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. Wow to Clearinghouse of
Speaker 2: hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
Speaker 2: with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere. Welcome in to the pod cast Dojo,
Speaker 1: no days off, no days off. The Fifth Hour with
Speaker 1: Ben Mahler and Danny g Radio eight days a week,
Speaker 1: as we are in the air everywhere and Danny, this
Speaker 1: is the Sunday Podcast. And because the penny, Now, this
Speaker 1: is not the official NBC penny which now bought the
Speaker 1: rights to Benny Versus the Penny for this season. Not that,
Speaker 1: but it still is a this is this the penny
Speaker 1: that you had for last year's version of Benny Versus
Speaker 1: the Penny?
Speaker 3: Is this NBC penny? No, I use the old Fox
Speaker 3: Sports Radio, old studio.
Speaker 1: Penny O that fanlassic it is.
Speaker 3: It's a vintage coin that I flipped on yesterday's podcast
Speaker 3: and it told us to do the pop goes the
Speaker 3: culture this morning.
Speaker 1: Well there you go, perfect, all right, So we will
Speaker 1: do pop. Pop goes to the culture that we must give.
Speaker 1: We must give the proper due to our man. Ohio Wow,
Speaker 1: what do you say? Right to it? We go thanks
Speaker 1: to Ohio Al we love him. If we need any imaging, Danny,
Speaker 1: we work at a major audio company, but we go
Speaker 1: to Ohio. Oh yeah, that's our guy. He's a great singer.
Speaker 1: The company likes his rate. By the way, ohioo, the
Speaker 1: company likes your rate. They are big fans of Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: Is it a nonprofit tax right off for him?
Speaker 1: Well, that depends on how deep down the rabbit hole
Speaker 1: you want to go when it comes to the taxes.
Speaker 1: It depends on what kind of account you have, because
Speaker 1: conceivably everything could be a tax right off, right if
Speaker 1: you really want to not anipicks or nippick things. So
Speaker 1: pop goes to culture. A very popular chain of restaurants,
Speaker 1: which is global, being called out for false advertising. That
Speaker 1: would be McDonald's. McDonald's is being called out. Why they
Speaker 1: have this thing called the dollar menu, and what is
Speaker 1: missing from the dollar menu, Danny, would you like to
Speaker 1: take a guess, what do you think is missing from
Speaker 1: the dollar menu.
Speaker 3: Oh, for a few years now, there's been nothing on
Speaker 3: the menu that actually cost a dollar.
Speaker 1: Ding ding n ning d n d n ding. Yes,
Speaker 1: the Mega McDonald's. They've had this dollar menu for years now.
Speaker 1: Originally everything was a dollar, but then the price of
Speaker 1: food went up, so they said, okay, we'll have three
Speaker 1: different tiers. We'll have the one dollar, the two dollars,
Speaker 1: the three dollar and now they have nothing, nothing in
Speaker 1: the one dollar area. So McDonald's was asked about this
Speaker 1: in some pr hack for mcdonald' said, we built this
Speaker 1: new menu with variety and value firmly in mind. The
Speaker 1: menu is the first time McDonald's has included the popular
Speaker 1: happy meal at the three dollar level. And blah blah
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah. Uh and so yeah, people
Speaker 1: are ripping apart Mickey these They're like, what's going on.
Speaker 1: I know, if I want a sausage McMuffin with egg
Speaker 1: or the classic chicken sandwich and the cheeseburg and the
Speaker 1: triple cheeseburg, that's gonna be three dollars. I know that
Speaker 1: they've got the two dollars portion, but the the one dollar, Yeah.
Speaker 3: I got to tell you Ben too. It's a little disappointing.
Speaker 3: You know, we're not up usually at the hours of
Speaker 3: McDonald's breakfast. But a few weeks ago, when I was
Speaker 3: dealing with the hospital for obvious reasons, the WiFi and
Speaker 3: I went through the drive through and we're like, well,
Speaker 3: we're on our way to the hospital, we'll get some breakfast,
Speaker 3: a nice, warm breakfast from McDonald's.
Speaker 1: But it was ten oh one, and you're screwed? Is
Speaker 1: that what?
Speaker 3: I oh? For two people? How much do you think
Speaker 3: of breakfast?
Speaker 1: Was well, if you're going to a nice restaurant'd be
Speaker 1: breat pricey. But at McDonald's, I don't know, two people,
Speaker 1: it's fast food. What do I think it should cost?
Speaker 1: How did you buy a full breakfast or did you
Speaker 1: just buy a couple of items?
Speaker 3: Now we just got a couple of items in a drink.
Speaker 1: Okay, so yeah, I know, fifteen twenty bucks something like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, try thirty two dollars.
Speaker 1: Fesh, thirty two bucks for that? Did you get it
Speaker 1: covered in gold?
Speaker 3: It is ridiculously priced down. You might as well go
Speaker 3: to I hoop and sit down for breakfast.
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow, all right, Well, so anyway, Insider searched McDonald's
Speaker 1: locations across the US. They used the mobile app. They
Speaker 1: went to a store in southern California, and they did
Speaker 1: not find any item at one dollar on the menu.
Speaker 1: Not one. They went to a place in Orange, almost
Speaker 1: everything listed on the value menu was priced close to
Speaker 1: three dollars, except soft drinks and sweet tea. Those two
Speaker 1: aems sold for a dollar twenty nine. But that's just
Speaker 1: powder and carbonation, right, that's all that is. Yeah, get
Speaker 1: the tea bag treatment, literally the tea bag treatment. There.
