Speaker 1: Kabooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the a.
Speaker 3: Reway and here we are back in the podcast Ojo
Speaker 3: The Fifth Hour with Ben Malor and Danny G. Radio,
Speaker 3: because hey, four hours a night not enough.
Speaker 1: Eight days a week you hear me on the Ben
Speaker 1: Malor Show.
Speaker 3: What a great name for a show Monday through Friday
Speaker 3: on the East Coast two am till six.
Speaker 1: Am in the morning.
Speaker 3: But if you're on the West Coast, it's a late
Speaker 3: night show Sun through Thursday. We start at eleven pm
Speaker 3: in the West and go till three in the morning
Speaker 3: in the Pacific time zone.
Speaker 1: And you can hear Danny G.
Speaker 3: The stylings of Danny G making Covino and Rich sound
Speaker 3: good on many Fox Sports radio affiliates all over the country.
Speaker 1: And when can people hear that show? Danny G. Covino
Speaker 1: and Rich.
Speaker 4: That is two to four pm West Coast time Monday
Speaker 4: through Friday five to seven pm on the East coast.
Speaker 3: And for my money, that is the perfect shift. Two hours,
Speaker 3: not too long, not too short, two hours and that.
Speaker 1: Wonderful, wonderful in the middle of the day.
Speaker 3: Maybe a little too much traffic when you get done,
Speaker 3: but yeah.
Speaker 4: And Covino always jokes that his taste in sports is
Speaker 4: like a ninety year old white guy. He loves boxing
Speaker 4: and baseball.
Speaker 1: Does he like horse racing?
Speaker 4: No, I don't think so, but baseball in boxing. One
Speaker 4: of the reasons that we're in Vegas right now, plastic
Speaker 4: last night, did a Russian bot help you watch it?
Speaker 3: I would, of course I would never It would be
Speaker 3: wrong to illegally stream.
Speaker 1: That would be inappropriate. You should never do that.
Speaker 3: But let's just say I was able to use a
Speaker 3: chip in the back of my brain to figure out
Speaker 3: how to possibly watch the fight.
Speaker 1: I had it.
Speaker 3: It was like I was dreaming watching it and people
Speaker 3: were speaking weird languages, but I was not.
Speaker 1: It was not illegal, I don't think and are.
Speaker 4: You guys It's the same chip that gets you held
Speaker 4: up through customs.
Speaker 1: Now on your way out of Vegas.
Speaker 3: Are you going to drive by the site of the
Speaker 3: new Athletics stadium, the new ballpark for your childhood team,
Speaker 3: the Oakland Athletics Dandy g As. It was announced earlier
Speaker 3: in the week that A's have made the purchase. They
Speaker 3: are gonna move. Barring some kind of litigation or some
Speaker 3: kind of snaffu. At the very end, it's going to happen.
Speaker 3: They are going to be the Las Vegas Athletics.
Speaker 4: Wild but Ben, their logo has been ruined in Oakland.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure yeah, wink wink, not not.
Speaker 3: And now the Athletics name though, are they going to
Speaker 3: keep the athletics name? That's been around since nineteen oh one.
Speaker 3: That's one of the original names in all of sports.
Speaker 3: And I think if somebody had fallen and they had
Speaker 3: a concussion and.
Speaker 1: They were in a coma.
Speaker 3: Let's say they went to the coma in like the
Speaker 3: year two thousand and then they came out of the
Speaker 3: coma and then they looked around and the Warriors aren't
Speaker 3: in Oakland, They're they're over in San Francisco. Said, well, okay,
Speaker 3: that's close enough. Well what about the Raiders, Well, the
Speaker 3: Raiders move all the time, So that's what's a big deal.
Speaker 3: So oh yeah, they're in Vegas and the athletics.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and their daughter is this thing called an Instagram model?
Speaker 3: What are they gonna do with the colise? Are they
Speaker 3: gonna tear that thing down? The old baseball stadium in Oakland?
Speaker 4: I don't know. That's a good question, man. Maybe they
Speaker 4: could make it a homeless encampment.
