And why 16 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: don't we start out going right into the pop culture world. 17 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: What do you say? Yes, John, John, thank you, Ohio. 18 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: So these are some of the stories I most likely 19 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: did not get mentioned at least on on my show. 20 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: But these are things in the real world and we 21 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: will react to them in real time. And here's a 22 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: new fad that is going around. This comes out of 23 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: New York, but apparently it's going on elsewhere. It's called 24 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: master dating, not master the other thing, master master. Have 25 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: you heard of master dating, Danny? 26 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 3: No? 27 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:54,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, So this is a new phenomena, or at least 28 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: so it says. So the Internet says it is the 29 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: practice of lavishing ones with choice gifts, treats, and outings 30 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: in an effort to establish a healthy sense of self 31 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: sufficiency before entering into a serious relationship with someone else. 32 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: So essentially, essentially what you're doing is you're taking yourself 33 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: out on dates. 34 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 4: Yes, I have seen a few different girls on Facebook 35 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 4: and Instagram doing this, but they didn't have a title 36 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 4: for it. Also, you probably have seen this on social 37 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 4: media where it shows the guy or the girl and 38 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 4: they have two slips of paper in their hand and 39 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 4: they have their significant other choose one and like one 40 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 4: says Taco bell and the other one says five star restaurant, 41 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 4: And based on whichever hand they pick, that's where they 42 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 4: lead them to on their date. 43 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 3: Oh, I've seen. 44 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 4: Girls doing this, but they're doing it for themselves. Well, 45 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 4: I don't need a man. I'm gonna take myself to 46 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 4: a five star meal. 47 00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you, this is one of those 48 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 1: things I was ahead of my time, Danny, and I 49 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: would like to thank all the women that would not 50 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: date me in my younger days. But I was a master, 51 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: the master dating thing. I had that down because I 52 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: had to lavish myself with gifts and food and outings 53 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: because the opposite sex had pretty much boycotted me for 54 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: a number of years. So I was ahead of the 55 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: curb on this one. I was out in front of that. 56 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: I mastered that back in. 57 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 3: The day you were, Chris Jackson. 58 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was way out in front of that.

The Cowboys became the nickname. 178 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: But their mascot was based off a famous photo of 179 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: Pistol Pete and that's what their mascot, I guess, is 180 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: based on him. 181 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 3: So wow, their version of Buffalo Bill. 182 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. 183 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. 184 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 4: When I visited Wyoming, I went to the Buffalo Bill 185 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 4: Center of the West and it was a really cool museum, 186 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 4: lots of guns. 187 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 3: I loved it. 188 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: When I think of Buffalo Bill. I think of Prim, 189 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: Nevada on the way to Vegas, Buffalo Bill's resort right 190 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: there in Prim right on state line, losers. That's what 191 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: I think of. All right, Next up, what do we have? 192 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: A woman in Springfield, Missouri was arrested this week first 193 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,959 Speaker 1: degree arson. The fire department there claims she poured gasoline 194 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: on some clothes. She then lit a spicy tortilla chip 195 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:39,239 Speaker 1: to start the fire. So, of all the ignition devices 196 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: eight I liked that she didn't just use a regular 197 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: tortilla chip. She used a spicy tortilla chip. 198 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 3: Oh, so those chips are replacing bick. 199 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. You know, you don't need matches or 200 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: anything like that or a lighter. You're good to go. 201 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: You are absolutely good to go. Well, here's a story 202 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: that will warm your heart. Danny, I hate this now. 203 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium got of the regular straws. They have paper 204 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: straws because take care of people. And I hate paper 205 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: strap Oh it's terrible, and you got to have like 206 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: seven of them. So now there's a new study out, 207 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: but we're saving the environment. Well, now paper straws are 208 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: being canceled. Scientists are saying that echo friendly utensils like 209 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: straws contain potentially toxic chemicals and they claim they're just 210 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: as bad for the environment as plastic versions. So now 211 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,199 Speaker 1: we have to cancel the paper straw Also. 212 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 3: This is one time we're happy that something is getting canceled. 