Speaker 1: So the McChicken was one dollar in twenty eighteen. It
Speaker 1: is now priced at two dollars and thirty nine cents.
Speaker 1: So that's some inflation for your ass. Yeah, man, that's crazy,
Speaker 1: all right? What is next to pop? Goes the culture? Well,
Speaker 1: here's an odd story, Danny out of Canada, sadness and frustration.
Speaker 1: Prisoners in Canada would like to spend more time in jail. Why. Well,
Speaker 1: according to the story bouncing around here, they say that.
Speaker 4: The issue is Canada's got a housing crisis, and so
Speaker 4: it's it's so difficult in certain parts of Canada find
Speaker 4: a place to stay.
Speaker 1: They're like, can we stay longer? We'd like to be
Speaker 1: incarcerated for a little bit longer. We like, are the
Speaker 1: Canadian jails really nice? I don't how would you know?
Speaker 1: By the way, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm guessing that they're nicer than ours if people
Speaker 3: want to stay there longer.
Speaker 1: Wow, this is in the Toronto area of Canada. So
Speaker 1: I'd rather be behind bars than do that. That's what I
Speaker 1: would rather do. Now. My favorite story. I'm sure you
Speaker 1: guys talked about this on Covino and Ridge. I even
Speaker 1: talked about it on the radio show. But it's so good,
Speaker 1: it's such a wonderful story I need to also talk
Speaker 1: about it here again. It was my favorite story of
Speaker 1: the week, Danny on the radio show. The Nebraska guy
Speaker 1: driving around with a bowl, not just a small bowl,
Speaker 1: a watusi bowl named Howdy Dooty in the passengers seat.
Speaker 1: To me, this is a perfect story. This is a ten.
Speaker 1: If it was a sports card, it would be rated perfect.
Speaker 1: Just some guy in Nebraska pulled over for driving down
Speaker 1: a highway highway two seventy five and this how many
Speaker 1: pounds do you think that bowl weighs? It looks like
Speaker 1: it probably weighs about eight hundred pounds. It's a massive.
Speaker 3: I was going to say, it looks like a two
Speaker 3: thousand pounds bull.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're probably right. I went eight hundred is probably
Speaker 1: probably much bigger. The video. This thing has come completely
Speaker 1: viral Howdy Dowty, how do you do? Uh? And there
Speaker 1: is nearly three million views thousands of a repost. So
Speaker 1: I have learned Danny some intel from one of our
Speaker 1: listeners on the Overnight Show who tells me that Howdy
Speaker 1: Dowty is Internet famous and was already Internet famous because
Speaker 1: of because of Reddit. That apparently the guy that owns
Speaker 1: Howdy Dowty, the guy that put Howdy duty in the
Speaker 1: car and Jerry rigged the car where they took half
Speaker 1: the car away and all that that this guy's been
Speaker 1: posting stuff or people have been posting photos about this
Speaker 1: guy online and he's become well. No, I had never
Speaker 1: seen this before, but man, is that cool? And the
Speaker 1: bull didn't seem to care. You think that bull was drugged?
Speaker 1: What do you think? Ben?
Speaker 3: Maybe this bull was just lullabide to sleep by riding
Speaker 3: in the car. Because one thing I've been finding out
Speaker 3: as a new parent is the reason why a lot
Speaker 3: of people strap their kids in a car seat and
Speaker 3: drive them around in circles in their neighborhood.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, kids always fall asleep, right, that's like the
Speaker 1: perfect sound of the background noise. It's like perfect wonderful.
Speaker 1: Whenever the car stops, the kids starts screaming.
Speaker 3: Again.
Speaker 1: It doesn't work on planes, though, I've noticed that it
Speaker 1: doesn't like kids starts screaming when they're a little sleep
Speaker 1: on plane. But the automobile, good to go? Next up
Speaker 1: on pop goes. The culture is just twelve percent of Americans,
Speaker 1: mostly men. Here's a story shaming us for eating meat.
Speaker 1: Twelve percent of Americans, mostly men, are eating half of
Speaker 1: our beefs apply, according to a new report. And so like,
Speaker 1: who cares? Like, why is that a big deal? People
Speaker 1: trying to shame you. You shouldn't be eating meat? You twelve
Speaker 1: percent of Neanderthals? What's wrong with you? I don't get
Speaker 1: that one. Do you get that one? I don't get
Speaker 1: that one.
Speaker 3: Well, as my grandma would say, if she was still alive,
Speaker 3: this country has gone to hell in a handbasket. The
Speaker 3: other thing she would say about that is there's a
Speaker 3: reason we have sharp teeth.
Speaker 1: Yes, no, I agree. I agree with the taker your
Speaker 1: your grandma's take I'm right there. Absolutely. Well, here's a
Speaker 1: story we put in Popco's The Culture because of your situation, Danny.
Speaker 1: There's a study out that claims it takes new fathers
Speaker 1: two years to feel happy, two years in their relationship
Speaker 1: again after the birth of their child. So, Danny, I
Speaker 1: ask you, is this true for you? Are you going
Speaker 1: to have to weigh another you know, almost two years
Speaker 1: because you're baby G has only been around for a
Speaker 1: few weeks here, right, how old? How many weeks has
Speaker 1: baby G been around?
