And we are reunited here on a 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:08.000 very important day which we will get into in a minute. Danny, 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:13.160 We've got Vegas Baby Donald derangement syndrome, but not what 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:17.640 you think and Benny and the Boys. Now that has 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:21.600 the makings of a very mediocre podcast. Danny but it'll 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.560 be hopell me better than mediocre. We're hoping better than 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.000 mediocre on the fifth hour today. 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:29.960 By the way, we are now less than two weeks 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:31.520 away from the NFL season. 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.280 Yeah, college football beginning right. It was from college football. 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:37.320 It's like a soft launch for college. 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:38.880 Football week zero. Right. 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.360 I was told like I on the Overnight show. I say, well, 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:44.560 it's the zero hour, and then I said, well, no, 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:46.840 that's it's our one. I said, well, no to me, 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.360 it's the zero hour, and then Lorena would argue with me. 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:50.840 I said, one, it's zero and she said, no, it's 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:52.880 our one. It's not the zero hour. We got into that. 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.520 But today's today, Danny. Today is today. It is launch day. 0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:01.040 It is blast off. We're on I'm the launching pad 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:04.360 right now. This has become we we wanted to be 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.280 an annual pilgrimage. We think it's going to become that. 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:12.480 This is year number two. The faithful, the curious, and 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:14.760 the What the hell else am I going to do? 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.040 I'm a middle aged person. It's a Saturday in Vegas. 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:20.000 I got nothing else to do. That crowd will all 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:26.080 descend upon the Stakeout Bar and Grill over near UNLV 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.760 here in the desert this afternoon. It is the twenty 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:34.160 twenty five Vegas Malor Meet and Greet, and it is 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:38.799 on like a Donkey Kong video game, and I'm very 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:42.040 excited about that. People have been asking questions, Danny. We've 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:44.359 you've been to some of these in the past. I've 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.240 done a lot of them, and we promoted it a 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:48.840 lot on the Overnight Show, and people have been asking 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:52.680 questions like, why are you doing this, Why you're not 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:54.400 getting paid to do this, why are you doing this? 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:57.560 And to me, you're already missing the point. This is, 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.400 as you know, we both fell in love with radio, Danny. 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:01.000 This is radio. 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:04.720 We're talking about the most intimate, most personal medium there is. 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.560 And every once in a while, you sit alone right 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.760 in the studio and you listening will you'll be alone. 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:15.520 You'll lay in bed alone, maybe you've got insomnia. It 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.400 might even be married. There might be somebody next to you, 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.320 but they're sleeping, so you're pretty much alone. And you're 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:24.239 driving alone, you're working at night, you're in your own 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:27.800 little world. You know, the voice in the dark that 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:29.880 would be coming out of the magic radio box or whatever, 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:35.120 And so every so often that voice in this case me, 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.960 we decide to step out and as weed Man hit 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:42.160 me calls of the magic radio box and see if 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.240 the people on the other end of the speaker actually exist. 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:48.000 Spoiler alert, Danny, they actually do. 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:55.240 They actually do. I know, Sap, you were waxing poetically. 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:59.120 I know a deep thoughts on the Fifth Hour podcast. Now, 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:00.680 how many people are going to show up? This is 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.080 another question I get a lot of, Danny. I have 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:06.720 no idea. No one may show. We might just be 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.040 there and that's it. Nobody will be there. I don't know, 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:11.840 maybe five people, six people. There could be six hundred. 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.640 I had a dream. I don't dream very often, Danny, 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:16.960 but I had a dream the other day that it 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:20.320 could be like six thousand, you know, and suddenly Clark 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:24.120 County's finest. We'll be asking who's this guy named slug 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:28.560 who organized this flash mob at some bar near UNLV, Like, 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:33.160 what is this all about? And that's uh, that's part 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.520 of the charm, Danny. That's that's part of the charm. 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.240 And there's no RSVPs, although some people of us know 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:41.080 they're gonna be here. Like supermarket Steve Queen Rocks in 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:45.200 Big lou He's on number two from the LBC. Some 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.200 legends have announced they're going to be there, but as 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:52.360 far as I know, there's no bottle service. It's it's 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:55.520 in many ways a democracy, right, It's you show up, 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:59.919 and it's the silent majority, the people that listen but 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.160 don't actually usually call the show and stuff like that. 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:03.919 And so the people that. 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:08.039 Will be there though salt of the earth and it's 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:12.599 not some sanitized corporate networking mixer type deal. 