The weather's good. 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:04.160 Not a lot of work getting done here, not a 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:06.840 lot of work getting done. But we've got on this 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:11.600 podcast a lot of mail, Danny, a lot of mail. 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:14.200 I was concerned because of the holiday weekend that we 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:17.720 wouldn't have a lot of mail, but fortunately a lot 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:21.759 of mail. Are you ready, Ohio, al are you ready, 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:23.400 Danny for the mail bag. 0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:24.560 No time to spare. 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:43.400 It's okay, thank you, ohiou, and let's jump right into it. 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.119 We'll go into the deep end. These are actual letters 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:49.240 by actual listeners. I used to post on social media 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:52.600 and beg people to send stuff in, but the podcast 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:54.400 is doing so well now I don't need to do 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:55.120 that anymore. 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:55.560 Thank you. 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:57.480 I'm very happy. It's like when I used to do 0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:00.480 the lame jokes thing, when I started doing same jokes 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.120 on the radio show, and I would beg people to 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.880 send the lame jokes in. But now we've cultivated a 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.480 big enough audience of amateur joke writers, I don't need 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.080 to worry about that. And the same thing goes for 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.440 this podcast, and that we have enough new people that 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:18.680 find the podcast because of you spreading the words, spreading 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:23.720 the gospel, that we don't have to post for questions. 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.079 So that's geat really quick. Let me ask you, if 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.560 Lizo is so beautiful, why do women get mad anytime 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:33.040 I tell them that they look like Lizzo. That's a 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:37.520 good point. Shout out, Jeff Die. I thought you were 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.880 going to say lame jokes are on Friday. Yeah no, no, lame. 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:42.600 Jokes are every day. What are you talking about anyway? 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.480 All right, here we go. First one on the mailbag 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:50.600 is Marcus from Bruceville, Eddie, Texas, a regular email contributor. 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:55.960 He says, thanks for taking the question. Great show, as always, gentlemen, 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.520 I always wanted to know how it works behind the scenes. 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:03.520 Whenever guys on Dan Patrick or Colin Cowherd DoD they 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:06.320 just fill in for the radio station or for the 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.240 TV show as well. I remember one Colin Cowherd show, 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.960 Doug and Rob Parker had filled in for Colin and 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:17.040 they were arguing about every single topic. It was absolutely hilarious. 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:21.160 I don't know Rob Parker's Tom Brady is a cheater, take, etc. 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:25.000 So I decided to switch over to the Cowherd TV show, 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.680 expecting to see both of them on there going at it, 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:32.880 and there was somebody in their place on the TV show, 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:34.720 So then I turned back to the radio show and 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:41.040 they continue to argue for the next forty five minutes. So, yeah, 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.320 if you haven't figured out, Marcus, I've done those shows 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.800 over the years, and we are v boating. We are 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:50.720 mere peons, we are mere radio people, Danny, and so 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.600 they do not allow us to get near those TV. 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:58.360 Cameras not allowed. We completely have faces for radio. Yeah. 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.120 Would also like to point out though, and this is 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:03.880 a little bit taboo. That's a third rail. Oh man, 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.360 that's a third rail. But I'm proud of this, my man. 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:09.000 The overall rating's gonna go down a full point on 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:09.720 the podcast. 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:13.400 My man, I'm proud of this because we're audio guys, 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.600 and everyone wants to do what we're doing here for 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:17.839 a living. Danny, infect I just saw this week that 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:22.680 Marshawn Lynch is launching a podcast with Gavin Newsom, the 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:27.440 Weasley Snake, Governor of California. So everyone wants to do 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:28.400 audio content. 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:28.640 I know. 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:29.640 It makes no sense to me. 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:30.719 I don't know. 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:37.400 But is it true that Colin Cowherd radio and TV 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:43.480 and Dan Patrick radio and TV, their audience is ten 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:50.039 times as large on radio and audio content only as 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:53.880 opposed to television. A little birdie tells me that may 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:55.919 or may not be true, Danny, that there are many 0:04:55.960 --> 0:05:00.400 more people consuming the cow Herd brand and the Dan 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:04.640 Patrick brand on the radio that on television. 