You hear him with Covino and Rich 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:57.680 on the Fox Sports Radio Empire and we formed Vultron. 0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:00.120 Here Danny on the weekends, we get together and the 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:07.320 Superpowers collide every single Friday, Saturday and today Sunday Sunday. 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:11.360 Sunday Sunday, which is a fun day. As I am 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:18.360 still recovering from my brush with a ninja. I'm a 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:21.480 samurai unless I'm not. If you miss that, that's on 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:25.360 the Saturday Podcast and Friday, we had Omarvis Scale, a 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:30.399 random old baseball player, and my favorite Omarvis Scale fun 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:35.880 fact Danny, which I had forgotten. He was the last player, 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:40.480 the last one who had in North American sport that 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:45.200 had appeared in games in the nineteen eighties. Last one. 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:47.480 So of all the athletes nineteen eighties, he was the 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.000 last one left, last one standing. 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.120 Well, that explains it because I remember having a plastic 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:57.680 sheet with like half the page filled with his cards, 0:01:57.720 --> 0:01:59.240 his baseball cards. 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:04.320 His Seattle Mariner cards when he played the King home. Yeah, yeah, 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.040 he was. It's weird because he was not a great hitter, 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:11.519 but he played so long he ended up third all 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.960 time and hits by a shortstop for kind of while 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:17.640 it's crazy. Yeah, only the only short stops in baseball 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.440 history have more hits than Omar Buskel are Derek Jeter 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:24.560 and Honus Wagner. That's it. That's wild to me, but 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.760 they what the heck? So on this podcast, we've got 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.120 pop goes to the culture and the mailback. So let's start. 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.400 That means Ohio al gets the band started. 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:47.400 Here we go, Ohio Oujohn, All. 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:49.880 Right, let's get right to it. And this story from 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:51.280 the other day. I've not had a chance to talk 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.639 about this. I don't know if you guys on Covino 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:58.639 and Rich talked about it involves Miranda Lambert at a concert. 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:00.240 You see this story bouncing our on. 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:04.919 Of course, it was a huge debate, such a divided 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:12.160 topic that whoopee Goldberg walked off the set of the view. Oh, 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.480 because we're arguing so much about this. 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.320 So if you don't know the story, I mean the story. 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.400 She's in Vegas, she's doing a residency in Vegas, is 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:24.200 that what she's up to. 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:28.680 It's called the Velvet Rodeo and tickets are only seven 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.399 hundred and fifty seven dollars to get in and see here, 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:32.480 very affordable. 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.000 Cat. She really looks out for the little little person. 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:40.120 So Miranda Lambert, she stopped her show and she goofed 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:44.880 on a couple of fans who were taking a selfie. 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:49.000 And yeah, she said she was pissed off because they 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:50.760 weren't engaged in her performance. 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.920 Yeah, So which side of the spectrum did you fall on? 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:55.840 Danny at this? 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:57.600 Which which part where you at here? 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.480 I mean, if somebody's taking a set at a concert, 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:05.840 it is to commemorate that memory as this is an 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:09.240 amazing moment with me and my friends. So if I'm 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:14.280 singing and I see that happening, I'm not thinking these douchebags, 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:17.240 how dare they take a picture of themselves during my 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:21.200 live performance? She needs to get off her high horse here. 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:25.200 Yeah. So my take on it is, as long as 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:28.960 they were paying, I don't see what the problem was. 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:32.479 And the other thing is, if you take a selfie, 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.680 most people who take selfies at concerts, I'm gonna I'm 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.480 gonna stereotype. You know what they do? Right after that, 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.560 they go to Instagram or some other social media and 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:46.920 post them right, hey here I am. Wouldn't that then 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.640 lead to more people maybe seeing this and saying, hey, 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:52.120 I'm Miranda Lambert, I should go see that show. I 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.480 want to I want to be part of that show. 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:56.000 I want to check it out. 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.360 Well, the main lady that she directed these comments at 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:03.320 was on Good Morning America at the beginning of this 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:08.200 past week, and she said that prior Sir Lambert stopping 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.960 the concert and saying all this, they were having a 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:13.839 great time. She said they were up dancing. Some of 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.039 the time, they were sitting, other times they got up 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.279 to take pictures. She said, And then when this happened, 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:24.599 everything changed. The entire mood of the arena changed. In fact, 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.200 some of the paid customers got up and walked out. 