Ye Now it's 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:37.639 a child in my youth, those were the games I had, 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:41.160 so for me, that's an iconic sound. That's it is. 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:46.600 It was like Donkey Kong galagha pac Man. You had 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:49.160 some some rich stuff in the video game, in the 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:53.560 world of course Magic versus Bird too, but yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:59.880 there was some classic classic games.

Did you found this somewhere? Did 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.040 you find it or did your wife find it somewhere? Oh? No, 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:26.280 I found it. I I found it, and uh your Batman, 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:32.680 Oh the Cape Crusader making an appearance there. I might 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:34.800 have to edit that out of the podcast in case 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.960 the people upstairs here it. Oh yeah, no, so so 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:43.160 I I uh years ago, when you know those replay machines, 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.880 you might not if you're like a track right, like 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:50.920 it's connected to your board when you're so that became 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:53.480 I remember when that was like new and the person 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.280 on air or the or the engineer could hit sound effects. 0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.760 And we got one of those at Extra Sports eleven 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:03.160 F D L. A and and I the first like 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:05.680 two months all I did after everything, I said, let 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:07.120 me give you a kind of a recap here what 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.560 happened here. Let me see if I can. You can 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:13.360 find it after everything I said, even it didn't matter 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.520 what it was, it was yeah, hey, I I had 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:20.440 a corned beef sandwich for lunch yesterday. Yeah, you know, okay, 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.160 And it was just and the program director Bo Bennett 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:26.360 came in after a couple of weeks during the show, 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.280 I was in the middle of the segment and ripped 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:32.240 the sound effect machine out of my my hands and said, no, 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:35.440 you you're not allowed to have that anymore, and literally 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.520 just unplugged it and ripped it from the wall and 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:42.240 took it away. So that's good. Were you were you 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:44.920 scared of him at all or did you push back? No? 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:46.599 I was scared of Bo because he was a very 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:50.560 small person. Um, but I I also was afraid of 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.039 all program breactors in general because I was convinced that 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.040 they all were out to get me. So I did 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:59.640 not did not spend much time get pushing back. Now, 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:01.400 I I'm at the point I don't really care. But 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:03.840 back then it was it was much different. So on 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.320 this podcast, obviously we just gave you the new thing, 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:10.960 which is so excited. Look, hey, the Minnesota Vikings, whoa 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:19.920 look at that school? Ah, oh, this is doesn't bode 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:22.719 well for me. Oh yeah, it's over for you, man, 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:31.200 it's over. Your your career is now. Yeah, that's it. Uh. 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:35.440 So we we have the injury tent, the glitch, and 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:40.440 whatever else pops up, whatever else pops up on the podcast. Also, 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.039 I will answer a question now. Yesterday I answered a 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.080 couple of questions. I know that the podcast got up 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:49.200 late on Friday, but there were some technical difficulties that 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.920 were beyond our control. So we put that up a 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.920 little bit later. And I did answer the age old 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:59.640 question of whether or not it's the Code of the 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:03.760 wet or the John Wooden Creed because I had a 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.960 guy from from l a here that emailed me, and 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:10.200 he actually emailed me a while ago, not that long ago, 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:13.279 but I I got into that and ranted and raved 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:18.040 about which is which is better? But we begin this podcast. 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.080 I hope you if you missed the Friday podcast because 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.760 it was up late, you can end up you know, 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:24.760 listen to whatever. Listen to it right now if you want. 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:28.280 I don't care. But this podcast, uh, the injury tent. 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:33.480 So I think you would agree with me that my job, 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:39.040 our job is pretty simple, pretty simple, right, I mean, 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:44.120 it's it's talking. Anybody can talk, um, it's not that hard. 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:48.120 So I found a way the other day to injure 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:52.720 myself while preparing for a radio show. And this could 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:58.039 be the answer to some kind of obscure tributa question. 0:06:58.080 --> 0:06:59.840 But I was, I was getting ready for the show, 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:04.040 and I'm pretty much locked in the office here. Not 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:05.800 not that this is a big issue. It's a it's 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.680 a first world problem. But there's a lot of construction 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.360 going on here at the Mallard mansion, and as a 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:15.400 result of the construction, I am pretty limited in where 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.360 I can go. So I hang out in the office 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:18.760 and spend a lot of time here. I don't even 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:20.960 have we don't have TVs in the house. It's it's, 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.000 you know, these are first world things that we don't have. 