Speaker 4: They should go back to redskins like logo racist, but

27
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,560

00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 4: The command Oh, I don't like it either. Should be

Speaker 4: the Commandos.

33
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's what they do in their private time,

34
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 3: the Commandos. But they got to come up with a

Speaker 3: I'll try to say hello. So I look forward to that.

39
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 3: I haven't been to a game in like a week

40
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 3: or a couple of weeks. Been a couple of weeks

41
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 3: since I've been been out there schmoozing. But today on

42
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 3: the podcast, it's the mail Bag. Before we get to

43
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 3: the mail bag, though, we must first get to Pop

44
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 3: goes the culture. So let's strike up the band with

45
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: our friend. I hope he's in a better mood now,

46
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 3: our guy, ohio al.

47
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 4: John John.

48
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: So here we go.

49
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 3: Pop goes to the culture as some random stories that

50
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 3: happened within the last week or so. That caught my

51
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 3: attention that we did not mention on my show, The

52
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 3: Overnight Show. So I saw this story that came out

53
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: involving Netflix that's gotten a lot of attention this week.

54
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 3: And Netflix, who has always protected the data on who's

55
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 3: actually watching the show. They've always protected this like it's

56
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 3: a state secret. They don't want anyone to know the information. Well,

57
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 3: now for some reason they've decided, okay, we'll release some

58
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 3: of this information. So I was reading in one of

59
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 3: the trade papers, I think it was a Hollywood reporter.

60
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: They had a big.

61
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 3: Story about it was inside the Netflix data trove, And

62
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 3: so they started snooping around and digging into the grass

63
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 3: and all that stuff into the rough, and they determined

64
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 3: there are ten thousand Netflix programs that almost no one

65
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: watched that are there and nobody almost no one clicked

66
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 3: on it, no engagement, and they just put these shows

67
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: up and but nobody watched them, almost ten thousand shows.

68
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 4: Now is this just so they can have a complete

69
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 4: library of programs available.

70
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 3: I look at it like a good deli, a good

71
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 3: Jewish deli. You go to a good deli, it's you

72
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 3: only have these I don't know. If you've been to

73
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 3: Canters in La. They are massive menu, right, massive manuon

74
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 3: or kind of like the cheese keke Factory, those restaurants

75
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 3: that have massive menus. I'm convinced many of the items

76
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: no one orders that there's It's kind of like the

77
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 3: old thing that you say about cable television, where you

78
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 3: get two hundred channels, but most people only watched like

79
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 3: thirteen or fourteen channels.

80
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: At the most. I think it's even less than that.

81
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: I forget what the number was, but it's like less

82
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: than that.

83
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 3: And so just because you have a lot of variety

84
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 3: does not mean that you're going to be It's impossible

85
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 3: to watch a lot of that stuff anyway. I want

86
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 3: to know what the show that no one watched was.

87
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,559
Speaker 3: There's got to be a They say ten thousand shows

88
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 3: had almost no viewers.

89
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: I want to know the names. They did say.

90
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 3: The Office is still a massive hit, they said outside

91
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 3: the US, people love it globally.

92
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: They can't get enough of the Office, which is off

93
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: the air for many, many years. All right, what is

94
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: next we have?

95
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 3: Well, this is from social media on x Elon Musk

96
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 3: had a hissy fit recently and a bunch of big

97
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 3: corporations said we're done, We're not advertising on your platform.

98
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 3: And so they've estimated now the sports business and sports business,

99
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 3: the business people, not just sports business. They claim that

100
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 3: that move, the advertising pullback, cost Elon Musk's social media

101
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 3: platform one point five billion dollars one point five billion

102
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 3: in lost advertise.

103
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: Mind boggle. But then Elon Musk is worth.

104
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 4: Like what is he worth?

105
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 3: Ten billion or something like some ridiculous amounts, some insane

106
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 3: amount of money.

107
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: What else? On pop gost to culture? How about this one?

108
00:05:54,360 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 3: Somebody on a airplane made his way from Russia to

109
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 3: Los Angeles. The shocking part of this is not the

110
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 3: plane landed from Russia to LA. The shocking part, according

111
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 3: to The Guardian, is this guy did not have a passport.

