3

20
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:29,160

Speaker 1: with having to deal with people that you only see once.

22
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: Or twice a year, and you can go out for

23
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,120

00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: you for for you to decide. But it is the

26
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,240

00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:32,960

36
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: new name you're no longer and his glowing bride on

37
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: their huntingmoon baby. Second, bending his time to call you

38
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: out for breaking the kfab and inviting the creepster and

39
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: his sister to the mallard Ugly Sweater party. Please tell

40
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 1: me that your wife was able to separate the couple

41
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: and verify whether or not the young woman is being

42
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: held against her will. It well there was a breakdown insecurity.

43
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: It was very unfortunate that that took place there. And

44
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: heads are going to roll, Danny, I don't know how

45
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: that happened. If y'all got a crew, you've got to

46
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: have a follow guy, clearly and oversight by the security

47
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: team at the Mallard Pelooza Ugly Sweater party. I believe

48
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: there might have been a bribe that was paid. Uh.

49
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, but either way, uh Ocally, locally Doo

50
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: was there wearing a clipper shirt and hanging out and

51
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: uh and and there there were no problems. We did

52
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: not have almond butter. I don't remember him eating any

53
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: of the food. It's probably was not highbrow enough for him.

54
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: But it was an interesting surprise. I didn't know that

55
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: he was gonna show up. You know that you invite people,

56
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: you never know who's actually gonna show up or not.

57
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: And speaking of Daddy, Daddy, I know I know now.

58
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: Was that really his sister that was with him? Ah?

59
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: They claimed to be in a mutually dating loving relationship. Oh,

60
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: I get it, Okay, Yeah, tongue was a wagging there.

61
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: The tongues were wagging. Was that some Arkansas humor written there? Uh?

62
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: You know people send the mail BA. It's a great

63
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: thing about the mail bag, Danny. You never know what

64
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna get in the mail bags. Next up is

65
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: Kevin listening to us in Kansas. Kevin is a regular

66
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: emailer and very loyal to the show. He says, Ben

67
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: and Danny, g I have listened to every episode of

68
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: the show and the real fifth hour over two year,

69
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: Nurse God bless you. I discovered that I could listen

70
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: more quickly if I speed up the podcast, so one

71
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: point to five times or one point five times, all

72
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: of you sound just fine even at that faster speed,

73
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: all of you except Jet who fled and the ocasional

74
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: call from half point So, gentlemen, how do you explain

75
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: this unnatural phenomena? Kevin and Kansas asked? Could they be

76
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: from another world? Keep up the great work, Yeah, see

77
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: the problem. My theory on this, Kevin and I want

78
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: to get your take on this, Dandy. My theory is

79
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: that Jet who fled already talks in his normal voice

80
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 1: like he's at one point five speed or one point

81
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: to five, So then if you speed it up to

82
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: that level, it then goes even further ahead, and that

83
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: causes problems. You know what I mean. I think that

84
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: we all sound shitty when we're sped up. It's like what,

85
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: I'm listening to our network and they have to speed

86
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: your voice up on one of the commercials to make

87
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: it fit. Yeah, all of a sudden, you sound like

88
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: a chipmunk. May Ben Miller? Like? You sound like a

89
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: young Ben Miller? Yeah? Young the man? Enjoy me. The

90
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: Royals are having their problems on the road. The man

91
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: that was responsible for that that clip was at the

92
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: Ugly Sweater party. He was in attendant. It's the man

93
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: that played the clip that made that drop. Was was there? Uh? So? Anyway?

94
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: Like for Halloween? Yes, I had to drive him to

95
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: his hotel. I was dead tired and I had to

96
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: drive him to the hotel or else. He's still be

97
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: there my party in a row. Oh yeah, he's every party.

98
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: This guy's a legend. Man. He's always the last one man.

99
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: I love him to death. He's crazy Mike from Fullerton.

100
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: Right soon as the mail bag continues, oh yeah, look

00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: at that, uh says thanks to Danny G's hot Mike

Speaker 1: story last mail bag. Thanks to that, I will not

103
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: be asking the same question three weeks in a row.

104
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: It's a Christmas miracle. Mike says from Fullerton on the

105
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: mail bag, what's something you really wanted for Hanaker or

106

Speaker 1: Christmas as a kid but never got? Also, congrats on

107
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: the baby, Danny, g I remember to keep practicing your

108
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: fake smile just in case pink smoke comes out at

109
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: the gender reveal party. That's that is from Mike from Fullerton. So,

110
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. We get asked this question a lot.

