He says, I was just riding 64 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: in because I really enjoyed your trip to Chicago conversation 65 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: with Danny G. I will be traveling there this weekend, 66 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: and in fact i'm here right now. By the time 67 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: that this podcast, the Sunday podcast gets released, I will 68 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: re listen to the podcast of you talking about it. 69 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 1: But what was some hidden jams perhaps we could check 70 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 1: out in the downtown area on our last day. I 71 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: figure the Willis Tower and the Bean Thing. Love the 72 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: podcast from Mason. Well, I recommend Mason, since you're a 73 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 1: tourist and you're doing the tourist things in Chicago. They 74 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: have a great architectural boat tour. There's a couple of 75 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: different companies that do it, and they take you right 76 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: down the Chicago River and you can see all the 77 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: beautiful architecture in Chicago's one of the great visual cities 78 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: in America. To you know, for our blind listeners just 79 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: imagine some really big skyscrapers. Is beautiful and it's it's 80 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: really neat, uh. And so it takes you down. They 81 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: tell you the history of Chicago, what's happened there, some 82 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: of the old buildings, and I learned some interesting fun 83 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 1: facts on that I enjoyed a lot. I don't know 84 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: if you're into that kind of thing. Mason, I did 85 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: not go to the We don't call up the Willis Tower, 86 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: the Sears Tower. Did not do that. Did go to 87 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: the Bean. And if you want Mason, about a block 88 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: away from the Bean is the Mallard Building. It's about 89 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: a block away from the famous Bean in Chicago. And 90 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: they have like a tourist there that you can go 91 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: down a soldier field and check that out. It looks 92 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: like a spaceship these days. I did goof on Wrigley 93 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 1: Field because it's all corporate now, but if you've never 94 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: been there, it's pretty pretty neat to walk around and 95 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: think that that team has played on that field for 96 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: a hundred years or something like that. At so and 97 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: even in Chicago, Danny any Chicago, No, No, Chicago. No, 98 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: it's one of the great cities. I haven't got to visit. 99 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: I've been there on a layover quick airplane. It wasn't quick, 100 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: but it was an airplane change. But other than that, 101 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: I haven't got to go as a tourist all right. 102 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: And and by the way, Masson, if you want to 103 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: visit my cousin. She lives in the kind of a 104 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: North Burbs outside Chicago, so you can come over there 105 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 1: and eat a brisket or something like that. You have 106 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: a grand old time, right, what what could possibly possibly 107 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: go wrong with that? But now Chicago, I think the 108 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: crime is obviously an issue in Chicago, but that's an 109 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: issue in a lot of places. And I was there 110 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: not that long ago, and I survived to tell about it. 111 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: So he's gotta like anywhere any big city, you gotta 112 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: be careful and try to avoid certain parts. Uh. You know, 113 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: south side is not particularly great in Chicago, for example, 114 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: but you gotta picture spot. Maybe while you were there, 115 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: you heard some stories about the history of the city, 116 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: like San Francisco that was the early nineteen hundreds where 117 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: they had to rebuild after the great earthquake there in Chicago. 118 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: My dad was born there, so remember him and telling 119 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: me a story about the late eighteen hundreds where a 120 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: fire ran through Chicago for a day and left like 121 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: a third of the city homeless. They had to rebuild 122 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: the whole city the great fire. Mrs o'larry's cow that 123 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,679 Speaker 1: it was from a farm. Yeah, yeah, Well, of those days, 124 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: the Chicago is not. It wasn't a big city. It 125 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: was a farm, you know, farming area. Yeah, they said 126 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: that that story is bullshit about the cow. They said 127 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: that on the boat tour. I remember I told us 128 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: on the podcast that Chicago actually the name, the Indian 129 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,679 Speaker 1: name for Chicago is like smelly onion is what Chicago means, 130 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: which I think is hilarious. And they talked about on 131 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: that boat tour if Mason the Millennial takes the boat tour, 132 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: they talked about the fact they called it the I'm 133 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: talking trying to trying to remember the term here that 134 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: they used, the balconation of Chicago. They called it the 135 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: balconation of Chicago because they had all these old buildings 136 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: with no balconies, a lot of these old warehouses, and 137 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: they turned them into these marvelous apartment buildings, but in 138 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: order to guss them up a little bit, they put 139 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: these balconies. They just hung the balconies, these metal balconies, 140 