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:05.600 Radio rules. 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.840 Yeah, as much as people try to kill it, it's 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:12.200 much like a cockroach in the building. It will not 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.360 go away, will not go away. We were trying to 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:16.839 figure out the other day, and I think we talked 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:18.320 about this on the show a while back. How many 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:24.320 generations of cockroaches have come through the building because it 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:25.200 was originally a Danny. 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:28.680 Yes, you'd have to figure out when the Denny's closed. 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.960 Yeah, So Fox Sports Radio took over that building in 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:38.080 the late like ninety nine. They started building Fox Sports 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:42.960 Radio in two thousand, the building that we're in now. 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.080 Do you know in the early nineties I ate at 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:50.600 the Denny's here when my family was visiting this part 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:54.920 of LA I remember the parking and walking in off 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.800 the street. So it's a flashback that I have sometimes 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.680 whenever I'm walking on the street outside. 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:05.880 Well, here's a fun, fun factory the American cockroach, which 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.919 is what these are. These are American cockroaches. The lifespan 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.960 of an American cockroaches up to that's a weasel term, 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:15.479 up to three years. So think let's do the math 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:19.680 on this. So this place Denny's was there before. Well, 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:23.160 we're not going to count Denny's. Fox Sports Radio in 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:26.520 that building. The studio opened late two thousand. I was 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.960 there when they launched it. Actually, it might have been 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.520 early two thousand and one when they launched the building. 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:35.600 We had other studios before then. So let's do the 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:35.960 math home. 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:39.760 Let me do the great great grandparent. Cockroaches were here 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:41.960 when the Denny's was closing. 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:45.520 Let's try to use some nuance this like it was 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:53.000 in America. So three times let's see here. 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:56.279 Three can't believe we're doing cockroach calculating. 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:03.800 Yeah, yeah, okay, so three times eight that is yeah, 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:08.960 eight generations of cockroaches. So that's like going back eight 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:14.200 hundred years. It is as like going back eight hundred years. 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.480 You think these generations tell stories about back of the 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:19.120 old days. This used to be a Denny's. We had 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.680 all the food we wanted. We were lived like kings 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:23.960 here when this was a Denny's. And now now we 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:27.040 have to scrub for these cheap radio bastards and the 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:27.800 food they bring. 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.040 We have a cheap vending machine with stale chips. 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:37.840 Well, thank you, Marcus, And I know, yeah you did. 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:40.840 Was it the Dan Patrick Show this week that you 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:43.080 were doing? Is that what you were doing this week? Yeah? 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:47.400 Last week we did Monday through Thursday the Dan Slam, 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:52.640 four days in a row of the Dan Patrick Morning Show. Okay, 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:54.480 and they did not allow us on Peacock. 0:07:55.200 --> 0:08:01.360 I interested, Splendid Daddy writes and from Leesburg, Alabama, Daddy, 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:05.360 and the Splendid Daddy says, with all the sausage talk 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:09.920 in recent episodes of the radio show, I have a 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:13.800 question for the mailbag. This refers to two well known people, 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:18.560 I suppose, he says, Anthony Wiener, former US REP from 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:24.440 New York, and David Pecker, former CEO of American Media. 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.280 If you had to change your last name and you 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:33.120 only had two choices, Splendid Daddy says, Pecker or Wiener, 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:38.280 which would you choose? This is for both of you, gentlemen, 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.240 it says, so Splendidaddy. I think this one is easy. 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:45.960 I think the Wiener is the softer of the term. 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:51.720 I like the extended Wiener. The Pecker is a more 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:56.840 offensive version of that. So if you had to choose, 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:57.960 you'd go with the Wiener. 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.400 That's a great lineage though, with the woody the woodpecker. 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.120 Yeah no, yeah, you could say something like that. 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:07.000 Well, the worst one out there. And you've probably seen 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:12.240 this clip. It's gone viral even again recently, especially on Instagram. 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:15.800 The clip of your boy on Love Connection. What was 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:17.480 that host him, Chuck Woolery. 