46
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: mailbag session of this weekend podcast, I think it got

47
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: to publicly apologize, not only to Brian Fenley, but you

48
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: might have to apologize to moving man Matt, like you

49
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: took out a baton and a sledgehammer and a shovel

50
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: and he decided to club all of them and then

51
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: dig a ditch and put him into it. Uh no,

52
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: I don't. You're a little saucy this week. I was, well,

53
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's retired. Well, I was a little tired.

54
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: I had to do some extra work, you know, and

55
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: I did not really have much of a weekend sleeping.

56
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: I've been I've moved, and they've been doing construction randomly

57
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: during the day. I don't have air conditioning. I have

58
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: a room airic conditioning, which doesn't really work as well

59
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: as I would I would like him. It's good, but

60
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: not really sleeping good. So I don't have blackout curtains up,

61
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: so all the comforts of life. That made me, uh,

62
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, kind of deal with a lot of the

63
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: bull crap I don't currently have right now, but like

64
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: like Moving Man Matt. I think I'm on the email

65
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: that he said I didn't like your tone. I thought that.

66
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: I don't think I was wrong, and I might have

67
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: been wrong to call him a do She's a big fan,

68
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: and I appreciate the fandom of Moving Man Matt. As

69
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: far as Brian, I know, as a bunch of people

70
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: emailing me asking me about that Kurf fluffle that took

71
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: place that rhubarb um. But Brian wanted to get into

72
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: the ring, and when you get into the ring, and

73
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: you've gotta you gotta make sure you don't punch outside

74
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: your weight class, and and he made the mistake and

75
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: and then you know, and then I'm the bad guy

76
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: because he was the one pick in the fight, and uh,

77
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: and then I engaged in him, and then I'm I'm

78
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: the bully, which I don't. I don't think that's that's

79
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: the kid. I like Brian, I I don't. I think

80
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: he means well. And hopefully going forward we will we

81
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: will not have this issue again. But I've always had

82
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: the philosophy, and I I had Brian's job, you know,

83
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: years ago, I was a weekend anchor and I filled in.

84
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: And you know, it's just the way I was taught

85
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: that when you're in someone else's house, you don't piss

86
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: all over the carpet. And so that's always how I Now.

87
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: Some people leave, you should piss all over the carpet,

88
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: but I I I was raised for not to do that.

89
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: And so, uh it bothers me when people come into

90
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: to somebody else's house and uh, you know, try to

91
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: ship on the kitchen floor. Well, you haven't been to

92
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: San Francisco in a while, then I take it, Well, no,

93
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: I have not, but that happens in l A two.

94
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: So anywhere where the honorable governor overseas. Uh, I'll see

97
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: no kitchen, had a kitchen. Of course, I'll occasionally complain

98
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: to my wife and say, you know, this is not

99
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: She's how exciting everything is. He like, it's all excited

100
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: about everything, And I'm like, you know, I'm not on

Speaker 1: I'm holding my ballot in my my hand, and it's

103
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: a very simple ballot, although it's very long living in

104
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: the state of California. There not question for you, and

105
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,880

Speaker 1: recalled removed from the office of governor and you can

107

Speaker 1: either vote yes or no. And then it has candidates

108
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: to succeed Gavin Newsom as governor if he is recalled,

109
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: and there are. I didn't realize how many people were running.

110
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: I see Caitlin Jenner to some that we've heard of,

111
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: Larry Elder, who we support. I think both of the

112
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: support Uh Angeline, Uh, he's running. It's some of these

113
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: other people though, I don't know that Chauncey slim Killings,

114
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: retired correctional offer officer. Um. Looking, I'm trying to see

115
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: if any other names here. There's a lot of political

116
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: hacks that I don't software engineers running major singh I

117
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: think is the name. Yeah, I got a question for then, Yeah,

118
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: so who did your parents vote for? Uh? Oh, my pace, Well,

119
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: if if I don't we know, I don't know, I

120
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: mean my dad did he he vote? That would be

121
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: that was something are dead people voting. You know that. Uh,

122
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. Man, Apparently that stuff does not happen. Well,

123
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure some of that that happens. Well, it depends

124
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: on who wins. That's that will be Whoever whatever side

125
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: loses will claim that there was there was fraud. I mean,

126
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: doesn't matter anyway. Let's say like Larry Elder gets in,

127
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,799
Speaker 1: he's only gonna be the governor. Governor for fourteen months. Yeah,

128
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: you can, you can do some stuff for four teen Yeah,

129
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: but the legislator is controlled by the Democrat. I think

130
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: it's like democrats. So I don't know if he's be

131
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: able to move a lot. At least you can try, yeah,

132
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: you know, and at that point if you try, and

133
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: and and one thing about Larry Elder, he's very he's

134
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: a very good communicator from his years in broadcasting. He's

135
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: very good at getting a message across. And so the

136
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: theory would be that he could let people know that listen,