Speaker 3: Well, it's already got vermin, They've already got critters and
Speaker 3: whatnot living there.
Speaker 4: All the stupid bullshit politics that have gone on in
Speaker 4: that part of the Bay Area. Somebody needs to go
Speaker 4: into the East Bay with a huge fire hose and
Speaker 4: clean that fucking city up, like, for real, for real,
Speaker 4: clean it up.
Speaker 1: How is it stayed? I don't understand.
Speaker 3: With the price of real estate in northern California. I
Speaker 3: know the tech boom is not quite as big as
Speaker 3: it was and some people are being laid off, but.
Speaker 1: It's still very valuable real estate.
Speaker 3: How is Oakland managed to still be a cesspool and
Speaker 3: just a shit show?
Speaker 5: I'll tell you how.
Speaker 4: All the money is up in the hills there. So
Speaker 4: the Oakland Hills is multi million dollar homes, But then
Speaker 4: the flats of the city are just beat up and
Speaker 4: have been disgusting for years. And the quote unquote city
Speaker 4: leaders have allowed this shit to go on for way
Speaker 4: too long.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the rich people, My experience is to get
Speaker 3: to the hills, you have to drive through those neighborhoods
Speaker 3: to get to the really nice houses.
Speaker 4: So oh no, they're side streets. Oh okay, they're not
Speaker 4: driving downtown.
Speaker 1: Not going through the hood.
Speaker 5: They're not driving through the hood.
Speaker 1: I got you, all right, it's this bag.

Speaker 3: new people to join the electorate and real fifth Hour
Speaker 3: at gmail dot com. First one up is alf the
Speaker 3: alien opiner from Springfield, mass Right.
Speaker 1: Since it has been.
Speaker 3: Last week, I asked about adding a fun facts element
Speaker 3: to the Fifth Hour podcast, and like a train seal,
Speaker 3: you went turboton. Last week's question about chinchilla hunting was genius.
Speaker 1: When you and Danny g went.
Speaker 3: Straight to the hot take kitchen and grab some fun
Speaker 3: facts garlic and added that to the podcast. Stew Alf says,
Speaker 3: your ability to spice things up with fun facts not
Speaker 3: only enhance the podcast, but somehow also made your overnight
Speaker 3: show better. Screw the Voice of Treason Eddie Judas Garcia,
Speaker 3: I say keep them coming, and it's from Alf the
Speaker 3: Alien opiner.
Speaker 1: Alf.
Speaker 3: Do you remember when I did the Blitz with Tom
Speaker 3: Looney on the weekends and during baseball all season to
Speaker 3: try to dress things up. Rather than give the same
Speaker 3: baseball scores, we just started giving fun facts from different
Speaker 3: cities around the country. We were like white Out was
Speaker 3: invented in Dallas where the Rangers are playing the Angels today,
Speaker 3: and we were, we were having a great time.
Speaker 6: I learned a lot the Milwaukee Brewers, not far away
Speaker 6: from where the modern typewriter I think was put together,
Speaker 6: and the keyboard and yeah, yeah, it was pretty good.
Speaker 3: And all the letters I learned, all the letters to
Speaker 3: spell typewriter are on the top line of the keyboard
Speaker 3: because the typewriter salesman was trying to impress people, so
Speaker 3: that's why they put the letters to typewriter all on
Speaker 3: that type that top line.
Speaker 1: If you look at your keyboard.
Speaker 4: And I have a couple of fun facts there about Alf.
Speaker 4: Did you know the show is a huge hit in Germany?
Speaker 1: The city.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the city limit sign of the German city Alf
Speaker 4: was stolen so many times times that the city ultimately
Speaker 4: stocked up on a bunch of signs. That way they
Speaker 4: always have one handy.
Speaker 1: Wow and Alf.
Speaker 3: To think that all these years later, Alf is such
Speaker 3: a big star on this show. And we thought Alf
Speaker 3: got canceled and all that. But Alf is bigger than
Speaker 3: ever on this show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, any other fun.
