  Speaker 1: with the as Techs, So shout out ASEX. Didn't they
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: do human sacrifices the as Tex the good and the bad?
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: They cooked up the popcorn? Wow? Who do you think
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the first person that figured out that you heat up
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: these corn seeds and you get the delicious popcorn.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: It had to be a really creative Indian.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: That must have been the most amazing mind bending moment.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: When they figure that out, you think, wow, that's wild.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And then who's the first one to put butter
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: on it?
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, butter? Sure.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: And then who's the first person to put nacho cheese
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: or dip it into nacho cheese at the movie theater?
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Now you're just blowing my mind. Now you're just blow.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: By the way. Promotion today, all cinemak theaters are doing
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: a popcorn special. You don't even have to get a
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: movie ticket. You could walk into any cinemark with a bucket,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: any bucket as long as it's clean, it says, any
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: clean bucket, and it's five dollars. Oh really, they'll fill
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: up to I think it's set up top. Yeah, I'll
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: check the gallons here. I forget how many.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: But the big tubs that people get for holiday parties,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: those big plastic tubs you.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Mentioned going I'm bringing my hamper, why not? What the hell?
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: There you go, your popcorn fun fact. So at fifteen nineteen,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the Aztecs, I guess, came up with it. And then
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: in sixteen fifty some dude from Peru was blown away
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: by this and wrote about it. Maybe inca terror. Our
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: friend wrote about it, but or his some of relatives,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: and he wrote this person wrote, they toast a certain
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: kind of corn until it bursts. They call it pisson
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: a colla. I believe I'm mispronouncing that. But anyway, that
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: became became popular, and it wasn't until the nineteen twenties.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Many theaters refused to sell popcorn. They thought it was
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: too messy. In the nineteen twenties, those people called idiots,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: that's what they are. But wasn't that case Like in
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: those days, Danny, people got dressed up to go see
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a show. Remember of the movies was a big deal.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: You get all dressed up, all dulled up to go
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: out there and put on your church clothes and kind
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: of like flying. Oh yeah, line, they would get all
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: dressed up to fly. Now people look like absolute pigs.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, I found it here, it's up
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: to three gallons any container tote or back.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: So you get like get a couple of you know,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: two or three, three, boom, you're good. Ninety two. According
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: to a national survey over nine and ten Americans ninety
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: two like popcorn and the others must be allergic to it.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: That must be it.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: That's good. Yeah. The only thing I don't like is
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: how the kernels get stuck in your teeth.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't mind it because my move is I
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: mean what I do, Danny as I go out and
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I get the toothpick. That's my move. That annoys me
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the wife though, because I'm picking up my teeth and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: she gets annoyed by that.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: My wife, she does the same thing. She has those picks,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: the floss picks. Yeah, yeah yeah, and she sawing away
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, how long are you going to do that?
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I'm a big toothpick person. I believe in the toothpick.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I'm pro toothpick.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: I believe it. I could I could picture you with
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: a toothpick behind your ear.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well I'm not behind my ear.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Wait, can you remove tarder at home? No?
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: We got today in the end, if I got rams Eagles,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that'll be kicking off just after noon our time, three
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: o'clock in east and then the game everyone's been looking
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: for to snow, snow, snow. The sports with Coleman Bowl
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: as he takes on Bill's Mafia Ravens and Bills. That's
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: gonna be awesome. That's not late late. That's three thirty
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: our times, six thirty Eastern times, so it's not at
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: night night.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Was that a pick them when you gambled on it
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: when we.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Did the show Thursday after noon? And the Ravens were
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: a point and a half favorite, I believe at that time.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: So, but we're looking forward to it. Who'd you take
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: in that game?
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Well, you watch Benny versus the Penny find out. But
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I did take the I took the Bills. I took
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the Bills at home Snow game. I still don't trust
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Although this is a legacy as I said
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: on the TV show, this is a legacy deal for
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen, who's gonna win the MVP.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: And if you.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Look at his career, he's already lost at home in
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the playoff to Mahome and Joe Burrow, and if he
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: loses to Lamar Jackson, you start questioning things. They're like,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: what's going on?
