Speaker 1: Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, dred minutes
Speaker 1: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse, the Clearinghouse of hot takes,

Speaker 1: in the messages you can post right. David mill Valley
Speaker 1: kicks us off here. He says, Ben, as your wife
Speaker 1: ever listened to the radio show or the Fifth Hour podcast?
Speaker 1: If she has, what does she think and if she
Speaker 1: has it, would she be pleased or just made if
Speaker 1: she did the same question for Danny Gara Deli and
Speaker 1: his Tenderroni. So I'll go first out. We've talked about
Speaker 1: this dandy in the past when you were giving advice
Speaker 1: on the radio. Anybody that's worked in the radio business
Speaker 1: knows when you first start dating a young woman. I
Speaker 1: assume what works the same way the other way, but
Speaker 1: I only know the women part. So when you date
Speaker 1: a young woman and all that, they're very excited when
Speaker 1: you they find out you're work in radio, and they
Speaker 1: listen to everything you have to say, and they want
Speaker 1: to hear every show. And then after a while they
Speaker 1: never listen to anything that you do. They want nothing
Speaker 1: to do with that. Uh. And as far as my wife,
Speaker 1: she's the same way, although occasionally she does tell me
Speaker 1: that she listens to this podcast, actually this Saturday podcast.
Speaker 1: She likes the Saturday podcast because she says, it's the
Speaker 1: only time I talk about my life because, as you know, Danny, uh,
Speaker 1: I get a little burned out talking during the week,
Speaker 1: and I we record these podcasts near the end of
Speaker 1: the week, so by the time the weekend comes on,
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk to anything. I just want
Speaker 1: to be like a magician and vanish and you, Dany,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get out of here and not talk and
Speaker 1: take a valve silence and all that. But she does
Speaker 1: listen to Saturday podcast a little bit because I'll tell
Speaker 1: stories about her and the and the family and stuff
Speaker 1: that's going on in the house. But the radio show,
Speaker 1: he's got a big sports man. When I first met her,
Speaker 1: she told me she didn't like talk radio, and the
Speaker 1: other thing she said she hated because her dad used
Speaker 1: to listen to talk radio. She's a little girl growing up.
Speaker 1: She didn't like. And then she told me she didn't
Speaker 1: like TMZ. At the time, I was in the running
Speaker 1: to run TMZ Sports and she told me she hated
Speaker 1: t MZ. So was it wonderful wonderful thing? Anyway? Anyway, Danny,
Speaker 1: what about your experience. I think you summed it up
Speaker 1: really well there, because I've had the same experience with
Speaker 1: my Tenderroni right now, except she does download the Fifth
Speaker 1: Hour podcasts automatically to her phone and on her Monday
Speaker 1: commute she does listen. Now, I don't know how thorough.
Speaker 1: I don't know if she listens to the whole show.
Speaker 1: But for whatever reason, she has radar been because whenever
Speaker 1: you and I tell old stories about stuff we did
Speaker 1: in our twenties, maybe with other girls and things like that,
Speaker 1: for some reason she hears those stories and then I
Speaker 1: get comments back afterwards, and you told her, of course,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're told your tenderon E that it is
Speaker 1: part of the creative process to occasionally mix intertwine nonfiction
Speaker 1: and fiction, and you don't know which part is fiction
Speaker 1: or nonfiction. It's a mosaic. You're painting a word picture
Speaker 1: on the radio, in the in the air and all
Speaker 1: that stuff. And then she probably comes back and says, hey, Danny,
Speaker 1: shut the funk up. Okay, shut the fuck up. He's like, dud,
Speaker 1: you're never taking me there. I'm not ever going to
Speaker 1: that place with you. Yeah, well it is. You have
Speaker 1: certain places with someone you're dating, and then you can't.
Speaker 1: You can't. It's like Ghostbusters you don't cross the stream
Speaker 1: away from those places anyways. And I always tell her,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, from the very first kiss
Speaker 1: we had, it magically erased all the other women I
Speaker 1: ever kissed or had anything to do with. So you
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about that, because once we kissed,
Speaker 1: it erased everything. My memory erased. Yeah. It was like
Speaker 1: the neuralizer from Men in Black with agent. It was
Speaker 1: an agent, k right. You know, once you neuralize there,
Speaker 1: you freeze your eyes, you lose focus, and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden you were raised all the members. That
Speaker 1: Will Smith guy in that movie, he'll slap you. That's
Speaker 1: sorry that if they made Men in Black now, he
Speaker 1: would just come over. Will would just slap you across
Speaker 1: the face and you lose all your memory just like that.
Speaker 1: Man would all be awesome, it'll be so cool. Unfortunately there,
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna be making that movie now.
Speaker 1: Will Smith has been banned from the Academy words but
Speaker 1: he can still win? Is he still eligible to win?
Speaker 1: How is that a bad thing? He doesn't have to
Speaker 1: get dressed up in a in a penguin suit and
Speaker 1: go out there. He pulled himself out though, remember, so
Speaker 1: maybe he can't be nominated then because of how he
Speaker 1: pulled himself out of the Academy. Remember, now, he's been
Speaker 1: pretty good at generating revenue for the movie studios. Does
Speaker 1: this help him or hurt him? Or will we hear
Speaker 1: from him again? I'm not a big movie guy, but
Speaker 1: you know, I know in the media business, any publicity
Speaker 1: is good publicity and all that. In America, we love
Speaker 1: to see our stars crash and burn and then a
Speaker 1: little bit later down the road, we like a good
Speaker 1: comeback story. All on Tiger Woods. Is that still true though?
