18
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 3: is Valentine Day today. Woo hoo hoo.

19
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: Wow.

20
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,559
Speaker 3: Yes, I did have a fun fact though about Valentine's Day.

21
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 3: As today's fourteenth day of February Valentine's Day, twenty twenty five.

22
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 3: And if you do not like Valentine's Day, you can

23
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 3: kind of thank the Catholic Church. But it actually is

24
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 3: more complicated than that. I did a little legwork on this.

25
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 3: So the origins, if you go way back to the

26
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 3: point of conception to what is now Valentine's Day, you

27
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 3: go back to people that studied it, say it's the

28
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 3: feast of the patron saints named Valentine by the Catholic Church.

29
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 3: This was in fourty four hundred, four ninety six a D.

30
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: Rather four ninety six a D was the year, and

31
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 3: so it started with that. But keep in mind it

32
00:01:54,080 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 3: did not become associated with love and romance until the

33
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 3: fourteen hundreds, So it went like almost one thousand years

34
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 3: without romance being part of it. And then messages or

35
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 3: Valentines as they were called, began to appear, handwritten letters, poems,

36
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 3: all that stuff, and that became more popular. But in

37
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 3: the mid eighteen hundreds, so now we started in four

38
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: ninety six.

39
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: AD all the way.

40
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 3: In the eighteen hundreds Valentines cards began to commercially be produced,

41
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 3: and that's when big business was like, wait a minute,

42
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 3: we can make a couple of bucks. You know, I

43
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 3: will sell these people these cards, and they got to

44
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 3: get a new one every year, and we can make

45
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 3: some money. And so they started commercially producing gifts that

46
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 3: are still to this day, all these years later, associated

47
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 3: with Valentine's Day. Candy flowers, red roses that symbolize the love.

48
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: And the beauty and all that stuff. And so there

49
00:02:59,760 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: you go.

50
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 3: It started four ninety six and really took off in

51
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 3: the fourteen hundreds and then the eighteen hundreds it became commercialized.

52
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 3: And now here we are. The monster is upon us

53
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 3: here in twenty twenty five.

54
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: So there you go.

55
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 3: Now it is not the only holiday. Oh it's kind

56
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 3: of tough to compete with Valentine's Day, right, and it's like,

57
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 3: what else.

58
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: Are you gonna do? It's like, that's the whole day.

59
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: It's big business.

60
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 3: You go to the stores, they get all the balloons

61
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 3: out and the flowers and all that stuff. But it

62
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 3: is also among other holidays today International Winter.

00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 3: What because I can't think of a better thing to

65
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 3: do on a cold winter's day than to bike to work.

66
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 3: Just wonderful. It is Library Lover's Day today. And I

67
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 3: did see a story this week. I don't think I

68
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 3: mentioned it on the Overnight Show that the Hall of

69
00:03:54,240 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 3: Fame in Cooperstown, New York is looking for someone anyone

70
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 3: to run the old library there at the Hall of Fame.

71
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 3: And it's sounds like, well, that'd be a good job,

72
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 3: right though, working at the Baseball Hall of Fame.

73
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: How cool is that?

74
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 3: The National Baseball Hall of Fame, Cooperstown, New York. So

75
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 3: they're looking for a librarian. You have to have a

76
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 3: master's in library science, which is like, okay, you know

77
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 3: how much the job pays.

78
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: Somebody sent this to me. I did not come up

79
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: with this, but the.

80
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 3: According to the website, it's posted on this job app

83
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 3: a master's, which I don't think is cheap. And I

84
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 3: don't have a master's, but I don't think it's cheap anyway,

85

Speaker 3: get to the point, please, So they're looking for someone

86
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 3: who has this masters to preserve history, honor excellence, and

Speaker 1: You know what you're doing.

91
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,600

93

Speaker 3: and you'll get some perks like food discounts. You'll also

94
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 3: make more money. My god, I know it's supposedly cheap.

95
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 3: I've never been to Cooperstown. It's a charming little village

96
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 3: Cooperstown there. They say it's an American treasure and wonderful

97
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 3: snowmobile trails, biking.

98
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: There's a lake right there. All of that.

99
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 3: I actually know several people that have worked in Cooperstown,

100
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 3: New York over the years, people that have run the

101
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 3: Baseball Hall of Fame at different points, so I know

102
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 3: a little bit about it. But they didn't go there

103
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 3: to make thirty five forty five thousand.

104
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:01,680

Speaker 1: It is the flagship.

