I did want 19 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: to start though with this. We've got Tiger Blood's brother 20 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: from a different mother, the Celebrity Matrix, But I wanted 21 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: to start with last night's NFL game as I was 22 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: flipping at the beginning of the baseball game, and I 23 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: was watching baseball all day, so you don't have to 24 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: watch baseball. That is my dedication to do the talk show. 25 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: I watch a bunch of baseball. I always have it 26 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: on the background, and I'm paying attention and I'm futzing 27 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: around with my laptop. I got my phone out. I'm 28 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: doing a lot of different things. It's called the multitasking. 29 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: I tell the wife, I'm spending lots of plates, lots 30 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: of plates. So with that being said, I'm watching the 31 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: Yankees in the Red Sox first couple of innings. There's 32 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: not much going on, and I'm flipping over the football game, 33 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: and I love my al Michaels. You know, I'm going 34 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: back and forth, and like, the Niners just came out 35 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: out and kicked the Rams ass in that Thursday night. 36 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: Came at the beginning of the game. They were clearly 37 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 1: the better team. And I'm still recovering from the way 38 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: the game ended, where the Rams actually lost the game twice, 39 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: once in regulation. Then they got a reprieve from the 40 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: forty nine ers, but they pretty much lost to give 41 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: Kyrie Williams fumbling with a little over a minute to 42 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: go inside the five yard line, and then the Rams 43 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: got the ball back in overtime after the Niners had 44 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: gotten a field goal because of that Fugezi special teams 45 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 1: play and I don't need to readjudicate the game. The 46 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: Rams drove down the field. I have no problem with 47 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: Sean McVay going for it, but man, the Rams. They 48 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: have now gagged away two games, the Eagles game and 49 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers game. No longer riding high. Sean 50 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: McVay has stinkeye. That is a low water mark for 51 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,239 Speaker 1: the Rams. And we handicapped the game on Beni versus 52 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: De Penny. Some of you idiots have been sending memo, 53 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: well you got it, Wrongs are gonna win by at 54 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: least ten points. I can't believe that. Oh my god, 55 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: you were so bad about you. Okay, listen, the handicapping 56 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: was on point. The handicapping is on point. What you 57 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: do is you base your opinion based on what has 58 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: happened and the way teams have looked and the way 59 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: they are performing and the injury report. You put all 60 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: these different variables in. It's like making a stew You 61 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: put in the carrots. You got to put in the 62 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: other vegetables. You got to put some chicken in there. 63 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: Whatever you put in your stew, you got to put 64 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: it in. So we handicap the game. And then that's 65 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: why they play the games. The Rams did not show up. 66 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: How are you supposed to handicap whether or not a 67 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: team is going to be motivated. It always fascinates me 68 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: when there are some teams that go out there every 69 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: single week. They got a little spunk in them, right, 70 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: they a little spunk in there. There's other teams that 71 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: just don't give a damn. They have the I don't 72 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: give an f attitude and the forty nine ers, I 73 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: give him credit. You know, it's the old line from 74 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: that guy, David Bennett, the Coastal Carolina coach, like be 75 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: a dog. We don't need no miows, all right, we 76 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: don't need no cats. We need more dogsf earf and 77 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: the Niners were hungry, hungry hippos, they were. They had 78 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: a little spunk. The guys that played took advantage of it, 79 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: and the and the Rams just did not match that, 80 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: and yet still had a chance to win the game. 81 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: And with a little more imagination they would have been there. 82 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: They I mean. The fact they had to jump start 83 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: the team though and find some kind of spark at 84 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: the beginning is in embarrassing. They went a wall in 85 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: the first half. Mac Jones hasn't looked that good since 86 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: he was back in Tuscaloosa. Holy crap. Forty nine ers 87 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: backup quarterback. And now, if you want to help me out, 88 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: by the way, subscribe to the YouTube channel for Benny 89 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: Versus the Penny YouTube dot slash at Benny versus the Penny. 90 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: Do me a solid, help me out on that.

