Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of
Speaker 1: the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House of hot
Speaker 1: takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with
Speaker 1: Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere a
Speaker 1: Sunday Sunday edition of The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller
Speaker 1: and Day and h G Radio because hey, the overnight
Speaker 1: show during the week not enough bonus bonus covers. I
Speaker 1: think this is the eighth day of a week actually
Speaker 1: for the show on Sunday and the last NFL regular
Speaker 1: season Sunday Nanny. Now most people seem to listen to
Speaker 1: this in the morning, but I mean there are people
Speaker 1: that go back and listen later. But this is it.
Speaker 1: This is the playoffs start next week and you you
Speaker 1: have a raided playoff game today the night the Raiders
Speaker 1: and the and the Chargers. So that's right, flex to
Speaker 1: the Sunday night football game on NBC. Cannot wait for
Speaker 1: the Raiders and Chargers. Man, I got screwed a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago, I I was in Seattle and the
Speaker 1: Seahawk forty Niner game that that year. It was it
Speaker 1: was week I think it was Week seventeen, and it
Speaker 1: got flexed to the Sunday night game and it was
Speaker 1: like I couldn't get in, And when all I went
Speaker 1: to Seattle and hung out outside the stadium, I was
Speaker 1: banned from going to STA. Have you been to a
Speaker 1: Raider game in Vegas yet? I have not been yet.
Speaker 1: I was tempted to trade shifts with somebody at the
Speaker 1: network and try to get out there for tonight's game.
Speaker 1: I think that this is gonna be the first game
Speaker 1: in Vegas where the home field advantage really makes a different.
Speaker 1: The tickets are insane, though. I was talking to Eddie
Speaker 1: about this during the week, and Eddie was, you know,
Speaker 1: his wife's a big Charger fan, and they were thinking
Speaker 1: about going, and they said, even on the second, you know,
Speaker 1: the cheapest ticket they get get Yeah, it was like
Speaker 1: six hundred bucks or something like that. I think it
Speaker 1: might even be more than that, but it was ridiculous. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's funny because when you look at the schedule to
Speaker 1: the right down the side of all the games, it
Speaker 1: says tickets as low as and you're supposed to click
Speaker 1: on if you want tickets, and teams said like twenty dollars.
Speaker 1: One team where said forty eight dollars. Then you get
Speaker 1: to Las Vegas and it said four hundred and eight
Speaker 1: dollars as low as four hundred and eight dollars. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we probably talked about this in the past on the
Speaker 1: terrestrial radio show what is the most you would spend
Speaker 1: on an NFL ticket? Yeah, we've talked about this recently
Speaker 1: on the air. Um, you're right at Fox Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: This has come up couple of times. And I think
Speaker 1: that I said six hundred for me, like six hundred
Speaker 1: dollars because I could see paying twelve hundred for a
Speaker 1: pair of a really really crucial important playoff game. Maybe
Speaker 1: if that gets you into a Super Bowl. I cannot
Speaker 1: see paying more your rent or mortgage though on tickets. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's a tough one. I have. Roberto, I remember
Speaker 1: bought a ticket to the seen World Series, the Dodgers game,
Speaker 1: I think it was Game two, and I believe he's
Speaker 1: still paying it off right now. And and that was
Speaker 1: of course the cheating as strows. He used Klarna where
Speaker 1: they let him pay monthly. Oh my god, what a nightmare. Anyway,
Speaker 1: let's get to the mail bag. What do you say?
Speaker 1: Here we go right now, let's do it. Big tip
Speaker 1: of the microphone to our buddy Ohio Owl who made
Speaker 1: that song in a brilliant rendition, because we're still playing
Speaker 1: it and we'll probably play it for a long time
Speaker 1: to come, but thanks to Ohio Aw. So these are
Speaker 1: actual letters send in via email or posted on the
Speaker 1: show facebook page, which is Ben mall or show. That's
Speaker 1: the Facebook And every Tuesday I post on the Facebook page,
Speaker 1: usually in the morning, but by by the afternoon. Normally
Speaker 1: I post I say, hey, help us out. We need
Speaker 1: some questions. And we have a very good, loyal group
Speaker 1: of big fans. I'd love to get some new people
Speaker 1: involved and to mix it up and get some new voices.
Speaker 1: There's no pressure. Maybe you only want to ask a
Speaker 1: question one time, UM, and that's fine, but you know
Speaker 1: it's great. I really, I really appreciate the people that
Speaker 1: take time out, shake things up and send questions in.
