Speaker 1: Kabbooms.
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 Mallard starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere, and a happy happy Saturday to you.
Speaker 1: It is the day before the day before, a day
Speaker 1: that many look forward to. This the twenty third day
Speaker 1: of the great month of December. Happy Saturday to you.
Speaker 1: The Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler and Danny g Radio
Speaker 1: in the air everywhere worldwide, thanks to the power of
Speaker 1: the pod. The power of the pod. And we'll jump
Speaker 1: right into it. Danny. We had a spicy hot pod
Speaker 1: on Friday, very sporty with Yamamoto, the news coming down
Speaker 1: on Thursday leading into our Friday morning sojourn there with
Speaker 1: Yamamoto going to the Dodgers and people up in arms.
Speaker 1: I did enjoy. I'm not gonna lie. I didn't consume
Speaker 1: too much social media, but I was on there and
Speaker 1: the people that were outraged by that, and just the
Speaker 1: Dodgers in general. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it like
Speaker 1: somehow that's a bad thing that the Dodgers spent a
Speaker 1: sack load of money to get good players, like they
Speaker 1: should be shamed for doing that. And I don't get that. Logic.
Speaker 3: Sports radio in the Bay Area I heard that it
Speaker 3: was a shit show on Friday morning and all day
Speaker 3: Friday with all the San Francisco Giants fans whining.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen Yankee fans posting videos and Yankee fans
Speaker 1: Danny the personification, the epitome of deep pocket baseball. The
Speaker 1: New York Yankees and some of their fans are furious
Speaker 1: right that the Dodgers now sit in the lap of
Speaker 1: luxury and all that. But anyway, I just got to
Speaker 1: kick out of this. I wanted to mention that at
Speaker 1: the start. But on this the Saturday Pod, we've got
Speaker 1: the poster boy Bennie's Big Board, Ho Ho Hospital, and
Speaker 1: we'll have some other fun I'm sure Danny some things
Speaker 1: you want to toss into the to the stew here.
Speaker 1: And by the way, since this is a holiday weekend,
Speaker 1: the powers that be have informed us this podcast because
Speaker 1: it is Christmas weekend, a two for one bonus pod.
Speaker 1: We are going to jam into this podcast two podcasts
Speaker 1: for the price of one. You can't do that. You can't.
Speaker 1: That's wicked good is what that is? Right, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's amazing.
Speaker 4: Nuts, that's a bargain.
Speaker 3: Normally you only have to pay US five ninety nine
Speaker 3: to subscribe to this show. This is free this weekend,
Speaker 3: and it's two shows inside one day.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's a two for one special. Buy one,
Speaker 1: get one free, and that's what we have going for it.
Speaker 1: And you're very lucky that you've stumbled.
Speaker 4: Perfect timing because I'm going to be at Disneyland tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Okay, well there you go. All right, So we have
Speaker 1: we have the greatest supporters in all of radio land.
Speaker 1: Very blessed, the very blessed. I've been doing this a
Speaker 1: long time, and yeah, the people that listen to the
Speaker 1: Overnight Show have been so amazing, so wonderful. This week,
Speaker 1: I was blown away. It takes a lot for me
Speaker 1: to be blown away. It happens every so often, and
Speaker 1: usually it happens when you don't expect it happens. So
Speaker 1: our friend Femi, who I actually met in Minnesota. He
Speaker 1: lives in Minnesota. He's the number one Uber East driver
Speaker 1: in the Twin Cities. He's become a brigadier general in
Speaker 1: the mal Or Militia. And he dropped what I would
Speaker 1: call a thunderbolt my direction. Just on a random night.
Speaker 1: I'm just doing the show, whatever people have sending comments
Speaker 1: in nothing out of the ordinary, just normal radio night,
Speaker 1: and then right out of left field, Femi posts the
Speaker 1: message on social He informs me that I hadn't heard
Speaker 1: from him in a while. Usually checks in every week
Speaker 1: with some content. He informed me that his father had
Speaker 1: passed away. I was like, well, that's sad, and he
Speaker 1: said there was an elaborate funeral in his homeland in Nigeria,
Speaker 1: and he attached a couple of photos. And in these
Speaker 1: photos you might have seen them if you follow me
Speaker 1: on social media. If not, they're available. We saw a
Speaker 1: group of Nigerians holding up a poster that had my
Speaker 1: ugly mug on it and the Ben mal show name
Speaker 1: and the Fox Ports radio logo. As Femi the photo
Speaker 1: journalist said he had I'd converted some of the locals
Speaker 1: there in his native Nigeria into the mal Or Militia,
Speaker 1: and he claimed in Nigerian culture, when someone dies, we
Speaker 1: have the celebration of life everywhere, but in Nigeria they
Speaker 1: do like a carnival thing for two days to celebrate,
Speaker 1: as Femi said, a life well lived. So this just
Speaker 1: blew mey. So from La to Nigeria, we do the
Speaker 1: show in La seven eight hundred and twelve miles to
Speaker 1: get from where we are to Nigeria in the middle
Speaker 1: of Africa, and they're promoting the show. Was it was
Speaker 1: really cool, wild wild wild, So thank you, Femi. I
Speaker 1: do appreciate that, and in honor of that, I was inspired.
Speaker 1: Now I don't do list Danny. You know I'm not
Speaker 1: a list guy, right.
Speaker 4: No, not at all. You do big boards, that's right.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna do big board, which is not a list.
Speaker 1: It's not a checklist. It's not a watch list. It's
Speaker 1: not a hot list, it's not a short list. It
Speaker 1: is none of those things. Wrong. It is a big board,
Speaker 1: which is much different. And oftentimes people are confused by
Speaker 1: big board. So don't be confused, right at all. It's
Speaker 1: like the stock market. It's the Dow Jones, it's the
Speaker 1: New York Stock Exchange, which is not a big board.
Speaker 1: It's not.
Speaker 3: It's just like how the mail bag is not anything
Speaker 3: like ask Ben.
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly. See, you get it right. The mail bag.
Speaker 1: People confuse that all the time because people are stupid.
