Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of
Speaker 1: the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House of hot
Speaker 1: takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with
Speaker 1: Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere, even
Speaker 1: on a Sunday The mail Bag. I was debating whether
Speaker 1: or not to do the podcast this weekend. I said,
Speaker 1: you know what, I gotta do it. We gotta do
Speaker 1: it here. Eight days a week, four hours a night
Speaker 1: or not enough. Plus I'm working all Thanksgiving weeks, so
Speaker 1: I might as well do the podcast as well. The
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny g Radio, who
Speaker 1: survived his maiden voyage on Saturday and his back for
Speaker 1: the dreaded mail Bag. Are you prepared, Danny? Do you
Speaker 1: have your hazmat suits standing by? Yes? The first show
Speaker 1: is a lot of fun. I'm ready for two thousand
Speaker 1: seven d sixty more. Yes, that's right. The future. Oh my,
Speaker 1: just wait until we start doing interviews. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be out of control this podcast. There's
Speaker 1: no end date. And the great thing about podcasting, Danny,
Speaker 1: as I've realized, we might not have radio jobs when
Speaker 1: we're old, but podcasting, we can do this toward ninety
Speaker 1: five years old if we live that long, My god, right,
Speaker 1: come on, serious ship exactly all right, So the way
Speaker 1: this works not normally we play an open um, but
Speaker 1: I can't, ohio all, I can't play her open. Hopefully
Speaker 1: next week we're gonna we're gonna work it out so
Speaker 1: we will be able to play your open again. But
Speaker 1: ohio all, did send a nice jingle that we play
Speaker 1: before this. And if you want to send a question
Speaker 1: in for a future edition of The Fifth Hour, normally
Speaker 1: Monday or Tuesday, I will post on the Facebook page
Speaker 1: Ben Maller Show on Facebook a plea begging you to
Speaker 1: help us out with questions. And then I also allow
Speaker 1: you to send questions in you can privately at Real
Speaker 1: fifth Hour at gmail dot com. That's Real fifth Hour
Speaker 1: at gmail dot com. And so these are actual questions
Speaker 1: sent in, and we will answer these questions with thorough,
Speaker 1: knowledgeable responses, nanny, unless that's not what we do, unless
Speaker 1: that's not how We're just gonna let it rip, right,
Speaker 1: just let it rip, and here we go. The first
Speaker 1: message comes from Jennifer in Richmond, Virginia. She says he
Speaker 1: enjoys the dedication towards us all. She says, uh, likes
Speaker 1: the podcast in the show, Thank you Jennifer always good
Speaker 1: to suck a post there and says Marcel in Brooklyn
Speaker 1: is her fake caller. I'm gonna tell Marcel and he
Speaker 1: won't know who you are, but he'll be excited about
Speaker 1: that and probably say something witty. And anyways, Jennifer says,
Speaker 1: my two questions are this, have you ever done an
Speaker 1: escape room adventure? That's question number one? So why don't
Speaker 1: we start with that? Then we'll get the question number two.
Speaker 1: So this is a relatively new thing, I believe, the
Speaker 1: escape room. I don't know much about it. My wife
Speaker 1: wanted me to do it. She said that would be
Speaker 1: a good fun activity for us to do. And I said,
Speaker 1: I don't really know what that is, and that was
Speaker 1: kind of it is it is? It? Just obviously, Danny,
Speaker 1: do you know what it is? They put you in
Speaker 1: a room and then you have to you have to
Speaker 1: escape like you're locked in there and be an action
Speaker 1: hero and get out of the room. Is that what
Speaker 1: it is? Ben, There's only one thing in this world
Speaker 1: that I'm scared of besides Derek Carr fumbling the football,
Speaker 1: and that is closed spaces. I'm very claustrophobic, so even
Speaker 1: the thought of being locked in a small escape room
Speaker 1: does not sound fun to me. But yeah, these things
Speaker 1: have popped up, especially in tourist locations. I noticed them
Speaker 1: right out side of Disneyland. I noticed a couple in
Speaker 1: Maui when I was just there. So anytime I'm out
Speaker 1: of the area, I see them in these strip malls now.
Speaker 1: So you just it's a tight room and you just
Speaker 1: have to kind of you're in there and you have
Speaker 1: to like amazing to get out of there. There's yeah,
Speaker 1: there's different rooms, different themes, and then you have to
Speaker 1: work as a team inside to break the code in
Speaker 1: order to get out. I guess you could also get
Speaker 1: arrested and go to jail and try to break out.
Speaker 1: That would be like a real escape room. That would
Speaker 1: be like the next level, right, Yes, geez, No, I've
Speaker 1: never done that, but I think if you had kids
Speaker 1: or something, that would be that would be fun for
Speaker 1: the kids. But I'm actually you know, Jennifer, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get dragged into doing this, so I assume you've done it,
Speaker 1: so yeah, and she says her second question is would
Speaker 1: you want your body cryogenically preserved so you could be
Speaker 1: walking around in two hundred years amongst the artificially intelligent
Speaker 1: beings and see if radio is still kicking. I the
Speaker 1: way radio is going, I don't think we have to
Speaker 1: wait two hundred years. It might not make it to
Speaker 1: the end of my lifetime the way the business is going,
Speaker 1: I hope it does. I hope it lives long and
Speaker 1: prospers and all that. I actually thought about this, Jennifer,
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna say no on being cryogenically preserved. And
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. First of all, to me, life
Speaker 1: is about your friends and your family and the people
Speaker 1: that you're around. That's life. And if if you were
Speaker 1: frozen and you came back and you didn't know anyone,
Speaker 1: you didn't have a single friend, maybe you had fifth
Speaker 1: generation of your family they were still recreating children and
Speaker 1: spawning and all that stuff. But but how lonely would
Speaker 1: that be? Right? How how we I mean, there'd be
Speaker 1: the freak show thing that you're the guy that came
Speaker 1: back from the cryogenically preserved frozen brain thing, and that
Speaker 1: would be cool for a while. And there's there's some
Speaker 1: media whatever it is two hundred years from now. But
Speaker 1: I think and I think that would be tough. And
Speaker 1: I talked to people get older, and one of the
Speaker 1: main complaints that I hear from older people is that
Speaker 1: their friends are all gone, that they're you know, their
Speaker 1: loved ones are gone, that they don't have, they don't
Speaker 1: have their their their infrastructure, their life, it's it's all gone,
Speaker 1: and how how lonely they are. So I would think
Speaker 1: that if you came not to be a Debbie downer,
Speaker 1: but you would come back and you wouldn't really be
Speaker 1: It wouldn't be that fun. I don't everyone's dead besides
Speaker 1: my tender RONI. I don't think I would mind that
Speaker 1: everybody else was dead. My mom. I would miss my mom.
