So we 32 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: me and Danny were sitting off the side and we 33 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: had multiple people Danny going around who were looking for 34 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: people to come on the podcast. Yeah. Well, our booking 35 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: agent for our network. She kept coming up to me 36 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: and whispering in my ear options for guests for our podcast. 37 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: The nice guy you are you don't like to be 38 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: the bad guy, which I understand. We would have to 39 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: uh nicely decline certain guests that I didn't think we're 40 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: worthy of Ben Mallor's podcast, and she looked a little 41 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: irritated from time to time, but it paid off because 42 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: after saying no, no, thank you, no, no, thank you. 43 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: Third time was the charm, because that's when she walked 44 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,959 Speaker 1: to Emmett Smith over to us. Yeah. So I had 45 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: no idea, neither did Danny g that Emmett Smith was 46 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: going to pop up. And in my peripheral vision, in 47 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: off to the side, I see this group of people 48 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: because Emmett's got his son with him, he's got some 49 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: pr people, some you know, it's a whole posse of people. 50 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: And so I just like look off the side and 51 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: the first thing I saw was this bowl of chicken wings. 52 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: I got excited, and then I didn't even look who 53 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: was holding the chicken wings. And then there was like 54 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: paper towels. I was hoping Emmett Smith was promoting like 55 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: some sort of barbecue sauce. Yeah, yeah, that would have 56 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: been great. And then so I was like, well, wait 57 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: a minute, this is the all time leading rusher in 58 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: NFL history just popped up out of nowhere, out of 59 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: thin air, like abracadabra, hocus pocus. And so that was 60 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: that was pretty cool. We had no idea that that 61 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: was gonna happen. And you did turn down Danny's not exaggerating. 62 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: You turned down multiple people and I'm just like, Okay, fine, 63 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: we'll talk to that person. I don't really want to 64 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: talk to that person, but we can. We can do it. 65 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: You know, if they want us to talk to that person, 66 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: I can do five minute for that person. How hard 67 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: could that be? No one wanted, Nobody wants to hear that. 68 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: But I was like, I could do it. Why. It 69 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: is a wild scene though at this Radio Row because 70 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: and I wasn't the one last year. We were there 71 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: a little bit and and just kind of experiencing everything. 72 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: It's like a swap meet, yeah, I would say, a 73 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,119 Speaker 1: fancy swap meet. Yeah, because you've got all these high 74 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: falutin PR people that are walking around who an agents, uh. 75 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: And you just see these people and some of them 76 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: you recognize. I saw Lee Steinberg just like wandering around 77 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: aimlessly at Radio Row, at the agent for Patrick Mahomes. 78 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: But all these guys and women are trying to sell 79 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: their clients to get airtime. They're wharing themselves out to 80 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: get airtime so they can sell your paper towels or 81 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: god only knows what. And it's weird with the players 82 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: wandering around two ben former and current. Because I ran 83 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: to the bathroom, I'm standing there get a quick C 84 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: N RP break and Kurt Warner is taking a whiz 85 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: at the urinal right next to me. It's a magical urinal. 86 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: Kurt Warner Hall of Fame m VP quarterback Kurt Warner 87 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: right there urinating in the bathroom. There were I will 88 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: give the NFL credit, there were a lot of bathrooms. 89 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: There were bathrooms on each side, so I felt like 90 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: there were plenty of bathrooms, multiple you need that. There's 91 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: hundreds and hundreds of people in that thing off to 92 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: the side there, so they needed to diversify their snacks though. 93 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: I felt like they were chocolate heavy and maybe like 94 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: chips and stuff like that. But I felt sick anytime 95 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: I went over to the snack table. Yeah, well that's 96 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: snack table. That's a whole different thing. You mentioned this 97 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: last week, and it was. It was crazy. It was 98 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: like being at Costco, but they only had M and M's. 99 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: They were like TwixT bars. There's a lot of different 100 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: candy products. There was like big packages of gum, lots 101 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: of soda soda out of the ass. Yeah, there was 102 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 1: plenty of that and it was all lined up behind 103 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: off to the side. You had to, like, I didn't 104 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: know where it was. You told me, Danny, you gave 105 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: me the treasure map, and you told me like where 106 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: to go to get all the stuff, and and it 107 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: was it was great. I mean the water was great 108 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 1: to have the bottled water. That was good. Yeah, the 109 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: other stuff. Back in my big eating days, I would 110 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: have loved that. I would have grabbed like a big 111 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: five pound bag and M and M and M and Amazon. 