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 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air, a reware back at it, The Fifth
Speaker 1: Hour with Ben Mahler and Danny G Radio because hey,
Speaker 1: four hours a night in the overnight not enough. You
Speaker 1: hear me on the Ben Maler Show, there's a spinoff
Speaker 1: of that show with my own name on it. And
Speaker 1: Danny G Radio. You hear him with Covino and Rich
Speaker 1: on the Fox Sports Radio Empire and we formed Vultron.
Speaker 1: Here Danny on the weekends, we get together and the
Speaker 1: Superpowers collide every single Friday, Saturday and today Sunday Sunday.
Speaker 1: Sunday Sunday, which is a fun day. As I am
Speaker 1: still recovering from my brush with a ninja. I'm a
Speaker 1: samurai unless I'm not. If you miss that, that's on
Speaker 1: the Saturday Podcast and Friday, we had Omarvis Scale, a
Speaker 1: random old baseball player, and my favorite Omarvis Scale fun
Speaker 1: fact Danny, which I had forgotten. He was the last player,
Speaker 1: the last one who had in North American sport that
Speaker 1: had appeared in games in the nineteen eighties. Last one.
Speaker 1: So of all the athletes nineteen eighties, he was the
Speaker 1: last one left, last one standing.
Speaker 3: Well, that explains it because I remember having a plastic
Speaker 3: sheet with like half the page filled with his cards,
Speaker 3: his baseball cards.
Speaker 1: His Seattle Mariner cards when he played the King home. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he was. It's weird because he was not a great hitter,
Speaker 1: but he played so long he ended up third all
Speaker 1: time and hits by a shortstop for kind of while
Speaker 1: it's crazy. Yeah, only the only short stops in baseball
Speaker 1: history have more hits than Omar Buskel are Derek Jeter
Speaker 1: and Honus Wagner. That's it. That's wild to me, but
Speaker 1: they what the heck? So on this podcast, we've got
Speaker 1: pop goes to the culture and the mailback. So let's start.
Speaker 1: That means Ohio al gets the band started.
Speaker 4: Here we go, Ohio Oujohn, All.
Speaker 1: Right, let's get right to it. And this story from
Speaker 1: the other day. I've not had a chance to talk
Speaker 1: about this. I don't know if you guys on Covino
Speaker 1: and Rich talked about it involves Miranda Lambert at a concert.
Speaker 1: You see this story bouncing our on.
Speaker 3: Of course, it was a huge debate, such a divided
Speaker 3: topic that whoopee Goldberg walked off the set of the view. Oh,
Speaker 3: because we're arguing so much about this.
Speaker 1: So if you don't know the story, I mean the story.
Speaker 1: She's in Vegas, she's doing a residency in Vegas, is
Speaker 1: that what she's up to.
Speaker 3: It's called the Velvet Rodeo and tickets are only seven
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty seven dollars to get in and see here,
Speaker 3: very affordable.
Speaker 1: Cat. She really looks out for the little little person.
Speaker 1: So Miranda Lambert, she stopped her show and she goofed
Speaker 1: on a couple of fans who were taking a selfie.
Speaker 3: And yeah, she said she was pissed off because they
Speaker 3: weren't engaged in her performance.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So which side of the spectrum did you fall on?
Speaker 3: Danny at this?
Speaker 1: Which which part where you at here?
Speaker 3: I mean, if somebody's taking a set at a concert,
Speaker 3: it is to commemorate that memory as this is an
Speaker 3: amazing moment with me and my friends. So if I'm
Speaker 3: singing and I see that happening, I'm not thinking these douchebags,
Speaker 3: how dare they take a picture of themselves during my
Speaker 3: live performance? She needs to get off her high horse here.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So my take on it is, as long as
Speaker 1: they were paying, I don't see what the problem was.
Speaker 1: And the other thing is, if you take a selfie,
Speaker 1: most people who take selfies at concerts, I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna stereotype. You know what they do? Right after that,
Speaker 1: they go to Instagram or some other social media and
Speaker 1: post them right, hey here I am. Wouldn't that then
Speaker 1: lead to more people maybe seeing this and saying, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm Miranda Lambert, I should go see that show. I
Speaker 1: want to I want to be part of that show.
Speaker 1: I want to check it out.
Speaker 3: Well, the main lady that she directed these comments at
Speaker 3: was on Good Morning America at the beginning of this
Speaker 3: past week, and she said that prior Sir Lambert stopping
Speaker 3: the concert and saying all this, they were having a
Speaker 3: great time. She said they were up dancing. Some of
Speaker 3: the time, they were sitting, other times they got up
Speaker 3: to take pictures. She said, And then when this happened,
Speaker 3: everything changed. The entire mood of the arena changed. In fact,
Speaker 3: some of the paid customers got up and walked out.
