I remember 25 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: the the jingle. We need to bring jingles back, Danny. 26 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,559 Speaker 1: I want to bring jingles back. Jingles are so effective 27 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: in advertising. We've got to bring the jingle back. I 28 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: need the jingle. I want the jingle. We'll get to 29 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: the mailbag. I did want to mention the I saw 30 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: this the other day. I was gonna mention this yesterday, 31 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: and we ran out of time, so we'll do it. 32 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: Do it today real quick. It blew me away, and 33 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: it probably shouldn't have blown me away. But I was 34 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: reading something about in one of the business one of 35 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: the business websites. I was reading this thing about athletes 36 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: and how they make money off the field, and then 37 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: I saw this thing about Olympic athletes, and I was like, well, 38 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: how do you really make money as an Olympic athlete? 39 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: Because the Olympics only happened once every few years, and 40 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 1: if you're famous for like a few months, you know 41 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: what I mean. You know, you're not famous for that 42 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: long usually unless you're like Jesse Owens or something like that. Right, 43 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: And he made his money in that story. He was 44 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: on Sportico he made his money in the laundry business. 45 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: He had a dry cleaning company in Cleveland. 46 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 3: Oh, I thought you meant he laundered money. 47 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: Well, but I would have been more successful. And then 48 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 1: then on his day he turned you know, obviously he 49 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 1: got a study paycheck, but he actually ended up filing 50 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: for bankruptcy in nineteen thirty nine. He'd opened the laundromat, 51 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: apparently nobody wanted to use it, and then he ended 52 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: up filing for vacracy. But if you look over the years, 53 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: Olympic athletes have been able to make a lot of 54 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: money and record to this what I read as I remember, 55 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: the way they are able to make money is corporate speaking. 56 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: That's where they make most of their money. Olympic athletes, 57 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: the way they make money and maintain money is the 58 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: corporate speaking circuit. And they went into all these details 59 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: about major companies like Coca Cola, Google, Apple that regularly 60 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: bring in famous people to motivate do motivational speaking for 61 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: their employees, and they were like explaining how Olympic athletes 62 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: it's a natural because of Instagram and social media, people 63 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: want to take photos with the gold medal. So if 64 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: you got a gold medal. You're in right, and the 65 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: yeah they they said that the speaking engagements these Olympic 66 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: athletes get range anywhere from teen hundred dollars to twenty thirty, 67 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: forty fifty, sixty, seventy and beyond for a single speaking engagement. Damn, 68 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: there's a whole How do we get in on this, dandy? 69 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: I could do a motivational speech if you want, I 70 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: could pretend I could do motivational speaking. I got to 71 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: get in on that. We got to figure out how 72 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: to do that, a motivational speaking. And there's companies that 73 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: all they do you don't really know who they are, 74 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: but all they do is they provide these major Fortune 75 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: five hundred companies and even smaller companies like you know 76 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: the the Nights of Columbus Chapter or whoever, you know, 77 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: the Grand Poohba Lodge, they provide speakers. So I thought 78 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: that was interesting. 79 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 3: And there's a friend of mine who he lives in 80 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 3: Colorado and he speaks around the country. He makes a 81 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 3: pretty good living. I should hook him up with you 82 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 3: and you could pick his brain. 83 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: That'd be awesome. Yeah, I would. I would love to 84 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: do that. Not too often, I remember Terry Bradshaw when 85 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: I when I worked with him years ago, Terry would 86 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: do that. He'd miss the radio show and I'd be like, 87 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: what are you doing, dude, And he said, well, I 88 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: got a corporate gig in Dallas. I got to do 89 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: it because I am in any He would mention Pat O'Brien, 90 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: I think POB when he worked at our place. You know, 91 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: Pat had the great thing about Pat. He's been on 92 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: this podcast. No filter Pat, no filter, Pob. He would 93 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 1: tell you everything. He'd tell you what he was doing. 94 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: He would tell you how much he's making you know, 95 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: which is which is great? I love I love Patt O'Brian. 96 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: Whish you get him on again. Sometimes get him on 97 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: the podcast.

