He's the last remnants 4 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 2: of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He 5 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 6 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. 7 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:18,440 Speaker 1: Wow. 8 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special. 9 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now. 10 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: In the air everywhere.

I just 15 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: know it's the Final Four. I call it the Final Four. 16 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 3: I think they're calling it the Super Championship round weekend 17 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 3: on Sunday. 18 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, So just watch and we'll get massive ratings. 19 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 3: It's a little wordy. 20 00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: We'll send out a press release on Tuesday, how great 21 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: there were and how everyone watches the NFL because you're 22 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: all addicted, and that's it. That's what you're all addicted. 23 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: That's all. 24 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 3: So besides the Seahawks and Rams, your Rams, the other 25 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 3: game is underwhelming. 26 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: Let's say if the Patriots don't win that game today, 27 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: there there are some issues. How do you you can't 28 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: back up quarterback? And everyone brings up Nick Foles and 29 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: Jeff Hostel, but how many other backup quarterbacks have played 30 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: in our lifetime Danny and sucked the odds? Is it 31 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: possible one day you know that the Broncos. Everything goes 32 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: right in my mind and you watch Benny versus the 33 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: Penny on YouTube, there's picks for both games today. But 34 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,479 Speaker 1: in my mind, I mean I did pick the Broncos 35 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: in the game. I did take them plus the points. 36 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: I think the points are too big. The Patriots should 37 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: win the game is come on, now should win? 38 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 3: Yeah? I did the same thing. I think the Patriots 39 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 3: are going to win the game by four points, and 40 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 3: so Vegas is trying to lure people in. And I 41 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 3: think it opened at five and a half and it's 42 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 3: sitting at four and a half on DraftKings. But I 43 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 3: told this to CNR on the air a few days ago. 44 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 3: Imagine if Davis Mills had gotten into that game instead 45 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 3: of CJ. Stroud riding the vomit comment as you would say, 46 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 3: that's right, and the Texans got past the Patriots, we 47 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 3: would have had Davis Mills versus Jared Stidham. 48 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: Oh Man, Well, the NFL, the NFL will say, and 49 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: it is true that it doesn't really matter who's in 50 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: the super Bowl. In our lifetime, we've seen the Arizona 51 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: Cardinals get to the Super Bowl. We've seen the Carolina 52 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: Panthers get a couple times get to the super Bowl. 53 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: So it has happened. Although like of the possible matchups, 54 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: a Sam Darnold Jared Stidham matchup in the Super Bowl 55 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: is really lacking a lot of That's not like the 56 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: match I mean, the made for TV matchup would be 57 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: Stafford versus Drake May. The top two MVP guys, one 58 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: of them is going to win the MVP And you 59 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: know how they do this super Bowl week they have 60 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: the Gallo Award ceremony, So a couple of days a 61 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: Friday before I think it's the Friday before or the 62 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: Thursday before the Super Bowl, they have the big. 63 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 3: Award show, NFL Honors. 64 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so one of them will win the MVP 65 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: Award and to have that matchup would be pretty good. 66 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: That would be night Patriots back, different coach, different quarterback. 67 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: There's something there. And the Rams with the prodigy, Sean McVay, 68 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: and then Stafford the magical season, storybook season. That shocks 69 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: me that they're in this final four. I was doing monologues. Yeah, 70 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: I talked about this on the show the other night. 71 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: I was doing monologues before the season about Jimmy Garoppolo 72 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: being the quarterback because it seemed like Stafford wasn't gonna 73 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: be able to play. He couldn't practice, his back was 74 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: all messed up. They brought in this truck special like 75 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: Boodoo Doc Mike, like doctor Guy to come Stafford and 76 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: here we are, one good day away from getting back to. 77 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 3: The super Bowl. Let's keep it real. And you're from 78 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 3: the Jackiees later days. Yes, yeah, that's been amazing with him. 79 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 3: Slater used to miss preseasons and he told somebody in 80 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 3: an interview that I saw or read that the more 81 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 3: preseasons he missed, the more the more training camps he missed, 82 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 3: the more seasons he got to play. And so they 83 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 3: just need to keep Stafford out for the next two 84 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 3: training camps so he can extend his career even longer. 85 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: I know, well the quote Jackie slid what in the web? 86 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 3: Yeah didn't, wasn't Jackie The one who got disconnected. 87 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: I think Jackie had a TV. He had a more 88 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: important interview, so he cut me off. 89 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 3: And that's that's what it was. He rushed you off 90 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 3: the phone. 91 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: He had TV waiting for him, so podcast TV. He 92 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: ran away. But I did get to tell Jackie my 93 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: memory of going to RAMS training camp as a kid. 94 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: My mom would drop me off in a different time 95 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: and I just there was like hardly any security. There 96 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: was like one rent a cop with a folding chair 97 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: and us, you know, I just I want. I hung 98 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: out with the offensive lineman and they were farting and 99 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: cursing and talking wild and I, every second of his 100 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: little kid thought that was the greatest thing in the world. 101 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: So here we are. Championship in the NFL today. A 102 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: final two will be set Super Bowl a couple of 103 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: weeks away.

