• 1:41
  Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, really you.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Ever had a dakery? You enjoy the dakery.
• 1:46
  Speaker 7: My first Dakrie was a Daker ice ice cream flavor
• 1:50
  Speaker 7: at Baskin Robbins and I was like eight years old.
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: So that was my first zackery.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Family, give you um. Did not have any rum attitude.
• 2:02
  Speaker 7: No, the probably not probably not, but the flavor though,
• 2:06
  Speaker 7: so I mean, yeah, alcoholic already over here at eight
• 2:09
  Speaker 7: years old.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: There you go getting started early.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: Dacri has if you don't know rum, lime, juice, and sugar.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Although there's a bunch of different varieties of dakrin now.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: And here's the fun factory, invented supposedly in eighteen ninety
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: eight by Jennings Stockton. Doesn't that sound like a fake name?
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Jennings Stockton Cox?
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Who was he?
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: He was a miner, like an engineer in mining, and
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: he named it after this local mining village in Cuba.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: There's apparently a place in Cuba called Dakri Cuba.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: And there you go. The it's National Dakri day to day,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: so enjoy that. It's National ice cream day to day
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: Ooh, okay, see the hand in hand.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And this is a fun fact.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: I learned from Tom Looney years ago that the ice
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: cream cone was in ed in Saint Louis. Saint Louis, Missouri.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Somebody named Charles E. Minches of Saint Louis created invented
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: the ice cream cone in nineteen.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Oh four at the World's Fair in Saint Louis.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: He filled a pastry cone with two scoops of ice cream.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: And there is controversy though, and we love it because Brie.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: There's a claim that a Italian man from New York
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: City had already filed a patent for the ice cream
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: cone a couple months before the World's Fair.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: So there's debate whether this guy stole stolen idea, stolen
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: valor for the ice cream cone.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: And back in those days they didn't have the Internet.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: There was really no way to document crap like that.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: So the guy, supposedly this other guy in New York,
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: the Italian guy, was selling ice cream cones in eighteen
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: ninety six, which is eight years befo for the World's Fair.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: In Saint Louis.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: So that so who knows who knows? And it is,
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: by the way, this is another interesting fun fact. On
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: National ice Cream Day, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed the month
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: of July nineteen eighty four. He said, July is National
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: ice Cream Month. And he said the third Sunday in
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: the month, which is today, is National ice Cream Day.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: So that came from the White House. Wow official official.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: And but wait, there's more.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: It is stick your tongue out Day today or stick
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: out your tongue Day today.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: So there you.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Can celebrate by sticking your tongue out and enjoy yourself.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: And there are eight I jotted this down there. It's
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: in my notes app here. There are eight different muscle
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: in the tongue and speech pronunciation, all that stuff. The
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: key and according to the Guinness World Book of Records,
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: a gentleman in twenty twelve from Selena's, California. You ever
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: been to Selena's, California, good farming town.
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: I am not. I've driven past it.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I stopped at a target in selenas one time. There
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: you go to the bathroom. So I stopped at Tarry.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: It was Nick and Selenas Hey.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: According to Guinness, he has the world's longest tongue insert jokey.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Three point nine seven inches long. Oh my god, that
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: seems problematically.
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: Just a time.
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: That's a lot of ice cream, and you're gonna insert no,
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: I'm good, I'm god, I'm got all right.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Here's another fun fact.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: The tongue has two thousand to eight thousand taste buds.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: How about that. That's a lot of things.
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: However, the older you get, the less taste you have.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: You lose a certain number of taste buds every year,
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: the long that you go.
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: So do you know where a lot of the major
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: ones are throughout the tip of your tongue?
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Is that right?
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: H I learned that in biology.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, look at you, a smarty pant.
