First up as we begin come back, 48 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: pay attention. It's sign from me. I'll call okay, Alan 49 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: and Akron right since says, do you have an adequate 50 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: backup power supply at the Mallard mansion if you would 51 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: experience a rolling blackout or do you need to go 52 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: in studio whenever there is an energy emergency declared? Alan 53 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: looking at the headlines this week with the rolling blackouts 54 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: in California, So Alan, I do not have a backup 55 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: power supply. We do have solar at the Mallard Mansion. 56 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: I don't think that really matters when the power goes out. 57 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: I think since it's still tied into the power grid, 58 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: it's not like you because you have solar, you get 59 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: a break. And because we've had power outages with the 60 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: powers out in the whole neighborhood. So the one guardian 61 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: angel that we have doing the overnight show is typically 62 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: they won't have to shut the power off overnight, they 63 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: would shut the power off. Between four o'clock and nine 64 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: o'clock is prime usage because fortunately, uh, it's it's it's 65 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: a double edged sword, Danny doing the overnight show there, 66 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: they don't shut the power off because most people aren't 67 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: using power, they're sleeping, So it's we don't have to 68 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: worry about it. Yeah, when we've all been dealing with 69 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: three eighty dollar electric bills, and the reason why is 70 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: because you get home after work and you want to 71 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 1: enjoy your electronics and your air conditioning during those four 72 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 1: to six pm peak hours where California charges us ten 73 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: times the rate in those two hours. Yeah, it's it's 74 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: wild to me that the planners, the engineers, the politicians, 75 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: the people that are given the title to build the infrastructure, 76 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 1: which is ultimately the most important thing. Where people get 77 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: so concerned about so much bullshit that doesn't affect them, 78 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: but the base needs of keeping people cool in the summer, 79 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: warm in the winter, just the very basics, right, Shelter, 80 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: human shelter, which is one of the prime things we 81 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: all need. You need food, you need shelter, all right, 82 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: you need to feel safe. Those these are the primal 83 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: things that we all need, and yet these assholes who 84 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: are in charge of all that stuff have excuse my 85 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: French fucked it up so much that they tell people 86 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: when it's blazing hot, don't use the air conditioner. What 87 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: the fuck is that? Seriously, and I'm laughing at myself 88 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: thinking about the video. Gavin Newsom put out, Oh, yeah, 89 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: he was wearing a big sweater. Well that's actually that's 90 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: actually let's get to that because I'll let you ran 91 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: on that. But that's the next email. I got mail, yea, 92 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: I got mail, yea. Clifford National says, Then I was 93 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: watching your governor instructing California's turn their thervist that up 94 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: to seventy eight the greeze, he was wearing a fleece 95 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: jacket in his office. There was a heat wave. Is 96 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: it that cold and Sacramento. That's Danny your thoughts. I 97 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: think his air conditioning was blasting so much ben that 98 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: he needed a blanket at his desk. See, I have 99 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: an alternative theory on that, Danny. My theory is that 100 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: the governor was he was so so desperate for money 101 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: he figured somebody is marketing the apartments, like alright, Governor, 102 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: where the Golden Bear logo on your hat and your jacket, 103 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: and we'll sell some and then we'll be able to 104 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: buy some more wind turbines to get some power in California. 105 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: It's a marketing move. Was he at the French laundry 106 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: when he when he had that little video? I don't 107 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: such a dope. He's blow up all of the politics 108 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: in California. Start over again. Listen. I live in California, 109 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: and I have obviously my family and friends here, A 110 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: lot of them have moved to other states in the 111 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: Midwest and the East Coast and whatnot. But I mean, 112 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: this is when you deserve the people in California keep 113 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: voting for these idiots. What do you mean you deserve this. 114 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: I don't deserve I don't vote for this, Danny. I 115 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: don't think you. I don't know you're apology. I don't 116 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: think you vote for it. But they continue to vote 117 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: for this nonsense. So what do you think. It's ridiculous. 