We 110 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: had to beg people, we had to I was posting 111 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: on Facebook to get questions. It was like it was pathetic. 112 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: But fortunately the podcast is picked up and with Danny 113 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: here and whatnot, we we've done very well.

First up is uh Danny in Nashville, 117 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: who writes in. He says, Hey, Ben and Danny g 118 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: real life work is a biach and my girlfriend is 119 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: eight months pregnant, so I am not able to call 120 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: into the show, but I still listen to your guys shows, 121 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: podcast all that stuff. What are your thoughts? Danny and 122 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: Nashville says on the trend of colleges like Alabama and 123 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: Baylor signing G League professionals and they're immediately eligible, the 124 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: NCAA explicitly said the Alabama G League guy was not eligible, 125 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: but a Tuscaloosa Circuit judge, who is a six figure 126 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: donor to the program, gave him a restraining order against 127 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: the NCAA. He is now allowed to play against Tennessee, 128 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: he said, And I guess I guess this already happened. 129 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: What the f is going on? With college sports at 130 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 1: this point. It's semi pro God bless, that's Danny. So 131 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: first of all, Danny and Nashville, where have you been. 132 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: It's been this way for a number of years. This 133 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: is not all of a sudden a new revelation from 134 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: college basketball nation. It's been this way for some time. 135 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: It is bizarre that they're letting G League guys play 136 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: college basketball, although it's a logical step because what's the difference. 137 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: You're still paying them whether they went to the G 138 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: League or not. Uh, And this is the way it is. 139 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: I hate Danny. The government meddling in this stuff. I 140 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: know that's where this is headed, and it's it's gonna 141 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: suck because there's gonna be it's bad now. But then 142 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna put a bunch of rules in that, you know, 143 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: be government oversight, and that's not gonna be any good either. 144 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: So there's really not a great show. 145 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 3: I can't wait to hear Trump talk about this. I'm 146 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 3: gonna have to fix this with all this nil stuff, 147 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 3: especially with college football kind of I'm gonna I'm gonna 148 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 3: be honest. I kind of liked it better when the 149 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 3: deals were made in the shadows in the back alleys 150 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 3: with bags of cash. 151 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: Uh. Yeah, Well I always felt guilty watching because it 152 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: was so ridiculous when they that bull crab student athlete, 153 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: which was never really the case. It was all a 154 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: bull crap. Uh. And then this is like the other extreme. 155 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: It's like you go from one wing of the plane 156 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: to the other wing of the plane. You're like, well, 157 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: I want to be in the middle of the plane. 158 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: I want to be on the right or the left wing. 159 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: I want to be in the middle. You can't be 160 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: in the middle. It does. It just feels dirty. Like 161 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: the guys that are transferring while they're on teams that 162 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: are playing for the championship. There are guys in entering 163 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: the portal. It just seems very odd. But here we 164 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: are so the guys that play, like the Mississippi old 165 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: miss quarterback who's played six years tried to get a 166 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 1: seventh year of eligibility. I don't know if he got it. 167 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: I don't think he did. 168 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 3: That's the thing, Ben. The portal shouldn't be well that 169 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 3: school has ten million for me and you only have 170 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 3: five million for me. The portal should be for guys 171 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 3: who are backing up a star player and they get 172 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 3: lost a little bit on the bench can have an 173 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 3: opportunity to start for another team. I think that that's 174 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 3: why it was put into place. 175 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: Well whatever they whatever they decided it was for, is 176 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: not being used for that, and they should have a 177 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: clear window. Like to me, this is one thing I 178 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: would be on board. If you're a football player and 179 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: you're going to transfer, make sure it's after the National 180 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: Championship game. It's kind of you know how that we 181 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: were kids in the World Series and then like the 182 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: day after the World Series, one of the players would 183 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: get not released, but kind of put on like they 184 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: would announce certain players We're not gonna be on the 185 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: team because you have it within seven days of the 186 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: World after the World Series. But it's after the World 187 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: Series or after the like after the Super Bowl. Let's 188 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: say the Rams when and when they go to the 189 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Well yeah, some of those guys will end 190 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: up getting put on what waivers or whatever after the game, 191 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: but not prior to the game. It just seems seems odd. 192 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: So there will be government oversight. Danny and Nashville and 193 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,599 Speaker 1: I like that you're all grown up. Danny used to 194 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: call the show back in the day, and he was 195 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: a kid. Now he's all grown up, he's got the girlfriends, 196 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: about to pop out a kid, he's got a job 197 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 1: that he hates. So life is good. Danny in Nashville, 198 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: you're living on adault life. 199 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 3: May the Lord be with you. I remember what it 200 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 3: was like when Brenda was eight months breaknant. 201 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: I'm good luck, Danny, good luck. 202 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 3: You know it's a blessing now, man, I love having 203 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 3: CoA in my life. But at the time and going 204 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 3: through a pregnancy with somebody, there were several times I 205 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 3: wanted to go for a pack of cigarettes. If you 206 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying here, I hear you. 207 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: Ryan C from Shrewsbury, mass Writes and he said, hello boys, 208 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: It's been a while since I emailed you, but I 209 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: still listen to every episode and at least the last 210 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: half hour of the Overnight Show.

