1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: Kabbooms.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the

6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: Wow.

8
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 2: The clearing House of Hot takes break free for something special.

9
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.

10
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour we meet Ben

11
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: Maller and Danny g. Happy Saturday to you, the last

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: Saturday before the holidays. But you already knew that. That's

13
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: the twenty first day of December, Danny, and here we

14
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: are hanging out on big, big holidays today. It's a

15
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: winter solstice today.

16
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been the past couple of days. Every single

17
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 3: day on the freeway was like a Friday.

18
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's been nasty, man. It took me forever

19
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: to get back from Benny versus the Penny. On Thursday,

20
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: it was as bad as like the day before Thanksgiving break,

21
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: you know, and everyone's gone. It was unreal.

22
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 3: I feel like half the people are trying to get

23
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 3: the f out of Dodge and the other half of

24
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 3: the people are trying to get one last work day in.

25
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's it's not so, it's not so. So

26
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: how does one celebrate, by the way, the winter solstice?

27
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 4: Do it?

28
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,199
Speaker 1: What are you supposed to do? I have a moment,

29
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: you know, that's some kind of drink or a doughnutters,

30
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: I don't know.

31
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: It's uh, you think you're supposed to write six six

32
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 3: six on your forehead.

33
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,559
Speaker 1: There you go, it's a good idea, and.

34
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 4: You run naked through your nearest target.

35
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: So this is the shortest period of daylight and the

36
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: longest night of the year in the northern hemisphere. So

37
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: this is that's the winter solstice. So there you got

38
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: your farmer's almanac. And in the beginning, nine point eight

39
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: billion years ago the universe was created, we think, who

40
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: the hell knows? And the Sun the earth whole thing.

41
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: And then sixteen hundred BC that is the latest possible

42
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: date for the construction of the monument that revolves around

43
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: the Sun's or I don't know. There's a lot of

44
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: mumbo jumbo and they talk about stone hinge and all

45
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: this stuff, but today is the day for the winter solstice.

46
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: It is also there's some other fugazy holiday. It's Humbug

47
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: Day today, Danny. So that's the day I can get

48
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: into humbug.

49
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, you could ruin somebody's trip to Disneyland.

50
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 4: Oh.

51
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: Yes, National Humbug Day today every December twenty first, and

52
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:46,959
Speaker 1: allows you to just say, bo humbug. That's it. It's

53
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: holiday season, you know, a lot like going on. I

54
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: presents for people and parties and all that, and so

55
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: why not just have a day people that created is

56
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: that you're allowed twelve humbugs today, which is the day

57
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: of the holiday. It is a day with so many opportunities.

58
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: Shout out my homeboy Ebenezer Scrooge. Absolutely right, it is

59
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: a day for him ba humbug at the end of

60
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: the day, Danny. We also celebrate It's don't make your

Speaker 4: Our teenage daughter celebrates that daily.

63
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: Celebrates that.

64
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 4: The time.

65
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: There was one other one that I caught my attention.

66
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find it. There's a bunch of these

67
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: weird Oh, it's a short girl Appreciation Day today, Danny.

68
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: That's yeah, goal Appreciation Day, the twenty first of December.

69
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: Who came up with that? My god, I don't know.

70
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 3: That's how I met my wife inside the grocery store.

71
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 3: I reached up to get a jeremanne as far off

72
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 3: the shelf, and.

73
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: The rest is history. You get away from me. On

74
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: today's Fifth Hour, we will have not my comrade, the

75
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: PSA public service announcement, and fire the commons, plus well

76
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: have the phrase of the week. All that and more.

77
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: I would like to begin by pointing out that I

78
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: was very excited on Friday. I had Thursday night into

79
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: Friday off from the radio show. We still did the

80
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour podcast on Friday, but then the rest of

81
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: the day I had time to relax and I was

82
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: looking forward to watching a competitive college football playoff game

83
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: yesterday between the fighting Irish of Notre.

84
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 3: Dame bringing back the BCS bring back BC.

85
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: I was like, I really, in my head, Indiana was

86
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: going to make this a game. It would be a

87
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: fourth quarter game. It would be decided in the fourth quarter,

88
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: and it was like twenty seven to three years something

89
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: like it was in Indiana scored late a couple of

90
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: times to make it look a little closer than it was,

91
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: but it was a total disaster for the Hoosiers. They

92
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: had an opportunity. I had an opportunity, and they did

93
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,799
Speaker 1: not play well last night, so we'll see if better

94
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: things happen. Here today is the College Football Extended Dance Remix.

