• 2:41
  Speaker 3: because when I first started with the network eleven years ago,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: we were giving away a Westinghouse TV.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Hey, don't knock a Westinghouse TV. When I've been here
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: so long, we were giving out radio Shack gift cards. Okay,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: let me.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Tell you you're giving away battery.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, pretty much, pretty much pretty much. But anyway, listen.

• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Benny's tonight. That's the big event any.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Award, And you know, I'm not sure if I'm gonna
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: call in or try to zoom with your show, but
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I heard I am going to get the Lifetime Podcast
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Achievement Award.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Lifetime Achievement, Well, you surely on the running for that.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: I have not yet gotten. I am thrilled.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm not privy to it, Danny, as you know.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I I'm just the host of the show. I don't
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: know who's gonna win and who's not gonna win. And
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: there's still time to vote. If you have not voted yet.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: There's a link on the Facebook page and also on
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: on Actually gonna have to scroll down a little bit.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Actually not that far. I think I sent out the
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: link again last night. So anyway, check it out. Vote
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: if you haven't voted, and trust me, there are several
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: categories where literally, Danny, like one or two votes can
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: sway the entire category. So it's that's power. That is
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: like you imagine you vote for the president of the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: United States, and it really depends like in Calornia, Danny,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: if you vote for a Republican in California, you might
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: as well wipe your ass with the ballot right, no
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: chance of winning. But in this election, who doesn't matter
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: what side you're on politically, you have a chance of
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: influencing who wins. So the Bennies are to night check
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: that out. But we've got mail and Ohio Al, can
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you get me in the mood? Ohio Al, It's all right,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: very good. First up is Alf from the Antiques road Show.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: He says, Ben, you've pointed out my new found affinity
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: for AI artistry. So I'll explain myself. First and foremost,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: we're all living in the matrix, and no one knows
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: what's real and what's fake. Since I am in fact
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: a bot, what more, what's more appropriate as an art
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: form for me to dive into? Then AI, well duly noted,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: we are all living in the matrix. You don't know
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: what's real what's not. That is correct, and AI even
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: fun to play around with. And I did like the
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: fact that. And you didn't see this, Danny, but Alf
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: put me at the Vatican with my wife. We were
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: meeting with the Pope and so I had a nice
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: meeting with the Pope. He's a White Sox fan and
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: there's a photo to prove that. Secondly, he says, I've
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: been a long time admirer of Mallard prop Guy's creations,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: and he pushes me to want to be a better
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: contributor to the show. That's good. Look get that legend,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: legend helping legend, Iron sharpens iron. As far as my
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: question to you and Danny, g is there any truth
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: to the rumor that Danny and Brenda bought you a
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: giant metal cock for Christmas because you were so attracted
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: to it. And then let me send this to you,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Danny here because this is this is the latest from
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: this is from alf and he says that you got
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: me that as a as a gift. Right there, you
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: can see essentially the link I was attracted to the
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: giant metal cock.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Ah, man, AI is just take over our universe.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: That is a giant cock, Danny, I gotta tell you
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: that's am.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, not quite, by the way, Ben. It was so
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: great because when Jake Paul recently sat down with President
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Trump speaking of elections, Yeah, Jake Paul said that he
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: was considering someday a transition into politics. They had a
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: quick conversation about that, and he said, you know, because
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: I want to impact some change. In fact, like for
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: my generation, people ask questions. Young people always ask questions
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: about what industries they should get into, you know, for
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: a job for you know, especially with AI taking over.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: And I swear to god, Ben Trump did not really
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: understand what AI was because he told him. He's like, yes,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: AI is great to get into if you love computing,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: oh boy, And I'm like, no, Donald, he wasn't saying
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: should I get into AI? He was saying, AI is
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: taking jobs?
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well you know, what are you gonna do?
