  Speaker 4: historic start, by the way.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and might I add I did not jinx to
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: them when I went to the Reds game, so I
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: want to point that out. They're still playing very well,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: and they look I could playoff team. They're playing great. Obviously,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: they won a bunch of games to start the year.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: So yeah, they got the Pirates now, so.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's a lot of good Well there's a
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: lot of bad teams though in that in that division, right,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: so he beat up on the bad teams. You can
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: fatten up your win total. And anyway, so Justin, you
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: were at the meet and greet. I assume you had
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: a decent time. It wasn't the worst thing in the world,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: but you had a good time. You caught up with
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: a couple of guys there you hadn't seen before. So
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: what was it like for you?
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: It was good.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: I didn't know what to make of it when I
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: first went. I'm always negative, but I actually had a
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: really good talent in the meat Ohioaio and Robbie was
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: there and Rob Sam and Josh and.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: See Josh all the time. Are you all the other ones?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Okay you and Josh? I know you. I've seen photos
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: of you guys. Are you actually like real life friends?
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Like legit?
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah? We get weed together.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Well that's perfect. That's a real friend. Now is we
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: What are the weed laws? And I know it's different
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: in each state. Is it legal in Ohio and Kentucky
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: or is it just legal in one or is it
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: good everywhere?
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: It's legal in Ohio now I think Kentucky you have
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: to get a prescription, but it'll be legal.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, I got you and I did see they
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: have a big casinos, so they're really Ohio's really leaning
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: into all the debauchery. Because you got the week legal,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: you got the gambling right, you're ready to go.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: It's really weird about California though, no legal gambling, but
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: Kentucky you can.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Get gamble, well no gambling on sports. In California you can.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: They have Indian casinos. It's it's really a great story.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I've mentioned it a few times. With the the big
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: gambling companies DraftKings and FanDuel were ready to They had
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: legislation before the I think it was before the pandemic,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and they were going to have sports gambling legal. And
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the as I was told, the casinos, the Native American
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I guess they're called the Indian casinos, they spent a
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: four They were able to block the legislation. They made
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: it seem like this was going to be terrible for
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: poor people and all this stuff. They bought all these
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: commercials and they actually blocked it. And the theory was,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I was told by somebody that works in the gambling world.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: The theory was they were in a couple of years
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: going to put it back on the ballot and they
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: were going to be the ones that controlled the market,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: so they would get the revenue. Ralet the major gambling
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: companies wouldn't get the money. However, then that little pandemic
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: thing happened. It hasn't happened, and here we are, it's
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: been like six years or something like that, and Bupkus
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: got to go to Vegas to gamble justin you know
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: how pathetic that is.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Disaster.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, of course you know that. All right, let's
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: get to the questions. Reggie from Detroit, writes in he says, Ben,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: what is going on with YouTubers acting badly? And then
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: he sent me a link to a couple of stories.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Here a YouTuber facing a twenty six thousand dollars fine
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: for wearing a costume as a mascot and sneaking into
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the something called the Euro twenty twenty four. I assume
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: that's that's a soccer thing. And then I did see
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: this one. Reggie sent a story to the guy who
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: was at the NFL draft? Did you see this? Justin?
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: This guy was at the NFL Draft in Pittsburgh and
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: he snuck on stage and he announced a draft pick
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: at the draft that was this YouTuber name. What's the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: guy's name? Fred Bayer? I have no idea you know
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: who that is.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: I don't know who this is.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Uh No, I don't. I don't think so. I haven't
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: heard from Fred. And while I got checking with Fred,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: but uh it says, yeah, so this guy crashed the
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: stage in Pittsburgh and he has now been banned from
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: all NFL events. That'll be easy to enforce, I'm sure,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: although they do use facial recognition, very James Dolan like,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: So this guy walked onto stage tempted to announce the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Steelers pick. And the amazing thing I was reading about
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Reggie sent the story. So the amazing thing is this
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: guy he managed to get inside using a fake media credential.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: He got all the way on the state onto the stage,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: and he didn't even have a pass to properly be there.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: And he made it all the way out to the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: podium and with the sixty seventh pick in the NFL draft,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the Steelers, and then he got cut off because security
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: finally figured out, what's what's going on?