118 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: It's like fires. You know that if you have proper 119 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: forest management in California, you will not They talk about 120 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: global warming and all that, but proper forest management, which 121 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: means occasionally burning back the overgrowth in the forest, will 122 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: limit limit the fires. But do they do that, No, 123 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: because there's people hugging trees that say you can't do it. 124 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: So instead, people's homes burned down every year because they 125 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: they're afraid of offending the tree huggers. Come on, there's 126 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: gotta be balanced. I love treats, So my favorite place 127 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: to go is the Sequoia Sequoia forest. Those giant sequoia 128 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: trees there. I love it. But at the same time, 129 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: they've almost burned down every year, like the last five years. 130 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: It's it's three thousand year old trees because they won't 131 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: take care of the forest. And well, your first mistake 132 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: is you're bringing logic into this conversation exactly. That's a 133 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: bad job. Bad job by me thinking that people would 134 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: use common sense because common sense is not common We've 135 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: known that for some time. Alright. But you like my 136 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,679 Speaker 1: theory though, Danny, that he was trying to sell some hats. 137 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: I think he was trying to sell hats and jacketson 138 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: the government. He was just trying to show off his 139 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: air conditioning unit. Oh that could be too yeah, listen, Well, 140 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: it's like it's like during the COVID stuff. You know 141 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: that I can go out to the French laundry and 142 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: have a nice meal with my friends and co workers. 143 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: But you you better not. Are all gonna die. We're 144 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: all going to die, alright. Next up Chris and marre cocaa. 145 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: Iowa right, so he says, Dear Benny Brightside, I recently 146 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: hired a self employed person to grind some stumps in 147 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: my backyard. That sounds dirty. We had a handshake deal 148 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: to get the job done. He picked a weekend, he 149 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: said he would do it, and then I never heard 150 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: from him again, despite repeated contact efforts from me. My 151 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: question is, how do you feel with such unprofessional behavior. 152 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,199 Speaker 1: He's a younger guy, and I'm tempted to advise him 153 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: that ignoring customers is very bad for business and it's 154 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: very rude to waste people's time, but it would likely 155 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: fall on deaf ears. But Chris says, I'm also tired 156 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: of saying nothing like I usually do any advice. Well, Chris, 157 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: I'm actually going through something similar the house I'm in. 158 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 1: The the gardener, which you know has kind of been 159 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: in the family. It's one of these things where this 160 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: guy started as a gardener when he was like sixteen, 161 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: and he's been associated with the family or like thirty 162 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: five years. Like the guy has been doing it forever. 163 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: He's and he does a really good job, but when 164 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: he decides to do it, it's one of those things, 165 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: you know, it's like sometimes he won't show up, he'll 166 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: skip a week, or he won't do you know, certain 167 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: things he's supposed to do and all that, and but 168 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: we feel like we can't get rid of the guy 169 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 1: because he's been connected to the family for so long. 170 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: But you've got a different situation there, Chris, and that 171 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: that is annoying, and it's one of those things. I mean, 172 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 1: that's that's the rep you know. I know this is 173 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: not a contractor, but we've all heard the term contractor time. 174 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: And I know that because the Mallard Mansion got renovated 175 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: and so we were dealing with a lot of contractors 176 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: and sometimes they show up and sometimes they wouldn't show up. Um. 177 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: But but I would agree with you that yelling at 178 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: the guy. I mean, you should say, hey, I really 179 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: am you know, disappointed. But but now everyone's got the 180 00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: Trump excuse. I had the COVID, I got, I got 181 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: the code. You had no symptoms. Well, yeah, that's the COVID, 182 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: though I was asymptomatic, but COVID hours. Yeah, I got 183 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: the COVID the ultimate get out of jail free card. 184 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: How how do you think this guy should handle it, Danny? 185 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 1: Any advice to Chris? Kill him with kindness, But at 186 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: the same time, you gotta be firm with your stance. 