Uh you know, I mean it's crazy. Uh, 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:35.000 it's hectic, it's a lot, but uh, you know, I've 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:36.720 been enjoying it. I've been enjoying it. Do you have 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.040 your own podcast yet or are you doing your own 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.479 thing or not yet? I do not not yet, not yet. 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.440 Maybe maybe one day in the future. But but as 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:45.520 I write out now, so you're just starting your career, 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:47.920 you do you have a vision like down the line. 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:49.480 I don't know how long you plan on playing for. 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:51.640 Do you want to get into the media or anything 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:53.400 like that when you're done, or do you you want 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.080 to completely leave that in the past. I mean, I 0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:58.920 haven't put too much thought into it, but you know, 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:02.440 I have a strong passion and love for football, so uh, 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:04.360 you know, I'm sure you know once I'm once I'm done, 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.440 whatever that is, I'm sure I wanna I want to 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.840 be around it some way, Uh, some in some some forms. 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.840 So we'll see. Ben, you said vision wrong packer. He 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:16.840 doesn't take ayahuasca, he's not doing not doing what do 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:19.239 you think about what's going on with your QB situation? 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:21.480 And I'm just I'm just letting him do him and 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:23.480 then whatever whatever he needs to do to to you know, 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:25.600 come to a decision and uh, you know, figure out 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.040 what he needs to figure out. Uh, let him do him. 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:29.840 And so I'm not putting too much thought into it. 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:32.359 Uh just just you know, controlling what I can control 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:35.239 and doing doing what I can do. Now, um, take 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.840 us behind the scenes. So you were obviously a young player, 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.519 but we're guys busting his chops on the ayahuasca and 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:42.360 all that in the locker room or they was that 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:44.640 we're boating or were they having a good time with that? Uh, 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.160 you know, I don't think there's anything too crazy. I mean, 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.519 if anything, you know, not not directly to him, but 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:51.640 you know, there might have been a few chirps you know, 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:53.880 here and there, but uh, you know, no, it was 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.480 it wasn't anything crazy. Uh you know, I don't think 0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:00.800 uh anybody was you know, overwhelmed, you know what he 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:04.000 had going on. You know, I think that. Uh you know, 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:07.799 everyone you know loves Rogers, every everyone uh uh you 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:09.400 know has a really good connection with him in the 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.000 locker room. So uh, you know, we we we didn't 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.399 we kept that off the field. Was it was it awkward? 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:17.000 Like because I'm assuming being a receiver and you didn't 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.000 know where you were gonna be drafted, and you're drafted 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.760 there and you're like, uh was it What was it 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.400 like walking in and dealing with with a guy who's 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.440 one of the legends and your sport and your business 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.320 of football. Uh? Yeah, I mean it was crazy. There 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.639 was definitely a little bit of star struck no to 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.240 to seeing you know, seeing him for the first time 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.160 and uh, you know, just being on the football field 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:39.240 with him. Uh. But I mean for me, I just 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.360 kind of looked at as a as an opportunity to 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.200 to grow, uh and and get better and and you know, 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.560 be able to pick his brain because yeah, obviously there's 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.480 there's not a lot of opportunities out there to to 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:51.960 you know, play and learn from you know, a player 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.920 of his caliber. Absolutely, Now let's switch it up and 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.760 talk about the big headline that happened this week kind 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.760 of trumped the whole Super Bowl thing for a hot minute, 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:05.680 k d coming here to Phoenix for the Suns. I 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:07.840 know you're an NBA fan. I see your Kobe shirt. 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:10.920 You have good taste. Danny, my guy, Danny's jealous because 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:14.520 this guy the biggest Kobe Bryant fan that I know. Yeah, 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.839 I like that shirt and Lakers had a couple of 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:19.640 good moves too. What do you think about the movement 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:21.839 going on in the NBA? Oh, you know, I actually 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:23.839 I've I've been pretty busy, so I haven't been able 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:27.080 to dive too deep into it. Uh, you know, I definitely, 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.120 I definitely watched the games once they once they get 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.880 good a little a little later in the season, uh. 