WEBVTT - The Fifth Hour: "The Paul Molitor" Mail Bag 0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:01.480 Kabbooms. 0:00:02.320 --> 0:00:05.400 If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.160 a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.480 of the old Republic, a sol fastion of fairness. He 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.520 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:17.480 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:18.360 Wow. 0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:22.320 The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special. 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:29.440 The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now. 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:35.240 In the end every way hanging out in the audio, 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:41.559 Dojoe no days off travel? I don't care about your 0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:44.600 stick and travel. No, no, no, the show must go on. 0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:47.400 As they say in show business, which is actually a 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:50.640 negative thing. When you break a leg, you have to 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:55.240 that phrases. You have to continue on because otherwise you 0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:58.920 won't get paid. It's broke, it's broke. That's what that 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:01.280 phrase comes from. But we are the Fifth Hour, Ben 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:04.120 Maller and Danny g And Oh what a night. It 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:10.319 was a very memorable night in the Twin Cities. And 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:12.720 we will have all of these I'm not gonna get 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:15.479 it right now. I need time to process, Danny G Radio. 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:20.320 I need time to let everything kind of marinate in 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:24.800 my head before I am ready to give a so liloquy. 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.039 You need time for gatorade. You look kind of hungover 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:28.960 right now. 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:33.959 Ella, what happens in Minnesota stays in Minnesota, Danny. That is, 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.800 that's the thing you need to know. Now, I should 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:43.240 point out there is false advertising on the license plates 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:48.400 in Minnesota that they say the land of ten thousand Lakes, 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.520 and every single license plate it says the land of 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:53.520 ten thousand lakes. But did you know that is only 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:58.440 for marketing reasons, Danny, that there are actually eleven thousand, 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:02.360 eight hundred and forty two lakes that are ten acres 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:08.560 or more in the state of Minnesota. But they love 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.359 round numbers and so they just stopped at ten thousand 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.200 because it doesn't sound as sexy if you say eleven thousand, 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:15.560 eight hundred and forty two. 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.560 Well, why didn't they just say eleven thousand lakes? 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:22.440 Because it's not the round number ten thousands more. For 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:26.560 some reason, ten thousand is more impressive than eleven thousand. 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:31.400 Eleven thousand is odd. So yeah, g I guess. 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.000 I'm not a numbers guy, but that doesn't seem to 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:36.360 add up. It could have gone twelve thousand. But here's 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:40.320 another fun fact that there are actually more lakes in 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:47.240 Wisconsin than there are in Minnesota, but Minnesota. Because of marketing, 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.720 Minnesota is known as the Land of the Lakes, but 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.640 same geography. It's just they put a border obviously in 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:57.240 this area, and Wisconsin's got I think the numbers over 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.680 fifteen thousand. That's my brother, my brother Mike. That's his 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:04.239 propaganda because he lives in Wisconsin. And I did have 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:08.560 a great time. I was at late Winnebago in in 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:12.200 Wisconsin and it was it was nice, it was very cool. 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:16.000 There's all these quirky things, like there's seven thousand, six 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.680 hundred islands in the Philippines, which that one blows me 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:22.640 away that there's that many islands. So anyway, it is 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:24.959 the mail bag Danny g So without further ado, I 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.000 got things to do, I got places to go, people 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.520 to see. But the podcast must go on. So these 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:33.240 are actual questions sent in by actual listeners. And we 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:52.160 started out with our guy Ohio al it's mail bag. Alrighty, alright, 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.600 let's get to it. So the actual mail bag from 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.440 actual listeners, The Real fifth Hour Reeal fifth Hour at 0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:59.960 gmail dot com is the email address Real fifth Hour 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:03.320 at gmail dot com. And you can send a question 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:05.880 in you and also posted on the show Facebook page, 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:09.400 which is Ben Malors Show. First up is Pete the 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:13.080 machinist in Albany, Oregon. He says, Ben and Danny, g 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:17.480 what is your favorite food that you prepare at home 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.120 and what are some of your easy go to meals? 