I don't know the Giscon. 70 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: He comes across as a tough guy, but I don't know. 71 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: If you got into a fight, I don't know. I 72 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: think I could trust you more in a fight against 73 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: the dictator, so i'd take you. But if I just 74 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: sacrifice someone, I'd go with Giscon.

I Guesscon 80 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: when we were doing the podcast together, hand the god here, 81 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: so he got he was trying to get a better, 82 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: like a TV job, and he got offered a job 83 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: in like West Virginia. I told him to go to 84 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: Western I said, go to West Virginia, you know, and 85 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 1: it's just a d go there for a few months, 86 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: a year or whatever. You'll get a better job. After that, 87 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: he got offered a job for a company that was 88 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: like based in China, to do American news in China. 89 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: And I should go to China. Think how cheap everything is. 90 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: He didn't listen. He never listens. Never listen to help 91 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: him out. He never lists. How dare him name on him? 92 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: But anyway, that's a good question from sweet Potato. Bob 93 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: Glenn in Chicago writes, and he says, hey, Ben and Danny, 94 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: g what's the deal with Dan Patrick and his van 95 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: that is a Mercedes? Does he plan on living in 96 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: one when he retires or is he shipping his dad 97 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: ads on a never ending road trip. That's a great question. 98 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: That's that commercial from the Dan Patrick Show has gotten 99 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: more play. It is pretty funny, Like Dan is a 100 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: big TV star. He makes an s low the money's 101 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: very wealthy, very successful, and he's promoting a sleeper van. 102 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: It's very odd to me. I agree, I agree to. 103 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: It's that you don't expect Dan Patrick, the TV star 104 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: of your childhood on ESPN, and you know he's got 105 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: a simulcast on radio and TV doing that that show 106 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: They Deals. You don't expect him to be pitching an RV, 107 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 1: you know, a form of an RV. But good for 108 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: him in your long successful radio career. Have you done 109 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 1: live remotes from a car lot any? Yes, yes, I've done. 110 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 1: I did remote from a Jiffy lube. I did remote 111 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: from a car dealership. Um A lows a lot of 112 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: sports bars, a lot of restaurants. The craziest probably was 113 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,559 Speaker 1: the Jiffy Loube. Why we did one from a donut shop, 114 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: a Winchell's donut Shop, which big chain out west here, 115 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: and they claimed it was the largest donut shop west 116 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 1: of the Mississippi. And we we got locked out of 117 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: the place. They weren't open when we got there, so 118 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: we drove around the radio station. Had they had made 119 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: this van and maybe it looked like a like an ambulance. 120 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: They called it the Emergency Sports Ambulance and they had 121 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: lights on it and the whole thing was so cheesy, 122 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: but we we drove around the promotional van. You weren't 123 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: allowed to actually turn the lights on because it's not 124 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: an official emergency vehicle. But you guys are like the 125 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: sports Busters. We may or may not have turned the 126 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: lights on just for us and giggles to see what happened. 127 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: I'm not saying we did. I'm not saying we didn't. 128 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,239 Speaker 1: Plus Danny the statue of limitations, as has long passed 129 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: on that FM radio station work comes with a lot 130 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: of Saturdays or Sundays at or holidays at a car 131 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: dealership doing alive remote And for most DJs, you moan 132 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: and grown when you see that coming up on the calendar, 133 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: because it's hard to draw listeners to the car dealership 134 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: because they know as soon as they walk onto the 135 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: lot they're gonna get pounced on by salespeople. Sure. I 136 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: remember one summer in Ventura, California, I decided, okay, you 137 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: know what, so that I could get some listeners here 138 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: the way I'll give my concert tickets away today. I 139 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: set up a marker and like a starting line where 140 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: the listeners stood at. I had the salespeople take turns 141 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: standing at the marker. I filled up a big thing 142 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: of water balloons, and I had the listeners tried to 143 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: hit the sales guys. Yeah, if we were able to 144 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 1: hit a salesperson, you got concert tickets. So that kind 145 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 1: of became our long running bit there in Southern California. 146 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: That part of Southern California was to abuse the sales 147 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: people on the lot. That's great, A like it. Yeah, 148 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: that was about the only way listeners would show up. Yeah, 149 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: I do remember that. I was like, because you know, 150 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: the sales department would always promise a ton of listeners, 151 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna show up. The reality is that's bullshit. Uh, 152 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: you know, usually depending on the time it is and 153 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: all that. I have a great So I don't have 154 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: time to tell it now. Somebody wants to email at 155 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: a future show about how I caused an automobile accident 156 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 1: at a remote I was doing years ago. Well, I 157 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: don't get into that right now. Who else do we 158 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: have on the email? Let's see here, page Dan, page, Dan, 159 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: can't I can't see that. Let's see what do we 160 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: have here? Alright? Come back, it's