Who the worst day of the year 12 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:53,480 Speaker 1: for the body clock is today? Today, the eighth day 13 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: of March. As we changed the clock at two in 14 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: the morning light Savings time we sprung forward, which I 15 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: assume you know by now, And I'm not gonna do 16 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: my normal rant. For years on this podcast I have 17 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: done a rant and rave about how ridiculous this is 18 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: and how stupid the flipping of the clocks. I don't 19 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: care which time you pick, just pick a time. But 20 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: daylight Saving Time has started and observed every March eighth. 21 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 1: I guess not every March eighth, but this year it's 22 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: obviously March eighth, which is today, and yah, move the 23 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: clock forward one hour. We and then later on you 24 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: revert back to standard time. Dumb the dumb, dumb, dumb. 25 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: And I'm a little disappointed that Benjamin Franklin came up 26 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: with the idea of resetting clocks to save money on electricity. 27 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: He said, well, I'll save some money, why not. I 28 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: was back like the seventeen hundreds, and then there was 29 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: some other English guy that came up with the plan, 30 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: was the first true proponent of daylight savings time, but 31 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: it was not until nineteen eighteen. All the way in 32 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: nineteen is this came up originally in the seventeen hundreds, 33 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: and then in nineteen eighteen they said, oh yeah, let's 34 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: do the daylight savings thing. Yeah that works, why not? 35 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: And it was during World War One, and then in 36 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: World War Two there was some more futsing around with 37 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: the clock. But I just I hate it. I can't 38 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: stand it, despise it, and it's just going to be 39 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: the next couple of days. It's terrible. And a couple 40 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 1: of years ago there was a push to change this 41 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: and just set one time. And it's days like this 42 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: that I wish I lived in Arizona or one of 43 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: the other states that does not futs around with the clock. 44 00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: But I'm not going to go on on that. We 45 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: have the mail bag to get to. So let's strike 46 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: up the band. Ohio, al get me in the mood, Ohio. Aw, 47 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: it's this mail bag all right. These are actual letters 48 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: by actual listeners. We have not had to beg for 49 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: messages in a long time. You guys have been great. 50 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: We've got new names, which I love. The podcast is growing, 51 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: and as it is a dawn of a new day, 52 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: as we were doing this year, early on on a Sunday, 53 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: we begin with a staple of the mail bag. Someone 54 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: that I don't believe has ever called the radio show, 55 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: Reggie from Detroit. Reggie says, Hey, Ben and Danny, I 56 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: wanted to get your thoughts been on that guy that 57 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: called this week. I think his name was Tom. He says, 58 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: I think you're referring to Tom who The guy claims 59 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: to be from Texas, and Reggie says, is he a 60 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: legit caller or a plant? Why would someone call your 61 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: show multiple times? Who hates the show? Reggie in Detroit. 62 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: First of all, Reggie, thank you for sending the message. 63 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: I appreciate that and listening on a regular basis. So 64 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: I have not spent much time investigating this guy, Tom. 65 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: I do have boots on the ground, the investigative wing, 66 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: the MiB AS. I like to call it the Malard 67 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:38,559 Speaker 1: Investigative Bureau. There have been some people that have gone 68 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: around and messed around on the internet, found some information out. 69 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: This guy's been very open about posting nasty stuff online 70 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: and all that. I don't know much about him. I've 71 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: just read some things. Reggie. It sounds like he's a 72 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: failed radio guy and he just didn't make it because 73 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: he was not very good at radio. And he's upset 74 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: because people are on the radio and so and he's 75 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: a troll and all that. And I get it. You know, 76 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: radio is hard, it's not for everyone. It's the hardest 77 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: medium to do, especially doing a solo show. And then 78 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: the guy apparently was an abject failure at radio. So 79 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: I get it. I am. I'm not upset. I mean 80 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: it's great, it's been a good bit for the show 81 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: that he doesn't seem to like it. I don't know 82 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: if it's stick. It might be shtick, who knows. And 83 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: it's good, you know, you do the show, and you 84 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: hope people like it. It doesn't really matter whether they 85 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: like it or not. I get paid the same money 86 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: whether you love the show, you hate the show, as 87 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: long as you listen. And there's a tournament goes back 88 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: to the nineteen eighties called the Stern Effect for Howard 89 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: Stern before he went woke and now wants everyone to 90 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: like him, when he was just doing outrageous bits, just 91 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: crazy bits on the radio back in his heyday, before 92 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: he lost his fastball Howard Stern. And they did research 93 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: the radio stations determine at the people who really hated 94 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: Howard Stern, they couldn't stand him, they thought he was 95 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: a pig and all that, and he, you know, may terrible. 