Speaker 1: Kutbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air eyway. The Fifth Hour with Me, Big
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny g Radio hanging out with you on
Speaker 1: a lazy Sunday holiday weekend, Indianapolis five hundred. Hello, can
Speaker 1: you say Indy five hundred? I knew you could as
Speaker 1: we hang out with you on this Sunday And mail
Speaker 1: Bag Dan, it's mail Bagdadny. I know you're excited about
Speaker 1: you before the mailbag every week?
Speaker 3: Do you not? I do us? An ask Ben? Which
Speaker 3: are nothing alike? By the way, No, no, they're totally different. Yeah.
Speaker 1: This is not a ripoff. This is not a cheap,
Speaker 1: inferior copycat of a Gucci bag. No, no, this is
Speaker 1: the real deal. Raw. Can we celebrate National paper airplane Day? Today?
Speaker 1: Today is national? Why would today? What are you talking
Speaker 1: about what happened to your inner child. Let your inner
Speaker 1: child out, Let your inner child fly.
Speaker 3: Nobody, no, no one ever let us fly those planes.
Speaker 3: Parents took them away. Grandparents took them away, teachers took
Speaker 3: them away.
Speaker 1: Oh, there's no question.
Speaker 3: Not good memories, I know.
Speaker 1: But did you know that the history of the paper
Speaker 1: airplane goes back to the seventeen hundreds? Did you know
Speaker 1: that in France brothers made a hot air balloon using
Speaker 1: paper in the seventeen hundreds, and then it's expanded over.
Speaker 3: Over the years.
Speaker 1: Now I have a great paper plane story. You probably
Speaker 1: think there's no way you could have a great paper
Speaker 1: plane story. It's impossible to have a great paper plane story. Now,
Speaker 1: this goes back to Chavez Ravine Dodger Stadium in the
Speaker 1: nineteen nineties, covering the Dodgers on a regular basis, and
Speaker 1: it was just about it was a day game. I
Speaker 1: don't know whether it was a Sunday or a Thursday.
Speaker 1: I don't remember the day of the week, but it
Speaker 1: was a day game. And I'm sitting in the press
Speaker 1: box at Dodger Stadium, and out of the corner of
Speaker 1: my eye from the upper deck at Dodger Stadium, I
Speaker 1: see this paper airplane, all right, and it's coming down
Speaker 1: from the like the right field area, and it's coming
Speaker 1: down and I track it and this effing thing from
Speaker 1: the upper deck. The wind was blowing. I guess in
Speaker 1: that there.
Speaker 3: I've seen video of this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it got down to Home Place. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: was at that game. I was at that game. It
Speaker 1: was the most amazing thing I have. I don't want
Speaker 1: to say I've ever seen, but in terms of paper airplanes,
Speaker 1: that will never be never be topped, it will never be. No,
Speaker 1: but like one of the odds from the freaking top
Speaker 1: of Dodger Stadium. Yeah, you would throw a paper airplane
Speaker 1: and the freaking thing would go right the home plane.
Speaker 3: I totally remember either seeing this or hearing about this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw it, and I am very lucky one
Speaker 1: of the that And when Fernando Tatis, not junior, his
Speaker 1: old man, hit two Grand slams in the same inning.
Speaker 1: I was at that game also, So the.
Speaker 3: Game and the Dodger gaber, the paper airplane would.
Speaker 1: But that The only reason I brought up that today
Speaker 1: is National Paper Airplane Day, is to tell that story.
Speaker 1: Otherwise I have no reason to bring that up. There's no, now,
Speaker 1: I like you, Danny. When we were in school, we
Speaker 1: fetched around with paper and made paper airplanes and we
Speaker 1: were not allowed to.
Speaker 3: I hated when I would make a masterpiece and the
Speaker 3: teacher would take it away.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then would make it even worse by taking
Speaker 1: it and you know, grabbing it in the fist of
Speaker 1: their hand and like squishing the paper to the other
Speaker 1: right into a paper ball. I was always like next
Speaker 1: level pouring salt on the wound. But my problem when
Speaker 1: I made the paper airplanes was I made like these
Speaker 1: giant air cargo ships. I didn't make the sleek, you know,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be like thin, lean and mean. Mine
Speaker 1: were always like fat, like Jumbo. They were to carry boxes,
Speaker 1: not like.