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: I think so, But I don't know. I know, I'm
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: doubting myself. I'm like, why did I know that? But
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna guess that that's right.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: And let me tell you the smartest man many think
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: to live on the planet, or one of the smartest
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: people live on the planet, Albert Einstein. That famous photo
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: of him sticking his tongue out not photoshop Albert Einstein.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: The legend of Albert Einstein is that he loved to
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: stick his tongue out whenever someone was taking his picture,
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: just to bust balls and all that he'd stick his
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: tongue out, and it is claimed that the tongue being
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: stuck out is not rude, except in parts of New
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Zealand where oh yeah, there's a part of New Zealand
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: where they do a chant and they stick their tongue out,
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: so it's disrespectful.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: So if you're ever in New Zealand now that you
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: want to do that? What else have in today? Oh?
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Winston Churchhill and used the two finger V for victory
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: sign in nineteen forty Can you do the V thing?
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: Like I'm gonna say, I think it's like the peace
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: thing that's like the Instagram girls like that post like it.
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: You know, they stick out their tongue and they do
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: the peace thing. That's like a Tombo count.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: You're combined. Well, now did Churchill do the two finger?
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: I guess you did do the not the forefinger, because
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: you know you can't do the four finger where you
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: separate it right, you can do that, but yeah, the
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: two finger thing the piece, yeah.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Or victory? He did for victory and what else?
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: Samuel Colt invented the revolver in eighteen fourteen, supposedly on
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: this day, not the day before, not the day after
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: this day.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Anyway, this is massive.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: Next up on or actually the first question on the
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: mail bag as we've futched around. Leo from Chicago, right so,
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: and he says, Benny, I love the malord Palooza this week,
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: some really talented listeners overnight. I also enjoy listening to
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: the Bennies every year. However, I think the show needs
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: another anchor. Would you be open to doing something else,
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: like a return of the Spelling Bee.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: To the show? Thanks, I'll take my answer off the air, Leo.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's a podcast, Leo, it's not on the air, dummy,
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: I'm kidding. Uh yeah, I think we're good on the
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: Spelling Bee. I did do the Spelling Bee for a while, Brie,
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: and it was a disaster.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: Why tell me why. I think it would be so fun.
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: I want to be a part of it.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Well, I'd love to have you a part of it,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: because you're.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Not a spell Here's the problem, all right, we do
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: this bit like every week with Lorrain and the Queen
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: of Hearts and I say, hashtag Queen of Hearts. These
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: dopes don't know how to spell Queen of Hearts? How
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: hard is that? And I was trying to get the
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: Mallard Palooza thing trending. I was like, hey, hashtag mallar Paloosa.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: These guys can't even spell Paloosa. I don't even think
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: they can spell Mallard. So in theory, Leo, it's a
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: great idea. I would be open if somebody wants to
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: send suggestions in. There's only so many bits you can
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: do on radio because we're limited. I've tried pretty much
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: everything over the years, and I've got a formula that
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: kind of works, but I am more than open to
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: trying some other things. I don't think the spelling bees
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: where it's at, just because we've done that and it
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: was a little tough.
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: I'm really happy that the book comes back.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You know what I love is the hopper.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: We brought the hopper back, and I need to use
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: the hopper more. I'm going to find reasons to use
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: the hopper. So if anyone has suggestions on how we
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: can use the hopper, I'm all about the hopper.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I love the hopper, Bree, I'm a hopper guy. I
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: love it.
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: What's the hopper?
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: The hopper is during the World Cup.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: It's like the NBA Draft lottery, a bingo thing. And
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: with numbered balls in it, and we assigned in alphabetical
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: order a number for every team and the World Cup,
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: and then we you know, did the lot and who
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: each person got a numbered ball and then they got
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: that team.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I got version of the lottery. Draft lottery is what
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: that is? So?
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: Oh how fun?
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: It's great, right, all right? Rick in Omaha writes, and
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: he has been. I spent some money on space x stock.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: It's not going well, am I doomed?
