82
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: that you were back in Facebook post and that led

83
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: to a lot of vitriol. Uh. People were very upset

84
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: and they did not have peace of mind. Did not

85
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,760

Speaker 1: are actual messages by actual listeners of the show. We

88
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: call it the mail bag. It's a jumbled up collection

89
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,919

93
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: and says, hey, Ben, sometimes sometimes some of Gascon's comments

94
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: were a little assholary. That was from James. Kevin says,

95
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: when finding out about Gascon's return, that sucks. That was

96

00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,840

129
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: Richard says, uh, because I can't spe spelling. Some of

130
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: these are terrible. It's that like from guy from Arizona

131
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: that can't spell you have such a such a just taste.

132
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: Relieve he's like sixty years old. They can't spell cat. Yeah,

133
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: all right, well you're you're you're like fifty years old

134
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: and you can't show up to work everywhere you pick

135
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: and choose your battle. Yeah. Uh, he says. What do

136
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: you big Ben think about the college football playoff expanding

137
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: with Oklahoma and Texas coming to the SEC? I have

138
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: no issue with the college football is pretty much the

139
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: SEC and everyone else is like a backseat to the

140
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: Southeastern Conference Eastern Conference. So like this is the future

141
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: the future is going to be. They'll be like instead

142
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: of the big five power conferences, they'll be like the

143
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: Big three power conferences. You're gonna have like the Big ten,

144
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: the SEC, and then some hybrid pack twelve Big twelve

145
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: combo and then that'll be it. The landscape has changed

146
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: in college college football, so that's I'm fine with that.

147
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: And and they're not the last teams that are gonna

148
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: join the SEC. There. I wouldn't be stunned at off Clemson.

149
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: I know the rumors were Clemson in Florida State, some

150
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: other combination of Clemson somebody else joining the Southeastern Confers.

151
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: That's where the money is, that's where you want to be.

152
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: Those are the cool kids. Yeah, if you're if you're

153
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: on the wrong side of the tracks, you want to

154
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: live on that side of the track. So that's what's

155
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 1: gonna happen. But don't forget, with all due respects, since

156
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: you are a minor league baseball fan, you cannot discount

157
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:26,640

Speaker 1: two thumbs up to the MAC. But yeah, I mean

160
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,199

Speaker 1: SCC is the most dominant conference has been manufactured by ESPN.

162
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,520

Speaker 1: the SEC, whether it was Arkansas, it was l S

164
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: U and Auburn they got the better of and then

179
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: That was the craze. I was an Oklahoma Nebraska game

180
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: when that was still a big game. This was at

181
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: the end like Nebraska had just like somebody at quarterback. Now,

182
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: this is when Josh Hype was the quarterback in Oklahoma

183
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: and that that first Bob Stoop steam the championship in

184
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: two thousand yeah, and then they gets smashed by USC

185
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: I think in the Orange Bowl the next year. Yeah,

186
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: but they won that they won that first year and

187
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: everyone's going crazy as chasing White at quarterback. I think, Man,

188
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: how was that? Was it? Funny? Norman? That was awesome? Yeah,

189
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: it was a great environment. It was. It was cool,

190
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: like the Nebraska fans cruising down and all their RVs

191
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: and all that, and that was a that what's his name?

192
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: The elite Corso and those clowns where they were doing

193
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: their college pregame show. So it was quite quite the scene.

194
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: That was the food good. Uh yeah, I mean they

195
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: treated us very well. I I remember being at this

196
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: the Switzer Center there the the practice facility, and um,

197
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: they just rolled out the pr staff for Oklahoma, like

198
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: rolled out the red carpet. I was doing sidelines on

199
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: that game, and so they just whatever we needed. We

200
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: were hanging out. We had a meeting with Stoops raining too,

201
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: Barry Switzer who was there for some reason in the

202
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: hallway walking around and that was cool. What did you

203
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: do a day game or was it a night game?

