  Speaker 1: Cutbooms.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Mallard starts right now.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: In the air everywhere.
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: The Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler. That would be me
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: and Danny G Radio and a happy, happy, happy, happy
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: Saturday to youth. See twenty second day of February. It's
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: National Margarita Day today, so celebrate appropriately. I'm sure there'll
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: be National Margarita Day in July and then there'll be
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: one in November. But there it is, and it's cook
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: a Sweet Potato Day today as well.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Big day, big holiday for sure.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: On this podcast though, Danny is with me, Danny G Radio,
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: and we will have a bye bye mayor quote me,
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: the Komodo dragon in the room, and a couple other things.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: We'll see if we have time to get to those things.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: I did see the Yankees yesterday. Nanny decided to change
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: their their facial hair policy, which is I think been
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: in place my entire life.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I think, I don't know. Maybe when I was.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: A little kid, they had facial hair, but since George
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Steinrenner owned the team, he put that in there. And
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: now the New York Yankees will have players wearing well
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: groomed beards moving forward.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Stars attract other stars, so exciting. So I can't tell
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: you how excited I am about that.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: And yeah, clearly that's what they were missing. If they
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: only had beards, they might have made some defensive plays
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: against the Dodgers. And the fifth inning of Game five
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: there of the World Series. And I was watching some
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: NBA last night and a tremendous effort by the Knickerbockers
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: to lose a game by thirty seven points to supposedly
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: a big matchup with Cleveland.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: My god, that was that was not so?
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: But we begin the Saturday Pod with some sad, melancholy
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: news that we were unaware of.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: We were unaware of.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: This news until Milkman Mike passed the story on to
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: us on Friday. The I call this the spirit animal
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: of the Mala militia has checked out. We didn't know
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: about this, had actually happened back in late December, but
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Parker the snow Dog unfortunately not with the world anymore.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: The Bernice Mountain dog that had really been the go
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: to Bronco b roll dog and we met Parker the
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: snow Dog years ago, came in studio and one of
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: the one of the coolest, nice part of the snow dog,
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: just very chill, mellow and wonderful. My condolences to Dustin
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: who is the one that was behind the magic of
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Parker the snow Dog. And anytime you watch the Bronco
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: game on TV for the last I don't even know
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: how many years, they'd inevitably do a shot coming back
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: from break where they'd put the the graphics, the chiron
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: up with the sponsors and then the shot would be
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: Parker the snow Dog with the rocky mountains in the
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: background covered in snow. And unfortunately, we learned yesterday that
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: this dog is beautiful, just cool, chill, like an every
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: dog I'm in around. You try to put clothes on
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: the dog or try to direct the dog, and a
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: lot of the times the dogs.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Will do what they want to do because you know
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: they dogs.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: This dog, Parker the snow Dog, it's this breed of dog,
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: the Bernice Mountain dog, and it would just sit there
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: with sunglasses on and a jersey and a fugazy hat
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: and just be as happy as could be. And in,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: I guess died in a car accident. Actually Corners, Yeah,
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: that was on the TV station there in Denver about
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: ice fishing at the end of December there and unfortunately
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: did not make an accident out on a highway forty
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: and so our thoughts there.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: But it was it was cool, it was great. Parker
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: was a character on the show.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Thanks to to Dustin, Parker had become a big part
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: of the show. He was eight and a half years
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: old the time he died. Now, those dogs don't actually live,
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: they don't have long lifespans, but Parker would have certainly
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: lived longer than that. Obviously with dying in the as
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: a result of the car accident and this dog, Danny,
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you were there when he came
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: in or not. I think you had left by then.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: But Parker came in studio and hung out with us.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: But he had become over the years.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: He was named the a mascot of the famous Loveland
