It's a mail bag kind of a day. 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.200 But we've got some pop goals the culture as well, 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:15.840 that we need to get to. There's a lot a 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:17.640 lot going on. There's a lot of moving parts to 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:19.760 the show, Danny, as you know, because you work on it, 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:21.840 you help put the show together. There's a lot going 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:22.640 on in the show. 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:24.600 Yeah, a lot of moving parts. 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:27.160 Takes a few hours to put it all together for 0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:30.480 your enjoyment. And I'm also looking forward to your favorite 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:34.440 team playing tonight because I've been waiting all week to 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:38.480 take part in pizza at Rich Davis's house for that game. 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:43.600 I haven't had really really good pizza in weeks and 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:47.680 weeks and weeks, I hope. And it's pretty much like 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.280 when you you've gone a long time without pie. 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:53.520 Oh no, for sure. Well, and that's in general with 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:57.080 anything though. Hunger is the greatest spice there is. Right, 0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:00.760 if you're hungry, you'll anything any thing. It'll taste good, 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:04.120 it is true. But is he you know what kind 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:05.120 of piece he's gonna have. 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:08.760 I'm gonna google and see if there's a round table 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.480 near him, and I'm gonna say, hey, no not, get 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:13.120 some round table, buddy. 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:16.440 Get a couple of pies and some garlic palmersan twists. 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:20.880 I would like those as well. But yeah, hunger is 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:23.520 is the best the spice or sauce or whatever. That 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:28.680 line goes back back in the day so why don't 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:30.679 we start with pop goes the culture. Let's just get 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.000 right to pop goes the culture. Here we go, let's 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:36.600 strike up our guy from Ohio. Here we go. Come on, OHIOO. 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:43.320 Let's do it, John. 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:53.400 John, So this one, I'm not sure this came up 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:57.279 on Covino and Rich. I love this story from the airlines. 0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:00.480 I don't fly that much. It's expensive to fly. I 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:02.480 don't have a job where they pay me to fly, 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:04.880 so I don't travel that much. Maybe a couple of 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:06.799 times a year. I'll go on a trip if I'm lucky, 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:10.360 sometimes once a year, sometimes no trips at all. So 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.200 we've all heard the term over the last few years. 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.360 If you're a Karen Right, that's bad. You do not 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.920 want to be a Karen Right. That's a derogatory term 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:22.639 to call someone a Karen Right. Busy body type thing, 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:26.880 you know, annoying all that well. In the airline industry, 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.639 it was revealed this week. Did you hear about this 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.239 dandy from the I saw this in the tabloids in London. 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:37.160 They said a flight attendant has shared the code word. 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:41.120 If you're flying and you hear someone on the flight 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:45.920 crew call you this, you're on the nautilust You know 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:47.600 what this is the term? Have you heard this term? 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:54.000 It's called a phillip. Who philip? If they say we've 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:58.120 got a fillip on aisle? You know seven seven B 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:00.880 is a fillip? That is a bad thing. Now what 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:02.680 the hell does it mean? I'll tell you. If you 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:07.400 are called a fillip, then you have done something to 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:11.600 upset the flight crew. They don't like you, right, and 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:15.360 you can expect them to treat you like shit the 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:17.479 rest of the flight. That you will have bad servant, 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.239 bad service to the rest of the flight. The name 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:28.080 originated from the term pilp pilp, passenger, I'd like to punch. 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.359 I was going to ask you if it meant something. 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:37.240 Yeah, no, it did, passenger I'd like to punch. But 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:40.159 over the years it has slightly changed to be a 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.839 little more subtle. So people don't know what are you 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:46.760 talking about? A phillip? I don't know. Uh. But if 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.919 you are called a fillip, or someone around you is 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:53.880 called a fillip, that is a sign that the people 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:57.600 that are serving you your little bag of peanuts and 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:01.280 your little cup of water would like to punch you 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:03.919 right in the nose. They would like to punch you 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.520 right in the nose. I'm gonna add that term, Danny 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.800 to my lexicon going forward. I like that, Philip. That's 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.640 that's almost as good as a jag, right, You're just 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.320 a jag, you know, just a guy. I like that 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.400 one I love in football and it's yeah. 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:19.560 How about when people say jag off. 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:21.960 Well, that's even better. You want to get in the 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:24.560 reason they say that, Danny, want to get into detail 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:30.280 on why you My right hand was getting a workout? 