187 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: I would start the email nice, and then I would 188 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: get to the point and be firm about you gotta 189 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: be professional, dude, and please follow through with our promise, 190 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: and then I would stay on top of it after that. 191 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: And yeah, sometimes you don't want to be confrontational, do 192 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: you know, Ben? In life, you gotta have your voice heard. Yeah. Well, 193 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: and as it goes back to what I have have 194 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: talked about the code of the West and the lack 195 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: of the quote. If you just follow the code of 196 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: the West, that you take pride in your work to 197 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: finish what you start, like those basic things what has 198 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: to be done, then the world would be a lot better. 199 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: I think, just simply, there's so many people that cut 200 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: corners all the time. I don't want to put the 201 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: effort in. And you know, who knows, maybe this guy 202 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: had something happening family emergency, But even then you gotta 203 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: still contact people say I wish I could make it. 204 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: I didn't make it. I apologize. I'll be here at 205 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: a different a different time. The very least. You have 206 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: to communicate well with your clients. Yeah, and you don't. 207 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: If you're an introvert like me, you don't have to 208 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: talk to him. You can send a text. There's different 209 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: ways to do it. Now you're not stuck. Next up, 210 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: you've got mail. That would be Blake, our buddy Blake 211 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: in Arkansas. This guy's got that crazy Amazon job where 212 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: he buys old Amazon well not old but Amazon returned 213 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: products and then sells them at a discount store in Arkansas. 214 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: Has done very well for himself, he says Ben. I 215 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: agree that three, maybe four college football teams have a 216 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: shot to win a national championship every year. However, Ever, 217 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: when we moved into the new four team playoff, it 218 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: is absolutely just killed the value of the bowl games. 219 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: Who will be that is a letter or a word 220 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: missing here or who it's gonna be every year October one? 221 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,199 Speaker 1: The same five or six schools. Se I guess he's 222 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,719 Speaker 1: complaining the same five or six schools all year. No 223 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: one else matters. I truly believe changing the twelve. We're 224 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: really amp up the sport like never before. You and 225 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,599 Speaker 1: I will always agree that you know, a twelve and 226 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: a liberty team will have zero shot at beating Bama. 227 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: But if those fan bases don't have any hope to 228 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: ever make it, ever, what's the point? Alright? So Blake, 229 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: my apologies, but I think there were some words or 230 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 1: some letters missing. Uh, but I think we've got to 231 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: just you support the twelve team playoff. I think I'm 232 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: okay with the twelve team playoff, but I do think 233 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: that there are only a handful of teams, as I said, 234 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: three for teams any year that can win the national 235 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: championship legitimately h the great equalizers injuries. The other thing 236 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: that this will be good, Danny, is that in college football, 237 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: this has been something that's happened last maybe ten years, 238 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: where the great star players, if they don't have a 239 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: chance at the national championship, they will rest for the 240 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: NFL draft. So that should eliminate it for at least 241 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: twelve schools where they started. Because we watch these bowl games, 242 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: not that we watched that many of them, but the 243 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: star players often don't even play anymore unless they have 244 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: a shot at the national championship. You're exactly right. We'll 245 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: get to see everybody play. You know, the top players 246 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: for sure will be involved in that. And because of 247 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: injuries also, you could, if you, if you, if this 248 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: goes long enough, eventually Alabama will lose to somebody like 249 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: Liberty and it will be the greatest upset in the 250 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: history of college football. To make movies about it and 251 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: write books about it, because Alabama will have two offensive 252 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: linement out with injury, and they won't take Liberty a 253 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: team like Liberty seriously. And next thing, you know, it's 254 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: anyone's game in the fourth quarter and the ball bounces 255 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: your way, you end up losing. The other teams were 256 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: so al right. Next up on the mail bag, any 257 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: meany mighty mo? Pick a message. Let's see here, let's 258 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: go all right, come back touch It's son call Kevin 259 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: in Kansas writes, and he says, Dear Bannon, Danny G. 260 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: You both work in the high pressure field of live 261 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: talk radio. Danny G also works in