  Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to clearinghouse of

• 0:35
  Speaker 1: and Danny g Radio A happy Sunday to you when
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the final Sunday's the next to last Sunday before the
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: National Football League takes over. And Danny g this the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: morning after the twenty twenty five Malor Meet and greet.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: We did it Vegas style, Baby Lost Wages, Nevada. There
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: last night, well last afternoon, from three o'clock till five o'clock.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: And it went longer though it always does.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I have so many stories I want to share, and
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I've actually been advised by Terry in England. He says, Ben,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: don't use the stories. Now, wait until next weekend to
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: tell the stories.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Well it makes a lot of sense because we still
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: need to catch up on stories from last weekend.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. In fact, that's a great segue.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: That's a good jumping off point, Danny, because I do
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: have a story, and we have the mail bag. Ohio
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Al is standing by, Ohio Al is standing by. But
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: we must begin with this. So traveling on the blind side.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Did any g traveling on the blind side? So my
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: wife and I went on. We talked about this yesterday
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: a little bit, the wild adventure, although all I pretty
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: much talked about was the fact that we ran into
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys caravan on the way up the coast.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: So we go on this wild adventure up the California
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: coast the other other day. We had no plan, there
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: was no itinerary's, we didn't use a pin on Google Maps.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: We followed the zen master, Phil Jackson, and Phil always
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: had these witty zen like quotes when he was coaching
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the Lakers, and I was out there a lot, believe
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: it or not, the Laker hater, I was out there,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and I love Phil though Phil was unlike just about
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: anyone else I've ever come across in this job, where
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: he actually gave you an answer and just didn't give
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you a cliches, and so at least that's the way
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: he made you feel. And so one of the things
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Phil used to talk about during the NBA season, which
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: seemed like it went on forever, and that was back
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: when players actually had to play in the regular season,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and Phil talked about, you know, the way to live
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: your life. He's enjoyed the journey in that context of
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the NBA. Enjoy that Wednesday night in Sacramento just as
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: much as you would enjoy Game one of the NBA
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Finals against the Celtics. So enjoy the journey, not just
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the destination. So of course that's easier to do when
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: you don't have a destination. Danny, we didn't have a destination.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: That's the whole point. The great thing about not having
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: a destination is you cannot be late. If you don't
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: know where you're going, there's no way to be late.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: You can't be late.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: We didn't have a hotel, room booked, we didn't have anything.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: And along the way we passed the Dallas Cowboy Caravan.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Then we got out of La Proper. We went past
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the Fox Sports Radio compound and then came face to
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: face one of the great monuments to human arrogance, and
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: this is something close to your heart, Danny G.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: You have talked about.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: This on these airwaves, on this podcast, but I can
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: now say that I have seen it with my own eyes.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: The I think it's the Liberty Canyon Wildlife Crossing.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: It's got some name on it now, but it says
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Annenberg on it. Now, all right, whatever, who cares whatever,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: that's the person who donated half the money.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever, It's called privately funded.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Fine.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: This is the overpass that you've brought up, Danny, and
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: we talked about here. It's in a gory. It goes
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: right across the freeway there, Ventura Freeway, and it's like
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: a sim City cheat code type thing. And they claim
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: you said this is the largest wildlife crossing in the world, right,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: isn't that what you've said.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Daniel right now? Yeah, Colorado is building one that's even bigger.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: As of now. This is the biggest and baddest and
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: most expensive. Yeah.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: So I saw I heard you talk about it, and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: you set me stories from the news in LA and
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I was like, well, this is the opposite direction of
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: where I live. We live on like the opposite ends
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: of the world here, and so it connects. It's like
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the Semi Valley Hills or whatever in the Santa Monica Mountain.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I think that I know the Santa Monica Mountains on
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: one side.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: And there's some other hills on the other way. I
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: don't know it connects a gora in Calabasas.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, that's fine, so I can report boots
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: on the ground Danny as an eyewitness. I did not
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: see a mountain lion. I did not see a bobcat.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I guess they can now, you know they can the
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: freeway without jaywalking.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: So that's good. Again.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I didn't see, though, any bobcasts, no lions, no bears.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I didn't see a raccoon, any squirrels, I didn't know.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: I didn't see that.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I didn't see a coyote with an uber eats bag.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I didn't see anything. Uh, and I had the same vibe.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I was like, I realized you said this was like
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: mostly privately financeered.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Yes, right, And so my question.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Is to people really think that the animals are standing
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: around there like it's a Disney movie? Do they do
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: they think that like that's like Bambie's mom and Simba
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: or planning a meet up there? Right on the bridge,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: you know, right across the one on one freeway there,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: and you know, I don't know, I just there had.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: To be some sort of research done where there were
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: a lot of animal deaths in that area, crossing, trying
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: to cross the freeway. That's all I can think of.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's like we're building highways overpasses
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: for animals. And again I'm like, they don't really no,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: like they don't know that's just for them. They don't
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: even know like highways exist. They just are out and about.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: You know, it's you know, it's like some kind of
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Pixar fan fiction fiction the endnet. I'm not, Oh, you're
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: against animals, but no, you hate an animal?