time we're doing that. 161 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: Pierre and Springfield mass and he is the man the 162 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: mythel legend Alfie and you know Pineary. He says, just 163 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: for the record, I will wear it is a badge 164 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: of honor that I was called a jackass on over 165 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: four hundred affiliates for stoking the mailbag fire of the 166 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: Mallard Militia. He also says, for the record, the previous 167 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: week you asked for new blood, which may have scared 168 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: off some of the regulars. That's probably true. Finally, my 169 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: question for both of you is would be this, what 170 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: is on the menu in your respective homes for the 171 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: championship games a k. The Final four? As Ben would say, Well, Danny, 172 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: you're in Vegas, so that's off the table. And uh, 173 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: you know, I might be at the game today. We'll see. 174 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: You'll see how that goes here, depending on traffic and 175 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: logistics and all that. And if that's the case, Uh, Pierre, 176 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: I will I will make sure to pause my fast 177 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: to partake in a bunch of free free media food. 178 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: And the Rams I have noticed better food than the Chargers. 179 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: They both are in the same stadium. It is the 180 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: same company that does the concessions, but the Rams take 181 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: care of their people better than the Charges. Whatever. That's 182 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: so I've gone to so far. They are in need 183 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: of some good food trucks out in front of the stadium. 184 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: Lacking a little bit there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm 185 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,599 Speaker 1: sure it'll get better as the years go on, hopefully. 186 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: And then Ben, one question for you. I after the 187 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: baseball tournament, I'm gonna have time to see the Rams 188 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 1: game in Vegas. So should I do the sports book thing? 189 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: Like we talked about on yesterday's podcast. Is there you know, 190 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: like good food adjacent to a good sports book. Yeah? 191 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: I used to love the Aria sports Book. Uh, but 192 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: I haven't been to Vegas in a couple of years, 193 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: so I already had a great sports book. Caesar's did, 194 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: but I think they cut their's back. Caesar's Palace, I 195 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: don't think it's a big as it used to be. 196 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: But I was a big fan of the r They 197 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: had big, cushy seats and it was it was really cool. 198 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: But there's a lot of really cool sports books depending 199 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: on what part of the trip you go to and 200 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: and all that. So now, would you like to borrow 201 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,839 Speaker 1: a couple of thousand dollars from me? And I can 202 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,839 Speaker 1: put that on Matt Stafford for you right now? Well, 203 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to. I don't want to 204 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: jinx anyone. As you know, Danny, it's not my style 205 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: to be that guy. I would do. The sports fan 206 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: insurance is what I would do, where you know, you 207 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: bet the other way, you bet on the Niners and 208 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 1: you hope you'll lose, and it's only you know who cares. 209 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,559 Speaker 1: You lose a few bucks, but you're happy because your 210 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: team won, and then it covers you. If your team loses, 211 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: then you win a little bit of money, so you're like, Okay, 212 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: at least I want to be a little bit of money. 213 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,439 Speaker 1: So it's not all it's not all bad. Sports fan 214 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: insurance is the way to go. Yeah, that's not a 215 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: bad idea. Alright, moving on, here we go. Yes, let's 216 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: go to Ozzy Momentum. The legendary Ozzi Momentum says Hi, 217 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: Ben and Danny. So I am very lucky to have 218 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: a lovely wife and young daughter. Who knew that Ozzy 219 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: Momentum had a wife and a young daughter. You learned 220 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: something new every day, he says. The only thing with 221 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: this is that my wife likes very nice and expensive things. 222 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,439 Speaker 1: It seems like my daughter has picked up this trade. Well, 223 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,719 Speaker 1: of course I learned it's in the d N a uh, 224 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: he says for me. Ozzy Mominham says, it's to the 225 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: point of, you know, the point of spending the money 226 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: more than having the supply of money. That's the issue. 227 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: So I guess he's got the money, but he's just 228 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: like spending the money. What creative ways, if any, have 229 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: you come up with to curb the spending traits of 230 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 1: the significant women in your lives without enacting World War three? 231 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: I need help though. The spending habits of my girls 232 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: have helped me to justify the huge costs to call 233 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: your show from Australia, he says, Yeah, it's not free 234 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: to call international, which I guess is somewhat of a consolation. Well, Ozzy, momentum, 235 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: God speed to you. Uh. The My advice on this 236 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: is probably the worst advice you'll ever get, is to 237 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: just just block it out, just put blinders up, living 238 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: a vacuum, and just try not to think about it. 239 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: Um and and the good thing is good or bad. 240 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: At some point, we're all gonna visit the pearly gates, right, 241 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: that's it, lights and then all our financial issues go away, right, 242 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: we hit the reset. But so everything's temporary, right, everything 243 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: as long as you have food on your plate and 244 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: a roof over your head, you let them. Let them 245 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: enjoy