213 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: Bring back the plastic, Bring back the plastic straws. And 214 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: this is more mostly a California problem, I think, Danny, 215 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: and maybe a California New York thing, because in a 216 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: lot of other places they don't have to deal with 217 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: this kind of nonsense. But it's one of the great 218 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: things we have about living where we live. And good 219 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,959 Speaker 1: news or bad news. The good news is if you 220 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: like radio act to waste, you'd be very happy with 221 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: this story. The bad news is if you want to 222 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: eat food, you're probably not gonna like it. The people 223 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: over in Japan have dumped one point three million tons 224 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:19,119 Speaker 1: of radioactive waste from the famous nuclear power plant meltdown 225 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: into the Pacific Ocean. They have dumped one point three 226 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: million tons of radioactive waste, water and whatnot right out 227 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: into the mighty Pacific Ocean. What could possibly go wrong? 228 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 3: What is that like a five hundred dollars fine? 229 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly now. They claim, I love this. They claim 230 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: that they've they've followed all the guidelines and all the rules, 231 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: and everything's good here. There's nothing to see and everything 232 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: will be all right. So they say, Danny, So they say, 233 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: and my theory. And Brian Bilick mentioned this on the 234 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: Friday podcast. You know, it's the theory of the world. 235 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: Nobody knows anything. People think they know, and they can 236 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: give a masterclass about what they think they know and 237 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: give webinars and all that and give lectures, but ultimately 238 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: nobody knows anything. 239 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 3: So yeah, says a guy who spent two years dodging us. 240 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: Two years. Let's get to the mail bag. What do 241 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: you say? It's mail bag?

We may do that. Dan from Durham, 249 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: North Carolina. Right, since so Helo, Ben and Daddy G 250 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: Daddy are people driving crazy fast on the interstate highways 251 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: there on the West coast post pandemic. Here in North Carolina, 252 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: if you're going less than ten miles over the speed limit, 253 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: you better be in the slow lane, says Dan, as 254 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: it's turning into the Autobahn. So Dan, I would like 255 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: to file a formal complaint, Dan, because I was in 256 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: North Carolina not that long ago, and the speed limits 257 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: are way too low. So I side with the drivers 258 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: going ten miles over the speed limit in North Carolina. 259 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: In LA where we are, it is very difficult most 260 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: of the time to drive over the speed limit because 261 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: there's so much traffic. But when I go into work, 262 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: I do the overnight show. So when I go into work, 263 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: it is like people are in Fast and the Furious. 264 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: It is a life movie. Everyone's trying to outdo each 265 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: other and change lanes as fast as you can. It 266 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: is the Autobahn is what it is in many respects Dan. 267 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: It's it's craziness. 268 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not gonna hate on driving fast because, as 269 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 4: you know, Ben, I have a need for speed. 270 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: I drive, I drive. You know my Michi gos Danny, 271 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: I had a cop tell me one time seventy nine 272 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: a under, I won't give you a ticket. The only 273 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: time I've gotten a ticket since then is in Minnesota. 274 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: But in California I haven't gotten a ticket. And the 275 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: other places I've been, I didn't get a ticket in 276 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: Boston or you know, any of those New England states 277 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: I drove through, so seventy nine another, but yeah, there 278 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: are people I go seventy nine and I get past, 279 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: like I'm going five miles an hour. 280 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 4: Crazy these cars nowadays, they'll tattle on you. Because I 281 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 4: was at Jiffy Loube a few days ago, and you know, 282 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 4: after they change the oil, they reset your dashboard for you, 283 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 4: the electronic dashboard. 284 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, as I was stepping. 285 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 4: On the gas pedal and the guy was looking through 286 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 4: my electronic dash it said highest speed recorded one hundred 287 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 4: and ten miles per hour. Oh really, that's in there 288 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 4: when I did that, or which day or night that was. 289 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 4: But the guy kind of stopped and looked at it, 290 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 4: and then he's like okay, and he kept moving up 291 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 4: seeing him, Well, you. 292 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: Were trying to get your your wife to the hospital 293 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: for the baby. Wrong, clearly that was the move. Next 294 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: up Alf the Alien Old Pineer from week one of 295 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 1: the NFL season, says Ben you know me well enough. 