So thirty two percent said that, or thirty 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.240 two percent said correct forty to sixty percent of the time. 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:37.960 And see, I have some other who cares.

I am a big 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:51.400 fan of the radio show. 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:51.560 Ben. 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:53.440 I've listened to you off and on for the last 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:55.159 fifteen years. I'm going to be in New Orleans this 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:58.680 week for the Super Bowl. I'm there to watch my 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.680 birds be the Chiefs. I would love to meet you. 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:04.640 Are you going to be hosting a mall or meet 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:08.719 and greet when you're in town with the f SR team. Well, Eddie, 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:10.719 you clearly don't pay attention when you listen. If you 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:12.400 think I'm going to be a New Orleans bill. 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:14.400 No, no, no, no. 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.119 There's the cool kids and then there's the overnight kids 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:19.640 that don't get invited to this stuff. 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:23.120 So no, I will not be in Norms. 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:26.120 The company did not see me seem that I need 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.520 to be there, Eddie, so I will not. I will 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:30.640 be back in LA so I will not be able 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:33.040 to meet you. I'm sorry, but I've never been to Norms. 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:36.279 Maybe one year I'll go I'll have to pay my own. 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:37.320 Way when I go. 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:41.599 But unfortunately he offered to buy me some gumbo. Well, 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:43.600 I don't really want to eat gumbo. So even if 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:44.960 I win, I wouldn't want to eat your gumbo. 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:50.000 But have fun, Eddie. Don't be upset when the Chiefs win. Okay, and. 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:56.200 Which way you're betting, well, let's see. 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.760 I mean Jersey guy, you know, South Jersey is essentially Philly. 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:02.520 But have have fun, Eddie. I hope you have a 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:03.080 great time. 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:06.560 And it's it's it's a fun fun thing. 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:08.120 I mean, I paid my own way the last couple 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.160 of years to go hang out and do stuff at 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:13.480 the super Bowl and not actual like, I don't know 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:14.640 if Eddie's going to the game or not. 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:16.520 He didn't say whether he's going to the actual game. 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.160 But you have a good time. So there's a massive 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:23.760 store the NFL puts up where you can buy you know, 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:27.160 eighty dollars T shirts and things like that. So Kevin 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:31.520 from Kenosha writes in that's that is the home of 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:35.200 the cheese Castle Danny right in Wisconsin. 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:38.000 It's when you travel, that's right. Yeah, you've talked about this. 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:42.360 Yeah, it's a Mars Cheese Castle and Kenosha stopped there 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:44.600 when I was driving up from Chicago to visit my 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:48.640 brother in Appleton. Anyway, Kevin writes, and he says, hey, 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.880 Ben and Danny, you guys talked about Doug Gottlieb, oh 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:55.720 boy coaching Green Bay a lot when he got the gig. 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.360 Now that his team is the worst in college basketball, 0:07:58.400 --> 0:07:59.920 you have not mentioned his name much? 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:07.000 Are you covering for your co worker? Says Kevin. No way. 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:10.679 I hear jokes being thrown out here and there from 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:14.880 different shows about Doug, Like nothing like super you know, 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.800 obnoxious or anything, but yeah, like little funny shots here 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:19.280 and there. 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.360 Yeah. No, I mean, no one's telling us not to 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.840 talk about Doug Gottlieb coaching Cream Bay. 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:26.920 I don't know how what is their record? 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:28.760 They won like two games, right, They're like two and 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:30.840 twenty something, and I don't know what their record is. 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:34.480 But yeah, Kevin, this is not the deep State. I 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:36.480 don't think our bosses care that much. You know what 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:36.920 I'm saying. 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:42.040 Rich Davis, he's coaching his little daughter's softball team. They're like, 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.560 I think they're called the Pink Sparklers. He said it 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.280 on the air the other day that he's Fox Sports 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:49.840 Radio's number one coach. 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:55.200 Well, all you have to do is win three games. 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:56.760 No, no, I don't. 0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:00.880 I mean, listen, Doug wanted to do both jobs. I 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.440 think you kind of need to do one. But hey, 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:04.000 good luck. 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:06.040 I hope it. I guess. 