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:18.199 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:21.040 Remember he introduces the guy that went out on the 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:23.760 date and his last name is if you want to 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:27.319 say it in French, fagot. Okay, but he doesn't say 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:29.800 it that way. He says it the way where you'd 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:31.880 be canceled if you said that word right now. 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:36.000 Oh okay. That there was a player at Florida State 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:40.800 that his name I believe was pronounced like a cigarette 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:41.320 in Europe. 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:44.120 Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm talking about, fat goo. 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:46.600 Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the way. 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.000 To say it in French. So we don't get in trouble. Yeah. 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:55.480 Now, the most famous person from Leesburg, Alabama is Lindy Hood. 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.160 Do you know who that is? Lindy Hood? No, she's 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.280 from the hood. She was a college basketball player, so 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:03.320 EDDI probably knows who she? 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.040 Who she was or he? 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.760 Rather, it's a It was a guy, James, James, James, 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:15.560 Lindy Hood was his name. He played college basketball at Alabama. 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:17.400 This is it a he or she? I feel like 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:19.000 you're talking about the Olympics right now. 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.720 Well, this is this guy. He's been dead for a while, 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:28.640 but it was James Marcus Lindy Hood. Yeah, nickname. His 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:32.400 nickname came during his playing days with Alabama. During a 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:35.280 trip to New Orleans to play Tulane. As he entered 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:39.480 a hotel lobby, a crowd mystic hood for Charles Lindbergh, 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:43.720 and thus the nickname Lindy, as in Lindburg was given 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:48.640 to him. So huh, okay, that did not think that 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:51.400 would come up in the conversation. But at the Leesburg, Alabama, 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:57.520 now if you're named Lindy, they think yeah. Kevin in 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:00.800 Kansas writes into the mail bag. He says, dear Ben 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:05.760 and Danny g Recently on an Olympic swimmer accepted a 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:10.880 proposal from her boyfriend even as she was dripping wet 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:15.640 from her qualifying race. With Valentine's Day only a little 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.560 over two hundred days away. I figured I would ask 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.880 Kevin and Kansas says, to have you, gentlemen, share your 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.240 proposal stories. Maybe you could play my heart will go 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:28.319 on in the background things. Well, very romantic of you, 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:31.000 Kevin to want to know how we propose. 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:34.960 Can't play licensed music on podcasts, unfortunately, Yeah, I gotta 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:36.520 pay a lot of money for Yeah, we could sing 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.679 it in the background though. Yeah. 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:47.800 So I proposed to my now wife right outside the 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:52.440 Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, I believe is what that venue is called. 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:57.959 That is in Los Angeles, downtown Los Angeles, right near 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:02.000 Grand Avenue. But the street we were on was Hope 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:05.320 Avenue because you got to have Hope. And if you're 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:11.040 not familiar with the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, it's a famous location, 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:17.320 goes back to the nineteen sixties in Hollywood. They've had many, 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:22.480 many big award shows back in the day. 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:25.520 This says karaoke version. Am I allowed to play that? 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.560 Yeah, I think we're fine. Why not. I won't tell anybody. 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:30.000 If you don't tell anybody, right. 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:33.440 It's not even the same original instruments, it's like fake one, 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:35.480 so it'll think it matters. Yeah. 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:38.240 So the Academy Awards were held is Dorothy Chandler Pavilion 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:40.959 from the sixties to the eighties and then occasionally in 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.000 the nineties, and then that was it. They moved somewhere else. 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:44.839 But I proposed there's a bunch of fountains out in 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:47.400 front of that, and I proposed to my I got 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:51.200 on a knee and I proposed to my wife, and 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:54.199 then we went Nate Garlic at the Stink and Rose. 0:12:55.000 --> 0:13:00.120 So that's that's how that went. What about you, Danny. 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.040 I looked at my girl, I looked her right in 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:03.920 the eyes, and I said, you want to go half 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:07.120 on a baby? Hey? 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:08.040 You know who I am? 