00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 4: we got to covered all weekend long. I wanted to

15
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 4: start by thanking you some gratitude, which I don't do

16
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 4: a lot of. But last week we were able to

17
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 4: have Eddie on the podcast, and we were wondering how

18
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 4: was that gonna do? And it was an awkward situation

19
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,199
Speaker 4: because of everything that had happened. But Eddie was great

20
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 4: to come on and hang out with us, and you

21
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 4: guys overwhelmed us in downloads. So I appreciate that Eddie

22
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 4: is truly missed on this show, and that manifested itself

23
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 4: on the number of people that went out of their

24
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 4: way to listen to the podcast last week. So I

25
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 4: thank you for that showing the company which does keep

26
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 4: track of these numbers, just how many people love Eddie

27
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 4: and it's a wonderful thing.

28
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: It's a great thing.

29
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 4: And what that leads to I don't know, but it's

30
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 4: it's not a bad thing. It's not a bad thing anyway,

31
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 4: just lights it. But today's the twenty second day of November.

32
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 4: Now we'd like to do the dopey holiday thing. We

33
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 4: didn't do that last week, but we'll get back to

34
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 4: the dopey holiday thing. Today is a special day for

35
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 4: me because I relate to this. It is love your

36
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 4: Freckles Day, no if you have freckles or not. I

37
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 4: was given the blessing or the curse of freckles. And

38
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 4: this is one of those things that has changed in

39
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 4: my lifetime. When I was a kid, the freckle thing

40
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 4: was looked down upon.

41
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're like, oh, you got freckles.

42
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 4: But somehow, now that I'm an adult, I didn't benefit

43
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 4: this from this when I was a kid, but now

44
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 4: freckles are considered like trendy and kind of cool, and

45
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 4: there's like people that go out of their way that

46
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 4: there's some plastic surgeon type people that put fake freckles

47
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 4: on it. It's it's bananas banana because when I was

48
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 4: a kid, Oh you got freckles. Oh it's rub skin,

49
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 4: you got freckles. What's going But now it's like it's

50
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 4: totally different. Anyway, it's a national Love your Freckles Day,

51
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 4: And in honor of this being that very special day,

52
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 4: I thought we would flash back into the hot tub

53
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 4: time machine with some fun facts, I know, fun facts,

54
00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 4: fun facts on those little small brownish spots of of

55
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 4: your skin that are usually red usually read sometimes it's gonna,

56
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 4: you know, sandy, if you've got kind of a sandy

57
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 4: hair situation, they pop up as red there.

58
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: So it is a variant.

59
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 4: They claim, whoever they are the science community, that freckles

60
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 4: started to emerge in the human genotype when people started

61
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 4: leaving Africa.

62
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: It's a long time ago. That is a long, long,

63
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: long time ago.

64
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 4: As you might imagine, freckles occur in people with the

65
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 4: hair all over the world. It's not just one part

66
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 4: of the world. There at one point was a belief, well,

67
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 4: you've have freckles. You come from this part of the world.

68
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 4: But it's not true. It's not true at all. There's

69
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 4: different mutations of freckles. How exciting is that dot dot

70
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 4: dot dot dot. That's a freckles. You have fair redheads.

71
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 4: Variations you have. There are freckles in China, Japan, Frame,

72
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 4: you know, France, the Mediterranean, Israel, and certain African ethnic

73
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 4: groups all have have freckles. Now, as far as the

74
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 4: word origin, the word origin, know, we love word origins.

75
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 4: The word freckle was first used in the fourteenth century

76
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,239
Speaker 4: and it came out of the Middle English word frecin

77
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 4: fr e k e n, which we believe, based on

78
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 4: those that study this kind of stuff, came from Scandinavian origin.

79
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 4: That's at least according to the actual dictionary. But you know,

80
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 4: we're simple people here, we're simple people. So the basic

81
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 4: terminology freckle can stand for two distinct germatologic entities that

82
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 4: are part of the body.

83
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: We don't know all that, who cares about that, but the.

84
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 4: National freckle this if you have freckles, celebrate your freckles,

85
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 4: enjoy your freckles. On this podcast, we have the extra spice,

Speaker 4: the day, but we'll start with the extra spice. Week

Speaker 4: over the place.

99
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: And I don't even know.