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: ski area in Colorado that was twenty seventeen, he was
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: sworn in as the honorary mayor of Georgetown, Colorado. It's
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: a little mountain town and it's about ten miles or
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: so away from from that ski area that was in
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty during the COVID year.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: And from what I understand, I.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Was reading the story, and I know Dustin had done
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: a lot in the community in Denver in that area,
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: and I know it popped up on the local TV
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: news quite a bit. The morning shows loved Parker the
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: snow dog in. Dustin sent some clips out every so
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: often and whatnot. And he was also a therapy dog,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: so you know, the dog touched a lot of people's lives, so.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: That sucks. I do remember when he was in the
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: studio with you. That was some really good photos that
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: you had with the dogs. One of the only things
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: I ever liked about the Broncos.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: That's right, you are, mister raider. Parker was.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: Parker was equal opportunity all Colorado sports. I don't think
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: he ever w or a rock East Jersey because why
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: would you. But they like the Nuggets and the and
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: the Broncos and probably the Avalanche as well.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: And I don't know.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's like such a unique thing to
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: have a dog that becomes that popular, and who knows,
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: maybe Dustin will be able to, you know, create another
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: you know, not Parker the snow Dog, but whoever comes next.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: But they this story. There was some stuff in the
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: story I had no idea about. They said that Parker's
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: annual birthday celebration, Parker Palooza, raised money for for a
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: camp for children and adults with different disabilities that we're
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: living with them. So that was maybe we stole mallor
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Palooza from Parker Palooza.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Or vice versa.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: I don't know, but either way, rest in peace, park
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: of the snow Dog. And that was I was happy
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: I got to meet you and Dustin Mike Condolence's pal.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: I was trying to I was trying to send him
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: a message and I I.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Was singing Danny and I I want to say hello
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to Dustin.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: And I don't think I have an email. I might
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: have an email, I didn't find it.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: If I do.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: And then there's a there's an X account for park
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: of the snow Dog, but I don't know if he's
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: using it. I mean, so anyway, hopefully he'll be able
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: to hear this at some point, So my thoughts go
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: out to Dustin, and Dustin you can quote me, you
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: can absolutely, And Dan.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you can quote me Danny, but
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: he can quote me. I don't know about you.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: I'm coming off a long week here because the Corrino
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: and Richard we filled, and then first for the Dan
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Patrick showing. The hours of that show match more like
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: your schedule because I was waking up at four in
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: the morning. Then to end the week, we did the
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Colin Cowherd showing, which the hours were better because on
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: the West Coast it starts at nine am, but that
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: means you sit in traffic between seven and eight am
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: in LA, and that is gridlock. It was quite the week,
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: but on air it was awesome because I debuted a
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: new game. You know, it's one thing you and I
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: have in common. We both do wacky morning show style
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: games on our shows. The new one you'd like, Ben,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: because it highlights big mouths in the sports world. Okay,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: all right, and I'm calling it quote me, so I'm
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: gonna give you a sample, and I'm guessing you're gonna
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: be good at this game because you read a lot
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: of quotes from the sports world on your overnight show. Yeah,
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: and play a lot of audio, you know, sound bites
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: from mostly athletes. But in this case, in this game,
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: I'm highlighting not just athletes but talking heads. Okay, all right,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: so I'll give you a sample question here. In Lebron's case,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: the guest pettiness and insecurity aren't limited to just people
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: who aren't super successful in the field. Quote me, is
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: that a Jonas Knox, b Kendrick Perkins or CD Doug
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Gottlieb dumb?
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: Well, well, I don't think it was Jonas. I'm gonna
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: go that sounds like Gottlieb to me.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Is that Gottlieb reacting to Lebron tweeting at him?
