  Speaker 1: this Arch Manning story about his laughter, finding some humor
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: in that AI thing, turn into a social media culture war?

  Speaker 1: And what fed that culture war? Also in college football,

  Speaker 1: the athletic director, Keith Carter, In Oxford, Mississippi, says LSU's

  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin tried to manipulate Ole Miss players and coaches
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: on his way out of the Ole Miss football program,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: and the people will never get past it at Mississippi.

  Speaker 1: knew the mob was out to get him. He had

  Speaker 1: a little buzz in the air. It's making a long

  Speaker 1: knock yourself out. Perfectly fine. Perfectly fine. More on that
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: coming up in a bit. But our lead, don't bury
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the lead, my man! The lead story, a follow-up, follow-up
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: to a story we discussed yesterday In a previous episode
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: of the show, the other shoe has dropped here, and
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: we're going to call this the laugh-in. the laugh and
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: remember that even though things are a little bit better
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: now than they were during the craziness of the pandemic
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: and the woke revolution, we still live in a time
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: where you can be forced to apologize for your sense
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: of humor. That's what happened here. And so Dateline Austin,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: where the number one team in all of college football
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: now sitting at the very top of For now, the
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Texas Longhorns, after their fourth quarter comeback, after playing like
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: poo-poo for three quarters, the Longhorns rose up as Ohio
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: State played like choking buckeyes in the fourth quarter. And
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: so Texas is at the top there. And now we
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: have a follow-up to the college football controversy of the week. Now,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: do not confuse this with the Lane Kiffin hullabaloo that
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: took place with the NFL players. This is a different
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: NFL controversy, so please update your scorecards. You've got to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: update your scorecard. So this is not Watergate. It's not Deflategate.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I believe this one is what we're going to call Gigglegate. Yes,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the first ever Gigglegate in college football. Now, there have
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: been giggle controversies before. I recall a very prominent member
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: of the San Antonio Spurs was given the old heave-ho
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: for laughing at an NBA referee. I remember doing commentary
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: on that years ago. Well, now we have another laugh-in situation. Gigglegate. Gigglegate, gigglegate, gigglegate.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: So I assume you've been following along, perhaps not. Texas
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: quarterback Arch Manning, the next in the lineage of the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Manning family. Many unaware, many unaware. Not the son of
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Peyton or Eli. He's the son of the guy that
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: didn't make it in the NFL, Cooper. Manning. Anyway, Arch
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Manning apologized. Now, what did he do? Did he spit
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: a big, fat loogie in the face of a player? No.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Did he steal crab legs from a grocery store? No, no,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: he didn't do that. Hmm. Did he beat someone up? No, no,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: didn't beat anyone up. What did he do? I can't
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: believe he did it. If you didn't see it, he
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: had to apologize because he laughed. at something he thought
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: was funny. Another hero. Another hero is gone. We've lost
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Arch Manning. He's gone. Not dead. Just doesn't have the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: type of sense of humor that apparently he's supposed to have.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: He....
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: What are the chances he actually had anything to do
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: with this apology other than have somebody write it for him? Anyway,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: he apologized for calling the AI video depicting his head coach,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Steve Sarkeesian, slapping the reporter there, Holly Rowe. Hilarious. He
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: apologized for that. Apologize. I know. So sad. Arch Manning
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: called his reaction, quote, insensitive. Yeah. He said there is
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: nothing funny about it. Acknowledged his words were hurtful. So hurtful.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you. I actually I went to therapy.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I was so devastated by what Arch Manning had to say.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I really I don't even know how I did the show.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I did it on fumes. I did. I did it
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: on effing fumes. Now, he specifically apologized to Holly Roe,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: who was clearly damaged, unless she wasn't because it was fake,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: expressed his respect for her.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: She's not very good. Why would you respect? She's not
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: a good. It's terrible. Anyway, promised to be more thoughtful
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: going forward. which means don't give your true feelings because
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: a lot of people can't handle it. So that's what
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: that means. All right, that's a good jumping off point.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss. The question is rather simple. Why? Why
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: did Texas quarterback Arch Manning issue a groveling apology for
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the crime of enjoying an AI video? All right, so
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I've got my thoughts on this. I've got Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Cedar Sinai,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: and King Cobra. And we will combine all of these
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: things together, and we're going to make some garlic bread,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: and we're going to have some lasagna. You're going to
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: enjoy that. We're going to have a big feast of
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: lasagna and garlic bread. So, A. My angle on this,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I get so worked up with the outrage machine. I
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: am fascinated by how this works and how it still
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: continues to work. The outrage machine demanded a pound of flesh,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: and Arch Manning delivered the ceremonial apology casserole. It was
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: like a potluck, and he brought the apology casserole there
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: for everyone to enjoy a little piece of the casserole. Because, listen,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: he's a very valuable commodity, and even if he's not
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: that great, he's still going to make a lot of money.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: And so you hire these crisis management bozos, and they
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: tell you, oh, here's what you're supposed to do. And