100
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 4: I ran into some listeners in Kansas City and a

101
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 4: couple of people, Oh yeah, I watch the show every week,

102
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 4: and I didn't know we were.

103
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: On in Kansas City.

104
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 4: You say, oh, yeah, you're you're on one of the

105
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 4: channels here on the cable, local cable.

106
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: And I had no idea. I had idea.

107
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 4: I know we're on the the NBC owned and operated

108
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 4: or partnered cable channels, but I did not know we

109
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 4: were on a bunch of other ones.

110
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: So that's pretty cool.

111
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 4: And I promote certain channels that have the TV show

112
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 4: this week a little bit of an extra spice this week,

113
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 4: and that means if you are a supporter of the

114
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 4: radio show, which I'm gonna go ninety nine point nine percent,

115
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 4: you are, because I don't know anyone that just listens

116
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 4: to this podcast and doesn't listen to the radio show.

117
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 4: You know why, that's right, d NA ning. This is

118
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 4: a companion pod, a campaign. It's as snug as a

119
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 4: bug in a rug. When you listen to this podcast,

120
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 4: it is part of the Overnight Show. It's part of

121
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 4: the Overnight Show. Everything's related here, everything's connected, and so

122
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 4: that's why almost everyone that listens to this podcast is

123
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 4: a radio listen, whether you listen to the podcast version

124
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 4: of the radio show or not.

125
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: So that's why.

126
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 4: But if you watch all the way to the end

127
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 4: with Vinny the producer, I was able to put in

128
00:06:53,600 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 4: some stuff that will resonate with the consumer of audio

129
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 4: content here, so I want you to check that out.

130
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 4: And a little extra spice at the end. Looney wore

131
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 4: something this week that is very unlike Looney. You'll see

132
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 4: it unless you're blind. You won't see it, but it's

133
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 4: something that the Smurfs would be proud of. Like if

134
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 4: the Smurfs went to war, if there was like a

135
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 4: World War three with the Smurfs and they were trying

136
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 4: to hide from other Smurfs, they would wear what Looney

137
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 4: was wearing on the TV show and they would be

138
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 4: very happy with that. So I'm doing a little bit

139
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 4: better as far as the picks. I don't want to

140
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 4: give it all away, you know, SPT no spoilers and

141
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 4: all that. I want you to actually watch the TV

142
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 4: show otherwise what's the point.

143
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: It will be on Peacock.

144
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 4: So if you don't have cable television, by the way,

145
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 4: I don't have cable television, I don't. I have Peacock though,

146
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 4: and you can watch Benny Versus the Penny all over

147
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 4: lace nationally streaming.

148
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: Now, remember the thing about the show.

149
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 4: The want to describe this the it's not a glitch,

150
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 4: the unique thing that sounds better, right, doesn't that sound better?

151
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: Unique?

152
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 4: The unique thing about the show is once the NFL

153
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 4: kicks off on Sunday, that's it, right, that's you know,

154
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 4: that's a problem time, right, NFL Sunday, So you really

155
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 4: have to watch the show by one o'clock Eastern on Sunday.

156
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 4: Now it is still available on Peacock after that. Some

157
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 4: people do like to go back and watch old episodes

158
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 4: of the show to see how terrible the handicapping advice was.

159
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: I do not recommend that. I do not recommend that you.

160
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 4: Want to be part of the show when it's going

161
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 4: into the NFL weekend, but hey, we get credit. Whether

162
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 4: you watch it before or after, it doesn't really matter

163
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 4: as long as you watch it. So check that out

164
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 4: and make sure to watch all the way to the end.

165
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 4: It reminds me of when I was a kid and

166
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 4: my mom and dad I was on a family vacation.

