Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of
Speaker 1: the Old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house of hot takes,
Speaker 1: break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben

Speaker 1: hear the music, won't stop. I can't stop it, Danny Jake,
Speaker 1: all right, there it is, finally it's over all right.
Speaker 1: First email from Chris in Marra, Cocona, Iowa. He says uh,
Speaker 1: he says that. He says, now that your radio show
Speaker 1: is doing well and you have record podcast numbers as well,
Speaker 1: is it time to ask Fox to give back that
Speaker 1: salary cut they gave you during the pandemic. Uh, tell
Speaker 1: them pats on the back, don't pay the rent, he says,
Speaker 1: and go Raiders. Yeah that's from Chris. Uh sure, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure. I'm sure management Danny is the checks in
Speaker 1: the mail, right. I think that for both of us,
Speaker 1: they'll take care of us. Yes, yeah, you're like Jim
Speaker 1: Harbaugh and you am. They're gonna give you that money back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just you know, I just ask. I'll send him
Speaker 1: a text or something like that. Yeah, my man, I
Speaker 1: got your cover, mom May and nothing to worry about,
Speaker 1: all right. Next up is from Blake in Arkansas. He says, Ben,
Speaker 1: did you ask or push for you and the crew
Speaker 1: to do the show, the radio show from Radio Row?
Speaker 1: Don't tell me. No one is going. Every other show
Speaker 1: I listened to is going. So if you guys are not,
Speaker 1: you either have zero balls, Blake and Arkansas says, or
Speaker 1: if asked and told no, then you have zero respect
Speaker 1: with management. Which is it? That is from Blake? Well,
Speaker 1: we depending on how things went, and you know, it's
Speaker 1: up to your interpretation. Uh, we either had a very
Speaker 1: successful trip to Radio Row on Friday or we did not.
Speaker 1: And you'll have to wait till next weekend to find out.
Speaker 1: But I did have conversations. I don't get into all
Speaker 1: of it now because we'll probably talk about it next
Speaker 1: weekend on the podcast Behind the Scenes how we make
Speaker 1: the hot dogs, and most people don't care about how
Speaker 1: we make the hot dogs, But there were conversations that
Speaker 1: took place. There were debating whether or not to do
Speaker 1: the terrestrial radio show, and I'll get more into it
Speaker 1: at a later day. Wide decisions were made. Who made
Speaker 1: those decisions, and that will be that. So generally speaking, Ben,
Speaker 1: what some people don't realize is it's not like Radio
Speaker 1: Row is open twenty four hours, like you got to
Speaker 1: be there when the guests or potential guests are there.
Speaker 1: So normally it's the midday show through the beginning of
Speaker 1: a night show. Possibly well, I mean there it's possible
Speaker 1: to do it. I mean JT back in the day
Speaker 1: used to do his show and he was doing the overnight.
Speaker 1: So I guess if if you found a sponsor and
Speaker 1: you could broadcast from somewhere nearby the Super Bowl, right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And there are there are working Resibent Plus listen. We're
Speaker 1: in California, and I know there are a number of
Speaker 1: East Coast morning shows, a few of them anyway, that
Speaker 1: are doing the show from Los Angeles, and so they're
Speaker 1: starting at three in the morning, is the middle of
Speaker 1: the night in California, and they are They're doing their show,
Speaker 1: and they're all excited about it and all that and
Speaker 1: doing the show and going out golfing and having a
Speaker 1: great time and all that and so, and we'll get
Speaker 1: more into that, and I'll have a look back at
Speaker 1: everything that took place. That'll be coming up most likely
Speaker 1: next weekend on the Saturday. And I was told I
Speaker 1: went on the radio with a buddy of mine, a
Speaker 1: couple of friends of mine, to do radio in Florida,
Speaker 1: and they pointed out, I didn't realize this. The next
Speaker 1: two super Bowls are all Western super Bowls, Phoenix and Vegas, Glendale,
Speaker 1: Arizona and then onto Vegas. Baby. So I'm thinking, Danny,
Speaker 1: depending on how this whole radio role appearance goes, I think,
Speaker 1: how about a road trip Benny and Danny g go
Speaker 1: across the you know, California Arizona border for a quick
Speaker 1: visit next year, and then Vegas is even closer than
Speaker 1: Phoenix or Glenna. Ill I think we might be onto something,
Speaker 1: your dame. Yeah, I'm down and I thought it went well,
Speaker 1: but we'll expand next weekend. We'll tell you exactly how
Speaker 1: it went on Radio Row this past Friday afternoon. All right,
Speaker 1: the next question on the mailback Christie listening. Christie is
Speaker 1: in Salt Lake City, and she says, Ben, what is
Speaker 1: your beverage of choice and your favorite snacks on the
Speaker 1: big day? That's says go rams from Christie. So so
Speaker 1: the problem is, Christie, I have to do a radio
Speaker 1: show a few hours after the game ends. The game
Speaker 1: will end approximately what you think, ten thirty eleven o'clock
Speaker 1: on the East coast, seven thirty eight o'clock on the
Speaker 1: West coast, and then I've got to be on a
Speaker 1: few hours after that, so I can't get completely snockered
Speaker 1: like I might if I didn't have to do that.