life, because it'll be gone before you know. That's 246 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: my advice. What about you to a certain point, we 247 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: work hard so that we could, you know, live life 248 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: and enjoy it. On the other hand, if you're trying 249 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: to save a little bit of money, and we talked 250 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: about this back in the day on Tenderoni Tips a 251 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: couple of different times, I would say, put a goal 252 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: out there, whether it's a cruise flight to the Bahamas 253 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: or Hawaii, disney World or something like that. If you say, 254 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: all right, in six months, we're gonna go here to 255 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: this destination and you have something to focus in on, 256 00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: then that's when a family doesn't mind tightening their belt. Okay, 257 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: we don't need a lot of the extras. We can 258 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: get by on the basics and still enjoy life and 259 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: save money at the same time. Just try to have 260 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: some goals out there with you and your family so 261 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: that you can save some money here and there. Yeah, 262 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: that's that's a good idea for sure, for sure, and 263 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: try to encourage all right, you're gonna spend money, but 264 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: let's try to save a little extra every month, like 265 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: put it away and and you know, do this, but 266 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: just the same thing pretty much, you said, but just 267 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: have have a little bit of an emergency fund, a 268 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: rainy day fund, if you will, that kind of thing. 269 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: But that is a tough one. Next one is from 270 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: Marty in Ashland, Oregon. He writes, and he says, Hey, Ben, 271 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: this Angry Bill guy is quite the character who dubbed 272 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: him that moniker? Was it you or someone else? Curious 273 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: minds would like to know. That's from Marty, Well, Marty 274 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: in beautiful Ashland, Oregon. The answer to the Angry Bill 275 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: conundrum was Bill started calling me many years ago, and 276 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: it was around the time the way he got the nickname. 277 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: As I remember it, there was this great debate about 278 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: putting nets up at baseball stadiums because for a hundred 279 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: years they were able to play baseball without nets, and 280 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: people would get hit and it wasn't that big a deal, 281 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: but people were getting hit and they were going to 282 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: the hospital. Some people died as a result of this, 283 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: and so they decided baseball out of an abundance they 284 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: say of caution, but really out of an abundance of 285 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: lawyers giving them advice saying what are you doing in 286 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: my slab? Yeah? What are you doing there? And so 287 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: they decided to put netting up, and I was anti netting. 288 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: I'm still anti nitting and still bothers me when I 289 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: go to a ballpark and I I see the netting 290 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: up and it just annoys me. But Bill called up 291 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: from Jacksonville before he was angry Bill Marty and started 292 00:16:55,720 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: screaming at me, what about a nine year old? And 293 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: that was that was his claim to fame and he did, 294 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 1: he were and he was complete lunatic, right, a complete lunatic. 295 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: I was there for that, and I put that famous 296 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: drop into the system. What about a nine year old girl? 297 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: That is one of the better drops over the years. 298 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: And a lot of it is because of the question 299 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,439 Speaker 1: you just read. People don't know and what context it 300 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: was said or why that came about. But you're right, 301 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: like adults sometimes have their phones stuck to their face 302 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: out of game and they could get hit by a baseball. 303 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: We don't really care about that because they deserve it. 304 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: But when it's a kid getting hit by a ball, well, 305 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: the reason they put the netting up, though, is really 306 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: because of the the lawsuit thing. They were the Dodgers there 307 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: was an older woman they got hit and I think 308 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: she passed away at a die after it became a big, 309 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: a big to do Terry in England rights in one 310 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: of our international listeners also he says, what is the 311 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: story with Eddie's nicknames? Why did you suddenly stop using them? 312 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: Was it a management decision that's from Terry names. No, 313 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 1: there's no management decision. I think management even listens to 314 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: the show. If they listen to the show, Terry, I 315 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 1: would have been off the air within five years if 316 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: they actually listened to the show. But part of the 317 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: issue here, and as you know, Danny, because you produced 318 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: the show this week, because the show is popular and 319 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: we're doing better and we were, it's it's really the 320 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 1: problem is the success of the show. Before I didn't 321 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: do fifty live reads during the show. Now every two minutes, 322 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,199 Speaker 1: I've got a commercial I've got to read. And as 323 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 1: much as we love that and we do, it does 324 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: eat into the time. And so we decided, other than 325 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: just wasting all of our time reading Eddie's nicknames and 326 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: my nicknames, we cut back on that to where it's 327 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: rare and appropriate. We don't do it all the time, 328 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: but that's you know. That's because we actually have advertisers, 329 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: and we know for a while we didn't, but we do, 330 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: and so we like Ben.

