The greatest thing and I 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:50.880 always says a boy gambling, it's a what a business Danny, 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:53.640 You know, going in when people walk into casinos, they 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:56.640 know they're going to lose, and they still gladly walk 0:00:56.720 --> 0:01:00.360 into casinos and give their money to people knowing maybe 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:02.600 I'll win, maybe I'll be the one in a million 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:03.720 that actually wins some money. 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:07.120 And did you see the billions of dollars being placed 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.480 on these two teams that play today? This is the 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:15.080 Sunday Pods, right. We have made it to Super Bowl Sunday. 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:17.480 Someone will have the joy of victory and the agony 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:17.959 of defeat. 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:21.440 Yeah, and millions of fans will have the agony of 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:25.200 losing money trying to explain that to their significant other. 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:28.720 Yeah, it's why this week I had a crazy night 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:29.600 on the radio show. 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:31.480 I was telling a story about Billy Walters. 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:33.160 I don't know you know, are you from Billy the 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.520 greatest gambler of all time, the babe Ruth of gambling. 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:38.640 I've actually heard you tell the story. Yeah, so I 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.520 read a story about him. There was a book written 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:44.040 about Billy Walters when I was like in high school, 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:47.440 and it was like the most amazing thing, Like this guy. 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:52.160 Nobody consistently wins betting on sports. This guy does. He's 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.040 in like the one percent, so much so that he's 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:59.000 been banned from casinos from betting a lot of money 0:01:59.000 --> 0:01:59.840 because he actually wins. 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:02.360 You know, the ugly truth is they don't if you win. 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:04.320 They don't want you. They want you. They want losers, 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:05.240 they don't want winners. 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:09.480 And so Billy Walters would hire people to go out 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:11.959 and as surrogates for him. 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:14.600 He would give them money, but they. 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.519 Couldn't say that they were working for Billy Walters and 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:18.680 they would put bets on So I was like, this 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:20.160 is like the greatest thing in the world I measured 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.919 being your young guy. They'll fly you to Vegas every 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.600 weekend to put bets in on the games. So I'm 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:29.000 telling the story and this guy calls up from Cleveland. 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:30.760 I think he was in Cleveland, might have been somewhere 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.880 in northern Ohio. He's like, hey, you were talking about 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:38.120 Billy Walters. I did that. I was a surrogate for 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.800 Billy Walters when I was when I was younger. 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:43.880 How he did the thing that I wanted to do. 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.119 You were a runner for the Dodger and so many 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:47.840 other teams. I figured you would have did that for 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:48.880 him too. I would have. 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:50.720 I would have loved that job. It would have been 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.320 like perfect, would have been like a movie, right, because. 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.320 The way the story is I understand it, like Billy 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:00.680 Walters would hire college kids, but they would pretend like 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:02.840 they were like trust fund babies and they had all 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.960 this money because otherwise to get cleared to bet a 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:07.840 lot of money, you have to if you bet a 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.160 certain amount, you have to show bank receipts and all 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:11.960 that stuff. So it's uh, it was wild so an 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:13.680 it was this crazy you never know who's listening to 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:16.760 live radio, and this guy called up and he told 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:18.399 his story, and I was like, wow, that's pretty cool. 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.160 That's a that's a neat thing. But it is Sunday's 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.480 Super Bowl Sunday. Yeah, a lot of time to kill 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:25.400 before the game. That's why we're here, Danny. We are 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:26.560 the pregame show. 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:30.320 The pre game to the pregame to the official pregame. 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:30.880 Of the big Game. 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.280 But I'm told like, as long as you don't do 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.280 it for commercial reasons, you can say super Bowl. 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.440 Yeah, so super Bowl, super Bowl, super Bowl. 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:41.240 Now if I said, Ben, I'm here on behalf of 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:44.720 Coca Cola, Oh yeah, for the big Game.

You're in trouble. 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.000 That would be it. Yeah. But uh, well, enough of that. 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:54.720 Let's get to the mail bag that you know what 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.800 that means, Ohio al So we have to strike up. 0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:01.640 The band for the great Ohio al.

H When no 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.760 one sends mail in, that's a bad thing. 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.360 That is. We don't like that.

