0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Cutbooms.

0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:05.360
<v Speaker 2>If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:09.200
<v Speaker 2>a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.480
<v Speaker 2>of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He

0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:15.480
<v Speaker 2>treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 2>rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.320
<v Speaker 2>The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.

0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:30.680

<v Speaker 1>Ben and the great Danny G. Radio. You hear us

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:52.680
<v Speaker 1>during the week on the mighty powerful airwaves of Fox

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio on the overnight show, The Ben Maler Show

0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 1>with Me and Danny's on with Covino and Rich during

0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 1>the pending on what time you're in, either afternoons or evenings,

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:07.679
<v Speaker 1>something along those lines, depending on your time zone, unless

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 1>you're in Hawaii and then it's a morning show. So

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 1>we do have the mail bag today. We're excited about that.

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:18.960
<v Speaker 1>It is the final round of the Masters in Augusta, Georgia.

0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 1>So that's going on. They don't have fans all.

0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 3>Do you know that Dan Bayer from the Network, he

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 3>is such a fan of golf and the Masters, especially

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 3>that he took two days off last Thursday and Friday

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 3>so that he could sit at home and enjoy it

0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 3>uninterrupted and Spotty from Covino and Richie made a funny joke.

0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 3>He said he pictured Buyer's wife dressed up with him

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 3>in cosplay, like he said, probably dressed her up as

0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 3>a caddie.

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, does he wear a green jacket while he's watching in.

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 3>Just a green jacket? Time for the ball washing.

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm surprised he doesn't go to the Masters.

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sure if he's ever been. I'm gonna have

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 3>to ask him when he returns to work next week.

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Remember we got asked to go. We had a place

0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:14.960
<v Speaker 1>to stay in everything. Yeah, the guy's a fan of

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 1>this podcast and he's, hey, I got some You know,

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:21.079
<v Speaker 1>we never did it, but one of my radio friends,

0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Ted Ted sobol you know Ted, he he actually covered.

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>He's covered the Master a few Masters. A few times.

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:29.799
<v Speaker 1>They have I don't know if they still do, but

0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 1>they had a a media raffle where certain members of

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>the media got to play around at the Masters. If

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.400
<v Speaker 1>you won this raffle, you got to play around. So

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 1>like that's mind blowing for a guy like Dan Byer,

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>like who works at our Spot, our Spots. So I'm

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 1>surprised Dan hasn't done that because you could win the

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 1>lottery and then you get to play around at the

0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.799
<v Speaker 1>iconic course there and you can go pee and Ray's Creek.

0:02:55.919 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Like did you see you see the viral video the

0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:09.239
<v Speaker 1>somebody was interviewing people coming out of the Master's golf shop.

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 1>This was on TikTok. I saw this the other day

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 1>on how much people were spending on souvenirs at the Masters,

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:22.239
<v Speaker 1>and they the average amount was like fifteen hundred, two

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:26.840
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars per person just going in there casually dropping

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:31.160
<v Speaker 1>two grand on what do you get for two thousand

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 1>dollars at the Masters? That one person said they spent

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>like it was like five thousand, but it was the

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 1>in the video, and who knows, I mean, this may

0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 1>have been they might have been leaving out the people

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>didn't spend any money, but it was all like fifteen

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>hundred two thousand. There was like a five thousand wild

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 1>you buy out like a Master's bobblehead or something like that,

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Like what how how much does the hoodie cost the Masters? I? Hey,

0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 1>good for you. I give you got the money to burn? Right,

0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm assuming the client tell there at the Master's, Danny,

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 1>they got a lot of extra money. If you're going

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:03.560
<v Speaker 1>to the Master's, chances are you got a lot a

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of extra cash.

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh you have, yeah, you have money to burn if

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.520
<v Speaker 3>you are at the Masters. Do you know what you

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 3>think Coachella is bad for paying for somewhere to stay?

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:17.080
<v Speaker 3>What it's four or five times the normal rate for

0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.200
<v Speaker 3>Airbnb's there during the Masters?

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh it's yeah, it's insane. Okay, speaking of Kachella, did

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.080
<v Speaker 1>you see the other day there was a twelve hour

0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:29.400
<v Speaker 1>traffic delay? Oh yeah, I get out to Kachella and

0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.479
<v Speaker 1>they said people it was much like the Masters. People

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.120
<v Speaker 1>were getting out and they were pulling out the snake

0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:37.200
<v Speaker 1>to pee on the side of the road out there

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.839
<v Speaker 1>in the desert, trying to get because there was nowhere

0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:42.320
<v Speaker 1>to go. They had to go to the bathrooms, so

0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.239
<v Speaker 1>they would just let it rip right out there waiting

0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 1>to try to get into Kachella. Man now has that

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:51.280
<v Speaker 1>been hijacked. I we had you with us, remember the year.

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you were this or not, but

0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:53.919
<v Speaker 1>there was a guy that said he was going to

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.400
<v Speaker 1>get his passes to Kachella one year.

0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:00.120
<v Speaker 3>I was with you when that happened. Yeah.

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So the guy's like, oh, yeah, we're gonna We're

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna get everyone. They gots a big fan of the

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.839
<v Speaker 1>show and get you all pass it. And Coop was excited.

0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, Coop was fired up. This is like the

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>coolest in the world. And it was very kind. It

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.479
<v Speaker 1>was what we were excited about it. I was not

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.000
<v Speaker 1>as excited because it's not really my jam, but I

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:19.880
<v Speaker 1>would have gone and to just experience it. And then

0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:22.640
<v Speaker 1>like it was like a week before, right, and all

0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:24.920
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, like the guy started kind of ghosting

0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:26.400
<v Speaker 1>us a little bit, right remember, And.

0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:29.400
<v Speaker 3>Then yeah, and then he gave me the bad news

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.800
<v Speaker 3>that his connection fell through.

0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, has Cella been hijacked? Like comic con has? Like

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:41.800
<v Speaker 1>the old school comic book people are bothered because the

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:45.919
<v Speaker 1>movie studios discovered that comic con was really popular and

0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.920
<v Speaker 1>they can monetize it. So then they started moving into

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:53.240
<v Speaker 1>comic con and putting all their big corporate displays when

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.560
<v Speaker 1>that was not the ethos of what Comic con was

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:57.640
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be. Right, Comic Coon was supposed to be

0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 1>just this nerd convention where none of the mainstream people

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:05.480
<v Speaker 1>were there. Well, Coachella wasn't it the same thing for music? Right?

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 1>It was just kind of you know, that was the

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 1>jam and the vibe and all that. You just go

0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:10.279
<v Speaker 1>out there, do a lot of you know, the do

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.160
<v Speaker 1>the drugs, have a good time, drink a little bit

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 1>with some music.

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:13.520
<v Speaker 3>Yep.

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 1>And but now having the big record companies moved in

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.160
<v Speaker 1>to Coachella is at the same situation. Am I right

0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:20.120
<v Speaker 1>on that? Yeah?

0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 3>Popularity wise, that shouldn't be an issue, But there's all

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 3>this price gouging going on. And you look at this

0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 3>generation right now, a lot of them go because it's

0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:33.840
<v Speaker 3>a photo op. It's like the cool place to be. Yeah,

0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:35.760
<v Speaker 3>And I think of Comic On You're right, it was

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:39.280
<v Speaker 3>solely for the nerds and your very own Justin Cooper

0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:44.320
<v Speaker 3>could have a table there signing liar liar headshots.

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:46.200
<v Speaker 4>Heckers driving Cooper.

