I was. I was 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:20.520 slightly tongue in cheeks, slightly not but I was like, hey, 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.560 you know you've got older parents or grandparents and they 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:27.119 got a smartphone, just subscribe to the podcast on their phone. 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:29.679 They won't know and they'll automatically download and all that. 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.760 And so, uh, some people said they did that. A 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:34.400 few people have over the years, and we I got 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:35.959 an email from a guy that said he did that. 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:38.720 So that was that was pretty cool. But we are 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:41.800 here eight days a week, four hours a night on 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:44.840 the overnight not enough.

We learned that 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:07.320 yesterday very dramatically. David gag On David gascon excuse me 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:16.440 that I'm sid about that, but I'd like to let 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:19.120 you know that for someone who doesn't give a crap 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:23.240 about overpaid athletes millionaires, they can boycott for the next 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.560 year as well. Uh, just don't give a funk about football, please, 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:30.320 that's uh, that's accord to one of your many listeners 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:34.960 that's responding to your your shots fired over over last 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:39.280 couple couple of days with Twitter and the U NHL, 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:43.280 NBA boycott. Are you quoting now people? Are you shadow 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:45.960 quoting people in the mall of militia that are speaking here? 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:50.040 Oh no, I just uh, you're you're sitting off certain tweets, 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.440 and I know exactly what's gonna happen. So it just 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:57.600 turned out, Yeah, it just turns into volt I said 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:02.680 before hockey shut her down because they had to capitulate. 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.640 But but before I was like, wow, I found athletes 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.720 that actually showed up to work and I was watching hockey, 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.280 and of course, so that was that was a sign 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:15.840 for the angry mob, the ANTIFA crowd to get very upset, 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:17.760 and they were. They were annoyed by that, which was 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:21.639 pretty pretty amusing. You're you're a real piece of ship. 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.320 And to think I used to like your show, got 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:29.560 another white tone death, middle aged man. I I do, 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:33.440 I do appreciate, and I don't. I hope this continues 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.560 because it is a badge of honor um and and 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:38.680 you know, if you've been in the radio business, and 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.040 I've talked to my friends around the country that do this, 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:45.240 we all laugh at you. Um, I used to listen 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.800 to your show, but you have an opinion I don't like, 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:51.240 and I cannot listen to it anymore. Or you not. 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:53.480 Even if I haven't open, you might have an opinion 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.200 I don't like, and I just can't listen. I I 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.040 only I am part of this tribe, and I only 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.600 want to listen to people from my tribe. I do 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:03.680 not want to listen to anyone. I was talking an 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.240 old time guy this week that I worked with years ago, 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.280 and he was like, it is amazing. He said, in 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:14.240 my life, Ben, when we started out, we were badly 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.720 walking in the streets because we didn't want segregation. And 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:22.200 now it seems like people want segregation. It's it's unbelievable. 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.039 It is unbelievable. If you have a different opinion, we 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.719 want to segregate away from you. It is uh, it 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.760 is FASCINATY did you back in the day Did you 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:35.200 work at all with stephen A. Smith? I knew Stephen 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:37.160 A when he was a writer at the Philadelphia Inquire 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.080 and in his early days on Fox Sports Radio. I 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.800 have some great stephen A. Smith stories. Yes, stephen A 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.960 back in the back in the day, Man he was 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.160 before he became a big rock star at ESPN, because 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:52.400 he he actually worked at Fox Sports Radio twice. He 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:55.400 was in Philadelphia the Inquirer and he was starting out 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:59.159 in radio. They gave my weekend show on Saturday, I 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.719 believe was just Saturda Today your Sunday with John Ireland. 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.279 Stephen A and John Ireland did a radio show. John 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:06.720 Islands the voice of the Lakers now and they did 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:08.960 a show together Fox Sports Radio and John kind of, 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:10.720 you know, taught him a little bit of radio and 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.880 all that stuff. And then next thing I know, he 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.719 like blows up at ESPN and then he got whacked 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:18.720 from the ESPN stephen A and then came to Fox 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.520 Sports Radio and was our morning guy, which no one 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.000 seems to remember, but he was the morning guy for 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:26.480 like a year or two. So yeah, And the reason 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:28.919 why I bring that up is because you had mentioned 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.840 with just dialogue and listening, but one of our our 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:35.120 buddies here, Gavin, was telling me that he listens to 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:39.120 the Patriot Channel on Serious XM. And you gotta imagine 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:40.800 just with the name in itself, what you're getting in 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:44.159 terms of audience and listeners and whatnot. But uh, but 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.600 he says, stephen A actually calls into that show to 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.839 talk and I have dialogue on that show. I'm like, well, 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:51.560 you know, he's like one of the rare dudes that 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:55.240 actually he talks, but he listens as much as he speaks, 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.960 you know, like he actually has a he could walk 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:00.280 down a two way street. It's not just like his 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:03.839 vision or one way, it's it's both ways down the aisle. 