He's the last remnants of 0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.920 the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats 0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:15.800 crackheads in the Ghetto Cutter the same as the rich 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:19.880 pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House of hot 0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:23.599 takes break free for something special.

It's like a box of chocolate standing. We 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:01.640 have no idea. Well, I have some idea because I 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:03.760 put a list of the emails together, but but I 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:05.760 forgot about them. I have a bad memory, so I 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:08.160 forgot about them. So it will be new to me, Danny, 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.399 and it's it's it's I love it. I love that 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:13.720 we had a good podcast on Saturday. You happened about 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:18.240 the Death Star so Fi Stadium Spider man memes and 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.960 all that. So we'll try to do it above average 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:24.240 one and hopefully they will not be uh that listening 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:27.280 to us, hopell that I should be. Yeah, Ben, the 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:29.960 only thing that's gonna be more exciting than today's mail 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:33.160 bag is the Pro Bowl. Yeah, well, you let me 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:36.360 know how it goes, okay, because I'll I'll be doing 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:38.720 something else. I'll be staring at a wall. Is what 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:40.720 I'm gonna be doing. Is we'll put that out right now? 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.200 Oh hell, Bill Miller, because I gotta worry about the 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:46.679 Super Bowl day. See, I gotta worry about that. I 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:52.000 gotta get my outfit together. That's right. I don't even 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:57.200 know what that means, but righte that button anyway, all right, 0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.320 so let's get let's get into it. You know, the 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:01.320 official to have the mailbag, you have to have the 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.840 official mail bag open, otherwise it's not a mailbag, it's 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:15.000 something else. So here we go. Thank you very much. 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:18.639 The Great Ohio Al sent that in Ohio Al sent 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:22.440 me an angry letter. He loves this show, but he 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:28.560 was complaining about another show that he doesn't like, and 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:30.919 I think he just wanted to vent. You know, sometimes 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:33.680 you just want to vent. Danny, and he I think 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.839 he just wanted to complain, and event I think he's 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.840 okay now, but maybe not. But he sent along email 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:42.320 he asked for like someone's email address. But you know, Danny, 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:44.360 we're not allowed to give out certain email addresses, as 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:47.920 you know, otherwise we end up getting in trouble. So 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:52.680 we have to say we hate to do that, but 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.120 occasionally we have to do this. Yeah, you have to 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:59.359 pull a Sammy Sosa at that point, are you speak? Yeah, 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:04.560 exactly exact? When in Rome, act like a Roman, and 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:09.919 when you're facing the United States Congress, suddenly you forget English. 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.680 But it does. It does occasionally happen anyway. So these 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:15.840 are actual questions in and by actual listeners. We think 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.760 you all. You guys have been great week after week 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.519 and with a loyal group that sends questions in. And 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.079 we always welcome new people. And if you're new to 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:25.760 the podcast or you've been listening a while and you 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:29.480 never pay attention, I get it. But there's several ways 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:33.960 you can contact us. Uh. Facebook is the most likely 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:39.480 source of this.

But if 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:18.479 if you're saying, hey, I want to know something about 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.160 this and I'm curious about that, feel free and have 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.160 you got nothing else going on? You just want to say, hey, 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.520 I'm doing Yeah, I don't know what the dogs doing, 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:28.960 but dog's probably sleeping right now at least in my 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.640 my humble about all right, So first email comes from 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:38.120 let's see here. Once you go page down here, page down. Yeah. 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:42.640 Kevin in Kansas says, dear Ben and Danny G. I 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.920 have been in the process of downsizing stuff from my life, 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:49.400 he says. Ben says, you just made your move. What 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:53.040 percentage of the stuff in your boxes do you think 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:59.080 you'll be able to jettison in the next year or two. Yeah, 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.080 so I've had tough time with this. Yeah, I got 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:03.320 we got a lot of stuff. Um and I know, 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:06.680 I'll give you an idea. When my my father passed 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:10.200 away last year and we had to go through the 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.320 house that he you know, I grew up in and 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:15.719 he lived, you know, he lived till he died, and 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:20.200 my parents, may they rest in peace. They had we 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:23.400 we went up to the attic above the garage and 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.560 there were boxes, hand to God, Danny that hadn't been 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:31.279 opened from the nineteen seventies, that had stuff from the 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:35.920 nineteen sixties, in the nineteen fifties that I'm sure they 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:39.039 had the best of intentions that day. We're gonna open 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.400 those up someday and they were gonna reminisce and all 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:47.880 that stuff didn't happen. And uh so it's wild the 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.600 American pickers guys would have loved opening those boxes. Oh yeah, 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.560 they're like a bunch of old things from my my 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:58.400 mom's like high school, junior high school, and she had 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:02.039 saved little knick knacks. It's stuff and I'm looking at this, 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:05.240 I'm like, man, like, this is wild. And I tried 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:07.160 to find my mom's picture in one of these things. 