You got a good amount, So let's 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.600 get right to it. Strike up my man, o hi 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:21.440 o Wow. It's first up on the mail bag. We 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:27.760 go to Kevin in Kansas, a big supporter of this podcast. 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:31.800 Kevin says, Dear Ben and Danny Gee in western Kansas, 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:36.720 we are no stranger to weird, wacky winter weather. With 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:41.600 your recent bout of winter weather there, it doesn't usually happen. 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.600 I've been eager to hear both of your takes on 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.959 how things went. Did people rush to buy bread and milk? 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:52.880 Did people drive more crazily? How has work? How was 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:56.160 work impacted? Inquiring minds would like to know, thank you. 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:58.320 That's from Kevin. Well, you told a great story yesterday 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.280 about your your your dad Danny, right and then the nonsense. 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:04.720 And he's a little north of where we are. Yeah, 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:08.200 but yeah, people drive crazy. There's a lot of people. 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:09.880 There's a lot of people that slow down, but there's 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:11.919 always that one asshole that still thinks he's on the 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:16.720 Autobahn and and doesn't mind the snow and just drives crazy. 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:20.639 I haven't noticed people around where I am rushing to 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:23.560 buy supplies. I guess out in the mountain communities where 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:27.440 they really got hit though it's nasty, like in Big Bear, 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:31.200 which is a big mountain snow resort in the in 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:34.560 the LA area, they got it really bad and like 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.640 people were stuck up there also for a long time 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:44.960 with no supplies. So did you notice anything, Danny specifically 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.280 to answer Kevin's question, No, I guess if we would 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.960 have had our power out. Our power flickered a few 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.640 times when the rain was coming down really bad, when 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.920 it was hailing outside, and at that point my wife 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:02.119 you said, oh, maybe we should go get some supplies. Yeah, 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:05.000 which I think is a little too late. When it 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.760 starts to flicker. I'm not an expert. But I think 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:11.040 once it starts to flicker, that's usually not a good sign. 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:15.000 That's usually not something's going well there. But what do 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.440 I know? Well, I know all right, Thank you Kevin. 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:22.240 We have Ozzy Wise from Western Australia. Next up on 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.880 the mailback. He says, Hey, my mates Benny and Benny 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:28.520 the Bopper and Daddy G Radio straight to the point 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:32.080 this week, I am doing service on my car this 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:36.000 week when the gear finally arrives, as it will be 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.640 less than half price to do it myself than to 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.400 take it to the mechanic. Have either of you thought 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:47.839 about doing it yourself to save costs or as you 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:51.039 both have newish cars, do you have to take it 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:55.360 to a certified mechanic? Looking at you, Ben, and it's 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:59.360 a lot simpler than people think. And he says also, 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:04.120 let's have a roll call on daddy nicknames. So Ozzy 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.920 was how many nicknames do you have? Daddy G? Daddy? 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:12.400 We know the daddy G, Dandy G, Danny Garrettelli, the 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:18.080 microphone throttler, oh, the microphone throwther Le's correct. So to answer, 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:24.640 ozzywas question in my head? I fix everything via YouTube. 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:27.479 I go on and you know, you go on YouTube 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.440 and within three and a half five minutes, any problem 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:34.359 is fixed. But I recall when I was getting the 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:38.599 new mallarable bile the guy at the dealership, and maybe 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.160 he was full of shit, and we have people that 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:42.960 work in the car business that can help us out, 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.040 but this guy was. He was telling us. He's like, well, 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.360 you know, need to get the warranty because the way 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:50.680 they designed these new cars, with all the technology, it's 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:54.960 very tough for someone who's not a trained, certified mechanic 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:59.920 to actually fix these cars. And they do that intentionally. 