And he this 380 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: he does say in in the city he's in there, 381 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: North Augusta, South Carolina, that a lot of the big 382 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: time golfers will rent out houses in that part when 383 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: they when they're planning in the tournament, they'll stay in 384 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: his neighborhood.

I don't know my niece probably doesn't 388 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: want me to visit her. She's in college over in Charleston. 389 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: She probably doesn't want Uncle Benny to come stopping by. 390 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 1: But I haven't seen her in a while. That'd be cool. Hang, 391 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: Apparently she loves Charleston. She thinks it's the greatest place 392 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: in the world. But all time eighties movie Uncle Buck, 393 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: Oh the Great Uncle Yeah, Benny pulling up in the 394 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: car that backfires, John candy Man, all right, Cubby fan Mike, write, 395 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: since this for both of you, what are two things 396 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: you hate about living in California? You can leave any 397 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: if you leave anywhere else where, would it be? I 398 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 1: hate the price of gas. I hate the taxes. I 399 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: hate the a lot of the politics I don't agree 400 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 1: with in California. Uh, the It just there's there's more 401 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: than two things, but the first two are the gas 402 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 1: and the taxes. I wouldn't mind paying the taxes as 403 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: much if I felt you actually got a lot of 404 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: bang for your buck. I don't think that's the case. 405 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: I think it's it's a ridiculous rip off, and I 406 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 1: I could spend that money better. Let's just say that. 407 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,360 Speaker 1: So what about you, Danny. You know we're both natives. Yep. 408 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: So I think the only thing I could add to 409 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: you is the out of towners who come in and 410 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,479 Speaker 1: think they can start running the city and sit on 411 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: the freeway and flip us off on our own freeway 412 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 1: kind of sucks. You know. There's not a lot of 413 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: things left here for Native Californians. No, there's not. And yeah, 414 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: you know it's the dudes that come in from like, 415 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 1: you know, they think they're gonna take over Hollywood and 416 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: all that and the entertainment business and yeah, you're not 417 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: gonna be a reality TV star, dude. Yeah, you're a 418 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: pimple on an elephant's ass, is what you are. And 419 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: the elephant is the size of the universe. Okay, pal 420 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: over populated, and I get it. You know, weather plays 421 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: a huge part. I'll never forget. I had a history 422 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,120 Speaker 1: professor and he told us that he was from Syracuse, 423 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 1: told us that he was up to his ass in snow, 424 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: and he turned on the Rose Bowl one year and 425 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: all of the people in the stands at the Rose 426 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: Bowl had their shirts off and we're basking in the sun, 427 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,880 Speaker 1: flipping off the TV like, fuck you guys out there. 428 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: But that's what made him drive across country and moved 429 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 1: to California. Yeah, and he put up with a lot 430 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,880 Speaker 1: of the Thannases. But we were from here, so we 431 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: if we go anywhere else where would we go? I 432 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 1: don't know. I love Boston. I got offered a job 433 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: in Boston to do radio, and I really considered it. 434 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 1: My wife didn't think it was such a great idea. 435 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: So here I am, but that that would have been fun. 436 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: I love the you know, the passion of the weather 437 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: would have been a freaking nightmare to adjust too, though. 438 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: Um I would need a swimming pool. But covering the 439 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: raiders in Vegas, right here where I'm at this weekend, 440 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: would be pretty nice. Yeah, Vegas. I could do Vegas. Phoenix. Yeah, 441 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: Phoenix wouldn't be bad. You have beautiful Sedona right there 442 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 1: close by. There's parts of Oregon that I like. Seattle's 443 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: beautiful too. Yeah, there's parts of the Pacific Northwest that 444 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: could be cool. And of course we've talked about it 445 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: on the podcast. Before retiring doing radio part time in Hawaii, Yeah, 446 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 1: oh boy, that could be the way to retire in radio. 