Well, one thing I did 22 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: talk about on the on the radio show, but something 23 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: we'll get to at some point this weekend. Happened that 24 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: was one of the craziest things that has taken place, 25 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 1: that was risky, was all that, and we'll get to 26 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 1: it at some point. But it's it's great to hang 27 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: out and we don't have to worry about any of 28 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: the normal nonsense from the from the sports radio. We 29 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: can talk about anything we can. In fact, we will 30 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: do later on. We'll do foody fun, we'll have that, 31 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: you know, the usual nonsense that we do here on 32 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: a Friday. 33 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 3: It's weird though I haven't seen anything going on in 34 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 3: the world on Facebook or anything. 35 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: Everyone's very calm and handling things as adults. And yeah, 36 00:01:59,200 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: we didn't do it. 37 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 3: I'm a very innocent man. 38 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: Well, every time I see stuff like this, it reminds 39 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: me of the quote, which is actually a curse. The 40 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: proverb that may you live in interesting times is actually 41 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 1: you don't want to live in interesting times. You want 42 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: to live when things are very boring because you know, 43 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: you don't have a lot of change and all that, 44 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: but the last twenty years. 45 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 3: Boring and preferably a big savings account. 46 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, with inflation not a factor. You don't want that, 47 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: you know, want the inflation and all that. But anyway, listen, 48 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: we're here, and I've been told by management. I know 49 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, I was told that we are what 50 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: do they tell us, nanny, that we are alternative programming? 51 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: Is that what they told I think they told us that, right, 52 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,679 Speaker 1: they told you about an alternative lifestyle. Well, that's true. 53 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: I live in California, so that's obvious. Clearly, just by default, 54 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: that is my position. But are you celebrating National Macaroon Day? 55 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: A big day for you, Danny big fan of the macaroon? 56 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 3: Macaroons suck? I am. 57 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: I agree that's a good take. I don't like them, 58 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 1: and I've been around a few people in my life 59 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: that love macaroons. You go to those outdoor malls and 60 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: we have a lot of them here in southern California, 61 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: and there's a like a macaroon bakery, and like, what 62 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: a waste of a bakery. I just believe that's a 63 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: terrible waste of a bakery. When I was a kid, 64 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: my mom would occasionally, you know, stuff macaroons in my 65 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: face and I didn't like them. I did not like 66 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: And she wonders, like, you're a fat kid, you should 67 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: love macaroons. But no, Mom, I don't like for some reason, 68 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: I just never never got into them. 69 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,119 Speaker 3: You know, I forget which restaurant it was. But they 70 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 3: had macaroons as their dessert choice, and our daughter was like, 71 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 3: I have to have one. I have to have one 72 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 3: of those. She thought it looked good. Her mom ordered 73 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 3: it for and she takes one bite of it and 74 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 3: she's like, this is a gross. 75 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: Now, if you are someone that cannot handle gluten, I 76 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: believe I think I'm right on this dandy that they 77 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: are gluten free. The macaroons are gluten free. But I'm not. 78 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 3: I eat glutens, so so I'm good. Wait a second, 79 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 3: you don't have a gallbladder. You're not supposed to eat gluten. 80 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: I eat whatever I want. I just don't eat a lie. 81 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: I mean I eat like once every other day. That's 82 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: what I've been doing, and only one bite of spicy food. 83 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 1: You can't have an entire plate, No, No, I just 84 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: have to be near a toilet. I can eat whatever 85 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: I want. I just know that I know that my 86 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: body will reject certain things at a rapid rate, and 87 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: so I have to you know, I have to mind that. 88 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: I have to be mindful of that, so I will 89 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: I will. 90 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 3: Do that. 91 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: On this pod. We've got military like planning, the return 92 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: by request of Big Bend's Big Board, now the Great Debate, 93 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: we get the word of the week, foody fun, a 94 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: lot of stuff to get to, so we'll probably get 95 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: to like three things, and then we'll be running out 96 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: of time for the podcast, because as you know, these 97 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: podcasts are supposed to be around around thirty miss. Market 98 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: research is indicated around thirty miss. I'm just saying we'll 99 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,359 Speaker 1: start with this. I had an audity. This is not 100 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: the crazy risky story. This is just an oddity. So 101 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: this goes back to the beginning of the week. And 102 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: if you were listening to the original