But the malor Polooza post game, 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.399 we paid big money for this, Danny g. We have 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:37.360 the exclusive post game from the most important night of 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:41.640 overnight sports radio during the month of July, the malor 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:47.360 Poloosa Never Heard of Them, which was a stunning show. 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:50.120 We'll go over all the details. Nobody else has this 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.640 content that you're about to hear. You will not hear 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.920 this on anyone else. ESPN wishes they had at CBS, NBC, 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.880 but only here on the fifth hour we hear that 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:04.320 we have a bit of diplomacy the phrase of the week, 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:09.000 and we will get side typical. We can get scientifical 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:13.480 as well. But we begin with what was a magical, 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:20.560 magical night, a festival of audio goodness, as we welcomed 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:25.040 the great Unwashed. And I've said for many years we've 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.720 done this talent show we called the Malard Palooza. Now 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:29.400 we've done it for a long time, and I've always 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.080 pointed out a listen, a lot of people that are 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.560 kind of hidden that are up late because they can't 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:39.760 sleep or they're working or whatever brings them to the 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:44.000 to the radio show. And these people need to be 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:47.400 celebrated because they got talent. And that's not puffery and 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:50.320 all that we've heard it. We've heard it over the years. 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.640 We've we've had people that have been very good. And 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:56.120 so this is the one night of the year where 0:02:56.120 --> 0:03:01.639 we wax poetic and allow allow well regular peoples call 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:05.760 a show to do their thing. And this year we 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:07.920 had a bunch of acts. I was a little concerned 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:11.240 though if you listened to the show, we had some 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:14.400 confusion about the actual date. Cooper Loop was away the 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:17.640 week before, so we had a couple of dates we 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.840 were looking at. I was very worried it wasn't gonna 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:24.920 work out because when we went on the air on 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:29.440 Sunday night in the Monday, we only had two acts. 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:33.120 That's not enough acts. You need more than to act. 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.160 So there was a bit of panic at the Audio 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.480 dojo as we were we were trying to figure out, like, 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:40.880 are we gonna get enough people to do this? Has 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.960 this kind of played out? You know, you're always worried 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:45.760 about that because we only do it once a year. 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:49.920 And the greatest one of these things we ever did was, 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.360 and I can be effusive in my praise because it 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:57.800 was amazing, was during COVID because nobody had anything to do, 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.240 and nobody had and if you have jobs, nobody was working. 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.560 People were just sitting around and board out of their mind, 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:08.760 pulling their hair out. 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:12.559 The vaccine gave people superpowers. 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:17.880 Yes, yes, clearly outstanding abilities, uh to do all kinds 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:21.680 of things. And so that was a very impressive, very 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:25.720 impressive Malard Palooza. And we've done it every year since. 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:27.920 We take one night usually around the All Star week 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:31.800 in baseball, because that is the primo spot on the 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:35.920 calendar to do something like this, and we let it, 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.359 let it flow, and it was it was great. We 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.440 ended up having a ton of acts. In fact, we 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.400 actually didn't even have time, as it turned out, for 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:46.279 everyone that wanted to be part of it. We ran 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:52.960 out of slots. And here's how it went. On the acts. 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:59.200 We started with Matt, who began the festivities from from Nashville. Now, 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:03.760 Matt had a very very unique act on the show, 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:07.720 and it was controversial because Eddie did not appreciate the 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:11.520 gift that this man had and Cooper Loop and the 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:13.920 you know, Chris was in that night running the board. 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:18.720 And these guys did not quite grasp the magic that 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:22.360 we were listening to now was not a perfect performance. 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:27.520 But this cat Matt who ended up in the top four, 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:32.520 he did the nose trumpet. He sounded like he was 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:36.880 playing the trumpet with his nose. What an amazing gift, 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:39.520 What a gift. And we were lucky to hear that. 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.120 We had Mitchell called in. We had a couple guys 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:47.760 named Mitchell. Mitchell at Ohio. We had Pam. Now this 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:50.000 is an interesting story, Danny. So Pam called us up 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:54.240 from Seattle. She's never called the show before. And she 0:05:54.400 --> 0:06:00.279 played the viola, not the violin, No no, no old, 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.240 and she let me tell you something. All right, I'm 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.719 gonna go Mary Poppins. I'm gonna go Mary pop ups 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:09.680 on hers. She was super califragilistic, xbiali dosies. She was amazing. 