You don't go 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.040 to great lengths like that to find out that you're 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:53.799 still a loser. 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:56.639 And let me tell you, I've been to enough funerals 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.120 now at this point in my life here's what's gonna happen. Right, 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.840 you go to your funeral when you die. There'll be 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:06.040 people morning. They'll be in black, some people were very upset. 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.000 There'll be some people happy or dead. There'll be some 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.839 There'll be people there that have no idea why they're there, 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:13.959 they were dragged there by someone else, They don't really 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.440 want to be there, and like anybody likes going to 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.520 a funeral. And then there'll also be the people there 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.800 that want they want something from you, like money or 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.320 something like that. They think they need to be there, 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.520 right because maybe they're in the will or maybe you 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.000 left them your old baseball cards or something like that, 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:32.000 you know that kind of stuff. 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:37.600 So or in our case radio community. And then guys 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:40.320 would get up there and tell stories about some of 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:42.160 the bits and the jokes that you did on the 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.040 air that they'll always remember. 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:48.480 Well that is that is true? Well, you know who 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:52.440 hired you at? When did you start at Fox Sports Radio? 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:56.600 I got I got hired at the end of twenty fourteen, 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:02.680 and it was Annie and and Scott Shapiro had just started. 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:06.880 Okay, because one of the wildest funerals I've ever been 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:09.760 to our old boss at Fox sports radio. This guy 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:11.680 named Andrew Ashwood. 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:13.960 Who I've heard plenty of stories about him. 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:19.080 Bigger than life, and he he got cancer at a 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:25.359 young age and passed away and from San Antonio, great 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:29.080 radio guy, and he knew he was going to check out. 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:33.719 He had a fatal disease that was incurable and so 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:35.760 he kind of had a chance to plan things out. 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:41.320 And he loved the Green Bay Packers, and he planned 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:45.880 this funeral which was actually like a kind of a party. 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:50.400 It was a celebration of life and it was pretty cool. 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:54.200 It was really really wild. There was the craziest party 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.279 I've ever been to at the Hollywood Hills, like a 0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:01.560 real Hollywood party, like people shorton lines of coke off 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:06.640 hookers took it is like it was unreal and that 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.880 just blew me away there. That was a wild night. 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:14.880 But anyway, sounds like my twenties with Deaf Jam records. 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:19.280 Yeah, I saw that stuff in movies. But that's that's 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.400 about it up until that point. Also on Pop Go's 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:24.760 the Culture, how about this? I didn't talk about this 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:29.120 on the radio show Pat Sajack, Yeah, done, what are 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.880 we gonna do? We lost Alex Trebek and now Pat 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:36.840 Sajak those shows simultaneous, right back to back, Wheel the 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:38.039 Fortune and Jeopardy. 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.480 Who would have ever thought that Vanna White would outlast 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:42.480 Pat Sajack. 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.320 Didn't They try to get rid of Vana White years 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:46.640 ago because she was too old. 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.840 Yeah, and then there was bad blood, I guess between 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:51.960 the two of them. I don't know if there still is, 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:56.200 but anytime I've seen it on TV, I get a 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.000 weird vibe from the two of them. 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:03.640 Yeah. Well I actually met Pat Sajack. I'll do a 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:10.520 look at me Hollywood story. But Pat Sajack, he used 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:11.960 to go to Dodger games all the time. You know, 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:13.760 he lives in I think he lives in Maryland. He 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:15.440 lives in the east, on the East Coast. He doesn't 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.480 live in LA. He flies out the tape wheel of 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.640 Flour a couple of times a year. He'll tape like 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:22.880 tons of episodes in a week and then go back 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.480 and like when I say tons of episodes, Dady, they 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:29.400 tape like twenty a day or some ridiculous number. 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.200 Like, oh, yeah, they film all day long. 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:38.080 Yeah. Anyway, So my run in with Pat Sajack, well 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.000 there were there were actually there were two run ins, 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:42.760 So there was this guy named Stu Nahan who was 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:46.640 an LA sportscaster and like a legendary figure. He was 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:51.280 in movies. He was in Rocky Fast Times at Ridgemont High, 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:54.760 like all these different old school movies, and he had 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.720 bit parts, you know, usually played a TV anchor, which 0:06:57.760 --> 0:06:59.520 is what he did. He was a sports anchor in 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:03.800 LA and so I knew Stu. Stu was nice to me. 