Speaker 3: He is four weeks old?
Speaker 1: Now, oh so that's that's a month, right, he's a
Speaker 1: month old? Yeah, yeah, very cool. I like that you
Speaker 1: celebrate every month when you're little, and then as you
Speaker 1: get older it's like, yeah, not so much. Yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: You want to ignore the months that are going by. Yeah,
Speaker 1: two years to feel happy a relationship again after their
Speaker 1: child is born.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this sounds like a trap. To quote Star Wars,
Speaker 3: it's a trap. Don't comment on this story anywhere where
Speaker 3: there's a mother nearby.
Speaker 1: Can and likely will be used against you in the
Speaker 1: court of a relationship. Yeah, you got that to look
Speaker 1: forward to. This is more of a science story, but
Speaker 1: I'll mention it here it says that that the one
Speaker 1: billion people will die from climate change by the year
Speaker 1: twenty one hundred, So that means in the next seventy
Speaker 1: seven years, which, by the way, I think the number
Speaker 1: is higher than that, because this is like that COVID bullshit,
Speaker 1: where anybody that died in twenty twenty died of COVID
Speaker 1: pretty much, right. There were people who died in automobile
Speaker 1: access then COVID, that kind of ridiculousness that was going
Speaker 1: on in some places. But there will be a billion
Speaker 1: people that die by twenty one hundred because that's just
Speaker 1: the lifespan of people as certain age. You're not going
Speaker 1: to live another seventy seven years. I'll be dead by
Speaker 1: twenty one hundred. I assume, Danny, you're not going to
Speaker 1: be making it to twenty one hundred, right, So it's like,
Speaker 1: that's a bullshit thing to me, RoboCop, I'm going to
Speaker 1: get some computerized parts, man, that's the plan. I will
Speaker 1: live forever and ever. And well, I missed this. This week,
Speaker 1: sciences believe a wormhole may have opened up over California.
Speaker 1: But that a wormhole, eh, so I missed that. Where
Speaker 1: do you think the wormhole is you think like in Fresno,
Speaker 1: What do you think? I don't know.
Speaker 3: I would say chow Chilla, California.
Speaker 1: It's even better. No, no, no, they say. Scientists on
Speaker 1: the History Channel believe a wormhole may have appeared at
Speaker 1: a UFO hotspot over Catalina Island in California.
Speaker 3: Interesting.
Speaker 1: I love Catalina. Yeah, I'm all for.
Speaker 3: The It's where the Wrigleys used to hold court.
Speaker 1: That's right, the Chicago Cubs old spring training home there
Speaker 1: and where the Buffalo roam. Because of a movie, they
Speaker 1: brought Buffalo there and it was they ran they ran out,
Speaker 1: the budget ran out, and they had you know, they
Speaker 1: we talked about this on the podcast. They ran out
Speaker 1: of money. They were fanning on returning to Buffalo, couldn't
Speaker 1: afford it. Sorry, Buffalo are staying. Buffalo had little buffaloes then, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like three or four generations of buffaloes have lived
Speaker 1: on that island. Well, actually, I'm probably gonna go back
Speaker 1: to Catalina Island here soon, so I'll tell the wife. Hey,
Speaker 1: let's see if we can find that that wormhole. That'd
Speaker 1: be kind of cool. Maybe we can go to another dimension.
Speaker 1: Have big eyes. Let's get to the actual mail bag.
Speaker 3: What do you say, Danny, Let's do it.
Speaker 1: It's bang. Thank you, Ohio Al. First up Kevin in Kansas,
Speaker 1: right Sin. Now Kevin's the teacher. But now Kevin's done teaching,
Speaker 1: so he's living his best life, he says, Ben. Could
Speaker 1: you relate to the story about your meeting with Don Rickles,
Speaker 1: He says, Danny, did you have any similar encounter with
Speaker 1: a comedian? Thanks for the great podcast. That's Kevin. Thank
Speaker 1: you Kevin. You have to let us know Kevin too.
Speaker 1: You said that you weren't sure how this whole retirement
Speaker 1: from teaching thing was going to go. You had to
Speaker 1: wait a few weeks when school was going on. So
Speaker 1: schools in most places. I don't know about Kansas, but
Speaker 1: I think it started. And I know it's Labor Day
Speaker 1: weekend here and all that, but let us know what's
Speaker 1: going So to answer your question about Don Rickles, when
Speaker 1: I was a kid, I went to a family bar mitzvah,
Speaker 1: and it just happened to be at this sge it
Speaker 1: actually it was in Woodland Hills out in the San
Speaker 1: Fernando Valley, if I remember correctly, And I was a
Speaker 1: little kid, like I was a child, but I still
Speaker 1: remember this because my parents had heard Don Rickles was
Speaker 1: at this place, not even for the bar mitsva I
Speaker 1: was at in another room there was a different bar Mits.
Speaker 1: So my Mom's like, hey, I should go up to
Speaker 1: Don Rickles. I didn't know who Don Rickles was. You know,
Speaker 1: you might I know, if you're listening, you might know
Speaker 1: who's Don Rickles, the famous comedian for a millionaires. And
Speaker 1: he was a critic, right. His whole shtick was to
Speaker 1: rip people, right.