111
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: Is there anything you really really want? It was always

112
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: like video games, but these are archaic video games. And

113
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: my parents took me up. They took pretty good care

114
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: of me with the video games. And back in those days,

115
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: you'd buy like, uh, Colico Vision or Nintendo, and they

116
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: used to give you a ton of games, like to

117
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: get you to buy the game system. They give you

118
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: a bunch of because the games all sucked. Yeah, that's true,

119
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: but they gave you a lot so you had variety. Yeah,

120
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: it's not like it is today. So I got a

121
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: variety of sucky games. Yeah, but you know nostalgia, Danny.

122
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: When you look back at them, you're like this, don't

123
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: duck hunt with Calico Vision. You couldn't get the tank

124
00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: to move the direction you wanted it to go. Well,

125
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with any of that, but he's asked

126
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: a question. He wants an answer. If we don't answer

127
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: the question, this douchebag Mike from Fullerton the last the

128
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: same exact question next week. Yeah. Like I said, there's

129
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: nothing off the top of my head that I desperately wanted.

130
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure when I was a little kid, there's stuff

131
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: that I die, I was dying to get. My mom

132
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: would would not get me. Um, But I all right

133
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: now in this moment, there's nothing that pops in my head.

134
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: My older brother and I wanted the Hot Wheels race track. Yeah,

135
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: that was that was huge, wasn't It was massive? It

136
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: was massive, Like the TV commercial showed the kids with

137
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: this entire plastic track around their bedroom, and we always

138
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: thought those controllers looked really cool to trigger trigger remember those. Yeah,

139
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: I wanted that so bad. And my mom always said

140
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: the same thing, that's a bunch of flimsy. She didn't

141
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: use that word, that's a bunch of flimsy plast dick,

142
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: I'm not spending good money on that. Yeah, because she

143
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: knew that you'd use it once or twice and then

144
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: it would completely disintegrate. And that's like, that's the kind

145
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: of thing what your mom said when when like we're

146
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: a kid, you don't get it, but now as an adult,

147
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: you're like, that totally makes sense. That totally makes sense. Yeah,

148
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: it's like that waste my money on that's gonna fall

149
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: apart in a minute. I still wanted it, I know,

00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 1: to buy your toys. Yeah, when my kid wants the

156
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: futuristic hoverboard. Yeah, you're gonna explain to your kids. Now

157
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: we save this money and we invest in stock. By

158
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: the time you're at the promper age, you'll be uh

159
00:09:54,440 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: straight cash home. That's right, all right? What is done? Okay?

160
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: Neil from the real Miami Miami Miami rights and he says,

161
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: dear Big band and Danny G. Happy honekh and and

162
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: happy congratulations on the fatherhood, Neil says to you, Danny G. Congratulations.

163
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: Says I wanted to give props to the Mallard militias

164
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: super solid job with questions this year. Absolutely agree with

165
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: you on that We've never been short of questions. A

166
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,599
Speaker 1: few times I got a little concerned, I got a

167
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: little flop sweat, but the Malamoa always stepped up and

168
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: came up with the proper questions. And Neil says, a

169
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: sports question for you guys. Some of the great athletes

170
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: that you interviewed after retirement said that they do not

171
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: watch a single game of the sport they played in

172
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: for decades. So I am curious to get your thoughts

173
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: on that, and do you see yourself the same way

174
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: or will you be the rabbi of sports talk radio forever.

175
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: I hope you enjoyed the ugly enjoyed the ugly sweater party.

176
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: This reminded me of you. He sent me a picture

177
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: here of a an ugly Hanukkah sweater and he says,

178
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: a prosperous three for you. Ben and Danny G will

179
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: thank you. Neil. Yeah. So I have run across a

180
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: few athletes that once they retire, they they're done. That's it.

