Danny, 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:10.039 I would like to think Roberto who came on, he 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:11.560 didn't have to do that. He doesn't work for the 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.560 company anymore. But that's the big show. We'll talk you 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:16.399 a little bit about that. But Roberto was on the 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:19.880 Friday podcast. So if you had a chance to sample that. 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:23.039 If not bad job by you.

You can hear Roberto talk about his 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:32.120 time at Fox Sports Radio and FSR and all of that. 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:33.800 How cool is that. 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:37.440 I've had situations I'm not sure if you ever have 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:41.039 in your radio career where you didn't get to say 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:50.480 goodbye to your audience. You just disappeared. It was almost 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:53.880 like you were there one day and gone the next 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.480 and back. When this happened to me, there was no 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:02.400 Twitter or anything like that. I couldn't send out a 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:06.080 message to the masses saying thank you so much and 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:09.680 I enjoyed my time and you know, I appreciate you 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:13.440 listening and all that. That's what radio hosts do nowadays. 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:17.040 When I couldn't do that, I saw some listeners later 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:18.880 down the line and they were pissed at me. They 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.360 were like, how can you just leave like that? You'dn't 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.920 even say goodbye or anything. And I'm like, well, you 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:27.280 don't understand how broadcasting works. They come and give you 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:29.399 your pink slip right after your show is over. 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:29.960 Usually. 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:35.280 Yeah. I remember when I was younger and I skipped 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:39.160 school and I watched the History Channel and they had 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:43.880 a documentary about Joseph Stalin and how he would make 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:48.040 people disappear where they would be there one day, they 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:51.239 would go to work and then they would never come home. 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.919 And not only would they never come home, he would 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:58.440 like erase all the back in those days, the books 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.720 with their names in them, the picture all disappear, like everything, 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:04.880 any trace of the people would go away. And it's 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:09.320 a similar concept in the radio business, which is fascinating 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.200 how they decided that is the way to go. But 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.760 I was told by a program director that the reason 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:18.240 we do that is to protect the license because if 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:20.800 we put somebody on the air that and we say, oh, 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:24.160 I get a final show, they are going to destroy 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.720 us and they are going to tear down the radio 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:30.400 station and they're gonna steal stuff, and you know all that. 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:34.400 They were so paranoid, I know. And that's the thing 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.680 is that there is no way in hell. 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:42.480 After seven years at the radio station I helped build 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.360 to number one, there's no way that I would go 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:49.400 in there at a steal something and b say something 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:53.080 bad on the air, because you know in broadcasting that 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:57.160 burning bridges is a no no, a big time no no, 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:01.200 because you're gonna somewhere along the way work with those 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:05.840 people again, somewhere down the road. Radio is a small community, 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.760 and you're gonna see one or two of those folks 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:13.320 sometime again in the future. And even as a youngster 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.000 in radio, I knew that, So there was no way 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.960 I would do any I wasn't gonna pull any shenanigans. 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:21.840 I just wanted to have a fun final show and 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:26.080 say goodbye to the morning show listeners. Instead, like you said, 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:30.240 they even erased my voice off of the commercials and 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.919 suddenly you're Mia. You're on a milk carton immediately. 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:39.640 Yeah, And it's all the media, Like I remember when 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:43.039 Tucker Carlson got let go from Fox News, like he 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:46.800 was like their number one guy, and they obviously they 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.440 got rid of him, I guess on a Friday and 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:54.240 immediately like any trace completely. So it was great to 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:59.719 have Roberto on a retrospective on Roberto leaving the show. 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.359 He's actually the guy that replaced you, Danny, when you 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:06.479 went to the morning show. Yes, Roberto stepped in for you, 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.240 and I hope you heard the chat. Roberto been a 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:15.279 key part of the show the last five years, almost 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:17.960 five years, I think it's just a little short of 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:22.400 five years, and he's the guy that played the drops 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:24.400 most of the drops. Eddie plays some, but most of 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:28.839 the jobs come from Roberto. But change is part of 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.279 the business. And as we've been through a lot of 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.360 different people over the years, both of us in our 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:36.719 different travels, our roads and radio and any job. But 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:40.719 I feel like radio is more of like a Greyhound 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:45.159 bus station. And I was going through my head. I 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.599 was driving in and I was thinking about all the 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.240 different board ops and producers that I've worked with since 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:53.960 I started at Fox Sports Radio back in like two thousand. 