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.240 I mean, and like a lot of us, when there's 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:38.000 no no more NFL games, super Bowl exactly, we switch 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.720 our attention to the NBA exactly. But you know, I 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:42.920 haven't haven't dove into it too much. But obviously, you know, 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:44.760 I've seen that there's been quite a bit of commotion 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:47.200 going on with it, so it's been crazy. Yeah. So 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:50.120 you you're from Florida, right, you grew up in Florida, 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:53.480 but you went to school in North Dakota. Is now 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.400 you're in Green Bay, is uh what's going on North 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:02.080 Dakota versus Green Bay? What better play? Better environment? Uh? 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.560 Not known as party places either one of those locations. 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:07.880 Uh you know, I mean I've honestly, I've been joining 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.320 enjoying Green Bay a little bit more only because the 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:15.600 winters are a little bit less Harshly you frozen tundras 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.360 easier than when you went to college. Yeah, No, it's 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.200 it's definitely definitely a little a little more chili in 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:23.560 North Dakota. So I've been uh, you know, I I 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.560 don't want to say enjoy, but I definitely been enjoying 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:30.599 it more than I enjoyed the North Dakota winters. But 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:32.680 I mean it's it's a small town vibe and and 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.039 you know, I feel like everything revolves around the packers. 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:36.520 So it's a It's a nice place to be. But 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:38.839 growing up in Florida, you're used to the warm weather 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.440 and all that stuff, So how it's gotta be crazy 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:43.920 for you still you're in college and now in the NFL, 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:47.480 you're like cold, cold places. Have you adjusted over the 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:49.359 years and they're used to it now? Uh? You know, 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.960 I definitely adjusted. Uh you know, I don't think I 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.840 will ever be you know, used to it. But you 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.039 know I've I've learned to cope with it, you know, 0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.760 layer up and Uh. I know that if I step outside, 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.919 just be outside for as little as possible, uh and 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.640 do what I need to do. But you know I've adjusted. 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.240 I'm I'm getting there, I'm getting used to it. Yeah. 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.080 Was that the first time you would have had ever 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:13.200 seen snow? Uh in North Dakota? Yeah? It was. It 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:15.400 was were you like trying to maybe get back on 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:19.880 the plane and go back to let me change my 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:23.640 my decision on that. I mean I stepped outside, uh 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:25.360 when it was snow for the first time, and I 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:29.640 enjoyed it for maybe like three minutes, yeah, and then 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:33.200 went inside and haven't enjoyed it since. But no, I 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:35.720 hear you just weird. My my brother and I grew 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:37.200 up in l A. We do the show from l A. 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:40.480 My brother moved to Appleton, which is right near Green Bay, 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.680 and so I went to visit him, uh last year actually, 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.160 and I was like, whoa, it was a whole a 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:48.680 whole different world and all that. Uh. Do you do 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:50.760 you go out much of you? You mostly just stay 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:52.479 at home when you're in Green Bay? I mean you 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:54.360 have you you were there last year? Do you have 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:56.800 your routine down?

Uh, never you know, 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.160 got out too much. You know, I enjoyed just uh, 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:05.960 you know, chilling obviously. You know when I'm when I'm 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.200 doing you know, football stuff. When I was doing school stuff, 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.840 school and football, it was always you know, super busy. 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:12.520 So you know when whenever I had some free time, 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:15.720 I I always enjoyed just no chilling at the crib. Uh. 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:17.160 But I mean if I needed, if I need to 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:19.480 step out, uh you know, grab something to eat or 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.120 you know, find something fun and doing green behind me 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.880 that there's there's stuff to do.

Exactly which 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:38.400 of your packer teammates would we find you hanging with 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.840 the most often? Um, honestly, I would just say the 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.120 whole wide receiver group. You know, I feel like the 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:47.880 the entire wide receiver core was was really tighten it. Uh, 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.200 you know, any time you know one of us are 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:51.760 a couple of us were hanging out, it was it 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.560 was honestly all of us.