96 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,799 Speaker 1: They listen longer than those who absolutely loved him, and 97 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: they why is that why? And as well, we want 98 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: to make sure that the people that hated him, they 99 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: didn't want to miss an opportunity to be outraged, to 100 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: be angry. People love to be angry, right of all 101 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: the things to get angry about an overnight radio show, right, 102 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: And it's like if you don't I've always said this, 103 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: but if you don't like your restaurant, I don't I 104 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: don't go. You know, I don't like your restaurant. I'm 105 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: not gonna hear anymore. You just don't. You don't go. 106 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: I don't like. I'm not wired that way. I know 107 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: you don't. It's not an airport. You don't have to 108 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: announce your departure. You just that's it. So but thank 109 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: you for I guess being concerned. Rich You were just 110 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: asking why this guy would Tom that's the name he's using, 111 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: would would call it? You'd have to ask him. Uh, 112 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: Danny in Nashville, Now you send me a question. Danny's 113 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: he's hanging out in Miami these days. But I wanted 114 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: to say Mazeltov to Danny in Nashville. I'm very proud. 115 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: I feel like I should be the godfather because Danny 116 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: had his first child. His son arrived recently. He sent 117 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: this email a while back. I somehow it fell through something. 118 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: I apologize to Danny and your lady there, But congratulations 119 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: to both of you.

And 125 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: Danny did have a good line. He says, Hey, his 126 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: kid can now snore along with hollering gips. I did 127 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: not get the name of his child, so email me again, Danny, 128 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: let me know the name of your son. Or maybe 129 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: I missed it. I did see some really cool photos 130 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: and I saw you right there. You look a little 131 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: different than when you were hiding in the bushes outside 132 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: these studios there in Sherman Oaks. You're all grown up 133 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: now and your dad. That's pretty cool. Mike from Wisconsin 134 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: writes in on the mail bag. He says, Hey, Ben, 135 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: I've heard you talk about Logan Paul on your radio show. 136 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: Are you concerned about a lawsuit? Mike says that Logan 137 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: Paul said this week he's going to sue people that 138 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: call him a scammer. And yeah, Logan Paul apparently said 139 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: he's looking forward to dealing with people who have called 140 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: him a scammer through legal action. He says, as they're false. 141 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: Narratives are out there about him online. So to answer 142 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: your question, Mike, the percentage of concern that I have 143 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: for being sued by Logan paul is zero. I'm not 144 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: a social media influencer this time of the only one 145 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,839 Speaker 1: Benny versus the Pennies on So I'm not a social 146 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: media influencer. I also have been educated by an army 147 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: of lawyers over the years, working at all these big 148 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: radio companies, mostly Fox Sports Radio, but I've worked at 149 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: other companies and what we do, and I think you 150 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: realize this if you listen. It is an opinion based show. 151 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's an opinion based show. I often 152 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: say things like this is my opinion or as we 153 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: understand it, and a pure opinion. You're in this country. 154 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: I don't know about other countries. I don't worry about that. 155 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: But in this country, a personal viewpoint that does not 156 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: assert or imply any kind of factual claim is protected speech, 157 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: very important protected speech. It cannot be the basis of 158 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: a defamition lawsuit. Now, you could sue for defamition, however 159 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: you would not win, the case would be thrown out 160 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: and you'd get buppkus. However, an opinion that implies some 161 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: undisclosed facts, or if it's phrased in a way that 162 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: a reasonable person would take as a factual accusation that 163 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: can be defamation. You can look at my webinar if 164 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: you want on that. Defamation, from what I understand, requires 165 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: a false statement of fact that harms the reputation. Opinions 166 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: do not qualify. You are entitled to your own opinion 167 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: and editorials, commentary, obvious hyperbole, which we love. We love hyperbole. 