<v Speaker 1>this Sunday. Will be down to the final four right now, Danny,

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>we're sitting at let's see, we went from the Sweet

0:00:55.920 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 1>sixteen to the Dirty Dozer to the Elite eight, and

0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:04.840
<v Speaker 1>now it's the six what is it? Sixes?

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 3>Everywhere today we have Tennessee and Houston and Michigan State

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 3>and Auburn.

0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 1>All right, so that's what's coming up today. I'm sure

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:15.160
<v Speaker 1>we'll have plenty of Mallard monologue reaction to all that

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:19.040
<v Speaker 1>tonight on the Overnight Show. And I know you and

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Covino and Rich and those guys on Monday will be

0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:26.960
<v Speaker 1>breaking it all down. But let's get to the mail bag.

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:35.400
<v Speaker 4>It's bang.

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:45.440
<v Speaker 3>One thing Ben I like about Covino and Rich they

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.320
<v Speaker 3>don't pretend to be experts at sports they don't watch

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 3>or know anything about. They both openly admit that they

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 3>suck at college basketball.

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, based on the the picks on Fox Sports Radio

0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:02.080
<v Speaker 1>dot com, everyone sucks at college Yeah. It's one of

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 1>those things. The weird thing about the tournament it's really

0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 1>become more of an issue in recent years, is if

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:12.120
<v Speaker 1>you just pick chalk, people rip you. You shouldn't be

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 1>doing that. You know that anybody can pick chuck. You've

0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:18.519
<v Speaker 1>got to pick upsets. Yet, if you just pick chalk,

0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.960
<v Speaker 1>you'll end up feeling pretty good. You'll you'll be doing

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 1>very well. You'll you'll end up with teams in the

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 1>final four.

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 3>A couple of the lowest seed we had was Arkansas. Yeah,

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 3>and they were the tenth seed and they didn't hang

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:34.519
<v Speaker 3>on to go any deeper.

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 4>So of course you should pick chalk.

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but it's not you don't get any credit for that.

0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:40.800
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 1>It's like before every season I have a theory that

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 1>I've come up with over the years doing sports stock

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 1>radio that the most outrageous prediction, the most wild prediction

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:59.360
<v Speaker 1>is it's a battle. It's like a pissing contest to

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 1>have the most prediction before season because you get clout,

0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:04.959
<v Speaker 1>you get attention for it, Like I'll give you any

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.679
<v Speaker 1>baseball just starting right, Dodgers are off to a really

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:08.359
<v Speaker 1>good start.

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 4>And all that.

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:15.160
<v Speaker 1>And in the baseball season predicting, if you come out

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 1>and say the Dodgers are gonna win one hundred and

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:21.400
<v Speaker 1>seventeen games and they're gonna win the World Series, yawn.

0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:23.959
<v Speaker 1>Now if you come out and say, the Dodgers might

0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.000
<v Speaker 1>not even win the National League West, so they're not

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:29.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna win the Nation League West and Dodgers won't win

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.519
<v Speaker 1>the World Series, and the Podres are gonna win the

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:33.920
<v Speaker 1>World Series or the Baltimore Orioles are gonna win the

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 1>World Well, that gets attention. So you're better off picking

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>some outrageous thing rather than going with the obvious, because

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 1>nobody wants to hear the obvious and they just want

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>they don't want that. So anyway, we have the mail

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>bag here and Ohio Al, thank you for that. We've

0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 1>got first one from Reggie in Detroit. Reggie's a longtime

0:03:57.920 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>supporter of this podcast.

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 4>Reggie theas, uh, yeah, sure.

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, don't say now, we might just assume it's

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Reggie Theis, the former cal State Northwards christ Did he

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 1>Is he the one that threw the punch or got punched?

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Remember that that Reggie Theis, Yeah, there was a punch.

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.279
<v Speaker 4>Did he remember if he was on the receiver. I

0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 4>know he was part of the incident.

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember great moments in cal State Northridge history

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 1>right there? All right, So Reggie from Detroit, right, it says, Ben,

0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 1>would you please address the mal ord militia regarding these

0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:33.800
<v Speaker 1>social media commentators this week who said that they think

0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:38.240
<v Speaker 1>you are responsible for having Eddie fired and replaced on

0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:45.800
<v Speaker 1>the show by Lorena. Thanks Reggie from Detroit. Yeah, Reggie,

0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 1>So I have been told this. I didn't. I didn't

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:54.320
<v Speaker 1>see it. Apparently there is a popular theory by some

0:04:54.640 --> 0:05:00.560
<v Speaker 1>that I went to management and I said, ick on

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 1>the Eddie a and that's it. We've got to get

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:09.159
<v Speaker 1>rid of Eddie and Reggie. My response to the people

0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 1>that are saying that is there's a lot of stupid

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:14.800
<v Speaker 1>people out there. There's a lot of dummies.

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 3>And still, well, it doesn't make any sense because Lorena

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.840
<v Speaker 3>doesn't do the same job Eddie does. She is a

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 3>tech producer. Yeah, she doesn't even have the same boss

0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 3>that Eddie had, exact two different departments.

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and the only reason Lorena talk is Coop won't talk.

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:33.839
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's like I've tried to use Coop for

0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 1>bits on the show. He just doesn't doesn't interact. Unfortunately,

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.039
<v Speaker 1>it's not that's not his thing. He doesn't like to

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:43.760
<v Speaker 1>talk too much. And Lorena at least will respond every

0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:45.600
<v Speaker 1>once in a while, and she's kind of into it,

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 1>and so I like having her on the show. But

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 1>I tried to use Coop, but Coop's just not he

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:55.520
<v Speaker 1>just doesn't engage unfortunately. So but no, I had nothing

0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.919
<v Speaker 1>to do. I loved Eddie. I actually found out. I

0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 1>got back from Kansas City. It was early November, went

0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:07.720
<v Speaker 1>to the Kansas City meet and greet flew back on

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:11.560
<v Speaker 1>I think it was that Monday morning. I got back

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.159
<v Speaker 1>Monday afternoon, took a nap, woke up, and all hell

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.680
<v Speaker 1>had broken with this. But Reggie, Yeah, I me, there's always

0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna be certain people that are just ignorant and dumb

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.480
<v Speaker 1>and whatever phrase you one. He was, But no, nothing,

0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:28.160
<v Speaker 1>nothing like that is true. But you know, people can

0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 1>believe what they want. And I am honored though, in

0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:36.240
<v Speaker 1>some way, that people believe that the overnight talk show

0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 1>host has the kind of an iron fist that can

0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 1>control those things. I just believe that it's a wonderful

0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.800
<v Speaker 1>thing that you think that I have the kind of

0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:53.159
<v Speaker 1>thing where I can move mountains and that I'm in

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:57.680
<v Speaker 1>control of the terrain. I think that's neat. There was

0:06:57.720 --> 0:06:59.720
<v Speaker 1>a time maybe that was the case where you were

0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:03.359
<v Speaker 1>the engine master and all that, but I don't think

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:07.359
<v Speaker 1>that in modern times that.