Love hearing your stories Danny and noticed an 217 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: apologies in advance of some me personal that's Ryan and Shrewsbury. 218 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: I'll go first, right, So I am going to be 219 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: coming to Worcester at some point this year, according to 220 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: the Leprechaun and our friend in New Hampshire, and we 221 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: haven't picked a date yet. The plan was to try 222 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: to get to a WU Socks game and throw out 223 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: the first pitch. That was something that was big for 224 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: Masshole Mickey or Mikey rather, who passed away a couple 225 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: of years. I guess it's been a couple of years now. 226 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: I don't have time fly, so we're looking at most 227 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: likely after maybe late April, early May, something along those lines. 228 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: I'm guessing it'll be sometime in May. I don't know. 229 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,439 Speaker 1: It might not be then, it could be later on. 230 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: I'm waiting to hear back from the Leprechaun with some 231 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: possible dates.

What I would do is hire. I 368 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: would buy one of those really nice snowblowers, and I 369 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: think that would be fun. I don't know that I 370 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: want to hold a shovel like it's seventeen thirty seven, 371 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. If I could get a 372 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: nice snow I would I would do that. In fact, 373 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: that could be a good hustle, Danny during the snow 374 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: time you were, and we have guys that call the 375 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: overnight show that are seasonal workers that drive the snowplow 376 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: trucks and they're out there hustling. But I'm saying, just 377 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 1: cleaning people's property of snow, that would be a nice 378 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: little extra hustle for you. I mean, paid a decent 379 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: amount of money for doing that, I would think. But 380 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: I would not use a shovel, alf. I would buy 381 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: one of those cool snowblower things at home, deeper or 382 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: lows or whatever, and that would be my move. So 383 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 1: what about you, Danny. 384 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 3: I would hire some dumb kid from down the street. 385 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: Some dumb dumb dumb dumdumb dumb dumb. 386 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 3: Yeah.

