As a kid, 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:04.840 I liked when I remember going to Disneyland, and I 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:07.160 liked the blue shirt that Donald wore in the blue hat. 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:09.640 I think that's why I like Donald. Yeah. 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:12.959 Also, do you remember going to Disneyland as a little kid, 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:15.679 and they had that big room with all the different telephones, 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:20.040 and each telephone was a different Disney character. I wasn't 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.399 even in kindergarten yet. But I remember being on the 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:24.679 Donald Duck phone and Donald Duck was on the other 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:25.440 end of the line. 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.319 Were you devastated when you found out that he wasn't 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:29.840 actually on the other part of the line, where you're like, 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:32.480 oh my god, this is it. I just found that 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:36.560 out right now, devastating. Dare you wait till you find 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.200 out about Santa Claus. You'll really be devastated. Oh man, 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.640 that'll blow you away. Mail alive. It is the mailbag, 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:44.399 but I wanted to get before you kill the mailback. 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:45.720 Let's do a little pop goes to the culture. You want 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:47.400 to do a little pop goes the culture? Yes you do, Danny, 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:49.520 you're shaking your head, Yes, you want to do a 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:50.720 little pop goes to culture. 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:57.160 I love when you speak for me, jun. 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:09.919 John. Thank you very much, Ohio, I'll appreciate that. Very 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.360 kind of you to send this in now. I'm not 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.320 sure if this is a pop culture story or not, 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:17.200 but I think it's appropriate. On this podcast, we have 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:21.280 been following the inconvenience that Danny g has had involving 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:27.440 a wildlife crossing that has interrupted the commutes from time 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:31.320 to time. It's wow. They built an overpass just for animals. 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.800 Yeah, two have been saved so far. 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:40.600 At some point this overpass will become a homeless camp, right, 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:43.120 it'll be an encampment for homeless people, But for now 0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:45.359 it's for animals and two animals of cross. 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:49.520 There's an invisible wall in Woodland Hills, California. That's where 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:50.880 the homelessness stops. 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:55.400 Ah. Yeah, okay, the devil you're talking about. So they 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.680 have these wildlife crossings and we understand that that is 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.520 such a big hit, Danny, the one near you that 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:05.239 now they are going to have more in southern Califoria. 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:06.600 I knew you would love this story. 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:11.239 Yeah, so they're planning on building two other wildlife crossings 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:15.839 that have been proposed for I fifteen north of San 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:23.640 Diego County. Two more of these things, Danny two. Ben, congratulations, 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.080 My god, we're gonna end up having more overpasses for 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:30.880 animals than human beings. You know, Oh that's not true. 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:34.080 You just hate animals. But no, I don't hate animals. Okay, 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:36.360 I just think this is a little much. I think 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.880 animals have been Okay, they can they can figure out 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:39.160 a way. 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:43.200 Ben save a Bobcat ride at Coyote. 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:47.920 Oh my god, it's so for Gayzy. It's so Forgayzy. 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:52.240 But it is continuing. You don't hear these type of 0:03:52.280 --> 0:04:01.240 stories very often in Alabama, South Carolina, Virginia. Am I wrong? 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:02.840 Maybe you do? Maybe I just don't know. 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:04.680 Why is Alabama on your mind? 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:06.440 Did you see that? 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:07.360 Man? 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:11.240 Wow? We very well will have to replace Lizzo on 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:17.360 lame jokes of the week with the new Miss Alabama. Wowsers. Now, Danny, 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:22.960 I like a woman that's got a little curvation to 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:29.159 her appearance. Of course thickness, but yes, more cushion for 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:35.560 the pushing. But I even I have limits, Danny, My god, 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:42.719 what happened there in Alabama? Miss Alabama. She's a big star, Danny. 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:44.360 Miss Alabama she is. 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:45.880 She's huge in that state. 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:49.920 Yes, she is a very very popular figure there, and 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.240 she walks like a boss and you don't want to 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:56.599 get in her way. Is she that photo? There's one 0:04:56.640 --> 0:05:01.679 photo from this that is next level. She's standing behind 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:03.880 you know, she's standing next to the other women that 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:04.840 did not beat her. 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.400 Yeah, And the headline says, if you don't think Miss 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:11.000 Alabama won this fair and square, you're a far right extremist. 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.240 That's about that's about right. You're quite of course, that's 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:16.880 how anything goes. You questioned anything, Well, you're just you're 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.719 so you're so far out there you're a conspiracy theorist 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:21.680 or something like that. Oh my, you should tweet this 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:23.440 out and then tag Clay Travis. 