Speaker 4: tomorrow not tomorrow, but I's Monday, Saint Patti's Day. But

20
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,639
Speaker 4: today is National Corn Dog Day, which is a very

21
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 4: very important day.

22
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: The corn dog. What a gift, right.

23
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 4: Can you imagine a world without the corn dog? My god,

24
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 4: what a nightmare that would be. But here we are celebrating.

25
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 4: I don't know why today is National corn Dog Day.

26
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 4: Seems kind of a random day to do it, but

27
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,639
Speaker 4: it is. Nineteen twenty nine. Fun fact, the Krusty corn

28
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 4: Dog Machine featured Albert pick El Barth. It was in

29
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 4: a catalog at hotel supply stores and so the Corny

30
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 4: Dogs vaudeville performers Carl and Neil Fletcher never heard of him,

31
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 4: started selling corny dogs at the Texas State Fair. That

32
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 4: was in nineteen forty two. So the corn dog is

33
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 4: not that old. The corn dog is is not something

34
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 4: that's been around. I mean, it's been around for almost

35
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 4: one hundred years, but you know, it's not as old

36
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 4: as some of the other stuff they were eating. But hey,

37
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 4: I used to love corn dogs. I remember in elementary school,

38
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 4: I hated the food. My mom would usually give me

39
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 4: a lunch box with like a tuna fish sandwich or

40
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 4: peanut butter and jelly or something like that, and I

41
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 4: always hated tuna fish sandwich day because by the time

42
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 4: we got the lunch the tuna was warm and disgusting,

43
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 4: and I hate so much of it.

44
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: I don't even eat seafood anymore.

45
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 5: But yeah, did your mom think that lunchtime at school

46
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 5: was ten thirty am?

47
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: I think so. I think she was convinced.

48
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 4: Well, she had like this little cheesy ice pack, but

49
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 4: it didn't really work. In all those early ice packs

50
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 4: were not the greatest thing in the world when they

51
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 4: first came out.

52
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: So it just was a bad situation.

53
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 4: But every once in a while I'd get the opportunity

54
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 4: when we got the schedule on the cafeteria food when

55
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 4: it was corn dog day, I'm in you know, that

56
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 4: was my day.

57
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: That was my day, corn dog.

58
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 4: Day that I got to be a big shot and

59
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 4: eat it to school lunch lunch area.

60
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: So that was big.

61
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 5: And the best batter is when they put the honey

62
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 5: in there, the honey corn dog.

63
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's so good. Now I have made corn

64
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 4: dogs at the Malor Mansion. The problem is they're they're

65
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 4: really jumbo size, which is not a problem, but they

66
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 4: don't look like your traditional corn dog. I rotate nuts

67
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 4: that you would buy at like a Wiener Schnitzel or

68
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 4: something along those lines. But anyway, now Danny have you

69
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 4: heard the phrase You're damned if you do, You're damned

70
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 4: if you don't.

71
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: You heard that phrase, right, You're damned if you do.

72
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 5: Know.

73
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 4: So, I feel like this podcast is a no win

74
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 4: situation because for a while we didn't talk any sports,

75
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 4: and we still don't talk that much sports, but on

76
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 4: the Saturday, and today's being Saturday, I mean, we've tried

77
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 4: to take advantage of some NFL stories and that'd be

78
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 4: dated by the time I come back on Sunday night

79
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 4: and Monday. And so I'm now getting people complaining that

80
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 4: we're doing too much sports on the podcast, that people

81
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 4: are upset that that we've gone away from what the

82
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 4: podcast is supposed to be. So you can't win because

83
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 4: before we were people people were complaining Danny.

84
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: They were like, well, you know, you don't talk any sports.

85
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: I tuned in for the sports. You don't talk any

86
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: what's wrong with you? You the Ben Malasher.

87
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 4: You talk about sports all night and then the week

88
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 4: is you talk about yet for lunch, you know, and

89
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 4: that kind of And I was like, Okay, so now

90
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 4: I'm trying to mix it in and damned if you do,

91
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 4: damn if you don't.

92
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: But screw those people. You know, why, Nanny, Because Cooper

93
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: Cup is now a Seattle Seahawk. Wow, Cooper Cup is

94
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: a Seattle Seahawk.

