Speaker 1: breaking it all down. But let's get to the mail bag.

24
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 4: It's bang.

25
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 3: One thing Ben I like about Covino and Rich they

26
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 3: don't pretend to be experts at sports they don't watch

27
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 3: or know anything about. They both openly admit that they

28
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 3: suck at college basketball.

29
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: Well, based on the the picks on Fox Sports Radio

30
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: dot com, everyone sucks at college Yeah. It's one of

31
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: those things. The weird thing about the tournament it's really

32
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: become more of an issue in recent years, is if

33
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: you just pick chalk, people rip you. You shouldn't be

34
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: doing that. You know that anybody can pick chuck. You've

35
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: got to pick upsets. Yet, if you just pick chalk,

36
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: you'll end up feeling pretty good. You'll you'll be doing

37
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: very well. You'll you'll end up with teams in the

38
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: final four.

39
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 3: A couple of the lowest seed we had was Arkansas. Yeah,

40
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 3: and they were the tenth seed and they didn't hang

41
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 3: on to go any deeper.

42
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 4: So of course you should pick chalk.

43
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's not you don't get any credit for that.

44
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 2: You know.

45
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: It's like before every season I have a theory that

46
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: I've come up with over the years doing sports stock

47
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: radio that the most outrageous prediction, the most wild prediction

48
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: is it's a battle. It's like a pissing contest to

49
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: have the most prediction before season because you get clout,

50
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: you get attention for it, Like I'll give you any

51
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 1: baseball just starting right, Dodgers are off to a really

52
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: good start.

53
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 4: And all that.

54
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: And in the baseball season predicting, if you come out

55
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: and say the Dodgers are gonna win one hundred and

56
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: seventeen games and they're gonna win the World Series, yawn.

57
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 1: Now if you come out and say, the Dodgers might

58
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: not even win the National League West, so they're not

59
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: gonna win the Nation League West and Dodgers won't win

60
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 1: the World Series, and the Podres are gonna win the

61
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: World Series or the Baltimore Orioles are gonna win the

62
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: World Well, that gets attention. So you're better off picking

63
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: some outrageous thing rather than going with the obvious, because

64
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: nobody wants to hear the obvious and they just want

65
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: they don't want that. So anyway, we have the mail

66
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: bag here and Ohio Al, thank you for that. We've

67
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: got first one from Reggie in Detroit. Reggie's a longtime

68
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: supporter of this podcast.

69
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 4: Reggie theas, uh, yeah, sure.

70
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: I mean, don't say now, we might just assume it's

71
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: Reggie Theis, the former cal State Northwards christ Did he

72
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: Is he the one that threw the punch or got punched?

73
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: Remember that that Reggie Theis, Yeah, there was a punch.

74
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 4: Did he remember if he was on the receiver. I

75
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 4: know he was part of the incident.

76
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: I don't remember great moments in cal State Northridge history

77
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: right there? All right, So Reggie from Detroit, right, it says, Ben,

78
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: would you please address the mal ord militia regarding these

79
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: social media commentators this week who said that they think

80
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: you are responsible for having Eddie fired and replaced on

81
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: the show by Lorena. Thanks Reggie from Detroit. Yeah, Reggie,

82
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: So I have been told this. I didn't. I didn't

83
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: see it. Apparently there is a popular theory by some

84
00:04:54,640 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: that I went to management and I said, ick on

85
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: the Eddie a and that's it. We've got to get

86
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: rid of Eddie and Reggie. My response to the people

87
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: that are saying that is there's a lot of stupid

88
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: people out there. There's a lot of dummies.

89
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 3: And still, well, it doesn't make any sense because Lorena

90
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 3: doesn't do the same job Eddie does. She is a

91
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 3: tech producer. Yeah, she doesn't even have the same boss

92
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 3: that Eddie had, exact two different departments.

93
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the only reason Lorena talk is Coop won't talk.

