Speaker 1: Kabooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in
Speaker 2: the end.
Speaker 1: Everywhere back at the podcast dojo, you have stumbled on
Speaker 1: another fifth Hour with Ben Mahler and Danny G Radio
Speaker 1: taking you through the weekend on this podcast, and we
Speaker 1: have arrived at a very popular podcast, the mail Bag.
Speaker 1: But it's not just the mail Bag, Danny G. We
Speaker 1: have more content. As you hang out in Sin City,
Speaker 1: we have more content than just the mail Bag because
Speaker 1: we also will have pop goes. The culture exciting is that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't just have cocaine. You can't just have hookers.
Speaker 3: You have to have a bunch of hookers and cocaine.
Speaker 3: A bunch of hookers and cocaine.
Speaker 1: That's the Yeah, that's the line right there. You got it.
Speaker 1: You gotta have it. That's a requirement, absolutely a requirement.
Speaker 1: And thanks to everyone that took time out on the
Speaker 1: mail bag. And it was a little slow. I posted
Speaker 1: on the fourth of July for the mail bag, which
Speaker 1: was risky because most people aren't on social media on
Speaker 1: the fourth July, but I thought, well, we'll see, we'll
Speaker 1: test it out. Total disaster. There were very few questions.
Speaker 1: And then Alf the Alien old Piner he called the
Speaker 1: Mala Militia. He called all the p ones, the brigadier
Speaker 1: generals and the malle of Militia. He called them out
Speaker 1: to send questions in. So we got a ton of
Speaker 1: questions this week, which is great. Well, I want to
Speaker 1: thank Alf, who's always there to answer the call. My man,
Speaker 1: Alf the Alien Opiner outstanding. But we will have pop
Speaker 1: gos to the culture. I did want to mention there's
Speaker 1: a new open which we will not be doing today, Danny,
Speaker 1: but I did send it to you.
Speaker 3: I already was bumping it in my car.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have a new scientifical jingle by request from
Speaker 1: you last weekend.
Speaker 3: I goofed around after it and I was turning the
Speaker 3: reverb up on our voices up and down and just
Speaker 3: goofing with ohio al and he was like, it's delay,
Speaker 3: not reverb, and his new version of it is remix
Speaker 3: is even more awesome than the original. So Ohio, aw,
Speaker 3: we appreciate all the work you do.
Speaker 1: Yes, we appreciate that. Although I guess we could play it.
Speaker 1: I don't know do we want to play we're not
Speaker 1: doing scientifical we could well, actually, you know what, I
Speaker 1: got a couple of scientifical stories if you want.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'll play the remix right here, and then
Speaker 3: you give us two stories science.
Speaker 1: Okay, good job? Oh wow? Nice? As he said, it
Speaker 1: was too heavy on the delay effect, not reverb in
Speaker 1: the final mix. And so there you go.
Speaker 3: This is this reverb.
Speaker 1: Ohio, I wants to know, are you less dizzy? Now, Danny?
Speaker 1: Are you less? You are? All right? Well, here we go.
Speaker 1: These are scientifical stories. And how about this one. Harvard
Speaker 1: scientists say the UFO that crashed in the ocean in
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen appears to be artificial in origin. So they say,
Speaker 1: this is coming from Harvard. This is another science related
Speaker 1: story about UFOs. There's been a ton of these. There
Speaker 1: was a story this week that a Republican congress person
Speaker 1: said that UFOs may be ancient civilizations. Not a scientist,
Speaker 1: though but this Harvard scientist has chimmed in on this,
Speaker 1: and we've got government officials. It certainly is directing. Everything's
Speaker 1: directing towards some big global announcement, and we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: Get your toilet paper and bottled water ready. So that
Speaker 1: was the first science story.
Speaker 3: The other one and by the way, then called web
Speaker 3: an alien.
Speaker 1: Oh well, Adam, Silver's an alien. So there's plenty of
Speaker 1: aliens there. Now here's a fun story. This is from
Speaker 1: the science world. According to the US Department of Agriculture,
Speaker 1: the scientists there, the average person eats up to how
Speaker 1: many flies, maggots and other bugs each year.
Speaker 3: Ah, the fat boys are back. Oh man, I don't
Speaker 3: even I don't don't think I want to know the
Speaker 3: answer to this.
Speaker 1: This is fascinating. And the only reason that we're doing
Speaker 1: this is because, Ohio, I'll put a song in. Otherwise
Speaker 1: I was I wasn't gonna get to this. But the
Speaker 1: average person eats up to one pound of flies and maggots.
Speaker 3: I blame you for this, Ohio.
Speaker 1: Well, I guess it's gonn We eat the maggots and
Speaker 1: then when we die, they eat us. So that's a
Speaker 1: wonderful thing. But they claim this is because fruits, vegetables, spices,
Speaker 1: and most processed foods are legally permitted by the FDA
Speaker 1: to contain very small levels of bug parts. But eat
Speaker 1: every day. Most people eat three meals a day. I
Speaker 1: eat one meal a day. But over the course of time,
Speaker 1: you're eating all those bugs. And they did an analysis.
