  Speaker 1: gmail dot com. That's real fifth hour at gmail dot com.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: First up is a regular, Reggie from Detroit writes in
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: he says, hey, guys, mister Beast revealed recently that he
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: has around one billion unique viewers of his YouTube channel,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and he says that's one eighth of the entire population
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: on planet Earth. Reggie says, watches mister Beast. And he says,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you and Danny have talked about mister Beast before. However,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: you say you have not seen his videos. Neither have
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I or anyone I know, Reggie said, And then he says,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: is mister Beast a fraud? That's from Reggie. I don't know.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I really have never seen mister Beast. I think I'm
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: outside the demo, but I don't know what the demo is.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Kids are kids watching mister Beasts, every single kid, or
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: there are a billion kids watching mister Beast. You know
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: how I feel, Danny about Internet download numbers and all that. Skeptical.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I'm very skeptical about that stuff.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot of kids in my house here.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: I think one eighth of the kid population. Daddy, they
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: don't watch him. Maybe we're the exception. Because I was
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: thinking about it. I haven't watched his videos. Teenager we
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: have here doesn't watch his videos, so yeah, I'm not sure.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Remember was it twenty twenty four mister Beast was brought
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: in by the NBA. It was either for the Celebrity
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Game or he was doing something of the actual All
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Star Game. And nobody seemed to know who he was
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: at the and there were twenty thousand people or whatever
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: it was in the arena, not this All Star Game,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the one couple. I guess it was a year before,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: but nobody kind of knew who he was. It was
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: very odd for somebody who, if you believe the hype,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the publicity, is the one of the most famous people
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: in the world.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Odd. Probably one of the craziest things, one of the
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: craziest phenomenons, if you will, in our lifetime is that
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: old video that still makes the rounds guys sitting in
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: their basement talking about how they were upset because they
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: only had like forty views on their first YouTube upload.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: The creators of YouTube were sitting there kicking rocks because
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: they thought they failed. Now we legitimately have millionaires and
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: almost billionaires off of their platform.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's odd to me. I like they're famous,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: but it's not as famous as before the internet. Isn't
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: it odd.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: That you can get it's not real famous, it's Internet
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: famous exactly.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Like you think the celebrities that were famous when we
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: back in our day, Danny, when we were growing up,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and how everyone knew who these people were, Like Michael
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Jordan didn't have social media, but everyone knew who Michael
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Jordan was because of TV commercial people watching TV and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: actors that were famous in that in those days. Like
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: how many actors. I guess Sidney Sweeney, she's an actress, right,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: she's I believe? Yes, am I correct?
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: And I'm sure you do this in your daily prep
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: for your overnight show. When you go to today's celebrity
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: birthdays and you type in the date on the first page,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: all these Internet stars come up that aren't Hollywood stars.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I'll go to the tabloids, and the tabloids
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: are right, stories about mister Beast for example, because Reggie
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: brought up mister Beast and some of these other there's
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: some women's like influencers who will get a lot of publicity.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I have no idea what they I've never I mean,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: they're attractive. Congratulations. There's a lot of attractive people in
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the world. I don't know. It's just very odd to me.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: There was another one in the fact that Reggie brought
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: up the mister Beast thing. But there was a story
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: in one of the tabloids this week that mister Beast
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: revealed that he's borderline blind in one eye, you know,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and that's why he never smiles because he's blind. Like, okay, great,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: congratulations anyway, I don't know, so thank you, Reggie. I
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: have not seen mister Beast. Neither is Danny or the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: many kids in his house. Alf from the Gutter writes
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: in he says, show up hands. How many people in
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: studio checked out the website that Blair plugged on air?