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:05.680 Actually took one of my jobs with the Dodgers, but 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.880 that's a different story. But Stu passed away a number 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:12.000 of years ago, and he was really good friends with 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.840 Pat Sajack. I had actually seen say Jack and Stu 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.640 at a Dodger game. That was like my first time 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:22.320 I came across Pat Sajack. But Pat Sajack spoke. He 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:27.280 was like the host of the funeral, the memorial service 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:31.160 for my friend, you know, Stune and his friend. He 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:32.240 was better friends with him than me. 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:33.560 And it was. 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:39.000 Actually at the movie theater right across from the studios 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:43.000 in Sherman Oaks, at the Galleria there. They ran it 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.200 out a theater in the afternoon. I didn't even know 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:49.520 you could do this, and there were invited, you know, 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:54.600 celebrities and you know people dignitaries. And that's also where 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:58.880 I Scott Boris, the agent, was there as well. He spoke, 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:01.840 but any way, was the host, and it was it 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.280 was wonderful because he told one of the all time 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:08.560 great stories. So Pat Sajack worked in Los Angeles television. 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.200 I think, if I remember correctly, he was like the 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:13.840 weather guy. I might be wrong on that, but I 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:15.320 think he was the weather guy. 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:16.680 Sounds about right. 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.960 Yeah. And so there was this game show that was 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:27.240 starting and he's like, hey, you know, take it, ladies. 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:32.360 He said no. Pat Sajak asked stud and Ahan for advice. 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:37.120 He's like, hey, can you can you help help me out? 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.439 I'm thinking about taking this job. I don't know. It's 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.680 a you know, it's a game show. And what do 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:46.680 you think Stu? And so Stu, who had all his 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:50.120 TV experience at the time, he and Pat tells the 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:53.679 story great, So he says, he asked Stu and Stu 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:57.200 Sue said, no, don't do that. Those game shows never last. 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.839 You'll never you'll never make it work. You know, people 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:03.280 always need the weather, they always need the weather. They 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:05.719 don't need you know, they don't need what you're doing 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:09.560 over there. And of course, what forty one years for 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:14.720 Pat Sajak he started in nineteen eighty one. 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:18.520 That is even longer than Bob Barker's run, which was 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:20.200 thirty five years. 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:28.360 Yeah, that's who's going to replace Pat Sajak. Eh, you 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:32.320 know that, you know who the favorite is? No, Ryan 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:36.480 Seacrest is the phase of the favorite. 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:38.040 Yeah. 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:41.040 Should I point out, Danny that when I started in 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:45.400 LA radio, there there was Ryan Seacrest was the afternoon 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:50.480 DJ at ninety eight point seven, which Starr FM or 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.120 what it was called at the time. Jimmy Kimmel was 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:57.000 the morning sports guy at k Rock. I did a 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:01.400 mid day show on the sports station. And which of 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:06.199 those three people did not hit the lottery? Danny, Uh, 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:08.600 not that I'm bitter, Not that I'm bitter. I'm happy 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:11.000 for them. Good for them, you know, wonderful. 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.480 Listen, my man, you've become one of the sports legends. 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:15.000 My man. 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:18.000 Oh man, you're a legend.

Say Jack, that's a great gig, that's an 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:28.000 easy gig. Well, see, Chres quit his morning show. He 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:29.319 moved back to La. 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:34.080 So, yeah, do that. That's probably why the rumor mill 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:35.480 already started about him. 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:38.800 Oh yeah, you think that that was already planned out. 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:39.679 You think they. 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:44.680 Maybe maybe his uh, maybe his uh what do you 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:49.319 call it, his handlers, his uh, his agency knew something 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:49.839 about it. 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:55.480 Yeah, could be, could be. Usually I don't. Usually most 0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:58.440 of the time, from my experience, when a big job 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:02.240 like that opens up, it's already filled before it opens up. 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:06.560 There's already somebody lined up, and it's unfortunate, but that's 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.199 usually the way that works. But the one that didn't 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.240 have that lined up because it wasn't planned was it 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:16.400 was jeopardy. They still don't have like it's kind of 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:17.240 like wandering. 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:19.200 We thought they had their person. 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:26.480 Yeah, well you know what happens when you Yeah, pop 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:29.599 goes the culture?

