  Speaker 1: Kutbooms.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to the clearinghouse
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: of hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Hour with Ben Mahller starts right now.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Mahler and Danny g Radio A happy Sunday if you
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: happen to live in a place like we live in
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: where you flip the clocks back an hour, so a
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: little extra sleep here on an NFL Sunday, Week nine
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: of the NFL. Are we gonna sit here and talk
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: about the NFL. Danny, No, no, no, you don't bury
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the lead, my man. That's right, my man. We are
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: still in the afterglow. There's still some smoke in the
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: air from the hoodlums in La there celebrating, but the
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Dodgers in Toronto last.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Wait, I must be one of the hoodlums because I
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: just shot off my last firework like an hour ago.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: I have not gone to bed.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Yet you gotta go down to TJ and get some more.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: But the Dodgers have won the World Series in a
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: improbable a team that was supposed to win. It looked
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: like they were cooked in that game last night. So
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: obviously a lot on that are in depth team coverage
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the morning after post mortem on another championship for the Dodgers.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Nine World Series wins as a franchise, the Dodgers now
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: moving into a three way tie for the third most
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: franchised World Series wins all time. The only teams that
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: have more are what the they think the Cardinals and Yankees? Right,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I believe that's it? So yeah, the Dodgers. Some of
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: those were in Brooklyn, but who cares about that. Let's
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: focus in Danny g on what was wacky?
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: That's funny because you don't give the Lakers credit for
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: that Minneapolis title.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Well though nobody watched the NBA back in those his
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: baseball was popular when but Will Smith Will Smith homering
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: in the eleventh any last night, Miguel Rojas who sucks
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: connecting on home run to type embarrassing for the Blue Jays.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: So the Dodgers win Game seven, five to four.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Wait a second, though Mickey doesn't suck. I think he
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: was the key to the comeback and everything that happened
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: in Game six and seven, because if you recall, who
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: was the lone man standing on the dugout steps. Yeah, well,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: after that horrid loss in Los Angeles, there was one
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: man who seemed to care more than every other Dodger
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: and his name was Miguel Rojas.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's fine, and I'm happy he hit the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: home run at all. He's not a great player, but
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: this and the Dodgers they're three nothing. They always say,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: don't you can give up a run in a closeout game,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: but if you give up a crooked number where it's
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: like two or three runs, you're usually porked at that point.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: And the Dodgers were down three to nothing early in
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the game, and then they got closed. It was three
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: to two, and then the Blue Jays got another run.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: It was three to one, and then four to two,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: and you know who that for them? The baseball gods
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: did not take fondly to Clement and his pussy leg
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: up slide into home plate.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, the Dodgers got out of a bases loaded
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: jam in the ninth also, and so they are the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: first National League team to repeat since the nineteen seventies Reds,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the Big Red Machine and then the Yankees in the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: American League in the late two thousands. But the Will
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Smith home run off Shane Bieber into the Blue Jays
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: bullpen there, and that was the first time the Dodgers
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: had a lead, and it was in the eleventh inning,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and then it still looked like they were gonna f
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: up Danny after that. So as we talk about this,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: what are you going to remember from the twenty twenty
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: five Dodgers World Championship here? And I mean the champagne
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: is still being popped from Toronto to Malibu to Tokyo
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: and everywhere in between here. But I guess for me,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: it's that they were supposed to win. They won, all
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the payroll, the players being pampered, the private jets, all
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: that stuff. They probably had a sushi chef on one
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: of the planes carving up whatever. But you know, they won,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and that's they were supposed to win. They did what
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: they were supposed to do. And the other thing too,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: And I mentioned this on yesterday's podcast, Danny, and it's accurate.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Will Smith, not the slapper, the catcher, goes men in
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: black in Toronto, and that home run was the neuralizer
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that thanks to that home run by Will Smith, that dinger,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: everyone's gonna forget about how bad Otani pitched, how bad
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Snell pitched. Blake Snell had an ERA of six point
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: nine two. We actually came in Game seven in relief Otani.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Some quick note on Snell though, one good little spot there,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: and then when Roberts decided to stay with him. Thank
