I don't really count these exhibition games. 14 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, Danny G Radio, but I 15 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: watched more of the Hall of Fame game on Thursday 16 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: than I have in years, but only because I wanted 17 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: to hear Brent Musburger and I wasn't sure when Musburger 18 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: was going to come on. You know that, and he 19 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: didn't show up. 20 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 3: Well, he was the highlight. And then I know once 21 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 3: you got on the radio. Probably one of your monologues 22 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,919 Speaker 3: was about how Trey Lance is now a top ten quarterback. 23 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: Well, the rumor, and I don't know, I don't know 24 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: if I'm allowed to say this on the podcast, but 25 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: that Kansas City's offered Mahomes and Kelsey for Trey Lance. 26 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: That that, and that's what Schefter had. 27 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 3: Now, No, I think the Chargers could get more. 28 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I agree. When you think of the greatest 29 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: Charger quarterbacks, you think of Philip Rivers, you think of 30 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: Dan Fouts, you think of Drew Brees. But all of them, 31 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: all of them pale in comparison to July Trey Lance. 32 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: Nothing match July Trey Lance. He's the greatest jobs. 33 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 3: And do you know after the game, an NFL reporter 34 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 3: posted the final score and said, oh boy, the Lions 35 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 3: sure are going to miss Ben Johnson. 36 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. 37 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 3: You can make a lot of nothing like overreacting to 38 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 3: a Hall of Fame game, the first preseason game of 39 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 3: the year where no actual starters are on the field. 40 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I do realize before you said, well, Ben, 41 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: you overreact all the time? Are your stupid radio show? Yeah, listen, 42 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: I understand we're in the reaction business, but even for me, Danny, 43 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,839 Speaker 1: that is a bridge too far. 44 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, And you overreact to starters 45 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 3: I do. 46 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: I do overreact to QB one's and all that stuff. 47 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: And I I have learned my lesson over the years 48 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: on not getting burned by exhibition quarterbacks. What was the guy? 49 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: There was a quarterback the Saints had. Was it Jake Hayner? 50 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: I think that was. Remember last year there was a 51 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: guy that played really well if I remember in the 52 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: exhibition games who people were getting all horny, They're like, 53 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: oh man, this guy's amazing. Didn't quite work out that way. 54 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: I think it was Jake, And there was Every year 55 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: there's one quarterback at least that just dominates exhibition football, right, 56 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: just is amazing. I think it was Jake Haner the 57 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: Saints last year. I might be wrong on that, but 58 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: either way it doesn't matter. Yeah. So anyway, today's Sunday, 59 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: and we'll have plenty there will be exhibition football. There 60 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: was only one not to I don't think today. But 61 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: next week that's when the real card begins in exhibition football. 62 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: Now we have the word of the week, dany are 63 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: you ready for the word of the week. 64 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 3: You're gonna do Word of the week on a mail 65 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 3: bag Sunday. 66 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: And then we'll get to the mail bag. I just 67 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: wonder a mail bag edition of word of the week. Ok, 68 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: this is the word of the week. Is usurped? Now? 69 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: This was by request from the aforementioned alf the alien opiner. 70 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: He said, Ben, I heard you mentioned the word usurped 71 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: twice in monologues this week or something like that. I'm 72 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: trying to I'm membering this off the top of my 73 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: head anyway. So the word usurped, which goes all the 74 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: way back, it was first recorded in the twelve hundreds, 75 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: somewhere between twelve seventy five and the early thirteen hundreds. 76 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: The word usurped has a lineage that goes way back. 77 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: It goes like so many of our words, it goes 78 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: back to Latin roots. There's also some Old French influence 79 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 1: in there. The original meaning in Old the French was 80 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: to wrongfully appropriate. That was the original and by the 81 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: early fourteenth century in Middle English. According to the linguistic 82 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: people where I got this from, they claim that it 83 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: was used to describe falsely claiming rights or seizing power. 84 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: That I was normally used in political dialogue. So when 85 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: someone usurps a throne or a title, they're essentially seasoning 86 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: for use without rightful claim, all right, without rightful claim. 87 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: So if you want to, if you want to use 88 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: the word usurp, you could say that Danny, if I 89 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: were away and we had I don't know who would 90 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: be in here doing the podcast. If we brought somebody 91 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: else in third person into the podcast and they did well, 92 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: they would usurp the podcast from me. 93 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 3: So the word of the week is it was like 94 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 3: when I was a little kid at the dinner table 95 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 3: and my mom would say stop it, and I looked, 96 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 3: I'm like what she's like, you surp it and I 97 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 3: had my soup in front of me. 98 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,799 Speaker 1: Or if you go out to a Malibu or Santa Monica, 99 00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: you could surp a right cowibump. Let's get to the mailbag. 100 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: Here we go, mail back time, mailback, mailbag. 101 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 3: Mail bag, it's mail bag. 102 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: Thank you very much.

