They're 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:44.800 very controversial couple on the show, Helen and Stu. They 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:48.200 are either loved or hated. They were at war with 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:53.400 the previous co host sidekick of the Fifth Hour. And 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.040 uh here's the emails.

Ironically, Helen and Stewright, 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:10.600 our festival spans eight days. To coincidence, we think, not, 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:15.160 that's right, Helen and Stull, I'm eating a a nice, desisious, 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:20.280 delicious meal of Latka's and jelly doughnuts right now, and 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:22.120 she says, let's go to the man of the hour, 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:26.880 Danny g Helen and stou Sy welcome home to Mallard 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:33.000 Town a radio prose pro.

Danny man, I like, that's a good line. 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.760 You should put that on your resume there on a 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:50.799 great voice with a raw but honest street edge to him. 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:55.560 I like that mad really bad movie summary and bad skill, 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:59.000 mad skills, not bad mad skills.

The show 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:32.000 was good, but scheduling wise it did not work out anyway. 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:36.560 Helen says, Stu and I the entire Mallard militia except 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:40.480 for apparently, she says Stu and I the entire Malla 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:45.480 militia except for the moose in Montana.

Once you're married, will 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:50.080 you finally reveal your last name? Well, as you know, Ben, 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.800 the last name was really never a secret. It was 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:56.120 just kind of a radio bit we did to have 0:04:56.240 --> 0:05:00.080 some fun. Yeah, I don't mind letting everybody know that 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:06.920 I'm actually part of the Gara Deli chocolate Empire. That's 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:10.280 why I have time to play around with kids after school. 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:13.320 On the football field and sit around in the middle 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:15.440 of the night and do podcasts with you. I mean, 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:20.400 I look, Garri Deli, you know the name. You trust it. 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:22.680 It's some it's some wonderful chocolate. And so I have 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:26.080 to thank my great grandfather. Yeah, he comes from a 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.599 long line of chocolate tears, the garat Deli chocolate family 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:32.040 and my favorite dessert, Danny. And one of the reasons 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.000 I'm friends with you is the Gara Deli ice cream 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:38.440 cookie Sunday, which is an amazing thing. And there's been many, 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:42.040 many years of civil war between gar Deli's Chocolate in 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:46.880 northern California and Sees Candy in southern California. And oh yeah, 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:51.200 screw those these people. They tried to steal that idea 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.880 from my aunt, uh years and years ago. So I'm 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.560 glad you're a fan. Ben. You know, I've always been 0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.920 pro Gared Delli, which upset my mom. My mom was 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:03.040 to seize candy woman. And I love Geared Delli. And 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:05.560 in fact, I've been to San Francisco in downtown there 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:07.960 in the financial district, there's a Geared Dellis. As you know, 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:10.680 because you run the company. Are you related through blood? 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.920 The Gara Delli's chocolate right there, Danny Amazing. I grew 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.560 up in that shop. Yeah, it's great. You were a 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:18.840 little boy and you were making ice cream Sundays as 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:23.200 a child. Pierre from Springfield rights in and says, Ben, 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:27.360 now that you've successfully had the elitist boil removed from 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.400 your tourkis, is there any truth to the rumor that 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:34.719 he's moving to Vermont to form a supergroup with Arnie 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:38.039 for those that have been permanently emotionally scarred by the 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:43.880 Mallard militia? Yeah, there's probably like, Uh, they meet every 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:48.880 Thursday at two o'clock and they trash Justin in Cincinnati, 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:54.760 just Josh, who else? Uh? Flexis and Buffalo and the 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.760 whole group. Poor Artie. Did you see how his Twitter 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:01.320 got hacked? I wondered what had been because Arnie started 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:04.480 following me again randomly, and I thought, well, why did 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:06.440 you stop following me? He I didn't realize he had 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.720 gotten hacked. You got followed, I got blocked, and it's 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:13.440 some company trying to sell PS five's. It's like, Uh, 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.800 it's weird. It's like some video game company hacked him. 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:21.360 Fan your Yeah, and Arnie lent me a text called me. 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.200 Buddy called me. I got locked out of my Twitter. 