Are you a wine drinker? 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:21.519 I you know what? 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.679 I did partake in some wine when I lived on 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.480 the Central Coast or as we called it, the South 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:31.040 Central Coast because it was Laker country in Santa Maria, 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:35.880 Orchid lom Poke, Pismo Beach, San Luis Obispo. Tons of 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:39.400 Laker fans there. South Central Coast. They are wine country, 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.799 They're Santa Barbara County. And so they would have the 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:46.240 Santa Barbara County Fair and we'd have our big radio 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.400 station pop up tent with our table, and listeners would 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:51.799 come by and win prizes and all that. And when 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:54.560 I would take my break from the DJ booth, there 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:58.239 was a wine tent unlimited. You could taste all the 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.320 different kinds of wines from the region. So we would 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:04.400 get all buzzed and tipsy and then stumble back to 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:05.359 our DJ tent. 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:06.839 That was the move. 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:08.720 Yeah, it was good. It was so good. 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.440 I wish I was a wine drinker, because I've been 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:15.359 invited by people who love wine and I'm just not. 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:16.760 I'm not a wine guy. 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:20.440 You know, the white wine gives a lot of people headaches. 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.799 The red wine gives a lot of people indigestion or 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.760 acid reflux. Yeah, as me and my wife you have 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:29.280 gotten older, we've noticed the red wine that we drank 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.639 even three years ago kind of bothers our stomachs now, 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.160 So I feel like it's a young man's game. 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.400 Yeah, but I didn't like it when I was young. 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.480 And I'm like, there's places all over California, this big 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:44.920 wine country in San Diego, those places, and obviously where 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.320 you're from, and then further north is legendary. 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.200 Yeah, in northern California. You know what doesn't hurt your stomach? 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:53.200 But I don't know. If I don't know. 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.760 If you're a hibachi guy, have you ever had hot soaki? 0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:57.880 I have not. 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:00.760 You got to try that. They called us sake bomb. 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:02.080 That's the way to go. 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:02.520 Yeah. 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.920 They take a Japanese beer and you pour the hot 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:09.280 sake or you drop the hot sake into it. That buzz. 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.520 You're just laughing for no reason. You're laughing your ass off. 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:13.920 It's such a good buzz. 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:17.680 Man. 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:20.280 Why don't we start with Pop Goes to Culture? We 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:22.720 didn't get to that on Saturday. So can we get tho. 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:42.080 Pop Goes to Culture Chartjug. 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:47.000 Jug These are some oddball stories that caught my attention, 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.840 and we have a well, we'll start with this. Remember 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:55.040 the guy in Vegas that climbed the spear before the 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.960 Super Bowl. That's right, Yeah, big story there. The man 0:04:58.040 --> 0:04:59.599 climbed all the way to the top of the spear. 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:05.160 He now expects all the chargers to be dropped, despite 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:07.919 the fact there was a bunch of damage that supposedly 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:11.960 happened to that venue six figures, which I guess is 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:13.320 a lot. 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:17.440 But thats the ld like thousands, hundreds of thousands of 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:18.720 the led squares. 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.080 Yeah, yeah, they estimated aboute hundred thousand dollars in damage. 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:26.680 And that guy, the pro life spider man who used 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.120 his spidy like senses to climb all the way to 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:33.920 the top of viral a viral moment there Wednesday, prior 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.520 to the Super Bowl. Of course, he was then arrested, 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:41.599 but the expectation is those charges will be dropped. He's 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.040 He was described in the arrest report as an in 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:48.120 an engineer inside the spear was the first to notice 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:52.640 this guy climbing the top to the top there, and 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:56.480 then it went blow by blow on what happened. The 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:57.560 guy's twenty four years old. 0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.360 I didn't realize it was a pro life thing. 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:03.640 As a general rule, if you inconvenience people with your cause, 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.920 people will hate your cause no matter what your cause is. 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.680 Right in La here we have people that are protesting 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.560 wars and they close freeways. Well immediately I'm then pro 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:16.120 war and I'm not pro war. But if you inconvenience 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.600 me in my daily life for your cause, I will 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.279 then cheer for whatever you're cheering against to happen. 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.560 Or if you're just pulling a stunt. Ben remember when 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.680 that radio DJ had his haircut in the middle of 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:31.360 the bridge there in San Francisco, that man cow guy. 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:35.160 Yeah yeah, and it caused a backup for hours. The 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:36.640 city was furious. 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:37.520 Yeah. 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:42.200 If you close something and cause problems for somebody because 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:47.080 of your little cause, the people who are having their 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:50.880 lives affected will then openly support the other side of 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:53.560 your whatever you're for, they will then support the other side. 