Speaker 1: They said canned fruit juices can have a maggot for
Speaker 1: every two hundred and fifty millimeters and ten grams. Wow,
Speaker 1: a maggot for every two hundred and fifty millimeters.
Speaker 3: Thanks, I'm for serving all that canned apple juice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get that cranberry juice right now. Knock yourself
Speaker 1: out on that that is standing And so okay. They
Speaker 1: consumption of bugs. They say that in peanut butter they
Speaker 1: allow twenty whole insects for every one hundred pound bag
Speaker 1: of peanut butter. They say standard jar peanut butter often
Speaker 1: has between three hundred five hundred grams. But you do
Speaker 1: the math on that, the single jar peanut butter can
Speaker 1: have around five rodent hairs one hundred and fifty insect
Speaker 1: fragments and still be okay, get the green light.
Speaker 3: Giving us way too much information?
Speaker 1: Now, Wow, man. All right, I mean there's a no.
Speaker 1: I got some other bug stories here if you want.
Speaker 1: There was a guy there was an autopsy in for
Speaker 1: a guy in Florida who died. He died after winning
Speaker 1: a cockroach eating contest, and he was he choked to
Speaker 1: death on cockroaches.
Speaker 3: What a way to go out?
Speaker 1: I intermittent chest paint? Great? How'd you go out? Cockroaches?
Speaker 1: And I choked on cockroach? Oh? So that's science. We have.
Speaker 1: Pop goes the culture? Do we have that? Is that?
Speaker 1: Ready to go?
Speaker 3: Fire it up right now? John? John?
Speaker 1: All right, they're very very good here, Pop goes the Culture.
Speaker 1: So a lot of stories about Elon Musk and Mark
Speaker 1: Zuckerberg this week, including Elon Musk threatening to sue Mark
Speaker 1: Zuckerberg for ripping off Twitter with Threads, which is it's
Speaker 1: not quite a perfect doppelganger of Twitter, but it's pretty close,
Speaker 1: although they don't have the tweet deck. I actually message
Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg. I'm sure he'll pay attention on threads, and
Speaker 1: I said, listen, if you get a search engine like
Speaker 1: Twitter has with tweet deck, which is going to go
Speaker 1: to a paywall, if you can set that up, Mark,
Speaker 1: I'm in I'm off Twitter. I'll just move over there.
Speaker 1: And of course Eddie Garcia chimed in and said he's
Speaker 1: he did the ultimate old guy thing to any Eddie
Speaker 1: said that he's not going to any other social media said,
Speaker 1: if Twitter dies, that's it.
Speaker 3: I don't care.
Speaker 1: I'm leaving. Goodbye attitude.
Speaker 3: I thought you were going to say he put his
Speaker 3: phone number as his handle.
Speaker 1: Oh no, that's not what you are. Yeah, that's not
Speaker 1: That's the all time gold standard for a Twitter story
Speaker 1: from a listener. But Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have
Speaker 1: been offered to have their celebrity fight. You see this last.
Speaker 3: Week at the coliseum?
Speaker 1: Yeah, the in Rome And how many does that hold?
Speaker 1: Do we know the seats on that?
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: It's not really an active sports venue at this point. Right,
Speaker 1: well dead, they'd have an all time high. I actually
Speaker 1: I bring that up because the tourists who famously defaced
Speaker 1: the coliseum wrote a letter. This is one of the
Speaker 1: funniest letters I've ever seen. She remember the story. We
Speaker 1: talked about it. I think on the podcast. This guy
Speaker 1: went to the coliseum a tourist in Rome. This thing's
Speaker 1: almost two thousand years old, and he drew the initials
Speaker 1: of his girlfriend on the coliseum. Right, he used his
Speaker 1: keys to etch his you know, love of his girlfriend.
Speaker 1: But boy, that you talk about being whipped. Man, my god,
Speaker 1: what are you doing anyway? You can't be doing that.
Speaker 1: So the guy, how old do you think the guy was?
Speaker 3: Eddie?
Speaker 1: How do you think this guy was? I called you.
Speaker 1: I call you Eddie. I just called you, Eddie. Why
Speaker 1: do I call you Eddie?
Speaker 3: You're I'm on threads. I signed up last Thursday.
Speaker 1: I did too. I signed up myself.
Speaker 3: I signed up and nice, I'll add you on there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fine, It's it's cool whatever. I'm into it.
Speaker 1: I go with the peoples. I learned. Eddie didn't learn this.
Speaker 1: But I believe you have to adapt. It's Darwinism. If
Speaker 1: you don't adapt, you die. Like Eddie, Eddie be the
Speaker 1: I'm on AOL. I'm not going on anything. I'm on MySpace.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to Facebook, you know, I mean, come on.