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.880 That is from machinist Pete. He points out that he 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:31.920 is a Beaver believer. What there is that Danny? I'll 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:35.719 go first here. I have cooked a lot over the 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:39.520 last five, six, seven, eight years, maybe even longer than that. 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:44.160 The favorite meal that I make is the cheese steak, 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.720 the Philly cheese steak sandwich, which I will put up 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.440 against any other homemade cheese steak. I will put that 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:54.200 up against the Philadelphia actual steak sandwich that you get 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:58.000 in Philadelphia. And I learned how to make the authentic 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:00.280 cheese steak from our former colleague who's been on this 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:04.320 podcast a couple of times, the Great Tony Bruno. And 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.400 Tony Bruno showed me the way. He said, no, you 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:10.760 don't do the cheese whiz, you do the provolone. He 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:14.839 told me exactly the ingredients I needed to get, and 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.520 I have followed the Tony Bruno philosophy on making a 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:22.400 cheese steak, and it is amazing. I've never had a 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.320 complaint about the cheese steak, so that is my go 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:29.240 to meal. And as far as stuff that's easy to make, 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.080 it's pretty much anything you have to throw into the 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.640 air fryer. I would say anything involving the air fryer 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:37.240 is the way to go. What about you, I know, Danny, 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:42.599 you're not known for having the culinary gift. Correct. 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.039 Yeah, I'm not too handy in the kitchen. I usually 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.160 walk into the kitchen to make a plate of whatever 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.440 my wife he has prepared. She's definitely the cook of 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:55.680 the family. But you're right about the air fryer, because 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:59.000 we'll have those Costco chicken tenders in the freezer and 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.640 I'll throw some of those in the air fryer, get 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:03.800 a nice little pool of ranch on the plate. 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:06.800 There you go. That's a good meal. And then for 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:07.440 a snack. 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:09.600 Ben it was a good meal until you ruined it 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.520 with that last ingredient. Then you who needs to drink 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.239 the Tevil's blood wrapped on a delicious chicken finger. 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:19.000 I thought I snuck that past you for a nice 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:19.719 little snack. 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.880 I don't care what time the day it is, and 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:25.479 just to make myself feel a little bit better, like 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:26.080 it's healthy. 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:31.359 I like those whole grain lego my ago. Okay, yeah, 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:32.280 the waffles. 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:34.560 I thought I thought you were gonna say a hot pocket. 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:41.120 Put the the waffle into the toaster, get some soft 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:44.440 butter on there toast it well. And then I take 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:48.120 the Arnie span yourd Vermont syrup that he sends us 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.840 every Christmas. Get a little bit of syrup on there, 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.760 and that is a nice crunchy snack anytime of the day. 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:56.640 Well, he sends some of us that syrup, not all 0:06:56.680 --> 0:07:00.000 of us. Get that syrup from the Great Arne Spaniard. 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.480 And he sends enough. I've seen these containers around the studio. 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:06.120 He sends enough to last like five years. So if 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:09.520 there's if there's some kind of pandemic again, you will 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:14.280 have all of the maple syrup you could possibly want 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:16.760 for pretty much the next five years. 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:20.560 You're not wrong, because the syrup container we're using is 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.720 the one from two Christmases ago. The one he sent 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.400 me this past Christmas is still in the cabinet. 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.680 So what is the lifespan? Let me check this here, 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:37.920 lifespan on maple syrup. You see here maple syrup. I 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:41.440 guess I'll go shelf life, punch this into the bing 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:45.760 machine and see see what happens here. Let you think 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:52.680 unopened glass bottles of maple syrup can stay up to 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:53.960 four years? 