But this is your unofficial early early pregame 17 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:09,199 Speaker 1: show without Terry Bradshaw, without a lot of just canned 18 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: laughter and all that and my rams play out or 19 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 1: not a big game they play the Saints Raiders obviously 20 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: played back on on Friday. The biggest game by far today, 21 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: not even close, is the Eagles and Ravens game. Right 22 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: there's nothing really even close to that on the card today. 23 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: That's I know Sunday Night uses the biggest game forty 24 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,559 Speaker 1: nine ers in Bills, But the Eagles Ravens game, that's 25 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: where it's at. That is the game day. 26 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 3: The weather, the elements should be fun to watch for 27 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 3: Sunday Night football because they're expecting sleet and snow and 28 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 3: thirty mile per hour wins. 29 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: Yes, snow globe game. It's supposed to be a snow 30 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: glow in Buffalo, which is always kind of kind of cool. 31 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: I guess Brock Purdy, if I read correctly, this week, 32 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: he's gonna play who knows if he's gonna finish the game. 33 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: So there's some debate about that, his health and all that, 34 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: but there should be some snow there. And as far 35 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: as the other try to look around here. There's a 36 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: slight chance of snow for the Washington Tennessee game and 37 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: the DMV it's gonna be maybe in the second half, 38 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: some snow for that game today. Slight chance of snow 39 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: in Baltimore for the Eagles and Ravens. But yeah, the 40 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: big one if you want to see a snow game 41 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: Buffalo and San Francisco, that's the big snow game today 42 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: on the NFL car so we have the mail bag. 43 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: But before we get to the mail bag, I teased 44 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 1: this yesterday the word of the. 45 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 3: Week, the word of the week, So. 46 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: We're in the week, this weekend, this first day of 47 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: December is gremlin. Kremlin. Now, you know in the movie 48 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,679 Speaker 1: Gremlin's Danny. We're around the same age, and that was 49 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: a big movie in our youth, right, Gremlins, And of 50 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: course that's. 51 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 3: What I always think about when we're annihilating wings at 52 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 3: Buffalo Wild Wings. 53 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was. When I have to do the show 54 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: from the home studio and things get attacked, I think 55 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: of the Gremlins. So a gremlin, believe it or not, 56 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: a mythical creature in the upper air who causes damage 57 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: to airplanes. And the term not that old. The term 58 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: it first appeared in the Royal Air Force. It's the 59 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: UK Air Force. It was Royal Air Force slang during 60 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: the interwar years of the nineteen twenties. Now there are 61 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: claims that gremlin was in use during the First World War, 62 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: and while the people that study the history of words 63 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: say that's plausible, there is no evidence it, meaning it 64 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: wasn't written down somewhere earlier. Now, the origin of the 65 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: term is actually unknown, But what is known is that 66 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: gremlin as first recorded, originally had a much different meaning. 67 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: That is, a a low ranking commissioned or non commissioned 68 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: Air Force officer. So you were called a gremlin if 69 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: you were a low ranking you know, a person in 70 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: the military, the Air Force in the UK, one who 71 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: performed the routine duties that were beneath the dignity of 72 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: the brass. So you were a low level hoi poloid 73 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: type person. And they say it was first used in 74 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: a poem. The first time I was written down. There 75 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: was a poem that appeared in April of nineteen twenty 76 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: nine in an issue of the journal Aeroplane, and that 77 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: was the first use of the term gremlin. So originally 78 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: gremlin meant some low level person in the Royal Air Force, 79 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: and for us now it means a little creature, a 80 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: little weird creature thing. So all right, let's get to 81 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: the mail bag. What do you say you ready for 82 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: the mailbag? Let's go, hio. 83 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 3: Al it's. 84 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: Mail bag, all right.

