I am scheduled, barring some kind of last 19 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: minute snap who I am scheduled to attend a game that 20 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: should be over at halftime, which means I can get 21 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: out of there just after halftime. My Rams who are 22 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: actually taking resumes.

The thing about this, and I've 29 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: seen this a lot. I've been to forty nine ram 30 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: games for the last couple of years, and I was 31 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: at the NFC Championship game when the year they got 32 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. It is amazing, Danny, how many 33 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: dudes our age are Dodger fans and forty nine er fans. 34 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: You'd think those things would not go together, but there 35 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: was no team in LA for a good stretch of time, 36 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: and so a lot of guys went to the Niners. 37 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 3: I guess we also have, you know, a lot of 38 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 3: cross pollination between Northern California and southern California, just like 39 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 3: how my family went back and forth between the two regions. 40 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 3: That's why you get a lot of Dodger fans up 41 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 3: in Northern California that invade the park there whenever the 42 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 3: Dodgers is at the Giants. But you're right, because there 43 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 3: was a void for a while, you'd get Cowboys fans 44 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 3: because of the training camp situation in California, it's a 45 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 3: lot of Rams, Cowboys, Raiders, forty nine ers. 46 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Dodgers though, at this point, everywhere the Dodgers go, 47 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: it's like a mass migration. There's like a stampede of 48 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: Dodger fans. It's unbelievable, like how many. Like it just 49 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: blows me away, like a Dodge has always been somewhat popular, 50 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: but when I was around the team, we'd go on 51 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: the road and some there would no Dodger. You can 52 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: see a couple Dodgers fans. It seems like everywhere they go. 53 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: Now they have this massive bull rush at Dodger fans. 54 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: It's wild. I know they have the fan group that 55 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: does that and schedule stuff. 56 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 3: And yeah, I was just going to bring them up 57 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 3: based off the color of the Dodger blue. 58 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 1: Okay, I forget the name of it, but yeah, those 59 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: guys are. 60 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 3: Wild online to social media, inviting fellow Dodger fans on 61 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 3: these big trips that they do. They're very organized and 62 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 3: it's amazing how well Dodger fans travel. 63 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: You wonder how much they're actually are they making money 64 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: on that because they're probably what they're doing is they're 65 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: like travel Your wife does that, right, she's in the 66 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: travel world. 67 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 3: I think, huh yeah, they do travel packages for fans. 68 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 3: Make a fee off of those packages. 69 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, I wonder they must be making. 70 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 3: It adds up when you have hundreds of people going 71 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 3: on a trip. 72 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: Gotcha. 73 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 4: Let's get to the men and o Tani. We got 74 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 4: to mention Otani. Really, we haven't mentioned him. We've got 75 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 4: till Sunday. We haven't mentioned till Oh, oh my goodness. 76 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: Ben. 77 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 3: Thursday on the radio show with Covino and Rich We're 78 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 3: live doing our show and the game was on while 79 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 3: we were on, so we got to react to the 80 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,239 Speaker 3: forty ninth home run. We were taking a phone call 81 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 3: and I'm pumping my fist. I'm celebrating because in front 82 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 3: of me, he hits that monster moonshot to run Homer 83 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 3: to get to forty nine. They see me through the 84 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 3: glass celebrating. They thought I was reacting to something the 85 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 3: caller was talking about. And then they look up at 86 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 3: the monitors and they're like, oh, Tony hit another one. 87 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 3: A game for the ages man. And talk about bad timing. 88 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 3: You talked about it on the podcast in the live air. 89 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 3: When there's a hard out on the network, there's nothing 90 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 3: we can do. It hits whether we're ready for it 91 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 3: or not, or we want it to hit or not. 92 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 3: He's up to bat again. Right as we're signing off, 93 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 3: Covino and Rich are saying goodbye, we'll see you tomorrow. 