He's the last remnants 0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:12.640 of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:15.680 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:19.600 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow, it's a clearinghouse 0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:23.360 of hot takes. Break free for something special. The Fifth 0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:29.400 Hour with Ben Mallard starts right now in. 0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:36.120 The airmywhere the Fifth Hour with me, Ben Mallor and 0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:43.640 Danny g Radio As we are together TGIF a happy Friday. 0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:46.960 It's early in the morning. I have been awake for 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:49.920 a very long time. I'm not complaining, that is not 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:53.880 a complaint. But we are together here on this Friday, 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:58.600 the eighteenth day of October, and oh what a day 0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:03.000 it is. Got Dodger and Mets this afternoon. I'm gonna 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.560 get a few hours of sleep after I do this podcast, 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:09.399 and then I will be back away to watch the 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:15.160 Doyers eliminate the Mets from the National League Championship Series. 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:17.800 Unless they don't, but I believe they will. Today will 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:21.279 be an elimination day. The Dodgers are so much better 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:25.240 than the Mets. This is one of the great domination situations. 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:29.160 Not a sweep, not a sweep, but a domination situation 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:35.000 for sure. And we celebrate today not only the Dodgers 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.440 and the Mets, and then the Yankees and the team 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.280 that used to be called the Cleveland Indians. But it 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:44.360 is National Chocolate cup Cupcake Day. 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:45.880 That's right now. 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:50.640 I love cupcase. I'm not a huge chocolate cupcake person. 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:54.320 I don't mind it. It's not something I will go 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.640 out of my way to get. There's all kinds of 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:01.240 there's National Cupcake Day, which is a different day, not 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:04.520 to be confused with National Hot Chocolate Day or National 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.520 Chocolate Cake Day. Those are all separate days. This is 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:12.520 National Chocolate chip Cupcake Day, which, if you look at 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:17.040 the history here, the chocolate cupcakes made their first written, 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:21.880 written debut in American culture. The first cookbook to write 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:28.520 that in America was written in seventeen ninety six. It 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:32.080 was called American Cookery, and it featured a bunch of 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:36.320 different recipes, obviously, and one of them was a chocolate cupcake. 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:41.040 So if you're interested in that kind of thing, congratulations. 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:45.320 Going back to the seventeen hundreds, people in America have 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:50.919 been eating chocolate cupcakes. It's also National Mashed Potatoes Day. 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:51.240 Now. 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:54.920 When I was a kid, my mom would make a 0:02:54.960 --> 0:03:00.000 lot of meals where the side dish was peas, canned peas, 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:03.280 throwing a lot of mashed potato dishes. And I liked 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:04.040 mashed potatoes. 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:04.280 I did. 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:08.840 They were not exotic mashed potatoes. I enjoyed them, and 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:10.880 then as I got older, I realized, well, that's kind 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.120 of a cheap food, and that's one of the reasons. 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.280 The stuff I ate as a kid, like frozen fish sticks, 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:21.640 things like that, a lot of stuff that was easily 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:27.519 available and didn't cost all that much. But today's National 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.799 Mashed Potatoes Day. They say the human beings have been 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:37.800 growing potatoes going as far back as eight thousand BC. Yeah, 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:41.040 eight thousand BC. I don't know what they did before that. 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:47.160 And they claim that remains were found in central Peru. 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.240 We do not do shout outs on the podcast, so 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:53.200 I cannot shout out inker terror, but they have found 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.720 a bunch of remnants of that, and potatoes appear all 0:03:56.760 --> 0:04:01.880 over the place. The mashed potato though spread throughout the 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:05.360 northern colonies, it wasn't until Thomas Jefferson of all people 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:09.720 served the potato to guess at the White House. 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:10.280 That was an. 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:15.040 Eighteen oh two. And then after that they had a 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.480 bunch of Irish immigrants that came to America and they 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:21.440 brought their culture to America and their love of the potato, 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:26.120 and we had potatoes reach outer space. In the nineties, 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:30.960 the University of Wisconsin and NASA got together and they 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:35.560 put the potato as the first ever vegetable grown in space. 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:40.640 The potato potato isn't that wonderful in that grade? Yeah, 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:44.880 so celebrate appropriately. It is National mashed Potato Day. There's 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:46.479 also some birthdays today. 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:47.680 One of them. 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:50.000 And I look at these names and I get these 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:52.039 lists and I'm like, all right, what I list radio 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:53.200 we're podcasting. 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:53.960 But I looked at it. 