0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Ben Mallard, Danny g And It's the twenty sixth day

0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:52.240
<v Speaker 1>of November. A glorious Sunday, and the fifth ur podcast

0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>here Danny As we had football on Thursday, we had

0:00:55.920 --> 0:01:01.280
<v Speaker 1>the Dolphin Jet game. On Friday, that Black Friday game,

0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>and then on Saturday we had college football and now

0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>today more NFL football. So we got a little football

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:08.559
<v Speaker 1>and they've got a game tomorrow, so there's a little

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:09.520
<v Speaker 1>football like every day.

0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 3>If Mark Davis had any brains, he'd be on the

0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:15.919
<v Speaker 3>phone with the league office and try to take ownership

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:18.840
<v Speaker 3>of the Black Friday game. It should be the Silver

0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 3>and Black Friday.

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's a great idea.

0:01:21.760 --> 0:01:24.400
<v Speaker 3>I like that. It's a good idea here. Every year

0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:27.280
<v Speaker 3>he should do that hosting in Vegas. That would be

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:30.960
<v Speaker 3>a great Turkey after Turkey holiday.

0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:33.600
<v Speaker 1>You're missing your calling, Dan. He should be on Madison

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Avenue working in marketing. You could do branding and marketing

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>and that's that's great.

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.679
<v Speaker 3>And my favorite team, the Raiders. They won your bet

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 3>for you last weekend.

0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:45.960
<v Speaker 1>I did. I appreciate that very much. I think the

0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Raiders who are playing their number one and I gave

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.240
<v Speaker 1>this stat on the TV show this weekend. The Raiders

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 1>are the number one scoring defense in the NFL since

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Antonio Pierce took over. Of course, it does help that

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:00.919
<v Speaker 1>they played the Jets and the Giants in that stretch,

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 1>but the Dolphins are legit and they kept the Dolphins

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 1>from scoring too many points. The reason the Raires lost

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 1>that game was not because of the fact that they

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:14.080
<v Speaker 1>were having problems defensively keeping the Dolphins from scoring, because

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.080
<v Speaker 1>they only scored twenty points or whatever it was in

0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 1>that game, well on very many points.

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 3>So it was because they were too conservative there right

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:23.080
<v Speaker 3>before halftime, taking the field goal even though they had

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.560
<v Speaker 3>time to go into the end zone, and then at

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 3>the end of the game. They had those scoring opportunities

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 3>where they decided to not be conservative and go for

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 3>it on fourth downs. Had they taken those field goals

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.600
<v Speaker 3>at the end of the game, they could have won

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 3>on a field goal in that final drive.

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Unfortunately did not work out that way, but they did

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 1>win the bet, which I'm happy about and so good

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>for me. Let's see what happens this weekend and all

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 1>that is Patrick Mahoney.

0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 3>I hear he's coming in angry because he's awful loss.

0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Angry Mahomes, Angry Mahomes. We still got those crappy wide receivers.

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 1>See what plays out this week. On this podcast, we

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 1>have Pop Goes the Culture and the mail Bag. The

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 1>mail Bag, We'll start with Pop Goes the Culture. Well,

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.799
<v Speaker 1>here's something that everyone needs in their lives. Danny coming

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 1>in January to Seattle Sonic Symphony, a live Sonic the

0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>Hedgehog music show. I didn't know this was a thing.

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Is this a thing? I guess it is. I guess

0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:28.119
<v Speaker 1>it has been a thing. It began its run back

0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:32.519
<v Speaker 1>in September. I had not heard about this. Live shows

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 1>in London. Also, Paris came through La Boston, Chicago, and

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 1>it's heading towards Sonic the Hedgehog, heading towards Seattle. They

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>have a show. This is how I learned about it.

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>They're celebrating the thirtieth anniversary. Thirtieth anniversary, which actually was

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 1>back in twenty twenty one, but since everything, I guess

0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 1>was shut down with the COVID stuff still, then here

0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 1>we are. They're having a big, big party, big fun.

0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 1>So that's sign me up for that. I think I'm

0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.880
<v Speaker 1>good on that. Have you ever watched squid games? Any

0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>squid games? You into that at all? Yeah, lawyers are

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:16.680
<v Speaker 1>getting involved now in squid games, the squid Games, the Challenge.

0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:23.280
<v Speaker 1>The players want compensation because they're getting injured and they

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 1>would like to be paid. They would like to be paid,

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.159
<v Speaker 1>or their lawyers would like to be paid. It says

0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:34.240
<v Speaker 1>contestants of Squid Games, the Netflix TV show that the

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Challenge are seeking compensation for injuries they allegedly suffered on

0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:42.479
<v Speaker 1>the show. So they've lawyered up, and it's very hard

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:46.320
<v Speaker 1>to find an ambulance chasing lawyer and players competed in

0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 1>the the Oh.

0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:50.200
<v Speaker 3>I just looked it up. I thought you were talking

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:54.040
<v Speaker 3>about the original movie that was really popular. I thought

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:56.000
<v Speaker 3>this is squid Games.

0:04:56.040 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 1>The challenge, yeah, the Netflix thing? Yeah into that at

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:01.240
<v Speaker 1>all or nothing?

0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:02.839
<v Speaker 3>Haven't seen the challenge?

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.920
<v Speaker 1>All right? Well I have not either. It's done very well.

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:10.680
<v Speaker 1>But now it's done so well that the lawyers are

0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 1>involved in like, hey, we would like we would like

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 1>some money, and we would like to be paid. We

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.280
<v Speaker 1>would like a nice compensation because our persons, our people

0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:20.680
<v Speaker 1>are getting hurt and there's a ton of money. The

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Netflix thing, like, you don't know for sure how many

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 1>people are actually watching any of these streaming shows because

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 1>there's no way to really track it. Like it's like television,

0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:32.440
<v Speaker 1>like a show that I'm doing on cable, you can

0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 1>keep track how many people are watching stuff like that,

0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 1>But on on Netflix or Amazon Prime or those type

0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.359
<v Speaker 1>of things that you don't really know how many people

0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.599
<v Speaker 1>are watching it. But Netflix is worth a ton of money.

0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:46.800
<v Speaker 1>So the lawyers are like, hey, we would like to

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 1>get a piece of the action. So remember that show

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.279
<v Speaker 1>that Joe Rogan hosted. What was that show called Back

0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.279
<v Speaker 1>in the Day on NBC where they did crazy challenges?