Speaker 4: He had his own set of trading cards from Tops
Speaker 4: in the late eighties. A few of the cards were
Speaker 4: parody sports cards Oulia baseball.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I guess that was some alien baseball.
Speaker 3: Oh who knew? Yeah, this probably goes back over ten years.
Speaker 3: We started doing those fun facts and I loved it.
Speaker 3: I learned so much stuff that I didn't know. And
Speaker 3: I love geography in history. Mixing that together and all that,
Speaker 3: it was great. I remember some of those fun facts
Speaker 3: in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: The slinky was created in Philadelphia.
Speaker 5: Did you know that they didn't know that?
Speaker 1: That's a fun fact. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Do you know Elf had eight stomachs?
Speaker 3: I did not know that the first sun tam lotionan
Speaker 3: was invented by a pharmacist in Miami Beach in nineteen
Speaker 3: forty four. Before nineteen forty four. No suntannoce.
Speaker 1: That's a fun fact, right.
Speaker 5: Oh man. There were some red people walking around back then.
Speaker 3: The guy's name was Benjamin Benjamin Green, a guy that
Speaker 3: came up with the first sun tank locean.
Speaker 1: This is one.
Speaker 3: I think Looney made this up, but Looney claims this
Speaker 3: is true. He would say that the monkey wrench was
Speaker 3: invented in Baltimore, that the monkey wrench was invented Baltimore
Speaker 3: in the eighteen fifties, So we could.
Speaker 1: Go on on. I've got endless amounts.
Speaker 3: Kansas City has more barbecue restaurants per capita than any
Speaker 3: other city in the nation.
Speaker 1: That's another fun fact. So moving on.
Speaker 3: Jennifer in Richmond, Virginia writes in says, hello, Ben and
Speaker 3: Danny G question for both of you, was there ever
Speaker 3: a time that you ran into a toxic X or
Speaker 3: a one time date that ended badly? They're doing not yours.
Speaker 3: How did you react? This happened to me two weeks ago.
Speaker 3: Jennifer says, I did not fully bite my tongue, but
Speaker 3: I did a hold back on the sucker punch. My
Speaker 3: words hit him just as well, though, WHOA.
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 3: So I'm trying to think here, Danny, any awkward situations
Speaker 3: with an X that did not end well? I'm trying
Speaker 3: to off the top of my head. There's nothing really
Speaker 3: like that outrageous. Usually I'm the one getting dumped in
Speaker 3: the past relationship. So I was like, whatever, you know,
Speaker 3: move on, I'm good and put my tail between my
Speaker 3: legs and I'll go see if I can find somebody
Speaker 3: else to hang out with.
Speaker 4: Anything with you, Danny, Yeah, I'm thinking back about a decade.
Speaker 4: I saw a country concert in Las Vegas and I
Speaker 4: was with a new girlfriend at the time.
Speaker 5: We were having fun.
Speaker 4: We were like in the second row in the third
Speaker 4: row right behind us. You know, you look around you
Speaker 4: as you're dancing and having fun at a concert and
Speaker 4: there's the ex girlfriend with her ugly friend next to her.
Speaker 4: Thank God, it wasn't awkward for me because I was
Speaker 4: with a new significant other. This girl was with her
Speaker 4: ugly friend who used to get into our business all
Speaker 4: the time.
Speaker 1: Now, did this was this girl like really? India? Like,
Speaker 1: was it one of those deals or were you more
Speaker 1: into her? No?
Speaker 4: She was really into me, but she had like a
Speaker 4: love triangle going on. She had her ex still involved
Speaker 4: because she had kids in the picture, and so like
Speaker 4: her dude was always getting in the middle of our
Speaker 4: stuff and her girlfriends meddling.
Speaker 1: Yeah, interlopers, the term is interlopers. That's what was going on. Uh.
Speaker 3: Yes, I wish I had a good story because that
Speaker 3: would mean I had more success dating back in the
Speaker 3: day that I had that that happened.