Speaker 3: The plane that carried the Columbia.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like Mike, exactly, Like my construction of paper airplanes
Speaker 1: left a lot to be desired, a lot to be
Speaker 1: desired there. I was not very artistic when I was
Speaker 1: making the paper airplane.
Speaker 3: So were you able to make a paper football?
Speaker 2: Then?
Speaker 3: Remember how we used to flick that on a tip?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I could do that. Yeah. We used
Speaker 1: to play that with your flick it with your finger
Speaker 1: and your you're going together yeah, that was always And
Speaker 1: if it was off the other side of the table, Oh,
Speaker 1: you got a free kick. Yeah, you had to make
Speaker 1: you to make the goal post right with your almost
Speaker 1: together make the goal post there. The kids kids don't
Speaker 1: do that today, right, there's no way, no, why would
Speaker 1: they do that.
Speaker 3: It's a lost art. Yeah. And it really felt like
Speaker 3: a great field goal when you would flick it, kick
Speaker 3: it through and then it would nail the person in
Speaker 3: the face.
Speaker 1: Perfect, absolutely perfect. Yeah, there's no question. All right, let's
Speaker 1: get to the mail bag. Mail bag, the stuff of nightmares.
Speaker 1: The mail bag. OHIOO, it's bag, all right, thank you, Ohio.
Speaker 1: Aw first one comes from Frank in Arizona. I believe
Speaker 1: he's in so that just there, although I don't he
Speaker 1: didn't say he's from Phoenix. But there's only a couple
Speaker 1: of cities where people live in Arizona, in the Phoenix
Speaker 1: area or the Tucson area.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: I guess there's flag Staff.
Speaker 3: I've always wanted to visit Tucson. I wonder what it
Speaker 3: looks like there.
Speaker 1: You're not missing anything, but kid, because I Hearson anyway,
Speaker 1: Frank says, hey, Ben and Danny, Ben, I heard you
Speaker 1: fill in in LA this week. Any chance you he
Speaker 1: was the one, Any chance you will end up doing
Speaker 1: a regular local, local show again, Well, it's not on
Speaker 1: my agenda, Frank, but I'm not opposed to if it's
Speaker 1: in a place like I like LA. Obviously I could
Speaker 1: do a show in LA locally Boston. There's a few
Speaker 1: cities I would work in that have a passion or
Speaker 1: I have a passion for the sports in those cities.
Speaker 1: But I think we're very lucky. Danny like doing the
Speaker 1: national stuff. We can talk about whatever the hot story is.
Speaker 1: It's a little more difficult when you do local stuff,
Speaker 1: especially if the teams are not bad. If they're bad,
Speaker 1: that's good local radio. But if they're mediocre, that's bad
Speaker 1: local radio. You don't want mediocre.
Speaker 3: You don't kiss up enough to the l A teams
Speaker 3: the way Davids say as a yes, catching as Stray,
Speaker 3: you know he's chummy chummy with the players, and I
Speaker 3: don't see you doing that. You know, you're very much
Speaker 3: Jonas Knox. You go the other direction.
Speaker 1: I got a thing about dead bodies.
Speaker 3: When he's on LA radio, I hear I'm talking smack
Speaker 3: about most LA teams. You do the same thing, and
Speaker 3: so I think, especially like the Lakers station, they would
Speaker 3: all chew you up and spit you out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not all the way off the orifice of
Speaker 1: the local team that that is true. And in La
Speaker 1: the except for the.
Speaker 3: Clippers, they would love to have you on the Clippers station.
Speaker 3: Rip the Clippers a little bit, a little bit, but.
Speaker 1: It's like a lot of the l A local guys,
Speaker 1: they are total homers.
Speaker 3: It's a some of that's kind of a normal thing though, Right.
Speaker 3: You go from big city to big city across our country,
Speaker 3: and there's going to be homers for that city's team
Speaker 3: on the radio.
