- 1:23Speaker 3: I will be in attendance. My ass feels so good
- 1:26Speaker 3: right now. How dare you in the hood in Inglewood?
- 1:32Speaker 3: I'll be checking out a team you do not like, Danny,
- 1:34Speaker 3: the Chargers, and another team you do not like, the Broncos,
- 1:39Speaker 3: will be plant.
- 1:40Speaker 1: I will be a Broncos fan today.
- 1:42Speaker 3: Okay, Well, the Chargers are feeling very good about themselves
- 1:46Speaker 3: at this point after the two and one start, with
- 1:48Speaker 3: the win over two divisional opponents, so they can start
- 1:51Speaker 3: the year three and oh against the division It's a
- 1:53Speaker 3: pretty good spot to be in. And I hope to
- 1:56Speaker 3: catch up with our old colleague part of the Fox
- 1:59Speaker 3: Sports Rate Alumni Association, the great Eddie Garcia, who.
- 2:03Speaker 1: Is going to be out at that game.
- 2:05Speaker 3: I have been in contact with Edmund over the weekend
- 2:09Speaker 3: and hopefully I'll be able to catch up with him.
- 2:11Speaker 1: But he's he's a super fan. Well, his wife's a.
- 2:14Speaker 3: Super fanah yikes.
- 2:16Speaker 1: He's a big fan of the Charger, so they he's
- 2:19Speaker 1: a super fan by marriage, but that still makes him
- 2:22Speaker 1: a super fan.
- 2:23Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, Like so they have one parking lot
- 2:26Speaker 3: I know you've been out to Sofar a little bit.
- 2:27Speaker 3: Data have one parking lot that is all tailgating, and
- 2:32Speaker 3: it's it's not as good as.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Arrowhead, obviously, but it's pretty cool.
- 2:37Speaker 3: And Eddie is out there and there's just everyone's got
- 2:40Speaker 3: griddles everywhere, like you know, normal.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Tailgate, and it's pretty pretty cool.
- 2:44Speaker 3: So I'm not sure whether I'll find Eddie before the
- 2:47Speaker 3: game or once he enters the stadium. I'm not sure
- 2:49Speaker 3: about that, but at some point today I am planning
- 2:52Speaker 3: on running into Eddie and to see that game.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Well, you better find it before the game. That way
- 2:57Speaker 1: you can get some of that free barbecue. Yeah, that's
- 3:02Speaker 1: a good that's a good point.
- 3:03Speaker 3: But I've always sees that the dilemma is I'm gonna
- 3:06Speaker 3: get there pretty early. Once we get done with this,
- 3:09Speaker 3: I'm gonna head over to the to the stadium because
- 3:12Speaker 3: I do want to watch my Rams play the Eagles,
- 3:16Speaker 3: and I am gonna be a media freeloader today, so
- 3:19Speaker 3: they will have that on in the box, the press box,
- 3:23Speaker 3: so I'll probably want to watch if I get there
- 3:26Speaker 3: early enough to see that what's it in the box exactly.
- 3:29Speaker 3: I can also watch it on my laptop you know,
- 3:31Speaker 3: I can get it on one of those Russian websites,
- 3:34Speaker 3: probably on my laptop, so I could watch it that
- 3:36Speaker 3: way as well.
- 3:38Speaker 1: So be checking that out.
- 3:40Speaker 3: And on the other all the Cowboys they play when
- 3:44Speaker 3: the Chargers and Broncos are playing. So I'm gonna be
- 3:46Speaker 3: I'll be multitasking, Danny. I'll be watching what's in front
- 3:49Speaker 3: of me with the Broncos and the Chargers, and then
- 3:51Speaker 3: also some of these other late games that are are
- 3:55Speaker 3: going on. And then then tonight the Chiefs. What a
- 3:59Speaker 3: great match. Oh and two Chiefs and ow and two
- 4:01Speaker 3: Giants your Raiders. I know what a buzzkill that was
- 4:05Speaker 3: back on Monday night, Dandy. But the Raiders back at it.
- 4:07Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know, you hopefully can take away something
- 4:11Speaker 1: good when your team stinks it up. That defense there
- 4:15Speaker 1: in Vegas looks better than what I thought going into
- 4:17Speaker 1: the season. I thought that was gonna be their weakness,
- 4:20Speaker 1: not their O line in their production on offense. Hopefully,
- 4:24Speaker 1: hopefully the offense can step up and match the defense
- 4:27Speaker 1: this week. Well, Gino Smith is one of your favorites.
- 4:31Speaker 1: I know, well called you called them and I quote
- 4:36Speaker 1: a turkey. I'm not gonna lie, Danny, that was a
- 4:39Speaker 1: big cock. Yes, I believe I did, like all of
- 4:42Speaker 1: the turkey, but the gino will be he had that
- 4:45Speaker 1: was a total clunker the other night.
- 4:46Speaker 3: So you figure he's probably got three or four more
- 4:50Speaker 3: of those in him. But other than that, he'll be
- 4:53Speaker 3: average for five games, and there'll be a few games
- 4:55Speaker 3: where he does throw for four hundred yards or close
- 4:58Speaker 3: to it in three or four touchdown And so that's
- 5:01Speaker 3: the problem. Though, you got to win every one of
- 5:04Speaker 3: those other games where he's not horrific and writing the
- 5:07Speaker 3: vomit comet, there's no margin for error. Now, they did
- 5:11Speaker 3: beat the Patriots, which is a game. If you're the Raiders,
- 5:13Speaker 3: you're on the same level with the Patriots going into
- 5:15Speaker 3: the year.