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.640 So and then it's gonna be like another month at 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:30.400 least until things are somewhat normal. So, but I'm not 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:33.440 paving roads or doing any kind of physical labor like 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:35.080 the people are actually working on the house or doing 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:38.400 some physical labor. But I managed to suffer a knee injury. 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.880 I was prepping for the show the other night, and 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:45.480 I was putting some monologues together, putting some bullet points 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:48.880 together for the monologues. And uh, I had I have 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.480 a chair that rolls, most people do. And then I 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:53.720 rolled away to grab some water and then in my 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:57.800 haste to come back and to get back to my 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:01.400 my position in the desk. Uh I went a little 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:05.280 too fast, I think. Uh, the voice in my head 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:07.800 so like kind of like tiger woods. Uh, turning the 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:09.560 corner there near where you live, west of the four 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:12.000 or five back in then and so I I went 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:17.200 boom and then kaboom, just like that, Uh, kaboom, and 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:19.760 my my leftnee was not my right he was my 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:23.960 left knee went right into the corner of the desk, 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:28.760 and I was just in tremendous pain. But nobody knew. 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:31.800 Nobody knew because I'm in a room by myself. I'm 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.600 far away from everyone else. And uh, I was in real, 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:37.040 real misery. And so what I had done it I 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.200 had jerry rigged the desk because I know you're very 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.200 concerned about how my desk is set up. I have 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:44.480 a corner desk in the studio. Everything set up. It's 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:46.840 a pain in the ass. I've had to rebuild the 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:51.080 studio multiple times since the beginning of this year because 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.679 of moving, and so I've got it just the way 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:55.839 I wanted. And but the desk, I had to take 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:57.880 part of the desk off so I could sit where 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:01.400 I need to sit for the podcast. And in in 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:05.240 doing that, I opened up a corner and I just 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.880 nailed that thing. So I have a nice My knee 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:12.040 is black and blue. It was actually bleeding, Actually had 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:16.480 blood coming out of the of the knee during this 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:19.480 this episode. So it was it was an interesting time. 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.160 But but I believe I will make a full recovery. 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:26.800 And I I did not tell a soul, didn't tell 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.840 the wife. The first people I'm telling are right now 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:35.360 you listening. It's very important information. The Saturday podcast is 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:37.319 really the life of Mallard. That's what people have said. 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:39.160 It's all about things that have happened to me. So 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:43.679 we should get what was the what was the board game? 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:48.439 Was it called? Doctor? Oh? Are you talking about operation? Operation? 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.199 There you go. We should get that. We should golt 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:54.200 a Ben Mallar operation board because we have the gall bladder, 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:59.839 we have a tongue, we have the knee. Um, have 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:03.640 you stepped your tail yet yet? Oh? Yeah, I've had 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:07.520 two issues now you play the game Operation back when 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:09.320 you were when you were a kid, did you play? 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:12.439 I did? I did, But for full disclosure, your pasty 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:15.480 white seal bruised quite easily. Anyway. This isn't really know. 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:18.719 I've always bruised. That's one of my superpowers. And when 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:22.000 I played football, people always felt bad for me because 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:25.440 the after every game, I would come back and my 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.440 arms would be all black and blue from the shoulder 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:32.400 down to the elbow, and people, I can't believe, why 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:34.120 are you playing football? And I'm like, well, it doesn't 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:36.200 it didn't really hurt. I just bruised. You know, you 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:39.079 touched me and I'll bruise. I'm I'm a wallflower when 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:41.480 it comes to that. But the game Operation I played, 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.840 I was very good at the game Operation. As a child, 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.320 I should have been a doctor. But you know the 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:51.120 name of the title Carrie. Don't know its character. I 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.000 don't know if that's the right way to describe it. 