He's the last remnants 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.480 of the old republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:15.480 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:17.040 rich pill poppers. 0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:17.480 In the penthouse. 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:21.119 Wow to the Clearinghouse of hot takes, break free for 0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:28.440 something special.

But we did not get the pop 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:45.360 culture yesterday, so we have to get to some of 0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:47.920 the pop goes the culture stories of the day. So 0:00:48.000 --> 0:01:05.880 let's start with that. And that means Ohio Alojobojob all right, 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:10.120 the great Ohio out there with his magic doing it 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:12.080 yet again. So pop goes to culture. These are some 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:16.399 random stories we found that did not come up at 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:20.680 least on the show that I do, possibly Covino and Rich. 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:25.520 But let's get to it and here we go. So 0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:31.920 British Airways making some headlines this week as they had 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:37.440 a catering issue on a flight, so they improvised. Do 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:39.720 you see this story bouncing around here? This is in 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:46.520 Australia and passengers on a British Airlines flight from was 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:50.320 it Turks and the what is it the other caicos? 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:55.680 Turks and caicos there from a flight from there to London. 0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:00.960 The catering people left some food out the twelve hour flight. 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:06.520 Twelve hour flight British Airways. They landed in the Bahamas 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:09.440 for a stopover and they were supposed to put some 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:13.280 food on the plane and the food was messed up. 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:16.120 And so the people that worked at British Airways they 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.600 realized this is a long flight. The people need something 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:21.600 to eat. So they went out to a Kentucky Fried 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:27.560 Chicken and bought several buckets of fried chicken and served 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:32.480 the travelers pieces of chicken. You get a chicken leg, 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.040 you get a breast, you get a wing. Good luck, 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:39.400 knock yourself out nice. I like the breast, well, I 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.760 think we all do. But there's a there's a video 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:47.360 that's gone viral of the employees there, the cabin crew 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:53.320 holding buckets of KFC And if that does not turn 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:57.399 into a KFC commercial or a British Airways commercial. That's cool. 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.640 The people somebody screwed up. The food was all messed 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.160 up and the flight attendance and the people that work 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:06.400 in British Airways went out and got some chickens. 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:07.600 But we were kids. 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.720 Do you remember OJ Simpson on the TV commercials for 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:12.000 Pioneer Chicken. 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:16.720 Yes, Pioneer was the rival of KFC did not make 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:17.680 it though they lost. 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:22.160 My grandmother's go to move for the weekend. She would 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.240 load us up in her station wagon with folding chairs. 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.359 She would sit in the drive through at Pioneered Chicken 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:32.920 and get two buckets of magical fried chicken, take us 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:36.680 to the drive in movie theater, take out folding chairs, 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:39.880 and then with some napkins and paper plates, throw the 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.720 fried chicken on the plates, hand it out and there 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:43.920 was dinner in a movie. 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:47.600 So all you need. It's the key to life right there. 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.880 My parents also, when I was a kid, we eat 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:56.200 more Pioneered Chicken than Kentucky Fried Chicken. And then it 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:58.080 was before it was KFC, it was they just call 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.080 it in it called KFC, they called Kentucky. Ver we 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.040 ate more Pioneer. There was one right near the house, 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:08.040 and then eventually we shifted over whatever was cheaper. Mom 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:11.040 My mom would go to Pioneer was cheaper than KFC, 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.680 had some special or some coupon, so we would go there. 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:18.120 I believe that there's one Pioneer left in LA. 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:23.640 Only one last one standing, the last like the last 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:29.560 Blockbuster video, the last one standing. Well, a new disaster 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.280 from Hollywood. And even though everyone's on strike right now, 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:37.040 they're not making new projects, but Disney putting together a 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.960 remake of snow White. We talked a little bit about 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.240 this a while ago. This thing is going to be 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:46.280 worse than that female all female Ghostbusters movie. 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:48.400 That is quite an accomplishment. 