<v Speaker 2>If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.240
<v Speaker 2>a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:12.520
<v Speaker 2>of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.520
<v Speaker 2>treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:17.520
<v Speaker 2>rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:18.440

0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:40.879
<v Speaker 1>But what is the name?

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:41.080
<v Speaker 3>Dan?

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Do we have an official name for today? I just

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:46.280
<v Speaker 1>know it's the Final Four. I call it the Final Four.

0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:50.239
<v Speaker 3>I think they're calling it the Super Championship round weekend

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 3>on Sunday.

0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So just watch and we'll get massive ratings.

0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:57.440
<v Speaker 3>It's a little wordy.

0:00:57.680 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 1>We'll send out a press release on Tuesday, how great

0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 1>there were and how everyone watches the NFL because you're

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 1>all addicted, and that's it. That's what you're all addicted.

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 1>That's all.

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 3>So besides the Seahawks and Rams, your Rams, the other

0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:13.680
<v Speaker 3>game is underwhelming.

0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.679
<v Speaker 1>Let's say if the Patriots don't win that game today,

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>there there are some issues. How do you you can't

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 1>back up quarterback? And everyone brings up Nick Foles and

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Hostel, but how many other backup quarterbacks have played

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:30.959
<v Speaker 1>in our lifetime Danny and sucked the odds? Is it

0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 1>possible one day you know that the Broncos. Everything goes

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>right in my mind and you watch Benny versus the

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Penny on YouTube, there's picks for both games today. But

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.479
<v Speaker 1>in my mind, I mean I did pick the Broncos

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>in the game. I did take them plus the points.

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 1>I think the points are too big. The Patriots should

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 1>win the game is come on, now should win?

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? I did the same thing. I think the Patriots

0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.920
<v Speaker 3>are going to win the game by four points, and

0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:00.200
<v Speaker 3>so Vegas is trying to lure people in. And I

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.320
<v Speaker 3>think it opened at five and a half and it's

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:06.040
<v Speaker 3>sitting at four and a half on DraftKings. But I

0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.560
<v Speaker 3>told this to CNR on the air a few days ago.

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 3>Imagine if Davis Mills had gotten into that game instead

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.639
<v Speaker 3>of CJ. Stroud riding the vomit comment as you would say,

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.520
<v Speaker 3>that's right, and the Texans got past the Patriots, we

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.919
<v Speaker 3>would have had Davis Mills versus Jared Stidham.

0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh Man, Well, the NFL, the NFL will say, and

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 1>it is true that it doesn't really matter who's in

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 1>the super Bowl. In our lifetime, we've seen the Arizona

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.799
<v Speaker 1>Cardinals get to the Super Bowl. We've seen the Carolina

0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Panthers get a couple times get to the super Bowl.

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 1>So it has happened. Although like of the possible matchups,

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:46.639
<v Speaker 1>a Sam Darnold Jared Stidham matchup in the Super Bowl

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:52.120
<v Speaker 1>is really lacking a lot of That's not like the

0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 1>match I mean, the made for TV matchup would be

0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Stafford versus Drake May. The top two MVP guys, one

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.280
<v Speaker 1>of them is going to win the MVP And you

0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 1>know how they do this super Bowl week they have

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 1>the Gallo Award ceremony, So a couple of days a

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.079
<v Speaker 1>Friday before I think it's the Friday before or the

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 1>Thursday before the Super Bowl, they have the big.

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:12.960
<v Speaker 3>Award show, NFL Honors.

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, so one of them will win the MVP

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Award and to have that matchup would be pretty good.

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.400
<v Speaker 1>That would be night Patriots back, different coach, different quarterback.

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 1>There's something there. And the Rams with the prodigy, Sean McVay,

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:30.240
<v Speaker 1>and then Stafford the magical season, storybook season. That shocks

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:33.639
<v Speaker 1>me that they're in this final four. I was doing monologues. Yeah,

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I talked about this on the show the other night.

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 1>I was doing monologues before the season about Jimmy Garoppolo

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 1>being the quarterback because it seemed like Stafford wasn't gonna

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 1>be able to play. He couldn't practice, his back was

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 1>all messed up. They brought in this truck special like

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Boodoo Doc Mike, like doctor Guy to come Stafford and

0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 1>here we are, one good day away from getting back to.

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.200
<v Speaker 3>The super Bowl. Let's keep it real. And you're from

0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:01.480
<v Speaker 3>the Jackiees later days. Yes, yeah, that's been amazing with him.

0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 3>Slater used to miss preseasons and he told somebody in

0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 3>an interview that I saw or read that the more

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 3>preseasons he missed, the more the more training camps he missed,

0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 3>the more seasons he got to play. And so they

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.560
<v Speaker 3>just need to keep Stafford out for the next two

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.280
<v Speaker 3>training camps so he can extend his career even longer.

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:24.080
<v Speaker 1>I know, well the quote Jackie slid what in the web?

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah didn't, wasn't Jackie The one who got disconnected.

0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:31.599
<v Speaker 1>I think Jackie had a TV. He had a more

0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:33.360
<v Speaker 1>important interview, so he cut me off.

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:35.640
<v Speaker 3>And that's that's what it was. He rushed you off

0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:36.159
<v Speaker 3>the phone.

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 1>He had TV waiting for him, so podcast TV. He

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.039
<v Speaker 1>ran away. But I did get to tell Jackie my

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.760
<v Speaker 1>memory of going to RAMS training camp as a kid.