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.040 I hope it gets better, but it really can't get 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.200 much worse, right, I don't If you're the worst in 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:12.840 college basketball, there's only one way to go. I'll be 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.480 Benny Brightside here, there's only one way to go. But no, Kevin, 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:19.880 I like your conspiratorial mind. I maybe they did send 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:21.440 me an email in my work email, but I don't 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.839 check my work email, So no, I just don't think 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:28.000 it's all that compelling. I guess I could you think 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.600 I should work some more jokes in taking shots at Gottlieb. 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:31.040 I don't know. 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:31.600 Maybe I will. 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:36.040 I have no no idea anyway. I thank you, Thank you, Kevin. 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.760 Everyone thinks it's a conspiracy Danny everything again. 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:41.600 You know. The one thing I'd love is that Gottlieb 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:45.559 is not allowed to tweet anymore, apparently, because any tweety 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:49.760 puts out the first comment without a doubt, the first 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:52.480 person that runs the comment always says the same thing. 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:55.880 Why don't you focus on coaching basketball instead of being 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:59.240 on Twitter? Yeah? 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.520 Well doesn't doesn't look great. 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:05.160 And I'm sure it'll get even more awkward for Doug 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.319 when he shows up to New Orleans later this week. 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:08.720 And people will be like, what are you doing there? 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:10.920 You're supposed to be coaching in the Green Bay? 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.200 What are you doing? I don't understand why you're here? 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:16.080 What do you should be with your team? But you know, 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:17.800 he signed he knows what he signed up for. He's 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:19.080 a big boy, right, he can handle it. 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.960 I think, you know. Yeah, And he's not arriving until 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.560 Wednesday because he is with the team, so he's not 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:26.960 going to be there all week. Yeah, there you go. 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:28.559 Well he'll be there more than I will be there. 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:28.960 I know that. 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:31.000 Who else do we have? Sarah in Minnesota? 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:33.520 Right? Since she says I was talking with a friend 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:36.960 about your show, Thank you, Sarah. Promoting the show, I 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:40.880 used the expression blankety blank doesn't hold a candle to 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:44.240 Ben Maler's show. Okay, so she said that our show 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:47.680 is superior to someone else's show, so thank you. I 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.960 went on to say, it may seem he has a 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:54.320 silly overnight show. But his takes are well thought out 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.080 and have depth to them. Well, thank you, Sarah. So 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.760 if you can handle a compliment, please give me the 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:05.920 hit on doesn't hold a candle? Well, Sarah, I will 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:11.480 absolutely for you, only for you. I think she wants 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.840 the phrase of the day, and we will do the 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:17.400 phrase of the mail bag, phrase of the mail bag, 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:23.200 phrase of the mailbag for Sarah in Minnesota. So the 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:28.000 phrase doesn't hold the candle. That obviously comes from a 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:32.600 different time when we didn't have power and at night 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:34.640 you had to go to bed because there was no light. 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:39.640 So used candles before electricity, before Thomas Edison and all 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:40.160 those people. 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:43.400 So the pre electricity. 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:47.840 Era, and from what I have been able to find here, Sarah, 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.480 there were these people called apprentices, but not the apprentice 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:55.400 now's a TV show. But they would hold the candle 0:11:55.600 --> 0:12:00.680 to light. They would hold the candle to light the 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:04.319 work of skilled crafts. And if someone couldn't hold a 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:08.120 candle to another person, it meant they were not even 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:12.120 qualified to be an assistant and stand there like a 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:17.160 Putts and hold a candle. And they say that, they 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:20.120 said the first time Danny that was recorded, and you, 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:28.040 Sarah was sixteen forty one, Sir Edward Durings the four 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:33.000 Cardinal Virtues, and that's from sixteen forty one. 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.920 So been a minute, right, Wow, been a minute? 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.600 Don't hold doesn't it's gonna know. Even back then they 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:41.760 were mocking people that were bad at their job, right, 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:43.520 even in the sixteen hundred. 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:46.600 It's part of human nature. Yeah, gotta do. 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:48.600 It right, yeh. And I bet that that first candle 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:51.200 holder was related to somebody that owned the company and 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:52.520 still got a promotion. 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:58.680 Yeah, probably so, probably so, Like the person that wouldn't 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:00.960 hold the candle was like, they're Doug Gottlieb. You know 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:02.920 that was there? Is that how the joke goes? 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:03.680 Is that all right? 