Speaker 1: Kaboom. 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 the Clearinghouse of hot takes
Speaker 1: break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben
Speaker 1: Maller starts right now in the air everywhere and welcome
Speaker 1: into the mail Bag edition of The Fifth Hour with
Speaker 1: Ben Maller and Danny G. Radio. Now, since this is
Speaker 1: a podcast and we don't announce when we're recording the podcast,
Speaker 1: there are no calls like the phones even though they ring, Danny,
Speaker 1: we're not we're not answering the phone. Maybe at some
Speaker 1: point we'll do that. We'll figure out a way logistically,
Speaker 1: there are ways to do it. But we have the mailbag.
Speaker 1: It is our chance to interact with you, the listeners,
Speaker 1: and let's get right into it. Danny G, what do
Speaker 1: you say, do you have it? Do announced before we
Speaker 1: get into it? No, just your thought about the phones there.
Speaker 1: People spend way too much damn time on their phones.
Speaker 1: Unless you're using your phone to listen to this podcast,
Speaker 1: then it's okay. Yes, And I did meet some people people.
Speaker 1: I mentioned Dottie from the Friday podcast and she does
Speaker 1: not have email. She does not have a computer. Dotty
Speaker 1: told me that. I said, why don't you, I'll email.
Speaker 1: I think I was gonna email or something, and Dottie's like, no, no,
Speaker 1: I go to the library. That's how I used the
Speaker 1: computer at the library. Can you imagine, Danny, how much
Speaker 1: more difficult would our lives be with what we do.
Speaker 1: We would all have meltdowns if we did not have
Speaker 1: access to a computer. And when you have a smartphone
Speaker 1: on it, you've got a radio, you've got a television,
Speaker 1: you've got a computer. They can spy on you. Big
Speaker 1: brother can spy on you at any moment. They know
Speaker 1: where you are, the shopping cart. It's exactly. It is
Speaker 1: one of the great conveniences. And I don't know, maybe
Speaker 1: financially she can't afford that. I have no idea, but listen,
Speaker 1: you listen, however you listen. That's how people get hookers
Speaker 1: in cocaine. Bunch of hookers and cocaine. Whether you whether
Speaker 1: you listen on terrestrial radio regular regularly. I did see
Speaker 1: Danny Fox Sports Radio upgrading our affiliate in San Diego,
Speaker 1: the San Diego market. Poppy actually told me this on
Speaker 1: the air the other night. We went from thirteen sixty
Speaker 1: on the AM dial to seven sixty on the amw
Speaker 1: which is great. It's a much more powerful station in
Speaker 1: San Diego. And so they flipped the conservative talk station,
Speaker 1: the Patriot San Diego version, that went to the higher
Speaker 1: frequency and we went on the lower frequency. So that
Speaker 1: was kind of cool. But the problem with San Diego radio,
Speaker 1: and I know this when I worked in San Diego,
Speaker 1: is that the transmitters are all pretty powerful, but they're
Speaker 1: facing the Pacific Ocean. So you're broadcasting if only blue
Speaker 1: books blue whales, rather if only blue whales, dolphins, seals,
Speaker 1: uh fish, schools of fish, yes, and guys working on
Speaker 1: oil rigs, if only they could be credited with listening
Speaker 1: to the programming, the audience would be much bigger. Now.
Speaker 1: That was one of the great things about working at
Speaker 1: a border blaster station that was not governed by the FCC,
Speaker 1: because the mighty six ninety was booming just the same
Speaker 1: but different. It was booming across the United States as
Speaker 1: opposed to out to the Pacific Ocean, so little inside
Speaker 1: radio mumbo jumbo and all that. But let's get to
Speaker 1: the mailbag right now, and our buddy, ohio Wow, it's
Speaker 1: mail bag, all right, thank you for that, Ohio Wow.
Speaker 1: And let's see who is first. I got mail, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got mail. Yeah. Reminder, if you want to be
Speaker 1: part of the mailbag, you don't have to wait for
Speaker 1: me to post something on Facebook. I do it every
Speaker 1: Monday or Tuesday, usually in the afternoon, sometimes in the
Speaker 1: morning on the Facebook page. I'll put a funny gift
Speaker 1: on there, and then you can submit a question or
Speaker 1: you can just email me right now. You don't have
Speaker 1: to wait if you have a witty question, something about
Speaker 1: the show, something about something that has happened in the past.
Speaker 1: Danny G. You want to ask him what his life's
Speaker 1: like my life. You want to ask Danny G what
Speaker 1: it's like to be in a school and being around
Speaker 1: kids all the time. Uh, ask me what it's like
Speaker 1: to have no life and not do anything other than radio.