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:57.800 But the on the game, the person laying on the 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:01.120 front of the bottom, Okay, I don't know his name, 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:05.680 and I don't know the main character of Monopoli's name either. Yeah, 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:13.200 I know in in Operation it's Cavity Sam they call. Yeah. 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:17.520 I looked that up actually because I I was doing 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:21.000 a monologue about Anthony Davis Lakers and I was like, 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:24.240 this guy's the character from you know, Operation. I was like, 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:26.520 I couldn't and I found his name as Cavity Sam. 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:30.440 But in Operation can he even put can even put 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:32.559 a bone in his mouth? I know you could put 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:34.920 it everywhere else, but I don't even think you could 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:40.600 put a bone in his mouth? Right, Yeah? No, I 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:43.960 I I believe that you can't. I have to look 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:45.400 at the box. I don't have the box right in 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:48.079 front of me, but I think you can put that 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.200 put that in anyway? You know. You bringing him up 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:54.280 as is remarkable because that could be a trivia question 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.800 the next ten years. Name a game character that was 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:03.200 not canceled. Well, is there a reason to cancer? I'm 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:07.840 sure there's something that has got something racist about Kevity Sam. 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:11.600 I'm sure could be a skin color. Yes. Uh, well, 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:15.120 I'm surprised Monopoly is still around because that supports the 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:19.640 aristocrats and the robber Bart capitalism, capitalist of evil, evil 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:23.640 successful and make a lot of money, and super Mario brothers, 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:27.360 you know, stereotyping Italians, that's right, I mean you could 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:33.480 conceivably get rid of everything. The Smurfs making fun of 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:38.400 a poor community, you know, yeah, exactly. Uh so you know, 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:40.760 why not just get let's just get rid of everything. 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:44.120 We'll just stare at each other and that is it. 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:49.000 We have a very fragile society and the flakes are 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:52.559 triggered by everything. So we'll just bow down. And the 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.760 what do they say, they professionally offended class, right, the 0:12:56.040 --> 0:13:01.640 offended professional grifters. Yes. Every think of today though, is 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:06.120 that people when they are almost victims and not victims, 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:09.559 get upset when they're not victims. And this is something 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:11.559 that has changed in my lifetime because when I was 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:13.640 a kid, you didn't you you didn't want to be 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:16.920 a victim. You know, he was like, I'm glad, I'm lucky. 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:20.160 I'm not a victim. Nobody's taking advantage of Now It's like, 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:24.079 oh man. The best example of that is the Colorado 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:27.120 Rocky story from a couple of weeks ago. Remember that 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.920 one where the fan, the fan behind on plate was 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:35.000 screaming dinger with a d right. I got picked up 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:38.440 on the microphone behind on plate. And of course social 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:42.600 media always going to the worst possible place, uh said 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.160 that this guy screamed out the N word, and then 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.200 they went back and they realized he was just screaming 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.600 out for the Rockies mascot to come over to him. 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.840 But the guy on the Marlins, I forget the guy's name, 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:56.000 but the guy in the Marlins who was interviewed, um, 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:59.280 remember he went on and on. It's like, uh, I 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:01.520 heard it. He felt like he was the victim. He 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.040 really wanted to be the victim. Like I remember watching 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:05.840 his comments and I was like, wow, this guy really 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:07.960 is upset. He's not the victim. You know, it could 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:11.120 be like that scenario where you're you're playing on Miami's defense, right, Like, 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.600 you know, Miami gets a turnover, they get the turnover chain, 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:15.360 and so all of a sudden you have something that 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:17.320 comes to prevalent and you're like, I got the virtue 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:19.560 signal and chain, right like I got the gold like 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:24.000 I got something to put around my neck. Yeah, no, exactly. 