Speaker 1: Kutbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the Old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to Clearinghouse of
Speaker 2: hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
Speaker 2: with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Speaker 1: Mallor and Danny g Radio. Happy Saturday to you. We're
Speaker 1: hanging out on the seventh day of December, a wonderful,
Speaker 1: glorious day, very important day. We'll tell you why later.
Speaker 1: As we're hanging out and I gotta tell you day.
Speaker 1: I am fascinated by this crime mystery in New York.
Speaker 1: I've been clicking refreshed on this and so far they
Speaker 1: haven't caught this guy. The assassination in midtown Manhattan murder,
Speaker 1: a wild true crime mystery that happened a few days ago.
Speaker 1: And the assassin who just walked up on a on
Speaker 1: I think it was Sixth Avenue in Manhattan and knocked
Speaker 1: off this guy who was running an insurance company. It's
Speaker 1: a wild story. Everything's on video and the the hunt
Speaker 1: to find this guy. I've been watching this and keeping
Speaker 1: an eye on it every day. It's been a wacky, wacky,
Speaker 1: wacky story here. Yeah, and I didn't really you know,
Speaker 1: I know insurance companies are terrible in general. I know
Speaker 1: from my parents getting sick and dying and having to
Speaker 1: deal with them, what assholes they are and how they
Speaker 1: really it really is criminal the insurance companies in general.
Speaker 1: But you shouldn't be killing people there. There should be ways.
Speaker 3: To obviously to take the workplace back.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, but it is amusing. You might
Speaker 1: want to do some self reflection. If you're in the
Speaker 1: insurance business and somebody gets assassinated and the general public
Speaker 1: is cheering on the assassin, that generally that tells you
Speaker 1: you might be doing something wrong with your business. You
Speaker 1: might want to reevaluate your business. When the general rank
Speaker 1: and file like, yeah, we kind of liked that guy
Speaker 1: that did the killing, that that should tell you maybe
Speaker 1: you've you fucked up somehow. You know, I'm just saying, Danny,
Speaker 1: I just yeah. The other thing about this is the
Speaker 1: assassin guy, Danny, the guy that did the killing. They
Speaker 1: have video of him, and there's one clip of him
Speaker 1: with his mask off, and it's because he was trying
Speaker 1: to hit on a girl at a like a hostel
Speaker 1: or whatever it's called there.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, the photo, the still photo. I thought the
Speaker 3: past couple of days blown up. If we can't find
Speaker 3: this guy, then we just don't want to find him.
Speaker 1: Well that but but it's like all the things. The guy,
Speaker 1: you know, he's gonna get caught at some point. They
Speaker 1: probably know who he is already, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's early on Saturday. Maybe it'll catch him today. Maybe
Speaker 1: they caught him overnight, who knows. I haven't seen it
Speaker 1: if it's happened yet. But either way though, Danny, I
Speaker 1: mean of all the things because of that, because you know,
Speaker 1: he's hitting on some chick at it, you know, it's
Speaker 1: trying to you know, get a date, and he is
Speaker 1: taking his mask off.
Speaker 3: Of course it would be a girl. Yeah, as Jazzy
Speaker 3: Jeff and the Fresh Prince once famously wrapped back in
Speaker 3: the eighties, Girls of the World ain't nothing but trouble.
Speaker 1: It's just just outstanding. That part of it's just absolutely,
Speaker 1: absolutely hilarious. And then the other one that I've been
Speaker 1: following and talked about it obviously on the show, because
Speaker 1: it really fit to show the the hawk tour girl
Speaker 1: who has been accused of a crypto scam and there's
Speaker 1: all kinds of lawsuits and there. You know, people on
Speaker 1: the internet are saying it's a pump and dump and
Speaker 1: the whole deal.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's oh, she stepped in it, all right. Yeah,
Speaker 3: what a what a wild year it's been for that woman.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she does a blowjob joke on the you know,
Speaker 1: on the street, and she becomes a millionaire. That's pretty crazy, man, I.
Speaker 3: Can'eat with a successful podcast following.
Speaker 1: Who's listening to that? I've never met anyone listening. Do
Speaker 1: you know anyone listen to that?
Speaker 3: I don't know. But I saw that she had really
Speaker 3: good numbers. You know, this was a couple of months ago.