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: it's paint by numbers. Just paint by numbers. And that's it.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: You've got to protect the almighty image for Madison Avenue.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: So they protected the image for Madison Avenue. He's the
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: cash cow. And, of course... As Michael Jordan would have
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: said if he was playing basketball today, woke crybabies buy sneakers, too.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: The woke crybabies buy a lot of sneakers. So you
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: got to appease them. So Arch did not, to my knowledge.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: create the AI video. Does anyone know? OK, no one's
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: raising their hand saying he created the AI video. Did
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: he distribute it?
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: No.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Okay. He did not. He did not distribute the video.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Fair enough. So he did not make it. He did
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: not distribute it. Did he, did he endorse? No, he
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: did not endorse violence.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: So he didn't endorse violence.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: So what, what did he do? Okay. So he laughed.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I'm told he laughed at that video. Okay. So let
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: me ask you this. Who exactly is the victim in this?
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Who is that? Well, that's OK. I will concede there
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: is a victim. The A.I. version of Holly Roe. Can
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: anyone get a hold of the A.I. version of Holly Roe?
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Can we get it? No. Is is she filing an A.I.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: grievance with the A.I. human resources? No. OK. Now, somewhere,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I'm sure A.I. Holly Roe has accepted Archer's apology, of course,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and asked everyone. everyone to respect her AI privacy during
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: this very difficult time. So absolutely. Last I checked, nobody
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: was actually slapped. Nobody was injured. The only casualty was
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Arch Manning's ability to say, yeah, I think that's funny.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: That's over. He can't do that now. He's no longer
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: able to say, hey, I think that's funny and can't
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: do it. We've now reached the point where where laughing,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: for some of you morons, requires approval from the Department
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: of Appropriate Chuckling. I'm not sure where they're located. I'm
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: sure they're somewhere, but I don't know where. And I
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: determined that next up, based on the way things are going,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: the Scooby-Dooby-Doo gang is going to have to issue a
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: statement begging for forgiveness and to be allowed back in
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: polite society. for frightening many cartoon ghosts. Can you imagine?
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: And the Looney Tunes. How many times? The collisions, the roadrunner,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: and yeah, I mean, that was a lot of violence.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I feel pain just thinking about the coyote and the
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: bodily harm the coyote had in those old Looney Tunes cartoons.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: It's sad. It is. All right, now, keeping the theme
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: going here, keeping the theme of this hour, at least
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the beginning of the hour going here, the question is
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: how did this Arch Manning story, where he simply laughed
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: at a dumb AI video, turn into a social media
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: referendum and a culture war? How does that happen? Well,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: it happens after a minutes-long deliberation of the available information.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I've come to the conclusion that this happens because a
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: faux scandal was fueled by the second-hand outrage. You've probably
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: heard the term, the main character syndrome, and all of
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: that kept alive by a lot of busybodies and people
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: running around, like the professional busybodies who smelled an opportunity.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: They smelled it, and they smelled that opportunity to scold,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: and they took full advantage of that. So the Grievous industry,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: and there's a lot of people that are part of
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: that Grievous industry there, they saw an opening and immediately
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: expanded the franchise and said, we got something here, boys,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: turning a non-issue. Just who cares? Move on with your day.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Life's short. You're going to die. What are you doing?
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: And they turned that into a high-stakes competition. And I
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: noticed it popped up the high stakes competition to see
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: who could be the most offended on behalf of someone else. Now,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: in this case, who's more offended for a fake AI video?
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I'd like to know, but we do know people offended
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: by someone on behalf of someone else. So we had
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: a gaggle of, let's be honest here, call it like
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: it is, mostly female media members who made this all
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: about them. All about them. They weren't involved in this.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: In fact, really, no one was involved. It was a
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: fake video, dummies. Anyway, they raised holy hell as, oh,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: my God, they activated the Justice League here. So stupid.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: They demanded an apology. And I'm so offended. I'm more
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: offended than everyone else. And they needed they needed answers
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: because Arch Manning has a sense of humor that does
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: not match their sense of humor. How could that be?
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: How could that be? Arch Manning's laughter was like a
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: dagger to their heart. It really was. It's so stupid.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: It is so stupid. Nothing. I've determined this. Nothing fuels
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: social media. like the chance to make someone else's controversy
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: your personal life's crusade. And it's just great. And the
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: humorless hall monitors that are out there arrived immediately and
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: declared laughter a punishable offense. Now, did I think the
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: video was funny?
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: No.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Do I care if other people do?
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Fine.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of things. I go to these comedy shows.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Most of the comedians I see are not funny. There's
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: like maybe one out of every 10 comedians I actually
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: laugh at when I go to these comedy clubs. But
