Speaker 1: Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of
Speaker 1: the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the rich
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse to clearing house of hot takes,
Speaker 1: break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben

Speaker 1: not because let's jump right. I don't want to waste
Speaker 1: eight time, Danny. We're not wasting eight time here, Okay,
Speaker 1: We're not messing around. I want to get pure, authentic questions,
Speaker 1: bring the gap for the mail bag, and we must
Speaker 1: start out the proper way. Let's give it up now
Speaker 1: to the musical stylings of Ohio All it's all right,
Speaker 1: let's go right to it. And these are actual questions
Speaker 1: by actual listeners. Want to thank all of you who
Speaker 1: submitted questions this week and the fifth our Real Fifth
Speaker 1: Hour at gmail dot com, All letters, no numbers, Real
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour at gmail dot com if you would like
Speaker 1: to submit a question, or the show Facebook page Ben
Speaker 1: Mallard Show, Ben Mallars Show. We have a nice mix
Speaker 1: of spices here, Danny, some sport old questions which we
Speaker 1: don't normally take, and then a lot of questions which
Speaker 1: we do take, which are about us in life and
Speaker 1: things like that. So the first one on the mail
Speaker 1: bag comes from ozzywas on the International mail Bag from
Speaker 1: Southern Cross Western Australia. He says, Hey, Big Ben, I
Speaker 1: listened to these Saturday podcast and you were talking about
Speaker 1: kangaroo leather used by Nike in boots. He says, to
Speaker 1: my knowledge, this has been done for quite some time.
Speaker 1: He says, there's a couple of suppliers that do do
Speaker 1: it as they claim it soft and durable, and he
Speaker 1: claims and he should oh this because he lives in
Speaker 1: Australia as he was. He says, there are no farms
Speaker 1: as such. They are killed by professional shooters in the
Speaker 1: wild and then shipped to the to the market for
Speaker 1: their high to be used for leather and the meat
Speaker 1: used for steaks that you can buy in supermarkets. And
Speaker 1: he says it does actually taste pretty good and also
Speaker 1: pet food, so you can buy some kangaroo pet food
Speaker 1: for your for your dog. He says it's gaming meat
Speaker 1: and best done medium to get the best flavor. He says,
Speaker 1: I found a description to give you guys an idea.
Speaker 1: He says, kangaroo meat is usually uniquely lean with a
Speaker 1: rich and robust flavor. See robust could be good or bad, right, Danny,
Speaker 1: that doesn't sound good? Yeah, He says it's comparable to
Speaker 1: game yeah food. He's love it for its bold and
Speaker 1: earthy flavors, he says, still being low and fat at
Speaker 1: the same time, yet high and iron and zinc. It
Speaker 1: has a stronger flavor than beef or lamb and is
Speaker 1: similar to lean leanness. The texture leanness of chicken or
Speaker 1: rabbit rabbit. I knew I should have made a left
Speaker 1: chin at out, but Quakey, would you eat a kangaroo burger?
Speaker 1: And I, um, I'm good. You ever had a bison burger?
Speaker 1: You ever had that? Yeah? Yeah, I mentioned that a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. Right, yeah, I'm not you had
Speaker 1: a weird aftertaste. I said, people do go out and
Speaker 1: hunt rabbits. They still buffalo me at Costco here you
Speaker 1: can get buffalo ground beef. So that's Ozzy was thank you,
Speaker 1: Assy was for the He's our inside. Any questions you have,
Speaker 1: if you want to pass, we can pass a question
Speaker 1: on to Ozzy. Was this guy knows everything. This guy
Speaker 1: is on the chain of commerce Danny in Western Australia.
Speaker 1: He is our go to source for all things in Australia.
