He joins us here on 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:44.200 this Sunday, the sixteenth day of February, Fresh Pod every Day. 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:48.120 Are some people, Danny G accuse us of recording these 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:54.760 podcasts on Thursday or Friday and not actually doing them 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:58.320 every single day, which, as you know, is bullshoy. 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:01.920 Danny, You've done some podcast like two weeks in advance. 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:05.880 That's a lie in fact, to prove, to verify to 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:10.800 that schmuck Terry in England, that dope okay, that this 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:14.760 is a legitimate podcast and not something that was done 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:18.440 days ago. We are here early at an ungodly hour 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:21.880 on Sunday here to do this podcast. And I wanted 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.400 to point out that while I did not watch it 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:27.440 live last night because I actually have a life. I 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:30.760 did see the clips of the Shenanigans at the All 0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:34.800 Star Game in San Francisco on All Star Saturday Night, 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:39.920 when to my knowledge, this is the first known cheating 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.880 scandal at the All Star Saturday Night fast. I mean, 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:46.320 I did famously have the story of the dunk contest 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.360 that was already given out before it was over to 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.320 Blake Griffin of the People's Team years ago. 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:54.320 But this is next level. 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.280 A former Clipper, part of the Lob City vintage of 0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:02.120 the Clippers, Chris Paul and Victim when by Yama, these 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:07.320 two dopes ended up getting disqualified for cheating at the 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:12.040 skills coop. But like I get, like, what are you doing, Danny. 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:14.600 I'm trying to wrap my head around this. 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.680 They were trying to save time in the skills challenge, 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:22.160 and so instead of actually attempting to shoot the ball, 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:24.280 they just tossed. 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:25.440 It blindly to the rim. 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.800 And it's like this weird fugacy thing where you had 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:31.400 to shoot three pointers from the wing, you had to 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.480 shoot a jumper from the elbow, and there's like a 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.720 there was like a spinning windmill thing, like a miniature 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:42.160 golf course, and they just they didn't bother with that 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:43.480 because they just trying to get through the thing. 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.280 I guess to save time. But I mean it's the 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:47.320 hood spot. 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.280 That's the word I will use, Danny, that these guys stop, well, 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.280 let me just lf around and nobody cares. 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:53.880 I just want to win this thing. I'm like God 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:58.840 at his next level. And the integrity I know. 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.880 Yeah, All Star Weekend for the NBA had hundreds of 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:03.760 millions of viewers. 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:07.760 I'm sure. Yeah, no, this is one of those things. Man. 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:10.720 I don't know about you, Danny, but I used to 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:15.400 on Saturday. I love the pomp and circumstance of the 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.120 three point contest and really what sold me originally was 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:21.280 the dunk contest, and I really I was all about it. 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:25.160 These are great events, This is wonderful and how great 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:25.360 is it? 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:25.560 Though? 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:29.079 The NBA and I talked about this on yesterday's podcast. 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:33.440 They they had meetings with the players to try to 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.640 convince them to actually take it seriously, to take their 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:40.000 job seriously, because they futs around so much at the 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:43.400 All Star break that like it's kind of important for 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.200 the business to have the All Star Weekend and they 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:50.760 get a cheating scandal in the main event. Well not, 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:52.280 it was not even the main event to me. The 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:55.920 three point contest, which I guess Tyler Hero won. I 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.080 saw some clips of that. He won. 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.200 People were hoping that Damian Lillard would win, and he 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:00.520 did not. 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.960 I did not get the three pete so much like 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:08.000 Kansas City, he came up blamed. But the dunk contest, 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:11.040 I got nothing against Mac McClung. 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:12.920 But that's embarrassing. 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:18.000 Yeah, you do, racist, I come on, And plus they're 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:21.159 saying it. People were sending me. I got two people. 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:23.599 I say people too, that's more than one person's people. 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:26.760 Two people sent me the link to the dunk and 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:28.880 he jumped over a car, and They're like, it's an 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.200 historic dunk, And I'm like, didn't Blake Griffin do the 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:34.440 same thing in a Kia commercial back in the day. 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.800 Yeah, Blake Griffin cheated. That was the first All Star 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:41.160 weekend scandal back in the day. Well, that was not 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.600 a legitimate leap over a car when Griffin did it. 