But we are back at it, full 17 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 3: weekend of podcast, full weekend of podcast, and I'm only 18 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 3: gonna be off a couple of days next week, so 19 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 3: I'll be here most of the upcoming week on the radio. 20 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 3: So Thursday's pretty tough day, and so I figured I 21 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 3: had plenty of time off in my box. If you will, 22 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 3: you know the work they have, how many days off 23 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 3: you have and all that stuff. I don't normally take 24 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 3: many days off, but Thursdays are very difficult because I 25 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 3: do the overnight show. Then I'm up during the day 26 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 3: filming Benny Versus the Penny, and then I have to 27 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 3: go back and do the overnight show and somewhere in 28 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 3: there I usually get about two and a half to 29 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 3: three hours of sleep. 30 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: So I figured it's the end of the year. 31 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 3: They want me to use some of the time. The 32 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 3: company always wants me to use more time than I use. 33 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 3: They kind of get upset with me that I don't 34 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 3: take more time off. So I said, what DF. So 35 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 3: I was not here last night, but I did watch 36 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 3: the Charger game. I want the record to show I 37 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 3: was I didn't go to the Charger game. I didn't 38 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 3: see our friend Eddie. I was not at the Charger 39 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 3: game last night because of the logistics of getting from 40 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 3: Universal Studios in Hollywood Inglewood not not an easy path 41 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 3: at the time that game kicked off. 42 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: But oh what a game it was. 43 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 3: The Chargers getting absolutely roasted at halftime, looking like they 44 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 3: were dead in the water, down twenty one to thirteen 45 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 3: and a half time in that game last night against 46 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 3: the Broncos, the upstart Broncos, and after watching the way 47 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 3: the Chargers played last week against Tampa Bay, and then 48 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 3: seeing the performance here. 49 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: I was like, WHOA, what's going on? 50 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 3: But they obviously played much better than the second half, 51 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 3: and we saw we saw the wacky play that I 52 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 3: didn't even know was a thing because it's never happened 53 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 3: since I was a child. The Chargers. The comeback included 54 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 3: Cameron Dicker, the kicker, making the first successful fair catch 55 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 3: kick in the NFL in forty eight years. That's two generations, 56 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 3: and he hit it from fifty seven yards the final 57 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 3: play the first half, so that made it twenty one 58 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 3: to thirteen. The Chargers saw the game, you know, they win, 59 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 3: So they're nine and six, justin Herbert, a couple of 60 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 3: touchdown passes, a couple of rushing touchdowns for the Gus Bus, 61 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 3: and the Chargers now have a ninety seven percent probability 62 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 3: of making the playoffs. 63 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 1: So they're in good shape. 64 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 3: And they can wrap it up without doing anything on 65 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 3: Sunday because they've already played. If the Colts lose to 66 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 3: the Titans in Miami, also goes down to the forty 67 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 3: nine Ers and the Chargers are in the post season, 68 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 3: so they've they've got that in the back. As far 69 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 3: as the dope Holidays. Today is dot your Eyes Day. 70 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 3: You probably don't know what that is.

I loved Costco too, and 179 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 3: so I reached out to Matt's wife over the weekend. 180 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 3: And for those that don't know the backstorm, I don't 181 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 3: get all of it. But Matt had had a medical 182 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 3: emergency I think about a month before, but I'm not 183 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 3: sure on the timeline. I'm not sure exactly on the timeline, 184 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 3: but he stopped interacting with the show. We were concerned 185 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 3: about him. We did a Hey, what's going on? He 186 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 3: had almost died a couple of weeks prior, and he 187 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 3: came back. He had cardiac arrest and all kinds of 188 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 3: problems and whatnot, and based on like a COVID thing, 189 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 3: but it was something else mixed in, and I don't 190 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 3: know about everything involved in it, but he almost died, 191 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 3: and then he came back and he messaged me and 192 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 3: some of the fans of the show, and I'd give 193 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 3: them a little message on on X. In fact, I 194 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 3: was actually going to do a big to do I 195 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 3: can tell the story now. I was going to this 196 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 3: whole big to do for Matt Welcome, I'm back. And 197 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 3: I was actually told not to do that by some 198 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 3: of the guys that are friends with Matt on the show. 199 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 3: They said Matt didn't really want that. He didn't want 200 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,839 Speaker 3: all the attention. So he's probably annoyed on the other 201 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 3: side that I'm doing this, but you know, deal with it. 202 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 3: So so anyway, I reached out to Matt's wife to 203 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 3: get some more information, and Matt, as I said, four 204 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 3: or five nights a week, would give me feedback. He 205 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 3: sent jokes in occasionally for the lame jokes that we did. 206 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 3: I did that a few times over the years. And 207 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 3: the thing that Matt was a maestro at was the 208 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 3: insta trivia and the who am I? 209 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: Game? 210 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 3: And this mfor okay, this Matt all right, Matt the 211 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 3: war ear raider fan, Matt was a master of trivia. 212 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 3: And I told his wife, you know, we were talking 213 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,839 Speaker 3: about him a little bit, we're texting back and forth, 214 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 3: and she explained to me that he had the memory 215 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 3: like an elephant, right, and she these are her words, 216 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 3: and they were like, he should be a lawyer.

