He treats 4 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto Cutter the same as the rich 5 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse.

The mailbag is that not? Is that now? Wonderful? 12 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: The mailbag tremendous, tremendous, tremendace and interesting conversation. Danny G. 13 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: If you missed the Saturday podcast, you are the modern 14 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: Bill Ny the science guy. We gotta come up with 15 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: the nickname. We have not yet come up with a 16 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: nickname for you, but we well, what runs Danny G 17 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: Radio really flows like. That's a great what you're known 18 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: as Danny G Radio? Something science to have the spit ball. 19 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: One thing I know about the listener to this program 20 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: and and the radio show The restaurant radio show is 21 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: very creative. Some people like just Josh, Justin and Cincinnati. 22 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: They might be X rated names, but they're interesting. The 23 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: one thing I found out is that science is gonna 24 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,559 Speaker 1: kill me, literally because I had to bring those projects 25 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: home in big boxes every day. And my tinder ronis 26 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: gotta shout her out because she helped me cut holes. 27 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: I had like a whole workshop going on on our 28 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: kitchen table, talk about over time, hours been and that's 29 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: why all teachers across the board, the good teachers, not 30 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: the old grouchy ones that are tenured, but the good ones, 31 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: they bring their work home and so you're really working 32 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: around the clock. That week felt like three weeks. So yeah, 33 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: I'm definitely looking for some easier projects and experiments to 34 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: get into here. The good thing is the longer you 35 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: do this, you're you're going to be like that tenured 36 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: teacher where you have like a whole roll of decks 37 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: of projects and all that. But then you also want 38 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: to keep it fresh, right, you know what to do 39 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: the same things over and over again. So it's like 40 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: that give and take. Do you wanna yeah, have everything 41 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: laid out? It's like, uh, my, my mother in law. 42 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: She's a she's a teacher, just actually just retired. But 43 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: she'd been doing it for a long time, so she 44 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,119 Speaker 1: had like all of her like she knew everything, all 45 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: the lessons, plans and all that stuff because she's been 46 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: doing it for so long, so she had all laid up. 47 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: But it's kind of like doing a radio show. That's 48 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: one good thing about the radio show. Like every day 49 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: is different though, there's so much us to react to, 50 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: so you've got some built in stuff. But you no, 51 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: you're right. The rundowns that we do for the show, 52 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: it's similar to lesson planning. There's a lot of similarities. Yeah, 53 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 1: it's you're planning stuff out and making you know, kind 54 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: of looking at the clock and figuring out what needs 55 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,399 Speaker 1: to go. Were putting a jigsaw puzzle together every day. 56 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: Sometimes you don't have enough pieces for the jigsaw puzzle, 57 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: but you still gotta put it together. And when one 58 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: of the little kids burns their hand on the hot 59 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,239 Speaker 1: glue gun, it's like a bad segment on the radio. 60 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: Exactly exactly. All right, let's get to the mail back 61 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: here we go, hit us, strike up the band, ohio, wow, 62 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: hit that button right there. It's all right. The first 63 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: email comes from a very polarizing figure on this show, 64 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: Helen and Stu from Mallard Town, USA. It is signed 65 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: and the email reads boys extended vacation Deshaun Watson settlement 66 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: dittos from Cape Cod How about that they're hanging out 67 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: on Cape Cod? Uh? They say Benjamin is short on time, 68 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: but suffice to say that wherever we holiday, the Mallard 69 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: Militia juggernaut is with us. In the air everywhere. Next week, 70 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: in the fifth hour mail bag, crazy vacation drama including 71 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: Code three, Lights and sirens, Stu almost die stayed Helen 72 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: and Stu. Good to hear that Stu still with us. 73 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: Now that's a tease, Danny, that's an email tease. She 74 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: didn't tell you how he almost died. No, no, no, 75 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: she's she said she's gonna tell us in the next 76 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: mail So we have to wait. I'm on the edge 77 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: of my seat right now. I cannot wait for the 78 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: next email. Do you want to take a guess? How 79 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: do you think Stu almost died? Why don't we take 80 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: a guess? Here they were hiking and he almost fell 81 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: down a cliff. I almost fell down a cliff. I 82 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: am going to go. He ate a meal that some 83 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 1: combination of foods that caused his innerds to react in 84 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: a negative way. Or he was playing tennis at a 85 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: country club on on the Cape and he overdid a 86 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: little bit and then he kind of passed out, so 87 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: they had to call am. I've got two answers. I'm 88 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: going with one of those, right, What is his food picks? Yeah, exactly, 89 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go oodles and noodles, pizza, hot dog, you 90 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: know a new hot dogs and lamb chops. Yeah right. 