Speaker 1: I thought we're still I don't know about that. Is
Speaker 1: that stuff you think it's just it's just burn and
Speaker 1: stay burned? Yeah, I think it's now scorched earth. It's
Speaker 1: completely burn it, burn it up. Man, that's what you
Speaker 1: gotta do. I think, I don't. I hope I'm I'm
Speaker 1: wrong on that. But Will Will would definitely have a
Speaker 1: future if they want to make a well he was
Speaker 1: what what was the boxing movie? He was in a
Speaker 1: boxing movie? What Muhammad? Yeah, the Muhammad Ali movie. So
Speaker 1: they could you can make like they made a Mike
Speaker 1: Tyson movie. Is that Is that a thing yet? With
Speaker 1: I think so so they could have him do that,
Speaker 1: that's an option. Yeah. So yeah, there you go. So
Speaker 1: we'll keep any that all right. Now, next up on
Speaker 1: the mail bag, these are actual questions from actual listeners
Speaker 1: of the Fifth Hour podcast, and we answer these questions
Speaker 1: right here. It's amazing. All right, come back, pay attention.
Speaker 1: It's time from I'll call. That's right. Next up is
Speaker 1: Tammy and Montana, and Tammy says, hey, Ben and Danny
Speaker 1: g clarification on my Tommy's Chili dog experience. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: were wondering, like, there's no Tommy's in Montana, So what
Speaker 1: the hell was that all about? Were we being horn swaggled,
Speaker 1: let astray by our friend Tammy in Montana? Well, she
Speaker 1: is here to explain that her friend purchased frozen hot
Speaker 1: dogs and frozen chili from tom his website and had
Speaker 1: them shipped to Montana. That was one of your guesses.
Speaker 1: Al right, So I got that right, and I I
Speaker 1: am surprised. I wonder that tastes like that because there's
Speaker 1: a one of my favorite delis is in Manhattan and
Speaker 1: they send the pastrami around the country and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, this is gonna taste that good if
Speaker 1: I get it and I have to put it together
Speaker 1: and all that I don't I am I gonna say
Speaker 1: to that? I don't know? Uh, Tammy uh, says Ben.
Speaker 1: I was wondering what happened to hideous Hellen's childhood? Here
Speaker 1: we go again, Danny, here we go. You got warring
Speaker 1: factions Montana versus the state of Florida. What is going
Speaker 1: on with this? People have never met each other, but
Speaker 1: they are very upset with each other. And it's a yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh so. The email goes, I was one ofing what
Speaker 1: happened to hideous Helen's childhood? That she is so delusional
Speaker 1: power couple, powerfully narcissistic. Yes, there is only one power couple.
Speaker 1: That's the humble Leslie and Jack. How delusional Helen is
Speaker 1: to think her favorite restaurant, Golden Corral is a fine
Speaker 1: dining steakhouse. Shots fired. Helen is a narcissistic liar who
Speaker 1: needs to self enhanced to feel better about her pathetic,
Speaker 1: white trash life. Have a great weekend, you guys deserve it.
Speaker 1: Signed Dammy in Montana man. All right, well, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you for that, Tammy man. All right. The next
Speaker 1: up is the rebuttal from Helen and Stu in Palmetto Bay.
Speaker 1: And this email starts ben in Danny hold on, I say, see,
Speaker 1: I don't want Helen to send me a nasty message, Danny,
Speaker 1: because I didn't give her the proper the proper salute.
Speaker 1: So let me let me take care of that. Right now,
Speaker 1: here we go. I got mail, yea, I got mail, yea.
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. It says a few comments
Speaker 1: and the question about your glue couple, cam Newton laid
Speaker 1: a few eggs this week, preferring his women know how
Speaker 1: to cook and know when to keep quiet. Why was
Speaker 1: that such a big deal? Like? Who cares if Cam
Speaker 1: Newton wants women to certain I like what, I don't
Speaker 1: understand that sexist. I saw a lot of comments saying, hey,
Speaker 1: this dude has like seven kids out of wedlock, maybe
Speaker 1: he should get married if he wants traditional he likes
Speaker 1: to pretend, you know, the marriage, probably likes the relationship process.
Speaker 1: He enjoys the stooping part of that. He's a big
Speaker 1: fan of that. And apparently, uh, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: empty nets there for him. He's put the the biscuit
Speaker 1: in the basket multiple times there anyway, Helen says Mr Newton,
Speaker 1: you sexist, free agent clown ship as a sports savvy
Speaker 1: woman who knows how to bake and cook and not
Speaker 1: keep quiet like now, if it's the fourth quarter of
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and you're down one score and you
Speaker 1: fumble and the balls bouncing around at your feet like
Speaker 1: my home cooked roast, You're not supposed to react like
Speaker 1: a Beverly Hills housewife who just saw a mouse run
Speaker 1: into the kitchen, fall on the damn ball. No risk it,
Speaker 1: no super Bowl biscuit. That's a good line, shot line.
