1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:01,440
Speaker 1: Cutbooms.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 2: of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: Wow.

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere, The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben

Speaker 1: Sports Radio on the overnight show, The Ben Maler Show

17
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: with Me and Danny's on with Covino and Rich during

18
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: the pending on what time you're in, either afternoons or evenings,

19
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: something along those lines, depending on your time zone, unless

20
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: you're in Hawaii and then it's a morning show. So

21
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: we do have the mail bag today. We're excited about that.

22
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: It is the final round of the Masters in Augusta, Georgia.

23
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: So that's going on. They don't have fans all.

24
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 3: Do you know that Dan Bayer from the Network, he

25
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 3: is such a fan of golf and the Masters, especially

26
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 3: that he took two days off last Thursday and Friday

27
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: so that he could sit at home and enjoy it

28
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 3: uninterrupted and Spotty from Covino and Richie made a funny joke.

29
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 3: He said he pictured Buyer's wife dressed up with him

30
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 3: in cosplay, like he said, probably dressed her up as

31
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 3: a caddie.

32
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, does he wear a green jacket while he's watching in.

33
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: Just a green jacket? Time for the ball washing.

34
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: I'm surprised he doesn't go to the Masters.

35
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if he's ever been. I'm gonna have

36
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 3: to ask him when he returns to work next week.

37
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: Remember we got asked to go. We had a place

38
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: to stay in everything. Yeah, the guy's a fan of

39
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: this podcast and he's, hey, I got some You know,

40
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: we never did it, but one of my radio friends,

41
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: Ted Ted sobol you know Ted, he he actually covered.

42
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: He's covered the Master a few Masters. A few times.

43
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: They have I don't know if they still do, but

44
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: they had a a media raffle where certain members of

45
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: the media got to play around at the Masters. If

46
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: you won this raffle, you got to play around. So

47
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: like that's mind blowing for a guy like Dan Byer,

48
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: like who works at our Spot, our Spots. So I'm

49
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: surprised Dan hasn't done that because you could win the

50
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: lottery and then you get to play around at the

51
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: iconic course there and you can go pee and Ray's Creek.

52
00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: Like did you see you see the viral video the

53
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 1: somebody was interviewing people coming out of the Master's golf shop.

54
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: This was on TikTok. I saw this the other day

55
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: on how much people were spending on souvenirs at the Masters,

56
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 1: and they the average amount was like fifteen hundred, two

57
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: thousand dollars per person just going in there casually dropping

58
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: two grand on what do you get for two thousand

59
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: dollars at the Masters? That one person said they spent

60
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: like it was like five thousand, but it was the

61
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: in the video, and who knows, I mean, this may

62
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: have been they might have been leaving out the people

63
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: didn't spend any money, but it was all like fifteen

64
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: hundred two thousand. There was like a five thousand wild

65
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: you buy out like a Master's bobblehead or something like that,

66
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: Like what how how much does the hoodie cost the Masters? I? Hey,

67
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: good for you. I give you got the money to burn? Right,

68
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: I'm assuming the client tell there at the Master's, Danny,

69
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: they got a lot of extra money. If you're going

70
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: to the Master's, chances are you got a lot a

71
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: lot of extra cash.

72
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: Oh you have, yeah, you have money to burn if

73
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 3: you are at the Masters. Do you know what you

74
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 3: think Coachella is bad for paying for somewhere to stay?

75
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 3: What it's four or five times the normal rate for

76
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 3: Airbnb's there during the Masters?

77
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: Oh it's yeah, it's insane. Okay, speaking of Kachella, did

78
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: you see the other day there was a twelve hour

79
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: traffic delay? Oh yeah, I get out to Kachella and

80
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: they said people it was much like the Masters. People

81
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: were getting out and they were pulling out the snake

82
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: to pee on the side of the road out there

83
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: in the desert, trying to get because there was nowhere

84
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: to go. They had to go to the bathrooms, so

85
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,239
Speaker 1: they would just let it rip right out there waiting

86
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: to try to get into Kachella. Man now has that

87
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: been hijacked. I we had you with us, remember the year.

88
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if you were this or not, but

89
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: there was a guy that said he was going to

90
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: get his passes to Kachella one year.

91
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 3: I was with you when that happened. Yeah.

92
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, So the guy's like, oh, yeah, we're gonna We're

93
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: gonna get everyone. They gots a big fan of the

94
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: show and get you all pass it. And Coop was excited.

95
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Coop was fired up. This is like the

96
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: coolest in the world. And it was very kind. It

97
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: was what we were excited about it. I was not

98
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: as excited because it's not really my jam, but I

99
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: would have gone and to just experience it. And then

100
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: like it was like a week before, right, and all

101
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: of a sudden, like the guy started kind of ghosting

102
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: us a little bit, right remember, And.