Speaker 3: Danny, Yeah, he talked a lot of shit. He was
Speaker 3: good at it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was his his misery. Guys. I I was
Speaker 1: a little fat kid and Don Rickles was in They
Speaker 1: had a little coat room at the front of this
Speaker 1: building where people obviously drop off your coats and hats
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, which is it was always odd
Speaker 1: to me why they had that in California because it
Speaker 1: doesn't get that cold. How often does that thing used?
Speaker 3: But whatever, So I'm a richard and famous ben don't
Speaker 3: ask questions.
Speaker 1: So I went in there and Don was getting uh,
Speaker 1: I don't know what he was getting, but but I
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't know what to say. I looked
Speaker 1: at him, and he he looked at me and he
Speaker 1: gave me this look, who's this fat kid? You know
Speaker 1: that kind of He gave me that kind of look,
Speaker 1: and then Heed he patted me on the head and
Speaker 1: then that was it. So my interaction with Don Rickles, uh,
Speaker 1: not very memorable, but for my parents it seemed like
Speaker 1: a big deal because he used to go on Johnny Carson,
Speaker 1: which was like the big show on you know, NBC
Speaker 1: at night and all that everyone was watching Johnny Carson.
Speaker 1: Have you had any similar encounters where a comedian patted
Speaker 1: you on the head, Danny that from Kevin or a
Speaker 1: similar encounter with a comedian.
Speaker 3: Nah, where I'm from in southern California as a little
Speaker 3: kid and then up to the Bay Area after that.
Speaker 3: The biggest celebrity we met was Ronald McDonald. Remember back
Speaker 3: when McDonald's would have those play days where the all
Speaker 3: the characters would be there at the restaurant.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'd been hanging out with Grimace and Hamburgler. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Man in the hood of rialto California. That was some excitement.
Speaker 3: My mom would bring us to the McDonald's to stand
Speaker 3: in line to get Ronald McDonald's autograph. And here's what
Speaker 3: Ronald McDonald did though this guy who was playing the character.
Speaker 3: We were tiny kids, so I thought it was really
Speaker 3: Ronald McDonald, but he was having a very bad day.
Speaker 3: He stepped on my older brother's foot with his big
Speaker 3: red clawd hopper, and my older brother's crying because Ronald
Speaker 3: McDonald stepped on him. And so my mom said to him, hey,
Speaker 3: you jerk, watch what you're doing. And he turned around
Speaker 3: and he tried to say something to my mom and
Speaker 3: she told him, if you say another word, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: slap that makeup off of your face.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so my mom almost kicked Ronald McDonald's ass.
Speaker 1: Who are being a story? But no social media back then?
Speaker 1: Right that way, on social media, that would be like
Speaker 1: a million dollar story.
Speaker 3: Be great, he could assume McDonald's.
Speaker 1: Oh, you would own like three franchises at least by
Speaker 1: this point, Mike in Fullerton writes, and he says, hello,
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny g. Before I say anything, I need
Speaker 1: to stand up and applaud you guys for landing the
Speaker 1: elusive Brian Billock. It couldn't have been easy to reel
Speaker 1: that legend in. Well done, Brian Billick, Brian Billock us.
Speaker 1: So now that the hunt for Billick's finally over. Who's
Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour's next dream catch? He says, Michael Jordan,
Speaker 1: Bernie Fratto, Mike Tyson, Brian Finley or who daddy? So, yeah,
Speaker 1: who's our guy? What are you gonna go? Baba booie?
Speaker 1: I don't know what's the stuttering John from the Old
Speaker 1: Stern Show. What are we looking at here? What's the
Speaker 1: go to guy? But you know the big one would
Speaker 1: be and he will not do it, and he's probably
Speaker 1: too old to do anything. Shatner Shatner. Yeah, we could
Speaker 1: get Shatner. That would be awesome. I'm in command. I
Speaker 1: could order this. Yeah, he belongs on a podcast.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: When you think podcast, you think Shatner. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I feel like he was born to be on a podcast,
Speaker 3: not just talking but also singing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, doesn't all He's the Man's an entertainer. The man
Speaker 1: is an absolute Tenay. You know, it would be good
Speaker 1: to get on. She won't do it either. Lauren Sanchez
Speaker 1: would be great to get on. She will There's no
Speaker 1: way she will do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she won't do it.
Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen. But I knew her when she
Speaker 1: was doing TV in la back back in the day.
Speaker 1: Mike also says, Ben, please spill the beans on the
Speaker 1: Boston trip. Well, I did. I spilled the beans already
Speaker 1: there on Friday, and you heard all about us, you
Speaker 1: know all about it. So but thank you Mike in
Speaker 1: quotes and Fred in spring Texas Rights and he says, hey,
Speaker 1: hey there, guys. At the top of each hour on
Speaker 1: the Overnight Show, Ben, you have a welcome in spiel
Speaker 1: that is pretty much the same, except when you are
Speaker 1: describing how powerful the FSR microphones are. You use a
Speaker 1: different adjective to describe the extent of those microphones each time.
Speaker 1: Where do you get those words? Do you use a
Speaker 1: book of descriptors or do you take them off the
Speaker 1: top of your head or does a staff member provide them? Well,
Speaker 1: great question, Fred, And as you know, Danny, there's a
Speaker 1: lot my staff does most of the show. I just
Speaker 1: kind of roll in there and that's it. Everything's written out,
Speaker 1: good to go.