So we're doing this. We're fussing around with 96 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: this and so we were trying to build the viewership, 97 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: viewership up and it isn't it exciting to watch this 98 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: thing grow from nothing to something. We'd love for it 99 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 1: at some point to be a monster. Man, would that 100 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: be cool. But we're doing it brick by brick, step 101 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 1: by step. I'm not sweating over it. I'm letting you 102 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: know it's available. If you want the product, you can 103 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: have the product.

I learned that in that nineteen eighties 107 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: baseball movie If you build it, he will come. Well, 108 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: in this case, you will come. And why the channel 109 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: today is also National Body Language Day. Yeah, body language, 110 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: which surprisingly I did not think I would need to 111 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: know body language getting into sports talk radio. However, that 112 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: has become a pretty good tool as a talk show 113 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 1: host when you read the room because a lot of 114 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: times the people involved in sports they don't say anything. 115 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: They you know, they're locked up and they don't they 116 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: don't mess around with verbal communications. So you can tell, 117 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: like you watch, it's just a lot in basketball, a 118 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: little bit in football on the sidelines, even in baseball. 119 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: You eye rolls, the slouching shoulders, the poudy lips, crossing arms, 120 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: the bad posture, like all that stuff. There's like these 121 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: little tells, these little little things where you know you're 122 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: gonna have the icon Clint Eastwood, you know, the death glare, 123 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: all of that wonderful stuff. And so it's National Body 124 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: Language Day, a day to celebrate the form of communication, 125 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: which is all about physical behavior, facial expressions, posture, gestures, 126 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: eye movement, touch and all that. Now, it is interesting 127 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: to know that smiles can be deceptive. There are over 128 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: nineteen different ways, over nineteen different ways one can smile. However, 129 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: according to the people that study this, these scientists believe 130 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: there's only six that are for happiness. So there's thirteen 131 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: smiles that don't mean happy. Who goofed. I've got to know. 132 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: Eye contact can be good if it's the beautiful person 133 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: you're trying to hook up with, or it can be bad. 134 00:07:53,520 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: Unbroken eye contact is considered aggressive confrontational. Now, this is 135 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: based on different regions of the country, like in Asia, Africa, 136 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: Latin American countries. Unbroken eye contact is you're being you know, 137 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: you're being too pushy. Don't be pushy, don't do the 138 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: tushery pushy, don't do it. There's also a factoid about 139 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: the difference between men and women. And you know, typically 140 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: men tend to touch their faces when they feel uncomfortable, 141 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: where women will choose to touch their necks, their jewelry, 142 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: or their hair. There's also if a you know, if 143 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: you're dating, and I was married, but if you're dating. 144 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: I heard this years ago that women if they're really 145 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: kind of into the person they're with, like they're flirtatious, 146 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: they'll play with their hair while they're you know, kind 147 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: of kind of chatting and all that. Like that's supposedly 148 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: a dead giveawaya giveaway, that's a tael. That's a taell. 149 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: You don't need to be altola. And when people tilt 150 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: their heads they come across as more attractive some and yeah, 151 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: and holding your arms behind your back. I remember rush 152 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: Limba had one arm tied behind my back. But holding 153 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: your arms behind your back indicates that you don't want 154 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: to be approached. Do not approach me. I can't have 155 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: to do that more. I'm gonna have to leave my 156 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: arms behind my back so people don't bother me. Flipping 157 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: the page on that it's story time on the fifth 158 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: hour podcast story Time. So I was watching recently the 159 