  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.

  Speaker 3: Wow.

  Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.

  Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Maller and Danny g Radio A Happy Sunday to you.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: It's week twelve in the NFL got kicked off back
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: on Thursday night with the Texans taking down Josh Allen
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: and the Buffalo Bills. Are we now at the point,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Danny where the Raiders are so bad? How bad are
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: they that you don't even want to talk about? The Raiders?
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Can't they cannot lose to Shooter Sanders today? Right, you can't.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: There's no way to gonna lose to shoot her Sanders
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: and in the Browns, right, I don't know.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: Remember that one time where Baker Mayfield got signed by
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: your Rams. He came into the game and did what
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: he did. It seems like players have some of their
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: best games against the Raiders in the past decade. I
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: don't know what to tell you. That O line is
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: freaking horrendous. We've talked about it all season. The Chargers
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: have the same problem. The Raiders do no depth at
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: O line, and guys that are coming in as the
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: backups like Meredith and Kappa, they man, they couldn't even
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: be third stringers on other teams. And these guys are
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: the backups for the Raiders O line. And then Gino Smith,
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: as we've talked about, he sucks when he's under pressure.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: He holds onto the ball too long.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I maintain, well, it is fun to goof
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: on the offensive line. I look at the Texans as
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: a great example. Their offensive line horrific. Everyone said, my god,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the Texans have no chance, and they felt bad for CJ. Stroud,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: And then Davis Mills goes in, who's not any good.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: All he does is get rid of the ball, right,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: He gets rid of the ball, and all of a sudden,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: he had no sacks against Buffalo. And the Texans are
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: not great offensively, but they don't have to be. The
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: defense is pretty good and they're winning games with just
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: by getting rid of the ball faster. It's amazing how
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: much better your offensive line is now. Not to I
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: don't want to open up any wounds, but you know
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: that means I'm going to open up some wounds, Danny.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: When I say I don't want to open up any
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: wounds and then immediately say, but that is a dead giveaway.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: That is a dead giveaway. I'm about to open up
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: wounds in my lifetime. And I believe I'm right on this.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: The most embarrassing loss for the Raiders? How about the
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: last generation because I have I have a game picked
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: out that I believe is the most embarrassing loss for
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the Raiders in the last twenty five years for you,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: as I'm not a Raider fan obviously, Danny. And we'll
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: get to the mail bag, I promised, But what do
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: you think your most embarrassing loss last twenty five years
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: with the Raiders?
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Probably if you remember back to that Monday night football
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: game where Derek Carr and the Raiders were being touted
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: as Super Bowl contenders because Carr had come off of
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: a pretty decent year at that time, the Raiders had
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: one of the best O lines in all of football.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: So I'll never forget it was a primetime game. The
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: announcers were all over the Raiders junk juggling their ball, saying,
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: this is a super Bowl caliber team, and it was
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: during the whole Was it Black Lives Matter? I think
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: it was because that's when the O line and Derek Carr,
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: do you remember that where he didn't have their back?
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: That's what they thought, and so they didn't have his
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: back in the game, and the rumors were that they
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: allowed him to get murdered in that game. I think
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: he was sacked like seven times. Do you remember that well?
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I remember vaguely. I don't know if it was it
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: because of Black Lives Matter. I don't remember what it was,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: because I do remember they they turned on Derek Carr
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and there were some stories out that, yeah, issues, I
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: remember that part of it. I definitely remember that.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: That to me that I remember being so embarrassed because
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: they were being so highly praised and then they shit
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Sandwich live on television and that was super embarrassing.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: All right. So, as a non Raider fan, I believe
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the most embarrassing loss for the Raiders in the last
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: twenty five years was during the twenty twenty two season.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: The Raiders played was Week ten and they played the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts and that was the game coached by Jeff Saturday.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: That was the Oh yeah, that was the only win
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: he ever got as a head coach. He went on
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: one in seven or something like that. And the Colts
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I had lost ten. They lost ten of the last
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: eleven games. The only win they got was against the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Raiders and the game was in Vegas, and that was it.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: That was the only game Jeff Saturday one as an
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: NFL head coach. That was against the Raiders, and that
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: was what's his name, the guy, the Patriot guy.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was against McDaniels.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Mc daniels. Yeah, yeah, that's say.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: He should have been fired right there on the spot.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: And I feel like, man, I feel like Pete Carroll
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: and his son should have been fired on the spot
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: last week.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I wouldn't have a problem with that. I know,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I like Pete, but it's not going very well. Put
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: me in the hof at all. Well, I'll be at
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the Ram game tonight. By the way, Rams and Bucks.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: It's so funny.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: I'm jealous, man, I'm jealous. This Ram season has to
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: surprise you a little bit.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: It does. I did not expect Stafford to be healthy.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Put the wammy on him. We'll get hurt tonight. But
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I thought he'd be out by now. He's been healthy.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: He's playing as well as anyone in the NFL. He's
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: not turning the ball over, something he's always done. Uh so,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: it's it's been it's been great.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you guys actually know how to use Davante Adams.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: I'm super jealous.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Just throw it to him near the end zone.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: He'll get touchdowns. Yes, fascinating. All right, here we are,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Ohio OL, get me in the mood, Ohio OL.

