Speaker 1: Kubbooms.
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 cutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow, the 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. The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller.
Speaker 1: That would be me and Danny g Radio Happy Sunday, Sunday, Oh,
Speaker 1: the Glorious Sunday. As we continue wild Card Weekend, Super
Speaker 1: wild Card Weekend in the NFL and three games, three game,
Speaker 1: The big one for me, Danny's is tonight the Rams
Speaker 1: and the Lions, the Matthew Stafford Jared Goff bloodbath, which
Speaker 1: I will be anxiously a waiting counting down to that game.
Speaker 1: But here we are hanging out again and it's a
Speaker 1: big mail bag. It's a mail bag kind of a day.
Speaker 1: But we've got some pop goals the culture as well,
Speaker 1: that we need to get to. There's a lot a
Speaker 1: lot going on. There's a lot of moving parts to
Speaker 1: the show, Danny, as you know, because you work on it,
Speaker 1: you help put the show together. There's a lot going
Speaker 1: on in the show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of moving parts.
Speaker 4: Takes a few hours to put it all together for
Speaker 4: your enjoyment. And I'm also looking forward to your favorite
Speaker 4: team playing tonight because I've been waiting all week to
Speaker 4: take part in pizza at Rich Davis's house for that game.
Speaker 4: I haven't had really really good pizza in weeks and
Speaker 4: weeks and weeks, I hope. And it's pretty much like
Speaker 4: when you you've gone a long time without pie.
Speaker 1: Oh no, for sure. Well, and that's in general with
Speaker 1: anything though. Hunger is the greatest spice there is. Right,
Speaker 1: if you're hungry, you'll anything any thing. It'll taste good,
Speaker 1: it is true. But is he you know what kind
Speaker 1: of piece he's gonna have.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna google and see if there's a round table
Speaker 4: near him, and I'm gonna say, hey, no not, get
Speaker 4: some round table, buddy.
Speaker 1: Get a couple of pies and some garlic palmersan twists.
Speaker 1: I would like those as well. But yeah, hunger is
Speaker 1: is the best the spice or sauce or whatever. That
Speaker 1: line goes back back in the day so why don't
Speaker 1: we start with pop goes the culture. Let's just get
Speaker 1: right to pop goes the culture. Here we go, let's
Speaker 1: strike up our guy from Ohio. Here we go. Come on, OHIOO.
Speaker 3: Let's do it, John.
Speaker 1: John, So this one, I'm not sure this came up
Speaker 1: on Covino and Rich. I love this story from the airlines.
Speaker 1: I don't fly that much. It's expensive to fly. I
Speaker 1: don't have a job where they pay me to fly,
Speaker 1: so I don't travel that much. Maybe a couple of
Speaker 1: times a year. I'll go on a trip if I'm lucky,
Speaker 1: sometimes once a year, sometimes no trips at all. So
Speaker 1: we've all heard the term over the last few years.
Speaker 1: If you're a Karen Right, that's bad. You do not
Speaker 1: want to be a Karen Right. That's a derogatory term
Speaker 1: to call someone a Karen Right. Busy body type thing,
Speaker 1: you know, annoying all that well. In the airline industry,
Speaker 1: it was revealed this week. Did you hear about this
Speaker 1: dandy from the I saw this in the tabloids in London.
Speaker 1: They said a flight attendant has shared the code word.
Speaker 1: If you're flying and you hear someone on the flight
Speaker 1: crew call you this, you're on the nautilust You know
Speaker 1: what this is the term? Have you heard this term?
Speaker 1: It's called a phillip. Who philip? If they say we've
Speaker 1: got a fillip on aisle? You know seven seven B
Speaker 1: is a fillip? That is a bad thing. Now what
Speaker 1: the hell does it mean? I'll tell you. If you
Speaker 1: are called a fillip, then you have done something to
Speaker 1: upset the flight crew. They don't like you, right, and
Speaker 1: you can expect them to treat you like shit the
Speaker 1: rest of the flight. That you will have bad servant,
Speaker 1: bad service to the rest of the flight. The name
Speaker 1: originated from the term pilp pilp, passenger, I'd like to punch.