94
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like I've tried to use Coop for

95
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: bits on the show. He just doesn't doesn't interact. Unfortunately,

96
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: it's not that's not his thing. He doesn't like to

97
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: talk too much. And Lorena at least will respond every

98
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: once in a while, and she's kind of into it,

99
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: and so I like having her on the show. But

100
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: I tried to use Coop, but Coop's just not he

101
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: just doesn't engage unfortunately. So but no, I had nothing

102
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: to do. I loved Eddie. I actually found out. I

103
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: got back from Kansas City. It was early November, went

104
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: to the Kansas City meet and greet flew back on

105
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: I think it was that Monday morning. I got back

106
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: Monday afternoon, took a nap, woke up, and all hell

107
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: had broken with this. But Reggie, Yeah, I me, there's always

108
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: gonna be certain people that are just ignorant and dumb

109
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: and whatever phrase you one. He was, But no, nothing,

110
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: nothing like that is true. But you know, people can

111
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: believe what they want. And I am honored though, in

112
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: some way, that people believe that the overnight talk show

113
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: host has the kind of an iron fist that can

114
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: control those things. I just believe that it's a wonderful

115
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: thing that you think that I have the kind of

116
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: thing where I can move mountains and that I'm in

117
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: control of the terrain. I think that's neat. There was

118
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: a time maybe that was the case where you were

119
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: the engine master and all that, but I don't think

120
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 1: that in modern times that.

121
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 4: You're being modest.

122
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 3: In fact, I heard a rumor that the reason why

123
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 3: our kitchen is blue is because that's your favorite color.

124
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

125
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: Well, I am the benevolent overlord, right, I'm the dictator.

126
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: I rotate nuts. My nickname in the building is at

127
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: Till of the Hunt. That is my nickname in the building.

128
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: So anyway, thank you Reggie for that, and thank you

129
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: for all the idiots. I guess on social media that

130
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: we're posting that ian from Australia. Right, so, and he says, hey, Bandon,

131
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: Danny enjoyed the podcast. I wanted to ask you about this.

132
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: Didn't they make a horror movie about this very topic?

133
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: And then he sent me a story that says scientists

134
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: want to grow human bodies for testing and the harvest

135
00:07:53,920 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: for parts. This is from Ian in Australia. Ethically sourced

136
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: human bodies. Yeah, scientists from Stanford University asked in a

137
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: recent article. This is from MIT Technology Review. He says,

138
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: why do we hear about medical breakthroughs and mice but

139
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: rarely see them translate into cures from human disease? Why

140
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: do so few drugs that inner clinical trials receive regulatory approval?

141
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah. And then they explain because

142
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: they're not doing it on human bodies. And so this

143
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: is the common root cause there's a shortage of ethically

144
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: sourced human bodies.

145
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 4: May too early in the morning for this.

146
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: I know. So they say, with more than one hundred

147
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: thousand patients currently waiting for a solid organ transplant in

148
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 1: the US alone, it is the kind of an outside

149
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: of the box thinking that could solve this organ shortage. Wow,

150
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: So how exactly would this work?

151
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 4: Jesus?

152
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: You imagine it would be harvesting bodies. We're just gonna

153
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: but I don't even want to. Yeah, I don't know

154
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: what do you want me to say? Ian, I don't

155
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: know that that is a horror movie. That's that to

156
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: have been a horror movie at some point, right, that

157
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: had to be. This is like some kind of April

158
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: fool's joke. We're not quite into April yet. Ethical harvesting

159
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: of human bodies I'm a doctor. Yeah, is determining whether

160
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: we should make body ooids non human or human will

161
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 1: require considerable thought, discussion and debate.

162
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 3: Man, all right, you know what, it is too early

163
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 3: for this, but I'm gonna be thinking about this all

164
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 3: day now.

