1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:01,440
Speaker 1: Kabooms.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 2: of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers.

7
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: In the penthouse.

00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,159

Speaker 1: this Sunday, the sixteenth day of February, Fresh Pod every Day.

13
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: Are some people, Danny G accuse us of recording these

14
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: podcasts on Thursday or Friday and not actually doing them

15
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: every single day, which, as you know, is bullshoy.

16
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 3: Danny, You've done some podcast like two weeks in advance.

17
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: That's a lie in fact, to prove, to verify to

18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: that schmuck Terry in England, that dope okay, that this

19
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: is a legitimate podcast and not something that was done

20
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: days ago. We are here early at an ungodly hour

21
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: on Sunday here to do this podcast. And I wanted

22
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: to point out that while I did not watch it

23
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: live last night because I actually have a life. I

24
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: did see the clips of the Shenanigans at the All

25
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: Star Game in San Francisco on All Star Saturday Night,

26
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: when to my knowledge, this is the first known cheating

27
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: scandal at the All Star Saturday Night fast. I mean,

28
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: I did famously have the story of the dunk contest

29
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: that was already given out before it was over to

30
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: Blake Griffin of the People's Team years ago.

31
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 4: But this is next level.

32
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: A former Clipper, part of the Lob City vintage of

33
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: the Clippers, Chris Paul and Victim when by Yama, these

34
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: two dopes ended up getting disqualified for cheating at the

35
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: skills coop. But like I get, like, what are you doing, Danny.

36
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 4: I'm trying to wrap my head around this.

37
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: They were trying to save time in the skills challenge,

38
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: and so instead of actually attempting to shoot the ball,

39
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: they just tossed.

40
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 4: It blindly to the rim.

41
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: And it's like this weird fugacy thing where you had

42
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: to shoot three pointers from the wing, you had to

43
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: shoot a jumper from the elbow, and there's like a

44
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: there was like a spinning windmill thing, like a miniature

45
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: golf course, and they just they didn't bother with that

46
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: because they just trying to get through the thing.

47
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 4: I guess to save time. But I mean it's the

48
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 4: hood spot.

49
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: That's the word I will use, Danny, that these guys stop, well,

50
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: let me just lf around and nobody cares.

51
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 4: I just want to win this thing. I'm like God

52
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 4: at his next level. And the integrity I know.

53
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, All Star Weekend for the NBA had hundreds of

54
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 3: millions of viewers.

55
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 4: I'm sure. Yeah, no, this is one of those things. Man.

56
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, Danny, but I used to

57
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: on Saturday. I love the pomp and circumstance of the

58
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: three point contest and really what sold me originally was

59
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: the dunk contest, and I really I was all about it.

60
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: These are great events, This is wonderful and how great

61
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: is it?

62
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 4: Though?

63
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: The NBA and I talked about this on yesterday's podcast.

64
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: They they had meetings with the players to try to

65
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: convince them to actually take it seriously, to take their

66
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: job seriously, because they futs around so much at the

67
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: All Star break that like it's kind of important for

68
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: the business to have the All Star Weekend and they

69
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: get a cheating scandal in the main event. Well not,

70
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: it was not even the main event to me. The

71
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: three point contest, which I guess Tyler Hero won. I

72
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: saw some clips of that. He won.

73
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 4: People were hoping that Damian Lillard would win, and he

74
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 4: did not.

75
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: I did not get the three pete so much like

76
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: Kansas City, he came up blamed. But the dunk contest,

77
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: I got nothing against Mac McClung.

78
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 4: But that's embarrassing.

79
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you do, racist, I come on, And plus they're

80
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: saying it. People were sending me. I got two people.

81
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: I say people too, that's more than one person's people.

82
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: Two people sent me the link to the dunk and

83
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: he jumped over a car, and They're like, it's an

84
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: historic dunk, And I'm like, didn't Blake Griffin do the

85
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: same thing in a Kia commercial back in the day.

86
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, Blake Griffin cheated. That was the first All Star

87
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 3: weekend scandal back in the day. Well, that was not

88
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 3: a legitimate leap over a car when Griffin did it.

89
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 3: It took a different white guy in McClung to do

90
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: it the right way.

91
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: He didn't did the same thing. What are you talking about?

92
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 2: Oh?

93
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 3: Not the same dunk. Go back and look at Blake

94
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: Griffin's dunk. It was over the front of the hood,

95
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 3: not over the car. I say, basic bull crap.

96
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: The problem is this, you had You're the NBA All

97
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: Star Game. You had a G League player G League.

98
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: The raining MVP of the G League won your dun coin.

99
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 3: Well, the best twenty twenty four player drafted is Brownie James,

100
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 3: and you know he's a G League guy, so come on.

101
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, three consecutive slam dunk contest wins for Mac McClung

102
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: and he can't get like.

103
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 4: Actual NBA minutes there.

104
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: I mean, god, oh man, oh I did see he

105
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: donated the car he used to to a home in

106
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: Virginia's I don't know whatever.

