Speaker 1: Kutbooms.

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4

Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,639
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to Clearinghouse of

Speaker 1: In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with me, Ben

10
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: Mallor and Danny G. Happy Saturday to you, a college

11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: football Saturday, a baseball Divisional Round Saturday, and Danny G

12
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: is alongside as we navigate the early part of the day.

13
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: But people listen to those podcasts whenever they want to

14
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: listen to this podcast, Danny, So we're here early, but

15
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: we're here whenever you want. The magic of podcast the

16
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: beauty of podcasting.

17
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is a Yamamoto kind of Saturday. Yes, live

18
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 3: up to that money. You didn't earn your money during

19
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 3: the regular season, so earn your money in the playoffs,

20
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 3: and all past sins will be forgiven.

21
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 4: Right.

22
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: Just the parrot what you did when you pitched in Japan,

23
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: and do that in the playoffs here and there will

24
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: be a monsoon of Dodger winns. So I've done the

25
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: math on this, and as long as Yamamoto and Flaherty

26
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: pitch well, the Dodgers should play in the Nation League

27
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: Championship Series right now. The other problem is the bullpen,

28
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to rotate eight million pitchers and

29
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna have to be right. But that's every team

30
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: in baseball. Every team plays the same way. It's like

31
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: the other day, I was watching the Mets and the Brewers, right,

32
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: and one day it's the Mets reliever who doesn't have

33
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: it and deliver the pitch. It blows the game and

34
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: so the Brewers win. Then the next day, well, I

35
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: actually both pitched. The Mets had a guy that didn't

36
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: pitch well, and then the Brewer guy said, hold my beer.

37
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: He went out there and he was scrambling around. It

38
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: was a disaster. So but it's fine. Playoff baseball is

39
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: always always cool, and we're allowed to talk baseball more

40
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: when the playoffs are going on, and we're not normally

41
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: a baseball during the regular season because it's boring and

42
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: the players are boring, and it's.

43
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 3: Going to say as an on air producer, I always

44
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 3: get kind of fidgety whenever Covino and Rich talk too

45
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 3: much baseball, because in my mind, I feel like people

46
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 3: are tuning out.

47
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I limited, and if you say, if you

48
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: were designing a pie, like what goes into the pie?

49
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: What kind of ingredients? It's you know, the pies. The

50
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: pies mostly NFL, and then but depending on what else

51
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: is going on, like there's a big personality in the

52
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: other like back basketball, we'll talk about that, but the baseball.

53
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: I was actually talking to a buddy mine that does

54
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: radio back East, and we were discussing and he likes baseball.

55
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: He's kind of around my age and our age, and

56
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: he grew up loving baseball, and he's like baseball as

57
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: an industry does not. I don't know what the right

58
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: word I'm looking for is, but they just don't supply

59
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: the content that would provide great sports bait, great sports conversation.

60
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: Just not a lot of meat on the bone. Now,

61
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: in the playoffs it happens organically, but during the regular

62
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: season there's just not a lot there.

63
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: Football, no matter college, mostly NFL. Of course, it's compelling

64
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 3: to the listeners, Baseball not so much, but in small doses.

65
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: But even college football, it's got to be there's only

66
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: about ten to twenty programs that you can get away

67
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: with talking.

68
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 4: About coaches in drama.

69
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's everything, But that's the thing like baseball,

70
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: there's not a lot oft We saw a couple of

71
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: stories this week that I thought were good sports radio stories.

72
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: One involved a team that has no fans other than

73
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: my guy, Marlin's Man, where the owner came in there

74
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: and went scorched earth and just napalmed. Everybody got fired,

75
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 1: seventy staffers, he filed, He fired the guy that cleans

76
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: the jockstraps, because clearly it was that guy's fault that

77
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: the Marlins had a bad team on the field, and

78
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: the traveling secretary who booked the hotels and all that

79
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: he got, like, I mean, the whole thing. So like

80
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: that was I found that amusing. And the Padres trying

81
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: to block the dogs and which is such a bush league.

82
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: They do it every year. It's so bush league, and

83
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: they they're so stupid.