Speaker 1: It's nothing like the mail bag. The mail bag and Aspen,
Speaker 1: they're not They're not the same. So on Big Ben's
Speaker 1: Big board, this is the first time I've ever done this,
Speaker 1: the ten most memorable things at this time that a
Speaker 1: p One has done as a super fan of the
Speaker 1: Ben Malor Show over the years. And I guarantee you
Speaker 1: I'm forgetting a bunch of stuff that's really good, stuff
Speaker 1: that happened and it just slipped through my memory. So
Speaker 1: I would like if Anthony and Anaheim here's this, or
Speaker 1: Alf the Alien opineer, any of the guys that have
Speaker 1: been with the show for a long time that have
Speaker 1: listened chipping the cues, who's been with me since the
Speaker 1: early days, if you can refresh my memory on some
Speaker 1: of the stuff I forgot. So with that as the backdrop,
Speaker 1: immediately admitting this is probably a terrible list, which is
Speaker 1: not a list, it's a big board. So these are
Speaker 1: the ten most memorable things that p ones have done
Speaker 1: as super fans of the Ben Mahler Show at my
Speaker 1: time at Fox Sports Radio. In no particular order. I'm
Speaker 1: not putting these because that would make it a list, dandy.
Speaker 1: If I put them in a certain order, that would
Speaker 1: be a list. But there are ten things in no
Speaker 1: particular order that we can move around. We can put
Speaker 1: one here and move one down and all that. I'm
Speaker 1: fine with that. But the first one I want to
Speaker 1: bring up is Doc Mike. Now, Doc has done a
Speaker 1: couple of anythings with me over the years. The two
Speaker 1: things that Doc Mike has done that I want to
Speaker 1: mention for the Big Board. Uh. One of my favorite
Speaker 1: memories of Doc is when Michael Vick was in prison
Speaker 1: in Levenworth in Kansas and Doc Mike so delusional that
Speaker 1: he was convinced that Michael Vick wanted to talk to
Speaker 1: him and that he just had to travel to Levenworth
Speaker 1: prison to meet with Michael Vick. So Doc got in
Speaker 1: his car from Chicago, drove to Levenworth, Kansas, and every
Speaker 1: day for a week he would go into Levenworth and
Speaker 1: try to meet with Michael Vick, and the wardens would be, well,
Speaker 1: you're not on the list. He doesn't you know, he
Speaker 1: doesn't know you can't come in. And Doc would call
Speaker 1: me from leven outside Levenworth. He's like, I'm here, I'm here.
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for them to open up. You know, it's
Speaker 1: a few hours away. They're gonna open up. And it was.
Speaker 1: It was ridiculous. And then the other one, which is
Speaker 1: doctored this several years. The most famous one was he'd
Speaker 1: go to Wrigley Field every year and drop a goat
Speaker 1: head off the Curse of the Billy Goat, and the
Speaker 1: Cubs obviously won the World Series since this happened. But
Speaker 1: this is a long time ago, and so he do
Speaker 1: this every year. One year before a Cub Giant game,
Speaker 1: he drops off the goat head. Now the game ends
Speaker 1: up getting rained out. And since the Cub game got
Speaker 1: rained out at Wrigley Opening Day, the sports writers had
Speaker 1: nothing to write, so instead they wrote about this goatthead.
Speaker 1: I'm going to decapitate a goat, bloody goatthead that had
Speaker 1: been dropped off by a lunatic fan, and I will
Speaker 1: never forget. The then mayor of Chicago, rom Emmanuel was
Speaker 1: his name at the time, and he held a news
Speaker 1: conference announcing that no resource would not be used to
Speaker 1: find out who put the goat head at Wrigley Field.
Speaker 1: He said the Chicago police were going to investigate this.
Speaker 1: They we're gonna get to the bottom of it, and
Speaker 1: we doc Mike like he laid out the whole blueprint
Speaker 1: on the air of what he was doing. It was,
Speaker 1: and then the mayor of Chicagoo, We're gonna get to
Speaker 1: the bottom of this. I think, well, I think we
Speaker 1: know who did it. I think we know who did it.
Speaker 1: Another name that popped up on my big board here
Speaker 1: David from winter Park, Florida, along with Roscoe the Parrot.
Speaker 1: So David went above and beyond the call of duty here.
Speaker 1: He drove from winter Park, Florida, which is I'm told
Speaker 1: I've never been to winter Park, Florida, but I've told
Speaker 1: it's kind of not far from Orlando. And he drove
Speaker 1: up I ninety five to Boston with Roscoe the parrot,
Speaker 1: a giant stuffed animal, Roscoe the Parrot and met me
Speaker 1: at the Cask and Flagon in Boston for the Malor
Speaker 1: Meet and greed and that that was just nuts it
Speaker 1: and that was only I was for like a couple hour.
Speaker 1: He's meet and greets are a couple hours and he
Speaker 1: drove all the way from Florida to hang out for
Speaker 1: a couple hours at a random bar in Boston. So
Speaker 1: that was that was pretty cool. And then at that
Speaker 1: same event, Wayne from Southey is also on Big Ben's
Speaker 1: Big Board the ten most memorable things that Pee Ones
Speaker 1: have done as super fans in the show. Because Wayne
Speaker 1: from Southee, this is a guy. I did it for Mallor.
Speaker 1: I did it for Malor and he claimed he had
Speaker 1: been sober for a number of years and he kept
Speaker 1: buying me alcohol and buying people shots in the bar
Speaker 1: and he wanted everyone to toast me. And so he
Speaker 1: and I've been sober, you know, we have the drop.
Speaker 1: And then I forget what exactly what he said, but
Speaker 1: I did it for Mallor and that was hilarious. What
Speaker 1: a great character Wayne from Southee is. And he didn't
Speaker 1: call the show much anymore, but he was just wonderful.
Speaker 1: We love Wayne. It was great. Now, also on the
Speaker 1: Big Board, we have Ed in Spokane. Now. Ed actually
Speaker 1: makes a couple appearances on Big Ben's Big Board. This
Speaker 1: one was from the Malor Man March in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: Wandering the streets of Seattle. Me and Ed and Jay
Speaker 1: Scoop was there, and Robbie the Mariner fan, and we
Speaker 1: had several other superstar listeners of the show from the
Speaker 1: Pacific Northwest that had united for the malor Man March
Speaker 1: from a certain point in downtown Seattle to the Seahawks Stadium.
