These are actual 20 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 1: letters by actual listeners. We have not done the mail 21 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 1: Bag in a couple of weeks, and we are back 22 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,919 Speaker 1: at it here today. So the first one up from 23 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: Andy from South Carolina Wrights and he says, hey, Ben, 24 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: Are you mourning that this is the last Sunday of 25 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: the NFL regular season? Which is what I just said, Andy, 26 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: but you're not listening because it's a podcast. No, to 27 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: answer to the question, I am not mourning that this 28 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: is the last Sunday of the NFL regular season. I 29 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: have been around a couple of years, and while we 30 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: love the NFL, it's exceptional for business, it's absolutely fantastic 31 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: and all of that, the silly season is also exceptionally 32 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: good and often often just as good, just as good 33 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: because you have the I'm sorry to phrase it, in 34 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: the offseason. No one really loses, right. People think that 35 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: they might their team might be losing, but there's always 36 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: this cock eyed optimism which has always been mind blowing 37 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: to me. So No, and the NFL regular season ends today. 38 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: We have the playoffs, which are fun, right, We like 39 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,519 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Those are always good. There'll be some breath 40 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: taking moments in the playoffs, electrifying games, and there'll be 41 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 1: a lot of bad games as we navigate our way 42 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 1: through the playoffs, and some of the takes that we've 43 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: had all year will be validated, which is always fun 44 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: hot take validation, and then we'll slide into the coaching 45 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: mary go round the coaching carousel, as we like to 46 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: call it, and then the NFL combine, and then certain events, 47 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: these pillars of the NFL offseason. So we'll be okay, Andy, 48 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: we'll be fine. And the good news about this being 49 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: the last Sunday in the NFL, you don't have to 50 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: watch the Raiders play or the Jets play, not that 51 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 1: we watch them play anyway any reasonable person, though any 52 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: reasonable person would say, well, it's good not to have 53 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: to watch, even by chance stumbling onto a Raiders or 54 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: Jets gime. So but thanks for your concern, Andy, I 55 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: appreciate that now there are people that do what I 56 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: do for a living that are not on the same page. 57 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: That they will not know what to do with themselves 58 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: once the NFL winds down, and they'll be scrambling and 59 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: trying to adjust and all of that. But we don't 60 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: have that problem. We don't. Next up on the mail 61 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: bag is Jade, a wingman from just outside Knoxville, Tennessee. 62 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: He says it was a bummer hearing that Big Sexy 63 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: about Big Sexy on the fifth hour, he said, but 64 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: I'm glad that you told the story as it was 65 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: from before my time as a listener. JT says. The 66 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: last several years have brought many great losses to the 67 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: Valord Militia, and you are right, Overnight radio is different. 68 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 1: JT says. The reason it's a militia is because we 69 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: kind of have a bind together, even if we are 70 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: all from different backgrounds and places. Yeah, that's the magic 71 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: of it, right, We all kind of come together. We 72 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: have one common goal, which is trying to stay awake 73 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: at night and maybe even talk from sports. So the 74 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: email continues from JT. So that being said, what else 75 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: in your life gives you fulfillment like the time you 76 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: spend talking into the microphone, be it live radio or 77 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: a podcast, JT says, For me, even though I spend 78 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: so many hours behind the wheel of a truck, I 79 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: love to get out on my Harley and take on 80 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: the open road, this time taking in God's beauty and 81 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: enjoying the fresh air. That's wonderful. There you go, and 82 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: he says he he says, a great Sunday. Look forward 83 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: to listening to the live show when you return from 84 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: a well deserved break. That's our buddy, JT. The wingman 85 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: who's been to a bunch of Mallard meet and greets 86 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: over the years. Hopefully we'll run into JT at some 87 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: point here in twenty twenty six, with tentative plans to 88 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: have several big Mallard meet and greets all over the