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:14.200 Everyone's on their best behavior. 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:17.920 The way I would sum this up, and I want 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:19.520 to get your thoughts on this, Danny, because the way 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.400 I would sum up a malard meat green, I've talked 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:23.800 about this. I don't do it often, but every once 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:25.960 in a while I'll go out to Santa Anita here 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:31.560 in Socow beautiful racetrack, and I'll look at the crowd 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.880 and I'm always amazed by the crowd or a horse race, 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:38.440 and I think we've gotten to that point with the 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:42.840 Malard militia. It's a race track crowd and I love it. 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:46.000 I'm talking about rich guy, poor guy. You know here 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:49.520 in Vegas is you know the whale that gambles a 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.479 ton of money, and then right next to that person 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:56.040 would be like some degenerate gambler and you know, somebody 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.279 who lost all their money, but they still have a 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.600 little bit left to buy Keno tickets or something like that. 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.839 And so to give you an example, last. 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:07.920 Year we had at the meet and greet we did, 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:11.080 which was in August of twenty twenty four, we had 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:17.960 an actual Bolaggio executive who was there, and ten minutes 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:23.560 later a guy known as mouth Washed Mike, the homeless, lovable, 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:29.839 possibly intoxicated, well definitely intoxicated guy. He showed up telling 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.240 stories about he's from the Midwest, but he lives in Vegas. 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.039 Here, I don't know that he lives in Vegas. 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:37.279 He's homeless, and he was telling stories about swimming in 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.839 the same Blaggio fountains from the you know, the executive 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.120 that had been there and wanted me to go out 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:47.599 and watch him swim. And and that's the that's the 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:49.800 gist of it. It's like a racetrack crowd. So there'll 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:52.360 be some really rich, successful people there and then there'll 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:56.120 be other people who are not doing so well. And 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.320 I've never been to a Colin Cowherd appearance. I don't 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:00.960 know that he does the is I doubt he does, 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:04.400 But if he does, I'm guessing it's probably the same, 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:05.000 unless it's not. 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:11.040 He's had events for the Volume, which is his podcast network. 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:14.240 But yeah, but it's not. It's not usually for the listeners. 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:18.280 It's for the industry. They're like industry parties, the VIP. 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:23.200 Yeahah, so this to me that the appeal is like 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:26.480 the malor meet and read is unpredictable. We have done 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.360 a lot of these. The one in Boston. We had 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:35.160 Dave from Florida who drove all the way up just 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:37.840 to hang out for an hour at the cask and 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:42.760 flagging in Boston and you know whatever, thousand miles. 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:43.120 Whatever it was. 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.840 And then he had Roscoe the parrot, and I said, 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:48.960 where's Roscoe. The parry says, don't worry, hold on, let 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.080 me go to the car and get Roscoe. And then 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.880 he walked back in and he held up very proudly 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:55.560 Roscoe the parrot. 0:07:55.240 --> 0:08:00.320 Who is a stuffed animal that was taxidermy or. 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:04.840 No, no, no stuff dni. 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:12.720 Yeah. No. It's a wide range of people, from lawyers 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:16.960 to the people lawyers sometimes put away in jail. 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.480 Yeah, well, I'll give you exp what Eddie called into 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:24.600 the show. A couple of days back, and he had 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:26.840 mentioned that he had met a big fan of the 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:31.160 Overnight Show, a gentleman named Sherwin. And Sherwin is a 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:36.280 retired federal judge. That's like the that's pretty close to 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.480 the top. You're a federal judge. You know, you're not 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:42.000 Supreme Court judge, but you're a federal judge. And so 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:43.840 it is really the wild wild West, and you don't 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.400 know who you're gonna meet. There'll be some big executives there, 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:50.720 and then there'll be a truck driver from Bakersfield, and 0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:53.480 maybe there'll be some guy wearing an old clippers lamar 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:55.880 odom jersey who just came back from the Bunny ranch. 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.000 And you know, you don't want to really touch that 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:01.960 guy's hands, you know, but yeah, you know, just hang out. 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:04.640 And it's always fun too because I'm, as you know, Danny, 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.520 I'm an introvert. I am not the most social person, 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.480 so it is out of my comfort zone to do 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:13.160 these things. It is, and then a lot of the 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.880 people will also be introverts that will show up today, 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:20.679 and so it's it's always an awkward things like you 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:22.520 always can tell the people in the back of the 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.720 room that want to be there, but kind of don't 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:27.200 want to be there, you know what I mean, Danny, 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:29.080 You're like, yeah, I know, I want to.