168 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: They get even more protection. So I got even more protection. 169 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, hurt feelings and unfair criticism 170 00:10:54,600 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: do not meet the legal standard for defamation. So yeah, 171 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: you learn that right away. I've had people I've worked 172 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 1: with that have been sued for things that they said 173 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 1: on the radio, and you learn how to avoid that happening. 174 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: It's not that difficult. It's once you learn the little 175 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: things you can say, it's not that hard. But good 176 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: luck to Logan Paul. I'm sure that'll go very well 177 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: and he'll make a lot of money and be very, 178 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: very wealthy, as he needs the money. Hose from Dallas 179 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: writes in, and I'm pretty sure this is the first 180 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: time we've gotten an emailer who wanted to ask about 181 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: F one racing. Jose says, Ben. I know you're not 182 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: a big racing guy, but yeah, he says, did you 183 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: take in the big F one story this week? What's 184 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: your opinion on that? Apparently he sent me a link 185 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: here to a story from some website I've never seen. 186 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: Aston Martin's F one car was unable to finish the 187 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: race at the Australian Grand Prix, said the driver Fernando Alonso, 188 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: risked major health problems and he had to go only 189 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: fifty eight laps and because of he felt like he 190 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: was being electrocuted as he was driving his F one car. 191 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: But I'm not an F one guy open wheel racing. 192 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: I did watch the Brad Pitt F one movie with 193 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: a giant bucket of popcorn. I did watch that. I 194 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: did watch that. My goodness. Was it like an electric 195 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: chair instead of a driver's seat. Maybe they go down 196 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: to San Quentin or something like that, So can we 197 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: get the driving? Can we get the electric chair? We'll 198 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: put that in there. That seems very odd. I wonder 199 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: how that could happen. I'm not a car guy. I 200 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: like my car, but I'm not a car guy, not 201 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: really a shoe guy. I don't know what kind of 202 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: guy I am. I guess I'm a dog guy. As 203 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: I did that rant the other day, and then what else? 204 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: A'm a I'm a not a foodie. I just like 205 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: what I like and that's it. Uh, what else do 206 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: we have here? Let's see? Uh? Dave from Indiana writs 207 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: and says, hey, Ben and Danny. I try to catch 208 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: the podcast at least every other weekend when I'm up 209 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: early doing doing things around the house. He says, I 210 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: wanted to thank you for the the lou Holtz monologue 211 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 1: this week. It was it was like, I think you 212 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: meant touching. I don't know what word. I don't know 213 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: what that is. Ah, well, you don't have to. There's 214 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: no need to thank me. I've never liked doing eulogies. 215 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: I have not enjoyed doing eulogies. I don't know anyone 216 00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: that does. However, whether this is a pot or negative 217 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 1: depends how you look at I guess it's a negative 218 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: that there's a positive that it grew out of it. 219 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: There have been so many people that were a big 220 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: part of my life, whether they're pop culture callers to 221 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: the show, and I've I feel like I've got a 222 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: little better at the eulogy thing. The biggest monologue that 223 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: we did last year was the Hulk Hogan monologue. I'm 224 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: still getting emails about the Kobe Bryant thing when he died, 225 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: and that was before the pandemic years ago. I don't 226 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: enjoy it. I really would just stay away from anything 227 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: that was death and all that. Next up is legally 228 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: Blind Christopher, who is answering the question that I posed 229 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: on the air. I said, your complain about the weather 230 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: in London. You whine about that? What is going on 231 00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: with you, legally blind Christopher? And he writes, since is, 232 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: dear mister Maller, I live in London for two reasons, 233 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: and then he gives the reasons. Six thousand miles from 234 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: his ex. Well, that's pretty good free mass transit for 235 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: me instead of having to walk eight miles a day 236 