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:14.800 It was superb and we were like show. She played 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:16.880 the baseball like kind of sound you'd hear at the 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:20.559 the organ the baseball game. Obviously it was not an organ, 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:23.600 but that song you hear at baseball games to fire 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:24.560 up the crowd. 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:26.520 Yeah, it was cool. 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:30.400 We had Chris Do I think, oh Chris, Oh Mitchell, 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:32.280 I think I go out to the original Mitchell was 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:35.200 I think the guitar guy. And then Chris and some 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.080 of the guys were offended because he played the guitar 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.040 and he just did it on his phone. We had 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:43.000 a guy named Chris who did comedy, no key card guy. 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:47.720 We had the Boston Burper. That's a big time act, 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:53.680 the Boston Burper. This guy burped the entire mallord oath. Yeah, 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:57.039 and and people said, I got some criticism, Danny because 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.760 people said I overrated. I built up this guy two 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:03.919 months and I think I undervalued the Boston Burper. That 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:07.720 is a superpower. That is more of a superpower than 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.200 iron Man has. Iron Man just wears a suit. This 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:15.400 guy has the god given ability to burp on command. 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:22.920 And that was superior. It was just awesome. So Boston Burper. 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:26.320 We had Kathy and Madison. She submitted an act. We 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:31.680 love Kathy. Michael was in this Dick and Dayton without 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.680 any musical instrument. The Dixter got up there and did 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.560 his thing. Part of the Mallard Paloosa. 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:39.080 Did he go acapella? 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:44.240 You know the thing that Dick does, and he's got 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.960 this technique despite the fact that he's in multiple bands. 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.920 It's fascinating because he will start out singing the song 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:55.600 perfectly and then at some point, and we're not sure why, 0:07:56.600 --> 0:08:03.120 he just starts mumbling. He mumbles some of the lyrics 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:08.440 and it's fascinating. And I'm pretty confident Danny that Dick 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.280 and Dayton has not heard any of the podcasts that 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:15.320 we do. Dick is old school. He is terrestrial radio. 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:19.400 I imagine he has like a one that takes like 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:23.360 three double A batteries. He's such an anomaly, like he's 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.080 stuck back in time and I love him, but I'm 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:30.800 almost positive he's never heard the podcast because that would 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:33.320 be a departure from what he knows, right, and he's 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.000 nobody wants to leave their comfort zone and all that, 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.599 so he pretty much bear hugs. 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:43.679 The radio. Oh, he's definitely a transistor radio boy. 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:48.800 Yeah. Yeah, and AM radio, not FM radio. Am radio 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:52.560 because that's what was the first radio, is am radio, 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.320 and then the FM came and now it's all streaming 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:58.720 and digital and all that. But I'm guessing the dixter 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:02.760 bumps heads with the FM dial because there's a lot 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.560 of musical He's a sports guy. Although many sports stations 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:08.160 around the country, not in LA, but many sports stations 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:14.240 are now on FM and all on the stream and 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:15.640 and all that. So we had Dick and Dayton. Who 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.439 else did we have? We had Ohio Al, the man 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:22.120 from this podcast who's done so so many wonderful things 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:26.000 for this podcast, and he really packed a wallap ohio 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:31.480 Al a wonderful tune about the show. He made references 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:34.360 to so many great callers on the show. That was 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.120 a lot of fun. We had Mitchell in Ohio who 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:37.320 tried stand up comedy. 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:39.760 I'm sure that went well. 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.400 Yeah, I did not go well. Michael also, I believe 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:45.240 did stand up come He was I think Pennsylvania want 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.400 to say, I'm trying to remember at the time I had, 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:51.079 but he was. He was pretty good. It's very difficult 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:55.840 to do stand up comedy. It's very hard because you 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:59.920 have no we don't react, and you have nobody, you know, 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.480 nobody that's really playing along with you. We ow no 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:06.520 key card guy. I think he did the malor battle 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:09.920 cry like a like a boot camp you know in 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:12.600 boot camp when you're marching, you know those military movies 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:16.319 where you yeah, you have to chant. He did that. 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:19.319 That was good. Mitchell and Ohios he said he did comedy. 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:22.160 That was a disaster. Marcel and Brooklyn closed it out 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:28.120 the Mallard Palooza and Marcel really nailed it. He absolutely 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:32.959 nailed it there. Marcell was awesome. What yeah, Marcell was great. 