Speaker 1: Kabooms. If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred
Speaker 1: minutes a week was enough, think again. He's the last
Speaker 1: remnants of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness.
Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as
Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow. It's a
Speaker 1: clearinghouse of hot takes. Break free for something special. The
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now, nine in
Speaker 1: the air. Everywhere. The Fifth Hour main bang, hanging out,
Speaker 1: blabbing away all weekend long, because four hours a night
Speaker 1: or not at off we do eight days a week,
Speaker 1: eight days a week. We are hanging out with you
Speaker 1: here in the audio dojo, and it's a big Sunday extravagance.
Speaker 1: We've got the mail bag. But before we get to
Speaker 1: the mail bag, originally I think we're gonna do this
Speaker 1: on Friday, and then we're gonna do on a set today,
Speaker 1: and we've got to do it right now. We need
Speaker 1: to get scientifical, is what we need to do, and
Speaker 1: time shifted it for ratings purposes exactly exactly. So let's
Speaker 1: get into the science world. These are actual stories that
Speaker 1: cut our attention and in honor of Penn and Teller,
Speaker 1: these old comedians who used to have a TV show
Speaker 1: that was called Bullshit. We will determine whether we believe
Speaker 1: this stuff or we think it's bullshit. Here's a story
Speaker 1: that was sent in by Alf the Alien opiner from Springfield,
Speaker 1: mass says, the dogs of Chernobyl are experiencing rapid evolution
Speaker 1: according to or the henines have acquired big subheadline strange
Speaker 1: mutations because they live near Chernobyl. And so the studies
Speaker 1: people have been science has been there trying to study
Speaker 1: all these things. A new study analyzed the DNA of
Speaker 1: three hundred two feral dogs living near the power plant,
Speaker 1: compared the animals to others living ten miles away and
Speaker 1: found amazing differences. And so the study does not prove
Speaker 1: that radiation is the cause of these things, but it provides,
Speaker 1: they say, the first step in analyzing what's going on.
Speaker 1: So this Chernobyl thing all the way back to nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty six, when that happened April of nineteen eighty six
Speaker 1: and the meltdown and all that happened there, and here
Speaker 1: we are forty almost forty years later, and they're still
Speaker 1: figuring out what's going on. Nobody can live in that area.
Speaker 1: It's all messed up. But they've got feral dogs, a
Speaker 1: bunch of other animals. These are the descendants of pets
Speaker 1: left behind when everyone was trying to get out of
Speaker 1: Chernobyl because the thing exploded and all that, and so
Speaker 1: they went through us in the they're in the Chernobyl
Speaker 1: exclusion zone. They say it's the size of Yosemite National Park.
Speaker 1: And it's all about trying to figure out the what
Speaker 1: happens when you're exposed to radiation, how it has altered
Speaker 1: the DNA of these animals. And they say, even speeding
Speaker 1: up evolution, is that a bad thing or a good thing?
Speaker 1: Maybe that's a good thing. That could be a good thing, right.
Speaker 1: Maybe it sounds creepy, Yeah, it does, it does it?
Speaker 1: As they started examining the DNA three hunder two feral
Speaker 1: dogs found around that area, and the New York Times
Speaker 1: had a story on this. They dug into it, and
Speaker 1: they're trying to figure out exactly what's going on. They've
Speaker 1: been analyzing all kinds of animals. They're including rodents, birds
Speaker 1: and whatnot, but this is focusing on dogs. And from
Speaker 1: the sounds of this, it sounds like they think that
Speaker 1: the as I said, the mutations are taking place. Things
Speaker 1: are being sped up that aren't supposed to be sped up,
Speaker 1: or maybe they are supposed to be sped up and
Speaker 1: we don't know about it. Well, that's interesting. Next up
Speaker 1: from the from the ocean, the Immortal jellyfish. They found
Speaker 1: scientists that found a jellyfish they claim that can practically
Speaker 1: turn back time. They're they're saying that they're going to
Speaker 1: use what this jellyfish does and they hope to bring
Speaker 1: this to the human world and that will benefit from this.
Speaker 1: Of course, chances of that happening are slim and none.
Speaker 1: But these these jellyfish, they do not die a natural
Speaker 1: death they age, but instead they return to infancy. So
Speaker 1: instead of dying, they just returned infancy. How crazy is that?
Speaker 1: Like Benjamin Button, Yeah, they're trying to figure out how
Speaker 1: they do that. It was an interesting story I checked out,
Speaker 1: so if you're interesting that you can you can check
Speaker 1: it out. And there's a bunch of stories on science
Speaker 1: platforms about aging. Can humans stop the aging process? They
Speaker 1: there's one report that says humans can stop but not
Speaker 1: fully reverse aging. So there's there's that report, and then
Speaker 1: there's another report that says that you know, by twenty
Speaker 1: thirty you'll be able to to create like an an
Speaker 1: avatar of yourself, And so some wild tales out there
Speaker 1: in the science world. I think we'll leave that alone.
