Speaker 1: Kutbooms.
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. Wow to the clearinghouse
Speaker 2: of hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth
Speaker 2: Hour with Ben Mahller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Speaker 1: Mahler and Danny g Radio A happy Sunday if you
Speaker 1: happen to live in a place like we live in
Speaker 1: where you flip the clocks back an hour, so a
Speaker 1: little extra sleep here on an NFL Sunday, Week nine
Speaker 1: of the NFL. Are we gonna sit here and talk
Speaker 1: about the NFL. Danny, No, no, no, you don't bury
Speaker 1: the lead, my man. That's right, my man. We are
Speaker 1: still in the afterglow. There's still some smoke in the
Speaker 1: air from the hoodlums in La there celebrating, but the
Speaker 1: Dodgers in Toronto last.
Speaker 3: Wait, I must be one of the hoodlums because I
Speaker 3: just shot off my last firework like an hour ago.
Speaker 3: I have not gone to bed.
Speaker 1: Yet you gotta go down to TJ and get some more.
Speaker 1: But the Dodgers have won the World Series in a
Speaker 1: improbable a team that was supposed to win. It looked
Speaker 1: like they were cooked in that game last night. So
Speaker 1: obviously a lot on that are in depth team coverage
Speaker 1: the morning after post mortem on another championship for the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Nine World Series wins as a franchise, the Dodgers now
Speaker 1: moving into a three way tie for the third most
Speaker 1: franchised World Series wins all time. The only teams that
Speaker 1: have more are what the they think the Cardinals and Yankees? Right,
Speaker 1: I believe that's it? So yeah, the Dodgers. Some of
Speaker 1: those were in Brooklyn, but who cares about that. Let's
Speaker 1: focus in Danny g on what was wacky?
Speaker 3: That's funny because you don't give the Lakers credit for
Speaker 3: that Minneapolis title.
Speaker 1: Well though nobody watched the NBA back in those his
Speaker 1: baseball was popular when but Will Smith Will Smith homering
Speaker 1: in the eleventh any last night, Miguel Rojas who sucks
Speaker 1: connecting on home run to type embarrassing for the Blue Jays.
Speaker 1: So the Dodgers win Game seven, five to four.
Speaker 3: Wait a second, though Mickey doesn't suck. I think he
Speaker 3: was the key to the comeback and everything that happened
Speaker 3: in Game six and seven, because if you recall, who
Speaker 3: was the lone man standing on the dugout steps. Yeah, well,
Speaker 3: after that horrid loss in Los Angeles, there was one
Speaker 3: man who seemed to care more than every other Dodger
Speaker 3: and his name was Miguel Rojas.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's fine, and I'm happy he hit the
Speaker 1: home run at all. He's not a great player, but
Speaker 1: this and the Dodgers they're three nothing. They always say,
Speaker 1: don't you can give up a run in a closeout game,
Speaker 1: but if you give up a crooked number where it's
Speaker 1: like two or three runs, you're usually porked at that point.
Speaker 1: And the Dodgers were down three to nothing early in
Speaker 1: the game, and then they got closed. It was three
Speaker 1: to two, and then the Blue Jays got another run.
Speaker 3: It was three to one, and then four to two,
Speaker 3: and you know who that for them? The baseball gods
Speaker 3: did not take fondly to Clement and his pussy leg
Speaker 3: up slide into home plate.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, the Dodgers got out of a bases loaded
Speaker 1: jam in the ninth also, and so they are the
Speaker 1: first National League team to repeat since the nineteen seventies Reds,
Speaker 1: the Big Red Machine and then the Yankees in the
Speaker 1: American League in the late two thousands. But the Will
Speaker 1: Smith home run off Shane Bieber into the Blue Jays
Speaker 1: bullpen there, and that was the first time the Dodgers
Speaker 1: had a lead, and it was in the eleventh inning,
Speaker 1: and then it still looked like they were gonna f
Speaker 1: up Danny after that. So as we talk about this,
Speaker 1: what are you going to remember from the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: five Dodgers World Championship here? And I mean the champagne
Speaker 1: is still being popped from Toronto to Malibu to Tokyo
Speaker 1: and everywhere in between here. But I guess for me,
Speaker 1: it's that they were supposed to win. They won, all
Speaker 1: the payroll, the players being pampered, the private jets, all
Speaker 1: that stuff. They probably had a sushi chef on one
Speaker 1: of the planes carving up whatever. But you know, they won,
Speaker 1: and that's they were supposed to win. They did what
Speaker 1: they were supposed to do. And the other thing too,
Speaker 1: And I mentioned this on yesterday's podcast, Danny, and it's accurate.
Speaker 1: Will Smith, not the slapper, the catcher, goes men in
Speaker 1: black in Toronto, and that home run was the neuralizer
Speaker 1: that thanks to that home run by Will Smith, that dinger,
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna forget about how bad Otani pitched, how bad
Speaker 1: Snell pitched. Blake Snell had an ERA of six point
Speaker 1: nine two. We actually came in Game seven in relief Otani.
Speaker 3: Some quick note on Snell though, one good little spot there,
Speaker 3: and then when Roberts decided to stay with him. Thank
Speaker 3: god Snell was bad enough to make way for Yamamoto,
Speaker 3: because if Snell had just been mid that could have
Speaker 3: spelled the end for Dodger fans and the Dodgers, because
Speaker 3: if he had just been good enough to have Roberts
Speaker 3: keep him in until the Blue Jays eked out the win.