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.000 So anyway that we'll see if that actually happens. That 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.320 But the way the world now, I thought things were 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:02.920 a little different in Nevada. But the damage done, any 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:06.039 repairs to the spear will be done from inside the spear, 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:10.600 they claim, not outside inside. For whatever that's worth, what 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:15.560 else we have pop goes the culture people already returning 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:19.440 the Apple Vision pro headsets. Have you seen these things? 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:22.800 These Apple Vision pro headsets, which were all the rage 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:24.000 over the last couple of weeks here. 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.560 Yeah, very expensive, right, I've not seen a lot of 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:28.960 videos of people toying around with them online. 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.440 Yeah, good time killer, good time killer. 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:34.840 Yeah. And it's it's people who hate their lives and 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.040 they want to live in like a virtual reality. 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:41.440 I'm good. I feel like real life is virtual reality 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.360 a lot of the time. That's just kind of the 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:47.800 way the way it is. Let's see what else you have. 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.480 The bubonic play. Here's good is the bubonic plague has 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:51.360 returned to Oregon. 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:51.960 I saw this. 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:57.679 Yeah, bubonic play. 0:07:58.120 --> 0:07:58.640 That's great. 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:01.040 I'm sure they'll come up with the vaccine for that. 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:02.040 I have one. 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:05.240 But what do you think about the conspiracy theory that 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:10.480 twenty twenty four is just twenty twenty on repeat. First 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:14.160 you have the Chiefs beating the Niners, and now the 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:18.280 bubonic plague is about to strike just like COVID did 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:21.120 in twenty twenty right after the Super Bowl. 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:21.840 No less. 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.200 Well, this actually kind of relates to that because there 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:29.600 was a study done recently that tried to explain why 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:35.040 Americans have stopped hanging out with other Americans. And they 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:38.120 did some research from twenty three to twenty twenty two 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:43.000 American men reduced the average hours of face to face 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:49.880 socializing by roughly thirty percent. For unmarried Americans, it was 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:53.319 even bigger, more than thirty five percent. For teenagers, it 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:56.360 was almost fifty percent, more than forty five percent. Boys 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.560 and girls ages fifteen to nineteen reduced their weekly social 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:03.920 hangout time by more than three hours a week. And 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:08.160 there is no statistical record of any other period and 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:11.880 recorded US history when people have spent more time on 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:18.480 their own than now. So and you know why that is, Danny, 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:23.920 It's because of because of phones, social Media's like, people 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.679 are not hanging out with other people. We're from the 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:29.280 Stone Age, so we would hang out with the neighborhood kids, 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:31.719 or you'd hang out with your brothers and whatever to 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:34.760 kill time. We were just get into trouble because that's 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:36.760 what we had to do. But we didn't have any 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:37.400 other options. 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:41.520 But by the way, the other thing that's repeating, twenty twenty, 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.840 we had the Trump Biden stuff take over. Same thing's 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.800 gonna happen again this year, That's true, Yeah, except this 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:50.840 year it's going to be Trump versus Taylor Swift. 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:56.880 Yes, the Swifties for the White House. That's sort I 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:58.959 thought that story was interesting. They said that people it's 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.280 alone but not lonely. 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:05.720 That it just means that this generation, like that VR 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:09.079 headset or Apple's version of it, there's ways that this 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:14.160 generation can spend time and feel okay about it without 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:18.319 feeling lonely like maybe our parents or grandparents used to feel. 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.679 They said, people are like they're alone, but they're not 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:23.720 lonely because they're texting. 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:24.160 Right. 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:28.400 We have electronic games. Yeah, you have electronic company all 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:28.840 the time. 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.480 That's pretty it's pretty crazy. But this is in the 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.600 recorded history of humanity, since they killed track of this stuff, 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:40.240 it has never gone this direction as rapidly and plummeted 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:44.360 to the levels it's gone down this year so or 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.400 not this year, but this last last generation or so. 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:48.839 So that was that was kind of interesting. This is 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:50.439 actually a story from a few days ago, but I 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:52.079 don't think we talked about it last week because we 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:56.760 were doing the show from Vegas that the Chernobyl disaster 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:00.720 they have they're trying to figure out exactly how this happened. 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:05.199 But the wolves that were exposed to chernobyl have mutated 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:11.040 and are now resistant to cancer. That you know, think 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:14.959 about that that there is a way they don't have 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:18.079 to figure out how exactly does this mean you'd have 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:20.079 to like walk into a nuclear reactor. 