1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Ka boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: a week was enough, I think again. He's the last

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: remnants of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness.

4
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: of Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth

7
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere,

8
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: back at it on a Sunday Football Sunday. You smell that.

9
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: That is National Football League action in the air everywhere

10
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: as well. We do this podcast because four hours a

11
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: night are not enough, eight days a week from a

12
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: very secret podcast studio deep in the north Woods. And

13
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: we thank you for being parts, supporting and downloading the podcast.

14
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Love that love that this a

15
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: mail bag podcast. And we are joined again from West

16
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: of the four oh five. David Gascon is like here,

17
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: hide ball, I'm feeling good. Three weeks into the NFL

18
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: regular season. Is this new week is upon us? Obviously

19
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: Thursday night football with a dreadful game, But hopefully we

20
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: don't get too many like that the rest of the way. Well,

21
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: there'll be plenty more like that. It's they they have

22
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,279
Speaker 1: to put every team in prime time, so that means

23
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: all the crappy teams play at some point on Monday

24
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: night or Thursday night. They usually put them on those

25
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: nights because they never play on Sunday night because that's

26
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: the primo television window, and so the crappy teams they

27
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: patronize by putting them on prime prime time TV. Every

28
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: team has to be on prime time either Sunday or

29
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: Monday or Sunday, Sunday, Monday or Thursday at one point

30
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: or another. So anyway, it's just the mailbag podcast, guess scout.

31
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: I just want to point out before we start. I

32
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: like the crowd applause that I get better than Europe.

33
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: Like see that's more authentic, that's more real than than yours,

34
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: which is just ridiculous. It's absolutely ridiculous. The radios for right, No,

35
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: not at all. You have to be authentic, you have

36
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: you have to be authentic, okay, and and I have

37
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: authentic sound effects. I do, clearly, man. I haven't bet

38
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: to talk about a long time. I think I've divorced

39
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: Taco Bell ever since they ditched the double decker. Not

40
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: gonna lie. So you've taken an active protest against Taco Bell,

41
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: but they changed their menu all the time, right, they've rotating.

42
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: Not been to Taco Bell in a long time either,

43
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: but they loved to put new exotic them and Jack

44
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: in the box and KFC don't don't. And I guess

45
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: a lot of these fast food places do because their

46
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: gimicks they bring people lane and all that. But Taco

47
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: Bell is crazy enough. KFC always throws wild stuff out.

48
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: There are different weird things to try to get you

49
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: to go and buy some frad Chicken frad. When's the

50
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: last time you get at KFC. It's been a while,

51
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: It's been a long time. I did go to because

52
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: I call games that you see Irvin and they have

53
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: a Chick fil A right next to campus, and I

54
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: go there after every game. It is that's perfect. I

55
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: mean to chicken sandwiches, one spy must crispy. You must

56
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: not do any games on Sunday. No, don't. Well I do,

57
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: but I don't go there on Sundays obviously because they're closed.

58
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: But there's this notice. Chick fil A has almost every

59
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: Chick fil A I've been to. There's an in and

60
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: out Burger in California, right next to it. That's right.

61
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: That's exactly it Ya, that's exactly. There's like this, there's

62
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: just plaza that's right next to it. It's all connect

63
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: And I've also seen a lot of raising canes pop

64
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: up around Chick fil A and in and out Burger,

65
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: and it's brilliant. If you were starting a restaurant and

66
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: you needed locations, wouldn't you peggy back off the market

67
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: research from in and Out, Um, Chick fil A, these Starbucks, McDonald's,

68
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: these companies spend a fortune on where to put locations

69
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: that will get the most bang for their buck. So

70
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: if you're a similar restaurant, I mean, it's it's a

71
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: great move. You just you know enough to be from

72
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: the academia world to know that you just piggyback what

73
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: they're doing. You're like, all right, I'll get the leftovers

74
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: and the raising canes. One is really smart because there

75
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: are fried chicken shop and they know if they are

76
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: down the street from Chick fil A. There's the people.

77
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: Even though Chick fil has been around for years, there's

78
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: certain people that show up on Sunday thinking they want

79
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: their fried chicken from Chick fil A and they can't

80
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: get it and they want their fried chicken and they said,

81
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: wait a minute, oh there's a raising keynes. Let me

82
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: give that a try, And then they fall in love

83
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: with raising canes and you've got a customer. It's a

84
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: brilliant marketing strategy. Yeah, there's two. So there's one in Coasta,

85
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: Mesa that's about five miles away from u C Irvine.

86
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: There's one in Hunton Beach, which is like seven miles

87
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: away from campus. So you're talking about what raising keynes

88
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: or raising canes. Yeah, there's there's a few. There's not

89
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: that many. They're still expanding as they get their tentacles

90
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: all over the country. But you know what that reminds me.

91
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: Have you been to North Italia? It's a restaurant like

92
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: kind of like, uh, I don't know how describe it.

93
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: It's not like a full blown restaurant, like it's an

94
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: indoor outdoor cafe. Also like a little bit of a

95
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: ball in Irvine anytime, A Yeah, I have I have

96
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: been to that. Actually I just went there the other day. Okay, yeah,

97
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: I went there. They claim to make everything from scratch.

98
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: Is that there? I tell you what. There's one in

99
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: Manhattan Beach that I've gone to. But I went to

100
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: the one in Irvan for the first time last weekend

101
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: next to campus. Yeah, and um yeah, it's what you'd

102
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: call a target rich environment. Now I feel I feel

103
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: comfortable about relocating to the Irvan area now. But after

104
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: going there, as you do, you like the views you're

105
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: a fan of. Yeah, I mean yesterday we talked about

106
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,279

00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: carry on over to to today. That location is right

00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,800

184
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: like the Arkansas hat. He's gonna force you to go

185
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: down there and watch a game with the razorback community,

186
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: that's for sure. I go down and I watched the

187
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: Arkansas game when they played Texas. It looked like a

188
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: great environment for college football. They were fired up. Remember

189
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: a few years back when Arkansas had some good teams.

190
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: It's been a while. Yeah, nothing wrong with that. Uh well,

191
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: thank you very much, Blake. I appreciate very kind of you.

192
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: Those hats are not cheap, and I do thank you.

193
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: I think everyone over the years that has been a

194
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: hat benefactor and sent that in and I'm the beneficiary

195
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: of that, all right. Next the email comes from Pierre

196
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: in Springfield, mass He says, bend time to fess up.