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: But by the time, yeah, but it reminded me of
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: my grandpa, though he didn't understand one damn thing about
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: computers China.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Well. The other thing too, is people take the president
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: literally like he. I believe he endorsed Jake Paul for
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: political office, right, didn't. I saw that headline.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: He told him like, yeah, if you want to help
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: young people in your generation, it would be cool for
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: you to get into.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Well there was a headline saying, hey, you know you
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: should get into it. You know, I have fully endorse
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: you or whatever. And I was like, yeah, that sounds like,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: you know, Don Trump's of the Don King generation. You know,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the guys that would just get on there and do
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: radio interviews and you're the greatest host of all time.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: This is the greatest radio just like total bull crap.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: You know, it's like a total bull crap artist.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: So anyway, I didn't mean like some of your callers
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: who kiss your rump.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: No, they never kiss me. You're talking about kissed my ass?
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Please, No, there's a handful where they're like, man, I
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: would die without your Overnight show.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Well you know, listen.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but yet there are You're right, there are some
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: where they just love to torture you. Ben sucks.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, they enjoy that very much. Next up Scott
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: from Florida now working overnight. Look at that Scott working
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: the overnight. He told us he was gonna do that
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: on the Mailbag and previous edition, Ben and Danny. When
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I saw Geno Smith going back to the Jets this week,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I knew, barring an atomic bomb, it would be the
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: our number one monologue tragedy. Aside, what's been the best
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: hour one monologue? Juicy teed up total gift story you
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: can recall off the top of your head. That's from
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Scott in Florida and Scott. There have been so many
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: over the years. Some of my favorite the night the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: cheating astros were exposed, which was I believe early twenty nineteen.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I think it was Danny, I think it was. I
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: want to say it was like January of twenty nineteen.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: That was good all time. If you go back, the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: flight Gate was great. That was a lot of fun.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: But for a single night, I don't know how you
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: can beat the malice at the Palace. I don't know
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: how one could beat the malice at the Palace. The
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: night that rn our Test and the Indiana Pacers got
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: into it with the Detroit fans, that was an amazing
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: just a random Friday night into Saturday. It was an
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: ESPN game. I was on doing weekend overnights at the time.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: That was great. So some of them the Tiger Woods.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: When that thing broke, it was like Thanksgiving weekend, I believe,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: right around Thanksgiving when that story came out and his
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: wife and that whole thing a lot. It's the ingredients
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: are there. You're ready. The ingredients are there, Danny. You
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: get scandal, you get surprised. That's always great, like unexpected.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: My favorite is when the Lakers acquired Lebron James and
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: you said famously that the Clippers would win a title
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: before the Lakers even sniffed the playoffs with Lebron.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Well, the Lakers never won a championship with Lebron the Clippers, but.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Your Clippers sure did. And yes, the Lakers did win
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: a trophy with Lebron, not a real one.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: They got a fake que. Ok here we go.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: If the Clippers had one it that year, you'd still
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: be wearing that T shirt right now.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: GIFs and butts were candy and nuts. But you're like, well,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the Lakers went to a gift shop in Orlando and
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: got a little Mickey mount Oh, here we.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Go, we got a little clip play a little tiny
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: violin for you and Clippers Nation?
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: What is still wrong with the Clippers? Just a fact? Path,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: just a fact.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Are more like Clippers pod?
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm thinking about doing a monologue tonight, by the way,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: because everyone universally was dog piling on the Clippers. I
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: can't believe you got rid of Chris Paul. He's so good.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, Paul, do you realize the Clippers are
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: a couple games over? I think there are a couple
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: of games over five hundred. Now they were when they.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Got there, what were they six and twenty one?