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: So Danny, Blair and Maine called up rare and appropriate
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: doesn't call very often anymore. And I think I said
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: something like, well, we lost Blair to TikTok, and then
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Blair said, no, I'm on some other I'm streaming on
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: some other website. So he named the website and I'd
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: never heard of it. Well, no, I heard of that,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: but he hadn't. He hadn't, and we'd never heard of it.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: And whatever we ignored it, and then of all people,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Kathy Sweet Kathy and Madison says, hey, that's a porn site.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Uh and yeah. But Blair was on apparently an adult website.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: That's where he had gone to, and I did not
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: check it out. Once Kathy told me what it was,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I was like, I'm at work. I'm not going to
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: get the ding on my my hr. I'm not going
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: to bother I don't I'm not that interested. Because it
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: was so was.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: He saying that that's what's been entertaining him.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, like he said, I asked him like, where have
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: you been, what have you been doing? He's like, yeah,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I'm in on this. He named the website, and oh boy,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I can only imagine what what activity is going on there.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: From Waterville, Maine, Blair in the legend there in Maine.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: He's on Metalcocks dot Org.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I was attracted to the giant metalcock. There's a lot
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: going on. There's a lot going on. Joe from Pasadena,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: where the Rose Parade is held every year, writes in.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: He says, Ben and Danny, there was a viral video
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: this week about a poker player that tore his acl.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I was excited about it and then I realized that
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the video was from seventeen years ago. How does this?
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, Ben, This happened to me on Friday too,
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: because it was trending and I'm like, this is great,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: and I sent it to Covino and Rich and right
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: after I sent it to him, I double checked the
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: story and it said from two thousand and nine.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah. I don't know, Joe. I guess
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: it's different generations or something like that. You just keep
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: bringing back I have noticed the NFL aggregators. Have you
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: noticed d it this week? Not at this Last week
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: was not a huge week for NFL news. Things have
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: kind of calmed down before things pick up again in
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the NFL, so it was a lot going on. So
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: they started bringing back stuff from two or three years ago,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and I was noticing stories that were popping up, and
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: They're like, that's an old I remember talking about that
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: story in twenty twenty two or twenty three or something
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: They bring me back.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: But this is like the way I agree with Joe.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Seventeen year old video A seventeen year old video of
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: a guy tearing his ACL celebrating.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Now, to be fair, I never saw that clip. I
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: just wish that whoever posts it like busting with the boys,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: because that's how I got got. I wish they would
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: start the post by saying, hey, a flashback a Friday,
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: flashback to two thousand and nine. That would be appropriate,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: but they posted as if it just happened. Yeah.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: No, I understand they're trying to get engagement, right. You
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: get paid on down loads, get paid on clicks and
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: all that stuff, so people are clicking on it. I
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: guess it doesn't matter. You can just bring stuff back.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: You'll live forever on the internet. Danny will just do that, guy,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I bet you bring it back. Every five years, they're
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: going to bring back that video, so remember listenly or whatever. Yeah, yeah,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I that happens a lot, like a lot of these videos,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: like even not necessarily seventeen years ago, but like I said,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: three or four years ago, five years ago. There's stories
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: that are on there that are old and repackaged. Is
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: new again? Simon from Seattle writes into the mailbag. He says,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Ben and Danny, how is this still a thing? And
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: then he said there's a a guy got charged fifty
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: five thousand dollars because of his daughter watching TikTok and
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: she was not on the TikTok shop here. According to
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the story that Simon sent me a link to, this
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: was in Manchester, England, and the business owner he's facing
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: this bill because his daughter, Oh, I guess they were
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: traveling to Morocco, so that his daughter decided to watch
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: TikTok while they were traveling to Morocco. The guy found
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: out when he got back to England a phone provider
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: hit him with a bill of fifty six thousand dollars
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: forty two thousand pounds two separate bills.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Were get in trouble as a kid. Yes, just did
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: phone calls?