Speaker 1: They're playing the forty nine ers. It was like the
Speaker 1: last week of the season the winner got in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: and so it was a big deal, and of course
Speaker 1: such a big deal they wouldn't let me in the stadium.
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, nonetheless we marched, and Wayne had his or
Speaker 1: not Wayne ed ed excuse me, Ed had his bullhorn
Speaker 1: and was doing chance and homeless people were yelling at
Speaker 1: him to shut up. They homeless in Seattle because he
Speaker 1: was so annoying. Ben Mahler Show. Listen to the Ben
Speaker 1: Mahler Show. Also, as we continue Big Benny's Big Board,
Speaker 1: here the ten most memorable things that pe Ones have
Speaker 1: done as super fans of the show over the years.
Speaker 1: And please add to this if I'm forgetting something, how
Speaker 1: about Pete and Pittsburgh when the company laid me off
Speaker 1: in August of actually was January's January of nine, January
Speaker 1: twentieth o nine, I got laid off. I was rehired
Speaker 1: in August, six months and twenty six days later, but
Speaker 1: heat in Pittsburgh called into the King of All Media,
Speaker 1: Howard Stearn's radio show, to say how upset he was
Speaker 1: that I had been laid off. And so Howard talked
Speaker 1: about my situation with Pete and Pittsburgh and not just mine,
Speaker 1: but so many people, good hardworking radio people that were
Speaker 1: whacked on that faithful day. And it was really funny
Speaker 1: because I had a bunch of relatives that aren't sports
Speaker 1: fans that were Stern fans, and I had people reaching
Speaker 1: out to me. Did you see your name was mentioned?
Speaker 1: Do you hear your name was mentioned on the Stern Show?
Speaker 1: And so I want to thank Pete for that.
Speaker 4: That's cool. I never heard that story.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was really it was really wild. And I
Speaker 1: actually have the audio of somebody sent me a copy
Speaker 1: of it. I haven't in my inbox. But that was
Speaker 1: that was cool. Now, to be fair, I mean I've
Speaker 1: ripped Howard. I think Howard lost his fastball, but only
Speaker 1: recently within the last like five seven years. This was
Speaker 1: this goes back about fifteen years now. Number number five,
Speaker 1: but again no particular order, But this is the fifth
Speaker 1: name we'll put on the list, which is not a list,
Speaker 1: it's Benny's big board. So number five random Cleveland fan.
Speaker 1: Now I don't have the name of this person. I
Speaker 1: don't know whether they're actually a fan or not. But
Speaker 1: what they did was what a p one would do.
Speaker 1: So we'll go back to the year twenty sixteen. I
Speaker 1: believe it was the Cleveland Cadavers had beaten the Golden State,
Speaker 1: or as they'd come back to beat Golden State. This
Speaker 1: was the series. Raymond Green played the Nutcracker and got suspended,
Speaker 1: and that turned the series around, allowed Cleveland to get
Speaker 1: back in the series so that they win. The Cavaliers
Speaker 1: win the championship, and I'm whatever, I'm moving on with
Speaker 1: my life. They have a massive parade, massive rally in
Speaker 1: downtown Cleveland, and that evening I'm getting people sending me
Speaker 1: photos that were taken by newspapers and news websites from
Speaker 1: the parade, and a random person I don't know who
Speaker 1: this is. I've never seen this person before or after
Speaker 1: this incident, was walking around the parade with a giant
Speaker 1: poster board and on the poster board were the photos
Speaker 1: of Skip Bayless steven A Smith, Yours truly and a
Speaker 1: couple of the random people, and they had listed all
Speaker 1: of us as Lebron Halves, haters, trash who were picking
Speaker 1: against the Calves and said they weren't going to win
Speaker 1: the big championship. And so it was hilarious because I'm
Speaker 1: like right next to stephen A and Skip Bayless, which
Speaker 1: is our accountants. Actually, Danny say the same, You're right
Speaker 1: in the same tax bracket as stephen A and Skip Baalis.
Speaker 1: But it was a great photo and I actually have
Speaker 1: it up in my studio where I do a lot
Speaker 1: of the work from here because it's it's like a
Speaker 1: million people behind this guy. He's holding up a poster
Speaker 1: with all of our photos on it. It was just
Speaker 1: it was priceless. So it was just absolutely precious. Also,
Speaker 1: Femi's obviously on the list. We already mentioned Femi the
Speaker 1: Nigerian funeral for his father, the Malor poster, which was great.
Speaker 1: I've got a few more on Benny's big board. How
Speaker 1: about Fats from Philadelphia lighting himself on fire during the
Speaker 1: COVID NFL draft of twenty twenty and screaming my name
Speaker 1: that was that was amazing. He lit his chest on fire.
Speaker 1: He also later on he did the doc mic thing,
Speaker 1: drank some of the yellow juice, and he did it
Speaker 1: right from the tap Danny, Oh yeah, well yeah, And
Speaker 1: he ended up showing all of the internet little fats
Speaker 1: which we didn't need to see. But the fats is
Speaker 1: an all time great typical Philadelphia hardcore Eagles Neanderthal fan.
Speaker 1: Also and in Spokane is on here again on Big
Speaker 1: Ben's big board. This is arguably the funniest thing and
Speaker 1: some would say the most controversial thing that anyone's done
Speaker 1: for the show. This goes back again to the pandemic
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty when the world was shut down and
Speaker 1: all that they were protesters, the James Floyd situation and
Speaker 1: all that that was going on as a wild time,
Speaker 1: and there was a Black Lives Matter ralegh is all
Speaker 1: over the place and edin' Spokane, Washington showed up to
Speaker 1: a Black Lives Matter rally protest in somewhere. I don't
Speaker 1: think it was in Spokane, but somewhere, you know, in Washington.
Speaker 1: He shows up at the rally. People are all upset
Speaker 1: and they're complaining and protesting and the whole thing, and
Speaker 1: he's got a megaphone, listen to the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 1: You know he's.
Speaker 4: Oh man.
Speaker 1: The thing about Ed is he has no filter. Like
Speaker 1: a lot of people would be like, I can't do that.
Speaker 1: I'd be so embarrassed, you know, I don't want to
Speaker 1: do that. But edin' Spokane is like, no, screw it,
Speaker 1: I don't care. He's got no shame in his game.