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: It was amusing to see Lebron. Who these these guys,
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: Danny that are like a you know, they don't pay attention.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: There's such big stars to people like us that do
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: sports rade and got leaves on during the day a
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: couple hours a day, and Lebron, you know, he was
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: fully aware of everything, got all of us. What what
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: we say about Bronni James and him? Lebron is obsessed
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: with Lebron. The only thing Lebron loves more than Lebron
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: is Lebron. So he's aware of all of that, and
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: that's all he just that was a dead giveaway I like.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: To give him. If he was a Clipper, you would
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: love him and be sucking toes. I would never do that. Sure,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: all right, here's so here's the next question for you.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Let's see how good you can do here.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: We're playing quote me.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: Okay, our live coveragere in the fifth hour, Live on
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: tape the fifth Hour, Ben Mallard.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Danny g Radio. Okay, you're either gonna draft me or
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: you're not. If you don't draft me, that's your fault.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: You've got to remember you're the same team that's got
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: to play me for the rest of my career. And
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: I'll remember that a cam Ward b Shador Sanders or
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: C Dylan Gabriel I am.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go one hundred percent, No lifeline needed on
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: this one. That is the words that will likely come
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: back to haunt cam.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Ward ding Ding ding Ding.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna go out and live and say that
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: cam Ward will probably not be that good and that
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: will come back to bite him in the tukas when
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: people point out boy. I wish we could play cam
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Ward every game the way cam Ward's playing.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Sign me up for some of that.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: So far, you're two for two. Here's the third one
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: for you. Third and final will quote me question for
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Ben Mallor. Here we go, Gean Carlos Stanton having an
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: injured elbow, check that both elbows? Is Shashank redemption? Like?
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Remember when red yawned and stretched? Is that a Rob Parker, me,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Jason Smith or c Ben Maller.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: Let me see, let's go back to a Malor Mallard monologue.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know I quoted shosh ink redemption this week?
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Did and by the way, the contestant on the air
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: got your name correct, and that one himself a swiggy.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Oh oh, Bobby is trying to sweep here, Bobby?
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Are you serious?
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: We had two sweeps two days in a row.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: What happens? Will you stick me on da? I know?
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Ben Maller said that for fun, let's go to round three.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: A right grasped the bomby.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Bobby, you already get a swiggy.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Oh nice? Oh that's I actually took. I let Covino.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell the story later. But I did use
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: the Covino and rich swag. I took it with me
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: on a little road trip, so I did, and it's solid.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's a fun game. That's and you play
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: it every year.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: No, it worked out nice, and I played it. I
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: put it together for Friday, started the week with it
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: on the Dan Patrick Show as kind of a walkthrough,
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: and I ended the week on Friday playing the game.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: But I put a nice added touch to it. After
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: the contestant got the correct answer, then I played what
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: the real audio cut sounded like.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that's great. Yeah, that's a fun game.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: I I still have not debuted the game that I
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: was planning on debuting.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Hopefully this week will debut the.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Game Oh smarter than your Tech Queen.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: Well something along those lines. Yeah, that's the plan, but
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: we have not done it. We actually have some imaging done,
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: we just haven't actually put the game on. Trying to
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: figure out when to slide the game in. And I
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: want to have like.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Hall of Famers.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: I want to have who's are you smarter than the
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: FSR Tech Queen? But have like Blair and Maine, Marcel
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: and hollering James. Yeah, we're trying to figure out the
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: logistics of how many people we want to play against Lorraine.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Is it one versus one?
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Is it two versus one? Oh? I got you. Okay,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: I see.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: There's some technical stuff that has to be worked out
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: on that. But as far as the the Komodo dragon
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: in the room, and this is involves the Coveno enrich
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: item that I have here, the what do you call
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: that thing?
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: What's the name of We call it because the name
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: of the brand is Swiggy, so we call it a
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: C n R Swiggy.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: Swiggy Okay, yeah, yeah, So I took that with me
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: to the iconic, world famous San Diego Zoo. Yes, we'll
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: visit to the same right, my old stomping grounds in
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: San Diego. And I absolutely love that area. There's it's
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: so busy though on the weekends. And I did do
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: what you did last time you went to San Diego.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: We went down way too early, so I was like
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: half awake, half asleep early on a Saturday morning and
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: traveled down to the San Diego Zoo and with my
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: sister in law, brother in law and niece nephew, and
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: we were cruising around the zoo and the first thing
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: we saw when we got into the San Diego Zoo.
