These things they're massive. 0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:18.520 Although we in we were in Kawaii at one of 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.520 the beaches on the southern part of Kawaii, and they 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:24.680 were like swimming in the waves. They were just like chilling, 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.600 hanging out a bunch of people on the water. They 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.079 didn't give a shit, you know, like whatever, doing my thing, 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:39.560 having a fine time on this pod. We've got We've 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:42.840 got the meats, little pop quiz, and the mail bag. 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:47.040 The mail bag. But Danny, it turns out a little 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:53.160 Birdie tells me that people that run a major fast 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.919 food operation are listening to this podcast, and they're listening 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.680 to what you have said for a couple of years 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.920 on this. Is that an accurate portrayal of what is 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:03.360 going on? 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.240 Danny? You know, Ben, we have more fun on this 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:10.360 podcast pointing out when we're wrong about things, but we 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:12.560 are actually ahead of the curve on one thing that 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:15.280 we speak about from time to time. This is from 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:20.160 KTLA five News, Los Angeles, and it's in quotations who 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:24.280 actually eats at Arby's? Who the fast food chain is 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.160 giving away free sandwiches in the month of April to 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:28.440 finally end the debate. 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:32.560 Wow, So they're even saying, like who's eating? 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:37.680 Yeah, actual restaurant is admitting that it's a drug front 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:40.800 and nobody eats there, says Arby's is giving away free 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:44.920 sandwiches throughout the month of April to challenge skeptics. Hey 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.960 that's me, that's right. The fast food chain is offering 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:51.320 free food all month long to squash the question who 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.480 actually eats at Arby's, According to a press. 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:58.520 Release, Now, the first question is are you going to 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:00.560 take them up on that? And is it a free 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.760 sandwich or do you have to buy something to get 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:05.200 the free sandwich. I'm guessing you have to buy something 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:06.680 or you have to download the app. 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:10.320 Yeah, ding ding ding the app, Yeah says it's through 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.800 the app. I'm definitely going to take them up on 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.000 this because I feel like I can leave with a 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:18.320 sandwich and some drugs. It. 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:22.160 Well, it depends what neighborhood you're in, but yeah, sure, sure, 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:25.000 why not? Speaking of fast food, did you see that 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:28.200 Chick fil A is now the third largest fast food 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:31.839 chain in America, which is fascinating because they're not even 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:37.040 open on Sunday. Yeah, it's crazy, like to dominate. Imagine 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.880 how much chicken they got to sell. They started at 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.880 a mall as a mall restaurant in the late nineteen 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:48.440 sixties and now they have over three thousand locations. But 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:52.840 they have surpassed like KFC. They're bigger than KFC, They're 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:57.320 bigger than Popeyes and whatnot. But they're the third largest 0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:00.400 fast food chain chickil a. Where's Arby's on that list, 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.920 by the way, they sell chicken? Where's Rby's on the list? 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:03.120 You know? 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:08.960 Page down, page down, page down. They must make money 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:13.240 because people, they're franchises, right, Those ARBs are franchises, and 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:17.719 so you is a franchise owner. You have to put 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:20.240 a bunch of money out to get one of the franchises. 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.520 You're not in it to lose money. They must have 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:24.520 the data that they somehow make money. 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:27.160 Do you know how much I just looked it up. 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:31.080 Guess how much it costs to own an Arby's franchise? 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.000 Well, I know for McDonald's's, Like you got to have 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:36.120 either half a million or a million dollars SAR to 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:39.680 assume Arby's is somewhere in that neighborhood like half a money? 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.680 Oh ok, good, that was a good one. Yeah, anywhere 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:47.000 between six hundred and forty five thousand and two million, 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:48.640 four hundred and fifty thousand. 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.599 What and what kind of profit are you getting on that? 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:57.080 Like for an Arby's sandwich with the little cheese on top. 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:58.960 What are you getting for that of the curly fries? 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.920 This's got to be a front for a major drug operation. 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:07.760 And it says Arby's is franchised through the Arby's Restaurant 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:12.120 Group and has nearly four billion dollars in total revenue. 