Speaker 1: You can ask me any of those questions and Danny
Speaker 1: Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Make sure to
Speaker 1: spell it out Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com.
Speaker 1: First one comes from Cliff from Nashville's has Been and
Speaker 1: Danny G. Y'all said, I was pranking you with the
Speaker 1: broom straw checking the rightness of a watermelon. Have you
Speaker 1: have you had the opportunity to try it? Uh? And
Speaker 1: he also says, please Ben, take the West of the
Speaker 1: four oh five off your podcast promos and replace it
Speaker 1: with Danny G. He is worthy. Al right. So as
Speaker 1: far as the podcast promo thing, I don't know anything
Speaker 1: about that, Danny, I'm not sure how that works. I
Speaker 1: think I Heart has an old version of the promo.
Speaker 1: They've been sticking it in some of the podcasts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's away from what we do. Unfortunately, we're not
Speaker 1: in charge of that. Well, that is his disrespect. That's
Speaker 1: not right. There has to be away. I know this
Speaker 1: is a major bureauqu to see and there's a lot
Speaker 1: of layers at iHeart Media, but there has to be
Speaker 1: a way that we can get rid of that. There's
Speaker 1: some central command that we can go to and just
Speaker 1: simply trade out the old promo for the new promo.
Speaker 1: We could record a new promo, Danny. I'm willing to
Speaker 1: do that. We can write some new copy. I I
Speaker 1: believe I am capable of doing that. We can come
Speaker 1: up with some new dogma and toss it in there
Speaker 1: and boom, it'll be unfreaking believable. Danny. Yeah, we talk
Speaker 1: for all these hours. I think we're okay to talk
Speaker 1: for thirty seconds. Yeah. Well, of course, it's like it's
Speaker 1: like the difference between television and radio. Like people that
Speaker 1: do television and go to radio have a much harder
Speaker 1: time typically than people that go from radio to television
Speaker 1: because it's a whole different skill set in terms of
Speaker 1: the amount of time. Ask Pat O'Brien p o b
Speaker 1: who's been on this podcast, the Great Pat O'Brien. Anyway,
Speaker 1: as far as the watermelon thing, I have not check
Speaker 1: the watermelon. I have stuck to my original watermelon technique
Speaker 1: where you look for the watermelon that's all scratched up
Speaker 1: because that's that's the sweetest watermelon, because the bugs were
Speaker 1: trying to get into the critters were trying to get
Speaker 1: into the watermelon. So that's what I do. Have you
Speaker 1: have you, Danny, been able to try the broom straw
Speaker 1: technique for the water from our past conversations, I also
Speaker 1: now have been looking for the ones that are the
Speaker 1: most scratched up, and has that worked for you? Yeah? Okay,
Speaker 1: my TENDERNI picked out a watermelon just a week ago,
Speaker 1: and it looked all scratched up, and it was bright
Speaker 1: red inside and juicy and over me had enough sweetness
Speaker 1: to it. It was perfect. It's a great life hack
Speaker 1: because most people don't know it, and they would avoid
Speaker 1: those watermelons because they think there's something wrong with and
Speaker 1: they look beat up. The simpleton will say, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: that's a cautionary watermelon. Do not do not touch that watermelon.
Speaker 1: That's there's storm clouds around that watermelon. And we know better,
Speaker 1: all right. I next up on there the mail bag.
Speaker 1: These are actual messages by actual lists. Mr Luciano says, Hey, Ben,
Speaker 1: no question, Yeah, no question asked for you and Danny G.
Speaker 1: I just want to say thank you. Mr Luciano says,
Speaker 1: thanks again. It was a pleasure meeting both of you.
Speaker 1: Great times. Keep doing what you doubt well. Thank you,
Speaker 1: Mr Luciano. A fine night we had together that we
Speaker 1: will remember, and I'm sure you you remember. Mr Luciano.
Speaker 1: It was great meeting you, and I'm glad you were
Speaker 1: able to make it and hang out and you stayed
Speaker 1: long enough for Danny and the whole the whole deal
Speaker 1: you've got mail, Kevin and Kansas writes, and he says,
Speaker 1: dear Ben and Danny, g with your recent car issues,
Speaker 1: have either of you gone for walks recently or has
Speaker 1: life been too busy for that right now? Ben, is
Speaker 1: your new area just as nice for walking as the
Speaker 1: old place? So I answer that one first. Kevin. First
Speaker 1: of all, I hope live Street in ull. Kevin is
Speaker 1: a teacher as well, Danny, so he's in the education world.
Speaker 1: Where I live now, Kevin, there's actually more trails to walk.