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.400 I said, well, that name rings a bell. I said, 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:58.800 we almost had that guy on the podcast. And that 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.919 would be none other than the legendary coach of the 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:08.520 Chicago Bears back in the day, Iron Mike Ditka, who 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:12.400 if you've listened to this podcast, you know that we 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.680 attempted to get Mike Ditka on the podcast. Mike is 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:19.640 getting up there. He was born in nineteen thirty nine. 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:24.160 Long run as an NFL player. I knew him as 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.159 the coach of the Bears when I was a kid, 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:30.440 and a long career as a TV guy, Iron Mike 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:35.800 Tyson and the pride of Pennsylvania Steel tough right, Pennsylvania football. 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:41.480 He just oozed Pennsylvania football. Mike Ditka tried to get 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.719 him on the podcast. A buddy of mine had a number, 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:46.720 so I gave him a couple of texts, give him 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.680 a couple of calls. He didn't answer his phone, and 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.400 he didn't respond to the text and actually heard I 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:57.159 don't know this firsthand, but somebody that knows more about 0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.200 the situation than me said that Mike has been in 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:04.720 very poor health the last couple of years, so I 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:06.599 don't know if that's true or not. I know he 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.080 has not been seen out in public very much. Last 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.919 time he was seen it was on the internet. It 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:15.680 was kind of disheveled and wasn't doing all that well. 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.760 So hopefully things have gotten better from Mike Ditka, who 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:23.120 was a one of the great characters in NFL history 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:27.440 in his day and in many ways part of my youth. 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.280 How I wasn't a Bears fan. I did like refrigerator 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.880 Perry because he was fat for the mid eighties bears, 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.080 and you know, I was right in my wheelhouse. But 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.280 Mike Ditka the character that he was, and that was 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:42.240 an era where you had bigger than life personalities who 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:47.240 were coaches. It wasn't like today, Hey Boomer. But you 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:50.120 guys know, listen, Yeah, people that listen to spots down 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:52.000 on how old you are, where your background is, but 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:54.320 it doesn't matter, right. 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:57.640 And here's why. If you look back at. 0:06:57.839 --> 0:06:59.160 What it was and what it is now, it's so 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:04.839 corporate and everyone's offended about everything these days, and coaches 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:09.680 talking coach speak. Not that they didn't do that back 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:13.200 in the day, it's just a different animal at this 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.000 particular point. So on this podcast, we'll bounce around a 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:17.960 little bit. There's a few things that I wanted to 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:22.679 share with you on this fifth hour edition The Big News, 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.120 and I teased this on the radio show, and I 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:30.400 promised you, I said, listen, download the FM podcast and 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.800 you're going to get all the inside information, none of 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.480 that artsy fartsy bowl crap. Everything will be delivered right 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:40.720 to your ear drums, And here we are a very 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:41.760 exciting announcement. 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:43.680 I teased this a couple of weeks back. I've been 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:44.960 working on this for some time. 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.600 Finally got all the tea's crossed and the eyes died, 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:53.000 dotted dotted. That would be the word Heartland ho Down. 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:56.640 Big announcement, Big Announcement two point zero. I actually talked 0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:02.120 about this originally back on Thursday, equally appearance on the 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:07.960 radio on the fan in Cana City. But assuming you 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.440 didn't drop your entire life to listen to me wax 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:14.600 poetic with my friend Bob, who does radio in Kansas City. 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:19.680 I am very excited to let you know about a 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.720 pop up Malard meet and greet. We're headed to the 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:28.240 Great Midwest, the mecca of the National foot Ball League. 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:29.360 How do you do? 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.280 And I'm going to get a chance to witness the 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:36.199 modern day pig skin dynasty. 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:38.280 Say what it is? 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:42.160 The final Malar Meet and Greet of twenty twenty four. 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:47.120 We're calling it the Heartland Heartland Hodown for now and 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:48.800 maybe we'll change the name, maybe not.

Some of 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.320 you reached out to me via email said you're planning 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:57.559 on attending, whether you actually do or not. As I 0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:59.720 always say with these things, I have no idea. 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:00.760 I'll be there. 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:04.839 Hopefully you can show up. I take the people that 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:09.199 are SVP. I appreciate you doing that, but I also 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:13.160 realize that things pop up in life and you might 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.240 not be able to attend. I would love for you 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.480 to be there. It would be awesome. But here are 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.440 the basics, the who, what, where, when, why and how? 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:24.120 The who that would be me, not the band, me 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:28.839 Ben Hi, my friend Bob Fesco. I believe that his 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:33.479 partner on his radio show, Dusty his guy, will be there. Unfortunately, 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:35.679 this is just a malor meet and great. It is 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:40.920 not an Eddie soire Coop will not be there, Lorena 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:42.679 will not will not be there. 