94 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 3: Make sure you tune into this at bat and they 95 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 3: say later, boom we are. Fox Sports comes on and 96 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 3: literally ten seconds later, he rocks his fiftieth home run. 97 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 3: Oh man, yeah, and we were jumping up and down 98 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 3: off the air. It was nice to celebrate with everybody 99 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 3: in the studios, the editors and you know, the odd 100 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 3: couple who were on next. Everybody was so excited. That 101 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 3: part of it was memorable. But what sucked is, as 102 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 3: you know, sometimes when a live sporting event is on 103 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 3: and you're also simultaneously doing a radio show, like back 104 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 3: when you were on Weekends with Looney, there would be 105 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 3: something memorable that would happen right right after the hard 106 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 3: out hit. So there was nothing you could do to 107 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 3: cover it. 108 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: No, for sure, and I you know what, I had 109 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: the vibe and obviously I'm on at night. So unless 110 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 1: they play in like Japan, there's nothing going on when 111 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: I'm on. But it was like it reminded me when 112 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: I was doing local radio and before we knew about 113 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: the whole steroid thing, the whole country was captivated, at 114 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: least the sporting country with McGuire and Sosa. That home 115 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: run race. 116 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they would cut into whatever was on the 117 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 3: big networks and go to each at bat. 118 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was insane how popular that was. That was 119 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: like one of the last hurrahs of baseball in the nineties. 120 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: And we were doing local radio and we would give 121 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: like the we'd have the games on and I like, 122 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: do the We're not You're not allowed to do it. 123 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: I had a PD you shouldn't do that. We don't 124 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: have the rights, so, you know, kind of doing faux 125 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 1: play by play, and I remember I fell out. I 126 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 1: fell out of my chair one time when Sammy Sosa 127 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: hit a home run and it was a moonshot and 128 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: we were so so excited. But it did have that 129 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: kind of vibe and it was cool and I mean 130 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: nice of the Marlins to just keep pitch. I said 131 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: this on my show the other you know, back on 132 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: Thursday to Friday, the last show we did live show 133 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: of the Week, and I was like, you're the Marlins, 134 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,119 Speaker 1: so there's second worst team in baseball. Yes, you should 135 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: pitch to old Tani, like what are you worried about. 136 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: You're not trying to make the playoffs or anything like that. 137 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: Like that's the greatest moment in that franchise's history for 138 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: this year anyway, you know, they gave up the lot. 139 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: I was like, I'm sure on the Marlins postgame show, 140 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: I'm not in Miami, but I'm guessing that they featured 141 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: that and they went, you know, went over Otani's day 142 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: and that was the highlight because they don't have any 143 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: highlights on that team. 144 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 3: So I was happy to see what their manager said 145 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 3: afterwards that you know, he wanted to do right by 146 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 3: baseball and challenge Jotani and not have bad karma come 147 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 3: his or the team's way. And I like that approach, 148 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 3: you know, rather than intentionally walking a guy who's close 149 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 3: to history. 150 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that happens in all sports now where there's 151 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: this mindset we can allow can't be the team that 152 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: allows history. Like somebody's going for you know, ninety points 153 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: in a basketball game and they I pull Shenanigainst to 154 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: try to try to derail them from setting the record, right, 155 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to be the team that gives up, 156 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: you know, the next player to score one hundred points 157 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: or whatever. 158 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 3: Have you ever seen a stat line like that for 159 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 3: one baseball player in one game? 160 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: Why? I mean, I was trying to think. I was 161 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: like when I remember years ago there was a guy 162 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: named Mark Whitten who had a bunch of home runs, 163 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: but he wasn't perfect for the Cardinals. He had twelve 164 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: RBIs or something like that. But yeah, I mean, see, 165 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: according to the nerds, that was the greatest day in 166 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: if you can bind stolen bases, home runs, doubles total bases, 167 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: it was like the greatest day since at least nineteen 168 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: oh one. So it's been one hundred and twenty something 169 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: years and they don't have anything, and they have all 170 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: the numbers. I mean, they go through every day. The 171 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: negro leagues are now included in the database they have 172 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: at like Baseball Reference, and at least unless I missed it, 173 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: that was considered the greatest performance. And it's it's nuts. 174 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: It's it reminds you of very Bonds. Mean, Aaron Judges 175 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: a similar type situation in the American League, but O'tani 176 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: playing for the Dodgers. I remember Bonds with the Giants 177 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: when he was on all the steroids. Man, that guy 178 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: was insane. 179 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 3: What a whole new world for Otani too, from the 180 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 3: Angels to this. 181 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: Slightly different neighborhood, slightly different fan. 182 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 3: Base, the Anaheim Oh I'm sorry, the Los Angeles Angels 183 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 3: of Fullerton. 184 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, see that you're sucking up to for Let's get 185 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 1: to the let's get to this mail bag. 186 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 5: It's dark guy. 187 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: Thanks again, Ohio.