Speaker 3: Yes, I've been part of those production meetings before, and
Speaker 3: man if I thought the herd was intense. It it's
Speaker 3: mind blowing that for your show, for your hours, probably
Speaker 3: the most resources that our company uses on one particular program.
Speaker 3: Stat Guy, your stat guy is nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, well that's you know, we inter numbers,
Speaker 1: got my social media guy. Very good, very good, good, yeah,
Speaker 1: very good. Listen, Fred, They're there. They're just words, you know.
Speaker 1: I try to change up. There's actually a few things
Speaker 1: at the top of the hour that's different, keep it fresh.
Speaker 1: A lot of it is the the same, and all
Speaker 1: that the vast I always go vast, and then at
Speaker 1: that point, after the word vast, I'll say like utopian
Speaker 1: ly or mighty or whatever. Powerful. Originally I was I
Speaker 1: always say mighty powerful as a tribute to my first
Speaker 1: radio first real radio station I worked at commercially the
Speaker 1: mighty six nineties, I'd say mighty powerful. But then I
Speaker 1: got bored with that, so I was like, I'll just
Speaker 1: throw some other random big names in there, or big words,
Speaker 1: and that's That's worked out pretty well. Yeah. Hillbilly Mike
Speaker 1: writes and says, Hey, Danny g congratulations on the new baby.
Speaker 1: I have a suggestion for you. You've got plenty of
Speaker 1: pictures of the baby day one, and my suggestion is
Speaker 1: each month, on the same day for the first year,
Speaker 1: you take a picture of your kid. It's amazing the
Speaker 1: changes your kid goes through from months to month and
Speaker 1: to dress them up and have a dedicated monthly pick
Speaker 1: to look back on, he says. Pretty cool. Another thing
Speaker 1: that hill Billy Mike says he did was that when
Speaker 1: he was old enough to hold the angel topper of
Speaker 1: our Christmas tree, my wife, he says, took a picture
Speaker 1: of me holding him while he put the angel on top.
Speaker 1: It of course progressed to him being on my shoulders
Speaker 1: every year until the last year he did it, he
Speaker 1: was eighteen, and I got on his shoulders and placed
Speaker 1: the angel on the tree. Pretty sweet. Mm hmm, that's
Speaker 1: kind of cool.
Speaker 3: That is really cool. I like those suggestions. Now. On
Speaker 3: yesterday's podcast, I talked about how coha G had his
Speaker 3: first blowout. It would be nice to document multiple blowouts,
Speaker 3: see how those progress.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you could hold up it, don't wash them
Speaker 1: and just hold them up and see, well, this one's bigger.
Speaker 1: See it's more, it's covered more real estate. If you know,
Speaker 1: you get a ven diagram out, you can break down
Speaker 1: the poopy is what you can break down.
Speaker 3: And should put that in a ziploc bag and put
Speaker 3: it in the memory box.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's that's the book right there. That's the
Speaker 1: memory book. Right there. That's the the baby book, Alf
Speaker 1: from the Jet Blue ticket counter at Logan Airport. Boy,
Speaker 1: that's a fun place to be the you know where
Speaker 1: you really need to go out If you you want
Speaker 1: to enjoy the smells of Logan Airport, go to American
Speaker 1: Airlines and the lost luggage area at American Airlines. When
Speaker 1: we were there in Boston a couple of weeks back, we
Speaker 1: were convinced there was a rotting corpse in one of
Speaker 1: the bags. It smelled that bad. My god. Anyway, Al says,
Speaker 1: as I alluded to on the Overnight Show this week,
Speaker 1: I was a bit shocked to hear your story last
Speaker 1: week about you offering to only drive halfway to meet
Speaker 1: your best friend. This after I had already booked airfare
Speaker 1: and the P one Deluxe Brian Finley package at the
Speaker 1: Malor Mansion through my travel agent, ferdcat Alf says, I
Speaker 1: was promised door to door deluxe Malar Mobile motor coach
Speaker 1: service to and from Lax and the Malor Mansion, and
Speaker 1: a week weekend which was to include the all night
Speaker 1: Stratamatic Tournament, a meet and greet with Bella, unlimited Mallard
Speaker 1: cookies and piping hot raising canes. Also included was to
Speaker 1: be a tour of skin Row with a photo op
Speaker 1: in from the Genie Bench. That's right, The Genie Bench
Speaker 1: is at the Swan Park, which is right near Dodger Stadium,
Speaker 1: right off the one oh one Freeway, which is the
Speaker 1: Hollywood Freeway. Yeah, and as well as alv says here
Speaker 1: meals at Fat sALS, Tito's Tacos and Langers Deli. Am
Speaker 1: I to assume that I've been fleeced by Ferdcat yet again?
Speaker 1: Say it ain't so, Benny Alf. That is a very
Speaker 1: detailed email, and you've actually made me feel bad about
Speaker 1: myself out because those are the three restaurants the pretty
Speaker 1: much the only three restaurants I eat at when I
Speaker 1: go out Fat sALS, Tito's, Tacos and Langers. Every once
Speaker 1: in a while I might go somewhere else, but generally speaking,
Speaker 1: when I have luncheons, and I've had a few of
Speaker 1: them since this TV thing came up, and I've had
Speaker 1: to meet with certain people about different elements of the show,
Speaker 1: and I've had these power lunches. So I have mostly
Speaker 1: met at Langers Deli right there and in beautiful kind
Speaker 1: of downtown adjacent ner MacArthur Park, Tito's if I'm on
Speaker 1: the west side, and Fat sALS if I'm in the
Speaker 1: Hollyway here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if it's a really big TV executive, you have
Speaker 3: to meet you at raising canes.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well that's because you get the caniac combo and
Speaker 1: they've got the company credit card, and that's the way
Speaker 1: to do it. The male bag question from George in Uvaldi,
Speaker 1: he is next, would you rather be stuck next to
Speaker 1: a gassy Keith Oberman or a bloated Lizzo cramped flight?