  Speaker 1: dot com. And let's get the party started. First up
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: is Paul from Thomasville, Georgia. PAULA from Thomasville, Georgia. Welcome
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: paul A. He says, man, I played high school golf
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: and my golf clubs are longer than standard. I'm six four. Yeah,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I asked the question, I answered a question, or we
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: were talking about this. I talked about last weekend about
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: golf at Camball. I think it came up with the mailbag,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: which is probably why Paul sending this in. I forget
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: we do daily podcasts, but I was like, I should
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: pick up golf. And I gave away my golf clubs
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: years ago, and I want to get golf clubs, but
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: they're very expensive, and I want to get like long
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: golf clubs because I'm a tall guy, he says. Paul
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: from Thomasville, Georgia says, I suggest you see a golf
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: pro at one of the clubs close to you. Sometimes
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: they have used clubs which they can modify to your specifications.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: If not, they can point you in the right direction.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I previously contacted you about getting the Pope on the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Fifth Hour podcast. He says, I'm sure. I'm sure Mike
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: North has tipped a few with the Pope over the years.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Maybe he can help secure him for your show. Good
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: luck on the golf club shirts. That's Paul from Thomasville, Georgia. Well,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: we love Mike North. He's a Hall of Famer and
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: he is the most Chicago Chicago guy I've ever met. Oh,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: there's no question, Mike North is a just an absolute
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: bench loved the guy. He was a hot dog vendor
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: in Chicago. He became the most powerful sports talk radio
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: host in Chicago, made the most money of anyone in
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: sports radio in the United States for a couple of years.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Love Mike North, just down the earth, the kind of
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: guy you just want to have beers with and talk
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: about life. And then I think Philadelphia. I think Tony Bruno.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I think that's the most to me. Tony's the most
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: authentic South Philly guy you could possibly have, and that
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: my life has crossed paths with those guys is just great.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I love that. And the Pope. I don't know if
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the Pope and Mike North have hung out. I'm pretty
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: sure though, that the man that became the Pope, and
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I've talked about this before, was listening to the Overnight
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: show we were on in Chicago when the White Sox
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: won the World Series. We were on the Overnight at
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: that time, and the show was being syndicated into Chicago.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: So I'm imagining in my head the man that became
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the Pope was at the World Series and then driving
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: home after the game, he flipped on the sports radio
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: and heard the show that it's probably bull crap, Danny,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: but I'm just going with it. And as far as
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the golf clubs.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: It's probably like Vin Scully turned classical music on.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, I famously asked Vin. I thought Vin listened
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: to me doing Dodger talk.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: No he did not, did not.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Next up on the mailbag, Scott from Florida writes and says, hey,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Ben and Danny, g I just read a news article
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: that said the Simpsons killed some cast member off after
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: thirty five years, and fans are very angry. Can we
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: all agree at this stage that for the last fifteen
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: years fifteen years, the Simpsons are the Rby's of television?
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: He says, I literally, I literally don't know anybody that
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: still watches the show, yet it somehow stays on the
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Are there any theories about how and why is this
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the bot algorithm? Ben? That's from Scott in Florida, Ur, Danny,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: last time you watched the Simpsons.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Man twelve thirteen years? Probably?
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I bet it's been longer for me. It's been
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: longer for me. They are entering their thirty seventh season.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: That it is seve insanity.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and they've been renewed all that, they're guaranteed to
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: be on through forty forty years. They're contractually obligated for
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: forty years. So I looked up the ratings here Scott
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: and Danny g and Scott is spot on on the ratings.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: According to the Nielsen Ratings, which measures the percentage of
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: US TV households watching total viewership, total viewership has hovered
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: in the zero point one to zero point two range
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: in all key demographics.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Me, what the hell is?
