WEBVTT - The Fifth Hour: College Sleep & Bleeps Away 0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:01.840 Kubbooms. 0:00:02.680 --> 0:00:05.760 If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes 0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:09.600 a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants 0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:12.880 of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:15.880 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:19.560 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow, it's the clearing 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:23.239 house of hot takes. Break free for something special. The 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:28.800 Fifth Hour with Ben Mallard starts right now. 0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:36.839 In the air everywhere, hanging out in the podcast dojo. 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.600 We are honored to have you as we do this 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:43.440 mindless work. Well it's actually not mindless work when you 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:45.800 think about it's the Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler and 0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:48.920 Danny G. But you already knew that. And my man 0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:51.599 Danny G right there hanging out with me. He's on 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:53.840 with Covino and Rich all week. I do, of course 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:56.680 the Overnight Show, the Ben Maller Show, and Danny. If 0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:59.920 you're new to the podcast, if you weren't listening years ago, 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.960 Danny used to work on the show. He was my 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:06.399 right hand man for several years on the Overnight Show, 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:09.679 and then he moved on. We're with Clay Travis and 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:13.200 all kinds of stuff. When's that Animal Thunderdome coming. Do 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:15.199 we have a date on the Animal Thunderdome. 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:19.640 I got a text from Clay Travis last week. I'm 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.120 sure that'll solve it. Let me see, let me pull 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:24.760 it up on my phone. I'll tell you exactly what 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:28.920 he wrote here. Where are you there? It is? He 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:33.559 sent me a story of an alligator that weighed eight 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:38.120 hundred and two point five pounds and measured fourteen feet 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:44.600 three inches long, longest alligator in Mississippi history captured by hunters. 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:48.320 So he sent that link and he said, we are 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:51.960 close on an extension on my contract so I can 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.960 be able to get rolling on Animal Thunderdome with you. 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:56.120 Nice. 0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:01.240 Yeah, So, I mean, you know that's been i'mgoing for 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.800 a while now. But at least he texted with a 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:06.280 little update last week. Oh that's good. 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:08.800 Speaking of alligators, I talked about this on the Overnight 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:11.880 Show the other night, but I recalled the story out 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:15.320 of Alabama. Did you see the Alabama football team what 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.079 they had for dinner this week? They had it looked 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:21.600 like a four hundred pound gator that they cooked the 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:25.720 entire gator and they were just picking away at the 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:26.760 flesh of the gator. 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:30.240 Yeah. Yeah, it was really. 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:33.720 Disgusting looking like the image was really over the top, 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.400 and and the ironic things they were not. They're not 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.560 playing the Florida Gators today, you know, in the college 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:45.000 football world, they're playing South Florida, which is the Bulls. 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.880 But still they decided the great minds there in Tuscal looser. 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:52.200 They're like, ah, screw it, We'll just have gator and 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:56.200 they cooked the How do you cook that is? Where 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:58.200 do you find an oven that's big enough to put 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:01.840 a full sized gator in? Do you have to barbecue it? 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:02.640 How does that work? 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.960 I don't know what the hell? Does gator taste like? 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.760 I've never had it? Does it taste fishy? I don't know, 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.240 but I guarantee you we have listeners of the Fifth 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.079 Hour based on I've seen the numbers here Danny, where 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:17.280 people are listening, and we have listeners in Gator country. 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:21.200 And I know a guy, our friend, the guy that 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.359 used to be known as Sir scratch Off and now 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:28.640 he's known the Wild Southern whatever. He said, a four 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.200 to six hundred pound gator will cost you between one 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:35.440 thousand and twelve hundred dollars if you want to buy. 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:39.320 One to eat, and the Internet says that gator tastes 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:45.080 like quail with a mildly fishy flavor and is often chewy, 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:46.520 depending on preparation. 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:51.559 I don't know if I want that. That sounds disgusting. 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:55.720 What do you think dinosaurs tastes like? Probably like gators? 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.720 I think of gators. Is I think that's in that's 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.320 a dinosaur. I look at it an alligator. That's a 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:03.600 dinosaur to me. I know they say it's not and 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:08.680 chickens or relatives of dinosaurs, but for my money, I'm 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:11.880 saying that is a damn dinosaur when I see those 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:15.400 things walking around golf courses in South Carolina or Florida. 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:20.880 Same with cortoises. Yeah yeah, man, and those hard shell 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.039 creatures live a long time. They definitely are the last 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.520 dinosaurs left on earth. Yeah. 