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.919 Wow, that's wild. I know the grocery store they have 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.920 in the frozen food section, they have the Rby's curly 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:23.599 fries that you can get if you want the the 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:27.120 Rby's experience at home, and they sell they sell a 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:28.960 fair amount of those. I wonder if they're just making 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:32.520 money off that. They're like basically just selling frozen curly fries. 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:37.520 And that's it wrong. All right, we haven't done pop 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:39.279 the pop quiz in a long time. I think we 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:39.640 should do that. 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:39.840 Dan. 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:41.359 We're gonna put you on the spot here. Are you 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.240 ready for the pop quiz? Are you prepared for the 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:43.920 pop quiz? 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:46.080 I've never been more unprepared? 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:49.120 All right, perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect au Ry. These are 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:53.039 random questions we have found from the interweb, kind of 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:57.560 like you know, who knew or whatever, mind bending type questions. 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:01.320 So well, quiz Danny, and the way this works in theory, 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.720 we will run some of these past Danny, and then 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:06.640 you can play along as you listen to the pod 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.159 and see if you can do better than Danny. So 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:13.240 the average person will have nearly twenty five of these 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:19.440 in their lifetime, Danny, twenty five of these in their lifetime. Mistresses, mistresses, 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:25.480 All right, let's see page Dad. No, that's incorrect. The 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:29.240 correct answer, Danny is hets. 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:34.440 Oh yeah, if one dies and people get sad and 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:36.080 then the next week they replace them. 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.360 Let's do the math, though, that can't be dogs, right 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.960 because the average lifespan. Let's do some mather math here 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:44.640 on the podcast, they said there would. 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:47.880 Be you're right, that's gotta be a total of goldfish, 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:49.640 which we just previously mentioned. 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:52.920 A dog lives about let's say eleven years on average. 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:56.040 Maybe that's about right, so eleven, and then you do 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.200 that times twenty five. That would mean you would be 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:00.480 living the two hundred and seventy five years of age 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:01.920 to have twenty five dogs. 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:05.200 No, no, this is you're right. This has got to 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.720 be like hamsters and all the crap that kids ask. 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:12.840 For the goldfish and the counting that pick that fish. 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:17.160 Yeah, okay, a little lizard in a tank, all that stuff. 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.960 Yeah, all right, let's see what's next on pop quiz. 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:27.200 This household item first appeared in ancient Egypt and still 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:31.160 to this day is regularly seen in houses around the world. 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:35.280 And when it appeared in ancient Egypt, it was game changing. 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:40.600 It was, oh, that's easy. The vibrator, yes, they had 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:42.360 the it was the plug in one. They didn't have 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:44.839 the batteries back then. But no. The correct answer, Danny 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:49.800 is scissors. Oh, scissors. Imagine when scissors came around. Oh 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:53.079 my god, I can cut things. This is amazing. 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:58.760 Wow, it's the opposite of pleasure. This is what women 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:00.520 run and chase you with and they're mad. 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:05.600 Yeah, and the scissors thing, it's one of those deals. 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:09.360 It's like, was that like deadly forced with the scissors? 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.040 People trying to ban the scissors because you could die 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:12.720 from scissors. 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.800 You think that was going on back then? Were these 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.520 okay to take through TSA great. 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:21.559 Question like when you went on the ancient Egyptian wagon? 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:26.280 And was that a lot? I don't know. All right, 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:31.040 Forty of adult surveyed say they have gone at least 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:35.200 three days without doing this, at least three days without 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.760 doing this, And I bet you're tired than that. I 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.040 bet you're tireder than that. What do you think? Forty 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.680 percent of adult surveyed say they have gone at least 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:43.679 three days. 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:45.600 Without snorting cocaine. 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:48.079 Snorting cocaine, well, come on, you're not in La Danny. 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:51.320 Yeah that you can't go more than twelve hours without that. 