103
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 3: Then yeah, and then he gave me the bad news

104
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 3: that his connection fell through.

105
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, has Cella been hijacked? Like comic con has? Like

106
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: the old school comic book people are bothered because the

107
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 1: movie studios discovered that comic con was really popular and

108
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: they can monetize it. So then they started moving into

109
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: comic con and putting all their big corporate displays when

110
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: that was not the ethos of what Comic con was

111
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: supposed to be. Right, Comic Coon was supposed to be

112
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: just this nerd convention where none of the mainstream people

113
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: were there. Well, Coachella wasn't it the same thing for music? Right?

114
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: It was just kind of you know, that was the

115
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: jam and the vibe and all that. You just go

116
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: out there, do a lot of you know, the do

117
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: the drugs, have a good time, drink a little bit

118
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: with some music.

119
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 3: Yep.

120
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: And but now having the big record companies moved in

121
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: to Coachella is at the same situation. Am I right

122
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: on that? Yeah?

123
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 3: Popularity wise, that shouldn't be an issue, But there's all

124
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 3: this price gouging going on. And you look at this

125
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 3: generation right now, a lot of them go because it's

126
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 3: a photo op. It's like the cool place to be. Yeah,

127
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 3: And I think of Comic On You're right, it was

128
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 3: solely for the nerds and your very own Justin Cooper

129
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 3: could have a table there signing liar liar headshots.

130
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 4: Heckers driving Cooper.

131
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: When I was in when when I worked in San Diego,

132
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: my early I was a kid at the mighty six

133
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: ninety and I remember Comic Con like it was it

134
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: was going on whatever, but it wasn't like that big

135
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: a thing. It was just in the nerd community. And

136
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: then over the years obviously getting older and it's just

137
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: just wild and crazy and wacky and all that. Let's

138
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: get to the mail bag, though, we have actual letters

Speaker 1: of the Fifth Hour Podcast. Mike and Fullerton wrights and says, Hey, Bendon,

149
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: Danny g. I know we're not supposed to ask sporty

150
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: questions in the mail bag, but I've got two of

151
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: them for you this week. First, I don't think I

152
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: need to remind you guys that wrestle Mania is next weekend.

153
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: What match are you most looking forward to? For me?

154
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: It's gotta be John Cena versus Cody Rhodes. I used

155
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: to like Sena when he was a good guy, but

156
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: he's a bad guy now. And I hope Cody wins,

157
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: and second they do either of You see any team

158
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: in the West slowing down the Clippers in the playoffs.

159
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: They are on an absolute bernerd Yeah, I'm having trouble

160
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: coming up with any threats to them. Thanks A's Mike

161
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: and Fullerton. Well, I'll let Danny handle the WWE stuff,

162
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: but I the Clippers. Yeah, it is hip, the clip wrong.

163
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 3: The bottom falls out underneath of them for some reason.

164
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: Why are you so negative the Clippers?

165
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 3: It's what's always happened, unfortunately for you.

166
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: They're on a heater and the key to the Clippers

167
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: their new glue.

168
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 3: Guys, guy, I remember what you Yeah, I remember what

169
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 3: you used to say about him when he was a Laker.

170
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: Oh no, I never talked about him. But the Lakers

171
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: were irrelevant when Blossom. Yeah, clearly.

172
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 3: But what do you think is going to happen as

173
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 3: far as uh the rest of the West. Here we're

174
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 3: waiting on all the dominoes to fall in place for.

175
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: This final day. The NBA regular season today. So yeah,

176
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: so the Clippers have out performed what I thought they

177
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: would do. But uh, you know, we always in the

178
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: back of our mind and not really in the back

179
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: of our mind, in the front of our mind. We're

180
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: just trying to guess. I was thinking. I was thinking

181
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: about bringing back an old bit on the show this week,

182
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: Danny NBA injury Bingo.

183
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 3: Where oh boy, uh that is just like book I

184
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 3: remember Fielding the complaint calls what we how dare he

185
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 3: wished for injury on these four points?

186
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: Well, no, we don't want anyone to get hurt, but

187
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: if they do get hurt, wink, we want to we

188
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: want to take advantage of that. So I would think,

189
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: like Kawhi Leonard would be the top pick in injury

190
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: NBA injury Bingo. I would think Kawhi would be the.

191
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 3: He's right up there, he'd be top three for sure.

192
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, brother, I I'm pretty I'm pretty sure

193
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: we're going to bring back in NBA injury bingo. I'm

194
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: I'm I'm like eighty five percent. So as far as

195
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: the wrestling, the only wrestler I care about is Ruthef So.

196
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 3: Oh boy, did he retire?