112
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 3: What Yeah, a Russian man traveled from Europe to LA

113
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 3: without having a passport, flying his own plane. Now he

114
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 3: was flying, he was flying skinned the Navian airlines on

115
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 3: This happened in early November, and according to the tabloid,

116
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 3: the London tabloid, there he was carrying Israeli and Russian

117
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 3: identification and a phone and he had no idea how

118
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 3: he ended up on the flight in the first place.

119
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 4: Say, what something fishy going on here?

120
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 3: Somebody either he's lying or he got drugged or something

121
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 3: like that.

122
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 4: He took a.

123
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: Twelve hour flight and didn't realize what happened.

124
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 4: Remember how Jason Bourne couldn't remember things. Yeah, maybe maybe

125
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 4: this guy's a spy.

126
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 3: Could be guy told the FBI that he's employed in

127
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 3: Russia as a PhD in economics and marketing.

128
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 4: I'm not a numbers guy, but that doesn't seem to

129
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 4: add up.

130
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he is now facing a federal charge of being

131
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 3: a stowaway. Claim to the FBI, he does not remember

132
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 3: the sequence of events leading him on a flight to.

133
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: America.

134
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 3: So all right, I guess he's in a La jail.

135
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 3: That's a federal federal crime. And he's Russian, so not

136
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 3: that he cares.

137
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 4: He won't be in that jail for long. They're going

138
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 4: to break him out.

139
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, he'll be good, he'll be he'll be back in

140
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: Russia before before you know, people waited.

141
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 3: You see how long people were waiting for that in

142
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 3: and out burger in Idaho that opened up.

143
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 4: I would wait for the rush to be over if

144
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 4: I lived there.

145
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: But will the rush be over within the next two

146
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: or three months that that could go on a lot.

147
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna say, you'd probably have to wait

148
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 4: for I don't know, four months for the shiny newness

149
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 4: to wear off a little bit.

150
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: Eh, that's crazy, man. I'm not a line waiter. I

151
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: did when I was younger, but I don't wait on

Speaker 1: to Disneyland.

154
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 3: Are you prepared, Danny to wait online for a long

155
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 3: long time?

156
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: I'm not.

157
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 4: No. We've actually used our ninety three year old grandmother's

158
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 4: handicapped placard before for a theme park.

159

Speaker 4: her so she could sit there like a vegetable and

187
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 4: watch the parades.

188
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: Wonder that's our future.

189
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 4: Wonderful.

190
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: Cannot wait. Anyway, I saw this. Several listeners actually sent

191
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: this story.

192
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 3: A whistleblower claims that a seamless metallic UFO was kept

193
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 3: inside Area fifty one and they said that X rays

194
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: could not penetrate it.

195
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 2: Have big eyes.

196
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, this was just hang out. They had it.

197
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 3: They could press around with it and all that is.

198
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 3: It could not penetrate what was inside this UFO an

199
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 3: area fifty wor key Yeah, soll kinds of crazy crazy

200
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 3: stuff out there. I'm convinced, I've said this before on

201
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 3: this podcast, that the iPhone is alien technology. I am

202
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 3: one hundred percent convinced that that came from recovered spacecrafts,

203
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 3: and that's how it goes.

204
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: Have you been to the Spear? You've not been to the.

205
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 4: Spirit in Vegas, right, we've I haven't.

206
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

207
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 3: So I saw that they're already planning on building MSG,

208
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 3: which owns the Spear, is already planning on making two

209
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 3: more of those around the world, at least two more,

210
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 3: two international markets.

211
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 4: And there's already gotten so much attention. I can see

212
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 4: this being a big hit in other countries.

213
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 1: Yeah. But if they're if they're pop up all over.

214
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 4: The place, then well I don't think it's that easy

215
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 4: obviously for them to pop up, because what did they

216
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 4: spend like two billion dollars to make that thing?

217
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was it was a ton of money.

218
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 3: They were talking about, uh talks MSG would put a

219
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 3: spear in the Abu Dhabi area. Well, they've got that

220
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 3: oil money over there, right, so that's no problem.

