He's the last remnants 0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:12.520 of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.520 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:19.639 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to Clearinghouse of 0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:23.520 hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour 0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:30.720 with Ben Mallard starts right now. 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:34.600 In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with me, Ben 0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:37.839 Mallor and Danny G. Happy Saturday to you, a college 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:46.000 football Saturday, a baseball Divisional Round Saturday, and Danny G 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:50.479 is alongside as we navigate the early part of the day. 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:52.760 But people listen to those podcasts whenever they want to 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:56.160 listen to this podcast, Danny, So we're here early, but 0:00:56.320 --> 0:01:00.400 we're here whenever you want. The magic of podcast the 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:01.680 beauty of podcasting. 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:07.200 Yeah, it is a Yamamoto kind of Saturday. Yes, live 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:09.720 up to that money. You didn't earn your money during 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:13.600 the regular season, so earn your money in the playoffs, 0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:15.840 and all past sins will be forgiven. 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:16.440 Right. 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.400 Just the parrot what you did when you pitched in Japan, 0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:23.160 and do that in the playoffs here and there will 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:27.160 be a monsoon of Dodger winns. So I've done the 0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:32.200 math on this, and as long as Yamamoto and Flaherty 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:36.840 pitch well, the Dodgers should play in the Nation League 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:40.840 Championship Series right now. The other problem is the bullpen, 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:44.360 and they're gonna have to rotate eight million pitchers and 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.039 everyone's gonna have to be right. But that's every team 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.680 in baseball. Every team plays the same way. It's like 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:54.680 the other day, I was watching the Mets and the Brewers, right, 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:58.360 and one day it's the Mets reliever who doesn't have 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:02.200 it and deliver the pitch. It blows the game and 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:05.000 so the Brewers win. Then the next day, well, I 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.560 actually both pitched. The Mets had a guy that didn't 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:11.440 pitch well, and then the Brewer guy said, hold my beer. 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:15.520 He went out there and he was scrambling around. It 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:19.720 was a disaster. So but it's fine. Playoff baseball is 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:23.200 always always cool, and we're allowed to talk baseball more 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:26.080 when the playoffs are going on, and we're not normally 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.040 a baseball during the regular season because it's boring and 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:30.919 the players are boring, and it's. 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.440 Going to say as an on air producer, I always 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:36.320 get kind of fidgety whenever Covino and Rich talk too 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:39.919 much baseball, because in my mind, I feel like people 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:40.840 are tuning out. 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:45.280 Yeah, like I limited, and if you say, if you 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.880 were designing a pie, like what goes into the pie? 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:52.280 What kind of ingredients? It's you know, the pies. The 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:57.160 pies mostly NFL, and then but depending on what else 0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.320 is going on, like there's a big personality in the 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:03.799 other like back basketball, we'll talk about that, but the baseball. 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:05.720 I was actually talking to a buddy mine that does 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:10.720 radio back East, and we were discussing and he likes baseball. 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:12.600 He's kind of around my age and our age, and 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:17.680 he grew up loving baseball, and he's like baseball as 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:21.960 an industry does not. I don't know what the right 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:25.360 word I'm looking for is, but they just don't supply 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:31.160 the content that would provide great sports bait, great sports conversation. 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:35.680 Just not a lot of meat on the bone. Now, 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:39.440 in the playoffs it happens organically, but during the regular 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:41.120 season there's just not a lot there. 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:47.240 Football, no matter college, mostly NFL. Of course, it's compelling 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:52.600 to the listeners, Baseball not so much, but in small doses. 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.880 But even college football, it's got to be there's only 0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:01.000 about ten to twenty programs that you can get away 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:01.720 with talking. 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.360 About coaches in drama. 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.600 Yeah, well that's everything, But that's the thing like baseball, 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.560 there's not a lot oft We saw a couple of 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.800 stories this week that I thought were good sports radio stories. 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:18.400 One involved a team that has no fans other than 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:21.920 my guy, Marlin's Man, where the owner came in there 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:26.400 and went scorched earth and just napalmed. Everybody got fired, 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:30.919 seventy staffers, he filed, He fired the guy that cleans 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:34.920 the jockstraps, because clearly it was that guy's fault that 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:37.400 the Marlins had a bad team on the field, and 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:42.640 the traveling secretary who booked the hotels and all that 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.360 he got, like, I mean, the whole thing. So like 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:50.120 that was I found that amusing. And the Padres trying 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:54.080 to block the dogs and which is such a bush league. 