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: off the side of the buildings in Chicago. So they 141 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: called it the Balkanization of Chicago, which I thought was interesting. Yeah. 142 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: Next up, Blind Scott in Boston, the North End of Boston, 143 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: says Ben, are you worried about the wild fires this 144 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: summer at your new home in the North Woods. Well, 145 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: you're always cognizant. You're always cognizant of the wildfires. But 146 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: am I worried? No, I'm not. I'm not worried, mainly 147 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: because about uh many many other houses would have to 148 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: burn to get to my house to burn. So, but 149 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean it couldn't happen. There have been fires 150 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 1: where I'm living now, and this is an issue. But really, 151 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: fire seasons year round in California. It's not just during 152 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 1: the summer. Right. People usually think, well July August is 153 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: the big fire season, but it's year round. Now, have 154 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: they gotten rid of the shrub around your guys homes 155 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: in your area? Oh? No, Now we got cactus. Remember 156 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 1: we talked about it. We probably plenty cactus. So you 157 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: gotta burn through the cactus, is what you gotta do. 158 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: So I did say your wife has a black thumb. 159 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: Yes that is true. Yes, alright, come back, pay attention. 160 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: It's sign from now call balls fan Jimmy rites in 161 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 1: from big Orange Country. He says, for both of you, 162 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: with the cost of living so high in California, if 163 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: you could move, where would it be? We can ask 164 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: this question semi regularly balls fan Jimmy, and is there 165 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,839 Speaker 1: anywhere that she Wisconsin, North Carolina places I went where 166 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: a lot of cheap Chicago was not, but as she 167 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: was compared to California l A. I don't know. I 168 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: had opportunities to do radio in Boston, but that seems 169 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: like it's just as expensive as l A. If I 170 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,439 Speaker 1: was just going based on cost of living, I would 171 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 1: likely go below the Mason Dixon line, somewhere in the South. 172 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: I would think, I'm not sure where, somewhere in Florida. 173 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: What about you, Danny, where would you go if you 174 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: wanted to save a couple of nickels? I mean, I 175 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: guess I would go somewhere near Sodona in Arizona. Maybe 176 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: that area was was pretty like Flagstaff because it's more 177 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: like mountains and forests. It's not desert. Uh huh, you're right. 178 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: I mean I will go to Hawaii. It's not it's 179 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: not it's cheap. That's expensive. But if I was gonna 180 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: pay the same thing i'm paying now or close to it, 181 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: I'd rather be there. In Maui, there are not a 182 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: lot of affordable places, and I'm a West Coast guy 183 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: like you. So yeah, yeah, yeah. The other thing too, 184 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: is I've heard this has been a thing. We talked 185 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: about this sending on the show that a number of 186 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: people are moving to Tijuana from l a in San Diego, 187 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 1: moving to Tijuana, moving to Mexico save money. The pace 188 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: so goes the dollar to the pace, so it goes 189 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: a long way. In Mexico, you can live like a 190 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: king there. We have a janitor who's retired and he 191 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: comes to the campus to visit sometimes. He lives half 192 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: the time in Mexico, and he tells these big stories 193 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: about how he's living like a king in Mexico. Yeah, 194 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: like he's got all these girlfriends and he's got this 195 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: big mansion. And I mean, and here in the United 196 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: States he makes average money, or he did make average money, 197 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: but in Mexico he is royalty. Yeah. And I know 198 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: if I was from Mexico, I come to come to 199 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: the States. He worked for a few years and it's 200 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: hard labor, and then you can end up owning a 201 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: bunch of apartment buildings in Mexico and you're geez, you're 202 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,719 Speaker 1: not kidding. He went on to tell us that he 203 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 1: just bought his daughter a condo down there, talk about 204 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: stretching your dollars and we have no idea what that's 205 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: like here where we live. No, no, but we couldn't 206 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: own anything in Mexico, right because we're not from Mexico. 207 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: The even though you buy stuff there as an American. Yeah, 208 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: you're renting the land basically. Yeah. Yeah, so you don't 209 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 1: really get to own owning of that stuff. But a 210 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: good question from Balls fan Jimmy. All right, Next up 211 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: Big Ben and Danny ge Neil from the Real Miami Here. 212 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: The beef between the retired couple and the fake Miami 213 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:52,119 Speaker 1: Palm Bay, Uh, Miami Palm Bay and Queen of Gascon 214 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 1: team started when for some reason, the retirees dug up 215 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:01,439 Speaker 1: some private info and on Gascon's family, specifically his sister, 216 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: and we're not nice about it to Gascon and David. 