Speaker 1: But like certain cities, like in Boston, they don't really
Speaker 1: do that as much. They attack, they attack everyone. In
Speaker 1: New York they are homeeristic. In New York Philly they
Speaker 1: attack everyone. They just go for the jugular.
Speaker 3: I mean, some of that is fun, but I don't
Speaker 3: want to hear back to back to back shows where
Speaker 3: all they're doing is ripping the team that you're hopeful for. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think we have to worry about that,
Speaker 1: Frank anytime soon. But of course, if something were to
Speaker 1: happen and I needed to get a job somewhere, I
Speaker 1: would be willing to change my position. As you know,
Speaker 1: Danny right, suddenly you have to you have to do
Speaker 1: what you have to do.
Speaker 3: Contracts rule rub a couple of shekels together.
Speaker 1: Wild Man from Morgantown, West Virginia, Wright City says, hey, bandon,
Speaker 1: dandy g I be watching people debate on social media,
Speaker 1: and if you call those sugary fizzy drinks like coke
Speaker 1: and pepsi, pop or soda, I don't think that stuff pop.
Speaker 3: What is this the nineteen fifties.
Speaker 1: No, there are parts of the country. It's regional. It's
Speaker 1: regional like pop or soda, coca pepsi in like Atlanta.
Speaker 1: I believe it's Atlanta. Everything's coke.
Speaker 3: But we're not drinking coke out of glass bottles because
Speaker 3: I'm guessing that's where that came from, right, because the
Speaker 3: lids would pop off.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I don't know exactly where I mean. I
Speaker 1: Coca Cola, I can look it up, but Coca Cola
Speaker 1: was from Georgia. So everything that is a carbonated drink
Speaker 1: they say Coca cola.
Speaker 3: Where soda pop came from?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't I could dig into it, but he
Speaker 1: says wild Man in West Virginia says, I don't drink
Speaker 1: that stuff very often, but when I do, I call
Speaker 1: it soda. I called my grandfather pop. What do you
Speaker 1: guys say, Yeah, I'm I'm soda, I'm Team Soda. Yeah
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. I don't do the pop thing.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I was right to open a bottle. Back
Speaker 3: in the day, the consumer would knock the top, releasing
Speaker 3: the pressure with a sudden pop, which gave soda pop
Speaker 3: its name.
Speaker 1: But how come in some regions it's still called pop
Speaker 1: and not soda.
Speaker 3: That's a great question.
Speaker 1: It's it's like the sandwich is a hero. In some places,
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's a HOGI In other places there's
Speaker 1: different names depending on which region of the country you're in. Anyway,
Speaker 1: wild Man says, if you're ever able to make it
Speaker 1: to Columbus, Ohio, it would be awesome to see all
Speaker 1: there at a mallor meet and greet. I'll tell you what,
Speaker 1: wild Man, we got to get a deal like Danny
Speaker 1: g has with these graduate hotel people. Maybe you guys
Speaker 1: can reach out. You the listeners can reach out to
Speaker 1: graduate hotels and say, hey, we got Malard meet and greets.
Speaker 1: I'll go to all these places and do the malored
Speaker 1: meet and greet. We already have a gentleman that runs
Speaker 1: a bar in Columbus, Ohio who is offering to host
Speaker 1: a malor meet and greet so we can burn up
Speaker 1: the road do a malor meet and greet. I think
Speaker 1: that would be great. I hope that happens. While Man,
Speaker 1: nothing is scheduled at this time. What is next on
Speaker 1: the mail bag? That would be Mike in the Fullerton
Speaker 1: train Station, It says. Nobody loves Fullerton more than Mike
Speaker 1: and sokel He says, Hey, Ben and Danny g I
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys heard about it or not,
Speaker 1: but a Dodger radio clown picked a fight and lost
Speaker 1: with a much more talented national radio host. Look it
Speaker 1: up if you haven't, Wow, he says. Anyway, have either
Speaker 1: of you ever injured yourself going down a children's slide?
Speaker 1: Says Mike in the Fullerton train Station.
Speaker 3: Ben, I bet when you were little Ben, maybe you
Speaker 3: were Ben little bait. Ben, maybe you were never little,
Speaker 3: but young Ben, you probably burned your legs one time
Speaker 3: going down Yes hot, Yes.