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.520 They do it every year. It's so bush league, and 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:58.160 they they're so stupid. 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.039 Why do they do the day a bunch of b 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:02.920 trying to block the blue out of their stadium. 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:06.239 You're just going to motivate more Dodger fans to spend 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:11.280 three hours driving just around San Clemente and Santao free 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:15.320 to get to San Diego. And you're just gonna annoy them. 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.920 But it's a futile effort, Danny. If a Dodger fan 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:21.040 wants to go, the podre fan has proven they will 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.760 sell their tickets and they have this thing called the 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:28.360 secondary market. And one thing I know about my Dodger fans, 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.919 they are not afraid to spend their money on tickets. 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:36.200 They will spend their money to get into these ballparks. Yes, 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:43.120 So on this podcast we have the monk Man, sad Doggies, 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:47.000 no parking, no peace, Pop goes to the culture. You 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:48.200 got the idiom of the week. I had a lot 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.640 to get to, but we'll start with this. So Buddhist 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.719 monk taking a valve silence. We've all heard that phrase. 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:56.960 I would assume at one point or another, a Buddhist 0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:03.000 monk taking a valve silence. Now, I canceled last weekend 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:07.760 all of my plans, all of my plans, in an 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:14.120 effort to recover from my purple burned tongue. My purple 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.039 tongue for burning my tongue eating food too fast, and 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:21.440 then reinjuring it pretty much every day. So I was 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:23.360 usually go out with the wife, we do stuff. I said, 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:26.640 I can't do anything. My mouth, Yeah, it's all messed up. 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:30.400 And then I was going to watch some football. We 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:33.800 were going to pick our college game and we do 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.480 this everyone my gambling buddy, and we load up on 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:40.560 the game, go big on the game, and then we 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:42.760 you know, I make I'll make like cheese steak or 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:45.080 pizza or something like that, have a cheat meal, and 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:46.520 we'll bet a lot of money on the game. And 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:48.160 he come over and it's just a lot of fun. 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:51.080 But I said, I can't do that all because of 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.440 my tongue. Daddy, that's how messed even I did. This 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:55.040 podcast was so messed up. 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.120 Man, did you try the peroxide? 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:02.479 I did try the side uh, and I felt like 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:06.080 it helped my wife. So we shouldn't be doing that 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.560 that whole thing. But I didn't die, Yeah, but not die. 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:13.440 But she's all good whatever. But she reads everyone reads 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:16.480 everything on the internet. Who knows what what's not? So anyway, 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:21.000 the I call me monkman mallor like a Buddhist monk. 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:26.200 And I read that the Buddhist monk they meditate and 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:29.240 they have the valve silence. It's part of their spiritual practice, 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:34.240 and it's to deepen their understanding of themselves, their relationship 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:38.720 with the world, and that valve silence. It's a discipline 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:42.040 of the mind. And I want to point out I 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.680 did not have any of that. I do not have 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:48.000 a better understanding of myself. I do not have a 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:51.560 better understanding of the world. I have anger that I 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:57.040 couldn't really eat anything good, and also anger that I 0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:59.320 was so stupid that I burned my tongue because I 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:01.360 ate too fast and I didn't let the food cool 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:05.360 down like I'm a child, and it pisses me off, 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:07.720 which is almost as bad. Now, I will say, Nanny, 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:12.560 side by side, side by side. The time a couple 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:14.080 of years ago, I think I was working with you 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:16.600 when I bit my tongue. 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:18.840 Oh yeah, I remember that. 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.480 That was much worse. So if you have to choose 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:25.440 between burning your tongue, I could still somewhat function and 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.840 pretend like I was not injured. But I could not 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.200 do that. When I bit my tongue, I sounded like 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:35.400 Lou Holtz and it was really bad. And that, as 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:37.959 I point out, one of the great things that I've 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:41.800 learned doing this job. Overnight, Danny is I can have laryngitis, 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.000 I can have a lisp because I bit my tongue, 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:46.719 and no one says, hey, Ben, you might want to 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:49.719 take the night off. No, No, nobody said up saying 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:51.360 I just keep doing it, just keep doing the show. 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:55.080 It's awesome. It is so fun that no one, no 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.200 one cares. It's just amazing. 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.760 But are you saying our supervisor aren't up in the 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:02.120 middle of the night listening to you. 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:04.640 Yeah, I'm just saying, even if they're not, they might 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.800 hear the promos of me sounding like Lou Holtz at 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:11.000 Notre Dame back in like nineteen, you know, eighty whatever. 