Speaker 1: Kabooms.

00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 2: of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

7
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:18,440

19
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:08,839

20
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,280

22
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

23
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: I was talking to a friend of mine. I was

24
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: actually texting a friend of mine. I was like, we

25
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: have had the weirdest collection on this podcast of former

26
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: athletes that have popped up. It's so random, Danny. Over

27
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: the years, now you've been with me a while, but

28
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: over the years we've had, among others, Lenny Dykstra, We've

29
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: had the great Tommy John Omarvis Scale has been out

30
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: of that list. We've had a few other athletes like

31
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: random athletes. And for some reason it must be an

32
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: age thing. I love talking to random old baseball players

33
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: in particular, there's something and basketball players too, but it's

34
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: like going back in time and catching up with some

35
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: of these cats as they are now just out of

36
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: sports and they're just living there lives and all that stuff.

37
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: There's something about that.

38
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 4: Coaches though, need to be Hall of Fame status, like

39
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 4: Tick Vermeil and who else.

40
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: Brian Billick, Brian Billick, Brian Billock, Well, that Billock. That

41
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: was the that was the big one, the Billick one.

42
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: I mean, it's almost like I didn't hear it when

43
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: he was on. It was it was wild. So we

44
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: have this week on or today, I should say it

45
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,600

46
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: of Asco yesterday today on the menu. If we get

47
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: to all this, we might save some of it for

48
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: the Sunday podcast. We'll see it goes. But we have

49
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: the Ninja of the Night, running out of Luck, and

Speaker 1: of Malord, the Life of Danny G and a global

54
00:02:53,800 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: podcast exclusive, I have saved as sordid tale, a hum

55
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: dinger of a story for this podcast. Now. I have

56
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: not told this story on radio. I've not told this

57
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: story anywhere. There's only a few people that know this.

58
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: In fact, Danny G, you do not even know the

59
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: story I'm about to tell. You are completely unaware of

60
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: where we are going right now, and I would like

61
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: you to buckle up, Danny. This is going to be wild.

62
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: It's going to be crazy.

63
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 3: I'm going to have Marcel tweeked this out on the

64
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 3: FSR and count what well.

65
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: Marcel is the guy that broke the Titanic crash story.

66
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: He was ahead of his time. So, as Paul Harvey

67
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: would say, back in the day, you know what the

68
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: news is, but in the next few minutes you're going

69
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: to hear the rest of the story. So this week,

70
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: I did something in my life that I've never done

71
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: before and I hope to never do again. Danny, And

72
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: what is that, you asked, Well, this is the beginning

73
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: of the tale. So we go back to the Sunday night,

74
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: Monday morning overnight show start of the week. Through the show,

75
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: It's early in the morning. I cruise home. I went

76
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: to change into my gym shoes to visit my friend

77
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: named Treadmill. And it was dark. It's late night overnight.

78
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: It was dark. I had driven a long distance. I

79
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,239
Speaker 1: was tired from the FSR Mothership to the north Woods.

80
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: The chair that I normally sit on to change into

81
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: my my my gym stuff right kind of near the

82
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: front door. And you've been over to the house, Danny,

83
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: you kind of know the setup there. So I look

84
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: over to where I normally sit and it's kind of

85
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: dark and all that, and I see there's a couple

86
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: of katanas that have been placed on it, and I'm like, well,

87
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: what's up with that? You know that's where I sit,

88
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: you know. So now, if you're uneducated, I think most

89
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: people know what a katana is, but if you're not

90
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: familiarliar with that. It is a Japanese sword, which it's

91
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: the curved, single edged blade with it's it's got a

92
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: very large grip on it to accommodate two hands, just

93
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: like a ninja, like a Ninja of the night would have.

94
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 3: This, right seeing those on pond Stars.

95
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, exactly. So, so there are two of these

96
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: katanas that are right where I need to be, where

97
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: my big fat ass needs to be so it can

98
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: be a little less fat, and I need to change

99
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: it into my gym class. So okay, so I'm like,

100
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: all right, whatever. You know, most people here call them

101
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: ninja swords. If they don't call them katanas, they call

102
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: ninja ninja swords. So these were placed here, not by

103
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: my wife, but by another member of the household here, Danny,

104
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: you're very familiar with that person who shall be left

105
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: nameless for the purposes of this podcast. To protect the guilty.

