00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: minutes a week was enough, think again. He's the last

Speaker 1: remnants of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness.

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow. The clearing

17
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: let's do this. And Ben, I just want to address

18
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: the rumors that I earned over two hundred and fifty

19
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: dollars yesterday from selling some of my Gmail votes, and

20
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: that is incorrect. It was only two hundred and forty

21
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: nine dollars. Yeah, well, Alf, the alien of Pinter short

22
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: changed you a dollar. And it's a bad job by Alf.

23
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: Shame on you, Shame on you. Alf. Come on, do

24
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 1: better next time. Alf. So on this podcast, we've got

25
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: double Mint, that's normal, hanging with Monet what you're doing,

26
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: and Pop goes to culture. That's a lot of content

27
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: for a lazy Saturday podcast. I would say that's way

28
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: too much content. Discretion is advised. I mean, it's unbelievable

29
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: how we squeeze all that in day. We might have

30
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: to time shift half of this to Sunday for ratings purposes. Only.

31
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: For ratings purposes only, we'll be spinning our wheels, is

32
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: what we'll be doing. Speaking of that, we will now

33
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: move forward in the broadcast. And we had a very

34
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 1: very very very busy start to last week on the

35
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: terrestrial radio show. If you were listening, you heard the

36
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: magic in the old Fox Sports Radio studio. We have

37
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: not moved to the new studio. I'm a skeptic on that.

38
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: And the main old studio always hectic, you know, and

39
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: you know when you start back at work after a

40
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: couple of days off during the overnight show, we have

41
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: a day and a half off. We work on Friday

42
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: and then we're off the rest of Friday, but we

43
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: sleep most of Friday. We're off on Saturday, but then

44
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: Sunday's workday, so it's really like a day and a

45
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: half off. It's not two full days. It's a day

46
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: and half. So it's it's a blessing and a curse

47
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: because you're off Friday night and Saturday night, but you

48
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: gotta work Sunday, and so it's hold it. So coming

49
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: back from the weekend, it's kind of hectic and all

50
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: that getting back up to speed. And this night was

51
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: different than all other nights because we had a Greyhound

52
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: bus terminal. It was a beehive on the show. It

53
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: reminded me of that old commercial from the back of

54
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: the Day, double mint Gum, double your Pleasure, double your Fun. First,

55
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: we had planned a excursion with Mason, the Millennial, the

56
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: legendary Mason. You met Mason at the mallord b good

57
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: young guy works for Tesla and he wanted to stop by.

58
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: He had emailed me, he had reached out, and you know,

59
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,119
Speaker 1: I'm doing the show. It's hybrid. Some of the time,

60
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm in the main studio. A lot of the times

61
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,839
Speaker 1: I'm in the in the mobile Mallar studio, the home

62
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: studio and so. But if if you're going to be

63
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: in town and you want to hang out out, I

64
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: can certainly adjust my schedule. And so Mason was like, Hey,

65
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be there, like to stop buying, and I

66
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: was like, okay, cool, and so he reached out. He

67
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: was going to a concert in the hood in Inglewood

68
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 1: and he lives in the Bay Area. A good guy,

69
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: big fantasy show. So I'm going to the studio to

70
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: hay because Mason's gonna show up near the end of

71
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: the show. And I was excited to see him and

72
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: meet him again and all this stuff. But I got

73
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: a I got a message right before the show started saying, Hey,

74
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: are you in studio? And I was like, yah, yeah,

75
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: I'm in studio. And it was from Jay Scoop, the

76
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: legendary Jay Scoop. Oh was he visiting from Tea Town? Yeah,

77
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: he was in town and the gladiator known as Jay Scoop,

78
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: and he said he was passing through La. He was

79
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: in town to record some stuff. As he continues the

80
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: musical career, and he wanted to stop buying say hello,

81
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: and I was like, of course, the man almost died

82
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: in December. Of course I'm gonna let Jay Scoop come

83
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: hang out. So it was really cool to hang out

84
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: with him. And Jay Scoop's been such a great part

85
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: of the show and helped us out. He put together

86
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: that Seattle meet and greet back in twenty nineteen, right

87
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: before COVID a debonair a debonair member of the Malabusha,

88
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: Jay Scoop, So I hung out with him for the

89
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: first about the first maybe of the second hour, and

90
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: then he got out of there. And then the very approachable,

91
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,679
Speaker 1: very friendly Mason the Millennial Show. So that was cool.

