Speaker 1: it is national Danny G is National roller Coaster Day today.

17
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: Are you a roller coaster guy? We we've had this

18
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: conversation before. I feel like we've talked about this on.

19
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 3: That Yeah, yeah, yeah, we talked about this just a

20
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 3: couple of weekends ago. I love that one roller coaster

21
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 3: in San Diego.

22
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, yeah, you mentioned SeaWorld rights turned into

23
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 1: a roller coaster place, now, right, that's yeah.

24
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 4: They had people picketing outside their park.

25
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 3: I don't know what was that. Ten fifteen years ago.

26
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 3: People were up in arms when that documentary came out. Remember, yeah,

27
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: Shamou and the others being bent up and mistreated, and

28
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 3: lots of questions about that. And so a couple of

29
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 3: changes SeaWorld made was they were only going to rehabilitate

30
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 3: sea creatures and not you know, just keep them captive

31
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 3: for people's entertainment. Only because of that, they had to

32
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 3: shift gears and go in a different direction. And so

33
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 3: they started adding roller coasters and rides to their park.

34
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 3: And man, they got a couple of really good roller

35
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 3: coasters there.

36
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: That's cool. That's cool. I went to SeaWorld a couple

37
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: times when I was a kid. There were two things

38
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: I remember about my trips to sea World. One, my

39
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: dear old mom was hit in the head with bird

40
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: crap A bird crapped on my mom's head. She was

41
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: very upset by that. Next thing, I know, I just

42
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: saw this white thing flying at my face. It ruined

43
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: the whole day. And then I also remember seeing Shamoo,

44
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: the famous Shamoo who's right up there with Elvis and

45
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: some of the all time legends, and then getting a

46
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: little shamoo stuffy. When I was a kid, I remember

47
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: that at the world that was a big thing for

48
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: good stuffy, right, yeah, yeah, I think I don't know

49
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: who knows? I did learn because it's National roller Coaster

50
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: Day and I have to provide a fun fact for

51
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: alf and ferg Dog and those guys. Do you know

52
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: the first roll the first country to have a roller coaster?

53
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 4: What do you think it was?

54
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: Danny? The first country that, according to documentation, to have

55
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: a roller coaster? What do you they do? Do do?

56
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 3: It's a strange question I ever thought about anything. Yeah, exactly,

57
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 3: It's an odd question.

58
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

59
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: I thought I'm going to thought it was America. I

60
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: thought America.

61
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 4: So my guess was I'm going to say, I'm going

62
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 4: to say the UK?

63
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: The UK? All right? That makes sense a lot of

64
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: things in the UK, right, Yeah, US built by people

65
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: that left the UK and wanted less taxes, so now

66
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: we have all the taxes. No. According to the documented history,

67
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: the first roller coaster appeared in the fifteen hundreds in Russia. Russia. Russia.

68
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: Russian roller coasters were made of wood with icy rams

69
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: on which.

70
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 4: People can have fun for three minutes.

71
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: I get some ghoula, And so that was in the

72
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: fifteen hundreds, but it was like a couple hundred years

73
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: later the history. How about, how about you were a

74
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: historian of the roller coaster? How do you end up

75
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: in that gig Anyway, In the seventeen hundreds in Russia,

76
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: the early roller coasters were such a hit that wheels

77
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: were then added to the carts so people could continue

78
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: to ride during the summer, because they only had them

79
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: during the winter, because it was like a winter thing.

80
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: It was kind of like what we'd call sledding, but

81
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 1: they called it a roller coaster, and so they put

82
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: wheels on them in the seventeen hundreds so people could

83
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: ride even during the summer months, that one month of

84
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: the year where the weather's pretty good. But the real

85
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: golden age of the coaster, the golden age of the

86
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: coaster was the early nineteen hundreds, and really like the

87
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: nineteen teens, the Great Depression in America and Coney Island

88
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn, there were innovations and all kinds of things.

89
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: So I mean, there's a bunch of coasters all over

90
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: the place now, but so there you go Russia, Mother

91
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: Russia and the fifteen hundreds, and then the Great Depression

92
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: led to amazing, amazing fun.

93
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: I think you mentioned in the past that you don't

94
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 3: fit on a lot of the roller coasters, But have

95
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 3: you ever been to Mountain in Valencia, California.