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:03.000 It's great for the car business because this stuff doesn't 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:08.280 last that long because it's technology and you have to 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:11.800 use one of their mechanics to fix the stuff. And 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:13.800 I looked at that, and then I got in the 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:15.920 car and I looked at all the cameras that pop 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.000 up when you turn right or turn left, and I 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:19.440 looked at this, that and the other thing. I said, 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:22.520 you know what, that's probably right, Like it's one thing 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:26.320 to fix a nineteen fifty seven Chevy or something along 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:30.320 those lines, but these new cars. Danny, Yeah, I don't 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.000 know how on a YouTube video you can figure out 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:36.000 like what connects to the camera, which goes to the battery. 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.080 But you've got to have a certain chip to make 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:43.080 it all work. But I've thought about doing it. But 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.840 what about you, Danny. Now you have to worry about 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:49.200 the electronics nowadays just as much as the actual motor. 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:53.640 And to your point, when you go nowadays to Costco 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.520 or best Buy a place like that, and you buy 0:06:56.560 --> 0:07:00.800 a seventy inch television, well they don't may come the 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.640 way they used to. That's why you can get a 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.520 TV now. Remember those TVs when they first came out, 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.080 how much were they thousands of dollars? For sure? They 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:13.040 were saying, yeah, now they're hundreds of dollars, but they're flimsier. 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:15.800 And I remember the guy at best Buy telling me, hey, 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:20.520 with electronics nowadays, everything's cheaper, but make sure you get 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:24.160 the warranty. Imagine those selling a product and saying, well, 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.120 as we understand it, you should enjoy the product, but 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:29.559 it's not gonna last you got it. And I always 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:33.480 thought that was just bullshit. And when they try to 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:37.320 sell you the warranty or the extended care package, I've 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.600 I've always been of the mind that's just the way 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.960 they make a lot of money because most people don't 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:47.680 actually use those warranties. It's kind of like, I read 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:50.840 a book about infomercials because I'm a loser, and I 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.320 used to love late night infomercials when I was growing up, 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:58.560 and they talked about the lifetime warranty that a lot 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.280 of these products would would put on. You'd watch a 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:03.640 late night infomercial. It's like, you don't buy this workout 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.760 equipment lifetime warranty, if anything breaks, send it back. We'll 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:08.840 send you another one. And they said the reason they 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.280 did that is because they looked at the percentage of 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:16.040 people that would be more willing to buy because they thought, well, 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:18.880 this is pretty cool. I'm getting a lifetime warranty and 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:20.880 if anything breaks, I'll send it back. And then they 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.480 looked at the percentage of people that would actually keep 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:27.240 the receipt, keep all the paperwork that you need to 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:31.040 have to actually get the warranty to use to be used, 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.320 and people just they aren't. They don't do it. They're 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.280 not motivated to follow through with all that. So it's 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.280 great because you sell more products. Number one, and number two, 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:43.079 you almost never you almost never have to actually use 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:45.840 the warranty when you have a lifetime warranty because they 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:49.400 always put like small print that minute should nanny where 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.400 they're like, Okay, you can use the warranty, but you 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:52.920 have to keep the receipt and every time you get 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:54.400 work done on the product, you have to have a 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:56.400 receipt of that. And if you don't have all of 0:08:56.440 --> 0:09:01.760 the above, you're fucked. Get out of here. Like how 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:05.720 a lot of cars use the flimsy Uh what is it? 