1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a 2 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants 3 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He 4 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto Cutter the same as the 5 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse the Clearinghouse of Hot 6 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 1: takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with 7 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 1: Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere and 8 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: welcome into a special addition of the Fifth Hour with 9 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: Ben Maller and Danny G Radio. As we have returned 10 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: to the podcast, do Joe and we are ready for 11 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: what I look forward to every week. Now. I'm not sure, 12 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: like what podcast gets the most downloads. Is it the 13 00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: Friday one with the interview? Is it The Saturday Life 14 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: of Mallard and Danny G? Or is it the mail Bag? 15 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 1: As you know, Danny, I just keep my head down 16 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: and keep marching on, hoping that the audience is there. 17 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: And you know, it's it's an odd thing that the Mailbag. 18 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: I like it because I don't really know what we're 19 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: gonna get on. The Mailbag literally is a mixed bag. 20 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: I've told you before. One of my favorite segments working 21 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: with you on the live show. Was asked Ben, because 22 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: I didn't know what to expect. I didn't know what 23 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: questions we're gonna come up. And then we would learn 24 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: something new about you and everybody on the crew. And 25 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: most of the time it was something humorous that we'd 26 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: all be laughing about later. Well, it might be romantic 27 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: or you know, and that's so sweet and hopefully not romantic. 28 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: Nobody wants to hear about that. That's true, That's definitely true. 29 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,559 Speaker 1: You can tell some story about how you save somebody 30 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: out of a burning car and the crowd went wild. 31 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: Would you run towards a burning car to help somebody? 32 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: You know? You don't know until you're in the moment. 33 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: I would like to think I would, depending on the 34 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: level of fire. Depending on the level of fire, yeah, 35 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: like smoke and you maybe you could see just a 36 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: little bit of flames starting by the engine. Yea, in 37 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: my head. I think we all have this and like 38 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: the cartoon bubble in our heads. Were the hero, right, 39 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: we run over just in the nick of time, We 40 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: pull the person out of the car, we get away, 41 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: and then when we get like thirty steps away, kaboom, 42 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: the thing explodes and and then we wake up and 43 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: we realize that's actually not what happened, that none of that, 44 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: none of that took place, and boom goes to dynamite. 45 00:02:45,800 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the mail bag. It's all right. 46 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: The first question on the mailbag comes from Kevin in Kansas. 47 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: He says, Dear Ben and Danny G. You both have 48 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: odd sleep schedules. What's the longest you've gone without sleep 49 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: and how un normal were you during that span or 50 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: did you actually function decently? That is from Kevin, our 51 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 1: buddy in Kansas who is a fellow teacher Danny G. 52 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: And So I trying to think the longest way, I 53 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: think it might have actually been when I had my 54 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: gall bladder issues because I couldn't sleep. I was so 55 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: uncomfortable that it was a nightmare. Uh So that might 56 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: have been it. Outside of that, when I was doing 57 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: that television stuff at NBC and I was traveling and 58 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: I had to get off the plane and immediately work. 59 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: But the problem I have is I sound like I'm drunk. 60 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: I start luring my words, which is when you're in 61 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: the business I'm in and you're in, Danny, that becomes problematic. 62 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: Except a lot of our favorite Mallard Militia members sound 63 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: that way. That is true, Yeah, you just sound like 64 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: the leader. Yeah. But as far as the number of 65 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: hours I without doing any kind of pharmaceuticals like Jet 66 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: who fled that some of the other people that call 67 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: the show, I would say, I've probably stayed up maybe 68 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: three days. I think is the is about the limit 69 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: on that. I've definitely done two days a lot where 70 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: I've gone over forty right around forty eight hours where 71 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: I have gone without sleep. So I've done that. But 72 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: I'm getting older now, Danny, we're both getting older. I 73 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: don't know how much that I can do anymore. I 74 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: need at least a few hours. I'm not a good sleeper, 75 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: but it's at least a few There were some nights 76 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: where I had to do the intricate parts of some projects. Now, 77 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: mind you, that's sixty kids, sixty different projects. So I 78 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: had the hot glue gun out here at home, and 79 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: I had like an assembly line on my kitchen table encounters. 80 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: I literally was up all night working on it, and 81 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: then showered, went to work, stayed up working all day, 82 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: got home. I love science. You know, I guess that's 83 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: doable because you don't sleep, You're up for two days whatever. 