He's the last remnants 4 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 2: of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He 5 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 6 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

Podcast continues 17 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: even on a holiday weekend when we could conceivably go 18 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: to management and say why would we do a podcast 19 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: because it's a holiday weekend, But we're here anyway. That's 20 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: how much we love the pot. 21 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, we are the Joe Flacco of Podcasting Alive and 22 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 3: Kicking Oh. 23 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: Speaking of Joe Flacco. Man, Now, I know I was 24 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: not at my post last night, but I didn't do 25 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: a couple of shows this week, So I don't feel guilty. 26 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: Jerk yourself away. I don't feel guilty. But I had 27 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: a chance to settle in and watch a bunch of games. 28 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: On Thursday night, I was flipping around. I watched a 29 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,199 Speaker 1: little bit of that Pop Tart. That Pop Tart game. 30 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: I saw that, and I actually believe it or not 31 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: watching an NBA game. I watched the end of the 32 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: Celtics and the Pistons on NBC Sports Boston as it 33 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: huh oh man, that game, now listen to. The Pistons 34 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,559 Speaker 1: didn't win the game, but they covered the spread. And 35 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: that's one of those games you're like, is that the Mafioso? 36 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: I we used to call that a Soprano special back 37 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: when that show was on the air. I was like, 38 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: how does that happen? I know the Celtics were without 39 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: a couple of guys, but still the Pistons blow and 40 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: they had the Celtics. They were up big. They were 41 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: up like twenty points in the first half of that game. 42 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 4: It was nut. 43 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: So I watched that and then but I really focused 44 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: in on the Thursday night game. Now, normally I wouldn't 45 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: give a rats ass. I'm not on the Jets and 46 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: the Browns. I mean, what is that? And I didn't 47 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: have to watch it. This is how buch a loser 48 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: I am, Danny. I didn't have to watch it. I 49 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: wasn't doing a show. I didn't have a monologue to 50 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: do about the game. And I watched it anyway, what 51 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: a dumb ass I And I actually enjoyed it. And 52 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what my first point on that. And 53 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: I know we're not here to do sporty. We don't 54 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: do sporty on the podcast. But it was a little 55 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: bittersweet watching the game because in my head, I'm very 56 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: concerned that my guy, Al Michaels is going to be 57 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: put out the pastor was a little sentimental because it's 58 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: conceivable that that was his final NFL broadcast. Now nothing's 59 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: been announced yet, but there's no Thursday night game in 60 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: week eighteen because they don't want to give anyone an 61 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: advantage for the playoffs, and so if Al does not 62 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: come back next year, he's not going to do a 63 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: playoff game for NBC. He's been kicked out of that, 64 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: so that it's possible that that was it, the final 65 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 1: broadcast of really what is part of my youth? Al 66 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: Michaels It's and you too, Dan's. It was a little 67 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: bit nostalgic, and I hope that's not it. I hope 68 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: al comes back and does another game. I don't care 69 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: how many young young idiots on social media rip him. 70 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: I love the guy because I watch al Michaels. I'm 71 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: like ten years old again watching al Michaels. That was 72 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: my first thought. And you know, again, maybe it's nothing 73 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: and it's just me overreacting here, but all the negative 74 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: stuff around al Michaels, I'm like, well, that could be 75 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: the final practice. And the other thought I had was 76 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: this Joe Flacco thing, and am I let me ask 77 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: you this, Am I a bad person? I guess it's 78 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: been a rhetorical question. Am I a bad person? Get 79 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: a little jerk in that part of me really wants 80 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: to see the Cleveland Browns go to the Super Bowl 81 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: for two reasons. Okay, Number one, it would make de 82 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: Shaun Watson, the creepy quarterback, look about as bad as 83 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: you could possibly look right. That's the main point. But 84 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: then also the Jets when Aaron Rodgers got hurt and 85 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: the Jets had a bunch of turns out there playing quarterback, 86 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: and Flacco wanted to play for the Jets, and they 87 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: wouldn't even return his phone calls. And if he were 88 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: to go on a magic carpet, right, and he is 89 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: historically one of the ten greatest postseason quarterbacks in NFL history. 