He's the last remnants 4 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 2: of the old republic, a sol 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.

I've got well tonight I will see at 14 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: least part of Michigan State and USC. Are they calling 15 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:55,959 Speaker 1: it Big ten after dark? I don't if they're calling 16 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: it Big ten after dark, but that's the late game. 17 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: I did see Michigan State complaining about that. I'll be 18 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 1: checking that game out. I think Belichick in North Carolina. 19 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: If I can find that game, they play you UCF, 20 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: which is like a halfway decent opponent. 21 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 3: So the whole country is going to be tuned into 22 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:15,279 Speaker 3: that one. 23 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: I think that's the game, and then not really yeah yeah, 24 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: and then what's the big one? Well, I guess Auburn 25 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: Oklahoma's the biggest. 26 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 3: The huge game is Boise and air Force. 27 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's all when you throw out the records. 28 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: When they get together, Danny, they get together, you throw 29 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: out the records. But anyway, we'll be be flipping around here. 30 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: And then if you're an old time nostalgic college football fan, 31 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: you've got Michigan and Nebraska. Who Nebraska thirty years ago 32 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: was the juggernaut of college football. Michigan's had their moments. 33 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: So anyway, some of the games today in college football. 34 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: But on this podcast, Danny, we have tuna fish sandwiches, 35 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: damn it, and the Suburban Explorer. But we're gonna start 36 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: with this. So I checked the mail bag last night 37 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: and based on events that have taken place the last 38 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: couple of days, so I got some feedback on Clayton Kershaw. 39 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: People very upset with my Clayton Kershaw take offended by 40 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: my position on Clayton Kersher, which was the accurate position, 41 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: by the way, the accurate take on Clayton Kershaw. 42 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 3: When I heard this promo run on FSR Friday during 43 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 3: Covino and Rich, I just shook my head. 44 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: Well, you can shake your head all you want, it's reality. 45 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw has cost the Dodgers multiple World Series championships 46 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: because he comes up tiny in big games. You gotta think, Danny, 47 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: this era of Dodger baseball, they would have at least three, 48 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: probably four more World championships if Clayton Kershaw actually lived 49 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: up to the way he is in the regular season. 50 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: So I don't have any regrets on that. He should 51 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: have retired five years ago. So fine. I did a 52 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: monologue on that, and then a lot of people have 53 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: been complaining. They say, what about the Komodo dragon in 54 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: the room? Several cents some version Danny of Hey, big Ben, 55 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: I love your show, but you know what that means. 56 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: Why didn't you dressed the Jimmy Kimmel story on the show. 57 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: So I didn't mention the Jimmy Kimmel story on the show. 58 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: I would like to put out though, Danny, this is 59 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: kind of thing that annoys me because I've mentioned this 60 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: many times that we don't normally go down those roads. 61 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel off the air because of pressure 62 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: from the Federal Communications. 63 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 3: Commission be careful about this. 64 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: Well, the stories everywhere right, and the person running the 65 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: FCC was upset that Kimmel made some partisan talking point 66 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: crap about what's. 67 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 3: The guy's name that Charlie Kirk. 68 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk, Yeah, that was killed, And so kim O 69 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: regurgitated some stuff on TV and everyone's kind of an agreement. 70 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: No one's watching late night TV, but everyone up in 71 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: arms over this, and so now it's one of those 72 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: bizarre things. Jimmy Kimmel. Back in the day we crossed 73 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: pass I and Jimmy Kimmel in what I considered Danny 74 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: the glory days, glory days of LA Radio, back when 75 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: Jimmy was doing Carl Malone impersonations on k Rock in 76 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: the morning, the old Utah jazz player, and I was 77 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: doing afternoon gas baggery, and Ryan Seacrest was over at 78 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: Star ninety eight point seven playing boy band records, and 79 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: all of us climbing the media ladder Danny and somehow 80 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: two of these guys became megastars, and I ended up 81 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: singing cheeseburgers at three in the morning. But aside from that, 82 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: it is bizarre. 83 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 3: You're talking about you're an international TV star. 84 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, but it is bizarre. Oh, don't forget to watch 85 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: Benny Versus Penny. It is bizarre. It's on YouTube YouTube 86 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: dot com slash at Benny Vspenny. It is bizarre when 87 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: you see a national story, like someone international story, and 88 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: you cross paths with them at some point in your life. 89 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: It's like when Lauren Sanchez married Jeff Bezos and I 90 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: used to see Lauren a lot at the Laker games 91 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: back in there. It's very wacky. But the Jimmy Kimmel thing, 92 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: regardless of that, we generally don't go down this way. 93 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: I'll give you my ten cent take on this, and 94 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: this is my position. Jimmy Kimmel was hired years ago 95 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: as a comedian, and you're supposed to sell laughs, not 96 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: political lectures and all that stuff. He is paid to 97 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: be the court gesture, not the court justice. And it's 98 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: it's always a dangerous game when you confuse those things. 