Speaker 1: So I actually Oberman's gone off the deep end with
Speaker 1: the politics and all that. So this is years ago.
Speaker 1: But he was doing a news show for was it
Speaker 1: MSNBC or CNBC, I don't know, probably MSNBC. He was
Speaker 1: doing a show and he was at a Dodger game
Speaker 1: and we sat next to each other at the Dodger game,
Speaker 1: but we just talked baseball and that was fine. But
Speaker 1: I don't remember him farting. So I'm going to Lizzo.
Speaker 1: I'm going bloated Lizzo on a cramped flight. I would not.
Speaker 1: I would rather sit next to Overman because I but
Speaker 1: if he is gas, he obviously that would be problematic.
Speaker 1: And what about you, Danny Lizzo bloated or overman farting.
Speaker 3: I would set the car seat next to them one
Speaker 3: of those silent fluffies of maya.
Speaker 1: You would punish them with baby g exactly.
Speaker 3: I would battle the bloating in the gas with some
Speaker 3: more gas.
Speaker 1: There's a bottom. I radyed to bring the gas. There
Speaker 1: you go, uh Nebraska. Nick writes it says for you
Speaker 1: and Danny G. What was your favorite class in high school?
Speaker 1: Who was your favorite teacher? What did they teach? Uh?
Speaker 1: The the best year of your Lifelet's see, I think
Speaker 1: we limit the questions to one. I think right, one
Speaker 1: or two, so we do a couple of these. Yeah,
Speaker 1: favorite class in high school. I loved speech class because
Speaker 1: we were just goof around pretty much. But it was
Speaker 1: supposed to teach us how to publicly speak and things
Speaker 1: like that, but it was mostly just goofing around. And
Speaker 1: there were a couple of teachers that I remember. Mister
Speaker 1: Carl was a was a very nice teacher that helped
Speaker 1: me out a lot. Miss Cleman. When I was an
Speaker 1: I think elementary school or junior high. I think it
Speaker 1: was elementary school. And then we also had mister Carl
Speaker 1: mus Cleman, and then there was a mister Laura that
Speaker 1: was a really cool teacher and he was actually the
Speaker 1: guy that taught kind of the speed debate type class.
Speaker 1: So those are people I recall fondly.
Speaker 3: What about you, Danny, Yeah, two teachers come to mind
Speaker 3: for me. ROP wood Shop mister Luhman. Not only did
Speaker 3: I make contraband baseball bats with the lathe, but I
Speaker 3: also built a rocking horse for my mom who had
Speaker 3: my little sister at the time, and it turned out
Speaker 3: really nice, really good wood shop teacher and then Electronics
Speaker 3: ROP mister Haskins ran the high school radio station ninety
Speaker 3: point nine fm kb dg K Bulldog. In my sophomore year,
Speaker 3: he let me run the station the microphone throttler.
Speaker 1: That is so cool that you had a radio station
Speaker 1: at your high school. That's awesome.
Speaker 3: It was really cool and it had a big stick.
Speaker 3: You could hear it across the next city, so it
Speaker 3: covered two cities.
Speaker 1: Well. Yeah, One of the reasons I went to Saddleback
Speaker 1: is because they had a campus radio station, which has
Speaker 1: been hijacked by cal State Northridge, by the way, so
Speaker 1: it's I don't think they have that set up anymore.
Speaker 1: But I loved it, and it was great in those
Speaker 1: days before internet broadcasting and things like that. But as
Speaker 1: far as the wood shop, the wood shop got the
Speaker 1: high school I went to, he had one of his
Speaker 1: fingers had been chopped off by one of the machines there,
Speaker 1: and he would hold it up like, listen, you don't
Speaker 1: listen to me. This is what's gonna happen. You know,
Speaker 1: you don't put me put in the fingers near the
Speaker 1: near the blades.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And also the famous kickback stories on the saws.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he'd scary on that. Yeah, exactly a gun,
Speaker 1: it's gonna kick back.
Speaker 3: How would you like to smoke that Bufferoo.
Speaker 1: Don't do it. Don't do it. Nick and Wisconsin rights
Speaker 1: into the mailback, says bended Danny G. I need to
Speaker 1: know which one of you you are more likely to eat.
Speaker 1: I wish one of you more like the potato chips
Speaker 1: and French onion with French onion dip or tortilla chips
Speaker 1: with salsa. So I am much more likely to go
Speaker 1: tortilla chips with salce. We live in southern California, Nick,
Speaker 1: which is essentially northern Mexico. Great Mexican food here. It's
Speaker 1: just wonderful, better Mexican food in La Danny than Mexico.
Speaker 1: It's actually better here than it is in Mexico. So
Speaker 1: tortilla chips and salce of the way to go. I
Speaker 1: have nothing against potato chips and French onion dip. I
Speaker 1: am not anti French onion dip. I'm okay with it.