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:56.600
<v Speaker 3>Fear Factor?

0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, fear Factor. They got sued too. I remember I

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:03.400
<v Speaker 1>remember hearing a lawsuits involving that So speaking of lawsuits,

0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:05.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean they're there everywhere. We can just do a

0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:10.840
<v Speaker 1>segment on lawsuits. The here's one. This is a passenger

0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 1>who's claiming that airlines offer imported dog food to customers.

0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:26.479
<v Speaker 1>A guy traveling with China Eastern Airlines, and he showed

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:31.600
<v Speaker 1>a picture of the business class menu and the people

0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:34.200
<v Speaker 1>were like blown away. This thing went viral this week,

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 1>the guy on Facebook. It was a picture of the

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:41.160
<v Speaker 1>menu drawings attention. It drew attention to a disturbing occurrence.

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Several dishes were offered, including appetizers, soup, breads, and desserts.

0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Among the array of dishes the dog food option. So

0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:53.320
<v Speaker 1>they literally they didn't even like hide it. They're like, hey,

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 1>we've got we've got doc now is it possible that

0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 1>they put that on there in case people were traveling

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.200
<v Speaker 1>with their dogs? But I'm looking at it here and

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:08.719
<v Speaker 1>it says smoked pepper, beef, vanilla shrimp, imported dog food.

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Like it literally said imported dog food on the menu.

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, are people like into eating dog food? I know,

0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 1>I've heard urban legends that sometimes old people eat dog food.

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.880
<v Speaker 3>The other day there was leftover gravy, uh huh, and

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.840
<v Speaker 3>my wife. He slopped it on top of this to

0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:32.560
<v Speaker 3>go container for our oldest and it looked like Alpo.

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.840
<v Speaker 1>That dogs licked that whole thing, and.

0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:38.000
<v Speaker 3>I thought, but what an old reference Alpo?

0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, Now we got into a debate. We we

0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.400
<v Speaker 1>talked about this on the podcast last week. There was

0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 1>this debate whether or not dry or wet dog food,

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 1>like what is better for the dog, the dry or

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 1>the wet. And now human food is better dry or wet?

0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Is food better? Like you pour gravy all over something.

0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Most of the food we eats pretty dry, right, I

0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:08.800
<v Speaker 1>would think, like chips, there's not no moisture and chips, nuts, candy,

0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:09.640
<v Speaker 1>that kind of stuff.

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:13.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. And now there's the companies who sell the healthy

0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 3>dog food that goes in your refrigerator, the fresh food

0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:18.840
<v Speaker 3>for dogs.

0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm good on that. I'm all right on that. Well,

0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:25.880
<v Speaker 1>here's another story. We get tons of these on the

0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Fifth Hour podcast. Tourists left stranded in the Nevada desert

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:34.079
<v Speaker 1>because they followed the map the you know the map

0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.400
<v Speaker 1>on your phone. It took them on a short cut

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 1>and they ended up stranded in the middle of nowhere

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:41.199
<v Speaker 1>in Nevada.

0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:43.800
<v Speaker 3>And sounds like when you were the pace car.

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I did not even know those roads existed.

0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:49.120
<v Speaker 1>I had no idea that those roads existed out there.

0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:52.959
<v Speaker 1>But they were traveling back to Vegas through Olt from

0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:57.079
<v Speaker 1>LA to Vegas, and they took a short cut and

0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:00.400
<v Speaker 1>they ended up stuck on a dirt road. Apparently just

0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.200
<v Speaker 1>one car. There were a bunch of people that were

0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 1>led by Google Maps out to the middle of nowhere

0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:11.640
<v Speaker 1>and because there was I guess a delay on I fifteen,

0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:14.679
<v Speaker 1>which no, they never have those delays on I fifteen

0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:19.760
<v Speaker 1>between La and Vegas. And there you go a desert

0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:21.319
<v Speaker 1>road that doesn't even look like a road. I'm not

0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:23.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna photo to any it looks just like a it's

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:23.960
<v Speaker 1>just like dirt.

0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:25.520
<v Speaker 3>It's just dirt and.

0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:28.360
<v Speaker 1>All because there are actually paved roads out in the desert,

0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:31.080
<v Speaker 1>out in the middle of nowhere. And so these people

0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.959
<v Speaker 1>had to call nine to one one because they were

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.640
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of nowhere. We're stuck on a dirt road.

0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.280
<v Speaker 1>But at some point doesn't common sense kick in. We're like,

0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:42.560
<v Speaker 1>we're not gonna follow a map like the map's taking

0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.760
<v Speaker 1>as a place we shouldn't go. Maybe we ought to

0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.280
<v Speaker 1>go back to the highway and go back the way

0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:49.880
<v Speaker 1>we came. Do they ever do that? I don't. It

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:50.640
<v Speaker 1>doesn't seem like.

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:54.040
<v Speaker 3>It, no, because I mean I've been using the ways

0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:57.000
<v Speaker 3>app as long as you have. Yeah, and to a

0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:00.840
<v Speaker 3>lot of people, especially youngsters who maybe only been driving

0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:04.400
<v Speaker 3>for a few years, that's the bible. I mean, whatever

0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:06.760
<v Speaker 3>it says, you do that. So, I mean we've heard

0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 3>those funny stories about people driving into bodies of water

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:12.720
<v Speaker 3>because they're GPS told them to.

0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, oh yeah, those happened.

0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:16.240
<v Speaker 3>I now we.

0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:19.199
<v Speaker 1>Should make people go down to Triple A and get maps.

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:19.520
<v Speaker 3>Is what we should do.

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Danny.

0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:21.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, a Thomas Guide.

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Old school, right, Remember the Thomas Guide we had to

0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:26.599
<v Speaker 1>figure out we go on a family road trip and

0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:28.520
<v Speaker 1>the family had to get all the maps out to go,

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 1>figure out where to go and have what roads to

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:34.160
<v Speaker 1>take and all that. You didn't worry about the traffic.

0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Never worried about the traffic on that.

0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.800
<v Speaker 3>Back in the day, when we were in school, we

0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:43.880
<v Speaker 3>actually had to have a class about how to read maps.