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:47.440 It took a different white guy in McClung to do 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:48.320 it the right way. 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.880 He didn't did the same thing. What are you talking about? 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:51.560 Oh? 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.480 Not the same dunk. Go back and look at Blake 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:57.000 Griffin's dunk. It was over the front of the hood, 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:01.520 not over the car. I say, basic bull crap. 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:06.640 The problem is this, you had You're the NBA All 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.920 Star Game. You had a G League player G League. 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:13.640 The raining MVP of the G League won your dun coin. 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:18.000 Well, the best twenty twenty four player drafted is Brownie James, 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:20.680 and you know he's a G League guy, so come on. 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:25.760 Yeah, three consecutive slam dunk contest wins for Mac McClung 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:28.560 and he can't get like. 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:31.440 Actual NBA minutes there. 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:35.479 I mean, god, oh man, oh I did see he 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:40.040 donated the car he used to to a home in 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:41.800 Virginia's I don't know whatever. 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.520 One big takeaway, Kia has come a long way when 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:49.000 Blake Griffin did it, that car was ugly and Carl 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:53.280 McClung jumped over legitimately looked a lot nicer, sweeter riot. 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.799 You're looking to go buy a car something you were. Yeah, 0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:01.040 I still think k is kind of cheap. They look better. 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.400 They're one of those brands where they've improved. 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:08.200 Yeah, is there anything that is cheap in automobiles at 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:08.680 this point? 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:13.799 I know nothing except maybe those seeing those little tiny cars. 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.000 There's one parked outside Costco. They were advertising it. It 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.960 looks like a Santa Anna wind could push it over. 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.719 Yeah, looks like if you get into a fender bender, 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.560 you're dead, is what it looks like. I've seen those cars. 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:30.160 It's that's it game over all. Right, Well, we have 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:31.839 a mail to get to. I I you know, I 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:35.800 did want to mention Valentine's weekend. I ranted, I guys 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:36.720 were busting my balls. 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:36.880 Dan. 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.200 I made a heart shaped pizza. We had pizza night 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:42.960 on Friday. I talked about that. I saw the pictures. 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:45.640 Yeah, did I lose my man card? Danny? Is that it? 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.880 Is it done? I now officially a wood. No. You 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.000 always say rare and appropriate. 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:53.640 And this is one of those weekends where you got 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:55.039 to let romance lead the way. 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:57.839 Yeah, and it's not like I went out and bought 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.880 ten million bouquets of flowers. And I mean, I just 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.160 I was making a pizza and I said, you know, 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:04.560 the great thing when you were in the kitchen, the 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:08.080 culinary arts, which are I've become a fan of in 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.680 recent years, and you can do whatever you want. You're 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:13.280 the one making the pie, so we like, Hey, I 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:15.760 thought it'd be a nice little touch. My wife's come 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.680 under the weather this weekend, so cheer up a little bit, 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:22.640 and I think we'll probably end up really celebrating Valentine's 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:26.520 weekend more next weekend. Now, I mean, obviously this weekend's over. 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:28.240 Now it's Sunday, so I don't think I got back 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.600 to work tonight, exactly it. For years you've admitted that 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:35.280 you wait to get the half off, Candy. Well, listen, 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:40.960 there are advantages to being someone that is selective and 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:43.720 waits for the property. But this was not my idea, Danny. 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:45.880 This was my wife's Like, well, I'm not feeling great 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.560 this weekend. You know, I always want to I want to. 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.480 Be in a good frame of mind, and all, you 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:51.560 know how people are. 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:55.280 I'm generally just kind of drudge on, and I'm like, 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:56.840 I don't like complain. 0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.640 Like I've had this phlem situation. 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:05.480 Tom Looney got me sick, that schmuck on the TV show, 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:07.600 the only one I've been around who's sick the last 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:11.760 like two months and that, and it's I'm not contagious. 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.080 So I sit in that studio near him, and of 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:18.120 course he gets me sick. So but I've been fighting 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.120 this thing, I mean, sucking on garlic and doing that. 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:23.160 But I might just whatever, just do the show and 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:28.600 that's it. But your weekend, Danny, and you were very busy. 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:32.920 I know that it's some odd odd scheduling this weekend, but 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:34.880 you productive Valentine's Day. 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.680 Yes, yeah, I think I've seen the inside of enough 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:41.080 airplanes to last a couple of months. Where would you 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:44.760 take your girm log Valentine's weekend? It took her to 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:46.520 San Jose, California. 