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.160 But they they say forty percent of adults surveyed said 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.680 they had gone at least three days without a face 0:09:56.760 --> 0:10:01.000 to face conversation. Loser, but that. 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:03.920 Yeah, your computer doesn't count. 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:08.040 Well, I mean, zoom the doom, doom doom. 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:10.600 Apparently the screen I guess. 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:14.679 I guess that does not unfortunately does not count. But yeah, 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:18.440 I could get that. I go in now. So it's 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:21.280 like I have to see people and have face to face, brief, 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:26.280 face to face conversation. So on the weekends, I no, 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:27.920 I don't think I go. I don't think I go 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.440 a day without having a face to face conversation. I know, 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:34.280 by myself, maybe that would be the case, but that's 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:38.720 not the case, all right, A study says. A recent 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:41.640 study says a construct on a construction site. Women are 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:43.320 better at doing this than men. 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:46.800 Better at getting cat calls, You. 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.720 Better get me that good stuff and better at cat 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:57.440 calls getting oodled. No, that is incorrect hammering nails. They're 0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:59.160 more accurate at hammering. 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.040 Neil want proof on this. 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:03.319 Don't you just use a nail gun if you're out 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:06.520 there on the site, the job site, those giant nail guns. 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:10.800 There's probably some spaces where those nail guns don't fit. 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:14.640 H all right, let's see what else do we have 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:18.280 a page that? All Right, nearly half of American adults 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:21.160 over the age of fifty admit they do this at 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:25.240 least once a month over the age of fifty. Nearly 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:27.520 half of American adults over the age of fifty do 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:28.600 this at least once a month. 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:31.200 Uh, run over a cat. 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.760 Well, that's clearly more than that. No, the answer is 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:40.600 to play video games. Don't you think that numbers higher 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.599 because everyone's got almost everyone's got smartphone. 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:47.160 Yeah, I guess it depends what you consider a video game. 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.800 Like you play scrabble? Does that count? 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:52.000 I think it does count. I do play a lot 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.240 of scrabble. I'm very good at scrabble. I'm very happy 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:55.800 I had a big scrabble win this week. Thanks for 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.480 bringing it up, Nanny. This guy I played a random 0:11:58.520 --> 0:11:59.240 scrabble game. 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:01.960 We'll talk about our brackets from last week. 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:04.199 Yeah, that's what people want here. And so this guy, 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:08.080 he got a seventy eight on the first word. So 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.640 I'm down seventy eight to nothing before I make my 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.199 first move on scrabble, and I beat the guy by 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:16.080 one hundred. I beat the guy by I kicked his ass. Okay, 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:19.240 I dominated this schmuck who thought he was going to 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.160 win because he jumped out to a big seventy eight 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.480 to nothing lead. And I came back and I squished 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.720 the guy. I delivered the haymaker, is what I did 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.800 to that loser. How dare him think that he was 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:32.000 going to get on top of me? Not going to happen, 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.480 all right, I what's next on pop quiz, let's a 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:39.040 year I go page down here. Eighty percent of people 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.080 say it upsets them to hear this. 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:45.240 When you take a call from Marcel. 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:50.920 Oh my gosh, Marcel in Brooklyn. Hello, Marcel, don't worry, 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.040 it's just pay the tot. 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.080 Who's the gambling guy? Poppy? 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:00.280 Yeah, he hadn't called. He was banned for a week. 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:01.679 Stop calling again. 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:05.079 So I was gonna say when people hear Poppy's voice. 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.160 Yeah, that that annoys people. I think we chased them away, 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:09.800 though again, who knows he might be back. But eighty 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:13.600 percent of people say it upsets them. Do hear their 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:21.240 own voice? Their own voice? So yeah, I'm in that category. 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:25.920 It's weird. It's like how actors are uncomfortable sometimes watching 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:27.800 their work back on the big screen. 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:30.920 Yeah, and on Benny versus the Penny, it was a 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.280 little cringe worthy to watch that. Although the person I 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:35.600 forget the person's name that I did the show with, 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.800 they had no problem watching themselves on television. 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:39.920 Here's time looney. 