92
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: And Mason's a bit of a social butterfly like I'm not,

93
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: but you know, Mason's a people person. Now, did Mason

94
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: find our friend Helmet Man outside of the concert in Inglewood?

95
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: He did not report back to me that he did

96
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: see Helmet Man. But I promise you Helmet Man is

97
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: at every event at the Daanium in Inglewood, is outside

98
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: well dressed, well groomed, as always right as the greatest

99
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: set up in the world. There, I fell asleep and

100
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: speaking a debonair. You can't get more charismatic than than

101
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: that guy, right, I mean my and he's completely oblivious

102
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: to the fact that he called the show pretty much

103
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: every week for like five six years. I'm actually on

104
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: the live air. And then he moved and completely forgot

105
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: about the show, just completely moved on to something else.

106
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: So I guess you could say that's normal for him, right, Danny,

107
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: you could say that's normal for helmet man, but not

108
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: for most other people. Yeah, he is a special member

109
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: of the militia. Yeah, he's got a simpatico delivery he does.

110
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: That's a good word, sympotico. I like that word. Somebody

111
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: owes you five dollars. I don't use that word very much. Sympotico.

112
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: It's good. It's a pleasant guy, is a pleasant guy.

113
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: We like people like that. We don't. We'd rather hang

114
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: out with people that are that are friendly and who

115
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't some douchebag who wants that. Did any of your

116
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: guests bring you some fat sALS? No? And that did

117
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: piss me off. As you know, Danny, we had the rule,

118
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: if you're gonna visit, the price of admission you got

119
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: to buy us off with food. Yes, that's been a

120
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: long time entry fee. Yeah. The problem is this a

121
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: we're all on these fughasy diets, right so we do

122
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: this in a minute fast Even Eddie's on this nonsense.

123
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: And I love fat sALS. It's very tough to recreate

124
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: it if you if you don't eat it right away,

125
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: like any food, if you don't eat it right away

126
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: fat Seals, that fat Texas barbecue and you try to

127
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: reheat it, it is not an enjoyable meal, you know

128
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's I mean, you can put it

129
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: in the oven and it'll be okay, but it's not.

130
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: It doesn't have the same razmatazz as if you have

131
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: it right away. Not to belabor the point, but I

132
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: think I've made it. It's kind of like eating any

133
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: any fast food. I've got to eat it within You

134
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: got about a twenty five thirty minute window to eat

135
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: fast food. If you don't eat it right away, you're done.

136
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: It sucks, it blows, it's terrible garbage, garbage. Well, then

137
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,119
Speaker 1: just smaller orders, like you guys could split a Fat

138
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: Seals sandwich. Oh but if I'm doing inter minute fasting,

139
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: I can't even eat anything. I can just drink water.

140
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: That's the problem. Don't shake your head at me. Not

141
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: dare you? How dare you shake at my Michigassi? Here

142
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: was great, great fat seals history on the show, and

143
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: you guys are just shameful right now. Well you were

144
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: there for the cakes also though. That was unreal. God

145
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: that now that was overboard. We were getting designer cakes

146
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: for like every other week. At one point, even job

147
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: of the Hut would have been like, Okay, that's too much, dude.

148
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: It was insane. It was absolutely nuts. And these were

149
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: like designer luxury cakes like these were like thousand dollars

150
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 1: cakes that we were getting every week. We remember the

151
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: chuck the Condor one. We had a camel. I remember

152
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: we talked about Adrian Peterson had a camel at his

153
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: birthday party, and so I was like, I want a

154
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: camel and we had a camel cake. I still have

155
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: your camel drop, I want a camel. That was crazy, man.

156
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: That also cake pops pizza almost every week, lots of

157
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: pizza bets and lots of listeners would send pizza in

158
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: for whatever celebration happened to be going on that week

159
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 1: for the show. I don't think I've ever eaten that

160
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: much Domino's pizza in my life. Yeah, we knew every

161
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: nuance from the Domino's pizza menu, and the Domino's delivery

162
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: guy was on a first name basis. We'd let the

163
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: guy come in, he'd hang out with us, you know,

164
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: he'd have the pizzas. We'd let him kind of chill

165
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: out in the studio, and it was like we were

166
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: like buddies, we're hanging out. Why not? What the hell er? Exactly?

