102
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: in Phoenix. On the mail bag, he says, Ben and Danny,

103
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: do you guys see the story this week that Chipotle

104
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: customers are filming the food being made. Yes, they think

105
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: they can get didn't you you sent me the story?

106
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 2: Did?

107
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 3: Yes? I did. We didn't do.

108
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: Foody fun this weekend. But Mike said, the people have

109
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: been filming their food being prepared, trying to get more

110
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: bigger portions of.

111
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 3: Food because the influencers have been going in and filming

112
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 3: their bulls or burritos being made, and whenever the employees

113
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 3: are on camera, they stack they pile the ingredients high.

114
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 3: So now random people are going in pretending like they're

115
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 3: filming or just filming for fun to put pressure on

116
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 3: the Chipotle employees. Yeah.

117
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: So Mike's question is Ben and Dandy, do you think

118
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: this actually works? Is I you want to go first?

119
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: I go for it. I think yes, yes, yes, it

120
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: does work. I do watch those foodie things on Instagram.

121
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 4: M hm.

122
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: The only things on Instagram are food bloggers, travel bloggers,

123
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: and women shoving their ass in the camera. That's about it, right,

124
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: Is there anything else on Instagram? And I don't have

125
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: a problem with any of those, and some I like

126
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: more than others. But anyway, yeah, I totally when I

127
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: see food of bloggers, and it's not just Chipotle. There's

128
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: a guy that I follow and he goes to order

129
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: pastrami at the hat and they pile like two pounds

130
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: of pastrami on this guy's sandwich because he's recording it exactly.

131
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 3: There's evidence and they don't want to look chinzy in

132
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 3: front of the camera. Yeah.

133
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: And there's a thing that I've talked about a few

134
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: times every year is called the hawthorn effect. Are you

135
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: familiar with the hawthorn effect? No, it's this goes way back.

136
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: There was a study done with factory workers about productivity.

137
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: And they determined that productivity increased when people were being recorded,

138
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: when they were being observed, that it manifested. You know,

139
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: people were motivated to uh to actually work, and when

140
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: they weren't being recorded, they didn't work as hard. It

141
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: was a behavioral study and all that they called the

142
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: Hawthorn effect, where people they know they're being recorded, they're

143
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: they're going to clean up their acts. They're going to

144
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: present a better, better, better effort whatever. You're not going

145
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: to steal as much. People gonna act nicer.

146
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 3: But my question, Ben really quick, the employee, your last

147
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 3: name's not Chipotle, You're not mister or missus Chipoltle. So

148
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 3: why are you being such a tight ass, a tightwad

149
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,559
Speaker 3: with the servings until you get on camera. Why can't

150
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 3: you hook people up with their money's worth so that

151
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 3: they'll come back to your restaurant again and again.

152
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: No, I agree with you, and I have not. I

153
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: don't know if I should admit this, but I have

154
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: stopped going to restaurants. When I go in there and

155
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: it's a restaurant where you can see them preparing your food,

156
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: it's like and there's like a scoop of rice, and

157
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,120

Speaker 1: Cola road befoort for the Oakland Athletics in my early

235
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,239
Speaker 1: days in radio, and when the A's would come to Anaheim.

236
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,319

238
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,400

239
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: out in the broadcast booth with the A's broadcasters, and

240
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: they were not great at that time. It was kind

241
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: of in between. Remember they had the eighties early nineties,

242
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: they had some really good teams and then there was

243
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: like a dark period in the mid nineties where they

244
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: weren't very good. And that was kind of the period

245
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: where I was around the A's a little bit, but

246
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: Bill King was the play by play and Ken Korak

00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: I mean they're actually they were supposed to suck.

312
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 3: What else do you think they see on this text line? Though?

313
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 3: After your show, Andrea, make it stop fifteen minutes? What's

314
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 3: going on?