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: No, they're delicious.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Oh No. And now you can see, you know about
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: the big fires that were here, yes, less than a
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: year ago, and that's a solid piece of foundation now
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: from one side to the other, crossing eight lanes whatever.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: That is total. So that could be disastrous in the
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: future and not to be you know, Debbie Downer or
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Benny Downer.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: It did look danny like those hills were pretty dry,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: like it looked like I remember I was talking to
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the wife and we're like, man, they got to get
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: some rain out here or something, because these hills are
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: starting the ground starting to crack a little bit. And
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: that's not good. That's that's a bad sign. Man, that's
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: a bad sign. But any and it's like just a
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: year ago they had the fires and all ready the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: hills were back ready to be ready to.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Burn, unfortunately.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: But anyway, we kept going up there and went through Ventura,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: which was an absolute asshole of vent I thought Ventura.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Last time I was Ventura, I thought it was nice.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: But I guess we went in the wrong part of Ventura.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Holy where did you go in Ventura Main Street?
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: We I don't know.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: We got off the freeway.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: We were like, we were.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Driving down one of the big streets in Ventura, and
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: I guess we went to the wrong part of Ventura.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Oh you were somewhere on Ventura Road. Yeah, dude. They
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: were like like crackheads. And I saw, oh, yeah, you
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: were in East Ventura.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Sent in all fold you know you saw that. I
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: was like, whoa, wow that is I thought I was
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: back on skid row. I was like, dude, this is beautiful, right,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: maybe the ocean.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: What are we doing here?
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: And then we kept going and went up through Santa
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Barbara and all that stuff, and we we ended up
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: getting to Pismo Beach. Now, Pismo Beach is famous for clams,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: for monarch butterflies, and that's what they they'll tell.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: You right there at Grover Beach.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I would like to report, Danny, that one of those
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: beautiful monarch butterflies kama Kazi deed itself will kamakazi mission
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: right into my windshield, oh, much to the dismay of
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: my wife, who was devastated that this beautiful, bright orange
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: monarch butterfly had decided to commit butterfly suicide. One of
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the great wonders of nature.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: And now you know why they are building animal crossings.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Can we do something for the butterfly? Can we put
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: a net over the highway or something like that. So anyway, listen, Pismo.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: To me, those are all cool things. They have a
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: really nice peer in Pismo. It's beautiful Central California, really cool.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: But for me, Pismo is known for one thing and
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: one thing only, and that one thing, Danny, is the
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: cinnamon roll Old West cinnamon rolls.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: That's the whole town. That's it. You can have everything else.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: You can have the clams, you can have the butterflies
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: can flutter off. I don't care. This place is the
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: in and out of the OUI gooey cinnamon roll. There's
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: a line out the door. There's people buzzing around there
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: like that beehive, Like a beehive, Danny.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: I would drink a cup of that frosting.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Holy crap. And they really only sell one thing, now
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: that I know, they have a few other items on
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the on the menu, but it's pretty much just five
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: different ways to get a cinnamon roll. It's finger I
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: don't care if it's KFC slogan or not. Finger licking,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: good napkin soaking. You talk about that sugar topping, Holy crap.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Just awesome slice a heaven, you know, one of the
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: things that you're just happy to be alive and and