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: in Charlotte, North Carolina to get what I need. That 237 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: sounds like a nightmare. And he says, plus I have 238 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: work and a new family here in London. Look at you, Christopher, Hey, 239 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: look at that. All that happened in the last couple 240 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: of years. That's pretty well. So six thousand miles Does 241 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: that mean your ex now lives on the West coast 242 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: of the United States? Am I correct on that? Let 243 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: me know in your next email, fill me in on that, 244 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: all right. Next up, we have Gary in Pittsburgh, writes 245 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: In on the mail bag. He says, Ben, I was 246 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: listening to your buddy Steve Zabin on his Wednesday podcast 247 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: and he and his guest were talking about Arby's buying 248 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: Buffalo Wild Wings back in twenty eighteen for two point 249 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: nine billion dollars and Gary says I was absolutely for it. 250 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: And Zabe and his guests both remarked that they said, 251 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: where did Arby's get two point nine billion? And he says, 252 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: Gary says, that's an under the radar event that has 253 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: been kept very hush hush. I guess bad roast beef 254 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: makes a killing unlesslie are experts at as Danny G 255 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: says money laundry. But I want your thoughts. Well, Danny's 256 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: unfortunately not here. I will try to remind him next 257 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: time he's on the mail bag, hopefully next week. I 258 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: will let him know about that. But my goodness, he says, ps, 259 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: if you make it to Ohio, I will be there 260 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: with the Orum's cinnamon rolls. Well, that would be amazing. Gary, 261 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 1: that's a re to go right there. And we are 262 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: I say, we, not me, but we mentioned last week 263 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: on the Mailbag, there has been a listener that has 264 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: stepped up. I don't know if they want me to 265 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: give their name or not, but a fan of the 266 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: show who's in Cincinnati, in the Cincinnati area who is 267 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: boots on the ground and he's he's got some ideas 268 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: on some venues that could host the mallor meet and greet. 269 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: So we're hoping that that all works out and we 270 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: can make it happen. And that's typically how this goes, 271 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: unless somebody just sets up the whole thing, like Mike 272 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,360 Speaker 1: the Leprechaun and our friend Mike and New Hampshire are 273 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: planning on doing for the big Boston Worcester meet and greet. 274 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: Outside of that, normally it's like, hey, I need somebody 275 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: who's actually there because you live in the city and 276 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: it's kind of obviously I don't know what's good and bad. 277 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: I could go find a restaurant or a sports bar 278 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: to go to. It very well could be on the 279 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: wrong side of the tracks and no one's gonna go. 280 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: And so I want to go to a place that's 281 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: class and people want to go to and it's safe 282 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: and all that, and so that's where we are on that. 283 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: What else do we have to see? Page down here? 284 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: Felix from Fresno. I don't think we've had an email 285 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: from Felix before. He says, Ben, I know you and 286 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: Danny don't like traveling very much by planes. Will this 287 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 1: change your opinion on United Airlines? And then he sent 288 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: me a sort I saw this the other day, actually, Felix, 289 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 1: But the United Airlines is changing. They changed their code 290 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: of conduct and now passengers who fail to use headphones 291 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: while listening to audio or video content, those infractions can 292 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: get them on the no fly list for United Airlines. Yeah, 293 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 1: how about that. I don't like all the rules. You 294 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 1: shouldn't have to put a rule in this. I feel 295 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: like this is one of those things, Felix, that should 296 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 1: be common sense, like the fact that society is at 297 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: a place where you have to put a rule in 298 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: to just be polite. It's a communal space. You're stuck 299 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: in a tube thirty thousand feet in the sky, and 300 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 1: if anything goes wrong, it's turnout. The last the parties 301 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 1: over and the amount of people that get on planes 302 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: that don't shout, and you're probably sending this Philixes of 303 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: the rant I did about the the airlines and all, 304 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,199 Speaker 1: but but the amount of people that show up that 305 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: don't have simple decency the quorum, It's like, what do 306 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: you live? Are you raised by like Neanderthal? Like? What 307 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: are you doing? I feel the same way when I 308 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: go to the beach during the