Speaker 1: But other than that, what came to mind when Jennifer
Speaker 1: asked that question, And as you learned on yesterday's show,
Speaker 1: I'm very much a nineties kid. Love the nineties. How
Speaker 1: about that movie Demolition Man with Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes.
Speaker 1: You remember that I did see that, Yeah, bad guy
Speaker 1: that was frozen and a good guy who they thought
Speaker 1: was bad was frozen, and then they unfroze both of
Speaker 1: them so that they could fight against each other. And
Speaker 1: the one restaurant that made it through the apocalypse was
Speaker 1: Taco Bell. It was a waiting list to get into
Speaker 1: the Taco Bell. And when they had sex, they didn't
Speaker 1: actually physically touch each other. They put on the head
Speaker 1: gear whol movie as a kid, and because of that movie,
Speaker 1: I would love to be frozen, Danny. There's Taco Bell
Speaker 1: all over you can go there's a Taco Bell just
Speaker 1: down the street. Then you can not fine dining like
Speaker 1: it was in Demolition Man. Yeah. Do you coath the
Speaker 1: hot sauce packets from Taco Bell? Do you are you
Speaker 1: that guy? Yeah? There's a pocket in my backpack that
Speaker 1: has catchup for McDonald's and hot sauce from Del Taco
Speaker 1: and Taco Bell. Yeah. I love the El Scorcho sauce.
Speaker 1: Back in my big Del Taco days, I love the
Speaker 1: El Scorcho from Del Taco. Bet you l scorchoed a
Speaker 1: few radio station bathrooms, yes, yes, uh? And Taco Tuesday.
Speaker 1: When I lived in Hollywood, it which that Del Taco
Speaker 1: which was on Highland in in in Hollywood. It's gone
Speaker 1: now it's like a CBS. But I used to go
Speaker 1: there Taco Tuesday, three tacos for a dollar. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: guarantee they don't have that anymore. I'm sure that's that's
Speaker 1: long gone. But I'd go in there, and it's kind
Speaker 1: of a bad part of town, and people be coming
Speaker 1: in there, and they'd be ordering like thirty or forty
Speaker 1: tacos for the for the rest of the week and
Speaker 1: then put them in their fridge and and that would
Speaker 1: be there their meal. But so I'm looking at Jennifer,
Speaker 1: we have two different answers. Dandy's all for leaving everyone behind.
Speaker 1: He has no friends that he really cares that much about,
Speaker 1: and he wants to come back in two hundred years
Speaker 1: and then be the king of radio. Right, you'd be
Speaker 1: the king of friends. You just make new friends. It's
Speaker 1: hard for me to make good friends. I don't know,
Speaker 1: all right, Ozzy Momentum writes in from down Under. He says, Ben,
Speaker 1: what the hell is a captain of industry? Who of
Speaker 1: those you have interviewed can be considered a captain of industry?
Speaker 1: And why? I? All right, that's a good question. Nasi momentum.
Speaker 1: So the definition of captain of industry is someone who
Speaker 1: owns or manages a large, successful business or company. That's
Speaker 1: what a captainive industry is. And the only one that
Speaker 1: I can recall we've had on here that would qualify
Speaker 1: that is Derek Hall, my old radio friend, who is
Speaker 1: the CEO. Heros on the Diamondbacks. Now we can debate
Speaker 1: whether they were successful or not because they were terrible
Speaker 1: on the field, but he's a major League baseball team
Speaker 1: and he's the CEO of the baseball team. So I
Speaker 1: think Derek Call would be the answer to the only
Speaker 1: captain of industry and something. We had a lot of
Speaker 1: media people. We've had a lot of athletes, former rights radio,
Speaker 1: a lot of radio people. I don't think anybody in
Speaker 1: radio is a captain of industry? Would that be fair
Speaker 1: to say right now we're the captain crunch of industry. Yes,
Speaker 1: we're not. Robert Barron's I don't believe we qualify that,
Speaker 1: although we have hornswaggled a number of people. Blind Scott
Speaker 1: in Boston rights in next He said, you work with
Speaker 1: the windscreen on your microphone. Howard Stern does not, but
Speaker 1: most broadcasters do. I guess you need the windscreen so
Speaker 1: you don't pop your peas. Can you do an example
Speaker 1: of this on the Fifth Hour podcast? I'd like to
Speaker 1: hear your take on. Yeah, so I have a windscreen
Speaker 1: on the microphone. I've always worked with a windscreen. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's that shocking. I think most people do.
Speaker 1: I don't know why Howard Stern doesn't use a wind screen.
Speaker 1: It seems I don't know what kind of he's got,
Speaker 1: So maybe it's the type of microphone. I was gonna
Speaker 1: say he has a million dollars in compression equipment. That's true. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true. When you have the If you heard Stern
Speaker 1: off microphone, you say, who's that guy? That doesn't sound
Speaker 1: like I've never heard of you before? But it's all
Speaker 1: the technology. Um, and I don't. I don't think the
Speaker 1: windscreen really does much. The reason I where I use
Speaker 1: the windscreen is for hygienic reasons. Working in radio, and
Speaker 1: it's a seven shop. It never closes, the kitchens always open,
Speaker 1: but unlike a restaurant, the kitchen in the radio station
Speaker 1: is never cleaned. Uh. It's it's as dirty as you
Speaker 1: can imagine. And people in radio. I love radio for
Speaker 1: some people in radio, the showers optional. You don't need
Speaker 1: a shower, and you don't need to brush your teeth
Speaker 1: and things like that. And so as when you do
Speaker 1: the radio show, you I come in and there's been
Speaker 1: you know, every few hours the there's a different person
Speaker 1: talking into the same microphone. Now I do the show.