96
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: I have not. I have not spent time at matt

97
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: I've driven by it a bunch. I've not gone because,

98
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: as you said, I don't fit. I don't even fit

99
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: on Space Mountain. I can't imagine going on those. You're

100
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: going north on the five. You go buy Magic Mountain,

101
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: and these things are insane. It's like there are mountains

102
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: of roller coaster but I've never never gone because I

103
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: figured if I can't fit on Space Mountain at Disneyland,

104
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: I'm not going to un stuff at Magic Mountain.

105
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's still open. It might it

106
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 3: might be closed unless they renovated it. But it was

107
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 3: an old wooden roller coaster. I'm going to have to

108
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 3: look that up. But it's a big white wooden structure.

109
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: Racist it looks.

110
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 3: Awesome and you hear people screaming on it. Then you

111
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 3: go on it and you realize everyone's screaming because their

112
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: back is hurting. It's sticky, and yeah, because it's a

113
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 3: wood roller coaster. Oh my god, that thing shakes you

114
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 3: from side to side. And when you get off, there's

115
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,679
Speaker 3: a chiropractor's office representative standing outside handing out business cards.

116
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: And is that where they came up with the billboard?

117
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: Who hurt You?

118
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 4: Is that?

119
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: Is that right there? Right there? Who hurt you? When

120
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: you're leaving Magic Mountain? So on this podcast we have

121
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: give me liberty and give me chicken fingers some golf shit?

122
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 4: Are you allowed to say that? Oh?

123
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: I did? I just it's a podcast, Yes, I get yes,

124
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: all right, So I'll begin with it. So, my my son, Patrick,

125
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: who was if you followed along on this podcast, is

126
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: now officially a United States Marine, graduated from boot camp

127
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: not that long ago in San Diego. And he walked

128
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: across the deck there the famous military based Marine training

129
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: center there in San Diego. Now that was you know,

130
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: that was big. That was a big deal, right, It

131
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: was you know, lump in the throats type stuff, and

132
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: you know, big day in someone's life. And then you know,

133
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: he graduate from marine boot camp. And so this past weekend,

134
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: and I had mentioned this to you Danny in passing,

135
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: But this past weekend it was something a little different.

136
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: He's currently at Infantry School, and so he's at Camp Pendleton, which,

137
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: if you're not familiar, is this massive stretch of military land.

138
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: If you're not from southern California, if you drive between

139
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: La and San Diego, there's about seemingly twenty miles which

140
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: is just a military base, and you know, you drive

141
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: through and you're like, wow, yeah, yeah, you see the

142
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: shooting ranges and all the practice, yeah buildings, it looks

143
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: pretty cool. And it's like every time I've driven by there,

144
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: and I used to work in San Diego, so I

145
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: drove by there quite a bit and you're like, what

146
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: are they actually doing there? It turns out they do

147
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: a lot. They do a lot. Now I've been told

148
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: I can't get into too many specifics, of course, because

149
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to knock on the door Danny from

150
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: someone like they'd be worried about what I say on

151
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: this stupid podcast. I don't want to be accused of

152
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: harboring you know something. But I can tell you stuff

153
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: that is readily available. For example, I can tell you

154
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: that Camp Pendleton is ginormous Danny. In fact, I was

155
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: driving around it. I'll explain why in a second. But

156
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: two hundred square miles. It's estimated there are five hundred

157
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: miles of roads on Camp Pendleton. You could hide, yes,

158
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: you could hide, no idea. I didn't either. I had

159
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: no idea. I just saw the stretch between La and

160
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: San Diego, like through things, so you could you literally

161
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: almost put Rhode Island in there and have room for Delaware.

162
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: It's that big.

163
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 4: That must be so cool to see that from the

164
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 4: from the air.

165
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, So I've I've driven past it. Shot

166
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: down but they kill you. So I've driven past it

167
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: hundreds of times literally over the years. We've all done it, Danny,

168
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: you going to San Diego with the family and whatnot,

169
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: and we've made that drive. Uh. And so you know

170
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: back then when I was missing, I never once stopped in.

171
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: I wasn't invited Dan, he didn't invite me to Camp Pendleton.

172
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: I never had a reason to go to Camp Pendleton.

173
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: And so this past weekend, like the kid Patrick, he

174
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: got on Base Liberty. Now, I had no fn idea.

175
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 4: What that meant.