Speaker 1: So I will probably be very boring and drink like
Speaker 1: I might go hard and drink lemonade. Uh. And then
Speaker 1: as far as food is concerned, my wife will be working,
Speaker 1: so I'll be on my own on that, so I
Speaker 1: might I might make a pizza. That's usually what I
Speaker 1: do for a big game, like the Mallard pizza, a
Speaker 1: lot of snacks. Uh, depending on either way, either he
Speaker 1: goes well the Rams win, so I have celebratory snacks
Speaker 1: or the Rams don't do well, and then I have uh,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of feel good snacks to to cheer
Speaker 1: me up a little bit pasta like comfort food. Well, no,
Speaker 1: I got like you know, we have like a little
Speaker 1: part of the kitchen that has all the the snacks,
Speaker 1: like the chocolate almonds. There's these Macadaemian nut cluster things
Speaker 1: that are pretty good. Uh, there's like a whole mix
Speaker 1: of other random candy. So but I'm still only gonna
Speaker 1: I'm only gonna do it for a few hours during
Speaker 1: the game, and then I'm gonna go back too fasting.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna it's Super Bowl son rare and appropriate,
Speaker 1: Danny and Christie, right, super Bowl Sunday, rare and appropriate.
Speaker 1: So I'll enjoy for a few hours, I'll live my
Speaker 1: old life again, and then I will go back and
Speaker 1: uh and not eat for like three days to try
Speaker 1: to make up for it. That's the plan, she says,
Speaker 1: Go Rams. Absolutely, We've been saying it for years. It
Speaker 1: should be a national holiday the day after the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: There's always that and they're like, let's just move to
Speaker 1: Saturday and then you don't have to take the holiday
Speaker 1: or whatever. Right, uh, Tammy, And Montana writes and says, guys,
Speaker 1: always a great podcast with her David or Danny mixed
Speaker 1: in with Ben as she says, so she's a she's
Speaker 1: a fan of whoever he's on the podcast. Well, were
Speaker 1: the good thing with Danny here is that we've not
Speaker 1: had as many fisticuffs like before, you know, every every
Speaker 1: UH show was fighting, but we have not had to
Speaker 1: do that come back. It's yes, right, Tammy? Right? Since
Speaker 1: she says, to get those five star reviews, how about
Speaker 1: the chance to name the future Danny Gee's baby. She says,
Speaker 1: great advice from Danny for Ozzy Momentum about a goal
Speaker 1: for family fund so the whole family can enjoy something expensive.
Speaker 1: Also an allowance each week at least for the kid,
Speaker 1: and then they can save for something more expensive to
Speaker 1: spend each week. Yeah, you want to try to avoid
Speaker 1: the rotten spoiled child syndrome as much as possible. You
Speaker 1: just don't need that. You don't want that because then
Speaker 1: the kid turns out to be an asshole. And we
Speaker 1: can say that on the podcast, and you just you
Speaker 1: just want to avoid. It's common for kids to not
Speaker 1: understand the value of money and how much hard work
Speaker 1: it takes to get said money, And so you got
Speaker 1: to teach them that it doesn't come easy. You know,
Speaker 1: when they have to spend their own bucks on something,
Speaker 1: they really think long and hard about how they spend
Speaker 1: their their little money that they have saved up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because you grow up in this bubble and you're like, well,
Speaker 1: I don't what is money? You know, it's just whatever
Speaker 1: I need it my parents will give to me, and
Speaker 1: all that I think I grew up like. Tammy says, uh, yeah, Ben,
Speaker 1: When when are you singing for Bentley? She says, when
Speaker 1: are you singing for Bentley? We all want to hear
Speaker 1: that rendition? Uh, Tammy, you wait for that. I'll be
Speaker 1: in the sixth Hour podcast. You can hear that in
Speaker 1: the sixth Hour. Murray in Saskatoon. I'm glad Murray's still listening.
Speaker 1: Can you pick out Saskatoon on a map? Danny, Absolutely not, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: But it's a fun it's a fun place to say Saskatoon.
Speaker 1: That's a fun name for a city. I like fun words.