137
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: this is I'm trying a B and C and X,

138
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: Y and Z is why this isn't happening. So if

139
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: you want things to change, you then have to vote

140
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: out these is of these country bumpkers, these other rubes

141
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: that are supporting the nonsense that's going on. So and

142
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: there are as you know, he's pointed. I don't know

143
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: if he's blowing smoker, I but Elder has said that

144
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: there are certain powers the governor has that you can

145
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: use and get some actual change to kind of overstep

146
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: the legislature if you choose to do it. So hey,

147
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: we'll see. We have a for a few emails with you,

148
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: and then you gotta step out. So uh, this is

149
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: Lord Goofa from Hooverville, USA, says for you and whatever

150
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: co host it is, would you rather wake up in

151
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: the in your underwear at work or wake up naked

152
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: in the woods twenty miles from home? All right, so

153
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go first. Now, the answer for me is, uh,

154
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: in my underwear at work, because I have a studio

155
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: in the house I am in and I could be

156
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: in my underwear at work. I could be in my

157
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: underwear right now and nobody would know it's radio. But

158
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: if I had a job where I was around other

159
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: people in a in an office environment, and I would

160
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: rather be naked in the woods twenty miles from home,

161
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: I think I would that would be preferable because I

162
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: figured there's not many people out in the woods, and

163
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: I think I could handle it. Okay, I get I

164
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: get some some leaves or something. I'd be like Adam

165
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: and Eve and get some leaves to cover my my

166
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: private parts, my twig in berries. You know. Yeah, I'd

167
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: rather do that. Um. Part of the reason is if

168
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: I'm in here, there's just certain people that like to

169
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: talk a lot, and they feel like they can garner

170
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: attention by you know, bringing that to the people who

171
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: upstairs for what think so a little odd but yeah,

172
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: I mean you have people that you know, try to

173
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: take people's jobs and stuff like that. So might be

174
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: some some snakes in the grass a little lot, a

175
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: little odds. So yeah, I'd rather be in I'd rather

176
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: be in Death Valley naked than than be here in

177
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: my underwear. Yeah, all right. Next next email, Rich rights

178
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: in from Parts and Only says, will you ever switched

179
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: to everyday podcast instead of the dying radio industry? Well,

180
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: the radio industry is not dying, that's number one. It's

181
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: changed a lot. I will give you that. The problem

182
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: the flaw with the podcast thing, and I this podcast

183
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: does very well, but the percentage of the amount of

184
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: podcasts that are available, and the percentage of people that

185
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: listen to each podcast, it's I think we we got

186
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: we saw some numbers on on one of the data websites.

187
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: It's like there's only four or five of podcasts. I

188
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: don't even know if that numbers. Maybe I'm I'm that

189
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: number is wrong as I understand it, though, it's like

190
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: podcast people do no one listens, like we're lucky that

191
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: this podcast has a following, and but it's because of

192
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: the radio show rich Maybe people I I've been on

193
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: radio and and I make a lot more money from

194
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: radio than I do from the podcast. And there are

195
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: some podcasts that do very well. Joe Rogan clearly has

196
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: a lot of advertisers as very well. Dan Lebotard has

197
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: been able to monetize that. There's some former athletes that

198
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: have deals with Fortune five hungry companies. But by and large,

199
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: most of the people that do this content are not

200
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: making what you think they're making. There's and and they'd

201
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: love to do radio because radio and there's more people

202
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: that listen to radio. It's hard for people to grasp

203
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: that that even with all of the platforms, most people

204
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: go what's convenient, and for a lot of people when

205
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: you're driving around. Even though you can listen to a

206
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: podcast and cook hook it up to your your phone,

207
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people, I mean just turn on the

208
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: radio and flip around the dial and see if I

209
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: can find something to listen to, because it's just easier.

210
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: It's just convenient and having to plug your phone in

211
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: or connect the bluetooth and and then click click on

212
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: the podcast page and then find the latest podcast that

213
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: you want to listen to. So there's a lot of

214
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: work that goes into a podcast. We're on the radio,

215
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: it's pretty simple. It's full proof. Whatever whoever whatever idiots

216
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: in the radio box is on at the time, you're

217
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: in the car, and you listen to him, and if

218
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 1: you like him and I you flip the button you

219
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: go to a different station. But uh, but no, I

220
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: mean the podcast. At some point I have a feeling, well,

221
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: I will just when when I'm done with radio and

222
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: I want to just work. I have the podcast studio

223
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: set up, so I'll just do that. But I love radio.

