WEBVTT - Billion Dollar Babies 0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:05.480 Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a 0:00:05.480 --> 0:00:09.200 week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.480 of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:15.480 treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:19.600 rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house of 0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:23.439 hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour 0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:32.080 with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere 0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:36.919 as we are starting a brand new Saturday on the 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:40.600 Fifth Hour with Ben Mallard and Danny G. Because four 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:43.839 hours a night or not enough and this podcast now 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:48.080 eight days a week. Well kind of the radio show podcast, 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:50.760 which is a version of a podcast because they they 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:55.440 molded into the podcast format. But here we are. I 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:57.920 know you're very excited about that. Myself, Ben Mallock, the 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:01.680 Great Danny G Radio back from Lost Weight, just Nevada 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:05.759 and here he is. Unbelievable. Yeah, yeah, yeah, what's up, Ben? 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:09.240 I got my NASA snap back hat on and I'm 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:11.880 ready to do some rocket science on this show. Yeah. 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:13.600 I want you to know I'm wearing right now. Do 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:15.080 you know what hat I'm where you can see me 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:19.680 right now? Is that the Philadelphia A's hut, no, no, 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.000 try again. Guest number two, what do you think. Let's 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:27.480 see that is the Antelope Valley ant eaters. There you go, 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:32.880 you got that right. Amazing job, unless unfortunately that is 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:37.480 not correct. But the the answer is this is a 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:43.000 Arkansas razorbacks hat that one of our great podcast listeners 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:46.679 sent in and I I like it. I don't normally 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:49.240 wear hats with a's on them, because I only like 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:53.360 hats with the B for Ben or M for for Mallard. 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:55.880 But this is such a cool hat. It's an exemption. 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:57.720 I got a few hats that I wrote work in 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:01.080 my rotation that don't have the M or BE on them, 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:02.920 but this is one of them. Is a good hat, 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:05.720 very large, a one of the biggest letters I've seen 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:09.919 in a hat. I got it all over me. Anyway, 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:13.840 on this edition of the podcast here the fifth hour, 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:17.600 we first of all want to beg you to please 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:21.639 give a good review, not a bad review, a good 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:27.040 review five stars, five stars. Again, people say, why does 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.400 it matter who the hell reads those things? And I 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:32.720 agree with you. I think a normal person would not 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:34.840 read those things. But you gott understand we have management 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.560 and they have a lot of time on their hands 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:42.400 and so they read those things and it doesn't make 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.000 any sense to me. But again that that's just an 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.000 easy way to help us and do us a solid 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:49.880 and would certainly certainly be great if you could do that. Again, 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.800 that's on the mainly the Apple page, right, Danny, isn't 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.960 that the main one for the podcast review? It is? Yeah, 0:02:56.320 --> 0:03:00.600 that's where you find the review capabilities. Yeah, so please 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.040 say yes no no, you know I said say yes, 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:06.360 not no. If you disagree with something Ben says on 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:10.440 the podcast, feel free to give a two star review. No, no, no, no, 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:14.919 because if you believe that I've said anything incorrect, I mean, 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.160 what's wrong with you? Have you noticed that I love 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:21.840 this toy that I have to access to It's just amazing. No, 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:26.400 I haven't noticed, not at all. Right. Yeah, I did 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.600 add a few more bells and whistles this week to 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:33.320 make it make it more exciting. Yeah. Can you imagine 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:37.520 if you had this available on your live show? Yeah? Well, 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:39.280 I've told I've told the story. Did I think I 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:42.200 told you? Years ago? When I was first started, I worked, 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.240 I started San Diego and I got my first real 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:48.080 talk show. Break was in l A and we had 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:55.600 those the replay machines. Wheah. They were called instant replay machines. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, 0:03:55.640 --> 0:04:00.160 the really expensive old technology compared to now you can 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.400 do everything on your phone now. But I had that 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:08.400 and I, oh, I love that machine so much. Oh 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:12.320 my god, it was awesome. Uh everything, I just hit 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.960 all the buttons after and I hit the rim shot 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.680 after everything, and that was the funniest out. And my 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:21.320 program director, this guy Bo Bennett, came running in. He 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:25.520 was not a fan of my use of the replay machine, 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:27.960 and he literally in the middle of a segment I 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:29.440 was talking. I was on the show with this guy 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:33.520 named David Smith, and they pulled the replay machine out. 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:36.320 He was so upset. There were cables attached to it, 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:39.520 either power and then there was another connected to the board, 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:42.920 the engineering board, and he just ripped that thing out 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.039 and its stormed out of the studio and that was 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:48.680 that was the end of the replay machine for me. 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:50.479 So yeah, this is like a special treat anyway, in 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:53.760 this edition the Saturday podcast, and he has the weekend 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:57.720 and all that there's no football this weekend, waiting Super 0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.520 Bowl weeks coming up, and all about the Oh Bowl, 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:04.040 Like I said, there's no football going on this weekend. 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.320 Uh so, But but we do have we do have 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.719 tales from our lives, tales from what what? What? What 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:14.640 better content than random stories? It's storytime. Everyone loves a 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.880 good story. Then, you know, in advertising these days, the 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:22.400 people who make commercials have determined that the way to 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.600 get people to spend money is to tell a store. 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.880 It's like restaurants. Have you gone to it was the 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:28.719 last time you to a restaurant, Like a chain restaurant. 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.599 They didn't have the story of how the restaurants started, 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.400 and you know that, you know they were poor, and 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:37.599 they know the moms recipe with whatever it might be. 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:41.400 And they all do it because they have market research 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.360 that claims that people love that stuff and it causes 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:48.600 them to go to support whatever that might be. More. Now, 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.040 I'm not saying that you're gonna support this podcast more, 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.960 but we just we we're just here too, schmooz. Right, 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:57.160 So we're doing so on this podcast, We've got dress rehearsal, 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:02.400 the Death Star, these tighter Man meme comes to life, 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:06.840 and ten year old Benny's dream come true. All of 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:11.880 those year old Benny you know exactly. Uh So, I 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.360 wanted to start with this. Now. As you know, Danny, 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.720 I don't get out of the Mallard mansion much anymore, 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:22.120 this being the COVID era of our lives. And I 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.960 do not like the bullshit that you have to go 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:28.040 through to go anywhere, and a lot of red tape. 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:31.080 I can't stand it. Drives me not. I think a 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.640 lot of it is just for show and it doesn't 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.760 accomplish anything. If I believe it accomplished something, I would 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:38.960 be all in on it. I think it's just for, 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:41.640 you know, just for people to say, oh, look at me, 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:45.279 I'm virtue signaling. I can't stand it. So uh you know, 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:46.600 the fact I have to go to a football game 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.040 and show my papers to cover a football game, it 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:53.000 just blows me away. Uh, it's insane to me. I 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:54.480 do appear to be in the minority though, because I 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:56.680 don't think many people are not going to these things. 0:06:56.680 --> 0:07:01.280 But so I had been a staple for like twenty 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:04.799 five plus years of my life at these sporting events, 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.400 and now in this year of my life, last three 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:14.520 years two, it's rare and appropriate. I still go out. 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.320 I'll go to a Dodger playoff game or a RAM game. Everyone, 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:21.040 but it's rare and appropriate. And the the NFC Championship 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.760 game got me to leave my house and I didn't 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:25.200 make it in and we were talking about that on 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:26.560 the podcast and I was like, well, am I gonna go? 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:28.000 And I one the reason I said, am I gonna go? 