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: Netflix documentary about a fallen Hollywood star and reminded of 160 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: that great era about fifteen years ago, when Charlie Sheen 161 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: once proclaimed that he had tiger blood. The phrase that 162 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: belonged to the early twenty tens, in the same way 163 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: that BlackBerry phones day. If you're old enough to remember 164 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: BlackBerry phones and frosted tips, which you look at the 165 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: phrase tiger blood. Tiger blood brash, absurd, kind of perfect, 166 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: kind of perfect for a drugged out Charlie Sheen. Tiger 167 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: blood was supposed to mean vitality, power, living on a 168 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: manic cliff where the rest of us mere mortals dared 169 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: not tread. But here in twenty twenty five your favorite 170 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: radio gas bag. Well for some overnight rock on tour. 171 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: That sounds impressive. Well, I happen to be a brother 172 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: from a different mother to Charlie Sheen in spirit, if 173 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: not genetics. Now, I don't have tiger blood. I do 174 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: not have tiger blood. I don't I checked in. I 175 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: don't have tiger blood. However, I have my own version, 176 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: which is like a spinoff version of tiger Blood. It's 177 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: Mosquito Blood. Mather's Mosquito Blood. It's the cheap knockoff. Now 178 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: you can buy it if you go to CBS in 179 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: the back shelf of CBS on the right hand side. 180 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: It's tucked behind the bug spray. It's on that aisle 181 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: and there's a little container right there at CBS, and 182 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: it's Malar's mosquito of blood. Because this week I have 183 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: been I'm happy to report to you, my fellow minion 184 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: and p one that is gonna above and beyond the 185 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: call of duty by listening to this podcast, I have 186 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: been a twenty four to seven all you can eat 187 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: buffet for the flying vampires of the Animal Kingdom. I know, 188 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: I know, Oh my god, Alf's freaking out over. It's 189 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: gonna be okay. For a dog, it'll be okay. JT. 190 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: The Wingman, don't worry about it. It's all. It's all good. Yeah. 191 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: So anyway, it's just been wild mosquitos. Look at me 192 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: the way a fat guy looks at Golden Corral. Right, 193 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: I'm just human flesh, and that's all they want. The airbone, airbone, 194 00:11:55,640 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: the air airborne Ninja's right, the airborne ninjas of summer. 195 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: The mosquitos lined up and some are supposedly over but 196 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: never ends really in Los Angeles, lined up in squadrons. 197 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: I'm convinced that right outside the house here there's squadrons, 198 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: and they plan their attack in convoys. So if Charlie 199 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:25,719 Speaker 1: Sheen's Tiger Blood was supposedly an anabolic steroid. My mosquito 200 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 1: blood is a clearance bin Malar's mosquito blood clearance bin 201 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: protein shake kind of mixed with tap water. And that's it. 202 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: And here's the craziest part. As you know, I am 203 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: not exactly Grizzly Adams over here, Like I'm not out 204 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: there chopping wood. It looks like I would be the 205 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: kind of guy with chop wood wearing a flannel shirt. No, 206 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: my outdoors consists of going from this this studio. I'll 207 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: walk out of the studio, I walk down, I'll walk 208 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: down flight of stairs or two or three or whatever, 209 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: and I'll go out to the door or go out 210 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: the front door. I'll go to the car, I'll grab 211 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 1: some groceries, I'll pump some gas. I'll maybe haul out 212 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: the trash once a week. And yet it doesn't matter. 213 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: Even though I live a sedentary lifestyle, the mosquitoes still 214 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: find me. They're like door dash drivers with wings. Right. 