165
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 1: Thank you Ian for that. Yeah, And don't you think

166
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: they're probably already doing that somewhere maybe somewhere in like

167
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: some well look at the maybe in Wuhan. You know

168
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: the lab there in Wuhan where they give us COVID

169
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: and all that, the fish market in in Wuhan, China,

170
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: they can at harvesting bodies. Oh yeah, yeah, all right,

171
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: who's next on the mail bag? And by the way,

172
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: if you want to send a mail.

173
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 3: Transition from that, I know, I don't know, I don't

174
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 3: know what do you what are you doing speaking of

175
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 3: dead bodies?

176
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: You know, we're not coast to coast ian. I know

177
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: you don't even know what that is, probably in Australia,

178
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: but we're just just trying to get through it. I

179
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: don't even know what this is. It's not really a

180
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: sports podcast.

181
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 4: It's not.

182
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: It's just a podcast. It's just a couple of dude hybrid.

183
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 4: It's a hybrid.

184
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: It's a hybrid. We're just trying to get today.

185
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, ask Ben in two point zero and a little

186
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 3: bit of sports mixed in.

187
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, whatever caught our attention we talk about,

188
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: it's not It's not that deep, dude, you know what

189
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's not that deep. Okay, Joe in New

190
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: York writes and he says, hey, Ben, I saw that

191
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: Logan Paul and Jake Paul this week had their own

192
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: version of a malord meet and greet in Times Square,

193
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: but no one showed up. Uh has this ever happened.

194
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 4: Like a Doug Gottlieb remote.

195
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: Or like a Doug Gottlieb coach basketball team? Oh no,

196
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: all right, No, we love you, Doug. We're big fans

197
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 1: of Green Bay. Maybe you'll win five games next year. Anyway,

198
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,119
Speaker 1: Joe writes.

199
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 3: In nobody showed up because Doug's fans live in other states.

200
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. Yeah, no, but so Joe sent

201
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: a link here. So Logan Paul, Jake Paul had a

202
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: meet and greet in Times Square and nobody showed up. Uh.

203
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: So the question was has this ever had me Fortunately, no,

204
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: although we did have almost we only had a couple

205
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: of people show up in Appleton, and Appleton, Wisconsin was

206
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: very small. That was the smallest one we've had. I

207
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: was worried no one was going to show up. We

208
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: had a few people show up from Green Bay and

209
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: one dude, I think they're like four four people showed

210
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: up to that. That was the That was the one

211
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: that came close to having no one show up. But

212
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 1: other than that, we've done pretty well and we did

213
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: very well in Boston. Vegas was great, Minnesota was wonderful,

214
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: The la Ones have always been really good. We did

215
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 1: pretty well in Charleston. So yeah, we have never I'm

216
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: gonna jix myself now, I'm gonna jinx myself. But to

217
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: this point we've never had no one show up, which

218
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: would be very very unfortunate. And how did that happen.

219
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: I thought Jake Paul and Logan Paul were like popular,

220
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: are they not? I don't know, They're not popular to me,

221
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 1: but I think I'm too old for there.

222
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 3: No, I mean I would have I would have assumed

223
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 3: that they would have a decent sized crowd. Maybe it

224
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 3: wasn't promoted properly.

225
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, Or it's all smoking mirrors, And it's like the

226
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: matrix and what I always say about social media and

227
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 1: and all that, that it's just algorithms and bots and

228
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: this that and the other thing, and AI.

229
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 3: Like all those supporters are not tangible in real life.

230
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: A lot of what goes on on social media is

231
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: not you can't monetize it. It's not like legit. It's like,

232
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: aren't there more more people on Instagram that have a million?

233
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: There's not what was the number, I gotta find the number,

234
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: but there's like more people on Instagram that have a

235
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: million followers or something like that that actual people on

236
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: the planet, meaning the population. If you took all those

237
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: millions of people, there's a lot of fakeness, is what

238
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,239
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say, right, A lot of it's smoking mirrors.

239
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 3: By the way, I saw Doug in our La studios

240
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 3: last week.

241
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: Is he recruiting? Is he trying to get some kid

242
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: from Tustin to come joining?

