We've 0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:01.000 got the Rockets, red Glare. The tall at the time 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:05.560 will be footy fun and the phrase of the week. 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:10.040 But we begin with this a programming note. We are 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:15.520 now in week nine of the NFL season. Now. Last 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:21.760 night the Jets Suck, Suck, Suck, were horrific for the 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:26.360 first thirty minutes and then came back and went hog 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.440 wild in the second half. 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.640 Aaron Rodgers actually looked like he knew what he was doing. 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:37.440 That Cayenne Pepper kicked in and the Jets got it done. 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:38.120 They won. 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.600 They were a small favorite and one of those games 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:45.600 the public was loading up on the Houston Texans picking again. 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:49.160 It was like a broken atm machine. Free money. Everyone 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:53.000 gets free money, and how did that work out? 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:54.919 Not good? Not good. 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:56.959 But with that being said, though, as we head into 0:02:56.960 --> 0:03:00.480 the football weekend, the meat and potatoes of the football 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:06.239 Weekend later today, in fact, depending on when this podcast 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.360 goes up, I'm recording it early in the morning here 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.720 on Friday, the first of November. But it'll go up 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:15.960 in a little bit. I don't know exactly when. I 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.960 don't it's not my pay grade, but when it goes up, 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:25.320 we will. We will advise you to watch Benny versus 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:27.880 the pay I know all you do is promote the 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.720 TV show. Well's yeah, it's a big deal. It's a 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.040 big deal, and I'd love for you to be a 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:36.200 part of it and we tell you stories behind the 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:40.200 scenes and whatnot and the good news for the TV show. 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:44.640 I've been getting absolutely cooked by the Penny. I'm like 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:46.600 a munchkin compared to the Penny. 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:47.080 This year. 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.320 It's one of my worst seasons I've ever had, if 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.600 not the worst, against the Penny. 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:55.040 Picking NFL games. 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:58.440 I'm doing the same thing, the same thing that I've 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.680 done in terms of hand capping, and it just hasn't 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:03.920 gone my way so far. This year, but it will 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.200 even out as we go through the season. I will 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.839 rack up some wins. So there were some signs of life. 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:15.680 Now Benny Versus the Penny today in Philadelphia and BC 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.800 Sports Philadelphia seven pm tonight, you'll be able to watch 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.839 the show. In Boston. The Celtics are playing the Hornets, 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.680 which is good for the Celtics because that's an easy game, 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.600 but it's bad for the show because we get bumped. 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:32.840 We're gonna be on late night. I think the. 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:34.800 Show is gonna be on a ten thirty or eleven. 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:39.279 It's after the Celtics Hornets game and the postgame coverage 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:42.560 on NBC Sports Boston, so please check that out. That 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:47.000 is the hub. That is where the show is produced. Benny, 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:50.080 who is the man in charge day to day of 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.640 Benny Versus the Penny. He lives in that area and 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:55.760 in all the people at NBC Sports Boston have been 0:04:55.800 --> 0:05:00.480 so great. We go back there every year and tape 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.960 a bunch of stuff and so put the show together. 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:04.680 They produced the show during the week so that's on 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.600 NBC Sports Boston and it's gonna be on after the 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:12.360 Celtics tonight, but all weekend long they've been very good 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.159 to us. They show the show over and over again 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.480 on NBC Sports Boston in the Bay Area. 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:20.120 This was pretty cool. 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:25.080 So Alamta Lou sent me a message at the King 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:31.760 Fisher Bar over in Oakland and Thursday night. I've not 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:33.719 heard of this, bro. I didn't realize the show started 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.080 airing on Thursday night. I thought it just started on Friday. 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:39.159 But in some markets I know in the NBC Sports 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:43.400 Bay Area, the show was broadcast on Thursday night, which 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:44.360 is really cool. 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:46.160 That's awesome. We do the. 