Are you gonna buckle up for the mail bag? 18 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 1: Real quick? I got a mail bag question for you. 19 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 1: Have you turned your attention to the NBA yet a 20 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: little bit? I'm not fully in, but I I will 21 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,479 Speaker 1: tell you the trade deadline I gotta look excited. There 22 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: were some big trades in the NBA that got me 23 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: jones up a little bit, and then I have been watching. 24 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: I've been trying to watch a little bit more every night, 25 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: little by little as I'm getting ready for the show. 26 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: But I'm not fully on board because we still have 27 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: this obviously is an All Star weekend in the NBA, 28 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: and then we've got another couple of months before the playoffs. 29 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: The playoffs don't really they don't get going until mid April, right, 30 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: so we've still got a ways to go. You know. 31 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: Somebody sent me the Dodgers spring training schedule you terday, 32 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't know if I'm ready 33 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: for baseball yet. Oh I'm ready. I'm more excited about 34 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: spring training baseball than I've ever been. It is going 35 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: to be such a ship show in baseball with all 36 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: these new FUGHAISI rules that the weird scientist commissioners put 37 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: in and all these hard old baseball people. I was 38 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: talking to a guy that has worked in baseball for 39 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: probably as long as I've been alive, maybe not that long. 40 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: But this guy, he's like, you know, and he loves 41 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,519 Speaker 1: base but he works in baseball He's like, the players 42 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: are so stubborn in our sport. They're so pig headed. 43 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: It is going to be fascinating. It's a it's like 44 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: a great science experiment when they tell the pictures they 45 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: can't fidget on the mound or then the runner can 46 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: steal second, and they can't throw, and you get called 47 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: for a box and like all these weird rules and 48 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: if you don't throw the ball fast enough, all of this. 49 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: Because I mentioned this on the radio show this weekend, 50 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if people everybody, maybe you missed it. 51 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: It's because because of the nerds. It's because they let 52 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: the nerds in baseball, Danny. This is my theory, because 53 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: baseball is like, we need home runs. So they juiced 54 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: the balls up they had home running. But then everyone 55 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: who runs these baseball teams, they all said, okay, we'll 56 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: just play bare league softball and we'll try to get walks, 57 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: and we'll try to hit home runs, and we won't 58 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: give a shit about singles, and who cares about anything 59 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: other than home runs or or walks, and and strikeouts 60 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: don't matter. And so now baseball is like, well, we 61 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: have to artificially make it like it used to be 62 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: in the seventies and the eighties, where the stolen base 63 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: is important and the goal is obvious. They want to 64 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: they want to artificially create more action because there's not 65 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: enough action in baseball. But how they're going about doing 66 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: that is going to mess up the axis of baseball 67 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: and it'll be it'll be fun to watch. How many 68 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: spring training stadiums did you go by when you were 69 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: in Phoenix for the last week at the Super Bowl. 70 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: I didn't see any. You didn't any. I went by 71 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: the Angels facility and Tempe, the Chicago Cubs. I guess 72 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: that's in Mesa. Uh. There were like three or four 73 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: others that we just like randomly. We were in Uber 74 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: and like, hey, look there's the spring training home or 75 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: the Giants were in Fairness. I was traveling at night 76 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: when it was dark, but we did fly over one 77 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: of the stadiums. I don't know which one. Yeah, I mean, 78 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: they're every couple of miles. It's insane, and they're all 79 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: within the greater Phoenix area. You can't go more than 80 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 1: like eight miles from a spring training stadium in Phoenix. 81 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: So all right, let's get to it. These are actual 82 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: messages from actual listeners. But by the way, before we 83 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: get the mail are you watching the NBA? Daniel you 84 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: Jones up for the NBA? Are you're excited because more 85 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: Bomba as a Laker. I'm halfway there. Bomba and the 86 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 1: new Editions have looked pretty decent, so you know, they're 87 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: like just a couple of games away from being a 88 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: six seed all the sudd it's so exciting. I know 89 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens after the All Star break, but no, 90 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: I mean they made some decent moves there. Yeah, you 91 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: didn't get Bones though, Bones Highland, he's a Clipper. Bones 92 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: Highland is a Clipper. What is still wrong with the Clippers? 