The first sight of popcorn in Mexico was 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:24.000 with the as Techs, So shout out ASEX. Didn't they 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:29.000 do human sacrifices the as Tex the good and the bad? 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:31.479 They cooked up the popcorn? Wow? Who do you think 0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:35.000 the first person that figured out that you heat up 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:38.960 these corn seeds and you get the delicious popcorn. 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:40.840 It had to be a really creative Indian. 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.959 That must have been the most amazing mind bending moment. 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:49.840 When they figure that out, you think, wow, that's wild. 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.520 Yeah. And then who's the first one to put butter 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:52.920 on it? 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:55.600 Yeah? Yeah, butter? Sure. 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.320 And then who's the first person to put nacho cheese 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.200 or dip it into nacho cheese at the movie theater? 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:04.640 Now you're just blowing my mind. Now you're just blow. 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:10.000 By the way. Promotion today, all cinemak theaters are doing 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:12.520 a popcorn special. You don't even have to get a 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:16.720 movie ticket. You could walk into any cinemark with a bucket, 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:20.800 any bucket as long as it's clean, it says, any 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:26.119 clean bucket, and it's five dollars. Oh really, they'll fill 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:28.840 up to I think it's set up top. Yeah, I'll 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.360 check the gallons here. I forget how many. 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:34.440 But the big tubs that people get for holiday parties, 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.520 those big plastic tubs you. 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:43.960 Mentioned going I'm bringing my hamper, why not? What the hell? 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.760 There you go, your popcorn fun fact. So at fifteen nineteen, 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:48.960 the Aztecs, I guess, came up with it. And then 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:53.960 in sixteen fifty some dude from Peru was blown away 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:57.079 by this and wrote about it. Maybe inca terror. Our 0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.760 friend wrote about it, but or his some of relatives, 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.720 and he wrote this person wrote, they toast a certain 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:07.840 kind of corn until it bursts. They call it pisson 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:13.360 a colla. I believe I'm mispronouncing that. But anyway, that 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:17.840 became became popular, and it wasn't until the nineteen twenties. 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:21.079 Many theaters refused to sell popcorn. They thought it was 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:25.240 too messy. In the nineteen twenties, those people called idiots, 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.400 that's what they are. But wasn't that case Like in 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:32.399 those days, Danny, people got dressed up to go see 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.720 a show. Remember of the movies was a big deal. 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:36.600 You get all dressed up, all dulled up to go 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.480 out there and put on your church clothes and kind 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.640 of like flying. Oh yeah, line, they would get all 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:45.760 dressed up to fly. Now people look like absolute pigs. 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.720 Oh, by the way, I found it here, it's up 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:53.560 to three gallons any container tote or back. 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:58.960 So you get like get a couple of you know, 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:02.840 two or three, three, boom, you're good. Ninety two. According 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:06.600 to a national survey over nine and ten Americans ninety 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:09.640 two like popcorn and the others must be allergic to it. 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:10.920 That must be it. 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:12.760 That's good. Yeah. The only thing I don't like is 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:14.960 how the kernels get stuck in your teeth. 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:18.159 Yeah. I don't mind it because my move is I 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:20.359 mean what I do, Danny as I go out and 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:23.560 I get the toothpick. That's my move. That annoys me 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:25.640 the wife though, because I'm picking up my teeth and 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:26.640 she gets annoyed by that. 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:31.120 My wife, she does the same thing. She has those picks, 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:35.239 the floss picks. Yeah, yeah yeah, and she sawing away 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.320 and I'm like, how long are you going to do that? 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.440 I'm a big toothpick person. I believe in the toothpick. 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:41.280 I'm pro toothpick. 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:43.520 I believe it. I could I could picture you with 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:44.760 a toothpick behind your ear. 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:46.640 Yeah, well I'm not behind my ear. 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:50.000 Wait, can you remove tarder at home? No? 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.400 We got today in the end, if I got rams Eagles, 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:59.520 that'll be kicking off just after noon our time, three 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.920 o'clock in east and then the game everyone's been looking 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:06.599 for to snow, snow, snow. The sports with Coleman Bowl 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:11.320 as he takes on Bill's Mafia Ravens and Bills. That's 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:14.600 gonna be awesome. That's not late late. That's three thirty 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.480 our times, six thirty Eastern times, so it's not at 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:18.159 night night. 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.080 Was that a pick them when you gambled on it 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:23.400 when we. 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:29.120 Did the show Thursday after noon? And the Ravens were 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:32.279 a point and a half favorite, I believe at that time. 