The fast food chain is offering 70 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 4: free food all month long to squash the question who 71 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 4: actually eats at Arby's, According to a press. 72 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: Release, Now, the first question is are you going to 73 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: take them up on that?

Yeah, it's crazy, like to dominate. Imagine 86 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: how much chicken they got to sell.

They must make money 95 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: because people, they're franchises, right, Those ARBs are franchises, and 96 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: so you is a franchise owner. You have to put 97 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: a bunch of money out to get one of the franchises. 98 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: You're not in it to lose money. They must have 99 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: the data that they somehow make money. 100 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 4: Do you know how much I just looked it up. 101 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 4: Guess how much it costs to own an Arby's franchise? 102 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: Well, I know for McDonald's's, Like you got to have 103 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: either half a million or a million dollars SAR to 104 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: assume Arby's is somewhere in that neighborhood like half a money? 105 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 4: Oh ok, good, that was a good one. Yeah, anywhere 106 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 4: between six hundred and forty five thousand and two million, 107 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 4: four hundred and fifty thousand. 108 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 1: What and what kind of profit are you getting on that? 109 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: Like for an Arby's sandwich with the little cheese on top. 110 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: What are you getting for that of the curly fries? 111 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 4: This's got to be a front for a major drug operation. 112 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 4: And it says Arby's is franchised through the Arby's Restaurant 113 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 4: Group and has nearly four billion dollars in total revenue. 114 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 1: Wow, that's wild. I know the grocery store they have 115 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: in the frozen food section, they have the Rby's curly 116 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: fries that you can get if you want the the 117 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: Rby's experience at home, and they sell they sell a 118 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: fair amount of those. I wonder if they're just making 119 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: money off that.

