00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 3: How cool is that.

29
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 4: I've had situations I'm not sure if you ever have

30
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 4: in your radio career where you didn't get to say

31
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 4: goodbye to your audience. You just disappeared. It was almost

32
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 4: like you were there one day and gone the next

33
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 4: and back. When this happened to me, there was no

34
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 4: Twitter or anything like that. I couldn't send out a

35
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 4: message to the masses saying thank you so much and

36
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 4: I enjoyed my time and you know, I appreciate you

37
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 4: listening and all that. That's what radio hosts do nowadays.

38
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 4: When I couldn't do that, I saw some listeners later

39
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 4: down the line and they were pissed at me. They

40
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 4: were like, how can you just leave like that? You'dn't

41
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 4: even say goodbye or anything. And I'm like, well, you

42
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 4: don't understand how broadcasting works. They come and give you

43
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 4: your pink slip right after your show is over.

44
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 3: Usually.

45
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. I remember when I was younger and I skipped

46
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: school and I watched the History Channel and they had

47
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: a documentary about Joseph Stalin and how he would make

48
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: people disappear where they would be there one day, they

49
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 1: would go to work and then they would never come home.

50
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: And not only would they never come home, he would

51
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: like erase all the back in those days, the books

52
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: with their names in them, the picture all disappear, like everything,

53
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: any trace of the people would go away. And it's

54
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: a similar concept in the radio business, which is fascinating

55
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: how they decided that is the way to go. But

56
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: I was told by a program director that the reason

57
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: we do that is to protect the license because if

58
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: we put somebody on the air that and we say, oh,

59
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: I get a final show, they are going to destroy

60
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: us and they are going to tear down the radio

61
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: station and they're gonna steal stuff, and you know all that.

62
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 3: They were so paranoid, I know. And that's the thing

63
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 3: is that there is no way in hell.

64
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 4: After seven years at the radio station I helped build

65
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 4: to number one, there's no way that I would go

66
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 4: in there at a steal something and b say something

67
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 4: bad on the air, because you know in broadcasting that

68
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 4: burning bridges is a no no, a big time no no,

69
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 4: because you're gonna somewhere along the way work with those

70
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 4: people again, somewhere down the road. Radio is a small community,

71
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 4: and you're gonna see one or two of those folks

72
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 4: sometime again in the future. And even as a youngster

73
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 4: in radio, I knew that, So there was no way

74
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 4: I would do any I wasn't gonna pull any shenanigans.

75
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 4: I just wanted to have a fun final show and

76
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 4: say goodbye to the morning show listeners. Instead, like you said,

77
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 4: they even erased my voice off of the commercials and

78
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 4: suddenly you're Mia. You're on a milk carton immediately.

79
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's all the media, Like I remember when

80
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson got let go from Fox News, like he

81
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: was like their number one guy, and they obviously they

82
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: got rid of him, I guess on a Friday and

83
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: immediately like any trace completely. So it was great to

84
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: have Roberto on a retrospective on Roberto leaving the show.

85
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: He's actually the guy that replaced you, Danny, when you

86
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: went to the morning show. Yes, Roberto stepped in for you,

87
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: and I hope you heard the chat. Roberto been a

88
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: key part of the show the last five years, almost

89
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: five years, I think it's just a little short of

90
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: five years, and he's the guy that played the drops

91
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: most of the drops. Eddie plays some, but most of

92
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: the jobs come from Roberto. But change is part of

93
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: the business. And as we've been through a lot of

94
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: different people over the years, both of us in our

95
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: different travels, our roads and radio and any job. But

96
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: I feel like radio is more of like a Greyhound

97
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: bus station. And I was going through my head. I

98
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: was driving in and I was thinking about all the

99
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: different board ops and producers that I've worked with since

100
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: I started at Fox Sports Radio back in like two thousand.

101
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 3: That must have been a long drive.

102
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'm like, well, that guy became a team

103
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: this guy's a baker, that guy's an insurance salesman. I

104
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: don't know what happened to that guy. He moved back

105
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,679
Speaker 1: to Boston. I don't know what happened to that guy.