Speaker 1: So the first one uh and you can also email
Speaker 1: the questions by the way, Real fifth hour at gmail
Speaker 1: dot com. First once from Jennifer and Richmond, Virginia. She says,
Speaker 1: great to have your back. Sorry to hear you weren't
Speaker 1: feeling well. My question this week is did you know
Speaker 1: the most recent episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm was the
Speaker 1: season finale? She says, I had no idea until days after.
Speaker 1: I don't have cable. I use a quote secret unquote
Speaker 1: streaming service, so I had no clue. I thought there
Speaker 1: would be at least two more episodes. Uh, yeah, I
Speaker 1: I was aware. Um My brother in law works on
Speaker 1: Curb Your Enthusiasm as one of the crew guys, and
Speaker 1: so he told stories. I actually watched, and hopefully you
Speaker 1: can get this, Jennifer. You know Bob Einstein, better known
Speaker 1: as Super Dave Osborne. You're around my age, don't you
Speaker 1: remember Super Dave back? Right? The guy was a legend.
Speaker 1: I love that he passed away. Wow back And they
Speaker 1: made this really cool documentary on HBO. And if if
Speaker 1: you're around our age and you remember super Dave, it
Speaker 1: was awesome. You know, I was flashing back. I loved
Speaker 1: him on The Letterman Show and all the dumb stupid
Speaker 1: Uh he was doing a parody of Evil Kinevil. You know,
Speaker 1: Super Dave, And they did a really nice retrospective on
Speaker 1: his life in Hollywood, Bob Einstein and that's his legal name,
Speaker 1: Bob Einstein, but better known as Super Dave of Osborne.
Speaker 1: And that was pretty cool. And Jennifer also says that
Speaker 1: you get the squirrel video that I said, and I
Speaker 1: did not. Jennifer's in Richmond and Danny. She has trained
Speaker 1: the squirrels in her backyard. She feeds them peanuts and
Speaker 1: it was really it was really funny. I mean, this
Speaker 1: one squirrel was trying to hoard all the all the peanuts.
Speaker 1: It was I think Lenny was the name of the squirrel.
Speaker 1: She named the squirrel Lenny, and it was It was
Speaker 1: really good. Have you ever fed squirrels chip monks roasting
Speaker 1: on an open fire? Exactly? Exactly. No. I know from
Speaker 1: the time I was a little kid, I remember family
Speaker 1: members always saying those things have brabies, don't get near it. Oh.
Speaker 1: I know, of course they all sell that. But I
Speaker 1: actually in central California, uh, near the Hearst Castle, which
Speaker 1: I love that area. Uh. The I've told this story before,
Speaker 1: but we were me and my wife will go there
Speaker 1: quite a bit. You were trying to go once a year, Yeah,
Speaker 1: San Simmon where they you can feed the seals, Yes,
Speaker 1: I can't feed them, but you can watch them far
Speaker 1: and lose their skin. And the lions is it lions seals?
Speaker 1: Is that where they are anyway? Whatever they are, it's
Speaker 1: it's it's right across from the Hearst Castle and the
Speaker 1: beach there is pretty cool. By the way, have you
Speaker 1: been to that beach right across from the hers Castle.
Speaker 1: I have, Yeah, they have a pier. It's always foggy.
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's pretty neat. Yeah, that area is nice.
Speaker 1: If you ever get to California, go to San simeon
Speaker 1: E Bay is not bad rock. They have the big
Speaker 1: giant rock there. Beautiful. I love that area. It's unsullied
Speaker 1: because William Howard Hurst or William Randolph Howard Hurst, right
Speaker 1: he uh he when he died, his family just left
Speaker 1: all the land, so all of central California. Yeah, you'll
Speaker 1: imagine if somebody else owned that, there'd be big cities there.
Speaker 1: And yeah, somebody from Oregon told me that that reminded
Speaker 1: them their beaches. Like you said, it's not developed, Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it beautiful. It is uh wonderful. All right, what's next year?
Speaker 1: Let's see alright, Kevin and Kansas says dear Ben and
Speaker 1: Danny g thanks for soldiering through Ben with the voice issues.