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:44.480 It loved to watch themselves on television. They could not 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:46.679 wait to watch themselves on television. 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:49.120 Penny loved him some Penny. 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.160 On the other side, I was like, oh boy, I 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:57.280 look disgusting. Why would anyone watch it so bad? My god, 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:58.600 it's horrible. 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:00.559 That whole thing. 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:04.760 Though a little different perspective, a little different perspective, But 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:10.040 what happened? What else do we have? Let's see, over 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:13.640 fifty eight million Americans did this in twenty twenty two, 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:19.200 spending over fifty two billion in the process. Fifty eight 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:24.280 million Americans twenty twenty two spent over fifty two billion 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:25.359 in the process. 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:29.160 This was when we were all ordering food. So I'm 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:33.160 gonna say used a like a door dash app door 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:33.800 dash app. 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:38.480 That is incorrect. This is we were the answer we 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:42.080 were looking for on pop quiz. Camping. We're looking at 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:45.520 camping was the answer, Danny, didn't you and the wife 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:48.600 you told the story you went? Not total camping was? 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:50.000 What was it called? Was the term? 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:54.320 It was fugasey camping. There was like, oh, lamping, lamping? 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:55.040 Clamping? 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:58.880 Was it? It's like half camping and half real roof 0:14:58.920 --> 0:14:59.600 over your head. 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:04.920 Yeah, but it's like being a vegetarian and wanting to 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.160 eat meat. You know, if you want a camp don't 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.720 just go out there and camp. Although that place you 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:11.360 sent me the link, it did look pretty cool. 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:14.479 That place was cool. It was in Avala Beach, California. 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:15.920 Will you be going back there? 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:19.000 Yeah, we will head back there. It's on a hill 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.280 overlooking the ocean. It's pretty beautiful. 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:25.880 Love driving up the California coast beautiful. It's a there's 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.680 very few drives as cool as that up the coast. 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:31.480 All right, we'll do one more and then we'll get 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:35.400 to the mail bag. And over half of the sales 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:39.480 of this item are at a convenience store. Over half 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.200 the sales of this item are at a convenience store. 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:46.320 And the person most associated with this item back in 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:48.000 the day was a was a wrestler. 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:50.160 Snip into a slim gym. 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:52.840 Yeah, look at you. You got that one right, Daddy. 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:54.440 I set you up for that one, but you got 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:54.680 it right. 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.560 Slim gym. Well, I was actually gonna guess that before 0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:00.600 you said wrestler, because are you Yeah, because when I 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.880 think snack at the gas station, I always ask my 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:05.280 girl for a slim gym. 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:07.520 You want to step into a slim gym? 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:08.560 Yeah? 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:12.280 All right, Well that is the correct answer. So reminds 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:14.360 me of a guy I worked with. I've told the 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:17.280 story a few times over the years, but this guy Wei, 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.440 and when I was filling in doing for like two years, 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:22.360 I did some shows for EI in Boston and this 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:25.520 guy was a nighttime host, but he he had another job. 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:28.960 He was a candy salesman. He was a lollipop salesman. 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:32.240 And he talked to me one time off the air. 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:35.800 We were talking about how the lollipop business works and 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:39.720 that there's so much negotiation with these big stores like 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:45.680 Target and Walmart. On product placement because so many people 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:48.680 don't go to a store to buy a lollipop, but 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:52.320 when they're waiting online to check out and they see 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:55.560 a nice lollipop, they'll buy the lollipop. So it's a 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:58.600 huge thing for these lollipop companies to get product placement 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:02.160 right there where your checking out those last minute impulse purchases. 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:04.879 Maybe you can suck on it and that'll make it better. 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:09.520 That was I was clearly edited. I never never said 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.240 what is what you're playing here? I never said that, 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:18.640 let's get to the mail bag. Ready for the mailberg it's. 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:25.880 Bag? 