Speaker 1: But anyway, so.
Speaker 3: You're saying this guy scratched in his love for his girlfriend.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like her initials a love note on the wall
Speaker 1: of the coliseum.
Speaker 3: Would what would be thirteen years old?
Speaker 1: How about the opposite of that, how about thirty one
Speaker 1: years old. I'm thirty one years old.
Speaker 3: I think it was Herald from match Me Abroad.
Speaker 1: His name is Ivan dit Matrof is his name. And
Speaker 1: he wrote a letter of apology July fourth, which is
Speaker 1: just July fourth in Rome. It was addressed to the
Speaker 1: prosecutor's office because he's worried about's going to jail, the
Speaker 1: mayor of Rome and all the other big executives there.
Speaker 1: And a portion of the letter was published in the
Speaker 1: daily newspaper in Rome, the daily there. And this guy claimed,
Speaker 1: this is outstanding. You talk about you talk about bullshit.
Speaker 1: This guy claimed he had quote no idea. It was
Speaker 1: so ancient. The Colisseum in Rome.
Speaker 3: Hey, you have all those thousands and thousands of visitors
Speaker 3: there with you because people want to see some brand
Speaker 3: new shit that was just built.
Speaker 1: It was actually built in nineteen eighty seven. It just
Speaker 1: looks like it's old. It was built in ninety It's
Speaker 1: like the hotels in Vegas. You had to say, there's
Speaker 1: some of them make they look like they're old. So
Speaker 1: that is just wonderful, just absolutely wonderful. Well, here's a story.
Speaker 1: I think this was a movie on Popko's the culture,
Speaker 1: but now it's reality. A guy in California has been
Speaker 1: sentenced over six years in prison why he conducted a
Speaker 1: Ponzi scheme involving horseshit or actually cowshit, excuse me, cowshit,
Speaker 1: an eight point seven million dollar cow manure Ponzi scheme,
Speaker 1: according to the US Attorney General's Office. And this guy's
Speaker 1: go to jail for six years because of coalbanure.
Speaker 3: Wow, do you know what is worse? Do you know
Speaker 3: the answer to this? Does cowshit smell worse than horseshit?
Speaker 1: I think it does. And here's why I've heard that
Speaker 1: horseshit will just vanish. You don't necessarily have to pick
Speaker 1: up horseshit because it'll shrink and it'll pretty much go away.
Speaker 1: But when I've driven through your old stopping grounds kind
Speaker 1: of in central California there, and I've gone up through
Speaker 1: Fresno in that area, that is such a pungent smell
Speaker 1: in the toilet bowl of California where all the food
Speaker 1: is made.
Speaker 3: You're not kidding. Because when my mom left San Jose
Speaker 3: to buy property in the Modesto area, she was all
Speaker 3: excited about how cheap the homes were, and me and
Speaker 3: my older brother. We were in high school. We're like, Mom,
Speaker 3: you know there's a reason why the whole are cheap, right, Dude,
Speaker 3: Just driving into that area, it's like a wall of
Speaker 3: cowshit smell knocks you on your ass. It is one
Speaker 3: of the worst smells I've ever experienced.
Speaker 1: It's Sarah, But you drive on the Interstate five through
Speaker 1: California and you cannot leave your windows down. You will
Speaker 1: be overwhelmed, Danny with that smell.
Speaker 3: And it just is Yeah, what is that that? Harris Ranch?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's I think that's it. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you get to the middle of the drive
Speaker 3: to the Bay Area on the five freeway, you get
Speaker 3: to Harris Ranch, and boy, let me tell you know
Speaker 3: you're there.
Speaker 1: So this guy is scammed. This guy got eight point
Speaker 1: seven million dollars from investors. He claimed he could turn
Speaker 1: cow manure into green energy, except he couldn't because in
Speaker 1: theory the methane could then be taken out of the
Speaker 1: manure then sold on the open market. Is green energy
Speaker 1: and all that. But this guy, I guess, was just
Speaker 1: a a scam artist. And he told investors they were
Speaker 1: going to receive tax incentives and sixty six percent of
Speaker 1: all net profits. Yeah, what's the old line, Dany, If
Speaker 1: it sounds too good to be true, it probably is,
Speaker 1: Isn't that usually?
Speaker 3: How that sounds too good to be true? It's probably
Speaker 3: a cow patty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a few other I mean, we'll do one more.
Speaker 1: I got to get the mail back. But pop goes
Speaker 1: the culture from France, the president mccrn and Manuel mccron.
Speaker 1: There was a riot in France over the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks. There was rioting. The Parisians are not happy,
Speaker 1: and the president of France is blaming the rioting on
Speaker 1: This is outstanding, Danny. This sounds like a throwback to
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighties. Blaming it on video games. Oh god, yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's blaming it on video games, and he's asking parents
Speaker 1: to step in here.