Speaker 1: That is the defining moment of Cam Newton as an
Speaker 1: NFL player. That's it for me on the show. Though
Speaker 1: there were so many funny things that Cam Newton did
Speaker 1: on our radio show, but during the early years there
Speaker 1: he had maybe had the Rosie the riveter ran there.
Speaker 1: There was a game he played also in Nashville, and
Speaker 1: some woman wrote a letter to the newspaper. They're complaining
Speaker 1: about Cam Newton's chest puffs, pelvic thrust and arrogant struts.
Speaker 1: I sold that line. I used that line about a
Speaker 1: lot of people over the years. And my favorite Cam
Speaker 1: Newton story of all time. You remember this dandy from
Speaker 1: working on the show was when Carolina was struggling in
Speaker 1: twelve and with a seemingly straightfits. Can't believe it's been
Speaker 1: ten years since has happened. But cam Newton decided that
Speaker 1: the key to the Carolina Panthers turning things around at
Speaker 1: that time was a suggestion box in the locker room
Speaker 1: that you could blindly leave suggestions on how to prove
Speaker 1: improve the team. That was That was a ten. That
Speaker 1: was one of the funniest things that I have ever seen,
Speaker 1: because I have my own experiences. We've talked about this
Speaker 1: in the past. If you knew the show with the
Speaker 1: suggestion box. I worked at a radio station. Program director
Speaker 1: came in said, hey, I don't care. You know, you
Speaker 1: guys can write whatever you want. I'm not gonna judge you.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I don't want to know. I just
Speaker 1: want to know what you're upset about with the radio station.
Speaker 1: So of course some of the producers who were making
Speaker 1: ship money and did not like the programming on the
Speaker 1: radio station wrote letters in and then it was it
Speaker 1: was on, and it was exaggerated, how come I'm not
Speaker 1: on the schedule this week? It was so still it's
Speaker 1: still going. And finally died. But no, the point is
Speaker 1: the guy said, do whatever you want, we don't care.
Speaker 1: And then he was a police interrogation. He brought everyone
Speaker 1: in one by one at the radio station until he
Speaker 1: found out who sent the letter in and the guy
Speaker 1: got let go, and that he he ended up selling
Speaker 1: real estate. I think a lot of money in real estate.
Speaker 1: Uh was the guy that was one of the producers. So,
Speaker 1: speaking of Star Wars, it's that famous line. Yeah, oh, totally,
Speaker 1: totally it was. It's hilarious. Helen's email continues. Boys, speaking
Speaker 1: of NFL quarterbacks, Eddie do just enough work to get paid.
Speaker 1: Garcia Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins died this Wow, you would
Speaker 1: think in a perfect world a garbage time quarterback would
Speaker 1: be hit and killed by wait for it, a garbage wall. Helen,
Speaker 1: come on, it's not right here, taste. That's how dare you? Anyways,
Speaker 1: she says from last week's mail bag, if there is
Speaker 1: one woman who knows hot dogs, it's Tammy and Montana.
Speaker 1: So Helen getting a shot in at Tammy. She says,
Speaker 1: rest in peace, Gilbert Godfried a funny jew that is true. Ben,
Speaker 1: In closing a quick three part follow up question for
Speaker 1: Danny G. Danny Helen writes, per you're entertaining Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Story Number one, did you get the raise? Number two?
Speaker 1: Since Trump called the show on his personal cell phone,
Speaker 1: did you capture his phone number on caller I D
Speaker 1: and number three? If so, have you ever drunk dialed
Speaker 1: the number? Let's see peace out? Helen and Stu palmetto
Speaker 1: Bay floors. Well, no, yes and no, I haven't drunk out. Wait, wait,
Speaker 1: you have Donald Trump's personal cell phone number. I have
Speaker 1: the number. I have the number had a former president's
Speaker 1: phone number. I don't know if it's working or not
Speaker 1: right now. I could try it. I guess we could
Speaker 1: get your Trump on the podcast. Wait a minute, here,
Speaker 1: you could sit down interview with you, he Mr former President,
Speaker 1: it's Danny G. You told me I'd get a raised.
Speaker 1: I didn't get a raised, but I want to have
Speaker 1: you on think yes, no, our boss. I remember after
Speaker 1: the first interview he told me, man, that was awesome.
Speaker 1: I got emails congratulating me in Clay and Uh from
Speaker 1: both bosses. I thought, well, this, I guess, is the
Speaker 1: raise right here? Wrong? And then after the second interview,
Speaker 1: where Trump admitted that he said I should get a raise,
Speaker 1: I thought, well, this will seal the deal. I'm definitely
Speaker 1: gonna get a raise, and it didn't happen. Well, it's
Speaker 1: in the mail. It's in the mail. It might have
Speaker 1: been lost in the mail, but it's in the mood.
Speaker 1: That's cool. I did not realize you had Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: phone number. That's that's next level. Maybe the phone he
Speaker 1: was using belong to the White House. I'm not sure,
Speaker 1: but it like it seemed like his personal phone, the
Speaker 1: way he was, the way he was just kicking it
Speaker 1: on the phone. Yeah. I went through my contact list
Speaker 1: the other day randomly, and I was like, wow, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of people in here that aren't alive anymore.
Speaker 1: That was that was the eye opener here. That's always there.
