1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:01,480 Speaker 1: Kubbooms. 2 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes 3 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants 4 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,479 Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He 5 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 6 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,599 Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

Because four hours a night are not enough 11 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: for me, and the daytime shift with Covino and Rich 12 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 1: for Danny G not enough. But eight days a week, 13 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: eight days a week from the podcast Dojo at a 14 00:00:55,200 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: super secret location and Danny G. There is a sense 15 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: of relief in the podcast Dojo today after over a year. 16 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: It's gotta be over a year. Brian Billick, Brian Billick. 17 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 3: This was two years ago that this all started. 18 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: Two years jeez, crazy, but it was. It was wonderful 19 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 1: to have Brian finally on and he gave a lot 20 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 1: of good football information as he was hanging out in 21 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: Minista right near the Canadian border there, just south of 22 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: the border the north country in Minnesota. So I went 23 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: to Duluth. I told him when we talked yesterday, I 24 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: went to Duluth, and I thought that was like the 25 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: farthest you could go. But he's like another hour and 26 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: a half north of that, so he's way way up 27 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: there around Lake Superior. But it was great to have 28 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: him on. And so who's our next target, Danny, do 29 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: we have a new target that Billick's done the podcast 30 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: and now we have to move on to someone else. 31 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 3: Well, the list is obviously Billick and Michael Jordan. Those 32 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 3: are the two most sought after guests on any sports show. 33 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: Neck and neck with Jerry Delabatti, Baba Booie who we 34 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: could get on, But yeah, I mean Michael Michael. I 35 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,399 Speaker 1: guess Michael was texting Stephen A And do you see 36 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: that this week that he's texting him at five in 37 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: the morning, you think, do you think that actually happened 38 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: or six in the morning. 39 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 3: I don't know any of us that are on a 40 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 3: media platform could say anybody texted us like, oh shit, 41 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 3: Alicia Keys just texted me right now. 42 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, Well that's congratulations. 43 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 3: Good morning. Why did you have a baby without me? You, Dick. 44 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: My only theory on that Jordan thing was that it's conceivable. 45 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: I've heard Jordan's been spending a lot of time in Europe. 46 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: So he's in Europe. It's not as early, right, because 47 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: it's a few hours ahead of where he might you know, 48 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: the East coast, so where he might have been. So 49 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: I mean, that's conceivable. But we're not here to yap 50 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: about that. We got a lot to get to. We 51 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 1: got the cool hand, Luke smoked meats, back to school, backscratcher, 52 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: the word of the week, not the phrase of the week, 53 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: the word of the week, and we have time Pop 54 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: goes to the culture. But we start with this. So 55 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: I want to get your perspective, Danny and you listening. 56 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: I want to get some feedback on this, okay, because 57 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: this is our Saturday podcast. It's all about the life 58 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: of malor the life of Danny g So. I had 59 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: a buddy of mine. I've known this guy since elementary 60 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: school in town. He don't live here anymore, and he's 61 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: been gone. He lives in Dallas. He visits usually once 62 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: a year, sometimes twice a year. 63 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 3: Now. 64 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: We grew up together and we spend a lot of 65 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: time on the playgrounds, and every year we will get 66 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: together and enjoy a nice meal and tell old stories 67 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: from back on the swing, you know, the swing, the 68 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: swings and the you know, the playing kickball and all 69 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: that crap. 70 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 2: Uh. 71 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: So that's it's kind of a normal thing. I think 72 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: most people do that with old friends. And this guy's 73 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 1: an Elvis impersonator. That's not my thing. But whatever floats 74 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: is both that's fine. But this year was different than 75 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: all other years. So he told me about a month 76 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: before he was visiting. He said, you know, I'm gonna 77 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: be out there, and I said, okay. So then I 78 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,679 Speaker 1: explained to him, you know, I've got some big things 79 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: going on right now. There's some exciting stuff happening. I've 80 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: got a very busy schedule and I'm only available socially 81 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: on Friday and Saturday. Right but he was going to 82 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: come from Saturday to Saturday. So I explain no one 83 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: to listen, I can see you Saturday you fly in. 84 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: I could see you the following Friday, or like Saturday. 