As we begin a brand new month in the early morning hours. Of the first day of March. 2026 as we are.

3:02We're on March Madness begins today. Right now we can get sued for that. Energy March Madness today. Right now March 1st. And what a better way to begin March. Then with the mailbag. Now get right to the mailbag. Right to the mailbag we go. It's in the back. And it's mailbag. Yesterday Ben in Southern California did not feel like. The very end of February in the start of March. It felt like summer. It was getting burned out in the sun. Last couple of days have been. Been tremendous in terms of. We've been where I am in the north woods 90 plus. Both days 90 plus. And my my brothers who live in coal weather. Especially my brother lives in New York. He was sending me photos of the snow that's piled up.

4:02On the side in Manhattan. And people are putting the trash. Every day they pick up the trash in Manhattan. And they've been putting the snow on top of the trash. So you're walking down the street. And there's like bags of trash at eye level. And I said, well here in L.A. We have our own blizzard. It's a heat blizzard. And we're getting overwhelmed with heat. It's wild. Wild and crazy. But it's been. It's been an adjustment. I turn my AC on. In February. Yeah. We're three days in a row. That in other parts of the country. They're shoveling snow. Yeah. Well, we better get something. I mean, the taxes that we paid Danny. We might as well get something. You're not kidding. All right. Well, we have a bunch of letters to get to. A lot of email. You guys have been great. You stepped a bag when we first started this podcast way back in the day. I had to beg people to post things. And I haven't had to do that in a long time because you guys have been great.

5:02And we thank you. And if you'd like to send before I start going through the email bag. I'd like to send a letter in in a future edition. You can send it to real 5 hour at gmail.com. That's real 5 hour at gmail.com. All letters. No numbers. And we thank you. Put your name and city. I'm still getting messages from people that didn't put their name in the city and the whole thing. It's I know it's a little thing. But if you want credit. You got to let us know. We don't know. We don't know where you're from and all that stuff. So let us know. All right. JT the wingman from just outside Knoxville, Tennessee. Severville, Tennessee. I believe is. I believe that's how you say it. I just like saying your Knoxville. Anyway, since dear Ben and Danny G. As we begin the month of March. And meteorologically spring. I look forward to spending a lot of time outdoors and enjoying my Harley Davidson.

6:02It also means spring cleaning. Is upon us as well. What is on the typical spring cleaning list at the mall or mansion. And the gira deli estate. For me, it will be a consolidation of things from our move. And he says, I've been lost without the season recap of Benny versus the penny. That's JT the wingman. Yeah, we did not end up doing a season recap. We planned on it. And then loony and myself both. Very busy. And our schedules did not align. And we've already moved on now to try to plan things for. The 2026 NFL season. So we've. We've put that to bed as far as. You know, as of today. So if that changes will let you know as far as spring cleaning. It's mostly dusting. And try to keep it clean on a semi regular basis.

7:02So we do not have to. End up having this massive cleaning situation because. As Janie just pointed out, whether it's not too bad most of the time out here. So not too much, you know, some stuff outside that needs to be. Picked up and moved around. And things like that. But it's relatively relatively minor. What about you, Danny? We're actually in the middle of a little project right now upstairs. Finally got a new vanity for our bathroom. Put some laminate floor in. They ripped some carpet out. And in order for the two construction guys to do that last week. We had to pull everything out of our closet. Now this has started a whole. Cleaning phase from you know who saying. Oh, this is perfect because. We need to really whittle down all the things we had inside our closet. The decluttering. Yep. And Brenda loves throwing things away. My wife's the same way.

8:04The thing that kills me is the food thing. We've talked about this before in the podcast. But you go through the refrigerator. And they put the expiration date on stuff. But to me, you do the smell test. And you know, you do the eyeball on the smell test. If there's hair growing on it, throw it away. If it smells funky, throw it away. But otherwise, it's probably fine. And now you do the taste test and all that stuff. But if anything is like right at the expiration date, it gets immediately thrown away. I'm definitely not in order. But I do have some of my mom in my personality where she used to save certain items because she would say, I don't want to have to go buy this because I already have one. I'm just going to save it. And it's there when I need it. And that's coming handy in my garage. And a few things in the closet. And Brenda gets into this cycle of throwing too many things away. So then when she needs something, she has to buy it again. Yeah. Yeah, I have a similar situation.