0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, there's an art to it. Now you don't

0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:47.920
<v Speaker 1>have to worry about it just tells you exactly where

0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:49.199
<v Speaker 1>to go, and it might get you stranded in the

0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:52.959
<v Speaker 1>middle of nowhere on some dusty Winnemucca Road out in

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:57.240
<v Speaker 1>the middle of Nevada. Which Winnemucca Road is in Nevada. Oh,

0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:01.120
<v Speaker 1>here's a fun story. Super pigs are threatened invade the

0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:06.120
<v Speaker 1>northern states of the US. Here Canada super pigs. Do

0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:10.640
<v Speaker 1>you see this? An exploding population of hard to eradicate

0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:14.840
<v Speaker 1>superpigs in Canada is threatening to spill south of the border.

0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Do they not respect our sovereign nation. Northern states such

0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:22.880
<v Speaker 1>as our friends in Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana are

0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:27.960
<v Speaker 1>trying to stop the invasion of these super pigs in Canada.

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:33.360
<v Speaker 1>The wild pigs roaming Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba who hoose

0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:37.760
<v Speaker 1>a new threat. They are often crossbred and they combined

0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 1>the survival skills of the wild bore with the size

0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:47.439
<v Speaker 1>and high fertility of domestic swine to create the super pig,

0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:51.160
<v Speaker 1>and they have spread out of control. There's a report

0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:55.439
<v Speaker 1>from the University of Saskatchewan that says one of Canada

0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:59.679
<v Speaker 1>this is apparently authority on super pigs calls the feral

0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:03.240
<v Speaker 1>swane the most invasive animal on the planet and an

0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:07.720
<v Speaker 1>ecological train wreck. Watch out for the I wonder if

0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:09.520
<v Speaker 1>they taste good. You think people that eat pig and

0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:12.120
<v Speaker 1>stuff like super pigs because they taste they taste me.

0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.560
<v Speaker 1>And these are rather large, these super pigs I bought.

0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:16.720
<v Speaker 1>I looked at some photos. These are some big things.

0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.120
<v Speaker 1>They're not quite the size of a cow, but they're

0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:21.439
<v Speaker 1>not the size of your normal backyard pick. These things

0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:22.080
<v Speaker 1>are pretty big.

0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:23.960
<v Speaker 3>That's some thick bacon.

0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.840
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot of bacon. That is a lot of bacon.

0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:30.600
<v Speaker 1>So something else to worry about. I'd rather have those

0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:33.520
<v Speaker 1>than remember the killer bees that were here and I

0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:35.880
<v Speaker 1>guess are still here a couple of years ago.

0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:40.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, have you ever had candied bacon? I have not.

0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.280
<v Speaker 3>I bet you those super pigs when you make bacon

0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:46.640
<v Speaker 3>out of them, they just automatically taste like candied bacon.

0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Just put sugar all over them and you're good. Yeah,

0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:52.559
<v Speaker 1>it's like brown sugar. Well, anything with brown sugar is

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.480
<v Speaker 1>pretty good. You can't go wrong with brown sugar, you

0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.959
<v Speaker 1>really can't. What is next on pop goes the culture? Well,

0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Barbie has introduced the new toy. This is very exciting.

0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:04.560
<v Speaker 1>We're big Barbie guys, Danny. We grew up with Barbie,

0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:06.840
<v Speaker 1>unless we didn't, but I thought this was interesting.

0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:08.520
<v Speaker 3>Their latest tearing their heads off.

0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:14.320
<v Speaker 1>The latest barbie is Wilma Mankiller. They have introduced a

0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:22.440
<v Speaker 1>Wilma Mankiller doll, honoring Cherokee nations first female principal chief.

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:25.200
<v Speaker 3>So there you go.

0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Mankiller sounds sounds wonderful, available just in time for Christmas.

0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Sounds like a great idea. The late man Killer, a

0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:39.760
<v Speaker 1>social activist, led the Cherokee Nation in what is now

0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:44.080
<v Speaker 1>present day Oklahoma for ten years and I guess not

0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:47.240
<v Speaker 1>that long ago, from nineteen eighty five to nineteen ninety five.

0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:48.640
<v Speaker 3>What a name.

0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:51.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking for, a Wilma Mankiller.

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:53.760
<v Speaker 4>I got it all over me.

0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:57.439
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's get to the mailbag. What do you

0:13:57.440 --> 0:13:58.559
<v Speaker 1>say you want to get? Oh, we want to get

0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:01.600
<v Speaker 1>the mail bag. We'll go to the mail That means

0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.760

<v Speaker 4>It's all right, thank you, Ohiol.

0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:25.040
<v Speaker 1>These are actual letters by actual listeners to the podcast.

0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:45.520
<v Speaker 1>you want just email whenever you want, all right, So

0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:48.920
<v Speaker 1>the first one is from Alf from Nascar. He says, Guys,

0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:54.320
<v Speaker 1>what's your position on traffic circles aka roundabouts? Where I

0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:59.120
<v Speaker 1>come from? Rotaries? They seem to be popping up here

0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:03.920
<v Speaker 1>like rabbits in the spring, says says Alf. So I

0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:06.360
<v Speaker 1>do not like traffic circles. They are a pain of

0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:08.520
<v Speaker 1>the behind. We don't have too many of them here

0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:13.160
<v Speaker 1>in southern California, but when I have traveled around the country,

0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I have had my run ins with traffic circles. The

0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:20.000
<v Speaker 1>worst place I ever went for traffic circles, and I

0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:23.640
<v Speaker 1>think this is the capital of traffic circles or roundabouts

0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:28.160
<v Speaker 1>or rotaries, as you say, Alf, would be in Indianapolis,

0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:30.040
<v Speaker 1>because I was there a long time ago. But when

0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.440
<v Speaker 1>I was driving around Indianapolis there were like so many

0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.480
<v Speaker 1>of these traffic circles, it was such a pain of

0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.040
<v Speaker 1>the behind. Danny, do you have a strong hot take

0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:39.240
<v Speaker 1>on traffic circles.

0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:43.720
<v Speaker 3>I was working for a radio station on the Central Coast,

0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:46.320
<v Speaker 3>or the South Central Coast as I called it, because

0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:49.240
<v Speaker 3>of all the Laker fans there in Pismo Beach in

0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:52.960
<v Speaker 3>Santa Maria, California, yeah, and there's lots of traffic circles

0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:55.920
<v Speaker 3>in the city of Santa Maria. I'm not sure why

0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.560
<v Speaker 3>you know Santa Maria. Well, I do for the Costco.