447 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: Ben be like a program director of a small station 448 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: somewhere in Hawaii, and you got offered a job there, right, 449 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: didn't you back in the day, I sure did, and 450 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: I chose to stay in southern California instead. So in 451 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: the back of my mind, I'm always like, let me 452 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: go back to Hawaii someday and do radio there. Let's 453 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: see who is next year. It is the always popular 454 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,679 Speaker 1: mail bag. You've got mail, all right, Carlos and Houston 455 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: says Ben. Who makes someone part of the Fox Sports 456 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: Radio Alumni Association? How long do they have to work 457 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: at Fox Sports? Also, if we tried some of the 458 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: cooking with Roberto items I have Roberto when we were 459 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 1: all together in the studio, Roberto brought some in and uh, Tomal, 460 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: I remember the Tomali's, Amazing Tomali's, man of those good 461 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: Remember that in particular. I love Roberto's Tomali's that he made. Uh. 462 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: And the Alumni Associated, ironically enough, was started by Tom Looney, 463 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: the Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association. It was the charter 464 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,239 Speaker 1: member while he worked at Fox Sports Radio. And then 465 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 1: he had to start paying his dudes when they let 466 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 1: him go. Uh, and he moved. And so you know, 467 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: generally you have to spend It's not like if you 468 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: you go to the big leagues. And you're immediately you like, 469 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,719 Speaker 1: one day in the major leagues and you're involved in 470 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 1: the retirement fund whatever. It's not like that. Um. He 471 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: has been like, you know, a couple of months at least. Uh, 472 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: But we have we have a lot of members of 473 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: the more members of the Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association 474 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 1: than we have people that are at Fox Sports Radio 475 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: right now, so which will make sense. The company has 476 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 1: been around for twenty plus years, so I'm eight years in. 477 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: I can't imagine. What are you twenty two? Yeah, I 478 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,919 Speaker 1: don't want to think about it. Starting the numbers are 479 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,640 Speaker 1: startingetting like twenties cool, like the twenty year anniversity things cool. 480 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: But then it keeps adding on, you know, and then 481 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: you're now you're like, wait a minute, now this number. 482 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: You don't want to say the number because you're like, wow, 483 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: that's way too long, you know. I saw David Aldridge 484 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: when the Wizards blew that game to the Clippers this week, 485 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 1: he said, in my forty years of covering the NBA, 486 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, I don't know if i'd say that. 487 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: Keep it at twenty. You know, twenty plus years. In 488 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: a couple of decades, I've been doing this yeah, it 489 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 1: sounds a little bit. I talked to T. J. Reeves 490 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 1: before the Rams Bucks game. He's part of the Fox 491 00:27:54,160 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 1: Sports Radio Alumni Association. The sidelines of the Buccaneers did 492 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,679 Speaker 1: play by play, uh and when the Bucks played Carolina, 493 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: and the play by play guy for the Buccaneers had 494 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:14,719 Speaker 1: the COVID at the last minute and so fire the Cannons. 495 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 1: Gene decker Hoff couldn't do the game, and so they 496 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: had to go to the bench and they called in 497 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: out of the bullpen. Our friend T. J Reeve, quick 498 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: alumni question for you, because you might know the answer 499 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 1: to this. The fellas in the production studio last week, 500 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,640 Speaker 1: we're trying to think of a host name. He used 501 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 1: to fill in once in a while on your show. 502 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,479 Speaker 1: He was out of Vegas, and he was famous for 503 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: very long pauses. Does that ring a bell? He would 504 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: be talking, he had your usual good radio voice, but 505 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: then he would go, yeah, so Aaron Rodgers, oh you 506 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: know you have to. I mean the pauses would literally 507 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: be four or five seconds long. We would always think 508 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: we were off the air. Oh wow, so even longer 509 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: like than gotlie, even longer than yeah, I would say 510 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: about he averaged a second longer than Gottlieb, you know. 511 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: Off the top of my head, I don't I don't 512 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: know who that is. I have to man, there's been 513 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: a lot of twenty years. There's been a lot of 514 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: people that have filled in. How long ago was this? 515 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: But had to have been five six years. We we 516 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: asked Eddie and he knew who we were talking about, 517 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: but he couldn't think of the broadcaster's name. If you 518 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,239 Speaker 1: know who I'm talking about, maybe you can hit us 519 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 1: up on Twitter at Ben mallor at Danny G Radio. 