Or it's possible, 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:51.879 Dany G, that we are actually going alongside the Jacksonville Jaguars, 0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:55.680 or are they the London Jags taking on the Buffalo 0:00:55.720 --> 0:01:00.400 Bills here in a very early NFL matchup for those 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:02.200 on the West Coast and even on the East coast. 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:04.480 The game kicks off at nine to thirty in the morning. 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:05.360 That's kind of early. 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:08.160 It's a little bit Can I watch it as toy 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:08.959 story again? 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:13.600 Oh man?

I hate to tell them they're only watching 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:22.160 highlights on TikTok. They're not they're not watching the games. 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:26.039 They're not.

We thought about doing it on Friday, 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.920 we considered it on Saturday, and here we are on 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:43.679 Sunday and we haven't gotten the pop culture. So I'm 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:45.440 gonna do a little bit of pop culture. Then we'll 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:47.720 get to the mail bag. Is that good, Danny? Does 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:48.360 that work for you? 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.520 Yeah? It sounds like sloppy thirds let's do it. 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:52.360 Oh, dare you. 0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:57.720 Jog? 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:10.000 All right? Thank you? Ohio Al. Here's an interesting one 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:14.040 from Michigan State. A professor at Michigan State had some 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:21.360 explaining to do. This professor some investigators who happened to 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:25.240 be some of his students, did some investigating and found 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:31.400 out that he had been a convicted meth manufacturer in 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:35.440 the past. But he was able to hide that information 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.600 and became a college professor at Michigan State. 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:41.560 Wow, we should write a TV show about this. 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.000 Yeah, And they can throw pizzas on the roof and 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.520 they can have they can have a fine time there. 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:52.160 But yeah, this guy at Michigan State. Turns out, apparently 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.040 everyone's got a past, Danny, Everyone's got a past, and 0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:02.000 this guy's past included a little methamphetamy. So the students 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:05.720 found out about it and did not necessarily go over 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:10.880 particularly well, as you might imagine in the world of academia, 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:16.160 not so good. Michigan State has had a tough, tough road. 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:19.520 But this guy, the guy's named Brendan. He was charged 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:23.280 in twenty twenty for helping run a meth lab. He 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:28.840 was arrested in Louisiana, and this fall he started teaching 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:33.600 at Michigan State. Wow, that's impressive that you could be 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:38.560 arrested in twenty twenty with the math and then a 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.800 few years later you're teaching at a prestigious what I 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:43.600 thought was a prestigious university. 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:45.320 Anything as possible. 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:49.320 Yeah, look at that man. He was charged with creation 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:55.680 or operation of a clandest clandestine laboratory for the unlawful 0:03:55.800 --> 0:04:03.240 manufacturer of a controlled dangerous substance. So yeah, and he 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:08.920 had taught anatomy and a few other classes there. According 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:12.240 to one of the students there, he was erratic and 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:17.719 just seemed impatient. Hey, yeah, they claim, So all right, 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:21.840 here you go Michigan State Way to go sparty Drake. 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:25.080 Drake is in some hot water. People are still hating 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:28.800 on him. He gave a random fan at one of 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:32.599 his concerts fifty thousand dollars. Did you see this, Danny 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:38.000 fifty g's This guy got a bunch of hookers and cocaine. No, no, 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.080 he wasn't going to the ballet, man, he wasn't going 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.039 to the ballet. But I'm like, come on, I mean, 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:45.240 Drake's living the life there. He's probably like al Chopo. 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.000 He's got so much money he doesn't know what to 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.600 do with the money. Right, But weren't that wasn't that 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:51.320 the story about al Chopo and those guys in the 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.520 Mexican cartels. They were burying money because they had so 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.279 much money they didn't know what to do with it, 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:02.960 and it just so they started like bearing it right man. Anyway, Yeah, 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:06.120 he gave a fan fifty thousand dollars in cash and 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:11.599 got ripped for it. It was at a stop in Miami, 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.640 and a certain fan kind of caught his attention there, 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:19.359 and so he gave him fifty grand. Do you you 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:23.120 have to pay taxes on that, right, or if it's cash, 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:26.040 you don't have to. I don't think I mean you're supposed. 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:27.680 To the one time gift. 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:34.040 Yeah. Man uh. Anyway, so people are ripping him, saying 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.159 they're ripping Drake pretty much. Whatever he does, he's gonna 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:41.080 get ripped. People are goofing on him. Well, here's sping 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:46.320 of money. Some person walking on a beach in Florida 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:53.560 discovered almost one million dollars worth of cocaine. What's that? 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:59.560 It's cocaine. Now here's the thing. You were walking on 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:02.599 the beach. You much rather find a million dollars cash 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.160 because that you don't have to report taxes to a 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:08.920 million dollars cash. You're supposed to. But again, you know, 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.280 there's no paper trail on that. I don't believe, So 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.000 I think you're you're in good shape there, couch May. 