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 1>When I was in when when I worked in San Diego,

0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 1>my early I was a kid at the mighty six

0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:59.160
<v Speaker 1>ninety and I remember Comic Con like it was it

0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:02.880
<v Speaker 1>was going on whatever, but it wasn't like that big

0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 1>a thing. It was just in the nerd community. And

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:10.280
<v Speaker 1>then over the years obviously getting older and it's just

0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:14.640
<v Speaker 1>just wild and crazy and wacky and all that. Let's

0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 1>get to the mail bag, though, we have actual letters

0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:20.400

0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 1>It's gotta be John Cena versus Cody Rhodes. I used

0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.280
<v Speaker 1>to like Sena when he was a good guy, but

0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:30.200
<v Speaker 1>he's a bad guy now. And I hope Cody wins,

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:34.680

<v Speaker 1>but I the Clippers. Yeah, it is hip, the clip wrong.

0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:57.680
<v Speaker 3>The bottom falls out underneath of them for some reason.

0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Why are you so negative the Clippers?

0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.120
<v Speaker 3>It's what's always happened, unfortunately for you.

0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:06.720
<v Speaker 1>They're on a heater and the key to the Clippers

0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 1>their new glue.

0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 3>Guys, guy, I remember what you Yeah, I remember what

0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:17.080
<v Speaker 3>you used to say about him when he was a Laker.

0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, I never talked about him. But the Lakers

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 1>were irrelevant when Blossom. Yeah, clearly.

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:26.240
<v Speaker 3>But what do you think is going to happen as

0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:29.560
<v Speaker 3>far as uh the rest of the West. Here we're

0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:33.760
<v Speaker 3>waiting on all the dominoes to fall in place for.

0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:38.120
<v Speaker 1>This final day. The NBA regular season today. So yeah,

0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:42.120
<v Speaker 1>so the Clippers have out performed what I thought they

0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.400
<v Speaker 1>would do. But uh, you know, we always in the

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:46.680
<v Speaker 1>back of our mind and not really in the back

0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 1>of our mind, in the front of our mind. We're

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:52.000
<v Speaker 1>just trying to guess. I was thinking. I was thinking

0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:54.640
<v Speaker 1>about bringing back an old bit on the show this week,

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Danny NBA injury Bingo.

0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:06.480
<v Speaker 3>Where oh boy, uh that is just like book I

0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:11.160
<v Speaker 3>remember Fielding the complaint calls what we how dare he

0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 3>wished for injury on these four points?

0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, no, we don't want anyone to get hurt, but

0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:20.280
<v Speaker 1>if they do get hurt, wink, we want to we

0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.200
<v Speaker 1>want to take advantage of that. So I would think,

0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.560
<v Speaker 1>like Kawhi Leonard would be the top pick in injury

0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 1>NBA injury Bingo. I would think Kawhi would be the.

0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 3>He's right up there, he'd be top three for sure.

0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, brother, I I'm pretty I'm pretty sure

0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.800
<v Speaker 1>we're going to bring back in NBA injury bingo. I'm

0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:42.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm like eighty five percent. So as far as

0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:46.280
<v Speaker 1>the wrestling, the only wrestler I care about is Ruthef So.

0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh boy, did he retire?

0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:52.520
<v Speaker 1>No, he's back. He's actually just signed with WWE again.

0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.880
<v Speaker 1>He went russef went over and changed his name. He

0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 1>went to the other outfit, and he just re signed

0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.200
<v Speaker 1>with the WWE. So he's going to be back as Russeph,

0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:05.800
<v Speaker 1>which is exciting. So I don't know exactly when and whatnot.

0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Tony in the Bay Area right says, case.

0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:13.000
<v Speaker 3>Don't interrupt Old Cogan. I'm a real American.

0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:16.280
<v Speaker 1>I need those Viamins. I need the Hulk beer. Tony

0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Bay says, can you talk about your radio show calling days? Well,

0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:22.400
<v Speaker 1>there's not a lot to talk about, Tony. I wasn't

0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.760
<v Speaker 1>as famous as you. Tony calls up and says like

0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.680
<v Speaker 1>he says bad words on the show, and I love

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Tony in the Bay He's such a good, good caller.

0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:32.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I'm the only one that likes

0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Tony's work, but I always laugh when Tony. Tony's on

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.080
<v Speaker 1>the air, he doesn't stay on long. He's got a

0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.800
<v Speaker 1>point and then he usually says a bad word and

0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 1>I just laugh. I laugh. He's one of the guys.

0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Almost every time Tony calls, he says something that kind

0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:45.480
<v Speaker 1>of makes me smile.

0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:48.240
<v Speaker 3>Here's a clip of one of his calls blank my

0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:49.320
<v Speaker 3>blank and blank you.

0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Pretty much that's the way it goes. Well. We had

0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 1>a really funny moment the other night with Angry Bill. Also,

0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 1>when Angry Bill he calls up, and no matter when

0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:02.680
<v Speaker 1>I take Anger Bill's call, he always bitches about whoever

0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:05.240
<v Speaker 1>was on just before him, you gotta put why'd you

0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:07.160
<v Speaker 1>gotta put me on? After? You know? Call her x?

0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:10.000
<v Speaker 4>And then he complains yes, And I would have MLB

0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:13.040
<v Speaker 4>put Angry Bill in his sheat right behind home plate

0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.480
<v Speaker 4>and have a ball hit him square in the eye

0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.240
<v Speaker 4>and say you help on yourself at.

0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Mal Oh that is outstanding. That is great audio. I

0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:26.040
<v Speaker 1>love it. So anyway before I was preemptive this time,

0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:27.480
<v Speaker 1>so I'd put Angry Bill on. I think it was

0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:30.360
<v Speaker 1>the end of hour three, and so he's complaining, so

0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:32.120
<v Speaker 1>I put him back on hold. So then an hour

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.720
<v Speaker 1>four I'm like, all, we'll take We'll take Angry Bill.

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.199
<v Speaker 1>So preemptively I said, oh, let's go to Angry Bill.

0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.439
<v Speaker 1>I can tell you what he's gonna say. I'm paraphrazy,

0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:41.520
<v Speaker 1>but he'll be, oh, well, are you gonna put me on?

0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:45.320
<v Speaker 1>After hollering James and all. So I put him on,

0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.640
<v Speaker 1>and Angry Bill says, Ben Mallard go and then like

0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.080
<v Speaker 1>f yourself and he said the full thing right there,

0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:54.120
<v Speaker 1>and it was. It was very funny, very good, but

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.120
<v Speaker 1>no Tony. When I was a kid, I called radio shows,

0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.720
<v Speaker 1>believe or not. I called Lee Hamilton, who I would

0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:02.280
<v Speaker 1>intern for. He was a mentor of mine in San Diego,

0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Hacksaw Hamilton the high speed sports wire. Every once in

0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:08.319
<v Speaker 1>a while, it was a big deal. When I was

0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.400
<v Speaker 1>a kid, I would be the first caller to Lee Hamilton,

0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.560
<v Speaker 1>and he said, break the ice. Let's break the ice

0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:16.560
<v Speaker 1>was his line, and I always remember I was very excited.

0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.160
<v Speaker 1>I was an honor. To be the first caller meant

0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:22.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot. But my fondest members were actually calling late

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.280
<v Speaker 1>night radio, which I guess was an omen of things

0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.760
<v Speaker 1>to come in my life because I would listen late

0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:29.840
<v Speaker 1>at night and scan around the radio dial and I

0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.160
<v Speaker 1>used to listen to all these far away NBA broadcasts

0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:35.840
<v Speaker 1>and baseball broadcasts from different cities in the West, and

0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:39.160
<v Speaker 1>I would call into late night radio shows. I remember,

0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:41.120
<v Speaker 1>here's a story I don't think I've told. There was

0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:45.880
<v Speaker 1>a radio show that came out of the Boston area,

0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:51.439
<v Speaker 1>and it was they did like sports trivia at night overnight,

0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:54.720
<v Speaker 1>and I called in to play a couple of times,

0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.679
<v Speaker 1>and one of the hosts, Dandy, was a guy named

0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Tim Neverett who is now a Dodger radio broadcaster.

0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:03.479
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's crazy.

0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:06.400
<v Speaker 1>It's a small world, after all, it's a small, small world.