136
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 3: It is produced out of NBC Sports Boston and the

137
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 3: team that works on the show is out of NBC

138
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 3: Sports Boston. It is very important that people watch the

139
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 3: show on NBC Sports Boston. So that is tonight six

140
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 3: o'clock and seven point thirty, and it'll layer all day

141
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 3: on Saturday, off and on and even on Sunday. And

142
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 3: it's kind of cool because it's All Star weekend in

143
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 3: the NBA.

144
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: So what does that mean? All Star weekend in the NBA.

145
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 3: That means that we will not be preempted by a

146
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 3: Celtic game or a Sixers game, the Warriors of the

147
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 3: Sacramento Kings, or the Lakers or any of the other

148
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 3: teams that are on the stations that carry Benny versus

149
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 3: the Penny.

150
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: So we should have full clearance and the.

151
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 3: Show should air about every ninety minutes, about every ninety minutes.

152
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 3: The show should be on somewhere somehow about every ninety minutes.

153
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 3: So that that is the deal with the TV show.

154
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 3: We had a lot of funny. So how do you

155
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 3: do a TV show? You're supposed to pick games, there's

156
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 3: no games to pick.

157
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: What do you do? Let me explain? All right, calm down, cowboy.

158
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 3: So the TV show is a look back, a retrospective

159
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 3: as we look at the season that was what went well,

160
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 3: what did not go well? We also look ahead to

161
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 3: some of the big storylines that we'll be talking about.

162
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: The odds you can bet.

163
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 3: On where certain players are going to go, So we'll

164
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 3: have some of that and we'll just have a good

165
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 3: old time.

166
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: Let's have fun.

167
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 3: That's what the show is all about. It's about gambling,

168
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 3: but it's about fun. It's about having a good time.

169
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 3: And there will be a video up later today. Another

170
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 3: video will pop up from our final trip around Universal

171
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 3: Studios in Hollywood.

172
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: In the rain.

173
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 3: And it doesn't rain in La unless occasionally it does,

174
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 3: and not that un complaining.

175
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: It could have been worse. It could have been ice,

176
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: could have been snow.

177
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 3: But it's been very rainy the last couple of days

178
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 3: in the Southland here, and we whizz through the rain.

179
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 3: I did bring an umbrella. I noticed that on I almost

180
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 3: never use an umbrella. The wife was like, you got

181
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 3: to use an umbrella. Use an umbrella, so.

182
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: She owed me with the umbrella.

183
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 3: But I'm kind of a tall guy and lost a

184
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 3: lot of weight, but I'm still very tall, and I've

185
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 3: noticed that to have the proper umbrella coverage, I need

186
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 3: to fully be covered by the umbrella, and I need

187
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 3: a tall, big and tall size umbrella he blew me

188
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 3: off at.

189
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 1: A hotel near lax I'm sure they sell those things.

190
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 3: They're probably very expensive, and I don't feel like spending

191
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 3: a lot of money on big and tall umbrellas because,

192
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 3: as you know, umbrellas last about five minutes and then

193
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 3: they fall apart the first big gust of wind. That's it.

194
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 3: That's all. So I think I'll just stick to the

195
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 3: smaller umbrellas. But the problem was we were walking. We

196
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 3: had to walk up a hill. I'm really happy with

197
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 3: where we went for the final video at Universal Studios.

198
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 3: I think we'll be impressed. One of the great sets

199
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 3: in the history of Hollywood. And we were there just

200
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: hanging out in the rain schmoozing. Now, Looney, I got

201
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 3: a sorry about Looney. So Looney, the knucklehead I do

202
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 3: the TV show with. We call him Tell the Prompter, Tom,

203
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 3: So Tell a Prompter, Tom. I said, Tom, this is

204
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 3: our last show. This is it, right, this is the

205
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 3: climax farewell performance. You know all that the finale, And

206
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 3: I said, listen, we're gonna be walking in the rain.

207
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: Bring an umbrella. He said, bring an umbrella. Okay, So

208
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: we do the show.

209
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 3: We then go down to put some of our stuff

210
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 3: in the car to walk to where we need to walk.

211
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 3: So we're in the Laurel and Hardy parking garage.

212
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: I said, all right, let's go grab your umbrella and

213
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: tell a prompter.

214
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 3: Tom says, I'm good. I don't need the umbrella. I

215
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 3: bet you have the umbrella. I don't need the umbrella.

216
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 3: I said, it's raining. It's not raining that hard. Bring

217
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 3: the umbrella.

218
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: I don't need the umbrella, I said, Tom, we're going

219
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: to be walking up a hill.

220
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 3: Is maybe it's not raining right now, but it's going

221
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 3: to be raining a lot. Then he gives the whole

222
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 3: lot from New York, you know, that whole thing. I'm

223
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 3: from Elmyra or where he's from. And so he's going on.