112 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,559 Speaker 1: I would just eating it. I would have been gone 113 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: for it and all that stuff. But and and and 114 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: also point out that the the security, I felt like 115 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: I was at the Pentagon when I had to walk 116 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: into different rooms and I had to like flash my 117 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: my badge all the different layers of security, which was 118 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: really funny. When I was doing the Overnight Show and 119 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: I was the most protected man in the history of radio, 120 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: I felt like Rush Limbaugh or Howard Stern because I 121 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: was only the only person in that entire hall, that 122 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: convention center in Phoenix, and at every door, and there 123 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: were a bunch of doors, there were multiple security guards. 124 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: There were police officers like dudes with guns like just 125 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: wandering around and all of it. For me, Danny, I 126 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: felt like the most important guy in radio that here 127 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: I am in the middle of the night at this 128 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: lazy convention center. Everyone else is sleeping and non stop, 129 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: NonStop security. No one was gonna mess with me. No, no, 130 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: these people would have taken a bullet for me, Danny. Normally, 131 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: those fine folks would have been in their warm bed sleeping. 132 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: How do you feel about the fact that you made 133 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: them all stay up throughout the night. No. I was 134 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: told that they were there all like every day, that 135 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: they had to be there, like the guard, the equipment. 136 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,239 Speaker 1: They were probably were lying. The other thing I noticed 137 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: doing the overnight show was how annoyed there were only 138 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: a few East Coast morning shows. There was a show 139 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: from Philly Boomer as Siasin was there for the w 140 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: f And show, and there was I think Toucher and Rich. 141 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: I didn't see Toucher and Rich. I those are the 142 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: guys that follow our show in Boston on the Sports Hub, 143 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: and I wanted to meet I wanted to meet Toucher. 144 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: I think he was. He was there and unfortunately I 145 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: couldn't find him. I got a weird look from Boomer 146 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: as Siasin's producer. It seemed like the guys were kind 147 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: of annoyed that I was there because I hadn't been 148 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: there all week, and they came in and I was 149 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: like barking and screaming and all that stuff. Brian Billy, 150 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: Brian Billick. So it seemed like they were annoyed by that. 151 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 1: They were they were bothered by that. I was also 152 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: annoyed that the NFL would not allow regular people into 153 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: Radio Row because last year there were there were a 154 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: regular like fans that got to walk around and see 155 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: what was going on, and we were totally segregated from 156 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 1: everyone else. I didn't like that. Yeah, there were fans 157 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 1: standing outside the convention Center holding footballs and pens and 158 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: hoping they would get a glimpse of superstars to sign 159 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: their memorabilia. And you're right. There usually would be a 160 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: fan Day or a v I P Day where they 161 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: would parade a couple hundred fans through the radio Row. 162 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: They can't blame it on COVID when they did it 163 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: once last year, somebody tried giving me the COVID excuse, 164 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, give me a break now, Well, 165 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: you know what they say, and this this works for 166 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: anything the rest of our lives. Danny out of an 167 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: abundance of caution. You say that, who's gonna question, right, 168 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: an abundance of caution, I've decided to not wipe my ass. Well, okay, 169 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know about it's a caution. Maybe 170 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: he's got bad toilet paper or something like that. I 171 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: don't know. But I was pumped out because I had 172 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: this in my head. When I got the word that 173 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 1: we were gonna be doing I was gonna be doing 174 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: the Overnight Show. I was like, all right, this is cool, 175 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: Like I can I can meet some of the big 176 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,439 Speaker 1: fans of the show that live in Phoenix are happening 177 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: to be at the super Bowl, and I was like, 178 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: all right, this is exciting. And then I showed up 179 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: and I found out no one was allowed in and 180 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: even if you bought money for the n or you 181 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: paid money for the NFL experience, you could still not 182 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 1: be part of it. And I was like, that that 183 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: kind of stupid. That's that's kind of I know. Dominican 184 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: Mike was in town. Doc Mike was very upset, and 185 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: several other p ones. Your boy Sean was really upset 186 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: that he couldn't hang out with you, and uh Lee, 187 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: who's famous on the show. He doesn't work overnight anymore. 