Speaker 1: And I was watching a documentary I love these dopey
Speaker 1: documentaries about Australia last weekend and they pointed out why
Speaker 1: population wise Australia, there's hardly anyone living in Australia compared
Speaker 1: to the size of the country. And you know, they
Speaker 1: pointed out because the lack of water. I got a
Speaker 1: question for him, what kind of knife does he carry,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, And does he wear one of those crocodile
Speaker 1: Dundee type hats? And does he hate crocodile Dundee for
Speaker 1: using every stereotype from Australia. That's a lord. So like,
Speaker 1: this guy's a douche bag man. How dare him? He's
Speaker 1: detached from reality. That's not how we really live here
Speaker 1: in the outback. How dare you? All right? Next up
Speaker 1: on the mailbag, twizzle T, and he's saying hello to
Speaker 1: Ben and and to you, Danny H to me and
Speaker 1: you uh, he says, well and nice. First of all,
Speaker 1: twizzle T. By the review, he says, how do you
Speaker 1: handle when a neighbor parks on the street in front
Speaker 1: of your house? I feel like I pay taxes on
Speaker 1: that stretch of road and we'll do what I can
Speaker 1: to prevent it. I'll hang up and listen. That's some
Speaker 1: twizzle T. So Twizzle T, it's a great thing. I'm
Speaker 1: glad you brought this up, because this is another one
Speaker 1: of those domestic disputes that we have, Danny, Like, we
Speaker 1: moved out in the north Woods now and it's a
Speaker 1: little different situation than we've had in the past. So
Speaker 1: there are people occasion that will park in front of
Speaker 1: the Mallard mansion. It drives me nuts, right because not
Speaker 1: that I own the space, it is the street. But
Speaker 1: there are other places to park where you're not blocking someone,
Speaker 1: you're not in front of the house. And my wife's like,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, don't, don't who cares, you know, whatever
Speaker 1: there they have the right to park there, and I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: that's kind of annoying. It's kind of a douche move,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, and so I'm I'm I'm just
Speaker 1: like this guy, twizzle t. Where do you stand on
Speaker 1: this very important issue, Danny, When strangers are parking their
Speaker 1: car in front of your home, it depends how long
Speaker 1: they've parked there. Do they see it as long term parking,
Speaker 1: because then it's an issue. And if they try to
Speaker 1: park it right in front of your house long term,
Speaker 1: then you do what my stepdad did when I was
Speaker 1: a kid. Stand out there with a really ugly look
Speaker 1: on your face and just observe the land. And he
Speaker 1: would be I'm not kidding you, Ben, he would be
Speaker 1: out there for an hour staring at the cars, and
Speaker 1: so he was so ominous. He had such an aura
Speaker 1: about him in an asshole kind of way that it
Speaker 1: to toured people from parking right in front of our crib.
Speaker 1: So he had a scowl. Yeah, pretty much. He had
Speaker 1: that look on his face of I'm gonna fuck your
Speaker 1: car up. Yeah, now I got one for you. When
Speaker 1: I lived in Hollywood or Hollywood Adjason, Uh, one of
Speaker 1: the name Abers was very possessive of the part. And
Speaker 1: I had like an apartment as it was kind of
Speaker 1: an apartment building, but there were houses mixed in in
Speaker 1: the neighborhood. And uh, this guy he got those you know,
Speaker 1: those orange construction traffic cones. Yeah, I don't know whether
Speaker 1: he stole them or not, but he had some and
Speaker 1: uh yeah, he put it out. In fact, when we
Speaker 1: were having I I just remembered this. I can't believe
Speaker 1: I forgot about this, but it's it's something that would
Speaker 1: apply to the story. So when we were renovating the
Speaker 1: Mallard mansion, the contractor had hired some guys that we're from,
Speaker 1: from Menco. Right, So maybe they were maybe they had
Speaker 1: their papers, maybe they did not have They were good
Speaker 1: hard working people and you know, the contractor hired him whatever,
Speaker 1: and they had a lot of trucks coming and going
Speaker 1: to work on the on the house, and so they
Speaker 1: put out We came to to look one day to
Speaker 1: see how the progress was going on the renovations, and
Speaker 1: there was an orange a couple of orange traffic cones,
Speaker 1: but they had the name of a city that we
Speaker 1: don't we don't live in, like the guys that's stolen
Speaker 1: it from another and it's like the city works for
Speaker 1: the name of the city that it was from. Uh.
Speaker 1: And I was like, you know, I think that's a
Speaker 1: dead giveaway. I don't I don't think it's hard to
Speaker 1: know that. I don't think that the police are going
Speaker 1: to arrest you for that or whatever. But it was
Speaker 1: pretty amusing when you pull up to look at the
Speaker 1: renovations and you see some orange cones in front of
Speaker 1: your house, and then you you see the city and
Speaker 1: it's not the city you're in. You know, it's like,
Speaker 1: what's going on there? Man? What's up with that? When
Speaker 1: the orange cone say Salt Lake, Like yeah, yeah, it's something, yeah,
Speaker 1: might be stolen. Yeah. When you look out your house
Speaker 1: you see Albuquerque, You're like, well, wait a minute, I
Speaker 1: don't leave an Albuquerque. Yeah, all right. Next up on
Speaker 1: the mailbag, these are actual questions by actual listening hers,
Speaker 1: and we do thank you for sending these in. I
Speaker 1: have a lot of fun with this every week, and
Speaker 1: we like that there's new people that are chiming in.