- 5:16Speaker 1: You got to win that game. They did that, and
- 5:18Speaker 1: traveling all the way out East, they normally lose that game. Yeah,
- 5:22Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels was still their head coach, they would have
- 5:25Speaker 1: lost that game. Well, Josh McDaniels is a terrible, terrible
- 5:30Speaker 1: head coach. My god, don't give me. Yeah, don't get
- 5:33Speaker 1: me started on him. I mean, with Pete Carroll you
- 5:35Speaker 1: have a chance. But Ben, with that O line in tatters,
- 5:40Speaker 1: their best offensive lineman was out with a concussion. If
- 5:43Speaker 1: you've ever heard Powers Johnson talk, seems like he had
- 5:46Speaker 1: CTE when he was at Oregon. Maybe poor guy, but
- 5:50Speaker 1: he's a bruiser and he moves that line without their
- 5:52Speaker 1: anchor on that line. They stunk it up against the Chargers.
- 5:55Speaker 1: They got to get that offensive line fixed. You gotta
- 5:58Speaker 1: take advantage of having Ashton Genty back there, but you
- 6:01Speaker 1: know you can't have that bull rush back there in
- 6:03Speaker 1: the backfield before the running back even gets the ball
- 6:06Speaker 1: in his hands. Yeah.
- 6:08Speaker 3: Well, but some of us also on Genty, he did
- 6:11Speaker 3: not look very aggressive. You Yeah, I'm.
- 6:17Speaker 1: On pass protection. He looked lost most of the time.
- 6:20Speaker 3: Yeah, like he's waiting for the blue turf to take
- 6:24Speaker 3: on like central Eastern Washington or something like that.
- 6:27Speaker 1: But okay, with you were going to say Jaden Daniels,
- 6:31Speaker 1: I was I was a Jayden Daniels was out, So
- 6:32Speaker 1: you got Marcus Mariota.
- 6:34Speaker 3: Although, as you know gambling from a gambling standpoint, good
- 6:39Speaker 3: teams usually rally around a backup quarterback.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Yeah, and who usually has a coming out party against
- 6:46Speaker 1: the Raiders throughout their careers in the NFL. Oh, I
- 6:50Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe dudes like Baker Mayfield when the Rams
- 6:54Speaker 1: barely signed him and he hadn't even met everyone on
- 6:57Speaker 1: the Rams, and then he plays one of the games
- 6:59Speaker 1: of his life against the Raiders. If you're a Raiders fan,
- 7:02Speaker 1: you know you know the sorrow of watching backup quarterbacks
- 7:07Speaker 1: have the game of their life against your favorite team.
- 7:10Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't assume you're going to win that game
- 7:13Speaker 3: because Mario is a mediocre quarterback. The great thing about
- 7:17Speaker 3: Geno Smith is you could have him play like we said,
- 7:20Speaker 3: where he throws four touchdowns in four hundred yards, or
- 7:23Speaker 3: you could have him play where he passes for one
- 7:25Speaker 3: hundred and thirty yards.
- 7:27Speaker 1: And gives the football away with four turnovers. It's the
- 7:30Speaker 1: turkey experience. You don't know what you're getting. You might
- 7:33Speaker 1: get a fat turkey for Thanksgiving that's delicious, yell me.
- 7:37Speaker 1: Or you might get a skinny burn turkey that you
- 7:39Speaker 1: want to throw in the backyard.
- 7:44Speaker 3: Let me touch up your work today. It's like a pineapple.
- 7:46Speaker 3: You ever buy pineapples at the store. I never know
- 7:49Speaker 3: whether the pineapple is going to be delicious and juicy
- 7:52Speaker 3: or it's gonna be kind of like that, you know,
- 7:54Speaker 3: where it's not as good. You don't really know like
- 7:56Speaker 3: it's like, it's frustrating. You want the really good juicy pineapple.
- 8:01Speaker 3: It's soft and all right, we have mail bag. Dam
- 8:04Speaker 3: we have mail bag. Enough of that football time? What
- 8:05Speaker 3: is this a sports show?
- 8:06Speaker 1: Yeah? Deris? What do we work for Fox Sports or something?
- 8:10Speaker 1: What's wrong with us? Sorry? Moving on, let's get to
- 8:13Speaker 1: ohio Al. What do you say? It's mail bag? All right?
- 8:29Speaker 3: Thank you very much, ohio Al. And these are actual
- 8:32Speaker 3: letters by actual listeners. If you'd like to send a
- 8:34Speaker 3: message in and I do want to thank you guys,
- 8:37Speaker 3: Real fifth hour at gmail dot com. Real fifth hour
- 8:40Speaker 3: at gmail dot com, if you'd like to send a
- 8:42Speaker 3: message in. First one is from Scott, who is a regular.
- 8:45Speaker 3: He's in Florida. He says, Ben, the Gremlin attacks have
- 8:48Speaker 3: occurred enough during the past few weeks that maybe it's
- 8:52Speaker 3: time to consider having a set piece in the hopper
- 8:55Speaker 3: where the Rainer or coop just take over and run
- 8:58Speaker 3: with it for a few minutes. Have you all considered
- 9:01Speaker 3: this at all? Would that be disastrous or exhilarating? Or
- 9:06Speaker 3: maybe just open the phone lines and let it rip
- 9:08Speaker 3: with producer fingers on the bleep button. From your friend
- 9:12Speaker 3: Scott from Florida.
- 9:16Speaker 1: Yeah, we've had a few.
- 9:17Speaker 3: Gremlin attacks in recent weeks. Normally when the gremlins attack,
- 9:22Speaker 3: it's usually just a quick thing a few minutes and
- 9:24Speaker 3: then the gremlins go away and they eat something else
- 9:26Speaker 3: and that's it.
- 9:28Speaker 1: Oh. They even tried to attack one of our podcasts
- 9:30Speaker 1: last weekend.