Speaker 3: So I'm glad that Snell sucked just enough the second
Speaker 3: time he got on the mound there.
Speaker 1: That was a good kind of suck there for Snell.
Speaker 1: So but think the Dodgers win the World Series. Snell
Speaker 1: ended up with a six ninety two ERA in the
Speaker 1: World Series, which went down by the way, he was
Speaker 1: over ten. He was over ten at one point. O'tani
Speaker 1: on the mound just as a pitcher had an ERA
Speaker 1: of seven point seven to eight in the World Series.
Speaker 1: But Will Smith with that neuralizer, people will forget about that.
Speaker 1: They'll also forget Mookie Betts batter at a buck thirty
Speaker 1: eight in the World Series, won thirty eight one three of.
Speaker 3: Their I'll remember Bets double play there to end it.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, listen, he had won the game six hit,
Speaker 1: he drove in a couple runs there.
Speaker 3: How about pas not even being able to pop the
Speaker 3: ball up to the outfield to get the sacrifice run.
Speaker 3: But prior to that, obviously, when he was switched in
Speaker 3: for defense, what a fricking play there. He basically pushed
Speaker 3: Kik out of the way. To me, that was the
Speaker 3: pinnacle of that game, which was one of the most
Speaker 3: exciting Game sevens in baseball I've ever seen. But I
Speaker 3: think we got to go back to the eighteen inning marathon.
Speaker 3: You made a great point by giving Will Smith some kudos.
Speaker 3: The other thing that kind of goes unnoticed is Will
Speaker 3: Smith pot all eighteen of those innings. They laughed on
Speaker 3: the broadcast the following day. They said that Dave Roberts
Speaker 3: went up to him and said, Hey, how you feeling,
Speaker 3: And He's like, I'm fine. Why why you ask, But
Speaker 3: remember their fat catcher on the blue Jays. He didn't
Speaker 3: make all eighteen innings. They had to use two catchers
Speaker 3: there for the blue Jays. Will Smith is a robot
Speaker 3: just as much as Yamamoto is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got He's my favorite blue Jay though Christian Kirk,
Speaker 1: because he just doesn't look like a baseball. But he's
Speaker 1: like a big fat they're not big fat guy, a
Speaker 1: little fat guy.
Speaker 3: But I liked that.
Speaker 1: He's a good thing.
Speaker 3: He's Chris Farley, fat guy in a small jet.
Speaker 1: I actually I was texting some people. I kind of
Speaker 1: like that guy. He's like I wish he was. Dodgers
Speaker 1: won't have a catcher for a while because Will Smith
Speaker 1: signed forever and he's I don't know how many more
Speaker 1: years he's going to play. But man, so the Dodgers
Speaker 1: win the World Series, all the all that stuff, as
Speaker 1: we said, Otani, the batty, ra Snell, gookie bets, all
Speaker 1: that stuff goes out the window. And also what would
Speaker 1: have happened as we predicted yesterday in a previous episode
Speaker 1: of the Fifth Hour podcast Danny, is that all the
Speaker 1: talk about you know they were pampered, Yeah, they were pampered.
Speaker 1: They were absolutely pamped. They were coddled. It was a
Speaker 1: country club set up. The Dodgers had the first team
Speaker 1: ever to have two planes on the road. Everyone else
Speaker 1: in pro sports has one plane and they had two,
Speaker 1: and so it's goot Yoshinobu Yamamoto was absolute nails, big balls,
Speaker 1: ninety six pitches on Friday, came back yesterday less than
Speaker 1: twenty four hours later, got out of that basis loaded
Speaker 1: jam in the ninth and you know the.
Speaker 3: Sort of told Ju last weekend, Nolan Ryan like nowadays
Speaker 3: most pitchers are little cry babies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, ends up with an ERI of one o five
Speaker 1: one point five in the World Series, and that is
Speaker 1: like a monk meditating on the mound watching him pitch it.
Speaker 1: So you're always skeptical and it's still gonna end up
Speaker 1: being a disaster at the end. He signed for three
Speaker 1: hundred and twelve twenty five million for twelve year years, right,
Speaker 1: so I mean this guy the back.
Speaker 3: They're going to get their money back next season on him,
Speaker 3: the same way they did on Otani.
Speaker 1: Right away, I'm just saying, like when the last five
Speaker 1: years are not going to be pretty, But who cares
Speaker 1: about that? Right now? We don't care about that.
Speaker 3: And it's going to be our kids problem exactly. And
Speaker 3: I'm surprised you haven't mentioned the cheating acts stroke.
Speaker 1: Oh well, I was very pleased that not only was
Speaker 1: George cheater springer hobbling around out there, he walked off
Speaker 1: the field a loser, a loser.
Speaker 3: And then but Rob, how about that little baby Jimenez?
Speaker 1: Oh oh yeah, Well he started the bench is clear.