education. Mrs Mallard 262 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: works as a nine on one operator. Based on your 263 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: years of experience with those pressures, what advice do you 264 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: have to make make it through the day? Yeah, Kevin, 265 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: So I I will just follow the advice I learned 266 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: from my parents, and I really learned also from following 267 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: Lee Hamiltons around Hack Saw Hamilton's who was my mentor, 268 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: one of my mentors in radio. I was an intern 269 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: for him back many years ago in San Diego, and 270 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: Lee was always there. He was the first one in, 271 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: the last one out. He spent all day preparing for 272 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: his afternoon drive show. And it's been said by people 273 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: smarter than me that success is really of preparation. And 274 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: you know, you know success it out of a preparation 275 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: is perspiration. If you will that it's it's much better. 276 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: I've felt for me how I'm wired. I would much 277 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: rather over prepare and hope that it's all for nothing, 278 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: that I don't need it. And oftentimes it is then 279 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: trying to fly and and pretend that I I don't 280 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: have I haven't done the work. Uh, you understand what 281 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, I don't want to be the guy 282 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: that shows up and they're playing. I've worked with guys, 283 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: I've seen guys I've worked with, They've been some of 284 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: them empic stars. Uh, And I guess they just a 285 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: better at showing up and faking it. And there was 286 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: one guy that used to work at our place that 287 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 1: did no prep would show up and whatever was on 288 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: back when ESPN dot com was the big website would 289 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: just read those stories and that would be how he 290 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 1: did his his show. And um, eventually it caught up 291 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 1: with him and he lost He lost his gig, but 292 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: he was able to pull it off for a while. 293 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: He made a lot of money, made more money than me. 294 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: But I think preparation is the key. Because Dan, I 295 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: don't know if you feel the same way, but for me, 296 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: to me, the easiest part of my day is actually 297 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 1: doing the show because I know I'm fully prepared. Now, 298 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 1: sometimes ship hits the fan and I'll be fully prepared, 299 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: and then ten minutes before the show, some trade will happen, 300 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: or you know, unfortunately doing the overnight show, somebody will 301 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: have an accident and then everything gets out the window 302 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 1: and you've got to do improv. And that's fine because 303 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: the moment calls for that. But what do you have 304 00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: a piece of advice here for Kevin in Kansas. Well, 305 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: you mentioned it just a few minutes ago on the 306 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: podcast to have pride in your work. So no matter 307 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: what industry, you're in. Man, what a great trait that 308 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: is to go above and beyond to make sure whatever 309 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:19,919 Speaker 1: you're responsible for is not only completed, but completed to 310 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: where your bosses would be proud. Some of that's lost 311 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: in the past few years in several industries, but in radio, 312 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,360 Speaker 1: Ben you're completely right. Set Up is key because when 313 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: I have the next segment prepared and in front of 314 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: me and ready to go, we don't know what's gonna 315 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: happen once we turn those bikes on and we're live 316 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: in the middle of it, but at least we have 317 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: our notes in front of us and we know where 318 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: we're headed and where we're going. And when you don't 319 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,239 Speaker 1: have that outline and you're not prepared, then you have 320 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 1: no direction. So whatever industry you're in, preparations set up 321 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: is key, and then you get confidence based on the 322 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: fact you are ready for no matter what curveball comes 323 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,959 Speaker 1: your way. Yeah. And it's one of those things too 324 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 1: where He's like, there's people that come up to me 325 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: in an appearance or something. They'll be like, well, I 326 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: know more sports, not about that. I'll say, you know 327 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: what you probably do. You know, I probably wouldn't beat you, 328 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 1: you know, head to head trivia contest. But the art 329 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: radio can and the other thing we've seen it, Danny, 330 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: when you bring people in who aren't trained in broadcasting 331 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 1: and they could do two or three minutes, but can 332 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: you do four hours? And can you do four hours 333 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: where somebody actually wants to listen for more than a minute. 