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: It just like grandfathered in for the network, and so
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: it's like part of the identity, so they feel like
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: they have to carry it.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: It says adults eighteen to fourteen I total viewers often
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: under two million. Despite being on across the entire United States,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the series has maintained a strong online presence. It ranks
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the top two hundred and fifty shows for thirty day
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Digital Buzz. That was as of earlier this month. But
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: that is that is not the not the gule, the
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: not that when you're on every in every market and
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: you're getting a zero point one and a zero point
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: two rating, that's that's wild. They must sell a lot
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: of They must sell a lot of merch, Danny, right,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: a lot of merch.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: And I guess that was a great comparison to RB's
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: By the way.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Good job by Scott, way to go, and a great
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: homage to you, Danny. That's a great tribute to Ryan

  Speaker 4: is this?
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, why why do I have I don't understand.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and then they'll have to pass their grandparents about it.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's it. I mean, it was a wild time.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Menendez were at the games. Every once in a while,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump would show up. He mostly stayed on the
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: East Coast, but every once in a while the Knicks
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: would be out or he'd be in LA for something,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: he'd show up. It was a wild time back back
• 13:51

  Speaker 4: Right then one of them was going to do they didn't. Yeah,
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: that didn't work out as far as I know.

  Speaker 1: the origin of the phrase A penny for your thoughts?
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: He said, he was talking about the penny going away.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: By the way, Benny Versus the Penny is still available
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: on YouTube today. Watch it right now, watch it later.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Watch Benny Versus the Penny. You watch it before the games.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: No more of these international games this year in the NFL.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: But if you watch it before, you can get all
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: my picks. And if you want to watch it after,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: you can see how I did. So check it out,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: and he points out the penny is going away, he said,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: But the United States minted three point two billion pennies,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: he said, We minted three point two billion pennies in
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. And it's not like they wear out
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: like paper currency or we dump them in the ocean
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: at the end of the year, and so those pennies
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: should be around for a long time. That's Gary in Pittsburgh.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: As far as the phrase a penny for your thoughts, Gary,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: believe it or not, that phrase is one of the
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: oldest in use in terms of common use in the world.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: The phrase penny for your thoughts first appeared in print
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: in the fifteen hundreds someone named Sir Thomas Moore, and
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: was used to invite someone lost in thought to share
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: what was on their mind. The earliest recorded use was
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: in a book called Four Last Things from fifteen twenty two,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: and it was written a penny for your thought, essentially
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: encouraging someone to rejoin a conversation when they seemed distracted
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: and whatnot. That means that a penny for your thought
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: is one of the oldest idioms used, which is not
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: biblical or a proverb, and it still dates back to
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: the Tutor era, which seems like a long time ago.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: In the sixteenth century, a penny had real value, right, No,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: nothing symbolic or anything like that. It was a genuine
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: thing that meant something. Obviously, now not so much.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: You could get candy for your penny. Back then, she.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Gets something of value. So obviously, inflation the pennies has
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: been deemed worthless by the United States. They're not gonna
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: even bother making it. And so that's that, Thank you
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: very much. Gary. In beautiful Pittsburgh, Pa, The Home of the.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: Insers, Really quick, Ben, do you think if you had
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: a bag of pennies, could you get a prostitute?
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Back then a bunch of hookers and cocaine.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Well, my dad, my dear dad, when he passed away,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: one of the few things he left for us was
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: he collected pennies. And I had said, I've said this
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: a few times over the years, but when my dad
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: checked out, I was like, Dad, couldn't you have collected quarters?
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: That would have been much better the quarters. But he
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: loved pennies just for some reason. That was his thing.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: And he kept lots and lots of pennies. And there's
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: nothing more maddening when my dad passed and we took
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: the pennies to turn them in and stuff and get money.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: And then you bring in boxes of pennies and you
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: end up with like five dollars, you know, and you're
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: like eight bucks. You're like, what are we doing? Anyway?