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:36.880 So, but we're looking forward to it. Who'd you take 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:37.360 in that game? 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:39.800 Well, you watch Benny versus the Penny find out. But 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.440 I did take the I took the Bills. I took 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:46.599 the Bills at home Snow game. I still don't trust 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:50.320 Lamar Jackson. Although this is a legacy as I said 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:52.000 on the TV show, this is a legacy deal for 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:53.800 Josh Allen, who's gonna win the MVP. 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:55.760 And if you. 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:59.000 Look at his career, he's already lost at home in 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:02.120 the playoff to Mahome and Joe Burrow, and if he 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.960 loses to Lamar Jackson, you start questioning things. They're like, 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:06.600 what's going on? 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:08.479 This is you know, what are you doing? 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:12.440 You've lost your contemporaries and this is that this is 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:16.320 this generation of great quarterbacks and so all four of them, 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:18.000 they're judged against each other. 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.440 Ah. I can't wait for this game. I feel like 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.200 Derek Henry is going to be a big part of 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:22.719 this game. 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:26.800 Yeah, you would think the Bills their defense is average, 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.760 but I still won't know about the Ravens defense. They 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.840 played very well the last part of the year, and 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.600 really it lasts like seven or so games, and I'm 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:38.240 still a little skeptical. And the Bills and Ravens played 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:40.359 early in the year and the Ravens just kicked the 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.520 shit out of the Bills. But the Bills were without 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:46.360 seven defensive starters, Amari Cooper, who's hit and miss as 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:48.200 you know because he played for the Raiders. But Amari 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.760 Cooper wasn't on the team at that time. And I 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:52.960 don't know how much throwing is going to happen because 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:57.320 of the snow. So well, I'll be locked in. We'll 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.560 look forward to that game later today. We have we 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:02.640 have actual mail. We have people that sent mail in 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:03.960 they want us to answer their question. 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:21.720 Oh it's about that time, mail, mother sucker, It's here 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:22.200 we go. 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:27.800 This is from Alf's neighbor Mike in Siberia aka Fullerton, 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:32.040 And by the way, thanks to Ohio Al love the tune, 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:33.080 appreciate that. 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:34.320 The great Ohio Al. 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.400 Says, Hi, Ben and Danny G not to get political, 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:41.640 but you know what that means, Danny, that means everything 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:45.280 about to get political, everything before the word but everything 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:48.560 before the word but is a lie. And he says, 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:52.800 are you aware that Donald Trump's inauguration is tomorrow? It's 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:56.360 Martin Luther King the weekend, Donald Trump. Yeah, any G's 0:07:56.360 --> 0:08:00.120 buddy will be reinaugurated as the president. Do you think 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.480 you'll watch more of that or the college football championship 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.200 game on Monday night. I know you guys are more 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.440 in the sports radio world than political, but I still 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:12.160 think it's a good question. For all, I know Danny 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:14.600 G might make a personal appearance at one of the 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:19.240 presidential balls. He does have an inn with President Trump. 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:22.840 And there's another question, So we'll do the other one 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.440 in a second, but let's start with that. So I 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.480 don't know exactly what time the inauguration is, believe it 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:31.360 or not. I do like polics, whether it's Democrats or Republicans. 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:34.120 I obviously lean more one way than the other. I 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:35.520 think you kind of know that if you listen to 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.840 the show or whatever, But I like watching that. Although 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:42.920 this is an anniversary for me. It was January twentieth 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:47.000 of nine when I got whacked. I was poll axed 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:51.280 by the company the day that Barack Obama was sworn 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:56.640 in as president. So this I have a little PTS 0:08:56.679 --> 0:09:01.600 post traumatic syndrome situation when they inauguration Day happens, because 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:07.160 it brings back some tough memories. But I will check 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:08.920 some of it out. I think it happens kind of 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:12.839 later in the afternoon, maybe early afternoon our time, so 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:17.200 I will I'll watch some of it, mainly to see 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:19.920 how uncomfortable a lot of people probably will be, Danny, 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:23.280 because there's a lot of people there that aren't big 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.120 fans of mister Trump, and so they'll be upset, and 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.360 so always get a kick out of that. People freak 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:30.800 things that you don't need to freak out about that 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:33.839 they freak out about. So it's pretty funny. So I 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:35.360 don't know about you're gonna be watching any of that. 