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: The purity is waxing everywhere, you know, It's that seems
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: to be a trend.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the NFL has ridiculous security, you have to.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: It's like the Pentagon Justin. I go to these NFL
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: games and they they have the tracking of your face,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. It's just like it's like top level.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: And yet this guy, some punk YouTube guy, was able
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: to get in. That's the thing. Retch like, these guys
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: will do anything right to get hits on YouTube, to
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: get make money.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so how.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Much YouTube do you watch?
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Justin?
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: You I think you only listened to Fox Sports Radio.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I do not think you actually watch YouTube. You've listened
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: to Fox Sports Radio.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: I'm actually watching Look, I'll pull it up right now,
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: American Coup, The American Coup from Wilmington eighteen ninety eight
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: from PBS.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well PBS, is you know some you're
• 7:19

• 7:21
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: Just saying well, I'm watching the documentaries.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do love my documentaries. Did you see the
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: documentary on country music on PBS a couple of years ago?
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: No, I haven't seen that one.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really good. It's pretty cool.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: It goes into like Lewis and Clark on the PBS station.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: It's really good. It's like two episodes.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: That's cool. Have you I think every documentary is made
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: by Ken Burns. Is that still the case? Does he
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: make like all the documentaries are like ninety percent of
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the documentaries for PBS. H All right, uh yeah, but
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: you know, Reggie, listen, these guys will do anything to
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: get downloads in. It's impressive. I had a friend of
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: mine that did not have field access to the Super
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Bowl and was able to get on the field and
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: watch the Super Bowl multiple times because he just walked
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: in like he ran the place and nobody stopped him,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: and he just stood on the sidelines during two different
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Super Bowls. And this wasn't that long ago. It's probably
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: you know, it's within the last Well, like I said,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: it has been a long time, but it was not
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: that long ago in my in my mind, it wasn't
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: that long ago. Mark from South Carolina rights in on
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the mailbag with special appearance by Justin in Cincinnati, the Man,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the Myth, the Legend, one of the great game shows

• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Trivia still or you moved on from Sports Trivia?
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Justin? Absolutely okay, still love it.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: We need an epic rematch between you and our buddy
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: from well formally from Brooklyn, Uncle Moe. The epic matchup.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: So did he go to the Days show?
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: You know, he moved to Jersey because of the lunatic
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: mayor of New York. He actually literally moved out of
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Brooklyn because of the mayor that came in there. And yeah,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: he does work during the day. Every once in a while,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: one of his kids will be up late, or he'll
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: get a night to himself and he'll call in. He
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: calls in maybe once a month or something like that. So, Mark,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: what's that?
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: I always liked him.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, he's good, he's he's he's great, real nice.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I was actually, I'm gonna be in New York after
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the Boston thing, and I'm taking a couple of days
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: to hang out in New York. And isay, Uncle Mohen
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: he's too busy, he can't he dodn't have time. So
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I was gonna comby Hello, Mark from South Carolina. Right, So,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: and he says there are millions of dollars ben being
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: bet on a measles outbreak in the United States before
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: the end of the year. Are you concerned? Says almost
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: nine million dollars have been bet on Calsh and Paul
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Market that there's going to be a big outbreak of measles.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: What constitutes an outbreak? So, just like thirty seven kids
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: in North Dakota.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what. That's a
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: good question. What is an outbreak? How many? Is there
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: a number on that? That's a very vague term. I
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: wonder what. I'm not on Calshi? Are you on Calshi?
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not on No, I'm not I don't I don't
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: play around. I'll look at it every once in a while.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Somebody will send me a link. That's a great question, though,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: what is it what qualifies to pay off the bet?
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Because you know the media is if a couple of
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: people get measles, they'll freak out. So, oh my god,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: there's a you know, measles outbreak and all this stuff,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: and uh, does it have to be the US Center
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: for Disease and Control and all that.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: Or bringing Fauci. Let him determine it.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: That's your that's your boy. It's your boy.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: Found when he threw that baseball, like whatever, you just knew.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: I wish we could go back in time.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: And just how about when he was at the Nationals
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: game sitting there and he pulled his mask down to
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: eat and all that stuff, and I was like, oh
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: my god. Yeah, Will from Florida, it's kind of a
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: big state. Will says that scientists, Ben I said. He says, Ben,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I know you're in a science scientists have created a
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: device that lets people feel the fluffiness and gentle breathing
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: of a house cat. And then he wants to know
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: where do you think this is going? And it is
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: from Will? Will? I think you know where it's going.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: You just wanted to ask a question, so you sent
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: this in. It's kind of obvious, right, Justin's where's the
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: place you make the most money if you're doing virtual reality?