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: No, I think they got it rid him a little
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: bit before. I think they were five and sixteen or
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: something like that with him. So but they gotcha Okay, yeah, yeah,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: but they did get off to the five. I think
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: you're right. They lost like five more games after that. Yeah.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: I think their record at one point was six and
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: twenty one.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Something like that. But with Chris Paul playing, they were
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: like five and sixteen or something like that. And since
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: he left there like fourteen games or something like that,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: over five hundred, so maybe he was part of the
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: problem for whatever reason. I don't know what happened.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: They they, Oh, but you sure loved him back in
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: the Love City days. And when the listener was just
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: asking that question about your most famous monologues, it got
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: me thinking to the low days when you were in
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: love with Blake Griffin and CP three.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: They were fun to watch. They were good ballplayers with
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the Clippers. They served their time and they moved on
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: somewhere else. That's fine, that happens. I enjoyed watching Lop
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: City Clippers were great. They should have won a championship.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: They didn't.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: They like you said about Uncle's nuts.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, calm down, let's see who's next
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: on this one. Kwang from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, says
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Big Ben and Danny G Daddy G Radio. Amy Lawrence
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: was in the air everywhere on my radio before switching
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: over to the Ben Maler Show. Well, thank you. I
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: believe Amy quit overnight radio at this point. On what
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: she's doing. He says on those nights when there are
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: no Coop Scoop on entertainment or Queen of Hearts with Lorena,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: may you please bring back the spelling Bee. It would
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: be hilarious to listen to callers trying to spell basic
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: athletic names. That's from quain Quinn. You understand we have
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: a segment with the Queen of Hearts. Well you have
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: to use the hashtag Queen Arts. Danny. You know how
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: many people don't know how to spell Queen of Hearts,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: which I would think those are not hard words. Those
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: are not difficult words to spell, and they have issues.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: So can you imagine if I like the names, you know,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the heart, I guess the hardest over the hardest name
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: to spell be right now in sports would be Janni
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Si dent to Kombo? Would that be the yeah?
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: And also the new one where we just learned everybody
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: had been saying his name wrong all these years about
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Travis h chan h.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Isn't that that? I saw? That? Isn't that the name
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: of the dolphin? Yes? What is up with that?
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: I thought the same exact thing when I saw that headline.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: I'm like, well, why would he want us to change
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: to saying it the way the dolphins last name is
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: really spelled.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: My favorite name change, though, was when the Dolph remember
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: the guy from Ucla became Kareem abdul Jabbar, much to
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: the dismay of Kareem abdul Jabbar. You remember the running
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: back you play you play with the Dolphins too, and
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Koree the original Kareem who also had a different name,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Luele Cinder. He lost his lunch, right, it was, Oh
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: my god, it was there was I believe there was
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: a lawsuit anyway, Quanne, thank you for listening. I I
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not bringing back the spelling Bee. Maybe
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I'll how about this one time if I'm really just
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: kind of feeling uh, you know, little frisky, I'll bring
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: it back, but not on a regular basis because it's
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: a disaster. Although it could be such a terrible disaster
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: that it actually turns out to be good. That does
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: happen on a rack.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: It could be good during the Olympics too.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Olympics. Well the World Cup also.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Oh that's a great point. Yeah, World Cup would be
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: great for that.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: To uh tag o volleyah George from Florida, right, Sin
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: says scientists now say, Ben, that bad space weather could
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: be why we haven't heard from Ali. So what do
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: you think about that? Well, George, you sent me a
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: link here. The word could is a weasel word. Word
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: could is a weasel word. And yeah, I'm not I
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what's going on. I think
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: there's stuff on this planet that's coming out of the oceans.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I've said that that's my deep state tinfoil hat thing,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: that there are all kinds of other creatures here that
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: we don't know about that have advanced technology and they're
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: living here, whether they came from somewhere else, so they've
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: always lived here, who knows. I can go through all
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: the ancient stuff from that that you're left in cave
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: drawings where they showed flying objects and stuff and said,
• 15:42

  Speaker 3: on his line.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Is what is he doing with the fax machine?
