So I've got the Burning Man, Serendipity, Coha's 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:25.240 Thunderdome backscratcher, the phrase of the week, which is not 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.440 to be confused with the idiom of the week or 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:29.480 the word of the week. The phrase of the week, 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:35.720 and also pop goes the culture. And we'll see how 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:37.360 much of this we actually get to. I think we'll 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.400 get to all of it. I'm confident, I'm Benny bright Side. 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.679 We're gonna get to all this, more like half of it, 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:44.880 how dare you? So we're going to start with it. 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.040 So I mentioned if you listen to the Friday Pod, 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:51.360 then you know the story that I told about last weekend. 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:56.160 My wife throughout a birthday party for one of the 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.800 people she works with, and we went to this Q 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:06.040 didn't speak easy cigar bar and high end dress code, 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:10.880 all that real ritzy. Now you know about that, But 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.640 I didn't tell all of the details because I have 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:18.320 the postgame show right now. For example, after we got 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:21.359 done at the club, we waited for the guy whose 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:23.480 birthday it was. He never showed up, And then after 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:27.359 that we took off and decided he you know, live 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:28.960 a little bit. You only live once. You might as 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.440 well enjoy life. So why don't we go out. I 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.280 have some late night munchies, So we Did we go 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:35.120 to Jack in the Box. 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:35.280 No? 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:37.320 Did we go to Carlos Junior, which is a good 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:41.240 chain out here. No in and out Burger. No, we 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:47.880 went big, went to Fat sALS sALS legendary spot in 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:52.000 LA and elsewhere. But went to Fat Soles sandwich shop, 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:53.840 the one on. 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.000 Three thousand calories per sandwich. 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.680 Yeah, even if you look at the menu, you it's 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.080 like eight hundred calories. Just looking at the menus, eight 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:08.200 hundred calories. So going there Fat Soles Highland in Hollywood 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:13.880 and hey, hey, hey, Megan a sandwich over here? Uh 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:18.240 and no gabba goool, No, goaba goool. Was consumed, but 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:22.320 had the Fat Texas Barbecue, which is my go to sandwich. 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:26.520 And then around around one in the morning we got done. 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:30.600 And of course this happens a lot these days. You 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:33.040 go to a place like that because it's people who 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:36.600 are you college age, we're like old people. We become 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.640 the old people, you know, going there, it's like, wow, 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:42.760 what happened? But anyway, we left there, headed to the 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:45.160 Malor Manches. So we're driving. If you're familiar with l A, 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:46.760 I know most people that listen to this podcast are 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:48.640 not in LA. So we're driving on the one on one, 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:52.760 the historic one on one freeway right right, wrapping around 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:58.440 downtown La. Coming from Fat Soles sandwich shop in Hollywood. 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:03.119 So what drives late night. I've had no sleep, I'm 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:06.560 heavily caffeinated, my belly is full. I just want to 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.800 go home and lay down. So we're driving and there's 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:13.200 no traffic or anything like that. There's nothing really going 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:16.040 on other than the highway work from time to time. 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:21.120 So off in the distance, my wife sees this massive fire, 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:27.080 just humongous fire, and it was an inferno that lit 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:31.000 up very dark sky. It's like almost one in the morning, 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.520 you know, it's dark and all that. And so since 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.479 she knows all these places to go to find out information, 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.679 she goes to this I think it's like a special 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.400 LA fire website. It's probably not even that special. So 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.080 she goes to the La Los Angeles Fire Department website 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:50.000 that she has access to. So she's looking trying to 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:54.359 figure out where the fire is, and so she finds 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:59.400 it because it's a massive fire, and then she starts 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:01.000 kind of freaking. I don't know, bit She's like, wait 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:08.120 a minute, so what was so crazy about that freak out? 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.480 Like why did she freak out? Well, this was a 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:17.520 we'll call it a burning man serendipity moment, because I'll 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:20.800 give you a humdinger of a plot twist. This massive 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:24.600 fire which became national news, the fire that we saw 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:27.719 in the middle of the concrete jung. He there's millions 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.800 of people in that. You're driving on the one to 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:35.240 one around La, downtown La. The skyscrapers, you've got big businesses, 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.080 you've got apartment buildings, you've got homes. It's like every 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:42.839 other big city. And there's this massive fire. And she 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:45.599 had looked where the fire was, and the fire is 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.880 on the same street her father's business is on. My 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:53.840 father in law, Oh, like, what are the odds? Right? 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:57.839 He runs like a food storage place in downtown LA. 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:01.800 It's right next to the ten Freeway, the busiest highway 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:05.440 that portion in the country, or it's either one or 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:10.680 in the top five. So she's like, this is I mean, 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.120 his place might might have burned down. I mean, I 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:17.160 don't know, it's the fire's massive. It's like, it's like ridiculous. 