Speaker 1: Kubbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow, it's a clearinghouse
Speaker 2: of hot takes. Break free for something special. The Fifth
Speaker 2: Hour with Ben Mallard starts right now.
Speaker 3: Eat the air everywhere, and a happy Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, it.
Speaker 1: Is the Fifth Hour. You already knew that.
Speaker 3: The thirteenth day of October it is National emin M
Speaker 3: Day today.
Speaker 4: I like his second album, The best from the Detroit
Speaker 4: areapicfin you mean the kind you can eat?
Speaker 3: EM and M's created in nineteen forty one, so it's
Speaker 3: been part of our world before we were around eminem. Now,
Speaker 3: do you remember when we were kids, they only had
Speaker 3: a few flavors, a few colors of eminem. Right, They
Speaker 3: didn't expand until later. You want to gaggle of eminem
Speaker 3: fum facts? Is that place in Vegas still there? The
Speaker 3: M and M Store with all the different color eminems?
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's still there.
Speaker 4: I think so.
Speaker 3: And so the tagline that we still know melts in
Speaker 3: your mouth, not your hand, that came out in nineteen
Speaker 3: forty nine, it's been around for a while.
Speaker 4: Had no idea? Was that old?
Speaker 1: Why would you change it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, And the idea for Eminem's was actually born in
Speaker 3: the nineteen thirties and they saw soldiers carry these these
Speaker 3: Smarties chocolate pellets protected by a shell to keep them
Speaker 3: from melting during the Spanish Civil War.
Speaker 1: How about that.
Speaker 3: Forest Mars and his son of the Mars company, they
Speaker 3: the founder, they pitched the idea of the candy that
Speaker 3: became Eminem's. But it actually has its roots all the
Speaker 3: way back to the Spanish Civil War.
Speaker 1: Wow. And they began that was in the nineteen thirties.
Speaker 3: Nineteen forty one they started producing M and M's at
Speaker 3: a factory in New Jersey, and in nineteen fifty they
Speaker 3: put that that famous eminem the M printed onto the
Speaker 3: look there and it was changed to a white M
Speaker 3: in nineteen fifty four. And they've added obviously a bunch
Speaker 3: of different colors. I think when it was first out
Speaker 3: it was like orange, was it? What were the original
Speaker 3: color like black, orange and brown or something like that.
Speaker 3: You know what I was saying, was it they didn't
Speaker 3: have blue, and they didn't have some of the more
Speaker 3: exotic colors that they've added over the years.
Speaker 5: So could you tell a difference, because I remember my
Speaker 5: mom saying they all taste the same.
Speaker 1: They did tastes different to me. Did they taste different
Speaker 1: to you?
Speaker 4: I thought not really? No.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I liked the blue ones when those came out, because
Speaker 3: I like the color blue. But they didn't taste any
Speaker 3: different than the brown's ones. Of the brown or the
Speaker 3: red or the green or whatever, it's all seemed like
Speaker 3: the same to me.
Speaker 5: Here, I am your crack research staff. The original colors
Speaker 5: of eminem candies were red, yellow, violet, green, and brown.
Speaker 3: All right, I remember brown, I guess I said orange
Speaker 3: for some reason. I remember orange, but I did not
Speaker 3: when I was a kid. Eminem's had already been around
Speaker 3: for but I don't remember the violet one.
Speaker 5: I always was. That's interesting. I always wondered why they
Speaker 5: were called M and M's. You mentioned that forest Mars
Speaker 5: guy and the other co founder, William Murray m you
Speaker 5: r ri E, so M and M for the two owners.
Speaker 3: You go, so have some Eminem's what's your favorite eminem?
Speaker 3: You liked the originally old school, you liked the peanut eminem?
Speaker 5: Definitely the peanut m and ms. Yes, I will have
Speaker 5: once in a while a handful of eminems. If that's
Speaker 5: what's great about those peanut m and ms. You can
Speaker 5: have like five of them in It's pretty satisfying.
Speaker 3: And that's I'm not eating as much. Sure, I'm not
Speaker 3: baking as much because I end up eating most of it.