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: other people are laughing and I don't sit there and say, well,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: that wasn't funny. Why'd you laugh at that? I'm offended
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: that you laughed at that. My God, what's wrong with you? No,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: but these people do. These dum-dums do. So I'd like
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: to recommend unsolicited comedy. Advice here that these dopes who
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: are raising holy hell because Arch Manning laughed at an
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: AI video, they should visit Cedars-Sinai and get on the
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: transplant list over there because they clearly were born without
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: a funny bone. So just get over it. Just get
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: over it. It's amusing how the outrage machine works here
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: where these people, People up in arms. And by the way,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: let me point out, a lot of these women who
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: were complaining about the video and Arch Manning's response, they
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: had radio silence on Diana Rossini getting cozy with Mike Vrabel.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: They had nothing to say about that. That's fine. We
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: won't talk about that. This, though, now that's a problem.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: A 22-year-old college kid laughing at an AI video. That
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: is offensive. Diana Rossini going out and making whoopee or
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: looking like making whoopee there with an NFL coach. You
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: talk about inside reporting. No issue with that. No issue.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: All right, now, last word. To Mississippi we go. The
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: game of the year in college football this weekend. We're
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: just days away from No. 7. I believe No. 7 LSU.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: And No. 8 Ole Miss. They will duke it out.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: And the athletic director for Ole Miss, somebody named Keith Carter.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Talk about a generic name. Keith Carter, the athletic director
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: at Ole Miss. He says the school's anger towards former
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: head coach Lane Kiffin goes beyond the decision to just
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: exit and go to Baton Rouge and go coach LSU
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: after the 2025 season. Carter says Ole Miss could have
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: accepted Kiffin taking the LSU job. despite being disappointed that
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: he chose to leave and all that. The issue, though,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: according to this athletic director at Ole Miss, the issue,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Carter says, he claims that Lane Kiffin tried to manipulate
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: the players and the coaches and worked behind the scenes,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: this is a quote, behind the scenes to hurt us.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Those are his words. Now, Carter says those alleged actions
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: are something that Ole Miss people, he said, quote, probably...
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: will never forget or forgive, rather. Probably never will forgive
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: what he did and get past that. This, among calls
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: of extra police on hand for the game, they're expecting,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: I guess, some kind of kerfluffle with Lane, and we'll
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: see how that goes this weekend. Anyway, the question. You
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: have the athletic director saying, This guy Keith Carter, who
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: says LSU's Lane Kiffin, this is the Ole Miss athletic director,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: who says LSU's Lane Kiffin tried to manipulate players and
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: coaches on his way out of Ole Miss, and people
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: will never get past that. So how does that sound
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: to you? Now, they knew. They knew exactly what they
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: were getting into. In Oxford, Mississippi, exactly what they were
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: getting into. They hired Lane Kiffin. It wasn't like Lane
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: hadn't had some stuff happen to him over the years.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: And some of this has gotten out in the years
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: that have passed. There was a book that just popped
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: up about. He was such a raging alcoholic at Alabama
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: when he was working with Nick Saban that he would
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: just drive. It was like a 90s comedy, early 2000s comedy.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: He would drive the Alabama golf cart, the coach's golf cart,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: to some bar, some dive bar in Tuscaloosa to pick up.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: the hotties and just leave the golf cart there because
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: he was so hammered, he'd just leave it there. And
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: that's well, it's just like everything, Tennessee, USC, there was
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff that followed Lane Kiffin around. So
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: they knew what they were getting when he arrived in Oxford.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: And if you bring home a King Cobra, You might
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: want to keep some anti-venom handy. I'm just saying, if
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: you're going to have a King Cobra, you got to
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: have a little anti-venom. That's it. And so Lane didn't
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: suddenly become Lane Kiffin. on his way to Baton Rouge. Yeah,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: so the Ole Miss people, the good peeps over there
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: at Ole Miss, are in no position, no position to
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: act completely stunned by the thang marks from the King Cobra.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: So instead, you've got the athletic director here, this guy, again,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: The guy's name is Keith Carter, who sounds like the
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: guy whose girlfriend dumped him six months ago. And he
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: still obsessively clicks refresh on her Instagram page, like trying
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: to figure out everything she's got going on. Like Ole
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Miss didn't just lose a football coach when Lane Kiffin left.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: It's more than that. It's like a nasty custody battle.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: between LSU and Ole Miss, and they lost that. And
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: according to Carter, the lane train didn't just leave, of course.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: He didn't just leave. He allegedly loosened the lug nuts
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: on the team bus on the way out of Dodge.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: And I'm getting out of here. The wound isn't just fresh.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: It's not just a fresh wound. It's actually still bleeding
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: through the bandage at this particular point. And I will add,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: nothing quite says closure. Nothing quite says closure like explaining
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: publicly why you'll never, ever have closure. That you're never,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: ever going to have closure. It is the Ben Maler Show. Now,

