I didn't even know 0:00:58.040 --> 0:00:59.600 that was a thing until a couple of years ago 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:02.720 when one of the fast food chains Danny started marketing 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:06.640 Detroit Style pizza. I knew about Chicago style, I knew 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:09.319 about New York style. I'd never heard about Detroit Style. 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:12.080 Probably within the last ten years. I was a grown 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:14.960 ass man before I heard about Detroit Style Pizza. Didn't 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:19.400 didn't know anything about it. It's also National Typewriter Day, today, 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.000 So congratulations to those that own a typewriter. 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:25.520 Did you see your parents use a typewriter back in 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:25.880 the day. 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.080 I did. My parents loved typewriters. I had to take 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:32.760 I'm so old, you'reund my age, but we had typewriting class. 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:36.440 We learned how to type, and we used typewriters in 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:42.040 high school. They had a class that you had to take, and. 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:44.080 Well they were digital I remember though at that time, 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:46.000 like they switched them out to keyboards. 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:50.120 Well, we still had They had purchased a bunch of typewriters, 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:53.240 so they had a room filled with with typewriters. I 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:56.000 saw Docum Goal was trying to save money. I saw 0:01:56.040 --> 0:02:01.160 a typewriter. Well, yeah, I saw a type documentary a 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.120 couple of years ago, and it's like, it's kind of 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.120 like station wagons. You know, there's a cult to people 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:09.000 that own station wagons. There's a cult to people that 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:13.359 are typewriter people, and they love the typewriter. And there 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.160 are some very famous people that's still to this day, 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:20.120 even in modern times, like Quentin Tarantino, I know he's old. 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.120 Some of the other Hollywood types and creative people will 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:26.119 use the typewriter. 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:29.639 Yeah, it's almost like a real DJ busting out old 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:31.840 school turntables for show. 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:35.359 Yeah. Yeah, so it's National Typewriter Day. And the other 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:40.040 fact that I believe to be true the keyboard on 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:44.160 the typewriter. The reason the letters are the way they are, 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:46.560 how messed up they are, they're not they don't make 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:50.240 any sense right because you've got on your keyboard on 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.520 the top row of keys you have the QWE R, 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:56.640 et cetera, et cetera, and then online too you have 0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:00.600 the as D F G H j K L, then 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:02.960 online three f z X. You know, I go on. 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.120 But we talked about in the past. I don't know 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:07.919 if you were with me or gag On who retired 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:11.160 to Florida was with me. But the theory is the 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:14.760 reason the keyboard is designed the way it is is 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:19.200 because the typewriter door to door salesman, in order to 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.320 impress people and sell typewriters, they made sure to put 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:27.000 all the letters to spell typewriter on the top row 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.639 of keys. So if you look at the keyboard, whether 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.280 it's on any keyboard on your phone or keyboard on 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:35.960 your laptop, whatever, on the top row, it has all 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:38.880 the letters necessary to type the word typewriter and then 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.640 they added they added Q in there. But the theory 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:45.200 is when they designed the keyboard, it was a way 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:48.760 to dazzle people when they were trying to sell the typewriter. 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:53.120 It was a marketing move so they could sell more typewriters. 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:54.760 I never wore story. 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:58.280 The more you know, Danny, the more you know. But say, 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:00.000 if you look at the I'm not making that up. 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:01.440 People might think I'm making that up. If you look 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:05.119 at your device, all the keys to spell the word 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:08.440 typewriter are right there on the top row. And that was, 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:13.160 as the legend goes, by design because they wanted one 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:14.480 of the press. And think think if you were going 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:16.520 to door to or and you were trying to sell 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:18.719 typewriters and they're heavy and they're big, and you open 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:20.559 them up and say, let me show you how easy 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.080 it is, and I'll just I'll just as example, all right, 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.640 typewriter and then they would do it. And yeah, that's 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:28.800 my my fun factor. A lot of fun facts, a 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:30.400 lot of fun facts on this podcast. 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:32.240 Alph is very excited right now. 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:39.080 Yeah, But the reason the keys are not in alphabetical order, now, 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.159 there's another theory that that was just so they could 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.720 prevent you know, jamming of the keys and all that. 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:48.960 But originally they were going to have them in alphabetical order. 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:53.000 But the typewriter's salesman theory, which I got actually from 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:56.080 that that documentary I watched a few years ago, was 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:59.000 pretty pretty good. I mentioned we're gonna get to the 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.039 mail bag, but I mentioned the spinning of wheels. We 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.679 did have a major update this past week the Malamobile. 