Forty 178 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: percent of adult surveyed say they have gone at least 179 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: three days. 180 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 4: Without snorting cocaine. 181 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,079 Speaker 1: Snorting cocaine, well, come on, you're not in La Danny. 182 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: Yeah that you can't go more than twelve hours without that. 183 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: But they they say forty percent of adults surveyed said 184 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: they had gone at least three days without a face 185 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: to face conversation. Loser, but that. 186 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, your computer doesn't count. 187 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, zoom the doom, doom doom. 188 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 4: Apparently the screen I guess. 189 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 1: I guess that does not unfortunately does not count. But yeah, 190 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: I could get that. I go in now. So it's 191 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: like I have to see people and have face to face, brief, 192 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: face to face conversation. So on the weekends, I no, 193 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: I don't think I go. I don't think I go 194 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: a day without having a face to face conversation. I know, 195 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: by myself, maybe that would be the case, but that's 196 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: not the case, all right, A study says. A recent 197 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: study says a construct on a construction site. Women are 198 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: better at doing this than men. 199 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 4: Better at getting cat calls, You. 200 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: Better get me that good stuff and better at cat 201 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: calls getting oodled. No, that is incorrect hammering nails. They're 202 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: more accurate at hammering. 203 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 4: Neil want proof on this. 204 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,319 Speaker 1: Don't you just use a nail gun if you're out 205 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: there on the site, the job site, those giant nail guns. 206 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 4: There's probably some spaces where those nail guns don't fit. 207 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: H all right, let's see what else do we have 208 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: a page that? All Right, nearly half of American adults 209 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: over the age of fifty admit they do this at 210 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: least once a month over the age of fifty. Nearly 211 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: half of American adults over the age of fifty do 212 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: this at least once a month. 213 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 4: Uh, run over a cat. 214 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: Well, that's clearly more than that. No, the answer is 215 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: to play video games. Don't you think that numbers higher 216 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,599 Speaker 1: because everyone's got almost everyone's got smartphone. 217 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess it depends what you consider a video game. 218 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 4: Like you play scrabble? Does that count? 219 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: I think it does count. I do play a lot 220 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: of scrabble. I'm very good at scrabble. I'm very happy 221 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: I had a big scrabble win this week. Thanks for 222 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: bringing it up, Nanny. This guy I played a random 223 00:11:58,520 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: scrabble game. 224 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 4: We'll talk about our brackets from last week. 225 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what people want here. And so this guy, 226 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 1: he got a seventy eight on the first word. So 227 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: I'm down seventy eight to nothing before I make my 228 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 1: first move on scrabble, and I beat the guy by 229 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: one hundred. I beat the guy by I kicked his ass. Okay, 230 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: I dominated this schmuck who thought he was going to 231 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: win because he jumped out to a big seventy eight 232 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: to nothing lead. And I came back and I squished 233 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: the guy. I delivered the haymaker, is what I did 234 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: to that loser. How dare him think that he was 235 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: going to get on top of me? Not going to happen, 236 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: all right, I what's next on pop quiz, let's a 237 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: year I go page down here. Eighty percent of people 238 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: say it upsets them to hear this. 239 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 4: When you take a call from Marcel. 240 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Marcel in Brooklyn. Hello, Marcel, don't worry, 241 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: it's just pay the tot. 242 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 4: Who's the gambling guy? Poppy? 243 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, he hadn't called. He was banned for a week. 244 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: Stop calling again. 245 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 4: So I was gonna say when people hear Poppy's voice. 246 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, that that annoys people. I think we chased them away, 247 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: though again, who knows he might be back. But eighty 248 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: percent of people say it upsets them. Do hear their 249 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: own voice? Their own voice? So yeah, I'm in that category. 250 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 4: It's weird. It's like how actors are uncomfortable sometimes watching 251 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 4: their work back on the big screen. 252 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, and on Benny versus the Penny, it was a 253 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: little cringe worthy to watch that. Although the person I 254 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: forget the person's name that I did the show with, 255 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: they had no problem watching themselves on television. 256 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 4: Here's time looney. 257 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: It loved to watch themselves on television. They could not 258 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 1: wait to watch themselves on television. 259 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 4: Penny loved him some Penny. 260 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: On the other side, I was like, oh boy, I 261 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: look disgusting. Why would anyone watch it so bad? My god, 262 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: it's horrible. 263 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 4: That whole thing. 264 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: Though a little different perspective, a little different perspective, But 265 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: what happened? What else do we have? Let's see, over 266 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: fifty eight million Americans did this in twenty twenty two, 267 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: spending over fifty two billion in the process. Fifty eight 268 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: million Americans twenty twenty two spent over fifty two billion 269 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:25,359 Speaker 1: in the process. 270 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 4: This was when we were all ordering food. So I'm 271 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 4: gonna say used a like a door dash app door 272 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 4: dash app. 273 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: That is incorrect. This is we were the answer we 274 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: were looking for on pop quiz. Camping. We're looking at 275 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: camping was the answer, Danny, didn't you and the wife 276 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: you told the story you went? Not total camping was? 277 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: What was it called? Was the term? 278 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 4: It was fugasey camping. There was like, oh, lamping, lamping? 279 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: Clamping? 280 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 4: Was it? It's like half camping and half real roof 281 00:14:58,920 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 4: over your head. 282 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's like being a vegetarian and wanting to 283 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: eat meat. You know, if you want a camp don't 284 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: just go out there and camp. Although that place you 285 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: sent me the link, it did look pretty cool. 286 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,479 Speaker 4: That place was cool. It was in Avala Beach, California. 287 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: Will you be going back there? 288 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, we will head back there. It's on a hill 289 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 4: overlooking the ocean. It's pretty beautiful. 290 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: Love driving up the California coast beautiful. It's a there's 291 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: very few drives as cool as that up the coast. 292 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: All right, we'll do one more and then we'll get 293 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: to the mail bag. And over half of the sales 294 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: of this item are at a convenience store. Over half 295 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: the sales of this item are at a convenience store. 296 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: And the person most associated with this item back in 297 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: the day was a was a wrestler. 298 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 4: Snip into a slim gym. 299 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, look at you. You got that one right, Daddy. 300 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: I set you up for that one, but you got 301 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: it right. 302 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 4: Slim gym. Well, I was actually gonna guess that before 303 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 4: you said wrestler, because are you Yeah, because when I 304 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 4: think snack at the gas station, I always ask my 305 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 4: girl for a slim gym. 306 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: You want to step into a slim gym? 307 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 4: Yeah? 308 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: All right, Well that is the correct answer. So reminds 309 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: me of a guy I worked with. I've told the 310 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: story a few times over the years, but this guy Wei, 311 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: and when I was filling in doing for like two years, 312 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: I did some shows for EI in Boston and this 313 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: guy was a nighttime host, but he he had another job. 314 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: He was a candy salesman. He was a lollipop salesman. 315 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: And he talked to me one time off the air. 316 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: We were talking about how the lollipop business works and 317 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: that there's so much negotiation with these big stores like 318 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: Target and Walmart. On product placement because so many people 319 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: don't go to a store to buy a lollipop, but 320 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: when they're waiting online to check out and they see 321 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: a nice lollipop, they'll buy the lollipop. So it's a 322 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: huge thing for these lollipop companies to get product placement 323 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: right there where your checking out those last minute impulse purchases. 324 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 1: Maybe you can suck on it and that'll make it better. 325 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: That was I was clearly edited. I never never said 326 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: what is what you're playing here? I never said that, 327 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 1: let's get to the mail bag.