95
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: That's what we say in radio, right, Danny, the extended

96
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: dance remix of the college football Playoff, which will be

97
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: going on between now and forever.

98
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 3: I guess yeah, I heard they're going to turn this

99
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: into a European style tournament next year.

100
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: Oh is that right?

101
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 4: But yeah, they're taking a page from the NBA.

102
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,239
Speaker 1: Well yeah, yeah, have a cup. Just have a cup.

103
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: Have a Middle Eastern airline. The other thing too, they

104
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 1: can do they should have in college. You should go

105
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 1: to a lower level. You know that. You know European soccer.

106
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: If you soccer, you like the worst team, you gotta go.

107
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: Relegation they call it. I love relegation. Relative in America

108
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: we reward in competence. I don't like that in American sports,

109
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: if you're the worst team, you get the top pick.

110
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,559
Speaker 1: But imagine, Danny, you're a Raider fan. Instead of playing

111
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: for the top pick, imagine the Raiders and Giants were

112
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: desperately trying to win to avoid being sent to the

113
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: Canadian Football League. It would be a much different dynamic right.

114
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 3: This whole season would have been completely different. Then, instead

115
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 3: of losing on purpose, the front office would have scrambled

116
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 3: and signed your quarterback Matthew Stafford back when he was available.

117
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 4: Yeah.

118
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: Oh a trane inform. Yeah, exactly, exactly, exactly. Yeah, So

119
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: I did want to share this story. So earlier this

120
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: week we had an in studio visit. Now, not a guest,

121
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: because I don't do guests because I'm on at night.

122
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: Guests are normally paid and all that stuff you go

123
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: through the pr people, so I don't do that. On

124
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: the overnight show, we have people I like, people I

125
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 1: know or might know or know from the radio. And

126
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: so this week our friend Jesse better known on the

127
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: show as Jay Scoop, he had reached out to me.

128
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: He just got back to the States from fifteen months

129
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: this cat spent in Ukraine. He was helping out the

130
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: military in Ukraine, and he came back to visit us.

131
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: And he's won the Malord Palooza talent show four times,

132
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: He's been a judge in the talent show. Very talented musician,

133
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: he's got the gift. And so he stopped by and

134
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: was telling his stories about what life was like living

135
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: in a war zone and helping out the Ukrainian Jayscoop

136
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: was in the US military. He served a number of

137
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: years back in the day, and so he has military

138
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: training and he felt that his family is from that

139
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: part of the world, in the DNA and all that,

140
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: so he felt the need to help out. So he

141
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: went there and was helping the troops and not on

142
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: the front lines, but he was occasionally on the on

143
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: the front lines against the the Russian troop. So it

144
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: was a controversial show.

145
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 4: Danye Yea. I was going to say, did you get

146
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 4: any complaints from any Russians?

147
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: Well not, I don't know if they're Russian or not.

148
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: But I got a lot of complaints from people that

149
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: were upset by that. So I also got people that

150
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: loved Jayscoop and thought, wow, this is great, this is wonderful.

151
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: But everything's political. That certainly is political, listen, I And

152
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: it's not an issue whether I agree with all the

153
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: money that Joe Biden sent over to Ukraine, right because

154
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: I obviously I think you know where I stand on

155
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: that day. I think it's a little obsessive, but I

156
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: respect a guy that would go out there and if

157
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: you're living in a war zone. Jay Scoop could have

158
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: easily died been hit by a missile. There were missiles

159
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: that hit near where he was staying in Ukraine, so

160
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: and I wanted to hear his stories. And he he

161
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: had brought a couple of things that I didn't know

162
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: about for show and tell. He did give me a

163
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: as a gift. There was a medical pack that had

164
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: been given from the US people that were there, the

165
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: ex military that were there, that they'd given to the

166
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: Ukraine people. He'd shown me that and he said that

167
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: was something I could have. And then he also brought

168
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: and this is where he got really controversial, the helmet

169
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: that had been worn in the goggles from a Russian

170
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: soldier that had been killed out in the battlefield.

171
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 4: And I saw I saw pictures of this.

172
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, So he didn't. I mean, he handed me

173
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: this on the air. He checked this out, So I

174
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: was all right, helmet whatever. So I grabbed it. And

175
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: then as I'm holding it, he like tells me this

176
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: somebody died in that. Oh you know, yea, yea, And

177
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: you know it's a little creepy and a little odd, you know.