215 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: If you exist, they know where you are. Uber eats 216 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: our guy in Minnesota, he's I know where mallor is? 217 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: I know? Yeah? So call me Benny the Daredevil. Another 218 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: nickname Benny the Daredevil, the modern day Evil Canevl, Although 219 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: you probably don't know who that is. If you're of 220 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: a certain age, you know exactly who evil Canevl is. 221 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 1: Except instead of jumping canyons on my harley, I am 222 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: daring nature's most efficient killer to make a meal out 223 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: of me, because I am Benny the Daredevil. Yeah, let's 224 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: remember refresher course. Mosquitoes aren't just a nuisance. No no, no, yeah, 225 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 1: that's right. They're not gnats at a barbecue or you know, 226 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: you're flying around like a house fly, flying around, buzzing, 227 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: you're sa much in your chips. They are the deadliest 228 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: animal in the world. Sharks, overrated, overrated snakes, scary king kobra, 229 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: scary black mamba, scary but manageable lions. They barely crack 230 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: the list. Mosquitoes are the grim reapers with wings. They 231 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: are responsible for an estimated seven hundred thousand deaths a year. 232 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: That almost one million people year exit this mortal coil 233 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: because of mosquitos and malaria, West Nile, a bunch of 234 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: other stuff. Take your pick. They're dealing the cards, and 235 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: here I am just casually playing Russian Roulette every time 236 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: I take out the recycling. Now, the science of being 237 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: a snack. There's actual science here. Oh no, there's not. 238 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: Ben Yes, there is. I have no life, which only 239 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: makes this whole saga funnier sadder a little bit of 240 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: both at the same time. So after a minutes long 241 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: Mallar investigation determined that mosquitoes apparently love blood, but a 242 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: special type of blood. Type Oh, that is their go to. 243 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: That is their fentanyl, That is their crack, That is 244 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: what they love. They prefer it like the rest of 245 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: us prefer French fries to kale. We'd rather have a 246 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: big plate of cheese curds than a plate of broccoli. 247 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: They land on those with TYPEO nearly twice as often 248 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: as Type A. Now, if I've got old blood, oh well, 249 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: I'm basically a Michelin star meal walking around in the 250 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: boondocks here and imagine imagine this way. I guess the 251 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: way I just have it. Some people are charcuterie boards, 252 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: others are gas station beef jerking. Now I happen to be. 253 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: I've determined a Vegas buffet ninety nine cents with a coupon, 254 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: with a coupon, and mosquitoes aren't really picky about like 255 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: the zip code. It's not well, you live in a 256 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: neighborhood with mosquitoes. They are global, they have a global operation. 257 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: They are forget about the mob or terrorist cells. No, no, no, 258 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: They're found everywhere but Antarctica. They're like Starbucks, ubiquitous, annoying 259 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: and popping up in places you didn't think needed one there. 260 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: They thrive in jungles and swamps and apparently the driveway 261 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: at the Malor Mansion very popular. They have conventions there, 262 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: they get together. It's like the Shriners. That's the Moose Lodge. Now. 263 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: Their goal is to cause havoc and they're very good 264 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: at it. Their global reach makes them to use the 265 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: sports analogy the Lebron James of pest. Many of you 266 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: tell me Lebron James is a pest. Yeah, usually in 267 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 1: the playoffs, always somewhat relevant. And no matter how much 268 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 1: you wish Lebron would go away, like you wish mosquitos 269 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: would go away, they are never quite going away. They're 270 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: just not now. In the end, maybe mosquito blood is 271 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: the perfect metaphor for the year twenty twenty five. We 272 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: only got a few months to go here. You gotta 273 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: get through the rest of October November December and then 274 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: that's it, see you later, bye bye. Right, But it's 275 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: pretty good metaphor because tiger blood back in the day 276 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: was about being untouchable, unstoppable, and immortal, at least in 277 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: your own head. Mosquito blood, Mather's Mosquito Blood. It's about 278 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 1: being relentlessly nibbled, eaten, alive, one little bite at a time, 279 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: fighting off nature's smallest assassin while still I just, you know, 280 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: dragging out the trash of the curb and again going 281 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 1: back to the nickname here, Benny the Daredevil, who knew 282 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: that taking trash of the curb would make you a daredevil, 283 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: and yet, like Evil Canevil flying a motorcycle over buses, 284 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: I wear this as a merit badge I do. I 285 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: do the Daredevil of the driveway, Benny the Daredevil. Every 286 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 1: welt of battlescar. You know, women are impressed by that. 287 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: I think. I don't think my wife is. But every 288 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 1: itch a reminder that I'm still alive, baby, Because I 289 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 1: don't know that Mosquito's kind of bite dead people. I 290 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: don't think. Maybe they do. That's a good question. I 291 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: have no idea, But I'm still standing for now, still 292 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: talking into a microphone with you on this podcast and 293 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 1: overnight when the rest of the world is fast asleep. 