We start with a penny and 13 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: then we had a top five guests in George Nori, who, 14 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: by the way, Ben is the very first guest that 15 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: I've had asked me for questions in advance because he's 16 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: so old school. He's like you, he'll prepare an interview 17 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: even you gotta admire that. Yeah, I love George. It 18 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: was great to talk to him. It was It was 19 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: really surreal because I'm a fan and I've I've run 20 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: into him. We don't really know each other. I've run 21 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: into him a few times over the years at the 22 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: Premier Networks building, but his show starts before mine and 23 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: my show ends after his, and so we don't normally 24 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: run into each other. I actually end up parking near 25 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: George's car quite a bit in the in the lot, 26 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: and so I I see more of his car than 27 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: I see of him. But a few times we've run 28 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: into each other. I've done shows from across from the 29 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: Coast to Coast studio. In fact, when Fox Sports Radio 30 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: started years ago, the studio, the original studio we had, 31 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: which was a temporary studio, was right across the hall 32 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: from uh we had Jim Rome on one side and 33 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: Coast to Coast was on the other, and so back 34 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: back then Art Bell hosted Coast to Coast, but George 35 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: took over shortly after, and it was it was really 36 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: cool to talk to him. It's like it felt like 37 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: I was talking to the radio and the radio was 38 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: talking back to me. That was That was pretty neat. 39 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: And it's interesting because me and the other employees at FSR, 40 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: we know when you parked next to Nori because it 41 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,519 Speaker 1: looks like a Bentley dealership. Uh no, no, no, it's 42 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: what doesn't belong here? It's uh, there's a nice car 43 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: and then uh, both do it overnights. But one well 44 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: one thing stands out like a sore thumb. Which one 45 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: would that be? Anyway, let's get to Ohio. Here's the 46 00:02:44,520 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: mail back. Here we go. It's right, very good, right 47 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: to it we go, ch come back. Pay attention.

Is that part of 56 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: the negotiations with management. If so, it was a brilliant move. 57 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: I never heard any promotion before, and now you are 58 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: all over the place. Thank you. Keep up the great work. 59 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: That's from Pat in Medina, Ohio. Well, I was negotiating 60 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: with these suits at Fox, had several meetings, email correspondence, 61 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: phone calls by my own agent.

I'd not per se, 66 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: you know. I didn't say, hey, the I heart feet, 67 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: you gotta put more promos than anything like that. But 68 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: I I just wanted to make sure that the Overnight 69 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: show was not ignored, and I wanted to make sure 70 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 1: that we got the proper credit because we we have 71 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: four hours of real estate and we're all one big, 72 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: happy family, and let's be honest about it, Ben, They 73 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: weren't sure if they were gonna whack you or not. 74 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: They were on the fence, and then once they decided, 75 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: all right, let's resign this guy, then then they could 76 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: like put your promos in place. Well that could actually 77 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: you could be honest something because they were all, you know, 78 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: there was a chance I wasn't gonna stay. I mean, 79 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: there were other people that were interested in me. So 80 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: I didn't want to leave. I never really want to leave. 81 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: But it's one of those things where, yeah, you don't know, 82 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,679 Speaker 1: maybe maybe it goes somewhere else, and whatever the case, 83 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: I'm glad you've been listening all these years.

Secondly, what the 99 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: hell happened to Helen and Stu? Spectively, Pierre, who writes in, Well, 100 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,799 Speaker 1: that's a great question. I hope they're okay. I genuinely 101 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: hope Helen and Stewart okay. These two emailed every week 102 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: for many, many months. Maybe even like a year. We 103 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: heard from them every so off and then all of 104 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: a sudden, boom goes to dynamite is exited stage right. 105 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: And I have noticed on this podcast we have had 106 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: people who have been big fans of the podcast listen 107 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 1: every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and then they like vanish right, 108 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: They just like they move away. Like for example, here's 109 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: another one. I don't know if you remember this, Pierre. 110 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: Before Danny g was part of the podcast, we had 111 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: Kentucky Tay and Jay. This this really cool couple. They 112 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: sent me a Hilltoppers hat from from Kentucky that's in 113 00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: my had collection fans of the show. They had had 114 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: a young family and they would email questions every week, 115 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: and I don't think I've heard from them since the 116 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: end of and we're we're getting, you know, closer and 117 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: closer to the end of two. Like they just they 118 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: went away. I'm a Pilot also another one who was 119 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: regular in the mail bag. Yeah, I think it was Guest. 120 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: It was one of his burner accounts. Yeah. Is it 121 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: just a coincidence that I'm a Pilot stopped emailing as 122 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: soon as Guest Gone left the show? Things that make 123 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: you go um. But as far as to answer your question, 124 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: I do not see coach player entertainment coming back, although 125 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: because I like the Mallard Militia feud, it's more fun 126 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: when we get good contestants, which is rare. Uh. I 127 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: could see the word of the week on the podcast, though. 128 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: We could bring the word of the week to the 129 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: podcast where I word or phrase of the week, where 130 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: I explained the origins. I love the origins of words 131 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: and phrases, and so I can certainly see that on 132 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: the podcast on Saturday at some point down the line. Uh. 133 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: Doing that, things are kind of jumbled right now with 134 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: Benny versus the penny being on the podcast. We'll see 135 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: if it stays on the podcast for the long haul. 136 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: Who knows what's gonna happen with that. It might move 137 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: somewhere else. All right, Let's keep going on the mail. 138 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: Mail Mail. These are actual letters by actual listeners, and 139 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: it's like a boxing match. We're boxing the mail. Unless 140 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: we are not boxing the mail. But let's see, I 141 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: got mail, yea, I got mail yea very from Nashville. 