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: god Snell was bad enough to make way for Yamamoto,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: because if Snell had just been mid that could have
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: spelled the end for Dodger fans and the Dodgers, because
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: if he had just been good enough to have Roberts
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: keep him in until the Blue Jays eked out the win.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: So I'm glad that Snell sucked just enough the second
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: time he got on the mound there.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: That was a good kind of suck there for Snell.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: So but think the Dodgers win the World Series. Snell
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: ended up with a six ninety two ERA in the
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: World Series, which went down by the way, he was
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: over ten. He was over ten at one point. O'tani
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: on the mound just as a pitcher had an ERA
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: of seven point seven to eight in the World Series.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: But Will Smith with that neuralizer, people will forget about that.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: They'll also forget Mookie Betts batter at a buck thirty
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: eight in the World Series, won thirty eight one three of.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Their I'll remember Bets double play there to end it.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, listen, he had won the game six hit,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: he drove in a couple runs there.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: How about pas not even being able to pop the
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: ball up to the outfield to get the sacrifice run.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: But prior to that, obviously, when he was switched in
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: for defense, what a fricking play there. He basically pushed
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Kik out of the way. To me, that was the
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: pinnacle of that game, which was one of the most
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: exciting Game sevens in baseball I've ever seen. But I
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: think we got to go back to the eighteen inning marathon.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: You made a great point by giving Will Smith some kudos.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: The other thing that kind of goes unnoticed is Will
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Smith pot all eighteen of those innings. They laughed on
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: the broadcast the following day. They said that Dave Roberts
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: went up to him and said, Hey, how you feeling,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: And He's like, I'm fine. Why why you ask, But
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: remember their fat catcher on the blue Jays. He didn't
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: make all eighteen innings. They had to use two catchers
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: there for the blue Jays. Will Smith is a robot
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: just as much as Yamamoto is.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got He's my favorite blue Jay though Christian Kirk,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: because he just doesn't look like a baseball. But he's
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: like a big fat they're not big fat guy, a
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: little fat guy.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: But I liked that.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: He's a good thing.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: He's Chris Farley, fat guy in a small jet.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I actually I was texting some people. I kind of
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: like that guy. He's like I wish he was. Dodgers
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: won't have a catcher for a while because Will Smith
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: signed forever and he's I don't know how many more
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: years he's going to play. But man, so the Dodgers
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: win the World Series, all the all that stuff, as
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: we said, Otani, the batty, ra Snell, gookie bets, all
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: that stuff goes out the window. And also what would
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: have happened as we predicted yesterday in a previous episode
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: of the Fifth Hour podcast Danny, is that all the
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: talk about you know they were pampered, Yeah, they were pampered.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: They were absolutely pamped. They were coddled. It was a
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: country club set up. The Dodgers had the first team
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: ever to have two planes on the road. Everyone else
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: in pro sports has one plane and they had two,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and so it's goot Yoshinobu Yamamoto was absolute nails, big balls,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: ninety six pitches on Friday, came back yesterday less than
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: twenty four hours later, got out of that basis loaded
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: jam in the ninth and you know the.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Sort of told Ju last weekend, Nolan Ryan like nowadays
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: most pitchers are little cry babies.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, ends up with an ERI of one o five
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: one point five in the World Series, and that is
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: like a monk meditating on the mound watching him pitch it.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: So you're always skeptical and it's still gonna end up
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: being a disaster at the end. He signed for three
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: hundred and twelve twenty five million for twelve year years, right,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: so I mean this guy the back.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: They're going to get their money back next season on him,
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: the same way they did on Otani.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Right away, I'm just saying, like when the last five
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: years are not going to be pretty, But who cares
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: about that? Right now? We don't care about that.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: And it's going to be our kids problem exactly. And
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised you haven't mentioned the cheating acts stroke.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Oh well, I was very pleased that not only was
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: George cheater springer hobbling around out there, he walked off
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: the field a loser, a loser.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: And then but Rob, how about that little baby Jimenez?
