There 15 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: last night, well last afternoon, from three o'clock till five o'clock. 16 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 3: And it went longer though it always does. 17 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,479 Speaker 1: I have so many stories I want to share, and 18 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: I've actually been advised by Terry in England. He says, Ben, 19 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: don't use the stories. Now, wait until next weekend to 20 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: tell the stories. 21 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 4: Yeah. 22 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 3: Well it makes a lot of sense because we still 23 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 3: need to catch up on stories from last weekend. 24 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. In fact, that's a great segue. 25 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: That's a good jumping off point, Danny, because I do 26 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: have a story, and we have the mail bag. Ohio 27 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: Al is standing by, Ohio Al is standing by. But 28 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: we must begin with this. So traveling on the blind side. 29 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: Did any g traveling on the blind side? So my 30 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: wife and I went on. We talked about this yesterday 31 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: a little bit, the wild adventure, although all I pretty 32 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: much talked about was the fact that we ran into 33 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys caravan on the way up the coast. 34 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: So we go on this wild adventure up the California 35 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: coast the other other day. We had no plan, there 36 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: was no itinerary's, we didn't use a pin on Google Maps. 37 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: We followed the zen master, Phil Jackson, and Phil always 38 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: had these witty zen like quotes when he was coaching 39 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: the Lakers, and I was out there a lot, believe 40 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: it or not, the Laker hater, I was out there, 41 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: and I love Phil though Phil was unlike just about 42 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,839 Speaker 1: anyone else I've ever come across in this job, where 43 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: he actually gave you an answer and just didn't give 44 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: you a cliches, and so at least that's the way 45 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: he made you feel. And so one of the things 46 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,119 Speaker 1: Phil used to talk about during the NBA season, which 47 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: seemed like it went on forever, and that was back 48 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: when players actually had to play in the regular season, 49 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: and Phil talked about, you know, the way to live 50 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: your life. He's enjoyed the journey in that context of 51 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: the NBA. Enjoy that Wednesday night in Sacramento just as 52 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: much as you would enjoy Game one of the NBA 53 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: Finals against the Celtics. So enjoy the journey, not just 54 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: the destination. So of course that's easier to do when 55 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: you don't have a destination. Danny, we didn't have a destination. 56 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: That's the whole point. The great thing about not having 57 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: a destination is you cannot be late. If you don't 58 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: know where you're going, there's no way to be late. 59 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 3: You can't be late. 60 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: We didn't have a hotel, room booked, we didn't have anything. 61 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: And along the way we passed the Dallas Cowboy Caravan. 62 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: Then we got out of La Proper. We went past 63 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: the Fox Sports Radio compound and then came face to 64 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: face one of the great monuments to human arrogance, and 65 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: this is something close to your heart, Danny G. 66 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 3: You have talked about. 67 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: This on these airwaves, on this podcast, but I can 68 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: now say that I have seen it with my own eyes. 69 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: The I think it's the Liberty Canyon Wildlife Crossing. 70 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 3: It's got some name on it now, but it says 71 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 3: Annenberg on it. Now, all right, whatever, who cares whatever, 72 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 3: that's the person who donated half the money. 73 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever, It's called privately funded. 74 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 3: Fine. 75 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: This is the overpass that you've brought up, Danny, and 76 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: we talked about here. It's in a gory. It goes 77 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: right across the freeway there, Ventura Freeway, and it's like 78 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: a sim City cheat code type thing. And they claim 79 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: you said this is the largest wildlife crossing in the world, right, 80 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: isn't that what you've said. 81 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 3: Daniel right now? Yeah, Colorado is building one that's even bigger. 