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:12.800 But anyway, I digress. 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.320 That part kills me. There's a promo I don't think 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:20.000 it plays anymore. Finally, but there was a long standing 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:23.000 promo of you on the network and you could tell 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:24.000 that you have a cold. 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:25.800 Oh yeah, yeah yeah. 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.120 And I'm like, that's the one clip they find of 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:31.679 Malord that it used to run like, I don't know, 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:33.080 I'd hear it like once a day. 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:37.880 Yeah, well even last week. Coop will come in and 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.920 he'll throw He's like, hey, we got to record these spots. 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:42.680 You know, he'll throw me commercials and I'm like, my 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:48.920 tongue is killing me. It sound terrible. And also when 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.160 I don't get sick very often, I've been pretty lucky. 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:53.480 With the garlic stuff that I do, I usually avoid 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.959 any major illness. I'll probably get very sick now because 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.160 I said that, I'll jinx myself. But I've been pretty 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:02.400 lucky to last ap years in terms of cold flu stuff, 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:07.040 COVID whatever. And but inevitably, the few times I have 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:10.440 gotten sick have been during periods of the time where 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.920 we have to record a lot of commercials and then 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.360 those things play for three or four months, and it's 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:18.760 every time I hear them, I'm like, oh god, this 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.120 is so bad. I get sad, but I'm not a 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.680 sad doggie. I'm not a sad doggie, Danny, I'm not. 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.440 Yeah, a quick tip of the microphone to you, Ben. 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.880 You gave me and my oldest pair of Raider tickets 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:35.800 for last weekend. 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:41.360 Yeah, I'm glad you were able to use my I 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:44.440 know a guy who knows a guy who knows a 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:48.040 guy who knows a guy. Yes, I know you love 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:52.599 the Raiders, and I obviously couldn't go, and I'm not 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:55.160 ram fan anyway, and I wanted to. I wanted to 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.360 make sure you got to at least one Raider game 0:10:57.840 --> 0:10:59.760 this year, and you were able to. You were in 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.320 I know you've been there before. How was this experience though? 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:06.080 Noah, So the last game I went to, the first 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:09.040 game I attended ever at the Death Star was the 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:15.520 classic Chandler Jones game where Mac Jones got trampled by him. Yeah, 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:20.120 stiff arm with the Patriots making the bad decisions there 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.440 at the very end of the game that would have 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:26.480 went to overtime instead, as you remember, the Raiders walk off. 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:32.120 So that game finished on the final play in spectacular fashion, 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.679 and you still will see replays once in a while 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:38.840 people say, probably the best Raiders game so far in 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:43.679 that stadium. How can I trump that? You fired billions 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:47.559 and billions and billions. I'm like, all right, so we're 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:51.040 going to drive. Do the stop in Barstow for breakfast 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:52.240 del Taco? 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.000 What chain restaurant did you go to in Barstow? 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:57.960 Used the McDonald's that's in the train cars? 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:01.440 They Oh, yeah, classic McDonald's. Is the Panda Express still there? 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.160 It is? Yeah, that route sixty six. 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:08.360 There is interesting, you know, because half of it is 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:11.160 abandoned and the other half is crowded. 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.120 Yeah, and they have every shain restaurant you There's a 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:17.760 Freddy's if you want smash Burgers they have. I've driven 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:19.679 to Vega. I don't fly to because I'm a pretty 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:21.800 drive every time, so I know all the desert spots. 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:23.760 There's Peggy Sus Diner if you want. 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.520 I thought of you when I passed Peggy SU's hermo's. 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:28.760 You thought of Eddie when you saw Eddie World, which 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.960 is also in yourmal Your mo's are really happened in town. 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.320 There's so much going on. You there's a Raising Canes 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.559 out in the desert. Now they have a few raising 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:40.760 canes out that way too. Not really a good breakfast place, though. 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.600 I had a pretty good plan in place because I 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:48.480 booked in Advanced the Orleans. Yeah, and that was strategic 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.840 because they have free parking, one of the few casinos 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:52.679 with free parking. 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:54.080 Is huge. 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:57.800 Yeah, and it's close to a Legion Stadium, so I 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:01.959 figured we'll get there two hours before the game free parking. 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:04.640 Our room won't be ready yet, but we could check 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.720 our bags and have them held and then get a 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:11.400 lift or an uber to the stadium. Yeah, and so 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:17.160 that's what we did. Modello SURVEYSA they had a tailgate 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:20.400 party going which was cool with giveaways. They had like 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:25.720 a gym, plunket, bobblehead and free drinks and samples, and 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:27.720 the misters were out with fans. 