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:49.560 Show Thursday during the day and by Thursday night the 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:55.240 show's being broadcast. That's outstanding. Obviously it's not a live show, 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:57.000 but it's got to be edited and put together and 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.440 all that, although it is live on tape, as Tom 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:04.240 Looney likes say. Several showings, including tonight at six pm, 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.320 nine to thirty pm on NBC Sports Bay Area obviously 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:12.400 those times specific, and then on Saturday we hit La 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:18.920 La Land on Spectrum Sportsnet LA. That'll be Saturday eight am, 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:24.760 LA time there, three pm and five pm. And if 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.920 you have not been paying attention, I don't know how 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:31.960 you could have missed this. But Benny Versus the penny 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:37.160 is now National on NBC's streaming platform Peacock. You can 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:41.760 get the show starting later today on this Friday, sometime 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:47.479 late afternoon, early evening throughout the weekend and enjoy Benny 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.520 Versus the Penny whenever you want, watch it over and 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.760 over again. Give the gift of Benny Versus the Penny 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:55.920 to someone else. I do whatever you want with the show, 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:58.960 but all of that will be available. So we're very 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.719 excited about the show this week. And I did debut 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:07.880 some new wardrobe. I know, try to stay Colm, try 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:09.200 to stay new wardrobe. 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:09.840 I know. 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.040 It's exciting. Yeah. 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.080 So that'll be today and all weekend long, Benny Versus 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:20.080 the Penny. Now the Rockets Red Glare. Today is a 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:26.720 big day. It is parade day in LA And while 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:32.000 I am thrilled that the Lawyers won the World Series, 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:32.840 I was floating. 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.240 On air when they won. It's great, wonderful. 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:39.400 I will not be in attendance at the Dodger Parade, 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:41.960 which I believe starts at like eleven o'clock. There's a 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:47.640 rally at Dodger Stadium. I will not be there because 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:51.480 I do an overnight show and then a few hours 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:56.440 later I record a podcast and at some point I 0:07:56.480 --> 0:08:00.200 have to sleep because I have things I have to do. 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.040 I have like a day and a half off because 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:05.440 I work Friday, and these are first world problems. But 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:09.000 I'm off Friday night all day Saturday, and I'm back 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:10.160 to work on Sunday night. 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.040 So I have like a day and a half where 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:13.480 I can kind of do what I want. 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:17.240 And I obviously have this podcast, but other than that, 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:20.840 I don't have to prepare for a four hour radio show. 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:22.680 It's the fifth hour podcast. 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:25.440 Which is normally you know, thirty thirty five minutes somewhere 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:28.760 in that ballpark, and so that's typically how long the 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.800 podcast is. So I will not be at the parade today. 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:38.120 But the bums did it. After years of heartbreak mixed 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:45.480 in with the most ridiculous, outstanding, marvelous championship run during 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.960 a global pandemic, the Boys in Blue are back on top, 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:52.240 the twenty twenty four world champions and they slayed the 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:55.520 Mets and the Yankees and the Padres on their way 0:08:55.559 --> 0:09:00.679 to the championship. The parade this morning. Now, I want 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:03.320 to go back to was it Wednesday? 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:04.200 I guess it was Wednesday. 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:10.480 It was Game five and on Wednesday, I don't eat. 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:13.839 That's my day. I used to fast multiple days. I 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:17.320 don't eat on Wednesday. And the reason I don't need 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:20.440 on Wednesday is because the TV shows on Thursday. So 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:23.520 I don't want to look bloated, and I'm very worried 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:27.600 about my girlish figure. So what I did was I 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:31.800 settled in on the sofa my laptop and I'm scanning around. 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:35.240 I'm like looking for things that are interesting to me 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:38.240 that I want to talk about from football and the 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:41.800 different sports. And as I'm doing that, starting to get 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.040 ready for the show. In my head, I'm trying to 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:46.080 map out what's the show going to. 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:46.760 Look like tonight. 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:48.959 No, I don't know what's going to happen in the 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:51.040 baseball game, and I don't know what's gonna happen to 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.719 all these games and whatnot, but in my head I've 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.280 mapped out. I'm like, all right, if the Dodgers lose, 0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:00.640 there's a game six. So in my head, I'm like, 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.800 all right, we'll do one monologue on baseball. We'll get 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.120 it all in to an hour of baseball, and then 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.440 I'll move on to football. There's some other stories that 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:12.320 I like. And then the Dodgers came back and I 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:14.160 was like, all right, you know this is worthy of 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:17.200 two hours. This is an hour on the Dodgers, and 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:20.120 then I'll do a monologue on the Yankees. And so 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:22.040 I switched up the show. I had some other stuff 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:25.319 that I was going to talk about Wednesday night, and 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.000 we didn't get to it, which is fine. I mean 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.560 I had not put the show to bed, and as 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:32.800 I made the decision, you know what we need to do. 