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:29.760 Not gonna go? Because I was like, well, you know, 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:33.800 the traffic and the the bullshit. But I ended up 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.520 doing it, and I'm glad I did. I went to 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:42.360 Sopi Stadium in the hood in Inglewood. How scared were 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:48.680 you with that interception that was in the Niner players hands? Well, 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.480 you got to complete the play and he didn't complete 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:55.360 the play, So bat job by him. That's that's the difference, right, 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.200 It's just like, yeah, I don't know what his first 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:03.560 name is, but that listen that through the David Tyree catch, great, 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:05.480 great catch people love. I think it was a bull 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:10.840 bull crap catch. But he drops that much different conversation, right, 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:13.960 We're having a much different conversation. Patriots had the perfect 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.040 was that the perfect year? But I don't know if 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:17.680 that was even the perfect year. I think that was 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.320 a different year. But no, we're having a different conversation 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:23.680 about this, and instead of you know, goofing on Brady 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:27.200 for losing to Eli. A couple of times, we're playing 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:30.600 the sad violin, like how did you lose that game? 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.079 It's wrong with you, shame on you anyway. Now, were 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.440 you in the beautiful media box? I was? I was 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.000 so uh and uh you know this, it was a 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:42.959 long weekend. Uh. You know, there's a lot of stuff 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:47.200 going on in that. But world class operation tip of 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:52.240 the microphone to the rams. I mean that is my god. 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:55.640 I was able to get a taste any of the 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.120 super Bowl experience. As you know, the super Bowl is 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.680 only for the cool people. And I'm not a cool 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:02.640 and you know you're part of me. Now you're cool, 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:04.800 but I'm you're with me, so you're not cool. So 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:07.280 uh but the super Bowl for like the media elites, 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.400 you know, the top one percent of media. And most 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.040 of the people that cover the super Bowl don't actually 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.440 go to the game. It's a dirty little secret. They 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:17.520 have to watch on television or they don't. Even a 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:19.400 lot of the radio people that come out and cover 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:23.040 the super Bowl they go back. They don't even stay 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.000 for the game because they don't have access to access 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:27.760 is limit anyway. Uh So it was out there got 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.240 their taste the super Bowl experience that why is that 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.160 not not just because it was the same stadium as 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.920 super Bowl is gonna be next weekend, But the forty 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:40.679 niner RAM game was a preview of coming attractings. What 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:45.280 I mean by that I was told by a source, 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:49.760 shall we say, that the hospitality staff it's so Fi 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:53.400 stadium treated that game like a dress rehearsal, that they 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:56.440 were using that game as a model for what they 0:09:56.480 --> 0:10:00.400 were gonna do in the super Bowl. Which what did 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:02.440 that mean for for me? What does that mean for 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.760 the media? That meant for us freeloading in the media. 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:08.480 We were treated like kings. We were treated like the 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:12.280 one percenters who are actually gonna be at the super Bowl. 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.440 And so it was like a heavyweight boxing match. When 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:17.920 I looked at all the food was let's go, here 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:21.000 we go. I'm gonna box box the food right now, man, 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:24.640 I'm ready to go. There was food in the air everywhere. 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:30.520 They had a pregame meal chicken catch A tory said 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:34.200 that right there was a pasta dish potatoes, veggies that 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.800 wasn't really my jam. I didn't go for that, Danny 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.880 h But they had a candy bar, you know, like 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:44.240 an open candy bar. They had oh my god, Eminem's. 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:48.600 They had the Hershey Bars, both regular and almond. They 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:50.680 had a chocolate side and then the other side. They 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:54.199 had like gummy stuff all right, so sweet and sour. 0:10:56.559 --> 0:11:00.720 I didn't see they had a brownie table of brownies, cookies, 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:04.880 had soda bar. I didn't see any booze. There was water, 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:08.679 bottled water, healthy snacks. They had a salad bar. I 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.160 stayed away from that, Danny. I stayed ten feet. I 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:16.800 was socially distancing from the salad bar. End up. But 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:18.800 I did not I was I was fasting. I did 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:21.040 not actually eat any of the meal, any of the 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:24.760 food before the game. I waited, damn this veteran move. 