Speaker 3: I read about the numbers for the podcast. I don't know,
Speaker 3: how is it that has changed. I could tell you
Speaker 3: what the numbers will change now, probably.
Speaker 1: But how how is that even possible? I don't under
Speaker 1: who is this real?
Speaker 3: It was because a big podcast company hired her, produced
Speaker 3: the show, put lots of neon lights around her, and
Speaker 3: then stuck her with some really good guests, and they
Speaker 3: were able to sell it and market the podcast immediately.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I'm always a little skeptical of things like
Speaker 1: that because, like you know, I don't know, maybe she's
Speaker 1: a brilliant woman and she's got a lot going for.
Speaker 3: Well, it also helped that she gave away blow jobs
Speaker 3: to a lucky one hundred podcast listener.
Speaker 1: Well, that would encourage the dudes to listen, I would think.
Speaker 1: But anyway, so I saw that I was keeping an
Speaker 1: eye on that and the pump and dump situation. Wow,
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's it or not. I just
Speaker 1: saw that it was valuation. It was at five hundred million,
Speaker 1: the crypto thing on blockchain, and then within moments it
Speaker 1: dropped below like sixty or fifty million. I mean, we
Speaker 1: lost like four hundred plus million dollars in value, which
Speaker 1: is wa Wait anyway.
Speaker 3: How about one last thing? The US Air Force saying
Speaker 3: that that unexplained drone sighting near the UK, that's what
Speaker 3: they're calling it. Other people are calling it a UFO sighting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it might be there, We're not sure.
Speaker 3: The way it was moving I saw the video. The
Speaker 3: way it was moving around, it does not look like
Speaker 3: a drone. There's like an apol person beside it and
Speaker 3: another one inside, and it has big guys that're looking
Speaker 3: at us.
Speaker 1: Well, that would be a great way to close out
Speaker 1: the year, like, Hey, here's what we got and there's
Speaker 1: a little goblin things they don't even goblin.
Speaker 3: So what happens first in our country? Ben Hawkta girl
Speaker 3: becomes president of the United States, or we find out
Speaker 3: that UFOs are real.
Speaker 1: Hey, Trump can only be president for four more years,
Speaker 1: so after that it's wide open. I'm ready for hawk
Speaker 1: toa president Hawkta All right. On this podcast, we got
Speaker 1: who Let the Dogs Out? Thirty one emails, pass over,
Speaker 1: a bunch of other nonsense, but we'll start with this.
Speaker 1: So this the other day, I have Tales of the Handyman,
Speaker 1: and a previous episode of this podcast, we talked about
Speaker 1: the fact that you have a guy that helps us
Speaker 1: out at the house, does some work around the house,
Speaker 1: does a really good job. It doesn't always follow the
Speaker 1: proper decor, the etiquette, the rules.
Speaker 3: Shout yeah, you're talking about the white painter racist.
Speaker 1: Yes, the man that before friends giving up the whole
Speaker 1: gallon of paint directly bullseye right in the middle of
Speaker 1: the kitchen and it splattered everywhere, just went all over,
Speaker 1: all over the place. So we had that. And this
Speaker 1: this past week he was finishing up some work that
Speaker 1: he didn't do because he dropped the paint and all that.
Speaker 1: And he works the way this this was I sleep
Speaker 1: during the day. My wife usually works at night too,
Speaker 1: so she's sleeping during the day. She works at night.
Speaker 1: So she said, was sure today, and so the guy,
Speaker 1: I'll come over and do the work while we're sleeping, right,
Speaker 1: And so we have Moxie and Luigi. So normally he'll
Speaker 1: put Moxie and Luigi out in the back and then
Speaker 1: that way they don't bother him, and they're in the
Speaker 1: back and they're getting some outside time and it's all good.
Speaker 1: So the other day got up late afternoon like normal,
Speaker 1: went down, he was finishing up the work and I
Speaker 1: remember coming in my friend, Wow, the dogs are really quiet.
Speaker 1: Normally they're barking.
Speaker 3: I mean maybe box.
