Speaker 1: Cutbooms.
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 sol fastion 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: It's a clearinghouse of hot takes. Break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 3: In the air everywhere, The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Speaker 3: Mahler and Danny g Radio. And here we are Tada
Speaker 3: super Ball Sunday.
Speaker 1: Oh boy has arrived. It is on like Donkey Kong.
Speaker 3: We are ready to go Cansa City and Philadelphia and
Speaker 3: here we all this talk Danny a day after day.
Speaker 1: We're getting information every day.
Speaker 3: And here we are to me my favorite pregame show,
Speaker 3: Benny Versus the Penny.
Speaker 1: That's that's my Muskos pregame show.
Speaker 3: And you can have your network pregame shows and all that,
Speaker 3: but Benny versus the Penny. Still time to watch it.
Speaker 3: It's early on Sunday. You can still watch it over
Speaker 3: on Peacock. Check it out, help us out. We do
Speaker 3: have another episode after this week. We have one final
Speaker 3: episode for season two of Benny Versus the Penny. That'll
Speaker 3: be next week, and then we'll put the show to bed,
Speaker 3: hopefully to be back for year number three next year.
Speaker 3: A number of you have asked about that, and so
Speaker 3: we will. We'll let you know. I don't know the plans.
Speaker 3: I'll talk to the NBC people when we get done.
Speaker 3: But Super Bowl Sunday. So excited, and you know, Danny,
Speaker 3: I've done a lot of intermitute fasting. I don't eat
Speaker 3: very much. I eat one meal a day. But today
Speaker 3: is Today is what I call rare and appropriate. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna go old fat Ben. I'm gonna go big as
Speaker 3: big as I can go. I've got it all planned out.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna eat about as poorly. I'm gonna probably lose
Speaker 3: two days of my life today the food I'm gonna eat,
Speaker 3: but I cannot wait.
Speaker 4: Then.
Speaker 5: It's all people do is they keep going back right.
Speaker 5: Hopefully you don't change plates every time. I hate when
Speaker 5: people do that at Super Bowl parties, Like every time
Speaker 5: they get a new appetizer, they take a brand new plate,
Speaker 5: and so there's napkins and plates all over and everything's
Speaker 5: messy and loud and it's one of the reasons Ben,
Speaker 5: and we've talked about this on Radio row here this
Speaker 5: past week. Do you prefer a quiet setting where you
Speaker 5: can actually focus on the super Bowl or do you
Speaker 5: want to socialize and hear people's chit chat because it
Speaker 5: bothers me when people are talking during the super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So over the years, I've been to super Bowl parties.
Speaker 3: As you know, I'm inward thinking I'm an introvert, so
Speaker 3: I talk about that quite a bit. And so I
Speaker 3: do like to wrap myself in a game. And the
Speaker 3: other problem I have is I'm on after the game,
Speaker 3: we have the overnight show, so I feel like I
Speaker 3: have to kind of pay attention to the broadcast. So
Speaker 3: I don't I don't enjoy the party, the party part
Speaker 3: of it, and so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I need to like Foe.
Speaker 5: And the other thing I forgot I was asking a
Speaker 5: guy who's anti social.
Speaker 4: I forgot about that.
Speaker 1: Well exactly, I mean I don't mind. I mean my
Speaker 1: wife Frags need a certain things and we'll go to parties.
Speaker 1: I mean, she her people at her work. They love
Speaker 1: the party.
Speaker 3: So I practice social distancing, whether it's COVID or not.
Speaker 3: But yeah, so but anyway, no, I mean I would.
Speaker 4: Rese officers they know how to party.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they definitely know how to part. I mean there're
Speaker 3: no shrinking violence.
Speaker 5: Over the Oh yeah, the dude they take all the
Speaker 5: drugs out of the evidence room.
Speaker 3: I don't know about that, but they we we at
Speaker 3: our party. I know you weren't there, Dani's and uh,
Speaker 3: but we had. They showed up in a party bus
Speaker 3: because you know, they want to drink and drive, so
Speaker 3: they rented out a party bus and we were having.
Speaker 3: The party was like a normal ugly sweater party. We
Speaker 3: talked about it on this party is. But then like
Speaker 3: like all of a sudden, midway through, this bus shows
Speaker 3: up and like thirty people got out of the bus
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, the party like double.
Speaker 1: I was crazy.
Speaker 3: But no, I want to watch the game and kind
Speaker 3: of get into it. And I what I do is
Speaker 3: I have my routine. So I watched the game.
Speaker 1: You're all creatures a habit.