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.479 Well, if I'm paying, I'm not walking out because of that. 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.960 But she must have been having a bad day, right, 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:37.000 Miranda Lambers. I don't think she's done that before, has she? 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:37.719 I don't know. 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:39.599 Oh, I have no idea. 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.760 But you're right, dude, do we know why? Maybe Blake 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:43.960 Shelton divorced her. 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:49.679 There's more to the story, Danny's much more to the story. 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:51.040 Sure, Sure? 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:53.320 What else do we have on pop goos the culture? 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:59.320 How about this viral video from the state of Arizona. 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:03.240 Stories in the winter time when people complain it's too cold. 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:05.320 I love stories in the summertime when people can plain 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:09.560 it's too hot. And in Arizona, I've been there many 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.719 times in the summer and it is insane to the 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.720 membrane there in the Valley of the Sun. They call 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:18.560 it the Valley of the Sun for a reason. And 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:23.680 they have experienced the last ten days or so extreme heat, 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.600 which is what they normally get in July. And I 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.040 have family who lives in Phoenix. In fact, I told 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.440 the story. My cousins came out to visit us. They 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:36.719 leave Arizona. They're retired, they're older. They leave Arizona during 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.880 July and August. They don't even they don't, even though 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.640 that's their home. They leave and travel around the country 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:46.880 because it's too freaking hot to stay there. It's just 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:50.440 so miserable because of the heat and all that. Anyway, 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:54.640 get to the point, please, So this viral video, of course, 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.080 as always, I believe it was on the TikTok there 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:02.440 and it claims to show that the back of a car, 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:07.239 the tail light of a car melted because of the heat. 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.520 You buying that, You think that actually took place there? 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.520 Wouldn't that happen to a lot of cars, not just 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.480 one car. I'm a little skeptical of this one. 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:20.640 Well, I'll tell you what. Near Teth Valley, there is 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:26.360 a town called Ridgecrest, and we had a radio building 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.200 there for one of my radio groups. What is it called, 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:33.120 almost like a sister city where they were able to 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:36.960 do sales in that city for one of their radio stations. 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:37.080 Part of the club. 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:41.600 What okay, exactly, Yeah. There. Their radio group was like 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:45.240 spread out all over southern California, especially in the six 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:47.240 to six to one area code, and then all the 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:50.120 way out to Ridgecrest. They had an office. Well, they 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.800 had me drive out there one day to do some paperwork. 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:56.880 It was like one hundred degrees by eight thirty am. 0:07:57.520 --> 0:07:59.960 It was like driving into Death Valley. It was insane 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.560 and I had an Audi at the time. I'm not 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:04.840 kidding you, Ben. When I came out of their office 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:09.280 after doing the paperwork, my leather seats were literally melting 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:12.800 in the sun, like soft to the touch, to where 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:14.840 it looked like the seats were dripping. 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:19.320 Yeah, that's nuts. I mean, I've been in some hot 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:22.120 what I've remember seeing cars. Let me say, I'll send 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.040 you the clip here. You can check it out. I 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:28.000 don't know though, maybe it was because of that specific car, 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:32.439 kind of an older, older car, But it does appear 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:35.400 to be melted. I don't know. It's these deep fakes 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.040 on the internet. Who the hell knows what's real and 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:40.600 what's not. But it certainly looks if you check it 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:43.240 out there the I think it's the left side of 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:48.000 the car there that's fairly melted. It's fairly melted, for sure. 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.680 I love the local newscasts when it gets this hot 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:56.559 where they have the great stories of how to avoid 0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:00.400 heat stroke. Oh yeah, make sure you day in the 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:02.800 shade and they put the bullet points on the screen. 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:06.400 Drink lots of water, thank. 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.920 You, stay in the shade. 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:12.400 Yeah, okay, drink lots of water. 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:17.640 Yeah. And people we have friends that do local news 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:19.800 and stuff. But it is wild. They have the same 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:23.400 like fifteen evergreen stories. They mix out throughout the year, 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.240 like when it's tax day and they have someone in 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:30.000 stationed outside the post office. You know, you have to 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.120 get your taxes in, although that's kind of an outdated 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.240 thing anyway now because most people do it online. Are 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:35.920 they getting extensions and all? 