Speaker 3: I was going to ask you if it meant something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it did, passenger I'd like to punch. But
Speaker 1: over the years it has slightly changed to be a
Speaker 1: little more subtle. So people don't know what are you
Speaker 1: talking about? A phillip? I don't know. Uh. But if
Speaker 1: you are called a fillip, or someone around you is
Speaker 1: called a fillip, that is a sign that the people
Speaker 1: that are serving you your little bag of peanuts and
Speaker 1: your little cup of water would like to punch you
Speaker 1: right in the nose. They would like to punch you
Speaker 1: right in the nose. I'm gonna add that term, Danny
Speaker 1: to my lexicon going forward. I like that, Philip. That's
Speaker 1: that's almost as good as a jag, right, You're just
Speaker 1: a jag, you know, just a guy. I like that
Speaker 1: one I love in football and it's yeah.
Speaker 3: How about when people say jag off.
Speaker 1: Well, that's even better. You want to get in the
Speaker 1: reason they say that, Danny, want to get into detail
Speaker 1: on why you My right hand was getting a workout?
Speaker 1: All right, what else do we how about this one?
Speaker 1: You ever want to You ever thought about living on
Speaker 1: a remote island? Danny, You and the missus and Koa
Speaker 1: can go out to a remote island somewhere.
Speaker 3: I would love to retire in Kawhi.
Speaker 1: That's not that remble. But a remote island is looking
Speaker 1: to pay two people to live there this summer, Danny,
Speaker 1: that you can be paid to live on a remote island.
Speaker 1: But of course, Danny, there's a catch. There is always
Speaker 1: a catch. You can live on a picture esque island
Speaker 1: and endless ocean views, unbelievable scenery, just amazing. The catch, now,
Speaker 1: you're not there to enjoy the water and the sun
Speaker 1: and the tropical Life, The Island lifemd the Island Life. Yes, instead,
Speaker 1: you will be working at a restaurant. You will be
Speaker 1: hosting guests at cottages, they like remote holiday cottages. And
Speaker 1: you do get paid, but it's like a hard labor job.
Speaker 1: But it's a beautiful island. You can work at a
Speaker 1: coffee shop there or whatnot, and I'll give you a salary.
Speaker 1: It looks amazing. It's just there's hardly anyone there's like
Speaker 1: it's an off the coast of Ireland. They remote island
Speaker 1: off the coast of Ireland, and they're gonna pay two weeks.
Speaker 3: That actually sounds like a nice plan.
Speaker 1: B Yeah, well, if this radio thing doesn't work out
Speaker 1: and it says you have to run a local coffee
Speaker 1: shop and you have to kind of oversea, you're the
Speaker 1: gatekeeper of the four holiday cottages. So that's that's it's
Speaker 1: kind of cool. I mean, I don't know how much
Speaker 1: it pays. But if you got nothing else going on,
Speaker 1: you know how much trouble could four cottages cause you?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: I mean probably not much, right, how much trouble? I
Speaker 1: don't think they can cause that much trouble, But I
Speaker 1: don't know I've ever done.
Speaker 3: That unless a CDC was staying in the cottages.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that would be a slight problems. Pop goes
Speaker 1: the culture. Well, here's an odd story from the science community.
Speaker 1: A Hubble telescope has discovered a strong radio transmission from
Speaker 1: what is being called an ancient blob. Yeah, so the
Speaker 1: oldest radio wave transmission ever recorded. So according to a
Speaker 1: Northwestern University Northwestern Universe, the story that I saw bouncing
Speaker 1: around and highly unusual, highly unusual. It was actually first
Speaker 1: discovered eighteen months ago, but we're just learning about it
Speaker 1: right now. Scientists are very excited, as you might imagine, Wow,
Speaker 1: wouldn't it be great, Danny if the first communication we
Speaker 1: as mere mortals here in a little planet Earth that
Speaker 1: we hear from another world is like some guy doing
Speaker 1: a talk show in some far away landing, you know,
Speaker 1: doing middays, and that's the first voice we hear from
Speaker 1: another world. Wouldn'd be awesome. I think that'd be great.
Speaker 1: Have big eyes.