181
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: They did it because they made a lot of money,

182
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: they were good at it. I've also come across athletes, Danny,

183
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: that still go back to games because they're paid ambassadors

184
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: and they don't really like it, but they need the money,

185
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: and the teams will hire them and pay them like

186
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: sixties seventy thousand dollars a year to appear at events

187
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: and shake hands and kiss babies and all that. So

188
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: there are those guys. Now that's not everyone. I don't

189
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: want to be totally cynical here and say that the

190
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: entire world's like that. There are other people that generally

191
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: love the sport for their entire life. But as far

192
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 1: as the question you asked, Neil, I don't see myself

193
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: ever getting too far away from sports radio. Now, sports

194
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: radio might get far away from me. They might tell

195
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: me I have no place in the business. But I

196
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: think I'll always doing a podcast or something you until

197
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: I'm kicking the bucket and turn out the lights of

198
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: the parties over. I think I'll do some kind of

199
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: audio content unless and there's one caveat to that, Danny,

200
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: and I don't want to get it's political bullshit, and

201
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to be like that. But if somebody

202
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: were to come in who runs a hedge fund, say

203
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: the owner of the New York Mets and throw ridiculous

204
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: money my way. Then maybe I would reconsider my plans.

205
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: But I don't foresee that happen. So you're saying, if

206
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: Cohen the owner came to you and said, Manny, help

207
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: me get out of this Correa mess, Yeah, yeah, and

208
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: I'll be like, okay, uh, that'll cost you, you know,

209
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 1: three fifty million. I'll take a hundred seventy five million

210
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: and then I'll figure it out for you. That's right, Well,

211
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: after taxes, it's like a hundred twenty or something like that.

212
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: You know, really gonna have to be so you would

213
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: go work for its team? Oh for that kind of money?

214
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? I'd wear the Mr. Met costume

215
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: for that kind of money and walk around there be

216
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 1: I'd be wonderful and be wild and crazy and all that.

217
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: All right, what is next on the mail bag? Next

218
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: up is Joe and Darcy from the Sunshine State, And

219
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: Joe and Darcy right and says, I am a in

220
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: a in a hypothetical scenario. Hypothetical scenario where the NFL, NBA,

221
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: major League Baseball all did not exist but all started

222
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: on January on what teams that exist today would not

223
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: exist if day one of these leagues was January. Other words,

224
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: would there be an NFL team in Green Bay? Would

225
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: there be three teams in New York when equity is

226
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: the bullshit buzzword of the day, Joe and Darcy right,

227
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: would there be more or less teams overall? You can

228
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: go over wherever you want with this. I wonder if

229
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: the NFL would be a seven day a week sport

230
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: in the hypothetical. For instance, I still think Pat say

231
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: Jack is a money laundering a money launderer hiding in

232
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: plain sight. And Koda the cat still sucks so very

233
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: kindness and a little photo here, so uh well, Joe, Yeah,

234
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: I think the idea that Green Bay, Wisconsin would have

235
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: an NFL team, I think you can pretty much forget

236
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: about that. That would not exist in the modern They

237
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: would not be community owned like the Packers are. That

238
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't happen. We could get rid of the Houston Astros.

239
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: Who needs them? The holes? You can get rid of

240
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: them and say that on the podcast Murder. Uh yeah,

241
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: you know. I was told by somebody like, if you

242
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: were to break up the map based on these sports

243
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: business guys, if you break up the map based on

244
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: geography pretty much. You have to put teams where the

245
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: people are. There's enough people in New York and l

246
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: A where they could each have three, like three NFL

247
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: teams in New York. I'm talking about New York City

248
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: proper slash New Jersey. You can put three teams there.

249
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: You can put a second team in Boston. There's enough

250
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: people in that region. You can put a second team

251
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: in Chicago. Uh, going down that road, I don't know

252
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: that the Utah Jazz would exist in the NBA. I

253
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: would say no on that. Uh, Portland's Trailblazers. I think

254
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: they would focus more on the bigger cities. And they've

255
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: got a pretty good set up in the NFL set

256
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: up the most important nights of television. Sunday nights, the

257
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: most important night. They've got that. Thursday nights, a big

258
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: night leading into the weekend. They've got that covered. I

259
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: think they would play Friday and Saturday also, and they've

260
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: they've never really done Friday night because of high school football,

261
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: although they're gonna have a game next year because of

262
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: the Amazon on that Black Friday, and then Saturday, they'd

263
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: like to do that as well. So I don't think

264
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: they'd play Monday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are not great nights.

265
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: So I think they key Thursday through Sunday with Thursday

266
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: through Monday, I should say, but Tuesday Wednesday they'd be dark.

267
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: What about you, Danny? Any thoughts on in a different dimensions?