84
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,039
Speaker 3: Why do they do the day a bunch of b

85
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 3: trying to block the blue out of their stadium.

86
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,239
Speaker 1: You're just going to motivate more Dodger fans to spend

87
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: three hours driving just around San Clemente and Santao free

88
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: to get to San Diego. And you're just gonna annoy them.

89
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: But it's a futile effort, Danny. If a Dodger fan

90
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: wants to go, the podre fan has proven they will

91
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: sell their tickets and they have this thing called the

92
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: secondary market. And one thing I know about my Dodger fans,

93
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: they are not afraid to spend their money on tickets.

94
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: They will spend their money to get into these ballparks. Yes,

95
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: So on this podcast we have the monk Man, sad Doggies,

96
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: no parking, no peace, Pop goes to the culture. You

97
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: got the idiom of the week. I had a lot

98
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: to get to, but we'll start with this. So Buddhist

99
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: monk taking a valve silence. We've all heard that phrase.

100
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: I would assume at one point or another, a Buddhist

101
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: monk taking a valve silence. Now, I canceled last weekend

102
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: all of my plans, all of my plans, in an

103
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: effort to recover from my purple burned tongue. My purple

104
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: tongue for burning my tongue eating food too fast, and

105
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: then reinjuring it pretty much every day. So I was

106
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: usually go out with the wife, we do stuff. I said,

107
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: I can't do anything. My mouth, Yeah, it's all messed up.

108
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: And then I was going to watch some football. We

109
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: were going to pick our college game and we do

110
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: this everyone my gambling buddy, and we load up on

111
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: the game, go big on the game, and then we

112
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: you know, I make I'll make like cheese steak or

113
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: pizza or something like that, have a cheat meal, and

114
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: we'll bet a lot of money on the game. And

115
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: he come over and it's just a lot of fun.

116
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: But I said, I can't do that all because of

117
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: my tongue. Daddy, that's how messed even I did. This

118
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: podcast was so messed up.

119
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 4: Man, did you try the peroxide?

120
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: I did try the side uh, and I felt like

121
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: it helped my wife. So we shouldn't be doing that

122
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: that whole thing. But I didn't die, Yeah, but not die.

123
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: But she's all good whatever. But she reads everyone reads

124
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: everything on the internet. Who knows what what's not? So anyway,

125
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: the I call me monkman mallor like a Buddhist monk.

126
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: And I read that the Buddhist monk they meditate and

127
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: they have the valve silence. It's part of their spiritual practice,

128
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: and it's to deepen their understanding of themselves, their relationship

129
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: with the world, and that valve silence. It's a discipline

130
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: of the mind. And I want to point out I

131
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: did not have any of that. I do not have

132
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: a better understanding of myself. I do not have a

133
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: better understanding of the world. I have anger that I

134
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: couldn't really eat anything good, and also anger that I

135
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: was so stupid that I burned my tongue because I

136
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: ate too fast and I didn't let the food cool

137
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: down like I'm a child, and it pisses me off,

138
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: which is almost as bad. Now, I will say, Nanny,

139
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: side by side, side by side. The time a couple

140
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: of years ago, I think I was working with you

141
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: when I bit my tongue.

142
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I remember that.

143
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: That was much worse. So if you have to choose

144
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: between burning your tongue, I could still somewhat function and

145
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: pretend like I was not injured. But I could not

146
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: do that. When I bit my tongue, I sounded like

147
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: Lou Holtz and it was really bad. And that, as

148
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: I point out, one of the great things that I've

149
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: learned doing this job. Overnight, Danny is I can have laryngitis,

150
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: I can have a lisp because I bit my tongue,

151
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 1: and no one says, hey, Ben, you might want to

152
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 1: take the night off. No, No, nobody said up saying

153
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: I just keep doing it, just keep doing the show.

154
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: It's awesome. It is so fun that no one, no

155
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: one cares. It's just amazing.

156
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 3: But are you saying our supervisor aren't up in the

157
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 3: middle of the night listening to you.

158
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just saying, even if they're not, they might

159
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: hear the promos of me sounding like Lou Holtz at

160
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: Notre Dame back in like nineteen, you know, eighty whatever.