It's great. You 445 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: should never take real estate advice from Tom Looney ever. 446 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 3: Ever. 447 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: Ever, I am still dealing with the fallout from that 448 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: that goes back now eighteen years, a decision that I 449 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: still regret to this day. And also personnel moves he'll 450 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 1: recommend certain people. The thing about Looney is he's your 451 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: typical LA guy, lucky Tony. He loves celebrity. I don't 452 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: really get that worked up by famous people. I don't 453 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: hate them, I just don't really. It doesn't do anything 454 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: for me because they're just normal people. When you pull 455 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: back all that stuff. But Looney loves celebrity. 456 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 3: You are more excited by costco samples. 457 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm excited about meeting the people that are 458 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: like famous in our show or whatever. But Looney, he 459 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: loves celebrities. He would go to the Whole Foods down 460 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 1: the street from the radio station in Sherman Oaks because 461 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: that's where all the celebrities would shop. They live up 462 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: in bel Air and they'd come down and shop for 463 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: their tomatoes or whatever. And Looney, oh yeah, I ran 464 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: into this back when Keith Jackson, the voice of college football, 465 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: was alive. I ran it to Keith Jackson. He was 466 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: buying tomatoes, and then Looney would tell some story about 467 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: how you like, pretended like he was Keith Jackson doing 468 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: play by play as Keith as Keith was picking tomatoes 469 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: out stuff like that. He's not a bad guy. He's 470 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: an interesting character. That's all character. 471 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 3: And he was very talented at doing updates and playing 472 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 3: drops and sound effects and all that. I miss his updates. 473 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's updates. We you know, he's great. He 474 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 1: was great. I mean, there's a lot of people this 475 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: kind of coast. It's unfortunate they don't really put a 476 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: lot of work into it. They treat it like they're 477 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 1: working at the DMV, which is disappointing, you know, because 478 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: I think we're a couple of old radio guys, right, Danny, 479 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: I think you should take advantage that. 480 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 3: You should. 481 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: You should try. 482 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 3: Oh dude, I always appreciated his creativity on the air. 483 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 1: It does blow me away the amount of people that 484 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: just don't value that, like Looney always made it his 485 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 1: masterpiece and you should. And the people not naming any 486 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: there's some people who just don't give a crap and 487 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: you can tell by their work. It sucks.

I guess I don't know. I'll do a 524 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: couple more and get out. We have Reggie from Detroit. 525 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: Good to see Reggie's name in the email bag. He says, 526 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 1: there's a new study that says kids are trying to 527 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: use books like phones in class. And then he says, guys, 528 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: how could this possibly be true? That's Reggie from Detroit 529 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: and he sent me a story here Dan. It says 530 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: nearly a third of children our starting school unable to 531 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: use books properly, with some trying to swipe pages as 532 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: if they were smartphones or tablets. 533 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 3: Oh my god, hey, Ben, I believe this. I totally 534 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 3: totally believe this because working at the middle school in 535 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 3: the morning, I am around these kids every day. Now, 536 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 3: the girls lately have been wearing ed Hardy sweats hold 537 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 3: down on their butts. No, no, And you remember that 538 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 3: ed Hardy brand. 539 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: Yeah? 540 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. These kids don't know anything about the past. You 541 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 3: don't know anything about the future. 542 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 1: Wow, that is that's how far back is that? That's 543 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: like twenty years at least, right. 544 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 3: Two thousand and six, two thousand and seven, it says 545 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 3: is when ed Hardy reached its peak. So I was 546 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 3: early wearing it before then, but two thousand and six 547 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 3: it reached its peak, so exactly twenty years Bam ben mallar. 548 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: Right, Well, I didn't didn't wear it, so I just guessed. 549 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: I blindly guessed and I got it right. 550 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 3: No, no shit, you didn't wear that. They don't sell 551 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 3: that at Costco. 552 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: I'll sell my size easither. I think this guy's in Atlanta. 553 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:31,719 Speaker 3: I don't know. 554 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: He didn't give a city because he's an idiot. He 555 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: sent me this story. I sent this to Rob Parker 556 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: right away. There's Georgia. Lawmakers have introduced a bill that 557 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: will make lemon pepper the official chicken wing flavor in 558 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: the state of Georgia. And of course Rob Parker legendary 559 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: for going to the was it Magic City? Oh yeah, Atlanta, 560 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:57,959 Speaker 1: this famous strip club, and remember Lou Williams, Sweet Lou 561 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: left the bubble to go get a chicken wings at 562 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: Magic City, the lemon pepper chicken wings. So it's appropriate 563 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: that that would be the flavor. Now, my wife claims 564 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: that that's just the most popular chicken wing flavor anyway, 565 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: not just in Georgia. Do you think that's true, Danny, 566 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: you think that's an accurate statement? 567 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 3: I don't know. 568 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. 569 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 3: In my house, it's honey barbecue. 570 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. I think honey barbecue's more nationally more popular than 571 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: lemon pepper. 572 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 3: I would agree. I think lemon pepper maybe is third 573 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 3: after traditional buffalo. Yeah. I would go honey barbecue, traditional buffalo, 574 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 3: and then Lou Sweet Lou. 575 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: I did send that story to our friend Rob Parker, 576 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: and he did.