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Oh oh yeah, Well he started the bench is clear.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: He was trying to get hit by the pitch and
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: then you get called out on it, and then he
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: got defensive and then everyone goes running out of the bullpens,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: which is like the dumbest thing of all time and
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. But there you go, so Yamamoto, quiet efficient,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: no drama, just dominated on the mound and more sports
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: amnesia there. But wait there's more. But wait, there's more,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: more strikeouts, more pop ups, more more weekly hit one hoppers,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: back to the moud and the the jinks of Drake
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: will live on the jinks of Drake. And also I
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: saw some stuff. I saw some stuff after the game
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: last night, Danny, where people saying, well, remember when Vladimir
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Guerrera showed up wearing that Austin Matthews sweater earlier in
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: the playoffs and see see he wore he wore an
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Austin manual Toronto Maple Leafs guy, And so that was
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the equivalent of wearing like a Titanic life vest before
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: boarding your Carnival Cruise Lines ship and all that. So
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the the Blue Jays are done, the Dodgers are the
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: champions of all and the Blue Jay's new nickname the
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Toronto Blue Jays. See it's blue, but.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Are the champions? All right? Have one last thing for you,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: because I want to see how you're going to deal
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: with this later tonight, early Monday morning when you're on
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: the network. Yeah, I had one picture. I didn't do
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: a lot of tweets, but I did one picture. I
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: busted Rob Parker's balls. That was fun. You can go
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: to at Danny G Radio to see that. And then
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: I just put an MVP picture of Yamamoto. Christopher Lee
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: aka Spacoli replied back with a picture of that wedged
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: ball and next to the wedged ball is a big asterisk.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: All the trolls are gonna blame that on the Blue
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Jays losing the series? What say you?
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I say those people can go eat a shit, Sam,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: which that's what I say, Danny G Please, my God
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: of all things, the Blue Jays had the lead for
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of that game and efed it up
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: and it wasn't because of that play. It's absurd, But
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: that's why everything every time.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: That ball did come to a dead stop wedge in
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: between Yeah, the turf in the in the patting there.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: So I don't think you could say I love how
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: people are posting pictures of that Mets play where the
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: ball was underneath the fence that clearly wasn't wedged. The
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: ball in Game six was wedged.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean, if that's where you're going find,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: you know, let's overlook all the incompetence of this rond oblivion.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Spaccoli ought to worry about his Steelers. In fact, I
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: want to get to the mailbag because his email he
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: sent me a couple of messages. Why don't we get
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: why don't we get on al in here and we'll
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: get right to the mail bag.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: It's all right, This is a great jumping off point,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Danny G. So Spaccoli, the aforementioned Spaccoli, was upset with me.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: He wanted he was upset. I wasn't active on social media.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I wasn't on Twitter. He wanted some snarky World Series tweets,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: he said, and he sent me a message an email,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: and then he was like, I guess he had posted
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: this stuff on Twitter. And so my take on that,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I would like to address this because every once in
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: a while I get this, I like.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Well, are you not?