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, I did. Yeah, well they charged by
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: the minute. Oh my god. Oh it is so bad.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Remember nights were free and so our parents would
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: always scream at us, you cannot call your friend until
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: it's nighttime.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah it's Chris. I'm so happy they don't do that anymore.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: But apparently here they did. His daughter had scrolled around
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: eight hours on and off, which meant it was costing
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: five thousand pounds an hour. The cost came because of
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: a clause in the phone contract which allowed uncap data
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: roaming outside of Europe. And the I guess, so the
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: guy got charged all this. I think they were able
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: to get it off the the you know, roll it
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: back or whatever. But my god, that is like nineteen nineties,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: two thousands, right, Danny, that's like.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: That's definitely some nineteen nineties shit right there.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's wild man. Yeah. I remember the cell phone
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: we would have. The first cell phones. My mom was
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: very expensive. She's like, only in an emergency, do not
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: use this, and let's this an emergency, you know, because
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: it's so expensive.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, and you had a tripod to set the
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: antenna up for the phone.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I was a nightmare. Barry, still in South Carolina but
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: still trying to get out on the mailbag, says yo
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Yo Ma, Benny. I know you are a Vegas guy,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: and I just got back from Vegas last Friday. They
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: have these robo taxis that are free for now and
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: they test as they test this concept out. Have you
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: ever taken one of these? If not, would you? That's
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: from Barry in South Carolina. I have not taken one
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: of those. I did consider in San Francisco taking a Waimo,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: which is I guess the same thing. You got to
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: pay for it and they're all over San Francisco. But
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: we ended up taking the cable car instead of the Waimo,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: which was more like San Francisco, and almost died on it.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: But whatever. Ooh, and when I walked down to the
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Tenderloine for a minute because I was looking for a
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: shop that I found.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Right there, Danny, if you say walking to the Tenderloin,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: you know things are not going to go.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Well, that's dude. Covino and Rich for the staff thing
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: that was going on. They said, we don't smoke marijuana,
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: but they like those drinks that have the THHC in them.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: It's like a carbonated orange soda, but it has a
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: little kick to it. So I found a shop, a
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: dispensary in San Francisco that sold them. I had to
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: walk for ten minutes though, to get these drinks. So
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: I'm walking and there were zombies and wayms. That was
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: the two things in that area of San Francisco. I'd
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: see a robot go by, then I'd see a freaked
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: out drugy go by.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I had a similar experience. It was not in
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: the Tenderloin, but it was Union Square. I think it's
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: called right, isn't that the big Yeah, yeah, Union Square.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: So we walked towards Union Square and that area was fine.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: It was I think that's what it was called. But
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: it was, you know, okay, there were cops everywhere, fine whatever,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: A nice little park in the middle of downtown San Francisco.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Good neighborhood, it felt like. And then we walked over
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: a couple other blocks and oh my god, it was
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: it was like Sodom and Gomorrah is what it was.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: And it was funny. I think I told you about
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: it last week. We were on the on the podcast
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: like got not Gottlieb, but what's his name McAfee. Pat
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: McAfee was bragging about how it wasn't that bad and
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: every it was fine, you know, and he'd heard a
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: lot from people saying, how how bout it was San
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Francisco or it was fine. I was like, yeah, right
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: around the convention Center it was okay. But if you
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: go a couple of blocks any direction.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, mcafeine. Had took the route I took away from
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Union Square, he would have been singing a different tune.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, man.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: It was almost a what's the word apocalyptical.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Looking, Yeah, for sure, for sure.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Somebody who's been five dollars for that big words?
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: You were too early for a big word. As far
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: as the like, I said, Barry, I have not been
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: in one of those self driving autonomous cars. Have you
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: been in one of those? Dany? Have you been in
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: a Weaimo?
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Yes? One time in Arizona we went there for a
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Graduate Hotels live broadcast and the only ride that was
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: available was a Weimo and CNR and me jumped into
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: the Weimo and you live.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: To tell about it. You live. You've not chosen to
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: do it again. They have him in La too. There's
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: some in La, not as many. They like to burn them.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: The ones in La. Those really burned really well, the
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: way moos they can light those a wile burn for hours.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: You let a weymou on fire. We learned that. Scott

  Speaker 1: from Florida writes in He says, Amen and Danny, a
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: lot of talk about a baseball lockout. Have you ever
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: been locked out of your home? And how did you
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: get back in after Hurricane Helene flooded my house in
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four or Helen. I had to break a window,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Scott says, to get back inside because my electronic door
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: locks fried from salt water. I should have just kept
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: the house locked up and walked away from it forever,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: says Scott from Florida. As an adult, I have not.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I've been locked out of my car, which sucks, but
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: we have a back so I have to get you know,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I have to get the wife to come wherever I
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: am and like, I'm locked out of the car, that's
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: that's but I don't. As a kid, I did have
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: that happen. We ended up putting one of those you
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: know the boxes, the plastic boxes where you put the
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: extra key, I hide it somewhere outside. We did that
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: because I had locked myself out, But not as an adult.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Have you ever Danny locked yourself out of the Danny
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: g Casa?