• 26:42
  Speaker 1: I have to disagree. We don't know everything about Anthony
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: in Louisiana. What is the dessert he kept ordering at
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Outback Steakhouse that got him into dental trouble? My guess
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: is the Chocolate Thunder from Down Under. According to Late
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Night Drug Tester. Jason says that he is a sensitive, woke...
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: And not a fan of guy humor. That's according to Jason.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, I don't know why you'd admit that.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Nature Boy says, I don't apologize to the Wokes for
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: laughing my ass off at Andrew Dice Clay. Back in
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: the day. There you go.
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Let's see here. What else do we have here? I
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: can't read that on the air. Let's see. RPS commentators.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: I love you, Ben, but you don't even say what
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: the AI video is. I think most people, it was
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: a video of a fake AI version. It was woman abuse.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: It was not women. No woman got hurt in the video.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: It's hypothetical. I'll stop. Turn your mic off. I'm not
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: in the mood. Analog Al says, don't care about University
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: of Texas. And I would root against the new Manning.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I wish she didn't apologize. Would have been the biggest
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: fan along with the coach.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Well, there's a lot of endorsement dollars. He's trying to
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: get there. Oh, no. So we have to see page down.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Random Ryan in Carolina writes in, says the Cubs bullpen
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: is bad at throwing baseballs. And he did not say boogity, boogity, boogity, boogity, boogity.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: You've got to add that in. It's a bad job
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: by you. But it is a newbie night. All new
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: callers all the time. So let's take some calls here.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: What do you say? And who's up first on Newbie Night?
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Let's say hello to Keith, who's in Connecticut. What's going on, Keith? Welcome.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: I can't believe I actually got through. I tried a
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: couple times in the last few weeks. But anyways, I
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: wanted to say, I don't know, I think your show
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: is pretty cool. I'm a diehard sports fan. I forgot
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: more about sports than most people will ever know.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah? You want me to quiz you? I can
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: quiz you right now if you want. I can quiz you.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Go ahead. All right. Let's see. What's a good now
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: you're up on current sports or like all time. Like
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: how far back do you go? Go ahead.
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: I don't know. Try it. Listen, I just want to
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: say I've been homeless for the last couple of years.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: So I don't watch, I don't watch TV anymore. I
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: lost my brother, lost my mother, lost the house, lost
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: my car, lost my.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Will to live.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: And I, and I sit and I'm in a spot
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: right now where I'm not supposed to be at. And
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: I've been here for two years. And, um, I don't
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: want to say weird, because I don't know, but the
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: people that, I'm in a plaza, in a room off
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: a plaza. Anyway, long story short, and I, people, you know,
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: they help me here. in the town I'm in.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: It's just like, well, that's great. That's great. So, and you're, you're,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming you're trying to get your, your life back together, right? You're,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: you're making steps.
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: And find resources and everything. I mean, I have a
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: better spirit about things now than I did a couple
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: of years ago.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: That sounds like you got, I mean, that's terrible. What
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: you just described. I mean, I don't know whether that's
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: actually what happened or not. I mean, I have no
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: way of verifying that, but that sounds terrible. Uh, that's like,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: that's like a nightmare situation and you're still here. That's good.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: I'm still here. I'm still here. You know what I mean?
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, but anyways, yeah, go ahead.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: I listened to your show. I've never heard your show
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: before into the last three or four or five months.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: Cause I had this little transistor radio that someone gave
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: me that I met being homeless and said, you know,
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: cause I listened to the Red Sox games every night. And, um,
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: but anyways, I listened to your show. I let, you
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: know what I mean? So it's like, I listen to
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: all the Dan Patrick shows, all the time when I'm... I.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Think, Keith, you should focus on our show. I'm just saying.