How does it feel that all these years 192 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,719 Speaker 1: of screaming into the dark and thinking that no one 193 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: can hear you, that you're reaching high ranking officials in 194 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: major sports organizations.

And 199 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:44,079 Speaker 1: then he quotes mister Hutton there when Ben speaks. People listen. 200 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: I do get a kick out of it. Alf. It's 201 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 1: actually happened a lot more in the last I would say, 202 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: fifteen years, with the power that social media has. And 203 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: as you know, Danny, there are camus all the time 204 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: in those studios. 205 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 3: And yeah, that's what I was going to say. A 206 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 3: lot of video clips go viral. 207 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, like, so I'll say something on the radio and 208 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: it'll have a lifespan and then the video and the 209 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: stuff I do, the video pops up during the day 210 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: and so that then gets seen by other people. And 211 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: it is amusing, though, when you find out that people 212 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: that are in charge of multi billion dollars sports leagues 213 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: have contacted your boss to complain about a take you 214 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: had that broadcast at four in the morning.

You know, 216 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: it's like, really, you are that paranoid, you are that sensitive, 217 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: You're that neurotic that the guy in the magic radio 218 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: box cannot give that take without some kind of retribution 219 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 1: from you, Like you you're not confident enough in your skin, 220 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: or is the idiot on the radio, the blowhard on 221 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: the radio correct, And that's why you're upset because you 222 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: spoke the truth. I don't know, but I do get 223 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: a kick out of it. It's pretty crazy, pretty pretty crazy. 224 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,959 Speaker 1: So but thank you, thank you. I'm upset I didn't 225 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: get to meet Alf. I was hoping I cant that 226 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: big storm, the last minute thing. Hopefully next year, Alf, 227 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: if you keep watching and get everyone you know to 228 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: watch Benny Versus the Penny, they'll pick up the show 229 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: for a third year, we hope, and then I'll be 230 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: back in Boston again and we'll make sure we'll schedule 231 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:38,119 Speaker 1: something to meet. Got to meet Alf. I met Masshole 232 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: Mickey and then several other fans that should have blind Scott. 233 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: I saw him again. So I want to want to 234 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 1: meet Alf. That's something we've got to make happen. So 235 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: hopefully we'll. 236 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, before he passes away, because that cast, that TV cast, 237 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 3: the kid, the guy who played the little kid on 238 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 3: the show, just recently passed away. 239 00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: So no, no, Alf, Alf's an alien will live forever. What. Yeah, No, 240 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: Alf is you know how we have like lizard people 241 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: to listen to show. But Alf's from another part of 242 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: the cosmos. Yeah, Iken Fullerton writes, and he says, hey, 243 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 1: Ben in Danny g not to drag you guys down 244 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: another sports rabbit hole, but I owe Danny g an 245 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: apology for bragging on his guy Antonio Pierce last week. 246 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: That was an impressive win over the ravens Now. I 247 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: hope that Pierce coaches the Raiders for a very short 248 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: time for my charger's sake, he says, And then he says, Ben, 249 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: were you as disgusted as I was when Coop admitted 250 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: he accidentally stole a pack of gum as a kid. Sadly, 251 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: I think his crime has long passed the statute of 252 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: limitations for any kind of legal punishment, but Mike says 253 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: that does not rule out show punishment. Maybe you could 254 00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: dock his pay by the value of the gum or 255 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: make him talk to hollering James for an entire night. Well, yeah, 256 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: that would be tremendously horrible punishment to have to talk 257 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: to It's like corporal punishment. Well, he's gotten NARCOLEPSI, so 258 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: James would just randomly fall asleep anyway, He just like 259 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: starts start snoozing. And do you not have some Raider 260 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: fan porn there? For Antonio Pierce. Heading into today's game 261 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: with the Carolina Panthers. 