I just googled new social media discord. 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:17.239 We know about Twitch, Instagram reels, No, we know about Patreon. Yeah, 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:22.880 I don't know Twitter, Space. Let me see Spotify, green Room, Caffeine, No, 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:28.960 super Nova na clubhouse not clubhouse now, I don't know. 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.080 Maybe it's been around for a while and I don't know. 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:34.600 I just don't remember the name, but it's Yeah. My 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.640 my niece is in high school, so she's much cooler 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:40.560 than I am, quite far. She's got all the answers 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:42.720 to lights fine, and she shops at thrift stories. My 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:46.440 other niece is in college, so she's come on. Al Right, 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:48.920 the first too cool for you with all those holes 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.960 in their jeans. Damn right? All right, we start with 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:56.240 this one. Mike from Fullerton rights in and he says, hey, Ben, 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.839 you asked how I became a rabid fan of your show, 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:00.520 So I will say, oh, this is the big reveal 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:04.240 from Mike from Fullerton. Uh, he says, I've just been 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:08.360 an occasional sports radio listener until last summer when I 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.480 was looking for more things to listen to in the background, 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:15.440 I found a show I liked, but it was not yours, 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.480 he points out. It was Fox Sports Radio alumnus Steve 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:22.520 Mason and John Ireland Mason and Ireland show. Both of 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.440 them worked at Fox Sports Radio back in the day. 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.479 In fact, John Ireland, before he became the Laker broadcaster, 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:32.760 did a Saturday morning show with Steven A. Smith at 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:36.200 Fox Sports Radio. Steven had not done much radio, they 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.840 worked together. I did updates on that show from time 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:43.240 to time. I do recall trying to touch up Stephen 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:47.880 as work. He did not appreciate that, but Steve Mason 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:52.560 also a Fox Sports Radio guy. Anyway, Mike says, I 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:56.000 mainly podcasted them at night, and I enjoyed it until 0:04:56.040 --> 0:05:00.760 the NBA season started and all their whining and illusions 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:05.240 over the West Brick Lakers disaster got very annoying, so 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:07.120 I dropped him. How about that? He got rid of 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.440 Mason in Ireland. They've been on the radio and in in 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:11.960 l A for like three decades. He says, I put 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.839 Fox Sports Radio on one night because I needed a 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:19.240 new show, and Yours was on. Brian Finley was filling in, 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:24.960 and Tennis arguments took over. It was great. Wow. I 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:28.040 became a fan of the show right away. You can 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:31.880 either thank or blame Brian Finley for that. I'm gonna 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:35.080 blame him. Uh And Mike says, I listened for a 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:38.640 few months without contributing anything until the Rams won the 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:42.760 Super Bowl. I was pumped up, so I called the 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.120 Instant Advice Line for the first time and started tweeting 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.560 the show that night. The reason I've been tweeting more 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.760 the last few months, he says, is just that I've 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.640 been around longer and I started talking to the other 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.600 super fans of the show. He says also enjoyed bugging 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:03.880 my friends with clips from the show. He also says, 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.680 if you're wondering how I am able to listen to 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:10.760 the show every night, it's pretty simple. I'm not very 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:15.120 outgoing and I work from home. That's like the perfect combination, right, 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:21.320 introvert work from home, check mate. He says, that's my story. 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:24.800 Keep up the great work man and YouTube Danny Gee. Well, 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.920 thank you, Mike. I am flattered. And I do like 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:32.000 Mike's sense of humor. He's got a very sarcastic, dry 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:35.920 sense of humor, which I enjoy very much. Are we 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:37.919 going to eat him at the Mallard Meat and Greece? 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:40.760 He said, he's not very outgoing and he's an introvert, 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:45.040 so probably not. Now. I I will say these things 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.440 I've done in the past. Usually what happens, and I 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.839 know this because I'm an introvert too, but I I 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.279 usually take some caffeine, so I'm bouncing off the walls 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:56.280 at these things. Normally there'll be a few fellow introverts 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:59.080 that will go to these things and sit by themselves, 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.400 kind of in the back act, because that's what we 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:04.680 do as introverts. Yeah, and so I'll try to as 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.360 much as I can go up and say hello if possible, 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:11.040 because I have that bond with the introvert, and so 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.240 there's a connection that we have and I understand the 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.680 language or the introvert. So anyway, I thank you Mike 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:22.080 for that. Keep it going on really quick, Ben, your niece, 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:26.640 is it be Real. Yes, there it is be Real. 