You never 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:00.520 know what you're gonna get in the mail bag on 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:05.360 the Fifth Hour. And this week somewhat interesting because I 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:09.080 was a little disheveled from my trip from Minnesota. I 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.360 forgot to post a message on social media until late 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:16.280 in the week, So these are last minute emails that 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:17.959 were sending. Now, there were a few people that did 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:22.560 send emails in earlier, but usually I have to send 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:24.480 out a reminder, so I'm excited to get in the 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:24.840 mail bag. 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:26.000 Are you ready, Danny? 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:30.560 Yes, these questions are closer to us right now than 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:31.639 they were last week. 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:35.040 Yes, that is sure. Whatever you said, I'll have some 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:35.920 of that. Why not? 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:36.840 Absolutely? 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:40.960 Yes, I craik up the band in our buddy, Ohio. 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:58.560 It's okay. Thank you for that, Ohio. Al good as always. 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:03.680 And the first messa comes from Alf the Alien opiner says, Ben, 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:08.840 have you considered reacquiring the URL for benmallard dot com 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.079 to promote your brand? I remember the good old days 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:16.200 of dialing up America online and reading the latest rumors 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:17.000 on your website. 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:18.640 Nowadays you'd be able. 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.360 To promote your Fox Sports radio show the podcast, not 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.880 to mention that you'd probably be able to get some sponsors. 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:28.840 I'm sure your social media team is doing a cost 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:35.560 benefit analysis as you read this, So Danny, can you 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:37.919 check in with the social media team to see how 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:42.000 that's looking that cost benefit analysis the spreadsheet on the 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.480 benmallard dot com url. 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:46.480 That'll be an easy check in. 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:50.920 Yeah. So to answer the question, Alf, yes, there was 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:55.400 a clerical error that was made and I did lose 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.359 Benmallard dot com. I had owned it for several years 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:03.000 after I stopped using it daily because of the radio commitments. 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:06.079 And what had happened. First of all, is it was 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.960 a clerical error, so we lost it. Then we tried 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:12.119 to get it back. But what happens is there were 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:16.800 some people that were opportunistic and they they purchased it. 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.240 There was a company out of Asia that originally purchased 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:24.320 the URL. Now why someone in Japan or China would 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:28.440 want benmallard dot com is beyond me, but I think 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:30.920 the reason they were squatting and they wanted some money, 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:34.440 and so the problem. Secondly is I have tried to 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:39.240 get the website back, but it is a ridiculous amount 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:43.800 of money for that URL, which no one is going 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.840 to right now. They want the buy it now price 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:51.600 for benmallard dot com is sixty five hundred dollars. 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:53.040 Gotta be kidding me. 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:57.440 I Am not spending six grand to get a website 0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:01.200 that I built and eventually destroyed, by the way, but 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.120 I'm not paying six grand for that. 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.080 You gotta be joking. Yeah, If you go. 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:08.560 To benmallard dot com right now, it says the domain 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.480 name benmallar dot com is for sale and it's six 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:13.160 four hundred and ninety dollars. 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:14.160 Now, why is it that much? 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.440 A They seem to think I'm more famous than I 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:19.840 am because they probably see the name and they think 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.000 the radio show, so they think I'm more famous. B. 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:27.520 The website did get really great traffic for a number 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:29.800 of years when I was putting the rumor page together. 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:32.520 But no, I'm not interested in spending that kind of money. Now. 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.880 If somebody wants to buy that for me, that would 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.520 be a waste of your money. I wouldn't tell you 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.479 to do that, but I would accept it if you 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:40.359 give it back to me. 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:44.200 But I'm not spending six grand. Not happening. I don't care. 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.440 If it's a hassle free payment, I don't care. If 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:50.800 there's a buyer protection program, doesn't matter to me. I'm 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:54.120 not interested. Sorry, not sorry. 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:56.840 So what if I buy it and then sell it 0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:00.360 to back to you for seven thousand dollars. 