Speaker 1: But no, I mean I I got.
Speaker 3: I did get an occasional message from an ex girlfriend, like.
Speaker 1: You're never gonna make it in the radio business. You know,
Speaker 1: you're you should do something else.
Speaker 3: You know, you worked because I was working weekend overnights,
Speaker 3: and so I would occasionally.
Speaker 1: You're never gonna find anyone. You'll have no relationships and
Speaker 1: you'll bubba that.
Speaker 4: Guys like that Eagles movie Invincible where the girl his
Speaker 4: ex wife rather wrote the note saying he would never
Speaker 4: amount to anything, and he kept the note and had
Speaker 4: it at his locker.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean there was one one woman I
Speaker 3: dated briefly, and she was convinced that I.
Speaker 1: Got to get out of radio. They you're buried. No
Speaker 1: one's ever gonna you know you're never going to go
Speaker 1: anywhere that whole thing.
Speaker 3: And you know I managed to survive. I don't know
Speaker 3: that all I might not last radio the ray room.
Speaker 3: Who knows you ever know the way things are going?
Speaker 4: Oh, come on, now you are the great Ben Mallards,
Speaker 4: So in your face botch.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 3: Next up, this is the on the mail bag, Danny.
Speaker 3: This is the proposal, not a wedding proposal, but it
Speaker 3: is a proposal and it comes from our friend David
Speaker 3: in Winter Park, Florida with Roscoe the parrot. He says, Ben,
Speaker 3: will you be my partner in the twenty twenty three
Speaker 3: Circa Million football contest. He says the contest is in
Speaker 3: August of twenty twenty three in Las Vegas under the
Speaker 3: alias Malar Militia. David says he's willing to pay the
Speaker 3: one thousand dollars entry fee and the three hundred dollars
Speaker 3: proxy fee. He says, all you have to do is
Speaker 3: meet me at the Circus Sports Book and sign the
Speaker 3: entry for him. He then gives the name of the
Speaker 3: person that will be the proxy. I've actually heard of
Speaker 3: this person. I'm familiar with their work, he says. We
Speaker 3: can do this around August twenty fifth to twenty six.
Speaker 3: He says, if we do this, your radio show on
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio will be the first national sports talk
Speaker 3: show to ever be in a major Las Vegas football contest.
Speaker 3: I believe if we join forces, we can make history,
Speaker 3: he says, we will.
Speaker 1: Shock the world. How about that.
Speaker 3: Cannot find a better partner than you. There you go
Speaker 3: give me the response. So what do you think, Danny
Speaker 3: think I should should give my blessings? As far as
Speaker 3: I know, it's no money out of my pocket. I'm
Speaker 3: just giving my name and my time in a trip
Speaker 3: to Vegas and I get to hang out with David
Speaker 3: and Roscoe the Parrot and then tick games during the
Speaker 3: NFL season, which I do anyway as a amateur handicapper
Speaker 3: on Benny versus the penny.
Speaker 5: Such a nice offer, thank you, But I don't know.
Speaker 4: I mean as enticing as that in, as enticing as
Speaker 4: that is, I think he would actually shock the Mallard
Speaker 4: militia world more if he could find twenty dollars.
Speaker 1: T shirts.
Speaker 3: Alf I call him out, David, I got, I got Roscoe,
Speaker 3: David and Alpha mixed up.
Speaker 1: But David, listen, I will I will get back to you.
Speaker 3: I will have an answer with you as soon as possible.
Speaker 4: What if he puts a picture of the parrot on
Speaker 4: the back of the twenty dollars T shirt?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, then we could do the Mallard militia, you know,
Speaker 3: circa million dollars?
Speaker 1: Do we win a million? I guess the other question
Speaker 1: is what if we win? I guess he gets all
Speaker 1: the money?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: Is he get all the money if we win the money?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess If he's putting the money up, then
Speaker 4: I guess he's pocketing the winnings.
Speaker 3: Knowing my luck will actually win the million dollars, and
Speaker 3: then I'll be like, what the hell am I doing here?
