Speaker 1: Kutbooms.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,480
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 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow, it's the clearinghouse

14
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: during the week or a little podcast fun.

15
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 3: Yep on the weekends.

16
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 4: And this is the part of the sports calendar where

17
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 4: the weak asses who try to do sports go run

18
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 4: and hide, and the strength of the sports backbone of

19
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 4: America come out and not only cover baseball but also

20
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 4: professional marble shooting.

21
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: Damn right, And I am never ever concerned. I remember

22
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: when I first started in radio, and this time of

23
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: the year, guys would freak out. They'd have anxiety attacks.

24
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: Every radio station I worked at when I was a

25
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: young kid. I started in the business was in nineteen

26
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: it's like nineteen twenty, twenty one, twenty two, twenty. These

27
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: guys would be shitting bricks.

28
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 3: What are we gonna do?

29
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: There's nothing going on, you know. But at least back

30
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: in those days there was interest in baseball more now

31
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,559
Speaker 1: than now. You know, they did talk baseball on the radio,

32
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: but they'd always go back to the default answer, which

33
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: was Pete Rose, should he be reinstated into baseball? Oh?

34
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: That was always the go to.

35
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 3: They had to make up their own fake drama.

36
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's like the news shows in those days.

37
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: They did abortion. I guess that's still a thing all

38
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 1: these years later. And guns that was also So there's

39
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: like certain boilerplate topics that you do when you do

40
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: a radio show. But yet it's so easy, not easy,

41
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: but it's so much easier than it had been now

42
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: because just about every professional athlete is feeding the content

43
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: kitty by saying stupid things or doing stupid things, and

44
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 1: so we didn't have that before, not this time of

45
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: the year. So it's been pretty good on this podcast.

46
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: The Saturday Special. We've got Big John, the scene of

47
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: the crime, fifteen point two miles, Phrase of the week,

48
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: and Pop goes the culture. That's a lot of content.

49
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to get through it quickly, so we

50
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: will attempt to get through everything. I always put too

51
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: much in the show. If you noticed that, Danny, have

52
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: you noticed that?

53
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 4: Yes, it works out well because you listen to these

54
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 4: in order, hopefully, and it all just flows over like

55
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 4: a waterfall.

56
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

57
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: I try to shove fifteen pounds of crap and a

58
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: two pound bag is what I try to do. So Barbi,

59
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: this life of mal or life of Danny g is

60
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: what we often do on the Saturday podcast. I last weekend,

61
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: I had dinner with a buddy of mine and yesterday

62
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: we told the story about the cheeseburger in Paradise. And

63
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: you didn't hear that story. You can go back, So I.

64
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 3: Go dirty Burger.

65
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. So my wife was working and I had

66
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: the option. I could have stayed home and made some

67
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: food by myself. And I was like, my wife's like

68
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: you should go out, you should you know, go you know,

69
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: meet your friends or whatever. So it's like okay, you know,

70
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: and I called a few people up and they're like,

71
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: I can't go do my wife won't let me go,

72
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: or you know, you know that kind of thing, you know,

73
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: things you get when you're a middle aged man asking

74
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: friends to go to dinner on a Saturday. So whatever.

75
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: So I went down my roll the decks and I

76
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: found a friend I used to work with in Rady

77
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: who's been on this podcast. Who you know, the Prince

78
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: of Darkness, the original Prince of Darkness, Lee Ah Kleine.

79
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: So I met Lee at the one of our old

80
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: places who I used to hang out with Lee all

81
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: the time when I was a young guy, because no

82
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: women would hang out with me, but Lee would hang

83
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: out with me.

84
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 4: And we used to still a dark cloud that follows

85
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 4: over the top of him as he walks.