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:38.080 We need to talk baseball for a couple hours. And 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:39.760 so we did, and then we talked to football and 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.200 all that. But right as the game and I had 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:44.400 a couple of text chains going. As I was getting 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.400 ready for the show, I'm watching the Dodger game. It's 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:51.199 called multitasking, compartmentalize. So I got the game on the TV, 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:54.920 I got my laptop. People are texting me throughout the game. 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:58.000 I got Yankee fans, I got Roberto the bus driver, 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:01.000 some other Dodger fans. I've got some people that aren't 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:02.640 baseball fans, that are just trolls. 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:07.480 Hey, the Dodgers are down five nothing, are you getting worried? 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:14.280 You know that kind of stuff. And then the tide turned. 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:22.280 That's right, the tide turned. So how did it turn 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:26.280 How did the whole thing turn? Side was well, if 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:30.719 you forgot a big thanks to Freddie Freeman for the 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:35.920 RBI hit, but Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:43.239 who fundamentally exploded and it was marvelous, the sizzle, the swagger, 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:45.880 all those home runs early for the Yankees, and it. 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:49.520 All went away. It all went away. 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:51.800 And so, as I mentioned, after the game ended, I 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:55.000 had to hop in the Malamobile because I knew things 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.800 were going to get crazy in Southern California. I had 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.800 a very long drive from the North Woods to the 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:06.000 Mothership in Sherman Oaks. So I'm I'm driving and as 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:11.520 I drove, I saw a spectacle that you see on 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:14.560 the fourth of July. On each side of the highway. 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:20.640 It was a rockets red clear We're talking Disney style fireworks. 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:27.319 It reminded me of the COVID year, very similar when 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:31.040 the Dodgers won in twenty twenty and everyone was under 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:36.320 house arrest and people were going out and shooting. 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:39.319 Off Disneyland fireworks. 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.920 Now, one of the things if you're not in Southern California, 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:44.000 based on the podcast numbers, a lot of you are not. 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:49.080 We're obviously not that far away from Mexico and in Tijuana, 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:53.600 just across the border from San Diego. They must make 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:57.640 so much money selling these fireworks. It's got to be 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:02.720 insane how much money they make. Because everyone all over 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:06.360 southern California was shooting these things off, and I got 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.600 a little video I try to record, which is you 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:11.840 shouldn't do, you shouldn't do. I tried to record it 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:13.360 on my phone. I got a little clip of it, 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:15.600 but it didn't really do it justice how many people 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:18.440 were shooting the fireworks off. They were everywhere. And then 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:23.160 my phone starts blowing up and it's people celebrating the Dodgers, whining, 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.920 people congratulating like I played a role in it, which 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.880 was kind of cool. And then I started getting requests 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.959 to do interviews, and I'm trying to get ready for 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:34.040 the show, and I got two monologues. I still got 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:37.920 to do put notes down. But my guy Darcy messages me, 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:43.880 the Great Darcy walder Grave, New Zealand radio legend. He said, hey, mate, 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.120 the Dodgers have won. I would like to have you 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:51.120 on my show. I can't turn down Darcy. Darcy is 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:54.520 my guy. I've known Darcy for years and he used 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:56.280 to put me on every week and it was great 0:13:56.400 --> 0:14:00.600 and wonderful. So Darcy called me up. I said, all right, 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:03.000 I'm in, and a couple of other people called and 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:03.800 they wanted me to go on. 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:05.920 I even went on. 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:11.080 A podcast hosted by Ryan Burschinger Keep Trying, Ryan Bow 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.960 the Show and Monsei. They have a baseball podcast like 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:18.000 a Dodger podcast, And I was on with that. But 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:19.880 I still had to get ready for my show, and 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:22.560 so I went to the very back, very back of 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:24.440 the old Fox Sports Radio studio. 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.040 I sat there, lights down. 