99 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: It's like if you worked at in and out Burger 100 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, I said, you know what, 101 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: I don't want to hand out cheeseburgers. I want to 102 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: hand out tuna fish sandwiches. Well, nobody wants tuna fish sandwiches. 103 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: They go there for the cheeseburger. Well, no, I want 104 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: I think people need tuna fish sandwiches. Well, they don't 105 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: want tuna fish sandwiches. Well some people might want them. Yes, 106 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: some people might want them, but they're going to go 107 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: to a restaurant that service tuna fish sandwiches. They're not 108 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: going to go to an out burger, you know, And 109 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: they'll say I didn't order that. And now I will 110 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: tell you, Danny, and to tow the line here, the 111 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: FCC sniffing around to me, that's the thing that gets 112 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: your attention. And I believe they should stay out of 113 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: it because when it's it's like one of those ping 114 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: pong games, Danny, that you know, you don't want to 115 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: go down that road because then whoever's in control of 116 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: the politics will mute the other side. So I think 117 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: you just don't want to go down that road. You're 118 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: not going to win. It's a problem exactly. FCC is 119 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: not supposed to be about picking sides. It's supposed to 120 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: be about, like us, talking about bodily functions and things 121 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 1: like that. Yes, yes, little Johnny, can't hear us do 122 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: a poopy joke. 123 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 3: They can't hear us say, shit, that's supposed to be 124 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 3: what the FCC is for. 125 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. So it's just it's one of those things. 126 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: And obviously a lot of you know where I am politically, 127 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter, like I'm not a very political person. 128 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: You're whoever you like, whatever team you root for, whether 129 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: it's the Red team or the Blue team, is not 130 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: going to be in power forever, and then the other 131 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 1: team's going to get control and then they're going to 132 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: do the same thing. And it's just it's just a 133 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: bad not the kind of precedent you want to say, exactly. 134 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: And I don't think I'm concerned, Danny that anyone who's 135 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: in the White House will be worried about me saying 136 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: the dolphins rode the vomit commet or they're not gonna 137 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: knock on the mallor mansion at well in the morning. 138 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 3: You are the captain of the safe harbor. 139 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not gonna say you said, Dak Prescott is 140 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: what Charlie checked out. Oh my god. But it is 141 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: the slippery slope, and that's that's the point one of 142 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: my I don't know, honestly, Hero but when I was 143 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: a kid, my parents used to watch Johnny Carson, the 144 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: King of late night television. I went back and I looked, 145 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: and Johnny Carson averaged in the seventies and the eighties, 146 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: he averaged six to eight million people a night watching. Now, 147 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: there weren't many channels, there was no internet, so you 148 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: can make all these statements about that, but he averaged 149 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: six to eight million people a night. If he had 150 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: a big, big star guest on their big name, he'd 151 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: get nine or ten million. Major League Baseball on average, 152 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: a Major League Baseball game on Fox gets one point 153 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: eight million. An NBA game on ESPN gets about one 154 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: point five million. They average, Johnny Carson was getting three 155 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: four times that a night. One on the Tonight Show. 156 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: That is nuts. And Carson said this quote. I'm sure 157 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: you saw it, Danny. He said this back and I 158 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: think the seventies or the eighties, but it made its 159 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: way back and somebody, I think it was on sixty 160 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: Minutes and said that. One of the people asked him said, 161 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: why don't you talk about politics on the Tonight Show? 162 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: And Johnny said, well, why do Why do they think 163 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: that just because you have a Tonight Show that you 164 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: must deal in serious issues. He warned that the danger, 165 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: and it's a real danger once you start that, you 166 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: start to get that self important feeling is a quote 167 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: by the way, that what you say has great import 168 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: and you know, strangely enough, you could use that show 169 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: as a forum, Carson said, back then, you could stay 170 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: way people. You sway people, and I don't think you 171 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: should as an entertainer. And then some people say, wow, 172 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: he's old. You know he's dead now. But I would 173 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: argue that Carson knew his role. He told jokes. Here's 174 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: what Carson did. He told jokes. He played tennis in Malibu, 175 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,719 Speaker 1: and he cashed massive checks. Most of that money went 176 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: to his many ex wives. But he did all of 177 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: those things, and he rarely wandered into into the political 178 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: world and all that because he knew that once you 179 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 1: take that detour, your toast and if you start believing 180 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: you're the pope of pop culture, that whatever you're doing, 181 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: your monologue or whatever, is the state of the Union address, 182 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: it's it's it just doesn't work out for you. So 183 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: but I don't understand. It's like Jimmy Kimmel, if he's 184 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: really that into it. Again, I don't think he should 185 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: have been taken off. There would my position, if he's 186 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 1: that political, why didn't he go to like CNN or 187 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: in MSNBC or something to do a political show, And 188 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 1: then nobody would care because he's doing like a political show. 189 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: But it's it's wild. Any within the next year, there 190 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: will be no late night TV. Kimmel's out, Colbert's going out. 191 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: You and I talked about this during COVID. Remember nobody 192 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: really noticed that the late night shows were on old reruns. 193 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: Nobody cared. 194 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, and during the writers strike, same thing, nobody gave 195 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 3: us shit. 196 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. And then and their argument is that 197 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: those shows are mostly just for the clips online. But 198 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallons his days are hope he saved money because 199 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: he's next the three stooges who were the last three 200 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: on what for our childhood named Late Night TV. 201 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 3: He was, Oh, and I read that Saturday Night Live 202 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 3: is also in the firing line. 203 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: Really yeah, so and that was. 204 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 3: Just rumors, but you know that's that was making the 205 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 3: rounds on a couple of articles I saw last week. 206 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: So again, just to put the ball on this in 207 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: these parts on the radio show and usually here as well, 208 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: as I like to say, we also are in the 209 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: cheeseburger business. I run a little cheeseburger stand. It's Benny's Burgers. 210 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: I sell Benny's burgers. I have fries, maybe a milkshake, 211 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: and that's it. You will not get a kill salad. 212 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: I do not sell a kill salad. You do not 213 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: get a fruit smoothie. 214 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 3: I don't sell no lettuce raps either. 215 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: I don't definitely don't have any lettuce. Yeah, hashtag Benny's buns. 216 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: I generally avoid politics and whatnot. And if you want 217 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: a caesar salad, you can go somewhere else. If you 218 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: want burger, right here and get the burger. And so 219 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: we'll see. Jimmy Kible's made a ton of money. I'm 220 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: assuming he's financially financially set. And you know what'll end 221 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: up doing, Danny if the TV show is completely put, 222 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: he'll do what everyone else does. He'll do a podcast. 223 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: That's what he's gonna do, right, Yeah, why not? There 224 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: you go, get a podcast.

Yeah. They used to have him go out to 240 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 1: the Dodgy games, and I remember one time during the playoffs, 241 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: this is probably ten fifteen years ago, and they made 242 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: him wear like a diaper type thing, and it was 243 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: so funny watching because they would record stuff and he'd 244 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: be the clown, you know. 245 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, And you could. 246 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: Tell when they stopped recording how pissed off he was 247 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: that they made him wear this thing and walk around. 248 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 1: He was really annoyed. But you know, I don't know 249 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: what that guy's gonna do. You know, that's that's a 250 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: very specific job, Danny being the sidekick on a eight 251 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: night TV show. 252 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're you're gonna be typecast. 253 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's not a lot of bounce back on something 254 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: like that. 255 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 3: I believe, you know what, he can do a podcast exactly. 256 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 1: Like just everyone everyone will do a podcast.

So anyway, that's those 259 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: are my thoughts on the on the Kimmel the aftermath 260 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 1: with Gimo exactly the FCC with become an anti culture musician, 261 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: you know, come up with songs.

And that's how I was 267 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 3: feeling when Covino and Rich's show on Friday ended, because 268 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 3: I put two weeks of work into a new on 269 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 3: air game. Now, maybe you could shed some light on 270 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 3: this process bending because I know you've been in the 271 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 3: same boat. What's it like when you get an idea 272 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,839 Speaker 3: in your p brain and you think to yourself, you 273 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 3: know what this is going to take some tweaking here 274 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 3: and there, but this game with the Mallard Militia, this 275 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 3: could actually work. 276 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah for sure. And I'll get an idea 277 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: sometimes driving around or something like that. I'll get an 278 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: idea in my head and then I'll immediately what I 279 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: do is I pull my phone out, I go to 280 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: the notes app on my phone, and then I'll type 281 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: a few things like whatever, because I don't want to 282 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: I want to lose type some thoughts in right. 283 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 3: It's kind of like when a song comes to a musician. 284 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. So I'll jot down a few 285 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: random thoughts and then after that I will kind of 286 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: workshop it, like I'll go back to it like Frankenstein's 287 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: lab and try to, you know, jot down some other stuff. 288 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: And you got to kind of map it out.