176
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: I was like, he sent us a text here, I

177
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: got some Liberty. This weekend, but I can only it's

178
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: on Base Liberty. I said, what the F is that?

179
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: So for the uninitiated, like I was that man, I

180
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: know a lot of you guys have been in the military,

181
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: have got family and military, but this is all new

182
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 1: to me. So it means that he's free to hang out.

183
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: He's not. He doesn't have any work stuff. He can

184
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: hang out with visitors, provided he doesn't actually leave the base.

185
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: He's not allowed to leave the base, which is telling

186
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 1: a kid, you can eat as much ice cream as

187
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: you want, but only in the freezer aisle at the

188
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: grocery store in Aisle five. You can't go on Aisle six.

189
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: You can't go on Aisle you know. You can't go

190
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: on Aisle four. You got to stay on all five.

191
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: So we drove down into Ocean Side or ocean side

192
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: adjacent there, and you've you've been there. That's Junior se

193
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: I was old town right ocean side back in the day,

194
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: and just a little outpost. It's in between Orange County

195
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 1: and San Diego. It's a little a little south of

196
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: the San Diego Orange County line.

197
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 3: It's a bit stop for us because traffic usually it's

198
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 3: all clogged up right there. So you pull off in

199
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 3: ocean side to have a little lunch and wait it out.

200
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it smells like salt water. There's lots of sunscreen,

201
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: people in good looking people in bikinis, fish tacos, you know,

202
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: the whole thing. And I did not know this, but

203
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: amazing Chicken figures more on that in a minute. So

204
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: getting onto the base, it felt like I was entering

205
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: a different country, like a small sovereign country. And it

206
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: was very clean, very organized. There were housing tracks and

207
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: things like that, and I was like, wow, this is crazy, man,

208
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: and I didn't know where the hell was going. The

209
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: most amazing thing is at the gate, you know, there's

210
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: this military police guy and he looks at your driver's

211
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 1: license and kind of gives you the run around and stuff.

212
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 1: And then you're on the base and they don't tell you, hey,

213
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: you can't go here, you can't go there, you can

214
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: only stay here. So we were just like free rein.

215
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: I was like, holy crap. And then they've got an MCX,

216
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: which is the Marine Corps Exchange thing and Patrick, my kid, says,

217
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: he says, hey, he said, hey, this is the size

218
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: of Walmart. And he wasn't wrong, and these things are

219
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: all over. They had the big one on Camp Pendleton's

220
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: like literally the size of going into a Costco or

221
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: a Walmart.

222
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 3: And oh, forget Kirkland Brand exactly. Maybe we're gonna start

223
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 3: shopping there.

224
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: Well there's one problem, Danny, there's one problem. So I

225
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: went in there and I'm like, all right, I'm gonna

226
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: you know, they had all the military uniforms and all

227
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: that stuff. This is where the soldiers by their crap,

228
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: and they they had the regular stuff. They had electronics,

229
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: they had regular clothing cities as they call them, and

230
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: all the kinds of house stuff and it was just

231
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: a regular massive store the MCX and I realized I

232
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: wanted to get something, but they didn't want to get

233
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: an air fryer. I already have that. I didn't, you know.

234
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: They weren't getting too big, and I was like, well,

235
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: maybe I'll get some clothing. And then I realized that

236
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: there's really only one thing that I could get, and

237
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: so I bought a pair of socks because that's the

238
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: only thing they sold that fit my body type. It

239
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: turns out, Danny, I don't have a marine body. I'm

240
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: not military grade. Apparently, I'm not built like Rambo. I'm

241
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: built like Rambo's you know, gas bag uncle or something

242
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: like that.

243
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 3: Who sits So you can't get on roller coasters and

244
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 3: you can't shop at the exchange there.

245
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, in my head, I was. I walked in. My

246
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: eyes were huge. I was say, Oh, this is gonna

247
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: be great, dude. I'm gonna get so much cool stuff.

248
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: You know, it's all tax free because it's on a

249
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: military base and all this. No, I got socks. They're

250
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: nice green military socks, and I assume they'll last for

251
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: a while. So anyway, but they also Danny, they have

252
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: a raising canes on bass.

253
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 4: Now.

254
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 1: I mentioned this because Patrick suggests. He said, hey, you

255
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: know we were there. He had liberty, so he come down.