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.120 After a couple of weeks in the shop, I got 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:10.120 the phone call that the car was ready to be 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:14.480 driven back home, and I happily handed over the keys 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:20.080 of the rental car with South Dakota plates. The entire 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:24.920 back bumper had been replaced on the My car got 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:29.400 rear ended driving back from a funeral of all places, 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.479 a couple of weeks back. But this was actually an upgrade. 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.640 The car looks better now than it did before the accident. 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:38.960 The bumper. You know, the car that I drive a 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.880 lot is a little older. It's get some wear and 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:46.360 tear on it, and it had a few minor scrapes, 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:48.760 and the paint was chipped a little bit and dense. 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:52.000 But it's brand new and it's all painted and it 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:57.159 looks amazing and it was great, and I wasn't at faults, 0:05:57.200 --> 0:06:01.080 so they had to pay might deductible and so they 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:04.240 paid my deductible and we're good on that. And I 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:06.320 did have to pay a little extra out of pocket 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:09.360 to the rental car people because my great insurance did 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.760 not cover the full cost of the rental car. But 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:17.560 I'm I'm happy to have the original Malormobile back. And 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:21.240 let's get to the mail bag. And that means, ohio aal, 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:38.280 it's bag all right, thank you, OHI al. First one 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:43.479 on the mail bag comes from Gary. Gary is in Pittsburgh, 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:47.400 Bent Sylva. He says, Hey, Ben, I just finished listening 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.919 to the third hour of the Tuesday Slash Wednesday pod 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:55.800 and I heard something that I couldn't believe got swept 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.520 under the rug. Now the headline of this email indicates 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:02.240 that I might be losing it. So Gary tells me 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:04.560 that he went back to listen to the podcast again 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.120 to make sure he was not losing his mind he 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:09.440 going crazy. He then wrote down the time. He says, 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:13.760 at the twenty five thirty five mark, he heard Lorraine 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:18.760 Ah in her high pitched feminine voice, state I love 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:22.440 the sausage. There's a lot of meat. That is a 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:28.200 lot of meat. And to my surprise, he says Gary, 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:34.200 And to the surprise of no one, especially you, Ben yelled, 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:37.800 that's a drop. Yeah, he said, nobody yelled that's a drop. 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:41.840 Did you let it slide so it doesn't turn into 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:48.640 a a necro situation from a Wokester or worse, an 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.720 HR situation. I hope that's the case, and you are 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.000 not getting soft. That's from Gary and Pittsburgh. 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:57.119 Do I have your permission to insert the NCRO drop 0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:57.600 right here? 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.840 Well? That's is this far enough into the podcast world? Okay, 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:02.840 I don't know about that. 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:06.360 I'll do it towards the end of the podcast. Yeah, 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:06.920 if you're. 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:10.000 New to the show, there are a couple of pitchers 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:14.600 back in the day, Joe Nicro and Phil Nicro, and 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:18.200 they were knuckleball pitchers and I made a joke about 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:22.240 them on the air and maybe Danny g maybe not 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.280 made that into a drop, And every time it played 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:29.920 I had some Wokester email me. I used to like 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:33.800 your show. I can't believe you would be that racist. 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.640 Let's just say that some people who have wax in 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:41.440 their ears think that Ben was talking about the Negro leagues. 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:45.360 Yes, they thought I would just boldly pump my chest 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:49.640 out and say things that would be very offensive. 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:53.280 To some, and we would never do that. Fox loves 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:58.520 the negro leagues. They just had Birmingham. Yeah, yeah, deal 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:01.800 with the MLB where Fox covered that game. That was 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:05.520 an amazing thing they did to honor the negro leagues. 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:07.320 I loved watching that game last week. 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:12.320 Yeah, Cardinals and Giants played there. But to answer your question, 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:15.000 the main reason I didn't yell that's a drop is 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:18.200 because Lorena, for whatever reason, doesn't believe in drops, and 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:21.640 so I don't know what it's going to take to 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:23.719 get her on board, but she I just kind of 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.160 let that go. I would love for her to play 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:28.400 more drops. I would really like that. I think it 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:33.600 would be great. There is a balance, like I love 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:35.720 Roberto too. I think Roberto played a little too many 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.520 drops for a while there, and so that was a problem. 