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.599 Well, you could try that. You could try that. You 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:04.760 might want to toss that into Lake Superior with the 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:08.160 brown water, Danny, that's going to be the quality of 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:12.120 the brown water. Next up on the mailbag, Fred in Spring, Texas, Right, 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:15.120 since says, hey, guys, great show as usual, Ben and 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:18.960 Danny g He says, Hey, Ben, do you miss the 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.000 days when you travel with a ball club and mingled 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:26.039 with the players, etc. Yes, of course I do. Fred 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:27.880 who would not want to do that? It was a 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:29.400 lot of fun. I didn't get to do it for 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:31.599 very long, but I had a great time when I 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:35.120 did it. And the thing that bothers me about that 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:38.080 chapter in my life is I got this great gig 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.600 and I felt like I wasn't completely prepared for it. 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.440 I just kind of got tossed into it. And it's fine. 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:46.440 I did as good a job as I could possibly do. 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.039 But if I had a job like that now, I 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:50.880 feel like I would be so much better at it. 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.440 But I didn't really appreciate it as much as I 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:57.520 should have at the time. But I have great memories, 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.480 amazing memories of that time. In fact, I see some 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.440 of those guys on the Dodgers that were around when 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:05.680 I was there, and you know, there's there's a there's 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:09.000 a bond, there's a kinship there from them that era. 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:12.240 I ran into Eric Harras, who does games at Fox, 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.640 and he was the first basement for the Dodgers. When 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.520 I was doing that stuff, and I had seen I 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:22.080 hadn't seen e K in probably a decade, and you know, 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:24.960 we caught up. We were telling old stories and Eric 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.400 carras an old sports radio guy, used to listen to 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.520 the Jim Rome Show back in the nineties and and 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:32.800 all that, so we bonded over sports radio. 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:36.000 And yeah, so I do I do miss that. 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:37.840 Although I'm at a different place in my life now, 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:39.920 I don't know that I would want to travel that much. 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.000 I think I'm I'm kind of cool with my rare 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.960 and appropriate vacation. You know what I mean, Danny Wright, 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:47.520 You're like, rare and appropriate. You don't want to go 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:48.760 out traveling all the time. 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:52.120 Yeah. And also something else you brought up. It's funny 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:55.520 how when you're a beginning broadcaster, because I do the 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.000 same thing. I look back at some of the big 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.599 radio stations I was on and I really didn't understand 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.520 what I was doing yet. And now when I think 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:07.919 about it, I'm like, man, what an opportunity. Not that 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.080 I did bad and not that you did bad, but 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:13.720 we just didn't know how to harness the broadcasting power 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:18.400 yet bang bang, And so you're making all these different 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.760 little mistakes and then that stuff weighs on you and 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:25.760 you're not you don't have your personality yet, I guess, 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.280 is what I'm saying. And so we look back at 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:29.800 that and it's like, damn it, man, if I could 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.320 go back and do that again, because it's kind of 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:35.080 like when you think about going back to high school 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:38.480 and you know, banging the chicks that you missed out on. 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.280 Which is all of them, which is one hundred percent 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:42.600 of them. 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:44.880 Yeah, so yet. 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:51.520 Totally right there, Danny, you think about, boy, if I 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:54.239 could go back with what I know now, the skill 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:58.680 set I have now, man, we would dominate. We'd have 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:02.120 the top ratings everyone we love in the shows that 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:06.000 we do, and it'd be just some great and you're like, 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:08.840 you can't go back, you can only go forward. But 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.080 it was it was a fun time in my life 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.560 and I have great memories and I can I can say, 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:16.280 you know, whatever happens the rest of the way, that 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:17.360 I got to accomplish that. 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:18.200 So that was kind of cool. 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.360 Mike in Fullerton writes, and he says, oh, Ben and 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:25.840 Danny g last Friday's podcast about Hiccups with the Lady 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.560 Doctor was very interesting. Yes, that's her name. I don't 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:30.240 even know that she's a doctor. By the way, she's 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:33.120 a scientist. I don't know that she's a doctor anyway, 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.760 And Mike says, do you believe bo Jackson has chronic 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:54.240 hiccups because he's part frog or something like she said. 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:52.120 Have athletic agility that would make you think, you know, he. 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:57.160 Was superhuman frogman bo Jackson frogman. Yeah, that line she 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.160 had that they think experts that we burn. 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.360 Because we go back to when we were in the ocean. 