86
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: Yes, oh, we'll get to that in a minute. So

87
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: I met my friend Lee. I haven't seen him since April,

88
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: and we check out, you know, we check check check

89
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: out our and we catch up. As what I'm trying

90
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: to say, we catch up every few months. And so

91
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: we go to old Stomgres So I used to live

92
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: kind of near If you're familiar with the geography of

93
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, I used to live right near where the

94
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: Grove is Farmer's Market in LA and Lee lives in

95
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: the South Bay kind of that part of LA in

96
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: that area. So halfway we determined was Calver City. So

97
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: we would often meet in Culver City because it was halfway.

98
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 1: There's a movie studio there. It's like a movie it's

99
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: like a movie TV time. So we met in Culver

100
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: City at one of our old stomping grounds, Johnny's Pastrami,

101
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: which is a legendary pastrami place there and they've been

102
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: around forever. And so it's Saturday night. Now. I had

103
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: actually gone to the Angel game prior to going to

104
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: Johnny's Pastrami. So I met my friend Lee after the game.

105
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: So we get there and we're debating what the order.

106
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: Now you have two options. Now we've been there so

107
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: much we know the entire menu. We also remember when

108
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: it was actually affordable to eat a Johnny's pastrami, which

109
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: was I think twenty years ago. Anyway, so whatever, doing

110
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: this a long time. So we decide, I'm like I'm

111
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: getting I'm going pastrami. You go to Johnny's astrom It's

112
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: in the name. I'm gonna get Astromi. But they also

113
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: make really good burgers, and so Lee's like, I'm getting

114
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: the Big John. That's what I'm getting, a Big John,

115
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: because that's a really good it's like a double burger.

116
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: It's it's pretty big. So and they give you other

117
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: stuff on the side. All right, So we order the

118
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: food and the waitress is nice. You know, they're not

119
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: that busy whatever. There's a little fire pits so you

120
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: can sit outside. We sat outside. There's not much inside seating.

121
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: It's an old school diner. So we're waiting for the

122
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: food comes. There's a basket of fries in the middle

123
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: community property. There's pastrami on my side, same as I remember.

124
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: And then Lee gets the burger and it looks totally

125
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: different than what it had looked like. Now you have

126
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: two options. You can either just eat the burger and

127
00:06:53,520 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: say that's fine, or you can raise Holy Hell, like

128
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: this is a war crime and you have just you know,

129
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: you need to go to Dante's Inferno. What do you

130
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: think my friend Lee did, And you know him and

131
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: you've had some situations with him in the past, what

132
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: do you think he did?

133
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know my experience with him.

134
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 4: I don't think the listeners really know, but the first

135
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 4: time I met him, he just made racist joke after

136
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 4: racist Mexican joke. And it turns out I'm Spanish and Sicilian,

137
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 4: I'm not Mexican, But anyways, that doesn't matter to a

138
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 4: guy like him. And he's like really loud, and some

139
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 4: of it's playful. So I can see, you know, at

140
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 4: the at your Christmas party, we're kind of laughing, like

141
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 4: this guy needs to drink another one. But I'm going

142
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 4: to say, in a situation like this, and he's already

143
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 4: probably in a bad mood for overpaying for a burger

144
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 4: that would have been affordable twenty years ago, so he

145
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 4: probably went and raised hell at the front.

146
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's it's a total ship show now that Lee. Uh.

147
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: The way he breaks the ice, he's he's older. And

148
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: the way he breaks the ice he is, uh to

149
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: make offensive comments. That's how he breaks the ice at

150
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: social eng so, uh, don't take it personally, Danny. He

151
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: does it everywhere. It's very uncomfortable.

152
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 4: But anyway, so he called somebody a beaner there too

153
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 4: at the restaurant racist.

154
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: Uh No, there was no but but but anyway, so whatever, anyway, Lee, Uh,

155
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: you know, he's he's complaining.

156
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 4: He's a lovable older guy. He's kind of like your

157
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 4: racist grandfather.

158
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. So anyway, he's complaining to the to the waitress.

159
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: So she can't you know, they come back, how's your food?

