He's the last remnants of 0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.920 the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats 0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:15.800 crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich 0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:20.200 pill poppers in the penthouse, the Clearinghouse of Hot takes 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:24.080 break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben 0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:32.320 Maller starts right now in the air everywhere, The Fifth 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:38.879 Hour with Ben Mallard and Danny g Radio. Because five 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:43.680 nights a week, in four hours a night are not enough. 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:48.280 It's not trigonometry. So we are here for the Saturday 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:53.760 podcast Danny Evie Amazing Mystery Tour, the Amazing Mystery Tour 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:58.400 here which is going to blow everyone away. This's a 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:02.280 bottom my rady to bring the gap. So on this 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:07.320 edition of the podcast, we have a pot pourri of issues. 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:13.039 We've got raising Arizona, deep fake and nin on one 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:18.720 standing by possibly not in that order, plus Backscratcher and 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:24.319 whatever else happens whenever else comes up on the conversation. 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:28.920 Let's get right into it on this edition of the 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:37.440 Fifth Hour, and we start this past Friday. This is 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:40.399 a this is a podcast exclusive. What I'm about to 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:45.280 tell Danny. Nobody else has this content, all right, and 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:48.360 everyone wishes they had the content, but they don't. We're 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:52.280 the only audio program that has this. I feel like 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:58.200 we said this on our podcast last weekend too. Yeah yeah, yeah, 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:01.080 But I did something I've never done before or and 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:04.600 I saved it for the podcast. Nobody knows this outside 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:08.200 of my family. You pay me five dollars, I'll endorse 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:14.639 a game magazine. But this past Friday was a crazy 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:20.840 zany day. So I decided I needed to do a 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:24.279 good mitzvah and I needed to go on a pilgrimage, 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.680 a good wheel journey. So after I got off the 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:32.880 radio from the overnight show Thursday into Friday, I winded 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:37.400 down for a few hours. I laid down, I played 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:39.600 on my phone, played some games on my phone. I 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:41.880 took a bath. I didn't sleep more than an hour. 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:46.440 I then, around eight in the morning, loaded up the 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.920 mallarmobile with the wife. We ran a couple of arrands, 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:53.560 said make a pit stop here at Costco to get gas, 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:58.080 and then we set off to the Great Blue Yonder 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:05.119 driving in the California desert in the middle of nowhere. 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:09.040 We headed headed east go east, young man. We stopped 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:14.200 in Palm Springs for a a drink, non alcoholic and 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.960 a sandwich. Actually the sandwich was in Indio, and we 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.880 we kept have you been, Have you've been? There's a 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:25.160 supposedly a legendary sandwich shop in Indio. Oh, I know Indio. 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.600 I have a radio friend there. And one thing I 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.560 like about that area. They have some A and W 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:33.760 root bear stands left over. Yeah. No, this was like 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:35.960 a sandwich shop. They said they were the top rated 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:38.680 sandwich shop on Yelp a couple of years ago. So 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:40.360 my wife said, oh, we gotta stop there. I'm like, well, 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:42.320 I don't really want, you know whatever. But we went 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:44.960 and then we got back on the road and made 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.880 the boringest drive you could possibly make. I haven't done 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.720 this in years. I used to do this semi regular 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.200 when I covered spring training. But I went to Arizona. 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.360 I went to Phoenix, the Phoenix there. I was in Mesa, Arizona, 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:03.880 the spring training home of the Chicago Cubs, and I 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:07.160 drove all the way there and all the way back. 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.400 I'll tell you why. The mission I mentioned good match 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.160 for us. So a cousin of mine who I grew 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:14.480 up with I've known since since he was born. I 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:16.800 was a little kid. We grew up together and we 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.640 were little kids, and then he moved away. A huge 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:23.160 sports fan, he got he got some some bad medical 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:26.000 news this week, and so you don't want to see him, 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:29.000 kind of cheer him up. He had his his lady 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.479 friend there and take take them out to a nice meal. 