Speaker 1: There were some other stories, but I want to get
Speaker 1: to the mailbag. Danny g Let's do it. That's what
Speaker 1: Sundays are famous for. It's okay, Ohio, al thank you
Speaker 1: yet again? First up on the mailback, Mike in Fullerton
Speaker 1: rights and he says, Hey, Bannon, Danny Gee, I have
Speaker 1: a few questions on radio caller etiquette. He says, Is
Speaker 1: it more annoying for a caller to talk over you
Speaker 1: or leave dead air? With slow responses? He says, even
Speaker 1: though you always have a snarky response, ready, would you
Speaker 1: be fine with never being asked? How are you doing? Ever? Again?
Speaker 1: Is that worst way to start a call? So I
Speaker 1: answer that one first. It is a terrible way to
Speaker 1: start a call. But it's what everyone does. Everyone does.
Speaker 1: They all do this. It's like how you doing? It's
Speaker 1: like you don't know what to do and you get nervous,
Speaker 1: and so it's a natural reaction. And it's like why
Speaker 1: we say the word hello? They could have we talked
Speaker 1: about this on the podcast. I don't know, maybe with you, Danny.
Speaker 1: I don't maybe before you were on the podcast. But originally,
Speaker 1: when the phone was invented, they had to come up
Speaker 1: with a way so somebody on the other line when
Speaker 1: you called somebody and you were talking, what the introduction
Speaker 1: would be, and they decided on hello. The other option
Speaker 1: was a hoy. They were considering saying a hoy yeah,
Speaker 1: and that was under consideration. It is an awkward thing,
Speaker 1: and I get asked more on the radio how am
Speaker 1: I doing than anywhere else in life. Do you get
Speaker 1: asked anywhere else, Danny, how are you doing today? No?
Speaker 1: I mean because customer service is pretty shitty nowadays at stores,
Speaker 1: at restaurants ever since COVID. It seems like so we
Speaker 1: don't really hear that that often the one thing that's
Speaker 1: a pet peeve is and not. This doesn't really apply
Speaker 1: to your show because a lot of your callers are
Speaker 1: regular callers that everybody knows. But on like Covino and Rich,
Speaker 1: where it's random callers from different cities, I'll scream the call.
Speaker 1: Ramos has it pretty loud in the studio. So I'm
Speaker 1: doing the very best I can to hear the caller,
Speaker 1: but I type it as Tom in Arkansas, and when
Speaker 1: he gets on the air, he corrects the hosts and
Speaker 1: he's like, it's Tom, not Tom. Yeah, your name could
Speaker 1: be fruit loop. It doesn't matter. To the point, Well,
Speaker 1: to that person, the sweetest sound in the language is
Speaker 1: the name of you know, their voice, the name I
Speaker 1: should say in your voice and whatever. But I know
Speaker 1: I get another pet peeve of caller etiquette for Mike
Speaker 1: and fuller to no relation to furg dog at all,
Speaker 1: no relation to furg dog at all. Another pet peeve
Speaker 1: is I was talking to your screener. That is That
Speaker 1: is a pippie because the magic, part of the magic
Speaker 1: of radio is that it's that's the conversation. No one
Speaker 1: knows what happens off the air. So if you're referencing
Speaker 1: I was talking to your screener, that's that's that's not
Speaker 1: to me, that's a pain in the in the behind,
Speaker 1: because you're like, you're ruining the whole magic. Nobody heard that.
Speaker 1: That's a private conversation. You don't need to share every
Speaker 1: private conversation, understand you know what I mean? Danny, And
Speaker 1: let me preface this by saying, I love the callers
Speaker 1: that participate in the topics, but don't tell me your
Speaker 1: whole story. To your point, Ben, save it for on air.
Speaker 1: That's something we tell each other a lot in the hallways.
Speaker 1: When we start laughing about something, you'll hear someone say
Speaker 1: save it for on air, save it, save it for
Speaker 1: on air. And when I screen the calls, I'll say,
Speaker 1: what's your name, what's your city? Thank you for calling?
Speaker 1: Which topic are you calling in about? And that's all
Speaker 1: you gotta answer. It's just, Oh, I'm calling about the
Speaker 1: Costco clothes you guys were talking about. Okay, great, And
Speaker 1: I type that in on the screen so the guys
Speaker 1: can see what you're calling about. But what I get is, well,
Speaker 1: you guys were talking about Costco clothes. And let me
Speaker 1: tell you. You know, when I go there with my
Speaker 1: wife and I'm sitting there and there's no nice way
Speaker 1: for me to interrupt and get off that line, but
Speaker 1: all the other lines are ringing, and it's like that
Speaker 1: scene in Jerry McGuire where all the other lines start
Speaker 1: disappearing because he's on the one call. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: hear yeah, it's save it for on air. You're like
Speaker 1: trying to herd cats or something like that when you're
Speaker 1: you're doing that with the phones. And Mike also says,
Speaker 1: what do you both think is the most common reason
Speaker 1: you'd say a call was a bad call? All of
Speaker 1: the above everything we've talked about two And to go
Speaker 1: back to the first point you the first question you asked, Mike,
Speaker 1: I would much rather have someone talk over me than
Speaker 1: be half half there where they're not even paying attention.