I swear to god this is 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:22.880 not adult, but this is actually. 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:27.000 Were So there's two people or two subjects fatter in 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:27.640 your backyard. 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:33.800 Correct, And they're very large. They're like a nice I 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:38.640 don't know, they're like they look like ilius, like big guys. 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:41.040 They have big eyes, like like I can't excited and 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:46.320 big I'm out their tiny eyes and and they're not 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:47.719 human one hundred percent. They're not human. 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:54.000 And you hear how calm he is. He's just like, 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:58.760 it's one hundred not human. And because he's so calm, 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:02.280 spot was ourding on our show that it's completely fake. 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:07.880 No, no, no, no, I haven't asked my wife about this, 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:11.160 but I have a theory that the nine to one 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:14.920 one operators get so many bullshit calls that they probably 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.520 just assumed this guy's on some kind of drugs and 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.320 these just imagining this, you know, and I'll type it in. 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:25.319 The Vegas PD saw something that night in that neighborhood, 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.880 and that's why they actually took his call serious. And 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.440 now the follow up to the story is they have 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:36.800 actually put some cameras on this kid's property. 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.760 But they don't have photos of what they saw, right. 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:44.000 They don't know how come they never have photos of 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:47.360 these things and everyone's got cameras everywhere. I don't understand. 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:51.600 I think something like that and if it happens fast, 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:55.480 and who knows how fast these vessels are, then that's 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:57.200 the other thing. That was the other argument on our 0:13:57.240 --> 0:14:00.360 afternoon show is why does it always look great? Any 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:04.600 like it came from an old Nokia flip phone exactly. 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:10.560 It's fascinating. Now, listen, I believe there are absolutely creatures 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:13.720 that are living on the planet. Don't I'm not naive 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.800 to think that that is not not going on here. 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:18.680 I mean, I think I look out to the heavens 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:21.440 and I am like, oh, there's stuff going on. I 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:23.800 believe that, but it's just odd that there's not been 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:30.640 any kind of photographic or video clear, video clear photographs. 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.040 There was something legit going on with this though, the 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:39.080 way the PD reacted, the footage that the police actually 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:42.320 had of the property, and the article said that there 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:47.240 was a small crop circle in their backyard, So I 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.240 haven't seen a photo of that. I don't know. It's 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:52.320 so hard to believe any of this, But at the 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:55.400 same time, we've talked about it on the podcast before. 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:59.240 You'd be naive, so naive to be like, ah, there's 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:04.200 no such we're the only ones here and who oh cowherd. 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.400 Recently there's a video of him saying we are the 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:11.000 only ones. There's no aliens, and he's going on and 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:13.920 on about how humans are the only life form in 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:14.640 the galaxy. 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.240 Yeah, well we can add that. I love Colin, but 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:20.720 as he's pointed out, he's not paid to get his 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:24.680 takes right, He's paid to have a take. That's fine. 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:28.440 And then when the aliens pop up, I'm sure he'll 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.160 he'll ask whether or not they can play with Lebron, 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:35.200 or whether they should play the cowl or whatever and 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:38.880 all that. So, yeah, hey, I'd love to hang out 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.840 with an alien. I think that would be be wonderful. 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.720 I think the first alien to ever play in the NBA. 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:48.040 Colin will be pounding on his desk trying to get 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:51.120 them to get picked by the Warriors. 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:54.760 Yeah, they need a super team, a super galaxy team 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:59.800 from outside this the Milky Way Galaxy and all that. Yeah. 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:03.000 Well the alien story that I saw and we got 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:04.360 to get to the mail back because there's a ton 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:08.840 of mail. But this guy, David Grush, I believe that 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:12.640 the guy that has been the whistleblower, and he's the 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.960 guy that said, hey, listen, I need to speak because 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:20.520 this is real. And like the US House of Representatives 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:24.240 announced they are planning to hold hearings to investigate the 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:28.480 claims by this Air Force guy, decorated Air Force veteran. 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:32.720 So he added on to his story this week. He's 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:35.240 the guy that says they've recovered the United States has 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:39.880 retrieved UFOs. Right, he said it, and now he's added 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:45.880 onto it. His latest claim. He says that the Vatican 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:52.280 was involved in the the first ever mission of the 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:58.880 United States the secret UFO retrieval program. He said, it's 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:03.840 long been known that the regime of the Italian dictator 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:14.920 Mussolini documented numerous unidentified aerial phenomena UFOs or UFOs, and 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:19.440 there's an internal memo from the Italian secret service and 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:26.520 includes drawings of the unidentified aerial phenomena. And in nineteen 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:31.360 thirty three, almost one hundred years ago, was the first 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:38.560 recovery in Europe and it was in Italy. There you go, 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:41.920 you're maybe some old relative there, Danny back in Italy 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:45.000 might have been doing that for you. But they recovered 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:49.199 a partially intact vehicle. The Italian government moved it to 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:53.159 the secret air base. It was there until around nineteen 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:59.879 forty four or nineteen forty five, and the Pope backed 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:04.000 channeled that and told the Americans what the Italians had, 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:10.480 and so the Americans then scooped it up the Pope. 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:15.280 This is unbelievable, sounds like a movie. We got Mussolini, 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:20.040 we got the Pope. And is that time? Did it? 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:25.600 When did technology explode? Because my theory has always been 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:28.919 it's like the iPhone and all these gadgets that we 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:34.120 use is a direct result of re engineering alien technology. 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:38.359 So if the guy said around nineteen forty five, so 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:40.919 let's say they got the vehicle from Italy in nineteen 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:44.600 forty five. They then, what do you think how many 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:47.080 years does it take to figure it out reverse engineer 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:52.879 the technology? Ten twelve years probably, maybe maybe longer. But 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:56.880 would that work out where the advancements in technology took 0:18:56.920 --> 0:19:01.000 place from that point forward that things have gone at 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:03.000 a ridiculously high paced since then. 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:06.399 Could be. I mean, that's how my mom had that 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:08.680 state of the art JVC stereo. 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:12.680 All right, well that should be I think that we'll 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:14.640 leave it on that. There were some other pop goos, 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:16.000 the culture stories, but we have to get to the 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:20.119 mail bag, Danny, why got tons of mail?

