He 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:15.480 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:19.880 rich pill poppers in the penthouse the Clearinghouse of hot 0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:23.599 takes break free for something special.

I 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:14.280 was so happy to track him down and he told 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.880 some stories. I I had worked with Serge a little 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.440 bit in the early days of Fox Sports Radio, but 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:23.679 he was telling me things I had no idea about 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.560 how he had gotten into the business and some of 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:29.480 the things he had accomplished, and how down on his 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:33.160 luck he was being homeless in Manhattan's Wild Stories that 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:35.280 he told. So if you miss that, go back and 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:39.560 check it out the Friday podcast. But Danny g we 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:43.520 have to keep marching forward, right, That's how that works. Yes, Well, 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:45.920 you know what was really cool about listening to that 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:51.440 Serge interview yesterday. He came up randomly in conversation when 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:53.520 we were doing the mail bag and we answered a 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:58.480 question about going on a cruise and yes, yeah, we 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:00.440 were like, we should get him on the podcast them 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:06.040 bam bang. So that that's cool. I like it when 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:09.960 things come up like that spontaneously. Yeah, I I I 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:12.520 was wondering his name, as you said. We came up 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.680 and he had told me stories about working on cruise 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:17.640 ships and what that was like like living on a 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:22.440 cruise ship traveling around the Atlantic Ocean, and it was 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.400 very interesting to me at the time. I was like, Wow, 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:26.080 I've never been on a cruise ship. I still have. 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.440 The only ship I've ever really been on is the 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:32.440 Queen Mary, which doesn't leave a long beach. And and 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.280 so you're telling me what it was like and you know, 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:37.200 living there and eating all the food, and the other 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:39.280 celebrities that would come and go off the boat. So 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:42.639 it was interesting and and I had no idea as 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:44.240 as I said, some of the other stuff that he 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.880 had done, but it was cool and hopefully we'll have 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.720 him on again at some point. So on the big 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:54.160 podcast today, the one you're listening to right now, which 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:57.440 is the most important podcast because that's the one you're 0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.960 listening to, and so that means it's the most important 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.080 because it's the one you've got right now. So we 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:08.960 have your Chariot awaits empty bottle, horse meat, say Hello 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:16.400 to my little Friend, and another riveting back scratcher, among 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.240 other things. I don't know what else is gonna pop up, 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:22.560 but we begin with this. So what a night it 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:28.160 was on our Friday overnight show, the Ben Maller Show Friday, 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:31.720 which is Thursday and the Friday. Some people consider it 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:35.000 completely Friday. Other people say it's still Thursday night because 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:36.640 you haven't been to bed yet. I think of it 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:41.880 more as Thursday night. But nonetheless, it's the Friday shows 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:43.160 the last year of the week. So if you were 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:47.720 listening live and in stereo, you heard it all play 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.240 out on the air, as helmet Man would say, the 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:53.920 live air, as he used to say, And one of 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:56.880 the more enjoyable shows. I'm gonna say right now, I'm 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.400 going on the record, I'm not gonna pull any punches here. 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:06.119 That was my favorite show of the year. It was awesome. 