- 9:32Speaker 3: Yeah, we did get some attack last weekend, which was
- 9:35Speaker 3: not good. So there's another I'm gonna do Old Guy
- 9:38Speaker 3: Radio Danny. Back in the day, we used technology that
- 9:43Speaker 3: was a hard line and was very reliable, and it
- 9:48Speaker 3: was all. It was very dependable. And now the connection
- 9:54Speaker 3: system that we use in the industry is a Wi
- 9:57Speaker 3: Fi based connection, and so we are dependent on the
- 10:01Speaker 3: Wi Fi gods, and if the Wi Fi gods are upset,
- 10:05Speaker 3: or if the Wi Fi gods get into a street
- 10:08Speaker 3: fight with the gremlins, then we are in some trouble.
- 10:13Speaker 3: So that's the way it is. But I just have
- 10:16Speaker 3: to deal with it because that's the setup that we have.
- 10:19Speaker 3: And just got a roll with the punches and all that,
- 10:22Speaker 3: and I'm supposed to get Scott a backup. There's a
- 10:26Speaker 3: way you can do a backup broadcast line.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Which is also Internet based, but.
- 10:32Speaker 3: It is something that I'm supposed to have that I
- 10:35Speaker 3: don't have. There's a couple of pieces of equipment, the
- 10:38Speaker 3: thing of my jigs and the watching mccallus that I
- 10:40Speaker 3: don't have that I need, and I'm waiting to get
- 10:44Speaker 3: those and then we should be okay. Yeah, Loraina and
- 10:49Speaker 3: Coop could take over. It's a little difficult. We love Loraina,
- 10:52Speaker 3: she's not not a sports fan, and Coop doesn't really
- 10:57Speaker 3: pay much attention during the day, so it's a little
- 10:59Speaker 3: difficult to that off. But I mean they could take calls.
- 11:01Speaker 3: I guess they could futs around with that.
- 11:05Speaker 1: Charles.
- 11:06Speaker 3: Next up, Charles B in San Bernardino writes, and he says, Hey,
- 11:10Speaker 3: Big Ben and Danny G I started listening to you
- 11:13Speaker 3: back in twenty oh one on Fox Sports Radio when
- 11:17Speaker 3: I was a brand new security guard, just looking for
- 11:19Speaker 3: something to kill the long overnight hours, back when you
- 11:22Speaker 3: were only on weekends.
- 11:24Speaker 1: He says.
- 11:24Speaker 3: Fast forward to twenty twenty five, and unfortunately I am
- 11:28Speaker 3: still in security, but I just rediscovered your show after
- 11:32Speaker 3: a long hiatus. Where have you been, Charles, what have
- 11:34Speaker 3: you been listening to?
- 11:35Speaker 1: He says?
- 11:35Speaker 3: I dip back in maybe five or six years ago
- 11:39Speaker 3: when Eddie Garcia was still doing updates but fell off
- 11:42Speaker 3: because my sports fandom faded for a while.
- 11:45Speaker 1: I'm glad I'm back now, He says. Here's my question.
- 11:49Speaker 3: If you had to completely give up sports talk tomorrow
- 11:52Speaker 3: and host a daily show about anything else, what subject
- 11:57Speaker 3: do you think you could keep interesting for four hours
- 12:02Speaker 3: every single night. That is from from Charles. So I
- 12:08Speaker 3: couldn't talk about sports.
- 12:09Speaker 1: Anymore, what would I What would I do?
- 12:14Speaker 3: Yeah? So I don't think I would do. The easy
- 12:17Speaker 3: thing would be saying, hey, just do politics, But I don't.
- 12:20Speaker 3: The way politics are these days, I don't really feel
- 12:23Speaker 3: like I need to go that direction.
- 12:26Speaker 1: I could see you doing a cooking show.
- 12:28Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, remember that line from the famous PBS chef
- 12:32Speaker 3: Julia Child. She said that anything and everything can have
- 12:37Speaker 3: drama if done right, even a pancake. So yeah, I
- 12:40Speaker 3: could do a cooking show. Yeah yeah, why not?
- 12:43Speaker 1: Yeah? I would be entertaining.
- 12:45Speaker 3: And I need to take down who's that guy with
- 12:47Speaker 3: the spikey hair that I talked about that's in every
- 12:49Speaker 3: restaurant every when?
- 12:51Speaker 1: What's the guy's name? You know? You know what would
- 12:53Speaker 1: be a fun spin is you go to a mall
- 12:55Speaker 1: or militia member's house, different member of the Malicious House
- 12:59Speaker 1: every week, and you cook something for them in their kitchen.
- 13:06Speaker 1: It's a great idea. I can go.
- 13:07Speaker 3: I can start out. We had Dick and Dayton call
- 13:09Speaker 3: up from his retirement home in Ohio and Dayton Ohio.
- 13:14Speaker 3: I could go to Dayton and I can hang out
- 13:16Speaker 3: with all the old folks, and you could just play
- 13:20Speaker 3: music and.
- 13:21Speaker 1: Hang out having randall. Some of your stops would be
- 13:23Speaker 1: at shelters.
- 13:25Speaker 3: Yes, I'd be at hostels. I'd be at prisons. It'd
- 13:29Speaker 3: be like Johnny Cash, what would you do?
- 13:37Speaker 1: Don't you go back to music or something?
- 13:39Speaker 3: Right?
- 13:40Speaker 1: Yeah, I could do that, But I think I would
- 13:42Speaker 1: go back to Tinderoni tips, Oh yeah, I love advice,
- 13:46Speaker 1: that kind of thing.