93 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 1: Eric Gordon's back. I've always liked the Angelo, you know, 94 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: when he was with the Wolves. When he was with 95 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: the Timberwolves, I was watching him like, why couldn't the 96 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: Lakers keep one of those young guys? So now it 97 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 1: feels like speaking of artificial, feels like the Lakers never 98 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: let him go even though he's played for every other 99 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: team in the NBA, the ultimate basketball hobo. All right, So, 100 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: as far as the mail bag is concerned, let's get 101 00:05:46,720 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: right to it. OHIOO. It's first one is from Lee 102 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: in Phoenix. He says, Ben, what happened? I was waiting 103 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: to meet you and the Phoenix Mallard militia and nothing. 104 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: Please tell us the whole story. Yes, Lee, I'd like 105 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: to apologize on behalf of myself and and that's it. 106 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: I will apologize on behalf of myself. So I was 107 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: under the impression, Lee, that the NFL experience would include 108 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: Radio Row. So my original plan was to have listeners 109 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: come down to Radio Row and meet them. I thought 110 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: this would be great, accomplished the daily double, I do 111 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: the show, I'd meet listeners, they could watch me do 112 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: the show. What great fun this would be. Well, then 113 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: I didn't know until I got to the Radio Row 114 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: that the NFL had segregated us. As I said, they 115 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: put us away from everyone else private. It was a 116 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: private thing. We had to take a bus to go 117 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: back and hang out with the cool people, and it was. 118 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: It was a mess, and so I was piste off 119 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: by that. But then I was like, Okay, I'll find 120 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: a restaurant and I put it out on social media. 121 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: I was like, we'll go to a restaurant on Friday, 122 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: and a listener there were two listeners that reached out 123 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: that are big fans of the show. One of them 124 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: he owns a restaurant in Phoenix. He was going to 125 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: get back to me on specifics. The other one is 126 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: this kid that works at Arizona State who's a very 127 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: smart man, plays a lot of great trivia, very good 128 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: at trivia. He gave me the name of his restaurant. 129 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: So then I was like, Okay, well maybe I'll meet 130 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: at that restaurant. UM. And then I got called in 131 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: to work the extra show, The Odd Couple, and that 132 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: was the time I was planning on meeting the listeners. 133 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: So that got shot out of the water. And then 134 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: by the time I got done, I was I just 135 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: crashed and I didn't have I was unable to set 136 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: something up. So I apologized Lee, I meet you, I 137 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,119 Speaker 1: still want to meet you, and all the other people 138 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: that reached out that were bummed out. I feel like 139 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: a total schmuck. I really thought it was gonna work out. 140 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: I thought this would be easy. It turned out to 141 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: be like the Rubik's cube. It was not easy to solve. 142 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: It became problematic. UM, and I will be back and 143 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: I it's on my list of things to do. I 144 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: would like to meet a bunch of listeners this year. 145 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: That's the goal. We couldn't do anything during COVID. We 146 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: had a meet and greet in l A last year 147 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: that went very well. We had a great turnout for that, 148 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: and so my goal is to do as many of 149 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: these things as I can do. It's not cheap to travel, 150 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: that is a problem, and you you gonna pay money out 151 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: of my own pocket. The company's not paying for me 152 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: to travel. They were actually at the super Bowl, but 153 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: not normally, so we'll make it happy. Um. So that's 154 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: that's what went down. Lee, it was Phoenix. You haven't 155 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: Oh no, I'll be back. I will. I will be 156 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 1: back there too to enjoy ay. Uh not Marley's. I 157 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: won't be back at Marley's, but some of the other 158 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: restaurants I'll be back in. Next up is Terry from England. 