262 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 3: Day, Dunna. What a oh, what a victory last Sunday, 263 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 3: and we covered it because, as he mentioned, we kind 264 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 3: of went down a little bit of a rabbit hole 265 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 3: based on the question we got about Antonio Pierce, and 266 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 3: we both were right. We called that game. Not only 267 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 3: did they cover, they won. Their defense obviously was good 268 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 3: enough to beat that team and any team if they're clicking, 269 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 3: and that offense finally clicked in the second half. Favorite 270 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 3: moment of that game, Ben, is when Max Crosby got 271 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 3: up in in Minshu's face as he waddled off to 272 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 3: the sideline after throwing that second half interception and stuck 273 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 3: his finger in his chest and was like, come on, dude, 274 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 3: stay in the game like I got you. I got 275 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 3: with the defense. Me and the defense have your back. 276 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 3: Great thing about Crosby he just doesn't say shit. He 277 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 3: backs it up with his play on the field. 278 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Raiders. You know, I'm a Rams fan, but 279 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: I'm this year, I'm pulling for the Raiders. You know, 280 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: there's some people behind the scenes I'm pulling for. But 281 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: my buddy I was watching the game with he came 282 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: over for a football palser there and so we were 283 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: focusing on the Raiders game. We're flipping around. I was like, 284 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: I mean, they got the schedule, They're like, they're set 285 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: up if they just win the games they're supposed to win. Like, 286 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: we could wake up here by week seven or eight, 287 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: assuming they don't have an implosion, and the Raiders could 288 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: be right there. I mean, he's play you play the 289 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: cold game. It's a weasel term. But if you look 290 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: at the upcoming schedule, assuming they don't many hiccups and 291 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: just do what they're supposed to do, the Raiders are 292 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: going to have a really good record. They're they're one 293 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: in one right now. They got Carolina, worst team in football. 294 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: They got the Browns the following week they suck the 295 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: creepy quarterback. He got Denver, the the Broncos, who have 296 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: no quarterback. The Steelers don't have a quarterback. 297 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 3: Wait a second, I was told Bo Knicks was the 298 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 3: next John Elway. 299 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: Well he was, mister August. He looked great in August. 300 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: Then you play the Rams. Raiders play the Rams in 301 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: la A week seven. So if you those are all 302 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: winnable getting out of Steeler game, man, you know Steelers defense, 303 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: that's pretty good. So that'll be that'll be the toughest one. 304 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: But assuming you beat Carolina, Cleveland, Denver, and La the Rams, 305 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: you're sitting at five and two going into the game 306 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. Yeah. I hope you're right. 307 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 3: You know, the pessimistic side of me says, uh oh. 308 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 3: When the Raiders are favored, they play down to the 309 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 3: competition and they look kind of lazy sometimes in games 310 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 3: they're favored in. I hope that that leadership on the 311 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 3: field and now on the sideline with Antonio Pierce, I 312 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 3: hope that translates to them winning the games they're supposed 313 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 3: to win. 314 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, playing down to the competition. Oh, we'll see. But Antonio, 315 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 1: they're not making penalties. This is unlike any Raider team 316 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: I can recall here. They've cut down tremendously on the mistakes. 317 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 3: So thank god, thank you Antonio Pierce. 318 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: All Right, Kevin in Minnesota.

But I think I'm getting a little 335 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: better week by week and getting a little more comfortable. 336 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 1: So who knows what the future holds, Kevin, But we're 337 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: having We're having a good time, and we're just gonna 338 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: ride this out and if it ends this year, that's it. 339 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 1: It was a great two years, and if we get 340 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: a third year, even better. And it's really going to 341 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: be determined by how many people watch it. So you're 342 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: helping us. I think, if my math is correct, you 343 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: said at least five relatives and five Coores. So that's 344 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: like ten people. That's like a massive, massive amount people. 345 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: If everyone does that, I think we'll be fine. Big 346 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: Wu from the LBC rights and he says, hey, in 347 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 1: the Long Beach area, Beny Versus the Penny has shown 348 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 1: on the Historians TV cable channel Spectrum Sportsnet. They have 349 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: two channels that play simultaneously.