Speaker 1: It's an amazing place where I where I reside, and
Speaker 1: I've done a little bit of it lately. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna lie. It's been too hot and I just haven't
Speaker 1: been able to to get out and wander the trails
Speaker 1: and whatnot. I hope to get back to that. I
Speaker 1: love going on nature hikes. I love walking to like waterfalls.
Speaker 1: There's a great one up in Pasadena, in the Pasadena
Speaker 1: area of southern California. Danny, I don't know if you've
Speaker 1: done any of that hiking to waterfalls, but it's it's
Speaker 1: pretty cool. There's a a bridge that goes to nowhere,
Speaker 1: the bridge to Nowhere, which is out above Azuza in
Speaker 1: southern California. I'd like to go there at some point.
Speaker 1: But I like stuff like that. But I answer your question, Kevin,
Speaker 1: I have not really done much of that recently. I
Speaker 1: have been going to the gym. My treadmill, my dear
Speaker 1: beloved treadmill is covered in dust, and at some point
Speaker 1: the crowd will go wild because that thing will work again.
Speaker 1: Just be careful with that bridge to nowhere, because everybody
Speaker 1: in southern California knows that's where the chakra lives. Oh
Speaker 1: is that right? Uh? The boogeyman. You gotta watch out
Speaker 1: for the boogeyman. What about you, Danny? You have told
Speaker 1: stories about how you've gone. You have the e bike,
Speaker 1: You've done a little bit of that. But have you
Speaker 1: been wandering the mean streets of the valley. It was
Speaker 1: two weekends ago. I tried to take a Saturday morning
Speaker 1: walk after I finished post production of the podcast. I
Speaker 1: told my TENDERRONI, I'll go out with you. As she
Speaker 1: was walking the dog dog Daisy, who looks like a
Speaker 1: squirrel ear. She had to pick Daisy up because it
Speaker 1: was hot. Her dog he didn't want to touch the concrete.
Speaker 1: And then we get to where the grass was up top.
Speaker 1: She was being grouchy. She kept complaining about everything, and
Speaker 1: I told her, I'm like, you know, you're just complaining NonStop,
Speaker 1: right And she's like, I'm sorry, it's just too damn
Speaker 1: hot to take a walk. We came back to the
Speaker 1: A C. And she was her wonderful self again. That's
Speaker 1: how hot it's been here. It's been been nasty. And
Speaker 1: a few more, few more weeks ago by Halloween. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe by Halloween. All right, let's see here, all right,
Speaker 1: come back. It's Kevin is in Rockford, Illinois. So back
Speaker 1: to back, belly to belly, Kevin and Kansas. Now Kevin
Speaker 1: and Rockford, Illinois a regular. It's like Kevin and Kevin
Speaker 1: is like a law firm or a morning show. Are
Speaker 1: you coming and coming in the morning? And Kevin, we'll
Speaker 1: have traffic on the ones and fun on the twos.
Speaker 1: One thousand dollars up for grabs in ten minutes. This
Speaker 1: is a national contest anyway, Kevin in Illinois, who sends
Speaker 1: a really good questions quite a bit, just like Kevin
Speaker 1: and Kansas. He says, I'm heading back to Colorado next week.
Speaker 1: The hike. Another Colorado fourteener and just so Danny g
Speaker 1: does not feel left out, I will yet again change
Speaker 1: the name of the mountain and it shall be called
Speaker 1: Tinderroni Mountain. Can I have a request? Can please call
Speaker 1: it Tinderoni Tip, Tinderoni Tip Mountain, even better, Tinderoni Tip Mountain.
Speaker 1: Kevin says, we're camping out at the base of the
Speaker 1: mountain and I just bought a miniature black stone griddle
Speaker 1: to cook cook on a camp What do you guys
Speaker 1: recommend as a good camping meal. Oh that you're gonna
Speaker 1: love the griddle. Even those small griddles are great. The
Speaker 1: smash burger is wonderful on a griddle. It's it just
Speaker 1: takes some obviously some ground beef and make sure it's
Speaker 1: cold whatnot. But and you can use it like a
Speaker 1: pot to squish the burger down with a turkey burger.
Speaker 1: You can do that with a turkey burger too. I've
Speaker 1: done that. I've done ground turkey that works as well.
Speaker 1: I love the Philly cheese steak, which is probably not
Speaker 1: a good idea on a hike. But you can make
Speaker 1: breakfast foods omelets, bacon, anything your heart desires. I am
Speaker 1: all about the griddle. I have a Blackstone griddle. Dare
Speaker 1: you they're not an advertiser. They should be. I love
Speaker 1: I freaking love that thing. It's a wonderful thing. Kevin.