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:52.760 Yeah, this is this is next level there. So some 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:59.320 video popped up recently and it has Rachel Zegler. She's 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:04.240 in this as a key role as the star of 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:09.200 the live action remake of Snow White. And some video 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:13.960 popped up here. She was some expo with the woman 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:19.440 that plays Wonder Woman, the Israeli actress, and so they 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:22.760 were chatting about Snow White, and she said they are 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:28.919 reimaging Snow White and they would shift. The plan is 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.479 in this movie and nobody's seen it because I don't 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.320 even know if it's done yet, but it's the values 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:38.160 of a Disney princess and the dreams and all that, 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.679 and so, when asked specifically what was going to happen, 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:44.040 she said that snow White would bring a more modern 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:48.920 edge to the character and it's not nineteen thirty seven 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:53.680 and all that, and then pointed out that the snow 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:57.640 White movie will not have the star snow White there 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.960 be saved by the prince. She will not be dreaming 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:06.760 about true love Danny. She'll be dreaming about becoming the 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:10.200 leader she knows she can be, and the leader that 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:11.720 her late father told her. 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:15.640 There you go, gal Gado, you were talking about wonder Woman. 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:20.080 Yeah, yeah, gal Gado. So but anyway, they're changing. If 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:23.840 this is right, snow White, but why not just make 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:28.240 a new movie, go hard on a guy, mess around 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:30.480 with snow White. Just make a new movie where the 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:35.320 lead female character is not trying to be saved by 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:37.760 the prince. It's like, what are you doing? You're just 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:41.640 annoying people with that. People can get suckered in to 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:45.800 seeing snow White because of the snow White brand. They're like, Hey, 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.200 I know snow White, and I see it, and I 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.640 was a fan of snow white. My family liked it 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.320 when I was a kid and all that. So this 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:58.320 thing's going to be a hot, hot, hot, hot mess, 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:01.719 is what that's going to be. Next up on Pop 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:05.400 Goes the cultureal I saw Megan Kelly got body slammed 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.680 this week. She was asking people to donate to a 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.360 friend's charity. That friend was trying to raise thirty thousand 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:17.200 dollars was a GoFundMe, and she is worth eight million 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:20.920 dollars and she was asking people to donate to a 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:22.960 gofund me. So people were getting pissed off. 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:26.880 Singers and athletes whenever they do this, they get crap. 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.280 Yeah, that's a tough one, you know. That's like you're 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:34.840 asking the peons, the peasants to donate money, and you 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:37.480 could what's thirty if you're worth eight million, what is 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:45.240 thirty thousand dollars? Nothing? Right? Yes? Yeah, man, I'll do 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:47.320 a couple more and then we'll get to the mailbag. 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:53.040 On Pop Goes the Culture, Well, a young lady went viral. 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.280 She posted a bunch of folks you see this Danny 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:58.120 on I think it was on Instagram, and she had 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:04.120 all her different mugshots and eleven of them rested eleven times. 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.440 Damn Genie and Medford run for her money. 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:13.400 Oh that isn't honey. She's only twenty three years old. 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:17.640 She went to the University of Eastern Kentucky or Easton 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:22.360 Kentucky University, Western Kentucky University. She should have gone to 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:25.840 Northern and Southern Kentucky as well, complete all of them. 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:32.680 But anyway, she's was arrested at least eleven times. And 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:36.480 she posted a bunch of mugshots for a different rest 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:40.560 and she was very excited about it there and it's 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:44.680 gone viral. And of course if she was ugly, Danny, 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:46.800 I'm guessing it would not have gone viral. 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:47.040 Right. 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:52.559 Isn't there a correlation between perceived beauty and the amount 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:56.679 of people that click on a certain story like this? Right? 0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:01.120 It's yeah. Anyway, she's somewhat attracted depending on your type, 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:05.439 and called the Queen of Chaos. It's wonder you can 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:07.240 get famous, and this has been the way for a while, 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.880 but you can get famous just from from this. Remember 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.800 the guy a couple of years back, there was a 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:14.880 guy that had a mug shot that was like a model. 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.080 I think tattoos. 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:19.680 Yeah, I think he got a modeling deal. Because like 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:21.840 women were all, you know, all excited. 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:25.640 Did he started hanging out with celebrities like B C 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:27.880 listers at first, and then he was spotted with some 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:29.960 A listers even got a murder. 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:33.720 Yeah, there you go. Let's get to the mailbag. What 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:35.360 do you say, time for the mailbag. Let's do it. 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:38.720 Here we go. These are actual letters, some actual people, 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.600 and we even have a song for this. Right, Ohio, 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:58.360 I'll do your thing. It's very good. First up, we 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:03.720 have j from Saint Louis. He says, Hey, Ben and Danny. Ben, 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:07.000 you said this week on the show that you had 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:10.400 a story about a former baseball player named Dave Hanson. 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:12.719 You said you didn't have time to tell it. Can 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:17.400 you enlighten us here on the podcast? Yes, Jay, I, 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:19.440 and thank you for emailing. I don't think we've had 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.480 Jay email us before, so thank you Jay for that. 