Speaker 3: Well, before this podcast, I played a video game on
Speaker 3: my phone, So I think I need a glock right now.
Speaker 1: You want to go out and destroy something? Is that
Speaker 1: what you like to do.
Speaker 3: I'm either gonna tip a car over or I'm gonna
Speaker 3: shoot up an old abandoned house just for some target practice.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, because you know I played Mario Brothers when
Speaker 1: I was a kid. This guy's in his forties, what
Speaker 1: are you doing? This guy Emmanuel Macron or whatever. The
Speaker 1: guy's in his mid forties. You're not an old dude.
Speaker 1: What do you do? You sound like an old man.
Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? Your middle aged man? Shame on you.
Speaker 1: Let's get to the mail bag. Here we go again.
Speaker 1: It's all ohio ou you give us thirty minutes, We'll
Speaker 1: give you ohio A three times.
Speaker 3: It's bag.
Speaker 1: First up on the maid like these are actual lessons, messages.
Speaker 1: You do not have to wait for me to post
Speaker 1: on social media. I usually post on our Facebook page.
Speaker 1: I maybe I'll post on threads as well now that
Speaker 1: I'm on there. But you can message to us and
Speaker 1: send us questions Ben Malers show on Facebook, or you
Speaker 1: can email right now or ten minutes from now, or
Speaker 1: two hours from now or three hours from now. Send
Speaker 1: a message to the Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com.
Speaker 1: Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com, and we may
Speaker 1: use your question on a podcast. And if you want
Speaker 1: podcast love, make sure you put your name on there
Speaker 1: and your city so we can give you the proper
Speaker 1: amount of respect. Riespect as the old song went first up.
Speaker 1: Mike in Fullerton writes and says, I Ben and Danygee,
Speaker 1: I've noticed the Bennett lineup has been different nearly every
Speaker 1: single night lately. I thought Steve Disigat did a pretty
Speaker 1: bang up job this week. But I was wondering if
Speaker 1: the lack of consistency has been challenging or if you've
Speaker 1: been enjoying getting to work with such a variety of producers,
Speaker 1: board ops, update anchors besides the ones one whose initials
Speaker 1: are k W. He says, and he also has a
Speaker 1: bonus question. So, yeah, Mike, it's been very interesting. It's
Speaker 1: like a whirlwind is I feel like the Tasmanian devil
Speaker 1: when I go in there, and I like working with
Speaker 1: different people. I think it's fun. It keeps me on
Speaker 1: my toes and the great thing about working with the
Speaker 1: different producers is you never know what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: Like we had a night the other night. One of
Speaker 1: our producers had no idea how to use the phone system.
Speaker 1: He hung up on everyone. There was an echo on
Speaker 1: the phones. That was interesting. The podcast has been quite
Speaker 1: an adventure. I think the producers, Danny, they want to
Speaker 1: make the listener work to enjoy the radio show podcast.
Speaker 3: I remember those books that we used to want as kids,
Speaker 3: whenever there was a book fair or what was that
Speaker 3: stupid day called where they would deliver the books.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the magazine. It was a fundraiser. You got
Speaker 1: the books, and the books were like lastic.
Speaker 3: I think it was like it was a schoolastic book
Speaker 3: fair and the rich kids had a whole box of
Speaker 3: delivered to their desk, and your mom gave you enough
Speaker 3: money to get two stupid books. And I would look
Speaker 3: at all the rich kids and be like, screw you
Speaker 3: little bastards.
Speaker 1: Well remember too about those books. As I remember as
Speaker 1: a child, I was so excited by the name of
Speaker 1: the book, and they'd be like Baseball's Greatest Stars, you know,
Speaker 1: and you'd get it and it was like twelve pages.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, like it would be older players from way back,
Speaker 3: like it wasn't current.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah, and you'd be like, what the hell, man?
Speaker 3: I and the rich kids they got the book marks,
Speaker 3: the stickers, all the crap in that schoolastic little brochure.
Speaker 3: It was awesome. But back, let's see what was the
Speaker 3: original question.
Speaker 1: Well, the question was about you know, the different producers
Speaker 1: I've worked with.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, what were these books? When we were kids?
Speaker 3: You got to choose your own path. So it was like,
Speaker 3: if you want the guy with a sword to run
Speaker 3: towards the shining light, go to page twelve. It was
Speaker 3: choose your own adventure. Your podcast last week was kind
Speaker 3: of like that. I tuned into your podcast, Ben, and
Speaker 3: I started on hour two. I went from hour two
Speaker 3: to hour four, and I was like, this is awesome.
Speaker 3: This is like Ben Mallard choose your own adventure audio style.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just throwing stuff against the wall. And maybe
Speaker 1: maybe our two is better. I don't know, but outstanding,
Speaker 1: just outstanding. So that has been a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: And also the different board ops. Some boardops play drops,
Speaker 1: some don't play any drops. Some guys play drops. I like,
Speaker 1: some guys plays drops.
