• 0:09
  Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He

  Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

  Speaker 1: Game seven in the NBA, the last game of the
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: conference finals, the final piece to the puzzle.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: The two best words in all of sports.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: They try not to f it up. Oklahoma City at
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: home against the Denver Nuggets. I just want a more
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: competitive game than we got back on Friday night when
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: the Knicks led by as many as forty one points
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: and absolutely vaporize the Celtics. So I just want a
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: game that's within within six points going to the fourth quarter.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I want a game with five minutes to go in
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the game. That's anyone's game. That's what I want. And
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: let's see who does not ride the vomit comet who
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: rises to the occasion. That would be wonderful. That's what
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I would like to see. Well I get that, probably
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: not well, we probably won't get it, but I'd like
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I'd like that to happen. That would be very cool
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: for a game seven to come down to the very end.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: It is National No Dirty Dishes Day today, so celebrate appropriately.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: And a fun fact on that the beginning of porcelain
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: plates six hundred a d. Chinese porcelain plates. The Chinese
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: started making porcelain in six hundred a d. And it
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: wasn't until the seventeen hundreds. Seventeen oh eight the process
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: of making pottery was discovered by some dude in Germany
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: and that led to the creation of European pottery. So
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: they stole it from the Chinese and they then made
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the European pottery and it wasn't for another one hundred
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and fifty something years after that. The paper plate was
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: invented in eighteen sixty seven. So just think in the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Middle Ages they didn't have paper plates. And in the
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Middle Ages, Nanny, they didn't know they were in the
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Middle Ages. They just thought they were just living their life.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: They didn't realize it was the Middle Ages. They had
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: no idea.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: You got to argue.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Two paper plates one of the best inventions ever, because
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: that's what can keep your stink dish free.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm the dishwasher. I don't mind. I do complain
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: to my wife sometimes because I tell her when she's
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: cooking and we split the cooking. But when she's cooking,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: she thinks she's a television chef. You know, on television, Danny,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: they don't worry about dirty dishes because someone else does
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the dishes. So they'll do seven to eight plates, you know,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: silverware up the wazoo. They don't give a crap. They
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: don't give a crap. So the the top two dishes,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: little little dirty dish trivia for you, Danny.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Top two dishes Americans eat to avoid doing dishes. One
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: of them is.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Obvious, Yeah, obviously pizza because you eat it with your hands.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Exactly pizza. What's number two, though, udeo hot dogs, no
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: French fries. French fries is not followed by chicken wings, tacos,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and hamburger. So those hot dog only got two percent
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: of the vote. I don't know why one we get
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: two percent of the vote. Egg roll got more of
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the vote. Egg roll Burrito's on here. Burrito makes sense?
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: I think hot dog and hamburger homemade dinners were more
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: of a thing back in the eighties and nineties when
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: we were kids. Nowadays, people aren't big on giving their
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: kids hot dogs unless you're at a ballgame. People who
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: are more into the what are the healthy, grilled, salthier items?
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, do you know what's in a hot dog? You
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: want to hear how they're made? Shut up, stop ruining everything.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I hate to tell you everything you eat is going
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: to kill you. So anyway, all right, we have the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: mail bag, Danny, are you prepared for the mail bag?
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Let's go.