What do I win? 353 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 3: Well, the problem is the contestant again didn't give an answer, 354 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 3: and when we're like, dude, are you there, he was like, oh, 355 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 3: damn it. The problem was, I unfortunately got a contestant 356 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 3: on the debut of the new game who wasn't really 357 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 3: with it late to the party, and because of that, 358 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 3: now Rich is over there like, well, we got to 359 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 3: redo how the rules are and we should change it 360 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 3: to where we all write down an answer and maybe 361 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 3: if enough of us match, then he gets a point. 362 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 3: And now instead of this being a successful game that 363 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,199 Speaker 3: I spent two weeks of my life investing in, because 364 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 3: of one damit contestant, I have to rework the entire game. 365 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: Well, the lesson on that Danny is to never underestimate 366 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: the power of dumb people that call radio shows. You 367 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: can never underestimate the power of the listener. I tried. 368 00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if you were with me at the 369 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: time or not, but I tried to do a spelling 370 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: bee on the show. 371 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 3: I wasn't with you, but I was listening to that mess. 372 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And because in my head, I was like, well, 373 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: most of the names are pretty easy to spell, like 374 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: all right, you know, like George Brett or something like that. 375 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: You would think, and then you start doing it, and 376 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 1: I I cannot understate how bad people are at spelling. 377 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: I can't, you know. I thought, well, this was in 378 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: the ear when like the hardest name was like Mark 379 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 1: Grizzlanic or something like that. You say, okay, fine, Grizzlnik's 380 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: a tough name. He was a big baseball player years ago. 381 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,120 Speaker 1: But the normal names and people just didn't know how 382 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: to spell, and it would drive me. It drive me nuts. 383 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 1: And also a lot of the people, and I get it, 384 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: this is not their life, right, Danny, were invested in 385 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: this because we do this for a living. But if 386 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: you're a sports fan, you're kind of casual. Most people 387 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: are and it's entertainment. 388 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 3: I feel like most of our listeners though, would have 389 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 3: shouted out Tony Gwyn. 390 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: I would like to think, yeah, and how it depends 391 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: how old you are, though, I guess. 392 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 3: And so with some games we empower the contestant the caller, 393 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 3: and in other games like this, I think I'm gonna 394 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 3: have to take the power out of their hands. In 395 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 3: other words, I'm gonna have to have like Covino and 396 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 3: Rich be the team and then give them the city 397 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 3: and count to three for them, and beforehand ask the 398 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,679 Speaker 3: contestant whether or not they think Coveno and ritual match 399 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 3: and if they if they get that answer right, then 400 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 3: they get the point. So I think I'm gonna have 401 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 3: to think outside the box a little bit. That way, 402 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 3: the power is not in the listener's hands. 403 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, you want to limit the amount of power that 404 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: the caller has by all all accounts, and then at 405 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: some point you'll you'll nail it and then you'll be 406 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 1: like Mary Poppins and super califragile xbi alidosis and all that. 407 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: You'll get it down. 408 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 3: So yeah, but for the rest of the weekend, I'm 409 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 3: going to be shaking my head saying damn it, I. 410 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: Hear you on that. So I got one other thing 411 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 1: I wanted to mention this, and then we'll get out 412 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: on this. So you know, a little bit of a 413 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: story time if you oil again. So this past week 414 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: it is Saturday to any the Life of malor the 415 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: Life of Danny g a tradition on this podcast which 416 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: is not overvalued, by the way, it is not overvalued 417 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: at all, and the loyalist of this podcast appreciated. So. 418 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 1: So anyway, the other day this week, it was a 419 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: random weekday, the usual routine, sleep during the day, wake 420 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: up early afternoons, splash some water on the old face there, 421 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: grumble towards the mirror and make sure everything's still where 422 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: it needs to be, and then step outside and that 423 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 1: evil son like I'm a vampire, what's going on here? 424 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: And then you're out walking around. So anyway, I at 425 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: the beginning of the day, like everyone else going there, 426 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 1: put some water on your face, go outside. On this 427 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: particular day, I made the noble, if misguided, decision to 428 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: go to the gym. The plan was simple, to go 429 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: to the treadmill, have my phone in my hand, catching 430 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: up on the sports news of the day, futsing around 431 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 1: on my phone while pretending I was, you know, was 432 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: working out and not just fusing around on my phone 433 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,959 Speaker 1: and all that. Anyway, So I drove to the gym. 434 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 1: It was uneventful. The parking space was secured, got a 435 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:21,679 Speaker 1: good parking place. The mission was clear until fate intervened. 