He's the last remnants of 0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.920 the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats 0:00:12.960 --> 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 --> 0:00:32.760 Maller starts right now in the air everywhere, and a 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:36.240 very good Sunday to you if you're listening the day 0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:40.320 this podcast drops. It is the Fifth Hour with Ben 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:45.199 Maller and Danny g Radio, and it's all about the 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:47.720 mail bag, which we're gonna get to in a moment. 0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:52.920 Danny g As, we have had a big weekend here. Friday, 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:58.280 David Vasse, the man that went viral, went down a 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:01.400 slide in Milwaukee and gave us the inside skinny. I'd 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:05.039 never heard the details that he had actually gone down 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:08.679 the slide twice. He actually succeeded the first time, didn't 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:14.000 get hurt, and it was the second time, all for television. 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:17.080 He ends up breaking six ribs in his wrist. And 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:20.119 but he's a he's a legend now, he's a viral star. 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:23.040 Not many people can say they've had a viral moment 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:26.440 where the New York Post TMZ, all the tabloids they 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.200 were writing about him. He's a big deal now. They 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.679 made the T shirt go get it out of the Ocean, 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:34.640 and they made the vasse a T shirt with him 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:39.600 holding up his cast. Uh, that's that's rare ground. And 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:41.840 I then I gotta say this really quick. That was 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:45.200 some of the best investigative reporting you've done on the podcast. 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:47.880 That's my audition tape to go to sixty minutes or 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.080 whatever whatever the new investigative show is. I don't know that. 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:51.880 When I was a kid, it was sixty minutes. But 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.080 but yeah, no, I was really into it. We did 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:59.000 frame by frame coverage what happened. Everybody on sixty minutes died. Yeah, 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.440 they're all that. But the waiver he had to sign 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:05.040 the waiver. Uh. He talked about Mookie Bets giving him 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.360 a hug. That was kind of cool, the Dodger guys 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.560 checking on him, and that was met the human side 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:14.240 of some of these multimillionaire ball players and it was great. 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:16.560 So if you didn't hear that, go back and download 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:20.680 that on the Friday podcast. Let me tell you Dannagy. 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:25.040 The The deal on this is that Vasse has set 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.760 like download records. I mentioned this on the podcast. I'm 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.960 not exaggerated like Dodger Talk. The show that he does, 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:37.000 it gets insane downloads every month. So maybe we'll benefit 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:39.240 from that, like in an indirect way having Vessey on, 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:43.359 we'll get some of those download numbers from that. Lots 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.800 of dog groupies, yeah, for sure, for sure. So before 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:48.240 we get to the mailback though, I wanted to go 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:51.400 back to the Saturday podcast. Jay Scoop posted a nice 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:55.360 message on the backscratchers segment, and you can do that 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.040 as well on the Apple podcast page. Just write a 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:02.600 review and helps us out. So he announced this week 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.800 he has been a relationship for a long time. In fact, 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.600 I met his his girlfriend when I was in Seattle. 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.320 We had a meal together. Very nice woman. But they've 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.760 gone their separate ways. There were some issues. They disagreed 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:19.640 on some very important things, and so they decided to 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:23.320 depart ways. And so Jay Scoop is back on the market, 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.320 and he hasn't been on the market for a long time. 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.560 And he said, I need some advice. He can I 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.400 have Danny g give me some. Now he's going to 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.040 be at this event, or he was at the event 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.080 I should say, on Friday, so he probably already came 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.760 up to you. So this is like after the fact advice, 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.000 But this is for the other people out there, any 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:45.480 last second tinderon e tips that Danny G can give 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.160 to a guy like Jay Scoop who was in a 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.680 relationship for a long time and now he's back out 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:56.240 trying to catch a nice young lady. Yeah, I would say, 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:58.800 you don't want to get too serious too fast with 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:02.640 anyone been. Don't jump into some rebound because your mind 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:07.800 is not even clear yet, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.920 it's the rebound, you know, the old the bouncy bouncy 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:15.600 bouncy bounds have a huge basket by just enjoy yourself, 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:19.520 have fun, do things, go out and meet new friends. 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:23.360 Things will fall into place. Everything is better after you've 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.000 had some time and look yourself in the mirror and 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:29.080 do your ship even better. And then you're really ready 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.479 after that to meet somebody that's going to be the 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.520 right person long term.