160
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: Which is a rhetorical question, she just did. If you

161
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: ask that, if you just you assume great, nobody's gonna

162
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: say no. And but he did. He's like, that's just

163
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: this is not a big John. You know, this is

164
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: not this is not what I ordered.

165
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 3: This is a little John.

166
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: And uh so she looks at the burger and she

167
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: kind of ex amz is it? And she said, well, no,

168
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: that's a that's a big John. And he says, no,

169
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: it's not. I've been coming here for you know, thirty years,

170
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: and I've had this burger, you know, hundreds of times,

171
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: and that ain't the big Johnt. And she she looks

172
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: at it again and she examines the burger and she says,

173
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: that's a big John. And then here, you know, we're

174
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: going back and forth and he's like, well, no, that's

175
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: not what I paid for. I don't give me the menu.

176
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: Where's the menu? So he's like pointing at the menu,

177
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: and she says, well and then he's like, oh, how

178
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: long you worked here? And the and the waitress is like, well,

179
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: I worked here like four years or something like, well,

180
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: I've been coming here thirty right. So he's going on

181
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: and on, and I'm like, I'm like, oh, mercy, get

182
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: me out of here, you know, I am. And then

183
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: so so they're going back and forth, and then of

184
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: course it's, uh, you know, where's the owner, you know,

185
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: where's the manager, you know that kind of thing, whether

186
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: they're not here. You know, it's, uh, you know, I

187
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: can't do anything they're not here. And then Lee's like, oh,

188
00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 1: of course you can't do anything. You know, that's the

189
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: the world these days and all that stuff. So we

190
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: went back and forth and he finally just gave up,

191
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: which is shocking, and said, fine, I'll eat the burger

192
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: and I will never come here again.

193
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 3: Now, more importantly, how was your pastrami?

194
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: Where it was great? It was wonderful, And it was

195
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: good because if I had given my pastrami back, they

196
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: would have spit Loogi's all over the pastrami if I'd

197
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: given the food back. But I did not do that,

198
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: and fortunately everything was all right. But yeah, it was

199
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: it was uncomfortable and I've had my shared Danny of

200
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: uncomfortable situations, and I try to not make a scene.

201
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: I I attempt to be like a wall, like a

202
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: plant on a wall, A wallflower is what I try

203
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: to be, just in the background there. But occasionally I

204
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: get dragged in to these situations. So the Big John.

205
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 4: But it backfired a little bit because by the time

206
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 4: he finally ate it, after he gave up, it was

207
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 4: probably cold.

208
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: Yes, yes it was. I will have more on the

209
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: coldness at another point, possibly this podcast. I might even

210
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: have it on this podcast. Johnny SPASTROMI was the scene

211
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: of the crime, but not the scene of the crime,

212
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: if you know what I'm saying, Dan.

213
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, it sounds like a couple of overpriced places are

214
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 4: going to be mentioned on this Saturday edition of Our

215
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 4: Fifth Hour. If you remember back to two baseball seasons ago,

216
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 4: and I spoke about it on this very podcast. The

217
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 4: WiFi and I at the time, I think we were engaged.

218
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 4: We took the family to Opening Night at Dodger Stadium,

219
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 4: and we were so excited. The seats were pricey, but

220
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 4: you kind of expect that for Opening day slash Opening Night.

221
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 4: What we did expect was the price of parking, the

222
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 4: overpriced food, which you know it's been overpriced in the past,

223
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 4: but now it's gone up tenfold. We wound up that

224
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 4: night spending nine hundred and fifty.

225
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 3: Dollars, Blank my blank, and blank you.

226
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 4: A family of five for Dodger Stadium nine hundred and

227
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 4: fifty dollars.

228
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: Yes, so reminds you when I was a kid and

229
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: they used to have commercials the greatest deal in town.

230
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: Dodger Baseball got out. Family of four could come out

231
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 1: for thirty dollars. Okay, yep.

