He 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

Before we 14 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: get into this, though, I would like to address the 15 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: great game show controversy that took place on the Overnight 16 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: Show this week and one of the most despicable things 17 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: that I have witnessed in my time in radio, Eddie 18 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: Garcia conspiring with Justin Cooper and Justin in Cincinnati to 19 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: Justin's and and Eddie to throw a game. Now you're laughing, Danny, 20 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: but I'm laughing because this explains why my timeline got 21 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: lit up a couple of days ago. Well, yeah, and 22 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: Mallard's mounting of money, which is a staple of the show, 23 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: and Eddie knowing that he could not win the game legitimately, 24 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: he deputized Justin and Cincinnati's I said on the radio 25 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: show The Manchurian candidate Justin and Cincinnati who as you know, Danny, 26 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: I mean justin Love. He he loves listening to the 27 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: radio station Fox Sports Radio, and he has an obsession 28 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: for weed and sports tribute. Uh. He's very good at 29 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: apparently smoking copious amounts of weed and also nose ridiculous 30 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: sports tributes like rain Man when it comes to sports tribute, Right, 31 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: you'd agree with me on those are two life goals 32 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: for all of us. Yes, So anyway, the point of 33 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: this is we're playing the game. Justin ends up picking 34 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: me as the the partner. And there are other investigators 35 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: in the Mallard militia that are claiming that this was 36 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: all set up, that this was all a ruse, and 37 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 1: it was all set up, and and the moment I 38 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: picked Justin, the plan went to orbit. That that was 39 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: the the ghost sign um, and I'm not sure about 40 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: all that. I don't know how deep this is. All 41 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: I know is it played down the radio. And the 42 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: most amazing thing about this is Eddie gave the sign, Danny, 43 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: you know what to do? Did he bang on a 44 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: trash can? No, he said it. He said it. He 45 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: said it. He didn't didn't dance around, he didn't juggle 46 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: around or anything like that. He said you know what 47 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: to do as kind of uh sorry a wink wink 48 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: to Justin In in Cincinnati. And and Justin, who's usually 49 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: so so good, he just completely felful. He took the 50 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: bait and so he got all upset because I banned 51 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: him for six months from the game shows, and I 52 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: think that's completely reasonable. I should have banned him for 53 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: life from the show, like real talk, but I chose 54 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: not to do that, so I gave him a break. Now, 55 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: I didn't get to hear the segment. So how many 56 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: did he miss? How many? How do you know he 57 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: threw it? Well because of the he was stalling and delaying. 58 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: He was stalling, and he was a savoteur. It was 59 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: absolutely ridiculous. And and the fact that there are some 60 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: unethical people that listen to the show. That thought that 61 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: was entertaining. Uh, these game shows are very serious. You've 62 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: been on the show, Danny, you've played the game shows. 63 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: You know that we take these game shows very seriously. 64 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: People think we're goofing around and this is all stick. 65 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: It ain't stick. Okay, these things are very important. This 66 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: is competition, this is athletic competition, competition of the mind, 67 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: all of that. It's a journey on these game shows. 68 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: And so I just wanted to get that off my chest. 69 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: I just wanted to start with that. Okay, But we 70 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: have Rat in a Maze, Picasso of Goats, Tough, tragic burn, 71 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: this summer down, not necessarily in that order, Backscratcher as well, 72 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: and I thought we'd start with this, So the Rat 73 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: in the Maze. I had a meeting the other day 74 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: during the week, uh business meeting in Burbank, as one 75 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: of our callers like to say, or we call a 76 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: Burbank right near Warner Brothers. So I was meeting with 77 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: some of the big shots that they're not able to 78 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: talk about what happened in that meeting here, not yet. 79 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: Hopefully soon we'll be able to discuss that share some 80 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: more information. So I got up very early. Is being replaced, Yes, 81 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: the new voice of the Dodgers, unless that's not the case. 82 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: So I got up early. I spent ninety minutes in 83 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: gridlock traffic at two in the afternoon. Now, I thought, 84 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: two in the afternoon, that's midday people are working, that's 85 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: not rush hour traffic. Ninety minutes at two o'clock in 86 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: the afternoon, So that was ridiculous. And all over the 87 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: highways and byways of southern California to get to this meeting. Now, 88 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: I had not been to this Burbank compounds since I 89 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: can't believe it's been that long, but it had been that. 90 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: I checked my my notes and it had been six 91 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: years since I had been there. Uh. And that's that's 92 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: the I heart l A cluster. This is where the 93 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: big l A stay. I Kiss FM, which big FM 94 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: station kf I AM five seventy at the home of 95 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: the Dodgers. These are the big stations in l A 96 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: and others. There's whole bunch of FM stations other than 97 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: Kiss FM. So I go to my meeting. Now, I'm 98 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: not sure how long the meeting's gonna last. I have 99 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 1: a lotted thirty minutes of time Danny for this meeting. 