Speaker 1: That's right, ninety seven one the Eagle. Everybody loves free cash.
Speaker 1: That's your chance to win it. This is the world
Speaker 1: famous Ben and Skin Show, and we're glad to have
Speaker 1: you on board today.
Speaker 2: So much to get into.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a fun, fun show, and we
Speaker 1: appreciate you making us a part of your daily routine.
Speaker 2: Just now.
Speaker 1: We're in a really unique situation in that at the
Speaker 1: last minute I decided to go get coffee. Thank you,
Speaker 1: by the way, you're welcome. Guy's Coffee's delicious.
Speaker 2: Ben.
Speaker 1: At the last minute, I was like, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: get coffee and I could since see Skin and I
Speaker 1: have known each other since nineteen eighty two, so very
Speaker 1: little had to be said. He goes, hey, can you
Speaker 1: I don't want to know, and then you just shut down,
Speaker 1: didn't I didn't want to put a lot of pressure
Speaker 1: on you. But it's like, all of these Metallica songs
Speaker 1: are seven minutes.
Speaker 2: It is wild.
Speaker 3: That's been my biggest revelation of working at The Eagle.
Speaker 3: It's just that every Metallica song is over five minutes.
Speaker 1: I had no clue they're not a singles band, and
Speaker 1: yet somehow they are. It's amazing. We would like them
Speaker 1: for donating what like five hundred million, the LA five
Speaker 1: hundred million, maybe not that much million.
Speaker 2: Hold on, I hit the breaking news I hit the
Speaker 2: breaking news center. I was trying to look it up,
Speaker 2: but I knew I wouldn't have time to get to it.
Speaker 1: Speak up, then, I need to turn you into Pinatta
Speaker 1: now because of one hundred thousand, that's.
Speaker 2: Like a five hundred people one who wants to be
Speaker 2: a millionaire.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, I think I donated five hundred thousand.
Speaker 1: I love you, Metallica. I am never on the fly
Speaker 1: on the radio. I've never had a problem with math.
Speaker 1: I never unless it involves you too.
Speaker 2: Do you remember that?
Speaker 1: All? I remember? I think about it every day.
Speaker 2: What did I say? I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: we just grew my one hundred thousand.
Speaker 1: Followers or maybe people. Wait, so we're going down because
Speaker 1: you just said another number? Yeah, ago, Yeah, it happens.
Speaker 2: I love it, and so I was gonna rush down
Speaker 2: there and grab a coffee.
Speaker 1: Hold on, I'm actually now disappointed that Metallic only donated
Speaker 1: five times. I feel like they've done a lot, they
Speaker 1: a lot more.
Speaker 2: They could have earned way more.
Speaker 1: I realized they're a Bay Area band, but I feel like.
Speaker 3: So the twelve California sports franchises and the.
Speaker 2: Big Yeah, I just looked at my watch, like soon
Speaker 2: is it's over. Don't worry interesting, You're doing great. They
Speaker 2: haven't held fields guitar, so it's fine. That's rue. Don't
Speaker 2: patron us her, dude, that is sexist.
Speaker 1: Hey, Katie, don't kiss up to Ben. Be nice to Christina.
Speaker 3: The twelve California sports franchises all got together, the Angels,
Speaker 3: the Lakers, the Sharks. What about the Ducks and that
Speaker 3: twelve of them? The Ducks are one of them nice
Speaker 3: And as a grand total, they all donated eight million
Speaker 3: dollars and everyone was like, hold on twelve teams and
Speaker 3: they're like, well, the WNBA team they don't.
Speaker 2: Really have as much, right, they didn't.
Speaker 3: Really, and the hockey teams aren't doing as well.
Speaker 1: And honestly, like the Lakers, that is the Bus families income.
Speaker 1: It's very weird. Usually a major sports franchise is just
Speaker 1: a piece of someone's income. Like for example, real famously,
Speaker 1: George Schen owned the New Orleans team and had to
Speaker 1: sell it during Katrina. Like he's like, I'm out man.
Speaker 1: So the Bus family They're totally depending on how the
Speaker 1: Lakers do. So you know, I get it. It's fine.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like these eight teams are Metallica.
Speaker 1: So I'm going to go down there and get a coffee. Now,
Speaker 1: keep in mind, I thought I was dying last week
Speaker 1: in a basketball game.
Speaker 2: Heart palpitations, too much coffee.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and hey, here was the day I was supposed
Speaker 1: to go to the doctor to get my heart checked out.
Speaker 1: We got snowed out. Oh, no appointment, yep, my heart
Speaker 1: checked out? What are you here for?
Speaker 4: Ben?
Speaker 2: My heart?
Speaker 3: Heart?
Speaker 2: My heart? Is he saying?
Speaker 3: I heart?
Speaker 2: I don't understand.
Speaker 1: He's talking about his own ticker.
