• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Yes, it is a glorious, wonderful day so far on
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Benny versus the Penny. I know you're very concerned about that,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: unless you're not. But I'm one and one. I did
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: have the Cowboys, I took Kansas City, I laid the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and that was a bad, bad situation back on Friday night.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: But anyway, listen, well we'll get into some great storylines
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, but this is not about that. It's
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: all about you. It's all about the letters. So let's
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: get to Ohio and get us in the mood.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Ohio. It's all right, very good.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: So these are actual messages from actual listeners. Real fifth
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Hour at gmail dot com. That's Real fifth Hour at
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: gmail dot com. If you'd like to participate, FERG Dog
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: is in the leadoff chair here from Fullerton, that winter Wonderland.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I know Ferg's excited as we get into football season.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: That means the copy is going to change for tire rack,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: and good chance we'll get some winter tire rack commercials
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: coming up here in a little bit, so we look
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: forward to that. But a furd dog in Fullerton says
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: hey Ben and Danny G after hearing about the crazy
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: parking prices in Vegas into last week's podcast. I've never
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: been happier to live in Fullerton. I don't know if
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I told you this before, but Fullerton's downtown has over
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: twenty five hundred free public parking spots. You can enjoy
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: all the shops and restaurants without worrying about running back
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: to put more coins in the meter. That's a home
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: run in your mouth right there. And he says also
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: in Daddy G, if you want to.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: By the way, he's referring to a drop at one
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: point several times on last weekend show.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, he also says, and Daddy G, if you want
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: to spend less on daycare, you should try free range parenting.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: It won't cost you a dime to drop little co
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: off at a farm and then just let him wander around. Daddy,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: you'd have to put him in overalls. I guess right.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Put him at overalls and a little little hat there, and.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Benny, we're doubly pissed. Now he might be able to
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: hear in my voice. But I'm sick and this is
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: as well. Last Saturday, I told the story about how
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: poor CoA and foot and mouth disease from that f
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: and Montsory school. We took the tour of whatever CoA
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: had he passed on to us, and we have the
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: adult version of that bug.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Wonderful, wonderful. When I get sick and I doesn't have
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: a very offense is I found the magic of garlic.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: But I still every once in a while, I will
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: forget to take the proper amount of garlic, or I'll
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: do it too late, and I'll get sick and it
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: just lingers. That's the worst part, especially when you do
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: this kind of stuff. We have to talk for a living,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and it seems like it takes three months to fully
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: get back.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: At one point on Thursday's Covino and Rich show, my
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: voice just completely went out. Yeah, and it sounded funny
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: like a Greg break moment. But it was when we
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: were celebrating a listener winning a game, so there were
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: other people making noise and you couldn't really hear it.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: It's buried, thank god.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: It's hard. You're right, because there is no we're open
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: like seven to eleven. There's really no time to recover
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: and there there's no cortazone shot or there's no training
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: room table we can lay on to get fixed up.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure, it's pretty wacky. Hey,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Alf from the interweb says, happy week one of the
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: NFL football schedule. Gentlemen, have you Hey says have you
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: heard of any good Russian websites lately? Definitely not the
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: kind that broadcast football, because that would be wrong. Well, Alf,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: as you know, a big brother is always listening, and
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I know that the Chat, GBT and Grock and all
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: those are listening to everything we say, Danny right, everything
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: we It's wild they I don't know how they do it,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: but they are listening to everything We're doing. Wrong of
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: us to give out any websites? A lot of the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: boys upset them any because I guess I've heard conflicting reports.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Now Stream East, which was the number number one pirated website.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: That's where all the boys would go to watch games
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and not have to pay for them, and supposedly that
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: got shut down, although I got a message saying it's up.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I have not been on that in a while because
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: it would be wrong Danny to use a pirated website
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: like stream East. But there are others. It's it's kind
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: of like whack them All, ALF, where you knocked one
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: down and two others pop up, and it's just kind
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: of one of those deals. It's kind of one.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: I have no idea what you're talking about. My VPN
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: says I live in Orlando.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I might live in the Czech Republic.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but maybe I'll fire you off an
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: email or ALF and try to try to help you
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: out on that. But I think we'll leave that off