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: You should be on social media during the game and
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: all that. So Spaccoli's all bent out of shape that
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I did not live tweet Game seven in the World Series, Like,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: oh my god, this is horrible. I didn't give away
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: my content for free on x what that is a
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: national tragedy, Like seriously, god forbid that we just watched
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the game like human beings. I don't need to monetize
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: the hot takes there. And why would you pay for
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: the cow? Isn't that the line Dan we used to
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: hear that work kids. Why would you pay for the
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: cow when you get the milk for free? We got
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: to save the a material for the podcast for the
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: radio show. That is a business move, Spacoli. You don't
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: tweet your talking points, your monologue, whatever before you go
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: on the air. That would be like leaking a set
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: list before the concert, like you. No, if you want
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: to whine, you can wind. We are in the pay
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: to play business here. It is the matrix of the media.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: And if you want to play blue pill red pill,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the blue pill is live tweeting for clout. The red
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: pill is cashing checks behind the microphone. Now, I choose
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: the red pill every once in a while, I'll give
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: a free sample out, I'll do the blue Pill every
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: once in a while, and I'll do an ask Ben
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: now and again and all that stuff. But you know,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: not logging into x to please Spacoli. That's not my
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: life's work here. I like to stay in Wonderland, where
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the ratings are and where we get paid. Now, if
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the company wants to pay us to go on social media,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: I am more than happy to go on there. If
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: there's a check involved in it, I will go on
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: there all the time. But generally speaking, they don't pay us.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: In fact, more times than not, the the social media
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: platforms will get you in more trouble than the radio
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: show will. So that's my take on that. But uh yeah,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I'm happy the Dodgers won. I wasn't on I was watching.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: I was you know what I do, Danny now, and
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I've determined, I've I've got a kind of a core group,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: and there's a lot of few text messages to go around,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Daniel, You're you're texting your
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: friends and you're going back and forth. Well if that
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: guy f that guy, and then you're you know, the
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: stuff that you might send out on social media. But
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: I just do it in a tight circle of people
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: that are around, you know, in my in my circle,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: and that's it. And I'm fine with that, and I
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: don't need to put it all out there on social
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: media in real time. So there you go. But Cooley,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: knock yourself out, all right.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: I wedge your balls into a fence.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Exactly a Scott from Florida Rights and it says, Hey, Ben,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you saw the video of the
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Hurricane Hunter's plane hitting turbulence as it flew into Hurricane
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Melissa's I this week, for the AI in the world,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: for all the AI of the world, it still seems
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: like ten to fifteen people are needed to fly that
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: version of the vomit comet into the eye of the
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: hurricane to take measurements. Do you think you could handle
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: that flight as a passenger if they offered you a seat,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: or would you pass on taking the flight for science? Well,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: first of all, Scott, I'm pretty low on the list
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: of people they would ask. I don't think I'm right
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: near the top. I've only been on a couple of
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: flights knock on wood here that have had serious turbulence,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: and really only one that was really like I thought
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I might vomit or something like that, But for the
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: most part it's only been minor turbance, So I don't
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: see any reason to do that. If I had a
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: chance to go to the Moon and it was safe,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I might go do something like that. Yeah, I'm good.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I don't need to go on the actual vomit commet.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I see the vomit commet every postseason in baseball. I
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: saw Toronto ride the vomit comment on Saturday night, their
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: bullpen and some of their bats riding the vomit commet.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: And next time we see the vomit commet will be
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: the college football playoff, and then the NFL playoffs, and
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: then the NBA and then the whole thing. So what
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: about you, Danny, would you want to go on a
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: hurricane flying plane? A plane that flies into the eye
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: of a hurricane. Is that something that has any any
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: interest to that?
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Danny? This kind of reminds me too. You took the
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: same tour I did of the coast line there in Kawaii. Yes,
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: what is that? Nepali?
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: The poly coast the most beautiful place I've ever been
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: on God's Green Earth in the poly coast.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Yes, I took a helicopter ride over that coastline. Amazing
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: and scary at times. So to then want to go
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: into a helicopter or a plane that goes into a
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: storm on purpose and I'm cool on that.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, it's a little much, but I'm glad people
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: are willing to do it. Imagine when you get to
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: the eye of the hurricane, everything's calm like okay, but
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: then you know you have to go out. There's no
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: there's only one way out, and that's going back through
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: the hurricanes.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: So all right about flying into the Bermuda Triangle though,
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: to finally figure what the hell that was all about, Yeah.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: We really haven't heard anything about that in years, right,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Remember when we were kids, it was that was a
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: massive thing, the Bermuda Triangle. When's the last time something
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: did they must have figured something out on that, because
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: we don't. I don't recall hearing anything about planes or
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: boats vanishing in years. Am I missing something? Maybe it happened?
