I am fired up. 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.920 There's some things happened to me the last week that 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:15.440 I did not talk about. Well, one thing I did 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:17.520 talk about on the on the radio show, but something 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:20.600 we'll get to at some point this weekend. Happened that 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:24.160 was one of the craziest things that has taken place, 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.960 that was risky, was all that, and we'll get to 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:31.119 it at some point. But it's it's great to hang 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.720 out and we don't have to worry about any of 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:38.400 the normal nonsense from the from the sports radio. We 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.080 can talk about anything we can. In fact, we will 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:44.360 do later on. We'll do foody fun, we'll have that, 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:46.840 you know, the usual nonsense that we do here on 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:47.440 a Friday. 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:50.240 It's weird though I haven't seen anything going on in 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.040 the world on Facebook or anything. 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:58.920 Everyone's very calm and handling things as adults. And yeah, 0:01:59.200 --> 0:01:59.840 we didn't do it. 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:03.360 I'm a very innocent man. 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.760 Well, every time I see stuff like this, it reminds 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:11.840 me of the quote, which is actually a curse. The 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:16.040 proverb that may you live in interesting times is actually 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.079 you don't want to live in interesting times. You want 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:21.680 to live when things are very boring because you know, 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:23.120 you don't have a lot of change and all that, 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:27.680 but the last twenty years. 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:29.079 Boring and preferably a big savings account. 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:33.560 Yeah yeah, with inflation not a factor. You don't want that, 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.799 you know, want the inflation and all that. But anyway, listen, 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:40.960 we're here, and I've been told by management. I know 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:44.600 in twenty twenty, I was told that we are what 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:47.440 do they tell us, nanny, that we are alternative programming? 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:49.480 Is that what they told I think they told us that, right, 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.679 they told you about an alternative lifestyle. Well, that's true. 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.960 I live in California, so that's obvious. Clearly, just by default, 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:59.919 that is my position. But are you celebrating National Macaroon Day? 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.440 A big day for you, Danny big fan of the macaroon? 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:04.280 Macaroons suck? I am. 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.079 I agree that's a good take. I don't like them, 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.239 and I've been around a few people in my life 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:12.400 that love macaroons. You go to those outdoor malls and 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.120 we have a lot of them here in southern California, 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:19.920 and there's a like a macaroon bakery, and like, what 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:23.480 a waste of a bakery. I just believe that's a 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.680 terrible waste of a bakery. When I was a kid, 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:31.520 my mom would occasionally, you know, stuff macaroons in my 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:34.200 face and I didn't like them. I did not like 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.600 And she wonders, like, you're a fat kid, you should 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.600 love macaroons. But no, Mom, I don't like for some reason, 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:41.320 I just never never got into them. 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.119 You know, I forget which restaurant it was. But they 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:48.320 had macaroons as their dessert choice, and our daughter was like, 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:50.560 I have to have one. I have to have one 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.680 of those. She thought it looked good. Her mom ordered 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:56.440 it for and she takes one bite of it and 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.040 she's like, this is a gross. 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:03.040 Now, if you are someone that cannot handle gluten, I 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:04.840 believe I think I'm right on this dandy that they 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.640 are gluten free. The macaroons are gluten free. But I'm not. 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:13.200 I eat glutens, so so I'm good. Wait a second, 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.920 you don't have a gallbladder. You're not supposed to eat gluten. 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.320 I eat whatever I want. I just don't eat a lie. 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:21.400 I mean I eat like once every other day. That's 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.440 what I've been doing, and only one bite of spicy food. 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:26.919 You can't have an entire plate, No, No, I just 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:28.599 have to be near a toilet. I can eat whatever 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:31.839 I want. I just know that I know that my 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:36.560 body will reject certain things at a rapid rate, and 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.240 so I have to you know, I have to mind that. 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.920 I have to be mindful of that, so I will 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:42.479 I will. 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:42.600 Do that. 