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Where could you cash in in a virtual reality world
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: where you would make more money than anything else? What
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: do you think that would be? Justinn?
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: Know? Is there like a sarcasm wing porn?
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Come on, John, right, come on now they start going
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: down that road. Oh my god, forget all this other stuff.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: But and I'm skeptical that it actually feels like you
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: know you and I'm allergic to cats, but I've been
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: around cats and the fluffiness of a cat, like a
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: big rag doll cat with a fluffy thing. It's not
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: gonna be the same.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: Right, I have a cat?
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Oh you do? Okay?
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: What's my name of Chopo?
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: You named it Choppo? That's good, that's cool. That's what
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: kind of cat is it?
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: He's an orange cat?
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Is it a rag doll cat or a Persian cat?
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Or there's like seven different eight different breedes, like.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: A tom cat, regular cat, country cat.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Country cat? All right?
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, very cool? Is it?
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Like some cats are cuddly and other cats want nothing
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: to do with you?
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Is it? Which kind of cat? Oh good with me,
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: but he hates every other person.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Perfect, that's the perfect pet Just yeah, exactly. Pete from Alabama.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: And again, these guys just say the state these are
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: big places, you idiots. Pete says, been a guy at
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Chick fil A was able to steal eighty thousand dollars
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: on mac and cheese and he wants to know how
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: much jail time the guy's going to get. Well, I
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: don't know how much jail time the guys get. I
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: saw the story this guy in Texas justin he I
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: guess he worked at Chick fil A in Texas somewhere.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: He got fired, and then he decided that he was
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: going to sneak back in. He would go back into
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: the store and make orders and then and he would
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: refund them onto his own credit card. And he did
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: this according to the story. This is from Fox four.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I think it's in Dallas. Pete sent me the link
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: and it says that he rang up eight hundred orders
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: of mac and cheese and the refunds total over eighty
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Eighty thousands.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: He should have switched it up, different types of foods.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Gone with like the biscuits or something like that.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: Of the Yeah they'll be so they'll have it all
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: one food.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty marto. Terrible thing to do, but it's wrong.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: You should not do that. Although you're jealous that he
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: did it and you didn't figure it out, eight hundred
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: orders of mac and cheese.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: It probably could smash all eight hundred at once.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: You think if he stopped at four hundred, he would
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: have been fine. He would have never been caught. And
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: that's forty thousand dollars, Like you'd take forty grand, right
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: if the prom is these credit cards. It's impossible to
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: get away with any of this stuff because of the
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: credit cards. You can't get away with anything in the
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: old days. Back in the old days, justin it was
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: all cash, there'd be no paper trail. Guys could get
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: away with stuff like this. You can't get away with
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: anything like I don't even know why you bother. Everything's
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: tracked digitally. Unless it's a cash transaction. You're not gonna
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: be able to get away with this stuff. Eventually, they're
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: going to figure it out, they're going to do an audit,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: and you're cooked.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: So he probably just could style well obviously.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'm not a big I like mac and cheese.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think Chick fil a mac and cheese is
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: all that good.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: I've never had it. I don't really eat there.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I don't either.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Do you eat out at all? I don't really. I

  Speaker 1: And so I was like, oh, maybe I'll do it.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: And I'm only here, you know who knows. And so
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I talked a couple of the other guys that were there,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: and the consensus was that you don't know how it's
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: going to affect your stomach, So if you don't have
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of time to kind of calm your stomach down,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: don't eat it. And I had an early flight. Can
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: you imagine if I ate that justin and then I
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: had a a combustible situation of my stomach on the plane,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: it would have been a nightmare. Would remember that flight
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: from Atlanta to Italy where they had to come back
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: because some woman went to the bathroom and it like
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: flooded the whole thing. Remember that it was a It

  Speaker 1: I didn't hit him when I ran into him, almost
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: ran into him in the hallway. That would have that
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: would have been the end of me. I would not
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: be here right now. I would have been sent away.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: He was small, oh man, so small, justin like he
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: was a tiny man, like it looked. And he was
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: frail kind of at that point because he had been
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: he was always older. That was a long time ago,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: and so he's a frail kind of old guy. And
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I'm a I was much bigger than I am now.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty big guy still, and I was bigger then.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Not quite to the level of Robbie the Mariner fan,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: but I was, you know, I was getting up there.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: And how many are uh.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: He's he's in a special special class. We love We
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: love Robbie. You should have seen Robbie. And we went
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: all over that I took. I dragged Robbie. I don't
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: know if he told you, but we went all over man.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: We went to the Reds game, we went to the
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: ice cream shop, we went up to Bucky's and we
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: we did it all man. We we did the full
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: full day.