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:19.520 In this story, the package weighed sixty seven pounds. The 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:23.120 street value was approximately a million dollars. This was in 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:27.800 Daytona beach. Beach was in Daytona. You know who lives 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.120 in Daytona. Jed who fled? How upset is Jed that 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:33.240 he's not the one that found that that cocaine? Man 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.720 that's a lot of cocaine, Man White washed up right 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:38.960 there on the beach in Florida. 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:41.960 Yeah, he'd be on one hell of a bender right now. 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:47.760 Yeah, all right. In July, during Shark Week, Discovery aired 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:51.200 an episode in which scientists attempted to discern how all 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:53.840 of the cocaine that's washed up on the beach is 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:57.000 a Florida over the decades has affected the shark population. 0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:00.960 I'm sure that was was wonderful. Great. Back in August, 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.280 the mayor of Tampa was on a family fishing trip. 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.640 I think we talked about this one on the show. 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.720 Was in the Florida Keys and caught a seventy pound 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.800 what they thought was a fish, seventy pound bag of 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:20.440 coke worth over a million dollars. Doubt. Yeah, pop goes 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.360 the culture. Let's go to Vegas. You were just in 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:28.160 Vegas and MGM Resorts continues to refuse to pay the 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.880 people that have attacked them cyberly and shut down the 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.000 cyber attack that shut down their whole thing. They're not 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:39.520 paying the ransom attack. They're not given in at least 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:43.240 not at this point. They were refusing to pay and 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:49.240 it's still causing them all kinds of problems for their business. 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:53.400 But they're like, we're not paying, so I guess they've 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:56.480 been able to function. Did you go through any MGM properties, Danny? 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.080 Did it look all messed up? Was it a lot 0:07:58.160 --> 0:07:59.000 different without. 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:02.960 We were on an property, didn't have any problem? 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.800 Oh okay, there you go. So we don't need we 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.680 don't need you. We're good, We're all right. 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:12.360 We do not negotiate with terrorists. 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.600 That's right. The Ring camera people, here's a good marketing gimmut. 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:21.320 They're marketing gimmick. They're offering a one million dollar reward 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:25.320 for video footage of aliens captured using their camera. 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:32.880 Big guys ten feet tall, have big. 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:37.959 Eyes, exactly exactly. Well, here's something that I think we 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:41.839 can both appreciate, Dandy. It says that AI is a 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:47.960 legitimate threat to make the traditional college degree completely obsolete. 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:52.320 That going to college and getting all that student debt 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:55.719 that you get when you go to college, it's just 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:59.559 not going to matter because with the AI, you just 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.160 type of few words in about a being by the boom, 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:06.000 and you've got as much knowledge as anybody with a 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.920 bunch of degrees and the Rhodes scholar and all that stuff. 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.200 So I have a huge basketball IQ. 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:19.920 Dang. Yeah, well, Bob Ross, I saw this story floating 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:23.320 around and this is interesting. Bob Ross, the first made 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:29.280 for TV painting has popped up. It's on the sales market. 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:33.600 You can get the Bob Ross first made TV painting. 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:37.160 The legend the iconic Bob Ross man was he was 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.280 he get actually dressed up as Bob Ross one year 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:41.560 or was it last year? Maybe it was last year. 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:44.320 I don't know. Maybe it was last year. Time flies 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.160 or it doesn't fly, I guess anyway. According to the 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:50.439 Washington Post, the painting has been in possession of a 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:54.559 single loan of the past forty years. That's that's a 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:58.360 long time. Four decades. Volunteer at the PBS station in 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:03.480 Virginia where that show was filmed, Ross donated the painting, 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.319 and the volunteer likely paid about one hundred dollars or 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:13.400 less for it. But they they're auctioning this thing off 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:20.000 nine point eight million dollars. It's called a walk in 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.800 the woods. It should be a walk to the bank. 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:25.640 It should be what it's called there. Yeah, I guess 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:29.079 we got some money here. And Bob Ross did not 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:31.480 even get any like he wasn't rich from all this, 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.959 Like his name has been worth more now since he's 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:40.640 been dead than when he was around. Yeah. Eh, craziness 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:46.560 the Bob Ross Inc. Which is I saw a documentary 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.000 about this and they were like kind of goofing on 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.680 the like the people that have hijacked the Bob Ross 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:53.960 brand and put it on everything and. 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:56.079 And all of that. 0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:01.080 People getting very excited on the tablet Lloyd's Danny here 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:06.760 in LA and Hollywood because Jennifer Lopez and Ben Afflack 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:12.440 her husband there were spotted at a McDonald's drive through. 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:15.600 You know you got you don't want a big mac? 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.000 You eat a big Mac?