95
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna take advantage of this opportunity because I

96
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 4: don't want to waste time on the valuable airwaves of FSR.

97
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 4: But Cooper Cup yesterday agreed to a deal with the

98
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 4: Seattle Seahawks. And the reaction, that's really what I want

99
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 4: to talk about, because that many, many people in the

100
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 4: NFL world were stunned, not just fans, but a lot

101
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 4: of NFL types that Cooper Cup picked the team in

102
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 4: the Pacific Northwest. And now one fan, our guy Nostra Denis,

103
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 4: who's one of the twelves there, this bozo. He took

104
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 4: a victory lap on social media. He said, I called it.

105
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 4: I called it, and he's like, I can't wait to

106
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 4: hear the fifth dollar broadcast, he said tomorrow.

107
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: Okay.

108
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 4: So I would like to quote Danny the Great Vince Lombardi,

109
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 4: Vincent Lombardi who said, act like you've been there before.

110
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 4: No Stredenas your name is literally no Stredenis. Okay, you

111
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 4: are the self titled king of predictions. You're supposed to

112
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 4: be a prediction guy, so you know, zip it, zip it.

113
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 4: And I wouldn't be celebrating this because Cooper Cup's on

114
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 4: his last legs, So be careful what you wish for.

115
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 4: And the reason why so many people are gob smacked,

116
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 4: gob smacked by Cooper Cup going to Seattle, I'll tell you, hey,

117
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 4: it's simple.

118
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: Uh.

119
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 4: He was at a fork in the road and Cup

120
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 4: zigged when people expected him to that. Rather than sign

121
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 4: with a playoff contender, he announced He's ready to go

122
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 4: the extra mile. And I mean when I say extra

123
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 4: miled Danny, I mean the Miles Garrett, because Miles Garrett

124
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 4: is now the standard for I'm not into winning anymore.

125
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,239
Speaker 1: I just want the money.

126
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 4: And when he when he had that long rant a

127
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 4: couple of weeks ago about how I you know, I

128
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 4: don't want to be in Cleveland anymore. I want to

129
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 4: win Super Bowls and all that, and then the Browns

130
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 4: made him a godfather offer and it's like, you know,

131
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 4: I'm good all of a sudden, I'm okay with the

132
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 4: Browns and all that.

133
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: So when you go the extra mile.

134
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 5: Don't you think that was partly the Brown's fault? They

135
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 5: backed him into a corner by saying no way in

136
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 5: hell that they would move him.

137
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 4: No, no, they he could have held his ground and

138
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 4: would have gotten traded.

139
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 5: If that never works out well for NFL players though,

140
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 5: when they hold.

141
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 4: Out, Uh, I wouldn't say never. I mean there have

142
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 4: been examples where it blows up, like Leveon Bell when

143
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 4: he sat out the hole.

144
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm talking about prolonged holdouts where you miss games.

145
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. See, it's all about a game of chicken. Though.

146
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 4: As you know, it's like you call the bluff of

147
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 4: the team and generally the attitude. I'll give you the

148
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 4: idea the attitudes, like what Seattle said about DK Metcalf

149
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 4: the GM there was like, well, we want people to

150
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 4: want to be here, and he didn't want to be here,

151
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 4: and so we traded.

152
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: Him and all that. And I'm kidous.

153
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 4: If Miles Garrett wanted to be traded, there were plenty

154
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 4: of teams that would have traded and the Browns would

155
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 4: have done it. And even more evidence on that, Danny.

156
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 4: The story that came out I think it was on

157
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 4: Thursday of this week. I ranted about it on the

158
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 4: Overnight Show, was that Miles Garrett was showing up late

159
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 4: to meetings and he wasn't taking part in team functions

160
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 4: and stuff like that.

161
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: They were ripping him for being a bad leader.

162
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 4: You want to bet that was leaked by one of

163
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 4: the teams that thought they had a trade lined up

164
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 4: for Miles Garrett and they leaked that to sabotage him

165
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 4: because they're like, ah, you know, we couldn't get the player.

166
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 4: We thought we had a deal, and I guess he

167
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 4: backed out because he wanted the Browns contract, and so

168
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 4: then they start attacking it certainly didn't come from the

169
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 4: Browns and it didn't come from Miles Garrett, so it

170
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 4: had to come from another team. But as far as

171
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 4: Cooper cup though all right mentioned that people show, you know,

172
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 4: stunned by this and all that.