Speaker 1: It's great, too great to see that wonderful. Let's see
Speaker 1: Pat right, And he says, why is Angry Bill not
Speaker 1: banned for life? He's a dufus and can't answer questions
Speaker 1: any nine year old Garrold could. And he says, while
Speaker 1: you're at it, band blind Scott? What Blind Scott very
Speaker 1: polarizing in the Mallard militia, so so Pat Blind. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna addrest the blind Scott mother Scott's Welcome to
Speaker 1: College show. He's done some crazy things. He's quite the
Speaker 1: character on the show, and he's done some douchey things.
Speaker 1: But overall, I think Scott's good for the show and
Speaker 1: I like him. He's a great character. He's done some
Speaker 1: crazy things around the streets of Boston. So and I've
Speaker 1: met him, I've hung out with him, and I knew Cramer.
Speaker 1: I don't know Dylan, but but I'm all for that.
Speaker 1: But in terms of Angry Bill, I didn't ban him
Speaker 1: for life. I just banned him from the game game shows.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're aware of this, Danny, but
Speaker 1: we we every week we've played different games. As you know,
Speaker 1: Mallard's Mounting of Money and Angry Bill called it. We
Speaker 1: had a baseball heavy edition. So he calls up to
Speaker 1: play this douche canoe Angry Bill and the questions. It's
Speaker 1: on a sliding scale, so you start out with the
Speaker 1: easier questions and you work a way up to the
Speaker 1: hardest questions. Questions welcome to our world, and Angry Bills.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'll be fine. Whatever. Now, we did say
Speaker 1: they were going to be mostly baseball questions, but the
Speaker 1: first two questions, we're let me see if you can
Speaker 1: get these right. Danny the current starting quarterback for the
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs right now in the Super Bowl. Oh, Chad, Henny, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: And uh sharp shooter for the Golden State Warriors, one
Speaker 1: of the Splash Brothers, considered the greatest shooter in NBA history.
Speaker 1: Uh oh, I know this, um shoot? Hang on, hang
Speaker 1: on all right, Richmond, Mitch Richmond, I thought you might
Speaker 1: go Sadale three. I thought you might go that or
Speaker 1: who was that other guy they had that? Well, Sadale
Speaker 1: three was he bounced? Who was the Terry Teage remember Tea, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Terry Teagel. Winston Garland's another old Yeah, I had a
Speaker 1: great midway mid range jump shot. Winston Garland he played
Speaker 1: with the Clippers too. But I remember a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of kids at school rocking the Chris Mullen hair cut
Speaker 1: for a while, the buzz cut. Yeah. Yeah. When I
Speaker 1: was a kid, we went to the Bay Area for
Speaker 1: some kind of event. And this was when Mullen and
Speaker 1: Hardaway and Richmond were like the big stars. And I
Speaker 1: was convinced based on how much attention that Warrior team
Speaker 1: was getting, that this was like the greatest team in
Speaker 1: the NBA. And like they were like so excited. People
Speaker 1: were like fired out. There were wearing Golden State Warrior
Speaker 1: jackets and hats and all that stuff. A round the
Speaker 1: Bay was like a big deal. And so I was like,
Speaker 1: oh man, this must be like a really good team.
Speaker 1: You know, there are a couple of runs here and there,
Speaker 1: but anyway, um, so yeah, Pat Angry Bill has been
Speaker 1: banned from the game shows, but he's got no life.
Speaker 1: If I banned him, I don't know what's going to
Speaker 1: happen to him. Gordon says, you guys are killing my
Speaker 1: sleep time. I now wake up at two am every night.
Speaker 1: Good stuff, right people, funny sticks? Well, thank you, Danny.
Speaker 1: Do you want to be the person to let Gordon
Speaker 1: know there's a podcast You don't have to get up
Speaker 1: at two in the morning every night. You can get
Speaker 1: up whenever you want and hear the podcast. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I think that's a comment directed at your live show,
Speaker 1: not the podcast. But we get cross traffic from time
Speaker 1: to time. Speaking of which, I've mentioned that Mark the
Speaker 1: full name guy has been a caller on Covino and
Speaker 1: Rich crossover caller, crossover caller, god Ben. Some of the
Speaker 1: stuff that comes out of that guy's mouth, you would
Speaker 1: have loved it. Past week on the show, Linda Ronstad
Speaker 1: has been a topic of conversation. One of her hit
Speaker 1: songs from back in the Day has blown up again
Speaker 1: and has been downloaded by like five percent because it
Speaker 1: was on that hit TV show The Last of Us
Speaker 1: on HBO Max, and because of how it was on
Speaker 1: that episode three, everybody's been downloading the song and she's
Speaker 1: back in the news. So they're talking about this on
Speaker 1: the air and Mark calls up shares with the Fellas
Speaker 1: that he had an affair back in the day. Uh he.