9:04We have certain things we have. And then you end up, because this stuff doesn't get put back where it's supposed to be. So then you end up buying that thing again, whatever that item was. And then you have duplicates. Exactly. Exactly. All right, moving on. Ferg dog in the winter wonderland of Fullerton writes in. He says, happy March 1st, Ben and Danny G. You've been killing my guy, Arty Marino, all week, Ben. As an Angels fan, I've got to come to his defense. If you care about winning, it's the only one coming to Arty's defense. He says, if you care about winning, Edison Field is still a great place to catch a game. If you're a fan of the opposing team. And Grave Digger and Bigfoot have done pretty, or plenty of winning by the way, the big A over the past 30 years. That's right. The monster truck rally is massive in Anaheim. So he says, so lay off all right.

10:04He says, you mentioned having a good, amazing Crescan story on the radio. Could you please share it? Now, yeah, I actually just drove by last night, Danny, the big A. And instead of having Halo on it, it looked like it had devil horns. I don't know why. It's very odd that they would have that. Is that drove by the big A? That's one of the all-time great quotes. I've been doing this job a long time, Danny. But Arty Marino, coming out, basically saying, hey, we did surveys, market research, and our fans, our moms, and they don't care whether we win or not. It was so good that when I gave the story to Covino and Rich, I almost booked you as a guest for the show. If your schedule wasn't completely opposite, because I wanted you to share with them the story about the press box. Oh, yeah. Yeah, the press box. Yeah, because they don't know. They're just like, oh, known as a horrible owner. How bad if an owner he really is. Well, yeah.

11:04Any time. I could, if you want, next time. But, yeah, the angels, my late buddy, the great T.J. Simers, who was a friend of mine, died last year. I think it was last year. And it might have been two years ago. But T.J. was a columnist for the early times. And he kept killing Arty Marino. And the legend is, because Arty was so pissed at T.J. He moved the press box, which is almost always behind home plate. That's where it's always been. And he moved it down near the right field foul pole. It's pretty much near the pearly gates. It's like the worst pause. You can't even see home plate from the back row. And it's like just like one little booth. And it's embarrassing. It's not major league at all. And he did that to get back at T.J. Simers. And they never moved it back because they could sell the seats behind home plate. They did get in trouble, though. It is interesting to note, Danny, with the BBWAA, the baseball writers association of America, which is a very powerful cartel.

12:04And they forced the angels to give them a few seats behind home plate for members of the cartel. But everyone else is sitting out, basically above the foul pole in right field. It's, let's put it this way. I don't live that far from there, Danny. And I could go whenever I want. I don't go because I just rather watch on TV. It's that bad. So I don't know. And then I read another. There was another story just a couple of days ago that they're behind with their electronics equipment at spring training. They don't have a speed gun on their pictures because they don't have the proper equipment because everything is so outdated with them. It's crazy. The angels, no games on TV this spring. They don't have a Spanish broadcast team. In Southern California, which is, wow, but the angels, though, you're thinking about the TV thing. I was watching, I was flipping around the other day

13:04during the All Star break in the NBA. And I watched a North Carolina Wilmington game on the magic box. So I was watching it. And it was just the radio feed. And they did, they had two cameras. They had a mid-court camera. And they had a camera. One other camera. And they just simled cast the radio feed. And they just had two cameras. Like you're telling me a majorly baseball team couldn't afford to have just, they're doing the games on the radio. Do the radio. And then have two cameras. And that's it. It wouldn't cost you that much money. And the angels aren't even doing it. As far as the amazing Crescan, many tunes years ago, we had the amazing Crescan on the show. It was a big deal. I got this alleging in magic and all that. And so we booked the amazing Crescan. And he gets on the air. And he's, you know, he's very sociable. Obviously, he's a magician.