106
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: So I grab these katanas, these ninja swords to move

107
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: them so I can sit my ass down to put

108
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: the sneakers on. And somehow, while I was in the

109
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: process of doing this, one of these ninja swords slid

110
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: out of the shield that it was in. Oh no,

111
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: a sheef whatever it's called. So it slid out of

112
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: that sheaf. It then falls down and slices a chunk

113
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: of my right leg. Oh yeah, so mind you there

114
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: is Now it's starting to bleed. I'm like, well, maybe

115
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: it's not that bad. Maybe it was just a grazing blow.

116
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: And it's bleeding there. It starts looking like a crime scene.

117
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: I'm withering in pain, I'm screaming profanity and I ended

118
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: up being driven to the emergency room by my wife

119
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: with a and I end up getting a bunch of

120
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: stitches to patch up my right leg. And yeah, the

121
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: samurai sword came down. It hit right between my knee

122
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: and my foot, closer to my foot, right near the

123
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: right ankle. And I was actually lucky it wasn't worth.

124
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: It's one of those good news bad news things, Danny,

125
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: because the good news is I could have lost a

126
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: toe or part of my foot. I didn't, and I

127
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: needed the stitches. They'll come out, I think ten to

128
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: fourteen days from the time I had them, and I

129
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: never made it to the gym. I hit the pause

130
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: button on that. Now. The bad news is that's the

131
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: good news. The bad news is that I will no longer, Danny,

132
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: be able to continue my career as a catwalk leg model.

133
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: I will not be able to wear the short skirts

134
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: anymore because my leg's pretty chopped up and so, but

135
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: I can still walk. I didn't, you know, it's not

136
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: it could have been much worse. But I ask you, Danny,

137
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: how many people do you think can say they are

138
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: such a big, such a big clutch that they ended

139
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: up basically stabbing themselves with a ninja sword. I didn't

140
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: even missed a show, by the way, I just kept

141
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: doing the shows.

142
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, Warrior.

143
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 4: This reminds me of early on in my radio days.

144
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,239
Speaker 4: We had a, you know, like one of those danger

145
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 4: boys on our morning show. On this particular morning show,

146
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 4: his name was Squid Boy, who he would do all

147
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 4: the dumb stunts on the morning show and he was

148
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 4: the butt of a lot of jokes. He was pretty

149
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 4: pretty funny character on our show. And he came in

150
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 4: one morning and he had ninja stars with him. Not

151
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 4: a bagged lunch, not a pair of headphones. No, he

152
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 4: was carrying ninja stars.

153
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: Justink, justin king.

154
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 4: And when we asked him on the air why he

155
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 4: was carrying those around with him, he said, these are

156
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 4: my practice stars. It was so dead serious, and my

157
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 4: co host said, where are you going to practice today

158
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 4: with the hose? And so that's my first question. Why

159
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 4: were their ninja swords sitting there at your house?

160
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: Well, the the wife had had had gotten these for

161
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: the uh, the person we will not name in said

162
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: house here as a gift, and apparently they were taken

163
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: out to to show off. As I understand it, they

164
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: normally are not there due to the resourcefulness of the

165
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: person who put them there.

166
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 4: It's like when we take out our gun collection once

167
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 4: in a while.

168
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 1: You know, you take out your your different uh bullets

169
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: and guns and whatnot and show them up. So, so yeah,

170
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: they were That's why they were there. And I go

171
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: into the emergency room and they they you know, you

172
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: go in there and they're like, what are you here for?

173
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: What happened?

174
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 3: You know?

175
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: And wait, you dropped a ninja sword and it stabbed

176
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: you in the leg, Like what are you talking to me?

177
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 3: That's a good story.

178
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 4: And by the way, I looked it up and the

179
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 4: sword sheath is called a scabbard.

180
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 3: A scabbard, you're going to have a scabbard all right?

181
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well I told my wife, I said, I am

182
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: never touching the katana again. That was the last time

183
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: I touched the katana. Uh that is it. And I

184
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: guess there's an art to picking up these things. And

185
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: whatever I did, I don't even really know what I did.