161
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: But anyway, I digress.

162
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 3: That part kills me. There's a promo I don't think

163
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 3: it plays anymore. Finally, but there was a long standing

164
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 3: promo of you on the network and you could tell

165
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: that you have a cold.

166
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah yeah.

167
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 3: And I'm like, that's the one clip they find of

168
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 3: Malord that it used to run like, I don't know,

169
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 3: I'd hear it like once a day.

170
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, well even last week. Coop will come in and

171
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: he'll throw He's like, hey, we got to record these spots.

172
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: You know, he'll throw me commercials and I'm like, my

173
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: tongue is killing me. It sound terrible. And also when

174
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: I don't get sick very often, I've been pretty lucky.

175
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: With the garlic stuff that I do, I usually avoid

176
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 1: any major illness. I'll probably get very sick now because

177
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: I said that, I'll jinx myself. But I've been pretty

178
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: lucky to last ap years in terms of cold flu stuff,

179
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: COVID whatever. And but inevitably, the few times I have

180
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: gotten sick have been during periods of the time where

181
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: we have to record a lot of commercials and then

182
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: those things play for three or four months, and it's

183
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: every time I hear them, I'm like, oh god, this

184
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: is so bad. I get sad, but I'm not a

185
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: sad doggie. I'm not a sad doggie, Danny, I'm not.

186
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, a quick tip of the microphone to you, Ben.

187
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 3: You gave me and my oldest pair of Raider tickets

188
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 3: for last weekend.

189
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad you were able to use my I

190
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: know a guy who knows a guy who knows a

191
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: guy who knows a guy. Yes, I know you love

192
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,599
Speaker 1: the Raiders, and I obviously couldn't go, and I'm not

193
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: ram fan anyway, and I wanted to. I wanted to

194
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: make sure you got to at least one Raider game

195
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: this year, and you were able to. You were in

196
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: I know you've been there before. How was this experience though?

197
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 3: Noah, So the last game I went to, the first

198
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 3: game I attended ever at the Death Star was the

199
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 3: classic Chandler Jones game where Mac Jones got trampled by him. Yeah,

200
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 3: stiff arm with the Patriots making the bad decisions there

201
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 3: at the very end of the game that would have

202
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 3: went to overtime instead, as you remember, the Raiders walk off.

203
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 3: So that game finished on the final play in spectacular fashion,

204
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 3: and you still will see replays once in a while

205
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 3: people say, probably the best Raiders game so far in

206
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 3: that stadium. How can I trump that? You fired billions

207
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 3: and billions and billions. I'm like, all right, so we're

208
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 3: going to drive. Do the stop in Barstow for breakfast

209
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 3: del Taco?

210
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: What chain restaurant did you go to in Barstow?

211
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 4: Used the McDonald's that's in the train cars?

212
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: They Oh, yeah, classic McDonald's. Is the Panda Express still there?

213
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 4: It is? Yeah, that route sixty six.

214
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 3: There is interesting, you know, because half of it is

215
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 3: abandoned and the other half is crowded.

216
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they have every shain restaurant you There's a

217
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: Freddy's if you want smash Burgers they have. I've driven

218
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: to Vega. I don't fly to because I'm a pretty

219
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: drive every time, so I know all the desert spots.

220
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: There's Peggy Sus Diner if you want.

221
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 4: I thought of you when I passed Peggy SU's hermo's.

222
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: You thought of Eddie when you saw Eddie World, which

223
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: is also in yourmal Your mo's are really happened in town.

224
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: There's so much going on. You there's a Raising Canes

225
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: out in the desert. Now they have a few raising

226
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: canes out that way too. Not really a good breakfast place, though.

227
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 3: I had a pretty good plan in place because I

228
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 3: booked in Advanced the Orleans. Yeah, and that was strategic

229
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 3: because they have free parking, one of the few casinos

230
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 3: with free parking.

231
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 4: Is huge.

232
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's close to a Legion Stadium, so I

233
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 3: figured we'll get there two hours before the game free parking.