14:04You got to, that's part of the stick. You can't be an introvert when you're a magician. And so, man, he gets on there. And he starts revealing things about me. Like he was a fan of, I know he was full of crap. But he was, he was a fan of mine. And he didn't really know who Looney was. And it was, it was hilarious. Because he was like, he's like, this legend, the amazing Crescan, who sold magic kits and did TV in the tonight show and all that. And there he was like regaling in my fun facts. And Looney got really annoyed by that. So anytime Looney annoyed, I smile. I smile when he gets annoyed. I don't know why that is. Well, we have, let's see. Oh, hold on a sec now. One second. By the way, I have a bone to pick with Mr. Looney. I texted him about two weeks ago. And I'm still waiting on a reply. Really? All right. I'll, I'll send him a message. Our boy, Mr. Irrigation, mailed a Malar ring for Looney. I have it. So I texted Looney.

15:04Hey, I need your mailing address. So I could forward this gift to you. And yeah, Brickets. All right. I'll bust his chops. All right. Good. Might have gone to, I don't know where it would have gone to. Yeah, exactly. What is it? Wasn't my text go to spam? I don't know. I don't know.

I believe I'm not 100% but I'm 99% sure that Marlene. Her dad is Jose. I remember Jose is from Northern California, but lives last we heard from Jose.

18:11He lives in Massachusetts. I think that is the Marlene we're dealing with right now. And she asked a very sweet question. If this is her, I believe it is her. She said which sport is better baseball or football? So this is a, you know, it's a basic question. But for Marlene, that's a great question. I'm very, that's a wonderful question Marlene. It's very subjective. Exactly. Baseballs and everyday thing, which is cool, right? Every day. And then football is more of an event, right? Danny, it's once a week. You build up to it. It's exciting because it's only one game a week. That's it. Your favorite team only plays once a week. Like we like the Dodgers. They play every single day. They get maybe one day off every two weeks. And that's that. And plus like just the way the games played. It's baseball is very kind of slow and methodical and footballs. There's more action.

19:11Although, although I don't know how much more action. I remember they did that study and they said, well, there's a lot of downtime in football too. But we look forward to it. Yeah. Baseball is like a marathon. It's like a novella soap opera. Good, good soap opera, especially when you follow your team day in and day out. And then football is like a sprint where you got a couple of Usain bolts racing to the finish line. Yeah, they're both great. And for our job, football is better because that's what pays the bills. But I love baseball. I've been checking out some of these spring training games going on. I saw a bunch of guys. I'll probably do a rant about this tonight on the radio. But Randy Johnson over the weekend just killed majorly baseball for allowing teams to get away. There's always been a rule. It's kind of one of those unwritten rules in baseball where to honor the fans in spring training. The road team is supposed to bring four or five regular players.

20:14I think you could get away with three, but I think they want four or five regular players from your everyday big league roster to be on the traveling contingent. Well, the players hate doing that because it screws them up the whole day because they got to take the bus to the game. And then they and I got to stay and wait and sometimes you're able to drive yourself. But it's it's an inconvenience. So lately the players have just said we're not the star players in baseball. They're too good for that. They make too much money for that. And so they haven't been doing it. And Randy Johnson called them out and said, what are you doing? Of course, the thing that blows me away about this, Danny, is the amount of fanboys that are out there, right? The toe suckers for the athletes are like, oh, yeah, it's okay. It's always spring training. You know how much they're charging for these spring training games? It's insane. Like some of these spring training games where even if the star players are playing, they're only playing like three or four innings. They're charging over $100 a ticket.