Speaker 4: That would be really cool, especially with all the UFO stories,
Speaker 4: the alien stories we've been talking about lately, including that
Speaker 4: footage from two thousand and eight. It looks like a
Speaker 4: sperm UFO that's going in and out of the water.
Speaker 3: Did you see that?
Speaker 1: I don't think I saw. It was this week. I
Speaker 1: don't think I saw that one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it came that story came out a few
Speaker 3: days ago.
Speaker 1: No, I didn't. I don't think I saw. I usually
Speaker 1: liked those stories. I remember the one a few months ago,
Speaker 1: the Aliens in Mexico that worked the bodies, Remember they.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, people thought it was Kate.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh, what was the take? I don't know if
Speaker 1: this came up on Colvino Rush this week. The George
Speaker 1: Carlin AI, the George Carlin AI that was bouncing around
Speaker 1: the other day. His daughter was upset. There was a
Speaker 1: comedy special that did an AI generated George Carlin.
Speaker 3: Oh interesting, I didn't see that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they did George Carlin's voice without his permission from
Speaker 1: the family or the estate of George Carlin and his daughter,
Speaker 1: you know, was upset and angry and all that. And
Speaker 1: I heard it, and my first take was it I
Speaker 1: didn't think it was that good. And my second take was,
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was that funny. I didn't see
Speaker 1: it didn't sound like Carlin to me, and I didn't
Speaker 1: think it was very funny. I'm a big Carlin guy.
Speaker 1: I've told the story many times before that George Carlin
Speaker 1: was a caller to talk radio in LA sports talk radio.
Speaker 1: He used to call in as George from Venice. And
Speaker 1: I love that because he's like the greatest comedian I
Speaker 1: ever saw in my life. He's right up there with
Speaker 1: Richard Pryor and Chris Rock and whoever you think the
Speaker 1: greatest is, and he's in that group. And Carlin loves
Speaker 1: sports and would listen at night, usually at night, not
Speaker 1: during the day. At night he listened to sports radio
Speaker 1: and call in.
Speaker 4: And yeah, I want to hear you fill in on
Speaker 4: Coast to Coast when George Nori is taking a break. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it would be awesome. But by the way, you've got
Speaker 4: to type this into your Google machine. It's CNN Business
Speaker 4: and the title is Newly leaked video shows a UFO
Speaker 4: disappear into the water. For Google, I just typed in
Speaker 4: UFO goes into.
Speaker 1: Water, Okay, UFO in water.
Speaker 4: Pentagon has confirmed these images of UFOs are part of
Speaker 4: an ongoing investigation. UFO enthusiast Jeremy Corbel has released leaked
Speaker 4: footage taken by a Navy ship.
Speaker 1: Hmm interesting, Yeah, I've got it's black and white video. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like a blob. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: But then the night vision comes on.
Speaker 4: About twenty seconds in you'll see a clear shot of
Speaker 4: the UFO when they put night vision on it.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm watching, yeah, oh kind of vantage.
Speaker 4: It like disappears into the ocean and then it comes
Speaker 4: speeding back out of the water.
Speaker 1: What is what is that?
Speaker 3: That's wow, that's a real UFO right there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty cool. Cool. Why do what they think
Speaker 1: of us? Maybe there are overlords and we're just the
Speaker 1: slaves to them. Maybe there are bosses which everything we
Speaker 1: do is for them from the other world? Do do do?
Speaker 1: Do do?
Speaker 3: Sounds like you're already filling in for George Norriy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, yeah, that's it's the weed. But what
Speaker 1: about the possibility, Danny, You know, you look at these
Speaker 1: aliens stories as UFO stories and all that. What if
Speaker 1: there is a shadow world at the bottom of the ocean.
Speaker 1: There's a portal like the transfer portal in college football,
Speaker 1: but it's at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, and
Speaker 1: that's where there's a whole different species that live in
Speaker 1: the middle of the planet Earth, and they go through
Speaker 1: the transfer portal. In the Pacific Ocean and they come
Speaker 1: out to see there we are the slaves help here
Speaker 1: on planet Earth, and they monitor what we do. Is
Speaker 1: that coast to coast worthy? You think that takes worthy?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that would make sense of why that's speeding out
Speaker 4: of the water the way it is.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: How great would it be if the aliens are actually
Speaker 1: just supersized jellyfish? That just jellyfish on some kind of
Speaker 1: weird drug. I'm on drugs right now. Let's see what
Speaker 1: else do we have? It is, uh, pop goes the culture.