91 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: Marcel gets so upset, like Friday, we didn't have time 92 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: to do the food picks, and you can tell he 93 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: gets upset. It's it's pretty amusing, like he's bummed out. 94 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: He doesn't get to tell us what he had for 95 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,239 Speaker 1: dinner the night before when it's one of four things. 96 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: Next up, Tammy and Montana back to back and belly 97 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: to belly, Tammy and Helen bitter good, Fey to mambo. 98 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: Exactly right, these two get together, is yeah? Tammy rights in. 99 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: I have been listening to the podcast while at work 100 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: and enjoying the guests stories, life lessons and emails. My 101 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: question is about fan loyalty out of your top three 102 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: teams you are loyal to. Which one would you quit 103 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: being a fan of if your life dependent on it. Well, Tammy, 104 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: if my life depended on it, I quit all. All 105 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: of the teams aren't like. But but to answer your question, 106 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: this one's gonna surprise a fair amount of people. I 107 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: you'll be the judge of that. So my three favorite 108 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: teams are the Rams, the Clippers, and the Dodgers. The 109 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: one I would get rid of. You want to take 110 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: a guess which one it is name, I'm gonna say 111 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: Rams because they've flipped flop cities. That is correct, the Rams. 112 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: Because I lived many years of my life without the Rams. 113 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: In my life, I I liked football, I watched games. 114 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: I was a gambler. We did the bid on the 115 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: show where every year I had a different team that 116 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: I would follow in support for that year, and I 117 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: was wearing the clown makeup and all that. So I've 118 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: lived the life without the Rams, and so for me, 119 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: it's like, I liked the Rams that are back, and 120 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: I love the fact they won the Super Bowl and 121 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: I got to go to the NFC Championship game and 122 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: all that stuff was really cool. But I would dump 123 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: the Rams in a second, like I need to see 124 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: the Clippers win in my life, just one, just one championship. 125 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: I've seen the Dodgers win back in the day, although 126 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: it wasn't you know, the World Series I went to. 127 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: They didn't win the one, the one that was played 128 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: in Texas, uh, and not at Dodger Stadium. They won 129 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: all the games in Texas, So that would be Now 130 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: what about your Dadny, You're you're the Lakers, Dodgers, and Raiders. 131 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: So those are your top three? Yeah? This is hard. 132 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: I guess I would have to say baseball though, because 133 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff with MLB that I don't 134 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: agree with. I don't like the commissioner, I don't like 135 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: the greed of the stadium here in Los Angeles. It's ridiculous. 136 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: How Yeah, And because of that, I guess have some 137 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,839 Speaker 1: sort of reason to walk away from baseball. It would 138 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: be hard. I love the Dodgers a lot, but well, 139 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: the Dodgers had always treated their fans so well, now 140 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: they're just price gouging. I mean, I love the Dogs, 141 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I feel like the Dodgers are 142 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 1: like the baseball version of gasoline here in Southern California. Yeah, 143 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: it's yeah, they know I'm still gonna be a fan. 144 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: They know I have to pay it to see them. 145 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: And then Ben, they're pulling this crap where now I'm 146 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: paying every month for spectrum and some of the games 147 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: aren't even on the Dodgers station. Now, yeah, well that's 148 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: going everywhere. That's that's the whole thing you gotta buy. 149 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: Rob Manford has bent over every hardcore baseball fan. And 150 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: there's no vasseline. Uh and he's just uh, you know, 151 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: you know what's going on there. You not only have 152 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: to have your local cable, you've got to have on Fridays, 153 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: it's APT on Sundays it's the pea cock yeah them. Yeah, 154 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: it's like you're supposed to be growing the sport. But 155 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: it's just as you said, it's greed personified. It's it 156 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. We don't care about the customer. And and 157 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: that's the bullet excuse my French from the work stoppage, 158 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: which didn't last very long. It was like both sides, well, 159 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: we care about the fans. We're all about the fan. No, 160 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 1: you're shut up, shut up, all right. I mean I 161 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: like going to a game and here in the Oregon, 162 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: you know, and then here we go like that's cool 163 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: and all that, but ridiculous. And then and then you've 164 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: got the angels, and you've got the angels treating media 165 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: like pieces of crap. They are the pieces of crap 166 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: for doing that. But at least they're trying to do 167 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: like family night style promotions. Every ballpark in our country 168 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 1: should be bending over backwards to help the working man 169 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: and the working class families out right now. Yeah, it's like, 170 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: do you really need to charge the price? Like the 171 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: concession prices are so obscene. Yeah, it's bad enough we 172 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: have to pay those prices at the grocery store, we 173 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: have to get raped at the gas pump. If you're 174 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: baseball and you really want to grow your sport, I 175 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: would do what Atlanta did with their concession stands a 176 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: few years ago and make those prices one of the 177 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: selling points of Hey, come here, we're gonna take care 178 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: of you.

It's like, why do 181 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: they charge so much? Because they can write? Because they 182 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: can and they know that they've got you.

We did that during COVID in 234 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: and it was some of the most popular stuff that 235 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: we did. But I think that might be because there 236 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: was nothing else going on. Yeah maybe, yeah, but I 237 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: guess I'm interested to know the backstory of some of 238 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: the p ones too, So yeah, I could see how 239 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: the listeners would like that. All right, next time come back, 240 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: it's time from that. I'll call our friend Jennifer from 241 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: Richmond and Virginia, right, Sin says a little. Ben and 242 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: Danny always like when Jennifer takes time out to write, 243 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: and she says, have you ever been rehashing a movie 244 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: with someone fully confident in your description, only to be 245 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: corrected and told that you combine two movies and gave 246 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: a mash up description. She says, men, hope you're feeling 247 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: better from your wisdom teeth issue. I am feeling better, Jennifer, 248 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: thank you. Yes, Well, that's one of the things that's 249 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: very scary about the way courts worked for so many years, 250 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: where it was based on eyewitness testimony, and because what 251 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: you remember and what actually happened are often two totally 252 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: different things. You know, It's like it's our our memories 253 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: are so flawed. Like we we we remember certain things, 254 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: but there's a lot of stuff we leave out. And 255 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: and yeah, there's quotes that I've given from movies that 256 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: I was conveyed Jennifer that I was like, I know that, 257 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: and then upon further review, it was like, oh man, 258 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: that's that's that's not it at all. A great example 259 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: of that is feel the dreams. You know what, you 260 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: know what the line is, the great line in that 261 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: old baseball when you feel the dreams? Yeah, what if 262 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: if you build it, he will come. Yeah, if you 263 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: build it, he will come. But that is that is 264 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: not it, right, the actual the actual line. Oh, it's 265 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: a little different. Yeah, if you build it, they will come, ye, 266 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: not he will come, They will come. I guess we're 267 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: waiting for his dad. So that's why we all say that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 268 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: but that's just something that said. You know, once it 269 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: becomes the legend, you go with the who shot Liberty evilence? 