Speaker 3: I hate.
Speaker 1: It's an adventure now, Mike says, Ben, did you enjoy
Speaker 1: any New York pizza protests while you were in the
Speaker 1: Big Apple? I hope you threw pizza at the Mayor's
Speaker 1: So I did see a guy got arrested for yeah,
Speaker 1: for throwing pizza in Lower Manhattan.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 1: I ate a little bit of pizza from Joe's Pizza
Speaker 1: and some places over in Brooklyn, but I did not
Speaker 1: did not throw it. Pizza is a very valuable food.
Speaker 1: I feel like you should not be throwing pizza. That's
Speaker 1: a bad job by you if you throw pizza. Kevin
Speaker 1: in Kansas Rights, It says dear Ben and Danny G.
Speaker 1: You often talk about how much stuff you do and
Speaker 1: buy in California. I imagine that everyone in your state
Speaker 1: must make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year just
Speaker 1: to be able to live there. Well, that's quite the imagination.
Speaker 1: Could you explain how you all managed to live in
Speaker 1: California giving the given the finances of the Golden State.
Speaker 1: I've been in the Midwest all my life, so I
Speaker 1: have no idea how you guys.
Speaker 3: Manage.
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, Danny, would you like to give a masterclass
Speaker 1: on how expensive shit is in California and how you
Speaker 1: you survive?
Speaker 3: You at your alarm clock for four forty five am,
Speaker 3: wake your ass up quickly. In fifteen minutes, brush your teeth,
Speaker 3: put on deoda, and then get dressed. Go to job
Speaker 3: number one. Then after job number one, you eat maybe
Speaker 3: a granola bar or some top ramen, depending on how
Speaker 3: much food budget you have for the month. Then you
Speaker 3: go to job number two. Then after job number two
Speaker 3: you come home quickly, take a shower and tell your wife, honey,
Speaker 3: I'll see you a little later. I'm going to job
Speaker 3: number three. Oh my gosh. Yeah, that's how you make
Speaker 3: it in Los Angeles, California.
Speaker 1: And you know you're doing well. If you're ramen you're
Speaker 1: able to put some garlic powder on the ramen.
Speaker 3: You know you've arrived.
Speaker 1: And if you can afford salt and pepper, you are rich.
Speaker 1: You are an aristocrat. The thing that kills me about
Speaker 1: California is when I go travel around other states, and
Speaker 1: just by leaving California, pretty much every other state other
Speaker 1: than some other states, some other big wackadoodle states like
Speaker 1: New York or Hawaii. But the gas is like a
Speaker 1: dollar cheaper a gallon and it's the same frickin gas.
Speaker 1: It just kills me. It just drives me insane.
Speaker 3: Now, the gas taxes have to be the number one
Speaker 3: complaint from US. At least help us out with gas.
Speaker 1: Come on, man, there's no real rapid transit. You have
Speaker 1: to drive everywhere. And they're talking about making some of
Speaker 1: the roads where they charge you to drive at certain
Speaker 1: times on the highways in California, which is also just.
Speaker 3: Take your toll roads and shove them.
Speaker 1: Yes, shove them up your ass. And I have driven
Speaker 1: a few of these tall roads because my wife loves
Speaker 1: toll roads, and every time I've had to do that,
Speaker 1: but grudgingly, there's hardly anyone on them.
Speaker 4: They have these beautiful roads that are wonderful and there's
Speaker 4: no cars on them because people are rather sitting traffic
Speaker 4: for four hours then pay five dollars to go on
Speaker 4: the on the road.
Speaker 1: And I don't blame them.
Speaker 3: I don't really ironic to how beautiful they're able to
Speaker 3: make those toll roads.
Speaker 1: Oh, they're amazing. They're paved and they're they're the lines
Speaker 1: are perfect and all that picturesque. Next up Fred in Spring, Texas. Right,
Speaker 1: since says, hey guys, as a is both longtime residents
Speaker 1: of SoCal how fluent are either of you in the
Speaker 1: Spanish language? Really enjoy the show? Well, thank you for
Speaker 1: uh no bueno no Spanish show. I know Spanglish is
Speaker 1: that that's the term, right? I know broken words mixed together,
Speaker 1: just from I've learned by osmosis. I wish I had
Speaker 1: learned Spanish. I could barely earn learn English when I
Speaker 1: was in school, So yeah, I don't. I don't speak Spanish.
Speaker 1: What about you, Danny. You you speak Spanish.
Speaker 3: But it's because of Oxnard, California. In my years there
Speaker 3: for a radio group where the general manager was trying
Speaker 3: to save money on voiceover. So he told me, you
Speaker 3: know what, I'm going to have you voice our AM
Speaker 3: standard station. So he gave me a page of liners
Speaker 3: and he said, and I also want you to voice
Speaker 3: Rodo Elafonte Scouchando Racist. So I took lessons from one
Speaker 3: of the from the morning drive guy that was on
Speaker 3: our Spanish station in order to make liners in the
Speaker 3: recording studio for them.