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:08.360 So yeah, I think that's a lost you know. I 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:12.560 also I found fascinating, like my position on this activism 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.679 is and I have friends of mine that I can't 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.080 watch sports ben I'm not, and they really aren't like 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:23.120 I I've text people. I remember when the Lakers lost 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:26.720 to the Blazers in that first game. So I'm going around, 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:28.760 you know, I'm being a total troll. I'm I don't 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.880 do this on Twitter, but I'm texting my my friends 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.680 who are a Laker apologists busting their balls, right, because 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:36.680 that's what men do, We bust each other's ball. So 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.440 and I'm getting I had two or three people roll back, 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:42.200 I'm not watching. I stopped watching. They put the slogans 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.080 on the uniforms of the court. I'm out. I don't 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:45.839 need to be you know, preached to when I'm watching 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:48.680 my my sports and so I was like, I was 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.320 kind of a buzz kill man, But but I did. 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:55.400 I did appreciate the fact that, um my position on 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.400 that and it's been I'll talk about things related to 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:00.680 the game and the sport itself, but I'm not I'm 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.680 not going to promote your activism. I'm not gonna give 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.400 you a megaphone, you know, because that's not what I'm 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:08.520 interested and that's not what people that tune into sports 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:12.080 radio are interested in. And people get upset by that 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:16.480 that I'm not promoting the anarchy and the activism that 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.760 the leagues are in bed with. People getting upset by that. 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:24.240 What's the logic behind getting upset with that? Oh, you're not, 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:27.040 You're you're part of the problem, Ben, You're you're supposed 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:29.080 to help get this message out, you know, like like 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:32.640 supposed to just whatever they say, we're supposed to repeat. Yes, 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:36.680 what's a little saying it's better to be it's better 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:38.640 to be well done than well said, Like I mean, 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.400 how many people out there actually doing ship locally in 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:46.200 their community to make it a better place. Well, that's right. Politics, 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:48.560 everyone's worried about Donald Trump. But politics is at the 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.920 local level. That's where it actually affects your life. But 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:55.280 anything you can blame potus for, you're gonna blame potus for. 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:58.840 And that's just the way. You gotta have a phone. Guy, 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:02.480 guess you're gonna have a foe. Guy, I guess, I guess. 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.440 I am you know, in the NFL seasons right around 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.680 the corner for us. But man, I I am, I 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:13.440 am curious to see what's gonna happen in November. Yeah, yeah, 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.000 well listen the the NFL. Wait till they start, you know, 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.840 missing NFL games and all that. Oh man, that'll that'll 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:21.679 be a big moment. I don't think that's gonna happen. 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.080 Oh I think you will. I think fifty three man 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:28.320 roster plus you get your practice players. I mean at 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:31.240 some point, because there's this stuff every you know, it's scattershot. 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.320 Every once in a while, there's and there's a country 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:37.160 of three eight million people, there's you know, hundreds of 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:41.520 thousands of police officers across the country, and there will 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:44.520 be situations where people flee from the police and end 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:48.240 up getting shot. Uh, And then the same thing will happen. 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:50.800 So it'll be recorded on video and then we'll get 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:52.680 on the internet and people will freak out and lose 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:54.520 their mind and it's not fair and all this stuff, 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.079 and we'll have the same thing happen again. It's guarantee, 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:02.000 there's no way around it. The math on that, guest Gun. Um. 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:04.560 But here's the thing about the whole the police thing. 