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.680 That was the most fascinating part of that whole podcast. 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:07.880 I was like, what do you think you think I'm 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:11.160 burping because I used to be My relatives were swimming 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:14.480 in the oceans. Come on, but hey, whatever gets you 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:15.440 through the day, why not? 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:20.160 And makes sense with that tad pole tongue, dare you? 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:23.760 Mike says, I appreciate you ending Ben ending it with 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:29.200 Danny G's famous later alligator outro. Yes, that was original, Danny. 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:30.800 I did not steal that from you, Danny. 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:34.320 That was an original's But it's a later skater, not 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:35.559 later alligator. 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:37.200 I got close, I got close. 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:39.600 Rhyme, you rhymed at least. 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:43.400 Mike says, here's a question just for Danny G. He says, 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:47.160 have you come up with a name for baby G yet? 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:51.360 If not, I would like to nominate Michael. Mike from 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.360 Fullerton says he would like to nominate Michael as the name. 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:56.800 I think it's a great name, he says, But if 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.480 you don't like it, just promise me you aren't going 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:01.520 to name your child Alf. 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:04.800 So that's from Mike. 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.280 Have you picked the name yet, Danny, do you have any. 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.520 We have picked the first name, but not the middle 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:10.200 name yet. 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:12.880 Did you pick the first name or did your wife 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:13.800 pick the first name? 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.959 Uh? My wife and her kids picked the first name. 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:21.640 I got to sit on the sideline and agree or disagree. 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.840 That was my job, and then I get the privilege 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:26.520 of giving the child the middle name. 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:32.240 So question, will you hijack the name game? Even though 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:34.200 you will be only giving the middle name and many 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:36.680 people think that is inferior to the first name. But 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:40.160 if you call the kid by the middle name, they 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:43.960 will then embrace the middle name and your spawn will 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:48.199 then consider that their primary name. Therefore, you will circumvent 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:51.839 your wife and the other kids, and you will have 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:56.720 complete ownership of the naming process in a backhanded, devious way. 0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:58.440 I like the way you're thinking. 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:02.520 Okay, all right, and will the child be named podcast 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.199 or radio which will. 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.720 Be the middle of well, radio is his last name, 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:08.959 so yeah, radio radio would be weird. 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:15.480 That would be odd that they in movie radio, which interesting, Yes, exactly. 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:19.120 So you know, I guess as we get closer now 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:23.840 seven weeks away from birth daddy, which is really scary 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:24.800 when you think about it. 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:26.760 Now, have you taken bets Danny on? 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:30.319 We should do some kind of betting here will the 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.720 child be born on time early or late? 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:33.960 On time? 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:34.800 Earlier late? 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:38.640 And you should put you know how the Super Bowl? 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:39.640 You have the squares? 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:40.920 Yeah? 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.760 Do you should do squares at work with Cavino and 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.520 Rich and the guys. I'll get in on it, and 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.000 whoever gets the right date gets the money, and then 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:52.080 then you'll just do it that way. Yeah. 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:57.240 Also, I'm wondering what time of the day or night? 0:11:58.120 --> 0:11:59.440 Do you know what time you were born? 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.920 I believe I was born at night, and I hope 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.320 your kids born at night, because your child will then 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.880 be able to use the Andy Furman line, I was 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:08.800 born at night, but. 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.240 Not last night. Slap me around a little bit. 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:13.960 If you say you were born during the day. I 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:15.360 guess you could say I was born during the day, 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.559 but not yesterday, so it would work. But it sounds 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:18.199 better at night. 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.360 Yeah, I mean like you, I was born to do 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:25.560 radio early or late because I was born exactly one 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:26.760 minute after midnight. 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:29.800 And what your birthday is? 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.120 When is your Birthda's in the what part of the 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:33.120 year is it the end of the year? 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:34.959 December twenty seventh. 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:35.719 That would be the end of the year. 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:39.560 That would be if you only waited a couple more days, Danny, 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:40.760 you would have been right there. You could have been 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:42.360 the first baby born in a new year. 