173
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: But he went to Miles Garrett route. He's got his

174
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: piece of metal.

175
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 5: He's also going home. He's from Eastern Washington exactly.

176
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 3: You know.

177
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 4: He won the MVP of the Super Bowl for the

178
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 4: Rams and all that. So the Rams, you know, they

179
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 4: they they got everything they could out of him, and

180
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 4: now I wish him, well, I know Seattle's apparently from

181
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 4: what I read overpaying him. I've read right yesterday like

182
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 4: fifteen million dollars a year and then finally.

183
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 5: Just like how your rams overpaid Davonte Adams.

184
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: R Colm down all right, com down? Uh and good

185
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: good luck.

186
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 4: And my final thought for Cooper Cup and I hope

187
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 4: he will take No Stradina's with him because in January,

188
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 4: when you're playing with Sam Darnold, you don't have to

189
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 4: worry about winning big games or getting to the playoffs.

190
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 4: So Cup and Donald and No Stradinas can all go

191
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 4: to like Cancun together and have a fine time. And

192
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 4: you know, fine, I listened Cooper Cup. I loved him

193
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 4: as a ram. He had one of the great years

194
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 4: in the history of the NFL. If you look at

195
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 4: his body work, he was about a good to great

196
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 4: player for maybe a year and a half, maybe a

197
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 4: year and a half, and then he's just consistently gotten

198
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 4: hurt and it's it's been an issue. And I'm convinced

199
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 4: Danny that Seattle people will say, well, they got bamboozled

200
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 4: when they picked up Cooper Cup. It was a total

201
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 4: bamboozled situation.

202
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 5: Well boy, right on time, there, Ben the Teimer, the

203
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 5: alarm was about to go because you were talking too

204
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 5: much sports.

205
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 2: I know.

206
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 4: I don't want to piss off people because I'm talking

207
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 4: sports Sporto on the weekend.

208
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: How well they were?

209
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 5: Really?

210
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 4: What was the one I did? Uh number a couple

211
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 4: weeks so, I don't think you were here for this.

212
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 4: It was a Pete Carroll one I did, like the

213
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 4: whole thing on Pete Carroll, I think if I remember correctly.

214
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: And I think that was here.

215
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, and oh yeah, you shouldn't have done that.

216
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: You did.

217
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then you did a whole you did a

218
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 5: bonus monologue on Jeno Smith. Oh yeah, because you got

219
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 5: in a Twitter beef with no I got.

220
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 4: Had nothing to do. I'm I'm a grown up Danny.

221
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 4: I don't hold grudges. I just call it like it is.

222
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 4: Sure you don't, Well, listen, you'll be gonna try hold on.

223
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 4: You will be asking me for negative Geno smifth monologues

224
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 4: by about week five. Okay, you will be saying can

00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 4: you rip Gino a little more on the Overnight show?

226
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 4: That's what you're gonna be telling me. You mean texting

Speaker 4: me messages. Can you tear into this Dow?

228
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:30,480

00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 5: a word to you. Well, one guy, Ben that I'm

230
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,480

00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 5: of days ago, the WiFi and the baby, the big

232
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 5: Baby Koa, who, by the way, has learned to say

233
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 5: the word wail.

234
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: Nice.

235
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, as we were pool side, we went to the

236
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 5: beautiful city you visited not too long ago to go

237
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 5: to the zoo.

238
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: Oh sure, San Diego. Love San Diego, Sonny.

239
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 5: But Wendy, you know, in southern California, we have some

240
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 5: leftover winter weather.

241
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,479
Speaker 1: Our California winter, California winter, which is Yeah.

242
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 5: I went to the bar to order some food to

243
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 5: go for us so that we could eat poolside without

244
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 5: you know, being charged the twenty extra dollars to have

245
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 5: some goof drop the food off to you sure, and

246
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 5: drop it off cold. So I thought, well, let me

247
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 5: go to the bar. I'll order it. I'll get the

248
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 5: food hot and bring it pool side so big Baby

249
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 5: Koa can have a cheese pizza and say whale. As

250
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 5: women were walking past him, he was saying whale. A

251
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 5: true story. I swear to god. It was so not embarrassing.