243
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 4: Well, I was telling him about cos skills.

244
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 3: Hey, yeah, you can never start, you know, getting your

245
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 3: son's film out there too soon. But he asked me

246
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 3: how the Fifth Hour podcast was doing. And I talked

247
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 3: to him for a couple of minutes, you know, him

248
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 3: being a coach now too. I felt like he should

249
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 3: have had lunch catered for our studios that day.

250
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, just charge it to green Bay, come on, man?

251
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: Exactly was Doug surprise when he got to La he

252
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: was greeted by this thing called the Sun? Was he like, whoa,

253
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: what is that? There's a thing called the Sun? Where

254
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: did that come from? I can't believe it. Did he

255
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: wear the pullover Green Bay thing? You know, the pullover

256
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: that says the Green Bay logo on it and all that.

257
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 4: I didn't know.

258
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 3: I didn't see any I didn't see any slag on him. Yeah,

259
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 3: I would wear it was incognito. He was in well

260
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 3: you know, he was dressed as a broadcaster.

261
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think you'd agreed, Danny, the way Green

262
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: Bay performed this past year, you probably should go incognito. No,

263
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: he should go definitely go incognito. Next up is Dave

264
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: in Boise, Idaho. He says, Hey, Ben and Danny, I

265
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: know you guys are not big fans of my state.

266
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: You never talk about it, but I thought this would

267
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: be interesting for the podcast. And he says that the

268
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: governor of Idaho has signed a law this week that

269
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: has made it illegal to have truck nuts. Yeah, you

270
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: cannot have have the the truck nuts. I rotate nuts. Well,

271
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: that's peanuts, you know, you know what, you know what

272
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: truck nuts are, Danny, right, the little scrot them, the

273
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: fake scrotum that attaches to the back of the back

274
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: of the truck, and it says a common decency. Many

275
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: years ago, Florida attempted to make truck nuts illegal with

276
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: a law that proposed a sixty dollars fine, but it

277
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: failed to pass. South Carolina had a legal battle after

278
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: a woman got a four hundred and forty five dollars

279
00:15:55,240 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: ticket for violating obscenity laws. But according to the story

280
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: that was sent here by Dave from Boise, Idaho, he

281
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: says House built two seventy recently went into effect and

282
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: it updated pre existing indecent exposure law that now outlaws

283
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: the public display of female breasts, male breast altered to

284
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: look like female breasts, and toy products that resemble genitals.

285
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: I've never been to Ido. Have you been to Idaho

286
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: with Covino and Rich or anything, or just gone up

287
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: fishing or anything.

288
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been to Idaho. Been a hiking Yeah, on

289
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 3: a hiking trip. Beautiful man rolling green hills on the

290
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 3: way into Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Okay, there are huge, sprawling estates.

291
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 3: You can build a retirement home on a ton of property.

292
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 3: And my cousin and I we were blown away by

293
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 3: all these homes we saw. And my cousin told me,

294
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 3: He's like, man, this is the spot to retire right here.

295
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: I've known a few people that at social events I've

296
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: gone to with the wife. And a lot of cops

297
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: retire in Idah. I think it's a big cop place.

298
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: Like a lot of cops go up there, and like

299
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: from La, I'm pretty sure.

300
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 3: There's a lot of Hollywood folks that have moved to

301
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 3: Actors actresses that have moved out that way to get

302
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 3: out of La.

303
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, definitely often.

304
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 3: I know Mario Lopez brought his family out there is

305
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 3: that right?

306
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: Is that right?

307
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, they still have a residence here in southern California,

308
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 3: but they built a house there in Idaho. My wife's

309
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 3: uncle and aunt are building a big home in Idaho

310
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 3: right now. So yeah, that is a spot where people

311
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 3: on the West Coast especially look to retire.

312
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: Cool. Are you planning to retire, Danny? Have you mapped

313
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: out your retirement plans there?