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:20.600 And so we changed the GPS. Now we didn't know 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:24.680 if his place had turned to ash. My father in law, 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.839 so we drove, of course, like idiots. We drove towards 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:31.400 the fire like a moth to a flame to try 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.400 to to see if we could get near his place 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.360 to see it make sure everything goes okay. So she's 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.080 while I'm driving, she's calling to try to, you know, 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:41.640 wake wake him up. He's sleep so we know he's 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.760 not there and he's not getting up. He's not getting up. 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.000 So we drove as close as we could get a 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.839 couple of blocks away from the fire. Police have closed 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:52.680 the street down. Everyone's making illegal U turns right because 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:56.880 total shit show. And then there's people on bikes that 0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:00.000 are like it's like being a Disneyland watching the fireworks show. 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.839 The fire was that intense. People were like out and 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.760 about at one in the morning and just could not 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:07.800 believe what they were looking at. 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:09.640 Did you see a helmet man? 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:14.200 Yeah, he was selling some shirts and some trash. But no, 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:16.240 we were not able to get that close. But the 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:20.040 story does have a well, not a happy ending for everybody, 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.280 but for us. The LA Fire Department was able to 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:27.320 save the warehouse that my father in law owns, but 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:32.400 everything on the side burned. He did suffer some damage, 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:36.840 but not as much as the Interstate ten at Alameda, 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:41.119 which from what I read, will be closed for another month, 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:45.520 and they're lucky. So the fire was literally under the 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:50.080 freeway and burned so hot through the freeway that it 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:52.200 through the highway. It burned all the way up and 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:57.240 probably looked like it was like a thirteen story and 0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:59.440 maybe I'm exaggerating, but it seemed from a distance like 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.560 it was like over thirteen stories in the air. 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:04.960 I saw this on the news. Do they have any 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:06.040 idea how this started? 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.400 Yeah, so there was a storage place. I don't know 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:11.560 for sure, and don't take my word for it, but 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.800 as I understand it, the hypothesis that I've been told 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:18.120 from people who are down there is they were storing 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.680 wooden planks that the city of La or the state 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.600 of California had rented out the space under the freeway 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:29.400 for storage. So they were storing wooden planks and some 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:33.200 homeless people. Of course La is known for their homeless 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:38.520 They were doing something futzing around, this is the theory, 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:41.520 and whether they were trying to keep warm or not. 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:43.200 I don't think it was that cold that night, but 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:45.240 if I'm living outside, I might think it's that cold, 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:49.200 But they think that that's what led the initial fire, 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:52.199 and then it spread, it got out of control and 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:57.680 just burn, baby burn, And now you're out. You're pretty 0:08:57.720 --> 0:08:59.160 far west. I don't think you've had to deal with 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:03.360 like extra traffic. I had only one day. Actually it 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:06.480 was actually back on Thursday. I was driving home. We 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.559 were taping Benny versus the Penny, and I was driving 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:11.359 and I had to go kind of through that intersection 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:15.600 and that was a nightmare. But it's wild, man, of 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.000 all the places for the fire to be on the 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:24.160 same street that my father in law's businesses on, nuts 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.880 and he had I talked to him and he had 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.400 to have the insurance come down because there was some damage. 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:36.760 But fortunately his building, his warehouse, reinforced concrete and like 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:39.440 the most fireproof building you can have. It's like in 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.160 the top two or three for fireproof buildings, and it 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:44.760 actually worked. And for that thing not to burn down, 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:49.480 considering how large the flames were and how that thing 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:54.680 burned and burned and burned all night long, craziness, craziness. 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:59.000 So good job by the fire department and all that. 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.560 But it's gonna be a while before that that opens up. 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:05.200 Maybe they'll build the thunderdome there for like Cola. Maybe 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.199 like right under the freeway, they can build a thunder dome. 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:07.800 That'd be cool. 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:14.480 Well, they have the audience fire ready to bring the gas. 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:20.040 I'm I'm at home the other day, midday doing pre 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:24.640 production for Covino and Rich and Coco Melon is on 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:27.520 in the background. Now, Ben, you don't have any little 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:30.480 ones running around your your crib there. But have you 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:31.840 ever heard of Coco Melon? 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.920 Uh no, I've heard of Coco Beware, let me look 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:37.199 up Coco Melon. 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:39.000 Let me see Coco Melon. 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.280 So YouTube person or something is this. 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:45.280 They started this show on YouTube and now it's on Netflix. 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:48.920 I'm going to send you a picture of CoA watching 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:49.800 Coco Melon. 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.880 Okay, let's see here my phone up here. 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:57.280 Now CoA even has one of the characters of Coco 0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:02.080 Melon JJ, the big headed J, which you think Coco 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.720 Melon might be because they have big heads. It's actually 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.240 not how the creators came up with the name. 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:11.400 Okay, I mean I'm looking. I'm hoping this up here. 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:19.800 Oh wow, that's great.