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:35.720 So on. On my very short weekend, it took all 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:40.160 day to get to our destination because of the medication 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.880 he's on and whatnot, and he had a medical procedure. 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.240 He told me he wasn't going to be really awake 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:48.320 until late afternoon. So that's why I left when I did. 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:49.840 Otherwise I would have left in the middle of the 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.320 night and would have made great time. But we got 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.680 We got the Phoenix right in rush hour on Friday, 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:59.360 and so we had to deal with that, which is 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.240 not like It's Phoenix Nightmare, which is not anywhere close 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:05.159 to l A traffic, but still it was traffic and 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:08.360 and all that. So I got to the destination, arrived 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:10.640 in time just to watch the Knicks. They were playing 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.800 the Bucks, and we also had Game one of the 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:15.360 World Serious. That's why I watched Game one of the 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:19.760 World series that his his condo there in Arizona, Phillies 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.560 and and assholes. We can say that because this podcast 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:27.159 of the Assholes. And the thing I did not expect 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:31.640 Danny on this pilgrimage was when I got to my 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.839 cousin's apartment and you know, he's sitting there, is not 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.479 really moving around much, kind of dealing with that medical malaise. 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:47.560 And he's living in this relatively reasonably sized townhouse condo thing, 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.679 and he's got not one, not too but three dogs. 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:54.280 These are not normal sized dogs. These not little dogs. 0:05:54.720 --> 0:06:01.000 These are these are large dogs. Danny with the big barks, 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:05.320 big barks, big ship, the whole thing. Massive dogs, very 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:08.960 loving dogs, dogs that I don't think realize how big 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:13.919 they are. They think they're little dogs and they're big dogs. 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:16.640 And these dogs were also doing something that I don't 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:18.719 really have to deal with much with Bella. They were shedding. 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:22.720 Bella sheds a little bit. These dogs, it was like 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:28.840 they were at the barber shop. Yeah. Yeah, Bell is 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.760 an expert. If you need a dog to ship or piss, 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.120 and then what Bell is really good at is pissing 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:38.040 and then walking through it so you can track everywhere 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:41.440 she walks on the floor here. Everywhere she walks. Her 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.480 little paw prints are you can tell exactly as she 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:47.080 braves the elements of her piss and and walks her 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.960 But these dogs very nice, very kind. But it was 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:51.440 I was not expecting it. So I was a little 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:54.400 overwhelmed by the dogs and so many dogs. They actually 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:59.600 had gates around the sofa to keep the dogs away. Yeah, 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:01.320 I mean, is this a wild I was I gonna 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:04.080 as at a zoo, and it was. It kind of 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:07.440 felt like the human beings were the ones in the 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:09.559 cage and the dogs had the run of the place, 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:13.280 is what it felt like. And by the time we 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:15.760 ended up leaving to go get a bite to eat, 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:19.920 I was covered, My wife was covered in from head 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:23.960 to toe. And dog here and it made made for 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.400 some interesting we We We had those you know those 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:30.440 rollers you used. I was just gonna ask about that. Yeah, 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.120 so he had he had the rollers and we were 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.120 I was trying to roll the hair off my wife's dress. 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.840 I had hair everywhere, and they have these little sticky 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.040 things on the roller you're supposed to see. We went 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:45.720 through like nine ten of them. Yeah, it's crazy, and 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:50.160 they don't work. Well, they worked to a certain extent, right, 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:52.960 they're not that good. You're right, like they'll get the 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:56.119 surface off, but you still have the fine here left 0:07:56.160 --> 0:08:00.200 on your clothes. And it's super annoying and uncomfortable to 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:03.920 have that much animal for on you. Yeah, it was bad. 