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: And I yeah, interesting, alf from the Smurf Kitchen says,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: what's the best way to reheat aluminum foil in the microwave? Well, unfortunately,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: alf our friend Lorena is not available, but I'll send
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: her a text message and see what's what's going on.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: She heated up a sandwich the other day, Danny and
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: she had a nice, delicious sandwich and she put it
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: in the microwave there and she walked away and the
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: things started smoking, and apparently the sandwich was covered in
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: hidden aluminum foil. Made quite quite the scene there at
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: the Smurf Kitchen in Sherman Oaks. Quite the scene apparently.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: So were there flames.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: From what I was not in the room, but from
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: when I am told there were some flames that popped
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: up a little bit, so yeah, yeah, nice, Yeah, generally
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: you try to avoid that, but do you know yeah
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: ferg dog and Fullerton writes in on the mailbag. He says,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: greeting's been and Danny g Ben you said some something
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: on your award winning radio show this week. That couldn't
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: be more true. You said, if you get a king
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: size candy bar while trick or treating on Halloween, you'll
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: remember that even when you're fifty. Yeah, I told this story,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I said before Halloween, Danny. I said, if you want
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: to be the coolest person in the neighborhood, and you
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: truly want to touch the lives of children in a
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: very subtle way, that will last for thirty forty years
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: of their lives when they're adults, and they will tell
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: the story to their kids that they were trick or
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: treating this list old dude gave out full size Snickers bars,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: you know, king size. And then with Ferg Doog says,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: there was a house at the end of the of
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: mice eat growing up, they gave out full or king
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: sized candy bars and I'll never forget it. Never. They
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: had a son named Elliott. I hope he's carrying on
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: the family tradition now. Ferg Dog also says, you mentioned
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Ronda ROUSI a story that you didn't have time for.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Could you please tell it now, Danny g and the
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: rest of the world would love to hear it. I
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: don't know that Danny g wants to hear it, but
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: I'll go back and tell the quick version, the thumbnail
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: recap for fer Dog. So this goes back roughly fifteen years,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: maybe a little shorter than that, maybe a little longer
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: than that.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: So just the time she told you if you could
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: pit her in the ring, she would sleep with you close.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: So I was doing a show with, of all people,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Chris Myers. I could because I care. Oh, oh, the
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: great Chris Myers. I was sitting in for Brian Cox,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: who used to be a linebacker in the NFL and
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: hated my guts.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: So anyway, Christ think you could say that word on
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: the air.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Chris Myers and me, we're hanging out doing the show,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: and Ronda Rousi was doing a round of media. This
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: is before women's UFC became really a thing, and she
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: was like this curiosity, Danny. Remember when Ronda Rowsi came
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: on the scene, she was like a beautiful woman and
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: was like, whoa beautiful woman likes the violence? You know,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: that's kind of odd, what's going on. She was doing
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of media, trying to build her stuff up
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: even bigger, and as she was becoming a star and
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: a day before she came on the show, she was
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: in studio like Ronda came in. She lives in At
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: that time, she lived in LA. I think she was
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: from Riverside, but she was in LA and she the
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: day before had gone I guess as viral as you can.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Fifteen years ago she had done an interview with Jim
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Rome literally like a day before You're a Pig. And
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: you might remember this, Danny, because it made a big
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: story at the time. She had said that before fight,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: she tried to have as much sex as she could.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: As I remember that, yeah, yeah, it was a big story.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: It's like, whoa dude, what's up? Because you know, for always,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: for time out as long as I can. So I's like, man,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: don't have sex before a big game. It's going to
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: dr energy and all that stuff. Well, she was like,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: I was a woman, I want to have as much
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: sex as I can. And so we had her on
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: in studio the next day. So we're like, oh, this
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: is gonna be cool. We're going to follow up, you know,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: because the thing went all over place. So we asked
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: her me and Chris and she she she didn't want
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: to talk about it. She got very shy and It
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: turns out the reason she didn't want to talk about
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: it for Dog and Danny was because her younger sister
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: was with her, and she was embarrassed to talk about
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: having sex because her younger sister was with her, even
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: though she had just talked about it the day before.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: It was very bizarre.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: But well, I guess that she didn't know whether or
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: not her little sister was tuned into the Rome show.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: But I guess if the sister was like right there
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: with her. Yeah, she's trying to be a good role model. Yeah,
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: my god. But the bad timing because we both had
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: situations where an athlete was being interviewed and they were
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: giving like one word answers. It's the worst.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: No, it's it's like you're questioning what did you do?
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Life choices? Loser? All right, who's next to the mailbag?