334 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: That's the hard part. Like it's harder to people to listen, 335 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: But once you get people that actually like the crap 336 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: that you do to get them to listen even longer, 337 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: that's the hard part. That's like the really hard people engaged. 338 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: There was a study, the results were just released. The 339 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: average American pays attention for twenty eight seconds. So whatever 340 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 1: they're listening, who are watching you have their attention span 341 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: for twenty eight seconds. Just think about that. Yeah, No, 342 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: it's it's like you can keep a goldfish and gay 343 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 1: engaged longer people and uh, but it does just whenever 344 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: you happen, we're all helping each other, right, the communal 345 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: way of life, whether you work in radio or not. 346 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: I mean, my wife has a much more stressful job, 347 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: but then you know, some times nothing happens and you know, 348 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: the phones don't ring, and she's able to just to 349 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 1: you know, sit around and wait for the phone to ring. 350 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: She's prepared though. She knows what to do if somebody 351 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: calls up having a heart attack, or someone's calling up 352 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: and they've been shot, or the neighbor has been shot. 353 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: She knows how to handle those. But she never knows 354 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: who's gonna call, like, has no idea until she gets 355 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: there and the people actually call in. So thank you 356 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: for that. Good question by Kevin Always good.

The only way 368 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 1: I would is if I lost a bed or something 369 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: like that. I eat things I like, I don't even 370 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 1: need a lot anymore, as you know, Mike and your 371 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: friend fer Dog, because I you know, I'm on this 372 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: in a minute, fasting nonsense, that's my michigass, and so 373 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: that's that's what I do. Danny, have you eaten any 374 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: disgusting foods? Which is usually just the texture of the food, right, 375 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:01,439 Speaker 1: which is texture? And if there's I balls? Uh, what 376 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: comes to mind? A friend of mine when I lived 377 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: up in Pismo Beach and was doing radio up on 378 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: the coast Filipino family, I go. It was a lot 379 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,919 Speaker 1: of fun. We're drinking a little bit at the get together, 380 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: and they had this layout the spread of food, which 381 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: smelled amazing. So I make this big plate. I don't 382 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: know what most of the dishes are, so I put 383 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: a little bit of each dish on my plate and 384 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 1: I'm eating away. Some of the textures were interesting. And 385 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: after I got done sampling this plate, my buddy told 386 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: me what the dishes were made out of. Yeah, and 387 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:42,719 Speaker 1: let's just say reveal answers, revealing. I shouldn't have asked. 388 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: I should have just tasted. Oh yeah, Well, well when 389 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 1: I'll tell you one that I ate one bite of 390 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: when I was a kid, Uh, and it's a it's 391 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: a customary Jewish food. Give filter fish disgusting. I hate 392 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: fish anyway, fermented fish, I say, I definitely do not 393 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 1: need to eat it was it was horrible for dog. 394 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,959 Speaker 1: So uh that that's on the list. All right, we'll 395 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 1: keep it going on the mail bag. Here, let's pick 396 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: up the pace. We're running short on time, Pierre writes 397 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: in not writing from the base of Muffett McGraw's plaque 398 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: at the Basketball Hall of Fame. He says, hey, Ben 399 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: and Danny Gee, have you ever played fantasy sports with friends, 400 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: co workers or listeners? And be Ben, you consider yourself 401 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:35,439 Speaker 1: a man of the people and have just doc you 402 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: signed your multi year extension. So why do you refuse 403 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: to join Coope, Roberto and the rest of the mouth 404 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: of Militia and the DraftKings contest. It must be the 405 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: five dollar entry fee that's holding you back, unless it isn't, alright, 406 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 1: So Pierre, come then, alright, cool your nuts. Alright, So listen, 407 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: I've played fantasy sports before. I'm so good at it. 408 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: I don't want to take all my listeners money. That 409 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 1: would be rude and uh and and that would be wrong, wrong, 410 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: and all that exactly. Uh, And it is not the 411 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: five dollar entry fee that is holding me back at all, 412 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: but it's it's more of a time thing. It's more 413 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: of a time thing, and my focus is not on 414 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: fantasy right now. My focus is on benny versus the penny, 415 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: and so any football handy, any time I have is 416 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: dedicated to haw I can become a better football prognosticator, 417 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: which is not playing fantasy sports. It is playing gambling. 