I'm not going to try 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:42.160 to pronounce this dude's name, but India, God bless him. 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:43.520 I'm sure he was amazing. 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:45.640 What are the drops that I use on the regular 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:46.280 on our show. 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:48.600 I'm not a numbers guy, but that doesn't seem to 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:52.440 add up that math ain't mathing like that. You know, 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.440 Hey man, whenever I don't know the answer, I just 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:58.160 say malord math because malor math is never wrong. 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:01.360 Da. Yeah, Radio didn't get into this to do math. 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:04.400 There's no math. Although when I was a kid, you're 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.080 around my age, daty, Remember they said you're not going 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:07.880 to have a calculator with you when you're out in 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:12.560 the real world. All they're carrying calculators. They lied to us, Danny. 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:16.800 Yeah, not everybody can afford those Cassio calculator watches. 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:22.720 Everyone who has a smartphone has a calculator, so eighty 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:26.240 percent of the world's got calculators on them at any time. 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:29.560 So those teachers that wouldn't let us use calculators are 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:30.240 full of shit. 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:33.000 And when I think of the advanced math classes I 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:35.920 took in high school, what a free waiste. 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.720 Yeah, this is shame. All right, let's get to it. 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.519 This is the mail bag, and that means, ohio au, 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:59.280 it's this bag. All right, thank you, thank you.

Every once 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:07.840 in a while, will see what if nobody sends a question, 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.280 I'll be screwed. What are we gonna do? But I've 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:12.840 never had to worry about that. So Real fifth Hour 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.040 at Gmail, Well I have worried about it, but it's 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:16.359 one of those things you worry about where you don't 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:18.239 need to worry about. It's a waste of my time. 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.600 Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Real fifth Hour 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:25.600 at gmail dot com. If you want to send a question, 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.040 and if you want to send some in I'm not 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:30.560 sure we are going to do the pod next weekend, 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.120 but I'm not sure exactly when or probably more of 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.360 an evergreen. I'm not sure when we're going to do it, 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:36.960 if you know what I mean. So if you want 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.080 to get a question in, you can send it today. 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:43.280 And because I'm not sure exactly when that pod will 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:46.480 be done, so if you want, if we have enough 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:51.000 evergreen questions, I will be more than happy to do 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.720 a mail bag. Otherwise we'll do something else. So it's 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:55.320 really up to you, guys, which means. 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.560 All the questions have to be about trees. 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:04.120 Yes, yes, or your favorite kind of chemical spray in 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.200 the bathroom. You can talk about that, would you like? 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.800 You know, isn't there evergreen spread anyway? Real fifth Hour 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:14.000 no letters or no letters, no numbers, all letters, Real, 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.080 spell it out, Real fifth Hour. If you don't know 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:17.960 how to spell, that's probably a problem that you should 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.479 deal with on your own. Real fifth Hour at gmail 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:24.360 dot com and send your question in and we'll have 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:26.920 we'll have some fun. So first one is from Alf 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:30.760 from the Storage Unit says happy holidays, gentlemen. What's the 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.920 coolest swag or perk that you have received from being 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:38.560 in the radio business? Yeah, so I have, ALF. I 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:40.920 used to do commercials. I'll go first, Danny, I have 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:45.479 a Sleep Number bed, a very nice Sleep Number bed 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:47.919 that was a gift from Sleep Number for me doing 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.480 commercials back in the day. That's probably ten years ago, 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:52.760 and I still have the bed. It works great. I 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:57.359 love it. It's amazing and every night I go to bed 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:00.400 on my Sleep Number bed and it's wonderful. You can 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.800 adjust it depending on your back and whatnot. My wife 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:07.119 loves it. She I think will ever have another bed. 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:08.800 I mean, if we get another bed, we'll get another 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:10.760 Sleep Numbers. I'm trying to say. It's very expensive though. 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.880 Those things are not cheap, and I'd love for them. 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:15.800 Danny to return as a sponsor, if you know what 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:19.440 I mean, Danny wink wink. No, No, that would be cool. 