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.000 I don't know, he just started singing. You know, he's 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:35.679 doing his thing. 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:38.240 This isn't that the number one station anymore? 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:38.600 Is It's? 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:41.959 It was good. I thought that was good. 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.920 So the winner of the vote, the studio vote, those 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:46.800 of us that were judges, we had Jay Scoop and 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:52.440 more on that in a minute. The studio vote, the 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:56.360 top three on the studio vote we had Ohio. Al 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.920 came in in third place, so he got the bronze medal. 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:05.480 The silver medal went to Pam from Seattle to Viola, 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:10.400 And the winner of the studio vote was the Boston Burper. 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.320 He did not get a perfect score. Did not get 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:16.240 a perfect score, but the Boston Burper got a forty 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:21.160 seven and a half out of a possible fifty. That's 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:22.600 pretty damn good. 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:24.840 Yeah, I don't know. 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:29.080 This sounds like the scoring of the Slam dunk competition. 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:33.360 Yeah no, no, no, no, no, this was this one 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:37.880 not now. There were some shenanigans with Chris totally screwed 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:41.480 over Marcel because Marcell doesn't know who Chris is, and 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.760 so Chris was offended by that and docked him, gave him, 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:49.880 I believe a zero on that. So that was that 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.360 was ourwas so and we had the vote of the public. 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:54.640 You know what, who won that based on the Twitter 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:58.160 And we had the top four up there, and Marcel 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:00.559 would have been in the top four if he had 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.280 not gotten is there He needed a two. If he'd 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:06.080 gotten a two from Chris, he would have been there. 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:10.040 And then as a surprise, Danny, the day after the 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:15.400 mal Or palooza, Blair in Maine called up and he 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.960 was all upset, right, he was. He was a glass 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:23.120 house of emotion. He was bouncing around. And there was 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.600 a bit of controversy in the show, a little bit 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:30.280 of a hullabaloo because Blair said I'm not I'm not 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:35.360 worried about Marcel while going on a rant making a 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:41.800 commotion about Marcel. So they continue their great rivalry as 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:45.240 that goes on. Those two guys, Boy, what a kerfluffle 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:48.360 they have had a side by side on this, so 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:51.320 that was that was interesting. We had random We had 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.440 some people who stand up. Tony from the Bay Area 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:58.400 just did stand up. These are not professionalis and inca terror. 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:01.320 I love n because he was not the judge this year. 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:04.439 Jay Scoop was, but Inka Tereara's like, it's a lot 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:07.640 easier to do the talent show when you're not actually 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:11.920 being judged, which is a fair point. These guys just 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:14.120 called up. They kept doing acts. We had some scratch 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:18.760 off sing a little bit. It was interesting. It was 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:22.280 like a trying to grab power, trying to take over 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:25.480 the airwaves the day after. 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:29.440 So definitely have the most talented listeners in all of radio. 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:33.040 Well you can't compete with a burper, a nose trumpet. 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:37.760 I mean, we had legitimate music from Pam and Seattle. 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:40.360 So it was a magical night all the way around 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.280 and thanks to everyone that participated. We'll do it again 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:48.240 next year, same time, same batstation. Hopefully if you missed 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:50.360 out this year, you can do something next year. But 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:52.600 I've learned over the years most people do not plan 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.120 for months for this. Some people do, but most people 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.679 just if they happen to be listening and they have something, 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:02.599 they'll just go for it. We had multiple big names 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:06.040 in studio this week, Danny, we had listeners. Now that 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.840 COVID's long gone, we're able to have people back in 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:14.040 the audio dojo. And it started out with Rod, the 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:18.840 ambassador of Bakersfield, who you've met. Yeah, Rod's good people. 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.000 He blessed us with an appearance. He and his lovely 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.320 wife drove down from Baker's Field, which is about one 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:27.040 hundred miles as the crow flies from. 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.080 His drunk friend wasn't with him this time. 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.800 No, no, I did bust his chops about that. Yeah, Yeah, 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.480 he did bust his chops about that. Yeah. He famously 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:37.360 drove down with this drunk dude and we had We 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:39.200 had to get Rod to the lead because we were 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.200 worried the guy was going to break stuff. 