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:25.280 I appreciate it. Always good to hear or see new 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:29.040 names that submit content. So, yes, Jay, I've told this 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:30.760 story a few times over the years, but there's always 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:33.640 new people listening, right, Danny, The audience is always growing. 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.240 We hope. If not, we're doing something wrong. So years 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:39.240 ago I did a local show in Los Angeles and 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:42.400 we had a big budget. They had a lot of 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:46.880 money to throw around, and they this is so long ago. 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:50.040 The Dodgers had this guy named Davey Johnson who was 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:53.840 managing the team. Davey had had great success. He managed 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:56.840 the nineteen eighty six Mets, one of the great iconic 0:10:56.880 --> 0:11:00.480 teams in baseball history, and he had then I think 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.160 he went to Baltimore. Anyway, it might have been Cincinnati 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:06.400 then Baltimore, but he ended up with the Dodgers. And 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:10.559 it's a long time ago, and I'm doing the midday show. 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:15.600 The afternoon drive show paid Davy Johnson a ton of 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:19.080 money and they had a weekly radio show, the Davy 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:24.760 Show with Davy Johnson. Now I'm not here to besmirch 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:25.400 the name. 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:26.280 Of Davy Johnson. 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:30.720 He's still alive. But let's just say Davey was not 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:32.160 that into the radio show. 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:33.600 It was. 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:36.400 Snooze inducing. 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:38.600 They paid hostage. 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:44.400 Yeah, like it was really agony more than anything. So 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:46.880 we were kind of pissed off because the radio station 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:48.720 had spent all this money in the afternoon show. And 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:51.720 you know how competitive people are and radio in any business, 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:53.600 but we were kind of pissed off. We were the 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:55.960 midday show. We got nothing at that time, we had 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.360 no budget. They spent all the money on the morning 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:02.280 show in the afternoon. So I was covering the team 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.360 and I I said, you know what we got to do. 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:12.199 Let's mock the Davy Show. The Dodgers have this guy 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:15.800 named Dave Hanson who's a backup infield, plays third base, 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:19.400 pinch hitter, really good pinch hitter. Why don't we have 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:23.160 our own version of the Davy Show and we'll have 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:27.719 Dave Hanson on. And Dave's a socow guy. And I 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:29.400 don't know what ever happened to him after he left 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.400 the Dodgers. He played with the Cubs, I believe after that. 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:33.800 But I was somewhat friendly with Dave, and so he 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.680 played with the Dodgers. We asked him, kind of kiddingly, 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:38.959 would you come on every week and do a show? 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:42.960 And he said, sure, why not? You know, he gives 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:45.000 a call it did it. We didn't pay him. He 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.560 just like loved it, you know, a lot of stories. 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:51.120 So we had him on and this thing killed Dandy. 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:54.480 He was telling stories about surfing and life and it 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:59.600 was entertaining and wonderful and great and all that, and 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:04.079 so so What ended up happening is the following season, 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:09.320 the Afternoon Show hired Dave Hanson and paid him to 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:10.280 go on their show. 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:12.400 Oh come on, Yeah. 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:16.440 We lost Dave Hanson to the other show. And so 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:19.679 that's my Dave Hanson story that he came on. He 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:25.120 was great, he upstaged Davy Johnson, and we lost him 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.480 to the Afternoons. I don't blame him because they paid 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:30.120 and it's just really annoying. I said, what do you do? 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.360 You know that's our guy, and we did it at 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:35.160 first to mock their show and then it ended up 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:35.800 working out well. 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:36.160 Anyway. 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:40.800 Next up, doctor Alf from the delivery room. Will Daddy 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:44.840 G be recording the podcast from the hospital when the 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:48.719 missus G goes into labor and will you Ben be 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.640 there to deliver the baby? And opportunity to add another 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.280 nickname to the Hopper. Yes, I have not been invited, 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:56.280 nor do I want to be invited to that. That's 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:58.680 all Danny. You're right there. You can take care of that. Danny. 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:03.600 You've had the training. You're good to go, are you now? 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:05.600 Are you gonna look or you're not gonna look? Daddy? 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:06.520 What's the move going to be? 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:10.599 I don't know yet I'm going to fill out the situation. 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:15.280 Game time decision, game time decision. Yeah, I've heard it 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:15.880 both ways. 