224
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, fine.

225
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,479
Speaker 1: So we walked and start walking and we're walking in puddles,

226
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: and I mean, it was it was interesting.

227
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 3: It was an interesting walk, and you know, we do

228
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 3: the whole thing, and we both ended up soaked. But

229
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 3: the umbrella, because it was so small, the water was

230
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 3: pouring off the sides and onto my pants.

231
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: Like the top of me was not getting wet.

232
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 3: Really, my head was fine and the top of my shirt,

233
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 3: but everything lower was getting soaked. I did want to

234
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 3: mention this now, this being the finale of Benny Versus

235
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 3: the Penny season number two, we will not know the

236
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 3: ratings until next week. And this is not a list,

237
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 3: by the way, Terry in England's listening, This is not

238
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 3: a list, Terry. This is Big Ben's Big Board of

00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 3: the most watched season finales or series finales. Now, this

240
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,960

241
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 3: with Benny Versus the Penny season three, but we'll get

242
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,000

00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 3: All these shows are like in the nineties and the

267
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 3: eighties because that's when people did not have the Internet

Speaker 3: Cheers went off the air in nineteen ninety three, they

287
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 3: had eighty point four million, and then everyone went out

288
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 3: in Boston and got hammered, and they brought back I

289
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,600

290
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 3: They brought back some of the other characters, but eighty

291
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 3: point four million. And if I remember correctly, the Tonight Show,

292
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 3: which was very popular back when people watched late night

293
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 3: TV with Jay Leno that that show went out of Boston.

294
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: They just interviewed all the characters from Cheers.

295
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 3: And then the number one, which will never be beaten

296
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 3: in my lifetime.

297
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: And I'm going to go on on a limb and

298
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: say your lifetime.

299
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 3: For the biggest TV audience by a TV show in

300
00:16:55,120 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 3: their series finale, that would be Mash Mash nineteen eighty three,

00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 3: Alan Alda the Goodbye Farewell, see you later, bye bye.

302
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 3: And not only was that the most watched series finale ever,

303
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 3: it had been the most watched television event ever until

304
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 3: twenty ten. And if you look at the super Bowl

305
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 3: now this we just had the super Bowl this week.

306
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 3: They said one hundred and twenty seven million people watched

307
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 3: the super Bowl.

308
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a lot of people, but nineteen eighty three,

309
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: one hundred and five point nine million all tuning in

310
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: to watch a show about the Vietnam War. I mean

311
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 1: that is I mean just war in general. But there

312
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: it was. It was a big part of everyone's life

313
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: and this, that and the other thing. Anyway, so there

314
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: it is.

315
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 3: And we we'd like Benny versus the penny to slide

316
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 3: on in. We'd be happy if we got the thirty

317
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 3: six million of family ties. We'd be very We don't

318
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 3: even have to be in the top ten. I don't

319
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 3: want to be a douche because Fraser was number eleven,

320
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 3: so we could beat Fraser. That was a popular show,

321
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 3: the Cheers spin off where everybody loves Raymond. Our show

322
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 3: like that. I think that would be fine. But listen,

323
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 3: thank you, Benny versus the Penny coming up tonight. Check

324
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 3: it out and we move on, and we move on

325
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 3: to this, and this would be the soap man cometh.

326
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 3: So keep in mind as I am talking to you

327
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 3: here on this Friday morning and Valentine's Day and all

328
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 3: that the TV show hasn't really aired. It started airing

329
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 3: last night, but it hasn't aired all over the place,

330
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 3: and I'm already getting emails they're gonna bring the showback?

331
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:46,919
Speaker 1: Is the show going to come back? What's gonna take

332
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: for having another season of the show? And I was like, listen,

333
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: I want to address that right now. A thank you.

334
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 3: I appreciate you reaching out, all right, it's wonderful. I

335
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 3: know you're racking your brain and trying to figure out

336
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 3: how you can help. And here's the way I will

337
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 3: describe the conversations I've had with management at NBC. They've

338
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 3: been very good. They love the show. You know, I

339
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 3: don't think they just say that to everybody. The show's

340
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 3: evolved over the last couple of years. I'm proud of

341
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 3: the show. As I said, things are going pretty well.

342
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 3: I feel like for what the show is, it's getting

343
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 3: to where we want it to be week in week out.

344
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 3: You know, it's kind of like McDonald's and Starbucks. You know,

345
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 3: you can go to a Starbucks in any single country anywhere.

346
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 3: You get that venti coffee there at your Starbucks.