178
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: But I looked at it and it was like this

179
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: helmet looked like it was very old on the inside

180
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: and stuff. I don't know if you tell from the photo.

181
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 3: It only got weird when Coop took it and started

182
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 3: to grind weed up inside of it.

183
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: So that's a Russian bong, dude, Come on anyway. So

184
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: he showed me that and some other things that he

185
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 1: had taken from from Ukraine. He also said that when

186
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: he left going he left through Poland and there was

187
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: you know, some issues getting stuff out of there and whatnot.

188
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: And it was really nice to catch up with him

189
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: and we had a nice visit. But I did get

190
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: some emails from people very upset, you know, ranting and raven.

191
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: One person sent me about five pages Danny. I didn't respond,

192
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to name them because I'm.

193
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 4: Gonna four and a half pages too much.

194
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, going on this guy in the soapboxes.

195
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: Oh my, you know, I love you. It's always I

196
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: love your show. But you know, and did I point

197
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: out Danny anything before the word but is not true?

198
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: When you say something and then put the butt in there,

199
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: then that you're changing the context of everything. So and

200
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: I get that people have issues with the certain things

201
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: I understand it. I did not put Jayscoop on to

202
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: make some kind of political statement. He's just a friend

203
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: of mine from the show. He's been great to us.

204
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: He set up that Seattle meet and greet we did

205
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: back in twenty nineteen, right before COVID, and that was

206
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: his production and he made that happen and I had

207
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: a great time in Seattle hanging with him and Robbie

208
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: the Mariner fan came up from Oregon and all those guys,

209
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: and we had we had a wonderful time. JJ and Renton, Nostridinius.

210
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: I mean, these are legends on the show that we're

211
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: at the Malor meet and greet, and some other people

212
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: I did not name that will be very upset. I

213
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: did not name them. So we go back to a

214
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: number of years. He'd been a big part of the

215
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: show over the years, and so he's back. We were

216
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: worried about him. He would give me some updates while

217
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: he was there, and so I'm happy he's back. And

218
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: I felt like, well, I have him in every once

219
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 1: in a while, why not change it up a little bit.

220
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: So it was great to have Jay Scoop stuff. I

221
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: think some of this also, Danny not only is it

222
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: political right, because it is controversial the amount of US

223
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: tax dollars that went to Ukraine. I totally get that.

224
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: It was also a case of people, I think a

225
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: little jealous of the amount of attention Jayscoop got. You

226
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: know how the p Ones could be, Danny. They don't

227
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: like the others getting too much attention. They want their

228
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: own slice of the pie, and when somebody else gets

229
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: the whole pie, they don't like that.

230
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 3: So I think we got a new nickname for you

231
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 3: to add to the list, that the income poop of NATO,

232
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 3: NATO's nincom poopers.

233
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. I am not making some kind of geopolitical statement.

234
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: I am not. I just thought it was an interesting story.

235
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: It's not every day that you know somebody that spent

236
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: fifteen months living in a country that is at war

237
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: and chose to live there, just like you chose to

238
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: go there and anyway, all right, but I guess that's

239
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: a public service announcement to the p Ones. Danny was like,

240
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: just if you're gonna complain, I get it, you're unhappy.

241
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: You don't need to send five pages. That's way too much,

242
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: As Danny said, just say, send one line. You fing

243
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: f fu and then move on. That's all you need

244
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 1: to do. Don't waste your time. I didn't read all

245
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: five pages, by the way, I only read like one

246
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: page and that.

247
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 4: Was that blank, my blank and blank.

248
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 3: You have you ever been to the CVS pharmacy right

249
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 3: down the street from our studios.

250
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: Yes, I have. And not only have I been there, Danny,

251
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: I have been there in the like three thirty four

252
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: in the morning, when every crackheads out. He's inside and

253
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: outside that But are they still open twenty four hours?

254
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: They used to be open twenty four hours?

255
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 4: We ours, I know they still are.

256
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: Okay, I've not been there in a while, but that

257
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: is one of the few places out in the San

258
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: Fernando Valley that is open twenty four hours. I've been

259
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: there not a while, though not in a while while.

260
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: Always a little shady crowd at that location.

261
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 3: Though everything else in that shopping center has came and gone.

262
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 4: There used to be a Marie Calendar's restaurant.

263
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: There, remember that.

264
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's long gone. Now the big party City that's there.

265
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 3: They just announced that their remaining locations are all closing.

266
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: Party Cities going out of business.

267
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 3: Really, yeah, out of business. And another company killed by Amazon.