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:12.520 Come on wait. That was the second date Disneyland. It's 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:15.080 her thing, it's her jam. She's a seasoned pass holder, 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:17.760 so I knew I had to do it there. I 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.600 got boot socks because I had to figure out a 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:24.679 way to carry the ring, knowing that it was attached 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:26.480 and not, you know, going to fall out on a 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:29.120 ride or something like that. Couldn't have the bulky ring 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.840 holder in my pocket either, so I hid it in 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:35.319 the long boot sock. All day I was trying to 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.320 look for the perfect opportunity to pop the question. It 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.920 was a really fun day there at the park, but 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:45.040 there was no privacy. Anytime I got somewhere in the 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:48.080 park where there wasn't a huge crowd, some boso would 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:50.959 like walk right over by where we were. I had 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.440 to keep resetting, like, okay, well I'll try it later, 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:56.440 I'll try it again later. We are waiting in line 0:13:56.640 --> 0:14:00.679 for the Indiana Jones ride, famous for breaking down all 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.760 the time. Right before we get on the ride, sure enough, 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.600 it breaks down, and they make an announcement that they're 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:08.880 not sure how long it's going to take, so you 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.520 could either stay in that line or you could leave. 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:13.600 You can get on these elevators and leave the ride. 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.160 My chick looks at me and she says, I think 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:23.000 I'm gonna vomit. Well, damn if this isn't romantic right now. 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:26.920 We get out of there, and I'm thinking this night 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:31.280 is ruined. But we go over to like the Princess Ride, 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.080 and we get on there and it's like snow white 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:37.360 and all the princesses and all that. And we get 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:39.760 off and there's a little private area right as you're 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:43.000 exiting that ride, and I pushed her into the corner there, 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.760 got on my knee and gave her the ring dah. 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:50.120 She said no and said go ahead, And they wound 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:52.400 up working out perfect because right in front of the 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:56.880 castle there, they have professional photographers who are always taking 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.400 pictures of people in front of the castle. So she 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:01.880 got to do a little mini photoshoot with her ring 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:04.440 right there in front of the castle that was all lit. 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.680 Up and now every time you see that castle, you 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:14.520 flash back, you get away from me. Mike from the 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:17.080 South Bay rights and he says, hey, Ben and Danny, 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:21.680 I saw this week that the Clippers owner Steve Balmer 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:25.720 is now richer than Bill Gates. How is this going 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:29.760 to affect your clippers? Benny? Well, Mike, it won't affect 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.800 the Clippers because Steve Balmer. I think he's now the 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:36.960 sixth richest person in the world, Steve Balmer, or at 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:38.800 least the US, I think I read that this week. 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:40.520 Yeah, in the US. 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:41.760 Okay, to the US. But it doesn't I mean, it 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:44.920 doesn't matter because he's he was already rich, and he's 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:48.800 just going to keep blowing money on basketball players that 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.600 are malingering and steal his money and don't show up 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:54.960 in playoff games and all that stuff. But at least 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.960 he won't be drafting the kid of any of his players. 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.680 I don't believe so got good energy though. Now he's 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:05.400 got a great arena, the taj Mahal of arenas opening 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:09.000 up in the hood in Inglewood. A j from Phoenix 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.640 writes and he says, Ben Halupsett was Eddie and ferg 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:15.400 Dog or Eddie rather when Ferg Dog ran the board 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:20.480 on Mallard's Mountain of Money this week. Yeah, I don't know. 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:23.160 I mean Eddie, Eddie Fane's anger. 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:25.520 Wait, why was Ferg Doug running the board? 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:27.320 He dominated the game. 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:31.520 I thought he was physically visiting you in the studio, 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:34.120 ran on the board like Iowa Sam used to do 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:35.120 for two weeks now. 