167
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: So turning the page on that Dan He turning the

168
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: page and that was normal back then. But is that

169
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: normal now? Right? You know? And it's funny because this

170
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: kind of ties into your buddy Jay Scoop, who you

171
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: were just talking about. He moved to northern California, right, Yes, yes,

172
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: he's back in Colin Kaepernick's old stomping ground. That's right.

173
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: And that's also where my mom stays, and I drove

174
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: up this past weekend to visit her. Now, I also

175
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: wanted to be halfway between my family who live in

176
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: the Bay Area, so I found the night Aist hotel

177
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: in Stockton, California. And Stockton is known as a nice

178
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: vacation city. It's underrated. You look at all the travel websites.

179
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 1: That's some of the finest hotels in the world. They

180
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: do the surveys every year. Yeah yeah, And of course

181
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: this didn't happen until the famous mayor Michael Tubbs took

182
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: over and cleaned up the city. I'm talking about the

183
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: seventy ninth mayor of Stockton, California, who was featured on

184
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: HBO and other big channels across the country. Because of

185
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: mister Tubbs, there are now the four Seasons there, there

186
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: is a Grand High, there's a ritz I believe. Yeah,

187
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: I didn't know which fancy hotel to choose from in Stockton. Yeah,

188
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: but I've been to a minor league hockey game in

189
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: Stockton at their sports arena, really pretty arena right on

190
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: the harbor. There's a hotel adjacent. Teams stay at the hotel.

191
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: It's about it's about twenty stories high, really nice looking hotel. Yeah.

192
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: So I found a good rate. Even though my Tenderni

193
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: is really picky when it comes to hotels, I thought

194
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: to myself, well, she's gonna really love this place. Get

195
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: to Stockton, And as soon as we drive into the city,

196
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: the first thing you see at the first stoplight that

197
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: we're at is a building that's boarded up, always a

198
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: good indicator that you're in a good part of town. Yeah,

199
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: and it looked like this used to be an amazing restaurant,

200
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: but now it had wood covering all of its windows.

201
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: She looked at me and she said, this place looks abandoned.

202
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: That is kind of hate. Well, it's just the ambiance

203
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: of the town. It's it's it's you know, it's an

204
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: old rustic It's a rustic look, is what it is now.

205
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: Mind you. Stockton as a special place in my heart.

206
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: This was the first radio market where I had my

207
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: first professional radio gig. First time I ever got a

208
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: paycheck for blabbing and talking on the microphone was in Stockton, California.

209
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: Did a live broadcast there one time in front of

210
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: the black Angus and it's the Chevy Impaula came scooting by,

211
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: and the guys inside the impaula showed me a gun. Well,

212
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: much like John Morant down the line, you know, you

213
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: just want to sometimes you want to share. It's like

214
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: it's like an elementary school, right, you bring things in

215
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: to share with the class. Yeah, I felt like because

216
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: I was holding a microphone and the dude in the car.

217
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: He was showing me what he was holding. Yeah, so

218
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,359
Speaker 1: I felt like it was like a sign of respect,

219
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: Like he was like, yeah, you're holding the steel, I'm

220
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: holding the steel. Yeah. Come on, we're all friends here.

221
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: Look at this. It's like the Old West. It's like

222
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: a saloon in the Old West. So I have this

223
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: connection with Stockton since I was a kid. You know,

224
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: I spent half my life in La the other half

225
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 1: up in the Bay in the Stockton area, and so

226
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 1: I you know, this was the first time, by the way,

227
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: that I got to take my TINDERRONI to that area.

228
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: She's gonna meet my mom the next day. We're gonna

229
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: have breakfast. So I'm thinking, well, what are we going

230
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: to do tonight in the Stockton area. But first I

231
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: gotta get checked into the hotel. So now we see

232
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: this boarded up restaurant. She tells me this looks abandoned.

233
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: I told her, no, no, no, that's normal. We go

234
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: down the main drag and right in front of city Hall,

235
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: I need to take a left to get to the

236
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: waterfront for the hotel. As we are passing City Hall,

237
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: there is a dude ben in broad daylight who is

238
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: watering the city's lawn. I know they've got a lot

239
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: of rain, but the drought you've got you gotta help

240
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: out man, organic water, come on God's water. Now. Thank god.