Speaker 3: So I'm watching the game and I have the the
Speaker 3: on my phone. I'm futzing around with my phone. I
Speaker 3: have the notes app thing. You know that notes thing
Speaker 3: on your phone of course, yeah, so I have that,
Speaker 3: and then I I'll jot down like little little notes
Speaker 3: during the game and then I'll kind of put those
Speaker 3: together at the end.
Speaker 4: And talking points.
Speaker 5: So you actually could build a company for your time
Speaker 5: watching the Super Bowl because you're working.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then when I build a company, they will
Speaker 3: they will laugh at me and tell me to go
Speaker 3: pound sand that is what they will tell me.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I could. I could do that.
Speaker 3: But it is you talk about these matchups and everything,
Speaker 3: and we did a lot of that on the TV show.
Speaker 1: Benny Versus the Penny.
Speaker 3: But like Mahomes, the aura around Mahomes right now, and
Speaker 3: he has lost Super Bowl. He did lose to Tampa Bay,
Speaker 3: and even in the other Super Bowls it's not like
Speaker 3: the Chiefs dominated and one going away where the game
Speaker 3: wasn't even close. So the game will probably because but
Speaker 3: Mahomes is he's got an eight hundred winning percentage as
Speaker 3: a starter. He's sixteen and zero indoors, He's seventeen and
Speaker 3: three in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Straight up. I mean the numbers are just insane, absolutely
Speaker 1: insane with Mahomes.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: And yet you know, I don't know who you're picking,
Speaker 3: Danny and all that I picked.
Speaker 5: You did you just bleep me Danny, you I did,
Speaker 5: because we're not giving our picks until the very end
Speaker 5: of the show.
Speaker 3: All right, well, hey, listen, you jumped to any kind
Speaker 3: of numbers. We have the mail bag, though, so I
Speaker 3: think we should probably get to the mail bag.
Speaker 4: It's this.
Speaker 3: Super Bowl Sunday, and this is the ultimate litmus test
Speaker 3: to see who's listening and engaged on the Fifth Hour podcast.
Speaker 1: These are actual letters by actual.

Speaker 3: to a future episode of the podcast. Send it Real

Speaker 3: I mean that is not our not that we have
Speaker 3: women that listen. I mean we have some female fans
Speaker 3: that are great fans of the show, and they're very
Speaker 3: loyal women that.
Speaker 1: Support the show. But we're mostly dudes that are listening, right.
Speaker 4: You know, it's not our call.
Speaker 5: That's that's controlled by the iHeart sales staff and it
Speaker 5: has nothing to do with us. We don't pick the sponsors.
Speaker 5: Are as long as they spend money, and hopefully lots
Speaker 5: of it, they are welcome to our podcast.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's really based on our podcast does pretty well.
Speaker 1: So it's based on the audience.
Speaker 3: That we have, and it's like a whole it's analytics.
Speaker 1: Who likes analytics day, but it's like analytics is.
Speaker 5: And what I would say to answer that letter that
Speaker 5: was emailed in even though you're not a female, obviously,
Speaker 5: on the days you feel moody, maybe you could take
Speaker 5: that product.
Speaker 1: Still, Yeah, well you can see if it works for
Speaker 1: men sexist Yeah, well maybe yeah.
Speaker 3: Hey, twenty five minutes, that's back in, all right. The
Speaker 3: next email is from Dale in Charleston. Now, Dale's the
Speaker 3: guy that put together the Malard meet and greet we
Speaker 3: did in South Carolina, which was awesome.
Speaker 1: I'm so grateful for Dale.
Speaker 3: He's from southern California, but he's lived in South Carolina,
Speaker 3: the free state of South Carolina with less taxes and
Speaker 3: all that.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: And Dale says, uh, Bennie, Uh, he was very kind.
Speaker 3: He talked about you know, he's kind of what's going
Speaker 3: on with him and the weather in Charleston where they
Speaker 3: got a little snow where he is. But Dale says,
Speaker 3: who put together the great you know, he's the guy
Speaker 3: who put the great mall of meat.
Speaker 1: And he says uh, he heard a co worker here
Speaker 1: we go.
Speaker 3: He said, he heard a coworker use the word rigamo roar,
Speaker 3: and I'm not sure exactly what it means. I thought
Speaker 3: it would be perfect for the word of the week. Now,
Speaker 3: we did not do a word of the week this week,
Speaker 3: so I would like to make this the word.
Speaker 4: Of the week. Like sales should be the super word
Speaker 4: of the week.