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:10.040 What happened, I'm gonna tell you so, I if you're 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:11.760 listening here, I hope you enjoyed the Shenanis And that 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:17.720 was the two NBA Draft night. But that is not 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:22.640 why this was a special night. As you know, Danny, 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:27.840 I am luke warm when it comes to the NBA 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:29.680 JF This used to be one of my favorite things, 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.680 the NBA Draft, but I don't really get all that 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:36.039 worked up for the NBA Draft anymore. Uh, it's way 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:39.320 down on my list of things that are cool. So 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:44.560 that's kind of lackluster, exactly exactly. And the Clippers had 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:46.520 like a second round pick, a drafted some guy who's 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:49.000 gonna be stashed in a G League team somewhere for 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:55.280 five years, so who care? So Uh. The the show 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:58.400 that we did, though, and you know, it's up to 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:00.840 you something it was it was to me more enjoyable, 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.680 but you've a listener after the side. We had more 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:08.840 Razmatans on that show. We had more Razmatazz on our 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:13.360 show than the NBA did our one. Danny featured a 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:18.600 trip to the octagon, the verbal octagon, Justin and Cincinnati 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:23.799 versus blind Scott from Boston, and it was like razor 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:29.880 wire and highro technics and it's crazy. Maybe these guys 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:31.880 have been listening for a long time so they kind 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.920 of get the show and all that, and uh, it 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:40.680 was cool. I Justin came out very methodical, meticulous, disciplined, 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:46.360 and then blind Scott, because he's blind, Scott just came 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:51.919 out loose, cannon, scatter, shot, helter skelter, and Scott's phone 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:56.040 crap the bed. In round number one, it was all 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.320 all messed up. He actually sent me an email he 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:02.760 said he got a phone call about some Wall Street thing. 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.600 Next when you're when you're blind, obviously you talks to 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.520 you and so anyway, his phone cut out. So the 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:13.240 first round was a disaster, and and then in in 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:17.760 round number two, both of them Danny got dumped, both 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:21.000 got dump which was a problem. Now we let it 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:27.320 continue because Justin had a borderline dump. He made an 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:33.680 abortion joke which very controversial and well, you'd have to 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:37.080 talk to Cooper Loop and Roberto, who immediately hit the 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:48.159 button and ejacked, ejacked, ejacked, So that happened. I yeah, 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.040 you know, I would have let it go because we're 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:53.680 in the overnights. And but then part of me was like, oh, 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:55.599 that's a good call because the one thing we don't 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.480 want on a Friday show is a call from the boss. Yeah, 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:02.159 you know how that good point. I guess when it's 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:06.120 like on the borderline like that, it's better safe to 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:10.280 be sorry it's on the periphery. Is somebody really gonna 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:14.240 get that worked up at two three in the morning 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:17.640 because of that? And get ah, yeah, I gotta I 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.400 gotta get a pound of flesh now because somebody justin 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:24.040 and Cincinnati made a joke. So then we went to 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:29.840 Scott and blind. Scott then talked about um, actually he 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:33.440 said sexual acts with a goat. Uh, that's what he 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.800 did there, And so we had to dump that for 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:43.760 obvious reasons, and uh dumped. Yeah, that's definitely that, that's 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.280 a dump. That's definitely a dump. Uh. He was not 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:48.080 talking about Tom Brady, by the way, he was talking 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.400 about actual, actual goats. And so then we went to 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:52.840 the final round. We thought, why not, it's a mad house, 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.560 let's keep going. We went to the final round and 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:59.600 blind Scott, this is where it really took next level. 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.840 So on one, Scott's phone died. Round two, he made 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:06.440 a comment a joke, we had a dump. Round three, 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:11.240 blind Scott turns into a one man band, Like, just imagine, 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:15.160 if you will, Danny, You're like Vegas, Fremont Street in Vegas, 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:20.400 Venice Beach, the Atlantic City Boardwalk, South Beach in Miami, 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.760 New Orleans. Yeah, what did I what did it sound like? 