294 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,239 Speaker 1: So Charlie Sheen had his tiger blood, I've got the 295 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: mather of mosquito blood, and in twenty twenty five. Let's 296 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: be honest here, mosquito blood feels a lot more relatable, 297 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: doesn't it. I'm more relatable to you because I am 298 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: one of you and all we're all together in this. 299 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: We're all together, all right, flipping the page quickly. We 300 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: have the celebrity matrix. Now. I mentioned this briefly in 301 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: passing on the air, and I got a lot of 302 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: feedback on it, and so I wanted to expand on 303 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: it here on this platform that I have with the microphone, 304 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: which is I gotta come up with the name of 305 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: It's like, it's not the bully Pulpit, because the bully 306 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: pulpit's the radio, because it's everywhere. You know, you have 307 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: to track down this podcast. You have to find the 308 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,360 Speaker 1: fifth hour podcast. It's not omni present. It's something you 309 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: have to track down. So it's not the bully Pulpit. 310 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: So if you guys want to send me a suggestion 311 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: on what we should call the podcast, the baby pulpit. 312 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 2: I don't know. 313 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: That sounds kind of weak. We got to do something 314 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: better than the baby pulpit. I'll think about it too. 315 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: I'll see if I can come up with something for 316 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: the weekend. So the Saturday and Sunday. The greatest quarterback 317 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 1: of all time. This is what led me down this path. 318 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: So the greatest quarterback of all time dropped a name 319 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 1: the other day. Caught my attention because I thought it 320 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,959 Speaker 1: was bull crap. Not a Hall of Famer, not a 321 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 1: head coach, not a new business partner selling leafy greens. No, no, no, 322 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Tom Brady said he knew I show speed. 323 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:29,679 Speaker 1: And if you're asking yourself, who, congratulations, you live in 324 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: the real world. And I'm going to give you a 325 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: high five. I am. I'm giving you an air of 326 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 1: high five right now. You live in the real world. Now, 327 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: let's be honest about this. So Tom Brady, my opinion, 328 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 1: does not know I show speed. He didn't know who 329 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: this person was. He's pretending to know I show speed. 330 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 1: Who's a YouTuber and TikToker and all that. Brady's forty 331 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: eight years old. He's the father. I think he's got 332 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,199 Speaker 1: three kids. He's divorced. He's got a TV gig on Fox. 333 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: He's semi retired from football, he's permanently retired from gluten. 334 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: And he's not pulling all nighters watching YouTube streamers and 335 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: watching gamers like that is not happening. It is not. 336 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 1: He's eating his avocado ice cream, he's wearing his therapeutic pajamas. 337 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: He's he's using his vibrating foam rollers. He's got his 338 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: loop bands, he's got all that stuff, a lot of electrolytes, 339 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: and that's it. That's all he's not. He's not futzing 340 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: around with his other stuff. He's not watching people wearing 341 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,959 Speaker 1: headsets while they're playing video games. He's not scrolling Twitch. 342 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: He's not smashing subscribe buttons. He's my friend, you know, 343 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 1: he's my eight not my friend, but he's he's parroting 344 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 1: something a handler or an agent. Somebody said, Hey, Tom, 345 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: this guy's really hot right now on the socials, So 346 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 1: why don't we do a We'll do a get together, 347 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: a meet and greet, and then you'll be cooler and 348 00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: the you know, these other people that aren't normally fancy 349 00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: or they'll be into it. And so it's like some 350 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 1: social media manager, some moderator whispered into Tom Brady's ear 351 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: to make him look plugged in. Right, you're Tom Brady, 352 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 1: you're plugging. This is the new currency of fame, and 353 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: that's really my point. And I got some angry emails 354 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: from people that I guess know who this guy I 355 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: show speed is, and they're like, you're you're such an 356 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 1: old man. I can't believe you said that. Listen again 357 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: to me. You are famous if you are known by 358 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 1: a large amount of people, thus fam like you don't Nowadays, 359 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: you don't have to be universally recognized anymore to be 360 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 1: considered famous. And it's just something that's changed in my lifetime. 