Speaker 1: He claims he did not know it was her until
Speaker 1: she left. I'm not so sure that he's the perfect
Speaker 1: role model outside of football that he's made out to me,
Speaker 1: you know what. So Yt par of the business as
Speaker 1: part of the business that I don't like. So I
Speaker 1: don't really want to talk about it. He had a
Speaker 1: great career and I wish him luck. I didn't want
Speaker 1: to say, though I knew Whenda Ronstad were a very
Speaker 1: brief time lucky her. I don't know about it. I
Speaker 1: don't know how lucky she was. Did you quarter her?
Speaker 1: Did you, Mark? She walked away from me. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you that, Mark, Mark, come me ask you. You could
Speaker 1: tell the Fox Sports Radio Nation. But you gotta be honest, though,
Speaker 1: Did you make love to Linda that I knew Linda
Speaker 1: rons that I didn't even know I was with Linda
Speaker 1: Ronstadt un till a moment she walked away from me, Mark,
Speaker 1: I'll be honest. I would give you a fake name too,
Speaker 1: kind of Boisey Bob Man going, gentlemen, that's funny. You
Speaker 1: better get that bright here now, Mark, Mark. I I
Speaker 1: could send you a And I don't think he listens
Speaker 1: to the podcast, so it's kind of it's open season.
Speaker 1: A couple of things. I Marked the Full Name Guy. Uh,
Speaker 1: he's been banned from the show before for he got
Speaker 1: so upset with me. He talked about I think you
Speaker 1: were with me when he talked about justifiable homicide for
Speaker 1: the things I said. And uh, yeah, so that's the
Speaker 1: first thing that pops up when you think about Marked
Speaker 1: the Full Name Guy. He's much more mellow now as
Speaker 1: since he moved to Oregon and he left the hard
Speaker 1: scrabble streets behind, he's he's much more mellow and so
Speaker 1: so that's good and he amazing that he landed in
Speaker 1: Genie's hometown. I know of all the place. And he
Speaker 1: was living in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco, which
Speaker 1: is an absolute rat hole, right, I mean it's it's
Speaker 1: a really bad part of San Francisco or there's a
Speaker 1: lot of debauchery going on and just sodom and gomorrah.
Speaker 1: And he got out of there and he moved, but
Speaker 1: he's sent me he's told me for years that he
Speaker 1: had an affair with Linda Ronstat, that the mob was
Speaker 1: chasing him, there's like seven or eight. Didn't realize So
Speaker 1: he's told you this story before. No, no, he has
Speaker 1: told me that story before. He's so who knows. Maybe
Speaker 1: he's some Do you think there might have been a
Speaker 1: woman because Lenda want Ronstad was a big deal back
Speaker 1: in her day, Yeah, you think you might might have
Speaker 1: been a woman that kind of looked like her. That
Speaker 1: as a gag when they ended the Flames, she like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm Linda Ronstad. How many other Mallard
Speaker 1: guys called the show? Has there anybody else? Do we
Speaker 1: any regulars that call? I think I've mentioned this before.
Speaker 1: It's just been him and Plastered Paul, plastered Paul. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he called the other day their play. He was completely
Speaker 1: gone snocker. I thought, I think this guy's a Rob
Speaker 1: Parker guy. There's a teacher from the Commonwealth. Andre. He
Speaker 1: loves calling sports radio. I think Andre. I think he
Speaker 1: calls Rob, though I don't think he calls He calls
Speaker 1: me and Rob. I think that's I think he's been
Speaker 1: on a time or two on every show. He gets
Speaker 1: Are you saying he gets around? Is that what you're saying? Yeah,
Speaker 1: A little bit around, Like we like people who listen
Speaker 1: to the entire network. Yeah, share with everybody. We're all
Speaker 1: one big, happy family unless we reach our bowling point
Speaker 1: and then we're not. But use your moniker, That's what
Speaker 1: I would say, because he calls up as market Medford. Yeah,
Speaker 1: don't hide from it, don't run away from And he's
Speaker 1: still the full name guy, although he probably doesn't know
Speaker 1: Covino and Rich's last name, so he can't be the
Speaker 1: full name guy with me. Is I Ben Mallard, Bed
Speaker 1: Maller or bed Baal or bed Baal or you know
Speaker 1: like that everything else? So anyway, next up on the mailbag,
Speaker 1: we have Kevin in Kansas, a regular contribute to this content.