place, 89 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: depending on a few other things, but some of these 90 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: will definitely happen, And whether all of them happen, my 91 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: guess is based on past experience. Probably not, because people 92 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: flake and things happen and whatnot. But we will get 93 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: out and about and hang out with you, hopefully JT 94 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: and some of the other guys. As far as what 95 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: gives me fulfillment in my time, I don't know if 96 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: there's any one thing. I spend so much of my 97 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: time JT preparing for the radio show or podcasts or 98 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: things like that, so I don't have too much free time. 99 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: I've had a lot of free time the last couple 100 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: of weeks because of limited work, although I've still been 101 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: doing Benny Versus the Penny, which is a labor of love, 102 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: more so this year than in years past. Benny Versus 103 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 1: the Penny on YouTube you can still watch that. For 104 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: the final Sunday of the NFL regular season, we'll be 105 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: back for the playoffs next week. But I enjoyed looking 106 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: and traveling around. I don't get out on the road 107 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: and drive just to drive. I don't have a Harley. 108 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: I'm not a Harley guy. JT the Wingman. But I 109 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: do like traveling and seeing new places, and spend a 110 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: lot of time in the last couple weeks catching up 111 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: with some family. So that's been a lot of fun 112 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 1: and it gives me some level of fulfillment. Ferg Dog 113 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: writes in from the winter wonderland of Fullerton. He says, 114 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: happy New Year, Ben and Danny G. This email might 115 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: seem a little familiar, but last time I sent it, 116 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: Danny G accidentally nuked the podcast, So just act like 117 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: it's the first time you're reading it all. I will 118 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: pretend that I have not seen this email, and hopefully 119 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: this one will actually make the podcast. We'll see stay 120 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: tuned developing hot dot dot dot. Ferg Doog says, you 121 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: were not wrong, Ben, when you go on vacation, I 122 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: go on vacation. The second I hear and sitting in 123 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: for Big Ben in the intro, I immediately turn off 124 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: the radio. I don't even stick around long enough to 125 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: find out who's filling in, Ferg Dog says, like you 126 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: always say, the most valuable thing people have is their time. 127 00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: It's not my money, it's your time. He said, h 128 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: this is not money, it's your time. And I choose 129 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: not to spend my free time listening to blank blank 130 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: blank blank. I hope you understand you are free to 131 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,559 Speaker 1: do what you want. For a dog, you are free. 132 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: Although I do think I still get credit, although it's 133 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: kind of weird over the holidays, if people are listening. However, 134 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: I would imagine that if the numbers go down when 135 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: I'm not there, that's not a bad thing, meaning that 136 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: the company knows the value of the person that normally 137 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 1: hosts the show. But I have no idea how all 138 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: that works, he says. Have you guys heard about this company? Heleon, 139 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: they're great. I get all my Flintstone vitamins from them. 140 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: Do you take a daily vitamin or do you think 141 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: they're a total scam? Says Ferg Dog. Well, even if 142 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: they don't work the way they're exactly designed vitamins. I 143 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 1: know the placebo effect is a big thing. That there 144 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: are certain vitamins that I take on a semi regular basis. 145 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: But if you want me to go on a long 146 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: rant about vitamins. This is not going to happen right now, 147 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: not today. Maybe next week or the week after. It 148 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: could happen, but not right now, Lucky Tony writes.

