Speaker 1: Kabbooms.
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 sol fastion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the end every way hanging out in the audio,
Speaker 1: Dojoe no days off travel? I don't care about your
Speaker 1: stick and travel. No, no, no, the show must go on.
Speaker 1: As they say in show business, which is actually a
Speaker 1: negative thing. When you break a leg, you have to
Speaker 1: that phrases. You have to continue on because otherwise you
Speaker 1: won't get paid. It's broke, it's broke. That's what that
Speaker 1: phrase comes from. But we are the Fifth Hour, Ben
Speaker 1: Maller and Danny g And Oh what a night. It
Speaker 1: was a very memorable night in the Twin Cities. And
Speaker 1: we will have all of these I'm not gonna get
Speaker 1: it right now. I need time to process, Danny G Radio.
Speaker 1: I need time to let everything kind of marinate in
Speaker 1: my head before I am ready to give a so liloquy.
Speaker 3: You need time for gatorade. You look kind of hungover
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 1: Ella, what happens in Minnesota stays in Minnesota, Danny. That is,
Speaker 1: that's the thing you need to know. Now, I should
Speaker 1: point out there is false advertising on the license plates
Speaker 1: in Minnesota that they say the land of ten thousand Lakes,
Speaker 1: and every single license plate it says the land of
Speaker 1: ten thousand lakes. But did you know that is only
Speaker 1: for marketing reasons, Danny, that there are actually eleven thousand,
Speaker 1: eight hundred and forty two lakes that are ten acres
Speaker 1: or more in the state of Minnesota. But they love
Speaker 1: round numbers and so they just stopped at ten thousand
Speaker 1: because it doesn't sound as sexy if you say eleven thousand,
Speaker 1: eight hundred and forty two.
Speaker 4: Well, why didn't they just say eleven thousand lakes?
Speaker 1: Because it's not the round number ten thousands more. For
Speaker 1: some reason, ten thousand is more impressive than eleven thousand.
Speaker 4: Eleven thousand is odd. So yeah, g I guess.
Speaker 1: I'm not a numbers guy, but that doesn't seem to
Speaker 1: add up. It could have gone twelve thousand. But here's
Speaker 1: another fun fact that there are actually more lakes in
Speaker 1: Wisconsin than there are in Minnesota, but Minnesota. Because of marketing,
Speaker 1: Minnesota is known as the Land of the Lakes, but
Speaker 1: same geography. It's just they put a border obviously in
Speaker 1: this area, and Wisconsin's got I think the numbers over
Speaker 1: fifteen thousand. That's my brother, my brother Mike. That's his
Speaker 1: propaganda because he lives in Wisconsin. And I did have
Speaker 1: a great time. I was at late Winnebago in in
Speaker 1: Wisconsin and it was it was nice, it was very cool.
Speaker 1: There's all these quirky things, like there's seven thousand, six
Speaker 1: hundred islands in the Philippines, which that one blows me
Speaker 1: away that there's that many islands. So anyway, it is
Speaker 1: the mail bag Danny g So without further ado, I
Speaker 1: got things to do, I got places to go, people
Speaker 1: to see. But the podcast must go on. So these
Speaker 1: are actual questions sent in by actual listeners. And we
Speaker 1: started out with our guy Ohio al it's mail bag. Alrighty, alright,
Speaker 1: let's get to it. So the actual mail bag from
Speaker 1: actual listeners, The Real fifth Hour Reeal fifth Hour at
Speaker 1: gmail dot com is the email address Real fifth Hour
Speaker 1: at gmail dot com. And you can send a question
Speaker 1: in you and also posted on the show Facebook page,
Speaker 1: which is Ben Malors Show. First up is Pete the
Speaker 1: machinist in Albany, Oregon. He says, Ben and Danny, g
Speaker 1: what is your favorite food that you prepare at home
Speaker 1: and what are some of your easy go to meals?
Speaker 1: That is from machinist Pete. He points out that he
Speaker 1: is a Beaver believer. What there is that Danny? I'll
Speaker 1: go first here. I have cooked a lot over the
Speaker 1: last five, six, seven, eight years, maybe even longer than that.