Speaker 1: That's that's bad. That's I'd rather have you sleeping where
Speaker 1: I can hear you snore than where you're you're kind
Speaker 1: of there but you're not really there, or you're you're
Speaker 1: having a conversation with someone else. That's also a paint
Speaker 1: in the behind, or any of the slow responses and
Speaker 1: all that. Next up on the mailback, John in Northern
Speaker 1: Colorado says, do you guys ever argue with your lady
Speaker 1: over the proper loading of the dishwasher? Yeah? So, we
Speaker 1: we have discussed this in the past as things go
Speaker 1: flying here in the studio, but we have discussed in
Speaker 1: the past. I am the dishwasher at the mallor mansion,
Speaker 1: and I handle that my my wife. The reason I'm
Speaker 1: the dishwasher is my wife used to be the dishwasher
Speaker 1: and the food would It was insane how much food
Speaker 1: was at the bottom of the dishwasher. And so I
Speaker 1: decided I made an executive decision because it was one
Speaker 1: of the most disgusting things I'd ever seen, because my
Speaker 1: wife thought it was like out of the jetsins or something.
Speaker 1: You just put it in there and it cleans everything
Speaker 1: and you don't have to wash off the dishes at all,
Speaker 1: and it was really bad. They were like peas and
Speaker 1: macaroni and spaghetti at the bottom of the dishwasher. Was disgusting.
Speaker 1: Good now that, yeah, that's gross. I mean the dishwasher
Speaker 1: is basically just to polish off the job. You are
Speaker 1: supposed to clean the dishes yourself and then put them
Speaker 1: in there so when I load the dishwasher there is
Speaker 1: no food evidence whatsoever. Yeah, it's a sanitized thing. The
Speaker 1: dishwasher is really hot sanitizes, but you got to wash
Speaker 1: it before and yeah, you're exactly, it's like the final
Speaker 1: the final push. Next up on the mail bag Frank
Speaker 1: Rights and from part zon on he says, what's the
Speaker 1: best or doors or doors orders and that you've had
Speaker 1: it a mine was grilled cheese with shots of tomatoes
Speaker 1: soup at my cousin's wedding. Wow, that sounds good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that is pretty good. I've had some decent wedding appetizers.
Speaker 1: I love those little mini tacos. Those mini takidos are
Speaker 1: pretty good. About the little pigs in a blanket not bad,
Speaker 1: not bad. Mini corn dogs which is the pick corn
Speaker 1: on the top, that's not bad at all. I like
Speaker 1: that Terryoki on a stick, Teryoki all piece of teryoki,
Speaker 1: chicken on the sticks to go to. I don't mind that.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think those are usually the go to Eddie.
Speaker 1: When Eddie got married, he made sure my meal was
Speaker 1: chicken fingers, which was very nice because he knew I
Speaker 1: didn't want to eat wedding food like that rubber chicken.
Speaker 1: At the wedding his wife, Karen and Eddie they made
Speaker 1: sure that I had the kid's menu, but I had
Speaker 1: an adult portion. My lips have been on it, so
Speaker 1: that was that was pretty nice. Thanks for that, Frank
Speaker 1: Nick in Wisconsin right since its banning Danny Gee, if
Speaker 1: you have your choice, are you choosing traditional toilet paper
Speaker 1: or would you rather have a bidet? I cannot wait
Speaker 1: for the Minnesota meet and greet will Thank you, Nick.
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to meeting you May twentieth. Let me
Speaker 1: know if you're interested in purchasing one of those shirts
Speaker 1: that I'll I'll have. Maybe I already have it up.
Speaker 1: I don't know this weekend here. So to answer Nick's question,
Speaker 1: I have become a fan of the bidet, Danny, I
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, really, Yeah, something I never thought I
Speaker 1: would be a fan of. I feel very clean with
Speaker 1: the bidet. I I don't like that feeling though, of
Speaker 1: wetness there right. I wish that there was a better
Speaker 1: way to dry. The drying process is the problem. But
Speaker 1: you can you can use both. You could do the
Speaker 1: bidet and then it's much like we just we just
Speaker 1: talked about. Yeah, the dishwashers the closer, So you could
Speaker 1: argue the bidet is the main event, and then the
Speaker 1: closer to come into Mariano Rivera to close out the
Speaker 1: ninth inning would be just a little piece of toilet paper.
Speaker 1: I might as well just stick to what I already
Speaker 1: do is the baby wipes, Daddy. Yeah, but you're not
Speaker 1: even to flush the baby wipes. You're not supposed to
Speaker 1: flush it because it destroys the plumbing in your house. Oh,
Speaker 1: I destroy everybody's plumbing. Okay, all right. I used to
Speaker 1: do that too, and then I got a lecture. There's
Speaker 1: a brand or two where they have proven that they
Speaker 1: will not back up plumbing. So go with those two brands.
Speaker 1: I don't know but that I'm a little some cheap
Speaker 1: costco kind though. That yeah, boy, that Kirkland brand that'll
Speaker 1: back up an entire hotel. You wash your mouth out
Speaker 1: with soap and water. Next up on the mail bag,
Speaker 1: let's see here. I think this is from our buddy
Speaker 1: in Phoenix, and he says, what games did you have
Speaker 1: on your cell phone? Or what which do you recommend?