Speaker 1: And it's just the video of him screaming to listen
Speaker 1: to the Ben Mahler Show overnights you know, and see
Speaker 1: you in Seattle, Washington, whatever, and the looks on the
Speaker 1: face of the people there that are protesting is what
Speaker 1: are you doing?
Speaker 4: It was.
Speaker 1: It was absolutely priceless, and I would be remiss if
Speaker 1: you do it. Benny's big board and not mentioning the
Speaker 1: greatest advertising anyone could ask for from a listener. Moving
Speaker 1: Man Matt from Boston with his mobile Mallard billboard. Yeah
Speaker 1: that he's got two trucks, moving trucks. He goes from
Speaker 1: coast to coast moving thousands of pounds of product, and
Speaker 1: he has the very bottom on each side of his
Speaker 1: truck promotion of the Ben Maler Show, and so that
Speaker 1: that's just amazing. So thank you Moving Man Matt. I'm
Speaker 1: sure I'm missing a bunch.
Speaker 3: I got a couple really quick. What do you okay?
Speaker 3: How about the cake benefactor?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we were getting cake every other week. And
Speaker 1: not just cake Dandy. These were designer cakes. These were
Speaker 1: luxury cakes every single week. These were pieces of art
Speaker 1: that we were getting. I want a camel.
Speaker 4: It was so amazing.
Speaker 3: And then also I got to add to that list
Speaker 3: Rod and Bakersfield. He brought steak to the studio and
Speaker 3: he also had us out for a steak dinner when
Speaker 3: we were at the baseball game there.
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, Yeah, we're in Bakersfield. Closed the whole
Speaker 1: team down. Yes, the Bakersfield Blaze. They were a blaze, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Mallard burned it down. Yeah, we were. The curse of
Speaker 1: the Ben Bino was in effect there. Yeah, that was
Speaker 1: very kind of rot.
Speaker 3: And there's been a few listeners Ben that treated us
Speaker 3: to fat sALS. I'm thinking of Big Lou who treated
Speaker 3: us a few times, and a couple others. Thank you
Speaker 3: when I was on your live show. Thank you for
Speaker 3: the extra ten twelve pounds I gained while I was there.
Speaker 3: I'm working so hard even now to get rid of
Speaker 3: that weight.
Speaker 1: No, absolutely, and everyone's been been amazing and people have
Speaker 1: been so kind. I know, when the pandemic was going on,
Speaker 1: people were just like sending us random stuff in the mail,
Speaker 1: like just you mean so much, just like so important.
Speaker 1: Here's here's a hat, here's a shirt.
Speaker 3: From mugs to stickers to that woman that sent us
Speaker 3: the Boston hot Dogs.
Speaker 1: Oh that's yes, I completely that's a that's another one.
Speaker 1: I I had a guy in Boston who was a
Speaker 1: big fan, and I love the Finway Monster Dog, which is,
Speaker 1: to me, the greatest ballpark hot dog I've ever had,
Speaker 1: and you can buy them in the grocery stores around Boston.
Speaker 1: I don't live in Boston, and so this guy every
Speaker 1: year would overnight a giant and I say giant. This
Speaker 1: thing was massive. There were probably fifty hot dogs or
Speaker 1: more in this thing, and he just overnighted and there
Speaker 1: you go. We had Finway Monster Dogs, Finway Franks and
Speaker 1: I would grill those things up during the summer and
Speaker 1: it was just awesome. So a wonderful gesture for sure,
Speaker 1: And thanks to everyone else, and really really really cool,
Speaker 1: really really really cool. I know there were some other stuff,
Speaker 1: Danny Ray, you had some things on your mind. You
Speaker 1: wanted to share with the class this week and things
Speaker 1: that have happened as we wind down heading in this
Speaker 1: is a two for one special this holiday weekend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wanted to ask you a fun question that
Speaker 3: we covered on Old School and fifty Hits.
Speaker 4: This past Thursday.
Speaker 3: On Covino and Rich it was National ba Humbug Day
Speaker 3: and the question was what's one thing that everybody else
Speaker 3: loves but you hate. We got some great calls, really
Speaker 3: good stories from the guys dumb for my answer, but
Speaker 3: they laughed because I said soup. Not a fan of soup, No,
Speaker 3: because my mom used to serve tomato soup and I'd say,
Speaker 3: what's for dinner and she'd say the soup that's on
Speaker 3: the table, and I'm like, that's not dinner.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Soup's not dinner. It's an appetizer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you, unless it's a hearty like
Speaker 1: a thick chicken soup with lots of chicken. But for
Speaker 1: the most part, ninety eight percent of soup is not
Speaker 1: It's just it doesn't fill you up.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then after if you can think of one, well,
Speaker 3: I tell you this lady called in Amber from Dallas.
Speaker 3: She called in and she ranted in a fun way,
Speaker 3: but she ranted on what she called Disneyland adults.
Speaker 4: Disney adults people.
Speaker 3: Who are grown but still act like little kids when
Speaker 3: they get to go to Disneyland and they wear the
Speaker 3: ears and they go maybe without kids. She was trying
Speaker 3: to make the point that only kids belong at that park.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, she hates it. Everyone else loves it. She
Speaker 4: hates it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's a Debbie Downer. I'm famous for I can't
Speaker 1: say I hate this because I've never had it, but coffee.
Speaker 1: So many people love coffee. I've never had a cup
Speaker 1: of coffee. And like everywhere I go, Tom Looney know,
Speaker 1: I do the TV show with Benny versus the Penny.
Speaker 1: He's always trying to every week. You just have some coffee.
Speaker 1: You know, you should really drink some coffee. Like it's
Speaker 1: like this peer pressure my wife, you drink some CoFe
Speaker 1: should really have some coffee. You know your life would
Speaker 1: be better with coffee. I'm like, no, I don't need
Speaker 1: the coffee.
Speaker 4: You just hate hearing people talk about it.
Speaker 1: The other one, much like you with your mom and
Speaker 1: the soup. My mom loved turkey, bless her soul, So
Speaker 1: anytime anything big happened in the family birthday holiday, she
Speaker 1: would run to make a turkey. I ate so much
Speaker 1: turkey that I don't like turkey anymore. I hate it.