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:52.440 Wow. Man, you know your way to San Jose. You 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.320 know your way to San Jose. But you think of romance, 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:56.960 you think of love, you think of San Jose. 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:58.120 You think you really do. 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.439 And in fact, I'm sitting in the lobby right now 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:05.360 of this nice hotel in sunny Vale, California. It was 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.800 sunny yesterday. We had a little family get together on 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:10.360 my mom's side, and so I got to see my 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.199 mom and a couple of aunts and uncles and cousins 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.520 and their little baby's kids running around the park and 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:21.839 CoA was running laps. He knocked out like a sack 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.000 of bricks. He was so tired from running around at 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.000 the park. All afternoon and then we ate. You would 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.320 love this. We ate out of Chicago pizzeria. 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:34.400 Oh well, you think Chicago pizza, You think sunny Vale, California. 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:36.200 In fact, a lot of people don't know this, dandy, 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.520 but the Chicago style pizza actually came from a guy 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:40.320 from sunny Vale. Wrong. 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.080 You know what we do when the family gets together, though, 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:47.360 we do like a whiffle ball game. And my brother 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.880 he's into my older brother, he's into this. I think 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:51.640 I told the story the last time we did a 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:56.320 family barbecue. He was arguing balls and strikes. He was 0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:00.520 bitching and complaining about foul balls because he put a 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:04.440 jacket on both sides for the foul lines. And today 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:09.000 he took it next level. Imagine me pitching the whiffle ball. 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:12.200 I was throwing a mean curveball with it. He was 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.560 on his second strike. I threw the third one bend 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.760 right down the pike. He hits it back to the pitcher, 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:22.400 which is me. I corral this whiffleball, toss it to 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:25.520 first base. He is sprinting the first base like his 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.640 life depends on it, because he is way too competitive, 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:31.760 even with a stupid family wiffleball game. Where he should 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:35.160 really be going half speed. This dude, it was like 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:38.440 he was trying out for the LA Dodgers. So he 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:42.000 sprints the first base, steps on the bag really hard 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:46.640 and bites it rans on his shoulder. Stayed down and 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:50.520 at first I thought he was being dramatic. Turns out 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:54.080 after a trip to the er broken clavicle. 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:59.240 What in a family whiffle ball game? 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:04.200 Yes, sir, they had to help him up. Well, he 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.280 was in pain. It looked like he wanted to cry. 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.160 Is he younger or older than us? 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:13.120 He is, He's about four years older than us. 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.560 Oh man, Ah, dude, is this what we have to 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.079 look forward to in the next few years? He follows 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:22.599 the Medello marketing campaign. He's got that fighting. 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:23.880 Spirit, which is this. 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.080 Is not good at a freaking WI football game. 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:26.839 What are you doing? 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:30.280 Oh my god, that's a painful history. I've talked to 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.280 some athletes that have had that over the years. That's 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:37.559 a mother blankety blankety blankety blankety situation. Wow. 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:41.839 My sister in law sent a picture of the X 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:45.640 ray says it is a broken clavicle. He's going to 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:49.040 be sent to an orthopedic surgeon. We won't know more 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:53.000 until he sees them and everybody's commenting on him being 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:56.199 a weekend Warrior, and they say, Ty goes to the 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:59.480 runner Ben because man, I got that ball over the 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.720 first base quick and right as his foot hit the 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:03.880 bag way too hard. 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:06.360 It was bam bam. We needed review. 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.040 And the way he was running, the way he's so 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:11.880 competitive in a dumb wiffleball game, you would have thought 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:13.840 he was in a major league game that had review. 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:17.200 Wow, that is next level. 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:18.160 I'm in. 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:22.640 And does that end now the Danny g family tradition 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.360 of the whiffleball game. With that, you believe that will 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:27.079 be the final whiffleball game. 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:29.640 I don't think so, because his left arm is what's 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:30.679 in a sling right now. 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:31.520 He sent a picture. 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:34.240 He said that he told his wife he could still 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:35.840 pitch with his right arm tomorrow. 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:40.880 Okay, so at least he still wants to go back 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:43.640 in that. He's not like an NBA player, which would 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:44.120 be that's it. 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.199 I'm done, I'm out, exactly. 