197
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: No, he's back. He's actually just signed with WWE again.

198
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: He went russef went over and changed his name. He

199
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: went to the other outfit, and he just re signed

200
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: with the WWE. So he's going to be back as Russeph,

201
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: which is exciting. So I don't know exactly when and whatnot.

202
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: Tony in the Bay Area right says, case.

203
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 3: Don't interrupt Old Cogan. I'm a real American.

204
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: I need those Viamins. I need the Hulk beer. Tony

205
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: Bay says, can you talk about your radio show calling days? Well,

206
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: there's not a lot to talk about, Tony. I wasn't

207
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: as famous as you. Tony calls up and says like

208
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: he says bad words on the show, and I love

209
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: Tony in the Bay He's such a good, good caller.

210
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm the only one that likes

211
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: Tony's work, but I always laugh when Tony. Tony's on

212
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: the air, he doesn't stay on long. He's got a

213
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: point and then he usually says a bad word and

214
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: I just laugh. I laugh. He's one of the guys.

215
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: Almost every time Tony calls, he says something that kind

216
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: of makes me smile.

217
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 3: Here's a clip of one of his calls blank my

218
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 3: blank and blank you.

219
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: Pretty much that's the way it goes. Well. We had

220
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: a really funny moment the other night with Angry Bill. Also,

221
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: when Angry Bill he calls up, and no matter when

222
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: I take Anger Bill's call, he always bitches about whoever

223
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: was on just before him, you gotta put why'd you

224
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: gotta put me on? After? You know? Call her x?

225
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 4: And then he complains yes, And I would have MLB

226
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 4: put Angry Bill in his sheat right behind home plate

227
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 4: and have a ball hit him square in the eye

228
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 4: and say you help on yourself at.

229
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: Mal Oh that is outstanding. That is great audio. I

230
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: love it. So anyway before I was preemptive this time,

231
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: so I'd put Angry Bill on. I think it was

232
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: the end of hour three, and so he's complaining, so

233
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: I put him back on hold. So then an hour

234
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: four I'm like, all, we'll take We'll take Angry Bill.

235
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: So preemptively I said, oh, let's go to Angry Bill.

236
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 1: I can tell you what he's gonna say. I'm paraphrazy,

237
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: but he'll be, oh, well, are you gonna put me on?

238
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: After hollering James and all. So I put him on,

239
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: and Angry Bill says, Ben Mallard go and then like

240
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: f yourself and he said the full thing right there,

241
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: and it was. It was very funny, very good, but

242
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: no Tony. When I was a kid, I called radio shows,

243
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: believe or not. I called Lee Hamilton, who I would

244
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: intern for. He was a mentor of mine in San Diego,

245
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: Hacksaw Hamilton the high speed sports wire. Every once in

246
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 1: a while, it was a big deal. When I was

247
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: a kid, I would be the first caller to Lee Hamilton,

248
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: and he said, break the ice. Let's break the ice

249
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: was his line, and I always remember I was very excited.

250
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: I was an honor. To be the first caller meant

251
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: a lot. But my fondest members were actually calling late

252
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: night radio, which I guess was an omen of things

253
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: to come in my life because I would listen late

254
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: at night and scan around the radio dial and I

255
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: used to listen to all these far away NBA broadcasts

256
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: and baseball broadcasts from different cities in the West, and

257
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: I would call into late night radio shows. I remember,

258
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: here's a story I don't think I've told. There was

259
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: a radio show that came out of the Boston area,

260
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 1: and it was they did like sports trivia at night overnight,

261
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: and I called in to play a couple of times,

262
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: and one of the hosts, Dandy, was a guy named

263
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: Tim Neverett who is now a Dodger radio broadcaster.

264
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:03,479
Speaker 3: Oh that's crazy.

265
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: It's a small world, after all, it's a small, small world.

266
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: I called into that. My favorite memories were this little

267
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: radio show in Vegas that I got boomed into la

268
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: and they were on the weekend overnight. These two like

269
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: lifelong radio guys, and I don't remember their names, but

270
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: I called it into that show pretty much every Friday

271
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: and Saturday night and they would leave me on for

272
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: like seven eight minutes, and it was like crazy. Their

273
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: theme song was after Midnight. That was their theme song.

274
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: Very original, I know. I thought I must be the

275
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: greatest caller to their show because they leave me on

276
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: for so long, and every other show would get me

277
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: on and get me off the air quickly, right, So

278
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, man, I must be killing it.

279
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: And then I realized after I asked the call screener

280
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: one time, I said, what's what's going on? And I

281
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: was the only one calling. No one else. No one

282
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: else was called, so they had no one else to

283
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: talk to. So that's why they left me on. And

284
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: I used to listen to this show called the start

285
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: Us Line out of Vegas. This is how archaic the

286
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: world was, Nanny. It was Sunday night from ten o'clock

287
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: till midnight on Sunday in the days before the internet.

