Senseless Direction

clearly not enough, and you have stumbled on blindly. The Fifth Hour podcast a spinoff of the weekend weekday show. Here on the weekends, even on a Saturday, college football Saturday. In a rare and appropriate Saturday appearance by Mr West of the four oh five, I can't say that a month or two from now, but I can say it now. David Guest in the house, he hey, why why this week? You have not been with us on Saturday and sometime,

Guest Gun, you have a skewed the Saturday podcast. But here you are here, you are pushing your way back into the podcast studio. Here I am to save the day right here that the busy time man. I got like seven jobs and I just I think that a round of applause is in order. I just finished my taxes, um, so I think that you know you are paying your taxes,

and you make enough money to paying my taxes. But I'm getting something back, which is always nice, getting some money to return to me a little while to do my taxes and then get some nines and W two is back from respective employers. But do you do that? You actually do the taxes yourself. You don't hire an outs. I'd accountant to your taxes. You are the one who is crunching the numbers. Is that accurate? Uh? What's a combination? I I do a lot of the crunching of the numbers.

And the reason why is because of all the all the income that comes from non W two providers. So a lot of these outlets they attending and hang me, you can write off a lot of things, or at least some things. And so I gotta go through checklists and I'm azations and you're used to in the old days, Oh my god, it was wonderful when I traveled with the Dodgers. I would go on the road, I go into a cab and the cab driver would hand me

a stack of receipts. Now, I'm not saying that I took advantage of this, but I do know some sports writers that did take advantage of it on the road and would just fill out endless taxi receipts and uh it was, it was wonderful. Uh. Now you do, you travel, You get paid to travel much. You do a lot of stuff locally. Guess gun right, because I don't want I don't want you to be like an NBA official from back in the day or an umpire on the plane tickets. You gotta be careful on that. No, no,

I uh yeah, I mean it's all local here. But I do have an app. I do have a couple of apps that I use for for logging my mileage. I don't know if you use any of those at all, but I use one called the mile i Q and that's obviously for driving to and from a location. For it itemizes it too, so you can say like, hey, this is like for the gym, this is for personal

use like the grocery store, or it's for work. So I I basically lay out all the places that I work at and then um and then it logs in accordingly. So it's pretty nice. Yeah, So what I do is I used to do that, but now I use I have a thing that counts my steps. So I go out of my bedroom, I turned left. I then go down a hallway without a without a rail, It's like Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, and then make a right. I go down the hall. Then I'm gont a fork in the road.

I get to the fork in the road, fork in the hall, and then turned right and then I'm in the broadcast studio. So I count the steps. It's roughly on a on a bad day, if I take really small steps, I could get up to like forty five steps. So just going to my office there. So at the end of the year, I do a cross benefit analysis there on that, but I use an accountant. And the reason that we do the Mallard family here is because

I am terrible at at math. And my parents when I was in high school, they had the knock on the door. You know what that means, gascon the knock on the door. They got audited. Yeah, the I R S knocked on the door and they the math. I'm told on getting audited. It's even you know, it's worse now than it was then. That they don't audit very many people. But I I'm so paranoid about that. And I remember my parents having to go through and they kept files on everything. It was all over the house.

May they rest in peace, but they had to track down all of those files and it was such a pain in the ascid. It was such a stressful situation for my parents. Like, at least with an account And I'm not saying I can't get it audited with an accountant, but when you have an account and say, okay, I'm paying you figure it out right. You know, you know I'm paying the money. You're the one that did the taxes. It's it's on you, and so it's it gives me a little peace of mind at night. It gives me.

And I also when they changed the tax code a few years back and we ended up owing money because we had the accountant, I guess it not we had not done that properly, given the right paperwork to the accountant, and so we had to write a check to the to the government, and that was It was terrible. But I have been told over the years that you're actually better off having to either either have it even or have to write a small check to the government that

you keep the money and money in hand is better. Uh. Now that might have been bullshit, but I was told by somebody that I believe knows this stuff, that you're better off doing it that way. But I always feel better. I feel like I've won something, even though the people that do the math will tell you that you have

not won anything. When you actually get a check back from from the government that that you think you've done well, it's like a mind mind trick, like thinking you've done well when when realistically it's the government that had your money and is then paying the money back that you overpaid for taxes. Yeah, with no uh no interest added to it. I don't feel like it's a win anywhere, especially nowadays with the money that is being taken and

used for taxes. It's it's awful, it is. But just think, yes, your money is helping to give people free money that don't have to do anything, so that's a good thing. But you get your you are like Robin Hood. You're stealing from yourself to give to other people. It's a it's a wonderful thing. What a world we live in here. Check and I again, I was raised I blame the people that raised me that I was raised to work hard and you get paid when you work hard, and