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:37.000 That? 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:39.880 That Arizona melting is real right there that you just 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:40.959 sent me. That's real. 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.920 Okay, Now, I'm gonna bring this story up because I 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:48.640 don't know anyone in my circle that is a bigger 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:53.680 Tupac fan than you, Danny g with your Tupac mask, 0:09:53.880 --> 0:10:00.240 your famous Halloween costume which you're synonymous with that I 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.880 saw this story. This is wild. There was a new development. 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:08.400 They claim that police have a new lead in Tupac's murder, 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:13.520 which goes all the way back to nineteen ninety six. 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:19.160 That's wild that it's been so long. But he was 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.760 killed in Vegas after a fight in September of nineteen 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:25.360 ninety six. He was gunned down there and it has 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:29.719 been unsolved all these years, and there supodedly they're still investigating, 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:33.240 and there's all kinds of different theories on what actually happened, 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.360 who the suspect was, or who the person that actually 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:40.600 did it was, and was it somebody, was it Shug 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.120 Knight or somebody like that had orchestrated it? Who the 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:47.640 hell knows. He's in jail. But according to Channel eight 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:52.320 in Vegas, they there was a new revelation there was 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:56.440 a search warrant issued this week in Henderson, Nevada, right 0:10:56.440 --> 0:11:01.960 in the Vegas Valley there and they attempting to get 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:08.400 into a home connected to the investigation into Tupac's murder. Now, 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:13.200 what could possibly be in that home after twenty seven years, 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:16.320 almost like, what would they be looking for? 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:21.720 This investigation has stunk from the very get go, lots 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:26.360 of corruption and collusion, and there's been documentaries on This's 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:30.480 been multiple documentaries about how this got fumbled from the beginning. 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.520 So I don't trust anything I see about it right now, 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.360 you're right, what would they find. 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.880 Twenty almost twenty seven, twenty seven years in September and 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.600 we're almost into August now, so it's been close to 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:42.400 twenty seven years. 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:44.320 Yeah, I can't believe it was that long ago. 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:49.320 I know, that's like a long time. It doesn't seem 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:51.480 like it was that. That was a huge deal in 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:54.880 that and we were in that in that nineties rap 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:58.160 Wars where Biggie Small's got gunned down in LA. 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:02.559 What's really sad too besides thinking about their families and 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:05.559 how hard that all must have been when it first happened, 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:10.360 but the thirty years almost thirty years now of hit 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:14.720 songs and movies and books and everything else they did, 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.280 Like look at how much of a mogul jay Z 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:20.440 is right now. That would have been Biggie, not jay Z, 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:23.199 and then Tupac would have been the West Coast version 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:25.560 of that, so they would have been still the two 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.240 big faces of rap, and they both would be like 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.599 doctor Dre. They'd both be billionaires with a B. 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:35.640 Yeah, yeah, I know, I mean, it's it's crazy, but anyways, 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:39.200 so we'll see if it any happens with that Tupac story. 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:44.000 And one more at least one more Here on pop 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:47.360 goes to culture and good news. If you look forward 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:51.600 to Taco Tuesday, it has now been freed from the 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:59.960 trademark Kurffluffle after more than thirty years the shop called it. 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:04.840 The restaurant called Taco John had the trademark to Taco Tuesday, 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:07.880 which means other places couldn't use Taco Tuesday without paying 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:12.000 Taco John. Well, the CEO of that restaurant, announced this 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:15.720 week that it would not engage in a legal battle 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:21.480 to retain the trademark. It has voluntarily abandoned the trademark. 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:26.480 So now Taco Bell and every other Taco place can 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:31.319 legally use Taco Tuesday without having to pay any money. 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:34.920 That's why I saw your boy recently, Lebron on a 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:38.840 Taco Tuesday Taco Bell commercial. Who me, I have a 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:39.880 huge basketball IQ. 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.560 Let's get to the mail bag. You know what that means. 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:59.600 It's this mail bag all right? 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:00.839 Thank you?