268
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 4: You killed it?

269
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: Wow, that's wild. I did not know that. I did

270
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: not know that. Interesting.

271
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 3: So two afternoons in a row on Thursday and Friday,

272
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 3: I left my house early. Where our school district is,

273
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 3: they did half days for the middle school.

274
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 4: In high school. They tortured the kids, made them stay.

275
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 3: A week longer than a lot of other school districts,

276
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 3: but they did half days. I guess just so the

277
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 3: schools could still get that money. Okay, so my clock,

278
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 3: I usually leave by one pm to get to the

279
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 3: studios by one four. In this case, I had to

280
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 3: get on the road at twelve thirty because I knew

281
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 3: it was like a ticking time bomb with all the parents.

282
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 3: Took me fifteen extra minutes just to make it to

283
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 3: the freeway early. Getting to Sherman Oaks, I said, okay, well,

284
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 3: you know what, I'm gonna do a little bit of

285
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 3: stocking stuffer shopping by going to that CVS. There is

286
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 3: a line, and I'm not exaggerating here. It had to

287
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 3: have been at least twenty different people one checker. That's

288
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 3: it in the whole stinking store.

289
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: Nightmare, nightmare. Yeah, that's leave territory. That's I ain't wait.

290
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 3: I figured I had to get at least one nice

291
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 3: cool picture that was on a magnet for my Wifey

292
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 3: of CoA, of big Baby CoA. Figured that would be

293
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 3: a nice memory, great photo of him, and I turned

294
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 3: it into three magnets, put the order in on their kiosk,

295
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 3: avoided that big, long line. I'm like, great, I have

296
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 3: my little receipt. I'll just come back after Covino and

297
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 3: Rich and pay for it, and hopefully there won't be

298
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 3: as many people in line. So I go back get

299
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 3: these magnets. There was about ten people in line when

300
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 3: I was there. It still sucked, but wasn't as bad

301
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 3: as when I placed the order. I get out of

302
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 3: the store, I open up the little thing they put

303
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 3: pictures like photos in, and these magnets suck.

304
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 4: They're too dark. The pictures came out dark. They look cheap.

305
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're off center, but I'm not going back in there.

306
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 3: On Friday, I get there early again and I said, well,

307
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 3: you know what, might as well talk to a manager.

308
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 3: I'll ask if they could redo these. Oh my god,

309
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 3: there's so many damn people in this one stupid line,

310
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 3: standing there screaming at a manager as this older gentleman.

311
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 3: Meanwhile behind me, more people are lining up. More people

312
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 3: are lining up because this one guy is putting a

313
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 3: stranglehold on things. By the time I got up there,

314
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 3: I felt bad. I lightheartedly said to the guy, I

315
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 3: have a return too, but I'm not gonna yell at you.

316
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 4: He looked like he wanted to quit right on the spot.

317
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 3: This guy looked like he wanted to say fuck you

318
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 3: to all of us and leave the CVS.

319
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: Oh I bet yeah. I mean, what a nightmare, And

320
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: you don't make a ton of money doing that, and

321
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: people are just complete assholes.

322
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, it just got me feeling a little bit.

323
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: Man.

324
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 3: This is the time of the year where customers need

325
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 3: to take a chill pill, take a deep breath, and

326
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 3: have a little bit of patience.

327
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Fortunately, my wife buys everything on Amazon, I think,

328
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: so we really haven't gone to the store other than

329
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: for groceries we have. Today is a big party day today, Danny.

330
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,080

Speaker 1: I'm ready to fire the cannons, is what I'm ready

337
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: to do. So I did want to say that I

338
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: had a wonderful time last week. I mentioned I was

339
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: going to the Bucks Chargers game, and Chargers have played again.

340
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: I'm back on Thursday against the Broncos. I did not

341
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: go to that game, as I said on yesterday's podcast,

342
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 1: but last Sunday I attended the Charger game mainly I'm

343
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: not gonna lie, mainly to see my friend TJ Reeves,

344
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: part of the Fox Alumni Association, used to host a

345
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: weekend show, and TJ is a buddy of mine radio pal,

346
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: and I make it a point every time Tampa comes

347
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: to town. They don't come to town every offen you

348
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: very often and maybe once every two or three years,

349
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: sometimes longer than that, they'll come to LA And so

350
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: I made sure to pay TJ a visit and hang out,

351
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: good conversation and he says hello, Danny. He also told

352
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: me he went to dinner on Saturday before the game

353
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: with an old friend of ours, the z Dog, who

354
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: works at our company. Used to be one of the

00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: big boss Fox sports.