159 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: He says, hey guys, hey, Ben, how long how long 160 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: was the planning for the Super Bowl trip for you? Ben? 161 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 1: How much advanced noticed did you get? That's from Terry 162 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: from England? Uh? Not very much, Terry, first of all, 163 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: and Danny knew you knew you were going for some time. 164 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 1: I was in a holding pattern. Is the way I 165 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: would describe it. I was told I probably will be 166 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: able to go, but I did not know the weekend 167 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: before I went. It was not completely confirmed and I 168 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 1: didn't want to jinx anything. But it did not get 169 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: completely green lighted until less than a week before I 170 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: had landed in Phoenix. It was that close to not happen. Yeah. 171 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 1: The way our boss explained it to me was the 172 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,719 Speaker 1: la piece of your puzzle he had been waiting on 173 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: was whether or not security and all that would be 174 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: in place for you to be able to broadcast live 175 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: at your time. So once he got the thumbs up 176 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 1: on that, that's when he confirmed it with you. And 177 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: the bad news. The bad news from my boss is 178 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,319 Speaker 1: now that we know that security is there around the clock, 179 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: that in future Super Bowls, there's no reason for me 180 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 1: not to go because now we know that I will 181 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: be the most protected man in radio that that there 182 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 1: would be you know, seven thousand security guards from my 183 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: fat asked at Radio Row. So there's nothing to worry about, um. 184 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: But I hope that answers your question, Terry. So it 185 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: was very last minute, and we mentioned the hotel issues 186 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 1: and all that, but it was great to be there 187 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: and a lot of fun. It was great to see everybody. 188 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: I had a good conversation with our our big boss, 189 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: Don Martin, who I don't get to see very often. Mom, Maya, 190 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: come on down, Ma Maya and let me of them 191 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: coming to my already here for you, Maya. What I mean? 192 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: We had to pay him over time, but what to 193 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: do for you? Because you're a legend, my man, You're 194 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: worth it, my man, We're family. We're family here, my man. Anyway. Alright, 195 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: So John from Peoria, Illinois emails in on the mailbag. 196 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: He is next. He says, Hey, Ben, uh, this is random, 197 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: he said, did Jerick mckinnons slide before the goal line 198 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: screw yourself or Danny g out of a large sum 199 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: of money like it did myself. I needed him to 200 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: score for the final leg of my parlay. Yeah, so 201 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: that that was the famous play. Kansas City was trying 202 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 1: to run out the clock and kick the game winning 203 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 1: field goal. Philadelphia looked like they were allowing him to 204 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: score the touchdown and McKinnon slid down and it was 205 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: the right thing to do, Yeah, but it wasn't the 206 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: fun thing to do with such a good game. Yeah, 207 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: it bothered me more than the penalty, you know, Yeah, 208 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: that's a penalty. Can call it if you want. But 209 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 1: what bothered me was him sliding and then Mahomes dropping 210 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: like a bag of potatoes a couple of times. It 211 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: reminded me of the way the stupid Pro Bowl ended 212 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: with Kirk Cousins. You know the vibe I got from Mahomes, 213 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: I got Lebron James, Steph Curry hamming it up, milking 214 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: an injury, playing to the cameras. That's the vibe. I 215 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: guy like Mahomes is a showman. Yeah, that last drive, 216 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: because there's no way he was hurting that bad and 217 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: he's able to run that well. Yeah, there's a lot 218 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,079 Speaker 1: of embellishment going on. And I'm starting to think that 219 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: initial high ankle sprain. I don't know what he was hurt, 220 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: but it was It was not a high ankle sprayed. 221 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: That's bullshit, because a high ankle sprains a six week injury. 222 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: You don't come back and play at that level. I 223 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: don't care what kind of pharmaceuticals they shoot you up with. 224 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: I'm not buying that. I I've injured my ankle, I've 225 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: had a high ankles, but I know I'm not a 226 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: professional athlete, but I'm not back. Hell, I hurt my knee. 227 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: I know, I'm a middle aged man. I hurt my knee. 228 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: It took me like three months for that thing to 229 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: heal my knee. You know, I I was, I was 230 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: hurting all right. Next up, you have a Hutch from Richmond, Virginia, 231 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: the Great Hutch Rights and he says, hey, Ben and 232 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: Danny g do you guys ever sleep? And Ben, did 233 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: your wife come with you to the Radio Row festivities? Yes? 234 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 1: I was very happy that my wife was able to 235 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: join me with a good time hanging out and she 236 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: got to Actually I didn't know this was even possible. 237 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: And I told her as, I, I can't really get 238 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: you in, you know, you're gonna have to be at 239 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,559 Speaker 1: the hotel. And she's like, okay, I'll do my own thing. 240 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: And then I showed up on that Thursday and I 241 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: ran into Jonas and onus at his wife with him 242 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: and his his kid, and I was like, wait a minute, 243 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: how'd she getting here?