0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 1>My mom would drop me off in a different time

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.040
<v Speaker 1>and I just there was like hardly any security. There

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 1>was like one rent a cop with a folding chair

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:54.800
<v Speaker 1>and us, you know, I just I want. I hung

0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 1>out with the offensive lineman and they were farting and

0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.960
<v Speaker 1>cursing and talking wild and I, every second of his

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:02.719
<v Speaker 1>little kid thought that was the greatest thing in the world.

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.480
<v Speaker 1>So here we are. Championship in the NFL today. A

0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.640
<v Speaker 1>final two will be set Super Bowl a couple of

0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 1>weeks away. Let's get to the mailbag. What do you say,

<v Speaker 1>Danny G mailbag time? Here we go.

0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:21.600

<v Speaker 1>Bag, ohio al getting me in the mood and first

0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:35.760
<v Speaker 1>up on the mailbag. These are actual letters by actual

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 1>listeners to the show. We thank you. When we first

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.039
<v Speaker 1>started this podcast, I started with Gascon long ago. We

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.360
<v Speaker 1>had to beg people, we had to I was posting

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.840
<v Speaker 1>on Facebook to get questions. It was like it was pathetic.

0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:51.200
<v Speaker 1>But fortunately the podcast is picked up and with Danny

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.360
<v Speaker 1>here and whatnot, we we've done very well. So thank

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.240
<v Speaker 1>you guys for sending questions. And I never have to

0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:57.279
<v Speaker 1>beg I have not had to beg in sometimes, so

0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:01.520
<v Speaker 1>I do appreciate that. First up is uh Danny in Nashville,

0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.080
<v Speaker 1>who writes in. He says, Hey, Ben and Danny g

0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:08.720
<v Speaker 1>real life work is a biach and my girlfriend is

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.280
<v Speaker 1>eight months pregnant, so I am not able to call

0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:14.800
<v Speaker 1>into the show, but I still listen to your guys shows,

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:18.680
<v Speaker 1>podcast all that stuff. What are your thoughts? Danny and

0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Nashville says on the trend of colleges like Alabama and

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:28.600
<v Speaker 1>Baylor signing G League professionals and they're immediately eligible, the

0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:34.760
<v Speaker 1>NCAA explicitly said the Alabama G League guy was not eligible,

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 1>but a Tuscaloosa Circuit judge, who is a six figure

0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 1>donor to the program, gave him a restraining order against

0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.600
<v Speaker 1>the NCAA. He is now allowed to play against Tennessee,

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 1>he said, And I guess I guess this already happened.

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:54.200
<v Speaker 1>What the f is going on? With college sports at

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.479
<v Speaker 1>this point. It's semi pro God bless, that's Danny. So

0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.320
<v Speaker 1>first of all, Danny and Nashville, where have you been.

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 1>It's been this way for a number of years. This

0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:04.719
<v Speaker 1>is not all of a sudden a new revelation from

0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.360
<v Speaker 1>college basketball nation. It's been this way for some time.

0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:11.200
<v Speaker 1>It is bizarre that they're letting G League guys play

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:16.160
<v Speaker 1>college basketball, although it's a logical step because what's the difference.

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 1>You're still paying them whether they went to the G

0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 1>League or not. Uh, And this is the way it is.

0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:27.200
<v Speaker 1>I hate Danny. The government meddling in this stuff. I

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 1>know that's where this is headed, and it's it's gonna

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>suck because there's gonna be it's bad now. But then

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:36.120
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna put a bunch of rules in that, you know,

0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:39.760
<v Speaker 1>be government oversight, and that's not gonna be any good either.

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:41.040
<v Speaker 1>So there's really not a great show.

0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.520
<v Speaker 3>I can't wait to hear Trump talk about this. I'm

0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 3>gonna have to fix this with all this nil stuff,

0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:57.560
<v Speaker 3>especially with college football kind of I'm gonna I'm gonna

0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.160
<v Speaker 3>be honest. I kind of liked it better when the

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:03.280
<v Speaker 3>deals were made in the shadows in the back alleys

0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:04.800
<v Speaker 3>with bags of cash.

0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Uh. Yeah, Well I always felt guilty watching because it

0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.120
<v Speaker 1>was so ridiculous when they that bull crab student athlete,

0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.960
<v Speaker 1>which was never really the case. It was all a

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.240
<v Speaker 1>bull crap. Uh. And then this is like the other extreme.

0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:20.200
<v Speaker 1>It's like you go from one wing of the plane

0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:21.560
<v Speaker 1>to the other wing of the plane. You're like, well,

0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:22.480
<v Speaker 1>I want to be in the middle of the plane.

0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:23.640
<v Speaker 1>I want to be on the right or the left wing.

0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.040
<v Speaker 1>I want to be in the middle. You can't be

0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:28.160
<v Speaker 1>in the middle. It does. It just feels dirty. Like

0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:30.840
<v Speaker 1>the guys that are transferring while they're on teams that

0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.880
<v Speaker 1>are playing for the championship. There are guys in entering

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 1>the portal. It just seems very odd. But here we

0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:41.480
<v Speaker 1>are so the guys that play, like the Mississippi old

0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:43.680
<v Speaker 1>miss quarterback who's played six years tried to get a

0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.199
<v Speaker 1>seventh year of eligibility. I don't know if he got it.

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:47.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he did.

0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:49.920
<v Speaker 3>That's the thing, Ben. The portal shouldn't be well that

0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.320
<v Speaker 3>school has ten million for me and you only have

0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:55.000
<v Speaker 3>five million for me. The portal should be for guys

0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:58.040
<v Speaker 3>who are backing up a star player and they get

0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 3>lost a little bit on the bench can have an

0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:03.960
<v Speaker 3>opportunity to start for another team. I think that that's

0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:05.240
<v Speaker 3>why it was put into place.