Alf frights in on the mail bag from 199 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: the Witness Protection Program.

Yeah? So, Alf, 202 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: there is something in the works. The wheels are turning. 203 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: Nothing has been confirmed, but I have been contacted by 204 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: some people that are like, they're big fans of the 205 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: show and what we do here, and they're where they 206 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 1: want me to come to their city and hang out 207 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: and schmooze and possibly go to an NFL game. It 208 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: is an NFL city. The problem I have and I'm 209 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: trying to work out the logistics on this is I 210 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: hate to miss time during the football season, Danny, as 211 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 1: you know, and I've looked at the flights for the 212 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks and there is no scenario where 213 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: I can attend said NFL game in this city and 214 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 1: make it back in time for the show. And logistically, 215 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: I don't believe I'll be able to do the show 216 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: from that city. So I have to decide. Am I 217 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: willing to take a night off during the football season 218 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: in order to facilitate the meet and greet? But the 219 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: wheels are in motion, oulf, and I'm hoping this will happen. 220 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: I do not have it confirmed, so I'm not going 221 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 1: to announce anything until till it's confirmed. 222 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 3: No days after in the NFL season. My man, I know. 223 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: I really don't want to take any time off, but 224 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: at the same time, I want to do this because 225 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: it'd be a lot of fun. It's a place that 226 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: I would like to hang out at, and it's a 227 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 1: game I would like to go to. So like, those 228 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 1: are all cool things, those are all things that I want. 229 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: So I'll let you know it would not happen for 230 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: another What are we in September. It'd be at least 231 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: a couple of months before it happened, So I'm sure 232 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: Alfie'll fly out from from Massachusetts, right, you know? All Right? 233 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,559 Speaker 1: Mike in Fullerton writes, and he says, hey, Ben and 234 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: Danny G. How did you guys deal with the recent 235 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: triple digit heat wave in SoCal? Did you crank the 236 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: AC blast the fans float around the pool or what 237 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: I did? Cool off under one of the many trees 238 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: in downtown Fullerton? Wow, He also says, our friend Mike 239 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: and Fullerton. He says, I have to give props to 240 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: Danny G's new coach, Antonio Pierce. That decision to punt 241 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: on fourth and one in the fourth quarter was a 242 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: real thing of beauty. As a Charger fan, I hope 243 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: Pierce coaches the Raiders for a long time. And that 244 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: was Yeah. 245 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 3: Normally I like Antonio Pierce, but I had shades of 246 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 3: Brandon Staley on that and some other decisions. I was like, 247 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 3: are we the ones that have Staley now? And they 248 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 3: suddenly have Harbaugh? 249 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was frustrating. I upsold the Raiders on the 250 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: TV show, and in a very bizarre way, I actually 251 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: thought the Raiders in many ways outplayed the Chargers. 252 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 3: I agree with you. It was a strange game because 253 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 3: in the first half, all right, they're just feeling out 254 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 3: their new quarterback, Minshew, and everything will be okay because 255 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 3: the defense is good. But that defense was out on 256 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 3: the field for so long. Chargers started getting those chunk 257 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 3: plays in the fourth quarter and that's what won the 258 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 3: game for them. And of course the turnovers from the 259 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 3: Raiders is what killed them. Uncharacteristically, they had penalties and 260 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 3: the couple of turnovers best in the NFL, and both 261 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 3: those categories tied for best in the NFL last season. 262 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, today the Raiders have the Ravens and everyone's like, well, 263 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: if the JK. Dobbins ran for one hundred and thirty 264 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: five yards and Lamar Jackson's gonna have two hundred and 265 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: fifty yards in that game, I'm like, it's not. It's 266 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: exactly how it works now. 267 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 3: Dobbins runs harder than Henry does. Henry's one of those 268 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 3: guys where he's like two hundred and fifty pounds and 269 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 3: he runs like he's two hundred pounds. Dobbin's like a 270 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 3: buck eighty five and runs like he's two fifty. 