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:07.040 I support the cops and all that, but if you 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:09.679 really hate the police, isn't the way to avoid the 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.280 police not break the law. Wouldn't that be a way 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.280 to avoid the police interaction? Or is that outraged? That 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:18.240 an outrageous position, guest Gun, No, it's not outrageous. But 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.040 then someone can make a counterpoint to Okay, well, if 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:24.360 they do come there are certain standards and protocols that 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.000 they should adhere to you as opposed to go into 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.280 uh to a violent crime and then you feel people 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:35.839 feel like, you know, it's uh brutality. So that's the kicker, right, 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:37.960 But I know I'm afraid that every time that we 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:44.200 have an issue with well an officer involved, if if 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:47.760 it meets black versus white, or white versus black, then 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:52.800 automatically it's a race issue. Yeah, that's the problem I 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:57.240 have and you know, like I go back to to 0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:00.839 Jacob Blake a few days ago. You know, I mean, 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:04.080 all of a sudden because it was a black suspect 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:06.440 and a white officer. Now it makes it a raise 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:09.120 this sue. Yeah, but what if it was the roles 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:11.560 were reversed and it was white and black, or what 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:15.800 if it was Hispanic and black or Asian and black. Yeah, 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.120 I mean, it's obviously an agenda, and that's the agenda. 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.480 And you know, these people, many of them were exposed 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:25.640 when you had that anti semite to Sean Jackson who 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:29.160 plays for the Philadelphi Egos, anti Semitic football player, and 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:32.520 it was just outrageous things that he was putting on there. 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:36.360 And all these wokesters that were condemning Drew Brees because 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.360 he said you should stand for the flag, not a 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.760 single word. Uh you know, Lebron, I guess he was 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:45.440 cuddling with the Chinese Communist leaders over there because he 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:47.600 didn't have anything to say on that. And all all 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.400 the jocks saw, the athletes that have all the hot 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:53.320 takes when it comes to these issues, they suddenly had 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:55.640 nothing to say when it came to an anti semite, 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.439 because that's that doesn't fit the narrative, so they didn't 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:00.520 talk about it. That's the worst part about this, I 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:02.760 think is that is that what we're gonna do, though, 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:06.600 as as a sports culture and society, is every time 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:11.440 that there is a a dispute and an officer involved incident, 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.480 is that we're gonna just we're gonna drop everything we're 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:18.880 doing and and either boycott an event or boycott work 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.240 or make a stand without Well, it was a lot 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:24.680 of the athletes. I here's the thing. When I was 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.120 around sports a lot, and the athletes were not political. 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.440 They weren't well, I didn't give a funk about politics 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.520 when I was back when I was in locker rooms 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:34.240 and all this stuff. I feel like, think like they've 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:36.600 been I don't know, I don't know hijacks the right word. 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:40.600 But they being used as ponds, you know what I'm saying, Like, like, 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:42.560 I don't I don't think these guys really give a 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.680 crap about politics, but they're being influenced by people to 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:49.000 have strong political opinions. Yeah, I'll see there it goes. 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:50.600 I think it goes two fold, is that they could 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:55.240 be used as ponds, but it's also profitable. I have 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:57.080 some but you know, that's what you're talking about. The 0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:00.360 top line guy like Lebron that's his Colin Corporative. It is, 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:04.920 what's that Colin Kaepernick? Yeah, I guess he's making I 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:06.600 don't know, is how's he making his money? Are they 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.480 people sending him checks because he, you know, sucked at 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:11.520 playing football and now he's out of the NFL? Or 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.079 is that the Nike contract? Oh yeah, you get the 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.760 Nike endorsement. That's true. But I'm talking about the rank 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:20.120 and file, like the ranking file. You my, that's just 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.680 in general, right in life, whether you're an athlete or not. 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:27.280 Young people don't give a flying you know what about politics. Normally. 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:29.200 That's something that happens when you get a little older, 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.400 you start caring about Yeah exactly, you start caring about 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:35.240 politics and that stuff. As you age, the older you get, 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:37.839 the more you care about politics. And I don't believe 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:42.480 that's changed. I don't think that's changed at all. So anyway, 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.800 all right on this. By the way, Cameo Cameo cameo 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:49.800 dot com would love, would love to do a video 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.439 for you if you're interested in that. Pick Brigade Deer General, 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:54.240 the malle Militia or if you're just a super fan, 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:58.520 what are the heat and silent super fans on? On cameo? 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.160 You can do that. And I've done all kinds of 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:05.120 different things, birthdays, pep talks. I even had a Laker 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:10.880 historian who dared, who dared me to give my three 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:14.800 favorite Lakers and my favorite Laker team of all time 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.480 and and all that, and I did it. I did 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.960 it for him on cameo. So if you would like something, 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:23.360 if I don't talk about your team or your favorite player, 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:25.840 and you would like a minimala monologue on something like that, 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:29.480 I will do that for you personalized on cameo dot com. 