85 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 3: Before you leave. Bertie sounds like you were a big 86 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 3: time in him. 87 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: Well no, no, no, no, no, no, no not at all, 88 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: because that's like that's the schedule. I gave him plenty 89 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: of advanced notice. So I figured, if I give someone 90 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: enough advance notice, okay, they'll work with me, right Uh. 91 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: And so he comes out, he comes out to visit. Now, 92 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: we had the Malor Meet and great last Saturday. So 93 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: that was that took up a big chunk of my time, 94 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: which was great. I had a fine time with Andy 95 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: the comic guy. 96 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 3: It was. 97 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: It was a fun, fun afternoon. 98 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 3: It was cool. 99 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: It was different. He's got a really cool comic book 100 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: shop and Brave New World Comics is really neat and 101 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: so I had a great time there. 102 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 3: It was. 103 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: It was really nice. A lot of people showed up. 104 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: We had a good time. We had a good crowd. 105 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: It wasn't too big, but it wasn't too small. So 106 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: it was a good mix of people that showed up. 107 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: To be a great but I then text him one 108 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: of his favorite restaurants at La is L Coyote on Beverly. 109 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 3: You know that. 110 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: Mexican restaurant on Beverly there, So yeah, I used to 111 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: eat there quite a bit. I used to live right 112 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: across the way there, so I used to get there 113 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,559 Speaker 1: a lot. And the prices have gone up up and away. 114 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: But anyways, like I was, I happen to be there 115 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 1: with the wife, and so I was like text them 116 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: and say, maybe he'll come over here and meet us. 117 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: I said, well, I have I have plans. I have 118 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: I have some tickets to some show, so I can't 119 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: meet you today. I said, okay, So I said, all right, 120 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: well let's do something next week. So let's do something 121 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: on Friday. And so we tender. We made plans. He 122 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: said he could squeeze me in. He had plans on 123 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: Friday yesterday night, but he had lunch was available on 124 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: yesterday yesterday. And then just before the Thursday night radio show, 125 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: I get a tech you know, he's staying in the 126 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: hood near Lax and I got a text. I got 127 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: to cancel, and I'm like, we made plans for lunch. 128 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: I mean we were gonna meet halfway, which I think 129 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: was a good compromise. I think that was very generous. 130 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: I've spent a lot of time in traffic this week. 131 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: More on that. Later says we're gonna meet halfway. So 132 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: then my buddy, right, So I was like, oh, he 133 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: texted me right before the show the night before on Thursday, 134 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: He's like, hey, I can't do it, and he says 135 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: his rationale is he says it's too stressful because of 136 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: the traffic in LA and the return of his rental 137 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: car would have caused too much anxiety because he had 138 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: to return it like at three o'clock. And I told him, 139 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: I said, just extended a few more hours, it's no 140 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: big deal. But he said they were closed. So we 141 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: have here, Danny, a cool hand, luke situation, a failure 142 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: to communicate. So the question I ask you, I asked 143 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: the esteemed panel of listeners, who's the bad guy in this? 144 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: Am I the bad guy? Am I the dick because 145 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: the dick and Dayton because I only was a milla 146 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: on Friday and Saturday? Or was my friend the bad 147 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: guy because he did not work with me even though 148 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: I was willing to meet him halfway and he would 149 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: not meet with me. He said he was, and then 150 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: he he canceled. What's your perspective, Nanny? 