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:24.120 Oh. 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:27.360 I'm sure Clay's probably written seven stories on OutKick about 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.840 this already. Right now as we speak talk his eyeballs 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:34.480 are popping out of his head. By now. Yeah, that 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.440 was that was quite the story. See that's changed. That's 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.000 another thing, Danny, that's changed in my lifetime because when 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:44.240 I was a kid, as a child, and I know 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:49.480 at the playground you would have girls that were were 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.599 large who would get picked on. They would not be 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:55.120 handed bouquets of flowers and win beauty contest. So that's 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:56.599 changed in my lifetime, Danny. 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:57.800 It is empowering. 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:02.760 I can't wait till we see a six hundred pound 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.240 guy winning the Bachelor. You know, Bachelor. Is it the 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:07.000 Bachelor or the Bachelorette? Which one is it? The one 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.760 with the dudes? I don't know, the Bachelor, Bachelor, yeah, Bachelor, yeah, 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:10.040 get it. 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:10.720 And by the way, I. 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:12.480 Can't sit here and talk shit as I'm holding a 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.279 diet coke because, as you alluded to the other day 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.960 on the podcast, fat people drink type coke meds. 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:22.480 As a proud fat man, even though I've lost a 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:24.479 lot of weight, I'm still large and in charge, and 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:28.440 I still support the fat the fat community. But me 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.480 as a fat man, even I know fat people should 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.240 not be winning beauty contest. I know that. I realize 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:37.679 that I'm aware of that. Yeah, you got a mental problems, man, 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:42.320 man alive? What else do we have on pop goes 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:45.960 the culture? How about this one out of China. A 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:53.080 hiker in China was hiking near the tallest waterfall in China. 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.400 So how is that a pop goes the culture story? 0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:00.920 Let me explain. So this guy's wan uering around there 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:05.280 and he comes across something that blew his mind away. 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:11.480 It turns out that the largest waterfall that has this 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:18.000 beautiful water cascading down in China. Well, the hiker posted 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.920 a video online it's probably been killed by now that 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:25.120 showed the flow of water was coming from a pipe 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:29.400 that they had put a pipe in to feed It's 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:36.320 a fake waterfall? 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:38.640 Is the urinal at Madonna in. 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.760 Oh? Yeah, that's right. The operators of this say the 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:50.040 tourism portion of this part of China say that they 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:54.600 made the quote small enhancement during the dry season so 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:59.360 visitors would feel that their trip had been worthwhile, is 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:07.480 what they're saying. Wow, nothing is as it appears, Danny, 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:12.000 nothing is as it appears. So wonder what did happen 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:15.920 to that person that exposed the fraud? How dare you? 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:19.160 How dare you? Well? This is exciting, Dandy technology. Big 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:24.200 tech continues to influence our lives. The CEO of Zoom 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:29.600 Zoom Zoom Zoom. They claim that in the future, and 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:34.640 not that far into the future, you will have AI 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.600 deep fakes who will attend meetings in your place, so 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:42.080 you won't even have to attend a Zoom meeting. You 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:46.360 can just turn on AI and you're good. Just turn 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:50.920 on the AI. You're good to go. Yes, perfect, And 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:54.720 eventually our radio shows will be done by AI and 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:57.040 I will I will be dead and for two hundred 0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:58.679 years my radio show will be on. There'll be an 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:01.280 AI voice that will just keepdcasting. 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:03.439 Danny, I've done this in my career already. Speaking of 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.760 Clay Travis back in the day, for you know, travel 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:09.199 reasons he'd have to pre record some of his segments 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.240 and to react to some breaking news. I would piece 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:15.680 his voice together from old shows. I'm sure that'll solve it. 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:21.120 Whatever, whatever it takes, whatever it takes, that's the yah. Fine. 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:25.040 I was the first AI creator in broadcasting history. You 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.840 were ahead of your time. Virtual Clay, who's there. I 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:31.240 did love Clay's take. I gave him a tip of 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:34.520 the headphones this week when he talked about his take 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:35.640 on Caitlin Clark. 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:40.200 Yeah, oh man, that boy, he got it. Boy, he 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:41.520 got a lot of shit over there. 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:44.800 The reason Caitlin Clark is getting attacked is because of sexuality. 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:49.760 Because the WNBA is seventy percent lesbian. It's just it's 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:50.320 just a while. 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.360 Did you read the comments holy shit style. 