Speaker 3: Then the super word of the week, the super word
Speaker 3: of the week rigamoor.
Speaker 1: So it's r I.
Speaker 4: G M A R O l E. You say it
Speaker 4: like you're sneezing's.
Speaker 3: Put a little flair on it. I put a little
Speaker 3: How do you say it? What do you say? I
Speaker 3: don't know say that word?
Speaker 1: That's you don't never say rigamarole? No, no, all right anyway.
Speaker 4: Especially the way you say it.
Speaker 3: Well, it's uh. The term it goes back. The origin
Speaker 3: is ragman role the hell is that? So apparently this
Speaker 3: is a it refers to a long list or a
Speaker 3: legal document, and that word actually goes back to the
Speaker 3: thirteenth century England and Scotland. So the word it's long
Speaker 3: it means now in more modern times it's kind of
Speaker 3: like long rambling.
Speaker 5: Coherent to the left of me right now, is your
Speaker 5: boy Gronk? So Gronk is of a TV camera doing
Speaker 5: the rigamarole.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go, Tell Gronk to come over. We'll
Speaker 1: kiss his ass.
Speaker 3: I remember he was at the Premiere Networks building years
Speaker 3: ago when he was playing for the Patriots, and he
Speaker 3: showed up on a party bus because he was working
Speaker 3: on some reality show, is kind of like the off season.
Speaker 3: And there was this Mercedes Benz like party bus and
Speaker 3: he was there with a bunch of other people and
Speaker 3: he came up. I don't know what show he was on.
Speaker 3: I don't think he was on Fox Sports Radio, but
Speaker 3: he popped in there. But anyway, rook, he said, what's.
Speaker 4: Up to you? Yeah? He just waved to the stage here.
Speaker 1: Got a wave as he kept walking.
Speaker 4: And how many people he just flipped off the fifth
Speaker 4: Hour right now?
Speaker 1: Not there?
Speaker 4: That was nice.
Speaker 3: Well, Kelsey's a better tight end, So tell him that
Speaker 3: we'd like Travis Kelsey better. What's next on the mail bag?
Speaker 3: It's the fifth hour Super Bowl show? This is the
Speaker 3: mail bag? Obviously, what do we have? Steven Minnesota rightes in,
Speaker 3: He says, Ben and Danny. I enjoyed the podcast. I
Speaker 3: thought this would be perfect for your show.
Speaker 1: He then sent a story.
Speaker 3: This is from the President of Columbia who says cocaine
Speaker 3: is no worse than whiskey and would be sold like
Speaker 3: wine if legalized worldwide.
Speaker 5: It's very true. That's what my dad said right when
Speaker 5: my mom was divorcing him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just get you know, So you go down and
Speaker 3: would there be Now here's the question, Danny. I know
Speaker 3: in northern California and in Santa Barbara and San Diego
Speaker 3: there's like wine tasting. Would you go to cocaine tasting
Speaker 3: where you could snort the different coke?
Speaker 1: Would that be? You know, Post Valley somewhere.
Speaker 5: I've always my entire life, and I don't know where
Speaker 5: this started, but my sinuses are always a pain in
Speaker 5: the ass. I always have pseuda fed like hidden into
Speaker 5: my backpack. I do not understand people who snort things
Speaker 5: into their nostrils. I would not go to a cocaine
Speaker 5: tasting table.
Speaker 3: Well, if you want to know, Steve, in Minnesota, there
Speaker 3: is actually a place where you can go in sample cocaine.
Speaker 1: It's called the Hollywood Hills or Beverly Hills.
Speaker 3: So anywhere in La there on a any night, not
Speaker 3: just Friday or Saturday. I'm sure there'll be some wild parties,
Speaker 3: but no parties from Diddy. So those parties are but
Speaker 3: I'm sure there's some other wild parties today.
Speaker 4: Oh me.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Now we've got the weed legal, Danny, do you think
Speaker 3: in our lifetimes, I don't know how many years we
Speaker 3: have left, do you think we'll see cocaine legalists.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go no on the cocaine. I don't think
Speaker 1: we'll see that legal No.
Speaker 5: This generation has gotten lazier than the past generation, not
Speaker 5: more amped up like their eighty stock traders. So no,
Speaker 5: if anything, we're going to have, you know, four day
Speaker 5: work weeks. We're not going to be cocaine induced, working
Speaker 5: officially six days a week.
Speaker 4: A bunch of hookers and cocaine.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 3: Next up, Ryan, Ryan C. From Shrewsbury, mass all right.