197
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: What is the real reason behind your brevity on benny

198
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 1: versus the penny? You were like a kid in a

199
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: candy store when you discovered the chat room, and now

200
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: it's more like you've got dinner in the oven and

201
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: you're raising back the kitchen if yours was done. He says,

202
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: I'm guessing that Mr. Four oh five has a reasonable

203
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: answer to this. Alright, guess would you like to answer

204
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: that question. Yeah, the reasonable answers that we've been told

205
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: and advised by numerous people is that individual's attention span

206
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: is short lived, and so when you're creating a product

207
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:36,599
Speaker 1: like this, whether it's live or on demand, short and concise, succinct,

208
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: those are all important things to adhere to as opposed

209
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: to having something that's long and dragged out, because people

210
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: can come and go into these kind of things, and

211
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 1: you know, the digital world that we live in right now,

212
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: obviously all this stuff is online, so people can pick

213
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: and choose what they want to listen to your watch,

214
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: and the longer the videos, the shorter the attention span,

215
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: and the lower downloads. So we want to make sure

216
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: that it's short, clean, and right to the point. Yeah,

217
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: So you can blame consultants people. We we had met

218
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: with several people about putting Benny Versus the Penny on

219
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 1: different platforms and they were interested, and then they they

220
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 1: said we were too long winded and that I was

221
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: one of the criticisms there, that the meandering nature of

222
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: the Benny Versus the Benny. So we have decided to

223
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: use economy of language, as you use the word brevity.

224
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: Alf the alien opine or a k a. Pierre Springfield, brevity.

225
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: It's a good words. A good word. Uh yeah, there's

226
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 1: Is there one word for the opposite of that? Like

227
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: long winded is two words, so that's not one word. Tiresome,

228
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 1: tedious Maybe tedious would be the Is that the word?

229
00:13:54,640 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: Can you stay elongated? Yeah? I could say elongated. Um. Rambling, Yeah,

230
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: rambling works. Rambling. Okay, we've just said it on rambling,

231
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: so brevity or rambling as we shout from the bully pulpit,

232
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: as we ramble from the black Yeah. But Pierre, I listen.

233
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: You know, you know me, Peter, You've been listening to

234
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: a long time, and you know that I do love

235
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: the chat. I could go I could do that for

236
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: three hours. I could just sit there and go back

237
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: and forth with the dumb dumbs in the chat. I'm

238
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: a big fan. We we do have little chat breaks,

239
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: much like the Arizona Cardinals have cell phone brakes during

240
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: bandy versus the Penny. Randomly, after every two or three games,

241
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: I will I will gaze the chat and I will

242
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: evangelize on some of the things I see in there.

243
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: But I love it, and I've noticed a lot of

244
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: the guys are just talking to each other in the

245
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: chat and they're having a good time there. So I'm

246
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: not I don't want to discourage you from being in

247
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: the chat, and I do look at it. But we

248
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: have to we have to be concise, is what we

249
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: have to be, all right. Harlos in Houston, Texas, Bang

250
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: Bang says, what are the chances that Ilo gets up? Benny?

251
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: This great question. Carlos did a terrible question. Zero should

252
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: not even be on the radar for a Benny. No, No,

253
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: he stepped in, didn't complain one time about the overnight hours,

254
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: didn't complain about that, didn't try it out bogart the show.

255
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: Like the people that have filled in on that show

256
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: when Eddie's away, they either try to hijack the show

257
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: and think it's the It's Chuckles Comedy Club and they're

258
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: at the open mic and it's all it's all about them.

259
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: They hijacked the show, or they just sit there and

260
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: fish and complains it whoe is me, it's overnight, I

261
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: can't work their shift, blabah. The way he didn't complain

262
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: one time he had comedy, he was prepared, changed it up.

263
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: Uh And and Ilo was a pretty serious guy, and

264
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: I put him in the hard old category. But he

265
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: was he was kidding around, he was having fun with us.

266
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: So that shows you that he is able to be versatile.

267
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe he has sex before he came on the show. Wow,

268
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: it's always a possibility. Very nice, very nice. Uh, Carlos

269
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: all said, So he's a hard oh like you. Even

270
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: he's uptight. He's like that. He realized when in Rome

271
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: act like a Roman went on the Mallard Show. Don't

272
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: act like a hard oh, Carlos says, how do you?

273
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: He also says, how do you come up with your

274
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: openings before your monologue? I'm not sure what you mean.

275
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: Maybe the very top of the each hour. Uh. So

276
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: of those have been sent in by listeners that have

277
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: some I came up with some of the well that

278
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: started actually with that vagrant in Miami who used to

279
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: say magic radio box and then so then I, initially

280
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: as a tribute, I used it. Now it's to pour

281
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: salt on his wound because he he was panhandling and

282
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: got fired from the show. But yeah, if you want

283
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: to recommend something, Carlos, you can send that in and

284
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: I might I may use it. Vahed Rights in from

285
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints Country where every year they get hit

286
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: by a hurricane, seems. He says, I know that you

287
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: had questions to choose between Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Angelina

288
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: Jolie in the past, But here's the question for both

289
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: of you, Ben and David. What about Julia Roberts and

290
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: Angelina Jolie. Which one would you pick? All right? So,

291
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: I after doing some research here, looking at some some photogos,

292
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: I think we're both going prime Prime, Angelina Jolie Prime,

293
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: Julia Roberts. I'm going to Angelina Julie. I'm going to

294
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: Angelina Julie. I guess. So if we're only going prime,

295
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: then I will I will concur or I will go

296
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: with you and Angela and Jolie. If we're going longevity, though,

297
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: I'm going Julia Roberts. Yeah, Angelina Jolie has had some

298
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: wear and tear. Life has been tough on her, and

299
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: I mean, she's not disgusting anything like that, but you know,

300
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: I lost a lot for fact. Yeah, she's got a

301
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: lot of over overhead too, with all these kids. Julia

302
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,959
Speaker 1: Roberts not so much, not really, because she can afford them.

303
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: It's only overhead if you can't afford him. Yeah, but

304
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 1: they're getting the way. They're get in the way of me. No,

305
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: I don't she has like seven thousand. I'm I'm assuming.

306
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, But as I understand it, she has

307
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: a million nannies and people to watch the kids, and

308
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: she's she's Most of these celebrities are around the kids

309
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 1: when it's convenient and when it's not convenient, and other

310
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: people raise the kids. That's usually how that works. Isn't

311
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 1: it wrong? Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. That's why

312
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: I always understand it. Um Kevin in Kansas says, Hey, Ben,

313
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: I like your references to Rod Sterling and The Twilight Zone.