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: You you should never I don't know why you're asking me,
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: by the way, a podcast about I don't even know
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: what this is about at this point, but we're not
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: giving financial advice.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: H space X.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: I saw they lost like a trillion dollars in value
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: since the I I p O came out and peaked
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: and all that. I think they'll be okay. Actually I
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: could be completely wrong about this. I think they'll be fine.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: It's gonna take a while, though, you gotta you're gonna
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: have to be in it for a while. I don't
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: see the scenario where they completely go out of business.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: I think they'll be okay, and they'll there'll be some
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: big deals. These things go up and down, and uh,
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: it's not looking good if you bought at the peak.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: I even I actually bought full disclosure. I did buy
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: some a little spacextion. It's not it's not doing well,
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: but I don't really worry. I futz around with it.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: I don't go too big in that Wall Street stuff.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: I I'll play around on my phone a little bit
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: and buy certain things, but I.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not really worried.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: I think, yeah, I'm the kind of guy that'll buy
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: stuff and hold on to it for a while.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: So if you're willing to do that, you know, chances
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: are you're going to be okay.
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: It lost a trillion one trillion dollars in value in
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: a month, a trillion.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: So it opened it one hundred and fifty a share,
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: and then it went up to like one hundred and.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Eighty or something like that. I think it's down to
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: like one hundred.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: I don't know what it's at today, but the other
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: day it was like one hundred and thirty a share.
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: One hundred and thirty one.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, So it went way up and then it's
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: gone below. It's like basically twenty dollars below where it
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: was when it opens. So it's not doing great.
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: It's a trillion. I'm just I'm focused on the trillion
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: in part.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Definitely got a trillion, don't you breathe him on? You're loaded?
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: Sure?
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: No, no, no, I'm no. No, I'm a billionaire. I'm
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: not a trillionaire.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: You live near the ocean, you're west, so that means.
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: That means I'm a billionaire. Yeah.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Me and Gascon back in the day, we know, we
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: had this conversation. You're with four or five. You're in
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: good shape. You're in good shape. All right, let's see here,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: what do we got next?
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: Up on the mail bag, Kwang from Ho Chi Minh,
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: Vietnam guaranteed human rights in he says, in honor of
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Tampa Bay buccaneer play by play announcer Gene Deckerhoff, who
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: I believe is retired.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: I don't think Jean's doing it anymore. Oh no, thank you,
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: I think he retired. He who became famous for his
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: signature call uh fire. That fire contins thirty six years
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: in the broadcast booth and Kwang says, did you know
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: that in traditional military English, the plor for cannon is
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: actually cannon, not cannon's okay. Also, on a previous episode
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: of the original Recipe podcast. You mentioned that you had
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: some Dwight Howard stories that you couldn't get into at
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: the time. Can you give them? Can you give us
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: the details here on the podcast that's quaying from Ho
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: Gi Me in Vietnam, guaranteed human.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so's there's a couple. I'll give you the one.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I'll give you one right now.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: So Dwight Howard when he was playing for the Lakers,
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: they brought him in and I think it was Steve Nash, yes,
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: and it was a just a poop show. They were
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: no good. Nash was washed Sorry, Briy, I know you
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: worshiped Steve Nash. You have an alter to Steve Nash.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: He was washed up. Dwight Howard didn't play all that well.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: It was not good. I enjoyed it a lot because
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: I always loved the tears of Laker historians.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Anyway, that was back in the days.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: I was out at those games all the time, and
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: I was hanging out in the locker rooms and stuff,
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: and Dwight was not hand link things very well. The
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: team sucked. He wasn't living up to expectations. And Dwight
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: made the mistake of watching a lot of sports TV
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: he loved the show with stephen A.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Smith and Skip Bayless.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: And those guys just teed off on the Lakers because
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: they that's all they talk about, like the Lakers, cowboys,