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:49.440 On this pod. We've got military like planning, the return 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:55.560 by request of Big Bend's Big Board, now the Great Debate, 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:57.240 we get the word of the week, foody fun, a 0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:58.720 lot of stuff to get to, so we'll probably get 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.800 to like three things, and then we'll be running out 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:03.480 of time for the podcast, because as you know, these 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:07.320 podcasts are supposed to be around around thirty miss. Market 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:12.159 research is indicated around thirty miss. I'm just saying we'll 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:15.359 start with this. I had an audity. This is not 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:19.680 the crazy risky story. This is just an oddity. So 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.400 this goes back to the beginning of the week. And 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.159 if you were listening to the original Recipe podcast, the 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.359 Overnight Show, you heard a little bit about this, but 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:31.800 I wanted to get into greater details. So during the show, Uh, 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.560 normal night, and I'm in studio most of the time 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.520 these days. A couple couple of nights I don't have 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.200 to go in. I do the remote studio. So I'm in. 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:45.080 I'm in studio on Memorial Day into Tuesday, and it's 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:47.640 you know, it's a normal night. It's holiday into a holiday, 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:49.640 A little more traffic, a little more traffic for me 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:53.680 coming to the studio. Whatever, I don't really care, but 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:58.080 I do the opening monologue, do the first hour, get 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:02.440 to hour two, do the monologue, and then later on 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.480 I think it was like the the second second portion 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:10.719 we paused, hit the timeout. So what I like to do, Danny, 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:12.080 because I know having. 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:13.880 Wait, you mean you went to commercials? 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:16.599 Well, I know we don't. We don't do commercial no, no, no, 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.560 we we you know we we have the most important part. 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:23.520 I just fill time around advertising, that's all I I 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:25.880 don't call them commercial. I call him friends, you know. 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.400 So I do my live read whatever. And since we 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:32.159 have a sedentary job, I've seen so many stories about 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:33.480 you know, if you sit, you sit, you're gonna die. 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:33.960 Die, died. 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:37.039 So I want to get my exercise, so I start walking. 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.400 I've been doing this again. I used to do this 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:41.800 all the time. I stopped for a while when I 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.200 was in the remote studio during COVID, so I picked 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.719 it up again. So I got m I'll go londer around. 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.200 I don't walk outside anymore. There's so many derelicts and 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:51.520 you know, somebody to lose. I'm gonna get shanked while 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:52.160 I'm outside. 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.480 Yo, pre COVID, when you did this, it was awesome 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:56.599 because I could play like two three minutes of really 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:57.279 good songs. 0:06:58.000 --> 0:06:59.880 That's a lot. I had it timed out. I knew 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.800 how many times I could walk around the building and 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:04.320 before I needed to get back in. 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.160 There were times where you were lagging though from an 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:08.279 extra few steps. 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:11.160 Well, occasionally the security guard would want to strike up 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:14.880 a conversation, and I had everything timed out methodically, and 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.640 if he came over and wanted to have a little 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:21.160 small talk. And I liked the guy, James, the security 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.680 guards he works in an earlier shift. Now I like 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.320 the guy, but he would throw off my bio rhythm. 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:29.160 If y'all got a crew, you got to have a 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:32.320 fall guy. So anyway, I get to the point. So 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:34.480 it's hour two of the show Monday and the Tuesday, 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:38.640 so Tuesday show. So I'm walking down near the old studio. 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.480 I go out the main studio. I walk down, I 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:43.800 make a right turn, go down a little hall near 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:47.280 the old Casey Kasum studio. Then I make a left. No, 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.440 I make another right, another right, and there's like a 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:54.560 hallway and there's there's glass facing the street and this 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:55.240 is where I walk. 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:56.000 I pace. 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.520 People probably think I'm I'm a lunatic people on a 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:01.480 white coat need to come take me away because I 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:04.880 walk back and forth, back and forth. It's perfect because 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:07.720 we have the Fox Sports radio audios and the speakers 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.360 in the hallway. But the problem is it's on delay 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.080 because people say bad words. So I have to know 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:18.560 like forty seconds ahead of time when I need to 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:20.760 be back. But I'm walking. It's a normal, you know whatever, 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:22.880 normal night. And I look out the window in my 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:27.160 peripheral vision off to my right because I'm walking towards 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:28.880 the vending machine. I look out to the right and 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.800 I see all these cars. I don't normally see that 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:33.640 many cars when I'm walking. I see maybe a couple. 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:34.000 That's it. 