The Taco Bell 199 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 3: once a day, could just clean your system out. 200 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, you eat it at night before you go to bed. 201 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: And now my problem, My problem is I can go 202 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: in there and eat some burritos and tacos and all 203 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: the different weird items they have at Taco Bell and 204 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: all that during the week. I usually only eat one 205 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: meal a day, so that would be my one meal 206 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: would be Taco Bell. They have enough items on there, 207 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 1: like you could try the canteena burrito and you can. 208 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, they have enough different items to where you could. 209 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 3: I mean, it would still get old if you had 210 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 3: to do it for that many years, but there's enough 211 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 3: items now at least to rotate through. Yeah. 212 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: Is it true they charged twenty cents per pack of 213 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: like hot sauce and stuff. 214 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 3: Is that true or is that No? Not at not 215 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 3: at our Taco bells here in California at least. 216 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: Okay, that's good. That's good. Next up is Barry, my guy, 217 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: Barry from South Carolina. Still sadly yo yo, Ma, Benny 218 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: and Danny g Okay. I can't be the only one 219 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: thinking this, but I am calling bs on Willis. 220 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 3: Now. 221 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: Willis is the dog of Andrea. So Barry says the 222 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: first few months, Willis is not hurt at all. Now, 223 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: every time Andre is on the phone, Willis is barking 224 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: up a storm, Barry says after a minute long Barry 225 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: in South Carolina Investigation, I added that part he said, 226 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: this is a fake dog. This is some. 227 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 3: Gizmo he had, Oh no, which. 228 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: Is a button when he wants Willis is totally made up? 229 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 3: Says they're onto us. Ben, Willis is part of our 230 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 3: payroll that we're not supposed to talk about. 231 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: Willis is AI. I think Willis is an AI dog. 232 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 3: I agree. Berry. 233 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: Here's the thing, though, Danny. People were originally saying that 234 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: the dog Willis was was not a real dog, meaning 235 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: there was no dog there. Because Andre and the Commonwealth. 236 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: Andre would say I've got my dog, Willis. I'm walking 237 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: my dog. The dog would not make any noise. Yeah, 238 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: some people said it was not a real dog. Then 239 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: there was a period of time where Andre would call 240 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: up from the Commonwealth and the dog would bark a 241 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 1: little bit. And the last couple of weeks, every time 242 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: Andrea starts talking, bark bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark. Oh, 243 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: I mean it's not stop, Danny, It's not stop. It's insane. 244 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: So I don't know he sent he sent photos. Now, 245 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: if I do end up back in Boston, hopefully i'll 246 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: meet Andre and i'll meet the I'll meet the dog, 247 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: and I will make a determination at that point. But yeah, God, 248 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: so work burk burk bark, bark, bark, bark bark. How 249 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: dare you all right? Next up on the mailbag, Joe 250 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: from New York. Right, since says Ben and Danny, where 251 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: can I find Benny Versus the Penny in twenty twenty five? 252 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: You did not say on your Friday podcast where the 253 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: show will be? 254 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 3: Oh no, please don't tell me you're gonna have me 255 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 3: produce it again. 256 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: Well, we don't. We do not know the correct answer 257 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: at this point, Danny. I mean there's a possibility it 258 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,239 Speaker 1: does return to the podcast. 259 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 3: No, that we're gonna have Looney produce that. 260 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: Then, well, I don't know what's gonna happen. There's all 261 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: and there's all kinds of things. That is my intellectual 262 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: property at this point, so believe it or not, there 263 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: are other people that are interested in Benny Versus the 264 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: Penny on other platforms. So the answer at this point 265 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: is to be determined. So all right, we have not 266 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: made a formal decision. There are some conversations that are 267 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: underway with people that actually want unlike NBC that didn't 268 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: want to show anymore, people that actually want the show. 269 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: So we'll see if the problem is we're late in 270 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: the game. You know how this stuff works. These deals 271 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: are normally done months in advance. They're normally done way 272 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: in advance. We got a poll axe by NBC at 273 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: the very final minute, which gave us really no time 274 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: to get a new deal. 275 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 3: If the Penny has the season off, you know the 276 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 3: old pip hop saying, keep them eager to listen, Eric 277 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 3: being rock chem style, so people will be clamoring for 278 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 3: the Penny Show for next season. 