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:32.200 I got hacked. I need help. Arnie. That's great funny 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.559 had followed me. But maybe it was the other people 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.960 that followed me. Maybe he didn't actually follow me. I 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:40.880 don't I don't know anyway. Pierre and Springfield, also a 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:43.200 friend of Alfie Indian Or Piner says, has Danny g 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:47.600 been permanently excommunicated by the suits at fs ARE or 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:51.240 is there hope that he can fill in for Roberto 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:56.040 and resurrect some classic Genie drops. Uh, now you're you're 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.120 a producer. Now you're not an engineer anymore. You've moved 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:02.080 on to producing. But people do miss that Danny, the 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:05.520 Genie and Medford drops. The old fans of the show, Roberto, 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.800 Roberto was not around for Genie and you were there 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:12.360 in the glory days of Genie and Medford. An amazingly 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.920 gifted caller that sports radio and one of my favorites, 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.760 the greatest caller in the history of the show. And 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.120 we had so many jobs. She was a drop machine, 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.960 she really was. She was. I missed Genie a lot. 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:29.840 Always would call with a story about her neighbor. Yes, yes, 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:33.280 and she tells stories about like random dating people that 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.160 being at the liquor store and a Raiders fan and 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.120 a Chargers fan, and she would tell me, I love 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:43.520 you because you're a Raiders fan. And uh, you're right 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.920 though about the drops, I would be cutting up at 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:50.920 least five Genie drops a week. I got it all 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:56.080 over me. God bless truly the paper Boy's security guards 0:08:56.559 --> 0:09:08.640 and drivers. That's true, Dawn. When I write my book someday, Danny, 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:10.840 I'm gonna have a chapter on Genie and Medford, at 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:14.280 least part of a chapter on Genie Medford. Because this woman. 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:18.000 I thought I was getting punked when she started calling 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:19.440 the show. I thought, this is not a real this 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:22.480 is a fake. I'm getting cat fished or something. This 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:24.880 is not a real one. And it turned out she 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:28.400 was real. And the story is she was little down 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:30.120 her lock, I think it's fair to say, and she 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.400 was self medicating herself, and she was a lonely woman 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:37.000 and she started I just wanted somebody to talk to, 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:41.320 and she called one to talk to nine on one, 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:44.360 and then it became problematic because you're not supposed to 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.800 do that unless you have an actual emergency. So they 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.080 arrested Genie and Medford and then they told one of 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.840 the police officers told her, hey, you should your lonely 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:56.280 listen to the radio call the radio show. And for 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.439 some reason, all the radio shows on the dial in Medford, Oregon. 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.640 She found our show and started calling the show, and 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.880 a legend was born. And when she passed away, Danny, 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.199 they raised the fans of the show raised so much 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.640 money because she was by herself, she was a you know, 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:15.839 a lonely old woman, and paid for her funeral expenses 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.160 and they had enough money left over. There's a plaque 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:22.480 at that Swan Boat Park near Dodger Stadium with j 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:27.480 name on it, unless the unless the people that live 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:29.959 there have ripped that sign down. But assuming it's I 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:31.840 assume it's still there. It's not the greatest part of 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:34.200 l A. But it's a beautiful park. Well it's there. 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:38.280 Somebody's camping permanently on the bench, but it's there. Someone's 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:43.520 home right now, but somebody's floorboard, but it's there. Yeah, 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:45.920 were you Were you on the show when we had 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:52.440 Genie versus Pete and Pittsburgh. Oh my god, that was unreal. 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:58.040 Genie starts talking like a gangster and yeah, she channeled 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:02.640 Goodfellas was then. And then there was Genie versus Tammy, 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:09.439 remember yes, the towel. That was a stunner that we 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:12.640 we all anticipated that Jennie would just destroy Tammy and 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:15.560 Montana who knew that Tammy had the kind of verbal 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:20.160 boxing skills to Bob and we verbally in that kind 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:24.720 of theater and it was like Tammy took out Muhammed Ali. Yeah, 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:30.199 he was an imaginable upset on the show and that 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.839 was that was great, and I remember we were all 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:36.880 stunned and Tammy's got some bulldog in her. Jennie ended 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:40.520 that verbal octagon by basically saying, whatever I'm out of here, 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:44.160 you're a poopoo head. Yeah, like no mos no moss, 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:48.520 no moss. Essentially all right, Matt from Mansfield, Texas, right, 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.400 sinces Ben. I recall when I first started listening to 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.040 the show that Danny g was still on then, but 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.880 I don't recall much about it. And you give us 0:11:56.920 --> 0:12:01.240 some of the history and notable mom it's well Genie 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.480 and Metford was a big part of it. Yeah, we 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:05.679 had we had some great times. We had a lot 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:08.280 of listeners stopped by met a lot of listeners back 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.920 before the whole COVID thing shut that down at the building, 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:14.160 and we got to throw out the first pitch at 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:16.600 a game in Baker's Field, which was a lot of fun. 