1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 1: week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants 3 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He 4 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the 5 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House of 6 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: hot takes break free for something special.

Well, you never know. Maybe they'll add 12 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: more games or something like that. But it is the 13 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: last scheduled Sunday for the National Football League, which is 14 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: not terrible news because Danny, you know what happens when 15 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: we get to the playoffs. That's always fun. And then 16 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: after the playoffs the silly season. We love the silly season. 17 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 1: Every day there's a new crop of bullshit, there's a bottom. 18 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 1: I ready to bring the gas that the insiders make 19 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 1: up because they make their living making up bullshit and 20 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: we love it and we get to break down the 21 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: bullshit whether we believe it or not. It's so much fun, 22 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: so much fun, and we have that to look forward 23 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: to after the playoffs are done. Who won the NFL 24 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: book up last year? I believe Eddie. I think Eddie 25 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: one last year. Yeah. Yeah, well, and we have that's 26 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: right with the book them to look forward to as well. 27 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: But right now we have a bunch bunch of random 28 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: emails that are between hay and grass, not easily categorized, 29 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: and they're all over the map. That's the one of 30 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: the things we love about the the mail Bag. You 31 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: know ever know what you're gonna get.

Some of 40 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,119 Speaker 1: the people that used to email us all the time. 41 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 1: You never know what happened. You wonder like some of 42 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: these people would emails every week and then they stopped 43 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 1: emailing us. Are they okay? Did they did we say 44 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: something to offend them? Did they have a medical condition? 45 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: Like you never know. It's it's the weird thing about that. 46 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: But but anyway, we we were. We're ready to go 47 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: here with the podcast.

Real fifth Hour at gmail 50 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: dot com, Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Are 51 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: you ready for this? Danny? You're prepared? Yeah? Strike up 52 00:02:51,480 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: the band for asked bend two point Oh, it's our guy, 53 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: ohio All. I feel like this whole show musically, we 54 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: we need a tip of the cap to our buddy 55 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: ohio All. He's provided us not only the mail bag, 56 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: but he's added you heard it yesterday. Pop goes the 57 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: culture all right? The first once from Barry in Nashville. 58 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: He says, Yo yo mo, Benny and Danny, help enlighten 59 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: all of us. Why do callers, after waiting for hours 60 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: on hold, they finally get on the air and they 61 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: speak with you, and then they asked to go back 62 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: on hold. This makes no sense to me. Barry says, 63 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: There are many ways to listen to the show, doing 64 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: it on hold seems the least attractive. Why are these 65 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: numbscles asking to go back on hold? So there's a 66 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: few reasons for that, Barry. First of all, I disagree 67 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: with your statement that being on hold is the least 68 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: attractive way to listen. I would say no, because you 69 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: actually get to hear the un filtered addition to the show. Yeah, 70 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that don't get broadcast, that 71 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: get dump because people have potty mouths and we can't 72 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: broadcast and unto rest to radio, and some stuff doesn't 73 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: even make the podcast because we have to cut it 74 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: out of the podcast. You get to hear the in 75 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: its raw state here on Fax Sports Radio, God Radio College. 76 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: So there's that. As far as why people would ask 77 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: to go back and hold, sometimes it's because they're out 78 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: of radio reception. The only way they can hear the 79 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: show is on the phone. Other times I don't know, 80 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,599 Speaker 1: like Jet who fled, I don't know what's on with 81 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: that guy. But there's reasons for it, like sometimes maybe 82 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: they can't talk at that moment, they think they'll be 83 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: able to talk a little bit later. There's things like that, right, 84 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: Danny Huny. I also think some listeners like to listen 85 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: in real time because there's obviously a delay on affiliates 86 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: as well as the Fox Sports Radio app. Yes, yeah, 87 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: for sure, there's a very long delay, not quite as 88 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: long as there used to be. But I was there 89 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: when the big delay came, and we always had a delay. 90 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: But we freaked out. Everyone in radio freaked out years ago. 91 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: Has it been twenty years since Janet Jackson showed her 92 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: boobies or is it only been like fifteen years. I 93 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: don't know. My ass feels so good right now. We 94 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: just keep adding years on. But that Super Bowl in Houston, 95 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: justin timber Lake and Janet Jackson, when you saw a 96 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: little nipple and apparently no one had ever seen a 97 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: nipple before and up close and personal, and that led 98 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: to all kinds of systems being put in and it 99 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: was like a big, big ship show for every radio 100 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: broadcaster and television broadcasting. Although it's impossible, I've tried to 101 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: do it, Danny, you can show a nipple on the radio. Possible. 102 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: There's no nip slippage on the radio. It's never happened before. 103 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Genie and Medford did it. I have 104 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: a statin night. John on Well, Jeannie gave you everything. 105 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: She gave you the full Monty. But anyway, Uh so 106 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: that's the answer to that. Next up is on the mailback. 