221
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: They could use that with interest.

222
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 4: They have that live golf money.

223
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's also talk of putting one in Korea.

224
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 3: I'm guessing not North Korea though, I think just you know,

225
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 3: the regular spot there South Korea, I think.

226
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 4: We'd get that.

227
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: But there you go. A couple of Spears and uh

228
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: saw one of the.

229
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 3: Story who's going to replace the The act is changing

230
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 3: at the Spear here the residency is changing.

231
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's gonna be Carrot Top.

232
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, with Penn and Teller no Ah. John Mayer has

233
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: been linked to the Spear with that. That the reading

234
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 3: for you, right?

235
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 4: Oh way, I don't want to see John Mayer get

236
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 4: out here.

237
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: I have to wait. You don't have to wait to.

271
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 3: He says, has a random thought when I was watching

272
00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 3: my Vikings dominate the Raiders dominate on Sunday with your

273
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 3: podcast could use a note of encouragement. Unlike the Vikings

274
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 3: offense without Kirk Cousins, your podcast never disappoints five stars

275
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 3: only because they don't allow six, and then he wanted

276
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 3: us to promote old miss basketball coach Chris Beard.

Speaker 5: It's mail bag, all right, thank you, ohio Al.

281
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 3: These are actual letters by actual consumers of the product,

282
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 3: people that enjoy the product enough to have sent in correspondence,

283
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 3: which is kind of cool. The first one from Alf

284
00:14:55,880 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 3: the Alien Opiners is Alf from the New Year. He writes, in, gentlemen,

285
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 3: looking in to my crystal ball, it's time.

286
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: It's that time of the year.

287
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 3: It's time of the year when you go into the

288
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 3: ben cave, recharge your batteries and write new rejoin copy

289
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 3: for the show, he says.

290
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: Question one, Will you be using hard words like dingy nexte?

291
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, famous famous story. A number of our coworkers did

292
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 3: not know what a dinghy is. At least they didn't

293
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 3: know how to spell dinghy or pronounce dinghy, which in

294
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 3: many ways made them a dingy. Uh So, yeah, I

295
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 3: try to mix it up. I've been doing these things, Alf,

296
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 3: as you know, you've been with me a long time.

297
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 4: I've been doing.

298
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 3: They do these every year, and if we had a

299
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 3: guy I don't know a producer or something like that

300
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 3: that they would do it, but I ended.

301
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 4: Up doing it. Wait, I thought Coop wrote this stuff.

302
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 3: Hey, yeah, that's the ticket. Yeah yeah, he writes all

303
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 3: of it. He writes to the monologues, the whole thing.

304
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 3: So I do it once a year and I try

305
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 3: to mix it up with different verbiage so it sounds

306
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 3: somewhat fresh at least for the first month, and then

307
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 3: by the end of the year you're ready for new

308
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 3: new words.

309
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: I'm not sure when I'm gonna do that.

310
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 3: I'm not taking as much time off as I have

311
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 3: in the past, a couple of days here and there.

312
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 3: I'm not taking the full week like I have in

313
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 3: the past because I still got to do the TV

314
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 3: show and ALV Also, is this question two for you, gentlemen?

315
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 3: Can you eliminate the part where you ask us to

316
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 3: tag members of the crew in our tweets? Apparently some

317
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 3: members of the Update staff are not fans of that

318
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 3: copy and mute loyal followers as a result. I wonder

319
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 3: who he's talking about things that make you go who hum?

320
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 3: Could that be a Steelers fan he's talking about.

321
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 4: I don't know.

322
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: I have no idea, but thank you, al duly noted nuts.

323
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 4: It rhymes with Freddy Farcia.

324
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 3: Kevin in Kansas, right since, says dear Ben and Danny G.

325
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 3: After watching Patrick Mahomey Patrick mahomes come unglued last week,

326
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 3: it made me reflect on my own fusses go badly.

327
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 3: Sometimes it doesn't take much for my short fuse to

328
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 3: go off. Other times my fuse is really really long.

329
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 3: What is something that happens in your life that will

330
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 3: set you off pretty quick?