84 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: But when I first started the podcast with you and 85 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: I was moving here to where I'm at now, Ben, 86 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: there was a three day span where I was moving, 87 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: working at the network, working at the school, and I 88 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: literally did not sleep for three straight days. It was 89 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: just work, this shift, double shift, this move. And I 90 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: remember being in my old place in Burbank with my 91 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: eyes just bugged out. I've never done drugs like cocaine 92 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: or anything like that, but that would have been the 93 00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: time to start. I remember thinking to myself, how did 94 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: people do this back in the eighties, you know, where 95 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: they just worked around the clock and they never slept. 96 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: And then it occurred to me they did not do 97 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: it on their own. They didn't do it sober. Oh yeah, 98 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: I've heard stories about people we I think we know 99 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: some of the people who have done television in l 100 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: A who were skiing the mountains even when there was 101 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: no snow on the mountains. They were they were riding 102 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: the white Horse. Yes, yes, exactly, exactly so uh yeah, 103 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: But I've never done that stuff either. I mean, people 104 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: get blown away. I've I've talked about this also in 105 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: the past, but I I've never had a cup of coffee, 106 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: and I can't have it at this point because that 107 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: is my claim to fame, that is my conversation starter. 108 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: I have crossed the rubicon of age where I can 109 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: no longer discuss uh even having a cup of coffee 110 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: because it's off the table. And sushi, right, I've never 111 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: had sushi either, That is correct. I've never see. The 112 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: sushi part is amazing to me. The coffee, I kind 113 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: of get it because I don't exactly like the smell 114 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: of black coffee. Um, you know, I need like a 115 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: lot of creamer, I need a lot of sugar, I 116 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: need milk added. So I like the cold coffee. I 117 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: would drink a cold latte way before I would drink 118 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: any sort of hot coffee. So I kind of can 119 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: understand that. But never having sushi and you live in 120 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: southern California, that's just weird. I'm obviously weird. I'm in radio. 121 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: You know that you're not even a California roll. See, 122 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: that's like sushi par beginners. No, I've never. I've never. 123 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: I don't like fish. If I don't like fish when 124 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: it's cooked, why am I gonna eat sushi when it's not? 125 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: When it's not cooked. We forgot, by the way, to 126 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: mention our buddy ohio Aw. We thank ohio Aw. I 127 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: just kind of slid it. We slid into that without 128 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: giving him the proper credit. It's a bad job by us. 129 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: But Ohio aw came up with the the jingle great Ohio. 130 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: All the mail continues, it does not end. I got 131 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: mail yea, I got mail yea. The air from East 132 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: of the Rockies rights and he says, I am writing 133 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: in on the wild card line. He says, uh, I 134 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: like that. Three quick questions, Hey, why did you save 135 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: your bone breaking adventures for the Mallard Town podcast and 136 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: not your own? And he says, credit to the Aussie 137 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: guy for breaking the news. That's a great question, Pierre. 138 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: I don't know why that that ended up that way. 139 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: I never I never spent too much time, uh worried 140 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: about him. I just kind of, like I told, I 141 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: told the story with him, and I guess it just 142 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: didn't come up on the podcast. That's a bad job 143 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: by me. He also says, can you share the cautionary 144 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: tale of Ernie the Great oh Piner for the listeners. 145 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: He says he wants to know the details. Ernie was 146 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: you were on the show when Ernie was part of 147 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: the show, right, Danny there, and Ernie was a big, 148 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: big part of what we were doing and all that, 149 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: and he quit the show like he was like a 150 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 1: major contributor in the show. And Ernie was a great 151 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: fan of the show. And we had the Muppet remember 152 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: the Muppets account and and and actually Pierre is alf 153 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: the alien o Pineer and he was one of the 154 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: guys that started that. And Ernie was getting so upset 155 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: because he had Ernie from Burton Ernie as his avatar, 156 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: and he was so annoyed by all these other Muppet accounts. 157 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: It was hilarious, it was. But and that's part of 158 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: the reason he went away. Uh, And I don't I 159 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: don't think we're gonna hear from Ernie again. Unfortunately, I 160 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: think nothing. He's dead. I think he's moved on. But 161 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: it sucks if somebody quits your live show, it's almost 162 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: like a death. Yeah, these are people that are part 163 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: of our family. I agree with you. It's a weird 164 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: thing when they get traded, like like Chris and Houston, 165 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: who was like a nemesis from Houston. Chris, but he 166 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,559 Speaker 1: doesn't call anymore because he's on the dreaded day shift. 167 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: He's sold out for the day shift, and yah, you 168 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: miss him. You're like like, once in a while, I'd 169 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 1: like to have a nice conversation with Chris so I 170 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: could bust his balls about the Astros, the cheating as astros. 