So his wife had 230 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 3: a normal eight to five or nine to five whatever job, 231 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 3: and then he would work from five or so in 232 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 3: the evening in northern California until. 233 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: Midnight or one in the morning, and so he would 234 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 1: listen to. 235 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 3: Our show at that particular time. He's a huge, huge 236 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 3: sports guy, obviously, you know, listening to sports radio. 237 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: But he loved the. 238 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 3: Raiders, the A's, the Warriors, and even the San Jose Sharks. 239 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 3: You didn't talk much about the Sharks on the show. 240 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 3: And while he was in active P one, Matt, the 241 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 3: Raiders left Oakland, the Warriors left Oakland to go across 242 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 3: the Bay, and the Athletics announced they're leaving to go 243 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 3: to Sacramento, and then eventually they're moving. 244 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: To Las Vegas. 245 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 3: And Matt would go to quite a few baseball games 246 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 3: and hockey games with his wife and whatnot.

He got 249 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 3: up to twenty one of the fifty one states we 250 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 3: are told, So that's a good run. I mean, he 251 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 3: lived in California and the states are far apart, so 252 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,959 Speaker 3: you get to twenty one, that's a solid, solid run. 253 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 3: I'm also told that Matt loved Seinfeld. He could recite 254 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 3: old lines from Seinfeld, and he and his old man, 255 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 3: his dad loved Seinfeld, which is one of the iconic 256 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 3: shows of all time, right our period of time, the 257 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 3: same age as Matt, and that was a massively important 258 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 3: show for sure, for sure. And also Matt loved planes, trains, 259 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 3: and automobiles, and he was a big fan of that 260 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 3: and actually was watching it. Jennifer told me he watched 261 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 3: it a couple days before he had to go back 262 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 3: to the emergency room, and he watched it every Thanksgiving. 263 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 3: That was the tradition for moving for Matt, moving. 264 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 1: Around there around the bay. He always had the planes, trains, 265 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: and automobiles. 266 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 3: Now, I mentioned the final roast because one of the 267 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 3: great final moments on our show as a super contributor 268 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 3: for Matt was the Tom Brady Roast. The Tom Brady Roast. 269 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 3: So I think we're actually going to replay some of 270 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 3: this monologue. I did a monologue after the Brady Roast, 271 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 3: which was on I think it was on Netflix, and 272 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 3: I watched it. I thought it was funny, and I 273 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 3: was like, my show, I have editorial control, so I'm 274 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 3: gonna do a little mention in the monologu. 275 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: I don't think I started the monologue with it. 276 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 3: It was like at the end of a monologue, the 277 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 3: last couple of minutes, I just ranted about what I 278 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 3: enjoyed and the Tom Brady roast and this that and 279 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 3: the other thing, and so that was fine. 280 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: And that was so offensive to Matt. He was so 281 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: taken aback. 282 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 3: He did not think it was funny at all. So 283 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 3: he was trying. He was busting my balls, Matt. And 284 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 3: then I decided, all right, you know what I'm going 285 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 3: to add on, just to get back at you, you sucker. 286 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 3: I'm going to add on a fan of the Tom 287 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 3: Brady rose to any of your name. So I did 288 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 3: that for a while, and he seemed to be annoyed 289 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 3: by that, but he played along, and so we went 290 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 3: back and forth. 291 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: On that quite a bit, and. 292 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 3: Just my my condole insist to everyone that loved him 293 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 3: and knew him. And you know, I didn't get a 294 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 3: chance to meet him. I wish I had, But I 295 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 3: really felt a connection as much as he can on 296 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 3: the radio show, because he was there for so long. 297 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 3: I just knew that no matter how stupid I was, 298 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 3: or what ridiculous thing I said, or you know, whether 299 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 3: it was a lot going on in sports, or it 300 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 3: was kind of a sluggish. 301 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: Time where we were. 302 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 3: I remember during COVID we were throwing marble racing monologues 303 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 3: out there and just anything to fill the time. We 304 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 3: had a lot of time and there wasn't a lot 305 00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 3: of stuff going on, and we had to fill the time. 306 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: And Matt was one of the guys that was there 307 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: and support of our show. 308 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 3: So again I wanted to thank his contribution and hopefully 309 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 3: rest in peace. They're Matt and on the other side 310 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 3: and all that, and we'll hopefully get together again some 311 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 3: time down the line. We got a lot of good 312 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 3: listeners that have passed away. This has been a tough 313 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 3: year in my time doing this show is there's never 314 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 3: been a year quite like this. We've lost people from illness, 315 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 3: and a lot of people end up finding our show 316 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 3: when they're not doing well and then they're lonely, they're 317 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 3: at night in the hospital whatever, and it's in pain 318 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 3: and they can't sleep, and so they'll they'll find the show, 319 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 3: and so we've We've always had a fair number of 320 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 3: people that are sick or not doing well, and then 321 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 3: eventually a lot of them will get better and then 322 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 3: they'll move on to other stuff, they'll forget about us, 323 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 3: and then some of them will keep listening, and then 324 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 3: all those, unfortunately will not make it and then we 325 00:16:58,400 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 3: lose them. 326 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: But this has been the year. 327 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 3: We lost Matt, who was many more years to live 328 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 3: at age forty nine. And mass Ole Mickey died in 329 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 3: a car accident, also around Matt's age, so actually a 330 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 3: little younger, I believe. 331 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: So just a tough time, a. 332 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 3: Tough time, all right, turning the page on that, though 333 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 3: there's no good transition, there's really no good transition. 334 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: What's up, Doc? What's up? Doc? So Benny versus the Penny? 335 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 3: I know, shameless promotion for the TV show, but it's 336 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 3: not really about the TV show.