Speaker 1: Horn Swoggle is cool, But Saskatoon. It's got a nice
Speaker 1: ring to it in Saskatoon, all right, Murray says, what
Speaker 1: do you and the guys on the overnight show, Dude,
Speaker 1: during the commercial breaks usually, do you talk about things
Speaker 1: that you can't discuss on the radio? Are you silent
Speaker 1: as to save your voice? Discuss how to attack the
Speaker 1: next segment, etcetera, etcetera. That's from Murray in Saskatoon. Murray,
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of conversation that goes on. I
Speaker 1: normally I talk a lot, and during the breaks, I
Speaker 1: try to shut up as much as I can. But
Speaker 1: we do gossip. I mean we everywhere at any job
Speaker 1: I've ever worked at. I worked at radio most of
Speaker 1: my life. But we we all gossip about other people
Speaker 1: at work and what's going on in the business. Right.
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say, Danny, that's just the
Speaker 1: natural natural thing if you hear something, And since we've
Speaker 1: all kind of been spread out in different places, that's
Speaker 1: a that's a chance but to kind of learn stuff
Speaker 1: that we didn't know. Yeah, and it depends on what
Speaker 1: happened with the segment that just ended. Sometimes we're still
Speaker 1: laughing about what happened at the end of a segment. Uh.
Speaker 1: Usually though, we have our head down at first, because
Speaker 1: we have some things we gotta do, like save the
Speaker 1: segment into the computer system and get sound or something
Speaker 1: ready for the next segment. Once that's done, and say
Speaker 1: Roberto has his new is it picked out for the rejoin?
Speaker 1: Then yeah, you're right. We'll listen to a promo from
Speaker 1: another show and maybe react to that and give our
Speaker 1: own spin on what we heard, and only in a
Speaker 1: positive way. We would never react in a negative way
Speaker 1: because that would be born, That would be inappropriate. We
Speaker 1: never said, boy, that guy's a knucklehead. I can't believe
Speaker 1: he said that. We never do that because that would
Speaker 1: be inappropriate. Murdh, that would be absolutely wrong. So I
Speaker 1: hope that answers your question. Next up, we have Ausi momentum,
Speaker 1: the aforementioned Ozzy momentum. He says, do either of you
Speaker 1: own an umbrella? And if so, how do you use
Speaker 1: it and not look like a complete pansy? He says,
Speaker 1: what would you do to use one like a boss? Well,
Speaker 1: this is really your question, Danny. I have certainly lean
Speaker 1: more to a pansy than you. Than you, Danny, you
Speaker 1: just reek of masculinity. You ah, you know tough Danny
Speaker 1: G Radio. So how does Danny G Radio a radio
Speaker 1: a raider fan and a radio man? And how does
Speaker 1: one carry an umbrella and not look like gay Woods?
Speaker 1: Very simple. I do not carry an umbrella. Instead, I
Speaker 1: have the water protected spray on my Jordan's and I
Speaker 1: try to wear the slick material that the water will
Speaker 1: slide off of. I have a radar pull over that
Speaker 1: is like that vinyl material. The last time we had
Speaker 1: a big rainstorm here where I live, I had to
Speaker 1: go to my day job and I wore that my
Speaker 1: shoes were protected with that spray and I stood there
Speaker 1: in this torrential downpour. Ben I was helping in the
Speaker 1: morning routine there at the school, and I was the
Speaker 1: only one without an umbrella. He's right. The ladies that
Speaker 1: were walking around at the school, they looked like Mary Poppins.
Speaker 1: The wind was making them blow away with their umbrella.
Speaker 1: The dudes look like dorks trying to open and keep
Speaker 1: opening the umbrella. It's just not even worth it. So
Speaker 1: I would rather stand in the rain and take it
Speaker 1: like a man. Yeah, I've lost many an umbrella. It's
Speaker 1: so embarrassing. You're walking down the street and there's a
Speaker 1: big gusta waited play. Yeah, what kind of like if
Speaker 1: you see a guy drinking an alcoholic beverage through a straw.
Speaker 1: It's awkward, It's it's awkward. One more from Ozzy Momentum.