171 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: Uh and Pierre also says, is Fullerton west of the 172 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 1: four oh five? Asking for a friend, he says, uh no, 173 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: uh no, no, no, it is west Uh it's actually 174 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: east of the five, although I think the five goes 175 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: through part of Fullerton west of Fashion Island. Yes, yes, 176 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: that is uh let's it's not anyway, I thank you 177 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,839 Speaker 1: for that. Next up, Ironically enough, I don't know how 178 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: this worked out. Come back, pay a touch. It's time 179 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: from now. I'll call Mike from Fullerton rights and he says, 180 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: has USC and U c l A joining the Big 181 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: Ten made you feel any different now that southern California 182 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: is part of the Big ten country. It took me 183 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: a while to adjust, but I'm really starting to appreciate 184 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: these Midwestern values since Mike from Fullerton. Yeah, when I 185 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: was driving through Westwood this week to get to the 186 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: Fox Sports radio studios, I was I took the dreaded 187 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 1: four oh five to get over the hill and through 188 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: bel air and all that nonsense. And so I'm driving 189 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: and I'm looking at the u c l A Campus. 190 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, I can't believe they get snow here. 191 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: That's what it's gonna be wild. It's absolutely crazy. And 192 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 1: I wonder what the U c A Hockey team is 193 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: gonna be And when they take on Wisconsin in Michigan, 194 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be cool, right man. Uh. And then 195 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: Mike also says he's adding a few more to his 196 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: interview wish list, and he's got Ralph Lawler, Don McLean, 197 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: Jose Mode uh, and Donald Trump. He says Danny g 198 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: has his number, and he says last, but certainly least 199 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: Brian Finley's on the list. So out of that list, 200 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: not that we do list podcasting, but Ralph Lawler I 201 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: believe will be on the podcast at some point. I'm 202 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 1: friends with Ralph. He's retired now, he's he spend part 203 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: of his time in Oregon, part of his time in Florida. 204 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: But the reason I believe he'll come on the podcast, 205 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 1: Danny he's got a book. Yeah, the books coming out, 206 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: so he'll be on the pimp his book, and I 207 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: actually want to read the book. He's gonna tell Sterling stories, 208 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: stories about Donald Sterling, his time with the Clippers, obviously 209 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: his life. And so hopefully we'll get him on at 210 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: some point. I know, I know all these guys except Trumps, 211 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: Don McClean I know from the Petrols and Money Show, 212 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: and Don I when he played in the NBA years 213 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: ago and all that. He's been around forever, So hopefully 214 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: we get him on. And Jose Moda known known Jose 215 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: for for many many years. Also casually, you know we're 216 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: not best friends. Then would this be a good time 217 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: to vent for a minute about Brian Billick? Is it now? 218 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: Can we officially put the cover of the coffin down 219 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: and say that's it? We're done? Are we at that point? Though? 220 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: I would like to because on a previous podcast we 221 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: joked around, because we jumped through all these hoops with 222 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,719 Speaker 1: Brian Billick and his representative to get him on as 223 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: a guest on the podcast Brian bill Brian Billick, they 224 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: said yes to the interview, and then through email only, 225 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: they would not give me cell phone numbers except we 226 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: had one cell phone number. Remember that said this isn't 227 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: Brian's phone anymore. Oh that's right, yes, yes, And I 228 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: got that number from somebody who that was the number 229 00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: that was Brian Billick pretended like his cell phone number 230 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: wasn't his cell phone number. And in that text message, 231 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: which was very odd, he said, Brian Billick doesn't use 232 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: this cell phone anymore. You need to get ahold of 233 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 1: his rep. And he gave the reps name and I'm like, well, 234 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: if Brian doesn't use this phone anymore, how would this 235 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: person know who Brian Billicks rep is. So I'm like, okay, whatever, 236 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: I'll play your stupid game. Brian Billick. I've been emailing 237 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: back and forth with his rep. This is just amazing 238 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: to me because back and forth, I'm talking ten emails.

I was there 311 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: for like a week years ago for a World Series 312 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: and I've not been back, so that would be That 313 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: would be great.

Over 315 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: the last three years, a lot of people left California. 316 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: Many of them have gone not just to Miami, but 317 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: Orlando and you name it, the Gulf Coast region where 318 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: the what they call the redneck rivieria, I believe is 319 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: the term some friends that are there. Uh. Neil also 320 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: says pro tip for you and the Mallard militia. Best 321 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: time to go to Miami is the end of the 322 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: hurricane season, which is from Halloween when they have a 323 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: Freaky Fantasy Fest and then followed by festival after festival, 324 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 1: including some food festivals like seafood so you can pick 325 00:19:55,240 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: your own poison. That's great advice. Yeah, And that's a 326 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: good time to go anyway, because the weather in Miami 327 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: is always pretty much the same.