Speaker 3: We had a caller who called up and said his
Speaker 3: uncle bought big tubs of peanut butter, and for months
Speaker 3: and months and months they lived off that peanut butter.
Speaker 3: And to this day he can no longer eat peanut butter.
Speaker 3: Whatso whoever, that reminds me of that. And I'll say
Speaker 3: for my mom, besides that tomato soup, she used to
Speaker 3: serve us baloney sandwiches all the time. It got to
Speaker 3: the point where I asked her, I said, is there
Speaker 3: anything else we could put in the bread? If I
Speaker 3: even smelled bloni right now, I would probably vomit.
Speaker 1: Yeah. For me, the sandwich was tunafish. My mom loved
Speaker 1: to give me a tuna fish sandwich because she read
Speaker 1: in some magazine that was healthy for you. Of course,
Speaker 1: it probably had so much mercury at that time when
Speaker 1: I was a kid.
Speaker 4: I don't know that mercury and mayonnaise.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. It was covered in mayonnaise. But the problem
Speaker 1: was she would put an ice pack in there. But
Speaker 1: I'd go to school at seven thirty in the morning,
Speaker 1: you know, started at eight, and it was hot in
Speaker 1: a late you know, early in the year be hot,
Speaker 1: and the ice pack would wear off by the time
Speaker 1: I got the lunch. It was a warm tuna fish sandwich. Gross,
Speaker 1: not really to my taste, buds, I did not really
Speaker 1: enjoy a warm tuna fish sandwich. So that's the only fish.
Speaker 1: That's why the last fish I ate. This next tale
Speaker 1: is very relatable. Now. Recently I made my annual trip
Speaker 1: to the North Pole. What a perfect time this holiday
Speaker 1: weekend here the day before, the day before that matters,
Speaker 1: so our tradition of taking Rudolph the rent Nose reindeer
Speaker 1: to Santa's workshop yours truly, wearing a Santa suit, as
Speaker 1: I portrayed the legendary character Santa Claus Chris Kringle each
Speaker 1: year give back to the community. The wife is a
Speaker 1: public servant as a nine to one to one operator
Speaker 1: in the town she works in. I get to play
Speaker 1: Santa Claus and I get strapped to the back of
Speaker 1: a fire truck. In fact, I'll put some photos online
Speaker 1: later today so you can see see what I've got
Speaker 1: going on. But we ride around the town my wife
Speaker 1: works in with a police escort, and I wave at men,
Speaker 1: women and children as I spread holiday joy and fun
Speaker 1: fact about Santa Claus. Now, according to the Internet, this
Speaker 1: must be true because I read it on the Internet,
Speaker 1: and the Internet's never wrong. The modern American version of
Speaker 1: the suit is attributed to a guy named Thomas Nast
Speaker 1: who was working for Harper's Weekly magazine, and it's often
Speaker 1: confused with Coca Cola. Now Coca Cola. This guy, Hayden's
Speaker 1: sun Bloom is the guy's name. He standardized what the
Speaker 1: image of Santa looks like, and because of Coca Cola,
Speaker 1: they had the red suit and the white for trim,
Speaker 1: which is what we associate with ever since then. But
Speaker 1: this goes back way back to the eighteen hundreds, and
Speaker 1: the image that was drawn by this guy, Thomas Nast,
Speaker 1: is what is Santa Claus. He took and combined created
Speaker 1: the modern version of Santa Claus, which was based on
Speaker 1: a couple of German figures Saint Nicholas, and we Hashtisman
Speaker 1: probably butchered that not great with Germany racist. But this
Speaker 1: guy Nast, who's been dead for over one hundred years,
Speaker 1: I believe now, But what a contribution to still modern
Speaker 1: society because he created what is the image of Santa
Speaker 1: Claus as people know it in the Western world. But
Speaker 1: also he created the elephant, which is the symbol for
Speaker 1: the Republican Party. That you know, that drawing of the elephant. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was his, that was his, that he came up
Speaker 1: with it. And they still the Republican car the Republican
Speaker 1: Party still uses that as there they're met all these
Speaker 1: years later, and he's he's been called the father of
Speaker 1: American cartoon, the father of the American cartoons. So anyway,
Speaker 1: I get back to the point. Please all right, So
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but I just got cured. But back to
Speaker 1: my day of Santa Claus. So I had a blast.
Speaker 1: People genuinely enjoyed the night. That's the vibe I got.
Speaker 1: A lot of kiddos were smiling. I know things were
Speaker 1: going well because I saw a lot of statue of liberties.
Speaker 1: You know what the statue of liberty is, Daniel, When
Speaker 1: you're at an event and everyone's holding up their arm
Speaker 1: and yeah, photos like they're this, you know, holding up
Speaker 1: the torch, this Lady Liberty and so that was kind
Speaker 1: of cool. People wanted to record it.
Speaker 4: Now did you get to throw candy?
Speaker 1: I did not, but people, some of the people, some
Speaker 1: of the jokesters were actually throwing like like they were
Speaker 1: fake snowballs. They were like little like cloth snowballs, and
Speaker 1: so they would throw them at me, and every once
Speaker 1: in a while I would catch one and throw it
Speaker 1: back at him, and they were howling like when I
Speaker 1: threw it back, like, well, Santa Claus is throwing a
Speaker 1: snowball back at us. That's the funniest thing in the world.
Speaker 1: So this lasted like three I was we went up
Speaker 1: in the mountains. It was a mountain community, went up
Speaker 1: in the mountains. It was very cold, probably in the
Speaker 1: high thirties when we went up to the mountains there,
Speaker 1: and I'm just wearing a Santa suit doing my thing,
Speaker 1: and everything's great. The hardest part of that, you know what,
Speaker 1: the hardest part of the day was, Danny, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take a guess.
Speaker 4: When you had a urinate.
Speaker 1: No, I didn't drink water all day because I didn't
Speaker 1: want to have to urinate and get out of the
Speaker 1: Santa suit. So that was not the problem. The hardest
Speaker 1: part was getting off the fire truck. And this is
Speaker 1: a dicey situation. So in my haste needed a crane. Well,
Speaker 1: in my haste, daddy. It was hard enough to get
Speaker 1: on the fire truck, the very top of the fire truck,
Speaker 1: but then to get off the fire truck. Now, as
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a gymnast and I am, like I
Speaker 1: do yoga, I'm very flexible. Wrong again, And as I
Speaker 1: was crawling on the roof of the fire truck to
Speaker 1: reach over the side to try to put my massive
Speaker 1: feet on the steps to get off said fire truck.