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.480 You know, it's late overnight, so I see, I see 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.520 a bunch of cars and like summer parked. And then 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.040 I see a bunch of like I could kind of 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:43.720 make out it's it's nighttime. 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:44.319 It's dark. 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:47.920 I can see the outline the silhouette of people. And 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:52.920 when I say people, I'm talking the mother load, I 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:55.880 mean convoys. It was unbelievable, I mean, what is going on? 0:08:56.720 --> 0:09:00.320 What has happened? And then I took a couple more 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.280 steps because I thought maybe I was imagining in it. 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.319 And then I turned and looked again. I said, oh, 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:10.040 my god. And I looked at the corner of Ventura 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.040 and sepalvaa one of the busiest intersections during the day 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.320 in the Greater Los Angeles area, the beautiful San Fernando Valley, 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:22.559 in the Oaks, shrim and Oaks, and they had they 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.000 had done something I've seen on the internet. I've seen 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:27.320 this on television occasionally. I'd never seen this in person. 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:30.280 I'd never seen this in person. Just meandering down the 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:34.840 Fox Pissarita Hallway, they did a street takeover. They took 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:39.320 over the intersection of Sepulva and Vtura, right in front 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:48.000 of our studio. A bunch of kids they were doing 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:49.240 donuts in their car. 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:53.880 Oh, it looks like the streets of Oakland, California for show. 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:58.400 Oh Danny, it was amazing. So my first move I 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.160 yelled back. I walked back down the hall. I make 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:03.240 a right, and then I make a left and I 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:07.320 yell over to Lorraina and Coop a loop. I say, 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:11.000 straight takeover, straight takeover. I yell it, straight takeover. 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:11.920 You're so hip. 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.400 Yeah, I'm so cool man. I'm not a boomer at all. 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:16.760 So what do you think these two knuckleheads do. They 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.840 both come sprinting out of the out of the studio. 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.640 They are running past me to see what the hullabaloo 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.120 is about. And so here's my favorite part. 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:28.560 Coop on his unicycle and Loraina on or moped. 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:31.040 I haven't seen that much hustle in Coop. We worked 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:32.840 together a while, I've never seen him hustle that much 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.480 other than for food. So he he runs out, and 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:38.360 then and then they're like, oh man, and then uh, 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:39.839 Coop's like, I want to go out and I want 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:42.040 to get a close review, you know, And Lorrain's like okay. 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.040 And then Coop's like, oh, I don't have my key 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:45.520 to get in the billy. So Lorrain is like, I 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:48.040 don't worry, I got mine. We're good. So they both 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.480 go and I you know, I'm I'm the talent Danny. 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:50.599 You know. 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:52.560 I can't risk my life out there, you know for 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:53.520 a donut thing. 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:54.200 I can't do that. 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:56.960 I'm gonna star of the show. Who you know, I 0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:59.680 got to be there. I can't leave my post. I 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:02.360 did out the door, but I didn't, like physically step 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.360 put my whole body out. So Coop runs out he 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:07.719 walks down half a block so we can get a 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:11.240 great view of the intersection, and Loreina's out there. She's 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.440 recording it. But she didn't get that closed, so she's 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:16.360 recording it, and so like this is crazy man. I'm 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.520 standing there. I'm like, wow, this is wild man. They 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:21.920 got this this whole intersection closed and they're doing donuts 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.320 and there's people people out there with their phones. 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:29.600 Tell you they park cars to block off both sides 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:30.200 of the street. 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:32.480 I'll get to that in a second. But here's here's 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:36.680 the funny part of the stories. So again Lorena tells Koop, 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:40.199 don't worry, we got you. So, as you know, Danny, 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:44.200 we have a finite amount of time in between the 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:47.559 different segments that we're talking. Oh boy, it's a network clock. 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:51.480 Lorena realizing, wait a minute, I need to press the 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:55.800 buttons and I'm not at the post, so she starts panicking. 0:11:56.320 --> 0:12:00.640 She runs back in Zoom's past me to get back 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.959 to where she needs to be. Even Eddie, curmudgeon Eddie 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:05.839 walked over to see what was going on. 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:07.160 How about shut up? 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:11.080 But Lorena runs past guess who's guess who's outside still 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:13.360 banging on the door to try. 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:17.400 To get It was cool. 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:22.680 Cooloom you said you'd let me in, would you. 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:28.000 Go, jose canseko won't be hitteo nomo. It was so 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:29.240 it was so great. 