Speaker 1: Where you're You're welcome given. Uh. He says, you were
Speaker 1: missed blah blah blah blah blah during the end of
Speaker 1: the year. Were you able to be a normal person
Speaker 1: on your sleep schedule for a while? Uh? If so,
Speaker 1: how do you adjust back to your regular daytime, uh
Speaker 1: sleep schedule? Well, it was pretty easy, Kevin, because I
Speaker 1: couldn't go anywhere. As we talked about in the Saturday podcast,
Speaker 1: when you have COVID, you are an ogre. Uh, you
Speaker 1: have cooties. You are not allowed to be seen in
Speaker 1: a polite society. And um so we just stayed home
Speaker 1: and it was very boring and just stayed in bed
Speaker 1: and watched TV, and I watched YouTube videos and and whatever,
Speaker 1: played video games and uh pretty much just tried to
Speaker 1: pass the time. Um So, but we did. I did
Speaker 1: change my schedule a little bit. I went to bed
Speaker 1: probably six five or six hours earlier than I normally do,
Speaker 1: which is still late at night. But I can't completely
Speaker 1: turn my schedule all the way around. I can't do
Speaker 1: it because I'm just a night person. I'm just wired
Speaker 1: that way. But you know, I don't know, did Danny
Speaker 1: did you? You were working radio, so you couldn't really
Speaker 1: change your schedule at all. Huh. Through Christmas and New
Speaker 1: Year's Eve, I was working some shifts at the network,
Speaker 1: so I had to be honest, a tight schedule. But
Speaker 1: then once New Year's Eve happened and I stayed up,
Speaker 1: I got home like at eleven thirty pm, so I
Speaker 1: made it by a half hour to have a toast
Speaker 1: with my TINDERRONI. But we stayed up. Like for us,
Speaker 1: we laugh, we're like partying hard if we stay up
Speaker 1: till eleven pm. We actually stayed until to thirty am. Wow,
Speaker 1: my schedule has been thrown off ever since then. I've
Speaker 1: been staying up way too late at night lately, so
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to flip it back around before school
Speaker 1: starts Monday. So you have a few a few more
Speaker 1: hours tomorrow, I should say, yeah, right, a few more
Speaker 1: hours and then back to it. Alright, who is next here?
Speaker 1: Let's see any meny miny mo come back. It's from
Speaker 1: call that's right, Pierre from Springfield, the Massachusetts some of
Speaker 1: the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame where you can see
Speaker 1: muffin McGraw and tried uh and Pierce. Has been any
Speaker 1: truth to the rumor that I Heart is in negotiations
Speaker 1: to add Antonio Brown to the Fifth Hour Mixed Mimic,
Speaker 1: two Pros and a Cup of Joe. Of course a
Speaker 1: b doesn't have your athletic resume, but he'd just be
Speaker 1: the third man in anyway, Does Danny g know that
Speaker 1: Benning the Bopper once hit a ball that, if using
Speaker 1: an aluminum bat, would have cleared the fence at Dodgers Well,
Speaker 1: that is true, by the way, Danny. That is verified
Speaker 1: Derrick call who is the CEO of the Arizona Diamondbacks,
Speaker 1: but he was working for the Dodgers at the times
Speaker 1: of Buddy of Mine. He was on this podcast. Confirmed
Speaker 1: confirmed Benning the Bopper home run with if I used
Speaker 1: a metal bat, I used to Corey Snyder, wouldn't bat.
Speaker 1: Bad job by me, man, somebody served you up a
Speaker 1: real meat ball that day. I was very large, Dan,
Speaker 1: I was very large and in charge. I've heard this story. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you were very much Bob Horner. No I I I
Speaker 1: just got my weight behind it. My eyeballs turned into saucers.
Speaker 1: I cashed in on that one. Man that is like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, we looked like Dave Parker up there.
Speaker 1: It was awesome. How pathetic is it? That's my athletic
Speaker 1: highlight right there at almost hitting a ball out of
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium is the athletic highlight. And by the way,
Speaker 1: I heard that story once every six months while I
Speaker 1: was working with Big because in the anniversary of the story,
Speaker 1: we have to tell the story. Yeah, and then people
Speaker 1: ask me about It's a fun story. People love to
Speaker 1: hear about that. So how did you do in the outfield?
Speaker 1: You know, well, no, I played. I actually played first base.
Speaker 1: It was a mistake because a lot of these guys
Speaker 1: at groundballs and then I had to go cover first
Speaker 1: I even played second base at Dodger Stadium a little
Speaker 1: bit in the media game, what a bad move by
Speaker 1: the manager. Imagine uh, an infielder with no lateral range
Speaker 1: to the right or the left as your second baseman. Anyway,
Speaker 1: they the guy the managers like, He's like, well, no,
Speaker 1: they don't hit it to second base. They either pull
Speaker 1: it and they up hitting it down because most of
Speaker 1: the guys are right handed, so they try to pull
Speaker 1: the ball hit to the left side. When the shortstop
Speaker 1: third base whatever. That had to have felt great though.