82 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 3: As of now. This is the biggest and baddest and 83 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 3: most expensive. Yeah. 84 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: So I saw I heard you talk about it, and 85 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: you set me stories from the news in LA and 86 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: I was like, well, this is the opposite direction of 87 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: where I live. We live on like the opposite ends 88 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: of the world here, and so it connects. It's like 89 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: the Semi Valley Hills or whatever in the Santa Monica Mountain. 90 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: I think that I know the Santa Monica Mountains on 91 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: one side. 92 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 3: And there's some other hills on the other way. I 93 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 3: don't know it connects a gora in Calabasas. 94 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, that's fine, so I can report boots 95 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: on the ground Danny as an eyewitness. I did not 96 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: see a mountain lion. I did not see a bobcat. 97 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: I guess they can now, you know they can the 98 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: freeway without jaywalking. 99 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 3: So that's good. Again. 100 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: I didn't see, though, any bobcasts, no lions, no bears. 101 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: I didn't see a raccoon, any squirrels, I didn't know. 102 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 3: I didn't see that. 103 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: I didn't see a coyote with an uber eats bag. 104 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:17,239 Speaker 1: I didn't see anything. Uh, and I had the same vibe. 105 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: I was like, I realized you said this was like 106 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: mostly privately financeered. 107 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 3: Yes, right, And so my question. 108 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: Is to people really think that the animals are standing 109 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: around there like it's a Disney movie? Do they do 110 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: they think that like that's like Bambie's mom and Simba 111 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: or planning a meet up there? Right on the bridge, 112 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: you know, right across the one on one freeway there, 113 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: and you know, I don't know, I just there had. 114 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 3: To be some sort of research done where there were 115 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 3: a lot of animal deaths in that area, crossing, trying 116 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 3: to cross the freeway. That's all I can think of. 117 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's like we're building highways overpasses 118 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: for animals. And again I'm like, they don't really no, 119 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: like they don't know that's just for them. They don't 120 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: even know like highways exist. They just are out and about. 121 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: You know, it's you know, it's like some kind of 122 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: Pixar fan fiction fiction the endnet. I'm not, Oh, you're 123 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,559 Speaker 1: against animals, but no, you hate an animal? 124 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 3: No, they're delicious. 125 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 4: I love it. 126 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 3: Oh No. And now you can see, you know about 127 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 3: the big fires that were here, yes, less than a 128 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 3: year ago, and that's a solid piece of foundation now 129 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 3: from one side to the other, crossing eight lanes whatever. 130 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 3: That is total. So that could be disastrous in the 131 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 3: future and not to be you know, Debbie Downer or 132 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 3: Benny Downer. 133 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: It did look danny like those hills were pretty dry, 134 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: like it looked like I remember I was talking to 135 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: the wife and we're like, man, they got to get 136 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: some rain out here or something, because these hills are 137 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: starting the ground starting to crack a little bit. And 138 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: that's not good. That's that's a bad sign. Man, that's 139 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: a bad sign. But any and it's like just a 140 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 1: year ago they had the fires and all ready the 141 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: hills were back ready to be ready to. 142 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 3: Burn, unfortunately. 143 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: But anyway, we kept going up there and went through Ventura, 144 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: which was an absolute asshole of vent I thought Ventura. 145 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: Last time I was Ventura, I thought it was nice. 146 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: But I guess we went in the wrong part of Ventura. 147 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: Holy where did you go in Ventura Main Street? 148 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 3: We I don't know. 149 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: We got off the freeway. 150 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 3: We were like, we were. 151 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: Driving down one of the big streets in Ventura, and 152 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: I guess we went to the wrong part of Ventura. 153 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 3: Oh you were somewhere on Ventura Road.