90 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: Jim Plunkett is number one, number one, your guy from 91 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: the Raiders at eight and two in the postseason. Mahomes 92 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: a second Brawn, Adshaw, Aikman, Brady, Montana, Warner and Flacco 93 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: in terms of winning percentage in the postseason. So that 94 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: those were my thoughts. And the game the second half 95 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: the Browns, they had a couple of injuries to the receiver, 96 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: they did nothing. Flaccoed thirteen yards passing. I believe in 97 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: the second half of that game last night, I gets 98 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: the Jets. But uh, what do you think that, Dandy? 99 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: I my nuts? Am I out of my mind here 100 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: thinking that Al Michaels that could be it for Al 101 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: and that that might have been his final final broadcast. 102 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: I have. 103 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 3: Seem for Al no I mean one telling sign. He 104 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 3: walked into the tunnel side by side with Randall Cobb, 105 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,799 Speaker 3: so that might. 106 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 4: Be it for al Michaels last dance. 107 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 3: Usually when somebody's walking next to Randall Cobb, it's over 108 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 3: very disturbing. 109 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: Yes, especially when he's walking out of a huddle. That's 110 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 1: usually a bad sign. Went. 111 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 3: And then as far as Joe Flacco, I think the 112 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 3: really cool part his comeback Player of the Year status. 113 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 3: He was literally in his kids drop off line at 114 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 3: school when he got the call from the Browns. 115 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 4: Yeah. 116 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: Normally when you get a call from the Browns, you're like, oh, man, 117 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: I hope I didn't clog the toilet. But this is 118 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: I mean, this is exciting here. Now he's got a shot. 119 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: And it's as you know, Danny, a lot of what 120 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: we do now is as we are radio gas bags 121 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: in Blullhearts. It's all about the story. That's a really 122 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: good story. That's a great story. But I'm looking at 123 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: it unlike most of the media, where the media is like, oh, 124 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: this is great. You know, old guy rises up one 125 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: last hurrah fhades in the sunset. I'm looking at from 126 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: the shot in freuder perspective as I said that this 127 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: would be like an f you to Deshaun Watson, who's 128 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: there forever quarterback who stinks for the Browns. And then 129 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: it's also an few to the Jets because they didn't 130 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: want to touch this flat even though they knew Rogers 131 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: was going to be out all year, and they put 132 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: that stiff, a complete thunderhead, Zach Wilson in there, and 133 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: then they've had a parade of suck that has followed him. 134 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 4: No, I love it too. 135 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 3: I mentioned it as Covino and Rich filled in for 136 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 3: the Dan Patrick Show Thursday morning. I said, it's an 137 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 3: indictment on the Jets for not giving Flacco a chance. 138 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 3: Everybody knew who Zach Wilson was. The Jets acted as 139 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 3: if they knew something we didn't know, but it obviously 140 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 3: didn't pan out that way. Zach Wilson is who we thought. 141 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 3: He was not going to change. That dude is going 142 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 3: to be a career backup in the NFL who bounces 143 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 3: around from team to team. 144 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: The great stat that I saw bouncing around Joe Flacco 145 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: thirteen touchdown passes this season. The New York Jets as 146 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: a team have eleven, and Flacco didn't even play until 147 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: December third. It's not like Flacco's perfect, He's not turned 148 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: the ball over a lot, but it's working. It's not 149 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: I mean, he's not the greatest thing in the NFL, 150 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: but it is working. 151 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 3: One thing I did want to mention, though, was it 152 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 3: because I like stats like that. I saw at Antonio 153 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 3: Piers stat the Raiders defense. They have better stats right 154 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 3: now in seven games with Antonio Pierce, then their defense 155 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 3: put up all last season in seventeen games. 