WEBVTT - The Fifth Hour: "Blue Whale Balls" Mail Bag 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:05.480 Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a 0:00:05.480 --> 0:00:09.240 week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of 0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.920 the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats 0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:15.800 crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich 0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:20.200 pill poppers in the penthouse the Clearinghouse of hot takes 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:24.080 break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben 0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:33.720 Maller starts right now in the air everywhere and welcome 0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:38.839 into the mail Bag edition of The Fifth Hour with 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:45.040 Ben Maller and Danny G. Radio. Now, since this is 0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:50.680 a podcast and we don't announce when we're recording the podcast, 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:55.600 there are no calls like the phones even though they ring, Danny, 0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:58.760 we're not we're not answering the phone. Maybe at some 0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:01.639 point we'll do that. We'll figure out a way logistically, 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:04.520 there are ways to do it. But we have the mailbag. 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:09.039 It is our chance to interact with you, the listeners, 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.000 and let's get right into it. Danny G, what do 0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:14.240 you say, do you have it? Do announced before we 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:17.240 get into it? No, just your thought about the phones there. 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:19.800 People spend way too much damn time on their phones. 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:23.400 Unless you're using your phone to listen to this podcast, 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:27.880 then it's okay. Yes, And I did meet some people people. 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:32.240 I mentioned Dottie from the Friday podcast and she does 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:37.319 not have email. She does not have a computer. Dotty 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.720 told me that. I said, why don't you, I'll email. 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:43.800 I think I was gonna email or something, and Dottie's like, no, no, 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.360 I go to the library. That's how I used the 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.720 computer at the library. Can you imagine, Danny, how much 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:53.160 more difficult would our lives be with what we do. 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:55.840 We would all have meltdowns if we did not have 0:01:56.480 --> 0:02:00.000 access to a computer. And when you have a smartphone 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:04.360 on it, you've got a radio, you've got a television, 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:08.919 you've got a computer. They can spy on you. Big 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.520 brother can spy on you at any moment. They know 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:17.080 where you are, the shopping cart. It's exactly. It is 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:20.680 one of the great conveniences. And I don't know, maybe 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.960 financially she can't afford that. I have no idea, but listen, 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.400 you listen, however you listen. That's how people get hookers 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:31.400 in cocaine. Bunch of hookers and cocaine. Whether you whether 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:37.160 you listen on terrestrial radio regular regularly. I did see 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:41.840 Danny Fox Sports Radio upgrading our affiliate in San Diego, 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:46.120 the San Diego market. Poppy actually told me this on 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:49.760 the air the other night. We went from thirteen sixty 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:53.560 on the AM dial to seven sixty on the amw 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.680 which is great. It's a much more powerful station in 0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:02.320 San Diego. And so they flipped the conservative talk station, 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:06.680 the Patriot San Diego version, that went to the higher 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:09.280 frequency and we went on the lower frequency. So that 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.040 was kind of cool. But the problem with San Diego radio, 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.000 and I know this when I worked in San Diego, 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:19.080 is that the transmitters are all pretty powerful, but they're 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:23.680 facing the Pacific Ocean. So you're broadcasting if only blue 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:27.480 books blue whales, rather if only blue whales, dolphins, seals, 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:33.560 uh fish, schools of fish, yes, and guys working on 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:37.240 oil rigs, if only they could be credited with listening 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.640 to the programming, the audience would be much bigger. Now. 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:42.240 That was one of the great things about working at 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:45.600 a border blaster station that was not governed by the FCC, 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:51.960 because the mighty six ninety was booming just the same 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:56.440 but different. It was booming across the United States as 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.360 opposed to out to the Pacific Ocean, so little inside 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:03.320 radio mumbo jumbo and all that. But let's get to 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:07.120 the mailbag right now, and our buddy, ohio Wow, it's 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:23.000 mail bag, all right, thank you for that, Ohio Wow. 