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.960 Mike in Fullerton right Sin says, Happy Groundhog Day, Ben 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:12.439 and Danny g. As much as I love my winter Wonderland, 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:16.400 I am ready for summer. I hope the damn groundhog 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:21.120 does not see his shadow now. Mike in Fullerton says, 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:24.920 are either of you planning to attend Corgy Race Day 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:30.960 on Sunday, February sixteenth, sixteenth at Santa Anita Park to 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:35.160 root for Brian Finley's dog Easy. I think she's got 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:38.960 a real shot to win. With only one foosball game 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.880 left to talk about, maybe you could fill some time 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:46.360 on the next Benny versus the Penny breaking down her odds. 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:50.400 That's from from Mike and Polton. 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:51.760 Yeah. 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.200 So if every let me tell you some Mike, if 0:13:54.320 --> 0:14:01.880 every single television stop working, every single audio device stop working, 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:06.760 and every piece of entertainment closed, and the only thing 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:10.760 left was a corky race at Santa Anita Park, I 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.840 would go to bed. That's what I would do. You, 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:17.280 Danny not into it, Danny, You're not. 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:20.760 I would definitely line up at In and. 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.480 Out because that's what it was all about. 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.480 Yes, I would definitely go to In and Out and 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:29.520 not that race. Yeah, I understand. 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:32.760 Yeah, I mean, come on, how much does it cost? 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:33.040 I don't. 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:35.280 I have questions, but I don't really want to answer 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:35.840 those questions. 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:36.360 You know what I'm saying. 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:42.320 I'm like, I'm good, my god, a Corgi raceff earf? 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:43.680 What is that? 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:46.040 If I know what it is? But why? 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:47.800 Why? 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:48.360 Why? 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:49.320 Why?

Mike lives 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:59.120 in Fullerton, which is really right. It's just adjacent to Siberia. 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:03.320 It's right next to Siberia. It's just so cold there. 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:05.240 It's so terrible. 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:09.120 It's the hood. Remember wasn't there a Mexican restaurant that 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:14.280 Kobe loved there? Yes, but it was overtaken by gangbangers? 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:15.440 Oh was it not? 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.680 Yeah? Yeah, right, yeah, I remember that. When Kobe died, 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:22.760 there was they revealed like his favorite Mexican restaurant was 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:26.160 this little dive Mexican place in Fullerton that he would 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:28.840 drive all the way from Newport, which is a pretty 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.920 decent drive over to Fullerton to get some nice Mexican 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:34.320 food with his with his wife and his. 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:34.960 Kids and whatnot. 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:37.480 That's where they hung out, and Kobe loved it because. 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:39.720 They just treated him like a normal loser and not 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.160 some celebrity basketball player and all that. 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:45.120 Yeah, and it's the reason he got his helicopter was 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:48.320 to go get the Mexican food. Bulletin is to blame 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:49.120 for his debt. 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:51.400 So, Mike, your city killed Kobe Bryant. How do you 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:52.280 feel your thoughts? 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:53.040 No? All right? 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:58.000 What else do we have anonymous rights in? There's a 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:01.280 conspiracy theory that the whales we are all dying off 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:05.520 the coast of Cape cod because of left wing politics. 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.960 It's scary because this is a small town and we 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.760 are not ready for these type of conspiracies. 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:13.000 This is the. 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:17.360 Home of Robert de Niro's father. Well that's important, Danny. 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:20.360 You know, if it's Robert de Niro's father, you shouldn't 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:25.960 do conspiracies if it's Robert de Niro's father, Like, really, come. 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:29.800 On, is his father still alive because he's old? 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:32.040 No chance, right, there's no chance. 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:36.280 There's no chance. Yeah. 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:40.240 I've seen some of that stuff online about the whales, 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:43.800 some of the some of the things the environmentalists were 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:48.680 doing that supposedly we're gonna help the animals in the 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:53.760 ocean have ended up killing them. And uh, yeah, I 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:56.080 don't know. I think it was the wind turbines, right, 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:59.440 they said the win. I think Trump actually said some 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:03.800 of that stuff couple couple of years back, that the 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:06.320 whales are dying because of the wind turbines. 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:10.920 And I don't know. I'm not near a wind turbine. 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:13.199 So I think they're ugly. And I see them in 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:16.800 Palm Springs here in SoCal and there's a whole valley 0:17:16.960 --> 0:17:20.200 of wind turbines which are terrible. 