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: you know, the same things every day. So they were
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: ripping Dwight Hower. And Dwight came in all MOPy and
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: TJ Simers, who the late great TJ Simers. It was
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: in the media, you know group that I was standing with,
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: and TJ asked Dwight what was going on. He brought
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: up the fact that there were some lies told about
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: him or something along the I forget exactly what he said,
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: but it was he was not happy with stephen A
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: and Skip Bayless. And it was the funniest thing ever
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: because Dwight's all depressed, He's all mopey. This is a
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: couple of hours before a Laker game, and TJ Simers
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: then's TJ.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: He was, He didn't really beat around the bush.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: He then gave a lecture or a sermon to Dwight
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Howard about the birds and the bees. He's like, listen, Dwight,
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: I've worked at the ESPN. That show has hardly anyone
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: watching it. In comparison, he was trying to explain how
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: few people actually watch the show in comparison how many
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: people there are that are sports fans and you know whatever,
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: and Dwight was having none of it. Dwight was convinced,
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: like everyone watches that show.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: It was it was really hilarious.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: And TJ who was on Around the Horn, he wasn't
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: on there long. He was on that show briefly, which
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: has also been canceled, but it was. It was pretty
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: funny that Dwight, who had like an MVP award under
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: his belt and had all these all star appearances, and
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: he was just beaten and broken because of some debate
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: between Steve and A and Skip Bayliss. So that was
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: the basis of the story. Mike from Wisconsin writes in
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: he says, Ben, Tom Brady and Logan Paul got into
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: it at Fanatics Fest and Brady slapped Jake Paul across
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: the face on stage. Was this real or scripted? I say,
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: I say it was fake. My brother says it's real.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: May may you help us out? This is Mike, Mike
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: from Wisconsin. So, uh yeah, I mean there's breed. Did
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: you saw this right?
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I as, yeah, Let's put us the hit was real?
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: It was also script It was not it was fake
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: in terms of it.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: It wasn't an organic ball made. And I don't know
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: what they're up to.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: There's all kinds of rumors like Brady's loved professional wrestling,
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: and he's talked about how you like to participate in
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: the WWE match. So this could be the setup for
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: a w WE storyline between Paul and Brady. That's possible.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Like Brady's Brady's around my age. I just think he's
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: he's a little younger than I am, but I just
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: think he's bored.
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: So why could he be bored?
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: You're a part owner of an NFL team, You're an announcer,
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: Like what else?
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: You get to do whatever you want all the time?
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: Like what what do you want it?
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: Why do you have to get involved in every part
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: of like entertainment, Like what he's going to come out
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: with a single? Next he's going to go on tour
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: with Leangelo Ball, Like what are we going to do here?
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Good high?
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: Well no, but he's he's bored in the standpoint, there's
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: no big events, there's no competition. You know, he just
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: does the TV stuff and he just kind of spews
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: cliches and empty platitudes.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: When he does these NFL games.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: But if he was in a wrestling match like that
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: would be that would be a big And if I'm
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: not a cop as you know, Brie, but I believe
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: what if that was real? Doesn't that meet the legal definition?
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: Like what Brady did to Jake Paul, Like, does that
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: not meet the legal definition of assault and or battery?
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: It was Logan Paul, right, Logan Paul.
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: Logan Yeah, Logan Paul is the Paul was the boxer.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I get you know, all those Paul brothers, I don't know.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I can't till one from the other. They're all annoying.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: But but the point is is that not assault and
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: or battery literal? It would be up to Logan Paul
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: whether he wanted to pursue charges and whatnot.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it was not authentic.
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: And Karl Anthony Towns had to hold him back. Also,
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: like how ridiculous can that be? We need to sell
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: to be like wearing a I was showing a picture
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: of like wearing like a Logan Paul shirt that's going
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: to be coming up next or something stupid like that.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Like Karl Anthony Towns will be the manager, the celebrity.