224
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: I love I love the the live reaction we get

225
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: in radio. So what else? Pierre from Springfield, mass home

226
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: of the Pro Basketball of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts, says, uh,

227
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: we're Muffett McGraw's inshrine. Ben. Now that you dropped the

228
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: cartoon anvil down on the head of Ned Flanders, should

229
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: any other co workers be looking over their shoulder? It says,

230
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: maybe someone on the the podcast. So he says, no, no, no, Pierre,

231
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 1: I don't know that that is the case. Uh. The

232
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: most part, I'm mostly mellow, but every once in a

233
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: while and someone hits my button, then I will explode

234
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: into Mount Mallard a volcanic eruption co boom. But doesn't happen,

235
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: though doesn't A few times a year that will happen,

236
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: and usually it is directly related. There's a correlation between

237
00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: sleep schedule and uh you know have you know certain

238
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: things go wrong, hey wire that are out of out

239
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: of my control, that drive me to the edge. So

240
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: as long as those things don't happen, I'm pretty most

241
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: of the time. Yeah. I remember I had a producer

242
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: one time I had screamed at and I asked him,

243
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: I said, would you rather me be a small asshole

244
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: every day or pretty mellow and then every once in

245
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: a while be a total asshole? Yeah? Yeah, he picked that. Yeah,

246
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: So I try to no one's perv. I don't know

247
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: anyone that never gets angry or upset and overreacts and uh,

248
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: you know, acts like an idiot and all that. I mean,

249
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: I I I'm as guilty as anybody, but I try

250
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: to I try to limit that. But you know, some points, Pierre,

251
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: We're all fallible, right, We're all human, we all funk up.

252
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: So anyway. Uh. Pierre also says, did you ever imagine

253
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 1: a day where you would look forward to working with

254
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: wreck itt Ralph compared to the other guy He looks

255
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: like a regular George Michael and his sports machine. Yeah,

256
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 1: you know, it was very odd this week. And you know,

257
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: record Ralph has been a rival. And I've known Ralph

258
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: since I worked in San Diego back in the day

259
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: million years ago. I was a young pup intern in

260
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: San Diego and Ralph and I have been in the

261
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: business side by side all these years later, and we

262
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: always tell old stories about hacksaw and go back the

263
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: old days. But um, yeah, I know, I I loved

264
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: when I saw you know, Ralph on the schedule, and

265
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: it was it was it was a joy. Now this

266
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: and there's things about Ralph that annoy me too, But

267
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: overall compared to what we had earlier in the week,

268
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: the hostile takeover. I'm I'm all about record Roup. I'm

269
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: all about record row. Alright, the mail bag, back to

270
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: it we go, Who is next? Jason in Rocky Mount, Virginia.

271
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: Jason and Rocky Mount Virginia. He says, big Bat. I

272
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: thought you may have been a little tough on Brian,

273
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: but it seems like you put him in his place

274
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: as he sat there and sucked his thumb the rest

275
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: of the week. Do you feel like now whenever he

276
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: fills in the twenty seven minute updates are finally over

277
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: and I listen is a topic. We're gonna get a

278
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: lot of questions in the mail bag about what happened? Uh?

279
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: And do I think it's over? I think it's over

280
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: for a while. I think it's over for a while.

281
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: But what happened here, as we said, it was a

282
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: hostile takeover? And Brian thought that I would just sit

283
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: there and take incoming incoming weapons, uh torpedoes being directed

284
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: at me, and uh, I said, you know, I said, well, surprise, motherfucker.

285
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: I'm not in the mood to do that. And then

286
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: I had to go nuclear. I had to go down

287
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: the nuclear option. And you heard what happened during the

288
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: radio show at the beginning of of Eddie Garcia's a

289
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: vacation week, and so it ended up where Brian had

290
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: to make a hasty retreat to the corner. And hate

291
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: when that hate when that happens. So keep in mind though.

292
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: One of the issues that we have with the overnight

293
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: is we have a fair amount of anchors, but as

294
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: I understand it, what I've heard through the grapevine is

295
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: a number of them are not interested, are not interested

296
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: in working the overnight hours. And it is a tough schedule.

297
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: The shift is not for everyone. You've got to have

298
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: some hair on your chest. And two stopsterman. Anybody that

299
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: works the overnight any job, whether you're in radio or not,

300
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: it can be a grind and it's not for everybody.

301
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: And so we only have a few people that are

302
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: willing willing to do it. Uh and uh. And so

303
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: it's a short list. It's a shortlist. Whose who else

304
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: is on the email? Jennifer Enrichmond, Virginia says Hi, Ben

305
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: and other guy. If you were taking a stroll on

306
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: a path through the woods and came across a large

307
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: oak tree, swarming with bees? What would you do? Jennifer writes,

308
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: if more than one he started attacking and stinging as

309
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: you proceeded to run like the wind, how else would

310
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: you get them off of you? Would you roll on

311
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: the ground, jump in the nearby creek, cuss them off?

312
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: I really want to know, says Jennifer. That's a great question.

313
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: This is a unique question, Jennifer, and I want to

314
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: thank you for that, because I don't think we've ever

315
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: gotten this question. And you know, a lot of times

316
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: the questions all kind of sound the scene after a while,

317
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: but listen to good job by you. The crowd goes

318
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: wild for you, Jennifer. That, uh, this is the anque question.