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:37.800 He does not leave Brian Finley's home, fer Dog, he 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:40.080 does not. But Fergie did a great job. He got 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:42.720 all five questions. Right. Here's the thing. Let me let 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.040 you in a little secret behind the curtain here, behind 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:48.760 the factory, how we make the sausage jay. So Eddie 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:54.480 carries himself like the last bastion of purity, right, that 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:59.880 he's pure and innocent, and that I'm somehow the evil, 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:06.520 and he's got the integrity on the show and all 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.840 this stuff, right, all this nonsense, and he's he is 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:13.640 the moral compass of the show, that he's got the 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:18.000 governing principles and all that, and when in reality, I'm 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:21.360 the one that follows the code of ethics. I'm the 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:24.800 one that's on the moral high ground here. It's not Eddie. 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:30.240 Eddie colors outside the lines all the time. In fact, 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:35.520 Eddie is often guilty Jay of what I call stolen valor. 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:39.080 He claims it's a military term, but I'll steal it. 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:43.320 He claims awards and badges that he did not earn. 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:48.119 He has cheated multiple times on the show. Listeners have 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:52.679 caught him cheating. He sometimes the mic he doesn't realize 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:53.160 is off. 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:55.680 He says something, you are the one who got caught 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:56.159 cheating on. 0:17:57.160 --> 0:18:01.240 So I've got the all time wins on these game shows, Danny, 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:04.280 I'm the wins king. I have more wins than anybody. 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:10.639 A domination situation. And then Eddie's like, oh, I'm the 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:12.639 one that No, you're not okay. So he was a 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:13.240 little upset. 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:13.639 He was up. 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:16.639 He was claiming there was some funny business. There was 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:18.320 no funny business going on at all. It was a 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:21.000 great win. Good job by Fergie. Way to go. Although 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:23.119 he didn't send an email in this week for the mailbag, 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:27.800 bad job by him. Dave from Portland rights in, uh, 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:32.000 this is an odd one. He says he has a 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:35.439 swimming pool. I don't think a lot of people in 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:37.760 Portland have swimming pools, do they do? Anythink Portland's a 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:40.240 big swimming pool area. Kind of cool overcast. 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:43.600 Yeah, I wouldn't think so. Anyway, he says he he 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:45.879 really got nice summers, but their summers are short. 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:50.520 Yeah, he said that. He said there's only gonna be 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:54.119 sixty thousand. He read there's gonna be sixty thousand in 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:58.439 ground pools installed constructed this year. He says he's a 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:04.119 pool guy. He's says that's half as many as twenty 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:07.000 twenty one. So he says, are we nearing the end 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:12.960 of the inground pool? Now? Let me ask you a question, Dave, 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:17.159 Why the why the f would you send that question 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:20.280 to this show? Like, are you just like messing orders? 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:25.440 Are we being punked here? But I will, I will 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:27.600 only say this, and I don't know much about in 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:29.879 ground pools. But I do know because when I moved 0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:35.520 into the original Malord mansion. When I moved back, I 0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:39.840 thought about putting a pool in, and then I looked 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:43.240 at how much it costs to put an inground pool 0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:43.760 in a house. 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:47.200 Do you know how much it costs Danny thirty thousand. 0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:52.240 Before the pandemic, you could put an inground pool in 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:56.920 for about forty thousand dollars. Okay, Now, when I did 0:19:56.920 --> 0:20:00.359 some investigating, this was during the pandemic. I did some again. 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:05.320 It was at fifty thousand dollars. Now it is sixty 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:09.520 five and beyond sixty five thousand and beyond the get 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:13.399 in price for a small piece of crap in ground 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:15.080 pool sixty five thousand dollars. 0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:15.880 Wow. 0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:20.480 So I would say, Dave, that is why they're not 0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:23.560 constructing a lot of in ground pools, because it is 0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:28.720 a bougie bougie bougie thing, and it's expensive enough to 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:30.800 if you're able to buy a house, and then to 0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:33.760 add an extra seventy eighty thousand dollars, and then you 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:35.520 have to have the maintenance on top of that. 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:39.520 Good luck. Man Trump should add this to his talking points. 0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:45.280 I will make pools affordable again. Everyone wells and millions 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:46.480 and billions of pools. 0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:49.080 I will get a pool for Joe Biden so he 0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:53.000 can forget where the pool is and walk away, all right. 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:59.040 Avery in Vegas Rights, and Avery in Vegas says, Hey, Ben, 0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:03.960 is Danny g invited to the big Malor Meet and 0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:09.040 Greet in Vegas?