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.120 You ever heard before? Yeah, I found this New York 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.920 Times article. It says this new social app is boring 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.800 in a good way. Once a day, at an unpredictable time, 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:42.040 be Real notifies its users that they have exactly two 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:45.520 minutes to post a pair of pictures. The feed is 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:50.680 mundane but also fun for now at least. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:54.800 because we were at the beach and Uncle Benny, that's me, 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:56.720 I'm Uncle Benny. So we I had to be in 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.480 the photo with my niece. You know, she got the 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:03.520 notification while Yeah, we were hanging out in the the 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.240 beach cabana, which is just a tent, but we were 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.560 hanging out there and she's all, I gotta gotta post this, 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:10.920 And so we get to the bottom of everything on 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.480 this damn podcast. You want to answers, We gotta answers 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.280 Chris and Marrit Coca to Iowa writes in he says, 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:19.600 if you could choose where and how you will die, 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:23.440 what would it be? That's a very morbid question. On 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:29.520 the beach, watching the sunrise or in a warm bed? Uh? 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.120 Can I take none of the above? I don't know. 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.120 I mean, you know, you don't. You don't know how. 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:36.640 It's the surprise of life, the mystery of life. You 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:40.640 don't know how you're gonna die? Um, and do you 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:44.160 want to die suddenly? I have. It's a weird thing 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:46.760 because I have both experiences. My mom had breast cancer. 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:49.959 She was sick for many years, the last probably ten 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:51.720 years of her life. Most of it she was sick, 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:56.920 and then my dad was mostly healthy up until like 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.200 just a couple of days before he checked out. And 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:04.360 so I don't I don't know what's better. I I 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.080 felt like more with my mom. I got to say 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:09.120 goodbye to her, and we knew the end was coming. 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.880 My dad, I didn't really expect that he was not 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.080 going to make it. So that's a that's a tough 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:20.760 one to people say die in their sleep. But the 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:24.240 moment you die, don't you go like ah like that? Yeah, 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:28.400 I mean I guess if you Yeah, it's hard to 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.400 answer that question. But you would love to be surrounded 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:35.400 by your loved ones. Yes, And my mom got that, 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:38.160 which is great because we knew what was going to happen. 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:41.040 When my dad did not because of we had a 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.760 heart attack, but it was also because of COVID and 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:47.840 all that stuff. That's unfortunate. Chris also says when you 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:52.000 get mail delivered, changing the topic from from the mail delivery, 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.480 when you get mail delivered to your house and it 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:58.640 isn't yours, you a throw it away, be put it 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.679 in the correct mailbox, or see right, return to center 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.720 on it and put it back in your mailbox. Ps 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:09.000 go raiders. So the answer to that for me, Chris 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:13.760 is I will I don't throw it away unless let 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:17.320 me let me check that unless it's like junk mail. Yeah, like, 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:19.200 well this person, Why am I going to track down 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.360 this person? They're not gonna want this. But assuming it's 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:24.360 it doesn't look like junk mail, I will try to 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.960 put it in the correct box. But if it's somewhere 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:29.920 I don't realize where it is and all that, I'll 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:31.640 just you know, do the return to center thing. But 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.520 I don't throw it away unless it's junk. Yeah, if 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:38.240 it's somebody you know in your neighborhood and they just 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:42.199 got a couple of the house or apartment numbers backwards, 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.400 then you walk it down and set it on their doorstep. 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.000 But if you could tell it's junk, you're right, you 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.839 throw that in the trash can. Yeah. The last thing 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.040 you want is a neighbor to bring you junk mail 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.120 and be like yeah, yeah, you didn't get this, but 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.680 here it is. I was like, no, no, no, no, no, 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.480 I don't need that exactly. Thanks for my phone bill. 