Speaker 1: He was trying to get hit by the pitch and
Speaker 1: then you get called out on it, and then he
Speaker 1: got defensive and then everyone goes running out of the bullpens,
Speaker 1: which is like the dumbest thing of all time and
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But there you go, so Yamamoto, quiet efficient,
Speaker 1: no drama, just dominated on the mound and more sports
Speaker 1: amnesia there. But wait there's more. But wait, there's more,
Speaker 1: more strikeouts, more pop ups, more more weekly hit one hoppers,
Speaker 1: back to the moud and the the jinks of Drake
Speaker 1: will live on the jinks of Drake. And also I
Speaker 1: saw some stuff. I saw some stuff after the game
Speaker 1: last night, Danny, where people saying, well, remember when Vladimir
Speaker 1: Guerrera showed up wearing that Austin Matthews sweater earlier in
Speaker 1: the playoffs and see see he wore he wore an
Speaker 1: Austin manual Toronto Maple Leafs guy, And so that was
Speaker 1: the equivalent of wearing like a Titanic life vest before
Speaker 1: boarding your Carnival Cruise Lines ship and all that. So
Speaker 1: the the Blue Jays are done, the Dodgers are the
Speaker 1: champions of all and the Blue Jay's new nickname the
Speaker 1: Toronto Blue Jays. See it's blue, but.
Speaker 3: Are the champions? All right? Have one last thing for you,
Speaker 3: because I want to see how you're going to deal
Speaker 3: with this later tonight, early Monday morning when you're on
Speaker 3: the network. Yeah, I had one picture. I didn't do
Speaker 3: a lot of tweets, but I did one picture. I
Speaker 3: busted Rob Parker's balls. That was fun. You can go
Speaker 3: to at Danny G Radio to see that. And then
Speaker 3: I just put an MVP picture of Yamamoto. Christopher Lee
Speaker 3: aka Spacoli replied back with a picture of that wedged
Speaker 3: ball and next to the wedged ball is a big asterisk.
Speaker 3: All the trolls are gonna blame that on the Blue
Speaker 3: Jays losing the series? What say you?
Speaker 1: I say those people can go eat a shit, Sam,
Speaker 1: which that's what I say, Danny G Please, my God
Speaker 1: of all things, the Blue Jays had the lead for
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of that game and efed it up
Speaker 1: and it wasn't because of that play. It's absurd, But
Speaker 1: that's why everything every time.
Speaker 3: That ball did come to a dead stop wedge in
Speaker 3: between Yeah, the turf in the in the patting there.
Speaker 3: So I don't think you could say I love how
Speaker 3: people are posting pictures of that Mets play where the
Speaker 3: ball was underneath the fence that clearly wasn't wedged. The
Speaker 3: ball in Game six was wedged.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean, if that's where you're going find,
Speaker 1: you know, let's overlook all the incompetence of this rond oblivion.
Speaker 1: Spaccoli ought to worry about his Steelers. In fact, I
Speaker 1: want to get to the mailbag because his email he
Speaker 1: sent me a couple of messages. Why don't we get
Speaker 1: why don't we get on al in here and we'll
Speaker 1: get right to the mail bag.
Speaker 3: Here we go.
Speaker 1: It's all right, This is a great jumping off point,
Speaker 1: Danny G. So Spaccoli, the aforementioned Spaccoli, was upset with me.
Speaker 1: He wanted he was upset. I wasn't active on social media.
Speaker 1: I wasn't on Twitter. He wanted some snarky World Series tweets,
Speaker 1: he said, and he sent me a message an email,
Speaker 1: and then he was like, I guess he had posted
Speaker 1: this stuff on Twitter. And so my take on that,
Speaker 1: I would like to address this because every once in
Speaker 1: a while I get this, I like.
Speaker 3: Well, are you not?
Speaker 1: You should be on social media during the game and
Speaker 1: all that. So Spaccoli's all bent out of shape that
Speaker 1: I did not live tweet Game seven in the World Series, Like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is horrible. I didn't give away
Speaker 1: my content for free on x what that is a
Speaker 1: national tragedy, Like seriously, god forbid that we just watched
Speaker 1: the game like human beings. I don't need to monetize
Speaker 1: the hot takes there. And why would you pay for
Speaker 1: the cow? Isn't that the line Dan we used to
Speaker 1: hear that work kids. Why would you pay for the
Speaker 1: cow when you get the milk for free? We got
Speaker 1: to save the a material for the podcast for the
Speaker 1: radio show. That is a business move, Spacoli. You don't
Speaker 1: tweet your talking points, your monologue, whatever before you go
Speaker 1: on the air. That would be like leaking a set
Speaker 1: list before the concert, like you. No, if you want
Speaker 1: to whine, you can wind. We are in the pay
Speaker 1: to play business here. It is the matrix of the media.
Speaker 1: And if you want to play blue pill red pill,
Speaker 1: the blue pill is live tweeting for clout. The red
Speaker 1: pill is cashing checks behind the microphone. Now, I choose
Speaker 1: the red pill every once in a while, I'll give
Speaker 1: a free sample out, I'll do the blue Pill every
Speaker 1: once in a while, and I'll do an ask Ben
Speaker 1: now and again and all that stuff. But you know,
Speaker 1: not logging into x to please Spacoli. That's not my
Speaker 1: life's work here. I like to stay in Wonderland, where
Speaker 1: the ratings are and where we get paid. Now, if
Speaker 1: the company wants to pay us to go on social media,
Speaker 1: I am more than happy to go on there. If
Speaker 1: there's a check involved in it, I will go on
Speaker 1: there all the time. But generally speaking, they don't pay us.