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: The Paul Hayman walking down.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: I missed the days for big heavyweight fights when they'd
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: have the day before news conference and there'd always be
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: some kind of staged fight and it was such you
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: knew it was bull crack.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: It was hilarious.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: You know, it's like they were really trying to sell
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: the fight. Connor McGregor is.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: A master at that these days, and he didn't fight
• 19:06

• 21:18
  Speaker 4: Wally from Syracuse says Ben, I've been joining your show
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: for years. You're one of what I call one of
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: the last of the originals in radio.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Please never change, So.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: I'll try not to until they fired me, Wally, then
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: I'll change anyway, he says. To my questions or question,
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: what did you think about Howard Stern comming back to
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: one show per week and also getting rid of a
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: long time a bunch of longtime staffers this week. I
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: want to get your perspective as a radio guy. Thanks
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: Wally from Syracuse. Yeah, I don't It's not my business.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: I don't work on that show. I don't know that.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: One of the great claims the fame is when I
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: got whacked from Fox Sports Radio and nine and Stern
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: talked about me a little bit.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: On the show, which was cool.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: Oh really, yeah, Well, Pete and Pittsburgh called up and
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: dropped my name and so they you know, they talked.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: It was cool.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: It was great because I had a bunch of relatives
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: breed that aren't sports fans. They don't get sports, and
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: they listened. They used to listen to Thurn all the time,
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: so they heard my name and they were like, oh
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: my god, my phone.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Blew up after that. It was awesome. That was pretty cool. Sport. Yeah,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: it was great, But you know, it sucks. I mean,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of people.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: The thing that blows me away, Wally is how many
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: people work on that show.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: It just kills me.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: I read in the Sun, the London Sun, I think
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: it was in London. They said that the Stern Show
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: has about ninety staff members for what's ninety for one show?
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: And we don't even have ninety employees.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: Well, I know, I'm I'm thinking, like I you know,
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: I don't want brag or anything, but I do like
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: I do four hours and I pretty much produced the
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: show and put everything, you know, and it's much as
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: possible in terms of the content, the monologues and all
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: that stuff.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: I do all that stuff like four hours.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: And like ninety people ninety what are you doing? That's
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: like a government waste and all.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: It's wild.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: So as far as the one show, like Stern's old,
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: I don't know how how old is Howard Stern. It's
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: gotta be like, is he in his seventy Yeah, he's
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: seventy two week, I'll bet you and I have no
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: inside information.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: I'll bet you.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: Stern probably when serious XM said, Hey, Howard, do we
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: want to your deal's coming up.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: We want to keep you in. Howd's like, I don't
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: really want to do this.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: Well, come on, please, Howard. We want to keep you.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: We'll pay a lot of money. Okay, I know you're paid,
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: but I don't need the money. I just don't want
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: to do it. And then and Howard's probably like, oh,
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: I'll just have around. I'll do one show a week. Week.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: There's no way they'll agree to that. Why would they
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: agree to that. That's a bad deal. They agreed to it.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: So like one show a week is like one it's
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: everyone's you know, I've been talking to some of my
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: radio buddies. You know, I have friends that I text
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: all the time. We're in the business, different parts of
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: the country, and they were all like, wait a minute,
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: that's what I want you know, instead of a day.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: The whole point of this, and Howard knows better than
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: anybody because he you know, he's was at one point
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: the king of all radio is that the thing that
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: makes it what it is is that it's radio is about.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Showing up every day and being there. It's like having
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: your sofa.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: Like your sofa when you go to your house, if
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: you have a sofa, your sofa is not only there
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: on Wednesdays, It's there every day of.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: The week, right, you know what I mean.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: Like it's it's not like you get to said, Okay,
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: well I don't have my sofa because it's Thursday.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Like radio, you're supposed to be there. It's appointment listening.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: It's just part of what all this stuff is. And
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: Know, Like I hey, if I if I'm lucky enough
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: to make it, you know, in my seventies and my eighties,
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: I hope I am, and all that that would be great.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: And U I mean the dream would be one day
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: a week.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: I like, I see these guys that do two hour shows,
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: three hour shows, I'm like, my god, that would be amazing.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: Like the grind is the four hours. That's the grind
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: and having to do it every day, but good for hours.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: He can get with it. I I was a huge
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: Hour Stern fan growing up. I listened to a show
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: all the time and one of the people that influenced
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: me early on. I haven't heard much of him. I
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: don't have serious exam I did hear him a few times.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: They've had trials and whatnot. It doesn't seem like he's
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: the same guy he was when I grew up. But
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: we all changed, so that's what happens.