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Alf from a complaint Department Rights and he says, happy Thanksgiving, gentlemen,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: what's your worst customer service experience? For example, being quoted
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: a price for cell service and four new phones, having
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: to buy two extra phones because of employee error, screwing
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: up trade ins, and having to complain to the FCC
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: to finally fix your phone bill after being overcharged almost
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: a grand after four months. Keep in mind having to
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: wait a month for the government to reopen in order
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: to file an FCC complaint. No, no, not that I'm bitter,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: says says Alf. Off the top of my head. I'd
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: say the experience which pops in my head right now
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: is I got a lemon the Malamobile. This goes back
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: probably ten years or so of that got in a car.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Are really liked it, and the thing just died and
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: we took it to the repair shop. They said, okay,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: we'll fix it. We'll be able to fix it, no problem.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: And then a week went by and we checked in
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: and said, well, we'll still working on it. Don't worry,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: we're going to get it fixed up and worry about
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: We said, okay, good, that's good. And then we went
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: another week and we called in and said, well we're
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: still we're having a few issues, but we think we're
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: going to be able to get it fixed. Give us
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: another couple days. We'll get back to it, no problem.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: So then another week went by. We called up the
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: repair shop. We said, okay, it's been been a while,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: can we get the car back. We said, well, you know,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: we we haven't been able to solve what was wrong
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: with it, and so we reached out the corporate but
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: we think will be okay, give us another week Okay, sure,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: we'll give you another week. So then we waited another week.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Then we contacted them again and they said, well, I
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: don't think we can fix it. We haven't been able
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: to fix it, so you're eligible to turn the car
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: in as a lemon And we were like okay. And
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: so we were okay, lemon. You know how much money
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: we lost Danny on that car and we hardly owned it.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: It was we barely had the freaking thing. So the
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: lemon law, which I think is a federal I know
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: it's in California, but the lemon law, you think, oh great,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: get your money back, the depreciation of that car, and
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: having to deal with the legal jump jump jumpy jump,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: the hula hoops.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: I mean it was no, no, no, It's like when
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: a car gets quote unquote totaled, the insurance company gives
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: you half the value.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was that exactly exactly. You said it better
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: than me, and it was like, okay, So we we
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: didn't do anything wrong on our end. We just used
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: the car normally and we lost thousands of dollars, Like,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: why how is that fair? Because I drove the car
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: off the lot. It's like, was there is there like
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: a magic line of a point of demarcation where all
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: of a sudden the car loses eight thousand dollars in value.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: That's the That's the number one reason why people hate
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: buying cars.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I will never buy a new car again. I will
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: buy a pre owned, certified car. And that's that's it.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: I will never Now I say never, unless I get
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: a contract like a Colin Cowhard, then I would be
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: willing to do it. Then I would be willing to
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: do it. Other than that, forget about it. What about you, Dan,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: any bad customer service you want to share with the class?
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think about car lots. Also, when we
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: were looking for bar for Brenda a few years back,
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: we went to let's say, I don't want to say
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: the name of it, I'll change the letters around.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: It was a markax a lot.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: In Oxnard, California, and it was right after COVID, so
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: everybody was still wearing masks.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Things were still funny out there.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: Never forget we go and they pawn us off to
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: some girl who was brand new at doing car sales.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: She was horrible.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: She had sitting around forever. She wasn't showing us the
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: right car that We asked her nicely to show us
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: and then Ben the power went out on their lot.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: She tells us, uh, sorry, I'm not going to be
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: able to take the car out that you guys wanted
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: to test drive. Not sure when the power is going
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: to come back on. Yeah, I'm sorry. I guess I'll
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: just text you guys later. But she never even followed
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: up with us. It was the worst customer service we
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: ever had in our entire life.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: It was so bad. It was almost like they didn't
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: want to take our money.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Well they at least there was no Hagwin, you know,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: at least there were Yeah.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Normally it's the other way around. At a car dealership,
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: you want to get away from the piranhas. Yeah. With
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: that experience, it was like they were so inept they
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: didn't know how to take our money.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Wow, that is that's unfortunate. We've all had bad ones.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry about that Alf too. That sucks. You had
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: to contact the FCC to fix his phone bill and all.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: That's that's b Quang from Ho Chi Min Vietnam Rights
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: And he says, hey, Big Ben and Daddy g Radio, Daddy,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: did you know that leaving dishes unwashed? Often signals emotional overload.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: When people feel mentally exhausted, simple task like cleaning seem monumental.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: This behavior is not laziness. It's the brain protecting itself
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: from stress. According to Kwang, research has shown that during
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: overwhelming times, even small chores drain mental energy. Ignoring dishes
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: can be a way to preserve emotional resources. It's the
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: mind's way of saying I need a break, and Quang
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: says taking a step back from chores helps conserve energy