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.560 All right, what else do we how about this one? 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:34.000 You ever want to You ever thought about living on 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:36.360 a remote island? Danny, You and the missus and Koa 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.080 can go out to a remote island somewhere. 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:40.240 I would love to retire in Kawhi. 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:43.800 That's not that remble. But a remote island is looking 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:48.280 to pay two people to live there this summer, Danny, 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.039 that you can be paid to live on a remote island. 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:55.960 But of course, Danny, there's a catch. There is always 0:05:56.279 --> 0:06:01.640 a catch. You can live on a picture esque island 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:09.960 and endless ocean views, unbelievable scenery, just amazing. The catch, now, 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.719 you're not there to enjoy the water and the sun 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:19.320 and the tropical Life, The Island lifemd the Island Life. Yes, instead, 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:22.919 you will be working at a restaurant. You will be 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:29.560 hosting guests at cottages, they like remote holiday cottages. And 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:34.000 you do get paid, but it's like a hard labor job. 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.440 But it's a beautiful island. You can work at a 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.960 coffee shop there or whatnot, and I'll give you a salary. 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.640 It looks amazing. It's just there's hardly anyone there's like 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.599 it's an off the coast of Ireland. They remote island 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.800 off the coast of Ireland, and they're gonna pay two weeks. 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:51.279 That actually sounds like a nice plan. 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.920 B Yeah, well, if this radio thing doesn't work out 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.839 and it says you have to run a local coffee 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:01.600 shop and you have to kind of oversea, you're the 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:08.720 gatekeeper of the four holiday cottages. So that's that's it's 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:10.240 kind of cool. I mean, I don't know how much 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.560 it pays. But if you got nothing else going on, 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:16.120 you know how much trouble could four cottages cause you? 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:16.600 Right? 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:20.040 I mean probably not much, right, how much trouble? I 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:21.560 don't think they can cause that much trouble, But I 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:22.800 don't know I've ever done. 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:26.160 That unless a CDC was staying in the cottages. 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:32.160 Well, yeah, that would be a slight problems. Pop goes 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.880 the culture. Well, here's an odd story from the science community. 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:46.400 A Hubble telescope has discovered a strong radio transmission from 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:50.880 what is being called an ancient blob. Yeah, so the 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:56.160 oldest radio wave transmission ever recorded. So according to a 0:07:56.400 --> 0:08:02.640 Northwestern University Northwestern Universe, the story that I saw bouncing 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:09.640 around and highly unusual, highly unusual. It was actually first 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.960 discovered eighteen months ago, but we're just learning about it 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:17.320 right now. Scientists are very excited, as you might imagine, Wow, 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:22.040 wouldn't it be great, Danny if the first communication we 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:26.160 as mere mortals here in a little planet Earth that 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:29.760 we hear from another world is like some guy doing 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:33.800 a talk show in some far away landing, you know, 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:37.079 doing middays, and that's the first voice we hear from 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:39.800 another world. Wouldn'd be awesome. I think that'd be great. 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:43.440 Have big eyes. 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:48.000 That would be really cool, especially with all the UFO stories, 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:52.640 the alien stories we've been talking about lately, including that 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.560 footage from two thousand and eight. It looks like a 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.640 sperm UFO that's going in and out of the water. 0:08:58.720 --> 0:08:59.400 Did you see that? 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:01.599 I don't think I saw. It was this week. I 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:02.560 don't think I saw that one. 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:04.640 Yeah, yeah, it came that story came out a few 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:05.160 days ago. 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:07.800 No, I didn't. I don't think I saw. I usually 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:10.000 liked those stories. I remember the one a few months ago, 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:14.920 the Aliens in Mexico that worked the bodies, Remember they. 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:16.680 Oh yeah, people thought it was Kate. 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:25.160 Yeah. Uh, what was the take? I don't know if 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.200 this came up on Colvino Rush this week. The George 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:31.360 Carlin AI, the George Carlin AI that was bouncing around 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:35.320 the other day. His daughter was upset. There was a 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:38.800 comedy special that did an AI generated George Carlin. 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.320 Oh interesting, I didn't see that. Yeah. 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:45.480 Yeah, they did George Carlin's voice without his permission from 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:49.480 the family or the estate of George Carlin and his daughter, 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.440 you know, was upset and angry and all that. And 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.720 I heard it, and my first take was it I 0:09:56.760 --> 0:10:01.640 didn't think it was that good. And my second take was, 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:03.679 I didn't think it was that funny. I didn't see 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:07.120 it didn't sound like Carlin to me, and I didn't 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:10.440 think it was very funny. I'm a big Carlin guy. 