1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich

5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house of hot takes,

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben

26
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: here we go. Let's strike. I mean in the mailbag.

27
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: You know how we start the mailbag right here bag

28
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: thanks to our buddy ohio Al who sent that one in.

29
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: We honor ohio Al every week with that little male ditty.

30
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: And let's get into you've got all right. First one

31
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: comes from moving man Matt Currently. He says he's in

32
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: Barstow but headed to Vegas. I wonder if he had

33
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: a taco from Del Taco, the famous Del Taco and Barstow.

34
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: So it's original Del Taco, right or one of the Yeah,

35
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: that was one of the very first Del tacos. And

36
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 1: if you go there to this day, they put more

37
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: beans inside the burritos there. Yes, their claim to fame.

38
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: They have the Barstow menu. Yeah, the burritos like the

39
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: size of your head. Wow, if you don't know what

40
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: Del Taco is, because it's not all over the country.

41
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: It's like Taco Bell, but it's the you know, yeah,

42
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,839
Speaker 1: a little more Mexican? Is it more Mexican? I think

43
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: I think they those are gringo tacos, the crunchy tacos

44
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: that I like. There they are, but I think the

45
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: burritos are a little more Mexican. Movie Man Matt says,

46
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: would you buy the Mallard billboard? It's currently for sale

47
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: and a new Mallard billboard will becoming a more luxurious one.

48
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: It is a piece of show history after all. Well,

49
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 1: that's very flattering, moving man, Matt, that you would think

50
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: that I would want to purchase that, Ay, that I

51
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: would want of course I would want it, be I

52
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: have nowhere to put it. It's massive. I can't put

53
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: it anywhere and take up too much space. And see

54
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: I couldn't afford it. So other than that, uh, we

55
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: need somebody else to step up. But thank you for

56
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: the very kind offer. I do appreciate that, but unfortunately, uh,

57
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: can I do it now? He has a question for Danny.

58
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: Moving Man Matt says, what was the coolest thing about

59
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: being able to get former President Donald Trump on the

60
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: phone for Clay when you did it? And tell that story, Danny.

61
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: For those that have not heard you were producing for

62
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: Clay Travis. You were the reason, part of the reason

63
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: that Clay became the new Rush Limball. You helped him,

64
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: he helps you vice versa. But when you were producing

65
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: his show, you had some very interesting guests. And you've

66
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: got to do something that I'm very jealous of. To

67
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: talk to a president, the president of the United States

68
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: most powerful position, uh finger on the nuclear bombs and

69
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: you talked to this guy. What was that like? Yeah,

70
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: I haven't got to talk about that on our podcast. Uh,

71
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: it was definitely scary that first time he called to

72
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: be answering the phone and knowing that our phone system

73
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: is not fool proof. I just totally assume that the

74
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: phones are not gonna work. So let's see how this goes,

75
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: and me the fool running the phone box. I turned

76
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: on the lights extra bright in the studio because, as

77
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: you know, Ben Roberto and I like the lights to

78
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: be low in there, like mood lighting. Yes, I set

79
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: the mood in there when I'm in the studios. But

80
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: I turned the lights on him like I gotta see

81
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: what I'm doing. And then I was sweating it because

82
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: Clay's teasing this obviously all morning. I'm getting text messages

83
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: from bosses that normally aren't awake at that time, texting

84
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: me if they are listening at that time. Usually I

85
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: don't hear from them. So I'm hearing from all these

86
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: different people. My phone is blowing up. I'm trying to

87
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: concentrate on the show that was live and what's going

88
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,239
Speaker 1: on on the phone, and then Clay gets nervous, why

89
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: do our phones not work? The crazy part, Ben was

90
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: that I figured that when the call did finally come

91
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: in during the time that the call was expected, that

92
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: you know, it would be like the guy in charge

93
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: of White House Communications, the secretary, somebody official, okay, stand

94
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: by for the president. Because I had guests on that

95
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: show who were like senators and stuff like that, and

96
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: they even had press secretaries who would come on first

97
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: make sure the connection was good for the interview, and

98
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: then when it was time, they would say, okay, and

99
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: here's the senator, and then the senator would come on

100
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: the phone. In my mind, that's what I'm expecting. The

101
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: phone's ringing, and in Clay's air, I tell him phones

102
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: ringing so he could mentally prepare to set up this

103
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: live interview. Now that it's time, I pick up the

104
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: phone and it's just Donald J. Trump himself on his soul.

105
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: Does he say like, hey, don't be rude. Did you

106
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:33,679
Speaker 1: say that? So I'm like, you know, he answered Fox

107
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: Sports Radio and he was like uh and he says

108
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: Danny and I say yeah, and he's like, this is

109
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: the president and it's great, right. So I'm like, holy

110
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: sh it, this guy just called me by my name.

111
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: Isn't a press secretary? What the hell? The best part is,

112
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: you know, Clay's doing this whole intro, getting the scene

113
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: set and everything before he's gonna bring him on. So

114
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: Clay had told me, okay, you get him because Claire,

115
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: He's also thinking I'm on the phone with somebody official.