520 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: He was good on the air, he just had really 521 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: really long pauses, and so all of us would scramble 522 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: behind the scenes because we thought his satellite link would disconnect. Yeah, 523 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: I'm trying to trying to think, like, yeah he did. 524 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: He did some weekends fill in, He filled in for 525 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: you and some other shows. Occasionally he wasn't on the 526 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: air a lot. Yeah, I remember the guy in Ohio. 527 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: Remember the guy that that had the kind of the 528 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: cartoonish voice in Ohio? Remember that? Do you remember him? Yeah? 529 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: We worked with a lot of radio guys over the years. Yeah, yeah, 530 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: it was. But on this one, it's gonna we'll find 531 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: that name. Eventually, uh Ed in Boston writes and he says, Hey, 532 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 1: Man and Danny G, do you guys prefer fahitas or burritos. 533 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: I'm team Fahitas. I've been team fahitas for a long 534 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: time now. I would rather a taco than a barrito. 535 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: I would rather fahitas than a burrito. I'm I'm you know, 536 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: the burrito to me is low on. There's so many 537 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: great foods of Mexican foods, but I have the burrito 538 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: kind of lower than most people, so especially around the 539 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: breakfast burrito is very popular in California, Southern California. But 540 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: but I'm on team Fahita. Probably made fahitas with the 541 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: bell pepper, the onion, the chicken, whatever you have in there, 542 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: the beef, oh my go as far as rito's go. 543 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: I'm a classic o G with the bean and cheese 544 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: burrito from Taco Bell. In fact, the one item there 545 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: where I I'll crave it once in a while, and 546 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: so we'll have to go to Taco Bell maybe once 547 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: a month just to get a classic bean and cheese. 548 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: But I'm with you on the fahitas being better usually 549 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 1: because you can make your own taco. Pick the tortillas 550 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:28,719 Speaker 1: you'd like. Shrimp fahitas are really good, especially here in Cali. 551 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: So I do the shrimp fahitas and then make my 552 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: own tacos from that platter. But it's all fried up 553 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: bed and they carry it to your table, and that 554 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: a roma and smoke is rising in. You're the star 555 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: of this show. Everyone's looking where the faa is gone? 556 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: Who's got the who's the lucky guy with the fatas? Who? 557 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: When's the fahita lottery? And they all want to know. Yeah, 558 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: whenever they set it down at a table near you, 559 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: you always kick yourself like, damn it, that's what I 560 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 1: should have got.

If that maybe you misheard? 566 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: Do you think I don't think he's I don't I 567 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: don't think that was Brian. Maybe it was some special 568 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: tennis update. Yeah, I mean he does do some like 569 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: U c l A programming.

I don't 571 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I would set its phony stuff. 572 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 1: It didn't happen, right, Scott from northern Kentucky writes, and 573 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: he says, hey, Ben and Danny g Uh.

You don't 579 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: see homeless camps everywhere you go. He says. He works 580 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, and you don't see it there either. So 581 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: I do have a question for you and Danny g 582 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 1: in your years, but I guess traveling with the Dodgers 583 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: being around the players, did you ever walk in on 584 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: anyone in a compromising position, catch a player with a 585 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: female fan other than their significant other? He says, that's 586 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 1: the question for me, and then for I'll wait, I'll 587 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: give the one for you in a second, but answer that, uh, 588 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 1: absolutely all right. I was a naive young man from 589 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: Orange County, California. I had no idea the kind of 590 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: debauchery that these guys were involved in on the road. 591 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: I had heard stories, but I did get to travel 592 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,479 Speaker 1: a little bit with the Dodgers. And you know, this 593 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: was in the days before social media. This was in 594 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 1: the days but for dating websites and all that. So 595 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: it was a stone age and Danny, it was an 596 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: eye opening experience. We would we would get into cities 597 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 1: at in the middle of the night and let's just say, 598 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:18,240 Speaker 1: there would be uh women, beautiful, all dolled up women 599 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,359 Speaker 1: in at three thirty four in the morning waiting at 600 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 1: the hotel lobby for certain guys. I don't know how 601 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: they just knew the team was gonna show up at 602 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 1: that time. I have no idea, but it was. It 603 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 1: was interesting. And yeah, I mean there were there were 604 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 1: guys that hooked up with fans.