188 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: But Lee used to work at a quickie mart in 189 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: Phoenix and he wanted to meet me and I it 190 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,040 Speaker 1: was been cool to hang out with everybody brand and 191 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: some of these other guys, but uh, the NFL security 192 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: stone walling my fine plans to hang out with people, 193 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: and and then I was like, well, I'll do a 194 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: last minute Mallard meet and greed, but those never really 195 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: go well because people need more notice and that usually 196 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: doesn't work. But then I got called in because I 197 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: had to work an extra show on Friday after we 198 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: were done podcasting, and that actually led to a scavenger hunt, Danny, 199 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: that I must get into. Now, this is a podcast exclusive. 200 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 1: No one else has this content. Let's have Marcel tweeked 201 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: this out. Yeah, this is a global exclusive. This is 202 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: almost as big as when Marcel let the world know 203 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 1: the Titanic had crashed and no one else had reported 204 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: that on radio because radio did not exist when the 205 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: Titanic crashed. On Friday, I was asked by the boss 206 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: to do a bonus show. Now, Danny, I don't think 207 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: I had much wiggo room to get out of this, right, 208 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: because they they invited me to come to the super Bowl, 209 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: so I kind of had to play along, right. Yeah. 210 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: So not only did we do the podcasting, we did, 211 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: you know, a bunch of podcasts, and after that wrapped up, 212 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: you immediately went on the air with Covino and Rich 213 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 1: to do that show. So I headed over to Marley's 214 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: Sports bar in downtown Phoenix. Now it was lunchtime, it 215 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: was late in the afternoon, and I was like, okay, 216 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: this is kind of cool. I had heard about Marley's 217 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: when I'd watched Suns games on the satellite or listen 218 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: to them on the radio feed thunder Dan Martley. This 219 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: place has been around for a long time. Dan Marley 220 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: played for the Suns in the nineties. That's a long 221 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: time ago. So I figured this place must be really good. 222 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 1: It's been around that long. I mean, holy crap, this 223 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: must be like the greatest sports bar around. Most of 224 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: these places don't last that long. So I told the 225 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: wife who was with him, as let's go to Marley's. 226 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: It's right across the street. This is great. Thunder Dan. 227 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:06,719 Speaker 1: You know, she had no idea who that is. She 228 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: is not a sports fan. She give a rats ask 229 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: who Dan Marley is. Uh, I gotta tell you. I don't. 230 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: Did you eat there, Danny? Did you? Okay? Not impressed? 231 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: Not not impressed. I was disappointed. I was expecting more. 232 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 1: I think this place has been around for thirty years. 233 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: I got the chicken fingers and fries and it wasn't bad, 234 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 1: but it felt like they bought it and they just 235 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: kind of put it in the microwave or something like, 236 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 1: you know, they bought it a Costco. They bought a 237 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: big bag of chicken fingers and just put in it. 238 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: And the ambiance was pretty cool. There was a good 239 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,719 Speaker 1: vibe going. The food was not good. So on the 240 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: Mallard Food Review restaurant review one to ten, I'm gonna 241 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,559 Speaker 1: give it a three. Marley's gets a three. And maybe 242 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: it was just a bad day because there were a 243 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: lot of people. The place was packed because of the 244 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I enjoyed the ambiance. It seemed like a 245 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: cool place to hang out, but the food sucked. And 246 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: I mean that's kind of the most important thing at 247 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 1: a restaurant, the food. Am I wrong in that? Danny? 248 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: Is that a bad take by me? Because I don't 249 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: think that's a bad take. I think that's the propertake. No, 250 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: I mean, unless it's just known as a bar, but 251 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: this is a restaurant, right, Well, it is a restaurant. Bar, 252 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: it's a sports bar, but I think restaurant you've been 253 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: around a long time. Yeah, it's not like some dirty, 254 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: damp bar right where it's just a bunch of bar 255 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: stools and pool tables. Well, and that's a great location 256 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: because you've got the Diamondbacks Stadium on one side a 257 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: couple of blocks away, and then on the other side 258 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: you've got the Son's Arena all of downtown Phoenix right there. 