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:26.840 And let's see who is first. I got mail, Yeah, 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:31.159 I got mail. Yeah. Reminder, if you want to be 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.080 part of the mailbag, you don't have to wait for 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.520 me to post something on Facebook. I do it every 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.919 Monday or Tuesday, usually in the afternoon, sometimes in the 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:41.880 morning on the Facebook page. I'll put a funny gift 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.680 on there, and then you can submit a question or 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:46.640 you can just email me right now. You don't have 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:49.679 to wait if you have a witty question, something about 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:52.600 the show, something about something that has happened in the past. 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.000 Danny G. You want to ask him what his life's 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.359 like my life. You want to ask Danny G what 0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.640 it's like to be in a school and being around 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.640 kids all the time. Uh, ask me what it's like 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:04.880 to have no life and not do anything other than radio. 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.560 You can ask me any of those questions and Danny 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:11.320 Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Make sure to 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:13.560 spell it out Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.760 First one comes from Cliff from Nashville's has Been and 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:20.520 Danny G. Y'all said, I was pranking you with the 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:24.359 broom straw checking the rightness of a watermelon. Have you 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:27.719 have you had the opportunity to try it? Uh? And 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.279 he also says, please Ben, take the West of the 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.599 four oh five off your podcast promos and replace it 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:37.880 with Danny G. He is worthy. Al right. So as 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.599 far as the podcast promo thing, I don't know anything 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:43.919 about that, Danny, I'm not sure how that works. I 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.760 think I Heart has an old version of the promo. 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.719 They've been sticking it in some of the podcasts. Yeah, 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.840 so it's away from what we do. Unfortunately, we're not 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:56.360 in charge of that. Well, that is his disrespect. That's 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.760 not right. There has to be away. I know this 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:00.720 is a major bureauqu to see and there's a lot 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:03.359 of layers at iHeart Media, but there has to be 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:06.640 a way that we can get rid of that. There's 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:10.479 some central command that we can go to and just 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.440 simply trade out the old promo for the new promo. 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.400 We could record a new promo, Danny. I'm willing to 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:19.320 do that. We can write some new copy. I I 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:21.880 believe I am capable of doing that. We can come 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.560 up with some new dogma and toss it in there 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:29.479 and boom, it'll be unfreaking believable. Danny. Yeah, we talk 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:31.640 for all these hours. I think we're okay to talk 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:35.280 for thirty seconds. Yeah. Well, of course, it's like it's 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.880 like the difference between television and radio. Like people that 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.520 do television and go to radio have a much harder 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:45.320 time typically than people that go from radio to television 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:50.599 because it's a whole different skill set in terms of 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:54.040 the amount of time. Ask Pat O'Brien p o b 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:58.120 who's been on this podcast, the Great Pat O'Brien. Anyway, 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.479 as far as the watermelon thing, I have not check 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:04.800 the watermelon. I have stuck to my original watermelon technique 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:08.200 where you look for the watermelon that's all scratched up 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.800 because that's that's the sweetest watermelon, because the bugs were 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:13.640 trying to get into the critters were trying to get 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.960 into the watermelon. So that's what I do. Have you 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.800 have you, Danny, been able to try the broom straw 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:24.400 technique for the water from our past conversations, I also 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:26.200 now have been looking for the ones that are the 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:30.800 most scratched up, and has that worked for you? Yeah? Okay, 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:34.000 my TENDERNI picked out a watermelon just a week ago, 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.119 and it looked all scratched up, and it was bright 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:42.960 red inside and juicy and over me had enough sweetness 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.720 to it. It was perfect. It's a great life hack 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:50.360 because most people don't know it, and they would avoid 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.560 those watermelons because they think there's something wrong with and 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:57.000 they look beat up. The simpleton will say, no, no, no, 0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:02.400 that's a cautionary watermelon. Do not do not touch that watermelon. 