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.240 To be cancer free? Or could you be like Homer 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:26.200 Simpson and just work out one you just. 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:31.040 Just eat donuts and sit there. But the wolves exposed 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:36.559 to chernobyl have mutated and they are cancer resilient and 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:42.600 resistant as well, and they claim the science community, of course, says, well, 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:44.640 this is what we're going to figure out how they're 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:48.640 doing it, and then we can help bring that to humans. 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:50.840 Good luck. 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.640 That's one of those I believe it when it actually happens, 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.360 because I've seen stories like this over the years, and 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.520 usually it's a bunch of bullshit and it's not actually 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:04.280 not actually true at all. All right, let's get to 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:08.360 the mail bag. That means ohio ow, good old ohiow. 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:25.760 It's all right, So the mailbak. These are actual letters 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:27.959 by actual listeners. We thank you for sending them in. 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:31.160 And the mail bag has been great, a lot of 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:34.400 new people each week. We're getting some new people here, 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:36.280 which is really neat. Not that we don't love the 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:39.000 old people. We love all people that are fans of 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.000 the podcast and send questions in but it's nice to 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.760 see some new names and some people that haven't been 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.040 part of it in the past that had something they 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:50.760 wanted to say. Uh for example, Carl in Philadelphia. By 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.839 the way, the email address is Ben Malor Show on 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:57.320 Facebook or Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Real 0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.920 fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Carl and Philly Wrights. 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.480 He says, Hey, Ben and Danny. Ben, I had a 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:06.040 question for you. Why did Mason the Millennial get upset 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:10.199 with you for not talking more about the shooting at 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.640 the Chiefs parade? He says. I listened to you guys 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:18.560 for lighthearted, sarcastic banter, not hard news stories. I can 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:19.520 find that elsewhere. 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.160 Thank you. That's carl sarcasm but. 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:28.240 Never Yeah, so, Carl, I thank you for the email. 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:30.559 I thank you for listening. Carl, and you'd have to 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:34.640 address Mason the Millennial. I had mixed reviews on that. 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:38.800 I made an editorial decision for better or worse, and 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.160 maybe that was the wrong decision, but I felt that 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:44.520 was something that happened after the parade. It was not 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:49.280 a sports story, and I chose to focus in on 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:52.439 sporting type stuff, and I made an editorial decision that 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:56.960 people tune in to the show to hear that kind 0:13:57.000 --> 0:14:00.280 of content and not the other kind of content. And 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:02.400 not that I didn't think it was terrible. And I 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.360 have friends in Kansas City. I have people that I 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.880 know who work in radio who their families were at 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:12.000 the parade. They had to one of my good radio friends. 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:16.000 His family had to shelter in place because of they 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.560 were so close. They saw people running through the lobby 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:22.880 of hotel with guns after the police were chasing one 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.960 of the people that were shooting one of the lunatics 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:29.800 at the parade. So I totally get all that, But 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:33.080 Carl I made that decision. Mason was upset, and there 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:36.120 were other people too. There were other people that wanted 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:40.320 me just to ride that that story and if it bleeds, 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:42.880 it leads, and I'm not sure what I could have 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:46.080 added to it. I gave my opinion on it, and 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:48.840 we moved on and we talked about some other stuff. 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:52.320 But thank you, Carl Mason. If you're listening and you 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:55.360 want to send an email to me, I'll pass it 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.520 on a car. I'll pass it on a car. Mike 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:01.480 in Fullerton writes in he says, Hi, guys, Happy Chinese 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.560 New Year. Ben and Danny g He says, I'm a 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.760 week late, but better late than never. How important is 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:12.000 your Chinese zodiac animal to you? I was born in 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.560 the Year of the aux and I've always taken a 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.760 lot of pride and that did either of you also 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:21.120 rent a scooter last week at Radio Row in Vegas? 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:24.760 Or did you learn from your lesson last year in Arizona? 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:28.280 Any scooters? I didn't see any scooters around the Mandalay Bay. 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:29.160 You know. 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:32.960 I actually saw one clown who was scootering through the 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:37.880 Mandalay Bay Casino on scooters inside the casino. 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:42.080 Seems like a good idea unless it's not. No, I didn't. 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.560 I didn't see any. But that's a big that's a 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.040 big casino. As far as the sign that I am 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:49.880 the Rabbit, I'm not proud of that. I'm a little 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:53.840 embarrassed by that. Mike the Rabbit, I'm not happy. I 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:55.960 wish I was like the snake or something like that. 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.000 Yeah, you're not like mine. 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:02.440 Yeah it's not not particularly good, not particularly good at all. 