I did. If only my mom had taught me when I was a little boy, Ben grow up and you know, if you don't really work hard and you don't have a job, and you don't try to get a job, I'll just give you a thousand bucks a month. What the hell? Why not? Maybe great, wonderful Los Angeles County. Yeah, I mean it's uh, who's your sugar daddy? L A County? Baby? Is it? L A County? Is a l A City? Which one? Is it? I forget it's it's I don't

I don't know. It's probably l A City because l A County is a much larger, much larger operation, I would think. But that's the West coast man, that's California. Yeah, so I love friends in the West, want California to go out in the Pacific. But you know, I think it's l A City, l A city giving giving a thousand dollars a month to two thousand households for an entire year, no questions asked. It's just as absolutely amazing. But you know, question, I'm not allowed to ask any questions,

I work like a meal woman. I'll do is talk radio. Can you mean a few of these people that that have real jobs? I have a crap, you know, an easy job. But imagine the people that ust their ass, you know, and they're not making a ton of money. Although you can make pretty good money if you're a handyman or a you know, working depending on what you do in a factory. There are jobs that pay pretty well. But then you see the person over there is just like eating ding dings all day in the cashing in

their checks. What's up with that? No motivation at all? That's unbelievable. But I mean that that that is an extension that's actually like a form of bribery in a sense, right, like we'll pay you you just vote for us next election term. Well, it's to me, it's not even it's just it's you're encouraging bad behavior and you just what

are you doing? You know, a dollar there's an old idiom and I'm gonna probably butcher it here, but it's something about a dollar earned and the value of that, right, the value of but that everything with inflation now is insane, it's insane, and there's no there's no end in sight. And in my experience, once the prices go up, they never go back down. It's not the reasons the prices and say, okay, we're gonna lower the prices. And if

they do lower the prices, I've noticed this. One of my favorite restaurants I go to not far from the

north Woods here, uh is this chicken fingerplace. And what they did is they lowered the prices, but they gave you smaller portions, so they it's a again a mind mind mind hack where you think you're getting a good deal, but in reality, what they've done is they've given themselves more of a profit because they're giving you a smaller amount of fries or whatever or you know, some side dish, and they're charging you a little less, but it's a lot less than they were charging a lot more than

the product's worth. And um so you know it's it's insane, but there you go. So that is where we're at the United States is the um you know, leadership role. And where we're at now we have taking center stage by now issuing US passports with gender X on it. Now. Um so now we can you know, break up to the men your X. What is that gender X. What is that it's like for non binary, non identifying individuals?

Got you? All? Right? So now there are I don't really travel much, guest, and you've been all over the world. I'm not. I've been Oceana, I've been to Hawaii. I've I've been to Canada briefly. Uh, you know, I don't. I don't actually never been to Mexico. I've been, I've been. I've been to the border many times. I've not been to Mexico. Um, explain, explain this to me, Like I'm

five years old here. So if if you have on your US passport gender X and you go to a country that believes in the birds and the bees and the innies and the outies, Um, what happens? Like? How does that work? What are they just blindly supposed to honor that and no questions asked? Or I think you would see what we got here? I think they would just laugh. Okay, I'm curious. I'm sure that's I don't know.

I don't know the rest of the world. There are some grown ups in the rest of the world that realize, hey, there's men and women and you can, you know, do what you want with that but come on, is the is the Party of Science really the party of science? Or is it just a party of selective science? Because that's what it sounds like. Science is always selective. Well, now science is whatever fits your agenda and it works both ways. Right, that works both ways? That you now

in politics, you just find a scientist. It's kind of like doctor shopping. Wait, hold on, you don't find the scientists. You find the lobbyists. You know, but it's like, you know, if you keep going to enough doctors till you get the opinion you want or I guess technically doctor shopping is just going to get pills, like right, But no,

I mean people do the same thing. You get diagnosed with something, you're like, I don't think that's right, or I don't want to have the treatment, and then you're supposed to get a second opinion, and then you get a third opinion. You go two out of three, and then you're like, all right, well two out of three is not good. That's that's try. Why don't we do three out of five and then we'll do, you know, four out of seven, then we'll go five out of nine.