Speaker 1: I am worried.
Speaker 3: The parties are coming up right, the party scene with
Speaker 3: Halloween and with Christmas and Thanksgiving and all that stuff,
Speaker 3: So I'll be ending up rap as we get to
Speaker 3: the end of the year.
Speaker 5: Yeah, in our blue kitchen at the Network, this is
Speaker 5: when people put all the Halloween candy on the counter.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's a deadly time of the year. It
Speaker 3: is a deadly time of the year in more ways
Speaker 3: than one. So celebrate appropriately National Eminem Day on a
Speaker 3: random Sunday in October.
Speaker 1: What else is it today? Anything else?
Speaker 3: Stand out here? I think that's enough. All right, let's
Speaker 3: get to it. We have the mail bag. These are
Speaker 3: actual by actual listeners to the show. Are you prepared?
Speaker 3: Are you ready?
Speaker 1: It's mail bag.
Speaker 3: The Great Ohio al and first up in the mailbag
Speaker 3: is a passionate letter from Patrick the Uber Black Driver
Speaker 3: Patrick aka DJ Spin from San Diego, California. And it
Speaker 3: appears that my malard monologue in a previous episode of
Speaker 3: the original Recipe radio show was a great nuisance to
Speaker 3: my man, my guy, Patrick the Uber Black Driver, that
Speaker 3: I am now a pain in his ass.
Speaker 1: I have given him.
Speaker 4: I heard, I heard you offended the entire city of
Speaker 4: San Diego.
Speaker 1: Yes, are you heard about that? All right?
Speaker 3: So Patrick writes, and he says, Benjamin, I get what
Speaker 3: you do. I also am cool with you trashing particular teams.
Speaker 3: But now, anytime you say the word but.
Speaker 1: What does that mean?
Speaker 3: You know what that means, Danny, Right, we always we
Speaker 3: talk about this on the Overnight Show, and it's one
Speaker 3: of those things that is accurate.
Speaker 4: But you're an a hole man.
Speaker 1: Well, No, anything before the word but is a lot. Right.
Speaker 3: So if you use the word but, everything a person
Speaker 3: says before the word butt is a lie. You got
Speaker 3: that from Game of Thrones. You got that from Bruce
Speaker 3: Willis on Moonlighting back in the day and all that.
Speaker 3: And so Patrick, when you say I get what you do,
Speaker 3: I also am cool with you trashing particular teams, but
Speaker 3: that means you don't believe that. He says the other day,
Speaker 3: when you completely trashed san Diego as a minor league city,
Speaker 3: absolutely infuriated.
Speaker 5: Me.
Speaker 1: Where did you get your start?
Speaker 3: I fucking love you, Benjamin, but you absolutely sounded like
Speaker 3: a dick that night. You have to backtrack what you
Speaker 3: said about san Diego. He says, talk shit about the Padres.
Speaker 3: That's fine. You truly overstepped when you called San Diego
Speaker 3: a minor league city. Do you really want to be
Speaker 3: that kind of a dick. I've met you a couple
Speaker 3: of times. You're truly this week guy, backtrack on what
Speaker 3: you said about San Diego.
Speaker 1: Well, I would like to point out, first of all,
Speaker 1: I do appreciate you listening. I do. You've listened to
Speaker 1: me for many, many years.
Speaker 3: But that patrick what I do and what we do,
Speaker 3: A lot of it is impromptu, and much of it
Speaker 3: I get on a rant.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: I have notes, I prepare for the show, I have
Speaker 3: bullet points, I have things prepared, but in a moment
Speaker 3: of great passion, like the Dodgers getting their face bashed
Speaker 3: in by the Padres in a random playoff, game, my
Speaker 3: instincts kick in, and my instincts is to just unleash
Speaker 3: the monster, right, release the beast, and just go for it.
Speaker 3: And it's off the cuff. It's unplanned, it's impulsive, and
Speaker 3: you start rolling along right, and sometimes things get a
Speaker 3: little bloody, and sometimes.
Speaker 1: You might have some blood splattered around the place, and
Speaker 1: it just it just really we're all and all that.