Of course, you got to place 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:35.439 them far enough away from the TV so he doesn't 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:39.320 get cross eyed. But so you give them tummy time, 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.080 or you turn their head the other way that they 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:45.520 don't normally place their head to build up the strength 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.120 in their neck so that he can, you know, move 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.839 his Coco Melon the right way without having to wear 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:52.280 a helmet later in life. 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:54.920 That as much as you can. 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:59.400 Yeah, exactly, As he's watching Coco Melon and I'm surfing 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.240 for stories for the guys for topics that day, my 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.480 phone goes off and I'm thinking, all right, this time 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.240 of the day, it's usually our boss or one of 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:12.560 the guys from the show. Glance at my phone and 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:18.240 it's one Clay T Travis. No Way, not usually a 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:20.920 big deal, but it is right now because as you know, 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:24.400 Clay is busy with multiple companies. 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.520 And yeah, he's got out kick, he's got the Rush 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:28.080 Limbaugh job right the show. 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:32.559 Yeah, Plus he's busy throwing down one million dollar bets 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:33.840 to w NBA. 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:37.640 Teams popping up on Fox and who's doing those and 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:38.040 all this? 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:41.320 Sure, exactly, it had been a few weeks since I 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:46.679 saw Clay Travis text. So here's what it reads. And 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:48.960 now you and I of course have an inside joke 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:53.319 that by the time we get this Animal Thunderdome podcast going, 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:56.120 CoA will be the one hosting it. Yeah. 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.760 No, CoA is a grandchild will host it. Actually yeah, yeah, 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:03.360 I'll be long gone. It'll be coha gee, and it'll 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:09.280 be Nash Travis. He's one of Clay's kids. So this 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:15.199 text came in Tuesday Talk. It says I can be 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.439 ready to go on Thunderdome soon. 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.840 All right, Yeah, that's right, that's great. 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:28.040 I wrote back, awesome news. Yeah, and he wrote back nothing, 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:33.920 what well? I mean because he he's a run texter. 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:34.880 He'll he's a busy guy. 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.240 I got you. Yeah, He'll send one text and that'll 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:38.640 be it for a few weeks. 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.160 So that sounds like a green light though, that sounds like, hey, 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:42.000 I'm ready to go. 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:46.200 Yeah, because I had been waiting for his contract to 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:49.840 allow him to do more shows than he's doing right now. 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.120 And so for him to say I can be ready 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:55.600 to go on Thunderdome soon, I don't know does that mean? 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:57.679 Twenty twenty four twenty twenty five. 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:02.400 Ah'm well, the way this is going, it had been 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:06.199 going twenty twenty seven or twenty twenty eight, but I'm otimus. Now. 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:12.120 Nothing seems to happen between Thanksgiving Christmas, right, so I'm 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:13.600 guessing early January. 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:15.360 That's what I was hoping for. 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:17.720 Yeah, yeah, Now we're not going to lose you on 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:18.319 this podcast. 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:22.320 Oh no, this will be additional. He'll he'll do once 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.800 a week with me with all the best animal stories. 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:28.200 Oh, you gotta have some good animal sound effects and stuff, 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:31.680 and that'd be good. Yeah, I would listen. I have 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:33.040 drops from back in the day. 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:36.880 We had certain drops from like Australian guys, from different 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:37.600 stories we. 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:39.840 Did, oh that ten cups again. 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:43.360 I get all the old drops ready to go and 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:47.280 look for some death like whenever somebody dies at the 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:50.480 hand of an animal, Clay will text me that story. 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:53.000 You gotta see this. You got to check this out. 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:57.880 We've got death bye bye or something. I guess because 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.000 I don't want to say that this podcast doesn't get promotion, 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:03.160 but I think that Clay's will if you, Clay's part 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.560 of that with you. I don't think Danny, you're gonna 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:08.760 have to worry about downloads and promotions and things like that. 