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:30.240 Veteran move. I waited till halftime. And the reason I 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.360 waited at halftime they had more bend friendly foods at halftime, 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:36.240 so they I'm talking to the third person. They had 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:40.960 more food that was more my jam. At halftime. That's 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:46.040 when they pulled out just ram it many sliders, delicious 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:52.360 little cheeseburgers, uh pepper chicken wings, unfortunately, bone in tater tots, 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:57.520 curly fries, onion rings, and there was some other stuff, 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:00.280 but that's all I focused on nice and so I 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:03.200 hit that hard, just ram it hit. That was a 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:07.880 wonderful corner copia of just deliciousness, and I loved it. 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.559 And again I was told that it's the same set 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:13.160 up they're gonna have Super Bowl. It's not gonna be 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:16.839 any different. And so I got to experience that, and 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:18.679 I'm grateful it was. It was a lot of fun. 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:20.760 So I had a good time out there. And I 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:22.800 have some other stories that will tell later on some 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:27.240 things that happened to me randomly while I was was 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:30.680 out at the the Rams game with the fourtane So 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:33.040 I was I was doing that. You were hanging out 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:36.720 in Lost Wages, Nevada before we get to the desk Star. 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.520 Did you do in a game? No? But my tender 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:45.600 RONI did she win any money? She did, and then 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:48.480 at the end of the trip that got it back. 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:51.640 But she brought three hundred in cash to gamble with. 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:55.120 That was her budget, Okay, So she was like, Okay, 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:59.520 I have three hundred dollars and twenty dollar bills. That's 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:01.800 gonna be what I gamble with at the slot machine. 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:05.080 She loves that wheel of Fortune machine. That's her machine. 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:08.320 That's her jam. My wife likes that Wolf Run. Okay, 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.800 you've seen that one. She thinks that's a lucky machine. 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:15.559 I don't agree with that. But yeah, she sits down 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:18.000 at the wheel of fortune machine and she puts five 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.800 dollar bets at a time. That's a lot. That's a 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:24.200 bet on a slot machine. Yeah, some people do dimes 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:26.960 and pennies and nickels, and nope, she plays five dollars 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:30.960 at a time, Go bigger, go home, okay. And her 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.720 first twenty dollar bill, she turned it into a hundred 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.880 and twenty six bucks. Now the movie, and let me 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:39.160 ask you if she did what I what I would 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.719 advise you hit a hunter your So she's up a 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:45.080 buck twenty right at that point, take the buck twenty, 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:48.800 put it away back three. That's what I would do that, 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:54.040 I said. Okay, cash out, you're out. Yes, Yes, that's 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:57.400 the move, Danny. Cash out. She did. She turned it 0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:00.120 into a ticket, which I posted on my two her 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:04.480 account last weekend. So she carried around that one six 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:08.400 dollar ticket all weekend. But she continued to play the 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:11.560 rest of the cash that she had in her purse. 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:15.200 I couldn't tell what she had one and what she 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:19.360 had lost because she had a combination of tickets and 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:24.280 spare change just moving around from her wallet to her 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:28.000 purse to her pocket. Everything had been joined together as 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.080 everything was in a jumbled I got it. That's the 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:34.600 whole purse. Let me tell the purse in theory. A 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:36.960 great idea, but everything gets all mixed together. You don't 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.000 even know, right, it's it's every Every purse has got 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:42.200 to be like that. Yeah. By the end of the weekend, 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.720 she counted what she had in tickets and it was 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.480 three hundred dollars. So she said, hey, this is good. 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:53.360 I address myself. I'm even right now to her credit. 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:56.040 On the last day we were there, on Sunday, she 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:59.720 won twenty bucks on her way out, so she left up. 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:03.520 Want to eat dollars? That's good, it's not bad. She 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:07.560 basically did all that gambling to win twenty bucks and 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:10.760 get a sore throat from all of the cigarette smoke. 