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: This is you know, what are you doing?
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: You've lost your contemporaries and this is that this is
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: this generation of great quarterbacks and so all four of them,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: they're judged against each other.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Ah. I can't wait for this game. I feel like
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Derek Henry is going to be a big part of
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: this game.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you would think the Bills their defense is average,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: but I still won't know about the Ravens defense. They
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: played very well the last part of the year, and
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: really it lasts like seven or so games, and I'm
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: still a little skeptical. And the Bills and Ravens played
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: early in the year and the Ravens just kicked the
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: shit out of the Bills. But the Bills were without
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: seven defensive starters, Amari Cooper, who's hit and miss as
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you know because he played for the Raiders. But Amari
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Cooper wasn't on the team at that time. And I
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: don't know how much throwing is going to happen because
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: of the snow. So well, I'll be locked in. We'll
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: look forward to that game later today. We have we
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: have actual mail. We have people that sent mail in
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: they want us to answer their question.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Oh it's about that time, mail, mother sucker, It's here
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: we go.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: This is from Alf's neighbor Mike in Siberia aka Fullerton,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: And by the way, thanks to Ohio Al love the tune,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: appreciate that.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: The great Ohio Al.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Says, Hi, Ben and Danny G not to get political,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: but you know what that means, Danny, that means everything
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: about to get political, everything before the word but everything
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: before the word but is a lie. And he says,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: are you aware that Donald Trump's inauguration is tomorrow? It's
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Martin Luther King the weekend, Donald Trump. Yeah, any G's
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: buddy will be reinaugurated as the president. Do you think
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: you'll watch more of that or the college football championship
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: game on Monday night. I know you guys are more
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: in the sports radio world than political, but I still
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: think it's a good question. For all, I know Danny
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: G might make a personal appearance at one of the
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: presidential balls. He does have an inn with President Trump.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: And there's another question, So we'll do the other one
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: in a second, but let's start with that. So I
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: don't know exactly what time the inauguration is, believe it
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: or not. I do like polics, whether it's Democrats or Republicans.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I obviously lean more one way than the other. I
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: think you kind of know that if you listen to
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the show or whatever, But I like watching that. Although
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: this is an anniversary for me. It was January twentieth
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: of nine when I got whacked. I was poll axed
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: by the company the day that Barack Obama was sworn
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: in as president. So this I have a little PTS
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: post traumatic syndrome situation when they inauguration Day happens, because
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: it brings back some tough memories. But I will check
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: some of it out. I think it happens kind of
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: later in the afternoon, maybe early afternoon our time, so
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I will I'll watch some of it, mainly to see
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: how uncomfortable a lot of people probably will be, Danny,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: because there's a lot of people there that aren't big
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: fans of mister Trump, and so they'll be upset, and
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: so always get a kick out of that. People freak
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: things that you don't need to freak out about that
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: they freak out about. So it's pretty funny. So I
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: don't know about you're gonna be watching any of that.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: You'll be working. I assume are you off, You're not awfun?