319
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: So if I am strolling on a path through the

320
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: woods and I come across a large oak tree swarming

321
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: with bees, uh, of the options you laid out, I

322
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: would choose to jump in the creek. I think rolling

323
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: on the ground you would likely end up rolling on

324
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: some bees. You'd end up getting stung stung that way,

325
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: so I don't think that would be the way to go. Uh.

326
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: And I'm pretty confident that bees don't mind bad language,

327
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: that you can curse and bees won't really care so

328
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: all the options you laid out, I'm saying, what else

329
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: Off the top of my head, you you could do.

330
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: I guess you could take a if you could do

331
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: it quick enough. A branch or is Adrian Pearson said,

332
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: back into a switch, Uh, you know, and you could

333
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: take that switch and start whacking away like your you know,

334
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: whoever your favorite baseball player is, and just just go

335
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: for it an attempt to knock that you know what

336
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: out of out of the bees. I mean that that

337
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: would be the other option, but that you've gotta be

338
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 1: quick enough, and you've got to get a branch that

339
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: can be like a Louisville slugger. And if you fail,

340
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 1: if you fail to do that quick enough, well that

341
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: will not end. That will not end well. So the bees.

342
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: It will not be the bee's knees. It will be

343
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: the bees. Dinner will be with That is all right?

344
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: What is next here? Ronnie Date from Casey says, would

345
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: you ever consider doing a fifth hour podcast with some

346
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: of the lame jokes you're not allowed to read on

347
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: the Mallard Show. Well, Ronnie, we get this question a lot.

348
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: I think we've answered in the past, but let me

349
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: be very clear and to the point. I would love

350
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: to do that, but there are long term ramifications. The

351
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 1: Wokesters have no sense of humor. Life would be so

352
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: much better for all of us if people could just

353
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: laugh and and have fun and have a good time

354
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,239
Speaker 1: and not everything has to be the most offensive thing

355
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: in the world. Not everything has to be the worst

356
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: thing in the world. Uh. And but the problem, Ronnie,

357
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: and I'll give you the Jeopardy answer to you and

358
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: to the other people, I'm sure we'll continue to answer

359
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: this question, or send the question and ask me to

360
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 1: answer the question. So the the guy that was going

361
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: to be the Jeopardy host. One of the things that

362
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: took him down other than the fact that he was

363
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: asked to nate to I'm the next Jeopardy host and

364
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: just named himself, which takes a hell of a lot

365
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: of hutzpah, but the guy also had a bunch of

366
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: old podcasts that were comedy podcast where he was doing

367
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: comedy and it was, as I remember as racial stuff

368
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: I believe it was, and people were holding that against

369
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: him and saying that this guy can't host Jeopardy because

370
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: he did a podcast where he he did some comedy

371
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 1: and it was offensive comedy that's the problem. Like the jokes,

372
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: many of the jokes we don't read are tremendously racist

373
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: to the wokesters. Uh, they're they're sexist, right, you know,

374
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: the usual, the usual stuff that gets people in trouble,

375
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: and so we have to avoid that. And if I

376
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: read them on the podcast, they'd be great, you'd laugh

377
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: your ass off. We they're funny jokes, they're good jokes,

378
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,199
Speaker 1: the kind of jokes I grew up on listening to

379
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 1: and some of my favorite comedians did that kind of comedy.

380
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: And but now if it's my name reading the jokes,

381
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, it's not gonna affect me

382
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: now per se. But you know, someday, if I have

383
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: to leave Fox Sports Radio and I want to go

384
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: work somewhere else, and and it's a it's a high

385
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: profile job, people will go back and start snooping around,

386
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: try to tear you down and see if they can

387
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: find any kind of mistake, right, any kind of mistake there.

388
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: And if they find it, they'll be like, yeah, they'll

389
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 1: be so excited, right, they'll be like, that is great,

390
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 1: we found something and we've we've gotten So you always

391
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: have to be on the defensive Yeah, Yeah, you gotta

392
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: play defense. You do even on a podcast. All right,

393
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: Lee in Phoenix, right, since says Ben. By the way,

394
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: guesscon had to step out. Lee, so you're you're not

395
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: going to get Guestscon here uh ripping you and taking

396
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: time out of his schedule to uh to assault you.

397
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: Uh he's busy anyway, Lie, says Ben. I just went

398
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: to a Guns and Roses concerts. So my question is

399
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: are you a fan of rock, of a rock band

400
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 1: or do you have any experience on going to a

401
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: rock concert? Lee, I've never been to a real rock concert,

402
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: never lived that. Life has not done it. Um, And

403
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: I do like rock. My I don't have the music

404
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: gene per say. I like music. I'm a big Johnny

405
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: Cash fan. That really resonates with me. Johnny Cash. I

406
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: listen to him more than anybody some of you know,

407
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 1: all this stuff's obviously been gone for a while, so

408
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: it's old stuff. Johnny Cash. I like that. And I

409
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:45,239
Speaker 1: have a very eclectic taste. My my wife bust my

410
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 1: balls all the time because I when I listen to music,

411
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: I don't really listen to the actual lyrics. It's more

412
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: the rhythm and if I like the rhythm. I can

413
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: listen to some really dumb songs. When you actually listen

414
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: to the lyrics and read the lyrics, it's like, holy crap,

415
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 1: I can't believe I like that. But I'd like the rhythm.