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: It's great meet him and Rock Saan went to Frishes
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: and we got like the big boy sand much And
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: I'm not joking. It looked like someone shot him on
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: the chest with a shotgun with all the crap he
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: got on himself. Then the waitress, I ordered it well done.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: I got to f and I rolls from her.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, no, no one should give you eye rolls.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: The proper way to eat a sandwich or piece of
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: meat in general is well done. That's the proper way
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: that tells me that you're a good human being, justin
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: that you like your food well done. I appreciate that.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I did hear some rumors that you are not the
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: greatest driver in the world.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: It may or be Google set me down a one
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: way street, the same one way street twice.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's what I heard. I heard from possibly
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: from Queen Roxanne and Robbie the Mariner fan, that there
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: was a little bit of a drive that seemed like
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: it might be the final drive they ever take with
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: you behind the wheel. So yeah, I understand anyway, Quang
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: says big Man. Coconut water is the clear liquid from
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: young green coconuts, known for being a natural source of
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: electrolytes like potassium, sodium, and magnesium, making it a hydrating
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: drink often used as an alternative to sugary sports drinks.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: The coconut water is also known as the co coconut
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: endosperm found in the cavity of the nut. He says,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: how much endosperm have you consumed in your life? I
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: have had coconut water. I had it, I think twice
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: in my life. I'm good. I didn't really think it
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: was great or terrible. It was just kind of whatever.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing Justin and Cincinnati, who's with us on the
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: mail bag, has not had coconut water. Is that accurate?
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: Justin? No, I have. I have some stomach issues.
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: Nothing you know, horrible right now, but that's one of
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: the things that I would mix coconut water and some
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: oine juice and stuff like that.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: It's nasty, it's too milky.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh okay, Yeah, maybe I didn't have this because
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: it wasn't milky. The I had coconut water. Maybe it
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: was coconut flavored water. Must have been.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: There's a couple of different a few different kinds though.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this sounds like it's thick and milky and I
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: have not had that. Is your stomach better? Have you
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: found a magic potion justin to help your stomach? Calm
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: your stomach down a little bit?
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: Yep, so far, so good. About six months eight months,
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: I think so perfect.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: I have my gallbladder issues. Every once in a while
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: it starts barking and I'm reminded that I don't have
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: my gallbladder, which sucks. And I'm also getting older, which
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: also sucks because that, you know stuff. I don't really
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: feel old, but sometimes I have those days where stuff
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: like starts, uh, you know, kind of popping up a
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: little bit. I'm like, oh, that sucks.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: That didn't Skyline with put you down? Yeah?
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: The ice cream was great though. That greater is ice cream?
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: That was really good. Yes, that's the bomb. You know
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: they actually have Skyline ice cream.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: I saw that. I took a photo. I took a
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: photo that was like the most ridiculous thing, and I'm
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: sure it's great because it's just ice cream. It looks
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: just like a plate of chili, though obvious, nasty. Yeah,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: it's interesting anyway, Quank says, my vote still goes to
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Mary Mack as the replacement for for Daddy g or Monsey. No, no,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: we're good on that. We've got that taken care of. Anyway.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: We love Mary Mack and we love Monsi and all that.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Kevin in the Bay Area, right since, says Ben, are
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: you going to make a trip up here to see chalk? No, Kevin,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to go to the Bay Area to
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: see chalk. This is a chalk is a two thousand
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: pound sea lion at Pier thirty nine in San Francisco.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: It is like, I guess these things are normally one
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: thousand or fifteen hundred pounds. This thing is five hundred
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: pounds fatter than the other sea lions there and chonkers
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: is it's a I guess it's a different breed. That's
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: why it's bigger. It's stellar. According to the story Kevin
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: sent it's a stellar sea lion near threatened species It's
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: native to the North Pacific Ocean. Rim found everywhere from
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: the Pacific northwest of the US to Eastern Asia and Russia. Yeah,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: it's cool it. I like the photos. I'm not going
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: I don't need my car broken into again at pure
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: thirty nine or whatever. No, I'm good good on that that.