Speaker 1: Are you playing any games on your cell phone? I
Speaker 1: think that's the question. You do want any gaming, Danny
Speaker 1: right now? On the phone? Anything stand out there? You know,
Speaker 1: I only have one game on my cell phone, and
Speaker 1: it is that Airplane game nineteen forty two. That's your game,
Speaker 1: that's your that's the game. That's the go to game
Speaker 1: when I'm waiting in a long line to pick up food.
Speaker 1: So to answer the question, I have also like you,
Speaker 1: we're very similar in that regard. I have one game
Speaker 1: at a time that I play a lot of and
Speaker 1: the game right now that I play is let me,
Speaker 1: let me get it up for you here, giggy, I've
Speaker 1: this button here, and my go to game is scrabble.
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a big scrabble guy. That was by
Speaker 1: the way, Lee, our buddy Lee in the Valley of
Speaker 1: the Sun. At least he's a good guy. And yeah,
Speaker 1: so I I play scrabble, and I usually play a
Speaker 1: game until I get burned out on I played Tetris.
Speaker 1: Has been my game before Solitaire, but now currently now
Speaker 1: it's scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble, scrabble. What else we have?
Speaker 1: Fred in Spring Texas writes in on the mail bag.
Speaker 1: He says, Hey, guys, do either of you have mementos
Speaker 1: you keep that remind you of your parents or your grandparents?
Speaker 1: He says, really enjoy the show, thank you? Fred. Yes, yes, absolutely,
Speaker 1: both my parents were gone unfortunately, so I have photos
Speaker 1: and you know, pretty much everything from my youth that
Speaker 1: my parents were involved in. I have a few things
Speaker 1: spread around the house to remind me of the good
Speaker 1: times with my mom and my dad, and so absolutely
Speaker 1: I have I have several things around there. Anything for
Speaker 1: your your grandparents, Danny, anything you want to you know,
Speaker 1: share that you have. Yeah, my grandfather left me a
Speaker 1: really cool it's like this little Bentley leather bag. He
Speaker 1: held his pipe in it. That's how old school it is.
Speaker 1: Smoke weed every day. Oh that's cool. There you go,
Speaker 1: all right, very good. Next up we have ozzywas from
Speaker 1: Western Australia, he writes, and he says, high mates, Benny
Speaker 1: the Bopper and microphone throttler. My question for this week
Speaker 1: have you ever had to wear a uniform for a
Speaker 1: job or a particular event for work? Just my items
Speaker 1: of no choice for work are a high is long
Speaker 1: pants and shirt with reflective tape, steel cap boots and
Speaker 1: a hard hat. Says Ozzy was out in Australia, so
Speaker 1: not really working in radio. I've had to wear like
Speaker 1: station gear at events and that's a that's about it.
Speaker 1: And when I did stuff with the Dodgers, you had
Speaker 1: to wear nice clothes on the plane. You had to
Speaker 1: dress up for that. But not that's not wearing steel
Speaker 1: cap boots. What about No, you're right, our entire careers
Speaker 1: have boiled down to staff t shirts. Yes, and photo
Speaker 1: occasionally photoshoots with jackets and sers. And things like that.
Speaker 1: But that's about it. Yeah, that's about it. Let's see.
Speaker 1: Next up, we have Callaghan Tim from Sturgis, Michigan. He says, hey, guys,
Speaker 1: I grew up in Los Angeles. I moved to Michigan
Speaker 1: when I was thirty, so that's how I got Callaghan Tim.
Speaker 1: I used to watch the King's practice in the morning.
Speaker 1: He's selling some stories here. Get a bunch of stories
Speaker 1: about the Kings and the Lakers. Anybody on the Clippers
Speaker 1: is a half of what Kobe Bryant is. And he
Speaker 1: told the story about Phil Jackson almost running him over
Speaker 1: at the Laker facility. He told the story about Isaiah
Speaker 1: Ryder and the real reason he got suspended. So there
Speaker 1: are some interesting stories there. He says he would go
Speaker 1: hang out and Phil was flying in the parking lot
Speaker 1: one time, and he says, as he was walking, this guy,
Speaker 1: Callaghan Tim, was walking across the lane in the parking lot.
Speaker 1: The back end of Phil Jackson's poor slid out of
Speaker 1: control and he says Tim, he had to dive into
Speaker 1: a bush. He landed on his head, his feet. Tim says,
Speaker 1: we're up in the air everywhere, and he said, Phil Jackson,
Speaker 1: this Endmaster rolled down his window and says, sorry, buddy.
Speaker 1: And then the guy opened the gate at the Laker
Speaker 1: facility and he floored it into the gated area away
Speaker 1: from the unwashed. So that would have been quite if
Speaker 1: Phil Jackson had run over Callighan Tim, that would have
Speaker 1: been a big story at the time. Yeah. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: Tim also says he says, I've emailed you guys a
Speaker 1: few weeks ago about what I do while I'm listing,
Speaker 1: and I told you. Tim says that when the weather
Speaker 1: is nice, I have three acres tomorrow. I remember this
Speaker 1: guy three acres the mos Some of my property is woods.