  Speaker 1: the show, so if you want to check that out
• 5:55

  Speaker 1: I have nobody. We don't have a list to any
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: there's no RSVP. People don't sign up to show up.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: And even when people say they're gonna be there, like
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I've had a bunch of email from people say oh, yeah,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be there, stuff happens. You got stuff going
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: on in your life. Sometimes you say you're gonna be somewhere,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: you don't show up.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: So just make sure you tell Lorena to bring an
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: empty suitcase with her so she could bring all her
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: gifts back home.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Well I'm not getting she'll get everything. Yeah,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I got it. Without Lorena, we wouldn't get any mail
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. Next up, Tony and the Bay Right.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Now, I made you a mug and pottery class.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Tony the Bay says, Hey, Ben and Danny those years
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: the Rams were in Saint Louis, were you ever a
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Bears fan? And if not, why the fuck not? As
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Tony the Bay and Danny G Radio, have you ever
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: disowned a team? Now, Tony's a big Chicago Bears fan, Tony,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I was not a Chicago Bears fan. Well, technically I
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: was not a Bears fan. There were points I was
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: a Bears fan because when the Rams left to go
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: to Saint Louis what I did. My move, I'd pivoted.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I said, Okay, I'm going to be a fan of
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: no team, but I'll be a fan of every team.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is, I will just
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: base this off my money who I'm betting on and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: for that particular game, that's who I'm pulling for. So
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: in a way, I was a Bears fan Tony, although
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: not someone with merch and all that stuff. Now, Danny,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: you just experienced a few years ago the Raiders relocating.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: But you went to a Raider game in Vegas last year,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to assume the position that you've never
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: left a team behind, You've never disowned a team. Is
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: that accurate?
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: That's accurate. Never.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: And the thing is, we knew Vegas was gonna be
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: like a West Coast hub for the Raiders because how
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: many Raider fans really lived in the city of Oakland.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: A ton of Raider fans all throughout the West Coast.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: That's why it was okay when the Raiders moved.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough. I was on a flight from l
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: A to actually from the Burbank Airport to to Oakland
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: when the Raiders, when they left LA to go back
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: to Oakland. Yeah, I was on a Southwest flight and
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: it was nothing but Raider fans, including the guy the
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: at the time, he was like the most famous Raider fan,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the black dude that wore the shoulder pads with the spikes.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: You know, the guy.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm talking about Violator.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I don't remember his name, but yeah, his.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: Name is Violator. He's still he's still. Uh he has
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: tickets from Vegas. Yeah, he's in Vegas.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Well I was on a plane with him and to
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: There was a Raiders Seahawk game in Oakland at the
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Colisseum there, and I remember that was like, that was
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the guy. I remember remember other famous I guess famous
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Raider fans, but that was the one that was on it,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: so you've not just on it.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: There were such fun flights Bend because you could feel
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: the excitement on the plane. It was such a game
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: day feeling, even when you were high in the sky
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: and a lot of a lot of the passengers were
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: high from drinking before they even got on the plane.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: But I remember not only the drinking and the party
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: atmosphere on the plane, but one guy walked on with
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: his one carry on item and it was a Weber
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: barbecue grill in its box.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: That's great.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: It was obviously planning on barbecuing in the you know,
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: the Colisseum's parking lot prior to the game, even though
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: he was flying up.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. My memory of that is not only the violator
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: guy and just nothing but raider fans, but even the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: flight crew at Southwest. They would get on the PA
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: and they would in There was like rhythmic chanting on
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the plane. Like the people, the flight attention.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: Yes, they were into it.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: They were like, this is fun.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah time.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was great.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: I remember the flight attendant would get on the intercom
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: and lead the raids.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was pretty cool. And I'm not a raider
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: fan or anything like that, but it was fun. It
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: was a great environment. And then the raiders will go
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: out and lose, but it was a fun environment. You know,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: people were into it.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: How dare you actually? Ben?
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: I got to see the Gruden years and the rich
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Gannon years, so there was some winning, even though there
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: was a lot of losing leading up to that.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: All right. Next up, Mark from Venice rites in and says, hey,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Ben and Danny. President Trump took some shots of celebrities
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: this week, which one is more accurate? It says Mark
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: from Venice, I love the podcast yet, and then he says,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I guess Trump called Bruce Pringsteen a dried out prune
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and Taylor Swift no longer hot. Uh. Yeah, that's political,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: mom man, that's the third rail.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: Mom man.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Let's see here now, Taylor Swift, Danny is not my
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: type of woman.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: Per se.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I feel like she needs to eat more food.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she's not voluptuous enough.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Exactly, so she's that. I don't think she was ever
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: really hot to me, you know, but that's a lot
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: of people think she's beautiful and wonderful and all that.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: So you don't like to floss your teeth with your women.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: No, I want to no. Uh.
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: And I don't know.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I Bruce Springsteen. I like some of his old music,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: but I don't I have not seen him in a
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: long time. I don't know he's old. How old is
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Bruce Springsteen?
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: Is he in his eighties?
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: He's got to be in his eighties.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: He's one hundred and five.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so he probably is a dried out prune, I
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: would think, right, because I don't know. I mean, you
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: get old, that's what happens. You know, if you're lucky
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: enough to get old, if you're blessed enough to get old,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: your kind.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: Of things just kind of So yeah, I know he's
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: on a summer tour, so he's still old enough. I mean,
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: he's still young enough, I should say, to do his thing.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: But good, let's look that up Springsteen.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: What do you guess?
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I think he's like eighty one.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: I'll go eighty one. Yeah, he's got it. He's got
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: to be getting up there, got oh seventy five?
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Really? Oh man? All right, all right, take that back.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: I guess because he's wrinkled up, he looks older.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I love like guys like Mark and Venice, who
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: said these like, what do you expect me to say?
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I Trump's just trying to get in
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the headlines because he knows as you're talking about this,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: you're not talking about something else he's doing. So it's
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: it's the oldest trick in the book. Tie from l
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Passo writes in and says, Ben, I know you had
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: an incident years ago with Justin Bieber. Do you feel
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: bad for the Beabes based on the story this week
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: about him almost going broke? No, I don't. I don't
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: give a listen the fact that Bieber's.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: Suldn't that your boy though? Didn't you hang with him
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: at a Clippers game back in the day.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I was a Laker game and his hoodie touched my
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: arm justin Bieber's hoodie touched my arm. Was a Laker
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Rockets game at Staples and a couple of his security
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: goons were leading him out to his front row seat
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: at Staples Center. It was his call back then and beebes.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: He had a hoodie on, probably because he had just
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: come from a freak off with Diddy and he was
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: he was walking with his head down and the front
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: of the cootie hit my my. It was my left arm.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: My Elwow.