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:34.040 So I have to tip my headphones, Danny. It takes 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:38.040 a lot to impress me, it does. I gotta tell you. 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:41.080 These kids, and they look like mostly high school college 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.160 aged kids, you know, they were not. I don't think 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.320 there's any forty or fifty year old people out there 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:49.160 doing this. They were in their twenties and maybe early thirties. 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:53.720 Younger than that, even maybe teenagers. This was military like planning. 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:58.560 It was so impressive. It was like a football team 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.360 preparing for a game plan. Because what they did is 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:05.800 they had every corner an intersection, so you got four 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:11.000 corners of the intersection and each direction they had roughly 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.319 twenty cars on each side, so that's to the mat 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:16.880 twenty forty sixty eighty cars or so, and then maybe 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:19.000 maybe it was more, maybe it was less. It seemed 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:22.319 like it was twenty on each side, and they parked. 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:25.040 The kids all got to the intersection at the same time. 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:30.559 They parked their cars around, blocking the intersection from all directions. 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:32.559 They then get out of their cars, they put it 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.520 in park, they get out to assume the position so 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:37.760 they could have their phone to record for TikTok or 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:38.640 whatever they're recording it for. 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.559 Yeah, we've seen this on Fast and the Furious movies. Yeah. 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:44.120 Yeah, but they left. This is where it's really next 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:48.200 level because it's like a car show. They left a 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:52.360 small sliver of a lane open because they wanted different 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:56.040 cars to come do donuts. So behind where all the 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:59.760 cars were parked like a runway. Yes, it was like 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:03.040 it was like being at fashion Week in Paris Perie. 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.800 They had a little runway where the cars and so 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:09.640 the cars that were doing the doughnuts, the dudes, you know, 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:11.280 they were there. You know they'll probably get all the girls. 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:15.079 They were the ones coming through there, and then they'd rotate. 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:17.920 It was like going to the bull like Dave Roberts 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:19.640 going to the bullpen bringing in a new picture. It 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:23.840 was nuts. I mean it was the planning on this 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:28.760 so impressive. I mean, if you can put this ability 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.760 to something else, you'll be very successful in your life. 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:33.200 I don't know that you can make a lot of 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.760 money doing street takeovers, but if you can use that 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:39.040 level of planning and then my favorite. My other favorite 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.320 part of this is so Coop got locked out briefly, 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.440 people you know, going crazy, great planning. But then I 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.200 came back because we had to go do the show 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:49.440 so I can went back into the show, and we 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:52.720 walked back. I walked back over about maybe fifteen minutes later. 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:56.960 Everyone was gone, but there was one LAPD cop car 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:01.720 that was like it was like circling, like I felt like, Tom, hey, 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:04.440 everyone's gone. Okay, there's nothing left here, They've moved on 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:08.760 to the next intersection. Uh, but it was It was wild. 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:10.760 I'd never seen anything like that in person, and I 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:13.000 guess I don't get out much, and to have it 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:17.240 happen right in front of our building was tremendous. 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:19.160 Yeah. Well, I don't think a lot of people have 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:22.360 seen that away from movies, not in person, because it 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:24.760 would have to happen right in your neighborhood. And obviously 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.800 they find places like in front of our studio to 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:33.120 do these little takeovers. Now, now I wanted to ask you, Yeah, 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:35.280 what was it called we used to have Eddie as 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.760 our cameraman on your show. What was that platform called? 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.680 Do you remember? Oh? Live stream? 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.760 Yeah, yeah, this is gone. It was on it was 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.000 on Twitter. I forget what it was called. Yeah, we 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:50.920 used to do different yeahs that it's gone now. 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:53.920 Yeah, it's a it's a past art form. 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:59.920 I know, ALF right now is yelling at the yeah dummies, 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:03.200 I know more about the show than you do. You're right, Alf, 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:04.080 you do you know more? 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:07.080 Yeah, we jumped that information out of our heads long ago. 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:09.560 Oh, we're very talented sports take artist and as a 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:10.400 sports tag artist, you. 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.040 Have to leave room for your sports take you do. Yeah, exactly, 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:17.120 So we used to do that weekly. Hell, the Tinderoni tips. 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:20.200 We used to live stream that. Uh, too bad that 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:22.360 wasn't around because I would have loved to see that 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:23.640 live during the show. 