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:11.160 I don't think you'll have to beg anyone to listen 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:14.360 because that would all over the iHeart app and they 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:16.000 will promote the hell out of that thing. 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.680 Now, the flip side of that is when I hear 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:20.520 from people, well. 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:23.320 The people that hate Clay because it was politics, what 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:26.240 is going on? That is kind of height. 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:35.080 People love animal death people, human sharks, dinosaurs, dinosaurs. Well, 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:38.360 there were some dinosaur stories, Ben, because remember when all 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:40.320 that wooly mammoth stuff was going on. 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:43.120 Oh yeah, there is actually one of those and my 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:46.480 spin off of your show that I have on my 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:48.240 Maybe we'll get to that on Sunday. There is a 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:50.120 willy mammoth story. Yeah. 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.080 So there'd be stuff like that, and I would always 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:55.560 book guests who were like the leading expert on wooly 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:59.040 mammoths and stuff like that, and it got really good 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:03.280 reviews from people. Well, the kickback that I would get is, hey, 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:07.200 Klay Travis, he's a douchebag. Clay sucks, Clay's a dick, 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.760 He's an asshole. So that's the only thing about being 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:13.400 on the air with Clay is that you got to 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.840 deal with all the bullets that come flying your way. 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:19.560 Yeah, well you're the man in the arena, right, You'll 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:21.400 be with the man in the arena. So that's that's 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.880 gonna happen. And but you know, the good thing is 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.360 you know they're all assholes, but that's fine. And the 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.560 difference with the podcast though, would be, like you have 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:31.880 to it's not like radio where you kind of stumble 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:34.160 on to a radio shower Clay's whif is play on 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.720 my radio? Like you have to physically choose to click 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:38.560 the button to download the podcast. 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:41.640 That's a great point. It's gonna be his fans that 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:42.640 click on there. 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:46.840 Yeah, Like, and I'm sure he's got, as you reference, 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.400 plenty of trolls that will download it. It's like the 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:52.520 old Howard Stern thing. I remember the when Stern was 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:54.960 at his peak back in the day and he was 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:57.760 like the baddest man on radio and before he became 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:00.600 all woke and terrible and painful to listen to. But 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:02.800 back in the old days when he was on, when 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:06.000 he had his fastball Howard Stern, like they said the 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:10.680 consultants said that people listen longer because they hated him. 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.359 It was Stern effect. People who really hated Howard Stern 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:16.879 would listen longer, and I'm telling you the same thing 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:19.119 about me happens with Clay Travis. Like the people that 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:21.359 like Clay, there's a plenty of people. I obviously got 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:25.440 the biggest job in political radio, replacing Howard Stern, Replacing 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:29.640 Howard Stern, replacing Rush Limbaugh, which is an amazing, amazing 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.000 stage to be on. I mean, the greatest of all 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:35.400 time in political radio, Rush Limbaugh, to replace him is insane. 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:37.840 But the Stern thing, I'm sure there's people who listened 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:40.199 to Clay because they get annoyed, and the people that 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:41.760 like him might listen a little bit, but the people 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:44.640 that really don't like him just so that they don't 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:47.119 want to miss a chance to be upset at something 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.160 he says. But I don't know how upset you could 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:53.600 be when he's breaking down an alligator walking on a 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:56.119 golf course in South Carolina or something like that. I 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:58.280 did have since you brought this up. I did not 0:17:58.280 --> 0:17:59.600 plan on bringing this up. I was going to say 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:01.280 this for for Sunday, but we can do it now. 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.080 The animal stories and this is like, this is the 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:06.399 kind of stuff, Danny, that you know we might have 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.879 to retire Safari Kingdom because you'll be doing this on 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:15.080 Animal Thunderdome, the extinction of the wooly mammoth by twenty 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:18.040 twenty eight. How insane is that. 