116
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: He's like when when he's ready, and he's the one

117
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: on the line, tell me in my ear. So now

118
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: instead of talking to a secretary, I'm actually shooting the

119
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: ship with the president. He's asking me about how the

120
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: morning's go in, and it was the coolest thing. I'm

121
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: just like, hey, everything's good here, and I kind of

122
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: joke around with him and he's like, hey, because you

123
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: have the President on the phone, Clay definitely needs to

124
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: give you a raise. And I said, your lips to

125
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: God's Ears and we're kind of laughing about that, and

126
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: I tell him, Okay, I'm gonna put you on hold

127
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna let Clay know you're ready. And he's like, okay,

128
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: thanks for having me. He's like, by the way, you

129
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: guys have a great show. I love it. So I

130
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: put him on hold, and Roberto's just kind of staring

131
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: at me, like what the fun is going on? So

132
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: I tell Clay, hey, he's ready, Clay brings him on

133
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: the air, does that interview with him. No matter what

134
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: your politics are, it's obviously super cool to have a

135
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: sitting president live on your radio show, you know. And

136
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: most of these guys ben if they're if they're a

137
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: big shot, whether it's a coach, a big time athlete,

138
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: an actor, somebody like that. At the end, when the

139
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: host says thank you, and they say thank you and

140
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: they part ways, they'll just hang up. Yeah. I've had

141
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: people hang up in the middle of interviews, Danny, as

142
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: you know on this podcast. I've interviewed people and right

143
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: in the middle I gotta go by. Uh. Sometimes I

144
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: don't even say by. They just hang up. When you're

145
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: producing a show and you have a guest. Usually they're gone,

146
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: Like you'll go to the phone and you'll pick it

147
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: up just to see and you'll say it's a courtesy.

148
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: There's a lot of times I'll pick up the phone

149
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: and I'll say, hey, thanks again for joining us, and

150
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: nobody says anything because they're gone. Well, this time, I

151
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 1: pick up the phone and that's what I'm expecting. But

152
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: he stayed on the line, and so now he's talking

153
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,120

Speaker 1: was to accidentally hang up on the president, And and

190
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: then Clay was like and supposedly he said that you

198
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,960

Speaker 1: if he does ever join the show again, I'm gonna

200
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: ask him if he really said that. So that second

201
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: time Trump called the show, Clay asked him, did you

202
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: tell my producer Danny g that he deserved a raise

203
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,840

207
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: done too many of these calls. That's great, that's awesome.

208
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: It was the all time radio stories that I I listened.

Speaker 1: I remember we were doing the over Night showed. That

210
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,760

00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: like I had to I couldn't believe it. I thought

214
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: there's no way they were rumors. And then it actually

215
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: turned out to be the case. So that was awesome.

271
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: in says, dear Benn and Danny, g it's severe weather

272
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: season again. Here in the Great Plains. We get dust storms, blizzards,

273
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: and tornadoes. Any memorable encounters with any of these situations.

274
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: I've never been in a tornado. I've never been in

275
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: a blizzard. Well, actually, I've been in some nasty snowstorms.

276
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was like a blizzard on the

277
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: East Coat. I've got a Boston and New York whatnot.

278
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: I've been in some nasty weather, but not really a

279
00:15:54,880 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 1: real blizzard. Uh. And also also the dust. M I

280
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: have been in a dust storm before, but not like

281
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: a real Great Plains dust storm. So that one I

282
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: was driving in the desert and that was a little

283
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: little wacky a desert storm, which I think was it.

284
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: Does it qualifies as a dust a dust storm? What

285
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: about you, Danny? Have you been in any of those things.

286
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: I've seen a tornado in northern California. They're rare and

287
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: they're not as big as the tornadoes that you might

288
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: see in other parts of the country. But my family

289
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, we were in the l

290
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: A area. Then we moved up to northern California, where

291
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: my mom is from in the San Jose area, but she,

292
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: because of money, settled in the Modesto area. So that's

293
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: right when northern California begins. But the central part of

294
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: the state, and I'll never forget. We were at Brown

295
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: Elementary School playing basketball. My little sister came running and

296
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: she's like, you guys, gotta come home. Mom says, you

297
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: gotta come home because of the tornado. Like tornado, what

298
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: the fund is he talking about? So we get to

299
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: the front of our house us and from there you

300
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: you had a view towards the west end of the

301
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: town and you saw just an ominous sky and a

302
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: tornado from a far distance that was some scary looking ship,

303
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: and people were jumping in their cars and driving the

304
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: other direction. I remember my mom like throwing my little

305
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: baby sister into our car seat, getting everybody into the

306
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:29,239
Speaker 1: car and driving the other direction. And it was on

307
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: the news that night and everything. I think it tore

308
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: up some part of the town on the outskirts, but

309
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: it didn't make its way into the city. Yeah, but

310
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: it's the only time I've ever seen anything like that.

311
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: But dude, people that live in the part of the

312
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: country where they see that often or they've seen it

313
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,239
Speaker 1: more than once in their life. Yeah, that's something that

314
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: I think would follow you around in your nightmares. The

315
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: worst weather I've ever been in was in Buffalo. But

316
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: it wasn't snow. It was rain. There was like a

317
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: storm that was passing through Buffalo. Because of the lake,

318
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: it added to the water. It was so bad. I

319
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: was on the highway and driving out of Buffalo. I

320
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: was at a Bills game and I had to stop.

321
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: We could not see where we were going. We had

322
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: to stop on this expressway and I was just waiting

323
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 1: for a car to hit. It hit us from behind.