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Well whatever they whatever they decided it was for, is

0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.880
<v Speaker 1>not being used for that, and they should have a

0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.960
<v Speaker 1>clear window. Like to me, this is one thing I

0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.520
<v Speaker 1>would be on board. If you're a football player and

0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:19.840
<v Speaker 1>you're going to transfer, make sure it's after the National

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Championship game. It's kind of you know how that we

0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:24.080
<v Speaker 1>were kids in the World Series and then like the

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.280
<v Speaker 1>day after the World Series, one of the players would

0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:30.280
<v Speaker 1>get not released, but kind of put on like they

0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:32.040
<v Speaker 1>would announce certain players We're not gonna be on the

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 1>team because you have it within seven days of the

0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.640
<v Speaker 1>World after the World Series. But it's after the World

0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Series or after the like after the Super Bowl. Let's

0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.160
<v Speaker 1>say the Rams when and when they go to the

0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl. Well yeah, some of those guys will end

0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:47.520
<v Speaker 1>up getting put on what waivers or whatever after the game,

0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:51.240
<v Speaker 1>but not prior to the game. It just seems seems odd.

0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 1>So there will be government oversight. Danny and Nashville and

0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:56.599
<v Speaker 1>I like that you're all grown up. Danny used to

0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:58.000
<v Speaker 1>call the show back in the day, and he was

0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:01.200
<v Speaker 1>a kid. Now he's all grown up, he's got the girlfriends,

0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 1>about to pop out a kid, he's got a job

0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.439
<v Speaker 1>that he hates. So life is good. Danny in Nashville,

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:09.000
<v Speaker 1>you're living on adault life.

0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:11.920
<v Speaker 3>May the Lord be with you. I remember what it

0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:13.959
<v Speaker 3>was like when Brenda was eight months breaknant.

0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:16.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm good luck, Danny, good luck.

0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.320
<v Speaker 3>You know it's a blessing now, man, I love having

0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:22.120
<v Speaker 3>CoA in my life. But at the time and going

0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:25.240
<v Speaker 3>through a pregnancy with somebody, there were several times I

0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.360
<v Speaker 3>wanted to go for a pack of cigarettes. If you

0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.480
<v Speaker 3>know what I'm saying here, I hear you.

0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Ryan C from Shrewsbury, mass Writes and he said, hello boys,

0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:36.280
<v Speaker 1>It's been a while since I emailed you, but I

0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:39.280
<v Speaker 1>still listen to every episode and at least the last

0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.240
<v Speaker 1>half hour of the Overnight Show. My question this week

0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.440
<v Speaker 1>for both of you guys, first, been any updates on

0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.920
<v Speaker 1>coming to Worcester. I plan on making myself available whenever

0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:50.720
<v Speaker 1>that is. I would love to finally meet you and

0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:54.360
<v Speaker 1>everyone else as well. And Danny, you haven't been on

0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.040
<v Speaker 1>the pod lately. What's new and is everything all right

0:10:57.080 --> 0:11:00.880
<v Speaker 1>with you? Love hearing your stories Danny and noticed an

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:05.480
<v Speaker 1>apologies in advance of some me personal that's Ryan and Shrewsbury.

0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:08.880
<v Speaker 1>I'll go first, right, So I am going to be

0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.200
<v Speaker 1>coming to Worcester at some point this year, according to

0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:15.800
<v Speaker 1>the Leprechaun and our friend in New Hampshire, and we

0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:20.160
<v Speaker 1>haven't picked a date yet. The plan was to try

0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:23.160
<v Speaker 1>to get to a WU Socks game and throw out

0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 1>the first pitch. That was something that was big for

0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Masshole Mickey or Mikey rather, who passed away a couple

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.000
<v Speaker 1>of years. I guess it's been a couple of years now.

0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:37.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't have time fly, so we're looking at most

0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:43.160
<v Speaker 1>likely after maybe late April, early May, something along those lines.

0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm guessing it'll be sometime in May. I don't know.

0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:49.439
<v Speaker 1>It might not be then, it could be later on.

0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm waiting to hear back from the Leprechaun with some

0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:57.040
<v Speaker 1>possible dates. So that's that's the plan. We'll keep you

0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:01.360
<v Speaker 1>posting on that. Ryan and Dan here here you're juggling

0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of things right with the kid and Covino

0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:05.960
<v Speaker 1>and Rich and all that, So it's a lot going on.

0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:09.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, my schedule has been as you know, well, this

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:12.480
<v Speaker 3>has been an ongoing thing where not only am I

0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:16.880
<v Speaker 3>juggling Coveno and Rich and having a new kid and

0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:21.240
<v Speaker 3>all that, but also I think during the mailbag somebody

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:23.520
<v Speaker 3>asks a couple months back if I was going to

0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:26.920
<v Speaker 3>work for the school district again. The answer is yes.

0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:30.400
<v Speaker 3>I've been waking my ass up early every morning doing

0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:34.120
<v Speaker 3>a morning job, then going to the network doing that job,

0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:37.640
<v Speaker 3>and then doing podcasting on the weekend. So my schedule's

0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:41.440
<v Speaker 3>been you know, hey, it's radio, right, we have to

0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:45.679
<v Speaker 3>have like three or four bustles to survive in broadcasting.

0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.320
<v Speaker 3>If you want to live in southern California and you

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:50.800
<v Speaker 3>want to live well, you have to have at least

0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:51.760
<v Speaker 3>three jobs.