Speaker 3: Sitting on the mail bag, he says, Hey, Bndon Danny.
Speaker 3: Last week I emailed you guys talking about my nineteen
Speaker 3: thirty three Ford Model A. Remember that the photo I
Speaker 3: sent you.
Speaker 4: Danny, Yeah, that's right. That was a good look at
Speaker 4: a classic car.
Speaker 1: Got in his garage. He says, you guys talked about
Speaker 1: how hard it is to get old. Parts.
Speaker 3: I did some quick Malor research and turns out Ryan says,
Speaker 3: the closest I can find to me in Shrewsbury is
Speaker 3: in Maryland's. He also found a place in San Dimas, California.
Speaker 3: He says, my question this week, have you ever been
Speaker 3: to San Dimas? And if you have, can you pick
Speaker 3: me up a fuel pump?
Speaker 1: He says, just kidding. There you go, Love, that's.
Speaker 4: Home to Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
Speaker 3: Well, I actually lived The old Malor mansion was right
Speaker 3: next to that in a town called Glendora, and I
Speaker 3: lived there, and San Dimas is right next to it.
Speaker 3: I used to go to the Costco in San Dimas.
Speaker 3: That was my spot. And yeah, but Bill, you know,
Speaker 3: fun fact, Daddy, fun fact. In fact, so Bill and
Speaker 3: Ted's Excellent Adventure, while it was based on San Dimas,
Speaker 3: was actually filmed in Phoenix.
Speaker 1: They didn't film it in San Dimas. It was actually
Speaker 1: filmed in Arizona.
Speaker 4: I feel like my whole life has been a lie.
Speaker 1: It's a fraud. Right.
Speaker 3: There's also a great I don't remember the name of it.
Speaker 3: There's a great park where I used to feed the
Speaker 3: ducks in San Dimas.
Speaker 1: I don't remember the name of it.
Speaker 3: But that was my spot, although you had to pay
Speaker 3: for parking. But what I would do is I would
Speaker 3: go like an hour before they closed, and they never
Speaker 3: charged for parking. So I just go for like an
Speaker 3: hour and that beat the ducks, and that would be
Speaker 3: my move.
Speaker 4: Nick says, here really quick, it says.
Speaker 5: San Dimas is known for its Western art, small town feel,
Speaker 5: and equestrian qualities.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they do have. There are some horse trails around
Speaker 1: San Dimas.
Speaker 3: There's also a great dollar tree there, really nice dollar tree.
Speaker 4: Skill for beautiful horse trails to a dollar tree.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you can take a great dollar tree there. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Those some nice houses looking out at the San Gabriel
Speaker 3: Valley there, Nick and Wisconsin rights and says Benny the
Speaker 3: BOPPERA and Danny g. Been a while since I've checked in,
Speaker 3: but I'm always listening to the Fifth Hour podcast.
Speaker 1: Now, last time I mentioned, I purchased a home.
Speaker 3: So my question is this, would you rather save a
Speaker 3: little bit of money and do a project yourself or
Speaker 3: pay more and not worry about it. I'm sick of
Speaker 3: doing this shit myself, says Nick in Wisconsin. Yeah, well
Speaker 3: it's always a cost benefit thing. I'll let you answer
Speaker 3: in a second. If it's always a cost benefit thing,
Speaker 3: it's how valuable is your time? I've always and this
Speaker 3: is something that I've learned. I didn't know this when
Speaker 3: I was a kid. When I was a kid, I
Speaker 3: you know, you think you have endless time. And as
Speaker 3: I've gotten older, I've learned that the most valuable commodity
Speaker 3: that we have, or the most valuable thing that we have,
Speaker 3: I guess is the way to say it.
Speaker 1: Is time, right. I mean that we don't know how
Speaker 1: much we have.
Speaker 3: You can't buy more of it when it's gone, and
Speaker 3: all that stuff, and you know we waste a lot
Speaker 3: of it, and so you have to weigh a can
Speaker 3: you afford to hire somebody to do it? And and
Speaker 3: then buh, can you can you do it easy enough
Speaker 3: without having to hire someone? Is it if it's gonna
Speaker 3: take a long time? I think the crazy thing now
Speaker 3: is everything's on YouTube. Like I'm really into cooking right now,
Speaker 3: and I've been trying to We're not eating out anymore.
Speaker 1: We're eating at home all the time, and so.
Speaker 3: We're cooking everything, me and the wife, and so we're
Speaker 3: trying to find the perfect crisp friese homemade French fries,
Speaker 3: or as I call them, Danny freedom friese. And so
Speaker 3: I've been trying all these YouTube cooking recipes to try.