167
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 4: I've told the story, you know, years ago. So we

168
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 4: were on a road trip and we went to and

169
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 4: Pterson's Pea Soup, which is a hotel kind of roadside

170
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 4: attraction type thing, diner, restaurant, hotel, and there a bunch

171
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 4: of them in California used to be. I think they're

172
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 4: pretty much all gone now, one or two left. So

173
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 4: I remember as a kid we went there. My Mom's like,

174
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 4: oh yes, listen, little Benny, if you eat that bowl

175
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 4: Benji of the soup, the pea Soup there's going to

176
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 4: be a surprise at the bottom of that bowl. And

177
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 4: the way my mom presented this, I was convinced that

178
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 4: I was going to get like my favorite toy at

179
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 4: the bottom of the bowl. The way my mom had

180
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 4: described it, so like the sucker I am. I slurped

181
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 4: up the pea soup, which I don't even like. My

182
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 4: mom gave me some crackers. She said that'll help a

183
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 4: little bit. It did, So I ate the pea soup

184
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 4: and I get to the bottom and all they have

185
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 4: is this little stupid drawing of the characters from from

186
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 4: the restaurant.

187
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: I was like, I was so pissed. I got oh man, I.

188
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 4: Got absolutely horn swoggled bye bye, Ma Ma. But this

189
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 4: is a little better than that. You know, if you're

190
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 4: truly a p one from the radio show, I believe

191
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 4: you will appreciate what happened here at the end of

192
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 4: the TV show. In the we call it the C block,

193
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 4: got the eight block to B block to the C block.

194
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: This was the C block at the very end.

195
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 4: Now, this also relates to the television show, and it

196
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 4: is the I call it the TV miracle, the TV Miracle.

197
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: We'll come up to the holidays we got Thanksgiving.

198
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 4: This coming week, and then before you know, it's going

199
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 4: to be Christmas and Hanukkah.

200
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: And all that.

201
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 4: And if you're a Jehovah's witness, just have a good day.

202
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 4: Just have a good day, as we'd like to say.

203
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 4: But one of the great stories, and you know, all

204
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,719
Speaker 4: these stories about holidays and religion, you wonder how much

205
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 4: of it is true, how much of it is embellished?

206
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: You don't really know. You just go with it. Why not?

207
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: You shouldn't fight it. You just go with it. You know.

208
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: It's all that.

209
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 4: So the famous story the TV miracle relates to a

210
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 4: story from Hanukkah, which I'm going to explain in a minute.

211
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 4: But as Paul Harvey used to say in his day,

212
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 4: you know what the news is, and in a minute

213
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 4: you're about to get the rest of the story. So

214
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 4: I'm in scramble mode during the week, man, it is.

215
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 4: You know, these are first world problems. I've got a

216
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 4: great job, I've got a great life. I'm very lucky

217
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 4: that I have these jobs. These jobs will not last forever.

218
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 4: I am enjoying these jobs because I know at some

219
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 4: point I won't have these jobs anymore. So I i

220
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 4: put extra work in to make sure I keep them

221
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 4: as long as I can, And there's a lot of

222
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 4: juggling going on with the radio show. That takes a

223
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 4: long time to get the monologues ready and to get

224
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 4: everything the way I want it. My proprietary blend which

225
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 4: some of you hate and o those of you like.

226
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 4: But I put the work in. That's always been my mantra.

227
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 4: I learned from Lee Hacksaw Hambleton. I loved from my

228
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 4: mom some of the people that were mentors of mine

229
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 4: to put the work ethic in, So that's been instilled

230
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 4: in me. And then the TV show around the radio show,

231
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 4: because I don't want to take away from the radio show.

232
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 4: So I'm putting the work in after the radio show

233
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 4: on Monday morning and Tuesday morning and Wednesday morning, and

234
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 4: then also sometimes before the show get when we call

235
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 4: it putting the show to bed. When I've done all

236
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 4: the prep for the show, I've got everything ready to go.

237
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 4: I will then start flutzing around more with the handicap.

238
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 4: Not that it's really worked out that well for me.

239
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 4: Maybe I should just not handicap at all, but I do.

240
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 4: I do because that's what NBC's paying me. For so

241
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 4: I do my work, I do my due dialergies. So

242
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 4: I'm going to rush. You know, I got to get

243
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 4: my clothes for the TV show. Even though it looks

244
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 4: like I wear the same two things every week, I

245
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 4: believe it or not, I actually shower, shave.

246
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: I put colone on.

247
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 4: I mean, there's all kinds of things I have to

248
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 4: put my I call my church, my temple clothes. They

249
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 4: get those ready. You gotta get all nice and pretty

250
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 4: and all that. So I get all that stuff ready.

251
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 4: But I'm in scramble mote.

252
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: I'm running around.