Put something catching in the headline 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:20.680 mail or something like that, so I know it's for 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:23.040 the mail bag. Get a lot of email. Want to 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.000 make sure I know that you want this for the 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:29.119 mail bag. First one. First one comes from Mike in Fullerton, 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:33.720 says Hi, Ben and Danny G. Congratulations on another successful edition, 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:36.920 Lee Mallorpalooza. I hope to be part of it myself 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:39.120 one of these days, but sadly my act has been 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:42.520 rejected two years in a row. Yeah. So Mike had 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:48.160 the idea to try to hold his breath for the 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.080 longest amount of time. I think or it was dead air. 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:52.080 I think you wanted dead air set the record for 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:57.600 dead air, like two minutes of dead air. That did 0:14:57.640 --> 0:14:58.200 not work. 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.360 I don't think any of our affil would appreciate that. 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:04.680 Yeah, our bosses probably would have thought that would be 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:06.880 better than some of the calls that we've taken. But anyway, 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:10.240 he says, Now, if you guys were in the talent show, 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.520 what would your act be? A little song and dance, 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:18.840 maybe some comedy or what. Yeah, so I have not 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:20.680 even thought about the talent So now I was in 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:24.200 a talent show when I was in junior high school, 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.720 me and my buddy from who he lives in Dallas 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:28.480 and I's lived in Dallas for like thirty years. But 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:33.040 we were the Blues Brothers and we did Rubber Biscuit 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:35.800 and we dressed up with the suit on, the tie, 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:39.720 the hat, the whole thing, and the crowd loved us 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.760 at the junior high school. So little lip syncing of 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:47.000 the Blues Brothers was the way to go. That was 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:50.359 the way to get it done back then. But comedy's 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.760 not really worked well on the mal Or Palooza. But 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:55.840 God blessed the people that keep trying to do the 0:15:55.880 --> 0:16:00.400 comedy every year despite it most of the failing time. 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:02.320 And again, do you ever go to act any Can 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:05.440 you fart on command? Can you burp on and any 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:05.960 of that? No? 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.960 No, But speaking at Tupac, I probably would have busted 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:13.680 out a long poem. And when I say long, it 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:16.600 would have just felt long, because when anybody reads a poem, 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.400 you wanted to end immediately. Yeah. 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:24.840 The key with poems is brevity. That is the key, right, 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:27.640 Brevity is the key to life. That's the way to go. 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:29.560 My haikus, they're my favorite. 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:34.000 No, my only Victor Brick Jacobs on the flagship in 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:37.040 la is allowed to do a haiku. Thank you, Mike. 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:40.960 Next up Fred from Spring Texas's Hellogan, guys been both 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.720 you and your wife have jobs dealing with phone calls. 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:48.600 Have there been times that you share tips dealing with 0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:53.680 the wide range of people you deal with? He says, well, 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:57.320 it's much different that the people I talked to are 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:01.000 enjoying themselves having a couple of pops. Most of the 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:03.440 people seem to call up my wife. When they're calling 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:06.440 my wife, it's a serious thing. Usually because she works 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:08.760 as a nine to one to one operator, there's a 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:11.520 much different situation. But she does get calls from people 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:13.879 that are just lonely like I get. That's how we 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:16.760 found Genie and Medford. The famous story from Genie and Medford, 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:19.480 the greatest caller in the history of Fox Sports Radio 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:21.480 and the greatest caller in the history of the show. 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:25.520 When Genie and Medford kept calling nine to one one 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:28.560 because she was lonely and she wanted someone to talk to, 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:32.960 they arrested Genie and Medford. Then they told Genie just 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:37.159 find a radio show that's on and call them. And 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:40.600 that's how she found our show and the rest is history. 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:43.679 So that's how that that whole bay. 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:47.000 Thank you to all the fine officers that feed drunk 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:48.240 listeners to us like that. 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:52.480 Yeah, well, speaking of that, I actually ended up at 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:56.280 a party, a retirement party for one of the police 0:17:56.320 --> 0:18:00.560 officers my wife works with who's retiring, is moving to Tennessee. 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:03.080 Got it all planned out and all that. So I 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:07.840 was hanging out at this warehouse in a secret location 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:15.960 filled with Maseratis and Lamborghini's and really expensive cars. You 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:20.680 know that Jay Leno Adam Carolla type setup. Oh yeah, yeah, 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:22.320 it was that kind of set up. I'm not really 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:24.640 a car guy, Like I love the car that I have, 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:26.359 but I'm not really a car guy. But this place 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:28.960 was nuts. It was insane and you wouldn't know it 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:31.480 from the outside. It's just like a normal, non descript building. 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:34.400 I would have loved that. I bet inside Adam Carolla's 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:36.720 garage before I want to leave. 