What's going on? 178 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 3: No, no, no, this is when Lebron James transforms the NBA 179 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 3: off season into his own personal stage. It's his own 180 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 3: soap opera. And this was all over the place yesterday. 181 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 3: And now I obviously I wasn't working. I did the 182 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 3: overnight show, but I was off Friday night after we 183 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,839 Speaker 3: did the I hope you enjoyed the pod with all 184 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 3: the audio in it from the different coaches, But so 185 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 3: so Friday, all day there's these Lebron stories. You know, 186 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 3: he's not happy. Here's why he's not happy with the Lakers. 187 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 3: He is clutching center stage like a Broadway diva denied 188 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 3: her spotlight. Right the it's the Summer Special, the Summer 189 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 3: of Lebron, and it is classic, like Captain Ego himself 190 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 3: making it all about him. This is the attention, horror 191 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 3: of attention. Hoos, the spotlight, the spotlight, addict Danny is 192 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 3: at it again. 193 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: Now you're a Laker guy, this is your team. 194 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 4: He's not long in the Purple nguld Ben, and I'm 195 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 4: looking forward to this because whichever team he graces next 196 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 4: is going to be the team you rant on endlessly. 197 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 4: And I can't wait to pass the baton to a 198 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 4: different NBA organization. 199 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 3: Well, we'll see what happens. But using useful idiots in 200 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 3: the the meaning. When I see these stories, and there 201 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 3: were a bunch of them yesterday, I try to figure out. 202 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 3: It's fun game. 203 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 4: I like to play. 204 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 3: Where did the story originate? Did it come from the Lakers, 205 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 3: did it come from Lebron? Did it come from a 206 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 3: third party. And it's pretty easy once you kind of 207 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 3: get the lay of the land to figure out which 208 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 3: stories are being planted by Lebron, which stories are being 209 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 3: planted by the Lakers. And it's a pretty fun game 210 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 3: to play. But Lebron's always doing the passive aggressive thing. 211 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 3: He's got his buddies in the media. Rich Paul is 212 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 3: the guy that's kind. 213 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: Of the middleman on that, and it's like Lebron's doing 214 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: this one man Shakespearean tragedy to leave the Lakers or 215 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: not to leave the Lakers. That is the question. The 216 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 1: drama begins, but it is. 217 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 3: It's wild, and the chronicles will continue at least for 218 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 3: another couple months. 219 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 4: It seems that he's always unhappy because no matter what 220 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 4: a front office does, they're not doing enough to put 221 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 4: other stars in play around him to help him win. 222 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 4: But then when he gets a true big time star 223 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 4: like Luca, then that takes away from him being the 224 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 4: top dog, and he doesn't like that either. 225 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 3: So you're saying, Lebron, you're damned if you do, you're 226 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 3: damned if you don't. Exactly, this one seems to be, Hey, 227 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 3: I was the hot girl at the at the bar. 228 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 3: I got all the attention, and now there's another woman 229 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 3: that's shown up and the guys are giving her all 230 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 3: the attention. 231 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: Lebron didn't like it. 232 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 4: Bach This is an afternoon drive djay who was getting 233 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 4: all the remote set of radio station doing all the 234 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 4: live broadcasts, and the morning show was kind of lame. 235 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 4: And then suddenly management brings in a big shot morning 236 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 4: stud and that guy starts getting all the live broadcasts 237 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 4: and takes all the attention away, and the afternoon dude 238 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 4: is like, hey, wait, what about me, HOOMI, what about me? 239 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: What about me? 240 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 4: No, I'm not speaking from experience. That never happened to me. 241 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 1: No, that would never. That does not happen in radio. 242 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 3: You know everyone they just worry about their real estate, right, 243 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 3: They don't worry about anyone real estate. That's the way 244 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 3: that it works. So we turned the page on that. 245 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 3: Now yesterday, oh, yesterday, really quick, yesterday. I need to 246 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 3: address this. 247 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 4: Okay.