Speaker 1: Well, if I'm paying, I'm not walking out because of that.
Speaker 1: But she must have been having a bad day, right,
Speaker 1: Miranda Lambers. I don't think she's done that before, has she?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Oh, I have no idea.
Speaker 3: But you're right, dude, do we know why? Maybe Blake
Speaker 3: Shelton divorced her.
Speaker 1: There's more to the story, Danny's much more to the story.
Speaker 3: Sure, Sure?
Speaker 1: What else do we have on pop goos the culture?
Speaker 1: How about this viral video from the state of Arizona.
Speaker 1: Stories in the winter time when people complain it's too cold.
Speaker 1: I love stories in the summertime when people can plain
Speaker 1: it's too hot. And in Arizona, I've been there many
Speaker 1: times in the summer and it is insane to the
Speaker 1: membrane there in the Valley of the Sun. They call
Speaker 1: it the Valley of the Sun for a reason. And
Speaker 1: they have experienced the last ten days or so extreme heat,
Speaker 1: which is what they normally get in July. And I
Speaker 1: have family who lives in Phoenix. In fact, I told
Speaker 1: the story. My cousins came out to visit us. They
Speaker 1: leave Arizona. They're retired, they're older. They leave Arizona during
Speaker 1: July and August. They don't even they don't, even though
Speaker 1: that's their home. They leave and travel around the country
Speaker 1: because it's too freaking hot to stay there. It's just
Speaker 1: so miserable because of the heat and all that. Anyway,
Speaker 1: get to the point, please, So this viral video, of course,
Speaker 1: as always, I believe it was on the TikTok there
Speaker 1: and it claims to show that the back of a car,
Speaker 1: the tail light of a car melted because of the heat.
Speaker 1: You buying that, You think that actually took place there?
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that happen to a lot of cars, not just
Speaker 1: one car. I'm a little skeptical of this one.
Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what. Near Teth Valley, there is
Speaker 3: a town called Ridgecrest, and we had a radio building
Speaker 3: there for one of my radio groups. What is it called,
Speaker 3: almost like a sister city where they were able to
Speaker 3: do sales in that city for one of their radio stations.
Speaker 1: Part of the club.
Speaker 3: What okay, exactly, Yeah. There. Their radio group was like
Speaker 3: spread out all over southern California, especially in the six
Speaker 3: to six to one area code, and then all the
Speaker 3: way out to Ridgecrest. They had an office. Well, they
Speaker 3: had me drive out there one day to do some paperwork.
Speaker 3: It was like one hundred degrees by eight thirty am.
Speaker 3: It was like driving into Death Valley. It was insane
Speaker 3: and I had an Audi at the time. I'm not
Speaker 3: kidding you, Ben. When I came out of their office
Speaker 3: after doing the paperwork, my leather seats were literally melting
Speaker 3: in the sun, like soft to the touch, to where
Speaker 3: it looked like the seats were dripping.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's nuts. I mean, I've been in some hot
Speaker 1: what I've remember seeing cars. Let me say, I'll send
Speaker 1: you the clip here. You can check it out. I
Speaker 1: don't know though, maybe it was because of that specific car,
Speaker 1: kind of an older, older car, But it does appear
Speaker 1: to be melted. I don't know. It's these deep fakes
Speaker 1: on the internet. Who the hell knows what's real and
Speaker 1: what's not. But it certainly looks if you check it
Speaker 1: out there the I think it's the left side of
Speaker 1: the car there that's fairly melted. It's fairly melted, for sure.
Speaker 3: I love the local newscasts when it gets this hot
Speaker 3: where they have the great stories of how to avoid
Speaker 3: heat stroke. Oh yeah, make sure you day in the
Speaker 3: shade and they put the bullet points on the screen.
Speaker 3: Drink lots of water, thank.
Speaker 1: You, stay in the shade.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, drink lots of water.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And people we have friends that do local news
Speaker 1: and stuff. But it is wild. They have the same
Speaker 1: like fifteen evergreen stories. They mix out throughout the year,
Speaker 1: like when it's tax day and they have someone in
Speaker 1: stationed outside the post office. You know, you have to
Speaker 1: get your taxes in, although that's kind of an outdated
Speaker 1: thing anyway now because most people do it online. Are
Speaker 1: they getting extensions and all?
Speaker 4: That?