107 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: Steve in Philadelphia says, hey, guys, Ben, I heard heard 108 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: your meltdown the other day during one of your award 109 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: winning Mallard monologues. Uh, you seemed genuinely upset. How did 110 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: you continue and finished the monologue? Well, Steve, I think 111 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: you're referencing if I'm correct on this, Um, there was 112 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: a bit of a walking disaster. This happens every once 113 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: in a while, Danny on the on the show, we 114 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: have a lot of moving parts and it's on the 115 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: the overnight. We do a lot of different features and 116 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: bits and whatnot. And sometimes we have new people that 117 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: come on the show. Roberto was under the weather one 118 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: night and so we had the new guy. And I 119 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,559 Speaker 1: don't play a lot of the top of things. Yeah, yeah, 120 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: he's he's quite the guy. He's been a radio for 121 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: a while. And um, but you know, we all we 122 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: all have hiccups. You know, we all fart five times 123 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: a day or whatever. So anyway, I don't usually play 124 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: a lot of sound in the monologues. Now, the way 125 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: this works, I produced the monologues that produced that part 126 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: of the show, So I get all the audio. Any 127 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: audio that we play I have to track down. I 128 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: have to log it. It's a big pain in the 129 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: s and I spent a lot of time getting ready 130 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: for the show, and it's just another thing I have 131 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: to do. And so but I I I logged the audio, 132 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: and then I will send it and then the editors 133 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: will actually cut it up. But I'll be the one 134 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: that says I need this fifteen second sound bite or 135 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: I need a seventeen second sound bite. So every once 136 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: in a while they'll be something already in the system, 137 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: but most of the time it's stuff I tracked that, right, 138 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: So that's how that works, just inside inside radio. So 139 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: I for some reason, I was feeling frisky on Wednesday, 140 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: and I decided, you know, there's a lot of good 141 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: sound bites from different people in the NFL. I would 142 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: like to incorporate those into my monologues rather than me 143 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: just pretend to be them and read the quote. So 144 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: I did. And now, in fairness, in my defense, Danny, 145 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: at the time I did it, I was on the 146 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: assumption Roberto was going to be on the show. Uh. 147 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: And I didn't get the message until after I had 148 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: sent the the audio in to be cut up for 149 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: the show that Roberto was under the weather and he 150 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: wasn't gonna be able to come in. But I figured 151 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: I'd wasted all this time. I'm some dimwitted idiot. I 152 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 1: wasted all this time. I might as well use the 153 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: audio anyway. I mean, how hard could it be? And 154 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: uh and obviously as you if you listen, and I 155 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: guess this guy in Philly, Steve did it did it 156 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 1: was very awkward. Uh, there's no other way around it. 157 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: It was not kumbaya. Uh, it was not a Kuna matata. 158 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: It was what was the disconnect? Did he not know 159 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: where the audio? Well, no, I'm not sure exactly what happened. 160 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: I was, you know, everyone saw I blow my gasket 161 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: and uh, and I'm human talk And I got a 162 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: little upset because I tossed to the sound bite and 163 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: then there's like a like a ten second pause, which 164 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 1: you don't want that that's a bad sign. That's dead air. 165 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: But I figured if I start talking, maybe he'll play it. 166 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to start talking because I'll talk over it. 167 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: So then he he finally played it, but it was 168 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: the wrong bite. It was not the bite I had 169 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: sent in that I had spent all this time logging. 170 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 1: It was a different bite. It was a shorter bite. 171 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: So then I thought, Okay, that must be a mistake, 172 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: so why don't we throw to it again. Let's play 173 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: a full bite. So so then I'm like, well, let's 174 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 1: play the full bite. That was a mistake, Dade. That 175 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: was a tactical era on my part because there was 176 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 1: another like five second delay, and I'm bracing myself. I'm like, 177 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: oh man, I'm I'm starting to get worked up like 178 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: a volcano, right and I'm getting I'm getting piste off. 179 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm the one. Nobody knows what's going 180 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: on behind the scenes. They just know I'm the one 181 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: on the air. And uh so five seconds go by, 182 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: which seemed like ten minutes, and then the sound bite 183 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: plays and it's the same exacts out bite that we 184 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: just played that I just complained about. So at that point, 185 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,559 Speaker 1: I I I just I lost it. But but then 186 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 1: I composed myself and and I was able to finish it. Steve, So, yeah, 187 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: there there have been many more screw ups than that, 188 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: We've had some. I mean the most famous one of 189 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 1: them all is when I was doing the update and 190 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: the Royals are having their problems on the road, and 191 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: then we played I was sabotaged on that. So yeah, 192 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: that was an Art Martinez, special Artie Martinez, the great 193 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 1: Art Martinez, who who's to this day, said what my fault? 194 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: You know, I just played the sound bite. But anyway, 195 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: so that's what happened on that was in there and 196 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: he fixed everything. Right, Let's move on, Let's see what 197 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: are we happier? Pierre from the Hot Stove counting all 198 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 1: the zeros on Rafael Dever's contract, you congratulations.