232
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 4: Obviously left a really bad taste in our mouth. We

233
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 4: have not gone back to the ballpark since because that

234
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 4: we can't afford that, and it's easier and better to

235
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 4: just watch on our big flat screen in the living room.

236
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 4: But somebody offered me some seats, got four comp seats

237
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 4: and it was will smithlehead night. But I have an

238
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 4: eight month pregnant woman who needs to get as close

239
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 4: to the seats as possible. So the first security person

240
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 4: told us where to go for special parking that would

241
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 4: put us right near our section. And when we finally

242
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 4: get around the stadium, it's the back end of the

243
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 4: stadium where you can see the La City Skyline. Two

244
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 4: rude security guards later, we finally found Bugs, who listens

245
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 4: to this podcast bat right Bugs Bugs? And you know

246
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 4: why because after I introduced myself and talked to Bugs,

247
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 4: I told him all about the fifth hour, and he

248
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 4: promised he was going to tune in on his phone.

249
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 3: Right, And I said, give him a shout out. He

250
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 3: is the man.

251
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 4: He runs the parking lot basically, so all the radio

252
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 4: calls were coming to him, and so he put us.

253
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 3: In parking spot twenty.

254
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 4: He stood there and blocked the traffic while he let

255
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 4: me back into the spot.

256
00:13:58,679 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 3: It was beautiful.

257
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 4: But then when we got out of the car and

258
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 4: we started walking into the stadium, another security guard was like,

259
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 4: oh yeah, you have to walk like three blocks that way.

260
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 4: So here's my pregnant wife waddling like a big penguin

261
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 4: and I'm like, okay, let's go slow.

262
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 3: We're not in a hurry.

263
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 4: First forty thousand get this bobblehead. But we'll definitely be

264
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 4: part of that first forty thousand. So we get in there,

265
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 4: we get our bobbleheads, and you know how it is

266
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 4: with bobblehead night, What a thrill to hold that up.

267
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 4: It's like you know Lion King where they're holding the

268
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 4: next king up to the sky?

269
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: Heid you Jesus.

270
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 4: Instead of nine hundred and fifty dollars I paid dinner,

271
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 4: I paid parking.

272
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 3: What do you think it costs this time?

273
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: Well, I actually happened to be at that game Tuesday night, Danny.

274
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: I didn't know you were there. What I would have

275
00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: said low to you and your wife. But I did

276
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: walk around and I looked at the concessions, and my

277
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: my eyeballs literally popped out of my head when I

278
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: looked at the price of the food. So is you?

279
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: Your wife? Was it just and who?

280
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 3: And two of the kids?

281
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: The kids? And then the kids are they're cha teenagers? Okay,

282
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: so they eat a lot. I'm gonna say, for all

283
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: four of you food parking, did anyone get a souvenir?

284
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 3: Uh? Just a clear carry bag for my wifey?

285
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: Did you buy that outside the stadium? One of those

286
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: guys hacked hawking them outside of the station.

287
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 3: No. I bought it inside the gift shop.

288
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: Okay, so that costs you a lot more money. I'm

289
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:44,479
Speaker 1: gonna say.

290
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 4: Two point fifty really good, guess all right?

291
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 3: Two and twenty five dollars for the whole night.

292
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: All right, there you go. So as long as you

293
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: don't have to buy the tickets, you're you're, you're okay.

294
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 3: I guess that's what I was saying.

295
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 4: And I want to get some more seats and give

296
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 4: them away to our listeners that are in southern California,

297
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 4: because how in the hell can you bring your family

298
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 4: nowadays to a ballpark and pay for all of that.

299
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: No, it's it's insane. It's absolutely insane. And uh yeah,

300
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: it's what did you eat? By the way, what did

301
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: you did you get the chicken? There's a bunch of

302
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: new restaurants at Dodger Stadium, like, there's all kinds.

