Reggie says, watches mister Beast. And he says, 54 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: you and Danny have talked about mister Beast before. However, 55 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: you say you have not seen his videos. Neither have 56 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: I or anyone I know, Reggie said, And then he says, 57 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: is mister Beast a fraud? That's from Reggie. I don't know. 58 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: I really have never seen mister Beast. I think I'm 59 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: outside the demo, but I don't know what the demo is. 60 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 1: Kids are kids watching mister Beasts, every single kid, or 61 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: there are a billion kids watching mister Beast. You know 62 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: how I feel, Danny about Internet download numbers and all that. Skeptical. 63 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: I'm very skeptical about that stuff. 64 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot of kids in my house here. 65 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 3: I think one eighth of the kid population. Daddy, they 66 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 3: don't watch him. Maybe we're the exception. Because I was 67 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 3: thinking about it. I haven't watched his videos. Teenager we 68 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 3: have here doesn't watch his videos, so yeah, I'm not sure. 69 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: Remember was it twenty twenty four mister Beast was brought 70 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: in by the NBA. It was either for the Celebrity 71 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: Game or he was doing something of the actual All 72 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: Star Game. And nobody seemed to know who he was 73 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: at the and there were twenty thousand people or whatever 74 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: it was in the arena, not this All Star Game, 75 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: the one couple. I guess it was a year before, 76 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: but nobody kind of knew who he was. It was 77 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: very odd for somebody who, if you believe the hype, 78 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: the publicity, is the one of the most famous people 79 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: in the world. 80 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 3: Odd. Probably one of the craziest things, one of the 81 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 3: craziest phenomenons, if you will, in our lifetime is that 82 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 3: old video that still makes the rounds guys sitting in 83 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 3: their basement talking about how they were upset because they 84 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 3: only had like forty views on their first YouTube upload. 85 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 3: The creators of YouTube were sitting there kicking rocks because 86 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 3: they thought they failed. Now we legitimately have millionaires and 87 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 3: almost billionaires off of their platform. 88 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's odd to me. I like they're famous, 89 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: but it's not as famous as before the internet. Isn't 90 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: it odd. 91 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 3: That you can get it's not real famous, it's Internet 92 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 3: famous exactly. 93 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: Like you think the celebrities that were famous when we 94 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: back in our day, Danny, when we were growing up, 95 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 1: and how everyone knew who these people were, Like Michael 96 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: Jordan didn't have social media, but everyone knew who Michael 97 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: Jordan was because of TV commercial people watching TV and 98 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: actors that were famous in that in those days. Like 99 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: how many actors. I guess Sidney Sweeney, she's an actress, right, 100 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: she's I believe? Yes, am I correct? 101 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 2: You know? 102 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 3: And I'm sure you do this in your daily prep 103 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 3: for your overnight show. When you go to today's celebrity 104 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 3: birthdays and you type in the date on the first page, 105 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 3: all these Internet stars come up that aren't Hollywood stars. 106 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I'll go to the tabloids, and the tabloids 107 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: are right, stories about mister Beast for example, because Reggie 108 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: brought up mister Beast and some of these other there's 109 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: some women's like influencers who will get a lot of publicity. 110 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 1: I have no idea what they I've never I mean, 111 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: they're attractive. Congratulations. There's a lot of attractive people in 112 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 1: the world. I don't know. It's just very odd to me. 113 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: There was another one in the fact that Reggie brought 114 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: up the mister Beast thing. But there was a story 115 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: in one of the tabloids this week that mister Beast 116 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: revealed that he's borderline blind in one eye, you know, 117 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:30,559 Speaker 1: and that's why he never smiles because he's blind. Like, okay, great, 118 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: congratulations anyway, I don't know, so thank you, Reggie. I 119 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: have not seen mister Beast. Neither is Danny or the 120 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: many kids in his house. Alf from the Gutter writes 121 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 1: in he says, show up hands. How many people in 122 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: studio checked out the website that Blair plugged on air? 123 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: So Danny, Blair and Maine called up rare and appropriate 124 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: doesn't call very often anymore. And I think I said 125 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: something like, well, we lost Blair to TikTok, and then 126 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: Blair said, no, I'm on some other I'm streaming on 127 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: some other website. So he named the website and I'd 128 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: never heard of it. Well, no, I heard of that, 129 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: but he hadn't. He hadn't, and we'd never heard of it. 130 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: And whatever we ignored it, and then of all people, 131 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: Kathy Sweet Kathy and Madison says, hey, that's a porn site. 132 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: Uh and yeah. But Blair was on apparently an adult website. 133 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: That's where he had gone to, and I did not 134 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: check it out. Once Kathy told me what it was, 135 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: I was like, I'm at work. I'm not going to 136 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: get the ding on my my hr. I'm not going 137 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: to bother I don't I'm not that interested.