It was, you know, obviously during the Stommers, 613 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 1: like in August, and it was very hot in New 614 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 1: York in Manhattan. We're hanging out doing our thing and 615 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: we're getting ready to leave, and one of the guys said, Hey, 616 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 1: there's this guy that plays for the Clippers. I was 617 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: to cover the Clippers and it was Malik Seeley, who 618 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: had played at St. John's and I I walked by 619 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 1: my Malik and he recognized me and we talked for 620 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 1: a few minutes and it was great.

He was na played pretty good NBA player, 623 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: bounced around, kind of a journeyman. But I remember running 624 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 1: into him like it was like two worlds colliding. Danny 625 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 1: was like the baseball world in the basketball world, we're colliding, 626 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 1: like in Manhattan. It was. It was a weird deal. 627 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: But I guess he's from He was from New York, 628 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 1: so that was his home. I remember Malik.

It's a marketing gimmick 644 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 1: and a little bit I had it. I thought it 645 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,279 Speaker 1: was good, But you know, I guess we all kind 646 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 1: of have something that our area is known for, and 647 00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,360 Speaker 1: sometimes people there's so much build up, kind of like 648 00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 1: a Dodger dog. There's so much build up that somebody 649 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,799 Speaker 1: will come in from out of town and they'll have 650 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,760 Speaker 1: it and it's good, but it's not what they thought 651 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 1: it was gonna be. Yeah, Well I learned when I 652 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 1: went to Boston and I had the Finway Monster Dog. 653 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 1: Greatest hot dog I've ever had a ballpark, amazing hot dog, 654 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: better than the Dodger dog. In fact, there's a listener 655 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,360 Speaker 1: in Cambridge that is a big fan of the show 656 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: and he does a great mitzvah. Every year. He'll send 657 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:28,880 Speaker 1: me a box of authentic monster dogs that you can 658 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,719 Speaker 1: get at the grocery store in Boston, and he'll send 659 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 1: him overnight, and so I can enjoy the wonderful hot 660 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:38,319 Speaker 1: dogs when I'm watching the baseball games. Should I feel guilty, Danny, 661 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,879 Speaker 1: when I'm watching the Dodgers, I'm meaning a Finway Monster Dog, 662 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: and I think it's a better hot dog nor And 663 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,880 Speaker 1: I was there the first year he sent those to 664 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 1: the crew and you yeah, you remember, Yeah, I got dude, 665 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 1: I grilled him up. Uh. They were delicious. Yeah, they 666 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 1: were really good. I think the thing with Dodger dogs, 667 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: and now it's changed because the company who makes them 668 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 1: has changed. There were two versions, right almost like the 669 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:06,280 Speaker 1: microwaveable version wasn't as juicy, and there were two different 670 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 1: types in the same stadium. Once in a while, you'd 671 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 1: get a Dodger dog and it just hit the spot 672 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 1: and it felt like the most delicious thing you've had 673 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 1: in a while. And there there were other times where 674 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 1: you got it and you were just kind of let down. Yeah, 675 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 1: it's it's well. I like a grilled dog, like a 676 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 1: grilled hot dog. I don't like a boiled dog. That's disgusting. 677 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: And I remember when the early days, when I first 678 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,720 Speaker 1: started coming the Dodgers, they had a chef named Walt, 679 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 1: and this old guy who had been there probably since 680 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,440 Speaker 1: the team moved to l A. And I was, hey, Walt, 681 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 1: can you burn up my dogs? And he'd do it. 682 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,280 Speaker 1: I tipped him a couple of bucks and he'd burned 683 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 1: the dogs up and they were in large back in 684 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 1: those days. But see, that's what I'm talking about. Every 685 00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,879 Speaker 1: dog at the stadium should be made like that. That's 686 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,880 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I agree with you, all right, Big Greg, 687 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 1: and I will let's be the last morning we're getting 688 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 1: little long on this, Big Greg and I well, maybe 689 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: you one more Big Greg in Iowa and Danny G. 690 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:00,880 Speaker 1: He's just been in. Danny G. How much money do 691 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 1: we need to get out of Ben's bank account to 692 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 1: pay Scotch Shapiro to keep Brian Finley off of the 693 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,840 Speaker 1: updates when Eddie is off, or to pay him to 694 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:13,880 Speaker 1: get Robbie the Mariner fan as his replacement. And we 695 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,320 Speaker 1: can't explain how or why we have access to Ben's 696 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 