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:09.199 It's almost like it's like a yeah, you push them in, 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:11.560 you know, what's that musical? That's the what am I 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:13.440 thinking of the music instrument? You know? Or you go 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.840 like accordion? Accordion? Yes, the cars are like accordions and 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:19.920 yeah and that that Yeah, that pisses me off too 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:21.600 because you get an a fender bender, it's like, oh, 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:25.000 that's a well, you can't really see the damage. But underneath, 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.960 how do we five thousand dollars We're gonna have to 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:32.480 replace that entire panel? Yeah, where you're going to need 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:37.720 every piece of currency, every coin you've ever made in 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:42.199 your life. Uh, and you must secure a bag just 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.360 to pay for the repairs. That's it, as Marshawn Lynch 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:50.160 said years ago. Uh, take take care of y'all chicken. Right. 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:56.800 That's uh, that's it. Wow. Anyway, thank you, thank you, 0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:03.640 Ozzy Wise. Barry in nash Vegas writes in says yo 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:06.840 yo mob Benny, and Danny Gee says Ben, So you 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:11.600 bought a new to you car? Is this a color 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:16.240 that Steve Harvey would marvel over? Well? As you know? 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:18.679 And Barry of course referencing for those that are new 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:22.200 to the podcast, the Great Steve Harvey, the modern day entertainer, 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:26.280 the greatest entertainer of our lives right now. Steve Harvey 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:31.800 man can host award shows, can host game shows, radio programs. 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:33.719 He does it all. He's a one man band, a 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:38.040 great Steve Harvey. And he briefly worked at the iHeart 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:41.240 Building in LA and he was doing his morning show 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.520 when I was getting off the air. And so for 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:47.720 a couple of months, Steve Harvey, television and Radio's most 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.440 famous man, would park in our building and walk in 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:53.760 in a jumpsuit with a security guard armed with a 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:57.240 gun and would walk in and do his show and 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.600 all that stuff. And at one point I was walking out, 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.360 he was walking in. It was like ships passing in 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:05.360 the night. A couple of radio legends, well one radio 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.960 legend and some fat guy. And he walked by and 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:12.520 he looked at the Harvey's fat Now, dare you So 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:16.839 he looked at the Malamobile. No, that means you're the legend, dick. No, 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.000 I'm not a legend. So he looked. He looked at 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:22.520 the Malamobile, as I liked it, and he was talking 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:25.880 to his guy with the security guy, And that was 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:29.480 right there. That was the moment that the Malamobile. It 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:31.880 wasn't chump change, it wasn't. I didn't even know he 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.120 was talking about your car, though he was. There was 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.280 no other car. You know, you've been in that parking 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.719 lot at three in the morning. There's no other car 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.360 in that parking lot three thirty in the morning. Maybe 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:44.880 the security guard said, look, they make the losers park 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:48.040 way far away from you, and he said, I like that. No, 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:52.520 he liked the color. Hey liked the blue in the Malamobile. 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:55.760 He loved the bull bullshit. There's no bullshit. I would 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.480 not lie about something involving the great Steve Harvey, the 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:03.520 great entertainer of our time. But no, there's no you know, 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:06.760 there's no color. It's just a generic it's a generic color, 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:11.560 and he says, care to share the name plate of 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:15.200 the car that you purchased? Yeah, I think I'm good 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:20.320 on that. Very Unfortunately, some some certain certain people that 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:24.760 love the show. I think I'll hold off on that 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:28.040 because they sometimes kind of mess around with my business. 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:31.320 You know what I'm saying. Danny occasionally car panel with 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:34.640 a key I'm your number one fan. Yeah, yeah, I 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:37.640 think I'm okay. I think I think I'm all right 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:39.600 on that. But I appreciate it, and I wish it 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:44.960 wasn't like that. But I've created a good little cultivated here. 