Speaker 1: So I never had to do that. I worked at.
Speaker 1: My first commercial radio job was at the mighty six ninety,
Speaker 1: which is a border blaster station in Baja California, and
Speaker 1: I recall at midnight and six I think it was
Speaker 1: six am, midnight and six am, they'd play the Mexican
Speaker 1: National Anthem, the full version of the Mexican National Anthem,
Speaker 1: which goes on for about seven days. It's like a
Speaker 1: cricket match. It just keeps going and going and going.
Speaker 1: And it was it was wild Man because I learned
Speaker 1: I heard that song when I worked there, because I
Speaker 1: worked some odd hours. I heard that song a ton,
Speaker 1: and it's fine. For the first I think there's a
Speaker 1: shorter version. The shorter version's kind of kind of cool,
Speaker 1: but the long version.
Speaker 3: All man, it was like a call for Andrea.
Speaker 1: How dare you?
Speaker 3: Alf?
Speaker 1: Alf from the counter at McDonald's right, since, says, do
Speaker 1: you guys miss the good old days when we didn't
Speaker 1: have We didn't know trans fats from gluten free pastas,
Speaker 1: and our servers didn't give a shit if anyone in
Speaker 1: our party had a food allergy. On that note, did
Speaker 1: we even have food allergies back in the day. I
Speaker 1: missed my deep fat fried apple pies. I were served
Speaker 1: at the temperature of the sun. That's right, yes, And
Speaker 1: yet that same experience on the Hungryman dinner when you'd
Speaker 1: eat the apple tart, yes, which I had. I was
Speaker 1: at the store the other a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: and I did not see any of the Hungryman dinners
Speaker 1: with the apple tar. I think they've gotten rid of
Speaker 1: that bad job by them. Anyway, Alf continues, He says,
Speaker 1: I missed the deep fried apple pies and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: Is it just me? Or did things taste better? I'll
Speaker 1: take your answer off the air from my front porch
Speaker 1: while yelling at the neighbors kids. Probably better that way, Yeah,
Speaker 1: yell at that cloud up there. So I got an
Speaker 1: answer to this, all right, There's two things here. Number
Speaker 1: one is everything tastes better when you're a kid. Everything
Speaker 1: tastes better, right, Katie, It's wonderful mom's home cooking or
Speaker 1: what are your family's whatever meal you remember as a kid.
Speaker 1: The other thing is it is true that as we age, Danny,
Speaker 1: our test our taste buds, test buds, our taste buds
Speaker 1: actually start dying, so food does not taste as good
Speaker 1: as it did when we were younger. Yeah, our taste
Speaker 1: buds start to decline. It's kind of like your eyesight.
Speaker 1: You know, your eyesight gets worse as you go through
Speaker 1: the the stages of life and all that. But you're
Speaker 1: born with thousands and thousands of taste buds. And then
Speaker 1: right around when you turn in your late forties early fifties,
Speaker 1: which many of our listeners are in that age range,
Speaker 1: you gradually start going down and and so that your
Speaker 1: taste buds go down, and your your sense of smell
Speaker 1: also goes down, and so it's a combination of those things.
Speaker 1: So it does have see that would be a big
Speaker 1: gold mine if you could figure out a way to
Speaker 1: regenerate taste buds. So stuff like licorice and you know,
Speaker 1: different saltwater, taffy and crap like that tastes good.
Speaker 3: Man, Mike cooking would impress a whole bunch of senior
Speaker 3: citizens exactly right.
Speaker 1: What you don't have to be a great cook. If
Speaker 1: you're just serving at the Old Timers Home, you're in
Speaker 1: good shape there. What else we have? Air Force Andrew
Speaker 1: writes in he's a fan favorite legend. Air Force Andrew,
Speaker 1: we did an appearance in Baker's. So have you with
Speaker 1: that one?
Speaker 3: Danny? Of course?
Speaker 1: I was, yeah, that was a famous It was. I
Speaker 1: think the temperature that night was two hundred nineteen degrees
Speaker 1: in Bakersfield, and it was he was, I there.
Speaker 3: They clocked my first pitch at ninety five miles per hour.
Speaker 1: My pitch could get a major league hit her out.
Speaker 1: My my pitch, Yeah, okay, the ephis pitch, dominating pitch,
Speaker 1: he says. Air Force Andrew was at that and got
Speaker 1: ejected from the game. Was it the first inning? And
Speaker 1: then tried to sneak back in in the diskies on
Speaker 1: or off? He turned the hat backwards. Is that what
Speaker 1: he did? I think?