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: It's probably better because all the heroin needles in the water.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Dude, you got to go justin on it. If you
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: want to go to a human zoo, go to the
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Tenderloin district in San Francisco. Holy crap, my god, I was.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: I walked around it when we were in San Francisco
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: for the Super Bowl. Like this fentanyl, Like I understand,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: you know, guys do stuff whatever to try to get
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: through life and whatever you do. Like if you see someone,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: if you're walking down the street and you see someone
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: doing the fentanyl and they got the fentanyl, lean, like,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: why would you ever touch that that stuff? It's what
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine. It's that good to justify. Literally, it
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: is a zombie apocalypse and it's in the same thing
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: in La and here, and I'm sure you guys have
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: it in Cincinnati. You don't talk about that justin right.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: I don't bring that up because you know, it seems
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: to be everywhere.
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: We've got a lot of violence here now. But Matt
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: the Warrior Raiders as van our guy. That's the way
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: he would drive Uber there, Uber there and uh man,
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: some of the stories it's just nuts. He was sending
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: pictures and I'm like Jesus, like, it's just oh yeah,
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: it's just wild.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: I told the story on the podcast that I was
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: in last time I was in skid Row in La.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: There was a French dip sandwich place I used to
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: go when I was single living in La used to
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: go there in the heart of the city. I used
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: to go there all the time. It was great, been
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: around forever. Right, it's right on the point of demarcation.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: There's a street and it's changed because since the pandemic,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: skid Row has moved all the way over. Before that
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: was the point of demarcation. On one side of the
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: street was a hustling, bustling city down town. On the
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: other side was Sodom and Gomorra right out of the Bible, right,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: it was raining sol for the whole thing. So I
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: would go to this restaurant. The place was It's announce
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: they were closing. So went down there for one final
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: meal and the GPS took us right through the heart
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: of skid Row and there was a I'll never forget it.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: So there was a black dude that seemed to be
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: really down on his luck. Looked to be in his
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: maybe his forties. He had no shirt on. He had sweatpants,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: but they were really like those rip away pants like
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: back in the old days. Because he had they were
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: all ripped and tattered, and he was having a bad day.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: He also had My favorite part was he had an
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: ankle monitor, you know those electric monitoring things around his ankle.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Who's what? And he was like screaming and it was
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: It was one of the wildest things I've seen recently.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: It was.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: It was pretty crazy. But it's just a just a
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: random day. What is next? Carl from the great state
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: of Ohio again you can say where. It's a big state.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Are you from Cleveland? Are you from Columbus? Are you
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: from Dayton? Dayton's not that far away, just I thought
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I thought when I looked at the map, I thought
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: it was further than it was. It's really not that
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: far from Cincinnati. It was not that long a drive.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: I thought it would be longer.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Just get on seventy five and it's pretty quick.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, once you get outside the city, the speed limit
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: goes up a little bit. And my goal was I
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: did not want to get a speeding ticket, because I
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: got one when I was in Minnesota at that thing,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: and I was like, I do not need to pay
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: an extra two hundred dollars or whatever it is on
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: a stupid speeding ticket. So I only drove like five
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: miles above the speed limit and I made it. Carl
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: says Ben, is this going to be the end of podcasting?
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Amazon is now using AI generated podcast for items that
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: people want to buy, like reviews of items that people
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: want to buy. Is this the end of podcasting? No,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: it's not the end of podcasting. It's not great, and
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: they've really done a good job of generating voices that
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: sound human. The scary thing is, as some people have
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: pointed out right now even today, and I bet you
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: you're aware of this, justin because you're into this kind
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: of stuff. My voice has been recorded so many times
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: over the years. If and we had a listener do this.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: I think it was last year when I was doing
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: this thing with Danny g right now. On the AI platforms,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: a couple of the big ones. You can have a
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Malard monologue made in my voice reading some copy that
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: you put into the thing, like right now, Like they've
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: recorded me for years. They have all the all the
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: bull crap phrases that I use a lot. It's scary,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: is like I could if I eventually we're all gonna
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: die and I could continue doing the show.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: But you don't own your own voice. You can't. How
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: does that work?