Speaker 1: He's been great, and so I, uh, I went outside
Speaker 1: to to see see the dogs and they were they
Speaker 1: were not there. So I came back in and I
Speaker 1: my wife was there and the in the handyman and
Speaker 1: they said, wow, I mean, you know where the dogs
Speaker 1: are they're not, They're not in the backyard. And the
Speaker 1: handyman doesn't say anything. He just sprints out the door
Speaker 1: and gets in his car, and he he had, without
Speaker 1: saying anything, he had implied that he, uh, who let
Speaker 1: the dogs out? He had let the dogs out, and
Speaker 1: the gate on the side of the house had been
Speaker 1: been opened, so that, you know, it was a straight shot.
Speaker 1: So then I, of course I jump in the car, right,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, all right, well, we got to get
Speaker 1: to the bottom of this, and so we got to
Speaker 1: find the dogs. I he didn't say, hey, I had
Speaker 1: the dog.
Speaker 3: So he rushed to his car to go look for them.
Speaker 1: Yes, without saying that was what he was doing. He
Speaker 1: just walked out and like panicked and got in his
Speaker 1: car and was driving around. Right, So then I got
Speaker 1: my car and I'm driving around assuming that you know,
Speaker 1: he's obviously that why else would you do that? You
Speaker 1: felt guilt because you left the gate open, the dogs
Speaker 1: got out, and who knows how many hours they've been out,
Speaker 1: And so we're driving around, right, We're driving My wife's
Speaker 1: freaking out. She's you know, calling the pound or whatever
Speaker 1: is maybe somebody found him. So we're driving around we're
Speaker 1: driving around, probably thirty forty minutes. We're driving around no luck, right, No,
Speaker 1: we're asking people, of course my wife is I'm not.
Speaker 1: But we're passing by people on the street, Hey you
Speaker 1: see these dog whatever. So we get back to the
Speaker 1: house and we're like, oh, we're all depressed, like, oh
Speaker 1: crap and uh. And the handyman a short time later
Speaker 1: he pulls back up. He's been driving around for forty
Speaker 1: forty five minutes, and he then had an epiphany. He
Speaker 1: had realized that, unlike normal, he had put the dogs
Speaker 1: in a garage in the in the in the garage.
Speaker 1: What oh, yeah, so I spent forty five if I
Speaker 1: spent about forty minutes driving around trying to find dogs
Speaker 1: that were at the house, just in a different room.
Speaker 3: How old is this guy? Is he having memory loss?
Speaker 1: Well, he's actually much younger than I am. I think
Speaker 1: he might be dabbling in the you know, the pharmaceuticals.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. I don't know, but
Speaker 1: it was like the cop. Yes, yes, smoked every day,
Speaker 1: you smoked good joints in the morning, you smoked good
Speaker 1: joints tonight. He must have that really good stuff. I'd
Speaker 1: never say an night. He didn't say anything. He just
Speaker 1: like walked out in front of the house and got
Speaker 1: in his car and started driving around with his head
Speaker 1: out the window like he was looking for dogs. So
Speaker 1: then we did it. You know, he didn't say, hey,
Speaker 1: you should do it. We just did it, and you know,
Speaker 1: sure enough, everything was fine. And then my wife had
Speaker 1: to go to the neighbors. We found the dogs. Where
Speaker 1: were they in the house? So it was it was interesting.
Speaker 1: It was an interesting, interesting day. And I got back.
Speaker 1: I didn't have that many emails. I don't normally open
Speaker 1: most of my email I have right now. If you
Speaker 1: go to my email page, let me see how many
Speaker 1: emails I have. I have seventy one thousand unread emails.
Speaker 1: At one point I had At one point I had
Speaker 1: over one hundred thousand. So I have chopped off thirty
Speaker 1: thousand emails. But I have seven one hundred, three hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty seventy seventy one thousand, three hundred sixty five
Speaker 1: emails I have not read. Almost all of those are
Speaker 1: from pr people back when I ran my website. I
Speaker 1: also get a lot of random who sends me. The
Speaker 1: teams in LA send me a lot of stuff I get,
Speaker 1: like NASCAR emails and stuff I don't even bother them.
Speaker 1: Oh's got you don't cover NASCAR anymore. But when I
Speaker 1: had the website and all that, but thirty one emails,
Speaker 1: that's a lot of emails, new emails in one day.