He's like, yeah, 142 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: I'm in on this. He named the website, and oh boy, 143 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: I can only imagine what what activity is going on there. 144 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: From Waterville, Maine, Blair in the legend there in Maine. 145 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 3: He's on Metalcocks dot Org. 146 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: I was attracted to the giant metalcock. There's a lot 147 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: going on. There's a lot going on. Joe from Pasadena, 148 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: where the Rose Parade is held every year, writes in. 149 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: He says, Ben and Danny, there was a viral video 150 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: this week about a poker player that tore his acl. 151 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: I was excited about it and then I realized that 152 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 1: the video was from seventeen years ago. How does this? 153 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, Ben, This happened to me on Friday too, 154 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 3: because it was trending and I'm like, this is great, 155 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 3: and I sent it to Covino and Rich and right 156 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 3: after I sent it to him, I double checked the 157 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 3: story and it said from two thousand and nine. 158 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah. I don't know, Joe. I guess 159 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: it's different generations or something like that. You just keep 160 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: bringing back I have noticed the NFL aggregators. Have you 161 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: noticed d it this week? Not at this Last week 162 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: was not a huge week for NFL news. Things have 163 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 1: kind of calmed down before things pick up again in 164 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: the NFL, so it was a lot going on. So 165 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: they started bringing back stuff from two or three years ago, 166 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: and I was noticing stories that were popping up, and 167 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: They're like, that's an old I remember talking about that 168 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: story in twenty twenty two or twenty three or something 169 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: like that. 170 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 3: They bring me back. 171 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: But this is like the way I agree with Joe. 172 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: Seventeen year old video A seventeen year old video of 173 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: a guy tearing his ACL celebrating. 174 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 3: Now, to be fair, I never saw that clip. I 175 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 3: just wish that whoever posts it like busting with the boys, 176 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 3: because that's how I got got. I wish they would 177 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 3: start the post by saying, hey, a flashback a Friday, 178 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 3: flashback to two thousand and nine. That would be appropriate, 179 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 3: but they posted as if it just happened. Yeah. 180 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: No, I understand they're trying to get engagement, right. You 181 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: get paid on down loads, get paid on clicks and 182 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: all that stuff, so people are clicking on it. I 183 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: guess it doesn't matter. You can just bring stuff back. 184 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: You'll live forever on the internet. Danny will just do that, guy, 185 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: I bet you bring it back. Every five years, they're 186 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: going to bring back that video, so remember listenly or whatever. Yeah, yeah, 187 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 1: I that happens a lot, like a lot of these videos, 188 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: like even not necessarily seventeen years ago, but like I said, 189 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: three or four years ago, five years ago. There's stories 190 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: that are on there that are old and repackaged. Is 191 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: new again? Simon from Seattle writes into the mailbag. He says, 192 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: Ben and Danny, how is this still a thing? And 193 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 1: then he said there's a a guy got charged fifty 194 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: five thousand dollars because of his daughter watching TikTok and 195 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: she was not on the TikTok shop here. According to 196 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: the story that Simon sent me a link to, this 197 00:10:54,320 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: was in Manchester, England, and the business owner he's facing 198 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: this bill because his daughter, Oh, I guess they were 199 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: traveling to Morocco, so that his daughter decided to watch 200 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: TikTok while they were traveling to Morocco. The guy found 201 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: out when he got back to England a phone provider 202 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: hit him with a bill of fifty six thousand dollars 203 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 1: forty two thousand pounds two separate bills. 204 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 3: Were get in trouble as a kid. Yes, just did 205 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 3: phone calls? 206 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,719 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I did. Yeah, well they charged by 207 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: the minute. Oh my god. Oh it is so bad. 208 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 3: Yeah. Remember nights were free and so our parents would 209 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 3: always scream at us, you cannot call your friend until 210 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 3: it's nighttime. 