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's happened one time. I guess the teenager watched
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: something scary on TV. So she went downstairs and she
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: locked the top lock, which is an inside lock only.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: We never used that lock here. We always use the
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: two locks down by the door handle. I have no
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: idea why to even have that top slide lock on
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: our door. But you know, obviously, from the outside, even
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: if you have a set of keys, you can't control that.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: She got scared that she went downstairs and locked that.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: I was at work still. I come back from my shift.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: I can't get in. Everybody's asleep. I'm blowing up Brenda's phone.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: She's not answering. I didn't know what to do, so
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: I was like a nomad. I was driving around in circles.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: I went to an eyehop, I sat with my laptop
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: and did some work all night. Ben. It took until
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: about two in the morning that my wife woke up
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: realizing I wasn't around, and freaked out and called my
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: phone and I'm like, yeah, you think you're freaked out.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: I've been driving around in circles for five hours.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I think I remember you telling that story on the podcast.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think so. That was four or five
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: years ago when I first started doing the pod with you.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. Yeah, that's good. I
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: remember when the kid was little, he and one of
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: his cousins got locked. We had this weird at the
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: old house we had. There were these There was a bathroom,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: and there were doors on both sides of the bathroom, right,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: so one to the hall, one to one of the bedrooms,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: and these two knuckleheads locked themselves. Are they locked the no,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: they didn't lock themselves in. They locked one of the doors,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: and then on the way out they locked the other one,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: so both and you can only open them from the
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: inside or whatever. It was weird the way it was
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: set up slept. I had to I had to go
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: on YouTube and try to figure out how to break
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: break in the what tools you you know, how like
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: those indoor locks that aren't the outdoors that there's certain.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: Things, Yeah exactly. I think that's how most of these
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: accidents happen.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So I had to go on YouTube and
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: then I had to get I forget exactly what it was,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: but there's there's a couple of things you can get
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: and unlock the indoor things, but these it was like,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: what are you doing? You don't lock both doors? Knuckleheads?
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Like you know.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I was like, you know, kids, they like that's great.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Uh man?
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Uh? Who do we have a kwang from Ho Chi
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Minh Vietnam rights and says guaranteed human, just like the
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: iHeart imaging. If you noticed that Danny guaranteed human. Oh yeah,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: all right, We'll see how long they use that. Uh.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: He says. The domain name Benmallard dot com is for sale.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: On go Dead for the buy now price of thirteen
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: nine hundred and eleven dollars. He said, since Mickey Rourke
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: claimed that his GoFundMe page was a scam, do you
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: think that he would donate the money to buy your
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: former website on your behalf? I would be all about
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: that quite I actually did. There was a technical snafoo
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: a number of years ago when I stopped actively doing
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Benmallar dot com, which was my gossip website. And I
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: stopped it because of the radio show and many years ago,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: and you have to keep renewing it. And my old
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: one of my older my older brother. I'm in the middle,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: so my older brother had been kind of taking care
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: of that for me, and he got busy at his
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: work and he forgot to send the thing in and
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: within like a day of forgetting to buy the you know,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: keep the domain name, it had been purchased, and it's
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: actually gone down. That thing, I'm pretty sure was over
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars to buy my name dot com because
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I had so much.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's your salary for the whole year.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: You're not kidding. I had so much traffic at that time.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: We did. Really you know I was obviously ESPN or
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: anything like that, but we had a ton of traffic
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: on that website when I was actively updating it, and
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I did a couple of years ago think about maybe
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: futzing around and doing something online again, kind of multitask
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: and uh and before the TV show started again and