How surprised were you and the misses 202 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: when Daddy g and Mrs TINDERRONI asked you to be 203 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: the godparents of the future Little Rader. Very funny, very funny, Pierre. 204 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a lot of jockeying, right, Danny for 205 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: that title for those kind of things, right, there's a 206 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: lot of movement going on behind the scenes, and family 207 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: trying to to sway you and and the wife there 208 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: am I correct on that? Well, you know, it's funny 209 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: you should ask about that because when I first broke 210 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: this news on our podcast, you mentioned you being a godfather. 211 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: I talked to my tender Rowni about that, and she said, 212 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: we don't we have to be Catholic for that. Nah, No, 213 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: I'm not Catholic either. What are you doing? Come on?

You know, Hey, 217 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: it's a ceremonial thing anyway, right, what else? I don't 218 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: even know what else goes into that. It's actual stuff 219 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: that if you're the Godfather, I think it would be 220 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 1: funny though, I say, you know, the Godfather my nicknames, 221 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: you know, and I'd be like, I'd be a legitimate 222 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: godfather because I'd be like like the godfather of you know, 223 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: the future, you know, whatever, you know, Jimmy G Radio 224 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: or whatever is.

So I 236 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: don't I don't make New Year's resolutions. I'm trying to think. 237 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: Nothing really pops in my head. I guess it would 238 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: be like, hey, I'm not gonna drink, and then you 239 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: start drinking right at like twelve oh one you start 240 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: taking a shot or something like that. But any anything 241 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: pop in your head there, Danny when it comes to 242 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: failed New Year's resolutions, Well, yeah, it's something that was 243 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: talked about on Coveno and Rich a couple of afternoons ago. 244 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: Did you hear about the story about Equinox? No? What 245 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: they're like a luxury Jim. Yeah, okay, Dave decided to 246 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 1: not accept new members hip applications on New Year's Day. 247 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: They do not want people who are making it their 248 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: New Year's resolution to work out, I'll come right now. 249 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: This is either to get publicity and to you know, 250 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: this is it's either a marketing strategy, or they really 251 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: are pissed about people that just come in and then 252 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: quit immediately and muck it up for their regulars. Yeah, 253 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: this is the dumbest thing. This is like McDonald saying 254 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: we've decided we don't want to sell Big Max right now, 255 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna take a couple of months off from selling 256 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: the Big Max. This. If I own no, it would 257 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: be like them saying, if you're only coming for the 258 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: mic ribb, oh yeah, yeah, because you're a seasonal customer, bastard. 259 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: If you're only coming to get in the way of 260 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: our drive through for our big Mac customer, because you're 261 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: only in it for the mcribb, we're not gonna sell 262 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: you a mic ribb. No, but think about if we 263 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: if we owned a gym like you know, Benny and 264 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: Danny G's world class, you know, twenty four hour a day, Jim, 265 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: some some bullshit, Jim. This is every year is a 266 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: mitzvah because all these dumbasses sign up for the gym, 267 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: and I know, I go to the jy. I'm a loser. 268 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: I go to the gym since my treadmill died up 269 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: a painful death when I moved into the north Woods 270 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: and still has not come back from the dead. So 271 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: I have to go to the gym. And I know 272 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: every January I see a bunch of new faces, and 273 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: by usually early February, they're all gone. They're all coming 274 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: that maybe one or two stick around past mid February 275 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: by the time the Super Bowls played. And you know, 276 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: because they don't have they have they either don't know 277 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: what to wear. They have the new gym clothes with 278 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: the tag on it. The women are all dolled up 279 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: with the makeup on, like what are you doing? Come on, 280 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: you hit the damn gym and that whold thing. So 281 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: do you want to hear their statement they put out 282 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: on social media. Sure, we don't speak January. The company 283 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: posted January is a language we don't understand. The statement 284 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: read a fantasy delivered to your door in a pastel 285 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: colored box. It talks about change. It wants you to 286 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: start something when you should be in the middle of it. 287 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: It thinks time is on its side, it's new, It 288 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: needs a new outfit before it can begin stalling, shortcutting, 289 