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:37.960 You'll be working. I assume are you off, You're not awfun? 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:42.040 No, we'll be working the Covino and Rich Show. I'll 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.400 watch some of it same as you. I'll watch more 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:48.679 of the football game obviously, but it doesn't matter Democrat 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.640 or Republican is being sworn in. I'll always watch a 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:53.360 little bit of it, And then you want to see 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.640 some of the performances too, Like there was some controversy 0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:01.559 quote unquote controversy that Carrie Underwould is going to be performing. 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.960 What I really want to see with her is how 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:08.040 she can't make any emotional look on her face. She 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:11.600 can't look happy, she can't look sad, She only looks 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:13.840 surprised because of all the plastic surgery. 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:18.880 She's spent a lot of her money she's put in 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:20.920 where her mouth is and her nose. 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:22.880 And her eyes and all that stuff. 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:26.240 Yeah, it doesn't it feel a little different though, you know, 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:28.559 not that this is political, however, it does feel a 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:30.880 little different like when the last time, it's like so 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.080 it seems like a lot of like anger and upset, 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.520 Like Trump won the popular vote this time, So it 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.120 seems a little different. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know. 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:40.360 Just seems a little different. 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:44.520 Yeah, I think it's a little bit different because more 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:48.280 people came out this time were open about who they 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:51.360 voted for and weren't hesitanting about it at all. 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:53.760 Yeah, and the people the doom and gloomers on the 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:55.600 world's going to end and all that stuff. If Trump 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:58.199 becomes president, well, he was president for four years and 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:00.720 things are actually better by the time time he left 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.959 than when you know, he came in, and now things 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:09.160 were worse when Biden left as opposed to Trump. So 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.520 I don't know, good luck to Biden man. He's not 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:12.240 in good health. 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:12.800 I don't I don't know. 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:14.880 Who knows how much time he's got left, So hopefully 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:18.760 he enjoys his final final years as the former president. 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:24.480 Let's see alf alf Mike and Fullerton also says, what 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.120 is the longest shower you guys have ever taken? Do 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.679 you think you could take a longer shower than the 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:34.680 master of the two hour shower, Helmet Man if you tried. Yeah, 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:36.719 I don't know if you heard Danny, probably not. But 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.880 Helmet Man called to show the other night and informed 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:43.040 us that his showers are now down to half an 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:46.720 hour before he would take two hour showers. 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.199 I saw one of your listeners tweeting about this after 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:50.880 it happened. 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:55.840 Yeah, two hour showers half of the morning. 0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:01.640 That's insane, man, That's not a shower's that's sitting in 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:05.040 a jacuzzi. I mean, yeah, you can't even you can't 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.320 even sit in a jacuzzi for two hours. 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:11.240 Yeah, your fingers turned to grapes and stuff after, you know, 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:13.439 they get the all squiggly and the skin gets all 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:15.680 So I think he must go in and out of 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:17.760 the shower. Next time he calls, I forgot to ask 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.520 him the other But next time he calls, I have 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:22.040 to say, what's going on? 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.520 How does he afford that water bill? 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:29.920 Right, it's ridiculous, it's absolutely he's got to be at 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:34.040 a hostel. Well, I know he's got an Obama phone. 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:36.960 We're the number one show on Fox Sports Radio for 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.600 people with Obama phones. So my show, the Overnight Show, 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:43.280 Holy crap. So I'm not sure my showers about. I 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.520 don't time it, but it's you know, it feels like 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:49.040 seven to ten minutes at the most, and that's about it. 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:51.880 Probably a little less than that in and out. That's 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:53.679 what a shower is all about. Don't spend a lot 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:57.200 of time in there and get done. And now my 0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:59.560 one thing that I go a little over the top 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.840 on is I will I will before I take a bath. 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.120 I shower before the bath, which is wrong, but I 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:06.720 don't want to get in the bath all dirty, because 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:08.000 then I'm just sitting in the dirt. 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:12.600 Oh that's different. I've never heard of that move. Yeah. 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:17.280 You know what's really nice A long hotel shower. Oh yeah. 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:18.840 And in the hotel, it's. 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.240 Oh, hotel, you can double the time of your shower. 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:24.760 Yeah, for sure. No, I agree with you on that. 