217 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: She called her the count and then it was on 218 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: like donkey Kong, Neil says, So, I guess that sounds 219 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: about right. On the Origin stories topic, Ben, what was 220 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: your impetus for the fasting? Did you hear the Joe 221 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: Rogan podcast or something? I don't recall you talking in 222 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: detail on when, why, how you got started on fasting 223 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: guy was not because of Joe Rogan. I don't remember 224 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: exactly what led me down this pad. I think my 225 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: wife had something to do with it. She had mentioned 226 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: that some people were doing this at her work, and 227 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: and even before I was officially fasting with an app 228 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: on my phone, when I did lose a lot of 229 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: the weight originally and I gained some back, and I've 230 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: lost it again, I was doing it. I was intermittent 231 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: fast againning. I was trying to go because there's there's 232 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 1: a couple of there's million million different ways to diet. 233 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: A lot of people eat like birds. I don't want 234 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: to eat like a bird. So I was like, if 235 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 1: I eat once a day, I can eat a good meal, 236 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: and then if I just don't think about it, I 237 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: can then look forward to my next big meal. And 238 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,559 Speaker 1: then I read some stuff online. My wife had mentioned 239 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: some stuff, and I read some stuff online about how 240 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: for hundreds and thousands of years before the mass grocery 241 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: stores and things that we have, and this this time 242 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: to be alive, that people who had to go out 243 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: and hunt for their food often didn't find anything, that 244 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: their percentage of success was like less than twenty. They'd 245 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: go out hunting for something to eat, and they wouldn't 246 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: always find something, and so a lot of the time 247 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: they would just have to fast. They wouldn't have the 248 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: proper food. They've beaten twigs and berries and things like that. 249 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: So so that was like, Okay, that makes sense, and 250 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: I fell in love with it. And then Neil says, 251 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: for Danny g I may have missed this, but how, 252 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: when and why why did you start the school gig 253 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: in general? So he wants to know your teaching move. Yeah, 254 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: it's something that I started with. Fifteen years ago, I 255 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: walked away from a program director job at a big 256 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: radio station. I just had kind of had it with 257 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: the corporate way they were running. They were starting to 258 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: run things. There was a change in upper management and 259 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I think I'm done with this 260 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: for right now and started working out of school. Once 261 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: you have the radio bug, they always say this about broadcasters. 262 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: Even when you take a break, that's all it is. 263 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: It's a break, You're gonna go back. I started working 264 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: for NBC Sports Radio Friday Saturday Sunday, and I was 265 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: on the school campus Monday through Friday. So I was 266 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: working seven day weeks for four or five years, and 267 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: then when Fox hired me full time to do your 268 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: show and the Jason Smith Show. Originally I was able 269 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: to drop the school gig and go back to broadcasting 270 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: full time time. When the company moved Clay Travis to 271 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: Rush Limbaugh's chair, suddenly my week was open again. They're like, hey, 272 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: give you a good salary whatever, just to do some 273 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: three day a week stuff for the company. So I 274 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: had days open during the week, and I'm like, well, 275 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: let me go fill it with the education field work 276 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: a kid. There you go, and the rest is history. 277 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: Now he's the coolest summer school teacher around. Every kid 278 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: loves him. He's a hero. You're an inspiration. Everyone wants 279 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: to follow in your footsteps. Uh for that fatass, miss Norton. 280 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: That's right, that Karen. All right, let's see here when 281 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: we're get next up, some Kevin in Kansas is his 282 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: dear Ben and Danny g You guys are pretty wise. 283 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: What are some of the worst team names in any 284 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: pro sport that teams? What teams need to change? You 285 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: should have changed upon relocating. I believe it's what he's 286 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: saying here. I know the Minnesota Lakers made perfect sense 287 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: at one time, but Los Angeles. What would be better 288 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: names instead of the one for those teams that never changed? 