Speaker 1: He says, ps Ben, just how horrified were you when
Speaker 1: you heard the drop of you saying? But all those
Speaker 1: blank look the same. He's talking about Joe and Phil
Speaker 1: Niekro That's what he's talking about there. We all know
Speaker 1: that it wasn't racist, and it's damn unfortunate that you
Speaker 1: can't play it anymore. But is that the worst thing
Speaker 1: that came back to bite you? I'm devastated. Osim Windham
Speaker 1: said that the drop of you saying I love the
Speaker 1: blank one one thousand two, one thousand three, Taliban. I'm
Speaker 1: see I know what he's trying to do here, Dan,
Speaker 1: He's trying to get me to repeat this. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: says it wasn't a better quality. He says, uh, you're
Speaker 1: not allowed to play the necro drop anymore. No, we're not,
Speaker 1: because what happened was people, as you know Danny from
Speaker 1: working in radio, do not listen to everything that we say,
Speaker 1: and they hear these things out of context, and they
Speaker 1: thought I was saying something that was definitely not Nekrou
Speaker 1: the Joe and Phil it was, it was something else,
Speaker 1: and yeah, I we would get I get email, angry emails,
Speaker 1: calls from people and they'd all be like, I, I've
Speaker 1: listened to you for fifteen years. I can't believe you
Speaker 1: would say such a thing on the radio. And I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: I know I didn't actually say that. You you heard
Speaker 1: something that I didn't say, But it's hard to explain
Speaker 1: that to them because it sounds similar. And it's really
Speaker 1: it was a case where we out of an abundance
Speaker 1: of not wanting to deal with the people, contacting management
Speaker 1: is then management, as you know, is like what are
Speaker 1: you doing? What is this all about? And so it
Speaker 1: was just a case, yeah we could you're just being
Speaker 1: proactive to a complaint. Yeah, but it is. It's pretty, uh,
Speaker 1: pretty wild how many people emailed me and called the
Speaker 1: show or contacted management and said, hey, this is I'm
Speaker 1: offended by. Can I use that drop on the podcast? Uh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I have a podcast. Like in the middle
Speaker 1: of the podcast, you could prob all right, I'll be
Speaker 1: dropping in. I guess I guess I'll have to find
Speaker 1: out if it's still in the computer system. Yeah, well, knowing,
Speaker 1: knowing the way we work, it will be in there
Speaker 1: and you will be dead and we'll still be in there.
Speaker 1: All right, what is next year? I didn't want to
Speaker 1: mention now she did. Angelina did not want me to
Speaker 1: mention her name on the podcast. She sent a nice email,
Speaker 1: and I'm apologizing. I just wanted to give her It's
Speaker 1: not really a shout out, because we don't do shoutouts,
Speaker 1: but she said a very nice email. She's a big
Speaker 1: fan of the show on the podcast, and she loves
Speaker 1: Danny Ge and she loves you and me and everybody.
Speaker 1: And I'm so I'm gonna honor her wishes. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna read her message on the on the podcast, but
Speaker 1: I didn't want to say that I got it, Angeline.
Speaker 1: I think I wrote back. I hope I did. Angelina
Speaker 1: Angelina Angelina, and she lives on the Wisconsin Minnesota border
Speaker 1: and she's a big fan and one of our k
Speaker 1: fan listeners in the Twin Cities. And I think I
Speaker 1: wrote back and told her I have to get to Wisconsin,
Speaker 1: and I think I'm gonna probably get there sometime in
Speaker 1: early May. I think to try to visit my brother,
Speaker 1: I have to take some time off. I you know
Speaker 1: how I hate taking time off, but I've got to
Speaker 1: take like eight days off to go to this freaking
Speaker 1: wedding that we're they're going to. So but I don't
Speaker 1: feel bad about it, Danny, because I got screwed out
Speaker 1: of my vacation because I had COVID the entire time
Speaker 1: I was away on my year end hiatus. So I'm like, yea,
Speaker 1: I what the hell? Yeah, You're right, you were the Transformer.
Speaker 1: Oh my crown, Jennifer, how about it? We have a
Speaker 1: lot of women, is it you, Danny that the even
Speaker 1: a listener? Here's those those pipes of yours, Jennifer and
Speaker 1: Richmond Virginia says Been, and Danny, g I first want
Speaker 1: to say, arrest in peace, beer drinking Brian absolutely, prayers
Speaker 1: of comfort for his family and friends and for Sandy
Speaker 1: a k a half pint, and she says Been. This
Speaker 1: super Bowl here falls on his special days, my youngest
Speaker 1: kid's birthday. And so Gabe, he's nineteen, you know, as
Speaker 1: you know, Jennifer, and I'm I hopefully gave her he
Speaker 1: probably he's a like still a punk teenager. So Gabe
Speaker 1: probably don't care, but we don't do shoutouts game. And
Speaker 1: I know, Jennifer, you're probably hoping we would do a
Speaker 1: shout out the game, but this is not a a
Speaker 1: morning show, so we cannot, absolutely cannot do that. Shut
Speaker 1: the funk up, Okay, shut the fuck rop. But that's
Speaker 1: a great age, she says. She has three awesome kids.
Speaker 1: Are ages are nineteen twenty? How about that, man, Jennifer, Bam, bam, bam,
Speaker 1: back to back to back to back, hold ones in
Speaker 1: a row, get it all out, boom. That's what it is.