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:26.200 No, it would have been It would have been great. 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:29.600 But Lorena did get a little video of it. It 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:36.800 wasn't the greatest video, but she got She's fired of it. Anyway, 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.680 it was it was pretty cool. So that was fun 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:44.800 and that led me by request Big Bands Big Board 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:47.720 has returned. Are you ready for Big Bands Big Board? 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.600 So this is like a top ten list? No, No, 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:52.800 we don't do lists. I do not believe in doing list. 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.720 This is Big Bend's Big Board, which is totally different 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:57.720 than a list I would never do a list. When 0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:59.760 you do a list, you become irrelevant, you become part 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:01.280 of a list, and I would never do a list. 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:05.080 I would never do a list. Was it periscope? Is 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:06.320 that what it was? It wasn't. 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:09.280 Yes, Yes, it was periscope, all right. 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:12.719 I guess I'm getting old. It was a delayed reaction, 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:15.160 all right. So this is again not a list big 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:20.119 Ben's Big Board Wildless Nights at the FSR Studios Wildest 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:22.960 Nights at the FSR Studios. Are you ready? Danny is 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:28.200 now honorable mention, but not not part of Big Ben's 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:31.040 big Board Wildest Nights In my twenty plus years at 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:34.080 Fox Sports Radio in beautiful Sherman Oaks, California, at an 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:42.400 old Denny's, So I have homeless urination into tinted window. Now, 0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:46.040 this this outstanding. This has happened multiple times doing the midday show. 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:47.680 I filled and I used to fill in the midday show. 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:50.679 A couple of times it happened. I didn't see it. 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:53.199 One time I did see it. So we have in 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:56.240 the old studio, we have glass that looks out to 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:59.600 the street, but it's tinted, so it kind of looks 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:02.440 like the day it's not. If you're not familiar with 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:04.359 how it works, you think, well, there, it's just a 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:08.440 weird wall. And every once in a while, some homeless 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:11.600 dude would get up. He'd walk behind the bushes and 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:15.919 he would pull out his Twigg and Berry combination and 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:19.560 just piss right on the glass and just show everyone 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:23.359 his junk. And it was wild. But that did not 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:27.480 make the top six Big Ben's Big Board Wireless Nights. 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:29.840 I also did not include what I think is the 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:33.760 official smell of Fox Sports trade. There's two smells. I 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:38.120 associate Fox Sports skunk, yes, the skunk that gets into 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.280 the air conditioning events which are on the roof of 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:44.040 the building, and then Sunday night into Monday, the smell 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:47.840 of rotting food, which is a tradition. But that did 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:49.679 not make the Big board. Did not do it, so 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:55.240 number six, I'm gonna put the street takeover at numbers six. 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:59.600 Numbers six the Memorial Day twenty twenty four, we just 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:01.000 talked to at it, so I don't need to repeat it. 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:03.560 But that was number six, number five on Big Ben's 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:06.720 Big Board. Burn Baby Burn. I think this was before 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:10.359 Danny g got to the company. There was a car 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:15.080 accident that happened right out there on Sepulvida, right next 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:17.879 to the studio. Car on fire right in the middle 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:21.400 Stry and one of our producers, one of our producers, 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:23.080 you know what, I got to put this fire out. 0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:26.760 So he went out and he broke the glass on 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:27.520 the fire expend. 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:29.840 Yes, you've told this story on the podcasts. 0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:33.320 One of my favorite stories about corporate corporate media. So 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:35.680 he breaks the glass, goes out, puts out the fire, 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:40.639 saves the day, and we then get a memo from management. 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:42.760 Now I want to I can tell this story because 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:46.200 a the statue limitations went out and b it's different management. 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:54.359 So the management out. So we get this angry memo 0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:57.840 complaining about how expensive it is to have the fire 0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:02.520 extinguisher reinstalled. And in the Future just can't understand it's 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:07.600 a couple of dollars. We really watch money in the 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:11.960 future just called nine one one. So it was so 0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:13.359 great this. 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:16.760 Guy, instead of getting a hero's welcome, he gets a 0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:17.760 slap on the wrist. 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:22.280 Oh it was so good. So that that is number five, 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:26.479 burn Baby Bird, number four, classic tale of Fox Sports 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:29.399 Radio never gets old. One of the most important people 0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:32.879 in pop culture. I almost killed them. Casey Casem, the 0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:37.640