Speaker 1: The favorite meal that I make is the cheese steak,
Speaker 1: the Philly cheese steak sandwich, which I will put up
Speaker 1: against any other homemade cheese steak. I will put that
Speaker 1: up against the Philadelphia actual steak sandwich that you get
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. And I learned how to make the authentic
Speaker 1: cheese steak from our former colleague who's been on this
Speaker 1: podcast a couple of times, the Great Tony Bruno. And
Speaker 1: Tony Bruno showed me the way. He said, no, you
Speaker 1: don't do the cheese whiz, you do the provolone. He
Speaker 1: told me exactly the ingredients I needed to get, and
Speaker 1: I have followed the Tony Bruno philosophy on making a
Speaker 1: cheese steak, and it is amazing. I've never had a
Speaker 1: complaint about the cheese steak, so that is my go
Speaker 1: to meal. And as far as stuff that's easy to make,
Speaker 1: it's pretty much anything you have to throw into the
Speaker 1: air fryer. I would say anything involving the air fryer
Speaker 1: is the way to go. What about you, I know, Danny,
Speaker 1: you're not known for having the culinary gift. Correct.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not too handy in the kitchen. I usually
Speaker 3: walk into the kitchen to make a plate of whatever
Speaker 3: my wife he has prepared. She's definitely the cook of
Speaker 3: the family. But you're right about the air fryer, because
Speaker 3: we'll have those Costco chicken tenders in the freezer and
Speaker 3: I'll throw some of those in the air fryer, get
Speaker 3: a nice little pool of ranch on the plate.
Speaker 4: There you go. That's a good meal. And then for
Speaker 4: a snack.
Speaker 1: Ben it was a good meal until you ruined it
Speaker 1: with that last ingredient. Then you who needs to drink
Speaker 1: the Tevil's blood wrapped on a delicious chicken finger.
Speaker 4: I thought I snuck that past you for a nice
Speaker 4: little snack.
Speaker 3: I don't care what time the day it is, and
Speaker 3: just to make myself feel a little bit better, like
Speaker 3: it's healthy.
Speaker 4: I like those whole grain lego my ago. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 4: the waffles.
Speaker 1: I thought I thought you were gonna say a hot pocket.
Speaker 3: Put the the waffle into the toaster, get some soft
Speaker 3: butter on there toast it well. And then I take
Speaker 3: the Arnie span yourd Vermont syrup that he sends us
Speaker 3: every Christmas. Get a little bit of syrup on there,
Speaker 3: and that is a nice crunchy snack anytime of the day.
Speaker 1: Well, he sends some of us that syrup, not all
Speaker 1: of us. Get that syrup from the Great Arne Spaniard.
Speaker 1: And he sends enough. I've seen these containers around the studio.
Speaker 1: He sends enough to last like five years. So if
Speaker 1: there's if there's some kind of pandemic again, you will
Speaker 1: have all of the maple syrup you could possibly want
Speaker 1: for pretty much the next five years.
Speaker 3: You're not wrong, because the syrup container we're using is
Speaker 3: the one from two Christmases ago. The one he sent
Speaker 3: me this past Christmas is still in the cabinet.
Speaker 1: So what is the lifespan? Let me check this here,
Speaker 1: lifespan on maple syrup. You see here maple syrup. I
Speaker 1: guess I'll go shelf life, punch this into the bing
Speaker 1: machine and see see what happens here. Let you think
Speaker 1: unopened glass bottles of maple syrup can stay up to
Speaker 1: four years?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Wow? Up to four years? Man, Well, that's that's good.
Speaker 1: Honey is the item. I've brought this up before. I've
Speaker 1: I've talked about this on the podcast. I would open
Speaker 1: a honey story because honey never goes bad. It you
Speaker 1: can you can have honey on the shelf for years
Speaker 1: and you can. You can still finagle with it and
Speaker 1: still eat it. But maple syrup, which is like a
Speaker 1: relative of the honey, right, it's in the honey. I
Speaker 1: feel like it's in the honey family. And uh yeah,
Speaker 1: four years. Fun fact. Next up, J Bone from Beautiful Portland,
Speaker 1: Maine says, my eleven year old son plays the would
Speaker 1: you Rather game with me all the time. That's a
Speaker 1: fun game. I like the would you rather?