241
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: He had his back turned to us, but we could

242
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: see the spray, yeah, onto the grass, and my girl said,

243
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: oh my god, it is that guy doing what I

244
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: think he's doing. And I was like, just look straight ahead,

245
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: we're going to the waterfront. So now, in fairness, have

246
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: you let your wife know that at the Fox Sports

247
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: Radio studios on multiple occasions, there have been homeless people

248
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: that have gotten up on the what do you call that,

249
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: the planter in front of Fox Sports Radio, Yeah, and

250
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: not realizing that the glass there's actually people behind it.

251
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: The windows they have taken care of their bids right

252
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: on the right there. Yeah, exactly what it looked like,

253
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: but from a different vantage point in a car. Yeah.

254
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: Now we get to the waterfront and I'm like, this

255
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: is nice. I see the nice arena, I see the

256
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: nice hotel. But there are two guys they must have

257
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: been the guards working for the hotel, both of them

258
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: standing outside of the hotel holding forties in brown paper bags.

259
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: Oh okay yeah, and I'm like, wow, they left their

260
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: security guards drink on the job. It's pretty cool. Listen,

261
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: it's it's part of the uniform, right, yeah. Yeah. Were

262
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: they smoking anything? Also, they have any Yeah. At this point,

263
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: we just wanted to get in and get our bags

264
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: to the room. So we go inside. My girl has

265
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: to use the bathroom, and we both look at something

266
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: that I don't normally see at any hotel. You know

267
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: how there's usually a concierge desk. Yeah, yeah, sure. At

268
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: this hotel, they turned the concierge area into a security station. Oh.

269
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: Of course, this reminds me of the hotel I stay

270
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: I was checked in at in Phoenix and we left.

271
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: That's what this reminds me of. In really big letters

272
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: across the desk and said security, and I was just

273
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: shaking my head, like, oh man, well, at least they

274
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: have security. Um, did you see anyone walking out with

275
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: a wife beater on and any of that? No? No,

276
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: But as I was bringing our bags up to the

277
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,719
Speaker 1: room on the second floor, there was a dude in

278
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: the elevator smoking a blunt smoke. Okay, there you go,

279
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: come on, like, okay, a lot of places in California

280
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: don't allow you to smoke. So it's a smoke friendly hotel. Okay, perfect.

281
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: Now I'm really hungry, and I tell my girl. I'm like,

282
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go find us a snack. You stay here

283
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: at the hotel, take a shower, relax. I'm gonna go

284
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: get us something to eat. Yeah. I am driving down

285
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: March Lane and right next to me, Ben, there was

286
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: a drag race going on. These two dudes aren't going

287
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: for it. Drag race seen each other. It was fast

288
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: and the Furious twelve. It was awesome, all right. So

289
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: I got a free show on my way to the

290
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: Togo sandwich shop and this jive turkey comes up to

291
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 1: me and he says, man, I like your Dodger's hat,

292
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: but you're in the Bay Area. You need to pay

293
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: a giant's fee. Get away from me. San Francisco's that way.

294
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: You need to go get a fee out of your

295
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: giant's owner. You guys suck. Yeah, And then he pushed

296
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: you right between the eyes right there. You know, he

297
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: didn't know I don't look like the friendliest dude, so

298
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: he left me alone. I mean, Biga, let alone. I

299
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: got you, all right, So I get back to the

300
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: fancy hotel. I told my girl I said, okay, you

301
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 1: got three options. A minor league basketball game happening at

302
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: the Arena tonight, there's a Sacramento Kings game a half

303
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: hour up the road, or we can go towards my

304
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: mom's town and see a movie. She said, well, well,

305
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 1: which direction is the least violent? You say, none of

306
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: the above. So we went to the cowtown and I

307
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: took her to see Cocaine Bear Bunch of Hookers on Cocaine.

308
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: It was actually better than we expected. It was a

309
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: pretty good movie. It's a nice little town called Mantica.

310
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: All was well, all was right in the world. Everything

311
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: turned out okay. But when we got out of there,

312
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: I told my girl, I was like, well, look at

313
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: I didn't realize there was that shaine of hotel here.