Speaker 1: In fact, more times than not, the the social media
Speaker 1: platforms will get you in more trouble than the radio
Speaker 1: show will. So that's my take on that. But uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm happy the Dodgers won. I wasn't on I was watching.
Speaker 1: I was you know what I do, Danny now, and
Speaker 1: I've determined, I've I've got a kind of a core group,
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of few text messages to go around,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Daniel, You're you're texting your
Speaker 1: friends and you're going back and forth. Well if that
Speaker 1: guy f that guy, and then you're you know, the
Speaker 1: stuff that you might send out on social media. But
Speaker 1: I just do it in a tight circle of people
Speaker 1: that are around, you know, in my in my circle,
Speaker 1: and that's it. And I'm fine with that, and I
Speaker 1: don't need to put it all out there on social
Speaker 1: media in real time. So there you go. But Cooley,
Speaker 1: knock yourself out, all right.
Speaker 3: I wedge your balls into a fence.
Speaker 1: Exactly a Scott from Florida Rights and it says, Hey, Ben,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you saw the video of the
Speaker 1: Hurricane Hunter's plane hitting turbulence as it flew into Hurricane
Speaker 1: Melissa's I this week, for the AI in the world,
Speaker 1: for all the AI of the world, it still seems
Speaker 1: like ten to fifteen people are needed to fly that
Speaker 1: version of the vomit comet into the eye of the
Speaker 1: hurricane to take measurements. Do you think you could handle
Speaker 1: that flight as a passenger if they offered you a seat,
Speaker 1: or would you pass on taking the flight for science? Well,
Speaker 1: first of all, Scott, I'm pretty low on the list
Speaker 1: of people they would ask. I don't think I'm right
Speaker 1: near the top. I've only been on a couple of
Speaker 1: flights knock on wood here that have had serious turbulence,
Speaker 1: and really only one that was really like I thought
Speaker 1: I might vomit or something like that, But for the
Speaker 1: most part it's only been minor turbance, So I don't
Speaker 1: see any reason to do that. If I had a
Speaker 1: chance to go to the Moon and it was safe,
Speaker 1: I might go do something like that. Yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 1: I don't need to go on the actual vomit commet.
Speaker 1: I see the vomit commet every postseason in baseball. I
Speaker 1: saw Toronto ride the vomit comment on Saturday night, their
Speaker 1: bullpen and some of their bats riding the vomit commet.
Speaker 1: And next time we see the vomit commet will be
Speaker 1: the college football playoff, and then the NFL playoffs, and
Speaker 1: then the NBA and then the whole thing. So what
Speaker 1: about you, Danny, would you want to go on a
Speaker 1: hurricane flying plane? A plane that flies into the eye
Speaker 1: of a hurricane. Is that something that has any any
Speaker 1: interest to that?
Speaker 3: Danny? This kind of reminds me too. You took the
Speaker 3: same tour I did of the coast line there in Kawaii. Yes,
Speaker 3: what is that? Nepali?
Speaker 1: The poly coast the most beautiful place I've ever been
Speaker 1: on God's Green Earth in the poly coast.
Speaker 3: Yes, I took a helicopter ride over that coastline. Amazing
Speaker 3: and scary at times. So to then want to go
Speaker 3: into a helicopter or a plane that goes into a
Speaker 3: storm on purpose and I'm cool on that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, it's a little much, but I'm glad people
Speaker 1: are willing to do it. Imagine when you get to
Speaker 1: the eye of the hurricane, everything's calm like okay, but
Speaker 1: then you know you have to go out. There's no
Speaker 1: there's only one way out, and that's going back through
Speaker 1: the hurricanes.
Speaker 3: So all right about flying into the Bermuda Triangle though,
Speaker 3: to finally figure what the hell that was all about, Yeah.
Speaker 1: We really haven't heard anything about that in years, right,
Speaker 1: Remember when we were kids, it was that was a
Speaker 1: massive thing, the Bermuda Triangle. When's the last time something
Speaker 1: did they must have figured something out on that, because
Speaker 1: we don't. I don't recall hearing anything about planes or
Speaker 1: boats vanishing in years. Am I missing something? Maybe it happened?
Speaker 1: And I yeah, interesting, alf from the Smurf Kitchen says,
Speaker 1: what's the best way to reheat aluminum foil in the microwave? Well, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: alf our friend Lorena is not available, but I'll send
Speaker 1: her a text message and see what's what's going on.
Speaker 1: She heated up a sandwich the other day, Danny and
Speaker 1: she had a nice, delicious sandwich and she put it
Speaker 1: in the microwave there and she walked away and the
Speaker 1: things started smoking, and apparently the sandwich was covered in
Speaker 1: hidden aluminum foil. Made quite quite the scene there at
Speaker 1: the Smurf Kitchen in Sherman Oaks. Quite the scene apparently.
Speaker 3: So were there flames.