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:55.880 That must have been a long drive. 0:05:56.920 --> 0:06:00.000 Yeah, And I'm like, well, that guy became a team 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:04.400 this guy's a baker, that guy's an insurance salesman. I 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.640 don't know what happened to that guy. He moved back 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:08.679 to Boston. I don't know what happened to that guy. 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:11.440 Then the other guy, the last I heard, he was 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:13.479 in rehab. Then there's the guy that I used to 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:17.120 work with who's a real estate mogul. And then there's 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:20.679 another guy who's like a program director at a radio station. 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:22.920 But I don't really talk to him, but I used 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:26.960 to be close to him. And you name it, someone 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.480 formally has passed through the building who is now doing 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.200 something totally efferent. Some of them are still working in radio. 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:34.919 But people, that's the old thing. People will come and 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:38.039 go in your lives all the time, and it's radio 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:42.680 is a transient business. And what's the old thing. It's 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.760 not your fault. It's the universe just making room for 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.719 new people, I think, is Yeah. 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.279 And when we came up in broadcasting, we were told, 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.800 if you're able to stay at any call letters for 0:06:54.880 --> 0:07:00.760 three years, that's an accomplishment because usually something happened in 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:04.840 three years, whether it's a lineup change, a programming change. 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.839 And for me, at that station I mentioned, which I 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:12.800 helped build for seven years, it was a management change 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.880 and it was a guy from across town who had 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:19.760 run the AC station in our market. And when he 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.280 got over to our station, he called a big staff 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:24.960 meeting and he proclaimed, why. 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:26.160 Would I change anything? 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:31.000 You guys are number one. And right after that meeting 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.200 I told my assistant program director. 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.160 I was like, you know what that means, right, He's 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:36.240 going to change everything? 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:38.680 Of course? 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:39.360 Yeah? Yeah. 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.720 I had I had a boss this really before I 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:44.400 got the Fox. I had a guy at one of 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:46.760 the stations I worked at that was like this really 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.840 slick sales guy. He wore the power suits, you know, 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:53.520 the purple jacket. One day had the bright red jacket, 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.000 the next had the power blue jacket. 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:56.360 You know. 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:58.800 He's a and he was like into the whole Tony 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:03.760 Robbins thing. And we were in a labor negotiation because 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:05.920 it was a union shop, and we were in a 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:11.120 labor negotiation and the guy they turned this what had 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:15.040 been an f It had been a music station and 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:19.040 they had a contract where it was like a union contract. 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:22.040 They flipped it the sports. Well, the sports station had 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:25.360 no audience. When you start a new station, new format, 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:27.280 there's no one listening. It takes a while to build 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:31.880 an audience. And so they had to pay us ridiculous 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.280 money that they had been paying the DJs that had 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.800 been at the radio station. And they were trying to 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:41.160 negotiate a lower pay because they're like, well, no one's listening. 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.600 Pay these guys that kind of money. And this boss 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:49.319 came into the meeting and he violated every labor law 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.160 on maagement. This is a long time ago. The statute 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:56.720 of limitations has run out. But he said, if you guys, 0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:01.560 do not take this deal. I will system I don't 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:03.640 think he's used systematic, but I will take every one 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:07.520 of you away and I will flip on. At that time, 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:11.320 it was sports fan Radio, which was the network out 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:13.680 of Vegas, and I will I will just put that 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.720 on and I'll have the same number of people listening 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:19.240 and I'll save all this man. It was like he 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:22.320 violated every possible law you can do, and then he 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:24.520 didn't even end up doing anything. He just ended up 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.040 paying us and then and so it was a complete 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:31.520 waste of time. But you know, it's listen, things things happen. 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:34.800 I love Roberto, I'm gonna miss him, and uh, it's 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:36.400 one of these things. I mean, you you get used 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.599 to people and then you got to get use to 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:39.280 new people. 