268
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: A signpost up ahead, a world where all these sports

269
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: leagues did not exist, and then they start all of

270
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: a sudden on January one, coming up here soon here

271
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: in You know, I'm just a casual college football fan.

272
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: So I've been loving the NFL Saturdays the past couple

273
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: of weekends. I would do that. I would give the

274
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: viewer a choice and the listener a choice between college

275
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: and NFL. So I would go Saturday and Sunday for

276
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: the National Football League. What about the Friday night showcase game? Yeah,

277
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: I would keep Friday for the kids. Keep it for

278
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: the kids. What about the prows? What about you? I

279
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: want to thank Joe Darcy and they may sure to

280
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: send a photo of Coda the cat, So thank you.

281
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,479
Speaker 1: I'm looking at your pussy cat right there. Uh, let

282
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: me put a Genie cat drop here, the legend, the

283
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: legend Genie. That's a plumb pussy right there. Next up

284
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: our friend Terry from England is a writing it s

285
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 1: we do? He says, does FSR look at the interactions

286
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: you have on social media? For example, the number of likes, retweets, comments,

287
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: If you get more comments, do they regard the information

288
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: as positive and count it. Is there a particular hashtag

289
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: or at that the malamush if they used it would

290
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: gain you more cloud? Do these numbers matter or not?

291
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: I don't think they really matter that much. I think

292
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: it's more about podcast downloads and actual terrestrial radio listeners.

293
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: And in our world, we gotta keep the affiliates happy

294
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 1: that they're pleased carrying the pro I mean, not that

295
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,719
Speaker 1: it hurts. I'm not saying it hurts Terry, And certainly

296
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: we could do a much better job. I think the

297
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: amount of people we have listening overnight and the amount

298
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: of people that actually interact and retweet. I mean one

299
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: of the problems is a lot of the people are

300
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: working and you can't be on your phone while you're

301
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: working in a factory or you're having a truck. You

302
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: can't be playing on Twitter, so that becomes problematic. But

303
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: in a perfect world, yeah, we'd have many more retweets

304
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: and comments and likes, and all that. But I mean

305
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: we're dealing with people that are working and and and

306
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: I know you Danny on the Covino and Rich show,

307
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: you've got people that are driving around. They're not also

308
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: able to be on their phones quite as much. Yeah,

309
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: just like your show, we get delayed reactions. So I'll

310
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: wake up to tweets tomorrow morning and it's listeners commenting

311
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: about something that happened on the afternoon prior. Yeah, so

312
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: it's a it's you have people listening. Well, I mean,

313
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: it's one of the cool things back in the old days,

314
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: back in the old days, Terry. And you know this

315
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: for me being a radiohead that we only had the

316
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: live listener. Now you've got the time the laid listener

317
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: on the podcast. And I know that on the overnight

318
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: some of my I've been told by friends of mine

319
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: that some of our stuff gets replayed on the Serious

320
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: XM channel for some reason. If they've got like a

321
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: half hour to fill, they'll shove our show on there

322
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: at random time, so people will hear the show when

323
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: it's not in the you know, not to meddle on

324
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: a night or anything like that. So that's that's an

325
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: interesting wrinkle as well, next up, Let's see who is

326
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:36,479
Speaker 1: next year? Any MENI mon, come on. This is from

327
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: John in northern Colorado, he says, Is it just me

328
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: or do you also up the alcohol intake to get

329
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: through the forced family fund during the holidays. Well? Absolutely, John,

330
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: I'm not a big drinker anymore, and I got enough

331
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: issues from my younger days being a morbidly obese guy

332
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: when I was growing up. So I don't drink that much,

333
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: but I do around the holidays. My wife likes to

334
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: throw parties, and so I normally am I've got to

335
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 1: be the the hostess with the mostess, so I end

336
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: up having to have a couple of pops and yeah,

337
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 1: so what about you, Danny? Uh? You know, Ben, I,

338
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: I guess I used to drink more than I do now. Um,

339
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: but I didn't even drink a ton back then. Like

340
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: in the club days, the club promoter and the club

341
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: owner would walk up and hand you drinks and you

342
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: kind of felt compelled to take those drinks and participate,

343
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: and you got feeling good and it helped you, you know,

344
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: read the crowd and get in a groove and a zone,

345
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: bringing all the party people to the dance floor. So