  Speaker 1: How dare you? I don't know what you're talking about.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: You've seen my paycheck, so yeah, I don't. What do
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: you want to say?

• 13:30
  Speaker 1: this week day, he was almost broke, and then he
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: sold his music catalog for two hundred million dollars. So

• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Mayan the Mayan set, I don't.

  Speaker 1: much about mister beast. I know he's got a lot
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: of money from what I've heard.

• 15:22
  Speaker 5: You knew?
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: The Overnight show, Mike and Fullerton writes and says, hey, Bendon,

• 15:45
  Speaker 1: on the John? Are you a get in, get out
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: kind of guy? Or do you take your time like Charlie.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Hopefully my question doesn't scare off any of the few

  Speaker 1: die hard female fans of the Fifth Hour. And that
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: is from Mike in Fullerton. Yeah, I'm getting get out guy.

• 16:12
  Speaker 1: like the toilet. We have a high end tushy toilets
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Danny with the water, so that does make the toilet
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: experience a more enjoyable experience. But yeah, I don't spend it.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: That sounds cold. Do you have like a temperature gauge
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: on the water?
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: It's room temperature water. It's fine, it's not I would
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: want that warm. No, no, you don't want it one
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: that would burn very important regions of the body. You
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: want it room temperature.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: You want a very European of you.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Listen some things they do right, relegation and water in
• 16:46