356
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 4: Radio and Ben I would have gave TJ a full

00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: he told me about that and it was it was great.

361
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: We had a good, good visit, tell all the radio stories.

362
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: And TJ's got a couple of daughters who are now

363
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: in high school. And I've known, Wow.

364
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 4: I remember when his kids were little.

365
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: I know, dude. It's like we used to see photos

366
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: of his little kids, you know, and they were little girls,

367
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 1: like little children and babies. And now they're in high school.

368
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: It's like, wow, where is It's like we're just zooming

369
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: by life. Anyway, it was great to catch up and

370
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: hear about them a little bit and you know what

371
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: they're doing and all that. And then TJ brought me

372
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: over to say hello to my old friend Gene Deckerhoff,

373
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: the iconic voice of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and for

374
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: so many years I knew him as the voice of

375
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: the Florida State Seminals. Back in Florida State was good

376
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: at college football. I'm old enough to remember when they

377
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: were good. It's been a long time, and Geen Deckerhoff

378
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: was the play by play guy for both Florida State

379
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 1: in their glory days with Bobby Bowden and has done

380
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. And his signature call with the Bucks is

381
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: fire the Conons and so and the story that you

382
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: know about Dan. We talked about it on this podcast.

383
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: Last time Tampa Bay was in LA I think they

384
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: were playing the Rams if I remember, But I was

385
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: at the game again to see TJ and I was

386
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: in the elevator at Sofi Stadium. I was going upstairs

387
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: and I heard this voice of somebody trying to find

388
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 1: out where to go. He needed to go to the

389
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay radio booth, and I immediately recognized the voice

390
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: without ever knowing. I didn't know what this guy looked like.

391
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: I didn't know much about other than the voice Geen

392
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: decker Off, and so immediately, oh, wait a minute, I

393
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: know where to go. Gene, and I escorted him down

394
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: the corridor through a security door and to the Tampa

395
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 1: Bay Visiting Radio booth at Sofi because I've been there

396
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 1: a number of times, and so we were catching up

397
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: and Gene was very polite, very nice man, and uh

398
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: it was he told some stories and you know a

399
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: couple of stories and I wasn't with him for that long.

400
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: He was getting ready for the game, and and he

401
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: you know, he's one of these guys. I was very

402
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 1: lucky when I got into radio. I started out at

403
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: you know, I think you were younger than I was.

404
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: I was nineteen when I got into radio. You were

405
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: how old were you? You were even younger than fifteen? Yeah,

406
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: I was nineteen. Danny was fifteen. So we're lifetime radio dudes.

407
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: But when I first started, I went from in the

408
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: crowd like at eighteen and then nineteen, I'm in the

409
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: press box and I got a chance to meet all

410
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: these play by play guys. And they're all pretty much dead,

411
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: you know. And I but I loved here. I love

412
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: these old sorts. I read books about these guys, like Harry. Uh,

413
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: Harry Carey in Chicago. I wrote an elevator with Harry Carey,

414
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: saw him several times, talk to him several times. I

415
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: was in the elevator Dodger Stadium when he tried to

416
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: pick up the elevator girl. Uh, and it was very awkward. Uh.

417
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: Ernie Harwell, the voice of the Tigers. I met Ernie,

418
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: a very nice man. All these guys were really cool.

419
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker 1: They were just happy that some young loser knew who

420
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: they were. And then Harry Callous. That wasn't all I

421
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: used to have Harry. Harry Callous did PSAs he was

422
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 1: the voice of NFL film Harry Callous and had the

423
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: pipes the voice of God. It sounded.

424
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 3: Now on this trip, did you get to meet the

425
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 3: Chargers play by play guy Matt money Smith?

426
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: No, I know. I know him, but I don't know

427
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: him as well as Petros. It's weird, you know, it's

428
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: like the Petrol's money shows. Yeah, you know, it's not

429
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 1: like Petros. I I've known Petro since he played football

430
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: at USC. It's an odd thing. We used to have

431
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: him on the Ben and Dave show that I did

432
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: in LA. So I'm known p since he was a

433
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: college kid like Matt was at k Rock. So it's

434
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: like a different I know him. He's polite and nice

435
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: to me, but I don't really know him that well.

436
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, Danny. It's like one of those.

437
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: But I did see him walking around. I did see

438
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: him walking around, but I didn't want to bug him,

439
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: and he obviously didn't want to bug me because he

440
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: didn't say anything where you know, when you're in the

441
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: room with petros He you know.