347
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: And the quality is the same. You know what I'm saying.

348
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 3: You know what you're gonna get. And I'm not a

349
00:19:54,040 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 3: coffee drinker, but the consistency, the dependability of those big

350
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 3: company like McDonald's.

351
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: You know what a big Mac tastes like.

352
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 3: If you're in Minnesota, and if you go on a

353
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 3: road trip to Maine or something like that, or you

354
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 3: go to California, it's gonna taste the same no matter

355
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 3: where you are in the world. Right you know, you

356
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 3: go to the Golden Arches, they will be consistent. You

357
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,959
Speaker 3: might not like it, you might think it's shit, but

358
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 3: you know that you're going to get the same experience

359
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 3: in terms of the basic menu and the wrapping, the design,

360
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 3: all of that. So there's consistency and Starbucks it's pretty

361
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 3: much the same.

362
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: Right, They're pretty much the same.

363
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 3: And it's push button coffee machines.

364
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: You know, there's not a lot different.

365
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 3: My wife loves Starbucks and so we've been to Starbucks

366
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 3: all over the United States in our travels. And yeah,

367
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 3: so it's depending. So that's the point, right, there's some

368
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 3: studiness to it. It's like Ron pop Peel with that

369
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 3: Showtime Rotisseri thing. The infomercial said it and forget it,

370
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 3: And so that's where we are. I feel like the

371
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 3: show's in that good spot there, set it and forget it.

372
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 3: I mentioned the soap man Cometh because I learned actually

373
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 3: a very very valuable lesson. I learned it on this

374
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 3: podcast from someone we had on, the old voice of

375
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 3: the New York Yankees, John Sterling, a great John Sterling

376
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 3: who's still to this dip. I called John Sterling up

377
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 3: right now. He'll answer his phone.

378
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: He'll say hello John here and he'll talk and if

379
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: he's available, he's got a few minutes, he'll come on

380
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: and do the show. He's retired now.

381
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 3: But John Sterling famously said the most important thing is

382
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 3: to sell the soap. You gotta sell the soap, and

383
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 3: that's the key to season three of Benny Versus the Penny.

384
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 3: It's all based on advertising. So as long as we

385
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 3: have a title sponsor and someone that's going to be

386
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 3: paying the freight for the TV show that will bankroll

387
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 3: season three, we're good. So if you want to help

388
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 3: the show out and you know someone that wants to

389
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 3: sponsor the show, let NBC know or let me know,

390
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 3: and I'll let NBC know.

391
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: We'll work some there. It'd be a lot of fun.

392
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: It'd be great, it would be wonderful. But wait, there's more.

393
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 3: As I pointed out, and I'm a man of my word,

394
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 3: if the TV show gets picked up for season three.

395
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: I did a Mallard meet and greet the very last minute.

396
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 3: Blind Scott came down and we got to meet Masshole

397
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 3: Mickey before he passed away, and there were a couple

398
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 3: other folks that showed up very last minute in the

399
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 3: rain in Boston on the North End. And so we

400
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 3: will do another Malard meeting. I don't know if it's

401
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 3: going to be in Boston proper, because I feel like

402
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 3: we have a lot of you guys that listen out in.

403
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: The Springfield, Worcester area. And so we'll figure it out.

404
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 3: I did want to complete the mission for Masshole Mickey

405
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 3: mass Ole Mickey had planned he'd send me a bunch

406
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 3: of emails about it doing an event where I threw

407
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 3: out the first pitch at a baseball game there in Worcester,

408
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 3: the Wusacks, I believe they're called, and I'd love to

409
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 3: make that happen. I would love to go out there

410
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 3: and hang out with you guys at a baseball game.

411
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: That would be awesome. And also I want to meet Alf,

412
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 1: the alien opiner.

413
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 3: I almost met Alf at the one we did last year,

414
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 3: but Alf was unable to make it because the weather

415
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 3: was horrific and I don't think he had gone to

416
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 3: tire Rack yet to get his new tires, and so

417
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 3: there was a problem there and that was that. But anyway,

418
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 3: so there it is a soap man, come with you.

419
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 3: Gotta sell some soap and then we'll get season number three. Now,

420
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 3: ring the bell. Got to ring the bell, Ring the bell,

421
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 3: So I think we'll get out on this so ring

422
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 3: the bell. It is very rare in life that you

423
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 3: will come across someone. Now I don't know this person

424
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 3: like as a friend, but I've met them a couple

425
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 3: of times over the years and their life, their life

426
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 3: story gets turned into a movie. That's kind of cool, right,

427
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 3: that's kind of cool. Actually found this out. Mike Harmon

428
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 3: sent me this message because he's aware of the history

429
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 3: of the Premiere Networks. So years ago, we used to

430
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 3: have these Galla Christmas parties.