Speaker 1: From what I was not in the room, but from
Speaker 1: when I am told there were some flames that popped
Speaker 1: up a little bit, so yeah, yeah, nice, Yeah, generally
Speaker 1: you try to avoid that, but do you know yeah
Speaker 1: ferg dog and Fullerton writes in on the mailbag. He says,
Speaker 1: greeting's been and Danny g Ben you said some something
Speaker 1: on your award winning radio show this week. That couldn't
Speaker 1: be more true. You said, if you get a king
Speaker 1: size candy bar while trick or treating on Halloween, you'll
Speaker 1: remember that even when you're fifty. Yeah, I told this story,
Speaker 1: I said before Halloween, Danny. I said, if you want
Speaker 1: to be the coolest person in the neighborhood, and you
Speaker 1: truly want to touch the lives of children in a
Speaker 1: very subtle way, that will last for thirty forty years
Speaker 1: of their lives when they're adults, and they will tell
Speaker 1: the story to their kids that they were trick or
Speaker 1: treating this list old dude gave out full size Snickers bars,
Speaker 1: you know, king size. And then with Ferg Doog says,
Speaker 1: there was a house at the end of the of
Speaker 1: mice eat growing up, they gave out full or king
Speaker 1: sized candy bars and I'll never forget it. Never. They
Speaker 1: had a son named Elliott. I hope he's carrying on
Speaker 1: the family tradition now. Ferg Dog also says, you mentioned
Speaker 1: Ronda ROUSI a story that you didn't have time for.
Speaker 1: Could you please tell it now, Danny g and the
Speaker 1: rest of the world would love to hear it. I
Speaker 1: don't know that Danny g wants to hear it, but
Speaker 1: I'll go back and tell the quick version, the thumbnail
Speaker 1: recap for fer Dog. So this goes back roughly fifteen years,
Speaker 1: maybe a little shorter than that, maybe a little longer
Speaker 1: than that.
Speaker 3: So just the time she told you if you could
Speaker 3: pit her in the ring, she would sleep with you close.
Speaker 1: So I was doing a show with, of all people,
Speaker 1: Chris Myers. I could because I care. Oh, oh, the
Speaker 1: great Chris Myers. I was sitting in for Brian Cox,
Speaker 1: who used to be a linebacker in the NFL and
Speaker 1: hated my guts.
Speaker 3: So anyway, Christ think you could say that word on
Speaker 3: the air.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Chris Myers and me, we're hanging out doing the show,
Speaker 1: and Ronda Rousi was doing a round of media. This
Speaker 1: is before women's UFC became really a thing, and she
Speaker 1: was like this curiosity, Danny. Remember when Ronda Rowsi came
Speaker 1: on the scene, she was like a beautiful woman and
Speaker 1: was like, whoa beautiful woman likes the violence? You know,
Speaker 1: that's kind of odd, what's going on. She was doing
Speaker 1: a lot of media, trying to build her stuff up
Speaker 1: even bigger, and as she was becoming a star and
Speaker 1: a day before she came on the show, she was
Speaker 1: in studio like Ronda came in. She lives in At
Speaker 1: that time, she lived in LA. I think she was
Speaker 1: from Riverside, but she was in LA and she the
Speaker 1: day before had gone I guess as viral as you can.
Speaker 1: Fifteen years ago she had done an interview with Jim
Speaker 1: Rome literally like a day before You're a Pig. And
Speaker 1: you might remember this, Danny, because it made a big
Speaker 1: story at the time. She had said that before fight,
Speaker 1: she tried to have as much sex as she could.
Speaker 1: As I remember that, yeah, yeah, it was a big story.
Speaker 1: It's like, whoa dude, what's up? Because you know, for always,
Speaker 1: for time out as long as I can. So I's like, man,
Speaker 1: don't have sex before a big game. It's going to
Speaker 1: dr energy and all that stuff. Well, she was like,
Speaker 1: I was a woman, I want to have as much
Speaker 1: sex as I can. And so we had her on
Speaker 1: in studio the next day. So we're like, oh, this
Speaker 1: is gonna be cool. We're going to follow up, you know,
Speaker 1: because the thing went all over place. So we asked
Speaker 1: her me and Chris and she she she didn't want
Speaker 1: to talk about it. She got very shy and It
Speaker 1: turns out the reason she didn't want to talk about
Speaker 1: it for Dog and Danny was because her younger sister
Speaker 1: was with her, and she was embarrassed to talk about
Speaker 1: having sex because her younger sister was with her, even
Speaker 1: though she had just talked about it the day before.
Speaker 1: It was very bizarre.
Speaker 3: But well, I guess that she didn't know whether or
Speaker 3: not her little sister was tuned into the Rome show.
Speaker 3: But I guess if the sister was like right there
Speaker 3: with her. Yeah, she's trying to be a good role model. Yeah,
Speaker 3: my god. But the bad timing because we both had
Speaker 3: situations where an athlete was being interviewed and they were
Speaker 3: giving like one word answers. It's the worst.
Speaker 1: No, it's it's like you're questioning what did you do?
Speaker 1: Life choices? Loser? All right, who's next to the mailbag?
Speaker 1: Let's go. We have Kwang from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam.
Speaker 1: He writes in and says, hey, big Ben and Danny
Speaker 1: g He says, Ben, I haven't heard this on the
Speaker 1: radio show. Have you ever run down your complete list
Speaker 1: of nicknames in the air everywhere? Well, that's a great point.
Speaker 1: I don't do it much on the radio. Anymore. No,
Speaker 1: I really should. Danny I have more nicknames than anyone
Speaker 1: on radio.
Speaker 3: I think that's up to sixty eight nicknames on fifty
Speaker 3: Oh lord, Marcy, I'm still trying to celebrate here, and
Speaker 3: you're now you're giving me an upset stomach.
Speaker 1: What better way to celebrate than just enjoying the role.