Speaker 1: I never I never take anyone's number out of my
Speaker 1: phone when they die. Yeah, I feel like that's my tribute.
Speaker 1: I saw the Great Frank's number in my phone. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: the big cod piece Frank. You know, there's still his
Speaker 1: memorial um like the program or whatever, the program, the remembrance,
Speaker 1: we still have that hanging in the studio. And so
Speaker 1: every right around the Super Bowl every year we talked
Speaker 1: about Frank. Oh yeah, I love Frank. And I mentioned
Speaker 1: Frank this week on the air. We were talking about
Speaker 1: John Sterling totally botched a home run call and Frank.
Speaker 1: I love Frank because he was it was so quick
Speaker 1: catlike reflexes. Every weekend when Frank was my guy, we
Speaker 1: would place the Yankee roll call. We called it yes
Speaker 1: that Yeah, it was great, and we'd go through all
Speaker 1: here's the Yankee lineup, and we played John Sterling home
Speaker 1: round calls and Frank had all of them at that
Speaker 1: at his fingertips. I mean, it was good to go
Speaker 1: on that. It was. It was pretty cool. Back in
Speaker 1: a day. I'm trying to think dead people. I have
Speaker 1: Tommy the Swords number. He's Larry King. He's in here,
Speaker 1: the late Larry King. Let's see here, page Dan, page Dan.
Speaker 1: I have some I guess he's still alive, this guy,
Speaker 1: but he's dead to me. The guy we're supposed to
Speaker 1: have last week, he didn't. He didn't get back to us.
Speaker 1: See who else is checked out? Oh, Jimmy Ray from
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, the caller for the show. I have his number.
Speaker 1: I don't know how I got Yeah, I got his
Speaker 1: number when he got sick. I did some some calls
Speaker 1: to try to cheer him up, and then he passed away.
Speaker 1: Let's see, I got Holler and James in there. I
Speaker 1: do not have Halloween James phone. I do not women
Speaker 1: white women. You d add that to my list. Darrell
Speaker 1: Hamilton's I have his. Remember Daryl baseball player Daryl. I
Speaker 1: did TV with him briefly. He was murdered by a woman. Murder, murder,
Speaker 1: suicide in Houston. Great guy, starting to get dark. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I probably should stop. Probably, there's a few others in
Speaker 1: here that are not going down murder memory lane. I
Speaker 1: feel like Cowboy in Windsor. I'm doing all right. Here's
Speaker 1: the death report. This guy died. That guy died. My
Speaker 1: dentist died. I have Johannes John's number. Not the terrorist,
Speaker 1: the guy that used to call the radio show and
Speaker 1: he quit. He retired from the show Rain, which was
Speaker 1: very bizarre. I still don't understand quite how that happened,
Speaker 1: but it did. And uh whatever, what even? Good luck?
Speaker 1: All right? Moving Pierre from Springfield, Massachusetts, rights and he
Speaker 1: says this pandemic has spawned the birth of online ordering.
Speaker 1: An in store pickup or curbside pickup. An East Coast
Speaker 1: competitor of Costco is called b J's Wholesale Club. While
Speaker 1: b J's offers online order and same day pick up,
Speaker 1: Costco here does not. While I'm sure you would not
Speaker 1: partake and rubside pickup because you wouldn't be able to
Speaker 1: grab your samples. Does Costco on the West Coast offer
Speaker 1: online ordering and in store pick up or do you
Speaker 1: utilize the service at other store? So I've never used that, Like, well,
Speaker 1: I do know the Costco near the Mallard mansion. They
Speaker 1: have a bunch of lockers in the front where they
Speaker 1: leave orders, so they do have in store pick up,
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure about the online I don't know
Speaker 1: how all that other stuff works. I've I've really not
Speaker 1: partected that if you bought anything in that area, Danny,
Speaker 1: are you familiar with that? No. Costco for us is
Speaker 1: one of those stores where half the experience is going
Speaker 1: in and walking all those big aisles. Yeah, for sure,
Speaker 1: and you you want to see stuff you haven't seen.
Speaker 1: They usually have products that aren't there that long. They
Speaker 1: have temporary things that come in and so and the
Speaker 1: samples which are kind of back, but it's not the same.
Speaker 1: They're back like on a small time basis. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean before garry hitting mass and and it's really sad man,
Speaker 1: because as you know, you could, you know, kind of
Speaker 1: make at least an appetizer run at Costco. Back in
Speaker 1: the day, Back in the old days, I would go
Speaker 1: there and that was before I was fasting all the time.
Speaker 1: And I would go there and I'd make the rounds.
Speaker 1: I'd be fighting my My wife would be so upset
Speaker 1: with me because I'd be fighting like old Asian women,
Speaker 1: old dudes and uh, fighting these grandmothers and grandpas to
Speaker 1: try to get samples at Costco. And she's like, what
Speaker 1: are you doing? Oh my god, who the hell can stop?
Speaker 1: That's just food, you know, I you look like you've
Speaker 1: never eaten before that whole Uh. But I love the
Speaker 1: people who pretend like they're going to buy the product. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well there's that. There's that move, like you start engaging
Speaker 1: the sample person like, well, tell me more about the product,
Speaker 1: and then they have all the talking points so then
Speaker 1: they're like, okay, so this is the the way you know,
Speaker 1: the products started to hear blah blah blah and know
Speaker 1: that whole thing, and you're like, well, what what the
Speaker 1: what you come on? And you really just want the food.