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: for emotional healing and recovery. He says, PS, I know
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: you are a cheating ass holes take guy on dishwashers
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: in your make Housekeeping Olympics Great Again monologue that you
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: did last week. However, don't sleep on the dishwasher stacking event.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Quang says, who or what country can best stack an
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: assortment of pots, pans, dishes and utensils. There's money in
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: dishwasher advertising, says Quang. If you can get sponsorship from
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Samsung or one of the companies that makes dishwashers, I'm
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: sure we could work the dishwasher angle. I just believe
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Danny and I'm a purist when it comes to the
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: housekeeping Olympic games, and as a purist, I just think
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: you should wash dishes by hand. And I think once
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: you it's once you put the dishwasher into it, it
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: just cheapens it. It's like saying Barry Bonds as the
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: all time home run king. Well, he hit a lot
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: of home runs, but he had he had some help,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: you know. On Washing dishes with a dishwasher is a
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: competitive advantage. It's the steroids of the dishwashing world.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: You should never let them pile up. We wash our
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: dishes as we go.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I am the same way. I cannot go to
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: bed with a sink full of dishes. It drives me bananas.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I go bonkers. I'm like, no, I want to that's
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: something I want to do. I like to do it
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: right before I go to bed. I usually do it
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: in the morning because I work. I sleep during the day,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: and I'll do it during the morning. And I was like,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: that's great. By the time I wake up, everything's done.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I washed the dishes, I put them in the dish washer,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: and that's that and we're good to go. We had
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: a full empty sinks, put the dishes away. We're on
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: our way. Kevin in Kansas rights into the mailbag, says
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Dear Ben and Danny G. He says, yesterday November, you
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: sent this last week, he said, I discovered there was
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: National Clean Out your Refrigerator Day since it was also
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: my birthday, no shout out necessary, Yes, Kevin, I will
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: not do a shout out for your birthday.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: If you want to contact me on CAMEO, I'd be
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: happy to do a Kevin in Kansas Mallard monologue, but
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: I am not going to do a shout out. There's
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: two things I don't do, and Terry in England knows this.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: I don't do lists, and I don't do shout outs.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: I'll do shout outs on Cameo, I will not do
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: them on the podcast of the radio show. And I
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: don't do list. I've never done list at all.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Does Cameo take bags of pennies?
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Sure? Sure? Why not? I should raise my raid on
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Cameo too. By the way, what am I doing the
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: greatest deal on Cameo right there? Anyway? Kevin says, I
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: thought i'd look into the fridge because it was National
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Clean Out your Refrigerator Day last week, and there are
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: fifteen total items. It's pretty empty. He says, However, I'm
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: not a chef like you two guys are. How much
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: of your fridge will you use and how much will
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: you end up tossing out? All right, So first of all, Kevin,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: we have a lot of things in the fridge, mostly
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: eat at the house. I cook. I talked about the
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: chicken shwarma that I make Friday for the whole week.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: I do that on Saturday, but then on the weekends
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: on Friday and Saturday will make some some of the
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: unhealthy foods that I like at the house. So it's
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: always full of stuff. If it was up to me,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: I would very rarely throw anything out. My wife goes
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: through there once every two weeks and throws out there's
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: so much food that we throw out that could be eaten.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: But she looks at some date, which is I think
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: you'd agree. We've talked about this. Those used by dates
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: are a rough estimate. They're not they're not exactly right.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: My wife uses really a suggestion exactly. My wife uses
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: them as the gospel, and she'll immediately, out of an
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: abundance of caution, she'll throw food away, and I'll be like,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: the food's still fine, I just ate it yesterday. Well, no,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: it shows be like the date's not right. Well, I
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: know the date's not right, but do the old There's
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: two tests, you do the eyeball test and the smell test.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: And if you do the eyeball test and the smell
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: test and looks fine, it smells fine, it's fine. It's fine.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: That's it. And you can do the field test when
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: you touch it and kind of like if it's cheese
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: and it's soft still and it's no, you can't see
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: any signs of mold and it smells fine, it's good.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Now if you see something that looks a little moldy
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: or it's it's rock hard. Because the cheese is no
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: longer what it needs to be, you throw it away.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: And we have so much stuff on our fridge, keV Like,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: the refrigerator looks great. However, if it's overfilled with stuff,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: it starts beeping. So it beeps a lot because there's
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: so much food in there.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: What about you, Danny, Right, that's Brenda's department. She is
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: pretty psycho about cleaning the shelves in there and making
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: sure everything is fresh. In the freezer, it's mostly stuff
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: from Costco. In the refrigerator part, it is mostly stuff
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: from Trader Joe's. She's still OCD with the refrigerator. She
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: turns everything so that the labels are facing towards you
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: when you open the fridge.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's nice. We don't do that.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: We I don't know if nice is the word.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Well, if you need to look at something like that.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: So so her, you're like a like, I know, it's
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: a thing of jelly. I don't need the label facing
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: my face.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: So Brenda makes it like a sitcom, like a sitcom refrigerator,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: you know how you can see?