It's on a bunch of 339 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 3: cable channels, but for us, it's produced out of NBC 340 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 3: Sports Boston, so that is the mothership, that is the flagship. 341 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 3: It's on all these other NBC affiliates, but it's NBC 342 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 3: Sports Boston. It's their show. We do the show from 343 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 3: La Universal Studios, but they produce it.

I feel like it's my office. 441 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 3: So I set up my shop and plug everything in 442 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 3: to charge everything and put my final notes together for 443 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 3: the TV show, look for any last minute injuries that 444 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 3: I might have missed or anything like that. 445 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 1: And I prepare for the show. 446 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 3: But getting there, I get there very early, way before 447 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 3: I need to be there, way before I need to 448 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 3: be there. But I live far away, and so why 449 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 3: would I Why would I bother? Why would I bother 450 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 3: going all the way back back home and then having 451 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 3: to come back and traffic and all that rush hour traffic. 452 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: Didn't want to deal with it. So I go in 453 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: there and hang out. 454 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 3: But yesterday was different than most days because I show up, 455 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 3: go to the gate I've been going to this season, 456 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 3: and I pulled through and I where I normally would 457 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 3: turn left, there's cones, not allowed to go, not allowed 458 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 3: to go. So I'm like, okay, So I keep driving, 459 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 3: thinking at some point I'll be able to make a 460 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 3: left turn and then I'll be able to go back 461 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,360 Speaker 3: where I need to go on River Road and get 462 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 3: to the Abbott and Costello parking lot, and I'll be fine. 463 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 3: So I keep driving and there's nowhere to turn. There's 464 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,439 Speaker 3: literally nowhere to turn. I am pretty much boxed in here, 465 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 3: and I keep driving and driving. Next thing I know, 466 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 3: the malormobile is driving in Manhattan.