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.880 So I've got on this podcast. We've got rock a 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:38.039 Bye Baby's Away, Backscratcher, the word of the week, and 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:42.279 time permitting, will have pop Goes the Culture. So we'll 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:45.200 have all of that content for you and we'll get 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:50.760 started with this. So once upon a time like last week, Danny, 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:54.359 Once upon a time like a week ago. It was 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:59.400 last Friday. So my wife had to work overtime. She's 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:01.159 a nine to one operators, so you had to do 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:05.640 an extra shift at the police station. So I had 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:10.000 my gambling buddy. I had the night free of my 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:12.440 my wife, so I had my gambling but she was busy, 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:15.360 so I had my gambling pole. Came over to hang 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.599 out my guy Hunter. And I've known this guy since 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.279 high school. We played football together in high school. We 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:25.760 both have very busy lives, and even though we don't 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:30.359 live that far away from each other, this socializing doesn't 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.960 happen as often as as shit. So had a free knight. 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:38.240 Decided to have the Malard Pizza party from scratch made. 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:42.480 I love the pizza party Danny rip off parmeersan garlic twist. 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:46.000 Oh yeah, just like they have it roundtable, except they'll 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.680 cost you about three dollars instead of twenty dollars. And 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:53.159 then I made the mallard pie, the traditional mallar pie, 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:57.960 garlic onion, bell pepper, thinly sliced onion. It melts in 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.799 your mouth. The garlic ah nice, the bell pepper. Really 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:06.080 a pizza artisan if I pull a muscle patting myself 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:07.080 in the back. But no, this is one of the 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:08.560 few things I make that I think I could like 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:10.440 serve in a restaurant. I think it's not good anyway, 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:15.680 So slaving over the hot stove and everything tasted the 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:19.520 delicious chef's kiss, right, I was very happy Michelin Star meal, 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.640 whatever you want to say. So then after the meal, 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.360 I was kind of hanging out, you know, talking about life, 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.560 how we're going to solve all of life's problems. Then 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:31.520 we were like, well, we can't really solve that problem, 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:35.800 screw it, and had a piece of celebratory cake. I 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:39.159 sent out a photo on Instagram and I think I 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:42.799 put it on Facebook also where the wife to celebrate 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:48.680 the TV thing, decided let them eat cake, right, let 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:51.760 them eat cake, And so she bought this big cake, 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:53.800 which my favorite cake was like a Smurf cake. It's 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:57.960 got like thick frosting and this like blue cake. 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:01.000 It's really good. Yeah, saw the photos. 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.520 Yeah it's pretty. So so we had a piece of 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:06.440 the cake. So then we're just hanging out. My buddy 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.200 was trying to sober up, to be honest with it, 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.920 because he had had a bunch of alcohol and I 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.440 did not. By the way, I did not, you know, 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:18.160 I got to keep my lean television body. He was 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:19.920 trying to sober up. We were sitting on the sofa, 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.200 you know, chatting again, you know, telling old stories, old 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.920 war stories, back in my day and my day is 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.800 his day because we were the same age. So this 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.280 is the part of the story where things started to 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.000 go hey wire, dating like, this is the part where 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:36.840 things went a little crazy. So my buddy, we're talking 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:42.520 about college football because he's got a sibling that works 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:47.400 at a major college football program, like a top ten 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:51.960 college football program. His sister is a big deal in 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:55.119 that world, actually works for one of us, Nick Saban 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:58.000 would say, one of the organizations. So he knows a 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.080 lot of crap, and he knows I won't repeat it 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.560 because I hardly ever talk about college football, but he 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.680 hears everything. So that's kind of like a safe zone, Danny, 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:08.920 because you know, you work with me a long time. 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:11.440 College football just doesn't usually come up that much on 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:15.920 the show unless it's Deon Sanders or Nick Saban. It doesn't. 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.679 It doesn't move your needle very often. 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:21.680 And I pointed out people get upset. I get emails 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:25.400 from people from time to time who live in the South, 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:29.360 let's say Southern Fried football or in the Midwest where 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.720 the Big Ten is mostly and they'll be like, well, 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:33.719 you really need to talk more about collegeball. And I've 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:37.880 always pointed out if the show was on a different schedule, 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.000 we would absolutely do it. But during football season the 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:46.160 show we come on Sunday night in the West, right 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:49.319 after the NFL games, like the late Sunday night NBC 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:51.480 game ends, and then week come on a couple hours 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:53.720 after that hour and a half after that that game, 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:56.960 depending on the schedule, sometimes whatever, it's within a couple 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.559 hours of the Sunday night football game inning, so that's 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:01.840 a fresh story. It's always the biggest game of the week, 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.400 and so we start running rhymes about that and whatever 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.880 else happened in the NFL that day, and we don't 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:11.120 talk about college football. And then on Monday night, you think, well, 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.040 maybe you talk college football on Monday night and the 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:17.280 Tuesday no, No, because we have a Monday night game 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.360 to talk about. So we talk about the Monday night game, 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:20.480 and that's how. 