Speaker 4: Game?
Speaker 1: I support the would you rather? Game? He says, here's
Speaker 1: his most recent would you rather have hands for feet
Speaker 1: or feet for hands? Do do do do do do
Speaker 1: do do do do.
Speaker 4: Do for sheets.
Speaker 1: Let see. Well, the fact that we use our hands
Speaker 1: for everything, the degree of difficulty would go up a
Speaker 1: lot if the hand was was where the feet are.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not into toe sucking, so I'd want to
Speaker 3: keep the hands the hands that way, If my girl
Speaker 3: sucks some syrup off my finger, it's still my finger.
Speaker 3: But if feet were suddenly there, that would be my
Speaker 3: big toe. That's gross. If we have hands down at
Speaker 3: our feet, we could cover those up and put some
Speaker 3: special shoes down there, so at least it doesn't look
Speaker 3: so creepy.
Speaker 1: Right, So I have a couple of thoughts on this.
Speaker 1: First of all, if your feet or your hands, it
Speaker 1: wouldn't be gross to suck your toes because your feet
Speaker 1: would not be on the ground. They would be where
Speaker 1: your hands are. Like, instead of finger licking good, it
Speaker 1: could be toe licking good gross speak of the new
Speaker 1: marketing for k They could have a field day with that.
Speaker 1: So anyway, got a good job, Jaybone by your eleven
Speaker 1: year old spawn nice John in Colorado rights and he's
Speaker 1: in Northern Colorado, not to be confused with southern Central
Speaker 1: like Northern Colorado, which is right near the Wyoming border,
Speaker 1: some pretty country. Yeah, isn't it cheaper though, to live
Speaker 1: in Wyoming and then just drive into Colorado. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's like people in Boston live in New Hampshire or
Speaker 1: Vermont one of the other New England states because it's
Speaker 1: a little cheaper.
Speaker 3: Colorado used to be affordable until all the jerk heads
Speaker 3: moved in.
Speaker 1: Yes, all the locusts from California. I believe it is there,
Speaker 1: and they brought these same problems they had in California
Speaker 1: to Colorado, as they are doing in other places around
Speaker 1: the country. So John says, have you ever found yourself
Speaker 1: in a mosh pit? If so, did you slug anyone
Speaker 1: in said mashpit? That's from John in northern Colorado. I
Speaker 1: have never been in a mosh pit. I was at
Speaker 1: a school function where a bunch of the kids started
Speaker 1: to do a mosh pit, and then the evil teacher
Speaker 1: stepped in and said, no, no, no, you bad boons.
Speaker 1: You cannot do a mosh pit, and so that ruined
Speaker 1: that ruined the fun. So I never got to do it.
Speaker 1: But Danny, have you ever been a mosh pit guy
Speaker 1: in your past? There?
Speaker 3: I've been in a mosh pit at a rock concert
Speaker 3: one time. It was in the mid nineties at a
Speaker 3: Tool concert at the Ventura Concert Theater, and that mosh
Speaker 3: pit was crazy. I had to throw elbows just to
Speaker 3: stay alive. And at the time before I had Lasik
Speaker 3: eye surgery, I had some glasses on and those glasses
Speaker 3: were demolished.
Speaker 4: They got knocked off my face scrampled on.
Speaker 3: I couldn't reach down to get him because the moshpit
Speaker 3: was so violent, So I lost a pair of expensive
Speaker 3: glasses in the first and only moshpit I ever was
Speaker 3: participating in.
Speaker 1: See that would be my concern. My concern would be
Speaker 1: I would lose my phone, I would lose my keys,
Speaker 1: I would lose everything. It would all be gone, right,
Speaker 1: everything would be gone, and in the middle of the
Speaker 1: mosh pit it would all. It would all end right there.
Speaker 3: If I had it to do over, I would have
Speaker 3: wore some Kareem abdul Jabbar goggles.
Speaker 1: Yeah, or that mask that Donald Sterling's mistress wore.
Speaker 4: That or Jalen Brown wears.