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: the podcast. A Reggie from Detroit writes in He says, Ben,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: do you think Screaming Steven and that homeless guy from
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Tempe will become regular characters on the show. I like
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: both their calls. It's from Reggie. I'm gonna go definitely
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: know I'm the homeless guy from Tempe. That's a couple
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: time caller. That's it. And then the screaming Steven. They're
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: screaming Steve. I think he's got a shot.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: I've heard him on your show. I like that team.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he's got that thing of a jig that
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: you're looking for.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: He's got the it factor.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's there's something there. So I'm going to go
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and say yes, Reggie, Scream and Steve will be part
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: of the show for a while. I don't think our
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: homeless guy in Tempe will. Although the other homeless guy
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: who's now got a player, Buddy in Vermont, who started calling,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I think he can be a regular on the show.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I think he'll be part of the show. But between
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: those two, because that's what you asked, Scream and Steve
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I believe will be be part of it for a while.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Anyway.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Ryan writes in and says on the mailbag, Hey benon
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Danny Boys last weekend, I had my bachelor party at
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox game Friday against Paul Skeens and the Pirates,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and also went to an Encore casino on Saturday, went
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: on cor casino on Saturday. Ryan says, at the time
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: you read this, it will be exactly twenty eight days
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: from the wedding. Oh man, he says, I remember emailing
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: you guys a while back talking about it, and now
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: it's less than a month. I was pumped to see
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Paul Sken's pitch in person, which makes me want to
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: ask both of you, have you ever been to a
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: game where the opponent had a player you wanted to see?
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Mine was Paul Skeens. He was incredible mowing the Red
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Sox players down. Can you can be any sport at
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: any point in both your guys' lives from Ryan?
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, Ryan. I mean when I was a younger lads,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: as a kid, I got to watch Nolan Ryan pitch.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: That was ridoculous.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Even at the time, I remember going to basketball games.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I saw Charles Barkley play for the Sixers against the
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Clippers at the LA Sports Arena. That was pretty cool.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Larry Bird, Magic Johnson. I mean, those kind of guys
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: back then were iconic and not football not so much.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: I didn't go to a lot of football games I
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: did see in the late eighties. I saw Joe Montana
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: slay my Rams, but that was more of an annoyance
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: than something that I wanted to see. At the time.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I did not did not embrace that, but there have been.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: They've been much. But Paul Skaines is pretty cool. That's
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the phenom Ryan obviously of this era. And Danny from
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Orange County. I went to Eltoral High School in South
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Orange County, so I played against Eltori High School I
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: was in high school. But anyway, anybody remember Danny back
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Maybe were watching the back in the day.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Well I got to see plenty of famous players
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: for other teams, Torch the Raiders. Like the night Brett
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: farre went off in Oakland. I was there for that
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: right after his dad last.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Remember that.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like one of those things where you're
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: like happy for the player, but it sucks that it
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: happened against your team.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: No, And then for baseball. You know, I split my
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: time as a kid between LA and the Bay. When
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: I would be at my aunt's house in the summertime
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: in Oakland, we got to go to an Oakland A's
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: game one day against the Brewers and I got to
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: see an aging Robin Yount and Raleigh Fingers.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: That's cool.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Raleigh Fingers was like larger than life. I just wanted
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: to see that mustache in person, because you know, when
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: we were little kids. We had all his baseball cards.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you always knew where he was because it's hard
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: to miss him with them with the mustache. And I
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: love that whole thing. If Raleigh Fingers hadn't played for
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Charlie Finley and and been challenged right the whole facial
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: hair thing, how he started doing that, like, he would
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: have been a great picture and all that, but it
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have had the same staying power because you right away,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: you can imagine even our blind guys, Danny can imagine
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Roley Fingers with a handleball or mustache. But if he
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: had just had a regular mustache or no mustache, like
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: it's like James Harden without the beard.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: It's like, oh, you know, it's like a superpower.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Samson's hair, you know what. Anyway, congrats you're
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: getting close there. Good luck Ryan on the wedding. I
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: hope all the plannings don't remember whatever the planning is,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: just agree to it. Just let the wife take care
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: of it, the wife to be, and you're you're okay.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Let's see who's next. See page down. Let's see I