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.800 And I hadn't been in that kind of situation in 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.680 a long time where dogs, just three dogs are all 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:14.200 shedding and they're like jumping between me and the wife, 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:17.000 going back and forth, and and my cousin. It was crazy, 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:21.440 he's gonna clean that place? Well, I unfortunately believe my 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:24.800 my cousin's girlfriend. And when she got off work, we 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.960 went to the sports bar, which is great. It's it's 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:31.000 probably my only cousin that really likes sports, like the 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:34.120 only guy, and you know, he he gets the language 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:35.840 of sports. So we were like, let's go to a 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.520 sports bar. We'll eat some chicken wings and we'll watch 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:41.080 the game and be married. And so you know, he's 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.880 still recovering, so kind of moving a little slow. We walked, 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:45.760 We walked to the car, go to out the sports 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:48.960 bar and uh, and that's where I watched the rest 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:53.920 of the assholes and as they played the Phillies and 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:57.920 that great comeback in Game one of the World Series. Yeah, 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.560 and so he had to go to bed or early though, 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.480 even though I drove all the way to Phoenix's you know, 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.080 major operations on a lot of medications. So he had 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:09.880 to go to bed early. And so around nine, nine 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:13.840 o'clock or so, uh, we we said, all right, go 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.400 to bed, get your rest. And then we decided, you 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:19.040 know what, I think what we need to do is 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.360 catch up with I mean, Arizona and I have other 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:24.480 family I did not see. I haven't been to Phoenix 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.520 in like seventeen years. Actually it's been less than that. 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:29.840 I was there for a Clipper playoff game with Elton 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:33.400 Brand when they played the Suns and the Sunset Mike 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.200 D'Antoni still coaching them and all that. So that's how 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:41.280 long ago I know, right, and Mari Stodhomyer was playing 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.360 there in all of Goods. So anyway, so it's been 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:47.480 a lot of time. So I sent a text over 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:50.640 to a Fox Sports radio alumnus to see if they 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:54.480 were available for a nice brief meet and Creek, and 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:57.360 I got a response. Yeah. Well, early on I got 0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:58.880 a response no, And then later on I got a 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:00.960 response yes, the rate. You want to take a guess 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:05.120 who I who? I ran down here? The great No. 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:08.319 Tony lives in Florida. Man, he's he's in the Sunshine State. 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.080 I knew he was in a hot state. Yeah, yeah, 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.400 he's in Florida. Uh. Turk Stevens. I don't know if 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:17.000 you remember. I remember Turkey did updates. Yeah, Turk was 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.280 an update guy. He worked on my show for a 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:22.600 long time. He also worked at NBC Sports Radio, which 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:25.240 that's where I worked with him. And he also was 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.080 a PE coach. Yes, right, that's what he's doing now. 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:31.800 He's out of the business, savvy sports radio veteran. He's 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.959 a father, has got his kids, he's keeping an eye 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:38.480 on and he's a PE teacher in Arizona's been out 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:40.200 of the radio business for a couple of years. He 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.080 misses it, but he doesn't miss the bullshit and radio 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:45.920 and there's a lot of it in any business. But 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:47.640 he is a p teacher. Got to hang out with 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:51.199 him and his son. Wonderful. That kid's gonna run some 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:55.319 company someday. That kid really real sharp. Congratulations. So we 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.319 ended up heading back to l I only visited him 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:58.920 like an hour and a half. We headed back to 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:03.520 l A around eleven pm and by the time we 0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:07.920 got back to the north Woods the sun was rising. 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:10.200 Took a long time. We had stopped at a rest 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:13.640 stop to my wife wanted to take a little bit 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:18.920 of a nap, and so um I drove nent of this. 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:23.280 We went eight hundred and two miles, spent twelve hours 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:28.520 and forty two minutes driving, and we're absolutely and one day, 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:32.240 basically one day and travel. I looked it up. The 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:35.080 amount of mileage we went is the equivalent of driving 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:38.480 from New York City to Toronto, from New York to 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:42.439 bar Harbor, Maine to Montreal, from New York to Ottawa 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.840 to Roanoke, Virginia, from the Big Apple, or if we 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:48.839 were in Boston, we would have driven to d C 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:53.000 and then back to Boston or to Buffalo or Chicago 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:58.120 to Pittsburgh. That for data. It was a wild and 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:02.880 crazy day and I likely am going to be doing 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.640 that again in the near future, so I'll probably be 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:09.360 back on the road again in a short amount of time. 