Speaker 1: Everything when we were kids was not designed four kids.
Speaker 1: It was way too hot.
Speaker 3: Yes, rusted steel in one hundred and ten degrees summer weather.
Speaker 1: God, it was like a it was like a death course,
Speaker 1: obstacle course when you were a kid. Yeah, I did
Speaker 1: burn my ass and my legs on the slide multiple times.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had third degree burns from some of the slides.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hundred percent. Now I do have a fun fact about.
Speaker 3: Careful now they may hear about this.
Speaker 1: I know, I know I have a fun fact. Did
Speaker 1: you know that Kobe Bryant's favorite Mexican restaurant was in Fullerton?
Speaker 3: How about that?
Speaker 1: Did you know that?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Kobe was a regular at It was called
Speaker 1: think it's called El Camino Real, I believe was the
Speaker 1: name of it is in Fullerton, still there. It was
Speaker 1: his actually his wife's favorite place, but he would go
Speaker 1: with his daughters and stuff when they would eat their
Speaker 1: you know, regularly. What's the name, it's called El I
Speaker 1: think it's called El Camino Real. It's in Fullerton. If
Speaker 1: you like, type in Kobe's favorite Mexican restaurant in fullerton'll
Speaker 1: it'll come up and they even have like the meal
Speaker 1: that he used to eat all the time. So if
Speaker 1: you're a big Kobe Bryan fan, you go in there.
Speaker 1: And eat just like Kobe did. Anybody on the Clippers
Speaker 1: is half of what Kobe Bryan is. How Dave he
Speaker 1: was a regular there for like twenty years. He would
Speaker 1: go in there quite a bit. That just popped in
Speaker 1: my head because I saw I saw something about that randomly,
Speaker 1: and I saw Mike Mike's name in Fullerton. I was like,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I wonder if Mike and Fullerton has
Speaker 1: eaten at Kobe's favorite Mexican restaurant.
Speaker 3: I don't know. They don't have a helicopter tour of
Speaker 3: the restaurant.
Speaker 1: Oh, Danny, too soon, Danny, how dare you?
Speaker 3: I had to and I love Kobe. I have a
Speaker 3: Kobe Bryan tattoo.
Speaker 1: I know I was gonna say, of all people, of
Speaker 1: all people, Danny.
Speaker 3: My good. Kobe would have laughed. He would have laughed.
Speaker 1: No, No, that's a pretty decent drive.
Speaker 3: Though.
Speaker 1: Kobe lived in Newport Beach to get up to Fullerton.
Speaker 3: And that's the shitty part. Had he not lived way
Speaker 3: out in the woods like you do, he wouldn't have
Speaker 3: had to do a stupid helicopter ride to work or
Speaker 3: to the game that he was going to for his daughter.
Speaker 1: To be fair, though, even if you live in LA,
Speaker 1: you still need to take a helicopter to get around,
Speaker 1: so it's still still the problem. The traffic is an issue.
Speaker 3: Basically, the shitty traffic in LA is what killed Kobe.
Speaker 1: That is right, All you people stuck in goodlock traffic
Speaker 1: in LA, you are responsible for the demise of Kobe.
Speaker 3: Has holes. There you go.
Speaker 1: JJ in Idaho writes and says, hey, Ben, Danny, Ben,
Speaker 1: I heard you with Fred Rogan. A lot of people
Speaker 1: Danny who show this week? We're up to two uh,
Speaker 1: he says, I heard you with Fred and yet you
Speaker 1: he forced you to talk hockey. How painful was that? Well?
Speaker 1: We did one segment, JJ, about the LA Kings coach.
Speaker 1: That's it. One segment.
Speaker 3: This is why I listened to Rogan so infrequently.
Speaker 1: I was not blindsided. I will tell you that the
Speaker 1: great Kevin Figures, who produces the Fred Rogan Show and
Speaker 1: also works at Fox Sports Radio. Who kfig He informed
Speaker 1: me that that would be a topic of conversation. That
Speaker 1: would be a topic. So I spent about thirty seconds
Speaker 1: of a malor investigation kind of digging around trying to
Speaker 1: find some information out about the.