296 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 1: That's correct. I know al very well. Alf's been one 297 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 1: of the great p ones of the show over the years, 298 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: and I would say the most loyal. He listened while 299 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: on a family vacation at a Disney resort in Orlando. 300 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 1: He stayed up to listen to the live show. That's dedication. 301 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 3: That is dedication. 302 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 1: My evergreen question is what in the hell is going 303 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: on with Benny versus the Penny? Spill the tea and 304 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,919 Speaker 1: he says, secondly, you know that I read between the 305 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: lines and listen between the words. So the breadcrumbs you've 306 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: been dropping about your Northeast barnstorming tour are killing me? 307 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: Would you like to expand on the subject. So, Al, 308 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: these are great questions. There is nothing to release at 309 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: this moment. I will tell you that if everything goes 310 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: the way it is going, there will be some kind 311 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: of Benny Versus the Penny announcement, probably on the upcoming 312 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: Friday podcast. Danny, I think that's next week's podcast. 313 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 4: This sounds very similar to me teasing the Animal Thunderdome 314 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 4: with Klay Traviss. 315 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: Well, it feels like that, and you were, of course 316 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: the Penny last year on this podcast. You did a 317 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 1: great job representing the penny and we've done this bit 318 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: for many, many years and there there may or may 319 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: not be something brewing. I don't know for sure, and 320 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: so we'll we'll see what happens. And as far as 321 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 1: the Northeast Barnstorming Tour, I am not able to disclose 322 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: exactly what that was about. But when the time is 323 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: right and when I get the green light and everything 324 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: is taking care of the way it's supposed to be 325 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: taken care of it, if it needs to be taken 326 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: care of, I will let you know. Alf of course 327 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: I will. Why would I not like what am I? 328 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: You know, I just can't. I can't talk about a 329 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: lot of this stuff right now, obviously because of there's 330 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: certain reasons I can't. 331 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 4: Boy after that explanation, we all need fifth Hour podcast 332 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 4: to Cooder rings. 333 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 3: I know. 334 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: I know. Well. The problem too is I'm definitely in 335 00:19:54,320 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: the closet. Yeah, I mean, there's a method the madness, 336 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 1: that's all I'll say. There's a method of the madness. 337 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: But there's nothing bad. It's not bad. It might be 338 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: really good, or it might be the status quo. Maybe 339 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: you'll hear Danny G and me back on the Fifth 340 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 1: Hour podcast doing Benny versus the Penny or maybe not. 341 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'll get some clarity on that, 342 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: hopefully very soon. Alf So fingers crossed. Keep the fingers 343 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: crossed on that. And next up, let's see who wrote 344 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: this one in I didn't write the name now, I says, Hi, 345 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: Ben and Daddy Og sorry to not oh oh this 346 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: is this is Mike. No relation to ferg Cat, no 347 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: relation Mike and Fulloton. He says, sorry. I did not 348 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: make it to the meet and greet last week. Ben. 349 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: I was convinced that crooked Hurricane Hillary would flood the 350 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,479 Speaker 1: entire state of California. So I spent the weekend building 351 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: a boat out of tennis balls with my roommate. Well, 352 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: very impressive, he says. Were you guys worried about the 353 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 1: hurricane at all or did you know it was just 354 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: going to be a little rain. Well, I was mildly 355 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: concerned because Iowa Sam, Danny g the Great Iowa Sam 356 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: was convinced that we were all going to die. So 357 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: he was up selling the storm at work. And then 358 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,120 Speaker 1: I went on the internet and I saw some stories. 359 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: I was like, worst story, worse storm, since nineteen thirty nine, 360 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: and that that got me a little riled up. But 361 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: the problem is the media. Danny and I guess we're 362 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: part of the media, but the news media, their instincts 363 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: are to scare the shit out of everyone, and then 364 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,479 Speaker 1: they're like their whole business models, Well they'll watch longer 365 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: if they're scared, and then they just think there's no 366 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: fallout for being completely wrong, Like people don't grasp the 367 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: people in television news don't seem to grasp the fact 368 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: when you're completely wrong, you lose credibility, and people don't 369 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: pay attention the next time, and maybe the next time 370 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: they actually need to pay attention. 