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:06.760 That's there's storm clouds around that watermelon. And we know better, 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.920 all right. I next up on there the mail bag. 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:17.840 These are actual messages by actual lists. Mr Luciano says, Hey, Ben, 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:21.520 no question, Yeah, no question asked for you and Danny G. 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.640 I just want to say thank you. Mr Luciano says, 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:27.200 thanks again. It was a pleasure meeting both of you. 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:31.680 Great times. Keep doing what you doubt well. Thank you, 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:37.320 Mr Luciano. A fine night we had together that we 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:41.280 will remember, and I'm sure you you remember. Mr Luciano. 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:44.400 It was great meeting you, and I'm glad you were 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.280 able to make it and hang out and you stayed 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:50.000 long enough for Danny and the whole the whole deal 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:53.360 you've got mail, Kevin and Kansas writes, and he says, 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:56.400 dear Ben and Danny, g with your recent car issues, 0:08:56.480 --> 0:09:00.120 have either of you gone for walks recently or has 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.880 life been too busy for that right now? Ben, is 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.959 your new area just as nice for walking as the 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.640 old place? So I answer that one first. Kevin. First 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.120 of all, I hope live Street in ull. Kevin is 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:14.400 a teacher as well, Danny, so he's in the education world. 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.640 Where I live now, Kevin, there's actually more trails to walk. 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:23.679 It's an amazing place where I where I reside, and 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:26.480 I've done a little bit of it lately. I'm not 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:29.760 gonna lie. It's been too hot and I just haven't 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:34.360 been able to to get out and wander the trails 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:36.480 and whatnot. I hope to get back to that. I 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:41.520 love going on nature hikes. I love walking to like waterfalls. 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.360 There's a great one up in Pasadena, in the Pasadena 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.840 area of southern California. Danny, I don't know if you've 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:51.640 done any of that hiking to waterfalls, but it's it's 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:56.400 pretty cool. There's a a bridge that goes to nowhere, 0:09:56.440 --> 0:10:00.520 the bridge to Nowhere, which is out above Azuza in 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.800 southern California. I'd like to go there at some point. 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:07.079 But I like stuff like that. But I answer your question, Kevin, 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:10.520 I have not really done much of that recently. I 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:14.240 have been going to the gym. My treadmill, my dear 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:17.960 beloved treadmill is covered in dust, and at some point 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:21.040 the crowd will go wild because that thing will work again. 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:27.040 Just be careful with that bridge to nowhere, because everybody 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:30.600 in southern California knows that's where the chakra lives. Oh 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:38.040 is that right? Uh? The boogeyman. You gotta watch out 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.720 for the boogeyman. What about you, Danny? You have told 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:43.880 stories about how you've gone. You have the e bike, 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:45.800 You've done a little bit of that. But have you 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:50.000 been wandering the mean streets of the valley. It was 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.640 two weekends ago. I tried to take a Saturday morning 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:56.440 walk after I finished post production of the podcast. I 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:58.800 told my TENDERRONI, I'll go out with you. As she 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.680 was walking the dog dog Daisy, who looks like a 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:06.160 squirrel ear. She had to pick Daisy up because it 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.679 was hot. Her dog he didn't want to touch the concrete. 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:12.520 And then we get to where the grass was up top. 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:16.880 She was being grouchy. She kept complaining about everything, and 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.600 I told her, I'm like, you know, you're just complaining NonStop, 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:22.160 right And she's like, I'm sorry, it's just too damn 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:26.040 hot to take a walk. We came back to the 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.920 A C. And she was her wonderful self again. That's 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:33.200 how hot it's been here. It's been been nasty. And 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:37.880 a few more, few more weeks ago by Halloween. Yeah, 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:42.160 maybe maybe by Halloween. All right, let's see here, all right, 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:48.000 come back. It's Kevin is in Rockford, Illinois. So back 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:50.720 to back, belly to belly, Kevin and Kansas. Now Kevin 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:54.440 and Rockford, Illinois a regular. It's like Kevin and Kevin 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:58.080 is like a law firm or a morning show. Are 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.800 you coming and coming in the morning? And Kevin, we'll 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:03.880 have traffic on the ones and fun on the twos. 