My wife's 357 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 1: got a friend in Portland and we were talking about 358 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: going up there and visiting her and her kid and 359 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: all that. Uh. And I want to get back to Minnesota. 360 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 1: I was so close in Wisconsin, and I learned that 361 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: people from Minnesota do not cross the Wisconsin Minnesota border. 362 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: It's a point of demarcation. It's apparently the people in 363 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: Wisconsin hate the people in Minnesota and vice versa. They 364 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 1: think the other state is like a demilitarized zone. So 365 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: I had a meet and greet in Appleton, and we 366 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: had all these listeners in Minnesota like, oh yeah, I'm 367 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: gonna drive over it's a long drive, but I want 368 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: to meet you. And then nobody showed up from Minnesota, 369 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: but I we we do so well there on the 370 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 1: radio show. I really would love to meet a bunch 371 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: of the big fans of the show that listen on 372 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,199 Speaker 1: on CAFAN. One of the great sports talkers in the country, 373 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: and it's very cool that they carry the overnight show. 374 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 1: So I'd love to go in there and go to 375 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: some juicy lucy place. And if you're one of our 376 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: p ones and you know a restaurant in Minnesota, like 377 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: the reason I picked a Latin Fusion restaurant in Appleton 378 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 1: because I was a friend of the family and so 379 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: I it's much easier to do these things if you 380 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: end up knowing someone or you have somebody's a fan 381 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: of the show at the restaurant. Uh. There has been 382 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: some talk of a Mallard meet and greet sometime in 383 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: August at a I cannot reveal the location yet, that's 384 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: not finalized, so I don't want to say anything about 385 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 1: it to jinx it Um. But to answer your question again, 386 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: Tony Minnesota, possibly Portland's and that's that's about it. But 387 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: whether I get to any of those places I can't 388 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: can't say, what do you like? Burn it down? Like Bakersfield? 389 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 1: How dare you that stadium still there although it should 390 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: be burnt down? I will say that Chris and Marracoca 391 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: to Iowa, Right, since it's you and Danny G should 392 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: start watching a TV series together and you can discuss 393 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: the weekly episode on the pod. Yeah. I don't know 394 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: that I have enough time, neither to you Danny, with 395 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 1: our crazy schedules to dedicate every week to watch an episode. 396 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: But from I'm the time I I did this with 397 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 1: with Gascon back in the day west of the four 398 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: oh five, where if there was a cool documentary or something, 399 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,239 Speaker 1: and we could both watch it and give our like 400 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: book report or movie review like Siskel and Ebert, there's 401 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: an outdated reference thumbs up or thumbs down, you know, 402 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: on the on the documentary. Have you been watching the 403 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: Jeter documentary? God? No, I'm not a Yankee fan, and 404 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: I I don't want to overdose on athlete worship, so 405 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 1: I've not I've not checked it out. I have heard, 406 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 1: I've heard some things. The Yankee fans, of course love it. 407 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: They think it's the greatest thing ever. But I'm not 408 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: a Yankees fan by any means, But I like it. 409 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 1: But I like most sports documentaries. Yeah, like I'm I'm 410 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: hit and miss on the sports documentary thing, like some 411 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: of them. I love the one about the baseball cards. 412 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 1: I thought was fascinating. But I'm on the age of 413 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: where I grew up in that world, so I see that. 414 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, man, well I was. I was a 415 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: Mark and they took advantage of me as a kid. 416 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: Rat bastards. Me and my older brother. Man, I've told 417 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 1: you before paper Chase, our goal in life was to 418 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 1: get some little bit of coin and get our butts 419 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: to paper Chase to buy some more plastic sheets. Oh yeah, 420 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 1: I got a whole wing filled with cards and I 421 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: still have to get rid of. But a part of 422 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: me's like, no, it's nostalgia. But then the other part 423 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:25,919 Speaker 1: of me is taking up space. I gotta get rid 424 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 1: of this stuff. What a pain in the behind. That was? 425 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: All right, let's keep it going on the mailbag. Next 426 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 1: up is Mark. He says, how did Marcel completely fool you? Ben? 427 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: That dude is the biggest fake ever. Ben. He's making 428 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: you look really weird, Ben? Is that really him? On Twitter? Yeah? Yeah, 429 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: that's Marcel. I didn't know he was black, not to 430 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: sound like that famous Ben Mallard drop. Famous man. I 431 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: don't know if you know this, but I'm black. That's right. That. 432 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,360 Speaker 1: Oh that was the guy that sounded like Bill Cosby. 433 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,640 Speaker 1: I used to Arizona have that drop in my hard drive. Here. 434 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: Hey man, you might not notice, but I'm black. Yeah. 435 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: He just readily starts and it was hilarious. Marcel is 436 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: African American, and uh, all these people think we're getting punked. 