Speaker 3: That Arizona melting is real right there that you just
Speaker 3: sent me. That's real.
Speaker 1: Okay, Now, I'm gonna bring this story up because I
Speaker 1: don't know anyone in my circle that is a bigger
Speaker 1: Tupac fan than you, Danny g with your Tupac mask,
Speaker 1: your famous Halloween costume which you're synonymous with that I
Speaker 1: saw this story. This is wild. There was a new development.
Speaker 1: They claim that police have a new lead in Tupac's murder,
Speaker 1: which goes all the way back to nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 1: That's wild that it's been so long. But he was
Speaker 1: killed in Vegas after a fight in September of nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety six. He was gunned down there and it has
Speaker 1: been unsolved all these years, and there supodedly they're still investigating,
Speaker 1: and there's all kinds of different theories on what actually happened,
Speaker 1: who the suspect was, or who the person that actually
Speaker 1: did it was, and was it somebody, was it Shug
Speaker 1: Knight or somebody like that had orchestrated it? Who the
Speaker 1: hell knows. He's in jail. But according to Channel eight
Speaker 1: in Vegas, they there was a new revelation there was
Speaker 1: a search warrant issued this week in Henderson, Nevada, right
Speaker 1: in the Vegas Valley there and they attempting to get
Speaker 1: into a home connected to the investigation into Tupac's murder. Now,
Speaker 1: what could possibly be in that home after twenty seven years,
Speaker 1: almost like, what would they be looking for?
Speaker 3: This investigation has stunk from the very get go, lots
Speaker 3: of corruption and collusion, and there's been documentaries on This's
Speaker 3: been multiple documentaries about how this got fumbled from the beginning.
Speaker 3: So I don't trust anything I see about it right now,
Speaker 3: you're right, what would they find.
Speaker 1: Twenty almost twenty seven, twenty seven years in September and
Speaker 1: we're almost into August now, so it's been close to
Speaker 1: twenty seven years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't believe it was that long ago.
Speaker 1: I know, that's like a long time. It doesn't seem
Speaker 1: like it was that. That was a huge deal in
Speaker 1: that and we were in that in that nineties rap
Speaker 1: Wars where Biggie Small's got gunned down in LA.
Speaker 3: What's really sad too besides thinking about their families and
Speaker 3: how hard that all must have been when it first happened,
Speaker 3: but the thirty years almost thirty years now of hit
Speaker 3: songs and movies and books and everything else they did,
Speaker 3: Like look at how much of a mogul jay Z
Speaker 3: is right now. That would have been Biggie, not jay Z,
Speaker 3: and then Tupac would have been the West Coast version
Speaker 3: of that, so they would have been still the two
Speaker 3: big faces of rap, and they both would be like
Speaker 3: doctor Dre. They'd both be billionaires with a B.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know, I mean, it's it's crazy, but anyways,
Speaker 1: so we'll see if it any happens with that Tupac story.
Speaker 1: And one more at least one more Here on pop
Speaker 1: goes to culture and good news. If you look forward
Speaker 1: to Taco Tuesday, it has now been freed from the
Speaker 1: trademark Kurffluffle after more than thirty years the shop called it.
Speaker 1: The restaurant called Taco John had the trademark to Taco Tuesday,
Speaker 1: which means other places couldn't use Taco Tuesday without paying
Speaker 1: Taco John. Well, the CEO of that restaurant, announced this
Speaker 1: week that it would not engage in a legal battle
Speaker 1: to retain the trademark. It has voluntarily abandoned the trademark.
Speaker 1: So now Taco Bell and every other Taco place can
Speaker 1: legally use Taco Tuesday without having to pay any money.
Speaker 3: That's why I saw your boy recently, Lebron on a
Speaker 3: Taco Tuesday Taco Bell commercial. Who me, I have a
Speaker 3: huge basketball IQ.
Speaker 1: Let's get to the mail bag. You know what that means.
Speaker 4: It's this mail bag all right?
Speaker 1: Thank you? Ohio.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: These are actual questions sending by actual listeners. You can
Speaker 1: send a question in right now. You don't have to
Speaker 1: wait for me to post something. It's real fifth hour
Speaker 1: at gmail dot com. Real fifth hour at gmail dot com.