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.960 I love you? Oh no, I don't do that. Don't 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.839 You're gonna give me a PTSD. Benny and the weed Man, 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:37.640 Benny and the weed Man. Uh So, anyway, so blind Scott, 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.199 just imagine we're doing the final round. They're both on 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.240 the air at the same time. It's a steelcage deathmatch, 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:45.520 and he starts doing this one man band thing. He's 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.679 like playing music like he's it sounds like he's got 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:53.439 some instruments and he's like, simultaneously in my head, he's 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:56.160 using his hands, his feet, his all of his limbs, 0:08:57.040 --> 0:09:01.439 and he's got all these contractions contraction, it's not contract contraptions, 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.319 and and it was it was really I was like 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:08.079 genuinely defying It was so stupid and it was funny 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:12.520 and it was completely off the track. Even Eddie got 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:18.559 dumped Facebook dot Com, slash podcast make that boy, Well, 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:20.600 this was also a borderline dumb I want to get 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:25.040 your pig? Did he say Fox Sports Radio? Yes? Yes, 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:29.240 and he named all of our bosses went one by one. No, No, 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:32.920 Eddie was dump because he used and I can't even 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:35.559 say it because I'm told we'll get in trouble. He 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:41.760 used a trademarked phrase from a very litigious boxing announcer, 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:46.600 A ring announcer. Yeah, I got a cease and desist 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:50.160 from that guy when I was broadcasting in Santa Barbara. Yeah, 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:53.640 the guy's uh. I don't know how many lawyers he has, 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:56.160 but they are non stop going with a you know, 0:09:56.240 --> 0:10:00.480 it's the actually we say the the rumble in the uh? 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:03.480 Can we say it on the podcast? No, I don't 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.520 think damn it. I don't like so how about we 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.880 can rhyme it though? Well, yeah, that's actually what I said. 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:11.679 Let's get ready to go in the jungle or something 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:13.719 like that. What else rhymes with that? What do this? 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:18.280 What get fetti to bumble? There you go? You can 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:22.000 do that, bom done anyway, So Coop freaked out when 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.880 I Eddie had said that, And then I'm looking at 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:27.560 the red I have this button like a game show 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:31.520 button in the studio and when something gets dumped, it 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.439 lights up. So this thing lit up, and I was like, 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:38.240 what did what got dumped? This Eddie got what do 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:40.679 you say? I didn't realize it, and then like like 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:44.720 ynt it? So now that's like instead of seven deadly words, 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:48.559 it's it's add that phrase to the to the deadly word. 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.559 It was all in fun. But that was just the appetizer. 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.679 That was just the appetizer on the Friday show to 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.600 the main event and in the third hour. So this happened, 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:02.080 This octagon happened in the first stour in the third 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:09.080 hour of the radio programs. There was Cooper opened up 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:13.720 all the blinds so we could look out onto Ventura Boulevard. 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:20.040 Paul Butter right there at the corner, and Danny I 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.240 saw something that was the most beautiful thing I had 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.920 seen in a long time as far as a non 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:33.000 human being. Our chariot, how do arrive? That's right right, 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:40.280 p one moving man. Matt made the pilgrimage all the 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:43.439 way from Boston to the mecca of Fox Sports Radio, 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:49.360 and there it was the rig from the gods. And 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:51.600 now I had hung out with Matt. I've met Matt 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.120 over the years a couple of times in the Commonwealth. 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:58.280 We had Mallard meet and greets in Boston, and I 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.960 even hung out with him Vic briefly at a truck 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:04.839 stop in the Inland Empire, Ontario in so Cal, but 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:09.320 never at the studio till this week. Um Maddie was here. 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.440 He was doing some business in San Diego and Orange 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:15.600 County Camp Pendleton, some military families moving their stuff back 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:19.720 to the Northeast, and he came by and for those 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:23.160 that maybe missed the show and don't know, Matt has 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:28.360 the only verified mobile billboard for a sports radio show 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:32.160 in the world. I mean, right there on the side 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:36.480 of his trailer, on the back of his rig is 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.880 the name of our radio show, my show. It's it's 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:43.319 all outstanding, Yeah, I mean, he spent a lot of 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:45.079 money on that. That stuff is not cheap at all, 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:49.560 and and he's he's going for it. And so it's 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:54.880 the greatest guerrilla marketing you could possibly want, because it's 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:58.000 not just like a billboard sits there and people see 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:03.120 the billboard whatever they drive by. But this thing wowsers. 