I wish that we 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:21.039 would have had lacrosse up here. Thanks. That's from from 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:23.880 Nick Well. I I did get to play a little 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:27.760 bit of the sports I loved. There's nothing I didn't 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.719 get to play that I wish I had played. I 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.440 wish well, I used that I love baseball. I didn't 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:36.680 play in high school and because I wasn't that great 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:38.360 at it, but I would have loved to have done 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:40.720 it in high school. Would have been fun. But I 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.440 played football. I played a little basketball for one year 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:47.720 in high school, So I dabbled in that. Um trying 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.400 to think like maybe something in the water, if I 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.240 knew how to surf or something like that, that would 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:54.839 be kind of cool. What about you, Danny, anything that 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.279 you wish you could do that you didn't do. Yeah, 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.600 this one's easy, except this sport wasn't around when we 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:04.880 were in school pickle ball, pickle ball, pickle ball. But 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:12.600 Google just google it. You kids just google it. Uh. 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.280 Though the kids know what it is, some adults don't know, 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.560 but some do. Ben because there's actually an adult pickle 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:22.119 ball league in this area. You play with a tennis net. 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:29.440 It's a cross between bad mitton and tennis. Okay, I'm 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.960 looking at a special whiffle ball is used and it's 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:36.400 almost like paddles for the rackets. Oh man, that looks 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.160 too much like tennis. Though that might be a pain 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.720 in the ass. I don't know. Fun, it's a lot 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.560 of fun. And when you play with the kids, they 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:46.360 think they're gonna smoke you right away, just because you're older. 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.880 I not only held my own I was spiking that 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:52.920 ball down on the kids because we grew up, you know, 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:56.040 trying to learn how to play tennis. So we got 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.280 some of those skills in the back hand and all 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:00.840 that does take a lot of in dotty you though, 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:04.920 according to the Internet, pickleball was invented in nineteen sixty five, 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:08.119 so it's really not that old. A children's backyard game 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:13.280 in Bainbridge Island, Washington. Yeah, and and did you know, Danny, 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:16.480 you probably did because you're a pickleball guy. In two 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:20.600 this year, pickle ball was adopted as the official state 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:24.080 sport of Washington. Did not know that. I know that 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:28.040 there's leagues and teams popping up across the country. Yeah, 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:32.719 there's an American Pickleball Association. That's crazy. You know who 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:36.959 would love this, Our friend Pierre and and Alf the 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:41.240 adianal Piner would love love pickle ball because they're all 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:45.480 about the pickle They're all in bed. At my middle school, 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:48.720 they do a pickleball tournament. Kids are up there for days. 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.720 They signed their teams up and there was a prize 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.839 at the end of it. Their pickle ball crazy. They 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:59.080 love the pickle ball. I what about cornhole? I think 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.720 cornhole's an under a rated thing. It's not really a sport, 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:06.520 but it's a fun thing. Yeah, that's right. Mike from 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:08.760 East of the four oh five rights, and he says, 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:12.199 after you had another shameless cheating scandal on the weekday show, 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.960 this might be Mike from Fullerton Possible. He says, after 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.319 another cheating scan on the weekday Show that Danny g 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:21.560 witnessed firsthand. I have a question about cheaters. Have either 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:25.040 of you caught someone cheating outside the show before, like 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:29.120 in a board game, poker, or a sport. I'll go first, yes, Mike. 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:33.559 In fact, I was there in attendance in the seventeen 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:40.000 World Series when the Houston Strows were cheating against the 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:44.560 Dodgers in the World Series. That is scumbags. Uh. And 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:46.520 they were doing it on the road, they were doing 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.280 it at home. Baseball covered up, they downplayed the damage. 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:53.679 They ran interference for him. But they were cheating everywhere. Uh, 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:56.920 the Strows, that's the big one. But as far as 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.960 like board game stuff, yeah, back back in the day, 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.680 you'd see like Monopoly trying to people trying to sneak 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:07.160 a little extra house here and there. Uh, what about you, Danny. 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:10.240 As a kid, we lived in the Bay Area after 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:16.840 we left l A the season Jose Conseco went for yeah, yeah, 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:21.320 tickets to the A's games that season. So I witnessed cheating, right, 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.560 that's true. That's true. Did you want witness anyone in 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:28.200 the upper deck of the Colosseum getting a tongue bath? 