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.080 I couldn't find it because everyone looked the same, they 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:10.919 had the same haircut and the whole thing. And it 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.640 was they didn't make your books back in those days 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:15.719 like they do now. It's hard to It wasn't an 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:18.159 alphabetical order. It was just kind of everyone's jumbled on 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:22.120 the page. And the nineteen fifties it was a lot different, 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.120 or sixties. It was a lot different back then, obviously. 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:28.560 So I'm coming through a move recently, like you, Ben, Uh, 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:33.640 it's pretty amazing how little you actually do need while 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:35.719 you're in the moving process and you don't get to 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.920 it until months later. So how bad did you really 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:42.880 need that stuff? No, you're absolutely right. But then it's like, well, 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.240 maybe I will need you talk yourself into that, and 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.039 I'm I'm trying to battle that myself because i we 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.560 gotta get rid of a lot of stuff. I need 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:55.280 to hire a magician who Dan I don't think he's available, 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.839 because I gotta make a lot of stuff vanished, and 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.440 you know, it's only have a limit time off of 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:03.960 the podcast takes up time the radio show, and so 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:06.080 when you have a little time off, you're like, well, 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:08.240 I don't want to do that. That's you know, I 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:09.960 want to do something fun. I don't want to do that, 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:12.000 but you gotta get it done. And that's where the 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.960 storage unit places really get you. I have one unit 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.640 right now. You know it's not a big storage unit, 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.560 but still it's a hundred bucks a month. I don't 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.520 have three times. I'm working seven days a week right now. 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:27.080 So you're chasing your tail and then they start to 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:31.920 up the rent price on you. That's a multibillion dollar industry, 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:35.440 the storage units. Oh yeah, no, it's it's the perfect 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.480 scam because they give you a low you know, first month, 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:42.120 one dollars of that, and then they get you in 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.080 on that and you're all excited and you're like, oh, 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.520 this is great, and I got storage, I get everything. 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:49.880 And then within like five or six months, all of 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.080 a sudden, the rate goes up and it's not like 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.680 they warn you. It's not like and then you can say, hey, 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:56.800 wait a minute, no, you don't get to do that. 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:59.120 I had one in l A where they would jack 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:03.040 up the rent every six months out of principle alone. 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:05.280 I went over there with a truck one day. I 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:08.200 got it all out, and I made my own storage 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:12.040 space inside my apartment. Yeah, and you're right, you know, 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:14.720 some of the stuff I need a lot of electronics 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.680 and things like that for my podcasting studio that I 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.680 still need to put together. But other than that, you know, 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:25.520 as far as knick knacks and collectibles and things like that. Man, 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.440 I'm gonna do the old take the old advice, take 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.560 a picture of it, and then get rid of it. Yeah. 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:34.160 I'm working through the mental part of that right now, 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.000 because I mean, I have so much that my entire 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:39.760 life has been saved by my parents. For Puss, I 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:42.280 could open a museum. Nobody gives a crap about me, 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:44.280 so there's no need to open a museum. But I 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:47.400 mean I have everything. I mean, my mom, I don't 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.600 anything that came into our house. Danny stayed in our 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.319 house the rest of my mom's life, and my dad's 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:57.080 feel Wow. Well, the psychology behind it is their parents 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.880 went through the Great Depression, or if you're young enough, 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:05.920 great grandparents, and and then so after that, when the 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:10.080 country recovered anything they had a value, they saved it 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:14.520 forever anything that was of value. We are not getting 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.520 rid of this. Yeah, no, it's true. And my you know, 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.520 that's a great point because my my parents, their grandparents 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:24.760 did go through the depression, and my mom was always 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.000 a joke because she always like, you know, people were 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:30.200 hoarding toilet paper and stuff like that. When COVID started 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.720 and my mom had so much of everything, she was 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:38.960 so worried about not having stuff that she collected so much. 