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.480 It's all over the country, Dad is. He goes to 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:10.199 all forty eight continental United's, you know, every state in 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:14.080 the continental United States he visits, and it's it's really 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:17.280 one of the coolest things that's ever happened by any 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:19.719 fan of the show. Certainly it's better. I've been a 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:21.720 radio twenty plus year, and I can't believe it's been 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.679 that long. But by far, this is the coolest advertising 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:29.240 and really the only advertising I've ever had. Uh. You know, 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.559 all there's some shirts I I had made or listeners 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:35.160 made for the show, but but you know, Maco is 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:38.000 all over the place. He's a long haul mover and 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:40.040 he's on the road. He told us three hundred days 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.480 a year. And he said, business is really good right 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.400 now for a guy like that, because there's that mass 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:50.600 exodus Danny from California where people are leaving California still 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:54.240 and heading back to the eastern part of the United States, 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:56.960 and so, uh, it's really it's really good for him. 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:59.079 And he's making bank and I'm a guy works his 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:03.079 ass off working much and so it's really cool. We've 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:05.360 all heard the stories about how much a U haul 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:10.600 truck is from California to Arizona or Texas. They are 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:14.160 jacking those prices up the past couple of years. Yeah, 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.880 it's it's not It's not a pleasant situation on your 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:21.800 pocketbook at all. And as an added bonus, but wait, 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:26.000 there's more, dame. As an added bonus, moving man Matt 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:31.760 brought his travel buddy Louis Louis. Hey, Louie Louis is 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:38.080 an insanely cute French bulldog rff. Oh nice. Yeah, and 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.560 it was great our canine friend. We brought him into 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:44.200 the broadcast O Joe and it was going really well. 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.080 Louis was well behaved. But there was one thing that 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:50.800 went bad. Uh, you want to take a guess what happened? 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:55.800 What Louis did? He whizzed on Coope's foot. Well, that 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:57.960 that would have been That would have been great, That 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.560 would have been wonderful, RADI. It did not do that, alright, Yes, 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:03.840 number two here we yes, number two. Uh, he left 0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:08.880 a doggy land mine on the carpet. Doggy land mine 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:10.960 on the carpet. Hey, fine, guess you would think that 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:17.160 possible Louis might have done that. No, it turns out 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:21.560 that Louis decided he wanted to leave some of Louis behind, 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:25.800 but not number one or number two. What did Louis do? 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:33.400 He was shedding. Yeah, so the floor of the studio. Like, 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.120 I put Louis on my lap. The guy I love dogs, 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:38.800 and Louis was a really cool, cool dog and I 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:43.360 was pett and Louis the doggie and I my lap 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.960 is covered in fur, you know that hair? And then 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:52.760 we put Louie down and uh yeah, it was his 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:55.000 hair in the air everywhere. And so and then we 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.360 did the segment. We had mad in for a segment 0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:59.800 so we could chat with him. Why not at least 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:02.320 like could do the guy put the name on on 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:06.520 the bus of the program. And so did you post 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:11.000 a picture of the truck? Yeah, yeah, yeah yesterday on Friday. Uh, 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:13.520 if you if you go to the Instagram page or 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:17.440 the Facebook pitch Ben Mather Show on Facebook and Ben 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:20.960 Maller on Fox on Instagram, you can check out the 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:26.480 photos of that. It's pretty it's pretty cool. So, uh, 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:31.760 not only did Louie leave hair everywhere, uh, he attempted 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:37.440 to either eat or lick the microphone, which as you know, 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:39.600 as you know Danny from working a fox really would 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:43.080 not be the first or last gas bag to take 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:47.160 a bite out of a thousand plus dollar microphone. But 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.360 it was a wonderful night and Matt had he didn't 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:50.480 even stay at the end of the show. He had 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:52.600 head out to a truck stop. He was dead tired, 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.240 and a big tip of the camp I really I 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:57.600 wanna thank Louis. I want to thank moving man Matt, 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:01.480 and a big salut, a tip of the microphone to 0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:05.399 all the hard working truck drivers, eighteen wheelers, guys with 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:10.119 those big rigs highways and byways all over America and beyond. 