Speaker 1: Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day dred minutes
Speaker 1: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto Cutter the same as the
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House of
Speaker 1: Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour

Speaker 1: That's it, We're out of here. We don't have to
Speaker 1: do this anymore. But as long as people are there,
Speaker 1: if the audience is there, we will continue to do this.
Speaker 1: Danny j Yes, there's no reason why either of us
Speaker 1: would want to sleep in on an early morning. Now,
Speaker 1: there's no reason why we would not want to do
Speaker 1: extra content. Both of us now working on shows during
Speaker 1: the week. Danny's got the daytime slash nighttime. I've got
Speaker 1: the overnight. So this doesn't have the number one station anymore,
Speaker 1: is it. Yeah, my right hand was getting a workout.

Speaker 1: have on the menu at Benny's Bodega Social Butterfly? Did
Speaker 1: we do this? And pink I and even backscratcher? We'll
Speaker 1: do backscratcher as well. Think guy, I don't know what
Speaker 1: that is. See, this is why I wake up early. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the kind of content that you need. This
Speaker 1: is the content you didn't know you need it, but
Speaker 1: you really do need. Right. It's always the drama. Right.
Speaker 1: I hope Bella farted on your pillow. It's the only
Speaker 1: thing Bella hasn't done. Yeah, you want poop and pee anywhere,
Speaker 1: Bella will give you that. You give her ten minutes
Speaker 1: and she will produce some kind of excrement. All right.
Speaker 1: So last weekend, the wife was working a little over
Speaker 1: time Danny, so I had some downtime. I had some
Speaker 1: me time, and I ended up making the most of it.
Speaker 1: I made some dinner plans with my gambling buddy. People
Speaker 1: very fascinated about my life. So I made some dinner
Speaker 1: plans with my gambling but he had to cancel at
Speaker 1: the last minute. So then I pivoted and I start
Speaker 1: sending h I sent some flyers out to some different people.
Speaker 1: It's like, I gotta find somebody to hang out with.
Speaker 1: So I pivoted in the original Prince of Darkness, Lee Kleine,
Speaker 1: your former mortal enemy, and a somebody who's been on
Speaker 1: this podcast. We've had Lee on a few times on
Speaker 1: the podcast and he's like, yeah, i'll meet you whatever, fun,
Speaker 1: I'll meet you whatever. So he's been a friend of mine.
Speaker 1: I've known him for many many years. He's known me
Speaker 1: since I was a teenager and he was a radio
Speaker 1: guy caf I did Clipper Talk, has anyone if I
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about the clips, did some radio in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: So we go way back. And I had not really
Speaker 1: seemly much since COVID. He has he has not left
Speaker 1: his house much and he's he's got the heebie jeeps
Speaker 1: by all that, and so we met for some soul food.
Speaker 1: We met at Katella Delhi in the in the l A,
Speaker 1: Orange County border area. We we were hanging out there,
Speaker 1: a fine establishment watching We sat at the bar area
Speaker 1: Danny watching playoff baseball and college football, showing down on
Speaker 1: pastrami sandwiches with matzo ball soup and fries. And it
Speaker 1: was yummy, yummy, yummy to my tummy. It's a good time.
Speaker 1: And on my way though, here's the part of the
Speaker 1: story where the there's the plot twist, the dramatic plot twist.
Speaker 1: So on my way to meet my friend Lee, I
Speaker 1: at some time in the car and so I called
Speaker 1: another one of my buddies in Texas, guy that I
Speaker 1: grew up it went to elementary school with, and he
Speaker 1: lives in Dallas, and so I said, hey, uh, what's
Speaker 1: going on? I called him up, Hey are you doing whatever?
Speaker 1: He says, You're never gonna guess where I am. So
Speaker 1: I'm like, let me think you're where you at. I
Speaker 1: don't know. There's a Texas Oklahoma football game? Did you
Speaker 1: go to that? Uh? No? No I No I did not.
Speaker 1: Uh Like, where do you you take a day trip
Speaker 1: to San Antonio or Austin or something like that? No, no,
Speaker 1: I didn't do that. And it turns out he was.
Speaker 1: He was in southern California, like he had flown out.