186
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: I must have picked them up the wrong way. This

187
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: thing came sliding out and bam, slice slice baby.

188
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 4: Oh you're lucky. Is it sharp enough to where it

189
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 4: could have sliced your foot off?

190
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 3: Well, I don't.

191
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was that sharp. I don't deal

192
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: with these things. I know they've been in the house

193
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: for a while, but I didn't really mess around with

194
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: them because it's not my thing. You know. I was

195
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: told by my mom not to play with swords when

196
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: I was when I was a kid, so I just

197
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 1: like stayed away room. You know, I'm around butter knife, Danny.

198
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 1: I'm a little paranoid. I cook a lot now, I'm

199
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 1: like to cook and the I cook a lot of

200
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: the meals on the weekends and stuff, and uh so, yeah,

201
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: I get. But I didn't run out of luck, Danny,

202
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: because I did end up. I'm gonna be fine. I

203
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: have a thing on my leg and all that. And

204
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: my wife was giving me a hard time because I

205
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: still drove into the studio and She's like, you don't

206
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 1: have to you get the ultimate trump card to get

207
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: out of work. You got you know, you stab.

208
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 4: Yourself with the imagine our boss reading that text message.

209
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, Scott, I can't I can't come in tonight

210
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: because uh I got stabbed by a katana uh in

211
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: the middle of the night, and uh so I hope

212
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: that never happens again. It was very painful. You know,

213
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: I've not been stabbed. Have you been stabbed before?

214
00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 3: Even?

215
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: I know, it's like it's weirdly because it's stabbing. I

216
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: dropped it. I didn't like poke the knife into me,

217
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: the blade. But it's still wild, crazy man, the pain,

218
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: the agony. But I'm lucky. I didn't run out of

219
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: luck to any other people have run out of luck?

220
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 3: Right? Have you ever played gas Roulette?

221
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 1: I played Roulette. I don't know. Oh okay, okay, wait

222
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: a minute, Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, okay, yeah, oh yeah.

223
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 4: We had the old game of gas roulette where you

224
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 4: are down to twenty miles left for the tank and

225
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 4: the digital readout on your car. You are definitely paying

226
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 4: attention to it, but at the same time you are

227
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 4: risking at all.

228
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 3: You're like, well, I can't go right now.

229
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 4: I'm going to have to go right before work, and

230
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 4: so that's exactly what I did Tuesday morning. Now, as

231
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 4: I'm driving to the gas station, I get a call

232
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 4: from my Wifey, and that's not common as I'm on

233
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,080
Speaker 4: my way to work. So I pick up my phone

234
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 4: and she says, Hey, guess what. It's our lucky day.

235
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 4: There was some clerical mistake at my job with payroll

236
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 4: and they cut me a check for three hundred dollars,

237
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 4: just some error where her boss told her, you know what,

238
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 4: consider it a gift. The check is already cut.

239
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: Wow.

240
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

241
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 4: Although it's funny because fast forward a few days later,

242
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 4: she gets the check seventy nine dollars after all the

243
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 4: taxes were taken out.

244
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: Ah, that sucks.

245
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 3: Such crap.

246
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 4: Welcome to California, ladies and gentlemen. But this is good

247
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 4: to hear because obviously we're watching every dollar right now

248
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 4: as this baby is about to and everything has been expensive,

249
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 4: and obviously the cost of living here where we're at

250
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 4: is insane. I told her, I'm like, man, that's good news.

251
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 4: I'm glad to hear that. I'll see you after work.

252
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 4: So I get up to where the gas station is

253
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 4: I'm making good time. But this gas ben, it's of

254
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 4: course the one that has the best prices, and it's

255
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 4: always the one that has the most cars and is

256
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 4: the busiest. So whenever that happens, I just turn our

257
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 4: left onto the frontage road, take that to another gas

258
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 4: station that's more expensive, right next to the freeway. So

259
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 4: now I'm on this frontage road, not even thinking about

260
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 4: it because I thought I had enough gas. But boy,

261
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 4: was I wrong with our luck that day ran out.

262
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 4: I went from yeah, three hundred dollars to oh shit,

263
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 4: my car is turning off. Oh no, yes, and it

264
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 4: was doing that thing where it starts pulling like it's

265
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 4: looking for the last, you know, morsels of gas. I

266
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 4: got lucky because there was a little spot to pull over.