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:13.600 And that is really the backbone. If you do an 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:18.520 overnight radio show, who's listening, who's doing it live? A 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:20.920 lot of people on the podcast have normal jobs, but 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:25.520 the overnight it's a lot of truck drivers, security guards, 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:31.200 factory workers, people working for ups. So the post office bartenders, 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:38.520 short order cooks, dudes making donuts, the paper, more security 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:44.879 guards and drivers. Yeah, like all of that. So police criminals, 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:48.920 we got both sides, good and bad. Uh. Drug addicts, insomniacs, 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:53.480 those are those are my people. And I had a 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:56.320 fun time. That was a good night or radio that's 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:57.960 a good night. That makes up for the nights you 0:17:58.000 --> 0:17:59.720 go in there and you're like, oh my god, what 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:03.520 am I it doing here? Which doesn't happen very awful everyone. 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:04.919 So we all have those days, no matter what your 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:06.560 job is, we all have those days. Right, You're like, 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:09.560 oh my god, that's a nice bonus for when you're 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:13.600 there in person. What what do you referring? What are 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:18.440 you referring? Well, I came in because of Matt h 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:22.960 and also being mandated by manager. So turning the page 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:26.200 on that, we have a Maller health update, a Mallard 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:29.399 health update. So last week we talked about some of 0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:33.520 my dental issues Danny and my wife informed me. She 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:36.399 said she licks some stuff up on the internet that 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:42.320 if I had not gotten my messed up tooth, my 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:45.520 wisdom tooth taken care of that, it could have been 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:50.280 lights out. The infection was all over my face. It 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:52.879 was kind of spreading around my jaw. You could go 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:56.520 to your brain. I don't know, that's what she said. 0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:58.159 She said she read some stuff on the internet and 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:01.320 people have died with this, So what is that even? 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:05.400 How's that passib But anyway, so it's something that has 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:09.800 actually k ode people. Lights out. That's it. Yeah. And 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:13.640 so I did have the dental surgery, and I've been 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:16.880 on all kinds of meds. Here only took I'm happy 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:20.480 to report I only took pain meds for two and 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:24.240 a half days after the operation. So I was worried 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:26.240 I was gonna get addicted, and so I decided to 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:32.240 I decided to use some decorum, some discretion and determination 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:36.119 and Grin and Barrett, just say no to the pills. 0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:40.440 You're gonna stick to the weed, smoke weed. Yeah, I 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:43.479 don't need the pills. And so I was asked by 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:46.320 a listener on the mail I'll get to it. And 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:48.760 I forget who I should have put in the mail bag. 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:51.960 But it was like, was this worse than the gall bladder? No? No, 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:55.960 the gall bladder was I think that was was Mike 0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:59.920 and something. But the gall bladder is worse, much worse. 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:02.119 The worst pain I've ever had in my life is 0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:05.480 a gall blood. I thought I was going to visit 0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:08.680 the Pearly Gates that night. That day, my uh, the 0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:12.560 system stopped working there. That was That was it. But 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:16.680 is it true that the pill bottle is empty? Yes, 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:20.399 it is, damn not the painkillers, As I said, my 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:25.240 antibiotics have run their course. I was on ten days 0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:28.080 every eight hours. I had to take these pills and 0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:30.760 uh knocking all the gunk and the mold and the 0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:33.520 slime and all that crap from the infection out of 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:36.320 my jaw and all that. So I am happy to reporter. 