So where do we begin? 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.720 We do have mail Kansas Rites and Kevin a loyal 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:06.240 minion of the Fifth Hour podcast and it's many different 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:11.080 variations over the over the years. Kevin says, Dear Ben 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.920 and Danny G. When you were both in high school, 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.840 do you wish you had all the technology students have 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:23.680 today or are there throwback elements you wish we'd still 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:28.760 use today? Signed Kevin there in Kansas. Well, not not 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.640 to get romantic, but you know, I think I'm a 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:33.600 product of how I grew up. I'm a product of 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:37.240 having to cheat the old fashioned way and not having Wikipedia, 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:41.640 having to go get cliff notes or find other nefarious 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:47.880 means to find the answers to the test. And so yeah, 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.160 I don't know how the kids do it today. It's great, 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:53.280 you're in you're in classrooms, Danny, You're you're around kids 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:56.240 and whatnot. But no, I like that. I like the 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:59.200 way I grew up, and you know, looking back, it's 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:01.400 it's crazy. It's like the Stone Age, and you know, 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.080 twenty years from now it will also today will be 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.760 like the Stone Age. It's crazy how that works now, 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:10.520 you're right. Pe Teachers even tell the kids today bring 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.720 your chrome books and your headphones. Oh I know the 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:16.640 chrome phone, kid. Yeah. The kids live and die by 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:20.360 their chromebooks. Very interesting compared to what we were doing now. 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:24.599 We had computer labs obviously, yes, yes, yes, remember it 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:27.520 was like once a week or twice a week you 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:29.400 got to go into the computer lab. It was like 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:32.960 a big deal. And they had these archaic games. They 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:37.320 they're educational games that they would allow you to play, 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.440 and looking back, they were like the worst games imaginable. 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:42.800 Video games were starting to get a little bit better 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.320 when you and I were in high school. When we 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:48.000 were little kids, Oh my god, I mean talk about 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:53.440 stick figure graphics and basic computer programs. So high high 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.640 school it was c D decks that came out in 0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.840 our radio station were nice. They had a nice mix 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.760 board inside the high school radio station. So the equipment 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:08.279 was improving, but the human interaction was very much analog. 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:12.640 Instead of being on social media and getting requests and dedications, 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:16.240 those things were handed to me on paper. You had 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:19.719 to hand that personally to the DJ. Well, remember we 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.480 used to do the facts of the day, you know, 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:25.240 and that was like whoever would send faxes in? It 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:27.600 was like that was a big deal. And yeah, a 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:31.400 lot of the contesting on radio stations in the nineties 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.560 was done through fax machines. Even in high school, we 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:38.279 had did you have type? I learned to type on typewriter? No, 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:40.640 I did not. I guess you're you're you're a little 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:43.160 younger than me. But we had we had typewriter class 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:46.560 to learn how to type. And they did have they 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:49.680 had shop where you actually used saws. Do they still 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:53.800 do that? That's a great question, because I did have 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:57.560 wood shop, and I had R. O. P. Electronics and 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.640 I had R. O P. Wood Shop my last year 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.080 of high school, which was great. I mean, we used 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:06.640 the lathe and we made baseball bats and stuff. And 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.080 your teacher would show you like he cut off his 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.279 pinky or something like that, and you know, you don't 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.039 be careful, And I wonder, I don't know. I don't 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.080 think they do that anymore. I bet they don't. I 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:17.880 bet they got rid of that because if I mean, 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:21.320 we had all the famous kickback stories too, where you'd 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.480 be using the table saw that when in crooked it 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.680 would kick back. And yeah, I always warned you because 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.840 that piece of wood would go right through your stomach. Now, 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.240 just to answer Kevin further, I think I would be 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:35.560 a much better student today because I was a I 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:37.760 was a master at you know, having a little bit 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.440 of an advantage from time to time. There's so many 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:44.960 there's like ten thousand different ways to push the rules, 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:50.440 push the boundaries, right gamesmanship with with the technology today 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:54.960 and yeah, I mean cheese, But I'm I like the 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:57.760 way I grew up the you know, that's that was 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.000 what I knew at the time, and I can only 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:02.880 imagine what the world is gonna be like years and 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:07.720 years from now. Fred from Spring Texas Rights and he says, 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.400 you always say that you are at the bottom of 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:14.480 the totem pole at Fox, Ben because you do overnights. 