314
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 3: And dude, my retirement plan is in full effect once

315
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 3: I turned ninety three.

316
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: You're starting right now.

317
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 4: You'll start saving seven good years left. Wrong.

318
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: Once CoA goes number one in the NFL draft, you'll

319
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: be you'll be ready to go.

320
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 4: Uh, it is.

321
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: The mail bag, And thank you, Dave. I don't know

322
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,239
Speaker 1: what do you want me to say, Dave. I mean,

323
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't really have a problem with with

324
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: fake nuts on a truck.

325
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 4: I don't.

326
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the greatest look in the world,

327
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's something that needs to be

328
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: punished by the law.

329
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 3: Oh, Ben, really quick, though, I don't know falls there

330
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 3: were a ton of large people there. We stopped in

331
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 3: a diner and oh my goodness, there were big people

332
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 3: in there.

333
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 1: Is that right? Well, that actually is perfect, Danny, are

334
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: you looking at my notes here? Are you cheating?

335
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 4: Nanny?

336
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 3: No, No, we're just in sync because Billy rights in,

337
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 3: I'm justin Timberlake.

338
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 1: Apparently, so Billy writes in he says, uh, I guess

339
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: parts unknown. By the way, he did not. Billy did

340
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: not say where he is actually residing, so part's unknown.

341
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: He says, Ben, I heard you mentioned Desmond Watson this

342
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: week on the Overnight Show, and I want to know,

343
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: if you're a man of your word, will you actually

344
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: get one of his jerseys. So, for those that didn't

345
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: hear the Overnight Show, I did Billy mention that I

346
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: am a big fan of Desmond Watson. I believe he

347
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: is the kid's name, Desmond Watson. He is the humongous

348
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: defensive tackle from the University of Florida that, if he

349
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 1: is drafted, will be the heaviest player drafted in NFL

350
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: history by almost one hundred pounds.

351
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm looking him up right now. Desmond Watson four

352
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 3: hundred and forty nine pounds.

353
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: No, he's bigger than that. He's like forced safety. He

354
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 1: weighed in on his pro day. He's projected as a

355
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: Day three pick. He weighed in at four hundred and

356
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: sixty four pounds. Oh yeah, he but he big boy.

357
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: He benched two hundred and twenty five pounds thirty six times.

358
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: That's the most of any player that he wasn't at

359
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: the combine, but no players at the combine bench that much.

360
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: He also completed the forty yard dash in five point

361
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: thirty nine seconds and almost five hundred pounds.

362
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 4: Wow.

363
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: The dudes athletic. So yeah, I'm a big fan. Billy

364
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: from Parts Unknown. I'm pulling for the kid. Well I

365
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: actually buy a jersey? Probably not.

366
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 4: What does he eat?

367
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: Donuts and traduccin and.

368
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 4: I'm gonna do for the combine, get heavier.

369
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna eat those three layer burritos is what I'm

370
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: gonna eat. That's what I'm going for. Man, you talk

371
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: about the great fat Hope Desmond Watts. I hope the

372
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: Rams draft that guy. The Rams draft him. I'll have

373
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: to buy a jersey. I do think I'm a little

374
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: too old for that, but I don't know. I man,

375
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: I'm pulling for the kid. I hope he makes it.

376
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: That's every fat kid's hero right there. If he squashed it,

377
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: literally squashes the record by eighty pounds. Currently the heaviest

378
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 1: player ever drafted in the NFL, weighed in at three

379
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty pounds. There's a couple of offensive linemen,

380
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: most recently was Trent Brown, who's actually had a decent career.

381
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: But this guy Watson's again almost one hundred pounds heavier

382
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: then that that is as wild. And he never missed

383
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: a game at Florida.

384
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 4: You know that.

385
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: I watched him play defensive tackle, but he he had

386
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: some decent stats and he moves very well. He moves

387
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: like he's a normal sized player. So that's that's the

388
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: kind of guy.

389
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 4: Dan.