- 13:47Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 13:47Speaker 1: I could just do relationship talk and create unnecessary drama
- 13:51Speaker 1: with my wife. That way, I have things to talk
- 13:53Speaker 1: about and a breakup to share with everyone during the podcast. Oh,
- 13:59Speaker 1: be good content for the show. Yeah. And then I
- 14:01Speaker 1: could just bang all these girls on Tinder and talk
- 14:04Speaker 1: about and talk about each on the podcast. You do
- 14:08Speaker 1: a breakdown, yeah, A, B and C. It doesn't say although,
- 14:12Speaker 1: now thinking about that for a second, that doesn't sound fun.
- 14:14Speaker 1: That sounds like what used to take place back in
- 14:17Speaker 1: the day where I had to go see a doctor
- 14:19Speaker 1: and make sure everything was good. Yeah, I'm a doctor.
- 14:23Speaker 1: I get some penicillins stuff like much much better being
- 14:27Speaker 1: with Brenda.
- 14:28Speaker 3: Absolutely. Well, thank you, Charles. I'm glad that you have listened,
- 14:32Speaker 3: and I love that.
- 14:33Speaker 1: He says.
- 14:34Speaker 3: I started listening when I was a brand new security guard,
- 14:36Speaker 3: and unfortunately, twenty five years later, I'm still a security guard. Well,
- 14:40Speaker 3: how do I feel, Charles, You were listening twenty five
- 14:43Speaker 3: years ago and I was doing overnight talk radio, and
- 14:46Speaker 3: twenty five years later, I'm.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Still doing overnight talk anyway, Thank you, Charles.
- 14:49Speaker 3: Larry from Vegas writes in He says, greetings, gentlemen, and
- 14:55Speaker 3: Bennett was nice to meet you at the mallor meet
- 14:57Speaker 3: and greet. Thank you for coming to Vegas the last
- 14:59Speaker 3: couple of years. Did not go to the first one,
- 15:01Speaker 3: but I am impressed how you were hanging out with
- 15:04Speaker 3: your listeners like a normal person compared to Colin Callin Coward. Well,
- 15:12Speaker 3: very kind of you, Larry, and I want to thank management.
- 15:15Speaker 1: Larry.
- 15:16Speaker 3: She asked a different question here, but I want I'll
- 15:18Speaker 3: stop right there. I want to thank management and Danny,
- 15:20Speaker 3: I think you feel the same way. The bosses make
- 15:23Speaker 3: sure that we're very relatable to the common man, and
- 15:26Speaker 3: they do that every two weeks when we get paid.
- 15:28Speaker 3: They want us, you know, Cowhard gets paid and it
- 15:31Speaker 3: ends up in the like the Wall Street Journal, right,
- 15:35Speaker 3: or when he sells a house and moves to Chicago,
- 15:38Speaker 3: it's the La Times real estate page. When we do it,
- 15:42Speaker 3: nobody even knows. And because we're relatable, Danny, we're relatable,
- 15:46Speaker 3: and that's very important to be relatable. And Larry appreciates
- 15:49Speaker 3: that in Vegas, he does so. Anyway, he says, on
- 15:54Speaker 3: to the question, is.
- 15:56Speaker 1: That your way of saying we have poor people problems? Well,
- 16:00Speaker 1: more money, more problems. We don't have more problems, Danny.
- 16:03Speaker 1: We have less money, less problems, but we definitely have problems.
- 16:07Speaker 1: We definitely have problems. Money can't buy you love, but
- 16:09Speaker 1: it can pay your bills.
- 16:11Speaker 3: Yeah, it can get you nice vacations and things like that.
- 16:15Speaker 3: And Learry says, I saw this online the other day
- 16:20Speaker 3: and I thought, out of you and Danny, it sounds
- 16:25Speaker 3: like something you guys would do. And then he sent
- 16:27Speaker 3: me a story here from some website. I guess this
- 16:31Speaker 3: is a Las Vegas website. Anyways, it says pocket packing
- 16:37Speaker 3: is on the rise as businesses feel the pinch, and
- 16:42Speaker 3: it's the story here. Let me give you the bullet points.
- 16:46Speaker 3: It says, an inflation squeeze walle as inflation squeeze wallets go,
- 16:52Speaker 3: some diners have been squeezing a little too much. And
- 16:56Speaker 3: then it says restaurants are starting to complain because guests
- 17:00Speaker 3: are pocket packing, and that means taking excessive amounts of
- 17:07Speaker 3: plastic utensils, straws, napkins and condiments, sugar and ketchup packets,
- 17:13Speaker 3: and restaurants are starting to.
- 17:14Speaker 1: Fuel the pinch. Yes, the story here.
- 17:18Speaker 3: So well, I was ahead of my time on this, Danny.
- 17:22Speaker 3: When I was a bachelor, I didn't cook. I ate
- 17:26Speaker 3: out all the time, mostly fast food. I had my rotation.
- 17:30Speaker 3: I had my rotation. I had my Windy's, Carl's Junior
- 17:34Speaker 3: out here, I had McDonald's Del Taco Ha. RB's was
- 17:39Speaker 3: in my rotation. That was back when people used to
- 17:41Speaker 3: eat at Arby's, and I would I would take large amounts, Danny,
- 17:47Speaker 3: large amounts of ketchup packets and knives and forks and
- 17:52Speaker 3: all that stuff.
- 17:53Speaker 1: So well, let's be real, it's the stuff our grandparents
- 17:56Speaker 1: taught us. We never needed to buy on our own,
- 18:00Speaker 1: because you can get packs of saltines, you can get
- 18:02Speaker 1: ketchup salt pepper, you could get napkins and ask the
- 18:07Speaker 1: place for paper plates. Always ask him do you have plates?
- 18:11Speaker 1: Because nobody needs to be piling up dishes in their
- 18:14Speaker 1: sink right When you have plates, you can throw away. Now.