211 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: Yeah it's Chris. I'm so happy they don't do that anymore. 212 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: But apparently here they did. His daughter had scrolled around 213 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: eight hours on and off, which meant it was costing 214 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: five thousand pounds an hour. The cost came because of 215 00:11:55,440 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: a clause in the phone contract which allowed uncap data 216 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: roaming outside of Europe. And the I guess, so the 217 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: guy got charged all this. I think they were able 218 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: to get it off the the you know, roll it 219 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: back or whatever. But my god, that is like nineteen nineties, 220 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: two thousands, right, Danny, that's like. 221 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 3: That's definitely some nineteen nineties shit right there. 222 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's wild man. Yeah. I remember the cell phone 223 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,599 Speaker 1: we would have. The first cell phones. My mom was 224 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: very expensive. She's like, only in an emergency, do not 225 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: use this, and let's this an emergency, you know, because 226 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: it's so expensive. 227 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, and you had a tripod to set the 228 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 3: antenna up for the phone. 229 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: I was a nightmare. Barry, still in South Carolina but 230 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: still trying to get out on the mailbag, says yo 231 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: Yo Ma, Benny. I know you are a Vegas guy, 232 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: and I just got back from Vegas last Friday. They 233 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: have these robo taxis that are free for now and 234 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: they test as they test this concept out. Have you 235 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: ever taken one of these? If not, would you? That's 236 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 1: from Barry in South Carolina. I have not taken one 237 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: of those. I did consider in San Francisco taking a Waimo, 238 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 1: which is I guess the same thing. You got to 239 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: pay for it and they're all over San Francisco. But 240 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: we ended up taking the cable car instead of the Waimo, 241 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: which was more like San Francisco, and almost died on it. 242 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 3: But whatever. Ooh, and when I walked down to the 243 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 3: Tenderloine for a minute because I was looking for a 244 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 3: shop that I found. 245 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,719 Speaker 1: Right there, Danny, if you say walking to the Tenderloin, 246 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: you know things are not going to go. 247 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 3: Well, that's dude. Covino and Rich for the staff thing 248 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 3: that was going on. They said, we don't smoke marijuana, 249 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 3: but they like those drinks that have the THHC in them. 250 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 3: It's like a carbonated orange soda, but it has a 251 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 3: little kick to it. So I found a shop, a 252 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 3: dispensary in San Francisco that sold them. I had to 253 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 3: walk for ten minutes though, to get these drinks. So 254 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 3: I'm walking and there were zombies and wayms. That was 255 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 3: the two things in that area of San Francisco. I'd 256 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 3: see a robot go by, then I'd see a freaked 257 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 3: out drugy go by. 258 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. I had a similar experience. It was not in 259 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: the Tenderloin, but it was Union Square. I think it's 260 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: called right, isn't that the big Yeah, yeah, Union Square. 261 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: So we walked towards Union Square and that area was fine. 262 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: It was I think that's what it was called. But 263 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: it was, you know, okay, there were cops everywhere, fine whatever, 264 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: A nice little park in the middle of downtown San Francisco. 265 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: Good neighborhood, it felt like. And then we walked over 266 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: a couple other blocks and oh my god, it was 267 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: it was like Sodom and Gomorrah is what it was. 268 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: And it was funny. I think I told you about 269 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: it last week. We were on the on the podcast 270 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: like got not Gottlieb, but what's his name McAfee. Pat 271 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: McAfee was bragging about how it wasn't that bad and 272 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: every it was fine, you know, and he'd heard a 273 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: lot from people saying, how how bout it was San 274 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: Francisco or it was fine. I was like, yeah, right 275 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: around the convention Center it was okay.