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: right there. And so we stopped on the way up,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: and we then doubled back on the way down because
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: self controls overrated. Danny tastes like a touchdown in your mouth.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: And I actually sold my this is fun. I sold
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: my wife because she was on the phone with the
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: cistern in law and she was telling the cistern in
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: law we stopped in Pismo again sinmin roles, and so
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: my sister in law was like, oh man, I wish
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: we had some. So I in my head, right, this
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: is how I worked, how wired, Danny. I said, you
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: know how I can get another cinnamon role. I'm gonna
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: tell the wife, let's do a good mitzvah. Let's buy
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: some on the way back to give to your sister.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: And so she was on board with that. So I
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: was able to squeeze out another cinnamon roll on the
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: way back down. Yeah, right, come on. But and it
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: was it was disguised. It was camouflaghed. It's a veteran
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: married man move. It was camouflaged as an act of kindness.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: But really I just wanted another cinnamon roll on my
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: belly on the way back down. Tell me I'm down,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: marcell I don't even think Marcella knows what a cinnamon
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: role is. So somewhere we were somewhere north, we went
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: to hurst Castle. We love the beach at hurst Castle
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: because there's no one ever there. There's a little pier,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: beautiful and it's like you know, lording over the Pacific.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: San Simeon, Yes, San Simeon, like the Gatsby Mansion right there.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: It's like, it's wild that this guy owned all that land.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: That the story of the newspaper empire, the Hurst Empire,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: and how he he bought all of that land. He
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: anything you could see from that Hurst Mansion was was his.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: And uh.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: And we drove up to the seals, you know, the
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: sunbathing seals up there. Have you taken cold to see
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the seals by the.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Way, have you not yet? No? Oh, yeah, they're great.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: They lay around and fart and uh and throw sand
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: on each other.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: And then we we.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Drove for as far as we could drive, as far
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: as we could drive. We drove up Highway one, and
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: it disappeared literally into the ocean. It was reclaimed by
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: mother nature near Big Sur, so we could not go past.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: We couldn't even really get the Big Sur because I've
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: learned that mother Nature does not do eminent domain. She
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: just swallows up whatever she wants. And this was the
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: entire road I guess Highway one there.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that Highway one has been jacked up.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so we we turned around, you know, muttering like
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: you know, okay, that sucks.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: What are we gonna do? Well?
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Highway one? I guess they had fixed it, and then
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: within a couple of months it was back down and so.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: That was that.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: We went back on our way down I mentioned, we
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: picked up the cinnamon rolls and we sashi ate our
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: way across California, went all the way up to Santa
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Santa Cruz, well not Santa c San Luis Obispo.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Slow that's what they call it, right, slow. I think
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: they call it slow sand Loo's Abysins. So that was
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: my trip. But I was so you guys stopped in
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: San Luis Obispo. We did. We stopped there a little bit,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: and the Madonna In we did. We stuffed.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Of course, my wife loves the Madonna so we stopped by
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: the Madonna In and we wandered around there. Had a
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: slice of cake at the Bandanna In, because why not
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: they have this amazing cake there, and I went through
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: the gift shop and it was sold out.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Sounds like you guys did a food tour, did a
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: lot of eating.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: You know, why not, don't eat much during the week,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: might as well enjoy yourself on the on the road.