234
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 3: Our room won't be ready yet, but we could check

235
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 3: our bags and have them held and then get a

236
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 3: lift or an uber to the stadium. Yeah, and so

237
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 3: that's what we did. Modello SURVEYSA they had a tailgate

238
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 3: party going which was cool with giveaways. They had like

239
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 3: a gym, plunket, bobblehead and free drinks and samples, and

240
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 3: the misters were out with fans.

241
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it was hot.

242
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it was a really hot day, one hundred

243
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 3: and four degrees there that day.

244
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: Now does it actually cool down in the stadium when

245
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: you're in the stadium, Is it feel comfortable? Is it's

246
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: still hot?

247
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 3: Cools way down once you're inside the stadium. The only

248
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 3: problem there with the design of that stadium, I would

249
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 3: say the seats are made first, I feel like for

250
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 3: smaller people at least the section we were in, because

251
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 3: we felt a little crammed. The body heat around me

252
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 3: made me hot. Guys, I felt a little too cram

253
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 3: next to the big fat guy that was next to me.

254
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 3: Other than that, though you got a fabulous view inside

255
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 3: that stadium. The way they designed it, you don't feel

256
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 3: like any of the seats are sloping or there's an

257
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 3: incline like you do it so far at Allegiance. You

258
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 3: feel like no matter where you're at inside, you have

259
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 3: a really good view of the field.

260
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks and I've not been inside. I've been

261
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: by at the Death Star from the outside, but it

262
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: looks great, and I'm glad it's cool. It's cooler in there,

263
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: because I remember when I did stuff with the Dodgers

264
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: when we'd go to Arizona and they have a dome,

265
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: but they'd leave it'd be like July and they'd leave

266
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: the dome open during bagging practice and they'd close it

267
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: like an hour and a half before the game, and

268
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: it was still blazing hots. Like, what's the point I

269
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: always said, like, what's the point of having a dome

270
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: if you're gonna leave it open all day and then

271
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: close it right before the game. It doesn't like it's

272
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: still like ninety degrees in What are you doing? Anyway?

273
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: Me off, But it was hot there, but you were

274
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: you were having Raider fans. What was the percentage of

275
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: Raider fans?

276
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 4: That was gonna be my next quick point.

277
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 3: As we're going up the escalator to the second level,

278
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 3: there there are some Browns fans right next to us,

279
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 3: and one of them, with his chest pumped out, tells

280
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 3: his buddy who's got orange face paint on. By the way,

281
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 3: he says, this is a home game. This is like

282
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 3: a home game for us, and they're doing their barking

283
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 3: chants and everything, and my son and I look at

284
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 3: each other like wow, wow, and it got worse. Man,

285
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 3: I had no idea that Browns fans could be so obnoxious.

286
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 3: They haven't won anything, right, No, not in my life

287
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 3: and not in my lifetime either.

288
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: They have what they have. I've noticed the Browns fans,

289
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: and I think they have a little bit of that

290
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: Bill's mafia, that that region, you know, the Great Lakes region, gritty,

291
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: you know, that that whole vibe, except at least the

292
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: Bills now are good and at least they can back

293
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: it up a little bit.

294
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, And that was my one hope was

295
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 3: that the creepy quarterback would you know, wet the bed

296
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 3: and Amari Cooper would have some big drops and their

297
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 3: vaunted defense would make some mistakes.

298
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: Appeared that the brown scored a touchdown until they did,

299
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: you know, right away.

300
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, because that happened in our end zone where we

301
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 3: were sitting and we saw the hold right in front

302
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 3: of us. Oh he actually the Brownie got a hold

303
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 3: of some jersey besides grabbing the player.

304
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: I was watching on TV. I did not see it,

305
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: and so I thought, oh, oh crap.

306
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 3: There was a video where some sad Browns fans were

307
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 3: showing could you believe they called this a hold? But

308
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 3: it was from the other side, It's hard to see

309
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 3: what was going on, and of course they were showing

310
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 3: that angle.

311
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 4: It clearly was a hold.

312
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 3: The fans in my section that had this ugly pooh

313
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 3: colored Brownie stuff on, they were very They were very opinionated.