Speaker 3: King's coach, the hockey cheat code you entered into your Google.
Speaker 1: I had like one or two things in the back
Speaker 1: of my head about the Kings. The main point I made,
Speaker 1: and I believe I made this on the air, was
Speaker 1: the King's tried to trade for the Bruins goaltender and
Speaker 1: were rejected because he had a no trade clause. So
Speaker 1: I brought that up, and then Fred brought up a
Speaker 1: guy from the Maple Leafs, marner Man, who he wanted
Speaker 1: the Kings to to get it or they couldn't afford
Speaker 1: him or whatever.
Speaker 3: You had me at maple Yeah, I'm more interested in
Speaker 3: maple food than I am hockey.
Speaker 1: No, and I would have been better off talking about
Speaker 1: like maple syrup. Yeah, that would have been seriously for me.
Speaker 1: I would have had more knowledge of that.
Speaker 3: But I know I tune in. I know I tuned
Speaker 3: into LA sports talk radio to listen to hockey talk,
Speaker 3: hot hockey talk, and me, of.
Speaker 1: All people talking hockey, not just hockey talk, but me
Speaker 1: talking hockey, somebody rather.
Speaker 3: I'd rather hear you cover Marble championships.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I did get email from people who were happy they
Speaker 1: I was forced to talk about the Lakers quite a bit.
Speaker 1: Who me, because you know, I enjoyed that well just
Speaker 1: as much. Clearly. Uh here's one from Steve. He says,
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny, I've had I've heard no update recently
Speaker 1: on the cockroach infestation in your studios. Has the problem
Speaker 1: been taken care of? Uh So, I don't know about you.
Speaker 1: During the day day, I have not seen any. I
Speaker 1: have not seen any cockroaches at night, but there's still there.
Speaker 3: I walked into the production studio a few days ago
Speaker 3: and I heard a crunch. Oh my gosh, I thought
Speaker 3: I stepped on a dorito. It was a cockroach. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was a I stepped on one that was It
Speaker 3: was already dead, laying on its back. It looked like, oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's the thing. When they lay on the
Speaker 1: back there, that's the sign they're ready to check out. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's the It's like human. How sad is it that
Speaker 1: we're experts on coach cockroaches.
Speaker 3: Behavior because we spent the last decade, well you twenty
Speaker 3: years with me ten years. Yeah.
Speaker 1: How great is it that cockroaches can live a full
Speaker 1: life in our building and then when they're ready to die,
Speaker 1: they have a nice, humane death. They just roll over
Speaker 1: on their back and that's that lived a good life
Speaker 1: and and whatnot. And I have got.
Speaker 3: Still crawling around looking for grand slams from Denny's.
Speaker 1: I have had people say I'm a little crazy. I'm
Speaker 1: a daredevil because I'll sometimes walk around at night, you know,
Speaker 1: because o're their foot, Yeah, barefoot. People say what are
Speaker 1: you doing? You're gonna step on a cock road. I'm okay,
Speaker 1: I'm all right. I got enough callouses on my foot.
Speaker 1: I'll be okay, I'll be fine. Kenny writes in from
Speaker 1: Cannona City. He says, Hey, guys, would you rather get
Speaker 1: a paper cut every time you turn a page? Or
Speaker 1: bite your tongue every time you eat? Oh? I think
Speaker 1: that's turning a page? How often you turn a page?