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:43.800 Not good. 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.000 So I caught up with Rob. We had outseeen Rod. 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:49.400 Rod had some little medical maladies, not little, they were 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:52.600 kind of big, and he explained everything. But he's back, 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:54.920 he's working, he's doing his thing. Life's back to normal, 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.920 which is wild considering how sick Rod was. And then 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:02.560 later in the week had jayscoop on the malor palooza. I, 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:06.120 as we mentioned, we changed it up. Inca Terror has 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:09.120 been the judge for years from New York, the classically 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:14.440 trained pianist from New York, well not originally from New York, 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:17.600 but living there in upstate New York, and he's been 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:20.600 part of the pianist Well, well, you know whatever, I 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:22.320 don't I don't tell you call it. Is that what 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.680 you call it? What you call it? Right? Yeah? 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:28.960 Thing? Yeah, he said, pianist, I said, pianist. 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:32.840 Yeah. Well, you know you're FCC. 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:33.840 Is going to shut us down either way. 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.119 I don't have to worry about that. I think we're good. Yeah, 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:39.840 So Jay Scoop filled in stepped in this year. Jayscoop 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:44.800 gave me the gift of Ukrainian money. I have never 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:49.360 touched Ukrainian money. I now own two hundred dollars or 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:53.360 whatever they call their money there in Ukraine, a gift 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:57.240 of Jay Scoop. We figured out that two hundred dollars 0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:02.240 in Ukrainian money is worth five dollars in US money. 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:05.440 So you'll be a baller if you go to the Ukraine. 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:09.560 Of course, you'll also have to deal with missiles coming 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.400 over your head and landing on you. Speaking of that, 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:18.280 Jayscoop is going back to the Ukraine on the day 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:22.160 of the MLB trade deadline August. First. He's gonna do planes, trains, 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:25.480 and automobiles. There are no direct flights to Ukraine because 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:28.920 there's a war going on, so the airlines don't want 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:32.720 to fly into a war zone, and so Jayscoop's got 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:38.120 to go into that demilitarized zone. And he explained kind 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:41.160 of how he gets there, Danny, but he'll he'll fly 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:44.960 to a country near the Ukraine. He'll then take a 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:48.880 train and then finally I think he will take a 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:54.080 car to cross over into that country. And he said 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:56.520 that most of the time he's planning on being in Kiev, 0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:59.360 which is the big city there, or Kiev, I guess 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:02.680 they call it now now. But he would not go 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:05.920 into a lot of details. He's not fighting for Ukraine, 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:11.280 but he is running missions, you know, bringing supplies out 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:14.920 to the to the military people that are fighting the Russians. 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:17.040 So we wish Jay Scoop a lot of fun. It 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.520 was great to meet him in Big Lou or not Meat, 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:21.600 I already met him, but Big Lou from the LBC. 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:25.560 What can Lou do for you? Big Lou stop by. 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:28.480 That was pretty cool to catch up with Big Lou. 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:30.680 Well did he bring fat cells? 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.720 Yeah, but I'm upset with Cooper Loop. Let me tell 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:37.760 you something. Okay, So, as you know, I'm doing this 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:40.719 intermittent fasting, so I don't eat. I eat once a day. 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:42.480 I try not to eat at night, you know whatever. 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:47.000 So listeners come by, and there's been a tradition with 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:48.800 the people that show up that if you come by, 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:54.200 you got to bring bring some right, usually food, pretty easy, 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:57.240 that's the price to get in if you want to 0:17:57.240 --> 0:18:02.359 see the radio station and on it. So Rod brought 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.359 fat cells and Coop asked if I wanted fat seals, 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:07.480 and I said no, that's very very nice of Rod, 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:09.760 the Ambassador Vegas Field. But I'm doing my diet. I'm okay. 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:13.480 So then Big Lou came in like a couple nights later. 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:16.679 I was like, hey, Big Louz, I got food and 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:19.960 all that. I got some food. Coop didn't even ask, 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:24.520 he just assumed that I did not want fat cells. Hey, 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:30.160 it's not right. That's that is a faux pas by 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:34.040 the Kooper Loop. So you know, I tried to use 0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:36.359 some diplomacy and all that I tried to be polite 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:38.159 and I was like, you know, listen, here's you know, 0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:42.000 here's the deal. But even though I'm doing this ridiculous, 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:45.760 fugazy diet, I want Coop to be a mensch, and 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:47.800 a mensch was like, hey, do you want a sandwich? 