314
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 3: They were very in your face type fans. That's what

315
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 3: surprised me, because no Raider fans were antagonizing them or

316
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 3: really paying attention to them. But there was this one

317
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 3: Browns fan in the row right above us, and anytime

318
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 3: the Browns did anything good in the game, he would

319
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 3: flip us the double birds. He was doing this the

320
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 3: whole game until Raiders defense stepped up big there shut

321
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 3: the door on the Browns. Raiders win the game, walk

322
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 3: off with that defensive play. The Raiders fans that are

323
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 3: in attendance are jumping up and down, celebrating as you

324
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 3: would imagine, and these Brownies fans, who were very confident

325
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 3: and very loud and very bark tacular. The amount of

326
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 3: barking they do is amazing. They even did a thing

327
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 3: where they would like do account and then they would

328
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 3: all bark on Q together.

329
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 1: Oh sacredie barking.

330
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 4: That's good.

331
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: Yes, I saw that at a dog park one.

332
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 3: After that walk off defensive play by the Raiders, I

333
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 3: was videotaping the guy who had been flipping us the

334
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 3: double birds, and I was barking at him and telling

335
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 3: him to have a nice trip home, don't let the

336
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 3: doors hitch.

337
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 4: You on the way out.

338
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 3: And when he walked past me, he said, if you

339
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 3: come to a Cleveland game, we'll show you what's up

340
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 3: there at he said to me, And I'm like, yeah,

341
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 3: first of all, I ain't going to a game in Cleveland,

342
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 3: but if I did, I wouldn't have my chest out,

343
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 3: you know, doing Raider chance in your face.

344
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: Buddy, Well you should have done is quoted the great

345
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: joke him Noah and said Cleveland. Who goes to vacation

346
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: with Cleveland. Yeah.

347
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 3: I felt like they thought that they were in a

348
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 3: much nicer Cleveland, and they really were acting as if

349
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 3: they were at a home game. Now, some of that

350
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 3: is the season ticket holder's fault. They didn't like the

351
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 3: performance the weekend before against the Panthers, which I understand,

352
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 3: but you don't give up on your team after one

353
00:18:58,640 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 3: bad game.

354
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: It's a great investment if you live in Vegas, or

355
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 1: even if you're not in Vegas, it's a wonderful investment.

356
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 1: Those are the most expensive seats in the NFL. Every week,

357
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: like the Raiders have the most expensive tickets. So if

358
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: you live in Vegas and you buy at face value

359
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: and then you can sell every ticket and make over

360
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: face value, you're making money on it. And then maybe

361
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: you want to go to a game or two and

362
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: that's it, and then the rest of them you sell.

363
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: So I understand why people do it, but as a fan,

364
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 1: it sucks, and especially a team like the Raiders that

365
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: always had such a passionate fan base and it was

366
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: always always, at least on TV, even when the Raiders

367
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: were bad, they always had tons of fans.

368
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's that's the stark contrast, as the analysts

369
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 3: on TV would say, Because you're right. I was a

370
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 3: ten year season ticket holder in Oakland and if there

371
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 3: was a Browns family there, they would be Specs in

372
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 3: the crowd because everything else would be silver and black.

373
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 3: You really could see the visitors there because they stood

374
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,479
Speaker 3: out like a sore thumb. It was not a place

375
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 3: that visiting fans would go to. And then now in

376
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 3: Vegas it's the other way around, where you have so

377
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 3: many visiting fans inundating your stadium that it does feel

378
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 3: almost like a home game for them, which could kind

379
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 3: of get embarrassing. It was seventy percent Browns fans is

380
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 3: seventy percent.

381
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 4: That's just too much. Man.

382
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 3: Now, we knew it was a trade off getting that

383
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,719
Speaker 3: nice new stadium in a place like Vegas where people

384
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 3: already visit and already make their plans to go to

385
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 3: that city ahead of time, and now obviously, oh let's

386
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 3: make a weekend out of seeing our team there. We

387
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 3: knew the Raider fan base knew that the trade off

388
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,479
Speaker 3: was there's going to be a visiting fans now coming in.