253
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 4: I'm trying to do I mean a million different things,

254
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 4: and I'm always fighting the clock. You're always fighting the

255
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 4: f and clock, right, always going against the clock.

256
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: So this past.

257
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 4: Week on Wednesday, so I go in Wednesday to do

258
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 4: the radio show Wednesday to Thursday. I then later on

259
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 4: that Thursday morning, yesterday, I popped up on Fesco in

260
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 4: the morning. Bob Fesco my morning guy, So I popped

261
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 4: up with him. I then proceeded to stay in town

262
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 4: in LA and I went over to Universal Studios hung

263
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 4: out for many, many hours waiting to record the Week

264
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 4: twelve of the NFL season. Benny versus the penny. Well,

265
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 4: let's go back. So I get to the radio studio.

266
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 4: I go to the very back the old Update studio,

267
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 4: which is and then you walk in through the main courtyard.

268
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 4: You walk down the hall. To your right is the

269
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 4: Smurf kitchen. That's to your right when you first walk

270
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 4: in the door. There's a medical cabinet. There's a Smurf

271
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 4: that's on the right, and then on the left is

272
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 4: the bathrooms. So then you walk past a couple of

273
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 4: editing bays on each side. That's where the people that

274
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 4: put the audio together for the news updates and all

275
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 4: that stuff are there. So I walked past that. I

276
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 4: then walk past the not the main street. The main

277
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 4: studio is further up. There's the board ops studio where

278
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 4: the engineer sits and the producer sitys. Then further up

279
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 4: to the right is the old Steve Harvey rush Limbaugh Studio,

280
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 4: which is my studio.

281
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: But I keep going.

282
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 4: I then I make a left turn, a left turn.

283
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 4: I then make a quick right turn. I walked by

284
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 4: the old Casey Kasum studio that is right where I

285
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 4: almost killed Casey case Now he's dead now, but the

286
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 4: great voiceover actor case Caseum and American Icon top twenty countdown.

287
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for

288
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: the stares.

289
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 4: I walk by that studio, think a Casey every time

290
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 4: I walk by there. Walk by the Podcast studio. Now

291
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 4: to my left is the old studio. But I don't

292
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 4: want to go in the old FSR studio, which is

293
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 4: still there. Colin Cowhart uses that studio, by the way,

294
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 4: he uses that when he does radio only he has

295
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 4: to use that studio, so they redid it to make

296
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 4: it all pretty for Colin. So I walk down the hall,

297
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 4: long haul, giant hall. I get to the end of

298
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 4: that hall, there's a turn. I make a kind of

299
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 4: a quick left. I go buy the Engineer Studio. Okay,

300
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 4: we're the old Engineer Studio where legends like Art Martinez

301
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 4: and Jake Warner. These are true legends of radio worked

302
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 4: their craft, right Roberto, people like that. So I walk

303
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 4: past that and then the very back right against the wall,

304
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 4: there's a vending machine to the right. But I don't

305
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 4: go to the right. What I do is I go

306
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 4: to the left because to the left is the old

307
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 4: Anchor Studio, which I started at years ago at FSR.

308
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 4: That was the original studio that I was in. So

309
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 4: I go in there and there's no one there in

310
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 4: the very back of the building. I'm by myself, and

311
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 4: I put my bag down.

312
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: I get my.

313
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 4: Little cup of tea to you know, my voice has

314
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 4: been kind of messed up since I got sick.

315
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: It's getting better.

316
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 4: So I put everything down. I opened my computer, which

317
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 4: is the key to all this. It's the thing that

318
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 4: unlocks everything. It's a thing that just makes everything work.

319
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 4: So I put my computer down and I turned you out.

320
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 4: I restarted whatever, and I noticed. I said, wait a minute,

321
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 4: you say, you know, the battery is getting pretty low.

322
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 4: The battery is getting pretty low, about you know, twenty

323
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 4: something percent. I better charge this bad boy. I got

324
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 4: a long night ahead, and I got a TV show

325
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 4: to do. I got a lot of stuff. I gotta

326
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 4: be on my computer all night, with my notes, my

327
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 4: my Bible, if you will.

328
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: So I reach into my bag.

329
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 4: I reached down to my My bag is on my left,

330
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 4: my left hand side.