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:30.480 Did you witness any of that? I was at the 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:32.880 age where I would have been confused and I would 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:36.000 have been asking questions, what what's that? What are they 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:40.800 doing up there? That is there milking the cow? Is 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:42.880 that what's going on there? That does not look like 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:45.120 a cow? I don't Yeah. And if you don't know 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:48.440 what Ben's talking about, go to the internet and you'll 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:54.160 see the uh the viral, the virus video. What happened 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:57.320 up top at an Oakland A's game. Let's just say 0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:00.840 it gives new meaning to the A suck this. Yes, 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:04.959 there was a lot of sucking and the the A 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:09.520 is really blow They really do there. She blows. That's 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:11.960 a term when you see a whale. That's a fishing term. 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:16.280 Right there, she blows that. You say, they're moving on 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:21.120 on the mail bag. Let's see yo yo ma Benny Uh. 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:25.560 The email begins from our friend in uh in Tennessee says, 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:29.200 has Real Talk ever tried to call after his suspension 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:31.679 from the show? If he did call when you put 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:34.760 him on the air, so a Real Talk to my knowledge, 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:37.920 has not tried to call the show. Uh. He called 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.600 me at a time I had just come back, my 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:45.120 father had passed away. He made made a few insensitive 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.480 comments and we we gave him what originally was a 0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:52.079 six month band from the show and just has turned 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:56.960 into over two years off the year. But yeah, if 0:11:57.000 --> 0:12:01.120 he called up and was somewhat apologetic, I would I 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.720 would put him on here. I I don't have an issue. 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:07.000 He would always do the same, stick with real talks, 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.040 standard call for those who don't know real talk. He 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:11.400 was one of my regular callers from New York. This 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:14.679 may be my last call I'll ever make. And he 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:17.400 got married. I think what happened is he just got 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:19.840 married and he just stopped because a lot of guys 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:21.800 when they get married, they can't keep listening to the 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:25.680 show and participating. I don't think he was working overnights anymore. 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.520 I think that's what all right. But but anyway, he 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:30.880 would call up, he'd do a kind of a normal call. 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:34.960 He'd ask questions, and he'd like, hey, Eddie, what do 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:38.080 you think about barbecued ribs? And then he'd be okay, well, good, good, 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:41.240 good good, And he'd asked Cooper question in Roberto, and 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.640 then at some point he would ask the most obscene, 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:47.320 offensive question he could possibly ask, and then we'd have 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.320 to hang him up, hang up on him. And you 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:52.120 were with me, of course, Dan that so I was 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:54.800 there when he was a reigning caller of the year. Yeah, 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:59.480 highly decorated. In fact, the Golden Ticket began with he 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:02.160 was like, the US gotta get it, and we gave 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:04.880 him one and he called right back the next segment, 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:09.839 get back on the air. That was awesome, may he 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:12.680 he and I kind of put that idea together. Yeah, 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:17.240 And we rewarded him with the very first one, back up, 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:20.360 back up, get jack up, catch up? All right? Alan 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.640 and Akarin Ohio rights and he says, Danny g why 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.200 do you use different sign offs like later skater and 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:29.000 hosta pasta? Most broadcasters used the same one every time. 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.320 We like to mix it up. Man, You don't just 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:34.760 do one podcast. You blow the competition out of the 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:39.760 water by doing three podcasts. Yes, exactly, exactly. So I 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.440 gotta keep people on their toes, and we're we have 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:45.640 routines and we kind of do same segments and some 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:49.440 of our famous sayings, but you can't just predict which 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:52.400 one is coming because we have a few of them. 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:54.760 I love the fact that this has been in Alan's 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:57.040 head long enough where he's like, I gotta get an answer. 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.600 I got us in the message in because I it's 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:05.320 killing me. Why I hear hasta pasta or asta pasta 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:09.280 or whatever, and later skip. And also after I do that, 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:15.200 I rotate either by Felicia or of course the famous one. 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:18.720 Roberto still uses gotta murder, gotta go oh, yes, our 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:21.880 buddy in Florida. Yeah, And sometimes to really keep you 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:24.560 on your toes, I throw helmet man in there where 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:27.280 he says one more thing, man, what do you think 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:31.960 about the orioles? Well, there are so many of those. 