106
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: Then the other guy, the last I heard, he was

107
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: in rehab. Then there's the guy that I used to

108
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: work with who's a real estate mogul. And then there's

109
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,679
Speaker 1: another guy who's like a program director at a radio station.

110
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: But I don't really talk to him, but I used

111
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: to be close to him. And you name it, someone

112
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: formally has passed through the building who is now doing

113
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: something totally efferent. Some of them are still working in radio.

114
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: But people, that's the old thing. People will come and

115
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: go in your lives all the time, and it's radio

116
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: is a transient business. And what's the old thing. It's

117
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: not your fault. It's the universe just making room for

118
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: new people, I think, is Yeah.

119
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 4: And when we came up in broadcasting, we were told,

120
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 4: if you're able to stay at any call letters for

121
00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 4: three years, that's an accomplishment because usually something happened in

122
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 4: three years, whether it's a lineup change, a programming change.

123
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 4: And for me, at that station I mentioned, which I

124
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 4: helped build for seven years, it was a management change

125
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 4: and it was a guy from across town who had

126
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 4: run the AC station in our market. And when he

127
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 4: got over to our station, he called a big staff

128
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 4: meeting and he proclaimed, why.

129
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 3: Would I change anything?

130
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 4: You guys are number one. And right after that meeting

131
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 4: I told my assistant program director.

132
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 3: I was like, you know what that means, right, He's

133
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 3: going to change everything?

134
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: Of course?

135
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah.

136
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: I had I had a boss this really before I

137
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: got the Fox. I had a guy at one of

138
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: the stations I worked at that was like this really

139
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: slick sales guy. He wore the power suits, you know,

140
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: the purple jacket. One day had the bright red jacket,

141
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: the next had the power blue jacket.

142
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 3: You know.

143
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: He's a and he was like into the whole Tony

144
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: Robbins thing. And we were in a labor negotiation because

145
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: it was a union shop, and we were in a

146
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: labor negotiation and the guy they turned this what had

147
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: been an f It had been a music station and

148
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: they had a contract where it was like a union contract.

149
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: They flipped it the sports. Well, the sports station had

150
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: no audience. When you start a new station, new format,

151
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: there's no one listening. It takes a while to build

152
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: an audience. And so they had to pay us ridiculous

153
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: money that they had been paying the DJs that had

154
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: been at the radio station. And they were trying to

155
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: negotiate a lower pay because they're like, well, no one's listening.

156
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: Pay these guys that kind of money. And this boss

157
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 1: came into the meeting and he violated every labor law

158
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: on maagement. This is a long time ago. The statute

159
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: of limitations has run out. But he said, if you guys,

160
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: do not take this deal. I will system I don't

161
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: think he's used systematic, but I will take every one

162
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: of you away and I will flip on. At that time,

163
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: it was sports fan Radio, which was the network out

164
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: of Vegas, and I will I will just put that

165
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: on and I'll have the same number of people listening

166
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: and I'll save all this man. It was like he

167
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: violated every possible law you can do, and then he

168
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: didn't even end up doing anything. He just ended up

169
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: paying us and then and so it was a complete

170
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: waste of time. But you know, it's listen, things things happen.

171
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: I love Roberto, I'm gonna miss him, and uh, it's

172
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: one of these things. I mean, you you get used

173
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,599
Speaker 1: to people and then you got to get use to

174
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: new people.

175
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 4: And yeah, and my point was that not only do

176
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 4: we wish him well, and he's been a raider friend

177
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 4: this whole time. In fact, on Sundays he's the one

178
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 4: guy I know that's gonna text my phone with some

179
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 4: filthy language because he's down to few and he's like

180
00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 4: fucking Derek Carr. I can't believe fucking Derek Carr. Yeah,

181
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 4: I'm like the lifeline. I'm like the guy that has

182
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 4: to save him from drowning and his alcohol. And I'm

183
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 4: like Roberto, it's all right, it's the third corner. We

184
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 4: have time to come back. I'm the positive one.

