One of my favorite stories, the hijacking, 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:04.960 the air piracy, the skydiving. That story Nutso they never 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:08.080 found out who dB Cooper was. He's probably long dead. 0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:11.640 Look it up, just google it, just google it. But 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:16.560 it is our Sunday mail bag, Dan, you know what 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:34.280 that means, ohiool, it's the bail bag, all right, thank 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:37.759 you very much, Ohio.

We don't normally do 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:45.000 sporty questions on the mail bag, which is nothing like 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:48.800 ask Ben. This is totally different.

All letters, 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:06.600 no numbers, And the first one up comes from Stevo. 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.720 Steve lives in Ohio. He did not say what city, 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:13.120 so I guess he's representing the entire state of Ohio. 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.880 He says, guys, are you going to be flying Delta 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:21.760 more now that they've announced they're upgrade in menu? And 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:26.120 so STEVEO sent a story here Danny that Delta is 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:32.200 going to be serving shakeshack Burgers on flights. I have 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.720 to rain all over this parade. Okay, let me know, 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:36.359 go ahead. 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.680 This seemed like a great headline. In fact, I shared 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.440 it with Covino and Rich a few days ago so 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:44.160 they could talk about it on the air, and they 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:47.680 were excited until I opened up the story and read 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.799 that this is only going to be available to first 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.440 class seats bullshit. 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:55.880 Oh well, who cares about that? 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.440 Exactly where we get to sit in first class? So 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:00.680 you Delta, screw you. 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:02.519 You don't need that, And probably the burgers will be 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:06.960 soggy anyway. And let's be honest. Here, you eat a burger, 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:10.000 you gotta have some fries. And I'm guessing Steve, oh, 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.000 they don't have fries on a plane. They don't have 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:15.760 a deep fryer on a Delta plane. They'll probably reheat 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:19.639 fries too. Oh you know how bad burgers are reheated. 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:23.639 Like in Oh yeah, it's like those slimy, wimpy soy 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:24.880 gas station burgers. 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:29.080 Said terrible. Oh that's so bad. I don't want know, 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.640 so Steve O, I'm not gonna be flying. I actually 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:33.799 do fly Delta a lot, just because we have like 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:37.880 a credit card that gets us Delta, but supposedly some 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.520 points of that, but I I'm not flying for a 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:44.880 shake shack. I for years never ate on planes because 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:46.920 I was always worried about having to the bathroom. One place, 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:48.760 I've lost enough weight where I can go to the 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:50.600 bathroom when a plane is not a big issue. But 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.040 I still in the back of my head, Danny I'm like, 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:54.640 I don't want to eat on a plane, you know, 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:56.520 I want to go to the bathroom. I one time 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:59.720 had a uti Danny and I had to go to 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.280 the back like seven times on a flight back from 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:04.000 all it was from New York. 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.160 I was lying back, that's gotta be one of the 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.160 worst things you can have on an airplane. 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:10.800 Oh, it was such a nightmare. Everyone's looking at me. 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:12.520 It was this gonna keep going to the bathroom. Is 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.920 she doing drugs? What's she doing? What was he going to? 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:16.440 And I was like, well, I didn't want to let 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:18.159 people know, but I had. I mean, I had to go. 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:19.479 It was terrible. 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.719 Yeah, I've only had gonna rhea on a plane. 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:27.440 Well, understandable. But you joined the mile high club, so 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:31.440 it was worth it? Why not? All right? Kevin writes 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.479 in He says, Ben, are you going to be buying 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:40.400 this for Danny for for Christmas? And it is a 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:46.920 item from Pizza Hut. It's a pizza warming video game 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:53.039 console attachment. You can warm your pizza on your PlayStation. Danny. 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.000 I don't think you're I think you're you've aged out 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.040 of PlayStation. Is that accurate? Danny? You're not doing the 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:58.040 PlayStation anymore. 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:02.599 I have a PS four at home and I don't 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:04.080 think i've turned it on in a year. 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:05.160 Oh is that right? 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:07.480 Okay, yeah, yeah, it sits there and collects dust. 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.640 So you probably don't need a pizza warmer. You probably 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.080 don't need to know. Fair enough on that, I got you, 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:13.760 all right. 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.480 Well I do like I mean, I did like playing Madden. 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:19.240 But man, when you've got a kid, a little kid especially, 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:21.400 there's no time to play video games. 