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:08.680
<v Speaker 4>You're being modest.

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.120
<v Speaker 3>In fact, I heard a rumor that the reason why

0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 3>our kitchen is blue is because that's your favorite color.

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:14.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, I am the benevolent overlord, right, I'm the dictator.

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:25.320
<v Speaker 1>I rotate nuts. My nickname in the building is at

0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Till of the Hunt. That is my nickname in the building.

0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, thank you Reggie for that, and thank you

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:33.160
<v Speaker 1>for all the idiots. I guess on social media that

0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:36.720
<v Speaker 1>we're posting that ian from Australia. Right, so, and he says, hey, Bandon,

0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Danny enjoyed the podcast. I wanted to ask you about this.

0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Didn't they make a horror movie about this very topic?

0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:48.040
<v Speaker 1>And then he sent me a story that says scientists

0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:53.760
<v Speaker 1>want to grow human bodies for testing and the harvest

0:07:53.920 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 1>for parts. This is from Ian in Australia. Ethically sourced

0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:07.640
<v Speaker 1>human bodies. Yeah, scientists from Stanford University asked in a

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:13.720
<v Speaker 1>recent article. This is from MIT Technology Review. He says,

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.200
<v Speaker 1>why do we hear about medical breakthroughs and mice but

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:20.400
<v Speaker 1>rarely see them translate into cures from human disease? Why

0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:24.040
<v Speaker 1>do so few drugs that inner clinical trials receive regulatory approval?

0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Blah blah blah blah blah. And then they explain because

0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:31.440
<v Speaker 1>they're not doing it on human bodies. And so this

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:35.640
<v Speaker 1>is the common root cause there's a shortage of ethically

0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:37.000
<v Speaker 1>sourced human bodies.

0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.840
<v Speaker 4>May too early in the morning for this.

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:45.439
<v Speaker 1>I know. So they say, with more than one hundred

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:49.440
<v Speaker 1>thousand patients currently waiting for a solid organ transplant in

0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:52.719
<v Speaker 1>the US alone, it is the kind of an outside

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:57.559
<v Speaker 1>of the box thinking that could solve this organ shortage. Wow,

0:08:58.080 --> 0:08:59.600
<v Speaker 1>So how exactly would this work?

0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 4>Jesus?

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:05.400
<v Speaker 1>You imagine it would be harvesting bodies. We're just gonna

0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:08.920
<v Speaker 1>but I don't even want to. Yeah, I don't know

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:10.720
<v Speaker 1>what do you want me to say? Ian, I don't

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 1>know that that is a horror movie. That's that to

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:16.040
<v Speaker 1>have been a horror movie at some point, right, that

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.040
<v Speaker 1>had to be. This is like some kind of April

0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 1>fool's joke. We're not quite into April yet. Ethical harvesting

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 1>of human bodies I'm a doctor. Yeah, is determining whether

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:31.320
<v Speaker 1>we should make body ooids non human or human will

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:34.319
<v Speaker 1>require considerable thought, discussion and debate.

0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:38.079
<v Speaker 3>Man, all right, you know what, it is too early

0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:39.960
<v Speaker 3>for this, but I'm gonna be thinking about this all

0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:40.520
<v Speaker 3>day now.

0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:46.679
<v Speaker 1>Thank you Ian for that. Yeah, And don't you think

0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.040
<v Speaker 1>they're probably already doing that somewhere maybe somewhere in like

0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:52.800
<v Speaker 1>some well look at the maybe in Wuhan. You know

0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 1>the lab there in Wuhan where they give us COVID

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:59.040
<v Speaker 1>and all that, the fish market in in Wuhan, China,

0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:04.240
<v Speaker 1>they can at harvesting bodies. Oh yeah, yeah, all right,

0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:07.520
<v Speaker 1>who's next on the mail bag? And by the way,

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:09.160
<v Speaker 1>if you want to send a mail.

0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.560
<v Speaker 3>Transition from that, I know, I don't know, I don't

0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:13.280
<v Speaker 3>know what do you what are you doing speaking of

0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:14.040
<v Speaker 3>dead bodies?

0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:17.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, we're not coast to coast ian. I know

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.040
<v Speaker 1>you don't even know what that is, probably in Australia,

0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.720
<v Speaker 1>but we're just just trying to get through it. I

0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:23.240
<v Speaker 1>don't even know what this is. It's not really a

0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:24.120
<v Speaker 1>sports podcast.

0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:24.440
<v Speaker 4>It's not.

0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.560
<v Speaker 1>It's just a podcast. It's just a couple of dude hybrid.

0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 4>It's a hybrid.

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:30.480
<v Speaker 1>It's a hybrid. We're just trying to get today.

0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:34.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, ask Ben in two point zero and a little

0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:35.200
<v Speaker 3>bit of sports mixed in.

0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:38.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, whatever caught our attention we talk about,

0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.120
<v Speaker 1>it's not It's not that deep, dude, you know what

0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:44.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. It's not that deep. Okay, Joe in New

0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:47.800
<v Speaker 1>York writes and he says, hey, Ben, I saw that

0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Logan Paul and Jake Paul this week had their own

0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:56.160
<v Speaker 1>version of a malord meet and greet in Times Square,

0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 1>but no one showed up. Uh has this ever happened.

0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.000
<v Speaker 4>Like a Doug Gottlieb remote.

0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Or like a Doug Gottlieb coach basketball team? Oh no,

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:17.360
<v Speaker 1>all right, No, we love you, Doug. We're big fans

0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:20.079
<v Speaker 1>of Green Bay. Maybe you'll win five games next year. Anyway,

0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:21.119
<v Speaker 1>Joe writes.

0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.800
<v Speaker 3>In nobody showed up because Doug's fans live in other states.

0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:28.079
<v Speaker 1>That's right, that's right. Yeah, no, but so Joe sent

0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 1>a link here. So Logan Paul, Jake Paul had a

0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 1>meet and greet in Times Square and nobody showed up. Uh.