He worked blue, He worked blue, and people 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.240 would sometimes be freaked out by that because he was 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:44.280 like this wholesome part of Americana doing Bob Bob Saggot, Yeah, 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:49.360 Bob Saggitt. Yeah. So there's an example. Mike also says, 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.160 a great job maintaining your composure during all that Laker 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:54.760 talk with Fred Rogan. That was impressive. Thank you, that 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:56.079 was very, very painful. 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.160 No, the Lakers are supporting your TV show. 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:00.800 How about your clippers? 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:01.800 Like that? 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:06.000 Smile off your face, Danny. Next up, Francine writes in 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:09.079 and says, why do you keep weed Man Hippie on 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.040 the Friday lame jokes portion of the show. He isn't 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.959 funny anymore. His laugh is fake and I have to 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:17.959 turn the station off because I can't listen as long 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:19.520 as he's part of it. Well, thank you for the email. 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:23.440 The message here the reason, and this is totally transparent. 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:25.240 I want to be transparent with you. The reason we 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.240 have weed Man Hippie on is we we had a 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.160 couple of meetings and we tried to figure out how 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:35.000 can we piss off Francene, what would piss off what 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:38.440 would really piss off Francene to turn the station off? 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.040 And we all agreed weed Man Hippie. So that's why 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.480 he's a paid caller. And if you don't use him 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:48.000 during that segment, then it messes up the invoice. 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.960 That is true billing. The billing department does not appreciate that. 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:56.040 And weed Man, it's so funny. We were laughing. Actually, 0:14:56.560 --> 0:15:00.280 we had a post post show party and we Man 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:02.640 was laughing because he said, all these people think I 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.840 have no money and I'm getting paid for this every week. 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.920 It's a gag. And sometimes people even send the extra 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:11.520 money on that that Remember we started that dummy weed 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:15.080 Man weed Man Hippie Gmail account and then people would 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.840 like send him money and he thought that was funny too, 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:20.360 but we had to take that out, if you remember, Danny, 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:22.560 we had to take that out of his check, the 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:27.480 extra money. Oh, Big Lou from the LBC rights in 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:34.000 Good Old Big Lou and Big Lou says, this is 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:37.960 ask Danny G. Being that you have worked in sports 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:41.080 in the music business, who gives the best interview sports 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:44.840 figures or people in the music business, and who has 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:49.800 been a or favorite interview in both, respectively. So this 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:51.520 is only for you, Danny. I'm gonna sit this one out. 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:52.600 It's all you, Danny G. 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:58.600 Go ahead. I'm gonna say musicians usually give better interviews 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:03.600 because they're stone drunk, both just rolled out of a 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:07.720 hotel bed with a random female or male, depending on 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:11.920 who you're interviewing. So the debauchery in the music world 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:16.680 it's a notch above the professional sports world. So you 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:22.840 get some dirt. I'm thinking which rapper DMX was really good? Rip. 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.400 Not only was he a really good interview, Ben, but 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:30.120 we set up this whole Vegas weekend where me and 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.080 my station we flew out a winner, and it was 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.800 this girl and her best friend. We flew her and 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:38.720 her friends out to Vegas to see DMX in the 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:43.200 front row and meet him backstage. But Ben, it was 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:45.600 better than a meet and greet. We had come to 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:51.680 find out she actually slept with him. Whoa, and we 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:56.760 got the dirt The next Monday. She wasn't really cooperating 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.040 when we were talking to her on the phone, but 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:02.480 we could tell that something shady had gone on. Her 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:06.080 best friend calls the morning show and spilled the tea 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:09.000 that they hooked up and that's why her friend was 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:12.840 acting so weird because her friend's husband listened to our 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:18.720 morning show. She came in super pissed, was screaming and 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:22.320 yelling in the general manager's office that we probably caused 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:25.720 a divorce. Talk about an awesome interview. 