• 13:01

• 13:51
  Speaker 1: dot com. First question up from Reggie in Motown. Reggie
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: from Detroit says, Hey, Ben and Danny, it was great
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: hearing Eddie call into the show this week. However, I
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: did notice a number of the fans were triggered yet again. Ben,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: on social media, they are still blaming you for Eddie
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: leaving the show. What do you think of this? That
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: is from Eddie? From Reggie about Eddie. Yeah, Reggie, so
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: my position has not changed. I will tell you it
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: is flattering. I love the fact that there are people
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: that have this passion, and I love the fact that
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: there are people that think that I have that kind
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: of power. I am flattered that you think that doing
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: the overnight show at Fox Sports Radio, I am in
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: control of the show, that I picked the people I
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: work with that is outstanding. I am very flattered that
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: you believe that. And I will be consistent though with
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: this whole like this outrage over Eddie. Me and Eddie
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: are friends. We love working together. I did not make
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: that decision. Who was up to me Eddie would be
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: back on the show. He did call in, he had
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: met Sherwin, a listener to the show, And so I
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: look at it like the way I look at sports.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: One thing I was told this by a Dodger executive
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: thirty five years ago at a meet and greet with
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: a Dodger executive. He said, listen, we don't care if
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: you rip the Dodgers. We don't care if the fans
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: rip the Dodgers. We don't care if they praise the Dodgers.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: We don't care about it. You can do whatever you
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: want as long as you care. The one thing that
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: we cannot have is apathy. And I go by that mantra. Reggie,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: like these people that are still upset blaming me, you're upset.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I get it that means you care. It's not apathy.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: This is important to you.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: And so you're.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Uneducated on what happened and you're misguided. But those are
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: separate issues, and so I'm fine.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it just shows passion.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Exactly, and that's all. I just want to get passion,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: and I get it.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: Listen.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I feel like when I was listening to radio and
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: there somebody would leave a radio show or someone get
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: whacked at a radio show.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: I hated it too.
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: It sucked.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: It sucks at some corporate weasels at different places that
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: make these decisions, and there a lot of them are
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: just based on financial situations.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: I don't get.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: That's not my department. So before I get in trouble,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Scott from Clearwater, Florida rights and says, hey, Ben and Danny.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Back in two thousand, he says, uh, this guy, Scott.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: I did my broadcast journalism internship at WKYT and Lexington, Kentucky,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: and while there I shot some Bengals games on the sidelines.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I also had to drive the Louisville a number of times. Now,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: back when they existed, I read newspapers every day while
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I ate lunch in Louisville. The newspaper was evenly split
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: between Big ten and the SEC. For sports. Lexington is
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: all SEC. I would propose to you then, that the
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: college town of Louisville is the line, the point of
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: demarcation between the Midwest and the south Cincinnati. That's two ends.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: One is north of Louisville, therefore it's in the Midwest. Also,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I think when you sound out Cincinnati, it should be
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: one N and two T's any thoughts there. I think
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: that's the bigger injustice here. So it sounds to me
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Danny like Scott does not like the way I say Cincinnati,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: just not like that. But that's my tribute. Remember the
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: show w k RP and Cincinnati. That's why I say
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: it like that Cincinnati, because they used to say on
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: the show like that. We've had this long standing debate.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Is Cincinnati a southern city or is it a Midwestern
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: city a northern city? And the people of Cincinnati get
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: very offended when you say that they're a southern city.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Yet when I've flown into Cincinnati's airport to change planes,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: it's in Kentucky, which I consider a southern state, the
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: state of Kentucky, So.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know that you really answer the questions got
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: to you. Louisville so like the South the North South
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: line cuts through through Louisville, Kentucky.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: So fine. I feel like I'm more confused now.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: I know, right, Alf from the Q Rights and he says,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: what's your favorite podcast Ben and Danny that you're not
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: personally involved in? From Alf Danny, do you have a
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: favorite pod that you listen to? We both work in
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: audio content, so is there something that you listen to
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: on your downtime?