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:27.280 I agree. And the water doesn't count in the hotel 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.280 when you go the water, it's yeah, the. 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:34.640 Oh god. 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:40.000 Anonymous writes and says, I live next to a Senior 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:43.600 citizen center and I am disabled, so I can go 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:47.640 there to the food pantry. I realized that the grocery 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.200 store down the street is giving the food to the pantry, 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:52.640 so I went to the food pantry and then gave 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:55.960 the items to my mom to return to the grocery store. 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:59.320 I told my mom that, you know, at the grocery store, 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:02.120 they got me the wrong items. Can you return these 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:06.040 for me? It's been successful for about six months. Have 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:08.560 you ever found a loophole in the system like this 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.880 before you were Danny g that you were able to 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:16.160 capitalize on like I am doing. And this is again 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:20.960 from Anonymous, So this person Danny is claiming that they're rigging. 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:24.640 They're taking money from the grocery store. The money, so 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:26.520 how's the way. So the money, I assume that's a 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.400 tax rite off for the grocery store. The food that 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:31.280 they don't sell they give to the Senior Citizen Center 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.280 and they get money back from the government. Right, I 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:35.440 assume that's how that works. 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:36.920 Yeah, that's what I would assume. 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:41.880 Yeah, I would say be careful, anonymous. At some point 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:44.800 someone's going to figure that out and then you're gonna 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:48.240 have some explaining to do. But I guess if you're disabled, 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.920 you can play the disabled card. But your mom's not disabled, 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:54.560 so that might be a problem. So good luck. I'm 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:57.600 trying to think any loophole, Danny. I. I really haven't 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:02.720 done anything along those other than like media freeloading. Other 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:03.720 than that, but. 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:05.960 That's not and that's on the up and up. That's 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:06.880 not freeloading. 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.080 Yeah, exactly, that's what I say. 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:12.080 You know, that's pretty I mean, they have official online 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:14.920 forms for that, so there's nothing illegal about it. 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:19.160 Yeah, I know they have. They invite you when you 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:21.640 go to these bits, and they have certain foods that 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:23.360 you can have and all that, and I mean that's 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:24.880 all it's all good. 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:27.160 Yeah. I mean, the only way we do all these 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:30.560 iHeart training videos every year. The only way we could 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:33.760 get into trouble is if we did like little Wink 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:37.080 Wink commercials for companies on the air that weren't approved. 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:41.080 Yeah it's called Paola. Yeah, you're get in trouble for that. 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:45.520 By the way, this podcast is being brought to you 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:52.480 by Puma. You know what you're laughing about. I don't know. 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:56.320 It seems seems these brand new Puma X three's on 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:59.360 right now. I gotta tell you, Ben, they're super comfortable. 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:01.520 I wore them all all day yesterday while I was walking. 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:02.320 Is that right? 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:02.640 Really? 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:03.480 What color are they? 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:08.280 They're gray in the Puma logos black. We get them 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:10.880 in all colors, though. Just go to Puma dot com 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:15.560 check it out. That is not a real model of 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:16.600 a shoe. That is a joke. 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:21.880 Uh all right, Next up, let's see Alf from the TikTok. 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:25.360 He says, Greetings, gentlemen, how will the TikTok band affect 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:28.640 your daily lives? For millions of Americans who rely on 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:32.680 the social media platform for their e commerce businesses, the 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:36.040 ban will put many out of work personally for me, 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:40.000 Alf says, as a conspiracy theorist, I rely on the 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:43.160 app to keep me up to date on the latest events, 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:47.600 from aliens in backyards to drones in the skies, Alf says, 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:51.920 most recently videos from the streets of California detailing the 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:56.200 devastation the fires continue to pour in. For example, I 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:59.880 saw a video detailing the efforts of a gang of 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:05.520 punks from Fullerton riding their electric scooters into la and 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:12.040 attempting to burn Genie's bench. This app is essential provide 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:16.000 the public with the unfiltered truth that the mainstream media 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:22.040 is hiding. Yeah, I'm not very funny. Well, I was 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.920 well written. That's why Alf sends us me mail every week. 