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.680 Other than that, I mean, I mean a couple of 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.080 trips here, I don't, I don't try. You know, Danny's fortunate. 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.600 He gets to go a lot of trips. I very 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:28.720 rarely get trips. I've I've had a lot of fun 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:30.440 with the TV show. They send me to Boston every 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.760 year to hang out and record stuff for the TV show, 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:35.920 So that's really been the main main part. When I 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:37.760 first got into radio, I got to go to the 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.479 World Series on the you know, back in the nineties 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:44.200 that was awesome and stuff. But the trips have been fun. 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.360 But the bed's probably the one that I've used more 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.520 than anything. What about you, Danny, Yeah. 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:51.040 Well, the trips are cool for Covino and Rich, although 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.200 I will say the two of them are the lucky 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.760 ones on those trips because they just got to worry 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:59.320 about cracking their microphones or their headsets and talking, whereas 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:03.080 I'm still ring my laptop around producing and editing this 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:07.240 fine podcast, plus doing the same for them and doing 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.159 all the behind the scenes work for their broadcasting. So 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.040 even though it's fun to travel, it's a shit ton 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.520 of work for me. So when they go out and 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.000 drink with the listeners afterwards, I go to my hotel 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:21.960 room and collapse. But it's still nice to get to 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.200 go visit other cities. Back when I was a kid 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:29.040 in radio ben I got Lasik eye surgery and all 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.200 I had to do was voice the commercials. 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.800 Oh I remember that there was a pew time. Everyone 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.480 in radio is doing those Lasik eye commerce My name 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:39.360 is so and so, and I had Mike and see 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:40.080 twenty twenty. 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:43.000 Now, you know, it was awesome if I had to 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:46.039 do an updated commercial for them. Now I could talk 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:53.000 about how I'm one of the national broadcasters who's blind. No, 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:57.560 my eyesight is still cool, although I do have some 0:06:57.600 --> 0:06:59.760 floaters from time to time, which worries me. 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.480 Well, wasn't that just a sign of getting older? You know? 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:04.440 I don't z. 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:04.960 I hope not. 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:07.880 He knows, I don't know what. Well, we'd have to 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.320 do a deep dive on what causes the floaters. So 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.720 that's a pretty cool thing that helped you your visions. 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:14.840 Oh it did, Yeah, and did not have to worry 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:19.120 about contacts or wearing glasses this whole time has been awesome. 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:22.800 And then and then the last thing, Benny, right here 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:24.880 where I'm at in San Diego and in some other 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:28.160 cities where there are theme parks, now you can't get 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.960 enough tickets for your whole party. But I've known the 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.400 folks at SeaWorld, and I've known the folks at the 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:37.520 Zoo since I programmed FM radio stations back in the day. 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:41.040 So I'm friendly with the promotions directors at all of 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:44.520 the parks. From time to time can get some preebies 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:46.880 from the theme parks, which has been awesome. 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:50.680 Oh that's cool. Yeah, I used to get free, you know, 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:53.360 free stuff back in the day. I really my wife 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:55.360 always gives me a hard time, so you really should 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.120 try to get more first, I know, but I hate 0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:59.480 asking people for stuff, so I'm always like, that's always 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:00.000 the hard part. 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:03.000 Yeah, And it's a it's like a long drawn out 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:07.160 process too, a lot of emails back and forth, a 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:10.640 lot of printing things out two forms of ID and 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:14.840 email a picture of this, and your credentials are needed 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:17.120 for that. And so if you have the time and 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:20.800 patience to do it, it's nice. But there are a lot 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.760 of radio people and TV people that are just too 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:25.600 lazy to deal with any of it. 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:30.720 Yeah, for sure, and like some I think as one 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.560 of the guys I was talking to at the party said, 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:36.440 they got they knew somebody at Disney. If you email 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.640 somebody at Disney, if you work for our company, they'll 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:41.760 let you, like once a year go to Disney for free. 