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.679 We both have cultivated a good little following, and a 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.240 certain percentage of those people take things a little bit 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:55.160 too far. Next up, Kyrie in Okac writes in he says, 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:59.640 dearest Ben and Danny, g how's it going. My real 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:03.240 question is about logos. I would love for you to 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:07.840 have your own official Ben mallor logo or mallor militia 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:12.480 to put on merchandise or tattoos. How about that, Danny? Yeah, 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:16.120 I think it's some tattoos here, that's next level. I 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.880 remember the day there was this guy called Main Main 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:22.199 Event mister. You know, he's mister the main event was 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:23.960 the guy's name. I think he was called that, and 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.439 he called Fox Sports Radio for years. He passed away 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:29.960 a few years ago. He loved Tony Bruno. He got 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:34.720 a Tony Bruno tattoo and I thought, Wow, that's wild man, 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:38.240 That's like the next level. I'm still blown away by that. 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:42.320 He liked tattoos, so tattoos. But that means the coroner 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:48.680 was like, who the hell is Tony Bruno? Yeah, because 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:52.280 they had to write down all the tattoos anyway, um, 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:57.560 he says. The other real question is what are you guys? 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:00.439 What are your guys favorite logos and all of sports 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.680 besides your favorite teams, which is obviously a given obviously 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:07.480 ha ha. As always, you guys are the absolute best 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:11.480 podcast in all of the land. Much love from the 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:16.840 real Kyrie. He don't playing Dallas, He's an okse and 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.600 Kyrie that Oklahoma City Thunder team. I watched some of 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:23.880 that Laker Thunder game the other night. Holy crap, there 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.880 is not one player worth their assault right now for 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:30.400 the Thunder as Shane Gilgas Alexander was out with an injury, 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:35.800 and that is a nameless, faceless group of flotsam and Jetsam. 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:41.440 I love that game. Great job, Okac. Greatest logo though, 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:43.720 I you know, I love and it's part of it's 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:45.480 When I was a kid, I was on this team 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:48.880 in Little League. The Milwaukee Brewers logo with the M 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:52.240 and the B. Love it. The Glove logo, you know, 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:57.640 the glove logo. Love that one. Also, the Montreal Expo's logo. 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:01.080 Same thing. It's got the M and the E in 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:04.640 the logo. I love that. I just love the way 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:06.560 it is. I like some of the old school logos, 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:09.840 the old Toronto Blue Jays. When I was a kid, 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:13.360 I always thought that was kind of cool. Um, China, 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:16.600 these are all baseball. There's a bunch. I love the 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:20.600 old Broncos logo and football. The horse, the original you know, 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:22.560 the one on the helmet and all that. I thought 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:24.800 that was cool. You don't because you're a Raider fan. 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:30.120 Um yeah, I mean there's there's a few few others. 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:33.160 I get a kick out of a LEPrecon, the Celtics LEPrecon. 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.320 I think that's just kind of hockey. A guy a 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:38.280 LEPrecon with a basketball and like a cigar or not 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:41.840 a cigar, a pipe. I think that's that's pretty funny. 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:44.280 What about you, Danny, anything pop up here? Any logos 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.320 that you Oh? Yeah, when I was a teenager, I 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:51.040 had a Georgetown hat where the g was like made 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:53.360 out of felt and was three D It's stuck out 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:55.480 of the hat a little bit. Yeah that was cool. 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:59.680 So I would always rock some Georgetown for the gum 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.760 and followed Patrick Ewing because of that. As a little kid, 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:07.520 Patrick Ewing, the man could work up a sweat just 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:11.520 by thinking about stepping onto the court. Unfortunately, he doesn't 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:19.800 work up a sweat coaching Georgetown right now? Dare you? Um? 