185
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I recall telling Roberto I think in the

186
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: podcast we were talking about, you know that I'll still

187
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 1: text him whenever the Dodgers screw up Dave Roberts makes

188
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: the wrong pitching change or micro manages the front you know,

189
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: the front office micro manages and they you know, this

190
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: guy's only he's pitching a shutout, but he's thrown seventy

191
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: eight pitches, so we have to take him out of

192
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: the game because his arm will fall off on seventy nine.

193
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: And this week we go back and forth on that.

194
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: So I'm sure, especially when the playoffs come around for

195
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, I will be texting Roberto quite a bit.

196
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: And you know it's it's people have been emailing me.

197
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: I told Roberto this as people have been asking me

198
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: what happened. You know, he told the story from his

199
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 1: point of view, and I think it really is more

200
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: of a it's a money thing, but it's a schedule

201
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: of thing. And I think if the money was the

202
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: same and he had daytime hours. I think you'd be fine,

203
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: but people that all work overnight, you have no idea

204
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: how difficult it is. It seems like you'd get used

205
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: to it, but and I'm pretty used to it, but

206
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: some people just go crazy and it's just not good

207
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: and it creates Yeah, a lot of the issues are

208
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: not necessarily with yourself.

209
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 3: It's with your family family.

210
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 4: I was just going to say that no one really

211
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 4: realizes until you're in it and you're trying to do it,

212
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 4: that your family expects you to flip your schedule around

213
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 4: immediately every weekend, and you do your best, so you

214
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 4: pretend like it's not bothering you, but you kind of

215
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 4: feel like a zombie and everybody else is, you know,

216
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 4: laughing and having a good time on the weekend, and

217
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 4: it's just a weird feeling because you want to do

218
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 4: it and you're trying your best, but it sucks, man,

219
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 4: because your sleeping clock is completely twisted around.

220
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: It's very rude of society, Like you can't go to

221
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: a bank four in the morning. If you do, you're

222
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: robbing it. You can't, I mean, you can't see as

223
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: someone at the bank. You can't get a doctor's appointment

224
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: at that time unless you're in the emergency room and

225
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: then you've got to wait for seventeen hours and all that. Like,

226
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: it's not designed. Society's not designed for people that work overnight.

227
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: But I mean there are restaurants open, there's obviously people working.

228
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people working.

229
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 4: The third shift in the first shift is the backbone

230
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 4: of our country.

231
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's like it's people stocking shelves and

232
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 1: driving trucks and putting food out and cooking food and

233
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: all that stuff. So some of the things, you know,

234
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: we've obviously talked for a while here, but some of

235
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: the things we've got to get to. We have Ben

236
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: and Ben mister Miagi and the Word of the Week,

237
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: and we'll see if we get to anything else. We

238
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 1: might have to say pop culture and that other stuff

239
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: for the Sunday podcast, but we'll start with this. So

240
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: this past weekend, the Malord Mansion turned into a bend

241
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: and breakfast. That's a bed and breakfast. It turned into

242
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: my wife invited a childhood girlfriend of hers, her husband

243
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: and their toddler to stop by from they live in Oregon,

244
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: just outside Portland, Oregon, and they stopped by for a

245
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: very long visit. They came on a Thursday early in

246
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: the day and then they they left on Sunday, so

247
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: the mallord bed and breakfast. Now I did not know this, Danny,

248
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: this was unexpected. I knew they were coming, but they

249
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: didn't know all the details. My wife kind of gave

250
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: me some of the details and not all of them.

251
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: I pretty much keep to myself. I talk a lot.

252
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: We both talk a lot for our jobs. So on

253
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: the weekends I shut her down. I go to second year.

254
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: You know, stay in your lane. I don't make waves.

255
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: But the one one thing that's very important to me

256
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: is my domain, my my ecosystem, my world. I need.

257
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: I need that unsullied. I need that untouched. That's my

258
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: my domain, right, that's my spot. And I don't want,

259
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: you know, somebody coming over for a couple hours for visit.

260
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: I have no problem with that. I think that's great.

261
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: I have family, We have family over all the time.