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: we did that, and so I did look into it,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, there's no way. I mean,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not that's ridiculous.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: I think the alternate route is to go Bill Miller
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: dot com.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Clearly, if anybody wants to buy me Bill Miller dot com, please,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: so Quang, thank you for looking that up. I appreciate it,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: and he says alongside, see you later. Excavator baby CooA
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: canw also read Dingle Hoppers and Thingama Bob's both available
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: now on Amazon. So there's a link here, Danny if
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: you want to buy the kid the Dingle Hoppers and
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: thingam a Bob's. I like that, there's a book. It's
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: always a Disney vice.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I like the excavator line because if it's
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: a famous Blippy song, if you have a toddler or
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: little kids, you know this. See Slippy. He has this
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: hit song called excavator, and he says, I'm an escavator
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: and parents walk around singing that song to themselves all day.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: I like this book though, I like the name. I
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: love those old sounding words. As we've talked about, Danny,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: thing of a jig what you might call it, the
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: all that stuff, dingle hoppers. I'm gonna have to add
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: that to my lexicon. I do use thingham a bob's.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I'm more of a thing of a jig guy than
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: a thing of a bob guy. I can work in
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: thingham a bob. I do like dingle hoppers. I'll have
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: to add that to my lexicon. Thank you very much.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Kwang from ho Chi, Men, Vietnam. Mike from Wisconsin writes
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: in he says, Ben and Danny, I've heard you Ben
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: talk about how you like you make the call commercials
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: from back in the day. I also like those commercials,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: So you make the call. And then he sent a
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: story about a guy in Italy who has been making
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: headlines here. Apparently there's a dog in Italy whose owner
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: the police have accused of training it to illegally dump
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: trash outside. So this guy apparently has got the dog trained.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: He gives the dog a bag of trash, and the
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: dog walks to the end of the street and drops
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: the trash off and then walks back. It's on tape
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: in Italy, and so Mike wants to know is this
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: really creative or is this really lazy? And that's from
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Mike in Wisconsin. So how about all of the above.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: It is creative, it's dedicated. I would say, Danny that
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Caesar a long level dog training to get your dog.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: I can't get Moxie to do anything, as we talked
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: about on yesterday's podcast, Moxie, we can't get her to
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: eat a lot of food and then cause mountains of
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: pooh all over the house. But other than that, like,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: are you that lazy? Don't you have trash? If you're
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: living in an apartment or a home, there's trash, right,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: you have to have a place to throw your stuff with,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Like what is the point of littering like that? I
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: don't understand. Are you charged for the trash or something
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: like that. That's the part that doesn't make any sense
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: to me. I understand being lazy, and like having your
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: dog do it, why not if you're in an apartment building.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: I used to live in Park Lebray in La we
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: had a trash chute. Was great, just squalk down the
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: hall throwing the trash ute. Teach your dog to go
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: to the trash chute and throw it down the hall.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: There's got to be more to this story, right Danny.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Because we have ye
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: in our building here there is a couple of covered dumpsters.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: They put like this nice red brick thing around it,
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: so you can't tell there's trash in there. We can't
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: even get our kids to walk the trash bags over there.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: So if I had a dog that would do that
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: for me. Oh that's money right there.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that guy instead of having his dog do that,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: he should start a service to train other people's dogs
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: how to take the trash out that way.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I would teach my dog how to
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: piss on the red brick. It just right if you're dumping.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: The trash right there?
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: Two for one special, good doggy, lift your leg now,
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: all right? Come on?
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a fird dog in Fullerton, right, Sin says happy
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: two twenty two day Ben and Danny g He says, Ben,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: do you get a little annoyed or jealous by callers?