• 16:54
  Speaker 1: No, it's not constantly spraying.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Number one.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Number two. You can adjust it to how you want it.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: What do you mean it's not constantly sprang what is
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: it a trickle?
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Well, no, no, no, I'm saying, when you do what
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: you have to do, you here.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Means then it's a blast, right I know that.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Oh no, no, okay, see going, but how long does it?
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: How long does it blast you?
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: As long as you want. There's a there's this thing.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: You twist it and it turns the water on and
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: it sprays right, and you took us right the dirty
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: part and it cleans to the dirt, away the poopy.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Oh man, okaymi, And then you turn the water off
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: and then you you're supposed to make sure you do
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: a follow up. There's one wipe to follow up.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: You get to go. You don't have a toddler running
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: around your mansion obviously if you did.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: If you did, your bathroom would be your fortress, it
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: would be your solace. So when I go in there,
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: I bring my phone, make sure it's charged, and I
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: do a lot of show prep for the Covino and
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Rich show.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. See yeah, well if I if I had that situation,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I would likely do the same thing. But I hang
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: out with Moxy. You know. Week it's pretty much me
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: and the dog. The wife's at work and she works
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: at night, so's she leaves for work before I do,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: So I'm just kind of hanging out and whatever. You
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: go in there, get done, move on moving the next thing.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: But great question, my really deep that one thing on
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: a Sunday.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: Ben, you've a ball. Back in the day it was
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: freak offs and now it's poop offs.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, baby oil is a great probably Joe from Brooklyn. Hello,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Joe from Brooklyn rights and says Ben and Danny daddy
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: g He says, I heard Ben you talking about Moxie
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: on the show.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: The other day.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: What do you think about the story this week that
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: one in seven dog owners would dump their partner to
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: extend their dog's life by three years, says Joe. One
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: of seven people are with someone they should not be with.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Danny's that seems like that's what that means, right.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that in the new phenomenon in the past decade
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: or so where people treat it well, probably twenty years now,
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: if not twenty five, were people call their pets their
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: babies and their children and they push them around in strollers.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: Back in the day, when Paris Hilton treated their dogs
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: like that, people laughed. But now you see regular people
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: on the street treating their animals that way.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a little much. Yeah, I love Moxie Joe,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: and Moxie's my pal. And but Maxi's a dog. Maxie
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: licks its ass, you know. I mean, what do you
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: want me to do?
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, Dan, I'm a donkey mom, or what did
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: the lady say? A lady called Kovino and Rich last
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: week and complained because Rich was going in on people
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: that are a little too close to their pets. And
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: she said, I am a cat mom and I don't
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: care if you don't like that term. And Rich was like, well,
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: that's fine, but they're not the same as children. She's
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: like to me, it is my child, And so he
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: got some blowback on that.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is fun doing a national show and having
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: the random not in the demo listener call up and
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: start attacking you for something. One of my favorite memories
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: of that this goes back twenty years and there was
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: some political something in the Middle East that was going
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: on twenty years ago, and I remember what it was.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: But this old woman from somewhere in the northeast, somewhere
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: in the New England States called up and was on
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: hold for a long time. Because she didn't have anything
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: to say, and she was not in the demo, and
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: she was on hold, and then she got on the
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: air and she's she's like ripping. She takes a shot
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: at Fox News right and hangs up, not realizing we're
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: not Fox News right. She's like all upset. It was
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: like it was the funniest thing. I still remember, We're
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: not even related. We work for iHeart Medias who we
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: worked for. That's the parent company that we have to
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: deal with on a regular.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: I heeart that it's nothing to do with Fox Corporation.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Not at all. No, no, no, all right, yeah, so
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I thank you for the story, Joe. By the way,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Joe says, millennials are the ones that are most likely
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: to dump their their significant other for a dog. Alf
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: from the Mass Mutual Center rights and as I sat
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: through my son's college graduation ceremonial, the congratulations little baby,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Alf all grown up? How about you? Alf says As
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: I sat through my son's college graduation ceremony, I couldn't
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: help but think of the following question. Would you guys
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: take a do over and go back to college and
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: into the job market intoday's market, says Alf. Yeah, unless
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: I knew the knowledge I have now, and if I
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: could go back and do it all over again with
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: knowledge that I've gained through my life, that would be
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: kind of cool.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't want to redo that part of life. What
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: I would want to redo are a couple of those
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: program director jobs I had because much like you, I
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: don't play the game. I didn't play the game where
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: you should be buddies with your bosses and go drinking
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: with some of the people you work with. I was
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: so focused on the actual radio station that I didn't
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: hobnob enough.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: I think that's the word.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And so if I could go back and just
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: have a little bit more fun and enjoy things and
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: maybe and not kissing ass necessarily. But like I didn't
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: even go to station events or like people's you know,
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: parties that they would throw and they would invite everybody
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: from work. I would never even attended things like that.
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: Anti social I think.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I hear you, I hear you. There's some
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: some things that I in the multiverse. I like, what
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: would have happened. I interviewed with TMZ Sports in twenty
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: oh nine. I was about to be hired. They were
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: going to launch TMZ Sports. I was wondering what would
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: have happened if that had taken off they had hired me,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: And then famously was also around that time, I somewhere
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: in that period, there was like two or three years there.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: I went, I went to Bristol, Connecticut, met with the
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: ESPN executives there, and I was about to be hired there,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: and then that didn't work out. So like there's a
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: couple of things that happened where I was like, I
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: don't know if that would have I don't think I
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: really fit ESPN per se would you look at things