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:07.480 One thousand dollars up for grabs in ten minutes. This 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:15.120 is a national contest anyway, Kevin in Illinois, who sends 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.120 a really good questions quite a bit, just like Kevin 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:20.800 and Kansas. He says, I'm heading back to Colorado next week. 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:25.640 The hike. Another Colorado fourteener and just so Danny g 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:28.520 does not feel left out, I will yet again change 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:31.920 the name of the mountain and it shall be called 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:37.000 Tinderroni Mountain. Can I have a request? Can please call 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:42.680 it Tinderoni Tip, Tinderoni Tip Mountain, even better, Tinderoni Tip Mountain. 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.040 Kevin says, we're camping out at the base of the 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:49.679 mountain and I just bought a miniature black stone griddle 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.920 to cook cook on a camp What do you guys 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:59.199 recommend as a good camping meal. Oh that you're gonna 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:03.280 love the griddle. Even those small griddles are great. The 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:07.800 smash burger is wonderful on a griddle. It's it just 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:10.880 takes some obviously some ground beef and make sure it's 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.679 cold whatnot. But and you can use it like a 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:17.200 pot to squish the burger down with a turkey burger. 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:19.000 You can do that with a turkey burger too. I've 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:22.600 done that. I've done ground turkey that works as well. 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:26.520 I love the Philly cheese steak, which is probably not 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:28.480 a good idea on a hike. But you can make 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:34.880 breakfast foods omelets, bacon, anything your heart desires. I am 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:40.000 all about the griddle. I have a Blackstone griddle. Dare 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:45.640 you they're not an advertiser. They should be. I love 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:49.280 I freaking love that thing. It's a wonderful thing. Kevin. 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.240 Make sure it takes some good photos though, of the 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:56.440 TENDERNI tips signed Tenderoni Tips Mountain and put put Danny 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.400 g s Tenderoni Tips Mountain. That's a lot of writing. No, 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:01.720 just call the tip since he's up at the top 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:05.400 of it. Oh, there you go, yeah tip. Yeah, all right, 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:11.240 and I think I saw that. But thank you Kevin, 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:15.360 Good luck, safe travels, enjoy you stay at the top 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:16.959 of the mountain. If I hiked to the top of 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:18.520 the mountain, I would not want to leave the top 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:19.800 of the mountain. I just want to stay there and 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:21.240 be like, all right, this is a lot of work. 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:25.400 I'm just gonna hang out here. You've got mail, all right. 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:30.120 Next up we go to Mike in Wisconsin. He says, hey, guys, 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:34.120 would you rather give up air conditioning and heating for 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:38.080 the rest of your life or give up the Internet 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:41.560 for the rest of your life? Well, this is interesting. 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:44.280 I think we just talked about Dottie, who does not 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:46.880 lives her life. She does not have the internet. She 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:50.480 hates this show hates me. I gotta tell you, I 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:54.880 am so in the internet world for work. Like, if 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.680 I didn't have this job, I probably wouldn't really worry 0:14:57.720 --> 0:14:59.120 that much about it. If I had like a job 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:02.520 where I didn't need to worry about being updated on stuff. 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:06.720 But the Internet is everything. The Internet is radio, it's television, 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.920 it's movies, it's everything. You'd have to give up all 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:13.520 of that about just giving up the Internet for one 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.200 season because I don't care about the heater. I don't 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.520 use the heater, not where we live. Yeah, you don't 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:24.240 really need that. No, I need the A C though badly. Yeah. 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:27.320 Oh man, I already I don't know about you. I 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:31.080 already run hot. So when it gets super hot outside 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:34.080 then I'm a mess. Like I don't want to be 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:37.080 out there where that sun is blazing down on you. 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:41.960 I need to find that air conditioning or some shade. Yeah, so, Mike, 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:46.720 would I rather? I would rather give up the heating 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.240 and the air conditioning if I had to make that 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:53.880 Sophie's choice call than the Internet. But my life would 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:56.480 be so much more uncomfortable. Although at the same time, 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:58.520 we've heard so many stories over the years, Danny that 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:02.320 like washing In d c. They call it the swamp. 