156 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, he's been he's been great. If they still 157 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: got to find a quarterback though, even if you keep 158 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: anton eight and O'Connell, ain't it. 159 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 3: Oh no, he's speaking of backup quarterbacks. He'll be a 160 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 3: good He'll be a decent backup. But obviously the Raiders 161 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 3: do need their franchise quarterback. But that defense, Holy walk 162 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 3: em only did you pick the Raiders to cover on 163 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 3: Christmas Day? 164 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 4: No? 165 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: I did not on the team. It took the Chiefs 166 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: in that game. But well, when the Raiders playing the 167 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: Colts this weekend, so I so that's a back to 168 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: back road game. But yeah, the cult. 169 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,079 Speaker 3: Your thoughts changed on or your view of Patrick Mahomes 170 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 3: has it changed a little bit? He used to just 171 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 3: strike me as ultra competitive. Now I look at him 172 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 3: as a big kind of cry baby. 173 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: Well, the thing about Mahomes, The first thought on Mahomes 174 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: is I didn't think he would fall down this far, 175 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: like I thought, you know, the Chiefs don't have great playmakers. 176 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: But his the pouting and stuff. I don't get really 177 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: worked up about that because I said Tom Brady did 178 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,719 Speaker 1: the same crap. You know, he was how many times 179 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: did Brady pout and cry if he didn't get a 180 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: call or something like that. So that's it's annoying, and 181 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: you know, we haven't seen a lot of that from Mahomes. 182 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: The other thing I love, and this happens all the 183 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: time when a team wins the Super Bowl, has success 184 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,599 Speaker 1: and then they fall fall down a little bit. It's you, 185 00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: you're doing too many commercials. It's Taylor's swift. It's this 186 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: that one of my and we're gonna talk about this 187 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 1: on the TV show this week. One of the storylines 188 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: that Mike Florio and others are thrown out are or 189 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: that the Chiefs need to bring back Eric b Enemy right, 190 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: that that that's why they're not any good on offense. 191 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: And so I did did a little recon on Eric B. 192 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: Enemy and I noticed and this does not does not 193 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: fit the narrative, so they don't like to talk about it, 194 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: like you know the old story. When the legend be 195 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: comes to fact, you go with the legend. And so 196 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: the legend is that and I have nothing, you know, 197 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 1: I have nothing. 198 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 4: I don't know B. 199 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: Enemy or anything like that, but I just know that 200 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: he has not been the savior, the messiah. The Washington 201 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 1: football team, they actually, Danny have worse numbers in total 202 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: offense year to year with Eric B. Enemy and they 203 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,719 Speaker 1: did the year before. And the Enemy was brought in 204 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: and he was supposed to be this guy that was 205 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: gonna help the quarterback Sam Howell blossom and Howl just 206 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: got benched this week. So but but yet these stories 207 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: still get written about. You know, Pienemy needs to come 208 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: back to Kansas City and all that. They know what 209 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: the Chiefs needs. They need better players, that's what they need. 210 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: They need better players is what they need. 211 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, and don't And I don't want anyone to ever 212 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 3: feel sorry for them because they stuck it to my 213 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 3: favorite team for a few years, for quite a few 214 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 3: years now. And remember when they ran that ring around 215 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 3: the Rosie play. Oh yeah, oh, Kansas City. 216 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: But look at the Chiefs. So if you if you 217 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 1: look at it from this perspective, they're not particularly good. 218 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: They've gotten worse, they haven't gotten better as the season's 219 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: gone on. But you look around the division. The Raiders 220 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: fired their coach, the Chargers fired their coach, the Broncos, 221 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: I don't know what they're Russell. 222 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 4: Wilson, you know, you fired their quarterback. 223 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: It's honorable discharge by you know what Russell was. So 224 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: it's like the whole division in his flummox and Kansas 225 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: City is still not particularly great, but the whole division 226 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: is wonky in the West. 227 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, man, you said it about the Raiders quarterback situation. 228 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 3: Imagine if they had signed a Baker Mayfield or a 229 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 3: Joe Flacco, if they had a serviceable quarterback right now, 230 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 3: they could seriously be looking at the playoffs. I know 231 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 3: they could still sneak in with a couple of wins 232 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 3: to end the season and a couple of losses from 233 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 3: other AFC teams, but if they had a serviceable quarterback, 234 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 3: they could be a true threat in the playoffs. 