Speaker 1: But The cool thing is when somebody does engage that
Speaker 1: distracts the sample person, so then you can come in
Speaker 1: for the kill shot and get more of the food. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you're not even paying attention to the fact that
Speaker 1: you're there for thirds. It's like magic. The key to
Speaker 1: magic is distraction. You must distract the eye. And once
Speaker 1: you distract the eye, you're good to go on that
Speaker 1: and so that's that's the key. Anyway, thank you Pierre
Speaker 1: for that. I am looking forward when I go on
Speaker 1: my Midwest East Coast sodiurn. I do plan I don't
Speaker 1: think my wife knows this yet, but I do plan
Speaker 1: on going to costcos in every city I visit, because
Speaker 1: I have heard and our guys in Canada. I think
Speaker 1: it was in Vancouver. A listener in Vancouver pointed out
Speaker 1: that they have chicken fingers in the the food area
Speaker 1: at Costco. So I was like, Oh, I gotta see
Speaker 1: what they have, Like maybe in Wisconsin they have cheese
Speaker 1: curds or something like that, or poutine or something like
Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to seeing what they are. I'll
Speaker 1: be there. Wow. All right. Next up, we have Barry
Speaker 1: from Nashville, says yo Yo Mob Benny is there any
Speaker 1: line where Dave Roberts would allow a picture who had
Speaker 1: a perfect game to continue pitching, Like if he was
Speaker 1: in the eighth and had a twenty pitches, does he
Speaker 1: still pull him? And he says sorry if my tornado
Speaker 1: story was too dark. No, your tornado story was not
Speaker 1: not too dark. But you know we have no tornado experience.
Speaker 1: We're not you're the tornado veteran. We're not the tornado
Speaker 1: veterans here at all. Your opinion of Dave Robert's performance,
Speaker 1: Danny g Well, I like that spott he was in there, Ben,
Speaker 1: I like that spot he was in. Um he did
Speaker 1: this to rich Hill, and I remember we hated on
Speaker 1: him on the air for doing It's a rich back
Speaker 1: then because you only have maybe one two tops opportunities
Speaker 1: like this in your entire career. If you're Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 1: And what There's been thousands upon hundreds of thousands of
Speaker 1: baseball games over the years, and there's only been twenty
Speaker 1: three perfect games, and there's been like four hundred no hitters.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of no hitters, but perfect game twenty
Speaker 1: three of those and there should be twenty four. But Gallarago,
Speaker 1: the Tigers got hosed by Jim Joyce, the umpire there
Speaker 1: in Detroit. But the thing that was I mentioned this
Speaker 1: on the show the other night. I did a rant
Speaker 1: about it, is that there are so many young fans,
Speaker 1: like you're younger than us, Danny, that this is all
Speaker 1: they know. They they expect their players to be lazy.
Speaker 1: They expect their players to be soft. That's what they know.
Speaker 1: And they genuinely believe this is the way. And you
Speaker 1: hear the old timers and they just roll their eyes
Speaker 1: at this, and they're like Reggie Jackson, Mr. October a
Speaker 1: nemesis of the Dodgers when he was at the Yankees
Speaker 1: in those years, And Reggie Jackson is goofing on the
Speaker 1: Dodgers and what are you doing? This is where I
Speaker 1: would love Nolan Ryan to get in a room with
Speaker 1: Dave Robertson just slap him across the face. Yeah, can
Speaker 1: we get We should get Nolan Ryan on the show.
Speaker 1: We should track down Nolan Ryan and see if he
Speaker 1: would come on and explain pitching and that that or
Speaker 1: or if you know, we should Mike Marshall is another guy,
Speaker 1: the pitching Mike Marshall. If he's still around, I think
Speaker 1: he's still around. He's getting up there in age. I
Speaker 1: believe he's still around, and he's talked about this in
Speaker 1: the past and stuff, so and some of those old times,
Speaker 1: and we'll just doing a point by point on there
Speaker 1: would make like a ven diagra, an audio ven diagram
Speaker 1: of why it is for Gazzy what is going on
Speaker 1: right now? And the people running baseball, our Mama Luke's
Speaker 1: and all of sports. This disease has infiltrated all of
Speaker 1: sports laziness. It's the mindset had always been go above
Speaker 1: and beyond the call of duty, that it was a
Speaker 1: badge of honor. Now it is a badge of honor
Speaker 1: to be like the cliche of a d m V employee,
Speaker 1: a government worker doing the bare minimum and nothing extra.
Speaker 1: And that's it saying we have worked until we literally
Speaker 1: have laryngitis. Can you imagine if you were on a
Speaker 1: word count with your voice. Yeah, and you know, Ben,
Speaker 1: you hit words on yesterday. Sho, I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: sit you. Brian Knows coming in tomorrow. Yeah, Ben, you've
Speaker 1: done three podcast You've done three monologues and three podcasts.
Speaker 1: That's enough. We want to save you for the football season.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna gonna rest up a little bit. We
Speaker 1: don't once you get laryngitis. It's it's free And Kershaw
Speaker 1: what I know. Kershaw was towing the company line to
Speaker 1: a point, Well what do you do? Owing in his
Speaker 1: line there that it would have been selfish. One of
Speaker 1: the most outrageous quotes I've ever heard from a professional athlete.