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:18.040 Is this really true? He says, your longevity at the 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:21.760 network seems to make this claim suspect. What really is 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:25.720 your status? Well, no, Fred, it's more of a a 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:30.160 way that radio works. I am doing the overnight show. 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.840 We are on more affiliates than Colin Cowhard, who's the 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:37.160 star of Fox sports radio, Dan Patrick. But we're on 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:40.360 in the middle of the night, and so there are 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:44.520 fewer people that listen to the radio in the middle 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:46.720 of line. And the way that advertising was there's there's 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:50.360 really two different radio stations. Fred. The way that it 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:56.640 works six am to six pm. That is the most 0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:01.400 important part of a radio station. That is the part 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:06.560 of the radio station where yeah, I mean it is 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:09.520 you're you're making your money, and that's where the big 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:13.760 advertisers are, you know. It's that kind of thing. And 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:17.680 like day rates, that's like paying for a hotel on 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:21.160 a Friday or a Saturday night exactly. And and then 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:26.520 there's radio from six pm. Yeah, like a like a 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:30.920 hotel on a Tuesday night. Yeah, it's uh, it's a hotel. 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:33.560 There's a lot of vacancies, a lot of vacancies. And 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:36.760 that's just the way that radio works now. I personally 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:38.960 think radio I'm a little biased. I think radio is 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:40.599 better at night than it is during the day. I 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:43.839 think it's more Radio is a very personal communication. I 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.600 think when you're listening at night, you buy yourself you're lonely. 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:50.040 To me, that's a better experience than during the day. 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:54.560 But I'm biased obviously because I've done mostly nights and overnights. Uh, 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.240 And I think you can be more of a clown. 0:08:56.360 --> 0:09:00.400 You know, you can really just goof around more at 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:04.000 night and the bosses aren't around, and you can kind 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:07.559 of let your hair down a little bit. Um. But 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.680 but the reason Fred I say that is is basically 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:14.400 based on the advertising. And you know, like I said, 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:17.360 six am to six pm is one radio station and 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:19.600 six pm to six am. And part of the reason 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:23.640 is we're on, uh, Danny, you know, the night shows, 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:29.160 all of the night weekend programming is is cleared because 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.160 a lot of local radio stations, unfortunately, and I wish 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.000 this was not the case, even though I do syndicated radio. 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.719 I wish there was more local radio. But a lot 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.000 of radio stations to save money just you know, they 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:43.560 turn it on Fox Sports Radio, so we benefit from that. 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:48.040 But you know, it's given take. It's given take. So anyway, 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:53.280 thanks for that, Fred in Spring Texas. Now, Ozzy Momentum says, hey, 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.280 Ben and Danny g I have recently made the decision 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.680 to shave my head. Us relates to what we talked 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:04.240 about yesterday. Uh. He says, it has the genetic lottery 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:07.960 has deemed inappropriate to do so, so as a fellow 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:13.320 follically challenged individual, How dare you, Assy Momentum, He says, 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.920 I was wondering if you can provide any tips or 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.439 things I should know aside from where a hat all 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:21.160 the time. Cheers Ozzy Momentum. Well, I have really nothing 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.280 to add. I mean, maybe Danny, you know something you 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.040 can add here. But you guys, I just talked about 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:29.200 this yesterday as E went. I just last week my 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.800 my bride convinced me to trim my hair down to 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:36.800 a one, which is hardly anything. I'm like on my 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:40.800 way to baldom. Uh. But but no, I don't know. 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:42.760 I mean, any other tips, Dandy, that you can give 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:46.960 somebody you My my buddy from elementary school is bald. 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:50.920 He he has to shave his head like every morning. 