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Like Anthony in Louisiana, who call the show just to
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: flirt with Lorena. I'm not suggesting you swing that way,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: but I'm sure you and Danny g would both be
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: flattered if more callers flirted with you. That's from further
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: well back in the day, this is before Danny worked
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: at five Sports Radio. We had one of the callers' names,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I'm Sandy gout He. I mean, there's a guy from Nashville,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Tennessee called Gay Brad. That was his name, is gay
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: guy from Nashville, and he would he would call, but
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I don't think he flirted. I don't think he flirted
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: with me. Yeah, this guy, Anthony Danny from Louisiana, he
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: calls up a couple of times a week and he
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: he says, hot man, and then Hello, Lorena, how you
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: doing Lorena? And then just he's just talking to Loraina
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: and it's a flirt with her, and it's very awkward.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: But he's not alone. There's there's a bunch of dudes
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: that do it. I've become numb to it at this point.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: For a dog, it's just kind of a it's just,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: you know, that's the way it is. You're just gonna
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: deal with it. But man, it is a little awkward
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: that you would what's going on in your world where
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: you know, I understand guys get a loan, you know,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: women in the picture. I understand that I've been in
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: that spot before. But you know, I'm trying to be
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: polite to I'm trying to be politged.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: I got too skinny. You got too skinny from all
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: the fasting, Ben, because you almost had boobs.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: I was very close to having massive, massive breasts. Yes,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: all right, thank you for you can flirt with me
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: for Dick.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Remember that drop and I saw her boobs. Oh yeah,
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: I'm a believer.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a classic. Brian from Minnesota Rights in
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Big Benny says, we can all agree that the players
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: just simply don't care about the All Star Game and
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl anymore. Two things have changed during the
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: time it was watchable to what it is now social
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: media and sensitive athlete slash owners. Before social media, players
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: and owners could tune out the booze and negativity because
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: the means of expressing displeasure were limited. Now we have
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: players and owners with burner accounts because they're on the
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: defensive for their reputations. We have an owner in the
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: New York Jets. Suck Suck. Suck put the killed on
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: the NFLPA reviews of team facilities and the experience and
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: all that. Brian says. They say they want to go
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: global band, but they don't want to hear what they
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: have to say. Why would any player entertain fickle fans
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: that one moment will wear their jerseys and burn it
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: the next Well, that's part of the it's part of
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: the deal. That's the first thing. And he had the burner.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: The players have always been sensitive. I remember when I
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: covered the Dodgers in the nineties, they had a guy
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: named Mike Piazza who was in the home run derby
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: one year. I think it was in Pittsburgh or Philadelphia.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: He didn't get a ball out of the infield and
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: he never did the home run derby again. That was it.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: He would go on to be a bigger star with
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: the Mets, but he never did the derby again because
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: he was so embarrassed because he couldn't. He just was
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: not a batting practice home run derby guy.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: And Jesus, you had a bigger hit in a celebrity
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: game at Dodgers Stadium.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Am right? Baby damn right. Although I did injure my
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: knee in one of those media baseball games and I'm
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: still feeling the effects of that all these years later.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: I should retroactively sue the Dodgers. Ryan writes in from Shrewsbury, mass.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: He says, been the story, the key story on Friday
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: was truly fascinating. Well, I'm glad because this guy Mark
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: and Reno is ripping me for the key story, So
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that you appreciate it. Ryan, I had a
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: surprise ending. Also a big fan of bringing back Footy fun,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: as I was one of those emailers that asked to
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: bring it back a couple months ago. He says. My
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: question this week, I listened to the last hour of
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: the Overnight Show when I'm heading to work. I actually
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: saved the FSR number under your name so I can
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: call it call in. Every time I call, I get
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: the dial tone. Maybe I'm calling too late, but I
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: don't know. When is the best time to call a show?