Speaker 1: I didn't know he was coming out here, but he
Speaker 1: flew out, and so he actually got he missed his
Speaker 1: original flight because of the Oklahoma Texas game. The traffic
Speaker 1: and the train schedule got all messed up in Dallas,
Speaker 1: and so he actually missed his his original flight. But
Speaker 1: so after after my my dinner with Lee, I headed
Speaker 1: over to a karaoke bar. Oh yeah, I was at
Speaker 1: a karaoke bar. That is not a place I picture
Speaker 1: you walk no, no, and I I want usually nothing
Speaker 1: to do with karake. I alway used to go to
Speaker 1: Dimples in Burbank when I worked in Burbank, which was
Speaker 1: a famous kara which closed. Mr Belding, Yeah, you were
Speaker 1: just there to hang out with the principle. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: he was a listener actually, and he follows me into it.
Speaker 1: But he got off Twitter years ago, and I think
Speaker 1: he I think he moved to Tennessee. The the actor
Speaker 1: that played Mr beld and he moved anyway, it's not
Speaker 1: the way. So so my friends like, hey, he loves
Speaker 1: doing karaoke. He's like an Elvis impersonator. He's got like
Speaker 1: a nine to five job, but he likes doing Elvis
Speaker 1: stuff and singing songs at karaoke. So I'm like, whatever,
Speaker 1: I'll meet you whatever. That's the only time I could
Speaker 1: see him because I've worked during the week, and so
Speaker 1: he loves to perform as a social butterfly. I was
Speaker 1: the guy holding the camera there. I was the guy
Speaker 1: holding the camera. And here's some observations I made. I
Speaker 1: don't really want to go back to a karaoke bar.
Speaker 1: That's the first observation. Number two. A lot of middle
Speaker 1: aged people. And I'm fine, I guess I'm middle aged too.
Speaker 1: But a lot of people who think they are rock
Speaker 1: and roll stars Danny and are convinced that whatever they
Speaker 1: ended up doing in life, they missed their calling. And
Speaker 1: these people were really getting into it, like they were
Speaker 1: not just doing karaoke. Half asked, like you could tell
Speaker 1: these people had practiced, that they had they these songs
Speaker 1: meant a lot to them and they were all about it,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, good for them, But it's not
Speaker 1: really my jam here, it's not really my scene. You know,
Speaker 1: what would your go to song be if you had
Speaker 1: to go up there and sing? Well, I I did
Speaker 1: perform in junior high school with this guy, the guy
Speaker 1: that I met at the karaoke bar, and we did
Speaker 1: Rubber Biscuit. So I guess I'd have to go back
Speaker 1: to some blues brothers. You got two slices of bread
Speaker 1: and you wish you had some meat bow. Wow, Wow
Speaker 1: you do that? Wow you missed your calling to Yeah, clearly,
Speaker 1: What about you, Danny? What would your karaoke song be?
Speaker 1: You know I always had this thrown at me because
Speaker 1: of my voice. I had to do tone low, funky
Speaker 1: cold medina. You do have the deep pipes. You do.
Speaker 1: Definitely have that going for you. Creep you out. I
Speaker 1: think it would creep me out if I was in
Speaker 1: there with all the adults being rock stars. Yeah. You
Speaker 1: know the thing about that I was I didn't really
Speaker 1: know what to expect. This is the place I've never been.
Speaker 1: I had to put it in my map thing on
Speaker 1: the phone to try to find it. And I got
Speaker 1: there and it was late at night because I'd already
Speaker 1: eaten the games were over. I go in there, like
Speaker 1: the first thing the waitress says to me when I
Speaker 1: walk in there's a to drink minimum. And I said,
Speaker 1: I said, wait a minute, I'm not even doing the karaoke.
Speaker 1: I'm just here to meet a friend. I'm not. No,
Speaker 1: she said too, if you're gonna be here doing the
Speaker 1: at the karaoke bar to drink minimum like, what the
Speaker 1: bleep bleep is there so many fans show up just
Speaker 1: to watch the amazing singing that they have to make
Speaker 1: sure you buy a couple of drinks. Yeah. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: it's the other thing. I was holding the camera for
Speaker 1: the my buddy who was doing karaoke and he was
Speaker 1: doing on Facebook Live, and they were like two people
Speaker 1: washing doing one person. I was like, what are we
Speaker 1: doing here? And I was like, when you should go
Speaker 1: out to the street corner and there'll be more people
Speaker 1: driving by in cars that will see you. It's all
Speaker 1: all good. Maybe they'll watch it later. Didn't we do this, dady?