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:13.080 So we'll we'll see how that how that goes, But 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.920 that was my raising Arizona. Will have another footnote on 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:21.240 that coming up. Later in the podcast nine one one 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:28.439 standing by staying by. Yeah, your wife could have possibly 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:33.720 taken one call. Exactly a week ago Saturday morning, I 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:37.760 was up early doing post production on this very podcast 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:42.160 right here, and God bless my my tender rowning. She 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.080 will get up early with me on Saturday. She goes 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:49.120 downstairs to the kitchen, make some scrambled eggs, puts them 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:53.040 in a healthy tortilla wrap, the low carboes, the ones 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:55.199 that are supposed to be better for you. But who 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:59.280 are the green Yeah, the green spinach ones. Yeah, so yeah, 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.560 why rule and a burrito? But it it tastes Okay, 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.199 how many calories are you saving on that? By the way, 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:09.680 I know? Right, she walked up with a nice plate 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:15.960 of like two egg Burritoska. She's like you, Ben, she 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:19.760 doesn't like milk as you call it. I'm not a 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.800 milk I'm not a milk drinker. She's not either. She 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:27.560 she'll have almond milk in the refrigerator, but thinks regular 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:32.560 milk is disgusting. Is disgusted by the way it looks, 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:36.960 the way it smells everything, the way you hate ranch. 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.720 That's the way she hates milk. Part I don't know 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:41.520 if she was like, remember she was a little girl. 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.920 When I was growing up, I had like my mom 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:48.840 force fed me milk and sandwiches, and I despised both 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.640 and I but I did love the chocolate milk for 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:54.440 a while, but then I got tired of that, and 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:57.400 occasionally we had the strawberry milk. But even that, as 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.800 a growing up, I'm like, no, no, So I feel 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:03.160 what she's you're going to be bride is going through. 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:07.040 She was tortured just like you. She tells a tale 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.480 of her and her brother sitting around the dinner table 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:13.400 and they were not allowed to get up until their 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.640 vegetables were eaten off their plate and their glass of 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:20.400 milk had been drank. The milk for her was just 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:24.080 as hard as the vegetables. Which I don't understand that 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:27.240 because I could get rid of the milk fast the vegetables. 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.200 My older brother and I used to do the napkin 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:33.040 trick under the table. Um. But but the milk, as 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:37.000 long as it's cold, well, I understand if it's room temperature, 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:40.240 it's been sitting a long time gross, But cold milk 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:43.520 I like, especially with like a nice breakfast. If there's 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:47.800 ketchup and eggs. If there's bacon something like that, cold 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:51.280 milk really washes that down. Well, I'm more of an 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:55.360 o J guyt a murder Now, I like the juice. 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:57.240 I go not the o J the football, but I 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.840 love the juice. I'm all about the juice. And I 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:04.280 so you remember Looney, I'm Tom Looney. When I worked 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.400 with Looney, he would complain, he'd bitch. He said, eat 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:09.800 the orange, don't drink the juice. And and really that 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:13.360 was around the time I stopped drinking orange juice. I 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.240 used to drink it on the weekends and in the 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:16.880 morning when I go in and I have to work early. 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.360 Do the football show that we did, and I loved 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.440 orange juice. And he said, you know, there's twenty five 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:27.200 oranges and one glass of orange juice. And so he's, uh, yeah, 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:30.360 I like orange juice. It's a little too citrusy. Sometimes 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.400 it bothers my stomach a little bit. The milk is 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:37.000 a nice way to soothe your stomach. That's why a 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:42.080 good milkshake is always good for your diet. And the 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.400 odd thing is, I don't like a glass of milk, 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:47.000 but when you mix ice cream into it, I'm okay. 