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:23.960 I pointed this out back on the Friday podcast. These 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:29.680 restaurants have and it's not that deep, but they figured 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:33.280 out ways for money grabs. KFC started this, right, They 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.760 came up with like the weird items, the KFC items. McDonald's. 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:39.159 We told the story on Friday about McDonald's with the 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:42.440 McRib sauce. For twenty bucks. You can buy a gallon 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.680 of McRib sauce and it's just like prap you don't 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:47.960 really need, but you know you can sell like you 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:50.560 know people will buy it. You realize that people will 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.440 buy it, and you make a lot of money on it. 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.640 And now Pizza Out, I guess is getting in on that. 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:59.120 So so good for them, Kevin and Kansas, right, Sysys 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:02.760 dear Ben and Danny. She've noticed that stores are selling 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:07.520 and radio TV advertising the boxes of emergency food supplies. 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:11.480 They offer thirty day supplies of food packs with tasty 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:14.840 varieties that have two thousand calories a day for you. 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:17.280 They claim to have a twenty five year shelf life. 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.880 Do either of you own these? What are your thoughts 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.000 if we get to that point, is it just time 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:28.440 to give up from Kevin? Kevin's the old teacher who's 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:32.880 no longer teaching because he's enjoying his life and all that. Yeah. 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:36.320 I don't know about you, Danny, but my mom always 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:40.320 had she was always prepared for nuclear war because of 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.360 how old she was, and she grew up with the 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:46.080 to the Cold War, if you will, so she was 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:50.000 always prepared for battle. And she had parents that were 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:53.000 in the depression, so she kept like a million rolls 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.840 of toilet paper. She was ready for COVID. Unfortunately she 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:58.200 died before COVID, but she had all the water and 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:01.680 all the toilet paper and the disinfect and all that. 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.760 But I'm more of the mindset, and I don't know 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:07.719 about you. I'm more of the mindset if there is 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.679 a nuclear bomb that goes off if you've read about 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.720 what happens, you're done, you know, and I don't care. 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.920 If you've got twenty five years supply of food, that's it. 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:20.280 You know, your life is pretty much toast at that 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.440 point when you get the text message that says, hey, 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:27.640 by the way, we're going to we're going to have nukes. 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:31.200 Remember in Hawaii got those messages in missiles inbound? You 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:34.880 know shelf Oh yeah, yeah, that's what's gonna happen like 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:37.680 that if there is, and we hope, you know, it 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:40.440 will never happen. Hopefully people you know around the world 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.520 will realize this, even you know, the death spots and everything. 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:45.800 But if it ever happens, we're gonna get a text 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:49.200 message on our phone say, hey, missiles inbound, this is 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.120 not a test blah blah blah blah, but you're gonna 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:55.680 go get your your pack of beans or whatever. I 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.160 don't even know what this stuff is, but uh, yeah, 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:00.320 I'm good. I have seen it at Costco though we 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.200 talked about that. I think a while back that we've 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:04.720 seen these things at Costco. Danny, where are you at 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:09.000 on these emergency rations? These rations? 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:13.200 Yeah, we barely can keep our cupboards and refrigerator full. 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.440 We're not rolling in dough to have all these extra 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:20.120 supplies in the garage. Ben Normally on my to do 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:23.240 list it's stop at Target. We really need toilet paper. 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:26.200 We're out of water again. So you think I have 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:28.320 extra crap like that in my garage. 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.720 Yeah, no, no, I hear you. And yeah, we usually 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:33.720 go to the store too on the weekend. We don't 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.000 plan out much. We're like, all right, what do we 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.520 need for the next couple of days. Let's just go 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.640 to Let's go to Walmart or wherever and grab some 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:44.840 crap Brett from Dallas, right, Sinny says Ben. I heard 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:48.079 the old update playing during the overnight show. What was 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:56.920 it like in studio when that happened? Something outdated? Was said? Well, 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:02.120 I guess the podcast we can talk about mistakes have happened. Yeah, so, 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.560 as you know, we we no longer work with our 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.800 friend Eddie, who was so great for so many years 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.439 at Fox Sports Radio. My lips have been on it. 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:16.040 The company has decided to put recorded updates at night, 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:19.840 not live updates overnight. That's their decision. Fine, whatever, they 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:24.559 they're the bosses. So the night update person records a 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:29.199 couple updates before they leave and then that's it. Well, unfortunately, 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:33.440 there was a snaff oo, a boondoggle the other day. 