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.400 I've heard some people have said, I've had got you know, 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:20.640 buddies of mine over the years that have said, oh, yeah, 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.480 it's amazing, you want to see it. It's the beginning 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:25.360 of life, you know, the real life, you know, and 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:27.960 all that. And then I've heard other people say no, 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.600 because there's certain things you will never want to do again. 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.800 If you watch that show, that that show, you'd think 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.760 it's from another planet and you just want no part 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:43.320 of that. So it really depends on how you're wired. Yeah, 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:45.640 and also how much trouble you'll be in if you don't, 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:47.800 you know, if you don't do what you're supposed to do. 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.960 I guess right, you know how the Barbie movie is 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:53.840 the rage right now? Yeah, I wish it was the 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:56.000 nineteen fifties because then I could just be in the 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:57.080 cigar room. 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:01.320 Passing out stogies. Yeah, here we go, boys, I got 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:05.280 a kid, all right, Mike, Mike and fulletin right, since 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:09.960 says hello, Ben and Danny g. When Dan Patrick's time 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:13.600 slot opens up in four years, will both of your 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:15.920 respective shows be throwing their hat into the ring to 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.560 take it over. I hope things don't get ugly between 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.840 you two. I'd hate to see a fifth hour civil war. 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:26.560 Can't wait, says Mike. Yeah, well of course. Well it'll 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:30.840 be like that scene from Anchorman, and we'll just it'll 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:35.560 be me Eddie and Coop and Iowa Sam. We'll take 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:38.280 on Danny g Covino and Rich and all you guys, 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:40.360 and then we'll just go at it and we'll have 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:45.680 like machetes and all kinds of muskets and all kinds 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:48.400 of random things. Go after yourself, san Diego. 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.960 So yeah, be careful. We have Ramos on our team. 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.480 He bites ankles. 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:59.360 Oh yeah, he's an ankle biter, that John Ramos for sure. Yeah, 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:02.120 he's like Jeff van Gundy. He hangs on to the 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:06.520 ankles of people. He says. Also, if you have time 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:10.920 for more, one more question, Mike says, what's your guy's 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:12.560 opinion on fabric softener? 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:13.280 Yay or nay? 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.440 Yeah, So, Mike, I think you should talk to Brian Finley. 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:20.880 He's a he's a kirky dad. Did you know that, daddy? 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.480 Yeah? 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.920 Man, he have not paid too much attention to his 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:27.720 social media. 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.320 Well I didn't. I don't. I'm really not on social 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:33.000 media much. But I saw him in the hallways this 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:36.600 week and he looked a little disheve. He always looks 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:37.360 a little disheved. 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:39.960 Yeah, it looks like he just rolled out of bed 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.680 literally ten minutes before airtime. 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:46.480 Yeah, a little flustered. He had a shirt saying a 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:50.160 corky dad on it in a picture of a corky 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:53.880 and then it said dad under and I said, wow, 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:57.240 that's that's impressive. But yeah, Brian's really good that fabric 0:16:57.280 --> 0:16:58.120 softener stuff. 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:00.920 And I don't know, you need to use some on 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:04.400 his hair because half of his hair is like sticking up, 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:10.199 like yeah, yeah, he's like like a. 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:14.000 Nineties movie character from some kind of like comedy, like 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:18.840 a nineties comedy. It is odd look, an odd od look. 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:22.160 But I just can't answer that. It's an offensive question 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:24.960 to be about fabric softener. I don't know, Danny. Do 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:26.960 you do the laundry at the house over there, Danny 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:28.119 or you're the laundry person. 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:32.960 I do the heavy lifting, so I'll take laundry baskets down, 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:35.720 I'll carry them up. But yeah, I'm not the one 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:38.479 in charge of making sure the fabric comes out soft. 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:41.639 I know that we do use some though, and then 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:44.960 when you dry the clothes, make sure that you throw 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:47.639 a couple of bounce strips in there. 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:48.320 Yeah. 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:50.200 Well, I've refused to answer the question, so I will 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:52.280 not answer the question. But if I were to answer 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:54.720 the question, Danny, I would point out that I used 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:57.760 to use fabric softener. My wife allergic to it, so 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:01.000 do not use fabric softener anymore. But I can't answer 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:03.480 the question, so I'm sorry. I hope you understand, Mike. 