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I know there was a lawsuit. Who's
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: the Who's the guy that's got the pipes? He lives
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: in Louisiana, the uh, the older guy, the black guy,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: the actor, you know what I'm talking about. He does
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: all the voiceover stuff. This guy's name, yeah, Morgan Freeman.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: I think Morgan Freeman sued one of I think it
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: was him. I know, one of the big voiceover guys.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: I want to say it was Morgan Freeman sued one
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: of the AI companies about using his intellectual property, which
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: is legit, Like that's that's you can't issuld be that?
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Come on now, it is weird. NBC uses the guy
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: that was the voice of basketball in the nineties and
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: he's been dead for years. His family said okay, and
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: they signed off on it. And so when they do,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: I know, you don't like basketball, but when I watch it,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: they have the guy and I'm like, wow, it's like
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety seven. I'm like, wait a minute, that guy's
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: been dead for fifteen years or whatever. It's like, wow,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: it's pretty crazy. No, no, not just no, it's the
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: voiceover guy. You know, the NBA on NBC is spotted
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: to you, you know, brought to you by whenever that guy.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: So that was, yeah, Marv Albert, that was some good,

• 29:49
  Speaker 1: a bit of a negative side to me, even though
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: that is the case. Just seeing the joy was awesome.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: With with Dick and Dayton, that was a big thing
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: for him.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: And yeah, the two people that brought him down, I
• 30:02

  Speaker 1: look for sure. What do we got here? Blah blah
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: blah blah. Tony from Pennsylvania rights in and says, Ben,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: do these is there? He says, is there a lawsuit
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: for the victims of the Titan sub And he then
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: sends This story made the rounds. I think most people
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: saw the story this week where I guess some people
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: that had relatives on that sub that went to the
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: very bottom of the Atlantic and then exploded. Were they
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: going to look at the Titanic? Is that where they
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: were looking at? I don't remember anyway, Yeah, okay, yeah,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: it seemed like a good idea. And so the family
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: members were upset because some of the remains were removed
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: and given to them in shoe boxes and they were
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: like slush.
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: And when do they think they were going to get
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: bad when something implodes like that?
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Exactly?
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: I'm surprised they have anything.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: I I agree. I was told if your body's in
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: the water for a certain amount of time, it just
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: that's what happens. It fills with water and explodes and
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: there's nothing left. The animals in the ocean eat it
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: not to get too dirty.
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: I wonder if they knew that that was happening. You know,
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: in the last few minutes or hours, you're just sitting
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: there waiting for everything just stop.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: You hope, you hope. One minute they were just looking
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: out the window at like a giant shark, and then
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: the next thing, it's just that's it. You know, game over,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: It's go back.
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: What's a bigger disaster that? Or John Shire in the tournaments?
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Are you ready for Coach k to return and come
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: out of retirement, and I don't know.
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: He can't win these big games. And it's not that
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: he can't win, they've blow big leads.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was in Vegas watching that the choke job.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: It's Connecticut that I thought that game was over at halftime.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: That's it. There's no way and surprise, surprise. Well, at

• 32:29
  Speaker 5: thee's putting up forty one of them to put up fifty,
• 32:31

  Speaker 4: to commit one.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Hear it, area, It's it's also cool. You know how
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: old someone is now depending on what their favorite NFL
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: team is, Like, if you're a Miami Dolphin or a
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: forty nine er fan, it's because you were about ten
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: years old in the nineteen eighties. If you're a Patriots fan,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: you were ten years old in the early two thousands, right,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: And now there's going to be a whole generation of
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Chiefs fans because Mahomes and then kept going to the
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So you got that going on the whole thing.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: What else do we have? Let's see, I'll do a
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: few more on the mailbag. JT the wingman from is
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: it Severville, Tennessee? I keep mispronouncing that, so I'll keep
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: mispronouncing it.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: He says he was there.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, JT was great. He's been to five of
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: these things. He says, you're cool. Yeah, good dude, right
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: and very positive?
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Was it odd to be around someone so positive justin?
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: Was it?