Pacific 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:22.520 on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio ap 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:28.800 uh So. The first question comes from Pierre in Springfield, 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:32.680 mass home of the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame, and 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.240 that is where Muffett mcgraws and trying. He says, Hey, Bannon, 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:39.120 Danny Gee. He says, as someone who lives far from civilization, 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:43.400 I often struggle doing cost benefit analysis and whether or 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:48.040 not to drive for takeout as a recovering large man, Ben, 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:52.040 how far will you go to pick up take out? 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:56.040 The closest this decent option to me is twenty to 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:59.600 thirty minutes away. All Right, So that's a great question, Pierre, 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:01.400 and and you can answer this is what we like it. 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:05.079 We like a nice meal. Um. I'm now at the point, 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:08.319 since I've started learning how to cook where I would 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:12.800 rather invest the time on having making what I want 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:16.280 in in the kitchen myself. Um. So the answer the 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:20.920 question is no, I would not drive thirty minutes unless 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:23.800 it was like rare and appropriate. But if it's something 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:25.920 I can go to it anytime, Like I'm here in Arizona. 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.720 One of my favorite restaurants is from Wisconsin. We had 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:32.439 Christian Watkins on Culver's, which is a Wisconsin chain. I 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:35.360 think it's great. My wife hates it, but I love it. 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:37.320 And uh and I was like, oh, you know it's 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:39.800 they don't have in California. So we'll go, we'll hang out, 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.200 we'll have some of that and all that. But um, 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:45.920 but that's because we're traveling, but back back home not 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:50.559 doing it. What about you, Danny, Yeah, especially when you 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:54.240 get into a serious relationship. Whether or not your girl 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.880 can cook, that's one thing. And also and in in 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:00.560 your case, Ben, you're a good cook. I'm not. But 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:06.000 the farthest my girl will go for food outside of 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:09.280 our own kitchen is ten minutes away. There's a ten 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:12.720 minute rule. It's a ten minute rule. It's the fish grill. 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:15.560 It's ten minutes away. You gotta get on the freeway 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:17.960 to go there. And she acts like that is going 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:20.560 to northern California. Well, and I have to say to Pierre, 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:24.520 when I was at my fattest, I'm the guy that 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:26.960 we'd be like, you know, I want Taco Bell, but 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:28.920 I kind of like some fries, and I think I 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.800 feel like Carl's Jr. Fie man. So I would go 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:35.720 through multiple drive your own accommodation. But then I'm like 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.000 do I I would like, do I get the Taco 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.040 Bell first? Do I get the fries first? You know? 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:42.439 What do I do? I always would go taco is 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:46.199 a fatast move right me at my heaviest I could 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:49.719 understand that a little bit because I remember going through 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:54.440 one drive through and it not being fulfilling because I'm thinking, yeah, 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:58.520 but I was also craving this. Always get a short 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:02.480 order here and then I'll add on to it there. 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:06.280 And I think, what's your record three places I have done? 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:08.640 I have done three? Yeah, I have done. If you've 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:11.680 gone over three, you might be on a TV show 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.960 on the TLC channel with a crane. Yeah there, Well, 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:16.760 the chance to make some money on that, you can 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:19.800 cash in on that. Who is next on the mail bag? 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:23.080 We've got Kevin in Kansas who writes and he says, 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:26.520 dear Ben and Danny g cleaning out my shirt drawer 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:28.440 last week. Well, that's the kind of thing we need 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.800 an update on that. That is what Kevin is doing. 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:33.680 He says. I realized how many old school shirts I 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:36.880 have in Polos I own. He says, T shirts Polos 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:38.880 and all that. All of them were given to teachers 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:42.360 by the school. That makes me wonder how much company 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:46.160 gear you own? And what's the nicest company gift you've 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:52.040 ever received? So your here right now? No, yeah, this 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:54.600 is probably this is probably up there, but but no 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:57.200 back I'm trying to be like back in the back 0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.480 in the day. Let's see, we got a backpack that 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:03.560 was pretty I gotta I gotten more than one. Oh man, 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.240 I have so many different backpacks you have, you have 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:11.400 a ge backpack. I have I have because every year 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:14.200 for the these radio stations don't know what they give. 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:17.760 They give bags out every year, you know bags uh, 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:20.520 a cell phone charger one year, remember got we got that, 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:25.320 the speaker, a bluetooth, remember the speaker. Those are all 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:27.120 things Fox has given out that I would say the 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:30.520 most valuable thing that we ever had when I started. 