256
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: We'll have lunch. He didn't say where we're gonna have lunch,

257
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: and then he said he suggested that we eat there,

258
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: and I did not protest. Now, we both share a

259
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: neutral love of raising canes, and I had taken him

260
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: there pretty much every week for chunks of his child

261
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: like we would. I would drag his ass to canes

262
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: and so you know, he's all grown up now, so

263
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: I forget happy meals.

264
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 4: You're getting them box meals.

265
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: Oh No, I was getting the the caneiat combo. Baby,

266
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: that's what Now he's getting the caniat combo. Back then

267
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 1: it was the box meal. Now some people try to

268
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: trash on canes. Those people are called the dicks. But this, it's,

269
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: you know, shaking finger equivalent of essentially waving the white

270
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: flag that you're not dieting when you eat the caniat combo.

271
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: And it's just amazing. It's a symphony of Texas toast

272
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: the crinkle cut fry. They've got the sauce. I mean,

273
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: you might as well just include a nap in that.

274
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: I'm not really a napper, but anyway, it was great.

275
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: We had that and we said around and we talked

276
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: for a while, my wife, Patrick and me, and he

277
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: regaled us with stories about, you know, his time in

278
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: marine life, and you know, some were funny. Some I'm

279
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: not gonna lie, Danny made made made me think about

280
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: what road have you chosen here? But you know, he's, uh,

281
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: it's his life and you've got to live your own life.

282
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm happy that that's what he wanted

283
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: to do. And it's a it's great, but it doesn't

284
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: amaze me how much better the food is also on

285
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: the military base. I grew up near two defunct military

286
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: bases in Orange County, in El Toro and Tustin Marine Base,

287
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: and I had some buddies I went to school with

288
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: that were military brat kids, and every now and again

289
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: they would say, hey, hey, Benny, why do you know

290
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: they call me Benji? Actually, Benny, they call me Benji.

291
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: Why don't you come to the to the base. And

292
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: it was always the selling point Danny was, well, get

293
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: some candy because it's tax free, so it's cheaper.

294
00:14:59,720 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 4: Right.

295
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: I was a big bit fat kid wants candy, so

296
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: we go to the base. I remember the El Tooral

297
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: Base and they had the general store. It was like,

298
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: let's go to the general store. Bear bones, right. They

299
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: did have a McDonald's on the base, but nothing like

300
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: Camp Pendleton with a store the size of Costco and

301
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: raising canes, and they had I think there was a

302
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: Panda Express I remember correctly. Just crazy. This is a

303
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: new world order, Danny, Yeah, that's the way to do it.

304
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 3: Man, most definitely. I mean we had ship places down

305
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 3: the street from where I lived as a little kid.

306
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 3: I can't imagine having a food court in your neighborhood.

307
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 3: On your block.

308
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's wild, wild, wild, little crazy. So Benny

309
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: the Baker also made an appearance. That's one of the

310
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: nicknames my wife gave me. Realizing. And we didn't know

311
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: until Friday. We went on last last Saturday, but we

312
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: did not know until Friday night that we would be

313
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: allowed to visit it. So we ran out to the

314
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: store and got you know, we got some brownie stuff

315
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: and I made emergency brownies for for Patrick. Uh And

316
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: let me tell you something, Danny, All right, let me

317
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: tell you I learned something. The Marines. You know, they

318
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: might be big, tough guys, you know, and they eat

319
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: m r s and all that stuff in the field,

320
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: but you put a plate of warm brownies and uh,

321
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: they are like piranha and smelling blood in the water.

322
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: They they mean, they just go for it and uh man.

323
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: Uh So anyway, that was that was it, and it

324
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: was a good day, a little window into his world

325
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: and all that. Laugh. I was really pleased.

326
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 4: I was.

327
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: I was concerned where we were gonna eat. I was like,

328
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a crappy meal. Uh, And we ate

329
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: the chicken fingers and it was. It was cool.

330
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 3: It was a few hours that did I mean your

331
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 3: feet of them brownies. Did you at least get to

332
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 3: shoot off a few rounds? Yes, I would have been bartering.

333
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 3: I toss a few hand grenades.