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.560 Wait, so she's married, she's at the DMX thing and 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:31.840 he wants to, you know, take her back to the badge. 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:35.040 He ends you all, right, here we go. Here we 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.080 go like Dak Prescott, Here we go. 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:41.119 Get gigy. So we would always whenever we would do 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:44.440 a flyaway, we always liked to check in with the 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:47.680 winner the following monday to get a review on the 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:50.720 concert and see how everything went. It was just like 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:54.120 a quick couple minute phone call with them. We when 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:57.320 we did that with her, she was very kind of 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:00.600 weird about the whole meet and greet part, and we 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:04.040 could tell something was wrong. So when her friend called 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:08.440 us and let us know what happened. Fireworks went off 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:12.320 and our general manager was stuck in the middle of it. 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:15.600 And the next morning he made us apologize to her 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:18.879 on the air, and we're like, apologize for. 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:22.880 What she got to hook up with a rap star. Yeah, 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:24.639 you don't need to a pop. I mean, she's the 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:27.159 one that unless it was something that it wasn't, and 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:29.959 she's the one that decided she wanted to go that direction. 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:31.240 Why is that your fault? 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:35.080 I guess it's because we let the cat out the 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:39.760 bag that she cheated. But there was more than one 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:42.880 interview that was spicy like that when it came to rappers. 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:46.240 So that was a lot of fun on radio. Also, 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:50.240 I interviewed Alicia Keys one morning and she got really 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:53.760 pissy and she hung up on me, and that went 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.240 down in radio history at the station I was at, 0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:58.560 So I was known as the guy that pissed off 0:18:58.600 --> 0:18:59.359 Alicia Keys. 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:05.439 That's cool, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Musicians are much athletes are boring. 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:06.040 Uh. 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:08.840 I don't get why so many they were on television 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:12.320 because most of them just they just are robots. And 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:16.840 the first casualty of interviewing an athlete is the truth 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:19.800 and also entertainment, Like there are a few guys that 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:23.280 are good, right, but most of them, they all they've 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:26.240 all memorized. It's like that line from Bull Durham, you 0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:28.280 know about that you gotta learn your cliches. You know 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:30.680 you're gonna deal with the writers, And so they just 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:34.320 repeat that mumbo jumbo and they're just lifeless zombies. 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:38.600 Also, think about it, Ben, your alumni of kiss Am yep. 0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:43.000 The musicians need you. They need you in your station 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:47.600 to play their song after song after song they release. 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:51.399 An athlete doesn't give a shit about the radio because 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:54.800 there it doesn't change anything for them. If anything, it 0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:58.440 gives them crap and problems with you talking smack about 0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:01.159 them on sports radio. What does it help them with? 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:04.879 It doesn't help them with sales. They're not pushing a 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:08.879 song for somebody to buy. So Alicia Keys is a 0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:11.359 good example of that. I made up with her. She 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:14.959 came on the show again and apologized. I interviewed her 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:17.480 at a better time later in the morning, and I 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:19.879 did a meet and greet with listeners and she was 0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:22.840 super extra suite at the meet and greet. So she 0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:26.280 made good. That happens with a lot of musicians because 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:29.119 they want to stay in a good space with your 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:29.840 radio station. 