Speaker 1: I get down off the truck, and it was like
Speaker 1: that classic episode of the old comedy The Honeymooners. Oh
Speaker 1: my aching back. I had lower back pain for most
Speaker 1: of the last week, and I'm like walking around like
Speaker 1: an old guy. I could not even like bend over.
Speaker 1: It was like I couldn't sleep on my side. I
Speaker 1: had to sleep. It's where you have to sleep on
Speaker 1: your back when you hurt your back, you have to
Speaker 1: kind of lay flat. And took most of the week
Speaker 1: before my back kind of snapped back in place. But
Speaker 1: it was like, I mean, I'm at the age now
Speaker 1: we're even getting off a freaking fire truck. I might
Speaker 1: end up damaging myself. So it was it was whole, whole,
Speaker 1: whole hospital. But unfortunately did not have to go to
Speaker 1: the hospital. I probably should have had it checked out,
Speaker 1: but I knew I had just twisted a muscle at
Speaker 1: my lower back, and I was like, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: be fine. And plus I couldn't really complain about it.
Speaker 1: I didn't mention it on the radio because I have
Speaker 1: pointed out, and this is hand to god, a true
Speaker 1: story when I covered the NBA back in the nineties,
Speaker 1: and this was like a running joke among the coaches
Speaker 1: and whatnot.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, the famous back injury.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when like a player went out and had a
Speaker 1: little too much fun with the ladies and the boothe
Speaker 1: both and they wanted to miss a game, they'd come
Speaker 1: up with a lower back injury. Because at that time,
Speaker 1: and I still think this is the case, there's no
Speaker 1: there's no test, there's no real treatment that you can do.
Speaker 1: It's just, you know, it's when it feels better, you're
Speaker 1: able to play and all that stuff. And so it's
Speaker 1: a phantom injury exactly. So I can't say, well, I
Speaker 1: had a lower back injury. I couldn't miss work. I
Speaker 1: have a lower back injury. So because everyone knows that's
Speaker 1: a bogus injury. But I had it and it hurt
Speaker 1: like a mofo. I was like, damn, I know you've
Speaker 1: had some backstuff, Danny, right, you've had some issues from
Speaker 1: now now and again right to pop up.
Speaker 4: In fact, what was it?
Speaker 3: It was Thursday afternoon that Covino was complaining about a
Speaker 3: back injury he has. He did it at the gym,
Speaker 3: and then he re injured it by getting into his
Speaker 3: car really quick because of the downpour. He like contorted
Speaker 3: his body in a weird way to get into the
Speaker 3: car extra fast because of the rain, and so he
Speaker 3: retweaked it. He was groaning in pain. Rich called him
Speaker 3: a pussy on the air and he stopped complaining. But
Speaker 3: I busted out one of those Shaquille O'Neal sticks that
Speaker 3: numb the lower back.
Speaker 4: The roller Oh those.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, man, I have that in my backpack because
Speaker 3: from time to time my lower back barks to the
Speaker 3: point where I got to roll that bad boy on
Speaker 3: there and just numb it.
Speaker 1: Ruh. Yeah, It's like, yeah, come on, Like I don't
Speaker 1: feel that old, but stuff like that happens. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I can't even get off a fire truck, like I
Speaker 1: used to jump off those things. It was no problem.
Speaker 1: But then I was like, I gotta I gotta have
Speaker 1: like an army of people around me to make sure
Speaker 1: I go slowly and not jump off the truck. And
Speaker 1: what a pain in Okas, we do have a Backscratcher
Speaker 1: this week, and we'll just get to that real quickly.
Speaker 1: This is on the Apple podcast page. Follow the podcast
Speaker 1: and then you can really help us out if you
Speaker 1: post a review. It's in the description. Danny, make sure
Speaker 1: to put it in there. Every episode we had one
Speaker 1: from I don't think this is the real name, Kwang
Speaker 1: from Vietnam. Now maybe we have a listener in Vietnam.
Speaker 1: It's possible.
Speaker 4: Probably not one of your brother's friends that he's going
Speaker 4: to visit.
Speaker 1: That's right, yeah, he says. Headline fight Club. On the
Speaker 1: Backscratcher review, he says, these guys never even ask for reviews,
Speaker 1: which is nice, So I figured i'd review out of
Speaker 1: the kindness of my heart. Five stars.
Speaker 4: The review. Nice. See that's what we're saying. It's fight club.
Speaker 4: You don't mention it in you go the other direction
Speaker 4: like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. See, this is what we were hoping for. Unlike
Speaker 1: the Donkey last week, I think it was who was Well,
Speaker 1: these guys have been really nice of management. Didn't that
Speaker 1: force them to ask for people to post the you
Speaker 1: know things on the backscratcher They're like, oh.
Speaker 4: Man, yeah, man, play it off. Be cool, all right.
Speaker 1: I know we're not doing foody fun. I did have
Speaker 1: some foody fun, so I just wanted to mention the
Speaker 1: big story in food and we're not gonna have time
Speaker 1: to get to the meat of this. But Costco did
Speaker 1: you see the news? Did this come up on Covino
Speaker 1: and Rich They are discontinuing one of their popular items
Speaker 1: in the food court. It's going away in twenty twenty four. Costco,
Speaker 1: did you see us? They're eliminating the Truro. They're getting
Speaker 1: rid of the turo what and in the place of
Speaker 1: the turo they will put in a jumbo sized chocolate
Speaker 1: chip cookie, so churros out, chalk flit chip cookie in
Speaker 1: and as an added bonus, we are told that Costco
Speaker 1: is going to add in the summer of twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: corner to internet speculation, chocolate ice cream to the food court.
Speaker 1: They added strawberry I Scream, which was a I didn't
Speaker 1: think that would be good, but I love it. I
Speaker 1: get to bury Sunday with the strawberry ice cream at
Speaker 1: the food court. Yeah, oh man, it's a nice upgrade.