Speaker 1: I get get it done in three years and you
Speaker 1: move on. Uh, she says, I don't feel much older
Speaker 1: than them. As she says, the math does work. My
Speaker 1: question for both of you is what's one of your
Speaker 1: best birthday memories? Uh? So, I've I've had some some
Speaker 1: good Obviously everyone's had great birthdays. But I I fondly
Speaker 1: remember time with my mom when I was a kid
Speaker 1: and just like spoiling me with food, being a fat kid,
Speaker 1: that meant a lot birthday cake and you know, just
Speaker 1: making you feel like you were the most important person
Speaker 1: in the world, and how great moms are and all
Speaker 1: that so I have fond memories of that, and I've
Speaker 1: had I've worked a lot on my birthday, usually work
Speaker 1: during my radio career, so I've I've been on and
Speaker 1: the listeners have been very kind. And there was a
Speaker 1: stretch and were you I think you were part of
Speaker 1: the show. Remember the birthday the cake thing? Of course,
Speaker 1: that was insane, dude, I have pictures from I don't know.
Speaker 1: It must have been a three year span where any
Speaker 1: birthday or anniversary or anything special. Tammy and Montana really
Speaker 1: hooked us up with cakes. And we're not just cakes.
Speaker 1: These were pieces of art. Oh yeah, this was an
Speaker 1: artisan that made these cakes unbelievable. These are these are
Speaker 1: multiple hundred dollar cakes. Yeah, like if it was Banning's birthday,
Speaker 1: then there would be the Clipper Condor. Yeah, ridiculous, Chuck
Speaker 1: the Condor. It was like cake Wars. He was made
Speaker 1: to look exactly like the real Chuck the Condor on
Speaker 1: top of your cake. It was so good, it was awesome.
Speaker 1: I have pictures still from all those birthdays, so those
Speaker 1: are really good memories. And then Ben, I would say
Speaker 1: two birthdays ago for me, it was still somewhat fresh
Speaker 1: with my tender RONI I was meeting her fan lean
Speaker 1: some of her family for the first time. I want
Speaker 1: to say, maybe one day before Christmas, something came up
Speaker 1: about my birthday. One of her family members asked me
Speaker 1: about my birthday and I was like, oh, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: in a couple of days. And my Tendernie laughed. She
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, right, and I'm like, no, I'm serious,
Speaker 1: my birthday is in a couple of days. She forgot
Speaker 1: because we only talked about it when we first met,
Speaker 1: and she didn't make a note or market on her
Speaker 1: calendar or anything. And we're guys been so we don't
Speaker 1: have a birthday week or a birthday month, right, we
Speaker 1: don't promote our birthdays. So she didn't know. Her family
Speaker 1: looked at her, like, you don't know when his birthday is.
Speaker 1: We got a good laugh about it because she had
Speaker 1: to like really scramble and get something together. I thought
Speaker 1: she was just being low key, which I didn't mind.
Speaker 1: I didn't want a big deal about it now, Like
Speaker 1: when my birthday came up in December, I told her,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you're gonna forget again. Um. So that was
Speaker 1: a very good first birthday with her. She had no
Speaker 1: idea it's nice. I like it. Uh yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: weird what you remember because when you're a kid. When
Speaker 1: I was a kid, Danny, I was like, I remember
Speaker 1: the presents. But as I've gotten older, I've forgotten about
Speaker 1: the presidents, and I've remembered like the time, and obviously
Speaker 1: i still remember the food. It all over me. And
Speaker 1: I've had some wonderful birthday trips while my wife we've
Speaker 1: gone and done some really cool things as a married
Speaker 1: man here and I've found memories of that. Valls fan
Speaker 1: Jimmy from Fayetteville, Tennessee. Right, since there's no question but
Speaker 1: a request, since Danny g wasn't there, will you tell
Speaker 1: him about your stroll in the park when the panic
Speaker 1: attack happened. Well, it wasn't a panic attack. I had
Speaker 1: the ships with no hose and I'm not telling that
Speaker 1: story again, Jimmy. There's a podcast which I'm sure is
Speaker 1: still up, and if you want to hear me on
Speaker 1: my worst day when I was walking early on in
Speaker 1: the COVID and I thought I could make it home
Speaker 1: and I didn't, and my gall bladder attacked and it
Speaker 1: was it was it act. It was a crime scene
Speaker 1: at the bathroom park near my house. I feel so
Speaker 1: terrible to whoever had to clean that up. My god,
Speaker 1: what a what a horrible thing that to leave behind.
Speaker 1: And I did try to clean it up, but it
Speaker 1: was so far gone, Danny that there was it was.