151 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,119 Speaker 3: Well, even though I was giving you a hard time 152 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 3: at first about big timing because you gave him forewarning, 153 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 3: then I think you're in the right here. And you 154 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 3: also were going to meet him halfway, which is what 155 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 3: I feel like we should do. Even if it's your 156 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 3: host city where a friend or family member is visiting, 157 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 3: we're still willing to, like, you know, drive halfway in 158 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 3: between wherever they're staying at in our general area to 159 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 3: meet them. Look, I've always been the one and my 160 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 3: girl always says this too about visiting her family. A 161 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 3: lot of her family lives in northern California near the 162 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 3: Davis area. You see Davis in the house. The thing 163 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 3: is she has to drive up there to see them. 164 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 3: And my family I have half down here and half 165 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 3: in northern California as well, and through the years, Ben, 166 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 3: it's always been the same for me too. I have 167 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 3: to drive all the way up there to see everybody, 168 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 3: and I'll drive from house to house to visit everybody. 169 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 3: What's the problem of coming down to southern California. Supposedly 170 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 3: they're always stressed out over the traffic. The drive is long, 171 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 3: there's so many excuses. But magically they could come down 172 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 3: here and visit Disneyland. 173 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, well there's no traffic at Disneyland. 174 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 3: It's amazing. I'm not a mathematician, but something doesn't add up. 175 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is frustrating, and over the years, like a 176 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: lot of the people, I grew up with people I've 177 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: known have moved out of California. My brothers live in 178 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: I won in Wisconsin, I won in New York, so 179 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: there's not, you know, too much family in the area, 180 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: and it, uh, you know, I do end up having 181 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: to travel to see them. But this one was like 182 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: a buddy of mine. I've known him like, you know, 183 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: he's like a you know, a guy that I've been 184 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: close with. He knows all my secrets and all that 185 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: I know all his secrets. But unfortunately did not work 186 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 1: out this time. So we'll see. Maybe next time it'll 187 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: work out. 188 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys were on the teener totter together. 189 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, man, we when you when you play handball and kickball, 190 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: and I mean, that's the next level. There's a there's 191 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: a bond of brotherhood that is born on the playgrounds 192 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: of elementary school that cannot be broken. So I had 193 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: that and then I also had I want to mention 194 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: this real quick. This will not be long because I 195 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: know we have to we have to get to the 196 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 1: back to school. But I had a power lunch in 197 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: La La Land this week and uh, you know, to 198 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: the decent name the medium logo types and I don't 199 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: do these things very often. I mentioned this on the 200 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: radio show a little bit. I don't do these things 201 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: very often, Danny, mainly because I cannot stand I'm a 202 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: creature a habit, and I have my whole routine down 203 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 1: and it just screws me up when I have to 204 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: change my routine. And in order to pull off this 205 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: power luncheon we just mentioned the La traffic, I spent 206 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:32,319 Speaker 1: three hours, three hours in my car, an hour there, 207 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: two hours on the way back in rush hour traffic, 208 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: going through some fine parts of skid row in Los 209 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: Angeles and places that I think makes Sodom and Gomora 210 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: look like an attractive destination instead. But anyway, so one 211 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: of the people I went out with and had outside 212 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: we went to Langers Delhi. I love you. Ever been 213 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: to Langers I love Langers Deli. 214 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's not much parking, but the food delicious. 215 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a little lot. It's right across from MacArthur Park, 216 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 1: and it is the greatest deli I've been to. I've 217 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: been to all the big delis in New York, all 218 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,719 Speaker 1: the delis you know in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and this 219 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: place is at the very top. It is better the 220 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: way they make their pastrami is insane. The problem is 221 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: you have to dodge landmines and it's just wild down 222 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: there near MacArthur Park. Because it's so unsafe there, they 223 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: close at four o'clock in the afternoon because you don't 224 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: want to be there at four oh one. It's real bad. 225 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: But that MacArthur Park's been around since the eighteen hundreds 226 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 1: and it's one of the oldest parts of la and 227 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 1: it's so old. I looked it up because I've been 228 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: there so much that they actually filmed early Hollywood movies 229 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 1: with Buster Keaton and Charles Chaplin Charlie Chaplin in MacArthur 230 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: Park back in early days Hollywood in the nineteen twenties. 