1: bank account. Well, you really wouldn't be impressed if you 697 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 1: saw my bank account. Yeah, he says Danny ge what 698 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 1: would have been your worst experience dejaying a party? He 699 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,439 Speaker 1: wants to know us from Big Greg in Iowa. I 700 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,719 Speaker 1: was on my This was a few years ago. I 701 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,359 Speaker 1: want to say maybe four or five years ago. I 702 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: drove up to northern California to play a reunion for 703 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 1: a class that had graduated in the mid nineties. So 704 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 1: they wanted some hip hop, some country. They wanted to 705 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,400 Speaker 1: mix it up with music from the nineties, and I 706 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 1: kind of specialized in that. I have a huge library 707 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,319 Speaker 1: from the nineties. So I'm on my way up there. 708 00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,879 Speaker 1: Ben problem. There was a heat way going on through 709 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,480 Speaker 1: the Central Valley. It was a hundred and ten hundred 710 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 1: and twelve degrees through Fresno. I remember I was packing 711 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,880 Speaker 1: my Vinyl on ice like I had an igloo in 712 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 1: my car, but it was to keep electronics and the 713 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 1: control records from melting. My leather seats were melting when 714 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:26,319 Speaker 1: I stopped in Fresno. So I get to Modesto, California, 715 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 1: where this party was gonna be held. Half my equipment, 716 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:35,880 Speaker 1: including my main hard drive, was toast. Oh, everything was 717 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:40,160 Speaker 1: on the fritz. My two control records were warped. I 718 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 1: had to go to automatic settings and I pulled that 719 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,799 Speaker 1: gig out of my aspen because a lot of my 720 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:53,719 Speaker 1: gear got ruined just due to the heat. Yeah. That sucks. Uh, 721 00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:59,600 Speaker 1: that's brutal. I do not recommend doing outdoor gigs in 722 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:03,680 Speaker 1: the Control Valley or northern California during the heat wave 723 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:08,320 Speaker 1: of the summer. No, that's an oven in Fresno, Bakersfield, 724 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 1: the central part of California. Holy Connoli, Man, that is 725 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:17,919 Speaker 1: a freaking That's a microwave? Is what that is? All right? Uh? 726 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:19,839 Speaker 1: I said that was the last. Well, there's another one 727 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 1: that caught my attention, he said. Kevin in Cansa got mail, yea, 728 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:32,040 Speaker 1: I got mail. Yeah down, Calm down, dummy, Kevin in 729 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,640 Speaker 1: Kansas says, dear Ben, how would you describe your show 730 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,400 Speaker 1: to someone who hasn't heard it yet? I tried, but 731 00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:43,560 Speaker 1: it's hard to describe all of you guys, he says, 732 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,880 Speaker 1: I don't know how it's a It starts as a 733 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 1: sports show and then it just talks about random, random crap. 734 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:55,080 Speaker 1: That's it's the show about nothing. But I don't know. 735 00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 1: How would you describe the show, Danny, I don't really know. 736 00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,439 Speaker 1: You've been on the show for years. I not sure 737 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 1: how you would sum it up in a few lines. 738 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 1: It's it's unlike, how about this, it's unorthodox sports talk radio. 739 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:11,239 Speaker 1: It's not part of the orthodoxy. We we kind of 740 00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,440 Speaker 1: mock sports talk radio in a way. A lot of 741 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,000 Speaker 1: the things that we do we poke fun at the 742 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,400 Speaker 1: the regular people that do sports radio. Yeah, it's definitely 743 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:23,880 Speaker 1: against the grain, and it's listener driven, which is a 744 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,280 Speaker 1: lot of fun games. And drops is something I explained 745 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,480 Speaker 1: to like my mom when I first joined your show. 746 00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,160 Speaker 1: I speaking of northern California. I remember visiting her there 747 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 1: back in like when I first was helping on your 748 00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 1: show in January of that year, and she asked me 749 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,279 Speaker 1: to explain, well, what do you mean by drops? What 750 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,880 Speaker 1: are those? And so I explained it to her and 751 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,920 Speaker 1: explained how we used them, and she got the biggest 752 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:50,600 Speaker 1: kick out of that, She's like, you get to do 753 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 1: that every night. I'm actually on the live. Yes, you're 754 00:42:54,560 --> 00:43:00,080 Speaker 1: on and you get paid for that. You're like that, 755 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 1: but not much in us. And when I told her 756 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,840 Speaker 1: what the most famous drops were and how I waited 757 00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,760 Speaker 1: for the perfect time to play them and how timing 758 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:14,560 Speaker 1: was everything, she thought that was the coolest thing. So 759 00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 1: to this day, when I check in with my mom, 760 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:21,880 Speaker 1: she's like, any good drops, any new drops?