Speaker 1: Make sure it takes some good photos though, of the
Speaker 1: TENDERNI tips signed Tenderoni Tips Mountain and put put Danny
Speaker 1: g s Tenderoni Tips Mountain. That's a lot of writing. No,
Speaker 1: just call the tip since he's up at the top
Speaker 1: of it. Oh, there you go, yeah tip. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: and I think I saw that. But thank you Kevin,
Speaker 1: Good luck, safe travels, enjoy you stay at the top
Speaker 1: of the mountain. If I hiked to the top of
Speaker 1: the mountain, I would not want to leave the top
Speaker 1: of the mountain. I just want to stay there and
Speaker 1: be like, all right, this is a lot of work.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna hang out here. You've got mail, all right.
Speaker 1: Next up we go to Mike in Wisconsin. He says, hey, guys,
Speaker 1: would you rather give up air conditioning and heating for
Speaker 1: the rest of your life or give up the Internet
Speaker 1: for the rest of your life? Well, this is interesting.
Speaker 1: I think we just talked about Dottie, who does not
Speaker 1: lives her life. She does not have the internet. She
Speaker 1: hates this show hates me. I gotta tell you, I
Speaker 1: am so in the internet world for work. Like, if
Speaker 1: I didn't have this job, I probably wouldn't really worry
Speaker 1: that much about it. If I had like a job
Speaker 1: where I didn't need to worry about being updated on stuff.
Speaker 1: But the Internet is everything. The Internet is radio, it's television,
Speaker 1: it's movies, it's everything. You'd have to give up all
Speaker 1: of that about just giving up the Internet for one
Speaker 1: season because I don't care about the heater. I don't
Speaker 1: use the heater, not where we live. Yeah, you don't
Speaker 1: really need that. No, I need the A C though badly. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I already I don't know about you. I
Speaker 1: already run hot. So when it gets super hot outside
Speaker 1: then I'm a mess. Like I don't want to be
Speaker 1: out there where that sun is blazing down on you.
Speaker 1: I need to find that air conditioning or some shade. Yeah, so, Mike,
Speaker 1: would I rather? I would rather give up the heating
Speaker 1: and the air conditioning if I had to make that
Speaker 1: Sophie's choice call than the Internet. But my life would
Speaker 1: be so much more uncomfortable. Although at the same time,
Speaker 1: we've heard so many stories over the years, Danny that
Speaker 1: like washing In d c. They call it the swamp.
Speaker 1: We love big Ben. Big Ben's a friend of mine.
Speaker 1: The reason they called it the swamp originally because it
Speaker 1: was oppressively hot and humid like a swamp. It still is,
Speaker 1: but the politicians now they call it the swamp because
Speaker 1: of the politicians, but they The worst thing that happened
Speaker 1: for politics is the air conditioning. Because everyone used to
Speaker 1: get out of Washington, d c uh in the summertime
Speaker 1: because it was so nasty and it was just horrible.
Speaker 1: And our friend Marlin's man told me the story about
Speaker 1: how in in Florida it was the same thing that
Speaker 1: it was. Real estate was cheap. Nobody wanted to live
Speaker 1: in Florida because it was so nasty most of the
Speaker 1: year with the humidity, and people could not handle it.
Speaker 1: From the north, the northerners that would come down. And
Speaker 1: then once air conditioning became a thing, suddenly it didn't
Speaker 1: matter anymore and people would just Conditioning also helped build
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. That's right. There is no lost Las Vegas
Speaker 1: without without that, all right. The next up Chris in Marraccata, Iowa.
Speaker 1: He says, guys, what was the most embarrassing moment you
Speaker 1: had in high school? Well, there are there are so
Speaker 1: many nightmare moments in high school, Like how do you
Speaker 1: sum up one one moment in time? I have very
Speaker 1: uh troubling memories of the fitness test in football, trying
Speaker 1: to beat a certain time and having to do it
Speaker 1: over and over again. Well, all my teammates are like,
Speaker 1: you fat ass, what's wrong with you? That was a
Speaker 1: that was a nightmare. And then there were some like
Speaker 1: random things, awkward moments with girls in high school where
Speaker 1: you're I was. I was very shy, I'm introvert then
Speaker 1: and it was very weird and uh so anything in particular, Danny,
Speaker 1: though you you remember from high school that you haven't
Speaker 1: recently told that. He Yeah, it was my sophomore year
Speaker 1: and I was in the Electronics r OP program. She
Speaker 1: was a freshman. I was a sophomore, and she would
Speaker 1: flirt with me in that class every day. And there
Speaker 1: was a separate class attached where they actually had old
Speaker 1: TVs and things like that for us to use the
Speaker 1: soldering irons on and in that little room. She and
Speaker 1: I went back there and uh, we were grinding, We
Speaker 1: were doing some things we shouldn't have been doing on
Speaker 1: school hours, and the electronics teacher walked in and caught us,
Speaker 1: and I thought for sure he was going to call
Speaker 1: my mom. I was embarrassed because of what he caught
Speaker 1: us doing. Then it was you acting like you were
Speaker 1: in an A's game or a Blue Jay's game. No,
Speaker 1: it wasn't anything that torrid, but it was let's just
Speaker 1: say it was R. Kelly his hit song Up and Grind. Okay,
Speaker 1: I felt like at any moment he could pick up
Speaker 1: the phone and call my mom and get me in trouble.