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 1>So the question was has this ever had me Fortunately, no,

0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.480
<v Speaker 1>although we did have almost we only had a couple

0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:46.400
<v Speaker 1>of people show up in Appleton, and Appleton, Wisconsin was

0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.640
<v Speaker 1>very small. That was the smallest one we've had. I

0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:49.880
<v Speaker 1>was worried no one was going to show up. We

0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:53.199
<v Speaker 1>had a few people show up from Green Bay and

0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:56.200
<v Speaker 1>one dude, I think they're like four four people showed

0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.080
<v Speaker 1>up to that. That was the That was the one

0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.160
<v Speaker 1>that came close to having no one show up. But

0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.559
<v Speaker 1>other than that, we've done pretty well and we did

0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:07.120
<v Speaker 1>very well in Boston. Vegas was great, Minnesota was wonderful,

0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:11.000
<v Speaker 1>The la Ones have always been really good. We did

0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:14.959
<v Speaker 1>pretty well in Charleston. So yeah, we have never I'm

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna jix myself now, I'm gonna jinx myself. But to

0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:22.280
<v Speaker 1>this point we've never had no one show up, which

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:26.160
<v Speaker 1>would be very very unfortunate. And how did that happen.

0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:30.760
<v Speaker 1>I thought Jake Paul and Logan Paul were like popular,

0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.040
<v Speaker 1>are they not? I don't know, They're not popular to me,

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:34.719
<v Speaker 1>but I think I'm too old for there.

0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:39.040
<v Speaker 3>No, I mean I would have I would have assumed

0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.920
<v Speaker 3>that they would have a decent sized crowd. Maybe it

0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:43.320
<v Speaker 3>wasn't promoted properly.

0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Or it's all smoking mirrors, And it's like the

0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:52.920
<v Speaker 1>matrix and what I always say about social media and

0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:57.079
<v Speaker 1>and all that, that it's just algorithms and bots and

0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:59.520
<v Speaker 1>this that and the other thing, and AI.

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:03.360
<v Speaker 3>Like all those supporters are not tangible in real life.

0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:10.200
<v Speaker 1>A lot of what goes on on social media is

0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:13.480
<v Speaker 1>not you can't monetize it. It's not like legit. It's like,

0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:19.560
<v Speaker 1>aren't there more more people on Instagram that have a million?

0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:22.240
<v Speaker 1>There's not what was the number, I gotta find the number,

0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:24.280
<v Speaker 1>but there's like more people on Instagram that have a

0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:27.120
<v Speaker 1>million followers or something like that that actual people on

0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:31.400
<v Speaker 1>the planet, meaning the population. If you took all those

0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:34.000
<v Speaker 1>millions of people, there's a lot of fakeness, is what

0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:37.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to say, right, A lot of it's smoking mirrors.

0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:41.199
<v Speaker 3>By the way, I saw Doug in our La studios

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:41.960
<v Speaker 3>last week.

0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Is he recruiting? Is he trying to get some kid

0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:45.680
<v Speaker 1>from Tustin to come joining?

0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:47.920
<v Speaker 4>Well, I was telling him about cos skills.

0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 3>Hey, yeah, you can never start, you know, getting your

0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:55.680
<v Speaker 3>son's film out there too soon. But he asked me

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:57.920
<v Speaker 3>how the Fifth Hour podcast was doing. And I talked

0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.360
<v Speaker 3>to him for a couple of minutes, you know, him

0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:02.800
<v Speaker 3>being a coach now too. I felt like he should

0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:05.400
<v Speaker 3>have had lunch catered for our studios that day.

0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just charge it to green Bay, come on, man?

0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Exactly was Doug surprise when he got to La he

0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.680
<v Speaker 1>was greeted by this thing called the Sun? Was he like, whoa,

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:18.360
<v Speaker 1>what is that? There's a thing called the Sun? Where

0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:20.680
<v Speaker 1>did that come from? I can't believe it. Did he

0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.760
<v Speaker 1>wear the pullover Green Bay thing? You know, the pullover

0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:26.720
<v Speaker 1>that says the Green Bay logo on it and all that.

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:27.560
<v Speaker 4>I didn't know.

0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:31.040
<v Speaker 3>I didn't see any I didn't see any slag on him. Yeah,

0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.760
<v Speaker 3>I would wear it was incognito. He was in well

0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:36.640
<v Speaker 3>you know, he was dressed as a broadcaster.

0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I think you'd agreed, Danny, the way Green

0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Bay performed this past year, you probably should go incognito. No,

0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:47.680
<v Speaker 1>he should go definitely go incognito. Next up is Dave

0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:52.840
<v Speaker 1>in Boise, Idaho. He says, Hey, Ben and Danny, I

0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:56.000
<v Speaker 1>know you guys are not big fans of my state.

0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:58.000
<v Speaker 1>You never talk about it, but I thought this would

0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:03.160
<v Speaker 1>be interesting for the podcast. And he says that the

0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:07.560
<v Speaker 1>governor of Idaho has signed a law this week that

0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:14.480
<v Speaker 1>has made it illegal to have truck nuts. Yeah, you

0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:21.040
<v Speaker 1>cannot have have the the truck nuts. I rotate nuts. Well,

0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:25.520
<v Speaker 1>that's peanuts, you know, you know what, you know what

0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:29.240
<v Speaker 1>truck nuts are, Danny, right, the little scrot them, the

0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:34.000
<v Speaker 1>fake scrotum that attaches to the back of the back

0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:40.640
<v Speaker 1>of the truck, and it says a common decency. Many

0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.320
<v Speaker 1>years ago, Florida attempted to make truck nuts illegal with

0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:46.120
<v Speaker 1>a law that proposed a sixty dollars fine, but it

0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:51.040
<v Speaker 1>failed to pass. South Carolina had a legal battle after

0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:55.240
<v Speaker 1>a woman got a four hundred and forty five dollars

0:15:55.240 --> 0:16:01.560
<v Speaker 1>ticket for violating obscenity laws. But according to the story

0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:06.480
<v Speaker 1>that was sent here by Dave from Boise, Idaho, he

0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:10.040
<v Speaker 1>says House built two seventy recently went into effect and

0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:15.160
<v Speaker 1>it updated pre existing indecent exposure law that now outlaws

0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:20.120
<v Speaker 1>the public display of female breasts, male breast altered to

0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:24.880
<v Speaker 1>look like female breasts, and toy products that resemble genitals.

0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:30.640
<v Speaker 1>I've never been to Ido. Have you been to Idaho

0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:32.800
<v Speaker 1>with Covino and Rich or anything, or just gone up

0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:33.800
<v Speaker 1>fishing or anything.

0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:37.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I've been to Idaho. Been a hiking Yeah, on

0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:42.240
<v Speaker 3>a hiking trip. Beautiful man rolling green hills on the

0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:48.040
<v Speaker 3>way into Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Okay, there are huge, sprawling estates.

0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:51.720
<v Speaker 3>You can build a retirement home on a ton of property.

0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:54.960
<v Speaker 3>And my cousin and I we were blown away by

0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:58.120
<v Speaker 3>all these homes we saw. And my cousin told me,

0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:01.280
<v Speaker 3>He's like, man, this is the spot to retire right here.