331
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: Beeter's on in front of me, kind of to the right.

332
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 4: So I reached out of my bag to grab the charger,

333
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 4: and I grabbed the wrong charger. I grabbed the charger

334
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 4: from my phone instead of for the computer. So I

335
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 4: quickly tossed that aside. I put my hand back in

336
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 4: the computer bag and I'm fusing around. I'm going through

337
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 4: the computer bag and all that, doing my thing, and

338
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 4: I feel some pens. I felt there was some other

339
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 4: stuff that I had in there from my trip to

340
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 4: Kansas City that I just kind of threw in there.

341
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 4: So I'm like whatever, So and then I, well, I

342
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 4: must have put you know what, I must have put

343
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 4: the charger in the other because I have a big,

344
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 4: like briefcase type computer bag that I love. It's my

345
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 4: favorite bag. Take that everywhere. And so I was, all,

346
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 4: it must be in the other pockets. I have a

347
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 4: couple of pockets. So I opened the second pocket and

348
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 4: I'm kind of going through that and I don't feel anything.

349
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 4: I just feel some papers here, So that's not good.

350
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 4: So there's only one other pocket left, so that's got

351
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 4: to be it. That's where the charger. So I put

352
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 4: my hand in that and I'm I'm moving my hand

353
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 4: around and all that, and no bueno. Now this is

354
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 4: the moment in the story where I start panicking. Okay,

355
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 4: this is I don't know if you've had this happen

356
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 4: to you. But I live very far from the radio studio,

357
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 4: and I live pretty far from the TV studio, and

358
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 4: based on my schedule and I have a very tight window,

359
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 4: I still have much more do to get ready for

360
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 4: the TV show. In terms of notes, I have the

361
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 4: live radio show, which I cannot leave. You cannot leave

362
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 4: a live radio show. That's a sin. So I can't

363
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 4: leave the radio studio. I know that, And I know

364
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 4: the computer is a little over twenty percent. It's not

365
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 4: gonna last that long. And I'm like, I am completely porked.

366
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 4: I am completely porked.

367
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: So I'm freaking out, like what am I gonna do?

368
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: I need this for the TV shows? I do?

369
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 4: I turn it off right now and just you know,

370
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,479
Speaker 4: do whatever for the radio show. And he was one

371
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 4: of the old nineteen seventies style computers they.

372
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 1: Have in the studio.

373
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 4: And so I called the wife to see if she

374
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 4: had a charger, and she was looking around and we

375
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 4: were going back and forth, and one of her friends

376
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 4: at work came up with a bit of a solution,

377
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 4: and it was like, if you plug in your C

378
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 4: charger I think it's called, it's like a phone charger.

379
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: The updated phone charger.

380
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 4: You plugged that in, you should be somewhat okay, and

381
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 4: she's kind of vague about it. So I plugged it

382
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 4: in and it it said, this device is not charging.

383
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 4: So my initial thought was, oh, crap, I mean it's

384
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 4: not charging.

385
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: I'm done. That's I mean, that's it's not charging.

386
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 4: But it turned out what it did was it kept

387
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 4: the battery where it was. It kind of maintained it

388
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 4: mostly it still went down a little bit. But I

389
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 4: consider this a TV miracle because I made it through

390
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 4: four hours of overnight radio, made it through that, made

391
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 4: it through a large gap where I was on the

392
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 4: computer getting ready for the TV show, made it through

393
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 4: the TV show, and made it all the way home,

394
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 4: and it really is a TV miracle. It reminds me

395
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 4: of the story of Hanukkah, the festival of Lights, and

396
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 4: if you know anything about Hanukkah, even if you're not Jewish,

397
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 4: you should know the story. Imagine this is the I

398
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 4: love this. It came out a couple years This is

399
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 4: the way to explain Hankah to somebody that doesn't know Hankah.

400
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 4: Imagine if your cell phone was at ten percent but

401
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 4: lasted eight days, that's the legendary magic supposedly of Honkah.

402
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: Right, Well, my computer battery was a little over twenty.