I think it should be showing more. And 353 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: he says, I if I watch and record each show, 354 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: will you get ratings credit for one home or twelve homes? 355 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 1: I have no idea, Big Lou, but I don't know 356 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: how all that works.

But I figured that that's still 366 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 3: was counting as a view. 367 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: Uhhat, it doesn't. In fact, I mentioned yesterday. I think 368 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: it was yesterday. We talked about the party where I 369 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: made the brownies and stuff, and my mother in law 370 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: was there and she brought one of her friends.

But another nurse was there, and so 373 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: she was introducing her friend to me, and she mentioned 374 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 1: the TV show and so you know how you size 375 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: up someone within like thirty seconds, you're like, you know, 376 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: kind of right away, hey, this person's you know, didn't 377 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 1: seem like a sporty person.

Oh boy, 396 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 1: did you see this story? 397 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 5: Danny? 398 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,239 Speaker 1: No, yeah, let me click it. This is actually the 399 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: Oklahoma State Fair scandal rocks Oklahoma State Fair. 400 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 3: You were there, Yeah, it was there last Sunday. 401 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: Oh, this is a good one. Thank you, Jason. This 402 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: is awesome. So the Oklahoma State Fair and then they 403 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 1: this is a news story that I have. According to 404 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: Kate Coo, there was a contest where a bunch of 405 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: people signed up for a Battle of Endurance. They got 406 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: into a twenty twenty four Nissan CenTra at eleven am 407 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: on Thursday, knowing that they would be disqualified if they 408 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: left for any reason. So this is the bit we 409 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: radio stations used to do this back in the day. 410 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, until somebody died. Oh my gosh. 411 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. So they had to stay in the guarden. So 412 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: they were allowed to take a bathroom break every three hours, 413 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: but that was the only time they were allowed to 414 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 1: get out, and any remnants of any food that was 415 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: consumed also needed to remain in the vehicle. So this guy, Brian, 416 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: according to the news story, he clinched the victory when 417 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 1: the other guy, who was from Arkansas, this guy named Chris, 418 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: gave up. However, things took a turn to the wild 419 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: side when the runner up filed a formal complaint with 420 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: the Oklahoma State Fair claiming that the person that won 421 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 1: used illegal means to win the event. 422 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 5: And uh. 423 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: Like coca No, no, no, it's even worse than that. 424 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: So the guy claims he posted a video or a 425 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,360 Speaker 1: rant on social media. So the guy says, before he 426 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: tapped out, the other guy came back to the car 427 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: after it was with his final bathroom break, and he 428 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: came back with a cup of shit. He had he 429 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: had like shit that he This is so disgusting.

And so these 435 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: are the guys like, hey, this is disgusting. This guy's 436 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: an animal, right goblin. And so so the guy, the 437 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: other guy, the guy he told the organizers says, that's 438 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: violating the rules. You can't bring things into the car. 439 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 3: So he did he did that to force the other 440 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 3: guy out. 441 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: Yes, and the guy did quit. The guy said out 442 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: of self respect. He he gave up. And so the 443 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 1: guy won because of a cup of shit. Uh, that 444 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: is so nasty. It's gamesmanship on the next level, Danny. 445 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: It's gamesmanship. 446 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,120 Speaker 3: Ship is a really shitty way to win a car. 447 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the car.