• 17:11

• 17:18
  Speaker 1: geek moments Danny at doing the Overnight show. And occasionally

• 17:43
  Speaker 1: car around he does. I don't know how he does it.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: He has nothing in his car. It's not that I
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: have spied on him. It sounds by you know when
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: you park and you walk by somebody and you see
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: what's in the you know, just kind of look glancing
• 17:55

• 18:19
  Speaker 1: do we have, Brent from so Cal? This must be
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know why you would send this to me,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: he says, Ben and Danny. Are you guys big fans
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. They Hulu canceled the reboot
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: of the show, and he wants to know why. We
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: think whou pulled the Why would you email? What is
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: this about? Brent? You know how must I've seen a
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I don't. I think. I think
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I saw one episode one time a million years ago.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: I can honestly say I've never seen one episode of
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: that show.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: I think I was on a date and then happened
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: to pop up. That's why. But no, I I'm gonna
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: go out and limb and Brent. It's always about the money, right.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Either they couldn't make enough money or they wanted too
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: much money, And I don't know what else it would
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: have been. I have never I've seen like maybe half
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: of one episode of the show a million years ago,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: So I feel like you should have sent that to
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: somebody else. Betchy out by you. Ferg Dog writes in
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: in Fullerton that winter Wonderlander says meow Ben and Danny G.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: I didn't know you were allergic to cats. Ben, no
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: wonder why you never liked me? Is it too late
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: to add a category for best board op of the
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: year to the Bennys? If not, I would like to
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: nominate Mark Ramsey, the Pride of Chicago, Roberto the bus driver,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: and Danny G Radio. No they're not. Danny's on a
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: board op, and neithers Roberto. By the way, he's a
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: bus driver, he said, you said, Yah.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Plus, I'm already getting a Lifetime Achievement award.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: That's right, You've time a chieved award. You said you
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: had a story about Tim McCarver, who I was sad
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: in here die last week. Let's see let's hear it, Ben, Yeah,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: that was tremendous by Tom Brady. Really journalism there by
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Tom on the untimely passing of Tim McCarver three years
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: after he passed away. So I have a couple of
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: McCarver stories. We early days of Fox Sports Radio, macarver
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: was the baseball the lead baseball anas, and we had
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: him on every once in a while. And mccarver's one
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: of the all time greatest radio guests, right up there
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: with Kevin Kennedy, Danny. Where you would ask macarver one question,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: he would then ask himself three or four follow up
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: questions while answering your question, So you'd ask him one.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: It's like set it and forget it. It's like the
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: rom Pole Peel thing as a talk show host, when
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: you ask somebody a question and then they answer the question,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: then they ask three follow up questions. It's amazing. It's amazing.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: The other macarver story, this is very embarrassing, and I
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: learned the important life lesson. At this time, I was
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: doing stuff with the Dodgers. We were in New York
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: at the Old Shay Stadium. It was pregame, it was
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: in August. The Dodgers used to always go to play
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: the Mets in August in New York. And it was
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: right around when the big Tennis tournament was going on,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: which happens to be right next to where the Mets play,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: and so anyway, it was really hot, nasty, and so
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: all of us were bunkerd down in the dining room
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: at Shay Stadium the media dining room, and they had
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: the pregame thing popped up. This is back on wwor
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: back in the day. So the Mets opened, the broadcast
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: popped up. I'm in the media dining room with a
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: couple of other people and on the open they had
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: the play by play guy and there was Tom Sever right.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Tom sever was there. He was in the book The
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Well Legend on the Mound. As a broadcaster, not so much.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: And I didn't carverde the Mets games on television before that.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize he had been replaced. So I said
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Danny something to the effect, where the hell's McCarver. This
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Seaver's terrible. Well, unfortunately Tom Seaver had actually that was
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: recorded and he was a few feet away from Uh. Yeah,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: it was very awkward. It was that was not That
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: was not one of my better moments. Uh. I was
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: trying to praise McCarver, and by praising mcarver, I ended
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: up bearing myself as it as. I think the Sever's
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: gone too, I think all those guys are gone.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately, I bet at his memorial, did you get up
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: and say some words and tell that story?
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, By the way, I'd like to apologize and
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: know Tom's not with us anymore. But Carl Carl from
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: New Jersey rights in or from He says, Jersey not new.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: He is not really new anymore. That's bad branding. When
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: they new York and New Jersey at the time it
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: was new, they should have planned all right, in twenty
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: five thirty years were going to change it to just
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Jersey or York And anyway, Carl says, Ben, you've been
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: at Fox Sports Radio for you say twenty five years,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: actually over twenty five years now, which era was your favorite?