Speaker 1: It's not a list, by the way, Terry in England,

Speaker 1: Appreciate that.
Speaker 3: Ben sucks. How dare you all right?
Speaker 1: Next up on the mailbag, Reggie from Detroit writes in
Speaker 1: he says, sorry, I've been away, gentlemen, I was on vacation. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's allowed, Reggie. I think I think we're You can
Speaker 1: still email. I think ferg Dog and Alf still email
Speaker 1: while they're on vacation. Not that the people around them
Speaker 1: like that. Reggie says, there was a survey out recently
Speaker 1: said the number of close friendships the average American has
Speaker 1: has fallen to four. Ben and Danny, how many close
Speaker 1: friends do each of you have? Thanks Reggie. Back at
Speaker 1: work in Detroit. All right, Reggie, I'm gonna go close
Speaker 1: means long term, long term friend. That's kind of in
Speaker 1: the rotation. I would say, hey, I have I don't
Speaker 1: even think I have four. I only think I have three.
Speaker 1: I have a lot of fake friends. I have a
Speaker 1: lot of work friends, and like, work friends are cool,
Speaker 1: but as soon as you stop working together, you never
Speaker 1: talk to them again. You know, they're just they're they're
Speaker 1: they're work friends. They're friends because you have a job
Speaker 1: to do. And and there's people there's only people I'm
Speaker 1: friendly with that I get along with, but they're people
Speaker 1: that are not close. So to answer your question, Reggie,
Speaker 1: I think I am at three. I think I am
Speaker 1: only at three. What about you, Danny? How many close friends?
Speaker 1: Reggie in Detroit is dying to know?
Speaker 3: Are we counting our significant others?
Speaker 1: Well, they're they're contractually obligated to be your friends, so
Speaker 1: you know, you know what I mean, Like you're.
Speaker 3: You're in a big job. So I would say two
Speaker 3: from childhood and then maybe three from you know, being
Speaker 3: an adult. So i'd say five for me.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I have one from my high school days,
Speaker 1: that's my gambling buddy, and then I have two that
Speaker 1: I have picked up along the road of life. That
Speaker 1: I would say, really really good good friends, and that's
Speaker 1: that's pretty much it. I mean, I'm fine, I have
Speaker 1: casual people whatever. We'll check in all that. Scott from
Speaker 1: Northern Kentucky writes, and he says, Hey, Ben and Danny,
Speaker 1: hopefully you're reading this after the Dodgers have come back
Speaker 1: to win two games. But I am skeptical as they
Speaker 1: have returned. Are these sleepwalking ways in the middle of
Speaker 1: the season. Well yeah, you'd be very happy.
Speaker 3: Oh you be skeptical, you be wrong?
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, there you go, he says. First of all,
Speaker 1: what happened to the Ohio meet and greet just disappeared
Speaker 1: and was never mentioned again. Bad job by you. Yeah, So, Scott,
Speaker 1: we had some stuff worked out. We thought we had
Speaker 1: an agreement on a venue and some other logistical things,
Speaker 1: and then it all fell apart. And then there was
Speaker 1: also some stuff where there were some conversations we had
Speaker 1: not to get too much into how we make the
Speaker 1: hot dogs, but with Ben versus the penny, and there
Speaker 1: were some possibilities that that thing was going to get
Speaker 1: picked up by a network during the season. So I
Speaker 1: couldn't really commit to leaving because I had to be
Speaker 1: available for that stuff. So anyway, of course, all that
Speaker 1: did not work out. The deal that we had fell apart.
Speaker 1: I am still planning on going to see Dick in Ohio,
Speaker 1: Dick and Dayton, and hopefully we'll do something in the
Speaker 1: Cincinnati area, although I have a feeling we'll probably have
Speaker 1: to go right to Dayton to get a hold of
Speaker 1: Dick and Dayton and all that stuff. But I do
Speaker 1: plan on going once the weather gets better. Usually travel
Speaker 1: start traveling after the weather's bad here in LA but
Speaker 1: I normally start going on some road trips April. So
Speaker 1: plan on something here. And if anybody has a venue
Speaker 1: in the Cincinnati or northern Kentucky or Dayton area that
Speaker 1: would be interested, it's going to be a few months away,
Speaker 1: but reach out to us, let us know, and that'd
Speaker 1: be great. And he said, my question is this, if
Speaker 1: you had this is Scott. He says, if you had
Speaker 1: to choose either hollering James whoopee pie Blair or blind
Speaker 1: Scott to be handcuffed too for a week to get
Speaker 1: five million dollars, but the other two get lifetime golden
Speaker 1: tickets to the radio show, who are you choosing? And
Speaker 1: you can't quit because of the five million, He says,
Speaker 1: as always, I love the show, love the podcast. Mexican
Speaker 1: John Dutton is still a Loraina simp even if he
Speaker 1: blocked me on X for sending, So there you go. Okay,
Speaker 1: Scott from northern Kentucky. So Scott, I would choose to
Speaker 1: be handcuffed to hollering James. And here's why. I believe
Speaker 1: James is harmless. And he would sleep eighteen to twenty
Speaker 1: hours a day, so I'd only have to deal with
Speaker 1: him for four hours a day.
Speaker 3: It would be a lot of snoring involved.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for blind Scott, I have no chance. Do I
Speaker 1: want to be handcuffed to that? That lunatic And Blair's
Speaker 1: a lunatic also, so I don't. I'm good on that.