21:15I saw one match up in the grapefruit league was like $150 a ticket for spring training. That's ridiculous. Those tickets should be 15 bucks. Exactly. Back in the old day, back in my day, they were. So I just popped into my head, Ryan from Shrewsbury Mass, right? And he says, hello, boys. Ben, first of all, if I want to apologize for not answering when I called the inn, I was outside the plow truck. I heard you on the radio. So I raised back into the truck and grabbed my phone and I got disconnected. My question this week is, is I know you fast a lot? But what's your go-to snack if you had to pick? Since I was working the blizzard, I was downing bags of sunflower seeds. I think that's a low key, great snack food. Anyway, sorry for getting disconnected. That happens, right? It's okay. You're doing work. I understand. You got stuff going on. The plow truck, slightly more important than calling into the show. So I get that sunflower seeds, not my go-to snack.

22:18I love trail mix. If I go on a road trip to Arizona or up to San Francisco, I'll get a big thing of trail mix. But I don't like raisins. So it's got to have no raisins, nuts, chocolate, that kind of stuff. I like that. Popcorn is great. I mean, cheap, make it peanuts, things like that. What about you, Danny? Yeah, I go almonds, definitely pistachios. And there's a caramel trail mix. That's cool. Yeah, the trail mix is great. I just, the raisins, I feel like... And I don't want to go down that rant again, Danny. But it's like Mexican food. They fill a lot of the burritos with beans or Chinese food with rice, because it's cheaper. And I feel like the trail mix, the raisins. That didn't put too many peanuts in it. Yeah, there's a sweet spot. The ratio is very important of everything. I rotate nuts. How dare you?

23:19See here, Big Ben and Danny. Oh, this is from a quang in Ho Chi Minh Vietnam, guaranteed human. Just like the eye hard imaging, guaranteed human. Big Ben and Danny G, a daddy G, a Spotify and liquid death have teamed up to launch a wireless Bluetooth speaker, shape like a cremation urn. The eternal playlist urn is not really meant to hold ashes, but it is instead a collector's item and a seven inch by 11.4 inch urn with a Bluetooth speaker built into the lid. So it's a coin Spotify. The urn offers the world's first ever music streaming urn, making death a lot less boring. And then he says, what would you ever, what would your forever music streaming group be? Wait, instead of music streaming on ours, we could have some flips of sports talk radio we did on a loop.

24:23That's great. Amazing takes, Danny, right? Those perfect, perfect rants, perfect bits that we did. Best drops ever. Yeah, now you're talking. Now you're talking, you get some of the classic with genie and met. Yeah, can you imagine yours on a fireplace and you keep hearing my right hand was getting a workout? Yeah, my right hand was getting a workout or genie, genie and met for drops with. I'm a doctor. Yeah, that's great. Quang. Good old quang. Fuck it, Ben Mallor. Nobody visiting. What, what did that urn just say? Fucking thing, Mallor. Who's that? Make it solar or last forever? At least until. Al from the FCC writes and he says, welcome to the first day of March, otherwise known as clean up Australia day. Ben, you have said on many occasions that the podcast is not regulated

25:23by the Federal Communications Commission. And you are allowed to say bad words. So on that note, what did you really say when you awoke to the pungent perfume of moxies permeating piles of pumpkin on the marble floors of the palatial Mallor Manch? He says, well, there were, yeah, I mean, that was a lot of... Remember, I didn't notice it right when I woke up. When I woke up, it was fine because I was in the bedroom and it was sealed and then it was only when I woke up, got out of bed, walked, I opened the door and I took about two steps and then I was overwhelmed. It's like I was knocked back like there had been a massive explosion. And initially I thought, as I said in the podcast that I did about it, my rant, I thought it was like a pipe had broken or something. It was such a terrific smell. I thought there had to be some kind of plumbing issue. And in hindsight, I guess the outcome that it was just moxie eating way too much pumpkin

26:23and then having a reversal was the better outcome. But there was a lot of profanity. I think Danny Alf wants me to curse. I've really tried to tone back the cursing other than saying the word shit on the podcast because I do use the remote studio for the radio show and I don't want to get in the habit of saying bad stuff in the remote studio because at some point I'm going to forget whether I'm doing a podcast or the live radio show and then I'm going to have a lot of problems on my hands. So there was a tremendous amount of profanity Alf. There was, you know, this, I mean, I'm trying to think about all the most of them started with F. But then in moxie, I felt bad for moxie because moxie was, you know, it's like, what do you all may do? You idiots gave me too much pumpkin. You know, it's like vomiting. Anyway, Reggie from Detroit writes in. He says, Ben and Danny, Ben, I wanted to let you know, I really enjoyed Newby night this week. Why don't you do it more often on the overnight show?