288
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: And this guy Lee Pete, who was a famous radio

289
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: guy in Vegas. He hosted the start Us Line and

290
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: they got I think it was like eleven o'clock at

291
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: night on Sunday. They released the next week NFL lines.

292
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: And this is in the days before the internet. This

293
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: is the first place to get the NFL lines. Nobody

294
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: else had the lines for the following week in the NFL.

295
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: But I didn't call that show, so it doesn't really count.

296
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: But I just remember, just remember that next show it.

297
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 3: That's what it sounded like. I'm checked up about it.

298
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: That's right, man, that's whole morning. Guy Alf from the

299
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: Penalty Box writes in he says, Ben, any truth to

300
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: the rumor that Lorraine uh was absent from her post

301
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: because she was serving a one show suspension of being

302
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: caught cheating at Are you smarter than an FSR tech producer? Yeah, Well,

303
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: that's a great point. Lorena did get caught red handed

304
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: cheating at the game we cooked up because of this

305
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: podcast for her, and I have a feeling she's also

306
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: going to be suspended this week for another day, so

307
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: I think it's a multi show suspension. ALF stay tuned

308
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: developing hot dot dot dot. And ALF also says, since

309
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: Dannig is the gatekeeper of the drop archive, can I

310
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:54,720

Speaker 3: You got it right, of course he got banana, correct.

334
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: I think you would get that right away. That's that

335
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 1: Jeff Garcia drop the crisp one that got more airplay

336
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: on Sports rate that played for about ten years on

337
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: sports radio. The Jeff Garcia when he was with the

338
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, and he had such a high pitched voice.

339
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 3: Oh, I found it. I found it's right here.

340
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 1: I just didn't feel real crisp.

341
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 3: He sounds like flexus.

342
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: There athletes that have high pitched voices that don't seem

343
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: like they should have high pitched boy like a quarterback

344
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: Jeff Garcia.

345
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 3: Dave Stewart of the A's wore his hat brim down

346
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 3: low above his eyes. He was very intimidating. But then

347
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 3: when he spoke to the media after ten strikeouts, he.

348
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: Talked like this, I know Dave Stewart, that's the go to. Yeah,

349
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: he had the very high pitched voice the Mets. Who

350
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: is that third baseman the Mets had? Right, it was

351
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: David Right. I forget, but he had a very high

352
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: pitched yeah, David right. Good. Right, there you go. There's

353
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: another one added to the big board. What's next? On

354
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 1: the mailbag? AJ from jay Z not sure whether he's

355
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: from Northern Jersey or southern New Jersey. He said, Hey, Ben,

356
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: I know it's the Masters this weekend. Jim Nance said

357
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: that it's refreshing that the Masters broadcast is not allowed

358
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: to reference money. Do you and Danny agree that this

359
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: is refreshing or disagree that this is refreshing? That is

360
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: from AJ in Jersey. I haven't really thought much about it. Aja.

361
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: That being said, I don't like censorship, and money is

362
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: part of sports. This is big business, and I don't

363
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: think you can completely ignore it. You shouldn't make it

364
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 1: the only thing you talk about. But to say that

365
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to reference money when money is like,

366
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: that's one of the driving forces of winning the Masters.

367
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 1: It's not just the green jacket and all that. And

368
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: you get to pick out the menu for next Year's dinner.

369
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: It's that you win a big pile of money, and

370
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: everyone that talks about later today when the Masters is over,

371
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,719
Speaker 1: assuming there's no weather issues and it continues into Monday.

372
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,719
Speaker 1: But if it's over today, it'll be like so and

373
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: so won the Masters and they won blank, and we'll

374
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: say how much money they want? So tell them to

375
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: bring me my money. The other thing, too, Danny, is

376
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: does anyone like, does this guy aj or anyone else

377
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: think jim Nantz is going to say anything to criticize

378
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: the Masters. That is his baby. That is his baby.

379
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: He is as known as mister Masters as anybody. So

380
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: he's not going to do anything. He's a partner with

381
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: the Masters. Nance isn't gonna come out. So I don't

382
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: want you know, I disagree with this. We should talk

383
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: about money. He's never gonna say that, all right. Next

384
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: up is Kevin in Kansas, he says, Dear Ben and

385
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: Danny g As, I am visiting family in Fargo. I

386
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: stopped at the Roger Merris Museum, the Native Son, of course,

387
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: the great state of North Dakota. He says. Here's a picture.

388
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: He sent along, a picture of a baseball game he

389
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: endorsed it's old school, but I'll bet it's fun at

390
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: the time. What old school sports games do you remember playing?