262
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: But you start staying there and I mean, I'm trying

263
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: to play nice and all that stuff, but I'm like,

264
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: there's too many rogue actors running across the Serengetti, and

265
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: I don't know whether they're going to try to eat

266
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: me or anything like that. And so but anyway, I

267
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: was fine. So I was okay. The first couple of days.

268
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: I even went into the Mothership on a day that

269
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: I normally don't go in so they could sleep and

270
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: not hear me barking about some NFL scandal or the

271
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: NBA finals that my wife and this was all in

272
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: the brochure, but I didn't see the brochure. My wife

273
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: ife rolled out the what I call the VIP package

274
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: at the Mallard Bed and Breakfast, the club package, and

275
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: it included the all inclusive. She went shopping with them

276
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: and they picked out a few items at Costco, and

277
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: then when they were checking out, much to my wife's surprise,

278
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: she said, no one stepped up to buy said items.

279
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: So by I guess they just assumed it was part

280
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: of the y.

281
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 3: They at least water or grass for you.

282
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: So they well, we'll get to that. So we got

283
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: like seven pounds of pasta because their kid likes pasta.

284
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: Their kid, by the way, who just turned two. More

285
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: on that in a minute, so fine, whatever, you know,

286
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: there was pasta and a few other items. My wife

287
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: didn't realize she was purchasing for them. She thought when

288
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: they got to the teller they would buy the items.

289
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: But they didn't do that. And maybe I'm wrong on this, Danny.

290
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: And I'm going to ask you the listener. I'll ask you, Danny,

291
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: if you stay at someone's house, is it true that

292
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: you should buy your own stuff? Is that? Is that? Basically? Really?

293
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 3: Now, my grandfather got even a question that you need

294
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 3: to ask.

295
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: It's a bit of a rhetorical question my grandfather. There's

296
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: a Yiddish term hawser. My grandfather would say, but but

297
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: you know, find you maybe it was a rookie mistake

298
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: by them. So my wife then just this. I knew

299
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: about this, She said, you know, the kid's turning to

300
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: there's no one they're not They live in Oregon, they

301
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: don't live in California. There are a lot of that

302
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: are from California. So they have a lot of family

303
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: and friends. And they want to have a birthday party

304
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: for the two year old who will never remember anything

305
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: about this party at all.

306
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 4: So, you know, my wife, somebody else said this, I

307
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 4: completely agree. Birthday parties are kids that young. They're not

308
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 4: for the fricking kids. They're for the el to take pictures.

309
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: Yes, and that is about to become your world, Danny,

310
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: in August, possibly sooner. That is going to be your

311
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: new new normal. So get ready for that. Uh but

312
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: but anyway, so she said, my wife, she doesn't do

313
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: anything small. So she we're gonna have a we're gonna

314
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 1: have a party. We're gonna have a big party.

315
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 4: We're gonna get Oh so we're going to invite other

316
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 4: people to your house.

317
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the problem. So yeah, yeah, so not only

318
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: do we have three house guests, now we have a party.

319
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: I went out, I had to buy We bought a

320
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: couple of cakes. We bought one of those blow up

321
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: pools from Walmart for the kids, so we had a

322
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: pool for them. There are other kids there.

323
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 3: Like the Platinum package.

324
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is this is all out. So now, as

325
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: you said, Danny, there are more strangers that are now

326
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: in my house. Now I know some of these people

327
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: casually there there, and I like them. They're nice people.

328
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: But again, you know, it's more invasive and and all that.

329
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: And uh so then we got through that, and I

330
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: was so burned out I had to get away, Danny,

331
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: and my wife realizes I was about to lose my

332
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: lunch and I was gonna need the people on the

333
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: white coach to come get me for I was about

334
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: to I'm pretty calm, but when I blow up, it's

335
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: like a volcano. It's molten lava everywhere. I don't do

336
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: it very often, but when I blow up, I get

337
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: my money's worth. So she's like, we got to get

338
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: out of here. And so we went to the beach

339
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: and hung out, and then she realized that, you know,

340
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: she was like, well, maybe we should invite them to dinner.