436 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: So I parked the car backed in, because that's what 437 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: we do. We back into the space and then I 438 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 1: off the door. I opened the door, I get out 439 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: of the car, and then I reached back in to 440 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: grab my trusty air pods that I got a couple 441 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: of years ago, the ones that are supposed to have 442 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: the hearing aids so I can hear a little bit 443 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: better because I have radio ears and stuff. So I 444 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: reached back in. I grabbed my trusty air pods, the 445 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 1: lifeblood of any treadmill session. And unfortunately, when I reached 446 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: down for the air pods and reached back out of 447 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 1: the maladmobile, the handoff was botched. I think Bill Buckner 448 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: back in the day leon let Thanksgiving. 449 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 3: Why do I feel like you've done this before. 450 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 1: I have done this before. It just happened again. But 451 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: this is a different tale. So the air podcase on 452 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: this one before I had some ripoff AirPods. These were 453 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: the actual AirPods. I just got these like a year ago. 454 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 1: So the air pod case hit the and it was 455 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: very hot, you know, we had this was it Mario. 456 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: The tropical storm Mario was off the Pacific coast this week. 457 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, for those on the East coast Mario. 458 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, we actually got rain and it was very humid. 459 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 1: It felt like floored. I felt like I was in 460 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 1: the South, Yes, this week in southern California. I don't 461 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: like the humidity. I felt like we were in the 462 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: humidity South Carolina or something. So the air pod case 463 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: hit the ninety it seemed like I think it was 464 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 1: ninety five ninety seven degrees something like that asphalt, and 465 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 1: it made that kind of sickening clatter sound, you know. 466 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: And I'm looking down and it's like slow motion as 467 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: this has happened, like, oh man, no, So I of 468 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: course then go down. I scooped down to grab the 469 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: case of the AirPods. I then opened them up and discovered, 470 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: to my horror that I had the case to the headphones, 471 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: but when it hit the ground, there were no headphones inside. 472 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: They had been ejected like out of a plane, the 473 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 1: parachuters abandon the planes. 474 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 3: It was like you were shooting dice. 475 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. So suddenly my priority was no longer the workout. 476 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: At this point it became a search and rescue mission 477 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: to try to find my air buds. And I scoured 478 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: the parking lot. In between my car and the car 479 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,159 Speaker 1: next to me. I'm scanning the blacktop. It's shimmering with 480 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: heat waves. Right, I'm like, oh crap, I don't see anything. 481 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: And you should be able to find these, the little 482 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 1: white earbuds on a black blacktop. You should be a 483 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: fun So my hunch was that they just rolled under 484 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: the car and and I should just be able to 485 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: get down there and grab them, no problem. So I 486 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 1: did the thing you didn't want to do on a 487 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 1: very hot day on hot asphalt. I dropped to my 488 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: knees on the boiling asphalt. Danny and I became at 489 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 1: that point that became a suburban explorer. 490 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 3: This was not the Lax Airport parking lot, right. 491 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: He blew me off at a hotel near Lax. No no, no, no, 492 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 1: no no no. So I'm peering into the darkness here, 493 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: I'm peering into the darkness. And at this point I 494 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: can't see anything because even though it was the daylight, 495 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: the car the shade. So then I, of course I 496 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: did what anyone would do. I grabbed my phone to 497 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 1: turn the light on on my phone. So now I'm 498 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: on the ground, I've got my arm extended with the 499 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: light on of my phone, and sure enough I did 500 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: spot one AirPod tucked under the belly of the malamobile. 501 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: And unfortunately, it is Murphy's law, it was just out 502 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: of reach of my hand. You know, you know how 503 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 1: you reach for something, Danny, you just can't quite get it. 504 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: It's just a little bit past where your arm will reach. 505 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: And so my arm wasn't long enough. My pride even 506 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 1: shorter at this particular point. But I was still like, 507 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: I was like, where's the other earbud? And so the 508 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,439 Speaker 1: dilemma that I had, as you referenced, Danny, I'm a klutz. 