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:31.400 I don't know if I heard a white lie about 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.800 all this cameo stuff, But is it true that today 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.800 or tomorrow over the weekend, is you're actually going to 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.880 put a certain frozen burnt piece of meat on a 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:46.120 barbecue and decided to Yeah, I just want to point 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:50.000 out that my microphone is better than your microphone, which 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:53.560 is which is great, and so just keep talking because 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.520 it makes me sound better and I like that it does. 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:59.800 And you you know you ripped me. This is all homemade, 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.360 you know, mom and pop Studio that I'm no, no, 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:04.680 this is all paid for by I Heeart Media and 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:06.960 w E I that no, no, no, no, no no, 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:10.199 this was built all this stuff. I scanned the interweb. 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.520 I went on radio websites to buy. I have my 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:17.800 mixer here, I have my voice processor. I've got my 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:21.000 euro rack. I've got all this equipment in here. And 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:23.280 you also get your You also get your ring light too. 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:26.720 Uh yeah, I have a light with your boy. Let 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:29.120 me tell you. When I did the YouTube videos in 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:33.200 the studio, they sucked compared to the quality here. So 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:34.840 I think I might just have to stay here at 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:38.280 the home. No, no, because the videos are much better here. Yeah, 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.440 you know, the company wants quality videos. I will have 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:44.520 to continue doing this from the Mallard mansion. I have 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:48.200 something to report on that too, because um, all my 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:53.000 toys have come via mail and uh, the the operation 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:55.280 is is looking to be at full capacity in the 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:58.600 next couple of days, so we get to test dress 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:01.200 some stuff out. So I think, and I don't know 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:04.040 how you feel about this, because how do I feel? 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:06.880 How do you feel? How do you feel about venturing 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:10.440 off into the wild, wild world of like twitch and 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:15.600 YouTube on on a regular basis? Yeah, I'd be be 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:18.200 open to it. I mean, do you get many listeners 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:22.120 though on Twitch? I don't know. I think Tony Brunos 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.320 on there is it Tony do a show on Twitch? 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:27.360 I think we should have asked him. I don't know. 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:29.240 I'm not a Twitch guy. I don't really know how 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:32.800 that all operates all that stuff. So I guess we'll 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:37.800 find out if we do something on on Twitch. And uh, yeah, 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:40.080 is this a money making venture guest gun? Or is 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:42.800 this just a yes for the amount of money and 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:46.240 time that was spent er has been spent. Yes? It better? 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:48.800 Here we go, Here we go. Well, I think you'd 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:50.880 agree with me that if you're gonna invest some time, 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:52.240 you can get something out of it. Right. Well, if 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.200 I'm doing Twitch, though, the one I need a new 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:56.320 background off to go, I have to buy a new 0:15:56.360 --> 0:16:00.640 banner to decorate the studio. Here great that with a 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.440 different banner. How much does that cost? I got a 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:07.920 green screen h for a D five bucks. It was 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:10.440 like an eight two in green screen. But it's nice. 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:14.880 It's like pretty long too. How much was it? And 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:18.040 so how does this work? I I've used a green 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:20.040 screen wack. You know, I did a pilot. I should 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:22.080 talk about this sometime. I did a pilot for Fox 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:25.600 Sports years ago, television and we I sat in the 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.240 room and it was a green screen. Maybe next week 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:31.040 we'll tell that. That's a good story. Actually, you just 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:33.000 brought it up. Why don't you break it up right now? Then? 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.640 I'm not gonna I don't want to tell the full story. 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:37.680 I don't want I don't want to tell the full 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:39.440 story right now. I'm not prepared. But but anyway, I 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:41.480 sat by the green So how does this work? If 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:43.360 you sit behind the green screen and then you know, 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:46.240 you sit in front. You're sit in front the green screen? Yeah, yeah, whatever, 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:48.400 that's funny, mane. She's sit in front of the green 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:50.360 screen and then you click a button. It makes it 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:52.360 look like you're somewhere else. Is that? Yeah, there's a 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:55.600 chroma key that's that's put into the software that you utilize, 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:59.200 and it will either in bed an image that you 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.320 have at stored on your hard drive or something that 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:06.640 they have in stock. Now does this look good? It does? Sure? 