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:42.960 We always had tons of whatever, I mean, not just food, 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:48.400 but like plates and uh you know, the ziplog bags 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:52.400 and like random stuff that she you know, because of 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:55.920 how she was raised that she had to keep it also. Anyway, 0:09:56.240 --> 0:10:00.760 all right, moving on here come back shot from now. 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.440 I get it, I understand, all right. Next up is 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:07.720 Barry and Nashville. He says, Yo Yo Ma Benny and 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.360 Danny g. Of course, he says Ben for both you 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.000 and Danny. If I added that, by the way, yo 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.440 yo mom Benny, he did not write that was his thing, 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:17.640 and then he didn't even bother putting it. He said 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.640 that's how I he need everyone should introduced me yo 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:21.440 yo mob Benny or something like that. Anyway, he says 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.959 Ben for both you and Danny, if you won the lottery, 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:28.760 let's say five million bucks, would you continue to work 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:32.440 or would you retire? So I'll go first. Uh, hey, 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.400 I would love doing a lottery. Who wouldn't, although the 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:38.240 taxes on that are insane to the membrane I understand 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:42.120 be I would not stop working. I love what I do. 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.280 I'm very lucky that I have the ability to do 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.560 a job that I like a lot and so I 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:50.800 wouldn't stop, although I would probably take more time off, 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:55.120 and I wouldn't stress about having one bad show and 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.520 then losing everything because I don't have enough money. So 0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.720 that would be neat. That would be neat to have 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:01.840 a little bit of the distress of having to pay 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:05.720 for everything, which is a pain in the ask. What 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:07.920 about you, Danny, if you got you wouldn't work seven 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:10.640 days a week, right, you lose one of the gigs? Yeah, 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:12.840 I mean I would take some time off. I would 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:16.040 go on a long vacation, and then you'd start getting 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.200 antsy a little bit, because you want to stay busy 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:21.800 and be productive. So what I would do is a 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.320 morning show or an afternoon show, and that is the 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:28.800 best time been to host a program. I think back 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:33.000 to when I was programming nine the Heat in the 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:36.680 one area code of California, and I was there for 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:40.960 a year. Station blew up did really good, but the 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:44.640 local owner was a dirt bag. He owed me a 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:49.680 dollar bonus. He refused to pay my bonus and I 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:52.280 had it in writing everything, but he just wouldn't give 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:55.560 it to me. So when it came time to reap 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:59.079 my contract, I told him, we'll give me my bonus first. 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:01.640 He wouldn't do it. So I'm like, okay, well I'm 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:03.640 out of here until you give me my bonus. I 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:08.720 go home, weight around. He finally calls and he's like, well, hey, uh. 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:11.320 While I searched for your replacement, would you mind coming 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.600 in and at least hosting the morning show like you've 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.600 been doing. I'll bump up your hourly pay for the 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:18.800 morning show and that's all you gotta come in and 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:22.080 do for me until I find somebody. And I thought 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.560 about it and I was like, all right, whatever, So 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:27.000 I went in and I did the morning show. Ben. 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:29.880 That was the best three months of radio I've ever 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:33.800 done in my life because I didn't have anything to lose. 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.360 We laughed and had a good time every single day 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:41.040 of the week I knew I couldn't get fired, oh man, 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:44.360 and that I feel like your show would kind of 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:48.280 be like that if you had fuck you money. Yeah, no, no, 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:52.560 it would be wonderful. I would definitely, uh go off 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.320 the cliff a few more times the night I do. Now, 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:56.880 I try to stop right at the cliff. I you know, 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:58.600 try to tow the line. You know, it's like a 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:02.360 wide receiver toe tapu feeding bounds. I would be like, 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:04.960 who cares, I don't need any feeding bounds. You know, 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:06.880 what do you? What? Are you gonna do it? All right? 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:09.960 I'm fine, But it would be like a podcast on 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:15.480 live radio. Yeah. Remember Steve Harvey briefly worked in our building. 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.920 And remember when Steve before COVID, he went back I 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:20.920 do always does the show from now. I probably home 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:23.000 like everyone else, but he would. He'd come in a 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:25.319 few times and it's like, you know, much money. Steve 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:30.800 Harvey has the game show, the radio money. It's just unreal, 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:33.320 but he's still doing it. He's still you honestly got 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:38.520 dude books. Um now his Judge Harvey Show, The Dude 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:41.960 is loaded, and he you know, to his credit, he 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:44.680 would be up just as early as we were. And 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:47.840 the thing I love about I'm a big Steve Harvey fan, 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:49.840 but one of the things I really respect about him 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:53.680 is he realized that the foundation of everything is radio. 