361 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: You can be what I call algorithm famous, silo famous. Right, 362 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: You're very famous in a silo famous inside one bubble 363 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: where you draw tens of millions, some of them real, 364 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: some of them not. But outside of the bubble you 365 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: do not exist. Your fame is not there. Now when 366 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: I think of fame, I think of Taylor Swift. You 367 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: don't have to google Taylor Swift. You don't have to 368 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 1: ask three friends, what does that woman do? Everyone knows, like, 369 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: even if you've never heard of a full Taylor swift 370 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: song and you're not a fan of that music. You 371 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: know the name, you know the deal. That's real to me, 372 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: that's old school, that's fame. I show Speed. I had 373 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,360 Speaker 1: to google him. Then I asked people in my circles. 374 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 1: I said, listen. I started sending messages on my phone. 375 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: I'm futzing around my phone. I'm saying, listen, do you 376 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 1: know who this is? And a few of the people 377 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 1: in my circles said, I've heard the name, but I 378 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: don't really know what they actually do. I just know 379 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: that there's somewhat famous because I've heard about and that 380 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: is my point. That's me dotting the ie like the 381 00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 1: Ohio State Marching Band. If you're truly famous, somebody in 382 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: the room should be able to explain explain it without 383 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: pulling out a search bar, like this isn't a knock on, 384 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,679 Speaker 1: I show Speed. I don't know the guy. He's a 385 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: young guy. He's doing very well for himself. I wish 386 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: him well. I hope he makes a fortune. Apparently he is, 387 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: according to the Internet, he's making a lot of money. 388 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: But I don't care about that, you know, because you 389 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 1: can't take it with you, and you only have it 390 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,120 Speaker 1: for a little bit and you can all go away. 391 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. You know, money's great to have. I 392 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 1: would love to have more of it, but you know, 393 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: so be it. The point is, again, his kind of fame, 394 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: I show speed is compartmentalized. It's engineered by the social 395 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: media matrix and where relevance is manufactured and then sold back. 396 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: And I've seen it. I've seen how they make the 397 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 1: hot dogs. I've ranted about it all the time on 398 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 1: this podcast. It just it's not typically organic. It is 399 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,959 Speaker 1: the land of manipulation. It is a vortex where people 400 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 1: get sucked in and can't tell what's real and what's not. 401 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 1: We've talked about over the last couple months the people 402 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: that went famous in music on TikTok and then they 403 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: got signed to go on tour and do concerts, and 404 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: it turns out that he didn't really have many real fans, 405 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: at least people that didn't want to buy tickets because 406 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 1: they the people were the followers, were being paid for 407 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 1: and bought and all that stuff. So that's that's the point. Listen, 408 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: Brady knows the game. He's trying to stay relevant. It 409 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: gets harder the older you get, and the world keeps 410 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 1: moving and then eventually it moves on from you. Even 411 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, as the great Terry Bradshaw told me when 412 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: I did radio with him back you know a million 413 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: years ago, that every day that goes by, from the 414 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: moment you stop playing a sport, your relevancy goes down. 415 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: There's a direct correlation. I don't need to get a 416 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: ven diagram, but Terry explain it now. To Terry's credit, 417 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: he's had thirty years on Fox something along those lines, 418 00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: maybe longer breaking NFL games down at all, which is 419 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: good to him. But there's people that don't even know 420 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,360 