Speaker 1: Danny g asked if I can if he can live here,
Speaker 1: I asked for an anchor. Yeah, he says, I can
Speaker 1: build him a house in the back of my property.
Speaker 1: So he's offering to build you a house if you
Speaker 1: want to live in Sturgis, Michigan. Danny Tim says he will.
Speaker 1: He will build you a little house in the back
Speaker 1: of his property. He says, Danny, are you good with
Speaker 1: three bedroom, two bath. Just a warning, he says, we
Speaker 1: have deer, raccoons, possums, squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, and a bobcat.
Speaker 1: We call Frank. He's kind of an asshole, but he
Speaker 1: keeps all the small animals at bay. He just leaves
Speaker 1: the head the heads in the yard. And he said,
Speaker 1: we have a lake that's a two minute walk from
Speaker 1: the property. It sounds beautiful. And Kid Rock taught us
Speaker 1: that Michigan is beautiful in the summertime. So if it's free,
Speaker 1: it's for me. I'm down Sturgis, Michigan. You're right there, Danny, You,
Speaker 1: you and the Missis can have a nice summer home.
Speaker 1: Let's go a summer cabin with a bobcat. What's not
Speaker 1: to like? Now, do you know where Sturgiss is in Michigan.
Speaker 1: Let's do a little fun facts with Sturgis Michigan. Here Sturgis,
Speaker 1: Michigan is located. Oh oh yeah, I'm looking. It's it's
Speaker 1: on the It's just north of the Michigan Indiana border,
Speaker 1: so it's right. It's on the lower part of Michigan.
Speaker 1: It's it's got I eighty and ninety, the Indiana Toll
Speaker 1: Road right there. It's got its own airport railroad. It's
Speaker 1: sister cities with Westloch Germany. Weisloch Germany, Weisloch Germany. Did
Speaker 1: you know it's known as the Electric City. Oh is
Speaker 1: that right? Due to their High Joe Electric Dam, which
Speaker 1: dates back to the early days of the community. The
Speaker 1: city owned atric department has served the Sturgis area since
Speaker 1: the city's inception in eighteen ninety six. I will one
Speaker 1: up you. How about this as a fun fact for Sturgis, Michigan.
Speaker 1: I'll leave the light on for you. Tom Boett, Tom
Speaker 1: Bodett was raised in Sturgis, Michigan. Wow, oh my, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a fun fact. Yeah, but wait, there's more. Verne Troyer.
Speaker 1: Verne Troyer. He grew up right near Sturgis in Centerville, Michigan.
Speaker 1: He's not around anymore though. He died. Yeah, he passed away,
Speaker 1: that little dude, right, yeah, yeah, he was in the
Speaker 1: mini He was Mini me, right, was it? Yeah? He
Speaker 1: was Mini me? Yeah yeah, all right, yeah, thank you
Speaker 1: for that Callighan Tim good stories, Alfie alien Opina, Right,
Speaker 1: since says waiting by the phone for my call from
Speaker 1: the Basketball Hall of Fame? Guy, is there an item
Speaker 1: that is on your wish list that you can't afford
Speaker 1: but you would feel guilty buying. It's possibly something that
Speaker 1: you'd be more likely to pull a trigger on if
Speaker 1: you were a single anything pop up there, Danny, I
Speaker 1: don't really have anything. I don't I don't really need
Speaker 1: that much stuff. And yeah, I feel like when I
Speaker 1: need something, I kind of get it. I'm not really
Speaker 1: having a midlife crisis like I need to go out
Speaker 1: get something. So I think I'm good. Yeah, my wife
Speaker 1: is pretty cool with you know, things that I liked
Speaker 1: that I want to get. Like when I was shopping
Speaker 1: for my car, she could have been bitchy about the
Speaker 1: price or the kind of fast car I like or wanted.
Speaker 1: But her attitude is whatever makes you happy, whatever makes
Speaker 1: you smile. It's a cool thing to have in a
Speaker 1: significant other. You still need to finish off my car, Ben,
Speaker 1: because I don't have tinted windows yet, and I want
Speaker 1: to get a performance muffler put in. And yeah, so
Speaker 1: you add a few things. I was I was shocked
Speaker 1: about how expensive it is to get professional window tinting
Speaker 1: on a car. Yeah, it's gone up the past decade.
Speaker 1: What a what a hustle. I should get into that business.
Speaker 1: I think I could do it. I think I could
Speaker 1: do window tin and you know, there's have the reach.
Speaker 1: Yeah I got to read, but there's multiple versions of wind.
Speaker 1: I didn't know this until we were investigating window tin.
Speaker 1: So there's a couple of ways to do it. You
Speaker 1: can you can get window tin, which you have to
Speaker 1: replace in like five years or a couple of years,
Speaker 1: and then you can spend a thousand dollars on window
Speaker 1: tin and then it's supposed to last the life of
Speaker 1: the window on the car. Yeah, that's a lot of
Speaker 1: dough right. There used to be two hundred dollars specials
Speaker 1: that you would drive past, remember, yes, yes, uh? And
Speaker 1: can you can you do it yourself? Would you want
Speaker 1: to do it yourself? Day? Would you be willing to
Speaker 1: do window tint yourself? No? No? And in fact, my
Speaker 1: certified new is that what it is, certified used car
Speaker 1: that I bought. One of the only things wrong on
Speaker 1: the outside of the car is you could tell it
Speaker 1: must have been a female driving it. Sexist the passenger side.