204
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 1: For you? It was a day gay game, say on

205
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 1: syndicated radio. And you know it was a good time,

206
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: although my mike, my handheld mike stopped working a problem. Yeah,

207
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: And we went to the radio station. I had to

208
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: do do a like a half hour college football show,

209
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: so we went to the radio station to record it.

210
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: And the radio station it was like this small little

211
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: like uh, how would I describe it? It was like

212
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: a you know how you were in school and they'd

213
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: add extra classrooms in the back. It was like a

214
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: mobile home to thing. Yeah, it was like kind of

215
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, and then I'm behind it was the

216
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: actual transmitter. Yeah, and we we don't have that like

217
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 1: radio stations in in l A. And radio what I'm

218
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: used to is, you know, the transmitters somewhere else like

219
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: in l A. There on a hill Mount Wilson is

220
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: where the transmitters are they because they boomed down into

221
00:12:55,679 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 1: the valley, but that was it's flat there. So to

222
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: put them right behind the radio station and then you're

223
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 1: on your way. Uh So, all right, Greg, and Iowa's

224
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: is for gascon, gag on and gas can. How was

225
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: witness protection like? And how long until you return to

226
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: witness protection? Man? I was bored out of my mind.

227
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I had three auditions with some networks.

228
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: I booked a national commercial, which was awesome. Um, I

229
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: started taking some finance classes, so I was busy. Then

230
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: it wasn't bad at all. It was a vacation. You're

231
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: describing a vacation. I was bored. I like to be

232
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: out and about. I'm an extrovert. Is that is that true?

233
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 1: I'm an introvert, so I am the opposite of that?

234
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: All right? What is next year? On the mail back Kevin,

00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: is a travel log from Adrian in the Mile High City.

245
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: You've been away for a while, but Adrian took the

246
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: family to Disneyland and we were trying to get together

247
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: logistically it would not work. But he brought the kids

248
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: and the wife, everyone that came out to California from Denver,

249
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: and we're hanging out and he's giving the Disneyland l

250
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: a report card, and so let me get right to it,

251
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: he says. The first thing my wife and I noticed,

252
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: he said, it was all the trash scattered alongside of

253
00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: the highway, even the four oh five. Why so much garbage,

254
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: Adrian asked, aren't there highway clean up cruise that can

255
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: help contain some of that? That was his first question. Uh,

256
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: he says. On our first day we were there, we

257
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: drove from Anaheim to Hollywood to see the Walk of Fame,

258
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: and as we approached the l a Hollywood area, we

259
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: could not believe all the homeless tents set up on

260
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: the sides of the highway and the bridges. We thought

261
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: Denver was bad for homelessness. What a sad situation. He's

262
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: not kidding, he says. It was cool to see the

263
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,479
Speaker 1: Walk of Fame and Hollywood. Adrian says, but the Hollywood

264
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: Boulevard area is a ship hole. I thought I was

265
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: in San Francisco for a minute because of the real

266
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: piles of ship along the Walk of fame. Not sure

267
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: if they were piles of dogshit or human ship regardless

268
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,880

280
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: He says that the kids love Disneyland and the Mickey

281
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: Mouse pretzel. That's a solid move by the kids. The

282
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: Mickey Mouse pretzel one of the great items. It's over

283
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: priced like everything else at disney Land, but that's a solid,

284
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: solid pretzel with the Mickey Mouse ears on uh. And

293
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: We were discussing Disneyland prices. It was expensive, but worth it,

294
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: he said. For the kids, especially at their ages, it's

295

304
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,199

Speaker 1: The roller coaster style hills at the end were a

309
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: cool surprise. Kids loved it. Blah blah blah. Then he

315
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: breakfast spread with the pandemic going on. COVID. Yeah. Lastly,

316
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,160

325
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: it is I opening if you have not seen the

326
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: amount of just it looks like, um, like a third

327
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: world country in parts of l A right now, with

328
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: all the homeless people piled up on top of each

329
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: other on the side of the road there. It's craziness. Yeah,

330
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: it's brutal. It is as bad as I've ever seen it.