27:23We need to find some new regulars for the show. That's from Reggie in Detroit. I agree Reggie. Great feedback. I thought it was a fun night, Newby night. And the reason we don't do it more often is because then it loses all of its charm and it's not special. And we're going to do it once a month. We're two for two so far. And I want you got Reggie. I want you to send me an email and you know, you whoever else is interested in this. Let me know if we get late in the month of March and I've forgotten. Say, hey, dummy, through the day of Newby night, I want to do one every month all year and that at least one. At least one. I mean, during the summer, we'll have more than one, but it's cool. It's the word I will use is therapeutic. I believe it is therapeutic. Sometimes, Danny, and you know this, you get into a rut. You think there's only the same 10 people or whatever that listen to the show that call in. And then it's nice to have a whole bunch of different people that you don't normally talk to that appreciate the show.

28:27So it's a wonderful thing. Love the newbie night. But that's why we don't do it. A Scott from Northern Kentucky writes in on the mailbag. He says, Ben and Danny, when when was last time you ran out of gas if ever? Also, is it just me, but why is it every time I get in my wife's car to drive? It's always on empty. He says, and then, oh, and don't be fooled by the lunatic blind Scott about going to a little pony convention. Men who go to this are called, uh, bronies. And they are twisted. Just Google. That's so Scott. In Northern Kentucky, I have never run out of gas. I have come very close. There was the time I was at I tried to time and I had about 10 miles when I got in the car. The gas station on my GPS said it was like nine miles away. And I was actually in Pasadena, coasting down the hill.

29:32And all the gas stations close at night. So I was like, I went by a couple of gas stations. They were closed. And I kept going. I was coasting. I had no, no gas. And I made it. I had to have like a mile to go by the time I rolled into that gas station, the one that I found. That was open. And I agree with you, Scott, in Northern Kentucky, my wife's car is almost always empty. And she just assumes I'm just the gas guy. This is a universal thing, Ben, because same here. And not only do they not like to fill their cars up with gas, but they also just use the inside of their car as a waste basket. It's not a pretty situation. It's not. And the gas thing. I mean, I don't mind getting gas. I don't hate it. So it's not that big a deal. But at least to me, you should always have enough where if there is an emergency and you need to get out of town, you got enough to get out of town. You know what I'm saying, Danny? You're supposed to keep that fuel tank filled up.

30:35Because what happens is when you get to the bottom of the tank, it starts getting the grit and gravel from that tank into your system. And that's not good. Yeah, it's not not great. And there are some things coming up here. Scott's in Northern Kentucky, which is Southern Cincinnati. So hopefully I'll meet Scott. I think I will. We do the Ohio meet and greet where we are kind of looking at some dates for Boston and Ohio. And it looks like, you know, I'm not 100% sure I'm both, but like one will be in April. Probably one will be in May or June. Just to give you guys a heads up, I will let you know when we have firm. From dates out back, John and Joanna from SoCal right into this big band and Danny G. I am so sick of these Seahawk fans like J.J. and Renton pretending like the two points that the refs gave them did not mean anything. I was watching that game and I was so confused as everyone else was to what happened bad job by the officials.

31:40Talk about that ram game and the regular season on that Thursday night. Yeah. Yeah. The Rams have something to say about this with the rules committee. Yeah. Good. It's ridiculous. If everyone stops on the play, you play to the whistle. The referee blew the whistle. The play is done at that point. You can't give two points after the whistle. And they did. It's so stupid. This is not a the mail back question. We can all agree that ranch dressing is the devil's blood. And I know bad. Speak for yourself, buddy. I know Ben is not a salad guy, but are there any salad dressings that you like? That's from Outback John. Yes, John. Yes. I will have on my burger thousand island dressing as a topping on my burger. And the greatest honey mustard dip sauce you can buy at a grocery store is called Ken's. It's actually a salad dressing. It's Ken's honey mustard. And it is the bomb.com. So those are the two that I would go to.