Speaker 1: A Hall of Fame picture Clayton Kershaw saying it would
Speaker 1: have been selfish to throw a perfect game. I'm Kershaw.
Speaker 1: I would have shook Roberts off. I would have told
Speaker 1: him to get off my mound. Dude. By yeah, I
Speaker 1: really like myself in this spot. Take that for data.
Speaker 1: Put that in your pipe. And the thing about it, too,
Speaker 1: is Kershaw saying it's selfish. That's another thing. In the
Speaker 1: old days, it was. It was something. It was a
Speaker 1: feather in the cap for starting pitchers to go all
Speaker 1: the way because you saved the bullpen. And one of
Speaker 1: the biggest problems with baseball today, and something that the
Speaker 1: geniuses that are running Major League Baseball have not figured out,
Speaker 1: is these teams burned through their bullpen. They usually relief
Speaker 1: pictures too much. There's a certain amount once the league
Speaker 1: season and they become less effective, and then at the
Speaker 1: trade deadline there's a mad dad has to get relief
Speaker 1: pitchers because you've burned through your bullpen and now you've
Speaker 1: got to bring relief pitchers in from somebody else, somebody
Speaker 1: else's team, and that it's it's trickled down because the
Speaker 1: starters don't go long in the game, they're not expected
Speaker 1: to go along in the game. They believe it's now
Speaker 1: just like the NBA players believe it's their birthright for
Speaker 1: load management starting pitchers. How how dare you? How dare
Speaker 1: you want me to to throw over eighty pitches? I mean,
Speaker 1: oh my god, who the hell? Stop? Stop moving on?
Speaker 1: Who else do we have? Here? A Radioactive Ryan in
Speaker 1: Salt Lake City, Utah, this podcast blowing up in He says, Hey,
Speaker 1: fifth hour, Fellas, I was wondering what your favorite underdog
Speaker 1: sports event is. I was too young to remember the
Speaker 1: Miracle on Ice, so I am going with the Giants
Speaker 1: spoiling the Patriots undefeated season. Please tell us your selection,
Speaker 1: f L Tube and screw Correa. So the one that
Speaker 1: pop into my head here Radioactive Bryan, involves the Patriots,
Speaker 1: but it was before the Patriots became good in the
Speaker 1: early days of Fox Sports Radio. To me, the greatest
Speaker 1: upset I had seen had been the Patriots with Tom
Speaker 1: Brady and nobody a backup, beating the greatest show on turf,
Speaker 1: the Mighty St. Louis Rams and Kurt Warner and all
Speaker 1: those Bazukas that the Rams had. The Rams were the
Speaker 1: baddest ass team in the NFL. And the fact that
Speaker 1: the Patriots, who had a water gun, knocked out a
Speaker 1: team that had seventeen Buzukas is stunning. So I have
Speaker 1: that Patriots, who were not at that point of dynasty
Speaker 1: by any means, beating the Rams, the greatest show on turf.
Speaker 1: What about you, Dan, anything pop into your head there? Yeah.
Speaker 1: The first thing that pops in my mind is when
Speaker 1: I was a kid watching the Tumbo on the floor.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Sonics? Was it the Sonics? They
Speaker 1: it was a Nuggets and the Sonics with a number
Speaker 1: one seed. I think, okay, I'll have to look that up.
Speaker 1: But Dad, that was a big underdog moment. And there's
Speaker 1: that great shot of him crying on the floor lifting
Speaker 1: the basketball up with both arms. Yeah, that that is
Speaker 1: that is great. I think it was Nuggets against George Carl,
Speaker 1: Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton in the SuperSonics. That's the memory
Speaker 1: I have in my head. And then the more recently
Speaker 1: those are old, and more recently would be the University
Speaker 1: of Maryland Baltimore beating Virginia first and only sixteen seed
Speaker 1: to bet the number one seed a Virginia was not
Speaker 1: like an all time great number one seed, but still
Speaker 1: you talk about a surprise motherfucker. That was one right there,
Speaker 1: that that was it. Absolutely Yeah. The Nuggets made NBA
Speaker 1: history with a shocking upset over the SuperSonics in the
Speaker 1: first round of the Western Conference playoffs thirty years The
Speaker 1: victory marked the first time a number eight seed at
Speaker 1: one a series against the number one seed in the
Speaker 1: NBA playoffs. And George Carl is going to the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame now the coach of that Sonics team. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Ozzy Momentum says a couple of questions, guys or lads
Speaker 1: as they say in Australia, who is your favorite movie
Speaker 1: assassin Spy John Wick, James Bond, Jason Bourne or Ethan Hunt.
Speaker 1: So I'm a traditional I'm gonna go with James Bond,
Speaker 1: who's been around, although the Bond franchise has taken a
Speaker 1: couple of turns here recently that I don't know that's right.