303
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 4: Of I found my way down to level two for

304
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 4: the food. It was like a Mexican spot racist carne

305
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 4: asada fries as well as nachos, and then a couple

306
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 4: of Dodger dogs and oh and a couple of carnea

307
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 4: sada tacos.

308
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: See, all right, let me know the next time you

309
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: because I have a hookup with the Dodger Dogs. I

310
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: can get your free Dodger dogs. I can do that.

311
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: That's about all I can get you.

312
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, you have a long trench coat with Dodger dogs

313
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 4: stuffed inside the pocket.

314
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know I know a guy, all right, and

315
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: you know I know a guy that would would help

316
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: me with that. But that's about it. Yeah, all right,

317
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: Well there you go.

318
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 3: So you go much much better experience.

319
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 4: And we were like, wow, that was nice back after

320
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 4: a two year protest. It was like we were Oakland

321
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 4: A's fans for two years.

322
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have not been out that much. I think

323
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get out there more now. You know, they're

324
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: they're forcing me against my will to come back to

325
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: the studio quite often. So I'm not in the north Woods.

326
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 1: It's a long drive and all that. Well, speaking of that,

327
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: I have my own Dodger related story to share and

328
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: we'll calling this fifteen point two miles. So I was

329
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: at the same Dodger game Danny was at. It was

330
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: on a Tuesday night, and so I have a whole routine,

331
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: It's a whole all this michigans I have to go

332
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: through to go to a game because I work at

333
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: night and I have to prepare for the show and

334
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: all this. So and I live so far away, it's

335
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: like when I come in, it's a hole to do.

336
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: So to go and plan out the whole night. I

337
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: was like, Okay. Originally I was going to eat it.

338
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: I get a bite to eat at the house, save

339
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: a little money. But my wife had worked an extra

340
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,479
Speaker 1: long shift at the police station. She's a nine one

341
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: to one operator, so she worked an extra long shift.

342
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: And she normally normally have lunch together, or she'll make

343
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: food for me or whatever, because on workdays I don't

344
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: really cook. And so and I happened to be eating

345
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 1: this dance and I didn't want to get up early.

346
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: So I was like, all right, I'll go find some food.

347
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: So I was like, I go anywhere I want, you know.

348
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: And I was like, you know what I'm gonna do.

349
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 1: I love Tito's Tacos. Oh yeah, I know. I'm gonna

350
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: stop by Tito's. I'll pick up some tacos. I'll quickly

351
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: get back on the road and I'll make it to

352
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,959
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium. I'll then eat the tacos in the parking

353
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: lot at Dodger Stadium. I will then go in and

354
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: I will prepare for the show. I had all planned

355
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: out in my head, right, best laid plans of mice

356
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: men and gas bags. So and it happened to be

357
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: Taco Tuesday, not that it matters. And so Tito's Tacos

358
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: is so good that I will literally empty my wallet.

359
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: And it is the worst. The price gouge you. It's

360
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: like a hotel after a hurricane and there's one room available.

361
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: They just gouge you. It's so embarrassing what they do

362
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: at that place. Five sixty five for a taco with cheese.

363
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: One taco they charged like a dollar fifty for cheese.

364
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: That's obscene too, But for me, five sixty five's about

365
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: my limit. Yeah, taco and I got a few tacos

366
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: and they give you a big box. And the cool

367
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: thing about Tito's they give you a box and they

368
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: put chips in there and salsa.

369
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 3: What did that used to cost you at Tito's.

370
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: I used to go. I remember my order. I could

371
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 1: get five tacos and it was like, I think it

372
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: was like eighteen bucks or something like that one point

373
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: when I first started going there. And I'm the kind

374
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: of guy when I go to restaurants, like I'm back

375
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: when I was single, I would always count out, I'd cash.

376
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: I paid with cash. Now everyone pays with Curray cars.