Speaker 1: The rims are scraped. Oh okay, now that's the old meme,
Speaker 1: the old joke, that meme that says Happy National Women's
Speaker 1: Day and it shows a rim that's all tore up
Speaker 1: from the curb, tore up from the curb up. We
Speaker 1: love you women, But yeah, some don't know how to
Speaker 1: park against a curb. They what do they call it?
Speaker 1: Curb rash? I bought something on Amazon to fix it.
Speaker 1: But it's this whole thing. I didn't realize. It's all
Speaker 1: these different steps you have to take. It's like putty.
Speaker 1: You have to let it dry and then you have
Speaker 1: to sand it. Ain't nobody got time for that. No,
Speaker 1: that's that's not that is not realistic. Ma, Man, that
Speaker 1: ain't gonna work. Mama. We got busy lives, you got
Speaker 1: radio the new Yeah, man, come on and it says
Speaker 1: let it sit for five hours and then come back
Speaker 1: and sand it. Yeah. I got five hours to work
Speaker 1: off and wait for some putty to dry exactly. Terry
Speaker 1: from England writes in on the Mailbag. He says, how
Speaker 1: many miles do you have to go or dude, to
Speaker 1: get to the studio now, Ben, compared to how far
Speaker 1: the old mallor Mansion was. Well, Danny, you've been to
Speaker 1: both the old and the new mallor Mansion, so you
Speaker 1: know it is much further to get the current mallor Mansion.
Speaker 1: I don't know the mile. I just think it's more
Speaker 1: about the time. I'm very lucky I work when I do.
Speaker 1: If I had worked during the day, I think I
Speaker 1: would I would buy a helicopter. It's a it's a
Speaker 1: it's a freaking uh poop fest. But it's it's much
Speaker 1: further away, Terry, It's probably what do you think, two
Speaker 1: hours in traffic? Yeah, two hours in traffic. Where I
Speaker 1: lived before I could's there was a lot of traffic,
Speaker 1: but it's at least an hour further from where I
Speaker 1: was prior to where I'm at now. Cup fan Mike
Speaker 1: writes in from Fort Wayne, any Anna. He says, Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: what was your favorite spring break location when you were
Speaker 1: growing up? So I didn't do spring break that much, Danny,
Speaker 1: but Vegas. Everyone loved going to Vegas, even though we
Speaker 1: weren't old enough to actually gamble. Just like hanging out
Speaker 1: in Vegas was cool and Palm Springs was also popular
Speaker 1: in San Diego, those like the Big Three? Did I
Speaker 1: recall what about you, Danny not to be a party pooper,
Speaker 1: but I did not a for spring break. I was working.
Speaker 1: I jumped right into the workforce. I was working at
Speaker 1: an FM radio station when I was sixteen years old. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just want to point out I went to Vegas
Speaker 1: a few times, but I also started I started radio
Speaker 1: when I was nineteen, so I didn't really get to
Speaker 1: enjoy the full college spring break situation. I did go
Speaker 1: to saddleback for a little bit, but then I quickly
Speaker 1: moved on to other things. Mark from Parts Unknown right
Speaker 1: Scene says Ben and Danny, Gee, I've been listening to
Speaker 1: The Mallard Show on the podcast since approximately twenty twelve.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I've downloaded all four hours and all of
Speaker 1: the fifth hour as well. Thank you, Mark, I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: And he says A great documentary called he recommends is
Speaker 1: the Super Bob Einstein movie on HBO. It's the funniest
Speaker 1: documentary I've ever seen. He says, thank you all there.
Speaker 1: I love super Daves Delivery. Yeah, I actually have seen that.
Speaker 1: That is a solid documentary. It's not in my top
Speaker 1: documentary standings. You know my top documentaries. I have Operational Odessa, Mark,
Speaker 1: you should watch Operational Odessa, Super Mensch, Supersize Me Too,
Speaker 1: The Dark Side, and mcmillions. Those are my very top documentaries.
Speaker 1: Mcmillions was at the no which one was the was it? Pepsi?
Speaker 1: The Pepsi, the jet the Jet Fighter. That one was
Speaker 1: good too. I did like that one. Get the name
Speaker 1: of that, but that was really good. Yeah, that one's
Speaker 1: pretty solid. Mcmillions was the one where the guys that
Speaker 1: the family was scamming the McDonald's contest, so they were here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. It's it's kind of similar to the Pepsi
Speaker 1: jet Fighter one. Yeah. Yeah, the jet Fighter one had
Speaker 1: Michael Avanadi on it. It was a Netflix show, right
Speaker 1: it wasn't? Yes, yes, yeah, that was. That was pretty
Speaker 1: good too. I should I should add that to my
Speaker 1: I don't have a list, as you know, Danny, I
Speaker 1: don't believe in list, but I have Big Ben's Big Board,
Speaker 1: which is much different. It was called Pepsi. Where's my
Speaker 1: jet Oh? Okay, yeah that was That was really good too.