Speaker 1: Hitting a bomb there in that game. Oh it was awesome.
Speaker 1: Oh man, it was great. I was a lot younger then,
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, anyway, I also got injured in the
Speaker 1: media game. A couple of years later. I ended up
Speaker 1: on the Channel eleven news in Los Angeles. Uh no,
Speaker 1: I was actually you'll get a kick at us. I
Speaker 1: was running to first base and I hit the bag wrong,
Speaker 1: and it was like my knee exploded. Man. And I
Speaker 1: remember looking up and you'll remember this woman. She was
Speaker 1: the sideline reporter for Monday Night Football. Yes, Lisa Berrero
Speaker 1: was playing in the game and she, uh she looked
Speaker 1: at me like, are you okay? I I thought I
Speaker 1: was dead or something like that. It was. It was
Speaker 1: very bizarre, very bizarre. Right, what is next year? Let's see, Uh, Kevin,
Speaker 1: I got mail? Yeah, I got Kevin from Rockford writes
Speaker 1: and he says, so I wasn't able to hike Mallard
Speaker 1: Mountain yet. I remember this is the guy that told
Speaker 1: us he was going to climb up and put the
Speaker 1: Mallard sign. Yeah. He said his son tested positive for
Speaker 1: COVID the weekend he was supposed to go. So he
Speaker 1: changed his plans two over New Year's Kevin said, but
Speaker 1: then the Rockies were hit with a big winter storm.
Speaker 1: He says he will eventually get there to plant the flag. Well, Kevin,
Speaker 1: make sure, as I told you before, it takes lots
Speaker 1: of photos, and I will promote that on Instagram and
Speaker 1: Facebook and Twitter and all that stuff. Um, that'll be awesome,
Speaker 1: he says. Living in California, have you are Danny G
Speaker 1: been to the Mount Whitney area. Mount Whitney is the
Speaker 1: tallest mountain in the Lower only fourteen feet shorter than
Speaker 1: Mount Open, the tallest in Colorado, which I which I
Speaker 1: have hiked. Once I'm done with my hiking in Colorado,
Speaker 1: Kevin and Rockford says, uh he would like to live
Speaker 1: or at least get out to California and conquer Mount Whitney.
Speaker 1: He says he's hiked Mount Jacinto in the Palm Springs
Speaker 1: area a few times. He says he cheated. He took
Speaker 1: the tram. I do the same thing, but he took
Speaker 1: the tram down. I would. I would do the same
Speaker 1: thing since California's beautiful. I'd lived there if it wasn't
Speaker 1: for the high cost of living and weird people. Well,
Speaker 1: I agree with you on that, but no, I have
Speaker 1: you ever been to Mount Whitney, You ever climbed Mount Whitney?
Speaker 1: Ever seen Mount Whitney? Where is Mount Whitney? Where is it?
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly where since I've never been there,
Speaker 1: but maybe close to that level. As a kid, I
Speaker 1: must have been eighteen at the time I did the
Speaker 1: half Dome hike at Yosemite. Oh really yeah, and round trip.
Speaker 1: I think it's like sixteen miles. But going up, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, that killed me. And I was I was
Speaker 1: young at the time. I couldn't even do half that hike.
Speaker 1: Now I would die. Yeah. Whatever are Yeah, if you're
Speaker 1: ever planning a Yosemite trip and you are a hiker, definitely,
Speaker 1: um do the half Dome hike. That's awesome. According to
Speaker 1: the Internet, And Kevin's probably like rolling his eyes right
Speaker 1: now because I told you should have been. Mount Whitney
Speaker 1: is the highest mountain the continuous United States, as he
Speaker 1: said here in Nevada. It's actually kind of near Fresno.
Speaker 1: According to this bad Water America's lowest point bad Water
Speaker 1: Basin in Death Valley National Park. It's in too Layer.
Speaker 1: Oh to Larry to Larry, there you go. That's a
Speaker 1: good looking mountain. I die on that, though, I would
Speaker 1: make it up that you kidding me? Alright, what is next?