Speaker 1: What what is this? Did we do this? Oh? Man? Well?
Speaker 1: You know, after post production of Coveno and Rich on
Speaker 1: Monday night, I had a dilemma because the Raiders and
Speaker 1: The Chiefs were already playing, and at this point it
Speaker 1: was seventeen to nothing Raiders. I pretty much knew after
Speaker 1: that missed roughing the passer call that all the calls
Speaker 1: were then going to go to the Chiefs. I knew
Speaker 1: it was gonna be bad after that. I still had
Speaker 1: a decision to make, though, I'm like, if I get
Speaker 1: in my car and sit in traffic and drive home,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be trying to listen to their network on
Speaker 1: their app, which always craps out. So I might as
Speaker 1: well just walk across the street to the galleria in
Speaker 1: beautiful Sherman Oaks, California. What could go wrong crossing a
Speaker 1: very busy street there German Oaks where people don't know
Speaker 1: how to stop. Yeah, exactly, and there's five homeless people
Speaker 1: to walk over as you go to the galleria. Nice
Speaker 1: smell and as well, it really is good. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: at least you could jump into the fountain. I'll wash off.
Speaker 1: I got across the street safe enough, but I had
Speaker 1: Wings on my mind. I'm like, man, well I'll go
Speaker 1: get uh six wings, maybe a side salad since I've
Speaker 1: been eating healthy the past couple of months. Buffalo Wild
Speaker 1: Wings is right there. I'm thinking to myself, I'm sure
Speaker 1: it's crowded in there, but I'll find a chair. So
Speaker 1: I go in walk straight to the bar area. It
Speaker 1: didn't matter at all because there were so many Raider
Speaker 1: fans in there. Ben even I was uncomfortable scary looking dudes.
Speaker 1: And no, it wasn't that they were scary, it was
Speaker 1: just that they already had taken over the place, kind
Speaker 1: of like how you felt going late to the karaoke party.
Speaker 1: I felt like I was very late to this raider tailgate.
Speaker 1: There were two Chiefs jerseys sprinkled in this abyss of
Speaker 1: silver and black. I find a chair to sit down.
Speaker 1: I find a screen right right in my view that
Speaker 1: I can watch, and UM clean the chair off. You
Speaker 1: know how they do there when they're busy. They don't
Speaker 1: even bother cleaning off a chair or table when one
Speaker 1: opens up because they're so they're just so slammed, right,
Speaker 1: So I cleaned it up myself. I sit down many
Speaker 1: times when you and I hosted Monday night football at
Speaker 1: places like Buffalo Wild Wings. Think back to the beginning
Speaker 1: of your career, Ben, how many Monday night did you
Speaker 1: spend on a microphone at an establishment like that hosting
Speaker 1: hosting Monday night football. Did we do this? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we've lived that life. We have done that. Yeah, we've
Speaker 1: got trivia. We've got trivia. I want to win a
Speaker 1: free uh set of chicken wings. And I almost felt
Speaker 1: guilty because as I sat there, I was very frustrated
Speaker 1: with this guy who kept talking on the microphone and
Speaker 1: interrupting what I was trying to concentrate on every couple
Speaker 1: of seconds. He was making a comment on the microphone
Speaker 1: any time the game went to any sort of little break,
Speaker 1: even if it was just a time out. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to listen to what's going on on the call for
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football, and this guy is blabbing about ticket
Speaker 1: numbers and trivia and blah blah blah blah blah. Shut up.
Speaker 1: I want to watch the game, like, Hey, silence is golden. Yeah.
Speaker 1: When Kelsey scored his second to last touchdown, there was
Speaker 1: some obvious holding Max Crosby. The chief player had him
Speaker 1: by both shoulder pads and kept him from running after Mahomes,
Speaker 1: which would have been a sack. The only thing that
Speaker 1: was nice is this guy on his microphone pointed out
Speaker 1: they were holding Max Crosby right there. Okay, well, at
Speaker 1: least he saw that, like most of the country did.
Speaker 1: But still, that was the point where I got up
Speaker 1: and walked out. Didn't have a menu. Had this guy
Speaker 1: bullshitting on his microphone constantly. I guess it's kind of
Speaker 1: like when you're at a Super Bowl party and it's
Speaker 1: getting on your nerves because the food might be good,
Speaker 1: but people won't stop talking. Yeah, The worst place to
Speaker 1: watch the super Bowl is at a super Bowl party.