Speaker 1: No numbers all letters. Spell it out real fifth hour
Speaker 1: at gmail dot com. Put something catching in the headline
Speaker 1: mail or something like that, so I know it's for
Speaker 1: the mail bag. Get a lot of email. Want to
Speaker 1: make sure I know that you want this for the
Speaker 1: mail bag. First one. First one comes from Mike in Fullerton,
Speaker 1: says Hi, Ben and Danny G. Congratulations on another successful edition,
Speaker 1: Lee Mallorpalooza. I hope to be part of it myself
Speaker 1: one of these days, but sadly my act has been
Speaker 1: rejected two years in a row. Yeah. So Mike had
Speaker 1: the idea to try to hold his breath for the
Speaker 1: longest amount of time. I think or it was dead air.
Speaker 1: I think you wanted dead air set the record for
Speaker 1: dead air, like two minutes of dead air. That did
Speaker 1: not work.
Speaker 3: I don't think any of our affil would appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, our bosses probably would have thought that would be
Speaker 1: better than some of the calls that we've taken. But anyway,
Speaker 1: he says, Now, if you guys were in the talent show,
Speaker 1: what would your act be? A little song and dance,
Speaker 1: maybe some comedy or what. Yeah, so I have not
Speaker 1: even thought about the talent So now I was in
Speaker 1: a talent show when I was in junior high school,
Speaker 1: me and my buddy from who he lives in Dallas
Speaker 1: and I's lived in Dallas for like thirty years. But
Speaker 1: we were the Blues Brothers and we did Rubber Biscuit
Speaker 1: and we dressed up with the suit on, the tie,
Speaker 1: the hat, the whole thing, and the crowd loved us
Speaker 1: at the junior high school. So little lip syncing of
Speaker 1: the Blues Brothers was the way to go. That was
Speaker 1: the way to get it done back then. But comedy's
Speaker 1: not really worked well on the mal Or Palooza. But
Speaker 1: God blessed the people that keep trying to do the
Speaker 1: comedy every year despite it most of the failing time.
Speaker 1: And again, do you ever go to act any Can
Speaker 1: you fart on command? Can you burp on and any
Speaker 1: of that? No?
Speaker 3: No, But speaking at Tupac, I probably would have busted
Speaker 3: out a long poem. And when I say long, it
Speaker 3: would have just felt long, because when anybody reads a poem,
Speaker 3: you wanted to end immediately. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The key with poems is brevity. That is the key, right,
Speaker 1: Brevity is the key to life. That's the way to go.
Speaker 3: My haikus, they're my favorite.
Speaker 1: No, my only Victor Brick Jacobs on the flagship in
Speaker 1: la is allowed to do a haiku. Thank you, Mike.
Speaker 1: Next up Fred from Spring Texas's Hellogan, guys been both
Speaker 1: you and your wife have jobs dealing with phone calls.
Speaker 1: Have there been times that you share tips dealing with
Speaker 1: the wide range of people you deal with? He says, well,
Speaker 1: it's much different that the people I talked to are
Speaker 1: enjoying themselves having a couple of pops. Most of the
Speaker 1: people seem to call up my wife. When they're calling
Speaker 1: my wife, it's a serious thing. Usually because she works
Speaker 1: as a nine to one to one operator, there's a
Speaker 1: much different situation. But she does get calls from people
Speaker 1: that are just lonely like I get. That's how we
Speaker 1: found Genie and Medford. The famous story from Genie and Medford,
Speaker 1: the greatest caller in the history of Fox Sports Radio
Speaker 1: and the greatest caller in the history of the show.
Speaker 1: When Genie and Medford kept calling nine to one one
Speaker 1: because she was lonely and she wanted someone to talk to,
Speaker 1: they arrested Genie and Medford. Then they told Genie just
Speaker 1: find a radio show that's on and call them. And
Speaker 1: that's how she found our show and the rest is history.
Speaker 1: So that's how that that whole bay.
Speaker 3: Thank you to all the fine officers that feed drunk
Speaker 3: listeners to us like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, speaking of that, I actually ended up at
Speaker 1: a party, a retirement party for one of the police
Speaker 1: officers my wife works with who's retiring, is moving to Tennessee.
Speaker 1: Got it all planned out and all that. So I
Speaker 1: was hanging out at this warehouse in a secret location
Speaker 1: filled with Maseratis and Lamborghini's and really expensive cars. You
Speaker 1: know that Jay Leno Adam Carolla type setup. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was that kind of set up. I'm not really
Speaker 1: a car guy, Like I love the car that I have,
Speaker 1: but I'm not really a car guy. But this place
Speaker 1: was nuts. It was insane and you wouldn't know it
Speaker 1: from the outside. It's just like a normal, non descript building.
Speaker 3: I would have loved that. I bet inside Adam Carolla's
Speaker 3: garage before I want to leave.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it was cool. It reminded me of my
Speaker 1: Hot Wheels collection when I was a kid, except this
Speaker 1: was the real car. Like, I was like, this is nuts,
Speaker 1: and so I did that. That was that was interesting.