289 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: Kevin says, well, the l A River. This is something 290 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: that the early settlers of Los Angeles totally left up 291 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. The l A River at one time was 292 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: an actual river, and they enclosed it in concrete. There 293 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 1: if they had done it differently, think about how much different, 294 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 1: how much better I think l A would have been. 295 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: They had an actual river running through Los Angeles and 296 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: they filled it in with concrete. Terrible, really stupid, same 297 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: dumb decision to take the trains and trolleys out of 298 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: the city back in the day. Oh that's right, Yeah, 299 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: for the oil companies and all that they had public 300 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:46,199 Speaker 1: great public transportation was the envy supposedly of many many cities. 301 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: You can learn more about that in Roger Rabbit. If 302 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: you want to learn more about that in the movie 303 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: Roger Rabbit. It's a documentary on the the evil oil companies. 304 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 1: We could say the same thing for your Clippers, right, 305 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: they were the San Diego Clippers. What is still wrong 306 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: with the Clippers? Well, I think about bad team names 307 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: Charlotte has had, but the Bobcats, the Hornets, Yeah, the 308 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: Hornets is kind of cool, like goofy teal logo, you 309 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: get that. The one that always people bring up the 310 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: Utah Jazz when you think of jazz, when you think 311 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: of authentic jazz, you think as Salt Lake City. Unless 312 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: you don't, that team could be called the Utah Salt 313 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: the Zions saying, any of you can come up with 314 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: a local name. I'm a big advocate of locally. The 315 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: one that's really lame is the Las Vegas Golden Knights. 316 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: Of the Vegas Golden Knights and the NHL so paranoid 317 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 1: they to stick up there took us. They would not 318 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: allow any gambling theme nicknames. You're in Vegas. Think of 319 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: all the different possibilities for a team in Vegas with 320 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: a gambling theme name. The Blackjacks, the Ones, the One 321 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: Armed Bandits, any of those things would have been a 322 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: great nickname, But no. Golden Knights. Come on. The Devil 323 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: Rays also stunk from the start. Yeah that was that 324 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: was never good. But there could have been a way 325 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 1: better nickname for that team from the beginning. But Raise 326 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 1: is stupid too. It's like a pizza place in Manhattan. 327 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: Let's go to Raise and have a pie. Is what 328 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: it sounds like to me, is a dumb name. I 329 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: don't like Marlins either. They I think they whipped on 330 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: both baseball teams there. But at least the Miami Marlins flows. 331 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 1: It flows off the toll. But it didn't start as 332 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: the Miami Marlins. No, it was a Florida Marlins. For 333 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: many many years it was the Florida Marlins. Um. And 334 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 1: then let me think about teams. Now, would you ever 335 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 1: name a team after like a sock, like the Red 336 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: Sox and the White Side? Like? Who thought that was 337 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: the way to go? Who said, you know what, we 338 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 1: got a baseball team here and we don't know what 339 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: to call them, so they're wearing white sox, so we'll 340 00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: call them the White Sox. The that went into that 341 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: fascinating to me. Yeah, the same with our Dodgers. I mean, 342 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: ain't nobody dodging trolleys nowadays? No, No, it's it's absolutely correct. 343 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: And l A King's that's the original. I was a 344 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: team in l A the hockey team. But there's other 345 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: teams named the King's. I I'm a big believer in 346 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: having your own name. I don't like the teams that 347 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: share the names. I had never the New York Giants 348 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,199 Speaker 1: the San Francisco Jans. I know why they did it 349 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 1: because they were both in New York, but I like unique. 350 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: And what did you think of Washington's choice, Oh, the 351 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: the Commanders of the Nationals. I hate both those names, 352 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: and I actually hate every nickname of a Washington, d C. 353 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: Sports franchise. They had the Washington Bullets. I know you 354 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: can't use that name, but that was like that that 355 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: was a cool name. That was a cool logo. Yes 356 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: it was. And you know, I'm doing nostalgia, but when 357 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: I was a kid, one of the first NBA games 358 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: I went to the it was actually a Laker game. 359 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: They were playing the Washington Bullets, and I kept that 360 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: ticket stub for a long time. I had a ticket 361 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: stub and I was like, the coolest thing. I know, 362 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: the Bullets logo, and it's like, oh, that's pretty neat. 363 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: And then they of course get rid of that, and 364 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: uh yeah, it's like the name that was great. That 365 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: moved to Dallas. The north Stars and hockey perfect Minnesota 366 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: north Star they go to Dowas now they're just the Stars. 367 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 1: We're getting carried away on this, but a good question. 