259 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: So it's if you're a sports bar, where where would 260 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: you rather be than between a basketball arena and a 261 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: baseball stadium? Although who's going to Diamondback games these days? Uh? 262 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: They blow and uh the suns are good and everyone 263 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: was all excited because of Kevin Durant trading. But but anyway, 264 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: so that was my my lunch experience. So then we 265 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: headed back to Radio Row for the odd couple. We 266 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: had a production meeting, something that I have not done 267 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: in many years, a production meeting with the producer before 268 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: the show to go over the show. This is this 269 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: is foreign to me, Danny. I'm not used to this. Normally, 270 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: I just show up and turn the mic on and 271 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: that's it. Um. We had to pre record a couple 272 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: of things for the show and do that kind of stuff. 273 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: But wrong Button. Bob, my old producer from the show 274 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: The Overnight Show, is producing The Odd Couple, so it's 275 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: great to see him. And I was in for Chris Broussard, 276 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: who was off on assignment doing television. So I was 277 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: told I would only be on for an hour with 278 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: the Great Rob Parker, and we went over a bunch 279 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: of topics. We were spitballing topics and whatnot, and supposed 280 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: to be sixty minutes, I ended up doing an extra 281 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: thirty minutes of content because I was told that Chris 282 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: was running a little late. We had we had Aiden 283 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: Hutchinson on. I heard you guys ripping Lebron James. Rob 284 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: despises he absolutely despises the Lions. So he was goofing 285 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: on the Lions with Aiden Hutchison of the Lions, who 286 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: did admit, I'll give him credit, he did admit even 287 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: though he's a Michigan boy, he grew up in Michigan, 288 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: does not did not grow up a Lions fan. Right 289 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: there in the in the belly of the beast down 290 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: there and he now he plays for the hometown team, 291 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: which ruins the story Danny the the ready made boiler 292 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: plate story. Hometown kid plays for childhood favorite team, leads 293 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: them to the super Bowl. No, uh, he might lead 294 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: them to the super Bowl someday, but that was not 295 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: his childhood team at all. Uh in any way, so 296 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: that was cool. And then you know, I did the 297 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: thirty minutes and when that ended, it was on like 298 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: Donkey Kong. Radio role was being torn apart at that point, 299 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: as the Friday night people were leaving, people are running 300 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: to the airport, a lot of radio dudes scrambling to 301 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: get to their flights to get back to god only 302 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: knows where. And as the demolition of radio rose taking place, 303 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,719 Speaker 1: myself and Rob Party not Brussard's there, but me and 304 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: Rob Parker decide to team up. We got together in 305 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: a long segment and went on a scavenger hunt around 306 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: around around I handed god, am I making this up? 307 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: By the way, So we were looking around because because 308 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: Bob Gara had pointed out, hey, it's Friday night and 309 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: a lot of people leave stuff behind because they're they're 310 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: in a rush to get to the airport. There's stuff 311 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: they can't take on the plane with them, and so 312 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,719 Speaker 1: that of course perked my interest up. And Rob Parker, 313 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: who loves a deal more than me, Uh, you know, 314 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: we're both cut out of the same cloth on that. 315 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: We're you know, tight wads, and so Rob got all 316 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: excited and we were we were running around, we were 317 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: going from table to table. Was it was radio road 318 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: being torn down. Me and Rob were going around and 319 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: we're picking up all the goodies that people that left behind. It. 320 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: Did you find Jim Rome's workout gloves? I found Jim 321 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: Jim Rome's hair, Jael I found some of that that 322 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 1: was off off to the side. Uh, that was that 323 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 1: was pretty neat. I think Boomer Siason left an old 324 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: pair of Bengals underwear that he had worn. But I 325 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: mean it was just it was there was a lot 326 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: of crap, a lot of stuff that we didn't want. 327 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: But one man's trash is another man's treasure. And I 328 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: actually scored multiple hats that people that left behind. Rob 329 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: did also, and it's great. These are for like media 330 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: companies that I've never heard of that are trying to 331 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: get their name out and it's great because these hats 332 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: are the kind of hats when you go to the 333 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: gym or you work out or summertime. Who gives a 334 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: ship if they get all sweaty because they're free hats. 335 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter when they get all nasty, you can 336 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: just throw them away. And then at the at the 337 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: very end, we then hit the stash of candy and 338 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: chips and water and we loaded up. I took one 339 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: of those big bags, you know, the big bags of 340 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: M and M's five pound bag and M and M's 341 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: I grabbed that, and there were a bunch of other 342 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: like chips, random chips and stuff. And but I thought 343 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 1: we did pretty well. We made out like bandits considering 344 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 1: we only walked around. It was like a ten minute 345 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: treasure hunt. We walked around there, and so we've got 346 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: a couple of workout hats and can andy, chips, some water. 