Speaker 3: And he took his jersey off and he turned his
Speaker 3: hat backwards, so he was shirtless and he had a
Speaker 3: hat on backwards. It was a great disguise.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the I don't want to say security guard,
Speaker 1: but the person who was pretending to be a security
Speaker 1: guard for the team came over and said, is this
Speaker 1: guy with your group? I tried to sneak back into
Speaker 1: the game. I'm like, I don't know, he says. Andrews says,
Speaker 1: how much is left in the Mallard tank? Where do
Speaker 1: you see yourself retiring? I don't think I'm ever gonna
Speaker 1: you don't retire from these jobs. What happens in my
Speaker 1: theory has always been the broadcast world will retire you.
Speaker 1: But the great thing about the world we live in
Speaker 1: now is if I can keep you engaged as a listener,
Speaker 1: I could always do audio kind of right. We can
Speaker 1: take our audience with us because of podcasting, and if
Speaker 1: we get somewhat close to the same numbers we get
Speaker 1: on this podcast, if I did a standalone podcast, we'd
Speaker 1: actually we could make some money with that. There's money
Speaker 1: to be made with that. So I don't think I'll
Speaker 1: ever stop, because I look at so many people, whatever
Speaker 1: their love, whatever their passion in life, when they stop working,
Speaker 1: generally it goes bad. And I am even as somebody
Speaker 1: that works all the time. I don't know about you, Dan.
Speaker 1: I always have to be doing something. I always have
Speaker 1: to be busy. If I'm not busy, it's problem.
Speaker 3: Yeah. What was it from Shawshank Redemption, Get busy living
Speaker 3: or get busy dying. Yeah, there's a lot of people.
Speaker 3: Unless you have a major hobby, say you are a
Speaker 3: golf enthusiast or something like that, then you have something
Speaker 3: to look forward to and you're traveling to different golf
Speaker 3: courses and things like that. But if you don't have
Speaker 3: something like that, then work is your thing. And I'm
Speaker 3: with you, Ben, I would rather die on the microphone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had from Coast to Coast George Norion. He
Speaker 1: said that's the way he wants to go out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the middle of Coast to coast talking about the you know,
Speaker 1: some kind of goblins and then all of a sudden.
Speaker 3: Propped me up beside them.
Speaker 1: And we have seen people that have died on the air.
Speaker 1: That guy famously in England died on the air. We
Speaker 1: talked about the podcast, oj writes in from Orlando, slash
Speaker 1: Hampton Roads, Virginia.
Speaker 3: Careful how you say slash with Ojello.
Speaker 1: He's in he says, Oh, He's in Orlando and Hampton Roads,
Speaker 1: Virginia says. Any plans for the next East Coast mallor
Speaker 1: meet and greet? Also, what was your go to place
Speaker 1: that you had to visit while you were in New York?
Speaker 1: So no plans. I was just in New York. There
Speaker 1: is a chance I might be going back to the
Speaker 1: East Coast for something I don't know yet. I'll probably
Speaker 1: know in the next couple of weeks. And if I
Speaker 1: do go back again to the East Coast, I will plan.
Speaker 1: I'll try to throw something together at the last minute.
Speaker 1: My go tos in New York are Katz's Delhi on
Speaker 1: Houston Street. And then I also have to do the
Speaker 1: Staten Island Ferry, which is the best free thing you
Speaker 1: can do in New York. Beautiful views of the skyline
Speaker 1: in Lower Manhattan. You go right by the Statue of
Speaker 1: Liberty and Ellis Island. It doesn't take very long, as
Speaker 1: like a twenty minute ride or something like that to
Speaker 1: Staten Island. You get off the boat you're run right
Speaker 1: back on the boat and it's all free and it's
Speaker 1: wonderful and everything else cost nine thousand dollars to even
Speaker 1: look at certain things. So I love that. Jonathan says,
Speaker 1: we miss Roberto. Matt says, what do you miss most
Speaker 1: about Roberto? So does Jonathan. Yeah. So I'm still getting messages.
Speaker 1: We had Roberto on the podcast announcing he was leaving.
Speaker 1: I'm still getting message with us. I love Roberto. I
Speaker 1: was not my decision to have Roberto leave the show.
Speaker 1: He decided to do that on his own and it
Speaker 1: was better for him and his family. And I'm happy
Speaker 1: for him because he's got a young daughter and it's
Speaker 1: very important years. You know, you got to keep the
Speaker 1: kids in line so when they become teenagers and they're
Speaker 1: not complete assholes and all that. And so he's doing
Speaker 1: the right thing helping his family out. But I just
Speaker 1: missed the consistency of Robert. I knew what I was
Speaker 1: going to get. We'd worked together. It's like when I
Speaker 1: worked with you, Danny, and you were with me on
Speaker 1: the show. I knew what I was going to get.