368 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: Kevin and Kansas. We can go on and on and 369 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: on and on and on with that. For sure, You've 370 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 1: got mail Mike from Fullerton Rights, and he says, I 371 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: have a similar question for both of the ben Have 372 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: you ever quickly hung up on a caller for having 373 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: a very annoying voice? And for Danny g Wall screening calls, 374 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: have you ever hung up on people for the same 375 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: reason or do you write something down to warned the 376 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: host about the caller's voice. So I'll go first on this, 377 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: Mike uh No. I generally speaking, if I hear an 378 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: odd voice, I get excited. I think this is gonna 379 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 1: be good. This is something again unique. I go back 380 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 1: to the word unique, and that draws me to that 381 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: particular person, and I want to hear their story. So 382 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: I take the opposite nas I when I hear a 383 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: really goofy sounding caller, I think this has a tremendous 384 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: amountability to be good radio and I want to learn 385 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: more about how this person, assuming they're not doing a 386 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 1: fake voice and it's just a real voice. Hey man, 387 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: you might not notice, but I'm black. Yeah, I want it. Now? 388 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: What about you, Danny? What? What what's your technique there? Yeah? 389 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: I mean producing your show, and your show is super busy. 390 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: You're spinning eight plates at once, so there's no time 391 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: to sit there and type, Hey Ben, this dude's got 392 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: a strange voice, and I would lean more like what 393 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 1: you're saying. If it is a voice that really stands out, 394 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 1: then that's really good for a radio show. Because you 395 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: don't want all the voices to sound similar. No you don't, 396 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: you know, and all the guys to be Hello, it's Tim, 397 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 1: It's Trim from Manhattan.

And I like really good laughs too, 403 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: people that have contagious laughs. That's one good thing about 404 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: your show. Like when you get Eddie to laugh, his 405 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: laugh is very contagious. So that's one thing I listened for, 406 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: or notice I should say when I'm on the phone screening, 407 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: I'll talk with somebody.

Right, so, he says, been and Danny g 518 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: Two weeks ago, Danny talked about how to check a 519 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: watermelon for ripeness. Oh yeah, thumping is fine, Cliff says, 520 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:05,719 Speaker 1: looking for the brown spider veins suggests sweetness. Yeah, okay, 521 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 1: I says. The best indication of ripened melon is by 522 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: placing a broom straw on the watermelon. If it spins 523 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: by it, you can thank me later. Would say what 524 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: he said. If you place a broom straw, all right, 525 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: so you take a piece of your broom you put 526 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: it on the watermelon, and if it spins by it, 527 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: Why would I have a broom straw with me? Because 528 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: you want a nice, delicious watermelon. That's why you would 529 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: remember to put that in your pocket before you go 530 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: to the groceries store, before you go to Costco or 531 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: Walmart or whatever your store of choices. You gotta get 532 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: a little broomstraw. That must be a Southern thing. Cliff 533 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: must have learned that that's like an old family thing. 534 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: Either that or he's just bullshiting us and this is 535 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: all scam and he just wants to punk us. You 536 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: have a good laugh. Imagine us spinning something on a 537 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: watermelon exactly. Van the one Legged Man or one legged 538 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: Bama Man, This is a guy that has legs eating 539 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: off by an alligator, has like bitten off by an alligator, 540 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: and then his buddy killed the alligator and then they 541 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: ate it. It's a very masculine story. You don't get 542 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: that story in Boston. You don't get that story in Seattle. 543 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,719 Speaker 1: You get that story in Alabama. Wait, though, if you 544 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: eat the alligator that ate you, then you're eating yourself. 545 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: Well no, they they they I guess the leg the 546 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: way the way it worked, the way this works. So 547 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: Van the one legged Bama Man, as I remember the 548 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: story he told, he ended up having his leg bitten 549 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: almost off by the alligate. So the alligator kind of 550 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: spit it out after chewing for a while, so they 551 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: then it was hanging on by a thread. They had 552 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: to cut off the leg. Look a piece of humba babba. 553 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 1: It's only good for a few seconds exactly. Yeah, it 554 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: was like, I don't I know, I liked it, but 555 00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: I don't like it that much. I'm gonna spit it back. 556 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: But by the I mean he done at all the 557 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: ligaments were destroyed and so the leg had to be 558 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: chopped off, and so then they ended up killing the 559 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: alligator and then they had the delicious alley. Anyway, he says, 560 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 1: Coop wouldn't put me through on on aspects, So I 561 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,239 Speaker 1: want to do this right now.