Speaker 1: That's the one memory that comes to mind where I
Speaker 1: was embarrassed about something. Although she was good looking, I
Speaker 1: wasn't embarrassed about that part. It was just what he
Speaker 1: caught us doing red handed. He could have held that
Speaker 1: over your head the entire I guess. Yeah, he could
Speaker 1: have blackmailed me. He actually lived two blocks away from us,
Speaker 1: and so my mom she met him, and she knew
Speaker 1: him because my older brother was in his electronics class.
Speaker 1: So I don't want to say he was a friend
Speaker 1: of the family, but he definitely knew my mom well
Speaker 1: enough to where he could have talked to her and
Speaker 1: got me busted. Wow. So okay, that's good. So that's
Speaker 1: a cool He didn't do it though. Yeah, thank you
Speaker 1: Mr Hoskins for not getting me grounded for a month. Now,
Speaker 1: kids are gonna be kids, right are you gonna You're
Speaker 1: gonna do stuff as long as you don't cross certain lines.
Speaker 1: You gotta live your life. Why not? All right? Next
Speaker 1: up is Eric from Parts Unknown. He says, Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: what I guess this is for me? What is the
Speaker 1: most unprepared you've ever been for a show? And how
Speaker 1: did you get through it? Yeah? So I over prepare Eric.
Speaker 1: But there have been times a few times over the
Speaker 1: years where I've been at the studio, I've been on
Speaker 1: my way out and who whoever was supposed to do
Speaker 1: the show next they couldn't connect to their studio and
Speaker 1: so they're like, hey, can you start the morning show?
Speaker 1: And I'd be like, okay, hello, hello, and but I
Speaker 1: don't have any but sero. So often I just kind
Speaker 1: of rehash stuff that I've done. There have been times
Speaker 1: where I've put some notes down. Usually the way it
Speaker 1: works is I I go to my my home studio,
Speaker 1: my office, and I'll prepare for the show, and then
Speaker 1: when I go oheen, I'll email myself. So I have everything,
Speaker 1: and then I'll print everything up on the company dime,
Speaker 1: and that's how we do things. And so sometimes though,
Speaker 1: I was in such a rush to get out that
Speaker 1: I forgot to actually send the email that had all
Speaker 1: my notes for the show, and so I just had
Speaker 1: to kind of wing it. And the weird thing I've
Speaker 1: noticed is that when I've had that happen, has happened
Speaker 1: a few times where I've not really been prepared the
Speaker 1: way I should be, nobody really seems to notice. It's
Speaker 1: like nobody like I guess I'm able to fake it
Speaker 1: till you make it, or I've done it enough that
Speaker 1: it's I'm able to do it. I don't. I don't figure.
Speaker 1: I don't prefer to do that. I like to have preparation.
Speaker 1: I don't want to I don't want to just wing
Speaker 1: it totally, because you know, people give up the most
Speaker 1: valuable thing they have to listen to radio and or
Speaker 1: have it be a part of your life, and I
Speaker 1: feel it's it's wrong to do it. Now, there are
Speaker 1: plenty of people that do it that way. I don't
Speaker 1: like to do it, but it has happened. Eric. To
Speaker 1: answer your question, to my to my knowledge, no one's
Speaker 1: ever said. I've never got an email saying, hey, you
Speaker 1: didn't do the normal thing you normally do because I
Speaker 1: I'm able to still present a similar product just in
Speaker 1: my head, in my neurosis. It's not as good as
Speaker 1: it could be. All right, what is next? We have
Speaker 1: a Shane in Texas. He writes, and he says, if
Speaker 1: you had one wish from a genie in a bottle,
Speaker 1: and you could only pick one, would you rather have?
Speaker 1: And I guess it's these two things Shane is saying,
Speaker 1: not Genie and mentor, but Genie like a genie in
Speaker 1: about I said, but these are the only two things
Speaker 1: you got to pick from. Would you rather have perfect
Speaker 1: teeth or perfect hair? All right? So for me this
Speaker 1: is easy maybe for both of us. I don't know
Speaker 1: the hair thing because I don't I don't really notice,
Speaker 1: Like if you have really nasty teeth, I guess I'll notice,
Speaker 1: But I don't really like stare at people's teeth. But
Speaker 1: it's hard to avoid hair because it's you see it.