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:23.760 I'm more interested in d Naro's dad. He died in 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:25.880 nineteen ninety three. He was seventy one. 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:29.480 Yeah, so he's been gone for thirty plus years. 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:34.800 So yep, he is laid to rest at Valhalla, New York. 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:37.920 Oh all right, if you want to go see his grave, 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:41.240 ne're in New York and Valhalla. Go knock yourself out. 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:45.160 Alf from the Blue Tent rights and he says, you 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:51.040 guys think it's possible to contact a contract rather contract 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:54.720 an illness from a radio host by listening too close 0:17:54.760 --> 0:18:01.720 to every show and podcast? Could you please punch that 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.840 TV Dennis in the mouth for getting us both sick. 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:10.679 I would love love to punch the TV Dennis in 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:13.880 the in the mouth. And don't forget by the way, 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:16.879 I know it's Sunday here Benny versus the Penny. You 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:20.480 can still check it out. And it's not a dated show. 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:22.440 There is the Pro Bowls in there a little bit, 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:23.359 but everything else. 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:28.040 I think Pro Bowl you're gambling on flag football. 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:30.640 Well, we we thought it would be fun to kind 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:34.360 of goof around and bust balls about how bad the 0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:37.399 Pro Bowl is. But yeah, so we mentioned it, but 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:40.000 it was like it was probably like one minute out 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:44.800 of the thirty minute show. And do check that out 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:48.399 and there's this is probably, I said yesterday, probably my 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:51.080 favorite show that we've done, because there's a lot of 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:57.000 bloopers and behind the scenes stuff, and we often forget, 0:18:57.400 --> 0:18:59.639 both I and Looney because we do the show and 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:02.160 then the way it works, we go into the studio 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:05.159 and we do the makeup and all that. We have 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:06.920 to put the MIC's on, we have to test everything, 0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:09.560 make sure the IFP is working, and then we sit 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:14.080 around for probably thirty minutes while the futz around in 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:16.560 Boston with the graphics and get everything right and the 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:19.800 video clips and all that stuff. So we're in studios 0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:24.120 sitting around and you know, as well, Danny, you worked 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:26.119 with Looney too. He doesn't shut up. The guy just 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:27.680 I mean, I feel like I do a three hour 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:30.840 show with him. He just does not stop talking. And 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:32.640 I'm just there. I want to get the show over 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:35.080 with and get out of there. And he's bringing up 0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:37.480 people we used to work with. He's bringing up you know, 0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:40.760 FSR people where he works now at KBC in LA 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:44.360 He's bringing up random He's always dropping names, even off 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:48.879 the air, he's dropping names, and you know, we forget 0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:51.960 because we're in there so often that they're always recording 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:56.520 everything we're saying, they're recording, and they played a bunch 0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:59.680 of that stuff back on. A lot of it was 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:01.840 from the show itself, like the actual. 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:06.640 It takes. Sometimes we do multiple takes for segments and whatnot. 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:08.920 But uh, it was. It was pretty funny. But yeah, 0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:12.480 Looney just does not does not stop talking. I'm like, dude, 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:14.480 I'm an introvert. I'm not an extra. You're an extrovert. 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:17.119 I'm an introvert and you won't and that sometimes I 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:20.679 won't even respond and you just keep going. It's like 0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:26.120 the Energizer Bunny, going and going and going and going 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:31.480 and going and going. Anyway, Uh yeah, good luck. Alf 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:34.880 a lot of garlic. I made the garlic onion pizza 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:39.960 on Friday. I posted some photos on Saturday. So that's 0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:43.400 what I recommend. And you know, I feel I feel fine. 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:45.920 The thing about it, Danny, and this is a problem 0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:49.000 we all have in radio, is if you. 0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:50.160 Have a little bit. 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:52.520 Of a twinge in your throat and it's just a 0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:56.800 little off the by the time you rest your voice 0:20:56.840 --> 0:20:59.320 and get ready to do the show, you're fine. But 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:02.080 then when you talk for four hours and it's even 0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:04.840 a lot more talking now since the company whacked Eddie, 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:07.480 and I'm pretty much on my own there at night, 0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:11.359 so it's a lot more talking than I even did before. 0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:15.800 And so my voice is like shredded chicken my vocal 0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:19.080 chords by the end of every show, and then we 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:20.920 come in here and do the podcast on the weekend. 0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:23.399