Recipe podcast, the 103 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 1: Overnight Show, you heard a little bit about this, but 104 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: I wanted to get into greater details. So during the show, Uh, 105 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: normal night, and I'm in studio most of the time 106 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: these days. A couple couple of nights I don't have 107 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: to go in. I do the remote studio. So I'm in. 108 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: I'm in studio on Memorial Day into Tuesday, and it's 109 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: you know, it's a normal night. It's holiday into a holiday, 110 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: A little more traffic, a little more traffic for me 111 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: coming to the studio. Whatever, I don't really care, but 112 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: I do the opening monologue, do the first hour, get 113 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: to hour two, do the monologue, and then later on 114 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 1: I think it was like the the second second portion 115 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 1: we paused, hit the timeout. So what I like to do, Danny, 116 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: because I know having. 117 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 3: Wait, you mean you went to commercials? 118 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: Well, I know we don't. We don't do commercial no, no, no, 119 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: we we you know we we have the most important part. 120 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: I just fill time around advertising, that's all I I 121 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: don't call them commercial. I call him friends, you know. 122 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: So I do my live read whatever. And since we 123 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: have a sedentary job, I've seen so many stories about 124 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: you know, if you sit, you sit, you're gonna die. 125 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 3: Die, died. 126 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 1: So I want to get my exercise, so I start walking. 127 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: I've been doing this again. I used to do this 128 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: all the time. I stopped for a while when I 129 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: was in the remote studio during COVID, so I picked 130 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: it up again. So I got m I'll go londer around. 131 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: I don't walk outside anymore. There's so many derelicts and 132 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: you know, somebody to lose. I'm gonna get shanked while 133 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: I'm outside. 134 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 3: Yo, pre COVID, when you did this, it was awesome 135 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 3: because I could play like two three minutes of really 136 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 3: good songs. 137 00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: That's a lot. I had it timed out. I knew 138 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: how many times I could walk around the building and 139 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: before I needed to get back in. 140 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 3: There were times where you were lagging though from an 141 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 3: extra few steps. 142 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: Well, occasionally the security guard would want to strike up 143 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: a conversation, and I had everything timed out methodically, and 144 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: if he came over and wanted to have a little 145 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: small talk. And I liked the guy, James, the security 146 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: guards he works in an earlier shift. Now I like 147 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: the guy, but he would throw off my bio rhythm. 148 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: If y'all got a crew, you got to have a 149 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: fall guy. So anyway, I get to the point. So 150 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: it's hour two of the show Monday and the Tuesday, 151 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: so Tuesday show. So I'm walking down near the old studio. 152 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: I go out the main studio. I walk down, I 153 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: make a right turn, go down a little hall near 154 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: the old Casey Kasum studio. Then I make a left. No, 155 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: I make another right, another right, and there's like a 156 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: hallway and there's there's glass facing the street and this 157 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: is where I walk. 158 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 3: I pace. 159 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: People probably think I'm I'm a lunatic people on a 160 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: white coat need to come take me away because I 161 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: walk back and forth, back and forth. It's perfect because 162 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: we have the Fox Sports radio audios and the speakers 163 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: in the hallway. But the problem is it's on delay 164 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: because people say bad words. So I have to know 165 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: like forty seconds ahead of time when I need to 166 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: be back. But I'm walking. It's a normal, you know whatever, 167 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: normal night. And I look out the window in my 168 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: peripheral vision off to my right because I'm walking towards 169 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: the vending machine. I look out to the right and 170 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: I see all these cars. I don't normally see that 171 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: many cars when I'm walking. I see maybe a couple. 172 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 3: That's it. 173 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: You know, it's late overnight, so I see, I see 174 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: a bunch of cars and like summer parked. And then 175 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: I see a bunch of like I could kind of 176 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: make out it's it's nighttime. 177 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 3: It's dark. 178 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: I can see the outline the silhouette of people. And 179 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: when I say people, I'm talking the mother load, I 180 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: mean convoys. It was unbelievable, I mean, what is going on? 181 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: What has happened? And then I took a couple more 182 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: steps because I thought maybe I was imagining in it. 183 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 1: And then I turned and looked again. I said, oh, 184 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: my god. And I looked at the corner of Ventura 185 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: and sepalvaa one of the busiest intersections during the day 186 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: in the Greater Los Angeles area, the beautiful San Fernando Valley, 187 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 1: in the Oaks, shrim and Oaks, and they had they 188 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: had done something I've seen on the internet. I've seen 189 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: this on television occasionally. I'd never seen this in person. 