235 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, no question about it. A couple of things I'm 236 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: gonna call this one razorburn. On the podcast, we have 237 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: more oddities from the boob Tube now. This week, as 238 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 1: we talked about it, a couple of radio shows. Typically 239 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 1: we are dark this week racist on my end, you know, 240 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: over the years, I've usually taken the week between Christmas 241 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: and New Year's and not done any broadcasting. But we 242 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: had to do the TV show, which is a good 243 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,199 Speaker 1: problem to have, So I figured, why not. The way 244 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: the show works, the way we do it, we have meetings. 245 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: One day, we go over everything. I have to do 246 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: my prep. I do that a lot. But we have 247 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: one day where it's just like all put together, and 248 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: then I have to contact We're in communication with our 249 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: producers and Benny versus the penny there Vinnie who's our producer, 250 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: and so I have to work with him, and then 251 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: we do the show the following day. And so it's 252 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: a couple of days of mildly hard mental labor. And 253 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: so I figured, I'm working those days anyway, why not 254 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: just do the radio. It's not like I'm going to 255 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: have days off, so I might as well just do it. 256 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: And so I might as well double dip. We did, 257 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: and we mentioned this last week on the Podcastie, I 258 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: had a shaver malfunction. My beard trimmer met in untimely demise, 259 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: and so if you watched the last week's episode of 260 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: the show on Christmas weekend, had a little more hair 261 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: than I normally do it. So my wife didn't assauld 262 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: that she ordered a brand new shiny razor, so I 263 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: would be be right there. I'd be prim and proper 264 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: for the camera. I'm groomed and ready to go. 265 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 4: Is this a Harry's razor commercial? 266 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: Well, if they want to contact our sales department at iHeart, 267 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: we would love to do. 268 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 4: Well. I know they're on the air on a couple 269 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 4: of our shows. 270 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: So what do you expect? Then? Let me ask you this, 271 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: What do you expect? And you listening, what do you 272 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: expect when you order something online in the year twenty 273 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: twenty three into twenty twenty four. 274 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 4: What you expected to arrive the following day? 275 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: Exactly right? At most two days later. At most two 276 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: days that's reason. But one day would be great, two 277 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: days you're okay with it? Well, I did not receive 278 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: the razor. I asked my wife to look it up 279 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: and see where it was, and she said, well, it 280 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: says it's not going to be delivered until the day 281 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: after the TV show. That's a razor burn situation. So 282 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: it was getting close to deadline day and I had 283 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: to do something I don't often do. I was starting 284 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: to look like Gandolf from Lord of the Rings, subs, 285 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: disheveled and all that. So I called an audible. Here 286 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: we go. Oh maha, oh maha, and I visited the 287 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: great Walmart, made a rare and appropriate midweek trip to 288 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: Walmart in a desperate attempt to buy a shaver a 289 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: razor to saving. That was my lucky day because, as 290 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: you know, the state we live in, there's a bunch 291 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: of animals vermin that steal everything that's not locked down. 292 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: So you go to the stores in California to shop, 293 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: and anything that's worth more than two dollars is behind 294 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: a glass case. So and the razors are all behind 295 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: a glass case. And then so they're locked away, and 296 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: then it's a pain in the ass. You got to 297 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: call somebody over to open the thing, and then they're busy, 298 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: and then they come over and then they want you 299 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: to pick what you want to get out of there. 300 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: But I'm a guy that likes to read the box. 301 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: I like to see what's you know, when I'm getting well. Fortunately, 302 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: I walk into the section of the pharmacy they're the razors, 303 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: and the lady at Walmart had the case open and 304 00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: she was putting stuff in there. So I was able 305 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: to use the analytics and I was able to take 306 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: my time and methodically read all the boxes, and mission accomplished. 