Speaker 1: Alright to Skip the Zip in Akron, Ohio writes and
Speaker 1: skipsmen with the show a long time Danny. He was
Speaker 1: the original roastmaster general before we did the weekly radio
Speaker 1: roast that we we used to have a few celebrity
Speaker 1: radio roast, like with Tim Tebow, and I think that
Speaker 1: was the first one. I remember a lot, but we've
Speaker 1: done some other random ones over the years. Anyway, Skip
Speaker 1: writes in uh, he went on a rant about Baker
Speaker 1: Mayfield and being in Ohio. He says, Uh, certain haters
Speaker 1: are already running out of their fifty five gallon drums
Speaker 1: of k y jelly thinking about how Baker Mayfield won't
Speaker 1: be under center for the Browns, and uh, you know anymore,
Speaker 1: this is the final game whatever after this year. The
Speaker 1: focus of my ire, Skip the Zip says, is on
Speaker 1: Kevin Steffan Ski says, I've tried to give him the
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt because I truly like him as
Speaker 1: a human, but is blatant misuse of the offensive weapons
Speaker 1: he was blessed with. Uh, that to have an abhorrent way.
Speaker 1: He failed to protect Baker. Mayfield achieved critical mass recently,
Speaker 1: Baker looked like absolute crap due to his numerous injuries
Speaker 1: and harness, and his inabilitating is his ability to move around.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah. Uh, and so he's ripping.
Speaker 1: Stefanski says all that said primarily because I feel I
Speaker 1: can talk to you. Well, thank you, Skip, I appreciate it. Uh,
Speaker 1: he says Ben. I must now end my long winded
Speaker 1: diet tribe with this question. Would you fire Kevin Stefanski
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, and if so, who
Speaker 1: the hell would you choose to replace him? To me,
Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski's no, I don't watch the Browns as close
Speaker 1: to as you do. I know. Baker went on a
Speaker 1: rant we talked about it on the radio show this week,
Speaker 1: where he was ripping the play, calling that he didn't
Speaker 1: put his name on it, but he told the writer
Speaker 1: in Cleveland and and all that. But the problem is,
Speaker 1: I think Mayfield's done, so then you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: start over with the coach again. I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't know, but I thought Stefanski's offense was fine. He
Speaker 1: he clearly didn't trust Baker Mayfield. That's why they ran
Speaker 1: the ball, right. If he trusted the quarterback, wouldn't he
Speaker 1: have thrown the ball more. I hate to say it,
Speaker 1: but Baker Mayfield reminds me of a young Carson Wentz. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just just inaccurate. And it's weird though, because it seemed
Speaker 1: like he was more accurate passing the football last season.
Speaker 1: And maybe you can attribute that to injuries or maybe
Speaker 1: that's an excuse. I don't I don't know, but I
Speaker 1: mean to blame Stefanski doesn't make a lot of sense
Speaker 1: because didn't he have a successful semi successful season last year? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: well they well they made the playoffs. They won a
Speaker 1: playoff game. But that was a gift from the Steelers though, right,
Speaker 1: I mean that was the Steve Ben Roethlisberger maybe threw
Speaker 1: all those interceptions on the game and set Cleveland up.
Speaker 1: And what a mess that the year ago, the Browns
Speaker 1: were like the team on the come in the end.
Speaker 1: I remember all the people betting team preseason. I remember,
Speaker 1: on two pros and a cup of Joe. I remember
Speaker 1: half of those guys picking the Browns to win that division,
Speaker 1: thinking to myself, Wow, this is the team that you're
Speaker 1: right that a lot of people thought we're gonna make
Speaker 1: another leap forward this year, and they looked pretty decent
Speaker 1: at the start of this season, but they fell apart fast. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was like right around the game they played the
Speaker 1: Chargers out here and their defense completely imploded. I was
Speaker 1: that game and it was like ridiculous. It was like
Speaker 1: nobody played any defense the entire day. Anyway, all right,
Speaker 1: what is next year? It's all right, calm down. Lord
Speaker 1: Goofa from Hooversville, USA says, for you, Ben and Danny
Speaker 1: g what is the best worst practical joke that you
Speaker 1: played on someone or that was played on you. Well,
Speaker 1: we've we've kind of been asked this before, Lord Goofa.
Speaker 1: The one that I used to do before the internet
Speaker 1: became big around the baseball trade deadline. I would take
Speaker 1: an old AP story that had, you know, somebody being traded,
Speaker 1: and I would put the most I re package it
Speaker 1: and I put the most outrageous trade of the day
Speaker 1: into an email and make it look like an AP
Speaker 1: wire story, and then I would send it to my
Speaker 1: buddies in the in the radio business. You know, back
Speaker 1: in email, we didn't you know, social media wasn't the thing,
Speaker 1: and and they would fall for it, or I'd send
Speaker 1: a text that I just got I'm at the radio station.