314
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: I use episodes in my classroom Kevin's teacher. Of course,

315
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: he says, did you or David have teachers who used

316
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: that series or some like it when you were in school? Now, Kevin,

317
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: I don't remember a teacher ever showing The Twilight Zone

318
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: when I was in school. But when I was a kid,

319
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: it was on reruns a lot. There wasn't a lot

320
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: of quality programming, and occasionally in the afternoons coming back

321
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: from school, and I would be looking for something to

322
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: watch and I'd stumble into it my My father and

323
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: mother actually liked the show, so they had become fans

324
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: of the show, and so then I kinda and I

325
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: kind of got into it a little bit. There were

326
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: a few episodes, and the one I remember most when

327
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: I was a kid was there's these I forget what

328
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: the name of the episode. There. There were a couple

329
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: that stood out, but there was the one where the

330
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: kids were swimming in the pond and there was like

331
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: a a portal in the pond that went took them

332
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: to another dimension. Yeah, and that was pretty cool. I

333
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: remember that because every time I'd go swimming in the

334
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: pool after that for a few years, I thought, I'm

335
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: gonna try to find the portal and I want to

336
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: go to a different dimension, and you know, traveling through

337
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: another dimension, a dimension, you know, blah blah blah blah blah.

338
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: There's that. And then there was the one where the

339
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: town was deserted. Did you ever watch the Twilight Zone

340
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: guest on or not? Very very little? Okay, there was

341
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: the one where he was like the only person in

342
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: the town. I remember that, And then there were a

343
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: couple of other episodes. But yeah, and I had teachers.

344
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: I remember they showed documentaries when I was a kid,

345
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: like on different things to teach us about different things

346
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, and that that was that

347
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: was always cool because it felt like half a day

348
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: because you just had to watch watch the TV. And

349
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: that was always neat. That's a good way to teach

350
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: it is good job by you. Kevin Jason in Rocky Mount, Virginia,

351
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: rights In says in I know you're busy with the

352
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: remodel of the Mallard Mansion, So do you feel like

353
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: it will be totally ready for an epic ugly sweater

354
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: party in December? I don't think. I don't think you

355
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: could have an ugly sweater party at this place. I

356
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: think it would do a disservice to it. Really, you

357
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: think we should have no party? No? I think I

358
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: think that I think you should encourage the wife to

359
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: partake in a masquerade party, a masquerade ball. Yeah, I

360
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: mean you guys wanted the chandelier. I think this kind

361
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: of fits right into it. Yeah, but we're known for

362
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: the ugly sweater party. If you change it up, then

363
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: what do you mean? This is that's our thing, the

364
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: ugly sweater party? Yeah, but that was that the old

365
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: mansion now you've upgraded, and so now you're gonna upgrade

366
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: the party team. We're also even further away, so I

367
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: don't know how many people are going to show up

368
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: because it's I don't even care if I'm the only

369
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: one there. I will owever, you'll be there with bells

370
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: and whistles on absolutely listen addressing zip code much change,

371
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: but you'll be on the prow You will be on

372
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: the prowl Yes, uh, hear you, hear you? Uh To

373
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: answer a question, Jason, I don't think it will be done.

374
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: I don't think it will ever be done. My wife

375
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: thinks it will be done by Halloween, which is gonna

376
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: be here before, you know, a little over a month away,

377
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: so she thinks it will all be done by Halloween.

378
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: I am not as optimistic, not nearly as optimistic, because

379
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: I'm here all the time. I'm doing the show from here.

380
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: I have my studio I hang out in. That's pretty

381
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: much the only room I hang out in the house

382
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: other than when I go to bed. And it seems

383
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: like nothing's getting done. Like most of the days the

384
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: contractors are doing other stuff, they're not on the house,

385
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: so it's hard to finish. If you don't actually work

386
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: on the house. So then but we'll see. Maybe I'm

387
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: wrong on that. I hope I am. I hope they

388
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: get it done quick. Eric in Omaha rites Sin says,

389
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: what is the best streaming service for documentaries? Well, Eric,

390
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: he there is no one streaming service for documentaries. The

391
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: way the streaming services work, you have to rotate. You

392
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: have to be able to adapt to what's what's they

393
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: change it? I mean Netflix every month they have different things,

394
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime. I'll tell you a sneaky good place to

395
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: find documentaries YouTube for free on the YouTube. You don't

396
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: have to pay for YouTube. There is a pay platform

397
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: on YouTube, but you can get a bunch of documentaries

398
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: on there that are buried because there's so many videos

399
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: on YouTube. Let me let me give you a website.

400
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: Hold on a sec. You see, I can find the

401
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 1: website to go through my my list of bookmarks here,

402
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: because there there is a website that lists Yeah, I

403
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: think this is it. Maybe not. I'm gonna click un

404
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: right here. Yeah, it's called top Documentary Films dot com.

405
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: Top Documentary Films dot com. And this has doesn't have

406
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: new documentaries per se. Usually within you know, five six, seven,

407
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 1: eight nine, ten years old within the last decade. There

408
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: are some older ones on there, but it provides you

409
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: descriptions and links to the documentaries, and it goes by category.

410
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: They have a list of featured documentaries, but they have

411
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: different categories like I like my favorite h my favorite

412
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: documentary usually biography. I like to learn about people, or

413
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 1: at least the bullshit version of people's lives. But they

414
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 1: have different categories. You can you can go on there

415
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: and check out their sports. Uh, there's science, religion, politics, philosophy,

416
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: performing arts, mystery like They've got all those different categories.

417
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: So whatever you know, whatever tickles your your fancy, you

418
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 1: can find it. And I don't. I don't work for

419
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 1: the website. I have nothing to do with the website.

420
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: I found the website a few years ago. I do

421
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: check it out. Um. And then there's there's obviously just

422
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: scanning what's coming out on Netflix and Amazon Prime and

423
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 1: and and all those Apple and all the different services.

424
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: But Top Documentary Films dot com that is the recommendation,

425
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: and a lot of those links, I think pretty much

426
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: all of them are on YouTube. So I'll give you

427
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: an example here. Uh, let's see any of things put

428
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: up the website here at the top. As I'm doing this,

429
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: they list the top documentary featured is called Consumed. It's

430
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: from and it's the Possible. It's as possible, the most

431
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: possibly the most unthinkable story of the last million years

432
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 1: is the rise of the modern human culture, the cities

433
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: we populated in the lives that we need. It is

434
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: the environment that our children won't inherit. And then it

435
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: goes on and on and on. But that's from twenty seven.