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:36.880 All right, thank you, Ohio. Our first one from Tommy 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:41.920 in Cincinnati says Hey, Ben, Bennie the Brazen and Danny 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:44.400 G a longtime listener here, a huge fan. 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:44.920 Ben. 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:47.320 I listened to the podcast working the dreaded day shift. 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:51.400 It is convenience. I can hit the volume quick when 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:54.719 you scream and yell, which is quite often. What do 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:58.280 I do, Tommy? Number one? Like that? 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:00.800 Turn that down for the listeners? 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:04.640 All right? Tommy from since he says, my question when 0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:07.160 you are on the mic from the north Woods says, 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:11.280 your lovely wife ever complain about your volume as she 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:16.440 is trying to sleep. Keep up the amazing work. Well, 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:19.680 thank you, Tommy. So yeah, I don't do the show 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:22.239 from the home studio as often as I used to. 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:26.119 Don't do that. And when we have house guests, I 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.600 don't do it at all because I'll keep them up 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:31.440 all night. But we have a pretty good system. My 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:38.200 studio is away from most people. There's a guest room 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:41.480 that we have, like an extra bedroom that is right 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:43.280 next to the guest studio. So if we have a 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:47.520 guest staying at the house, I'm screwed. I'm porked, not 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:51.640 gonna work. But other than that, like everyone's far away 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:56.119 and they can my wife can sleep, and she's usually 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:59.000 the key is she goes to bed early enough where 0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:03.080 my scream and howling Tommy do not wake her up 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:05.919 because she's already sleeping, and once you get to a 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:08.760 certain point in sleep, she's a pretty good sleeper. I'm 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:10.320 not a great sleeper, so it'd be more of a 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.680 problem for me. But thank you for asking, Tommy, and 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:15.720 thank you for listening to the podcast. And go have 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:19.080 some skyline Chile with Andy Furman and Justin in Cincinnati 0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:22.320 and just Josh if he's still around. He didn't really 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:26.879 listen live anymore? All right, Ah, let's see would you rather? Will? 0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:30.480 From Dallas rights? And he's yet he's got three he 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:34.159 says his shikola here is would you rather questions? I 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:37.080 think he stole that from Nick and Wisconsin, so I 0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:38.040 don't think that's original. 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:38.280 Will. 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:42.320 Are you ready for would you rather questions? From Will? 0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:43.040 In Dallas? 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:43.399 Danny? 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:46.439 Let's do it all right? Would you rather have the 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:50.640 ability to see ten minutes into the future or one 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:52.960 hundred and fifty years into the future? 0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:56.520 Well, ten minutes, because what the hell good is one 0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:58.199 hundred and fifty years is going to do for us? 0:19:58.240 --> 0:19:59.560 We're dead, exactly? 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:02.440 You could one hundred and fifty years you could help out. 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.200 You could help some people out in your family by 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:08.040 investing in certain products, and the family would make a 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:10.080 lot of money and maybe you'll be a hero, assuming 0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:12.080 they don't sell the stock when you're dead. But the 0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:14.719 ten minute thing you can make some money at because 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:19.119 with in game betting, if you knew what's gonna happen 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:22.879 ten minutes from now, you could freaking kill it. And 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:26.840 think about just in the casino in general, playing roulette, 0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:31.520 playing poker. Perhaps if you knew for the text next 0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:34.080 ten minutes. How the dice we're going to roll in craps? 0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:37.880 Are you me on live radio shows? You could ruin 0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:39.200 everybody's punchlines? 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:41.920 Oh well, well that's what Eddie does that anyway, he 0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:45.200 does not need me. How about shut up? What else 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:47.280 do we have? Well will from Dallas, he says, would 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:50.679 you rather have telekinesis? That's the ability of Danny to 0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:54.560 move things with your mind, or the ability to read minds, 0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:58.600 to have the ability to readmind so to move things 0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:02.880 or read mine. Uh, but if I think you start 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:05.000 reading people's minds, you're not gonna like what you're reading. 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:07.399 You know what I'm saying? Might go ahead, I'd go 0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:08.680 to a very people. 0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:11.159 To move things, though, Like, what are you gonna do 0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:12.600