Speaker 1: Terry played in the NFL and they have no idea anyway, 421 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 1: The point is about Tom Brady. So Tom Brady's not 422 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 1: competing with Peyton Manning anymore. He's not playing in the 423 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 1: super Bowl. He's competing with Fox on Sundays. He's competing 424 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: with the algorithm. And the algorithm doesn't care that you 425 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 1: threw six hundred and forty nine touchdown passes or whatever 426 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: it was. It cares whether you know the hot streamer 427 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: of the week, the flavor of the week. And my 428 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: position is Brady doesn't know. He's just pretending because that 429 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 1: is how you survive in the matrix. That's it. That's 430 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: how you play the game. It's like the red carpet. 431 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: Just pretend that's entertainment. There's the other kind of fame, 432 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: the kind I prefer. It is smaller, yes, however more authentic, 433 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 1: overnight sports talk radio fame. There's a guy named Hollering James. 434 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: So I met a couple years back at a mallor 435 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: meet greet in Minnesota. It was a brief get together, 436 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: and every single time Hollering James, every single time Hollering 437 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: James calls up. Inevitably, if he's on the air for 438 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: more than ninety seconds, we'll mention I met you at 439 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 1: the Mermaid. It is flattering to me, right, But overnight 440 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 1: sportshalk for radio fame. It is not glossy. It doesn't 441 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: trend on TikTok, and it will not get you a 442 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: Cryptos sponsorship. But it's real. It's the cult classic version, 443 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 1: the cult classic version of celebrity. A gathering of insomniacs 444 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: right from different backgrounds, different financial classes, all that stuff, 445 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: different backgrounds, religiously, but we are united. We are creatures 446 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: of the night. Truck drivers, fry cooks, people making donuts, 447 00:27:54,840 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: night shift cops, night shift robbers, full time weirdos who 448 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 1: call themselves the malor militia, my homeboys, and my cult. 449 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 1: That's fame you can't trust, right, can't trust The people 450 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: who call at three seventeen am Eastern are not pretending. 451 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: They know you, They quote you. They live in your 452 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: corner of the world, not because of an algorithm telling 453 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: them to no no, no, no no, because they chose 454 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: to right. And so yeah, Tom Brady can say, hey, 455 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: I know I show speed and you could play in 456 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: the NFL, and maybe some people will believe them. There's 457 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: always a gullible percentage of people. But fame that requires 458 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: pretending isn't fame requires pretending isn't really fame, all right. 459 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if I'm saying this right, 460 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: but fame that needs google isn't really fame. Let me 461 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: say it that way. So again, this is my personal preference. 462 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: You give me the other kind, give me your tie, 463 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: your poor, your huttle masses yearning to breathe free. Lukewarm 464 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: sports takes overnight. To me, that's real, that's lasting, right, 465 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: That's the kind of fame that Tom Brady doesn't have 466 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: anymore because he's not playing and I show speed. We'll 467 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: never have because of the way that the matrix is 468 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: set up. So fame is not dead, it's not, it 469 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: just is different. It got trapped in the algorithm and 470 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 1: the only way, the only way out is at two 471 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: or three or four in the morning on AM talk radio. 472 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,959 Speaker 1: Although we are on FM in many cities now some 473 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: of the bigger cities we're on FM Sports Talk radio, 474 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: which is which is pretty cool. All right, we'll get 475 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: out on that. I have a new podcast tomorrow. Danny 476 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: g will check in. We'll have I think i'll check it. 477 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 2: I don't know. 478 00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: I'll find out. I'll see his schedule, but I'll be here. 479 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: Whether he's here or not, he'll be producing it one 480 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: way or another, or somebody else will. But I will 481 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: be here doing the podcast all weekend, right all weekend, 482 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 1: and I will follow the line. Victor Brick told me 483 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: years ago that a samurai uses a toothpick even if 484 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: he hasn't eaten the meal, meaning that you live with 485 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: honor despite poverty and all that.