436
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: So you click on that it asked you from, So

437
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: you click on that, and then an addle pop up,

438
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: because of course why not, And then it has a

439
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: link and this one is actually it is on YouTube,

440
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: so it is a YouTube link. But it's hard to

441
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: find these things on YouTube without knowing where to look. Um.

442
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: So that's that's the website for you. Eric and Omaha

443
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: Pat in Winter Park, Florida says, I watched a little

444
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 1: of the Peyton and Eli show, and this past week

445
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: Eli and Gronk are buffoons. What is the cancelation date?

446
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: Uh No, ESPN loves Peyton Manning. That is the network

447
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: of ball washing athletes lick lick, scrub scrub, so that

448
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: that show is not going anywhere and the reason the

449
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: ratings went up last week is because the game was

450
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: a blot. If you actually want to watch the game

451
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: and pay attention to the game, you cannot watch Peyton

452
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 1: and Eli talk. They're doing a talk show and the

453
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 1: game is just backgrounds. It's unwatchable if you're actually concerned

454
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: about the game. Now they benefited in the second half.

455
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: The Lions fell apart compliments of Jared Goff, and the

456
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: people tuned over because hey, the game was a blowout

457
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: and you don't want to watch the game, so listen

458
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: to the bullcrap from Peyton and Eli. I'm just fascinating

459
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 1: these guys can't do it on their own, that they're

460
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: not talented enough. Peyton and elis you just do it

461
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: without having a revolving door of guests, which are a

462
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: crutch to fill the time. It's fascinated to me. I

463
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: thought Peyton was such a great talker and Eli that

464
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: they would be fine without needing all of these crutches.

465
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: But someone can Someone can make the same comment about

466
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: the Ben Mallor Show. With all the callers that come

467
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 1: on every single night, Really, how many guests go through

468
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: the go through the list of the guests m hmmm.

469
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: See if weed Man you have marked the full name

470
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: Guy you have um uh Pete and Pittsburgh you have

471
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 1: been Carlos. What do they all have in common? They

472
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: don't call the show anymore. You're you're big dummy. That's wrong.

473
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: I'm never await during that time anyway, I understand. And

474
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: some hours we don't take any calls. Some hours we

475
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 1: just you know, march On, don't take any calls. But

476
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: we have no guests. I've I've not had a guest

477
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: on that show since Fred Dryer came on, and now

478
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: he's a friend of the show. But it is embarrassing

479
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: for Peyton Eli. They're so unentertaining without having you know,

480
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 1: Gronk or Ray Lewis or Brett far Van, it's pretty embarrassing.

481
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: R J in San Antonio says, what baseball stadium would

482
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: you want to go visit that you haven't been to yet?

483
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: For I been asked this question, Well, what's old is

484
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: new again? I've been to most of the the old.

485
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: I've been to Finway, I've been to Wrigley Field, the

486
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh I didn't go to a game there. I walked

487
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: through the stadium. The Pirates were not playing when I

488
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: was in Pittsburgh. In San Francisco, San Diego, Arizona, I've

489
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: been to most. I haven't been to coors Field. I've

490
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: missed coors Field in Denver to check that out. Have

491
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: the Ben Mallard Food Tour in Denver, you know, I

492
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: mean I don't. There's nothing that really pops that I

493
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: have to see. Most of these stadiums are relatively new,

494
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: so I don't need to go see. I'm in Philadelphia.

495
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: I've been to the link That Complex in Philly and

496
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: the Phillies Ballpark right next door. Uh. Nothing that I'm

497
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: jones and to get to. I'd like to go to

498
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: all of all parks, but it's not realistic. I don't

499
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: have the time nor the money. Fred in Spring Texas says,

500
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: what's your go to home cooked meal. I'd love to

501
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: cook anything, Fred, But yeah, pizza's a staple, usually Tuesday's

502
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: or Pizza Day, the Mallard pizza, the garlic onion, bell

503
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: pepper pizza, the mallard pie that keeps vampires away. I

504
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: am excited. We will cook, you know, on the weekends. Uh,

505
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: I'll cook all kinds of stuff, Mexican food, fajita's tacos,

506
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: Philly cheese steak. You know, died of a of a

507
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: ten year old, But I love it all. Pasta, a

508
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: lot of pasta, chicken palm, make a mean chicken palm

509
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: at the Mallard Mansion, and pretty much anything one. I'm

510
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: looking forward to making monkey bread, that cinnamon monkey bread

511
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: I've made that in a long time, have made anything

512
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: a long time. So pretty much all of the above

513
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: fred And it's unlike gascn It's not covered in broccoli

514
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: and all that bullshit that so I don't cover any

515
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: of my food into that. I do. I do like

516
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: to go to the well for breakfasts with eggs and

517
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: sweet potatoes. It's kind of a regular one. I need it.

518
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: And that doesn't have to be in the morning time.

519
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: It could be the middle of the day in the afternoon,

520
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: so you still get hornswaggled into the whole breakfast thing

521
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: that marketing campaign. No, I just I just like breakfast.

522
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: I mean I don't eat breakfast per se, but I

523
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: do eat the type of food that you'd get for breakfast.

524
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: Like I could eat French toast for lunch or dinner,

525
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: that's for sure. I could eat waffles for dinner. Um,

526
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: how many go to I know we talked about this

527
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, but how many how many

528
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: marketing phrases have turned into culture of human beings like

529
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: the way human beings are. Why it's fascinating to me

530
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: every time I see people I gotta eat breakfast, people

531
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: that have to eat breakfast, and I'm like, wow, all

532
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: because of the Kellogg brand. It's wild they came up

533
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: with that marketing. So look at breakfast is the most

534
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: important meal of the day to try to promote the

535
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: sales of breakfast cereal because people weren't eating breakfast, you know,

536
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: they were eating leftovers for breakfast, or sometimes they wouldn't

537
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: even eat breakfast because they just didn't care. And all

538
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: because of that marketing slogan, generation after generation, we have

539
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: to eat breakfast, you know, even if it's Tony the

540
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: Tiger or Captain Crunch or don't you know you can

541
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: bring in the you know, Snaggle Puss Cereal or whoever,

542
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, Klondike, Pete, bring him on, come on,

543
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: the choice of a new generation. Yeah, just do it, Nike.

544
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: So al right, what is next year? Boston fan Paul

545
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: writes in on the mail bag, He says, why is

546
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: it a field goal is measured where it is kicked,

547
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: but a punt is measured from the line of scrimmage.