347 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: The water was not a good idea. We took a 348 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: lot of water. But then we realized when you go 349 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: to the airport, even if it's sealed, they don't let 350 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: you take the water, so you're screwed. So we donated 351 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: the water. We took it to the airport and we 352 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: donated the water to the some charity at the airport. 353 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 1: Or whether they're gonna give it to people that are 354 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: down on their luck, Danny, so they'll get And actually 355 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: I think they said the charity the airport gives the 356 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: water to is for people migrants that are like I 357 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: guess they die out in the Arizona desert because there's 358 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 1: no water out there, you know, they cross over from Mexico. 359 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: I just gave him the water to do what you 360 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: want with it. I'm good with that. That was your 361 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,719 Speaker 1: good deed. It was really the NFL that gave me 362 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: the water, and then I passed it forward. So it's 363 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: the NFL's good deed. And what do you think happened 364 00:20:55,359 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: to the rest of that? They were still palettes in water, 365 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 1: Like what happens to that? For next year's radio? Well, yeah, 366 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: those M and m's will last nuclear war. Those M 367 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: and m's go forever, man. Yeah, those in the gum 368 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 1: the chips would probably be the only thing slightly stale. 369 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: That is a fair point. So looking back at the 370 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: week that was at the super Bowl, there was one 371 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: other story that I have and I know you've got 372 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: some stories as well, but there's one other story I 373 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: wanted to give, and we were gonna give this on 374 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: the Sunday podcast, but unfortunately we had a bunch of 375 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: great interviews and we ran out of time. So I'm 376 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 1: gonna call this one the heisman. So I mentioned the 377 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 1: hotel issues that myself and the wife had. We were 378 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: in a demilitarized zone. It was like Camp Fallujah. It 379 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: was just brutal the original hotel. So we had a 380 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: scramble to find another hotel. And this is at the 381 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 1: very last minute. Hotel rates are going through the roof, 382 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: and the company was actually pretty cool. They realized that 383 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: we probably should not have put mallar up any demilitarized zone. 384 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: It's unsafe. So we were able to cancel the reservation. 385 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: You probably remember that. And then my wife scrambled to 386 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: find a new hotel, and considering all the stuff going 387 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: on in Phoenix with that big golf tournament, to waste 388 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 1: management tournament and Super Bowl, easier said than done. She 389 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: was able to track down this boutique hotel near downtown, 390 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: so that problem was solved kind of. So we check 391 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: into this hotel. We get to this hotel, my wife's like, hey, 392 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: good news, this is a cannabis free hotel, she says, 393 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,360 Speaker 1: And that was kind of random. I was like, why 394 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: would there be a cannabi Why would somebody promote their 395 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: cannabis free hotel? That doesn't make any sense. But I 396 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 1: was like, okay, whatever, I was in a hurry. And uh, 397 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: it turns out, Danny that my wife, in her haste 398 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: to read the sign, let's just say she was a 399 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: little bit off. This was actually a cannabis friendly hotel, 400 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: not a cannabis free hotel. Uh, the complete opposite. She 401 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: had misread it. And uh and so this was like 402 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: a weed smoker's paradise, smoke weed. No, you were so 403 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: chill on Friday. I know, I was ready mellow. The 404 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 1: hotel transformed super a weekend. They had signs in in 405 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 1: the in the in the in the lobby of the 406 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: hotel Cannabis Capital. It read, and they had another sign 407 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 1: that said fourth and twenty. I'm gonna send this to 408 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 1: you just so I I can show you that I'm 409 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: not I'm not making this up. But it was the 410 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: Heisman thing that got my attention. Okay, because this is hilarious. 