107
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 3: One big takeaway, Kia has come a long way when

108
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 3: Blake Griffin did it, that car was ugly and Carl

109
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 3: McClung jumped over legitimately looked a lot nicer, sweeter riot.

110
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,799
Speaker 4: You're looking to go buy a car something you were. Yeah,

111
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 4: I still think k is kind of cheap. They look better.

112
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 4: They're one of those brands where they've improved.

113
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, is there anything that is cheap in automobiles at

114
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: this point?

115
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,799
Speaker 3: I know nothing except maybe those seeing those little tiny cars.

116
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 3: There's one parked outside Costco. They were advertising it. It

117
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 3: looks like a Santa Anna wind could push it over.

118
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, looks like if you get into a fender bender,

119
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: you're dead, is what it looks like. I've seen those cars.

120
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: It's that's it game over all. Right, Well, we have

121
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: a mail to get to. I I you know, I

122
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: did want to mention Valentine's weekend. I ranted, I guys

123
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: were busting my balls.

124
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 4: Dan.

125
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: I made a heart shaped pizza. We had pizza night

126
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: on Friday. I talked about that. I saw the pictures.

127
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, did I lose my man card? Danny? Is that it?

128
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 4: Is it done? I now officially a wood. No. You

129
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 4: always say rare and appropriate.

130
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 3: And this is one of those weekends where you got

131
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 3: to let romance lead the way.

132
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's not like I went out and bought

133
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: ten million bouquets of flowers. And I mean, I just

134
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: I was making a pizza and I said, you know,

135
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: the great thing when you were in the kitchen, the

136
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: culinary arts, which are I've become a fan of in

137
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: recent years, and you can do whatever you want. You're

138
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: the one making the pie, so we like, Hey, I

139
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: thought it'd be a nice little touch. My wife's come

140
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: under the weather this weekend, so cheer up a little bit,

141
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: and I think we'll probably end up really celebrating Valentine's

142
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: weekend more next weekend. Now, I mean, obviously this weekend's over.

143
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: Now it's Sunday, so I don't think I got back

144
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: to work tonight, exactly it. For years you've admitted that

145
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: you wait to get the half off, Candy. Well, listen,

146
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: there are advantages to being someone that is selective and

147
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: waits for the property. But this was not my idea, Danny.

148
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: This was my wife's Like, well, I'm not feeling great

149
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: this weekend. You know, I always want to I want to.

150
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 4: Be in a good frame of mind, and all, you

151
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 4: know how people are.

152
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: I'm generally just kind of drudge on, and I'm like,

153
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: I don't like complain.

154
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 4: Like I've had this phlem situation.

155
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: Tom Looney got me sick, that schmuck on the TV show,

156
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: the only one I've been around who's sick the last

157
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: like two months and that, and it's I'm not contagious.

158
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: So I sit in that studio near him, and of

159
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: course he gets me sick. So but I've been fighting

160
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: this thing, I mean, sucking on garlic and doing that.

161
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: But I might just whatever, just do the show and

162
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: that's it. But your weekend, Danny, and you were very busy.

163
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: I know that it's some odd odd scheduling this weekend, but

164
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: you productive Valentine's Day.

165
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I think I've seen the inside of enough

166
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 3: airplanes to last a couple of months. Where would you

167
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 3: take your girm log Valentine's weekend? It took her to

168
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 3: San Jose, California.

169
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: Wow. Man, you know your way to San Jose. You

170
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: know your way to San Jose. But you think of romance,

171
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: you think of love, you think of San Jose.

172
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 4: You think you really do.

173
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 3: And in fact, I'm sitting in the lobby right now

174
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 3: of this nice hotel in sunny Vale, California. It was

175
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 3: sunny yesterday. We had a little family get together on

176
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 3: my mom's side, and so I got to see my

177
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 3: mom and a couple of aunts and uncles and cousins

178
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 3: and their little baby's kids running around the park and

179
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 3: CoA was running laps. He knocked out like a sack

180
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: of bricks. He was so tired from running around at

181
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 3: the park. All afternoon and then we ate. You would

182
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 3: love this. We ate out of Chicago pizzeria.

183
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: Oh well, you think Chicago pizza, You think sunny Vale, California.

184
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: In fact, a lot of people don't know this, dandy,

185
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: but the Chicago style pizza actually came from a guy

186
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: from sunny Vale. Wrong.

187
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 3: You know what we do when the family gets together, though,

188
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: we do like a whiffle ball game. And my brother

189
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 3: he's into my older brother, he's into this. I think

190
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 3: I told the story the last time we did a

191
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 3: family barbecue. He was arguing balls and strikes. He was

192
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 3: bitching and complaining about foul balls because he put a

193
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 3: jacket on both sides for the foul lines. And today

194
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 3: he took it next level. Imagine me pitching the whiffle ball.