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:44.800 That's a huge It used to be the case, but 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:46.719 Disney put the kebash on that. 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:48.520 I was told it was back. 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:51.840 Oh, okay, good to know, but I don't know. 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:55.120 Who to hell the email. 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:57.360 Right, Well, find that you're talking to the guy who 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:02.480 sniffed out the Mike Tyson team and Donald Trump's cell phone. 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:04.800 I said, you get the president of the vone, you 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:05.640 deserve a raise. 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:09.600 Well, Danny, if I will deputize you, if you can 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.360 find the right person, let me know. My wife will 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:14.280 be forever grateful. Will make you what any kind of 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:16.920 cookie you want, although I know you're not eating cookies now. 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.800 Barry from South Carolina, who might be moving for now 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.079 South Carolina says Yo Yo Ma. Benny and Danny g 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:25.840 Inquiring minds want to know, on average, how many questions 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.440 do you guys get every week for the mailbag? A 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:33.480 good question, anywhere from eight to I think one. You know, 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.120 if something crazy happens like when Ady got let Go, 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:38.520 we got a lot. I am a lot more than that. 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:43.240 It's usually eight to fifteen or so a week. Sometimes 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:47.280 we've gotten twenty five, which is a ton I think 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:50.720 for a podcast whatever, But we usually only have time 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:54.320 for anywhere on ten. Right, Yeah, you get to about 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.679 ten a week. A lot of the months Berry I 0:09:56.800 --> 0:10:01.480 get I can't even use They're just how do I 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:05.920 describe this? There's people that somehow managed to use email 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.080 but don't know how to spell certain things, and they 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:11.320 well they'll just send sporty questions in which we don't 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.600 really use on this podcast. We try to avoid that. 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.560 But usually anywhere from eight to fifteen to twenty and 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:18.920 you know, some weeks if something when Adie got like, 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:21.000 like I said, that was a lot of a lot 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.440 of f you Ben or your show blows or whatever. 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:26.440 You know, it's like that kind of thing, which people, 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.480 I think, believe that I was responsible for that, Danny, 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:32.360 that I had some kind of power to do that, 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:35.680 which was not true. I don't have any power, trust me, 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.840 no power. I certainly would have done that anyway. So 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:44.840 that's the answer. Barry. Next one Harry in Europe, writing 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:51.080 in Okay. He says he's in Poland. He's just visiting. Well, 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:52.840 I don't know if you want to go to Poland 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.040 right now, but I don't know why you're there anyway, 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:57.600 he says, why would anyone buy this? He sent me 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:00.680 a story he found on the Internet of a Michelin 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:04.839 starred restaurant. According to the headline here in Washington, d 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:11.040 C has unveiled luxury water menu. It features a ninety 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.000 five dollars bottle of a melted Canadian iceberg. 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:19.680 So they say that actually sounds good. I would drink 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:20.240 more water. 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:26.400 Yeah, yeah, I know you're guessing here. This is like 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:28.360 the ultimate bullshit. It's like those people that said, we 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:29.840 remember we had the story a couple of weeks back 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:33.520 about the people sending air from I forget somewhere in 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:37.160 Italy or whatever. Yeah, I mean, it's like, it's just bullshit. 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.280 It's one of those things. My theory has always been, 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.120 it's like those we do foody fun on Friday usually, 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:47.200 and those gimmick items they can overcharge for, right, And 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:52.000 you know, I mean like the nick Ribs sauce, the 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:55.079 gallon of McRib sauce, which probably cost McDonald's about two dollars. 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:57.800 Dude, Maybe we could get the youth of America to 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:04.400 start sniffing smog. They like to vape you and I been. 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:08.040 We could bottle smog from Sherman Oaks, California and sell it. 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.320 If you're down. I'm not kidding. If we had a 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:16.560 cool logo made on little bottles. Yeah, and just as 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:20.120 a gimmick, and we charge like fifteen bucks or twenty 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:23.079 bucks a bottle of La smoggy air. 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:25.720 Word of mouth. Can you imagine like a kid seeing 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:29.760 another kid? What is that is that some sort of vape. Nah, man, 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:30.840 this is a smogger. 