I don't want to. 470 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 3: Get caught, you get in trouble. Not that I was 471 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 3: not breaking any rule, It was a harmless mistake. I 472 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 3: was trying to get where I needed to go. So anyway, 473 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,719 Speaker 3: I made a U turn. Drive all the way back 474 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 3: to the front to the gate. I asked the security 475 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 3: I said, listen, I mean I need to go here, 476 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 3: and I can't go where I need to go. What's 477 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 3: going on with that? And the security guard is very 478 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 3: nice and say, well, now gate one's open, So you 479 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 3: got to get out of here, and you got to 480 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 3: turn right, and then you got to make another right 481 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 3: and then you can go where you need to go, 482 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 3: but you can't go here. 483 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 1: Because it's Gate two and Gate two doesn't go to 484 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: Gate one. Where you need to go is Gate one, 485 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 1: and so I was all right. 486 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 3: But anyways, it's just a fun a fun day to 487 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 3: go to the They call it the court House Square 488 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 3: is what it's called. 489 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: Originally.

We 605 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 3: try to do this every single episode. 606 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: The idiom of the week. That's right, the Midium oh week. 607 00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 3: Danny jim Ranio is doing the production and he'll be 608 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 3: in tomorrow. Yes, he'll be back with me for these 609 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 3: Saturday and Sunday podcasts. So the idiom oh a week? 610 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 3: Here it is jump on the bandwagon. Now we have 611 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 3: heard this, I have. I assume you have. You're in 612 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 3: the same world I'm in. We're in different parts of 613 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 3: the universe, but I assume we all have heard this. 614 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 3: Possibly use it. 615 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: Hey, jump on the bandwag. You know team's doing well 616 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: in sport. You're jumping on the bandwagon here you are? Well? 617 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 3: Did you know that the bandwagon term is a fusion idiom. 618 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 3: It combines both politics and the circus. Say what back 619 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 3: in a different age before social media, before the Internet, 620 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 3: before television, before radio, A. 621 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: Time in the Stone Age? Man? Was it a time 622 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 1: in the Stone Age? 623 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 3: So eighteen forty eight the first time the phrase jump 624 00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 3: on the bandwagon was used, at least in print, was when. 625 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: A clown named Dan Rice. Oh so nice. His name 626 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: is Dan Rice. 627 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 3: So this famous clown named Dan Rice, and he would 628 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 3: use his circus bandwagon to transport politicians around town while 629 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 3: the music from the circus bandwagon would attract the public, 630 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 3: and there would be campaign speeches were given and all 631 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 3: this stuff. So this originates in the nineteenth century. It 632 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 3: was the circus bandwagon, literally carrying a band to get 633 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 3: the attention during political rallies. And essentially it obviously means 634 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,959 Speaker 3: you're jumping on a movement. And so what would happen 635 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 3: Because people love music, they would flock to hear the 636 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 3: circus band play, and not that they really cared that 637 00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 3: much about the politics, but they would follow the crowd 638 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 3: because you know, someone you know just supporting something solely 639 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 3: because it was popular, which is what happens all the time. 640 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 1: Right You ask anyone who's in the political world and 641 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,719 Speaker 1: they will tell you ninety nine. 642 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 3: Percent of the time, the person that wins an election 643 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 3: is the person that has the most money to promote themselves. 644 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 3: I think ninety nine percent of them. Every once in 645 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 3: a while there's someone that ends up winning who doesn't 646 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 3: have the most money. But that's rare and appropriate, right 647 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 3: that is, you know, man bites dog. It's rare and 648 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 3: it doesn't happen all that off and all stuff. So 649 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,280 Speaker 3: jump on the bandwagon. A great tribute to a famous 650 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 3: clown from the eighteen hundreds named Dan Rice, who used 651 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 3: to drive around his circus bandwagon with a literal circus 652 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 3: band to get the attention to people to show up 653 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 3: to hear some hack politician sing and dance and promise 654 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:56,760 Speaker 3: them the world. 655 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 1: So you would get on. 656 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,359 Speaker 3: The bandwagon and and then people would maybe not care 657 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 3: that much, but they wanted to hear the music, and 658 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 3: so they wanted to be part of the in crowd, 659 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 3: so they'd be out there to support the candidate. 660 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: And that is the idiom of the week. 661 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:19,360 Speaker 3: All right, Well, some more pod fun on Saturday and Sunday. 662 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:23,320 Speaker 3: I have a wonderful final weekend before Christmas and Hanukkah 663 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 3: tis the season of giving, ho ho ho and all that.