Speaker 3: Well, I was speaking of Dorito's. Couldn't help it. I
Speaker 3: hardly ever eat chips, just like fries. But in our
Speaker 3: vending machine in Sherman Oaks they have cool ranch. Dorito's
Speaker 3: probably your favorite, No, I think? So I was so
Speaker 3: hungry man, because I really I was like you. I
Speaker 3: was fasting that day, not on purpose, though, So I
Speaker 3: got the hand sanitizer. I was ready to go, stuck
Speaker 3: my hand into that bag of yous. First bite down,
Speaker 3: I bit the inside of my cheek. It's the worst
Speaker 3: because then not only does it ruin what you're eating,
Speaker 3: then you know it's gonna be a good three four
Speaker 3: days before that heals. What do you do besides mouthwash
Speaker 3: and peroxide? Maybe there's nothing you can do to really
Speaker 3: heal that sucker one hundred percent. Now here's what I
Speaker 3: want you to do, Danny. Next time, I want you
Speaker 3: to make a pizza. I want you to make it, say,
Speaker 3: right out of the oven, and then when it's as
Speaker 3: hot as it possibly can be, I want you to
Speaker 3: cut the pizza and then take a giant bite out
Speaker 3: of the pizza. I then want you to burn the
Speaker 3: entire right lower right part of your tongue. And then
Speaker 3: after that, I want you to go to the studio
Speaker 3: and I want you then to do talk radio for
Speaker 3: four hours with a lisp a burn tongue. And then, Danny,
Speaker 3: I want you to come back the next day and
Speaker 3: do it again, and the day after and the day after. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so you burned your ass on a slide and your
Speaker 3: mouth on a pizza.
Speaker 1: Well, that was the famous the pizza burned tongue. I
Speaker 1: have no patience. I ate the pizza too fast. I
Speaker 1: was coming off of Fast and I burned my tongue
Speaker 1: and I did the whole show, an entire week of
Speaker 1: radio with a lisp. I sounded like the old Notre
Speaker 1: Dame coach Lou Holtz, if you know who that is.
Speaker 3: It was terrible.
Speaker 1: And this is proof God love our bosses. They're not
Speaker 1: often listening because I have done shows with laryngitis. I
Speaker 1: have done shows with coughs where I had to stop
Speaker 1: in the middle of a monologue because I was coughing
Speaker 1: up a lung. I've done a week of shows with
Speaker 1: my tongue burned. All of these things have happened. But
Speaker 1: to answer Kenny's question, Yeah, I would much rather have
Speaker 1: a paper a paper cut, which is also sucks, right,
Speaker 1: A paper cut is very painful, but the tongue is
Speaker 1: the money maker.
Speaker 3: Yeah. That hand sanitizer I love to use all day long.
Speaker 3: Couldn't use that with all kinds of paper cuts all
Speaker 3: over my hands?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be a bit of a bit of
Speaker 1: an issue. And that is one of the perks that
Speaker 1: we get at Fox Sports Radio. We get free coffee,
Speaker 1: free water, free ice, and hand sanitized.
Speaker 3: Oh, there are big jugs of hand sanitizer all over yeah.
Speaker 1: Which is odd considering the pandemic has been over for
Speaker 1: a while. But they're just prepared for the next pandemic.
Speaker 1: They're prepared for the next pandemic for sure, all right.
Speaker 1: Fred writes in from Spring, Texas. He says, greetings, gentlemen,
Speaker 1: what do you guys? What are your two guys middle names?
Speaker 1: Do you like them? Or if you could, would you
Speaker 1: like another? I really enjoy both best of the Overnight
Speaker 1: Show and the Fifth Hour podcast. Well, thank you, Fred.
Speaker 1: My middle name is a close kept a secret, much
Speaker 1: like Homer J. Simpson. You know, just the Jay and
Speaker 1: that's it. But what you want to give your middle
Speaker 1: name out to the mass.
Speaker 3: I don't mind. So I'm Danny Leroy Gara Delli Lee Roy. Yesamy,
Speaker 3: you're laughing, but that's my middle name, my son Leroy,
Speaker 3: Is that right? Is that right?
Speaker 2: Yea?
Speaker 3: My mom is a huge Luther Vandros fan, huge Michael
Speaker 3: Jackson fan, and she loved this character on TV. His
Speaker 3: name was Leroy. Okay, yeah, I'm not sure what show
Speaker 3: it was, way back in the olden days.
Speaker 1: Well, you'll be happy to know that my middle name
Speaker 1: starts with an S, and so my first two initials
Speaker 1: are bs bullshit, which is could that not be more appropriate?
Speaker 1: And my first and last initial or BM, so I
Speaker 1: have the perfect initials to be a guy in talk radio.
Speaker 1: And my favorite quote, which you know Danny I brought.