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:42.520 And yeah, and my point was that not only do 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.680 we wish him well, and he's been a raider friend 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:48.800 this whole time. In fact, on Sundays he's the one 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.600 guy I know that's gonna text my phone with some 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:55.280 filthy language because he's down to few and he's like 0:09:55.600 --> 0:10:01.000 fucking Derek Carr. I can't believe fucking Derek Carr. Yeah, 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.400 I'm like the lifeline. I'm like the guy that has 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:06.439 to save him from drowning and his alcohol. And I'm 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:09.240 like Roberto, it's all right, it's the third corner. We 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.360 have time to come back. I'm the positive one. 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:16.040 Yeah, And I recall telling Roberto I think in the 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.400 podcast we were talking about, you know that I'll still 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:22.199 text him whenever the Dodgers screw up Dave Roberts makes 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:26.040 the wrong pitching change or micro manages the front you know, 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.640 the front office micro manages and they you know, this 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:31.600 guy's only he's pitching a shutout, but he's thrown seventy 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:33.280 eight pitches, so we have to take him out of 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.120 the game because his arm will fall off on seventy nine. 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:38.679 And this week we go back and forth on that. 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:41.679 So I'm sure, especially when the playoffs come around for 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:45.040 the Dodgers, I will be texting Roberto quite a bit. 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:48.520 And you know it's it's people have been emailing me. 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:50.560 I told Roberto this as people have been asking me 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:52.600 what happened. You know, he told the story from his 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:56.079 point of view, and I think it really is more 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:58.280 of a it's a money thing, but it's a schedule 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:00.360 of thing. And I think if the money was the 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:04.320 same and he had daytime hours. I think you'd be fine, 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:06.080 but people that all work overnight, you have no idea 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:09.280 how difficult it is. It seems like you'd get used 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:13.760 to it, but and I'm pretty used to it, but 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:17.280 some people just go crazy and it's just not good 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:20.760 and it creates Yeah, a lot of the issues are 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:21.960 not necessarily with yourself. 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:23.400 It's with your family family. 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.800 I was just going to say that no one really 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.559 realizes until you're in it and you're trying to do it, 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:32.880 that your family expects you to flip your schedule around 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:37.000 immediately every weekend, and you do your best, so you 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.880 pretend like it's not bothering you, but you kind of 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:43.680 feel like a zombie and everybody else is, you know, 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:46.600 laughing and having a good time on the weekend, and 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:48.720 it's just a weird feeling because you want to do 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:52.959 it and you're trying your best, but it sucks, man, 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:56.440 because your sleeping clock is completely twisted around. 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.240 It's very rude of society, Like you can't go to 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:01.559 a bank four in the morning. If you do, you're 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.960 robbing it. You can't, I mean, you can't see as 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.640 someone at the bank. You can't get a doctor's appointment 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:10.080 at that time unless you're in the emergency room and 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:13.320 then you've got to wait for seventeen hours and all that. Like, 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:17.920 it's not designed. Society's not designed for people that work overnight. 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:21.439 But I mean there are restaurants open, there's obviously people working. 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:22.840 There's a lot of people working. 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:26.199 The third shift in the first shift is the backbone 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:27.440 of our country. 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:31.600 Yeah, I mean it's like it's people stocking shelves and 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:36.439 driving trucks and putting food out and cooking food and 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:39.200 all that stuff. So some of the things, you know, 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:40.920 we've obviously talked for a while here, but some of 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:43.280 the things we've got to get to. We have Ben 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:46.880 and Ben mister Miagi and the Word of the Week, 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:48.280 and we'll see if we get to anything else. We 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:51.319 might have to say pop culture and that other stuff 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:54.240 for the Sunday podcast, but we'll start with this. So 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:59.960 this past weekend, the Malord Mansion turned into a bend 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:05.840 and breakfast. That's a bed and breakfast. It turned into 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:12.120 my wife invited a childhood girlfriend of hers, her husband 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:18.160 and their toddler to stop by from they live in Oregon, 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:23.080 just outside Portland, Oregon, and they stopped by for a 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:29.800 very long visit. They came on a Thursday early in 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:35.040 the day and then they they left on Sunday, so 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:38.200 the mallord bed and breakfast. Now I did not know this, Danny, 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:40.960 this was unexpected. I knew they were coming, but they 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.000 didn't know all the details. My wife kind of gave 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:47.000 me some of the details and not all of them. 