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.320 We love big Ben. Big Ben's a friend of mine. 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:08.920 The reason they called it the swamp originally because it 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:13.840 was oppressively hot and humid like a swamp. It still is, 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:17.760 but the politicians now they call it the swamp because 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.080 of the politicians, but they The worst thing that happened 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:23.200 for politics is the air conditioning. Because everyone used to 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.760 get out of Washington, d c uh in the summertime 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:30.400 because it was so nasty and it was just horrible. 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:34.840 And our friend Marlin's man told me the story about 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:39.240 how in in Florida it was the same thing that 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:41.480 it was. Real estate was cheap. Nobody wanted to live 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:45.040 in Florida because it was so nasty most of the 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:49.440 year with the humidity, and people could not handle it. 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:53.000 From the north, the northerners that would come down. And 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:57.400 then once air conditioning became a thing, suddenly it didn't 0:16:57.440 --> 0:17:01.600 matter anymore and people would just Conditioning also helped build 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:05.680 Las Vegas. That's right. There is no lost Las Vegas 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:12.440 without without that, all right. The next up Chris in Marraccata, Iowa. 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:16.040 He says, guys, what was the most embarrassing moment you 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:20.520 had in high school? Well, there are there are so 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:24.720 many nightmare moments in high school, Like how do you 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:29.480 sum up one one moment in time? I have very 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:35.359 uh troubling memories of the fitness test in football, trying 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:38.840 to beat a certain time and having to do it 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:41.640 over and over again. Well, all my teammates are like, 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:44.440 you fat ass, what's wrong with you? That was a 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:46.439 that was a nightmare. And then there were some like 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:50.200 random things, awkward moments with girls in high school where 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:54.800 you're I was. I was very shy, I'm introvert then 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:58.879 and it was very weird and uh so anything in particular, Danny, 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:01.479 though you you remember from high school that you haven't 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:06.640 recently told that. He Yeah, it was my sophomore year 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:10.119 and I was in the Electronics r OP program. She 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:12.960 was a freshman. I was a sophomore, and she would 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:15.840 flirt with me in that class every day. And there 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:19.840 was a separate class attached where they actually had old 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:22.639 TVs and things like that for us to use the 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:27.040 soldering irons on and in that little room. She and 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:31.320 I went back there and uh, we were grinding, We 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:34.919 were doing some things we shouldn't have been doing on 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:40.280 school hours, and the electronics teacher walked in and caught us, 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:43.800 and I thought for sure he was going to call 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:47.240 my mom. I was embarrassed because of what he caught 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:50.280 us doing. Then it was you acting like you were 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:53.119 in an A's game or a Blue Jay's game. No, 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:57.359 it wasn't anything that torrid, but it was let's just 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:02.000 say it was R. Kelly his hit song Up and Grind. Okay, 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:04.159 I felt like at any moment he could pick up 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:06.520 the phone and call my mom and get me in trouble. 0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:09.560 That's the one memory that comes to mind where I 0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:12.600 was embarrassed about something. Although she was good looking, I 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:15.560 wasn't embarrassed about that part. It was just what he 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:20.040 caught us doing red handed. He could have held that 0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:24.480 over your head the entire I guess. Yeah, he could 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:27.760 have blackmailed me. He actually lived two blocks away from us, 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:31.400 and so my mom she met him, and she knew 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:34.959 him because my older brother was in his electronics class. 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:37.000 So I don't want to say he was a friend 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:40.000 of the family, but he definitely knew my mom well 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:41.919 enough to where he could have talked to her and 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:45.960 got me busted. Wow. So okay, that's good. So that's 0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:47.960 a cool He didn't do it though. Yeah, thank you 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:51.960 Mr Hoskins for not getting me grounded for a month. Now, 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:54.040 kids are gonna be kids, right are you gonna You're 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:56.920 gonna do stuff as long as you don't cross certain lines. 