142 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: Right soon, he says, yo yo, Mom. Benny and Danny 143 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: g when you do trivia on terrestrial radio. You say 144 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: I cannot read that on the radio. Have you ever 145 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: thought about taking those responses you can't read on radio 146 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: and bringing them over to a segment on the Real 147 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: fifth Hour. It would be awesome to hear some of 148 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: those responses, Barry. I've been asked this a lot of 149 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: Lane jokes, the really offensive Lane jokes people have been 150 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,239 Speaker 1: saying to them on the podcast, to him on the podcast. 151 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: I think we've talked about this, Danny though. The problem 152 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: with the podcast it's a blessing and a curse. We 153 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: are allowed to do X rated content and taboo stuff 154 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: on the podcast. He blew me off at a hotel 155 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: near l a X. Okay, come down. It also is 156 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: out there forever, and it's like somebody, some wokesters could 157 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: go down the line, could listen to a podcast where 158 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: we say stuff that's tremendously offensive and then use that 159 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: against us. You know what I'm saying, Nanny, Well, I 160 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: would like to say those wokesters right now they would 161 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: have to find this and be like, oh my god, 162 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: seventeen minutes and that podcast, did you hear what he 163 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: said about me? You're exactly right, though, you have to 164 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: be careful what you leave out there for the world 165 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: to consume. Yeah, and I have heard stories where people 166 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: have gotten in trouble, like lost jobs for stuff they 167 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 1: said they were just goofing around the podcast. And the 168 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: the people who have something shoved up where the sun 169 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: don't shine heard it and got all bent out of 170 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: shape and all that, and so some of some of 171 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,839 Speaker 1: the stuff I would put on. But we gotta pick 172 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: our spots, Danny, right, I gotta pick our spots. Yeah, 173 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: and I and I it's not like we hold back 174 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 1: a whole bunch on this podcast. We we speak our 175 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: minds from time to time. Brian bill Brian Billick. Plus 176 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: the other thing is a lot of that, the the answers. 177 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: It's really funny in the mall out of context. I 178 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: don't think it would be funny like people are reacting 179 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: the stuff that I said or question and well, you'd 180 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: have to take a screenshot too, and then yeah, you'd 181 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 1: be going back to like twenty different screenshots and you're right, 182 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: you'd have to set everything up. It would take way 183 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 1: too long. Yeah, Opinony behind you've got mail Mike from 184 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: Fullerton Rights, and he says, I assume this is just 185 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: about the easiest time of the year to come up 186 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: with topics for your Malard monologues. So when is the 187 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: hardest time of the year? And for Danny G when 188 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: is the easiest and hardest part of the school year? Uh? 189 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: For you? So I'll go first here, Mike, Really, no 190 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: hard time, and I don't think there will ever be 191 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: a hard time again. There were points in my career 192 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: back in the Stone Age when I started long ago, 193 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: before the internet really got going, where there were some 194 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: days where we were really scratching and clawn and trying 195 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: to find things to talk about. But in the age 196 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: of the Internet, in the age of the twenty four 197 00:11:54,880 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: hours sports television, sports radio formats, there's billions of dollars 198 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: on the line. There's TV shows and radio shows looking 199 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: for content every day. And so it's kind of like 200 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 1: the way I look at meat, cut that meat. You know, 201 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 1: there's different grades of meat you can get, uh know, 202 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: different cuts of meat, different qualities of meat. And there 203 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: are times, usually I would say June July, where it 204 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: can can be a little slow, can be a little slow, 205 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: and you you have to be more creative. But those 206 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 1: are often the most fun times of the year, Danny, 207 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: because then we have the artistic freedom. Anybody can do 208 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: sports radio when there's a million NFL stories, and but 209 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: where you really earn your money is when there's not 210 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: a lot going on, if you can hold the audience, 211 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: and so that I like the challenge of that, although 212 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: I wouldn't like to do that year round, but it's 213 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: good for a few months of the year. It keeps 214 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: you on your toes. And as far as the teaching game, 215 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,959 Speaker 1: Danny was it easier, harder? How does that work as 216 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: at the same year round? I would say the kids 217 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: are at their worst right before the Christmas break because 218 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: they smell some freedom coming up. At that point, they've 219 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: been in school long enough to be really sick of it. 220 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: I'm thinking back to last school year, and I remember 221 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 1: the week leading up to the Christmas break principle and 222 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: the dean, we're just doing that face palm and rubbing 223 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: their eyes a lot, and there were there was a 224 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: line of kids in the office waiting to go into 225 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: their offices to have little pow wows because there was 226 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: a lot of misbehaving going on. And I remember one 227 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: of the gym teachers telling me, these fucking kids can't 228 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 1: wait to get out of here. They should have just 229 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: let them go a week ago. So that's that's probably 230 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: the most difficult part of the school year, right there. Yeah, 231 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: And that must be some kind of primal thing that 232 00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: we all are wired with, because even as a dull, 233 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: it's like right before you go on a vacation or 234 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: you have a long weekend, let's just say not a 235 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: lot of stuff gets done in a timely manner, usually 236 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: the last day, or in the office, or you're in 237 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: the radio station. You know things. You got one foot 238 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 1: out the door, right you're you're you're you're thinking about 239 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: something else. All right, Now, next up on the mail bag. 240 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: As we bounce around and around and around, all come back, 241 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: it's time for call. Nick in Wisconsin writes, and he says, 242 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: Ben and Danny g going back to last week. Next 243 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: time Danny gets flowers from Trader Joe's, he should tell 244 