0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:54.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's a lot going on, And for me, I

0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.960
<v Speaker 1>do the overnight show and then I'll usually go out

0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:00.400
<v Speaker 1>and bang my head against the wall for about an hour,

0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:02.120
<v Speaker 1>and then I'll come back and record the podcast, like

0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:05.199
<v Speaker 1>on Fridays. That's usually how that goes. I'll just come

0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.320
<v Speaker 1>back and just start yapping away. But it's yeah, with

0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.120
<v Speaker 1>your schedule working in the morning, we usually record this

0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:16.280
<v Speaker 1>in the morning, so it's a logistical logistical issue there.

0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.079
<v Speaker 1>But you'll be as much as you can, right. We

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:19.520
<v Speaker 1>che to get you on as much as as we

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:20.720
<v Speaker 1>can get you on there, Yes.

0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:22.720
<v Speaker 3>Sir, And I'm going to be live from the super

0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:24.440
<v Speaker 3>Bowl again, just like last year.

0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we'll be. We'll be doing some podcasts from Radio

0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Row again. The Fifth Hour podcast will be live on

0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:36.680
<v Speaker 1>tape from Radio Row. I cannot wait. We had Emmett

0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.559
<v Speaker 1>Smith on, we had Adrian Peak on the path, we

0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.559
<v Speaker 1>had some big names just hanging out at Radio Row.

0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:45.800
<v Speaker 1>So I'm excited about that. Asking me be fun to.

0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.440
<v Speaker 3>Dude and Ben. With other parts of the country giving

0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.760
<v Speaker 3>like eleven feet of snow in two days, How lucky

0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:55.200
<v Speaker 3>are we this year that the Super bowls in California. Oh,

0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:55.760
<v Speaker 3>it's great.

0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.439
<v Speaker 1>It would have been nice though, if one of these

0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:02.520
<v Speaker 1>games played today was played in like a bank of snow,

0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:05.960
<v Speaker 1>that would have been awesome to watch, just not to

0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.800
<v Speaker 1>go to, but to watch. But yeah, I've already heard

0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:12.040
<v Speaker 1>from my friends in Boston that the Boston guys are

0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 1>complaining about the Super Bowl being in San Francisco because

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:21.520
<v Speaker 1>the logistics Radio Row is in downtown San Francisco, and

0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:26.840
<v Speaker 1>then the game and the festivities are at the stadium,

0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:30.520
<v Speaker 1>which is like an hour drive. So they're already complaining

0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Danny about that. They haven't even gotten there and they're

0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:34.880
<v Speaker 1>already complaining about the logistics of that.

0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 3>You'll love this because you have the cheap skate moves

0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:42.400

<v Speaker 1>Oh is that right? Okay? Where is next year's super Bowl?

0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Is it in La or.

<v Speaker 3>Is it at so far now Los Angeles.

0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.960
<v Speaker 1>I'll definitely bet that one. All right, all right, well,

0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:01.200
<v Speaker 1>not at.

0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:04.360
<v Speaker 3>The game maybe maybe this year. This year for you, girl,

0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:06.640
<v Speaker 3>I got the super Bowl party.

0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we're going. We're gonna watch the gay Yeah. Scott

0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:13.640
<v Speaker 1>from Florida writes in he says, Hey, Ben and Danny,

0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:17.040
<v Speaker 1>you had a game show caller named Scott on the

0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Wednesday show. You kept saying Scott obviously, and it hurt

0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:25.600
<v Speaker 1>my my hearing. I hurt my ears to hear the

0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:28.680
<v Speaker 1>name because he was such a bad caller. It made

0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:32.120
<v Speaker 1>me wonder, who is the worst Ben or Danny in

0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:34.960
<v Speaker 1>the world. You know, the type of person with whom

0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:38.400
<v Speaker 1>you are just disappointed that you share a name with

0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:44.120
<v Speaker 1>them that is Scott So. Yeah. I don't really thought

0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:49.480
<v Speaker 1>about it. There's not too many people named Ben, so

0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't have that many options. There's many more people

0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:53.240
<v Speaker 1>named Dan or Danny.

0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:57.040

<v Speaker 3>for years in Seattle.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah he did. He did show in l A too,

0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:11.080

0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:59.199
<v Speaker 1>old Dan Quayle, the Vice President of the United States.

0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:02.639
<v Speaker 3>Sure really smart. He was known for being a high

0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:05.920
<v Speaker 3>iq politician, exactly exactly.

0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, who's the most embarrassing Dan? Though, I don't there's

0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:12.440
<v Speaker 1>some Dan Marino was awesome back in the day.

0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:14.240
<v Speaker 3>He's old, but he was great. Now.

0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:19.280
<v Speaker 1>That's not embarrassing. The greatest cartoon voiceover guy Dan Castellanata

0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Homer Simpson, that's a Dan. I don't think of any

0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:24.800
<v Speaker 1>bad dance.

0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:25.800
<v Speaker 3>Any embarrassing ones.

0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't. All right, thank you, Scott. Yeah, you

0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:31.639
<v Speaker 1>created some podcast conversation for that.

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:33.440
<v Speaker 3>We're great. Shouts out to Danny DeVito.

0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:39.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all right. Legend Alf from the bomb cyclone hitting

0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:43.440
<v Speaker 1>the eastern Seaboards has greetings from the snowy Bay State Chairman.

0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:47.560
<v Speaker 1>If you live in an area of the country that

0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:52.399
<v Speaker 1>had a snowy winter, would you shovel your property yourself

0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:54.560
<v Speaker 1>or would you hire someone to take care of it?