411 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: Not only is it the can of his capital. They 412 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,439 Speaker 1: had the invite only party all weekend long, dubbed Fourth 413 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 1: Hotel Takeover. They had a meet and greet mixer. There 414 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: was a Madden qualifying event. I guess you could smoke 415 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: the weed and play Madden. But the star of the show, 416 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: Danny the star the star of the show, Josh Gordon. No, 417 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 1: that would have been good. This guy also pretty good. 418 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: They dubbed it fourth and twenty the Hotel Takeover Ricky 419 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: Williams really Williams picture from the text you just sent me, 420 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: just sent you. That was in the lobby, Danny. That's 421 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 1: what we saw on the lobby. And if you look 422 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 1: at the very bottom, they have the names of the 423 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: different companies that are part of this event. And if 424 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: you'll notice at the very top of that bottom part, 425 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: it says Heisman. I believe that's Ricky Williams Weed Company, 426 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: which is brilliant, the former Heisman Trophy winner. Of course 427 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:11,400 Speaker 1: this is spelled a little differently, Danny. You notice H, I, G, H, S, 428 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: M A and Heisman with Ricky Williams. They had a 429 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: d had a pool party right in the middle of hotel. 430 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: They had a DJ. There was a guy and I 431 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 1: got a little confused by this, Danny. There was a 432 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: guy dubbed weed Mann I Love you, but it didn't 433 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: look anything like our weed Man. This guy had tights 434 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,719 Speaker 1: on and he was like the DJ. He was at 435 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: the DJ, so instead of Superman, it was weed Man, Like, yeah, 436 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: I get you. Did he have a did you have 437 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,959 Speaker 1: a green cape? No? He had like green and white 438 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 1: tights on. He did have a cape. I don't think 439 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: that it was green though, I don't know what color 440 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: the the cape was so that this music was like blasting. 441 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: It was while everyone's having a good time and all that, 442 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 1: and um, it was quite quite the scene at the 443 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 1: at the hotel, and and people were like, we were 444 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: getting a lot of uber and lift rides around Phoenix 445 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: and we get dropped at the hotel and every one, 446 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: what's going on at your hotel? What is nothing? Nothing 447 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: at all? You know, it's just just a random Friday 448 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: or Saturday. That's all. Just a couple of kids having 449 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,360 Speaker 1: a grand old time. Why is there a banner outside 450 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: your hotel that says I supply, Oh yeah, it's uh, 451 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 1: it's funny. I got in the elevator. I'll show you 452 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 1: this to Danie. I'll send this to you here. And 453 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: I saw I saw this in the elevator. Okay, that's good. 454 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 1: There you go. I'll get you excited. Your hotel sounds 455 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: way more fun than mine. Well, you were probably staying 456 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: right near the convention center. We were. We were pretty, 457 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: you know, a decent drive away, so we right. I 458 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: see a poster. It says, I want you to get 459 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: High House Elevations Lounge. And there's a football player and it 460 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: it looks like a bunch of smoke behind the Yeah, 461 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: he's got a he's got one of those visors on 462 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 1: his helmet and that's the only thing that's lit up wrong. 463 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: How much money do you think Ricky Williams is making 464 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: from this? He must be getting filthy rich off this, right, Yeah, Well, 465 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 1: we know Tyson has made a ton of money from 466 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: his crops and his ranch. He has different products out, 467 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: so I'm guessing Ricky Williams has made a nice little 468 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,880 Speaker 1: living off of his companies. He was the first well 469 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 1: known athlete to do it. Yeah. I had a friend 470 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: of mine, casual friend, who was an NBA broadcaster. This 471 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 1: is probably five, six, seven years ago now, and he 472 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,919 Speaker 1: had been an NBA radio and television commentator for a 473 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: local team. He left that job he got a weed 474 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: license in the state of Oregon. And this guy played 475 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: in the end. He wasn't a star in the NBA. 476 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: He played. He was a role player, bench player, but 477 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: he played like seven or eight years in the NBA. 478 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: So he made a decent amount of money. He told me. 479 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: Within the first year and a half doing the weed, 480 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: he made more money than he had made his entire 481 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:26,360 Speaker 1: career in the NBA. It's nuts, absolutely nuts, man. The guy, 482 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 1: it said, was like like a licensed money because he 483 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: was one of the first people in that state to 484 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 1: get one of these licenses. And remember how excited people were. 485 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 1: They didn't have to go to the underground to get 486 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: their weed. They could just, you know, go to the 487 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: If you're in a weed friendly state, you could go 488 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: down to a you know establishment and you didn't be 489 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: shady about it, or even if you were, you could 490 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: get a medical card pretty easy and then go to 491 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: the dispensary and and get it from somebody with a 492 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: license like that. Yeah, exactly, um so.