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Usually listening from five am to six am. That is
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: from Ryan. So normally Ryan, the top of the hour
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: is people hang up because that's our long longest pause
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: from like fifty six something to one thirty past the
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: top of the hour and ever we come on. So
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: typically the top of the hour is good. Earlier in
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: the show. It's actually easier to get in early in
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: the show. We have more people listening to the last hour,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: more people contributing the last hour, So earlier the better.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: And then it's also dependent on the person answering the
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: phones actually being paying attention to the phones. That sometimes
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: doesn't happen. So but typically earlier in the hours when
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: you can get in.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: That's Mike, and don't call in the last hour of
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: the show if you can avoid it, because that is
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: a replay of Ben's first hour of his overnight show.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Yes see, I only do one hour. Actually a lot
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: of people think I do four original hours of talk radio.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: But I'm too Danny, I'm very busy. I can't be
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: and Ryan, I can't stay up on it. I just
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: do one hour and then we just replay it. That's it.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Back out back. John and Joanna in so Cal write
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: ins say, hey, big Ben, my wife Joanna and I
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: were listening to the show on Monday night and heard
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: you mention our names and our interest in wee Bowl.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: In the beginning of the fourth hour. We know you
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: don't do shout outs, but this was flipping incredible.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: I'll pay that actually happened in the first hour.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, thank you so much. Yeah, that was not
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: And just for the record, out back John and your
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: lovely wife Joanna. That was not a shout out. That
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: was a mention, and a mention is much different than
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: a shoutout. A mention is allowed in copy. In copy.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: That is my tribute also to the great late Ernie Harwell,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: who was I didn't grow up in Michigan. I'm not
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: from Detroit, but Ernie Harwell I heard these amazing stories.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: I read a book about Ernie Harwell, who was a
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Tiger's broadcaster, actually a Brooklyn Dodgers broadcaster before that. But
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Ernie Harwell would just he'd throw names in there of
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Tiger fans and somebody'd hit a foul ball, Danny, and
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: he'd say, what a great catch by Steve from Flint, Michigan,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: you know, or something like that. And so I thought, well,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: if it was good enough for Ernie Harwell. I met
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Ernie when he was very late in his life, and
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: I thought, why not. You know, I don't know a
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: great Ernie harwell, he says, Now want of the mailbag question?
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Out back John? When it comes to enchiladas? Do you
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: prefer red beef or green chickens? From John? Outback John?
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: So is it's really the green sauce or the red sauce?
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Which one do you? Which one do you prefer? I'm
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: more of a green guy. I go green. What about you, Danny?
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: My better half is like you. She goes after the green.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: I go after the red sauce. That's the better sauce.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: I'm a green guy. I'm a green teamer. I'm a
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: green teamer. What else I meant?
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: Your teeth are green? Hey?

  Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah. I'm heading a Las Vegas soon,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Slim the Trucker says. But I don't gamble at all.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: I still want to actually experience the city and come
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: home with some good stories, not just say I walk
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: through casinos. He says. I figured you and the malor
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Militia would have some great ideas food spots, hidden gems,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: strange attractions things most taurusts. Miss Slim says, I'm open
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: to anything. Well Slim, I would recommend I went last
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: time I was in Vegas, I went to this. It's
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: a little off the strip. The Neon Museum is really cool.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: It's pretty neat. They got a bunch of old Vegas signs,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: hotel signs, take a lot of photos. It's great for
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: social media engagement if you're into that kind of thing
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: or just having some unique photos. I would recommend that.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: There's also a lot of my favorite restaurants are over
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: in Henderson, which is where the Raiders facility is, so
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: you can actually see it. It's the Raider practice Facilities assive.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: The thing is a monstrosity. So if you want to
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: drive by that just to say that you did it,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: let me see if I can find I'm gonna name
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: some restling.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Jim Gray would be so disappointed in you right now.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, I know, that's that's right. Jim Gray's got a
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: museum with all of his old uh all this old
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: memorabilia that.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: Is yeah, him and Tom Brady, the Hall of Excellence what.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Is that the Is it the Fountain Blue Home?
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: Oh? I think sure, yeah, sure is.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Have you been to it?