341
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: And I'm like, are they gonna pay for dinner? You know,

342
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna pay for dinner, And she's, I don't know,

343
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: probably not. So then we just like we stayed out.

344
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: We went out to I wasn't planning on going out

345
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: to EA, so we went out to eat. So we

346
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,719
Speaker 1: went to the beach for like an hour and a half.

347
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: Then when and we were walking around trying to find

348
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: a place to eat, just to kill more time to

349
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: avoid coming back to the to the home. And so yeah,

350
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: it was quite quite the adventure. And and know they

351
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: didn't buy us one meal. I find like I've had

352
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: other people stay at the house and they've always at

353
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: least the common courtesy is on your way out. You

354
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: buy the host the meal.

355
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and.

356
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: They did, thank us. But it's you know, I said,

357
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: Ben and Ben because Benjamin Franklin Danny was right when

358
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: he famously said that guests are like fish. They begin

359
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: to smell after three days. I would argue they begin

360
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: to smell after about a day and a half, so

361
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: we might have to update that to a day and

362
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: a half. And that's about it. But if anybody wants

363
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: to stay at the Malor Mansion, the Malard bed and

364
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: breakfast all inclusive, you'll get you know, food at Costco

365
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: if you want, just put that in the cart. You know,

366
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: we'll pay for it.

367
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 3: Why not?

368
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: What the hell? And knock yourself? Knock yourself.

369
00:19:55,359 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 4: Well, you could have used some of mister Miyagi's breathing methods. Man,

370
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 4: I don't know how you got through that. I would

371
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 4: have been cursing by the second day.

372
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: Wow, wax on and wax off?

373
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, yeah, I remember when danielsun walked in on

374
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 4: him meditating.

375
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 3: That's what you needed to do.

376
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 4: Oh me, holy shit, I think this thing is going

377
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 4: to get July. I'm confused. Where are we in the

378
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 4: NBA schedule?

379
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: I don't even know, it's very rare. They usually it's

380
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: an odd schedule because they played on Friday, which is,

381
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 1: as you know, Danny, a bad television night because people

382
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: usually go out, although it's different now with on demand,

383
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 1: but the NBA's live programming, so they put it on

384
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: a Friday, and then there's no game on Sunday, which

385
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: is where they usually want to put the game because

386
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: there's travel, so they have to give him two days.

387
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: So the next NBA Finals game is on Monday. It's

388
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: very odd scheduling, scheduling Game three.

389
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 4: We were talking about it as a show on Cavino

390
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 4: and Rich that we hadn't gone to Buffalo Wild Wings

391
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 4: in a while. Every couple of months will go as

392
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 4: a show and we'll watch a exporting event there and

393
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 4: get some boneless nuggies. And we had a lot of fun,

394
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 4: but I had a party foul bit. Rich took a

395
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 4: picture saying, I can't wait to talk about this on

396
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 4: the show tomorrow.

397
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 5: Danny g for like twenty minutes, was trying to get

398
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 5: her attention, trying to get a coke right, excuse, excuse me,

399
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 5: let's let's years sitting register, you know, to her ears

400
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 5: because it's so low she was like, she was like.

401
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 4: The heat because she disappeared the entire third quarter. She

402
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 4: come on, hey, excuse me, excuse me.

403
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 5: Well, I'm sorry, I didn't hear you calling me for

404
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 5: the last twenty five minutes.

405
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 1: Got got another doctor pepper.

406
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 5: So so Danny g finally gets his soda and.

407
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: I don't even do you want to take it from here?

408
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: How spill it? Yeah? So I didn't know that Rich

409
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: ordered a dessert.

410
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 4: No, leave it to Rich, because when we were in

411
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 4: Vegas he did the same thing, and when he thought

412
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 4: that it was a comp meal, he got two desserts

413
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 4: for the table.

414
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: Rich, Yes, bring him on.