You know, he's kind of getting up there 526 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: in age, he's older than I am. I can probably 527 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: catch up with him now. No. I mean, he bounced 528 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: off the Caveno Enriched stage and then he just kind 529 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: of slid, he glided, and all these people, all these 530 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: losers like me, are trying to get a photo with him, 531 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: and he just cruised into the V I P section 532 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: where we were not allowed. And that's how he did it. 533 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: It's a solid move. And I also noticed like behind 534 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: our stage there was a walkway and a lot of 535 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: like Emmett Smith came out of that walk was it 536 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: seemed it wasn't like off limits, but a lot of 537 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: people didn't know about it, and so it seemed like 538 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: some of the bigger names were walking in the back 539 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: there in the hedges that's where we saw Darren Waller 540 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: passed by as we were broadcasting anything else.

As I walked to the hotel, you know, 596 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: it was hard in the downtown area because there was 597 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,320 Speaker 1: really cheap food like taco stands, and then there was 598 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 1: really fancy restaurants, like you feel like you needed a jacket. Finally, 599 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 1: I saw some cops inside a Mexican restaurant and if 600 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: the local police are in there. You know it must 601 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,920 Speaker 1: be one of their hangout spots. The food's gotta be decent. 602 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 1: So I get some tacos and enchilada, get the combination 603 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 1: plate to go.

I'm gonna just scan my phone on one 608 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,400 Speaker 1: of these Lime scooters. Take your camera, you scan the 609 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: little barcode, it starts up, the light comes on. How 610 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: much does this cost these scooters? I've never been on 611 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,319 Speaker 1: one of these scooters? What does the cost? It's a 612 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 1: really good deal. It's eight dollars a minute US tacks. Well, 613 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 1: you know, the thing in Phoenix is all those minor 614 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: league stadiums. I've I've heard this from a million sports writers, like, 615 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: if you ever rent a car in Phoenix, you don't 616 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 1: want to do it at Sky Harbor Airport because that's 617 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,360 Speaker 1: where they put all the taxes to pay for the 618 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 1: minor league stadiums, and so you have to go outside. 619 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 1: So I I assume outside the airport, but I assume 620 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,720 Speaker 1: everything like that that's how they make all their money 621 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,800 Speaker 1: back for these stadiums, and they jack up the price 622 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: for these scooters and all that other stuff. Yeah, and 623 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,399 Speaker 1: and by the way, I'm still a little bit under 624 00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,879 Speaker 1: the weather. And I think I got sick on this night, Ben, 625 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: because as you know, it was pretty cold out on 626 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 1: some of the nights there in Phoenix. It's a people 627 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: and as you know from a previous episode of The 628 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 1: Fifth Hour, Danny, those scooters have more germs on them 629 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: than I'm not kidding, like they've done studies that for 630 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, the Neanderthals that use those scooters on 631 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 1: the regular do not wash their hands, and God only 632 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: knows where their hands go, and they're disgusting. I remembered 633 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,399 Speaker 1: you talking about that on the podcast. So I had 634 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: my hand sanitizer. Okay, it's like four dollars to get 635 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:41,359 Speaker 1: the scooters started, and then it's like I think it said, 636 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:45,239 Speaker 1: forty cents for every minute afterwards. It's not that far 637 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 1: off a ride at this point, I've already walked halfway 638 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 1: looking for food. I just my legs are tired. I'm 639 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: a little tired. I need to get the other half 640 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,239 Speaker 1: in on this scooter. So I'm jamming down the street bend. 641 00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 1: I look like a local. I'm weaving in and out 642 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,879 Speaker 1: of the people who are going to the NFL Fan Experience, 643 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 1: and I'm like, suckers, I'm popping Wheelie's up curbs. I 644 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,879 Speaker 1: get to the hotel problem. When I try to turn 645 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,880 Speaker 1: the scooter off, it says I'm in a prohibited area 646 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: of the city. I cannot park the scooter there. Oh no. 647 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 1: And I'm like, you gotta be effing kidding me, man. 648 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 1: So it shows like this little map, almost like a GPS. 649 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,799 Speaker 1: So I have to find a dumb street now where 650 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,920 Speaker 1: I can put the scooter on a corner. I finally 651 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 1: find that and have wasted time now and money. There's 652 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,959 Speaker 1: other ones on a corner. I park it right next 653 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,719 Speaker 1: to another Lime scooter. I'm like, all right, now, it's 654 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,360 Speaker 1: gonna be like a little bit of a walk to 655 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 1: the hotel. But I'm cool. I can park this thing 656 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 1: and get rid of it. Scan it to turn off 657 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: the ride.