403
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 4: Percent when I got to FSRS, I said, and I

404
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 4: was able to ride that thing out. And I promise

405
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 4: you for the rest of benny versus the penny, and

406
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 4: for the rest of time, every time I get ready

407
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 4: to go into the studio, I am going to make

408
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 4: sure I have that MF and charger. All right, I

409
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 4: am going to make sure I have that charger. No

410
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 4: matter what come, hell or high water, I am going

411
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 4: to have that charger. So I dodged one would have

412
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 4: been very awkward. I would have still been able to

413
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 4: pull it off, but the degree of difficulty would have

414
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 4: been much higher had I not had that charger. But

415
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 4: fortunately crisis averted. So I do want to thank the

416
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 4: wife for her advice. And it kind of worked, but

417
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 4: it did go down a little bit, and there was

418
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 4: a moment where it was down like, you know, like

419
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 4: less than than twelve percent, and I was like, oh boy,

420
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 4: this is this thing's going to die on me.

421
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm gonna do. Then I have

422
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: intermittent chest pain and I shortness to breath.

423
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 3: And pain in my left arm and my left shoulder.

424
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 4: And I'll say, oh, I say, make sure this guy

425
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 4: gets some some medical attention.

426
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: Coop.

427
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 4: Now the three man booth. I want to go back

428
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 4: to Monday. Monday Monday, I get the call out of

434
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 4: midday show, was not available, so they said, hey, how

Speaker 4: would you like to work with Rodney Pete on the

436
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 4: Rogan and Rodney Show? And I thought about it, and

437
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 4: I said, you know what, I haven't done this show

438
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 4: in a while. I did it during the summer. I

439
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 4: got an extra day. Why not, I'll do it, And

440
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 4: so I did it. There I was working with Rodney Pete,

00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 4: who was a legendary college football player. Was the pack

Speaker 4: the late nineteen eighties.

444
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 1: He was a rival with Troy Aikman.

445
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 4: They were going back and forth back and forth when

446
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 4: they were at SC.

447
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: He was at SC.

448
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 4: Rodney Pete and Troy Aikman was at UCLA. He's a

449
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 4: USC Hall of Famer, and he played in the NFL

450
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 4: with the Detroit Lions, the Cowboys, the Redskins, the Raiders,

451
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 4: the Panthers. He bounced bounced around the NFL in the nineties,

452
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 4: mostly with the Lions.

453
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: I remember him with the Lions.

454
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 4: But he also played with Philadelphia and Washington Oakland in

455
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 4: Carolina and played along. I played one hundred started, started

456
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 4: eighty seven games. Rodney pet in the NFL played one

457
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 4: hundred and four games. I was on the radio show

458
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 4: with him, and then it was Monday, so we found

459
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 4: out it was a three man booth. Three man booth,

460
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 4: third man in, third man in. This is where it

461
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 4: gets pretty pretty wild. So as you know, I assume,

462
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 4: can I guess? I can't assume. You know, growing up,

463
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 4: I was a fan of the Lams as a child.

464
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 4: The team of my youth is Tomloney likes to say,

465
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 4: loved loved the Rams. And one of the reasons I

466
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 4: loved the Rams when I was a little kid was

467
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 4: because of a certain running back who was number twenty

468
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 4: nine in your program, but number one in my heart

469
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 4: from Sealy, Texas SMU Eric Dickerson he's our running back.

470
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 4: So Eric Dickerson does a lot of work for the

471
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 4: local station AM five seventy and he was the third

472
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 4: man in the third man in breaking down the Rams

473
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 4: game and the Chargers game in the NFL in general

474
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 4: from the day before.

475
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 1: So this is one of those moments where you're like, well,

476
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:58,959
Speaker 1: is this really happening? Now?

477
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 4: I'm all bit and jaded and grown up. You know,

478
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 4: I'm a middle aged man now. I guess maybe past

479
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 4: middle ages. I don't even know when it is middle aged.

480
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 4: You don't know when you're going to die, so you

481
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 4: don't know in middle ages. So whatever, I'm living my life.

482
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 4: But still, when I heard that Eric Dickerson was going

483
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 4: to be on one of my my saddest moments as

484
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 4: a sports fan as a child was when the Rams

485
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 4: traded Eric Dickerson in the late nineteen eighties to the

486
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 4: Indianapolis Colts.

487
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: I was absolutely devastated. You can't do that. What is

488
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: wrong with you? I mean, what's a shame on you?

489
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: What are you doing?