Speaker 3: And the other issue is people are trying to in
Speaker 3: sight right the tinder box, and so they start encouraging me,
Speaker 3: and then this impromptu thing, uh.
Speaker 1: Starts going and going and going and going.
Speaker 3: But you know, Patrick, that San Diego is a very
Speaker 3: important city in my my journey through life. That I
Speaker 3: learned radio at the mighty sixth ninety in San Diego,
Speaker 3: right there across from the HP station, which no longer exists.
Speaker 3: The HP is there, but the radio stations is not.
Speaker 3: And SeaWorld Drive. I remember the off the off ramp,
Speaker 3: hanging out at the Balboa Park. All that's great memories
Speaker 3: of San Diego.
Speaker 4: Why well, I'm sure that made everything better. You're, as
Speaker 4: I said, a response there what he did?
Speaker 1: It said, but you see what he did?
Speaker 3: No, No, in all, in all seriousness, Patrick I know
Speaker 3: you have the San Diego tattoo. I remember you showed
Speaker 3: me your Padre San Diego tattoo, your San Diego.
Speaker 1: To life and and all that. Again.
Speaker 3: What I do, however, is I get on a roll
Speaker 3: and let it rip, and I would go to San
Speaker 3: Diego a lot more.
Speaker 1: I enjoy going to San Diego.
Speaker 3: However, it takes way too long to get there because
Speaker 3: there's so much traffic from La to San Diego and
Speaker 3: vice versa.
Speaker 5: So yeah, it would be great if we had two
Speaker 5: major freeways that went into San Diego.
Speaker 1: Bodies, hell abodies.
Speaker 3: Thank you, though, Patrick, I love that you care that
Speaker 3: much about San Diego that you're willing to send me
Speaker 3: that mail, that email ranting and raving. And I don't
Speaker 3: think that I am some kind of despot, some kind
Speaker 3: of tyrant. I just go on a rant, get in
Speaker 3: a ran and Padre fan base was annoying me, so
Speaker 3: I had to unload and I returned fire.
Speaker 4: I do have that famous drop of you where you say,
Speaker 4: go f yourself, San Diego.
Speaker 3: Great moments and broadcasting, but La La Land writes and
Speaker 3: he says they've been and Danny G can you guys
Speaker 3: do a wellness check? On Vic the Brick Jacobs and
Speaker 3: then he says, did you see the story from the
Speaker 3: Sumo world? And uh, I did not, But I guess
Speaker 3: the other day there's a there's a story going around
Speaker 3: that the sumo world is in colossal crisis because a
Speaker 3: wave of sumo fighters have pulled out because of weight
Speaker 3: related health issues.
Speaker 4: Okay, I don't know we can relate to that.
Speaker 1: I love Victor Brick.
Speaker 3: VIC is a big fan of sumo LA sportscasting legend,
Speaker 3: legend Victor Brick. I don't know that is Vic jokozuna,
Speaker 3: which is the highest ranked the sumo. Probably not, but
Speaker 3: that that is a problem if guys are big sumo
Speaker 3: wrestlers and they're having major health issues and they can't.
Speaker 1: Be part of sumo anymore.
Speaker 3: I could see how that would be problematic in considering
Speaker 3: how popular that sport is and what a religious experience
Speaker 3: I am told the sumo world is, I get it.
Speaker 3: But yeah, Sumo, the ancient sport from Japan in crisis mode.
Speaker 3: Dozens of fighters have pulled out of the events. They have,
Speaker 3: among other things, excessive sweating, breathing issues, joint disease, diabetes
Speaker 3: complications from diabetes as well so diabetes.
Speaker 1: Dobbs get that infomercial?
Speaker 4: Yeah wi.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I have not checked with Vic. I think
Speaker 1: he'll be okay. I think Rickole he'll be fine.
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's talked about this on his
Speaker 3: local stuff on A five seventy and la or not.