334
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: Uh No. Also, I'm not a looted of but some

335
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: of the let's just say, Danny. They have several airports

336
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: on Camp Pendleton, several. We drove an hour in Camp

337
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: Pendleton to get to the Canes from where his uh

338
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: where he's living, you know, on dorms. I don't what

339
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: they call him. We drove an hour and we drove

340
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: by severals and barracks. There we was there were some helicopters, Nanny,

341
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 1: that I believe are worth I can't imagine, I mean,

342
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: the amount of weaponry that are on those helicopters. And

343
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: then just parked out there. I mean it was just

344
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: in I was in awe.

345
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 4: I love stuff like that.

346
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 3: Been to a couple of air museums, and man, I

347
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 3: could walk around and look at missiles and planes and

348
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 3: jets and helicopters for hours.

349
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: Oh I'm right there too. I mean, you just feel

350
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: more masculine, right, you feel like you're you're you're you're

351
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: the man's man, and it's just it's crazy and it's

352
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: I was like, I can't take a photo. I was,

353
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 1: I wanted to take a was I can't. I get

354
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: in trouble, you know, I don't want to get in trouble.

355
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: It was wild man. They were the layer, tons of

356
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 1: them all lined up. There was another airport where they

357
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: had like the big giant cargo plane things and stuff.

358
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: So it was really a cool experience. And hopefully we'll

359
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: I don't know when we'll see him again, and he's

360
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: he's going to be there for a while at Camp Pendleton, Patrick,

361
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: and then at some point he will be finish infantry school,

362
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: he'll be assigned to a permanent base that's not his

363
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: permanent base, somewhere in the world, and then we'll, I

364
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: guess we'll be traveling to Japan or Italy or wherever

365
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: the hell he ends up.

366
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 4: I don't know.

367
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 3: So maybe it's going to be exciting to see where

368
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 3: they put him.

369
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll just stay there that'll be easy, but probably not.

370
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 1: And then one thing about Patrick, though he loves chicken fingers,

371
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 1: but he's not into golf shit, not yet. But when

372
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: he gets older, maybe he'll be into golf shop.

373
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 3: Well possibly, he'll probably get to retire at a decent age, right.

374
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 1: I would think I don't want old guys in the Marines. Right,

375
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: you got to get out by a certain age.

376
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he'll be a high ranking officer and he'll have

377
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 3: plenty of time to go golf. Now, u's being lifelong broadcasters.

378
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 3: I don't know about you, but I've only picked up

379
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 3: golf clubs a couple of times.

380
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: My experience with golf is limited. I've played it a

381
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: few times. I used to have some clubs. I never

382
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: played it. I've gone for social events over the years.

383
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: There's been a few radio gigs where they said, hey,

384
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: let's go out and have golf with the sponsors. And

385
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: we did one with Fox Sports Radio a couple of

386
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: years back before the pandemic. I remember that it was

387
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: the last time I played golf. That's like six years ago.

388
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 4: Did you embarrass yourself or did you play? Okay?

389
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: I absolutely embarrassed myself. Yeah, they there were some of

390
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: those old NFL players. There's some guy I forget his name.

391
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: He works at the NFL network. Every time I run

392
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: into him, he says he tells everyone at the NFL

393
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: network how bad a golfer I am? Like I hit

394
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: a chair like I'm let's screw you, Bucky Brooks. Yeah,

395
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: there you go. You know you know who it was,

396
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: Bucky book And Yeah. So I wish I was more

397
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: into golf because I feel like I would have been

398
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: more successful in radio. Not that I haven't been successful,

399
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: but I feel like if you're good at golf, that's

400
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: where you go out there and you schmooze and a

401
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: lot of us get done. And I've never been that

402
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: guy to get deals done, which bothers me. It bothers.

403
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, same, and so it's ironically really the only time

404
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 3: I went on a golf outing was with the general

405
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 3: manager of Q one oh four seven. It was probably

406
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 3: like the year two thousand, programming their hip hop station.

407
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 3: At the time, the station was a huge success and

408
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 3: I had a little bit of free time. They were

409
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 3: paying me good money, and he also told me, hey,

410
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 3: I want to give you some freebies. I want to

411
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 3: show you the life. He told me, I want to

412
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 3: show you what I do a couple of times a week.

413
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 3: So he takes me to Sherwood Country Club, which is

414
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 3: famously where Tiger Woods held his tournament every year. Hey

415
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 3: it's Tiger okay, So I'm out there and it's really

416
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 3: the first time I'm on a real golf course.

417
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 4: I played so good. He was so.