Speaker 1: Well, I mean i'd be like, I want.
Speaker 4: To be your agent here if you go through this
Speaker 4: that way could cut you in on the winnings.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's well, he obviously gets his money back, so
Speaker 3: he gets whatever we would win. He would get the
Speaker 3: thirteen hundred plus whatever we'd have to split up the
Speaker 3: rest of it.
Speaker 1: So let me know how you feel.
Speaker 3: About that, David and Roscoe the parrot. Yeah, because I
Speaker 3: would feel bad if I'd feel bad if we lost,
Speaker 3: because you'd be out the money. If we won, I'd
Speaker 3: feel bad because I'd be like, what have I done here?
Speaker 3: I could have been making a lot of money and
Speaker 3: you know I didn't know it.
Speaker 1: It's bad job by me.
Speaker 3: Next up on the mailbag, we have Kevin in Kansas,
Speaker 3: he says, Dear Ben and Danny, g I hope you
Speaker 3: have time to answer this question.
Speaker 1: I've listened to.
Speaker 3: Every hour of every shout, Kevin says, for the past
Speaker 3: three years. Most of them are on the next day's podcast.
Speaker 3: He wants to know inside. He wants to know how
Speaker 3: we make the hot dogs. Danny, He says, could you
Speaker 3: explain the basic process you and the crew use to
Speaker 3: get a four hour show out to us within two
Speaker 3: hours after the show ends? So this is more of
Speaker 3: a podcasting question. Is that the producer's job? And if so,
Speaker 3: do all the fill in producers? I have to know
Speaker 3: the process, he says. I'm just impressed that I have
Speaker 3: all that content so soon. It's amazing to me. Thank you, gentlemen. So, Kevin,
Speaker 3: you know, or Danny, you know a little bit more
Speaker 3: about this than I do, But that is the producer's job.
Speaker 3: There is a method to the madness, right, There's a
Speaker 3: method to the madness, and we have a lot of
Speaker 3: big computers and a lot of servers, some of them
Speaker 3: from the nineties that keep track of all this stuff.
Speaker 3: And iHeart is a massive operation, so there's a lot
Speaker 3: of a lot of people. And Fox Sports Radio is
Speaker 3: one of the more popular channels on iHeart Radio.
Speaker 4: So it's a big yeah without giving away too much
Speaker 4: because you don't want to know exactly what's in the
Speaker 4: hot dogs.
Speaker 1: A lot of night rates now you don't want to.
Speaker 4: There is a lot of note taking, There is a
Speaker 4: lot of descriptions and titles and creativity that's needed. There's
Speaker 4: also man hours and power that's needed. Who actually cut
Speaker 4: up these segments, put the pie together with all the
Speaker 4: big voice sky announcements and commercials, and then boom, put
Speaker 4: it all together like a gumbo and then shoot it
Speaker 4: out to the world.
Speaker 1: You're painting a mosaic and audio mosaic.
Speaker 5: What there's a.
Speaker 3: Certain finesse that you have to have to get that done.
Speaker 4: A step by step formula, but it can't be cold
Speaker 4: step by step. It has to be warm and analog.
Speaker 3: And keep in mind and Kevin, you'll notice sometimes when
Speaker 3: Coop's not there and there's certain people that are maybe
Speaker 3: new to the producing game, they might put the podcast
Speaker 3: up in the wrong order. I know one of our
Speaker 3: friends in Vegas. She always gets upset when it's in
Speaker 3: the wrong order. So the way to do it, the
Speaker 3: proper way to set the podcast up would be, actually
Speaker 3: you have to put it up in reverse order. Yeah,
Speaker 3: because the consumer can then click on the first podcast
Speaker 3: and then it autumn matically goes to the second, and
Speaker 3: so it's a nice it's a more enjoyable listening experience
Speaker 3: that you go from one, two, three, four, rather than
Speaker 3: putting them up in reverse order.
Speaker 1: Therefore, you'd be you'd have to do more work.