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah? It makes me weird at first, but I get
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: used to it. Yeah.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: He balances you out because you're the end of the end, right,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: because JT's happy as could be, just loving life. And
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: then you've got justin living up to the curmudgeon nickname.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: JT says, it was great to see you again the
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Malo meet and greet there in the greater Cincinnati area.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Meeting Dick from Dayton was also priceless, along with several
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: other of the show's p ones. Now that it is
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: we're into May and summer is clearly on the horizon,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: it makes me think of beaches. I am considering a
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: trip back to Myrtle Beach or perhaps the Gulf Shores
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: this summer for some R and R. What is your
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: favorite beach getaway? It's from JT, the wingman, who says
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: the look on the joy the look of joy on
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Dick's face was priceless. I am looking forward to seeing
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: everybody again in Vegas. Well, thank you, JT.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: I don't really go in the ocean when I go
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: to the beach. What I do is I go down
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: there and I love to just walk. I'll put my
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: feet in the water, on the waves and all that.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: That's pretty cool and just like looking out at the water.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: How often do you ever get out of Cincinnati, Justin
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: and go down to the ocean or do you guys
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: got lakes and stuff, so you don't have to go
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: to the ocean and hang out a lake.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: I've been in the other for a couple of times,
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: but I don't trust it. I think the aliens are
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: under the water.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Hey, that's my theory. That's my We agree on that, right,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: that there's that's like a species deep at the bottom
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: of the oceans.
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: And they can't find that Malaysian plane because the water
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: is so deep in the Southern Indian Ocean, Like we're
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: not even there as humans yet to try to find that.
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: So don't tell me there's not stuff down there. That'd
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: be the smartest place to hide.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Oh one hundred and most of the planet is water,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: So why wouldn't you hang out there and study us.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: We're like we're in the zoo. We're the animals in
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: the zoo, and they're the ones coming out to studying us.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: And they come out at night, and you know, it's crazy.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Did you see that documentary what was the name of
• 36:04

• 37:54
  Speaker 1: big Man and maybe special guess yeah, Justin and Cincinnati.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: I heard you mentioned on the show how much a
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Gus says they made on merch. Then I heard on
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: the fifth hour someone said something similar to that, with
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: the line of line being multiple hours long, got me thinking,
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: have you ever considered selling merch? From the show, he says,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: and you're all over the place all that stuff. Then
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: he bragged about Coop and Lorena. You got to meet
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Coop at one of these things, justin. We're gonna have
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: to come back down in your area and bring Coop
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: so you two can hang out. Is he your favorite
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: liberal or No? Probably not.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: I think the next selection he'll vote independent or republic.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he seems pretty annoyed with what's going on at
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: least in California. And finally after all these years. Yeah,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: so out back John. We've had a few t shirts
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: over the years that we've had listeners make for the
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: show and some There was a guy mad Clown that
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: was a big fan years ago.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: He lives on a Favery talent.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: Really good, right, are you let me check cold a second.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Are you in that you've been with the show a
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: long time? Are you on that drawing that he did?
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: I don't think Okay, yeah.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: He made years ago. That's when Jake Warner was with me, Jahattis,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: John was on there, Genie and Medford, Blind Scott. I
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: have it right outside my studio here in my remote studio.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: I have the setup. Yeah. So we had some stuff
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: and last year, I don't know if you were listening, John,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: out Back John and Joanna, we were really close to
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: a deal to get some merch like shirts, like I
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: have a whole store of random crap to sell, and
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: the thing fell apart at the very end. I would
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: I'd love to do it. I'd be cool if guys
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: want the stuff. And I don't think you make any
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: real money on it, and Everything's so expensive. That's the problem.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Everything's so expensive. It's like, hey, ya, yay, see what
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: we can do on that? Ryan from Maine. Are you
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: hanging in there? Justin? I know this is a long
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: we're going along here, justin This is a long Okay,
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: all right? Ryan and main right, since says Ben, and
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: mystery guest justin Cincinnati is who it is? Ryan. I
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: don't know about you, but I am a sucker for
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: a good conspiracy theory. Not sure if you are. But
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: if you have ever heard of the have you ever
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: heard of the mountain dew conspiracy? And that's from Ryan.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: He says, do you have a favorite conspiracy theory? So Ryan,
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: Ryan asked that question for Mane. Do you justin know
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: about the mountain dew theory? Are you aware of this
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: conspiracy theory?
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: No? I am not? All right?