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she does.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the nineties, everything would be perfect. And because it
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: was product placements, so they'd have Oh, look, I wonder
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: I wonder what a kind of jelly that is? Oh
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: it's look at smucker Smucker's jelly because they have the logo.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: It's like so stupid.
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: It teas her about this, you know, probably once a month.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: I'm going to use that on her.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Next time.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: She's turning labels around and going to be like, what
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: what is this? Seinfeld?
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Or it's like full house, look at that unbelievable. Oh
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: my friends, you know Chip from Anchorage, Alaska? How about
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: that this podcast blowing up in Alaska? He says Ben
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: I don't live in this part of Alaska, but there's
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: a small town in northern Alaska that this week saw
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: the sun for the last time in sixty four days.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Could you and Danny g handle living in a place
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: where you go two months without the sun? That's from Chip.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: So I think I'll go first, Danny. I think I could.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Here's why, this time of the year, I really don't
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: see much of the sun. I don't. I can see
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: it before I go to bed a little bit, but
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: I'm mostly indoors during the day. I don't really go
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: out and do anything during the week. I'm indoors and
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: by the time I get up get my day going,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: I don't really spend any time in the sun. Now.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Saying that is one thing, but at least I have
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: the option if I wanted to go out and get
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: some suntime I could. Isn't that And I don't know.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Chip's obviously not here, Danny. But the place in Alaska,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: aren't there like two much where they get no darkness? Also,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: doesn't it even out? There's parts of year where they
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: get nothing but sunlight, and then the other parts of
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: the year they get nothing but darkness.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: I believe.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, so I guess it balance.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: But yeah, obviously the harder one for people. I think
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: with the darkness.
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because you'd feel claustrophobic, that's the thing. I think
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: I could do it for a few weeks, but then
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: it would start getting really hard, especially growing up in California.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, we have unlimited sunshine most of the time. Yeah,
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: it would be a super hard transition.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it would be. Uh but thank you, Chip. I'm
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: glad to know that you're you're listening. I've never been
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: to Alaska. You everybody to Alaska, Dan, you've been up
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: there and done the crew?
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: No, but I would love to visit. And I watch
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: a show. You should check this show out on Netflix.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: It's called out Last, Okay, and it's like fourteen. They
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: start with four teams all set up in Alaska. Some
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: guy to block you. They're given like basic supplies. They
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: have to last the other teams. You have to be
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: on a team to win the one million dollars.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: Oh cool. And so it's a survival show. It's pretty awesome.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: That's cool. I'll check it out. Kevin in Salem, Mass
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: And my wife loves Salem, Mass loves it. Dan, if
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: I ever you know. I was offered a job in
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Boston radio years ago and I did not take it.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: But if I ever moved to Boston, I think I'd
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: live in Salem. My wife loves that town. The Salem
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Witch Trials. They have the police logo is the witch
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: is a witch, which is anyway.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Ken loves Halloween, then huh she does?
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: She does, she loves Halloween. Kep says, listen on ninety
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: five the sports up here. Locally, he says, this week
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: the Celtics coach Joe Mozilla, Joe Mizula, excuse me. Kevin
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Joe Missoula says he took zero joy when the Celtics
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: won the NBA title. He said he sucks at having fun.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: He says, Ben, do you know anyone like this? Uh?
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: And that's keV And uh well it's.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: Kind of an open being sarcastic. Does he know that
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: you can suck the joy out of Disneyland?