Speaker 1: That was fun. We had a good time. The problem Danny,
Speaker 1: And this was just triggered by Fred's email for some
Speaker 1: reason she brought he brought my wife's name up. When
Speaker 1: you go to I am an introvert, so for parties
Speaker 1: are kind of tough for me. But when you go
Speaker 1: to a party, what is the proper amount of time
Speaker 1: to spend it a party? If you're not hosting the part,
Speaker 1: if you're visiting the party, what would you think the
Speaker 1: proper amount of time is to spend at a party?
Speaker 3: Dan, depends how many drugs and how much alcohol is there.
Speaker 1: I'm on drugs right now, man, Yes, I completely understand.
Speaker 1: But on a you were to go in the middle
Speaker 1: of the bell curve.
Speaker 3: Uh, probably ninety minutes, I'm guessing.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So ninety minutes is the amount of time that
Speaker 1: most would say, because ninety minutes. If you go to
Speaker 1: see a Broadway show, they're ninety minutes with a maybe
Speaker 1: it's like a half hour intermission or whatever, fifteen minutes,
Speaker 1: but it ends up being about half the actual showtimes
Speaker 1: ninety minutes. Vegas shows ninety minutes. I would be okay
Speaker 1: with pushing it to two two and a half hours
Speaker 1: if it's a good party.
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people would probably say two hours.
Speaker 1: Okay, so two hours fine. I would like you to
Speaker 1: take a guest, Danny, how many hours I spent as
Speaker 1: the date of my bride at a retirement party for
Speaker 1: one of her coworkers last weekend.
Speaker 3: You're bringing up something that bothers me for my past too,
Speaker 3: because I have an ex. She loved to be the
Speaker 3: last to leave, and I wanted to shoot myself in
Speaker 3: the head with a nail gun anytime I had to
Speaker 3: go to a party with her, because she overstayed by
Speaker 3: at least two hours every stupid time. And so I'm
Speaker 3: going to say you were there for probably four and
Speaker 3: a half hours.
Speaker 1: That's a great guess, and that's a long time. Four
Speaker 1: and a half hours is a ridiculously long time and
Speaker 1: should never be at a party four and a half hours.
Speaker 1: So my wife does not necessarily get the parties early,
Speaker 1: but she wants to be there at the very end.
Speaker 1: I believe in the Irish goodbye. I want people to
Speaker 1: wonder where the hell did Ben go. I don't know
Speaker 1: he laughed, ad he leave? I haven't seen him in
Speaker 1: a while. Maybe he's in the bathroom. I don't need
Speaker 1: to go around and shake hands with everybody and say goodbye.
Speaker 1: But that's me. Most people say goodbye. That's just kind
Speaker 1: of how they Danny hand the guy. At that party
Speaker 1: on Saturday. Last Saturday, we spent six and a half hours.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah at that part.
Speaker 3: Got to be kidding me.
Speaker 1: Six and a half hours at the party. At one
Speaker 1: point I escaped and the party was fun. I had
Speaker 1: a good time. They had a taco guy there making
Speaker 1: tacos on the griddle, and it was you know, they
Speaker 1: had alcohol and I brought I made some cookies that
Speaker 1: brought those there, so it was it was a good part,
Speaker 1: but even a good party. Six and a half hours,
Speaker 1: we round up seven hours. At one point I left
Speaker 1: the party. I walked down the block from the garage
Speaker 1: with all the cars because I just needed to get
Speaker 1: some alone time. And I started calling random people on
Speaker 1: my phone just so I could, you know, just I
Speaker 1: could have an excuse, says I got to take a call.
Speaker 3: Six and a half hours even too long for Jed
Speaker 3: to fly. If there was free cocaine there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well Jed would he would end up bouncing off
Speaker 1: the walls and ending up arrested if that were the case.
Speaker 1: All right, Next up on the mailbag Barry from South Carolina,
Speaker 1: I write saying yo yo mob Benny formally in Tennessee.
Speaker 1: Barry says, this week Russell o'coon announced that he lost
Speaker 1: more weight. Apparently he lost over one hundred pounds by
Speaker 1: fasting for forty days. He just drank water for forty days,
Speaker 1: He says. I know you fast, but have you ever
Speaker 1: gone that long with no food, just water?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: The limit I.
Speaker 1: Have gone is ninety hours, so I've gone three and
Speaker 1: a half days, almost four days with that, so seventy
Speaker 1: two hours. I guess it was a little less than
Speaker 1: four days, but that was when I had my gallbladder issue.