270 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: Once the legend you go with the legend and all 271 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: that stuff. And there's there's a bunch of movie references 272 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: like that. But I'm sure that's happened to you too, right, 273 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: Danny and all that. Yeah. Yeah. Just last week, I 274 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 1: was talking about that Robert Redford classic The Natural Speaking 275 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: of Baseball, and I was explaining to my tender Rowni 276 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: son about that movie. He's never seen it, and I'm like, oh, 277 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: you would love that movie. So I started explaining the 278 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: movie a little bit my tender OROWNI was like, is 279 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: that what happened? I don't remember that? And then she 280 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,719 Speaker 1: tried to play it off like she didn't want to 281 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 1: watch it. She said, oh, yeah, Danny made me watch 282 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: that movie. H handcuffs or something. No, And then I 283 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: started reminding her parts of the movie. She's like, I 284 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: don't remember that. No, that wasn't in that movie. I 285 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: think I know that movie. I had it on VHS 286 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: tape as a kid, and we watched that movie over 287 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: and over and over again. That was in a full 288 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: time rotation. She just kind of thumbs her nose out 289 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: of classic, like, yeah, it's ok it's okay, it's shot 290 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: think Redemption. She had never seen that. I showed her 291 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: that movie and she's like it was all right. She 292 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: has bad taste in some movies. Yeah, well bad damn. 293 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: And also I just did the As far as the 294 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 1: memory thing though, again like the distorted memory, it's it's 295 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 1: kind of like I've brought this up before, because all 296 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 1: we do is audio here. We promote audio, we we 297 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: sell audio, and that's what we're in when the audio business. 298 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: And they've done studies that point out that in a 299 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 1: podcast like this or a radio show, most people only 300 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: remember seventeen of things they listened to spoken word, that's it. 301 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: So that means all of this content, at most, at 302 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: most is retained, which means you can do the math 303 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: on that at seventy five right down to toilet. So 304 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: could we record seventeen minutes for a podcast and then 305 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: repeat the same seventeen minutes. Again. That's a great idea. 306 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: That is an absolute wonderful Like it's like some sports 307 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: guys on the radio doing the first hour live and 308 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: then playing it over and over and over again, yes, 309 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: or doing one topic and yeah, repeating the bullet points 310 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: every hour the audience turns over. I don't need any 311 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: new content. We're good to happy to say. They do 312 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 1: not allow that at Fox Sports Radio.

Like 492 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: I I never used to go to the beach that much, 493 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: but now where I'm in the north Woods, it's not 494 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: that far away, so I've been going to the beach 495 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: a lot. I love it. It's been great. It's like 496 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: therapeutic to get my mind off the the rat race. 497 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 1: It's also good because that particular beach that the WiFi 498 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 1: doesn't the internet on my phone doesn't really work, so 499 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 1: I have to like really shut it down, like I 500 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: have no connection to the outside world there. That's pretty good. 501 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: But I like these little day trips around the area 502 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: in California here, so we do a lot of that. 503 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: But if you're in Kansas, like Kevin, you know a 504 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: lot more, have many more options you're geographically it's not 505 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: that far to drive to multiple different states to leave California. 506 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: When you're near the Pacific. It's a long haul to 507 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: get the Arizona or Nevada just to get to the 508 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: state line. It's a long Yeah. Alright, next up on 509 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: this Ni meny mony mo. Let's see who is next. 510 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: We don't need to play the SoundBite. Tony in Seattle 511 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: writes in he says a favorite sitcom and why he says, 512 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 1: keep up the good work. Well, thank you, Tony, as 513 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 1: you are hanging out in a city.

Uh so, 517 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: I gotta go old school with the sitcoms. Well before 518 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 1: I do old school does curb your enthusiasm? That's not 519 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: really a sitcom, right, Yeah, it's not a sitcom. Yeah, 520 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: there's no laugh track. I love Curby in my favorite 521 00:32:53,400 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: scripted or loosely scripted show old school. I watched the classics. 522 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: It depends on how old you want to go. I 523 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: love The Office. I think The Office is great, but 524 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,479 Speaker 1: that's an old show. All the shows I like, all 525 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: the sitcoms are old, like Cheers Seinfeld.