371 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 4: Yesterday's podcast on Saturday, make sure you download that. We 372 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 4: went into detail about the really funny coverage of the 373 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 4: local LATV news stations. 374 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, what's your favorite TV news station? Are you a 375 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: Channel five guy? Are you a Channel four? Channel two, 376 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,120 Speaker 1: Channel seven? Nine? Were you eleven? 377 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 4: They're all kind of just vanilla to me. Honestly, there's 378 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 4: not one channel where I'm like, oh, they do it 379 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 4: so much better. 380 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 3: It's all bullshit coverage to me. 381 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, I missed the big over the top ron Burgundy 382 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: like anchor. We don't really have much of that anymore. 383 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: That era of television is gone. But at one point 384 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles we had the greatest local television news. 385 00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,080 Speaker 1: It was amazing with Hal Fishman at Channel five, and 386 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: and Paul Moyer and all the other big names. Jerry 387 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: Dumphy just just wonderful TV people that were were great. 388 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: And you know, I don't watch too much local TV 389 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 1: news these days, but when I do watch it, it's lacking. 390 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: Its lacking a little bit. But remember Jerry Dumphy. His 391 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: famous line was, was it from from the desert to 392 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 1: the sea to all of southern California? Now, when there's 393 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: a car chase or something like that, I got one 394 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 1: of my buddies, Jay sends me every time there's a 395 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: car chase. I don't even need to watch he watched. 396 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: He must watch local TV news all day because I'll 397 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: get messages at one o'clock in the afternoon while I'm sleeping. 398 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 1: I'll get messages at nine o'clock at night early in 399 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: the morning. Hey, there's a chase on Channel nine. You 400 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 1: gotta turn it around. I'm all right. Whatever. 401 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 4: Best part is when a retired sheriff joins them on 402 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,199 Speaker 4: the phone to explain the pit maneuver. 403 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's they get those guys on retainer there. 404 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: And well, it's like I mentioned Hal Fishman, who was 405 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: an anchor at Channel five and he was a pilot, 406 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: so he loved when there was any kind of aviation issue, 407 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: there was a problem with the plane, you know there 408 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,959 Speaker 1: the landing gear wouldn't go down. So they remember one 409 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 1: time I was watching the news, they had the camera 410 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: on the plane and they had they Hal would tell everyone. 411 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 1: Then he'd brings somebody else in who was also a pilot. 412 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: They'd go back and forth. Mike also says, Danny G 413 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 1: I'm a little disappointed you did not name your kid 414 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: Michael after I suggested, but he says it made you 415 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: made the right decision not naming him alf or even worse, 416 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: Muffett McGraw truly terrible names. Well, that was your backup plan, right, 417 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: Muffett was the backup plan, Danny. Either Bartholomew, well, that 418 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: would have been great. Bartholomew. Another bart Ozzie was Western 419 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: Australia Rights, and he said, my mates Big Ben and 420 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: new Dad Daddy G. So he says, So the Super Bowl, 421 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: he says, is on at seven in the morning where 422 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 1: I live, and we go to the casino about five 423 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: thirty to get a table and we start to have 424 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,679 Speaker 1: a few beers and we continue throughout the day. So 425 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: my question is what would be the earliest you would 426 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 1: crack a beer for a major sporting event if you 427 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: lived in our time zone. At the moment, we are 428 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: twelve hours ahead of your East Coast, So twelve hours. 429 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so that's middle of the night. NFL football 430 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: game starts at one o'clock on the East Coast and 431 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: it's one am in Western Australia. Yes, I'm not a 432 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 1: big like morning. I don't know. I don't think I 433 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: would be into that drinking in the morning. Maybe when 434 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: I was younger, but I'm not a big drinker anyway, Danny, 435 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: would you pop a few? If the Raiders play in London? 436 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: Are you cracking all? And that's our equivalent of that 437 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: on the West Coast because the games start at like 438 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: six in the morning. 