summer whi's getting summertimes 309 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: not not too long from now, and the people that 310 00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:00,239 Speaker 1: are out there and they've got their boom boxes and 311 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 1: they're just blasting the music. But it's not your private 312 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: beach bozo, Like, dude, what are you doing? So I 313 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: don't like that. They have to put a rule in. However, 314 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: if you're watching video or audio stuff and you're just 315 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: having it blasting, it's affecting other people. So yeah, and 316 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: that is a big pet peeve. It gets people's blood boiling, 317 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: as it should. It's a very territorial thing. Barry, the 318 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: hostess with the most is my guy. Barry put together 319 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: What a great meet and greet we had in Charleston, 320 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: South Carolina a little while back. I was down there 321 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:44,919 Speaker 1: to visit my niece, who loves Charleston so much that 322 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: she has stayed that's her home. She lives in Charleston, 323 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: South Carolina, and I know Barry is still trying to 324 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: get out of there, and for some reason he's still there. 325 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: But you know, hey, I know he's trying to get out. 326 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: I know he's trying to get out. He says, Ben, 327 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 1: now that you can make now that you know you 328 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: can make money from TikTok, when can we expect to 329 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:10,439 Speaker 1: see your TikTok account it's from Barry. Yeah, so this 330 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: is one of those things. The guy that filled in 331 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: for Coop one night has worked behind the scenes, Brandon 332 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: at Fox Sports Radio, and I really talked to him, 333 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: kind of an introvert like me, and so we don't 334 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: really talk. When you put two introverts in the room, 335 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: not much happens. There's not a lot going on. So 336 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, I make some money. And I was 337 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: asking them some stuff on the air. I asked him 338 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: some stuff off the air. And I've always been like, 339 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: I'm too old for TikTok that I'm not No, I'm 340 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: not doing that. I'm starting to change my opinion. I am. 341 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I started looking around like, oh, 342 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: maybe I could do something with this and a couple 343 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 1: monologues a day and they don't even have to be. 344 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: They don't have to be mini, they don't have to 345 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: be MODELOG. You can just be he said, one minute. 346 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 1: I do four hours of opinion based radio. Do you 347 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: understand how easy that would be, how little work would 348 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: be required to do a one minute rant about whatever? 349 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: So I am looking into it now. On that note, 350 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: Barry Tony, who lives, he says, in the greater Philadelphia area, 351 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: but not South Philly. Whatever that means, he says, Ben, 352 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: I believe your matrix theory is picking up steam. I 353 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 1: wanted to see if you saw this. This is a 354 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: story from a CEO of Twitch, and I did not 355 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 1: see this, Tony, but I thank you for sending it 356 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 1: my way. It does back up my worldview. And the 357 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: headline headline says a top Twitch executive encouraging streamers to 358 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 1: buy view bots because good content is not enough. Oh spaghettio. 359 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 1: All right. So, in a post on a different social 360 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: media platform, the Twitch executive explained that bots are going 361 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: undetected and Twitch benefits from this. Hello, That's exactly what 362 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: I've been saying, because more viewers look better when it 363 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 1: comes to advertisers, exactly. And this is my point. This 364 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: has been the rant I feel like, I'm going crazy here. 365 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: I'm one of the few people that is pointing this out. Now. 366 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: I learned this years ago. It's all fogayzy, it is, 367 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: and it is either people want to ignore it, they 368 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: don't want to bring it up. It's I keep going 369 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 1: back to the Wolf of Wall Street, right, I go 370 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: back to the Wolf of Wall Street, and they're going 371 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: on and on and on and all that stuff, and 372 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: nobody knows if a stock is gonna go up or down, 373 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 1: sideways or fucking circles, least of all stockbrokers. And then 374 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: he goes in that whole rants all food gazy. You 375 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: know what a fugazy is for Gaysey is fake fu 376 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: gazy fo ghazi. It's wazy, it's woozy, it's very dusty. 377 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: Doesn't exist, it never landed. It is no matter. Blah 378 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. That's Internet 379 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: view counts. I'm telling you, it's been this way for years. 