267
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 3: When I call my wifey and.

268
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 4: She's like yeah, and I said, our luck today just

269
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 4: ran out.

270
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: Slap me around a little bit.

271
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 3: Now I had to think quick Ben.

272
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 4: I'm like okay, and I luckily I had a gas

273
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 4: can in the garage and she knew where it was.

274
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 3: I'm doing the math in my head.

275
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, if she takes this gas can, gets

276
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 4: to that corner gas station and then comes and finds

277
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 4: me on the frontage road. That's at least twenty minutes.

278
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 4: I gotta be to work. I gotta be to the studios,

279
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 4: crossing my fingers. I went from early to late. Now,

280
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 4: poor nine month pregnant wife waddling to the gas station.

281
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 4: And when I say waddling, she's having a hard time

282
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 4: walking right now.

283
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 3: So there's this.

284
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: Big almost at the finish line, right now, almost.

285
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 4: Big pregnant lady at the gas pump, filling up a

286
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 4: gas can as if she's going to go mo a lawn.

287
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 3: It's one hundred and five outside. It is scorching hot.

288
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 4: I'm sitting there and I'm literally sweating bullets because I

289
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 4: can't run the air conditioner obviously from my car. And

290
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 4: so she pulls up finally, Yes, get it, put the

291
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 4: gas in. Now the Covino and Rich show, they were

292
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 4: out on Tuesday. But when I went there to help

293
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 4: Monsey and dan Byer fill in, I walked in Ben

294
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 4: at two three pm, so I was only three minutes behind.

295
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 4: After the whole fiasco.

296
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: Wow, and the kid, your son to be named later

297
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: there would have been great if he had been born

298
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: at the gas station, Danny.

299
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 3: There's a bottom I ready to bring the gas.

300
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: Man if that had happened. But that's great. I've done

301
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: the gas roulette a few times. We've all done it.

302
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: One time, I was in the hills above Pasadena and

303
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: it was late at night. I think it was the weekend,

304
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, like Saturday, and I only had

305
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: a few miles left in the tank. The things flashed

306
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: on the dashboard and I'm cruising down from the top

307
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: there and I ended up going by multiple gas stations

308
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: that were closed. I don't ever remember seeing gas stations

309
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: I had. Gas stations are always open, but in Pasadena,

310
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: up in the hills, there were some gas stations and

311
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: they were completely closed, and I was literally cruising. I

312
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: was trying to time. I was hoping I would time

313
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: the intersections so I could go through all the green

314
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: lights and not have to stop because I wanted to

315
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: keep In this case, there was actually momentum. There's no

316
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: momentum in sports, but there was actually momentum in my

317
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: car rolling down the hill to make it to the bottom,

318
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: because I figured the gas stations that are near the

319
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: freeway the highway would be open, and they were. But

320
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: that's as close as I came to running out of fuel.

321
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: I've not completely run out of fuel.

322
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 4: It bugged me because my initial target that gas station

323
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 4: on the corner that has the best prices. I would

324
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 4: have made it, but instead I tried to go the

325
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 4: route with no people, you know, and that's when you're antisocial.

326
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 4: Sometimes it works against you because whenever I see lines

327
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 4: of cars at a gas station, I'm like, I am

328
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 4: not sitting in a line of cars for gas. I'll

329
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 4: go pay the extra money somewhere where there's no cars.

330
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: Well, I do not pay extra money, but I do

331
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: time it. And I've been pretty lucky. Like I know

332
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: with Costco, the schedule I have, I can get the

333
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: Costco when it opens. The gas station opens at five

334
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: point thirty. They usually open like at five twenty, and

335
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: there's like five people there in the morning, or if

336
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,959
Speaker 1: you go right before they close, you know, almost nobody there.

337
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: But I mean, that's a Costco thing. But as far

338
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: as like the regular gas stations, I try to avoid

339
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: those at all costs. But you know, it is really

340
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 1: hit and miss, and you have a see you work

341
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: during the prime hours, like you're getting gas.