324
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: It was surreal. I'd never see I didn't know it

325
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: could rain that much. I'm used to California rain. This

326
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 1: was so ridunculous. Oh yeah, it was. It was nuts.

327
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: It was the most ridiculous thing. I thought I was

328
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 1: gonna drown, and then it passed and just kept going

329
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: like nothing happened. That was it. You know, it's water everywhere.

330
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: Fred from Spring, Texas right and says, Hi, guys, can

331
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: either of you drive a stick shift auto? Have you

332
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: ever owned a convertible? What is your current car? Well,

333
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: I have the Mallardmobile. I have the fourth or fifth

334
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: generation of the Mallanmobile, which is like the Batmobile's Mallanmobile.

335
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: I do not know how to dravistick shift, and I

336
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: have never owned a convertible. I have had cars that

337
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: have sun roofs that I consider a fat guys convertible.

338
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: What about your diddy? Yeah, we've talked about cars on

339
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: this podcast before. I loved hot wheels and I loved

340
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: fast cars. When I was a kid, I had a

341
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: poster of a Ferrari, so I thought, Man, when I

342
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: get my license and I get a job, I'm gonna

343
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: get a fast car. So the second car I bought,

344
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: because the first one was a beater. The second one, though,

345
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: was a turbo and it was super fast. After that,

346
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: later in life, I was able to buy a convertible

347
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: Mercedes Benz, which was nice. Got in a wreck. The

348
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: insurance company, as you can guess, did not give me

349
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: my full value back. Of course, yes, that Mercedes Benz

350
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: turned into a Nissan, but with those Nissans. Man, I

351
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: found the three seventi z s and those have been

352
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: my favorite cars the past few years. I'm on my

353
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: second one right now. It's a Heritage Edition, really fast

354
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: and it is it is a clutch, it's a six speed,

355
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: and man, I mean when I have open road, that

356
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: thing flies. It sucks to drive and bumper to bumper traffic,

357
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: but on an open road it's a beauty. Now do

358
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: you drive your cars into the ground or do you

359
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 1: just before that, go and get a new car, because

360
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: I I have lately been driving cars in the ground.

361
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: That's my new thing. I take really really good care

362
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: of my cars. Every week. I make sure it's washed.

363
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: Every week. I clean out the inside. My car right

364
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: now is four and a half years old, and when

365
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: people see it, they think I just bought it recently.

366
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: So that's my trink. It's just keep it, man, treat

367
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: it like a palace. That way. If I do want

368
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: to trade it in, you can get top dollars for it. No,

369
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: that's great. And I used to try to take really

370
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: good care of the cars and then I got married.

371
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: Well now and now it's just the ugly redheaded step child.

372
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: The car. It just gets beaten up. I used to

373
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: never eat in car. I've never eaten the car. I

374
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: would never you know, drink anything of like soda or

375
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: anything like that. When I backed my soda drinking days

376
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: because I don't want to spill any uh. My wife, though,

377
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: has a different perspective on that. She is open minded,

378
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: and so that I lost that battle. But that's anyway.

379
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: Next up, Alan and akeron Ohio birthplace of Lebron and

380
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: Steph Kurt. Yeah, how did your diet change after you

381
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: had your gallbladder removed? Was there any other lifestyle changes? Alan, So,

382
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: I had my gall bladder taken out November three, twenty nineteen.

383
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: I believe it was and I have not really changed

384
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: my diet. I do inter minute fasting, so I don't

385
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: eat as often as other people that have had their

386
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 1: gallbladder taken out. And I have noticed with the inter

387
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: minute fasting, when I go a long time without eating

388
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: and then I eat something, it's off to the races.

389
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: After I eat, I within about forty five minutes to

390
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: an hour. It's shipped creak is what it is. They're

391
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 1: ship's creek. It's a lot of pooping and all that stuff.

392
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: But I really haven't changed my diet. I eat many

393
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: of the same things I've always eaten. I've heard stories

394
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: that some people can it's different for everybody, but I've

395
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: been pretty lucky and out of sight, out of mind,

396
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: I don't think about it. I a gall black is

397
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: very small. Then he can't see I'm I'm showing you.

398
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: It's like very small the actual gall bladder. Now, how

399
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: did you know you needed it taken out? Did you

400
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: have bloating? Like? What are the signs that you need

401
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: that thing out? Well? I almost died, Actually, I had

402
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: gall stones. I did not realize they were goal stones.

403
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: I thought it was heartburk. I had multiple incidents where

404
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: I felt like pain in my chest and I thought

405
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: it was just I had eaten, and it was always

406
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: after I had eaten a really big meal, which is

407
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: the gall bladder. But I didn't put two and two together,

408
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: and so finally I had a massive attack where I

409
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: couldn't clear the gulf stones and I couldn't sleep. I

410
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: was so uncomfortable. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't drink anything,

411
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: I couldn't eat anything. It was just it was terrible.