If only in the early days when they designed the infrastructure of American sport. I think was the New York Giants, remember reading about this years ago. The guy that owned the New York Giants came up with the seven game best of seven format for the World Series and whatnot, which is the gold standard now for championship rounds in team sports other than obviously football. But if what if they said let's do five out of nine. I think some of the early playoffs series we're five out of nine.

It wasn't always four out of seven. H But but I'm getting carried away here. But the point is you can in science. It is. It used to be a case of, well, here's the science. But science is always evolving. And that's that's one of the weird things about the people that weaponized science. We talked a lot about how random, you know, it's they call it in exact act science

is what they call it for a reason. It's imprecise, it's inaccurate, uh, and it's it's always evolving, even things that have been confirmed seemingly there are exceptions to the rule. That's a that's a whole different cannel worms, whole different channel worms. But it's good though, I mean, well, I have I have no problems with the challenge. I think everything should be challenged and questioned. But everything Now if you do do that, then you are labeled, and then

you are condemned, which is just amazing. But I mean this is a definition by by definition, though, guests, science consists of people who are in disagreement with each other.

That is, is that not the but but but good disagreement? Yes, I mean now you have I mean not now, but you've had this in years past and decades and generations passed, like you know, the progressives of cal and u c l a God forbids someone that's eve they're down the middle of the road or right wing if they if they if they want to talk on campus, they get condemned. Student bodies will will be up in you know, arms and whatnot. You see irvines now, the same with a

couple of doctors there. It's pretty wild how this is more polarizing now than ever. But this is obviously here from the the the genesis of social media to we're at now. But I mean, this has happened in previous days, but of course just more highlighted now because of where we're at politically and and we're social media and television platforms are out nowadays all about the ratings. Man. Yeah, yeah, and they've determined the people that keep track of this

on human nature and what people respond to. And it's like I remember when I was early on in my career and people said, you're too negative, be more positive, and they should give me the list of positive talk radio show hosts that have done well. Uh, and the list is year Oh, it does not exist. Uh. And it's the whole follow the science thing which we've had shoved down our throats here over the last year and a half, two years, whatever it's been. Now, follow the science,

listen to the experts and all that. And then you you take a couple of steps back and you're like, well, who are the experts? It's subjective, right, you do what they tell you, but it's subjective. And that old line is accurate. I heard somewhere along the way ten out of ten scientists degree with whoever funded them so and

I got turned off. As you know, I love studies, academic studies, and I read a lot of these things and research done by some school in Australia, and we we do a bit we haven't done in a while. On the Saturday podcast we get scientifical and we'll go over some of the studies, and I don't do it as much and I'm not into them as much because you know, generally the it's it's one of those things like a screenplay, right, or where there's a couple of

ways to write a story from a movie. You can write a movie and then work your way through this story and then get to the ending and then come up with the ending, or you can write the ending and then write the story. And a lot of the science world now is you have the ending, and here's

how we're gonna get there. And you know, we're not gonna get bogged down with whatever the science teach, you know it leads us to we're gonna find a way to twist it into what we know the people the overlords want us to throw out, which is which is annoying and all that. But but there you go, How do we end up here? Guesco? How do we end up in that situation? I don't wait, how do we bring up this as a topic of conversation or how

do we as a society end up here? We started talking about as sports and now we've ended up doing a deep dive. I don't know. We haven't had many people complain recently about staying on script, like stay in your sports lanes. So I just feel like so I feel like me being back here on a Saturday, I must kind of ruffle the feathers a little bit and mail to you, listen to you since I was ten years old. But you said something I don't like. You know, I can't lispinion. I no longer enjoy it's a it's

it's an opinion based show. I get paid to give opinions. I didn't get your talking points memo on what I could say and not and uh, it's always fast. Well, it's like that article that was published a few days ago at the middle of the week was Sports Illustrated basically condemning journalists that we're asking Mike Tomlin about his desire want to go it's all race, yes, yes, the extreme liberal members of the media. Anything involving uh, you know,

Mike Tomlin. Yeah, God for bid. We point out that Carson Palmer, who's on one of the committees at USC to come up with a coach, is the one that tossed Tomlin's name out. Seems like a pretty credible source that he just randomly tossed Mike Toma's name out. But God forbid. Tomlin's above even being asked the question. He pisces out gold, you know, liquid gold and ships gold bricks. Mike Tomlin like, yeah, come on, uh, it's it's insane,

it's a legitimate question to ask. And now I I did a monologue prior to Tomlin coming out with his rant, which was wonderful. It's a great ramp by Mike Tomlin, and pointed out, how why would you leave the one job where you know you're not gonna be fired? Pete Carroll could be fired in Seattle and have to go back to USC with his tail between his legs. I throughout the name Cliff Kingsbury. Right now, that's not looking very good because the Cardinals are playing above their means.