Speaker 3: Jay from Sacktown Rights Since says, hey bandon Danny Joy
Speaker 3: the podcast, are either of you guys going to put
Speaker 3: down the money to buy and Elon bot? Do you
Speaker 3: see this story the other day, Danny Elon Musk. I
Speaker 3: guess he unveiled that some wild tech Elon Musk Tesla
Speaker 3: show or whatever, an army of thirty thousand, According to
Speaker 3: the story Jayson thirty thousand dollars Optimist robots. And he
Speaker 3: claims these robots can help do household chores, loser, they
Speaker 3: can babysit your kids and do a bunch of other craps.
Speaker 3: So thirty thousand dollars, Danny, you got a babysitter?
Speaker 1: Are you in?
Speaker 4: Whoa? This is like that Will Smith movie? I robot?
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Dystopian Uh yeah yeah kids.
Speaker 4: Well if it could safely babysit, I'm in what if.
Speaker 1: The power goes out though?
Speaker 2: That?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: You know, yeah, and that that was the whole premise
Speaker 5: of the Will Smith movie, was that he and a
Speaker 5: few other humans didn't trust this population of robots because
Speaker 5: they could go bad. That's exactly what wound up happening
Speaker 5: in the movie Dune Dun dumb.
Speaker 1: When fiction becomes nonfiction?
Speaker 4: Do do do do Do Do Do Do do doo.
Speaker 3: I'm looking at some photos of these thirty thousand dollars robots,
Speaker 3: and I don't know about watching kids, but how about vacuuming, dusting.
Speaker 1: I would be good, right.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: I imagine never having to clean your house again because.
Speaker 3: You've got your your bot ready to go. That'd be nice, right.
Speaker 4: We'd all be living the Mallard life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess we got some money here, Jay. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw.
Speaker 3: You didn't mention this, Jay, but you mentioned the bot thing.
Speaker 3: But I did see Elon Musk unveiled a cyber cab,
Speaker 3: a special Tesla event.
Speaker 1: I guess this is where the robots came, serving drinks
Speaker 1: and all that.
Speaker 3: But the the cyber cab, a driverless cab that you
Speaker 3: have no control over.
Speaker 1: You get into, it takes you where you need to go,
Speaker 1: and you're on your way. Yeah, I don't know about
Speaker 1: that either. Hey, that's the tough Yeah.
Speaker 5: I feel like we need a human behind the wheel
Speaker 5: if we're gonna strap in.
Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? You and your boomers. I can
Speaker 1: hear the people.
Speaker 5: Say, well, no, you've seen the video about how that
Speaker 5: driverless car was driving against traffic. Too many, too many errors.
Speaker 5: Still with that kind of technology, you don't want to
Speaker 5: be the guinea pig.
Speaker 1: You want you want to wait.
Speaker 3: Several years until all of those things are ironed out.
Speaker 3: Al from the analyticals Department rights and he says, hey, Ben,
Speaker 3: sorry in advance for the boring question. Are the ratings
Speaker 3: for the podcast and the TV show available to the
Speaker 3: general public. I'm just curious to see how your downloads
Speaker 3: and clicks compare to that of the other shows.
Speaker 1: I do not.
Speaker 3: Believe that information is available to the public. And I
Speaker 3: don't even know the numbers on the TV show. I
Speaker 3: don't have access at NBC to the numbers. I am
Speaker 3: told sporadically from one of my bosses. They'll say, hey,
Speaker 3: the show's doing well or did really well this week.
Speaker 1: But even that I don't get that much feedback.
Speaker 3: The way I look at it is I put the
Speaker 3: show out, and you know this, Alf, You just try
Speaker 3: to make it as good a show as you can
Speaker 3: make it, and then whatever happens happened. So I don't
Speaker 3: have any control over that. They brought back the show
Speaker 3: for season two, so clearly there was enough people watching it.
Speaker 3: But we have to continue to grow the audience. And
Speaker 3: now we have more ways you can watch the TV
Speaker 3: show with it being on Peacock, but those numbers are
Speaker 3: hard to come by because they can futs around with
Speaker 3: the numbers and all that stuff. But we know like
Speaker 3: the downloads on this podcast and the radio show podcast,
Speaker 3: we have access to that.