412
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: I thought I was dying, and so I went to

413
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: the emergency room and they gave me some was it

414
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: morphine I think it was, and within ten minutes it

415
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: cleared the gold stones out and I was I was

416
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: all right. But then I had to stay in the

417
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: hospital because I had so many gold stones. They wanted

418
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: to do the operation. Usually the operations in and out,

419
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: you're done within a few hours, you're back home. But

420
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: I was so fooled up from all of the gulf

421
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: stones and they were really tiny gull stones that had

422
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: gone all over the place. So I had to stay

423
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: for a week. I was like in a hospital for

424
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: almost a week because they had to wait because they

425
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 1: couldn't do the operation because they had to wait for

426
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: everything to kind of clear. And so then I had

427
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: had the procedure done, and yeah, it was pretty wild man,

428
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: pretty pretty well. It was done on November three, but

429
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: I was in the hospital a few days before that.

430
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: And the longest fast I ever had, because I was

431
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 1: on a fast, I went, God, how many hours was it?

432
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: I think it was it was like nineties something hours

433
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: or something like that without eating anything. So yeah, good times.

434
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how you do the fasting. I would

435
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: get so hungry that by the time I got to food,

436
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 1: I think I would overeat. Nah, I'm all right, I'd

437
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: see one hearty meal and that's it. Falls Fan Jimmy

00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,479
Speaker 1: It seems like the world's more open to that and

458
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: people are back to normal, and I'd like to do that.

459
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 1: I don't know that anyone's gonna show up. I live

460
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: in the north Woods now, it's very far and with

461
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: the price of gas and all that. But we will

462
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: invite many people, and hopefully many will be able to

463
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 1: make it. We'll have a great night, a very memorable

464
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: night with all my my friends and our friends from

465
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 1: radio and people that have met over the years that

466
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,719
Speaker 1: are people I like. So hopefully Danny you can make it.

467
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: We can meet your TENDERRONI hopefully I'll meet a meet

468
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: her before then. Yeah, and so yeah, that's the plan.

469
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: What and Dan, was the last concert you you've gotten to?

470
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: That's Jimmy's question for you. Let's see. Oh, speaking of her,

471
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 1: she brought me to see Kane Brown at the Staple

472
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: What it was the Staple Center then and we had

473
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: to show vaccine cards to get in. And uh, it

474
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: was a good concert. Though he is a biracial country star,

475
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 1: it's modern country music. In fact, he even has had

476
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: a couple of hits on Top forty radio. If you

477
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: don't know who came brown is, google them. Just google him.

478
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: That's all you have. Just google them. Yeah, as our

479
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: buddy Mike North used to say, just google them, Um

480
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: say you kids, just google. Yes, we don't need to

481
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: bring Jonas in and uh boy. The last hip hop

482
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: concert I went to, It's been a little while for

483
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: hip hop, but I got to see Bone Thugs and

484
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: Harmony do a little reunion concert. And that's and speak.

485
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: You know, Modesto, like I was talking about a little

486
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: earlier on the podcast, when I went to school there, Ben,

487
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: I was a city kid from southern California reuniting with

488
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: my San Jose family in the Bay. And when you

489
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: would go to the Central Valley in Modesto, in that area,

490
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 1: the kids there, they had a Garth Brooks CD and

491
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: a Doctor dre CD. It was interesting. It was like

492
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: kids wanted to go to a Snoop Dogg concert and

493
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 1: they also wanted to go to a Garth Brooks concert. Okay,

494
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: I was like a country concert. Who's your favorite, Who's

495
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: your who's your favorite country star? That Dirty Boots and

496
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: that's followed me all through my adult life. Um, you know,

497
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: I love to go see country concerts and I love

498
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: to go see hip hop concerts. Yeah. I watched that

499
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: country documentary a few years ago on PBS. Don't if

500
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: you saw that. I did. I was told by somebody

501
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 1: that it's it was about radio, and it is a

502
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: lot about radio and the radio business and how related.

503
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: And they were intertwined country music. Very good documentary by PBS.

504
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,360
Speaker 1: They really nailed that one. And I fell in love

505
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: with all those old country music songs like I loved

506
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: every one of them. In fact, that's in my rotation now,

507
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: many of those old old school country music songs from

508
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: the grand old opry. Yeah, wonderful. Well you're a Johnny

509
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: Cash fan just like Yeah, I love Johnny Cash absolutely

510
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: all right, thank you for that, and enjoy that concert. Yeah,

511
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: I have a good time. How much do you think

512
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: Snoop Dogg gets paid for that? Do you think he

513
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: gets out of that? Probably gets a cool dollars for

514
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: a little live show for one day's work. You've got mail,

515
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: all right, next time we stay in the state of Tennessee,

516
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: j C represent the entire volunteer state, says, Hey, Ben,

517
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: I write you today because I cannot stand Dan Wilkin.

518
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: The man seems to hate sports, but for some reason

519
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: he works in sports journalism. He was one of them

520
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: that seemed to think that if sports came back while

521
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: COVID was happening, that everyone would die. His sports takes

522
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: are so bad that I can just read the headline

523
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: of an article and no, it was written by Doo Doo,

524
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: Dan the Igluman. In all your years working in sports

525
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: talk radio, have you ever come across a radio host

526
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: or a sports journalist that had such awful sports takes

527
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: that it just made you dislike them as a person. Uh. Yeah,

528
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of disingenuous people. I have been

529
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: able to see how they make the hot dogs. And yeah,

530
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: the idea that people are a certain way, both athletes

531
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: and members of the media that are one way publicly

532
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: and complete assholes, completely phony and you know it, but

533
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: you're one of the few people that knows it. And