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:02.679 I don't want that. It's junk mail. Yeah, I know 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.360 you pay it, Okay, I don't. I don't need that 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:07.880 at all. All right, what what the heck is wrong 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:14.800 with you? All right? What is next year? We do? Uh? 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:19.160 Next one, says dear Menace of night radio and die 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.920 no my Danny g. Oh, this is Neil from the 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:26.880 real Miami. He says. It has come to my attention 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:31.439 that you two utes are in a career surrounded by sausages. 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.400 You know what I mean. I've been there. I spent 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:40.880 five years in the Marines. Fun real, not real, fun. 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:46.679 Question for you two utes? What other career do you 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:51.600 or did you dream of? For a taco party? Danny? 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:55.840 He says, Look at that? Is that the reason Danny 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.880 g got a gig at the school? Wow warm regard 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:09.560 from the other Sunshine state. Here Neil in Miami. So yeah, 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:12.520 how do you answer that when I what other career 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:16.400 would you do like a strip club. DJ. Well, I 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:18.960 was gonna say, and hopefully when you're thinking about work, 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:23.240 you're thinking with your big head, because I never thought about, well, 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:25.400 let me think about this career because there's gonna be 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:29.120 girls there. That's not how that works. Um. You know, 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.760 I was at FM radio stations, so that had a 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:37.760 combination of female and male DJs. But obviously he's right 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:41.880 about sports radio, it's predominantly male. But we don't go 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:45.680 to work to mac on anybody were we both have 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:48.920 significant others. First of all, I guess that hasn't stopped 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:53.360 some other dirt bags, but we're not. Neither of us 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:56.240 are like that. And No, to answer his question about 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:59.320 going to a school and working there or teaching at 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:04.760 a school, my experience with female teachers has not been 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:08.680 so amazing. I mean, I don't want to stereotype female teachers, 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:13.800 but uh, they're either granola cruncher's or they're very strict, 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:18.600 or they're very old or but I but I've never 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:22.000 gone to a campus thinking about, oh man, what teachers 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.920 are gonna be here. I'm thinking about, oh ship, what's 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.960 my lesson plan for this morning? How many kids are 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:32.160 going to be in this class. Yeah. Yeah, well he's 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:35.200 probably thinking like as when you're younger, you know, you 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:40.360 imagine okay, okay, the hot teacher or something like that. 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:44.160 Or uh, maybe I've been too serious with work then, 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:45.760 because I didn't think about that when I was a 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:51.080 kid either. Yeah. No, I had very old, cremudgeney teachers. 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:55.760 I did not have anyone mildly attractive who was a 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:59.040 teacher of mine, as I recall. Maybe I had a 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.760 substitute one time that was kind of cute, but other 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.240 than that, it was and you know, even if she 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.720 was cute, I mean I was. I was the bowling ball, 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:10.120 I was the beach ball. I mean, no, there's nothing 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:15.200 going on there at all. I got mail, yea, I 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:21.800 got mail Ya Berry from Music City, USA. He says, 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:27.040 yah yama, Man, Benny, yah yama, Benny. I am really 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:31.760 hoping that today, on this episode The Real Fifth Hour, 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:34.760 you will give us an update on Benny versus the Penny. 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:38.920 Come on, man, I also have you mentioned you have 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:42.640 mentioned rather Barry says, you have mentioned many times that 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:44.800 you like to bet on the NFL. Do you bet 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:49.040 on any other sports, either professional or college? I'll hang 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:53.280 up and listen Hello, l all right, so Barry, the 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:58.080 first thing is the Benny Versus the Penny thing is 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.520 all over the map. There's a possibility that will be 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:09.000 on this podcast. There's a chance it'll be on different platform. UM. 