252
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 5: It was so hilarious because the look on the ladies'

253
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 5: faces they didn't know whether to say how adorable or

254
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 5: to be offended.

255
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: What it likely depended on how much they waited.

256
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 5: Right likely, he said, it's so cute, he says, wa.

257
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 4: Have you I'm assuming you've taken them out on a

258
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 4: whale watching thing.

259
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: Have you taken him out?

260
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 5: No? But before we left left in their gift shop

261
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 5: there there was a whale and a stuffed whale, and

262
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 5: I got that for him for a great deal for

263
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 5: fourteen ninety nine a little stuffed whale. That was the

264
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 5: best deal I got a couple days ago on this trip.

265
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 5: So we're pool side with the food. But before I

266
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 5: delivered the food to the fam, I'm sitting at the

267
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 5: bar to get the happy hour price on the wings

268
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 5: that I was going to bring over along with our pizza.

269
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 5: The bartender told me I needed to sit down. You

270
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 5: can't get the specials if you're just taking the food

271
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 5: to go. So I told him, all right, well, I'll

272
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 5: sit down. I'll have one alcoholic beverage while I wait

273
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 5: for the food to come out of your kitchen. And

274
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,599
Speaker 5: so it worked out. Good wife is with the co

275
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 5: at the pool. He's probably calling five other women whales

276
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 5: during that time span. I ordered a couple of Pizzas

277
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 5: I get the wings, he slaps the wings down in

278
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 5: front of me. I get a dark beer, pours the guinness,

279
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 5: puts it in front of him, and there's a guy

280
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 5: to the left of me with his wife and they're

281
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 5: talking about how they're so excited because after they leave

282
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 5: the bar they're going to go to a tattoo shop.

283
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 5: Wife is going to get some new ink. So they're

284
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 5: showing their tattoos. He's talking about the tattoos he's got

285
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 5: on his arms, and he looks over at me and

286
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 5: he could see my twenty three tattoos and he says, man,

287
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 5: that's some nice ink. Start talking tattoos with this guy.

288
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 5: He said, yeah, on my left leg, this whole leg

289
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 5: right here is going to be my sports legh okay,

290
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 5: And he says, you know, with what I do for

291
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 5: a living, I actually get a lot of pro athlete signatures.

292
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: OK.

293
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 5: So I'm thinking, oh, no, don't tell me I'm sitting

294
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 5: next to some sports radio guy.

295
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: Oh boy, no.

296
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 5: Ben turns out he's a referee.

297
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: Really.

298
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 5: I got like, yeah, Mike, I'm thinking to myself, well, dude,

299
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 5: this guy's got a lot of ink on him for

300
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 5: being a referee. But you know, maybe with the long, longer,

301
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 5: short sleeve referee shirts. Maybe he hides the ink. Yeah,

302
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 5: I don't know, but I'm not gonna whip out my

303
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 5: phone and google this guy right in front of him.

304
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 5: So he's talking about refereeing, and the people to his

305
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 5: right are very impressed by his referee stories. Okay, the

306
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 5: bartender starts listening as well, and we're thinking, man, did

307
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 5: this guy just you know ref the suit? Was he

308
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 5: part of the super Bowl crew? He's here on this

309
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 5: nice vacation, it looks like, with his wife and they're

310
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 5: getting new ink, and he's talking about his sports leg

311
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 5: and he's gonna get he has all these NFL players autographs,

312
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 5: and he's gonna he's gonna get like a mural on

313
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 5: his leg of NFL stars and autographs. Sure, and I'm thinking, well,

314
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 5: that's kind of a fanboy for somebody that's a referee.

315
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 5: It didn't make a lot of sense to me. He

316
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 5: he gets a phone call and it seemed really important,

317
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 5: you know, man, Maybe Roger Goodell.

318
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: Is calling him right now.

319
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 5: Sure, because he takes his phone back and he looks

320
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 5: at both parties being the other people, and he's, excuse me,

321
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 5: I got to take this. So he wanders away from

322
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 5: the bar, area and he's on this important call. I

323
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 5: look over to his wife and she starts to talk

324
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 5: to me about the tattoos she's going to get. And

325
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 5: I asked her, I said, so, how long has he

326
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 5: been refereeing?

327
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 3: In?