0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:57.520
<v Speaker 1>That's from Alf. What I would do is hire. I

0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:01.080
<v Speaker 1>would buy one of those really nice snowblowers, and I

0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:03.600
<v Speaker 1>think that would be fun. I don't know that I

0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:08.520
<v Speaker 1>want to hold a shovel like it's seventeen thirty seven,

0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:10.600
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying. If I could get a

0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:13.720
<v Speaker 1>nice snow I would I would do that. In fact,

0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:16.720
<v Speaker 1>that could be a good hustle, Danny during the snow

0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:19.440
<v Speaker 1>time you were, and we have guys that call the

0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:22.480
<v Speaker 1>overnight show that are seasonal workers that drive the snowplow

0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:25.000
<v Speaker 1>trucks and they're out there hustling. But I'm saying, just

0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:28.200
<v Speaker 1>cleaning people's property of snow, that would be a nice

0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:30.600
<v Speaker 1>little extra hustle for you. I mean, paid a decent

0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:32.080
<v Speaker 1>amount of money for doing that, I would think. But

0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I would not use a shovel, alf. I would buy

0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:38.240
<v Speaker 1>one of those cool snowblower things at home, deeper or

0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:41.600
<v Speaker 1>lows or whatever, and that would be my move. So

0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:43.159
<v Speaker 1>what about you, Danny.

0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:45.720
<v Speaker 3>I would hire some dumb kid from down the street.

0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:48.399
<v Speaker 1>Some dumb dumb dumb dumdumb dumb dumb.

0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:52.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I probably wouldn't be that dumb because me and

0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:55.440
<v Speaker 3>ten other neighbors. It's a hustle right there.

0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Uh. Fer Dog in Fullerton rights and he says,

0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:02.359
<v Speaker 1>happy Conference championsh Sunday, Ben and Danny g Just like

0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:05.119
<v Speaker 1>nine years ago when the Clippers were on top of

0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:08.160
<v Speaker 1>the Lakers and the Bus family were a mess, all

0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:10.760
<v Speaker 1>is right in the world once again. You love to

0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:14.760
<v Speaker 1>see it. As a fan of the people's team, Who

0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:18.040
<v Speaker 1>do you think got more of a raw deal. Roberto

0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:21.080
<v Speaker 1>the bus driver who paid a king's ransom for Dodgers

0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:26.879
<v Speaker 1>World Series tickets to watch the Astros, or poor a

0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:30.399
<v Speaker 1>little Justin Cooper who flew halfway across the country to

0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:33.480
<v Speaker 1>watch the Broncos win just to learn his starting quarterback

0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:35.760
<v Speaker 1>is out for the rest of the playoffs immediately after

0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:41.560
<v Speaker 1>the game. And yeah, that stuff. Can I get a copy,

0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:44.719
<v Speaker 1>he says, of Lucky Tony's rendition of It's a hard

0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Knock Life. It's the best thing I've heard in my life,

0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:53.439
<v Speaker 1>says Fergdug. So Ferg's a big fan of that. I

0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:56.920
<v Speaker 1>like Lucky Tony singing the other song, which is much shorter,

0:20:57.200 --> 0:21:00.080
<v Speaker 1>for he's a jolly good fellow, which nobody can.

0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:03.200
<v Speaker 3>And then yeah, shorter is better with him.

0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, so uh, I don't know who got it was.

0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:10.000
<v Speaker 1>I feel bad for Roberto because that was that was

0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:14.280
<v Speaker 1>just the Astros cheated and it was bull crap and

0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:17.600
<v Speaker 1>they baseball has no balls and they didn't take the

0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:20.720
<v Speaker 1>thing away, So I that one. I know he didn't

0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:24.840
<v Speaker 1>travel across by the way, is Denver halfway across the country, Danny,

0:21:24.840 --> 0:21:28.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it is right. No, here's I looked

0:21:28.080 --> 0:21:30.920
<v Speaker 1>it up just because for I was curious, what's halfway

0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:34.560
<v Speaker 1>across the country. So halfway between LA where we do

0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:41.520
<v Speaker 1>the show from in Boston. The halfway point, Danny is Lincoln,

0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Lancaster County, Nebraska. So wow, Lincoln, Nebraska where the Cornhuskers plays.

0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:54.239
<v Speaker 1>Halfway between LA and Boston, it would it's fourteen one

0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:56.600
<v Speaker 1>hundred and ninety four miles, so one thousand, four hundred

0:21:56.680 --> 0:21:58.919
<v Speaker 1>ninety four miles from LA, and it's one thousand, four

0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:03.800
<v Speaker 1>hundred and ninety two miles from Boston. So that's there's

0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:05.680
<v Speaker 1>a fun that's a fun fact, Danny. That's a that's

0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:06.040
<v Speaker 1>a fun.

0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:08.119
<v Speaker 3>That's good. That's good bar trivia.

0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:09.920
<v Speaker 1>There you go, all right?

0:22:10.080 --> 0:22:10.199
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:22:10.359 --> 0:22:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Lucky Tony, speaking of the Devil as email shall appear, says,

0:22:13.440 --> 0:22:15.840
<v Speaker 1>hey been in Danny g for five years. I've been

0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:19.480
<v Speaker 1>hearing Tom Looney being reverenced as a schmuck, and then

0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:22.040
<v Speaker 1>I see him on Benny Versus the Penny. He seems

0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:25.080
<v Speaker 1>all right, what am I missing? And is another Mike

0:22:25.200 --> 0:22:27.119
<v Speaker 1>North appearance coming soon? I would love to hear his

0:22:27.200 --> 0:22:32.119
<v Speaker 1>thoughts on the Bears season bars signed, Lucky Tony, I

0:22:32.160 --> 0:22:37.720
<v Speaker 1>do another appealing Looney's an asshole. Yeah, I don't. I

0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:40.399
<v Speaker 1>don't know about that. I mean Looney, Uh, Loudey's a character,

0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Luonny's Loudy's I've always got a well, I've known Looney

0:22:43.040 --> 0:22:45.919
<v Speaker 1>for a long time. He goes way back uh Loony

0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:49.639
<v Speaker 1>Tunes and he's uh, he's a big personality guy, big talker,

0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:52.240
<v Speaker 1>that whole thing. You know, he's got that going for him.