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: We walked over there was a rhino that was the
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: talk of the zoo, and the rhino.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Was just eating whatever.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: And we determined very quickly that the rhino was a
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: male rhino, and that the rhino was how should we
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: say this, standing at attention there and looked. I thought
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: rhinos on the we had four legs. It appeared the
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: rhino had five legs. Of course, this was kind of
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: awkward because I have my niece and nephew and they
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: of course immediately, you know, little kids when they see that,
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: it's an eye opening what's eye opening for adults too?
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: But yeah, the rhino putting on a show for all
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: the kids at the front of the San diegozo and
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: it was all the parents are laughing, the kids are
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: like pointing.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: It's quite the scene there, right out.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Of a movie, like an old kind of rhino's nickname
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: is Kickstand.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, my god, how do they run? They run very fast.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: I don't know how they're able to run like.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: That, but there they are.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: And we saw that we saw elephants, drafts, hippos, a
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: bunch of random animals in between. And I'd not been
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: to the San Diego Zoo in a long time.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: It is beautiful.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: It's very pricey, but I did get a photo with
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: the Komodo dragon in the room.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: I was right there. They have a little Komodo dragon.
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: Thing there and I wandered in and it was very cool.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Use the Komodo dragon in many a malar monologue over
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: the years, I have referenced the iconic Kimodo dragon, and
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: there I was side by side.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I thought. The coolest thing though, other than the Komodo
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: dragon were.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: The the hippos, which it was so cool because the
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: way they did it at the zoo is beautiful. They
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: have this viewing area where you can see under the
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: water and over the water, and so the hippos can
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: hold their breath for like five six, seven minutes or
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: something like that, so it's awesome. They're massive and you
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: see them jump in the water and they're uh, you know,
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: it's just cool. It's just an awesome, breathtaking thing to
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: see that. And that was pretty neat the Polar bears
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: was cool. Similar setup they had for the polar bears there,
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: but it is it's a wonderful zoo they did. You know,
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: every time I go I haven't been in a long time,
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: probably been. I mean, god, I can't imagine how long
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: it's been, but long time.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: But it was awesome. Did you take that steep pike
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: up pill I've talked about.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Out yes, and I went yes.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: I did not realize that that was what we were doing,
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: but we we did end up going up up the hill.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: I did not go on the people mover thing though
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: that they have there.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: I did not.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: I did not feel that was safe, probably very safe,
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: but I chose not to to do that.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: And we didn't eat anything. We brought food.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Amazing gift shop though they they really go for it
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: there at the San Diego Zoo gift shop. Not as
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: expensive as Disneyland or anything like that, but that's you know,
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: you're helping feed the animals or.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Helping the people that work at the zoo.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: I guess one way, one way or another, but it
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: was it was a good time. And just drove down
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: for the day and drove back and it was it
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: was smooth and and the cool thing about it was
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: we timed it perfectly that we went so early in
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: the morning on Saturday from you know, from the La area.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: We got there and on the way back.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: It was bumper to bumper on the other side, but
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: we weren't in it smooth sailing, so at that time
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: it's not you know, and I live a little south
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: of LA so it's not that that far that far drive,
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: so it was pretty pretty good good times for sure.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: So I enjoyed the same again, yes, not more than that.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: Just wow, that's very impressive. You will not forget that time.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: Now for the phrase of the week, the phrase the week.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: That's right, the phrase of the week.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: The phrase of the week this week is a request
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: from John in Dallas, Texas. He says, many times I
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: can sort of figure out what a certain phrase might
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: point back to, but I don't have any idea on
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: this one. In a nutshell. I've heard you use it,
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: and I am interested in the origin the background, says
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: John in Dallas. Well, John, you've come to the right place.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: I do use that phrase every so often. I don't
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: know how often, maybe once a week, once a month,
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: who knows, it's in my lexicon in a nutshell And
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: for those that don't know, maybe in the back of
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: the room they do not know. It's basically just to
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: tighten things up, be concise, get to the point, please
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: right reduce everything in just the simplest, most simplistic form.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: In a nutshell, you cut through all the bull crap
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: and you get down to in a nut show and