Speaker 1: It is the by far the worst. And I did
Speaker 1: local radio. We used to have super Bowl parties and
Speaker 1: they they had this thing one year they had this
Speaker 1: all you can eat thing at the super Bowl party.
Speaker 1: They ran out of food. They did not provide the food.
Speaker 1: You know how many people were upset? Danny, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: he said, you said all you can eat, there's no
Speaker 1: They ran out of food by the third quarter. There
Speaker 1: was no food left. Did you end up ordering anything
Speaker 1: or do you do what happened? I never got a menu.
Speaker 1: I never had service during all of that nonsense. So
Speaker 1: I walked over to the cheesecake factory. Their TVs are
Speaker 1: so small at their bar. I couldn't even see the
Speaker 1: TVs when I walked in. And I walked over to
Speaker 1: the bar and there they are, like little small TVs
Speaker 1: we had in our bedroom back in the nineties. Um,
Speaker 1: but I'm like, I could pull up a bar chair
Speaker 1: right in front of one of these little screens. That's
Speaker 1: what I did. I ordered Asian lettuce wraps to try
Speaker 1: to somewhat keep it healthy, and it was nice. But
Speaker 1: now this bartender was trying to talk Raiders and Chargers
Speaker 1: the whole time because he was a Chargers fan. So
Speaker 1: I don't know what was worse, guy bullshitting on the
Speaker 1: microphone the whole time with no service at Buffalo Wild
Speaker 1: Wings or sitting in the company of a Chargers fan. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: at least you got out of Buffalo Wild Wings before.
Speaker 1: I mean, you would get it. Sounds like you got
Speaker 1: a headache and that one man, and I got a
Speaker 1: headache watching me how that game unfolded on that fourth
Speaker 1: down call. You know, had Josh McDaniels not been a
Speaker 1: brainiac and gun for two there, he would have had
Speaker 1: the luxury to run Josh Jacobs on that fourth and two.
Speaker 1: I'm glad. I'm glad you brought that up because I
Speaker 1: got into a debate with Roberto who's a fellow Raider
Speaker 1: fan like yourself, and he he thought it was great
Speaker 1: to go for two, and I'm like, no, that in
Speaker 1: that situation is four and a half minutes to go
Speaker 1: in the game, the Chiefs are having kicking issues, what
Speaker 1: are you doing? No faith in your defense at all?
Speaker 1: And the Raiders still ended up getting a stop and
Speaker 1: they got the ball back obviously after that, But you
Speaker 1: gotta just kick the extra point. It's all but a
Speaker 1: sure thing. And then you know, you know you have
Speaker 1: an opportunity, and that was like two seconds to go
Speaker 1: in the game, and you want to go for the win.
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that, but I'll tell you exactly what
Speaker 1: I said. I looked down for a second because I'm
Speaker 1: like dipping one of these lettuce things and it's in
Speaker 1: its Asian sauce. I look back up and I see
Speaker 1: the Raiders coming onto the field for a formation for
Speaker 1: two points, and I said, what the funk are you
Speaker 1: doing that for? Exactly what I blurted out at this bar,
Speaker 1: and and I still will will I'll live and die
Speaker 1: by that, because you don't outsmart yourself when the points
Speaker 1: are there to take and it's gonna tie the game.
Speaker 1: That puts the pressure back on them. And McDaniels explanation was,
Speaker 1: I felt like that would put pressure on my homes
Speaker 1: and them. No, you, dick, that puts pressure on you
Speaker 1: on your final drive because now you have to get
Speaker 1: a first out, you have to get points. So with
Speaker 1: that much time on the clock, that is the stupidest
Speaker 1: decision you could ever make. Nobody could ever sway. My opinion,
Speaker 1: of that. No, I agree with you. I was watching
Speaker 1: the game and I have no skin in the game
Speaker 1: at all, but I was like, I can't believe he
Speaker 1: did that. Why would he do that. I'm like, he's
Speaker 1: got to be a puppet. He' says Josh McDaniels is
Speaker 1: a sock puppet to the analytics because there's some algorithm
Speaker 1: that says you have to go for it in that situation.