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:31.280 I was just contemplating everything I wanted to throw out 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:32.880 and things I wanted to say, and I was looking 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:34.600 for more things that I thought were interesting that I 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.520 could talk about. Put the bullet points down a lot 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:44.440 of moving parts, but that view majestic driving down the highway, 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.760 You're going sixty five seventy five mile an hour and 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:51.600 on both sides as wild. And then as we did 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:56.680 the show overnight, we were documenting all of the debauchery 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:00.440 and there was a lot that bus that they burned 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:04.720 up the lunatics. There were several stores that were looted, 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:09.040 and it was it was terrible. 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.400 Is what it was lawlessness. 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.600 The animals were out running around running my I I 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:17.560 think there were really Dodger fans. I mean, there's people 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:21.080 looking for a reason to steal shoes or jewelry or whatever. 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:21.800 They were stealing. 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:24.880 But it's a shame because most of the people were 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:26.920 just in a celebratory mood, want to have a good time, 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:28.840 and then these knuckleheads go in there and they ruin 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:33.200 everything and make everyone look bad. But that's the story 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:34.520 of you know, the story of the world. I mean, 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:37.000 it's just a preview of coming attractions. I hope I'm wrong, 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:43.000 but the election is a few days away, and something 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:45.200 tells me that there'll be more of that coming up 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:49.440 next week. Now at the tone the time will be. 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:52.920 If you're of a certain age, you know exactly what 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.720 that is. That was a big deal. Before everyone had 0:15:55.720 --> 0:16:00.320 a watch on their phone. It was important. You needn't 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:02.400 know the time. So I bring this up because we 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:07.720 have new information out the malor meet and greet Canza 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:12.880 City style. That's a week from Saturday. If you have 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:15.440 not heard yet, we are going to Kansas City. I 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:18.360 am traveling there now. I'm not going with Eddie. He's 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.000 not going Coop's not going, Lorraine is not going. Just me. 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:22.160 It's only me. 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.600 Danny's not going to be there, It's only me. A 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:29.760 week from Saturday, November ninth. Where is it the Landing? Now? 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:32.800 The Landing is in the Kansas City here. It's in Liberty, Missouri, 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:36.880 which is kind of near where the Chiefs play, kind 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:40.040 of near where the Royals play. It's the Landing that 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:45.720 is the home of the world famous Ben Mallard chicken fingers. 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.360 I am going back to the Mecca. Now. Last time 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:51.800 I was in Kansas City, the good people that own 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:54.840 the Landing, there was a it was a different restaurant. 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:56.720 It was the I think it's called the Brooksider if 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:59.160 I remember correctly. But now it's the Landing. It's been 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:01.880 the Landing for many men years and I'm very excited 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:04.000 about that. I'm gonna go to Arrowhead Stadium for the 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.840 first time. I've never been to Arrowhead. If you have 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.639 any advice, if you're a listener in that area and 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:11.240 you want to give me advice on what I need 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.399 to know, where I need to go must do's in 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:19.120 Kansas City. I already know there's the Ben Maller chicken 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:23.520 Fingers which I'm dying to eat. And the greatest barbecue 0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:27.760 sandwich I've ever had was in Kansas City. It was 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:32.160 at a place called Oklahoma Joe's, which has since changed 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:35.560 their name to Kansas City Joe's. So at some point 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:39.000 I'm going to hit Kansas City Joe's. I'm gonna do 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:42.640 a lot of eating, a lot of eating, but at 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:45.639 the tone the time will be. We now have the time. 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:49.440 The time has been set. Myself and the Great Bob 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:53.199 Fesco and his listeners from ninety six point five the 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:57.040 fan will be there as well. It's a meet and 0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:00.440 greet get together myself, you guys in the mall militia, 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:03.760 and then Bob and his many loyal listeners to his 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:05.760 morning show. And I'm not sure if Dusty's going to 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:08.720 be there, his sidekick on the morning show. But we 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:12.920 will be at the landing from two pm till four 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:17.879 pm at least, probably later than that, probably later than that, 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:21.080 but at least for those two hours, and we'll see 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:23.320 who shows up, and we'll have fun, we'll tell stories 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:26.040 and just have a good old time, just have a 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:29.280 great old time. And then the next day I'm going 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:33.760 to Arrowhead for what's really a pretty big game, the 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:39.600 Chiefs and the Broncos in the a f C West 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:45.000 Hum nigger, Hum, nigger of the matchup. I'm excited at 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:49.520 now several of you of RSVPED. I am reluctant to 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:51.800 say any names. I know JT. The Wingman's been to 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:53.880 the last three of these things, so I'm pretty sure 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:56.280 he's going to show up. But we've had listeners from 0:18:56.280 --> 0:19:00.200 as far away as Iowa. There was a gentleman from 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:05.560 Minnesota who's considering driving down a listener in Texas. How 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:08.160 many of these people actually do it or not? As 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:10.240 I say, with all of the malor meat and greets, 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:13.720 and this was not planned, this is a last minute thing. 