Speaker 1: I don't agree with it, but but overall, for a
Speaker 1: lifetime achievement, James bond uh And then I would have
Speaker 1: Jason Bourne on there. What what about you, Danny g Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I would go with Matt Damon in this
Speaker 1: spot the board identity. I kind of always liked that
Speaker 1: storyline where he didn't exactly remember or no why he
Speaker 1: was doing what he was doing, or how he got
Speaker 1: trained to be such a badass killer. That was always
Speaker 1: a nice element to that movie. Yeah. He also says
Speaker 1: who would win a fight? Ozzy Momentum of the Tasmanian
Speaker 1: Devil and Marvin the Marsha all right, so who would
Speaker 1: have a competitive advantage here? So that I think the
Speaker 1: Tasmanian Devil. In the name of the character it has devil,
Speaker 1: So I am going to go with the Tasmanian Devil
Speaker 1: over the iconic Marvin the Marshall. The speed and the
Speaker 1: verocity of the Tasmanian Devil would take out Marvin the Marshall.
Speaker 1: I was more concerned about him giving me a double fish.
Speaker 1: Mike from Fullerton says, what do you think is more impressive,
Speaker 1: the more impressive street the Clippers eleven straight winning seasons
Speaker 1: or the King's sixteen straight the sacrament Of Kings sixteen
Speaker 1: straight losing seasons. Well, this is easy, you understand. I
Speaker 1: was a Clipper guy when they would never make them.
Speaker 1: But they had the longest street. I think they ever
Speaker 1: made the playoffs in San Diego. They left Buffalo, had
Speaker 1: made the playoffs in Buffalo. Uh, And they went to Santigo,
Speaker 1: never made the playoffs, went to l A, never made
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They were the ones that had the record
Speaker 1: before the King. So the fact that the Clipper franchise
Speaker 1: came from Matt and now they are a playoff team
Speaker 1: just about every year, wrong, wrong again, it blows me away.
Speaker 1: The Clippers are every year they have a shot, they
Speaker 1: have a shot, they have a spin of the roulette wheel.
Speaker 1: And I know firsthand that if you suck at your job,
Speaker 1: the Sacramento Kings you it's it's actually not that hard
Speaker 1: to miss the playoffs if you don't know what you're
Speaker 1: doing year after year. So I it's become more difficult
Speaker 1: lately because of the playing tournament. You get a second chance,
Speaker 1: and there's ten teams that get in kind of. But
Speaker 1: now I'm gonna go with the Clippers. You got crickets,
Speaker 1: that's all we got. What is still wrong at the Clippers?
Speaker 1: How dare you? Danny g You get nothing, you lose.
Speaker 1: Travis in Roseberg, Oregon says, knowing your affinity for mascots
Speaker 1: is Dylan the Pickle your alter ego slash sight ego.
Speaker 1: I would love to meet Dylan the Pickle. And my
Speaker 1: wife has a friend that lives in Portland's one of
Speaker 1: her girlfriends, so I might I might have to make him.
Speaker 1: I was offered. I don't know if it was a
Speaker 1: fake offer. I was offered a chance to go out
Speaker 1: and throw out the first pitch of a pickle game,
Speaker 1: So I might have to take them up on that.
Speaker 1: If I end up in Portland, I have to look
Speaker 1: at their schedule and I can hang out with Dylan
Speaker 1: the Pickle. That'd be great. Uh, when you've got to
Speaker 1: travel a little bit with the Dodgers, did you ever
Speaker 1: have any run ins with the Philly fanatic? No, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm Billy Lemarlin Mr met Uh. Those mascots, Bernie Brewer,
Speaker 1: those are some of the ones I hung. I did
Speaker 1: not hang out the Philly f Fanattic is the gold standard,
Speaker 1: the greatest of all time, the goat, But I did
Speaker 1: not get to hang out with the Philly Fanatic. One
Speaker 1: of the coolest nights with mascots the Clippers when they
Speaker 1: unveiled Chuck the Condor, the great mascot Chuck the Condo.
Speaker 1: And so they had a mascot birthday celebrations. So they
Speaker 1: had the mascots of these other NBA teams and random
Speaker 1: teams that popped up. So I have photos with the
Speaker 1: Memphis Grizzlies mascot, the Sacramento Kings Lyon, like all these
Speaker 1: random masks. It was the funniest thing, Danny, because I'm
Speaker 1: walking around the bowels of Staples Center and these guys
Speaker 1: in these mascot costumes are sweating like pigs and these
Speaker 1: so they're on break in the back and I'm like, hey,
Speaker 1: can you put your help can you put your hat on?
Speaker 1: Because I want to take a photo? Uh and and
Speaker 1: so I got a bunch of a bunch of random
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Denver Nuggets, how about that time they're lying,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, that was great, was lowered down from the
Speaker 1: ceiling and fainted inside the costume. Yeah, dead corpse on
Speaker 1: the floor and the dancers still did their dance routine
Speaker 1: around the dead corpse. Yeah, yeah, it was. It was
Speaker 1: like out of a devil movie or something like that.
Speaker 1: Like the women, the beautiful young women are shaking their
Speaker 1: ass and and the mascot body is limp and it's
Speaker 1: it's being bot down. The music's playing, fireworks are going off.
Speaker 1: It's a great YouTube clip. Walky the Mountain Lion was dead.
Speaker 1: Just google. Oh, that was hilarious. That was an all timer.
Speaker 1: That was that's right up there. That's better than when
Speaker 1: the remember the Mariner moose got bitten by uh or no,
Speaker 1: broke his leg. We broke his leg? Was that the one?
