I'll rent a truck, 121 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: we'll fill it up with eggs, and then we'll come 122 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: back and we'll stand outside Costco and we'll whisper to people, 123 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: I got eggs, eggs, egzag, you know, something like that, 124 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: and then Dave can be the middle man.

And he sent me a 145 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: link to a story that says the state of Connecticut 146 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: is trying to convince the United States all the other 147 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: states that it is the pizza capital of the United States. 148 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: So when you think of pizza, Danny, and this is 149 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: not the question from John, he just want to know 150 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: our thoughts. So when you think of pizza, what do 151 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: you think of When I think of pizza, I think 152 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: of Chicago, and I think of New York. When I 153 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,599 Speaker 1: think of pizza in America, I do not think the 154 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: first thing I think of it New York. I think 155 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: of New York pizza, but I also think of Chicago 156 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: Deep dish pizza. The state. According to the story what's 157 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: his name, John sent they found that there are thirteen 158 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy six pizza restaurants in Connecticut, and New Haven, 159 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: Connecticut has sixty three of them. And they claim that 160 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: Connecticut leads the national rankings when it comes to pizzeria's 161 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: per capita locally owned establishments. So they're pumping this up here, Danny, 162 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: that per capita they are nambarwan. And this story has 163 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 1: a link from the state controller or no, not straight controler, 164 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: the state comptroller. I don't know what that is in Connecticut, 165 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: and it highlights the multi billion dollar pizza industry in Connecticut. 166 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 3: Have you seen that meme about Pittsburgh.

But there it is 196 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: Connecticut the pizza capital, unless it's not. 197 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 3: Now. 198 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: Connecticut's where a lot of people that live in New 199 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: York or work in New York live, and then they 200 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: drive into the city or take the train into the city, 201 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: and then they go back. And I briefly worked in 202 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: Connecticut for a year. I had a job at NBC. 203 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: This goes back twelve thirteen years ago.

There's some 324 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: money to be made there. I remember we talked about 325 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: the story of some people that created a really hot 326 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: looking AI woman and they're making money with her as 327 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: an influencer, and she has supposedly millions of people following her. Now, 328 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: I continue to be a skeptic, a massive skeptic when 329 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: it comes to the number of followers. Like there's more 330 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 1: people on Instagram than there are in the world, right 331 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: if you look at the number of Instagram accounts and 332 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,199 Speaker 1: how many people have a million followers, and like, the 333 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: math just doesn't work out. Even if you use malor math, 334 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 1: it doesn't really work out. But anyway, listen, that's great, 335 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: that's wonderful. Congratulations. I'm a skeptic.