Think, yeah, 452 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 1: it sounds like the runner up should win that car. Yeah, 453 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: that's true. Greg writes in from the ukses, Does this 454 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: guy does this story ring about you? Guys? He says 455 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: he's he's an ex pat. He says he's from from 456 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: the States, but he's living abroad, and then he sends 457 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 1: a story here. Did you see the former Arsenal player 458 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:38,400 Speaker 1: arrested for smuggling eight hundred thousand dollars of weed from 459 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: Thailand to England? So I didn't see this story, but 460 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: it does ring about you. You know the famous you 461 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 1: remember the famous NFL player Danny that briefly worked at 462 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,920 Speaker 1: our place. Well, I think before you were there, worked 463 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: at Fox Sports Radio who also got ding for smuggling 464 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 1: the weed. I know who you're talking about. Yeah, that 465 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: would be the Dallas cowboy legend, Nate Newton. Nate Nate Newton. 466 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 1: We had James Washington who was part of those great 467 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: cowboy teams, and James was friends with eight and so 468 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: Nate came to our place. But he got dinged. I 469 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: think it was around that amount of money of weed 470 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: he got dinged with, and he was facing like twenty 471 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: years in jail. But he's a cowboy. It happened I 472 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: think it happened in Texas, so he didn't get too 473 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: much jail time, but it was like one hundred and 474 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 1: something pounds might have been even more than that of 475 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: weed that he had in his car and he got. 476 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, he served. Newton served just over two years in jail. 477 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: Which is bad, but when you're facing twenty years, is good, right, 478 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: He's like, well, like in two years, I can treat 479 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 1: it like a nice all. 480 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 3: And it was federal prison. Is that a little better? 481 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know. I'm sure either. 482 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 3: I'm glad neither of us have experience in that federal 483 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 3: You have to. 484 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: Serve eighty is it eighty or eighty five percent? Do 485 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 1: you know the I'm not sure. Yeah, I'm not sure 486 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: on that, and we hope to never find out. But 487 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,479 Speaker 1: I think it's eighty to eighty five percent in the 488 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: federal federal pen. So if my let's see the math here. 489 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: So if it's eighty percent. 490 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 3: Oh okay, it says federal prisons are known for their 491 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 3: higher security measures and that translates to a safer environment. Okay, 492 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 3: so I guess you're just a little safer in federal prison. 493 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 3: But the math, so if he was sentenced the eighty 494 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 3: was it eighty months, he says, or thirty thirty months, 495 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 3: but eighty percent of thirty months, that's he had to 496 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 3: serve twenty Oh yeah, so you're right, two years, so 497 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 3: that's twenty it's obvious you already said it twenty four months, 498 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,439 Speaker 3: but year and a half. 499 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,360 Speaker 1: So okay, I got you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They said 500 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,719 Speaker 1: there would be no math Mark and Providence right sin 501 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,120 Speaker 1: He says he's a latrine technician, which is a wonderful 502 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 1: way to say you clean toilets. I love that. And 503 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: this guy Mark his boots on the ground, Danny. He 504 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: has been watching NBC Sports Boston religiously on Fridays, Saturdays 505 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: and Sundays, but he watches it like apparently all the time. 506 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: It's his favorite channel. Mark in Providence, the latrine Technician, 507 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: and he's been giving me daily email updates for the promos, 508 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 1: which I don't even know about. We taped a bunch 509 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:31,919 Speaker 1: of promos. They flew us back to Boston. We had 510 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: a whole recording session all day and it was a 511 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: hole to do. It took forever and we were like 512 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: watching the Olympics and then recording crap and they sliced 513 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: it all up and so apparently they made promos that 514 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: are airing on NBC Sports Boston, and Mark has been 515 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: documenting like the different shows Scott Zolak, the old Patriots quarterback. 516 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: He has a radio show Felger and Maz big radio 517 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: show in Boston. So I did want to say tip 518 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: of the headphones to Mark in Providence. Good job by you. 519 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: Jason from Toledo, right tannl on the mailbag, He says, Ben, 520 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: do you have a problem with Eddie taking time off 521 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: from work during the NFL season. I know he's in 522 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh this weekend. I remember you used to say not 523 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: to miss any time this part of the year. Do 524 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: you think Eddie feels guilty? No, I mean I listen, 525 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: it's Eddie's life. He gets time off. You can do 526 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: what you want. I mean, that's not something I try 527 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: to do, but that's Eddie and Eddie definitely. Eddie does 528 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: not believe in following the old school teachings that we 529 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: were taught not to take time off during football season. 530 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: Most of the nicknames Eddie's gotten are because he takes 531 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: time off Jason to go to events like there are 532 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: certain events that are kind of big in sports radio, 533 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: and Eddie's missed a lot of them because he's just 534 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: gone to random stuff like the NFL. He attended the 535 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: NFL Draft, but it wasn't the draft. He was like 536 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: a draft party at Disneyland. And so that's how he 537 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: got the new named steamboat Willie because of that. But 538 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: but no, I mean it's to take time off. It's 539 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: not something I would choose to do. Like I'm still 540 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: I think we talked about it last weekend, Danny. But 541 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: like there's a Malor meet and greet that is in 542 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: the works, and I would have to travel, and because 543 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 1: of the travel, I would have to miss a night 544 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: of the show and it would be a Sunday night 545 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 1: into a Monday, and that's a very important day and 546 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 1: I don't really want to do that, but I want 547 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: to go to the event. And so I'm like juggling, 548 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: like and i'd rush back, like I'd be I gotta 549 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 1: get back to do the show and all that stuff. 550 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: So and I don't think I'll be able to do 551 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: the show from the city because of the logistics of it. 552 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: So but no, I mean, you'll have a fine time. 553 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: But I was raised, I'm I'm actually younger than Eddie. 554 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 1: But I guess I took this stuff more seriously because 555 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: when I was coming up in radio, I had bosses 556 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: that were like, listen, you take vacation between February and 557 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: September because we can take a couple days around Christmas 558 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: and New Year's. But this is where we make our profit. 559 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: This is where we have the biggest audiences during football season, 560 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: and that's the most people listening. And so I've always 561 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: kind of followed that. And people have time off, they 562 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: take time off when they want, it's not as important 563 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: to them. Then you do your thing. 564 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 3: And the NFL season is like Christmas for us or 565 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 3: huge NFL fans. Why would you want to miss radio 566 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 3: shows during Christmas? 567 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 5: Oh? 568 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the heavy lifting is in like May 569 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: and June. That's the heavy lifting, right, That's that's where 570 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,479 Speaker 1: things things get a little a little dicey. But anyway, 571 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 1: thank you Jason for that. What else do we have 572 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 1: see here? Jason and Phoenix says, hey, guys, enjoy the 573 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: radio show. On the podcast is Hollering James real? Uh? 574 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: Do you think this is an act? And then he 575 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: made the Yeah, the other night, Danny James called up 576 00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: and had a vintage Hollering James call. He was snowing, 577 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: but we think he snored and fargate at the same time. 578 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: We're pretty sure that he had a special which and 579 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: then Jason says, not even possible. Well, first thing, Jason, 580 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 1: I don't know how long you've been listening, but I 581 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: actually have met hollering James. It seems like he's not real. 582 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: I met him, and yeah, he's He's quite quite the character. 583 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,719 Speaker 3: Who was more impressive when you met them in person? 584 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 3: Hollering James or helmet Man. 585 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: Huh uh, Well they're both cut out of the same cloth. 586 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 1: How about that whatever wing we come from as human beings, 587 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 1: Hollering James and helmet Man very similar, very similar.