She she was 247 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: able to to take care of that. So that was 248 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: that was pretty cool. She she visited, and as I 249 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: said in the previous podcast, touch, I think the whole 250 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: time I was in Arizona, which was like three days, 251 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: I got about an hour's sleep per day, so I 252 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: got like three hours told, I think I got to 253 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: I got one hour of sleep going there, and then 254 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: two hours of sleep and then that was it while 255 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: I was there. So not not an ideal situation. Next 256 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: up on the mailbag, Kyrie, our guy Kyrie, he's the 257 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: Kyrie we like in Okay. See. He says, Hey, gentlemen, 258 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: my wife has been watching football for with me, rather 259 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: for two years now. It's freaking us. I can't believe 260 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: she's sitting down watching games with me. The question is, 261 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: do your wives watch any sports with you, guys, or 262 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: maybe attend some sporting events live? Since sports are your 263 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: job and very important to all of you guys and 264 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: all of us. I just wondering anyway, As always, much 265 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: love from Kyrie in Okay See. So I'll go first. 266 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: Any Um, my wife does not have the sports gene. 267 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: She's not a sports fan. She will not watch games 268 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: on TV with me. She claims that it's hard to 269 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: keep track of where the ball is. No matter what sport, 270 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: the ball could be the size of the moon, you know. 271 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: But she does like going to games, which seems like 272 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: a good idea until you realize the cost of going 273 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: to the games and it. Does she like watching the 274 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: game in her seat? Or does she like shopping at 275 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: the little memorabilia stands and the food stands? No, my 276 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: wife likes the vibe. She enjoys the you know, the 277 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: energy of the cry out, and she likes the different 278 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: foods you can get that her price gouging you and 279 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: things like that. She's into that as far as the 280 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: actual being a purist of the game and that kind 281 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: of it. Not what about you did your your lady, 282 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: she's into it or no kinda you know. I have 283 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: something similar to Kyrie with football. So my girl really 284 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: loves the Dodgers. She's a baseball fan, so we connected 285 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: with that when we first met baseball with her kids, 286 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: they all grew up on the baseball diamond, so she's 287 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: a baseball mom and her family the Raider fans. But 288 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: she didn't know the ins and outs of NFL football. 289 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: So she's watched football. She's chaired on the Raiders, but 290 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: she doesn't understand all the rules of football. Until two 291 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: years ago she started sitting down watching the games with 292 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: me and I started explaining all the rules to her 293 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: that she wasn't familiar with. And now, Ben, this year, 294 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: this past season was the very first season where she 295 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 1: watched all the games from the beginning of the season 296 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 1: until the Super Bowl, and she was really proud of herself. 297 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: I'm proud of her. That's cool, that's great. And you 298 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: took her to the game. You guys went to veg 299 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: see a game, so that was neat. She got to 300 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: see the famous Chandler Jones ending one of the great 301 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: games that we've seen. Amazing ending to an NFL game. 302 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: You're not gonna get much better than that, certainly not 303 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: for a regular season game. Next up, John from Dallas, 304 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: Texas writes in he says, hey, Ben and Danny g 305 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: when downloading the Fifth Hour podcast, does it benefit you 306 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,479 Speaker 1: guys more to download it from the Fifth Hour page 307 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: or the Ben Maller Show page or does it not 308 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: make any difference.

But the darkness retreat, I'm good on that. 336 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: I don't need that, And I do think going to 337 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: the bathroom would be a problem as far as the 338 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: aim is concerned. And it's hard enough aiming when the 339 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: lights are on. I can't imagine trying to aim without 340 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 1: without any lights on. And the eating, I kind of 341 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: like to look at what I'm eating, you know what 342 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,199 Speaker 1: I'm saying. If I'm Aaron Rodgers, in other words, I 343 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: have his kind of money. I'm going on an ocean retreat, 344 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: a five star ocean retreat. That's what I'm doing. Five stars, baby, 345 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: I'm going to the four seasons. I'm getting room service, 346 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: I'm getting massages, I'm getting happy endings, and that is 347 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: going to clear my mind. Well that's a fair But 348 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,959 Speaker 1: wouldn't you not get the same experience being away from 349 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: civilization if if you were in the middle of the 350 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 1: Mighty Pacific or the Atlantic Ocean and there's no land 351 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: for hundreds and hundreds of miles. Wouldn't that be the 352 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: same environment You are away from the world, you're on 353 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: your own. I know, you know it's different because the 354 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 1: lights up a lie, but the concept of being away 355 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: from civilization and caught up in your own thoughts. If 356 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 1: I'm sitting on a yacht looking out at the ocean, 357 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: I'm thinking I'm wondering what's going on? Or just sit 358 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 1: on a private beach with his money again, he could 359 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: have your level of security you had at Radio Row 360 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 1: and have that slice of beach to himself. Just stare 361 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: out at the ocean and make up your mind on 362 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: where you want to go next.