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:33.800 So my only I never met DMX, but when we 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:37.560 did the Malor Meet and greet in twenty nineteen, there 0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:39.760 was a down the street. We were at the Cask 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:44.399 and flagging and down the street right near Finway, DMX was. 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:47.159 I guess she was either performing there somewhere in Boston, 0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:50.000 but they came to a bar right near where we were, 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:56.800 and Blair from Maine, the DMX people, the roadies from 0:20:56.880 --> 0:21:00.040 DMX were all partying and having a grand time, and 0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:03.560 that that freaked out Blair and Maine so much he 0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:04.400 had to leave early. 0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:09.480 Whoopee pie. Blair sucks and Fox Sports Radio knows it. 0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:13.920 He was so traumatized by the DMX crowd that was 0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:17.200 just having a grand old time there. What's next, Georgian, 0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:19.399 You've all the Texas rites? And he says, would you 0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:22.960 rather guys escape prison in a sewer pipe like in 0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:26.240 Shawshank Redemption or have to face have a face to 0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:31.080 face conversation with Brian Finley after after he ate a 0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:37.160 huge plate of garlic chicken Daddy, Yeah, yeah, I would 0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:41.680 much rather just roll around in a sewer just with you. Know, 0:21:42.520 --> 0:21:45.320 swamp creatures in there and all that. Yeah, that's what 0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:50.080 I would go for rather than Brian Ferry spitting pieces 0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:55.040 of leftover garlic chicken with almond butter. I'm good. 0:21:55.240 --> 0:21:59.000 I don't need that. What about you, Danny, I'm with you. 0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:01.040 Just call me Andy Duframe. 0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:04.440 Yeah, one, just chip away. He just got a chip away, 0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:09.080 Josie writes, since says any news on how Roberto is doing? Uh? 0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:12.520 Last night I talked to Roberto last time. He's doing well. 0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:16.200 He finally passed his driving test, and I believe he 0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:19.320 has started. Who should have him on? Maybe I'll get 0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:20.920 him on one of these weeks. We'll have Roberto on 0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:22.919 to talk about what it's been like as a school 0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:26.400 bus driver. But I think he's likely in the probationary 0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:30.600 period still, if they still have that, and so I 0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:32.879 don't know if he's actually running it by himself. He 0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:35.720 probably still has somebody kind of keeping an eye on him. 0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:39.560 But make sure you ask him about Josh McDaniels. He's 0:22:39.600 --> 0:22:41.920 a big fan the Greatness. 0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:45.119 Alright, did you you didn't go to You were not 0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:46.880 able to go to the Raider game this past week, 0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:48.239 which is probably better that way, right? 0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:52.760 Yeah? It was a travel day. But yeah, I mean, 0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:55.560 obviously McDaniels is on the hot seat. 0:22:56.680 --> 0:22:58.760 I don't think he is. I don't think Mark Davis 0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:02.160 wants to pay him, and they might have to pay 0:23:02.200 --> 0:23:04.920 more to Gruden depending on how the lawsuit goes with Gruden. 0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:10.040 So I mean, the controversy is that Sence Davis is 0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:13.680 now worth so many more billions of dollars because of 0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:17.160 the brand new, state of the art stadium in Vegas, 0:23:17.840 --> 0:23:20.560 with so many fans coming in from out of town 0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:24.080 for the visiting team and to make it a party 0:23:24.160 --> 0:23:27.280 weekend and get out of the cold, that he doesn't 0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:30.680 give a shit about the fan base because he knows 0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:33.240 that the stadium will still be full. I don't know 0:23:33.280 --> 0:23:34.920 if that's true or not, but if it is, his 0:23:35.080 --> 0:23:36.880 dad would slap him across the face. 0:23:37.520 --> 0:23:40.160 So the NFL's thirty two teams in the NFL last 0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:43.239 my using malomath, and of those thirty two teams, there 0:23:43.280 --> 0:23:45.720 are three teams that consistently have more fans of the 0:23:45.800 --> 0:23:48.440 other team than their team when they play at home, 0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:52.560 the Chargers, Rams, and Raiders. It's fascinating. 0:23:53.119 --> 0:23:57.359 Irony is when the Raiders play in LA, seventy percent 0:23:57.400 --> 0:23:59.200