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:28.800 Oh yeah, it was hot. 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:31.640 Oh yeah, it was a really hot day, one hundred 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:33.280 and four degrees there that day. 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.000 Now does it actually cool down in the stadium when 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:37.840 you're in the stadium, Is it feel comfortable? Is it's 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:38.400 still hot? 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:42.079 Cools way down once you're inside the stadium. The only 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:45.520 problem there with the design of that stadium, I would 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:48.920 say the seats are made first, I feel like for 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:52.640 smaller people at least the section we were in, because 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.440 we felt a little crammed. The body heat around me 0:13:56.840 --> 0:14:00.640 made me hot. Guys, I felt a little too cram 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:02.800 next to the big fat guy that was next to me. 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:08.520 Other than that, though you got a fabulous view inside 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:11.720 that stadium. The way they designed it, you don't feel 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:13.960 like any of the seats are sloping or there's an 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:17.560 incline like you do it so far at Allegiance. You 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:20.480 feel like no matter where you're at inside, you have 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:22.040 a really good view of the field. 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.480 Yeah, it looks and I've not been inside. I've been 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:27.320 by at the Death Star from the outside, but it 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:31.400 looks great, and I'm glad it's cool. It's cooler in there, 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:33.520 because I remember when I did stuff with the Dodgers 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:37.400 when we'd go to Arizona and they have a dome, 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.760 but they'd leave it'd be like July and they'd leave 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:43.240 the dome open during bagging practice and they'd close it 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:45.760 like an hour and a half before the game, and 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:47.960 it was still blazing hots. Like, what's the point I 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.000 always said, like, what's the point of having a dome 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:52.480 if you're gonna leave it open all day and then 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:54.480 close it right before the game. It doesn't like it's 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:58.040 still like ninety degrees in What are you doing? Anyway? 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.160 Me off, But it was hot there, but you were 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:03.400 you were having Raider fans. What was the percentage of 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:04.080 Raider fans? 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:06.560 That was gonna be my next quick point. 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.520 As we're going up the escalator to the second level, 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.680 there there are some Browns fans right next to us, 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:16.360 and one of them, with his chest pumped out, tells 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:19.720 his buddy who's got orange face paint on. By the way, 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:22.800 he says, this is a home game. This is like 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:26.040 a home game for us, and they're doing their barking 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.360 chants and everything, and my son and I look at 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:33.400 each other like wow, wow, and it got worse. Man, 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:37.840 I had no idea that Browns fans could be so obnoxious. 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:42.600 They haven't won anything, right, No, not in my life 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:44.400 and not in my lifetime either. 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.080 They have what they have. I've noticed the Browns fans, 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:48.440 and I think they have a little bit of that 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:54.680 Bill's mafia, that that region, you know, the Great Lakes region, gritty, 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:58.160 you know, that that whole vibe, except at least the 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:01.720 Bills now are good and at least they can back 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:02.520 it up a little bit. 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:05.600 But yeah, yeah, And that was my one hope was 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:09.600 that the creepy quarterback would you know, wet the bed 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:13.120 and Amari Cooper would have some big drops and their 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:16.480 vaunted defense would make some mistakes. 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:20.480 Appeared that the brown scored a touchdown until they did, 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:21.800 you know, right away. 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.440 Yeah, because that happened in our end zone where we 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:26.760 were sitting and we saw the hold right in front 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:30.000 of us. Oh he actually the Brownie got a hold 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:33.240 of some jersey besides grabbing the player. 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.200 I was watching on TV. I did not see it, 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:37.040 and so I thought, oh, oh crap. 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:41.120 There was a video where some sad Browns fans were 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:43.360 showing could you believe they called this a hold? But 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:47.720 it was from the other side, It's hard to see 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.160 what was going on, and of course they were showing 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:50.720 that angle. 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:52.720 It clearly was a hold. 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:56.720 The fans in my section that had this ugly pooh 0:16:56.720 --> 0:17:01.640 colored Brownie stuff on, they were very They were very opinionated. 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:04.240 They were very in your face type fans. That's what 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:08.199 surprised me, because no Raider fans were antagonizing them or 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:11.080 really paying attention to them. But there was this one 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:14.359 Browns fan in the row right above us, and anytime 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:16.960 the Browns did anything good in the game, he would 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:20.600 flip us the double birds. He was doing this the 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:24.359 whole game until Raiders defense stepped up big there shut 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:28.119 the door on the Browns. Raiders win the game, walk 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:31.440 off with that defensive play. The Raiders fans that are 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:34.359 in attendance are jumping up and down, celebrating as you 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:40.760 would imagine, and these Brownies fans, who were very confident 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:45.720 and very loud and very bark tacular. The amount of 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:49.760 barking they do is amazing. They even did a thing 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:51.800 where they would like do account and then they would 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:53.400 all bark on Q together. 