548
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: That's a great point, Paul, I haven't thought of. I've

549
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: not thought of and I don't have the answer to that.

550
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, usually punt about seven eight yards behind the

551
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. Typically you kick a field goal seven

552
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: yards behind the line of scrimmage, they attack on seven

553
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: teen yards to the the field goal. Why don't they?

554
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: Here's what they should do for field goals. Remember the

555
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: old days of football, they had the goal post right

556
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: at the goal line. With technology, couldn't you have the

557
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: goal post move during the game. Wouldn't it be rather

558
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: simple to spend the money? And so when it's a

559
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: kicking situation, you have the goal post at the goal line,

560
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: and then when it is not a kicking situation, you

561
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: have the goal post back behind where it is right now. Yeah,

562
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: post though I don't think you would. They have stadiums

563
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: that open up the dome, stadiums that you know will

564
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: open up in just a couple of minutes. There's any

565
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: problem with that. It's great patting myself, I'm patting myself

566
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: on the back here. Why not? How come nobody else

567
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: has thought about I'm an answer this guy, Tony and

568
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: Milwaukee says, since your brother lives in Appleton, in the

569
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: Appleton area, and there's a big minor league baseball team here,

570
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: why haven't you shown up? Why haven't you come to

571
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: town brought the show? Well, Tony in Milwaukee, would you

572
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: drive up, Tony, up to Appleton. If I come to

573
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: the Holy Land of Wisconsin and and be part, I'd

574
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: like to do it. I'm gonna get to Appleton, I

575
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: keep saying that. And now football seasons started, so I'm

576
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: not going anywhere during football season. But that is the goal.

577
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,919
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you this, Tony, how about this reach

578
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: out to the minor league team if you want to

579
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: do some legwork for me, do some groundwork, see if

580
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: they're interested. And if they're interested, well that'll mean that

581
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: I'll have to go during baseball season. And I we

582
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: can have like a Mallard Knight at the ballpark. That

583
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 1: would be great. We can invite listeners down, have a

584
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: fine time. Do the thing that we did out here

585
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: in California where threw out the for Is pitch. And

586
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 1: that goes also hacking. I know in Minnesota. I gotta

587
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: get over to you right next to Wisconsin there in

588
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: Minnesota and go to the Twin Cities. Are these St.

589
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: Paul Saints affiliated with anybody? Are they still an independent operation?

590
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: That minor league team in St. Paul. I don't know.

591
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: That's a good question. I think they're still independent. Have

592
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: to check it out. But Tony loved there that says

593
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: they're an affiliate of the Minnesota Twins. Okay, so they're

594
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: no longer independent. Balls fan Jimmy from Fayetteville, Tennessee, says,

595
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: for both of you, what was the most trouble you

596
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: got into in school and that you got in trouble

597
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: with at home? Uh, well, that's I was a terrible

598
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,879
Speaker 1: I was terrible about going I hated going to school.

599
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: I was not a morning person. I didn't like going up.

600
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: My biggest problem in fact, I Uh, I ended up

601
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: bouncing around schools a bit because I just could not

602
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: wake up. I stayed up late even as a kid.

603
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: It's helped me as an adult in radio. But when

604
00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: I was a kid, I just couldn't get up. I

605
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: wasn't a morning person and I missed a lot of school.

606
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: So that caused me problems, and that cost me problems

607
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: at home because my mom was frustrated and all that

608
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: stuff that I skipped so much school, But it wasn't

609
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: like I was skipping school to do you know, lines

610
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: of coke. I was skipping school because I couldn't get up.

611
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: And then when it felt weird showing up to school

612
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: after you missed the first two hours of school, you

613
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: feel like you can't show up after that. And so

614
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: I just watched reruns of Twilight Zone, prices right with

615
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: Bob Barker. I remember Monty Hall, Let's make a Deal,

616
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: all the TV game shows of the day and all

617
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: that stuff. So what about you, guesscot Man. On my

618
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 1: uh my senior year of high school, we had a

619
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: with a welcome freshman dance. And before that dance, like

620
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: a bunch of us guys and girls went to a

621
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: friend's house for like a little pre party, and um,

622
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: one of the girls got insane and talks caated, and

623
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: so at the said dance, she um, she got loose

624
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden she started throwing up.

625
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 1: So we all left a dance early. Obviously, they like

626
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 1: get away from the scene of the crime and like

627
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: three weeks later, after they were finished investigating and someone

628
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 1: basically ratted us out. We got me and like two

629
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: other guys, we got suspended and uh we got suspend

630
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 1: it from school for a week. And to top it off,

631
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: like my name was in the like my name was

632
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: in the local paper because I was the star football player.

633
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 1: And yeah, basically that aired out for for not being available.

634
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 1: So it was not good. And uh, you never find

635
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: out did you find out who the tattle tale was? Yeah?

636
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: Yeah I knew who it was. So um one of

637
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: the one of the girls crumbled under pressure she thought

638
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: would get caught one way or another. So and I

639
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 1: was the first person because obviously I had a lot

640
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 1: of steak and I told everyone like, deny everything, Like,

641
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 1: deny that you were there, deny anything. They can't prove

642
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: it unless they have someone that says that they were there.

643
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: So they were good for three weeks and then someone

644
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: broke and then we all got broken off. So it sucked.

645
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,439
Speaker 1: It is the same theory I have that most games

646
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 1: are lost, they're not one. Most crimes are solved because

647
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: people admit to the crimes right or they they are

648
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: sloppy about the crime. And all that stuff. Yeah, I

649
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 1: was good. I I covered everything up. I was I

650
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: was efficient because you didn't cover everything up because some

651
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 1: motor mouth, some loose tongue girl there went yak at

652
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: the yak. I thought it was good until three weeks

653
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: later she crumbled, So yeah, it was not good. They

654
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 1: say that the perfect crime is a crime that is

655
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: done by one person that doesn't tell anyone else about

656
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: the crime. Right, that would be the perfect crime. But

657
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: it's impossible to have the perfect crime these days because

658
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: there's cameras everywhere and DNA technology. You cannot have the

659
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: perfect crime. There is no such thing. It does not exist. Yeah,

660
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 1: Bob the Bears fan, right, since as you and David

661
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: should switch it up and talk about some crazy, outlandish

662
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: ship and call it the third rail on my end podcast,

663
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: that's what Bob wants. We almost had that, Bob, a

664
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, but we had an issue that

665
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: that podcast did not air. But we we almost went

666
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: there a couple of weeks, right, we did. There's enough

667
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: content out there for people to consume. I'm still astonished

668
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 1: that we have numbers like we do now because there's

669
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 1: just so many things out there. In the podcasting role,

670
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: for people to uh to spend their time on. Yeah,

671
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 1: let's see old Yogi Bearer quote. I'm gonna butcher the

672
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 1: Yogi bearra quote. But it's something along the line. There's

673
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: there's so many podcasts. Nobody listens to any of them.