437 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: And he's a character. And this is another one of 438 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: those cases where Danny people seem to think we have 439 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: a much bigger budget than we do and that we're 440 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: much more creative than we are. Neither one of those 441 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: things is true, because Marcel is a kid who lives 442 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: in the projects in Brooklyn. I've said it before. We'll 443 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: say it again for those of you that haven't heard. 444 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: Marcel's got issues. He's got problems. He loves the radio. 445 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 1: It's his outlet to the world. He doesn't get out 446 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: of his home, he doesn't see the world. He's stuck 447 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: in this little apartment in Brooklyn, and Uncle Dynamite comes 448 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:05,360 Speaker 1: by and gives him food and and so there's only 449 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: a couple of things he eats. But Marcel, for him, 450 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 1: this is like the greatest thing in the world that 451 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: he gets to be on the radio. And he likes 452 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: being a character. From what I can tell, he likes 453 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: being a character on the show, and he likes to 454 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: play along with us and all that and so. But 455 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 1: he's not somebody we're paying and he's not punking us. 456 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: I've trust me. It's his version of Ham Radio, big 457 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: antenna on his roof, and he's reaching out to everybody 458 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: around the country. Yeah, he's in his own little world 459 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: and it's he's on the Internet and he's able to 460 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,679 Speaker 1: call our show. He's a He was a correspondent on 461 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 1: the Big JAB in Maine in Portland, Maine, I think 462 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: the PM JAB, but I mean it was the AM JAB. 463 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: One of the more either the AM or the PM 464 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: show they had him on. And he's my favorite is 465 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: when he contacts Australian news anchors like he somehow tracked 466 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: them down. So it's weird because he's he's got some 467 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,120 Speaker 1: mental issues, but he's able to find these these broadcasters 468 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,959 Speaker 1: and and so in some parts of his his mind, Okay, 469 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:11,199 Speaker 1: he's a savant when it comes to investigative reporting. He 470 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 1: is the man that broke the Titanic, that the Titanic 471 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 1: could hit the iceberg. Nobody else had reported that as 472 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: breaking news. I heard that that morning breaking news sounder 473 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: the Titanic sunk. He hasn't fallen for that ruse much anymore. So. 474 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: I think he has figured out that when somebody sends 475 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: him a breaking news story, you might want to double 476 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: check it. You might want to check into a little more, 477 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: all right. Next up on the you know what You've got? 478 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: Mail mail back, Mr Luciano from Southgate and Sokel says, 479 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: this question is for Ben and Danny. G Are you 480 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: guys exciting that the NFL is almost back? And how 481 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: much betting, if any? Will you guys do?

So 484 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: we'll pick every game against the spread as far as 485 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: the games were actually gonna bet, I'm gonna I'm gonna 486 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: pick my spots as I usually do. I don't bet 487 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,479 Speaker 1: every game. You shouldn't bet every game. But if I 488 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: got a pretty good vibe on a team or a 489 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: player that going into a game, I will obviously bet it, 490 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: but I usually only bet. I try to bet three 491 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: games a weekend, sometimes five, but I try to keep 492 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 1: it to three and if perfect scenario would be only 493 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: one and just let it roll. If you have, really 494 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: it's it's hard enough to win one game, and then 495 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: you gotta win two out of three, or three out 496 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: of five or four out of seven, or if you 497 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: do a parlay, you gotta win them all, which is 498 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: a pain in thee or a teaser pains. But yeah, 499 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,479 Speaker 1: we're obviously excited. Mr. You knew we're excited. Man. I 500 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: saw a video the other day of Car throwing a 501 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: long past two Adams in double coverage and him snatching it, 502 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: and I stood up Ben and celebrated as if it 503 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 1: was a tough down in the regular season. Now, are 504 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: you gonna make the pilgrimage to Vegas for Are they 505 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: having any opening, any open practices at that massive air 506 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: hanger radar facility that I drove by last time I 507 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: was in Vague. That's a good question. I've been so 508 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: busy between the network and school that no, I haven't 509 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: even looked into it. The prices are astronomical, Like Disneyland. 