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: giving up. So let me ask you this, Danny. What 290 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: happens when the marketing department gets a call from the 291 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: accounting department saying, you know how much money we just 292 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: lost because because of this promotion. Now, there was a 293 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: little bit of a debate between C and R because 294 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: I think it was Cavino who said, maybe they're just 295 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: trying to make it seem like they're so exclusive that 296 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: that would actually drive more attention and more customers their 297 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: way after this little January stunt is over, because if 298 00:16:55,760 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: it's exclusive, then more Layman's wanted. Yeah, I know that's 299 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: a flaw and human niches. It's like if you charge more, 300 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: people think you're getting a better deal or something like that. Right, 301 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: My argument would be the counter argument would be by 302 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: the time February comes, people are like, I'll just do 303 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: it next year. I'll just go I'll sign up for 304 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 1: the gym next year. This whole concept of time is 305 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: a human invention, Like it's it's just come on, all right, Uh, so, 306 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: and as far as the nicknameth you know, Mike, I don't. 307 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 1: I can't. I mean, people get upset when I do 308 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: the nickname. God did this last week? I will I 309 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: only did half last week, so it was more than enough. 310 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: So I will not tell you that I am known 311 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: as the Baron of balderdash, big gall bladder. You did 312 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: that one last week. Hold on, of second, let me 313 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: give you the other I did this. I really, I've 314 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: already forgotten. That's a bad that's a bad sign.

I don't have a big 351 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: music collection, Kevin, although I do have fun memories of 352 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: going to Tower Records. That was like the coolest thing. Man. 353 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 1: You felt like, really, I'm like, I'm not cool at all, 354 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 1: but I walked into Tower Records back in the day 355 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: and I felt like I was cool because that's where 356 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: the cool people hung out of Tower Records, especially that 357 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: one about that Tower Records in Hollywood, that location, Remember 358 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: that's the one I'm talking about. Yeah, I lived there, 359 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 1: and I lived in Hollywood. I used to go up 360 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: to Sunset and that was like the legendary spot, like 361 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: where they're like the big time musicians. He heard stories 362 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: about like Elton John would go in there to buy 363 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 1: his music, you know, and all this ship. Um, I 364 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: had a friend who met Tupac in there, and I 365 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:04,719 Speaker 1: actually bought Tupac I get around Maxie cassette single inside 366 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: that very tower record store. Yeah that's pretty cool, man, 367 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 1: but we're dating ourselves. But yeah, that's my my the 368 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: thing that popped in my head Kevin, when you brought 369 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: that up music in the past and buying music Tower records, 370 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: that was the spot. And then they died because of 371 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 1: what the internet, right, people just downloading music and that 372 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: was it. That was the death. Yeah, Napster started it all. 373 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: That was the downfall any other music file sharing and 374 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: uh boy, I met We did a live broadcast there 375 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: um in the late nineties with Mariah Carey. Good yeah, 376 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: good fond memories of that location right there. Yeah, I 377 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 1: mean I love listening to music on vinyl still, and 378 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: it's one of the reasons why vintage vinyl has made 379 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: such a comeback because instead of that high digital audio 380 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 1: sound with a lot of highs and mids, you get 381 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 1: that warm, m analog based low end feel from vinyl 382 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 1: and the crackling, the popping, that sound that we heard 383 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: when we were little kids when our grandparents would be 384 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: playing their vinyl records. Yeah, it's it's it's all coo. 385 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: Remember when I, you know, as a little kid, my 386 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,640 Speaker 1: mom had a record player and she played she bought 387 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 1: like kid music seat, you know, a disc and we'd 388 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: play that anyway. Jeff from Virginia Rights and he says, Hey, guys, 389 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: who do you think gave Joe Buck the word on 390 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: the five minute warm up? Does that come from a producer? 391 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: That's a that's a kind of a sportive question. It's 392 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: a great controversy this. Yeah, you'd be screaming about it 393 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: on the air if it did come from a producer. 