391
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 1: That is from Kevin in Kansas.

392
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 3: Any old Oh yeah, is he talking like pick? We're

393
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 3: in the backyard. We'd put two old gloves down on

394
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 3: the ground as the bases.

395
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yeah, that was good. And remember we played

396
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,360
Speaker 1: it was called smear the something I forget.

397
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 3: The uh smear the felexus.

398
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: That was. That was an enjoyable game on the player.

399
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: They you know we did some of the games we did.

400
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: They still did it, like the dodgeball. I think they're

401
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: not even allowed to do dodgeball anymore. Right, kids could

402
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: get hurt you kind of play dodgeball? What's wrong with you?

403
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 3: How about butts up? Did you ever play that?

404
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 4: Ga?

405
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: Yeah?

406
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, butts up? And we played with that heavy racquetball,

407
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 3: the blue purpleish racquetball, and you had to run and

408
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 3: touch the you know, it would be like either a

409
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 3: handball wall or just a concrete wall. You had to

410
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 3: run up touch the wall if you mishandled the ball,

411
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 3: and if someone else picked it up and their throat

412
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 3: to the wall, beat you before your hand touched the wall.

413
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 3: You to stand up there face first against the wall

414
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 3: and they got a free fastball pitch at the back

415
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 3: of you, supposedly trying to get your ass, but we

416
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 3: would get beaned in the kidney, in the back of

417
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,199
Speaker 3: the neck. Ahead there was kids. They would play this

418
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 3: at the bus stop ben here in La when I

419
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 3: was a little kid, and I remember kids blubbering on

420
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 3: the bus because when the bus would arrive, the kid

421
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 3: that got being the hardest in the back, would still

422
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 3: be crying. Oh that's great. It was super violent.

423
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: I remember the playgrounds that we had as kids, Danny

424
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: with all the metal and in the summer, how hot,

425
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: you know, the playground stuff would get and some of

426
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: the there was a slide in the neighborhood I grew

427
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 1: up in that had like chain link and it was

428
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: a very hot metal slide. Like they didn't even give

429
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: a shit about trying to keep the kids safe at all.

430
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: It was just like whatever, just go out there and

431
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: have fun. And it was a wild.

432
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 3: Half that stuff was rusty too, oh.

433
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, rusty. And I remember this slide which

434
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: was really cool. So you climb up it was pretty

435
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: high up and you had to crawl through this little

436
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: tiny hole to get in there and then I could

437
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: do it a little. We'd get in there and it

438
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: smelled like urine because the teenagers at night would go

439
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: in there and piss or whatever, and it was disgusting

440
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: and as you said, a little rusty and whatever. But

441
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 1: you know, fond memories as an adult. Kwang rites in

442
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: from Vietnam. He says, Ho Chim in Vietnam. That's what

443
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: he says in the email. Anyway, big Man and Danny

444
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 1: g Yeah, did you see that LeVar Ball opened up

445
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: about his condition that led to his amputation. He sends

446
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: the link sent a link here from the USA Today.

447
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: He says, you guys should try to get him on

448
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 1: the pod. I would love to talk to LeVar Ball

449
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: if he's available. You think we can track down LeVar Ball?

450
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: You think you do it? Or we have to pay

451
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: him like ten grand to do the podcast.

452
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 3: I remember how it depends if he's pushing something.

453
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. If he's got some to remote will

00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: stayed with my within my current profession, and was slightly recruited,

465
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 1: so it was a fairly easy transition my new place

466
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: of employment as a lot of younger people working there,

467
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: it's more of a clinical setting. I recently had a

468
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 1: conversation with my supervisor because I had made a comment

469
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: to another coworker. The comment was nice boots. I was

470
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: told it sounded too much like nice boobs that he

471
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 1: The meeting was fairly casual and pretty sure my boss

472
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: understood people were being hyper sensitive. My question is, and

473
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: Danny G might be more suited to answer this, have

474
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: you guys experienced anything like this over the years. I

475
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: mentioned Danny G because only because this history of FM

476
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: radio and all the possible hijinks that can ensue from

477
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 1: working in the genre. Much appreciation for the read, and

478
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: he says the most entertaining podcast A bit. We're very

479
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: kind from Marcus, so I think what he's asking is,

480
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: have you gotten in trouble with HR? Have you gotten

481
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 1: in trouble with HR at all?

482
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 3: I've been spoken to, and it wasn't just me. There

483
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 3: was this DJ who did mid Days on one of

484
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 3: my FM radio stations, and I won't say her name, Jackie,

485
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 3: but she was very sensitive and I said I made

486
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 3: some sort of comment about girls' asses, and I got

487
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 3: called into the HR. We don't have those anymore. Remember

488
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 3: when we had an HR department.