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: No, we'll be working the Covino and Rich Show. I'll
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: watch some of it same as you. I'll watch more
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: of the football game obviously, but it doesn't matter Democrat
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: or Republican is being sworn in. I'll always watch a
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: little bit of it, And then you want to see
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: some of the performances too, Like there was some controversy
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: quote unquote controversy that Carrie Underwould is going to be performing.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: What I really want to see with her is how
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: she can't make any emotional look on her face. She
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: can't look happy, she can't look sad, She only looks
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: surprised because of all the plastic surgery.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: She's spent a lot of her money she's put in
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: where her mouth is and her nose.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: And her eyes and all that stuff.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't it feel a little different though, you know,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: not that this is political, however, it does feel a
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: little different like when the last time, it's like so
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: it seems like a lot of like anger and upset,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Like Trump won the popular vote this time, So it
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: seems a little different. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Just seems a little different.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's a little bit different because more
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: people came out this time were open about who they
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: voted for and weren't hesitanting about it at all.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the people the doom and gloomers on the
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: world's going to end and all that stuff. If Trump
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: becomes president, well, he was president for four years and
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: things are actually better by the time time he left
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: than when you know, he came in, and now things
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: were worse when Biden left as opposed to Trump. So
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know, good luck to Biden man. He's not
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: in good health.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't know.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Who knows how much time he's got left, So hopefully
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: he enjoys his final final years as the former president.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Let's see alf alf Mike and Fullerton also says, what
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: is the longest shower you guys have ever taken? Do
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: you think you could take a longer shower than the
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: master of the two hour shower, Helmet Man if you tried. Yeah,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard Danny, probably not. But
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Helmet Man called to show the other night and informed
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: us that his showers are now down to half an
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: hour before he would take two hour showers.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: I saw one of your listeners tweeting about this after
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: it happened.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, two hour showers half of the morning.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: That's insane, man, That's not a shower's that's sitting in
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: a jacuzzi. I mean, yeah, you can't even you can't
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: even sit in a jacuzzi for two hours.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, your fingers turned to grapes and stuff after, you know,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: they get the all squiggly and the skin gets all
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: So I think he must go in and out of
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the shower. Next time he calls, I forgot to ask
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: him the other But next time he calls, I have
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: to say, what's going on?
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: How does he afford that water bill?
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Right, it's ridiculous, it's absolutely he's got to be at
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: a hostel. Well, I know he's got an Obama phone.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: We're the number one show on Fox Sports Radio for
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: people with Obama phones. So my show, the Overnight Show,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Holy crap. So I'm not sure my showers about. I
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: don't time it, but it's you know, it feels like
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: seven to ten minutes at the most, and that's about it.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Probably a little less than that in and out. That's
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: what a shower is all about. Don't spend a lot
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: of time in there and get done. And now my
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: one thing that I go a little over the top
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: on is I will I will before I take a bath.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I shower before the bath, which is wrong, but I
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: don't want to get in the bath all dirty, because
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: then I'm just sitting in the dirt.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Oh that's different. I've never heard of that move. Yeah.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: You know what's really nice A long hotel shower. Oh yeah.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: And in the hotel, it's.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, hotel, you can double the time of your shower.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. No, I agree with you on that.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I agree. And the water doesn't count in the hotel
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: when you go the water, it's yeah, the.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Oh god.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Anonymous writes and says, I live next to a Senior
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: citizen center and I am disabled, so I can go
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: there to the food pantry. I realized that the grocery
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: store down the street is giving the food to the pantry,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: so I went to the food pantry and then gave
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: the items to my mom to return to the grocery store.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: I told my mom that, you know, at the grocery store,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: they got me the wrong items. Can you return these
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: for me? It's been successful for about six months. Have
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: you ever found a loophole in the system like this
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: before you were Danny g that you were able to
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: capitalize on like I am doing. And this is again
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: from Anonymous, So this person Danny is claiming that they're rigging.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: They're taking money from the grocery store. The money, so
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: how's the way. So the money, I assume that's a
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: tax rite off for the grocery store. The food that
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: they don't sell they give to the Senior Citizen Center
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: and they get money back from the government. Right, I
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: assume that's how that works.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I would assume.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say be careful, anonymous. At some point
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: someone's going to figure that out and then you're gonna
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: have some explaining to do. But I guess if you're disabled,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: you can play the disabled card. But your mom's not disabled,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: so that might be a problem. So good luck. I'm
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: trying to think any loophole, Danny. I. I really haven't
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: done anything along those other than like media freeloading. Other
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: than that, but.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: That's not and that's on the up and up. That's
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: not freeloading.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, that's what I say.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: You know, that's pretty I mean, they have official online
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: forms for that, so there's nothing illegal about it.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know they have. They invite you when you
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: go to these bits, and they have certain foods that
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: you can have and all that, and I mean that's
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: all it's all good.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, the only way we do all these
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: iHeart training videos every year. The only way we could
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: get into trouble is if we did like little Wink
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Wink commercials for companies on the air that weren't approved.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah it's called Paola. Yeah, you're get in trouble for that.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: By the way, this podcast is being brought to you
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: by Puma. You know what you're laughing about. I don't know.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: It seems seems these brand new Puma X three's on
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: right now. I gotta tell you, Ben, they're super comfortable.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: I wore them all all day yesterday while I was walking.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Is that right?