510 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: I did the stadium tour, but I haven't been there 511 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: for a game yet, So I'm gonna try to go 512 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: this season for one game. Now, is it a regular 513 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: season game or an exhibition? Which one are you? I 514 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: would rather go to a meaningful game like in in 515 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: the middle of the season or down the stretch. I 516 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: would rather go sometime in November or December, all right, 517 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: So I'm looking at the secondary market. I just punched 518 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: it up on my computer here in the studio, and 519 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: I have are you sitting down? Are you YEA? Which 520 00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: game were you thinking of? Should I just go through 521 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: all the games? Or you want me to pick one 522 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: or two that you're thinking about. I go towards the 523 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: middle of the season, so you're looking like October November 524 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 1: something like seven, the week twelve, all right, So after 525 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 1: the bye week, so the Raiders will be rested. They 526 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: have their bye week. In week six, the Raiders will 527 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: play the Houston Texas. Now the Texans are a dog 528 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: food team. That game will cost you their tickets as 529 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: low if you want to sit near the purly gates 530 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: for a hundred and fifty two dollars okay with an 531 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: oxygen mask voll setor the Indianapolis Colts will visit November. 532 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: That's week ten. Oh, that's gonna be pricey. It's a 533 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy one bucks for the cheaper that's not 534 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: too bad, I guess. But for something good. What's a 535 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: good ticket costs for that? Oh boy, lower bowl right 536 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: at the fifty yard line behind the Colts bench. Yeah, 537 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: that's gonna cost you minimum one thousand and fifty three dollars. 538 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: Now all I say now in the end zone is 539 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 1: still expensive. Section one oh one at Allegian Stadium three 540 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 1: hundred eleven dollars, still very pricey. But you are in 541 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: the lower bowl, so that would be six plus for 542 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: a pair. Yeah. Yeah, there's a reason they made the 543 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 1: most money off of tickets last season. Oh yeah, and 544 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: that's a destination situation. People are dying Jones. And again, 545 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: let's see the the cheapest ticket. Where is the cheapest Wow, 546 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 1: this is this compelling podcasting. The cheapest ticket is at 547 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 1: the hotel across the street with the binoculars. The funny 548 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: thing about that, the cheapest I'm looking at all the 549 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: games for the Raiders, the cheapest ticket. This is surprising 550 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: to me. Well, no, no, it's not. That makes sense 551 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 1: raiders stealers in pits Burg. But the reason it's the 552 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: cheapest ticket it's Christmas Eve, Saturday, December Christmas Eve is 553 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:14,479 Speaker 1: the people are busy with family dollar ticket, so you 554 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: could probably fly to pitch. It would be cheaper to 555 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: fly to Pittsburgh and see that game and fly back home. 556 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: You are damn right. I went down a rabbit hole. 557 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 1: Here's what happened. Uh, next time we all watched you 558 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: go on YouTube. I know, I know, I'm like, what 559 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 1: is what the hell is? This falls fan Jimmy Wrights 560 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: and from Big Orange Country. He says for both of you, 561 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: in your opinion, why is college football so much more 562 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: popular in the South then on the West coast? Myself, 563 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 1: I would walk to Knoxville. I would rather walk to 564 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 1: Knoxville than drive to Nashville. Who is your favorite college 565 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 1: football team? Well, it's it's just really a product of 566 00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: the way I read that college football is. Popularity in 567 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 1: the South is provincial, and people in the West are 568 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: There's a lot of transient people that have moved from 569 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 1: other parts and so they might like college football, but 570 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: they're fans of whatever school they came from. And in 571 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: the South, I just feel like, it's more people that 572 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: are that are locked in and loaded, that are from 573 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,879 Speaker 1: their generations of families and things like that, and they 574 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:29,800 Speaker 1: grew up fans of Alabama or Auburn, Georgia, L s U, 575 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 1: whoever it might be, and just just keep it going. Uh, Danny, 576 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 1: any theory on the love of college football in the South, 577 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: I would tend to agree with what you just said, 578 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 1: because like Clay Travis, for instance, his grandfather played for Tennessee. 579 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 1: And you hear that a lot a lot of guys 580 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,720 Speaker 1: that I met when I visited Tennessee, their family history 581 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 1: runs deep like that with whatever school, whether it be 582 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: Auburn or Tennessee, they have family ties. I don't have 583 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,280 Speaker 1: that here in California. My family spread out. One person 584 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 1: went to Santa Cruz, one person went to U C. Davis, 585 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 1: one person went to school in the o C. It's 586 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,919 Speaker 1: so spread out for us here that we just don't 587 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 1: have that family tie the way people do in the South. Yeah. 588 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 1: Now that being said, if U C. L A and 589 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 1: USC both have good football teams, it's popping at the 590 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,479 Speaker 1: colisseum of the Rose Bowl for sure. When's the last 591 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: time that happened where they both had good Bush Bush. 592 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: It's been a long time. When USC was going off 593 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: with Liner and Bush, I remember people crowding the sports 594 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,279 Speaker 1: bars here. Oh, it was massive I at that time, 595 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 1: and I I was around those USC teams when Pete 596 