190 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: I'd never seen this in person. Just meandering down the 191 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: Fox Pissarita Hallway, they did a street takeover. They took 192 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: over the intersection of Sepulva and Vtura, right in front 193 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: of our studio. A bunch of kids they were doing 194 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: donuts in their car. 195 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 3: Oh, it looks like the streets of Oakland, California for show. 196 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: Oh Danny, it was amazing. So my first move I 197 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: yelled back. I walked back down the hall. I make 198 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: a right, and then I make a left and I 199 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: yell over to Lorraina and Coop a loop. I say, 200 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: straight takeover, straight takeover. I yell it, straight takeover. 201 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 3: You're so hip. 202 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm so cool man. I'm not a boomer at all. 203 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: So what do you think these two knuckleheads do. They 204 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: both come sprinting out of the out of the studio. 205 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: They are running past me to see what the hullabaloo 206 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: is about. And so here's my favorite part. 207 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 3: Coop on his unicycle and Loraina on or moped. 208 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: I haven't seen that much hustle in Coop. We worked 209 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: together a while, I've never seen him hustle that much 210 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: other than for food. So he he runs out, and 211 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: then and then they're like, oh man, and then uh, 212 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 1: Coop's like, I want to go out and I want 213 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: to get a close review, you know, And Lorrain's like okay. 214 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: And then Coop's like, oh, I don't have my key 215 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: to get in the billy. So Lorrain is like, I 216 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: don't worry, I got mine. We're good. So they both 217 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: go and I you know, I'm I'm the talent Danny. 218 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:50,599 Speaker 2: You know. 219 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: I can't risk my life out there, you know for 220 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: a donut thing. 221 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 3: I can't do that. 222 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna star of the show. Who you know, I 223 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: got to be there. I can't leave my post. I 224 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: did out the door, but I didn't, like physically step 225 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: put my whole body out. So Coop runs out he 226 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,719 Speaker 1: walks down half a block so we can get a 227 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: great view of the intersection, and Loreina's out there. She's 228 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 1: recording it. But she didn't get that closed, so she's 229 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: recording it, and so like this is crazy man. I'm 230 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: standing there. I'm like, wow, this is wild man. They 231 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: got this this whole intersection closed and they're doing donuts 232 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: and there's people people out there with their phones. 233 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 3: Tell you they park cars to block off both sides 234 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 3: of the street. 235 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: I'll get to that in a second. But here's here's 236 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: the funny part of the stories. So again Lorena tells Koop, 237 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,199 Speaker 1: don't worry, we got you. So, as you know, Danny, 238 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: we have a finite amount of time in between the 239 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 1: different segments that we're talking. Oh boy, it's a network clock. 240 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: Lorena realizing, wait a minute, I need to press the 241 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: buttons and I'm not at the post, so she starts panicking. 242 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: She runs back in Zoom's past me to get back 243 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 1: to where she needs to be. Even Eddie, curmudgeon Eddie 244 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 1: walked over to see what was going on. 245 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 3: How about shut up? 246 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: But Lorena runs past guess who's guess who's outside still 247 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: banging on the door to try. 248 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 3: To get It was cool. 249 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: Cooloom you said you'd let me in, would you. 250 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 3: Go, jose canseko won't be hitteo nomo. It was so 251 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 3: it was so great. 252 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: So I have to tip my headphones, Danny. It takes 253 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: a lot to impress me, it does. I gotta tell you. 254 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: These kids, and they look like mostly high school college 255 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: aged kids, you know, they were not. I don't think 256 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: there's any forty or fifty year old people out there 257 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: doing this. They were in their twenties and maybe early thirties. 258 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: Younger than that, even maybe teenagers. This was military like planning. 259 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: It was so impressive. It was like a football team 260 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: preparing for a game plan. Because what they did is 261 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: they had every corner an intersection, so you got four 262 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: corners of the intersection and each direction they had roughly 263 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 1: twenty cars on each side, so that's to the mat 264 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: twenty forty sixty eighty cars or so, and then maybe 265 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: maybe it was more, maybe it was less. It seemed 266 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 1: like it was twenty on each side, and they parked. 