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:55.560 Yeah? 0:07:55.600 --> 0:08:02.200 Wow? Up to four years? Man, Well, that's that's good. 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.560 Honey is the item. I've brought this up before. I've 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:07.600 I've talked about this on the podcast. I would open 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:11.960 a honey story because honey never goes bad. It you 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:14.600 can you can have honey on the shelf for years 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:17.320 and you can. You can still finagle with it and 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.600 still eat it. But maple syrup, which is like a 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.000 relative of the honey, right, it's in the honey. I 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:24.920 feel like it's in the honey family. And uh yeah, 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:30.000 four years. Fun fact. Next up, J Bone from Beautiful Portland, 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.679 Maine says, my eleven year old son plays the would 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:36.760 you Rather game with me all the time. That's a 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.640 fun game. I like the would you rather? 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:40.040 Game? 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.880 I support the would you rather? Game? He says, here's 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:47.520 his most recent would you rather have hands for feet 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:52.280 or feet for hands? Do do do do do do 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:53.280 do do do do. 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.120 Do for sheets. 0:08:55.640 --> 0:09:00.000 Let see. Well, the fact that we use our hands 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:05.280 for everything, the degree of difficulty would go up a 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:09.240 lot if the hand was was where the feet are. 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:10.959 You know what I'm saying. 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:16.120 Yeah, I'm not into toe sucking, so I'd want to 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:19.160 keep the hands the hands that way, If my girl 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:22.400 sucks some syrup off my finger, it's still my finger. 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:26.680 But if feet were suddenly there, that would be my 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:31.080 big toe. That's gross. If we have hands down at 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:34.200 our feet, we could cover those up and put some 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.960 special shoes down there, so at least it doesn't look 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:37.560 so creepy. 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:39.840 Right, So I have a couple of thoughts on this. 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:44.400 First of all, if your feet or your hands, it 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:48.680 wouldn't be gross to suck your toes because your feet 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:51.320 would not be on the ground. They would be where 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:55.320 your hands are. Like, instead of finger licking good, it 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.960 could be toe licking good gross speak of the new 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:03.880 marketing for k They could have a field day with that. 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:08.000 So anyway, got a good job, Jaybone by your eleven 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:13.199 year old spawn nice John in Colorado rights and he's 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:18.160 in Northern Colorado, not to be confused with southern Central 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:23.280 like Northern Colorado, which is right near the Wyoming border, 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:28.440 some pretty country. Yeah, isn't it cheaper though, to live 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.640 in Wyoming and then just drive into Colorado. I don't know. 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:32.080 I don't know. 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:35.880 It's like people in Boston live in New Hampshire or 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:39.160 Vermont one of the other New England states because it's 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:39.800 a little cheaper. 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:44.280 Colorado used to be affordable until all the jerk heads 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:44.840 moved in. 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:49.720 Yes, all the locusts from California. I believe it is there, 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.520 and they brought these same problems they had in California 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:56.640 to Colorado, as they are doing in other places around 0:10:56.679 --> 0:11:00.679 the country. So John says, have you ever found yourself 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:04.800 in a mosh pit? If so, did you slug anyone 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:08.720 in said mashpit? That's from John in northern Colorado. I 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.480 have never been in a mosh pit. I was at 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:14.880 a school function where a bunch of the kids started 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:18.200 to do a mosh pit, and then the evil teacher 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:22.439 stepped in and said, no, no, no, you bad boons. 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:26.120 You cannot do a mosh pit, and so that ruined 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.360 that ruined the fun. So I never got to do it. 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:31.800 But Danny, have you ever been a mosh pit guy 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:33.360 in your past? There? 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.360 I've been in a mosh pit at a rock concert 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:39.600 one time. It was in the mid nineties at a 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:43.600 Tool concert at the Ventura Concert Theater, and that mosh 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.520 pit was crazy. I had to throw elbows just to 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:49.880 stay alive. And at the time before I had Lasik 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:54.120 eye surgery, I had some glasses on and those glasses 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:55.040 were demolished. 