342
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,959
Speaker 4: I was going to say, you luck out because of

343
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 4: those hours, because when I was working on the Clay

344
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 4: Travis show. It was awesome because after his show, you're

345
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 4: you know, people were busy going to work for the

346
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 4: day and I was done. So I was one of

347
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 4: the five people at grocery stores where I could just

348
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 4: walk around and not bump into anybody. There were really

349
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 4: nothing but senior citizens. And I was like, yes, I

350
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 4: love those hours. Now I leave my house at you know,

351
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 4: twelve forty five pm at lunchtime to get to the studios.

352
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 3: So you're right, I'm like, right in the thick of things.

353
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: You're in the middle of the jungle. And when I'm

354
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: out in the wilderness, but there's everyone's sleeping when I'm

355
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: in the wilderness. So the other day I was mining

356
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: my own business this last week and it was Thursday.

357
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: I was getting ready for that night's show, Thursday and Friday,

358
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: per normal, my normal routine, and out of the blue,

359
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: I get a buzz and I look down and like,

360
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, who the hell's bothering me? What do they want?

361
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: Why would someone send me a message? Here? It was

362
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: a text to the bullpen Danny, And all of a sudden,

363
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: I find myself warming up. It was hey, how would

364
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: you like to sit in on the midday show tomorrow

365
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,959
Speaker 1: on AM five seventy. We're looking for somebody. I'm like, well,

366
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's the dates like the night before. I'm like,

367
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: what are you doing? So it turns out Rodney Pete,

368
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: the former Lions quarterback, and I played it USC back

369
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: in the day and he was away, and so Fred

370
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: Rogan wanted to play. And that's that's how that happened.

371
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: So I was told. Originally the Dodgers were playing the Mets,

372
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: and they said there's a big chance for thunderstorms and

373
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: they think the game is going to be rain delayed

374
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: on Friday night, Dodgers and Mets. So if that happens,

375
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: because this is the local station in LA, they would

376
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: They had petrols and money on standby. So that meant

377
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: either the show was going to be one hour with

378
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: Fred the way they told me is probably one hour,

379
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: but it might be it might be the full three

380
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: hour thing, might be the full three hour thing. So

381
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 1: he's gonna be like noon to one or noon to

382
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: three o'clock. So I was like, all right it so

383
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: for this, oh god, no, no, I told him. I said, listen,

384
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: I got I. I would do it. But I can't.

385
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: There's no way I'm gonna drive it. There's no way

386
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: I'm driving. And they said sure. They were like desperate

387
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: to get something. So I said, yeah, sure it would

388
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: and they said okay, and so so I did. I

389
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: did the show from the home studio here local airwaves.

390
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: It was good. It was good to be on talking,

391
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 1: you know, Dodgers. I got to talk to my guy,

392
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: Victor break.

393
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 3: Nice. I'm I'm sad I missed that.

394
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: People have been asked. I get email from people say, oh,

395
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: what are you filling on this station or that station.

396
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: It's like I I always I don't look anymore for

397
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: the filling gigs because I got a good gig, so

398
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: I don't really need it on. My plate's pretty full

399
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: right now. I don't go sniffing around. But if anybody

400
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: reach out to me, I usually do them. If my

401
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: schedule allows it, I'll do it pretty much, you know,

402
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: all the time. I mean, so anyway that we worked out,

403
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: and I don't know m I do it again. I

404
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: haven't done any of those local shows. It's probably been

405
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: five or six years since I popped up over there.

406
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: I think it was twenty I think i'd been twenty seventeen,

407
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: the last time I did stuff the Dodgers and the

408
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: cheating Astros in that whole year. So so that was that.

409
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: And the word is Monday, Nanny. I might be called back.

410
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: I might be called back on Monday. So who knows,

411
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll.

412
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 3: Kick it at old school.

413
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 4: That reminds me of a few years in a row

414
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,199
Speaker 4: where I would leave NBC Sports on the weekend and

415
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 4: you and Looney would be on the air as I

416
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 4: would be driving home.

417
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: All the Fox Sports plitz. Yes, the award winning was

418
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: very popular show. People loved that. We that seven years,

419
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: I think it was Danny seven years we did that

420
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: plush show, which was only supposed to last one season.