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, the Zorro mask. You would have that that on.
Speaker 1: Next up is our guy ohio Al and he's a
Speaker 1: big part of this podcast. He says, I told you, Ben,
Speaker 1: I want to take you to Cecil's Deli. Oh this
Speaker 1: is in Minnesota. Yeah, in Saint Paul. He says, that
Speaker 1: is the place to go. It's on six fifty one
Speaker 1: South Cleveland Avenue in Saint Paul. Says the best ruben
Speaker 1: you will ever have. Juicy Lucy at Matts or five
Speaker 1: twenty eight, I think have them both, says the Luth.
Speaker 1: Minnesota is nice if you have time. It's about two
Speaker 1: and a half hours away. I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: a that's a that's a five hour commitment in the car.
Speaker 1: I don't know that I want to spend that much
Speaker 1: time in the car. I want to see stuff I
Speaker 1: can see and move on. But I'm looking at this
Speaker 1: deli and either it's because I'm fasting or this does
Speaker 1: look really good. So I'm I'm considering I'm a sucker
Speaker 1: for a delicatessant. I might have to to get over there.
Speaker 1: I don't see any prices here. That scares me a
Speaker 1: little bit. I don't see any prices on the on
Speaker 1: the menu. I'm sure though, though they're Minnesota nice prices, right,
Speaker 1: Danny g Right, everything's good homemade, everything's affordable, Yes, unless
Speaker 1: it's not.
Speaker 3: Are you gonna lay today? Go find the house that
Speaker 3: they used at least for the outside for the scene
Speaker 3: on the Mary Tyler Moore Show.
Speaker 1: But as you know, I'm a huge fan of the
Speaker 1: Mary Tyler Moore Show. And of course who wouldn't be
Speaker 1: doing that, right? I put down the corn beef hash
Speaker 1: and run off and do that Kevin in Kansas, Right,
Speaker 1: So he says, dear Ben, when Fox gets around to
Speaker 1: creating a new podcast promo that builds both you and
Speaker 1: your home slice, Danny G, will that stop people from
Speaker 1: asking about when Fox will actually update your promo? Says
Speaker 1: I liked I like David G. But this Danny G
Speaker 1: is outstanding. Keep up the great pods, guys. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: this is still an issue that we're getting emails that
Speaker 1: the podcast promo that airs on other iHeart podcasts is
Speaker 1: with David Ge and not Dan. And we have brought
Speaker 1: this up multiple times. It appears to be something that
Speaker 1: is impossible to fix. And you have a theory right
Speaker 1: on this, Danny, that it's because people are not updating
Speaker 1: these spots that are adding them to the different podcast
Speaker 1: They're just.
Speaker 3: Yeah, these are just some lazy butts that don't open
Speaker 3: up the new versions of spots that they're supposed to
Speaker 3: put in to podcasts. So they have the old version
Speaker 3: and an old folder and they just grab it and
Speaker 3: slap it in to new recordings. Whereas these emails that
Speaker 3: come to us from management saying this week it's the
Speaker 3: fifth Hour promo that we're playing and the new version
Speaker 3: is attached to that email. Does everybody download that version?
Speaker 1: No? Yeah, yeah, that's not not happen. Next up is
Speaker 1: listener Jonathan, and he posted this on the show facebook page,
Speaker 1: Jonathan listening to the Fifth r He did not say
Speaker 1: where he is listening from, So I have no idea.
Speaker 1: Parts unknown, parts unknown. It is not that hard. People
Speaker 1: just put your name and location if you want a
Speaker 1: shout out. But John or Jonathan as his parents named him,
Speaker 1: says Ben. Do you recall when Tommy Lasorda had the
Speaker 1: Montreal expos mascot tossed out. I just saw this yesterday
Speaker 1: for the first time, and the comments said he had
Speaker 1: a history with misbehaving mascots. I know you love Lesorta,
Speaker 1: you have love for the sort of Any comments or
Speaker 1: thoughts on that, I think that would be pretty cool.