307 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: A saved. I also saved a bunch of money because 308 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: the one I bought was much much more cost effective 309 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: than the one that had been ordered. So screw you Amazon. 310 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: That razor is going back, uh back back, back, back back. 311 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: It'll be going to an Amazon discount store near you. 312 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: You can buy an unused I mean open it unused. 313 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: It did show up, but I unused, so knock yourself out. 314 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 4: Uh. 315 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: And one other footnote, Now, after we got done taping 316 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: the TV show, UH, high tailed it. High tail that 317 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: out of there. Now. Typically this is the worst part, 318 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: the worst part of my week, Danny, is because I 319 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: don't usually sit in trap. You have to sit in 320 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: traffic because of your schedule with Colvino and Rich You're 321 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: in I would think pretty bad rush hour traffic most 322 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: of the time, right, yep, Yeah, it's terrible. I I 323 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: one of the great benefits of being on the race 324 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: d A ninety eight point five percent of the society 325 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 1: is sleeping, is there's usually not a lot of traffic. 326 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 1: You gotta avoid drunk drivers. That's the main obstacle, or roadwork. 327 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 1: Those are the two problems. So typically the worst part 328 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: of my week we do the TV show and then 329 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: I have to sit and rush hour traffic driving from 330 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 1: Universal Studios to the Northwoods. It normally takes forever. Now 331 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: I try to rationalize it, and I have music I'll 332 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: listen to to try to calm me down. I'll listen 333 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: to a podcast, or maybe I'll even sample some of 334 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: the old shows to make sure I sound somewhat decent. 335 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: But I mean Gridlin rush out bumper to bumper to 336 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:38,640 Speaker 1: bumper to bumper to bumper bump. 337 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 4: But not this week. 338 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: So many people either are not working, working remotely or 339 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: visiting family. They're not from LA. Most people aren't from 340 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: LA and they go somewhere where their family is. So 341 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: it was Moses like be partying not of the Red Sea, 342 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: the parting of the one oh one freeway and Interstate 343 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: five and all these other highways that I take smooth 344 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: sailing speed racer and looked just absolutely loved it. Didn't 345 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: have to spend any time in bumper to mumft traffic. 346 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: It was the way to go. So that was that 347 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: was Yeah. 348 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 3: You know on Christmas Eve we drove to Anaheim for Disneyland. 349 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's right. 350 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 3: That was the fastest trip I've ever had in a 351 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 3: car to get to Anaheim. We literally flew one hour. 352 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 3: Ben that's usually a three hour fiasco. 353 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and that what like Shohel Tani who goes 354 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: from the Angels to the Dodgers, he he lives kind 355 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 1: of near the Big A in Orange County, That's what 356 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: I've been told. So for him to play for the Dodgers, now, 357 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: they do leave kind of early to get to the ballpark, 358 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: but he's going to be in that traffic and it's 359 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: not three hours, but it's like two and a half 360 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: maybe for him. 361 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 4: He's got the helicopter after kind of money. 362 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: Be careful with those helicopters. But anyway, so as far 363 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: as Benny versus the Penny who, as Danny likes to say, 364 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: just check your local TV listings. I do have a 365 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: couple of times the flagship of Benny versus the Penning 366 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 1: in the Week seventeen episode with myself and Thomas Looney. 367 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: The hub is NBC Boston, NBC Sports Boston, and the 368 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: Celtics are playing tonight on Friday.

I believe it's might be Entry. 371 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: I don't matter what it is either way. Because of that, 372 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: we're going to be on a little later the debut 373 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: Maiden Voyage in Boston.

On 383 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: NBC Sports Philadelphia, it must not be a game on 384 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: We're in Chicago. We're on after the Blackhawks and the Stars. 385 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,479 Speaker 1: Little NHL action there will be on NBC Sports Boston 386 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: Benny versus the Penny. If you're in Chicago or that area. 387 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: It's also parts of Indiana, parts of Iowa, you get 388 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: NBC Sports Chicago. We'll be on there at ten pm 389 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: Central time. And in the Bay Area, got a couple 390 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 1: of showings on the Golden State Warriors channel and the 391 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: Giants channel there six pm and ten thirty pm on 392 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: NBC Sports Bay Area, so we've got that in.