Speaker 3: And one thing I've learned over the years, Danny and
Speaker 3: I'm the same way, the more steps involved to get
Speaker 3: a product, the less customers you're going to have for
Speaker 3: that product.
Speaker 4: Everything needs to be really, really easy for the consumers
Speaker 4: right now because thanks to Amazon and other companies, people's
Speaker 4: attention spans and people's clickability level is low. So if
Speaker 4: I got to click on more than three things, I'm out.
Speaker 5: That's how most people feel.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's rat tat tat, And if there's an extra tat,
Speaker 3: you're done or no rat, you're done, it's over. Next
Speaker 3: up on the mail bag thank you for that, Kevin,
Speaker 3: I appreciate that. Mike in Fullerton writes and he says, ohhoy,
Speaker 3: Ben and Danny g after hearing the amazing interview you
Speaker 3: just did last week with Jayscoop, what do you guys
Speaker 3: think is the front runner for best interview of the
Speaker 3: year so far? Jay scoops Emmett Smith with his kid
Speaker 3: for Suson or the every bit worth the Way tell
Speaker 3: All with Brian Billick. He also says, well, when is
Speaker 3: the last time either of you have been to Chuck
Speaker 3: E Cheese?
Speaker 1: What did you like more?
Speaker 3: Was it all the fun game on funning games or
Speaker 3: the pizza. He then says, do not read this part
Speaker 3: on the air, but I just want to point out
Speaker 3: that I do not have any Chuck E Cheese stock.
Speaker 3: So that is from Mike. Well, I guess we weren't
Speaker 3: supposed to read that part way.
Speaker 1: Who cares? So Yeah, like Chuck each I I can't
Speaker 1: remember the last time I was there. It was a
Speaker 1: long time ago. And I love the ski ball at
Speaker 1: Chucky Cheese. I'm a big ski ball guy. I'm a
Speaker 1: master at skiball.
Speaker 4: I've been to Chuck E Cheese three times, no times
Speaker 4: or about ten times.
Speaker 1: All right, So Mike and Fullerton, I'm gonna go. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go zero. I think you've never been to Chucky
Speaker 1: Cheese close.
Speaker 5: I've been there one time, all right.
Speaker 4: I dated this Lena girl a while back, and she
Speaker 4: of course had a kid or two.
Speaker 5: Sexist of course.
Speaker 4: This is a Jonas Knox joke that we would talk
Speaker 4: about on the air. On the second date, can the
Speaker 4: kids come on the next date? Or she wants to
Speaker 4: see how you'll blend in with her and her family
Speaker 4: at their next barbecue or at the Chucky Cheese get together.
Speaker 4: And sure enough, Ben about three or four dates in
Speaker 4: with this girl and to meet a Chuck E Cheese.
Speaker 4: I went for an hour, I drank a beer, and
Speaker 4: I got the hell out of there.
Speaker 1: How many?
Speaker 3: How many times do these kids meet different dudes like
Speaker 3: on dates? You think growing up it must be like
Speaker 3: every other month there's somebody coming in there.
Speaker 4: The crazy part about Chuck E Cheese is I thought, well,
Speaker 4: there's pizza.
Speaker 5: I love pizza. The pizza tastes like rubber.
Speaker 1: I remember there was that story a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3: How like, somehow it looks like they put pizza that's
Speaker 3: left over and they put it back together.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was nasty.
Speaker 4: You know, if it tasted like round Table, there's kids
Speaker 4: screaming and jumping in plastic balls and all that. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 4: it doesn't taste like round table pizza. So yeah, I
Speaker 4: got the hell out of there as fast as I could.
Speaker 3: Is it the last honest pizzas that round table slogan?
Speaker 5: The last? Yeah? Yeah right. It's also the world's most
Speaker 5: expensive pizza. That's another story.
Speaker 3: Yeah, true, that's why I make a ripoff round table pizza,
Speaker 3: which is not quite as good. I've tried to. I've
Speaker 3: tried to master the tomato sauce from round Table. It's
Speaker 3: hard to get it exactly right without commercial grade equipment,
Speaker 3: so that is a problem. You know, the Big Mac.