394 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: I would be throwing the producer under the bush, creating 395 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: a monster. Of course. Uh no, my theory on that, 396 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 1: And I did a monologue about it. Jeff, I don't 397 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 1: know if you heard it, but it's it's really a good, 398 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: good story. It's the whole thing is a dark story 399 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 1: by what happened. It is a terrible thing that this 400 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: guy has his heart stopped twice on the field. They 401 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: had to give him CPR and resuscitate him. And I'm 402 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: just terrible. But that part of the story, that Joe 403 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: Buck part, is fascinating to me because the NFL, this guy, 404 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: Troy Vincent is sweat he swears right, He's like, oh no, 405 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: I would never, I would never. We would never as 406 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: an NFL tell him five minutes to warm up. But 407 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: watching that Monday night game, I don't know if you 408 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 1: got the same vibe I did, Danny, But the vibe 409 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: I got was Joe Buck was not in his element. 410 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: He was very uncomfortable, as I would be, and he 411 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: was really kind of going down in flames. He didn't 412 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: say a lot, and when he spoke, he sounded like 413 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: really shook up, as you would imagine. So my theory 414 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: was he was waiting for someone to tell him what 415 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,679 Speaker 1: was going on, and then once they did that, he 416 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 1: just kept repeating it. And so that's he claimed. Buck. 417 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: He did an interview with the New York Post, and 418 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: from what I read, he said that that rule expert 419 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 1: on the broadcast is the guy that got the five 420 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: minute thing from the NFL that they were given five 421 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: minutes to warm up, and that came directly from the 422 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: NFL rules expert who used to work for the league. 423 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: And I don't believe the NFL at all, because the 424 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: NFL monitors these life that they monitored these broadcasts in 425 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 1: real time, and it's all about name image and likeness. 426 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 1: They want to protect the brand and Joe Buck. The 427 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,360 Speaker 1: first time Joe Bucks had the five minute thing, if 428 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: that was bullshoy or bullpucky, as our friend Jay Scoop 429 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,239 Speaker 1: likes to say, then the NFL would have corrected him 430 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: and said, you can't say that, you take that back. 431 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: He repeated it three other times in the hour and 432 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: a half they were on the air, and as a 433 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: result of that, I'm and also they showed Joe Burrow 434 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 1: warming up. Yeah, like, why can't the NFL just say, 435 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 1: you know what? It was a fluid situation. We were 436 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: trying to figure it out as it was going on. 437 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: I don't think it of things ever gonna be perfect 438 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: in a situation like that. Yeah, they can't admit that 439 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 1: they screwed up. They can't admit that they left it up. 440 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: There can't do can't I do it. What was more 441 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: uncomfortable for me watching was Susie kolberg Uh with her 442 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: boys Chef Dy and who you know and bugger. Those 443 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: two guys wanted to just shut it down. She was 444 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: trying to move the conversation forward, and so Twitter attacked 445 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: her as being cold. Yeah, and there's no there's no 446 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: good situation in that time, because no matter what you say, 447 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:46,360 Speaker 1: it's not caring enough. It's not you know, people are 448 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: so sensitive about that. I'll give you a great example, Dan, 449 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: you'll appreciate this. So I had mapped the show out 450 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 1: the other night when this happened, you know, and these 451 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: are radio problems. Who the funk cares? But the way 452 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: I you the show, I tossed a bunch of stuff out. 453 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: I try to come up with ideas. I'm spitballing different 454 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: things I might want to talk about for that night, 455 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,919 Speaker 1: and you're you're just jotting down some notes on what 456 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 1: you want to talk about. And so some nights it 457 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: goes by really quick. Other nights it takes forever and 458 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: there's just nothing really that you seem all that interested in. 459 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: On this night, it was like, there's a lot of 460 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: stuff that I really wanted to talk about. I was like, 461 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: it was exciting. And then I'll do an hour on 462 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: the NFL game, and I got these other stories I 463 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: want to I want to rant about let it rip. 464 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 1: And then I'm watching the Bengals and the Bills game 465 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: and living happily ever after there and boom, this this 466 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: play happens and then I knew at that moment. Once 467 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: I saw the guy stand up and it was like 468 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 1: he fell over, I said, well, that's it. We're gonna 469 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,120 Speaker 1: be four hours on that. That's the story. Don't don't 470 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: bury the lead, my man, and and so I shifted. 