431
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: I mean they just kicked ass.

432
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 3: We were the showboating around there and open bar, fine food,

433
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 3: Beverly Hills Hotel, black tie type event, just first class.

434
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: All the way. Premiere knew how to do it. Now,

435
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: they stopped doing that.

436
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 3: Years ago because I guess it was too expensive and

437
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 3: they had to give people that money. But we loved it.

438
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 3: We were treated like royalty and it was so much fun.

439
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 3: And I remember when I was a young young lad,

440
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 3: I worked in radio for a few years, but I

441
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 3: got hired for Fox Sports Radio, which is part of

442
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 3: the Premiere now it's called the Premiere Networks, And so

443
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 3: I got invited to this Christmas party and everyone of

444
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 3: their uncle was there. But they flew in all of

445
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 3: the top radio talent. So we're talking about like doctor Laura.

446
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: And she was there.

447
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 3: Matt Drudge, who was living in floor at the time,

448
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 3: he was part of that Rush Limbaugh. I mean, these

449
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 3: are big time people in radio, and they had Art

450
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 3: Bell was there as well.

451
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: And that's the name right there.

452
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 3: Because according to the Hollywood Trades, Dateline says that there

453
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 3: have been multiple bidders for a radio biopic.

454
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: Amazon and Warner Brothers.

455
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 3: Have put bids in for a pitch that is making

456
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 3: the rounds from the team called It's Radio Silence is

457
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 3: the team with Paul Giamatti is going to be the headliner.

458
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 3: And this Paul Giaomanni, the son of Bart Giamanni, the

459
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 3: old commissioner of baseball who was there and died and

460
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 3: Pete Rose that whole era and Bart Giomonni and Pete

461
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 3: Rose never gott in the Hall of Fame. And those

462
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 3: two things are connected anyway. The sales pitch is a

463
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 3: biopic about the host of Coast to Coast DJ Art Bell. Yeah,

464
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 3: and he did his show from Perump, Nevada, which is

465
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 3: about sixty miles as the crow flies from Las Vegas.

466
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 3: I've talked about being in Perump, Nevad. I've been there

467
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 3: for an event my wife's work had and Perump is

468
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 3: where all the whorehouses are in Nevada.

469
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: It's legal.

470
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 3: Prostitution is legal in perump I don't know if that's

471
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 3: why Art lived there, but Art was a legend. And

472
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 3: I got to meet Art a couple of times at

473
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 3: those holiday parties, and that was really cool because I

474
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 3: was a listener. I was a listener to Coast to coast.

475
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 3: My parents always stayed up late. I was always a

476
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 3: late night guy. And there was nobody that did it

477
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 3: better than Art Bell.

478
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: If you wanted to hear about keemtrails, you wanted to

479
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: hear about some kind of time travel or mind reading

480
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: or lizard people. He had it all. He had it all,

481
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 1: and it was great.

482
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 3: And Art Bell and his wife, they apparently they they

483
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 3: moved out to the desert.

484
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: There. They had one hundred and fifty foot long triangle craft.

485
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: They saw at one point.

486
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 3: They saw a UFO. They saw a UFO supposedly, and

487
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 3: that that helped inspire Coast Coast. But they lived in

488
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 3: like this small little house in promptivout. It was like

489
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 3: there was really nothing, nothing magical or anything like that.

490
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 3: But back in his salad days. Art passed away a

491
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 3: number of years ago. I think he passed in twenty eighteen,

492
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 3: I believe, but it doesn't really matter.

493
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: It's been gone for a while. But Coast to Coast

494
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: and George Norrey does a great job. But in its day,

495
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: they got about ten million people listing to Coast to

496
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: Coast ten million and they were on overnight ten million

497
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: people in the middle of the night. Can you imagine,

498
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: my god. I mean, that's what a legend is.

499
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 3: Anyway, So this movie is in production and we'll see

500
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 3: see what it's about.

501
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's obviously about Art Bell, but how they're

502
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: gonna make it?

503
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 3: Are they going to make it where it's art just

504
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 3: sitting there in a dark room talking about area fifty one?

505
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: How far are they going to go in?

506
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 3: He I guess at some point he worked in city

507
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:40,959
Speaker 3: government in Perumpt that's his hometown, and it's a fascinating tome.

508
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: I've read a little bit about Art. There's not too

509
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: much out there about his life. And we'll see what happens.

510
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: But I would love to have a little, small, small

511