389
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 3: I didn't know at this clip though. That's what's bad

390
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 3: is that half and half. Even I could live with

391
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 3: seventy thirty. That's just that's well, that's pitiful.

392
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: I mean, the Raiders actually become a real the Raiders

393
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: have a chance to contend. I still believe even with

394
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: all the drama that's going on, I still think they

395
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 1: have a chance to contend for a wild card spot,

396
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: because all you have to do is get to nine

397
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: or ten wins, and they have enough bad teams they play.

398
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: I lost to a bad team already, But if they

399
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: just win a few of those games and they've already

400
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 1: pulled an upset for a team that we thought they

401
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: would lose to the Ravens, so or most people did, Yeah,

402
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: the opportunity, but it's like I would I would say,

403
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: like the Patriots. I remember when I first started to

404
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: do we talked about this a few times. But for

405
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 1: those that haven't heard, like when I started doing sports

406
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: radio and we were on in Boston, the Patriots had

407
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: a horrible reputation. They'd never won anything. They had been

408
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl a few times, but they weren't

409
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: very good. And they became this juggernaut. And for the

410
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: first like ten years of that, like guys would call

411
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: up from Boston, but they weren't Patriot fans. They were

412
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: fans of the Jets, of the Giants because the team

413
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: had been so bloh whatever. But now everyone in New England,

414
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: all the kids that have grown up, were the last

415
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: generation are all fans of pitches, but even in like Vegas,

416
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: and people will stop selling their tickets because or not

417
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: as many of them will sell it to.

418
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know.

419
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 3: The one thing I'll say about that stadium besides it

420
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 3: having a nice view from wherever you're at, the food

421
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 3: in there is tremendous. They have done a great job

422
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 3: with the variety and the quality of the food. It

423
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 3: is pricey, like all the food in Las Vegas, but

424
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 3: the variety and the quality of all the different vendors

425
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 3: in there. They get a ten out of ten with

426
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,479
Speaker 3: their food at that stadium.

427
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 1: And this was rare and appropriate. Right, you're not going

428
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: to go to a lot of these games. So did

429
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: you enjoy? Did you indulge? What was the top thing

430
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: that you ate?

431
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 3: We got a barbecue brisket burrito, Tell me more, Tell

432
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 3: me more. And my son and I both read the

433
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 3: ingredients up on the board when we were standing in

434
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 3: this line and we're like, man, we got to get

435
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 3: that brisket burrito. It was thirty six bucks for two

436
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 3: of them, so not cheap but worth every bite. We

437
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 3: bit into this brisket burrito and looked at each other,

438
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 3: We're like, oh, Man, they're on point with their food

439
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 3: here at this place, because I remember spending the same

440
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 3: amount of money when I went to a Raiders Rams

441
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 3: game in the preseason a couple of years back, and

442
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 3: the food there was garbage expensive with no flavor. They

443
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 3: gave us a ton of free doctor Pepper's ben when

444
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 3: we first walked into that Modello tailgate zone. Okay, the

445
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 3: problem is you can't walk those into the stadium.

446
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: She had to drink them in as fast as you can.

447
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you saw people chugging doctor peppers. We get

448
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 3: the last thing on it. When we got to the

449
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 3: Orleans to check our bags and check out the sports

450
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 3: book before we got our uber, there were lots of

451
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 3: Browns jerseys in there. There were Raider jerseys too, but

452
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 3: there was a lot of Browns fans inside the casino

453
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 3: Slash hotel. When we got back to the hotel after

454
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 3: waiting in the uber line at the stadium, there were

455
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 3: no brown jerseys to be seen anywhere, not at the restaurant.

456
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 3: There no Browns fans, just Raider jerseys. The tables at

457
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 3: the sports book that we popped into there they renovated.

458
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 4: They have one nice new sports book in there.

459
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: I've been in there in a while. I did they

460
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 1: still have the frogs they used to have frogs out frogs?

461
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

462
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 3: They have that Marty Gras slash New Orleans frog vibe. Yeah,

463
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 3: they have the big frogs when you first walk in,

464
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 3: like playing the saxophone and the Marty Gras instruments.