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:49.160 With it like a milkshake. I'm I'm fine. I don't 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:51.360 love the milkshake, but I'm not anti milkshake. I have 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:56.040 a pro position. Yeah, funny how that happens. So let's 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:59.840 back up a whole year ago. Uh, my Tinderoni made 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:03.920 a smoothie for me, brought it upstairs, set it on 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:09.200 my nightstand, and I was half awake, you know, we 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:13.080 were crazy radio hours, and instead of grabbing the cup, 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:18.760 I grabbed the top of the cup. It came apart, reddish, purplish, 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:24.360 healthy smoothie spilled all over the carpet. Remember this, Yes, 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:27.400 I I mentioned this on a podcast about a year ago. 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:30.920 Now she freaked the funk out. All right. There are 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:34.640 two things when it comes to the house, and that's 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:39.040 anything red getting near the carpet or milk spilling on 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:42.760 the carpet. Well, the melt. The melt. It's like a 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:45.320 double whammy because not only do you have a liquids, 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:47.920 but if you don't clean it upright, you got the stench. 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:53.720 So I that's completely understand. I've only spilled something one time. 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:57.320 I've known her now for two years. In that two 0:16:57.400 --> 0:17:02.240 year period, I've spilled something exactly once. Well, you know 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:04.000 how it goes though, Danny, right, you can be an 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.240 upstanding citizen. You could kill one person, they call you 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:10.080 a murder. So you destroyed one. You spill it one 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:13.320 spill so you're a spiller and just called the ray 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:17.360 Kerruth in the eyes of your the eyes of your 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:20.439 your lady, you're a spiller. You're a spill hazard. I 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:23.639 am the ray Kerruth of her carpet. Your your Klotz 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:26.600 is what you are. I mean, she knew I was 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:30.200 half awake. She understood how it happened. She said, you know, 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:33.119 it's my fault. I should have used a different cup, 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:36.280 blah blah. So it seemed fine at the moment, but 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:39.479 this is something she has never let me live down since. 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:44.639 And now, after she handed me these two healthy burritos, 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:49.000 she said, what would you like to drink? And I said, well, 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:52.639 some nice cold milk would be great with this because 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:56.400 there's some ketchup in salsa and these burritos. So let's go. 0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:01.760 She goes downstairs, she comes up ben with an iron 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:07.560 clad oh, one of the no spill cups, Like, yeah, right, okay, 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:10.919 but she but she's looking at me as if I 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:14.320 don't trust you. This is supposed to be spill proof, 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:18.600 but I think you're gonna spill it. So she hands 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:22.160 it to me and she's, you know, she's not saying anything, 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:25.920 but she's not taking her eyes off of this this tumbler. 0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:29.439 So I put it on the on the nightstand. She 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:32.000 goes over to her side of the bed and she's 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.760 she's gonna start reading her book while I'm doing my 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:40.960 my audio editing. And Ben, it was precise timing. Also 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:45.120 on my nightstand, I had a water bottle with excellent timing. 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:54.560 I dropped the full water bottle onto the floor and 0:18:54.760 --> 0:19:00.680 as I did it, I said, oh shit. She turned around. 0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:07.520 The color had left her face. She went from normal 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:13.119 looking to pale within two seconds. She thought for sure 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:16.960 I had spilled this milk all over the carpet. And 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:21.040 I realized I messed up because when she looked over 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:24.320 and she saw what really had happened, she said, you 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:32.360 fuck her? Why would you do that? Uh? Ben, I 0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:36.600 I'm a good thing. I retook my CPR class last year. 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:41.640 I am up to date on the certification. Because she 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:47.400 was very close to going into cardiac arrest. Wow, well 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:50.840 you're the you're the fifteen percent, right, there's a study 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:53.240 done years ago. He said eight percent of what people 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:55.320 worry about it never happens. But the other fifteen percent 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:57.720 of the time it does happen. And you're the fifteen 0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:01.200 percent where she was freaking out because he spilled that. Actually, 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:04.160 I have something in common with you because this past week, 0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:07.679 what I do is I like my ice water and 0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:12.239 I actually have a tumbler like a sip we call, 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:15.560 you know, sippy cup whatever, you can't spill it, and 0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:18.400 I usually have that near my side of the bed. 