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: And you know, that's what I hear. Like his style
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: has completely changed, his bellie. It's just it's just not
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: the same.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: Well he's he was always the guy that was the
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: renegade that didn't want to be friends with the celebrities.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: Now he doesn't want to offend the celebrities. It seems like,
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: you know, it's it's for those that remember that when
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: he had his fastball and his curveball, and he had
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: a knuckle curve, and he had a breaking ball, and
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: he had a split finger pitch. And now he's thrown
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: sloppable from from what I understand.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: So, but ninety people pree for one show. What do
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: you do?
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: How do you how do you do a show that's
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: like a whole production.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: I get having a few people to do bits. Does
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: Howard just show up and they have everything planned out
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: for him?
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: That'd be great.
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: What's the point? He's just a mouth? He's at that
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: point exactly.
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: Stanley from somewhere in North Carolina writes, and he says, Ben,
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: does this story prove that teamwork is overrated? You've often
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: ranted about chemistry being nonsense and all that.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I've.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: Said exactly that, Stanley, but there was a story he
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: sent me here that neuroscientists found that teamwork a teamwork paradox.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: They say that highly synchronized brains perform worse at complex
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: asks to a some science journal thing. Sure, Stanley, I'm
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: not reading all that, Stanley, I'm not.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: We'll just agree, we'll agree.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: Wan from San Diego rights and he says, Ben, I
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: heard your rant this week about the World Cup and
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: the MLS and all that, and I.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Agree with you.
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: However, he says, here in San Diego, the president of
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: our MLS team is convinced that the MLS will benefit
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: long term from youth soccer. Apparently kids are lining up
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: because of the World Cup. Breed that they're forcing their
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: parents to sign them up for youth soccer. And the
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: guy that runs Wan sent me a story here. The
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: guy that runs the team in San Diego said that
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: this will create a foundation for the MLS for years
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: to come, lifelong fandom of the World Cup.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: And my position is the same one.
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: This is uh bullshoy as they say at Russia. Yeah,
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: I grew up playing soccer. Everyone around my age played soccer.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: You know how many people around my age love soccer?
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: Very few, and I think that's pretty much every generation.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: It's a great sport to play when you're a kid
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: because you just run around, you don't really know what's
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: going on, and you're doing cardio kinda and there's always
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: you know, the fat kid like me standing there and
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: then that's it. So it's fun to play as a kid.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: Usually when you get to the age of like thirteen
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: or fourteen or even younger, did you just move on?
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: Did you play soccer when you were a little girl, grie,
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: Were you a scery?
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: No?
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: I didn't, but I had friends that did. But yeah,
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: as soon as we left like high school, nobody cared
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: about soccer like they played through high school and I
• 28:53
  Speaker 7: don't really have friends that watched it either, Like I don't.
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: I don't have anybody in my life that's like a
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: soccer fan and just my entire life, So I don't.
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: I think they use it as like a ploy, like
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: a marketing ploy, right, like look at oh my God
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: because of the World Cup, look at numbers like you
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: should get your kid involved, and d d DA because
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: of number.
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: You know, it's all it's all baloney. I feel like
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: it could be.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just I call it the long con, the
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: big con, cause we're talking about at least fifty years
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: of soccer propaganda that this is going to be the
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: defining moment.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: And I gues at some point it's just the boy
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: that cracked wolf right. It's just, you know, we don't
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: believe you.
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: Charlie from Florida writes in he says ben Don Lemon

• 37:13
  Speaker 4: will Hooters be replacing Applebee's for family fund now? And
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: John sent that we talked about this John a few
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: months ago.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: But the guy that runs Hooters now.