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:50.760 Because maybe I would fall off the wagon. Maybe I 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:53.280 would say, Okay, I'll take that sandwich because I love 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:56.399 the fat cell sandwich. I'll eat the sandwich. I'll be 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:59.200 happy with the sandwich, and then i'll fast after the sandwich. 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:02.960 But I was not given that opportunity, so that that 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:06.639 rubbed me the wrong way. The phrase of the week 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:09.280 the phrase, oh wait, this is an actual phrase. We 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:12.040 tell you about the origin of the phrase that is 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:14.919 in the lexicon. And the phrase of the week this 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:20.560 week is butter him up. You ever talk a version 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:22.840 of that, I'm gonna butter that person up. 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:25.560 You know, like you go into it, You're gonna the wheel. 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:28.160 Exactly, You're go into it. You're trying to flatter someone, right, 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:30.560 That's how you'd say, you butter them up. You're gonna 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:31.760 butter their popcorn. 0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:32.119 Whatever. 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:35.560 So I use this from time to time. I think 0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:38.080 most people do. They're trying to get a job, you're 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:41.160 trying to win a you know, date and all that. 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:43.119 You know, you know, try to butter the other person up. 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:47.200 And so this actually goes back this fascinating the term 0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:50.639 butter him up or butter her up goes back to 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:55.280 ancient India. Who knew, as Vic the Brick would say, 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:58.439 So it goes back to ancient India. There's a a 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:03.280 customary re religious act in ancient India, and here's what 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:09.720 it involves. So devotees would try to I was the 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:13.760 way I'm sure they would ask for forgiveness or ask 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:17.600 for a favor from their gods. The gods were statues. 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:20.240 They had statues the gods. The gods aren't actually there 0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:22.760 because they just had the statue. So they would throw 0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:27.960 balls of butter at the statues of their gods in 0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:31.439 ancient India. And that was meant as a way to 0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:35.679 ask the gods for forgiveness if they fucked up excuse 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:39.640 my language, excuse my French, or asked for a favor 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:45.680 if they needed something. So it's throwing actual butter at 0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:51.040 statues of ancient gods. You think they still do that 0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:51.880 in India. 0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:57.000 I don't know. But butter makes everything better. 0:20:58.359 --> 0:20:59.920 When in doubt, throw butter out. 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:01.600 That's the one. I mean. 0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:05.680 You think about the best restaurants we like, and it's 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:08.120 because they butter everything up. 0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:11.760 Yeah, Butter's wonderful. You can butter your biscuits, you can 0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:13.080 butter your you know anything. 0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:13.800 Yeah, you know. 0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:17.520 I make pizza, garlic twists. You can put little butter 0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:21.679 on that. It just the flavor. I'm baking cookies all 0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:23.520 the time. Obviously butter a big part of that. But 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:26.159 you can't go wrong with the butter. You cannot go 0:21:26.240 --> 0:21:30.159 wrong with butter. Time Now for a brief, brief trip 0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:37.400 into the scientifical world, and that means our guy Ohio 0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:57.880 au silence. So these are some science stories that we've 0:21:57.920 --> 0:22:01.280 uncovered from the week, and we determined in honor of 0:22:01.280 --> 0:22:03.200 that old show I used to love it, Penn and Teller, 0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:05.800 these old comedians did a TV show and it was 0:22:06.680 --> 0:22:08.520 bullshit was the name of the show. You had to 0:22:08.560 --> 0:22:11.520 figure out what is real and what is you know 0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:17.240 bs and here we go. So can you hear it? 0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:23.520 Scientists have proven that people can hear silence for the 0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:27.320 first time, you have a sound of silence and all that. Yeah, 0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:34.200 a new study found that our brains actively process silence itself, 0:22:36.160 --> 0:22:40.960 and people also thought one continuous silence was longer than 0:22:40.960 --> 0:22:48.000 two separate ones. So somewhere that old Simon and Garfuckle 0:22:49.720 --> 0:22:54.040 tune right, that's back back in the front burner now. 0:22:54.720 --> 0:22:59.960 So I have a pair of wireless that have noise canceling, 0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:03.720 and when I turn that sucker up to ten, it's 0:23:03.720 --> 0:23:06.000 a beautiful sound of nothing. 0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:09.879 Yeah, I do like going in. One thing I like 0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:15.320 about going into the radio station is not the long drive, 0:23:16.040 --> 0:23:20.119 not the burning of gas, none of that. Not the 0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:22.280 vagrants that I have to walk past to get to 0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:25.840 the building in La none of that. But when I 0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:27.440 come in there, I usually get there about an hour 0:23:27.440 --> 0:23:28.840 before the show, so I can kind of do some 0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:31.840 last minute things because there's games going on. And I'll 0:23:31.880 --> 0:23:34.560 go into the old studio and it is so quiet 0:23:34.600 --> 0:23:38.639 in there. There's no noise, and I love it. I 0:23:38.680 --> 0:23:41.240 absolutely love it. It's so good. I can just sit 0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:45.960 in there and I can concentrate. There's nothing messing with 0:23:46.040 --> 0:23:48.199