He says, gentlemen, I'll 100 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: try not to be Debbie Downer this week. But Masshole 101 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: Mickey had asked me weeks ago whether or not I 102 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: thought that you'd be doing a mail bag this week, 103 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: and he told me he had a great question for you, 104 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: which you teased last week when you read his question. Also, Ben, 105 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: I thought you were the king of the tees. But 106 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: masshole Mickey has outdone you, because now I have to 107 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: wait until I passed through the pearly gates to ask 108 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: him what his question was. Oh Man Yeah. So now 109 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,799 Speaker 1: for my mediocre question, do your wives really get into Christmas? 110 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: I mean, like multiple trees and Christmas village pieces and 111 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: decorations everywhere, like the ones that my wife puts all 112 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: over the Alpha State. Before we get to that, I 113 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: did want to address Masshole Mickey major depression. Obviously, we're very, 114 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: very sad. We did the mail bag last week. I 115 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: did not find out that Masshole Mickey had died until 116 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 1: we found out. I found out on Sunday during I 117 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: think it was Sunday during the day what I believe. 118 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of the timeline. But at the 119 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: time we did the mailbag, we did not know that 120 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: he had had died. He died on his way to work. 121 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: And my condolences to his family, obviously as his wife 122 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: and his kids there and his friends many and I 123 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: want to thank his friends.

They're fans of the show, 127 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: and they knew him from the show, and they listened 128 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: to the show and they wanted me to know that 129 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: he had passed away on his way to work and 130 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: just terrible. 131 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 3: Super sad.

I know he loved the show. And I met 137 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: him when I was back in Boston. We were taking 138 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: some stuff for the TV show and I said, like, 139 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: last minute, I a couple hours noticed. I was like, Hey, 140 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be outside Bova's Bakery on the North End. 141 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: Anybody wants to meet me, come down. I give nobody 142 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: really heads up, and mass Ole Mickey's such a big 143 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: fan that he drove.

And I talked to blind Scott a 147 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: little bit this week, and blind Scott had gotten there 148 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: a little bit earlier and was catching up with mass 149 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,719 Speaker 1: Ole Mickey, and blind Scott was really emotional about it too. 150 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: We were talking about you know, he had told me 151 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: how big a deal the show was for him and 152 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: how he loved it and it was such a big 153 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: part of his routine, mass O Mickey, and it was 154 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,839 Speaker 1: just just sat all the way around, especially and he 155 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: almost died during the summer. He told me the story 156 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: about he had had major medical problems. He had a 157 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: big operation and a lot of health problems, and you know, 158 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: he got over that and he went right back to 159 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: work because he had to provide food, you know, money 160 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: for the family and whatnot, and so he quickly went 161 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: back to work. And yeah, I don't know what happened. 162 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: I know, I don't know all the details.

I don't know about all that, but just 167 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 1: just a sad deal.

They'd heard his name a 173 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,079 Speaker 1: lot because he used a lot of it on Twitter. 174 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: He only called in a few times, but a lot 175 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: of email questions for this podcast, and also he would 176 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: send us messages on Twitter all the time. 177 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,719 Speaker 3: So but he really was a nice dude, and he 178 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 3: had a great sense of humor obviously, good taste and radio.