Speaker 1: I would actually like Danny to do extreme fasting where
Speaker 1: I don't eat for like four or five days, but
Speaker 1: my wife does not want me to do that. She
Speaker 1: thinks that's stupid and I shouldn't do that. So I've
Speaker 1: not been been allowed permitted. You know, in a marriage
Speaker 1: you have to give and take, and so she does
Speaker 1: not want me to do Those photos are pretty wild, though.
Speaker 1: Have you seen the photos of this cab?
Speaker 3: I have? Yeah, and I would agree with your wife.
Speaker 3: There's a reason we have sharp teeth. It's to eat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I hear you alf from the cheap
Speaker 1: seats right, since it's Ben, I know you don't do
Speaker 1: list radio wrong. But as a veteran autograph hunter and
Speaker 1: witness to many games in your day, what's on your
Speaker 1: big board of ballpark giveaways? I've got bobbleheads and mini
Speaker 1: bats at the top of mine. And he wants to
Speaker 1: know with you as well, Danny. So I loved back
Speaker 1: in the day. I loved the batting helmet. That was
Speaker 1: always cool, the ripoff batting helmet, the ring, the replica
Speaker 1: championship ring was always like super cool, like you thought
Speaker 1: you were the boss because you got the replica ring.
Speaker 1: And I was at the last ever ball Night at
Speaker 1: Dodger Stadium where they gave the baseballs away before the
Speaker 1: game because they Dodgers had to forfeit that game against
Speaker 1: the Cardinals because everyone threw them on the field because
Speaker 1: Tommy Lesorda incited a madhouse at Chavez Ravine. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I think batting helmet, the bobblehead solid. But they've overdone
Speaker 1: the bibblehead. There's too many bobbleheads.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: We were of the age, Danny, when all the bobbleheads
Speaker 1: were exactly the same. There was a generic white dude
Speaker 1: or black dude on the bibblehead, and that was it.
Speaker 1: It looked the same everyone. They just changed the team logo.
Speaker 3: That was it. And I don't even think they had
Speaker 3: an Asian one at the time.
Speaker 1: I don't think they did. You're right. I think it
Speaker 1: was either black or white and that was it. Those
Speaker 1: are your choices, and that's all you got. Racist, that's it.
Speaker 3: And you know, I think back to when my cousin
Speaker 3: would bug his mom. I gotta go, mom, please give
Speaker 3: me money for a ticket. I gotta go to the
Speaker 3: Oakland Memorial Coliseum for an A's bat day. It's like
Speaker 3: a bat night. Not a mini bat no, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: not a little mini bat, a full sized baseball bat.
Speaker 4: Ben.
Speaker 3: It was Ricky Henderson bat night.
Speaker 4: Nice.
Speaker 3: I'll never forget going over to his house the next
Speaker 3: day in San Jose, California, and he's swinging this Ricky
Speaker 3: Henderson wooden bat around the living room. And even as
Speaker 3: a little kid, I remember thinking they gave that to
Speaker 3: you at the game, because you know, he was swinging
Speaker 3: it like a lightsaber. And I imagine thousands of people
Speaker 3: doing that at the stadium.
Speaker 1: It was a different world. My man a different world
Speaker 1: back in those days. Insane. Insane. Alf also says I
Speaker 1: finally broke out the discount outdoor pizza oven and needless
Speaker 1: to say, I am not in your league, but you
Speaker 1: inspired me to keep working on it. Side note, do
Speaker 1: not skimp on the oven. Mine doesn't get as hot
Speaker 1: as the most expensive ones, thus resulting in much longer
Speaker 1: cook times. Yeah, I've not gone and crossed over and
Speaker 1: gotten a pizza oven, but that he sent me some
Speaker 1: photos here and they look good.
Speaker 3: Alf.
Speaker 1: You got more bubble action than I get on my pizza.
Speaker 1: But I will challenge anyone with my parmesan garlic twists.
Speaker 1: That that is next level by far, Howard writes in
Speaker 1: says Ben and Danny Guy's when conducting an interview, do
Speaker 1: you have the subject normally calling in to wait on
Speaker 1: hold or do you call them and start right away?
Speaker 1: People can be flaky and break appointments. Yeah, we've had
Speaker 1: we've had some issues on the on the podcast.