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:34.680 I had a guy, the Duke guy, that wanted to 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:37.320 propose to his lady on the show, and he did. 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:42.080 And then he had done the proposal and he says, 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:44.400 can I still talk about duke or something like that. 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:48.680 It was so so ridiculous, so so stupid here. But 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.160 you know, we're just trying to get along, you know. 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.040 Don't be rude. We don't want to be rude. We 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:54.800 don't want to be rude at all. Now, this is 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:56.960 a question from the past, so we're gonna go on 0:14:57.000 --> 0:15:00.240 the way back machine. This next one's from Johnny, and 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:03.040 he wanted to know, are you all gonna live stream 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:06.760 the meet up? We've already had the meet up. I 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.480 had no plans to live stream the meet up, Danny, 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:13.120 So this is us in the future. Right now and so, 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:17.040 but we don't exactly know what happened in the past. Yeah, 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.640 we don't know. Eddie has been known to randomly turn 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:25.240 on a camera and take some really awkward photos. Terry 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:28.920 from England Rights and he says, did you have any 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:34.120 inspirational teachers at school? Of course, Terry list, I would 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:37.640 not be where I am without teachers pushing me along 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:42.520 in certain directions. I had Mr Zeke uh Carl, I 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:45.080 actually I called him Mr Carl, but he was a 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:48.920 great guy. And uh I had a problem of actually 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:51.760 getting up early to go to school, so I I 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:53.640 hated getting up in the morning. I was not a 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.200 morning I'm still not a morning person, but uh he 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:58.320 was a really good influence on me. I had a 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:02.280 speech teacher in high school also kind of like really 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:06.960 not more debate than speech and Mr Laura I believe 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:08.960 was his name, and he if I remember correctly, but 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:10.560 but he was really cool, like he just like was 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.080 neat and it was one of those classes where you 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:15.840 don't feel like you're in school, and it's really hard 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.560 when you're a kid. Because I was a bad not 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:20.360 a bad stuit. I just didn't like getting up early 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:22.920 for school and like when you were in a class 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:24.720 where it didn't feel like you were in school, like 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:26.720 those were the greatest class, Like you were doing stuff, 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.440 but it didn't feel like it. And it's very hard. 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:31.600 There's an art to it. I know, Danny, you're a 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:33.240 teacher and you do that stuff. So if you can 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:35.320 get to that level where the kids don't really feel 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:38.560 like they're in school, you will be their favorite teacher 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:41.360 and you will you will be someone they talk about 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:44.680 when they're middle aged people. You will, Yeah, for sure. 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:46.520 It's kind of like I I have a group of 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:49.760 kids in one of the morning classes where when they 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:53.920 finish their bookwork or now their chromebook work, I let 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:58.240 them play the we oh yeah, they're playing Super Mario 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:01.840 Brothers and it the you know, it's the Week Controllers. 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:04.840 So it's really fun to play Mario Brothers. Like that. 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:08.680 They think I'm the coolest person alive. Of course, that'll 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:11.280 change once they get, you know, in trouble for something. 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.320 But no, you're right. I mean we think back to 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:18.240 teachers that made it kind of this awesome little world 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:21.720 that we stepped inside, got out of the bullshit away 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:24.560 from home, and we were able to step into something 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:27.680 that was more entertaining. I had a teacher like that, 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:31.960 Mrs Johnson. Her class was amazing. She was an amazing 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:35.119 teacher to this day. I think about the books she 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:37.560 read to us, some of the things she did with 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.919 the class. And she even did little cool field trips 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:43.480 to where we got to have a party that she 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:47.640 threw in her backyard and she made the ice cream herself, 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:50.400 and I thought that was the coolest shit ever. Nextually, 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:52.719 I know, I just saw this white thing flying at 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.439 my face. Are you sure she did or she just 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.240 telling you that? No, No, she had that actual machine 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:01.760 that made the ice cream. And I thought, oh, I'm 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:03.879 coming from the inner city. At that point, I'm like, 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:06.679 they make their own ice cream over here. This I 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:10.800 want to live here. That's awesome. Teachers have quotas Danny 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:13.320 like police officers have. Police officers have to write a 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:15.959 certain number of tickets, even though they say they don't like. 