Speaker 1: There's a couple other stories that I did want to
Speaker 1: get to. I don't want to screw this up here.
Speaker 1: Let's see with that. I'll do a couple more. We
Speaker 1: do have the mail bag, so we must get to
Speaker 1: the mail bag momentarily by by demand. People demanding the mail.
Speaker 4: Bag, especially if they missed ask Man on your live
Speaker 4: show this past week.
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. That's a totally
Speaker 1: different situation. The mail bag original content. Nobody else has
Speaker 1: anything close to the mail bag and at all at all.
Speaker 1: You know, enough of pop goes to cold. I want
Speaker 1: to just get to the mailbag because you know, you
Speaker 1: kind of besmirched the mail bag. And because you besmirched
Speaker 1: the mail bag, we're going to do an extended dance
Speaker 1: remix of the mail bag. So again, ohio Al, we
Speaker 1: go to you, our lonely hearts, strike up the band,
Speaker 1: ohio Al, Here we go, Here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 3: It's bag.
Speaker 1: Adding some extra spice, maybe some Tarioki sauce. Danny, Well,
Speaker 1: that's some Tarioki sauce, and we'll we'll roast the pig
Speaker 1: that is the mail bag. These are actual questions by
Speaker 1: actual listeners to the show. Don't forget before we get
Speaker 1: into the mail bag, Backscratcher would. Really, we're not doing
Speaker 1: that because we haven't gotten any reviews in a while.
Speaker 1: But it does help us out. And if it's if
Speaker 1: it's something you're interested in doing, helping the podcast and
Speaker 1: the people in the corner office, the corporate muckety MUCKs
Speaker 1: that monitor this podcast, they like the reviews of the podcast.
Speaker 1: It's important to them and the viability of the podcast. Uh,
Speaker 1: help us out now. I said we got no reviews.
Speaker 1: We actually did, though I lied. I'm a liar. I lied, Danny.
Speaker 1: We did get a reviews. So before we get to
Speaker 1: I know, we played the mailbag open, but what the hell,
Speaker 1: it's a podcast the fluid situation. So we did get
Speaker 1: one review. I didn't even notice this bad job by me.
Speaker 1: And these are actual rus by actual listeners on the
Speaker 1: Apple podcast page. I want to say hello to John
Speaker 1: in Northern Colorado. John gives us not one, not two,
Speaker 1: not three, not four, but five stars. Dan, we got
Speaker 1: five stars from John. What man? That's good, he says,
Speaker 1: never before in the course of human events has there
Speaker 1: been such a confluence of sports and personal experience. It's sarcastic, sardonic, insightful,
Speaker 1: and most of all entertaining. Ben and Danny are raconteurs,
Speaker 1: are excellence. I can't wait for the next installment if
Speaker 1: you want to crown him. That sounds like it was
Speaker 1: written by somebody at Warner Brothers or you know, one
Speaker 1: of the studios they're talking about a movie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's great writing.
Speaker 1: I saw like g I's a teacher. I think that's
Speaker 1: a good job by him. Well, thank you, John, and
Speaker 1: I did not even see that, And I'm glad I
Speaker 1: looked because there it was. But here are the mailbag
Speaker 1: questions for myself and Danny g This one comes from
Speaker 1: Mike in Santan Francisco. He says, Hey, guys, hello from
Speaker 1: the Bay. Ben. The other night, I heard you and
Speaker 1: Iowa Sam got into a bit of a disagreement dust
Speaker 1: up over the Iowa minute, and Mike says, were you
Speaker 1: really upset that Sam played the bowl game clip of
Speaker 1: the Hawkeyes or was that just a bit? So thank
Speaker 1: you Mike for listening and reaching out. We do thank you.