314
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: The next time we come back, we'll stay there. And

315
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: she said, no, no, no, no, next time, have your

316
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: mom come down here and I'll pay for Disneyland for her.

317
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 1: Oh that's great. Oh man, do they still have they

318
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: used to have a mir League team? He called the

319
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: ports that still yeah, they still there. There's the Stockton

320
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: Ports and the Modesto Nuts. I remember the stock In

321
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 1: Ports back back in the day. So was it awkward.

322
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: Your mom had not met you're married, You've got a

323
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 1: a spawn on the way, and your mom had not

324
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: approved of this. Is this was this awkward for you? No,

325
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: it was not awkward. My mom is a fan of

326
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: my life right now. She just had never met her

327
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: in person yet, and we wanted her to go to

328
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: the wedding really bad, but she could not take the

329
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 1: long flight to Hawaii, so that's why we had to

330
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: drive to her. And before my girl gets too big

331
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: with the pregnancy, I was like, we better make our

332
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: way up north. That's a smart move. Sure, yeah, yeah,

333
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 1: now where you know? You weren't nervous at all, because

334
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: when I introduced my now wife to my mom, I

335
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: was like, I like threw up. I was so nervous,

336
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: Like I needed my mom's I needed my mom's approval.

337
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: But you're at the point where you've already gone down

338
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: the road, so it's like, you know, you're it's a

339
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: little different. I was just dating at the time, so

340
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: for me, it was like a deal, and I think

341
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: it would have been more nerve wracking if it was

342
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: just somebody I was dating. My mom is very religious,

343
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: always has been. To her. If you're just dating someone

344
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: or living with them. You're living in sin So I'm

345
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: on the up and up right now because I actually

346
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: got hitched. You're you're you're legal. Everything's good. You know,

347
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: your Bible approved Jesus hanging with money. So you were driving,

348
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: you drove to to your old stopping grounds to see family. Well,

349
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: my wife she wanted to get out of town. We

350
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: get this new malamobile and she wanted to go on

351
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: a road trip. Oh, tell her about Stockton. Yeah, I'll

352
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: recommend that. You know, my wife loves thaying at hotels

353
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: like that, as your wife does. She's like, we need

354
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: to go somewhere. We need to go to Vegas, bas Vegas,

355
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: Baby Vegas. And then I was like okay, And then

356
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: she wanted me to see if I, you know, I

357
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: know some people in Vegas. I might be able to

358
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: get a deal on a hotel. So I reached out

359
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 1: to one of the guys that I dealt with in

360
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: the past to you know, could hook you up. And

361
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: I send a nice email, said, hey, I'm gonna be

362
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: in town, you know whatever. Didn't even bother right back.

363
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 1: The guy didn't right back. I haven't talked to him

364
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 1: since COVID, so maybe he's upset with me. So that

365
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: was that was that total. The guy didn't get back

366
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: to me. So then I say, well, we didn't want

367
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: to go to Vegas because it's expensive and whatever, so

368
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: we made a run for the border. We decided to

369
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: stop in San Diego for the little one day sojourn

370
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: to my old stomping grounds with San Diego. And every

371
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: time we go to San Diego, I always point out

372
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: that's the building I started in radio right over there.

373
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: Well that's all right. Next year, off at sea World Drive,

374
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: five South SeaWorld Drive. You make a right and a

375
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: left and it's this building that's right across from the

376
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: California Highway Patrol station, which we were always pissed about

377
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: because we worked there. We couldn't beat out of the

378
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: lot because literally right across the street were HP. So

379
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 1: it was. But anyway, we went to San Diego and

380
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: we stopped at Old Town. You've been there, right, you

381
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: go in San Diego. That's a tourist trap. Oh yeah, yeah,

382
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: that's great, And so parking was a boondoggle. Had a

383
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: nice authentic Mexican you know me at that restaurant there,

384
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: and then headed to bout Ball Park. I had not

385
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: been to ballpark, and I was a kid. I didn't

386
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: go there when I worked there. I just go to

387
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: pottery games or Charger games. I didn't go to bout

388
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: balla park. But that's where all the museums are in

389
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: San Diego. And it was a freak show. I mean

390
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: they had every base cupboard, the Gods squad was out,

391
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: and then some you had one booth over here. There

392
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,959
Speaker 1: was a ten Aska Christian that was the first one,

393
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 1: which is fine. Then it was Asking Atheist, then it

394
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: was Aska Muslim and it was just like they all

395
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: had their own They were all recruiting every even the

396
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: non religions we recruiting. I did not see ask a Jew.