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:24.120 You know? Also, my very first baseball glove was a 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:29.080 Joe Morgan signature glove passed down to me by my uncle. Yeah, 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.480 I don't I remember him. I don't even remember him 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.160 with the phillies. I don't. Well, at least that's when 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:39.520 the baseball glove was made because it said Joe Morgan Phillies. Okay, 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:43.680 And I love that powder blue with the with the 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:48.520 maroon red philly. Oh yeah, that is a good looking uniform. Yeah, 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:51.080 those uniforms. Ever since I was a little kid, I 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:55.040 thought those uniforms were nice next to the Raiders uniform 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:57.160 of course, with our Dodger Blue. We're not allowed to 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:00.760 say our favorite teams, but I've always thought those uniforms 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:03.760 were the best in sports. Not a Phillies fan by 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:07.280 any means, but I really like their uniforms. Yeah, the 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:10.960 whole era of powder Blues. The Blue Jays had some 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:14.639 cool I mentioned the Brewers already. The you know, the 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:17.720 Mariner's early logo was pretty cool. They had the trident, 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:21.280 the old Seattle Mary. Yeah, that's right. That was kind 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:24.080 of a cool thing that they they got rid of. 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:26.880 Let's move on. Thank you, Kyrie, though you're the man 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:30.800 I appreciate Kyrie. And Pierre from Springfield Mass writes in 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:34.160 on the mail bag, friend of Alf the alien O Pinter, 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:37.800 who has been shunned by the Great Eddie Judas Garcia. Yeah, 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:42.080 we learned that Eddie Garcia muted Alf the alien O Piner. 0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:45.680 What oh no, that is an act of war, Danny 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:50.439 g That isn't You cannot do that. Listen, Alf the 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:54.840 alien O Piner is a samurai in the Mallard Militia. 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:57.479 You do not mess with a samurai because you end 0:17:57.560 --> 0:17:59.840 up with a sword. You do not do that. That's 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:03.000 a bad job by you. Well, what happened after Eddie 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.760 did that, he broke his toe. That is correct, you think, 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:08.760 guys Karma, I think so yeah. And we learned, and 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:14.280 this is some advanced calculus here little geometry, that the 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:18.440 toe does impact the vocal cords. So I didn't know that. 0:18:18.480 --> 0:18:21.960 I had no idea. I learned that from doctor Eddie Garcia. 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:25.760 This week. I'm a doctrue, Pierre says Ben. We have 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:29.760 all enjoyed your tales of Bella the Wonder Dog, but 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:34.160 have there been any internal discussions at the Maller Mansion 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:39.280 to add another pet to form voltron? Also, does Daddy 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:46.280 g have any pets, so we have discussed getting another dog. 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:50.560 Bella is in the doggy retirement home at this point. 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:54.840 She's still here, but she's at the age now where 0:18:54.880 --> 0:19:00.560 she cannot go downstairs. She can go upstairs, but she 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:04.320 can't go downstairs, which presents a problem because we have 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:08.680 a fair amount of stairs at the Mallard Mansion. So 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:13.920 she's pretty much locked in her retirement home and it's 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:16.640 it's one room. She's got access to the outside, she's 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:20.160 got food, water and all that, but she can't roam freely. 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:24.960 That and the fact that she has no control over 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:28.840 her bowels or urinating, so that's also a problem. But 0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:32.600 we have decided also that Bella we want her to 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:35.560 enjoy the final years of her life, however long she 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:40.720 has left. And so we've determined we're gonna wait and 0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:43.639 then once Bella goes to the kennel in the sky, 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:48.120 and at that point we'll probably get another another dog. 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:51.560 But Danny, any pets for you, Yeah, we have two. 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:55.600 We have Daisy the dog. She has a chalky half Chihuahua, 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:59.920 half Yorky. She's going on six years old. Her brain 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:04.040 is the size of a pee, which means she's a 0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:07.080 really good guard dog because any little noise down by 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:11.080 the front door and she goes berserk, a little door alarm. 