416
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: I enjoy the rhythm and and so that's that's what

417
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: I went too. But I've never been to a rock

418
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: a rock concert. I would like to do that. The

419
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: schedule I have is not not generally a kind of

420
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: going going to concerts. Queen Roxanne writes in and she

421
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: had a question about Benny versus the penny, But this

422
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: is the Sunday podcast and she's still asking bad job

423
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: by you. She also wanted to know can we release

424
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: the podcast a little earlier so she can listen and

425
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 1: everyone else can listen before the NFL games begin. Yes,

426
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: we started that. You can thank Adrian in Denver. I

427
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 1: believe it was Adrian who said, hey, can you put

428
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: the podcast up earlier? So we start the podcast? It

429
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: is available to download. I forget. I think it's like,

430
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: I want to say, four am Pacific, seven am in

431
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 1: the East, so you're in the Mountain time zone, Queen

432
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: Roxanne in Colorado. So that would be if Mallard math

433
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: is correct. Uh, five am, that should be early enough.

434
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: You've got like a five hour window before the five

435
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: hour I think I have a five hour window before

436
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: the game's kickoff. They said there would be no math.

437
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: They said there would be no math, and she she

438
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: also put in here there there was a heart heart

439
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: emoji thing here for for Gagon, which is I was

440
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: offended by that that you gave him the hard eyes

441
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: and I didn't get the hard eyes you gave those

442
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: two guests on Blind Emmett one of our favorites. This

443
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: kid's studies in high school. Man, this guy's one of

444
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: the great callers in the show and he's only in

445
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: high school. Imagine how good he's gonna be when he

446
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: reaches his calling prime. When is your talk radio calling prime?

447
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: That might not be till your fifties or sixties. I mean,

448
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: I got guys that are in their seventies that are

449
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,959
Speaker 1: calling the show. They've been calling the show since they

450
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 1: were in their forties, So I actually guess not fourties, fifties,

451
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: but crazy anyway. Blind Emmett the Seahawk fan and Olympia

452
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 1: Washington going back to school now, he says, what's the

453
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: craziest food combo, you guys have had so so at

454
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: first of I don't do a lot of craziness on

455
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 1: the food. I don't know when I was in high school. Uh,

456
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: you know, and you'll experience this. I'm sure it's not

457
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: different people. Society changes, but people are generally the same. Uh.

458
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: And you go out with your friends and you have

459
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: you have a good time. And if you're at a restaurant.

460
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: I remember said to McDonald's and one of the guys

461
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: at the table said, hey, um, there was some food

462
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: that was left in the McDonald's rapper there. It was

463
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: like a it was a quarter pounder. It wasn't a

464
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: big mac, as I remember, And it was like a

465
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: quarter of a big mac that was eaten by somebody

466
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: on the table. And there were some some stuff. There

467
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: was some sauce packets. Uh. There were some things that

468
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: were like random fries and a few other things that

469
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: had just been around the table. Uh. And then it

470
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 1: was all like piled on top of each other, and

471
00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 1: they they added a bunch of other sauces. They mixed

472
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: all these McDonald's sauces together. And it doesn't sound that bad,

473
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: I guess, but at the time, as I remember it

474
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: it was like pretty disgusting the pile of stuff, and

475
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: I thought I was like in the circus, you know,

476
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: and it was it was a clown of a clown

477
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: or something going on. But I did it. I ate it,

478
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 1: and I got a couple of bucks out of it.

479
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: I love a good food challenge. We've done food challenges

480
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: on the show. We've had Cooper Loop will eat anything.

481
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: I had read one time that the person that invented

482
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: uh petroleum jelly uh would eat that a spoonful of

483
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: that every day. And thought that vasoline was the key

484
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: to longevity, and we we looked it up online as

485
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 1: I was safety to take vasoline, and so Cooper Loop,

486
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 1: knowing that Coop is a garbage disposal, we had him.

487
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: If you're new to the show, we had a listener

488
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: actually came by with a little container of vasoline and

489
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: we had a spoon we ou out of the kitchen

490
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 1: and on the air, Coop ate a spoonful of a vasoline.