231 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: So kind of crazy one hundred years ago. But so 232 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 1: we had the power lunch. It was great, told some stories, 233 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: you know, shot the biz and one of the people there, 234 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: Danny has claim to fame, was he fired Skip Bayless 235 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: from a radio job. So went into detail on that 236 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 1: and gave some some dirt. Very few people can say 237 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: they fired the highest paid person or one of the 238 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: three highest paid people in sports media today. But obviously 239 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: before Skip Bayless became Skip Bayliss and in the early days, Danny. 240 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: I told the sturb before. But when Fox Sports Radio started, 241 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: Skip Bayless was one of our contributors. He was writing 242 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: books about the Dallas Cowboys, and he was like an 243 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: NFL guest that was a paid contributor on Fox Sports 244 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 1: Radio in the early days when the network started. So 245 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: and then he went off through the show called Cold 246 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: Pizza I think it was. 247 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 3: I remember that, yeah. 248 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: At ESPN, and then that became what eventually became First 249 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: Take and all that. So interesting interesting times. There was 250 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: a good time. I don't know that I'll do that 251 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: very often because of the amount of time I spent 252 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: in the car. I am such a radio loser. There 253 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: were you know, there were fair amount of people on 254 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: the roads. Is that because it's back to school time? 255 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 3: Danny? 256 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: Would that be why there's so many people on the roads. 257 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 3: There's those windows now where anywhere near a school in 258 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 3: your community, you know, shit, I got to stay away 259 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 3: from those streets gets backed up really bad. Also when 260 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 3: you go back to school, Ben, you know, for me, 261 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 3: obviously I help out with the school district here in 262 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 3: the morning time. I noticed that the weather it's kind 263 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 3: of like a marker. Last year when we went back 264 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 3: to school. One of the days, it was one hundred 265 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 3: and nine outside. I remember the kids just panting and complaining, 266 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 3: and you know, it was like two degrees by eight am, 267 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 3: and the kids were hating life. And I thought to myself, 268 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 3: why are they starting back to school so much earlier 269 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 3: than when we were kids, because for us it was 270 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 3: after Labor Day. 271 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, yeah, Yeah, we had a full summer. We 272 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: had a great time, wonderful. 273 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're like, screw you f them kids. They send 274 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 3: them back in the middle of the bastard heat. But 275 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 3: we had some weird slurricane, hurricane, tropical storm. I guess 276 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 3: after the earthquake too. People were calling it a hurriquake. 277 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 3: I don't know. In fact, a friend of mine JC 278 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 3: in Nashville, he was texting me last weekend, Man, I 279 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 3: can't wait to hear you and Mallard talk about the hurriquake. Now, 280 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 3: you didn't feel the earthquake, right. 281 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: No, I did not. You know, I'm pretty we live 282 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: kind of far from each other, and you were closer 283 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: to the epicenter, much closer than I was. But yeah, 284 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: the whole storm thing, Like I saw some of the 285 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: headlines on the inn I thought, oh my god, I'm 286 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: gonna die. This is it's over. My life's gonna end, 287 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna die in a freaking hurricane tropical storm. 288 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: The way they were pinning the picture. I was mainly 289 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: concerned about the wind because I thought, Man, if it 290 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: gets really windy, that's a nightmare situation. And fortunately it 291 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: didn't seem all that windy. It just was consistent rain. 292 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta tell you unpopular opinion, Danny. When 293 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: I was back east in Maine the week prior, it 294 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: rained much harder. When I was driving down I ninety 295 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: five to go back to Boston, it was a much 296 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: harder rain than it was here. It was just consistent. 297 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: And the problem is, obviously we don't get a lot 298 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: of rain, so when it rains, all hell breaks loose. 