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: What color are they?
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: They're gray in the Puma logos black. We get them
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: in all colors, though. Just go to Puma dot com
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: check it out. That is not a real model of
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: a shoe. That is a joke.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Uh all right, Next up, let's see Alf from the TikTok.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: He says, Greetings, gentlemen, how will the TikTok band affect
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: your daily lives? For millions of Americans who rely on
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the social media platform for their e commerce businesses, the
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: ban will put many out of work personally for me,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Alf says, as a conspiracy theorist, I rely on the
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: app to keep me up to date on the latest events,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: from aliens in backyards to drones in the skies, Alf says,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: most recently videos from the streets of California detailing the
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: devastation the fires continue to pour in. For example, I
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: saw a video detailing the efforts of a gang of
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: punks from Fullerton riding their electric scooters into la and
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: attempting to burn Genie's bench. This app is essential provide
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: the public with the unfiltered truth that the mainstream media
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: is hiding. Yeah, I'm not very funny. Well, I was
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: well written. That's why Alf sends us me mail every week.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: That was one of his better efforts. That was a
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: solid job by Alf. Good job by you, Alf. Way
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: to go, my man. Yeah, so I'm not as you know, Alf,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: you're my TikTok person. I'm not a TikTok guy. I
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: made the determination I can only have so much social
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: media in my life. I use it for work. I
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: remember this week. Give me example, my guy Sports with
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Coleman was going to war with Bill's mafia. So he's
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: sending me messages, right, He's you know, we're going back
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: and for he's sending me messages and we're yapping whatever,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: and he's like, did you see this on X or
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Twitter or whatever. It's like, I'm not on I go
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: on there at night and he's on there all day
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, what are you doing?
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: And I go on Facebook to promote stuff. I'll go
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: on on Instagram because they got that, but that's about it.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: That's my limit. I'm not on TikTok. I heard it's
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: really easy to have like tons of followers on this.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I probably should be, but I don't mess around with
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: it as far as I'm collecting stuff. And it's just
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: because it's China, like they to me, I know, going in,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: if you're on Instagram and X and Facebook, they're collecting,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: you are the product, right that old line. If you're
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: getting it for free, you are the product. So I
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: totally understand that the government claiming it's worse with TikTok
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: because China has everyone's information and all that, and they
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: clearly have their reasons for it. Well see though, isn't
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: the guy from TikTok's supposed to be at Trump's inauguration
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: tomorrow Danny, I think so.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: So yeah, But I also heard that there are other
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: heads of big corporations like that that are just autumnally
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: invited to a big inauguration like that. So I don't
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: know if that means anything special. But there's been rumors
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: that there could be a wealthy billionaire out there who
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: will buy TikTok and save it. We'll see what happens.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: This is good timing though, because for show prep, Covino
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: and Rich will always send TikTok clips and I can't
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: open them whenever they send it in the group chat
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: because I don't have a TikTok account either. So it's
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: frustrating because it'll be like a little sports reel or
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: a certain sports story. Can't open it.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll get sensed stuff and I'll click, maybe see
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: it one time, and then that's.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: It doesn't even do that for me. It used to
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: let me see it once, okay, and for whatever reason,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: the past few weeks, it won't even let me watch
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: it one time. Well.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Fun fact, fun fact, fun fact. You know who's in
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: the lead. I read in one of the business papers
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: this week to buy TikTok, mister wonderful, Yeah, mister wonderful.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: The guy that, Yeah, Frank McCourt, who I know. I
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: knew him when he owned the Dodgers. I was in
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: his office at Dodger Stadium, and just the guy that
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: was born on third base and got the money and
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: the family owned a bunch of parking lots in Boston
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: and he's partner a billion. Every time you buy parking
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: at Dodger Stadium, you're you're helping out Frank McCort.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Boy, he pooped all over the Dodgers.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Well we're getting the benefit of that. Because he was
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: so bad, they had to sell the team and that
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: led to what we've got now, right.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: If Yeah, that's a good way to look at it.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you had to put up with the bad to
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: get the good. Yeah. Absolutely. Anyway, all right, thank you.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: It's not true that he still owns a percentage of
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: the parking lot.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah, no, he does, and he wants.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: I had some people from the Dodgers tell me last