Speaker 4: To from China.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been trying to I've been trying to find
Speaker 3: the perfect fry recipe, and I've been trying different things
Speaker 3: and all that.
Speaker 1: But it's I enjoy it. It doesn't. It's it's not.
Speaker 3: I feel like it's not a waste of my time,
Speaker 3: but it is when when you take time away from
Speaker 3: something that is the most valuable thing that you have.
Speaker 1: It's the most precious things. So you have to weigh that.
Speaker 3: But if you're can afford to hire somebody, I would
Speaker 3: do it. But if it's easy enough you can just
Speaker 3: do it watching a fifteen minute YouTube video, then I would.
Speaker 1: Go that through it. So what about you, Danny.
Speaker 4: I agree with you on the time thing. Man.
Speaker 5: I wasted forty five minutes of my life the other
Speaker 5: night because I made the mistake of actually it was
Speaker 5: the first night that we were here last Sunday, so
Speaker 5: exactly a week ago. I made the mistake Benny, of
Speaker 5: going in to a Popeyes famously started here in the
Speaker 5: state of Louisiana right before I went in there. I
Speaker 5: was in CVS, by the way, and guess which Chiefs
Speaker 5: defensive player was in the same aisle as me at CVS.
Speaker 4: And then I'll tell you what he was buying.
Speaker 1: Is his last name start with A jay?
Speaker 4: Is that? Yeah? How'd you do that? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I don't know, psychic, I use my crystal ball.
Speaker 3: Chris Jones was He's a star, the headliner on the defense.
Speaker 5: Recognized him immediately because the camera lately has and right
Speaker 5: up on him as he cries on the sideline pregame
Speaker 5: and post game because he's he was emotional about getting
Speaker 5: back to the super Bowl. So I recognized him immediately,
Speaker 5: and I was like, no way, they just landed a
Speaker 5: few hours ago.
Speaker 4: And then it made sense.
Speaker 5: I was on Canal Street and so it wasn't far
Speaker 5: from the hotel that the Chiefs are staying at. So
Speaker 5: I struck up a little conversation with him. Really nice dude,
Speaker 5: until he found out I was a Raiders fan. So
Speaker 5: I leave the CVS and I got the thing I needed. He,
Speaker 5: by the way, was in the section looking at brushes.
Speaker 5: He needed a hair brush. He forgot to pack it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all those incidentals, Yeah, so they make a lot
Speaker 3: of money at those little drug stores near hotels, and
Speaker 3: because of the incidentals.
Speaker 5: Yeah exactly, Yeah, that crap. You forget to pack at
Speaker 5: the last minute. So and he's got to look fly
Speaker 5: for you know, for the cameras and everything. Sure, I
Speaker 5: walk across the street into this Popeyes, ben what a
Speaker 5: freaking disaster. I'll try to tell it. In sixty seconds.
Speaker 5: There are those rental scooters thrown and tossed in the
Speaker 5: middle of the Popeyes. There are people just all over
Speaker 5: the inside of this place and screaming at the manager
Speaker 5: at the front counter. There's new Kiosks in there, so
Speaker 5: everything is a mess. Nobody could get their order. I
Speaker 5: had already paid. I stood there and waited, and it
Speaker 5: was sweltering hot inside this Popeyes, by the way, and
Speaker 5: it was a disaster. Trash all over the floor. The
Speaker 5: employees were rude. It took forty five minutes to get
Speaker 5: one damn chicken sandwich that I could bring back to
Speaker 5: the hotel.
Speaker 3: Dude, it sounded it sounded like you were. It sounded
Speaker 3: like you were near MacArthur Park.
Speaker 5: In la is what it sounded exactly, And you're right,
Speaker 5: when those are the instances where when you go through it,
Speaker 5: you think to yourself, I just wasted an hour of
Speaker 5: my life.
Speaker 4: I am never going to get that back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it sucks. And then you know, time goes
Speaker 3: so fast. It's as you get older. But random guy
Speaker 3: writes in he says, I can't really talk because I'm
Speaker 3: a walking pharmaceutical experiment. But Danny g should not be
Speaker 3: eating all those snacks. He's going to have a hard
Speaker 3: What what do you last week? I guess you were
Speaker 3: talking about snacks or whatever.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know.
Speaker 5: I don't remember what snacks I was talking about. Normally,
Speaker 5: the snacks that my wife and I have are healthier snacks.
Speaker 5: We have like that skinny pop popcorn, snack on almonds
Speaker 5: like you do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a big almond guy. I do. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: rotate nuts.