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:21.400 And we had Coope eat that's a lean live there, Yes, yes, 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:24.840 it was great. We had him eat a seventy two 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:27.720 hour old sitting out in the break room hot dog 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.760 from Burger King, yes, from the Jay Moore show that 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:34.360 Jare had had a burger King partnership and they left 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:39.160 food and we was half rotted with a relish, yes, 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:42.760 and the relish is what almost made Coope puke up 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:46.199 the bet, but we pulled money and Coop would eat 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:50.640 random things. We would periscope on the show often, which 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:52.800 was a lot of fun because the listeners loved to 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:55.840 see behind the scenes because at that time, pre COVID, 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:59.480 we were all in the studios together. Yeah, it was fun, 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.360 a a good time. And remember I'd bring in the 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:08.840 DJ lights Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was wonderful. Let me 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.400 tell you it was. It was a discothech, it was 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:13.720 not just a radio station. So yeah, there were a 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:17.600 lot of great, great moments in that time. And there 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:19.880 you know, now you're back on the podcast. So we'll 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:21.719 have even more and once we can actually go out 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:24.679 and meet people, we're gonna have a podcast get together 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:28.600 only for the fifth hour. Quinn in Colorado springs rights 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:32.680 in he's a big p one in the Malamusci says, yes, 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:35.160 then we were around the same age. He says. My 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:40.200 favorite comedian of all time is George Carlott says his 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:42.280 ability to put the crowd in the palm of his 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:47.360 hand was impeccable. His delivery, timing, setups, philosophy and wit 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:50.640 are timeless. For Christmas this past year, my wife bought 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.920 me the DVD career collection of every one of his 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:59.000 live special One could correlate the art of stand up 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:03.360 comedy into hoasting radio with the parallels and then he 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.080 was very kind here says, as you do blah blah 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:07.600 blah blah blah. He says, you have a favorite comedian 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.000 growing up or now? While I was a huge George 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:12.439 Carlin fan, and I've told the story before, Quen, I 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:15.280 don't know if you heard it, but George Carlin was 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:20.600 a sports talk radio fan in Los Angeles and occasionally 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.600 called in the greatest comedian of all time, which I 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.880 believe is George Carlin called in. He's he's he's on 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.720 the the top for whatever. I don't amount Rushmore, but 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.920 anybody's list of top comedians, if you don't have George Carlin, 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.800 something's wrong. But Carlin was a fan. He was a 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:40.960 huge sports fan, and he was an old radio guy 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:45.240 from Dallas. He worked in the radio in Dallas, and 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:48.840 he always appreciated radio and sports radio. And he called 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:53.120 in and he actually became friends. He was George from Venice, 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:56.240 that was his name, George from Venice. Venice Beach is 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.280 where George Carlin lived, or at least that's where he 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.600 said he was from. And he would he would call 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:02.960 up and he became friends with one of my friends, 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.480 Lee Klein, who you've had it back and forth with 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:08.440 over the years, Danny. But Lee became friends with Carlin. 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:11.440 And I was a huge Carlin fan, and I was like, 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.200 I want to meet George Carlin, and Lee like would not. 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:16.600 He would not. He kept saying, I'm gonna introduce you 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.160 to Carlin and all, and they would. Lee and Carlin 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.680 like went out to lunch and they became buddies. And 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:24.920 Carlin invited him to his comedy shows. It was insane. 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.800 I was so jealous and Lee would not. He kept saying, 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:29.200 I'm gonna set you up. I I got to do 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:32.320 it the right way. And then it never actually happened, 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:36.320 and unfortunately Carlin passed away suddenly. It was a big surprise. 