380 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: All right, back to the story, So thank you Tony 381 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: for sending this. By the way, if I didn't thank 382 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: you already. The executive from Twitch says that he claimed 383 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: that viewbots, which you can buy, is important for anyone 384 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: looking to grow, even if the growth is done by 385 00:24:54,280 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: those nefarious methods, And the quote continues, I would never 386 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: explicitly say you should bought your views on Twitch, other 387 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 1: than in the title of the article. But you know 388 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 1: what that means. Kids. But the reality is, if your 389 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: view botting and everyone else is, if you're not viewbodding, rather, 390 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: if you're not viewbodying everyone else is, you're at a disadvantage. 391 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: There you go close quote and he's not wrong. And 392 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: again I go back to the stories. I'm going bonkers here, 393 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: the people on TikTok who had all these down loads, 394 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: and dumb people who work at websites that aren't social 395 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: media based, like these old newspapers which are just websites. 396 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 3: Now, this person had two million views on their song 397 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 3: and okay, and then they try to sell tickets and 398 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,400 Speaker 3: friends and family buy tickets. 399 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,239 Speaker 1: That's it, friends and family buy tickets. Next up we 400 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: have Enie Meenie Miny Mo Scott from Florida Wright since says, hey, 401 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 1: Ben and Danny, what's a sign in the wild that 402 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: someone is a costco member? For me, it's the the 403 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: Puma tube SOX. I don't own anything else. Puma, But 404 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: damn if I don't have fifty pairs of those white 405 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: tube socks in the closet. And I see other Puma 406 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: sack guys all around town. Almost all of them are 407 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: Costco shoppers. Well I'm jealous, Scott. I don't have a 408 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: lot of Costco clothing. By the way, how's the day 409 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 1: shift going? Have you gone to the day shift? Have 410 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 1: you have you done that? I think you're I think 411 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: I'm right you're going to or were you going to 412 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: the night shift? I'm confused. Maybe you were going back 413 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: to the night shift. I don't know. It's early. There 414 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: was a freaking time change. I have no idea anyway. 415 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: What is he's asking? What is the sign someone's a 416 00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: Costco member? Well, you really would know until you went 417 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: to their house and found the seven gallon tub of mayonnaise, 418 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: the twenty five gallon container of pretzels, the five pound 419 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: thing of M and M's. You got to go into 420 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: the storage the pantry at the house, and then you'll say, oh, 421 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 1: that's Costco. That's Costco. Clearly, Tom from La thank you, Scott. 422 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: I hope things are going well for you. Tom from 423 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 1: La right sences McDonald's launching Crocs keychain toys in the 424 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 1: new basketball Happy Meal. Ben, are you going to go 425 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 1: back to Mickey? The's no, I'm not interested. I don't 426 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 1: wear Crocs. I don't have a problem with Crocs. Some 427 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: people have a very strong reaction to Crocs. I'm not 428 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 1: that person. So enjoy. If that's your thing, I'm good 429 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,400 Speaker 1: on that. Now, if that's worth some money, we can 430 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: revisit this and say, well, maybe I should go back 431 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 1: and get some of those. So the promotion begins is today. 432 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: The eighth begins March tenth. It includes so a couple 433 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: of days away, includes miniature crop keychain toys inspired by 434 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:22,360 Speaker 1: the footwear brand Signature Clogs, a collab bringing basketball theme 435 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: collectibles to restaurants along the annual high school showcase, which 436 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: I guess is coming up in Phoenix, Arizona. So there 437 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: is that. Yeah, I mean they look kind of cool, 438 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: and that looks to me like something that will go 439 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: for a fair amount of money for people that collect 440 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: random crap. Tom Shane in de Moine writes in he says, hey, 441 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: Ben and Danny, Oh, no, Shane's in Dallas. I got 442 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: shaneon to Mooyne on them. Sorry, I got my Shanes 443 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: mixed up Shannon Dallas. It's early, I'm telling you, that's 444 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: my default excuse. It's early. So a man had to 445 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: be rescued by firefighters. He got trapped into a phone booth, 446 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: or as they call it in London, a phone box, 447 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: while trying to order a kebab, and then Shane in Dallas, 448 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: not the Moe. Shane in Dallas, says Ben, how could 449 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,719 Speaker 1: this happen? Well, Shane, I wasn't there. I'm looking at 450 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: a photo of this and it's in Manchester in the UK, 451 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: and these are these classic. When I think of London, 452 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: I think the