0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:10.120
<v Speaker 1>I called into that. My favorite memories were this little

0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:14.760
<v Speaker 1>radio show in Vegas that I got boomed into la

0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.160
<v Speaker 1>and they were on the weekend overnight. These two like

0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:22.640
<v Speaker 1>lifelong radio guys, and I don't remember their names, but

0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.840
<v Speaker 1>I called it into that show pretty much every Friday

0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:28.600
<v Speaker 1>and Saturday night and they would leave me on for

0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:33.400
<v Speaker 1>like seven eight minutes, and it was like crazy. Their

0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:35.840
<v Speaker 1>theme song was after Midnight. That was their theme song.

0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Very original, I know. I thought I must be the

0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:43.920
<v Speaker 1>greatest caller to their show because they leave me on

0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:45.480
<v Speaker 1>for so long, and every other show would get me

0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:47.520
<v Speaker 1>on and get me off the air quickly, right, So

0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh, man, I must be killing it.

0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:54.080
<v Speaker 1>And then I realized after I asked the call screener

0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:57.200
<v Speaker 1>one time, I said, what's what's going on? And I

0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.320
<v Speaker 1>was the only one calling. No one else. No one

0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.520
<v Speaker 1>else was called, so they had no one else to

0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:06.400
<v Speaker 1>talk to. So that's why they left me on. And

0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:08.320
<v Speaker 1>I used to listen to this show called the start

0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Us Line out of Vegas. This is how archaic the

0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:16.160
<v Speaker 1>world was, Nanny. It was Sunday night from ten o'clock

0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:20.160
<v Speaker 1>till midnight on Sunday in the days before the internet.

0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:23.360
<v Speaker 1>And this guy Lee Pete, who was a famous radio

0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:27.080
<v Speaker 1>guy in Vegas. He hosted the start Us Line and

0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:29.760
<v Speaker 1>they got I think it was like eleven o'clock at

0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:34.560
<v Speaker 1>night on Sunday. They released the next week NFL lines.

0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 1>And this is in the days before the internet. This

0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:40.720
<v Speaker 1>is the first place to get the NFL lines. Nobody

0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:44.440
<v Speaker 1>else had the lines for the following week in the NFL.

0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:49.400
<v Speaker 1>But I didn't call that show, so it doesn't really count.

0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:53.240
<v Speaker 1>But I just remember, just remember that next show it.

0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:57.640
<v Speaker 3>That's what it sounded like. I'm checked up about it.

0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:01.480
<v Speaker 1>That's right, man, that's whole morning. Guy Alf from the

0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Penalty Box writes in he says, Ben, any truth to

0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:10.400
<v Speaker 1>the rumor that Lorraine uh was absent from her post

0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:12.720
<v Speaker 1>because she was serving a one show suspension of being

0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:20.120
<v Speaker 1>caught cheating at Are you smarter than an FSR tech producer? Yeah, Well,

0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:25.800
<v Speaker 1>that's a great point. Lorena did get caught red handed

0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:29.000
<v Speaker 1>cheating at the game we cooked up because of this

0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:32.200
<v Speaker 1>podcast for her, and I have a feeling she's also

0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.680
<v Speaker 1>going to be suspended this week for another day, so

0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:37.920
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a multi show suspension. ALF stay tuned

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:43.320
<v Speaker 1>developing hot dot dot dot. And ALF also says, since

0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Dannig is the gatekeeper of the drop archive, can I

0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:54.720
<v Speaker 1>get a long distance dedication for felexis in Medina? I

0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:59.840
<v Speaker 1>like to wrestle with men or Jeff Garcia's I didn't

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:04.920
<v Speaker 1>feel real crisp? That is from ALF. Those are two

0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:09.720
<v Speaker 1>classic soundbites on the show. So Danny, you are the gatekeeper.

0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:13.359
<v Speaker 1>You have you're sitting at Fort Knox when it comes

0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:16.040
<v Speaker 1>to the drops and the history of the show and

0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.400
<v Speaker 1>all that. So that's what ALF would like to hear.

0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:23.600
<v Speaker 3>I see some felexus here. Let's see all right, let's see.

0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:25.520
<v Speaker 3>Let's see what this Let's see what this one is.

0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:29.359
<v Speaker 3>I'd like to alert all the affiliates down the line

0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:32.639
<v Speaker 3>that some felexus classic clip is about to play.

<v Speaker 1>All right, put on some good pantyhose here we go.

0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:40.560
<v Speaker 4>All right, a good one.

0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:57.400
<v Speaker 5>Yes, this is perfect number number nine.

0:17:51.320 --> 0:18:00.000
<v Speaker 1>That proves it prooves you jackass. Okay, this proves it.

0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:04.720
<v Speaker 1>All of this is just tom it. Just get with it,

0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:09.159

<v Speaker 3>I'll go.

0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:19.080
<v Speaker 1>He's not gonna get what I want to the angle

0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:22.880
<v Speaker 1>i'd like to go. I will go. I'll just throw

0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:33.520
<v Speaker 1>this out fruit banana.

0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:40.000
<v Speaker 3>You got it right, of course he got banana, correct.

0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:44.800
<v Speaker 1>I think you would get that right away. That's that

0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Garcia drop the crisp one that got more airplay

0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:51.159
<v Speaker 1>on Sports rate that played for about ten years on

0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:54.280
<v Speaker 1>sports radio. The Jeff Garcia when he was with the

0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:57.280
<v Speaker 1>forty nine ers, and he had such a high pitched voice.

0:18:57.960 --> 0:18:59.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I found it. I found it's right here.

0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:01.919
<v Speaker 1>I just didn't feel real crisp.

0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:06.800
<v Speaker 3>He sounds like flexus.

0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:12.600
<v Speaker 1>There athletes that have high pitched voices that don't seem

0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:14.840
<v Speaker 1>like they should have high pitched boy like a quarterback

0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:16.639
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Garcia.

0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:21.080
<v Speaker 3>Dave Stewart of the A's wore his hat brim down

0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:23.560
<v Speaker 3>low above his eyes. He was very intimidating. But then

0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:27.360
<v Speaker 3>when he spoke to the media after ten strikeouts, he.

0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Talked like this, I know Dave Stewart, that's the go to. Yeah,

0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:33.760
<v Speaker 1>he had the very high pitched voice the Mets. Who

0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:37.000
<v Speaker 1>is that third baseman the Mets had? Right, it was

0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:39.440
<v Speaker 1>David Right. I forget, but he had a very high

0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:42.960
<v Speaker 1>pitched yeah, David right. Good. Right, there you go. There's

0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:46.119
<v Speaker 1>another one added to the big board. What's next? On

0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:49.880
<v Speaker 1>the mailbag? AJ from jay Z not sure whether he's

0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:53.320
<v Speaker 1>from Northern Jersey or southern New Jersey. He said, Hey, Ben,

0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:56.840
<v Speaker 1>I know it's the Masters this weekend. Jim Nance said

0:19:56.840 --> 0:20:00.600
<v Speaker 1>that it's refreshing that the Masters broadcast is not allowed

0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:03.960
<v Speaker 1>to reference money. Do you and Danny agree that this

0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:07.359
<v Speaker 1>is refreshing or disagree that this is refreshing? That is

0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:12.520
<v Speaker 1>from AJ in Jersey. I haven't really thought much about it. Aja.

0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:17.080
<v Speaker 1>That being said, I don't like censorship, and money is

0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:20.600
<v Speaker 1>part of sports. This is big business, and I don't

0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:22.560
<v Speaker 1>think you can completely ignore it. You shouldn't make it

0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:24.439
<v Speaker 1>the only thing you talk about. But to say that

0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:28.919
<v Speaker 1>you're not allowed to reference money when money is like,

0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:33.000
<v Speaker 1>that's one of the driving forces of winning the Masters.

0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:35.919
<v Speaker 1>It's not just the green jacket and all that. And

0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:38.320
<v Speaker 1>you get to pick out the menu for next Year's dinner.