331
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 1: I've never seen it worse than this. It's embarrassing, it is,

332
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: and the political people don't do anything. They make laws

333
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: to make it easier to have more people coming. I

334
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: feel bad for the homeless, but unfortunately a lot of

335
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: the homeless, it seems, are okay being homeless. I don't

336
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: really mind it, you know, as it's frustrating, frustrating problem.

337
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,239
Speaker 1: I think if you're homeless, there are places you can

338
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: go to get help and get a place to stay,

339
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: get your your feet back underneath you. Yeah, they're homeless shelters. Yeah,

340
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 1: well not just that. I mean there's program from homeless,

341
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 1: but a lot of from what I understand, maybe I'm wrong,

342
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: but from what I've been told, a lot of the

343
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: people just like they don't want they don't want to

344
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: have a job, they don't want to have responsibility. I

345
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: don't want to have any report to anybody. They love

346
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: living on the streets. And there's also obviously the drug problem,

347
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: which is a big reason that that's the way it is. Yeah,

348
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: no family, no structure, also impacting uh Steve right, so,

349
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: and he says, what's the best advice you ever received

350
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: and who gave it to you? Hm, I don't know.

351
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: I mean my mom gave me a lot of wisdom

352
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: over the years, and my grandfather and my dad, everyone

353
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 1: in my village gave me something. I often bring up

354
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: the Code of the West, So I guess that that

355
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: would be something that is the most You did not

356
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,239
Speaker 1: learn the Code of the West, right, I guess when

357
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: you were a kid. You're not. That's not something that

358
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: I think learned. The best piece silence, best piece of

359
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: advice I ever got, well, and this in history, was

360
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: never say no to an opportunity. Um, you know I

361
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: I did hear a great quote by Steve Harvey wants.

362
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: He said, whatever someone thinks of you is none of

363
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: your business. Another one is, don't you don't have to

364
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 1: share your business with everybody? Yeah, if you share secrets,

365
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: they're no longer secrets. Yeahs I do try to tell him.

366
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: My wife loves to share every detail I try to

367
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: I have pointed out to her. I've been like, you know,

368
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: you don't really don't need to share everything. There's some

369
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: some things that are better left unsaid. She's the extrovert,

370
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: but he want talker. I'm like, I don't really, you know,

371
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: they don't need to know that, which is weird because

372
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: both of you talk for a living. But you're an introvert.

373
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: She's an extrovert. Well, no, because I don't like the

374
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: way I live my life. I don't need to get

375
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: into everyone's personal business. Everyone. Every family has got drama.

376
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: Everyone's got stuff. They're not happy about our stuff that's

377
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: awkward and things like that and my that stuff. You

378
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: can deal with it on your own. I can deal

379
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: with my stuff. And we don't need to you know,

380
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: change exchange dirty laundry. We don't. We don't have a

381
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: clothes line anymore. We have a dryer, clothes line clipper.

382
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: You know, I got you. Carlos in Bang Bang Houston, Texas,

383
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 1: says Man. I will be quitting the show to work

384
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: on my mental health. Maybe I'll get a documentary. Also,

385
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: how long will these athletes be using the mental health

386
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: card as an excuse. That's from Carlos Well. As long

387
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: as it'll work, it's the perfect, perfect get out of

388
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: I didn't play good jail card, I didn't perform well.

389
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: It's like this, of course, much like when everyone cries racism,

390
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: it ruins when there's actual racism. When people mental health

391
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: and there's not actual mental health, it's just you. You're

392
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: uncomfortable because you got booed. Then it's the same concept.

393
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: You've messed things though, Same with the me too movement. Yeah, yeah,

394
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: exactly uh same same Dar R R. Pierre in Springfield,

395
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: mass just down the street from the Pro Basketball Hall

396
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: of Fame or Muffett McGraw and the home of vaccine mandates.

397
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: This question may be irrelevant since you've already revealed that

398
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: Mr West of the four oh five is back from

399
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: time out, but here goes. I may have read in

400
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: the trade papers that Bella and Mrs Maller have been

401
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: tapped to replace the aforementioned Mr Gascon as executive producer

402
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: on Benny Versus the Penny for the upcoming NFL season. Ben,

403
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 1: would you or your sidekick care to confirm or deny?