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:13.559 I've told the story many times before that George Carlin 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.280 was a caller to talk radio in LA sports talk radio. 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:18.960 He used to call in as George from Venice. And 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:22.000 I love that because he's like the greatest comedian I 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:24.120 ever saw in my life. He's right up there with 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:27.320 Richard Pryor and Chris Rock and whoever you think the 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:31.480 greatest is, and he's in that group. And Carlin loves 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:35.280 sports and would listen at night, usually at night, not 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:37.520 during the day. At night he listened to sports radio 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:38.160 and call in. 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:40.320 And yeah, I want to hear you fill in on 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.680 Coast to Coast when George Nori is taking a break. Yeah, 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:45.520 it would be awesome. But by the way, you've got 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:50.040 to type this into your Google machine. It's CNN Business 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:54.520 and the title is Newly leaked video shows a UFO 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:58.320 disappear into the water. For Google, I just typed in 0:10:58.480 --> 0:10:59.800 UFO goes into. 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.480 Water, Okay, UFO in water. 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.960 Pentagon has confirmed these images of UFOs are part of 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:11.480 an ongoing investigation. UFO enthusiast Jeremy Corbel has released leaked 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:13.560 footage taken by a Navy ship. 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:18.800 Hmm interesting, Yeah, I've got it's black and white video. Yeah, 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:21.680 it's like a blob. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:23.760 But then the night vision comes on. 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:27.080 About twenty seconds in you'll see a clear shot of 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.400 the UFO when they put night vision on it. 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.840 Okay, I'm watching, yeah, oh kind of vantage. 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.840 It like disappears into the ocean and then it comes 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:37.360 speeding back out of the water. 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.640 What is what is that? 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:44.199 That's wow, that's a real UFO right there. 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:49.360 Yeah, that's pretty cool. Cool. Why do what they think 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:53.400 of us? Maybe there are overlords and we're just the 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:56.960 slaves to them. Maybe there are bosses which everything we 0:11:57.040 --> 0:12:02.000 do is for them from the other world? Do do do? 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:01.319 Do do? 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:04.720 Sounds like you're already filling in for George Norriy. 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.800 Yeah, I know, yeah, that's it's the weed. But what 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:11.320 about the possibility, Danny, You know, you look at these 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:14.120 aliens stories as UFO stories and all that. What if 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:17.800 there is a shadow world at the bottom of the ocean. 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:21.120 There's a portal like the transfer portal in college football, 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:24.360 but it's at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, and 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:28.000 that's where there's a whole different species that live in 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:30.600 the middle of the planet Earth, and they go through 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:34.640 the transfer portal. In the Pacific Ocean and they come 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:37.240 out to see there we are the slaves help here 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:41.920 on planet Earth, and they monitor what we do. Is 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:43.880 that coast to coast worthy? You think that takes worthy? 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:44.160 Yeah? 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.280 Yeah, that would make sense of why that's speeding out 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:47.480 of the water the way it is. 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:49.760 Yeah. 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:51.960 How great would it be if the aliens are actually 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:56.880 just supersized jellyfish? That just jellyfish on some kind of 0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:03.280 weird drug. I'm on drugs right now. Let's see what 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:06.280 else do we have? It is, uh, pop goes the culture. 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:08.200 There's a couple other stories that I did want to 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.880 get to. I don't want to screw this up here. 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:16.160 Let's see with that. I'll do a couple more. We 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:17.800 do have the mail bag, so we must get to 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:25.360 the mail bag momentarily by by demand. People demanding the mail. 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:28.680 Bag, especially if they missed ask Man on your live 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:29.760 show this past week. 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:31.800 I don't know what you're talking about. That's a totally 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:37.079 different situation. The mail bag original content. Nobody else has 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:42.640 anything close to the mail bag and at all at all. 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:44.480 You know, enough of pop goes to cold. I want 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:45.880 to just get to the mailbag because you know, you 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.760 kind of besmirched the mail bag. And because you besmirched 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:51.280 the mail bag, we're going to do an extended dance 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:55.520 remix of the mail bag. So again, ohio Al, we 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:58.839 go to you, our lonely hearts, strike up the band, 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:02.800 ohio Al, Here we go, Here we go, Here we go. 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:17.679 It's bag. 