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:49.360 I pretty much keep to myself. I talk a lot. 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:51.560 We both talk a lot for our jobs. So on 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:55.560 the weekends I shut her down. I go to second year. 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:58.480 You know, stay in your lane. I don't make waves. 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.760 But the one one thing that's very important to me 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:09.680 is my domain, my my ecosystem, my world. I need. 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:14.280 I need that unsullied. I need that untouched. That's my 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:17.679 my domain, right, that's my spot. And I don't want, 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:21.960 you know, somebody coming over for a couple hours for visit. 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:23.440 I have no problem with that. I think that's great. 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:25.280 I have family, We have family over all the time. 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:29.400 But you start staying there and I mean, I'm trying 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:31.480 to play nice and all that stuff, but I'm like, 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:34.880 there's too many rogue actors running across the Serengetti, and 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:36.720 I don't know whether they're going to try to eat 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:40.320 me or anything like that. And so but anyway, I 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:43.360 was fine. So I was okay. The first couple of days. 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.320 I even went into the Mothership on a day that 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.800 I normally don't go in so they could sleep and 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:54.040 not hear me barking about some NFL scandal or the 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:57.600 NBA finals that my wife and this was all in 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:00.000 the brochure, but I didn't see the brochure. My wife 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:04.600 ife rolled out the what I call the VIP package 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:10.320 at the Mallard Bed and Breakfast, the club package, and 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:14.000 it included the all inclusive. She went shopping with them 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:17.720 and they picked out a few items at Costco, and 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:23.960 then when they were checking out, much to my wife's surprise, 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:28.040 she said, no one stepped up to buy said items. 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:29.840 So by I guess they just assumed it was part 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.480 of the y. 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.360 They at least water or grass for you. 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:39.200 So they well, we'll get to that. So we got 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:43.600 like seven pounds of pasta because their kid likes pasta. 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:46.160 Their kid, by the way, who just turned two. More 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:49.480 on that in a minute, so fine, whatever, you know, 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.640 there was pasta and a few other items. My wife 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:55.280 didn't realize she was purchasing for them. She thought when 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:58.280 they got to the teller they would buy the items. 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:01.800 But they didn't do that. And maybe I'm wrong on this, Danny. 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.440 And I'm going to ask you the listener. I'll ask you, Danny, 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:11.400 if you stay at someone's house, is it true that 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:16.680 you should buy your own stuff? Is that? Is that? Basically? Really? 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:19.600 Now, my grandfather got even a question that you need 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:20.080 to ask. 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:23.280 It's a bit of a rhetorical question my grandfather. There's 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:27.240 a Yiddish term hawser. My grandfather would say, but but 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:29.240 you know, find you maybe it was a rookie mistake 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:33.080 by them. So my wife then just this. I knew 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.080 about this, She said, you know, the kid's turning to 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:37.040 there's no one they're not They live in Oregon, they 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:39.040 don't live in California. There are a lot of that 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.480 are from California. So they have a lot of family 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:43.280 and friends. And they want to have a birthday party 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:47.160 for the two year old who will never remember anything 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.200 about this party at all. 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:53.920 So, you know, my wife, somebody else said this, I 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:58.080 completely agree. Birthday parties are kids that young. They're not 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:01.280 for the fricking kids. They're for the el to take pictures. 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:03.800 Yes, and that is about to become your world, Danny, 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:07.480 in August, possibly sooner. That is going to be your 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.520 new new normal. So get ready for that. Uh but 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:13.240 but anyway, so she said, my wife, she doesn't do 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:16.160 anything small. So she we're gonna have a we're gonna 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:17.679 have a party. We're gonna have a big party. 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:21.920 We're gonna get Oh so we're going to invite other 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:23.040 people to your house. 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:26.880 Yeah, that's the problem. So yeah, yeah, so not only 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:29.520 do we have three house guests, now we have a party. 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:31.040 I went out, I had to buy We bought a 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:34.560 couple of cakes. We bought one of those blow up 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:37.080 pools from Walmart for the kids, so we had a 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:38.880 pool for them. There are other kids there. 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:41.600 Like the Platinum package. 