They're not that good. We'll come back to Earth, will have a regression to the mean. But until that happen, bins Cliff Kingsbury. He's not gonna leave Arizona. But that's a guy that USC had in the pipe in the pipe a pipeline rather to replace Clay Healton. A couple of years ago, he was there for like a week and then he went to the NFL. So is it

wrong to ask him as the coach? It's not like the Steelers as as great as they've been in the regular season and no losing records and they've finished you know, I think five hundred once or something like that. That's Tomlin's resume. It's not like it's been a great playoff team. They've been a pretty easy out playoffs. They rolled over and played dead against the Browns in the last Let's let's calm down on that. What have you done for

me lately? And you are ultimately judged on the playoffs? Right? I don't understand It's not you know what it is though, is it's not like someone from the MAC no disrespect, but it's not like someone from Bowling Green. It's not like a reporter said, hey, would you be interested in the Bowling Green position? Like hey, would you be interested in becoming a Toledo Rocket like they said USC If someone said, hey, would you be interested in the Alabama job?

If Nick Saban retired? Would that be an insult um? Well, it depends on how well. I didn't think anything Tomins said was racist. He happened to name two or you're playing the race card. But he named two coaches who are white. So that's like, that's like the bat signal to the to the liberals in the media, like wit about it. He two coaches who happened to be white guys. So let me write my column. And it's it's so

funny to those type of columns. And we've all done it being in uh the radio business, but it's the way you get to that column. It's like so and so didn't actually say this, but you know, you know you didn't have to. It's like, come on, yeah, it's whack. But I mean, there's plenty of coaches out there that that get those offers, and and I think one would be flattered. But I don't know. I asked Chris Broussard and Rob Parker this during the middle of the week.

If you were in the position, or you can go to a usc A, Clemson, Obama, you know, I don't know, Florida, maybe Florida state where you run the entire show, like you run the university and you never have to worry about someone talking over you. Why wouldn't you do that?

Whereas if you're a head coach in the NFL. Not to say Tomlin, but if you're a head coach in the NFL, you're running the risk of a dude that's making double the salary that you are as a player, and he could just tell you to go shove it, and you have nothing. You can't say anything about it because ultimately you depend on him and he's the one getting paid to do the work that you were trying to execute. Yeah. Yeah, here's the problem, though, there's so much bullshit you have to put up with at the

college level. You don't have to put up with the n what of it. You have a segment annually every summer that is catered towards bullshit. The NFL book hum is the height of the height of play. But spoiler alert, you still have that in college. In fact, there are more college football players. We don't talk about it, but

they head. You're a meathead college guy and you're out there and there's all these beautiful people around you, and there's drugs and booze, and you're experimenting for the maybe the first time in your life. You're in a different place, and you get in all kinds of trouble and then you gotta deal with the parents and say, well, I allowed my my child to go play for you, and now he's he's doing crack at a whorehouse. What do you what's wrong with you? Right, dude? Not everyone goes

to Louisville. All right. I'm just saying, like, if you're if you had a choice between an NFL job and a college job, even a good college job, I would rather have an NFL job. As a former coach told me years ago, the difference between college and the NFL is In college, you have to go out and chase down the players. In the NFL, the players come to you. Now you only get to get a few of them, but they have the combine in in college football. Listen,

you do a lot of these high school games. How often do you see scouts or assistant coaches or even head coaches from major college programs. If you're doing some hotshot quarterback who are sitting there and you know, just just so they can be seen in the crowd and so the family and everyone can know that they're there to see player X, and it's you gotta do that. That's the kind of stuff you have to do in

the NFL. Just show up to the combine and a couple of pro days and you're pretty much there, just as you know, a side show, because it's the scouting department that does most of the heavy living on on those things. No, that's true, I will I think with today's environment with the NFL, I would agree. I think