Speaker 1: First thing I would say is it was it was
Speaker 1: a bit. But what did Freud say that there's a
Speaker 1: little bit of truth in every joke, isn't Isn't that
Speaker 1: his line?
Speaker 3: Yep?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So I love Iowa Sam, and I'm not
Speaker 1: saying anything bad about Iowa Sam.
Speaker 3: That's not what you off the air I just said.
Speaker 1: But which means everything I said before is a lie. No,
Speaker 1: my point get to the point place. So my point
Speaker 1: here Mike and I said this on the air is
Speaker 1: like and Danny, I think we have the same mindset, like,
Speaker 1: you know, the platform is what's going on right now,
Speaker 1: and I love Ioa Sam and all that. But he
Speaker 1: did play a SoundBite from a bowl game that had
Speaker 1: been played two weeks earlier and kind of like giving
Speaker 1: a recap of it. And my argument was, anybody that
Speaker 1: cared about that already heard it. And I've always been
Speaker 1: drilled by my bosses and radio that our platform is
Speaker 1: all about now. It's about now and what's happening next.
Speaker 1: It's not about what did happen, It's about now and
Speaker 1: what's happening is So it's kind of been drilled into me.
Speaker 1: So when I hear stuff that's old, it just crawls
Speaker 1: up my skin. It's a natural animalistic reaction that I get,
Speaker 1: and it's a bad job by me, it's a flaw
Speaker 1: by me. But we're in a battle in media, whatever
Speaker 1: platform you're on, because people have access to so much stuff,
Speaker 1: and a lot of it is just convenience. That people
Speaker 1: are creatures of habit. They'll listen to what they like,
Speaker 1: and they don't they don't want to spend too much
Speaker 1: work digging around. But there are people. If you want
Speaker 1: to find highlights of a ballgame, if you care about it,
Speaker 1: you're gonna find it, right And it's like, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like giving the standings on a radio show. Well you
Speaker 1: can get there.
Speaker 4: And it's also why we don't DVR sporting events exactly.
Speaker 4: We see all the clips on social media The only
Speaker 4: thing I will say that's a little bit different is
Speaker 4: like our audio drops and clips of great moments, things
Speaker 4: that are gonna last forever, like great rants. It's a
Speaker 4: complete crap things like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's just something that randomly happened a week ago,
Speaker 4: and it's not even something that we played. Then why
Speaker 4: are we going to play it a week later?
Speaker 1: Yeah? So that was my point to the to the
Speaker 1: guy Mike here, and that's all I was getting at.
Speaker 1: You know, is it a full dereliction of duties? No,
Speaker 1: I just want everything to be good. I have high
Speaker 1: standards and I put a lot of work into it,
Speaker 1: and when I hear stuff that I think is not good,
Speaker 1: I sometimes snap. So that was probably a more bad
Speaker 1: job by me than it was Sam. But I just,
Speaker 1: you know, I couldn't help myself. I was like, well, okay,
Speaker 1: that's like two weeks old. We're moving on. Next question.
Speaker 1: Steve in oceanside. Beautiful ocean side, beautiful ocean side, good
Speaker 1: military town there, ocean side, he says, Ben and Danny,
Speaker 1: oh this is he says, this is for you.
Speaker 3: Ben.
Speaker 1: What are you going to spend the thirty five thousand
Speaker 1: dollars you got from being on Marcel's Internet show. Do
Speaker 1: you have to report that to the irs? Danny? You're
Speaker 1: my account? Do I have to report that thirty five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars I got? I should get paid thirty five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. But Guy, it turned into a religious revival
Speaker 1: when I was on. As we talked about in the
Speaker 1: previous episode of the podcast, I think I should some
Speaker 1: cop instation. Thank you Jesus.
Speaker 4: Until you get your bill and the mail from the
Speaker 4: state in federal what.