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: didn't get a name on this one. See this guy's
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: gonna get upset. Well, let me type this in. I'm
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: gonna take the what you might call it out of this,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna put this over here on the male.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: You listen to our live coverage right now, and I'm
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: going to find out who this is.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Like to notify all the affiliates down the line that
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Ben Mahler is searching for a name.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Well, I didn't write the name down, and then I
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: see this. I believe it's Scott, not blind Scott, but
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Scott from Things in Florida. He thinks we're just buddies,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: so he doesn't have to put his name, but I
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: had to go back and check anyway. He says, Hey,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Ben and Danny, what's the dumbest series of choices you
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: have made without really realizing it, when maybe after thirty
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: minutes or a few hours you thought to yourself, how
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: did I get in this situation and how do I
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: get out of it? So it's kind of an open
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: ended question from Scott, not very specific. I like, we've
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: all made dumb decisions and dumb choices. What he's looking
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: for specifically? I could tell you that there's some jobs
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: that I've done, some fillings, or I was like, what
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: am I doing here? You know, there was a point
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: in my life where I would take every fill in
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: gig anybody offered me. I was like, hey, it's an
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: opportunity to get some reps in. And you know, I
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: did gigs in Seattle, Portland, Oregon, Denver where you you
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: know you're talking. It's not I don't I like doing it,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: But sometimes you get on there it's like, what am I,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: you know, breaking down the trailblazers here? This is it's
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: a little awkward, but that's like, that's not a terrible decision.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Like I'm trying to like maybe going to a movie
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and you're like, well, this is a you think maybe
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: the movie's gonna be Okay, it's like a terrible terrible
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: movies anything. Danny, can you make sense of the nonsensical.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Mistake you made that you realized while you were in it?
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he said, what's the dumbest series of choices that
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: you have made without really realizing it when maybe about
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: after thirty minutes or a few hours, you thought to yourself,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: how did I get myself in this?
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, okay. So when I was in my twenties,
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: I hosted nightclubs on the weekend Thursday through Saturday, and
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: one of the nights in downtown Ventura, I followed a
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: girl back to her place and it seemed like a really,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: really great idea at the time, but as I was
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: in her living room kicking it with her, I realized
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: just by looking around that she did not live alone
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: and her dude, her dude must have also been out
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: with his lie friends, because he showed up. Oh oh,
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: he quite the scene. He had a couple of his
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: friends with him. Yeah, that didn't end smoothly, but I
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: realized it was a bad situation as I was in it.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was that. And then that one time he
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: went to ditties and that was a little odd.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: But now I can honestly say I didn't like that guy,
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: even when I was doing that format back in the day.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: We interviewed him. We interviewed him on our radio station
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: a couple of times on my morning show, and he
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: was a dick. Like off the air, he was okay
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: on the air, but off the air he was just
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: really short with you and just kind of like a dick. Yeah,
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: And so I didn't like that guy. I got bad
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: vibes from him right away. So when I met his
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: record company in person. I didn't really get along with him,
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: and he is one of those dudes. You've heard it
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: now from people saying that when they were around him,
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: they got like a bad vibe from him.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, there's a lot of people in sports like that,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: where they're they present themselves one way when the cameras
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: are on they're doing interviews, and then privately they're complete douchebags.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: And just he was like that. And I hate to
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: say it, but jay Z it was also like that,
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: is that right?
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Seen it? That's it's the old cliche about Hollywood entertainment
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: anything like that. You just you got the public and
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: then there's the private persona. I remember covering the NBA
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: there was a guy at one point, this is one
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: of the big stars in the nineties, and.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: He was.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Beloved, had commercials, the whole thing, and then but privately
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: was just a total total dickhead. I mean, it's just
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to say it, but uh, and
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I witnessed it, and but people in the public they don't.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: He's one of these things you fight this like we
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: get a little glimpse standing because we get to be
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: kind of behind the curtain a little bit and see
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: a little bit how they make the hot dogs. But
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the rank and file don't see that. And so then
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: you said, you bring something up like that and you're
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: the bad guy. You're like, oh, you're the bad guy.

• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Fox Football scout, one of the great talk show hosts
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: in the history of Fox Sports Radio, who was on
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns coaching staff with a guy named Bill
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Belichick and Nick Saban was a scout for that Browns
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: team and had quite the rolodex Chris Landry. I did
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: show with him on Saturdays during football season for a
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: couple of years, And that was so long ago. Aaron
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Rodgers was at cal Berkeley and Roger Rodgers would pop
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: on our show. And also we had this young coach
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: at the University of Utah named Urban Meyer who popped
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: on Semi Regie because they were friends with Mandy. Anyway,
• 17:40

• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Bathtown roofs store.

• 17:50
  Speaker 1: when Shack was there, Dale Brown, hired by Fox Sports
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Radio to cover the NCAA tournament. I did shows with
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Dale Brown. One of the nicest human beings I've ever met.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Great guy, not really that into basketball at that point
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: in his life. He was kind of over it, even
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: though he got hired to commentate on basketball, but it
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: was it was fun.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Anyway.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Andy's get to the point, please, and he says, hey, Ben,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: one of our senators this week said people who eat
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: imported radioactive shrimp will turn into an alien, or at
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: the very least cause them. It'll cause them to grow
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: an extra ear. Andy says, are you guys.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Will you grow eight nine feet and have big eyes?
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: There's like an a fool person and it has big
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: guys that's looking at us. He says, are you guys worried? Well,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: I don't have to worry Andy, I don't eat trimp. Danny,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: you're concerned about eating radioactive shrimp that will turn you
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: into an alien? Is this something that.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: You stay up because steam food is so freaking expensive.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: I don't get to eat it very often.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I don't eat it because I don't
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: really like it. But even if I did, I eat
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: like once a year. I've talked about this like I
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: eat beer battered fish once a year. That's about it.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: And so really good shrimp and really good lobster that's
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: just like bacon. It's holiday food.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I gotta tell Andy, though, I did love that that guy.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: I guess John Kennedy, the senator from Louisiana. So apparently
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: he's trying to protect the fishing industry of Louisiana and
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of seafood that's being imported. So that's
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: why he went on that rant. The fact that it
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: made no sense at all, it's it's so stupid anyway.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Jim from Michigan writes in he says, hey, Ben and Danny,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I like that. He says, just Michigan, you know, God
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: forbid you say the actual city. He says, man break
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Man broke broke broke dance. He was break dancing, Jim says,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: during a town hall meeting to protest. I saw this
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: property tax. I guess this happened in New Jersey. Ye,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: this appears to be Danny, a middle aged man. Is
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: that accurate? Would that be a?
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Oh? That's accurate? He doesn't die? Is here? You could
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: tell this guy how he looks like he's in his
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: mid to late fifties.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right?
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: So he was great dancing days in the eighties. Sure, sure,
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: And so that's when he learned to get down to
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: planet rock and he was showing off those moves to
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: everybody there in the town hall. Ye.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Jim wanted to know if we've ever been to a
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: town hall like city council meeting.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: I have not.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Have you, Danny, been to a city council meeting in
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: your local?
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: No. One of our AM radio stations asked to me
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: and morning show co host to attend something that had
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: to do with like a concert venue in our city,
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: and they wanted us to go over this town hall
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: meeting about it because it had to do with our format.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: And we pretended like we were going to do it
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: because our general manager asked us to go, but we
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: played hooky. We didn't really go attend because who wants
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: to go to one of those boring frickin' things? And
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: what really happens that changes anything?
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, nothing changes, Although I have seen some really hilarious videos.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: There's some comedians that was popular during COVID, remember.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they'll go to the because anybody can speak
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: at these things. You just get like two minutes to
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: speak in city council so you can do a stand
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: up comedy routine. Yeah, the guy out of Texas? Is
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: that the gay you're talking about? The guy? I think
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: we're talking about the same guy. He was doing like cosplay.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: He was pretending to be like these wackadoodles, like real
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: extreme political positions, so that I have not to answer
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: your question, Jim neither has. Danny Mario from the Free
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: State of New Hampshire rites and he says, hey, Ben,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: now that you're a YouTuber, are you planning on copying
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: the Chinese YouTuber and taking care of Moxie? He sends
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: me a story here, Danny, I guess this is from
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: the other day. A Chinese YouTuber corn to Mario has
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: gone viral for building an entire human world for his
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: pet cats, including a subway. He says, would you do
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: this for Moxie to get followers? Well, I would do
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: pretty much anything to get followers, I guess, but not
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: a builder. And Moxie's the kind of an animal that
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: just wants to lay down in one place, just wants
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: a comfortable place to lay down, does not need to
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: go anywhere, does not like movement, unnecessary movement. Maxi's not
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: a fan of so no, I don't need to do that, Mario.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: That is pretty wild the stuff people do for YouTube.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: My god, it must be making some serious catch. I
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: wonder how many subscribers this guy has. And I'm not
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: familiar with Chinese YouTube. Do they even have YouTube in China?