315
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: That's only justin in Cincinnati. But but yeah, no, so

316
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: it's it's I've told Eddie. I get the sense, though,

317
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: when I complain to Eddie about something, I think he

318
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: believes that I'm just kidding around. I don't think he

319
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: thinks I'm being serious. That's probably a me problem, not

320
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: a him problem. I just have over the years. My

321
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: sarcasm is so powerful that Eddie he doesn't believe anything

322
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: I say. But the Royals are right there. I mean

323
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: there are a few games behind the Cleveland Guardians if

324
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: you look at your American League standings, and the Royals

325
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: are a wild card team.

326
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 3: All right, I have an assignment. I have an assignment

327
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 3: for your Big Bob starting tonight, going into the Monday

328
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 3: Morning show. After Eddie does his update and leaves the

329
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 3: Royals out, I want you to jump on and before

330
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 3: you say thanks, Eddie, I want you to give the

331
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 3: Royals score yourself every time. It's a great idea.

332
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: That is a brilliant idea. And then I will increase

333
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: my market share in Kansas City, which is the home

334
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: of the Ben Mallor chicken figure.

335
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 3: Exactly, Hello, Kansas City, you owe that city?

336
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: Exactly? That's my town, all right? At the landing in

337
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: Kansas City in Liberty, Missouri, Greater Kansas City area, just

338
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: down the road from the Royals play and the Chiefs

339
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: play that great sports complex. But in Liberty, Missouri, at

340
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: the Landing they have the Mallard chicken fingers on the menu.

341
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna start doing that. I'm gonna start,

342
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: in fact, i'll start tonight. It'll be my fun fact.

343
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: Can I do a bottom of the hour fun fact?

344
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: That my fun fact will.

345
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 3: Be the Royal Square. The text line is gonna be like,

346
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 3: did you hear him giving the fun.

347
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: It's a great idea, all right, Mike In the hometown

348
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: of Kobe's favorite Mexican restaurant, Fullerton, right sin, he says, Hello, bandon, Danny.

349
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: When you buy a dozen donuts, Mike Rights, how do

350
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: you fill out your order? I tend to go with

351
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: some glazed and chocolate East Donuts. A few Long John's,

352
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: several cake donuts, one or two twists, and then I

353
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: finish it off with a couple of cinnamon rolls. That

354
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: says Mike, Well, this was actually the great debate cinnamon roll.

355
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: This is the great debate that we had during the

356
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: week because I pointed out, yeah, I merely pointed out,

357
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: I'm right that the cinnamon roll is a donut. Every

358
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: time I've gotten a Sina roll, it's at a donut okay,

359
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 1: And so no it's not, you know yet again pushing back.

360
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 3: So this is the perfect time to ask this. Then

361
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 3: Alf the alien o Piner sent me a direct message

362
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 3: and said Ben might interpret my question differently than you

363
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 3: for the mail bag, So I want you to ask

364
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 3: this question unbiased. Is a cinnamon roll a donut? Yeah?

365
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: Well yes, the answer is yes, it's you buy it

366
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: at a donut shop.

367
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 3: But it's a roll though.

368
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: It's a donut roll, is what it is. It's a

369
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,959
Speaker 1: cinnamon donut roll, That's what it is.

370
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 3: But like the cinnamon roll place that I go to

371
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 3: in Pismo Beach, which, man, if you ever get to

372
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 3: go to Piss Beach, California, oh man, you've been.

373
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: There before, right, I have been there. I love having yea.

374
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 3: So they have this cinnamon donut place, as you would

375
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 3: call it, but it doesn't say donut. It says cinnamon's.

376
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: That's their problem, not a meat problem.

377
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 3: Down the street there's a donut shop and it says donuts.

378
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 3: Here it says cinnamon rolls.

379
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 2: Pillowy, soft, buttery, melt in your mouth, wonders.