- 18:17Speaker 1: It's funny this comes up because one Rich Davis. It's
- 18:21Speaker 1: a long running joke on Coveno and Rich that he
- 18:23Speaker 1: steals dozens and dozens of forks from Chipotle anytime he
- 18:28Speaker 1: goes in there. And he justifies it by saying, Hey,
- 18:31Speaker 1: if they're going to charge me forty dollars for two burritos,
- 18:34Speaker 1: I'm taking as many forks as I want. I agree
- 18:38Speaker 1: with I agree with that poside, yeah, yeah, And Coveno's
- 18:41Speaker 1: reply to that is always, well, you're the reason why
- 18:44Speaker 1: two burritos are forty dollars. So they've argued about that.
- 18:48Speaker 1: But Brenda sent me something just a couple of days ago,
- 18:51Speaker 1: and I forwarded it to you. It's funny this comes up.
- 18:53Speaker 1: It's a it's a meme. It says, I wouldn't wish
- 18:57Speaker 1: this upon my worst enemy and it's a pictures in
- 19:00Speaker 1: a Chipotle somebody accidentally dropped their Chipotle bull and the
- 19:05Speaker 1: bag exploded, and what came out of the bag besides
- 19:08Speaker 1: the Chipotle bull all over the ass.
- 19:11Speaker 3: Whole Let's say one, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
- 19:14Speaker 3: nine ten.
- 19:15Speaker 1: That looks like about I don't think it does you
- 19:17Speaker 1: could count all those? Oh I don't think I can.
- 19:19Speaker 1: That's does that almost looks like thirty forks on the ground. Yeah,
- 19:24Speaker 1: those black plastic Chipotle Yeah, so there's uh and then
- 19:28Speaker 1: right underneath it. In the comments, someone said that's karma
- 19:32Speaker 1: for trying to walk out with thirty six forks.
- 19:36Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, No, I get the argument, well, that's why
- 19:41Speaker 3: the prices go up on all that stuff. But I
- 19:44Speaker 3: did that twenty years ago when I was a single guy.
- 19:47Speaker 3: If you were to come over to my house, I
- 19:48Speaker 3: had one drawer in my apartment when I lived in
- 19:51Speaker 3: Hollywood that was there was nothing but ketchup packs.
- 19:55Speaker 1: It was like nothing but ketchup packs.
- 19:57Speaker 3: I had another drawer that was sauces fat like those
- 19:59Speaker 3: saw from the restaurants.
- 20:01Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I had.
- 20:02Speaker 3: I had the plastic utensil thing, and I was because
- 20:05Speaker 3: I didn't do the dishes, and I didn't cook, and
- 20:08Speaker 3: I ate out all the time. And in my car
- 20:10Speaker 3: right now, even to this day, I don't have any
- 20:13Speaker 3: clean X or anything in the car. But I have
- 20:15Speaker 3: if you want raising canes napkins, I have raising cane's
- 20:18Speaker 3: napkins if you If anything spills, I'll use those. And
- 20:22Speaker 3: I have some straws. My wife likes to go to Starbucks.
- 20:25Speaker 3: I'll always grab some extra straws just in case, not
- 20:28Speaker 3: that I even really use them, just in case, maybe
- 20:30Speaker 3: maybe I need a straw.
- 20:31Speaker 1: See and Spot. They both yell at Rich and tell
- 20:35Speaker 1: them it's stealing. But I turned my mic on and
- 20:38Speaker 1: I said, how can it be stealing when those items
- 20:40Speaker 1: aren't for sale?
- 20:41Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, like it's not stealing. And the prices go up.
- 20:47Speaker 3: They the prices will be what they are based on
- 20:50Speaker 3: what they can get people to pay for.
- 20:52Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean. It's the price which
- 20:55Speaker 1: as would be the same right now through the roof,
- 20:57Speaker 1: whether or not people are taking too many forks, exactly exactly.
- 21:02Speaker 1: And it's one of these things.
- 21:04Speaker 3: When I go to a restaurant that charges extra for sauce,
- 21:07Speaker 3: that's a red flag to me.
- 21:09Speaker 1: You know what?
- 21:09Speaker 3: I'm saying that's a red flag, like that'd be an
- 21:12Speaker 3: extra dollar for that sauce. Really an extra dollar for
- 21:15Speaker 3: that sauce, A little container of sauce. That's I don't
- 21:18Speaker 3: like that at all. But anyway, Larry, thank you for that.
- 21:21Speaker 3: I appreciate it, and nice meeting you in Vegas. Hopefully
- 21:26Speaker 3: we'll be back next year. A guy slug the hostess
- 21:29Speaker 3: with the Moses who's taking care of us the last
- 21:30Speaker 3: couple of years. Ferg Dog and Fullerton writes into the
- 21:33Speaker 3: mail bag and he says, well, what's up Ben and
- 21:36Speaker 3: Danny G.
- 21:37Speaker 1: What's been the biggest challenge Ben?
- 21:39Speaker 3: Getting Benny versus the Penny up and running on YouTube
- 21:42Speaker 3: without the enormous budget of the TV show. He says,
- 21:46Speaker 3: I imagine Tom Looney misses bossing around all his assistants.
- 21:50Speaker 3: And he says, Danny G, do you ever find daycare?
- 21:53Speaker 3: If not, why not just bring your kid to Fox
- 21:56Speaker 3: Sports Radio with you. I'm sure there are some loose
- 21:59Speaker 3: wires he can chuan himself entertainment.
- 22:06Speaker 1: There are some dead and alive cockroaches on the carpet
- 22:11Speaker 1: that he can definitely play with, like the little matchbox cars.
- 22:15Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he could have a he'd have a great day.
- 22:17Speaker 3: And there's some bats flying around every once in a while,
- 22:20Speaker 3: he can play with those.