Speaker 1: I wear hats all the time because my hair is
Speaker 1: thanks to my my my grandparents and my grandfather or whatever.
Speaker 1: It's it's gone. Yeah, like he I guess I would pay.
Speaker 1: I would pick if my genie in a bottle could
Speaker 1: only give me one of those two things, I would
Speaker 1: pick flowing locks. That's what I would pick. Danny, I
Speaker 1: like Sampson, I would be with the locks. What about
Speaker 1: you now? Back when you were dating? And I mean, man,
Speaker 1: I I know that was a period in your life
Speaker 1: where you had a lot going on, but were you
Speaker 1: would it bother you if a girl had a jacked
Speaker 1: up grill or like her hair was thinning, because I
Speaker 1: think the jacked up grill is worse. Yeah. See, well
Speaker 1: that's a different I'm talking about. Yeah, I guess in dating. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But like I like, what do I really care if
Speaker 1: my buddy Jimmy has messed up teeth? You know, give
Speaker 1: a crap. I'm not gonna kiss him. You pay me
Speaker 1: five dollars, I'll endorse a game magazine. Uh so it
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter to me. Um yeah, I mean I'm
Speaker 1: with you. For us, the fabio here would be amazing, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I think we already have some decent teeth for
Speaker 1: anyone listening in England right now. Sorry not to take
Speaker 1: a shot at you, not the stereotype, but yeah, but
Speaker 1: they're known for some teeth that maybe needs some dental work.
Speaker 1: I guess I agree with you, But I also think
Speaker 1: about that question and I turn it around, like, is
Speaker 1: that a physical trait people would pay attention to when
Speaker 1: they're dating? Yeah, that that would not be Uh, what's
Speaker 1: the word I'm looking for, a DGAC or whatever, the
Speaker 1: afrodza afrodesiac. Yeah, that's the word I was looking for.
Speaker 1: Easier for me to say. But but yeah, that would
Speaker 1: not enhance the situation. And but on your second date,
Speaker 1: you could take her to the dentist. Yes, I have
Speaker 1: a great dentist. I want to recommend. You're really gonna
Speaker 1: like this dentist. Oh man, is this a great dentist?
Speaker 1: I got one hell of an orthodonist on my payroll. Baby,
Speaker 1: all right, no way, Jose rights and he says, if
Speaker 1: you can be reincarnated, but only as an animal, any animal,
Speaker 1: when you die, what would you want to be? All right?
Speaker 1: So if you come back to the same planet, I
Speaker 1: guess I would pick like a blue whale. Don't they
Speaker 1: live to be like two hundred years old? Or a
Speaker 1: tortoise or something like that. Although I guess if you're
Speaker 1: a blue whale, you don't want to go through some
Speaker 1: of the h I guess I'll stereotype here some of
Speaker 1: the countries where they're in in the Asian countries where
Speaker 1: they love to hunt the whales, right, harpoon the whales
Speaker 1: and all that. Don't they fry up the whale peoples. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a culinary delight. I think. I don't
Speaker 1: think you're I don't think you're kidding. I think they're
Speaker 1: like every part of the whale is very, very valuable.
Speaker 1: But I so I'd be in the ocean, but i'd
Speaker 1: avoid the whalers. Not the Hartford Whalers, the old hockey team,
Speaker 1: but the whalers. I would what animal would you be, Danny,
Speaker 1: If you could be any animal reincarnated, you're coming back
Speaker 1: and you're out there doing your thing. I would definitely
Speaker 1: want to come back as the king of the jungle.
Speaker 1: I would. I would be a lion for sure, all right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: nobody picks like a cockroach. No one's like, I want
Speaker 1: to come back and I want to be an aunt.
Speaker 1: I want to be a worker aunt or a worker
Speaker 1: b No one ever picks that. They always pick whale, lion, tiger, rhino, hippo,
Speaker 1: you name if I was a hippo, I would be
Speaker 1: the hungry hippo. I would definitely be the hungry hippo.
Speaker 1: You'd be the fasting hippo. Yeah, exactly. Well, if I
Speaker 1: was living the life I'm living now, Barry in Nashville
Speaker 1: rights and he says, yo yo, mob, Benny. Have you
Speaker 1: ever watched the show Naked and Afraid on Discover Channel?
Speaker 1: Discovery Channel, I have not. Have you seen that show? Danny? Oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've seen a couple of seasons of it, all right,
Speaker 1: he says, if not. It's where they drop off two
Speaker 1: contestants into a remote location where the contestants have no
Speaker 1: clothes and can only bring one survival item a knife,
Speaker 1: a fishing line, et cetera of their choice. They then
Speaker 1: have to fend for themselves for food and building a shelter.