Speaker 1: He feeds the content plate every week. He says, Ben
Speaker 1: and Danny g you both have vast awareness and appreciation
Speaker 1: of music from the earlier years of rock and roll.
Speaker 1: If you could go back and watch a performance of
Speaker 1: singers or groups no longer together or even alive, who
Speaker 1: would you like to see? So I would say, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna refer to you, Danny, because you really are the
Speaker 1: music guy as a as a DJ, I was briefly
Speaker 1: a DJ, but just in college, and I like music.
Speaker 1: I listen to music. I don't know that I have
Speaker 1: the music gene, so you would be the better guy.
Speaker 1: He answers, I will answer it, but I want you
Speaker 1: to go first on this one, so you're in the
Speaker 1: battess box right right. So I would have Johnny Cash
Speaker 1: open for Tupac, who then has Biggie joined him on
Speaker 1: stage for a duet just like that. Boom done, Boom,
Speaker 1: John and Cash, Tupac Biggie. Well, I definitely have Johnny
Speaker 1: Cash on my my list. I'm also curious. I've heard
Speaker 1: stories since I was a little boy about Elvis Presley,
Speaker 1: so I wonder, like Elvis before he became fat Elvis Like,
Speaker 1: not that I necessarily like a huge fan of his music,
Speaker 1: but I wonder what that was like like when he
Speaker 1: became a thing. So Johnny Cash, Elvis, and as far
Speaker 1: as like a band, who would would think of the
Speaker 1: biggest I guess would be the Beatles, but any of
Speaker 1: those rock bands over the years that really took off
Speaker 1: in the early days before they kind of took off.
Speaker 1: When I think about falling soldiers in in rock music,
Speaker 1: I mean Kurt Cobain comes to mind, because we were
Speaker 1: kids at the time, so it never got to see
Speaker 1: Nirvan alive. Um also a big Stone Temple Pilots fan
Speaker 1: from back in the day, and their lead singer unfortunately
Speaker 1: passed away. I did get to see him perform once,
Speaker 1: but it was for Velvet Revolver, not Stone Pilots. So
Speaker 1: I would like to go back in time and see
Speaker 1: him play live with Stone Temple Pilots. Absolutely all right,
Speaker 1: thank you Kevin for that. Next up, Kyrie in Okay
Speaker 1: see Rights and he says, shout out to the best
Speaker 1: weekend podcast crew out there. Well, it's very nice. Thank you,
Speaker 1: hands down, he says, thanks for all your advice and
Speaker 1: hard work you guys do I know I speak for
Speaker 1: the entire militia of our appreciation and love for you
Speaker 1: guys all week and weekend long. Anyway, you guys make
Speaker 1: me laugh and get through hard times with my bipolar
Speaker 1: or chores around the house or whatever, a busybody stuff
Speaker 1: that I think they call that adulting, right, the chores
Speaker 1: and stuff you gotta do, it's adulting what he likes that.
Speaker 1: My question is what are your escapes when you're mad
Speaker 1: or upset? What do you listen to or watch to
Speaker 1: make you you guys feel better. You guys are therapeutic
Speaker 1: to me once again, thank for everything you do. I
Speaker 1: much love from Kyrie in Oksey. Thank you Kyrie, very
Speaker 1: kind of you. So I'm a big food guy. I
Speaker 1: don't need a lot anymore because I'm on this O
Speaker 1: Cockta diet, this in a minute fasting. But when I'm
Speaker 1: depressed or someone i know sick or dying or dies,
Speaker 1: I I immediately go to comfort food, Danny. That's my thing.
Speaker 1: That's that makes me feel better. It's not necessarily listening
Speaker 1: to anything or watching anything. It's eating something that makes
Speaker 1: me feel better, and also going for a nice walk
Speaker 1: and kind of clearing my head. Um, those would be
Speaker 1: it would be the two things that I do. I
Speaker 1: would say more times than anything. What about you. It's
Speaker 1: funny that we were just talking about Kurt Cobain because
Speaker 1: he's inspired me over the years to take up heroin.
Speaker 1: Whenever I'm upset, I'm on drugs right now, man, Yeah
Speaker 1: uh no, Um, you know it's music for me. I
Speaker 1: will put on some really good hip hop. I'll put
Speaker 1: on some classic wrap, I'll put on some gangs to wrap.
Speaker 1: If I'm upset, put on West Side Connection, um, and
Speaker 1: then I'll also play some alternative rocks. So it just depends.