Speaker 3: I've got cashews, I've got peanuts, I've got yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I rotate nuts, sunflower seeds, and the one thing I've
Speaker 3: I've really gotten into lately, Danny's yogurt. I don't even
Speaker 3: like yogurt, but it helps your digestive process.
Speaker 1: Eating a little yoga. It's good, you know your gut.
Speaker 5: At Costco, you could get a bag of the big
Speaker 5: vanilla granola and we get that and we put that
Speaker 5: on top of Greek yogurt a little bit with a
Speaker 5: little drizzle of honey.
Speaker 1: Oh, I gotta get some of that. That's a good idea.
Speaker 5: Yeah, bro, And don't judge me for my snacks. All right,
Speaker 5: I am down to a lean to seventy.
Speaker 1: You're like Luca here here the size of life.
Speaker 4: We established that on yesterday's podcast.

Speaker 5: things that make you. You know who you are, Yeah,
Speaker 5: which means we know nothing about you either.
Speaker 3: Jerry writes in he says, Hey, Ben and Danny, I
Speaker 3: enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 1: I'm still waiting for Animal Thunderdome.
Speaker 4: A follow up on this, Klay Travis is here.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I'll let you finish the question.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean you can go. Because he had he
Speaker 1: sent a couple of animal stories he wanted to be okay,
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 3: I mean he said these would be good for Thunderdome,
Speaker 3: and I don't even know if they would be good
Speaker 3: for Thunderdome. One of them is a Russian The Russian
Speaker 3: Ministry of Defense is deploying donkeys to the front lines
Speaker 3: of the battle in Ukraine.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that counts as animal Thunderdome.
Speaker 3: And the local government, Oh, this is actually kind of funny.
Speaker 3: In the Czech Republic, they'd spent seven years. Well, this
Speaker 3: sounds like something that happens in California. They spent seven
Speaker 3: trying to come up with a plan to build a dam,
Speaker 3: and Beaver's built the dam in two days and saved
Speaker 3: them one million dollars.
Speaker 1: How great is that?
Speaker 3: That's wonderful, right, Yeah, so you ran into Clay. How's
Speaker 3: our old morning guy doing? Klay Travis has replacing Rush
Speaker 3: Limbaugh as the top political talk show host in America
Speaker 3: at iHeart.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's doing good.
Speaker 5: I saw him a few nights back at Colin Cowherd's
Speaker 5: volume party, and you know, I didn't press him on
Speaker 5: Animal Thunderdome, but he we did talk about a couple
Speaker 5: of the animal stories that he's texted me recently. And
Speaker 5: every time he texts one of those stories, I'm like,
Speaker 5: what do I do archive this for our children? I mean,
Speaker 5: unless we start the podcast, there's no sense in sending
Speaker 5: me these stories. But yeah, he's doing good. And right
Speaker 5: across the way from us. All the way across from us,
Speaker 5: you could see a big out Kick stage. Now it's
Speaker 5: got pillars and everything.
Speaker 4: Oh nice.
Speaker 5: You know, it's not to the level of the Fox
Speaker 5: Sports Radio stage, but almost. It's a I would say,
Speaker 5: if the fs OUR stage here is a ten out
Speaker 5: of ten, his.
Speaker 4: Is like a six out of ten. Well I have
Speaker 4: done is coming up in the world.
Speaker 3: I have done a guest spot on OutKick. They had
Speaker 3: me on as a guest a couple of times during
Speaker 3: the summer. I'm a great guest during the summer because
Speaker 3: there's you know, they're trying to kill time on all
Speaker 3: these shows I was on. I didn't mention this on
Speaker 3: the I don't know why didn't mention this with almost
Speaker 3: Andy Reid or Yesterday with You. But on Monday, I
Speaker 3: made the rare and appropriate appearance on the number one
Speaker 3: morning show in Boston as a guest on the Sports
Speaker 3: Hub in Boston, which is Morning Drive, a prime time
Speaker 3: and the guys that do the morning show in the
Speaker 3: Sports Hub that my show is the Overnight Show is
Speaker 3: carried on the Sports Hub, and they're listening.
Speaker 1: They listened to the show.
Speaker 3: A lot of the morning guys listen on their way
Speaker 3: into work, and they're fans of the Overnight Show, which
Speaker 3: was great because they apparently hate every other morning show.
Speaker 1: They were ripping like my competitor at at Odyssey.