439 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 4: You know, I've been wine tasting with my girl before 440 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 4: and we had fun. We felt a little bit out 441 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 4: of place, but once we got you know, a little 442 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 4: buzz going, it was fun. Day drinking is underrated. I'd 443 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 4: rather drink in the daytime, I think than at night 444 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 4: because it just it ends your night too soon. I'll 445 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 4: say that, because you feel tired when you have too 446 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 4: much wine or booze in you. In the daytime, you 447 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 4: get flow and you're not tired yet. With football. There 448 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 4: used to be a place called Yankee Doodles in Woodland Hills. 449 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: Remember that I've been. I used to go there back 450 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: in then. That was a famous hangout spot in Woodland Hills. 451 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I lived there in Woodland Hills for a 452 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 4: decade before I moved to Burbank, and that was the 453 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 4: go to spot for Sunday football. I would go there 454 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 4: for the morning games at ten am and they would 455 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 4: be serving breakfast and brew, so I would have a 456 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 4: Guinness with my scrambled eggs. 457 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 3: It was awesome. 458 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: The good old is whatever happened that's place is gone, 459 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: long gone. Yankee Doodles. 460 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 4: There's both those that place and there are brand new 461 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 4: restaurants and stores and it's an extension of the mall 462 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 4: there now. 463 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 1: No, All right, well that's no, I don't need that. 464 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: I missed those old sports where we had the National 465 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 1: Sports Bar. We used to do remotes at those places 466 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,959 Speaker 1: in Orange County that were great, and they were all 467 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 1: over the place in southern California, these big, beautiful sports 468 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 1: bars were great and they all went away too. Wah 469 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,479 Speaker 1: wan right say, he says, did you ever hook up 470 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: with someone just because you hung around a team? Ben 471 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 1: with the Dodgers, So, you know, I did hang around. 472 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 1: I was friends with a lot of the relief pitchers, 473 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: and those guys like to booze it up, and you know, 474 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: let's just say I did not pitch a toe shut 475 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: out in that in that period of time because the guys, 476 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: the guys felt pity on me. It was more than anything. 477 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: There they would try to try to help grease things along. 478 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: The problem with that, though, I noticed one is that 479 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 1: a lot of the young ladies that you would come 480 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: across on the road, they really were not interested in me. 481 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: They just wanted to use me as a vehicle to 482 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 1: get to whoever on the team they wanted to hook 483 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: up with. So that became problematic. That was that was 484 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 1: a bit of an issue that I had to deal with. 485 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,199 Speaker 1: But I mean, that was great, great memories on that 486 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: and it was wonderful and you were just a young middleman. 487 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, in a way, and I still get 488 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: a kick out of the fact these guys who are 489 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: major League baseball players, we'd go to on the road 490 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: to different cities and to get in through the velvet 491 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: you know, the behind the velvet ropes and all that, 492 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: the red carpet, they would have to flash their baseball card. 493 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: They keep their baseball card in their wallet to prove 494 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: who they were, to show they were ballplayers, because these 495 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: were not big names. These were mid relief pitchers and 496 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: guys back into the bullpen, or the front end of 497 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: the bullpen, rather. 498 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 4: Moved back then would have been to convinced tops somehow 499 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 4: to make your own card. 500 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: That would have been cool, man. But they would say 501 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: they would lie and say it was like the bullpen 502 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: catcher and stuff like that, and not that that's any 503 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: more an attractive thing, I guess. Robert writes and says, 504 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: what happened tode Tammy in Montana. Tammy is fine, Robert. 505 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: She still listens to the podcast from what I've heard, 506 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: but she is working the dreaded day shift and she's 507 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: working some odd hours, so she's been unable to call 508 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: the show. We missed Tammy. It's been a tough couple 509 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: of months. For regular callers, Tammy Felexus has been unable 510 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: to call the show and also hollering James some big 511 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: name callers, but that happens. We go through different eras 512 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 1: on the show. We have some big name people leave us, 513 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: and then we get new stars and just the EBB 514 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: and flow doing the show all these years. People come 515 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: and go, but we've had some people with us a 516 