534
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: it's very it's very eye opening and disappointing at the

535
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: same time, because you hear about people one way and

536
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: then you see them the other way and you're like, well,

537
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: that guy's got a great reputation. He's a complete dick,

538
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: you know, I don't get it. So there was and

539
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: Dan Wilkins a legend for being fear is mongering, fearmongering,

540
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: Sky is falling, Chicken little. This guy has been doing

541
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: that act for a long time. I don't know Dan Wilkin,

542
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: but all I all I hear about him is really

543
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: bad things. His reputation is not very good. Yeah, there's

544
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: one other guy that comes to mind for me, and

545
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: that's Mike Florio. Oh the they call him the Nanny

546
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: Mike Florio. Yeah. Yeah. I had a personal run in

547
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: with him at the Atlanta super Bowl radio row. We

548
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: had set Kwan Barkley scheduled to join Clay Travis on stage.

549
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: Him and his posse rolled in and Clay was in

550
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: the middle of another interview. But I thought, oh, they're

551
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: here a little bit early, you know, so I'll get

552
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: him ready. I'll sit him in our little green room

553
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: here off to the side of our stage. He does

554
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: a bee line though, and he goes over to Florio set,

555
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, well that's all right, but it's

556
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: gonna make him run late to his interview time with us.

557
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: So I go over to Florio set. He's got these

558
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: weenie bodyguards over there. They tell me I'm not allowed there,

559
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: and I said, you have my guest right now, I

560
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: am allowed right here. So I get into it with

561
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: his guys on the set there and and uh, Florio

562
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: walks over to me and he says, yeah, say, Kwan

563
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: is gonna join us on the stage, so you really

564
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: need to talk to his manager because he's probably not

565
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: gonna get over to your set on time. And I

566
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: was like, this little dick, all right. So I get

567
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: to say Kwan's manager, and I'm like, Hey, here's the deal.

568
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be threatening or anything like that,

569
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: but if you piss off Fox Sports Radio, which is

570
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: the number one sports network right now, does that make

571
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: sense just to appease Florio and his little audience and

572
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: the man you're kind of looked at me and he

573
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: was like, all right, well tell you what. I'm gonna

574
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: cut it short with him and we'll get over to

575
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: you on time, maybe two minutes late. So I go

576
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: over there, running more late than that. I'm like, oh,

577
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: these assholes. So I go over there. I don't have

578
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,479
Speaker 1: to say anything the second time, though, Ben I just

579
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: ice grill Florio and the manager, and so Florio says

580
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: goodbye to say Quon on the set and they run

581
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: him over to Clay Talk. And so anytime I see

582
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: that guy on TV, I'm like, funk that Florio guy.

583
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: And of course a lot of people don't like him

584
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: because he comes off really grouchy on the air. Yeah,

585
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: it seems like he's in a bad mood all the time.

586
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: And whenever I see radio or TV guys I like

587
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: to feel like And that's one thing I can say

588
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: about Cowherd what I like about him. I feel like

589
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: he's in a good mood. What I see or hear

590
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: guys that always feel like they're in a bad mood,

591
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't make me want to tune in. Yeah, I

592
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: have not dealt with Actually knew Florio a little bit

593
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: for he became like the Mike for there. He was

594
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: partnered up with a couple other guys on the original

595
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: Pro Football Talk before he partnered up with NBC. And

596
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: back when I was doing Ben Mallory dot Com. He

597
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: he was a lawyer, I believe I think he was

598
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: a lawyer and he was messing around with the internet

599
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: stuff and it was it was a rumor sight. I

600
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: was doing a rumor site. So we were competing against

601
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: each other for eyeballs back in those days. Uh. And

602
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: just to follow up with j C, there is a

603
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: baseball insider. I will not reveal the baseball inside because

00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: j C. That is a good behind the scenes question. Yes,

610
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: thank you, j C. We'd appreciate that. And the mail

611
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: bag continues. Never is this, No, it is never that.

612
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: It is always exciting, fascinating and all of that. So

613
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,439
Speaker 1: who is next? You've got mail? Alright, let's see here

614
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: we have Pierre, our buddy in Springfield, mass Home with

615
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: a pro basketball Hall of Fame. Pierre says, paper or plastic.

616
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 1: When the world shut down two years ago, local grocery

617
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: stores in Springfield implemented a reusable bag policy, which seems

618
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: less hygienic to me. Shortly thereafter, one local chain started

619
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 1: to offer paper bags for a fee of ten cents.

620
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: Much like you, Ben, I steadfastly refused to pay for bags,

621
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: sometimes carrying my groceries by hand. Unfortunately, lately I have

622
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: caved and as you know, Ben, those pickle jars can

623
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: get very heavy and the paper bags aren't very strong. Well,

624
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: that is a pickle problem. It's a real pickle pickle

625
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: to be in, Pierre, I'm right there. As I've talked

626
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: about this before, I do. I cannot stand the paper

627
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:05,720
Speaker 1: bag policy in California, the plastic bag, paper bag policy,

628
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: the charge for the bag, complete rip off, complete scam.

629
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: I also don't like bringing bags. I usually forget to

630
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: bring the bags to the grocery store, so I have

631
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: made many a run where I'm holding my groceries like

632
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: a baby or a football going to the parking lot.