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: Carroll was there and I was in an elevator, was 597 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 1: Spike Lee and Rick Fox who was still playing at 598 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 1: the time. They were in the end, and I want 599 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: to point out Spike Lee looked at me like he 600 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,319 Speaker 1: thought I was gonna mug him and kill him. And 601 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,839 Speaker 1: when the when the elevator doors ows, there's a thing 602 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 1: when you're a celebrity you don't like being in an 603 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 1: elevator with other strangers. And he Spike Lee. I can 604 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,320 Speaker 1: still close my eyes on the look that he gave 605 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,319 Speaker 1: me in the elevator at the Polissey And before they 606 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 1: renovated it, you thought you were debot from Friday. Why 607 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,520 Speaker 1: are you in here my bike? You're not supposed to 608 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,880 Speaker 1: be an area and all that stuff. Carlos in Bang 609 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,360 Speaker 1: Bang Houston says, hey, Ben, good job in installing the 610 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 1: Mallard riddle into the show. I love hearing the funny 611 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 1: answers from the Mallem militia. Also, I'm an Astros fan, 612 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 1: and I enjoy listening to you every day. So you 613 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: can't really say the Astros fans don't like well, I 614 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,319 Speaker 1: could say that Carls. I can say that not all 615 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 1: Astro fans dislike me, but many do, and it's still 616 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 1: blows me away. We were on seven ninety in Houston, 617 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 1: which is the Astros radio station. So every once in 618 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 1: a while, all of the stars will aligned Danny and 619 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: Astro Talk will end and my show will come on, 620 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 1: our show will come on, and I will be in 621 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 1: the middle of the rant the cheating astro's and did 622 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: you have it take? Did you get to go rail 623 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,880 Speaker 1: on Jose Altuve conveniently being hit by a pitch so 624 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:19,440 Speaker 1: that he didn't have to come here to the All 625 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,319 Speaker 1: Star Game in l A. Yeah, that's now two years 626 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 1: in a row, I believe it is. And because in 627 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 1: he there was no All Star Game, so at least 628 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 1: three years he's avoided the All Star Game. But this 629 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,439 Speaker 1: was the big one in in l A. And and 630 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 1: the only cheating Astro that was there was Joe Musgrave 631 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,759 Speaker 1: or Musgrove rather the Padres. But that doesn't people. Once 632 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,960 Speaker 1: you change the laundry, they kind of forget about forever, 633 00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 1: Jose Altuve will be booed, correct, Bregman, George Springer and 634 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 1: Toronto should be booed everywhere he goes all those cats. Uh, 635 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 1: Carlos says, My question is, do you guys like the 636 00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:01,359 Speaker 1: flat build hats or the curved build hats? Keep up 637 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:05,239 Speaker 1: the great work. And so I'm a curve guy. I 638 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 1: like much like my women, I like curves. I'm a 639 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:12,479 Speaker 1: fan of the curves. And uh, what about I'm looking 640 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 1: at the hat you're wearing. You appear to be team curve. Also, 641 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,720 Speaker 1: this was a hybrid, and I kind of like those 642 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 1: the ones that are a cross between the flat and 643 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 1: the curve. They're not quite curved down all the way. 644 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 1: Those those ones that are curved down too much, I'm 645 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,160 Speaker 1: not a fan of. And most of the totally flat 646 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,359 Speaker 1: bills don't look right on your head because they'll pop up, 647 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,840 Speaker 1: they'll do a wheelie.

I believe the Big ten 657 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 1: comes back and starts poaching some more teams from the 658 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: the Pack twelve. And if I was a betting man, 659 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,680 Speaker 1: which i am, I would look to northern California. You 660 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 1: you go by the media market, it's all about eyeballs, 661 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 1: It's all about qum, as we say in the radio business. 662 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 1: And so San Francisco, Stanford the private school, Cal the 663 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 1: state school, and get that market covered. Although Stanford has 664 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,840 Speaker 1: been good at football that last couple of years, I 665 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,960 Speaker 1: feel like that that program has gone the wrong direction. 666 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,560 Speaker 1: But they were very good for a number of years. 667 00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,640 Speaker 1: Cal hasn't been good more than a couple of years 668 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:56,759 Speaker 1: my entire life at football. But it's the market. But 669 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,400 Speaker 1: if you if you're just going by raw power, you'd say, 670 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 1: if they could skip Cal goes Stanford and then the 671 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 1: Oregon football program because of the Nike money, yeah that 672 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,520 Speaker 1: would be one. But what do you think, Danny about 673 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 1: teams that are gonna ditch the Pack twelve for another conference. Uh. 674 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,759 Speaker 1: I don't know about ditching that conference, but I think 675 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,960 Speaker 1: the next major move that will rock the world will 676 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,440 Speaker 1: be Notre Dame finally picking aside. Well, they gotta go 677 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,799 Speaker 1: big ten though, right, That's what I would assume, And 678 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,080 Speaker 1: if Notre Dame went Big ten, then talk about a 679 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 1: super conference that would end the USC Notre Dame thing 680 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:35,719 Speaker 1: every year