418
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 3: Surprised, you're bullshitting me. You've played before, And I'm like, no,

419
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:15,479
Speaker 3: I swear it was totally beginner's luck. Because the second

420
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 3: time he took me out, which was a few months later,

421
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 3: I completely sucked. It was like I suddenly had never

422
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 3: picked up a golf club before. And what it was

423
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,479
Speaker 3: is I got in my head. It's such a mental

424
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 3: sport that when you're not overthinking it, you can hit

425
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 3: the ball straight. When you're overthinking it, you slice the

426
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 3: shit out of the ball.

427
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. And the the other thing about golf that I've

428
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: noticed is you're never good at everything. Like the person

429
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 1: that hits just amazing drives and just kills it with

430
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: the driver can't putt. Or the person that's good at

431
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 1: putting is fucking horrible. I just cursed horrible Danny at driving.

432
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: You know you can't. If you've got both. You're playing

433
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: on the PGA Tour, you're either good at one or

434
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: the other. Yeah.

435
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 3: If John Daily could put like Tiger Woods, he would

436
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 3: have been the best golfer who ever lived.

437
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: Yes, if you an't had balls, you know, the whole thing. Yes, exactly.

438
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 3: My cousin in the Bay Area, in the San Francisco

439
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 3: Bay Area.

440
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 4: He's more like a brother to me.

441
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 3: We grew up, you know, with our families being really close,

442
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,719
Speaker 3: and we've gone on hiking trips together as adults, and

443
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 3: you know, our lives are still intertwined. And I've done

444
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 3: like adult softball back in the day when I was

445
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 3: doing a radio station up there. He and I would

446
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 3: meet up once a week and play on a softball team.

447
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 3: And so, you know, we've done some adult sports together

448
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 3: even though we were young adults at the time. He

449
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 3: recently has taken up golf. He's even put a golf

450
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 3: simulator in his backyard. So he's starting to get serious

451
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 3: about it. And he's like, man, this is gonna be fun.

452
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 3: I want to go on a couple of trips where

453
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 3: I travel and bring my clubs. And I think he

454
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 3: went to play it again sports and he bought used

455
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 3: golf clubs, which as a smart move. You can get

456
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 3: golf clubs for decent price if you you know, grab

457
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 3: some from somebody who threw in the towel. You know,

458
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 3: I was thinking about, man, maybe I should take it

459
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 3: up too, so when I visit him in the Bay Area,

460
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:11,959
Speaker 3: we could play some golf.

461
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 4: It's funny.

462
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 3: As I was thinking about this, I ran into this story. Here,

463
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 3: it says Norway's most bizarre golf mystery continues since the

464
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 3: year two thousand and five, Staveinger Golf Club in western

465
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 3: Norway has been dealing with a very unusual vandal.

466
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 4: This is great. Someone keeps shitting in the golf holes?

467
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 1: Is it?

468
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 4: Unner?

469
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 3: Rounds keepers they use the word defecating. By the way,

470
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 3: I'm gonna change it. Round Keepers say the culprit, believed

471
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 3: to be a man on a bicycle, strikes only on

472
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 3: weekday mornings and often hits the same holes. He's even

473
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 3: dodged security, once climbing a tree to disable floodlights. Twenty

474
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 3: years later, now the mystery pooper is still on the loose,

475
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 3: leaving people wondering if it's a grudge against golf, a

476
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 3: strange habit, or something even weirder.

477
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, you're telling me, I don't something doesn't

478
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: add up on this.

479
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 4: Danny.

480
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: With all the technology with cameras, they can't find who's

481
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: doing this.

482
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 4: Come on, they say, he's elusive.

483
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: Oh come on, what is it Bigfoot? The Bigfoot of shit?

484
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: Come on about that? That seems a little od Those

485
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: stories though, are good, Like remember there was the every

486
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: couple of years there's a guy that goes and poops

487
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: on someone's door, you know, or the mad pooper.

488
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember you talking about that.

489
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's come up on the podcast over the years

490
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: a few times where somebody, like one time there was

491
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: a principle and I think it was in like New Jersey,

492
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, there was a principle that was

493
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: caught pooping on the track at the like the high

494
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: school track or something like that. Is that like some

495
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: kind of fetish where you like outdoor pooping. You're into

496
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: the outdoor poop. That's your thing, that's your your go to.