I think working in Jacksonville is a good job. And it comes down to ownership, right I That is mostly bullcrap like because there are very few meddling owners that actually mess up the day to day operations in the fell like okay, say, are people who they think are good who are bad. So really the problem is they

hire people who suck. But it's not like you can you can win in any environment that I heard that about the Knicks with James Dolan and all that for you, Well, James Dolan still owns the Knicks, and now the Knicks are they're a mid level contender in the Eastern Conference. I heard the same thing about Donald Sterling for all of you. Well, Donald was loyal to Elgin Baylor, and Elgin as great a player as he was, he had all these lottery picks and all that and was unable

to even the l a market. Yeah, is that love? The NBA. It's Miami l A. And that's about it. You know, maybe places in Texas guys want to play right now, Yeah, but what about I mean, look at Dallas. Though Dallas is a perfect example. They they basically punted on Jimmy Johnson. I want a Super Bowl with Barry Schwitzer. But I mean that was a well oiled machine. And that's a difference. That that's different because Jerry Jones is that m there. That's but it's not like Donald Sterling

was the GM. Now. The problem he had was he would he would decide who the coach was often and he would meet with Elgin, would recommend to people and then uh Sterling would seemingly pick the worst candidate every time in those in those years. But I didn't I didn't want to move on here for se escum because there's a story I got and I sent this to you the other day, and I relate to this story. Blind Scott actually directed me to the story of all people.

This is a blind leading the blind. He didn't he didn't block your anything. No, no, no. He sent me like some like grant that was ted messages long and then blocked me. Oh yeah, now he sends he hates your politics, and so he sends a lot of email to the Fifth Hour podcast email Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. And I believe the sole purpose of those email is to annoy you, compliment that those emails are. And you don't even see these emails, so I'm the

one that sees them. But one of them caught my attention here and it's one of my favorite stories of the week. The headline on this is meet the guy who spends just a hundred fifty dollars a year to eat all of his meals at six Flags. Yeah, and this is one of us. So this is thirty three year old dude. We'll call him by his name Dylan, which is ironically the same name as Blind Scott's dog, which makes me think this might be a fake story.

But anyway, the story it was in a magazine and they claim that this, uh, this thirty three year old guys electrical engineer in Santa Clarita, which is where if you're not familiar with geography in California, if you go to six Flags, that's where you are. And uh so he pays around a hundred and fifty dollars. The story goes uh for year round access to six Flags that includes parking and two meals a day. And so this guy claims, the story goes that he for years has

paid the one fifty dollar fee. This all started in he was an intern at six Flags Magic Mountain in southern California, and he noticed the deal and then put two and two together. He's a young guy, uh and trying to make his way. They're fresh out of college, and so he laid down the money and he found the deal and he has been since that day eating his meals, almost all of his meals at six Flags Magic mount carnival food. This guy's meaning, now, guess do

they have that deal? Can we confirm that they have six Flags has the one meal? I gotta I gotta look into that. How is this any How is this any different? Though from your twenties when you were crashing Dodgers Stadium in the Great Western This is how I relate to the story, because I didn't even have to pay a hundred and fifty dollars a year. I just had to pay for gas. But when I was early on in the media, back in the glory days of being in the media, when I first started, everything was

free all the food and I covered games. My job, my first real radio job. My first real radio job. I was an engineer for San Diego State basketball, which was a disaster and those games were on Cogo AM in San Diego. But I didn't That didn't last long and then I got job as a reporter for my Nighty Nighty in San Diego, but covering the l A market. And so they assigned me that give me my schedule and be at a King's game, or a Lakers game, or a Clippers game, or college game or during the summer,

Dodgers and Angels and mixing. You know, there was actually no football because in those days the only football team was the Chargers, and so I go to those games sometimes, but no NFL football in l a H. So anyway, I go to these games and I was like I was in my twenties. I was a fat guy. Everything was free a dot. The O'Malley's owned the Dodgers. They had steak prime rib quite a bit. They had fish Fridays because O'Malley very religious to get eat fish on Friday,

good Catholic, So he had that going on. And USC football. This is when they were terrible and they had been good, but they were still hanging on. This is before Pete Carroll. They had this run of coaches and they had the the carving stations. I remember this in the in the press box at the Colosseum, the old Colosseum, and there was a chef with a big you know those big chef hats, you know, the big white they're like professional chef and big knives, and just they'd be they'd be

nice roast turkey, there'd be prime rib. It was just outstanding, just amazing. And uh so yeah, I did live that life. Uh and I ate better food than this guy. But that's that's a sneaky good hack. That is a sneaky good hack for this this particular person. So I'm I'm now looking here at season passes or I'm curious if I want to see what's going on here. You know who's really good at at providing food for the media. Low key is the Anaheim Ducks. I've not been to

a Duck game since they had Paul Korea. Oh man, we'll see the Ducks do it right though. The Ducks will have typically some some snacks throughout the game. Kind of give me the break that's it, like the pretzels, the popcorn popcorn pretzel, popcorn pretzel solid waters. Of course that had the bulls. Then they'd also have either if it's night game, dinner, you know, lunch obviously, if it's an afternoon game, they would have that. But once you got into the third period, getting to the cookies bad.