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: So according to what Ryan sent he says that there's
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: a theory that suggests the release of new mountain dew
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: products is coded and hints at events that take place.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: For example, in two thousand and one, they released Code red,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: and they compare it was cherry flavored, and then it
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: was supposedly Code red was a signal for the nine
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: to eleven attacks, Baja blast in four, there was a
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: tsunami in the Indian Ocean. There was the Maui burst
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. That was in twenty nineteen. The fires
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: were in twenty twenty three. All right, this is bull crap.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: I'm ignoring that. My favorite conspiracy right now, Ryan, that
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: would be I love the cal Ripkin one. The Michael
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: Jordan gambling so he went to play baseball in Birmingham,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: the Patrick Ewing draft lottery, the cal Ripkin Kevin Costner
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: won is an alzheimer. I believe that to be true.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Costner may or may not have been doing something he
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: should have been doing. And cal Ripkin was gonna miss
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: a game just before he broke the record, the iron
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: Man record. They canceled the game. There was a power
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: outage at Camden Yards. Only in that neighborhood. The rest
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: of Baltimore had their power on. It was a Mariner
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Orioles game. I think something was fishy with that. Any
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: conspiracy justin that you'd like to share, that's your favorite conspiracy.
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: I think one that's kind of cool is that Nixon
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: found out about what the CIA did to Kennedy and
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: then used it to blackmail the director of the CIA
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: to kill the other Kennedy.
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: Pre presidents.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: I have not heard that one. That is a good one.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Do you think that.
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: I don't think any person on playing it benefited more
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: from both of those brothers dying than Nixon.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Did the Kennedy Do you think Kennedy was assassinated by
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: the CIA? That was an inside job in Dallas?
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, CIA Military. Yeah. I'm tired of the mob trying
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: to take credit for that too. The mob's popping up
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: now and they have podcasts claiming everything. It's kind of lame.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got you. Let's see Alf Wright's in from Alf,
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: the Illino piner from the Commonwealth. Yeah, hopefully going to
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: meet Alf this weekend. At the event, he says, out
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: of all your trips to the Bay State, how is
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: it possible you have not been to the Holy Land,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: the Sacred Grounds where the greatest women's basketball playing coach
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: is in shrine, Muffett McGraw. Unbelievably, I too have never
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: been to the Naysmith Memorial Hall of Fame, which has
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: been in three different locations in my lifetime. And he says,
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: what better way to commemorate your trip to the Commonwealth
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: than for us to pop our Hall of Fame cherries
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: and visit the best sports hall of fame. I'm good.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: I would like to go to the baseball Hall of Fame.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: I have very little interest in going to the basketball
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. I'm good on that. The reason I don't.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: I went to the NCAA Hall of Champions in Indianapolis
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: many years ago, and it was the most ridiculous hall
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: of Fame. It was like such a waste of my
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: time and money. I was like, I hope they improve that.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: I'm good. A Ferg Dog in Fullerton writes in He says,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: Ben and friend of the show, Caleb, isn't your only
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: listener who gets in trouble for staying up late listening
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: to your show. My mom yells at me all the time.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Ferg Dog says, to turn the damn radio off and
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: go to bed. But I do. I listen to her. No,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: it shouldn't be any less impressive than Caleb. What he
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: does at eleven, I do it at forty one. And
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: he says, I have to formally apologize for openly professing
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: my love of ranch dressing on the show. I was
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: not blessed with a palette as refined and exquisite as yours.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: So I actually taste it, actually tastes pretty good to me.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Ferg Doog says blasphemy. Is this where he be exactly right.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: I've always I've always had it with my chicken fingers,
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: and bad habits are very hard to break. When did
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: you first discover ranch dressing is the devil's blood? What
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: is your oldest memory of tasting it? And friends of
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: the show, what are your thoughts on ranch dressing? Okay,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: so Ferg Dog wants to know what you think of
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: ranch dressing.
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: Justin It's okay, I guess on a salad or hot
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: sauce has to be involved.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm of the age. When I was a kid,
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: ranch dressing really wasn't a thing. And when I forget
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: how old I was, I think maybe around ten or
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: something like that. All of a sudden, as I started
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: to become a thing, and and then I just I
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: knew it was it was not good. I knew there
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: was something evil about it, that it was possessed by

• 47:12
  Speaker 1: then went back to Dibble, and then Dibble ended up