He was great man. I 182 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: loved hearing about his life. And he had worked as 183 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: a chef, he had some health problems, you know that's 184 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: obviously couldn't do that anymore, and spent a little time 185 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: in California, had in San Diego, and it was good 186 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 1: to get to know him a little bit. And I'm 187 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: really happy I got to meet him. I obviously did 188 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: not think that would be the you know, the end 189 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: of it. I thought I'd see him every year, going back. 190 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: Hopefully the TV show gets picked up and we go 191 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: back and hang out and catch up, you know, a 192 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: year after year and all that. But you never know. 193 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: That's the craziness of life, right, You don't know when 194 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: that's it. And this is the second time that's happened 195 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: where I met a listener at an event and within 196 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 1: a couple months they died. There was a guy Rick 197 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: in Boston. This goes back probably fifteen sixteen years. I 198 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,079 Speaker 1: was with Mikey Adams. We were bar hopping around Boston. 199 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: Mikey Adams is a big nighttime guy wi and he 200 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 1: knew that guy was like the mayor of Boston, knew 201 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: every bartender complete you know, he loved drinking. So we 202 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: would bounce from bar to bar around Boston. And Rick, 203 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: this guy, one of our callers, showed up and it 204 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: was really cool. And again, you know, died in a 205 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,959 Speaker 1: car accident and I remember Rick, and that kind of 206 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: triggered that memory of Rick from Masshole. 207 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 3: Mickey. 208 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: As far as the question, alf, I yeah, I mean 209 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: my wife is obsessed with Christmas. I'm Jewish, so I 210 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not. We celebrate the spirit of Christmas 211 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: at the house, but not the not really religious stuff. 212 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 1: But I mean, yeah, there's lights, there's the tree, and 213 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: this already yesterday, Danny. On Saturday, we went out and 214 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: got the tree. Uh, and my wife's like, she's reading 215 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 1: these stories online. She's like, well, you know, you don't 216 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: want to get it too soon because you know you'll 217 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: dry out and it's a fire hazard. And then like 218 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: two days later, let's go get the tree, you know, 219 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: so it's like, well, no, that's proba too soon. But yeah, 220 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: there's lights everywhere, all kinds of decorations. It's pretty pretty crazy. 221 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: What about you, Danny, your wife all over the Christmas. 222 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 3: For me, my mom didn't like the origins of Christmas 223 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 3: and thought it had pagan roots and didn't want to 224 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 3: follow the crowd to be like a sheep. Okay, she 225 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 3: didn't do Christmas. She didn't say anything bad about it 226 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 3: to anybody, but she just didn't celebrate, which was fine. 227 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 3: So growing up I wasn't accustomed to it. As an adult, 228 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 3: it's been like whatever because I don't have any tradition 229 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 3: with it. But my Wifey loves it because she has 230 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 3: great memories of doing it with her kids and traditions 231 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 3: and so Black Friday, as I was preparing to watch 232 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 3: The Raiders, she was preparing the Christmas tree and decorations. 233 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 3: She took everything out of the balcony closet with very 234 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 3: serious OCD put everything in the exact same spot it 235 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 3: was last Christmas, with some improvements from Amazon. So yeah, 236 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 3: she's really really into it. And she's one of those 237 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 3: ladies where she wants to take pictures where the whole 238 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 3: family has matching pajamas. 239 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,839 Speaker 1: Oh boy, those are the things when your kids are old. 240 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: They're like, holy fuck. 241 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 3: I'm always going to be one of those kids. Because 242 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 3: she took a picture like that last year and I 243 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 3: was the only one not in the matching pajamas. 244 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: You're like, I'm a Raider fan. I cannot do it. 245 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, not even for family. 246 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear you, all right. Next up Jose from 247 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: Van Eyes Beautiful Van Eyes, right, sin He says, Yeah, guys, 248 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: bet I like the videos you post on Instagram about 249 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: the TV show. I gotta know, though, Have you and 250 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: Tom gotten stopped by security while you wander around Universal Studios? No, 251 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: not really, there was one. It was one time. Tom's 252 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: still embarrassed we did that. There was a security guard 253 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: that they're always driving by these little golf carts Universal Students. 254 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: Now we have actual passes. Like it's very weird, Hojse 255 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: we're there. We feel like interlopers, like we don't really 256 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: belong there. We feel like we should be on one 257 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: of the trams that goes by every thirty minutes. But 258 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: we're allowed. I mean, we have a pass, we got 259 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: cleared by security. We are working, we do the TV 260 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: show from there, So it's very bizarre. It does feel 261 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: like you don't belong there. And we keep going further 262 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: and further back in Universal Studios, and the tram goes by, 263 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: and this is again this week. We were filming the 264 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: video and the tram went by and. 265 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 3: We yeah, I saw that, And because you were panning 266 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 3: your camera around a little bit, I recognized exactly where 267 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 3: you guys were standing from the tram tour when they 268 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 3: take you by and they show you different buildings that 269 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 3: writers work in across from the studio. 270 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, So we were walking that's like 271 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: the main street on the back lot. You walk down 272 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: that street and there's like a little dining kitchen area, 273 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: there's a writer's room, there's studios all across there. 