Speaker 1: I bring it up every so often. My favorite quote
Speaker 1: from an old Hollywood star the early days of Hollywood,
Speaker 1: a comedian named W. C. Fields, who gave the quote,
Speaker 1: if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.
Speaker 1: And that is how I have lived my life and
Speaker 1: it is continued to this day. So I live my
Speaker 1: life like W. C. Field's joke back in that he
Speaker 1: had alive.
Speaker 3: I'm making him proud all these years later. Yeah.
Speaker 1: He is the guys that start every day off with
Speaker 1: a smile, so you can get it over with. Just
Speaker 1: get it over with right there. That's it. He also
Speaker 1: said I'm pree of all prejudiced. I hate everyone equally,
Speaker 1: so that was also a great line million million years ago.
Speaker 1: And I will remind you again there's a street if
Speaker 1: you ever go to Universal Studios that goes along the
Speaker 1: one oh one Freeway towards Universal Studios. It's got W. C.
Speaker 1: Field's name on it, which is which is kind of
Speaker 1: neat what else do we have to see? Page down,
Speaker 1: page down? Alf from the Melting Pot Rights in he says,
Speaker 1: do you guys have any good regional or ethnic ethnic
Speaker 1: words or phrases racist? For example, here in New England,
Speaker 1: chocolate sprinkles are often referred to as Jimmy's. But I
Speaker 1: know Ben had no clue what the hell I was
Speaker 1: talking about. In one of my riddle answers, says Another
Speaker 1: example is soda. Oh, here we go, dany, here we go. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Another example is soda, where some people refer to it
Speaker 1: as pop. My mother in law from the eastern part
Speaker 1: of Massachusetts called it tonic. Another one would be subs,

Speaker 1: it exactly it feels like. And sure it's like that's
Speaker 1: what a rabbit's ass feels like. Yeah, Mike, thanks for listening.

Speaker 1: Yeah, Matt from Cleveland? Right, since is a Ben and Danny?
Speaker 1: If you guys could have oh, here we go. Here's
Speaker 1: another stupid question. If you guys could have tentacles added
Speaker 1: your body, would you if Elon Musk could find a
Speaker 1: way to add tentacles, would.
Speaker 3: You have the procedure? Danny? I mean, what good would
Speaker 3: tentacles serve?
Speaker 1: Well, we actually kind of have one already, right, isn't
Speaker 1: our tongue kind of like a tentacle? I'm not some
Speaker 1: kind of nut liquor here, Like you can move it
Speaker 1: around and twist it and all that.
Speaker 3: If it was on your we're going to say are
Speaker 3: junk because when we try to turn sideways and fit
Speaker 3: through a small space, that's when you know if you
Speaker 3: fit or not.
Speaker 1: You want to work blue, you can work blue, Danny.
Speaker 1: Danny's working blue, not Dodger blue. A different kind of blue. Yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly if I say blue. But yeah, your tongue's kind
Speaker 1: of like a tentacle. Right, you can move it around
Speaker 1: a little bit and you can like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I'm good, I don't need a tentacle. If you want
Speaker 1: to call the tongue of tentacle. Okay, that's good, that's fine,
Speaker 1: but I don't need anymore. I'm good, right, I don't
Speaker 1: know you. I'm good on that. Anything else, what do
Speaker 1: we got? I'll be in tonight, but I know it's
Speaker 1: the holiday and all that wonderful stuff.
Speaker 3: I think a lot of our regular shows are working,
Speaker 3: though I saw on the schedule year working, Covino and
Speaker 3: Rich are going to be in their regular spot. I'm
Speaker 3: going to be there, so yeah, it should be a
Speaker 3: fun day at the network because Memorial Day, we're not
Speaker 3: out of town and you're not going anywhere, right.
Speaker 1: No, I'm I'm here, I'll be be sle Do you
Speaker 1: have to.
Speaker 3: Drive into the studios? Are you going to do it
Speaker 3: from your home studio?