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:20.880 We do it. 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:26.040 So we do that, and then Tuesday, usually it's still 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:30.520 fallout from Monday night. Wednesday, we start looking ahead to 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.240 Thursday's NFL come. 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.760 Well, surely on Thursday night into Friday morning. You talk 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:37.320 about college. 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:40.440 No, because we have a Thursday night NFL game to 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:45.920 talk about it. Just see the problem here, You understand 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:49.800 the problem. So there has to be a tremendously wonderful 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:53.760 scandal for us to get into college football. Now. Fortunately 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:58.000 we've had Dion Sanders who wants to rip the head 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:01.640 off every other coach that he plays because of some 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:06.240 great injustice. The coach said, disrespect and all that, and 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:10.240 Dion able to work his magic the other coach makes it. 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.680 Parsonal, Yeah, how let. 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:17.800 Me ask you this, Danny, how long can that stick 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.880 last for Dion? At some point? Isn't that not going 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:22.760 to work? When you when you get to week seven 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:24.480 or eight of the coma, I. 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:28.079 Think it has legs to carry him to his next job. 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:31.840 You want to take a bet on where his next 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:32.600 job will be? 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:38.280 What do you think next gig for gig? I'm gonna 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:43.120 say it is going to be a team that drafts 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:44.199 Caleb Williams. 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:50.400 Yeah, I had said, as a distant relative of Nostradamus 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:55.160 and friend of Nosterdenis, I had said the Atlanta Falcons. 0:10:55.600 --> 0:11:00.880 I tossed that out. I don't think the Cowboys. I 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.320 don't think Jerry Jones would go down that road, even 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:07.920 though that would be amazing fodder for those of us 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:11.480 that are in the sports media world. And then you 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.040 look around. You got to look at the Southeastern Conference 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.440 because that's the top of college football. So at anybody 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:22.040 who's about to get whacked. Jed who fled the knucklehead 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:25.960 Jed who fled from Florida. He actually had. I thought 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:29.400 a pretty good line that even though he was probably 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.360 higher than a kite, I think he's onto something. He 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:38.800 mentioned Texas A and m as possibility. 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:42.600 That's not mad. But I could definitely see Dion taking 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:47.360 his talent to the NFL. Would his style of coaching 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:50.199 work in the National Football League? 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.440 It's like short term, but he'd probably wear out as 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:57.400 welcome right, because a lot of the guys, like the players, 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:00.040 don't want to deal with the bull crap in the 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.240 in the NFL. I don't want anything to do with that. 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:05.640 And I was like, eh, but it might if he 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:10.360 gets a young team and he hasn't played in so long. 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:14.640 It's like the players in college they know of Dion Sanders, 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:19.520 but it's not like they watched him play. And the 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.400 guys even in the NFL. Dion played so long ago 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.679 that the guys in the NFL who were the younger guys, 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.680 they were like five or six maybe the last time 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:32.640 Dion Sanders was playing in the NFL. But the Texas 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:34.959 A and m row with Jimbo Fisher not exactly like 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:38.640 in the World on Fire, I could see that. I 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:41.720 can see that happening, though. That would be the mother 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:46.200 of all payouts. Does this count as college football talk. 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:47.880 By the way, Danny, it sure does. 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:50.640 I got distracted. I was telling a story. 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:54.840 You were talking about how you don't cover college football, 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:58.280 and then now you covered college football. 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:02.400 Did about ten minutes on college well, but no, back 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:06.480 to the story. Sorry, but you carry away. It's a podcast. 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:06.920 What do you want? 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:10.720 So my buddy's telling me stuff about college football because 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:13.400 that's a world he's familiar with and he's got relative 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:13.719 in it. 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:15.199 And so I'm listing. 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:19.200 And I don't remember much more than that, because next 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:24.559 thing I know, it's rock by Baby in the tree top. 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.720 When the wind blows, the cradle will rock. 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:31.160 You know that whole thing. You sing that to. 