377
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: But I'd always bring the exact amount. And I can't

378
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: tell you the number of times I would go to

379
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: Tito's and over the years, and I'd bring the exact amount,

380
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: and then it'd be like, well that's two dollars more.

381
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: Now we raised our prices, you know.

382
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 3: I was like, wait a minute, So.

383
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 1: Anyway, so I get to the point, please, so I

384
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: get my tacos. I'm excited. I now I couldn't eat

385
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: them at Tito's. And the reason I couldn't eat them

386
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: at Titos, Danny, is I have not a handicap. But

387
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: I had my gallbladder taken out a few years back.

388
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: I think it was twenty twenty nineteen. I believe it was,

389
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: So I had my gallbladder taken out. So when you

390
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: have your gallbladder taken out, if you eat greasy foods

391
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: and you fast, it is those are all the ingredients

392
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: to a cluster bomb coming right out of your banunca dunk.

393
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: So I have to be close to a bath. Not

394
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: could have. I could have eaten at Titos and just

395
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: waited about half an hour for the explosion to happen.

396
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: But I decided not to do that because I wanted

397
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: to be closer to Dodger stay in and I figured

398
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: traffic would pile up. So I got my tacos, I

399
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,239
Speaker 1: get in the car, and I was literally only at

400
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: Tito's for like five minutes. There was no line because

401
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: why would there be aligned Most people don't want to

402
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: pay five sixty five for tacos. They used to always

403
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 1: be a line there, there'd be fifteen lines. Now every

404
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 1: time I go, there's no line whatever. So I get

405
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: in the car, I get set the GPS, I'm driving.

406
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: I'm driving, I'm cruising, and all of a sudden, oh no,

407
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: nothing but tail lights. Now, if you're not familiar with LA,

408
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,719
Speaker 1: there's a freeway, the ten Freeway, which guy know goes

409
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: all the way across the country, but in La proper

410
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: it ends at the Pacific Ocean in Santa Monica. From

411
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: the west side of LA goes all the way through

412
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: like Brent Woods around there, Culver City, the West Way.

413
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: These are some of the most congested parts of Los Angeles.

414
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 4: I would argue that that ten through Culver City is

415
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 4: the worst freeway in southern California, and.

416
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: I wouldn't disagree. Somehow, I had so I had a

417
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 1: brain fog and I just typed in the GPS I

418
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: didn't really look at the time, and I got on

419
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 1: the ten Freeway and it was fifteen point two miles

420
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: from Tito's to Dodger Stadium. You want to take a

421
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 1: guess how long it took me to get from Tito's

422
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: Tacos three thirty in the afternoon on a Tuesday, to

423
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: enjoy my nice lunch and then go to work.

424
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 4: What do you think, day, I'm going to say that

425
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 4: fifteen miles took an hour and fifty seven minutes.

426
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: Well, you actually went over, so you don't win. The

427
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: showcase showed own. It took ninety minutes. To me, that

428
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: was in ninety minutes an hour and a half to

429
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: go fifteen point two two miles. Slap me around a

430
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: little bit. That included me getting off the freeway and

431
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: circumventing through surface streets some of that. So what do

432
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: you think happened to my nice, hot, warm Tito's tacos

433
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: that I paid five sixty five for each?

434
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 3: Oh, they turned into cold, crappy.

435
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: Soggy, gooey ice ice baby Tito's tacos And that was

436
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: my and I still ate them because there were five

437
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: sixty five each, Dandy, I still ate those those damn tacos.

438
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: I ate them, but my goodness, what a freakin' I'll

439
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: never do that again. I've now determined now I might

440
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 1: go to Tito's again because I'm addicted because I went

441
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: there for years and it brings me back to when

442
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: I a younger time in my life. But I will

443
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: only go to Sherman Oaks because you can get to

444
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: Sherman Oaks quicker, which is I don't know how many

445
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: miles that is, but it only takes like a half

446
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: an hour to get to Sherman Oaks, ninety minutes to

447
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: go to downtown. He blew me off at a hotel

448
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: near La x. All right, moving on, we have the

449
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: phrase of the week. I think we'll push pop culture

450
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: due to time reasons here because I am on time

451
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: mall or buy the clock four the clock evenly plausibly

452
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: about the clock. We'll push that to the Sunday pops.