Scientists have claimed a new dark matter 163 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: theory that could explain the existence of a hidden universe. 164 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: It says, Ben, can you please give me some insight 165 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: on this. That's from Eddie in Tampa. So I read 166 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: the story. I wonder how much of this is bull 167 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: crap and how much of this is legit. But the 168 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: story said that dark matter, which is a invisible substance 169 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: that makes up for five to six of the universe. 170 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: But until now scientists assumed it was created during the 171 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: Big Bang, but they have now theorized it could have 172 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: very well followed days after the universe again, so like 173 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: there's a second there were two big bangs, bang bang 174 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: like that, you know. And this is a going to 175 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: a University of Texas Austin physicist, So Eddie, the key 176 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: part of this is theorized theorized. That's like me giving 177 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: an opinion. This is a theory on what may or 178 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: may not have happened, the new dark big Bang theory 179 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: and all that. And I continue to go by my 180 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: theory that there is a whole lot of other stuff 181 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: out there, a lot of things out there. Now. My 182 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: belief is a lot of these critters and creatures that 183 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:37,319 Speaker 1: are flying in the sky at night, and these unidentified 184 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: flying objects are things that are living deep in the oceans. 185 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: That's been my theory, My recent theory. I've had that 186 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: for the last couple of years, actually longer than that, 187 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: longer than that. So there you go. Do they have 188 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: to remake Eddie The Big Bang theory to the Two 189 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: Big Bangs? Sounds like a movie that Lucky Tony would 190 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: watch in his spare of time, The two Big Bang, 191 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: And Lucky Tony's like, well, I'll watch that as long 192 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: as the Bears win the Super Bowl. Reggie from Detroit 193 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: writes in Good to Hear From Reggie, a regular email 194 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: contributor to this podcast. Reggie says, boys, welcome to twenty 195 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 1: twenty six. I wanted to get your thoughts on no 196 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: Stradamus and his big predictions for the new year. That's 197 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: from Reggie from Motown. I did see this story, Reggie, 198 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: although much like the previous story from Eddie the guy 199 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: from Tampa who sent a story from a professor or 200 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,839 Speaker 1: a psychia psychiatrist, a physicist, there we go, dummy, a 201 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: physicist from the University of Texas talking about two Big Bangs. 202 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: It was that theorized, which is a bit of a 203 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 1: weasel word, theorized. Well, this story, Reggie about Nostradamus, not 204 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: nostro genus. He lives in Seattle, but no Damas, and 205 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 1: it says that even though Nostru Damis is known as 206 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: the prophet of doom, that he never explicity explicitly wrote 207 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 1: predictions for the year twenty twenty six, which is amusing. 208 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: This is in the now full disclosure. Reggie sent me 209 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: a story which is from the New York Post, and 210 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: Reggie sent me the story and he explained that these 211 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: are the big headline here is you know, Nostra Damas 212 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: writes predictions for the year twenty twenty six. However, it 213 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 1: says in the fine print, if I'm reading this properly 214 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 1: and it is rather early while we're recording this podcast, 215 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: it says that Nostradamis never explicitly wrote predictions for twenty 216 00:13:54,600 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: twenty six. However, however, a cousin of but however true 217 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: believers in the bat blank which means bat shit, they 218 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: looked to the number twenty six and they saw the 219 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 1: following disasters. So this is again much like the previous story. 220 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: This is a theory, a theory Reggie that says we 221 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: are going to have rivers of blood, plagues of bees, 222 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: and death by lightning. Ooh, do do do do do 223 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: do do do Do Do do do do do do 224 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: do Yes. Well, they call them the prophet of doom. 225 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: Are we gonna have rivers of blood? I'm gonna go know. 226 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: Will there be a river that is dyed red? Eh? Yeah? 227 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: Likely around February according to my crystal ball, right around 228 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: the time that we have fun, fun fun in Valentine's Day. 229 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: A plague of bees. I'm sure at some point there'll 230 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: be a bunch of bees that attack someone and they 231 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: will die this year because of bees. Death by lightning. Yes, 232 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: people will die. They will be hit by lightning. Someone 233 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: probably already has been hit by lightning and died. My 234 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: grandfather was hit by lightning. He lived, though he didn't die. 235 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: He lived a long life and made it all the 236 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: way to the age of ninety and then that was that. 237 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: But he did get hit by lightning. Kevin from La 238 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: rights in and says exciting news. Ben, I know you 239 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: like UFOs. I'd like to hear you host Coast to 240 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: Coast sometime for George Norie. Well from your lips to 241 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: God's Ears, Kevin, I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen, 242 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: but I wouldn't do it. If they asked me, I 243 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: would do it. I would love to sit in and 244 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: talk about extraterrestrials and chemtrails and the underworld and all that. Anyway, 245 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: Kevin wanted to get our thoughts on an Air Force 246 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: nuclear specialist claiming that Donald Trump could release bombshell UFO 247 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: pictures soon. This guy named Jean, a national security expert, 248 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: and well, I says former ex Air Force nuclear protection 249 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: specialist said that the public may at the very least 250 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: be given enough to satisfy the collective. Itch is the 251 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: way the story was written here. So first of all, Kevin, 252 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: thank you of thinking of me when you think of 253 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: UFOs or unidentified flying objects whatever I mean, whatever they're 254 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: calling UFOs these days. Donald Trump was president for four years. 255 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: He then took a four year break for the weekend 256 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: at Bernie's Experience in the White House, and now he's 257 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: back and he's heading into another year and so far 258 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: nothing And as I understand it, based on watching a 259 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: bunch of documentaries and reading some stories on the dark web, 260 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: that not only Trump, these photos have been around. Let's 261 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: put it that with these photos of whatever that stuff is, 262 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: whatever those things are, has been around since at least 263 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: the nineteen forties and so Trump had access to all 264 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,959 Speaker 1: that stuff and didn't release it. So I am a 265 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: bit skeptical, a bit skeptical that we're gonna see any 266 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 1: any real photographs. And plus with the age of AI, 267 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 1: good luck everyone. So well, that's just AI. And the 268 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:25,360 Speaker 1: same theme continues Kevin, as we had with Reggie from 269 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: Detroit and Eddie Getty's in Tampa. Those guys sent stories. 270 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: There's a weasel word right here. It's a fun game. 271 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: I should I should just do a podcast, spot the 272 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: weasel word? Where's the weasel? Pop goes the weasel? Well 273 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: in this one, Kevin could is the weasel word? Could? 274 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: I could get a daytime show in twenty twenty six 275 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: and make legitimate money. I could do that. I'm not, 276 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 1: but I could. I could wake up one morning, get 277 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: a phone call from some corporate muckety muck and say, hey, 278 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: we want you to go to the Dreda. So I 279 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: don't want to go to the day ship, all right, 280 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: we'll pay you what coward's making. Okay, I'm there, sign 281 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: me up. I'll change my entire schedule around Rob from 282 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: the six one nine. For those who don't know that, 283 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: Sundaye go beautiful Sunday A go, Rob writes, and he 284 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: says from my old radio stomping rounds, he says, Ben, 285 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 1: I was reading this week about a castle that was 286 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: uncovered in France under a hotel, and it made me wonder, 287 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 1: what do you think is under the Malor Mansion? From 288 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 1: your radio friend Rob in the six to one nine. Well, 289 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:40,199 Speaker 1: thank you, Rob, appreciate that. And so what do I 290 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 1: think is under the Malor Mansion? I'm going to go 291 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 1: out and a limb here and say, a lot of dirt, 292 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 1: a lot of dirt, and if you dig all the 293 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 1: way down, you'll find a willy mammoth. And then if 294 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: you keep digging, you'll get to the core of the 295 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: earth and there'll be a lot of heat, so we 296 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 1: are told. Although I still get emails every once in 297 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: a while from the Hollow Earth Society. So it is possible, 298 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: Rob from the six to one to nine, it is 299 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: possible that if you go down far enough, there's a 300 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: whole world in the middle of the planet little knowme, 301 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: people that live there and live their lives and all that. Now, 302 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 1: as far as the story Rober was referencing, this is 303 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,880 Speaker 1: kind of cool. So there was a fourteenth century castle 304 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 1: that was discovered in the middle of a town, which 305 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: is not like a small town, it's a decent sized 306 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: town in France. It was situated under the courtyard of 307 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: a hotel. The six hundred and forty year old castle. 