299 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: And did you see the video clip on the internet 300 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: of the people slipping and sliding on the freeway not 301 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: being able to handle their way too fast and then raining. 302 00:16:55,720 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 3: It was pure comedy watching the networks here in Los Angeles, 303 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 3: so we turned the TV on middle of the day. 304 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 3: I think they overhyped it so badly. Dallas Rains is 305 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 3: going to be in the studio for twenty four hours 306 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 3: and that sort of thing. They were running promos and 307 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 3: they were just so excited over this. They were lathered 308 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 3: up in the newsroom, you know, you know, if there's 309 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 3: gonna be some sort of big catastrophe and it's being forecasted, 310 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 3: Oh my god, like this, that's their super Bowl in 311 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 3: the weather department. So we turn on the news because, 312 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 3: like you said, it didn't seem so bad. It was 313 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 3: a little windy outside. It was kind of strange because 314 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 3: it had that dirty pre rain smell where the oil 315 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 3: off the roads are beginning to you know, wash away, 316 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 3: and it stayed like that. So it was kind of 317 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 3: a weird tropical Florida feeling. But other than that, it 318 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 3: wasn't a big deal because it was just a nice 319 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 3: little rain shower, a little bit of wind, but nothing special. 320 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 3: But then ben, oh my god, an earthquake. Oh yes, 321 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 3: they took this earthquake and ran with. 322 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: Its orgasm type. 323 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 3: End of the world type shit, Oh my god, end 324 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 3: an earthquake in the middle of a tornado. 325 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: It's out of the Bible. It's out of the Bible. 326 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 3: Volcanic eruptions and tornadoes and earthquakes and hurricanes. It was 327 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 3: beautiful watching this all develop on the local TV stations. 328 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 3: So I believe we started out by watching KTLA channel five, 329 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 3: and it was comedy, pure comedy. There was this female newscaster, 330 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 3: a female reporter, i should say, and she was driving 331 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 3: the TV truck. They went to her because she was 332 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 3: on the one eighteen freeway, not far from where the 333 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 3: earthquake was, because she was on her way driving to 334 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 3: a venture. Okay, so they're like, let's go to Janice, 335 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 3: who's actually driving to Ventura right now. The camera goes 336 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 3: to her. It's a live shot with her on the freeway. 337 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 3: Ben She looked like she was about thirteen years old 338 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 3: because she didn't even fit in the seat of the van. 339 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 3: She's trying to drive and speak to them at the 340 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 3: same time. It was the most awkward camera shot, and 341 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 3: she was babbling on and on about headed towards the 342 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 3: epicenter and as you can see in front of me, 343 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,959 Speaker 3: there's only a couple of cars on the freeway, so 344 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 3: people are heating the warning about staying off the freeways. 345 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 3: She was on the air with them, I'm not kidding 346 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 3: you for a good ten minutes, reporting on the two 347 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 3: cars that were driving in front of her on the freeway. 348 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: Fascinating television. 349 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 4: My wife summed it up the best. She said, what 350 00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 4: the fuck is this? That is called filler? I think 351 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 4: that is called television spam. You're all trying to fill 352 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 4: the time. You're just really trying to fill the time. 353 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 3: It's kind of like a car chase too, because you're right, 354 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 3: it is filler. They don't know what to do. They 355 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 3: just keep repeating the same thing over and over. 356 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: It's unscripted. Yeah, that's the other thing we needed, Danny. 357 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: We had the earthquake, we had the storm. We needed 358 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: a police chase. Also. That would have been the third 359 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: third of Dante's Inferno, the Five Rings of Hell. That 360 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 1: would have been the third one in the Five Rings 361 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 1: of Hell. 362 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 3: Yo, Well, they're tap dancing so much. They get super 363 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 3: excited when somebody, anybody is brought in to speak to them, 364 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 3: even if that person is regurgitating the same bullshit that 365 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 3: they've been repeating for the past half hour. So now 366 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 3: they get somebody on to talk about the earthquake and 367 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,640 Speaker 3: where it was centered and what does this mean? And 368 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 3: so she and my girl's like, damn, she looks like 369 00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 3: she's been alive since the first earthquake. Now she's like 370 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,959 Speaker 3: stuttering and she's explaining to the audience what an earthquake is. 371 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: Loser. 