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: the cash year they are for someone special and say himself, 245 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: because no one ever buys him flowers. There you go, there, 246 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: you can say that, just to see the reaction, He says. 247 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: The question is how often do both of you guys 248 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: by your significant other flowers or a gift randomly? That's 249 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: from Nick in Wisconsin. So yeah, everyone, So I don't 250 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: do it enough, and yeah, I've been married for a 251 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: while now, so I should. Uh. But we we try 252 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: to take care of each other as much as we can. 253 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: My wife's very good about that and I I make 254 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: the effort in different ways. But I and I used 255 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: to get flowers quite a bit. You know what turned 256 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: me off to the flower thing. I've never been a 257 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: big fan of buying flowers because you're buying something that 258 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: you know is going to be bad within a couple 259 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: of days. And that always bothers me. It's like a 260 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: total waste of money. But I know, you know your 261 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: your lady likes the flowers, so you get the flowers. 262 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: But when we were selling the old Mallard mansion, we 263 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: were showing the house. We had people coming over, potential 264 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: buyers and real estate agents, and my wife was very 265 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: good at staging the house. But one way you stage 266 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: the house is you get flowers, fresh flowers. People who 267 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: buy houses love the smell of the flowers. Not so 268 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: we were buying flowers for the house was on the 269 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: market for a couple of months. Every week we were 270 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: buying flowers. I was I was a traitor Joe's buying 271 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: flowers every week, and I was like, oh man, what 272 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: a pain. So we kind of got all the flowers 273 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: we needed in that period of time a couple of 274 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: years ago. And that's that. But what about you, Danny, 275 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: I will give you a tender n e tip instead 276 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: of flowers that die off, get your girl some succulents, gigy. 277 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: That is the way to go, because the ice plants 278 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: or the desert plants come in cool little vases usually, 279 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: and nowadays there's some creativity. Like the last one I 280 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: brought home to my girl was a nice color blue 281 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: and it was a ceramic shark had a cool succulent 282 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: in it. And so that's the way to go, because 283 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, my my chick, like all others, like flowers. 284 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: But then you know, they wind up wilting, and unless 285 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: the girl is first with you, she's not going to 286 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: dry out the flowers and save them. You give them 287 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: the succulents though, and they can have them in their 288 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: apartment or their house for years. That is the way 289 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: to go, right there. Yeah, that's a good move. And 290 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: you know my move when I was dating, and it's 291 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: probably the reason I was single for so long. As 292 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: I've told this before, but on Valentine's Day I always 293 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: had to work through radio, and so I'd be like, 294 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: all right, let's meet like a day after two days 295 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: after Valentine's Day. Everything was half off, the flowers, the candies, 296 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: all that stuff. So I buy flowers. That's why I 297 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: buy flowers, because they were half off. I was like, 298 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: all right, that's half off. They're gonna die anyway, That's 299 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: all right, that's the move. I am such a radio loser, 300 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: all right, next time I got mail? Yeah, I got mail. Yeah. Rights, 301 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: And he says, big Ben, have you ever thought about 302 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: putting a best of the Bits fifth hour? I know 303 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: it would be hard to narrow it down, but I 304 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: would love to hear the famous hollering James game show 305 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: while sleeping. But that was an amazing, amazing night a 306 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 1: radio and some Marcel and Blair in the octagon and 307 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: even that that feeling guy singing karaoke. My name is Luca. 308 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: There are so many good ones the show on the show. 309 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: Thanks us from Jay. Uh. Yeah, well, we we have 310 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 1: done some. They call them bank shows or evergreen shows. 311 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: You you did a great job, Danny. When I was 312 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: I think it was was a traveling was that when 313 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: I was in North Carolina on the family trip for 314 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: the wedding, and you did a wonderful job on that. 315 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 1: And we do have a lot of material. It takes 316 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: a long time though to go through all that stuff. 317 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: But we could have a couple of of shows I 318 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 1: guess ready to go, just in case, right, and have 319 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: those ready to go. But that that hollering James game show, 320 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: I would like to hear again myself. That was one 321 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,719 Speaker 1: of the craziest it's got to be the craziest moments 322 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: happened in the history of the show. The guy was 323 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: fast asleep Danny, and we were acing his answers based 324 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: on whether he snored or not. If he snored, it 325 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: was too much. If he didn't store, it was not enough. 326 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 1: He handed God, he won the game. We didn't doctor it, 327 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: We didn't play with it at all. He won the game. 328 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: Do you know what months that was? What month? What 329 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: year that was? No? I think that was I want 330 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: to say that was during the COVID time. Um it was. 331 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 1: It wasn't a year end show. Um. If you talked 332 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: to Coop he might know kind of the rough, rough 333 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: point of time, but it was it was crazy, man. 334 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 1: It was one of the zaniest things that I've had 335 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,959 Speaker 1: since I've been here, and there's been some crazy stuff, 336 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 1: crazy stuff. When Genie and Medford started rapping, doing gangster 337 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: rap all of a sudden, that was one of the 338 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: craziest nights. Uh. When she started yelling at Pete and 339 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and sounded like a different person, it was. It was, Yeah, 340 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: she was speaking in tons. And then of course when 341 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: she was having the part again Medford and You're like, 342 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 1: there's a party in Medford. Oh. Yeah, she's passed the 343 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: phone to her. She had a boyfriend there, Yeah, you 344 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: had a raggedy boyfriend there. She passes the phone to him, 345 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: and Cooper's in the background going, that's Joe, and he says, Hi, 346 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 1: I like to saint. Yes, yes, that was funny. It 347 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 1: was your viral version.