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:39.520 There was some confusion in the system and the update 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:46.160 from the previous day played in our two Yeah. Yeah, 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.360 so I and Brett picked up on it because what 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:51.880 I said, Danny, I believe I said on the air, 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.960 it doesn't get any fresher than that. You know, we 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:58.160 want those we want those fresh scores. And I was like, 0:09:58.280 --> 0:09:59.640 I just want to make sure you knew the scores 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:04.120 from yeah, yesterday. Oh there was there to answer your question, Brett. 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.360 I heard immediately because it was a different voice. It 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:08.920 was the the update person. It was Martin Weiss, who 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:09.920 was there the day before. 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:13.040 Oh my gosh. 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:16.680 Yeah. But so was this the opposite then of Games 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:21.040 of Note? Yes, this, well this was Games of Yeah. 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:22.560 What would you call that? I don't know what you'd 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:28.920 phrase that, Yeah, rancid, moldy games? I mean yeah, yeah. 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:32.120 Is there anything more useless than a two day old 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:35.120 sports update? You know what I'm saying. It's like a 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:37.760 little tough, But yeah, that was awkward. There were a 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.320 lot of looks, There was a lot of finger pointing. 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.440 There was hey, this is somebody else screwed up, you 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:44.240 know that guy. I don't know. 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:46.800 I'm sure there's gonna be a few bumps in the 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:51.200 road until we all, you know, get settled into the 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:54.600 new surroundings, which is less people working with us. 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:58.000 I mean, that's just the reality. It's you know, it's 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.360 you got to adjust. It's been an adjust been for 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:04.280 me without Eddie. You know, I've had some nights where 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.640 I'm pretty much on an island. I'm living the island 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:10.000 life myself there for whatever reason. So we don't need 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.720 to get into all that. But it's been an adjustment. 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.280 And you know, I worked with Eddie for a long 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:17.959 time and I've but I had many years in radio 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.880 before Eddie. And hopefully Eddie will be back on the 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:22.560 show at some point, but there's no guarantee on that. 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:25.440 Barry in South Carolina Rights and he says, Yo, yo, Ma, Benny. 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:29.240 With Eddie's departure, what changes, if any, are you considering 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:33.360 for the games? Yeah, so, Barry, we have thought about that. 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:34.840 I talked about on the air, as you know, and 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:36.760 I met you Barry back in the day in Charleston. 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:41.960 And my position on the Games, I'd like to keep 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.360 the Games we have, but I realized with Lorraina there 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:49.120 like the sporty games, she's not She's not sporty, which 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:51.280 is fine. You know, she's good at her job, but 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.640 she's not sporty. So we were thinking about changing it 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:56.680 up and kind of getting more away from the sports 0:11:56.679 --> 0:12:00.680 we do to the game that we did the other day, 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.120 which we do every week. What's it called? I forget 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:07.880 the the the Malard Militia feud and somebody, I think 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:10.240 it was blind Scott emailed me and said, bring back 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:13.640 the spelling Bee. And I don't know that we're going 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:15.800 to do that. That was a disaster. Well you with me, 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:17.200 I don't know if you were. It was a long 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.120 time ago. I did a spelling Bee and I realized 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:24.480 how terrible spelling is for many people and how bad 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.520 it is. So we're fussing around Berry. I'm looking at 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.040 different games that we could play and trying to figure 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:34.400 something out. But yeah, I have not nothing really has 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:36.960 stuck with me that I really want to do. So 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.360 I'm not at that point where I'm like all in 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:42.680 on anything. It's really got to pop to me. So 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:44.600 right now it's pretty much if you want to play 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:46.600 the game, there's a sporty game you gotta play with 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:50.839 either me or Coop, because Lorraine is not the sporty person. 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:54.640 Before we move on to another question, Danny, you did 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:57.680 want to say some things about you were away a 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:01.080 lot of changes at the company. Unfortunately, our our world, 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:05.960 our radio world, tough time and this, unfortunately and our 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:10.400 business happens a lot. It hasn't happened in years. Yeah, 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:13.319 any thoughts you want to share is yeah, just quickly, 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:14.800 I'll get to the point of it. 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:18.520 I listened to your interview with Eddie and and I'll 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:20.760 be honest, man, I got a little emotional during the 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:24.320 interview because I've spent years on the radio with you guys. 