397
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: I did not did not I could have helped. I

398
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: could have put my own booth up. I'm a bad Jew,

399
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: but I could have put that up. That was called Alexa.

400
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: Yeah there you go, Oh dare you? But it's a

401
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: missed opportunity, a missed opportunity. But we we didn't have

402
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: a lot of time. By the time we got to

403
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: Balboa Park, it was kind of later in the day,

404
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: and all these freaking museums closed early. Why on, somebody

405
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: explained to me, why does a museum have to close

406
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: at five o'clock. Why can't it be open to eight o'clock?

407
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: Why five o'clock? Why not six o'clock, seven o'clock, maybe

408
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: nine o'clock? Why why do they keep bankers hours at museums?

409
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: Can you explain that to me? Danny, you're smarter than me.

410
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: Can you explain why museums have to close at five o'clock?

411
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: Everybody knows Ben that when it gets dark outside, museums

412
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: come alive. Oh, that's true. I did see that. That That

413
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: was a good movie. Yea, Robins A couple of those movies, yea,

414
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: if you why, I saw the first one. So we

415
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: went to the SDMA, the San Diego Museum Art, and

416
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: I was hanging with Monet, Claude Monet and someone I've

417
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: goofed on many times. I said, it's like a Monee.

418
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: It looks great from a distance and you get close,

419
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: you get closer and you're like, ooh. But they had Monet's,

420
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: they had Picasso's, Salvador Dolli Batisse. And I don't think

421
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: my wife appreciated some of my commentary, Danny, because I'm

422
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: not a big art museum guy. That was more for

423
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: her she's more to this than I am. But I

424
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: was like, I'll be a good sport, I'll be a

425
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: team player. Why not? And so we we did our thing,

426
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: and some of the paintings I would I told my wife,

427
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: I said, I think if I went to like Michael's

428
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 1: or Joanne's and bought some paint and gave it to

429
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: my four year old nephew and told him on a

430
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: blank canvas to paint, that he would do a very

431
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: similar job to what I'm looking at in the art

432
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: museum that is a million dollars masterpiece. And I don't

433
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: think she appreciated that. And anyway, that was it was fun.

434
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: We went to the gas gas lamp district in San Diego.

435
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: That was also crazy, and there were long waits to

436
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: eat and I didn't see Poppy or anyone I know.

437
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: But the art thing, it reminds me of that great

438
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 1: quote anything and everything can be art. It's true, anything

439
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 1: can be art. I could I could say right now

440
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 1: this podcast is art. It's art. If you say it's art,

441
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: it's art. Yeah. And a lot of it's just marketing.

442
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: I've determined a lot of what makes art popular is

443
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: just a certain percentage of rich people who think it's

444
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: like the intellectual crowd. I'm not an intellectual. I talk

445
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: about sports. You just need a really good manager like

446
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: suld Night. Oh yeah, what's what's he? What's he doing

447
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: these days? Do we know what he's up to? Is

448
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: he's listening to our podcast Behind Bars. He's on an

449
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: extended vacation at the Great Bar Hotel. Is that right? Yeah?

450
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: What ug? There? You go? All right, So that was

451
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 1: my trip to to Sandy. Also, my favorite art quote

452
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: is from Andy Warhol, who said an artist is somebody

453
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: who produces things that people don't need to have. That's

454
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: about right. That's much like sports talk radio or podcasting.

455
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: Wait a second, though, when I visited you for your

456
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: Halloween party at the mallor Mansion, you had some art

457
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: up on the walls. Well, that was not my doing,

458
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: and I did dresses Bob Ross, the greatest painter of

459
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: all right, all right, what you're doing? What you're doing?

460
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: Portion of the show. Now, we've asked people to send

461
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 1: in comments on what they're doing, and our friend Jennifer

462
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: from Richmond, Virginia writes in she says I am late

463
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: to the what You're Doing party? She says, I love

464
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: to listen to the fifth dollar Pods. When I am

465
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: Jennifer says lifting weights about this wonder woman doing Aaron

466
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: laying in the tanning bed, Hello, Giggy and cooking dinner.