490
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 4: But it was nineteen eighty seven. I was a kid

491
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 4: and Dickerson, I think I played a couple games with

492
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 4: the Rams. There was that strike that Fuges strike season

493
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 4: in nineteen eighty seven, and Dickerson was traded to the

494
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 4: Indianapolis Colts. It was one of the largest trades in

495
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 4: the history of the NFL, and I think still to

496
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 4: this day it is a historically massive trade. But Eric

497
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 4: Dickerson was great to work with. It was very nice

498
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 4: and I don't know that he know knew my backstory.

499
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 4: But that's the guy that still has the record most

500
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 4: rushing yards in a single season in NFL history, two

501
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 4: one hundred five yards. You talking about unbreakable records, even

502
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 4: with an extra game. Most rushing yards in a season

503
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 4: by a rookies got that record. Most rushing yards in

504
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 4: a playoff game. Eric Dickerson put up two hundred and

505
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 4: forty eight yards in a playoff game. He's a College

506
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 4: Football Hall of Famer, He's a Pro Football Hall of Famer.

507
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 4: And more importantly, he is now on my list of

508
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 4: co hosts that I've done radio with. And it gets

509
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 4: even more wacky. Eric Dickerson pointed out that he loved

510
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 4: the hat that I was wearing as we did the show.

511
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 4: I had my white and blue Brooklyn Dodgers hat where

512
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 4: it's got the white background and the blue Bee just pops.

513
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 4: It just absolutely pops. And Dickerson said he liked that. Hey,

514
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 4: he wanted to get one of those hats. So this

515
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 4: is very reminiscent. I know Alf and Bergdog will back

516
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 4: me up on this of when I ran into the

517
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 4: Great Steve Harvey, another one of my heroes, the Great

518
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 4: Steve Harvey, game show host, Steve Harvey, America's game show host,

519
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 4: in the parking lot at the a Heart Media building,

520
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 4: the Premier Networks building, and he was walking in with

521
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 4: his security guard and he pointed out the color of

522
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 4: my car and said, I like that color.

523
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: I liked that color of the automobile.

524
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 4: And just like that, a bond was made, an absolute

525
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 4: bond was made, for sure, for sure. Oh, let's have

526
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 4: some foody fund we'll push back. I don't have too

527
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 4: much time left, so I want to get some foody fun.

528
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 4: And though it is Thanksgiving next week and KFC has

529
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 4: announced they have Cajun deep fried turkey available now this

530
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 4: is I believe only in California and in Washington State.

531
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 4: Has KFC's jealous of Popeyes for a little while. Anyway,

532
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 4: Popeyes has the Cajun Turkey, which is their version and

533
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 4: KFC's turkey is fully cooked, heat and serve option. It's

534
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 4: priced at eighty dollars. It is not available for online

535
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 4: orders or delivery. It's only available for pickup. They have

536
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 4: a turkey which can be purchased as part of a

537
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 4: holiday meal for one hundred and ten dollars or a

538
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 4: holiday feast for one hundred and twenty dollars. In it

539
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,560

540
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 4: the biscuits, the whole thing. That's all part of the

541
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 4: package there at KFC. Now the Popeyes, which I have

542
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 4: not had, but I'm not gonna lie. I'm considering the

543
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 4: Popeyes option. I'm considering the Popeyes option. The Cajun style

544
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 4: turkey's online available. Turkey's eleven to thirteen pounds on average.

545
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 4: It's rubbed and infused with the signature Louisiana style seasonings

546
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 4: for a zesty, bold flavor. And they say it serves

547
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 4: eight to twelve people. That's what they claim, And that's

548
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 4: one hundred dollars.

549
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: And I've never.

550
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 4: Cooked the turkey. I've done a lot of other things

551
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 4: having cooked the turkey. We are actually hosting the Thanksgiving

552
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,959
Speaker 4: for the family. We're at the point now where all

553
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 4: the old relatives have died and now we're up, you know,

554
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 4: until we die, and then we got to pass the

555
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 4: baton to somebody else. So and that's with my wife's family.

585
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 4: fast food restaurants over the years have figured out and

586
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 4: I blame KFC for this. They were the ones that

587
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 4: really benefited. They found out how to make these quick

588
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 4: money grabs, like McDonald's with the McRib pizza. U it's