390
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: If you're an NFL team, draft that guy in the

391
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: sixth round. If you can get him to lose i

392
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: don't know, seventy pounds or something like that, get under

393
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: four hundred, man, that's it.

394
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 4: I having him lose anything.

395
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 3: I'm having him gain thirty more pounds and then I'm

396
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 3: gonna just put him in whenever i have to do

397
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 3: the push play.

398
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: Well, No, he's a defensive second, so he could stop

399
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: the toush push.

400
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 4: No, I would put him in on offense. I'd use

401
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 4: them like a refrigerator.

402
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: Perry oh Man, that is that is a great story. Billy,

403
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: but again unlikely to buy actually buy his jersey, but

404
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: I will be a fan. I will support him and

405
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: hope he does very well for sure, Mike. And Fullerton

406
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: writes in on the mailback and says, hey, Ben and Danny,

407
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: g do you think if the Dodgers stay healthy they

408
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: have a legit shot at a perfect season this year?

409
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: I know it's never been done before, but if anyone

410
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: can do it, it's this year's Dodgers. On paper, they

411
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: look unbeatable. Also, do you know if mercury being in

412
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: retrograde is a good thing or a bad thing. I've

413
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: listened to Andrea's calls for years and I still.

414
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 4: Have no idea.

415
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, so pretty sure Mike that you don't have to

416
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: worry about the Dodgers being perfect. And as far as

417
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: as far as the mercury and retrograde, I generally it's

418
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: a bad thing unless it fits the narrati, it's a

419
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: good thing. So it really it's wonderful. You can manipulate.

420
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: It's kind of like playto Danny, mercury being in retro red.

421
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: You can move it to whatever fits your agenda. It's

422
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 1: like that after the fact reporting when people talk about

423
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: this team didn't get along very well, and then they

424
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. Well they didn't. They didn't they

425
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: didn't get along. Well, that's what the reason was for

426
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: them to win is because they didn't get along well.

427
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: So it kind of drove them to win. And then

428
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: if it doesn't work out, they didn't win because they

429
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: didn't get along. So whatever fits the narrative, you just

430
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: plug it in and you're good to go.

431
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 3: Andrea, she has magical powers. It's true because every time

432
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 3: I hear her on your show, she magically turns into

433
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 3: Amy Lawrence.

434
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 1: Oh how that's a low blow. That is a low blow.

435
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,239
Speaker 1: What was she's gonna do now? Amy Lawrence gave up

436
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: the overnight show?

437
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 4: Uh?

438
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: Gary in Pa, you know, I don't know ferk Dog.

439
00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: I'll ask her next time.

440
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 4: Is very nice lady, by the way, he's a lovely lady.

441
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: In my apologies to her. Gary and Pittsburgh writing.

442
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 3: The phone calls and she would ask me about my

443
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 3: family for about ten minutes, and then you'd leave her

444
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 3: on hold for another hour.

445
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: That's right, Gary, sometimes two hours. Gary and Pittsburgh write.

446
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: Since has been as a person that listens to your

447
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: show but hides behind their email as some gasbag once said,

448
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: I came across a pretty good deal in the coupons

449
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: that come from our grocery ads. Apparently Arby's money laundering

450
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. I guess that's for you. Daddy in Pittsburgh

451
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: must be off the charts. They have a coupon deal

452
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: for fifteen dollars six mozzarella sticks, two beef and cheddar,

453
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: two medium fries, and two drinks and two apple turnovers. Man,

454
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: in this day and age, I think that is as

455
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: fair as it gets, and will probably do this. We'll

456
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 1: probably do this, he says, your thoughts as this is

457
00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: what half of that offer would be in californ.

458
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 3: We talked about the prices yesterday. This sounds like the cartel.

459
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: Now you get six mazzarella sticks. That's a nice appetizer,

460
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: two beef and cheddar, two medium fries, and two drinks

461
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: and two apple turnovers. That would cost at least seventy dollars.

462
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 4: In LA at least one visit to the er.