509 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 1: This has happened to me before. This is not the 510 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 1: first time. I'm sure it will not be the last time. 511 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 1: So here's the dilemma. Was I couldn't just move the 512 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: car without Why couldn't I just move the car because 513 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 1: if I did, I might end up by accident crushing 514 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: the other earbud because I didn't know where it was. 515 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: I hadn't recovered it. I didn't know where it was. 516 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 1: So here I am a grown ass man, sprawled out again. 517 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,679 Speaker 1: I'm on the asphalt there, covered at this point in 518 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: asphalt grime, and I'm essentially re enacting like it was 519 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 1: like a Vaudevillian slapstick thing. It was like the old 520 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 1: Three Stooges, except it was just me and all I 521 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: needed was the the Benny Hill soundtrack. That's all I needed. 522 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: And it's one of those things, you know, this happens 523 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: to us things I missing things slowing down when I 524 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: dropped the earbuds. So this felt like I was on 525 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 1: the ground for thirty minutes. It was probably just a 526 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: few minutes. And then then here we go, Dan, this 527 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: is where the story takes a plot twist. So a 528 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 1: scene right out of Dickens My Salvation arrived a passing 529 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: jimbro in his car. Seeing what was going on. In 530 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: his peripheral vision, he sees me and feeling pity, he 531 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: rolled down the window and shouted, hey, hey Bro, you're 532 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: looking for your AirPod like that right, So why yes? 533 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: I am? Yes, I am. I was like out of 534 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: the wonderful life or something. My guardian Angel, Danny. He 535 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: pointed it a say, it's under your right front tire, 536 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 1: bro and uh, and then. 537 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 3: He ran the hell did he see that yet binoculars? 538 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: I guess because of where he was positioned, he could 539 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: see what I couldn't see because I was on the 540 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,640 Speaker 1: side and he was in the front. Anyway, I don't 541 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: know how it got there because I dropped it on 542 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 1: the driver's side door and it ended up in front 543 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: of the passenger tire. I don't know how it ended 544 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: up there. So anyway, thanks to that person, it was 545 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: wedged precariously in the exact spot where I was worried, Danny, 546 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: if I moved the car, I would have turned the 547 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: you know, a couple hundred dollars headphone technology into roadkill. 548 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: And just like that, that AirPod Angel. I don't know 549 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: who this guy was. He saved me from myself and 550 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: I recovered the earbud. The story had a happy ending. 551 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: I staggered into the gym. I could imagine. 552 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 3: I can imagine though, when you first had to get 553 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 3: down on the hot asphalt. 554 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was terrible. But it gets even worse, Danny, 555 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: It gets even worse right, So here I am. I 556 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: recover the earbud. I staggered into the gym defeated, right, 557 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: But I not necessarily defeated, because I got my earbuds back. 558 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: But at this point, I'm disheveled, I'm sweaty, I smell. 559 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: I haven't even worked out yet, and I've got you know, 560 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,719 Speaker 1: when you lay on the asphalt, you get that black 561 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: kind of asphalt dust crap on ith. Yeah, so my 562 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: clothes have it, my knees have it. I'm looking like 563 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: it doesn't look like I'm a member of the gym. 564 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: It looks like I'm a vagrant, like a hobo that 565 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: just made a wrong turn. They let me in the 566 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: gym out a pity, and people were looking at me, 567 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: and I don't want you look. Don't look at me, Okay, 568 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: come on, look at the beautiful people. Don't look at me. 569 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: And anyway, the earbuds were in my ears. They got 570 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: some music going. I was futching around on my phone 571 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: and all was right in the world after that, And 572 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: so there you go. It's rarely another another story. Dad. 573 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: It's not not about the treadmill. It's about the moments 574 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: before you even get to the treadmill in this case. 575 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: And so whoever that person was, I'm sure they won't 576 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: hear this the AirPod angel, but thank you. I appreciate that. 577 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: I did not expect someone to save me from myself there. 578 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: So there you go. And I guess the lesson for 579 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: me next time, and I have done this multiple times, 580 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: is when I get my headphones, at least leave the 581 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: car doors closed when I go for my headphones. Wouldn't 582 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: that be the smart move rather than get out of 583 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: the car and open up the headphones? 584 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, reverse order. I gotta remember to do that. 585 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: I don't. I'm usually tired when I go there, so 586 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: that's part of the problem. All right, Well we'll get 587 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: out on that, Danny.