0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.800
<v Speaker 3>It's right in the room and I'm driving up to.

0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:05.680
<v Speaker 1>The beaches. Further up. We stopped by the Costco to

0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:06.160
<v Speaker 1>get gas.

0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:09.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Yeah. So, as I was doing morning drive on

0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:12.200
<v Speaker 3>the hip hop R and B station, I made a

0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:16.120
<v Speaker 3>declaration on the air that if the Lakers did not

0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:20.080
<v Speaker 3>snap their losing streak that they had back then, that

0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:24.200
<v Speaker 3>I was going to drive the radio station van in

0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:28.880
<v Speaker 3>a circle thirty times. In one of those roundabouts. I

0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.520
<v Speaker 3>lost the bet. I had to do it. And as

0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm live on my cell phone on the morning show

0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:38.320
<v Speaker 3>driving the van in the thirty circles, Santa Maria, PD

0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:39.840
<v Speaker 3>showed up and pulled me over.

0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 1>They pulled you over? Is that not allowed? Are you?

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Were you violating me?

0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:50.120
<v Speaker 3>I feel like a listener called it in or somebody

0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:53.320
<v Speaker 3>for the PD was listening, because it felt like they

0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:55.240
<v Speaker 3>were looking for me, if you know what I'm saying.

0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh, okay, maybe they were listening or something and they yeah, yeah,

0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:01.720
<v Speaker 1>did they give you a ticket or did they tell

0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:02.600
<v Speaker 1>you to knock it off.

0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:04.040
<v Speaker 3>He just told me to knock it off.

0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:08.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, Well, Indianapolis is known as the circle city,

0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:10.600
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think it's for the traffic circles. But

0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:12.800
<v Speaker 1>they do have a ton of They do have a

0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:16.760
<v Speaker 1>ton of traffic circles there, and not not a fact

0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:18.800
<v Speaker 1>because there's always like some people that don't know how

0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:22.520
<v Speaker 1>to handle the traffic circle. They they're too skittish, they

0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:24.720
<v Speaker 1>don't go into it fast enough. And then there's other

0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:28.119
<v Speaker 1>people that are too fast. Like there's a it's like

0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.960
<v Speaker 1>threading a needle. There's an art to it, and some

0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:32.359
<v Speaker 1>people just are tairible at it.

0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:34.760
<v Speaker 3>But I well, most people don't know who has the

0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:35.520
<v Speaker 3>right of way.

0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:39.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, they're not familiar. They passed the driving test,

0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.760
<v Speaker 1>but then they forgot everything they learned in the driving test.

0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Next up is Mike in Turkey Eaton, He says, Ben

0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:49.800
<v Speaker 1>and Danny g what do you guys think about Darryl

0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:53.359
<v Speaker 1>Hall obtaining a restraining order against John Oates? Are you

0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:56.440
<v Speaker 1>as devastated as I am? Or do you not care?

0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:59.840
<v Speaker 1>In the aftermath? Will you be joining team Hall or

0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:04.879
<v Speaker 1>team Oates? Mike says, And also, what was the standout

0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:07.960
<v Speaker 1>winner in your Thanksgiving spread this year, I have to

0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.200
<v Speaker 1>give the nod to turkey. Well that's a hot take, Mike.

0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Definitely not turkey at the Malor Mansion. I would give

0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:17.760
<v Speaker 1>the nod to the brisket with the mashed potatoes and

0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:20.639
<v Speaker 1>the mac and cheese on the side. Now, what was

0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:22.480
<v Speaker 1>your That's a good question for you, though, Danny, because

0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:28.200
<v Speaker 1>you had the ritzy Lucille's Barbecue home turkey where you

0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:30.080
<v Speaker 1>brought it home and you had to you heat it

0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:31.640
<v Speaker 1>up right, You had to put it back in the oven,

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:33.040
<v Speaker 1>heat it up a little bit. Is that correct?

0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:37.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? It was pre sliced, okay, but the turkey was smoked,

0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:39.639
<v Speaker 3>which we didn't like.

0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:41.640
<v Speaker 1>You didn't like it really, Okay, I.

0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:43.000
<v Speaker 3>Don't like smoke turkey.

0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:43.240
<v Speaker 2>No.

0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:46.159
<v Speaker 3>It had a weird aftertaste. But you know what was

0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:49.560
<v Speaker 3>really good? We did half turkey, half am. The honey

0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:54.080
<v Speaker 3>baked haam that Lucille's served was a plus. So for us,

0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:55.720
<v Speaker 3>the ham was the standout.

0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:58.040
<v Speaker 1>What about the did you get the biscuits? Did there

0:18:58.040 --> 0:18:58.919
<v Speaker 1>what side dishes?

0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:02.879
<v Speaker 3>Let's see mac and cheese stuffing. Oh, they have like

0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:03.800
<v Speaker 3>a corn cake.

0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that sounds good.

0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:09.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the corn cake was a favorite of the family.

0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:13.080
<v Speaker 1>And again, if you missed the Saturday podcast, you said

0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:15.159
<v Speaker 1>there were people lined up in a parking lot. There

0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:17.040
<v Speaker 1>was no lu seal sign. But these are like high

0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:17.879
<v Speaker 1>end vehicles.

0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:20.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean there were vehicles of all kinds in

0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:22.959
<v Speaker 3>the line. But I at first thought it was the

0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:25.760
<v Speaker 3>line was for needy people. But then I noticed some

0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:28.119
<v Speaker 3>of the cars in line were fancy cars, and I

0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:31.960
<v Speaker 3>was like, Oh, those people aren't here for free turkeys. Yeah.

0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well you never know, you never know. True.

0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:38.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, wealthy, stay wealthy.

0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Let's see here. Next up is from Dave in Florida.

0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:46.879
<v Speaker 1>He does not say where in Florida. Says Ben and Danny,

0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:49.159
<v Speaker 1>g If you guys could live here in Florida for free,

0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:53.719
<v Speaker 1>which part of the state would you choose? From Miami, Tampa,

0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Orlando or a small town? How about the Redneck Riviera?