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:43.559 Just me. 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:47.800 You're just stuck with my fat ass and what is it? 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.680 It is a chance for malad militia pee wance. 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:51.760 That would be you. 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:54.400 That would be if you're listening to this podcast, that 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:58.040 would be you. And if you're in reasonable driving distance now, 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:01.960 Kansas City is centrally oh kid. One of the cool 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:03.680 things about Kansy and I have a lot of friends 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:05.839 that live there, and you guys that live there know this, 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:09.120 is that you can go pretty much anywhere in a 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:10.280 very short amount of time. 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.640 In the middle of the country. So it's a really 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:13.160 cool thing. 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:16.520 So if you're in the area and you're thinking about 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:18.160 doing it, maybe you've attended one of these things in 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:18.559 the past. 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:20.200 And when we did in Minnesota or. 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:25.280 Appleton, Wisconsin or wherever, we don't do very many, and 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:28.199 this was one that was not playing. But we're doing it, 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:29.920 and I'm very excited. 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:31.240 I'll be there. 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:34.079 Bob Fesco will be there with his listeners, so we're 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:37.240 going to combine the Malad militia and my got Bob. 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:38.319 Will be there. I don't know that again, I don't 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.080 know if Dusky's going to be there. Where's it going 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:44.120 to take place? At the Landing in Liberty, Missouri. 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:47.360 Now, Michael, the man behind the Landing, one of the 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:51.439 big guys there that runs that fine restaurant, help make 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:55.520 this happen, so I want to thank him. And when 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:58.080 is it going to take place? Well, this is very important. 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.520 We're not that far away. We're in the eighteenth of 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:05.040 October right now. It's going to happen November ninth, Saturday, 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.920 November ninth. Jot that down, put that in your phone, 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:13.640 Save that date November ninth. Now, when what time that 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.760 has yet to be determined. We're still negotiating when we 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.760 want to do it, When can we get the biggest crowd. 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:24.960 It'll likely be sometime in the afternoon or early evening, 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:31.040 most likely most likely afternoon early evening at the latest. 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:34.079 And why are we doing it? Or we're doing it? 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:38.280 First of all, to support a restaurant that has been 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:43.840 very good to me over the years, A mom and pop, 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:49.280 not some big conglomerate restaurant, a locally owned restaurant, The 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:52.880 Landing in Liberty, Missouri, which is not that far away 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:54.679 from Arrowhead and not that far away you know the 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:57.480 complex there were the royals and the chiefs play and 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:01.040 we're going to hang out, just enjoy some great food 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:07.319 at the Landing Midwestern hospitality, and consume massive amounts of 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:16.680 the ben malor chicken fingers and hidden ranch. How dare you, Danny, 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:19.720 how we're going to do all this? You ask, well, 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.480 how we are going to do this? That would be planes, trains, 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:27.920 and automobiles, probably no trains, more planes and automobiles, and 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:33.199 also hotels. This is not a Fox Sports Radio event. 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:34.760 They had nothing to do with this. This is just 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:39.080 our friends at the fan in Kansas City. The New 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:43.599 FM blow Torch along with the Landing in Liberty and 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:49.080 so fired up again. November ninth saved that date. I'd 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:51.360 love to see it. We did one of these in 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:54.000 Kansas City. The restaurant the Landing used to be called 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:58.600 the Brooksider, and we went there. That was a different 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:01.560 restaurant before I was even married. Been married a long time, 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:06.679 so it's been a while. We're going back and I'm 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:07.320 fired up. 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:08.120 I can't wait. 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:11.800 We had a great time in Kansas City and I'm 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:15.120 looking forward to checking everything out and saying hello to 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:16.520 a lot of people that I haven't seen in a 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:17.040 long time. 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.400 And forget about Taylor swept right. I. 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:25.000 I have been invited to attend the Chiefs and the 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:30.160 Broncos game on that Sunday. I think it's November tenth, 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:34.319 I believe is the date on that at Arrowhead Stadium 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:36.439 against the Broncos. 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.079 I have never been to a game at Arrowhead. 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.199 That game is actually going to be, based on what 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:47.840 we've seen so far, an important matchup in the NFL. 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.240 I've been putting this together with our friends in Kansas City, 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:53.280 and originally there were some things that came up that 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:54.360 kind of delayed everything. 