279 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: Well, there's that. I mean's certainly that. So at this point, 280 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: as we sit here on August third, there is no 281 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: answer yet. But one thing's for sure, Danny, I'm not 282 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: afraid of promoting the hell out of crap. I'm not 283 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: afraid of promoting the hell out of stuff. So I 284 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: will let people know, just like people were upset with me, Danny, 285 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: because I did not say what the future was it 286 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: Benny versus the Penny I said, you got to listen 287 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: to the Friday fifth Hour podcast to find out, right, 288 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: So I tossed that out and people they assumed that 289 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: I was the show was coming back. So people were 290 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: sending me congratulatory letters. I'm so glad the TV show 291 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: is coming back. You know, they're all fired up. And 292 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: I was like, no, you know what happens we assume Nanny? Yeah, 293 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: yeahs Blind Scott is really shaken by this, really upset 294 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: by this, threatening to quit the show. Blind Scott all right, 295 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: Reggie from Detroit writes in says, hey, Ben and Danny. 296 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: He says, Ben, why don't you and Tom do a 297 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: show for NBC that's not about gambling. You said that 298 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: the problem was you couldn't get a sponsor because it 299 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: was a gambling show. So just do a regular show 300 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: without gambling. That's a great idea, Reggie. I'm sure. I'm 301 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: sure they'll just give us a TV show? Why not? 302 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: Is that how that works? 303 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 2: Danny? 304 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: You just say, hey, why not just give us a 305 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: TV show? Yeah? 306 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys can replace Colbert? 307 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: Oh my god, yeah, well we got the Colbert, but 308 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: he gets to do his show till what may. He's 309 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: not gonna make it till May. Right, they're gonna take 310 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 1: him off the year before May, Colbert right. 311 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 3: You would think you would think. 312 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: So, I'm gonna predict the holiday season starts around Thanksgiving, 313 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: I'll bet you somewhere, because those shows usually go pretty 314 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: dark around there, don't they. 315 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 3: You don't think he's gonna make it to Black Friday? 316 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: Well, I think they'll just be like he's gonna take 317 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: vacation and then never come back. That's my that's my guess. Boy, 318 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: do I know? 319 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 3: All right? 320 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: Next up, Steve from Seattle writes in on. 321 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 3: The mail Bag. 322 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: Here, he says, Ben and Danny, Ben, I'm sorry about 323 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: your TV show being executed by NBC, he says, on 324 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: a positive note, uh, he said, did you see the 325 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: controversy with Sydney Sweeney?

Well, James, thank you first of all for emailing. Secondly, A, 385 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: even though I told Coop to give it to have 386 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: Angry Bill give his number, Coop never gave me Angry 387 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: Bill's numbers, so I still don't have Angry Bill's number. 388 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: And B I am slightly can concerned that Angry Bill 389 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: that beep you heard in the background was not a 390 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: smoke detector.

You know how 393 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: when you're I remember when I would visit my relatives 394 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 1: in the hospital I was younger, and sometimes, depending on 395 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: how fed up they were, there'd be that in the background, 396 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: you know, like some machine. So I don't know for 397 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 1: sure that's it, James, but I'm concerned that that might 398 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: be what you were hearing in the background because Bill 399 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: stopped calling for a while. He said he had a 400 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: medical problem, and so, uh yeah, I am a little 401 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: concerned by that.