Speaker 1: That's a that's a fair amount of emails.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is an email thread. I'm going to
Speaker 3: explain to you an email from the PR director and
Speaker 3: the personal manager. They're emailing me together answering an email
Speaker 3: from a month ago, and then a month before that,
Speaker 3: I had sent an email. A month before that, I
Speaker 3: had sent several emails. This was all related to Mike
Speaker 3: Tyson's fight versus Jake Paul. As you know, on the
Speaker 3: CNR show here and there, it's not every week, but
Speaker 3: it's a staple on the show. We do Iron Mike
Speaker 3: Trivia because Covino does a really good Mike Tyson impersonation. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So it's a game. It's a trivia boxing trivia game
Speaker 3: that we do where we have the broke Mike Tyson
Speaker 3: in the studio with us reading the trivia questions about
Speaker 3: himself and the world of boxing. We have a listener
Speaker 3: on the line. They can win a prize.
Speaker 1: This is unfathomable, This is ridiculous.
Speaker 3: It's been going on for a couple of years now
Speaker 3: on the show, a lot of fun. And so when
Speaker 3: Mike Tyson and Jake Paul were trying to get the
Speaker 3: hype train going for their fight, I reached out to
Speaker 3: Tyson's team and I said, hey, I know that back
Speaker 3: in the serious XM radio days, Mike Tyson sat down
Speaker 3: with the guys a couple of different times. How about
Speaker 3: him coming on the show right now, He's a big
Speaker 3: part of our show. The guys are talking about the
Speaker 3: fight a lot. You know, let's book it. So his manager,
Speaker 3: Ben emailed me back and said, yep, familiar with the guys,
Speaker 3: I know him, well, love the show. Let's make it happen.
Speaker 3: Boom goes to Dynamite. Yeah, got this booking, and you know,
Speaker 3: it took a few emails, but I got it done.
Speaker 3: And then, as you know in the world of this Ben,
Speaker 3: what happens sometimes.
Speaker 1: Well you know, if people get busy, Danny and yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: age their mind and.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and you get Brian Billick.
Speaker 1: Brian Billich, Brian Billick.
Speaker 3: He's a verb now in our world.
Speaker 1: The run around, the run around, yeah.
Speaker 3: I kept sending them emails, and this is the key
Speaker 3: to producing and being a good producer. Don't ever get frustrated.
Speaker 3: Always smile and send happy, you know, emails and text
Speaker 3: messages to these people, hoping it's going to come back around.
Speaker 3: And in this case, it did because that email on
Speaker 3: Monday morning said, you know what, Danny, We're going to
Speaker 3: make that interview Happenoo. Now it's post fight, but still
Speaker 3: a lot of people have questions about what happened in
Speaker 3: that fight? Was it rigged? Why did it stink the
Speaker 3: way it did? As Covino, I'm looking at Covino's list
Speaker 3: of questions that he wrote down that a couple of
Speaker 3: these he wants to ask Mike. He wrote, not many
Speaker 3: men could break the internet with their butt cheeks, but
Speaker 3: you did. How did that feel?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh yeah, yeah, everyone was talking about they weren't
Speaker 1: even talking about there was talking about bad the fight was,
Speaker 1: but that was that got more attention in the fight itself.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. Covino's next sample question here for the naysayers,
Speaker 3: how come you weren't able to pull the trigger on
Speaker 3: some of those right hooks? So you know, hey, the
Speaker 3: guys were excited when they heard that Tyson was going
Speaker 3: to come on the show. I am now running around
Speaker 3: talking to not only his PR lady in New York,
Speaker 3: but his personal PR guy who walks around with him,
Speaker 3: and his personal manager. So I'm dealing with three different
Speaker 3: people on his team. Back and forth, been back and forth,
Speaker 3: and she said, you got to send me those sample questions.
Speaker 1: You had to send the the What's up with that?
Speaker 3: I know, right?
Speaker 1: So after they say have to approve the questions, is
Speaker 1: that what they're.