267 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: The kids all got to the intersection at the same time. 268 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 1: They parked their cars around, blocking the intersection from all directions. 269 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: They then get out of their cars, they put it 270 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: in park, they get out to assume the position so 271 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: they could have their phone to record for TikTok or 272 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: whatever they're recording it for. 273 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 3: Yeah, we've seen this on Fast and the Furious movies. Yeah. 274 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, but they left. This is where it's really next 275 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: level because it's like a car show. They left a 276 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: small sliver of a lane open because they wanted different 277 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: cars to come do donuts. So behind where all the 278 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: cars were parked like a runway. Yes, it was like 279 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: it was like being at fashion Week in Paris Perie. 280 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: They had a little runway where the cars and so 281 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: the cars that were doing the doughnuts, the dudes, you know, 282 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: they were there. You know they'll probably get all the girls. 283 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 1: They were the ones coming through there, and then they'd rotate. 284 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: It was like going to the bull like Dave Roberts 285 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: going to the bullpen bringing in a new picture. It 286 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: was nuts. I mean it was the planning on this 287 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: so impressive. I mean, if you can put this ability 288 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: to something else, you'll be very successful in your life. 289 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: I don't know that you can make a lot of 290 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: money doing street takeovers, but if you can use that 291 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: level of planning and then my favorite. My other favorite 292 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: part of this is so Coop got locked out briefly, 293 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: people you know, going crazy, great planning. But then I 294 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: came back because we had to go do the show 295 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: so I can went back into the show, and we 296 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: walked back. I walked back over about maybe fifteen minutes later. 297 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: Everyone was gone, but there was one LAPD cop car 298 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: that was like it was like circling, like I felt like, Tom, hey, 299 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: everyone's gone. Okay, there's nothing left here, They've moved on 300 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: to the next intersection. Uh, but it was It was wild. 301 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: I'd never seen anything like that in person, and I 302 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: guess I don't get out much, and to have it 303 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: happen right in front of our building was tremendous. 304 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, I don't think a lot of people have 305 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 3: seen that away from movies, not in person, because it 306 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 3: would have to happen right in your neighborhood. And obviously 307 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 3: they find places like in front of our studio to 308 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 3: do these little takeovers. Now, now I wanted to ask you, Yeah, 309 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 3: what was it called we used to have Eddie as 310 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 3: our cameraman on your show.

Uh, too bad that 325 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 3: wasn't around because I would have loved to see that 326 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 3: live during the show. 327 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: No, it would have been It would have been great. 328 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: But Lorena did get a little video of it. It 329 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: wasn't the greatest video, but she got She's fired of it. Anyway, 330 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: it was it was pretty cool. So that was fun 331 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: and that led me by request Big Bands Big Board 332 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: has returned.

And then I went and googled 502 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: Henry Hill and it was he was Henry Hill, the 503 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: guy they made Good Fellas about, and he was in 504 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: the FBI Witness Protection program. He was living in our 505 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: neighborhood in lationman Oaks, but looked totally disheveled, and I 506 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: guess he had an alcohol problem. I think he died 507 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 1: from alcohol. Too much alcohol, I believe so, which unfortunately 508 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: a lot of our callers died from. All right, number one? 509 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: Are you ready for number one? On the edge of 510 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 1: my studio chair, what do you think it is, Danny? 511 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: You want to think of guests here? What do you think? 512 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 3: Well? I wrote down helmet man knocks on studio door. 513 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: That was also great in the studio. 514 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 3: I set him up with my headphones at my microphone, 515 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 3: and he famously says this on the air. 516 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: I'm actually on the live air. 517 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 3: Yes, you're on the Yeah. 518 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: What gave it away? Was it the microphone? Was it 519 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: the on air light flashing over your head? What gave 520 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: it away? Is? That is a wonderful, wonderful tale. But 521 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: my number one story I hope to never repeat was 522 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: the night that I was on the air on a 523 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: Sunday night with Jim Daniels. It was a shooting gallery 524 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 1: at FSR. The glass shot out while we were on 525 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: the air, and my my engineer, Jerry, I love him, 526 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: and I said, hey, Jerry, we just got shot at 527 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: called