Speaker 2: Saying it that way.
Speaker 1: And so I was trying to play basketball, and that
Speaker 1: day I realized I drank like twenty seven cups of
Speaker 1: coffee or whatever. So I think it was heart palpitations
Speaker 1: from that from that rather yep. So the only way
Speaker 1: I could really check this out was to play basketball
Speaker 1: again and see if I felt like I was gonna die.
Speaker 2: Yeah, science experiment and get back out there.
Speaker 1: So wait, and today as a basketball day for you, right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the game's canceled tonight. Oh what happened? But I played
Speaker 1: on Sunday all right, and I felt fine good. I
Speaker 1: was horrible, but I didn't feel like I was gonna
Speaker 1: have a hard text. I'm like, yeah, it must have
Speaker 1: been the coffee. Yeah, if you have on Sunday, so
Speaker 1: very little. I've cut way back. In fact, I called
Speaker 1: Java John all right, Yeah, this Java John used to
Speaker 1: be a big advertiser on the station, Addison Coffee Roasters,
Speaker 1: and I got I've been hooked on Java John's coffee,
Speaker 1: Like that's all I like to drink.
Speaker 2: And my wife hates it because she has to grind
Speaker 2: up the beans.
Speaker 1: What do you mean she has to I just realized it.
Speaker 2: When I said it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just so natural for you to say it
Speaker 1: that you didn't even realize what you were saying.
Speaker 2: It was like an interception the ball.
Speaker 1: I had released the ball, but the defensive player hadn't
Speaker 1: caught it yet. And I was like, oh no, I like,
Speaker 1: when you wake up, can't get out of bed and
Speaker 1: grind my coffee?
Speaker 3: I know you're also you know you can order it
Speaker 3: already ground like you don't have, it's not as good
Speaker 3: and that's less work for cat.
Speaker 1: So at one point, at one point along the way,
Speaker 1: the guys that as some coffee roasters accidentally set us
Speaker 1: beans and they weren't ground down, and so I went
Speaker 1: to them. I was like, hey, my my wife said,
Speaker 1: you guys accidentally sense the beans. They're like, oh, it's
Speaker 1: so much fresher that way. It's true. And I was
Speaker 1: like really and there all right, and they were, in fact,
Speaker 1: since you're endorsing us, here's a free high end coffee grinder. Nice.
Speaker 2: They just gave me one. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I took that taste the difference, could you. So
Speaker 1: I took it home and I could taste the difference. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And so every once in a while, my wife goes,
Speaker 1: do you still endorse Java John's like why, she was, God,
Speaker 1: because I'm in.
Speaker 2: There grinding beans like it takes so long Jesus, grinding
Speaker 2: and grinding and grinding and grinding. So I called, uh.
Speaker 2: I did call Java John this week and I was like.
Speaker 1: Hey, man, I oh. I had a friend that I
Speaker 1: played basketball with. He goes, man, the same thing used
Speaker 1: to have to me. I guess you get heart palpitation
Speaker 1: when I played. And I used to drink coffee all
Speaker 1: the time because I drink pots of coffee and I
Speaker 1: go I carry around a pot of coffee, and.
Speaker 2: He goes, I switched to decaf.
Speaker 1: Okay, and no, brother, no problems, all right, So he
Speaker 1: switched to decaf. So I called Java John. I was like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: if I switched to decaf, is that like cool?
Speaker 2: Is that? Well? I notice the difference?
Speaker 1: He goes, No, you, he goes, In fact, there's this
Speaker 1: office that I work at and sometimes we just switch
Speaker 1: it to decaf.
Speaker 2: No one ever knows. They don't even say anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so just uh so, anyways, I'm gonna switch
Speaker 1: to decaf, right, okay, So I say of that to say,
Speaker 1: I get a little like this is the first late
Speaker 1: coffee I've had in a while, okay, since I almost died.
Speaker 1: And so I was going down there to get it,
Speaker 1: and I really thought I was going to die in
Speaker 1: that game, Like I thought I was gonna faint, like
Speaker 1: a couple of times. I almost fainted, like literally a dizzy,
Speaker 1: staggering around and kept playing like an idiot. No, it's good.
Speaker 1: So the Sunday I played and no problem, I didn't.
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, I'm not about to die, and
Speaker 1: so I'm like, okay, I must be fine. So today,
Speaker 1: back to a mid day coffee, I don't have my
Speaker 1: decaf up here yet, so I don't really have a
Speaker 1: plan for that. When is cat going to grind the
Speaker 1: beans and get it up here to the office. So
Speaker 1: when I went down there, So when I went down
Speaker 1: there to go get a coffee, Skin was like, hey,
Speaker 1: can I don't.
Speaker 2: And so I was like, all right, he's asking for
Speaker 2: a coffee.