Speaker 3: Brian bill Brian Billick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Brian Billick was an all timer, and hey, we
Speaker 1: you know we had to scramble the track track down
Speaker 1: Joey Chestnut a couple of weeks ago. Joey was not
Speaker 1: the easiest guy to track down, track down through that
Speaker 1: whole episode, but he was great when we finally got
Speaker 1: him and whatnot. But that was was tough. It depends
Speaker 1: on the person the greatest interview as far as being
Speaker 1: on time, I've told the story a few times. Kurt
Speaker 1: Warner amazing. Kurt Warner called in like an half an
Speaker 1: hour early to make sure he was on time for
Speaker 1: a radio interview. That's unheard of and could not have
Speaker 1: been nicer. So that was it. And then a lot
Speaker 1: of these other guys, Danny and we end up going
Speaker 1: to get a search.
Speaker 3: Party for them. Oh yeah, I was going to say.
Speaker 3: We talked about Miranda Lambert at the start of this.
Speaker 3: And sometimes you'll get somebody just having a bad day.
Speaker 3: I mean, we're all human. If athlete or coach, whoever
Speaker 3: we're trying to talk to is having a bad day,
Speaker 3: that leads over to what we're trying to do. So
Speaker 3: we're always crossing our fingers, like, come on, be in
Speaker 3: a good mood. Be in a good mood, give us
Speaker 3: an extra ten minutes of talk time.
Speaker 1: Get out of bed on the right side, get out
Speaker 1: of do not get out of bed on the wrong
Speaker 1: sit get out on the right side. Terry and England
Speaker 1: rights in on the mailback says, can you have Don Martin,
Speaker 1: my man and Scott Shapiro on the podcast? Never heard
Speaker 1: of them so we know about their jobs and backgrounds,
Speaker 1: my man, I mean we could.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I bet you Don would probably do it. Track him down,
Speaker 1: my man.
Speaker 3: There's an old saying that you don't piss where you eat,
Speaker 3: my man.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: I mean I love Don. I talk to Don every
Speaker 1: time my contract comes up, and we have a great
Speaker 1: conversation about radio and life and family. And but that's
Speaker 1: once every three years or so, so I think we're good.
Speaker 1: And then I love Scott too. I don't know that
Speaker 1: we want to have them on the on the podcast.
Speaker 1: Clayton from Dodge City right, and he says, Ben, is
Speaker 1: it possible that you and Angry Bill are separated at birth?
Speaker 1: You just seem like brothers, possibly even twin brothers. Look
Speaker 1: into it, well, that would be impressive, considering Angry Bill
Speaker 1: is probably thirty years older than I am, so maybe
Speaker 1: not close twenty five years. That would be very, very difficult.
Speaker 1: Tony in Seattle says, question for both of you guys,
Speaker 1: what are you going to do in retirement? I think
Speaker 1: we've gotten this question semi regularly. People trying to retire us, Danny.
Speaker 1: Are they trying to get rid of us? Is that
Speaker 1: what's going on here?
Speaker 3: Well, we found out that Dan Patrick is going to
Speaker 3: retire in December of twenty twenty seven, when his contract
Speaker 3: is up. So yeah, we talked about this just last weekend.
Speaker 3: We're going to go the coast to coast route, you know,
Speaker 3: have a heart attack live on the radio.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my name will pop up in the New York Post.
Speaker 1: Radio guy for fifty years, drops dead and the show
Speaker 1: goes on, and that's you know, that's how that goes.
Speaker 3: George Nori, who said he wants to croak while he's
Speaker 3: doing the show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right here on this podcast. I asked George how
Speaker 1: much longer he wants to do it? He's done in
Speaker 1: a long time, he's getting older, and he said no,
Speaker 1: he just wants to keep going and he wants to
Speaker 1: die on the air and then his producer will come
Speaker 1: in there and take over and then that'll be that
Speaker 1: and the end is there? What a way to go out?
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Wrights and says Ben, did they speed baseball up?
Speaker 1: Too much. I hardly have time to crack my second
Speaker 1: tall frosty beer and it's already the ninth inning. No, no,
Speaker 1: I have not. I don't think it's too fast. We'll
Speaker 1: find out in the playoffs that they're likely going to
Speaker 1: add some more time in the Plus, it's been great
Speaker 1: for me because the overnight show would get covered up
Speaker 1: by postgame baseball coverage on the West Coast, and we
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about that anymore because most of
Speaker 1: the games end by ten o'clock and our show starts
Speaker 1: at eleven in the West. Leo rights In says, what
Speaker 1: are the chances that Roberto comes back? Danny, what do
Speaker 1: you think the chances are Roberto, who just quit Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio a month ago, is going to now come
Speaker 1: back to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3: The same chance that Jake Stay Awake with Jake is
Speaker 3: going to come back.