674
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: You know it's there, right, It's like, you know, the

675
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: restaurant is so busy, nobody goes there anymore. Yeah, there

676
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: are endless amounts of podcast but we do pretty well

677
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: in the podcast game. We're in the top percentile of podcasts,

678
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 1: and we thank you for that. Brandon in Michigan says,

679
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: when you drink, or if you drink, are you right

680
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: out of the bottle or the can? Or do you

681
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: pour it into a glass? Are you that type of

682
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: drink or not? I'm right out of the bottle. I

683
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: don't need to pour into a glass. No, no, no,

684
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: and no and no. That's that's busy body work. I

685
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: don't need a glass. I just have I have a

686
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: beer bottle. I'm gonna drink it out of the beer bottle.

687
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 1: What do I want to put it in the glass for?

688
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: Then you gotta wash the glass. No, I don't need that.

689
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: I don't even like when I go to a restaurant.

690
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: If I have a drink and they put it into

691
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: the glass, I don't need that. Yeah, leave it there

692
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: with you. Although I've ditched, I've ditched drinking out of

693
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: cans nowadays, I've I've ditched the consumption of anything in

694
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: a can. For what happened a littminum? Okay, got all right,

00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: want to go to that area Rhode Island Way. Yeah

760
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: you can, that's easy. You go to you can do

761
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 1: the NT corridor right, go through then do that whole thing.

762
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, so so, Joe, There's a bunch of places

763
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: that I would love to check out that I have

764
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:56,399
Speaker 1: not checked out. The Shenandoah National Park, right, that's that's

765
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: outside d C in Virginia. That's supposed to be one

766
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: her full there's and then there's others in that region Maryland, Virginia,

767
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: that area. Uh what else? A cliff from Nashville says, Ben,

768
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: have you or Gascon ever seen a baby pigeon escon. No, No,

769
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 1: I have not either. Alan and Akron says, now that

770
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: you live deep in the north woods, are you at

771
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:24,879
Speaker 1: risk from forest fires that seem to ravage California every year. Well,

772
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: living in California, you're never that far away from a wildfire.

773
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: It is the most left up situation. The the hippies.

774
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: I love trees, my favorite place. I was very concerned

775
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:42,720
Speaker 1: because the giant forest almost burned up It's Sequoia National

776
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: Park this week and they were able to dodge that.

777
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 1: But it's because the the environmentalist in California will not

778
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 1: allow the controlled burns, and so the trees grow two

779
00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: points that they cannot be controlled. It is a ship

780
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:07,280
Speaker 1: show and there's no end in sight. It's wild forest management.

781
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: And then they blame global warming as to why there

782
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: are so many wildfires. The wildfires are a direct result

783
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: of not managing the forest properly. If you manage the

784
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: forest properly, you're not gonna have as many wildfires. I

785
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: know I'm going off on a tangent here, Gascon, but

786
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: it's every time during the year I watch I watched

787
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: the fires and it's not even part of your It's

788
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: a year round there's fires in California, and I just

789
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 1: shake my head. I'm like, really, I mean, you know

790
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: why why you don't have to do it like that.

791
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 1: You can manage the force to have controlled burns. There

792
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 1: are ways to do it to limit the damage, but

793
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: they don't do that. It's annoying. It's a third rail

794
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 1: on man. I'm just pointing that out. My wrong gascon

795
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: am I wrong. No, if you're not wrong. But it's

796
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 1: the same thing with up and down the state too.

797
00:46:56,280 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: So I mean it's evident clearly, especially up near uh

798
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 1: Napa Valley and Sonoma and those parts of California that

799
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 1: you know, most people feel at the most, you know,

800
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: the hardest because of all the investments and the wineries

801
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 1: and the exotic cottages, the golf courses and all that stuff.

802
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean people say that stuff from afar

803
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you're knee deep in it.

804
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 1: You're like, wait a minute, they're not taking care of

805
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: the of the state first of all, before it gets

806
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 1: to where it is. Yeah, I spent some time my

807
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: my brother got married, my younger brother got married in

808
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 1: Grass Valley, uh, you know, in between Sacramento and San

809
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: Francisco out there and in the in the sticks, and

810
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's just forest land as far as you

811
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 1: can see, and it burns up every every couple of years. Alan.

812
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 1: That was Alan in Akron, Dave and Mill Valley, California.

813
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:53,800
Speaker 1: Speaking of trees, he says, what is your favorite drop? Also,

814
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: could you please not sing over Kathleen's classic Hey Mona?

815
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:02,919
Speaker 1: The delicate nuances are lost when you do that. All right, Sorry, Dave,

816
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 1: I'll try not to do that. I have to add on.

817
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: I like to add on to these things. What is

818
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: my favorite drop? Well, that is a revolving, revolving situation.

819
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: I'll tell you one that doesn't get played that much

820
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: because it's an Eddie drop. When he was doing the

821
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: update and he was giving the hockey scores and he said,

822
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: the Canadians beat the Canadians to meet that that is

823
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: simple and hilarious. I laugh every time. It reminds me

824
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,839
Speaker 1: of an old Saturday Night Live skit. He's not wrong

825
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 1: because it's Canadian players playing Canadian players. It was just

826
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 1: the way that he he delivered that line was also

827
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: Eddie when he when he butchered the Fab five and

828
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: that was that was outstanding too, but there's a much

829
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 1: I like the old Genie Medford Genie from Medford drops.

830
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,320
Speaker 1: Those don't get played a lot because Roberto wasn't around

831
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 1: when Genie was on the show. Um, Doc, Mike's got

832
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: a bunch of good ones. I mean there's there's a lot.

833
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 1: So we we we are, we are very rich in drops.

834
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 1: We are. I'm a pilot rights in. He says, Hey, Ben,

835
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,280
Speaker 1: I know you've got plenty of recipes, but from someone

836
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: from Texas, if you want one that works. You're talking

837
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 1: about mosquitoes here, hear me out, and then he gives

838
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:18,840
Speaker 1: me the mosquito recipe he named per methram s f R.