421
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: We were like temporarily there, and then there was somebody

422
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: else that was going to come in and do the show,

423
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: and then management liked us, and then seven years later

424
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: they hated the show fire and canceled the show. But

425
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: prior to that, it was pretty very popular and we

426
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: had all those like Fox people on and it was

427
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: great because they hated doing it and we knew they

428
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: hated doing it, some of them, and so it made

429
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: for a very very interesting dynamic there. Joe Buck was kidnapped, yes,

430
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: like Joe Buck. You know, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman

431
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: did not want to talk to Tom Looney and Ben Maller, right,

432
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: they did not want to do that, but they had to.

433
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: They were contractually obligated to do it, and so they

434
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: did it.

435
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 3: He's a thick guy from the waist down.

436
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: And Aaron Andrews and the whole the whole team there,

437
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: they were, they were they were nice enough to call

438
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: in because they had to. But you know, you know

439
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: how you have guests on Danny, and sometimes you know

440
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: they're into it, and sometimes you know they're not in it,

441
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: and you can tell right away whether the person you're

442
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 1: talking to is engaged and really giving you their full

443
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: attention and full effort. And sometimes that happens. And there

444
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: were some of the people that we had on that were.

445
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 3: Absolutely wonderful, like the kid at the World Series.

446
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's that's the worst guest ever. The

447
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: Little League World Series kid from Hawaii who's probably he's

448
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: probably got like three kids now and he is, you know, married.

449
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: The whole thing. Now, as far as the phrase of

450
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: the week, Daddy, the phrase of the week.

451
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 3: The phrase of the week, and Here is.

452
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: The phrase of the week, kid glove treatment. Have you

453
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: ever used the term kid glove treatment?

454
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 4: No, but I've heard you say this on the Live

455
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 4: Overnight Show when you think the media is being too

456
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 4: easy on.

457
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, when they're being soft and you know your old,

458
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: you know, kid glove treatment by the media softball questions

459
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So it turns out not know this,

460
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 1: but the term kid glove treatment does not reference like

461
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: actual children wearing gloves, but it does reference leather gloves,

462
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: like really fine leather gloves, which I did not know

463
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 1: are made from kid skin or kid leather. It's made

464
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: from the hide of a young goat, and a young

465
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: goat is called a kid. Who knew? Did you know that?

466
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 3: I didn't know.

467
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: No.

468
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 4: I just assumed it was like a boxing glove for

469
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 4: a kid.

470
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, So kid leather is supposedly amazingly soft and thin,

471
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 1: and the wearer of kid gloves can handle objects, but

472
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 1: they have to handle them carefully because they don't want

473
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: to scratch or rip the leather. So to handle with

474
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: kid gloves, use the kid glove treatment means to handle

475
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:57,719
Speaker 1: a situation carefully, but it it references a type of

476
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: leather used in a glove, the kid young goat leather

477
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: the hide of a young goat. So that is kid

478
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 1: glove treatment. You live and learn, Danny, I had no idea.

479
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: All these years I've been saying that I had no

480
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: clue what that was all about.

481
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 3: I learned two things every two months on this show.

482
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: You give us a couple of months, you might learn something,

483
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: not something you need to know, not something that will

484
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: improve your life, but just some random thing. Yes, all right,

485
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: So I think we'll say we have some pop culture stuff.

486
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: I think we'll do that on the Sunday podcast. We'll

487
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: go too long on this extravaganza, and we'll have the

488
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: mail bag. We've got a bunch of listener mail from

489
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: random people who have checked in. Oh, as far as

490
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: the backscratch, let me get to the backscratcher. So this

491
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: is where we ask you. We beg of you to

492
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: go to the Apple podcast page podcast dot Apple dot

493
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: com and to post a review of this podcast. Why. Well,

494
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: the reason why is because the people upstairs that prance

495
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: around in the corner office and flaunt the power that

496
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: they have. I love to read the reviews on the

497
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: Apple podcast page. They just be frank with you. But

498
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: not somebody named Frank. I'm just being Frank, so that.

499
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 3: Apples tell me a lot.

500
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 1: My man, oh man, I got to make sure those

501
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: reviews are still coming in. My man is very straightforward.