Speaker 1: But I didn't really have a lot of time because
Speaker 1: when I left this studio, done in there and get coffee,
Speaker 1: I had about four minutes, right, and it takes a
Speaker 1: minute to walk down there. Yeah, you were halfway through
Speaker 1: a Metallica song. And so I got in there and
Speaker 1: one of our sales guys was in there, and I
Speaker 1: didn't want to be rude, but I was like, he
Speaker 1: had a boot on, like he had hurt his foot.
Speaker 1: So I had to ask about that. Now you didn't,
Speaker 1: but I had two coffees. I had two coffees to make.
Speaker 1: He doesn't understand the rules of life. You do not
Speaker 1: have to know that guy. He works in radio and
Speaker 1: understands that you're about to be on the air, and
Speaker 1: so he ended up. I'm holding two coffees. I have
Speaker 1: about thirty seconds to get down the hallway. And get
Speaker 1: on the radio and do this important broadcasting. And he
Speaker 1: was still talking, so I didn't know. I didn't want
Speaker 1: to just walk off because I thought that would.
Speaker 2: Have been rude. Yeah, tell him to walk with you. Yeah, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: That she's it's funny. Good. He's got a boot. But
Speaker 1: there's been many times where I've been in the kitchen
Speaker 1: and there's a salesperson. I go, I'm on the air,
Speaker 1: walk with me. Okay, nice, but he was understand the business,
Speaker 1: but he could barely walk. See you later.
Speaker 2: But he was telling me the story of how it happened.
Speaker 1: Just say, hey, man, I'll get part two of that
Speaker 1: story and some of the other breaks coming up, or
Speaker 1: you know, send a long email to his credit. This
Speaker 1: is where I'll give him credit. He had a story
Speaker 1: and I was like, he goes, but I caught it?
Speaker 1: What but I caught it? And I said, what, I
Speaker 1: caught the ball? And I guess I had missed that story.
Speaker 1: He told you the whole roa guess. Oh, okay, so
Speaker 1: there was a sports so you ignored the first half
Speaker 1: of the story.
Speaker 2: But listen to how bad this is. Huh. He is
Speaker 2: running in a field and playing football and he's fifty
Speaker 2: something years old. What does he do?
Speaker 1: And he there was a giant power outlet, it's outdoor
Speaker 1: power outlet, just in the grass and he hit it
Speaker 1: so hard on his foot that he broke his foot
Speaker 1: while playing. But to that man's credit, he caught that ball,
Speaker 1: I mean in a field. And then he goes, uh, hey,
Speaker 1: you guys are doing Dave and Busters on Monday. I go, actually,
Speaker 1: we're off for MLK Day. Wait, but we're doing it, right,
Speaker 1: But we're doing it.

Speaker 1: I fell in love. Yeah, it's it's cool. David Busters

Speaker 4: My day.
Speaker 1: Christina had played basketball. We all have dabbled in basketball
Speaker 1: over the years. This would be interesting. How many free
Speaker 1: throws do you think we can make? Each of us
Speaker 1: can make out of ten attempts? Out of ten? Can
Speaker 1: we do? Can we do it this way? This is
Speaker 1: Jerry Wade staple. This is my when me and my
Speaker 1: dad would do shooting contest, all of his shooting contests.
Speaker 1: We're shoot to you make shoot to you miss?
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay.
Speaker 1: So it's like if it takes you five to make one,
Speaker 1: you're still shooting. In the second you make it, that's
Speaker 1: your streak. So if we did shoot team, make shoot
Speaker 1: team miss a streak. You gotta have a streak.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: I mean we can do shoot ten free throws too,
Speaker 1: but she so six in a row after you make miss? No, no,
Speaker 1: the streak, I'll make two or three? Oh man, aim higher, buddy,
Speaker 1: I don't play basketball anymore like all of oh Ben does. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm not that good of a free throw shooter. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and we don't go to the free throw line during
Speaker 2: our pickup game.
Speaker 1: All right, and one do we actually do you really
Speaker 1: because you shoot free throws to see if you can
Speaker 1: play in the next game. Oh yeah, okay, to get
Speaker 1: in a game. Yeah, I think regardless of how we like,
Speaker 1: if we do ten free throws, I'll make ten. If
Speaker 1: we do shooteam, if we do shoot team, make shoot
Speaker 1: team miss, I'll close the place down. I wonder if
Speaker 1: I wonder if we could do figure out some way
Speaker 1: to do something for charity, pac man. I'm zero interesting
Speaker 1: helping anybody out. Let's figure out if we can do that.
Speaker 1: Maybe see if a listener can beat us. It feels
Speaker 1: like a lot to string together in six days. How
Speaker 1: about the well, let's get Billy on that. He's doing
Speaker 1: nothing but ten care of his foot. How about the
Speaker 1: charity of man. I would love to be able to
Speaker 1: put more money involved in prize picks. Yeah right, that's