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago that McCourt wants to develop
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: the parking lots at Dodger Stadium.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: He wants to.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Make a I guess in Atlanta at the Braves. I've
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: not been to the bravest ballpark out in the suburbs.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: But they have like a hotel, they have an entertainment
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: zone with restaurants. He wants to make Dodger Stadium like.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: That, like a city walk. He wants to do Dodger exactly.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: He wants to make it an entertainment thing with a
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: hotel where he'd get revenue from that. And so that's
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: one of the reasons they're they're talking about building that gondola.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: I think Ben means gondola.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: That'll come from from somewhere else in LA and take
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: people like a people mover, So you'd have to park,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: and what a pain in the ass that would be, Danny,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: You imagine. You gotta imagine the line for the gondoldos
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: after the game, fifty thousand people leaving at the same time.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Because there's gonna being much parking. They build, they build
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: parking structures or whatever, something like that, but a lot
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: of the people would have to take the gondolas. They
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: mainly want that so they can use that space year
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: round and have people go up there at Dodger Stadium.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: If you've never been to La, you know, we have
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: a mix of people in LA. People not in La
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: So you guy, it's on the top of a hill
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: overlooking the skyline of Los Angeles, and you got it's
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: up a hill.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: So I'm sure media people would get free limo rides
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: to the front of the stadium.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: That would of course, that would happen, unless.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: It you don't even get to go.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Now this is from the unknown. Listener says, can you
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: talk about how the wealth that wealthy dude gave Stephen
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: King money to save his rock and roll station in Maine.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: So I saw this. I don't know what you want
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: me to add. Stephen King, member of the story into
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: last year's rock and roll station was going to stop
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: and they was going to go dark and all that stuff.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: And then I guess a couple of people ended up
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: a couple of rich people ended up coming up with
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: some money and they're keeping the the station on the air.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: They formed a radio group. I love the name of it,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: rock Lobster Radio Group.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Is the name of it. Two.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Some of the Stephen King's like seventy seven or something
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: like it up there, and he thought it was time
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: for him to get rid of the stations. But some
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: of these stations, Danny and with the point now not
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: that necessarily that's a great investment, but we could probably
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: afford to buy some stations at this point, some of
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: the stations with most of the stuff going to streaming
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: and whatnot. So we'll see my dream, Danny and whoever
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: this person that sent the question is, is radio actually
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: invented or not invented? Invested in promoting radio? There could
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: be an absolute renaissance in radio and radios. People listen
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: to it and does very well, but the perception of
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: radio could be so much better if they actually If
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: the people that were in the business, the people at
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: the very top of all the big companies, if they
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: promoted the radio, there'd be an absolute renaissance in the
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: perception of it.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Don't let me get my hands on one of these
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: FM radio stations. I'll do the first ever twenty four
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: hour gangs to wrap radio station. You'd call k TUPAC
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: is what no. I got the call letters. I would
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: file for k f u Q hey f you Q.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: It's good to be a gangster.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he f you r k F you rock Yeah.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Kevin in rock Rockford, Illinois writes and he says, I'm
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: sorry to hear about the your friend Ben Brian Wheeler
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: boom shackaca, Yeah, I talked about him. I was supposed to.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I suppose I was invited to this memorial service last weekend.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Could not make it. Boom shackaalaca.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, wheels all time. One of my my, my.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Greats, he says. Kevin from Rockford on the OI says,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I looked him up after listening to the podcast, and
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: according to Wikipedia, he found his birth mother here in Rockford, Illinois,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: where I live. I thought that was kind of neat.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Did you know that the voice of the Little Mermaid
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: was also from Rockford? I did not. That's That's a
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Rockford fun fact. I used to write into the podcast
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: a few years ago. I was the guy who tried
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: to get a mountain in Colorado named after you, Mount Mallor,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: but was unsuccessful.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: I remember that, you remember that.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Thank you for the effort, Kevin. The mountain was formerly
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: known as Mount Evans, but for political reasons, the Wolkester's
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: changed it to a generic name, Mount Blue Sky. Ben
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: and Danny, what do you think would be a good
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: name for a fourteen thousand foot mountain in Colorado?