Speaker 1: There just massive trade down on the wire. You know,
Speaker 1: I drought ridiculous names and they fall for it. Now
Speaker 1: you can't do that anymore, right? Did I ever tell
Speaker 1: you how? When I was hosting a popular morning show
Speaker 1: in southern California, I did a bit for April Fools,
Speaker 1: But I started it a couple of days before April one,
Speaker 1: just to warm the audience up so that they wouldn't
Speaker 1: know it was a trick on just that one day.
Speaker 1: So what I did is a rumor started on the
Speaker 1: morning show that I hooked up with my ex and
Speaker 1: she got pregnant. Even the staff in my building thought
Speaker 1: it was real. I kept it going. It turned out
Speaker 1: to be this whole big thing on the air. People
Speaker 1: were calling me off the air, ben giving me warm embraces,
Speaker 1: giving me advice on how to deal with the situation,
Speaker 1: confiding in me, telling me, you know what, I had
Speaker 1: something similar happened. It was an unplanned pregnancy. I mean,
Speaker 1: opening up and pouring their guts out to me. I
Speaker 1: felt so bad because I knew when I said April
Speaker 1: fools that a lot of people were gonna be pissed.
Speaker 1: I got in way over my head. Oh by the way,
Speaker 1: before I said April fools, the general manager of my
Speaker 1: radio station at the time came in and asked me
Speaker 1: to come to the hallway and gave me a hug.
Speaker 1: So I fooled the general manager of the radio station
Speaker 1: I was. I thought for sure I was either going
Speaker 1: to get fired or suspended. I know, did he after
Speaker 1: the after the bit was revealed, He's like, wait a
Speaker 1: minute here, Well it was a she and she had yeah,
Speaker 1: great general manager. But I felt so bad when I
Speaker 1: said April fools on the air. It wasn't the payoff
Speaker 1: that I was hoping for. I didn't realize it was
Speaker 1: gonna tug at people, uh in their heart strings the
Speaker 1: way it did, and the way people thought they were
Speaker 1: gonna like come to my aid and help me through
Speaker 1: the situation. I just thought it was gonna be funny
Speaker 1: that I tricked everybody, But instead I learned a valuable
Speaker 1: lesson when it comes to personal things like that, don't
Speaker 1: go there with the jokes. Because so many people were
Speaker 1: calling me and talking to me off the air trying
Speaker 1: to console me. They were piste obviously when they found
Speaker 1: out it was all a joke. Oh yeah, of course.
Speaker 1: I mean because you're not supposed to joke about personal stuff, Danny.
Speaker 1: That's like the rule, right. It was gonna be my
Speaker 1: first kid. Wow. That's uh, that is unbelievable that I
Speaker 1: was gonna read some more emails. But that's a great
Speaker 1: way to end this. I don't know that we can
Speaker 1: top that story. So thanks to Brandon from Howell, he's
Speaker 1: a big fan. We didn't have time to get to
Speaker 1: your question. Tom from Fullerton, Jimmy from Fayetteville, Tennessee, and
Speaker 1: all you other guys. Uh, but we we did have
Speaker 1: your emails, but we didn't have time to get to him.
Speaker 1: But Danny Fete you tremendous weekend. I can't believe the
Speaker 1: voice held up. We recorded this after doing a night
Speaker 1: I did a night or radio and I was convinced
Speaker 1: I would not be able to do the podcast. But
Speaker 1: thanks to you helping me out here, saving me, carrying me,
Speaker 1: we made it through the entire weekend and hopefully I'll
Speaker 1: be sounding much better tonight. Good job by you. This
Speaker 1: is your Michael Jordan's COVID game. Yeah exactly, yes, I
Speaker 1: I proved. And just for the record, I missed one
Speaker 1: show with COVID, but really even really need to miss
Speaker 1: the one show, Uh to be I could have worked.
Speaker 1: But but anyway, I feel fine. But I have a
Speaker 1: great last NFL Sunday, and uh, thank you, and we'll
Speaker 1: be back next week and we'll probably get back into
Speaker 1: the interviews on Friday and that kind of normal. Uh
Speaker 1: rigam roar. But to have a tremendous rest of your weekend.
Speaker 1: Catch me on the radio tonight and find us on
Speaker 1: Twitter and all that good stuff, and we will catch
Speaker 1: you next time. Thank you. Go Raiders win in your end, baby,