328
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 5: Which league? Does he referee NFL games? And she says, oh,

329
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 5: oh no, no, he's a high school refer.

330
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 4: Oh man, I was gonna say, I didn't want to

331
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 4: off to you, but it's like, this sounds like a

332
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 4: hard old guy that's like a heart high school referee.

333
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 4: Oh boy, why you know, he's certainly got that.

334
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 5: I felt very bamboozled because the stories he was telling

335
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,479
Speaker 5: the folks, and how proud he was about these signatures

336
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 5: he says he gets from all these pro athletes, and

337
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 5: just the way he carried himself. You know, you would

338
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 5: have thought this was Ed Hocule's next to me.

339
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

340
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, isn't it like the real big time officials

341
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 4: probably don't talk about it, right, They probably say they

342
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 4: do something else or something. But that is that's amusing.

343
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 4: So he led you guys on. This guy had the

344
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 4: whole room. It sounds like he was in control of

345
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 4: the whole room. It's like the master of ceremonies.

346
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: At this bar.

347
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 5: I wish I had a red Challenge flag. When he

348
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 5: came back from his fake important call, I would have

349
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 5: threw the flag at him.

350
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 4: This reminds me and I think I can tell the

351
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 4: story now because everyone's dead. But when I first went

352
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 4: to Dodgertown in Vero Beach back many many I was

353
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 4: like thirty years ago, and they had a famous bar,

354
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 4: Dodgertown Bar. Nothing in Vero Beach but Dodgertown. They had

355
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 4: everything at a restaurant at the bar all that so,

356
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 4: and we were doing this the show back to La

357
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 4: and then we had a lot of downtime. There's nothing

358
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 4: to do in Vero Beach at that time. I heard

359
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 4: there's more to do there now, and so we would

360
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 4: just hang out around the Dodgertown Bar. At that time,

361
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 4: me and I was in the show It's the Dave

362
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 4: Dave Smith, and we were you know, and every single

363
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 4: guys and we just hung out in Occasionally we try

364
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 4: to go out and that one.

365
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: That's a whole different can of hors.

366
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 4: But I remember after some of the Dodger games, there

367
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 4: were a couple of the umpires that would come in

368
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 4: there and drink at the Dodger Town Bar, and it

369
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 4: was always odd to be I was like, what, wait

370
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 4: a minute, is it that like a conflict of interest?

371
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 4: But I guess that one of them lived in Vero

372
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 4: Beach or adjacent and that was like the that was

373
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 4: the spot.

374
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: They just go in.

375
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 4: There and drink and tell tell stories. One thing about

376
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 4: baseball dudes, I mean they those guys, they just love

377
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 4: telling stories. They all it is is one story after

378
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 4: another and another. That used to be this famous bar

379
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 4: in Manhattan. I think it just closed. It was open

380
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 4: for like one hundred years, and you know, going back

381
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 4: to like the late early nineteen hundreds, maybe late eighteen hundreds,

382
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 4: and it was like a rite of passage for all

383
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 4: the baseball writers that would go through New York and

384
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 4: a lot of the baseball people would go and they

385
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 4: have drinks at this bar. It was in Manhattan, Uh,

386
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 4: kind of near where the hotel the ust all stay

387
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 4: at the Grand Hyatt in Manhattan. But I think it closed,

388
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 4: but I remember going in there and there were some

389
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 4: some umpires in there too. Umpires love to drink. I

390
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 4: just all this is coming into my head because of

391
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 4: your story. Dan, I blame you just random random thoughts

392
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 4: that pop into my head about various umpires and things

393
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 4: like that. But they were actually professional umpires.

394
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: They were not.

395
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was going to say that. And then before

396
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 5: he took that supposed important call, I was thinking to myself, Man,

397
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 5: this is going to be a great story to tell

398
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 5: on the podcast because I'm sitting having a drink with

399
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 5: an NFL referee.

400
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then wrong.

401
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 4: The rest of the story is part I've interviewed two

402
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 4: officials in my career. One of them was Ken Kaiser.

403
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 4: Do you know Newmerk Ken Kaiser is an umpire, Yeah,

404
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 4: I do, kind of an overweight umpire. Ken Kaiser was

405
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 4: also like into wrestling and he was selling I'll never

406
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 4: forget because I got an email from his publicist, Ken

407
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 4: Kayser at a publicist. He was selling shark cartilage to

408
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 4: help your like your ligaments like supplements, Shark shark cartilage supplements.