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:22.760 And my my wife had bought these really nice side 0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:25.920 tables that have like power connected to him and all that, 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:29.119 so you can plug your phone in and charge it 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:32.960 or whatever. It's been pretty cool thing. So I'm sleeping 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:36.439 and I don't usually move that much in my sleep, 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:38.879 but I guess either I moved or I knocked a 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:42.040 pillow or something. I don't know what happened. But I 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:45.720 wake up and I see my my sippy you know, 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:49.440 thermis thing is spilled on its side and there's water everywhere. 0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:52.800 And I'm lucky I did not start a fire, but 0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:57.760 I totally shorted out the nice table right near the bed. There. 0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:02.280 It's completely gone. Is there any way to fix that 0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:05.280 without replacing it to any you think there's any way 0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:09.360 to fix the like if it dries out, is there, 0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:13.080 I don't know. I don't think so. Is it doesn't 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:16.479 have burn marks. And I didn't examine it too much 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:19.119 because it was I was so piste off that like 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:23.080 what I had done, like you should go back and 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:26.719 and check and that also this, this whole conversation reminds 0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:28.720 me of the early days of Fox Sports. Rader. I 0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:30.199 don't know if you were there for this or not, 0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:36.320 but somebody spilled water into the board, oh man, which 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:40.440 is the most expensive part of a radio station outside 0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:45.080 of the transmitter. And uh so what they did was 0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:49.239 nobody coped to it, nobody admitted to it, and they 0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:54.439 were really piste off. They decided the solution was to 0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:57.919 buy everyone at the company a thermis, that a non 0:21:58.080 --> 0:22:02.359 spill thermis. That was That was the move there. I 0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:06.800 remember this story, yeah, which seemed like a great idea, 0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:10.160 but um, it turns out some people like to drink 0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:12.520 those thermisis without the cap on, which kind of defeats 0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:15.840 the purpose. We're actually going to be in a beautiful 0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:18.879 studio coming up in a couple of months, something we 0:22:18.960 --> 0:22:22.480 haven't discussed on the podcast yet. Yeah, I'm I'm excited 0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:23.720 about that. You want to get into that now or 0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:26.720 should we wait until the big reveal happens. I guess 0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:29.399 we should tease it right now. But yeah, we'll have 0:22:29.440 --> 0:22:33.080 a big reveal coming up. There was a listener who 0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:36.640 kept emailing us on the podcast asking us about our 0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:40.400 big move to Burbank. Well, that has been replaced with 0:22:40.480 --> 0:22:43.360 something else, and we'll just leave the tease right there. Yea, 0:22:43.640 --> 0:22:48.560 for now, for now done, and we will be walking 0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:52.520 in the footsteps a llegends when this happens. Okay, we 0:22:52.560 --> 0:22:58.399 will be following in the footsteps of leaking two different legends. Yeah, exactly, 0:22:58.400 --> 0:23:01.160 that's all we're gonna say. It's all we're gonna say. 0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:03.359 And you'll have to figure that out while you're walking 0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:07.639 around the Pigley Wigley. So we have the deep fake that. 0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:11.439 Moving on, I want to go back to my time 0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:14.919 in Phoenix, my one day less than twenty four hours 0:23:15.720 --> 0:23:19.560 in the Valley of the Sun and that greater area, 0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:23.800 and it's I'm such a loser. When I drive through Phoenix, Danny, 0:23:24.000 --> 0:23:26.679 I think of who's spring training town is this? I 0:23:26.720 --> 0:23:28.600 was in Chandler. I was like, Oh, that's the Brewers. 0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:32.160 I drove through good Year. I was like, I think 0:23:32.200 --> 0:23:35.600 that's the Reds and the team formerly known as the Indians. 0:23:36.480 --> 0:23:40.400 Also the birthplace of Bellinger. Yeah that's right, that's right. 0:23:40.440 --> 0:23:42.120 So I'm, you know, driving around there, and I'm looking 0:23:42.119 --> 0:23:43.560 at all the spring training towns and we did go 0:23:43.600 --> 0:23:47.200 to Mason, as I said, So, I decided on my 0:23:47.280 --> 0:23:49.800 way out of Phoenix, before we got back on the road, 0:23:49.840 --> 0:23:52.439 I decided to have some fun with my younger brother. 0:23:52.520 --> 0:23:54.320 I'm a middle child, so I have an older and 0:23:54.400 --> 0:23:57.879 a younger brother. My younger brother lives in Appleton, Wisconsin. 0:23:57.920 --> 0:24:00.280 You might remember the story. Went back to visit him 0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:02.720