Speaker 1: It was a lost cause, it was a it was
Speaker 1: a recogniances mission, it was a recovery mission. There was
Speaker 1: nothing to be saved. H Yeah, somehow I feel like
Speaker 1: I've heard this whole explosive story and you shouldn't tell
Speaker 1: it around kids. What about a nine year old girl?
Speaker 1: They kept saying that anytime McDaniels used the word explosive
Speaker 1: for the offense, Mark Davis was smiling. Explosive was also
Speaker 1: the right word to describe that story, you know, definitely,
Speaker 1: I got mail, yea, I got mail. Yeah, Kevin in
Speaker 1: Kansas right since its dear Ben. I enjoyed last week
Speaker 1: the clips of Danny g from his earlier days in radio.
Speaker 1: Do you have any clips of you from the earlier
Speaker 1: days of Ben Haler? Thanks for all you guys. There
Speaker 1: you go, Kevin, Well, yeah, I have, And I've actually
Speaker 1: gone through the garage and I have boxes of cassette
Speaker 1: tapes and old technology. I don't know what to do
Speaker 1: with this, Danny, I have you digitized any of it? No,
Speaker 1: I have not. I don't know that. The stuff I
Speaker 1: have on the carts, which is the old technology, I
Speaker 1: would like to get my hands on that because I
Speaker 1: had a professional radio jingle when I did a midday
Speaker 1: show in l A. They had it done and I
Speaker 1: use from the jingle place out of doubt, but it's
Speaker 1: only on a cart machine. I don't I don't know
Speaker 1: how to transfer. I have the same thing and they
Speaker 1: have what they called donuts. So the station had a
Speaker 1: jingle and in the middle of the jingle was a donut,
Speaker 1: and during that donut you played your cart which was
Speaker 1: a jingle of your name. Yeah, it's really cool jingles.
Speaker 1: We love I love goals. If anybody knows how to
Speaker 1: get that any reasonable price off a cart machine onto
Speaker 1: a digital format, that would be tremendous. And as far
Speaker 1: as the old air checks man, that's where you could
Speaker 1: do it yourself, because I found online a cassette, a
Speaker 1: little cassette deck that hooks into your laptop and then
Speaker 1: it turns your cassette into digital wave files. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: so I should transfer some of that stuff. Boy, But
Speaker 1: there there is an archive I started at Fox Sports
Speaker 1: Radio when I was young enough. Whereas you know Danny
Speaker 1: from some of those drops my like my voice changed
Speaker 1: and the famous one with the updates, when it was
Speaker 1: Royals are having their problems on the road, and I
Speaker 1: was having my problems. I'm gonna I'm gonna find that
Speaker 1: so I could insert that right here, Royals having their
Speaker 1: problems on the road. I'm ben Mala, Kansas City fighting
Speaker 1: for the American makes Central with the White Sox. They're
Speaker 1: in Texas on this Labor Day and the Rangers bombing away,
Speaker 1: who looked so refreshing. I decided to put on my
Speaker 1: twim trunks and dive right in. How is this? If
Speaker 1: you should see me now, you wouldn't know clearly not
Speaker 1: the highlight that I don't know what that was mark
Speaker 1: the chair to home runs and the Rangers on top
Speaker 1: six to two. Yeah, that was quite the embarrassing I
Speaker 1: still remember. That was quite the embarrassing moment. I still
Speaker 1: remember Art Martinez, the great engineer, one of the great
Speaker 1: radio engineers of all time, Art Martinez, he had played
Speaker 1: the sound bite and then turned his back and walked
Speaker 1: away from the board, and I knew right away it
Speaker 1: was the wrong sound bite and I could not get
Speaker 1: I was like waving my arms. I was like and
Speaker 1: then I started banging the table and it didn't matter
Speaker 1: because I was in a different a studio and it
Speaker 1: was soundproof. And those national updates, when you and I
Speaker 1: both heart took in that they were so serious. Back then,
Speaker 1: we were had to be like like news guys. It
Speaker 1: was so serious to death. The Huskies waited and watched
Speaker 1: to see who they'd be playing on Monday night, and
Speaker 1: then the back and forth thriller between Wisconsin and UK.
Speaker 1: With five point seven seconds left, Aaron Harrison received a
Speaker 1: pass from his twin brother Andrew, and for the third
Speaker 1: straight game, he did this as he again. Now fast
Speaker 1: forward and it's Brian Finley and everyone when they hear that,
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, like using all these adjectives that you know,
Speaker 1: and and just it's kind of just it's so lighthearted. Now.