502
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, help us out. Now, this week, did we

503
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 1: have three reviews, one review or no reviews on the

504
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: backscratcher at the Apple podcast page.

505
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 3: I'm going to say we had one and it was spectacular.

506
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 1: Danny, you are what's known as a cock eyed optimist,

507
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: and you, my friend, are wrong. We had no We

508
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: had a gooseg this week. Danny, we were shot zip

509
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: bo bupkis nothing, which is different.

510
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 3: Why do you even bring the back scratch your up?

511
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 3: Then you should have just ignored it.

512
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: Well that's a good point. I probably should have ignored it.

513
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: But but no, we've done so well, and so I

514
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: want to encourage other people that have not yet taken

515
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: the time out the other minions. I see how many

516
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: people download this podcast we have. The percentage of people

517
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: that have actually written a review is about half of

518
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: one percent of the actual number of regular downloads that

519
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: we get for this podcast. So if we can get

520
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: Danny to five percent, we're at half of one percent

521
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: of the people that download this podcast on a regular basis.

522
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: If we can get to five percent, we will be

523
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: living an amazing life. That's what we need. That's my goal.

524
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: That's why I brought up Backscratcher, and with that we'll

525
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: get out of here. It's Saturday. Anything you want to

526
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: promote Danny anything at all?

527
00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, go into the description on this very podcast and

528
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 4: click on where it says subscribe and write a review,

529
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 4: and then you'll space down a little bit and you'll

530
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 4: see the overall review for the show, which is like

531
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 4: a four point nine and leads the FSR lineup. By

532
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 4: the way, I think we're getting raises for that. You're

533
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 4: going to get a new pool in your backyard there, Ben.

534
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: I'm a mud pool back there right now. It's very nice.

535
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: The animals love it.

536
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 4: Click on write a review and it has you like

537
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 4: create a handle and then you could click five stars

538
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 4: if you think we're worthy, and then write your review.

539
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 3: That's how you do it, man.

540
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 4: So if you're going to bring up the description and

541
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 4: the Apple podcast and leaving a review, I'll tell you

542
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 4: exactly how to do it.

543
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 3: It is Saturday.

544
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 4: Besides this podcast, just going to get some last minute

545
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 4: things done. I have to pack a hospital bag, which

546
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 4: is a scary piece of business. I've never had someone say,

547
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 4: make sure your hospital bag is packed, getting ready to go.

548
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: It's exciting. We're getting close to the big day here.

549
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: How many more days are we look at it? I

550
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: guess it could happen in any moment, right.

551
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 4: Any moment, because we are literally just nine days from

552
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 4: the actual do date.

553
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: Oley, Leo, leo, Leah.

554
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 3: The clunk is ticking.

555
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 4: It could happen at any point, at any gas station,

556
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 4: at any pump.

557
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: Why and you will be serenaded with the sound of

558
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: a child crying. But maybe maybe you'll be your baby

559
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: will be calm and not. I think all babies cry,

560
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: don't they.

561
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,719
Speaker 4: I think there's yeah, a little bit. But you know,

562
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 4: my girl has been to the rodeo before. She knows

563
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 4: how to sue the soul, so I think we'll be okay.

564
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: You can kind of subdue the child a little bit. There.

565
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 4: Little teaspoon of Benadrilla always does the trick. Here you go,

566
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 4: whatever it takes.

567
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: And I'm not doing a damn thing because my leg's

568
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: all screwed up because I dropped a damn ninja sword

569
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: on my legs. So I will be taking it very

570
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: easy today. Not much going on for.

571
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 3: Me, but injury is almost worth it, just so you

572
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 3: could tell the story.

573
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: By the time I repeat this here once I'm healed, Danny,

574
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: I will tell everyone that I survived being stabbed by

575
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: a ninja sword. I will leave out the part where

576
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: I was the one that stabbed myself because I'm a klutz.

577
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: I will leave that out. But by the time I

578
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: tell this, like five years from that, probably like next month.

579
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: When I tell the story, it'll be amazing. Anyway, have

580
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: a great Saturday. Thank you for downloading, and don't forget Sunday.

581
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: We have pop culture and pop goes to the culture

582
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: and the mailbag. We'll talk to you then.

583
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 3: Austa Posta got a murder. I gotta go