Speaker 1: I have a home studio, so it's different now. But
Speaker 1: I got I used to get sick because if anybody
Speaker 1: got sick at the radio station, they'd spit into the
Speaker 1: microphone and then everyone would have a cold. And this
Speaker 1: is way before COVID. But I a mic screen and
Speaker 1: it was like a bright colored one, so I wouldn't
Speaker 1: forget it, and I stopped getting sick. That was one
Speaker 1: of the things that helped stop my illness from that
Speaker 1: in garlic um. So it's it's really nothing to do
Speaker 1: with popping the pie's anything like that. It's more for
Speaker 1: hygienic reasons. But again it's your Stern, as Danny said,
Speaker 1: You've got a lot of money invested in technology to
Speaker 1: make him sound good. And if the mic is any
Speaker 1: problem with the Mike Stern can just go out and
Speaker 1: buy seventeen different you know, Mike's the next day they're delivered, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's uplind Scott? I will say this. Clay Travis would
Speaker 1: pop his p's and I would get emails and tweets
Speaker 1: from some listeners saying that they just were, you know,
Speaker 1: not having it, that it bothered them so much they
Speaker 1: just wanted me to do something to stop it. And
Speaker 1: see he was wearing one of those headsets and set
Speaker 1: microphone so that there's nothing he could do. He couldn't
Speaker 1: put a cover on that. Yeah, So I would tell him,
Speaker 1: could you please adjust your your mic arm on your
Speaker 1: headset to pull it back from your mouth a little bit?
Speaker 1: And he would get so frustrated with me. He's like,
Speaker 1: I'm so sick of audio guy telling me that my
Speaker 1: p's are popping like Clay. But it makes a difference.
Speaker 1: I'm the one cleaning up your podcast. I literally would
Speaker 1: go in Ben, I'm not kidding you, to make the
Speaker 1: podcast an easier listen. I would go in and fix
Speaker 1: every p that he popped in a break. Do you
Speaker 1: know how many minutes that took. I can only imagine
Speaker 1: the nightmare. And you know, people think putting podcasts together
Speaker 1: are easy after a live show, No, they're not. Not
Speaker 1: if you want it to be a smooth sailing vessel
Speaker 1: that makes the listeners very happy, you have to spend
Speaker 1: a lot of time cleaning up the back end of
Speaker 1: a live radio show. So I did that for a
Speaker 1: long time. I finally got him to pull that mic
Speaker 1: uh back, but then it would get close to his
Speaker 1: mouth again and the problem would start all over again.
Speaker 1: So there is something to be said about people popping
Speaker 1: their peas on a regular basis. And it was something
Speaker 1: I helped LaVar Arrington with just a couple of months ago.
Speaker 1: He was popping his pas really bad. So I had
Speaker 1: engineering get him his own microphone cover, and I put
Speaker 1: it in a bag and I put it in a
Speaker 1: drawer and I said, LaVar, every morning, we're gonna get
Speaker 1: this out and we're gonna put it on. And so
Speaker 1: LaVar has a mic cover now that he proudly uses
Speaker 1: every morning. I did see that. I did see the
Speaker 1: mic cover. I've been in a few times sporadically over
Speaker 1: the last couple of months, and LaVar was was in there.
Speaker 1: And LaVar lives where I used to live in the
Speaker 1: which very odd because if I hadn't end up, if
Speaker 1: I hadn't ended up moving then me and LaVar. I'm
Speaker 1: sure he lives in a better house than I lived in,
Speaker 1: but would have been in the same neighborhood. We would
Speaker 1: have been in the same the same town, which kind
Speaker 1: of kind of cool. Tammy in Montana writes, and she's
Speaker 1: very upset. Now you're gonna learn, Danny on this show.
Speaker 1: There's this couple in Florida, Helen and Stu. They're good people.
Speaker 1: They hated Gascon, they couldn't stand guests, and Tammy loves Gascon.
Speaker 1: So she, because of her friendship with Gascon, hates Helen
Speaker 1: and Stu. And she says, Wow, Helen and Student, they
Speaker 1: really think that they are so important and influential. They
Speaker 1: got David fired, bragging as usual. Maybe Helen should find
Speaker 1: out the real reason David left before she opens her
Speaker 1: big mouth. Her email last week revealed what we all know.
Speaker 1: We all knew. She says, Tammy that she has been
Speaker 1: a wicked witch since her first breath of life. Wow.
Speaker 1: And then Tammy Wax is poetic about David Descon's banter, dedication, preparedness, sports, intellect,
Speaker 1: and sexy voice. I will be thoroughly missed on the
Speaker 1: fifth act. But Tammy, we have the great Danny g
Speaker 1: He's got that very white vibe to him, this guy,
Speaker 1: Danny G Right. I mean how many back in the day, Danny,
Speaker 1: Just all you have to do is talk to these
Speaker 1: ladies and they'd be all over you. Right, you know,
Speaker 1: I go way back with Tammy and Montana, so I
Speaker 1: think she'll like our new vibe here. As far as Gascon,
Speaker 1: I'm longtime friends with him, so I'm friends with everybody. Ben.
Speaker 1: I think the common denominator with people getting fired at
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio as you Yeah, well, yeah, well that's true.
Speaker 1: I'm even on the list though. I got let go,
Speaker 1: so I'm on my own list. I'm my own worst
Speaker 1: enemy there. Back in oh nine, January nine, Not that
Speaker 1: I remember that date specifically as an important date, but yeah,
Speaker 1: the second administration of Barack Obama. That day a mass
Speaker 1: mass firing, and my number came up on that day.
Speaker 1: Cliff from Nashville writes in says, Ben, thanks for being
Speaker 1: here for us on Thanksgiving? Absolutely, he says, do you fry?
Speaker 1: Do you want the wife fry at Turkey for Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1: Or does King Newsome forbid that? I haven't checked the
Speaker 1: COVID protocols, do you now? Danny? Do we have to
Speaker 1: put a mask on the dead turkey. You have to
Speaker 1: put a mask on when we deep fried, when the
Speaker 1: turkey is outside of the oven, when the okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what, you don't have the turkey to get
Speaker 1: COVID before, Yeah, the whole thing. No, I've never fried
Speaker 1: at turkey. I talked about this on the show Cliff
Speaker 1: I'd love the fried turkey. My wife, though, is a
Speaker 1: nine on one operator, So every Thanksgiving there's inevitably one
Speaker 1: or two people that call nine one one where she
Speaker 1: works there because somebody screwed up the turkey and then
Speaker 1: the house is on fire. And so never never done that.
Speaker 1: Although one of our listeners in Buffalo, Mark the walker
Speaker 1: he's in Rochester. He said he gave me the secret.
Speaker 1: He said, what you do is you fill the device
Speaker 1: you fried the turkey in with water first, and then
Speaker 1: that allows you to put the bird in and know
Speaker 1: the level that it needs to be. So that's a
Speaker 1: little cheap code from Mark the Walkers. So I don't
Speaker 1: think that'll cause me to do. Have you ever fried
Speaker 1: at turkey, Todny, have you ever done that? I have not.
Speaker 1: I've never made a turkey in my life. But I've
Speaker 1: obviously partaken in a lot of the leftover turkey sandwiches
Speaker 1: after other people have worked hard to make a turkey.