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:19.200 If you're a teacher, are you allowed to pass every 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:21.199 one of your students? Can you do you have to 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:23.679 give some bad grades? Do they get upset if you 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:27.399 give everyone good grades? How does that work? That's a 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:30.480 good question. I think that sort of pressure goes to 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:34.360 the pe teachers because the parents all expect their kid 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:38.119 to pass PE. How are you gonna fail PE? How 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:42.120 are you gonna get fired on your day off? It's true, though, 0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:45.120 if you don't do well in PE, I mean, it's 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:48.600 like the easiest thing that you pass, go collect two 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:52.840 hundred dollars, the parents will come complain. I've seen the 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:57.080 PE coaches in meetings in the main office because the 0:18:57.119 --> 0:18:59.760 principal or the vice principle is trying to get that 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:03.359 mail bumped up, and I feel bad for the pet 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:06.120 E cher. I'm like, man, they're not allowed to fail anybody. 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:10.960 Oh yeah, it's brutal alright, next up on the mail bags. 0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:16.000 See here, any meany money? Yes we do. Jennifer, our 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:19.560 friend in Richmond, Virginia unable. She was unable to attend 0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:22.200 the Mallard meet and Greek, but she will come hang 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:24.040 out with us. At some point. She says, Hello, Benn 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:28.600 and Danny gy. Imagine you are on a frisbee golf 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:33.040 course with creeks, meadows, trees, and small leggs. If you 0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:36.320 were gonna have an unusually bad throw, would you rather 0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:40.760 have your frisbee land and sink into the murky mossy 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:45.399 knee deep mosquito infested creek, or right next to it 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:51.840 a huge, scary looking, long talent, sharp beaked alpha goose. 0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:56.200 Who you must get that frisbee back since it's your 0:19:56.240 --> 0:19:59.920 best one. Which do you prefer, man, I've had some 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:03.679 bad runnings with those geese. Man, those things are bastards. 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:10.080 I would go mosquito because I have been beaten by 0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:13.480 so many mosquitoes. I feel like it wouldn't really impact 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:16.920 me at all. What say you, Danny G I say, 0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:20.080 what kind of damn creative question? Was that? I wanted 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:22.159 her to share some of the stuff she's spoken was 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:24.840 Jennifer was on a She was actually out. She was 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:27.840 having a meeting with Joe Rogan and her friend Aaron Rodgers, 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:32.000 and they were having some ayahuasca. Came up with that. 0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:35.080 Very unusual that she would send that out, but she was. 0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:38.360 She was on the psychedelics. Good for you, Jennifer lived 0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:41.280 your best life, young lady. Good job by you. I 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:46.720 think mushrooms taste gross smoke weed al right. Next one 0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:49.960 from Angelina, she writes, and she says, has been a 0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:51.720 while since I've written, but I still listen to the 0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:55.359 podcast and show consistently. I haven't had something to write 0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:58.880 up until now. I thought of the issue. I am 0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:02.520 a word person says and kind of pay attention to 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:05.960 how people say, which is one of the reasons I 0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:09.000 really like your show and the podcast. You were all great. Anyway, 0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:11.800 I wanted to get your take on a few things 0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:14.480 in a couple of the ads. Have you noticed in 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:18.960 the link Soul Clothing at it says that their garments 0:21:18.960 --> 0:21:23.240 are breathable and it would take days to put holes 0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:28.520 in your clothes if you did it yourself. M She writes, 0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:31.679 Uh no, I think it could only take seconds to 0:21:31.720 --> 0:21:34.600 put holes in my clothes if I wanted to. It's 0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:40.200 such an odd line. Maybe I am missing something. This 0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:45.880 is especially funny because on Tuesday, Chloe, the eleven year old, 0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:48.760 came out of the bathroom with pants that she had 0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:53.080 just destroyed with scissors on man, Yeah, because she could 0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:58.320 not cut enough holes into these jeans. Yeah, well, how 0:21:58.320 --> 0:22:00.800 did you handle? How did how did the Her mom 0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:03.240 just rolled her eyes and she's like, look at Chloe's 0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:09.480 new jeans. The most amazing part of that, as as 0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:13.000 is obviously referencing they sell those things for an ungodly 0:22:13.040 --> 0:22:18.000 amount of money, right, Yeah, they charge you extra, which 0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:21.520 is like we did the scissor work, you lazy ex 0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:23.919 gens or whatever the gen x is or whatever the 0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:27.680 hell you're called. Yeah, so let me answer the question 0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:30.400 this way, Angela, and I'll go back to my studying 0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:34.440 of infomercials. I have read several books on infomercials. We 0:22:34.520 --> 0:22:37.959 tried to get Mr Poppel on rom Popel but he 0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:40.520 died before he could come on. Well he actually turned 0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:42.000 this down a couple of times before he could come on. 0:22:42.040 --> 0:22:45.480 But that guys, the o Gas passed away. Well he 0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:47.920