Speaker 3: They were ripping our old overnight guy that used to
Speaker 3: work at our place, and so it was. It was
Speaker 3: pretty cool and even better than that, a lot of
Speaker 3: my people that work on Benny Versus The Penny. I
Speaker 3: did not tell anyone I was going to be on there.
Speaker 3: I think I mentioned it briefly on my overnight show.
Speaker 3: But a bunch of people that I did not tell
Speaker 3: were sending me text messages because they just randomly happened
Speaker 3: to hear that, which was, Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: When in that show, does I mean they you talk
Speaker 1: about ratings?
Speaker 3: That show is absolutely insane, the amount of listeners they get.
Speaker 1: And you know Boston.
Speaker 3: Sports Radio who absolutely next level. But Fred Toucher in
Speaker 3: the morning Toucher and Hardy, I believe, I think that's
Speaker 3: the name of the show, Toucher and Hardy. They're on
Speaker 3: underwear and he's like an old DJ guy who became
Speaker 3: a sports guy.
Speaker 1: You know, one of those guys the best. Yeah, one
Speaker 1: of those those dudes.
Speaker 3: Al Frights and we'll get out on this alf Frights
Speaker 3: And he says, Ben, out of all the talent that
Speaker 3: you've worked with throughout your career at FSR, who has
Speaker 3: been the most excited to participate in the game show bits?
Speaker 3: And who's the biggest curmudgeon when they're picked? Also, aside
Speaker 3: from Bergie feeding, Karen Kay answers, have there been any
Speaker 3: other major game show scandals on the show?
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I mean I don't want to real Yeah,
Speaker 5: when Jonas saw you cheating on your computer.
Speaker 1: That's a lot.
Speaker 3: Jonas made that up because he tried to take the
Speaker 3: Overnight show. But yeah, he failed to lie to take
Speaker 3: their test. But but no, I mean Eddie was Eddie.
Speaker 3: Eddie was caught cheating.
Speaker 5: Also, they were feeding Eddie answers he was.
Speaker 1: I hate to say that because I love Eddie.
Speaker 4: Stop. Now.
Speaker 3: As far as the biggest curmudgeons, am I allowed to
Speaker 3: name names here? I don't know a lot. There were
Speaker 3: some some guys I don't know. I feel like Ilo
Speaker 3: never wants to participate.
Speaker 1: When he's on.
Speaker 5: I heard bo guests produced your show one time and
Speaker 5: he wanted to play all the games.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, both show It's It's here and miss alf Uh.
Speaker 3: There are some like Manzi has been great, but now
Speaker 3: because they the company whacked Eddie and we don't have
Speaker 3: updates anymore, there's no one there. So it's not we
Speaker 3: would we would have different people in that chair.
Speaker 4: How does the mallards amount of money even work now?
Speaker 3: Well, it's got to be me and Coop because Lorraina,
Speaker 3: I mean, we love Loraino. Man, she doesn't have the
Speaker 3: sports team, so yeah, it has it has hurt, you know,
Speaker 3: the rotation for the game shows, and uh, you know,
Speaker 3: hopefully the company will come around at some point here.
Speaker 4: Uh, clearly the yeah, bring Edie Beck, bring Edie Beck.
Speaker 1: We love Eddie to come back.
Speaker 3: But yeah, so we it's just me and Coop and
Speaker 3: then Lorraina does password and you can obviously do that
Speaker 3: and ask Ben and those kind of bits and all.
Speaker 4: But I mean that, I mean the mail bag.
Speaker 1: No, no, that's this is different. No, no, no, it's
Speaker 1: not part of this. This is different.
Speaker 3: All right, now it's time for the big Super Bowl pick.
Speaker 3: We got to get out of here. We got you
Speaker 3: got a plane to catch. All right, here we go.
Speaker 5: But alright, Ben, I already know you're going Kansas City
Speaker 5: because you're such a homer for that city.
Speaker 1: Now I'm not a homer.
Speaker 3: I would not pick Kansas City because they have the
Speaker 3: Ben Malli I go on every week with my guy,
Speaker 3: the morning Guy, Bob Festal.
Speaker 1: I would never do that at all.
Speaker 3: But Kansas City will plant the flag is a Chiefs
Speaker 3: three pete Kansas City pat Riley will get making a
Speaker 3: million bucks because the Chiefs are the Kings of the NFL.
Speaker 3: They will win this game by a touchdown. By a touchdown,
Speaker 3: Kansas City win.
Speaker 4: Now, what's the final score?