380
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: I will settle this once and for all. Okay, I

381
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,719
Speaker 1: will settle this once and for all. I had a

382
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,479
Speaker 1: conversation with a cinnamon roll before I ate it. I

383
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: had a conversation the cinnamon roll informed me it identifies

384
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: as a donut. It's that's what it's used to. It

385
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:46,479
Speaker 1: uses the donut bathroom. So the cinnamon roll is a donut. Okay,

386
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 1: it is a donut. In fact, I have this. How

387
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: about Berry in South Carol. I met Berry Yo Yo

388
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: Ma Benny previously in Nashville. He says, okay uh. He says,

389
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: if these other guys say it has to be a hole,

390
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: have a hole to be a donut, how can they

391
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: explain the parlor donuts? He says, this is a donut

392
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: place with many locations, and most of the donuts they

393
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: sell don't have a hole. And these donuts are amazing,

394
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 1: but they call them donuts. And these are just a

395
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: few of the awesome donut flavors. He said, a picture

396
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: here of the different flavored don't wait exactly and very

397
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: air high five to my guy Barry. All right, my guy,

398
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: because you also he showed me a photo from food Line,

399
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: which is a big grocery store chain in the South,

400
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: bigger than Pigley Wiggly in the Carolinas, and they sell

401
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: in their baked goods. They have food Lion Bakery. Cinnamon

402
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: rolled donuts is what they have.

403
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 3: Aha, I just found this online. The cinnamon roll is

404
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 3: a variation of a donut. So that's not a donut,

405
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 3: it's a variation of one.

406
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: Well, it's got donut DNA h. And that's good enough

407
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: for me. That that is more than good enough for me.

408
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. Outstanding, out f and standing, okay.

409
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 1: And I don't care what Google says. Okay, I don't

410
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: need Google.

411
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 3: You care about every other thing it says.

412
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: Well, I am selective. I pick and choose what I

413
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: choose to believe. And I'm on the right side of history.

414
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: And I'll enjoy my cinnamon rolls. And you, you evil people.

415
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: Next time you eat a cinnamon roll, you're gonna get

416
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: heartburned because of the evil anti cinnamon role position that

417
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: you have taken. Okay, I stand, I stand with the

418
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: cinnamon roll.

419
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 3: But thank you, Bill, you just called it a role.

420
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: Anyway, al Fright's in the aforementioned nowf he says, from

421
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: the death dedication mail bag with Snuggles, the dog that

422
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: is still that is so so wonderful. Snuggle is also

423
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: the mascot for a certain cleaning product.

424
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 4: But he was a little dog named Snuggles. But he

425
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 4: was most certainly a prior. That's gonna start again him

426
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 4: coming out of the record. See when you come out

427
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,479
Speaker 4: of those up tempo numbers, man, it's impossible to make

428
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 4: those transitions.

429
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 3: And then you got to.

430
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 4: Go into somebody dying. Okay, I want a concerted effort

431
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 4: to come out of a record that isn't a tempo record.

432
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 4: Every time I do a death dedication.

433
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: So good casey casem sick and tired of doing having

434
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: an upbeat song, and I gotta do a death dedication

435
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: upbeat record. Oh yeah, so so wonderful. Anyway, Alpha says,

436
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: have either of you ever requested a song on the radio. Also,

437
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: have you ever taped music off the radio? He says, yes,

438
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: I am that old. No, I never. I never did that.

439
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: I did call I was a kid caller to radio.

440
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: I used to call radio shows when as a kid,

441
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: I did get tapes of people. My friends would record

442
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,239
Speaker 1: music they wanted me to hear because they thought it

443
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: was really cool. But I never did the actual record.

444
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: I did record the Jim Healy Show, which was a

445
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: huge fan of when I was a kid, on cassette

446
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: tape because that's all we had before podcasting, so I had.

447
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 1: I did that, but that that was about it. Did

448
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: you ever call up a radio station, Danny, before you

449
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: started radio when you were about nine?