489
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, the live human beings. Yeah.

490
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 3: I got called into the HR director's office at this

491
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 3: radio station and she explained to me why I could

492
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 3: not talk about girls' asses inside the workplace.

493
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: Wow, that's quite the you.

494
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 3: I'll tell you. I'll tell you one from one of

495
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 3: the I won't say which sports network because I've worked

496
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 3: for a couple. One of them, though, there was a

497
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 3: female employee and a lot of things we would say

498
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 3: on the show. She would come running into the main

499
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 3: studio afterwards and explain to me, you're not in safe harbor.

500
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 3: You're not in safe harbor. You guys think you could

501
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 3: say anything? And it oh Man Ben. When she left

502
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 3: the company, it was such a relief hallelujah.

503
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, hallelujah situas. And we had one of the places

504
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: I worked, I will protect the guilty. So one of

505
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 1: the places we worked, we had a major staff meeting

506
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: for sexual harassment. And there were some former NFL players

507
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 1: that were working at the place I was working at

508
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 1: the time, and one of them, one of them, sat

509
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: in the back of the meeting and was mocking the

510
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: person that was teaching the class. And because they did

511
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: this whole thing about elevator eyes, about how you're not

512
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: supposed like that's sexual harassment if you look at a

513
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: like if you're a dude and you look at a

514
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: woman like up and down, you know.

515
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 3: Oh lord. And by the way, Ben I could relate

516
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 3: to his incident because yeah, I was mentioning female's asses.

517
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 3: We were talking about a rap video. We were playing

518
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 3: a certain song and then we were commenting on the

519
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 3: video give me a f and Break. It's not like

520
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 3: I looked at her and said something about her ass.

521
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 3: She was just mad because she didn't have one exactly exactly.

522
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: You know, I'm right there, I'm right there with you,

523
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: but I remember that particular and then there's see, like

524
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: the problem with the harassment there's a legitimate harassment. And then,

525
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: like anything, there's people that are just out trying to

526
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: make some money and get you know, ruffle feathers, and

527
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: then they complain about everything and it's like, yeah, pain

528
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: in the pain in the behind.

529
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 3: But thank you Marcus for your no you could say,

530
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 3: ask there's no HR department.

531
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're good on that. What else do we have?

532
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: Let see page down here on the mail bag? Do

533
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: a couple more we have. Nick in Wisconsin says, as

534
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,479
Speaker 1: I write this email, I'm currently listening to our number

535
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: two of the Wednesday Original Recipe podcast. I forgot my

536
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: earbuds this morning, and I realized this halfway into my commute.

537
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: So I get to ask the question here, what is

538
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: the worst item that you have realized that you forgot

539
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: on your way to work? Laptop, headphones excluded, always listening,

540
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: just no good questions lately? So thing you forgot that

541
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: you needed that? What are you doing? One time I

542
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: went to the store and I got there and I

543
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,719
Speaker 1: got all my groceries and then I realized I had

544
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: left my wallet at home. That was that was awkward.

545
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: Oh I was at the I'd put everything on the

546
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: thing at the grocery store to pay for it, and

547
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: then I reached into my pocket to grab my wallet

548
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: to pay. I didn't have my wallet. Ben.

549
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 3: I once walked a date all the way up to

550
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 3: the entrance of the Oakland Coliseum for a Raiders Jets

551
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 3: Monday night football game, and we waited forever for security.

552
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 3: We finally get to you know where I needed to

553
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 3: show my tickets. You know that swell the massive cattle

554
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 3: that used to be there near security and the entrance.

555
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 3: So we're in all that mess. And I realized as

556
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 3: I pulled my season tickets out, I grabbed the wrong

557
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 3: season tickets. I grabbed the tickets that were for the

558
00:30:55,400 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 3: next home game from my stack. Luckily they were in

559
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 3: my car, but as you can imagine, my car was

560
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 3: probably a mile away and some you know, off the

561
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 3: beaten path parking lot that and that's a mess all

562
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 3: around that Oakland Coliseum if you know anything about it. Ben,

563
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 3: I left her there at the entrance because I didn't

564
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 3: want her to have to huff and puff back to

565
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 3: the car. I ran, like Carl Lewis, all the way

566
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 3: to my car, got the right tickets, ran all the

567
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 3: way back. I was drenched in sweat by the time

568
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 3: we entered that Monday night football game.

569
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: By the time he got in the stadium, the Raiders

570
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: were down twenty one nine.

571
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 3: No, that's back when they were good. That's back when

572
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 3: Rich Gannon was the quarterback.