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: I do. I listen to it all the time. I
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: only started listening to you like four or five months ago, and.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: I think it's awesome. You're cool. You're very kind. I
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: appreciate that. Thank you, Keith. What's that?
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: You can throw a couple sports trivias at me right now.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: All right. A couple of sports trivias here. I'll start
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: with easy, and then I'll work my way up to
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: A little bit harder. Who has the record, NFL record,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: for the most passing touchdowns in one season? Let's see here. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: I think Brady. It was Burrito for 25 years with 48,
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: because I'm a Dolphin fan, by the way. But anyways,
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: he shattered that when he took it over. I'm going
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: to say either... Manny or Drew Brees?
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: I believe it is Peyton Manning. Peyton Manning with the Broncos.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: They set the record for the most points and all that.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: High-flying team.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: Drew Brees had a 50-touchdown season, too.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Manny had– he set the record for most
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: passing yards in a season and touchdowns also. I think
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: that 2013 Bronco team was– It was really, really good there.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: The Wrecks now are just, like, tainted anyways, I think,
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: because it's just a whole different game than it was
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: years ago.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. They always have to have more offense.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: You've got to have more offense, Keith. It's all about
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: the offense, man. That's what it's all about.
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: It's all about the show.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: I know. It's all about the show.
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: Well, no.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Selfishly, I just look for things to talk about that
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: are interesting. That's what I'm all about there. So that's
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: all I care about. But listen. You sound like you
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: should become one of our regulars. We'll give you a
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: goofy nickname and all that. I need a t-shirt.
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: I don't have much clothes.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: I need a t-shirt. Well, we'll call more off. We'll
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: hook you up, man. This guy, Weedman Hippie. I don't
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: know if you've heard him. Weedman in Miami.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: Was he from Florida?
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's from New York, but he lives in Florida.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: So Weedman was... I've heard of him. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: Weedman has been homeless. He just got a place recently,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: but he's been homeless... He's listened to me for like
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: 20 years. He's been homeless pretty much the whole time.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: And people send him food and all kinds of stuff
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: just because he's a character on the show. There's like
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: burrito hooks him up and other people. So there are
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: people that will take care of you just by being
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: part of the show. If they like you, they'll send
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: you some stuff. So that'll happen, Keith. But good luck.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Get back on your feet. And everyone loves a good
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: comeback story, Keith. You know that, right? Come on now.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: All right, buddy.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, not worrying about anyone else is to
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: come back for me. I need to come back for me.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Exactly. That's right. Be selfish. Don't worry about other people.
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Keith. Good luck to you. Call me more
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: often there. Keith, look at that, man. What a tough
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: break that guy had with the things that happened in
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: his life with people dying and stuff. Life be lifin'. And,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: you know, sometimes things work out perfectly for you, and
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: you end up in the big mansion up in the hills,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: and then other times... You get kicked in the balls,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: and you end up fighting on the streets there in Connecticut.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: So good to hear from him. Let's say hello to
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: John in Anchorage, Alaska. Hello, John in Anchorage. Welcome. What
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: a newbie night. It's all new callers. It's newbie night.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: I'm just about to hit the coffin. I'm an old man,
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: and I have long memories, and I want to test
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: your history knowledge.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: I think I love this caller. All right. So, yeah.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Before you test my knowledge, John.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: I'm older than her grandpa.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: That's okay. That's all right. That's all right. So, can
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: we ask... I want to get to know you a
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: little bit. Is that okay? You don't have to answer
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: if you don't want to. No, no.