I don't know. I don't watch 539 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: network TV. Yeah I don't either, I have no idea. 540 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,720 Speaker 1: Me and the Tender RONI we watched stuff like Ninety 541 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 1: Day Fiance, I watched Better Call Saul stuff like that. 542 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 1: But yeah, Network TV. Well over here, my wife watches 543 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: like the French baking shows and all the foreign shows. 544 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: She loves foreign movies, and she likes movies where it's 545 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: in a you know, a different language and they've got 546 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 1: the words on the screen. And I hate that crap. 547 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 1: But I watched a lot of documentaries. I'm pretty boring, 548 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: all right. Next up balls fan Jimmy from Big Orange Country. 549 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: He writes into the podcast. He says, the word is 550 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,840 Speaker 1: that Tiger Woods turned down a billion dollars to play 551 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,800 Speaker 1: in the Live Golf League. So when you were Danny 552 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 1: g turned down a billion dollars to do another job. 553 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 1: Let me think about that. If it was blood money, right, 554 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: you put up what they're getting at You can rationalize anything. 555 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,880 Speaker 1: Everyone's got their price. And I'm gonna go I'm not 556 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: gonna be a phony and said I wouldn't do it. Uh, 557 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 1: I would do it. But the goodness is based on 558 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 1: my upbringing. I'm pretty sure the Saudies an't gonna throw 559 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: any money, so I don't worried about that. I think 560 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: I'm on the wrong tribe for them to send me 561 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: any money. But I uh, yeah, I would. Yeah, a 562 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: billion dollars, Come on, billion dollars, that's life changing money 563 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: for It's not a good comparison though, because Tiger Woods 564 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: is already filthy rich, whereas you know, we don't have 565 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: anything near a billion dollars. So but they're taking these guys, 566 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 1: the Saudis are taking these guys that had twenty million, 567 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,320 Speaker 1: which a lot of money, and they're giving them a 568 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty million. But how much is enough? I mean, 569 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,800 Speaker 1: how much? I'm sorry. If I had twenty million dollars, 570 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 1: then no, I would not sell my soul. I wouldn't. Well. 571 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,319 Speaker 1: The other argument I've heard is that all of these 572 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 1: guys are around more something, around the same age, they're 573 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 1: from the same generation of golf, and so they don't 574 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,479 Speaker 1: want to be the one left behind all of their 575 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 1: It's like, imagine, if you will, a world where all 576 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:16,240 Speaker 1: of your buddies, all of your friends are no longer there. 577 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 1: It's all different, and you're the last one left. But 578 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,280 Speaker 1: they're over there doing their thing in a different place, 579 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 1: and you could be part of it, but you stayed behind, 580 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. We had a really good 581 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 1: debate about this on the Covino and Rich Show last weekend. 582 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 1: I told them, if you guys had a C in 583 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 1: our shoe and it was being made in a sweatshop 584 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 1: by kids, would you be okay making the profits off 585 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 1: of that? I just feel like, you know, everybody wants money, 586 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 1: and it's so it's everything is so greed driven money, money, money, money, 587 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 1: But in the end, what is it? My mom always 588 00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:01,439 Speaker 1: taught me and my siblings, it's paper with m's on it. Now, 589 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,800 Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, I would love to make a 590 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,359 Speaker 1: ton of money, but at what cost? Where do your 591 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 1: morals lie? If you have any? Well, everyone has morals, 592 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,920 Speaker 1: but everyone, as I've said, everyone has a price. Like 593 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,239 Speaker 1: you say, you wouldn't do this, that and the other thing, 594 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,439 Speaker 1: but there is a dollar amount and you are true. 595 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 1: As I've gotten older, when I was younger, I always thought, well, 596 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:26,359 Speaker 1: it's all about getting money and stuff. And as I've 597 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,719 Speaker 1: seen my parents die and friends of mine die and 598 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 1: all that, it's like I've been at so many funerals 599 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: over the years and like, well, all these people work 600 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 1: their lives to get all this money and all this stuff. 601 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 1: And my mom busted her ash you had her own business. 602 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:40,760 Speaker 1: And then at the end, you leave it all behind, 603 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,800 Speaker 1: so you don't take it with you. You know, whatever 604 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,319 Speaker 1: you got you're leaving. You come into the world with 605 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 1: what you had, and yeah, everything else is just you 606 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,319 Speaker 1: leave it behind. What's the old saying you can't pack 607 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 1: that ship into a hearse? Yeah, well not anyone, but 608 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,799 Speaker 1: they used to it, like and that's the funny thing, Like, 609 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 1: that's why all this two right in the Yeah, I 610 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 1: guess if you're Egyptian, right, I'm bringing all my golden 611 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 1: riches with me, bitches.