0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:42.760
<v Speaker 1>It's that you win a big pile of money, and

0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:46.720
<v Speaker 1>everyone that talks about later today when the Masters is over,

0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:49.719
<v Speaker 1>assuming there's no weather issues and it continues into Monday.

0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:53.719
<v Speaker 1>But if it's over today, it'll be like so and

0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:56.320
<v Speaker 1>so won the Masters and they won blank, and we'll

0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:58.800
<v Speaker 1>say how much money they want? So tell them to

0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:02.880
<v Speaker 1>bring me my money. The other thing, too, Danny, is

0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:06.440
<v Speaker 1>does anyone like, does this guy aj or anyone else

0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:09.600
<v Speaker 1>think jim Nantz is going to say anything to criticize

0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:13.040
<v Speaker 1>the Masters. That is his baby. That is his baby.

0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:16.919
<v Speaker 1>He is as known as mister Masters as anybody. So

0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:19.879
<v Speaker 1>he's not going to do anything. He's a partner with

0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:22.240
<v Speaker 1>the Masters. Nance isn't gonna come out. So I don't

0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:24.600
<v Speaker 1>want you know, I disagree with this. We should talk

0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:27.359
<v Speaker 1>about money. He's never gonna say that, all right. Next

0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:29.639
<v Speaker 1>up is Kevin in Kansas, he says, Dear Ben and

0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Danny g As, I am visiting family in Fargo. I

0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:37.840
<v Speaker 1>stopped at the Roger Merris Museum, the Native Son, of course,

0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:42.080
<v Speaker 1>the great state of North Dakota. He says. Here's a picture.

0:21:42.080 --> 0:21:44.600
<v Speaker 1>He sent along, a picture of a baseball game he

0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:48.840
<v Speaker 1>endorsed it's old school, but I'll bet it's fun at

0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:52.560
<v Speaker 1>the time. What old school sports games do you remember playing?

0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:57.640
<v Speaker 1>That is from Kevin in Kansas.

0:21:57.680 --> 0:22:00.480
<v Speaker 3>Any old Oh yeah, is he talking like pick? We're

0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:03.439
<v Speaker 3>in the backyard. We'd put two old gloves down on

0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:04.640
<v Speaker 3>the ground as the bases.

0:22:05.480 --> 0:22:08.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, yeah, that was good. And remember we played

0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:11.360
<v Speaker 1>it was called smear the something I forget.

0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:17.520
<v Speaker 3>The uh smear the felexus.

0:22:19.880 --> 0:22:22.840
<v Speaker 1>That was. That was an enjoyable game on the player.

0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:27.000
<v Speaker 1>They you know we did some of the games we did.

0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:29.280
<v Speaker 1>They still did it, like the dodgeball. I think they're

0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:32.280
<v Speaker 1>not even allowed to do dodgeball anymore. Right, kids could

0:22:32.280 --> 0:22:34.919
<v Speaker 1>get hurt you kind of play dodgeball? What's wrong with you?

0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:37.600
<v Speaker 3>How about butts up? Did you ever play that?

0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:37.840
<v Speaker 4>Ga?

0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:22:38.520 --> 0:22:41.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, butts up? And we played with that heavy racquetball,

0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:45.879
<v Speaker 3>the blue purpleish racquetball, and you had to run and

0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:48.439
<v Speaker 3>touch the you know, it would be like either a

0:22:48.440 --> 0:22:51.159
<v Speaker 3>handball wall or just a concrete wall. You had to

0:22:51.240 --> 0:22:54.359
<v Speaker 3>run up touch the wall if you mishandled the ball,

0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:57.080
<v Speaker 3>and if someone else picked it up and their throat

0:22:57.080 --> 0:22:59.359
<v Speaker 3>to the wall, beat you before your hand touched the wall.

0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:02.920
<v Speaker 3>You to stand up there face first against the wall

0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:05.879
<v Speaker 3>and they got a free fastball pitch at the back

0:23:05.920 --> 0:23:09.040
<v Speaker 3>of you, supposedly trying to get your ass, but we

0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:11.560
<v Speaker 3>would get beaned in the kidney, in the back of

0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:14.199
<v Speaker 3>the neck. Ahead there was kids. They would play this

0:23:14.240 --> 0:23:16.040
<v Speaker 3>at the bus stop ben here in La when I

0:23:16.080 --> 0:23:18.639
<v Speaker 3>was a little kid, and I remember kids blubbering on

0:23:18.680 --> 0:23:21.040
<v Speaker 3>the bus because when the bus would arrive, the kid

0:23:21.080 --> 0:23:23.040
<v Speaker 3>that got being the hardest in the back, would still

0:23:23.080 --> 0:23:28.520
<v Speaker 3>be crying. Oh that's great. It was super violent.

0:23:29.640 --> 0:23:33.119
<v Speaker 1>I remember the playgrounds that we had as kids, Danny

0:23:33.119 --> 0:23:36.320
<v Speaker 1>with all the metal and in the summer, how hot,

0:23:36.800 --> 0:23:40.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, the playground stuff would get and some of

0:23:40.880 --> 0:23:43.840
<v Speaker 1>the there was a slide in the neighborhood I grew

0:23:43.920 --> 0:23:47.199
<v Speaker 1>up in that had like chain link and it was

0:23:47.240 --> 0:23:50.000
<v Speaker 1>a very hot metal slide. Like they didn't even give

0:23:50.040 --> 0:23:52.240
<v Speaker 1>a shit about trying to keep the kids safe at all.

0:23:52.280 --> 0:23:54.119
<v Speaker 1>It was just like whatever, just go out there and

0:23:54.119 --> 0:23:56.960
<v Speaker 1>have fun. And it was a wild.

0:23:56.800 --> 0:23:59.240
<v Speaker 3>Half that stuff was rusty too, oh.

0:23:59.119 --> 0:24:03.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, oh yeah, rusty. And I remember this slide which

0:24:03.440 --> 0:24:07.240
<v Speaker 1>was really cool. So you climb up it was pretty

0:24:07.320 --> 0:24:11.200
<v Speaker 1>high up and you had to crawl through this little

0:24:11.240 --> 0:24:14.080
<v Speaker 1>tiny hole to get in there and then I could

0:24:14.119 --> 0:24:16.280
<v Speaker 1>do it a little. We'd get in there and it

0:24:16.400 --> 0:24:19.119
<v Speaker 1>smelled like urine because the teenagers at night would go

0:24:19.160 --> 0:24:22.520
<v Speaker 1>in there and piss or whatever, and it was disgusting

0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:25.040
<v Speaker 1>and as you said, a little rusty and whatever. But

0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:29.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, fond memories as an adult. Kwang rites in

0:24:29.760 --> 0:24:33.280
<v Speaker 1>from Vietnam. He says, Ho Chim in Vietnam. That's what

0:24:33.320 --> 0:24:35.680
<v Speaker 1>he says in the email. Anyway, big Man and Danny

0:24:35.720 --> 0:24:38.639
<v Speaker 1>g Yeah, did you see that LeVar Ball opened up

0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:41.760
<v Speaker 1>about his condition that led to his amputation. He sends

0:24:41.800 --> 0:24:43.879
<v Speaker 1>the link sent a link here from the USA Today.

0:24:44.200 --> 0:24:46.080
<v Speaker 1>He says, you guys should try to get him on

0:24:46.359 --> 0:24:48.360
<v Speaker 1>the pod. I would love to talk to LeVar Ball

0:24:48.359 --> 0:24:52.000
<v Speaker 1>if he's available. You think we can track down LeVar Ball?

0:24:52.280 --> 0:24:53.480
<v Speaker 1>You think you do it? Or we have to pay

0:24:53.520 --> 0:24:55.160
<v Speaker 1>him like ten grand to do the podcast.

0:24:55.240 --> 0:24:58.399
<v Speaker 3>I remember how it depends if he's pushing something.