453
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 3: Did this start? Well?

454
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: I just began. It just began actually today. I just

455
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: started it today and I thought that would be good.

456
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: So the phrase of the week, are you ready for it?

457
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: Not the word of the week, that's that's old phrase

458
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: of the week.

459
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 3: Phrase of the week.

460
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: Yes, phrase of the week. Here it is sex, drugs

461
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: and rock and roll. The phrase of the week, Danny

462
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: g sex drugs and rock and roll, which is an idiom,

463
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: and that came up with me. That came up on

464
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 1: the show. That that's it. That's an idiot, right, that's

465
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 1: a you know, old expression of colloquialism or whatever. So

466
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: it came up on the on the radio show, and

467
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 1: I was like, where did that come from? I know

468
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: rock and roll? The term rock and roll was a

469
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: d in Cleveland that is credited with coming up with that.

470
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: That's why the rock and Roll Hall of Fame is

471
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, and so that's why they have that there.

472
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: I was like, what's up with the sex, drugs and

473
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: rock and roll? And I'd mentioned it for some reason

474
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: on the show, and I was like, what is going on?

475
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: And so I did a little search and I looked

476
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 1: it up. Do you know where that phrase came from?

477
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 2: Then?

478
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: Are you familiar with the phrase?

479
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 3: No?

480
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 4: No, I figured it was like from Chuck Berry doing

481
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 4: cocaine or something.

482
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: A bunch of hookers and cocaine. Yeah, exactly. Well, the

483
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: phrase was actually coined by a British singer and a

484
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: musician named Ian Dewry. I think that's your pronounce his name,

485
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: do you r y? You ever heard of that guy?

486
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 3: No?

487
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, I never heard him either. So he wrote and

488
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: released a single in nineteen seventy seven, that's when the

489
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: term started, nineteen seventy seven, and he called it sex,

490
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: Drugs and rock and Roll. And he released the song

491
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 1: under his own name. He had been part of a

492
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: punk band called Ian Dury and the Blockheads. That sounds

493
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: like that sounds like a good name for a punk bank.

494
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: My favorite part of the story, though, here's my favorite part.

495
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 3: You're ahead.

496
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: So this guy creates this song called sex, Drugs and

497
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: rock and Roll, and no one gave a fuck. Nobody

498
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: bought the song. The song was not a hit. It

499
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: sold in the entire world nineteen thousand copies. That's it. Wow,

500
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: that's all but the phrase, the title of the song,

501
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: what a rip? I know, right? How pissed must that

502
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: guy's dead now he died.

503
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 3: He should have at least made some money off the

504
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 3: stupid song.

505
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: I know, right. And maybe it's a terrible song. I

506
00:26:58,359 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: don't know, I've never heard.

507
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it was a good slogan, but not a

508
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 4: good song.

509
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: Maybe, yeah, it's a good name for a restaurant, but

510
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: the food sucks. You know, It's like it's like Dick's

511
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: last resort. You're like, oh that food.

512
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 3: I don't know about that.

513
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, So that is the phrase of the week. Sex,

514
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: drugs and rock and roll. Created nineteen seventy seven by

515
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: a random punk musician from Britain and singer, and the

516
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: song was a dud. Nobody bought it, but the term

517
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,239
Speaker 1: has lived on. That guy died twenty he's got at

518
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: age fifty seven. He was, you know, relatively young. You're

519
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: not supposed to die at that age. And he died

520
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: in two thousands, so he's been gone for twenty three years,

521
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: and still to this day that term is used regularly.

522
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 4: DJs have single handedly kept that phrase alive.