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: that's it. And so it's my way of saying, I'm
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: not giving you the entire story. I'm just giving you
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: the most important facts, which is pretty much all we
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: do in radio. You just have to worry about the surface.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: You don't have to go below the surface. You're on
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: the surface and.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: That's where you go.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: So the origin on this, the first time that phrase
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: was used quite literal, was around the first century So
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: in a nutshell goes all the way back to the
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: first century AD, and it was in a text titled
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: Plenty's Natural History.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, Plenty tells the tale.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: Of how his friend told him that he saw a
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: copy of Homer's famous poem and it was being made
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: in a miniature form so that the whole poem, written
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: on parchment, could be fit into the shell of a walnut.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: And therefore the phrase in a nutshell came to be used.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: And that's from around the first century AD and means
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: to this day it's not used by that many people,
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: but I use it, and you're referring to reducing something
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: massive into the simple and brief and understandable form in
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: a nutshell.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: So thank you.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: John in Dallas, and our thoughts are with the Maverick
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: fans who are still in mourning. Although the way Lucas looked,
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: I don't know how much morning should be at least
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: right now, you have to wait until he actually turns
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: out to play. Well, you haven't played that well yet.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: We'll see what happens with that for sure.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: One hundred.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Well, he's still heard. At least he's trying to play
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: through the injury. Anthony Davis is I don't know, somewhere
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: chilling on a couch.
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: I didn't see him play on Thursday though, I don't
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: know if he was trying to play that night.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Uh, Luca, I'm just.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Saying, uh, now, I I did graduate yet again. I
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: want to pat myself on the back here. I hope
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: I don't hurt my back. I heart you, Danny and
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: I got the yearly email from the boss.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: We have to every year. We have to take FCC.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: Training online and it's it's very easy. It's one but
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: it's like going to the DMV. You know, if you
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: if you get a traffic ticket, you go to the
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: DMV and you have to do online school.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: It's it's similar to that, and most this.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: One's about the dump button and the eas tests and
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: words and material that we can't stay on the radio, like.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Fu shitty functions.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah, yeah, when it's something leaving the body.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: But but I I did see in the video and
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: I was watching him saying, well, it said save harbor
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: hours from ten.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: I thought of you during that safe harbor little lecture.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: So I'm like, why am I doing this? I'm on
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: in the safe harbor. I can say fuck because I'm
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: on in the safe harbor.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: I'm allowed to.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: No, you can't say that just because you're in the
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: safe harbor.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, I can't.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: No, But you can say rhinos weenie.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: All right, so I can't say rhino' REENI but I
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: as it said safe harbor. You know that the rules
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: are are down and yeah, no, the company wouldn't want
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: me to do I don't think the FCC would care,
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: but the company probably would not want me to to
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: do that.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And I and the issue with what we're doing
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: is a network is on nationwide, so do you have
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: the possibility of offending somebody in the Bible Belt.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Well possibility.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the issue that we deal with that local
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: radio guys don't have to deal with. If we f up,
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: we like my show is like six hundred stations at
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: night or whatever, it's conceivable that every station would be fine.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: Six hundred stations would be fine. And what's the minimum?
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: Would they say? Like, is it thirty thousand dollars?
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: Thirty five thousand dollars? Yeah?
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's uh, let's do some Malor math here.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Let me get my calculator.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Let me get my calculator out here, hold on a
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: sec here, and and and and all.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Right, so thirty five thousand times, we'll just do six hundred.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, that would.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: Be if my math is correct. Is that twenty one
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: million dollars at Wow? That's you imagine I going one
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: night from the bar and say the thing I can't
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: say at the time. I can't say it with twenty
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: one million dollars in fines.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: You have to sell the Malor mansion to come up
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: with that kind of money.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: Oh, sell them Malar mansion. I'd be pushing shopping carts.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: But now I wouldn't be working at the store. I
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: would have all my my possessions in the shopping cart.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's that is craziness. Man. I didn't realize the
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: numbers the math on that that is that is next
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: level is is what that is? Geez Luise oh Man?