Speaker 1: I should do, Danny is send a message to Marcel
Speaker 1: find his address to send him a legal letter saying
Speaker 1: I'm demanding thirty five thousand dollars and he would lose
Speaker 1: his mind. Lose his mind. Very funny though, from Steve
Speaker 1: Jay and Nebraska Rights and he's next to the mailbag,
Speaker 1: Jay says, Ben and Danny love the podcast. We have
Speaker 1: more roundabouts in my state than any other state in
Speaker 1: the US. How do you guys feel about driving in
Speaker 1: traffic circles? Is that true, by the way, Danny, that
Speaker 1: Nebraska has more How would you how the hell would
Speaker 1: you know?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: We had a question about this though just a few
Speaker 4: weekends ago. Remember I don't Yeah, and you said that
Speaker 4: you drove. I forget what state, but you oh.
Speaker 1: You know, I do you know Indianapolis? I think yes,
Speaker 1: I thought Indianapolis had more. So I think you're full
Speaker 1: of you know what, Jay, You're right, I think Indianapolis
Speaker 1: is the one because I remember there are tons of
Speaker 1: traffic circles in Indianapolis. I'm not spend any time in Nebraska,
Speaker 1: so I don't I couldn't tell you about the roundabouts,
Speaker 1: but I guess we'll repeat my answer from before. I
Speaker 1: don't know what you're I don't remember you're answer to
Speaker 1: any But for us, living where we do, there's not
Speaker 1: a lot of roundabouts. So when you see a roundabout,
Speaker 1: it it's like kind of cool because it's not normal.
Speaker 3: Then I just typed it into the Google machine.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it says Nebraska technically has the most roundabouts per person,
Speaker 4: while Oklahoma has the fewest.
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, Jay, that must be a civic pride thing
Speaker 1: for people in Neska. We don't have funny, we don't
Speaker 1: have the biggest buildings, we don't have the biggest corporation.
Speaker 1: But let me tell you something. You come see our roundabouts.
Speaker 1: We got the biggest roundabouts in the freaking country. That's funny,
Speaker 1: that's so good. Nick in Wisconsin rights in and I
Speaker 1: met Nick. Nick came over to the Malor Meat and
Speaker 1: Greet in Minneapolis. He says, Hey, guys, a quick question,
Speaker 1: what is your favorite food to eat as a leftover?
Speaker 1: I just had some leftover lasagna on this cold Sunday morning,
Speaker 1: he said, And he enjoyed that leftover lasagna. I'm not
Speaker 1: a leftovers guy. I do enjoy. I enjoy pizza, pizzas
Speaker 1: pretty much all I'll eat regularly that's left over. And
Speaker 1: occasionally I'll reheat some soup, some chicken soup, I'll reheat.
Speaker 1: There are some things that actually taste better. I think
Speaker 1: a lasagn is one of those things, isn't it where
Speaker 1: if you leave it it'll better. But yeah, I like
Speaker 1: pizza cold. Yeah, pizza's good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, not necessarily cold, but pizza at room temperature, Like
Speaker 4: take it out the morning after, let it sit for
Speaker 4: just a few minutes so that it gets to like
Speaker 4: room temperature.
Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, really good.
Speaker 4: The flavors all set in, and that's why lasagna tastes
Speaker 4: so good. Same thing with a lot of Mexican food
Speaker 4: or Italian food. The flavors settle in and taste even
Speaker 4: better the next morning.
Speaker 1: Yell me yeah, but generally speaking, and Nick, I don't
Speaker 1: eat too many too many left doors Mike and Fullerton right,
Speaker 1: since says Happy New Year, Ben and Danny g Well,
Speaker 1: I've already dropped all my New Year's resolutions. It was
Speaker 1: fun while it lasted. Wish me luck next year. Mike says,
Speaker 1: if FSR offered the radio equivalent of the Ottani contract,
Speaker 1: would either of you be interested? Let's say you'd have
Speaker 1: to take a seventy five percent pay cut for the
Speaker 1: next ten years, but then for the next ten years
Speaker 1: after that, he'd make sixty eight million dollars tax free dollars.
Speaker 1: Would you take that deal? I assume? Mike means also
Speaker 1: you'd have to leave California? And how can I say?
Speaker 1: How many different ways can I say? Yes?
Speaker 3: Danny, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Isn't that kind of an obvious one? Right? Wouldn't that
Speaker 1: be a yes all the way through?
Speaker 3: Yes, it's a no brainer.