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:16.639 I'm very excited to do it. I love Kansas City. 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:19.920 You guys have been great, You've supported the show over 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:21.680 the years, and I. 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:23.359 Mean, they have chicken figures named after me. How can 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:24.560 I go to Kansas City? 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:27.719 However, in terms of who's showing up and who's not, 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:31.000 you never know because people say they're going to be 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:34.040 there and then life gets in the way and you 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:37.040 can't make it. And so I hope you'll be able 0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:40.920 to attend everyone that's RSVPED. We'll have a great turnout, 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:43.560 just a wonderful turnout if everyone shows up. 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:45.960 But a lot of people have been tentative. They're like, 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:47.000 I'm planning. 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:50.160 On going, but my kid's got a soccer game, or 0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:54.240 my daughters in cheerleading and she's got this that or 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:56.280 the other thing or banned or whatever. 0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:56.880 I understand. 0:19:56.960 --> 0:20:00.160 I totally get it. We're there if you can make it. 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:03.760 I'd love to see you. Some of you I saw before. 0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:06.000 I hopefully Jeopardy Owl will be there. I don't know 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:06.480 if you'll be. 0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:08.360 There or not. I'm not sure about that. 0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:12.639 But again, I'll be joined by my radio homeboy, Bob 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:15.320 Fesco from ninety six point five to the fantasies of 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:18.480 the morning show. There and that is the FM Blowtorch, 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:23.440 the home of the Royals and the Chiefs. So it's 0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:25.880 gonna be a lot, a lot of fun time. Now 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:30.560 for the phrase of the week. As you know, this 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:33.800 is a big time podcast unless it's not. But I 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:38.679 love words. I try to use different words. I'm not 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:42.800 really book educated, meaning I wasn't a great student and 0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:45.800 had some issues with getting up in the morning to 0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:48.800 go to school. But I've continued to learn as i've 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:52.760 gone further through life, and I try to learn something 0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:53.440 new every day. 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:57.120 I love words though right, and I try to think 0:20:57.160 --> 0:20:58.800 that I'm not just whistling in the dark. 0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:06.400 That changing up my lexicon and adding new verbiage kind 0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:11.000 of fun. I enjoy it. And so you guys, you 0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:14.360 know who you are, have been wonderful. You've helped me out. 0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:21.480 For example, Marcus who is insane, Antonio rights and he says, 0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:24.720 dear Ben and Danny g. Growing up as a kid 0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:27.959 can be tough tough enough, but when you are a 0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:32.840 military brat and have a stepdad who is a hardcore 0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:36.280 army guy, it can be even harder. Over and over 0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:40.080 again over the years, I heard the phrase don't do 0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:43.560 a half assed job, do it right the first time. 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:48.400 No matter what the chore was, it was never right 0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:52.720 the first time because I always apparently did it half asked. 0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:57.480 I've always wondered where that phrase came from. Can you 0:21:57.560 --> 0:22:01.480 please enlighten us? Thank you for not just being an 0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:04.680 entertain show, but an educational one as well. The Real 0:22:04.760 --> 0:22:08.920 Fifth Hour podcast deserves a Marconi Award for. 0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:13.000 That, if nothing else. I don't think they give the 0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:15.960 Marconi to podcasts. 0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:18.800 There's like podcast awards, but the only podcasts that ever 0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:22.800 seem to win those are like Joe Rogan, Travis Kelcey. 0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:27.520 Like the biggest named people win podcast awards. Even at 0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:34.200 our company, iHeart like the top money makers in terms 0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:36.359 of the people they pay the most money to. They're 0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:40.680 the ones that end up winning all the podcast awards. 0:22:40.960 --> 0:22:43.359 But I would love to win some dopey award. I 0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:47.719 feel like the chicken figures named after me is big enough. 0:22:47.760 --> 0:22:52.200 But thanks to Marcus. This is from Marcus in San Antonio. 0:22:52.320 --> 0:22:59.080 So Marcus, thank you, thank you, thank you. Now Marcus, 0:22:59.480 --> 0:23:01.680 to get to the meat of the matter, Marcus, the 0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:04.399