Speaker 1: But I think music for me and driving fast like
Speaker 1: that's a good outlet. You know. If I could have
Speaker 1: a racetrack, I don't know what it is, but when
Speaker 1: you really put your foot on the gas pedal, it's
Speaker 1: such a good feeling in it and it gets all
Speaker 1: the crap out of your system. Well, it's like a
Speaker 1: time machine. You're you're going fast through time. You're you're
Speaker 1: navigating your way through. Yeah. I feel like NASCAR drivers,
Speaker 1: whatever is on their mind or weighing on their shoulders
Speaker 1: after a race, they must feel free from a lot
Speaker 1: of that because they got that hug, your adrenaline rush.
Speaker 1: You want to be in the fast and furious if
Speaker 1: they make another one of those, Danny want to be
Speaker 1: in that the next thing. I would love to drive
Speaker 1: some of those cars. You'd be like, we have a
Speaker 1: caller on the Overnight Show, Butch who's from America. He's
Speaker 1: an expat, he lives in Germany, and he calls us up.
Speaker 1: He claims, I don't know, maybe he's lying, but he
Speaker 1: calls us up from the Autoba, where there's no speed lam.
Speaker 1: He can go however fast you want on the Autoba.
Speaker 1: I would love that. Yeah, for sure, all right. Next
Speaker 1: up is Nicholas from St. Louis. Now this is an
Speaker 1: interesting one. We'll have to follow up on this one.
Speaker 1: He says he wanted my address. He says his wedding
Speaker 1: is next year. He says me and my wife, Uh,
Speaker 1: we will We want to invite you, he said, here,
Speaker 1: we gonna send an invitation. We are lifetime listeners. Wow,
Speaker 1: how about that day. That's kind of neat, that's very flattering.
Speaker 1: I've been invited a few times over the years. I've
Speaker 1: been unable to attend any of these things. So far,
Speaker 1: I've never been to St. Louis for for any any
Speaker 1: real time. What do you think I should go to
Speaker 1: a listener wedding? Have you ever? Has anyone ever asked
Speaker 1: you to officiate a wedding? Before? I did get asked actually, uh,
Speaker 1: last and I won't say the name because they don't
Speaker 1: want the name. But it was it. It's two years ago.
Speaker 1: It's during COVID and it's kind of COVID was still
Speaker 1: going on. It was a Vegas wedding and they asked
Speaker 1: if I would be the like, like the master of
Speaker 1: ceremonies or whatever, and I I did think about it.
Speaker 1: I thought it would be good, and I'm usually like
Speaker 1: cool with it because I liked the story and I
Speaker 1: think it would be a good story. But I did
Speaker 1: did not. I don't think the schedule worked out. I
Speaker 1: wasn't able to do it, which sucked. So what about you?
Speaker 1: Have you ever done anything like that? No? I mean
Speaker 1: we did it on the radio years ago as a
Speaker 1: stunt on our billboard. Yeah, I remember, I think you
Speaker 1: talked about that. Yeah. It was right next to the
Speaker 1: one on one Freeway and I had Warren g as
Speaker 1: the best man, which was pretty funny. So we had
Speaker 1: the song, the classic song Regulate playing in the background
Speaker 1: while my morning show co host married his lovely bride
Speaker 1: on our billboard. That is classic. What are we looking at?
Speaker 1: Nineties radios? That were classic late nineties radio day traffic
Speaker 1: jam and we got a harsh warning from the Ventura
Speaker 1: County Sheriff's Department. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. That's that's great. I'll
Speaker 1: have to tell you my my fireboats stories. Sometimes I
Speaker 1: haven't told that one in a while. After somebody Timmy
Speaker 1: wants that, send a question and I'll forget. I have
Speaker 1: a great fireboat story from San Francisco. We've got a
Speaker 1: few sporty questions. Kind of bunched these altogether, Neil in
Speaker 1: fabulous Muncie, Indiana. Right, since this, do you believe the
Speaker 1: Chiefs only committed four penalties in the ANFC Championship? Curtly
Speaker 1: Scott and Charlotte says, how many blown calls and big
Speaker 1: games will it take for for someone turns Roger Gadell
Speaker 1: upside down to shake his wallet check book out of
Speaker 1: his trousers and make NFL referees a full time position.
Speaker 1: Todd and Iowa says, you want to know what we
Speaker 1: thought about the super Bowl, and then you have some
Speaker 1: other sporting questions. Um, and so will the rapid fire here?
Speaker 1: So did the Chiefs only commit four penalties? No, of
Speaker 1: course not. Of course they didn't commit only four penalties.
Speaker 1: That's absurd. But the they their penalties on every play.