When you went to Disney, 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:26.200 did you go on the railroad Mickey's railroad? 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.400 I did not I did not make it to Toontown. 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:35.040 We mostly hung out around Pirates of the Caribbean in 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.640 that area, and we went to the Star Wars thing 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:39.000 a little bit. We didn't make it all the way 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:39.760 back to Toontown. 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.080 How was it was? It? Was it all right? I 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:45.200 think that's that new Mickey Mouse ride they do the 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.720 old school cartoon. You're standing in front of the screen 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:51.120 and then the train like crashes through the screen and 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:56.040 there's real smoke that comes out, and CoA said, Wow, 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.400 if CoA could curse, he would have said, holy shit. 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:04.360 That was the tone in his voice. So he was 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:07.440 blown away by that. And then we're walking through the 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:11.160 rest of Toontown. My better half she sees the Donald 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:17.120 Dutt character walking through. Now, you know, and we've made 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:20.400 fun of Disney adults before on the radio. These are 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:24.680 grown men and women who stand in line and they 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:28.800 make the lines impossible. These characters are there for the kids. 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:30.960 They're not there. They shouldn't be there for the adults. 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.840 I understand if you love Disneyland, and I like the 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.840 park a lot, but I'm not gonna take a spot 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:41.520 in the line to meet a character holding an autograph book. Yeah, 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:44.319 it's a little tough. Yeah, I've seen grown adults holding 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:48.840 autograph books standing in the line, pushing little kids out 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:50.480 of the way so that they could get one of 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.559 the character's autographs. Yeah, well, what should be the cutoff 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:57.920 on that, Danny? What do you think? Probably twelve years old? Okay, 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:02.880 Now Brenda's fall Donald. She's holding CoA, so she has 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:04.760 a reason to stalk Donald. 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:07.120 And again, for those that are new to the podcast, 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:07.920 how old is Cole? 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:10.880 Again, He's very like a couple of years old? Right, 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:13.760 he just had his second birthday a couple of weeks ago. 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:16.160 I get a couple two years old. That's it just 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.880 turned to. It's one of his favorite things to say. 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:22.080 He holds up two bananas and he says two two, 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:24.520 and I'm like, how old are you? And he says too. 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:28.840 He sounds very Italian when he says it. Yeah, So 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:34.120 Brenda is now stalking Donald Duck because she knows Donald 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:36.400 is on his way to a signing or you know, 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.439 people take photos with him. They have these little spaces 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.079 where they walk the character over and then they'll start 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:45.600 forming the line. And there's the employees who are now 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:49.800 trying to orchestrate everything of this rude family cuts in 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:53.760 front of Brenda even though she's first. Ah, and now 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:56.960 we have to wait for CoA to meet Donald Duck. 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.839 Now he just turned too. He doesn't understand sharing yet. 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:04.880 He doesn't understand the concept of waiting for anything. The 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:07.480 fact that these kids, these two kids in this family 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:10.959 cut in front of him. He was super pissed off, 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:15.480 to the point where he was screaming as if Donald 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.319 Duck was murdering him with a knife. Got a murder. 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:20.960 You should have saw the look on the employees' faces. 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:24.680 And now these two little kids, they have autograph books. Okay, 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:26.720 that's cool because they're the ones that are supposed to 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.600 have those books. Although I still don't understand that. Either 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.120 you give your little kid an autograph book. I don't 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.640 want Mickey Mouse's autograph or Mini's or any of those 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:39.080 characters autographs, but whatever, these kids get the autograph. Meanwhile, 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:39.840 I know you. 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:42.240 Want Danny's Walt Disney's autograph, but he's not available. 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.720 Yes, yeah, if you got his autograph, that would be 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:53.400 magical and slightly creepy and cryptkeeper. Like CoA, he's not 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:56.880 understanding why he has to wait, Like I see Donald 0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:00.640 Donald's right there, he's right in front of me. Give me, 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:04.200 Donald Duck. Finally these little kids and they're taken forever. 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.280 They move out of the way. We walk CoA over, 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:11.160 and his tears they go away pretty fast because Donald 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.560 Donald's like trying to calm him down. And I'm gonna 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:17.280 shoot you a picture right now. This is uh, this 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:21.440 is when the crying stopped and CoA leaned over and 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:26.320 gave Donald Duck a huge hug. All right, Oh man, 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.400 look at that. That is joy right there. 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:34.120 That is uh, his face is buried and yeah, ah 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:35.280 on Donald's armpit. 