Speaker 3: Here's a fun fact for alf. The Big Mac was
Speaker 3: invented in the Pittsburgh area. Did you know that the
Speaker 3: Big Max from Pittsburgh.
Speaker 5: Didn't know that the announcement about Big Mac sauce?
Speaker 1: No, what's that?
Speaker 5: You know the different.
Speaker 4: Cups of sauces that they serve at McDonald's with nuggets,
Speaker 4: you could get the ranch, the honey, mustard, sweet, and sour. Yeah,
Speaker 4: they are now adding the special Big mac sauce as
Speaker 4: one of the options. Oh, you could dip your nuggets
Speaker 4: and your fries into big mac sauce.
Speaker 3: Dreams have become reality. Dreams have become reality. Fred in Spring,
Speaker 3: Texas rights in on the mail bag. He says, guys,
Speaker 3: do either of you think we should switch to the
Speaker 3: metric system? No, Fred, No, I don't know the metric system.
Speaker 3: I'm too old to learn the metric system. And I
Speaker 3: like that we're on our own here on an island,
Speaker 3: not using the metric system. So I'm going though, instead
Speaker 3: being true Americans, we should try to convince the rest
Speaker 3: of the world to go to our system.
Speaker 1: That's what I say, Danny.
Speaker 5: Yeah, a mile is how many kilometers?
Speaker 1: Uh, let's see, I have no idea how many kilometers
Speaker 1: is it?
Speaker 5: Let me see. I'm looking it up right now because
Speaker 5: I don't know that off end.
Speaker 4: One mile is one point six h nine kilometers, okay.
Speaker 3: And then and then the the leader thing. How many gallons.
Speaker 1: In a leader?
Speaker 5: See callan is three point seven eight five leaders.
Speaker 1: I'm not a numbers guy, but that doesn't seem to
Speaker 1: add up. Oh okay, yeah, I think we're good on that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, very confusing.
Speaker 1: In order to do that. You'd have to start how
Speaker 1: would you do that? You'd have to start that in school.
Speaker 3: You'd have to teach kids that, and then when they
Speaker 3: get over you'd have to That's how that would.
Speaker 5: Have to core mathematics.
Speaker 4: It would confuse the parents, they couldn't help the kids
Speaker 4: cheat on their homework, and our entire country would fall apart.
Speaker 1: Civilization as we know it would would crumble.
Speaker 3: It would it would be just a just an absolutely difficult,
Speaker 3: devastating thing, absolutely devastating. Next up, Thank you, Fred, Fred's
Speaker 3: a big support of the podcast. Daniel writes in in Ohio.
Speaker 3: He says, are you disappointed when you go to a
Speaker 3: hibachi and you get a white chef? Yes?
Speaker 1: Is? Is? That's a random question?
Speaker 5: Racist?
Speaker 1: I know, Joe, and we'll move on from that one.
Speaker 3: Joe of Darcy in Florida writes in He says, are
Speaker 3: there any more specifics on the Malord meet up in
Speaker 3: Minneapolis other than the date? Events plays times? I'm not
Speaker 3: ruling out the possibility of flying in for the event,
Speaker 3: and I'm working on hypothetical itineraries.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 3: That's from Joe, and that's Joe of Joe and Darcy
Speaker 3: Fame in Florida, so Joe'd be great to see you.
Speaker 3: We don't As of the time we're doing this podcast,
Speaker 3: we yet do not have a venue confirmed.
Speaker 1: I was hoping to have a venue confirmed back on
Speaker 1: four to twenty.
Speaker 3: I guess there was too much pot smoking going on
Speaker 3: that day, so we did not get the venue locked in.