573
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a long time ago. All right. How dare

574
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: you Scott from Northern Kentucky, right, sin says Ben and

575
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: Dan G Ben and Danny g as always, I love

576
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: the show every single night and the weekends. What if

577
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: any is your biggest fear or phobia? Your fear of phobia?

578
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 3: Ooh, that's a good question. What's his?

579
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: He says his his heights, He's scared the death of them.

580
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: And then he says, thoughts on the Renaissance Fair and

581
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: the weirdos that go to it. I worked at a

582
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: venue that was right next to it for years. A

583
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: bunch of dirty weirdos, is what I remember. I was

584
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: surprised with you that Loreno works there. Yuck. I hope

585
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: to get to meet you at the Ohio Meet and Greet,

586
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: hopefully in Cincinnati. That's Scott from Northern Kentucky. So biggest

587
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: fear of phobia? What do you got, Danny?

588
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 3: Oh, definitely it is claustrophobia. Yeah, I do not like

589
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 3: being in a tight squeeze. When I was talking about

590
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 3: all those cattle at the entrance, I hate that feeling

591
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 3: when people are shoulder to shoulder with you. I was

592
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 3: inside the Old House of Blues in LA before they

593
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 3: bulldozed it, and they had famous R and B and

594
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 3: hip hop concerts there upstairs. They called it the what

595
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 3: was the name for it. It was like the industry Room,

596
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 3: industry level or some bullshit. They called it like that.

597
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 3: So all the muckety MUCKs were up there, all the

598
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 3: celebrities were up there, and back then radio people were

599
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 3: looked at as celebrities, believe it or not, up there,

600
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 3: And there was an eminem concert Ben when he had

601
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 3: just blown up. And I'm up there and it was

602
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 3: talk about wall to wall. No, I couldn't move. The

603
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 3: flow of the room was not even moving because they

604
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 3: broke fire code. And next to me was the actress.

605
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 3: Oh shoot, she dated fifty cent back in the day.

606
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 3: It's not gonna come to me right now, but famous

607
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 3: actress next to me and her bodyguard was squished next

608
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 3: to her, and I'll never forget because the side of

609
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 3: her was touching me. She probably hated that. She looked

610
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 3: at her bodyguard and she said, get me the fuck

611
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 3: out of here now, dude. I almost had a panic

612
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 3: attack because and you see movie scenes sometimes where like

613
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 3: somebody is trapped alive inside a box or locked in

614
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 3: a closet or a trunk. That freaks me the f

615
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 3: out When I see that, imagine you'd claw your fingernails off.

616
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 3: I just I can't even watch those scenes. I have

617
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 3: to turn the channel.

618
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's beat I it's one of those weird things

619
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: like I've had an MRI or two in my life

620
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: where people say the MRI is a nightmare because the

621
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: thing you're like stuck in that little thing. But that

622
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: didn't really mess me up. But yet, if I'm in

623
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: a place where I don't, I don't see a path

624
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 1: to get out of it. Because even on the MRI,

625
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: I always thought, well, I could just slide up and

626
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: kind of get out of this thing. You know. Yeah,

627
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: I'm in a in a room where I don't. There's

628
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: no real path to get out. That's terrible. The height

629
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: thing is is pretty pretty, you know, solid as well.

630
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,399
Speaker 1: I just you know, the idea that you make one

631
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: mistake and then that and then you're done. That's that's it.

632
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 1: Those are pretty good. And Scott, I have no firm

633
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 1: plans on the Ohio meet and greet, yet I am

634
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: efforting that and I'm going back and forth. But even

635
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: if it's not in Cincinnati, I hope you'll make it.

636
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: And even if it's in Cincinnati, it doesn't guarantee you're

637
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: going to make it. Remember I went to Charleston and Jerome,

638
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: and Charleston did not come to see me because that

639
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: was a couple of blocks away. And I offered to

640
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: buy him a meal and he still said, I I'm

641
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: not doing that, Jake, and Toledo writes in on the back,

642
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,760
Speaker 1: wet a couple more get out of here. On this Sunday,

643
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: final day of the Masters, he says, guys, did you

644
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: see that d P one member the Malam Militia russef

645
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: Re signed. Yes, we talked about that earlier. You were

646
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,959
Speaker 1: not listening. Russef made my kids that in my day

647
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: when he pointed at our Ben Mahler loves Russef signed

648
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: a few years ago. And you get him on the podcast.

649
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:23,240
Speaker 1: That is awesome.

650
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 3: Oh here here he is right here.

651
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: Listen, bet friends, we're best friends. You see that.

652
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 3: Wait, we're pretty impressed. I gotta say it. Usually Ben's

653
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 3: lying about who he's friends with.

654
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: I was wrong, I bet I remember right now.

655
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 4: I remember the story of giving you his shoes because

656
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 4: you were so much step back in the day.