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.880 Lost out on that. And they were still wrapping kids 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:50.480 in Christmas blankets and my Mom's like, it's not Christmas anymore, 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:53.359 and they're like, yeah, but it's still a Christmas baby. 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:55.400 Otherwise known as we still have these blankets and we 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.200 have to get rid of them. So you're getting a 0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:59.920 blanket that has a clause on it or a Christmas 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.319 next up on the mailbag. Kevin in Kansas, right, so, 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.840 and he says, dear Ben and Danny, g do you 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:09.520 guys remember riding bikes as kids? Did you do anything 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:14.120 special to them? Like baseball cards and the spokes reminiscing 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:17.320 would like to know. 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:18.960 So I never did the. 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:23.000 Baseball cards of the Spokes, but I loved riding the bicycle. 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:27.680 I grew up in Orange Groves and the freedom I 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.920 loved there was a couple of hills, going to the 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.200 top of the hill and going down, and you felt 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:37.920 like you were going as fast as you could possibly 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:43.720 humanly go. You were breaking the time space continuum. So 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.920 many fond memories that the freedom that that was could 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.120 go anywhere, could go to the grocery store, go to 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:53.520 the liquor store, pizza shop, any of those places was awesome. 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:57.440 And it blows me away, Nanny that the kids today, 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.040 I don't get the same sense the kids today. And 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.600 maybe I'm just being the old guy. I don't think 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:06.320 they a care that much about having access to a 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:12.400 bike and b I just I don't think they appreciate it. 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:14.520 I don't know if I'm repeated with as, there's just 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:16.560 something missing from that, like they don't need it. They've 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:17.880 got everything they need in their house. 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:20.320 They don't. Well, in our day, we needed to go 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:21.600 out to experience life. 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:26.120 Yeah, and you know, we have the bike culture in 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:29.760 common as kids. I also was in southern California, a 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:33.200 different town I think, more run down than yours because 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:36.800 our friends on their bikes they also had spray paint 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:39.800 cans and their long socks if they were going to 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:44.440 go tag up rialto California. But we would go to 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:48.240 where these kids used a water and shovels and they 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:53.200 did the hard dirt ramps and jumps, and it was 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:56.160 amazing to be able to ride with your friends over 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:59.040 to where the bike jumps were. And of course we 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:02.040 were all too scared to go on the best and 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.720 biggest jumps. We would to watch other kids do it 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:07.760 and then eat shit, and that made you want to 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:09.120 stay away from it even more. 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:13.000 Yeah, there was nothing cooler when I was a kid 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:16.040 than the guys that were the BMX guys that would 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:19.720 do the jumps and the motorcross stuff. They were like 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.400 rock stars. They were the heroes for those of us 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:25.320 that rode our bikes. And I grew up in an 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.320 area where there we didn't tag everything. We just had. 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:32.680 It was a planned community and they had orange groves everywhere, 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:36.080 and there were military bases kind of in the area 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:39.280 where I grew up, and so we would get chased sometimes. 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:41.720 I've told the story before we get chased by some 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:44.000 of the soldiers when they were off duty. They would 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.840 just get completely shit faced and go out in the 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:49.760 orange groves and God only knows what kind of debauchery 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.440 they were getting into in the orange groves, but to 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:56.680 entertain themselves the kids, the soldiers would chase us kids around. 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.840 So we'd be on our bikes trying to desperately get away. 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:04.400 Things were about to be hatcheted and mured by some marine. 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:08.000 And so those are some of my other crazy memories. 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:10.360 I was chasing my brother around, my older brother. I 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:13.040 would always follow him around, trying to be part of 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:14.320 the cool kids who are older. 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:16.040 So I have great memories Kevin. 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:18.920 And really quick Ben for Kevin. On the accessories on 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.800 the bike, do you remember the grips like we would 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:24.400 change the handle grips a lot. That was a thing, 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.920 you know, the color and the style of the grips. 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.080 The grips was big. My thing was I got a bell. 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:32.360 That was a big thing. 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:34.160 Yeah. 