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:39.320 But yeah, back in two thousand and eight, I think 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:43.040 it was. Has it been that long? Yeah, Carlin man 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:46.240 one of the greats, and also grew up with Cosby 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:49.720 before he was evil, before he was enemy number one, 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:54.240 public enemy number one. Yeah, Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, David Pryor, 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:57.960 Chris Rock. Bernie Mack was one of my favorites. Ben 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:01.120 Bernie was good Bernie Mack and and then you know, 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:04.040 we also grew up with guys like Rodney Dangerfield and 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:08.040 Sam Kennison. Yeah, They're just been some great comedians over 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:11.120 the years. It's it's almost becoming a lost art because 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:13.680 these guys are scared to say anything now or they 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:16.720 don't want to be But because of the temperature in 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:20.440 the room, we can't do comedy the way we used to. 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:24.720 Underrated comic. He died also Richard Jenny may See Richard, Yes, 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:29.240 very good. Stephen Wright another one that Steve favorite of 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:33.400 his dead pan I don't know who's who the top 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:36.360 comedians are now. I have not been to comedy club 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:39.160 in a while, and you're right with everything, the wokesters 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:40.720 and all that. I don't know if you can really 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:44.360 to me, comedy is supposed to be stereotypes and and 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:46.880 goofing and then everyone it's like a roast and then 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:48.920 at the end you'll hug it out. You're like, that's good, 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:50.720 it's all for the joke, and then we move on. 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:55.320 But nowadays it's obviously not like that. People are very 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:59.640 what's the word. I'm like, yeah, touchy, there you go, touchy. 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:04.040 The Sheila writes, and she says formally from Orange County, 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:11.720 relocated to the free state of Arizona.

I don't know if she wants me to 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:18.960 read this on the air. She says, the non Mallard Militia. 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:21.399 She's not part of the militia, Danny, but she is 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:24.480 a loyal listener over the years. She said she randomly 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:27.520 found the show about ten years ago. She was picking 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:31.639 up her daughter from work a like eleven PM. Or 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:35.399 teenage daughter and heard the Mallar monologue and she became 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:38.760 a fan, and so thank you. She says. She's glad 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:42.560 that Danny g is on the fifth Hour. She says, 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:45.679 she loved you Danny on the show back in the 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:48.720 day with the tinderronis and all that. And she sucked 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:50.560 up to me by ripping Kyler Murray. Thank you for 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.280 that taking a shot at Lebron James. I appreciate that 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:56.480 as well. How about Sheila lives in Arizona taking a 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:59.680 cheap shot at Kyler Murray. Good for you, she says, 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.520 if you are inclined for the mailbag, how did you 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:07.560 and the misses me because I am a girl, she says, 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:10.320 and I I like that stuff. Thanks for the show 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:13.480 as there you go makes me laugh in some dark 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:15.399 times in the world. Well, thank you Sheila for listening. 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.760 So yeah, I met my wife online. I had been 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:22.240 doing a lot of online dating, uh, and I met her. 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:25.800 God has it been about ten years, eleven year or 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:28.200 something like that. It's been a long time, it was. 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:29.639 I got on a lot of dates and they were 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:33.040 all failures. It was a disaster. So I I went 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:36.800 into every date not expecting any of them to work out. Uh. 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:38.240 And I was just convinced it was gonna be a 0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:40.280 waste of my time and they were gonna hate me 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:43.280 and uh and there gonna look at me and say, 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:45.639 this is man's disgusting. I want nothing to do with 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:48.240 this man. And so that was always my mindset going 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:50.680 to dates. But this one, Uh, this, I mean, my 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:53.560 wife is way out of my league. As Clay would say, 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:56.600 out kick coverage on that one. But um, but to me, 0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:58.159 i met her or whatever, I was like, fine, she 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:00.159 just we hit it off. You know, you hit you 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:03.840 meet online, you talk your text whatever, talk on the phone, 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:05.440 you hit things off, and then you got a meet 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:07.560 in person. It's always different when you meet in person. 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:10.159 It's always awkward at first because you already know the person. 