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:56.439 But originally I was like, well, that's not going to 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.120 be that good a game. The Broncos are going to 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:02.280 be terrible. I was like, oh, come on, they're brutal 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:05.800 blah blah blah blah blah. Well it turns out no, 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:09.000 they'll be actually pretty good. At least at this point. 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:09.680 They're pretty good. 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:13.960 And the Broncos, who won last night in a rat 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:18.040 kill situation, they will take on the Chiefs. Chiefs undefeated. 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:21.160 They play the Niners on Sunday. Broncos are four and three. 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:25.200 They should get to at least five and three, probably 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:30.400 be five and four, likely five and four before they 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.000 play the Chiefs because they got the Ravens at Baltimore. 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:36.560 After they play Carolina next week on October or their 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:40.040 next game is October twenty seventh, so obviously a little 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:42.600 time after they played on Thursday. So that is what's 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:47.880 up ahead for the Heartland Hodown. As far as the 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.400 TV show, yeah, there's a TV show. 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:53.600 I normally you bear the lead by man, don't bear 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:55.000 the lead, all right, I bury the lead. 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:59.480 I realize that, but it is another weekend of Benny 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:03.640 versus the Penny. I am so happy to have this. 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:08.120 I'm so excited. It's awesome and I'm really fired up. 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:10.160 You guys have been sending me emails every week. I 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:12.640 get new messages from people that listen to this podcasts, 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:17.240 that are listening to this show, but also sending me 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:22.480 photos from different places they're watching the TV show, whether 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:27.680 it be your lake house, whether it be I don't know. 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:30.160 We had one guy from a sports bar, which was 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:33.600 kind of cool, all kinds of but normally at your house. 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.160 But the show is on elsewhere obviously where we have 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:39.720 a TV and all that, so it's great. I'm very 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:42.800 proud of this week's episode, week seven of Benny Versus 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:45.840 the Penny, and the people at NBC have been great. 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:52.040 We had a little bit of a microphone snaffu, if 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:55.920 you will, last week. There were some technical issues the 0:15:56.080 --> 0:16:02.560 type of microphone, and they immediately the circled the wagons. 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.840 They're like, hey, listen, we're going to fix this. And 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:10.000 it's so much different than the radio world. In television, 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:16.280 when something goes haywire, there is an army of people 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.800 that run to make sure that problem never happens again. 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:21.640 And I'm not exaggerating. 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.760 There were a bunch of people, a team of people 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:30.320 in Boston and in LA We do the show from 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:34.760 Universal Studios in Hollywood, who were working to try to 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:38.280 ratify the situation or rectify the situation, i should say, 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:43.760 And they determined that the type of microphone because of 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:45.840 the studio setup that we have. We do the show 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.400 in a studio with the green screen and the way 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:50.640 it's set up and the size of the room and 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:52.720 all this stuff and the way I talk and the 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:56.400 way Looney talks, and the only thing that we needed 0:16:56.560 --> 0:17:00.520 a special type of microphone special time. 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:01.760 So they went out and bought a. 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:04.520 Different microphone and they shipped it and there were people 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:06.720 testing it, and then we got in there. 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.239 We had to test it and the whole thing. 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:12.600 But that was good and the show will debut normal 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:14.359 timeslot today. 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:16.080 We'll see how what happens going forward. 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:21.080 The NBA season begins next week, so we might be 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:24.600 bumped out of our normal timeslot depending on the schedule. 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:30.960 But this week today on our debut on NBC Sports Boston. 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:35.480 The show will air tonight at six o'clock. It's a 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:39.040 great time slot. Fired up. They trusted the show enough 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:41.239 to put us on NBC Sports Boston six o'clock right 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:45.800 after Felger and Maz the simulcast of the most popular 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:50.200 radio show in Boston. That show goes till six and 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:54.080 then we pop on with Penny Versus the Penny, and 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:57.520 then the Celtics will start playing some real games next week. 0:17:57.600 --> 0:17:58.680 So that is our debut. 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:01.159 The show is produced out of NBA Sports Boston, so 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:04.480 that is an important and important. 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:06.680 Show for us in Boston. 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:10.160 It will also be on various other regional cable channels 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:12.840 throughout the country today. 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:13.960 Check your local listenings. 