Speaker 1: My favorite part of Thanksgiving, Ben is the leftover turkey sandwich.
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask. So some people are taken an
Speaker 1: anti mayo position. I am pro mayo. I don't really
Speaker 1: know what it is. I know it's made out of eggs,
Speaker 1: but I try to avoid thinking. Most of the foods
Speaker 1: I eat, Danny, if I knew what they actually were
Speaker 1: made with, I would not eat the try to avoid
Speaker 1: that part of it. You do best foods. You gotta
Speaker 1: go name brand Mayonna's Light Mayo, and then a lot
Speaker 1: of the mayo on the bread, just a touch of
Speaker 1: mustard and there you go. Man slapped up that soft
Speaker 1: bread on there, Wrap it up in tinfoil, bring it
Speaker 1: to your job. You are set. I agree with you,
Speaker 1: and U FreeDOS maybe on the side, some kind of
Speaker 1: chip on the side, there, little bag of chips. That's
Speaker 1: the way to go. Uh Rick writes in from Parts
Speaker 1: on Known, he says, did I'm a pilot leave the
Speaker 1: show too? There you go a k gascon who slobbed
Speaker 1: his own knob. So Rick thinks this this other guy
Speaker 1: I'm a pilot who I can verify it's not Gascon.
Speaker 1: He's an actual pilot and during COVID he listens to
Speaker 1: the show a lot, and he listens to the podcast.
Speaker 1: He download the podcast. He like flies to like China
Speaker 1: and Japan and like really like we far away place.
Speaker 1: He's a legit long distance pilot and he would listen
Speaker 1: to the podcast because he told us the story. We
Speaker 1: actually read a whole email. We did a whole podcast
Speaker 1: dedicated I'm a pilot traveling to China during COVID and
Speaker 1: what that was like and being escorted people in these
Speaker 1: giant space suits that looked like they were, you know,
Speaker 1: to walking in the moon because he had the cooties
Speaker 1: who might have had the COVID and he was crazy.
Speaker 1: But I don't know what happened. I've not heard from
Speaker 1: I'm a Pilot in a long time. He lives in Texas.
Speaker 1: I know that, but I hope he's all right. I
Speaker 1: don't I've not heard from him. And sometimes Chef Scott
Speaker 1: from New Orleans rights in the Bayou. He says, Hey,
Speaker 1: Ben and I'll fill in Danny g here, Benn and Danigy,
Speaker 1: how about an update or have you heard anything from
Speaker 1: that douche bag ask clown Real Talk. I thought it
Speaker 1: was really cool how the Bennett's uh stuck up for
Speaker 1: you in that situation and had your back. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: have not heard. I don't know what happened to Real Talk.
Speaker 1: I never had a way of contacting him. I never
Speaker 1: had Real Talks number. I didn't have an email for
Speaker 1: Real Talk. A lot of the people that are on
Speaker 1: the show, I have some way of contacting them in
Speaker 1: case something happens and I get sick or whatever, I
Speaker 1: can check up on him. I Real Talk was a
Speaker 1: man of mystery from New York. I knew a little
Speaker 1: bit about him, but just vague stuff. And yeah, my
Speaker 1: my father had passed away and he made made some
Speaker 1: jokes about that, and then we banned him for six
Speaker 1: months and the band was up in July and he
Speaker 1: never came back. So I don't know what happened to him.
Speaker 1: He moved on to something else. He said he got married,
Speaker 1: so maybe that's why he got a day job or
Speaker 1: something like that. And he says, by the way, everybody
Speaker 1: knows soft prets are best with mustard, nacho cheese is
Speaker 1: a close second. I agree with that I agree with
Speaker 1: the nacho cheese the mustard, but I I like nacho
Speaker 1: cheese too, And I guess he's referring to a previous story,
Speaker 1: Like I go to Dodger Stating with something and they
Speaker 1: have a little cup of nacho cheese, and I'll usually
Speaker 1: get the little cup of nacho cheese. And because those
Speaker 1: mustard packets are painting the asta open up and all that,
Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of that. The hot nacho
Speaker 1: cheese makes everything better. A veteran move is when you
Speaker 1: take a date to the movies instead of getting that
Speaker 1: greasy butter all over the popcorn, leave the popcorn alone,
Speaker 1: no butter, or maybe lightly lightly lightly butter it, and
Speaker 1: then you get a cup of the nacho cheese hot
Speaker 1: on the side. Dip that popcorn into the nacho cheese.
Speaker 1: That's the way to go. That's a solbum. I've never
Speaker 1: done that. I've been in the movies in a while,
Speaker 1: but I'm usually extra butter on top of butter, on
Speaker 1: top of butter. I got so much butter I can't talk.
Speaker 1: I can't touch my clothes or I won't be able
Speaker 1: to wear them anymore because of oil stains from the
Speaker 1: butter um. So that's that's how I go. Travis in Roseberg,
Speaker 1: I believe that's an Oregon. He's written the show before.
Speaker 1: He says, several years back, I switched over to making
Speaker 1: chicken ties for the Thanksgiving instead of turkey or ham.
Speaker 1: It's been quite a success. And then Travis says, do
Speaker 1: you guys have any non traditional food or beverage options
Speaker 1: for any of the holidays? Well, I the last couple
Speaker 1: of years, I've not had a traderal Thanksgiving, so and
Speaker 1: I'll eat whatever. I'm it's a workday for me. I
Speaker 1: don't know. My family is kind of all scattered all
Speaker 1: over the place. I did go to the in laws
Speaker 1: for a while and maybe I get like a plate
Speaker 1: of a little turkey and a little mashed potatoes and
Speaker 1: things like that, but I didn't even do that this year.
Speaker 1: Um so yeah, I mean I eat like pizza. I
Speaker 1: watched football and hate pizza on Thanksgiving. That's when I
Speaker 1: made the Mallard pizza with the garlic and the onions
Speaker 1: and all that. What about you, Danny, any family traditions
Speaker 1: and the any g radio family that go back that
Speaker 1: you when you were literally kind of weird stuff on
Speaker 1: the holidays when I was little and my mom was
Speaker 1: having some money issues. We had some government cheese. There
Speaker 1: you go, the cheese, the grilled cheese, but it was
Speaker 1: the cheese that wouldn't slice very well and it definitely
Speaker 1: didn't melt very well either. Um. You know, later on,
Speaker 1: my mom started her own business and had some money.
Speaker 1: By then I was a freshman in high school. For
Speaker 1: the first time as a kid, she made a huge turkey.
Speaker 1: I didn't really enjoy the Thanksgiving meal maybe like some
Speaker 1: people do that day. I like the leftovers, I really do.