195
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 3: I was throwing a mean curveball with it. He was

196
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 3: on his second strike. I threw the third one bend

197
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 3: right down the pike. He hits it back to the pitcher,

198
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 3: which is me. I corral this whiffleball, toss it to

199
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 3: first base. He is sprinting the first base like his

200
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 3: life depends on it, because he is way too competitive,

201
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 3: even with a stupid family wiffleball game. Where he should

202
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 3: really be going half speed. This dude, it was like

203
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 3: he was trying out for the LA Dodgers. So he

204
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 3: sprints the first base, steps on the bag really hard

205
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 3: and bites it rans on his shoulder. Stayed down and

206
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 3: at first I thought he was being dramatic. Turns out

207
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 3: after a trip to the er broken clavicle.

208
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: What in a family whiffle ball game?

209
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, they had to help him up. Well, he

210
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 3: was in pain. It looked like he wanted to cry.

211
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 3: Is he younger or older than us?

212
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 4: He is, He's about four years older than us.

213
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: Oh man, Ah, dude, is this what we have to

214
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 1: look forward to in the next few years? He follows

215
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,599
Speaker 1: the Medello marketing campaign. He's got that fighting.

216
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 4: Spirit, which is this.

217
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: Is not good at a freaking WI football game.

218
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 4: What are you doing?

219
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's a painful history. I've talked to

220
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: some athletes that have had that over the years. That's

221
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: a mother blankety blankety blankety blankety situation. Wow.

222
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 3: My sister in law sent a picture of the X

223
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 3: ray says it is a broken clavicle. He's going to

224
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 3: be sent to an orthopedic surgeon. We won't know more

225
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 3: until he sees them and everybody's commenting on him being

226
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 3: a weekend Warrior, and they say, Ty goes to the

227
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 3: runner Ben because man, I got that ball over the

228
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 3: first base quick and right as his foot hit the

229
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 3: bag way too hard.

230
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 4: It was bam bam. We needed review.

231
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 3: And the way he was running, the way he's so

232
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 3: competitive in a dumb wiffleball game, you would have thought

233
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 3: he was in a major league game that had review.

234
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: Wow, that is next level.

235
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 4: I'm in.

236
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: And does that end now the Danny g family tradition

237
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: of the whiffleball game. With that, you believe that will

238
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: be the final whiffleball game.

239
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 3: I don't think so, because his left arm is what's

240
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 3: in a sling right now.

241
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 4: He sent a picture.

242
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 3: He said that he told his wife he could still

243
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 3: pitch with his right arm tomorrow.

244
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: Okay, so at least he still wants to go back

245
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: in that. He's not like an NBA player, which would

246
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: be that's it.

247
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 4: I'm done, I'm out, exactly.

248
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 3: No, this game is going to continue as soon as

249
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 3: the side of the family gets together again.

250
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 4: Wow, you have.

251
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: Got to be kidding me on that note. We must

252
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: bring in that's that's wild now, let's bring in Ohio

253
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: and it'll be even more wild. It's all right, thank you, Ohio.

254
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: All these are actual questions by actual listeners. And if

255
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: you're a fan of this podcast and you've never ever

256
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: sent content in, I get it. I look at the numbers,

257
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: and based on how many people are listening to the

258
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: podcast and whatnot, we thank you, and we know that

259
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: most of you listen and do not much like Radio Davy.

260
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: Most people listen, they don't actually interact with the show.

261
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: That's generally how that goes. And so the same thing

262
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: here in the podcast world, Mike. But if you want

263
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: to email in a question, you can do it right

264
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: now for next week or maybe like you wake up

265
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: with a bug up you're a keyster on Wednesday and

266
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: you want to send a question in or Tuesday, whatever,

267
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter when you send it, and just getting

268
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: in by the weekend generally. So I kind of compile

269
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: these things. I know we're doing this early here on Sunday,

270
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: but I usually on Thursday or Friday. Put everything together, now, Mike,

271
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: and Fullerton writes in and he says, Ben and Danny

272
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: g now that season two of Benny Versus the Penny

273
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: is in the books. It's still time to see it, though.

274
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: Mike gets on Peacock. It'll be on there probably for

275
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: the next couple of days, and then that's it, he says,

276
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: I gotta know what your favorite episode the season is.

277
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 4: For me, it has to be Week seven's.

278
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: It maye me laugh, it made me cry, it made

279
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: me think, it made me feel things I've never felt before.

280
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 4: Truly a master piece. Now, Mike, I think you're bullshitting me.

281
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: I don't think there's nothing I remember about Week seven

282
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: that was particularly all that good. Anyways, thanks for another

283
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: wonderful season. County down the days until season three. My

284
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: favorite episode was actually an episode we had no games.

285
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: My favorite episode was the week before the Super Bowl

286
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: when there was that dead week and we went in

287
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: there and just hamming it out, and they played some

288
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: bluep tapes that I laughed at. The Danny DeVito one

289
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: I thought was pretty cool, and uh, some of the

290
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: other blooper stuff, like I liked that. I mean, I

291
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: was getting my ass kicked by the freaking Penny. During

292
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: the course of the regular season, I did win the preseason,

293
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: so I won that. I won the postseason head ahead,

294
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: but the regular season just everything I was doing. It

295
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: didn't It didn't work out my way, But you know,

296
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: generally speaking, I thought, to answer your question, I thought

297
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: the week before the super Bowl was was a lot

298
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: of fun. Even this past episode, the final, the season finale,

299
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: I thought we had we had, yeah, a good.