450
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I called my coworkers. They're like, you little shit kid,

451
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 3: it's bad enough you're already in our studios here as

452
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 3: a I don't know. I guess I was in junior

453
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,719
Speaker 3: high school at the time. But we did it in

454
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 3: elementary school, my older brother and I. We would tape

455
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 3: radio segments every day, songs every day, and what you

456
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 3: would look for is the moment they would play your

457
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 3: favorite song at the time without talking over the intro.

458
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 3: That was how you got a copy of the song

459
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 3: without paying for it, or before it maybe it was

460
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 3: not even available yet at the warehouse Music or wherever

461
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 3: Sam Goodies, wherever you bought your music from. So yeah,

462
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 3: we would record play and record the buttons down at

463
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 3: the same time every single day on our boombox. It

464
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 3: was majestic, and then calling in. I remember one time

465
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 3: calling one six km el in the Bay Area asking

466
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 3: for Skilo I Wish and the DJ said, man, I

467
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 3: like your voice, I like your vibe. I'm gonna put

468
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 3: you on the radio. And he hangs up and I'm like,

469
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 3: am I gonna be on the radio next? And sure

470
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 3: enough he played our phone conversation back and it was

471
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 3: the overnight guy Ben So I was on there are

472
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 3: sixty thousand watts of power, like at one in the morning.

473
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 3: And I remember bragging to everyone the next day, like, yeah,

474
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 3: I was on camel last night, come.

475
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: On awesome, right it was. I used to call up

476
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,239
Speaker 1: so many radios. I called the show in Vegas. I've

477
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: told this story a few times over the years, but

478
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: I was a regular on this this radio show in

479
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: Vegas that was on overnight, and I knew I wasn't

480
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: very good as a caller, like I just knew it.

481
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 1: You know, I was a kid and I'm talking to

482
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: grown ups here, and this one show would keep me

483
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: on the air for a very long time.

484
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 3: You're like the kid caller we used to have call

485
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 3: in on the Ben Mallard Show.

486
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: Antonio, you're talking about it, yes, yeah, and TONI is

487
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: probably in college now. But anyway, geez, time does fly,

488
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: my god. Nonetheless, So I used to call up and

489
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: then one time I was like, I mean, you guys

490
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: are so cool. I mean, I really think I know

491
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: you got other callers and you put me on.

492
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:24,360
Speaker 3: No, we don't.

493
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: You're the only You're the only call we have. That's

494
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: pretty much why why they kept me on the air,

495
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: because they had no one else. Yeah, it happens, Kwang,

496
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: he says in Vietnam. In Vietnam writes, and he says, hey,

497
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny, Daddy g He says, Daddy, I tend

498
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 1: to favor blue bottle caps subconsciously when purchasing water. What

499
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: is your all favorite? And then he says, and I

500
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: didn't know this. The different colors of water bottle caps

501
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: often indicate different types of water. Did you know that?

502
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 3: Danny had no idea?

503
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: I had no idea either what is your favorite type

504
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: of cap of a water bottle or favorite color?

505
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 3: Well, smart water is my favorite water to drink. I've

506
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 3: never paid attention to the bottle cap color though. Well.

507
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: According to Kwang, who says he's in Vietnam, he says

508
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: white or clear caps usually used for regular or purified

509
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: drinking water. If it has a blue cap, that often

510
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: is used for spring or mineral water. A green cap

511
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: often indicates that the water is flavored or infused with

512
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: natural flavors like lime, cucumber, or mint. I don't know

513
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: that's true, though. Isn't aquafina green? And that's not They

514
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 1: don't have lime.

515
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 3: The actual water is green. The cap I'm like, is

516
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 3: green inside? Is it?

517
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: Maybe it's the sign? Maybe maybe that's cheap one. Yeah,

518
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: but they don't. It's not flavored with lime. Quang says

519
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: red in most cases. In some cases, rather red caps

520
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: signify sparkling or carbonated water, and black occasionally used for

521
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: alkaline or premium water products. Racist A couple of thoughts. A.