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: Mount Stiffy?
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Mount Stiffy how about just Mount High, Mountain High. At
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Mountain High out here, I.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: Guess there is a Mountain High out here. Yeah, that's
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: where some people go skiing.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: I meant the other kind of high. Meant you meant
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Cooper Loop, Ritree, Mount Weed? How about that Mount Weed?
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Mount four to two. Oh, there you go, Mount cush
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Mount Cushy, Cushy. Yes, absolutely, thank you for listening, though.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you wrote in It's good to hear from you.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Kevin's people.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: It sounds like everybody finds their long life parents in
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: his town.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I know. Weeels was Wheels was adopted,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: and he told me the story about how he tracked
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: there his mom and how emotional that was.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: And oh that is cool. I got to make it
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: out there. Sometimes maybe I can meet my dad for
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: the first times.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Let's see. Here's another one from anonymous. He says, so,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: I live in South Boston, mass This is from anonymous,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: and they have the local bookie in the barroom here.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: It seems to be better to place a bet with
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: the local bookie than it does to the state with
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: draft Kings application or a fan duel or whatever, just
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: because they take so many fees, the bookie pays out better.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: What are your what are your thoughts? Well, you know,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: you have to make your own decision. I had back
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: in the day the Statute of Limitations was run out,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: so I can talk about this, Danny.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: But I had.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: A bookie when I was younger. But you know the
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: the Draft Kings that they're obviously a big advertiser.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and DraftKings doesn't break your legs.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you don't have to worry like if you win.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I was worried if I actually ever won big with
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: the bookie, would he suddenly vanish or say I don't
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: I can't come up with the money. You know, you
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: always wonder about that. Yeah, you know DraftKings if they
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: screw over then you know, I don't think they do,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: but if they did, you'd have legal recourse where the
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: neighborhood bookie. It's pretty hard to go to the cops
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: and say I got screwed over by my neighborhood bookie.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah. DraftKings is such a big company now, they couldn't
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: get away with screwing a winner over. There's no way.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they'd have to if you know, you have documentation
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: that you want and then you could take care of that.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Ryan from Shrewsbury rights in in the Commonwealth. Make sure
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: to watch Benny Versus The Penny Ryan on NBC Sports Boston.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: He says, Hey, Ben and Danny. Last week, Ben, you
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: talked about your friend who passed away and how great
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: he was. And not a jab New York Jab is Danny.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: That's just a broadcaster, a jab you know. Oh yeah,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: you thought him in something else. Anyway, he says, that
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: made me start to think, who is another great play
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: by play guy? And I cannot think of any other
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: than the goat Mike Doc Emerck, the guy. That guy
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: can make a boring hockey game super fun. His voice
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: and catchphrases are top notch, especially off the post. What
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: are your guys thoughts on Doc Emrick? Yeah, Doc was great,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: he's he's retired now. He's a former play by play guy.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: And I remember going to Kings games back when I
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: used to go out there a lot and Doc Emrick
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: was in town to call a game. It was like
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: a big deal, right like Doc Emrick. You know, this
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: guy started in the nineteen seventies to him play by play,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: and he just he was the dean of the NHL
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: and did the network stuff when I was at NBC
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Sports Network before that went belly up. Remember Eddie Oldchuk
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: was there and he did some games with Doc Emrick.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I think they were together quite a bit, so he
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: was he was a legend. That's a tough sport to
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: do play by play on.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say, man, you are super talented if
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: you could do that, and you're super patient if you
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: can listen to it on the radio. I heard a
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: King's game it was painful to try to listen to.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't who's the is it Nick Nixon?