300
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 4: Time with I think your guys Zoom episode was the best. Yeah.

301
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: We had to do it from home because the freaking fires. Yeah,

302
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: the damn TV show from my house.

303
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 3: Wait till NBC finds out they don't even need a

304
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 3: set for you guys.

305
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: Trust me, we were thinking we were wandering around. We

306
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: walked in the rain at Universal the other day and

307
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: we're like, well, we don't know. I mean, we might

308
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: end up just doing the show from the house. Knows

309
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: maybe you know, buy bigger, brighter lights or whatever. Anyway,

310
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: Alf wrights in, He says, Ben, we know you don't

311
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: do shout outs on the radio and other morning you

312
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: do type things, but this podcast is anything but predictable,

313
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: and you've been known to go off a book from

314
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: time to time. So in that spirit, Alf writes in,

315
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: I'd like to send a long distance dedication word of

316
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: the week to another listener on this podcast. Loray, the

317
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: word I'd like you to do a deeper dive on

318
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: is officionato because we all know it's not really what

319
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: she initially thought.

320
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 4: It was the official person who.

321
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: Gives the nod that's from your loyal million now, so

322
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: this is We did a bit on the show this

323
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: week and Alf has another question.

324
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 4: We'll save that for a second, but Alf heard the bit.

325
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 4: We had a sound.

326
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys played this on Covino

327
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: and Rich, but there was some audio from the NBA.

328
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: I think it was Austin Reeves had a big game

329
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: for the Lakers, and then one of the reporters Minimon mcminnon.

330
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: I know the guy actually, yeah, something like that. So

331
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: he asked the question and he used the word aficionado,

332
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: and Austin Reeves was dumbfounded. I had never heard that word,

333
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: didn't know that word. Loved the word, and so that

334
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: I asked Lorena and she didn't know what the word

335
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: was either, So I was like, aficionado.

336
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 4: Was an odd word for her.

337
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: So I looked it up in the able to do

338
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: this as the bonus word all the week, Austin Reeves

339
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: Word of the Week and also goes out to Loraina

340
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 1: says late It originated Davis's Latin a late fourteenth century

341
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: early fifteenth century for mental state, disposition, mood, state of mind,

342
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: or body, and so it comes from that, and then

343
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: over the years.

344
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 4: It got twisted.

345
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: Around year by year, and in eighteen forty five the

346
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: Spanish word aficionato meaning amateur, but it was really for

347
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: a devotee of bullfighting. So in it started in the

348
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: first recorded use of the word written was in Spanish

349
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: in nothing before fifteen fifty five. They say it comes

350
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: from late fourteenth century, but they didn't write a lot

351
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: of stuff down there. They didn't have a lot of

352
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: paper and pens and things like that, and so in

353
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: eighteen forty five it was switched over to aficionato, meaning

354
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: a fan of bullfighting and all that. Obviously it's been

355
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: twisted over the years even more since then, and it

356
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: means expert a you know, the modern modern definition.

357
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 4: So there it is the word of the week, which.

358
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: Originally comes from Latin, and then in Spain was bullfighting

359
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: in eighteen forty five, and now just means like an expert,

360
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: a insider, a know it all, et cetera. Alf also said,

361
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: having you two gentlemen, have you recovered from your food

362
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: comas from all the half price candy you bought this weekend.

363
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: I'm not missing you. I'm still working on a bag

364
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: of Reese's peanut butter trees that I got from Bjy's

365
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: that is a Costco competitor the day after Christmas. Yeah,

366
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: so I did not have a chance to really buy it.

367
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: I might go out later today, alf or tomorrow. I

368
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: think the big discount will likely be on Monday tomorrow

369
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: because it's Valentine's weekend, Danny.

370
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 4: I mean some people celebrate, you know.

371
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 1: I know Valentine's Day was back on Friday, but some

372
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: people started to They started celebrating late.

373
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 4: Maybe they didn't buy stuff until Saturday. So I went.

374
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 4: I bought a card, but.

375
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: I mean it was pretty slammed when I went out,

376
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Anyway, let's your conspiracy theory, Bobby

377
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: writes in from Parts Unknown. He says, hey, Bandon, Danny,

378
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: there is now there's no way, no way the Chiefs games.

379
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 4: Have been rigged this year.

380
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I really don't think that they think we're

381
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: the that's stupid anymore, he says. The camp with cameras everywhere,

382
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: social media, all of that at least. I hope the

383
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: NFL doesn't believe were that naive? I think that all

384
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: went away with sports after the jfk assassination. Bobby writes

385
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: in from Parts Unknown, says, or did it overthinking?

386
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 3: Sorry, you have to admit that the Chiefs did receive

387
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 3: some timely calls. I think that's the key word, timely.

388
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 3: And so was it overblown?

389
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, the numbers indicated there was nothing really going on.

390
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 4: There are a.

391
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 3: Lot of bags except the postseason. Man, there were numbers.