0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:02.520
<v Speaker 1>You guys can live with Ed who fled. I think

0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:04.040
<v Speaker 1>we're good. I think we're good with that, right. We

0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:05.760
<v Speaker 1>don't need to live with Jed who fled? I think

0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:07.960
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't. Does he even live in a house. He's

0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:10.560
<v Speaker 1>always wandering around in the middle of the night, which

0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:14.879
<v Speaker 1>is troublesome. Calling the show from from that redneck riverer. No,

0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:17.520
<v Speaker 1>I've not been to Tampa. I've been to Miami, I've

0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:21.560
<v Speaker 1>been to Orlando. I haven't spent too much time in

0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:24.159
<v Speaker 1>Florida over the years. Miami was fine. It's just reminded

0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:29.280
<v Speaker 1>me of La just a flat La. Orlando seemed like

0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:32.399
<v Speaker 1>Orange County to me to relate to. There is actually

0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:36.359
<v Speaker 1>Orange County in Orlando. I guess if you're gonna live

0:20:36.359 --> 0:20:37.919
<v Speaker 1>in Florida, you gotta live on the beach, right, Why

0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:38.879
<v Speaker 1>would you live in Orlando?

0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:42.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Right, I was just gonna say Destin would be

0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:47.320
<v Speaker 3>the destination. And Clay Travis is building a huge mansion

0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:50.440
<v Speaker 3>there right now, so we should go crash his mansion

0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:51.280
<v Speaker 3>once it's built.

0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Now, is he leaving Tennessee to move to Florida or

0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:55.840
<v Speaker 1>he's just gonna that's gonna be his vacation home.

0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:58.960
<v Speaker 3>That's his vacation He already has a vacation home there,

0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:02.320
<v Speaker 3>but it's so he's in the middle of building a

0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:06.359
<v Speaker 3>multi million dollar mansion there in Destin on the beach.

0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:09.639
<v Speaker 1>Well, since you're gonna host the Animal Thunderdome with Clay

0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:12.879
<v Speaker 1>then and I do this podcast with you, then I

0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:16.320
<v Speaker 1>think we should be able to rent it out, not

0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:18.440
<v Speaker 1>rent it out, but like on a weekend he's not there.

0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:19.600
<v Speaker 1>I think we should be able to use it.

0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:20.840
<v Speaker 3>I agree with you.

0:21:21.359 --> 0:21:26.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure that'll solve it. Man, all right, Uh yeah,

0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:28.640
<v Speaker 1>you gotta live on the beach somewhere, Gary in Pittsburgh, right, Since,

0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:30.960
<v Speaker 1>says Ben and Danny G. The follow up to the

0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:34.439
<v Speaker 1>last Iowa Minute was, as they say Radio Gold, My

0:21:34.560 --> 0:21:38.000
<v Speaker 1>question is for Danny G, did he ever have an

0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Iowa Sam up to the elbow situation? After that revelation

0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:46.240
<v Speaker 1>from Iowa Sam, shouldn't the segment now be called the

0:21:46.480 --> 0:21:51.239
<v Speaker 1>Iowan d D edit or DDY it. I don't know,

0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:54.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm probably reading that wrong anyway, Gary says, who knows

0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:58.359
<v Speaker 1>what else that freak has done in the nation's heartland.

0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Keep up the great work. And if you forgot Iowa

0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Sam told the story that he was at someone else's house.

0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:09.240
<v Speaker 1>He went to do a number two and he clogged

0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:13.399
<v Speaker 1>the toilet. So he didn't see a plunger, so he

0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:18.960
<v Speaker 1>just used his hand to unclog the toilet. Oh oh natural,

0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:22.520
<v Speaker 1>oh natural. He just grabbed it and pulled the made

0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:25.520
<v Speaker 1>sure it was unclogged. And so he wants to know,

0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:28.000
<v Speaker 1>have you ever had that happen. Gary wants to know

0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:31.000
<v Speaker 1>if you've ever been at someone else's house and had

0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:31.760
<v Speaker 1>that situation.

0:22:33.200 --> 0:22:37.119
<v Speaker 3>Kell No, no, Yeah.

0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:38.760
<v Speaker 1>And the reason, I don't know if you're like me, Danny,

0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:41.760
<v Speaker 1>but I I do not poop at other people's homes.

0:22:41.920 --> 0:22:45.040
<v Speaker 3>I was gonna say that, and I avoid that at

0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:48.040
<v Speaker 3>all costs. They would have to be a real emergency

0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:51.560
<v Speaker 3>to feel comfortable doing that at somebody's house. And then

0:22:51.640 --> 0:22:54.160
<v Speaker 3>I would make sure that the bathroom smelled the right

0:22:54.200 --> 0:22:56.040
<v Speaker 3>way before I left the restroom.

0:22:56.960 --> 0:23:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I like the home field advantage when I'm going

0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:04.679
<v Speaker 1>number two. I do not like the foreign establishment. Now.

0:23:04.680 --> 0:23:07.760
<v Speaker 1>I have told the story the famous podcast where I

0:23:07.840 --> 0:23:11.600
<v Speaker 1>had my gallbladder taken out and it was fasting. I

0:23:11.640 --> 0:23:14.800
<v Speaker 1>was on a walk and I had to go in

0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:19.880
<v Speaker 1>a public restroom. It was great to see pooh, And yeah,

0:23:20.000 --> 0:23:23.520
<v Speaker 1>well I made a big mess because I misfired. I

0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:25.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to. You know, I don't need to get

0:23:25.560 --> 0:23:27.879
<v Speaker 1>into the story now, but yeah, I do not. I

0:23:27.880 --> 0:23:30.919
<v Speaker 1>don't even poop at families homes like I have the

0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:34.600
<v Speaker 1>in laws, forget friends. It's just I have a strong,

0:23:35.200 --> 0:23:38.320
<v Speaker 1>strong take on that. Jay Scoop writes in from the Ukraine.

0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Listening to the podcast, he says, Hey, fellow miss fellas,

0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:46.280
<v Speaker 1>miss y'all thought about you when I came upon this

0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:50.200
<v Speaker 1>word that I had never seen before until reading an article.

0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:55.119
<v Speaker 1>The word is bulwark pronunciation definition says he sent some

0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:58.159
<v Speaker 1>screenshots here. He says in relation to Ukraine trying to

0:23:58.200 --> 0:24:02.960
<v Speaker 1>defend energy plants from the intimate onslaught of Russian missiles

0:24:03.000 --> 0:24:07.399
<v Speaker 1>this winter. There's an article here and it said Ukraine

0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:12.680
<v Speaker 1>has also built bulwarks around facilities to shield them from

0:24:12.720 --> 0:24:17.680
<v Speaker 1>direct hits or debrize from missiles and drones. And he

0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:22.120
<v Speaker 1>sends a little scoop here, So I did this is interesting.