522
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 1: This is really cool. B. I don't know if this

523
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: is true or not. Maybe you made it up. I

524
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: don't know it's I want to believe it so there's that.

525
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: And see, much like you, Danny, I've never paid that

526
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: close attention. I usually get Kirkling brand water bottles, which

527
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: are just clear or white, so I guess that's just

528
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: regular purified drinking water, nothing special.

529
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 3: Regular old white.

530
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: I just go to South Carolina, all right, anyway's Reggie writes.

531
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: In next she says, hey Ben and Danny, hey Ben,

532
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: I loved your monologue about Jorye Lopez mound meltdown with

533
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: the Mets this week. If either of you guys won

534
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: the lottery, would you storm off the radio in dramatic

535
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: fashion A Laho Lopez. But but Reggie, hory Lopez didn't

536
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: storm off because he won the lottery. He had a

537
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: bad day. That's why he stormed off, not because things

538
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: were going well. So that's not a great, great question.

539
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: But Danny, if you want it, you want it big.

540
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: You got a lot of money, Maybe you inherited money

541
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: from a relative you didn't know existed and they died

542
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: and gave you all their money.

543
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 3: Would you No, I would dramatically purchase the radio network,

544
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 3: not make any changes, but have a staff meeting and

545
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 3: announce to the staff that no changes are going to

546
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 3: be made. Yeah. Would you give everyone more money though,

547
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 3: that would be part of the change. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

548
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 3: that would be a change. That would be a change.

549
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 3: So I would give everybody a raise, but I would

550
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 3: close the gap between the hosts and the production crew.

551
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 3: Way back in the day, whoever set that up set

552
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 3: it up really poorly.

553
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: This is probably not gonna make you feel very good,

554
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: but when Fox Sports Radio started, they paid producers a

555
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: whole lot of money. At some point along the way,

556
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: they're like, well, we got to cook caf so we'll

557
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: just cut back and pay the.

558
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 3: Producer, the ones who we sit on the shoulders of

559
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 3: the most. Let's cut their pay.

560
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: No, but I remember they hired when the network started,

561
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: they had hired some big producers from ESPN, gotcha, brought

562
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: them here, and they paid them a lot of money,

563
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: like they were making, probably.

564
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 3: Probably hoping they could book some really good guests and

565
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 3: do all that, right.

566
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: I guess. I don't know what their motivation was, but

567
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: they paid them a lot of money. And you know, slowly,

568
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: I know, and not really slowly. Over the years, it's

569
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: gone down, down, down, down, down, down, down down down,

570
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: unfortunately mass high.

571
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 3: I mean, not for me. I'm rich, but of course

572
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 3: the other producers. I want to look out for them.

573
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: Yes, me too, as I do podcasts or radio shows

574
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: every day of the week. Masshole Matt right since says

575
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: he's no relation to masshole Mickey. He says, I love

576
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: hearing your show. Driving my trash truck around Boston. I

577
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: listened on the sports that well, thank you, because without

578
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: the trash truck everything starts smelling.

579
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 3: Oh that's cool.

580
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: Do you have an update on your TV show? Has

581
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: it been canceled or picked.

582
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 3: Up before we talked yesterday?

583
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: We talked about this yesterday, but I don't know. Hopefully

584
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: you'll be back. I haven't heard anything. Probably will know,

585
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: you know the way this works from last year next.

586
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: I would say by the end of this month, probably

587
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: closer to the middle of this month, I'll know whether

588
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna be picked up or not. But I haven't

589
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: heard anything. I'm optimistic. I've heard, you know, I've rumors

590
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: that things are going in the right direction, but uh, Danny,

591
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: as you know, until you actually get things presented, it's uh.

592
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 3: You could follow.

593
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 4: No.

594
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,479
Speaker 3: I heard rumors that they may want the original penny.

595
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: Oh well, hey, listen, you never know. If you know