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Let's go. We have Kwang from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam.

  Speaker 1: I really should. Danny I have more nicknames than anyone
• 23:34

• 23:41
  Speaker 3: you're now you're giving me an upset stomach.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: What better way to celebrate than just enjoying the role.

  Speaker 1: Next up on the mailbag, Reggie from Detroit writes in
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: he says, sorry, I've been away, gentlemen, I was on vacation. Okay,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: it's allowed, Reggie. I think I think we're You can
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: still email. I think ferg Dog and Alf still email
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: while they're on vacation. Not that the people around them
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: like that. Reggie says, there was a survey out recently
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: said the number of close friendships the average American has
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: has fallen to four. Ben and Danny, how many close
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: friends do each of you have? Thanks Reggie. Back at
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: work in Detroit. All right, Reggie, I'm gonna go close
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: means long term, long term friend. That's kind of in
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: the rotation. I would say, hey, I have I don't
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: even think I have four. I only think I have three.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: I have a lot of fake friends. I have a
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: lot of work friends, and like, work friends are cool,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: but as soon as you stop working together, you never
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: talk to them again. You know, they're just they're they're
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: they're work friends. They're friends because you have a job
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: to do. And and there's people there's only people I'm
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: friendly with that I get along with, but they're people
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: that are not close. So to answer your question, Reggie,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: I think I am at three. I think I am
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: only at three. What about you, Danny? How many close friends?
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Reggie in Detroit is dying to know?
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: Are we counting our significant others?
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Well, they're they're contractually obligated to be your friends, so
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: you know, you know what I mean, Like you're.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: You're in a big job. So I would say two
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: from childhood and then maybe three from you know, being
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: an adult. So i'd say five for me.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I have one from my high school days,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: that's my gambling buddy, and then I have two that
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: I have picked up along the road of life. That
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: I would say, really really good good friends, and that's
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: that's pretty much it. I mean, I'm fine, I have
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: casual people whatever. We'll check in all that. Scott from
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Northern Kentucky writes, and he says, Hey, Ben and Danny,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: hopefully you're reading this after the Dodgers have come back
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: to win two games. But I am skeptical as they
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: have returned. Are these sleepwalking ways in the middle of
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: the season. Well yeah, you'd be very happy.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: Oh you be skeptical, you be wrong?
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, there you go, he says. First of all,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: what happened to the Ohio meet and greet just disappeared
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: and was never mentioned again. Bad job by you. Yeah, So, Scott,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: we had some stuff worked out. We thought we had
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: an agreement on a venue and some other logistical things,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: and then it all fell apart. And then there was
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: also some stuff where there were some conversations we had
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: not to get too much into how we make the
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: hot dogs, but with Ben versus the penny, and there
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: were some possibilities that that thing was going to get
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: picked up by a network during the season. So I
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: couldn't really commit to leaving because I had to be
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: available for that stuff. So anyway, of course, all that
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: did not work out. The deal that we had fell apart.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: I am still planning on going to see Dick in Ohio,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Dick and Dayton, and hopefully we'll do something in the
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati area, although I have a feeling we'll probably have
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: to go right to Dayton to get a hold of
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Dick and Dayton and all that stuff. But I do
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: plan on going once the weather gets better. Usually travel
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: start traveling after the weather's bad here in LA but
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I normally start going on some road trips April. So
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: plan on something here. And if anybody has a venue
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: in the Cincinnati or northern Kentucky or Dayton area that
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: would be interested, it's going to be a few months away,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: but reach out to us, let us know, and that'd
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: be great. And he said, my question is this, if