0:24:22.160 --> 0:24:24.919
<v Speaker 1>So I had not heard of the word of bulwark

0:24:25.000 --> 0:24:29.000
<v Speaker 1>either until you sent this, j scoop. And I guess

0:24:29.000 --> 0:24:30.880
<v Speaker 1>you could consider this a bonus word of the day.

0:24:30.880 --> 0:24:34.480
<v Speaker 1>But it goes back to the early fifteen hundreds. It

0:24:34.600 --> 0:24:39.639
<v Speaker 1>is a fortification outside a city wall or gate, a

0:24:39.800 --> 0:24:46.600
<v Speaker 1>rampant barricade. It's from Middle Dutch or Middle German. And

0:24:46.640 --> 0:24:51.240
<v Speaker 1>then there's another it's from the fifteenth century. There's a

0:24:51.280 --> 0:24:56.399
<v Speaker 1>couple of different origin stories on that. But anyway, so

0:24:56.440 --> 0:24:58.720
<v Speaker 1>there's a bulwork in jayscoop. I'll hope you know. Well,

0:24:58.720 --> 0:25:01.000
<v Speaker 1>if you're not familiar with Jason Jays, Scoop has been

0:25:01.040 --> 0:25:04.920
<v Speaker 1>a great contributor to the show. He's been a great

0:25:04.960 --> 0:25:07.800
<v Speaker 1>supporter of the show. And he is living abroad. He

0:25:07.880 --> 0:25:10.200
<v Speaker 1>is helping the military in the Ukraine. He's an ex

0:25:10.760 --> 0:25:14.280
<v Speaker 1>military guys. His family roots are from the Ukraine, served

0:25:14.280 --> 0:25:17.320
<v Speaker 1>in the military here and so he is out doing

0:25:17.400 --> 0:25:22.960
<v Speaker 1>his thing, working his magic. John in Northern Colorado writes,

0:25:23.000 --> 0:25:27.720
<v Speaker 1>and he says inside radio, question for you, fellas, how

0:25:27.720 --> 0:25:33.240
<v Speaker 1>many headphones have been stolen over the years. Many headphones

0:25:33.280 --> 0:25:36.760
<v Speaker 1>have been stolen over the years. I don't recall headphones.

0:25:36.880 --> 0:25:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh not headphones. But what is always missing? The jack?

0:25:41.640 --> 0:25:46.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes, in the studios are always scrambling for the headphone jacks.

0:25:47.080 --> 0:25:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So what happens is in the radio station, because

0:25:50.960 --> 0:25:54.280
<v Speaker 1>everything's got to be a little different. Pain in the ass.

0:25:54.640 --> 0:25:58.960
<v Speaker 1>So you buy headphones, they have usually a small, small

0:25:59.040 --> 0:26:02.840
<v Speaker 1>headphone jack. But to use them in a radio station,

0:26:02.920 --> 0:26:05.080
<v Speaker 1>you have to have an adapter because you need the

0:26:05.080 --> 0:26:06.879
<v Speaker 1>bigger I don't know what the name of it is.

0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:08.440
<v Speaker 3>You might know the name of it, Danny, but.

0:26:08.560 --> 0:26:10.879
<v Speaker 1>It's a larger thing you got to put on the

0:26:10.920 --> 0:26:15.000
<v Speaker 1>headphones to make them work, and there's hardly.

0:26:14.680 --> 0:26:15.240
<v Speaker 3>Any of those.

0:26:15.800 --> 0:26:17.879
<v Speaker 1>Those are the things I always go. But my problem

0:26:17.880 --> 0:26:19.639
<v Speaker 1>with the headphones. A couple of years ago in the

0:26:19.680 --> 0:26:23.880
<v Speaker 1>old studio, there was a glitch on the left side

0:26:24.200 --> 0:26:27.720
<v Speaker 1>in the studio where I would have my headphones on,

0:26:28.600 --> 0:26:30.840
<v Speaker 1>and then like every once in a while, the thing

0:26:30.880 --> 0:26:34.000
<v Speaker 1>would overmodulate, like the audio would all of a sudden

0:26:34.119 --> 0:26:38.280
<v Speaker 1>bump up too loud and blow out my headphones. And

0:26:38.480 --> 0:26:41.359
<v Speaker 1>these are one hundred dollars one hundred and fifty dollars headphones.

0:26:42.119 --> 0:26:43.960
<v Speaker 1>And I went to the company, I'm like, what the hell,

0:26:44.080 --> 0:26:46.960
<v Speaker 1>this is a glitch in your equipment, and you should

0:26:47.040 --> 0:26:49.760
<v Speaker 1>buy me new headphones. You know what the company did, Danny,

0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:54.440
<v Speaker 1>When I told them that, they laughed at me. They said, No,

0:26:54.760 --> 0:26:57.240
<v Speaker 1>that's not our problem, that's your problem. How's it my problem?

0:26:57.280 --> 0:26:58.760
<v Speaker 1>I gotta wear the headphones at work.

0:26:59.280 --> 0:27:04.400
<v Speaker 3>Headphone adapter is the term adapter, just adapter. It goes

0:27:04.440 --> 0:27:07.600
<v Speaker 3>to the three point five, which is the size that

0:27:07.640 --> 0:27:10.560
<v Speaker 3>we need. You're right, Ben, it's weird like you would

0:27:10.560 --> 0:27:13.879
<v Speaker 3>think that with all this high tech equipment they could

0:27:13.920 --> 0:27:16.040
<v Speaker 3>make studios take both.

0:27:16.520 --> 0:27:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's too much to ask for, Yeah, say, of course, Now,

0:27:19.760 --> 0:27:22.560
<v Speaker 1>these most headphones these days are just wireless headphones.

0:27:23.080 --> 0:27:25.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you can't use those in the on air studio.

0:27:25.960 --> 0:27:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah you can't, you cannot.

0:27:27.520 --> 0:27:29.080
<v Speaker 3>You have to. Yeah, we have to go old school

0:27:29.119 --> 0:27:30.840
<v Speaker 3>and use wired headphones.