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:22.920 Adding some extra spice, maybe some Tarioki sauce. Danny, Well, 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:26.320 that's some Tarioki sauce, and we'll we'll roast the pig 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:29.480 that is the mail bag. These are actual questions by 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:32.280 actual listeners to the show. Don't forget before we get 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:36.880 into the mail bag, Backscratcher would. Really, we're not doing 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:39.960 that because we haven't gotten any reviews in a while. 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:42.560 But it does help us out. And if it's if 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:46.160 it's something you're interested in doing, helping the podcast and 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:49.040 the people in the corner office, the corporate muckety MUCKs 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:52.680 that monitor this podcast, they like the reviews of the podcast. 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:57.360 It's important to them and the viability of the podcast. Uh, 0:14:57.480 --> 0:14:59.960 help us out now. I said we got no reviews. 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:04.120 We actually did, though I lied. I'm a liar. I lied, Danny. 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:05.680 We did get a reviews. So before we get to 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:08.240 I know, we played the mailbag open, but what the hell, 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.920 it's a podcast the fluid situation. So we did get 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:14.480 one review. I didn't even notice this bad job by me. 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:17.520 And these are actual rus by actual listeners on the 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:20.320 Apple podcast page. I want to say hello to John 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:24.680 in Northern Colorado. John gives us not one, not two, 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:28.320 not three, not four, but five stars. Dan, we got 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:33.800 five stars from John. What man? That's good, he says, 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.920 never before in the course of human events has there 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:43.359 been such a confluence of sports and personal experience. It's sarcastic, sardonic, insightful, 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:47.720 and most of all entertaining. Ben and Danny are raconteurs, 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:52.800 are excellence. I can't wait for the next installment if 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.880 you want to crown him. That sounds like it was 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:58.240 written by somebody at Warner Brothers or you know, one 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:00.000 of the studios they're talking about a movie. 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:01.840 Yeah, that's great writing. 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:04.440 I saw like g I's a teacher. I think that's 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:06.960 a good job by him. Well, thank you, John, and 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.360 I did not even see that, And I'm glad I 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:11.720 looked because there it was. But here are the mailbag 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:15.800 questions for myself and Danny g This one comes from 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:19.440 Mike in Santan Francisco. He says, Hey, guys, hello from 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:22.280 the Bay. Ben. The other night, I heard you and 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:26.960 Iowa Sam got into a bit of a disagreement dust 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:30.440 up over the Iowa minute, and Mike says, were you 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:34.240 really upset that Sam played the bowl game clip of 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:38.920 the Hawkeyes or was that just a bit? So thank 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:42.120 you Mike for listening and reaching out. We do thank you. 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.480 First thing I would say is it was it was 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:49.360 a bit. But what did Freud say that there's a 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:53.080 little bit of truth in every joke, isn't Isn't that 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:53.720 his line? 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:54.560 Yep? 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:57.520 Yeah, yeah, So I love Iowa Sam, and I'm not 0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:59.080 saying anything bad about Iowa Sam. 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:02.080 That's not what you off the air I just said. 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:03.920 But which means everything I said before is a lie. No, 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:06.840 my point get to the point place. So my point 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.879 here Mike and I said this on the air is 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:12.919 like and Danny, I think we have the same mindset, like, 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:17.880 you know, the platform is what's going on right now, 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:19.960 and I love Ioa Sam and all that. But he 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:23.879 did play a SoundBite from a bowl game that had 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.399 been played two weeks earlier and kind of like giving 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:31.000 a recap of it. And my argument was, anybody that 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:35.360 cared about that already heard it. And I've always been 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:39.639 drilled by my bosses and radio that our platform is 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.640 all about now. It's about now and what's happening next. 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:44.720 It's not about what did happen, It's about now and 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:46.720 what's happening is So it's kind of been drilled into me. 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:51.200 So when I hear stuff that's old, it just crawls 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:57.160 up my skin. It's a natural animalistic reaction that I get, 0:17:57.400 --> 0:17:59.480 and it's a bad job by me, it's a flaw 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:04.959 by me. But we're in a battle in media, whatever 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:08.640 platform you're on, because people have access to so much stuff, 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:11.520 and a lot of it is just convenience. That people 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:13.520 are creatures of habit. They'll listen to what they like, 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:15.480 and they don't they don't want to spend too much 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:17.439 work digging around. But there are people. If you want 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:20.280 to find highlights of a ballgame, if you care about it, 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:23.840 you're gonna find it, right And it's like, yeah, it's 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.720 like giving the standings on a radio show. Well you 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:27.280 can get there. 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:31.360 And it's also why we don't DVR sporting events exactly. 