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:21.520 Yeah, this is a story that's been going on for 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:26.159 a while because we did this story originally on the 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:32.040 Animal Thunderdome because there were scientists trying to read a 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:33.000 wooly mammoth. 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:35.560 Yeah, scientists are working right how to create the wooly 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:41.000 mammoth genome. If successful, they would use Asian elephants to 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:45.560 surrogate mother, and the company plans to monetize some of 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:48.439 the technologies that develops, they say, in the process. But 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:53.679 the plan is colossal Biosciences their plan to combine DNA 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:59.040 from ancient species with living Asian elephants to give birth 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:02.879 to a half that would live on a tribal land, 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:05.640 the wooly freaking mammoth. 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:07.960 That is freaking awesome. 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:13.560 The thing died out four thousand years ago. It's like 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:18.280 freaking Jurassic Park is happening, Danny. Yeah, you know, assuming 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:20.720 we don't meet our untimely demise, we'll be alive to 0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:24.639 see it. That's nuts. That is wild to me. 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:29.000 Oh Man Animal Kingdom. Can you imagine the folks they're 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:31.560 scrambling to get one of these onto their property. 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:34.840 Oh yeah, the sandy coming down to the San Diego 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:40.280 Zoo to see a willy mammoth or whatever. Nuts nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, nuts, 0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:43.679 nuts nuts. Let's see what else I saw. The first 0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:48.320 ever known case of zombie deer disease has been confirmed. 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:53.480 That's exciting. What is zombie deer disease? It was confirmed 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:57.560 in Yellowstone National Park. That's why they're concerned. I've never 0:19:57.560 --> 0:19:59.680 been to Yosun. I'd love to go. I think would 0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:01.240 be cool. I want to go to all the national 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:03.199 parks I can go to. But they they're warning that 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:06.560 there's a fatal brain disease that makes animals drool and 0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:11.040 unafraid of humans. People in Wyoming are freaking out. They're like, 0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:13.080 what are we going to do here. It's a chronic 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:18.280 wasting disease. It causes zombie like symptoms, so the animals 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:21.040 are usually afraid of us human beings. According to the 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:25.480 US Park US National Park Service, they've been warning people like, hey, 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:28.400 you can't you can't have any contact with the animals 0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:32.320 because they'll they're not afraid of you and they'll run 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:38.040 right at you. So that was in triggering. What else 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:41.200 do you see animal kind of bug wise or whatever. 0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:45.439 There's nearly fifty new fast moving nocturnal spider species that 0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:48.680 have been discovered in Australia. There's all kinds of weird, 0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:51.960 Like are guys in Australia Ozzie Wahz and those guys 0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:53.760 that listen to the podcasts in Australia, You guys have 0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:59.280 some really wild crape. Seriously, it's nuts. It's like its 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:02.400 own it's on Earth, but it's got its own thing. 0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:07.240 That is just a different level. 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:12.120 How about this headline, Police trace calls for help back 0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:13.280 to a sad goat? 0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:14.480 Say what? 0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:19.480 In British Columbia authorities they responded to reports of a 0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:22.720 call for help and arrived to find the cries were 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:27.919 actually originating from a sad goat. Officers say they responded 0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:31.360 to somebody repeatedly shouting help from a ravine, what's going 0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:31.600 on with? 0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:33.320 What's going on with Tom Brady? What is he? 0:21:34.880 --> 0:21:37.919 And the person who heard the calls was scared that 0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:41.600 a person had fallen off a cliff. They further investigated 0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:44.600 the situation and found out it was just a sad 0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:50.879 goat from the neighboring goat farm. The farmer's owner told 0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:53.800 officers that the goat was calling out for her babies. 0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:57.479 Wow, that's a that's a good story. 0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:01.320 I'll bet your wife gets some calls like, oh yeah, 0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:04.520 nuts great, but she has the regular I have regular callers. 0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:07.199 He has regular callers.

Obviously, the famous story of how Jeanie 0:22:12.000 --> 0:22:12.840 found on the show. 0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:16.800 That's right, the great Geniu Medfressory, the greatest caller in 0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:17.840