100 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: I figured that's a fair amount. Thirty minutes, ten minute 101 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: warm up, back, ten minute meeting, the meeting, and then 102 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: ten minutes to wind up. Are these executives are salespeople? Uh? No, 103 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: it was. It was a mishmash. It was. It was 104 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: some big shots, some heavy hitters, and so hand the 105 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: god Danny. By the time the meeting had ended, it 106 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: was almost two hours. So I had only a lot 107 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: of thirty minutes of time. And so what did you 108 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: do a monologue for everybody? Oh? God no, And I 109 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: want to tell you I had the patience of a 110 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: saint to sit through. So I sat there and I, 111 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: you know whatever. It was fine, and I enjoyed some 112 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: I like talking shop you know that day, and I 113 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: like talking radio and stuff. So we had a good conversation. 114 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: But two hours is a long time, and so that 115 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: completely messed up my entire schedule. And I planned to 116 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: have this nice lunch. I used to work in Burbank 117 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: and there's a a park into Luca Lake. So because 118 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: of the meeting going so long, my lunch plans were 119 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: completely bumped. Because I have a certain amount of time, 120 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: I'm i'd like to micro manage the overnight show, so 121 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: I have to prepare. I have a certain amount of time. 122 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: Instead of spending a couple of minutes eating lunch in 123 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: a park, I spent another thirty minutes going from Burbank 124 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: to Sherman Oaks. So because I got caught in rush hour, 125 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: now I'm two hours in traffic and I haven't really done. 126 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: But I had a meeting that was so I make 127 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: the decision on the fly. Here da, this is very important. 128 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: So I make the decision on the fly. I'm like, 129 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: I still need to eat something because I need to 130 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: break my fast and then start my neck fast. So 131 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: I had some food that my wife had had been 132 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: kind enough to prepare for me. So I I then 133 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: decided that I would just go to the Sherman Oaks 134 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: facility and I would eat my meal in my car. 135 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: So I scarfed down a Pastronomy sandwich on the fourth 136 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: floor of the parking garage. This is the life of 137 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: a radio star day. This is the life of a 138 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: radio start by myself in a car on a hot 139 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: day in Sherman Oaks, eating a Pastronomy sandwich and having 140 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: some chips. And now I did notice and I don't 141 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: see this at night. When I come in, there a 142 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: lot of like hippie looking people doing hot yoga. Oh yeah, 143 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: there was a lot of that. And some of them 144 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: look swarthy, some of them look slim, some of them 145 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: look lizard like. Yeah, the planning bed. Yeah, I noticed 146 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: there were a lot of very thin people that I thought, 147 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: instead of going here, they should probably eating the pastronomy 148 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: sandwich that I'm eating. Uh but whatever. And then there 149 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: are a couple of good looking people a couple of 150 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 1: really ugly people like, you know whatever, it's a it's 151 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: a mix. You go to a hot yoga thing. I 152 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: have no interesting have you ever done hot yoga? I've 153 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 1: never been to regular yoga. Now I know some of 154 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: the yoga moves because they're funny, like the double down 155 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: dog or whatever that is. Uh so that those those 156 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: things are funny. But so anyway, I'm like, okay, I've 157 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: eaten my lunch. Now I've started my next fast. I'm like, okay, 158 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna prepare for the show. And I was like, 159 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to be bothered. If I go to 160 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: the first floor, I'm gonna be bothered. And people are nice, 161 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: they want to talk to me, so I'm like, I 162 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: don't want. I don't want. So I said, Okay, I'm 163 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: thinking in my head like there's been a lot of 164 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: movement in the Premiere Networks facility because of there's a 165 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 1: move that's gonna happen, it's gonna take a long time 166 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: because of wiring and on um. So, so anyway, I'm like, okay, 167 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: I think we have studios on one of the floors. 168 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: Where where And actually parked next to the George nor So. 169 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: I knew that he had.