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:53.679 Though it's like a hole. It's a hole to do 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.440 because you once you shave your head fully, right, I 0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:59.920 think the rules are you don't wanna, you know, just 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:03.040 have a little stubble because it doesn't look good, right, Yeah, exactly, 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:06.120 it's a whole another thing to keep up. And let's 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:08.880 be honest, some of us have beards because we hate 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:12.560 all that crazy maintenance, although you still have to shave 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:15.440 around the beard. But yeah, I mean. I have a 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:20.120 friend from middle school who posted on Facebook recently because 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.800 he shaved his head and there were some comments with 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:26.960 people making jokes and laughing. His reply was, Michael Jordan's 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:30.559 holding a trophy. I loved it. That's good. Yeah, I 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:33.440 would do too, man, Michael Jordan's made it one of 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.880 the best hairstyles. Yeah, yeah, I know what it is. 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:40.000 It's tease their own. I mean I don't. I didn't 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.600 have a problem with my hair, but you know, it's 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.840 one of those things. It's like you get older and 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:50.840 as Aussi Momentum said, the genetic lottery, you have no 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:55.000 control over that, right, that's uh, that's your DNA, and 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:58.240 what's your parents and your grandparents and everyone before you 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.679 what they gave you and you're you're supposed to deal 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.280 with the cards you're dealt, right, Play, play with the 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:08.240 cards you're dealt. I think that's how that goes, all right? 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.880 Who is next year? It's the mail bag. These are 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:16.360 actual questions by actual listeners to the show. I got mail, Yeah, 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:22.080 I got mail, YEA very exciting Pierre from Springfield, mass 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:26.800 Home of the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame where you 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.240 can see Muffett McGraw and a bunch of other like 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:34.160 Russian coaches and players you've never heard of. Anyway, Pierre 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:38.040 says Ben, and Danny g I says Ben, which happens first? 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:40.959 This is for me. He says, you eat a pickle 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:46.800 or you drink a cup of coffee? Yeah, so I 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:50.760 I would say, that's a great question, Pierre. I would 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.280 go out and claim. I mean, I think the claim 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:57.400 would be the pickle would probably be more likely than 0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:00.120 a cup of coffee, because I think the car f 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.480 thing is cooler to talk about. Like, nobody cares that 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:07.280 I haven't eaten a pickle, Like I've smelled pickles, but 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.760 like I could, I could, and I go eat a 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:12.960 pstrawamy sandwich. They give you pickles, you know, you go 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:16.640 to Canters in l A or Langer's Day, they give 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:19.360 you a pickle. So I could eat a pickle. I 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:20.920 could take a bite of a pickle. I don't like 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.760 the texture that I don't like the way it feels, 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:26.080 the sliminess of the thing that I don't like that. 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.000 I would be more inclined to do that than have 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:32.600 a cup of coffee. They says for Dan G he 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:36.720 says important question from Pierre. He says, thumbs up or 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:42.040 thumbs down on pickles. What is your pickle position, Danny G. See, 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:45.800 I like pickles, but I don't like those sweet ones. 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:48.960 And you don't really know what I'm talking about, Banner. No, 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:50.640 And I do not know what you're talking about. No, 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:53.280 I've no pickle knowledge. Yeah, they have these bread and 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:57.800 butter pickles. There's the classic pickle. Um the pickle they 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:00.439 served with lunch stand which is is good dope. And and 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:04.240 and if it's a crunchy pickle and it snaps, that's 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:07.480 a good pickle to have with lunch. Supposed to snap 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:09.400 like a hot dog. You know, a good hot dog 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:12.600 snaps a little bit. Well, I think in this case 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:16.000 it would snap more like a carrot stick. Those pickles 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:19.000 are delicious when they're thinly sliced and placed on a 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:23.920 hamburger like a wendy'sburger, that's also delicious. So there's different 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:29.520 layers to the pickle. Now. Pierre famously sent a massive 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:34.480 box of pickle related products to Fox Sports Trader because 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:39.920 because Eddie hates pickles and I'm anti pickle, he sent 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:45.600 like pickle, potato chips, pickle beverage, like everything. Pierre is 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:50.680 an amazing fan of the pickle. In fact, I think 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.000 Pierre is behind He's trying to set me up to 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:56.280 throw out the first pitch at a minor league game 0:14:56.480 --> 0:15:01.800 in Portland, Oregon, the Portland's Pickles UH minor league team. 