0:22:52.280 --> 0:22:56.000
<v Speaker 3>So Looney, he's a he's a very nice guy. Yeah,

0:22:56.040 --> 0:22:58.040
<v Speaker 3>but I also worked with him. And when I worked

0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:00.520
<v Speaker 3>with him, I found out really quick that he was

0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:03.120
<v Speaker 3>always the smartest guy in the room.

0:23:03.440 --> 0:23:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Well, he has the answer to everything. It's great. You

0:23:05.600 --> 0:23:08.720
<v Speaker 1>should never take real estate advice from Tom Looney ever.

0:23:09.400 --> 0:23:09.680
<v Speaker 3>Ever.

0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:12.639
<v Speaker 1>Ever, I am still dealing with the fallout from that

0:23:12.640 --> 0:23:15.960
<v Speaker 1>that goes back now eighteen years, a decision that I

0:23:16.000 --> 0:23:21.080
<v Speaker 1>still regret to this day. And also personnel moves he'll

0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:23.920
<v Speaker 1>recommend certain people. The thing about Looney is he's your

0:23:23.920 --> 0:23:28.159
<v Speaker 1>typical LA guy, lucky Tony. He loves celebrity. I don't

0:23:28.240 --> 0:23:31.600
<v Speaker 1>really get that worked up by famous people. I don't

0:23:31.680 --> 0:23:34.359
<v Speaker 1>hate them, I just don't really. It doesn't do anything

0:23:34.359 --> 0:23:37.000
<v Speaker 1>for me because they're just normal people. When you pull

0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:38.960
<v Speaker 1>back all that stuff. But Looney loves celebrity.

0:23:39.520 --> 0:23:42.040
<v Speaker 3>You are more excited by costco samples.

0:23:42.440 --> 0:23:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I'm excited about meeting the people that are

0:23:44.880 --> 0:23:47.800
<v Speaker 1>like famous in our show or whatever. But Looney, he

0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:51.320
<v Speaker 1>loves celebrities. He would go to the Whole Foods down

0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:55.399
<v Speaker 1>the street from the radio station in Sherman Oaks because

0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:57.280
<v Speaker 1>that's where all the celebrities would shop. They live up

0:23:57.320 --> 0:23:59.000
<v Speaker 1>in bel Air and they'd come down and shop for

0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:01.639
<v Speaker 1>their tomatoes or whatever. And Looney, oh yeah, I ran

0:24:01.680 --> 0:24:04.600
<v Speaker 1>into this back when Keith Jackson, the voice of college football,

0:24:04.640 --> 0:24:07.080
<v Speaker 1>was alive. I ran it to Keith Jackson. He was

0:24:07.080 --> 0:24:10.040
<v Speaker 1>buying tomatoes, and then Looney would tell some story about

0:24:10.080 --> 0:24:12.440
<v Speaker 1>how you like, pretended like he was Keith Jackson doing

0:24:12.440 --> 0:24:16.440
<v Speaker 1>play by play as Keith as Keith was picking tomatoes

0:24:16.480 --> 0:24:19.600
<v Speaker 1>out stuff like that. He's not a bad guy. He's

0:24:19.640 --> 0:24:22.480
<v Speaker 1>an interesting character. That's all character.

0:24:22.560 --> 0:24:25.359
<v Speaker 3>And he was very talented at doing updates and playing

0:24:25.480 --> 0:24:28.840
<v Speaker 3>drops and sound effects and all that. I miss his updates.

0:24:28.920 --> 0:24:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, he's updates. We you know, he's great. He

0:24:30.880 --> 0:24:32.440
<v Speaker 1>was great. I mean, there's a lot of people this

0:24:32.600 --> 0:24:34.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of coast. It's unfortunate they don't really put a

0:24:34.720 --> 0:24:36.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of work into it. They treat it like they're

0:24:36.680 --> 0:24:39.120
<v Speaker 1>working at the DMV, which is disappointing, you know, because

0:24:39.160 --> 0:24:41.720
<v Speaker 1>I think we're a couple of old radio guys, right, Danny,

0:24:41.760 --> 0:24:43.040
<v Speaker 1>I think you should take advantage that.

0:24:43.160 --> 0:24:43.480
<v Speaker 3>You should.

0:24:43.520 --> 0:24:44.040
<v Speaker 1>You should try.

0:24:44.119 --> 0:24:47.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh dude, I always appreciated his creativity on the air.