So anyway, listen, Pismo. 175 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: To me, those are all cool things. They have a 176 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: really nice peer in Pismo. It's beautiful Central California, really cool. 177 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: But for me, Pismo is known for one thing and 178 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: one thing only, and that one thing, Danny, is the 179 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: cinnamon roll Old West cinnamon rolls. 180 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 3: That's it. 181 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: That's the whole town. That's it. You can have everything else. 182 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: You can have the clams, you can have the butterflies 183 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: can flutter off. I don't care. This place is the 184 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: in and out of the OUI gooey cinnamon roll. There's 185 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: a line out the door. There's people buzzing around there 186 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: like that beehive, Like a beehive, Danny. 187 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 3: I would drink a cup of that frosting. 188 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: Holy crap. And they really only sell one thing, now 189 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: that I know, they have a few other items on 190 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,199 Speaker 1: the on the menu, but it's pretty much just five 191 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: different ways to get a cinnamon roll. It's finger I 192 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: don't care if it's KFC slogan or not. Finger licking, 193 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 1: good napkin soaking. You talk about that sugar topping, Holy crap. 194 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: Just awesome slice a heaven, you know, one of the 195 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: things that you're just happy to be alive and and 196 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: right there. And so we stopped on the way up, 197 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: and we then doubled back on the way down because 198 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: self controls overrated. Danny tastes like a touchdown in your mouth. 199 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: And I actually sold my this is fun. I sold 200 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: my wife because she was on the phone with the 201 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,599 Speaker 1: cistern in law and she was telling the cistern in 202 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: law we stopped in Pismo again sinmin roles, and so 203 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: my sister in law was like, oh man, I wish 204 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 1: we had some. So I in my head, right, this 205 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: is how I worked, how wired, Danny. I said, you 206 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: know how I can get another cinnamon role. I'm gonna 207 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: tell the wife, let's do a good mitzvah. Let's buy 208 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: some on the way back to give to your sister. 209 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: And so she was on board with that. So I 210 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: was able to squeeze out another cinnamon roll on the 211 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: way back down. Yeah, right, come on. But and it 212 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: was it was disguised. It was camouflaghed. It's a veteran 213 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: married man move. It was camouflaged as an act of kindness. 214 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: But really I just wanted another cinnamon roll on my 215 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: belly on the way back down. Tell me I'm down, 216 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: marcell I don't even think Marcella knows what a cinnamon 217 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: role is. So somewhere we were somewhere north, we went 218 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 1: to hurst Castle. We love the beach at hurst Castle 219 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: because there's no one ever there. There's a little pier, 220 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: beautiful and it's like you know, lording over the Pacific. 221 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: San Simeon, Yes, San Simeon, like the Gatsby Mansion right there. 222 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: It's like, it's wild that this guy owned all that land. 223 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: That the story of the newspaper empire, the Hurst Empire, 224 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: and how he he bought all of that land. He 225 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: anything you could see from that Hurst Mansion was was his. 226 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 2: And uh. 227 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: And we drove up to the seals, you know, the 228 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: sunbathing seals up there. Have you taken cold to see 229 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: the seals by the. 230 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 3: Way, have you not yet? No? Oh, yeah, they're great. 231 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,199 Speaker 1: They lay around and fart and uh and throw sand 232 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: on each other. 233 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 3: And then we we. 234 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,839 Speaker 1: Drove for as far as we could drive, as far 235 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 1: as we could drive. We drove up Highway one, and 236 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: it disappeared literally into the ocean. It was reclaimed by 237 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: mother nature near Big Sur, so we could not go past. 238 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: We couldn't even really get the Big Sur because I've 239 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: learned that mother Nature does not do eminent domain. She 240 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: just swallows up whatever she wants. And this was the 241 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: entire road I guess Highway one there. 242 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, that Highway one has been jacked up. 243 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, so we we turned around, you know, muttering like 244 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: you know, okay, that sucks. 245 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 3: What are we gonna do? Well? 246 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 1: Highway one? I guess they had fixed it, and then 247 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: within a couple of months it was back down and so. 248 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 3: That was that. 249 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: We went back on our way down I mentioned, we 250 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: picked up the cinnamon rolls and we sashi ate our 251 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: way across California, went all the way up to Santa 252 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: Santa Cruz, well not Santa c San Luis Obispo. 253 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,199 Speaker 3: Slow that's what they call it, right, slow.