32:42And sometimes as a marinade, I normally make chicken, a big, a big giant thing, a chicken for the week and then cut it up into little pieces and have that as our food. So I'll do that. And I'll use Italian dressing as the marinade on that. So those are the three that I would use. I don't eat salad. I, me and myself, Puccana Cua and Al Michaels are all anti-saluts. So we don't believe in the salad. Danny, your favorite salad dressing? Cesar is really good. A chicken Caesar salad. I've not had that. I've not had that. Yeah, Caesar is good. And then Balsamic is a good one. If you're ever out on the West Coast, Ricali, great barbecue restaurant. We have here called Wood Ranch.

All right, a scot from Florida right since it's been in Danny G. I live in God's waiting room, Florida. And I am not sure there is any worse situation than getting behind an old lady at the cold cuts counter at the supermarket. They always ask for samples. They want like a quarter pound slice thin of eight different items, when all I want is one easy item that would take a minute. Oh God, you're a preacher to the choir here, Scott. I go to the deli. Usually every other week, I'll get like a pound of thin cut pastrami. And oh, the nightmare. I should do a rant about that. I mean, every week,

37:48I go to the, I don't go every week, but every time I go to the deli, there's always something. Whether it's the person behind the counter that you know doesn't want to be there or the, as, as Scott referenced, that old woman, just in general, the grocery store, like I, I feel like there's these people that have nothing they've no outlet and I feel bad for them, but you're really effing up my day. I just want to get in and out. I don't want to sit there and have a conversation. Because there's no self-checkout. You, you are forced in to a conversation with the people at Trader Joe's. And it's always like, it's so annoying. But I feel your pain. He says, I feel your pain. It comes down to walking away or blowing up 20 minutes of my life for my lunch. He says, his LA traffic, like the cold cuts line every day that is Scott from Florida.

38:48Yeah, it is, it is a nightmare. It would be fair. I mean, it's terrible and boss, and it's terrible in New York. I mean, there's a lot of, every major city, it's, it's terrible. I'm lucky on the overnight. I don't really have to deal with it very much. Danny, you've got like the worst possible shift for traffic you could have because of the scale. Yeah. So you're, you're getting it both ways. Yeah, it sucks going there, and it sucks even worse going home in the evening. It's not. Yeah, it's, it's exactly, Steve from Tampa, says, hey, Ben and Danny G, a polarizing issue this week with all going, that's going on in the world. Are you okay with President Trump serving McDonald's to the Olympic hockey heroes at the White House? China. There were some people upset by this. And that's Steve, and yeah, yeah, I don't know. It hasn't even been doing that the whole time, like, what's the big deal? Yeah, that's been an ongoing thing. You know, eat. I think people were surprised by this the first time he did it. Remember, it was a college championship team

39:49that he first served. Yes. McDonald's two back in the day. Yeah, he loves McDonald's. It's a great American company, and he served double cheeseburgers to the, I guess, at the White House. And, but yeah, it's one of those things, Danny. If you're on the other side of the aisle, if you're a partisan, if Trump served prime rib to the US Olympic hockey team, the story would have been Trump wasting tax dollars buying prime rib for US hockey team. You know, it's a, whatever he does, they're going to kill. So it's like, that's just the way, the way it is in that political world. But it's fine. I was listening. The guys look like they were having fun, so. Which upset people. They were having a good time. Kevin, from Columbus, Ohio, writes, and he says, hey, Ben, and Danny, you guys, for the Ohio meet and greet, if you can make it out here later this month, at the Great Wolf Lodge, here in Ohio, they're going to be selling a ranch dressing milkshake.