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:12.280 I am talking to a number of people about this, 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:16.640 and it's a very fluid situation. And I realized the 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:20.640 NFL season is less than a month away now, and uh, 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.080 I don't have anything locked down. I'm really at the 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:28.320 mercy of some very powerful people that I am caught 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:32.600 up as you as you know Danny, in the bureaucracy 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:36.200 of corporations, and you know, it's just the part of 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:40.720 the the way this stuff works. So there's also a 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:43.560 chance that Benny Versus the Penny might start out on 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:47.920 the podcast, and then at some point, since I own 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:51.560 that proper, I guess it could move to another platform 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:56.400 later on. Um. That's also on the table. Uh, And 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:58.800 so there's different possibilities. I was I was actually playing 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:00.240 around Dan. I don't know if we should tal about 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:02.480 this on the podcast, but if you do end up 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:04.320 being the Penny, at least at the beginning of the year, 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:06.600 I was thinking maybe there'd be a way we could 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:11.760 do this on a Twitch Feed recorded because a lot 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:14.080 of the fans of the show loved the live interaction 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:16.560 and that's a a big part of it. So I 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:19.120 thought maybe we could do something on Twitch and then 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:21.800 recorded off there and use it for the fifth hour 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.760 on the weekends, like, don't do it on a oneever time. 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:28.200 We'll just It's like I remember when Adam Corolla started 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:30.320 doing his podcast stuff. He just like tweet out, hey, 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.280 we're doing a live show called now ye that, like 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:36.200 we could do something like that. And then I'm pretty 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:38.480 sure I don't know about Barry's schedule, but I bet 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:41.080 you Alf the Adental Pineer would show up no matter when, 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:45.920 and and Justin and Cincinnati and just Josh and your 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:58.160 lover Rachel Brohlalla A right of course. So wow, she's 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:02.520 a wonderfully talented music shouldn't werelucky to have her? All Right, 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:06.399 come back pay Attuching, It's time for little speak of 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:09.480 the Devil, and he shall appear. Pierre from far far 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:12.320 away says, I will not be attending the Mallard meet 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:16.560 and greet in the o C Huh, how dare him? Pierre? 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:20.280 If you had started walking but have maybe made it 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:23.600 to Pennsylvania by the time the thing starts anyway, uh, 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:25.520 he says, ben I feel the need to clear the air. 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:31.600 Pierre writes, there's a lot of fake news surrounding me, 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:38.280 the Muppet militia and the Mallard militia. Here says, first off, 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:43.600 my burner account was inspired by the feud between Ernie 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:46.800 and the rest of the Muppet militia. I enjoyed the 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:50.399 playful attacks and am very sad that Ernie and the 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:54.280 rest of the Muppet parody accounts are gone. He says. 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:58.080 I was Switzerland in the skirmish and did not take sense. 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:00.199 For those of you the new to the show, I 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:04.840 had this guy, Ernie, the Great Opiner, who lived in 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:07.640 Michigan and was a super fan of the show and 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:11.320 contributed a lot of content, and he had Ernie from 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:15.679 Bergen Ernie as his avatar. And what happened on the 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:20.720 show was a number of other listeners got jealous that 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:24.560 this guy was getting all the attention, and they were 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:28.960 very annoyed, and so they started attacking him by coming 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:33.920 up with other Muppet accounts. Came out of nowhere, and 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:36.600 we thought it was funny, and then it just kept 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:39.080 happening one after another. It wasn't random after a while. 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:41.320 And I don't know if it was just one person 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:43.200 or if it was like fifty people, but it seemed 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:46.959 like a lot of people had Muppet account and so anyway, Ernie, 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:50.000 it was all fun and games at first, and Ernie 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:53.480 was cool and all that, and then at some point 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:58.400 things went terribly wrong. And I'm not really sure what happened, 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:03.600 but some of these uninvited guests who became Muppet accounts 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:07.960 said they did something. Ernie claims he changed shifts, but 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:10.480 I think there's more to it. I think it goes 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:13.560 deeper than that. Danny, Yeah, I think it had something 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:18.000 to do with a certain snuffle up against Avatar. Well 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:21.840 maybe Oscar the Grouch came over and started ship talking 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:24.280 from his can food and then Ernie gotta you gotta 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:26.320 have thicker skin than that. Though there's a lot of 0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:30.399 Oscar the Grouches in this world. Yeah. Yeah, and social 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:32.600 media is a cess pool anyway, We've known that since 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:36.480 that one. And you know, people do stuff just to 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:39.879 get attended. Do you see the video that went viral 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:42.840 this week of the guy that went up to uh, 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:45.879 this NBA player in the candy shop and he's like 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:49.159 Russell Westbrook, Russell Westbrook, I love you, Russell Westbrook. And 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:54.640 it was Ben Simmons. Yeah, yeah, And so I think 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:56.879 I was just being a dick. And there was the 0:19:56.920 --> 0:19:59.480 other one, Chris Paul. Chris Paul. Yeah, it was the 0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:02.080 same thing. And so you know there's some guys asked 0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:04.240 not you got the wrong NBA player or whatever, but 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:07.560 it was like just doing it. Get social media cloud. Yeah, 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:11.840 they're being funny. All right. Back to the message from Pierre, 0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:14.480 he says, as far as me bullying members of the 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:17.080 Malla misia, that is also fake news. I have been 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:20.960 very supportive to others new and old, to the Malley Militia. 