Speaker 1: But the TV stuff no no bueno, I believe is
Speaker 1: what they say. They're no no bueno on that.
Speaker 3: But thank you Al for your concern and you've been
Speaker 3: a big part of keeping that going. Alf spends all weekend.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure exactly what Alf does think. I think
Speaker 3: he's like a handyman, carpenter type guy. He drives around
Speaker 3: a lot.
Speaker 1: But I think the other thing is he's a man
Speaker 1: of mystery because he's up all night.
Speaker 3: Alf's up all night, and then also you're like, well,
Speaker 3: what's going on with He's got to work during the
Speaker 3: day if he has a job like that, so I
Speaker 3: don't know.
Speaker 4: I assumed he was a physicist.
Speaker 2: I'm a doctor.
Speaker 1: Well, we have a lot of rocket scientists that we do.
Speaker 3: Actually have one of the guys that called a lot
Speaker 3: of calls from Florida during the hurricane as the hurricane
Speaker 3: was making a landfall. I guess the phones didn't go
Speaker 3: out until after the storm had passed over.
Speaker 1: For a little bit, but guys were calling up.
Speaker 3: And a couple of guys worked at NASA back in
Speaker 3: the day, and now they're they're calling a show following Jed,
Speaker 3: who fled before we'd ban Hippi gets on the air,
Speaker 3: so good times Fullerton, the Fullerton Municipal Airport rights in.
Speaker 3: He says, Hey, Bannon, Danny G. The Raider has played
Speaker 3: so poorly against the Broncos last week that I think
Speaker 3: you owe me an apology this time, Danny G.
Speaker 1: Are you going to apologized?
Speaker 4: Danny?
Speaker 3: That was a tough one and now the Raiders have
Speaker 3: have gone on the death spiral injuries quarterback Chain Yeah,
Speaker 3: and the Raiders last week did not show up. This
Speaker 3: has happened now twice this season where they're in the
Speaker 3: game at halftime and I don't know what they do
Speaker 3: at halftime. Maybe the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and
Speaker 3: the orange slices aren't but they come out with no energy,
Speaker 3: no effort, and just get trucked.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 5: That was such a strange game because they came out
Speaker 5: on fire with that long pass play to Bowers for
Speaker 5: his first career touchdown, and their defense looked good on
Speaker 5: the first few series, Max Crosby with a couple of sacks,
Speaker 5: Wilkins with a big sack, and then when they announced
Speaker 5: that Christian Wilkins was out for the remainder of the game,
Speaker 5: he gotta be kidding me because he eats up the
Speaker 5: middle of the field when he wasn't there.
Speaker 4: Shit went bad.
Speaker 5: And there's really no depth on that defensive line because
Speaker 5: they already had been using the depth that they had.
Speaker 5: So yeah, injuries and just sadness right now in Raider Nation.
Speaker 5: I hope that they could either suck bad enough to
Speaker 5: get a real top pick or get shipped together to
Speaker 5: at least finish five hundred.
Speaker 1: Or close to figure Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I unders saying and that, And I love Gardner
Speaker 3: mitchew that pass he through that the Raiders were driving
Speaker 3: the ball down they would have.
Speaker 4: It would have been seventeen to three.
Speaker 5: That one bad interception he threw into the end zone
Speaker 5: turned the entire game around.
Speaker 3: You need it, like Yao ming to catch that pass.
Speaker 3: So I don't know who was he throwing into.
Speaker 4: What was that in?
Speaker 5: Of course, without DeVante Adams out there on the field,
Speaker 5: Patrick certain could just roam and do what he did
Speaker 5: in that regard Adams was missed in that game.
Speaker 1: It's the Steelers and the Raiders.
Speaker 4: Do you think Aidan O'Connell is going to do anything?
Speaker 3: Oh, it's at at best it's a lateral move and
Speaker 3: at worst it's a downgrade.
Speaker 1: Oh maybe I'll be wrong.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: I obviously have some some friends that work for the
Speaker 3: Raiders now group people I know, so I'd like to
Speaker 3: see them have success.
Speaker 1: But I would not have made that move.