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:34.080 Yeah, this is La Small, not just any smog. 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:36.960 Yeah, oh dude, that would be big. And then we 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:40.160 could do different logos for the different city smog. 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.800 Oh yeah, we'd have like like you know, East La Small. 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:48.119 Yeah, and bro, after school, we're going to hit the Chicago. 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:51.839 Oh, big time, big time. That's a great idea, It's all. 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:54.400 But I answer your question, Harry, it's all like it's 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:58.280 a scam because they scam's the right word. But water's water, right, 0:12:58.280 --> 0:12:59.400 it's all. I mean, what are you doing? 0:12:59.600 --> 0:12:59.840 Please? 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:03.720 And you know ninety five dollars dude? 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:07.280 Can you imagine the Lax smager. Oh that'd be a 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:11.600 top starer anybody. If you ever fly into our neck 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.600 of the woods and you fly into Lax, just take 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:15.280 a glimpse. 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:18.760 He blew me off at a hotel near Lax. 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:22.959 The dirty sky around you, right around the airport there. 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:25.600 It's so filthy, it's pretty bad. 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:28.880 Next one's from Reggie from Detroit, who has been a 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.240 semi regular email over these. I'm hurt from Reggie in 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:35.520 a while anyway. He says, Hey, Ben and Danny, defend 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:38.120 your city and then he sent me a link here 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:42.760 to the LA Foody event they had celebrating the top 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:46.320 restaurants in Los Angeles where dozens of people were sickened 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:50.280 from eating food. I guess they ate raw oysters at 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.280 this top restaurant event and had to go get medical 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:56.720 help and stuff. So Reggie wants us to defend that. Well, 0:13:56.760 --> 0:14:00.839 anyone's eating the raw oysters. In my opinion is it's 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:05.040 like essentially playing Russian Roulette with your stomach, asking for 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:08.840 something really bad to happen. You're asking for bad results there. 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:14.040 I did see this actually the other day. I thought 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:17.120 it was like a nineteen eighties comedy Danny, doesn't that 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:19.400 seem like? Or a Saturday Night Live skip back when 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:22.640 Saturday Night was good where they have the top restaurants 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.320 and all these foodies are there and they end up 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.920 getting sick from the food at the top rest I 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:29.960 mean it sounds like a comedy move. 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:32.640 Well, you know, outside of the event were a whole 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:37.160 bunch of street vendors with the bacon dogs and nobody 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:38.920 got sick from those. Surprisingly. 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:43.040 Yeah, that's the funny. The amount of bacon dog salespeople 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:48.240 in LA and they don't follow the safety code. No, 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:52.920 I consume those and enjoy them. 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:56.560 And the only way to eat oysters is baked. If 0:14:56.560 --> 0:15:00.680 you're gonna have them, the baked oysters are goodw oysters 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:02.040 your nuts if you eat those. 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:06.440 Not into the seafood thing unless I eat seafood once 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:09.560 a year. Beer battered fish sticks. That's it. Tastes like chicken. 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:12.720 Nelson from the Bay Area Rights and he says, hey, 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:16.640 Ben and Danny, this is probably a minister golf for you, Ben, 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.440 But how is this possible? And he sent the story 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.640 this week from the forty nine ers quarterback Brock Purty, 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:29.720 who gave his offensive linemen ten brand new toyotas that 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:33.520 cost nine hundred thousand dollars. 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:36.680 Well, well he didn't pay all of that. He got 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:37.720 a huge discount. 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:41.800 Well, not only the You gotta understand that people are 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:48.680 so dumb. This is the season of quarterbacks giving gifts 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:52.080 to their offensive linemen. It is also the season of 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:56.160 those gifts. It's called product placement. I believe, not in 0:15:56.240 --> 0:16:00.880 every case, not in every case, but a lot of them. 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:05.880 Our product placement. Okay, that's that's what this is. Where 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:11.040 Brock Party, from what I understand, he has a deal 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:15.040 with Toyota. They does commercials. His salary this year for 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.480 the forty nine ers is nine hundred and thirty four 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:21.400 thousand dollars. So are you that naive? Are people that 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.560 global Danny like? Oh? I can't but that he spent 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:26.040 his entire salary to get offensive line. 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:29.040 I saw that. And then the starting five O linemen 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:33.600 make almost thirty eight million combined. Should they be buying 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:36.280 him some souped up vehicle? Yeah? 