Speaker 1: Not my favorite, but I'm okay with it. You know
Speaker 1: what I like is that French onion soup I like
Speaker 1: with the cheese on top. I'm a fan of that.
Speaker 1: That's good. What about you, Danny?
Speaker 3: Yeah, the French onion dip. That reminds me of a
Speaker 3: nice spread at a Super Bowl party. Really, when else
Speaker 3: do you see that dip out on a table?
Speaker 1: No, you don't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not that common unless it's at a family barbecue
Speaker 3: or something like that. But yeah, you gotta go salsa.
Speaker 3: But the one difference for me, I can't have raw
Speaker 3: tomatoes because of the folic acid that's in them, So
Speaker 3: I have to have the red blended salsa where you
Speaker 3: don't see any of the tomato or the seeds. Oh okay, Yeah,
Speaker 3: there's some good Mexican restaurants where they have the roasted
Speaker 3: red salsa and I love that little taste.
Speaker 1: All right. Next up, I'll do a couple more get
Speaker 1: out of here Jeff from Columbus Rights, and he says,
Speaker 1: what are your favorite TV comedy shows for the last
Speaker 1: decade or so? So this is actually easy for me, Jeff,
Speaker 1: I do not watch a lot of comedy stuff. I
Speaker 1: don't watch a lot of TV except when it's Benny
Speaker 1: Versus the Penny. But no, but my favorite comedy show
Speaker 1: is Curby Your Enthusiasm on HBO, and I think they've
Speaker 1: only got one season left and then that show is
Speaker 1: going away. But love it, Love the comedy on that.
Speaker 1: I can't get enough of it. I'm all about Larry David, Kirby,
Speaker 1: Your Enthusiasm, Danny. Any comedy shows the last decade that
Speaker 1: you're all about.
Speaker 3: Yeah. On Hulu there's a great comedy called This Fool.
Speaker 3: If you don't know about that show, check it out.
Speaker 3: I'm with you. I also am a Curb fan, and
Speaker 3: I don't know if you've ever seen this On Netflix
Speaker 3: they carry all six seasons right now. The Ranch with
Speaker 3: Ashton Kutcher and what's the dude's name? You know, the
Speaker 3: old guy with a mustache, Sam Elliott.
Speaker 1: Okay, I've not seen the ranch.
Speaker 3: It's a funny like, oh you would like you would
Speaker 3: love it because it's unfiltered. They they drop f bombs
Speaker 3: on the.
Speaker 1: Sitcom blank my blank and blank you Oh good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so. It's a really good cast and a
Speaker 3: really good script. The problem is that Masterson guy was
Speaker 3: one of the main characters, and he was part of
Speaker 3: that me too movement and he got got and he's
Speaker 3: been in court with women, you know, so saying he
Speaker 3: did bad things. He got written off the show. His
Speaker 3: character died and the show died.
Speaker 1: Is it Danny Masterson? Is that the good? Yes? Yeah, yep.
Speaker 1: Did he get convicted?
Speaker 3: You recently did?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Let me see here, look this up right now.
Speaker 1: There's well, sorry, a few days ago since a little
Speaker 1: old says. A judge rejected a defense bid Monday to
Speaker 1: delay next month's sentencing for Danny Masterson. Yeah, he's facing
Speaker 1: a maximum sentence of thirty years to life in state prison.
Speaker 3: Wow. I think, if I'm not mistaken, I think he
Speaker 3: was a scientologist and there was something going on in
Speaker 3: his younger years where he drew girls in and yeah,
Speaker 3: and had some oh man claims against him, and he
Speaker 3: got yanked off that show and they had to kill
Speaker 3: him off the show, and then the show just kind
Speaker 3: of fell apart after that. But if you want to
Speaker 3: start a new show with your WiFi, go to Netflix
Speaker 3: the Ranch and start it from episode one. Really really
Speaker 3: good comedy. We were surprised because we're like, how did
Speaker 3: we not know about this? I think it started in
Speaker 3: like twenty sixteen or twenty seventeen. It's, you know, just
Speaker 3: a few years old. But it's something that I missed
Speaker 3: when it was during COVID or whatever, when a lot
Speaker 3: of people were binging it gotcha.
Speaker 1: It says according to this it's an old it's an
Speaker 1: old story. It's about two weeks old, but it said
Speaker 1: September seventh is the sentencing date, and they wanted to
Speaker 1: get it pushed back. So and this guy's around our
Speaker 1: age daty.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well you remember he's famous from that seventies.
Speaker 1: Show eeah yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it looks like he's going to be doing
Speaker 3: a lot of time behind bars.
Speaker 1: Well, if you do the crime, you gotta do the time.
Speaker 1: I didn't see a second of that, so I don't
Speaker 1: know what the evidence was and all that but he
Speaker 1: was convicted, so you know you fired Big Lou. He's
Speaker 1: on number two. I love that. I love that commercial,
Speaker 1: so we gotta get that as a drop anyway, He says,
Speaker 1: you always talk glowingly about the past Fox Sports Radio
Speaker 1: baseball games. When will the company hold a boxing or
Speaker 1: mma match between the host and staff of the network
Speaker 1: pound for pound? Who is the toughest employee at the network.