Yes, yes, that famous 349 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: TV moment, that's funny totals. Well, Jane, we will consider that, 350 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,719 Speaker 1: and you never know, we may surprise it coming up. 351 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: It will be the holiday season before you know it. 352 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 1: Here we go, all right. Next up is Kevin in Kansas. 353 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: He says, dear Big Bend and Danny G. Danny G. 354 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,719 Speaker 1: I remember a Clay Travis show where Jason Martin couldn't 355 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 1: get to work because of an ice storm and Clay 356 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: busted him for the next three hours. Have either of 357 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: you had to drive to work in treacherous conditions? To 358 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: you ever get ribbed for missing work for a legitimate reason? 359 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: All right, so I'll go first. Now, being in l A, 360 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: we have not had really bad when we get really 361 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: nasty rainstorms every once in a while, but they're not 362 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: like Northeastern rainstorms or Midwestern rainstorms or Southern rainstorms. So 363 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: it's a different animal. In California, with once in a 364 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,439 Speaker 1: blue moon, they'll get some really bad weather. Uh, that 365 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 1: will be legitimately bad weather. I've been late a few 366 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: times over the years. I had a flat tire. I 367 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 1: got a ticket one time when I was doing local radio. 368 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: This is really embarrassing. We had studios in Burbank, I 369 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: was living in Orange County, and I had a set, 370 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 1: had a Friday night show, got off at like one 371 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: in the morning, had a quick turnaround, had to come back. 372 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: The show started like seven or eight in the morning, 373 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: and so as I was telling my mom, I'm like 374 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: I don't and I don't sleep well, I'm concerned. She's 375 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 1: I'll just get a hotel room. So I got a 376 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: hotel room, cheap hotel in Burbank, and I went to 377 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 1: you know, went to bed, and I was all excited, 378 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 1: You're gonna do the show. And I slept. I overslept 379 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: by an hour and I showed up late and all 380 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: I freaking out. I'm like, oh man, I'm gonna, you know, 381 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: lose my job. And I was doing the Ben and 382 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: Dave show and I parked in a lot right near 383 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: Warner Brothers and I get out of the car and 384 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: I'm like hustling into the in the studio, into the station, 385 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 1: and right next to me is the guy I did 386 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: the show with, Dave Smith, who was also late, who 387 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: was also late by an hour. So I was like, 388 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: all right, there you go. I don't feel bad anymore. 389 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 1: I don't feel bad anymore. And one time that the 390 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: station Fox Sports Radio actually got me a hotel room 391 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: right near the studios in Sherman Oaks where Jay Scoop 392 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: stayed because of Karma Geddon. Remember Karma Geddon. Yeah, they 393 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 1: were very concerned that I wouldn't be able to make 394 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: it to work, and so all the people it had 395 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 1: shows on the weekends when the freeway was closed, they 396 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: got us hotel rooms. And I was I was sitting 397 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 1: in my hotel room. I was looking at the four 398 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: or five freeway being shut you shut down, but there 399 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: was no traffic. It was like there was no traffic anywhere. 400 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: I could have easily just stayed home. But anyway, what 401 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: about you, Danny, any traffic related. That's a beautiful part 402 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: of Sherman Oaks. So that's probably the last time you 403 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: had hookers in cocaine anything you want on Ventura Boulevard. 404 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: There's a reason there's a lot of songs mentioned in 405 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 1: vent Thor Boulevard. A bunch of hookers and cocaine. There's 406 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff happening over there. Yeah, And I 407 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 1: wanted to mention about Jason Martin. That was a memorable 408 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: episode about Kick because he couldn't drive in because snow 409 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: was coming down there in Nashville. The reason he told 410 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: Clay he couldn't see out his windshield was because it 411 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 1: was an opaque color. What he got the best laugh 412 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 1: out of that, So Clay dubbed it opaque Gate. Yeah. Yeah, 413 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: So listeners still will mention that to this day. Hey man, 414 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: I remember opaque Gate and we still bust Jason's balls 415 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: about that. Um, you know the only thing that comes 416 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: to mind, And I've talked about it before briefly on 417 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: this podcast. During the COVID Lockdown, I got pulled over 418 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: by Burbank p D. And they thought I was a 419 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 1: drunk driver for sure, And the female cop who first 420 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: pulled me over said she didn't like the look in 421 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: my eyes. Wow, did you have to do the walk? 422 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: The the and do the alphabet and all that? Yeah, 423 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: I had to do the walk. They