308 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 1: Think about that has been confirmed as the Chateau de Hermin. 309 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,199 Speaker 1: It was built in the thirteen eighties. Think about that 310 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: for a second, by John six the Conquer, John six, 311 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: the Conquer. Between these spring in autumn of last year, they 312 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: say that the archaeologist, the excavation people carried out an 313 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: excavation by the National Institute of Preventative Archaeological Research. That's 314 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: a mouthful in rap is what they're called in rap 315 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: And they uncovered it. So my question, and I did 316 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: not read the whole story, maybe it's in here rob 317 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: and if somebody knows the answer is like, how does 318 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: that stuff happen? Like how does that much dirt? Did 319 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: they just bury the castles back in the like the 320 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: fifteen hundreds they say, all right, we're done with this castle, 321 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: let's just put a bunch of dirt on top of it. 322 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: Or did land just move around that much? Was there 323 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,719 Speaker 1: massive earthquakes or something like? How does that much dirt 324 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: get on top of a chateau. I'd love to know that. 325 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: I guess I could go down a rabbit hole and 326 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: figure it out myself, but it's more fun just to 327 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: have you do the work for me. It is crazy, though, 328 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: And then what do you do with it? Do they 329 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: just leave it and then have like a doorway where 330 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: you can go down and check out the chateau of 331 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 1: John six the Conqueror. Good nicknames? Good nicknames they had 332 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: back in the thirteen hundreds, John six the conquer I wonder, though, 333 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 1: did they call them by those names or are those 334 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 1: names that were given to them long after their death? 335 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 1: Did you have to address John six the Conqueror? Please 336 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: hello John six the Conqueror. Could you call them John? 337 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 1: I don't know. A guy named Dallas writes in on 338 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: the mailbag on the fifth hour. Dallas is from Ohio, 339 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: which is rather odd because he's named Dallas. Anyway, he says, hey, guys, 340 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 1: I know Danny's a big fan of these I'm assuming 341 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: you are too as well, Ben, but they're dead. He's 342 00:21:54,480 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 1: talking about leggings story here says sales overall are dropping 343 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 1: for the leggings very popular with the ladies. Lulu Man 344 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: laid off one hundred and fifty people in June, I say, 345 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: for a variety of reasons. However, these sales of leggings 346 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: have gone down to the point now according to this 347 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 1: story that Dallas sent that if you're spotted wearing leggings, 348 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: that you're considered a boomer. So Dallas is Ben and Danny, 349 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: are you mourning the loss of these leggings? Well, Dallas, 350 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: first of all, boots on the ground, traveling around, going 351 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: around to different locations. This story is bull pucky. Bull 352 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: Pucky is what I don't buy it. I don't buy it. 353 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: Lulu Man, the overpriced clothing store. Have they laid off people? 354 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 1: It's possible, possible people aren't spending the money on their product. 355 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: In terms of seeing leggings, I see them all over 356 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: the place. I don't what has replaced the legging because 357 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: when I go out, I notice it's hard not to notice. 358 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: In certain locations there's a lot of people wearing leggings. 359 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: So I don't buy it, at least not where I am. 360 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: Maybe in Ohio or Arkansas or Kentucky or Tennessee. I 361 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 1: don't I'm not there. I just know based on my experience. 362 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: This is seems like total nonsense. That's what it sounds 363 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 1: like to me. All right. Next up, Louis from k 364 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: C rights in and he says, it's a new year, Ben, 365 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: and that means new names. Are you on board with 366 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: the TikTok name game? All right? So Louis sends, there's 367 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: a lot of words. Louis, there's too many words. Just 368 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 1: sum it up in a couple of sentences. My man, 369 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: let me skim through this, blah blah. So this story 370 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: claims that, according to a baby naming website, the young 371 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: young people in their twenties having kids are dumping the traditional. 372 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 4: Names like Mike and Dave and I don't know, Samantha 373 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 4: or Cindy or whatever names you think are normal names, 374 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 4: and they're choosing names that sound magical, mythical, nostalgic, or 375 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 4: from TikTok. 