And when we have house guests, I 345 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: don't do it at all because I'll keep them up 346 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 1: all night. But we have a pretty good system. My 347 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: studio is away from most people. There's a guest room 348 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: that we have, like an extra bedroom that is right 349 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: next to the guest studio. So if we have a 350 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: guest staying at the house, I'm screwed. I'm porked, not 351 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 1: gonna work. But other than that, like everyone's far away 352 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: and they can my wife can sleep, and she's usually 353 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: the key is she goes to bed early enough where 354 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: my scream and howling Tommy do not wake her up 355 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 1: because she's already sleeping, and once you get to a 356 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: certain point in sleep, she's a pretty good sleeper. I'm 357 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: not a great sleeper, so it'd be more of a 358 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 1: problem for me. But thank you for asking, Tommy, and 359 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: thank you for listening to the podcast.

But the 382 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,719 Speaker 1: ten minute thing you can make some money at because 383 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: with in game betting, if you knew what's gonna happen 384 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: ten minutes from now, you could freaking kill it. And 385 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: think about just in the casino in general, playing roulette, 386 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: playing poker. Perhaps if you knew for the text next 387 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: ten minutes.

Uh, but if I think you start 397 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: reading people's minds, you're not gonna like what you're reading. 398 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Might go ahead, I'd go 399 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: to a very people. 400 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 4: To move things, though, Like, what are you gonna do 401 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 4: with that skill. 402 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: As a magician? Think if you were a magician, you 403 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: could actually Like magic's all fake, but if you could 404 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 1: actually move shit as a magician, Oh my god, you'd 405 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: be the biggest show in Vegas. You'd have a Broadway show. 406 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,919 Speaker 1: You'd be huge, You'd you'd be a superhero. If you 407 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: could move, actual move things, not not fake with strings 408 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 1: and smoking mirrors, but to actually move things would be like. 409 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 4: The Roy hobbes of magicians, though, suddenly show up with 410 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 4: his major skill, and everybody in the magician world would 411 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 4: be like, where the hell have you been your whole life? 412 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,719 Speaker 1: But the ability to read minds though, Danny Again, it's like, 413 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 1: you know you're gonna get a lot of stuff you 414 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: don't you don't want to know, although it could help 415 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: you in certain areas if you're you're unsure you're a relationship, 416 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 1: you're unsure if the other person kind of likes you 417 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: or not for real, you can kind of get that answer. 418 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,439 Speaker 1: But is that really worth that much? I don't know. 419 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: Maybe it is our last one from Will would you rather? 420 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 1: Will from Dallas says, would you rather give up air 421 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 1: conditioning and heating for the rest of your life or 422 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: give up the Internet for the rest. 423 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 4: Of your life? 424 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 1: That's a pretty good one, actually, So I feel like 425 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: the internet has all the answers and is also the 426 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 1: creation of all the problems. But it takes up so 427 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 1: much of our time, and it's almost impossible to do 428 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: what we do now without the internet. So I'd have 429 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 1: to give up my beloved air conditioning, and I would 430 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: have to give up my heating. I just have to 431 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: get fans that doesn't. That's not really air conditioning, right, 432 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: fans and air conditioning, it's a fan. 433 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 4: I am a monkey saying so I just. 434 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: Have to get some fans. 435 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 4: Well, when it's like one hundred and ten degrees in 436 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 4: southern California, all the fan does is blow the hot 437 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 4: air into your face. They're the vine. 438 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: This is true. But with the Internet I could find 439 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: a way to futs around with the fan. You know 440 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: they have those old. 441 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 4: Too, could hire topless maids to fan you. 442 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 1: Well, there's that, but you could also you have those 443 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: those like hokey fans, the original fans where they just 444 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: put like a block of ice behind the fan and 445 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 1: then the ice would melt and then the cold air 446 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 1: from the ice would lead, you know, cool you down. 447 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: That might be violating it. But would you give up 448 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 1: the Internet for air conditioning, Danny? I? 449 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think I could make it through a 450 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 4: Los Angeles summer without air conditioning. And how often you 451 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 4: and I both visit our suburb of La which is 452 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 4: Las Vegas. Gotta have it there, so I can't imagine 453 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 4: not having AC. 454 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 1: So you would give up the Internet? Danny G is 455 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: willing to say goodbye to the micro blogging world. Yeah, 456 00:23:55,119 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: good rentance Steve in southern California. Right, so says Hey, 457 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: I grew up watching the Dodgers in the nineties. I 458 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 1: was a huge Mike Piazza fan. Does he still have 459 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: a grudge with the team? Well, I'm Steve. I'm not 460 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 1: his mother or his father. I don't think you are 461 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: Danny either, So I'll tell you what I know. Piazza. 462 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: I was there. I was covering the team when he 463 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: was with the Dodgers, and he was the biggest stars 464 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: in Sandy Kofax. Everyone loved Mike Piazza. People find this 465 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: hard to believe, but he was a bigger deal than 466 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant. At one point, he was the rock star 467 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: of LA. 468 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 4: There was a mural of him on the side of 469 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 4: Dodger Stadium. 