331
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: Yeah?

332
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 3: So I usually have one or two meltdowns a year,

333
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 3: and that's it in terms of my fuse is pretty long.

334
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 3: The thing that really annoys me is dumb drivers. I

335
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 3: get really annoyed by that. Lately when I see people

336
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 3: driving alone with their windows up wearing masks. That also

337
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 3: annoys me for some reason, not that I do anything

338
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 3: about it. I'm like, just how stupid could this person be?

339
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 3: It just fascinates me that kind of thing.

340
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 4: Everybody knows you get COVID by driving on the freeway.

341
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 3: Ben, Yes, driving your Toyota with the windows up, you

342
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 3: must wear a mask. It's very very important. So that

343
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 3: just I just roll my eyes. I'm like, what are

344
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 3: we doing here? But people that are bad drivers people

345
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 3: that don't signal.

346
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: When you're driving. I don't mind if you're going to cut.

347
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 3: Me off, but at least signal, you know, at least

348
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 3: signal that kind of stuff.

349
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 4: What about you, Danny, Yeah, I'm like you. I don't

350
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 4: have meltdowns very often. Only once or twice a day

351
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 4: with Cavino, once with Rich when I'm in the nothing

352
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 4: with that show except for their podcast. When I'm in

353
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 4: the production studio and I am putting the podcast together.

354
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 4: For those guys, there's this thing, this platform, this website

355
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 4: where we have to load the podcast to the finished

356
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 4: product to shoot out to the world, and there's times

357
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 4: where when you're using it, it just spins and spins relentlessly.

358
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 4: It will not load. And when that happened, and I

359
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 4: want to go home, I want to have dinner, I

360
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 4: want to see my kid when this is going on,

361
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 4: and I can't leave the studio until I know that

362
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 4: it's posted worldwide. And the same thing happens sometimes with

363
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 4: this podcast. So I sit there and I have to

364
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 4: stare at this thing spinning, and when that happens, I

365
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 4: lose it. I realized that when I was in the

366
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 4: studio on last Thursday, when the Raider game was on.

367
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 4: I wanted to get home so I could see the

368
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 4: second half of the game, and it was doing the

369
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 4: stupid spinning thing, and I took my fist and I

370
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 4: slammed it on the wood table in there.

371
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: Take that for data.

372
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 4: The whole studio shook, and I was like, oh, oh,

373
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 4: I better be careful with these these meltdowns with the podcasts.

374
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 3: That's that's completely reasonable. Those computers with the spinning wheel.

375
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 3: That is like from the Devil's Play, that spinning wheel, right,

376
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 3: I mean.

377
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 4: He's so it is. It is. That is a living hell.

378
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 4: You're right. If God really was the kind of God

379
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 4: who wanted to punish you, he could sit you in

380
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 4: front of an old Macintosh and for forever have a

381
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 4: spinning wheel in front of you on the screen. Yeah.

382
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 3: I also, and we've talked about this, I love when

383
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 3: the system updates happen while I'm on the air in

384
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 3: the middle of the night and I need to use

385
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 3: the computer and I can't use it for forty five

386
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 3: minutes to an hour because it's updating, and you can't

387
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 3: turn it off, and you can't stop it once it starts.

388
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: You're screwed.

389
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 3: Next up on the mailbag, Mike and Fullerton says mule

390
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,480

392
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 3: Japanese at all? There's going to be a lot of

393
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 3: Japanese sponsorship opportunities for you guys, and I'd hate for

394
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,080

Speaker 3: while picking a lowly Charger.

397
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: Game, would be the time to do so.

398
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 3: Well, okay, look at that, Mike, You want me to

399
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 3: promote that Ferg dog guy. Well, the news is here

400
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 3: that the Chargers did not make the show because they

401
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 3: played on Thursday. And we still we have like one

402
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 3: more one or two more airings today on s n

403
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 3: Y and a couple other affiliates. But but duly noted,

404
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 3: have you been brushing up on your Japanese?

405
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 4: Danny there?

406
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: Look at that? That's all you need, you know?