They did not make it with 669 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 1: me to my adult life. Most of them I had 670 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,040 Speaker 1: to sell off to pay a bet on a Super 671 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:27,320 Speaker 1: Bowl when I was in high school and I bet 672 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 1: on a super Bowl.

And from that 675 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,360 Speaker 1: moment on, Ben, I have never gambled on sports again. 676 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,720 Speaker 1: It's a good life lesson. It really was. It really 677 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:47,120 Speaker 1: was a let's go quickly here. Pierre from Springfields has been. 678 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,279 Speaker 1: I thought I heard you say you gotta girl. Yeah, 679 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 1: we talked about it, we gave you credit. Pierre Slash, Alfhae, 680 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 1: Alien Pinter And yesterday's show is it the outdoor Variety? 681 00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: And if so, does that mean that I could convince 682 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 1: you to splurge for an outdoor wood or gas pizza oven. 683 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 1: I just imagine the ugly sweater party was Chef Benny's garlic, 684 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:10,400 Speaker 1: onion and bell pepper pizzas flying out of the oven 685 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,440 Speaker 1: every two or three minutes. That is on my list. 686 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 1: But I can only do one crazy thing a year, 687 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,440 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna have to wait till next year. Pierre, 688 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 1: I've got the griddle. I'm mastering the griddle. But we'll 689 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 1: see what happens next year. Carlos in Houston, Texas Bang 690 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,319 Speaker 1: Bang says a long time, no talk. Ben. Like I 691 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 1: said before, I'm always listening if I don't email the 692 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,080 Speaker 1: podcast anyway. My question for you guys is how did 693 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,719 Speaker 1: the sandstorm Fridays come about? Was this a Danny g 694 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 1: idea or Ben Mallory idea? Also, what are the chances 695 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: you get gascon on the podcast? Just to catch up? 696 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,439 Speaker 1: And one last thing, I truly hate to see that 697 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:52,319 Speaker 1: your wish did didn't come true with the Astros being 698 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 1: the dwellers of the division. But it's a long season. 699 00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,319 Speaker 1: As you know, world series aren't one in June. Just 700 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,480 Speaker 1: keep up the Angels troll job. I get a kick 701 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:04,839 Speaker 1: out of it all. Yeah, well, no need to ask 702 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,879 Speaker 1: me to keep that up, Carlos, because the Angel PR 703 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,920 Speaker 1: staff made sure that I keep that up. But Sandstorm, 704 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 1: that's all you, Danny. You had nothing to do with Sandstorm. 705 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 1: That's all your addition to the show. You added that 706 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,400 Speaker 1: to the show. Yeah, the radio stations I programmed throughout 707 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,400 Speaker 1: the years, I was always known for my Friday playlist 708 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 1: festive Friday jams, and that one was great because I 709 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:30,400 Speaker 1: could even play drops from the show during that Sandstorm song. 710 00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 1: So that just became a classic on your show, and 711 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,880 Speaker 1: I passed it onto Roberto, who's kept it alive. Yeah, 712 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 1: although you would play, you played many more sun drops. 713 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:42,960 Speaker 1: I remember it plays a few, but Roberto, you know you, 714 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,719 Speaker 1: you would play like a bunch and mix them all 715 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 1: and then that other song that you came up with 716 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,719 Speaker 1: that you found. I've had friends of mine that do 717 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,560 Speaker 1: radio shows around the country that have asked me, what 718 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 1: is the name of that song, Lookout Weekend? Yes, yes, 719 00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 1: that is it. I'm sure there'll be people all on 720 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,800 Speaker 1: the podcast. What's the would give me more information? Lookout Weekend? 721 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:07,840 Speaker 1: It's a It's a not a mainstream song, but perfect 722 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 1: if you do a radio show going into a weekend. 723 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,720 Speaker 1: It's wonderful. Yeah, it was a freestyle artist from back 724 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,960 Speaker 1: in the eighties and nineties. Then we would always play 725 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,320 Speaker 1: that going into the weekend on my hip hop radio station. 726 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 1: So I brought that to your show with me.