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:28.120 When I think of the best and the greatest moments 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:30.800 on the Malor Show, Eddie was right in the middle 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.120 of all of it. I played the clip a lot 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:37.480 of him in real talk, singing that duet together all 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:38.359 the way. 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:45.520 We were learning, gentlemen, how you parte that scattered picture 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:54.920 of the smiles we left, We were in tears. 0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:00.600 Yeah, and there there were a few different moments like 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:04.400 that that I'll always remember And just want to tip 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.840 the mic to Eddie Garcia Man, one of the greats. 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:09.520 I hope it works out to where he can come 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:11.560 back to the company someday just like you did. 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:14.679 Yeah. I have so many great memories as well with Eddie. 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:16.840 I mean every bit that we did, Eddie was usually 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:20.800 a part of most of the time and all the stick. 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:24.560 I loved busting his balls about going to Disneyland the 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:26.360 night of the NFL draft, and. 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:31.520 You know, I was your tech producer and I also, 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.200 you know, hosted the games and had a larger role 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:37.480 than that on your show. But one thing that I 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:42.320 loved about Eddie, besides him co hosting in essence, was 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:45.320 he added little sound effects and drops here and there 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:49.600 that were his own specialty. Yeah, and they always added 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.160 to the fun. You know, he had great timing. He 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:55.200 has great timing. And so if he does if he's 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.480 not able to come back here and he lands somewhere else, 0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:01.120 And I texted this to him, I said, Man, somebody 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:04.120 else is going to get a real radio pro and 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:08.680 a treasure because he really helped that show go to 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:09.360 the next level. 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:12.320 And so he's going to be missed man a lot. 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:13.840 How about shut up. 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:16.680 I'm glad he's still going to come around on the 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:20.000 Fifth Hour podcast here and hopefully come to the local 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:23.360 and the Vegas Malard meet and greets you have, because 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:27.480 he goes down in Malor's show slash Fox Sports History 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:29.200 Lore No he does. 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:30.840 I mean he's been there. He was there for over 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.960 twenty years, and I still I need to last another 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:38.120 six months and twenty six days and then I'll pass Eddie. 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.520 I think I think he passed me for longest tenured 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:46.520 at FSR employment, but who knows. Anyway, it's it's been 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:52.320 a very interesting couple of weeks that you holidays coming 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:53.840 up and just happy. 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:55.560 Yeah, well, and I'm glad the boss has let you 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:57.800 address it on the air and on the podcast. That 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:01.720 was very classy of Scott Shapiro to let you do that. 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:04.240 It was and I think I thank Scott. I was like, 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:06.800 we had a conversation when I when I talked to 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.200 him and Don when this all went down and they 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:12.120 were explaining what had happened and going through all that, 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:16.960 and that's private, that's not for broadcast. But they knew 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:20.160 he'd been here too long. You can't just pretend like 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.920 this didn't happen, So you have to you have to 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:26.720 address it. Let's see what is next year? On the 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:32.480 male bag Mike in Salt Lake, right since says, Hey, 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:36.520 Ben and Danny, I heard I hear you guys, heard 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:41.400 you Ben complaining about the price of food on your 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:45.000 radio show. I brought up the taco thing the other 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:49.120 day at on the radio anyway, says he says, I 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.520 bet you're glad you don't drink coffee after seeing this story, 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:54.840 so I clicked he sent me a link here, Danny, 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:58.160 I you see this is from the New York Post. 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:04.440 It's a Scottish dairy is offering the UK's most expensive 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:07.240 cup of coffee. You want to take a guess how 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:10.159 much one cup of coffee costs at this Scottish dairy. 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:14.520 I'm gonna say eleven dollars. See that's how you play 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:16.760 the game. See Eddie, if he was here, he would 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:21.679 have held eight thousand dollars and would yeah, no, a 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:24.320 cup of joe at the Scottish dairy. According to this 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:27.199 link that this guy from Utah sent three hundred and 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:32.080 forty four dollars the Scotty here. Yeah, a double shot 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:36.159 espresso top with a layer of steam milk. Yeah, and 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:42.160 a hand job. Yeah. You better get a happy ending 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:45.880 for that man. That's Wow, three hundred and forty four 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:47.480 bucks for a cup of coffee. 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:50.479 Her right hand gets a workout while you sip on 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:51.520 your latte. 