- 22:21Speaker 1: There's a raccoon in the air conditioning. He could stick
- 22:24Speaker 1: his fingers in the cockroach traps. Oh yeah, and why not?
- 22:28Speaker 1: That would be great.
- 22:29Speaker 3: There have been talk show hosts I will not name
- 22:31Speaker 3: the guilty, but there have been talk shosts that would
- 22:33Speaker 3: bring their kids and they would run through. We had
- 22:35Speaker 3: an update guy who used to be on TV and
- 22:38Speaker 3: he couldn't get it. He couldn't get a babysitter on
- 22:40Speaker 3: the weekend, so he brought his daughter, his sweet little daughter,
- 22:43Speaker 3: who would run through the building.
- 22:45Speaker 1: She had a great You have that hallway that goes
- 22:48Speaker 1: oh yeah, oh yeah, and oh yeah. Then when I
- 22:50Speaker 1: was a program director, I had a midday girl who
- 22:54Speaker 1: would bring her little toddler into the studio with her
- 22:58Speaker 1: a lot. And her excuse was, oh, the babysitter had
- 23:01Speaker 1: to cancel today. Oh I was running late. I didn't
- 23:04Speaker 1: have time to take her to the babysitter. So she
- 23:07Speaker 1: brought this kid in the main studio with her all
- 23:09Speaker 1: the time. And there were some live breaks on my
- 23:12Speaker 1: fifty thousand watt FM radio station where you could hear
- 23:15Speaker 1: the kid crying in the background while she was talking.
- 23:20Speaker 1: That's tough. That's a little tough. Yeah, And you know,
- 23:24Speaker 1: as the boss, what could I really do about that
- 23:27Speaker 1: without looking like an a hole?
- 23:29Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's being caught between the devil and the
- 23:32Speaker 3: deep bluecy is what that is.
- 23:34Speaker 1: That's not not.
- 23:35Speaker 3: A great situation as far as the first part of
- 23:38Speaker 3: that for Dog. The biggest challenge of Benny Versus the
- 23:42Speaker 3: Penny is starting from ground zero here and trying to
- 23:46Speaker 3: let people know about Benny versus the Benny right to
- 23:50Speaker 3: because most people just they listen to what they listen to,
- 23:54Speaker 3: they watch what they watch, and to get people to change. Also,
- 23:57Speaker 3: a lot of my core p one people are a
- 23:59Speaker 3: little older, they're not YouTube people, So to try to
- 24:03Speaker 3: get them to go on YouTube, to try to convince them,
- 24:06Speaker 3: how to find the thing, how to subscribe, how to
- 24:08Speaker 3: fus it around. That's been a big challenge. And it
- 24:11Speaker 3: just takes time to grow an audience.
- 24:12Speaker 1: And I'm not going to the.
- 24:14Speaker 3: Rant I did that last weekend about my position on
- 24:17Speaker 3: social media and how bogus a lot of these numbers are.
- 24:20Speaker 1: But it's just something where you.
- 24:22Speaker 3: Have to do it week by week and let people
- 24:24Speaker 3: know about it and then slowly and surely they'll trickle
- 24:28Speaker 3: in and watch the show. And as far as like
- 24:30Speaker 3: the production stuff, it's not going to be a TV show.
- 24:32Speaker 1: We don't have on.
- 24:33Speaker 3: Beny Versus The Penny, we had a cast of probably
- 24:36Speaker 3: twenty people that worked on the show. It was a
- 24:39Speaker 3: national NBC TV show. We have me and Looney on
- 24:44Speaker 3: this show.
- 24:44Speaker 1: That's it.
- 24:45Speaker 3: We don't have it been well, so it's as good
- 24:48Speaker 3: as it's going to be. And we both one thing
- 24:50Speaker 3: about Looney. We take pride in it and we're going
- 24:52Speaker 3: to work on it and get it even better than
- 24:54Speaker 3: it is right now. We'll look back at this year's
- 24:55Speaker 3: from now and say, boy, that show sucked, but it'll
- 24:58Speaker 3: be better.
- 24:58Speaker 1: And so it's great.
- 25:00Speaker 3: And next up Alf from the Chase Suite Hotel Brea
- 25:04Speaker 3: Slash Fullerton. That must be a shot at Ferkudog. Alf says,
- 25:10Speaker 3: happy week three of the NFL seasons. Gentlemen, No question
- 25:12Speaker 3: this week, just a statement based on your freeloading house
- 25:16Speaker 3: guests from last week. As a well known freeloader, Alf says,
- 25:21Speaker 3: I would never ever abuse your generosity, the fact that
- 25:25Speaker 3: you would go out of your way to invite me
- 25:28Speaker 3: to the Ugly Sweater party and fly me out. I
- 25:31Speaker 3: wouldn't expect you to also put me up in the
- 25:34Speaker 3: guest suite at the Maler Mansion, even though missus Mallard
- 25:38Speaker 3: would insist if I can't get a reservation in Fullerton,
- 25:42Speaker 3: I'm sure Fergie's mom.
- 25:44Speaker 1: Would make room for me.
- 25:46Speaker 3: Well, alf I believe Ferg Dog has bunk beds, so
- 25:50Speaker 3: you could sleep on the top bunk. I think Ferg
- 25:52Speaker 3: sleeps on the bottom bunk because he doesn't want to
- 25:54Speaker 3: fall off the top bunk, So I think that would
- 25:55Speaker 3: work out for you pretty well. I think that would
- 25:57Speaker 3: work out for you pretty well. Jake and Toledo right in,
- 26:01Speaker 3: he says, pro bouncy ball sucks.
- 26:02Speaker 1: Thank you for that, Jake.