415
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 4: Then he found out his personal credit card was going

416
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 4: to be used, and he was like, can we send

417
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 4: one of these desserts back. So a dessert comes to

418
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 4: the table and very nicely, Rich started passing out forks

419
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 4: because they put it. She put it right in the

420
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 4: middle of the table. So I scooped back a little

421
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 4: bit to make some room because I'm like, yeah, dessert

422
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 4: a cheat night. As Rich passes me my fork, I

423
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 4: do a karate chop to get it, and my mister

424
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 4: Miaki trained karate chop hit the top of my PEPSI

425
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 4: cup spilled full cup, Thank goodness, not on any of you, guys.

426
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 4: But it kind of came down the tall tabletop like

427
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 4: a waterfall, got your phone on PEPSI waterfall on my

428
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 4: legs and my phone.

429
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 5: So now Danny G's calling the same waitress over hey, sorry, spillach,

430
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 5: I got a spileach right, And she's like, don't worry, guys.

431
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 5: And it was kind of embarrassing anytime it happens, and

432
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 5: I try to pick the heat up off. It is funny,

433
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 5: but like you feel like an ass, right, it's a

434
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 5: major party foul, it is, she said, to worry it

435
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 5: heavens once a day.

436
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: But it's usually a kid.

437
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,959
Speaker 5: It's usually a three year old, not a forty three

438
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 5: year old, you know, son, Yeah, kids probably get better

439
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 5: service around here.

440
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: Oh man, so that's a party foul.

441
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 5: It happened. We laughed about it. No big deal, no

442
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 5: big foul, no big crime. She cleaned it up. But

443
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 5: there's a more important question and it doesn't have to

444
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 5: do with spillage, and it was you know, I do

445
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 5: you do?

446
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 2: You know?

447
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 5: Wor's the worst part about it though, when she's there

448
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 5: mopping it up and you're just like, oh, you keep

449
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 5: mopping him. Yeah, not only did Danny have this spillage,

450
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 5: but she like busted out the mop and everything, and

451
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 5: then she put up that that uh piece of mojaveo

452
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 5: wet floor sign, this big giant like a big giant

453
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 5: sign on the floor.

454
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 3: That's great.

455
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 4: Now, I gotta give Rich and spot credit Covino. He

456
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 4: eats more like a girl. He's always watching his big ear.

457
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: Ah, you can't live like that.

458
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 3: Come on. He didn't partake, He didn't partake in the dessert.

459
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 4: But do you think I think that Rich and spot

460
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 4: a waited for me to dry the area and then

461
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 4: we could all eat the dessert together or b they

462
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 4: demolished it and by the time I was dry, it

463
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 4: was gone.

464
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

465
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: I think you were going to the ice cream shop

466
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: over there to get some dessert, right, I think, Yeah,

467
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: the dessert was gone, gone, gone in It's in my belly,

468
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: my belly right now, in my belly.

469
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 4: Yes, they took out the dessert, just the way the

470
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 4: Nuggets took out the heat in Game three.

471
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've not been to the galleria, you know. I

472
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: right across the street, the Shriman Oaks Galeria where what

473
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: is the movie they filmed there?

474
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 3: That great fast Times at Ridgemont High.

475
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: Film, but it looked much different when they filmed it there.

476
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 1: It's been completely renovated. We have the word of the week.

477
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: Are you excited for the word of the week, Danny?

478
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: Are you fired up for the word of the week? Yeah? Okay, word.

479
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: We're word word word the word a week. So in

480
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: honor of the mega mega mega mega mega sports merger

481
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: that happened this week, so much that gasbags and blowhearts

482
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: that only talk about golf four times a year unless

483
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods is involved in a scandal, all of a sudden,

484
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: we're chowing down on the low hanging fruit of a

485
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 1: merger between the Live Saudi you know, finance Live Golf

486
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: Tour and the PGA Tour. A massive story and as

487
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: I mentioned a few times on the radio show Overnight,

488
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: this is the first time in my life something this

489
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: big has happened in sports. I remember hearing stories when

490
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: I was a kid because it was kind of I

491
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: guess it might have happened when I was little. But

492
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: the NBA ABA merger that took on, like the Denver

493
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: Nuggets who were in the finals, the Indiana Pacers and

494
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: some teams the Nets became NBA teams in baseball. In

495
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: the early days of baseball, the American League in the

496
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: National League joined forces, but they were separate outfits and

497
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: they formed Major League Baseball NFL, the NFL AFL merger,

498
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: like all these things, and like sometimes we'll do stats

499
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: about since, you know, since the merger will be what

500
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: we we mentioned and so now we have another merger.