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:42.600 But now we've gone from driving on the Autobahn to 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:47.760 parking the car. We've done the complete, the complete one 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:50.800 eighty and uh yeah, there's a lot of stuff now. 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:55.120 I will also tell you Gary in Pittsburgh that it 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:59.199 is empowering that I can say whatever I want now 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.560 in any dumb thing will not be used against me 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:05.280 because Coop doesn't put anything in the system. He's watching 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.640 videos on his phone during the show, barely paying attention. 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.920 And Lorena, you know, she doesn't play the drops, and 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:14.599 so there's really no one there to bother putting the 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:15.199 drops in. 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:19.079 So but you know what, I gave Lorena a homework assignment. 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:23.120 She is listening to this fifth hour podcast every weekend 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:25.960 to see where the drops go and what kind of 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:27.080 drop should be played. 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:30.040 I was impressed by the size. I'm not gonna lie, Danny, 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:35.600 that was a big cock. Yeah. No, Loraina is wonderful, 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.360 but when it comes to drops, that's just not her. 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:41.040 Jam No, don't try to backpedal and call her wonderful now, 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:42.199 because you know she's listening. 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:46.520 Well, I said, but when you say, but everything before 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.880 the butt's a lie. True, So everything I just said 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.560 was a lie before the word butt. Thank you, Gary, though, 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:54.240 I'm glad you pay that close attention to the podcast. 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:59.040 Alf from the app store says, hey, Ben, where will 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:04.880 you and Danny or Daddy g Daddy get your Arby's fixed? 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:08.280 Now that that iconic Arby's Hollywood location has been shut down. 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:11.400 It says Mark, the full name guy does not approve 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:15.880 this message. Yeah, we talked about that on the Friday 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:19.320 pod alf. We talked about that Arby's location. I spent 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:24.200 many a night online. That was a very poorly designed Arby's. 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:28.080 There a small drive through, but I spent a lot 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:29.440 of nights that's so. I used to get the big 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:33.840 Montana that was like a pound of their fake Is 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:34.880 that real with fake. 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:37.400 Meat in your hand? Back there? It was a mini Montana. 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:43.040 Yeah, the curly fries, I got those. They had used 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.520 to et at Arby's semi regularly, and that was the location. Now, 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.840 there wasn't Arby's when I grew up that I ate at, 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:52.480 But as an adult I moved the Hollywood area. I 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:57.080 lived there for about twelve years or something like that. 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:58.600 I was in that area, So that was a long 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:02.000 time of my life in my twenties and thirties, early 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:03.920 thirties when I lived there, So I spent a lot 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:06.400 of time, and I knew where all the fast food 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:11.199 spots were, and that sign, that iconic sign, and right 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.560 down the Pig and Whistles not far from there. It's 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:15.520 a little bit down Hollywood Boulevard, but the pig and 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.800 whistles not that far from there, so not bad. Alf 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.319 also says, I forgot to send this to you last week, 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:24.000 as it would have tied into your foody fund segment. 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:27.480 I performed a surgical strike on my way home from 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.840 work one day recently. Alf says, the key is that 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:35.160 you need to use the app. You're talking about Arby's here. 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.079 Use the app place an online order as well. I 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:41.360 sent me some photos of receipts here. Get the deal. 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:46.480 Because the app won't allow more than one offer per order. 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.280 It says you need to be willing to forgo appetizers 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:54.360 and order only sandwiches. But Alf did that and for 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:58.760 five regular roast beef and two chicken sandwiches, it cost 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:02.599 him less than twelve dollars. Less than twelve dollars with 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:06.600 that little hack. But that's in Springfield, mass I'm guessing 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:11.160 it'll be more in California. Ohough, Massachusetts is expensive, not 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:14.079 at Springfield's not as expensive as Boston, though. 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:15.840 It's also Arbi's food that you have to eat. 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:22.880 Spairpoint. Spairpoint, a wild man of Morgantown, West Virginia writes, 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.920 and he says, hey, Ben and Danny g Other than 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.320 listening to your podcast, I also liked listening to some 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:32.120 of my favorite old school stand up comedians. Some of 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:35.920 my favorite Rodney Dangerfield, Sam Kinnison, and George Carlin. I 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:39.520 know you mentioned some of them before even calling your show. 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:42.440 Who is your favorite? Who makes you laugh every time? 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.360 I was a huge Carlin fan I saw Carlin performed. 