Speaker 1: When you think when you're thinking on the matter, what
Speaker 1: you're thinking on the matter is so yeah, Jonathan, I
Speaker 1: did not witness in person. I've seen the videos of
Speaker 1: Thesorta going nuts with mascots, but I can't confirm. When
Speaker 1: I covered the Dodgers and Losorda was still managing the team,
Speaker 1: the Dodgers would always go on a coast swing, usually
Speaker 1: in August, and it was always some combination of New York, Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: and Montreal. It was the Northeast Corridor. They did all
Speaker 1: three of those teams that would be the trip, and
Speaker 1: it was always the West Coast team, so the Giants, Dodgers,
Speaker 1: and Padres would all make the same road trip. But
Speaker 1: before the road trip in the Dodger clubhouse when they
Speaker 1: would go to Philadelphia or New York or Montreal. It
Speaker 1: was a great trip for mascots because he had mister
Speaker 1: met in Queens, you had Yupie in Montreal, and then
Speaker 1: in Philly. The fanatic Thesorta is from. He was from Pennsylvania, Allentown, Pennsylvania,
Speaker 1: so he always had a lot of friends and family.
Speaker 1: When the Phillies, well, the sort of had friends everywhere.
Speaker 1: But when the Phillies would play the Dodgers in Philadelphia
Speaker 1: was like a big deal because his family that doesn't
Speaker 1: live in LA would be able to go to the
Speaker 1: games and stuff. But I remember the tall in the
Speaker 1: clubhouse was what was going to happen with the Philly fanatic.
Speaker 1: That was the big one. That was the big one,
Speaker 1: and the Sorta man, God rest his soul, he was
Speaker 1: such a showman. He was such a bullshit artist that
Speaker 1: he he would he would play it up. And the mascots.
Speaker 1: That was back in the days before there was the
Speaker 1: qorum and everything was all corporate, and you'd you'd go
Speaker 1: into these other cities and it was like it was
Speaker 1: like the Old West, and the mascots were purposely trying
Speaker 1: to try to fuck with a Sorta and he didn't
Speaker 1: he didn't mind. He would fight back with him. And
Speaker 1: some of the funniest stories I heard was was people
Speaker 1: on the Dodgers traveling party talking about the Sorta and
Speaker 1: getting into it with the Philly fanatic and how things
Speaker 1: would start out as a joke, the sorta was along
Speaker 1: with the gag, and then the fanatic would do something
Speaker 1: to piss off the Sorta and he had that fiery
Speaker 1: Italian temper and he would legitimately get upset with the
Speaker 1: freaking mascot and it was hilarious. I mean some of
Speaker 1: the stories that were told. I didn't hear as many
Speaker 1: about the mascot in Montreal, but the one that I
Speaker 1: remember hearing about year after year was the Philly Fanatic.
Speaker 1: That that was the one that it would start out
Speaker 1: all friendly and one thing led to another, and it
Speaker 1: was it would the one year the Fanatic brought out
Speaker 1: and like an effigy of the sorta, the stuffed a
Speaker 1: stuffed doll of the sorta, and they had the Dodger
Speaker 1: jersey on and that drove Tommy nuts. He was so
Speaker 1: because the Fanatic was tossing this thing around because it
Speaker 1: was a stuffed animal, like a stuffed doll, or it was.
Speaker 1: It was funny anyway, So there you go. Fred in
Speaker 1: Spring Texas writes in on the mail Bag. He says, guys,
Speaker 1: great show. Do you ever feel stalled in your radio careers?
Speaker 1: I fear and fear rather having to look into other
Speaker 1: other fields. That is from from Fred and our buddy
Speaker 1: in Spring Texas. So yeah, I think everyone feels at
Speaker 1: some point like you're kind of at a dn end.
Speaker 1: Usually it's when you lose one of your jobs, and
Speaker 1: then you're like, oh, it's hard to get on all
Speaker 1: these jobs and it's problematic and what's gonna happen and
Speaker 1: all that. But yeah, there's absolutely been some moments where
Speaker 1: I was like, Eh, that's it. I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: in a good spot now. But if I had to
Speaker 1: leave radio, I'd miss it. I'd do a podcast, but
Speaker 1: I'd probably just get a real job. I got bills
Speaker 1: to pay, so I'd find something. What about you, Danny, like.