Speaker 1: I think the flavors set in best with that mash
Speaker 1: in in the gravy and the turkey. The flavors set
Speaker 1: in a day later, so I think I enjoyed heating
Speaker 1: up a nice plate the day after Thanksgiving. And then,
Speaker 1: like we talked about earlier, the leftover turkey sandwich is
Speaker 1: We're really my big memory in high school of my
Speaker 1: mom making a really nice sandwich and kicking me out
Speaker 1: the door, and I'm like, cool, that's all I need
Speaker 1: to eat today. UM, as far as non traditional stuff, nah,
Speaker 1: but like you you've made a choice not to um
Speaker 1: really partake because you're working. So Ben, what are you
Speaker 1: saving those days for because you get those days at
Speaker 1: a later time, right, Are you gonna use that for
Speaker 1: a big vacation later. Yeah. So I usually when I
Speaker 1: do every years, I hit the reset button in mid December.
Speaker 1: I pick a date, some random date in mid December,
Speaker 1: and then I'm off for like the last usually the
Speaker 1: last two weeks of the year. I remember the week
Speaker 1: before Christmas, and then I'll come back after whatever. The
Speaker 1: first Monday or Sunday night into Monday is on early January.
Speaker 1: But I have not made any points. I haven't traveled anywhere.
Speaker 1: I went to Seattle and we had a Mallard meet
Speaker 1: and greet and that was a great time with Jay
Speaker 1: Scoop and the guys in Seattle, Pacific Northwest. We had
Speaker 1: a good crowd, and then that was it. I've not
Speaker 1: flown anywhere. I haven't travel I've traveled around California a
Speaker 1: little bit. I've been to I love going to see
Speaker 1: the Giant Forest in Sequoia, going up there and doing that,
Speaker 1: and in Diego or whatever. But there's a renovation of
Speaker 1: the house which is still going on on the rampage
Speaker 1: around the house. So I've got a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: to do around here. So I don't think I'm gonna
Speaker 1: really go anywhere per se. I remember that besides that
Speaker 1: little break, you do like to save your money, you
Speaker 1: put all your cheddar under your mattress. Yeah, no, I do,
Speaker 1: and you know it's paranoid. I've told the story before
Speaker 1: when I worked in San Diego and I got into
Speaker 1: the business commercially. I worked in college radio, obviously, but
Speaker 1: that's not you know, college, and I worked at San
Speaker 1: Diego and I remember being shocked because guys would take
Speaker 1: vacation at the end of the year and they'd never
Speaker 1: come back. They just fired them. And I was like,
Speaker 1: holy crap. And the program direct to be like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I can go down to the train station to find guys,
Speaker 1: do you know the whole thing? And uh So that
Speaker 1: that set me up. And I've had people that's better.
Speaker 1: You gotta be there. You gotta be there there. And
Speaker 1: because because radio is all about habits people or a podcast,
Speaker 1: right people, if it's there, they'll listen. If it's not there,
Speaker 1: they're gonna find something else to listen to. And so
Speaker 1: I try to be there as much as I can.
Speaker 1: But Thanksgiving is a great weekend to work because you
Speaker 1: have all the football, and I'd much rather take a
Speaker 1: day off in June. Not that I normally do that,
Speaker 1: but I'd much rather take a day off in June
Speaker 1: then per se take a day off, and you know,
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving there's three NFL games and there's all kinds of
Speaker 1: stuff going on. I actually do have a trip. I
Speaker 1: will be traveling. I'm gonna have to take some time off,
Speaker 1: like a week in I think March or April. My
Speaker 1: sister in law is getting married, I believe, so I
Speaker 1: have to travel to North Carolina. Sounds like a made
Speaker 1: up story already. No no, no, no, no, no, no no
Speaker 1: no no. I've been warned. My my wife has been
Speaker 1: warning me. She got to save the day. She says,
Speaker 1: you're taking time off to go to this wedding. I'm like, really,
Speaker 1: maybe I can. You know I can do the show
Speaker 1: from North Carolina. I've done it from other places. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: you gotta take the time off. So COVID weddings aren't bad,
Speaker 1: ben people save a lot of money, like businesses and restaurants.
Speaker 1: You can just blame all the bad changes on COVID. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I think this is in the south, right north, But
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Where's the where does the South start? Where's
Speaker 1: the point of demarcation. I think of North Carolina as
Speaker 1: the South. I think of it as anyway. It's in
Speaker 1: the it's in North Carolinaish. I don't believe they have
Speaker 1: the draconian California COVID rules. I think people actually living
Speaker 1: their lives there. You have a large NASCAR track, that's
Speaker 1: where it starts. Whoever, well then Virginia, Yeah, I love
Speaker 1: you Nascar. Yeah. Alright, moving on, let's see who do
Speaker 1: we have? Kevin in Kansas rights and he says, uh,
Speaker 1: dear Ben and friends, thanks for working this weekend. Uh.
Speaker 1: He says, uh blah blah blah blah blah. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: one of many. I appreciate you working. Blah blah blah
Speaker 1: blah blah. He says. Is there any Thanksgiving food that
Speaker 1: just doesn't sit well with you? All right? So this
Speaker 1: is a another Thanksgiving related question. And I don't eat yams.
Speaker 1: I don't like yams. I'm trying to go whatever. I
Speaker 1: whatever doesn't sit well with me. I don't eat. So
Speaker 1: everything I eat, I'm pretty good with it. Danny, you
Speaker 1: just eat leftover, so you know what you like. So
Speaker 1: I think I don't think we can really answer this question, right.
Speaker 1: I am surprised, Ben, because yams are pretty good, especially
Speaker 1: when they are made to be like a sweet dish
Speaker 1: where you got the marshmallows on top and it's kind
Speaker 1: of a dessert. You know. I'm not a big fan
Speaker 1: of stuffing. It's not I guess it depends who made it,
Speaker 1: because I've had different dishes of stuffing where they're decent
Speaker 1: and then other ones where it's like you could maybe
Speaker 1: hide the dryness with some gravy, mix it on your
Speaker 1: plate that way. But I've seen like my older brother
Speaker 1: loves stuff he would put a huge pile on his plate,
Speaker 1: go back for seconds, and put another big pile of
Speaker 1: stuffing on his plate. I'm like, bro, it tastes like dogs.
Speaker 1: I'm just I don't know. I'm not a huge fan
Speaker 1: of stuffing. Yeah, stuffing, there's a there's a big spectrum
Speaker 1: when it comes to stuff Like stuffing can be great
Speaker 1: if it's got seasoning and all that, and it can
Speaker 1: be the worst thing you've ever eat and so it's
Speaker 1: really a it's a hidden miss dish. There's no consistency
Speaker 1: like the mash, but the mash properly made mashed potatoes.