Jeff In Jackson, Tennessee writes and he says, 0:20:57.280 --> 0:21:00.560 do you all? And that means he's legitimate Tennessee. When 0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:03.960 you start out by saying do y'all, that's legitimate Tennessee. 0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:06.159 That's not a guy that moved to Tennessee. That's a 0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:08.760 guy who was born in Tennessee and is like the 0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:13.399 fifth or sixth generation from Tennessee. Anyway, Jeff says, do 0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:17.679 y'all do sports talk because you love sports? Or is 0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:19.920 it fame and fortune? 0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:21.400 Jesus? 0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:25.119 And what sports, if any, did you play back in 0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:28.120 the day. That's from Jeff in Jackson, Tennessee. Well, as 0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:30.520 you know, Jeff, I'll go first here. When you really 0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:34.480 want fame and fortune, sports radio, especially for me overnight, 0:21:34.560 --> 0:21:38.360 sports radio is really the place you go to. It's 0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:43.040 either that or become a Hollywood star or on Broadway 0:21:43.440 --> 0:21:48.800 or any of those other things. No sports commentator is 0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:52.359 right at the top. So I absolutely hate sports, and 0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:55.919 I only do it because of the fame and the wealth. 0:21:56.720 --> 0:22:02.760 As you know, Danny, when I move houses, my home 0:22:03.080 --> 0:22:06.520 purchase is in the real estate section of the La 0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:11.840 Times because I buy such expensive property, that is why. 0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:17.800 And as far as sports, played played all the big sports. 0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:25.399 I played baseball, basketball, football, loved them all occasionally volleyball. 0:22:25.520 --> 0:22:28.440 Didn't really love that, but played. I played soccer when 0:22:28.440 --> 0:22:31.560 I was a kid, football, all of those. What about you, Danny? 0:22:32.320 --> 0:22:36.440 Love radio, and even if there was no popularity attached 0:22:36.480 --> 0:22:40.440 to it, I would still do radio, love music, love sports. 0:22:40.880 --> 0:22:43.879 Sports was the other passion growing up in It was 0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:47.320 sports and it was music. As kids, those were the 0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:50.200 two things that me and my older brother both loved 0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:53.080 a lot. Street trunks for legs. So as a kid, 0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:56.320 I was a running back, had some speed. I was 0:22:56.320 --> 0:22:59.639 hard to take down. And for baseball, even as an adult, 0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:04.440 still playing in a league at Balboa Park, third baseman, 0:23:04.840 --> 0:23:09.040 and I wrote, line drives down the third baseline. 0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:12.000 Is Walt Rinniac your hitting coach is that you're. 0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:15.520 You know, I haven't got to play in a few 0:23:15.600 --> 0:23:18.879 years because of our crazy radio schedules, but I'm hoping 0:23:18.920 --> 0:23:22.360 to get back. Because Rich Davis from Covino and Rich, 0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:25.800 he plays in that same league at Balboa Park. 0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:28.760 You guys should have a Covino and Rich league. 0:23:29.240 --> 0:23:31.800 They've talked with some editors. They're trying to put a 0:23:31.880 --> 0:23:33.679 FSR softball team together. 0:23:34.119 --> 0:23:35.480 Oh that'd be cool. 0:23:35.680 --> 0:23:36.600 Yeah, it would be cool. 0:23:36.760 --> 0:23:39.400 I might actually play in that, but the probably play 0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:41.440 on knights. I can't do it, but if they played 0:23:41.480 --> 0:23:42.800 on a night I could, I would be part of that. 0:23:42.840 --> 0:23:45.359 Next up on the mailbag, Mike in Fullerton writes, and 0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:49.159 he says, hello, Ben and Danny g now that the 0:23:49.280 --> 0:23:53.159