Speaker 3: On this podcast, we've mentioned the old school McDonald's burning
Speaker 3: hot apple pies. Yes, yes, I didn't get to test
Speaker 3: it because I'm on a no sugar kick right now.
Speaker 3: Do you ever go to Panda Express.
Speaker 1: Every once in a while. Yeah, I will go there,
Speaker 1: and maybe I'll even go there on Christmas because I
Speaker 1: used to always go there with my dad. We'd have
Speaker 1: Christmas eat Chinese food like all yeah.
Speaker 3: Nice, okay, next time you go in there, and for
Speaker 3: our audience, next time you walk in, get dessert. Because
Speaker 3: they are now offering hot apple pies. The picture at
Speaker 3: least looked like the old school McDonald's.
Speaker 1: Is that right, that's cool. Yeah, no, the McDonald's. We
Speaker 1: talked about this on the podcast months ago. But there's
Speaker 1: one McDonald's that serves the original apple pie, and I
Speaker 1: think I think it's around here.
Speaker 4: It's in Downy Downey, California.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you can. We're lucky we live close enough
Speaker 1: geographically desirable we can get the old apple pie. Also,
Speaker 1: do you see that Chick fil a? Some Chick fil
Speaker 1: A locations may soon be open on Sunday. It's this
Speaker 1: a seven seven year old policy that wow, don't changed.
Speaker 1: Why because of politicians in New York and it didn't
Speaker 1: get a lot of attention, But the New York State
Speaker 1: Assembly proposed the rest Stop Restaurant Act, which would require
Speaker 1: food and beverage companies along the New York State Thruway
Speaker 1: to stay open seven days a week.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: Chick fil A currently operates seven locations on the New
Speaker 1: York through Way and has three more scheduled to be built.
Speaker 1: And if this does end up going and continuing through
Speaker 1: the as a law, they will be forced to have
Speaker 1: either get rid of their locations on the New York
Speaker 1: through Away, which apparably they like because they're adding three more,
Speaker 1: or they're going to have to open on Sunday. Hey
Speaker 1: you jesus, how pissed would those employees be at Chick
Speaker 1: fil A? Right? They get Sundays off?
Speaker 3: You We're on Sunday and now you go, that's when
Speaker 3: they should just schedule all the atheists that they have
Speaker 3: on staff.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you could do that, and they have one
Speaker 1: at the Falcon Stadium in Atlanta, right that they But
Speaker 1: it's not all it's weird. They have one in the steam,
Speaker 1: but it's not open on Sunday. They play on Sunday.
Speaker 4: Yeah, come on.
Speaker 3: My wife and I we always crave chicken from their joint,
Speaker 3: and it's always a Sunday. We're always like, why do
Speaker 3: we want to go there on Sunday? We know they're
Speaker 3: not open, but it's happened a few times. We're like, man,
Speaker 3: I want Chick fil A today. Oh crap, it's Sunday.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, it always seems to happen.
Speaker 1: Well, that's one of the reasons that they put and
Speaker 1: this is brilliant by our friends at Raising Canes. They
Speaker 1: often will put a Raising Canes right across the street
Speaker 1: from a Chick fil A, because James knows at least
Speaker 1: one day a week they will own the chicken market.
Speaker 1: They also know that Chick fil A often has a
Speaker 1: line of cars, and sometimes people will go and see
Speaker 1: the line of cars and the drive through at Chick
Speaker 1: fil A, and they'll say, I'm not going to wait
Speaker 1: and line, I'm going to go over to Raising Canes.
Speaker 1: Maybe I can get in there quicker and get my
Speaker 1: chicken bock box chicken just like that.
Speaker 4: And so that wasn't a drop.
Speaker 1: No, that was a drop. I wouldn't. I'm a professional broadcast.
Speaker 1: I would never say that. What else I saw that?
Speaker 1: If you have if you have a daughter, or you're
Speaker 1: just a you know, you're a woman or a dude
Speaker 1: that loves Hello Kitty, I don't know. Hey, who knows?
Speaker 1: They not Goldfish? They will have limited edition Hello Kitty
Speaker 1: Strawberry shortcake flavored edition of the Goldfish Crackers in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, you just made some cookies shaped like that.
Speaker 1: I did know. Chocolates. I've made some chocolates from my
Speaker 1: knee chocolate. In fact, I'm gonna make more because she's
Speaker 1: gonna come over on my my nieces and cousins, little
Speaker 1: girls are gonna come over, So I'm gonna make them
Speaker 1: Hello Kitty chocolates and some other random crap that I
Speaker 1: will I will make this weekend. I am such a
Speaker 1: radio loser. I don't give away brief mail bag because
Speaker 1: this is the two for one special and we'll get
Speaker 1: out of that, right But ohio Al, come on, man,
Speaker 1: it's bag all right, thank you very much, ohio Al.
Speaker 1: These are actual letters by actual listeners to the mail bag.
Speaker 1: We're not going to get to everyone that sent their
Speaker 1: letter in. Unfortunately, but we do thank you, and just
Speaker 1: send one in for next week and hopefully we'll be
Speaker 1: able to get your message on the air. But you
Speaker 1: can email me right now, don't have to wait real
Speaker 1: fifth hour at gmail dot com, Real fifth hour at
Speaker 1: gmail dot com, and you can do that or wait
Speaker 1: for me to post on Facebook. But let's get right
Speaker 1: to the bag. What's in the bag? First one from
Speaker 1: Alf the cybersecurity department of FSR. He's excited there that
Speaker 1: he saw construction of aforementioned raising canes in Connecticut. He said. Also, Ben,
Speaker 1: as I was consuming last week's collection of podcast, something
Speaker 1: particularly caused my ears to perk up. It has been
Speaker 1: brought to my attention that my TikTok account may have
Speaker 1: been compromised. During the footy fund portion of the podcast,
Speaker 1: you mentioned stories and videos that I had bookmarked only
Speaker 1: days earlier that I was planning on sending you and
Speaker 1: Daddy G. So it is evident to me that someone
Speaker 1: on your social media staff either hacked my account or
Speaker 1: you as a closet TikTok aficionato. The latter is obviously
Speaker 1: not true, because we're where would you find the time
Speaker 1: to do such research for the pod. That's what you
Speaker 1: pay an army of underlings for, absolutely alf you get it,
Speaker 1: don't you get it? Pal? That'd be like saying that
Speaker 1: you spend hours on end preparing for the overnight show
Speaker 1: and your producer has very little to do with the
Speaker 1: show outside screening a few calls here and there. I
Speaker 1: hope I can count on you to do the right
Speaker 1: thing and reprimand the guilty and maintain the honorable ben
Speaker 1: Malor brand Well. I will do that. Alf heads are
Speaker 1: going to roll. He also included a link to the
Speaker 1: former McDonald's chef that we referenced on a previous pod,
Speaker 1: and his tip to acquiring the pickles that taste almost
Speaker 1: identical to the ones at McDonald's, which I'm good what
Speaker 1: I do. I don't know about you, Danny. When I
Speaker 1: get the hamburger, the cheeseburger, I take the pickles off.