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: Is he doing TV or is he I don't know
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: the name of their crew. Like I said, they're very
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: gifted because they can do that play by play. But
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: I and also here in California, let's be honest, we
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: didn't grow besides Wayne Gretzky, we don't know much about hockey.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: It's not a top three sport for us. But still, man,
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: if you could listen to hockey regularly on the radio,
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: then you are passionate about that sport.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The thing that makes it so difficult is a
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: the speed of the game and be the line changes
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: that they three different lines or whatever. And you've got situation,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: and then you have power play shorthanded groups and they
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: have different groups for that. And I remember reading the
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: story years ago. It's probably been over ten years, and
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: they documented somebody sat down and listened to Doc Emrick
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: call the game, and the he used over ninety different
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: descriptors during one hockey game, like you know, blocked, bounced,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: came back, krene, chip, chopped, controlled, covered, deflecting all these
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: different words, which is maestro of the language. Much respect.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: That's that's impressive.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Listen, It's one of my pet peeves. Danny. I've told
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: you about this off the area. Here's sometimes even like
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: in our business, people doing sports updates or whatever, they
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: used the same phrases. They don't change it. It's so
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: easy to do. It makes it sound so much better.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: I say, you know, we redirected, ricocheted, rushed, whatever. You
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: changed the words. It sounds much better to the ear.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: It's just a much better experience. But thank you, Ryan
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: from Shrewsbury. The mail bag continues. This one's from Kyle
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: in Denver. Says, Hey, it's Kyle from Denver. Long time listener,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: but I've fallen off over the last year with life
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: and haven't been catching up on the podcast Bad Job
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: at You Cop. I saw southern California was on fire
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: and a lot of the cities that you talk about
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: we're on fire. I just wanted to see how you
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: guys are doing. Hepe Paul as, well, there you go,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: and yeah, well we're still doing the show. Do you
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: were evacuated, right, Danny? Weren't you kicked out for a
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: night or something like that.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked about it last Sunday on the mail bag.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: We had to grab bags and close it and run
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: ten minutes. We had to get out of here. So
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: it was a scary situation, but obviously nothing compared to
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: the people who lost houses and all of their material
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: items that they had in the world.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: I've learned a few things over the last couple of
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: days about wildfires and why houses burnt up and how
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: you could protect your house a little more. And the
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: two things I've learned are a they say, like over
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: eighty five percent of the time during wildfires houses catch
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: on fire. Is the vent to the attic in a
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: house is open and the embers come flying in and
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: catch the attic on fire, and that lights the house
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: on fire. So that's crazy over eighty percent. So if
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: there's a way you can cover your vents, yeas the thing.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: The other thing is if the houses on fire around you,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: the gas gets caught on fire, and that blows the
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: house up, like if the gas. A lot of people
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: evacuated didn't turn the gas off a hurry to get
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: out of there.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: Also, Ben, you're supposed to unplug everything before where you leave.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So there was a story this week that there
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: was a firefighter who was out, you know, one of
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: his friends asked to have somebody check on his house.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: This is early on in the firestorm, and so this
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: this guy goes to the house and he notices there
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: were a couple of houses that weren't on fire yet.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: And this is in the Eaton Canyon fire. And he
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: went and he ended up breaking entry into the house
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: that wasn't on fire yet. He needed to cool down
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: the gas thing, and so he went to the refrigerator
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: and all you could find was milk and beer. I
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: don't know if you saw the story or not, but
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: it was in guy's like alta dina or whatever. And
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: so he went in there and how he used the
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: milk and beer, He used his training, and he was
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: able to keep the house from from exploding. The surrounding
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: homes were fully engulfed in flames, and he did not.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: There was no fire trucks around. He just was on
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: his own. He wasn't working. They say, the gas meter,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: that's the thing. You got to keep that cool because
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: if the gas meter ends up getting too hot, the
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: whole thing explodes.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: That is crazy. And then also I read that there
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: were a couple of homes where the homeowners put their
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: sprinklers on before they left. Yeah, and if you have
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: a good enough sprinkler system that makes a difference. As
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: you can imagine. It doesn't guarantee anything, obviously, but imagine
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: you know, a really good sprinkler system outside of a
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: house blasting, and at least she'd have some little force
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: field around your house. Yeah.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: You wonder all these people in the Palasades and when
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: they have the money, there's there's money all over. But
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: if they can afford to rebuild their homes, are they
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: going to rebuild their homes the same as they were before?