497
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 3: I it's it's gotta be because like urinating outside, it's

498
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 3: one of the most freeing feelings there is.

499
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: Well, it's it is great or and I only do

500
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: it on the road. I only do it on the road.

501
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: But then every once in a while it goes bad.

502
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: I remember I had a buddy of mine that worked

503
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 1: at he was at ESPN, but he was he was

504
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: a TV he was an anchor and he was covering

505
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: the World Series. A good guy. I think he's an

506
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: anchor in Cincinnati and I lost contact with him, but

507
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: you can google it. He was covering the World Series.

508
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 1: I think it was the World Series, might have been

509
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: the playoffs in Cleveland back in the nineties and he

510
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: was at a bar and I guess the bathroom was full,

511
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: so he decided that he would just take a piss

512
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: like out the window, and he got caught and got

513
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: like arrested. It was either got the window out in front,

514
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: but it was like, you know, it was in public,

515
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: and he got It was very embarrassing, but it wasn't

516
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: as embarrassing as it would be today because there was

517
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: no social media but then, but it was like, you know,

518
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: come on, like what are you doing.

519
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 3: I loved this story because that, like I said, that

520
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 3: first time I played, I thought I was Tiger Woods Please.

521
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 3: The second time I played, I basically was shitting in

522
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 3: the golf holes.

523
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go, but I'm bumped. And do you

524
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,719
Speaker 1: have golf clubs? Then you have you purchased golf clubs.

525
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 3: I did not, because I was borrowing his extra clubs.

526
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 3: Those two times I tried it, and I didn't keep

527
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 3: with it. I think I might look for some used clubs.

528
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 3: I don't know if I have a sort of free

529
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 3: time you need, but I guess just once every couple

530
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 3: of weeks you could at least just go to a

531
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 3: public driving range.

532
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 1: Yeah. If I had a good driver, and if somebody

533
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 1: knows how to get a really cheap, good set of clubs,

534
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: I'd be in on that. But the problem is I'm tall,

535
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 1: I think so I need like a special set of

536
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 1: a special set of clubs, which is an issue. So

537
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: if you have any acts. I went to the PGA

538
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: tour store. We went to Top Golf and got into that.

539
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: I was like, fun. We went to Top Golf a

540
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: couple of times and we're like, all right, I'll buy

541
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: some clubs. And I've told this story on the podcast,

542
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: but we'll buy some clubs and then we'll go to

543
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: the driving range. There's a couple of golf courses around here,

544
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: and we went and saw how much the clubs weren't.

545
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I'm not doing that. I mean, please,

546
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: it's insane buying them new. Sod I wouldn't buy them new,

547
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: but fun, I get you. We' getting older, Danny. I

548
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: guess we got to get in golf. Isn't that what

549
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: old you know?

550
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 3: It's the circle of life. It's either pickleball or golf.

551
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 3: And I'm not playing pickleball, absolutely not.

552
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: And if you see me playing pickleball, punch me right

553
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: in the nose. Loser, boom right there. All right, we'll

554
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: get out on that of the mail bag on Sunday,

555
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 1: Sunday Sunday, so we have that to look forward to.

Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll see where we end up. Yeah.

Speaker 3: to take these kids to the park and then immediately

571
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 3: kick their asses out of the house and send them

572
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,880

586
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: a cart.

587
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know exactly what the one you're talking about.

00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: you're going on your way to the Jungle Cruise. Right

590

593
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: And there's been Ben he's been listening to the show

594
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: for a long time. He's he was at the Bakersfield Shindig.

595
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 4: That's right.

596
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 3: I remember meeting him there, and dude, me and my

597
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 3: better half, we are so appreciative because there is no

598
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 3: way in hell we could have been able to bring

599
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 3: the kids. You know, living in southern California, there's no

600
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 3: way we could have brought them this summer otherwise.

601
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 4: Oh no.

602
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: I one of the reasons he reached out he's, you know,

603
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people and they don't interact that much,

604
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: but he had interacted before and then we kind of

605
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: lost track. And then he reached out to me because

606
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: I was complaining on the radio about I said, I

607
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: live close to Disneyland, I never go because it's so

608
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: freaking expensive and all that. And he's, you know, Kay

609
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: knows some people. He's a mad man. He's a made man,

610
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: so he can make your dreams come true. Anyway, all right,

611
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: I have a wonderful Saturday again. We'll have the mail