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.640 But and isn't that kind of an odd thing to 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:08.160 be obsessed with? It kind of is and that classic 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:10.720 I was thinking about. That's the dial and then the 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:14.360 sweet pickles are those bread and butter. Don't get confused 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:16.920 because sometimes in the store, in that aisle, you'll just 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:20.400 grab some pickles for your lunch sandwiches, and then you 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:22.520 put them in and or you taste one before you 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.120 make your sandwich and it's sweet, and you're like, what 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.400 the hell did I buy? And then you look and 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:29.840 it says bread and butter on on it, and you're like, 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:32.880 damn it. I wanted the dial totally foreign to me 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:34.960 that I had no idea there were this many types 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:38.200 of pickles. I had no concept of this. This is 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:41.240 blowing me away. The only pickles I've really consistently seen 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:43.880 are when I go to Deli's and I get a 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:47.480 pastrami sandwich or a roast whatever it might be, porn beef, 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:50.440 and they put they put the pickle out there, and 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:53.720 I never eat them. I smell them occasionally, but I 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:55.840 don't eat them. That's the only pickle I've ever seen. 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.080 I've never seen a different pickle. Have you ever been 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:00.080 to a county fair and you see a woe and 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:03.320 holding one of those huge fried pickles. I have seen that. Yeah, 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.240 because everything's deep fried. And what kind is that pickle? 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:10.240 That's the bad kind? I'm not sure what's under that breading. 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:13.120 Because I would never eat a fried pickle. I would. 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:16.400 I would eat a fried pickle because it's fried. Man, 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:19.400 Come on, everything fried tastes good. There's it's Homer Simpson 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:24.240 taught me that if it's fried, it's it's good. No, No, 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:27.360 I don't know about a fried pickle. And there's also 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:30.400 an old myth about women not supposed to be eating 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.560 a lot of pickles. Have you ever heard that? Uh? 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:37.040 Why maybe I have, but refresh my memory. Why should 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:40.960 they not eat a lot of pickles? The supposedly, pickles 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:46.680 do not mix well with a woman's chemical balance cycle, 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:50.000 if you will something to that effect. And I don't 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:52.600 know if that's true, but that's an old wives tale. 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:56.760 I've never never if you see a woman eating tons 0:16:56.760 --> 0:17:00.120 of pickles, I remember hearing that story as a it 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:04.840 and I'd be like, why is she eating so many pickles? Wow? Alright, 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.639 who knew you? You live and learn? All right? Who's 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:12.760 next year? Alright? Come back? It's sign the mail call. Yeah, 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:15.600 we're doing the mail call. This next one from Barry 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:19.560 in Nashville. Now, Danny, you can't see this, but he 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:25.280 has sent a box of pop tarts and they claim 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:28.680 to be ranch dressing flavor. He says, Yo, yo, Ma, 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:33.040 Benny and Danny, g. This is not a real product, 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:37.760 but I know how much you love ranch dressing, so 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:40.160 I had to send this to you. Looks yummy unless 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:43.159 it doesn't. How many boxes should we sent? Do you 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:45.760 want a ranch dressing pop tart? If you can actually 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:48.400 find one? Would you? Would you eat that? Danny? Would 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:52.080 you partake in the devil's blood in the pop tart format? 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:56.480 That does not sound tasty to me. I love ranch 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:59.879 on a good salad. I love dipping pizza and ranch. 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:07.160 I love ranch for chicken nuggets. Boo oh, man, nugget ranch. 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:11.000 There's nothing like it, Ben is blasphemy. You go barbecue 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:15.280 ranch honey mustard, barbecue ranch honey mustard, and you rotate 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:19.520 with those dips. You stay away or else. That's it. 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:24.439 You're really testing the boundaries. You're wearing a Lakers shirt 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:27.560 and you got I mean, then you love the ranch dressing. 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:30.800 I mean, come on, man, what are you doing over here? 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:32.960 You know? I mean, come on, don't be that guy. 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:35.119 You're not that guy. You're not that guy. Trust me, 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:40.320 you're not that guy. Man. Hashtag winning? Yeah, okay, how's 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:43.879 Russell Westbrook working? Actually are your Clippers doing? They're far 0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:46.480 about the same record as the Lakers have. Anybody, Oh, 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:50.320 that's a great accomplishment. Yeah, I supposedly. I mean, I 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:52.800 love I love your boy. Brian Finley. By the way, 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:56.600 when I was working Network last weekend, Brian was like, 0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:00.359 as a Clippers fan, I love seeing the Lakers strong going, 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:02.719 and he was going on this whole diet tribe about 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:06.400 how bad the Lakers were. Yeah. I turned my microphone 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:08.679 on and I'm like, hey, Brian, uh, look at the 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:11.080 west right now. And he looked for a second. I'm like, yeah, 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:14.320 same record, buddy, Well but that's more embarrassing for the 0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:16.520 Lakers than is the Clippers. Kai hasn't played a game. 