Speaker 3: You, I have a passion for radio. I love this.
Speaker 3: I can't really imagine doing anything else. I mean, obviously
Speaker 3: I've dabbled in education, so I would do that, I
Speaker 3: guess if radio wasn't on the table. Sometimes, though, I
Speaker 3: look at my Google search and it's a very odd
Speaker 3: list of things that I'm researching for both Covino and
Speaker 3: Rich and you, like, right now, the last thing I
Speaker 3: googled where is the house for the Mary Tyler Moore Show.
Speaker 3: And then later I'll look back at all the things
Speaker 3: I've googled over a week's time and I'm like, holy crap,
Speaker 3: what was going on on the air? And by the way,
Speaker 3: Alf would love this fun fact. Fans of that show.
Speaker 3: They know that place as one nineteen North Weatherly. It's
Speaker 3: located ben hundreds and hundreds of fans take photos in
Speaker 3: front of this mansion two to one zero four Kenwood Parkway.
Speaker 3: It's in an affluent neighborhood of Minneapolis. Oh yeah, two
Speaker 3: to one zero four Kenwood Parkway. For our listeners who
Speaker 3: are in Minnesota this weekend.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 1: A fun fact also about Minnesota that Dorothy Gale from
Speaker 1: the Wizard of US Judy Garland from from the Twin Cities.
Speaker 1: Fun fact. And you know she was under five feet tall.
Speaker 1: Did you know that?
Speaker 4: Didn't know that? Wow? She was a small person.
Speaker 1: Very small, but look big on television, look big on television.
Speaker 3: And one of our favorite baseball players growing up, Curby Pucket.
Speaker 1: The Beast, Yeah, the legend from Chicago but became famous
Speaker 1: with the Twins. Vince Vaughan, famous, Vince Vaughn, he's from there.
Speaker 1: I think John Madden, the old broadcaster, also from from
Speaker 1: Minnesota's a bunch of famous people that have come out
Speaker 1: of the state of Minnesota. Now I just realized we're
Speaker 1: going to pause the mail bag because we did not
Speaker 1: get to on the Saturday po Becast. We were so
Speaker 1: flustered by everything that we had going on, we did
Speaker 1: not get to a very important cheesy word of the week.
Speaker 1: So I want to pause this. Can we get to
Speaker 1: the cheesy word of the week right now?
Speaker 4: A word of the week? Word of the week? Take
Speaker 4: me back to nineteen ninety nine. This used to be
Speaker 4: a segment on the Ben Mallor Weekend show.
Speaker 1: So the word of the week, and this came up
Speaker 1: on the Terrestrial radio show. We were doing cooking with Roberto,
Speaker 1: and Roberto had a recipe Danny g that involved Monterey
Speaker 1: Jack cheese. So we were going like, well, where did
Speaker 1: that name Monterey Jack cheese come from? We both assumed
Speaker 1: it came from Monterey, Mexico. So I did a little
Speaker 1: bit of research and it turns out it actually came
Speaker 1: from Monterey, California. But as Paul Harvey would say, you
Speaker 1: know the news, but now you're about to find the
Speaker 1: rest of the story when it comes to the word
Speaker 1: of the week. And so I just assumed Monterey, New
Speaker 1: Mexico because it's been around longer, although I guess Monterey,
Speaker 1: California was part of Mexico back in the day. Anyway,
Speaker 1: So this goes back to the eighteen fifties Monterey, California,
Speaker 1: there was a guy named David Jack. David Jack was
Speaker 1: his name, and he was the guy credited with manufacturing
Speaker 1: Monterey Jack cheese. After dairy farming. He had a large
Speaker 1: amount of land he had acquired when he moved to Monterey. However,
Speaker 1: it turns out there's a seedy underbelly to Monterey Jack
Speaker 1: cheese and that it may have actually originated from a
Speaker 1: door to door salesperson named Donna Bron Donna as a
Speaker 1: way to feed her family, that she was the one
Speaker 1: that came up with is There's another theory that says
Speaker 1: this other guy named Domingo was the one who applied
Speaker 1: pressure to the cheese with the house jack and created
Speaker 1: the Monterey Jack. But in the end, the word Monterey
Speaker 1: Jack was stolen by David Jack. What a jackass, because
Speaker 1: he was the one that had the money. He owned
Speaker 1: fourteen dairy farms in California in the eighteen fifties. He
Speaker 1: had thousands of acres of land, and he was believable
Speaker 1: because he was a settler in Monterey. He had the
Speaker 1: last name Jack. The name stuck. Here we are almost
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty years later and the name to
Speaker 1: this day is still the name that we use. So
Speaker 1: Monterey Jack named after a guy named David Jack who
Speaker 1: stole it from a woman named Donna who was a
Speaker 1: door to door salesperson or somebody named Domingo.