409
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: I still remember. We had a lot. Yeah.

410
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 4: And then the other one was on this podcast. We

411
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 4: had Tim Donnie on and the guy that was betting

412
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 4: on NBA games and fixing NBA games and all that,

413
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 4: and he wrote a book and you know, one of

414
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 4: the more famous stories, and.

415
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:28,959
Speaker 1: I remember that Kaiser guy.

416
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 5: He kind of looked like a walrus.

417
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: He did, he.

418
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 4: Did, he did actually look like That was back when

419
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 4: umpires had personality. Now it's another thing that's changed in

420
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 4: my lifetime, Danny. The over the top managers and umpires

421
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 4: were part of the show, like when we were kids, right, Danny,

422
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 4: like the it was part of the Yeah, the the

423
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 4: the confrontations between the umpire and the manager and bigger

424
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 4: than live personalities, whether they were kind of goofy, fat

425
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 4: looking dudes like Thesorda or Earl Weaver or Bill Martin

426
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 4: who was thin.

427
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, there's no more Billy Martin's left

428
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 5: in major League baseball.

429
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: Nah.

430
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 4: No, they're almost all dull, like all the manager Dave

431
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 4: Roberts is whatever.

432
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 1: He doesn't say anything all that interesting.

433
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 5: And they're almost like zombie managers now who just take

434
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 5: marching orders from upstairs.

435
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're just middle managers. Is Joe Madden. Joe Madden

436
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 4: would be. He's like one of the last ones. I

437
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 4: bet you we could get him on I have I

438
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 4: think I have his information.

439
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: The problem with.

440
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 4: Joe Madden I've heard is he does not want to

441
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 4: talk actual baseball.

442
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know if he's got any remote.

443
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: He might not do it unless he has something to promote.

444
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 5: But that will be perfect for this podcast. Since a

445
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 5: couple of people have complained you're talking.

446
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 4: Sports, yes, yes, I should say. I should ford those

447
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 4: emails to our bosses, Danny. I just want you to know,

448
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 4: in case you get upset that I'm not talking sports,

449
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 4: there's people also upset that I am talking sports. Just

450
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 4: for the frickin' record, I want to I want to

451
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 4: put that out there, and I failed to do this. Yes,

452
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 4: yesterday's pot was a little disjointed, not my better work.

453
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 4: I apologize. I was very tired, and I promise. I

454
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 4: think I said at some point I'm going to get

455
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 4: to this, and I didn't get to it. So I

456
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 4: want to get to it now. It's the cheese. So

457
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 4: I would like to thank listener Nico from Canada for

458
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 4: hooking up the Overnight Crew the Malord Crew with some

459
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 4: delicious treats this week, authentic Canadian goodies.

460
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 5: Well, I saw your boxing on Instagram.

461
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got a giant variety pack of these old

462
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 4: Dutch potato chips, including had original salt and vinegar, sour cream,

463
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 4: and onion and a very unique Ketchup flavored potato chip,

464
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 4: which I've never had anything like that before.

465
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 1: And our guy Nico is big p one.

466
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 4: He said, let me let me take care of you boys,

00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 4: and he hooked us up with these big boy cheesies

468
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 4: from the Hawkins brand. Now quick Malar food review, Danny. Now,

469
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 4: I enjoyed the potato chips. It's hard to screw up

470
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 4: a potato chip. Now, that being said, I didn't think

471
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 4: they were like light years better than anything I've eaten

472
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 4: here in the States, So they were good. I didn't

473
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 4: either were like that much better. That being said, the

474
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 4: ketchup chips. Have you ever had ketchup chips? Very very unique,

475
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 4: very unique chip. Maybe I'll bring you something. I'm worried

476
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 4: if I leave them someone else will eat them though,

477
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 4: so I don't know if I can put them somewhere where.

478
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: No one will will partake.

479
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 4: And as far as the cheeses are concerned, I had

480
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 4: very low expectations. I looked at the package, I said, well,

481
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 4: it's a nice package. Well that sounds dirty. But I

482
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 4: looked at the container, Danny, and I was like, well,

483
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 4: these are probably just cheetos with a Canadian maple leaf

484
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 4: logo on them you know who cares and the blessing

485
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 4: of low expectations. I could not have been more wrong.