Speaker 3: And as soon as I get the venue, I'll let
Speaker 3: the world know. I'll make sure to post about that
Speaker 3: and the event. The locations we're looking at. The original
Speaker 3: location that we were waiting on, it was a yellow
Speaker 3: light became a red light. That is in Minneapolis. We
Speaker 3: have a location in Saint Paul, which is across the way,
Speaker 3: and then there's also a location we're considering, which I
Speaker 3: got to jump on if we're going to do that
Speaker 3: on a lake, a very famous lake in the Land
Speaker 3: of ten Thousand Lakes. And so I've been going back
Speaker 3: and forth, like, do what kind of vibe we're going
Speaker 3: to do it.
Speaker 1: It'll most likely.
Speaker 3: Be afternoon evening, and the way these things normally work,
Speaker 3: you were at the last one, Danny. It's normally we
Speaker 3: set the time for like a couple of hours, like
Speaker 3: a two hour thing, and then I usually end up
Speaker 3: staying a lot longer than that, because people have traveled
Speaker 3: from a long way and I feel I want to
Speaker 3: I always feel weird because you want to make sure
Speaker 3: you spend time with people. It's always awkward at these
Speaker 3: things because now you kind of.
Speaker 1: Know me a little bit, but you don't really know me.
Speaker 1: And then I know you, but I don't really know.
Speaker 3: You, and so there's that falling thinning, you know, the
Speaker 3: ice thing and breaking the ice and all that. But
Speaker 3: it'll be at least a couple of hours minimum, and
Speaker 3: if nobody shows up, it'll be less than that, and
Speaker 3: if a lot of people show up, it'll be longer
Speaker 3: than that. And we'll just play it by year and
Speaker 3: we'll eat and we'll have a good time and tell stories.
Speaker 3: And I'm hoping my friends in Minnesota will tell me
Speaker 3: some cool things to do because I will be staying
Speaker 3: a couple extra days. I'm going to take a couple
Speaker 3: of days off from the show.
Speaker 1: I figure, why not.
Speaker 3: My brother's gonna come over from Wisconsin, so we're gonna
Speaker 3: hang out with him and go to some different restaurants
Speaker 3: and eat a lot of juicy Lucy's and all that.
Speaker 1: But as far as the meet and greet.
Speaker 3: It is on that Saturday, May twentieth, late afternoon, early evening,
Speaker 3: as far as I know, is the plan, and we'll
Speaker 3: kind of play it by year and.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 3: I don't think there's any other events other than that.
Speaker 3: I don't think we're taking people on a grand tour
Speaker 3: unless that's being worked out, and I know nothing about it.
Speaker 1: So that's that.
Speaker 3: Cliff in Nashville says Ben. My wife is obsessed with
Speaker 3: a Netflix show Wentworth. I think that's Usperus. It's about
Speaker 3: a woman's prison in Australia. She even uses subtitles so
Speaker 3: she doesn't miss any dialogue. I was annoyed until they
Speaker 3: started fighting each other and usually end up kissing. It's
Speaker 3: worth a watch, says Cliff in Nashville. You ever watched
Speaker 3: the show with your wife there, Danny Wentworth.
Speaker 5: No, but suddenly it is on my radar.
Speaker 3: Got your interest. The subtitle thing we've talked about. My
Speaker 3: wife loves subtitles. She's a huge subtitle I think it
Speaker 3: defeats the whole purpose of entertainment.
Speaker 1: I read millions.
Speaker 3: Of words during the week as I'm trying to prepare
Speaker 3: for the show and get ready and try to find
Speaker 3: things I want to talk about.

Speaker 1: out is to read.
Speaker 3: I don't want to read. I'm not I love reading.
Speaker 3: I read for work and I.
Speaker 1: Learned things from reading. But I don't know. But out
Speaker 1: of the subtitle, yeah.
Speaker 4: That's why me and my wife he love trash reality
Speaker 4: TV because you could literally turn your brain off and
Speaker 4: just be entertained.
Speaker 1: Is who that's a famous quote, turn your brain off?
Speaker 1: Who said? What's that quote from?

Speaker 4: confronting look into the lives of the inmates and prison
Speaker 4: staff of Wentworth Correctional Center as they navigate the ups
Speaker 4: and downs of their lives in the prison system.