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: And then he sent me this is great Danny. Carl
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: sends me two stories. One headline. Joe Beningo says, WF
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: the fan, WFN will never be what it once was
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: and it's heyday and Angela and Angela.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Saw yeah, I saw this because of podcasts and tube streaming.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Then he sent me a story from Angelo Cataldi,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: who was a big star in Philadelphia radio and they
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: both he and Howard Eskin ripped WIP in Philadelphia for
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: not having the edge that it once did. And so
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Carl wants to know which era is my favorite? Yeah,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: I mean it's obviously the business is a lot different
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Now everything's being cannibalized for YouTube clips and social media clips,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: and it does disappoint me because I have a lot
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of people just do bits
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: to get on social media and stuff like that, and
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I'm like, ultimately, there's always should be more people listening
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: to the full the full show. But I understand times
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: changed and all that, and the edge is definitely not there.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: I I've always kind of liked it. I got into
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: the business, Carl, I like the edge. If you don't
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: get the job done, you get criticized, and that's part
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: of it. And you know, a lot of the the
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: other like the newer guys, I don't think they're into it.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: They're not wired that way. They like kind of do like,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: you know, they do their own thing, but it's not
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: it's not the same. So I from that perspective, I
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: think the edge is gone. It was always that was
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: always the gold standard places like Boston, Philadelphia and New York.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: The way they approach sports radio. It's still like that
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: in Boston. I don't think it's like that. IOUSLY haven't listened,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: so I can't speak as a listener to WFN or
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: WIP in Philadelphia. I just know that those guys are complaining,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: but some of that's also just old guys complaining, like
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: that just what we do we complain about it was
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: always better twenty years ago, right, So there's there's that,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: But I do think the edge is gone. I think
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: it's more like pe're just softer on athletes. I mean,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: I know from my perspective, like my criticism, which I
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: think I'm pretty light compared to the old guys that
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: were before me. And yet you would think, like the
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: things I say, the reaction, I get that I am
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: like the biggest asshole in the world. I'm like the
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: word I mean, I'm just over the top, and I'm
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: I feel like I'm pretty fair and these guys get
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: so get the feedback. I get it wild. So anyway,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: the point is, Carl and Danie, I know you think
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: about this, but I think it's just that's times change,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: and you know, people, there's different generations that do this.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Everyone's got their own act, and so that's kind of
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: the way. The way that is, I personally just is
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: a preference. My preference. I like the more critical sports
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: talk radio. I think that's really great, and I mix
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: it up though I'll do some ridiculous bits with blind
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Scott or hollering James or something. Then you just kind
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: of have variety.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: It's evolved or into opinion based debating between hosts rather
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: than a host getting on the air and just ripping
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: the shit out of an athlete. You know, So it
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: depends what style of sports talk radio you prefer.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Well, you can do that in a two man show,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: but I'm one man, So I mean I debate myself,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: I guess and have a different personality, but I'm pretty
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: much I got one one mic and me and for
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: four hours a night.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Dave, Hey, that's why you rip the shit out of
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: some athletes.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: There you go, ex pat Dave from Tokyo Rights and
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: he says, you're my two favorite story here from Japan.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Which one do you guys like better? And then he
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: said there was a sweet potato truck that was burning
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: up driving to a fire station, and he says this
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: went viral and then the and the burger king in
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Japan has unleashed a yetti burger that has seventeen hundred calories,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: four patties, four slices of cheese, bacon, giant bread. Obviously, uh,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: and he well, I I'm gonna go with the I'm
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: gonna go with the sweet potato truck on fire. I
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: think that's great because when that's smart trucks on fire,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: drive to the fire station, you know, giant burger, you
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: can get that. I feel like that happens every couple
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: of years somebody releases a ridiculous heart attack burger.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Lets you know the health benefits to breathing in that fire,
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: because I was reading about how Jill's cancer it cells
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: if you eat alners, potato fries, sweet sweet potatoes, anti cancer. Okay,
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: health benefits.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: So yeah, did you see the video on this, by