And so how did that go? 173 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: So I meagined, I parked near George Nory. So I 174 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: get through the courtyard through the big glass doors. I 175 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 1: go by the security guard, which I know because that 176 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: used to be the overnight guy. He's now earlier on 177 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: and so we're friends, me and and and there's great 178 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: sec Yeah, the comic book guy, he's doing the earlier shift, 179 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: and so you know, he waved me in and we 180 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: were we were talking and uh we both we exchanged niceties. 181 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: He said, you look great.

I walked 184 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: to the elevator, I get up. I go to the right. 185 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: I want to name the floor, but I go to 186 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: the floor where the studios and I'm like, okay, I'm 187 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: just gonna go in Danny to one of these empty 188 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: offices and I'm gonna use the WiFi and I'll watching 189 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: I watched the Yankee Mets game and on my laptop, 190 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: and I'll do the So I get out of the 191 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: elevator on the floor and I go over to where 192 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: I have normally gone for a long time, and I 193 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: go by the bathrooms. I opened the door, I go 194 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 1: through there on the left side, there's like a little 195 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: kitchen at where there's like a vending machine and a 196 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 1: couple of tables and some plastic wear and stuff like that. 197 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: So I'm like, okay, that's there. And then I keep 198 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: going straight and there's caution tape like a crime scene, 199 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: and I'm like, who died? What happened? Um? And I 200 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: look and I kind of peeked through the caution tape 201 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: and I see a bunch of empty rooms. But I 202 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: can't go by it's cautioned. So I'm like, okay, they 203 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: must be doing some construction. So then I'm like, I'm 204 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,559 Speaker 1: gonna go to the other side of the building and 205 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go through the other side of the building, 206 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna find where I need to go. 207 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: So I go through the other side of the building 208 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: and I you know, door opens, whatever, and I am 209 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: wandering around. Now at this point, I am a rat 210 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: in the maze. I'm wandering. I'm wandering, and it's you 211 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: know how you've been somewhere and you go back and 212 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: you don't recognize a lot of it. You're like, what happened? 213 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: I wasn't here that long ago. It reminded me of 214 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: the story of going to that mall on the Nevada 215 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: a California border where it was, Yeah, it was it 216 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: was that I got that vibe. It was very weird 217 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: and and so anyway, I failed. I struck out up. 218 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: I couldn't find a single empty They got rid of 219 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: the all of the office. There were a few studios, 220 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: and I was gonna sit in the guest studio, but 221 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: then that's right near George Norri's office, and I didn't 222 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: want to bother George. So I thought that would be rude. 223 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: I wouldn't want someone coming in here and bother me 224 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: and so so I didn't do that. So I did 225 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,079 Speaker 1: the walk of shame, Danny. I had to go back 226 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: down to the the ground floor there and uh and 227 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: sit in the old Casey Caseum studio, which is the 228 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: podcast studio, and I took the defeat. I went back 229 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: to the ground floor abode and hit out and put 230 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 1: the blinders up and all that, and surprisingly not many 231 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: people even noticed I was there, so that was good. 232 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: There weren't many people there. A lot of the guys 233 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: were doing the show from home, so I didn't have 234 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: to I did run into my Karmit I talked to 235 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: Harmon for a little bit. But it was a crazy 236 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: busy night and then I did the show after spending 237 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 1: all day there and all night. Did the show and 238 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: then I had to do some other stuff and it 239 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,319 Speaker 1: was it was a hot mess. I know the floor 240 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: you're talking about what happened to the million dollar renovation 241 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: they had done up there with all the blue waiting 242 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: rooms and lobbies. Well, I'm glad you brought that up, Danny, 243 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: because you'll be happy to know that some other business 244 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: will have that office space at some point in time, 245 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: but it is no longer part of the company's office space. 246 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: The hundreds of thousands of dollars that they spent to 247 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: renovate that, all the monitors, all the bells and whistles, 248 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: all of that, and just just great, just absolutely great. 249 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: Basically an entire floor of Ryan Seacrest's dressing rooms. You're right, 250 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: it was a lot of Hey, this guy is a 251 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: great talk show host. That guy's a great talk shows 252 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: and somehow they forgot to put my photo up in there, 253 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: or several other people, but I did see, uh, you 254 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: know a lot of the big names. They were bragging 255 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: about that. But they've battened down the hatches preparing for 256 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: the big move, so they're they're all excited about that. 257 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: So that was the rat in the maze. Now the uh, 258 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: the Picasso of goats real quick. So the Mallard Peluza 259 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: big success. We We did have some controversy in that. 260 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: Surfer Todd, the comedian, filed a formal complaint claiming that 261 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: there was some funny business that had taken place. We 262 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: can't do anything on this show without some kind of 263 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: nonsense so Todd was all upset. He claimed election fraud. 264 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: He said that Jay Scoop and just Josh had bought 265 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: Twitter votes in this dopey pole and he was very upset. 266 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: He claimed that they picked up hundreds of votes in 267 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: a very short amount of time, both denying the charge. 268 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: We have not gone further with the investigation, but Surfer 269 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: Todd was perplexed, puzzled and pissed. He was on the 270 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: war path. He was not happy.