Speaker 1: One of the great meals. It's a gravy on. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's just absolutely wonderful. But anyway, thank you Kevin
Speaker 1: for that Craig in Camel City. You know where Camel
Speaker 1: City is, Nanny g No, It's in the Tobacco Road
Speaker 1: in North Carolina, and Craig says, formerly from St. Louis.
Speaker 1: I have asked this question before, but I believe it
Speaker 1: wasn't answered. Is there any way to get some Ben
Speaker 1: Mallow's show merch hats T shirts? I endorse the show, well, Craig,
Speaker 1: I don't have any new products. I did make some
Speaker 1: T shirts years ago, and I stumbled across those shirts recently.
Speaker 1: They're a little little dated. I mean, they're still in
Speaker 1: good shape. They've been in a box for a while,
Speaker 1: and I was debating whether to put them up and
Speaker 1: let people try to get them. I might give some away,
Speaker 1: but I do. I have two different versions of shirts.
Speaker 1: We sold them. And the reason I don't sell merchandise, Craig,
Speaker 1: is because every time I've tried to sell something, all
Speaker 1: I get is people complaining it's too expensive, it doesn't
Speaker 1: fit right, and so I don't. I didn't want to
Speaker 1: deal with it Danny. So I don't even bother the
Speaker 1: ship the hassle too, because people don't like to wait,
Speaker 1: and I don't either, especially nowadays. We're also spoiled with Amazon.
Speaker 1: If that, if that merchandise isn't on their door the
Speaker 1: next day, then you're you're not hippo. Yeah, exactly. So
Speaker 1: that's that's another problem on top of everything. The hat thing.
Speaker 1: Like I I've always tried to spend a little my
Speaker 1: make it, make it good material, and then that costs
Speaker 1: more and then you gotta pass that on to the
Speaker 1: consumer and then becomes a big big to do. So
Speaker 1: stay tuned, Craig. I might have something for you. One
Speaker 1: piece of merchandise I still have been. I don't know
Speaker 1: who made this. I don't know if you remember, but
Speaker 1: the Raider hats that were sent to us, and it
Speaker 1: was your face. Oh yes, yeah, that is a that
Speaker 1: is and most people don't even notice that my face
Speaker 1: is the Raider logo on because it looks the same.
Speaker 1: It's just my face, super imposted. I think what had
Speaker 1: happened with that, if I remember some dude on Twitter
Speaker 1: had made that and then somebody else made that into
Speaker 1: a hat, and that was the year I was a
Speaker 1: Raider fan and they were not good that year, Daddy,
Speaker 1: So it's when's the last time the Raiders had a
Speaker 1: good team. It was when they were gonna go into
Speaker 1: they were gonna go deep into the playoffs that season.
Speaker 1: I don't think Derek Carr would puke like he does
Speaker 1: in most games. And then no, because for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: he was unstoppable that season, even in big games. He
Speaker 1: came through. Which is why there's so much division between
Speaker 1: Raider Nation right now because a lot of Raider fans
Speaker 1: remember that teen Derek Carr, So you know he's got
Speaker 1: it in him, but he hasn't really shown it since
Speaker 1: here and there at the beginning of seasons, but then
Speaker 1: it fades away. Well, that is the definition though, of
Speaker 1: greatness is doing it week after week. You're not only
Speaker 1: doing it for seven weeks, but then you gotta do
Speaker 1: it the whole year. Yeah, he's not, he's not. He's
Speaker 1: not that guy. Pal not that guy that whole year.
Speaker 1: And then he got his leg broke. It's broke, it's broke. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Who's who's gonna coach the Raiders? Danny, Are You're gonna
Speaker 1: leave the podcast to coach the Raiders next year. Oh man,
Speaker 1: I'm hoping for Bill Parcels. Bill Parcels, come on, he's
Speaker 1: hanging out getting sunt tans on the beach in Hawaii.
Speaker 1: Bill Parcels know it was like a thousand years old
Speaker 1: at this point. You need a true Parself's grandson to
Speaker 1: coach the Raiders. Okay, Bill Cower, Then let's go Bill Cower.
Speaker 1: There you go, Bill ca the chin. He's got such
Speaker 1: a cooshy job on CBS. He's never leaving leaving CBS.
Speaker 1: I say Mark would hire Gruden back if he was
Speaker 1: just gonna say that. You have everybody a middle finger.
Speaker 1: H Gruden wins his lawsuit, and part of that is
Speaker 1: he gets to come back to the team. There you go,
Speaker 1: there you go, and then live happily ever after. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can bring back what's the guy? Was it? Guys?
Speaker 1: And he coached the Browns? Also? Was that Jackson? I
Speaker 1: know what Gruden thinks about my heritage even and I
Speaker 1: don't care as long as he wins on the field. Man,
Speaker 1: there you go. It's football, all right, it's football. J
Speaker 1: from de Louse, Just win, yes, right, just win baby
Speaker 1: J J from Luther Right, since it's Ben I Podcast
Speaker 1: every day, all four hours. He says he's been doing
Speaker 1: it since Tleven. I used to get all four hours
Speaker 1: the show in about two hours and forty five minutes,
Speaker 1: but the last month has really messed up my day.
Speaker 1: He says that marathon fat commercials over seven minutes. Then
Speaker 1: there is a couple of commercials after it ends up
Speaker 1: being three hours and twenty minutes. Now, so I missed
Speaker 1: the end of the show or the beginning of the
Speaker 1: noon to three k fan show. Jay says, I want
Speaker 1: to listen to the I want to listen to that
Speaker 1: commercial and Mike, he says, he doesn't. He misspelled the
Speaker 1: word here. I have been changing the channel when it
Speaker 1: comes on and sometimes forget to switch it back, missing
Speaker 1: part of your podcast. There, he goes, is uh, please
Speaker 1: have the commercial go away? Well listen, Jay. What it
Speaker 1: sounds like to me is you are complaining because the
Speaker 1: podcast is successful, that people are advertising on the podcast,
Speaker 1: that this is a nam of revenue for the company,
Speaker 1: that they're making money. And just imagine how much that
Speaker 1: company paid for the seven minute commercial that we have
Speaker 1: on the podcast. Think about the amount of revenue coming
Speaker 1: in which means I can keep doing these podcasts and uh,
Speaker 1: and the company is very happy and they will continue
Speaker 1: to employ me and all that. If I choose to
Speaker 1: continue to work here, they will continue to give me
Speaker 1: money and all that stuff. So you gotta look at
Speaker 1: it that one. Anytime somebody complains, and then any time
Speaker 1: somebody complains about commercials, I'm like, listen, we're really just
Speaker 1: the filler between the That's really why we're there, right. Well,
Speaker 1: you have to remember any time you tune on PBS
Speaker 1: on your TV, they always have the people on there
Speaker 1: in between the couple of shows they might play saying
Speaker 1: your contribution is what makes things run around here, and
Speaker 1: now we could do that. Radio could just be an
Speaker 1: infomercial with us asking for people to send some money in.