Speaker 4: There.
Speaker 1: That is the word of the week, Monterey Jack, which
Speaker 1: is really two words of the week, not one. It's
Speaker 1: two words of the week. Now back to the Mailbag,
Speaker 1: Mike in Fullerton writes, since says Aloha, Ben and Danny G.
Speaker 1: I love. Oh this is appropriate. This was not playing
Speaker 1: by the way, Danny says, I love the new word
Speaker 1: of the week segment. I was worried it would be
Speaker 1: too similar to Petros and Money's word of the day,
Speaker 1: but my fears were quickly put to rest. You see that,
Speaker 1: Danny G. That is an endorsement. That is someone that
Speaker 1: gets it Mike and Fullerton, Just like Safari Kingdom, as
Speaker 1: he says here, he says, you can add it to
Speaker 1: the long list of Fifth Hour originals like the mail
Speaker 1: Bag the Safari Kingdom. What is going on? I don't
Speaker 1: know how you guys keep coming up with this original
Speaker 1: content that is from Mike and Fullerton. He says. Now
Speaker 1: that the ice machine in the studio works again, and
Speaker 1: he says, here, you can thank Ben for that. Danny G.
Speaker 1: What is your guys go to drink on a hot
Speaker 1: summer day? For my money, nothing beats an ice cold
Speaker 1: glass of lemonade while I'm watching my stories, He says, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm a lemonade guy. I love with the proper mix
Speaker 1: of sugar. I don't want it too what's the word
Speaker 1: I'm looking for it.
Speaker 4: I'd rather sour, not too sweet.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't want it too sour. I don't and
Speaker 1: nobody likes it sour, so it's good. I'd rather have
Speaker 1: it too sweet than too sour. I'd like it in
Speaker 1: the middle. Just a little bit of this, a little
Speaker 1: bit of that. That's the way to go. What about you,
Speaker 1: summer day? You a beer guy? Cold ice cold beer?
Speaker 1: What do you go for? Man?
Speaker 3: I'm with you guys on the lemonade, but I'll remix
Speaker 3: it a little bit.
Speaker 4: I liked the pink lemonade. The sweetness is right.
Speaker 1: Is there really a difference though? Isn't it just food coloring?
Speaker 1: Isn't that just what it is?
Speaker 4: I thought there was a difference.
Speaker 1: I don't think there is. I think it's more of
Speaker 1: a mental thing. Raw like the color. But I do
Speaker 1: drink mostly pink lemonade, but I don't know that it
Speaker 1: tastes really that much to it. Nick and Wisconsin rights,
Speaker 1: and he's following the lead of Mike and Fullerton. He says,
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny g with summer right around the corner,
Speaker 1: which would you choose on a here we go another
Speaker 1: warm summer day, He says, A slushy, a smoothie, or
Speaker 1: a milk shrake.
Speaker 4: Oh, before you get to that, I have your answer
Speaker 4: about pink lemonade.
Speaker 3: Okay, some of them it's about food coloring, but it's
Speaker 3: also about a mix of a different drink. They say strawberry,
Speaker 3: cranberry or other fruit juice gives it. It's pink color
Speaker 3: when mixed in, So it's strawberry, cranberry or other fruit juice.
Speaker 1: The pink lemonade I like. A lot that we get
Speaker 1: from the grocery store is raspberry. I think it's rash.