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:39.760 So no, it's like they put the little cartoon red 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:42.840 you know, those giant oversized bows and crap. They put 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:45.920 that on the Yeah, this was a commercial for Toyota. 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:49.520 Good for Toyota. Right, we're promoting them too. It's free, 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:52.920 not free, they're paying for it. But if you think 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:57.560 that Brock Party went out and spent nine hundred thousand 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:02.040 dollars on cars, you're just a dope. I don't know 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:05.000 what to tell you, all right, And just like you know, 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:08.240 do you think was the story? What's the quarterback of 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:12.760 the Bengals? There? Burrow? He gave his offensive lineman katana sorts. 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:17.160 He probably got to deal with them. And these guys 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:20.400 are neghosting their agents Negotia. Hey, we're gonna give this out. 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:23.440 It's going to be picked up by ESPN and Fox 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:26.560 and they're all gonna write stories about an online and 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:28.920 everyone tries to live through these quarterbacks. So you get 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:32.439 this amount of advertising, what can you do for us? Uh? 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:35.439 Not again, not every case, but a fair amount of 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.679 those are product placement. And I remember we worked with 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:41.000 an old offensive lineman back and then he told us 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:44.880 that and we've talked about so his quarterback one one year. 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:47.240 This goes way back to like the early two thousands 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:50.640 in the oats gave some gifts out and the offensive 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:53.000 lineman found out that he had he had a side 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:56.000 deal with There were like suits, he had a side 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:58.760 deal with this haberdashery and they were the offensive line 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:00.960 where we're not rappy about that. Dude, you didn't pay 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:09.080 for this, Mike writes in from the Capital of the North, 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:12.880 Paul Fullerton. He says, Happy Honakh and Merry Christmas to you, 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:15.399 Ben and Danny g With Honkah beginning on the same 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.520 day as Christmas this year, do you still think Santa 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:21.720 Claus and Hanakah Harry will be able to deliver presents 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:24.040 to all the good boys and girls around the world. 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:27.320 My nephew's worried they'll crash into each other mid air. 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:30.760 Can you please convince him everything will be okay, thank you. 0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:35.440 By the way, Covino and Rich on Friday's Afternoon Show, 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:39.440 they were saying that the ultimate plug for you would 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:42.159 be to get into Adam Sandler's next version of the 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:42.960 Hanukkah song. 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:45.280 Oh, that would be wonderful. Yeah. 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:48.359 They they were petitioning Adam Sandler to name drop you 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:50.760 in the next version of his classic. 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:53.560 That would be that would that would be a dream 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:58.000 come true because those things get played, as you know, Danny, Yeah, yeah, 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:01.760 one month or one month. Yeah, so I think it'll 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:04.439 be okay. Imagine the bar when they get done for 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:06.800 the night. Now, the problem is, Honakah Harry's got to 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:09.320 work for eight nights. Santa Claus only has one night. 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:12.040 So Santa Claus and Honaka har imagine the I'm going 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:14.200 out to like a dive bar after they get done 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:17.119 for the night. And then but Hanakah Harry, you know, 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:19.240 he can't drink too much. He's because he's got to 0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:21.359 come back to work for seven more nights after that, 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:23.879 where Santa just goes back to the North Pole and 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:26.920 chills out until next next Christmas. But yeah, they should 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:28.560 be fine, they should be all right. 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:31.600 Now we have a stupid elf on the shelf thing 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:35.000 that parents do for Christmas. Yeah, is there anything Jewish 0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:35.840 people do like that? 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:40.760 Yeah? There there, there is actually a Jewish version of 0:19:40.840 --> 0:19:45.639 the Elf on the shelf. Because marketing people realize, you 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:47.360 know what we're gonna do. We're gonna find a way 0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:48.920 to get the Jews to spend some money on this, 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:55.800 And so it was what's the name of it's Mensch 0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:57.040 on the bench is what it is? 0:19:57.040 --> 0:19:59.000 Actually, Oh okay, I've heard of that. 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:03.160 Yeah, yeah, yeah, Mench on a bench is the Jewish counterpart. 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:07.240 And when when Christmas happens?

Are you prepared, Riley says, Yes, 0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:10.000 here's my plan, Danny. What I'm gonna do is, I'm 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:12.720