0:27:31.040 --> 0:27:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Fred from Spring Texas. Right, So he says, hello,

0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:36.680
<v Speaker 1>hello fellas, I hope you had a fine Thanksgiving. Can

0:27:36.680 --> 0:27:42.240
<v Speaker 1>you explain what is the difference between Ask Ben and

0:27:42.320 --> 0:27:45.480
<v Speaker 1>the mail Bag? Well, yeah, list is, Fred. I shouldn't

0:27:45.520 --> 0:27:47.720
<v Speaker 1>have to explain this, Fred, And it's kind of obvious.

0:27:48.200 --> 0:27:53.800
<v Speaker 1>This is a totally foreign segment compared to Ask Ben.

0:27:54.080 --> 0:28:01.000
<v Speaker 1>The mail bag is so unique, it's so original that

0:28:01.119 --> 0:28:05.120
<v Speaker 1>we really withdraw from all other bits that we do

0:28:05.400 --> 0:28:08.600
<v Speaker 1>with the mail bag. It's so popular, people love it.

0:28:08.640 --> 0:28:11.239
<v Speaker 1>We talk in circles here on the mail Bag. It's

0:28:11.280 --> 0:28:15.320
<v Speaker 1>soone Ask Ben. You know, it's helter skelter. It's on

0:28:15.400 --> 0:28:18.280
<v Speaker 1>the radio. It's so old school on the radio.

0:28:18.600 --> 0:28:21.639
<v Speaker 3>And also, you botched that clock on the live show.

0:28:22.000 --> 0:28:25.679
<v Speaker 3>So Ask Ben is rushed in two minutes. No, no,

0:28:26.359 --> 0:28:28.040
<v Speaker 3>at twenty five minutes.

0:28:28.280 --> 0:28:30.879
<v Speaker 1>This is a solid Well, all podcasts are supposed to

0:28:30.880 --> 0:28:34.200
<v Speaker 1>be about thirty minutes, no longer than thirty minutes, because

0:28:34.240 --> 0:28:36.639
<v Speaker 1>people only listen for thirty minutes. We've been through this before.

0:28:36.720 --> 0:28:39.800
<v Speaker 1>But that's the thing about podcasting. Like Joe Rogan, somebody

0:28:39.800 --> 0:28:42.000
<v Speaker 1>emailed me. I said this on the radio show this week, Danny.

0:28:42.120 --> 0:28:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Somebody emailed me. I did not include this in the

0:28:43.960 --> 0:28:47.040
<v Speaker 1>mail bag. So this is not from Fred in Spring, Texas,

0:28:47.080 --> 0:28:49.880
<v Speaker 1>but somebody emailed me. And he's like, well, what is

0:28:49.960 --> 0:28:52.800
<v Speaker 1>Joe Rogan? He's the king of podcasting. His podcasts are

0:28:52.840 --> 0:28:56.480
<v Speaker 1>like four hours. I'm like, okay, fine, but that doesn't

0:28:56.520 --> 0:28:59.640
<v Speaker 1>mean people are listening to all four hours of the podcast. Now,

0:28:59.680 --> 0:29:01.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe if you have somebody on that's amazing as a

0:29:01.520 --> 0:29:04.120
<v Speaker 1>guest or something like that, they might listen to the

0:29:04.160 --> 0:29:08.680
<v Speaker 1>whole thing. But the reality is that most people listen

0:29:09.000 --> 0:29:11.560
<v Speaker 1>at the gym for about half an hour. They work

0:29:11.600 --> 0:29:13.120
<v Speaker 1>out for about half an hour, go for a walk

0:29:13.120 --> 0:29:14.840
<v Speaker 1>for half an hour, go on the treadmill, whatever, and

0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:15.280
<v Speaker 1>that's it.

0:29:15.840 --> 0:29:18.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. And to be fair, he's not on a network,

0:29:18.960 --> 0:29:23.000
<v Speaker 3>he's not on a national network daily that's all his content,

0:29:23.280 --> 0:29:26.600
<v Speaker 3>so he needs his podcast to be long. This is

0:29:26.680 --> 0:29:28.400
<v Speaker 3>complimentary to your live show.

0:29:28.720 --> 0:29:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this is bonus coverage, Marcus writes, And we'll get

0:29:31.320 --> 0:29:35.360
<v Speaker 1>out on this. Marcus from Bruceville, Eddie in Texas, right, So,

0:29:35.360 --> 0:29:36.840
<v Speaker 1>and he says, I know, you guys try not to

0:29:36.880 --> 0:29:40.480
<v Speaker 1>talk about sports much on this podcast. Yeah, we pretty

0:29:40.520 --> 0:29:43.760
<v Speaker 1>much avoided sports. But what is your favorite sports moment?

0:29:43.880 --> 0:29:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Mine would be ease. As I'm a Texas Tech fan,

0:29:47.240 --> 0:29:49.960
<v Speaker 1>we would have to be the Michael Crabtree last second

0:29:50.040 --> 0:29:54.360
<v Speaker 1>touchdown versus number one Texas I do remember that that was.

0:29:54.760 --> 0:29:57.360
<v Speaker 1>That was quite the quite the finish. You guys being

0:29:57.360 --> 0:30:01.880
<v Speaker 1>from California, can we get some Texas Tech red radar love? Hey,

0:30:01.920 --> 0:30:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Texas Tech has had they had my favorite college football

0:30:05.880 --> 0:30:07.960
<v Speaker 1>coach of all time. May he rest in peace, Mike Leach.

0:30:08.720 --> 0:30:11.400
<v Speaker 1>I love, I loved Mike Leach. He was at Texas Tech.

0:30:11.400 --> 0:30:13.160
<v Speaker 1>When I first fell in love with Mike Leach. He

0:30:13.200 --> 0:30:14.920
<v Speaker 1>was at Texas Tech, act she was at Oklahoma, but

0:30:14.920 --> 0:30:18.400
<v Speaker 1>he became the head coach at Texas Tech. So I loved,

0:30:18.880 --> 0:30:20.080
<v Speaker 1>loved Mike Leach.

0:30:20.400 --> 0:30:23.680
<v Speaker 3>Podcast for two hours. Ben. He was a regular on

0:30:23.760 --> 0:30:27.520
<v Speaker 3>out kick the Coverage. He could talk for days.