the cops and Jerry might or might not have 528 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: had a warrant out for his arrest, so he said, 529 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 1: he said, pet dude, Yeah, don't worry. And then he 530 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: his decision was to cover, to bring the blinds down 531 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: so at least if they shot again, they wouldn't know 532 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: where they were shooting. And then eventually he called the 533 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,919 Speaker 1: security guard, who then had to call the cops. But 534 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: of course, as you know, Danny, if somebody drives by 535 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: and shoots you, there's really not much the cops can do. 536 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: And I mean unless you have cameras or whatever. And 537 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,719 Speaker 1: I don't know they had cameras, so I think they 538 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: do now. But anyway, that was that was a big 539 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: Ben's Big Board Wildest Nights. 540 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 3: So I have three I wrote down here that didn't 541 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 3: make your list. 542 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 1: Did not make the Big Board or not a list, Danny, 543 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,880 Speaker 1: it's not a goddamn list. 544 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 3: Or not even your honorable mention list. So Rod and 545 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 3: his drunk friend in the studio. 546 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: Oh yes, Rod drove all the way from Bakersfield where 547 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: a buddy of his and we had to have him 548 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: leave because his buddy was raging alcohol. 549 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,120 Speaker 3: Not only was his buddy three sheets to the wind, 550 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 3: he was handling big butcher knives. Yeah, that was fun. 551 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,479 Speaker 3: That was pretty al right. Coop eating Vasoline live on 552 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 3: the air.

But anyway, 567 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: so yeah, this the listener came in. She brought some 568 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: food years ago and very nervous. I get it. You know, 569 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: you're not used to that environment with the microphones and 570 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: it can be a little intimidating. But she then went 571 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: to the bathroom and she came out and she was 572 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: like bouncing off the walls. And we're pretty sure we 573 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: don't know what she did, but. 574 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 3: She would have fit right into nineteen eighties radio. 575 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: All right, yeah, there was one more, one more I 576 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: wrote down here. 577 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 3: It's our show. We were in our last segment. It 578 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 3: had been a really good show and suddenly the fire 579 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 3: alarm system randomly went off. Oh yes, yes, And in fact, 580 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 3: I have an old video. Yeah, I videotaped it, and 581 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 3: you can hear me say, man, our takes were so 582 00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 3: hot early this morning that the fire system has it's 583 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 3: gone off, and we we literally thought that a part 584 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 3: of the building must be on fire, because whenever they 585 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 3: test it or do anything like that, they give us, 586 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 3: you know, notice ahead of time. Nobody said anything. It 587 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 3: just randomly went off that night. 588 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, and we're supposed to evacuate in a timely manner, 589 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: and we didn't know. 590 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 3: We just show must go on, burn, baby burn. We 591 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 3: would all been burnt. You smeal me, I mean you 592 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 3: smeal me mate. 593 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, we'll push back the great debate. But 594 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: I did want to get to the idiom of the week, 595 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: not the word of the week, the idiom of the week. 596 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: Are you ready for the idiom of the week? Idiom 597 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: all the week? 598 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 3: All right? 599 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: Idiom of the week is turn a blind eye. This 600 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: is not regularly used. I use it from time to time. 601 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: You ever used turn a blind eye? You turned a 602 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: blind eye to that, you know that kind of thing? 603 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 3: Heard it? Never used it? 604 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: All right? So the origins on this, it's an old 605 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: idiom expression, and this goes all all the way back 606 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: to the Battle of Copenhagen in eighteen oh one, and 607 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: yet it is still occasionally used to this day. It's 608 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: pretty impressive. So the expression, as the legend goes, was 609 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: a result of a former well back in the famous 610 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: hero of the English Navy, Admiral Horatio Nelson during the 611 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 1: Battle of Copenhagen. The allegation is that he deliberately raised 612 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: his telescope to his blind eye, thus ensuring that he 613 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 1: would not see any signal from the superior giving him 614 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: discretion to withdraw from the battle. So he turn a 615 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: blind eye. Is literally in combat the Battle of Copenhagen. 616 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: To use your blind eye so you do not see 617 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: the orders that you're being given because you don't want 618 00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: to follow said orders during a battle is the idiom 619 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: of the week. There, boom, we'll get out on that. 620 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: Boom boom. We got to other things. We will push 621 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: back on a long weekend ahead. We'll get to tomorrow, 622 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: of course, the first day of June.