Reggie 283 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: from Detroit says, Hey, Ben and Danny, it was great 284 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: hearing Eddie call into the show this week. However, I 285 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: did notice a number of the fans were triggered yet again. Ben, 286 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: on social media, they are still blaming you for Eddie 287 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: leaving the show. What do you think of this? That 288 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: is from Eddie? From Reggie about Eddie. Yeah, Reggie, so 289 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: my position has not changed. I will tell you it 290 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: is flattering. I love the fact that there are people 291 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: that have this passion, and I love the fact that 292 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: there are people that think that I have that kind 293 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: of power. I am flattered that you think that doing 294 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: the overnight show at Fox Sports Radio, I am in 295 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: control of the show, that I picked the people I 296 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: work with that is outstanding. I am very flattered that 297 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: you believe that. And I will be consistent though with 298 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: this whole like this outrage over Eddie. Me and Eddie 299 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: are friends. We love working together. I did not make 300 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: that decision. Who was up to me Eddie would be 301 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: back on the show. He did call in, he had 302 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: met Sherwin, a listener to the show, And so I 303 00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: look at it like the way I look at sports. 304 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: One thing I was told this by a Dodger executive 305 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: thirty five years ago at a meet and greet with 306 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: a Dodger executive. He said, listen, we don't care if 307 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: you rip the Dodgers. We don't care if the fans 308 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: rip the Dodgers. We don't care if they praise the Dodgers. 309 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: We don't care about it. You can do whatever you 310 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: want as long as you care. The one thing that 311 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: we cannot have is apathy. And I go by that mantra. Reggie, 312 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: like these people that are still upset blaming me, you're upset. 313 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: I get it that means you care. It's not apathy. 314 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: This is important to you. 315 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 3: And so you're. 316 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: Uneducated on what happened and you're misguided. But those are 317 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: separate issues, and so I'm fine. 318 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, it just shows passion. 319 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: Exactly, and that's all. I just want to get passion, 320 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: and I get it. 321 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 4: Listen. 322 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: I feel like when I was listening to radio and 323 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: there somebody would leave a radio show or someone get 324 00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: whacked at a radio show. 325 00:15:58,600 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 3: I hated it too. 326 00:15:59,280 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 4: It sucked. 327 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: It sucks at some corporate weasels at different places that 328 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: make these decisions, and there a lot of them are 329 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: just based on financial situations. 330 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 3: I don't get. 331 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: That's not my department. So before I get in trouble, 332 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: Scott from Clearwater, Florida rights and says, hey, Ben and Danny. 333 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: Back in two thousand, he says, uh, this guy, Scott. 334 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: I did my broadcast journalism internship at WKYT and Lexington, Kentucky, 335 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: and while there I shot some Bengals games on the sidelines. 336 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: I also had to drive the Louisville a number of times. Now, 337 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: back when they existed, I read newspapers every day while 338 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: I ate lunch in Louisville. The newspaper was evenly split 339 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: between Big ten and the SEC. For sports. Lexington is 340 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: all SEC. I would propose to you then, that the 341 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: college town of Louisville is the line, the point of 342 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: demarcation between the Midwest and the south Cincinnati. That's two ends. 343 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 1: One is north of Louisville, therefore it's in the Midwest. Also, 344 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: I think when you sound out Cincinnati, it should be 345 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 1: one N and two T's any thoughts there. I think 346 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: that's the bigger injustice here. So it sounds to me 347 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: Danny like Scott does not like the way I say Cincinnati, 348 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: just not like that. But that's my tribute. Remember the 349 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 1: show w k RP and Cincinnati. That's why I say 350 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: it like that Cincinnati, because they used to say on 351 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: the show like that. We've had this long standing debate. 352 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: Is Cincinnati a southern city or is it a Midwestern 353 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: city a northern city? And the people of Cincinnati get 354 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: very offended when you say that they're a southern city. 355 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: Yet when I've flown into Cincinnati's airport to change planes, 356 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,719 Speaker 1: it's in Kentucky, which I consider a southern state, the 357 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: state of Kentucky, So. 358 00:17:59,400 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 3: That's it. 359 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: I don't know that you really answer the questions got 360 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 1: to you. Louisville so like the South the North South 361 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 1: line cuts through through Louisville, Kentucky. 