0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:50.879
<v Speaker 1>It does blow me away the amount of people that

0:24:51.040 --> 0:24:54.520
<v Speaker 1>just don't value that, like Looney always made it his

0:24:54.600 --> 0:24:59.880
<v Speaker 1>masterpiece and you should. And the people not naming any

0:25:00.119 --> 0:25:01.760
<v Speaker 1>there's some people who just don't give a crap and

0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:05.359
<v Speaker 1>you can tell by their work. It sucks. Kwang writes

0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:09.000
<v Speaker 1>in from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, A regular, he says,

0:25:09.040 --> 0:25:14.320
<v Speaker 1>guaranteed human Big Ben and Daddy G Radio a future

0:25:14.400 --> 0:25:19.560
<v Speaker 1>topic of Baby Coa's Animal Thunderdome. A bloodhound can smell

0:25:19.560 --> 0:25:23.399
<v Speaker 1>a human from two hundred yards, a wolf from one mile,

0:25:23.960 --> 0:25:26.880
<v Speaker 1>a bear from three miles, and a polar bear from

0:25:27.000 --> 0:25:31.119
<v Speaker 1>nine miles. Then he says, how far a head start

0:25:31.200 --> 0:25:34.760
<v Speaker 1>would you need to get to safety? That's from Quang

0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:37.439
<v Speaker 1>so I guess, Danny here, you're the Animal Thunderdome guy,

0:25:37.560 --> 0:25:40.160
<v Speaker 1>So how far would you have to be to get

0:25:40.200 --> 0:25:43.119
<v Speaker 1>to safety? If a bloodhound can smell a human from

0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:45.600
<v Speaker 1>two hundred yards, a wolf from one mile, and a

0:25:45.640 --> 0:25:48.080
<v Speaker 1>bear from three miles, and a polar bear from nine miles.

0:25:48.680 --> 0:25:50.360
<v Speaker 1>What would the answer be, Danny, what do you think?

0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:53.879
<v Speaker 3>And I wish I could tell you. Since I don't

0:25:53.960 --> 0:25:57.520
<v Speaker 3>do this Animal Thunderdome podcast, I have no answer. As

0:25:57.560 --> 0:26:00.359
<v Speaker 3>soon as that podcast begins, though, I will. I'll be

0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:02.320
<v Speaker 3>like Looney and have the answers to everything.

0:26:02.680 --> 0:26:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, cour well, Cole.

0:26:04.320 --> 0:26:04.879
<v Speaker 3>Is going to be doing it.

0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:06.240
<v Speaker 1>You'll be too old.

0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:09.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's his department. Bro. In fact, lay Travis has

0:26:10.000 --> 0:26:14.359
<v Speaker 3>sent me three animal Thunderdome stories in the past two weeks.

0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:17.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure that'll solve it. Why are you sending me

0:26:17.600 --> 0:26:20.440
<v Speaker 3>these stories? I have no idea, but I am currently

0:26:20.640 --> 0:26:22.160
<v Speaker 3>archiving them for CoA.

0:26:22.640 --> 0:26:25.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah that's good, will be classic stories. Well, he can

0:26:26.000 --> 0:26:28.560
<v Speaker 1>do a classic Thunderdome. You can go back.

0:26:28.880 --> 0:26:31.840
<v Speaker 3>It's throw Back Thursday. I'm a Thunderdome. Let's go to

0:26:31.920 --> 0:26:34.000
<v Speaker 3>one of my dad's computer files.

0:26:34.400 --> 0:26:35.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what's a computer.

0:26:35.920 --> 0:26:36.320
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:26:36.680 --> 0:26:39.120
<v Speaker 1>You don't use it, so we download them to our

0:26:39.160 --> 0:26:43.360
<v Speaker 1>heads as what we did, Kwang and I would say

0:26:43.400 --> 0:26:46.760
<v Speaker 1>ten miles because you said the longest distance is nine miles,

0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:49.280
<v Speaker 1>so then if you're ten miles away, you could get

0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:51.679
<v Speaker 1>to safety. I guess I don't know. I'll do a

0:26:51.680 --> 0:26:54.840
<v Speaker 1>couple more and get out. We have Reggie from Detroit.

0:26:54.960 --> 0:26:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Good to see Reggie's name in the email bag. He says,

0:26:58.520 --> 0:27:01.119
<v Speaker 1>there's a new study that says kids are trying to

0:27:01.200 --> 0:27:05.800
<v Speaker 1>use books like phones in class. And then he says, guys,

0:27:06.080 --> 0:27:10.520
<v Speaker 1>how could this possibly be true? That's Reggie from Detroit

0:27:10.600 --> 0:27:12.480
<v Speaker 1>and he sent me a story here Dan. It says

0:27:12.520 --> 0:27:16.760
<v Speaker 1>nearly a third of children our starting school unable to

0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:21.480
<v Speaker 1>use books properly, with some trying to swipe pages as

0:27:21.520 --> 0:27:24.480
<v Speaker 1>if they were smartphones or tablets.

0:27:24.520 --> 0:27:32.160
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, hey, Ben, I believe this. I totally

0:27:32.640 --> 0:27:35.800
<v Speaker 3>totally believe this because working at the middle school in

0:27:35.840 --> 0:27:38.480
<v Speaker 3>the morning, I am around these kids every day. Now,

0:27:39.040 --> 0:27:43.680
<v Speaker 3>the girls lately have been wearing ed Hardy sweats hold

0:27:43.840 --> 0:27:47.679
<v Speaker 3>down on their butts. No, no, And you remember that

0:27:47.920 --> 0:27:48.960
<v Speaker 3>ed Hardy brand.

0:27:49.440 --> 0:27:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:27:50.080 --> 0:27:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. These kids don't know anything about the past. You

0:27:54.119 --> 0:27:55.800
<v Speaker 3>don't know anything about the future.

0:27:56.880 --> 0:28:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that is that's how far back is that? That's

0:28:01.200 --> 0:28:03.000
<v Speaker 1>like twenty years at least, right.

0:28:04.240 --> 0:28:06.760
<v Speaker 3>Two thousand and six, two thousand and seven, it says

0:28:06.880 --> 0:28:10.000
<v Speaker 3>is when ed Hardy reached its peak. So I was

0:28:10.040 --> 0:28:13.119
<v Speaker 3>early wearing it before then, but two thousand and six

0:28:13.160 --> 0:28:17.200
<v Speaker 3>it reached its peak, so exactly twenty years Bam ben mallar.