- 26:04Speaker 3: He also had a comment about Jimmy Kimmel, which we
- 26:07Speaker 3: talked about yesterday on the podcast. He says, put your
- 26:12Speaker 3: tinfoil hat on with me. Kimmel wasn't really canceled for
- 26:17Speaker 3: his comments, he says, but to fall on the sword
- 26:19Speaker 3: to rile up the left. He says, his and all
- 26:23Speaker 3: of the late night ratings have been abysmal, and he
- 26:26Speaker 3: hasn't been funny since he had girls jumping on trampolines.
- 26:29Speaker 1: What say you.
- 26:32Speaker 3: So you're saying he was he was canceled like as
- 26:35Speaker 3: a martyr type thing.
- 26:38Speaker 1: Well, one interesting thing he brought up there. We didn't
- 26:40Speaker 1: mention this yesterday. In a lot of the comments I
- 26:43Speaker 1: was reading under the articles about this, people were saying,
- 26:46Speaker 1: you know what, this was a good excuse for them
- 26:49Speaker 1: to get rid of this guy because late night TV's dead.
- 26:53Speaker 1: Some people's theory is they were looking for an excuse.
- 26:57Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, I agree, you know it's it's one
- 27:01Speaker 3: of those cities.
- 27:02Speaker 1: We both know, Danny were working in the media business.
- 27:04Speaker 3: If you're making the company money, if you're very profitable
- 27:08Speaker 3: for the company, they will do anything to keep you.
- 27:10Speaker 1: They will go out of their way to keep you right.
- 27:12Speaker 3: And yeah, they love you. You're making them money and you're great.
- 27:17Speaker 3: And if the opposite happens, the first chance they get
- 27:21Speaker 3: to pull the plug, you're out.
- 27:23Speaker 1: You're gone.
- 27:24Speaker 3: We used to have a morning guy at Fox Sports
- 27:26Speaker 3: Radio who was very successful, made a lot of money
- 27:29Speaker 3: and would literally scream and shout at the bosses, and
- 27:33Speaker 3: they put up with it.
- 27:36Speaker 1: He made a lot of money.
- 27:38Speaker 3: The moment that stopped, the moment that stopped suddenly that
- 27:45Speaker 3: gentleman was no longer the morning host.
- 27:47Speaker 1: You we want to make an enemy out of me?
- 27:51Speaker 3: Did you see one of the rumors I read was
- 27:53Speaker 3: that Steven a would like to host.
- 27:56Speaker 1: Jimmy Yeah, I read that same article. It's his dream job.
- 28:00Speaker 1: What a disaster that would be. Holy crap. We hope that.
- 28:04Speaker 3: Happens a couple more. We'll get out on Lucky Tony
- 28:07Speaker 3: writes in and he doesn't called. They didn't call much
- 28:10Speaker 3: this week, he says, Ben and Danny G. Lucky Tony's
- 28:13Speaker 3: in the Bay Area. It's been brought to my attention
- 28:15Speaker 3: that the Denver Broncos unveiled new uniforms in twenty twenty four. Now,
- 28:19Speaker 3: now that the Broncos aren't wearing the Bears colors, can
- 28:23Speaker 3: Danny use his mob connections and Ben your illuminati friends
- 28:28Speaker 3: to keep it this way?
- 28:30Speaker 1: He says?
- 28:31Speaker 3: Cowboys twenty four Bears thirteen. Wow, all right, Lucky Lucky
- 28:37Speaker 3: Tony calling his shot there that the Bears are going
- 28:41Speaker 3: to lose to the Cowboys.
- 28:42Speaker 1: I wonder if that's a fake. Lucky Tony.
- 28:45Speaker 3: See next one, Big men and Danny G Big Brother
- 28:50Speaker 3: just recently installed speed cushions. Oh, This is from our
- 28:53Speaker 3: friend in Vietnam who sent this one in Kwang My
- 29:00Speaker 3: brother recently installed a speed cushion on a perfectly good road.
- 29:03Speaker 3: Do you realize these speed bumps are typically narrow and
- 29:06Speaker 3: extend across the entire roadway, causing vehicles to slow down significantly,
- 29:10Speaker 3: often forcing in your stop. Speed cushions, though, on the
- 29:13Speaker 3: other hand, are wider and have gaps in the middle,
- 29:16Speaker 3: allowing large vehicles like emergency vehicles to pass without slowing
- 29:20Speaker 3: down or experiencing a jarring bump. I did not know that,
- 29:26Speaker 3: but thanks for thanks for sharing. Clang in Vietnam. Did
- 29:31Speaker 3: you see that video this week Danny of the fire
- 29:34Speaker 3: truck in Hollywood that was going to a call and
- 29:37Speaker 3: one of those delivery robots.
- 29:40Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And the caption underneath said, whoops, yeah, so.
- 29:46Speaker 3: Fire truck is going lights and sirens to a call
- 29:49Speaker 3: someone needs medical attention or a fire and the fire
- 29:54Speaker 3: truck it was very brief, but it had to stop
- 29:56Speaker 3: for a couple of seconds because one of these delivery robots,
- 30:02Speaker 3: the carts, the old ice.
- 30:03Speaker 1: Cream cart two was in the way. Yeah.
- 30:08Speaker 3: Oh boy, all right, last one, Kyrie, and okay, see right.
- 30:14Speaker 3: Since hey guys, how's it going good for me? And
- 30:17Speaker 3: being a champion is all and all that. Of course
- 30:21Speaker 3: he loves the Thunder. Anyways, I was wondering, what is
- 30:24Speaker 3: your favorite sports memory? Mine is the Thunder winning the
- 30:26Speaker 3: NBA Finals. But you remember that, Kyrie, you're getting old. Also,
- 30:30Speaker 3: do you think they'll bring back Eddie? Miss him every
- 30:33Speaker 3: day as always, keep up the great work. There you go, Well,
- 30:36Speaker 3: you never say never.