Speaker 3: Mike also says, speaking of Fullerton's municipal airport, have either
Speaker 3: of you considered getting your pilot's license?
Speaker 1: You could be in the air everywhere.
Speaker 3: If not, have you ever been on a small private
Speaker 3: plane or a helicopter. That's from Mike. I was on
Speaker 3: a helicopter when I was a kid. A couple of
Speaker 3: times I went to a helicopter. But as an adult,
Speaker 3: I do not believe I've been on a helicopter. I
Speaker 3: don't recall it. I haven't gone on any of those excursions.
Speaker 3: I go to Hawaii every so often. I've never done that.
Speaker 3: Those things crash all the time. I haven't done that one.
Speaker 3: And considering like even riding a boat, driving a boat
Speaker 3: around the harbor, I've almost crashed into million dollar yachts,
Speaker 3: I can't imagine flying.
Speaker 1: So I'm good.
Speaker 3: Although I remember this. A sportscaster named Stu Nahan in
Speaker 3: La told me he was a pilot. He touched around
Speaker 3: with planes. He said, Ben, the easiest thing in the
Speaker 3: world is flying. The hardest part is taking off and landing.
Speaker 3: But the flying part is easy. Once you're in the air,
Speaker 3: it's a piece of cake. And I okay, So yeah,
Speaker 3: landing and taking off. Other than that, yeah, you're fine.
Speaker 5: Two pretty important parts though, right of the whole thing
Speaker 5: there kind of you know, when I was on my
Speaker 5: honeymoon in Kawhi, we did take a little helicopter tour
Speaker 5: of the coasts.
Speaker 4: I love the Yeah, that was amazing.
Speaker 5: That's the only time I've ever been on a helicopter
Speaker 5: as far as the little the LaBamba Planes as we
Speaker 5: call him. As a kid, my electronics instructor. He lived
Speaker 5: down the street from me, and he had a son
Speaker 5: around my age. And not only was my electronics instructor
Speaker 5: a pilot, he convinced his son to become a pilot.
Speaker 5: So even while he was still in high school, his
Speaker 5: son was becoming a pilot, and he took me up
Speaker 5: after he got his pilot's license. One thing I didn't
Speaker 5: like he was doing the turns where the engine cuts
Speaker 5: out for a few secondsoo, no, wooh, get the engines
Speaker 5: back on propellers, stop, I should say for a moment.
Speaker 3: And I've not been on those small places, but I've
Speaker 3: heard from people that have it's you hear everything, the noises.
Speaker 3: It's much different experience. Is that accurate that it sounds
Speaker 3: a lot different?
Speaker 5: Yeah, because you can hear every little thing. If you're
Speaker 5: not the pilot, that makes you very uncomfortable. I think, though,
Speaker 5: if there was an emergency, how would you handle that?
Speaker 5: For instance, when this guy was taking his lessons, there
Speaker 5: was a time where the engines failed and he had
Speaker 5: to glide to a landing, and instead of crapping his pants,
Speaker 5: he remained cool and calm and was able to glide
Speaker 5: if you had to make an emergency landing. Though, Boy,
Speaker 5: that separates the boys from the men right there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you have no experience on what you're doing
Speaker 3: and you're like, I mean, that happens every so often.
Speaker 3: And then part of me wonders if it's like that
Speaker 3: episode of The Simpsons, remember that one where they said
Speaker 3: the trucks drive themselves. Maybe the planes fly themselves and
Speaker 3: they're on autopilot or something like that. That would be
Speaker 3: kind of cool. But yeah, it's I'm really into I
Speaker 3: love flying, but I like flying on those big, safe,
Speaker 3: commercial flights, relatively safe.
Speaker 1: Knock on wood Masshole Mickey.
Speaker 3: From the Commonwealth Rights and he says, good morning fellas,
Speaker 3: Happy football Sundays Sundays Sunday. It's a may day to
Speaker 3: day for the Pats as Drake may take it over anyway.