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.200 They got knocked off my face scrampled on. 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:01.400 I couldn't reach down to get him because the moshpit 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:05.400 was so violent, So I lost a pair of expensive 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:09.320 glasses in the first and only moshpit I ever was 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:10.520 participating in. 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.199 See that would be my concern. My concern would be 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.760 I would lose my phone, I would lose my keys, 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:18.839 I would lose everything. It would all be gone, right, 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.760 everything would be gone, and in the middle of the 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.880 mosh pit it would all. It would all end right there. 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:27.360 If I had it to do over, I would have 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:30.640 wore some Kareem abdul Jabbar goggles. 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:33.920 Yeah, or that mask that Donald Sterling's mistress wore. 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.640 That or Jalen Brown wears. 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:40.920 Now, yeah, the Zorro mask. You would have that that on. 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:45.200 Next up is our guy ohio Al and he's a 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:47.320 big part of this podcast. He says, I told you, Ben, 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:50.320 I want to take you to Cecil's Deli. Oh this 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:54.480 is in Minnesota. Yeah, in Saint Paul. He says, that 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:57.160 is the place to go. It's on six fifty one 0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:01.800 South Cleveland Avenue in Saint Paul. Says the best ruben 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:06.679 you will ever have. Juicy Lucy at Matts or five 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:10.120 twenty eight, I think have them both, says the Luth. 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.760 Minnesota is nice if you have time. It's about two 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:16.440 and a half hours away. I don't know if that's 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:20.160 a that's a that's a five hour commitment in the car. 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:22.719 I don't know that I want to spend that much 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:24.960 time in the car. I want to see stuff I 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.400 can see and move on. But I'm looking at this 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:32.120 deli and either it's because I'm fasting or this does 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:37.120 look really good. So I'm I'm considering I'm a sucker 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:41.440 for a delicatessant. I might have to to get over there. 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:43.959 I don't see any prices here. That scares me a 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.080 little bit. I don't see any prices on the on 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:50.640 the menu. I'm sure though, though they're Minnesota nice prices, right, 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:56.800 Danny g Right, everything's good homemade, everything's affordable, Yes, unless 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:57.080 it's not. 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:03.319 Are you gonna lay today? Go find the house that 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:06.480 they used at least for the outside for the scene 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:08.880 on the Mary Tyler Moore Show. 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:12.800 But as you know, I'm a huge fan of the 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:17.080 Mary Tyler Moore Show. And of course who wouldn't be 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:19.560 doing that, right? I put down the corn beef hash 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:26.160 and run off and do that Kevin in Kansas, Right, 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.960 So he says, dear Ben, when Fox gets around to 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:32.160 creating a new podcast promo that builds both you and 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:37.160 your home slice, Danny G, will that stop people from 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:41.400 asking about when Fox will actually update your promo? Says 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:44.240 I liked I like David G. But this Danny G 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:47.160 is outstanding. Keep up the great pods, guys. Yeah, so 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:51.200 this is still an issue that we're getting emails that 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:55.640 the podcast promo that airs on other iHeart podcasts is 0:14:55.760 --> 0:15:02.640 with David Ge and not Dan. And we have brought 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.000 this up multiple times. It appears to be something that 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:08.880 is impossible to fix. And you have a theory right 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:13.080 on this, Danny, that it's because people are not updating 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:16.080 these spots that are adding them to the different podcast 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:16.640 They're just. 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:21.359 Yeah, these are just some lazy butts that don't open 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:24.160 up the new versions of spots that they're supposed to 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:27.640 put in to podcasts. So they have the old version 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:30.120 and an old folder and they just grab it and 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:34.280 slap it in to new recordings. Whereas these emails that 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:37.440 come to us from management saying this week it's the 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.760 fifth Hour promo that we're playing and the new version 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:44.600 is attached to that email. Does everybody download that version? 