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:05.320 But what's yours? I'm the year of snuffle up againsts 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:07.960 stuff ah, I love snuffle up. Yeah, yeah, I would 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:09.440 have liked to have be an oscar, the grouse that 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:10.040 would have been. 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:12.680 I wanted to be count because I thought I was 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:14.880 a badass because I could count to twenty even when 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:16.240 I was a tiny little kid. 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:17.280 Twenty. 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:23.640 How many animals do they rotate on the Chinese calendar? 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:24.200 Do they have? 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:25.480 It's a good question. 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:34.360 Let's see here, I have it here. It's they've got rat, ox, tiger, rabbit. 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:35.920 Let's see what else? 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:42.520 A dragon that would have been a good one dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey. 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:45.200 Rooster, dog, and pig. 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:48.040 That's my dad. 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:53.640 Yeah, so twelve they rotate twelve. They go year by 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:59.280 year and whatnot. So I'm the rabbit and it goes 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:03.800 on a twelve year rotation. So every twelve years you 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:08.880 go back around one more time. So the dragon would 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:13.080 be cool, or the snake. I missed the dragon by 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.160 one year. If I'd only been born a year later, 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:16.840 I would have been the dragon. Two years later I 0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:20.480 would have been the snake, the goat. You could have 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:24.480 fun with the goat some of these other ones, saying, eh, 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:28.280 I guess, I guess rabbit's better than rat. You don't 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:30.160 want to be a rat that would be very good 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:34.240 or a pig, a pig. That's kind of lame, but 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:39.879 thank you, Mike. Appreciate that. Alf the quality control apartment 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:42.920 checking in our friend, Alf, He says, will you be 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:46.160 gathering your alumni team of former board ops to help 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:49.520 you get your new boardop up to speed on operations 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:52.640 and familiar with all of our favorite drops.

We're one happy 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:04.400 family here. 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:04.760 My man. 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:07.680 If everybody went above and beyond like you, my man. 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:13.359 Yeah, it is a concerned People have been been kind 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:16.240 of upset by that because every time we change board ops. 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:19.640 Which is oh no, she's an eager beaver, all right, 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:22.680 and she wants to play the right drops. So we're 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:26.400 dealing with somebody that actually wants to listen and learn. 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:29.040 So yeah, that's half about it. You just want to 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:30.320 be good. You just want to be good. 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:32.200 That's all your Yeah, because let's be honest, most of 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:36.080 the board operators are a bunch of well. 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:39.560 Yeah, it easily distracted is the way I would describe it. 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:43.359 Alf also says food eat not so fun. He says, 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:47.120 I tried going for supper to raising canes after work, 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:50.680 and I went to the next day to Novelle, I 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:52.920 was not going to wait in that line. He sent 0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:56.320 a photo here of the line. They opened a raising 0:19:56.480 --> 0:20:01.040 canes right near ALF there in Springfield, mass and two 0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:04.880 car wide lane wrapped around the building at three point 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:07.960 thirty in the afternoon for raising canes. And I don't 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:12.800 blame you, alf. I love raising canes and I would 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:14.320 not wait online for that. 0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:15.800 I remember during. 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:18.960 COVID when every restaurant was shut down, but the drive 0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:24.719 throughs were open, and the line for canes was insane, 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:28.639 and I tried to wait. I waited for a little bit, 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:31.720 but then I gave up after about half an hour. 0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:34.440 I just can't wait online like that. I can't. 0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:38.200 And it's cool though that raising canes is getting a 0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:40.480 little bit of that in and out burger vibe where 0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:43.560 people are lined up to eat it. But I'm not 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:46.920 a line waiter. I don't like waiting online. I don't 0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:50.320 like it at all. Erin in Kansas City rights in 0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:53.720 to the Fifth Hour podcast. Here he says, guys, when 0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:57.280 you guys go out to eat, booth or table with 0:20:57.520 --> 0:21:02.040 your table. So I'll go first on this now. Originally, 0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:05.560 when I was big fat guy, I always did the 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:08.000 table because I didn't fit in the booth. But now 0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:10.120 that I've lost some weight and I fit in the booth, 0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:16.879 I prefer the booth. So I'm team booth, not team table. Yeah, Danny, 0:21:17.000 --> 0:21:18.560 what's your take? This is a very important question. 0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:21.200 Yeah, we'll got to be team table now because we 0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:24.240 have a stroller. It was a six month old in there, 0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:28.320 and he's not exactly big enough to sit in a 0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:31.520 high chair. I'm probably coming another month or so, so 0:21:32.280 --> 0:21:35.920 the room that we're in has to have some you 0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:39.160 know space next to a table where we could wheel 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:41.600 that thing in and not you know, make anybody trip 0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:42.920 and fall into the restaurant. 0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:46.760