491
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: Not a spoonful of sugar, a spoonful of vasoline, and

492
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 1: we were all like, man, what are you doing? I mean,

493
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: but he did it and he's still here, so you

494
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: won't kill you. I don't know that it makes it

495
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: live any longer. And then we also had a when

496
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: Jay Moore was doing a show at fs ARE back

497
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: in the day. He had some um food I forget,

498
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: I forget the name. It was a hot dog place,

499
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: might have been that big hot dog chain. Anyway, they

500
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: brought some hot dogs over and there was there were

501
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: a couple of dogs that were sitting in the room,

502
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: had been sitting in room all day. And as I remember,

503
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 1: we were like, why can't him you know that bleeping

504
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: hot dog and uh and you say that, but yeah,

505
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: hot dog and it somehow he ended up on the air.

506
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: It was like, well, Coop, would you do it? And

507
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: how much money would it taken. We came up with

508
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 1: a I forget how much. It wasn't very much, and

509
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: we all put some money in and Coop ate a

510
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: hot dog that have been sitting around for um at

511
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: least a day, maybe a couple of days. It might

512
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 1: have been a couple of days. But he ate the

513
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 1: hot dog. But that's not a combo Emmett. That's just

514
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: one one food dish. Let's see Ozzy momentum. Ozzy momentum

515
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: very popular on social media. He writes in he says,

516
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: have either of you watched any Australian rules football, not

517
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: that garbage game rugby, our national sport, Ozzy rules football,

518
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: and what are your thoughts? It's our religion down here,

519
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: interested on your thoughts. Well, I'll give you my thoughts, Ozzie,

520
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: and the other guys is not here, so it's it's

521
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: just me now. I have not watched an entire AZZI

522
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: rules football game. I'm not, so I'm not gonna sit

523
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: here and say I have, and I don't watch it.

524
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: I watched paradically if it's on. I think Fox actually

525
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: has the TV deal here in the States, and seen

526
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of clips on YouTube. And I know a

527
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: few of the rules. I actually have. I have a

528
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: list of rules here comparing it to American football, and

529
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: it is much different. It's it's unique and the thing

530
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: that I remember, I'm not a fan of it, so

531
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: I don't don't confuse me as a fan. But if

532
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: I was from Australia when in Australia, act like an

533
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,239
Speaker 1: Australian and I would. I would be into it if

534
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: I grew up with it. But there's so many players

535
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: on the field. You've got two teams of twenty two players.

536
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: There's eight teen players on the field at each time

537
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: in these Aussie rules football, so you got three backups,

538
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: there's one injury replacement, and you're only allowed a certain

539
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: amount of substitutes, like conceivably in the NFL and the NBA,

540
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: you can make as many substitutions as you want as

541
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: long as they're in in the NFL before the next play,

542
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: and you have to change players during time outs in

543
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: the NBA and all that. The field also this over over,

544
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: you over over what I'm working Oval. That's the word, hello,

545
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: dummy Oval. Yeah, I got that wrong. The Oval field,

546
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: which is massive. It is two hundred in two yards

547
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: by a hundred and sixty nine so it's two football

548
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: fields by almost two football fields. So it's huge and

549
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: it's it's oval shaped. The word I just screwed up.

550
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: And it goes on Instead of sixty minutes, they go

551
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: eighty minutes because everything's different in Australia. As you know,

552
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: Ozzie momentum and it really is football like you have

553
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: to kick the ball through these middle. They have a

554
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: bunch of posts and I guess the ones in the

555
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: middle that's worth six points. But if you hit one

556
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: of the goal posts and the ball is deflected, it's

557
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: worth one point. And you can also get one point

558
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: if you kick it between a long goal post and

559
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: a short goal posts. All this minutia, and like defensively,

560
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: you you're allowed to block a kick, you can intercept it,

561
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: you can push off, uh you know you can, you can.

562
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: You know they can push you off the field. Players

563
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: can push you around or tackle you by grabbing you

564
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: below the shoulders a cord of the rules here that

565
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: I've got pulling you to the field. But if they

566
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: do tackle you, they are awarded a free kick from

567
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: the spot of the tackle. So there there is that.

568
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: And you can go any direction backwards forwards. All of

569
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: that nobody cares. And the one thing though, it's it's

570
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: kind of like football that you have to bounce the

571
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: odd shaped football or I guess it's called the football

572
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: every fifteen meters, which is sixteen a little over sixteen

573
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: yards for Americans that don't understand meters like most of us.

574
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: And so that's that's a big difference. And throwing the

575
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: ball is not a lot you have to it's only

576
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: the bounce pass. It's it's only the bounce pass. But

577
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: they have this thing called the mark, which is a

578
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: it's kind of the same same deal as a past,

579
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: but you kick it and you can kick it like

580
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: along like a punt in American football, and it has

581
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: to go fifteen meters or more and if a teammate

582
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: catches it without the ball bouncing on the ground, the

583
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: player is then awarded a free kick from that spot.