633
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: I've also done the trick where I'll get a grocery

634
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: cart and I'll just leave everything in the cart and

635
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: have them put it back in the cart and then

636
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: take it take it away. So I've done that, you know,

637
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: take it to the car that way. But I usually

638
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: forget the bag. It's a pain in the ass and

639
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: I would rather just buy a plast a new reusable

640
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: bag than spend the money on the disposable bag at

641
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: the store. Because I feel like it's just a waste, Like,

642
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: what's the point. I might as well invest towards the

643
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 1: new bag. Then I'm going to get So I hated,

644
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: I hated, I hated, and it's not fixing the environment

645
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: at all. So stop, okay, stop with your nonsense. Ridiculous anyway,

646
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: Travis from Roseberg, Oregon rights in. As we continue the

647
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: amazing mail bang, Travis says, how close were you coming

648
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: to the dark side to those delicious bacon wrap hot

649
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 1: dogs at the big Game? Well, that happens every time,

650
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: she said, Like, I don't eat the bacon, I eat

651
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: turkey bacon. I eat the pig, the swine, and it

652
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 1: smells amazing. In every time I've gone to a sport

653
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: ingum it in l A. If I get out, if

654
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: I leave the game and there's still people mulling abound

655
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: around the stadium or the whatever venue it is, there's

656
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: these brigades of folks who are selling hot dogs bacon wrap.

657
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: Talk's amazing. There must be like a secret meeting place

658
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: bacon wrap hot dog people all get together and they

659
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 1: dropped them off with their carts and and they're not griddles,

660
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: they're just like rolling carts with aluminum foil on them. Yeah,

661
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: bacon wrap. It's like gold, all right, when you grow

662
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: up with limited a limited budget. So there would be

663
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: times where I would smell bacon and I would think,

664
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: oh my god, we're rich right now, We're rich. And

665
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: she would cook it almost burned where it would snap

666
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: like that, and Ben, my stepdad, would eat almost all

667
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: of it. And I would get so pissed because I

668
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: got a couple of pieces and that was it. And

669
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 1: so one of my things in my mind, I was like,

670
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 1: when I grow up, I gotta be rich because I

671
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: gotta be able to buy bacon. I'm look at you now,

672
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: you're a big radio star. Yeah, so your congratulations. You've

673
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: made it. I have bacon at least twice a year.

674
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: All right, come back, pay attention. It's time from now.

675
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: Call Chris from Falling Waters Rest, Virginia, right below Haggerstown, Maryland. Hey, Gerstown, Maryland,

676
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 1: where the truck convoy has been camping out. Chris says,

677
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: my question this week is have you ever regretted saying

678
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: something on the air? Maybe you made someone but hurt

679
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: by a comment. No, I've never regretted anything I've said.

680
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: I have been stunned by the reactions I've gotten over

681
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: things I've said that I don't believe are controversial. The

682
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: people that took offense the things I said blows me away.

683
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: The angry messages I get from certain people who we'll

684
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: say in the same email, Danny, that's why you're on Overnight.

685
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: Your show sucks, but I'm offended by X, Y and Z.

686
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,760
Speaker 1: So to me, though, you're you're you're doing two separate

687
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 1: things here. You're telling me I'm irrelevant and I don't

688
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 1: listen to your show, but you are so offended by

689
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 1: what I said. Yeah, that's my response to that. What

690
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: about you, Danny? Who is the will one follow up

691
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 1: question for you? Yeah? Who is the most famous person

692
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: to get offended by something you said? Would that be

693
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: Deshaun Uh? Deshaun is on the list. I would say

694
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: the commissioner of Major League Baseball would probably be higher

695
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: up on the list of at that he's on there.

696
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: William Shatner, of course, we had the spats with Shats.

697
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: He's an all time timeless guy. Number of Dodger players

698
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: over the years. I had Ralph Lawlor, who was the

699
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: Clipper broadcaster, and I'm like Mr Clipper fanboy. Ralph got

700
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: so upset with me when I ripped Michael olivera Candy

701
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 1: uh famous bust in Clipper history. And I was doing

702
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: a midday show in l A the Clippers draft of

703
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: this guy, and I knew within five games, Danny, this

704
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: guy was a giant turd. This guy couldn't play. And

705
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 1: you just know, you just know he's had a feeling.

706
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: This guy is terrible, very rarely. Are you wrong? And

707
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: I I laid into that guy, said what are the

708
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: Clippers doing with this guy? And Ralph came up to me.

709
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 1: It was at the great Western Forum before a Clipper

710
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 1: Laker game, and he saw me in the bowels of

711
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: the great Western Forum and he read me the Riot

712
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,800
Speaker 1: Act and he said, you are so wrong. This guy's

713
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: gonna be an all time I've told the story before.

714
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: We had Lee Klein on and Lee was there, he

715
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 1: was a witness to it. And and and Ralph promised

716
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 1: that older Candy was gonna be an NBA All Star

717
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 1: within a couple of years, and if not, he was

718
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: gonna kiss my ass at center court at Staples or not,

719
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: but became Staples. It was that the it was at

720
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: Sports Rainy and Uh, needless to say that never happened,

721
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 1: and Ralph. Ralph would always kid around, Well, maybe it'll

722
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: happen next week. You never know, it might happen next week.