Speaker 1: Yes, the great Jake More who's now a professor, Stay.
Speaker 3: Away Professor Jake. I talked to him just a couple
Speaker 3: of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: Burrow Guido writes in from Columbus, Ohio, says, gentlemen, what
Speaker 1: are your favorite NFL alternative uniforms? Mine the Benal's white
Speaker 1: and white helmet.
Speaker 3: You see how they would get into it with the
Speaker 3: Browns about those white helmets.
Speaker 1: They were douking it out over helmets. I don't have
Speaker 1: the alternative uniform. I love the old retro uniforms because
Speaker 1: it goes back to my youth. And I get a
Speaker 1: kick out of people that look at the Seattle Seahawks
Speaker 1: the other day announced they're going back to where those
Speaker 1: nineties uniforms they had, and people are like, oh, those
Speaker 1: are really those are great, those look wonderful. I'm Mike, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember covering games the Seahawks were playing and they
Speaker 1: were wearing those uniforms. Holy crap, what the hell happened?
Speaker 1: But my favorites Pat Patriot and Bucko Bruce. Those are
Speaker 1: by far my favorite. And just the Bucks uniform so
Speaker 1: ugly with the pirate with the knife in his mouth,
Speaker 1: so disgusting, but yet so wonderful. It is just marvelous,
Speaker 1: just great. So any favorite Danny from the retro alternative
Speaker 1: uniform phase of the NFL.
Speaker 3: I'm thinking more of the NBA alternate. I like the
Speaker 3: black and gold Laker uniform, so the old gold with
Speaker 3: the black, I think that looks cool. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I like the powder blue from the clips they were.
Speaker 1: They don't wear those anymore. I hate the Clippers logo
Speaker 1: right now. It's disgusting, but that's that's just me. You
Speaker 1: got the con door?
Speaker 4: What what?
Speaker 1: Why? How dare you? Let's see, Andy, we'll get out
Speaker 1: on this. Andy the comic book guy rights in. He says,
Speaker 1: have you ever had a scary moment during a flight?
Speaker 1: I think we've gotten this also because I've told the story.
Speaker 1: We Andy go back and hear the podcast in the past.
Speaker 1: But I got stuck, no real turbulence, but we got
Speaker 1: stuck one time at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago and
Speaker 1: they had taxied away from the gate. There was a
Speaker 1: thunderstorm and I was flying from Chicago to New York's.
Speaker 1: That's about a two and a half hour flight. If
Speaker 1: I remember correct, It's not that long a flight, maybe
Speaker 1: even less than that. But we ended up spending a
Speaker 1: ridiculous amount of time on the plane and people were
Speaker 1: really freaking out, pissed off. It was ridiculous. So that
Speaker 1: was my airline.
Speaker 3: Story, and I've told one from back in the day
Speaker 3: where we had to refuel near New Orleans because of weather,
Speaker 3: bad weather, and we had to keep circling and circling,
Speaker 3: but one of the more recent, and just the look
Speaker 3: in rich Davis's eyes was worth the price of admission.
Speaker 3: We get in a plane to go to one of
Speaker 3: these Vegas live broadcasts, and the flight attendant that got
Speaker 3: on the mic for whatever reason, kept saying the word extreme.
Speaker 3: We're gonna have extreme turbulence. What Rich Davis is looking
Speaker 3: around like a scared little lost puppy. Extreme. It was.
Speaker 3: It was a guy who said it, and he kept
Speaker 3: saying the word extreme, and Covino said, does he need
Speaker 3: to keep saying that word? And we got up off
Speaker 3: the ground, and honestly, the turbulence weren't all that bad.
Speaker 3: I think they were just trying to get out of
Speaker 3: providing drink service.
Speaker 1: Yeah, or they were doing the old make it seem
Speaker 1: worse and then when it's not that bad people, So
Speaker 1: I see, wasn't that bad. There's no turbulence, everything's you know,
Speaker 1: everyone be smooth, and then there's turbunes people. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, Well I'll get out on that Danny Sunday anything.
Speaker 1: I'll be back tonight on the Ben Malor Show. From
Speaker 1: I've been to three in the morning in the West
Speaker 1: and two to six in the East in the morning
Speaker 1: on Monday.
Speaker 3: I'm like Eddie Murphy on Sunday nights. I like to
Speaker 3: party all the time. It's the one day of the
Speaker 3: week where I hear your live show because I'm still awake.
Speaker 3: Oh nice from the weekend. Yeah, so I normally hear