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:18.320 For example, in Philadelphia, we will be on at six 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:23.920 thirty six point thirty airing tonight in Philly, and that's 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:30.000 right after Birds Huddle inside Egle Information and then you 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:33.720 got us on NBC Sports Philadelphia. And if you're happy 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:37.080 you've happened to be in the Bay Area, don't forget 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:41.399 that you can also get your hands on this show 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:45.879 NBC Sports Bay Area all over the place. There several 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:48.879 airings today tomorrow, the whole thing. We're on in La 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:52.160 tomorrow later on today, and I'm not sure exactly when 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:56.800 this drops. Some of you have complained I tried to 0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:59.720 find the new episode and I couldn't find it. 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:01.320 Well, you got to wait a little bit. 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:05.800 I'm talking about Peacock now. I got several messages this 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:08.320 morning after the radio show I did last night. They 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:10.800 were like, Oh, I loved your peacock impersonation. You should 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:12.240 do that on the podcast. No, that's only for the 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:14.200 radio show. I'm not gonna do the Peacock impersonation here, 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:19.560 but please, it's Availa everywhere. You guys complain, Oh it's 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:22.320 not right, I can't get the show. You got to 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:24.520 make the show available. Okay, So we made the show available. 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:28.560 I complained to the people at NBC. They heard me 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:34.159 complain as a conduit, as a middleman between you and 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:37.359 these big executives, and they put it on Peacock. So 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:40.840 it's on everywhere, and that's a very important place for us. 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:43.280 Right everyone's going to streaming, you know a lot of 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:46.040 places and all that. So it's important the show does 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:48.679 well and we want to make the show even bigger 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:51.200 and better. We have other ideas, we want to expand things, 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:54.240 and so for that to happen, in order for us 0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:56.680 to continue on, we need you to watch the show. 0:19:57.240 --> 0:19:59.399 And you've been doing a hell of a job. I 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:01.159 just want you to keep it going. And if you 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:03.440 happen to have some people in your life that also 0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:06.600 have Peacock and they would watch it. That would help 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:09.240 us out a lot. I would like them to enjoy 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:12.760 the show. But as I've said in previous episodes on 0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:17.760 the fifth hour, you know my position. I've met a 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:20.840 number of people in my wife's family or circle of 0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:21.680 friends who are. 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:24.320 Not sports people. They don't get it. They're not like us. 0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:27.280 They're not sports people, and they know I do the show, 0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:29.160 and so they'll bring it up in small talk, which 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:29.560 I don't like. 0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:31.199 I don't like small talk anyway, but. 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:33.920 I'll try to engage and I'll always say I said, listen, 0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:37.040 you know, if you don't like football, I get it. 0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:40.240 If you're not a gambler, I understand. If you look 0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:42.880 at football the way our friend Lorena looks at football, 0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:44.920 where you don't know if it's stuffed or puffed. 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:46.680 That's fine. I'm okay with that. 0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:51.080 All I need is you to click on Peacock, make 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:56.360 sure you subscribe, click on it, and then you say 0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:59.760 you have to do the dishes, or maybe you're taking 0:20:59.800 --> 0:21:04.720 a sh shower, you got some work around the house, laundry, Okay, 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:08.159 you hit the play button On the newest episode of 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:11.000 Benny versus the penny. If you walk out of the room, 0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:12.920 I don't know whether you're watching. I don't know whether 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:15.520 you're watching. I'd like you to watch, but we get 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:19.160 credit for it. I know Alf has been amazing. Alf 0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:23.040 has kicked ass here, He's draging other people into this masshole. 0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:25.800 Mickey also outstanding. 0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:29.879 So I really do appreciate the support you guys have 0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:33.920 gone above and beyond the call of duty. I'm sure John, 0:21:34.000 --> 0:21:37.160 our newest sworn in member of the Mala Militia from Phoenix, 0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:40.680 he's watching the show as well, So thank you all. 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:45.200 All of you guys have been just amazing and really 0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:46.960 excited about the way the show is. 0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:48.960 I want to make it even better. If you have 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:52.840 any suggestions on how we can improve the show, go, 0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:56.200 It's only a half hour show. We have the phrase 0:21:56.840 --> 0:22:00.439 of the week. Are you ready for the phrase? All 0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:00.760 the way? 0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:04.879 Yes you are now. This is from listener Scott. Not 0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:07.880 to be confused with Blind Scott, because that's somebody else. 0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:12.320 This is Scott from the nine to one seven New 0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:16.399 York U nine one seven area code. He says a 0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:18.560 blowing He wants to know the phrase of the week 0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:22.600 this week. Blowing smoke up your ass. He said, where 0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:25.800 did that come from? So initially I thought, well, maybe 0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:27.960 this is a gag, maybe this is somebody that just 0:22:28.400 --> 0:22:32.119 effing around, But no, he seemed to want to know this, 0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:36.320 and I was blown away. I did not even anticipate, 0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:37.960