Speaker 1: The contest typically last for twenty one days. They then
Speaker 1: they hike out and considered to have complete completed the
Speaker 1: challenge if they make it to the end of the
Speaker 1: twenty one days. The question is who from your crew
Speaker 1: would make it the longest and how many minutes, hours,
Speaker 1: or days would they last? Man? All right, So there
Speaker 1: was a show that I used to watch where this
Speaker 1: guy would land in a place remote area, but he'd
Speaker 1: be dropped off by himself and then he'd record everything.
Speaker 1: But that's not naked and afraid. This was This was
Speaker 1: They wasn't naked. This is something else. There's another great
Speaker 1: show you could watch on Netflix right now called A
Speaker 1: Loan where different contestants get dropped off somewhere where it's crazy,
Speaker 1: crazy environment. But they're they're wearing clothes, but they're by
Speaker 1: themselves and they have to fend for food and try
Speaker 1: to outlast all of the other contestants on that same island.
Speaker 1: So it's pretty cool. But for your staff, Ben, I'm
Speaker 1: trying to think, who could really make it out there
Speaker 1: in the in the wilderness if there's no drive through
Speaker 1: his coop would not make it. Roberto would probably be
Speaker 1: okay cooking wise, he'd be able to cook. But then
Speaker 1: you gotta kill and cook him. Yeah, you have to
Speaker 1: catch fish too, that's the key. The ones who made
Speaker 1: it the longest on the Loan are the ones who
Speaker 1: are able to catch fish. It's very difficult without a
Speaker 1: fishing line to catch a fish though with your bare hands.
Speaker 1: If you don't, they made contraptions they put together like
Speaker 1: a Jerry rigged fishing net to catch fish overnight, then
Speaker 1: you gotta gut the fish and that whole thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and those bamboo contraptions where you know the fish can
Speaker 1: fit in but then can't get out. Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 1: So I answer your question. I would go with you,
Speaker 1: Danny G. I think you do okay, because you've watched
Speaker 1: the show, so you know what to do with you.
Speaker 1: I could build a fort, that's for sure, and I
Speaker 1: think I would be able to catch a couple of fish.
Speaker 1: There you go. You got that going for you. I'd
Speaker 1: have no chance. I would just say, okay, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna eat for twenty one days. I'll go to Keynes.
Speaker 1: When I get back, I'll have the candy at Combo.
Speaker 1: I'm good to go. Thank you, Verry. I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: The next one from Pierre, try to pick up the
Speaker 1: pacer a little bit, Pierre says, writing from my safe space,
Speaker 1: He says, cuddling my therapy dog with one arm and
Speaker 1: clutching my crayons and crushing the keys with the other.
Speaker 1: Danny G mentioned the Nerve football during last week's mailbag,
Speaker 1: and this got me feeling nostalgic for toys from my youth,
Speaker 1: did either of you have and it's a football? Growing up,
Speaker 1: this was a soft rubber football that you could throw
Speaker 1: super tight spirals with as well as further than a
Speaker 1: NERF football. Also, did you guys have any other toys
Speaker 1: that you enjoyed? Possibly ones that your friends had that
Speaker 1: you didn't always also wanting to go over to their
Speaker 1: house to play. Maybe we be weebls, ben, he says,
Speaker 1: because they wobble and they don't fall down. Well, I
Speaker 1: did see the wee bol you sent a photo here,
Speaker 1: and I have. I have seen those. I don't recall
Speaker 1: playing with them as a as a kid. I remember
Speaker 1: seeing them though as a kid. So is that Have
Speaker 1: you ever heard of the what he called it, the
Speaker 1: it's a football? No, and I looked it up right now.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not sure what he's referring to. My older
Speaker 1: brother and I we had a Los Angeles Raiders football
Speaker 1: and it was it was almost like jelly like, if
Speaker 1: that makes sense the material it was made out of. Huh.
Speaker 1: It felt like it was filled with gel and you
Speaker 1: could chuck that thing far. Yeah, I'm looking at the
Speaker 1: the it's a ball and it does. Actually, it does
Speaker 1: remind me of something I had as a as a kid.
Speaker 1: It does remind me of that, so I'm gonna go yes,
Speaker 1: I didn't know the name of it, though, How did
Speaker 1: you know the name of Pierre. What's the name of it?
Speaker 1: I t z A this type of it's a ball
Speaker 1: or it's a football or you know, one of those,
Speaker 1: and it does look like a nerve product, but it's
Speaker 1: not a nerve product. It's similar to Yeah, that look familiar. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we we had those when we're around the same age.