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:53.280 No? Yeah, yeah, that's not not happen. Next up is 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:58.640 listener Jonathan, and he posted this on the show facebook page, 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.640 Jonathan listening to the Fifth r He did not say 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:04.200 where he is listening from, So I have no idea. 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:08.760 Parts unknown, parts unknown. It is not that hard. People 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:12.080 just put your name and location if you want a 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:16.600 shout out. But John or Jonathan as his parents named him, 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:20.000 says Ben. Do you recall when Tommy Lasorda had the 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:24.000 Montreal expos mascot tossed out. I just saw this yesterday 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:27.240 for the first time, and the comments said he had 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:33.640 a history with misbehaving mascots. I know you love Lesorta, 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:35.880 you have love for the sort of Any comments or 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:39.320 thoughts on that, I think that would be pretty cool. 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:43.040 When you think when you're thinking on the matter, what 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:47.160 you're thinking on the matter is so yeah, Jonathan, I 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:50.240 did not witness in person. I've seen the videos of 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:54.400 Thesorta going nuts with mascots, but I can't confirm. When 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.440 I covered the Dodgers and Losorda was still managing the team, 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:01.200 the Dodgers would always go on a coast swing, usually 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:08.000 in August, and it was always some combination of New York, Philadelphia, 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:11.560 and Montreal. It was the Northeast Corridor. They did all 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:14.439 three of those teams that would be the trip, and 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:18.600 it was always the West Coast team, so the Giants, Dodgers, 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:21.399 and Padres would all make the same road trip. But 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:25.919 before the road trip in the Dodger clubhouse when they 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:30.119 would go to Philadelphia or New York or Montreal. It 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.480 was a great trip for mascots because he had mister 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:38.600 met in Queens, you had Yupie in Montreal, and then 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:45.040 in Philly. The fanatic Thesorta is from. He was from Pennsylvania, Allentown, Pennsylvania, 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:47.360 so he always had a lot of friends and family. 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:49.960 When the Phillies, well, the sort of had friends everywhere. 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:52.719 But when the Phillies would play the Dodgers in Philadelphia 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:55.359 was like a big deal because his family that doesn't 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:57.200 live in LA would be able to go to the 0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:00.359 games and stuff. But I remember the tall in the 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:02.879 clubhouse was what was going to happen with the Philly fanatic. 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:05.480 That was the big one. That was the big one, 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:08.600 and the Sorta man, God rest his soul, he was 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:13.000 such a showman. He was such a bullshit artist that 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.680 he he would he would play it up. And the mascots. 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:20.480 That was back in the days before there was the 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:24.720 qorum and everything was all corporate, and you'd you'd go 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:27.480 into these other cities and it was like it was 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:31.640 like the Old West, and the mascots were purposely trying 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:34.960 to try to fuck with a Sorta and he didn't 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:37.840 he didn't mind. He would fight back with him. And 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:41.520 some of the funniest stories I heard was was people 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:45.439 on the Dodgers traveling party talking about the Sorta and 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:48.560 getting into it with the Philly fanatic and how things 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:51.480 would start out as a joke, the sorta was along 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:54.359 with the gag, and then the fanatic would do something 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:57.120 to piss off the Sorta and he had that fiery 0:18:57.200 --> 0:19:01.560 Italian temper and he would legitimately get upset with the 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:06.320 freaking mascot and it was hilarious. I mean some of 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:07.840 the stories that were told. I didn't hear as many 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:10.119 about the mascot in Montreal, but the one that I 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:14.960 remember hearing about year after year was the Philly Fanatic. 