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.679 No, this game is going to continue as soon as 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:50.600 the side of the family gets together again. 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:52.480 Wow, you have. 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:56.800 Got to be kidding me on that note. We must 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:59.600 bring in that's that's wild now, let's bring in Ohio 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:17.800 and it'll be even more wild. It's all right, thank you, Ohio. 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:21.120 All these are actual questions by actual listeners. And if 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:24.280 you're a fan of this podcast and you've never ever 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.240 sent content in, I get it. I look at the numbers, 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.720 and based on how many people are listening to the 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:34.520 podcast and whatnot, we thank you, and we know that 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.480 most of you listen and do not much like Radio Davy. 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.000 Most people listen, they don't actually interact with the show. 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.040 That's generally how that goes. And so the same thing 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:46.040 here in the podcast world, Mike. But if you want 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:47.920 to email in a question, you can do it right 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.360 now for next week or maybe like you wake up 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.600 with a bug up you're a keyster on Wednesday and 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:55.559 you want to send a question in or Tuesday, whatever, 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:57.360 it doesn't matter when you send it, and just getting 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.720 in by the weekend generally. So I kind of compile 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:03.840 these things. I know we're doing this early here on Sunday, 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:07.440 but I usually on Thursday or Friday. Put everything together, now, Mike, 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:10.559 and Fullerton writes in and he says, Ben and Danny 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:14.000 g now that season two of Benny Versus the Penny 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:17.040 is in the books. It's still time to see it, though. 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.120 Mike gets on Peacock. It'll be on there probably for 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.880 the next couple of days, and then that's it, he says, 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.720 I gotta know what your favorite episode the season is. 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:28.360 For me, it has to be Week seven's. 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:31.200 It maye me laugh, it made me cry, it made 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:33.640 me think, it made me feel things I've never felt before. 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:36.520 Truly a master piece. Now, Mike, I think you're bullshitting me. 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.520 I don't think there's nothing I remember about Week seven 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:44.320 that was particularly all that good. Anyways, thanks for another 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.400 wonderful season. County down the days until season three. My 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:51.080 favorite episode was actually an episode we had no games. 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:55.120 My favorite episode was the week before the Super Bowl 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:57.920 when there was that dead week and we went in 0:14:57.920 --> 0:14:59.600 there and just hamming it out, and they played some 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:03.760 bluep tapes that I laughed at. The Danny DeVito one 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:06.240 I thought was pretty cool, and uh, some of the 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.560 other blooper stuff, like I liked that. I mean, I 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.960 was getting my ass kicked by the freaking Penny. During 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.120 the course of the regular season, I did win the preseason, 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:18.320 so I won that. I won the postseason head ahead, 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.240 but the regular season just everything I was doing. It 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:23.240 didn't It didn't work out my way, But you know, 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:27.160 generally speaking, I thought, to answer your question, I thought 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:31.480 the week before the super Bowl was was a lot 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:35.240 of fun. Even this past episode, the final, the season finale, 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:38.080 I thought we had we had, yeah, a good. 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:41.440 Time with I think your guys Zoom episode was the best. Yeah. 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:44.520 We had to do it from home because the freaking fires. Yeah, 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:46.600 the damn TV show from my house. 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:48.840 Wait till NBC finds out they don't even need a 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:49.640 set for you guys. 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:53.840 Trust me, we were thinking we were wandering around. We 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:56.600 walked in the rain at Universal the other day and 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:58.280 we're like, well, we don't know. I mean, we might 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:00.360 end up just doing the show from the house. Knows 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:05.520 maybe you know, buy bigger, brighter lights or whatever. Anyway, 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:08.520 Alf wrights in, He says, Ben, we know you don't 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.720 do shout outs on the radio and other morning you 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:15.480 do type things, but this podcast is anything but predictable, 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.400 and you've been known to go off a book from 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:21.240 time to time. So in that spirit, Alf writes in, 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:25.120 I'd like to send a long distance dedication word of 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:29.440 the week to another listener on this podcast. Loray, the 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:32.360 word I'd like you to do a deeper dive on 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:37.440 is officionato because we all know it's not really what 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:38.880 she initially thought. 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:42.720 It was the official person who. 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:45.920 Gives the nod that's from your loyal million now, so 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.000 this is We did a bit on the show this 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:50.440 week and Alf has another question. 