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Anyway, Uh, it is the fifth hour.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: By the way, you want to send a message in
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: for the mail bag, which is tomorrow. It may be
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: used tomorrow, I mean may be used tomorrow, maybe not,
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: but you can send him a message in real fifth
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: hour at gmail dot com. That's real fifth hour at
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: gmail dot com. And I just mentioned if you want,
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: if you want, if you want credit, mention your name
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: and mention where you're what city you're from. A lot
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: of you idiots email me and you don't mention that,
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: So that's a bad job by you.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: I usually don't even use those questions. I follow up.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: I didn't want to do a follow up to yesterday.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: We did a Canadian heavy malor fifth hour here yesterday
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: as we reacted to a hostile takeover by our can
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: brothers and sisters and our one because of the USA
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: versus Canada and that four nations thing and whatnot. I
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: did see the TV ratings nine point three million, which
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: for hockey is orgasmic. Right, nine point three million people
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: watching a hockey game. That's set a record for any
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: hockey game, any non NFL event on the ESPN plus,
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: I guess it is.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: That is a lot of bandwagon motherfuckers.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Well my point I was getting.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: I mentioned the hockey cult yesterday, which I don't know
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: if Colvino and Rich deal with this, but I get
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: the hockey cult where people yell at me for not
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: talking hockey, and then when I talk hockey they yell
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: at me for talking hockey because I'm not knowledgeable about hockey.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: So it's oh yeah, this is the same same people,
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: same sort of people that are soccer fans, same thing.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you're right, World Cup. Yeah, if you talk
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: about it, or if you don't talk about it, how
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: you're not covering it. As soon as you talk about it.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: You don't know about this sport.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Exactly. That's that's what we deal with you, which is fine. Whatever.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: People complain about everything, and they give them something to
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: complain about, and and that's that's fine. And then I'll
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: do my rant where I say, well it's I do broadcasting,
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: not narrow casting. Hockey's narrow and then they that really
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: just adds ask to the fire and then they lose
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: their mind and and all that.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: But but it was great. Man.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: At my position, I'm not evolving my position. I still
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: don't think it was about the hockey. It was about
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: America versus Canada. It was about pride of country. That's
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: what it was about. That's why people became engaged in it.
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: And that's great. But you're not gonna be able to
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: recreate that in the regular season when it's a Pittsburgh
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: Penguins game against the New York Islanders. You're not going
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: to have that same magic. That's not going to be
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: part of the deal. So it's fine. It was great
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: when maybe a few people will say I kind of
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: like hockey and I'll get into it now, I would not.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: I would not hold my breath on that. All right, Dan,
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: any you want to promote here, It's Saturday where both
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: of us are kind of chilling out other than this podcast, right,
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: kind of hanging out chill day.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, man, it's going to be a day of the rest.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: And my better half has been on a kick the
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: past week or so. The closet. The upstairs closet is
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: next because she has donation bags downstairs. She gut it
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: out underneath the kitchen sink two days ago. So she's
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: in spring cleaning mode before we even get to spring.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Point out Danny that it's not it's it's February.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: It's not. We're not quite in spring yet. She's getting
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: a head start.
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: Well, maybe she figures because it's spring training, that's spring cleaning,
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: spring training.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: Spring, I think. So, you know how pictures and catchers
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: report her OCD reports this time of the year.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: There you go, there, you go. All right, we'll get
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: out on that. We have the mail bag on Sunday. Sunday, Sunday.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: Have a wonderful, glorious Saturday. Whatever you're up to today,
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: and be safe. We'll chat with you tomorrow.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: Pasta pasta my filation