Speaker 1: I like it, but it's so different from when we
Speaker 1: were doing updates. Oh yeah. Back back in those days,
Speaker 1: it was it was serious and if you didn't follow
Speaker 1: the instructions, that's that's how that goes. Uh see, where
Speaker 1: do we have Terry in England? Real quick? Says uh
Speaker 1: Man when you moved to the new Mallord mansion. What
Speaker 1: were the main criteria that you needed to choose the
Speaker 1: right house? Uh? He says, how many properties did you view? Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
Speaker 1: Uh So I can't really get it all that right now, Terry.
Speaker 1: But they were not It was not a lot of
Speaker 1: viewing that took place with where I'm at in a
Speaker 1: better part of town. And uh, there were some sentimental
Speaker 1: reasons and whatnot. So we'll leave it at that. Pierre
Speaker 1: from Springfield rights in as the mail bag continues, that's
Speaker 1: right hold on, Pierre says, it's one of the card
Speaker 1: carrying paid contributors of the Ben Mallows Show in the
Speaker 1: fifth hour podcast, I would like to extend my condolences
Speaker 1: to half point left Wing and the members of Beard
Speaker 1: Drinking Brant's family. Brian's juovial spirit will be missed and
Speaker 1: he leaves a void in the Malamusha. That is true.
Speaker 1: So instead of a question, I have more of a plea,
Speaker 1: much like hollering James, I would like you to reach
Speaker 1: out to the patron saint of the Mallams, to the
Speaker 1: Great Tammy and Montana and ask her to use her
Speaker 1: superpowers to find the likes of Randy formerly in formally
Speaker 1: in Norman. Yeah, Randy's the guy that got so upset
Speaker 1: he stopped listening to the show Danny because of a
Speaker 1: commercial member when I said pro bouncy ball, but I
Speaker 1: was reading the commercial. He didn't like the way the
Speaker 1: commercial right anyway, so uh. And then he also says,
Speaker 1: you're Montana Bear, wants to add them to the payroll,
Speaker 1: wants Tammy to find them. He says, I would also
Speaker 1: like to ask all members of the Malams to please
Speaker 1: take care of themselves. Life is short. The number eighteen
Speaker 1: sports talk show in the country cannot afford to lose
Speaker 1: any listeners. Ps A shout out to Danny G for
Speaker 1: keeping Genie alive through all of his glorious drops. And
Speaker 1: you have kept Genie alive and I'm a doctor. I'm
Speaker 1: so happy we can play some of those on this podcast,
Speaker 1: because I know Roberto kind of came in after Genie
Speaker 1: and and so you experienced the full amazement of Genie
Speaker 1: and Medford and it's It's one of the cool things
Speaker 1: about doing this is that we've lost, unfortunately a fair
Speaker 1: amount of listeners. I I've had many people pass away
Speaker 1: and it's it's part of the gig doing a late
Speaker 1: night show. People are listing, some of them very sick,
Speaker 1: some of them older, and it's just the birds in
Speaker 1: the beest circle of life. But it is cool that
Speaker 1: we can continue to play those drops. I also missed
Speaker 1: the Jimmy Ray from Tampa Bay drops. I love that guy,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Ray. I felt like he was the male version
Speaker 1: of Tammy in Montana. And then you also add Moonshine
Speaker 1: Mark you remember him from from Florida and I when
Speaker 1: I was moving, I still have a little bench thing
Speaker 1: that he made in like a wood shop thing, which
Speaker 1: was really neat, really nice man and kind of similar
Speaker 1: to beer drinking Brian, you know, a lot of alcohol
Speaker 1: and finally caught up to him. But those are some
Speaker 1: great names. Pierre A. K. A Alfe and O Piner,
Speaker 1: Randy from Norman who did call in. He had moved
Speaker 1: from Norman to like Orlando or something like that. And
Speaker 1: then Montana Bear affects us deeply. I was there finishing
Speaker 1: up my Sunday shift when Roberto came in to start
Speaker 1: your show and he had just found out about bear
Speaker 1: drinking Brian and he was visibly upset. The way I
Speaker 1: was when Jeannie passed away. And you know he'll keep
Speaker 1: uh those drops alive the same way I've kept the
Speaker 1: Genie drops alive. We Uh So I went out, but
Speaker 1: I better put you off the air because if I
Speaker 1: keep you on any longer, I'm gonna getting trouble. Someone's
Speaker 1: gonna demand a wellness check. Thank you. Yeah. And the
Speaker 1: thing too about this is like I remember when Jeannie
Speaker 1: was on her deathbed and she couldn't call the show.
Speaker 1: She had lost her voice, and I remember, you know,
Speaker 1: I was able to talk to her. She couldn't talk
Speaker 1: back because she was really in bad shape. And but
Speaker 1: she remember, she like she it really stuck with me. Uh.