Speaker 1: Well wait, wait till the Raiders and Charges play again. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel like analytics are the new excuse for when
Speaker 1: you make a dumbass decision. Well, it is a wonderful alibi.
Speaker 1: You can pretty much do anything you want now in
Speaker 1: the NFL, and if somebody calls you on it, you say, listen,
Speaker 1: that's what the analytics said. And who's the question that
Speaker 1: nobody understands the analytics other than the nerds question that,
Speaker 1: come on, I don't I don't get it. Anyway, we'll
Speaker 1: move on from that, the the tail that you never
Speaker 1: know who's listening. So this week I got a random
Speaker 1: text from a former producer of mine out of the blue,
Speaker 1: and the reason I got that texts because his name
Speaker 1: came up in conversation on the radio ship. So the
Speaker 1: other night we were talking about Monsey was in who
Speaker 1: she was doing Eddie. Eddie took the night off to
Speaker 1: go to a hockey game. So Mancy was in there,
Speaker 1: and she had just come from a volleyball game. So
Speaker 1: she was like apologizing. She's like, I'm all sweaty, I
Speaker 1: came from a volleyball game and like whatever. So then
Speaker 1: I said, well, by the way, at least you showed
Speaker 1: up for work. I had a producer who was late
Speaker 1: to work one time because he was playing kickball. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Greg Bergman Cooper loops to let me guess, and he
Speaker 1: named Greg Bourbon on the air and I said, yep,
Speaker 1: that's the guy Burton and and so he I have
Speaker 1: not I not talked to them for years, and and
Speaker 1: we we share a bond myself and Greg Bergman for
Speaker 1: life because we were both on the air the night
Speaker 1: we found out we were about to get excommunicated from
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio back in January of oh nine mass
Speaker 1: layoff and we were part of that. We were on
Speaker 1: the air and about I forget. It was like ten
Speaker 1: to ten to thirty minutes into the show. I got
Speaker 1: an email from management who said there's a mandatory meeting
Speaker 1: the next afternoon. Management never sends those emails out past
Speaker 1: like five thirty, so the only way they would send
Speaker 1: that out is if you're getting removed and you have
Speaker 1: to be there. And so I remember Bergie was freaking
Speaker 1: out and I was trying to calm them down. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I was like, listen, you're not really in radio until
Speaker 1: you've been let go at least a couple of times.
Speaker 1: So this is like a badge of her here. It's
Speaker 1: like you gotta as a boxer, you gotta get punched
Speaker 1: in the face a few times. You gotta get a
Speaker 1: couple of bruises right here, as you're not really part
Speaker 1: of it anyway. So Bergman called me up. And he's
Speaker 1: done very well for himself. He's an assistant program director
Speaker 1: at Big Sports station in l A, not the one
Speaker 1: we work with, and he works with Mason in Ireland
Speaker 1: and all that. And he checked in. He was at
Speaker 1: the Dodgery game. You want to know if I was there.
Speaker 1: I was not at that particular game. And so we
Speaker 1: caught up. And he also got the nickname Pink I
Speaker 1: because he missed work. He had pink yeah, and I
Speaker 1: that yeah, and and and there's so many Bergman stories
Speaker 1: because he was the guy when I went outside and
Speaker 1: I had to call into the local station, the Lake
Speaker 1: Great Joan McDonald. I did cross talk with him, and
Speaker 1: there was this vagrant outside in Sherman Oaks who kept, hey,
Speaker 1: are you on the radio? I want to go on
Speaker 1: the radio? Are you on the radio? We were gonna
Speaker 1: and put me on the radio. I'm Henry Hill. Put
Speaker 1: me on the radio. I'm Henry Hell, you know. And
Speaker 1: that was the great Henry Hill story. And and I said, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not on the radio. And then I walked in
Speaker 1: and he starts banging on the door. I'm Henry fucking Hill.
Speaker 1: Let me on the radio. I get he's slurring his
Speaker 1: words because he's drunk, and and so I was like, Hey,
Speaker 1: that guy says he's Henry Hill from Good Fellows. And
Speaker 1: I told I said, Bergman, go take care of that.
Speaker 1: Bergman is like, he's you know, he's a beam poll,
Speaker 1: he's a he's a number two pencil and uh, I
Speaker 1: told her. I said, we'll take care of that. And
Speaker 1: then then we famously looked up the photo of what
Speaker 1: Henry Hill looks like because he had made some appearances
Speaker 1: on the Howard Stern Show, and that was Henry Hill.