Speaker 1: The officials just chose to only call four penalties in
Speaker 1: that one uh And and Scott. The NFL will not
Speaker 1: make the officials full time because they like the set
Speaker 1: up they have. They feel like it's a waste of money.
Speaker 1: They feel like there's not enough for the officials to do,
Speaker 1: and that it's subjective and even if they hired officials
Speaker 1: full time. It really wouldn't change things. So why waste
Speaker 1: the money? Why waste the money? And uh so, if
Speaker 1: I saw you guys for the questions, will do a
Speaker 1: couple more. Corey writes, and I have you guys ever
Speaker 1: been in a fist fight? I think we've been asked
Speaker 1: that before, Danny, we've gotten into that. Nick in Wisconsin,
Speaker 1: says Ben, and Danny g I walked my oldest child
Speaker 1: to school every day, and we walk home every afternoon
Speaker 1: unless it's negative fifteen like it is today when I'm
Speaker 1: submitting this question. When you were growing up, did you
Speaker 1: walk to school? Did your parents drop you off? Or
Speaker 1: did you ride the bus? If you rode the bus,
Speaker 1: where would you sit? I sat in the very back,
Speaker 1: like the evil child I was, says Nick. So my
Speaker 1: childhood it was a little bit of everything I grew
Speaker 1: up in, Like Maybury. I was surrounded by orange groves,
Speaker 1: and I walked to school some of the time, but
Speaker 1: I was a fat kid, so I I actually took
Speaker 1: the bus. And sometimes if I missed the bus and
Speaker 1: overslept or whatnot, I couldn't walk, my mom would drop
Speaker 1: me off. So it was a little bit of everything.
Speaker 1: When I was on up and on the bus, I
Speaker 1: always wanted to sit in the back, but occasionally I
Speaker 1: had to sit in the middle or the front. But
Speaker 1: I always you always wanted to be the kid in
Speaker 1: the back. That's like the coolest man. You're like the
Speaker 1: boss in the back. You look at the back window.
Speaker 1: It's the way to go. What about you, Danny? Yeah,
Speaker 1: similar for me and rialto California. When I was a
Speaker 1: little kid, it was kind of the hood and it
Speaker 1: was not a nice neighborhood. And I don't know why
Speaker 1: parents were like this back then in the in the
Speaker 1: mid to late eighties, but my mom let us walk
Speaker 1: the three blocks, and those three blocks were an adventure.
Speaker 1: I'm talking groups of uh stray dogs that would chase us. Um.
Speaker 1: It was that thing where I had to pretend like
Speaker 1: I was picking up a big rock and then you
Speaker 1: fake throw at the group of dogs and they would scatter,
Speaker 1: and then I would run. And there was a back
Speaker 1: entrance into the school and I would sneak through the
Speaker 1: gate and run across the big soccer field to get
Speaker 1: to the school was some ship and I was in
Speaker 1: the first grade. Can you imagine nowadays in a parents saying,
Speaker 1: all right, by first grader, you go walk three blocks
Speaker 1: through the hood. Yeah, And I like my mom, I
Speaker 1: always I am a Jewish mother. I thought she's very protective.
Speaker 1: But now looking back at some of the ships she
Speaker 1: allowed me to do, I was like, well, man, I
Speaker 1: don't know I got to do like as I remember,
Speaker 1: I did stuff I like today. I don't know that
Speaker 1: that would happen at all, like stuff that I just
Speaker 1: like randomly did. So anyway, Sarah from Minnesota, right since
Speaker 1: says I bet. She says, bet, I found your your segment. Well,
Speaker 1: that won't stop. Bet, I found your segment on Bally's Sports.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we did a monologue about that Bally's Diamond bankruptcy. Interesting, uh,
Speaker 1: says Also, none of these sports talking people are talking
Speaker 1: about it. The ripple effect for at least the NBA,
Speaker 1: Major League, basically the NHL seems like it would be
Speaker 1: quite something. When a rumor is leaked, you always say
Speaker 1: who benefits by the leak? My question is, why aren't
Speaker 1: any of these sports talkers talking about this? Who is
Speaker 1: benefiting from the leak? Well, that is not so much
Speaker 1: of a of a leak per se as it's it's
Speaker 1: on the public record like that's that is a gigantic mess.
Speaker 1: And I actually feel bad for the Bally's people. Not
Speaker 1: to get too much into the weeds here, but she
Speaker 1: did ask Sarah, because they just bought naming rights, it's
Speaker 1: actually that diamond company that is having the financial issues
Speaker 1: that they've messed it up, and it will have a
Speaker 1: massive effect. But a lot of the reason that talking
Speaker 1: heads on television aren't talking about is because their competitors.