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:20.399 You guys are superior according to you, though, well they 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:24.120 do own l A. The Clippers run l A clearly 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:29.320 and literally. All you Laker historians are upset about the Clippers. 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:31.480 I heard the Lakers were so old that they would 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:34.080 be lucky to have ten wins right now. So they're 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:37.920 doing okay, just keep having Wrestle Westbrook shoot. I think 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:40.320 you need more of him shooting from the outside, especially 0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:42.920 in the fourth quarter of a close game. Anyway, what's 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:45.840 still wrong with your all? Right? What's that? What is 0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:49.879 still wrong with the Clippers? Nothing? That's we don't even 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:53.440 play that. We don't play that anymore. We moved Roberto 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:56.879 better play those drops still, David in Boston and uh, 0:19:57.080 --> 0:20:00.920 he didn't call the show anymore. Terry in England, right so, 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:02.879 and he says, Benn and Damny g I hear some 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:07.680 of the shows regular drops and catchphrases let's get into it, 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:12.600 for example, being used by some podcast posts. He says, 0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:15.840 it's clearly obvious that they listen to you. They use 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:21.080 the same emphasis and annunciation. He says, as a pronunciation, Uh, 0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:26.120 do you hear others using them. That's from Terry in England, 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:30.520 and Terry, I don't. I try not to consume too 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:32.480 much other stuff because I want to do my own thing. 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:35.280 And I know when I listen to other people sometimes 0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:39.440 all end up kind of cherry picking things, and I 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:42.960 I want to make this as unique as it can be. 0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:46.520 And so when I when I listened to more other 0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:50.040 you know, other shows and whatnot, I end up uh 0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:53.840 either intentionally, it's not really intentionally, it's like unintentionally, you know, 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:56.639 here's something so, well, maybe that'll work, And then I 0:20:56.720 --> 0:20:59.119 try not to do that. But I have been told 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:02.520 by by listeners Terry, that there are a number of 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:05.760 people that do this that apparently like the show. I 0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:08.560 I do know from friends of mine that I've made 0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:10.760 that we were pretty popular with a lot of East 0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:14.040 Coast morning shows. That a lot of the morning guys 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:16.600 who are getting ready prepping for their show will listen 0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:20.520 to our show, and I am I've heard that. A 0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:24.159 few hours later you'll hear something that we did repackaged. 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:27.280 But you know, hey, that's fine. You know it's isn't 0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:31.359 that the highest form of flattery, Danny, the highest it's 0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:33.439 supposed to be. I would say the highest form of 0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:37.040 flatteries when you get paid a commission because you think 0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:40.680 your idea. Yeah, that that part, I don't like that part. 0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:42.680 I do not like that. They make a lot more 0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:45.720 money doing a morning drive show than I do doing 0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:48.760 an overnight show and they're doing the material that we 0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:50.520 we did. That that bothers me a little bit. I 0:21:50.560 --> 0:21:51.840 want to spend you know what I want to when 0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:54.000 I hear that, I want to sing the Spider Pig songs. 0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:59.040 What I want to do. Pek does whatever spider Peek 0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:04.720 does any thing from a web. We can't. He's a pig. Look, 0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:12.239 he is. Any reason to play that, Danny, I love it. 0:22:12.320 --> 0:22:15.840 I can't get enough of It makes everything better. You 0:22:15.960 --> 0:22:19.360 can't help but not smile when you hear Homer Simpson 0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:23.760 doing the Spider Pig speaking of Mallard catchphrases and drops 0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:26.399 something you can't hear ben because it's done during my 0:22:26.480 --> 0:22:29.600 post production. Yeah, here and there. I've been able to 0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:34.119 sprinkle in some classic Mallard drops, like old school, like 0:22:35.240 --> 0:22:40.800 all right, that's good. I think that's turned on. I 0:22:40.880 --> 0:22:43.920 like it, all right, Who's next? This is actual male 0:22:44.040 --> 0:22:49.160 from actual listeners mail Dave listener. Dave writes and he says, hey, 0:22:49.200 --> 0:22:56.480 Ben and Danny, g do you ever notice the NFL cheerleaders? 0:22:56.680 --> 0:23:00.800 If you do, is there a favorite group of NFL cheerleaders? 0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:03.080 Do you think cheerleaders will go away with the me 0:23:03.280 --> 0:23:08.639 too movement? Or will something else kill the practice? Seems 0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:11.199 really weird to me when they become visible on the 0:23:11.200 --> 0:23:14.880 TV broadcast, which is so rare now. That is from 0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:18.240 Dave in parts unknown. So as far as the whole 0:23:18.240 --> 0:23:20.159 me too movement, I think what they've done, rather than 0:23:20.200 --> 0:23:23.160 get rid of cheerleaders is they've just added dudes. That 0:23:23.840 --> 0:23:27.800 number of teams have added men. There are male cheers 0:23:28.359 --> 0:23:33.760