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:40.040 Yeah, no, it was cool. It reminded me of my 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:42.280 Hot Wheels collection when I was a kid, except this 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:46.440 was the real car. Like, I was like, this is nuts, 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:49.120 and so I did that. That was that was interesting. 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:52.840 That was fun. We had a good time. The problem Danny, 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:55.560 And this was just triggered by Fred's email for some 0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:59.640 reason she brought he brought my wife's name up. When 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:03.080 you go to I am an introvert, so for parties 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:05.119 are kind of tough for me. But when you go 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:08.400 to a party, what is the proper amount of time 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:11.960 to spend it a party? If you're not hosting the part, 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:13.800 if you're visiting the party, what would you think the 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.120 proper amount of time is to spend at a party? 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:20.760 Dan, depends how many drugs and how much alcohol is there. 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:25.679 I'm on drugs right now, man, Yes, I completely understand. 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:28.080 But on a you were to go in the middle 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:28.879 of the bell curve. 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:31.919 Uh, probably ninety minutes, I'm guessing. 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:36.800 Yeah. So ninety minutes is the amount of time that 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:39.159 most would say, because ninety minutes. If you go to 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:42.800 see a Broadway show, they're ninety minutes with a maybe 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:46.160 it's like a half hour intermission or whatever, fifteen minutes, 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:48.560 but it ends up being about half the actual showtimes 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:53.720 ninety minutes. Vegas shows ninety minutes. I would be okay 0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:57.760 with pushing it to two two and a half hours 0:19:57.920 --> 0:19:58.879 if it's a good party. 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:01.720 I think a lot of people would probably say two hours. 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:06.480 Okay, so two hours fine. I would like you to 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:12.399 take a guest, Danny, how many hours I spent as 0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:16.480 the date of my bride at a retirement party for 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:19.600 one of her coworkers last weekend. 0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:23.760 You're bringing up something that bothers me for my past too, 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:26.119 because I have an ex. She loved to be the 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:29.960 last to leave, and I wanted to shoot myself in 0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:32.359 the head with a nail gun anytime I had to 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:36.040 go to a party with her, because she overstayed by 0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:40.200 at least two hours every stupid time. And so I'm 0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:43.080 going to say you were there for probably four and 0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:43.960 a half hours. 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:47.840 That's a great guess, and that's a long time. Four 0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:51.199 and a half hours is a ridiculously long time and 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:54.119 should never be at a party four and a half hours. 0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:57.680 So my wife does not necessarily get the parties early, 0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:01.080 but she wants to be there at the very end. 0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:04.840 I believe in the Irish goodbye. I want people to 0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:07.959 wonder where the hell did Ben go. I don't know 0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:09.960 he laughed, ad he leave? I haven't seen him in 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:12.360 a while. Maybe he's in the bathroom. I don't need 0:21:12.400 --> 0:21:14.800 to go around and shake hands with everybody and say goodbye. 0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:17.400 But that's me. Most people say goodbye. That's just kind 0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:23.160 of how they Danny hand the guy. At that party 0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:31.320 on Saturday. Last Saturday, we spent six and a half hours. 0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:33.240 Oh yeah at that part. 0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:35.119 Got to be kidding me. 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:38.520 Six and a half hours at the party. At one 0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:41.479 point I escaped and the party was fun. I had 0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:43.359 a good time. They had a taco guy there making 0:21:43.400 --> 0:21:45.879 tacos on the griddle, and it was you know, they 0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:48.800 had alcohol and I brought I made some cookies that 0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:50.440 brought those there, so it was it was a good part, 0:21:50.800 --> 0:21:54.840 but even a good party. Six and a half hours, 0:21:55.200 --> 0:21:59.320 we round up seven hours. At one point I left 0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:03.720 the party. I walked down the block from the garage 0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:06.080 with all the cars because I just needed to get 0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:09.520 some alone time. And I started calling random people on 0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:12.200 my phone just so I could, you know, just I 0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:13.960 could have an excuse, says I got to take a call. 0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:19.400 Six and a half hours even too long for Jed 0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:21.880 to fly. If there was free cocaine there. 0:22:23.560 --> 0:22:26.479 Yeah, well Jed would he would end up bouncing off 0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:29.800 the walls and ending up arrested if that were the case. 0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:33.720 All right, Next up on the mailbag Barry from South Carolina, 0:22:33.760 --> 0:22:37.040 I write saying yo yo mob Benny formally in Tennessee. 0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:41.200 Barry says, this week Russell o'coon announced that he lost 0:22:41.240 --> 0:22:43.600 more weight. Apparently he lost over one hundred pounds by 0:22:43.680 --> 0:22:47.520 fasting for forty days. He just drank water for forty days, 0:22:48.359 --> 0:22:50.560 He says. I know you fast, but have you ever 0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:53.399 gone that long with no food, just water? 0:22:53.640 --> 0:22:53.800 No? 0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:56.640 The limit I. 0:22:57.200 --> 0:23:01.920