Speaker 3: Masshole Mickey says, I have to admit, Ben, you are
Speaker 3: the reason I joined X. Never had an account until
Speaker 3: I started listening to your show. It's great to interact
Speaker 3: with you and You're and Danny g and play along
Speaker 3: with your games and try to guess your who am
Speaker 3: I your Insta trivia The Mallard Riddle. However, I do
Speaker 3: have one question for you and Danny G. Do any
Speaker 3: of you know how to block the hot, attractive looking
Speaker 3: spam women who follow my dedicated x account strictly used
Speaker 3: for your show and other sports pages and personalities. He says,
Speaker 3: Although it's quite flattering that all these attractive looking women
Speaker 3: want to follow my page for sports content and funny memes,
Speaker 3: I never get any likes or feedback from them, he says.
Speaker 3: Enjoy your day of football, food and fun. That's from
Speaker 3: Masshole Mickey in the Commonwealth. Yes, Masshole Mickey. This is
Speaker 3: one of the advantages of working overnight. If you want
Speaker 3: to get bots to follow you. The bots come out
Speaker 3: at night. The bots are out and they love to follow.
Speaker 3: There's not a lot of people sending messages out when
Speaker 3: we're on. And yeah, I have had more porn bot
Speaker 3: followers and they don't last very long. They last maybe
Speaker 3: for a couple of weeks or a month, and then
Speaker 3: the accounts get shut down. Although I don't know as
Speaker 3: much now because Elon Musk owns it's a lot different
Speaker 3: that platform. But yeah, there are so many porn bots
Speaker 3: and the way you know these people are fake if
Speaker 3: the woman looks like she could win a beauty contest
Speaker 3: in any of the fifty states. Chances are that's not
Speaker 3: a real account that I and not that these people
Speaker 3: do not want to engage in hot sports talk at
Speaker 3: three in the morning, but it's unlikely that's real.
Speaker 5: Once in a while, though, the bots are real. That's
Speaker 5: how I met My wife.
Speaker 1: Is a bot?
Speaker 4: Is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Last one on the mail bag from Cincinnati. Tommy he says, Hey, Ben,
Speaker 3: Benny Brightside, and Danny Girodelli, Greetings.
Speaker 1: From the Queen City.
Speaker 3: I've been listening for about ten years now, and Ben,
Speaker 3: you talk about your hearing loss on occasion. I have
Speaker 3: noticed that in the past few years you steadily have
Speaker 3: become louder, especially becoming very loud, screaming very quickly, then
Speaker 3: back down to a level that doesn't make me want
Speaker 3: to throw my iPad. Do you think it's a side
Speaker 3: effect of your hearing lass? I love you long time, Ben.
Speaker 3: That's from Cincinnati.
Speaker 4: Time.
Speaker 3: Well, I would like to report that my hearing has
Speaker 3: returned to the level it was before, which is substandard,
Speaker 3: but at least I can actually hear out of my
Speaker 3: right ear. I could not hear out of my right
Speaker 3: ear for about a week. It was all clogged up,
Speaker 3: and I guess I had an ear infection. Didn't realize it.
Speaker 3: Don't know how I got that. Maybe I went in
Speaker 3: the pool or whatever at the father in law's house. Yeah,
Speaker 3: at some point, probably sooner than later, I would say
Speaker 3: much sooner than later. I'll probably need some kind of
Speaker 3: hearing apparatus. But it's just it's a workplace situation, being
Speaker 3: in radio all these years. I've been in radio since
Speaker 3: I was a teenager, and you want to hear what
Speaker 3: you sound like, and you turn the volume up. But
Speaker 3: as far as going loud, and to me, I haven't
Speaker 3: changed that. I've always gone up and down. I remember
Speaker 3: when I started. I'll tell you a story Tommy, since
Speaker 3: he told me so. When I started doing radio, it
Speaker 3: was all on AM. All the sports stations were on AM.
Speaker 3: A lot of the sports stations.
Speaker 1: Are on FM now. It was all on AM. And
Speaker 1: I remember I had a program director. He said, why
Speaker 1: do you sound like your FM? You're on AM, You're
Speaker 1: not on FM. You sound like you're on FM.