0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:00.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's true. If he's got some to remote will

0:25:00.680 --> 0:25:05.360
<v Speaker 1>probably we'll probably get him to do that for sure. Ball.

0:25:08.000 --> 0:25:10.360
<v Speaker 1>Stay in your lane, Dan, you got to stay in

0:25:10.440 --> 0:25:13.240
<v Speaker 1>your lane. It's not a referee. I'm not gonna have

0:25:13.320 --> 0:25:14.240
<v Speaker 1>my guy's paying hard.

0:25:14.280 --> 0:25:16.119
<v Speaker 2>It ain't cheat I don't think that.

0:25:17.040 --> 0:25:18.800
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's get on out of here, take some

0:25:18.840 --> 0:25:23.320
<v Speaker 1>photos with my folks. Though. Man, there you go, great

0:25:23.359 --> 0:25:26.280
<v Speaker 1>LeVar Ball. What a character. For about two months he

0:25:26.440 --> 0:25:30.520
<v Speaker 1>was a big star. Marcus in San Antonio rights into

0:25:30.560 --> 0:25:33.440
<v Speaker 1>the mail bag. He says, changed jobs about a year ago,

0:25:33.560 --> 0:25:37.480
<v Speaker 1>stayed with my within my current profession, and was slightly recruited,

0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:41.679
<v Speaker 1>so it was a fairly easy transition my new place

0:25:41.800 --> 0:25:44.760
<v Speaker 1>of employment as a lot of younger people working there,

0:25:44.760 --> 0:25:47.840
<v Speaker 1>it's more of a clinical setting. I recently had a

0:25:47.880 --> 0:25:51.640
<v Speaker 1>conversation with my supervisor because I had made a comment

0:25:51.720 --> 0:25:55.960
<v Speaker 1>to another coworker. The comment was nice boots. I was

0:25:56.000 --> 0:25:59.919
<v Speaker 1>told it sounded too much like nice boobs that he

0:26:00.000 --> 0:26:02.439
<v Speaker 1>The meeting was fairly casual and pretty sure my boss

0:26:02.520 --> 0:26:06.359
<v Speaker 1>understood people were being hyper sensitive. My question is, and

0:26:06.480 --> 0:26:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Danny G might be more suited to answer this, have

0:26:09.640 --> 0:26:12.000
<v Speaker 1>you guys experienced anything like this over the years. I

0:26:12.040 --> 0:26:15.760
<v Speaker 1>mentioned Danny G because only because this history of FM

0:26:15.880 --> 0:26:20.960
<v Speaker 1>radio and all the possible hijinks that can ensue from

0:26:21.320 --> 0:26:26.880
<v Speaker 1>working in the genre. Much appreciation for the read, and

0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:30.320
<v Speaker 1>he says the most entertaining podcast A bit. We're very

0:26:30.359 --> 0:26:33.159
<v Speaker 1>kind from Marcus, so I think what he's asking is,

0:26:33.200 --> 0:26:35.440
<v Speaker 1>have you gotten in trouble with HR? Have you gotten

0:26:35.440 --> 0:26:36.640
<v Speaker 1>in trouble with HR at all?

0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:40.760
<v Speaker 3>I've been spoken to, and it wasn't just me. There

0:26:40.880 --> 0:26:43.399
<v Speaker 3>was this DJ who did mid Days on one of

0:26:43.440 --> 0:26:46.960
<v Speaker 3>my FM radio stations, and I won't say her name, Jackie,

0:26:47.800 --> 0:26:53.640
<v Speaker 3>but she was very sensitive and I said I made

0:26:53.680 --> 0:26:58.480
<v Speaker 3>some sort of comment about girls' asses, and I got

0:26:58.480 --> 0:27:02.040
<v Speaker 3>called into the HR. We don't have those anymore. Remember

0:27:02.040 --> 0:27:03.720
<v Speaker 3>when we had an HR department.

0:27:03.600 --> 0:27:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the live human beings. Yeah.

0:27:07.280 --> 0:27:10.159
<v Speaker 3>I got called into the HR director's office at this

0:27:10.280 --> 0:27:13.160
<v Speaker 3>radio station and she explained to me why I could

0:27:13.160 --> 0:27:15.680
<v Speaker 3>not talk about girls' asses inside the workplace.

0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that's quite the you.

0:27:19.960 --> 0:27:22.399
<v Speaker 3>I'll tell you. I'll tell you one from one of

0:27:22.400 --> 0:27:24.640
<v Speaker 3>the I won't say which sports network because I've worked

0:27:24.640 --> 0:27:27.600
<v Speaker 3>for a couple. One of them, though, there was a

0:27:27.720 --> 0:27:33.000
<v Speaker 3>female employee and a lot of things we would say

0:27:33.040 --> 0:27:36.040
<v Speaker 3>on the show. She would come running into the main

0:27:36.119 --> 0:27:40.240
<v Speaker 3>studio afterwards and explain to me, you're not in safe harbor.

0:27:40.720 --> 0:27:43.400
<v Speaker 3>You're not in safe harbor. You guys think you could

0:27:43.400 --> 0:27:47.680
<v Speaker 3>say anything? And it oh Man Ben. When she left

0:27:47.720 --> 0:27:51.919
<v Speaker 3>the company, it was such a relief hallelujah.

0:27:52.000 --> 0:27:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, hallelujah situas. And we had one of the places

0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:58.879
<v Speaker 1>I worked, I will protect the guilty. So one of

0:27:58.880 --> 0:28:02.399
<v Speaker 1>the places we worked, we had a major staff meeting

0:28:03.160 --> 0:28:09.040
<v Speaker 1>for sexual harassment. And there were some former NFL players

0:28:09.040 --> 0:28:10.879
<v Speaker 1>that were working at the place I was working at

0:28:10.920 --> 0:28:14.400
<v Speaker 1>the time, and one of them, one of them, sat

0:28:14.400 --> 0:28:18.280
<v Speaker 1>in the back of the meeting and was mocking the

0:28:18.440 --> 0:28:22.399
<v Speaker 1>person that was teaching the class. And because they did

0:28:22.440 --> 0:28:25.320
<v Speaker 1>this whole thing about elevator eyes, about how you're not

0:28:25.320 --> 0:28:28.840
<v Speaker 1>supposed like that's sexual harassment if you look at a

0:28:29.440 --> 0:28:30.560
<v Speaker 1>like if you're a dude and you look at a

0:28:30.600 --> 0:28:32.000
<v Speaker 1>woman like up and down, you know.

0:28:33.840 --> 0:28:36.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh lord. And by the way, Ben I could relate

0:28:36.680 --> 0:28:40.920
<v Speaker 3>to his incident because yeah, I was mentioning female's asses.

0:28:40.960 --> 0:28:43.520
<v Speaker 3>We were talking about a rap video. We were playing

0:28:43.520 --> 0:28:46.280
<v Speaker 3>a certain song and then we were commenting on the

0:28:46.400 --> 0:28:48.760
<v Speaker 3>video give me a f and Break. It's not like

0:28:48.800 --> 0:28:51.000
<v Speaker 3>I looked at her and said something about her ass.

0:28:52.280 --> 0:28:55.960
<v Speaker 3>She was just mad because she didn't have one exactly exactly.

0:28:56.000 --> 0:28:58.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm right there, I'm right there with you,

0:28:58.440 --> 0:29:03.240
<v Speaker 1>but I remember that particular and then there's see, like

0:29:03.280 --> 0:29:06.200
<v Speaker 1>the problem with the harassment there's a legitimate harassment. And then,

0:29:06.320 --> 0:29:08.320
<v Speaker 1>like anything, there's people that are just out trying to

0:29:08.320 --> 0:29:10.640
<v Speaker 1>make some money and get you know, ruffle feathers, and

0:29:10.640 --> 0:29:14.520
<v Speaker 1>then they complain about everything and it's like, yeah, pain

0:29:14.560 --> 0:29:16.400
<v Speaker 1>in the pain in the behind.