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.800 He's the guy that used to call in. George Carlin 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:52.920 would call in to sports radio as George from Venice 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:57.480 and very random, but he loved local. He was a 0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:59.559 radio guy. Carlin was a radio guy before he was 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:01.240 in the middle. But he was a radio guy before 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:05.240 he became a comedian and actually left radio to go 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:09.120 into comedy. Uh and he up until his you know, 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:14.360 till his death. My friend Lee became friends with Carlin 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:18.480 because Carlin was a fan of his show. So so 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:20.840 there's that and then cool. Yeah. I was in a 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:25.520 elevator with Rodney Dangerfield in Burbank, right across from Warner Brothers. 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:27.680 I didn't say anything to him. I just stared at 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.320 his face because I had seen it. He was he 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:31.120 had made a comeback. 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:31.440 I was. 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.040 I was a kid, I was actually before I was alive. 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:36.480 Dangerfield was a big star, but as a kid. Remember 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:39.040 he did that back to College movie or something like that, 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:42.000 Danny of course, Yeah, yeah, and that that was like 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:46.160 a rebirth. Yeah, that was like a rebirth of Dangerfield. 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.120 At the radio station we worked at in Burbank, thirty 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:52.080 four hundred Riverside Drive. I remember the address, right across 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:55.640 the street from Dults. Uh they. I was in an 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:59.400 elevator and freaking Rodney Dangerfield was in the elevator with me, 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.640 and I stared at But I'm just saying it was 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:03.400 very awkward. He must have thought, what a loser this 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:05.520 guy is, you know, I mean, I get no respect. 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:07.280 Oh that's a story on my line. 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:08.920 No respect. 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:11.680 This guy. I won't even say my name. You want 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:12.160 to talk to me? 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:14.640 Yeah, you're talking about the classic back to School by 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:15.120 the way. 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.920 There you go, Yeah, back to school. And I never 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:23.240 ran in to Sam Kinnison, although I was told at 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.800 the braa improv not far away from alf the Alien 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:32.360 or not alf Our friend from Fullerton who annoys us 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:37.600 as well with all these emails Mike from Fullerton, friend 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:41.560 of Ferdog, that the last place Sam Kinnison performed before 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:44.640 he met his demise on his way to Vegas was 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.800 the Bray improv that he did as stand up set 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:49.640 at the Bray inprov, got on the car to drive 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:51.400 to Vegas and died on the way to Vegas. 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.640 You know, Kennison was a big radio fan as well. 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:58.240 He was a regular on a lot of FM music 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.560 shows like afternoon Drive. DJs would have him in the 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:04.960 studio and he'd do like funny drops for them. Rick Chase, 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:09.080 that famous Afternoon Drive DJ in San Francisco, was buddies 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:11.640 with him and Kennison was in his studio all the time. 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.840 So as a little kid, it was awesome hearing Kennison 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:15.440 on the radio. 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:19.640 Remember hearing Kennison on with Howard Stern back in the 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:21.280 back in the He'd pop up there every once in 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:21.880 a while as well. 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:25.520 So do you remember when comedians had vinyl records that 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:28.560 our parents or grandparents would put on the record player. Yes, 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:32.840 my stepdad had a Bill Cosby record that he played 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:37.280 a lot, and Richard Pryor, he had Richard Pryor vinyl 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.160 that played a lot in my house. 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:42.160 A lot of people here might be offendive, so you 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:42.920 should leave now go. 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:44.640 I'm say fuck and suck. 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:47.960 And shit and do do. 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:55.120 That's pretty cool. There's a guy that he killed himself, 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:59.480 but he was pretty funny before that. Uh, what was 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:00.920 this guy's I'm trying to think of it. He was 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:06.399 around the time Chris Rock was coming up? Is it 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:08.360 Richard Jenny? Does that name? Ring a bell? 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:08.959 Does that? 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:09.120 Does? 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:10.119 Ring a Bell? Yeah? 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:12.960 Yeah, I liked his stuff a lot, but he he 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:15.520 never really his career never took off for whatever reason. 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:17.680 I don't know why, but I thought he was pretty 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.560 funny back in there. But those are all time greats. 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:21.080 Wild man. 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:27.600 You got Carlin Kinnison and Rodney Dangerfield. That's just wonderful. Yeah. 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:29.879 Jenny died back in two thousand and seven. 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:32.359 Yeah, so he's been dead for a while, but he 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:35.080 was a very funny man. I'm sure there's still some 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:38.359 stuff on YouTube of his from back in the day. 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:43.639 Next up is the aforementioned Mike from the academic mecca 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:48.119 of Fullerton. Mike says, hey, Ben and Danny g I 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:50.560 have a question about the Mallard meet and greet coming 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:52.280 up in Vase. Yeah, we're doing a Mallor meet and greet. 