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.319 Like a lot of people start right, you know a 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:59.280 lot of people starting radio and then they become TV 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:03.040 stars and like, screw radios below me. But Steve Harvey 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:07.080 always has valued that base that people will listen to 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.319 you on the radio and then watch you on television 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:12.480 and there's more of a you know, we're both radio nerds. 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:14.640 This is more of a connection you get from radio 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:18.120 than you can from a TV show or anything like that. 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:20.560 But let me say TV pays a lot better. So 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:24.040 I'm okay without the connection because those checks are really big, 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:27.720 and I'm okay with it. Alex in Benton, Maine rights in. 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:33.040 He says, does the halftime sideline show? There's a halftime 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:37.280 sideline show with blaring stadium sound in the background. Piss 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:40.280 you off as much as it does me. What do 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:43.840 you do during halftime? Now he's referring to the CBS 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:46.760 broadcast and you see this, you were you were around Vegas. 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:51.200 So the a f C Championship game CBS there there 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:54.120 was a live performance I think it was some country 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:59.240 guy at halftime and drowned out JB and all those 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:01.920 other Yahoo was on CBS, so you couldn't even hear 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.320 what they were saying while they were trying to break 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:06.920 down the first half of the game. It made for 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.640 a very awkward viewing. I did not see the lie. 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:11.320 I was watching the game, but we didn't have audio 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:13.480 where I was at the Rams game. But I did 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.280 see the clip on the internet and it was cringeworthy. 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.520 And what I do at halftime is normally, if I'm 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:22.960 at home watching the games, I I go to the bathroom, 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.080 I get some food, and then I sit back and 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.680 watch because half times, like fifteen minutes, it's it's hardly 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.360 there's nothing going on really for halftime, it's it's here 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:33.760 and gone real quick. Uh, what about you, Danny? Was 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:36.440 your halftime routine? Yeah? I don't pay attention to those 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:40.760 stupid halftime shows anyways. You know, unless those guys are 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:43.200 listening right now, we're trying to book them for the 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:46.920 fifth pocket, then I love your work. But other than that, 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:51.240 they say the same crap over and over again. They're 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.960 all reading off of teleprompters. Usually there's a couple of 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.120 guys we like because they'll say it the way they 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.600 think it is and they speak their mind. But other 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:03.320 than that, to me, it's just boring. And uh, you know, 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:07.440 I'd rather be doing something else at halftime. I'm right 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:09.480 there with you. I used to love the pregame shows 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:11.160 when I was a kid, and then I had a 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:14.560 some point I realized all they do is play, grab 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.520 bass and and and laugh at things that aren't funny. 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:21.680 And they have canned interviews, which whatever. That's not really 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:26.040 my thing. And uh yeah, so I stopped watching those 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:28.600 a while ago, but you should. Of course, we do commercials. 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:31.880 You should watch all the all the pregame shows and whatnot. 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:35.880 All right, anyway, let's see here, moving on from that, 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:44.000 any meany mighty mo? I got mail? Yeah, I got mail? Yeah, 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:47.920 Azzy momentum right in from down Under? He says, simple question, 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:54.560 what superpower would you guys pick? He says the ability 0:16:54.560 --> 0:17:00.560 to be invincible, invisible, fly, superhuman strength, to create fire 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:07.440 or ice at will. So you have to pick one superpower? Well, 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:09.880 I think some of us who live in the shadows 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:13.440 have been almost invisible, so I think we've experienced that 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:17.120 flying would be be great. But what if you crash, 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:20.360 are you guaranteeing me ozzy momentum that I would never 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:23.159 crash because I'd be down for that. That would be 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:28.040 pretty cool as I probably pick flying, flying, or invisible, 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:30.040 like the stuff you could do if you could all 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:34.080 of a sudden become invisible, like go to any game 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:38.080 you want, You're invisible. Walk in they they can't see it. 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.200 I didn't have to buy a ticket, You're in there. 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:44.199 What would you pick? Day, Well, this one's easy for me. 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:47.439 I go back a couple of podcasts ago and I 0:17:47.520 --> 0:18:06.520 told the story about Freeze Monster with the kindergarteners. Yeah. 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:10.840 So if I could truly freeze kids that were misbehaving, 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:15.119 there would be some kinder sickles all over the yard. 