0:29:16.960 --> 0:29:19.200
<v Speaker 3>But thank you Marcus for your no you could say,

0:29:19.240 --> 0:29:20.760
<v Speaker 3>ask there's no HR department.

0:29:21.200 --> 0:29:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we're good on that. What else do we have?

0:29:24.040 --> 0:29:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Let see page down here on the mail bag? Do

0:29:27.440 --> 0:29:30.000
<v Speaker 1>a couple more we have. Nick in Wisconsin says, as

0:29:30.040 --> 0:29:33.479
<v Speaker 1>I write this email, I'm currently listening to our number

0:29:33.640 --> 0:29:36.880
<v Speaker 1>two of the Wednesday Original Recipe podcast. I forgot my

0:29:36.920 --> 0:29:40.280
<v Speaker 1>earbuds this morning, and I realized this halfway into my commute.

0:29:40.960 --> 0:29:44.000
<v Speaker 1>So I get to ask the question here, what is

0:29:44.040 --> 0:29:47.760
<v Speaker 1>the worst item that you have realized that you forgot

0:29:48.360 --> 0:29:52.600
<v Speaker 1>on your way to work? Laptop, headphones excluded, always listening,

0:29:53.920 --> 0:29:58.240
<v Speaker 1>just no good questions lately? So thing you forgot that

0:29:58.280 --> 0:30:02.160
<v Speaker 1>you needed that? What are you doing? One time I

0:30:02.200 --> 0:30:05.120
<v Speaker 1>went to the store and I got there and I

0:30:05.160 --> 0:30:08.719
<v Speaker 1>got all my groceries and then I realized I had

0:30:08.760 --> 0:30:11.960
<v Speaker 1>left my wallet at home. That was that was awkward.

0:30:12.080 --> 0:30:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh I was at the I'd put everything on the

0:30:15.680 --> 0:30:17.880
<v Speaker 1>thing at the grocery store to pay for it, and

0:30:17.880 --> 0:30:20.520
<v Speaker 1>then I reached into my pocket to grab my wallet

0:30:20.600 --> 0:30:24.680
<v Speaker 1>to pay. I didn't have my wallet. Ben.

0:30:24.720 --> 0:30:27.000
<v Speaker 3>I once walked a date all the way up to

0:30:27.040 --> 0:30:31.080
<v Speaker 3>the entrance of the Oakland Coliseum for a Raiders Jets

0:30:31.160 --> 0:30:35.360
<v Speaker 3>Monday night football game, and we waited forever for security.

0:30:35.400 --> 0:30:38.800
<v Speaker 3>We finally get to you know where I needed to

0:30:38.840 --> 0:30:42.880
<v Speaker 3>show my tickets. You know that swell the massive cattle

0:30:42.920 --> 0:30:45.320
<v Speaker 3>that used to be there near security and the entrance.

0:30:45.960 --> 0:30:49.480
<v Speaker 3>So we're in all that mess. And I realized as

0:30:49.560 --> 0:30:52.880
<v Speaker 3>I pulled my season tickets out, I grabbed the wrong

0:30:53.040 --> 0:30:55.360
<v Speaker 3>season tickets. I grabbed the tickets that were for the

0:30:55.400 --> 0:31:00.240
<v Speaker 3>next home game from my stack. Luckily they were in

0:31:00.320 --> 0:31:03.240
<v Speaker 3>my car, but as you can imagine, my car was

0:31:03.320 --> 0:31:06.240
<v Speaker 3>probably a mile away and some you know, off the

0:31:06.280 --> 0:31:09.640
<v Speaker 3>beaten path parking lot that and that's a mess all

0:31:09.640 --> 0:31:12.640
<v Speaker 3>around that Oakland Coliseum if you know anything about it. Ben,

0:31:12.680 --> 0:31:14.560
<v Speaker 3>I left her there at the entrance because I didn't

0:31:14.560 --> 0:31:16.280
<v Speaker 3>want her to have to huff and puff back to

0:31:16.280 --> 0:31:19.360
<v Speaker 3>the car. I ran, like Carl Lewis, all the way

0:31:19.360 --> 0:31:22.040
<v Speaker 3>to my car, got the right tickets, ran all the

0:31:22.080 --> 0:31:24.880
<v Speaker 3>way back. I was drenched in sweat by the time

0:31:24.920 --> 0:31:26.720
<v Speaker 3>we entered that Monday night football game.

0:31:27.000 --> 0:31:28.520
<v Speaker 1>By the time he got in the stadium, the Raiders

0:31:28.520 --> 0:31:29.520
<v Speaker 1>were down twenty one nine.

0:31:29.920 --> 0:31:32.200
<v Speaker 3>No, that's back when they were good. That's back when

0:31:32.280 --> 0:31:33.640
<v Speaker 3>Rich Gannon was the quarterback.

0:31:34.000 --> 0:31:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's a long time ago. All right. How dare

0:31:37.400 --> 0:31:40.920
<v Speaker 1>you Scott from Northern Kentucky, right, sin says Ben and

0:31:41.000 --> 0:31:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Dan G Ben and Danny g as always, I love

0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:46.680
<v Speaker 1>the show every single night and the weekends. What if

0:31:46.840 --> 0:31:53.040
<v Speaker 1>any is your biggest fear or phobia? Your fear of phobia?

0:31:53.160 --> 0:31:55.200
<v Speaker 3>Ooh, that's a good question. What's his?

0:31:55.960 --> 0:31:58.520
<v Speaker 1>He says his his heights, He's scared the death of them.

0:31:59.120 --> 0:32:01.440
<v Speaker 1>And then he says, thoughts on the Renaissance Fair and

0:32:01.440 --> 0:32:03.600
<v Speaker 1>the weirdos that go to it. I worked at a

0:32:03.680 --> 0:32:06.880
<v Speaker 1>venue that was right next to it for years. A

0:32:06.880 --> 0:32:09.720
<v Speaker 1>bunch of dirty weirdos, is what I remember. I was

0:32:09.760 --> 0:32:13.120
<v Speaker 1>surprised with you that Loreno works there. Yuck. I hope

0:32:13.160 --> 0:32:14.800
<v Speaker 1>to get to meet you at the Ohio Meet and Greet,

0:32:14.840 --> 0:32:18.520
<v Speaker 1>hopefully in Cincinnati. That's Scott from Northern Kentucky. So biggest

0:32:18.520 --> 0:32:19.880
<v Speaker 1>fear of phobia? What do you got, Danny?

0:32:20.880 --> 0:32:26.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh, definitely it is claustrophobia. Yeah, I do not like

0:32:26.680 --> 0:32:29.360
<v Speaker 3>being in a tight squeeze. When I was talking about

0:32:29.600 --> 0:32:32.680
<v Speaker 3>all those cattle at the entrance, I hate that feeling

0:32:32.760 --> 0:32:36.240
<v Speaker 3>when people are shoulder to shoulder with you. I was

0:32:36.320 --> 0:32:39.400
<v Speaker 3>inside the Old House of Blues in LA before they

0:32:39.440 --> 0:32:42.200
<v Speaker 3>bulldozed it, and they had famous R and B and

0:32:42.280 --> 0:32:46.200
<v Speaker 3>hip hop concerts there upstairs. They called it the what

0:32:46.320 --> 0:32:50.120
<v Speaker 3>was the name for it. It was like the industry Room,

0:32:50.360 --> 0:32:52.760
<v Speaker 3>industry level or some bullshit. They called it like that.