501
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: Not that we're big golf people, but massive, massive move

502
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: and hypocrisy to the next level. But the word of

503
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: the week this week is merger. That's the word of

504
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: the week, following the Live PG eight tour merger and

505
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: that is the word of the week. So the word

506
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 1: merger as a noun goes back to seventeen twenty eight.

507
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: So the word is almost you know, you do the

508
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: math on that's that's that's old, three hundred years old almost.

509
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 1: But in the legal sense it says extinguishment by absorption.

510
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: It was originally for real estate. The term merger was

511
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: for real estate and it was used in France, and

512
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: it wasn't until eighteen eighty nine that it was used

513
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 1: in business. But that was for security for a debt,

514
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 1: like if you had debt by the creditors, stay with

515
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 1: me on this. The word of the week merger, But

516
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 1: the modern way we use merger, like two businesses merging together.

517
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: That did not become common until nineteen twenty six. So

518
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: the word is in the way we use the word.

519
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's old, but it's you know, it's

520
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: not one hundred years old. It's close to one hundred

521
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: years old. But the general meaning any act of merging,

522
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,360
Speaker 1: that was like eighteen eighty one. But the I'm in

523
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: the term nineteen twenty six. So the war the week, merger, merger, merger, merger, merger.

524
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: Anything you got going on today, we'll push back to

525
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: the Sunday podcast. We'll do some pop goes the culture

526
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: along with the mail bag and all that. Anything going

527
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 1: on today, Danny, you want to promote, Yeah.

528
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 4: I'll use the word of the week. I'm trying to

529
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 4: merge my storage with my wifies. Last weekend, I cleaned

530
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 4: out a storage unit that I had in West Lake

531
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 4: Village smoke weed every day.

532
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 3: I downsized it.

533
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 4: If you know anything about storage units, they jack up

534
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 4: your rent every six months.

535
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous.

536
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 4: So I stormed into the office and I said, I

537
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,959
Speaker 4: demand a smaller unit, and so they gave me the

538
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 4: smallest closet they had, and I threw some stuff away.

539
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 4: I did the old trick where I took pictures of

540
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 4: old crap and then tossed it.

541
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 3: Good. The garage is clean.

542
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 4: And I think now I'm going to start setting up

543
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,719
Speaker 4: my podcast area.

544
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: Okay, did you do the move where you considered putting

545
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: it on offer up or eBay the stuff that you

546
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: ended up throwing out, or did it only have sentimental

547
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: value to you?

548
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 4: Sentimental value because a lot of it was older electronics

549
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 4: like old boomboxes and speakers and stuff like that. It's

550
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 4: not modern enough to where people would have been, you know,

551
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 4: fighting for it on offer up.

552
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: Gotcha, Yeah, I gotcha. I have nothing going. My wife's

553
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: actually working.

554
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 3: No house guests.

555
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, no house guests, thank god. So my wife's working

556
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: an extra shift. So I am considering if anyone listening,

557
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: if you're listening this early in the day today, if

558
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: you're in southern California and you are going to be

559
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: at the Angels game, I may make an appearance. I

560
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: was going to try to go out and have a

561
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: nice meal with my buddy, have like a guy's night,

562
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: but he's he told me his worst nightmare. He's going camping.

563
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: He hates camping, but his wife loves camping, and so

564
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: they're taking the kids camping and he was complaining about that.

565
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: So I will rather than do something other but maybe

566
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: go to the Angel game for a little bit. Check

567
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: that out. See the Big A haven't been out there

568
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: in a while. And that is it. We've got the

569
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: mail bag. Slash pop goes the culture. We'll get to

570
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: that on Sunday. Have a wonderful Saturday and we will

571
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: catch you then.

572
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, have fun watching Otani. Later, skater got a murder.

573
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 3: I gotta go