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:20.920 Parents would be coming to pick up blocks of ice. Uh, 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:25.360 that would be awesome. I would truly be the freeze Monster. Yeah. Well, 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:27.440 plus as the freeze Monster, if there was ever like 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:31.320 a wildfire calling the freeze Monster boom, you don't need 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:35.360 the fire department on, just need a helicopter, the any 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:38.280 of that stuff, the super Scooper, none of them worldwide 0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:41.560 acclaim all of a sudden, you're you're there to save 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:44.840 the day, like a real superhero. You could just free stuff. 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:48.080 All right, You've got Robin Vegas right, and he said, 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:51.280 hey Bet a longtime caller, first time listener. Thank you. 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:54.720 I'd love to get you. And Danny G's opinions on this, 0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:59.119 which of the following fill ins, both recent and past, 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:02.439 would you prefer? Please rank them? One is the best 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:06.119 and four as the worst. He's got Brandon as in 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:13.440 let's go Brandon news he produced for Coope one day earlier. Actually, yeah, 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:16.240 it was one day. I think he was in one day. Uh. 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:19.640 He says he hung up on Marcel and Justin before 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:25.040 they got to do food picks. Ricky, who apparently isn't 0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:28.240 on social media, which is rather odd given his assumed 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:33.440 young age. Brian Finley, who created his own fan club 0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:37.720 called the Finley Fanatics, although he calls it something else here, 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:41.439 and he says David Gascon a K. Gascan who is 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:46.560 the ultimate narcissist with uh with you know, fake white 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:49.439 teeth or whatever. Anyway, Uh so he wants that story. Now, 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:51.640 should we do this? This is rather dangerous here, Danny. 0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:55.000 Should we take debate here and rank the fill in 0:19:55.359 --> 0:20:00.560 from best to worst? Mm hmm, I guess. But gascon 0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:04.320 even filling in on your lives. No, he does not. 0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:08.080 He's he's long gun. It's he's it's below him to 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:10.600 come in at night. He's the West of the four 0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:13.399 oh five guy. He can't be bothered way that. So 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:18.159 for he's obviously the worst gas gun, clearly the worst. Uh. 0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:23.080 Finley a close second. Uh and then uh. Other than that, 0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:25.760 I guess you know Ricky and Brandon's a tossa. I've 0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:28.480 worked with Ricky more than Brandon, so I'll put Ricky 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:31.160 is the number one and then Brandon is the number two. 0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:35.119 So yeah, I don't know either of those guys as producers. 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:38.320 I know them as editors in the back who usually 0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:41.360 call into the studio to tell us about sound. This 0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:47.439 is their introduction to the production world. Sometimes in radio 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:49.920 we have to pop some chairs here, Danny, to welcome 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:53.040 them to the other side. So have you been welcoming 0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:55.240 to both of them? Are hard on both those guys. 0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:58.159 You gotta learn the right way, You gotta learn the 0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:01.359 right And I've been okay. They have had They've both 0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:05.560 had some tremendous funk ups, and I have not. I've 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:07.320 not made a big deal about it. I'm like you 0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:09.600 know it's all because well, we all started somewhere. I 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:12.439 made some terrible mistakes when I started on radio, But 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:14.760 I do believe in the life model that never make 0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:17.960 the same mistake twice, that as long as you do that, 0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:20.919 you're okay. That that's the way to go on that 0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:27.280 our Oreo Cookie from Oakland, Oaktown in the House says, Hey, Ben, 0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:31.960 to the people that knew you before you lost weight, 0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:35.720 treat you different now that you're almost fun size. And 0:21:35.800 --> 0:21:39.960 did you ever catch anyone talking under their breath about you? 0:21:41.520 --> 0:21:45.000 Let me answer the second one, first story, O Cookie. Yes, Uh, 0:21:45.040 --> 0:21:48.040 And it always made me uncomfortable because there's some really 0:21:48.040 --> 0:21:51.520 it's usually women. You know, they kind of cover their 0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:54.680 they'd be like they cover their mouth so you couldn't see, 0:21:54.680 --> 0:21:56.120 but you knew they were talking because they were looking 0:21:56.160 --> 0:21:59.040 at you and kind of kind of pointing your direction 0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:02.680 with her other hand. Uh. Just really made you feel bad, 0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:09.160 very rude. And I don't think people have treated me differently. 0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:11.760 I don't know, maybe they maybe they have, but it 0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:13.760 is like the perception when you go around and you've 0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:16.360 lost weight, like people just they don't give you as 0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:18.439 hard a time and it's just you just kind of 0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:21.800 fit in better and it shouldn't be that way, but 0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:26.800 that's the way people are. So I don't know if 0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:29.800 that helps you out Oreo Cookie. Do you think his 0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:34.160 mom or your dad named named memorial cookie, first named Orio, 0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:36.639 last named Cookie. I don't know, but I want some 0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:40.480 Oreos for breakfast. Now there you go. Danny G from 0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:45.600 Minneapolis another Danny G rights. He says should ex head 0:22:45.640 --> 0:22:50.080