0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:05.880
<v Speaker 1>I've known a few people that at social events I've

0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:09.160
<v Speaker 1>gone to with the wife. And a lot of cops

0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:11.240
<v Speaker 1>retire in Idah. I think it's a big cop place.

0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Like a lot of cops go up there, and like

0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:15.960
<v Speaker 1>from La, I'm pretty sure.

0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:18.000
<v Speaker 3>There's a lot of Hollywood folks that have moved to

0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.840
<v Speaker 3>Actors actresses that have moved out that way to get

0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:21.640
<v Speaker 3>out of La.

0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, definitely often.

0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:28.560
<v Speaker 3>I know Mario Lopez brought his family out there is

0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:29.119
<v Speaker 3>that right?

0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Is that right?

0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:32.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they still have a residence here in southern California,

0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:36.400
<v Speaker 3>but they built a house there in Idaho. My wife's

0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:40.120
<v Speaker 3>uncle and aunt are building a big home in Idaho

0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.280
<v Speaker 3>right now. So yeah, that is a spot where people

0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.520
<v Speaker 3>on the West Coast especially look to retire.

0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Cool. Are you planning to retire, Danny? Have you mapped

0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:52.680
<v Speaker 1>out your retirement plans there?

0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:56.720
<v Speaker 3>And dude, my retirement plan is in full effect once

0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:57.880
<v Speaker 3>I turned ninety three.

0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:00.440
<v Speaker 1>You're starting right now.

0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:04.520
<v Speaker 4>You'll start saving seven good years left. Wrong.

0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Once CoA goes number one in the NFL draft, you'll

0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:09.840
<v Speaker 1>be you'll be ready to go.

0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:13.000

<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't really have a problem with with

0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:21.000
<v Speaker 1>fake nuts on a truck.

0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:21.399
<v Speaker 4>I don't.

0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:23.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's the greatest look in the world,

0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:26.040
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think it's something that needs to be

0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:27.120
<v Speaker 1>punished by the law.

0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:30.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh, Ben, really quick, though, I don't know falls there

0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:33.119
<v Speaker 3>were a ton of large people there. We stopped in

0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:36.760
<v Speaker 3>a diner and oh my goodness, there were big people

0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:37.160
<v Speaker 3>in there.

0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:39.919
<v Speaker 1>Is that right? Well, that actually is perfect, Danny, are

0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:42.320
<v Speaker 1>you looking at my notes here? Are you cheating?

0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:42.720
<v Speaker 4>Nanny?

0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:47.280
<v Speaker 3>No, No, we're just in sync because Billy rights in,

0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:49.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm justin Timberlake.

0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Apparently, so Billy writes in he says, uh, I guess

0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:57.240
<v Speaker 1>parts unknown. By the way, he did not. Billy did

0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:01.640
<v Speaker 1>not say where he is actually residing, so part's unknown.

0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:04.560
<v Speaker 1>He says, Ben, I heard you mentioned Desmond Watson this

0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:07.760
<v Speaker 1>week on the Overnight Show, and I want to know,

0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.320
<v Speaker 1>if you're a man of your word, will you actually

0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:16.840
<v Speaker 1>get one of his jerseys. So, for those that didn't

0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:21.000
<v Speaker 1>hear the Overnight Show, I did Billy mention that I

0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:23.600
<v Speaker 1>am a big fan of Desmond Watson. I believe he

0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:28.560
<v Speaker 1>is the kid's name, Desmond Watson. He is the humongous

0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:33.720
<v Speaker 1>defensive tackle from the University of Florida that, if he

0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:39.439
<v Speaker 1>is drafted, will be the heaviest player drafted in NFL

0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:41.199
<v Speaker 1>history by almost one hundred pounds.

0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:45.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I'm looking him up right now. Desmond Watson four

0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:47.880
<v Speaker 3>hundred and forty nine pounds.

0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:51.520
<v Speaker 1>No, he's bigger than that. He's like forced safety. He

0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:54.199
<v Speaker 1>weighed in on his pro day. He's projected as a

0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Day three pick. He weighed in at four hundred and

0:19:56.520 --> 0:20:01.320
<v Speaker 1>sixty four pounds. Oh yeah, he but he big boy.

0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:05.320
<v Speaker 1>He benched two hundred and twenty five pounds thirty six times.

0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:09.560
<v Speaker 1>That's the most of any player that he wasn't at

0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:13.200
<v Speaker 1>the combine, but no players at the combine bench that much.

0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:17.159
<v Speaker 1>He also completed the forty yard dash in five point

0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:20.080
<v Speaker 1>thirty nine seconds and almost five hundred pounds.

0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:21.399
<v Speaker 4>Wow.

0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:27.480
<v Speaker 1>The dudes athletic. So yeah, I'm a big fan. Billy

0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:31.080
<v Speaker 1>from Parts Unknown. I'm pulling for the kid. Well I

0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:32.760
<v Speaker 1>actually buy a jersey? Probably not.

0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:34.600
<v Speaker 4>What does he eat?

0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Donuts and traduccin and.

0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:40.919
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna do for the combine, get heavier.

0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:43.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna eat those three layer burritos is what I'm

0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:46.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna eat. That's what I'm going for. Man, you talk

0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:49.280
<v Speaker 1>about the great fat Hope Desmond Watts. I hope the

0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Rams draft that guy. The Rams draft him. I'll have

0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:53.080
<v Speaker 1>to buy a jersey. I do think I'm a little

0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:55.960
<v Speaker 1>too old for that, but I don't know. I man,

0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:58.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm pulling for the kid. I hope he makes it.

0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:02.080
<v Speaker 1>That's every fat kid's hero right there. If he squashed it,

0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:07.080
<v Speaker 1>literally squashes the record by eighty pounds. Currently the heaviest

0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:10.600
<v Speaker 1>player ever drafted in the NFL, weighed in at three

0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:13.440
<v Speaker 1>hundred and eighty pounds. There's a couple of offensive linemen,

0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:19.000
<v Speaker 1>most recently was Trent Brown, who's actually had a decent career.

0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:23.040
<v Speaker 1>But this guy Watson's again almost one hundred pounds heavier

0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:29.359
<v Speaker 1>then that that is as wild. And he never missed

0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:30.320
<v Speaker 1>a game at Florida.

0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:31.080
<v Speaker 4>You know that.

0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:34.520
<v Speaker 1>I watched him play defensive tackle, but he he had

0:21:34.560 --> 0:21:38.119
<v Speaker 1>some decent stats and he moves very well. He moves

0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:40.679
<v Speaker 1>like he's a normal sized player. So that's that's the

0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:41.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of guy.