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: No, To be honest, I have my hands full with
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: the podcasts I'm involved with. I'm usually listening to those
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: to make sure that technically everything is sound. I don't
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: have free time to listen to other podcasts.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I try not to listen to too much
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: stuff because I've talked about this Danny.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: You know, we work together for a long time.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: I don't want to take someone else's stick, and I'm
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: always concerned if I listen to someone else in like
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: sports radio or something like that, Well.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: It could be a non sports podcast.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like what normally will happen. I have a pretty
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: long drive in from the north Woods when I go
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: to the Mothership, which is more times than I used
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: to go to the Mothership. And so I'm in the
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: car a lot to and from and I do have
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: some time where i could consume audio content, but I'm
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: normally trying to, Like on the way there, on the
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: way into the studio, I'm trying to think about the show.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: So I'm like thinking about what I'm going to talk about.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: And then on the way home, I don't want to
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: think about anything. You know, you want to unplug. You
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: just want to My voice is always shredded at the
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: end of the show these days since Eddie left, and
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: so I just want quiet. I'm like a Buddhist monk
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: sitting there on the There's no traffic when I'm driving home,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: but I'm just sitting there and I want.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: I want to talk.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: And normally what happens alf is I will have someone
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: will send me something like I'll have people like my
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: radio buddies. Hey, you got to hear with you this
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: guy was on like Joe.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Rogan or something. You got to hear this, or there's.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Some you know, people know I'm into a weird UFO crap,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: you know, the old art bell stuff. Art's long dead,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: And so somebody will send me some alien story that
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: was on a podcast or something like that. So I'll
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: I'll get that content and I'll listen.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: But you know, regularly, no, I might.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: I might have some music or something like that on
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: in the in the background. Just kind of calm myself
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: down a little bit. But how boring are we, Danny?
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, my god, It's something we do for a living.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: So that's kind of like asking a football player, what's
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: your favorite football game to watch other than the football
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: game you were in, And a lot of players will
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: be like, I'm full with the football. I don't need
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: to watch it in my spare time as well.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I's like that OnlyFans model. You talk to, Danny.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: They don't want to parade around in their bikinis when
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: they're not, you know, when they're not working. They want
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: to wear their moumu when they're not they're not working.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm saying, they don't want to walk around
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: for those onlyfan photos. Let's see what do we have here?
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: What is next? We have Barry in South Carolina? Yo, Yo, Ma,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Bennie and Danny g on the mailbag. He says, Hey, guys, Ben,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: do you think blind Scott really talks to all these
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: other p ones. He says he does blind Scott or
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: BS claims he speaks knows text with Alf the illan opiner,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Mike de Leprechaun, Jed who fled Marked, the full Name Guy,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: and even new masshole Mickey. I am calling BS. He says,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: also any update on Angry Bill from Barry, So I'll
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: take the Angry Bill thing first. Angry Bill has not
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: been a regular caller of the last month or two
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: months or so, has had some major health problems. He
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: did call in and one time one time about a
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: month ago, about a month ago, and he had mentioned
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: he had asked some health problems, but he didn't get
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: into it. Angry Bill is such a gruff New Jersey
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: guy that you can tell he's going through a bunch
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: of stuff, like things are not going well. He's had
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: a tough life physically and things are not great for him.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: But he's also the guy that's not gonna bitch about
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: it and complain about it. He's not your standard young
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: person today that wants to wallow in victimhood like Angry Bill,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: but certainly claim man, I've had a tough life. I
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: went to jail for robin a bank I've had to live,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I've had to work into my sixties. Here my body's
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: falling apart. But he hasn't done that, Like he just like, yeah,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: I got some crap, I got some things that are
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: wrong with me and all that stuff, and he he
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: doesn't complain. So I don't know. Other than that, I
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: don't know what's going As far as blind Scott. The