470 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, he was bigger than life. Piazza. And then they 471 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: traded him to the Marlins. Piazza thought he was going 472 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 1: to get a contract. He was convinced he was going 473 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: to spend his whole career with the Dodgers. He loved La, 474 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: lived in the South Bay. He enjoyed all of the 475 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: perks of LA you name it, all the debauchery you 476 00:24:59,040 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: can get into in Los Ange. 477 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 4: Angelas got several superstars from the Marlins, though. 478 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, wonderful Charles Johnson who never made an error 479 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 1: with the Marlins. And then we figured out the reason 480 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: he never made an arrow because the official scorer was 481 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: in the tank. He was catching in Miami anyway. So yeah, 482 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: Piazza got so upset that the Dodgers did not give 483 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: him a the contract that he thought he was going 484 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: to get and then be traded him did the unimaginable. 485 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: It was May fifteenth, nineteen ninety eight, I believe was 486 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: the day. It was sports radio night at Dodgers Stadium. 487 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: Was our radio station was doing a promotion giving away 488 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: these really cool radios. Never heard of them, imagine doing 489 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 1: that these days, but they did. And that was the 490 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 1: night the Dodgers were playing I believe Montreal, if I 491 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: remember correctly, Piazza showed up with a Pittsburgh Penguins jersey 492 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 1: and was traded. But the trade was held up because 493 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: Gary Sheffield had a no trade clause and demanded more money. 494 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: Otherwise he wasn't going to be part of the trade. 495 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,199 Speaker 1: Remember that Todd zeal was included in that. He went 496 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: to the Marlins that's right. Was Jim Eisenwright, Gary Sheffield, 497 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: Charles Johnson, and there was like some other like minor 498 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: league player or something like that. So scrubs, Yeah didn't. 499 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: We got Sheffield put up some good numbers, but they 500 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,199 Speaker 1: didn't never embraced the whole Dodger thing. It was just 501 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 1: a phago. Mond Kevin from the Bay rights and he says, guys, 502 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 1: with the A's leaving town soon, what are the chances 503 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: that Oakland ends up getting another big league team in 504 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: my lifetime? 505 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 4: Oh? 506 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: I don't know how. I don't know how old Kevin is. 507 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 1: How old are you planning on living, Kevin, It's gonna 508 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: be at least twenty five years, right, Danny, at least 509 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: twenty five years minimum. 510 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 4: Tucked about it on our podcast before. Crime and everything 511 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 4: else has gotten so bad there in that area that 512 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 4: people aren't trying to move in there. They're trying to 513 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 4: get out of that area. It needs a big time cleanup. 514 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, but that does change. I mean politics change. California 515 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 1: used to be conservative Ronald Rager. 516 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 4: Right, But Ben, I've been waiting two decades for somebody 517 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 4: to step in and help that city out. 518 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 1: No, I hear you, But it's not going to last forever. 519 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: I mean things, people of all people change. People get 520 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 1: tired of the bullshit, get tired of having to close 521 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: restaurants because of crime and all that, And at some 522 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 1: point there'll be a sea change, but it's going to 523 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 1: have to happen for a fair amount of time. But 524 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 1: then the other thing is, you just need somebody who's 525 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 1: really wealthy from Oakland that wants to bring back a 526 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: baseball team to that area. But then you also have 527 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: the Giants, who are a roebuck. You think the Giants 528 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: are going to want to allow another team to come 529 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 1: into their area, they can be like, no way, we're 530 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: not going to do that. We now own all of 531 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: northern California. 532 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 4: Well, maybe if Sacramento has a good run here with 533 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 4: the temporary A's, maybe potentially they can become a new 534 00:27:58,440 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 4: MLB city. 535 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I could see that. But you have the money people. 536 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: There's a lot of tech people with money, tons of it. 537 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: There's tons of rich people in northern California that could 538 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: any one of them could buy the A's fifteen times 539 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: over or buy a baseball team and put it in 540 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: that area. But as you said, Danny, with the crime 541 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,239 Speaker 1: and the you know the the It's like Sodom and 542 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: Gomara in parts of Oakland. Why would you put a 543 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: team there? It makes no sense. At this point, Mike 544 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: from Vegas resident says, this is for you. Danny said, 545 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 1: I heard your story last week about Murphy's Law. I 546 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 1: was wondering if you will count the bets that you 547 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 1: don't make as wins with Covino and Rich you go? 548 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: Are you now?

And he wants to know if you're 551 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: going to bet again going forward with those guests. 552 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 4: What do you think like if you stay out of 553 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 4: a bet that you wish you made. 554 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: Are you gonna You're gonna do it? You're gonna put 555 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: your money and I bet. 556 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 4: Yeah. I That's what it boils down to is when 557 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 4: I saw him in that four hundred and fifty dollars 558 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 4: in cold cast money in his hands, it ruined the 559 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 4: rest of that night.