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:33.600 When I left San Diego and I was working at 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:36.560 the mighty six ninety and they started Extra Sports eleven 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:40.080 fifty in l A. They had this huge marketing budget 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:44.000 and so they had this huge campaign. They billboards up 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.080 and all this. I was not in any of the billboards, 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:50.440 but they gave us for photos. You know those letterman 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:52.680 jackets you'd get in high school at the really expensive 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.120 letterman jackets with the patches, and so they made for 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.560 the radio station. They made a letterman's jacket. It was 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:01.240 the right size and everything. Yeah, I know it fit. 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:03.880 I still have it. It's still in great shape and 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.400 it's held up and I have if you want any 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:10.760 old T shirts, hats, any of that. Danny from radio stations, 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:14.000 my wife we when we moved the last time, and 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:16.720 to you, Kevin um, she wanted to get rid of 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:19.320 that stuff. And I don't know I should have gotten 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:21.760 rid of it, but I just kind of held on it. 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:24.200 I don't know, it's I'm the same. I feel like 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:26.880 that's the stuff you need to save and it's better. 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.000 That might be better than my number one answer on 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:32.160 the board maybe five years ago at our Christmas party, 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:35.000 remember when our bosses had the prostitutes up on the 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:38.560 seventh floor. That was a great well. And that's the 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:40.680 gift that keeps giving, because you know, that's a surprise. 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.520 When you get done with the the prostitutes're like, whoa 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:47.000 wait a minute. They they've got a special gift for 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:50.120 you that pops up a couple of days later. All right. 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:53.600 Next up on the mail bag, we've got Mike from 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:56.680 Fuller to no relation to fur Dog Danny. This is 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:59.240 not this could not be furg Dog. This is Mike 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:03.440 from Fuller To in in southern California, home of the Titans, 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:08.920 the cal State Fullerton Titans, whose rival is you see 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:13.560 Irvine be and Eaters Mike and Fullerton rights. And he says, hey, Bannon, Danny, 0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:18.800 g did you guys hear Mexico banned all shark cage tourism. 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:20.600 I did not hear this, is that true. I didn't 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:22.720 hear that either. He says, you regret not getting in 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.080 the water with a great white shark while you had 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:28.159 the chance. And speaking of the ocean, do either of 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:34.000 you have any good fireboat stories. I'd love to hear one. Oh, yeah, 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:37.320 there you go, man. Yeah. Last week, last week you 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:40.359 mentioned you had some San Francis. This is all time 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:43.760 great stories. Look at that. We're running out of time. 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:45.440 We're gonna have to blow off. I guess this is 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:48.239 a better story. So I'm gonna go way back. I'm 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:53.080 gonna date myself. We're good. They don't need no, We're 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:56.800 all right, we don't need nothing. We're solid. So I'm 0:17:56.840 --> 0:17:59.320 gonna go back to when they opened up the new 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:02.680 ballpark in San Francisco, the Giants new stadium, which at 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:05.240 that time, yeah, it was called pac Bell at the time. 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:10.280 At open. So I was doing local radio and we 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:14.040 thought Dodgers and Giants, great rivalry. This was a huge deal. 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:17.160 The Giants had played at Candlestick Park for a long 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:22.000 long time. The new ballpark, beautiful stadium, and so we 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:25.200 did a promotion. The Dodgers opened up the stadium against 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:28.760 the Giants, and so we all went up. The marketing 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:31.560 guys had this great idea, We're gonna go in a 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:34.640 pirate ship and McCovey cove outside the but we didn't 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:36.159 know it was McCovey Cole. We just we're going the 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:39.359 water outside the ballpark and we're going to you know 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:42.120 show where we're with the Kings of the Giants ballpark 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:45.440 or whatever it was. So I'm on a boat with 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:47.479 Dave Smith, the guy that I did the show with, 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:51.880 Vic the Brick and uh, who's a big radio star 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:53.880 at M five seven. If you're not familiar with Victor 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:55.680 Brick around the country, he worked at Fox Sports Radio. 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:57.800 So Vick was there. There were some of the other 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:01.160 hosts that were part of this, and there were a 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:06.200 bunch of sponsors. And so the bit we were broadcasting 0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:09.639 live from the pirate ship and we're going around the water. 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:13.200 There's beautiful. It was perfect. It was a day game, 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:16.920 it was perfect weather. It was awesome. What could so 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:19.359 And of course Vic and I believe it was a 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:23.560 Martinez who has become a big star in public radio. 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:27.720 He does like public radio and nationally, I believe, but 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:30.840 a Martinez and vic were dressed up as pirates, and 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:33.800 we are cruising through and everyone's having a great time 0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:37.119 through the waterway right there outside the ballpark, and we 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:42.040 see a San Francisco fireboat off in the distance. We're like, okay, whatever, 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:47.919 and the fireboat comes at us and it turns on 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:52.120 the all of the hoses from the fireboat to flood 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:57.440 to flood our boat. So you see people, these are 0:19:57.520 --> 0:20:00.159