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.720 My mom got me a little bell. That was a 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:38.280 big deal. So I was like pee wee Herman. 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:39.240 I had a little bell. 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.880 Because that's a safety feature. My mom thought I could 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:45.400 alert the other people that I. 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:47.480 Was, Oh, I thought you were going to say you 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:50.480 had some sweet pegs. Thinking about a bell. 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:53.040 I had a cheesy bell, But to me, that was 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:55.440 like the coolest bell. That was like my horn. You know. 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:56.960 I felt like I was in the car and I 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:57.960 didn't have I didn't. 0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:59.360 Have a horn, but I had the bell, and I 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:02.640 could ring the bell and then I'd be I'd be 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:03.080 set up. 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.040 So that was my big thing. 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.080 I did not My mom did not think it was 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:09.520 necessary for me to go crazy with the different colored 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:12.679 handles and things like that, so that was not really 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:18.400 my gem. Next up, Pete, the machinist from Albany, Oregon, 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:21.240 right says, says Ben and Danny ge what is your 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:25.280 earliest memory of a sports moment that you'll remember forever? 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:29.240 Mine was the forty nine Ers wild Card game versus 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:34.120 the Packers in ninety eight where too caught the catch two. 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:37.240 I was eight years old, he says. I can remember 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.720 who I was with and where I was when that happened. 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:41.560 Says Pete. The machine is. 0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:47.000 There the beaver believer, as in Oregon State beaver believer, 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:50.080 and he does, say Pete, he sees me with a 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:52.360 Oregon State hat every once in a while, he says, 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:56.080 throw that into the rotation. Often more often, that was 0:17:56.080 --> 0:18:00.520 a gift from Robbie, the Falcon fan, who hooked me 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:02.359 up with that Oregon State Beaver hat, and it is 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:04.639 one of my cooler hats. I do like that logo, 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:06.600 and I do have a lot of hats. 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:09.919 I have to work that. In so earliest. 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:14.480 Sports memory, there's a few vague ones I remember. I 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.360 remember how excited I was to watch the Chicago Bears 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:21.679 with Refrigerator Perry against the New England Patriots because he 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:24.560 was getting all this attention on the local news. My 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:26.040 mom would like, you got to come watch the news. 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:28.199 They're doing a feature on the fat guy from the Bears, 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:31.840 and so William Perry the refrigerator. That was a big deal, 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:33.600 even though I wasn't a Bears fan, but I was 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:36.800 a Refrigerator Perry fan growing up right around that time. 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:40.440 Because I remember the Royals and the Cardinals in the 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:45.600 eighty five World Series. I remember that very vividly, the 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:49.879 great comeback by the Royals and the report that Joaquin 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:54.080 Andrew Harror had destroyed at toilet in the Cardinal locker room. 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:57.280 I remember that as a child, and then I remember 0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:00.400 I was a kid. I was playing youth basketball, going 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:05.080 to a Laker game. We got to play after the game. 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:07.600 They were playing the Golden State Warriors. George Carl was 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:10.359 like a young coach for the Warriors, and I remember 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:16.080 walking down and seeing Kareem Abdul Jabbar make a skyhook 0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:19.560 and it looked like he was like the size of 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:22.440 a giraffe. It was insane how tall a his arm 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:24.520 would reach. I thought he was hitting the top of 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:25.080 the forum. 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:26.040 It was. 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:28.960 It was crazy. What about you, Dan, any sporting. 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:30.840 Memories when you were a young a young pup that 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:32.760 you remember and you will remember the rest of your 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:34.760 life unless you get some kind of disease. 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:38.280 Oh for sure. The very first time I got to 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:40.879 go to Dodger Stadium, my grandmother took me and my 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:44.720 older brother. She had her son umbrella and a transistor 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:48.600 radio because she was in love with Vin Scully, two 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:51.040 guys that she said she would make out with ben 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:53.120 Vin Scully and Bob Barker. 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:56.800 Well, I think I have a chance with Bob Barker. 0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:58.439 I don't know that Vin was into any of that 0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:01.120 kind of hanky panky, but bo, I think Bob did 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:04.560 make out with a few people back in the Who 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:06.680 are the Dodgers playing? Who are they playing? The first 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:07.240 game you went to? 0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:11.000 Oh it was too little at the time. You remember, 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:13.560 this is when Fernando Mania was going on. 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:14.720