didn't make me 424 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: do the alphabet, but I had to do the walk. 425 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: A couple of backup officers showed up. One was a 426 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: fan of petros and money, so he understood why I 427 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 1: was in a hurry to get to the studios. Clay 428 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: had a lot of fun with it on the air talk. 429 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,239 Speaker 1: And then the last officer who showed up was a 430 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 1: female and she asked for my phone number before I left. 431 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: Really took my digits. Wow, look at that. Did she 432 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: call you? Uh? No, never got a call from her. 433 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 1: But she was a really pretty Latina officer and she 434 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: was like standing there talking with me like we were 435 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: at a nightclub before I left, So the first officer 436 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 1: basically told me I had a lazy eye, and then 437 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: the second female wanted my number. It was very hit 438 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: and missed that night man. But that wonder why she 439 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: didn't call you. I don't know. She's worried she getting 440 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: trouble at work or something like that. It is probably 441 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: not good I did. One of the other officers probably 442 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: caught her doing that on their on their cam. Yes, 443 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: you've gotta be careful on that. You want to lose 444 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 1: your job over trying to get a date, all right? 445 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: Next up on the mail bag, come back, it's side 446 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: from call our friend Jennifer from Richmond, Virginia.

Uh, 459 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,919 Speaker 1: you gotta remember that was an important night of radio 460 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 1: Jennifer and Danny. That was the night I was doing 461 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: a monologue phrasing the Seahawks for not extending Russell Wilson 462 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: because the deadline was at midnight on the West Coast 463 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: my show at the beginning of the show's at eleven o'clock, 464 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 1: and by the end of the monologue it had been 465 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: announced by Adam Schefter that Russell Wilson had a contract. 466 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: And then we saw we saw what he said on Twitter, 467 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: and I was like, crap, he's unlimited, man, is it true? 468 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: Do you agree with this statement? Russell Wilson is the 469 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 1: corny ist quarterback in all of sports, or the I 470 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: should say, the corny ist athlete in all of sports. 471 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: He's just a big nerd. But it's like he's trying 472 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 1: too hard. Yeah, he is like Carlton from Fresh Prince 473 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 1: of bel Air, trying to be easy. Hey, speaking of 474 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. So let me play this audio. This is 475 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll after the Monday night game. He's talking on 476 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 1: Seattle radio to the media. And listen to him explain 477 00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: to the Raiders, the Chargers and the Chiefs and anyone 478 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: else that plays the Broncos what you need to do 479 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 1: if you want to own Russell Wilson. Let's go to 480 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 1: the audio tape. Yeah, really, the we really were focused 481 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: in on on Russ's play with our pass rush and 482 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: and that's really the way to play him. You can 483 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: move him and you can make him go. I think 484 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 1: he moved ten times and he completed two passes on 485 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 1: the times we moved him out of the pocket and 486 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 1: moved moved him around like we were trying to. It's 487 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: really hard. It's it's a hard dynamic to so many 488 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: factors in there, but we're trying to push them in directions. 489 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: And when you do, it's hard for me to hear. 490 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: When I think of Russell Wilson, I think one of 491 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: the great passers on the run, and you're saying the 492 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: key is to get him to run alot. Yeah, we moves, 493 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: we moves to his left. It's it's hard for him, 494 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: you know, and in numbers wise and all that. So 495 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: we we just we were able to do some stuff 496 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: and and uh it wasn't perfect at all, but it 497 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: was but it was effective and we felt like we 498 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: were controlling it. And so, uh, it wasn't always just 499 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: getting clean to get the sack, was to try and 500 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: make him go where we wanted to go. And guys 501 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: did a good job. We could do better. I'd like 502 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: another shot at that that game pign you know, to 503 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: see if we can just just clean it up. But 504 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: it was a really really good job by by Clinton 505 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: in his guys, and uh, just a thrilling effort by 506 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: the guys too to do what they did. Done with 507 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: the in the red zone and done with the goal, 508 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: and it was incredible. Isn't that a crazy sound bite? 509 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: That's wild. He doesn't he doesn't throw well, moving him 510 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: go to his left. That's like an NBA player Danny, 511 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: who can only go to his right right. If you 512 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: make him dribble the other way, he's gonna turn the 513 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: ball over, throw it away. That's wild to me that 514 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: he said that crazy dog vomit if you push him 515 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: to the left. Wow. Anyway, so Jennifer I don't think 516 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:51,719 Speaker 1: we'll be able to delete the audio, but I will 517 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: make an effort. I'll tell Roberto and Danny if you 518 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: wanted to, that's good audio though, right, I mean we 519 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: we can play it every once, So how about we playing? 