Speaker 4: Although I would want to spend some money right now,
Speaker 4: because you know, we're not promised the next ten years.
Speaker 4: We're middle aged, maybe a couple of years past that. Now,
Speaker 4: based on the life expectancy of men, our women could
Speaker 4: get away. Our girls are better half. They could enjoy
Speaker 4: it twenty thirty forty years from now and we'll probably
Speaker 4: be dead.
Speaker 1: That's a good point. Yeah, it's nice to think about it.
Speaker 1: You like to think I'll be healthy, nothing will pop up,
Speaker 1: but you know, you don't know if the future holds.
Speaker 1: But the idea of getting sixty eight million tax free
Speaker 1: dollars is wonderful. Alf writes in from the edit base
Speaker 1: as ben what is up with the Benettes? These guys
Speaker 1: wouldn't know a drop. It would hit him in the head.
Speaker 1: He mentions the Toronto co coach is Tirade was a
Speaker 1: drop up, a loser, and the Bennettes argued with you
Speaker 1: every clip that you said was a drop whose name
Speaker 1: is on the Pleeping show.
Speaker 3: Let me back up to Friday Friday. You talked about
Speaker 3: that rant.
Speaker 4: Yes, and I cut a drop out of that rant
Speaker 4: immediately and put it in the podcast on Friday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it's it was great and all. This is
Speaker 1: the battle. If you guys said that are fans of mine.
Speaker 1: You think I'm just busting balls. No, the Bennettes, it's malfeasance.
Speaker 1: It is malfeasance by the Benettes. Like, yes, I listened
Speaker 1: to Dan Patrick or Colin Cower. I don't listen to
Speaker 1: them really much at all, but when I'm off sometimes
Speaker 1: and I'll hear them if I if I'm not sleeping,
Speaker 1: like whatever. These guys need. Their staff says yes, how
Speaker 1: many can I do for you? And my staff is no,
Speaker 1: that's not a drop. I don't want to put that in.
Speaker 1: I don't understand why that is. I really I don't
Speaker 1: get it. But it's always kind of been that way.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that darko thing, Yeah right, Alkovich, Oh my god, it's.
Speaker 4: The last few words were the funniest. I made a
Speaker 4: drop instantly because he ends it by saying, it's a
Speaker 4: complete crap.
Speaker 1: It's a complete crap. Yeah, that was It's a complete
Speaker 1: the crap And what happened tonight this is complete bs,
Speaker 1: this is a complete crap. Yeah. And the Scotty Barnes
Speaker 1: line was wonder Scotty Barnes is gonna be All Star.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be the face of the league.
Speaker 3: Of the league.
Speaker 1: That is so good.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's amazing.
Speaker 1: I'm getting pushback from my team, Danny. They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: nobody knows who Scotty Barnes.
Speaker 3: Who?
Speaker 1: That's the point. That is the point of the drop
Speaker 1: that nobody knows who Scotty Barnes is. And this guy
Speaker 1: said he's gonna be the face of the league. And
Speaker 1: I saw that he got fined twenty five thousand dollars
Speaker 1: this week for that. And as I mentioned in a
Speaker 1: monologue on the Friday Show, that is money well spent.
Speaker 1: That is money well spent because he has now become immortal, right,
Speaker 1: he has become immortal, just so so so good. It's
Speaker 1: like Mike Gundy, the coach at Oklahoma State. Oh, man,
Speaker 1: I'm forty, right, I'm a man, I'm forty. Or remember
Speaker 1: when Eric Spolster was coaching the Heat and they fell
Speaker 1: behind three games to two. I think it was going
Speaker 1: back to Dallas and the NBA Finals. They lost at
Speaker 1: home and they had to win both games in Dallas,
Speaker 1: and Spolster said, I wouldn't have it any other way,
Speaker 1: Like you're lying, wouldn't have it any other way. You're
Speaker 1: You're a liar, You're a liar.
Speaker 3: Yes, all right?
Speaker 1: What is next year? Dear Ben and Dany I did
Speaker 1: not get a name on this one. When you go
Speaker 1: to a sporting event, oh, I think I think I know.
Speaker 1: Hold on let me just let me find the name.