467
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: So she says, thanks all you guys do and we

468
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,360
Speaker 1: thank you. Jennifer, that's kind of cool. You think she's

469
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: got a tanning bed in her house or she goes

470
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: to like a tanning bed somewhere out in the city,

471
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,479
Speaker 1: probably a tanning salon. Those things are expensive, aren't they

472
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 1: have the tank? Yeah, those things are pricey. Plus they

473
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: probably break all the time. Be a pain, a pain

474
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: in the behind, for sure. We'll do a few. Pop

475
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: goes the culture and stories and that means, ohio, all right,

476
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: thank you, ah hi, we'll do a couple. Did you

477
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: see this story? You might guys might have talked about

478
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: this on Caveno and Rich. There was a couple that

479
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: sued is Snorkeling Company. Oh yeah, yeah. They allegedly were

480
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: abandoned in the middle of the ocean. They almost drowned. Yeah,

481
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: that is crazy the story. The New York Post had

482
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: it the other day. And the water became turbulent and

483
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and that is have you you've been

484
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: on these things, right, these snorkeling I was in Hawaii. Yeah,

485
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: I've been on snorkeling boats twice now. And that's why

486
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: reading the story gave me anxiety. That water is pretty

487
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: rough sometimes, and so when you fight your way back

488
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: to the boat, you have a sigh of relief, like, oh,

489
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: thank god, I'm back on the boat. It's fun while

490
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: you're snorkeling, but it takes everything out of you to

491
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: fight that choppy water. So imagine the boat leaving and

492
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: you being stuck in that choppy water. How does that happen?

493
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: This happened in Hawaii. It happened near Maui. I've I

494
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: was snorkeling near Kawaie, the the great coast there forgetting

495
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: the name of it, but that beautiful coast in Hawaii,

496
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: which is just wonderful. But yeah, they's having a Maui

497
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: in September of twenty twenty one, Like, don't you do

498
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: a headcount? Don't you say, all right, everyone, everyone that

499
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: is in our foxhole is going to be in our foxhole.

500
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: When they blamed it on people moving around during the

501
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: head count on the boat, they said that they couldn't

502
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: get everyone to sit still okay, do the head count again? Then, yeah,

503
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: you gotta make sure on that. Oh yeah, you talk

504
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: about negligence. They're gonna win some money, right, Yeah, I

505
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: don't know. Well, yeah, it's normally to win a lot

506
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: of money, you gotta have permanent damage. Do they have

507
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: permanent damage? Oh? I guess if they're scarred to ever

508
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: get back in the water. Maybe, Yeah, another pop goes

509
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: the culture story. Study finds that making daylight saving time permanent,

510
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: which is supposed to happen. I guess it's not official.

511
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: We're supposed to change the clocks in April, and if

512
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: everything goes right, that'll be the last time we change

513
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: the clocks. I think, yeah, that's what I read too. Yeah.

514
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: But this new study claims that by doing that. This

515
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: is from the journal Current Biology this week. They claim

516
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: they predict that keeping year round daylight savings time will

517
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: reduce the amount of time that rush hour traffic takes

518
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: place during darkness, which makes sense. That would prevent thirty

519
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: three deaths and two thousand injuries, and would save about

520
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: one point two billion dollars in collision costs. Do you

521
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: buy that? I think that's bullshit. I'm not a numbers guy.

522
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: But that doesn't seem to add up. Yeah, one point

523
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: two billion. How do they know it's exactly thirty three

524
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: people that will be saved? Why is it not thirty

525
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: five people or forty people? Why is it only thirty three?

526
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: Why you gotta be so skeptical. I'm just saying, man,

527
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,239
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just put that out. Here's one right

528
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: out of a horror movie. Football sized self cloning monster goldfish.