584
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: So that's like a big game changing play. Uh. And

585
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: you have ten seconds the key thing, the mark. If

586
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: you get that, you have ten seconds like a free kick,

587
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: and then there's one version we get thirty seconds, but

588
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: I don't know how that works. And they have this

589
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: thing called the specy where you're allowed to push anyone

590
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: in the back, but if there's a marking contest and

591
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: an opponent is standing in your way, you are allowed

592
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: to use their back for elever. So I guess you're

593
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: not allowed to push anyone in the backs what I

594
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: meant to say. And but if there's a marking con test,

595
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: you are allowed to jump on them like a trampoline

596
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: and catch the ball. And that's why we have some

597
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: of those crazy highlights. Some of those wild and crazy

598
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: highlights come from that. And there's a bunch of penalty.

599
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I ain't going into this and go on

600
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: and on. It's like do a deep dive on Ausy

601
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: rules football. But there's a a bunch of these penalties

602
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: that it's uh fifty fifty meter penalties, fifty six yards

603
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: or fifty four yards for arguing, disputing decisions pretty much

604
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: anything talking to the official, which they call the umpire.

605
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: You're screwed. But I would love I'll tell this Ausi woman,

606
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: how about it someday. I'm I'm sure my my wife

607
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,479
Speaker 1: would take me to Australia. I'd love to do New

608
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: Zealand and Australia. I used to be on the radio

609
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: in New Zealand. I've got friends in New Zealand. I

610
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: know you Ausy Momentum, Ausy guy. There's a few other

611
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: p ones in the Mallard Militia. I think it would

612
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: be awesome to come to Australia and to hang out

613
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: and and I want to make that happen, so so

614
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: hopefully at some point we'll do that. And if that happens,

615
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: then I gotta go to an Ozzy rules game. I

616
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: would like to experience that because the energy in the

617
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: stadium is awesome. So I want to see if that

618
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: that vibe is as as real as authentic uh in person?

619
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: All right, thank you for that. I was much longer

620
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: answer than I planned, Azzy momentum, But that's the way

621
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: of the world. You'll have to wait because the the

622
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: other guy is is not here. It is not here.

623
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: But as you said, it's your religion's kind of like

624
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: in in the in the States. Here, American football, the

625
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 1: NFL is the religion. It's the zeitgeist of the times.

626
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 1: And all uh ben this email from Adrian in the

627
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: Mile High City. Uh. He says, have either of you

628
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: ever caught a home run ball at a baseball game?

629
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: How about a foul ball? Well? The the only He

630
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: then tells the story, said, the only home run ball

631
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: I ever got was a moonshot pulled down the right

632
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: field line at corps Field by Larry Walker back in

633
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: and Adrian says he remembers it well because it's the

634
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: only home run ball that he ever got. His dad

635
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 1: got Fourth of July fireworks tickets. That's good dad, right,

636
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: you got the fireworks show after the game. Way to go.

637
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 1: The whole family was their second deck at course Field

638
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: out in right field and Larry crushed the ball, Adrian says,

639
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: and it's speeding closer and closer right at us. The

640
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: ball ended up bouncing off an empty seat a few

641
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: rows behind where we were sitting. It bounced off the

642
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: empty seat, hit my sister in the back, and right

643
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: off my sister, and it rolled down the aisle, and

644
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 1: that's where I began to chase. He said. At the

645
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 1: time he had a broken left arm, and uh, he

646
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: was using his cast and sort of shield. Let's get

647
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: strategy to shield other people with the cast. That's like

648
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: NFL lineman. We'll do that. We'll have like a broken

649
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: hand or finger or something like that. I'll have a

650
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 1: big cast and they'll use that as a mallet, as

651
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,919
Speaker 1: like a cartoon mallet. That's a that's a solid move.

652
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 1: And he says he was able to grab it somehow,

653
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: rolled right down under a flight of stairs towards the concourse,

654
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 1: and he had the souvenir. Well, to answer your question,

655
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: I as a fan, I got one baseball that I remember.

656
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: There was a couple that I got a lot of

657
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: batting practice I I learned as a fan. I don't

658
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: know if this is still the case, but when I

659
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: was a kid. Nobody went to batting practice, and I

660
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: grew up in Orange Canics. I actually went to the

661
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: Big A more than I went to Dodger Stadium, and

662
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: I would go out early and they were really bad

663
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: about cleaning up the baseballs that were hit over the

664
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: right field fence in Anaheim, and back in those days,

665
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: it was a football stadium, and so there was a

666
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: gap between the fence, the actual outfield fence in the

667
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 1: warning track, and then you had the actual stands. And

668
00:36:56,239 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 1: I had Jerry rigged a watch m a hall it,

669
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: which was a plastic cup and a string. I literally

670
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: used a plastic cup and a string because you couldn't

671
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: get down and reach where the balls were, and I

672
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: would the suction and I had to put a weight

673
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: on this plastic cup. It's one of the cooler things

674
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: that I did as a I was like in high

675
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: school at the time, but I remember taking this thing

676
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: and I got a lot of baseballs that way. I

677
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 1: don't know who hit him and all that, but it

678
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: was a very effective tool. And then they caught onto

679
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: that because they would recycle the baseballs and they had

680
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: some old dude who would run through and try to

681
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: grab the home run balls as quickly as they were

682
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: hit because they were losing too many of the balls.