Speaker 1: I'm okay, let him call the show. That's that's it.
Speaker 1: But a five million I would. I would absolutely be
Speaker 1: handcuffed to hollering James for a week for five million,
Speaker 1: No problem about that. Kirk from Vegas writes in on
Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour podcast. He says, gentlemen, I know this
Speaker 1: is not coast to coast, but you know that means
Speaker 1: he's lying about that. He wanted to ask us about
Speaker 1: this object that has been making the Rounds in Nevada,
Speaker 1: says there was an object that crashed just outside Area
Speaker 1: fifty one's military base and five five weeks after and
Speaker 1: the crash has been covered up, both literally and figuratively.
Speaker 1: And George Knapp, according to Kirk, who's a regular on
Speaker 1: Coast to Coast, I think he hosted everyone on the weekends.
Speaker 1: George Knapp thinks the official story as told by the
Speaker 1: military is false. He said, this happened on September twenty third,
Speaker 1: and it was just outside the boundary of Area fifty one,
Speaker 1: and it was a crash retrieval. And so there's I
Speaker 1: don't know, what do you want me to add to that, Kirk.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's all kinds of crazy stuff that would
Speaker 1: make your mind explode if you knew what would happened
Speaker 1: at Area fifty one.
Speaker 3: You know what, This gives me an opportunity to bring
Speaker 3: back up the Bermuda Triangle, Yeah, because I looked it
Speaker 3: up after we mentioned it, and it says there is
Speaker 3: no major breaking news regarding the Bermuda Triangle. So we
Speaker 3: were right about that. Recent scientific discussions, though, I focused
Speaker 3: on debunking the mystery with experts like oceanographer doctor Simon Boxel,
Speaker 3: suggesting rogue waves and other natural phenomena are the most
Speaker 3: likely causes for disappearances. So this whole thing here about
Speaker 3: rogue waves, buying that, come on, it's more than rogue waves.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how great?
Speaker 3: Though.
Speaker 1: The Area fifty one thing, if what Kirk is saying
Speaker 1: is accurate, I have no reason to say it's not accurate,
Speaker 1: is that that is a massive military base. They fly
Speaker 1: people in from Vegas out to Area fifty one and
Speaker 1: for whatever object crashed outside of the boundary. Imagine how
Speaker 1: pissed off the people inside were. Oh man, we're just uts,
Speaker 1: because they'll like shoot you if you get close to
Speaker 1: that checkpoint outside Area fifty one. You can't get anywhere
Speaker 1: near there. It's out in the middle of nowhere in
Speaker 1: the Nevada desert. And then and then the thing crashes outside. Anyway,
Speaker 1: what is next here? Blake from Encino Hey, down the
Speaker 1: road in Sino Man. Eh, there you go. That's a
Speaker 1: dated reference, right next door to beautiful Sherman Oaks where
Speaker 1: we do our radio shows from. He says, there's a
Speaker 1: new status shoe, gentlemen. He says, forget about Nike and
Speaker 1: all that. The most worn shoe on private jets. The
Speaker 1: Zegna triple stitch shoe. He wants to know if we're
Speaker 1: interested in purchasing these shoes and they retail, Dan, have
Speaker 1: you seen this? These shoes have been worn by everyone
Speaker 1: from Apple CEO to powerful TV personalities. I've never heard
Speaker 1: of these shoes.
Speaker 3: I looked them up right now? Those aren't those are weak?
Speaker 1: Yeah? They charge eleven hundred dollars for these shoes. Eleven
Speaker 1: hundred dollars to these shoes. They've been spotted on the
Speaker 1: red carpet by actors Hugh Jackman, Nicholas Cage and others.
Speaker 1: They are laceless footwear, It says in the description casual
Speaker 1: Cool Vibes. They you know what they look like the
Speaker 1: kind of shoes and nurse would wear in a nursing
Speaker 1: like a nursing home. Right, doesn't that look like something
Speaker 1: you'd wear in a nursing home. Depending on the.
Speaker 3: Color, well, they I'd rather have some Jordan's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they say these shoes. They're very popular. There's no label,
Speaker 1: a symbol of quiet luxury, and they come in all
Speaker 1: different colors depending on what you want to wear. Whatever
Speaker 1: your your outfit is, they have shoes to match eleven
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. You can go to Costco and get shoes
Speaker 1: for forty bucks that are just better than that.
Speaker 3: Those Costco shoes look like forty dollars too.
Speaker 1: Well, these look like the list look like you're ready
Speaker 1: to work at a nursing home, or you're a patient
Speaker 1: at a nursing home. Jack from Ohio rights and he
Speaker 1: says Ben and Danny Gee a frustrated Bengals fan here,
Speaker 1: I saw that. Another frustrated Bengal fan claims the front
Speaker 1: office was defensive when he called up to cancel his
Speaker 1: season tickets. What is that about? Well, Jack, it's kind
Speaker 1: of obvious what that's about.
Speaker 3: There.