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:27.320 That was one of his better efforts. That was a 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:30.800 solid job by Alf. Good job by you, Alf. Way 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:34.080 to go, my man. Yeah, so I'm not as you know, Alf, 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:38.000 you're my TikTok person. I'm not a TikTok guy. I 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.720 made the determination I can only have so much social 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:44.040 media in my life. I use it for work. I 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:47.800 remember this week. Give me example, my guy Sports with 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:50.840 Coleman was going to war with Bill's mafia. So he's 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:53.320 sending me messages, right, He's you know, we're going back 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:57.840 and for he's sending me messages and we're yapping whatever, 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:00.359 and he's like, did you see this on X or 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:02.480 Twitter or whatever. It's like, I'm not on I go 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.040 on there at night and he's on there all day 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:06.040 and I'm like, what are you doing? 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:06.399 You know? 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.280 And I go on Facebook to promote stuff. I'll go 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:12.520 on on Instagram because they got that, but that's about it. 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:15.760 That's my limit. I'm not on TikTok. I heard it's 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:18.760 really easy to have like tons of followers on this. 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:22.080 I probably should be, but I don't mess around with 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:24.679 it as far as I'm collecting stuff. And it's just 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:28.280 because it's China, like they to me, I know, going in, 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:32.480 if you're on Instagram and X and Facebook, they're collecting, 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:34.960 you are the product, right that old line. If you're 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:37.679 getting it for free, you are the product. So I 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:41.280 totally understand that the government claiming it's worse with TikTok 0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:44.800 because China has everyone's information and all that, and they 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:47.240 clearly have their reasons for it. Well see though, isn't 0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:49.679 the guy from TikTok's supposed to be at Trump's inauguration 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:52.000 tomorrow Danny, I think so. 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:54.920 So yeah, But I also heard that there are other 0:18:55.680 --> 0:19:00.560 heads of big corporations like that that are just autumnally 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:04.640 invited to a big inauguration like that. So I don't 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:08.240 know if that means anything special. But there's been rumors 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:11.040 that there could be a wealthy billionaire out there who 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:14.560 will buy TikTok and save it. We'll see what happens. 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:18.040 This is good timing though, because for show prep, Covino 0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:22.520 and Rich will always send TikTok clips and I can't 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:25.240 open them whenever they send it in the group chat 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:28.280 because I don't have a TikTok account either. So it's 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:31.600 frustrating because it'll be like a little sports reel or 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:34.280 a certain sports story. Can't open it. 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:38.920 Yeah, I'll get sensed stuff and I'll click, maybe see 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:40.600 it one time, and then that's. 0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:42.680 It doesn't even do that for me. It used to 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:45.720 let me see it once, okay, and for whatever reason, 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:47.680 the past few weeks, it won't even let me watch 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:48.920 it one time. Well. 0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:51.399 Fun fact, fun fact, fun fact. You know who's in 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:53.960 the lead. I read in one of the business papers 0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:58.520 this week to buy TikTok, mister wonderful, Yeah, mister wonderful. 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:04.240 The guy that, Yeah, Frank McCourt, who I know. I 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:06.199 knew him when he owned the Dodgers. I was in 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:10.320 his office at Dodger Stadium, and just the guy that 0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:13.359 was born on third base and got the money and 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:16.240 the family owned a bunch of parking lots in Boston 0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:19.639 and he's partner a billion. Every time you buy parking 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:22.800 at Dodger Stadium, you're you're helping out Frank McCort. 0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:25.640 Boy, he pooped all over the Dodgers. 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.639 Well we're getting the benefit of that. Because he was 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:30.879 so bad, they had to sell the team and that 0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:32.600 led to what we've got now, right. 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:34.520 If Yeah, that's a good way to look at it. 0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:37.919 Yeah, you had to put up with the bad to 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:41.560 get the good. Yeah. Absolutely. Anyway, all right, thank you. 0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:43.679 It's not true that he still owns a percentage of 0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:44.720 the parking lot. 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:48.240 Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah, no, he does, and he wants. 0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:50.280 I had some people from the Dodgers tell me last 0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:54.199 a couple of years ago that McCourt wants to develop 0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:56.240 the parking lots at Dodger Stadium. 0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:56.840 He wants to. 0:20:56.800 --> 0:21:00.560 Make a I guess in Atlanta at the Braves. I've 0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:02.240 not been to the bravest ballpark out in the suburbs. 0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:04.040 But they have like a hotel, they have an entertainment 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:08.200 zone with restaurants. He wants to make Dodger Stadium like. 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:12.000 That, like a city walk. He wants to do Dodger exactly. 0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:13.760 He wants to make it an entertainment thing with a 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:16.400 hotel where he'd get revenue from that. And so that's 0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:19.240