346
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: I would drink a couple of incredible hulks look those

347
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: up now though, you know me and the Tinderoni. Once

348
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: in a while we would go wine tasting, but after

349
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: the wine we'd be like, God, I have heartburn, and

350
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: my chick would be like, yeah, I have heartburn too,

351
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: and so we're like, damn, we can't drink wine. Um,

352
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: you know the one drink I think we still go to,

353
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: not not until the baby is born, but in the past,

354
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 1: recent past, margarita's. We could do a good margharita. And

355
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: I think that's where life is at right now. Life

356
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: is a margharita. So you can tell how old you

357
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: are by what alcohol you consume. Yeah, yeah, it's like

358
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: it's it's a generational thing. It's uh, I don't know

359
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: if that's the right word, but it's depending on how

360
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: old you are, Like you're in your twenties or drink

361
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 1: anything dirties, you're maybe more refined because you kind of

362
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: know what you're like and what you don't like, but

363
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: you still go crazy. And then when you get your forties,

364
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: you're like, uh, I gotta I gotta pick my spots. Yeah,

365
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 1: you definitely no better. You don't mix alcohols at that point.

366
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: All right. Next up on the mail bag, Christmas edition,

367
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: Mary Christmas. Yeah, man, the kids are happy. I got

368
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: manh yeah, I got the hell. Yeah's a ho ho ho.

369
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: All right. Next up on the mail bag, our friend

370
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: John from Oregon. He says, I am the chucker. Remember

371
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 1: the guy that was out hunting, hunting those birds with

372
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: the dogs and all that stuff. Yeah, yeah, they called,

373
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: he said. The chucker is pronounced the man's name chuck

374
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: with a light e er, So chucker. I think I'm

375
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: saying it right right, chucker. Yeah. And he he sent me,

376
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: and I really John went into great detail here, and

377
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm very happy that he did this because I didn't

378
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: know a lot about this. So he sent me a

379
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: blow by blow, frame by frame analysis of of his, uh,

380
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: his hunting these birds the chuckers, I think is that

381
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: what they're called? And he h. He goes out with

382
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: his dogs there in organ. He says, he carries a

383
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: GPS unit to keep track of them. At any time,

384
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: the unit shows me the direction of each dog, as

385
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: well as the distance away from me. When a dog

386
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: goes on point, the unit informs me with a little ding.

387
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: And he says that I then use that the unit

388
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: to guide me to the dogs. How crazy is that?

389
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: When when I get there, I usually take a photo

390
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: of the dogs and then walk out in front of

391
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: the pointing dog to flush the birds and shoot with

392
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: my shotgun. Yeah, I'm onto you chucka When the birds flush,

393
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 1: my dogs are free and go and hopefully retrieve what

394
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: I shot. With the rocky and sometimes steep terrain, not

395
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: all of the shots are successful. And I gotta tell you, man,

396
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: I am I'm impressed. He sent photos here. He says,

397
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 1: this is my rig. You can't see it obviously it's

398
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: a podcast. But I only use the Polaris Ranger when

399
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: the two track roads are primitive, the conditions are extremely muddy. Yeah,

400
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: he's he's going out. He's doing this thing here and

401
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: it's like black and black gray and uh, he said,

402
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: he's got like frame by frame here. I said, Cindy

403
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: is on point. I don't want to get in all this,

404
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: but nine six yards. He sent me some photos of

405
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: dogs at the camper after the hunt. Jesus, did he

406
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: send you coordinates? Pretty much? He said, This guy's I

407
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: mean to get into it, John. He says, my usual

408
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: hunt is four to six miles, and the dogs cover

409
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: three or four times what I do. I used to

410
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: cover significantly more miles. But here's the my favorite part

411
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: of the story. And this is the main reason I

412
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: went all the way down here, because my man John,

413
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: who loves this podcast and listen to this podcast out

414
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: when he's out in the Oregon wilderness, has been doing

415
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 1: this for thirty nine seasons. He is seventies seven years old. Damn,

416
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: this guy's like Rambo out there. John, You're like Rambo

417
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: out there still hun God bless you. I mean, this

418
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: guy's going out in the mud with the dogs and

419
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: the GPS and all that outstanding. And he even sent

420
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: me photos of the dead birds as he's about to

421
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: cook them. So I got even that, Danny. I don't

422
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: know that I needed to see that, but I got that.