465
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, cool vibe in there.

466
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 3: But my son and I both looked at each other

467
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 3: and were like, what magically happened to all the Browns

468
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 3: fans that we saw, you know, in here prior to

469
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 3: the game. So our theory is that they all went

470
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 3: to their rooms, changed out of their Browns crap, and

471
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 3: then got into some you know, play clothes and went

472
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 3: back down to the machines.

473
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: It was a wardrobe adjustment that took place there.

474
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 4: It had to have.

475
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 3: It had to have been because they were so proud

476
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 3: of that ugly brown color prior to the game, and

477
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 3: then afterwards we saw none of it being represented.

478
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: You got crickets. That's all we got. All right. A

479
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: couple of things. I just want to mention, no parking,

480
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: no peace. So while you were at the Raider game,

481
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,959
Speaker 1: I had every intention I had planned on being at

482
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs Chargers game. I was supposed to attend the

483
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: game at so far there was a cluster f that

484
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: I did not go. And the reason I was going

485
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: to go, I have some friends that work for the

486
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 1: Chiefs that I wanted to see that on the radio

487
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: side for the Chiefs, So I was going to go out.

488
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: And they only come into LA once a year, so

489
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: I go out and see them and hang out watch

490
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: the game. It was a game I was interested in,

491
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 1: but I got a whole routine. So there was a

492
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: cluster f involving the parking. I got an email. The

493
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: way this works and when you're you're going to a

494
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: game in the media, you get an email saying, hey,

495
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: you've been approved. You know, you get a pass whatever.

496
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: But there's a couple layers to it because they also

497
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: have to there's parking that's part of it as well,

498
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,719
Speaker 1: and that's separate, and I have a rule. I'm at

499
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: the point now in my life I'm officially middle aged Danny.

500
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: If I don't get the parking, I don't go. I'm

501
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: not I'm not dealing with the bull crap. I don't

502
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: want any part of it. I already had one parking

503
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 1: incident I talked about on a previous episode of this podcast.

504
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: So I get approved from this charger person and normally

505
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 1: what happens is within a couple hours they'll send the parking.

506
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: It's no problem. I just that I've done this for

507
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: years and that's just yeah, I work. But I didn't

508
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: get that second message saying here's your parking. Uh oh,

509
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 1: So it guess to Friday night. You know, I'm trying

510
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 1: to plan my weekend and nothing, So I send I

511
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: shoot an email. On Saturday when I woke up, I

512
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: shoot an email to the charges, hey I haven't gotten

513
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,959
Speaker 1: the parking yet. And a couple hours later I got

514
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: an email back from one of the PR people for

515
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: the chargers like, well, we sent it to somebody else

516
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: who works at your company, but that's not me. Why

517
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 1: didn't you just send it to me? You always say this.

518
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: I was like, I didn't understand that, So then I

519
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 1: contact I will not name the person, but I contacted

520
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: the person. They were like, well, I don't know how

521
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: to get in the app. I don't know the password.

522
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: I don't use the app, you know, just I don't.

523
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: I can't figure it out. So we're going back and forth.

524
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: It got to about ten o'clock on Saturday, and that

525
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: was my cutoff, and I'm like, I'm not going, and

526
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: so then I get up to watch the games. And

527
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: the games start on the West Coast at ten in

528
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: the morning. But I'm up, I'm watching the games and

529
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I'm not going to the Charger game.

530
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: So it gets to ten thirty seven. I wrote down

531
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: the time, Danny. Ten thirty seven, I get a text,

532
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: all right, here's your parking. Well I can't. Well, you

533
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: know where I lived in I can't. It's a hole

534
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 1: to do to get to Sofi Stadium from where I

535
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: live from the North Woods and so plus I have

536
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 1: to go to bed earlier because I have to drive,

537
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: and I have to stay out that way. It's a

538
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: hole to do, right, I gotta go to the game,

539
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: which is fine. I enjoy going to the game, and

540
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: I got to get there early. I get there to

541
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,239
Speaker 1: watch the early games on my laptop, and then I

542
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: watched the Chiefs game and I schmooze a little bit,

543
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: and it's that whole thing. But at ten thirty seven

544
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: in the morning, the early games had all kicked off,

545
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: so I'm watching that. It would have taken me probably

546
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 1: two hours to get to the stadium. It would have

547
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: taken me another hour to get in, so I would

548
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: have gotten in after kickoff. If I'm lucky, I would

549
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: have gotten in by the end of the first quarter.