362 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 3: So fine. I feel like I'm more confused now. 363 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 1: I know, right, Alf from the Q Rights and he says, 364 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: what's your favorite podcast Ben and Danny that you're not 365 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: personally involved in? From Alf Danny, do you have a 366 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: favorite pod that you listen to? We both work in 367 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 1: audio content, so is there something that you listen to 368 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: on your downtime? 369 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 3: No, To be honest, I have my hands full with 370 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 3: the podcasts I'm involved with. I'm usually listening to those 371 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 3: to make sure that technically everything is sound. I don't 372 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 3: have free time to listen to other podcasts. 373 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I try not to listen to too much 374 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 1: stuff because I've talked about this Danny. 375 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 3: You know, we work together for a long time. 376 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 1: I don't want to take someone else's stick, and I'm 377 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 1: always concerned if I listen to someone else in like 378 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: sports radio or something like that, Well. 379 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 3: It could be a non sports podcast. 380 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, like what normally will happen. I have a pretty 381 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 1: long drive in from the north Woods when I go 382 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: to the Mothership, which is more times than I used 383 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: to go to the Mothership. And so I'm in the 384 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: car a lot to and from and I do have 385 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: some time where i could consume audio content, but I'm 386 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,439 Speaker 1: normally trying to, Like on the way there, on the 387 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: way into the studio, I'm trying to think about the show. 388 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: So I'm like thinking about what I'm going to talk about. 389 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: And then on the way home, I don't want to 390 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: think about anything. You know, you want to unplug. You 391 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: just want to My voice is always shredded at the 392 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: end of the show these days since Eddie left, and 393 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: so I just want quiet.

He says there was a big 493 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 1: debate online this week, and he says, Ben, I know 494 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: you're not a music guy, but I want to know 495 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 1: Danny G's thoughts. Who do you think should headline the 496 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:54,880 Speaker 1: super Bowl. It's here in the Bay Area in February. 497 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: That's right. 498 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 3: It's gonna be northern California. It's not gonna happened, But 499 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 3: it should be Metallica. It really should. I mean they've 500 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 3: they've done because they've done hip hop a couple of 501 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 3: years in a row. Metallica have Bay Area roots that 502 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 3: I think would be an amazing show.

Did you 600 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: see that Cracker Barrel has a new logo for the 601 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: first time in almost fifty years. Is this an upgrade 602 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: or a downgrade? 603 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 3: Not just a new logo. They renovated the insides and 604 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 3: outsides of how these restaurants look now. 605 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: So I saw the logo I have not seen I've 606 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: not been to a Cracker Barrel in a long time, 607 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: although every time I visit, I've only been there one time. 608 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: But my father in law, who lives in North Carolina 609 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: most of the year, now loves Cracker Barrel. So I imagine 610 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: next time I visit North Carolina, we will go to 611 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: a cracker Barrel again. Although there are cracker barrels in 612 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: the area, the one in Santa Maria. I stopped in 613 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: Santa Maria on my way up. I go to Costco 614 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 1: and Santa Maria to get gas. When I go up 615 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: to the California coast, they closed the Cracker Barrel. 616 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 3: I don't like. 617 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: I'm going thumbs down Dan on the new logo. I 618 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: don't like it's too basic. I think it's it takes 619 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: away the ethos of what cracker barrel wash was. The 620 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 1: old guy, some would say, the Cracker Danny in the photo. 621 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 3: There the logo. So I don't know. I just I 622 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 3: don't like it. I think Cracker hands down the greatest 623 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 3: cracker of all time. 624 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: Yes, last one from Mike In Parts Unknown, he says, Hey, bandon, Danny, 625 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: did you see the White House is getting a ticked page? 626 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: Weren't they trying to get rid of TikTok?

So I don't know what. 630 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: I assume they're trying to reach people. That's why they're 631 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: doing that. 632 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 3: Obviously, I'm not on there either.