They still have the cookies. Yeah, and then that was, oh my god, those the not the cinnamon. What was the the sugar cookies peanut butter, peanut butter. Oh man, you I might have to go to an Anaheim Ducks game. I don't even know who's over there. I couldn't name one player of the team. I might have to go out there and make an appearance, a rare and appropriate appearance, first time in over twenty years, to go see it du just cookies and have a snack on the on

the uh. This is the actual website for six Flags uh, six Flags Great America. It says here, uh, we introduce season dining passes. Because food at six Flags Great America is not always inexpensive. You could easily spend twenty dollars per person every time he was at the park. A season dining pass makes eating at the park almost more affordable than eating at home. And so here here it is by Originally this was two hundred nine dollars, but now they've lowered it because the year is almost over.

So it's eighty nine dollars. You buy Deluxe Dining Pass and you get free upgrade to exclusive Premium benefits. The better it's lunch, dinner, and a snack each visit. Free Premium upgrade lets you eat at every six Flags theme park. Free Premium upgrade includes a free season drink bottle. So yeah, so you get to drink and you get the two meals and a snack on this one for ninety dollars. Now it was two hundred nine dollars. The other one is up to like a hundred ninety dollars, but you

get lunch and a snack. So the guy must be doing de luxe thing. But still two years what kind I've not been to six Flags? What kind of food do they just? I imagine it's the same standard standard carnival food that you would get, which you're talking about your what we just mentioned that, the pretzels, the nachos, that kind of thing. Yeah, I don't know that's a good question. I haven't been. I haven't been to I haven't been to an amusement park or carnival probably in

a good fifteen twenty years. They have a wide I'm looking here at the meal plan. If I'm looking at the right one, this has a good selection. There's big lose Italian beef. Uh. This must be a different six Flags because but this is this, This is on the six Flags website. It says here they have claim Jumper, which is a chain hasn't done well recently. There's a Moose Burger Lodge barbecue brisket sliders. I feel like we're doing this thing we did a couple of weeks ago

with our friend Alfa Alieno Piner. They have big barbecue brisket sliders, cole slaw and waffle fries. What else do we have? Let's see macho nacho, Nice nacho nachos with steak, two dollar upgrade chicken strip meal. Johnny Rockets is their great American dog house, Mac and cheese, hot dog and fries. Primo's Pizzeria. That's there. You can get cheese, pizza, slice and fries, garlic knots or salad. I'm fasting right now, so all this sounds really good. This is right in

my wheelhouse. If you like that giant Carnival turkey leg, they have that blue ribbon, you can get that as well. Guest, that's on the on the rundown. Uh, there's some decent stuff here. I could do that. That's not that the guy's complaining foods unhealthy. Yeah, you know it's one man's unhealthy is another man's healthy. Yeah. Just adding more steps into your day and um, you know, work out a little bit harder. Well. The good thing about that is that an amusement parks you get a lot of steps.

I don't. I go to Disneyland usually once a year because my wife loves Disneyland and I can figure out a way to get there for not that much once a year. So I go once a year. And it's awesome. Man. We we started like eight in the morning, and they're there until our legs fall off, and you get so many steps. And the great thing about going to an amusement park early, No one wants to get there early. You get on any ride you want if you get there at the crack of non and and then you

beat the rush hour. The way to do it, all right, I think that's enough, guest gon, Yes, and we reached the end of the road on the Saturday podcast. All right, very good. We'll have the mailbag on Sunday. How exciting is that you're gonna be on the mailbag on Sunday Gascon? You might, I might. Uh yeah, Well we'll talk about this because, uh well there's lots of things to talk about with Benny versus the Penny too. Yes, that's right, Benny versus the Penny, which was on Friday, this of

course being on Saturday. Anyway, have a wonderful rest of your Saturday. Tell a friend about the podcast. Don't forget cameo dot com.