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:55.159 Oh sacredie barking. 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:55.840 That's good. 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:58.600 Yes, I saw that at a dog park one. 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:03.840 After that walk off defensive play by the Raiders, I 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:06.480 was videotaping the guy who had been flipping us the 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:09.359 double birds, and I was barking at him and telling 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:11.520 him to have a nice trip home, don't let the 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:12.800 doors hitch. 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:13.760 You on the way out. 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:17.359 And when he walked past me, he said, if you 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:19.600 come to a Cleveland game, we'll show you what's up 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:23.000 there at he said to me, And I'm like, yeah, 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:25.160 first of all, I ain't going to a game in Cleveland, 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:28.040 but if I did, I wouldn't have my chest out, 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:30.080 you know, doing Raider chance in your face. 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:32.320 Buddy, Well you should have done is quoted the great 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:35.400 joke him Noah and said Cleveland. Who goes to vacation 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:38.520 with Cleveland. Yeah. 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:41.639 I felt like they thought that they were in a 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:45.440 much nicer Cleveland, and they really were acting as if 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.800 they were at a home game. Now, some of that 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:52.639 is the season ticket holder's fault. They didn't like the 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:56.639 performance the weekend before against the Panthers, which I understand, 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:58.600 but you don't give up on your team after one 0:18:58.640 --> 0:18:59.280 bad game. 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:03.480 It's a great investment if you live in Vegas, or 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:06.360 even if you're not in Vegas, it's a wonderful investment. 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:09.439 Those are the most expensive seats in the NFL. Every week, 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:13.159 like the Raiders have the most expensive tickets. So if 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:16.520 you live in Vegas and you buy at face value 0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:19.320 and then you can sell every ticket and make over 0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:21.760 face value, you're making money on it. And then maybe 0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:23.520 you want to go to a game or two and 0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:26.200 that's it, and then the rest of them you sell. 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:28.760 So I understand why people do it, but as a fan, 0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:32.159 it sucks, and especially a team like the Raiders that 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:35.760 always had such a passionate fan base and it was 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:39.280 always always, at least on TV, even when the Raiders 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:41.520 were bad, they always had tons of fans. 0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:46.440 Yeah, and that's that's the stark contrast, as the analysts 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:49.199 on TV would say, Because you're right. I was a 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:52.520 ten year season ticket holder in Oakland and if there 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:55.879 was a Browns family there, they would be Specs in 0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:59.080 the crowd because everything else would be silver and black. 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:02.800 You really could see the visitors there because they stood 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:05.479 out like a sore thumb. It was not a place 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:09.040 that visiting fans would go to. And then now in 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:12.119 Vegas it's the other way around, where you have so 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:17.080 many visiting fans inundating your stadium that it does feel 0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:19.800 almost like a home game for them, which could kind 0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:26.359 of get embarrassing. It was seventy percent Browns fans is 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:28.680 seventy percent. 0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:30.440 That's just too much. Man. 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:33.119 Now, we knew it was a trade off getting that 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:36.719 nice new stadium in a place like Vegas where people 0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:40.280 already visit and already make their plans to go to 0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:43.520 that city ahead of time, and now obviously, oh let's 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:46.600 make a weekend out of seeing our team there. We 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:49.600 knew the Raider fan base knew that the trade off 0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:52.479 was there's going to be a visiting fans now coming in. 0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:55.800 I didn't know at this clip though. That's what's bad 0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:58.520 is that half and half. Even I could live with 0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:03.640 seventy thirty. That's just that's well, that's pitiful. 0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:07.640 I mean, the Raiders actually become a real the Raiders 0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:10.600 have a chance to contend. I still believe even with 0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:12.760 all the drama that's going on, I still think they 0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:15.160 have a chance to contend for a wild card spot, 0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:16.520 because all you have to do is get to nine 0:21:16.600 --> 0:21:18.840 or ten wins, and they have enough bad teams they play. 0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:20.919 I lost to a bad team already, But if they 0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:23.119 just win a few of those games and they've already 0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:25.159 pulled an upset for a team that we thought they 0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:28.040