first thing I think of was the 453 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: double decker bus. The second thing I think of is 454 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, and then 455 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: somewhere a little lower after Big Band and some other 456 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: things after that. I then, at some point I get 457 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: to the red phone booth. You would think, though, just 458 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: again common sense not being very common, that you would 459 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: look inside. There's windows on this thing. You say, okay, 460 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: there's no phone in there, Because this story says this 461 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: guy got in there and he realized there was no 462 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: working phone, and then the door shut behind him and locked, 463 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 1: and there was no way for him to get out, 464 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: so his friends were there and they called firefighters to 465 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: get him out. You'd think, whynton just use his friend's phone, 466 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: But who knows. Rick from San Diego rights into the mailbag. 467 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: He says, Hey, Ben, can you let your friend in 468 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: Vegas know that he better not take a whiz with 469 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: his glasses on? Yeah, I don't know. Rick sent me 470 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: a story about meta glasses. Does our friend in Vegas 471 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: use meta glasses or does he use some other kind 472 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: of glasses? Are there other kind of glasses? I'm gonna 473 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 1: assume he knows. I'm gonna assume our buddy in Vegas knows. 474 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,719 Speaker 1: But yeah, this story is that the metaglasses, the people 475 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: behind them have warned users that when they go to 476 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: take a nice dump, that everything they're doing is being 477 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 1: reviewed by humans. That these meta ray Man smart glasses. 478 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 1: They've sent out this mass warning that whether you're dropping 479 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: a deuce, you're wiping your toukis, you're making whoopie, or 480 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: you're maybe by yourself adjusting the joystick, it's all going 481 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: to be on on camera. So yeah, I don't have 482 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: to worry about that. I do wear glasses I inherited 483 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: from my dearly departed parents, the bad vision. A sasquatch 484 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: Willie that sounds like a real name. He says, he's 485 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: in the Greater Seattle area. He writes in he says, Ben, 486 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: how come this was not a bigger story? I know 487 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: you like UFL stories. A declassified UFO going back thirty 488 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: five years, A giant glowing spear over a military base 489 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: has been confirmed, and yet nobody seems to care. Yeah, well, 490 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: welcome to the modern times, the zeitgeist of the times. 491 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: Sasquat twilly. He sent me a bunch of UFO stories 492 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: as UFO hotspot uncovered or around underwater canyons off US coasts. Okay, well, 493 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: that one goes into my long standing theory. I say, 494 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: long for the last couple of years that I have 495 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: believed what we're experiencing is some other life form that 496 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: shares the planet with us. And they say here in 497 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: this story, right off the West coast, three regions of 498 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: the West Coast, La Joya, and San Diego. Then there's 499 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 1: a canyon in central California and also Monterey Canyon that 500 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: showed unusually high concentrations of UFO sightings compared with the 501 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: population based expectation so the theory is there's some stuff 502 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: going on at the very bottom of the ocean. And 503 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: then Willie also sent me a story that NASA scrubbed 504 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 1: the moon landing mission for twenty twenty seven and he 505 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: says there's claims there's an ancient city on the surface 506 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: of the Moon and that's why they're not going to 507 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 1: go because humanity is not ready for that. Okay, that 508 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: would be great, that would be amazing, and there are 509 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 1: people that would know. I'm pretty sure they've sent things 510 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: all over the moon. We also talked to I think 511 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 1: it was the last week about Mars, the Mars things 512 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: not happening elon Musk going to Mars. They were going 513 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: to go to the Moon. So anyway, we'll get out 514 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: on that. I'm gonna go try to go back to 515 00:33:55,480 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 1: sleep and have a wonderful rest of your Sunday. This 516 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:09,280 Speaker 1: freaking daylight savings time change thing, beach and these loser 517 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 1: politicians they don't have the balls to change it, do something. 518 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 1: This is something that is a bipartisan issue. Anyway, I 519 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 1: can go on here, I get out of here, have 520 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,240 Speaker 1: a great study. I'll be back on the radio tonight. 521 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: All things being equal, will be ranting and raving behind 522 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: the powerful microphones of Fox Sports Radio, and we'll talk 523 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: to you. Then got a murder. I gotta go.