0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:41.320
<v Speaker 4>Dan.

0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:42.840
<v Speaker 1>If you're an NFL team, draft that guy in the

0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:47.080
<v Speaker 1>sixth round. If you can get him to lose i

0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:50.720
<v Speaker 1>don't know, seventy pounds or something like that, get under

0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:53.520
<v Speaker 1>four hundred, man, that's it.

0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:54.800
<v Speaker 4>I having him lose anything.

0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:57.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm having him gain thirty more pounds and then I'm

0:21:57.760 --> 0:21:59.639
<v Speaker 3>gonna just put him in whenever i have to do

0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:00.680
<v Speaker 3>the push play.

0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, No, he's a defensive second, so he could stop

0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:04.200
<v Speaker 1>the toush push.

0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:07.760
<v Speaker 4>No, I would put him in on offense. I'd use

0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:09.040
<v Speaker 4>them like a refrigerator.

0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Perry oh Man, that is that is a great story. Billy,

0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:16.359
<v Speaker 1>but again unlikely to buy actually buy his jersey, but

0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:18.320
<v Speaker 1>I will be a fan. I will support him and

0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:21.800
<v Speaker 1>hope he does very well for sure, Mike. And Fullerton

0:22:21.840 --> 0:22:23.800
<v Speaker 1>writes in on the mailback and says, hey, Ben and Danny,

0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:27.520
<v Speaker 1>g do you think if the Dodgers stay healthy they

0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:31.359
<v Speaker 1>have a legit shot at a perfect season this year?

0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I know it's never been done before, but if anyone

0:22:34.520 --> 0:22:37.800
<v Speaker 1>can do it, it's this year's Dodgers. On paper, they

0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:41.280
<v Speaker 1>look unbeatable. Also, do you know if mercury being in

0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:43.960
<v Speaker 1>retrograde is a good thing or a bad thing. I've

0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:46.840
<v Speaker 1>listened to Andrea's calls for years and I still.

0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:47.439
<v Speaker 4>Have no idea.

0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:50.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so pretty sure Mike that you don't have to

0:22:50.880 --> 0:22:53.560
<v Speaker 1>worry about the Dodgers being perfect. And as far as

0:22:54.280 --> 0:22:57.400
<v Speaker 1>as far as the mercury and retrograde, I generally it's

0:22:57.400 --> 0:23:00.480
<v Speaker 1>a bad thing unless it fits the narrati, it's a

0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:04.280
<v Speaker 1>good thing. So it really it's wonderful. You can manipulate.

0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:07.000
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of like playto Danny, mercury being in retro red.

0:23:07.080 --> 0:23:10.480
<v Speaker 1>You can move it to whatever fits your agenda. It's

0:23:10.560 --> 0:23:13.920
<v Speaker 1>like that after the fact reporting when people talk about

0:23:13.960 --> 0:23:16.040
<v Speaker 1>this team didn't get along very well, and then they

0:23:16.080 --> 0:23:18.520
<v Speaker 1>win the Super Bowl. Well they didn't. They didn't they

0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:21.080
<v Speaker 1>didn't get along. Well, that's what the reason was for

0:23:21.119 --> 0:23:22.840
<v Speaker 1>them to win is because they didn't get along well.

0:23:22.840 --> 0:23:25.560
<v Speaker 1>So it kind of drove them to win. And then

0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:27.760
<v Speaker 1>if it doesn't work out, they didn't win because they

0:23:27.760 --> 0:23:30.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't get along. So whatever fits the narrative, you just

0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:32.359
<v Speaker 1>plug it in and you're good to go.

0:23:33.080 --> 0:23:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Andrea, she has magical powers. It's true because every time

0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:41.000
<v Speaker 3>I hear her on your show, she magically turns into

0:23:41.160 --> 0:23:41.960
<v Speaker 3>Amy Lawrence.

0:23:43.840 --> 0:23:47.679
<v Speaker 1>Oh how that's a low blow. That is a low blow.

0:23:48.760 --> 0:23:51.239
<v Speaker 1>What was she's gonna do now? Amy Lawrence gave up

0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:54.600
<v Speaker 1>the overnight show?

0:23:54.800 --> 0:23:55.119
<v Speaker 4>Uh?

0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Gary in Pa, you know, I don't know ferk Dog.

0:23:58.280 --> 0:23:59.280
<v Speaker 1>I'll ask her next time.

0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:02.560
<v Speaker 4>Is very nice lady, by the way, he's a lovely lady.

0:24:02.600 --> 0:24:05.160
<v Speaker 1>In my apologies to her. Gary and Pittsburgh writing.

0:24:05.240 --> 0:24:07.280
<v Speaker 3>The phone calls and she would ask me about my

0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:09.879
<v Speaker 3>family for about ten minutes, and then you'd leave her

0:24:09.920 --> 0:24:11.000
<v Speaker 3>on hold for another hour.

0:24:11.359 --> 0:24:14.960
<v Speaker 1>That's right, Gary, sometimes two hours. Gary and Pittsburgh write.

0:24:15.000 --> 0:24:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Since has been as a person that listens to your

0:24:17.640 --> 0:24:21.680
<v Speaker 1>show but hides behind their email as some gasbag once said,

0:24:22.119 --> 0:24:25.440
<v Speaker 1>I came across a pretty good deal in the coupons

0:24:25.440 --> 0:24:30.040
<v Speaker 1>that come from our grocery ads. Apparently Arby's money laundering

0:24:30.080 --> 0:24:33.040
<v Speaker 1>in Pittsburgh. I guess that's for you. Daddy in Pittsburgh

0:24:33.400 --> 0:24:36.000
<v Speaker 1>must be off the charts. They have a coupon deal

0:24:36.080 --> 0:24:40.399
<v Speaker 1>for fifteen dollars six mozzarella sticks, two beef and cheddar,

0:24:40.880 --> 0:24:45.960
<v Speaker 1>two medium fries, and two drinks and two apple turnovers. Man,

0:24:46.560 --> 0:24:49.280
<v Speaker 1>in this day and age, I think that is as

0:24:49.520 --> 0:24:52.920
<v Speaker 1>fair as it gets, and will probably do this. We'll

0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:56.199
<v Speaker 1>probably do this, he says, your thoughts as this is

0:24:56.400 --> 0:25:00.359
<v Speaker 1>what half of that offer would be in californ.

0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:05.720
<v Speaker 3>We talked about the prices yesterday. This sounds like the cartel.

0:25:08.320 --> 0:25:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Now you get six mazzarella sticks. That's a nice appetizer,

0:25:10.880 --> 0:25:14.520
<v Speaker 1>two beef and cheddar, two medium fries, and two drinks

0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:19.960
<v Speaker 1>and two apple turnovers. That would cost at least seventy dollars.