372 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 3: This is a new low for Southern California television. Man, Okay, 373 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 3: they overhyped the hurricane. Now they desperately were scrambling to 374 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 3: have a big payoff. This was the best part. The 375 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 3: Chargers game was still scheduled for Sunday, right and it 376 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 3: was the same bad TV coverage. They are still still 377 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 3: searching on a way to give a big payoff to 378 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 3: all of the viewers on this what turned out to 379 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 3: be a little storm for us. And they're like, yeah, 380 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 3: you know, the Chargers game is still going to go 381 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 3: on though. And the TV anchor said, I'll say this though, 382 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 3: if you have a friend in Inglewood, I would go 383 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 3: there after the game, just for precaution, you know, just 384 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 3: go and hang out for a while. And the other 385 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 3: anchor said, that's a great idea. Me and my wife, 386 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 3: he looked at each other and we're like, yeah, because 387 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 3: we all have friends in Inglewood. 388 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 1: Oh, of course. Let me tell you something. There's a 389 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: fine bubbling community in Southern California, in the hood in Inglewood. 390 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 3: When Ben Maller is at the Chargers game. He's gonna 391 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 3: call Joel Elliott from Fox Sports Radio and be like, hey, Joel, 392 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 3: I know you live in Inglewood. Channel two told me 393 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 3: to go hang out with you after the game. 394 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, i'd hang out. Well, Joel's great long suffering 395 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: Lions fan. But remember Helmet Man lives in the hood 396 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: in Inglewood, so that's right, that's his neighborhood over there, 397 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 1: right near Sofi Stadium. So I'd have to track down 398 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: Helmet man. I'm actually on the live air. Yes, there's 399 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: an on air light, sir, the on air light indicats 400 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 1: you're on the air. You're talking into a microphone in 401 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 1: a radio station. You are on the live air, Yes, yes, 402 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: you're on. 403 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 3: Now. Lastly, how we are over earthquakes. I did feel it. 404 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 3: I was taking a nap. It shook me out of bed. 405 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 3: I walked downstairs, family sitting down in the living room, 406 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 3: girls holding the baby, and they just calmly look at 407 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 3: me and they're like, oh, you felt it, and I'm like, yeah, 408 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 3: I felt it. And that's it. That was the beginning. 409 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 3: In the end, there's no running around in circles screaming, 410 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 3: oh my god, there's been an earthquake. We're so used 411 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 3: to it and so jaded in California that that's how 412 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 3: we react now, just like you felt it. Yea, I 413 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 3: felt it. 414 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: Well, now you can get a shirt, you know, baby's 415 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: first earthquake and you can get something like that, those. 416 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 3: First Southern California apocalypse. 417 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: Now are you doing the full baby book, Danny?

The word 434 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: of the week, word of the week, So the word 435 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: of the week. This week is pundit. Big week for pundits. 436 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: We have pundits in sports, but big week politically because 437 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 1: there was a debate this week and so we saw 438 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: if you were watching the cable news channels, there's a 439 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: lot of political pundits who did their thing and commented 440 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: and all that. And it's a word that I use 441 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: off of it. I think I used it yesterday with 442 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: Brian Billick. I used the word pundit. So where did 443 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: the word begin? What's the origin story of the word pundit. Well, 444 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 1: pundit dates back almost four hundred years to the sixteen seventies. 445 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: It dates back to It's a Sanskrit word, whatever that means, 446 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 1: but it's it's been translated as pundit from the original form. 447 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: It was referred to originally as someone who had committed 448 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: to memory a significant amount of the Hindu religious text 449 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: known as the Vitas I believe vedas and essentially what 450 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: it was. It became over the years, it became someone 451 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 1: that was a learned man, a philosopher, and by the 452 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: nineteenth century word pundit expanded to what it means today, 453 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 1: like on television or radio, some expert we had Brian 454 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: Billick on the Pundit yesterday, and so the word of 455 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: the week he goes all the way back, all the 456 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: way back to the sixteen seventies, and it involved memorizing 457 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: Hindu religious texts.