0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:39.879 I'm not on any prescribed medications for any of the 0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:44.000 illness or anything like that. One thing that I do 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:47.560 not want to have ever is on my plate horse meat. 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:51.159 That is not something I want. Danny is horse me chicken, 0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:54.800 a burger, yes, but I don't want to have like 0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:56.800 Secretariat on my plate. If you know what You know 0:20:56.840 --> 0:21:00.320 what I'm saying. Well, I'm gonna get caught up on Twitter, 0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:03.840 hopefully a TV show that I've been watching that I 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:07.600 haven't seen in a few weeks today on Saturday, after 0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:10.000 I get done at the network, because all week long 0:21:10.520 --> 0:21:13.200 it was a super busy week. It was my first 0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:16.560 week teaching science for your people, Ben, you you could 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:22.240 appreciate this. It is a private Jewish school that I'm at. Yeah, 0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:26.800 and you're a good mention. There's a mix of all 0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:30.399 kids there, but obviously some of the regular students from 0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:33.920 that school are there. Before you get carried. I gotta 0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:36.119 tell you, Dannyl on the East Coast, like my my 0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:38.560 brothers in Manhattan, like all the Jewish kids on the 0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:40.679 East Coast go to summer camp, like that's the thing. 0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:43.040 But I don't think that's really a deal. Out here 0:21:43.080 --> 0:21:45.080 in California, right on the West coast, it's like a 0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:51.240 Northeastern It's actually an art slash science camp. And I 0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:56.159 am teaching science four classes in one day. So they 0:21:56.280 --> 0:21:58.800 break it up and they have them out there doing 0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:02.920 talent show stuff and throwing water balloons that's a classic. 0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:08.600 They're dancing, they're singing. It's a pretty cool setup. But 0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:12.359 for me, it's just been NonStop because they expect a 0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:16.119 science project every day of the week and I have 0:22:16.320 --> 0:22:20.680 sixty total kids. How many weeks is this? Is it 0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:22.439 just this week or is it every you know? How 0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:25.520 how long is the class after this week? Five more 0:22:25.640 --> 0:22:28.920 weeks of this? Five more weeks where I am gonna 0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:31.760 be dead? Wait? Wait? And you have every day you 0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:34.040 have to come up with something new? Is every yep? 0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:40.200 Every day a new lesson? Yeah? So what I did, though, well, 0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:43.720 I got strategic and I stretched out a couple of 0:22:43.840 --> 0:22:47.160 projects and I gave them two days for one of them, 0:22:47.640 --> 0:22:51.840 three days for the other. So instead of doing one 0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:54.480 new one every day, I was like, I told the 0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:58.040 director of the program, I said, I didn't have enough 0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:00.040 class time, so I had to stretch it into the 0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:03.680 next day. And she's like, okay, that's fine. So they're 0:23:03.680 --> 0:23:06.720 not sweating me, thank god. So next week, Ben, I 0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:11.200 think I'm gonna do two days of finger painting, three 0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:13.960 days of cutting out shapes. I have to find some 0:23:14.160 --> 0:23:19.639 easier projects because I did these really cool cell phone speakers, 0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:23.160 like a do it yourself project, and then I did 0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:30.000 spaghetti bridges, a really cool engineering project. Dead tired because 0:23:30.000 --> 0:23:32.159 I brought all the work home with me. But the 0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:37.000 very first day, my first class comes in at nine am. 0:23:37.640 --> 0:23:39.959 There's twenty kids in the first class and they're all 0:23:40.040 --> 0:23:42.159 staring at me at the front of the classroom. So 0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:44.879 I told him, all right, we'll go around the classroom. 0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:46.840 You know that old deal. A lot of teachers do 0:23:46.960 --> 0:23:50.600 that on the first day. Yeah, I'm like, I need 0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:55.000 to know your names, tell me your favorite animal and 0:23:55.160 --> 0:23:58.639 your favorite food. So now they're excited. They want to 0:23:58.720 --> 0:24:01.040 tell us, they want to share this the class. So 0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:03.159 of course there's a bunch of high maintenance kids, and 0:24:03.200 --> 0:24:07.800 they're saying their favorite food is sushi. How all these 0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:14.600 kids second to fifth grade, that's third and fourth grade 0:24:14.680 --> 0:24:18.560 are eating sushi. A lot of kids in California. Man, 0:24:20.040 --> 0:24:23.920 I've never had I've never had sushi, you know, Man, 0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:27.359 I've never had sushi. I've never had coffee, I swear 0:24:27.400 --> 0:24:31.240 to guy. Probably half the class said sushi. One kid though, 0:24:31.640 --> 0:24:34.680 beating burgers and chicken fingers just like I'm eating. I'm 0:24:34.720 --> 0:24:37.040 still eating that as a middle aged I mean. There 0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:39.600 was some classics thrown in there. There was a couple 0:24:39.640 --> 0:24:44.280 of pizzas, there was some pasta. Tacos. Tacos are gray. 0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:47.639 Who doesn't love taco I think two kids said tacos. 0:24:47.840 --> 0:24:50.080