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:10.119 This doesn't look cheeseball? No, no, no, no no, So what 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:11.840 can we make it look like? Can we make it 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:16.200 look like I'm in an exotic you know, big city somewhere. Yeah, anything, 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:23.679 you send me that information, maybe I will invest green screen. 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:26.360 Can you send me screenshots at what it looks like too? Yeah? Yeah, 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:28.200 I actually this is I feel like it's a private 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:31.400 conversation that we're having on the podcast, right people are 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.040 people are interested in this stuff? I think for the 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:34.560 most part, aren't they? I don't know that they are. 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:37.040 I don't know about that. You don't think. Yeah, I 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:39.960 got I got the green screen. In fact, i'll send 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:41.640 you a picture of it right now, and it looks nice. 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:44.280 But I got the green screen probably like two weeks ago, 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:47.960 and I turned the lights out in my room, but 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:49.639 there's a little bit of sun that came in and 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:52.600 so I could see some fine holes in it. So 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:54.399 I had to send it back. I was just like, man, like, 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:55.960 you know, I don't know if the chroma key is 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:59.280 gonna make it look bad on the on the on 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:01.639 the image, so it just had a precaution. I had 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:03.840 to send it on back. But yeah, like that sucker 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:08.080 was it's nice. It's it's it's like sixty I think 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:11.520 it's six six ft wide and then seventy eight inches 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:16.359 or two inches. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, that looks like 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:19.720 it would work work for me. I guess see how 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:22.160 it looks. So you need special software in your computer 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:24.320 and all that for this to click in on your camera. 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:26.920 How's that? I'm looking at a couple of different things. 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:29.359 Once free a charge, and another one is a a 0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:33.119 paid service. But the paid service is cool because it 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:36.040 allows you to have graphics. It allows you it actually 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:39.159 allows you to embed comments. So if we have people 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:42.080 that are on Twitch or Facebook and they want to interact, 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:46.639 I can embed their stuff. Um, and then yeah, I 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:48.920 can make it really I can make it really nice. 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:52.600 That's interesting. Yeah, that we could have some fun with that, 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:55.119 Like every week we could be in a different like 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:57.600 a different location. I was thinking of doing that for 0:18:57.680 --> 0:18:59.280 like Benny versus the Penny. It's like if you had 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:01.239 a Marquee game game as we go, because I know, 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:05.160 before you cap the game, you're always talking about the broadcasters, 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:08.600 the weather, and the stadium. As I want we park 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:11.640 ourselves in front the dog pound, like the dog food 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:15.080 at our feet. Yeah, you can have some fun. Every 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:17.600 week we could be in a different location. Since we 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:21.080 can't have people vote on where in one week we're in, uh, 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:23.280 you know, just pick we're in your Boygan. You know 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:26.280 the next week that you're gonna make sure that you 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:28.520 remove the hats though, because people would tend to get 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:30.879 triggered by the hats that you wear for some odd reason. 0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:34.680 But oh yeah, as I say yes, John again, you know, 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:36.320 I went to check the mail. People have been saying 0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:38.280 I'm gonna send you a Minnesota golfer set because I 0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:40.160 don't like that you wear an Iowa hawk. I had 0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:43.720 yet to get the Minnesota Gopher's hat um and I've 0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:46.960 had other people complete I am I'm pretty much open 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:49.400 to you know, as far as colleges I don't have. 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:52.680 I'm a saddleback guy, so anything else is fair game. 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:56.120 On that I'm I'm down with it. But uh yeah, 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:58.040 I'm not. You know, if you can, you're bishing because 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:00.399 I wear Iowa Hawkeye had every one song. I mean, 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:02.800 let's deal with it. But you might need to do 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:07.440 something for the gray though. You got the gray is wow, 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:10.440 it is like solid macis. That makes me seem when 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:13.600 you combine the glasses with the gray and I have 0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:16.800 the gray hair from doing this podcast with you, that's 0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:19.600 a that's a good look man. People think that guy 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:22.480 has knowledge and wisdom. You're like gray there, you're like 0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:24.919 a character from Lord of the Rings, Like all you 0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:27.840 need is the staff because you just got the gray beard. 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:31.160 That's like whiteness. It's like a white like snow. Yeah. 0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:33.280 Well you're just jealous because you can't grow a beard. 0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:37.119 That's the pop billy. You don't have the testasterone that 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:42.600 I have, the very masculine beard, masculinity gascon. Alright, so 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:45.399 on this podcast, now that we have bloviated and wasted 0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:51.800 about half of the podcast, We've got Popeye the Sailor Man. 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:55.199