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:56.800 My right hand was getting a workout. I I geez, 0:17:57.000 --> 0:18:00.479 who's buying that? Well? Somebody? Maybe nobody is. I have 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:05.040 no idea. My god, that's insane to the membrane. Needless 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:08.000 to say this. Actually, this next one actually relates to that. 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:11.960 This is from from Jay who sent this one in, 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:16.040 and it's about the the banana. Did you guys talk 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:19.040 about this on Covino and Rich this week, that duct 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:24.360 tape banana? We did? It's just what a ridiculous story. 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:29.040 So this, I guess it's a crypto billionaire guy bought 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:33.280 the duct tape banana, which was they claimed art. Yeah. 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:35.240 I was just gonna say, Ben, please refer to it 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:36.919 as art. It's an art piece. 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:40.320 This is why I hate art, because this shit crap 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:45.760 like this. So somebody duct taped the banana to a ball, 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:48.840 and then a bunch of rich people drinking wine looked 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:53.879 at it and said, oh, it's art, a masterpiece. 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:56.200 If I took color to that museum, he would have 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:58.560 torn it down and took a bite. 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:02.479 Oh it's so stupid. It's so it's so embarrassed. Anyway, 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:04.920 So some rich dude who's got more money than he 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:09.280 can possibly use in his life, he bought the duct 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:15.560 tape banana for six point two million dollars. And the 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:18.400 kicker to the story here, Danny, the kicker to the story. 0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:23.399 The gentleman plans to eat it. Now, how is that 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:26.440 a banana does not There's no way you can eat it, right, 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:31.240 it's impossible because the banana lifespan this thing. This story's 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:33.879 been around for a while, right, this is the banana story. 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:38.359 It goes back at least three or four years, probably 0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:39.400 longer than that. Right. 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:43.680 I hope this guy gets really, really sick from eating 0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:46.520 that banana. I'm not wishing death on him, but just 0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:47.280 very ill. 0:19:47.960 --> 0:19:49.920 Now. I guess the comedian is the guy that put 0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:53.640 this up first, some comedian, but the crypto billionaire bought 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:56.639 the duct tape banana for six point two million, plans 0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:58.119 to eat it. But you know what you do is 0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:00.879 make banana bread, right, that's what you see. She make 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:04.000 banana bread. Well, that's always that. Yeah, you're right. 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:08.520 My grandma always took the the ones with bruises and 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:10.840 that we're too old and she set them aside and 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:12.240 she said, that's gonna be bread. 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:15.720 I'm all right, knock yourself out. Grama. Who's the first 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:19.439 one that determined that let's make banana bread? Like? There 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:22.639 must have been imagine that epiphany, the first person that realized, well, 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:24.320 these bananas are turning bad, let's seef we can make 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:26.719 bread out of them. And it must have been like 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:29.560 just mind blowing right, just oh my god, I can't 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:34.000 believe it. That is amazing. I wanted to mention we 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:37.600 talked about the other day the bomb cyclone that hit Seattle, 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:40.880 and yeah, we're getting into the time of the year 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:45.200 here where the weather's kind of getting nasty and gnarly 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:47.960 right late November and we're getting in on December. Is 0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:49.479 going to be year before you know it. So this 0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:53.439 is a friendly reminder, not from bomb dot com, but 0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:57.280 all of these new weather terms. And I learned this 0:20:57.320 --> 0:20:58.800 a couple of years back, but I want to remind 0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:01.600 people because some people don't know. These are all creations 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:06.000 to scare you on social media, and they these are 0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:08.760 all like the weather events aren't any different, you know 0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:11.720 what I mean, They just called them something else like 0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:15.520 instead of jet stream it's an atmospheric river, right, you know, 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:17.760 either the jet stream would bring the rain or whatever, 0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:22.440 but now it's an atmosphere river. The heat Dome, I 0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:24.239 think I'm gonna use the heat Dome when somebody has 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:25.800 a big game, say they were in the heat Dome. 0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:27.919 I think I'll use that. 0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:31.560 You can't use that if they're playing at the Tropicana. 0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:36.240 No, no, you definitely definitely can't. Polar vortex that's been 0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:39.560 around a while. Yeah, we've heard people joke about that one. 0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:43.919 And then bomb cyclone is the that's the latest that 0:21:44.040 --> 0:21:48.920 has popped up here. And they they've changed the the 0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:53.880 definitions of certain weather events in the American Meteorological Society. 0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:57.879 The weather people who get together and it sounds like 0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:02.879 a rapper's name, bomb cyclone. Yeah, people get so freaked out. Oh, 0:22:02.920 --> 0:22:06.399 oh my god, it's an atmospheric river. Oh my god, 0:22:06.560 --> 0:22:11.400