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: the way, it's not just a little fire like it's it's.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Did you see, by the way, a few days back
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: a cement truck spilled all over the ten Freeway in La.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Oh now they clean that up.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: Cars were driving through the sludge and it was drying
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: on everyone's tires. Oh no, yeah, that's uh, that's a
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: big time goof goofed.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: I've got to oh yeah, we see those every once
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: in a while. We'll see the trash trucks if somebody
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: because people throw stuff away they're not supposed to throw away,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: and then they tell the people are driving the trash truck.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Just empty the trash truck, right, because it's gonna and
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: so there's like there'd be trash everywhere, but they the
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: cement truck. You're not supposed to empty.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it was user error or a
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: problem with the truck, but yeah, it just started leaking
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: all over the ten Freeway.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: You imagine the insurance on that. Yeah, so yeah, what's

• 31:49
  Speaker 1: feet according to Listening, four hundred and forty six square feet.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: It's described as a studio studio style cottage. Wow, well
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: that's fine, but you shouldn't have to spend three hundred
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: twenty nine thousand dollars on that. Like, what are you doing? Uh? Oh,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: it says.
• 32:10

• 33:43
  Speaker 1: couple more here on the mail bag. What do we got?
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. James from Reno
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: rites and he wanted to know what we thought about
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: the the smurf of England. Uh, yeah, I saw I
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: saw this one. This like, how does that happen? Did
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: you see this? The guy that was.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: Trying Tyler Murray bought property in London.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Pretty much as well. But uh yeah, so this guy
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: turned blue and they he was rushed to the hospital.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Did you you didn't see this one? So Joe, I
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: didn't say this. Yeah, so this guy was rushed to
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: the hospital. His skin suddenly turned blue. He looked like
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: a smur for I guess some more updated reference would
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: be an avatar. And so he gets rushed to the hospital.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Forty two year old guy from from England, and they
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: feared that his terrible condition because he had bright blue skin.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: And then it turned out this is so great. It
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: turned out that he the man slept, he had some
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: new sheets and he slept without washing them and the
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: blue dye got all over his body.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: So it looked like google did I'm looking at it
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't you think if you but if you're a first responder,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: wouldn't you say, well, maybe maybe this is it could
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: be just die from the sheet.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: This reminds me of Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: You're turning violet violet.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Well, remember there was a guy that did have a
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: condition where his skin was blue. Oh it was something
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: he was eating right that turned his skin blue. Remember
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: he died a couple of years ago. Do you remember
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: the story there was a guy legitimately had blue skin
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: because of something that he ate. You don't remember, I
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: don't remember that. Yeah, yeah, there was a there was
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: a guy just google it or ai it, the guy
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: with blue skin. There was something that he ate that
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: turned his skin blue, and he lived a full life.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: I believe. I think he died somewhat. You know, like
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: I said, last couple of years. At all one day.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: That would have to be the worst color to turn
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: because everybody thinks you're, you know, having problems breathing.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: It's not ideal. It's like the real Blue Man group.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: This guy was legitimately blue blue skin. Let me see, man,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: let's see. I believe he died, but I'm not sure.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Let me see here. Yeah, okay, Paul Carrison, Yeah yeah, yeh,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: he died. Man see here. Oh, oh my god, Danny,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: he I thought it was a couple of years. He
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: died thirteen years ago. Holy crap. Oh lord ah pop
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Paul Carrison, known as the Blue Man or Papa Smurf.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Oh can you believe this? I can't believe it's been
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: that long. He didn't live that long. He lived at
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: age sixty two. His death was caused by a heart attack.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah. And he had been using
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: colloidal silver for years to treat various ailments and that
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: is what led to his skin turning blue.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: And wow, this is like how Doc Mike has turned yellow.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's a pineapple smoothie with a special sauce he
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: causes on top. Yikes. Oh, I can't believe it's been
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: that long since I got Oh wow, it seems like
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: it was just like a couple of years ago. That's nuts, dude,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: that is next level. JT. The Wee Man rights and
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: says dear Ben and Danny g on the mail bag
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: from outside Knoxville, Tennessee. And uh, let's see here, Uh,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Serveville from Serville See. JT's upset because I always say
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: near Knoxville, Tennessee. He wants me to give his town