0:32:52.840 --> 0:32:55.160
<v Speaker 3>So all the muckety MUCKs were up there, all the

0:32:55.160 --> 0:32:58.200
<v Speaker 3>celebrities were up there, and back then radio people were

0:32:58.200 --> 0:33:00.600
<v Speaker 3>looked at as celebrities, believe it or not, up there,

0:33:01.080 --> 0:33:04.040
<v Speaker 3>And there was an eminem concert Ben when he had

0:33:04.160 --> 0:33:07.400
<v Speaker 3>just blown up. And I'm up there and it was

0:33:08.080 --> 0:33:11.240
<v Speaker 3>talk about wall to wall. No, I couldn't move. The

0:33:11.280 --> 0:33:14.160
<v Speaker 3>flow of the room was not even moving because they

0:33:14.200 --> 0:33:17.440
<v Speaker 3>broke fire code. And next to me was the actress.

0:33:17.880 --> 0:33:20.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh shoot, she dated fifty cent back in the day.

0:33:21.320 --> 0:33:23.160
<v Speaker 3>It's not gonna come to me right now, but famous

0:33:23.160 --> 0:33:26.120
<v Speaker 3>actress next to me and her bodyguard was squished next

0:33:26.160 --> 0:33:28.920
<v Speaker 3>to her, and I'll never forget because the side of

0:33:28.960 --> 0:33:31.880
<v Speaker 3>her was touching me. She probably hated that. She looked

0:33:31.920 --> 0:33:34.160
<v Speaker 3>at her bodyguard and she said, get me the fuck

0:33:34.320 --> 0:33:37.520
<v Speaker 3>out of here now, dude. I almost had a panic

0:33:37.560 --> 0:33:41.040
<v Speaker 3>attack because and you see movie scenes sometimes where like

0:33:41.080 --> 0:33:45.280
<v Speaker 3>somebody is trapped alive inside a box or locked in

0:33:45.320 --> 0:33:48.360
<v Speaker 3>a closet or a trunk. That freaks me the f

0:33:48.440 --> 0:33:51.960
<v Speaker 3>out When I see that, imagine you'd claw your fingernails off.

0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:54.800
<v Speaker 3>I just I can't even watch those scenes. I have

0:33:54.840 --> 0:33:55.640
<v Speaker 3>to turn the channel.

0:33:56.440 --> 0:33:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's beat I it's one of those weird things

0:33:59.120 --> 0:34:01.680
<v Speaker 1>like I've had an MRI or two in my life

0:34:01.720 --> 0:34:03.760
<v Speaker 1>where people say the MRI is a nightmare because the

0:34:03.760 --> 0:34:06.320
<v Speaker 1>thing you're like stuck in that little thing. But that

0:34:06.480 --> 0:34:09.319
<v Speaker 1>didn't really mess me up. But yet, if I'm in

0:34:09.360 --> 0:34:12.200
<v Speaker 1>a place where I don't, I don't see a path

0:34:12.239 --> 0:34:14.240
<v Speaker 1>to get out of it. Because even on the MRI,

0:34:14.239 --> 0:34:16.400
<v Speaker 1>I always thought, well, I could just slide up and

0:34:16.480 --> 0:34:18.719
<v Speaker 1>kind of get out of this thing. You know. Yeah,

0:34:18.960 --> 0:34:21.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm in a in a room where I don't. There's

0:34:21.360 --> 0:34:23.640
<v Speaker 1>no real path to get out. That's terrible. The height

0:34:23.760 --> 0:34:27.680
<v Speaker 1>thing is is pretty pretty, you know, solid as well.

0:34:27.800 --> 0:34:30.399
<v Speaker 1>I just you know, the idea that you make one

0:34:30.440 --> 0:34:34.239
<v Speaker 1>mistake and then that and then you're done. That's that's it.

0:34:34.239 --> 0:34:36.319
<v Speaker 1>Those are pretty good. And Scott, I have no firm

0:34:36.360 --> 0:34:38.400
<v Speaker 1>plans on the Ohio meet and greet, yet I am

0:34:38.440 --> 0:34:42.200
<v Speaker 1>efforting that and I'm going back and forth. But even

0:34:42.239 --> 0:34:44.480
<v Speaker 1>if it's not in Cincinnati, I hope you'll make it.

0:34:44.880 --> 0:34:47.160
<v Speaker 1>And even if it's in Cincinnati, it doesn't guarantee you're

0:34:47.160 --> 0:34:50.200
<v Speaker 1>going to make it. Remember I went to Charleston and Jerome,

0:34:50.280 --> 0:34:53.120
<v Speaker 1>and Charleston did not come to see me because that

0:34:53.200 --> 0:34:54.880
<v Speaker 1>was a couple of blocks away. And I offered to

0:34:55.440 --> 0:34:57.680
<v Speaker 1>buy him a meal and he still said, I I'm

0:34:57.719 --> 0:35:00.279
<v Speaker 1>not doing that, Jake, and Toledo writes in on the back,

0:35:00.280 --> 0:35:02.760
<v Speaker 1>wet a couple more get out of here. On this Sunday,

0:35:03.000 --> 0:35:06.160
<v Speaker 1>final day of the Masters, he says, guys, did you

0:35:06.200 --> 0:35:08.960
<v Speaker 1>see that d P one member the Malam Militia russef

0:35:09.560 --> 0:35:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Re signed. Yes, we talked about that earlier. You were

0:35:11.400 --> 0:35:14.959
<v Speaker 1>not listening. Russef made my kids that in my day

0:35:15.520 --> 0:35:20.040
<v Speaker 1>when he pointed at our Ben Mahler loves Russef signed

0:35:20.040 --> 0:35:22.600
<v Speaker 1>a few years ago. And you get him on the podcast.

0:35:22.680 --> 0:35:23.240
<v Speaker 1>That is awesome.

0:35:23.400 --> 0:35:25.680
<v Speaker 3>Oh here here he is right here.

0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Listen, bet friends, we're best friends. You see that.

0:35:31.320 --> 0:35:35.080
<v Speaker 3>Wait, we're pretty impressed. I gotta say it. Usually Ben's

0:35:35.120 --> 0:35:36.440
<v Speaker 3>lying about who he's friends with.

0:35:36.560 --> 0:35:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I was wrong, I bet I remember right now.

0:35:40.160 --> 0:35:43.320
<v Speaker 4>I remember the story of giving you his shoes because

0:35:43.360 --> 0:35:45.080
<v Speaker 4>you were so much step back in the day.

0:35:45.200 --> 0:35:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Remember that, Yes, exactly, see that.

0:35:49.880 --> 0:35:51.160
<v Speaker 3>Wait, he gave you shoes.

0:35:52.080 --> 0:35:52.759
<v Speaker 1>That's so good?

0:35:53.400 --> 0:35:56.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, look at that. You really were friends with him?

0:35:56.040 --> 0:35:57.880
<v Speaker 3>We doubted you.

0:35:57.880 --> 0:36:00.560
<v Speaker 1>No. It's one of my favorite stories from this dopey

0:36:00.640 --> 0:36:03.160
<v Speaker 1>run I've had in radio is that Russef was a

0:36:03.160 --> 0:36:05.719
<v Speaker 1>penpal when he was going to he was going to

0:36:05.760 --> 0:36:09.040
<v Speaker 1>wrestling school in Florida, and he was homesick, and he's

0:36:09.040 --> 0:36:11.400
<v Speaker 1>from southern California. Is a big Clipper fan, believe it

0:36:11.480 --> 0:36:13.640
<v Speaker 1>or not, Danny, and so he used to listen to

0:36:13.680 --> 0:36:16.440
<v Speaker 1>the show and he started emailing me. And at first

0:36:16.440 --> 0:36:19.799
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know anything about like his story or anything

0:36:19.880 --> 0:36:22.000
<v Speaker 1>like that. And he eventually told me like, Hey, I'm gonna,

0:36:22.719 --> 0:36:25.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna I'm going to school to become a wrestler.