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I mean I guess maybe Kevin's maybe maybe
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: you're talking about me. I don't. Here's the thing like
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: I as far as winning championships, it's one of those
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: weird things. I've been lucky that all my teams have
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: have had some success here. The Rams won a Super Bowl,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: the hardest super Bowl ever during the pandemic.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: The Dodgers have won multiple World Series. The Clippers got
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: to the final four. So everyone, everyone, everyone's had success.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: All your teams except the Clippers.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: All my teams have had success. It's it's been great. Wrong,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: And it's a little deflating because you get there and
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: it's it's awesome, you know, fantastic. Your team wins, it's wonderful. Uh,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: you know you aren't like Joema's at least got a ring,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: you know, he got that out of it. As a fan,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: they want you to immediately buy a T shirt and
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: a hat, which is overpriced and all that.
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: But that's the thing Ben and I know on the
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers documentary he talked about this, it's the well
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: what's next?
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: What do I do now? It's the what do I
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: do now? Syndrome?
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: After your team wins it all you're kind of left
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: not emptiness, I don't think that's.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: The word, but just this like what what now? You
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: know what I mean? Like that's the pinnacle, so it's
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: all downhill from there.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. And keep in mind Joe Missoula is
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: the guy. A couple of years ago, while the Celtics
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: were running to win a championsped he was asked about
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: the pressure and he said, there is no pressure. We'll
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: all be dead soon. That was his rep fun guy
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: at parties. Ferg Dog writes in and fullow him, Well
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: get this. We got a few more and we'll get
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: this done. In a first dog and fluorage and says
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: gobble gobble Ben in Turkey g Ben, have you ever
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: thought about intentionally giving a really bad take on the show?
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: The problem is your takes are so thoroughly researched and
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: fact based that you leave.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: This sounds like some ass kissing.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: All right, calm down, he says. You're your research, in fact,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: fact based that you leave very little room for any
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: sane person to disagree or have a rebuttal. For example,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: your take on the twenty twenty World Series being the
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: hardest in the twenty twenty NBA Finals being a Mickey
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Mouse production, absolutely flawless. He says. Also, with Thanksgiving coming up,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: do either of you guys have Thanksgiving family recipes going
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: back multiple generations that you'd like to share with the class.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Thank you. That's from Fergdog, So Ferg Dock very kind
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: of you. And the monologues are They call me Marconi
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: maler for a reason.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: And his email wasn't sarcastic at all.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: No, No, no, Ferk dog is. He's truth, justice and
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: the sports talk radio way. That's what he's all about.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? And I don't have any Thanksgiving recipes?
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: What do you You don't do the cooking, Danny, right?
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: You got nothing over?
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: No, no, And you know I have some family recipes
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: were handed down through email from my great aunt Joyce,
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: and she unfortunately passed away a couple of years ago,
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: but she was nice enough to email me a couple
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: of my grandmother's Italiano recipes. So I have some pastas,
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: her famous rigatoni, her casseroles, and her famous lasagna. So
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: nothing like Thanksgiving. It's all like authentic Italian food. She
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: made all that stuff from scratch, and luckily she wrote
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: her recipes down and gave them to my aunt.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: That's cool, my mom. When she passed away, we got
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: obviously she left everything behind, you know, Danny, when you passed,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: you don't take anything with you. Anyway, she left everything
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: and there were a bunch of recipes and she grew
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: up and lived her life mostly without computers, so everything
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: was written down. It was all chicken scratch. You're trying
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: to read, what is that letter? I don't know what
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: that what is that number?
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: Is that a?
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Four? Is that? Is that an a? I don't know
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: what that is? And so you're trying to figure that
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: out real quick. Anthony and Boise. He says he's formally
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: from so Calvibs and Boise Idaho says, gentlemen, they say
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: that this Thanksgiving week will be the busiest in fifteen years. Again,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: have thirty six hundred, wait, three hundred and sixty thousand
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: rather three hundred sixty thousand flights? He says, you guys,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: do you guys normally travel for Thanksgiving? Fun fact, Danny,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: I've never traveled for Thanksgiving. In fact, I hate even
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: driving the day before Thanksgiving, which is like the worst
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: day at least in LA to be on the highways
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: because the traffic is insane, so I will try to
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: avoid driving at all. I've never traveled to go to
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving ever. I've always I've normally worked in radio and