657
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: Remember that, Yes, exactly, see that.

658
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 3: Wait, he gave you shoes.

659
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: That's so good?

660
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, look at that. You really were friends with him?

661
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 3: We doubted you.

662
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: No. It's one of my favorite stories from this dopey

663
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: run I've had in radio is that Russef was a

664
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: penpal when he was going to he was going to

665
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: wrestling school in Florida, and he was homesick, and he's

666
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: from southern California. Is a big Clipper fan, believe it

667
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: or not, Danny, and so he used to listen to

668
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 1: the show and he started emailing me. And at first

669
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about like his story or anything

670
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: like that. And he eventually told me like, Hey, I'm gonna,

671
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm going to school to become a wrestler.

672
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, and then I looked it

673
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: up and the WWE had a school in Tampa, and

674
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: I kind of forgot about him. He stopped, we stopped corresponding,

675
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, I see him on

676
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: TV and I'm like, WHOA, what the f And then

677
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: he came into WrestleMania and a tank, like an old

678
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: German tank or something like that. It was craziness.

679
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 4: What's wrong with your Clippers?

680
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: Nothing's wrong with the Clippers that day, all right? But yeah, Jay,

681
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 1: we should try to get Russeph on. I can see

682
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 1: if I can get in touch with him. He was

683
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: know as or Murrow Muro. I believe it was when

684
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:01,959
Speaker 1: he was known as when he went to the other place,

685
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: but he's back to being Russeph. Last one, Gary in

686
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh rights and says Ben, I was going to use

687
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: this question to break my cherry on the weeknight show,

688
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 1: but since you put up the bat signal for Sunday content,

689
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: we'll do it here instead. I was scanning my TV

690
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 1: guide for something to watch and I came across the channel.

691
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: This channel on the fledgling cable network in the North Woods.

692
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: It was the news channel, but there were some some

693
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: of the programs they had on this Saturday morning. They

694
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: had lane golf, they had I had to google what

695
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 1: that was. Wiffleball All Star Game twenty twenty Tetris Championship

696
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: and a kickball a tourney, among others made up made

697
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 1: up sports, other made up sports, So says the email

698
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 1: here from Gary says, I know you and Danny are

699
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: both playing the world's too smallest violins for them. But

700
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: if things are so bad they moved their operation from

701
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: LA back to Bristol, Connecticut, why not just get rid

702
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: of this channel and save a ton of money? Or

703
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: is it once you get a piece of real estate

704
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: on the dial, you don't give it back. Seems all

705
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: the programming costs would outweigh any franchise fees the cable

706
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: companies give them. Am I off on this? Or is

707
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: there really a robust market for the air guitar playoffs?

708
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: That's from Gary Pittsburgh. Yeah, the whole ESPN thing. They're

709
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: under the Disney umbrella. And you've always got to please

710
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: the taxpayers and not the taxpayers, the stockholders, right, the

711
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: people that invest in the company. And see, you've always

712
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: got to keep turning profits. And I think Gary knows

713
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: how that works. We all know how that works. And

714
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 1: it's a tough thing. There was a point where everyone

715
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: watched Sports Center. It was a very important show and

716
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: people loved it, and unfortunately ESPN just lost their way

717
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: over the years. They sold out to the Wolkesters and

718
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: they're not doing that great, but there's still there's still

719
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: people watching it. I don't know if there's any real

720
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,800
Speaker 1: need for the news channel though, I can't remember the

721
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,760
Speaker 1: last time. We used to watch that all the time.

722
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of things we used to do

723
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 1: that we don't do anymore. So, but you definitely don't

724
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: give up a channel. Very rarely does a channel just

725
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:30,240
Speaker 1: go out of business. Normally they get rebranded, like you'd say, right, well,

726
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 1: we have this, and all those deals are brokered with

727
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: the cable companies and the satellite providers and all that,

728
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: so you don't get rid of it. You just change name.

729
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: For example, I worked at a channel called Versus, which

730
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 1: became NBC Sports Channel NBC Sports Network, and then change

731
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: names again and became I don't know what it is now.

732
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: I think it's like some outdoor channels or something like that.

733
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,240
Speaker 1: But when I worked there, originally it was called Versus

734
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: and then they switched the name of it, but they

735
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: didn't get rid of it, you know, just doesn't disappear.

736
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 1: So on that note, Danny, I will get out of here.

737
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: It is a the end of the day here and said,

738
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: watch the end of the Masters later today, this afternoon,

739
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 1: and then tonight be back in the Magic Audio Box

740
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: to break it all down and start out a new

741
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,280
Speaker 1: week of programming here and coach you'd like to share with? Yes?

742
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,360

00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:29,799