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: way I will answer that one is it depends Barry,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: which of blind Scott's seven personalities you're talking about, Like,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: there is no course blind Scott does communicate with other
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: fans of the show, how much he communicates and what
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: they talk about.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: I have no idea. I sit down, I have no idea.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I I do know that Scott has has just been
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: absolutely carpet bombing my email to the point where I
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: can't even go through my email because it's all blind Scott,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: blind Scott, blind Scott blind It's you know, him yelling
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: at me for things that I'm doing on our show suck.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: He was always one of the funniest characters back in
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: the day when I worked on your Overnight show.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, blind Scott's one of the great Overnight characters. And
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I have nothing bad it's his contribution to the show
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: has been next level. Some of the other crap where
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: he threatens to quit the show every week and thinks
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: he's not getting enough credit for what he does and
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: you know like this, and he he'll complain to me
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: about interactions with other fans of the show Danny and
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: my response, I wrote back, I said, listen, you know
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: this is I forget exactly what I said.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: I was like, listen, when you're when you put yourself
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: out there and you're you're.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: A character on the show, people are not gonna like that.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: People get jealous. Everyone wants the attention, but you got
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: to ignore it. Just don't interact with it. That's what
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: I That's why I don't go on I don't go
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: on X anymore during the day because I don't want
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: to deal with the bull crap.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: I'll go I'll go on.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: There because the company will ask me to send something
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: out a video or I have something that I need
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: to promote, and I call her a drive by, I'll send.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: I'll go on there, I'll click send it and I'm out.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: I'm done. I'm out.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Skis you know, and that's it. Maybe I'll I'll check
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: somebody sends me a private message. I might check that
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: every once in a while, but that's it. So I'm
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: not I'm not in that world. But anyway, JJ from
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: the Bay rights in. He says there was a big
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: debate online this week, and he says, Ben, I know
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: you're not a music guy, but I want to know
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Danny G's thoughts. Who do you think should headline the
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: super Bowl. It's here in the Bay Area in February.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be northern California. It's not gonna happened, But
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: it should be Metallica. It really should. I mean they've
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: they've done because they've done hip hop a couple of
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: years in a row. Metallica have Bay Area roots that
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: I think would be an amazing show. For years, people
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: have asked for Metallica to do halftime at the super Bowl.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad JJ asked you, Danny, because my position
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: on halftime is they could put anyone out there. I
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: don't care unless they're showing their boobs like Janet Jackson.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna go be.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Getting popcorn or whatever at halftime. I'm I'm watching, you know,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: get my snacks at halftime.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: I'm not y yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, mister anti
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: bumper music.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Oh oh exactly exactly. Now, if Taylor Swift does it,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: that'll lead to the conspiracy. Well, the Chiefs are going
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl, Taylor Swift's going to be
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: performing at halftime, that whole thing will pop up again.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Mickey from Ohio right, since says, Hey, Ben and Danny,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I know this is not a pop culture podcast, but
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Sidney Sweeney commented on the outrage over her bathwater soap,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: and she said it was mostly girls making comments about it, and.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Mickey wanted to get our thoughts on that.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I didn't see these comments, but I guess I guess
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: she was saying that men didn't care about it, but
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: women were upset. But isn't that that's like, not really surprising, right, Danny,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: isn't that.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: Kind of Yeah, women are caddy against other women who
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: have big boobs.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're kind of jealous of other good looking women
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: to get a lot of attention. I don't think that's new.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: I think that's kind of always been the way it is.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: And I yeah, all right, thank you for that. Let's
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: see who is next, Kevin. Kevin writes in to the
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: fifth Hour podcast Real fifth Hour, by the way, Real
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: fifth Hour at gmail dot com and says a good idea,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: bad idea, guys. He says, there's a new smartphone for
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: children that will automatically block nudes. That's Kevin, want to
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: know what we thought about that?
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, how does that work? How does it know?