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: the proper credit. So I'm gonna try to say it Serveville.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Did I get that right? J T? The wee man,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: I think it. Hopefully it did. Serville, Tennessee s E
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: V I E R V I L L E Tennessee,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: says Ben and Danny G. Since I am back on
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: the Keto train again to shed a few pounds, it
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: makes snacking a trick of your road to navigate, especially
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: when I am driving the truck for work. I find
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: myself going to almonds or peanuts quite frequently. He says,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: what are your favorite healthy snacks? Knowing that bends a
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: faster I'm not sure if you snack at all. One
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: positive of a keto is if I use my air
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: fryer and do not bread the wings. I can eat
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: wings all the time, and they are a great snack.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Back at the Wingman Mountain Compound, there you go, it says,
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: thanks for the nomination for the bends, but you earned
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: a JT. It feels good to be recognized as ap
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: one we love the JT. The man, I'm not a
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: big snacker. My whole thing is I have a window
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: usually each day about an hour a little less than that.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: I try to eat all my food for the day
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: in one hour, so it's like a race against time.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: So I try to do that. That's my thing. On
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: the weekends, I do occasionally have a bigger window to
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: eat in, so I might have some chocolate, almonds or peanuts,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: things like that. What about you, Danny, big snack guy.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: We talked about this maybe three weekends ago, and I
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: brought up pistachios, which are great in the shell, though
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: I don't like when they do all the work for you.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: It takes the fun out of popping them out of
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: the shell. But the one thing I didn't mention, And
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: after the show I was thinking, Man, you know what,
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: maybe I didn't mention that because they're so expensive every time.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: That's the thing with snacking, right, Ben. You go in
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: for your favorite snack, and if you say you like
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: beef jerky, what is it fifteen dollars a bag?
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: Now, Oh well it's ridiculous, so ridiculous.
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: And the one thing I like, but they're always like
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: seven ninety nine unless they're on sale. Those dots home
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: style pretzels.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah those are good. Yeah, I like those.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: Oh dude, the honey mustard so good.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: I'd also like the peanut butter filled pretzel, which aren't dots,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: just like the regular or whatever brand.
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: But there's some good almond butter filled ones at Trader
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: Joe's and some good peanut butter filled ones at Costco.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Well that's cool. Yeah. I liked m macadamia nuts, but
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: those are not great for you, and they're very expensive.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: The upcharge on Macadamian nuts is yeah.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: See, that's what I'm saying. Like, I think I would
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: snack more if I didn't have to watch my grocery budget,
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: which is astronomical right now in twenty twenty six, Denny.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: If this this price of oil thing keeps going the
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: way it's going, we're all gonna be fasting.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: We're all gonna be skipping. You're not kidding, You are
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: not kidding. I spent sixty dollars to fill up my
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: tank halfway the other day.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's insane. The same thing. I've been getting gas.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: I've been trying to tell the wife. I'm like, listen,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: you got it. You can't go all the way to empty,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: because every day that you wait to get gas, it's
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: going up. Like you know what I'm saying. You have
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: to consistently try to keep a good amount of gas
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: to avoid the full even though you're I know the math,
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: they're still paying for it. But to me, at least
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: in my head, Danny, if you have it at least
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: at half a tank, you're not filling all the way up.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: But it is. You know, you know where I live, Danny,
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: I'm way out. Oh yeah, I mean I got a Yeah,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: it's to me. I mentioned in the podcast two and
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: a half it was like three three hours or whatever.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Basically I could have phoonn to Seattle. I love my
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: suit case. That's why I just went back and did
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: the show from the remote studio. We'll do two more
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: and get out on this. We got two more, Reggie
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: from Detroit writes in a regular In the email back,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: he says, Hey, Ben and Danny, G do you how
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: often do you guys check your phone? Do you check
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: your phone more or less than teenagers? And then he
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: sent me the story which I saw earlier this week, Danny,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: the story that claimed that teenagers check their phones sixty
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: four times a day on average during school. Our sixty
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: they did a study sixty four times a day. They're
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: checking their phone. I have no idea how much I'm
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: checking my phone, Reggie, it's a lot. However, we have
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: the ultimate trump card, Danny. It's for our job.