550
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: Maybe not, but then I'd still I wouldn't have been

551
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: able to see The whole point of going was to

552
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: get there early because my guys I wouldn't be able

553
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: to see that they're working during the game. And so

554
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: as I asked, threw it so I didn't go. Ah,

555
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: And at this point, like I don't know. I mean,

556
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: I love going to games, but it's like it's such

557
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: a They've made it so inconvenient, and it's like, you know,

558
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: I'm I don't need it. I mean, I'll go occasionally,

559
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: but it's just a better for me watching flipping around

560
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: watching the games on TV. It's like you see everything

561
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: you know, and I see everything on my computer. But

562
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: it's just I don't know, it's a different thing. It

563
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: just left a bad taste in my mouth because it's

564
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: just bad, you know, bad pr work or whatever. One

565
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: more thing. Let's get to the let's see you what

566
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: do we want to do here? We have the always

567
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: exciting idiom of the week.

568
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 4: Idiom of the week.

569
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: All right, this week it is it's no skin off

570
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: my nose, No skin off my nose, which is some

571
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: people say no skin off my back, but there's other

572
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: people that say no skin off my nose. It obviously

573
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: means I think we all know, maybe not. It doesn't

574
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: bother you, whatever's going on. So there's a number of

575
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: different theories regarding the source of this. However, the one

576
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: that is most often used it goes back to the

577
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: early twentieth century, from the world of boxing. The earliest

578
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: recorded use was found in nineteen ten by Cosmopolitan magazine

579
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: and it was called the Cosmopolitan the family magazine, and

580
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: they use that. But others disagree with that that it

581
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: does not come from boxing. Others claim that the word

582
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: of the phrase not from boxing, but from the mill,

583
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: people working in the mill, and that it's actually the

584
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: opposite of putting your nose to the grindstone, that the

585
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: fact that there is no skin off your nose meant

586
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: that you were lazy, you didn't work hard, and that's

587
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: why there was no skin off your nose, because you

588
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: didn't put your nose to the grindstone and all that.

589
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: So it's gone back and forth. A lot of people

590
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: think it's the boxing one, but there are people that

591
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: also say it's the other one. So it's one of

592
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: those two. The origins of it's no Skin Off My Back,

593
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: and there's also a version of no Skin Off My teeth,

594
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: which is like a weird version of that. So anyway,

595
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: that's that. Anything Danny going on, I'll be watching baseball

596
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: and college football all day to day. Anything you got

597
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: going on.

598
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 3: Well, there's supposed to be a birthday celebration for our

599
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 3: daughter happening later this morning at Wayna Park where as

600
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 3: you know, knots Berry Farm resides.

601
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: Oh, Vietnaught. It's gonna be hanging out there.

602
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's supposed to be a hot day there, so

603
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 3: we're going to hang out as long as we can

604
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 3: make it and try to be back in the afternoon

605
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 3: for the first pitch of the Dodgers game.

606
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: All right, that's the Dodgers are playing I think five

607
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: thirty our time.

608
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a five thirty eight first pitch. All right.

609
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 3: You know who's got the most punishable face in all

610
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 3: of baseball? Would that be Manny Machado?

611
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: And he's an ex Dodger who said he didn't want

612
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: to play on the West Coast, and then took a

613
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,959
Speaker 1: ten year contract from the Padres, which I think are

614
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: on the West Coast, but I don't know.

615
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 4: Hey Ben, he's no Johnny Hustle. Okay, yeah, a legend.

616
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: I saw it the longest single in World Series history

617
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: against the Red Sox. Remember he hit the ball off

618
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: the wall and thought it was gone, so he was like,

619
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:19,800