723
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: He's retired now he lives in Florida part of the year,

724
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: lives in Oregon. But he's on the list. There's a

725
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: bunch of other ones. So what about you, Denny. You've

726
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: been on the radio a long time. Anything you say that,

727
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,240
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I wish I could have that back. Well,

728
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: I'm like you, I don't think so. I had a

729
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,839
Speaker 1: run in with rapper mac Chen when I was doing

730
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 1: that FAM radio also boxer Fernando Vargas. Those both turned

731
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: out okay in the end. And then I guess staff members,

732
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 1: like we talked about this on the podcast one time,

733
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 1: how you and I talked about another staff member and

734
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,240
Speaker 1: got in trouble. Yeah, but it's just all in fun.

735
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 1: When you do radio, you know, sometimes you get in

736
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 1: a groove. And I think that's one good thing about

737
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 1: your show is that it's its own little world, and

738
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: you almost forget that you're broadcasting too. You know, almost

739
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 1: five hundred affiliates across the country. You don't think like that,

740
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 1: You're you're just in the moment and you're in your

741
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: little bubble, your little world, and so we're talking to you,

742
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,760
Speaker 1: we're talking to one person. We're not thinking about all

743
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: the people listening. And I think that's how we could

744
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 1: get into trouble sometimes. Yeah, I know, I completely agree

745
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: with you. You're just you're like, oh, we're just doing

746
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: this in fun, even though we're busting balls. That's what

747
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 1: we do. We're men. We bust balls. That's when the

748
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: women on the show do the same thing. The bust balls.

749
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: That's how we operate there. It's fun to listen to.

750
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 1: So to us, we're not doing anything wrong. We're doing

751
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: what people want well. And then you've got people that

752
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: come in from the outside that aren't regulars and they're

753
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: like stop it. You know, they get very upset. Yeah,

754
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: they get complain and all that. I'm like, well, we're

755
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 1: just having a good time. We're just having being so sensitive. Yeah,

756
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 1: it's like the drop that we used to play about

757
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: the the knuckleball pitchers Joe and Phil forget their last name,

758
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: and people would hear that, but all those negroes look

759
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: the same. And I would get angry emails from people

760
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: who meant well and they were convinced that I had said, uh,

761
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: something I didn't say, because it sounded kind of like that.

762
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 1: And people, as we know Danny from being in the

763
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: business a long time, even the most engaged listener is

764
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: only hearing about of what we're saying and and the

765
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: rest of it's just kind of going away and and

766
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: all that. And so people listen with half in the

767
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 1: year and they think they hear or something, and then

768
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: I get the nasty email. So he didn't stop playing

769
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: that because people were calling up complaining because they were

770
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: convinced that I had said the thing that I didn't say.

771
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: God bless unfiltered podcasting because I could play it on

772
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: this show and get no blowback. I don't know about that.

773
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:20,879
Speaker 1: And all it takes is one person. All it takes

774
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: is one person. But the FCC doesn't regulate podcasting. Oh

775
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 1: that is true. It's like cable television. It's radio's version

776
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: of cable television. I got mail, yea, I got mail, yea.

777
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,479
Speaker 1: Next one's from Adrian in the Mile High City. He's

778
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:38,440

Speaker 1: it has. Adrian. I wonder what happened. I thought you

780
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: were offended or something like that, but it sounds like

781
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: you're not. I'm happy to return to the Sunday Sunday

782

788
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: of the four oh five snotty. I was texting him

789
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: last night. We were texting about something and he's I

790
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: guess he's doing some good play by play jobs. He

791
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: was telling me he's doing some FS one stuff and

792
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: even working some games. He's a freelancer, so we'll do

793
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: some games for ESPN, and he was very braggadosh just

794
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: West of the four oh five. He's talking about travels

795
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna make, going to different parts of the country

796
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 1: to do play by play gigs. So he seems very

797
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 1: happy about that. He's doing well, Adrian continues. In November,

798
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: my wife and I made the trip to Dallas to

799
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: watch the Broncos take on the Cowboys at Jerry's World.

800
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: The stadium is huge, and we were like a couple

801
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: of peacocks strunning out out of there with the w Yett.

802
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 1: I was one of the great surprises of the NFL season,

803
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: the Broncos beating those Cowboys, and that set the Cowboys

804
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: on a sideways stretch of games. He says. The Ben

805
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: Mallard T shirt made the trip to Dallas, and I

806
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: was walking around a T n T stadium repping the

807
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: show before putting my Bronco jersey over it at game time.

808
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: Good job, thank you, thank you, appreciate that. Marketing Guerilla marketing,

809
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: Adrian says, bring Benny versus the Penny back this fall.

810
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: A lot of good advice and good money to be made.

811
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with Benny versus the Penny. I

812
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 1: had to stop doing it because I had the COVID.

813
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,760
Speaker 1: It seems like something always pops up, something life always

814
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: gets in the way of your plans. Danny, It's it's

815
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: always something. The year before, my pops passed away, so

816
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: I had to stopped doing it, and this past year

817
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 1: it was the COVID. Anyway, says Ramad all day, ramadall night.

818
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: Congrats Ben on the Rams Super Bowl Championship in February

819
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 1: and Rama Night and how far can Mr Unlimited take

820
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: the Broncos in the highly competitive a f C West.