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: No ire proof? Now not at all. Did you see
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: the one guy in Pacific Palisades where his mansion stood
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: alone and he had a modern roof. He had a
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: modern roof, and he had he had a specially made
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: brick wall surrounding his mansion. His house was built and
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: it said a lot of it was for earthquake, for
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: earthquake disaster, but it held up to the fire.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they say that if you want, you can do it.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: But from what I've been paying attention, I was because
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: we know we're involved in it. It's all around us,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: you know. The I've know a couple of people have
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: lost their homes. One of my I don't know if
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: you were at Fox Sports Radio when he worked here,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: but Patrick O'Neil his home.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: In oh I know Patrick, I worked with him at
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: NBC Sports.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Patrick's home burned up, and I feel fine.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: It was really sad.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and my my sister in law's parents business burned up.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Then they had a home kind of in the business
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: thing and that burned up in this big nursery. So it's, uh,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: it sucks, but you learn about I mean, and the
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: things they say. The fire department claims, you've got to
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: do forest management. The electric companies should they need to
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: put the power lines underground. The thing that blows me
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: away about that is that these electric companies get absolutely punched.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Like it looks like I don't know for sure, but
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: it looks like the the Eaton Canyon fire started from
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: an electrical wire that caught on fire. They have video
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: of it. But it costs a ton of money to
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: put those power lines in the ground. But doesn't it
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: cost more money, Danny, when they're gonna get sued by
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: everyone whose house burned down from the fire? Like is
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't be easier just to put the lines underground
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: and at least you're not at fault if there's another wildfire.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: You said it, man, I saw an aerial shot of Altadena,
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: just just mind blowing.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I at one point made an offer on a
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: home years ago in Alta Dina. I loved it. I
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: used to go to the gym, the twenty four hour
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Fitness and Alta Dina.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: I remember you telling me about that. I know you
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: have some history in that part of La Yeah. I
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: loved dan you. Yeah, boy, that was a smart move
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: by you to go in a different direction.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: Well, I couldn't afford that.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: Okay, let me rephrase that. You being broadcasting.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: I'd like to thank the bosses for not paying me
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of money. Let's do one
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: more and then we'll get out on this. Zach from
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Columbus on the mailback says, you still got to tell
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: the fridge shitter story. I can break it up into
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: two parts. I know it's long, sure, And Zach says
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: he has a new bar store. He's the bartender. He
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: wants to host a mallor meet and greet there in Columbus.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: He says, one night there was some asshole, unfortunately also
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: named Zach, this little guy, bald guy. He came in
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: with his girlfriend, Brittany, a huge girl, nice girl. There
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: was an altercation. He followed her in the ladies room
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: at the bar. My retired old boss, who was also
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: an older man, the man who shoes I'm now filling,
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: followed little Zach into the lady's room to remove him.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: I was counting drawers and I heard a very loud
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: shattering of glass from said ladies room. Zack and Columbus says,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: I charge you. And I see my old boss wrestling
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: with the little Zach after they'd already broken the full
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: size mirror, while big girl Britney is still locked in
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: the stall, bawling her eyes out this is very very
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: cold night, late December twenty seventeen. By the way, so
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: a few years back, Zach the bartender says, I restrained
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: him easily, and I walked him to the exit in
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: a comfortable headlock, gently shoved him out onto the street.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: As he was shoved out gently, he lost his footing,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: swung around, caught me in the chin with a punch
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: much more gentle than his removal. But the funny part
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: was in the three sixty degrees stumble. After his little
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: tap on my face, his chants fell down, and his
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: underwear also fell down, and his tiny uh the penis
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: pop right out and he hit the ground hard. I
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: did not hide my observation of the hilarity, so I
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: guess he was laughing there.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: So there's our friend.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: That sounds like a fun memories acting you good to
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: share with the class. So all right, we'll get out.

• 39:34
  Speaker 1: can ram it in the snow and the Rams can
• 39:37