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:27.160 It's just it's it's not the Potters have that too, 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:28.680 right the when they hit a hold on they have 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.600 the SD chain that they put it. Good for the 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:36.400 nationally naturally West third place standings, Yeah yeah, yeah, Oh 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:38.760 they were great. They were the best team in baseball 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.880 for like we're even in first place. I feel like 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:45.480 the Giants have been in first place in baseball. I 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:47.120 think San Diego was like in first place for a 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:49.600 couple of weeks, then the Dodgers and then San Francisco 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:51.640 took him over at the tail end of the middle 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:55.040 of April, and then the Dodgers an hour obviously in 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.960 a dogy with this weekend series, do we need to 0:14:57.960 --> 0:14:59.760 do a wellness check? In my friend hacks All, there 0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:03.960 is cardiac arrest because the padres a falling apart and 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:07.080 heart stop it in Mission Valley when it's not Mission 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:08.840 Valley anymore. See that's a day to day because the 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:11.160 Potters used to play Mission Valley, but now now it's 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:16.240 down downtwass slap? Do you call it gas slap or downtown? Uh? Well, 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:18.680 I always think of it at downtown. I know everyone's 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:20.320 just gas lamp because all the bars and all that 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:23.040 stuff are there. But I always what's just downtown? Just 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:25.320 in downtown. That's why I go to downtown San Diego. 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.400 That's where it is, right, I'll be I'll be down 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:31.720 there tomorrow night. Oh yeah. Then a little San Diego example, 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:34.520 what do you. What are you going down? I'm actually 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.920 going to del morow on closing day? Oh is that 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:41.360 this weekend? Is that Monday? Yeah? Monday, Yeah, Labor Day. 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:43.280 So I gotta go down there for work one day 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:45.120 and then down there I'm Monday to play a little bit. 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:49.200 So I'm gonna make a weekend out of it. Are 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:51.160 you gonna see my guy, Marlin's Man? Are you gonna 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:54.360 check out Marlin's Man, friend of the show. I gotta like, yeah, 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:56.760 but I can't call him marlins Man. Like, what's his 0:15:56.840 --> 0:16:00.440 real name? His name is Lawrence, but I call him 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:04.040 Marlin's Man. When I talked to hey, Marlin's Man, I 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:06.400 don't remember. I often forget his name, his real name, 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:09.080 because to me, he's a superhero. People get very snip 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:12.880 by that. But he's the fans superhero, just like Clipper Darryl. 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:14.880 I call him Clipper Darrell. I don't call him Daryl. 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:17.720 I call him Clipper Daryl. He says that means if 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:20.480 you approach, if you approach Neon Dion, will you call 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:23.000 him Coach Sanders or will you call him Dion Sanders. 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:29.560 I'll call him all he wants to be called coach Prime, Right, Yeah, 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.680 Uh no, I'm bummed out. I guess I don't know 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:34.760 if I told that story here on the podcast. I 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:36.600 don't think I did yesterday. I'm trying to remember. It's 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:39.520 just a haze right now. It's a steeple chase, a 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:42.760 lot of obstacles. But I I had to turn down 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:48.160 marlins Man twice. This one, Yeah, Monday, he was at 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:51.840 the Dodger Braves game and he he texts me in 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:54.640 the afternoon and he's like, hey, I got a ticket 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:56.600 and you know v I p right behind him. PLATE 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:59.520 want you to be my guest. And I couldn't do it, 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:01.640 I think the show because I had to prepare for 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:04.040 the show. And uh, you know when you go with 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.720 Marlin's Man, there's like a cavalcadeo. You know, it's a 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:08.400 big to do. You know, he's like a super people. 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:11.520 Kids want to take pictures with him, he signs autographs, 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:13.320 you know, adults are asking like, what the hell are 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:14.919 you doing to go to all these games? How can 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:17.760 you afford this? Um, So there's a lot going on 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:20.520 and I I couldn't do it because it was it 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:22.520 was I was just not available because to get ready 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:24.040 for the show. Believe it or not, I don't just 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:25.679 roll into the studio. I have to. There's a lot 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.280 of preparation that goes into it. Yeah, and you you 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:30.440 can't roll anymore anyway. You'll bang your knee and cut 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.720 it up and fall it on the ground, and exactly, 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:34.359 I can't. I can't do that. So so anyway, so 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:38.200 that happened. And then it was funny because he Marlin's 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:40.880 Man was texting me during the game. I was watching 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:43.320 the Dodger game. I had it on in the studio, 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:47.800 and Marlin's Man was texting me and he had a Pablo, 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.920 the guy from Channel eleven. Uh, I forget his last name. 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:53.119 Good guy. He's from Miami, so he knows Marlin's Man. 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:55.360 So Marlin's Man is like, hey, this guy came instead 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:58.040 of you. And then they were busting my balls, both 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:01.040 of them, back and forth. Channel eleven here now A obviously. 