Have you ever 300 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: been locked out of your home? And how did you 301 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: get back in after Hurricane Helene flooded my house in 302 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four or Helen. I had to break a window, 303 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: Scott says, to get back inside because my electronic door 304 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: locks fried from salt water. I should have just kept 305 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: the house locked up and walked away from it forever, 306 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: says Scott from Florida. As an adult, I have not. 307 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: I've been locked out of my car, which sucks, but 308 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: we have a back so I have to get you know, 309 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: I have to get the wife to come wherever I 310 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: am and like, I'm locked out of the car, that's 311 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: that's but I don't. As a kid, I did have 312 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: that happen. We ended up putting one of those you 313 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: know the boxes, the plastic boxes where you put the 314 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 1: extra key, I hide it somewhere outside. We did that 315 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: because I had locked myself out, But not as an adult. 316 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: Have you ever Danny locked yourself out of the Danny 317 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: g Casa? 318 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's happened one time. I guess the teenager watched 319 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 3: something scary on TV. So she went downstairs and she 320 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 3: locked the top lock, which is an inside lock only. 321 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 3: We never used that lock here. We always use the 322 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 3: two locks down by the door handle. I have no 323 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 3: idea why to even have that top slide lock on 324 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 3: our door. But you know, obviously, from the outside, even 325 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 3: if you have a set of keys, you can't control that. 326 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 3: She got scared that she went downstairs and locked that. 327 00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 3: I was at work still. I come back from my shift. 328 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 3: I can't get in. Everybody's asleep. I'm blowing up Brenda's phone. 329 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 3: She's not answering. I didn't know what to do, so 330 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 3: I was like a nomad. I was driving around in circles. 331 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 3: I went to an eyehop, I sat with my laptop 332 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 3: and did some work all night. Ben. It took until 333 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 3: about two in the morning that my wife woke up 334 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 3: realizing I wasn't around, and freaked out and called my 335 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 3: phone and I'm like, yeah, you think you're freaked out. 336 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 3: I've been driving around in circles for five hours. 337 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: I think I remember you telling that story on the podcast. 338 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think so.

Yeah, that's good. I 341 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: remember when the kid was little, he and one of 342 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: his cousins got locked. We had this weird at the 343 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 1: old house we had. There were these There was a bathroom, 344 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: and there were doors on both sides of the bathroom, right, 345 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: so one to the hall, one to one of the bedrooms, 346 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: and these two knuckleheads locked themselves. Are they locked the no, 347 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: they didn't lock themselves in. They locked one of the doors, 348 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 1: and then on the way out they locked the other one, 349 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 1: so both and you can only open them from the 350 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: inside or whatever.