Speaker 1: That's from Big Lou in the LBC. What can he
Speaker 1: do for you? Auh so, Big Lou, I mean you
Speaker 1: always start out with the ex jocks that work and
Speaker 1: uh so, I think Rich Davis. That's why I'm going
Speaker 1: he does play rec league softball. Yeah, yeah, weekend softball.
Speaker 3: That's the no.
Speaker 1: You gotta go LeVar Arrington, right, LeVar. I love LaVar
Speaker 1: has been out of the NFL for a long time.
Speaker 1: But you say a tough linebacker in the NFL. He's
Speaker 1: got skinny legs now, Yeah. Brady Quinn No, because he
Speaker 1: was a quarterback. Yeah, Gottlieb played college basketball.
Speaker 3: Quinn would be intercepted on his way to the match.
Speaker 1: That's a cheap shot. That is a low blow.
Speaker 3: I love you.
Speaker 1: Quinn definitely not be Jason Smith we we like Jason,
Speaker 1: but definitely not him.
Speaker 3: Mike Harmon seems like he might bite your ankle.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Harmon would punch you in the balls if he
Speaker 1: had to play dirty. It's a whole Chicago thing, you know.
Speaker 1: That's how that's who he got.
Speaker 3: Yea, he learned from Mike North.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't like Jonas because he you know, he
Speaker 1: wouldn't you know, he'd have to clean everything and there'd
Speaker 1: be a hole to do. You know, he's got.
Speaker 3: Jonas is intimidating though he could just scare you with
Speaker 3: his barbed wire tattoo.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm still amazed. I don't know if I
Speaker 1: talk about the podcast. I told Jonas this so bonus
Speaker 1: on the company Dime flew to Ireland to broadcast from
Speaker 1: the Notre Dame Navy game in Ireland. Yeah, so the
Speaker 1: day before he flies to Ireland, I see him and
Speaker 1: I talked to him every day. Hey, what's going on, Jonas,
Speaker 1: how's everything go? Does any even mention that he's going
Speaker 1: to Ireland? Like later that day? You know, he's so secretive.
Speaker 3: It's another day in the life of a radio superstar.
Speaker 1: But it's I don't know, it's odymous so I guess
Speaker 1: I have to not Now I'm starting to not talk
Speaker 1: as much. I got my TV thing I couldn't mention,
Speaker 1: so I didn't really tell anybody. But most of the time,
Speaker 1: you know, Danny, the saying that loose lips sank chips,
Speaker 1: but in radio stations, loose lips keep stations together. Otherwise,
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, gotta keep it. Yeah. So anyway,
Speaker 1: as far as and it wasn't Fox Radio Baseball games,
Speaker 1: Big Lou, it was the Dodger media game that we used.
Speaker 1: I played in for years, many many years ago, and
Speaker 1: it was the sports writers against the radio and TV
Speaker 1: broadcasters and it was wonderful. I have such great members.
Speaker 1: We took over Dodger Stadium. We played at like one
Speaker 1: o'clock in the afternoon. The Dodger game would be at
Speaker 1: seven o'clock. We would play right up until about three
Speaker 1: o'clock or you know, three point thirty, and then Dodgers
Speaker 1: would have batting practice. And we had the at Dodger
Speaker 1: Stadium before they renovated it, the locker room. We had
Speaker 1: our own clubhouse at Dodger Stadium for this media game,
Speaker 1: and it was the old Angels clubhouse, Danny where when
Speaker 1: the Angels played at Anaheim Stadium for a couple of years.
Speaker 1: They had their own clubhouse, which was off if you
Speaker 1: walked into the tunnel up to the Dodgers clubhouse, which
Speaker 1: was on the left. If you turned right and walked
Speaker 1: down a hall was the old Angels clubhouse. And I'm
Speaker 1: trying to what years did the Angels play at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember. I don't know, but I wonder
Speaker 1: if Nolan Ryan was in there. I don't know. Anyway,
Speaker 1: that was the story. All right, we'll get out on that, Danny.
Speaker 1: It is Sunday. It's a holiday weekend, happy Labor Day weekend.
Speaker 1: I will be laboring away. One thing about this TV show, Danny,
Speaker 1: I can't really take any extended time off until February
Speaker 1: because the show all the way till the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: So I'm pretty much locked in here. That's one of
Speaker 1: the reasons I took some time off earlier in the year.
Speaker 1: So I'm not going to take any I might take
Speaker 1: a couple of days, a couple of days, but we're
Speaker 1: gonna have to do a show on Thanksgiving, and you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know when Christmas is, but the big holidays
Speaker 1: whenever the holidays are. It doesn't matter. If there's a
Speaker 1: show to do, the show must be done.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean it's a good thing that you
Speaker 3: were able to suck in some of that clean Minnesota
Speaker 3: air when you had the opportunity and you got to
Speaker 3: travel a little bit back east to see your family.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was good for sure.
Speaker 3: No play for you man, all all radio and TV.
Speaker 3: You sold your soul.
Speaker 1: Yes, I did, I have, now we will have I'm
Speaker 1: doing I did the math on this, so I do
Speaker 1: five radio shows a week with you, I do three
Speaker 1: podcasts a week, and now I'll have a TV thing.
Speaker 1: So that's you don't have enough to do? Pretty much?

Speaker 1: very concerned because I want to have, like, I don't
Speaker 1: want to have the lowest ratings in the history of NBC.
Speaker 1: It's why I have at least a few people watching
Speaker 1: the show. That's all I need. A few people watching