Surfer Todd, the comedian, 590 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: great character and his wife Ben. 591 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 3: After we make our millions, like we signed million, multimillion 592 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 3: dollar contracts, it would be so cool to start a 593 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 3: radio network where we only employ dudes like that, Like 594 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 3: we give helmet Man his own daily show. 595 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: I'm actually on the live air, Yes, you're on the. 596 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 3: And after Helmet Man it's Surfer Todd and after weed 597 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 3: Man comes on the air.

But when he gets on the 607 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 3: air with you, I don't know. There's something about his cadence, 608 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 3: his voice, something that irritates me a little bit. 609 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to decapitate a goat. How many legal disclaimers 610 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: would we have to have for the Doc Mike Medical Hour? 611 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: Doc Bobs?

Because of all 619 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: the drugs you could have. I don't know, Like. 620 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,399 Speaker 3: I think I think that you missed out a little 621 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 3: bit because you have Poppy picking against Lorraine right now, 622 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 3: But imagine Poppy picking against Holler and James. Like one 623 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 3: snore you know, is this team two snores is the 624 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 3: home team. Yeah, that's what you do.

Well, that was the single greatest 627 00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,319 Speaker 1: thing that we have done in any game show is 628 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:04,240 Speaker 1: the night that James played the game too much, not enough, fastest. 629 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 1: All that was hilarious. Should have been a national story. 630 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: Bad job that we didn't get enough promotion out of that. 631 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 3: That honestly was your Mark Coney opportunity. 632 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: That was the greatest night right there that we will 633 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,319 Speaker 1: never and people have said, I've gotten emails Danny from 634 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 1: fans of the show They're like, why don't you do 635 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 1: that again?