  Speaker 1: All right. So... Let's guess, how old is John? Let's

  Speaker 1: start with that. Don't answer yet, John. We're going to
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: go around the room here. John is in Anchorage, Alaska.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say John. I'm going to say you're
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: 84 years old. Lorena? I'm going to go with my
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: birth year. You're 92.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: 92.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: All right. Koopa Loop, how old do you think our
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: new friend John on Newbie Night in Anchorage, Alaska is?
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go... 80 even. 80. Solid 80. Okay.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Reveal answers, John in Anchorage.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Wait, wait, wait.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: I want to give you a drum roll. Here we go.

  Speaker 1: Drum roll. Big drum roll. Here we go. Big drum roll.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Big money, big money, big money. And stop.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Split the difference.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: I'm 87.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: 87. Look at that.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Unbelievable. Unbelievable. 87 years young there. Definitely in our demographic.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to guess that you're not a native
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: of Anchorage, Alaska. Is that accurate? You didn't grow up there?
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: No, I did not.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: I grew up riding my bicycle to Wrigley Field and
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Gilmore Field. Now, do you know.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Where they are? Oh, in L.A. In Los Angeles, right? Yeah.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: That's right, the Pacific Coast League back in the old days.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: The Los Angeles Angels played in Wrigley Field in Culver City,
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: and the Hollywood Stars played in Gilmore Field in West
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: And Gilmore Field is now a shopping, it's like where
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: the Grove is, right in that area.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: It's too expensive to be a small baseball field. I
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: used to have a net, and I'd stand outside the
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: The walls would wait for a ball to come over
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: the wall.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: So how did your life end up in Anchorage, Alaska, John?
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: I'm curious. How did your life end up there?
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: I was offered a job, and I took it. I
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: read the cremation of Sam McGee and the shooting of
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Dan McGee when I was in high school, and someone
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: offered me a job in this cool freezer place. It's
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: pretty nice, actually. And I took them up on it. Nice.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: All right, and you've been there a long time, I assume,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: and all that. All right, give me one question, John.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: I have a clock here. I got a clock issue.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: All right. Go ahead, one question. Go ahead. What do
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: you got?
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: The Hollywood Stars played in Gilmore Field. It was around
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: the corner from the Farmer's Market.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's right.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: What is Gilmore Field named after?
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know who.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: Can you find out?
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, I thought you had the answer. All right.
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: I will.
• 37:17

• 37:42
  Speaker 1: you'll be happy to know, John, on my fifth-hour podcast,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: because I don't discriminate. Some people don't like old people.

• 37:48
  Speaker 1: learn from old people. I want to be an old person.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: If I'm lucky, I'll be an old person. And I
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: had Ross Porter on, who I used to work with
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: on the Dodger stuff. And Ross is 87. He's almost 88.