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:13.000 And uh. And this one was bad because I was 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:15.240 living in Lincoln Heights and I took the gold Line 0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:18.240 up to Pasadena if you're familiar with l A and 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:20.920 I took the gold Line up to Pasadena. The gold 0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:23.119 Line was late. I was late for the date. I 0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:26.080 was freaking out, so I start running. Problem is, by 0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:28.159 the time I get to the place I met the 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:33.560 now my wife, I was covered in sweat. So what 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:36.440 a great first impression. Show up covered in sweat. We 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:38.800 were supposed to see a movie. You were the white 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:43.320 Patrick Ewing. I was, yeah, exactly, I'm like a big pig. 0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:45.800 I'm a hog. You know, I'm just sweat. And we 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:47.480 were supposed to see a movie. We couldn't agree on 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:49.400 the movie, so we just went and hung out at 0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:54.560 a bar and talked, and so it worked out. And 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:58.560 then you took her windows shopping right at the Dollar Tree. Yes, yes, 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:02.040 I took her anything you want, and the dollar didn't, 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:04.359 didn't I read? I think we do we talk about 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:05.920 this on this I don't know. I talked so much 0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:08.080 I don't even write. We didn't talk about it on 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:10.879 the podcast last week, but it is a news story 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:13.840 that I read, and it caught my eye because it's 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:16.200 a dollar twenty five and up. Now, that's the great 0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:18.320 thing about what's what's your name is known? You don't 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:20.960 ever have to change your name. Don still be called 0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:23.360 dollar Tree or dollar store or whatever it is. Well, 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:26.200 it's like America Online, but it was people in other 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:30.400 countries were on America Online. But it's online. They're living alive, man, Yeah, 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:33.680 they're living a false, false And now appearance. We can 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:36.040 no longer take our kids in there and say you 0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:40.680 can have five things. It's like five, really five things? 0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:43.000 You have five things? Now we're gonna have to say 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:48.320 four four items. Yeah. I love dollar, dollar, tree, dollar general, 0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:52.160 all those things. Uh, Barry in Music City, says yo 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:56.320 Yo Mo Benny. He says, I enjoy hearing, the hearing 0:20:56.359 --> 0:21:00.520 the origin of hello, But I think you missed the 0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:03.679 few years when yo yo ma was the primary method 0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:07.360 of hello. He says. When you make your world famous 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:11.439 Mallard pizza, do you make your own pizza crust or 0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:14.440 do you buy an off the shelf cross. That's a 0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:18.120 great question, Barry. Really depends if I have planned out 0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:21.000 the pizza, I will make the dough. I have my mom, 0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:23.080 as you rest in peace, bought me a nice mixer, 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:25.600 so I'm able to mix the flour and all that. 0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:28.359 It doesn't take that long to make. The problem is 0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:30.240 you have to let it sit for a while so 0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:33.960 it tastes good. And that's the only only issue. But 0:21:34.320 --> 0:21:36.560 usually I'll do it on the weekends if I make pizza, 0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:39.160 But during the week sometimes I'll go to like Trader Joe's. 0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:42.760 You can buy the dough at a trader Joe's and 0:21:42.760 --> 0:21:47.399 I'll do that if i'm if I'm saving saving time. 0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:51.560 Derek in Parts Unknown says, why is it that Fox 0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:55.919 is playing some FIFA tournament on the serious feed instead 0:21:55.960 --> 0:21:59.920 of your show? Uh, he says, I transition from list 0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:01.920 thing to your show in the house to the car 0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:04.280 at the start of the last hour the past few 0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:09.000 days serious as the damn football on this is insanity 0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:12.080 must be stuffed. Well, Derek, the problem is, and you 0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:14.560 know this day, we share that that Fox Sports Radio 0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:18.040 channel is a joint venture between Fox Sports Radio and 0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:23.160 they carry Fox Sports television programming like Skip Bayliss's show 0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:26.960 and some other those debate shows are on there. So um, 0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:30.720 we're pretty much, you know, if it's between radio and television, 0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:33.159 what television wants and what radio wants to Fox, I 0:22:33.200 --> 0:22:35.280 think we know who's gonna win that battle. I think 0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:37.199 we know who's gonna and and then and rightfully, so, 0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:38.600 I'm not saying that shouldn't be the way is so 0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:42.919 occasionally we get covered up. The good news is on 0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:45.479 I Heart there's a twenty four hour stream. You can 0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:48.160 hook your phone up to your car. I know it's 0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:50.520 a bit of an inconvenience, but you can listen that way, 0:22:50.600 --> 0:22:54.239 and there's also terrestrial radio. We're on most cities, so 0:22:54.320 --> 0:22:56.400