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:32.840 Your son, by the way, you got to sing nursery 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:34.640 rhymes and those little those little things. 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.640 Man, Yeah, I sing that, and then I pretend like 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:42.600 he's falling down to the floor. Nice, you gotta I 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:47.120 bump his head on the carpet softly, but he laughs. 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:48.080 He thinks it's funny. 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:51.800 Yeah, I have I have fun like hush, little baby 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:55.720 and all that. I remember my mom. I hardly have 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.320 any memories when I was really little, but I hear 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:01.120 those songs and I in my head, I'm like my mom. 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:03.360 I remember my mom reading those songs to me when 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:06.439 I was a little baby. So we'll get to the point, please. 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:10.960 So I fell asleep while my friend was talking to me, 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:13.440 tell me some college football story. I was so zonked 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.480 from staying up twenty five hours last week. I actually 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:19.080 over twenty five hours to do the TV thing, the 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:22.480 radio thing and all that. It finally caught up to me. 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:26.480 I completely zonked. I it was like I had NARPLELEPSI. 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:33.560 I passed out and uh yeah. So that my friend left. 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:34.360 My buddy like. 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:36.480 Left, well, I fell asleep on the seb He just 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:40.480 took off. He said, I had to go. That was 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:41.880 and I won't. 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:43.880 You weren't a good thing. You weren't on a date. 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.640 I know, I woke up and I was like, wait 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:47.040 a minute. 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.800 I was like, what happened? You know, like crap. 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:54.640 I was like half awake, half asleep. You know, you're bedraggled, 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:57.960 You're not sure what's going on. And then on Saturday 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.640 last week, my my wife had me at you know, 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:03.880 because part of the marriage dealing, you know this Danny 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:08.000 is when you're married, you're the plus one. When the 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.080 wife goes to a party, you're the plus one. 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:10.600 You gotta go. 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:15.080 And so I got taken to a work party and 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:19.080 I was in total zombie mode. Still I think I 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:23.000 had I barely recovered now, so I'm in zombie mode, 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:27.720 unable to function properly throughout the day and night, in 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:29.080 a general malaise. 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:31.640 And this is kind of eh. 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:35.239 It's like being hungover, but I didn't even have alcohols, 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:39.760 just sleep lack of sleep. And then this, you know, 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:42.359 this whole thing has been wonderful, it's been a vortex 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:45.800 of goodness, but my sleep schedule is completely effed up. 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:49.320 So anyway, that's the whole point. I rock a bye baby. 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:52.920 I fell asleep while my friend was telling me a 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:57.800 college football story, and that was that, and it was 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:01.800 just was away Danny for for him and for you apparently. 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:04.840 Yeah. It so very similar to how our college football 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:08.880 talk put people to sleep. Your buddies did the same 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:09.640 thing to you. 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:10.600 That is correct. 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:21.080 Yes, fast asleep, fast asleep. Oh my, oh my gosh. Monday, 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:24.640 for nine to eleven, there was, as you referenced on 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:28.480 yesterday's podcast, there was an iHeart event at the old 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:31.800 Johnny Carson studio. I don't think you've been to that 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:35.240 studio since iHeart took it over, have you? I have not. No. 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:37.160 I used to go by there quite a bit when 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.680 Jay Leno, and you know, that was years ago when 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:41.400 he had the Tonight show and I was around there. 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:41.960 But no, I have not. 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:43.040 I didn't. 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:45.360 I knew they took it over, but I didn't really 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:47.240 know what they had done with it. So how is 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:47.880 it over there? 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:52.360 It's very cool. They've built it into a small TV 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:58.600 studio for live performances. So anytime a big music star 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:02.280 has an album that's being released or an event that 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:06.000 they want to throw, iHeart will hold it there with 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:10.600 their TV cameras and an iHeart host. Usually, you know, 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.840 one of their big boys will come out, Like if 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:17.639 it's a country show, it'll be Bobby Bones. They're interviewing 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.600 the artist, and what they do is like a mini 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:24.360 concert for one hour. They will air it on all 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:28.640 of Iheart's channels and their YouTube channel, and they'll broadcast 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:31.880 it live across the world. And they have a small 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:36.960 audience in there of clients, VIP and iHeart employees, so 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:39.280 it only holds, as you know, a couple hundred people 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:40.520 in there. Yeah. 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.119 Yeah, it's not very big at all. Yeah, And so 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.040 you were did you you got you went to this 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:46.360 where you were able to attend this thing? 