Meanwhile, it's summertime in the city. But is 298 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: it time to burn this summer down? Danny g This 299 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,439 Speaker 1: has been a long week and the reason why, and 300 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: you can relate to this bend you've talked about the 301 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: catalytic converter crisis that you've had on your hands. Yes, 302 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: still don't have it. Yeah, I knew you didn't have 303 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: it yet because I've been dealing with auto mechanics the 304 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: past week. Man, I'm in your club right now, and 305 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: it's not a good club to be in. I'll take 306 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: you back to the very first day of summer school, 307 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: and my first class started at ninety and I saw 308 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: in the schedule that parent drop off was at eight forty. 309 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: So I'm thinking, you know, to avoid that rush of cars, 310 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: I should get there like nine. Give me some time 311 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: to set the classroom up a little bit and not 312 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: get there when everybody's dropping their kids off. Problem. I 313 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: get there and most of the parents had been running late, 314 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: probably because it was the first day of summer school 315 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: for them, trouble getting their kid into the car on time, 316 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: and they were just all running late in general. The 317 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: other thing I didn't know. I hadn't been on this 318 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 1: campus yet. It is up a hill on which wouldn't 319 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 1: be an issue except I drive a stick shift. Blank 320 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: my blank and blank you Now why do you drive 321 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: a stick shift? Do you love the stick shift? Is 322 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: that how you learned how to drive? Is it? What? What? 323 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: What is the stick shift? There? I don't I don't 324 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: know how to drive a stick shift. It's something that 325 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 1: I've learned to love over the past few years. This 326 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 1: is the first stick shift that I've had now. When 327 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: I was working on OutKick the coverage, it was perfect talk. 328 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 1: I had a clear race track to Sherman Oaks and 329 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 1: then after post production there was some light morning traffic, 330 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: but I still was able to move without a lot 331 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: of bumper to bumper. It wasn't until my life recently 332 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: that I was sitting in Saturday bumper to bumper l 333 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: A traffic to get to the studios, the same thing 334 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: for Sunday. And explain for those that don't understikes I 335 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 1: I do they still make stick shifts? Is that still 336 00:19:55,400 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: a thing? It's usually sports cars, okay, And explain for 337 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: those that have never driven a stick shift, like, like, 338 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: why is it harder in traffic? You're stopped, then you 339 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: have to get your car back into first, back into second, 340 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: back in the third. So basically you are down shifting 341 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: and shifting back up constantly. So it's a lot of 342 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: leg movement, it's a lot of our movement. You you 343 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: come to a stop and you have to start all 344 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 1: over again, whereas if you are gliding with your stick shift. 345 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: You don't have to ride your clutch, so it's bad 346 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: and bumper to bumper traffic because you are stepping on 347 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 1: your clutch too often. So I get to that first 348 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: day of summer school. Now, when I get around that 349 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: bend and I start going up the hill, I see 350 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 1: brake lights and I'm like, oh, step on my brake, 351 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: pull up my emergency brake, which is the trick when 352 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: you have a stick shift. And I looked behind me 353 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,360 Speaker 1: immediately because I'm like, I better you turn and get 354 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: out of here, because I know from a few years 355 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: ago being stuck at Dodger Stadium on the hill there, 356 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: that this is no good for the clutch. I look 357 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 1: back and there's already three parents behind me. So I 358 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: am trapped in this line going up this steep hill. 359 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 1: Don't panic, but I know it's bad. So I did 360 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 1: the trick where you try to catch the gear and 361 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: then release your break and you move forward. The problem 362 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 1: is this line is putting, it's barely going up. So 363 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: I make the executive decision screw this. I'm gonna drive 364 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: against head on traffic, and if any parent is driving 365 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: down the hill, oh well that's better. Than having to 366 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 1: put a new clutch into my sports car. I get 367 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: up the hill. The security guard at the gate of 368 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: the school is looking at me like I'm nuts. Explained 369 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: to him, I'm your new science teacher. Sorry, but I'm 370 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: driving a stick shift. I couldn't fit in that line. 371 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: And he's like, oh my god. He's like, I smell 372 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: you're burning clutch. I could smell it as well when 373 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 1: I rolled my window down, and I was like, oh boy, 374 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 1: this is not good. I've only smelled this one other time, 375 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 1: and it was at Dodger Stadium a few years ago. 376 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: So I parked my car. It reeks of a burned clutch, 377 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: praying at this point like please don't let it be serious, 378 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,199 Speaker 1: Please don't let it be bad. It smelled like this 379 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: for a couple of days, to the point where I 380 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: kept it parked and I had my Tenderoni dropped me 381 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: off on the second and third day of summer school. 