I think the 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.120 only thing I've gotten is chicken wings and I'm on 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.480 a fast, so I didn't even eat them. They were 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:25.640 handing out boxes of chicken wings and paper towels across 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:28.000 as fasting. 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:31.279 Yeah I should eat, I don't really should. This is 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.239 a bad weekend for you to be fasting. So what's 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:35.800 the coolest freebie that you've gotten? 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:37.200 Danny? Can you've been here all week? 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:37.839 Yeah? 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:41.200 Monday was media Night or opening night they call it 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:45.760 as you know, yeah, or Allegiance Stadium. That was really cool. 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:48.520 I wish I was on the actual grass though we 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:49.960 were on the UNLV turf. 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:52.279 I was painted with the logo. 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.680 I know they spent all the time painting that turf, 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:56.320 but I wanted their grass. 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:57.719 To be rolled in then would be able to play 0:05:57.720 --> 0:05:58.039 on it. 0:05:58.200 --> 0:05:59.960 What I wanted to roll around on the real grad. 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:04.799 But up on level three of Allegiance they had NFL 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:09.279 Media Dinner. Now this consisted of teketos, one of your 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:14.039 favorite I'm a teketo guy, several different trays of different meats, 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:15.880 from pork to chicken. 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:17.120 We've got the meat. 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:23.640 It's like Arby's, except Arby's is a cover for drug lords. Hello, 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:29.320 but also ben. They had every Gatorade water and Gatorade 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.760 beverage and soda. You could imagine the downside of this 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:34.880 was I was in a little bit of a hurry 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:37.200 getting something to eat, and then I had to run 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.960 back down and find Covino and Rich who were recording 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:43.159 little video clips to put on social media. 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:44.880 Well, I'm up there. 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.520 I had a couple of taketos and I grabbed a 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:48.320 couple of drinks. 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:49.360 But I didn't have a bag. 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:51.960 It's not like I was carrying a backpack or a 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.960 Duffel bag. And I noticed the media guys directly in 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:57.400 front of me at a table. They were all shoving 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:00.000 all this free stuff into their Duffel bags and their backs. 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:01.600 In fact, yeah, that's see, that's the better remove. I 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:03.640 had a buddy of mine, one of my good friends, 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:07.279 who used to work in the newspaper business, and he's 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.160 got friends that go to all these big events. And 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.880 this guy has one of his buddies, has made thousands 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:17.400 of dollars he covers like college in pro basketball or 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:21.920 college basketball, like championship events, but college football. After a 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.720 team wins, they shoot the confetti down, and he does 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.520 this for the Super Bowl too, and he'll collect it 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:31.880 and sell it on eBay and people will pay like 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:35.200 hundreds of dollars for a little painful of CONFETI so 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:38.280 the guy brings an extra backpack and fills it up 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:40.920 with confetti and then sells it, you know, from the 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:42.440 actual National Championship game. 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:43.720 A odd thing to want to buy. 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.960 Like, we talked with our very own Dan Bayer about 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:49.160 this on the air a couple of weeks ago. He's 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:51.480 been on the field for some of the championship games 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.840 and Super Bowls and he'll put confetti and ziploc bags. 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:56.720 Yeah, so he still hasn't. 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.840 Even if my Raiders were able to go and win 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:03.120 another Super Bowl, wouldn't want a little bag of Yeah. 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.240 I mean I understand, like, if you're a diehard fan, 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:07.760 you're like, this is a little piece. I wasn't there. 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:11.400 If you were there, I think just the memory would 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:13.200 be enough. But I've been you know, I've been to 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.640 World series that have ended. I've seen teams win world series. 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:17.320 I'm not I've never been to a Super Bowl. I've 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:20.200 been to the Pro Bowl, I've been NBA Finals. I've 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.920 seen team win team. I saw the Lakers back God 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:25.200 Forbid and the Kobe days when they were winning. 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:29.320 Anybody on the Clippers is half of what Kobe Bryant. 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.719 Is and with Shaq and then the Kings, the La 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.800 Kings when they when they they won. But it's like 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.959 the memory to me, that's more important, like the actual memory, 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.120 but if you want a little little piece of it. 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.880 But you're going to these things now more than the reason. 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:47.120 I wanted the real grass out on the field at Allegiance. 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.439 I wanted to dive in the end zone and pretend 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:50.880 like I was Davante Adams. 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:52.760 I wanted to see what it feels like. 