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:06.760 I did not answer the question. Kevin in Kansas Rights 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:09.639 and he says, dear Ben and Danny, g you both 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:13.359 live hectic lives with all the schedules. Do you have 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:17.720 any advice for creating quality downtime in your daily life 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:21.960 to keep your sanity. That's from our buddy Kevin. He's 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:25.159 a teacher. I can tell Kevin's having a good summer 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:28.159 because the questions have slowed down a little bit. Kevin's 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:32.359 enjoying himself before he gets back to the grind. So 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:34.880 I am really bad at downtime. I don't do downtime. Well, 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:37.800 I'll go first. The only thing I do during the 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:41.600 week is after I get done doing a little prep 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:44.800 for the show, and I take a shower, and then 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:47.240 before I go to bed, I play on I play 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:50.760 games on my phone. I play Solitaire, and there's like 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:55.320 an alien shooting game that I play, like a ripoff 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:58.760 of Galaxians from back in the day. So I play that. 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:00.800 That's about it. And then on weekends when I have 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:02.840 a little downtime, I'll I love going to the beach 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:06.280 during the summer, and then in the winter not so much. 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:09.120 But that's about it. What about you, Danny downtime? How 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:10.280 do you keep your sanity? 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:13.320 I have one book that I've been trying to read. 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.600 In that book, I'm probably on like chapter twenty. 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:18.240 I thought you would be like the bron and say 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:18.960 I'm on page two. 0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:23.960 I have a huge basketball too, But no, but chapter 0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:27.000 twenty is not good because I've been reading this book 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:30.439 supposedly for I don't know, three or four months, so 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:34.919 I should be finished with this book music books. 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:39.200 And then if life gets too hectic and kids are 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:41.800 causing too much of a stir, I go down to 0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:42.480 the garage. 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:46.520 That's good. You should get like a punching bag in there. 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:49.720 I actually do have a stand up punching bag. 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:53.520 Yeah, it'd be perfect. Just unload on that and curse 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:55.560 and you can do both at the same time. 0:19:56.840 --> 0:19:58.000 Mike Tyson style. 0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:02.760 Yeah. Next, Barry from South Carolina says, yo yo ma Benny. 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:05.120 He used to be in Nashville, but now he says, 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:07.600 he's in South Carolina. Yo yo ma Benny. And Danny 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:11.640 g still drives me crazy. People call you and everyone 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:17.560 asks how are you doing? Just say yo yo ma Benny, 0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:21.320 which means love the show and get to what you're 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:26.160 calling about and stop wasting precious broadcast time. He says. 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.600 My question this week is would you entertain having an 0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:32.560 A and A segment where you would have Andrea and 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:36.480 andre as back to back callers. This way, those listeners 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:39.760 who don't care for these two callers can go about 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:42.200 other things for fifteen minutes while these two are on 0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:44.919 the air. Wow, I think that's a splendid idea. That's 0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:46.800 from Barry from South Carolina. 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:48.720 Yeah. 0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:53.320 Well, it's just not every caller is a masterpiece, and 0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:57.840 there are people that love andre Andre is very polarizing 0:20:57.880 --> 0:21:00.240 because some people love his calls from the Commonwealth, other 0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:03.200 people hate him, and the same with Andrew. There's certain 0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:07.359 people that love looking at star charts and figuring things 0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:09.000 out and all that, and there's other people that think 0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:11.600 that's quackery and they want nothing to do it. As 0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:13.800 far as the delay, though, you are absolutely right, Barry, 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:16.240 I brought this up before. It's fascinates me doing this 0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:18.280 a long time. I listened to radio before I got 0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:21.480 into radio, So my entire life I've loved radio and 0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:26.240 broadcasting and audio content. And to think the first radio 0:21:26.240 --> 0:21:28.359 station which used to be a Fox Sports radio affiliate, 0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:33.120 I think it plays oldies music now WKAP in Allentown, Pennsylvania, 0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:37.040 was the first radio station that ever had a tape 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:41.320 delay or a delay like a small delay for broadcast. 0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:48.880 And it goes back to nineteen fifty two. Nineteen fifty 0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:52.680 two was the first year that this radio station did 0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:56.320 their thing. It was a show called open Mic and 0:21:56.400 --> 0:21:59.879 that is the first time a television call in show 0:22:00.760 --> 0:22:06.000 slash Radio was broadcast with a television conversation live on 0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:10.560 the air. The FCC had rules that prohibited the broadcast 0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:15.440 of live television, you know, conversation like from phones and on. 0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:21.639 But they put a new rule in prohibiting the playback 0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:26.240 unless you provided a beap. That was heard every fifteen seconds, 0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:29.760 so that was the workaround on that. But that WKP 0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:33.400 in Allentown Pierre was the first nineteen fifty two. So 0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:37.400 you get through the fifties, the sixties, the seventies, the eighties, 0:22:37.520 --> 0:22:42.760 the nineties, the odds, the last decade. We are talking 0:22:42.800 --> 0:22:48.439 about over seventy years of delay on radio and still 0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:54.560 people say how you doing? OZZIEZ writes in from how 0:22:54.600 --> 0:22:58.800 you doing? By the way, Western Ostex from Western Australia, 0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:02.639 says my mates Big Ben and Danny G. Last week 0:23:02.760 --> 0:23:06.560 I got the opportunity to go to an underground operational mine, 0:23:07.520 --> 0:23:11.160