404
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: And secondly, has Mr Gascon provided you with the negative

405
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: COVID test in order to return to the podcast. That's

406
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: from Pierre in Springfield. I found this out. Did you

407
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 1: know that if you test for COVID and you come

408
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: up positive, you could actually have it show up on

409
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: a test nine to ten weeks later. Yeah. So apparently

410
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: the dead microbes in your in your nasal cavity stay

411
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: there for a long period of time and you can't

412
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: even irrigate it out, so they just stay there until

413
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 1: they eventually fall out. But people can get retested and

414
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 1: retested and it can continue to show up positive even

415
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: though you have no symptoms, no signs, and don't even

416
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: have it. Yeah, we have we have seen that, right,

417
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: we have seen that with the uh John Rohm, Right, yeah, man,

418
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: There's been a few people that have tested positive like

419
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: a week after they were tested negative and in the Yeah,

420
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: so we've seen athletes do that also. It's crazy. Someone's

421
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: making a fortune, Ben, Uh, there's a lot of people

422
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: making a fortune. Who's paying for these tests? Who's the

423
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 1: government's paying? No? I was told that's free, Well, yeah, free.

424
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: I was told our vaccines are free. Well, someone's paying

425
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: for it. But during is getting what like fifteen dollars,

426
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: and I think Fiser's shot his nineteen fifty pop. Yeah,

427
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,119

00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: made to them to get cars repaired or stripped down.

458
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: Pool cleaning people people that would clean pools. Uh. Yeah.

459
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: I don't know about a bread man though it's a

460
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 1: milk man. Maybe the milkman okay, but a bread man

461
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: in his part of town I think probably got some

462
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: good juice. In what part? What are you talking about?

463
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: Like in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh and like those parts of Pennsylvania.

464
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: Why would that be just because the city is so

465
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: lively if there's always ship going on, a stuff happening, yeah,

466
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: good or bad? Yeah, it depends what part of town.

467
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: But bread Man, we will will put that on the

468
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: list of possibilities, possibilities to have the bread Man on.

469
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: He's all grown up now. I hung out with him,

470
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: Pete and Pittsburgh the dough Boy when I went to

471
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh years ago and we met at Primani Brothers, the

472
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: twenty four hour location in the Steel District, and it

473
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: was all I was like one in the morning. I

474
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 1: rolled in. I had driven from Philly and we drove across.

475
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: We got there much later than we thought. I didn't

476
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: realize how big it is in Pennsylvania, and uh drove

477
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: across the state and then we hung out a couple

478
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: of hours, spent a night in Pittsburgh and walked around

479
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: the ballparks there, the stadiums in downtown was beautiful, and

480
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: continued on up to Buffalo. So wonderful, wonderful trip back.

481
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 1: I think we stopped the reason that we were late.

482
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: We stopped in Gettysburg along the way, and that messed

483
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: us up. That's great, though. Did you do that during

484
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: the day or did you do that at night? It

485
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: was in the evening as the you know, just it

486
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: was like that twilight period. It was pretty cool. We

487
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: kind of latched on. There was a walking tour, and

488
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: we kind of overheard some of the they were saying

489
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: that they don't know exactly where President that Lincoln gave

490
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: the Gettysburg addressed, but they think it was here. And

491
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: then the bodies were down there, and then they were

492
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: like like describing what what was going on. So it's cool.

493
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: And the guy that was doing it looked like he

494
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: had fought in the Civil War. He was a very

495
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: old guy, and he just got like he thought maybe

496
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: there was some kind of time warp and he was

497
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: he was there and he actually had been there at

498
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: the Civil Wars. Kevin in Kansas says, welcome back, David.

499
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: Finally a positive message for you, Ben and David. As

500
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: I get ready to go back to school, what are

501
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: some of the back to school rituals you remember? Was

502
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: it buying school supplies, getting new shoes? I remember it

503
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: was always a big deal. Get a new backpack. That

504
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: was always every big, big deal. Picking out the right

505
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: backpack because as a kid, you throw your backpack around.