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:54.520 Yeah that's what. 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:55.440 Yeah, that's for. 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.839 But I said Clay actually was being conservative. It's actually 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:00.839 a big seventy five percent, So I think he went 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:03.240 low on that, but it was just funny. 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:05.640 I would say some of that is changing a little 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:09.439 bit because like that Cameron Brink girl, who we've talked about, 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:13.960 some of the girls now are more like ig models. 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:17.360 You know, they're posing for pictures. They have cake face, 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:21.080 and they seem like they're attracting men. That's different than 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:22.599 it used to be for the WNBA. 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:24.480 It is odd, though, that it took the people that 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:28.520 run the WNBA thirty years to figure out what sells 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:32.000 the number one product that people love to look at 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:36.559 and to spend money on. They just figured that out, Danny, Yeah, 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:40.160 attractive women. They just now figured that out. 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:45.440 Welcome to the year eighteen fifty one. 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:54.160 I have noticed that the WNBA is spending more resources 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:58.160 on feeding content to social media, which is not a 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:02.600 bad move. It's not a bad move. Little Birdie tells 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:07.960 me that they have a marketing strategy which includes really brilliantly. 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:09.480 I was talking to a radio friend of mine this 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.240 week about this. It's none of these idiots on radio 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:15.079 me included or talking about WNBA games, because who cares 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:18.760 about the games. It's the behind the scenes story, the drama, 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:21.960 O rama. That's the stuff that people are interested in. 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:23.880 It's not so much the outcome, because who the hell's 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:28.400 watching these games? Maybe Caplin Clark girl fights. It's catfights, 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:31.800 is what it is, and people love that they I 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:34.280 said this on my show the other day, and I 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:37.079 believe it because I was at the dispersal draft. When 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:40.040 they started the WNBA, I was, as I said, I 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.640 was not there by choice. I was assigned by the 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:45.120 mighty sixth ninety to be there the station I worked 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:46.640 for in San Diego. They said, we want you to 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.360 cover this. Get some audio. So it was at the 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:53.360 Forum in the place Jerry Buss used to bring his 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:58.920 girlfriends in the Forum club say what? And they had 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:02.400 a news conference and the person I forget who it 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:04.120 was when the sparks got up there and said, we 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.160 just want you to cover us like the men. Just 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:08.040 give us a chance, just cover us like you cover 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:10.400 the NBA, and we'll do the rest. And it took 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:12.400 thirty years and now they're getting covered like the men, 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.800 and they hate it. All their complaining it's not fair, 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:18.680 you know it. It's sexist, and you know ism this 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:20.920 and ism that, and it's just hilarious. 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:24.319 Well we need them to start objectifying men and taking cocaine. 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:29.960 Then, well, according to Clay, some of them do, but anyway, 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:31.600 or maybe not many of them, I guess. 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:34.880 Really quick, Can I tell you ninth grade, there was 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:38.079 a girl fight that was epic on our high school campus, 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:41.760 right by the lunch benches. Two girls holding each other's 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:46.040 hair lying on the concrete. One of them, she tore 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:49.080 her shirt a little bit and a breast this was 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:52.280 sticking out like a boob popped out clevenger. 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:53.160 Wow. 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:54.839 Yeah, it was one of the you know I had 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:56.800 at that time, ninth grade. I hadn't seen a lot 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:58.319 of breasts in my life yet, so. 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.000 This was a very memorable experience. 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.719 Oh not just for me. The school talked about this 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:05.000 for two three weeks. It was the best fight of 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:08.080 the year. This is exactly what people like about the 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.040 w NBA. More girl fights. 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:15.840 And the thing too about women fighting is they go 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:20.559 much harder, much faster than guys. Right, they'll go immediately 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:24.640 to hair pulling and biting, where guys. My experience with 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.600 guys is they want to keep them machismo. So it's 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.360 a lot of fists. It's not you don't want to bite, 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:32.520 that's below you, you know, and you don't want to. 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:34.720 Most guys don't have long enough hair to pull anyway. 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:36.680 We don't want to see any torn clothes on men. 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.200 But when the girls tear each other's clothes. 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:41.200 Yeah, you don't want to. You don't want to interfere, 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.360 you know, let the ladies be ladies and do what 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:49.120 they want to do. Let's get to the mail bag. 0:13:49.920 --> 0:14:07.320 It's all right, thank you very much, ohio al. These 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:09.800 are actual letters sent in by actual listeners.