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:55.200 But you could still get that. You could see like 0:08:55.280 --> 0:09:00.160 the stands, you you could take advantage of that opportunity. Yeah, 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.480 it's that's one of the cool things about this job. 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:04.079 I've been able to like get on the field that 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:07.439 like fin Way and yet old Yankee Stadium and kind 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:09.240 of get the vibe like what it's like for the 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.320 players when you look around. And it's pretty cool. Oh, 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:14.559 by the way, speaking thank you for the question, Mike. 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:18.560 Last year in Phoenix, when I came to the Super Bowl, 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:22.760 they had like a big like free M and m'sh pallets. 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:26.400 They had pallettes and pallets of freebies behind some of 0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:26.840 the states. 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:27.840 Great I scored. 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:29.880 Yeah, they didn't do that this year. 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:34.520 I have space in my bag. I was like, I 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:36.480 was going to get some free candy. I know, I 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.360 thought I actually eat it very much. 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:39.000 To paint a picture. 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.800 You know the huge bags that hikers have on their 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:45.000 backs on the trails. Ben has one of those on 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:47.880 his back, but it's empty. Yes, And they saw you 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.520 load this thing up last Super Bowl and they're like, 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:52.960 we're not putting these pallettes back here any longer. 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:57.880 Yeah, I'm ready to climb like Mount Kilimanjaro. I'm ready 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:01.760 to go up there, all right, Steve from Dallas? Right, 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:04.720 since is Ben and Ben now that your TV show 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:07.280 has been canceled, what are you going to do with 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:10.439 all your freet death? Hey, jackass, He wasn't canceled. 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:12.880 I signed. I signed a deal with NBC. 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:16.280 It was only for the NFL season, which is now over. 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:22.880 Dummy story. But no, it hasn't been canceled. We don't know, 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:24.840 I mean I I don't know whether the show will 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:27.160 be back next year. We think it'll be back, but 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:29.920 as you know, Danny, it ain't up to me. It's 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:32.839 up to people that have higher pay grades than me. 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:34.880 But we hope the show is back, and we think 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:37.880 we were optimistic it'll be back, but I'm been canceling. 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:42.440 I am planning to make my return to the gym. 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:44.560 I have not been going to the gym because I've 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:46.800 been focusing on the TV show. So I'm going to 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:50.280 get back to my gym routine, and which is good. 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:53.640 So I think I can fast a little less if 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:54.920 I'm working out a little more. 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.360 I guess it's like a trading situation. Right. 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:02.400 This week, I had a seventy two hour fast which was. 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:06.240 Which was a little bonkers, little bonkers, So we had 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:11.400 that going on. I am such a radio loser. What 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:11.880 is next? 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:17.160 Jay in Kansas writes in he says, Oh, this is 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:22.040 for you, Danny. He says, did baby CoA come with 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:25.240 you for the first Super Bowl or did you keep 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:27.360 him home because you didn't want him to become a 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:31.800 Chiefs fan after if they win? It's from yeah, well, yeah, 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.640 well he wouldn't remember this anyway. 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.920 Right, We've had this discussion before about how you still 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.560 want to put the best possible memories into your little 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:43.480 baby's head. Although I couldn't bring him to this city. 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:46.839 And here's the reason why Las Vegas as fun as 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:49.640 it can be, it is one of the dirtiest cities 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:53.760 in our country with germs. This is they call this 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:58.320 the unofficial COVID capital of the world. Now, my parents, 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:02.560 my dad and stepma, they came here probably about six 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:06.240 months after the pandemic. Yeah, and they hadn't had COVID 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:10.200 until they visited Las Vegas. They left with COVID and 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:13.920 then another family member came to Vegas about three four 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:14.640 months after that. 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:16.680 They left Vegas with COVID. 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.240 It made me scared to come here for some of 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:22.000 the boxing matches that we cover with Covino and Rich 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:25.120 because I'm like, damn, I don't want COVID right now. 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:29.800 Well, you don't want to really run it, buddy, if 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:30.559 you know. 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:33.760 What places to stay away from, because you might get 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:37.280 COVID going there. This is definitely there's because there's a 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.880 lot of people from everywhere all over the world come 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:43.640 here to Las Vegas to have a good time. They 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.720 smoke right in your face, they get right in your face, 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:49.200 and there's tons of people elbow to elbow, and I 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:51.600 think that's one of the reasons why people get so 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:53.280 sick sometimes when they yeah. 