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.920 That that was the one that it would start out 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:22.600 all friendly and one thing led to another, and it 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:26.320 was it would the one year the Fanatic brought out 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:30.320 and like an effigy of the sorta, the stuffed a 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:33.280 stuffed doll of the sorta, and they had the Dodger 0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:37.040 jersey on and that drove Tommy nuts. He was so 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:40.600 because the Fanatic was tossing this thing around because it 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:43.119 was a stuffed animal, like a stuffed doll, or it was. 0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:47.320 It was funny anyway, So there you go. Fred in 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:51.080 Spring Texas writes in on the mail Bag. He says, guys, 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:56.159 great show. Do you ever feel stalled in your radio careers? 0:19:56.840 --> 0:19:59.960 I fear and fear rather having to look into other 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:06.119 other fields. That is from from Fred and our buddy 0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:09.399 in Spring Texas. So yeah, I think everyone feels at 0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:11.239 some point like you're kind of at a dn end. 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:13.600 Usually it's when you lose one of your jobs, and 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:15.760 then you're like, oh, it's hard to get on all 0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:19.959 these jobs and it's problematic and what's gonna happen and 0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:25.560 all that. But yeah, there's absolutely been some moments where 0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:28.080 I was like, Eh, that's it. I feel like I'm 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:29.720 in a good spot now. But if I had to 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:33.320 leave radio, I'd miss it. I'd do a podcast, but 0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:36.200 I'd probably just get a real job. I got bills 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:42.320 to pay, so I'd find something. What about you, Danny, like. 0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:45.119 You, I have a passion for radio. I love this. 0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:48.560 I can't really imagine doing anything else. I mean, obviously 0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:52.520 I've dabbled in education, so I would do that, I 0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:56.119 guess if radio wasn't on the table. Sometimes, though, I 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:59.560 look at my Google search and it's a very odd 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:04.520 list of things that I'm researching for both Covino and 0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:08.159 Rich and you, like, right now, the last thing I 0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:11.600 googled where is the house for the Mary Tyler Moore Show. 0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:15.399 And then later I'll look back at all the things 0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:18.520 I've googled over a week's time and I'm like, holy crap, 0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:23.280 what was going on on the air? And by the way, 0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:26.439 Alf would love this fun fact. Fans of that show. 0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:30.840 They know that place as one nineteen North Weatherly. It's 0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:35.040 located ben hundreds and hundreds of fans take photos in 0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:39.919 front of this mansion two to one zero four Kenwood Parkway. 0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:45.160 It's in an affluent neighborhood of Minneapolis. Oh yeah, two 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:48.960 to one zero four Kenwood Parkway. For our listeners who 0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:51.240 are in Minnesota this weekend. 0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:51.879 All right. 0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:57.320 A fun fact also about Minnesota that Dorothy Gale from 0:21:57.320 --> 0:22:01.960 the Wizard of US Judy Garland from from the Twin Cities. 0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:04.720 Fun fact. And you know she was under five feet tall. 0:22:04.760 --> 0:22:05.360 Did you know that? 0:22:05.840 --> 0:22:08.240 Didn't know that? Wow? She was a small person. 0:22:08.440 --> 0:22:11.720 Very small, but look big on television, look big on television. 0:22:11.800 --> 0:22:16.280 And one of our favorite baseball players growing up, Curby Pucket. 0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:20.919 The Beast, Yeah, the legend from Chicago but became famous 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:26.160 with the Twins. Vince Vaughan, famous, Vince Vaughn, he's from there. 0:22:26.359 --> 0:22:31.000 I think John Madden, the old broadcaster, also from from 0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:33.280 Minnesota's a bunch of famous people that have come out 0:22:33.320 --> 0:22:36.520 of the state of Minnesota. Now I just realized we're 0:22:36.480 --> 0:22:40.639 going to pause the mail bag because we did not 0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:42.359 get to on the Saturday po Becast. We were so 0:22:42.440 --> 0:22:45.000 flustered by everything that we had going on, we did 0:22:45.040 --> 0:22:49.120 not get to a very important cheesy word of the week. 0:22:49.119 --> 0:22:50.480 So I want to pause this. Can we get to 0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:51.840 the cheesy word of the week right now? 0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:55.600 A word of the week? Word of the week? Take 0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:59.240 me back to nineteen ninety nine. This used to be 0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:01.879 a segment on the Ben Mallor Weekend show. 0:23:03.240 --> 0:23:05.960 So the word of the week, and this came up 0:23:06.080 --> 0:23:10.360 on the Terrestrial radio show. We were doing cooking with Roberto, 0:23:11.160 --> 0:23:16.000 and Roberto had a recipe Danny g that involved Monterey 0:23:16.119 --> 0:23:19.680 Jack cheese. So we were going like, well, where did 0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:22.720 that name Monterey Jack cheese come from? We both assumed 0:23:22.760 --> 0:23:26.920 it came from Monterey, Mexico. So I did a little 0:23:26.960 --> 0:23:28.960 bit of research and it turns out it actually came 0:23:29.000 --> 0:23:34.080 from Monterey, California. But as Paul Harvey would say, you 0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:37.000 know the news, but now you're about to find the 0:23:37.119 --> 0:23:39.360