392
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: I don't even think it's true this year. We had

393
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 1: the numbers before the Super Bowl. It wasn't like it

394
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: wasn't any outrageous or anything.

395
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 4: It wasn't ungodly, but there was a difference. Really, what's

396
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 4: going on?

397
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: And this is going to be a problem forever, Bobby

398
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: is it's engagement farming.

399
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 4: You get people people want to believe that it's right now.

400
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 4: I'm not naive to think that there aren't things.

401
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: I think from a fixed standpoint, we just saw the

402
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: the NBA's investigating, or the FBI is investigating because that

403
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: Toronto Raptors guy that was fixing props and got dinged.

404
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: And then there's other NBA players that are being investigated

405
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: and all that. Like that kind of stuff I think

406
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: is widespread, But like as a whole fixing and the

407
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: outcome of a game and a league being involved in it,

408
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 1: It's not.

409
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 4: Like it's impossible. I believe that. Again, the NBA.

410
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: We had Tim Donnie on this podcast years ago and

411
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 1: he's talked about some shenanigans in basketball. There's there's definitely

412
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: I'm not naive to think it couldn't happen, and it

413
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be that many people.

414
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 4: The problem is if one.

415
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: Person spills the beans, you know, the whole thing, the

416
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: thing goes sideways. But it just the Chiefs conspiracy stuff

417
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: didn't It didn't really resonate with me. I love Kansas City.

418
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: I've been to Kansas City many times, well many times,

419
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: been a few times over there, I three times, and

420
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: I always enjoyed my visits to Kansas City, the good people.

421
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: I have friends there, obviously, the male chickens. I just

422
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: all the places. You got to think, financially, for the NFL,

423
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: where does it make the most sense to rig something.

424
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: It would be, if anything, for the giants of the

425
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: Jets and the amount of people that live in the

426
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: New York Tri State area. The fan base is there.

427
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: Kansas City is just not a big enough location. I

428
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: don't care that you throw Taylor Swift.

429
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 4: In there and all that.

430
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: It's just a it's a numbers game with the amount

431
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 1: of people that live there in that market compared to

432
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: other places. If you're going to go that far and

433
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 1: try to rig something, you would do it for LA

434
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: or New York or Chicago. That would be the one

435
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 1: you would go for because that's where you get the

436
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: most bang for your buck. Not Kansas City. It's just

437
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 1: not a big enough location. I don't I don't.

438
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 4: Think I hear you on that.

439
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 3: I think the conspiracy theorists were like, well, look, how

440
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 3: many over one hundred million dollars is what they're saying

441
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift brought to the NFL, and so I think

442
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 3: outs where people's heads were out, like, oh, they want

443
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 3: her to be on the screen, you know, in her

444
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 3: suite for the Super Bowl.

445
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: Then they only show her like twice or once during

446
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl because.

447
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, there wasn't much for her to celebrate

448
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 3: in the last time they showed her, she looked like

449
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 3: a sad puppy dog.

450
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, yeah, I get you.

451
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: Know you went all that money spent like six hundred

452
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: thousand dollars to runt a home in New Orleans to

453
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: watch the game was over at halftime. Anyway, who else

454
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: do we have? Let's see page down and you want

455
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: to read here, Let's see here's one mail bag. Marcus

456
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 1: from Bruceville, Eddie, Texas says, question for Danny, with him

457
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: being a hip hop DJ in the past, what did

458
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: he think of the Kendrick Lamar halftime show? Does it

459
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: seem a little corny to use a national stage to

460
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: perform the disc track towards Drake when he, meaning Kendrick

461
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: has been a well established rapper for multiple years with

462
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: huge I would think he would take that platform to

463
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: promote his billboard hits rather than a disc track that

464
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 1: just gives more fame and notoriety towards Drake, even if

465
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: he's taking shots at him. Well, this is any publicity

466
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: is good publicity. From Marcus, your thoughts dating I liked

467
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: the halftime shown.

468
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 3: Was it the best thing possible for a Super Bowl

469
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 3: with that wide range of an audience?

470
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 4: Maybe not.

471
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 3: There were a lot of metaphors and deeper meanings to

472
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 3: things going on during that performance, so that part of it.

473
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 3: If you didn't know the background, if you didn't know

474
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 3: what was going on with Kendrick Lamar, then you're kind

475
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 3: of left out. It's almost like when you listen to

476
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 3: a radio show and they have inside jokes and you

477
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 3: feel like you're not part of it. With that said,

478
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 3: I think maybe it needs to be a bit of

479
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 3: a simpler show for that large of an audience.

480
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 4: But as a hip hop fan, I liked it. You

481
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 4: enjoyed it very good.

482
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: Just some more. It's the mail bag here On the Sunday,

483
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: Kevin writes in from Kansas. He says, Ben and Danny

484
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: g I enjoy hearing about your school days of yesteryear.

485
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: What subject that you worked hard to understand but you

486
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: never never clicked for you? For me, it was calculus.