Speaker 1: That would be an going because I know we have
Speaker 1: some favorite radio stations where every now and again you
Speaker 1: tune it on in the morning show has changed formats
Speaker 1: to be a telethon, and those days are hard to
Speaker 1: listen to because even though they're doing something really good
Speaker 1: and for a good cause, you're not tuning in for
Speaker 1: a radio a thon or telethon. So just imagine it
Speaker 1: could be that, but instead it's sixty second commercials. Usually
Speaker 1: thirty second commercials, in this case a longer commercial. But
Speaker 1: what I always tell listeners, if you love the programming,
Speaker 1: take advantage of the fact that you don't have to
Speaker 1: pay a subscription. You don't have to pay for satellite radio,
Speaker 1: you don't have to pay for Ben Mallor's entertainment. You
Speaker 1: put a lot of time and effort in Ben, but
Speaker 1: the way you and I get paid is through the
Speaker 1: sponsors paying the network. So I always tell listeners the
Speaker 1: best thing you can do to help support us is
Speaker 1: support those sponsors. When you say, uh, you know, what
Speaker 1: do you say? You always say forward, slash Mallard or
Speaker 1: whatever the code might be. Man put that code in
Speaker 1: because when they see the Mallard name, that means people
Speaker 1: are listening to you and they're gonna keep spending money, exactly.
Speaker 1: And we had John Sterling on the Voice of the Yankees.
Speaker 1: He was great on the podcast, and he had a
Speaker 1: wonderful line because I've the Yankee Broadcast if you think
Speaker 1: you don't like our podcast because commercials the Yankee Radio
Speaker 1: Broadcast begins, it's almost like satire. There's so many spots
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the Yankee Radio Broadcast with every
Speaker 1: high end car dealership and you know Wall Street moguls,
Speaker 1: and it's just insane. And John, I wasn't been in
Speaker 1: New York a few times. I've heard the broadcast. Be
Speaker 1: in New York to year the broadcast and it sounds
Speaker 1: like a skit, like it doesn't sound real. There's so
Speaker 1: many commercials. And John said, the most important thing in
Speaker 1: all these jobs is sell the soap. You gotta sell
Speaker 1: the soap. And if you can't sell the soap, you
Speaker 1: don't have a job. And so I love all the
Speaker 1: advertisers and anybody that's willing to spend money and these things.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, these commercials are not cheap. Okay, uh,
Speaker 1: these are pretty pricey commercials to buy at time. I
Speaker 1: was shocked when I found out I had some people
Speaker 1: that wanted to buy us commercials like mom and pop
Speaker 1: shops on the podcast. And then I found it. Once
Speaker 1: I found out how much the rate was, they said, well,
Speaker 1: we can't really afford that, and they they it's a
Speaker 1: national audience. Jerry writes in with One Good Eye from
Speaker 1: Warwick Roade. I've actually met Jerry. She won a contest
Speaker 1: when the Dodgers played the Red Sox in the World
Speaker 1: Series in twenty eighteen and they flew her out from
Speaker 1: Boston to the game's at Dodger Stadium and it was
Speaker 1: really cool. I she was on local TV news in
Speaker 1: Rhode Island and they Boston as well, the local you know,
Speaker 1: New England stations were there to tell her story. Has
Speaker 1: she you know, she was she's going blind and she
Speaker 1: got to see the Red Sox and was her dream.
Speaker 1: And I was really cool and she met like Big
Speaker 1: Poppy was really nice to her and all that. She says,
Speaker 1: what's the funniest or strangest awkward Turkey Day moment you
Speaker 1: can remember family related anything related to Turkey Day. Well,
Speaker 1: I've told this story before, Jerry. It's one of the
Speaker 1: great stories of the Mallard family, and my mom and
Speaker 1: dad rest in peace. But we were having Thanksgiving dinner
Speaker 1: many many years ago, and my mom had said everything
Speaker 1: up and we put everything on the table and we
Speaker 1: were eating and then we we noticed there was no gravy,
Speaker 1: and so we needed the gravy and so my my
Speaker 1: brother Mike went to get the gravy and somehow in
Speaker 1: transporting the gravy back to the table, there was an accident.
Speaker 1: The gravy was dropped from the bird, and gravy went
Speaker 1: splattering all over the roof of the kitchen, the walls
Speaker 1: of the kitchen, the entire fucking kitchen of it and gravy.
Speaker 1: It was unbelievable. I had no idea Gray he could
Speaker 1: travel as far as the gravy traveled, Danny. And so
Speaker 1: that was very memorable because me and my brother and
Speaker 1: my dad, and my mom as much as she could
Speaker 1: because she was in a wheelchair, we all cleaned up
Speaker 1: the gravy. That's how we spent Thanksgiving night, cleaning up
Speaker 1: gravy to try to get it off the walls. Sounds
Speaker 1: like you and Tarry, Yeah, well your point, we get
Speaker 1: all together. If you listen to the Saturday podcast, the Tarryaki,
Speaker 1: Me and sauces don't go together. It's very saucy Danny.
Speaker 1: At least it wasn't ranch. Well, that's the devil's blood,
Speaker 1: you know that, Danny. That ranch dressing is the devil's blood.
Speaker 1: It is disgusting, it's rotting, it's terrible. It's almost as bad. Well,
Speaker 1: it's worse than blue cheese, but blue cheese is like
Speaker 1: the cousin of ranch dressing. So it's all in the scene. Throw,
Speaker 1: but you're wrong about Ranch. We've already established that is incorrect.
Speaker 1: I am right. I have taken a strong anti ranch position.
Speaker 1: I have won many elections. The electorate says that I
Speaker 1: am correct. Danny Uh any weird, any weird, awkward. There's
Speaker 1: a theme that I've done podcasting. I don't want to
Speaker 1: do a Thanksgiving young cheesy things. Everyone's asking the questions
Speaker 1: about Thanksgiving, which I appreciate. This isn't cheesy. It's a
Speaker 1: little r rated. Um not awkward, well, maybe awkward. It
Speaker 1: was definitely memorable as a young broadcaster, always worked the
Speaker 1: holidays because that's where you could pick up Morning drive. Uh.