Speaker 3: The final score, Danny will thirty one to twenty four,
Speaker 3: thirty one Kansas City And now a man who's a
Speaker 3: lifelong Raider fan, Raider, red, Raider born, and when he dies,
Speaker 3: he'll be Raider dead.
Speaker 5: Danny, Well, he's not Iowa Sam today. He's Philly Sam.
Speaker 5: He's Philly Sammy, or Cheesecake Sammy, cheese steak Sammy.
Speaker 4: And you called me cheesecake. We know no one's ever
Speaker 4: called you that.
Speaker 5: But he's gonna agree with me on this pickpin because
Speaker 5: I've seen a vision of Saquon tearing through my new
Speaker 5: friend Chris Jones and that Kansas City defense. But not
Speaker 5: just that, I feel like the Eagles defense is going
Speaker 5: to be the key to this game and keeping Mahomes
Speaker 5: at bay enough to win the game, keeping him on
Speaker 5: the sidelines just enough, and controlling the clock. I saw
Speaker 5: this score right away in my head. Twenty seven to
Speaker 5: twenty four. The Chiefs get some help by the refs
Speaker 5: to try to tie it at the end, but they
Speaker 5: miss a field goal and the Eagles win this game
Speaker 5: twenty seven to twenty four.
Speaker 4: Eagles.
Speaker 3: Well, unfortunately, Danny, you live in a parallel dimension. That's
Speaker 3: not the dimension that I'm in. And I see Barkley's
Speaker 3: gonna eat too much birthday cake before h No, he's
Speaker 3: gonna have He's gonna be a little sluggish, right, little plotting.
Speaker 3: And I'm old enough to remember that this Philadelphia Eagle
Speaker 3: team played a soft West Coast LA Ram team in
Speaker 3: snow in Philadelphia, and the Rams had the ball driving
Speaker 3: down the field, the chance to win the game in
Speaker 3: the final seconds. Now, if you give the Chiefs the
Speaker 3: ball in the final seconds with Pat Mahomes, you think
Speaker 3: they make the play that Stafford didn't make.
Speaker 1: I say yes.
Speaker 3: And even with even with Barkley running for two hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty yards in that game, the Rams still had
Speaker 3: a chance to win the game. There's no way on
Speaker 3: God's green Earth that Barkley's gonna run for two hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty yards today against kan Say if he if
Speaker 3: he runs for two hundred and fifty yards, Danny, I
Speaker 3: will walk to Philadelphia. Okay, I will walk to Philadelphia
Speaker 3: if Bard runs.
Speaker 4: Our company will not let you do this for insurance reason.
Speaker 3: So no, No, that was the old That was the
Speaker 3: old man. That that's the old management. What do you
Speaker 3: want me?
Speaker 5: You Scott Shapiro wants you walk in the streets and
Speaker 5: wants your dad.
Speaker 4: That might be the case. Actually he might.
Speaker 1: Actually I'll save the company some money. Why not?
Speaker 3: All right, we'll get out on that. Thank you Danny
Speaker 3: for sticking around. I know you got a plane to
Speaker 3: catch you get it back to LA We'll we'll be
Speaker 3: on next week again as well.
Speaker 5: Stay in here for the big game. I'm gonna go
Speaker 5: down on the field with Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: You and President Trump said, I'm part of.
Speaker 4: His security detail.
Speaker 3: All right, I'm sure that. I can't believe he's the
Speaker 3: first president. How is that possible president went to.
Speaker 4: A super Bowl?
Speaker 5: Oh, it doesn't make any sense. We're none of these
Speaker 5: guys NFL fans.
Speaker 3: What the hell do you remember when we were kids,
Speaker 3: Danny and the team that won the Super Bowl would
Speaker 3: get a call from the president.
Speaker 1: Remember that. Oh yeah, that was like a big deal.
Speaker 3: But how did none of them? Like Reagan, Nixon, there
Speaker 3: was some big sportsmans. Bush was a big sportsman. Bill
Speaker 3: Clinton loved the party. None of these guys went to
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl.
Speaker 5: I just very maybe they thought they would be assassinated there.
Speaker 1: Wow, Oh all right.
Speaker 4: Saying of them doesn't matter what side of the aisle.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, we'll get out of it.
Speaker 3: Out there like that, have a wonderful I put the
Speaker 3: wild there. I was doing my Tom Brady. Wow, that's
Speaker 3: a lot of Jews. Let's go, let's go, get out
Speaker 3: of here.
Speaker 5: I got enjoy it, Enjoy the damn super Bowl. Enjoy
Speaker 5: and don't let people chit chat over the game. Tell
Speaker 5: them to shut the hell up.