Mike from Wisconsin writes 425 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: in he says, Ben and Danny, I've heard you Ben 426 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: talk about how you like you make the call commercials 427 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: from back in the day. I also like those commercials, 428 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: So you make the call. And then he sent a 429 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: story about a guy in Italy who has been making 430 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: headlines here. Apparently there's a dog in Italy whose owner 431 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 1: the police have accused of training it to illegally dump 432 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: trash outside. So this guy apparently has got the dog trained. 433 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 1: He gives the dog a bag of trash, and the 434 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: dog walks to the end of the street and drops 435 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: the trash off and then walks back. It's on tape 436 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 1: in Italy, and so Mike wants to know is this 437 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 1: really creative or is this really lazy? And that's from 438 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: Mike in Wisconsin. So how about all of the above. 439 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: It is creative, it's dedicated. I would say, Danny that 440 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 1: Caesar a long level dog training to get your dog. 441 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 1: I can't get Moxie to do anything, as we talked 442 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: about on yesterday's podcast, Moxie, we can't get her to 443 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 1: eat a lot of food and then cause mountains of 444 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 1: pooh all over the house. But other than that, like, 445 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 1: are you that lazy? Don't you have trash? If you're 446 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: living in an apartment or a home, there's trash, right, 447 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: you have to have a place to throw your stuff with, 448 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: Like what is the point of littering like that? I 449 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: don't understand. Are you charged for the trash or something 450 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,360 Speaker 1: like that. That's the part that doesn't make any sense 451 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: to me. I understand being lazy, and like having your 452 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: dog do it, why not if you're in an apartment building. 453 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 1: I used to live in Park Lebray in La we 454 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: had a trash chute. Was great, just squalk down the 455 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: hall throwing the trash ute. Teach your dog to go 456 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: to the trash chute and throw it down the hall. 457 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: There's got to be more to this story, right Danny. 458 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Because we have ye 459 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 3: in our building here there is a couple of covered dumpsters. 460 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 3: They put like this nice red brick thing around it, 461 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 3: so you can't tell there's trash in there. We can't 462 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 3: even get our kids to walk the trash bags over there. 463 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 3: So if I had a dog that would do that 464 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,640 Speaker 3: for me. Oh that's money right there. 465 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that guy instead of having his dog do that, 466 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: he should start a service to train other people's dogs 467 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,360 Speaker 1: how to take the trash out that way. 468 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I would teach my dog how to 469 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 3: piss on the red brick. It just right if you're dumping. 470 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: The trash right there? 471 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 3: Two for one special, good doggy, lift your leg now, 472 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 3: all right?

But man, it is a little awkward 496 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: that you would what's going on in your world where 497 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: you know, I understand guys get a loan, you know, 498 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: women in the picture. I understand that I've been in 499 00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: that spot before. But you know, I'm trying to be 500 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 1: polite to I'm trying to be politged. 501 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 3: I got too skinny. You got too skinny from all 502 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 3: the fasting, Ben, because you almost had boobs. 503 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 1: I was very close to having massive, massive breasts. Yes, 504 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: all right, thank you for you can flirt with me 505 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 1: for Dick. 506 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 3: Remember that drop and I saw her boobs. Oh yeah, 507 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 3: I'm a believer. 508 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a classic. Brian from Minnesota Rights in 509 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: Big Benny says, we can all agree that the players 510 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: just simply don't care about the All Star Game and 511 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl anymore. Two things have changed during the 512 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 1: time it was watchable to what it is now social 513 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: media and sensitive athlete slash owners. Before social media, players 514 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: and owners could tune out the booze and negativity because 515 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: the means of expressing displeasure were limited. Now we have 516 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: players and owners with burner accounts because they're on the 517 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: defensive for their reputations. We have an owner in the 518 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,439 Speaker 1: New York Jets. Suck Suck. Suck put the killed on 519 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: the NFLPA reviews of team facilities and the experience and 520 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 1: all that. Brian says. They say they want to go 521 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 1: global band, but they don't want to hear what they 522 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: have to say. Why would any player entertain fickle fans 523 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,679 Speaker 1: that one moment will wear their jerseys and burn it 524 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: the next Well, that's part of the it's part of 525 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: the deal. That's the first thing. And he had the burner. 