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:23.840 As far as my question, this is probably aimed towards 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:27.399 the great Danny J. Pierre says, as he once sat 0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:31.080 in Roberto's chair as well as Coops. Every day I 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:33.800 listened too much to the live show and then I 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:37.600 download and listened all four hours at work. How about this? Yeah, 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:41.959 dream listenership for us right there? God bless you, Pierre. 0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:46.320 What do you think Pierre does for work? What kind 0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:49.440 of work do you think Pierre listens to the radio? Yeah, yeah, 0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:53.280 you monetize that. I'm a pro radio listener. Yeah, my 0:20:53.480 --> 0:20:57.159 question is why does some audio get dropped from the pod? 0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:01.960 I e. Certain sound effects, music, or even crew members audio. 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:07.880 Sometimes I'll hear you Ben conversing, but not the other 0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:12.560 crew member. Yeah. Yeah, that doesn't happen a lot, because 0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:17.879 when it does happen, it's a mistake. Usually, Yeah, unless 0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:20.760 it's some copy written material that we know can't be 0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:25.000 included in the podcast. But because of that, sometimes on 0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:28.239 the board we call them pots pot not because we 0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:34.520 smoke them smoke weed. It's an abbreviation. And that's the 0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:36.879 line on the board that you turn up and down. 0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:41.520 They're settings above that, each line on the control board, 0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:44.240 and you can either feed it to the live air 0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:46.960 and the podcast, or you could press that button to 0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:50.600 not feed it to the podcast. So, for instance, when 0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:54.280 we play rejoined music, that's not fed to the podcast. 0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:57.919 And sometimes you'll play a sound effect or something like that, 0:21:58.080 --> 0:22:00.840 or you'll accidentally have that button off on a microphone 0:22:01.240 --> 0:22:04.959 up at top and so that's not fed to the podcast. 0:22:05.320 --> 0:22:07.800 We look back later and we see a gap in 0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:10.200 the podcast, We're like, oh, ship, what was supposed to 0:22:10.280 --> 0:22:13.360 be right there? And then I'll say, hey, Roberto, you're 0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:17.320 not feeding X or Y to the podcast and he's like, 0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:19.760 oh ship and he presses the button and gets it 0:22:19.800 --> 0:22:23.680 back to the podcast. So no bumper music. What about 0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:26.520 the Mallard music? We can put that on the podcast. Yeah, 0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:30.280 if a listener sends us something that they personally created, 0:22:30.760 --> 0:22:32.879 we can play that. If it's something that you or 0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:36.080 I personally created, we can play that. But if it's 0:22:36.119 --> 0:22:39.439 something that's copy written, we can't play that music on 0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:43.440 a podcast. Yeah. And the company we work for, I heart, 0:22:44.240 --> 0:22:47.680 they have to write a giant check to the record companies. Right, 0:22:47.880 --> 0:22:50.400 is that it's as cap I think? Is that still 0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:54.960 the outfit that controls the music the money. Every time 0:22:54.960 --> 0:22:58.840 we play anything, we have to send money. And if 0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:02.439 we were only allowed to a certain amount of music, 0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:05.760 not to get two inside radio. But there's lots of 0:23:05.800 --> 0:23:08.960 different rules. For instance, if we were like, hey, let's 0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:12.440 have a Bob Marley Friday, we actually couldn't sit there 0:23:12.440 --> 0:23:15.800 and play Bob Marley three or four times an hour 0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:19.280 for an entire show. And also you're not allowed on 0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:22.399 a network like us. We're not allowed to promote music 0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:25.120 that's coming up because we're not a music station, So 0:23:25.440 --> 0:23:29.119 we are actually not allowed to say oh, coming up next, 0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:33.240 I'm gonna play this song. We can't do that. So 0:23:33.320 --> 0:23:37.800 there's lots of little strange copyright rules. Yeah, and so 0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:41.720 the company rights a giant check, one of those huge checks, 0:23:41.840 --> 0:23:45.479 and then they as cap Well, it's great. Imagine if 0:23:45.480 --> 0:23:47.600 you're a musician and you write a hit song that 0:23:47.640 --> 0:23:50.800 gets a lot of radio play, even like you can 0:23:50.840 --> 0:23:54.000 do it when you're nineteen years old, eighteen, whatever it 0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:56.520 might be, and you're getting you get a little bit 0:23:56.560 --> 0:23:58.800 of money for the rest of your the rest of 0:23:58.840 --> 0:24:01.200 your time. You're getting a litt chet Yeah. It's exactly 0:24:01.240 --> 0:24:04.560 like how Coop still gets small checks from whenever they 0:24:04.600 --> 0:24:07.479 play his movie. How messed up are we though? Is 0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:09.919