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.600 For me, though, I come to Vegas a lot because 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:59.480 it's so close and in fact, I'll be back in 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.199 a couple of weeks for my wife's got some friends. 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:04.199 We're having a like a birthday celebration and stuff. And 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.000 I was just here a couple of weeks ago. It's 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.360 like so close. It's like, you know, it's like a kid. 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:11.480 It's a suburb of LA It's just essentially part of 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:14.760 Los Angeles. But to me, the dirtiest places I've been 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.440 are the Tenderloin district in San Francisco, which is like 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:22.400 an apocalypse film. And parts of New York City in 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.280 the afternoon in the summer when they put the trash 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:27.680 out to get picked up, and you can smell the 0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:31.520 rotting food and you can see the rats running around 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:36.800 eating the food out of the trash. It's disgusting. I 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:40.480 haven't been to New Orleans. I've heard mixed things about 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:40.880 New Orleans. 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:41.640 So people love it. 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.880 Other people say there's some dirty streets there. I've been 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.800 there a couple of times. It's going to be interesting 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:49.600 for the Super Bowl there next season. 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.200 Yeah, all right, mass Old Mickey Wright's in on the 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:54.800 mail bag here. It's a super Bowl Sunday says, we 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:56.960 all know the best thing on Sunday will be the. 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.800 Super Bowl halftime show with Usher just Cai. 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:05.280 If you were to charge or change, make a change 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.679 or in charge of the halftime show, which artist would you? 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:11.360 He wants to know who we would have perform at halftime. 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:14.280 He says he would go with Metallica. That's a good choice. 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:16.960 I would like since you gave me the power mass 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:21.800 w Mickey, I would go and reincarnate Elvis Presley and 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:25.520 I would have Elvis or Johnny Cash perform. 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:30.160 That would be the bottom. I don't watch the halftime show. 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:31.880 I'm not a halftime show guy. It's not for me. 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:36.760 I would have programmed fifty years celebrating hip Hop with 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:38.520 run DMC as the headline. 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:39.840 There you go old School. 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:41.640 That would have been fun. Yeah, that would have been 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:42.120 really fun. 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:42.880 That would have been cool. 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.520 Yeah, they should bring back Remember the first Super Bowl 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.640 to Coliseum, didn't they have like the high school band 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.040 from some high school in Anaheim, and they had somebody 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:54.560 flipping that's a thing, you flip up the metal thing. 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:59.440 I forget what? Oh no, yeah exactly, yeah, something like. 0:14:59.480 --> 0:14:59.960 You don't care. 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:04.160 Carl Channing was the very first singer at a Super 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:07.280 Bowl halftime show, and prior to that, there was just 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:10.520 a couple of marching bands that would perform, and Carol 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.120 Channing as she was an actress and singer and all that, 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.880 and she sang when the Saints come marching in because 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.600 it was the halftime there in New Orleans. And after 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:21.960 that they were like, let's just have a singer every year. 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:25.400 And it's obviously we've come a long way since that. 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:29.920 It would be cool to have Carol Channing commemorate that moment. 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:32.280 But she died a couple years ago. She's unavailable. 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:34.120 But if she did show up now, that would be 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.720 a story, right, you know, it would be great. 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:40.080 Maybe wheel her coffin shell. 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:44.840 Dig her up. She's back, everybody, she is back? Yeah, 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:45.440 why not? 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.360 Or this would be cool? Now, this would make headlines. 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:54.240 At halftime you have the first interaction with extraterrestrials and 0:15:54.280 --> 0:15:56.640 they perform at halftime, right they get You get a 0:15:56.680 --> 0:16:00.560 band of like aliens and they just go out there 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:01.120 and perform. 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:02.920 Now, that would be amazing, Right. 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:05.600 Next time the Super bowls in Vegas, they should do 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:09.600 that because there's always so many alien sightings in Nevada 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.880 and Las Vegas that this would be the perfect place 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:13.400 to host. 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:15.479 Yeah, alien themed super. 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:17.160 Not far away from Area fifty one. 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:19.320 That's I mean I listened to I grew up on 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:21.840 art Bell and art used to talk about any art 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:23.800 was up in Perump which is not that far away. 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:27.000 Remember the aliens were spotted in that family's. 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:27.560 Backyard right here. 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.239 Yeah, ten feet tall, big eyes. 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:33.920 That's great, have big eyes? 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:37.440 Should play for the clippers, that'd be the way to go. 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:44.960 RJ insane Antonio.