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: Any of you? No? Next time I go to Vegas,
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: so I think I'm gonna check it out.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And Jim's got an epic collection of of trying
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: to find the places in that I'd like to eat at. Yeah,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Jim's amazing collection of stuff. So here, Slim the Trucker
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: some of the places that I like. Let me see
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: we can find. My favorite barbecue spot is in Henderson's
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: called Big Bees Texas Barbecue. I recommend that. My favorite
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: pizza place in Vegas is all and Henderson's called Twisted
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Sour Dough Pizza. They've got this huge mazzarella stick thing
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: that's really bad for you, but man is it good.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: And they have these pizza cones which are really bad
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: for you, but they're they're pretty good. But Big Bee's
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Barbecue I love that and then that pizza place. Those
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: are my two favorites. There's some good restaurants off the
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: strip and went in Vegas. Just walk around Fremont Street.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: You want to see people doing fentanyl, people doing crack,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: women shaking their ass. Some that you wish wouldn't shake
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: their ass. It's all there right there on Fremont Street.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: And I think they raised the price of parking down there,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: so any other Vegas I know, Red Rock is where
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: the money is. That's where the rich people live in Vegas,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: off the strip, the Red Rocket.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: I would also suggest a tour of Allegiant Stadium.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you did that, Danny, right, you did the
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: back Yeah.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: It was really cool. You don't even need to be
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: a football fan or a Raiders fan to do that.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: Stadium is next level and they take you behind velvet
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: rope there, so you get to see all the intricate
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: workings of that stadium.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: That's cool. Yeah, right on. Uh yeah, there's a lot
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: to do.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: The Arts District in in Vegas surprisingly kind of cool.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: It's relatively new, a lot of thrift shops, restaurants so
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: you don't have to gamble. There's a few museums over
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: there too. I don't remember when the name of them,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: but it's called the Arts District in Vegas. You can
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: go to that Pond shop, Slim the Trucker. That's what's
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: the name of that show that Pond Stars?
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Is that still on Pond Stars or did that get stars? Yeah,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: their store. There are actual stores right across from City
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Hall in in Vegas, so those are something that's weird.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: Though you don't see any of the actors when you
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: going to the store.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: I wonder why, uh, Howard from Vegas speaking of that,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Howard from Vegas rites in how about that? Aarondipity? He says,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Ben and Danny. I know you guys are long long
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: past the school age, but can you explain to me
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: why that twelve year old kid that went viral this
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: week decided to drive himself to school because he missed
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: the bus. That's from Howard.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: You're asking about a twelve year old driver.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, You're asking the wrong guy. I found reasons
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: not to go to school, Danny. I hated going to school.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: I couldn't stand it. I was the fat kid that
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: got picked on at school. I couldn't stand it.
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: I hated it.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: So the idea that you would miss the bus and
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: I took the bus, believe it or not. You know,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: growing up in the Orange Groves of Orange County, I
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: took the bus to school, which blows me away when
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: I think about it, but I did. Now my mom
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: is so protective. But she's like, I get on the
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: school bus, who cares? And I was like in kindergarten
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: taking the school bus anyway. Yeah, Like if I missed
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: the bus, I'd be like, Okay, I'm gonna watch Bob
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Barker on the Rice is right, and I'm gonna watch
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Bob Ross do some paintings on PBS because there's nothing
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: else on. And if I'm lucky, I'll remember to watch
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Monty Hall on Let's make a Deal. And that was
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: all we had. But yeah, that's why the twelve year
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: old kid in North Carolina missed the bus and drove
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: himself to school. That is dedication that gets you get
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: some kind of award, is what he should get. Man.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, I got a bunch.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: Of other random pick one last good one.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: All right? I got we got a Japanese one or
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: a McDonald's one. You you picked, Danny, Okay.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: There were comments about how people loved how you brought
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: foody fun back. So let's go McDonald's, all right.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: JJ from Seattle says, guys, I know you love your
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: fast food. Actually I don't really eat much other than
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: raising canes anyway, JJ says, what do you think of
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: McDonald's becoming one of the world's biggest sock sellers. And
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: then he sent me this. Apparently they have a Grinch meal.
• 39:05

• 39:09