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:13.760 Oh yeah, that's that's that's one of the few places 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:16.440 left the western part of the United States where that 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:19.480 is allowed. Man, what is up with all of the 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:25.680 people smoking cigarettes there and blowing it in your face? Yeah? 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:29.479 I wonder are these people because we live in California, 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:32.440 where you're not really allowed to smoke anywhere. Do these 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.120 people just smoke because they went in Vegas, act like 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:37.920 you're in Vegas? Or do these people actually smoked year round? 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:40.680 I because I don't see a lot of people smoking 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:44.760 anymore because it's been banned everywhere pretty much. Yeah, like 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:46.840 you said, we don't see it anywhere where we live. 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:49.880 And it's funny because she asked me that same question 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:54.160 when we saw a cigar bar and guys were standing 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:56.520 out in front of that blowing all the cigar smoke 0:15:56.560 --> 0:16:00.680 in other people's faces. And that's a step bup of 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:04.760 nasty and um at the Caesar's Palace, that's where that was. 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:08.640 But literally, you walked past somebody and they look at 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:15.800 you and they blow the cigarettes smoke right at your face. Yeah, 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.400 a bunch of assholes, pretty much. And I told her, 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:23.920 I said, no, these are people who supposedly quit smoking cigarettes, 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:26.560 but when they go to Vegas they let it all 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.720 hang out. So there are a smoker again. Yeah, you 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:32.000 fall back, and do you smell anything else there while 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:35.720 you were in Vegas? Yeah? The strip? Yeah, the Strip 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:42.200 smelled like a hundred coups. There was an infestation of 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:46.480 skunks that somehow attacked the Vegas strip. I don't know 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.400 how that is. It's unbelievable. Did you stop and see 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:53.360 the Belage deal fountains Spliff City? Uh No, didn't look 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:57.960 at the fountains. I think we've seen that before. But 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.760 we did get to stay at the Palazzo, which was nice. 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:03.880 That is a good hotel. Yeah, it's a good. Look 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:10.680 at you you're a baller, of course, connected to the Venetian. Basically, 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:14.359 just got to walk around those two properties. Across the 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:17.080 street to Caesar is a little bit. You know. We 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:18.960 were at the baseball field for a lot of the 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:23.280 daytime Saturday and Sunday, so it was more nighttime action 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:26.960 in late afternoon action where we were actually at a casino. 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.159 That's cool. Yeah, I've not been to Vegas, but I'm 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:33.200 supposed to go to Vegas, I think later this month. 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:37.040 I possibly tentatively scheduled the Good to Vegas later in 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:39.840 the month of February, but I haven't been there since 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:43.080 COVID thing. So I went right before COVID and that 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:47.040 was that was that. But this thing never seems to end, 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:49.359 just keeps going on. And on and on. How busy 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:52.600 it was Vegas because a pack it was packed. It 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:57.240 was I would say about of the people there wore masks, 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:02.919 but it's not a choir like in California. It's more like, 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.359 if you want to that is it a rule you 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:07.479 have to wear the mask. Here it seemed like it 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:12.480 was a rule inside but obviously not outside. Okay, yeah, 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:15.399 because it's so far You know the how the the 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:18.400 governor of California keeps mandating mask that wasn't even wearing 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:22.760 a mask. All these these Hollywood a holes who were 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:25.480 telling everyone to wear masks. We're not wearing masks. Saw 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:29.679 that already infamous picture with Magic Johnson. Yeah, that's it was. 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.800 It was ridiculous. But yeah, I can go on and 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:36.880 on that. So you ended up at the Death Star, 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:43.240 the Legendary Raiders Stadium. There um beautiful looks like on television. 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:47.120 Never been there. Did it live up to your expectations? Yeah, 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:51.040 beyond impressive. I kind of knew what to expect going 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:54.359 in because I followed along the whole time it was 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:58.600 being built on YouTube. There was a cool special called 0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:02.320 from the ground Up with Mike Rowe. Oh I gotta 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:05.680 check that. Us on YouTube. Yes, I love Micro. We 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:09.360 gotta try to get Micro on the podcast. Very cool dude. 