Speaker 3: But you're doing AM AM one monotone voice and you
Speaker 3: just keep talking and that's it. You don't go up
Speaker 3: and down, up and down as a DJ on an
Speaker 3: FM music station. It's not it's not what you would
Speaker 3: do on an AM sports station. And I got that
Speaker 3: lecture from more than one programming person in radio.
Speaker 1: But I haven't. I haven't changed.
Speaker 3: I used the word, but but I either. I have
Speaker 3: not changed that. Maybe it's a little louder. I yell
Speaker 3: a little bit more now than I did back then.
Speaker 5: Ben, that's interesting that AM radio used to be like that,
Speaker 5: because now on sports talk radio you hear a lot
Speaker 5: of voices that go up and down.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, But you know this is a long time ago,
Speaker 3: and you got to keep in mind, Danny.
Speaker 1: As you know, we got into radio young, at a
Speaker 1: young age.
Speaker 3: These people had been in radio back you know when
Speaker 3: I started, they were probably in radio sixties and they
Speaker 3: were still doing it, you know.
Speaker 4: What I'm saying.
Speaker 3: So they had been there from the not the heyday,
Speaker 3: the heyday of radio, I don't know, forties, fifties, whenever
Speaker 3: before TV took over.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so.
Speaker 4: Your old PD used to manage Wolfman Jack.
Speaker 3: I don't know about that, but what I will tell you,
Speaker 3: And I know Patrick, who hates me because I ripped
Speaker 3: San Diego DJ and Patrick there. That was one of
Speaker 3: the coolest things I told the story. At the mighty
Speaker 3: sixth ninety there was a tribute picture wall thing for
Speaker 3: Wolfman Jack the Boss Jack. That was a boss that
Speaker 3: was a border blaster station the mighty sixth ninety that
Speaker 3: kids all over the western part of the United States
Speaker 3: would listen to get their music from. It's like a
Speaker 3: pirate ship music station way out in Mexico.
Speaker 1: Right on the boards said Aha California from.
Speaker 3: Baha to the Canadian Rockies, and Hacksa pretty much just
Speaker 3: made up the Canadian Rockies part. But he went with
Speaker 3: it and people loved it. My old boss Hacksaw back.
Speaker 4: In the day.
Speaker 1: All right, we get out on that, Danny. It's NFL.
Speaker 3: Good luck to the Raiders. I know the Rams are
Speaker 3: not going to lose today, so I don't have to
Speaker 3: worry about that.
Speaker 4: I was going to say, you're definitely going to be
Speaker 4: undefeated today.
Speaker 3: I am merely watching for Betty versus the Penny, intel
Speaker 3: and opposition research for next week and all of that,
Speaker 3: and my right hand will be getting a workout.
Speaker 1: My right hand was getting a workout. Go from game
Speaker 1: to game.
Speaker 3: I want to see how Drake May does in that
Speaker 3: New England game. How does Jaden Daniels do against a
Speaker 3: terrible Ravens pass defense? You got that Lions Cowboys game today.
Speaker 3: There's some good, good matchups, at least in theory. As
Speaker 3: we always say, whether it works out or not, that's
Speaker 3: why they play the games, that's why.
Speaker 1: They play the games. So we'll keep an eye on
Speaker 1: all that.
Speaker 3: Have a wonderful day, and I'll be back tonight on
Speaker 3: the radio, back tonight doing the overnight show, and then
Speaker 3: no days off the band and we'll continue to play
Speaker 3: music all night every night during the week, and then
Speaker 3: we'll do the TV show next week in week number seven.
Speaker 3: And we got the whole thing planned out, and Danny,
Speaker 3: anything you want to promote on this thirteenth day of October.
Speaker 5: Here this Sunday, back on the radio for Afternoon Drive
Speaker 5: with Covino and Rich two to four pm on the
Speaker 5: West Swide, and that's of course five to seven pm
Speaker 5: in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Ginia Beach where.
Speaker 3: The military planes fly in the air everywhere at all
Speaker 3: hours of the day. Have a wonderful time today. Whatever
Speaker 3: you're doing, we'll talk to you next time.
Speaker 4: Austa pasta, got a murder. I gotta go.