271 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: Well, he had that sixty plus yard run whatever it 272 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: was in the in the game. 273 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, man, that that second half just unraveled. But I 274 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 3: want to be aggressive. Come on, man, you're in their territory. 275 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 3: It's a one score game. Nobody had ever done a 276 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 3: move like that since I think I read the Bills 277 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 3: in twenty sixteen. You gotta be aggressive and go for it. 278 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Don't coach safe coaches. The coach safe end 279 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: up getting fired anyway. And like there's a balance to it. 280 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: I get it. And the thing about this too, with 281 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: the Raiders, you're projected to be one of the worst 282 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: teams in the NFL. If you're aggressive and you get it, okay, 283 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: you win the game, right, You have a chance to 284 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: win the game if you If you don't get it 285 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: and you lose, well you're gonna lose anyway. 286 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 3: Thank you. Your mentality needs to be we have nothing 287 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 3: to lose. Let's prove everybody wrong. 288 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: And all these schmucks ripping my guy Gardner, minshew, all right, minshew, 289 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: he he af fed up with the fumble. But and 290 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: people are like, well, he didn't throw the ball down 291 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: field enough. Well, the Chargers have a pretty good defense too, 292 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: and You're not gonna get much better production out of 293 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew than you got, so you can't. You gotta 294 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: run the ball if you you can't expect Gardner Minshew. 295 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: He had I think like two hundred fifty yards. He 296 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: should have had a couple of touchdowns. He only had one, 297 00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: but he was efficient and he's averaged. That's an average 298 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: other than the fumble, and that's a big that's a 299 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: big cluster, right, I mean, that's a big no. 300 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,640 Speaker 3: Zamir White kept running into his blockers. The O line 301 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 3: weren't exactly opening up big holes for him. Getsy was 302 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 3: running some really vanilla plays there. You got to get 303 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 3: a lot of motion going and that O line needs 304 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 3: to bruise. And they do get that. Powers Johnson dude 305 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,959 Speaker 3: back for week two. So you're right, if they can 306 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 3: get a run game going against the Ravens, that defense 307 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 3: is good enough to win any game. 308 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: Well, the biggest underdog on the board today. And then 309 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: if you watch the TV show, I did take the 310 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: Raiders plus the points, but I actually I'm not just 311 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 1: doing that because I said before the year the Raiders 312 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: are gonna be good. Lamar Jackson has he's had his issue. 313 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: I don't want get too sporty here on the on 314 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 1: the podcast, but Lamar's had his issues as a favorite 315 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: covering the spread, he's played down to the competition. Now 316 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 1: he does play up to the competition too, but he's 317 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,040 Speaker 1: often played down to it where the Ravens have. I 318 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: had some issues at home, So we'll see what happens today, 319 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 1: and thank you Mike for getting us down that rabbit hole. 320 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: Barry from South Carolina. Yo, Yo, Ma, Benny, my guy Berry, 321 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,239 Speaker 1: who I met at the Charleston meet and greet, used 322 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: to live in Nashville and he was in beautiful Charleston 323 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 1: in South Carolina. He says, during Dick and Dayton's many 324 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 1: phone calls, in veritably brings up some local radio names. 325 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: He wants to know, how many of these guys do 326 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 1: you actually know? My guess is when you say sure, sure, 327 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 1: that means you have no idea who he is talking about. 328 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 1: Yeah so so Berry, Yeah, yeah, you've met me, you know, 329 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: you know, when you know, you know the real ones know, 330 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: and you know, Barry, Dick and Dayton just starts spewing 331 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: all these random names, and I have no idea that is, 332 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: I know, I don't know. There's a fume that I 333 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,160 Speaker 1: do know only because they've come through LA and I've 334 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 1: talked to like Joe Tait, who I don't think is 335 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: around anymore, the Calves broadcaster, I know him, the guy 336 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: that does the Cleveland Indians like. I know the names, 337 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: like some of them i've met, but a lot of 338 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 1: the local talk shows I have no idea there. But 339 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 1: the great thing about Dick and Dayton is he does 340 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: actually drop my name on other shows also, which I 341 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: find hilarious. He's like, oh, I was talking to Ben 342 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: and Eddie. You know I've heard him. I was driving 343 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: through god years ago. I told the story a few times, 344 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: but this goes back long long time. It's probably I 345 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: don't even know the year, but it was in the odts. 346 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 1: I'm driving from Pittsburgh, No, I wasting from Philadelphia Pittsburgh. 