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: We I was gonna say, I am checking my phone
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: that much, but it's eighty percent because of work, not
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: because of personal life exactly.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not on the social very rarely do I pop
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: up on there, So yeah, it's that's crazy, man, sixty.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: I would have done the same thing if I had
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: access to a phone in elementary school or junior high school.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: You kidding me? Come on, man, you please, we'd all
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: be doing that. Ryan from Shrewsbury, Mass Rights and he says, hey, boys,
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: since we are heading into the week of March madness,
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: who you guys picks for winning the NCAA tournament? And
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: do you think we will ever see a perfect bracket
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: in our lifetime? There you'll keep up the great work.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah. That's from Ryan in Shrewsbury.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: So Ryan, we mentioned here earlier. This is the point
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: where we all become experts. And we're gonna be able
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: to dazzle you with our Selectionsunday picks and what's going
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: to happen. And I have not I've not spent too
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: much time. I've been watching more college basketball. But normally
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: what I'll do is I'll just be like, oh, let's
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: see here. The players that I want to watch are
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: all guys that are going to be drafted in the lottery.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: So like Cameron Boozer at Duke right Peterson from Kansas, like,
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: those are the so I'll lean into those teams. And
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: that almost never works to any so because I remember
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: when Kevin Durant was at Texas that one year, I
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: was like, all right, well, let's go with the Longhorns,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: and I think they lost in the first round of
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: the tournament, if I remember they got they didn't make
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: it out of the first weekend.
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: And this is all guessing except for, like you said,
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: the teams that are ranked one through ten, and ultimately
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: everybody puts most of those for their final four. But
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: otherwise it is you know the old cliche that lady
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: at the office that knows nothing about college basketball and
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: she always wins the pool. And that's exactly why I'm
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: going to have Brenda make all the picks for.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: Me this year. Yeah, I should be fine. I like
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: some of the names. I'm a big point guard guy.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: That's old, old school though. Dan, It's always like you
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: got to get the team with a good point guard
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: like this guy, Kingston Flemings, I believe, the guard from Houston.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: That's a great basketball name. Not a great name, Kingston Flemings,
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: that's a solid name. Or it could be a restaurant,
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: you know, let's come to Kingston Flemings and have a
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: nice stake. Hey, we'll see what we have tonight on that.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: Hopefully some of these guys. I hope Boozer and Peterson,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: Flemings and all these guys can play because teams like
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: Sacramento and Washington and Brooklyn and Utah and tanking all
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: year to get them, So I hope they know how
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: to play. We'll get out on that, Danny, Thank you
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: appreciate it. We'll get another big week. I'll be on tonight.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: The Benny Awards are tonight, of course, and then normal
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: week after that. Yeah, we have that and then take
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: a deep breath.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: All the paparazzi and all the reporters are around you
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: just just you know, take a moment to take a
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: breath and just enjoy the moment.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm most excited, Danny about the parties after and.
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: That in the small especially the drugs at those parties.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: A bunch of hookers and cocaine. Well, Jed who fleds
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: having his own party. That's gonna be an amazing party.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's gonna be better. Ed who Fled
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Hollering James is sponsored by Sleep Number I think I
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: think they're a sponsor. And then Lucky, He's got a
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: bunch of onlyfan models and porn stars. It'll be at