0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:01.280 You gotta live your life. Why not? All right? Next 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:06.240 up is Eric from Parts Unknown. He says, Hey, guys, 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:08.719 what I guess this is for me? What is the 0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:12.200 most unprepared you've ever been for a show? And how 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:16.080 did you get through it? Yeah? So I over prepare Eric. 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:19.720 But there have been times a few times over the 0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:21.760 years where I've been at the studio, I've been on 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:25.840 my way out and who whoever was supposed to do 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:30.080 the show next they couldn't connect to their studio and 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:32.560 so they're like, hey, can you start the morning show? 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:43.600 And I'd be like, okay, hello, hello, and but I 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:46.240 don't have any but sero. So often I just kind 0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:49.160 of rehash stuff that I've done. There have been times 0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:54.040 where I've put some notes down. Usually the way it 0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:56.359 works is I I go to my my home studio, 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:59.600 my office, and I'll prepare for the show, and then 0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:02.880 when I go oheen, I'll email myself. So I have everything, 0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:06.119 and then I'll print everything up on the company dime, 0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:10.160 and that's how we do things. And so sometimes though, 0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:11.919 I was in such a rush to get out that 0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:15.320 I forgot to actually send the email that had all 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:18.280 my notes for the show, and so I just had 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:21.160 to kind of wing it. And the weird thing I've 0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:24.119 noticed is that when I've had that happen, has happened 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:26.879 a few times where I've not really been prepared the 0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:30.320 way I should be, nobody really seems to notice. It's 0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:32.600 like nobody like I guess I'm able to fake it 0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:35.200 till you make it, or I've done it enough that 0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:38.680 it's I'm able to do it. I don't. I don't figure. 0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:42.160 I don't prefer to do that. I like to have preparation. 0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:45.040 I don't want to I don't want to just wing 0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:49.160 it totally, because you know, people give up the most 0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:52.040 valuable thing they have to listen to radio and or 0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:53.560 have it be a part of your life, and I 0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:56.080 feel it's it's wrong to do it. Now, there are 0:21:56.119 --> 0:21:58.680 plenty of people that do it that way. I don't 0:21:58.680 --> 0:22:00.240 like to do it, but it has happened. Eric. To 0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:03.320 answer your question, to my to my knowledge, no one's 0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:05.080 ever said. I've never got an email saying, hey, you 0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:08.880 didn't do the normal thing you normally do because I 0:22:08.880 --> 0:22:13.560 I'm able to still present a similar product just in 0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:16.480 my head, in my neurosis. It's not as good as 0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:20.720 it could be. All right, what is next? We have 0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:23.639 a Shane in Texas. He writes, and he says, if 0:22:23.680 --> 0:22:26.719 you had one wish from a genie in a bottle, 0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:29.640 and you could only pick one, would you rather have? 0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:32.160 And I guess it's these two things Shane is saying, 0:22:35.359 --> 0:22:37.520 not Genie and mentor, but Genie like a genie in 0:22:37.520 --> 0:22:39.199 about I said, but these are the only two things 0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:42.160 you got to pick from. Would you rather have perfect 0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:45.359 teeth or perfect hair? All right? So for me this 0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:47.199 is easy maybe for both of us. I don't know 0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:52.399 the hair thing because I don't I don't really notice, 0:22:52.440 --> 0:22:55.280 Like if you have really nasty teeth, I guess I'll notice, 0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:58.240 But I don't really like stare at people's teeth. But 0:22:58.359 --> 0:23:01.639 it's hard to avoid hair because it's you see it. 0:23:01.720 --> 0:23:04.119 I wear hats all the time because my hair is 0:23:04.440 --> 0:23:08.639 thanks to my my my grandparents and my grandfather or whatever. 0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:12.720 It's it's gone. Yeah, like he I guess I would pay. 0:23:12.760 --> 0:23:14.840 I would pick if my genie in a bottle could 0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:16.480 only give me one of those two things, I would 0:23:16.480 --> 0:23:21.639 pick flowing locks. That's what I would pick. Danny, I 0:23:21.800 --> 0:23:24.960 like Sampson, I would be with the locks. What about 0:23:25.000 --> 0:23:28.440 you now? Back when you were dating? And I mean, man, 0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:31.000 I I know that was a period in your life 0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:35.359 where you had a lot going on, but were you 0:23:35.920 --> 0:23:38.040 would it bother you if a girl had a jacked 0:23:38.119 --> 0:23:41.480 up grill or like her hair was thinning, because I 0:23:41.480 --> 0:23:44.639 think the jacked up grill is worse. Yeah. See, well 0:23:44.680 --> 0:23:48.480 that's a different I'm talking about. Yeah, I guess in dating. Yeah, 0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:50.640 But like I like, what do I really care if 0:23:50.640 --> 0:23:54.640 my buddy Jimmy has messed up teeth? You know, give 0:23:54.680 --> 0:23:56.840