376 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: They're using big words, mixing together romancey, ancient epics, pop 377 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: star lore and all kinds of nonsense. I mean, there's 378 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,439 Speaker 1: a lot of big words here that I don't know 379 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: how to say. I don't know how to say. So 380 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 1: they say there's two waves of names they have noticed here, 381 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 1: and some of the names are Emery's cassion Aslan Ambrose. 382 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: I feel like I've heard that before, Ali Staire. You've 383 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: got names that are also popping up from let's see here. 384 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: You've got Coda, kaya Jinu, I don't, I don't know 385 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: whatever it is. You know, you called the name a kid, 386 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: and then you hope the kid likes the name, and 387 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: if not, they'll change the name and they'll call them 388 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: they'll be called by nicknames. But I will tell you 389 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: it's a curse to put on a kid. When you 390 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: give a kid a name that is not a standard name, 391 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 1: that's got a weird spelling, it becomes a huge issue 392 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 1: in school, you know. You know what I'm saying. Louis 393 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: you feel me on that. Yeah, Like you know, because 394 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 1: I don't say it, I don't spell it, you know. 395 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: And then also when you go on vacation with the 396 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 1: family and you try to get one of those do 397 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: they still have those little license plates or the key 398 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,640 Speaker 1: chains with your name on it? And then you're like, hey, 399 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 1: can I can I get a key chain with my 400 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: name on it when I go to Disney World? Well, no, no, 401 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: you can't, because you've got like extra vowels in there, 402 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: and there's extra thing Ama Jigs and the dew Hickeys 403 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: and all that. They don't have that. So okay, Adam 404 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: from Viva Las Vegas. Adam writes in he says, Ben 405 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: and Danny, I know it's this is not a sporty podcast, 406 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: he says, but I had a sports question. So what 407 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: is your take on the Micah Parsons versus Jerry Jones battle? 408 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,919 Speaker 1: All right, so I did see this, Adam. I'm not 409 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 1: completely blocked off from the sporting world, and we'll be 410 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 1: back tonight doing the radio show live for the first 411 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 1: time in twenty twenty six. And so Micah Parsons was 412 00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 1: laughing because Matt eber Flews, the defensive coordinator at least 413 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: for today of the Dallas Cowboys, made some comment about 414 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: how one of the reasons I'm paraphrasing this, Adam, So 415 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 1: I know I'm not getting exactly right, but as I 416 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,880 Speaker 1: understand it, Michah Parsons was goofing on Matt Eberflus, who 417 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 1: made it seem like, well, if I only had Michael Parsons, 418 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: the Cowboys defense would have been much better this year. 419 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah, blah blah. And then Parsons came out 420 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,479 Speaker 1: and says, you want me to feel bad, and then 421 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: he said Jerry Jones slandered his name to the Cowboys 422 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: media and national media for months, and then he went 423 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: on and said a bunch of other stuff. So now, 424 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, I believe he confirmed this on one of 425 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: his radio shows that he does this week, this past week. 426 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that Jerry confirmed this, and Jerry's excited. 427 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 1: The Cowboys play their final game of the season today 428 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: and that means that tomorrow they become the top story again. 429 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: That it's no longer about the games, It's about will 430 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: Jerry keep Dak Prescott, Will Jerry fire this guy? Well, 431 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: you keep the coaching staff and all that stuff. But 432 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,120 Speaker 1: in terms of Michael Parsons, yeah, I mean that's how 433 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: all of this works. I learned this years ago with 434 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees. Whenever 435 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,719 Speaker 1: they got rid of a popular player, they would always 436 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: conveniently leak stories trashing the player. And this goes back many, 437 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: many many years and the Dallas Cowboys. All these teams 438 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,479 Speaker 1: do the same playbook. You have a popular player, why 439 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: would you get rid of a popular player? The fan 440 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: base loved Micah Parsons. He loved playing video games and 441 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: doing cheesy podcasts with the fan base, and so like 442 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: you get rid of that guy. He's been productive, although 443 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: a stat bandito, as we have pointed out on the 444 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: radio show, if you're gonna get rid of a guy 445 00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: like that, you have to I ans some stories to 446 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: make it look a little little shady, and so they 447 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: all do it. Everyone is doing it, Timothy from Boca. 448 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: But I don't feel bad for Micah Parsons. He wanted 449 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: to get the bag. He got the bag. Now he's 450 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: got to live in northern Wisconsin. I hope he enjoys 451 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: visiting with my brother eating cheese curts. Timothy from Boca 452 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: writes in another sporty question, says, my Dolphins have hired 453 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: Troy Aikman as a consultant to try to find their 454 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: new general manager, Ben and Danny. Should I trust Troy Aikman? 455 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: All right? So, Timothy, my response is this is one 456 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: of the great empty gigs of all time. I've worked 457 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: in radio and broadcasting my entire adult life, and every 458 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: once in a while I will get an email from 459 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: a consultant or I'll get dragged into a meeting with 460 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: a consultant. Now it doesn't happen very much anymore, so 461 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm allowed to just unload. I want 462 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: to be a consultant. It is like the job that 463 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard had where he didn't have to do anything 464 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: and he's got paid a bunch of money to talk 465 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: about green stuff. It's a no show job. It's a 466 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: no show job. There's no price to pay. It's like 467 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: consultant comes in like treeatman comes ins. All right, I'm 468 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: gonna interview candidates. I would assume talk to people, recommend 469 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: people for the dolphin job, Timothy, and then he'll hire 470 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: the the boob. Some boob comes in there. I'll hire 471 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: that person and then it's like, okay, that's that's fine. 472 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: And then the person sucks and Aikman's back on Monday 473 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: Night football and there's no accountability. There's none of that's 474 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 1: I'd love to be a consultant. It would be great. 475 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: Sign me up for that. You'll pay me a lot 476 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: of money and I'll give you advice. I give advice anyway. 477 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: I get paid, not tons of money, but I get 478 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: paid enough. I'll take a big check and I'll be 479 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: your consultant. What a gig that is. Mike from so 480 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: Cal Right saying on the mail bag questions, thank you guys. 481 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: If you want to send questions in for a future 482 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: edition of the mail Bag, you can do that real 483 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: fifth hour at gmail dot com. That's real fifth hour 484 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 1: at gmail dot com. And Mike says, Ben, I voted 485 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: for you as the national sportscaster there. I did a 486 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: write in ballot. Unfortunately, Sean McDonough won the award. How 487 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: come you never win these things? Well, congratulations to Sean 488 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: McDonough for winning the award. I saw him call the 489 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 1: which game was that? Old miss? And Georgia Georgia saw that. Well, 490 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: the reason, Mike, is that I don't win these things 491 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: is I don't really think about them. I don't know 492 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: about them, and I'm not part of the cabal of 493 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: sports media. You have the haves and the have nots. 494 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: You've got the cool kids and the non cool kids, 495 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 1: and typically it's the same five to ten people that 496 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: win these awards. They just rotate it. They just rotate it, 497 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: and that's how that goes. That's how that goes. So 498 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: Kirby from Phoenix Rights and I was actually in Phoenix 499 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: I talked about that the other day on the podcast 500 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 1: Kirby from Phoenix Rights and it says, Ben, have you 501 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: you have some let me do that over. Kirby says, Ben, 502 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: you have said you have issues sleeping? Will you be 503 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: turning to micro dosing. So this is a term that 504 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: seems to be becoming very popular recently, micro dosing. This 505 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: is according to Kirby here says microdosing psychedelics improves the 506 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: quality of sleep. Small amounts of psychedelics could assist individuals 507 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: sleeping and creating a healthier lifestyle. Yeah, sure, sure, Kirby. 508 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: I'll talk to my doctor Jed who fled. I'll get 509 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 1: him to send me some stuff or hollering James and 510 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 1: I'll be I'll be good to go on that. I 511 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 1: want to thank who else cash JJ from the Bay 512 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 1: And there's a few other emails we did not have 513 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: time to get to.