Speaker 3: Going to do. She didn't word it like that, but
Speaker 3: she wanted an idea of some of the questions that
Speaker 3: the guys would use.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: Okay, now I counted the thread thirty one emails. Now,
Speaker 3: don't get me wrong, I appreciate the fact they're going
Speaker 3: to have the champ Iron Mike Tyson come on the
Speaker 3: radio show. Yeah, but they sent me a list of
Speaker 3: questions and you'll like this, she wrote, Danny, appreciate you
Speaker 3: sending these sample questions through. I passed these by Mike's
Speaker 3: personal publicist, and we'd really appreciate it if we could
Speaker 3: focus on the below for the interview, as Mike wouldn't
Speaker 3: be so keen to discuss some of the previous topics.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: And I haven't discussed this with CNR yet. I wanted
Speaker 3: them to just kind of get into the weekend, breathe
Speaker 3: a little bit, and then Monday morning, I'm gonna have
Speaker 3: to address this, which is gonna suck. But I think
Speaker 3: what they should do, and maybe this is how you
Speaker 3: would handle it as well. Maybe ask one of their
Speaker 3: questions and then ask one of your questions and kind
Speaker 3: of rotate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Dan, listen, I mean, I'm at the point
Speaker 1: now in my career. I've had to deal with this
Speaker 1: in the past. I I'm out. If you have to approve,
Speaker 1: you have a team of PR people to approve questions.
Speaker 1: It's not worth my time. That's just how I look
Speaker 1: at it, because I've done those interviews in the past,
Speaker 1: and it just seems, is it Kamala Harris the you know,
Speaker 1: is it like the vice president before? Yeah, the question,
Speaker 1: I mean, it just seems I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: and you do it, and Mike Tyson's a big name
Speaker 1: and it would be a great get and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: But my position, I guess I'm too jaded at this
Speaker 1: point now, and I I just don't want to deal
Speaker 1: with the bull crap. And so it's like, if you're
Speaker 1: that afraid to talk, like, why are you even doing
Speaker 1: an interview if you can't just answer anything? And Mike
Speaker 1: Tyson's done enough interviews, and any of these celebrities that
Speaker 1: do these that have that many PR people. My position
Speaker 1: has always been, it's really not that hard to not
Speaker 1: answer a question. Like, if you're a skilled person at communication,
Speaker 1: it's very simple to change the questions, say, don't even
Speaker 1: ask a question, you know what I mean, Dan, I mean,
Speaker 1: we do it all the time. If somebody asks you
Speaker 1: a question you don't like, you deflect and you you
Speaker 1: answer something totally different, or you ask yourself a question.
Speaker 1: So why would anyone that's just my thing? I mean,
Speaker 1: I like what I know, PR people that get paid
Speaker 1: a lot of money. I'm sure Tyson's got you know,
Speaker 1: he's got tons of money from the weed business and
Speaker 1: all that. But it's like, what are you doing, Like
Speaker 1: you should be Mike Tyson's older than we are. You
Speaker 1: should be able to deflect. And it's like in boxing,
Speaker 1: you've got a bob and weave, right, you've got a
Speaker 1: bob and weave and good defense.
Speaker 3: And yeah, and to be honest, Covino's questions were not
Speaker 3: out of line. I read you just a couple of him.
Speaker 3: He's got a couple more asking about that Saudi Arabia
Speaker 3: money rumor for eight hundred million dollars for rematch and
Speaker 3: stuff like that. I think what the guys are going
Speaker 3: to tell me on Monday morning is screw it. We're
Speaker 3: going to do it the way we want to do it.
Speaker 3: And yeah, we'll promote Tyson two point zero, we'll promote
Speaker 3: his website for him whatever. You know, that's fun. That's
Speaker 3: normal to promote somebody's you know, business while they're on
Speaker 3: the radio. Yeah, but they're going to ask the questions
Speaker 3: they want to ask. And if she tries to pull
Speaker 3: the plug on the interview while it's going on, I
Speaker 3: don't know, maybe it'll make it even better. Because if
Speaker 3: Mike Tyson walks out on CNR, then maybe that's an
Speaker 3: even better interview.
Speaker 1: Oh, it would be good publicity. Sure, if you know,
Speaker 1: and then if see that happened, it was my show
Speaker 1: and that happened, I would then proceed to read all
Speaker 1: the questions that Mike would not answer.