529
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: Do you see this one taking over Canadian lakes by

530
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: the thousands, by the thousands. How the hell did this happen? Well,

531
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: the fish. The fish rank third in both countries, behind

532
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: dogs and cats as the most popular household pet. The goldfish,

533
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: I guess, just fish in general, but people regularly will

534
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: abandon their pets and in this case fish, and so

535
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: these monster goldfish have been popping up because when the

536
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: goldfish outgrows the tank, the owner dumps it in the

537
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: pond or the lake and flushing them down the toilet,

538
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: which I guess makes them stronger. Anyway, a CBC is

539
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: reporting that these monster goldfish are the size of an

540
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: NFL football. Yeah. Yeah, Thousands of large invasive goldfish have

541
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: multiplied in bodies of water around the province there in

542
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: Canada and the goldfish. Wow, they can release fifty thousand

543
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,959
Speaker 1: eggs at one time. They do this three times a summer,

544
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: so you can do the math on that. Who needs

545
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: a koi pond? Like, check out my fat ass goldfish?

546
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: Check this out. The female goldfish do not even need

547
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: the male to reproduce. They can do it on their own.

548
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: I'm a female goldfish, hear me, swim, I'm a woman,

549
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: hear me raw. Wow. Yeah, the females do not need

550
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: us male goldfish. They have a special process that's got

551
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: a funny typical name. But the female will get the

552
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: sperm from different kinds of minnow and to start the

553
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: egg developing. And what a ho h man? How about that?

554
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: I guess like you matter so useless. We don't need you,

555
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: male goldfish. Screw you, We'll do it our own. You

556
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: lose it. Uh. And they went doing it on their own. Uh.

557
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: There was one as one other one. I wanted to

558
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: get to um trying to trying to find it. There's

559
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: a few things that that popped up here, all right,

560
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: how about this one? These stories pop up every every

561
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: so often and we all just kind of like, look

562
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: at this and say, ah, that's uh, that's bull pucky.

563
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: That's bullpucky. Uh. This is another one of these weight

564
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:59,720
Speaker 1: loss ones. It says edible flowers from West Africa maybe

565
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,959
Speaker 1: a natural weight loss supplement. I don't know these weight

566
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: loss things. You know how many these things I've read

567
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: over the years, and they're all bullshit because people are

568
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: still gaining weight and doing their thing. Here's another one.

569
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: Cars could be powered by baking powder, while planes could

570
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: run on fertilizer by the end of the decade, by

571
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:29,760
Speaker 1: twenty thirty. That sounds like a bunch of fertilizer. That's fertilizer, right.

572
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 1: This comes out of the guy that is a chemistry

573
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,280
Speaker 1: professor at the University of Oxford in England. He predicts

574
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: that sodium will become the dominant battery type for cars,

575
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: ammonia found and fertilizer could be used to power airlines. Yeah.

576
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 1: You imagine being on a plane and you're like, we

577
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: gotta go back. We need more fertilizers so we can fly. Yeah.

578
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: I got one for you. A big band. What's that?

579
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: If you grew up in southern California, or even if

580
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: you just ever visited Southern California, you knew Cal Worthington

581
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: in his famous commercials. That's right, Worthington family sold their

582
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: very last dealership, marking an end of an era. And

583
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: of course it was go see cow, go see caw,

584
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: go see caw. But as little kids, what did we

585
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: think they were saying? It was something a little different,

586
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: something a little let's see cow put the cow exactly.

587
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: And you know the story I heard that that started

588
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: as a gag that Cal Worthington did that to goof

589
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 1: on a another car dealer, that he started paying it

590
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: to people that aren't familiar with this. So Cal Worthington

591
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: was a local car dealership in LA in Long Beach,

592
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 1: I believe, but they had a bunch of dealerships by

593
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: the time they got going. And so Cal would show

594
00:36:55,640 --> 00:37:00,720
Speaker 1: up in this oversized cowboy hat, Cal Worthington, and he'd

595
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: have like a lion or a bear or a dog

596
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 1: or whatever, like crazy exotic animals, and he would do

597
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: the commercial like he'd just pretend like he wasn't scared

598
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: for his life, and he'd have a brown bear right

599
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 1: next to him. Yeah, almost like the animal tamer that

600
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:23,439
Speaker 1: would bring different animals to the tonight show. Yeah, yeah,

601
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: and they were so over the top. In fact, if

602
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: you want to, if you want to check them out,

603
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: a lot of those commercials are on YouTube. You can

604
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: type in cal Worthington and they'll come up and you

605
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:35,640