Mike writes in in 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:23.520 Titan Nation, Fullerton. He says, Hi, Ben and Danny, g 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:28.640 I'm starting to get impatient with these fat cat NBC 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:32.480 executive I hope to hear they renewed Benny Versus the 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:37.280 Penny for another season at double the pay soon. Doesn't 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:39.440 it make sense for the show to keep going until 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.880 the Penny beats you and Danny? If they wanted you 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:46.280 for next season, not as Tom Looney's replacement, but as 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:49.280 the voice of the cartoon penny, would you sign up 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:53.400 for that? Sign Mike in Fullerton. 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.920 Does the Penny have a voice? Well? 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:57.720 We could add that. 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.960 Yeah, Well, because I've heard Looney say he's the voice 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:01.560 of the Penny. 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:03.520 So then he says a lot of things. 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:05.360 He says a lot, wears a lot of things too. 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:08.760 Does a lot of My favorite moment from the show, 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:11.040 I shouldn't say my favorite. One of my top five 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.360 moments was when we showed up to record the show 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:17.360 at Universal Studios and we go through, you know, get 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:19.480 the makeup on, which we had to do ourselves, get 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:22.560 the makeup on. We sit in the chair and I 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:25.840 look over to my left where Looney's sitting, and he's 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:29.360 wearing a green shirt. And if you don't know what 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:33.280 happens in television, you know this thing we. 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:34.320 Call it floating heads. 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:37.040 Yeah, we sit behind a green screen. They put graphics 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:41.600 behind us, and Looney decided to wear a shirt that 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:45.280 was mostly green for a TV show with a green screen. 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.600 The guys, our producer, Vinnie and Boston. The guys are like, 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.080 uh yeah, Tom, I don't know it's gonna work. I 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:52.840 don't think we can. 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:55.200 Dude, I would love to voice over the penny. I'd 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:59.560 be like, fuck you, Ben, you mf for you piece. 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:03.320 Let's turn the penny into the real star. 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:07.480 All right, No word yet. I have had some meetings 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:11.520 with the NBC people. I've had some conversations and things 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:16.280 are positive. But that was also prior to them spending 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:18.560 a couple billion on the NBA, so they might have 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:20.560 spent all their money on the NBA and have no 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.560 money left over for Benny versus the penny. Hopefully that 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:28.600 is not the case. Alf from Coop's Recycle Bin right 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:32.560 said from Coop's Recycle Bin, he says, are cupcakes just 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:38.280 glorified muffins? Were the better publicist? And are they donuts? 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.440 Says Alf the Alien Opiner. 0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:44.240 He's really on this donut thing lately now. 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:48.720 Like a cupcake is an appetizer of a cake, to 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:54.720 see how that works. Like the cinnamon roll is a cousin, 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:58.920 first cousin of the donut, but it's in the donut family. 0:16:58.880 --> 0:16:59.720 Still incest. 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.840 Well, you can call it what you want. It's delicious, 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:06.200 it's wonderful. And I was supposed to make cinnamon rolls 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:09.600 last weekend and I got lazy and I didn't do it. 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.480 I made I made some sugar cookies instead, but gonna 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:16.200 I was gonna make a nice set of cinnamon rolls, 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:19.639 and I just I didn't have time. And this weekend 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:21.439 I didn't do it either, because I'm a bad person 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:26.880 and all that. But cupcakes, big cupcake guy, the key 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:31.840 to the cupcake frosting, the key to a cupcake frosting. 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:35.320 That's really the only good part the top of the 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.040 cupcake and the frosting. 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:42.640 Yeah, what if we made cupcakes that were very small 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.560 but had a large top for the frosting. You know 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:50.960 what I mean, Like little mushroom cupcakes, like a Seinfeld episode. 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:58.199 My idea, You want a muffin or not? Peach, make 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:02.800 a fortune, make an app killing Right next up on 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:06.560 the mail bag, Scott writes in third Rail about my 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:09.600 third rail, All right now, he sent me this email 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:11.360 to the regular email address. I told him we would 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:14.760 address this on the podcast, and this goes to a 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:17.280 very deep dark place, Danny, But I want to address it. 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:18.520 I want to address it. We're not going to run 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:21.359 away from it, Scott writes, and he says, I have 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:24.760 been listening to your show since Danny g was still 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:27.919 part of the weeknight show. I know I'm not the 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:32.800 longest listener, but I was loyal, he says, was loyal Danny. 