0:28:17.320 --> 0:28:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Right, Well, I didn't didn't wear it, so I just guessed.

0:28:20.080 --> 0:28:21.760
<v Speaker 1>I blindly guessed and I got it right.

0:28:21.760 --> 0:28:24.040
<v Speaker 3>No, no shit, you didn't wear that. They don't sell

0:28:24.040 --> 0:28:24.720
<v Speaker 3>that at Costco.

0:28:26.800 --> 0:28:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I'll sell my size easither. I think this guy's in Atlanta.

0:28:31.240 --> 0:28:31.719
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:28:32.040 --> 0:28:33.760
<v Speaker 1>He didn't give a city because he's an idiot. He

0:28:34.160 --> 0:28:36.080
<v Speaker 1>sent me this story. I sent this to Rob Parker

0:28:36.160 --> 0:28:40.320
<v Speaker 1>right away. There's Georgia. Lawmakers have introduced a bill that

0:28:40.400 --> 0:28:44.120
<v Speaker 1>will make lemon pepper the official chicken wing flavor in

0:28:44.200 --> 0:28:47.000
<v Speaker 1>the state of Georgia. And of course Rob Parker legendary

0:28:47.520 --> 0:28:53.080
<v Speaker 1>for going to the was it Magic City? Oh yeah, Atlanta,

0:28:53.280 --> 0:28:57.959
<v Speaker 1>this famous strip club, and remember Lou Williams, Sweet Lou

0:28:58.280 --> 0:29:01.360
<v Speaker 1>left the bubble to go get a chicken wings at

0:29:01.480 --> 0:29:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Magic City, the lemon pepper chicken wings. So it's appropriate

0:29:04.760 --> 0:29:07.440
<v Speaker 1>that that would be the flavor. Now, my wife claims

0:29:07.440 --> 0:29:10.360
<v Speaker 1>that that's just the most popular chicken wing flavor anyway,

0:29:10.480 --> 0:29:13.040
<v Speaker 1>not just in Georgia. Do you think that's true, Danny,

0:29:13.160 --> 0:29:15.680
<v Speaker 1>you think that's an accurate statement?

0:29:16.080 --> 0:29:16.520
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:29:16.600 --> 0:29:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:29:18.120 --> 0:29:20.040
<v Speaker 3>In my house, it's honey barbecue.

0:29:20.400 --> 0:29:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I think honey barbecue's more nationally more popular than

0:29:25.200 --> 0:29:25.960
<v Speaker 1>lemon pepper.

0:29:26.440 --> 0:29:29.560
<v Speaker 3>I would agree. I think lemon pepper maybe is third

0:29:29.680 --> 0:29:37.320
<v Speaker 3>after traditional buffalo. Yeah. I would go honey barbecue, traditional buffalo,

0:29:37.360 --> 0:29:39.480
<v Speaker 3>and then Lou Sweet Lou.

0:29:40.200 --> 0:29:42.600
<v Speaker 1>I did send that story to our friend Rob Parker,

0:29:42.880 --> 0:29:46.480
<v Speaker 1>and he did. He said he would approve that, so

0:29:46.600 --> 0:29:51.120
<v Speaker 1>he gave the old fun You gotta have the bones, dude.

0:29:51.120 --> 0:29:53.880
<v Speaker 3>He loves Magic City so much that every Monday on

0:29:53.960 --> 0:29:57.520
<v Speaker 3>their show The Odd Couple, they call it Magic City Monday.

0:29:57.880 --> 0:29:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh, free advertising for.

0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:02.360
<v Speaker 3>And they play stripper music as they're bumps.

<v Speaker 1>Steelers hiring a new coach. I will have a mini

0:30:30.160 --> 0:30:34.240

0:30:34.640 --> 0:30:37.680
<v Speaker 1>so happy, hired a new coach, Mike McCarthy. They did

0:30:37.720 --> 0:30:41.120
<v Speaker 1>it on a Saturday news dump when most people are

0:30:41.120 --> 0:30:43.320
<v Speaker 1>not really paying attention and locked in on that, which

0:30:43.360 --> 0:30:45.960
<v Speaker 1>tells you the Steelers, No, that's not a popular hire.

0:30:46.360 --> 0:30:48.280
<v Speaker 1>That's why on a Saturday.

0:30:48.760 --> 0:30:50.720
<v Speaker 3>So and have you ever seen the meme of the

0:30:50.840 --> 0:30:54.320
<v Speaker 3>old guy that gets a shirt as a Christmas gift

0:30:54.360 --> 0:30:56.680
<v Speaker 3>and he's holding it up and it's the same exact

0:30:56.720 --> 0:30:58.120
<v Speaker 3>shirt as the one he's wearing.

0:30:58.600 --> 0:31:01.239
<v Speaker 1>Are you saying that the new guys the same as

0:31:01.280 --> 0:31:05.080

<v Speaker 3>sideways move though? It seems like a move down the ladder?

0:31:20.680 --> 0:31:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's like Mike Tomlin without the personality. I mean,

0:31:24.000 --> 0:31:27.000
<v Speaker 1>so it's like, so, what are you doing? At least

0:31:27.040 --> 0:31:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Tomlin is a good sound. McCarthy's not even it's just

0:31:30.160 --> 0:31:33.960
<v Speaker 1>a goofball. He must be one hell of an interviewer.

0:31:34.440 --> 0:31:38.720
<v Speaker 1>He has gotten the three great jobs, the Green Bay job,

0:31:38.840 --> 0:31:41.520