839
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:21,400
Speaker 1: Does that ring a bell with your guests? Gun? No,

840
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: he says, you can buy this stuff. I'm a pilot

841
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: at a tractor supply store. He says. A bottle cost

842
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:33,839
Speaker 1: like twenty dollars. Buy a gallon sprayer it's about twelve bucks.

843
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 1: I looked it up. Is actually more than that here

844
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 1: in California. Put two ounces per gallon and spray it everywhere,

845
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:47,280
Speaker 1: he says, Spray it everywhere on ground, bushes, patio. It's safe,

846
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:52,439
Speaker 1: it's for all bugs. Spray it like once a week.

847
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: He says he sprays it all the time. It really

848
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 1: helps out bugs and mosquitoes. He says, he sprays it

849
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: all over the place. Is the same as those companies

850
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: like Mosquito Joe use and whatnot, So so I guess

851
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,280
Speaker 1: he says, that's the same stuff. Now my only question,

852
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 1: and I don't want Bella to get killed from spraying

853
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:19,240
Speaker 1: pesticide all over the place, so that is my concern.

854
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,400
Speaker 1: But I'm assuming I'm a pilot, you have kids, You

855
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:25,800
Speaker 1: probably have a dog or a cat or something like that,

856
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 1: so this can you right back, I'm a pilot, and

857
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: let me know that this is not going to damage

858
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:35,399
Speaker 1: my dog, because I don't want to. There's the dog,

859
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: and then I'll have a different problem. But I looked

860
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: up this crap and according to the Internet, this is

861
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 1: what they use, what I'm a pilot uses, and what

862
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 1: he claims these mosquito companies use is a medication used

863
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 1: to treat headlights. Tiny insects that fest and you know,

864
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: get on your scalp and all that. So that's kind

865
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 1: of cool. So if if you can put this on

866
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 1: your scalp, I would think it would be okay for

867
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 1: for a dog. But what do I know, I'll have

868
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: to investigate that more, but thank you. I'm a pilot.

869
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 1: That doesn't seem like it's that much. If it's thirty

870
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 1: dollars for a canister of this crap and you only

871
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 1: use two ounces per gallon of water, uh, that does

872
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 1: sound that bad. Sounds pretty good, Ben and gascon and

873
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:33,360
Speaker 1: or co host. When you first meet someone, this is

874
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,800
Speaker 1: from John to Jeller. When you first meet someone and

875
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 1: you don't want to intimidate them because you're a big

876
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 1: time radio personality, what do you tell them that you

877
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: do for a living? John, great question, and my go

878
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 1: to in the past was, I was I worked on

879
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,319
Speaker 1: a blog. I was I was a internet writer because

880
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: I had Ben Mallard dot com. I don't do that anymore.

881
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: So now I say I work in sales, because I

882
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:58,360
Speaker 1: do work in sales. Radio is sales, were audio sales.

883
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: The most important part of DIO is when I do

884
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:04,800
Speaker 1: a commercial for DraftKings or I do a spot for

885
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: you know, any of our sponsors. Gonna go down the

886
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:10,359
Speaker 1: list there. We have Lost Vegas, visit Las Vegas. They're

887
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,800
Speaker 1: a new sponsor. But so I always say sales, and

888
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,439
Speaker 1: I'm in the sales business because Normally people don't ask

889
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: like too many questions. They might ask what you sell,

890
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: and I'll be like, well, I sell I sell fantasy

891
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 1: football or you know, I said, or whatever the product

892
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: I'm selling at the time. So that's it. There you go.

893
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 1: Look at that kists, gun bells and whistles going off.

00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 1: also happens when Ben plays his drops. I'm assuming I'm

911
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 1: not the only person hearing this, but just in case, uh,

912
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 1: you're the only one, Rick, I've not gotten any other complaints,

913
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 1: I guess, Gana, is this an issue that we need

914
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 1: to know about? Here? Is Rick the only one that's

915
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 1: hearing this? Could be the only one, although there are

916
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 1: times when we talk over each other, and I'll just

917
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:49,879
Speaker 1: blame that to your bad hearing, So I will blame

918
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: that on your bad timing. Okay. John in Colorado says,

919
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 1: have you ever crop dusted a grocery store aisle? Or

920
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 1: do you suffer until you're in the parking lot? No? John, No,

921
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 1: no no. What you do is you try to walk

922
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 1: away from a busy part of the grocery store. What

923
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 1: you attempt to do. My move is I will go

924
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 1: to the aisle with the trash bags because there's normally

925
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 1: a lot of not a lot of people on the

926
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 1: aisle with the trash bags. And and then you let

927
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,799
Speaker 1: it rip, You let her rip, You keep walking, never

928
00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 1: look back. Net when you crop dust, you never look back.

929
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:34,880
Speaker 1: You keep walking, and you might even have to walk

930
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 1: down the aisle again to appreciate what you've done to

931
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 1: the store, but I I do not do not go

932
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 1: out to the the parking lot. The one we brought

933
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 1: this up before in the past. The issue that I

934
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: annoys me is the the hotel. When you're in a

935
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:54,839
Speaker 1: hotel room and when you're dating. And you know, I'm

936
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 1: married now, so I don't care. But when I was

937
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:59,359
Speaker 1: dating and if you had to let it rip right,

938
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:02,799
Speaker 1: let U got big gass fart out, I didn't want

939
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 1: to do that, you know, because you don't want to

940
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 1: fart around the other person. So I would I would.

941
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 1: I said, I have to go down to the lobby

942
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:09,719
Speaker 1: to get something, So I would go all the way

943
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: down to the lobby and walk around the casino floor

944
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 1: like in Vegas, and then fart there or use the

945
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:18,440
Speaker 1: bathroom down there. That would be mine booth. But in

946
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: the grocery store, yeah, I don't really, I don't really

947
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:28,320
Speaker 1: mind you. I think the best or my favorite is

948
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:30,920
Speaker 1: when you're either in a bar or a lounge or

949
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:37,440
Speaker 1: a club, because you're protected with the music. Yes, background

950
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:43,719
Speaker 1: noise is essential, yes, and so that's the that's the

951
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 1: best because sometimes you can just let it marinate for

952
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: a hot minute and then bolt. Yeah, but obviously have

953
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 1: you ever had have you ever had this instant a

954
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:58,719
Speaker 1: guesscount in the bathroom where it's appropriate to let her

955
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 1: rip in the bathroom. But if you're in there and

956
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: there's another person in the stall next to you, and

957
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 1: you're the only two people in the bathroom, and you

958
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 1: let her rip, right if they get out a little

959
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 1: bit before you and then you get out, they then

960
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 1: they give you that that evil eye, you know, that

961
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 1: look like. I think you have to treat it like

962
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 1: a horn, right Like if you have if you have

963
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 1: a powerful horn on your car, you can let that

964
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 1: thing go as long as possible. But if you have

965
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:29,400
Speaker 1: a weak horn, you don't want to use it, like,

966
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 1: you want to be very very cautious on how you

967
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 1: deploy it. So I think it's the same thing, right Like,

968
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 1: if you're in a stall like that, If it's if

969
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:41,760
Speaker 1: it's with power enthusiasm, you wear that thing loud and proud.