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:35.520 We see all the clips on social media The only 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:37.399 thing I will say that's a little bit different is 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:41.720 like our audio drops and clips of great moments, things 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:45.159 that are gonna last forever, like great rants. It's a 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:48.399 complete crap things like that. 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:49.760 Yeah. 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:53.359 But yeah, it's just something that randomly happened a week ago, 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:56.800 and it's not even something that we played. Then why 0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:58.320 are we going to play it a week later? 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:02.359 Yeah? So that was my point to the to the 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:05.760 guy Mike here, and that's all I was getting at. 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:08.080 You know, is it a full dereliction of duties? No, 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:11.160 I just want everything to be good. I have high 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:14.040 standards and I put a lot of work into it, 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:16.840 and when I hear stuff that I think is not good, 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:20.080 I sometimes snap. So that was probably a more bad 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:21.840 job by me than it was Sam. But I just, 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:24.000 you know, I couldn't help myself. I was like, well, okay, 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:26.600 that's like two weeks old. We're moving on. Next question. 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:31.480 Steve in oceanside. Beautiful ocean side, beautiful ocean side, good 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:35.679 military town there, ocean side, he says, Ben and Danny, 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:38.479 oh this is he says, this is for you. 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:38.720 Ben. 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:41.399 What are you going to spend the thirty five thousand 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:44.800 dollars you got from being on Marcel's Internet show. Do 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.120 you have to report that to the irs? Danny? You're 0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:49.200 my account? Do I have to report that thirty five 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:51.440 thousand dollars I got? I should get paid thirty five 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:54.680 thousand dollars. But Guy, it turned into a religious revival 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:56.800 when I was on. As we talked about in the 0:19:56.960 --> 0:19:59.720 previous episode of the podcast, I think I should some 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:02.280 cop instation. Thank you Jesus. 0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:05.239 Until you get your bill and the mail from the 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:06.720 state in federal what. 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:10.440 I should do, Danny is send a message to Marcel 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:12.880 find his address to send him a legal letter saying 0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:15.720 I'm demanding thirty five thousand dollars and he would lose 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:22.200 his mind. Lose his mind. Very funny though, from Steve 0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:24.600 Jay and Nebraska Rights and he's next to the mailbag, 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:28.480 Jay says, Ben and Danny love the podcast. We have 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:32.280 more roundabouts in my state than any other state in 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:35.560 the US. How do you guys feel about driving in 0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:38.919 traffic circles? Is that true, by the way, Danny, that 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:41.240 Nebraska has more How would you how the hell would 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:41.439 you know? 0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:44.760 Yeah? 0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:49.120 We had a question about this though just a few 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:52.800 weekends ago. Remember I don't Yeah, and you said that 0:20:53.280 --> 0:20:56.600 you drove. I forget what state, but you oh. 0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:59.040 You know, I do you know Indianapolis? I think yes, 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:02.560 I thought Indianapolis had more. So I think you're full 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:06.080 of you know what, Jay, You're right, I think Indianapolis 0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:07.919 is the one because I remember there are tons of 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:13.080 traffic circles in Indianapolis. I'm not spend any time in Nebraska, 0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:15.200 so I don't I couldn't tell you about the roundabouts, 0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:18.240 but I guess we'll repeat my answer from before. I 0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:19.960 don't know what you're I don't remember you're answer to 0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:22.520 any But for us, living where we do, there's not 0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:24.400 a lot of roundabouts. So when you see a roundabout, 0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:26.159 it it's like kind of cool because it's not normal. 0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:28.720 Then I just typed it into the Google machine. 0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:33.639 Yeah, it says Nebraska technically has the most roundabouts per person, 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:36.120 while Oklahoma has the fewest. 0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:42.360 Oh interesting, Jay, that must be a civic pride thing 0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:48.800 for people in Neska. We don't have funny, we don't 0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:51.040 have the biggest buildings, we don't have the biggest corporation. 0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:54.440 But let me tell you something. You come see our roundabouts. 0:21:54.480 --> 0:21:59.159 We got the biggest roundabouts in the freaking country. That's funny, 0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:07.119 that's so good. Nick in Wisconsin rights in and I 0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:10.240 met Nick. Nick came over to the Malor Meat and 0:22:10.280 --> 0:22:13.399 Greet in Minneapolis. He says, Hey, guys, a quick question, 0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:16.800 what is your favorite food to eat as a leftover? 0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:21.879 I just had some leftover lasagna on this cold Sunday morning, 0:22:22.359 --> 0:22:27.760 he said, And he enjoyed that leftover lasagna. I'm not 0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:35.040 a leftovers guy. I do enjoy. I enjoy pizza, pizzas 0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:38.560 pretty much all I'll eat regularly that's left over. And 0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:43.520