0:25:19.840 --> 0:25:22.240
<v Speaker 4>In LA at least one visit to the er.

0:25:22.720 --> 0:25:26.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well that's worth it. He also says Gary's waiting

0:25:26.160 --> 0:25:29.320
<v Speaker 1>for the dates for Columbus the Columbus Meet and greet.

0:25:29.400 --> 0:25:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Brush up on your hockey knowledge, since that is the

0:25:32.800 --> 0:25:37.880
<v Speaker 1>decor of that bar, Google Orums Donuts as I will

0:25:37.920 --> 0:25:40.840
<v Speaker 1>be bringing you some of their famous cinnamon bunsh I

0:25:40.960 --> 0:25:44.440
<v Speaker 1>like the sound of that. That are the size of Frisbees,

0:25:44.840 --> 0:25:52.040
<v Speaker 1>says Gary in Pittsburgh. Wow, ah, man, cinnabuns cinnamon rolls.

0:25:52.280 --> 0:25:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Is there anything better?

0:25:54.080 --> 0:25:56.919
<v Speaker 3>When they give you a little sample? Yeah, at a

0:25:56.960 --> 0:25:59.560
<v Speaker 3>cinnabon and in the mall, that's enough. Like I'll get

0:25:59.560 --> 0:26:03.440
<v Speaker 3>two sand samples in that. That's gotta be sixty grams

0:26:03.440 --> 0:26:06.040
<v Speaker 3>of sugar in the two little tiny samples. Who could

0:26:06.080 --> 0:26:08.920
<v Speaker 3>sit there and eat a huge cinnamon roll?

0:26:09.840 --> 0:26:10.199
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:26:10.359 --> 0:26:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, Danny, it obviously depends on how old you are, right,

0:26:15.000 --> 0:26:17.720
<v Speaker 1>because you're you're at the age now, Danny where you're like,

0:26:17.760 --> 0:26:19.159
<v Speaker 1>you know how many grams of sugar?

0:26:19.359 --> 0:26:22.200
<v Speaker 4>But if but I couldn't eat that when I was twenty.

0:26:22.440 --> 0:26:26.159
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I probably could have back in my big eating days.

0:26:26.440 --> 0:26:28.639
<v Speaker 1>Well didn't you stop? Used to stop? What's that place?

0:26:28.720 --> 0:26:29.040
<v Speaker 4>Is it in?

0:26:30.359 --> 0:26:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Not Santa Cruz, Central California that's got the rolls?

0:26:34.320 --> 0:26:36.040
<v Speaker 4>Pismo Beach, Pismo Beach.

0:26:36.119 --> 0:26:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, Pismo Beach.

0:26:37.320 --> 0:26:41.160
<v Speaker 3>We're a famous Yeah, there's a famous cinnamon role play.

0:26:41.280 --> 0:26:44.359
<v Speaker 1>It's a wonderful place, always packed there's people lined up

0:26:44.400 --> 0:26:45.600
<v Speaker 1>out the out the door there.

0:26:45.640 --> 0:26:46.600
<v Speaker 4>It's awesome.

0:26:47.440 --> 0:26:50.200
<v Speaker 1>But those those are regular sized cinnamon rolls. Those are

0:26:50.240 --> 0:26:54.480
<v Speaker 1>not the size of Frisbees. But but Gary, very kind.

0:26:54.480 --> 0:26:57.120
<v Speaker 1>I look forward to meeting you, Gary. Continue to beat

0:26:57.160 --> 0:27:02.120
<v Speaker 1>it behind your email all right, Marcus writes it from

0:27:02.160 --> 0:27:06.040
<v Speaker 1>San Antonio. He says, Hey, Ben and Danny g I

0:27:06.160 --> 0:27:10.840
<v Speaker 1>have mentioned in previous mail bag questions that we were

0:27:10.920 --> 0:27:14.359
<v Speaker 1>lucky enough to be read on the Real Fifth Hour podcast.

0:27:14.400 --> 0:27:18.040
<v Speaker 1>My first experience at AM radio was listening to Kansas

0:27:18.080 --> 0:27:21.919
<v Speaker 1>City Royals games and follow up postgame shows, the fan shows.

0:27:22.320 --> 0:27:26.840
<v Speaker 1>I remember watching WKRP and since a Naty as a kid,

0:27:26.920 --> 0:27:30.880
<v Speaker 1>and Frasier on TV and thought, what a glamorous life

0:27:30.960 --> 0:27:34.040
<v Speaker 1>it would be to work in a radio station, listening

0:27:34.040 --> 0:27:36.679
<v Speaker 1>to several hosts cry about the demands of the job

0:27:36.760 --> 0:27:41.000
<v Speaker 1>and former athletes that have basically ruined sports talk radio.

0:27:41.400 --> 0:27:45.240
<v Speaker 1>There's one thing that still makes me wonder about to

0:27:45.280 --> 0:27:48.439
<v Speaker 1>this day. Every once in a while, there seems to

0:27:48.440 --> 0:27:52.000
<v Speaker 1>be an extended, I mean really long commercial break. I

0:27:52.040 --> 0:27:55.479
<v Speaker 1>always thought the host was arguing with the producer or

0:27:55.520 --> 0:27:59.480
<v Speaker 1>some kind of bathroom emergency. Can you explain why Sometimes

0:27:59.520 --> 0:28:03.000
<v Speaker 1>these extends breaks just seem to come out of nowhere.

0:28:04.400 --> 0:28:06.800
<v Speaker 1>It would be nice to get some closure on this.

0:28:06.880 --> 0:28:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Truly appreciate you guys keeping me company on the weekends.

0:28:11.080 --> 0:28:15.560
<v Speaker 1>That is from Marcus in San Antonio. So, Marcus, this

0:28:15.680 --> 0:28:21.200
<v Speaker 1>must be a local radio issue because we have a

0:28:21.720 --> 0:28:26.560
<v Speaker 1>formatted clock by the clock, all about the clock, living

0:28:26.600 --> 0:28:28.679
<v Speaker 1>for the clock. It's all about the clock. But on

0:28:28.760 --> 0:28:31.880
<v Speaker 1>local radio, I do know sometimes you move commercials around,

0:28:31.960 --> 0:28:36.040
<v Speaker 1>and I know that occasionally you need to go a

0:28:36.119 --> 0:28:36.960
<v Speaker 1>little bit long.