487
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: I tried, but it just never never clicked us. From Kevin, Yeah,

488
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: it was kind of similar to you, Kevin, math like

489
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: basic math. I learned math from baseball stats. I'm such

490
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: a loser, That's how I learned math.

491
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 4: I also learned.

492
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 1: Geography from sports, like different cities around them. I'm very

493
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: good with American geography because I I knew like where

494
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: everyone's minor league baseball teams were when I was a kid,

495
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 1: and I was like.

496
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 4: That was I was that guy.

497
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: But math, higher level math, No, like I'd go to

498
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: do basic math. I call it malormath, which is a

499
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: version of math. Kevin and I can do like baseball stats, percentages,

500
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: I'm okay with. But yeah, the higher levels of math.

501
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: My dad was a mathematician. My dad was a math

502
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: major in college. So it was very disappointing to the

503
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: family that I just could not master the higher levels

504
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: of math. But that was not my that was not

505
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: my thing.

506
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 4: What about you, Danny, Yeah, I mean, I'm with you.

507
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 3: I was really great with reading and writing if it

508
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 3: was anything to do with that, it was pretty much

509
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,479
Speaker 3: an easy a for me when it came to math.

510
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 3: Once I got to algebra, which was in seventh grade. Man,

511
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 3: I had this teacher. I wish I could remember his name,

512
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 3: but he was a dick and you had to show

513
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 3: all your work and that was hard, you know, because

514
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,959
Speaker 3: sometimes you could get to the answer without having to

515
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 3: show every little way you got there. But he wanted

516
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 3: to see every problem written out from start to finish.

517
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 3: And I'll never forget he always told the class I'm

518
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 3: like Missouri to show me state you have to show

519
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 3: me your work.

520
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 4: Hey, I use that line too, that's a good line. Now.

521
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 3: He was one of the guys that said, are you

522
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 3: going to carry a calculator around with you your entire life?

523
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 4: Well, what do we all have in our hand now? Yeah?

524
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Well we're around the same age. So yeah,

525
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 4: I remember that.

526
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: You know, you're not going to be able to just

527
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: have a calculator wherever you go. But they were big,

528
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: massive calculator. They were huge calculators.

529
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 3: Well, I mean there were Cassio calculator watches, and there

530
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 3: were smaller calculators. But math teachers back then, at that time,

531
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 3: in the early nineties, we're trying to tell us things like, well,

532
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 3: you can't always have a calculator in your pocket. Little

533
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 3: did they know we'd all have an iPhone in our

534
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 3: hands right now at all times.

535
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, the only thing that they got right was

536
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: clean up after yourself. Your mom's not going to be

537
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: following you around your entire life. Your mom's not here,

538
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: Like that's true. You know, that's ack. That is an

539
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: accurate statement for sure.

540
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 4: That one. And don't pass svenreal diseases. Yeah, I try

541
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:58,959
Speaker 4: not to share that.

542
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ryan writes in from the Commonwealth. He says, Ben,

543
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: you mentioned, Hey Bandondanny, you mentioned the last couple of

544
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: pot episodes. You've been into cooking as someone who got

545
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: just got into cooking. I've mastered these seasoning and cooking

546
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: of salmon.

547
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 4: What is your favorite thing to cook?

548
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: And if you have any recipes, please send them my

549
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: way find other things to try. Always interested in what

550
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: people like to cook.

551
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 4: That's from Ryan.

552
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ryan, I don't have any off the top of

553
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: my head. Pretty much. My palate is pretty simple. I

554
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: like to make things that cost a lot of money

555
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: when I go out and try to save money by

556
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: making them at home. I did a lot of baking

557
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: for years, and then I've kind of shifted over more

558
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: because that stuff gets you fat, so shifted over to

559
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: cooking meals. And so it's a lot of burgers, smash burgers,

560
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: which are pretty easy to make. You don't really need

561
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: a recipe on that, a lot of smash burgers, a

562
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: lot of cheese, steak, chicken, fingers, pizza, those are the things.

563
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: Chicken during the week, I do a lot of grilled

564
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: chicken because I think that's somewhat healthy. I've fetched around

565
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: with potatoes I'm trying to master an alf actually sent

566
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: me a recipe for fries and that's way too complicated.

567
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: Alf the one that you sent me, and uh, you know,

568
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: I found I found this cheat code which I'm thinking

569
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: about messing around with Danny. Supposedly, it's the type of

570
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: potato I've used, rust rusted. I think that's how you

571
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: said rusted potatoes. I've used those for a while, and

572
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: that's what you get in the grocery store. But there's

573
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: a type of potato which is like a cousin of

574
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: the rusted potato, and you use that. I guess McDonald's

575
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: and some of the big companies use that. It's commercially

576
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: produced potato. Because of the Internet, you can get it now.

577
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: And so I'm thinking about buying some of those they're

578
00:30:55,280 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: a little pricey for like a pound, and getting some

579
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: of those potatoes and then seeing if that's the difference.

580
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: Because I've done everything these recipes say I want crunchy

581
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: fried potatoes like French fries or freedom fries as we

582
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: call because we're Americans. But I try to get my

583
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: hands on it, and they don't quite come out the.