Speaker 1: And I said, Genie, we were all pulling for you,
Speaker 1: everyone on the show and callers and all that. And
Speaker 1: she with with little voice, she said had she said,
Speaker 1: I love you guys like that and that was that
Speaker 1: just broke my heart. And uh and I am you know,
Speaker 1: and these people we don't really it's weird because it's
Speaker 1: read we don't really know them in real life. But
Speaker 1: yet here I am late at night talking to beer
Speaker 1: drinking Brian. For many years, calling in a couple of
Speaker 1: times a week, Genie and Medford would call every night.
Speaker 1: We thought she was fake when she first started calling
Speaker 1: because she was so out there and my Peach Cobbler
Speaker 1: lives and Uh, anyway, the only time we've met a
Speaker 1: lot of these people are during production meetings and when
Speaker 1: we signed their paychecks. Well, that is true, although I
Speaker 1: will tell you I did the one of the last
Speaker 1: I didn't want to see, which was a lot of
Speaker 1: fun meeting the listeners there and in Boston back in
Speaker 1: was back there. One of the great appearances we had
Speaker 1: at the Casking Flagging across from Finway, when David from
Speaker 1: Winter Park, Florida drove all the way from Florida to
Speaker 1: Boston to hang out with me for like ninety minutes
Speaker 1: at a bar on a chilly night in April in Boston. Uh,
Speaker 1: it was that was wild. That is some dedication, man,
Speaker 1: That was really cool. I I wish you had girlfriends
Speaker 1: that didn't even like you that much. No, No, I
Speaker 1: I had women I was interested in who if I
Speaker 1: was across the room, would not walk across the room,
Speaker 1: giving me the time of day, so I could even
Speaker 1: smell with perfume. They were wearing whatever they get out
Speaker 1: of here. Uh, and it speaking of getting out of here,
Speaker 1: I think, uh, we have time for maybe one more.
Speaker 1: Let's one more. I want to make it a good
Speaker 1: one here. And there's so many people that have sent
Speaker 1: emails in and I unfortunately, let's see here what show
Speaker 1: we wish? I'd go to Jason and Derby Wichita in
Speaker 1: the Wichita Kansas series? Is what is the oldest drop
Speaker 1: still in rotation on the Ben Mallor Show? And when
Speaker 1: is the BM of the PM going to be added
Speaker 1: to your list of nicknames? The I see what you
Speaker 1: did there? How dare you, Jason? The oldest job? I?
Speaker 1: I would say the oldest drop is probably the pay
Speaker 1: me five hundred thousand dollars all Endorset gay magazine. I
Speaker 1: think that's the oldest one. You pay me five hund
Speaker 1: thousand dollars all Endorse a game magazine, that's all? What?
Speaker 1: How about the go to Hell Bill Miller? Bill Miller?
Speaker 1: How old is that one? Oh? That's pretty old too,
Speaker 1: But I think the original because Jake Warner put that
Speaker 1: in at the original run Jake the Game magazine. You
Speaker 1: could hear the edit on that, unless you can't. I
Speaker 1: was ahead of my time on on that gay magazines.
Speaker 1: You were ahead of your time. Who knew that twenty
Speaker 1: years later that would be main stare. Back then, it
Speaker 1: was like jockey, Oh my god, I can't believe ma'm
Speaker 1: I've said that, But now now I would get applause.
Speaker 1: Everyone would be like, yes, you're talking about negros, so
Speaker 1: you're cutting out have come full full circle listen. So
Speaker 1: many people said email and I apologize. We had limited
Speaker 1: amount of time in the studio to get all of
Speaker 1: these on the here. I did want to say to
Speaker 1: everyone who we didn't get to, Thank you Cliff from Nashville,
Speaker 1: John the Jailer. These are big names the show contributors. Here,
Speaker 1: Kent from Colorado, who's upset because I say spit a
Speaker 1: lugie instead of hawka lugie. So we took time out
Speaker 1: to right thank you Kent. My life is better because

Speaker 1: and Northern Colorado as well, telling you ask me a
Speaker 1: question about feeding Bella or feeding different animals now and
Speaker 1: so if I didn't get to your question and you
Speaker 1: want to send it again. Blind Scott who asked if

Speaker 1: is true Danny. At this point, everyone in Los Angeles

Speaker 1: and Iowa Hill, Billy Mike. These are big names and
Speaker 1: so many others I didn't get to thank you. Hopefully

Speaker 1: do a longer mail bag and get to it to
Speaker 1: all these questions. I don't want to discourage you from
Speaker 1: sending them in, but we have a finite amount of time,
Speaker 1: and so that's the that's the way we do it.

Speaker 1: a good game and the Rams win and I'll be
Speaker 1: in a great mood. And if the Rams lose, won't
Speaker 1: be in a great mood. But I'll still be on