274 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 3: That's gotta feel cool. 275 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: Oh, it feels awesome. It feels just amazing. It's it's all. 276 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: It's so great to do it. But yeah, one time 277 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: we got stopped again, I don't want to say stop 278 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: by security, but a guy came by and asked us 279 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: if we needed to direct. He thought we were lost 280 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: or something like that. You know, he didn't know who 281 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: we were, and you. 282 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 3: Know, Louis that's got to be because of the dumb 283 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 3: look on Looney's face. 284 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: Looney, of course was hurt by that because Looney wants 285 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: everyone to know who Looney is. I of course want 286 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: no one to know who I am. But we're complete 287 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: opposites in that in that regard. But it's been been 288 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: great fun and I appreciate it. It does remind me of 289 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: the early days of Fox Sports Radio. I have so 290 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: many great memories. When Fox Sports Radio launched, we had 291 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: studios at the Fox Lot in West La on Pico 292 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: and this is amazing. We would go out, and I've 293 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: told stories before, my buddy and we would run around 294 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: the Fox Lot. I'd just go there sometimes and hang 295 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: out and then they didn't care. It was very laid back. 296 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: There was hardly any security. Just go through the guard 297 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: gate going there and we would f around on the 298 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: New York set, the backdrop of New York. And then 299 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: nine to eleven happened and that was it. You know, 300 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: they I couldn't get anyone in after nine to eleven, 301 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: But before that it was cool. But this is a 302 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: lot of fun. So but yeah, security is not. They 303 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: really don't bother us. They just one time and Loony's 304 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: got all offended by that. Reggie from Detroit wright say, 305 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: He says, Ben and Danny, I know you guys don't 306 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: do sporty on the podcast. I know your thoughts. Ben, 307 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: I heard your monologue. How does Danny feel about Blake 308 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: Snell going to his Dodgers? 309 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 3: Oh, I'm glad this is a question this week. 310 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, so, I don't know if you have the same beef. 311 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: I I don't like Blake Snell. I don't. I was 312 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: very clear about that. He's a good ballplayer, but I 313 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: don't like him. I don't think you have his much 314 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: hatred as I have for But where are you at 315 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: on that? Dan? 316 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 3: No, he doesn't bother me specifically, But what bothers me 317 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 3: and I still have a bad taste in my mouth 318 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 3: is the uh. It was Thanksgiving Day, actually Thanksgiving morning. 319 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 3: Covino and Rich were filling in for Dan Patrick, and 320 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 3: one of their big topics that morning was the Dodgers 321 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 3: are the new evil Empire. I had a Yankees fan 322 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 3: and a Mets fan ganging up on me saying it 323 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 3: wasn't fair what the Dodgers are doing with contracts. 324 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: Oh stop so stupid. 325 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 3: You know, normally I get along really really well with 326 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 3: Coveno and Rich. They're good friends now, but I wanted 327 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 3: to punch both of them in the throat that morning 328 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 3: because I felt like that argument from them was beneath them, 329 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 3: especially being ironically a die hard Yankees fan and Mets fan, 330 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 3: because all baseball teams for money and try for the 331 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 3: big whale free agents, and the bottom line is these 332 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 3: players want to be Dodgers and chose the Dodgers, and 333 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 3: all the fans that are hating on the Dodgers right now, 334 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 3: to me, it just screams jealousy. 335 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: The other thing is, you understand, like people are debating 336 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 1: are they gonna get rid of deferred money. They're never 337 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: gonna get rid of deferred money, because what's gonna happen, Danny, 338 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: and I was talking to somebody who works in baseball, 339 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,199 Speaker 1: and they all kind of thought the same thing, Like 340 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 1: the Dodgers for the next ten or twelve years are 341 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,239 Speaker 1: gonna be set, but after that they're screwed, like with 342 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 1: all this deferred money with the Otani contract, so they better. 343 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: I mean, we're gonna be old, Danny. But by the 344 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 1: time we're old, they're gonna blow. I mean, they're gonna 345 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: have so much deferred money, it's highly unlikely. I think 346 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: the team will probably be sold by then, and then 347 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: whoever buys it is going to inherit all this debt 348 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: that they're gonna have to pay out but not it's gonna. 349 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 3: Be like a huge radio company. 350 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: You ain't kid, oh man, what are you doing moment? 351 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 3: But Benny, what's funny is though, when the Dodgers fell 352 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 3: on their faces two postseasons in a row, we didn't 353 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 3: hear any of this. 354 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: Oh no, it was the Dodgers of failures. 355 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 3: All these same people had all these jokes about the choker, 356 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 3: the choking Dodgers. So come on, man, So you're switching 357 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 3: from that to now this. 358 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, and Will Smith the Catcher is a homegrown play 359 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: that's oh. 360 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 3: I I brought him up more than once, and they 361 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 3: were making fun of me because I set his name 362 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 3: more than one time. They're like, you keep going back 363 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,199 Speaker 3: to Will Smith, and I'm like, cause he's one of 364 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 3: our core players. 365 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, exactly. 366 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,959 Speaker 3: So yeah, it just bugs me because I didn't think 367 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 3: they would go down that road. They're usually above the 368 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 3: petty sports cry baby stuff. 369 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 1: Well, you mark my words.