Speaker 1: The guy in the ground screw in Seattle got bitten
Speaker 1: by something cat or something a feral cat. But the
Speaker 1: the mariner moves like broken leg. It's funny because when
Speaker 1: you when you're a mascot and you get hurt, people
Speaker 1: don't realize. They think it's an act. They don't think
Speaker 1: you're actually hurt. They're laughing. Yeah, they think the routine
Speaker 1: it's hilarious. That's funny. Our next one is from somebody
Speaker 1: I didn't send the name, says Ben Maller. H what
Speaker 1: the fs up, comrade? Do you think we need to
Speaker 1: limit the amount of money on American can have or make? No? No,
Speaker 1: I don't want somebody limiting how much I can make.
Speaker 1: I don't want to limit how much somebody else can make.
Speaker 1: I don't believe in that. And it's been proven in many,
Speaker 1: many countries over the years that have tried that it
Speaker 1: does not work. It's a bad road to go down.
Speaker 1: We talked about Nick Saban this week getting a monologue.
Speaker 1: Nick wants everyone at Alabama to get the same name
Speaker 1: image like this. That's a bad idea. It's a bad idea,
Speaker 1: and it's been proven in countries that have done that,
Speaker 1: they've had like a flat a flat rate salary, for example.
Speaker 1: What it leads to is corruption because the only way
Speaker 1: to get more money is to use corruption to get
Speaker 1: more money. It's political eruption is what always happens d
Speaker 1: percent of the time because the people are like, well,
Speaker 1: I need more money. I can't make more money because
Speaker 1: I'm capped out. Uh and and so you should make
Speaker 1: more depending on what you do and things. I have
Speaker 1: a big believe of that. Jennifer and Virginia writes in
Speaker 1: Oh she had I don't think this was for the air.
Speaker 1: She says, Uh, when I'm in Virginia, if we can
Speaker 1: do a Mallard meet and greet before you fly home,
Speaker 1: give me a tight schedule with the wife. Yeah, I'd
Speaker 1: like to make that happen, Jennifer. I was talking about
Speaker 1: just down from you in in the northern part of
Speaker 1: North Carolina, which is just below the Virginia boarder there
Speaker 1: doing something, but I have no where. I don't really
Speaker 1: know that area. I don't know any restaurants to go
Speaker 1: to anything like that. So I was asking some of
Speaker 1: our guys in North Carolina about that. I think I
Speaker 1: will have a car, a rental car, so I will
Speaker 1: be able to drive around a little bit, and I
Speaker 1: might want to get away for a couple of hours.
Speaker 1: The problem is, I'm out in the boondocks, and so
Speaker 1: if I spend three hours driving over to a big city,
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's gonna work because then I'll
Speaker 1: get in trouble because then it turns out to be
Speaker 1: like an eight hour trips. Three hours there, two hours
Speaker 1: at the event, and three hours in the way back.
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that because that's that is
Speaker 1: a recipe for Uh, exactly for marital strife is what
Speaker 1: that is a difficulty for Valls fan Jimmy says from
Speaker 1: Big Orange, Big Orange Country, He says, how old were
Speaker 1: you when you quit trick or treating? And what was
Speaker 1: your go to costume? I feel like we've been asked
Speaker 1: this before. I was somewhere around junior high school, I
Speaker 1: would say seventh grade, six or seventh grade, somewhere around there,
Speaker 1: and I had many different costumes. I had a variety
Speaker 1: of costumes depending on the year. My mom was very
Speaker 1: good was sewing, and she she showed me a clown costume,
Speaker 1: which was appropriate because I gotten rate you. One year
Speaker 1: I was a bum honoring weed man, even though I
Speaker 1: didn't know it as a police officer, when a little good.
Speaker 1: All kinds of random stuff. What I what about you, Danny, Well,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you the one costume that I waited and
Speaker 1: waited on forever. My grandmother promised me when I was
Speaker 1: in kindergarten that she was gonna sew a spiky costume
Speaker 1: together for me Man spider Man dud. She never did.
Speaker 1: She never did every year, every year with her damn
Speaker 1: sewing machine, which was basically her version of a treadmill
Speaker 1: that was a clothes holder. Yeah, she just threw stuff
Speaker 1: on top of her sewing table. She never made anything, though.
Speaker 1: She tortured me and my older brother by dragging us
Speaker 1: into those stupid stores that sell patterns and yarn and
Speaker 1: all that crap. We wanted to kill ourselves, shoot ourselves
Speaker 1: in the head with a nail gun anytime she took
Speaker 1: us into those stores. It's not a place for kids.
Speaker 1: That's you know, no kid wants to go to a
Speaker 1: store like that. Yeah, let's go look at patterns kids
Speaker 1: for things I'm never gonna sew. Yeah, make it stop,
Speaker 1: Make it stop. There, you stop. That's the one costume
Speaker 1: I wanted as a little kid that I never got.
Speaker 1: So instead, I remember my mom dressed me up as
Speaker 1: a gingerbread man. A gingerbread man. Yeah, and I'm like why,
Speaker 1: Like it's easy because it sucks. What's your problem? So
Speaker 1: all the other kids can point at you and say,
Speaker 1: look at that loser. It goes to gingerbread man. Thanks,
Speaker 1: we shock again. All right, We'll end on that note.