40:49Sir, let's go. Yeah, you want to, you go out there, you should do a remote, Danny. Yeah, that sounds delicious. The resort for a limited time, ranch milkshake, it says at its locations. Is there a Southern, I think there's a Southern California location. Anyway, I'm saying that because I know how much you hate ranch. But honestly, as much as I do like ranch, I'm not going to have a frickin' milkshake made out of ranch. Here it is, Danny. You got vanilla ice cream blended with real ranch dressing. It doesn't stop there. They've got topped with crispy chicken, carrots, celery, whipped cream, and finished with a sweet, salty lime rime. Yeah, a rim rather rim. So there you go. Diabies. Yeah. All right. Kevin, why don't you go eat two of those and then when you're done vomiting, let me know how it is. Yeah. No. Randy from Dallas writes in. He says, Ben, you talk about science and those things merging

41:50with the real world. They say cutting-edge AI-controlled cockroaches that carry cutting-edge technology. Apparently it's real. Military use. Cockroaches have been created for military use here. So, okay. I don't know what you want me to do with that, Randy, but I guess that's wonderful. And everything's straight up a science fiction movie or a video game and all that. I mean, you've got a bunch of other ones. I don't know. I mean, we've done enough here, Lance from the Bay Area, sent a viral video clip. Did you see this, Danny? The construction clip from somewhere in, I think this is in Asia. Were the guys in the porta-potty and the excavator destroys the porta-potty while the guy's taking a... I have seen this. Yeah. I actually went not that, but I was at a bills game. The only bills game I've ever been to.

42:51And... This guy went in there to the porta-potty with a Miami Dolphin jersey on. It was not... I was not at a bills' dolphin. It was a bills' Titans game, but it was the guy went in there with a dolphin jersey on and they tipped the thing over and it... He came out with a brown jersey on. It was not... Not good, Danny. It was horrific. That guy could have died, though, in the video. Because that... He went in as two, and he came out as to Sean Watson. Oh, yeah. But the porta-potty... That excavator almost hit the guy in the head. Well, he was dropping a dose. That's... It almost... It almost looked like AI. Was it AI or was it real? I... I don't know. I didn't check it, did you? I... No. I assume everything is fake. No. I know. The thing that drives me nuts is that some dudes have come up with the fake women on the...

43:54And guys... Guys are so stupid. They're making money as influencers and it's just AI. Did you see... Man, did you see the story from the sports world a few days ago where high school kids are using AI to fake their football hates that they're sending to colleges? Yeah. Oh, God. I don't blame them, man. So now these scouts... They're gonna have to see it with their own eyes. They're not gonna know what's real and what's fake. Yeah. Wow. No. Welcome to the world we live in. On that note, Danny, we will get out. I will be back tonight tonight to begin the new week on the radio kicking off the week-day lineup, bouncing off the walls. No way I on the overnight show, guaranteed human. That's right, baby. As long as I heart keeps that slogan, guaranteed human. And they didn't say guaranteed not voice track, but guaranteed human. I'm kidding. But we will be there tonight all night and then all week,

44:54no days off this week, no days off for the foreseeable future. And so, Danny, what is your schedule like? Everything normal for you guys? Normal Monday through Friday afternoon drive for us on the Covino and Rich show that is 2 to 4 p.m. on the west side. 5 to 7 p.m. in beautiful St. Louis, Missouri. All right. And we'll be on tonight. I'll be on 11 p.m. 2 a.m. Monday in the east and have a great day. Enjoy yourself. We'll talk to you next time. Later, excavator. Got a murder. Got to go.

This is Chelsea Haller from Dear Chelsea. After the big game like most people, I kept thinking about the commercials and there was one that stayed with me. It was from the Blue Square Alliance against hate and it wasn't loud or flashy. It showed a Jewish kid being targeted at school and another student who chose not to ignore it. As someone who was Jewish, that moment felt very real to me. Not dramatic, just familiar. And what struck me was how clearly it showed that hate doesn't always announce itself. But the impact is still huge. If you saw the Blue Square spot during the big game, it's worth thinking about. And if you want to show support, sharing the Blue Square is one small way to do that.