Speaker 1: That's part of it. They don't want to talk about it. Um.
Speaker 1: But it's a gigantic uh a cluster, shall we say,
Speaker 1: and and so it's a gigantic message. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: playing out through the court system, and they're depending on
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball in the NBA bailing them out, and
Speaker 1: we'll see whether that happens or not. She also says,
Speaker 1: if you go to Minnesota, please go after April nineteen
Speaker 1: the weather will be better. Yeah. I haven't formalized any
Speaker 1: plans yet. I'm still looking at some dates in April,
Speaker 1: and maybe I'll have to go in in May or
Speaker 1: so I don't want to go when it's like nasty.
Speaker 1: If I'm gonna do that, I might as well go
Speaker 1: doing football and see a Viking game. Mike from Fullerton
Speaker 1: rights and he says, Hey, Ben, do you consider Mallard
Speaker 1: to the third degree the backbone of the show. I
Speaker 1: assume it must be a very popular segment, since sometimes
Speaker 1: you bump it for ratings purposes. I'd also like to
Speaker 1: ask Danny g what he thinks the best segment is
Speaker 1: of Cavino and rich That's a loaded question. Uh so, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the third degrees been part of the show for a
Speaker 1: long time. It's fun. It used to be a little
Speaker 1: bit longer. It's kind of rapid fire. Now I like it.
Speaker 1: Rapid fire. Keep the thing moving, keep the train moving.
Speaker 1: But we we don't typically cancel it. We keep it around.
Speaker 1: What about your opinion of Cavino and Rich In there
Speaker 1: their number one secon. Yeah. One thing that's been nice
Speaker 1: about producing their show is I got to come up
Speaker 1: with the benchmarks. There's one each day, and the one
Speaker 1: that I helped them build for Tuesdays, as you know
Speaker 1: because you participate in it, is Iron Mike Trivia, and
Speaker 1: that one's really close to my heart because the idea
Speaker 1: came to me whenever I would hear Covino do his
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson impersonation. I thought about it, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I could do something with that, and because he can
Speaker 1: keep that going for a long time, and so I
Speaker 1: was like, man, I will do trivia but in the
Speaker 1: first person and pretend like he's there in studio, and
Speaker 1: it all just kind of came together. It seemed very
Speaker 1: silly to everybody at first, but now it's everybody's face
Speaker 1: for it. And in fact, then I did a Tuesday
Speaker 1: take over. The past couple of weeks, his Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: impersonation has come in handy because Mike has been bumped
Speaker 1: for fake Patrick Mahomes. I'm really sorry, Mike, How are
Speaker 1: you gonna let this happen to him? Did it? My job? Didn't?
Speaker 1: Did it? Myra? You just can't come in here? And
Speaker 1: like we did take over in diff respect like that?
Speaker 1: Why not did that? Mike typon? You get the week off, Mike?
Speaker 1: Oh nice, showtime Mahomes trivia the past two weeks because
Speaker 1: I'm running out of Mike Tyson trivia questions. Okay, well
Speaker 1: that's good one. And Mahomes is like the Muppet Grovers,
Speaker 1: so over. Vino does a really good job of the
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes impersonation. The challenge was he didn't know if
Speaker 1: he could keep mahomes going for sentences and sentences and sentences,
Speaker 1: because as you know, some people can do impersonations, but
Speaker 1: just by catch phrases on the mic. But to have
Speaker 1: a whole conversation with somebody, that's a whole another story. Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Uh what else do we have here? Uh, let's see
Speaker 1: page down. I don't have a lot of time left here.
Speaker 1: We gotta gotta put the baby to bed. But I
Speaker 1: did want to say here. We got an email Jennifer,
Speaker 1: our friend from from Virginia. Jennifer, she she's a little upset.
Speaker 1: We talked about the cheese Castle. She did not know
Speaker 1: about the cheese Castle, so she I'm assuming next time
Speaker 1: she's in that area she's gonna stop at the the
Speaker 1: Cheese Castle on her way to Minnesota. Her son moved there,
Speaker 1: working in the Twin Cities, and she says she's got
Speaker 1: another son. She told me this before. It's moving out
Speaker 1: to California. And she claims Danny that she's planning her
Speaker 1: next trip to Minnesota in April for her son's birthdays
Speaker 1: and and also go to the meeting, which would be great.
Speaker 1: Be careful, though, hold off Jennifer until we get the
Speaker 1: actual date. I will let you know. As soon as
Speaker 1: we get an actual date, lockdown, I will let you know.