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: you had this is Scott. He says, if you had
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: to choose either hollering James whoopee pie Blair or blind
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Scott to be handcuffed too for a week to get
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: five million dollars, but the other two get lifetime golden
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: tickets to the radio show, who are you choosing? And
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: you can't quit because of the five million, He says,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: as always, I love the show, love the podcast. Mexican
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: John Dutton is still a Loraina simp even if he
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: blocked me on X for sending, So there you go. Okay,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Scott from northern Kentucky. So Scott, I would choose to
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: be handcuffed to hollering James. And here's why. I believe
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: James is harmless. And he would sleep eighteen to twenty
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: hours a day, so I'd only have to deal with
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: him for four hours a day.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: It would be a lot of snoring involved.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for blind Scott, I have no chance. Do I
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: want to be handcuffed to that? That lunatic And Blair's
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: a lunatic also, so I don't. I'm good on that.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: I'm okay, let him call the show. That's that's it.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: But a five million I would. I would absolutely be
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: handcuffed to hollering James for a week for five million,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: No problem about that. Kirk from Vegas writes in on
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour podcast. He says, gentlemen, I know this
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: is not coast to coast, but you know that means
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: he's lying about that. He wanted to ask us about
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: this object that has been making the Rounds in Nevada,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: says there was an object that crashed just outside Area
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: fifty one's military base and five five weeks after and
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: the crash has been covered up, both literally and figuratively.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: And George Knapp, according to Kirk, who's a regular on
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Coast to Coast, I think he hosted everyone on the weekends.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: George Knapp thinks the official story as told by the
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: military is false. He said, this happened on September twenty third,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: and it was just outside the boundary of Area fifty one,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: and it was a crash retrieval. And so there's I
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: don't know, what do you want me to add to that, Kirk.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there's all kinds of crazy stuff that would
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: make your mind explode if you knew what would happened
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: at Area fifty one.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: You know what, This gives me an opportunity to bring
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: back up the Bermuda Triangle, Yeah, because I looked it
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: up after we mentioned it, and it says there is
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: no major breaking news regarding the Bermuda Triangle. So we
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: were right about that. Recent scientific discussions, though, I focused
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: on debunking the mystery with experts like oceanographer doctor Simon Boxel,
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: suggesting rogue waves and other natural phenomena are the most
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: likely causes for disappearances. So this whole thing here about
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: rogue waves, buying that, come on, it's more than rogue waves.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, how great?
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Though.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: The Area fifty one thing, if what Kirk is saying
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: is accurate, I have no reason to say it's not accurate,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: is that that is a massive military base. They fly
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: people in from Vegas out to Area fifty one and
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: for whatever object crashed outside of the boundary. Imagine how
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: pissed off the people inside were. Oh man, we're just uts,
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: because they'll like shoot you if you get close to
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: that checkpoint outside Area fifty one. You can't get anywhere
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: near there. It's out in the middle of nowhere in
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: the Nevada desert. And then and then the thing crashes outside. Anyway,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: what is next here? Blake from Encino Hey, down the
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: road in Sino Man. Eh, there you go. That's a
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: dated reference, right next door to beautiful Sherman Oaks where
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: we do our radio shows from. He says, there's a
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: new status shoe, gentlemen. He says, forget about Nike and
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: all that. The most worn shoe on private jets. The
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Zegna triple stitch shoe. He wants to know if we're
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: interested in purchasing these shoes and they retail, Dan, have
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: you seen this? These shoes have been worn by everyone
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: from Apple CEO to powerful TV personalities. I've never heard
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: of these shoes.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: I looked them up right now? Those aren't those are weak?