Well, as you know, Kevin, I 398 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 1: was using the ancient art of sarcasm to mock and 399 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: lampoon the T Higgins camp. I always get a kick 400 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 1: out of this time of the year, we talk about 401 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: NFL free agency and teams are trying to upgrade, they're 402 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: trying to improve, players are trying to get paid, and 403 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 1: then you have some teams that stand pat but the 404 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,479 Speaker 1: players stories that are leaked from someone in player x's camp. 405 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: And I always laugh at that, Like, you're an athlete, 406 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 1: you get to a point where you have a camp, 407 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: like a traveling band of merry men and women that 408 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: travel around with you. It just is so stupid. And 409 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 1: it was like I did this rant. I was like, well, 410 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: how do you become how do you become part of 411 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: a camp? What if you want to break up the camp? 412 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: What do you do with the camp? Where does the 413 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: camp go? You know that kind of thing. I did 414 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 1: that whole whole rant, which I still think is amusing. 415 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 1: But Camp Mallard would be like Camp Snoopy be a 416 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: lot of fun. There'd be some rides there, but they 417 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't be scary rides and the weather would be pretty 418 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 1: good all the time, like something like that. What about 419 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 1: Camp Danny G, Danny what would that be? 420 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 3: Like? 421 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 1: I think you said Camp Snoopy. 422 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 3: You know there's also robberies there and our jackings. 423 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: I thought Magic Mountain was the one that was the 424 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: that's all. 425 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 3: That's another one. Remember they had to shut down the 426 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 3: concerts there. 427 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's people going there, and they was like, let's 428 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 1: do some you know, do some whatever, and we'll do it. 429 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: It's bad stuff, and we'll go to Magic Mountain to 430 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,679 Speaker 1: do it, because that's when you want bad stuff, you 431 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: go to where there's roller coasters. That's where you do 432 00:24:58,560 --> 00:24:59,199 Speaker 1: the bad stuff. 433 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, damn, Danny G. I think I would recruit JaMarcus 434 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 3: Russell to host my camp. He would teach all the 435 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 3: kids how to make and drink purple drink. He'd be 436 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 3: the bar and then he teach them how to lounge 437 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 3: on the job. 438 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: Well, no one did it better. No one did it 439 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: better in his era than your guy, JaMarcus Russell. One 440 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 1: of the great Raiders of all time, and he was 441 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: a franchise changing player. He was so bad the team 442 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: left Oakland. If think about it, if JaMarcus Russell had 443 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: been good and lived up to the hype as a 444 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 1: number one overall pick, then at some point the Raiders 445 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 1: would have gotten the money they needed to build a 446 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: stadium and would still be the Oakland Raiders and would 447 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 1: not have left to go to to Vegas. Well they 448 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 1: left years later. You don't know that. Well, no, but 449 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 1: do the math, because they wanted a stadium even when 450 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: JaMarcus Russell was there. What was Russell was there probably 451 00:25:55,600 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: in the eight around that time. Yeah, so they. 452 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 3: You're saying that he could have been there, Barry Bonds, 453 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 3: they could have built a stadium on his back. 454 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: Well yeah, or in Seattle, remember the Mariners, there were 455 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: rumors they were going to leave in Ken Griffy Junior 456 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: and the Mariners they went on this playoff run in 457 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 1: the This goes back to the mid nineties, but they 458 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 1: got a new stadium. They've been playing the Kingdome and 459 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: they wanted something new and they got the money they 460 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: needed because of this playoff run with Ken Griffy Junior. 461 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: So I'm just saying, just pointing that out. Next up 462 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 1: on the mail bag is Hank in Tokyo. He says, 463 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: good speaking to you during the show somewhat recently, and 464 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 1: then he references a previous episode of the show and 465 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: he says, you did Big Ben's Big Board. Now not 466 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 1: a list. He said this on the podcast last week 467 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 1: and now of the top single episodes of TV viewing 468 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 1: audiences final episode of Mash being the top Dog probably 469 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: just a slip of the tongue with justin case. The 470 00:26:55,880 --> 00:27:00,040 Speaker 1: setting of Mash was the Korean police action, not the 471 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: Vietnam conflict or as you said, the Vietnam War. Yes, Hank, Danny, 472 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: Hank's in Tokyo. Is that guy? You know, that guy 473 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 1: that has to touch up your work, to touch up 474 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: your work guy, that's Hank. And then he sent another complaint. 475 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 1: He said, a couple months ago, you did a word 476 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: of the week with ostracize or a synonym. He said, 477 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: I don't undred percent remember, and then he was upset 478 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: that I did not mention Socrates. That I should have 479 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 1: mentioned an example of Socrates. It never came. And so, 480 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: Hank is. 481 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 3: Here's my advice for Hank. He should have an after 482 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 3: after show where he just touches up all your work. 483 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: That's a great idea, Hank. You could do your own podcast, 484 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: the bridge called the Bridge to Nowhere, and you can 485 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: do your podcast and just correct everything that I say, 486 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 1: just one after another. 487 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,679 Speaker 3: Call it the Bill Miller Department of Corrections. 488 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:06,959 Speaker 1: Yes, the Bill Miller Corrections Retractions Department. Absolutely, thank you, 489 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 1: Thank you. Hank Hanks the listener that my boss used 490 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: to tell me about years ago. He said, Ben, if 491 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:16,679 Speaker 1: you want to know if people are listening, if you're 492 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,239 Speaker 1: not getting a lot of feedback to something you're doing, 493 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: make an obvious error on the show and people will run. 494 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 3: Work in your case, just be yourself. 495 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: How dare you? People will run to contact you, and 496 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: you will find out just how many people are listening, 497 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: because there's nothing the consumer of audio content likes more 498 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: than correcting the blowhard on the radio. So if you're 499 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: not getting a lot of negative feedback or positive feedback, 500 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: and you want some, just make a small error and 501 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: all of a sudden you'll be amazed at what happens. 502 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: Mike in Wisconsin wrights and says, guys, I thought of 503 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: your show when I saw this story.