Speaker 1: And next up is Noah from Austin. He says, howdy,
Speaker 1: Gent's Sunday mail bag, my birthday. Happy Easter by thele
Speaker 1: That's right, it's Easter, says. My question to you and
Speaker 1: Danny g is if you could both start your radio
Speaker 1: careers over, what would you have done differently? It's from Noah,
Speaker 1: So you want to go first to any any changes
Speaker 1: you would make to the road. I would have picked
Speaker 1: a different night to invite my young lady friend into
Speaker 1: the main control room is a lot of meat. When
Speaker 1: I was man, I must have been eighteen, and I
Speaker 1: had a friend come into the studio, and little did
Speaker 1: I know, the general manager of the station was going
Speaker 1: to be showing up late that night dropping off the
Speaker 1: station van. Oh and yeah, he apparently saw what I
Speaker 1: was doing through the window. And then I got called
Speaker 1: into the principal's office the next day, and let's just
Speaker 1: say it was a very embarrassing meeting for me and
Speaker 1: to this day. And I did wonderful things for that company,
Speaker 1: awesome number one ratings. So this day I see that
Speaker 1: general manager of mine. He now runs radio stations up
Speaker 1: in Portland and Seattle. And what's the one story he
Speaker 1: tells everybody when he's introducing me around. Tell them about
Speaker 1: the awesome ratings and the awesome promotions and contests that
Speaker 1: I came up with on the air. No, he tells
Speaker 1: them about that one night he got to the station
Speaker 1: and I was up to no good. You were making
Speaker 1: whoopee you were you were giving up close and personal
Speaker 1: exam of the radio station and uh and all the other.
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, I was. All I was doing was
Speaker 1: showing her how to change the meter readings. Oh there
Speaker 1: you go. Yeah you were. You were pointing things out
Speaker 1: to her, is what you were? I got you, I
Speaker 1: got you, I got you all right. Next to answer
Speaker 1: your question, though, happy Birthday by Is this a cheap
Speaker 1: way for you to get a birthday shout out? Is
Speaker 1: that what you're doing on the Sunday mail bag? How? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it does. But happy birthday and and and he did
Speaker 1: a Cadbury egg from I love those Cadbury eggs. Happy Birthday.
Speaker 1: You do not look a day over sixty. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't change anything in my radio career other
Speaker 1: than the fact that I was very paranoid that I
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna make it. And I had a very traumatic
Speaker 1: experience in San Diego when I started out, because the
Speaker 1: program director was a bit of a douche and in
Speaker 1: the end of any of every year, they would lay
Speaker 1: a bunch of people off and he would he was
Speaker 1: the kind of guy. He was like a big vomit
Speaker 1: guy from Howard Stern, where he'd be like, Hey, he
Speaker 1: didn't care about board ops or producers. I can go
Speaker 1: down to the train station in San Diego and I
Speaker 1: can get board ops if I need I don't, you know,
Speaker 1: like that kind of thing, yeah, BC, Yeah, it was that.
Speaker 1: It was that kind of vibe. And it was like,
Speaker 1: you know, guys would go on vacation at the end
Speaker 1: of December and they'd never come back and they thought
Speaker 1: they were going on vacation, and then that was that
Speaker 1: was that, and that was unfortunate. But other than that,
Speaker 1: I think we are all a product of all the
Speaker 1: things that happened got us to this point. I'm a
Speaker 1: big believer in that. So all together, things worked out.
Speaker 1: It's been a good career in radio. If it ends today,
Speaker 1: so be it. But it's been a good run and
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think I would change anything. And
Speaker 1: unlike Danny G, I was not I was not spending
Speaker 1: quality time with listeners, at least not at the radio
Speaker 1: station who said she was a listener. Oh probably not. Oh.
Speaker 1: I had an old program director and he used to say,
Speaker 1: if we're number one in the ratings, everybody is a listener.
Speaker 1: There you go, there you go, You're all number Jeffrey
Speaker 1: Rights and from many says, some great people up here
Speaker 1: in Maine, Bend and Danny G. They made this big
Speaker 1: old ice circle thing on a frozen lake that six
Speaker 1: football fields freaking wide. He says it's not as big
Speaker 1: as Lizzo's dinner plate, but impressive. Nonetheless, all right, this
Speaker 1: guy's got jokes. Lame jokes are on Friday, sir, not
Speaker 1: on the mail bag. Bad job by you. Back back
Speaker 1: from Maine. Jay Bone from Portland, Maine says, if you
Speaker 1: put your podcast on, then play two times the speed
Speaker 1: when the boys are fighting. He talks about game shows,
Speaker 1: Laker Clipper fights. Hearing everyone yelling so fast is funny,
Speaker 1: he says, not a question, just a suggestion. Okay, you're
Speaker 1: talking about your live show. Yeah, but you can also
Speaker 1: on this podcast. We don't really fight on this podcast,
Speaker 1: but I will point out we get the same credit
Speaker 1: on the podcast. They don't know whether you're listening fast
Speaker 1: forwarding or not, right, so it doesn't really matter at us.