471 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: But we're doing the show, and we're doing serious you know, 472 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 1: we're doing updates throughout the overnight on what happened in Buffalo. 473 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: If you're listening and p pull are getting piste off 474 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: at me, Danny, They're like, what the funk are you doing? 475 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 1: We tune in for the jokes, we tune in for 476 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: the laughs. You're you're not supposed to be the serious guy. 477 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: What's wrong? I'm getting these messages right, And I'm like, 478 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: wait a minute here, because I've done a few of 479 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: these shows over the years, and sad stuff happens and 480 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 1: things that are depressing and and so you know, so 481 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 1: far as we're talking here, and nobody died in this incident, 482 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: but somebody in the past has died. We've been on 483 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: the air after accidents, and I was on after the 484 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant helicopter crash, for example, which was a devastating thing. 485 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: And you can't accommodate everyone, but you try to do 486 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 1: it professionally as a broadcaster, and people are ripping me. 487 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,719 Speaker 1: So here's the payoff on the story. So people are 488 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: busting my balls. So I for one minute roughly on 489 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: the broadcast, I told that.

I am absolutely 503 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: on the side with with Ben. The re gift, which 504 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: was said to be a couple's gift was an espresso 505 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: machine and clearly for his wife. That's right, Angelie, and 506 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: should have been given to her. She says.

Angelina says, 513 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: I I don't know why the people who gave the 514 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: gifts said it was a couple's gift, especially if they 515 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: knew that Ben did not drink coffee.

My 541 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 1: favorite positions to play we're tight end, fullback, offense, outside 542 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: linebacker and strong safety. Never cared for the glory positions 543 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 1: like quarterback or wide receiver. What was your favorite position 544 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: to play and or you wanted to play well, Yeah, 545 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: I wanted to play tight end. I played offensive line. 546 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: I played nose guards. I loved the things I love most. 547 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: I was the fat guy on the team. I loved 548 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: being on the goal line defense on what right in 549 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: the middle, when your jobs to clog up the middle. 550 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,479 Speaker 1: I always thought that was fun. And I loved on 551 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: on offenses, the bell rings there. I loved on offense 552 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: when they would run behind you and you were the 553 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: tackle and when and it happened a lot when I 554 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: was a freshman. I went downhill after that. But if 555 00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: my freshman year, I would open up a whole because 556 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: I was so much bigger than these little small kids 557 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 1: on the defense, and I would block somebody and then 558 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: I turned around and I'd see the running back, this 559 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: guy Scott Seal, and he would run straight through and 560 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: there's nothing but daylight between him and the end zone. 561 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: That's like the greatest feeling when you're playing on the 562 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: offensive line. What about you, Danny, I was definitely a 563 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 1: bowling ball of a running back. Low center of gravity, 564 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: big thick legs, not very tall, but definitely tough and 565 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 1: could take a hit like Josh Jacobs. Early on, when 566 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: we were playing street football at Brown Elementary School, we 567 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: would get into some drag out tackle football street games 568 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 1: with kids in the neighborhood and I would love it. Man. 569 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: When we would line up and we would have seven 570 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: kids on one side, seven on the other, and my 571 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: older brother played quarterback. He would hand me the ball 572 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: and I would get that little opening that like you said, 573 00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 1: you see the daylight and when you step through that 574 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: east you catch some elbows, but you gotta keep your 575 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 1: balance and I would run straight into the end zone 576 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: that we had some old baseball gloves set up sixty 577 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 1: yards down the field on one side and the other 578 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 1: as the end zones. And dude, that was the best 579 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: feeling though, breaking away on a long run. Yeah, for sure, 580 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: for sure. It's that's I didn't. I wasn't the one running, 581 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: which is probably better, but watching it seeing it all 582 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: unfold as you're you make the as an alignment, you 583 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: make the block, and then you see everything. It was 584 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: just it was awesome, awesome at the time. All right, 585 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: we got time for one more here, Danny on the 586 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: mail bag.