584
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 4: Way they should.

585
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: They just a little off and I've followed. I'm very

586
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: meticulous when i'm cooking, and I've followed everything. I've done,

587
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: the temperature the way it's supposed to be. I've tried

588
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: everything with the tow with the paper towel, you're supposed

589
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: to get the water off the potatoes, and and so

590
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: I've been unable to master that. I think it's a

591
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,959
Speaker 1: potato issue. So I'm going to try these other potatoes,

592
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: hopefully this week. So you know, I'm a loser if

593
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: I'm buying special potatoes that are only available in the

594
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: commercial world that you can't buy at the grocery store.

595
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 4: Because I want to have the next level fries. So

596
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 4: that's why. Have you ever been to a fancy restaurant

597
00:31:55,440 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 4: and ordered roasted fingerling potatoes? I have had those.

598
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was at a fancy restaurant,

599
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: but that long is that your Is that your favorite?

600
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: Is that your?

601
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 4: Those are good?

602
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: Yeah?

603
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 4: Those?

604
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 3: They're crisp on the outside and still soft in the middle,

605
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 3: and then all the seasoning. And I had some in

606
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:22,719
Speaker 3: New Orleans during Super Bowl weekend. They were preparing so well, butter, garlic, powder,

607
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 3: ground paprika, battalion seasoning, salt, and pepper.

608
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: No, that sounds great, but my issue is the is

609
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: and the preparation. Like there's one recipe high end potatoes.

610
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if this was when Alf sent me.

611
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: I've seen so manyse frickin' recipes on the YouTube or whatever,

612
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: and everyone's got their own cheat code. But this one

613
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: involves like cutting the potatoes, air sealing them in a

614
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: plastic bag, cooking them in the plastic bag in water

615
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: for like twenty minute or ten minutes, and then putting

616
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: them in a freezer.

617
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 4: Just way too complicated, Like, dude, I just want some potatoes.

618
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 3: I don't want to it sounds like an episode of Dexter,

619
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 3: like you're disposing of a body.

620
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So I'm like, I guess

621
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: that's a French way to cook, where you make everything

622
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: in bulk and then you but you have to put

623
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: it in a sealed plastic bag air tight. And no,

624
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: I'm not doing.

625
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 4: That all right.

626
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: Next up is a branding from Wisconsin. He says, Hey, guys,

627
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: he said I can read this on the on the podcast.

628
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: He's looking for some input. So I thought, you know,

629
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: he's a question about the business. I thought we'd get

630
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: into that. Brandon says, I love radio. My brother, who

631
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: played in the NFL, has been a reoccurring guest on

632
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: a Wisconsin media company which broadcasts statewide. Just recently they

633
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: asked if I would join the spot with my brother

634
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: to talk about live sports growing up in a small

635
00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:00,479
Speaker 1: town in Wisconsin. It went well, and he says Brandon,

636
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: to the point where we are going to be recording

637
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: a pilot for a proposed Saturday show on the network.

638
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: It will be centered around similar topics mentioned previously, Live

639
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 1: sports business.

640
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 4: Well are both rookies, but.

641
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:19,959
Speaker 1: Driven to put out good, entertaining relevant content. He says,

642
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: I love your show. I haven't missed an episode in

643
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: more than ten years.

644
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 4: How about that? Thank God bless you that brand.

645
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: I know it won't be a totally sports centric show,

646
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: but would appreciate your thoughts on how to sell the soap.

647
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: And that is from Brandon, So it sounds like he's

648
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: gonna have a radio show, and I guess that'll also

649
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: be a podcast. And the advice is if you always

650
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: start out when you're starting something new, if you know somebody,

651
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: if you know somebody that runs a business that has

652
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: advertising money to get started, but there are these things

653
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: called salespeople that you can hire.

654
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 4: I'll take a commission.

655
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: I'm sure that network I don't know the name of

656
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: the network, you didn't say it here, but they I'm

657
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: assuming they have a sales department. Unless you have to

658
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 1: buy time, then that's a different animal. If you buy time,

659
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: then you got to you gotta come up with the

660
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: money for the time, which I don't even know how

661
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:15,959
Speaker 1: much that goes on these days.

662
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 4: But yeah, you obviously have to find your dish.

663
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 1: I know it sounds like it be on a radio

664
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: network and then a podcast outside of that. Did you know,

665
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: Danny that in the world right now there are four million,

666
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: three hundred and ninety six thousand total podcasts registered in

667
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: the in the world. How about that? God is ridiculous?

668
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: Now on Apple podcast It's not that they're not all

669
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: on Apple. As of last month, there are two million,

670
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty eight thousand podcasts registered just on

671
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: the Apple platform. So, I mean, there's this insane the amount,

672
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: and most of them nobody's listening to. But today it's

673
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: a brand question. Get to the point.

674
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 4: Please.

675
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: You can do the old door to door thing, which

676
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: is cold call businesses and say hey, I got this

677
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 1: show we want to You know, you really just got

678
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: to deliver an audience. You got to find a way

679
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: branding to connect with people and whatever.