You're around my age when 292 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: we would go to the movies. The movies. The theaters 293 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: were not bad. They were nice and cool, but there 294 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: was bubble gum all over the place, you know, there 295 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: was They were not like they are now the movie theaters. No. 296 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 3: So we were at the movies and we saw F one. 297 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 3: My wife wanted to see it. Of all, I have 298 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 3: a shock because she's not really into sports, but she's like, 299 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 3: I want to check it out. So I was, all right, well, 300 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 3: I'll go. And then this thing was two hours and 301 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 3: thirty minutes, Danny. 302 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 4: It went on forever. 303 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: Ninety minutes. 304 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 3: Shows and movies should be ninety like a Broadway show, 305 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:04,479 Speaker 3: a Vegas show ninety minutes. That's like forty minutes intermission 306 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 3: and then like another whatever's left and then and that's it. 307 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 3: So but everyone out there went to the bougie theater. 308 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 3: The movie was well done. Uh it's just crazy to 309 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 3: me watching this how popular F one is in the 310 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 3: rest of the world and nobody in America gives a 311 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 3: shit about F one racing. It's it's like soccer, you know, 312 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 3: it's it's like I think soccer or football. This is 313 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 3: the rest of the world calls it. That is more 314 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 3: popular than America than F one racing. But I've been 315 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 3: to a few NASCAR races in my radio past. 316 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: Booging and bugging and beg and I'd never been to. 317 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 3: An F one race. I really never wanted to go. 318 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 3: I know they have them in Vegas. You know, they 319 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 3: the Eurocentric cocktail of you know, rich people, champagne, massive egos, 320 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 3: all that. And so this movie, the the theory behind 321 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 3: it is rather simple. 322 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: I was doing a little digging on this, and again, 323 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: the movie is fine. It was good. It was kind 324 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: of predictable. 325 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 3: But the over garks in charge of F one, it's 326 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 3: one of the real embarrassments for F one racing that 327 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 3: they have not been able. 328 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: To make a dent in America. They just nobody cares here. 329 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 3: So the theory is they decided, the oil barons and 330 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 3: the people that have put all the money in F one, 331 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 3: they decided, Hey, the key to get into the hearts, minds, 332 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 3: and souls of the American audience is the chisel jawline 333 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 3: of Brad Pitt.

They didn't know what 507 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 4: to do because now Dan Byer's like doing all this 508 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 4: crazy hand signals because he was worried about it sounding 509 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 4: like an eas alert alert, which we talked about at 510 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 4: the start of this podcast. 511 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not. You can't do that. You get in 512 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: a lot of trouble with you. 513 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 4: You get in a lot of trouble if you are 514 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 4: a radio station and they're sounds of an alert. 515 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, you could get a big fine. Well, and our 516 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 1: problem is that's per station. 517 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 3: So depending on how many affiliates you have you can 518 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:07,959 Speaker 3: do the math on that. 519 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: That's you're fired? 520 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 4: Is what that? 521 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: Somebody's fired that? 522 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, we had to think quick. I grabbed an interview 523 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 4: that they had done and I broke into what they 524 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 4: were doing, which wasn't hard because they were kind of 525 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 4: figuring out on the spot what to do. And I said, hey, guys, 526 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 4: you know you referenced this interview you just did a 527 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 4: couple of days ago. Here's what they were talking about. 528 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 4: And so I go to tape. They come in and 529 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,680 Speaker 4: they're like, oh, thanks, we weren't sure what to do there. 530 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 4: And Buyer comes running in. He's like, yeah, we can't 531 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 4: have that alarm sound coming through the speakers. This clip 532 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 4: right here is going to play for a few more minutes. 533 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 4: I'm sure this is going to be over. How long 534 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 4: do you think the damn alarms were going off? 535 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 1: Well, it's during the day. At night, they would seem 536 00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: to go on for five to ten minutes. It seemed 537 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: like a fair amount of time, and it seemed like 538 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: it was a decent amount of time. 539 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 4: This alarm system went off for twenty two minutes. 540 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 1: Twenty two minutes, jeez see. 541 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 4: We could even get out of the first segment they 542 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 4: had to beaz what was coming up with the sirens 543 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 4: blasting behind them. It was a shit show. And later 544 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 4: in the hour they were able to laugh and I think, 545 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 4: you know, after the fact, it was kind of funny, 546 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 4: but during the moment it was deer in headlights, like 547 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 4: they had no idea what to do with that siren 548 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 4: sound blasting behind them. 549 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 1: Well, it's good to know that. 550 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 3: I'm sure you let engineering make them aware of that 551 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,880 Speaker 3: to make sure that doesn't go off in the studio. 