Speaker 1: You know. Somebody at work, though, did tell me that
Speaker 1: when they do listen back to the podcast, they listen
Speaker 1: at one and a half speed, so the voices are
Speaker 1: slightly fast, but not chipmunk fast. But that would bug me.
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear somebody's voice it sped up.
Speaker 1: It's like when I hear your voice on a commercial
Speaker 1: and they need to edit you down because your commercial
Speaker 1: read was too long. So it's like Ben Maller, but
Speaker 1: the chipmunk version of Ben Mallard. Are you saying? I
Speaker 1: don't sound like that when I'm speed reading. I don't
Speaker 1: sound or Ben Maller when he was twenty two years old,
Speaker 1: because that's what you sounded like back then. I don't
Speaker 1: know if Royals are having their problems on the road,
Speaker 1: Royals having their problems on the road. I'm Ben Mallock.
Speaker 1: I was right. I said that twenty years ago, and
Speaker 1: today the Royals are still having their problems on the road.
Speaker 1: Nothing has changed any more than that in my lifetime
Speaker 1: unless it has it. The Royals are always having their
Speaker 1: problems on the road. Greg writes in he says, who
Speaker 1: would win a steelcage match? Blair or Marcel? You know
Speaker 1: who would win that match? The people watching the match,
Speaker 1: they're the ones that would win the match. But I
Speaker 1: would give Blair the edge. Marcel's physically more dominant. From
Speaker 1: what I don't I've never met Marcel. I've met Blair.
Speaker 1: Blair's he's not the biggest cat in the zoo. But
Speaker 1: Marcel would have a physical advantage, but Blair, I think
Speaker 1: would have a slight technique advantage in bobbing and weaving.
Speaker 1: Marcel would just stand there and say, motombo him, motombo him,
Speaker 1: block him that. I'm pretty sure that's how that would
Speaker 1: go down. A bell listener, Bell writes, and she's in Tennessee.
Speaker 1: She says, guys, if you were single, would you date
Speaker 1: a woman with a full body tattoo? Who? So, Bell,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not a tattoo guy. I did when
Speaker 1: I was dating I. I know, beggars can't be choosers.
Speaker 1: So I did date some some young ladies that have tattoos,
Speaker 1: but I I never I don't know full body. That's
Speaker 1: a a little tough like. I don't mind a little
Speaker 1: bit here, a little bit there, maybe on the ankle back.
Speaker 1: When I was dating Danny, very popular tattoo was on
Speaker 1: the lower back. That was the quote unquote tramp stamp. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Is that still popular these days? I don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: not up on the tattoo world these days. No, the
Speaker 1: ladies they have nicer tattoos these days in lots of
Speaker 1: other places on their bodies. Yeah, okay. Remember also, we're
Speaker 1: around the same age. Danny did the barbed wire tattoo?
Speaker 1: Remember that? Oh god, those did not age well. Shocking
Speaker 1: they did not age. Ask Jonas Knox go hard on
Speaker 1: a guy? Oh does he he's got a barbed wire
Speaker 1: He even makes fun of it himself. He's like, I
Speaker 1: don't know what I was thinking. I don't know why
Speaker 1: I did it, but it did not age well at all. Um,
Speaker 1: there are I like when women have tattoos on one side,
Speaker 1: so maybe like half a sleeve on one side, but
Speaker 1: when they have tattoos on both sides of their bodies,
Speaker 1: it looks too manly to me. But I do think
Speaker 1: it's feminine and nice when it's on one side of
Speaker 1: their body. Everything in moderation, even moderation should be in moderation.
Speaker 1: I think that's all we have time for a manic
Speaker 1: Mike and Steve and Joe and all you other yahoo's.
Speaker 1: I apologize, but we can't go on forever. We have
Speaker 1: things to do, places to hang out and whatnot. It's
Speaker 1: Easter Sunday, Passover festivity is still going on and all
Speaker 1: that good stuff. Eat the mazza today. It's early Sunday
Speaker 1: morning right now, so my chick is probably downstairs hiding
Speaker 1: eggs on the balcony. Okay, you just well, the kids
Speaker 1: don't listen to a podcast. Nah, they're old now. Anyway,
Speaker 1: her kids are older now, So I mean, we just
Speaker 1: got the twelve year old. But the twelve year old
Speaker 1: doesn't think there's a bunny hopping around laying eggs. No. Oh,
Speaker 1: and this blast Christmas was the first time she was like, Mom,
Speaker 1: are you serious? Mom? And you know, if there is
Speaker 1: a kid listening right now, they don't even know what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about, but you do because we're not in
Speaker 1: the business of spoiling things for anybody. But yeah, she
Speaker 1: is just like, Mom, I can't believe you did that.
Speaker 1: She's just so put off by the whole thought of
Speaker 1: you know what her mom did? Yeah, ready to be
Speaker 1: all grown up, ready to Yeah. Yeah, But you know what, Ben,
Speaker 1: they don't turn the candy back in today, They're gonna