680
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 4: Works, whatever works for you.

681
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 1: There's a million different ways, as we like to say

682
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: to you know, you can make a bed more than

683
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: one way. You can bake a cake more than one way.

684
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: But you got to find things. You have to be

685
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,399
Speaker 1: consistent as far as the content. To me, I think

686
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: I was always thought like the content part of it.

687
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: I'll take it from that old movie. If you build it,

688
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: he will come. The listener will show up, and they

689
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: will be there and give them a reason to be there.

690
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: If it's the show's boring, and then no one's gonna listen.

691
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: So you just want to do an entertaining show. And

692
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: as we'd like to say on this podcast, Dany, if

693
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: you can get people engaged and then they get other

694
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 1: people to listen, you've doubled your audience. And you keep

695
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 1: doing that and then before you know it, you're laying

696
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,240
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan those other big time people.

697
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, you need your podcast to spread like covid did.

698
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, And like they say, ben opinions are like buttholes

699
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 3: and podcasts and everybody has one.

700
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they all they all all stink. But Brandon,

701
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: if it is from what you've told me, and you

702
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: can be somewhat vague, and I get it, I understand,

703
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: but you should start out with the network.

704
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 4: And I don't know the setup you have.

705
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: They they said there's a pilot show for Saturday, so

706
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what time it's going to air, but

707
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: you should say listen. You get obviously advertising, if you

708
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: have to sell it, then that's a tough thing. But

709
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 1: you have to figure out what your niche is. And

710
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's like kind of like our place, Danny.

711
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: We've I've been approached by people that want to advertise

712
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 1: on our podcast, and and I would take everyone's money. Unfortunately,

713
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 1: the company that I work for, there's a lot of

714
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: money that has to be spent on a show like

715
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,760
Speaker 1: this to get advertising, which is even mind blowing to me, Danny.

716
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 1: The minimum buy in to advertise on the on the

717
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: fifth Hour and Fox Sports Radio.

718
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 4: Is a lot of money, a lot of money.

719
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: So hopefully you don't have those restrictions, Brandon, and you

720
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: can work with those smaller businesses and give them a

721
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: little pop, give them a little help. There so, but

722
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: good luck. Keep us posted in if there's anything specific.

723
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, selling the soap, as John Sterling famously explained

724
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: to me the Yankee broadcaster from back in the day,

725
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: is the most important thing.

726
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 4: You gotta do the commercials.

727
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: You gotta support the advertisers, like right now, Dan, I'm

728
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: supporting advertisers right now.

729
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 4: Let's see, we'll do a couple more.

730
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: Steven Peoria rights in and says the He says, a

731
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: guy for I wor his grandparents' death certificate to get

732
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: time off from work. I guess this is in Singapore. Uh,

733
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: he says, what's the craziest thing you guys have done

734
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 1: to get time off from work? Well, I've never forged

735
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: a death certificate, Steve. Now, I don't I like working.

736
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: I hate missing the show. It bothers me. Yeah, when

737
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: I've been sick and been under I even work when

738
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm sick. Usually I don't think I've done. I mean

739
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 1: to get out now to get out of school. I

740
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: hated going to school. I was a terrible student. I

741
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: hated the whole getting up early to go to school things.

742
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: So that was a different animal. But like work, No,

743
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: I just love that we have a listener in Peoria.

744
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: That emailed in Danny because that line will it play

745
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 1: in Peoria, which I don't think is used anymore. That

746
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: was the great testing ground in America where if you

747
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: had a I guess that goes back to the vaudevillian days,

748
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: but if you had a product, or if you were

749
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: an entertainer, because there was such a diverse audience in Peoria,

750
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 1: Illinois demographics wise, that even I think even now in

751
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: politics they still go to Peoria as one of the

752
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: testing locations in America, but that it might be dating now.

753
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: That was more like in the eighties and the nineties.

754
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if they still do that these days.

755
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: But anyway, then we'll get out. I think we'll get

756
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: out on that, Danny. I'll be back tonight. Boy do

757
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: I have to watch the All Star Game tonight?

758
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 4: Danny?

759
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 3: Ye oh, man, let's predict the score though, I'm gonna

760
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 3: say it's gonna be two hundred. Well they do what

761
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 3: are they doing? Stupid brackets?

762
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 4: Now?

763
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't even know, as I said yesterday, if

764
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: you have to explain to your customers what your product

765
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: is after they've engauged, like there's I think there's like

766
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: multiple teams, and there's like a tournament like a round.

767
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's some euro crap, just like the in season tournament.

768
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 3: But the final game, I'll predict the score two hundred

769
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 3: and thirty one to two hundred and twenty.

770
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

771
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: Now I predicted they'll only play because of load management,

772
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 1: they'll probably play like four minute quarters, so it'll be

773
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: like forty two to you know, thirty seven.

774
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 4: Or something like that.

775
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: You know what.

776
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 4: It is so short.

777
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: They don't want the embarrassment of having the games in

778
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 1: the two hundreds.

779

788
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,160