Speaker 3: You know, that's that's my bat And Bo'm glad you
Speaker 3: said that Ben, because you just gave me a really
Speaker 3: good backup plan, I explained to Iron Mike Trivia, we
Speaker 3: do I could have Rich read the remaining questions and
Speaker 3: have Covino answer them as Mike Tyson.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, that's the way I would I would
Speaker 1: approach it. But again, I mean, we've been around a while, Danny,
Speaker 1: and I'm at the point now and I've dealt with that. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: at night, we don't do interviews and stuff, and we
Speaker 1: used to do more on this podcast, but now I
Speaker 1: just kind of put people on that I like and
Speaker 1: people that I know a little bit generally, and every
Speaker 1: almost all have people that I don't know on the podcast.
Speaker 1: But that's that's just like, hey, if you if you're
Speaker 1: that guarded, you know you're not You're not hiding the
Speaker 1: nuclear secrets here, Mike Tyson, Dude, I mean, you know
Speaker 1: what are we doing here?
Speaker 3: I don't you know. He'll I think he'll be into it, Ben,
Speaker 3: because he's hung out with them on the radio before
Speaker 3: and he really liked them, and they have really good
Speaker 3: drops from him that they've always played on the air,
Speaker 3: so they have a little bit of a relationship with him.
Speaker 3: It's the handlers who seem too overbearing?
Speaker 1: Yeah, are they going to be the monitoring it? And
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you ask the wrong question and
Speaker 1: the zoom cuts out, all of a sudden, It's this
Speaker 1: is shame for most. Today is just you know, random
Speaker 1: Saturday in December. As we said, the seventh day of
Speaker 1: the month. You already know that. But why is this
Speaker 1: night different from all other nights? Well, it's kind of passover,
Speaker 1: like that's on all other nights. I normally don't invite
Speaker 1: my friends and co workers into the Malor Mansion, but
Speaker 1: on this night, the lucky few who got the invite
Speaker 1: are more than what. The twenty twenty four Malor Ugly
Speaker 1: Sweater Party, the social event of the Sports Radio calendar,
Speaker 1: is upon us tonight, and oh what fun it is.
Speaker 1: It is a massive day eat, drink and be merry,
Speaker 1: and based on the RSVPs as of this morning, this
Speaker 1: is gonna be the biggest Ugly Sweater party we have
Speaker 1: ever hosted here in the north Woods. And so we'll
Speaker 1: see who actually shows up. I usually there's a bunch
Speaker 1: of people at the last but I can't make it.
Speaker 1: My car broke down, you know, my dog ate, my homework,
Speaker 1: all that stuff, but we'll see hopefully a lot of
Speaker 1: people I always invite. I've talked about this in the
Speaker 1: years past, but I always invite people that are work friends.
Speaker 1: I did a rant on the monologue the other night.
Speaker 1: I was ranting about Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson, and
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson had stated since Cousins went to the Falcons,
Speaker 1: they've not had one conversation. Some people were taken aback
Speaker 1: by that, and I said, well, those are work friends,
Speaker 1: their colleagues, and when your work friends are not real friends,
Speaker 1: you know, just work friends, and then when you stop
Speaker 1: working with someone, that's it. But I generally made it
Speaker 1: a point to talk to invite people, and most of
Speaker 1: them don't show up, which means they're really not even
Speaker 1: my work friends. They don't like me at all, which
Speaker 1: is fine. I'm fine with it, but I like them.
Speaker 3: I don't think you could look at it exactly like that.
Speaker 3: If you lived closer to the studios, then I think
Speaker 3: you would see certain faces you don't see right now.
Speaker 1: No, but I've always you know, I've made it a
Speaker 1: point I've driven very far. I've always say, you know,
Speaker 1: if it's important enough. My philosophy on life is like,
Speaker 1: if something's important enough, you're gonna find a way to
Speaker 1: make it, and if not, you won't and you'll find
Speaker 1: some other reasons. But uh, and most you know, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of people that do come every year and whatnot,
Speaker 1: so what but were the point is?
Speaker 3: We have a great.
Speaker 1: Crowd tonight, A lot of people, A lot of the
Speaker 1: old work people not so much.
Speaker 3: Some of them.
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna stop inviting because they never show up.
Speaker 1: So what's the point. But I know Adie's gonna be there,
Speaker 1: which is great. I'm gonna lie man.