Speaker 1: I want to give the name critics. I think our
Speaker 1: buddy in Kansas, I believe who sent this one in?
Speaker 1: Uh said, oh, this is Kevin, Kevin, Kevin and Kaan's
Speaker 1: bad job by me, Kevin. But Kevin says, dear bandon Danny,
Speaker 1: g when you go to a sporting event, what percentage
Speaker 1: of you as a fan, what percentage of you has
Speaker 1: work on the mind? You both frequent enough as game visitors.
Speaker 1: I was just wondering how much you can cheer boo
Speaker 1: and take notes. That's from Kevin in Kansas. So what
Speaker 1: is your position on that, Danny. As far as being
Speaker 1: in the press box, yeah, I guess, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, he says, just being at sporting events.
Speaker 1: But yeah, if you're in the crowd, you can do
Speaker 1: whatever the hell you want.
Speaker 3: Oh, in the crowd. You know.
Speaker 4: I'm not overboard, but I'm pretty vocal for my team
Speaker 4: when I go to a game. And as far as
Speaker 4: booing my own team, I've never done that.
Speaker 3: Trust me.
Speaker 4: There were times as a season ticket holder, I really
Speaker 4: wanted to boot a Marcus Russell, but I just don't
Speaker 4: think it helps your team's efforts. Out there on the field. Now,
Speaker 4: I'll boo the opposing team. And there was one time
Speaker 4: been the Raiders were playing the Redskins and it was
Speaker 4: a rainy, soppy day in Oakland, California, and you know,
Speaker 4: in the black hole there, there weren't that many colors
Speaker 4: of the opposing team in the crowd. That was a
Speaker 4: very pro Raider fan experience. There there was one Redskins
Speaker 4: fan who kept jumping up, turning around, pointing and talking
Speaker 4: shit and dropping f bombs on all the Raider fans.
Speaker 3: I had like half of a subway sandwich.
Speaker 4: When the security guard had turned his head, I threw
Speaker 4: a fastball right at the back of his Redskins jersey
Speaker 4: and it got mustard on it. And that's the most
Speaker 4: rowdy I've ever been at a game. But I did
Speaker 4: get a standing ovation from my section because the guy
Speaker 4: was so obnoxious he deserved it.
Speaker 1: No, that's great, that's great. As far as the booing
Speaker 1: of the team, we can agree to this on that.
Speaker 1: Because I'm a boo guy. I like booing. I think
Speaker 1: booing is wonderful.
Speaker 3: I love the boob I understand booing the Clippers, I
Speaker 3: get that well.
Speaker 1: Booming the Dodgers too, But Kevin. A lot of the
Speaker 1: time I'll go to games, I'm you know, free loading
Speaker 1: in the press box and so I'm hanging out so
Speaker 1: you can't there's no cheering in the press box. But
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. When the Dodgers were in the
Speaker 1: World Series and I was there at the World Series
Speaker 1: games inside, I was dying on every basically every pitch,
Speaker 1: and in the League Championship Series, NBA playoffs, that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. But yeah, during the regular season, I don't
Speaker 1: really get too into it. And most of the time
Speaker 1: now I'm just like, what's the story. What's gonna make
Speaker 1: good talk radio? What am I gonna have? Give me
Speaker 1: something good to talk about. That's my main agenda when
Speaker 1: I'm watching sports these days, as like, I just need
Speaker 1: something good to discuss. I just need something, something that
Speaker 1: will get me through a radio show, a segment on
Speaker 1: a show. It's like the other night Carmelo Anthony went
Speaker 1: on a rant on some podcast that he has this
Speaker 1: conspiracy the Nuggets gave Nikoli okch number fifteen to mess
Speaker 1: with Carmelo's legacy. You talk about a looney tune take,
Speaker 1: But it's good radio. It's good radio, right because Carmelo.
Speaker 1: It's the Nuggets are so in his head. He couldn't
Speaker 1: wait to get out of Denver. He wanted to go
Speaker 1: to the Knicks. He you know, did He tried to
Speaker 1: get out of Denver as far as long as he could,
Speaker 1: as long as he could. Anyway, last one of the