407
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 4: While everybody else is buying the Otani jersey, I to

408
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 4: get the Yamamoto jersey just so I could be different.

409
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: How about did I get that right?

410
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 3: Is that hell Owa racist?

411
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 4: Okay? We did you know that would be a cool

412
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 4: language to learn.

413
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got upset with a Coveno and Rich take

414
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 3: by the way, Danny, I gotta I got.

415
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: Upset with it.

416
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 3: There was a promo that was running where and I

417
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 3: forget which one of the gentlemen was.

418
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 4: Is it Rich saying to work harder?

419
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: Yes? Rich, you saw my flout us, you wanted my

420
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 1: flout us?

421
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 3: Yes, I mean tell me that's a douche take without

422
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, what are you doing?

423
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 4: I think he was trying to push people's buttons with that.

424
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 3: Okay, because you work harder so you can give the

425
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 3: money to the dot.

426
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, you know you work hard. You

427
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: your wife.

428
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 3: Worked harder because you want to go to Disneyland. It

429
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 3: was a family experience and all that stuff. But irregular

430
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 3: season game against I don't know, the Rockies on a

431
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 3: Tuesday night. You got to work an extra job to

432
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 3: afford to go to that.

433
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: Come on.

434
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 4: He ended that more reasonably by saying, would you rather

435
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 4: have a middling pitcher get signed to your team or

436
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 4: would you rather get a superstar and pay an extra

437
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 4: dollar fifty for your hot dog? All right, from that

438
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 4: point of view, I understand. So it's a dollar fifty

439
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 4: more for a dog if I get to see the

440
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 4: best player on the planet. Yeah, only if it's a

441
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 4: dollar fifty. Then if they double the price, that's another story.

442
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 3: Problem is they sign a guy every couple of years,

443
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 3: so they keep adding a dollar fifty and every couple

444
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 3: of years, here's the dollar fifty for Mookie Betts. Here's

445
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 3: a dollar fifty for Freddy Freeman. Here's a dollar fifty

446
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 3: for show. Hey Otani, all of a sudden, we're almost

447
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 3: at five.

448
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 4: Bucks unchallenged Dodger dog.

449
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 3: Though, as good as Otani is, he is not good

450
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 3: for our business. He's not a good SoundBite. He's not

451
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 3: he purposely tries to. He's like, you know, he reminds

452
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 3: me of Kawhi Leonard, what's wrong with your clippers? He

453
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 3: doesn't like talking to the media. He doesn't want to.

454
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 3: You don't really know much about him. We know more

455
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 3: about Kawhi Leonard we do about Otani.

456
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 4: No, you're right about this, because Rob G came in,

457
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 4: who now produces The Odd Couple. One of the editors

458
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 4: walked in and said, do you want any of the

459
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 4: press conference stuff from Otani? And Rob G said no,

460
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 4: it's a translator. And even what the translator is saying

461
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 4: is boring.

462
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you got the translator. That's the first hurdle

463
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 3: you gotta climb. It's like a steeplechase. So that's the

464
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 3: first hurdle. And then the other problem is what he

465
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 3: as you reference what he says Otani is just sportscliche

466
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 3: dot com. He's very polite. He's not a bad person.

467
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 3: He's just a bad SoundBite.

468
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's a good guy, which equals boring in our business.

469
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 4: He's always going to say the right thing.

470
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 3: Like I watched that that news conference, the opening news conference,

471
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 3: and I'm looking for content, you know, I'm going around,

472
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 3: I'm plowing trying to find some content.

473
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 4: Now, Paul George, he's a douchebag.

474
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: How dare you?

475
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 3: So I'm watching this and there was not one thing

476
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 3: that I found even remotely interesting. So my model that

477
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 3: I did was just about how boring O'tani was. It's like,

478
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 3: was like and then that whole bullshit story about oh Tony,

479
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 3: we don't know the name of his dog because his

480
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 3: dog may end up you know, you know, it might

481
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 3: be the team they implied it was like the Dodgers.

482
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: His dog was named Dodds.

483
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 4: Stupid thing with having to find out everybody's name of

484
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 4: their dogerff.