526 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: The players have always been sensitive. I remember when I 527 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: covered the Dodgers in the nineties, they had a guy 528 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 1: named Mike Piazza who was in the home run derby 529 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: one year. I think it was in Pittsburgh or Philadelphia. 530 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: He didn't get a ball out of the infield and 531 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: he never did the home run derby again. That was it. 532 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: He would go on to be a bigger star with 533 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: the Mets, but he never did the derby again because 534 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: he was so embarrassed because he couldn't. He just was 535 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: not a batting practice home run derby guy. 536 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 3: And Jesus, you had a bigger hit in a celebrity 537 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 3: game at Dodgers Stadium. 538 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: Am right? Baby damn right. Although I did injure my 539 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: knee in one of those media baseball games and I'm 540 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: still feeling the effects of that all these years later. 541 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: I should retroactively sue the Dodgers. Ryan writes in from Shrewsbury, mass. 542 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: He says, been the story, the key story on Friday 543 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: was truly fascinating. Well, I'm glad because this guy Mark 544 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: and Reno is ripping me for the key story, So 545 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: I'm glad that you appreciate it. Ryan, I had a 546 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: surprise ending. Also a big fan of bringing back Footy fun, 547 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: as I was one of those emailers that asked to 548 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: bring it back a couple months ago. He says. My 549 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: question this week, I listened to the last hour of 550 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 1: the Overnight Show when I'm heading to work. I actually 551 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: saved the FSR number under your name so I can 552 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: call it call in. Every time I call, I get 553 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: the dial tone. Maybe I'm calling too late, but I 554 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: don't know. When is the best time to call a show? 555 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: Usually listening from five am to six am. That is 556 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: from Ryan. So normally Ryan, the top of the hour 557 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: is people hang up because that's our long longest pause 558 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: from like fifty six something to one thirty past the 559 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: top of the hour and ever we come on. So 560 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: typically the top of the hour is good. Earlier in 561 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: the show. It's actually easier to get in early in 562 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: the show. We have more people listening to the last hour, 563 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: more people contributing the last hour, So earlier the better. 564 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: And then it's also dependent on the person answering the 565 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: phones actually being paying attention to the phones. That sometimes 566 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: doesn't happen. So but typically earlier in the hours when 567 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: you can get in. 568 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 3: That's Mike, and don't call in the last hour of 569 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 3: the show if you can avoid it, because that is 570 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 3: a replay of Ben's first hour of his overnight show. 571 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: Yes see, I only do one hour. Actually a lot 572 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: of people think I do four original hours of talk radio. 573 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: But I'm too Danny, I'm very busy. I can't be 574 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: and Ryan, I can't stay up on it. I just 575 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: do one hour and then we just replay it. That's it. 576 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: Back out back. John and Joanna in so Cal write 577 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: ins say, hey, big Ben, my wife Joanna and I 578 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: were listening to the show on Monday night and heard 579 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 1: you mention our names and our interest in wee Bowl. 580 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: In the beginning of the fourth hour. We know you 581 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 1: don't do shout outs, but this was flipping incredible. 582 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 3: I'll pay that actually happened in the first hour. 583 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, thank you so much. Yeah, that was not 584 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: And just for the record, out back John and your 585 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: lovely wife Joanna. That was not a shout out. That 586 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: was a mention, and a mention is much different than 587 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: a shoutout. A mention is allowed in copy. In copy. 588 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: That is my tribute also to the great late Ernie Harwell, 589 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: who was I didn't grow up in Michigan. I'm not 590 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: from Detroit, but Ernie Harwell I heard these amazing stories. 591 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: I read a book about Ernie Harwell, who was a 592 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 1: Tiger's broadcaster, actually a Brooklyn Dodgers broadcaster before that. But 593 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: Ernie Harwell would just he'd throw names in there of 594 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: Tiger fans and somebody'd hit a foul ball, Danny, and 595 00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: he'd say, what a great catch by Steve from Flint, Michigan, 596 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: you know, or something like that. And so I thought, well, 597 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: if it was good enough for Ernie Harwell. I met 598 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: Ernie when he was very late in his life, and 599 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: I thought, why not. You know, I don't know a 600 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: great Ernie harwell, he says, Now want of the mailbag question? 601 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 1: Out back John? When it comes to enchiladas? Do you 602 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: prefer red beef or green chickens? From John? Outback John? 603 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 1: So is it's really the green sauce or the red sauce? 604 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 3: Right? 605 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: Which one do you?

That's the better sauce. 609 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: I'm a green guy. I'm a green teamer. I'm a 610 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: green teamer.