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:04.280 And then and then on Wednesday, while I woke up, 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:07.760 I I got a bunch of texts like Marlin's Man 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.320 is on a plane flying into l A's like, Hey, 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:11.480 I'm on my way to l A. I want you 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:13.560 to go to the game tonight. And again I had 0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:16.399 to I had to turn him down. So Hopefully he 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:19.040 does not hold the grudge against me, so I we'll 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:21.000 find out. But I did tell him once the playoffs 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:25.480 come around, I will adjust my schedule because in the playoffs, 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:29.240 we we'll talk about a baseball game like a Dodger 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:31.000 playoff game. We'll do a whole thing on it. But 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:33.480 we're not gonna do a whole thing regular season Dodger game. 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:36.680 And it's just not realistic unless unless Kenny Jansen goes 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:38.720 out and ships the bed then we can do that. 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:43.040 Or kersha, Yeah, well, kersha, he's like a rumor. He 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:45.359 hadn't when's the last time Kershaw told the rubber It's 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:48.359 been a while, right, maybe like, yeah, it's been forever 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:53.200 mayor early June. He's been out forever. Kershaw's season is, uh, 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:56.280 it's not so good, right, Who could have predicted to 0:18:56.440 --> 0:19:00.439 pay him that contract? And yeah, he couldn't see that one, right. 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:02.960 I just have so much money. I don't think they care, 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:06.720 you know, hatting that luxury tax that was gonna hurt 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:11.480 a little bit. You can afford it. You can afford it, 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:14.600 and the rest of baseball is like at the dog, 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:18.480 they don't. Yeah, I mean this is going to improve 0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:20.600 the pot. You understand how better the pot, how much 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:23.560 better the podcast is gonna be? Now, No, because now 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:26.240 when we do our mailbag sessions, you're gonna have every Tom, 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:29.000 Dick and Harry asking for you to start playing drops 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:32.080 during you'd like to recommend to drop. Now, these are 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:35.639 my own drops. I don't have the you know, the 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:37.480 drops that we have from the show. These are my 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:40.080 own drops, so I don't have. These are different drops, 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.359 so and I have a limited amount. I'm still putting 0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:55.120 them in. Yeah, it's not good. Look as another as 0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:57.800 a cell phone calling in. That's a cell phone. That's 0:19:57.800 --> 0:20:00.520 like an old school Nokia flip phone. Like they don't 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:04.760 make that more exactly. Yeah, come on, bro, you know, 0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:11.160 give me better than that problem. All right? Moving on 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:16.439 the podcast studio, which hopefully you're hearing this we are 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:19.440 broadcasting from who knows. I have no idea, but the 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:22.199 podcast studio up and ringing the great Jake Warner. The 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:25.359 first he's an answer to a tribute question Jake Warner, 0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:27.600 my former engineer Stay Awake with Jake. I was on 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:31.640 his podcast. We talked about this and Jake said, hey, 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:34.639 you sound internetie. You sound like crap. Can you please 0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:37.280 I can fix that. I know some things to buy. 0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:41.120 So I bought the things and he showed up, put 0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:44.440 everything together home studio, Good to Go, came out, had 0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:49.120 a great visit, set everything up. We chatted very briefly. 0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:53.480 Uh and we uh we we had success. Now that 0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:55.480 there was an issue with the cables, but we we 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:59.040 fixed the cables. I know you're very concerned about that. Uh. 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:01.600 And I have had no idea. I had bought in 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:05.520 stereo cables. I thought stereo was better. But when you're 0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:09.199 recording audio content, mono is the way to go. So 0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:13.600 I learned a valuable audio lesson that winn in doubt 0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:16.840 throw the mono out, that that is the that is 0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:18.880 the way to go. So when they record you doing 0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:21.879 your own videos and the documentary too, they recorded you 0:21:21.920 --> 0:21:26.040 in mono. Yeah did. I didn't ask what they were recording, 0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:29.520 and I just just kept talking and talking and talking 0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:33.560 and talking and talking. Those things are still airing. I 0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:36.440 get email. This could be an evergreen thing. This is great. 0:21:36.520 --> 0:21:41.520 Those evergreen shows are wonderful. That reminds me September the seventh, 0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:45.359 which is a few days from now. Yeah, um, I 0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:49.520 will be making a television debut. Oh is that right, 0:21:49.560 --> 0:21:51.720 are you? Are you going on the Jerry Springer Show? No? 0:21:52.400 --> 0:21:59.040 But American Crime Story season three? Oh it's what do you? 0:21:59.800 --> 0:22:02.880 It's the Bill Clinton impeachment, So I, uh, I play 0:22:02.920 --> 0:22:06.440 a reporter that on? Is that on Netflix? No, it's 0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:09.720 on X Okay, I think Coop was talking about that. 0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:13.240 Maybe not. I feel like I've heard that somewhere, maybe 0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:15.879 it was from you. But it's on FX. Yeah, on 0:22:15.960 --> 0:22:19.280 FX September the seventh, So unless, of course they just 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:24.639 chopped me out. But yeah, I am I'm one of' 0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:27.280