486
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 4: These things were mind blowing. They're made with real cheddar cheese,

487
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 4: none of that fake none of that fake crap. I

488
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 4: also saw one of your guys, uh, I forget which

489
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 4: one a Covino or rich. One of them commented because

490
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 4: I posted some photos and they were like, oh that

491
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 4: these things are great, and I was like, I didn't

492
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 4: eat them at that time. I posted some photos, but

493
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 4: I hadn't eaten them yet because I do this stupid

494
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 4: fasting thing, so I only once a day. So anyway,

495
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 4: so this, uh, this is the second greatest thing that's

496
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 4: been in my mouth from Canada after poutine.

497
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: My god, Oh.

498
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 5: That's a drop. I'm gonna just cut out.

499
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: Have you ever had these cheesies things?

500
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 2: Man?

501
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 4: Oh my god, this is the second greatest thing that's

502
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 4: been in my mouth from Canada. You have crossed the rubicon.

503
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 4: There's no going back to Cheetos. There's no going back. Wowsers.

504
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: This is it's real cheat. It's the cheese Day.

505
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 4: It's a game changer, and I gotta get more of

506
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 4: these things.

507
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: I'm worried Trump's gonna put tariffs on this stuff.

508
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 4: So I gotta get more these things before the chairffs

509
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 4: in Canada because they're really good. And also several while

510
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 4: I'm at this, several Canadian p ones. I was gonna

511
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 4: save this for the mail bag tomorrow, but I'll just

512
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 4: get to it right now. Several Canadian pa ones, including

513
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,719
Speaker 4: I want to get the names that Steve Connor and

514
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 4: somebody named Wayne. I don't know who that is. That's

515
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 4: not Wayne from Southee because he's in Canada. They all

516
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 4: reached out this week and they heard Loraina mention a

517
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 4: mallord meet and greet in Canada.

518
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 1: Now.

519
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 4: Unfortunately for Connor, who I believe is in the Winnipeg area,

520
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 4: Wayne is somewhere near Calgary. I think I got that right,

521
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 4: might have gotten those backwards. Anyway, You're not gonna be

522
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 4: happy because I don't know where Steve is. He didn't

523
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 4: say where he's at. But let me put a disclaimer

524
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 4: on this right now. Right nothing is confirmed yet and

525
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 4: I probably shouldn't be saying this, but since Lorraina brought

526
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 4: it up, I'll bring it up here for the super

527
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 4: p ones that listen to this podcast. It is looking

528
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 4: more likely than not, very promising that we will have

529
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 4: something in Canada in late May, a mallor hopefully a

530
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 4: Malor Meet and grate. I don't know all the details.

531
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 4: The event would be in Vancouver. That's the tentative plan,

532
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:18,679
Speaker 4: and again it's not confirmed. No plane tickets have been purchased.

533
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 4: I don't even have my passport yet. I'm waiting to

534
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 4: get my passport, so that should be here sometime in April.

535
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 4: So if that happens, obviously I'll be able to go.

536
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 4: I think you can go to Canada without one, though,

537
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 4: but I'm not sure. And we have a super p one,

538
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 4: this guy Nico, who really wants the entire crew to

539
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 4: visit in Vancouver and check out his town and enjoy

540
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 4: the Canadian hospitality and all that. So I'm very excited

541
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,239
Speaker 4: about that. Nothing's confirmed, but I will probably one thing

542
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 4: about this show, Danny. You know, we will promote the

543
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 4: hell out of out of this and let you know

544
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 4: once everything's confirmed. And I am still working on the

545
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 4: Ohio meet and greet too. It's gonna be a very

546
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 4: busy summer. I have a feeling a lot of traveling

547
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:06,919

00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: Which I'm looking forward to.

549
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 4: I pretty much do all of my traveling in the

550
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 4: span of a couple of months, like three months. That's it,

551
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 4: make all my trips, and then the rest of the

552
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 4: time I'm just bunkered down at the mallor mansion in

553
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 4: the north Woods and don't do anything, just keep my

554
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 4: head down and keep.

555
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: Going and going and going and going and going.