0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:37.080 Now I have seen the trend take hold of the 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:40.560 show as it is done throughout sports and the world. 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:46.520 Scott says. The show's producer is now a woman sexist 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:52.760 who knows absolutely nothing about sports. He says, refuses to 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:54.520 learn about the show or be a part of it. 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:56.600 Wait, there's a second, I'm out of here. 0:18:57.720 --> 0:19:00.960 He says. There's no more drops, no more malor music, 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:05.800 no keeping the memories alive. Scott says the callers are atrocious. Well, 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:09.199 they've actually always been atrocious and are given way too 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:11.359 much airtime. They've also always been given way too much. 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:13.000 Of Some of the callers were great when I was. 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:16.159 There, to the point of not doing the game shows. 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:19.760 He's upset by that. I don't know, but I'm guessing 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:24.360 people would rather hear Malard's Mountain of Money or Sports 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:30.000 Jeopardy over what Marcel had for dinner. Yes, after finding 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:34.040 a way through all that, you broke the camel's back 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:40.679 with a w NBA monologue. Scott says, wasn't bad enough that, Eddie, 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:44.320 And then he says, no, very little about hockey, was 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:51.200 giving WNBA scores over legit sporting events scores. But now 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:55.199 you have fallen into the wokness. Scott says, I know 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:59.160 my opinion matters little and this will be brushed aside, 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:02.160 but I I wanted to let you know that as 0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:05.280 a member not officially sworn in of the Malad Militia, 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:08.800 I am hurting and I'm guessing I'm not the only one. 0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:13.600 Please stop forcing the woke down our throat. Spend Thank 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:16.600 you for your time that has signed Scott. There's a 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:18.480 lot here. There's a lot to unpack on this one. 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:22.399 Danny first, he nailed it. Let's just say that you 0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:25.280 got the essence of the show. It is true. I 0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:27.879 love Lorena. She's a wonderful addition to the show. I 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:30.200 disagree with your points. She doesn't know anything about sports. 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:32.840 She's open about that, and I'm fine with that. Her 0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:35.119 job is not to know about sports. Her job is 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:37.480 to make sure we don't lose the license. Her job 0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:39.360 is to hit the buttons and all that. 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:39.920 Now. 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:42.720 She just started here, and I would like to think 0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:45.000 that she'll put the effort in. She doesn't really know 0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:47.720 the history of the show. She never listened to the show. 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:51.000 She's had no idea what we do here because she's 0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:53.520 not a sports fan or whatever, and so she's learning 0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:54.640 as she goes here. 0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:57.600 So do you listen to Fox Sports Radio? Nope, I've 0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:01.840 never heard it. You're hired on staff immediately. 0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:05.320 Yeah, listen. That's not my decision, but whatever. 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:08.040 And you know, I've been open and honest about her 0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:11.000 from the start. I told the mallor militia. She's open 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:14.520 to learn and that right there, Ben, that's priceless, right 0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:17.720 because most people come in here with their head filled 0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:20.080 with thoughts of that they're the shit and they don't 0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:20.919 need any training. 0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:26.280 Yeah. Yeah, Like there's this weird situation with their drops. 0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:30.879 I've had many engineers on the show and other places 0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:35.800 I've worked, and some have been great. Some have played 0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:39.040 way too many drops. Others have played not enough. Oh, 0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:41.240 if Roberto hit that ding one more time, I was 0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:42.400 going to ding him in the head. 0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:44.960 Yeah. 0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:49.119 I've had people email me that stopped listening because Roberto 0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:54.080 kept hitting the bell. They got upset about that. Now 0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:56.520 people are upset they don't hear the bell. You can't win, 0:21:56.760 --> 0:22:00.199 all right, you can't win more cow bell. Yeah. Like 0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:02.639 I would like to think that Lorena would kind of 0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:05.600 get that. We like certain drops that I love mixing 0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:08.560 in caller drops and making that a part of the show, 0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:11.920 and just little things, not too much, not too much, 0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:13.760 but you know, just show me you're paying attention. You know. 0:22:13.800 --> 0:22:15.480 I feel like sometimes if you don't do that, you're 0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:17.200 just watching TV in the other room, and you got 0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:19.280 me the sound down on me, and you've got the 0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:21.520 TV on and that's it, which has happened. By the way, 0:22:21.560 --> 0:22:26.080 I've had board ops that were running my board watching television, 0:22:26.440 --> 0:22:29.399 not paying attention to the show, and I know that. 0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:33.840 Oh yeah, to not here just just absolutely wonderful. 0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:34.360 Yeah. 0:22:34.400 --> 0:22:36.119