418 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: So that's where my focus is. Listen, I'm glad Coop's 419 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 1: doing it, and the fans, the super fans, seem to 420 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: have a great idea, a great appreciation for They love 421 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 1: it so good. So that's it, right, Danny. You play 422 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: fantasy sports at all, Danny, or any of that. I have, 423 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: And the last couple of seasons I haven't, and I've 424 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 1: liked the season better, to be honest, because I all 425 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: ready have enough stress involved rooting on my favorite football team. 426 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,679 Speaker 1: I don't also need to be stressed out about the 427 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: performances of other random players on other teams. That's just 428 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: too much stress. And I don't want any money attached 429 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 1: to the outcomes. So I don't gamble on NFL and 430 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: I don't want to play fantasy right now because I 431 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 1: just want to enjoy it. As if I was a 432 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: seven year old kid, what about a nine year old girl? 433 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: There would be conflicting interest as a gambler. If you 434 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 1: bet on let's say, for example, this weekend, if I 435 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 1: bet on the Minnesota Vikings, but I had Aaron Rodgers 436 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: in my fantasy team, Uh, it's like you need Rogers 437 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: to play well, but you need the Vike used to 438 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: win the game, and so he's like threading a needle. 439 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: It's interesting being at a sports bar during the NFL 440 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 1: season because you'll hear people randomly chairing for other things 441 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: on other greens, and it's all because of their fantasy team. Yeah, 442 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: and it's really odd when they're wearing another jersey and 443 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: they do it and you're like, wait a minute, that's 444 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: what's wrong with this. Come on now, I got mail, yea, 445 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: I got mail. Ya got I gotta meet this guy 446 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 1: Adrians in the Mile High City. I'm gonna do that. 447 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: I gotta get to Denver at some point. Here have 448 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: the Ben Mallard chicken sandwich in Denver at the sports 449 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: book bar and grill. And he says, Big Ben, I 450 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: was flipping back and forth between Florida State l s 451 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: U and Sunday Night Baseball, the Dodgers and the Potterers. 452 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: I saw a familiar face sitting down low with the 453 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: one percentage. How was the game? He says, I doubled 454 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: down on my wager I told you about earlier. What 455 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 1: do you and Danny g think of the Dodgers World 456 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 1: Series champions Now? It still bothers me that I liked 457 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: him in that spot put a guarantee on it, But 458 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. When will you be in the 459 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: Denver area for a meet? And Greedy says, I think 460 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: I remember you saying you have a family here in Colorado. 461 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: I do. I have a cousin that lives I believe 462 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 1: over in Boulder, So not not that far away from 463 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: from Denver. Uh So, he says, he's Benny versus the 464 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: Penny coming. Oh yeah, yeah, Adrians, you said this before 465 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: we made the announcement, But Benny versus the Penny on 466 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: the podcast on Friday, and you can hear all the picks, 467 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: including my pick on the Denver Seattle game, which you're 468 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 1: probably not gonna like, but but absolutely and so as 469 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: far as the Dodgers I'm I'm still pretty confident it's there. 470 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 1: They're in the wrong league. The better teams this year 471 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: are in the National League, with the Dodgers, the Mets, 472 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: who've had a bad stretch in the Atlanta Braves that 473 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: those teams are clearly better than everyone else. I don't 474 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 1: think the Cardinals are gonna do much, even though they've 475 00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 1: had a good run here lately. Uh, But I trust 476 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: the Dodger. I don't trust kimberl even though he's pitched 477 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: better lately. But yeah, I would still. I'd still like 478 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 1: the Dodgers chances to get the World Series, and I 479 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: hope they played the Astros in the World Series. But 480 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: I take the Yankees. What about you, Danny. This team, 481 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 1: as you know, been one of the best Dodger win 482 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 1: percentages in the history of the franchise, still on pace 483 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: to win a hundred and thirteen games. Bullpen has been 484 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 1: way better. Are hitting when it's clicking. Is the best 485 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 1: lineup in all of baseball. I am never gonna bet 486 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: against that. But a couple more quick ones. Leo rights 487 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 1: and he says, is Marlon Marlin man a Marlin fan 488 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: or a Dodger fan? He spends more time at Dodgers Stadium. 