0:36:25.320 --> 0:36:27.120
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, okay, and then I looked it

0:36:27.200 --> 0:36:31.680
<v Speaker 1>up and the WWE had a school in Tampa, and

0:36:31.920 --> 0:36:35.200
<v Speaker 1>I kind of forgot about him. He stopped, we stopped corresponding,

0:36:35.239 --> 0:36:38.000
<v Speaker 1>and then all of a sudden, I see him on

0:36:38.080 --> 0:36:42.040
<v Speaker 1>TV and I'm like, WHOA, what the f And then

0:36:42.040 --> 0:36:45.480
<v Speaker 1>he came into WrestleMania and a tank, like an old

0:36:45.640 --> 0:36:48.600
<v Speaker 1>German tank or something like that. It was craziness.

0:36:48.880 --> 0:36:50.040
<v Speaker 4>What's wrong with your Clippers?

0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Nothing's wrong with the Clippers that day, all right? But yeah, Jay,

0:36:53.920 --> 0:36:55.879
<v Speaker 1>we should try to get Russeph on. I can see

0:36:55.880 --> 0:36:57.759
<v Speaker 1>if I can get in touch with him. He was

0:36:58.160 --> 0:37:00.640
<v Speaker 1>know as or Murrow Muro. I believe it was when

0:37:00.640 --> 0:37:01.959
<v Speaker 1>he was known as when he went to the other place,

0:37:02.040 --> 0:37:05.000
<v Speaker 1>but he's back to being Russeph. Last one, Gary in

0:37:05.000 --> 0:37:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Pittsburgh rights and says Ben, I was going to use

0:37:07.600 --> 0:37:11.040
<v Speaker 1>this question to break my cherry on the weeknight show,

0:37:11.080 --> 0:37:15.320
<v Speaker 1>but since you put up the bat signal for Sunday content,

0:37:16.040 --> 0:37:18.680
<v Speaker 1>we'll do it here instead. I was scanning my TV

0:37:18.840 --> 0:37:23.440
<v Speaker 1>guide for something to watch and I came across the channel.

0:37:24.040 --> 0:37:26.880
<v Speaker 1>This channel on the fledgling cable network in the North Woods.

0:37:27.480 --> 0:37:30.279
<v Speaker 1>It was the news channel, but there were some some

0:37:30.320 --> 0:37:32.520
<v Speaker 1>of the programs they had on this Saturday morning. They

0:37:32.560 --> 0:37:36.400
<v Speaker 1>had lane golf, they had I had to google what

0:37:36.480 --> 0:37:42.359
<v Speaker 1>that was. Wiffleball All Star Game twenty twenty Tetris Championship

0:37:42.880 --> 0:37:48.520
<v Speaker 1>and a kickball a tourney, among others made up made

0:37:48.560 --> 0:37:53.400
<v Speaker 1>up sports, other made up sports, So says the email

0:37:53.480 --> 0:37:55.879
<v Speaker 1>here from Gary says, I know you and Danny are

0:37:55.920 --> 0:37:59.200
<v Speaker 1>both playing the world's too smallest violins for them. But

0:37:59.440 --> 0:38:03.279
<v Speaker 1>if things are so bad they moved their operation from

0:38:03.440 --> 0:38:07.080
<v Speaker 1>LA back to Bristol, Connecticut, why not just get rid

0:38:07.160 --> 0:38:10.200
<v Speaker 1>of this channel and save a ton of money? Or

0:38:10.280 --> 0:38:13.160
<v Speaker 1>is it once you get a piece of real estate

0:38:13.200 --> 0:38:15.600
<v Speaker 1>on the dial, you don't give it back. Seems all

0:38:15.640 --> 0:38:20.600
<v Speaker 1>the programming costs would outweigh any franchise fees the cable

0:38:20.600 --> 0:38:24.120
<v Speaker 1>companies give them. Am I off on this? Or is

0:38:24.160 --> 0:38:30.360
<v Speaker 1>there really a robust market for the air guitar playoffs?

0:38:30.400 --> 0:38:37.799
<v Speaker 1>That's from Gary Pittsburgh. Yeah, the whole ESPN thing. They're

0:38:37.880 --> 0:38:41.640
<v Speaker 1>under the Disney umbrella. And you've always got to please

0:38:41.680 --> 0:38:45.799
<v Speaker 1>the taxpayers and not the taxpayers, the stockholders, right, the

0:38:45.840 --> 0:38:47.799
<v Speaker 1>people that invest in the company. And see, you've always

0:38:47.800 --> 0:38:50.680
<v Speaker 1>got to keep turning profits. And I think Gary knows

0:38:50.719 --> 0:38:52.400
<v Speaker 1>how that works. We all know how that works. And

0:38:53.920 --> 0:38:55.880
<v Speaker 1>it's a tough thing. There was a point where everyone

0:38:55.960 --> 0:38:58.200
<v Speaker 1>watched Sports Center. It was a very important show and

0:38:58.280 --> 0:39:03.160
<v Speaker 1>people loved it, and unfortunately ESPN just lost their way

0:39:03.280 --> 0:39:08.239
<v Speaker 1>over the years. They sold out to the Wolkesters and

0:39:07.760 --> 0:39:10.520
<v Speaker 1>they're not doing that great, but there's still there's still

0:39:10.600 --> 0:39:13.160
<v Speaker 1>people watching it. I don't know if there's any real

0:39:13.239 --> 0:39:16.800
<v Speaker 1>need for the news channel though, I can't remember the

0:39:16.880 --> 0:39:18.760
<v Speaker 1>last time. We used to watch that all the time.

0:39:18.840 --> 0:39:20.359
<v Speaker 1>But there's a lot of things we used to do

0:39:20.400 --> 0:39:23.799
<v Speaker 1>that we don't do anymore. So, but you definitely don't

0:39:23.880 --> 0:39:26.200
<v Speaker 1>give up a channel. Very rarely does a channel just

0:39:26.239 --> 0:39:30.240
<v Speaker 1>go out of business. Normally they get rebranded, like you'd say, right, well,

0:39:30.239 --> 0:39:33.239
<v Speaker 1>we have this, and all those deals are brokered with

0:39:33.280 --> 0:39:36.080
<v Speaker 1>the cable companies and the satellite providers and all that,

0:39:36.239 --> 0:39:39.400
<v Speaker 1>so you don't get rid of it. You just change name.

0:39:39.480 --> 0:39:45.360
<v Speaker 1>For example, I worked at a channel called Versus, which

0:39:45.680 --> 0:39:50.320
<v Speaker 1>became NBC Sports Channel NBC Sports Network, and then change

0:39:50.400 --> 0:39:52.319
<v Speaker 1>names again and became I don't know what it is now.

0:39:52.320 --> 0:39:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I think it's like some outdoor channels or something like that.

0:39:54.880 --> 0:39:57.240
<v Speaker 1>But when I worked there, originally it was called Versus

0:39:57.239 --> 0:39:59.160
<v Speaker 1>and then they switched the name of it, but they

0:39:59.200 --> 0:40:02.920
<v Speaker 1>didn't get rid of it, you know, just doesn't disappear.

0:40:03.560 --> 0:40:06.879
<v Speaker 1>So on that note, Danny, I will get out of here.

0:40:07.080 --> 0:40:09.759
<v Speaker 1>It is a the end of the day here and said,

0:40:09.840 --> 0:40:12.520
<v Speaker 1>watch the end of the Masters later today, this afternoon,

0:40:12.560 --> 0:40:15.880
<v Speaker 1>and then tonight be back in the Magic Audio Box

0:40:15.960 --> 0:40:19.920
<v Speaker 1>to break it all down and start out a new

0:40:19.960 --> 0:40:23.280
<v Speaker 1>week of programming here and coach you'd like to share with? Yes?

0:40:23.719 --> 0:40:26.360
<v Speaker 3>Yes, in fact, guess who has more time off?

0:40:26.960 --> 0:40:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Who's that?

0:40:27.719 --> 0:40:28.560
<v Speaker 3>Dan Patrick?

0:40:29.200 --> 0:40:29.799
<v Speaker 1>Is that right?

0:40:29.960 --> 0:40:35.320