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: They're out of bankruptcy, and he said they're going to
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: return to their roots. He emphasized food, hospitality and community
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: environment involvement rather and said that Hooters is going to
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: be the go to restaurant for families and kids.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Got CEO there. He said that the brand had become
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: over sexualized.
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: And it was a little boys club, all that stuff,
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: and it's called exactly.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Good luck, good luck on that.
• 37:55
  Speaker 7: I love Hooters. I'd be so happy if he came back.
• 37:58
  Speaker 7: I love those I love that sauce. I've ordered that
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: sauce online. Really, I yeah, I truly love that sauce.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: I'm upset with Hooters. And here's a couple of reasons.
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: I used to hang out at the one in Santa Monica.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: When I leve La all the time. You know that
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: part of La I would go over there, had great nights.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: I've told the story on this podcast. Me and Artie,
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: We're hanging out my old boardop and Tony Bruno would
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: come home. We had a great time fucking shop. It
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: was wonderful memories. And then I'm also upset because we
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: had a deal and I believe the statue limitations ran
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: on and so we had a deal years ago with
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: the Hooters Hotel in Vegas. Oh my god, We're going
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: to fly into Vegas every every week during the NFL season,
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: me and Looney to do our show from the hotel.
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: And then about ten days before the NFL season, they
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: pulled out of the deal Hooters because the company was
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: about to go bankrupt and they couldn't pay the freight.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: So I'm still bitter about that. That would have been awesome,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: That would be so much fun. My god. A couple more.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: Hudson from Pasadena writes and he says, Ben, should you
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: start betting on the weather?
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: Do you see this guy, this ice cream shop guy
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: in La here? No? Yeah, so this guy, he's an
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: ice cream shop. He runs an ice cream shop and
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: somewhere in la I think downtown, and he's been using
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: the prediction market calshie to hedge against slow sales, like
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: if the weather ever gets cold or rainy. The guy says,
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: in the ice cream business, whenever the temperatures fall below
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: seventy degree they lose about twenty percent of their business
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: based on the weather. So he got this idea. This
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: guy's name Jason, he said, let me hedge, And so
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: he's been betting just twenty dollars a day on weather
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: related prediction.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Deals, which I didn't even know you could do.
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: And he spends time studying the meteorological report, the climate
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: data from scientists, he analyzes it, and then he makes
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: his way here twenty dollars a day. He generates about
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: fifteen hundred dollars.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Per month from this. Do you imagine get an extra
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: fifteen hundred dollars a month?
• 40:16
  Speaker 7: Just like what are you betting on? Like it's going
• 40:18
  Speaker 7: to be over seventy degrees today?
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Per under? So it's smart.
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: And here's why, because if he bets, I assume he's
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: just betting under, and then if it goes over, he
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: makes more than twenty dollars because the business doesn't go down.
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: Oh, I know, I got it.
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: Okay, he's etching, so fifteen hundred dollars per month he
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: makes on average, He said that covers forty three percent
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: of his monthly rent. His monthly rent is thirty five
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: hundred dollars a month, and he risks six.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Hundred dollars per month on the market. He said. The
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: biggest win he's gotten is eight hundred dollars in one day.
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I tell you I'm not opposed to looking into this.
• 41:06
  Speaker 7: No, I don't blame it. No, I actually agree. I
• 41:09
  Speaker 7: mean it's better than like selling like seat picks or
• 41:11
  Speaker 7: something online.
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: I'd rather do that.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: I don't have any I don't have it. I can't
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: really sell anything like that online making any money. Why
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: you know what?
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: Then?
• 41:22
  Speaker 6: You you know what? I I doubt that. I think
• 41:25
  Speaker 6: you know you?
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I could not.
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: Keith in the suburbs of Seattle. I love that, he
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: wrote here, non woke part of Seattle.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I needed to know that.