- 30:38Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 30:38Speaker 3: I have no idea what they will do. I would
- 30:40Speaker 3: love for them to bring Eddie back. And he's still
- 30:43Speaker 3: a good friend of mine. We still chat on a
- 30:45Speaker 3: semi regular basis and whatnot, so that's obviously out of
- 30:48Speaker 3: my control. And favorite sports memory, I mean it would say,
- 30:57Speaker 3: I'll probably the Dodgers when I was a kid winning
- 30:59Speaker 3: the World Series, he's little kid. Or the Clippers getting
- 31:02Speaker 3: to the Final four always a popular memory of mine.
- 31:05Speaker 3: You know that was pretty cool, Danny. Was it when
- 31:08Speaker 3: you were a child? The Raiders winning the Super Bowl?
- 31:11Speaker 3: Would that be the Yeah?
- 31:12Speaker 1: Like the one vivid memory for sports for me. Marcus
- 31:16Speaker 1: Allen in that brilliant seventy four yard touchdown run in
- 31:20Speaker 1: the Super Bowl against the Redskins where he reversed field
- 31:24Speaker 1: and he just looked like a gazelle man running into
- 31:26Speaker 1: the end zone. That was such a dope run. Longest
- 31:30Speaker 1: run touchdown run in the Super Bowl at the time.
- 31:33Speaker 1: We listened to Bill King call that on the radio
- 31:37Speaker 1: when I was a little kid, because we were visiting
- 31:39Speaker 1: my grandma in San Jose and she said, you guys
- 31:42Speaker 1: can either come in and watch the game, or you
- 31:44Speaker 1: can stay out here throwing your Raiders football around and
- 31:46Speaker 1: put the Super Bowl on the radio. We turned Bill
- 31:49Speaker 1: King up on the radio and we kept throwing our
- 31:51Speaker 1: football around. We listened to his call of that on
- 31:54Speaker 1: the radio. Brocket giving to Alan setting a wide up.
- 31:58Speaker 1: He asked the revoices he got the light from Mama,
- 32:01Speaker 1: come back, come back to the creddle to the town,
- 32:09Speaker 1: to the dog Leon.
- 32:15Speaker 3: Shutting awesome. I was upset. I genuinely was upset. I
- 32:27Speaker 3: didn't mention this on the radio show Monday Night Football.
- 32:30Speaker 3: I don't know if you caught this or not.
- 32:32Speaker 1: Danny.
- 32:32Speaker 3: During the Raiders game, they played the clip of the
- 32:34Speaker 3: Holy Roller with Bill King.
- 32:37Speaker 1: Yeah, and they didn't know it was Bill King.
- 32:40Speaker 3: Yes, Yes, I was screaming at Chris Fowler, dummy, it's
- 32:44Speaker 3: Bill King.
- 32:46Speaker 1: It's the legend. Give him some love. I know he's dead,
- 32:49Speaker 1: but you don't know who that is. I was so pissed.
- 32:53Speaker 3: I was so pissed, and I I was lucky enough
- 32:56Speaker 3: to I did some stats for the old Oakland Athletics
- 32:59Speaker 3: when the A's would I'm into Anaheim and I Bill
- 33:01Speaker 3: King was still an announcer, and I've told the story,
- 33:06Speaker 3: it's a famous story of mine where it was a
- 33:08Speaker 3: hot day in Anaheim and Bill took his clothes off
- 33:11Speaker 3: and did the game in his tidy white East But
- 33:15Speaker 3: he was such a nice gentleman and such a legend.
- 33:17Speaker 3: I mean, whether I had he was a triple threat.
- 33:19Speaker 3: He even did Golden State Warriors games. This guy did football,
- 33:24Speaker 3: basketball and baseball famously for the Oakland A's for decades.
- 33:30Speaker 3: He needs way more respect put on his name.
- 33:33Speaker 1: I agree.
- 33:33Speaker 3: And the thing about I was actually having a conversation
- 33:37Speaker 3: with one of my radio buddies back East about this.
- 33:39Speaker 3: That the difference in the business now and we're of
- 33:41Speaker 3: the generation Danny and I don't want to say, well,
- 33:43Speaker 3: once we're gone, it's all over. But there's an art
- 33:46Speaker 3: to it, and certain people are able to make it
- 33:48Speaker 3: seem bigger than it is, and Bill King and I
- 33:51Speaker 3: didn't grow up in the Bay Area.
- 33:53Speaker 1: I didn't.
- 33:53Speaker 3: I'd listened to him sometimes late at night. I'd get
- 33:55Speaker 3: a game on the AM radio at night and I'd
- 33:59Speaker 3: hear Bill King. And when I'd go to the Bay
- 34:01Speaker 3: Area to visit relatives or whatever, I'd hear him on
- 34:03Speaker 3: the radio. But he made it seem bigger. His voice
- 34:07Speaker 3: made it seem bigger. And there's not a lot of
- 34:10Speaker 3: people today doing play by play that make it in bigger.
- 34:13Speaker 1: Musburger's voice was like that. It's one of the reasons
- 34:16Speaker 1: al Michaels is still able to hold on because you
- 34:18Speaker 1: hear his voice and it seems like a big setting.
- 34:21Speaker 1: You're right, there's just certain guys, certain voices where it
- 34:25Speaker 1: seems like it is larger than life.
- 34:27Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just means something more, and it's about the presentation.
- 34:32Speaker 3: And it seems like a lot of the play by
- 34:34Speaker 3: play people of this generation they just they don't get that.
- 34:39Speaker 1: They don't do it that way. It's just another random game.
- 34:43Speaker 1: And that's fine.