0:30:27.160 --> 0:30:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh about random things too, and he's you could ask

0:30:30.480 --> 0:30:33.040
<v Speaker 1>him one question and he'd just answer his own question

0:30:33.320 --> 0:30:35.560
<v Speaker 1>and asked. He'd ask his own question and answer his

0:30:35.600 --> 0:30:39.800
<v Speaker 1>own follow up questions. Fascinating fascinating. But as far as

0:30:39.840 --> 0:30:43.880
<v Speaker 1>great sports moments, my my greatest moment will probably shock.

0:30:43.960 --> 0:30:46.320
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you one right now. Those other moments, but

0:30:46.720 --> 0:30:50.719
<v Speaker 1>the greatest moment that I ever was at uh. There

0:30:50.720 --> 0:30:52.240
<v Speaker 1>have been a few World Series I've been to, but

0:30:52.280 --> 0:30:54.920
<v Speaker 1>the one I remember the most and the fondest was

0:30:54.960 --> 0:30:59.040
<v Speaker 1>a Cleveland Indians Miami Marlins World Series, not involving the

0:30:59.040 --> 0:31:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers at all. I was a young guy. I was

0:31:02.120 --> 0:31:04.240
<v Speaker 1>assigned to cover the World Series. We were in Miami.

0:31:04.280 --> 0:31:08.160
<v Speaker 1>It was Game seven, Game seven of the World Series.

0:31:08.720 --> 0:31:12.840
<v Speaker 1>It went to extra innings and it looked like the

0:31:12.960 --> 0:31:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland Indians were gonna win and end this long drought

0:31:16.160 --> 0:31:19.680
<v Speaker 1>of championships, and the Marlins tied the game up. They

0:31:19.720 --> 0:31:24.600
<v Speaker 1>went to extra innings and then Edgar Rental Rea hit

0:31:24.680 --> 0:31:28.680
<v Speaker 1>a base hit to center field that scored Craig Council,

0:31:28.800 --> 0:31:30.760
<v Speaker 1>as I remember. Maybe I'm completely wrong on this, but

0:31:30.800 --> 0:31:33.920
<v Speaker 1>it scored Craig Council, who was a pinch runner, and

0:31:33.960 --> 0:31:37.400
<v Speaker 1>that won the World Series of the Marlins. And it

0:31:37.480 --> 0:31:41.280
<v Speaker 1>was a total madhouse in Miami, which is amazing considering

0:31:41.320 --> 0:31:43.920
<v Speaker 1>people in Florida to give a rats ass about the Marlins.

0:31:43.960 --> 0:31:46.960
<v Speaker 1>But that's One of the cool things that I attended

0:31:47.000 --> 0:31:50.680
<v Speaker 1>that I was at was Game seven of the World Series.

0:31:50.720 --> 0:31:53.360
<v Speaker 1>I been some NBA finals over the years, and that

0:31:53.440 --> 0:31:56.400
<v Speaker 1>was all cool as well. What about you, Danny G.

0:31:58.200 --> 0:32:02.280
<v Speaker 3>Two great sports moments from my favorite team comes to mind.

0:32:02.800 --> 0:32:05.040
<v Speaker 3>One I listened to Bill King make the call on

0:32:05.080 --> 0:32:08.680
<v Speaker 3>the radio because we were little kids playing with a

0:32:08.720 --> 0:32:11.640
<v Speaker 3>football out in the yard as we listened to the

0:32:11.640 --> 0:32:15.840
<v Speaker 3>Super Bowl. Marcus Allen reversed fields and ran up the

0:32:15.880 --> 0:32:20.440
<v Speaker 3>middle seventy four yard touchdown. He looked like a gazelle

0:32:20.480 --> 0:32:25.040
<v Speaker 3>on the play. Check babe. It's probably the football play

0:32:25.080 --> 0:32:28.400
<v Speaker 3>that made me fall in love with the sport. And

0:32:28.440 --> 0:32:33.120
<v Speaker 3>then the other one Bo Jackson on Monday Night Football. Yes,

0:32:33.920 --> 0:32:38.120
<v Speaker 3>he runs down the sideline and he runs into the tunnel.

0:32:38.720 --> 0:32:42.200
<v Speaker 1>That was pretty cool. That was that was awesome. I

0:32:42.240 --> 0:32:45.200
<v Speaker 1>do remember that because the legend of Bosworth. They were

0:32:45.280 --> 0:32:48.560
<v Speaker 1>hyping that game up as Bosworth versus Ball. That was

0:32:48.600 --> 0:32:52.520
<v Speaker 1>the storyline. Yeah, Bosworth was a total stud at Oklahoma

0:32:52.640 --> 0:32:57.160
<v Speaker 1>and a total debacle as he got to the NFL.

0:32:57.240 --> 0:32:59.280
<v Speaker 1>It's like it was just an average NFL player.

0:33:00.240 --> 0:33:03.360
<v Speaker 3>Jackson ran him over at the goal line and pulled

0:33:03.400 --> 0:33:05.840
<v Speaker 3>him into the end zone. It was awesome.

0:33:06.680 --> 0:33:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all right, we'll get out on that, Danny. Anything

0:33:10.480 --> 0:33:14.160
<v Speaker 1>you want to promote here, anything When it's Sunday, I

0:33:14.200 --> 0:33:17.640
<v Speaker 1>gotta go back tonight. I'll be on radio tonight doing

0:33:17.960 --> 0:33:20.360
<v Speaker 1>the recap of all the NFL. I actually will be

0:33:20.360 --> 0:33:23.640
<v Speaker 1>at the Charger game Tonighty're playing the Ravens, so I

0:33:23.680 --> 0:33:26.840
<v Speaker 1>will be hanging out watching that game.

0:33:27.240 --> 0:33:30.280
<v Speaker 3>You mentioned at the start of the podcast that the

0:33:30.360 --> 0:33:33.440
<v Speaker 3>Raiders defense is looking good. They need Aidan O'Connell, the

0:33:33.480 --> 0:33:36.800
<v Speaker 3>rookie quarterback, to get some points up on the board

0:33:37.280 --> 0:33:40.600
<v Speaker 3>to have any chance against the Chiefs. So looking forward

0:33:40.600 --> 0:33:44.720
<v Speaker 3>to watching that. And then yeah, you're on tonight, and

0:33:44.840 --> 0:33:47.960