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:39.440 Is that's that's great? Yeah? Not the uh, not the 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.440 most clean part of that costume right there to put 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:46.480 your face in. By the way, what kind of job 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:48.560 is that where you have to stand in one of 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:51.280 those As I said, once the sun came out, it 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:53.840 felt like one hundred degrees in the park. For those 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:59.560 employees who wear those character costumes, do they get hazard pay? Yeah? 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:02.880 Well, I obviously they don't work that long, right, They 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:05.240 take a lot of breaks. But I can only imagine 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:06.880 what the smell must have been like when they took 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.240 that thing off. I was I've told the story before, 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:11.000 but years ago, when I was doing stuff for the Dodgers. 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:14.120 We were in Milwaukee at the old County Stadium and 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:17.560 I was walking It was a day game, the Brewer 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:19.800 day game. We were walking around in the bowels of 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:22.400 County Stadium. We walked into a backroom and a friend 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:26.000 of mine that showed me where the racing sausages uniforms 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:29.880 were sausage race and they only wear those for like 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:32.600 one half inning in between. I think it's the seventh 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:36.040 inning where they the sausage race. And I went in 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:38.480 there and I picked one of the costumes up and 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:41.880 it smelled Danny like. It smelled like a hockey locker room, 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:46.440 you know, terrible. It was foul. I can only in 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:50.400 those Disney costumes. They were him every day, right NonStop. Man, 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:53.400 Oh look cool, cool. I'm seeing another photo here. 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.440 Yeah. I sent the one as he's parting ways with 0:16:56.560 --> 0:17:01.920 Donald and he says bye bye, and he said, thank you. 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:08.360 That is great. That is outstanding. Many long day at 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:11.200 the park. You do it for the kids. Your legs 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:13.560 feel like jello. At the end of the night. We 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:16.359 stayed all the way till midnight. We closed that bitch 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:18.640 down because we knew we weren't going to be able 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:22.200 to go back anytime soon, especially with all the kids 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:25.119 together because now two of them are off to school. 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:29.719 So it was a beautiful, beautiful day. Again, thank you 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:33.600 to circle K there.

And now that Donald Duck is 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:41.639 on his hip. That's awesome. And you know he feels 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:43.560 like he knows him. Now.

We do the podcast every weekend and 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:09.320 you listening as a p one last weekend took an 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:16.200 extended elongated couple of days and went on a little roady. 0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:19.480 And here's the thing though, I bring this up from 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:22.479 time to time when you live in southern California, like 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:25.960 we do the show from Southern California, live here, your 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:29.280 road trips, stay in California, like the state is too big. 0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:33.120 It's you know, I realized, I'm doing this from Vegas, 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:35.760 which is like a suburb of LA but it really 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:38.359 is the Hotel California. You can check out anytime, but 0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:42.320 you can never leave. And we packed up the station wagon. 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:46.280 The otherwise knows the malormobile. We went full I'm gonna 0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:51.240 date myself full heule Houser in search of California's goal. 0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:53.280 That's a dated reference, but this guy was a legend 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:54.480 on PBS many years ago. 0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:57.520 Rest in peace, fuel Houser. And so we hit the road. 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:01.919 This was the last I guess the Thursday prior Thursday prior, 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:07.080 and was we went right into the buzzsaw, right into 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:10.640 the bus. So that is Los Angeles traffic. And if 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:13.480 you're the type who loves what I call the Big three, Danny, 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:15.920 I call it the Big three. I call it gridlock, congestion, 0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:19.800 and smog, this was your paradise. And so I'm the 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:23.800 driver who I'm in the big chair, and I'm driving. 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:25.720 The wife is the navigator, not that you really need 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:28.199 a navigator, but you're trying to avoid the traffic, so 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:30.200 you have the wife be the navigator. And I will 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:33.199 not reveal her name, although the court systems may or 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:35.480 may not list her as my spouse. So we were 0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:41.120 both running on fumes that were working overnight, and there 0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:45.320 was a tactical error that was made. Believe it or not, 0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:48.680 we were supposed to zig instead of zag and as 0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:52.639 a result of that tacnical error, which again I was 0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:55.080 the driver, I was not the navigator, so I'm not 0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:56.119 taking responsibility. 0:20:57.400 --> 0:20:58.400 I'm blaming the wife. 0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:01.159 Anyway, we ended upright in the belly of the beast 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:05.320 on the four to five freeway at the worst possible time. 0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:10.200 Bumper to bumper to bumper to bumper, cars stacked up 0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:15.560 like dominoes and who goofed. I've got to know, on 0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:17.920 the four h five freeway a place you don't want 0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:28.360 to be. And then serendipity, sirens, flashing lights, lights, red 0:21:28.440 --> 0:21:32.480 lights and blue lights spinning around. Now, my wife spotted 0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:36.320 it first because I was in a traffic days and 0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:38.080 way off in the distance. 0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:39.480 What's going on? 0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:42.400 And she said, is that a funeral procession? You see 0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:44.880