520 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, Roberto, it's who she's worried about. I 521 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't want to hear his voice on this podcast unless 522 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: it was something funny where we were busting his balls. 523 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,239 Speaker 1: But as far as a drop sounding cool, that's not 524 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. No, not cool is not in his game, 525 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: all right? Next up is Big Greg in Iowa. Says Hey, 526 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: dear Ben and Danny G. Ben, since you have the 527 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: game shows mixed into your show throughout the week, if 528 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: Danny G and yourself were to each make a three 529 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: person team to do a trivia competition and could only 530 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: choose four for members of the Mallard Militia, the trivia 531 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: would involve twelve questions of random categories from pop culture, 532 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: the history to sports. Who would each of you choose 533 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,479 Speaker 1: from your team and why? He also says Ben, if 534 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: you were to choose Justin in Cincinnati, you would lift 535 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: the band from the game shows. It's Big Greg in Iowa. 536 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: Thank for your time, he says, we're applied of you, 537 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: Big Greg. So I would not pick Justin in Cincinnati. 538 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: Justin lost his trivia mojo and he also lost credibility 539 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: on the game. The first pick would have to be 540 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: Uncle Mo from Brooklyn who Uncle Mo is a machine 541 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: at sports trivia of him. This guy's like rain Man, 542 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: unbelievable with the sports trivia. So he'd be the first pick. 543 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: My buddy in Maine would be the second pick. The 544 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: third pick, there's like four or five different ways I 545 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: can go on the third pick. I might take a 546 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: pop culture person, might go off the grid, not a 547 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,959 Speaker 1: normal type person on the on the game. Anybody popping 548 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: your head there, Danny G I think a few people. 549 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: Who would you pick? Who is our friend from Fremont? 550 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: Oh Andrew from Free, California. To block for Andrew, I 551 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: would have Doc, Mike and Dick and Dayton as his 552 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: old lineman just for the imidation factor, and then I 553 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: would let Andrew in Fremont run the ball to the 554 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: goal line. Oh man, Andrew's really good. It's he's you know, 555 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 1: he's kind of like Russell Wilson and that he's great 556 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: when you're talking baseball. But if you make him go 557 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 1: left and talk about football or certain NBA people, he 558 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: has nothing. He's got nothing. What's wonderful? And I don't 559 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: know if I'm sharing a secret I shouldn't, but Jonas 560 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 1: Knocks used to call into our show a lot and 561 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: he would impersonate Andrew in Fremont. In fact that I 562 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: think I have a drop of him doing that right here, 563 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: syndosing that, and we would die laughing because it was 564 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: spot on and a lot of people thought it was 565 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: Andrew when in fact it was Jonas. Yeah. And the 566 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 1: funniest was we we had Andrew. I think you were 567 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: there when Andrew came in the studio and he was 568 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: with his parents, you know, and all that. Normally, and 569 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: I'm I'm not bragging, but normally, when people coming to 570 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: the radio station is a special thing. Not everyone gets 571 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: to do it, and we're not really supposed to have 572 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: a lot of people visit us, and so there's only 573 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: a select few group of people that get to go 574 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: to the radio station. And so, yeah, you have to 575 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 1: fill out a fat cells info form. Yeah, yeah, you 576 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: have to have credit and all that. But normally what 577 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: happens is people are are very polite and kind and 578 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: and really thrilled to be there. Andrew was like, I've 579 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: been at the station in the Bay Area and it's better, 580 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 1: you know, It's like they had better microphones. I was like, 581 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: what are you doing. You gotta be joking. I'm like, 582 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: what do you what? What? What hutzpuff for? Andrew? You 583 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 1: guys call yourself the l a market. That's great. What 584 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: kind of control board is that they were knowing the 585 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 1: monitor might burn up? You never never know, never never know. 586 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: All right, we have time for a few more. It 587 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: is the mail bag.