0:28:37.320 --> 0:28:37.520
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:28:37.560 --> 0:28:40.400
<v Speaker 1>We have had some hosts you may or may not

0:28:40.520 --> 0:28:43.040
<v Speaker 1>have worked with, one who may or may not have

0:28:43.080 --> 0:28:45.840
<v Speaker 1>gone on to sit in the most famous chair in radio,

0:28:46.200 --> 0:28:50.720
<v Speaker 1>the Limbaugh chair, who would occasionally kind of fluts around

0:28:50.760 --> 0:28:53.280
<v Speaker 1>with the clock, which would create some very tough situations

0:28:54.160 --> 0:28:56.840
<v Speaker 1>as we go out. You know what I'm saying. I mean,

0:28:57.120 --> 0:28:59.880
<v Speaker 1>but generally speaking, we're not able to do that, right Dan,

0:29:00.160 --> 0:29:01.800
<v Speaker 1>we can't really mess Oh.

0:29:01.600 --> 0:29:04.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean, well, I did one time have the heart

0:29:04.360 --> 0:29:06.000
<v Speaker 3>out run into a heart out.

0:29:06.240 --> 0:29:09.960
<v Speaker 4>You ever heard of that?

0:29:10.520 --> 0:29:14.760
<v Speaker 3>So nobody knew what to do because it had never

0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:15.720
<v Speaker 3>happened before.

0:29:19.160 --> 0:29:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's so good, Oh man. The worst I've had

0:29:22.880 --> 0:29:27.440
<v Speaker 1>I did. I came back at the top of the

0:29:27.480 --> 0:29:29.880
<v Speaker 1>hour before the top of the hour, the final segment,

0:29:29.960 --> 0:29:33.640
<v Speaker 1>and I think I had seventeen seconds, I believe. I

0:29:33.760 --> 0:29:37.680
<v Speaker 1>said alone and gave the name of the show, and

0:29:38.440 --> 0:29:41.280
<v Speaker 1>we went right back and that was that was that

0:29:41.480 --> 0:29:45.080
<v Speaker 1>about seventeen seconds and the greatest.

0:29:44.800 --> 0:29:47.120
<v Speaker 4>Sound my heart out hit in the middle of the

0:29:47.120 --> 0:29:48.280
<v Speaker 4>top of the hour. Update.

0:29:49.200 --> 0:29:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there were legendary stories about that show. And because

0:29:54.760 --> 0:29:57.520
<v Speaker 1>if they were just rolling, they would just keep going,

0:29:57.760 --> 0:30:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and which is great, and you can do that alone

0:30:00.000 --> 0:30:03.640
<v Speaker 1>local radio. The problem with us is we're feeding all

0:30:03.640 --> 0:30:05.840
<v Speaker 1>these other stations and so if you if you don't

0:30:06.000 --> 0:30:13.720
<v Speaker 1>follow the clock, it creates what's it called danny a bottleneck, right, well, gridlock.

0:30:13.720 --> 0:30:16.760
<v Speaker 3>Like a it's like a train wreck, but millions of

0:30:16.800 --> 0:30:19.160
<v Speaker 3>people die in the train crash, and.

0:30:19.080 --> 0:30:21.479
<v Speaker 1>There's no way around it. There's really no way around it.

0:30:21.480 --> 0:30:22.719
<v Speaker 1>You're you're just doomed.

0:30:23.760 --> 0:30:23.920
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:30:23.960 --> 0:30:27.240
<v Speaker 1>There is a famous story markers in local radio. There

0:30:27.360 --> 0:30:31.920
<v Speaker 1>was a talk show host in Los Angeles who had

0:30:32.120 --> 0:30:36.280
<v Speaker 1>eaten lunch before his afternoon drive show, and the lunch

0:30:36.360 --> 0:30:39.760
<v Speaker 1>did not agree with the host, and the host did

0:30:39.800 --> 0:30:42.560
<v Speaker 1>the opening segment of his show and then realized he

0:30:42.640 --> 0:30:44.040
<v Speaker 1>had to go to the powder room.

0:30:45.320 --> 0:30:46.840
<v Speaker 4>And for what did you eat.

0:30:47.640 --> 0:30:51.120
<v Speaker 1>It was not it was not me, but for forty minutes,

0:30:52.040 --> 0:30:56.520
<v Speaker 1>that host was taking a bow movement and they had

0:30:56.560 --> 0:31:00.880
<v Speaker 1>to play. They played forty minutes of commercial and music,

0:31:01.280 --> 0:31:03.240
<v Speaker 1>which is not you're not supposed to play music on

0:31:03.240 --> 0:31:05.640
<v Speaker 1>a sports station because this guy had to go to

0:31:05.680 --> 0:31:09.160
<v Speaker 1>the bathroom and it was a classic.

0:31:09.120 --> 0:31:11.240
<v Speaker 3>That happened one time on the Jay Moore Show, except

0:31:11.320 --> 0:31:12.360
<v Speaker 3>he was doing something else.

0:31:13.160 --> 0:31:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, he was probably looking up some laker information or

0:31:16.280 --> 0:31:21.080
<v Speaker 1>something like that. Probably show sure. Marcus from Bruce phil Eddie,

0:31:21.480 --> 0:31:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Texas right soon says, hey, you guys talked last week

0:31:23.920 --> 0:31:27.560
<v Speaker 1>about when COVID had hit and still doing the radio station.

0:31:27.880 --> 0:31:31.480
<v Speaker 1>I remember at one point there was nothing going on

0:31:31.600 --> 0:31:35.960
<v Speaker 1>in the sports world. Everybody was scrambling for stories. My

0:31:36.200 --> 0:31:40.040
<v Speaker 1>local station here in Waco had their host talk for

0:31:40.120 --> 0:31:44.200
<v Speaker 1>an hour and a half about his daily routine from

0:31:44.240 --> 0:31:47.880
<v Speaker 1>getting up, eating breakfast, showering, and going to bed. I

0:31:48.120 --> 0:31:52.280
<v Speaker 1>thought that was hilarious. Did you guys have any moments

0:31:52.320 --> 0:31:56.920
<v Speaker 1>like that? That's from Marcus, Yeah, we certainly did. Danny.

0:31:57.480 --> 0:31:59.480
<v Speaker 1>The great thing is that the management was like, listen,

0:31:59.560 --> 0:32:02.520
<v Speaker 1>there's not them that you normally do. That's going to

0:32:02.560 --> 0:32:05.400
<v Speaker 1>be normal, So just do whatever you have to do,

0:32:05.480 --> 0:32:08.000
<v Speaker 1>you know. I think one of the lines they said was,

0:32:09.240 --> 0:32:12.480
<v Speaker 1>I know we're doing sports talk, but you're just doing talk.

0:32:12.600 --> 0:32:14.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, you just just you know, get through it.

0:32:14.360 --> 0:32:17.200
<v Speaker 1>You don't talk about it. Just that's it, you know.