Speaker 1: That's just nuts to me that it's just nuts that
Speaker 1: a mob guy was like right outside the door and
Speaker 1: I walked right by him, and I it was he
Speaker 1: was so drunk at that point. I don't know, you know,
Speaker 1: he's dead now. But I got a soft spot for
Speaker 1: Burgie because I used to work with him at NBC
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Oh did you okay? So you worked with
Speaker 1: him after he left Fox Sports Radio? Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: I worked with him again when he went back to
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. But it was so funny because they
Speaker 1: had internet issues at NBC Sports Radio and Bergman used
Speaker 1: to have classic meltdowns, this fucking place. I can't do
Speaker 1: my job like this? How much bookcast when there's no internet,
Speaker 1: and he would smash things and throw things. I saw
Speaker 1: him unhinged, and he's not really like that. He obviously
Speaker 1: was really frustrated with that fledgling network back back in
Speaker 1: the day. Um and I used to keep my composure
Speaker 1: and he used to tell me. He used to say, Danny,
Speaker 1: you're too good for this place. You're too good for
Speaker 1: this place. You're you're such a good worker. I don't
Speaker 1: even know what you're doing here. So when there was
Speaker 1: an opening at Fox Sports Radio for your show, when
Speaker 1: your tech producer, big brother Jake, was leaving. Bergman was
Speaker 1: the one who called me and said, do it. I
Speaker 1: got the perfect job for you to get away from
Speaker 1: that fucking place. They went out of business, They went away,
Speaker 1: they sure did. And he was the one who gave
Speaker 1: me the heads up to get my stuff in, to
Speaker 1: turn my resume and tape and stuff into the guys
Speaker 1: there that were your bosses at the time. So shouts
Speaker 1: out to him. Man, he's the reason why I'm at
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. No, I was great. We're catching up
Speaker 1: his his daughter's eleven. Now is this little kid? You know?
Speaker 1: She used to hang out sometimes at Fox Sports Radio
Speaker 1: there with her dolls. Yes, with her two player with
Speaker 1: the little dolls and eleven years old? Crazy? How fast
Speaker 1: that goes? All right, we have a little time left
Speaker 1: for Backscratcher, and so we'll do that right now. These
Speaker 1: are actual reviews from actual listeners of this podcast. Now,
Speaker 1: this is kind of ridiculous, and I'm embarrassed to say this,
Speaker 1: but management monitors the reviews and the ratings on the
Speaker 1: Apple podcast page. You can get this podcast all over
Speaker 1: the place. You can listen on any platform you want.
Speaker 1: I heart Apple podcasts, Spotify, any of them, Stitcher, whatever
Speaker 1: these these things are. Anyway, management is most worried about
Speaker 1: the Apple podcast page. So we ask you to help
Speaker 1: us out to us a solid. It doesn't cost you
Speaker 1: any money. It does cost your time. It shouldn't take long,
Speaker 1: but it's the Apple podcast page. And so you scratch
Speaker 1: our back, we scratch yours. And it's our weekly tip
Speaker 1: of the on air light to the loyal minions of
Speaker 1: the Malley militia. So this week, Danny, how many reviews
Speaker 1: do you think we have that we didn't have last
Speaker 1: week at this time. Two? I'm gonna say that is correct.
Speaker 1: We have two. We have money. Manzie who wrote in
Speaker 1: said five stars. If it's big Ben Maller, it has
Speaker 1: to be five stars. Dandy g the man too, he says,
Speaker 1: go Raiders. Yeah, I like this guy. There's a Raider
Speaker 1: fan right there. And the Phee the Sunburn wrote in
Speaker 1: five stars, this great show. I used to be on
Speaker 1: the third shift. Listen to Ben Rant and Rave live
Speaker 1: now being on the dreaded day shift, I thought I
Speaker 1: lost the Mallard show. Well, Fear No More podcast and
Speaker 1: as a bonus, I get to listen to Benn and
Speaker 1: Danny g talk sports and the life they live on
Speaker 1: the fifth hour. Thanks guys, great show. That's from the
Speaker 1: Phoenix sun Bird. Well, thank you Phoenix Sunburn. We appreciate that.
Speaker 1: And I know we've got a big mail bag tomorrow.