552 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 4: Funny you mentioned that because came wandering over about twenty 553 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 4: minutes later and pops his head into talk to Iowa Sam, 554 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 4: and Iowa Sam says, oh, you're here to talk about 555 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 4: the alarm system, and he's like, what do you mean. 556 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 4: Oh boy on twenty minutes and he's like, oh, it 557 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 4: was he had no idea, didn't even know it happened. 558 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:07,959 Speaker 1: Well, I'm sure they'll address that. 559 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 3: They'll have seventeen meetings and email chains and text chains 560 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 3: and then they'll get to the bottom of that. 561 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. Ive, Well, just another day in radio, Just another 562 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: day in radio. So the. 563 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 3: Last part of this year went out to dinner on 564 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 3: Friday night. Danty last night went to a deli now 565 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 3: normally I don't talk about going out to day. 566 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: I usually cook. 567 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 3: We don't go out that much anymore because restaurants are 568 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 3: ridiculously expensive. But met the in laws. My father in 569 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 3: law lives part of the year in North Carolina and 570 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 3: part of the year in California, so he was happened 571 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 3: to be in town. And it was a seemingly innocent event, right, 572 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 3: and setting was just your basic deli. 573 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: But it's one of those places. It's kind of a dark. 574 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 3: Red booze laminated menus from like the Clinton administration type place, 575 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 3: the old deli type thing. And the servers kind of 576 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 3: they work at their own pace, you know, they don't 577 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 3: necessarily they. 578 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,479 Speaker 1: Don't go into a hurry. They're just gonna la la. 579 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 3: So the meal was delicious, had some pastrami, sandwich is 580 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,239 Speaker 3: very good. Father in law gave a soliloquy while we 581 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 3: were at the table, and it was it was good. 582 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 3: And so the story, though, is about a mud pie. 583 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 3: So this was supposed to be just a mud pie, 584 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 3: but it turned into a culinary catastrophe. So that the deli, 585 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 3: I guess we can call it the deli where time 586 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 3: stood still. So I hurried up to get to this. 587 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 3: We went earlier than we were planning because I was like, 588 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 3: I got to get back and do some stuff. 589 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: So we had the meal, the food came. Take a 590 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: little while for the food to come out. 591 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 3: Now the restaurant was busy, but it wasn't completely the capacity, 592 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 3: and the mother in law was like, hey, I would 593 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 3: like I would like the mud pie. Now I don't 594 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 3: normally order dessert. I feel like the food's so expensive, 595 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 3: why do I order there? But the mother in law 596 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 3: was like, I want mudpie and I want. 597 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: To split it with a table. So I said, okay, 598 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: I'll have some mud pie. So we ordered it. 599 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 3: And then it is the deli where time stood still, 600 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 3: the dessert delivery system. They delivered that mud pie with 601 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 3: the urgency of Congress trying to pass legislation. 602 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: You know, it's just like. 603 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 3: It took Danny hand to God from the time we 604 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 3: finished the meal and ordered the mud pie to the 605 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 3: time the mud pie got to the table thirty seven minutes. 606 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 3: Thirty seven minutes. Now, to put that into context, how 607 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 3: long that is. You could fly from Los Angeles to 608 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 3: Las Vegas in about thirty seven minutes, right, you could? 609 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 3: You could watch about half a baseball game. If the 610 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 3: teams are hustling trying to get the game over with. 611 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 4: You guys could have ordered a pizza from your cell 612 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 4: phone and the pizza would arrive before the dessert. 613 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 3: In fact, if we had ordered the mud pie You're right, Danny, 614 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 3: from door Dash or from Uber Eats from Femi there 615 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 3: in Minnesota, we would have gotten it Femi and Minnesota 616 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 3: would have delivered it to La faster than this deli 617 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 3: we were at. By the time the mud pie arrived, 618 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 3: our lives had changed. We had all aged, we had 619 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 3: all grown. The server arrived with the dessert, and I'm 620 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 3: not sure what they did. Maybe they hand churned the 621 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 3: ice cream in the back, they molded the fudge by candlelight. 622 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: I mean they waited for the planets to line up 623 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 1: to drizzle the chocolate sauce on top. 624 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 4: It was. 625 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: It was insane. Thirty seven minutes. 626 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 3: When you wait thirty seven minutes to eat mud pie, 627 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 3: you get that pie and you do this full you 628 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 3: put on the microscope like why did it take so long? Right, 629 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 3: there's a forensic analysis of the pie. It's insane. So 630 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 3: I guess the moral. 631 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: Of the stories. 632 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 3: Do not order dessert at at a Delhi or at 633 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 3: least this Delhi. We tempted fate. 634 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 4: We all want to know, like, was it worth the wait? 635 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 4: Was it good? 636 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: Nothing is worth thirty seven minutes away? 637 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 3: You know, the most important thing, Danny, we have in 638 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 3: our life is our time to say, someday I'll be 639 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 3: on my deathbed if I'm lucky enough, and I'll think, 640 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 3: you know, if I only had another thirty seven minutes, 641 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 3: where did I spend that thirty seven minutes sitting waiting 642 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 3: for mud Pie at a deli on a Friday night? 643 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: Holy crap?