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: See the twigging berries and all of a sudden they
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: block it. They see the boobies and that's it. They
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: see the bote and they say nay, nay to the
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: butte finish here it is. Kevin sent the sorry finished
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: phone company Human Mobile Devices, which also involved with Nokia Hansys.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: They developed the phone in response to widespread concern from
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: parents about standard smartphones. So, yeah, I don't know, Like
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: what's well, we as young guys, Danny, we had to
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: go find porn. Like porn didn't find us. We had
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: to go find porn, right, you had to whether it
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: was national geographic magazines or or catalogs.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, or the section.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, remember that there was that there were varying
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: degrees growing up back in the Stone Age, like we
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: grew up, Danny, where like you were always fascinated growing up,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: you going through puberty.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: About the the other.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Party's bodies, and so you you maybe come across a playboy,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: like you had the uncle's playboy or something. But then
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: every once in a while somebody would get access to
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: a penthouse and that was danny. Yeah, that was next level.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Oh that was we thought that was hardcore exactly. I mean,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: because you get like a playboy, you think, oh, boy,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: that's porn. But then somebody with some of the one
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: of the boys would get a penhouse. Oh my god,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: what is that? You know, it was ridiculous.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: So Benny, my older brother, found a playboy at my
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: uncle's and we had to do yard work outside for
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: my grandmother. My grandmother's house is where he was living.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: We would like rake the leaves we were kids. We'd
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: rake the leaves in every ten minutes. My brother would say,
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: all right, let's take a break, and during the he
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: would open up the playboy. We'd look at the pictures
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: and he'd be like, all right, breaks over, and then
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: we'd start doing the yard work again.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: They were giving you motivation. The photos were giving you motivation.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: They they really were.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: When we were in I think it was like sixth
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: or seventh grade, one of my buddies who was a
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: little sheltered a Mormon kid, not that that I mean,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: he was just religious where his family was religious, and
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: he didn't get out a lot. And he I remember
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: he figured out that they had a bunch of national
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: geographics in the classroom, and he figured out that it
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: had there was a couple of issues that had these
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: women from Africa who did not wear like shirts, you know,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: and he was like it was amazed by this, and
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: he kept he was obsessed with these national geographics to
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: the point where the teacher figured it out and then
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: ripped literally ripped the pages out of the national geographic
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: that had the the naked women. There were a lot
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: of boobs. There were a lot of boobs.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: So that was that was interesting. That was that was
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: interesting for sure.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Believer. Oh that's a great that's a good one.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: Play that again. Yeah, yes, that is from our friend Cowboy.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Boo.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: Believer. Oh that is so good, I cowboy John.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: I am smiling from ear to ear. I am that
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: is great. We'll do a couple more. Steven from Phoenix, right,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: since says, hey, Ben and Danny, I know you guys
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: have talked about this restaurant in the past. Did you
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: see that Cracker Barrel has a new logo for the
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: first time in almost fifty years. Is this an upgrade
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: or a downgrade?
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: Not just a new logo. They renovated the insides and
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: outsides of how these restaurants look now.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: So I saw the logo I have not seen I've
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: not been to a Cracker Barrel in a long time,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: although every time I visit, I've only been there one time.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: But my father in law, who lives in North Carolina
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: most of the year, now loves Cracker Barrel. So I imagine
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: next time I visit North Carolina, we will go to
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: a cracker Barrel again. Although there are cracker barrels in
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: the area, the one in Santa Maria. I stopped in
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Santa Maria on my way up. I go to Costco
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: and Santa Maria to get gas. When I go up
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: to the California coast, they closed the Cracker Barrel.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: I don't like.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: I'm going thumbs down Dan on the new logo. I
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: don't like it's too basic. I think it's it takes
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: away the ethos of what cracker barrel wash was. The
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: old guy, some would say, the Cracker Danny in the photo.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: There the logo. So I don't know. I just I
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: don't like it. I think Cracker hands down the greatest
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: cracker of all time.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Yes, last one from Mike In Parts Unknown, he says, Hey, bandon, Danny,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: did you see the White House is getting a ticked page?
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Weren't they trying to get rid of TikTok? What is
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: this about China? I'm not on TikTok? Are you on TikTok?
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: Danny?
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: G I'm not on TikTok? So I don't know what.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: I assume they're trying to reach people. That's why they're
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: doing that.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: Obviously, I'm not on there either. I don't what do
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: you want me to say?
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: And it's it's politics. Everyone's a hypocrite and politics that's
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: just the way it is. That's just how they operate.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: So that's that's all all right. We'll get out on that, Danny.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I will be back tonight in the main main studio
• 32:34

• 32:40
  Speaker 1: studio stop by from a friend from Chicago who might
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: be stopping by. I have not heard from him. I
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: don't believe I've heard of him. I hope he'll be
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: coming by. And uh, what about you guys, Corvino and
• 32:51