382 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: So now fast forward, I am driving, and of course, 383 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 1: of all things been I'm driving to pet Boys to 384 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 1: get two new front tires installed. Finally, I'm caught up 385 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: on bills. Been working my ass off, I've been needing 386 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 1: two front tires, so I got my appointment. I'm on 387 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: my way there. First into second revving, not going into gear, 388 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: second to third revving, not going into gear, slipping, The 389 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: clutch is giving out, and it is all compliments of 390 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,479 Speaker 1: that hill. On the first day of summer school. If 391 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 1: I get it to the shop, the guy tells me, oh, yeah, yeah, 392 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: you better go to Leon's Transmission. This is not good now, Ben, Normally, 393 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: back in the day, you could get your clutch fixed. 394 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: Maybe shipping stalking issues right now something you're well aware of. Yeah, 395 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: what do you think that costs now? She said? Normally 396 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 1: it's like in the past when things were cheaper. I'm 397 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: gonna say it's closer. You're under three thousand. Maybe if 398 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: the flywheel was okay, but if you got to replace 399 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: the flywheel in the parts and the labor, don't forget 400 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: the labor now. Yeah? Yeah? Did you do what I 401 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: did and what I've been trying to do here over 402 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: the last to go on the internet and try to 403 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: find the part for cheaper damn? Right? I did. Uh. 404 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: Still still in the process of doing that right now. 405 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 1: But now this shop and they had some good references 406 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: coming from Pep Boys and Yelp. I wanted to think 407 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: that they were being honest with me. They called around, 408 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: they got the price in the parts from the dealership, 409 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: They got parts and prices from some independent shops in 410 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 1: my area. Four thousand dollars, oh my god, the high 411 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: end from the dealership. So four thousands the minimum. So 412 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: my car is just under forty thou miles. I'm early 413 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: on this, and you know why, because I burned it 414 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,199 Speaker 1: out on that hill. It should last you for longer 415 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: than four years. Coming to terms with the fact that 416 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: I've basically just worked this summer school for pro bono. 417 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because the money that you're yeah, yeah, because 418 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: the money I are is the money that it's gonna 419 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: cost to put the new clutch in. So I've just 420 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: kind of kept a positive attitude first day I found 421 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: out about it, though I'm not gonna lie. Said some 422 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 1: some words. I probably shouldn't have yelled out loud, probably 423 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 1: kicked a few things around the garage. I did some 424 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 1: shadow boxing. Um, there's nothing you can do because you're 425 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: not a mechanic and know any mechanics. So it's like, 426 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: and even if you know a mechanic, are they going 427 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: to be able to pull that off? It's probably a 428 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: very complex Yeah. Now, the family does have one auto 429 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: mechanic friend in the San Fernando Valley, and I was 430 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: able to get ahold of him. He's busy right now. 431 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 1: As soon as he's not busy, I'm gonna bring the 432 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 1: car to him, So I'm gonna go that route and 433 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: see if he can help. But yeah, man, when you 434 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,360 Speaker 1: have issues and you need an auto mechanic, it's one 435 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: of those deals where it's just as serious as needing 436 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: a surgeon. Well, for sure, it's like, you know all 437 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 1: those jobs is that people kind of pooh pooh, but 438 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,360 Speaker 1: they're so important, like auto mechanic, tow truck driver, When 439 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: my car broke down, you're desperate for aiver to help you. 440 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: Um all, like plumber. You have a pipe that bursts 441 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 1: and you need a plumber. All of those things are 442 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: so so valuable. But yet you know, oftentimes you're like, 443 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 1: who cares about that? But those are very important things. 444 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: I'm right there with you. Yeah, our cars are gonna 445 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: be parked next to each other with car covers on 446 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 1: both of them. We have the tub Tragic story. So 447 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: the Life of Mallard podcast, we made a little upgrade. 