0:32:17.320 --> 0:32:20.800
<v Speaker 1>One of my fondest memories. Besides you doing the Marble coverage,

0:32:21.480 --> 0:32:23.640
<v Speaker 1>we still had to get some guests on the air.

0:32:24.400 --> 0:32:27.000
<v Speaker 1>And you know, since there were no games being played,

0:32:27.600 --> 0:32:30.320
<v Speaker 1>there were a few, just a few sports.

0:32:29.840 --> 0:32:32.000
<v Speaker 4>That were operating. One of them was MMA.

0:32:32.760 --> 0:32:36.120
<v Speaker 3>So I got like the best writers and the dudes

0:32:36.200 --> 0:32:39.440
<v Speaker 3>in that industry that were the most respected to hop

0:32:39.480 --> 0:32:42.840
<v Speaker 3>on the phone with Clay Travis, and Clay was asking

0:32:42.880 --> 0:32:46.400
<v Speaker 3>them all about MMA, and they were breaking down all

0:32:46.440 --> 0:32:50.880
<v Speaker 3>the fights and the weight classes and everything, and it

0:32:51.080 --> 0:32:54.600
<v Speaker 3>sounded cool on the air, just because the MMA never

0:32:54.680 --> 0:32:57.000
<v Speaker 3>got primetime coverage like that before.

0:32:57.720 --> 0:33:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, for sure. Then they were the only game

0:33:00.560 --> 0:33:05.080
<v Speaker 1>in town. That and as we mentioned Korean baseball, we

0:33:05.080 --> 0:33:09.640
<v Speaker 1>were getting fed Korean baseball games, and that was the

0:33:10.000 --> 0:33:14.400
<v Speaker 1>sport and the stadium being empty and and all that.

0:33:14.440 --> 0:33:16.920
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, yeah, I mean, those those turned out to

0:33:16.960 --> 0:33:20.080
<v Speaker 1>be stories that we will tell. You know, we're old

0:33:20.120 --> 0:33:24.360
<v Speaker 1>guys in a rocking chair drinking lemonade, puking, my day

0:33:24.680 --> 0:33:29.240
<v Speaker 1>during the pandemic, and you know, tell those most stories,

0:33:29.280 --> 0:33:33.560
<v Speaker 1>and that's our that's a big moment, that nine to eleven.

0:33:33.680 --> 0:33:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Those are things that we'll we'll talk about for the

0:33:36.920 --> 0:33:39.200
<v Speaker 1>rest of our lives and then we'll be done, and

0:33:39.240 --> 0:33:41.880
<v Speaker 1>then they'll be on Wikipedia, and then they'll be that

0:33:42.120 --> 0:33:44.600
<v Speaker 1>and we'll move on to the next great disasters of

0:33:44.640 --> 0:33:47.400
<v Speaker 1>the world, which are who knows how far away right

0:33:47.560 --> 0:33:50.920
<v Speaker 1>always those those defining moments. I know when I was

0:33:51.160 --> 0:33:54.719
<v Speaker 1>first starting out. For the previous generation, it was like

0:33:54.760 --> 0:33:58.800
<v Speaker 1>the Kennedy assassination, the moon landing, those were like the

0:33:59.000 --> 0:34:01.960
<v Speaker 1>huge events. That was like the biggest. The Vietnam War

0:34:02.120 --> 0:34:06.560
<v Speaker 1>was a big one in their lives. The Depression. I know,

0:34:06.640 --> 0:34:13.279
<v Speaker 1>my grandparents, my mom also because of my grandparents and

0:34:13.320 --> 0:34:16.400
<v Speaker 1>the Great Depression, my grandparents, I was living through it.

0:34:16.520 --> 0:34:19.600
<v Speaker 1>My mom always had like fifty containers of toilet paper

0:34:19.760 --> 0:34:23.440
<v Speaker 1>and Kleenex and all the supplies because she was worried

0:34:23.480 --> 0:34:26.440
<v Speaker 1>about the depression. Of course, we ended up trying to

0:34:26.480 --> 0:34:31.320
<v Speaker 1>hoard toilet paper because of COVID. But you know, it's interesting.

0:34:31.320 --> 0:34:34.120
<v Speaker 3>When we were really little, one of those moments was

0:34:34.440 --> 0:34:35.840
<v Speaker 3>the Space Shuttle exploding.

0:34:35.920 --> 0:34:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yeah, what uh?

0:34:37.719 --> 0:34:39.680
<v Speaker 3>That was one of the first time I ever saw

0:34:39.800 --> 0:34:43.600
<v Speaker 3>grown adults crying all in their eyes about And then

0:34:43.719 --> 0:34:47.480
<v Speaker 3>how gangster our generation is? They they had us remain

0:34:47.560 --> 0:34:50.680
<v Speaker 3>in class and they the teachers blew their nose and

0:34:50.800 --> 0:34:54.360
<v Speaker 3>got some tissue and started teaching math again. Do you

0:34:54.480 --> 0:34:58.120
<v Speaker 3>imagine nowadays if something like that happened for a week.

0:34:58.600 --> 0:35:03.000
<v Speaker 1>They were absolutely right. Yeah, to put into context, like,

0:35:03.280 --> 0:35:05.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, lot most of our listeners are around our

0:35:05.960 --> 0:35:08.799
<v Speaker 1>age or older, you know, maybe a little younger. But

0:35:09.920 --> 0:35:16.160
<v Speaker 1>that Space shuttle with the teacher, every fucking kid, Danny,

0:35:16.960 --> 0:35:21.680
<v Speaker 1>every school, yes, watching that Space shuttle cub boom.

0:35:21.480 --> 0:35:24.719
<v Speaker 5>And we had it on a huge projector inside the

0:35:25.400 --> 0:35:30.080
<v Speaker 5>school's big library splash auditorium thing, so and all the classes,

0:35:30.120 --> 0:35:32.320
<v Speaker 5>all the teachers were in there watching it together.

0:35:33.120 --> 0:35:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Every kid watched a teacher die and a bunch of

0:35:38.440 --> 0:35:41.880
<v Speaker 1>other people and oh my god, it was such a debacle.

0:35:42.600 --> 0:35:44.640
<v Speaker 1>And we were like, we're going to send the letters.

0:35:44.680 --> 0:35:46.759
<v Speaker 1>Remember they ever gonna have every kid send a letter

0:35:46.880 --> 0:35:49.120
<v Speaker 1>to the astronauts.

0:35:48.480 --> 0:35:54.640
<v Speaker 3>And oh god, I still remember walking back to the classroom,

0:35:54.680 --> 0:35:58.400
<v Speaker 3>my teacher blubbering she had to like rub some dirt

0:35:58.440 --> 0:35:59.879
<v Speaker 3>on it and get back in the game.