442
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 3: Well, Matt had to save his voice anyways for those touchdown.

443
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: Calls, especially in the second half. That was so impressive.

444
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: Oh my god, twenty seven to nothing in the second

445
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: half of that.

446
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 3: Oh Manchlger's got their asses whooped by Baker Mayfield.

447
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: Wow, was that an ass kicking in the second half.

448
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 1: I did not see that one coming. I thought, well,

449
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 1: I'll be a close game, fourth quarter game, whatever. And no,

450
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: that was a punch to the solar plexus? Was that?

451
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: What that wasn't that game? Oh? By the way, today

452
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,760

00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: sleeping the busy.

467
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 4: If Mahomes could make the game banged up, you could

468
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 4: make it. Ben.

469
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. I was like, you should have sent me

470
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: a message on Thursday. I could have driven to Kansas City.

471
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 4: That's it I have. Why not?

472
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: It's with rush hour traffic in LA. It's like getting

473
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: around LA. All right, let's go. I got the phrase

474
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: of the week. Then are you ready for the phrase

475
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: of the week?

476
00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 4: The phrase?

477
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: Here's the phrase of the week?

478
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 2: Now.

479
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: I thought it was appropriate. At the end of the

480
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: year and many corporations decide to whack people. We're included

481
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: in that, by the way, unfortunately, but a lot of

482
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 1: companies get rid of people this time of the year.

483
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

484
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 3: I saw buddy of mine who worked at a big

485
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 3: station in Houston just got let go yesterday.

486
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: It's terrible.

487
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 3: I yeah, Eric, Eric listens to our podcast sometimes too,

488
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 3: so sorry to hear about that. He was a great

489
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 3: third guy on the morning show at this big Houston

490
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 3: station and they cut him bullshit.

491
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: Well hang in there, Eric, you're on the beach right now.

492
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: But you know, hopefully things will get better. A lot

493
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: of these companies wait until, you know, springtime and then

494
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: they rehire people. It's like for tax reasons. But it

495
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: doesn't make you feel any better when you're on the

496
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: beach and all that stuff. And so anyway, the term

497
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: getting the pink slip, So what does it mean? You

498
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: actually get a pink slip? So we look up and whatnot.

499
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: And according to the Dictionary, the first printed appearance of

500
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: pink slip was nineteen oh one. It was used to

501
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: reference insurance companies who notified customers of rate increases for

502
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: property coverage, and in June of nineteen oh five, the

503
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: Spokesman Review in Spokane, Washington reported insurance agents were upset

504
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: about twenty percent rate hike for fire policies, fearing their

505
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: customers would objectate. So that that was the first one

506
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: of the first uses of it, So it was about insurance.

507
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: In June of nineteen thirty seven, number of teachers were

508
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: laid off from jobs and the federal government the WPA

509
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 1: Adult Education Project, a corner to the New York Daily News.

510
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: They said the people were laid off, They were dismissed

511
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: in a dire scene at which police were present to

512
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: prevent any civil disobedience. The woman and the women out

513
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: there that were let go. There was like a line

514
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: of guards up and tables and clerks and all that stuff.

515
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 1: Some were handed pink slips. They were fired. If you

516
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: got a pink slip, you were fired. Some were giving

517
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: yellow buttons they were hired, and obviously they were fine.

518
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: And so the Daily Mail or Daily News rather reported

519
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: that one laidoff worker had pinned her pink slip to

520
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: the lapel there to protest the firing. So how frequently

521
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: this occurred, they don't really know, but it's evidence that

522
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 1: people did actually get pink slips, wow, in nineteen thirty

523
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: so it's not that old the phrase. It's before we

524
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: were around, but it's not that old the phrase. So

525
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 1: getting the pink slip actually did happen to some people,

526
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: but the phrase it was originally for insurance stuff.

527
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 4: So she pinned it on like fuck your pink slip.

528
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: Like pretty much was. She was a spicy lady, I guess,

529
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: and she she's pinned it on there, So there you go.

530
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: That is it getting the pink slip or pink slip

531
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: a phrase I've used. We've all used it and watch

532
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: out for the pink slip, and so it actually was used,

533
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 1: but it only goes back to the nineteen thirties. Well

534
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: that's a while now, it's almost been one hundred years.

535
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: So that is the phrase all the world, the phrase

536
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: we enjoy the NFL, enjoy the college football. We play

537
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 1: whack them all with our TV today, trying to watch

538