683
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: Two punk kids like myself, And after I was doing it,

684
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: some other people started joining it, and it was a

685
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: it was on. It was on everyone's like, wait a minute, here,

686
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: what the dog doing? Yeah, you know what you're doing.

687
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,240
Speaker 1: And it turned out we were we were taking away

688
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: from the rain baseballs that were being hit. Uh anyway,

689
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 1: but I also got one from Jeffrey Leonard during a game,

690
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 1: The hack Man, Jeffrey Leonard, great star baseball. He was

691
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: at the end of his career. But foul ball down

692
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: the line, Big a fat kid Ben comes up to

693
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 1: the foul poll and I remember yelling, hey hack Man,

694
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: Hey hack Man, because I remember his nickname. I even

695
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: though he played for the Giants, he was originally a Dodger,

696
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:24,919
Speaker 1: and he played for the Giants, and he had that

697
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,760
Speaker 1: home run trot where you're mad dog, he's mad dog

698
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: the opponent, and he had the arm flap one flap down,

699
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 1: and so I liked his style. I liked his bravado,

700
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: and I yelled the Hackman and he tossed the ball

701
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: to me, and that that moment when you think, like

702
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: everyone in the stadiums looking at you, and and most

703
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: people aren't. It's time you think everyone's looking at you.

704
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 1: And then you have that do I catch it? Do

705
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: I not catch it? I gonna drop it? And m

706
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: I gonna drop it on the field? Is somebody gonna

707
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: come over my back and get the ball? Like all

708
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: these thoughts are going through your head at the same time,

709
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: and uh, and then finally you get the ball and

710
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 1: it's great. And I had several in the press box

711
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 1: when I was in radio. I had a Chad Cruder,

712
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 1: who was a backup catcher for the Dodgers, foul the

713
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: ball off shattered my laptop in a million pieces. And uh,

714
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 1: I'm still bitter about that, still bitter about that all

715
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 1: these years later. And there are there were a few

716
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: other incidents that took plays. Uh. Adrian says, can you

717
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: share any prop action plays you would put down on

718
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:32,919
Speaker 1: the Denver New York Giants game today? I like the Broncos. Uh. Yeah,

719
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: I gave the pick out. I gave the pick out

720
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 1: on Benny versus the penny. But I I am on

721
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: the on the side there. I generally like Denver in

722
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: the game, although the line I don't like Road favorites.

723
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: I try to avoid road favorites. But they're the better team,

724
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: and I expect the defense to to do very well.

725
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 1: Did that be very surprised if Daniel Jones and the

726
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: Giants offense explodes? Uh? In Teddy Bridgewater. If I'm right

727
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: about Teddy Bridgewater, he's been very good p pfittably over

728
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: the years. That uh, Teddy is is the guy that

729
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: you want to bet on. He's the guy that you

730
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: want to you want to bet on because you're're gonna

731
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: win money most of the time. Cliff from Nashville, right,

732
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: So we'll do a few more here on the mail

733
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:19,919
Speaker 1: back Cliff and Nashville has been My wife has been

734
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: sick out lately. She she has criticized, but lately she

735
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: has criticized everything I do. Is that a sign she's

00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: a recovering Yes? Yes, that is a sign. Your wife

737
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: is on the road to health, on the road to hell.

738
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: So you're in good shape there. Who else do we have? Uh,

739
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: let's see page down here page DWN vaults. Fan Jimmy says,

740
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 1: did you buy your first car or did your parents

741
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: buy it for you? None of you? Boff. My grandfather,

742
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: my grandfather's old car, a Volari, a brown Valeri, which

743
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 1: I love because you know, anybody who's a teenager and

744
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: gets a car, you love it. But it had the

745
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,760
Speaker 1: most comfortable seats and it was very big and roomy

746
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: on the inside, and I loved it. Was ugly and

747
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: I would never buy a brown car. But at the

748
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: time I thought this was it just reeked of the

749
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: eighties and the seventies. I don't even remember what year

750
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:09,760
Speaker 1: it was. I think it was like in the seventies

751
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: the car was made and I got it, uh much

752
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: later than that. But I loved that car. I was great,

753
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: loved it. I absolutely loved it. Who else do we

754
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: have here? Ronnie D from Casey says, do you have

755
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,240
Speaker 1: the Mallard oath memorized or do you have it written

756
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 1: down at your desk? I have it memorized, but occasionally

757
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: I forget something, so I do have a copy of it. Ronnie,

758
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I'll be honest there. I do

759
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: have a copy of it here because I don't want

760
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: to make the mistake like some of the callers do,

761
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,920