Speaker 1: I don't like the pickles.
Speaker 4: I don't like the pickles when they're warm.
Speaker 1: Yeah, alps kick his fetish as the pickle. He loves
Speaker 1: the pickle. Next up, Daniel in Fort Wayne, Indiana says, Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: have you considered coming to Fort Wayne to take in
Speaker 1: a comet that's a hockey minor league hockey team or
Speaker 1: a ten Caps during baseball season. Danny, I'm sure you
Speaker 1: and the wife and CoA and the family there would
Speaker 1: love to go to Fort Wayne, right, that's on your
Speaker 1: bucket list to visit for a vacation.
Speaker 4: It's on my top ten board, which is not a list.
Speaker 1: Not a list, it's a big board because you don't
Speaker 1: do lists because you don't be irrelevant if you do
Speaker 1: a list. Yeah, Daniel is part of the Chamber of Comers.
Speaker 1: He's just started calling the show recently. I liked Dane.
Speaker 1: He's a character. I can tell this guy's got the
Speaker 1: ability to rise the ranks. He's an up and comer
Speaker 1: in the mal and militia, and he loves Fort Wayne.
Speaker 1: He can't get enough of Fort Wayne. And he promotes
Speaker 1: Fort Wayne. He wants people to come to Fort Wayne.
Speaker 1: He loves his town. And it's just it's a music.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind going to a baseball game. We have
Speaker 1: not thrown out the first pitch at a baseball game
Speaker 1: in a while, so it'd be a lot of fun
Speaker 1: to go to a Tin Caps game and throw out
Speaker 1: the first pitch. And I haven't been to a minor
Speaker 1: league hockey game in a while either, So thank you, Daniel,
Speaker 1: And again Danny's us it's high in his vacations. It's
Speaker 1: either that of the Bahamas and you know oftentimes they'll
Speaker 1: go Fort Wayne George and Uvaldi says, guys, which movie
Speaker 1: do you prefer this time of the year, Scrooged with
Speaker 1: Bill Murray or National Lampoons Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase.
Speaker 1: So this is tough because Bill Murray is a legend.
Speaker 1: We love Bill Murray, but I'm going with chevy Chase
Speaker 1: on this one. I've watched that National Lampoons Christmas Vacation
Speaker 1: where he cuts down the tree in the middle of
Speaker 1: the forest and the whole thing. I watched that more
Speaker 1: than probably any other Christmas movie, So that gets my vote.
Speaker 4: What about you, Dany.
Speaker 3: Chevy Chase sledding out of control into the Walmart parking
Speaker 3: lot is an all time favorite scene. I gotta go
Speaker 3: that route. And then the other movie I would throw
Speaker 3: in there Home Alone. It's something I love and everybody
Speaker 3: in the family loves it. So that's a movie that's
Speaker 3: going to be on this weekend.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that gets play a lot. My wife loves the
Speaker 1: Will ferrell One as the Elf.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we watched Elf last weekend.
Speaker 1: Fan of that last one. We'll get out on this
Speaker 1: as this two for one pod. And this is from
Speaker 1: the Queen of the Mahlard Militia, Queen Roxanne and Colorado says.
Speaker 1: She says, Ben, could you please give us an update
Speaker 1: on the Malard Militia pe Ones, As you know, I
Speaker 1: now work days and don't always get to hear the
Speaker 1: whole show later. And she also wants to hear the nicknames,
Speaker 1: which you know, that's people what the people want, Danny, I,
Speaker 1: as you know.
Speaker 3: How about you give us an early Christmas gift and
Speaker 3: you don't give the nickname list.
Speaker 1: Well, listen, Danny. I was raised properly by my parents.
Speaker 1: They taught me to not to not disappoint the listener.
Speaker 1: And they say the most important thing, the customer is
Speaker 1: always right.
Speaker 3: This is usually where I mutter under my breath, Jesus.
Speaker 3: In this case, Jesus would not want you to do
Speaker 3: this to us.
Speaker 1: It's the holiday season, day season of giving, it's the
Speaker 1: season of making people happy. So I cannot. Queen Roxanne's
Speaker 1: a beautiful woman. I cannot be rude to her and
Speaker 1: just get it over with. I am known as the
Speaker 1: spinmaster of misinformation, the bannering broadcaster. I've been called the
Speaker 1: Beethoven of bs, Curmudgeon of commentary, Chasm of sarcasm, the
Speaker 1: Czar of zany, the dark night of weak night sports radio,

Speaker 1: been called the Sultan of insulting who, the Shaman of shodenfreude,
Speaker 1: dumping Jack of wisecrack, in sight of overnight medicine Man Mallard.

Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 1: Neighbour of negativity, the Sage of outrage, Pinnacle of cynegal
Speaker 1: princip preposterous professor of propaganda, the Hizar Hyperbolee, and the
Speaker 1: floating turd of the spoken word, and the mad hatter
Speaker 1: of sports chatter. How about shut up and Danny? That's
Speaker 1: only half of my nicknames? Can you believe that that's
Speaker 1: only half? And Queen Roxanne wants all my nicknames, Danny.
Speaker 1: She wants all this. She don't want half. She's a
Speaker 1: you know, she's a grown woman. She wants all the nicknames,

Speaker 1: that happen. It's a really fun idea that we've done

Speaker 1: every show and you can sample our show and the
Speaker 1: cool thing. Some people complain Danny say, well, what only

Speaker 1: we want to expose you to other people. And our