463
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's worth it. He also says Gary's waiting

464
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: for the dates for Columbus the Columbus Meet and greet.

465
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: Brush up on your hockey knowledge, since that is the

466
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 1: decor of that bar, Google Orums Donuts as I will

467
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,840

Speaker 4: Yeah?

477
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: Well, Danny, it obviously depends on how old you are, right,

478
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: because you're you're at the age now, Danny where you're like,

Speaker 4: But if but I couldn't eat that when I was twenty.

481
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: Okay, I probably could have back in my big eating days.

482
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: Well didn't you stop? Used to stop? What's that place?

483
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:29,040

00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Pismo Beach.

487
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 3: We're a famous Yeah, there's a famous cinnamon role play.

488
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: It's a wonderful place, always packed there's people lined up

489
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: out the out the door there.

490
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 4: It's awesome.

491
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: But those those are regular sized cinnamon rolls. Those are

492
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: not the size of Frisbees. But but Gary, very kind.

493
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 1: I look forward to meeting you, Gary. Continue to beat

494
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 1: it behind your email all right, Marcus writes it from

495
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: San Antonio. He says, Hey, Ben and Danny g I

496
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: have mentioned in previous mail bag questions that we were

497
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: lucky enough to be read on the Real Fifth Hour podcast.

498
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: My first experience at AM radio was listening to Kansas

499
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 1: City Royals games and follow up postgame shows, the fan shows.

500
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: I remember watching WKRP and since a Naty as a kid,

501
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 1: and Frasier on TV and thought, what a glamorous life

502
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: it would be to work in a radio station, listening

503
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 1: to several hosts cry about the demands of the job

504
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: and former athletes that have basically ruined sports talk radio.

505
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: There's one thing that still makes me wonder about to

506
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 1: this day. Every once in a while, there seems to

507
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: be an extended, I mean really long commercial break. I

508
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,479
Speaker 1: always thought the host was arguing with the producer or

509
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: some kind of bathroom emergency. Can you explain why Sometimes

510
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: these extends breaks just seem to come out of nowhere.

511
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: It would be nice to get some closure on this.

512
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: Truly appreciate you guys keeping me company on the weekends.

513
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: That is from Marcus in San Antonio. So, Marcus, this

514
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: must be a local radio issue because we have a

515
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: formatted clock by the clock, all about the clock, living

516
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 1: for the clock. It's all about the clock. But on

517
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 1: local radio, I do know sometimes you move commercials around,

518
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: and I know that occasionally you need to go a

519
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: little bit long.

520
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 4: Now.

521
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: We have had some hosts you may or may not

522
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: have worked with, one who may or may not have

523
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: gone on to sit in the most famous chair in radio,

524
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: the Limbaugh chair, who would occasionally kind of fluts around

525
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: with the clock, which would create some very tough situations

526
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: as we go out. You know what I'm saying. I mean,

527
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: but generally speaking, we're not able to do that, right Dan,

528
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: we can't really mess Oh.

529
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 3: I mean, well, I did one time have the heart

530
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 3: out run into a heart out.

531
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 4: You ever heard of that?

532
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 3: So nobody knew what to do because it had never

533
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 3: happened before.

534
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: Oh that's so good, Oh man. The worst I've had

535
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: I did. I came back at the top of the

536
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: hour before the top of the hour, the final segment,

537
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: and I think I had seventeen seconds, I believe. I

538
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: said alone and gave the name of the show, and

539
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: we went right back and that was that was that

540
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: about seventeen seconds and the greatest.

541
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 4: Sound my heart out hit in the middle of the

542
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 4: top of the hour. Update.

543
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, there were legendary stories about that show. And because

544
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: if they were just rolling, they would just keep going,

545
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: and which is great, and you can do that alone

546
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: local radio. The problem with us is we're feeding all

547
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: these other stations and so if you if you don't

548
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: follow the clock, it creates what's it called danny a bottleneck, right, well, gridlock.