0:20:11.760 --> 0:20:14.000 And she could be sweet at times, but she also 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:18.080 can be a snapper dog at night, especially if I 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:22.480 reach too suddenly to touch my significant other. She snaps 0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:26.919 at my hand. She thinks she's a guard dog, a 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:31.120 protector for my wife. Eat get away from me. That's 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:34.639 not annoying at all. That is not at all, but 0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:37.560 I'm used to it now. And at least her teeth 0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:40.760 hurt for a second, but they don't break the skin, 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:47.480 which is good. Then my boy Mac. If you followed 0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:50.120 me on social media, you've probably seen pictures from time 0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:53.080 to time. He is a very cool silver and black 0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:56.520 American short hair and he looks like a panther. He 0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:59.800 is a badass. He's also going on six years old. 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:03.520 And the two of them they do nap next to 0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:06.679 each other. But again at night, if he jumps up 0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:09.119 on the bed, she snaps at him and bites his ass. 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:17.040 Don't do a lost cap magnet pencil. Next, any plans 0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:21.120 to add more pets? Any plan? Well, you're adding a child. Yeah, 0:21:21.119 --> 0:21:23.760 as everybody knows, it's not good timing to add a 0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:26.919 new pet with a new baby. Yeah, probably don't need that. 0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:31.120 Next up, Chris in Maraccaa, Iowa rights, and he says, Ben, 0:21:31.480 --> 0:21:35.680 I just learned of the near fatal Steve Yeager accident 0:21:35.720 --> 0:21:40.320 in nineteen seventy six when a shattered bat shard struck 0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:43.000 him in the neck. I haven't been able to find 0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:45.280 video of it. Do you know where to find it 0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:48.840 or have you heard any stories about it? He says, 0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:54.520 ps Go Raiders and good Ritten's car. So to lead 0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:58.480 off here, Chris, Yes, I have heard about the Steve 0:21:58.560 --> 0:22:02.480 Yeager bat It was before my time. I was a 0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:05.840 little kid when that happened. And the reason I know 0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:09.320 about it is when I covered the Dodgers, and this 0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:13.679 is in the early nineties. Steve Yeager would pop up 0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:15.919 every once in a while and show up for batting 0:22:15.960 --> 0:22:20.119 practice or some kind of an event, and occasionally the 0:22:20.160 --> 0:22:22.879 story would be brought up about you remember what happened 0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:26.080 to Yeager? He almost died and all this crazy, crazy 0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:29.960 stuff back in the nineteen seventies. And I have not 0:22:30.200 --> 0:22:33.399 seen any video. I'm sure there's probably video that exists, 0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:34.880 but I don't know for sure. I mean not every 0:22:34.920 --> 0:22:37.840 game was on television in nineteen seventy six, so it 0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:39.960 is possible there is no video. But this was back 0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:44.600 when Walter Alston was the manager of the Dodgers, and 0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:49.120 the legend is that he got hit Steve Garvey. It 0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:53.679 was Bill Russell was the one that it was his 0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:58.159 bat and Yeager was in the on deck circle and 0:22:58.359 --> 0:23:04.240 Bill Russell, the great Dodger shortstop, He had a grounder 0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:08.359 to third base. The bat broke and flew back and 0:23:09.240 --> 0:23:13.600 Yeager had no chance. The sharp edge impales this guy 0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:16.320 right in the in the side of his neck. He's 0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:20.360 been stabbed with a with a flying knife and everyone 0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:25.920 starts freaking out, and Bill Bueller, the Dodger trainer, has 0:23:25.960 --> 0:23:28.960 been credited with saving the life much like the Buffalo 0:23:29.000 --> 0:23:33.560 Bill's guy that almost died Tomorrow Hamlin. And so the 0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:37.760 Dodger trainer came out and Steve Garvey. The legend is 0:23:37.800 --> 0:23:40.320 he had a towel he covered up the blood for 0:23:40.640 --> 0:23:42.320 because he didn't want the people in stadium to see it. 0:23:42.320 --> 0:23:43.920 And obviously you don't want the guy to bleed to death. 0:23:44.000 --> 0:23:48.120 And anyway, but I have not seen the most important part. 0:23:48.359 --> 0:23:50.840 The Dodgers beat the Padres that day four to one. 0:23:51.359 --> 0:23:53.240 There you go, that's all. Yeah, you go. The Dodgers 0:23:53.240 --> 0:23:58.000 won the game September six, nineteen seventy six. Look at you, 0:23:58.800 --> 0:24:02.520 look at you. So But to answer your question, I've 0:24:02.520 --> 0:24:04.439 not seen video. I hadn't really thought about it, Chris, 0:24:04.560 --> 0:24:06.840 until you brought it up. It is one of those 0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:11.880 stories that's kind of gotten lost. Yeah, time and that happens. 0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:14.960 And a quick Google search doesn't show any video, but 0:24:15.000 --> 0:24:19.840 he shows still photos. Yeah, and am I the only one. 0:24:19.840 --> 0:24:22.280 When I was younger, when I heard the name Steve Yeager, 0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:26.560 I thought of the pilot, you know, the pilot Yeager. 0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:31.120