I could just sit 375 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: there and watch the movie. I didn't have to talk 376 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: to her and all that. It was wonderful.

I try to stay on what used to 476 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: be the one dollar menu, so I can't imagine even 477 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: paying eight dollars total for a meal at somewhere like McDonald's. 478 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 1: But now the minimum wage is fifteen dollars here in 479 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: the Commonwealth, this will only get more expensive.

It's one of the apps it's actually 500 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 1: worth using because every day they have deals and they 501 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: also give your rewards points like all the other ones, 502 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: but their deals every day are actually pretty good. Save 503 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: you a lot of money just ordering ahead on that 504 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 1: app for curbside pickup. Yeah, I've heard the the apps. 505 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: But there's a pain. He's paying one restaurant. You gotta 506 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: have an app for every restaurant. Want to pain in 507 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: the ass? Well, just put the couple in there that 508 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: you go to the most often, and it's pretty convenient, 509 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: especially like on your way into work or something like that. 510 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: You just pull into one of those curbside UH spots 511 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: that they have available to the app customers. I will 512 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: do one more. We'll get out on this. It is 513 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 1: from and all the other people that email them. Sorry, 514 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: but we'll just submit another email for next week. Real 515 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: fifth hour at gmail dot com. Hopefully we'll get it 516 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: on the air next week. Danny from Darry writes in 517 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: and says, hey, Ben and Danny, g. I've enjoyed your 518 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: podcast immensely. Thanks for that. I was thinking about all 519 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: of the wonderful original and parody songs that have been 520 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: created for the Ben Mallor show. I've heard some in 521 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: their entirety, but when they play as rejoins, we get 522 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: just a tantalizing snippet. It would be great if you 523 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: could play them fully on the Fifth Hour podcast, perhaps 524 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: just one each week, maybe at the end of the 525 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: Friday show. Call it something like the Fifth Hour Friday 526 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: fan Fest, and give it a lean in with some 527 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: details and background about the song. People would love hearing it, 528 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: and it might even encourage some more to send them in. 529 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 1: Just the thought. That's from Danny From Danny. We did 530 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: do a podcast two years ago with all the holiday songs. Yeah, 531 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: that was Oh yeah, they're still taking up a lot 532 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: of memory space in my computer here. Yeah, and that's 533 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 1: that sounds like the kind of show if we did 534 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: them all at once. Danny wants one a week, but 535 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: we could do that as an evergreen podcast. Sure, And 536 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: then if we want to take a day away where 537 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: we don't do a new podcast, we can just play 538 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: that the once a week may actually be a really 539 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: good idea something I can look into, because the problem 540 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: right now is disk space. We record a lot of podcasts. 541 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 1: I have hundreds of your show drops, your audio drops 542 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 1: from over the years in my computer. You pay me 543 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: five dollars, I'll endorse a game magazine. I actually don't 544 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: have much room left in this this Apple computer. I 545 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: need a bigger memory bank, man, because in order to 546 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: like have tons of songs like that in store them, 547 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: it would say take up too much space. Yeah, And 548 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,479 Speaker 1: I actually had the same problem on my end because 549 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: I also have a bunch of stuff here for the 550 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: podcast that I've got, And every once in a while, 551 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: usually it's once every couple of months, my phone will 552 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: blow up and my computer, you know, you can't download anything, 553 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 1: you can't get any ill and I'm like, oh crap, 554 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: And then I gotta spend like half an hour an 555 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: hour the leading files to clear space off. These are 556 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: first world problems. These are first they are they are, 557 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: But if you think about it, we don't have endless 558 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: space in our computers that we edit these podcasts on unfortunately, 559 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 1: but you know, Ben, one of the goals is to 560 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: get the company to pay for more hard drive space. Um, 561 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: all about that action, boss, that would be great. From 562 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: your lips to the big boss's ears fired and on 563 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: that man, you want security and now you want hard 564 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: drive space. Well, man, what do you think you're calling? 565 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: Calher Mo? Man? Come on man?