549
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 3: Like a it's like a train wreck, but millions of

550
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 3: people die in the train crash, and.

551
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,479
Speaker 1: There's no way around it. There's really no way around it.

552
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:22,719
Speaker 1: You're you're just doomed.

553
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 4: Now.

554
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: There is a famous story markers in local radio. There

555
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: was a talk show host in Los Angeles who had

556
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: eaten lunch before his afternoon drive show, and the lunch

557
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: did not agree with the host, and the host did

558
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: the opening segment of his show and then realized he

559
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: had to go to the powder room.

560
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 4: And for what did you eat.

561
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: It was not it was not me, but for forty minutes,

562
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: that host was taking a bow movement and they had

563
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: to play. They played forty minutes of commercial and music,

564
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: which is not you're not supposed to play music on

565
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: a sports station because this guy had to go to

566
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: the bathroom and it was a classic.

567
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 3: That happened one time on the Jay Moore Show, except

568
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 3: he was doing something else.

569
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: Well, he was probably looking up some laker information or

570
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: something like that. Probably show sure. Marcus from Bruce phil Eddie,

571
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: Texas right soon says, hey, you guys talked last week

572
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: about when COVID had hit and still doing the radio station.

573
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: I remember at one point there was nothing going on

574
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: in the sports world. Everybody was scrambling for stories. My

575
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: local station here in Waco had their host talk for

576
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: an hour and a half about his daily routine from

577
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: getting up, eating breakfast, showering, and going to bed. I

578
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: thought that was hilarious. Did you guys have any moments

579
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: like that? That's from Marcus, Yeah, we certainly did. Danny.

580
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: The great thing is that the management was like, listen,

581
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: there's not them that you normally do. That's going to

582
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: be normal, So just do whatever you have to do,

583
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: you know. I think one of the lines they said was,

584
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: I know we're doing sports talk, but you're just doing talk.

585
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: You know, you just just you know, get through it.

586
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: You don't talk about it. Just that's it, you know.

587
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: One of my fondest memories. Besides you doing the Marble coverage,

588
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: we still had to get some guests on the air.

589
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: And you know, since there were no games being played,

590
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: there were a few, just a few sports.

591
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 4: That were operating. One of them was MMA.

592
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 3: So I got like the best writers and the dudes

593
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 3: in that industry that were the most respected to hop

594
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 3: on the phone with Clay Travis, and Clay was asking

595
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 3: them all about MMA, and they were breaking down all

596
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 3: the fights and the weight classes and everything, and it

597
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 3: sounded cool on the air, just because the MMA never

598
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 3: got primetime coverage like that before.

599
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, for sure. Then they were the only game

600
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: in town. That and as we mentioned Korean baseball, we

601
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: were getting fed Korean baseball games, and that was the

602
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: sport and the stadium being empty and and all that.

603
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, I mean, those those turned out to

604
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: be stories that we will tell. You know, we're old

605
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: guys in a rocking chair drinking lemonade, puking, my day

606
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: during the pandemic, and you know, tell those most stories,

607
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: and that's our that's a big moment, that nine to eleven.

608
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: Those are things that we'll we'll talk about for the

609
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: rest of our lives and then we'll be done, and

610
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: then they'll be on Wikipedia, and then they'll be that

611
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: and we'll move on to the next great disasters of

612
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: the world, which are who knows how far away right

613
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: always those those defining moments. I know when I was

614
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,719
Speaker 1: first starting out. For the previous generation, it was like

615
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: the Kennedy assassination, the moon landing, those were like the

616
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: huge events. That was like the biggest. The Vietnam War

617
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: was a big one in their lives. The Depression. I know,

618
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: my grandparents, my mom also because of my grandparents and

619
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: the Great Depression, my grandparents, I was living through it.

620
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: My mom always had like fifty containers of toilet paper

621
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: and Kleenex and all the supplies because she was worried

622
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: about the depression. Of course, we ended up trying to