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: long time, and we've still got a lot of people 517 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: with us. But some of the regulars have stopped calling 518 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 1: as often as they did back in the day because 519 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 1: their life circumstances have changed. Felexis has a few medical 520 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: issues and hollering James keeps breaking his phone, which is 521 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 1: a problem. So it's a bit of an issue. Andy 522 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: the Comic Book Guy writes, and he says, what is 523 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: the What is one of the best pranks you guys 524 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: pulled as kids? Andy says, I was great meeting you, 525 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: Andy the Comic Book Guy, as I mentioned in a 526 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: previous episode, really impressed with your comic book store. Anyway, 527 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 1: to answer the question, there were a lot of pranks. 528 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: The one that I would like to share as a 529 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: radio prank that I pulled on my younger brother and 530 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: you might actually know this. I don't know if I've 531 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: told this story on this podcast with you, Danny, but 532 00:30:58,440 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: years ago there was a guy in the Bay Area, 533 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: and Ralph Barbieri who was a sports talk show host 534 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: in San Francisco. 535 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 3: I know that name, Yeah, yeah, yeah. 536 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: He was in the Barrier a long time. So now 537 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: I didn't live in Northern California, but at night CANBR, 538 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 1: I was a radio nerd, so I'd listened to faraway 539 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: radio stations. This before the Internet. You can listen to 540 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: any station you want on the iHeartRadio app. But back 541 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: in those days, you wanted to hear a faraway station, 542 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: you had to scan the dial and the furthest away 543 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: we could get was like Northern California, Saint George, Utah, Phoenix, 544 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: Las Vegas. Living in southern California, so I'd scan. In fact, 545 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: even my mom even bought me this thing. Art Bell 546 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: had an advertiser you could buy this antenna that would 547 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: help you get far away radio stations. So I would 548 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: listen sometimes to CANBR at night, and they had the 549 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: Giants games, and I hear the postgame store. And Ralph 550 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: Barbieria was a guy on that station, and he had 551 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: a famous sign off to his broadcast that he used 552 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: every single time he signed off, he had the same 553 00:31:58,880 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: sentence that he used. 554 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:00,479 Speaker 2: So I was. 555 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: We happen to be in northern California at a family 556 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: function with my younger brother who now lives in Wisconsin, 557 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 1: and so I, being the radio nerd that I was, 558 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: I had the radio on, I was listening to the 559 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: radio and it was just me and him. My parents 560 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: were at doing something, and so I made a bet 561 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: with my much younger brother and the bet was, listen, 562 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna bet you that this guy on the radio 563 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: is going to say, Remember what was the line, Angels take, 564 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: angels fly because they take themselves lightly? I think was 565 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: the the line. And so my my brother, there's no way. 566 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: It's a sports show, you know, and no one's gonna 567 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 1: no one's gonna say that. You know, you're you're of course, 568 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: So we made this bet. It was big bet, and 569 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: and sure enough I was a little concerned because he 570 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: didn't didn't say it when he normally did. But at 571 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: the end he said angels fly because they take themselves lightly, 572 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: and that that really pissed off my younger brother. That 573 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: we upset him. We had to defuse the situation. He 574 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 1: was very upset that he had a kind of a 575 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: primal scream that he let out any good pranks you remember, Danny, 576 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 1: that you'd like to share with the class. 577 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 4: I remember my older brother and I in rialto California. 578 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 3: We loved April Fool's Day. 579 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 4: Didn't like the punishment after the prank we tried to 580 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 4: pull on my mom, though. My older brother had a 581 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 4: great idea. He's like, all right, you run inside and 582 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 4: act like you're really scared and tell mom that I 583 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 4: crashed my BMX bike. He brought some ketchup outside and 584 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 4: poured it all over the sidewalk in a pool, and 585 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 4: then he strategically placed his bike and his body to 586 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 4: make it look like he cracked his head. Oh boy, 587 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 4: So I go inside screaming about how he crashed his bike. 588 00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 4: My mom comes out to see him laying in a 589 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 4: heat next to this pool of red, and she's freakingly 590 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 4: f out.