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:50.960 Is that? Yeah, big country and rock superstar Jelly Roll 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:56.040 from Tennessee was performing. He flew and he's been opening 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:59.800 for that big country star Eric Church. He took a 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:03.320 break off that tour to fly into LA for the 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:07.359 nine to eleven tribute show that iHeart wanted him to 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:11.960 do for wounded warriors and some other organizations, some other 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:16.760 charities for soldiers, which was really cool of him. Get 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:22.159 to the Burbank studios there and it's Monday night football 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:27.400 Jets and as you know the debut of one Aaron Rodgers. 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:31.879 It's broke. It's broke. Our oldest went along with me 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:34.760 to the show because he's a big country music fan, 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:37.199 kind of like take your kid to work day for 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:40.480 me because our boss was nice enough to let my 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:43.720 kid hang out in the studio as I produced Covino 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:46.560 and Rich on Monday afternoon, hurried up and did the 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:51.960 post production, and as we were walking in to the theater, 0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:56.160 that's when it's broke. It's broke. That's what's when Aaron 0:18:56.240 --> 0:19:00.160 Rodgers got hurt. Oh boy, oh man in the coup 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:03.080 one hundred people in front of the theater waiting to 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:06.600 get in, the whole place was buzzing about Aaron Rodgers 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:09.440 and the Jets. Let you know how even more how 0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:13.479 NFL is king because people were out there for music 0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:16.800 and everybody was talking about Aaron Rodgers in the NFL. 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:21.520 So we get inside the theater. They basically spent millions 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:25.800 of dollars to pimp this place out so that these 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:30.440 star musicians look like stars up on this stage for 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:34.199 when they filmed them. And what's really cool about it 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:37.280 is you're standing right in front of the stage. If 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:40.480 you were a stalker, you literally could reach your hand 0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:44.640 out and grab Jelly Roll's ankle, although that wouldn't end well. 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:48.320 Back in my younger days, I did have a lot 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:51.000 of jelly rolls. I did enjoy a jelly roll. 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:55.600 I did. Yeah, you're not familiar with jelly Roll. You 0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:58.119 can google him and he's got a hit on the 0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:00.399 radio right now called save Me. No. 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:02.840 I actually I have heard of jelly Row. You probably 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:05.200 don't think I have, because you know, I'm not really 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:07.600 up on too much pop culture. But I had heard 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:08.040 of this guy. 0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:12.760 He's got a really good documentary out on Hulu right 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:16.600 now called Save Me. So add that to your list 0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:18.080 of documentaries to watch. 0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:20.920 I do love documentaries. Now, before you go on, I'm 0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:23.040 gonna hit the pause button here, daddy, So before you 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:26.239 go on here, Now, the kid, your son that you 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:29.359 took to the Covino and Ritual. Was he a into 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:33.480 the show? Was he impressed at what you do or see? 0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:36.280 Was he just futzing around on his phone the whole time, 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:37.320 bored out of his mind? 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:40.359 He wasn't on his phone. He had his laptop with 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:45.000 him because he is a new student at KL lou University, 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:49.520 so he was doing some homework. All right, that's cool. Yeah, 0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:52.359 so he was kind of paying attention to what was 0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:54.879 going on. I'd hear him laugh once in a while. 0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:58.560 Then during commercial breaks, he would walk over and kind 0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:00.280 of take a look at what I was doing on 0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:03.879 the computers, and then he would wander back over and 0:21:04.160 --> 0:21:09.320 start working on his on his history page. Again, he 0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:12.760 was half engaged. I would say, gotcha, gotcha. 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:15.679 Yeah, you always just just like when me and you 0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:17.320 would walk into a radio station. 0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:21.280 Oh yeah, so dude, us at that age, well, I 0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:24.040 mean both of us were already in radio at his age, 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:27.359 but back up earlier. If somebody had taken us to 0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:31.800 studios when we were little kids, oh man, it would 0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:33.960 be the same thing as when we went to stadiums 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:35.120 for the first time. 0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:39.560 Yeah, this is amazing, like this is the hallowed ground 0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:42.119 and so cool, so cool. 0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:46.960 So he did. He was pretty impressed with the new studios. 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:49.720 He thought it was really cool. And then of course 0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:52.600 he got to see the iHeart Theater, which he thought 0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:56.000 was really really cool. And now we're standing just a 0:21:56.040 --> 0:21:59.919 few feet away from mister Jelly roll and put on 0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:04.040 a great show. He's got like four or five hits now. 0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:08.560 He did his hits in between talking about first responders 0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:12.600 and what that meant to him after the tragedy and everything. 0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:15.000 And he was a little kid at the time, but 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:19.639 after watching the first responders rush into those buildings, he 0:22:19.800 --> 0:22:24.639 had a whole new appreciation for firefighters and policemen. Obviously 0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:27.040