423
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: So that's a lot of meat right there. That's a

424
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,479
Speaker 1: lot of meat. That's a good looking bird. There's a

425
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: lot of meat. Is a lot of meat. And thank you, John.

426
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, and God bless him. Man. Good for you. Man.

428
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 1: can go out and do that kind of stuff. Not

429
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: that I do it now. I'm not even your age.

430
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,040

Speaker 1: is Noah from Austin's is Merry Christmas? Dandy g Big Ben?

434
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 1: No one likes being sick at all? What do you

435
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: too believe to be the worst five symptoms of being sick?

436
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: Good question. We don't do list radio. No. As you know,

437
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to you calling the show, starting the

438
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: terrestrial radio show starting in January. How about we do

439
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: an amount rushmore of sickness. Oh, that's just what I want.

440
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: So for me, the worst is laryngitis. I can't work

441
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,199
Speaker 1: properly when I have laryngitis, and then right after it

442
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: is an annoying cough. Didn't bother chicker. And by the way,

443
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: he still was on the air with laryngitis. Oh and

444
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: me too, I've done I've done plenty of shows that

445
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: proves that certain management people don't listen. Danny. I've had

446
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: full I've had no voice and done ten minute monologues

447
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: with no voice. Sure Boss was listening. He's like, man,

448
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: this is the best Ben Its sounded in a while exactly.

449
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: So for me, it's laryngitis and a cough. I have

450
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 1: a bit of a running nose now, I'm not. I'm not.

451
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: That doesn't really bother me too much, what about you, Danny.

452
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: For me, the sore throat is number one. I hate

453
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: that feeling. When you wake up with a sore throat,

454
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: that is the worst, and you you run and you

455
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: hurry up and gargle with mouthwash and hope you can

456
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: kill whatever's back, terry, whatever is going on in there.

457
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: And sometimes it'll work and it'll subside throughout the day,

458
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: and then other times it just increasingly gets worse and

459
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: you're like, damn it. No, if you can hold a

460
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: sore throat off at bay, it's a good day. But

461
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: like I said, when it gets worse, then you know

462
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: you're really sick. Like my Tenderni is dealing with that

463
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 1: right now. She has such a sore throat that she

464
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: couldn't even sleep last night. Yeah. Well, I would hope

465
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: that she would use the garlic, but that but no,

466
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: And that is one thing. The garlic does attack the

467
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: sore throat. I know, I'm I'm like evangelist when it

468
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: comes to garlic. But it has helped me and I agree.

469
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: The sore throat is absolutely freaking terrible, and people path

470
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 1: to the side. What's worse, the sore throat or raw garlic,

471
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: And it's a tough choice. Yeah, it's a it's a monster.

472
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: I know, the garlics of monsters. Not for everyone. You

473
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: it's you know, that's why vampires don't. They don't want

474
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: any part of it, all right. H Next up Nick

475
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin rights and says Ben and Danny, my middle son,

476
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: who was almost four, is obsessed with dinosaurs. When you

477
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: were kids, were there any certain types of toys that

478
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: you could not get enough of or anything that the

479
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: children in your lives enjoy a lot? So, yeah, Nick,

480
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 1: I went through the usual I consider the usual like

481
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: boy phase. Things of my age raigns like I was

482
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: in the g I Joe When I was a kid,

483
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: I wanted to be a soldier. I was in the

484
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: police and fireman, cowboys and Indians like. I went through

485
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: all of that and somehow I landed on broadcaster, which

486
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: I don't know how that happened, but I I loved

487
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: all of those things, and I had like a bunch

488
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: of gi legos, had a bunch of legos um. You know,

489
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: we had that that period of time. So I was

490
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: obsessed with all of those things for a period of time.

491
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: I don't even know how long. When you're a kid,

492
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: it seems like a long time, but I know an

493
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: adult world, it's probably not that long. What about you, Danny,

494
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: any of you obsessed with? This reminds me of one

495
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: of my favorite comedies. Where did this quote come from? Ben?

496
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, When I was a little boy,

497
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: I always wanted to be a dinosaur. I wanted to

498
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: be a Tyrannosaurus Rex more than anything in the world.

499
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: I made my arms short, and I roamed the backyard.

500
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: I chased the neighborhood cats. I growled and I roared.