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah? They charge eleven hundred dollars for these shoes. Eleven
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars to these shoes. They've been spotted on the
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: red carpet by actors Hugh Jackman, Nicholas Cage and others.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: They are laceless footwear, It says in the description casual
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Cool Vibes. They you know what they look like the
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: kind of shoes and nurse would wear in a nursing
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: like a nursing home. Right, doesn't that look like something
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: you'd wear in a nursing home. Depending on the.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: Color, well, they I'd rather have some Jordan's.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they say these shoes. They're very popular. There's no label,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: a symbol of quiet luxury, and they come in all
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: different colors depending on what you want to wear. Whatever
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: your your outfit is, they have shoes to match eleven
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars. You can go to Costco and get shoes
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: for forty bucks that are just better than that.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: Those Costco shoes look like forty dollars too.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Well, these look like the list look like you're ready
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: to work at a nursing home, or you're a patient
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: at a nursing home. Jack from Ohio rights and he
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: says Ben and Danny Gee a frustrated Bengals fan here,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: I saw that. Another frustrated Bengal fan claims the front
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: office was defensive when he called up to cancel his
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: season tickets. What is that about? Well, Jack, it's kind
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: of obvious what that's about.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: There.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: I'm not in Cincinnati. It's not like the Bengals are
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. We have to wait fifty years
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: to get tickets. And if you imagine working in Cincinnati's
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: ticket office and you have to sell tickets. And we
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: know from just our job, we have listeners to try
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: to keep people listening, and it's very difficult to get
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: a new customer. Retaining existing customers is the most cost
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: effective way of doing business rather than getting new customers,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: and studies have shown that getting a new customer can
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: cost five to seven times more than just retaining an
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: old customer. So yeah, that they're pissed because it's hard
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: to get people to buy Bengal To season tickets. And
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: then this whoever that is Jack bought the tickets and
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: now they don't want to buy him anymore, so they're
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: bowing out. And then they it's like they're pissed off
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: about that. I get it. What else do we have
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: to see? Page down? See where do we want to
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: go on this? Blah blah blah blah. I don't know.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: I think we're I mean, there's a couple more here.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: I'll do this. I'll get out on this. Tyler from
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Salt Lake. I'm sorry to Chris and Chris and Milwaukee
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: and Rick from Austin. I'm gonna do this last one
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: from Tyler, He says, gentlemen, are you guys interested in
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: a mad Max Tesla? You better get it fast? Tyler says,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: So did you know? I didn't know about this? Tyler
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: sent the story here. Tesla rolled out some new firmware, Danny,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: do you know about this? They added a pair of
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: new driving modules. They have the self driving feature, the FSD,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: the full self driving feature. One is called sloth, which
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: kind of is a casual, relaxed stand in the lane.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: No no no no no no. Uh. The other, and
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: this is the one Tyler brought up, is called mad Max. Now,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: this is the more aggressive model for Tesla. It actually
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: speeds through traffic, It swerves through cars to get to
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: get you to your destination faster while driving. It's the
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: one doing all the driving. And and so now people
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are starting to say,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: what are you doing? You You've programmed a car to
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: speed and to drive aggressively and illegally. And so now
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Tyler says, if you want this, you got to get
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: it quick because Tesla's going to have to get rid
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: of it because the FEDS are onto them. So, first
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: of all, I didn't know that was allowed. I thought
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: I just assumed that you wouldn't be able to do that, Danny,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: because they generally look down upon programming a car to
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: drive like a lunatic. What is the liability on that
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: if you get into an accident in the FSD full
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: self driving mode, but you happen to choose the Mad Max,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: like I don't know.
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: It's clearly the other driver's fault, so they didn't get
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: out of your way.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Obviously, without without a question, that is the case. But
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: are you going to the parade? Tomorrow?
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: Day?
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Is Monday, right, Tomorrow's Monday, the Dodgers parade.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: I mean no, I can't because I have to go
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: to the network to work.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: All right, And I can't because I have to sleep,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: so and I'm not a big parade guy. Anyway, I've
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: been to those in the past, when the Lakers. I
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: actually I was forced to go when the Lakers one,
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: I covered them when I was doing local radio.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: Nobody forced you. You are a closet Lakers fan. We
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: all know that.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: No, no, but it's very hot, and I remember the
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Laker one there were no bathrooms. People were defecating outside
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: because they didn't put enough bathrooms in and all that.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: It's going to be a beautiful Monday though.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: In nice. I'm sure Dave Roberts will say something. He
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: avoided the Dave Roberts Janks memory. He said, let's go
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: ruin baseball. It won't anyway, if they lost, it would
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: have been well. Dave Roberts said, let's ruin baseball. And
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: then the Dodgers they went out there and they lost,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: and his fault and all that stuff. So all right,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: on that note, we will get out. Thanks to Ohio
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: al again, thanks to everyone that sent emails in. I'm
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: sorry to the guys we didn't get your questions on
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: the air, but we had a lot to say about
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: the World Series and Danny. We will reassemble on Friday
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: for another fifth hour podcast. I'll be back tonight, full