And the 612 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,240 Speaker 1: most valuable currency we all have is our time, Danny, 613 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: and we're dedicating our time to this and so we'll 614 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:37,919 Speaker 1: keep it going. And next up, all right, listener Joe 615 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 1: in New York writes, and he says, Benn and Danny, 616 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 1: g what is a huge hit in our society that 617 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 1: really annoys you? Uh, that's get kind of an open 618 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: ended generic question, Joe. But I guess the thing that 619 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: pops into my head here and I'll let Danny go 620 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,280 Speaker 1: after me, is the thing that has changed a lot 621 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: in recent is that seems to be very popular. It 622 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:07,399 Speaker 1: really bothers me, is celebrating victimhood. I don't like that. 623 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 1: I was not raised that way. I was not, you know, 624 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 1: raised with that approach to life. And it seems like 625 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 1: so many people want to be the victim, loved to 626 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 1: play the victim card and love they get clout that 627 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 1: way on social media, and that just that's a bad thing. 628 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 1: That's a flaw that I would like to see flip 629 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,839 Speaker 1: back around. But it is a hit in society. It's 630 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 1: very popular, so many people are doing it. Seems like 631 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: younger and younger people love to be the victim and 632 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,319 Speaker 1: and get all that attention and all that. So that 633 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 1: really annoys me. Anything in society is that's popular or 634 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:44,720 Speaker 1: a hit. As Joe says here, that you're you're not 635 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,840 Speaker 1: happy with that. It bothers you. Did you see the 636 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 1: news story recently about the inmate who claimed he was 637 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,320 Speaker 1: chained up and forced to listen to that Baby Shark song. 638 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: I don't think I saw that one. Now. I guess 639 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: he was trying to drop some lawsuit and it turns 640 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 1: out he was actually killed and Jaiy died in jail. 641 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,880 Speaker 1: I should say. And so now there's some conspiracy theories 642 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,400 Speaker 1: out there. Can you imagine being forced to listen to 643 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:16,280 Speaker 1: that baby shark crap for an hour on a loop? 644 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 1: I think it would drive you mental. Yeah, that would 645 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,880 Speaker 1: not be because every few years there's a song like that. 646 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 1: That's yeah, it's played in the ground. Remember was it 647 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 1: Jerry Seinfeld the last like ten days that was complaining. 648 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 1: He was upset with Timmy trumpet and he's he compared 649 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: it to when the Mets were in the World Series, 650 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,759 Speaker 1: and I think it was who let the Dogs Out? 651 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,239 Speaker 1: Was that the song that was? It was some kind 652 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,799 Speaker 1: of weird thing the ground screw was doing back like 653 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 1: in two thousands, so twenty two years ago. Whatever the 654 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 1: I forget what the song wasn't. I'm sure someone will 655 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,279 Speaker 1: email us and let us know. But it was some 656 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 1: viral song like that, and seinfeldt was all upset. Anyway, 657 00:37:55,800 --> 00:38:00,359 Speaker 1: Let's do the Dogs out? That was the Mets theme 658 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:04,799 Speaker 1: song throughout the two thousand postseason. Yeah, that was. Seinfeld 659 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 1: was triggered by that, and that was you know, it 660 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 1: was the last time you hear that song? You well, 661 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,960 Speaker 1: they still play it at stadiums. It's interesting because there's 662 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:19,720 Speaker 1: those ESPN jock jams that still get played thirty years later, 663 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 1: and that no matter how brand new the stadium is, 664 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 1: sometimes they just refused to switch up the music. Yeah, 665 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 1: you gotta keep up with the times, right, you gotta 666 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,399 Speaker 1: keep up with the times. And yeah, I mean, there's 667 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,520 Speaker 1: some classics that will never die. But there's also some 668 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,359 Speaker 1: songs that were just good in the moment back then, 669 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 1: and we should let some of them rest. There are 670 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 1: some old songs I hear and I can close my 671 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,879 Speaker 1: eyes and imagine watching the Clippers or Lakers run out 672 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,080 Speaker 1: to warm up before the game, because they would play 673 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 1: it as their their warm up music when I was 674 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: covering basketball all the time. And I or I can 675 00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 1: envision cheerleaders dancing to that particular song, which hasn't been 676 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: played in years. All right, we got time for like 677 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 1: two more quick ones. Jr. From Arkansas Rights and he says, 678 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 1: Ben and Danny g why does the American media obsessed 679 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 1: over the queen's death. It's on every cable news channel. Um, well, Jr. 680 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 1: You're probably watching too much cable news. That's number one. 681 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 1: Number two. I don't know, Danny, I'm not that interested 682 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:28,279 Speaker 1: in it. No, disrespect of the queen. It's it's it 683 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 1: really has kind of become like weekend at Bernie's at 684 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 1: this point, with all the ceremonies and all that. I 685 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 1: get it. It's tradition and that's part of their culture, 686 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 1: but it's not part of our culture. And it does 687 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 1: seem odd to me that the American media is obsessed 688 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 1: with it. It must get ratings. I guess that that's 689 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 1: gotta be it, Danny. We we don't do things in 690 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,799 Speaker 1: media companies unless it gets ratings. That has to be 691 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 1: the reason, right, I guess I'll admit I'll admit it 692 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:59,959 Speaker 1: on the podcast I Killed the Queen, Danny. They're gonna 693 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:05,360 Speaker 1: come and get you about the coast are coming. About 694 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 1: two weeks prior to her death, we had a Spectrum 695 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,720 Speaker 1: news channel on in the background and some random story 696 