Speaker 1: I'm not in Cincinnati. It's not like the Bengals are
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. We have to wait fifty years
Speaker 1: to get tickets. And if you imagine working in Cincinnati's
Speaker 1: ticket office and you have to sell tickets. And we
Speaker 1: know from just our job, we have listeners to try
Speaker 1: to keep people listening, and it's very difficult to get
Speaker 1: a new customer. Retaining existing customers is the most cost
Speaker 1: effective way of doing business rather than getting new customers,
Speaker 1: and studies have shown that getting a new customer can
Speaker 1: cost five to seven times more than just retaining an
Speaker 1: old customer. So yeah, that they're pissed because it's hard
Speaker 1: to get people to buy Bengal To season tickets. And
Speaker 1: then this whoever that is Jack bought the tickets and
Speaker 1: now they don't want to buy him anymore, so they're
Speaker 1: bowing out. And then they it's like they're pissed off
Speaker 1: about that. I get it. What else do we have
Speaker 1: to see? Page down? See where do we want to
Speaker 1: go on this? Blah blah blah blah. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think we're I mean, there's a couple more here.
Speaker 1: I'll do this. I'll get out on this. Tyler from
Speaker 1: Salt Lake. I'm sorry to Chris and Chris and Milwaukee
Speaker 1: and Rick from Austin. I'm gonna do this last one
Speaker 1: from Tyler, He says, gentlemen, are you guys interested in
Speaker 1: a mad Max Tesla? You better get it fast? Tyler says,
Speaker 1: So did you know? I didn't know about this? Tyler
Speaker 1: sent the story here. Tesla rolled out some new firmware, Danny,
Speaker 1: do you know about this? They added a pair of
Speaker 1: new driving modules. They have the self driving feature, the FSD,
Speaker 1: the full self driving feature. One is called sloth, which
Speaker 1: kind of is a casual, relaxed stand in the lane.
Speaker 1: No no no no no no. Uh. The other, and
Speaker 1: this is the one Tyler brought up, is called mad Max. Now,
Speaker 1: this is the more aggressive model for Tesla. It actually
Speaker 1: speeds through traffic, It swerves through cars to get to
Speaker 1: get you to your destination faster while driving. It's the
Speaker 1: one doing all the driving. And and so now people
Speaker 1: at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are starting to say,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? You You've programmed a car to
Speaker 1: speed and to drive aggressively and illegally. And so now
Speaker 1: Tyler says, if you want this, you got to get
Speaker 1: it quick because Tesla's going to have to get rid
Speaker 1: of it because the FEDS are onto them. So, first
Speaker 1: of all, I didn't know that was allowed. I thought
Speaker 1: I just assumed that you wouldn't be able to do that, Danny,
Speaker 1: because they generally look down upon programming a car to
Speaker 1: drive like a lunatic. What is the liability on that
Speaker 1: if you get into an accident in the FSD full
Speaker 1: self driving mode, but you happen to choose the Mad Max,
Speaker 1: like I don't know.
Speaker 3: It's clearly the other driver's fault, so they didn't get
Speaker 3: out of your way.
Speaker 1: Obviously, without without a question, that is the case. But
Speaker 1: are you going to the parade? Tomorrow?
Speaker 3: Day?
Speaker 1: Is Monday, right, Tomorrow's Monday, the Dodgers parade.
Speaker 3: I mean no, I can't because I have to go
Speaker 3: to the network to work.
Speaker 1: All right, And I can't because I have to sleep,
Speaker 1: so and I'm not a big parade guy. Anyway, I've
Speaker 1: been to those in the past, when the Lakers. I
Speaker 1: actually I was forced to go when the Lakers one,
Speaker 1: I covered them when I was doing local radio.
Speaker 3: Nobody forced you. You are a closet Lakers fan. We
Speaker 3: all know that.
Speaker 1: No, no, but it's very hot, and I remember the
Speaker 1: Laker one there were no bathrooms. People were defecating outside
Speaker 1: because they didn't put enough bathrooms in and all that.
Speaker 3: It's going to be a beautiful Monday though.
Speaker 1: In nice. I'm sure Dave Roberts will say something. He
Speaker 1: avoided the Dave Roberts Janks memory. He said, let's go
Speaker 1: ruin baseball. It won't anyway, if they lost, it would
Speaker 1: have been well. Dave Roberts said, let's ruin baseball. And
Speaker 1: then the Dodgers they went out there and they lost,
Speaker 1: and his fault and all that stuff. So all right,
Speaker 1: on that note, we will get out. Thanks to Ohio
Speaker 1: al again, thanks to everyone that sent emails in. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry to the guys we didn't get your questions on
Speaker 1: the air, but we had a lot to say about
Speaker 1: the World Series and Danny. We will reassemble on Friday
Speaker 1: for another fifth hour podcast. I'll be back tonight, full
Speaker 1: recap of the NFL, the good, the bad, and the
Speaker 1: ugly from a full car, including that big Kansas City
Speaker 1: Buffalo game. How much fun is that going to be?
Speaker 1: In the late television win though, and we'll break it
Speaker 1: all down and put some spice on it, little salt,
Speaker 1: little pepper, and will be good to go and Danny
Speaker 1: room with Covino and Rich all week, is that correct?
Speaker 3: Yeah? All week five to seven pm on the East Coast.
Speaker 3: That's two to four pm in beautiful San Luis Obispo, California.
Speaker 1: Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I have a great day, enjoy the football,
Speaker 1: and aloha as you would say, Danny, I think is
Speaker 1: that what you say? Aloha?
Speaker 3: Yeah? No later, skater, Hell yeah. Dodgers World Series champions
Speaker 3: back to back in your thanks got a murder, I
Speaker 3: gotta go