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:55.320 We'll save that for a second, but Alf heard the bit. 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:56.520 We had a sound. 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:57.920 I don't know if you guys played this on Covino 0:16:57.920 --> 0:16:59.760 and Rich, but there was some audio from the NBA. 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:03.080 I think it was Austin Reeves had a big game 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:08.240 for the Lakers, and then one of the reporters Minimon mcminnon. 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:11.639 I know the guy actually, yeah, something like that. So 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:15.639 he asked the question and he used the word aficionado, 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:20.280 and Austin Reeves was dumbfounded. I had never heard that word, 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:22.720 didn't know that word. Loved the word, and so that 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:25.160 I asked Lorena and she didn't know what the word 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:28.000 was either, So I was like, aficionado. 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:29.680 Was an odd word for her. 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:32.720 So I looked it up in the able to do 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:37.240 this as the bonus word all the week, Austin Reeves 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:41.560 Word of the Week and also goes out to Loraina 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:48.400 says late It originated Davis's Latin a late fourteenth century 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:54.840 early fifteenth century for mental state, disposition, mood, state of mind, 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:59.720 or body, and so it comes from that, and then 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:01.560 over the years. 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:04.520 It got twisted. 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:12.080 Around year by year, and in eighteen forty five the 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:18.680 Spanish word aficionato meaning amateur, but it was really for 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:25.240 a devotee of bullfighting. So in it started in the 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:32.600 first recorded use of the word written was in Spanish 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:37.320 in nothing before fifteen fifty five. They say it comes 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:39.760 from late fourteenth century, but they didn't write a lot 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:42.080 of stuff down there. They didn't have a lot of 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:46.119 paper and pens and things like that, and so in 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:52.240 eighteen forty five it was switched over to aficionato, meaning 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:55.880 a fan of bullfighting and all that. Obviously it's been 0:18:56.480 --> 0:19:00.480 twisted over the years even more since then, and it 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:06.200 means expert a you know, the modern modern definition. 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:08.960 So there it is the word of the week, which. 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:14.639 Originally comes from Latin, and then in Spain was bullfighting 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:18.720 in eighteen forty five, and now just means like an expert, 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:24.359 a insider, a know it all, et cetera. Alf also said, 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:28.080 having you two gentlemen, have you recovered from your food 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:32.800 comas from all the half price candy you bought this weekend. 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:35.320 I'm not missing you. I'm still working on a bag 0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:40.119 of Reese's peanut butter trees that I got from Bjy's 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:46.240 that is a Costco competitor the day after Christmas. Yeah, 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:49.320 so I did not have a chance to really buy it. 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:54.760 I might go out later today, alf or tomorrow. I 0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:58.119 think the big discount will likely be on Monday tomorrow 0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:01.600 because it's Valentine's weekend, Danny. 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:03.439 I mean some people celebrate, you know. 0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:05.919 I know Valentine's Day was back on Friday, but some 0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:09.640 people started to They started celebrating late. 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:13.240 Maybe they didn't buy stuff until Saturday. So I went. 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:14.720 I bought a card, but. 0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:18.720 I mean it was pretty slammed when I went out, 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:25.040 So I don't know. Anyway, let's your conspiracy theory, Bobby 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:30.560 writes in from Parts Unknown. He says, hey, Bandon, Danny, 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:35.000 there is now there's no way, no way the Chiefs games. 0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:35.680 Have been rigged this year. 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:39.080 I mean, I really don't think that they think we're 0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:43.800 the that's stupid anymore, he says. The camp with cameras everywhere, 0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:46.679 social media, all of that at least. I hope the 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:51.720 NFL doesn't believe were that naive? I think that all 0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:57.480 went away with sports after the jfk assassination. Bobby writes 0:20:57.520 --> 0:21:01.880 in from Parts Unknown, says, or did it overthinking? 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:06.480 Sorry, you have to admit that the Chiefs did receive 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:10.360 some timely calls. I think that's the key word, timely. 0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:12.520 And so was it overblown? 0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:16.040 Yeah, the numbers indicated there was nothing really going on. 0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:17.760 There are a. 0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:21.200 Lot of bags except the postseason. Man, there were numbers. 0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:23.359 I don't even think it's true this year. We had 0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:25.919 the numbers before the Super Bowl. It wasn't like it 0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:28.359 wasn't any outrageous or anything. 0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:32.040 It wasn't ungodly, but there was a difference. Really, what's 0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:32.439 going on? 0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:34.920 And this is going to be a problem forever, Bobby 0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:36.879 is it's engagement farming. 0:21:37.040 --> 0:21:41.040 You get people people want to believe that it's right now. 0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:43.280 I'm not naive to think that there aren't things. 0:21:43.440 --> 0:21:48.359