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 1: about the queen and the family came on the TV 697 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 1: screen and I turned and looked at my girl and 698 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:22,600 Speaker 1: I said, she's still alive. I didn't know. And if 699 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 1: we're not into that here in our country, most of 700 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,200 Speaker 1: us don't give a shit about that stuff over there 701 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 1: with royalty and all that. That's not how we roll. 702 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,000 Speaker 1: So then when the news broke that she really did die. 703 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 1: My TINDERRONI looked at me and she was like, you 704 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 1: know you killed her? Right? You talked it into Yeah, 705 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 1: well not a lot of points if you do a 706 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,319 Speaker 1: Google pool a death pool. Only four points, right, because 707 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 1: she was ninety. How about Marcel when he called up 708 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,720 Speaker 1: and started crying, he was a ball of tears. Here. Wow, 709 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,719 Speaker 1: the queen's passing and that was odd. Alright, last one 710 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,640 Speaker 1: we'll get out on this j from l a Van Eyes, 711 00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 1: not far away from where we do the shows from. 712 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 1: He says, if an alien spacecraft landed here from another planet, Oh, 713 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 1: George Nor, question, this sounds like a Nori quote. You 714 00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 1: should have sent this to George Nor, you idiot? What's 715 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,320 Speaker 1: wrong with you? Jay? Anyway, but thanks for downloing the podcast. 716 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,160 Speaker 1: He says, if an alien craft landed here from another 717 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 1: planet on Earth and they laid out a feast of 718 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:30,399 Speaker 1: their food and their beverage, would you eat it? And 719 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 1: how do you imagine it might taste? All? Right? So 720 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,480 Speaker 1: fuck no, I'm not eating it, Okay, I'll let I'll 721 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 1: let somebody else eat it. And I can't imagine. I 722 00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:45,560 Speaker 1: don't know what it tast I mean, I would hope 723 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,879 Speaker 1: it would taste like stuff on this planet. I kind 724 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:51,359 Speaker 1: of think everything in the universe is it's all made 725 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,839 Speaker 1: up of the same stuff, right, I mean, like, I'm 726 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,319 Speaker 1: sure there's probably. In fact, we talked to George Norri 727 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 1: about this and how vast spaces and all that and 728 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,400 Speaker 1: the math on that that. You know, people think this 729 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,840 Speaker 1: is just like an Earth is an accident. There's probably 730 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 1: a lot of other accidents that are just like Earth. 731 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 1: So if that's true, their food would be just like 732 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:15,160 Speaker 1: our food, I would think are close to What about you, Danny? 733 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:19,240 Speaker 1: Would you eat alien food if they visited and offered 734 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:23,719 Speaker 1: as a an olive branch between civilizations? Would you eat it? 735 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 1: I might try it if it looked tasty. Right now, 736 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,479 Speaker 1: I'm reading the Hunger Games books. I know they're old now, 737 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:35,719 Speaker 1: but I never read those. I want my chicken, So 738 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,520 Speaker 1: I picked up a Hunger Games book. I'm on the 739 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,600 Speaker 1: second one now, and it's not an alien thing. But 740 00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,640 Speaker 1: it's way in the future where the story is set, 741 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:49,080 Speaker 1: and she keeps describing the food like futuristic dishes, and 742 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,080 Speaker 1: it sounds pretty good, like I would feast on it. 743 00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:55,239 Speaker 1: It look good, Ben, and it smelled good. Why not 744 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 1: try it. You only live once. Yeah. Well, George Nori 745 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,400 Speaker 1: also pointed out, and if you hadn't heard the Nori interview, 746 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,520 Speaker 1: I recommend listening to it. But he pointed out that 747 00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:08,319 Speaker 1: you know how how old the universe it is, and 748 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,320 Speaker 1: you know, we were a relatively new civilization they believe 749 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,480 Speaker 1: based on what science has figured out. So if there's 750 00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 1: civilizations that are that are older than us, have been 751 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,400 Speaker 1: around longer than us, Like, think how much better food 752 00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,879 Speaker 1: is today than what people were eating two hundred years 753 00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 1: ago or three years ago, like with all the spices, 754 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:33,319 Speaker 1: Like there was a time when salt, the use of 755 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,720 Speaker 1: salt changed the way people ate because they were able 756 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:40,480 Speaker 1: to keep things longer. And that term you're worth your 757 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:44,400 Speaker 1: weight in salt is because salt was so valuable pepper. 758 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:50,360 Speaker 1: When pepper became used by mainstream society, that became a 759 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,520 Speaker 1: big deal. They can think about how where we came 760 00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,480 Speaker 1: from that to now we we have YouTube channels on 761 00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:59,960 Speaker 1: cooking and we can make all this crazy, crazy can 762 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,279 Speaker 1: auctions in our kitchen that would have blown people. And 763 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,319 Speaker 1: just imagine what that's gonna be like if people are 764 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,959 Speaker 1: hundreds of years ahead of us, thousands of years ahead 765 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,280 Speaker 1: of so yeah, what is that place in Orange County? 766 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,400 Speaker 1: Is it medieval nights? Is that what it's times? I 767 00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:19,240 Speaker 1: think medieval times. I've been there before for a birthday. 768 00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,319 Speaker 1: And that platter of food they said in front of you. 769 00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:25,200 Speaker 1: You're exactly right. It's cool to watch the horses and 770 00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,400 Speaker 1: the joustick and all that, but to give you this 771 00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:32,319 Speaker 1: bland turkey leg it's nasty. I'm like, man, thank god 772 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,640 Speaker 1: for the food we have today. Oh yeah, the food 773 00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,200 Speaker 1: is great. But if that's all you knew back in 774 00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 1: the day, that's all you know, what do you do? 775 00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,800 Speaker 1: We'll get out on that, as we said, So Danny, 776 00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:45,040 Speaker 1: anything remote.