485
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 3: Well, this is his name's decoy. It was decoy. I

486
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,479
Speaker 3: think it was decoy something like that.

487
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: It was just it wasn't a team name, Like, what

488
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 1: the hell? I ain't come on, Uh, what else do

489
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: we have?

490
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 3: Barry from South Carolina rights and he says, yo, yo ma,

491
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 3: Benny and Danny g.

492
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: Or Daddy geez, he calls you, daddy.

493
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 3: I have been watching History channels the Toys that Built America?

494
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 3: And who is on there as an expert commentator none

495
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 3: other than Steve Covino. Why didn't they use Benny and

496
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 3: how how do they choose those commentators?

497
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: Did Danny Gino? Covino was doing.

498
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 3: Are these new episodes or is this the old that's

499
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 3: already aired back in the day?

500
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 4: Oh no, this is the This is the latest season

501
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 4: of that show.

502
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: Is it back on?

503
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's back gone for a new season. Covino has

504
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 4: been a contributor to that show for a while. The

505
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 4: way it started is they had an episode about the

506
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 4: best cars of action shows, so it was like the

507
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 4: a Team Van versus Kit from Night Rider. I guess

508
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 4: the bit was Covino and Rich were on the air

509
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:39,719
Speaker 4: on their Serious XM show in the studio I forget

510
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 4: it was like mister t or somebody like that in

511
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 4: the studio, and David Hasselhoff was used for the bit

512
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 4: riding in his car with Kit and he calls in

513
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 4: to them on the show and they're talking to him

514
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 4: as a caller and he's trying to tell them that

515
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 4: night Rider is the best vehicle from eighties TV. So

516
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 4: these people that run that show, they liked the guys.

517
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 4: They especially like Covino's knowledge of eighty stuff and toys

518
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 4: and stuff like that, and so they've signed him on

519
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 4: to be a contributor.

520
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's cool. I know.

521
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 3: I've done some of those documentary shows, and I think

522
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 3: the first one, the first one I did was The

523
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 3: Sports List with I was her name. She was an

524
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 3: athlete and she hosted the show was on Fox Sports

525
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 3: Network and that thing aired a lot. But what has happened,

526
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 3: like everything else in this business, like you get that

527
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 3: and then that leads to somebody else. One of the

528
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 3: people that work on that show then does another documentary

529
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 3: thing that popped up on a lot of those over

530
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 3: the years. I just did one last year with Peyton

531
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 3: Manning Peyton Manning documentary that was on What was that?

532
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 3: I think the channel went out of business? Actually, uh

533
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 3: was it Vice? Is Vice still around or did they?

534
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I heard they went out of business.

535
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 3: But it was a Vice documentary about football, and so

536
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 3: I got dragged in that and done a few of

537
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 3: those things. But yeah, that's cool. I'm not I did

538
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,479
Speaker 3: not know that show was back. So I will watch

Speaker 3: the toys that they reviewed?

544
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 4: You know, they did a really good episode that we

545
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 4: caught two weekends ago, and it was about board games,

546
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 4: specifically that game, Trivial Pursuit.

547
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, sure, yeah, played that one. I was good. Yeah.

548
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 4: It was really interesting though, to watch these guys come

549
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 4: up with these board games and then make it work,

550
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 4: and then in their garage they put together the first

551
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 4: few hundred of the games and then they had to

552
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 4: go find ways to sell them. Man talk about starting

553
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 4: from zero and then selling millions of them after it

554
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 4: blows up. Great stories, great background to these board games

555
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:04,920

00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: I do have a question for both you, gentlemen.

582
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,520

Speaker 3: to Tijuana, do either of you have a crazy story.

584
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: From a trip there.

585
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 3: Most of us that grew up there pre nine eleven

586
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 3: had some wild times down there.

587
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: I love the show and podcast.

588
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 3: Also, just to rub it in since I am now

589
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 3: living in I'm from Newsom's California, but I live in

590
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 3: northern Kentucky now. I paid at two dollars and sixty

591
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 3: three cents per gas this week.

592
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got gas.

593
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 3: I think on Thursday after we recorded the TV show

594
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 3: and I thought I was getting a deal.