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: I thought they had their own internet thing? Do they
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: use YouTube in China?
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Maybe they must know that YouTube football game they kept
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: saying international international.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, that was who.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: But I was confused because I was watching it on
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: regular TV. Yeah I don't I wasn't even watching it
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: on YouTube.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: No, that's right, Well yeah in LA and uh what
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Kansas City was on regular regular TV?
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Okay that's why? Yeah, yeah, because I'm not a Chargers fan,
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: So screw that but but at least they helped clear
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: the path for the Raiders to win the AFC West.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: The Raiders open it up, helped that helped out.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: And by the way Herbert slid at the end of
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: that game, we could start calling him hemorrhoid Herbert.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: By that postgame interview by Herbert, I still, oh my god.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: You might have heard me ran about that a little
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: bit yesterday. Man, geez all right. Next up on the mailbag,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: we've got Daniel from Rivers writes in as I say,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Ben and Danny, he says, you guys, go out and
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: about Have you ever found anything like this? He sends
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: a story, says, this is from the Czech Republic, a
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: horde of medieval silver coins discovered by a woman who
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: was out on a walk. A woman was walking in
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not even going to try to pronounce this region
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: of the Czech Republic. She accidentally came across a ceramic pot.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Although the pot itself was mostly broken, the contents were
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: still there and it had over two thousand silver coins,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: which are known as dinari. The stash is believed we
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: around nine hundred years old. Brown, have you ever found
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: nine hundred year old coins? Danny walking around, no neither
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: of I. How does that happen? Likew what does something
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: layout for nine hundred It must I'm gonna assume the
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: position that somebody didn't just drop it outside and the
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: woman found it, that it's been there for nine hundred years?
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: How does something just that blows my mind? With the
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: weather and the world and the whole the whole thing
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: a jig and all that, and.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: That is was like locked in a chest and then
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: a sandstorm buried it fifty feet.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: That's wild, nine hundred years old, like mad, thats just
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: something we left behind. We're long gone. That's oh my god,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: that's ridiculous. So that's nine that's more than nine lifetimes.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: And so see what is the average life seventy years?
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Maybe?
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know what do you think the average lifespan is?
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: Let's see here, like, yeah, I think seventy eight? Oh
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: is it? Oh? Good? Okay, good, I'll go see. I
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: think it's going up.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: We'll go seventy eight and then let's see here, so
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: seventy eight and then times we'll do twelve. Yeah, it's
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: like twelve life, twelve lifespans, a little less than twelve lifespans.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Oh what I gave you was for females. For men,
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: it's seventy years. That's seventy point eight years for men.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: Oh man, I got a Yeah, women outlive us by
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: over six years. Damn watches.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: That's not right.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: So least they run everything while we're alive, and then
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: they continue to run things after we die.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. So that would be then,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: oh man, so that's more than this, so seventy point so.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: The average between the two species seventy three point four years.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: All right, yeah, so it's a it's whatever. I'm close.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: You know, they said there would be no math. That
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: was math. But Daniel, thank you for that. That's a
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: good story. I'd love to know, like, how does that happen?