And I was like, 673 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,720 Speaker 1: you gotta be f and kidding me. Now at this point, 674 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 1: my food is cold. I'm pissed. I'm I'm sitting there 675 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 1: on the curb and in my mind I'm thinking about 676 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:09,920 Speaker 1: Coveno and Rich sitting at a nice steak dinner, and 677 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 1: I like, how the hell did I just get lined 678 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,800 Speaker 1: on my last night here in Phoenix. Finally this freaking 679 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,239 Speaker 1: thing turns itself off because it said that I had 680 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 1: it parked for so many minutes. It was idle for 681 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 1: too long, so they were going to automatically turn it off. Okay, Yeah, 682 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 1: I had to send an email to the company, back 683 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 1: and forth emails all week long while I'm back at home. 684 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,719 Speaker 1: Then they still have not taken that big charge off 685 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 1: of my debit. Well, just expensive to the company, Danny. 686 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:42,680 Speaker 1: I'm sure the company will take care of it, right, 687 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,439 Speaker 1: they put that expense account. Nothing to worry about. Yes, 688 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,319 Speaker 1: Scott would look at this and be like, why was 689 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 1: this writing around on a scooter for an hour? You 690 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 1: spent two hundred dollars on a scooter? What are you talking? 691 00:39:56,440 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 1: Got a hotel room for that? What's wrong with you? You? Oop? 692 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 1: That's I. Before we forget, I just I wanted to 693 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,319 Speaker 1: add one last thing here. So I also went to 694 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 1: my first Super Bowl party. Rob Parker got me into 695 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 1: a Friday night Super Bowl party. V I p status 696 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 1: at the party? Were you popping bottles? It was all right. 697 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:24,360 Speaker 1: I was expecting it to be a little more lavish. 698 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,799 Speaker 1: I I don't know what I thought in my head, 699 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: but I didn't expect it to be what it was. 700 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,360 Speaker 1: It was good. I had a good time. The wife 701 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:32,799 Speaker 1: she had a good time. It was fun. We showed 702 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,000 Speaker 1: up a little late, and um, they had like food 703 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,360 Speaker 1: trucks and they had people walking around with a different 704 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,600 Speaker 1: little finger foods and things like that. And they did 705 00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,440 Speaker 1: have the open bar because we were v I P. 706 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 1: So that was cool. But that was one so I 707 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,120 Speaker 1: can check that off my bucket list. I've now been 708 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 1: to a super Bowl party. Who it used to be 709 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 1: one of our listeners, and I doubt she's still around 710 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,279 Speaker 1: as a listener, was still alive, but every year she 711 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 1: would send me the same email. This is back in 712 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,759 Speaker 1: the early two thousand's. She was a party planner. She 713 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:08,440 Speaker 1: was looking for quasi celebrities to host super Bowl parties, 714 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,280 Speaker 1: and she'd always eave me, are you gonna be in Atlanta? 715 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 1: Are you gonna be in Miami or New Orleans or 716 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,520 Speaker 1: San Diego or whoever the super Bowl was? And every 717 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,759 Speaker 1: year I'd read back, no, I'm not going to be there, 718 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 1: and she's always like, well, we'll have a party. We'll 719 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:22,600 Speaker 1: have you as the headline or on the party. And 720 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,799 Speaker 1: it now that I'm actually going to these things, I 721 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,000 Speaker 1: have no one to throw the party.