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:44.880 Yeah, this is this is all out. So now, as 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:48.080 you said, Danny, there are more strangers that are now 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:49.960 in my house. Now I know some of these people 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:52.960 casually there there, and I like them. They're nice people. 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:57.320 But again, you know, it's more invasive and and all that. 0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:01.080 And uh so then we got through that, and I 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:05.080 was so burned out I had to get away, Danny, 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:08.159 and my wife realizes I was about to lose my 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:12.879 lunch and I was gonna need the people on the 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:14.879 white coach to come get me for I was about 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:17.960 to I'm pretty calm, but when I blow up, it's 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:21.720 like a volcano. It's molten lava everywhere. I don't do 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:24.000 it very often, but when I blow up, I get 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.240 my money's worth. So she's like, we got to get 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:28.320 out of here. And so we went to the beach 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:33.960 and hung out, and then she realized that, you know, 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.480 she was like, well, maybe we should invite them to dinner. 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:39.480 And I'm like, are they gonna pay for dinner? You know, 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:43.920 they're gonna pay for dinner, And she's, I don't know, 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:47.080 probably not. So then we just like we stayed out. 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:48.960 We went out to I wasn't planning on going out 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:51.240 to EA, so we went out to eat. So we 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:53.719 went to the beach for like an hour and a half. 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:56.400 Then when and we were walking around trying to find 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:58.960 a place to eat, just to kill more time to 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:03.280 avoid coming back to the to the home. And so yeah, 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:06.119 it was quite quite the adventure. And and know they 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:08.400 didn't buy us one meal. I find like I've had 0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:10.000 other people stay at the house and they've always at 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:12.399 least the common courtesy is on your way out. You 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:14.440 buy the host the meal. 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:16.520 Yeah, you know, and. 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:21.080 They did, thank us. But it's you know, I said, 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:24.720 Ben and Ben because Benjamin Franklin Danny was right when 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:29.800 he famously said that guests are like fish. They begin 0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:32.280 to smell after three days. I would argue they begin 0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:34.320 to smell after about a day and a half, so 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:36.920 we might have to update that to a day and 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:39.920 a half. And that's about it. But if anybody wants 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:41.800 to stay at the Malor Mansion, the Malard bed and 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:45.880 breakfast all inclusive, you'll get you know, food at Costco 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:47.960 if you want, just put that in the cart. You know, 0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:48.760 we'll pay for it. 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:49.199 Why not? 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:53.040 What the hell? And knock yourself? Knock yourself. 0:19:55.359 --> 0:20:00.280 Well, you could have used some of mister Miyagi's breathing methods. Man, 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:01.840 I don't know how you got through that. I would 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:04.240 have been cursing by the second day. 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:06.760 Wow, wax on and wax off? 0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:10.560 Right, Yeah, yeah, I remember when danielsun walked in on 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:11.480 him meditating. 0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:13.120 That's what you needed to do. 0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:16.359 Oh me, holy shit, I think this thing is going 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:19.399 to get July. I'm confused. Where are we in the 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:20.360 NBA schedule? 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:23.520 I don't even know, it's very rare. They usually it's 0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:25.840 an odd schedule because they played on Friday, which is, 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:28.360 as you know, Danny, a bad television night because people 0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:31.080 usually go out, although it's different now with on demand, 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:33.679 but the NBA's live programming, so they put it on 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:36.560 a Friday, and then there's no game on Sunday, which 0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:39.200 is where they usually want to put the game because 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:41.359 there's travel, so they have to give him two days. 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:44.600 So the next NBA Finals game is on Monday. It's 0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:49.000 very odd scheduling, scheduling Game three. 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:51.600 We were talking about it as a show on Cavino 0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:54.800 and Rich that we hadn't gone to Buffalo Wild Wings 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:58.000 in a while. Every couple of months will go as 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:01.520 a show and we'll watch a exporting event there and 0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:05.399 get some boneless nuggies. And we had a lot of fun, 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:09.639 but I had a party foul bit. Rich took a 0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:13.359 picture saying, I can't wait to talk about this on 0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:14.240 the show tomorrow. 0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:17.040 Danny g for like twenty minutes, was trying to get 0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:20.320 her attention, trying to get a coke right, excuse, excuse me, 0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:25.399 let's let's years sitting register, you know, to her ears 0:21:25.440 --> 0:21:29.440 because it's so low she was like, she was like. 0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:32.359