And then we'll 396 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: be on a couple of times well, I think the Lakers. 397 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 1: I believe there's a Laker broadcast on Saturday, so we're 398 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: on a couple of times. Less in LA but we'll 399 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: be on at six am and then three pm in 400 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: La La Land on Spectrum Sports Net SoCal that's Danny's 401 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: favorite channel. And then on Sunday the usual slot. Every week. 402 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: We've had a very consistent I want to thank the 403 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 1: people that sn why the Mets station, because they give 404 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: us that time slot even if we don't deserve it, 405 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: even if there's seven people in the Tri State area watching, 406 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: they still give us that time slot eleven thirty AM. 407 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: So the way that works in New York, you watch 408 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: that and then you flip over to the network pregame. 409 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: You watch that, and then you flip over to the 410 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: network pregame that's on New. 411 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 4: Year's pre pregame. 412 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: Exactly. It's like the warm up act for the pregame. 413 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: I am such a radio loser. We do have the 414 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 1: word of the week. Are you ready for the word 415 00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: of the week? 416 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 4: What word of the week? 417 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 1: Now, you could argue this is more than one word. 418 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: You could make that argument, and I wouldn't probably disagree 419 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: with you. This more than one word, But I consider 420 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: it one word because this word goes with this word 421 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: all the time, especially this weekend. The word of the 422 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: week is more than one word. It's New Year's Eve, 423 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: not two's three for one special, the three for one special, 424 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: Danny g And obviously we know evening before the first 425 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,360 Speaker 1: day of the new year, which will be Sunday, Sunday, 426 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: Sunday Sunday. That phrase new Year's Eve goes back to 427 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: the thirteen hundreds, how about that? And I was reading 428 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: about this the Julian calendar began on January first, but 429 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: the Christian Church did not like that because they didn't 430 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: want the pagan celebrations evil pagans, and so they chose 431 00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: the feast of Anoxiation. I believe is how you say 432 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: March twenty fifth, as that was supposedly their New Year's 433 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: day the Christian Church. And then at some point they 434 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: changed it and they just the almanacs began on January first, 435 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: But it is you know, is concealed. If they had 436 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: gone the other direction, we would be celebrating New Year's 437 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: on March twenty fifth, which would be very bizarre considering 438 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: how you know, we've lived our lives. But the calendar 439 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: reform of seventeen fifty one restored the Julian New Year 440 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: in England, and the New Year's was the main midwinter 441 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: festival in Scotland in the seventeen hundreds, and so the 442 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: word or words of the week New Year's Eve goes 443 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: all the way back to the thirteen hundreds. But really 444 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 1: for calendar purposes, the modern calendar that we all keep 445 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: as men, women and children goes back to seventeen fifty one. 446 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,679 Speaker 1: And as far as gatherings, I know, in America. Here 447 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 1: everyone loves going to Times Square in New York and 448 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: freezing their ass off and watching the ball drop because 449 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: everyone loves balls dropping. Not the kind of balls I like. 450 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 4: Edited audios. 451 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: What that is wrong? But that started? New Year's Eve 452 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: gathering in public places began in eighteen seventy eight in 453 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: jolly old London Shout out Terry in England, and that 454 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: was after they installed the bells. The new bells were 455 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: installed in Saint Paul's and people were out there and 456 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: they celebrated at one am. What a bunch of rebels. 457 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: What a bunch of rebels. So anyway, word of the 458 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: week New Years Eve is the word of the week. 459 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 4: Words of the Words a week. 460 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: Couple of footy notes before we get out of here, Danny, 461 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: As you know, we're on a tight schedule. We have 462 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: a network clock unless we don't. So there were actually 463 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: some good food related stories, including burger King story out 464 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: this week in the food world which people a getting 465 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: all worked up at the fact that burger King giving 466 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: discounts to people. Did you see this with hangovers? They're 467 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 1: using facial recognition technology. 468 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 3: Oh I thought you had to blow into a breathalyzer 469 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 3: at the drive through. 470 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: It might as well, but I would argue that anyone 471 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: eating burger King at around one in the morning is 472 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: likely hungover, right, I mean, I'm just, you know, all 473 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: due respect to Burger King, I don't think they're an advertiser, 474 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: but the program they're testing this out, it's gonna run 475 00:25:55,560 --> 00:26:00,959 Speaker 1: until January second. And yeah, supposedly you going to Burger 476 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: King and the little frazzle there burger King in Brazil. 477 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: This is in Brazil. By the way, They announced that 478 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:13,360 Speaker 1: they will be using facial recognition technologies scan customers faces 479 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 1: to determine the degree of hangover detected and the size 480 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 1: of the recommended combo and discount offered to remedy said 481 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: hang on, So all right, well there you go.
