I don't know anyway, So thank you. 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:10.320 Paul Barry from South Carolina, and Barry met him at 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:13.280 the Great Mallard Meet and greet we did in Charleston 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.360 a while back, and he sends a letter in on 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:18.760 the mail bag. He says, I'm in South Carolina for now, 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.240 houses up for sale, but the market blows. 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.240 I just need to get this soul than I am 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.279 out of here, he says, Yo, yo, mob Benny. Is 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:27.960 it just me? 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:33.719 Or have Donut Kelly's calls gotten much worse since she 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:38.080 moved to Iowa. She used to be a good caller. Yeah, 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:41.880 I enjoyed Donut Kelly on the show. The quality of 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:46.560 her work has gone down tremendously. And Danny, you know 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:49.680 this from being a radio seasoned veteran. When you do 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:53.200 call and talk radio and the people call up and say, hey, 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:54.599 what do you want to talk about? 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:56.479 That's not normally how that goes. 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:58.880 I've had multiple people Donut Kelly's done that to me 0:06:58.920 --> 0:06:59.599 a couple of times. 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:00.920 There was a. 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:04.640 Guy from Colorado that started calling the show that did 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.520 that also this week, Barry, It's like, no, like. 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:08.039 You call up. 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:11.040 If you have something to say, you say it. Try 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:15.480 to use brevity, be quick, get to the point and 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:16.000 get out. 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:17.120 That's it. 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:20.320 And yeah, so yeah, I don't know what's going on 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:24.000 with Kelly, but she's she's found someone in her life, 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:27.040 which is great. That's one of the new power couples. 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:30.320 Shane in the Moines and Kelly into Moyne and they 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:31.400 met because of the show. 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.280 But you're right, Barry, the calls have not been have 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:37.200 not been great. Well, I should do a. 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.120 Like a YouTube video series on how to be a 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:43.840 good sports talk radio caller or just what to avoid 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:44.960 to be a crappy. 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:49.280 Caller, especially if you don't have like add because Rich 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:52.760 Davis was playing hooky. He was at Dodgers Stadium to 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:56.680 watch his beloved Mets lose to our Dodgers. Normally he's 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.480 the gatekeeper. We take any call on Covino and Rich 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:01.600 and he's uhuh huh, speed it up, speed it up, 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:03.520 speed up. Or if any of us try to tell 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.520 even a short story, you could see this look in 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.640 his eyes. He wants you to tell no details, get 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:11.800 to the point and shut up so he can talk again. 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:14.800 Yeah, yeah, there's there's an etiquette. 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:18.240 There's there's an etiquette to this. And then but as 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:20.320 you know, Danny, at night, the etiquette. 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.560 Usually goes out the window. It just it just it 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:23.000 just made it. 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.480 Alf from Deep in the Jungle rights in on the 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:30.320 mail bag. He says, whatever happened to quicksand? When I 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:34.559 was a kid, it seemed that every movie, TV show 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:39.120 or cartoon had some sort of quicksand scene, And nowadays 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:42.120 you don't see it at all. That's great, that's a 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:46.440 great take by Alf. It is true, Daniel, we're around 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:52.000 the same age. It's like every cartoon, movie, sitcom character 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:55.920 got stuck in quicksand, and how were they gonna get 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:59.400 out of it? Were they gonna die? And so at 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.840 some point they moved on that. What is replaced quicksand? 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.800 Is there something? Because you need the character to be 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:10.400 stuck in in something, right, there's got to be a predicament. 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.040 But the quick the quicksand thing. It's a great take 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:16.199 by Alf. Because you don't you don't see it. And 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.880 I remember reading some I remember reading some fun facts 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:21.040 about quicksand, because why not? 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.439 And they pointed out that despite. 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:28.320 All of those movies and all those TV shows, that 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:34.880 you can't actually drown in quicksand right that because you'll 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:37.480 only it'll because of the way the human body is. 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:39.400 I remember reading this. I forget exactly what it is 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:40.800 because I don't have it. You in front of me 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:44.199 and all that stuff, but you won't actually sink all 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:47.200 the way where only your hand like you know on 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:49.960 the TV show, like your eye up, your eyeballs and 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:54.240 all that stuff. It's that's not actually not true at 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:55.559 least what I read on the internet. Maybe when I 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:57.920 read on the internet was wrong, but I remember reading that. 0:09:57.920 --> 0:09:58.480 On the internet. 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:02.240 And so, yeah, like the Scooby Doo Gang, somebody would 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:02.880 get stuck. 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.680 In quicksand yeah. 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:06.720 The bad guy and then they pulled the mask off. 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:08.559 Oh it wasn't for you meddling kids, I would have 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:13.080 gotten away with it. Quang writes in from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:14.320 and he says this every week.