Speaker 1: We had those as far as like games and towards
Speaker 1: nothing off the top of my head. Most of my childhood,
Speaker 1: even though I was the fat kid, we went out
Speaker 1: and played stickball in the name ro We played baseball.
Speaker 1: We had we used tennis balls or racquet balls, and
Speaker 1: we'd play with the neighborhood kids. We had great fun.
Speaker 1: We'd run through the orange groves and have fights orange fights.
Speaker 1: And you haven't lived until you've been hit by an orange.
Speaker 1: And you haven't lived until you've been chased by soldiers
Speaker 1: who are drinking in the orange groves from the local
Speaker 1: military base. You really haven't lived your life until you've
Speaker 1: done those things. Next up Mike from Home and not
Speaker 1: gridlocked traffic, apparently not in Fullerton anymore. He says, I
Speaker 1: have an original question for you. It might not be
Speaker 1: a very good one, but at least I didn't steal
Speaker 1: it from another podcast like Pierre did last week, Wow
Speaker 1: Shots Fire. He says, do either of you have a
Speaker 1: memorable story about losing a tooth? For me, it's when
Speaker 1: I didn't notice one of my baby teeth came out
Speaker 1: while biting into a Rocky Road ice cream corner. I
Speaker 1: accidentally ate it. Yeah. No, I was eating Tito's tacos
Speaker 1: as a I was a grown up person, and I
Speaker 1: bit into the taco and I felt my tooth kind
Speaker 1: of like a little bit of a crack. That's a
Speaker 1: bad feeling. That's the world. And then you're like, how
Speaker 1: bad is it? Maybe I'm imagining it, Maybe it was
Speaker 1: something in the taco, and yeah, that was bad. Any
Speaker 1: memorable stories about losing a tooth? Danny? I do remember
Speaker 1: that my mom did that old trick with my older
Speaker 1: brother where she was trying to tie the dental floss
Speaker 1: onto his loose tooth, and she pulled the line and
Speaker 1: I think she was attempting maybe to tie it to
Speaker 1: a door knob and I didn't know what they were doing,
Speaker 1: so I came running into the room. You know, um
Speaker 1: three years younger than him, So I'm wild. I don't
Speaker 1: know what they're doing, and I come running into the room,
Speaker 1: and I ran into the line inadvertently pulled his tooth out.
Speaker 1: He was bleeding at the mouth, screaming and yelling at
Speaker 1: me for for violently pulling his tooth out. That is
Speaker 1: that is horrible when you're not prepared for it. Oh man.
Speaker 1: I think my mom was trying to be funny with
Speaker 1: her whole dental faust thing, and I came in and
Speaker 1: spoiled their fun great, not for him. Uh, that's that's funny. Uh,
Speaker 1: John and Northern Colorado rights in John says, have you
Speaker 1: ever explained to your lady that you have the toilet
Speaker 1: seat up because she's just going to lift it anyway
Speaker 1: to check for spiders? Ah, he says, I think that's
Speaker 1: more like for Cooper Loop. I think that might be well,
Speaker 1: Coop's actually the one should leave the toilet seat up
Speaker 1: because he for the spiders and all that, and uh,
Speaker 1: thank you, John Glass One. Joe from New York says,
Speaker 1: what's worse doing the dishes or the laundry, so this
Speaker 1: is easy. I'm the dishwasher, Joe. I'm the professional dishwasher.
Speaker 1: That's my job. I feel a great sense of satisfaction
Speaker 1: when I washed the dishes. I feel like I've accomplished something.
Speaker 1: I love a big sink full of dishes and then
Speaker 1: methodically going through the dishes and putting them, you know,
Speaker 1: rinching them all off, and then putting them in the
Speaker 1: dishwasher and arranging. It's like a jigsaw puzzle to get
Speaker 1: everything in the dishwasher. So I love that. And the
Speaker 1: laundry thing. Here's my take on laundry, Danny. I don't
Speaker 1: mind washing and drawing the laundry. I hate putting laundry away.
Speaker 1: So that's my my, my problem with laundry. What about you, quickly, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we know what your exercise bike in your treadmill looks like.
Speaker 1: Of course, um yeah, I mean you and my Tinderoni
Speaker 1: are a bunch of freaks when it comes to dishes,
Speaker 1: because dishes suck. Um. I would much rather do laundry.
Speaker 1: The problem is, I'm fine with the washing. Taking it
Speaker 1: out of the hot dryer really bothers me because instantly
Speaker 1: you start sweating and so the heat of the dryer
Speaker 1: bothers me. But I would still rather do laundry well
Speaker 1: and then. But also you have the link guard. You've
Speaker 1: got to make sure otherwise you'll have a fire. Right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: very imported advice there on the podcast. Thank you. I'm