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:55.320 Danny August third in Lost Wages. 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:58.560 Yeah, I saw this on your social media you're invited if. 0:17:58.520 --> 0:17:59.920 You want to come. I don't know if you want 0:17:59.920 --> 0:18:02.200 to make your way to Vegas. But Malard me ingreet 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:06.800 in Vegas August third, and Mike says slug claimed the 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:10.760 place that you're going at serves Mallard chicken fingers with 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:14.040 honey mustard sauce. Do you know if they allow you 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:18.359 to substitute the honey mustard for ranch dressing, that that 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:20.800 could be a deal breaker for many of the people 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:23.120 thinking about going. Yeah, we'll make sure they don't serve 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:25.800 ranch stressing. I'll talk to the people when I get 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:28.400 to the venue and I'll be like, hey, listen, it's 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:32.840 a Mallard event. We cannot have the ranch dressing. We 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:38.399 cannot have that. He also says, after hearing you bemoan 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:42.000 all the Ivy League nerds and the Dodger Analytical Department, 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:45.440 let me ask you this, would you rather have them 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:51.160 or the DeVry and Itt tech nerds working for the Angels. 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:54.040 I wouldn't bore you with all the numbers and all 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:57.240 the things that they talked about about the OBP and 0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:00.560 the SLG and the ISO and name it. 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:09.560 Yeah, I think the Angels hired people from America Online 0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:12.520 and Netscape Navigator. That's what the Angels have in their 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:16.919 analytics department. Yeah. Now I was complaining, Danny, because the 0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:20.879 LA Dodgers, the team that we both love, have nine 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:25.080 pitchers currently that are hurt with major, some major, most major. 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:31.440 Yamamoto's out, but you have Walker Buehler just got hurt again, 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:34.439 although we think that's something else he'said. Tommy John surgery, Trice, 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:40.080 Tony Gonsolin, Tommy John surgery, carrot top, He's Dustin may 0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:44.600 have major surgery. And so the thing that I brought 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:48.520 up in my whole point, my hypothesis after a minutes 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:53.080 long investigation, was how is it possible for the last 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:57.640 ten plus years, the Dodgers have been coddling their pitchers. 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:01.359 They've been limiting the number of pitches they throw, they've 0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:04.359 been limiting the number of innings they pitch. They've done 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:08.920 everything you're in air quotes supposed to do to protect pictures, 0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:13.520 and it doesn't keep them from getting hurt. And I 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:16.720 flashed back to something that Tommy John, the actual Tommy 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:20.199 John who was on this podcast with me said, and 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:23.480 other old time ballplayers that I've talked to who were pitchers, 0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:27.840 and they universally said, you've got to throw more, not less. 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:31.040 You can't take as many days off. You don't have 0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:33.720 to worry the pitch count thing. You don't need to 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:37.000 worry about it. Well, you're just a boomer. You don't 0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:42.440 know what you're talking about. Okay, Well, the smart people, allegedly, 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:47.119 the wise people, the nuanced, knowledgeable people, have been running 0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:50.440 the Dodgers and handling the pitchers. How's that working out? 0:20:51.240 --> 0:20:54.399 How's it working out? Daddy? Answer the question? How do 0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:57.160 you like them? Apples? Uh? Oh boy? 0:20:57.359 --> 0:20:57.760 Anyway? 0:20:58.400 --> 0:20:59.360 Yeah, carried away there. 0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:02.320 At least bets, so Tani and Freeman. Oh wait, we 0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:03.560 don't have bets. 0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:06.919 Oh yeah, that's true. Yeah, I heard. The rumor is 0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:08.600 they're not going to even put him back at shortstop. 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:11.920 They're going to use this as an out and they're 0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:13.720 going to move him back to the outfield and they're 0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:15.960 going to trade for a shortstop at the deadline and 0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:17.600 bring somebody else into play shortstop. 0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:20.600 Sounds about right now, and they'll. 0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:22.359 Say, well, we don't want to get hurt and all that. 0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:24.040 But he didn't get hurt playing shortstop. 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:24.199 Dan. 0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:26.439 He got hit by a pitch. It's not like he 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:28.760 got hit by a line drive at shortstop. He got 0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:30.520 hit by a pitch that would have happened if he 0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:34.440 was in the outfield. A little rough, all right. Next 0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:38.200 one from Kwang in Vietnam. He says, big man and 0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:43.160 Danny g does a club sandwich stand for chicken lettuce 0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:48.600 under bacon? What say you? Well, this is random? 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:51.800 Never heard of that in my life. Yeah. 0:21:51.960 --> 0:21:55.120 Well, this is the history of the club sandwich. According 0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:59.399 to Kwang, he says today a myth exists about the 0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:02.960 club sam much that it's spelling stands for chicken and 0:22:03.080 --> 0:22:07.480 lettuce under bacon. The origins of the acronym go back 0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:11.360 to the nineteenth century clubhouse in New York. The Saratoga 0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:17.119