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Is it just stuff all over the Czech Republic from
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: this back in the medieval times, just laying around out there.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Well, you tell us you live there, according to your VPN.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's right. Don't tell Alf that. Don't do not
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: tell Alf that. Alex from Hawaii writes in this is
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: a Loha, gentleman. Good news for both of you if
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: you don't like your boss. And then he said that
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: a judge ruled this week that you can call your
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: boss a I'm going to say this because it's a
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: news story, Danny, you can call your boss a dickhead,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: and that is not enough to get you fired. That
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: is not enough to get you fired. According to a
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: story out of the United Kingdom, a supervisor was awarded
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: over forty dollars after a court ruled she was wrongly
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: canned for labeling her boss a d head. Although her
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: comments are inappropriate and regrettable, they did not justify summary
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: dismissal cleared another judge, female judge, So, uh, there you
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: there you go. As I was, it was explained to me, Danny,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: by someone in management at a radio station I worked
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: four years ago, that you can do whatever you want
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: and they're gonna if they want to get rid of you,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: they will get They will find a reason to get
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: rid of you, whether it's for you know, whether it's
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: this that, or they're not gonna They know the rules
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: and they know what they can get sued for and
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: what they're not gonna get sued for. So that's that's
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: essentially what I.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: Was was told.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: So and if they want they want to get rid
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: of they get rid of you. I think that's I mean,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: we have a few more, but we'll put the baby
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: to bed. I think that's fair enough.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I had one quick announcement I wanted.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: All right, Danny G has a big announcement here. We'd
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: like to learn all the podcast listeners. Here we go
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: big announced. I'm sitting down.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: They're calling this chicken row in Thousand Oaks, California, because
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: there's already a Chick fil A, a wing stop, an
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: Angry Chicks, a Zanku Chicken, an Alpoyo Loco. But what's
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: the one thing they are missing there? What would that
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: be Danny raising canes, which they just announced they are
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: bringing to a town that's right next to me, on
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: the border of my town.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: That's trouble. That's dangerous, Danny. That is dangerous.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: That is it really is, because right now, the closest
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: Raising Canes to me, it's like a half hour drive.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: And I'm not going to go a half hour for
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: box meal, but now it's going to be a ten
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: minute drive away.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: And those late night when you're hungry late at night
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: and they're open till three in the morning on the
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: weekends and you want a fried chicken snack late at night,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you end up at raising Canes.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: You know, there's no raising canes in the town I live,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: and I have to go to the next town over.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: But yet an hour a half hour drive is a
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: pretty long. That's an hour because a half hour theyre
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: a half hour backs.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: That's a long, not to mention the time you spend
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: there getting food.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's congratulates. That's always a big part of a
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: person's life when they get a raising canes.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: That's a big day.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: It is absolutely a big day.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: Almost Trump's our first Sunday, our first NFL Sunday early game.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: Harold leads the Raiders into New England. I think the
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: Raiders defense is going to have so many holes. Patriots
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: outscore the Raiders.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I actually took on Benny versus the Penny, which
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: there's still time to listen to. It's on YouTube Benny Vspenny,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Benny Vspenny, if you want to check that out.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: I watched it.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well you can watch it on the YouTube. And
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: it's going to get better. The production value is going
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: to get better. It's a work in progress, but someday
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: we'll look back at this and laugh about how crappy
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: it looks, but it'll look better. It'll look better. But
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: I did pick the Raiders in that game. I just
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: don't trust Drake Man. This is like one of the
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: rare times Gino Smith actually is the better quarterback in
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: this game. And I normally like Mike Rabel teams, betting
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: on Mike teams and all that, but I just I
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: think the Raiders are the right side here, and they
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: don't have a lot on defense. They clearly don't have
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: a lot at wide receiver. Danny is the reason. That's
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: a that's a double body blow for the Raiders. They
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: went out and signed to Mary Cooper and then he
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: quit after nine days.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: Did you hear the Raider insiders? Though? When Amari Cooper
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: saw the depth chart, he was like a Samoudi because
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: that Dante Thornton junior king from Tennessee six', five nobody's
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: been as fasts and big as him Since. Megatron he
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: had such a good camp in such a good preseason
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: that he was ahead of A Mari cooper on the depth.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Chart And mary's, Like i'm not going to sit on the.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: Bench he's he's a powder you know? Him?
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Well, Yeah but it's like The raiders signed him because
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: they they that's a confession by The raiders, though that
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: they didn't have. Enough So i'm skeptical of that report
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: because you wouldn't bring A Mariy cooper in if you