347 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: So I'm driving through the middle of Pennsylvania. Beautiful country 348 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: there in Pennsylvania, a lot of trees. I was driving 349 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: at night, so I didn't see much. But I'm scanning 350 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 1: the radio dial like a total nerd, just a radio 351 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 1: nerd man old school scan into the dial, and we 352 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: got some station out of Cincinnati that came in and 353 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: it was like a if I remember correctly, it was 354 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 1: like a coaches show, and Dick and Dayton calls into 355 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: the show and he does the same shtick he does 356 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: with me, and I was loving it. Is like the 357 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 1: greatest thing in the world was it was awesome. It 358 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: was awesome and I and the great thing about his 359 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: cause is he does not watch any of these games. Well, 360 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: he listens to some of them on the radio, but 361 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: he really doesn't retain anything, which is which is wonderful. Anyway, 362 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: thank you Berry. Next on the mailbag, we have Cincinnati 363 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 1: Tommy on the mail bag. He says, hey, Ben and 364 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: Danny g a bucket of Skyline Chili from the Queen City. 365 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: He says, Ben, I'm not trying to be mean. Just 366 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: a question. When you start out by saying I'm not 367 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 1: trying to do something, what does that mean, Danny humph. 368 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: It means you're trying to do it. It means you're 369 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: trying to do it, is what it means, right, exactly, 370 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: That's what it means. So anyway, well, I'm not trying 371 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: to be mean. Blah blah blah blah blah, and uh yeah, anyway, 372 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: he says, why would Fox Sports Radio hire a technical producer, 373 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: he says, a technical producer who knows zero about sports. 374 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: It would be like a podcast about Calculus hiring you 375 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: as a color man. I'll see, that's a cheap shot. 376 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: That is a cheap shot. That is a low blow 377 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: by you. How dare you? Lorena's job, Tommy Cincy, Tommy, 378 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: Lorena's job is to hit the buttons and make sure 379 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: that we get all the commercials in and add a 380 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: little cotton candy to the show. And she's very good 381 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 1: at her job. And trust me, many of the people 382 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: that work behind the scenes do not have the sports gene. 383 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: They're not like big time sports people, but they're good 384 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 1: at their jobs. 385 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's kind of like Alex, who has filled in 386 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 3: on this podcast. He's been on with the Odd Couple 387 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 3: for six years and he doesn't know a lick about sports. 388 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, Alex is the same way. It's like one of 389 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: those guys he couldn't tell you if the football's puffed 390 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: or stuffed. He doesn't know, and he doesn't care, right, 391 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: He's like, hey, you know, I'm here, I got a 392 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: job to do, and that's it. And then every once 393 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 1: in a while, when you take a weekend off, Danny 394 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: Alex comes in here and all hell breaks loose, right, 395 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 1: you know, It's just he's talking about all kinds of craziness, 396 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,679 Speaker 1: you name it, where all its like doing Coast to 397 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: Coast on the weekends on the pod. But now Loraine 398 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: does a good job, and I think it's kind of 399 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 1: funny that she's on there and she's she's trying to 400 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: become sporty Lorena. But to be a sports fan you 401 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: got to remember a lot of stupid bull crap, likes 402 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: of coaches and star players and things like that, and 403 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: so she's got a lot lot going on. 404 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, and when she did her picks against Poppy. 405 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: Never heard of them. Yes, Poppy who? Actually I give 406 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: Poppy credit because last time we tried to do that, 407 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: Danny he attempted to do his own show where he 408 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: spent thirty minutes talking about each game, and I was like, 409 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: oh my god, yeah. 410 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 3: I heard about that. But the condensed version sounded really 411 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 3: good this past Friday. 