Some that you wish wouldn't shake 663 00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,760 Speaker 1: their ass. It's all there right there on Fremont Street. 664 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: And I think they raised the price of parking down there, 665 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 1: so any other Vegas I know, Red Rock is where 666 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 1: the money is. That's where the rich people live in Vegas, 667 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 1: off the strip, the Red Rocket. 668 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 3: I would also suggest a tour of Allegiant Stadium. 669 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,360 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you did that, Danny, right, you did the 670 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 1: back Yeah. 671 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 3: It was really cool. You don't even need to be 672 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,760 Speaker 3: a football fan or a Raiders fan to do that. 673 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,880 Speaker 3: Stadium is next level and they take you behind velvet 674 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 3: rope there, so you get to see all the intricate 675 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,280 Speaker 3: workings of that stadium. 676 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 1: That's cool. Yeah, right on. Uh yeah, there's a lot 677 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:11,800 Speaker 1: to do. 678 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 2: Uh. 679 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: The Arts District in in Vegas surprisingly kind of cool. 680 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 1: It's relatively new, a lot of thrift shops, restaurants so 681 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 1: you don't have to gamble. There's a few museums over 682 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,319 Speaker 1: there too. I don't remember when the name of them, 683 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: but it's called the Arts District in Vegas. You can 684 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 1: go to that Pond shop, Slim the Trucker. That's what's 685 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: the name of that show that Pond Stars? 686 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:38,359 Speaker 3: Right? 687 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,399 Speaker 1: Is that still on Pond Stars or did that get stars? Yeah, 688 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,760 Speaker 1: their store. There are actual stores right across from City 689 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 1: Hall in in Vegas, so those are something that's weird. 690 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,319 Speaker 3: Though you don't see any of the actors when you 691 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:52,280 Speaker 3: going to the store. 692 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 1: I wonder why, uh, Howard from Vegas speaking of that, 693 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:02,240 Speaker 1: Howard from Vegas rites in how about that? Aarondipity? He says, 694 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,879 Speaker 1: Ben and Danny. I know you guys are long long 695 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,440 Speaker 1: past the school age, but can you explain to me 696 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 1: why that twelve year old kid that went viral this 697 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 1: week decided to drive himself to school because he missed 698 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 1: the bus. That's from Howard. 699 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,800 Speaker 3: You're asking about a twelve year old driver. 700 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, You're asking the wrong guy. I found reasons 701 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 1: not to go to school, Danny. I hated going to school. 702 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,360 Speaker 1: I couldn't stand it. I was the fat kid that 703 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,719 Speaker 1: got picked on at school. I couldn't stand it. 704 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:34,359 Speaker 4: I hated it. 705 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: So the idea that you would miss the bus and 706 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 1: I took the bus, believe it or not. You know, 707 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 1: growing up in the Orange Groves of Orange County, I 708 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 1: took the bus to school, which blows me away when 709 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,359 Speaker 1: I think about it, but I did. Now my mom 710 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,400 Speaker 1: is so protective. But she's like, I get on the 711 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 1: school bus, who cares? And I was like in kindergarten 712 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,839 Speaker 1: taking the school bus anyway. Yeah, Like if I missed 713 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,399 Speaker 1: the bus, I'd be like, Okay, I'm gonna watch Bob 714 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,359 Speaker 1: Barker on the Rice is right, and I'm gonna watch 715 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: Bob Ross do some paintings on PBS because there's nothing 716 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 1: else on. And if I'm lucky, I'll remember to watch 717 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: Monty Hall on Let's make a Deal. And that was 718 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,160 Speaker 1: all we had. But yeah, that's why the twelve year 719 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,760 Speaker 1: old kid in North Carolina missed the bus and drove 720 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 1: himself to school. That is dedication that gets you get 721 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 1: some kind of award, is what he should get. Man. 722 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I got a bunch. 723 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:33,280 Speaker 3: Of other random pick one last good one. 724 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 1: All right?