A Montreal 467 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: mall has been criticized. They're using the Baby Shark song 468 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: to deter homeless people to have them leave the mall, 469 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: so they keep playing the Baby Shark songs like this 470 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: has happened a lot. I don't think this is the 471 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: only time, David, this has happened. But I think that's 472 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: fair game. They're trying to their business people, they're trying 473 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: to get people to shop at the ball and I 474 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: understand it's not the greatest thing in the world, but 475 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: it's not. If the homeless people are there and they 476 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,199 Speaker 1: don't like the song, they'll leave. If they like the 477 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: song and then they can stay. But I don't have 478 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: a problem with it.

How dare you? 483 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: I just realized now that a lot of songs that 484 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: you and him, Roberto Eddie, all the songs are now outdated. 485 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: There's no I mean they there's no songs that are 486 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: They're all to me, they're classics, but they. 487 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, the militia they're busy mailing Lorena gifts instead 488 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 3: of mailing in Now. 489 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: I know we don't get anything.

You put a nice sounding female on 491 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 1: the radio and all of a sudden. 492 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 3: To any sounding female. 493 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know she sounds cute and 494 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: she is cute. 495 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean, let's be on this. Jeanie from 496 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 3: Medford had stalkers. 497 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's wild man. You guys are horn dogs. Steve 498 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: in Seattle writes in and says, I saw the story 499 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 1: this week. I thought of the podcast. Scientists believe we 500 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: will be able to go backwards in time within five years, 501 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: Ben and Danny, would you be down to go backwards 502 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: in time? 503 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 3: Wow, we were just talking about the future. This is 504 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 3: back to the future. 505 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: Back a I think it's bullshit. I don't believe we'll 506 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: be able to go backwards in time in five years 507 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 1: because if you go backwards in time, right, isn't this 508 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: the back to the future thing? You'll mess things up 509 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: and you'll screw everything up and then there will be 510 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 1: no future as you know it and all that. 511 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 3: So, yeah, you could erase yourself from the picture. 512 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 1: Now everyone would have the same plan, right, We'd find 513 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: out who won the Super Bowl, go bet on the Chiefs, 514 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: and then we'd all be rich and be great. But 515 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: I don't I don't buy that. Although I do believe 516 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: in the multiverse. I do believe there's different dimensions and 517 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: every decision changes the future in one way or another. 518 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like that movie Sliding Doors. 519 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 1: There you go. I didn't see that movie, but I'll 520 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: take your word for it. Take a bad job by you, 521 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,199 Speaker 1: Carl in New Hampshire. Right, since says Japan has launched 522 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: a drinkable mayonnaise, are you and Danny down with? I 523 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: don't mind mayonnaise, but I don't want to drink mayonnaise. Danny, 524 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 1: you a big mayo guy. 525 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 3: It's taken me years to be okay with the idea 526 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 3: of drinking yogurt mayonnaise. 527 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: No, thank you the yogurt guy. Kyrie and Okase I 528 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: checked in. He gave him a little shout out the 529 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 1: other day. He meant a lot. Thank you Kyrie for 530 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: checking and he always listens to our podcast religiously. He's 531 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: a big fan. I think Doc Mike was going through Oklahoma. 532 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: I was like, hey, you got to go see Kyrie man. 533 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: We got Kyrie and Okac, Marcus and san Antonio rights in. 534 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 1: He says, Hey, Ben, instead of waiting for Roberto or 535 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: Danny g to leave or get let go, can we 536 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,199 Speaker 1: possibly have them on that episode at some point? How 537 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: about Danny on every week? Marcus? He says, I get 538 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 1: enough of Lorena on the show, so we're good there. 539 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 3: Oh what does he mean on your live show? 540 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: I don't I'm not sure what. I'm confused by this 541 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: because he said he says, got me thinking about some 542 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: of my favorite interviews on the Real Fifth Hour the 543 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: last couple of years.