anyway, though they wouldn't be able to hear 681 00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,840 Speaker 1: from in the same conference unless they just said, screw it, 682 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 1: We'll make up our own rules as we go. They 683 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 1: would have to do that, right, because at that point 684 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,799 Speaker 1: they throw everything out the window. Yeah. God, that that 685 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:51,880 Speaker 1: would be. That would be something touchdown. Jesus would be 686 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,439 Speaker 1: very unhappy with that. I think it would be bed 687 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 1: Lum speaking of a bar area is Steve in San 688 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 1: Francisco Rights, and he says, did you see this story 689 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 1: been about the lockness monster. I want to know your 690 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,759 Speaker 1: thoughts that you and Danny g Yeah, this was the 691 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 1: story the other day, Danny we mentioned it briefly on 692 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,160 Speaker 1: the show. I guess Steve was not listening that scientists 693 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:19,400 Speaker 1: now are saying the existence of the lock nest monster 694 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 1: is plausible because they found some fossils that they believe 695 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,359 Speaker 1: indicate that that is a thing. So yeah, but that's 696 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 1: one of those things. I grew up when I was 697 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,080 Speaker 1: a kid with the Lockness Monster, and then I learned 698 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,440 Speaker 1: later on, although there's no such thing as the Lockness 699 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:40,719 Speaker 1: Monster bogus. So yeah, I think why not? People have 700 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,600 Speaker 1: seen that thing for years? I think that in Bigfoot, 701 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 1: let's let's have all these things be real. Yeah, why 702 00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:52,400 Speaker 1: couldn't the Lockness Monster be a leftover dinosaur? Your tortoises 703 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,719 Speaker 1: on Earth that have been alive for hundred and eighty 704 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 1: five years? The Yeah, the blue whale? Right, how long 705 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 1: has the blue whale been around? So it's not outside 706 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,359 Speaker 1: of the realm of possibility that there could be some 707 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:09,280 Speaker 1: sort of dinosaur like that left on earth. Yeah, Maddie 708 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,479 Speaker 1: in Boston writes, and he says, hey, Benn and Danny Gee, 709 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,400 Speaker 1: any chance you guys can bring the animal Thunderdome? Is 710 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,239 Speaker 1: that what you called it? Annimal Thunderdome? Oh? If he 711 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:20,879 Speaker 1: wants to, he wants to have that on this show. 712 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,839 Speaker 1: He said, well, actually, I heart our bosses have been 713 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 1: working on making that a podcast for months and months 714 00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:30,959 Speaker 1: and months and months. Oh is that are you gonna 715 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,799 Speaker 1: hosting if it happens. Yeah, it is something that they've 716 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:38,000 Speaker 1: been trying to put together behind the scenes. Now, can 717 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:43,360 Speaker 1: you find enough animal stories every week? Shockingly yes, because 718 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,520 Speaker 1: there's a lot of stupid people that do a lot 719 00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:50,400 Speaker 1: of stupid things around animals. I still have listeners tweet 720 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:55,240 Speaker 1: animal stories to me weekly, so there are some weeks 721 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,400 Speaker 1: that are, you know, busier than others. But yeah, we 722 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,799 Speaker 1: used to do that on OutKick the Coverage once a 723 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,520 Speaker 1: week and there were plenty of stories. Yeah, Maddie says 724 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:06,880 Speaker 1: he he sent a link here to a story about 725 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,600 Speaker 1: I guess in South Africa there were some lions that 726 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:15,200 Speaker 1: ate a crocodile, a pack of pride of lions attack. 727 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,680 Speaker 1: I saw that. I saw that. Yeah, there was that 728 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 1: elderly lady recently who fell into the water and a 729 00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 1: guy jumped in trying to save her and the alligator 730 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:29,279 Speaker 1: eight or oh oh yeah, and what a way to 731 00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 1: go right alligator food? Yeah, that's man, like, how long 732 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,239 Speaker 1: are you alive while it's eating you? That's got a 733 00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,880 Speaker 1: shitty way to die. Well, you're feeling pain and then that, 734 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 1: yet you're feeling nothing after a while. Man, that's nuts. 735 00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,799 Speaker 1: I think we'll get out of there. On that note, 736 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,919 Speaker 1: that wonderful note. Well, animals choke out? Could you choke 737 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,719 Speaker 1: out a crocodile bed if one came after you? No? 738 00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,360 Speaker 1: I always thought you had to run in a zigzag 739 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,560 Speaker 1: line because they can't can't deal with the zig zag 740 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,319 Speaker 1: They get off balance. Yeah, it's hard for them to 741 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,440 Speaker 1: shift their body that quickly. If it was right up 742 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 1: in your face, though, would you just give it a 743 00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,839 Speaker 1: good sock? And its nose? I guess it's not a nose. 744 00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,040 Speaker 1: What is it? I don't know what is that called? 745 00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 1: Is it a snout? What is that on a crocodile? 746 00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,719 Speaker 1: The snout the mouth? I don't know. I call a 747 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:26,520 Speaker 1: snout with sharp te Imagine how shocked the crocodile is 748 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,439 Speaker 1: though when the lion eats it, Because the crocodile must 749 00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:33,920 Speaker 1: think it's invincible, and then it gets eaten by the lion. 750 00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:36,520 Speaker 1: And then that's what they call it. The king of 751 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,719 Speaker 1: the jungle. What they call it the king? All right, 752 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,239 Speaker 1: we'll get out of here.