595
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: It was like four to twelve. I thought, boy, this

596
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: is cheap at four to twelve.

597
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 4: Gap where I live. I thought I was getting a

598
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 4: great deal. When it was five oh five.

599
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: God, I've noticed with I love Costco.

600
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 3: I mostly get gas at Costco and even City to

601
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 3: See because that's where I live. There's like there's like

602
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 3: three Costcos that are kind of near where I live,

603
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 3: so I have three options, but they all the prices

604
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 3: are not the same because they add I guess there's

605
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 3: city different city tax.

606
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: That some cities have. I think.

607
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 3: I think that's why it's more expensive in certain places.

608
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 3: So you got to go on your stupid phone to

609
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,959
Speaker 3: find out who's got the cheapest price of gas.

610
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: What a pain in the Bible.

611
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 3: As far as Tijuana, uh, you know, my my Jewish

612
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 3: mother told me as a kid to never go to

613
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 3: Trijuana because you'll never come back, and blah blah blah

614
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 3: blah blah. Sure she instilled the fear, the fear in

615
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,239
Speaker 3: me of not going to Tijuana. So even if I

616
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 3: worked in San Diego when I was of age to

617
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 3: enjoy all that in fort nine to eleven, I did

618
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 3: not go to Tijuana at that time in my life

619
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 3: when I worked at the mighty six ninety, mostly because

620
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 3: my mom thought I would be kidnapped by vigilantes and

621
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 3: that would be the end. Because you know, of course

622
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:23,719
Speaker 3: you kidnap the massive, tall, weird, fat guy. That's who

623
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 3: you're kidnap. So what about you, Danny, any Tijuana stories

624
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 3: from your younger days.

625
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 4: No, but I did do some DJ gigs in my

626
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 4: early twenties in other parts of Mexico, like next to the.

627

Speaker 1: Water port of i Order or something like that, port.

628

Speaker 4: Of Iarta Cobbos and Lucas nice. Yeah, some really good

629
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 4: spots where people would have weddings and then I would

630
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 4: DJ the wedding reception, get spoiled and lay in the

631
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 4: sun and haint a lot of money, eat lots of seafood,

632
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 4: and then come back home with E coli.

633
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: Ben Oh, wonderful. Yeah.

634
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,239
Speaker 4: I had that experience in my early twenties where I

635
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 4: came back from Cabo very sick. I ended up in

636
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 4: the emergency room because I had E coli from their

637
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 4: wonderful water there in Mexico. And let me tell you,

638
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 4: I've never rushed back there since that experience.

639
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that sounds sounds driff of my My wife, her,

640
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 3: her grandfather who passed away a couple of years ago, Luigi.

641
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 3: She said, when the family would go to Mexico, Luigi, Uh,

642
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 3: you know, the Italian guy from you know, Authentic from Italy,

643
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 3: and he would take a suitcase filled with nothing but water.

644
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: That's all he did.

645
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 3: He had like two pairs of clothes and everything was

646
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 3: just water.

647
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: It's it, you know, Ben.

648
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 4: I got sick from their water, but not by drinking it.

649
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 4: It was a really hot day that I was djaying,

650
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 4: so I was going into the resorts restroom, and I

651
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 4: kept splashing my face with cold water, and the water

652
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 4: got into my pores that way, So you get sick

653
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 4: without even drinking the water. By showering or putting the

654
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 4: water on you, you could still get sick.

655
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 3: It's fascinating that the people in Mexico obviously don't get

656
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 3: sick because they're used to it. But here in the States, like, God,

657
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 3: you go there, it's like it's everyone's nightmare.

658
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: Going to Mexican.

659
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 4: You what are you doing? Anyway, maybe we should, That's

660
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 4: what we've all chosen to go to Hawaii for our

661
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 4: vacations ever since.

662
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: Oh why is amazing?

663
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,399
Speaker 3: What about Baja California? Is the water terrible there in

664
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 3: Baja California?

665
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 4: That's a good question. I don't know.

666
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 3: I'll have to ask our friend, the surfing comedian Todd

667
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:44,200