821
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: The In and Out Burger and Raising Canes are both

822
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: open for business in the city I live in here

823
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: in Colorado. They are next door neighbors to each other.

824
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: The double double, no onion can nat combo, no slaw

825
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: extra fies are might go tibes. What about the animal

826
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: style fries with the double double? What about that? Have

827
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: you gone that direction? Adrian? Answer that question. I've noticed

828
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:18,439
Speaker 1: that the people that run the Raising Canes franchise they're

829
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 1: very smart, shocking most at least where I am, and

830
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: I've been to Raising Canes in multiple cities around the country.

831
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: It always seems to be the Raising Canes location is

832
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: right next to Chick fil A and In and Out

833
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: like they're those three. It's like the the axis of

834
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: food is uh, the access of great food right there.

835
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 1: And it's really smart to put a chicken joint next

836
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: to Raising cans because you'd say that would be dumb,

837
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,760
Speaker 1: But one day a week you have a competitive advantage

838
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: over Chick fil A if you're raising canes because they're

839
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,920
Speaker 1: not open on something so anyone that's going out. A

840
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: lot of people forget that Chick fil A is not

841
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: open on Sunday, and they go to get their Chick

842
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: fil A on Sunday. They can't get there. They're fixed.

843
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 1: So they wait a minute. There's a raising canes right here.

844
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: Let me give them a try, and boom, you got

845
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: a new customer. Just like that. Good marketing it is.

846
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 1: Adrian also says, lastly, I still say, how about that

847
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 1: when my wife and I get into a friendly argument

848
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: about chores about the house, says I swept the floors

849
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: and took out the trash. How about that if the

850
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: kids are down one, two or all three, yell out

851
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 1: Ben Maller in the house. How about that you got

852
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: the kids trained. My wife gets so annoyed, but I

853
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: think it's the funniest thing. Well, thank you, Adrian, very kind,

854
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Just keep the podcast coming and good to

855
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: have you back on the long email. And I have

856
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 1: big plans to travel. I don't have any time to

857
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: do it, but I'd love to get to Denver and

858
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: meet you Adrian and have the Ben Mallard chicken sandwich.

859
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 1: Of course that's available there. Next up, as we continue

860
00:47:56,400 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: the mails. Carlos in Bang Bang Houston says, I've been

861
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: listening to you since and I remember Coop eating the

862
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 1: scoop of vasoline, probably the best segment on radio ever. Anyways,

863
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:12,879
Speaker 1: when are the Bennies whether this weekend? We've already talked

864
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 1: about in the NFL Book, the NFL Book him, I

865
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 1: keep pushing back. I don't know why we haven't done it.

866
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,840
Speaker 1: It's not like it's been postponed. Nobody's told us we

867
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 1: can't do it, but something always seems to come up,

868
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 1: a big NFL story or something like that, and we

869
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: forget to do it. So I have it on my

870
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 1: list of things to accomplish. Maybe I'll finally get around

871
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:34,280
Speaker 1: to it this week. He says. Also, third Rail Friday

872
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: should definitely be a staple of the show. And what

873
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 1: is the origin story of Jet who Fled And how

874
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,800
Speaker 1: did he get his nickname? Well, Carlos, Jet who Fled

875
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: had a different name when he called the show originally,

876
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: and he was in the octagon and I think it

877
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: was against what's his name, the guy in New York

878
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: that we talk real talk, Yeah, real talk in New York.

879
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: Go to hell, Back up, back up, Get Jack Up.

880
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 1: Jack up really got himself man from the show, and

881
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,879
Speaker 1: so we had promoted that octagon. It was a big

882
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: deal on the show. And then Jed just he fled.

883
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: He didn't show up. We couldn't get a hold of him.

884
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 1: We were, well, what happened, and so his new nickname,

885
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: we changed his nickname to mock him Jed who Fled,

886
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: and that's been his nickname ever since. Hasn't changed. That's

887
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: the deal on that and Ozzy momentum. Right, so we

888
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 1: got time for uh. The clock is uh, the clock

889
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,280
Speaker 1: is not our friend. The clock is not our friend. Unforce.

890
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 1: We we'll do. Uh'll do at least one more. All right,

891
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: come back, it's time from now call Ozzy. Bomenhow says.

892
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 1: So the other day I was watching one of those

893
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 1: Russian slapping competitions. If you haven't seen them, check out

894
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:47,399
Speaker 1: the link. He sent a link. Yeah, I've seen those.

895
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 1: Those are a while anyway. My question is what is

896
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: the craziest type of competition to evant that you'd be

897
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 1: prepared to enter into, I e. A slapping, slapping competition,

898
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 1: running with the bulls, cheese wheel, et cetera. I would

899
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 1: love to be in a eating contest, competitive eating. I'm

900
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 1: fascinated by the art of competitive eating. I've interviewed a

901
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: few of those guys. In fact, Danny Market down right now.

902
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 1: I want to get Joey Chestnut on this podcast when

903
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 1: we get closer to July, I want to get him on.

904
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: I had the guy last year, the promoter of the

905
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:23,400
Speaker 1: Coney Island staple, and he was great. But eating contests,

906
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 1: I don't really run that much, so I probably would

907
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 1: be bull food. I'd get gorged by a bull. I

908
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: just run off the side and hide. What about you

909
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 1: did anything jumping out of a plane, anything weird you