506
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: I would destroy my backpack, but that was always the

507
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: big thing. Remember the backpack. Going out to get pencils

508
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: and pens and erasers, notebooks for me. I remember the

509
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: lunch box too. That was when I was in elementary school,

510
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: those cool metal lunch boxes with the cartoon characters on them.

511
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: You gotta make sure you had a good haircut too.

512
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: You can't go day one with I didn't give a

513
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: shit a about that, but my mom, mom did. But

514
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: I didn't give a crap about the haircut at all. Uh,

515
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: new shoes. I just remember the backpack, the lunchbox, and

516
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: my mom making this is trying to make it a

517
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: big deal to get me excited to go back to school.

518
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: But it didn't really work. Remember that it was it

519
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: was didn't really get me excited. Queen rocks in right soon,

520

555
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: What could have been? Jennifer in Richmond, Virginia, she wrote

556
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: a note very nice. She was in l A last

557
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: week and she wanted to, you know, do a meet

558
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: and Greek couldn't do it. Wasn't here long enough. I

559
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: didn't get an email about this. Yeah, she had nothing,

560
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: nothing to do with you, nothing to do with you. Well,

561
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: you've been going out of sight, out of mind. And

562
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: she pointed out she came to l A for two

563
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: days that she's in lives in Virginia, Richardond, Virginia's a

564
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: long trip to come from Richmond, Virginia l A for

565
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: two days on the weekend. That's not normally a weekend trip. No, no, no, anyway,

566
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: she she put, this is a great story. So she uh,

567
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: she took the trip out because her her son had

568
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: the opportunity. Her son wants to work for it, wants

569
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: to be an animator and work for DreamWorks, and so

570
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: there was a an opportunity to to meet and network

571
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: with one of the big movie producers and some of

572
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: the writers and animators for DreamWorks, and so they flew

573
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: out and went to this thing and she took her

574
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: kid out to meet the people from DreamWorks and apparently

575
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: it went pretty well. And uh so this is this

576
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: was cool. That was very that was very nice. Man,

577
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: that's a kick. Ask mom, that's what I'm saying, right,

578
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: I mean, your kid wants to be working for DreamWorks

579
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: and you you fly three thousand miles or whatever it

580
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: is and just for a couple of days just to

581
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: get a little FaceTime. But apparently it worked. Like the person,

582
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: she said, was genuinely impressed and said that the kid

583
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: could have a future. That is sucking awesome. Yeah, because

584
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: I know a lot of these networks like CBS does it,

585
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: and I think NBC they offer mentorship programs. They are

586
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: not internships for students and just you know, obviously young individuals. Yeah,

587
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: that was that was pretty cool. So she says she

588
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: will be back. She was upset because we last weekend

589
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: the podcast was riveting. We did a bunch of favorite

590
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 1: restaurants in l like Tito's Tacos and the different places,

591
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: and unless she Jennifer was upset because by the time

592
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: she heard the podcast, she had had gone back to Richmond, Virginia.

593
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 1: But she will be back and she can eat it

594
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: all all those fine places and have a wonderful time.

595
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: The last one from Greg in West St. Paul, Minnesota,

596
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 1: nice and says Ben and David. I was watching a

597
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: baseball game and the batter's helmet had some black stuff

598
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: on it. It looked like black tar. What is it

599
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: and what's the purpose of it? That's from Greg. I

600
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: feel like this could have been a Google. This could

601
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,959
Speaker 1: have been a Google. You know what I'm saying. Yeah,

602
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: this didn't need to be sent, but I kind of answer.

603
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,479
Speaker 1: It's obviously who was the player that had the most

604
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: pine tar? Remember George Brett's the one that comes to

605
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: my mind. Oh now that was on the bat. But

606
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: the helmet, Manny Ramirez a Manny on the back just

607
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: taking b G O is he did he have a lot?

608
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: I think Justin Turner had a lot because he'd get

609
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,720