Speaker 4: I know exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's bougie, but it's pretty good. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: pretty expensive for what you get, but it's it's a delicious,
Speaker 1: delicious beverage. So as far as what Nick said here,
Speaker 1: he said again, warm summer day, summer's coming up. You
Speaker 1: got slushy smooth or milkshake down by the school yard
Speaker 1: that brings all the boys down to the yard. I boy,
Speaker 1: milkshake is great. I mean it's really bad for you,
Speaker 1: but it's hard to pass up a great milkshake. But
Speaker 1: if I'm if I'm like in the pool or something,
Speaker 1: it would be a slushy. But if I'm like kind
Speaker 1: of wandering around, you know that milkshake.
Speaker 4: So you know, how do you keep a milkshake in
Speaker 4: your stomach? Though?
Speaker 3: Because there are two things that make me feel like
Speaker 3: a fat whale instantly after consuming them, A fries and

Speaker 1: You wouldn't like hanging out with me, though, Danny, if
Speaker 1: we were to go like the movies or something, because
Speaker 1: I would eat fries and a milkshake together. I would
Speaker 1: dip the fries in the milkshake and that would be

Speaker 1: I will do one more. One more. This is from
Speaker 1: Alf in the mail bag. He says, Ben, I know
Speaker 1: this is a shot in the dark, but as someone
Speaker 1: who doesn't have much sleep, doesn't get much sleep, would
Speaker 1: you care to share how many rare and appropriate shows
Speaker 1: you'll be taking off this week? This p one gets
Speaker 1: a few extra minutes of shut eye when you are
Speaker 1: away from your cat bird seat, and could possibly extend
Speaker 1: my life span by a couple of days. Thanks in advance,
Speaker 1: your loyal minion, Alf the Alien opiners. So Alf, I
Speaker 1: will reveal exclusively on this podcast. I have not told
Speaker 1: anyone my plans, but I will not be on the
Speaker 1: radio tonight. Obviously, I am hanging out in the Twin Cities,
Speaker 1: so I will not be on the radio tonight, and
Speaker 1: I will be traveling. I have a late flight relatively speaking,
Speaker 1: depending on which time zone you're in, and by the
Speaker 1: time I get back to LA it will be just
Speaker 1: a little bit later in the day and not enough
Speaker 1: time to properly prepare for the show and to do
Speaker 1: the show. So I will be not doing the show Tuesday,
Speaker 1: Monday and to Tuesday, and then I'll be back for
Speaker 1: the rest of the week. For the balance of the week,
Speaker 1: I will be behind the microphones of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1: And then next weekend, assuming we win the rights, we
Speaker 1: will have in depth team coverage about what happened last
Speaker 1: night at the Malor meet and Greet cannot wait to
Speaker 1: tell those stories with the masses. Cann be awesome and
Speaker 1: wild and crazy. What do you have going on, Danny g.
Speaker 3: Sunday lazy kickback Day? Or am I going to have
Speaker 3: to clean the garage? We'll see, Man, there's so much
Speaker 3: crap in this garage now, Ben, I feel claustrophobic again.
Speaker 3: I had it all sorted and straightened up. You could
Speaker 3: actually walk through the garage, and now there's piles of
Speaker 3: crap everywhere.
Speaker 1: Again, Do I see a garage sale in your future?
Speaker 4: Danny?
Speaker 1: Do I see a garage sale in your future?
Speaker 4: People don't do garage sales anymore?
Speaker 1: Why is that?
Speaker 4: I don't know. Covid.
Speaker 1: Oh that's over, COVID. I thought it's over.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I haven't seen yard sales around here
Speaker 3: since before COVID.
Speaker 1: I have a theory on that. Is that because you
Speaker 1: get up late on the weekends, because those yard sales
Speaker 1: are always at the crack of dawn on Saturday.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you might be right. Maybe that's for like old
Speaker 3: early bird people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's we sleep through that. Anyway, Have a wonderful
Speaker 1: rest of your weekend, Stay safe, enjoy whatever you're doing,
Speaker 1: and I will be back behind the microphones, as I
Speaker 1: just told Alf, in a couple of days. I'll be
Speaker 1: back looking forward to it, and we will catch you
Speaker 1: next time.