489 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: He has spent a lot of time at Dodgers Stadium, 490 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: although he told me he's not coming back until the NLCS. 491 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: He said, he said, he does not he's not playing. 492 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: He thinks the Dodgers will be in the NLCS. He's 493 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: gonna go see some other teams. He thinks that likely 494 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: he will not advance in the playoffs, so he can 495 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: go see some other cities. But he's gonna be in 496 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: New York. I think he was in New York this weekend. 497 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: He gave me his whole itinerary. So he's a fan 498 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: of baseball, and he doesn't actually go to very many 499 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: Marlin's games, even though he's called Marlins Man. Uh. And 500 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 1: he has he spent a lot of time at Dodger 501 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: Stadium because I've gotten phone calls several times this summer. 502 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: And he's gone a bunch of games without me. He 503 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: went to the All Star Games, some other games. He 504 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: knows I can't go really during during the week. Uh. 505 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: Last one Fred from Spring Texas Rights and he says, Hi, there. 506 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: You mentioned in last week show that the transmitters for 507 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: the San Diego radio stations were pointed towards the Pacific Ocean. 508 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: Do you know what the reasoning was for that decision? 509 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: Keep up the good work. Well you have Fred. The 510 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: Federal Communications Commission. It's a government agency that decides who 511 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 1: who can put their transmitter where. And it's all a 512 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: scientific project because there are there are radio stations that 513 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: share the same frequency in many many cities, and there's 514 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: only a few stations that are called clear channel stations 515 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: that have the right to broadcast at full power, like 516 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: all over the country. There's KFI in Los Angeles is 517 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: one of those. They're all AM stations, kf I, Koa 518 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: and Denver. Very few FM stations. One oh three point 519 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,239 Speaker 1: three FM along the California coast is one of the 520 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: only FM stations that blasts through like five different counties. Yeah, 521 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: and I learned this in radio school, although I've forgotten it, 522 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: but the the you know, the as I remember it, 523 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: it's the AM radio band, which is really going away 524 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: in many places, but the A M band will bounce 525 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: so it can go further where the FM band doesn't count. 526 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 1: And so that's that's part of the Yeah, the skips 527 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: off the earth exactly. So and uh and Fred, so yeah, 528 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 1: so it's pretty much to protect the station in Arizona 529 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: Phoenix that has the same frequency, and so it ends 530 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 1: up where if you're in San Diego, the signals facing 531 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 1: the Pacific Ocean, So if you're on a boat out 532 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: of Pacific, you can hear the San Diego stations of 533 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: the l A stations. But and even in l A, right, 534 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: we have the problem with the mountains where a lot 535 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 1: of times certain signals do not make it past the 536 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: mountain range around l A. All right, we gotta get 537 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: out of here, Danny. What do you have coming up 538 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: for you in the Fox box that rocks this afternoon 539 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: slash evening. I'm gonna be in the studios having fun 540 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: with the Covino and Rich Show, and then after that 541 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 1: the Ben Mallard pre show, the tailgate party, Chris Plank 542 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: and Arnie Spaniard leading into your first show of the week, 543 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: and not just our first show, our first show after 544 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: an NFL Sunday. Yeah, I hope. I'm celebrating a Raiders 545 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: w as the Covino and Rich Show is starting. I 546 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: the RAM game was on Thursday, So I will just 547 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: be worried about my picks all day, is what I 548 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: will be worried about. How do you think you're gonna 549 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: do really quick? Yeah, I think I'll be over five. 550 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: But the first week and the last week of the 551 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: season are very difficult. So I think i'll be over 552 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: five hundred. But I'm not gonna go I'm not gonna 553 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: say I'm gonna be way over five hundred. I think 554 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 1: you'll be a couple of games over five hundreds. A 555 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: winning week to start is what I am anticipating, but 556 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: not in like one of the great weeks of all time. 557 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: I like the card this week, I didn't love the car. 558 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: I liked it, I didn't love it. Week two is 559 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,959 Speaker 1: a little bit better. So we'll see what happens next Friday. 560 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: Have a great day and we will talk to you 561 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 1: next time.