I do have a mild update. 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:46.880 I did hear from the people at end bees See 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.559 as they continue to decide whether or not to bring 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:52.480 back season three of Benny Versus the Penny. 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:56.559 I heard about this. They loved my Hoarder versus the 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.120 Quarter idea A. 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:01.600 Great idea we're trying to come up with, like what 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:03.840 what does the hoarder look like? You know, it looks 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:08.520 like Tom Looney anyway, So I'm waiting. There are some 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:10.880 meetings that are going to take place, so fingers crossed, 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:14.559 you know, whatever kind of good mojo you got, because 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:17.280 a number of you have said, boy, we want you 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:18.200 to come back to Boston. 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:20.040 We want to do another meet and greet, and I 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:23.680 guess out in Wooster the wu Socks. That's one of 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:24.479 the events. 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:27.320 The Leprechaun and I didn't get a chance to meet 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.440 alf the alien ol Pliner last year when we did 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:33.960 a very brief get together outside Boba's Bakery on the 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:34.440 North End. 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:36.440 So because there was a lot of rain and whatnot. 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:40.840 So again nothing, nothing's guaranteed. They haven't made any decisions. 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.800 There are some meetings at the network over the next 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:48.800 probably ten to fifteen days, and. 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.600 We will know after that whether. 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:52.480 Or not they're going to bring back season number three 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:56.360 of the TV show. And we are optimistic, but we 0:14:56.400 --> 0:15:00.240 are realistic because it's a lot of money and they 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:01.240 got to come up with the money. 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:02.160 And so there you go. 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:06.400 Reggie from Detroit writes and he says, hey, Ben have 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:10.120 Coop and Lorena apologized for not inviting you to that 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:13.360 dinner in Vancouver. I'm still shocked that they did this. 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:16.520 You're the host of the show they work on. Me 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:20.000 and my wife both are upset that they disrespected you 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:23.080 that way. Well, thank you, Reggie. No, they have not, 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:27.120 which I'm also shocked by it. I was very rarely 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.200 my blown away by anything. I'm pretty mellow for the 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.520 most part. I'll snap, Reggie, you've listened to the show. 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:34.840 Every once in a while, I'll genuinely get upset about 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.480 something like this. Is one of those times. I really 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:37.880 could not. 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:40.240 Believe that it happened. I still can't believe it. 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.720 But they you know, hey, listen, they did what they did, 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:47.360 and that's fine. And I was not raised that way. 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:51.960 So whatever it's. You know, I'll do the show. But 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:55.120 I think that that was a tough situation, Reggie. 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:57.160 Who the heck is justin Cooper. 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:00.440 Someone that doesn't invite you to a dinner on a 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:01.760 trip that he got going. 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:03.000 Yeah, I don'tant to get it anyway. 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:06.680 I'll just say that that is a fresh wound. And 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:10.680 I've been in radio thirty years. That's right near the top. 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:12.520 Of the biggest a hole moves I've ever seen in radio. 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:19.480 Frank and vanc met, Yeah without Ben, That's right exactly. 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:22.840 I hear these stories like, you know, Danny and Covino 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:24.560 and Rich go on the road. You guys all bond, 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:27.800 you know, go to dinners on my show. Let's not 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:32.440 advice the host of the show man, I can't believe that. 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:35.600 I still it just blows me. Anyway, Frank in Vancouver, 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:38.960 who I did meet Frank, very nice man.

Puts a new perspective when 0:16:56.600 --> 0:17:00.600 listening to the show. It personalizes the listening experience. Sounds weird, 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:05.240 but I think you get the drift. Yes, email continues 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:08.080 from Frank on the mail bag. He says, and I 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:11.400 hope you found the poutine experience satisfactory. 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:12.520 At a minimum. I did.