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: like that? But I'm happy. I think we're pretty lucky.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Danny.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: We got in before the everyone's got a podcast era.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: You know, you actually had to earn it to get
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: on the radio, and it meant something. It was meaningful.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: You know, you can just anybody could get a podcast
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: and do that. You had to. You had to work
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: your way up, and that was kind of cool, you know.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: I think I think that's a yeah.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: And we were both with the network before it became
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: the number one sports network in the country.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's I have fond memories of being on
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio in Binghamton, New York and Pitts in
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: a couple other cities, and we were like the fourth
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: sports network in the country, and now we're at the top.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Nick in Wisconsin rights in, thanks, alf, I hope your
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: son does well. I want know what your son majored in.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Nick in Wisconsin says Ben and Danny. We just had
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: our second tornado warning in the last few weeks as
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I write this, which is rare in west central Wisconsin.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Nick says, do either of you believe that the government
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: has weather controlling technology and is using it to bend
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: the American people to its will? Let's go coast to
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: coast on this Sunday fun day. Yeah, So, I totally
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: believe that technology is out there, and if the technology
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: is out there, then the government has access to it.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I absolutely believe that. And we know that the technology
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: is out there because in the Middle East they have
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: been fussing around with us. Didn't they have big floods
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: because they messed it up? Was it last year or
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: two years ago? Remember they had the big floods of
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: places that they don't really get a lot of rain.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: They were they were messing around seating clouds and coming
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: up with with rain and they got it wrong, and
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: there were there were like flash flood warnings in a
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: place that doesn't get much rain at all, and the
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: theory is that's because they were humanly manipulating the weather.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: So I absolutely believe it's out there. And if it's
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: out there, the government's got their fingers in it.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: So I buy that. What about you, Danny, let me
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: ask you this. If you did, yeah, I know this
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: is on your bucket list. If you did get to
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: fill in for George Nori for a week Premiere Networks,
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: what do you think you would spend most of the
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: airtime talking about.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: I'd love to have a chance to fill in on
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Coast to Coast. I would do remote viewing because I've
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: heard a lot about that recently, so I do remote
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: viewing UFOs.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: I could do like some Bigfoot stuff UFO and the
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: alien stuff has been in the news, and your theory
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: about there being a world underneath the ocean and the
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: sea and under mountains. Possibly we should get Nori back
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: on the podcast.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: It's a great idea. We should track down Georgia and
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: I'm going to I'm going to be in Vancouver coming
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: up here in eleven days, so we're going to have
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: to do some some we call him Evergreen Ponds Danny
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: that will stand the test of time. So we'll have
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: to do an interview weekend of chit Chat while I'm
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: in Vancouver. So love to get George on and talk
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: about some of those amazing Coast to Coast topics which
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: are so good and really great on the podcast, because
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: you can listen to the overnight show Live Danny, and
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: then you can go back and hear the Coast to
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Coast Podcast with our buddy, the great George Norri who's
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: been doing that for what thirty close to thirty years now.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: Coast time now, Yeah.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Been a long run for sure. Kwang from Vietnam says
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Ben and Daddy G Radio instead of see you later, Alligator,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I think I found a new book for Daddy G
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Radio to read, the baby CoA see you later, excavator.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Have you heard of that book? Danny?
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: You know what's funny about that.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: There's a song that's been staying in me and my
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: better half brains and it's from Blippy.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Are you aware of who Blippy is?
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: I am not aware of the magical ability of Blippy.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: No Blippy is this goofy dude there's actually two of
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: them that sort of look alike, and they pretend like
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: it's only one guy, so they take turns doing the show.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: But Blippy wears a dumb hat and dumb glasses and
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: suspenders and a bow tie and pants that look a
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: little too tight, and he runs around like museums and
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: kids parks and playgrounds and things around the country that
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: would interest kids. He talks in a weird kind of
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: pee wee herman voice. It's somewhat educational, but kids have
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: gravitated towards this Blippy guy. He has a song that's
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: called the Excavator Song. He shows an excavator and the
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: song goes, I'm an excavator. And whenever CoA is dancing
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: around the living room listening to the Excavator song, Brendon
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: and I look at each other and we're like, we're
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: gonna be singing this stupid song to ourselves for the
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: next week.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's a tough one. This book, though, it's
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: a real book. He sent me a quang sent me
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: a screenshot. See you later, excavator.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna look that up.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: You might have to get that for a little baby
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: cold for sure. Time for one or two more here
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: on the mail bag. Oh gotta get my guy Reggie
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: and Reggie from Detroit. This dude emails us every week
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: pretty much. He says, Ben, the show Around the Horn,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: its final week is this week on ESPN, the last
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: episode coming up. He says, were you ever a fan
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: of the show? And did you ever appear on that
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: show or something like that show? Says our our guy
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Reggie from Detroit. No, Reggie, I was never on Around
• 29:14

• 30:01
  Speaker 3: I do that does sound familiar?
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, I did a guest spot. It was funny

  Speaker 1: on Around the Horn. I haven't watched it in years,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: And I did see the story on Your Your Boy
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Clay's website that they said the ESPN canceled even though
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Around the Horn got good ratings, they canceled it because
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: they couldn't get the people to focus on sports without
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: making like whack of doodle comments about politics and ideology
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: and things like that. So I thought that was kind.
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: Of amusing that you lose, yeah, because if you were
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: the winner, you had screen time and you could talk
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: about whatever you wanted, right.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And they go on rants and that you talk
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: about easy money. And I don't know how much they're
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: making now, but from what I heard from the late
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: great TJ. Seimers, they would pay those people on that show,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: like I think it was seven seven hundred and fifty
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: dollars a day minimum for a thirty minute show, an
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: ensemble cast, and you're only on there for you know,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: maybe ten minutes at the most or something like that
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: where you're actually happing.

  Speaker 3: Got some easy money right there.