Speaker 1: Suddenly I'd be on afternoon Drive and I was just
Speaker 1: a sixteen seventeen year old kid at the time, and
Speaker 1: you know, I'm on Morning Drive fifty thou watt station.
Speaker 1: And they handed the staring wheel and the car keys
Speaker 1: over to me, and they're like, here you go, kid,
Speaker 1: We're all gonna be at our homes with our families
Speaker 1: and me. I'm just a single guy trying to make
Speaker 1: it big in radio. So I'm driving the big car.
Speaker 1: And afterwards, a radio buddy of mine met up with
Speaker 1: me at a I'm trying to think of the restaurant
Speaker 1: up in northern California. Happy Steak was the name of it.
Speaker 1: So we're we're eating, uh, you know, their Thanksgiving special.
Speaker 1: And at the other booth were strippers. Nice. We had
Speaker 1: a booth of strippers and a booth of DJs, and
Speaker 1: and my radio friend invited them over, and so you
Speaker 1: had it. Then you had a booth of strippers and
Speaker 1: DJs together all breaking bread and telling stories about each industry.
Speaker 1: And I remember the server just shaking her head like
Speaker 1: who are these people? It was very memorable Thanksgiving. That's outstanding.
Speaker 1: I had back in the day on the weekend show
Speaker 1: before you the company I used to go to when
Speaker 1: I was single. I had nothing to do, I had
Speaker 1: no life. I ate a lot at weird times. I
Speaker 1: had a regular diet, and I would go to the
Speaker 1: Denny's on down the street from the Fox Sports Radio studio.
Speaker 1: I think it's in technically it's in Van Eyes. I
Speaker 1: think it's it's a little north of the studio. And
Speaker 1: we'd go in there and it was great because you'd
Speaker 1: have the crowd come in when the club kind of ended,
Speaker 1: and then you'd have the strippers come in there and
Speaker 1: sometimes you'd have the hookers in there because it was
Speaker 1: right near a hotel, and it was a very interesting crowd.
Speaker 1: Very interesting crowd. There's something here. It was not some
Speaker 1: of the things that happened there. Easiness. How late did
Speaker 1: those meals go? Ben? Oh, I would stay out. I
Speaker 1: would come back. Sometimes the sun was already rising and
Speaker 1: I would be on my way back. I'd be driving
Speaker 1: back bleary eyed, it's been three hours in the Denny's.
Speaker 1: In fact, Chris Plank, one of the hosts at Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, is a respected broadcaster in Oklahoma. He actually
Speaker 1: when he came lated everybody we went to Denny's, we
Speaker 1: asked when we we hung out and bonded and broke
Speaker 1: bread and I eat the chicken strips and he he
Speaker 1: had I think he had the breakfast food, if I
Speaker 1: remember correctly. But yeah, nice r J. Last question. R
Speaker 1: J in saying in Tonio, this is very awkward, Nan,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I should answer this one. He says,
Speaker 1: what's your sleep higher shirt, no shirt, socks, no socks,
Speaker 1: birthday suit, et cetera. Doesn't that sound like an invasion
Speaker 1: of our privacy? Danny, Yeah, a little bit. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't even want to picture you in your bed
Speaker 1: or your bad I don't want to think about big
Speaker 1: band in his bed. I put on my MUMU and
Speaker 1: I go to bed. I mean, come on, you have
Speaker 1: your clippers, pj's. Yes, I have my my Chuck the
Speaker 1: Condor onesie. I put on there and I knocked the
Speaker 1: logos all over it. Yeah, I knocked myself out. But
Speaker 1: that's that's what I have. One socks. Socks is a
Speaker 1: weird thing. I've only worn socks to bed when it's
Speaker 1: really really cold, but I don't I usually don't get
Speaker 1: that cold. I'm usually pretty musually pretty warm. I don't
Speaker 1: really worry about that. I would argue that with you, man,
Speaker 1: I'm a socks dude, because that's where it just keeps
Speaker 1: your entire body warm. If I have socks on, then
Speaker 1: I just need boxers. But if I don't have socks on,
Speaker 1: I need sweats, I need a shirt. I feel like
Speaker 1: your heat. It's like a furnace down at your feet.
Speaker 1: It generates your body heat. Yeah, no, I've heard that,
Speaker 1: but I liked I get really nice sheets and then
Speaker 1: feel like my toes. I like my toes to feel
Speaker 1: the bottom of the bed. That's what I enjoy here
Speaker 1: we go exactly. But lately my wife is she's a
Speaker 1: pro heating blanket. She's into the heating blanket. So that's
Speaker 1: been an addition to the to the house. And I
Speaker 1: tell her it doesn't even get cold. I took her
Speaker 1: to Boston. We went to Boston one time. It was
Speaker 1: in the winter. It wasn't even really the middle of
Speaker 1: the winter. It was like it was in November, and
Speaker 1: it was starting to get cold. And we happened to
Speaker 1: be there and it was snowed a little bit. It
Speaker 1: was kind of cold on the weekend. And man, she
Speaker 1: she was so frozen. She's we had to leave a
Speaker 1: Red Sox game. The Red Sox was playing the Blue Jays,
Speaker 1: so what it was a late oct over and uh,
Speaker 1: it was very cold at Finway and and I'm like, listen,
Speaker 1: I don't go to very many Red Sox games. I
Speaker 1: don't want to leave. And she's like, no, we gotta
Speaker 1: get out of here. I'm too cold. I gotta you know,
Speaker 1: here's a hot tip for all the men. And and
Speaker 1: don't get Bill Cosby thoughts here, okay, but get iron pills,
Speaker 1: get a spoon, crush it up, stir it in your
Speaker 1: girls orange juice, give her some iron supplements, Ben, because
Speaker 1: they say that that's why most women are so cold.
Speaker 1: They have an iron deficiency. So there you go. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there you forced feet of iron and then they'll bitch
Speaker 1: less about being cold. That is anything that gets less complaining.
Speaker 1: I'm all about. I do enough planning on the radio.
Speaker 1: I don't need to hear complaining. I complain about every
Speaker 1: athlete and team out there for for twenty hours a
Speaker 1: week or whatever it is. Anyway, all right, Danny will
Speaker 1: put the baby to bed here on a Sunday and welcome.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're here, Danny. I've been looking forward to
Speaker 1: doing future podcast with you and we'll have a good
Speaker 1: time in the Magic podcast Box. You can hit me