501
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: Everybody knew me and was afraid of me. That's the

502
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: dad and stepbrothers. That's right. Yeah, I remember he's giving

503
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: them the motivational speech up on the stage at the

504
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: motherfucking Catalina wine mixer. Yes, not even a life skill.

505
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: That is outstanding. Man. See, this is what you're gonna

506
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: deal with, Danny. In a couple of years. You're gonna

507
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: deal with what this nick's going through. It he's gotta

508
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: have a four year old obsessed. Well, you know, depending

509
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: on boy or girl whatever, you have different obsessions. But

510
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: that's what you got to look forward to right there.

511
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: When I was a little kid, I had those plastic dinosaurs.

512
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: Do you remember those? Yes? Yeah, it's like Army Man

513
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: and they still make those. They probably don't know. My

514
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: mom had him in a huge ziplock bag. Yeah. They

515
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: come wherever we went and dump them out on the

516
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: floor and she'd say, shut up and play with your dinosaurs.

517
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: All right. Here's the next one is from Chris and

518
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: Marracca to Iowa. This sounds like a question for the

519
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: Animal Thunderdome, which hopefully will be launching in three For

520
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: Danny g And Chris says, who would win a fight

521
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: between a bear and a lion? So, first of all, Chris,

522
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: I'll go first, and Danny's the expert, but I'll say

523
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: they've they've actually had that matchup on the NFL gridiron

524
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: and usually but I think the bear wins most of those,

525
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: So I'll go with the bear on that. But in

526
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: the wild, like out on the Serengetti, I don't think

527
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: are there bears on the Serengetti. I don't know, probably

528
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: not right, Yeah, but if a bear and lion got together,

529
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: who would win that? I would think the lion would

530
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: actually have an advantage. But the bears are so big,

531
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: that's the thing. They're so huge. Yeah, the lion, I'm

532
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: looking it up right now. A bear would win a

533
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: fight against the lion. Bears have the advantage in just

534
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: about every aspect, from size to offensive capabilities. The only

535
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: time that a lion would win is if it managed

536
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: to sneak up an ambush a bear, leaping onto it

537
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: and biting into its head with such power that it

538
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: shattered the skull. Ah. See, you gotta you gotta go

539
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: with the ambush technique there, if you're yeah, that also

540
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: works in the NFL. If you ambush the opponent get

541
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: out to a big league usually win. That usually works,

542
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: David writes, and he says, first of all, happy holidays,

543
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: big man, and Danny g hope ball as well. This

544
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: is David listening to us in Houston, the den of

545
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: an equity. He says, does your family open presence at

546
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: midnight on Christmas or in the morning? So I've what

547
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: I've done here, David, And Danny's got his own deal obviously,

548
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: I obviously piggyback what my wife's family does. And so

549
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: normally we have a big family get together at the

550
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: Mallard mansion for the aunt's uncle's cousins on Christmas Eve

551
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: and we cater the thing, and you know, I have

552
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: a have a grand old time. And then on Christmas

553
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: Day we go to my father in law's house and

554
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: kind of hang out with him and spend time with

555
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: like the really close close relatives. So that's usually how

556
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: how we doing. I mean I don't really get that

557
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: much stuff, but I usually opened something on I guess

558
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: in the morning on on Christmas. Fin leeks girl, fin

559
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: lee girl. We will never meet men. Tit as though

560
00:32:55,840 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: his girlfriends wept their off for feet. Jeremy from Vermont, Right, so,

561
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: and he says question for you, Ben, Me and my

562
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: wife recently started watching the TV show N on one

563
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: on Hulu. Your wife is a nine one one operator.

564
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: Does she watch the show and is it accurate? Uh? So?

565
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: She has told me it's pretty accurate, but she doesn't

566
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: like watching those kind of shows because it's like work.

567
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: It would be like me watching a show about sports radio.

568
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: You Danny, you know, I was like, yeah, I kind

569
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: of move on from that. Um, but I used to

570
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: love the show. I love What show Man because we

571
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: would watch Frazier and we'd be like, that's not how

572
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: it works. He would just press a button and then

573
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: he'd walk away for like fifteen minutes. Yeah, and news

574
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: radio is another one, you know. Yeah, or they would

575
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: he would end his program whenever he felt like it,

576
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: or like that's not how it works. No, no, no, exactly. Um. Yeah,

577
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: so the one I liked was the first forty eight.