448 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 1: At least we thought was an upgrade at the Mallard mansion. 449 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: And I've been channeling lately my inner sports sorceress Andrea 450 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: and I have. I've turned to soothing baths, you know, 451 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 1: taking the bath after a long week with ebs and salt, 452 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: and I've heard her talk about is my wife actually like, yah, 453 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: you should do this, it will help calm you, your 454 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 1: body down and all that. She had recommended it. So 455 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: last week, now we have a bathtub. I I think 456 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: I used the thing like twice up until like a 457 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: week ago, but now I've decided I want to use 458 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 1: it all the time. So so we have this thing, 459 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: and my wife's like, oh, we're gonna upgrade it. She 460 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: decided to get a tub tray. You might think, well, 461 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: why would you bring this up? Who cares? You got 462 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 1: a tub tray. It's the most basic thing that's not 463 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: something to talk about on a podcast. But wait till 464 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: you hear the rest of the story. So she gets 465 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,360 Speaker 1: all you know, she's fired up. Look at this thing. 466 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 1: It's gonna be great. You're gonna love the You're gonna 467 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: take a bath every day. I'm like, yeah, it looks 468 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: pretty good. Whatever. So I first bath, I take hand 469 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: to God. Here, I'm taking the bath. I put the 470 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: tray up. Everything's going fine, everything's going great. I'm like, oh, 471 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,640 Speaker 1: this is pretty good. I've got my phone there. It's 472 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: this nice black tray and you put your phone or 473 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 1: your tablet on there and you can lay back and 474 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: enjoy a bubble bath and then just watch your phone 475 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 1: or whatever play on your phone. Whatever. My So the 476 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: bath ends not not eventful at all. Um. So then 477 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: I'm getting out of the bathtub, and as I'm getting 478 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 1: out of the bathtub, there was a little bit of 479 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: a misstep and the tray for the the tub falls 480 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: into the bathtub. So I'm like, oh, what's the big deal. Okay, 481 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: I'll just pick it up. But somehow in the process 482 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: of it falling and it's not it didn't fall very 483 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,360 Speaker 1: far far at all, and all this Danny, there are 484 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: now black stains all over the white tub, and I'm like, wow, 485 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: these are probably just scrub off, and so I grabbed 486 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: some towels and starts scrubbing. They don't come on the yeah, 487 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: the inside of the tub. When I got out of 488 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: the tub, the thing fell down and not only did 489 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: scratch it to put the cherry on top of the 490 00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: poop Sunday. It also stained it because it is one 491 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: of these things you bought off Amazon that was made 492 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: in China, and I guess they did not anticipate the 493 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: degree of heat that would be in a bathtub and 494 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: would melt the black paint that was it's like melted 495 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: black plastic tar. Oh, it was a nightmare. It's still 496 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: a nightmare. And so we pulled out the magic eraser. 497 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: My wife's scrubbing, she's like originally she was like, oh, 498 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: it's no big deal. Whatever. It was a big deal, Danny. 499 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: And this has been a fair amount when when the 500 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: home was renovated and all this stuff, we spent a 501 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 1: fair amount. And uh, you know, those bathtubs are not 502 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: are not inexpensive. So where you need that infamous l 503 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 1: a cleaner that we've talked about. It's a good idea. 504 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: It's so toxic it can clean anything. Yes, you will 505 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: lose days of your life possibly, but that's a hell 506 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: of a product. Diet we gotta get out on backscratchers. Oh, 507 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: we always say every week, if you send us a 508 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: nice review on the Apple podcast page, give us a 509 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: nice You can give us five stars if you want 510 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: and do whatever you want five stars would be great. Uh, 511 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: and then we'll read the review on the show. It's 512 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: you scratch our back, We'll scratch your back, well, Danny. 513 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: This week we have reached a new milestone, a dead end, yes, 514 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: not not one. We pitched a shutout this week on 515 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: the Apple podcast page, which is disheartening. You know what, 516 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: I'll take some solace in this though. Ben got a 517 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: nice message from our boss this past week. It seems 518 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: as if he has read through some of those reviews 519 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: and he was very, very happy. So you always joke 520 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,959 Speaker 1: about how our management loves those Apple podcast reviews, Well 521 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: they read through them this past week.