I'm just saying, 641 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 1: but we may be there for the super Bowl though. Well, 642 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 1: that's true.

I can't believe it's been eleven years. 650 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 1: And uh and he says, for Danny g can you 651 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 1: slam dunk? Yeah? When I was a teenager, me and 652 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: my older brother could get up and touch the rim 653 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:29,359 Speaker 1: because we had enough hops when we were teens. But yeah, 654 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 1: as an adult, hell no, I can't get off the 655 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,759 Speaker 1: ground like that anymore. You need some flubber, that's what 656 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,280 Speaker 1: you need. You get that flubber. That's an outdated reference 657 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,719 Speaker 1: to flubber. That's an old movie. But Mike, Yeah, the 658 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 1: Blake Griffin thing was interesting because the slam Dunk contest 659 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,720 Speaker 1: was at Staples Center. Blake was he was a rookie 660 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 1: but he had missed his first year with injury, and 661 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,360 Speaker 1: he was a big deal. He was like the breakout 662 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 1: star in the NBA. The marketing arm of the NBA 663 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 1: wanted Blake Griffin to be this big deal and so 664 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 1: it was a slam Dunk contest. It was in l 665 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: A at Staples Center. Were just now the crypto we're 666 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 1: losing our ass arena or whatever it's called, and so uh. 667 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 1: The NBA had sent out a press release before the 668 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:14,480 Speaker 1: Slam Dunk Contest was concluded, and it's actually before it, 669 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,840 Speaker 1: actually I remember it was before it, and it said 670 00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:23,640 Speaker 1: congratulations to Blake Griffin on winning the Kia Slam Dunk concin. 671 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:29,439 Speaker 1: Blake was also a brand ambassador for Kia. Whoops, that's 672 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 1: how Wait a minute, And that was the one. If 673 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:35,799 Speaker 1: I remember, JaVale McGhee had an amazing dunk where he 674 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,919 Speaker 1: had like multiple basketballs. It was like an octopus kind 675 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 1: of dunk. That should have been the one that won it, 676 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,800 Speaker 1: but they gave to Blake Griffin. It was all about angles, 677 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 1: like girls holding their phone up above their head. That's right, 678 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,560 Speaker 1: because he didn't really jump over a car, that's true. 679 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,680 Speaker 1: He did not. You're right, Yeah, it's over the front 680 00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:59,440 Speaker 1: of the hood. Yeah. If the car had been parked 681 00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:03,600 Speaker 1: in the land in the painted area facing yeah, jump 682 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 1: the length of the car, Now that's something. Yeah, he 683 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,279 Speaker 1: would have landed on the hood. That would have been 684 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:11,880 Speaker 1: great TV. Yeah, so that's a that's good. As far 685 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 1: as blowback, I mean, there were some people saying, you know, 686 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,239 Speaker 1: what are you doing here? And the NBA people tried 687 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,480 Speaker 1: to spin it. The PR people for the NBA, as 688 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 1: I recall, they were like, well, you know, it's a 689 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:25,600 Speaker 1: it was just a test email. I'm like, bull crap. 690 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 1: Do you think Jordan and his heyday, do you think 691 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,200 Speaker 1: he could have cleared a car like for real as 692 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 1: a car? Yeah? But I just him. I think there 693 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 1: are a bunch of like Dominique Wilkins was an epic 694 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,080 Speaker 1: dunker in his day. I think he could have done it. 695 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 1: Dr j Julius Irving and there's probably a bunch of 696 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:46,719 Speaker 1: other guys right now they could do it.