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:11.439 If you don't know who we're talking about. He's the 0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:15.840 host of the World's Dirtiest Jobs, Dirty Jobs on Discovery. Yeah, 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:18.720 I love love Micro. Dude's got one of the best 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:23.040 narrator of voices in the business. He narrates this series 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:26.120 where they literally from the first shovel in the ground 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:32.600 until they unveil the completed Death Star. He takes you 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:36.680 through the entire process and to watch them spend billions 0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:41.280 of dollars and to see how much technology and everything 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:44.680 goes into this new stadium that they sped up because 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:48.040 they wanted to get it done for that season, which 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:52.119 wound up getting canceled for fans because of COVID. But 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:56.080 this was a five year project that they rushed into 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:59.280 three and a half years, and so to watch them 0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:03.040 works seven been days a week around the clock. Now 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:05.560 to be able to go there in person last weekend 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:08.520 and actually see it with my own eyes and walk 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:12.400 through the hallways and get on the field see all 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:15.960 of the art installations throughout the building. That was the 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:19.200 one thing that stood out to me, the attention to detail. 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:25.880 Ben ridiculous there. I mean, everything precise and perfect and 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:30.639 just a masterpiece. Yeah, that's cool. It does look realize. 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:33.560 So you did the actual stadium tour, right, you did that. 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:35.320 I had a buddy of mine that lives in Vegas 0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:37.440 who said, you gotta do that. It's the coolest thing. 0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:40.200 They take you everywhere and you can get a photo 0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:43.240 and the whole thing, like from I guess from a 0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:44.879 distance they zoom in. I don't know what they do. 0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:49.400 They take you to where our friend Brent Musburger and 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:53.119 Lincoln Kennedy sit during the game. And then they also 0:20:53.240 --> 0:20:57.440 take you to Mark Davis's personal suite that you get 0:20:57.480 --> 0:20:59.400 a view from there. Did they give you the Mark 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:02.600 Davis hair cut? Did they give you that that bowl cut? 0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:05.080 Is that part of the deal? I asked one of 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:07.560 the tour guides if there was a barbershop for Mark 0:21:07.640 --> 0:21:11.199 Davis there, and he just laughed, So I think the 0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:14.119 answer was no. Well, not only that, but the where's 0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:17.000 he Where's is the PF Change he hangs out at? Yeah, 0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:19.640 p F Change is his favorite spot. There's one right 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:23.440 there on the strip, not far from the stadium. Yeah, 0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:25.920 all right, so you made the rounds. What was your 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:28.760 favorite part? Was it the locker room, was the press box? 0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:31.480 Was it just being in the tunnels underneath? Like? What 0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:34.720 was the coolest part? I would have to say the 0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:37.960 Hall of Fame row. They did a great job on that, 0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:44.760 and the raider ats shiny new facility. Hello, he's a 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:49.360 lovely lady in my apologies tour my Tinda Rowning took 0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:52.280 a picture of herself in the mirror there as she 0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:55.800 is my raider at And it's funny because they have 0:21:55.920 --> 0:22:00.399 a tour guide in the front who's doing all the talking. Yeah, yeah, up, 0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:02.639 and then there's just one guy trailing in the back 0:22:03.160 --> 0:22:05.960 whose sole job is to be the caboose of the train. 0:22:07.040 --> 0:22:09.720 And so we were straggling the whole time so we 0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:13.560 could get the better pictures without strangers in the shots. 0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:17.040 He just kept telling us, Oh, it's all good as 0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:19.680 long as I'm the last one. You're good, You're good. 0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:23.320 So they were. Was he also worried somebody was gonna be, 0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:26.800 you know, sneak away and and uh hide out in 0:22:26.840 --> 0:22:28.560 the stadium or something like that. Was that really were 0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:31.760 worried about? Yeah? Probably, um, you know, because he looked 0:22:31.880 --> 0:22:34.920 very nervous. His head was on a swivel inside Mr 0:22:35.000 --> 0:22:38.240 Davis's suite, and I was thinking it was someone gonna 0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:41.440 do like sleeping here until the next game. But once 0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:44.760 we got to where the raidar ats are very cool. 0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:46.840 It was like a raidar At museum. I mean, it 0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:49.560 showed what the raidar ats looked like in the sixties 0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:52.920 and there was it was like a museum of their 0:22:53.200 --> 0:22:56.880 uniforms throughout the seasons. The tour guide in the back 0:22:56.960 --> 0:23:00.520