412 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: I agree. I think that bit will work as long 413 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: as we can keep Poppy in line and not have 414 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 1: him go off the rails. Lorena is fine with it, 415 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: so we'll see how that goes. Kevin and Kansas is 416 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: near Ben and Danny G I recently helped someone get 417 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: their first car. Guy got a twenty twenty three Dodge Charger. 418 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: Oh that's cool, your first car is only a year old. Anyway, 419 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 1: My first car was a seventy seven Caprice Classic. And 420 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: then we get this question off and we don't answer it. All. 421 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 1: We haven't answered this in a long time, so I 422 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 1: guess we'll go quickly. Can you tell us about your 423 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: first car? Danny, do you remember your first car? 424 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 3: I do remember my first car. It was a Mitsubishi 425 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 3: piece of shit. The model was like a boy. I 426 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 3: can't even remember then because it was like off the radar, 427 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,120 Speaker 3: you know, like one of those mitsubishies where you see 428 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 3: it and you're like, I never even heard of that car. 429 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: It sucked. 430 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 3: Color was silver, but it was beat up. It was 431 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 3: pretty bad. But I did spend money as a kid 432 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 3: to put a nice stereo system in it. Of course, 433 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 3: I swear to God that stereo system was worth way 434 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 3: more than the car. 435 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, I had my first car. I was 436 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: a car they don't make anymore. A here's this is 437 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: kind of weird, Kevin. I also had a ninth I 438 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: think it was a nineteen seventy seven. I believe seventy seven. 439 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,679 Speaker 1: As I remember, my grandpa Jack, Jack maller Man was 440 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 1: from Chicago. He ran a garment business in downtown LA. 441 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: And when I was a kid, my dad's dad and 442 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 1: Grandpa Jack, we'd go over to his house and he 443 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: had it at his place. Here there's like golf hole 444 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: thing in his backyard, so we pretend like we were golfers. 445 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: And then we'd go down to his factory. And this 446 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: is back before all the I'm so old, before they 447 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: moved everything to China and they made the clothes there 448 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: and we'd run around this massive warehouse in downtown. It 449 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 1: was awesome, great memories. And then it's just like out 450 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 1: of a movie. He had this corner office that was upstairs, 451 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: like above the factory, you know, call it. They used 452 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: toy called the carpet, and it would be the boss's 453 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: office because that was the only part of the place 454 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 1: they had covering. And that was my grandpa's business there. 455 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 1: But I got his old car, which was a light 456 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 1: brown two door nineteen seventy seven Plymouth Valari a V 457 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: L A R E. You can look it up, and 458 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,479 Speaker 1: I love that car. It smelled like my grand parents. 459 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 1: I didn't care. I just loved it. It was great, 460 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: it was wonderful. So that was that was. 461 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 3: So from that to now a Lamborghini pulling into your 462 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 3: parking space at NBC. 463 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got to decide do I do I do 464 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: the Lambeau, Do I do the Beamer? Do I go 465 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: with the Tesla? You know, it's the cyber truck. There's 466 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:24,640 Speaker 1: a lot of decisions. I have so many cars. I'm 467 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 1: like Jay Leno. There's so many cars out there. It's 468 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: very difficult. All right, last one. We'll get out on this. 469 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: On the mailbag, Fred from Spring Texas right since, says, Hey, guys, 470 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 1: when I was a kid, I came up with the 471 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: names I would use if I went into professions like 472 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: show business or if I was working undercover as a spy. 473 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 1: Did either of you ever think of alternative names you 474 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: might use in the future.

The 483 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:17,360 Speaker 1: fake name I used was Ben Waller. That's because back 484 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 1: in the day, the La Times used to have a 485 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: radio TV critic and everyone read The Times, and the 486 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: guy wrote this review of saying I was a rising 487 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 1: star and then misspelled my name, so he called me 488 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: Ben Waller and so on the air, I called myself 489 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: Ben Waller when I did I had to do updates 490 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: on the show, so I said, I'm Ben Waller.