Speaker 1: I knew if I if I said certain certain things,
Speaker 1: you were going to do certain things and the Roberto
Speaker 1: we had been together for so long that we had
Speaker 1: that same relationship, and it's always different when you bring
Speaker 1: new people in. It takes a long time. And we
Speaker 1: haven't even had a consistency. We've had three different board
Speaker 1: ops engineers every week, so I mean, I don't make
Speaker 1: the schedule, and clearly management smarter than me. But if
Speaker 1: I was involved, I would have just one person each week,
Speaker 1: and that's how I would do it. But they don't
Speaker 1: ask me those things, So that's kind of the answer
Speaker 1: to that.
Speaker 3: But it's like here that they're close to making a
Speaker 3: decision on the one person that's going to replace Robertos.
Speaker 3: So it shouldn't be musical chairs for too much longer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hopefully not. Hopefully not. Next up, John and Omaha
Speaker 1: Wright since says, can you work one of your fifth
Speaker 1: hour podcasts with just callers doing it live on YouTube?
Speaker 1: That would be epic. Maybe you could show Danny g
Speaker 1: radio screening calls, ground shaking fun here, the behind the
Speaker 1: scenes stuff. So we've been asked this in the past.
Speaker 1: Any and even though we do the podcast, the podcast
Speaker 1: is owned by the Premiere Networks and iHeartMedia and all
Speaker 1: that which I built Leave is a rather large corporation,
Speaker 1: and I don't know that they would be open to
Speaker 1: us being on YouTube. I would love to do it.
Speaker 1: I would do it if they paid us. I don't
Speaker 1: think they will, right.
Speaker 3: Sounds like too much fun for a huge corporation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he might not want to see what we look
Speaker 1: like while we did the show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'd have to clear it through their attorneys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll do a couple of quick ones to get
Speaker 1: out on this. Matthew Warrior Raider A's fan rights and
Speaker 1: he says, what's your favorite former A's fan He says,
Speaker 1: what's your go to? Delhi when you're in New York?
Speaker 1: I mentioned Kat's Delhi not as good as last time
Speaker 1: I was there. I gotta tell you, maybe my taste
Speaker 1: buds are the reason. And I went to Junior's Delhi.
Speaker 1: My friend Bob, who does radio in Kansas City's from
Speaker 1: New York, the New York New Jersey area. He said
Speaker 1: to go to Juniors, which is a deli in Brooklyn.
Speaker 1: And I did go to Juniors. It was pretty good,
Speaker 1: pretty good. And the last one, Josh from Blaine, Minnesota,
Speaker 1: rights in says, are you absolutely positive that Mark the
Speaker 1: full name guy is not Arnie Spaniers spawn from the
Speaker 1: hot tub incident. Yeah, Arnie Aarnie and Mark have a
Speaker 1: very similar occadence. Arnie's actually younger than Mark, though, so
Speaker 1: I think it'd be very difficult. I don't have the
Speaker 1: math on how that would work, Danny, but I think
Speaker 1: it'd be very difficult to have Mark as the spawn
Speaker 1: of Arnie. Daddy the Lakers win. I'll wash your car exactly. Well,
Speaker 1: it is Sunday. You're in Vegas, Danny, I'm in La
Speaker 1: La Land. I'll be back on the radio tonight if
Speaker 1: you're on the West coast eleven pm Sunday night into Monday.
Speaker 1: But if you're on the East Coast, where most people live,
Speaker 1: that will be at two am Monday morning until six am,
Speaker 1: the coveted overnight shift, which is actually great because the
Speaker 1: last hour is early morning drive, so we actually have
Speaker 1: more people listening on the terrestrial radio show in the
Speaker 1: five o'clock hour Eastern than we do at the two
Speaker 1: o'clock hour. It's one of those quirky things about the
Speaker 1: way the clock works. But what are you got going on?
Speaker 1: Anything to promote?
Speaker 2: Here?
Speaker 3: Dan? Two more podcasts today from Vegas for NBA con
Speaker 3: and then get a fly back home to Burbank Airport,
Speaker 3: and then get a little bit of rest before the
Speaker 3: Monday afternoon fun with Covino and Rich two to four
Speaker 3: pm on the West five to seven pm in New
Speaker 3: York City.
Speaker 1: Be flying into Burbank, beautiful Burbank, which is great. Anytime
Speaker 1: you can fly out of Burbank and not fly at
Speaker 1: Lax is a win. You should treat Lax as Chernobyl
Speaker 1: is what you should do. You wouldn't want to walk
Speaker 1: through Chernobyl. You wouldn't want to walk through lax.
Speaker 3: Lax is an STD stay away from it.
Speaker 1: Yes, it is a nightmare. It is just horror. Red
Speaker 1: his eye. We'll get out having a wonderful day. Thank you,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you for downloading this actually listening to
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Holy crap, you heard the whole podcast.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. We'll catch you on the radio tonight and
Speaker 1: back next weekend on the podcast and thank You'll catch
Speaker 1: you then later.
Speaker 3: Skater got a murder. I gotta go