970
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: But if it's not, if it's like weak and limp,

971
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 1: you want to just you know, kind of tucktail and run. Yeah. Yeah,

972
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 1: I try not to spend too much time. Now. What

973
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 1: I have done in that situation is I've been in

974
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 1: that spot before I have. This is so stupid. I

975
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 1: have prematurely flushed the toilet trying to drown out the

976
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: sound of the fart I have. Yeah, everyone does that.

977
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 1: I thought I thought I was special. I'm not special,

978
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 1: all right, Seattle Sammy writes in he Is It Is It?

979
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 1: He's a sports question, He says, Man, if you were

980
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 1: given the opportunity to consult the Seattle Manners management, what

981
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 1: advice would you give them? As you probably know, the

982
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 1: Mariners have not made the postseasons since they have the

983
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 1: longest postseason drought in North American sports today, Seattle Sammy asked, Yeah, Well,

984
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 1: the biggest problem for teams like the Mariners and the

985
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 1: Minnesota Timberwolves is they have no no gumption to stick

986
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 1: with the plan. There's two problems. They hire the wrong

987
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 1: people and then and then they get as soon as

988
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 1: one thing goes wrong, they immediately get antsy and have

989
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 1: to make a change. So it is a revolving door.

990
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 1: It's a never ending cycle of futility for those those franchises.

991
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 1: It's bad, bad, bad, bad, bad bad bad. But the

992
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 1: answer to Seattle's problem is to hire theo Epstein. You

993
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 1: hire theo Epstein you're gonna win. He's available, he's working

994
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: for Major League Baseball. Not convincing him to take the

995
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 1: Maritage job is a different conversation, right. Last one, Lord

996
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 1: Goofa rites in and he has a story to share

997
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:30,360
Speaker 1: about his own d n A And it came up

998
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: on the show and he used the twenty three and

999
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: Me website to find his biological father and he sent

1000
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 1: the whole story here. I don't know that we have

1001
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 1: time to get to it all right now, but so

1002
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 1: I read it and it's it's quite the story. He

1003
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 1: was born in nineteen eighty back in Ohio to a

1004
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:53,959
Speaker 1: single mother an unknown father, and it wasn't he said,

1005
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: just that he wasn't in the picture. No one knew

1006
00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 1: his name, And so Lord Goofer shares the story, says

1007
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 1: that his mom told him that when you know, she

1008
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 1: was dating this guy who had cheated on her, so

1009
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 1: she decided to get back at him, and she cheated

1010
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 1: on him and that one night stand turned out to

1011
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 1: be Lord Goufa. How about that? That's wild, um, she

1012
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 1: said she allegedly she allegedly got black out drunk, does

1013
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 1: not remember any details surrounding the events of the night

1014
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 1: of my conception. Wow, that's wild, um, he said, Lord goofer.

1015
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 1: There were a couple of suitors that were tested via

1016
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: old school blood testing, a very flawed method of determining

1017
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 1: paternity that can only exclude people, and all were excluded.

1018
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 1: The method likely resulted in tens of thousands of false positives.

1019
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 1: But that's another story anyway. So moving on, So he

1020
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 1: goes through a whole bunch of backstory, you know, the

1021
00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 1: efforts back in the eighties and nineties couldn't find anything.

1022
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Fast forward, he says he was thirty four years old,

1023
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: happily married, two kids, all that great stuff, and he

1024
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 1: talks about submitting about DNA online DNA. He went to

1025
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 1: a couple of sites or his service, rather his service,

1026
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:20,160
Speaker 1: and he says, in layman terms, he says, I need

1027
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 1: not bother with there's a big word here that I

1028
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 1: don't know how to uh to say uh as this

1029
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 1: was passed down by mothers. Anyway, it didn't work. It

1030
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 1: didn't work, and he had grown tired, and I mean,

1031
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 1: there's a long, long story here, guests, gun, but let

1032
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 1: me give you the in the terms of brevity, because

1033
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 1: I know we gotta we gotta wrap this thing up.

1034
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 1: So Eventually he found his way on a group on

1035
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:48,800
Speaker 1: to twenty three and me and his wife, I guess

1036
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 1: found it and asked if he'd be interested and in

1037
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:55,240
Speaker 1: giving d n A another shot. And he was skeptical

1038
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 1: because it hadn't worked in the past and he still

1039
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 1: hadn't seen anything closer on ancestry dot com or anything

1040
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:07,960
Speaker 1: like that. So anyway, uh it it, It happened, It happened.

1041
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 1: Uh they signed up for it, and initially, you know,

1042
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 1: it didn't didn't really work out, and then he had

1043
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 1: the Eureka moment and he tells the story here he

1044
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 1: was able to track down his father because of d

1045
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 1: n A and it's a great story, Lord Goofer, thank

1046
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 1: you for sending you know, I appreciate, wish we had

1047
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:29,360
Speaker 1: more time to to give the whole thing here, but

1048
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 1: it's pretty cool. He says. He was he was driving

1049
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 1: around March of nine in a showered made breakfast, normal

1050
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 1: day with his wife, his kids. Wife took off to

1051
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:46,520
Speaker 1: take the youngest child, uh to two work to school,

1052
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:48,880
Speaker 1: to the high school, and then off to work. And

1053
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 1: he said he was in the car with his oldest

1054
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:57,920
Speaker 1: and message popped up on his phone and that was

1055
01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:02,440
Speaker 1: the message that they had found found his dad. So

1056
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:06,120
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. It has a happy story. Man. Yeah,

1057
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 1: that's great. That's what that must have been tough as

1058
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:11,960
Speaker 1: a kid, right, not knowing anything about your father. I

1059
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 1: know a lot of people go through that, but man,

1060
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:19,440