Speaker 1: Well, we have a deal it's optional on the holiday,
Speaker 1: so it'll be a game time decision. Now, normally, would
Speaker 1: I I like you drive in? There's no traffic, but
Speaker 1: it's because I go in Sunday night for the overnight
Speaker 1: into Monday morning. Yeah, so there's usually the traffic is
Speaker 1: on Monday night people trying to get back from their
Speaker 1: long long vacation. But now the better question is today
Speaker 1: being Sunday, will you watch the greatest spectacle in racing,
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis five hundred, And I'm going to say that
Speaker 1: you will not be watching the Indianapolis five hundred today.
Speaker 3: It's actually something that I tune into each year, just
Speaker 3: like the horse races. Now, I will usually have it
Speaker 3: on in the background. I'm not glued to every second
Speaker 3: of it, but I do have it on.
Speaker 1: I've been to Indianapolis. I didn't go to the brickyard.
Speaker 3: I should have gone.
Speaker 1: Bad job by me. I went to an Indianapolis Indians game,
Speaker 1: the TRIAA team there in Indy and did some of
Speaker 1: the other Indianapolis stuff, but I did not get to
Speaker 1: the to the track the first Indy five hundred back
Speaker 1: in nineteen eleven, first one ever. Maybe five million people
Speaker 1: watched the Indy five hundred last.
Speaker 3: Year on a b See now, the winner of this
Speaker 3: race drinks milk. Yes, that is the milk race, or
Speaker 3: as you call it, the milk with an E.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you make one mistake, and ten years, ladies,
Speaker 1: you still bring it up here one mistake ten times.
Speaker 3: But here's the thing.
Speaker 1: If you were to point out to someone that came
Speaker 1: to America from New Zealand or Australia, or London or
Speaker 1: in the UK somewhere. What are the biggest traditional American
Speaker 1: sporting events. You'd have the super Bowl at the very top, yep,
Speaker 1: You'd have the Kentucky Derby, the Masters, and I would
Speaker 1: put the Indy five hundred right there that that is
Speaker 1: one of those sporting events my entire life anyway, that
Speaker 1: you always knew when Indy five hundred weekend was. You
Speaker 1: liked it because it was leading into the good part
Speaker 1: of the year with the weather, the super Bowl of course,
Speaker 1: you know, and the Masters and all that.
Speaker 3: So I always thought it was cool too when the
Speaker 3: winner would have the same the container that you get
Speaker 3: ojab the jug. Yeah, there's a name for there's a
Speaker 3: name for that, dang it. That word is on the
Speaker 3: tip of my tongue. Craft when they're holding the milk.
Speaker 3: As a little kid, I thought that was so cool
Speaker 3: because they were getting milk everywhere, spelling it. To this
Speaker 3: day you see highlights of the wind the Winter Circle
Speaker 3: with that. Well, it's the one thing my wife, he
Speaker 3: said that bothers her the She said, I only have
Speaker 3: one thing that that bugs her. She doesn't like it
Speaker 3: when she sees me eating a bowl of cereal with milk.
Speaker 3: You get away from me. She hates milk. Oh, she
Speaker 3: thinks it's gross. Sometimes with like a piece of toast
Speaker 3: and jelly, I'll have a little glass of cold milk.
Speaker 3: And she thinks it is the grossest thing when she
Speaker 3: sees someone drinking milk. Look at me sucking pilf and
Speaker 3: milk off a dierty coppet.
Speaker 1: Oh that's odd. I mean I don't like milk.
Speaker 3: I got a milk phobia.
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's a fun you want a fun fact, fun fact,
Speaker 1: the fun fact, the fun fact.
Speaker 3: Everyone alert, David Vasse, this is for alf. Do you
Speaker 3: know who Lewis Meyer is?
Speaker 1: No, you don't know. Louis Meyer won the Indianapolis five
Speaker 1: hundred in nineteen thirty six, and he drank a glass
Speaker 1: of buttermilk in Victory Lane after the race, and that
Speaker 1: began the tradition pretty much every.
Speaker 3: Year since Peter, all those goats on males, Well a bucket,
Speaker 3: you're full, and the goats you're happy.
Speaker 1: And did you know that the Indianapolis five hundred, because
Speaker 1: of a fuel shortage, did not run. They were canceled
Speaker 1: six times during World Wars because the fuel used needed
Speaker 1: to go to the war machine. But other than that,
Speaker 1: the race has taking place every year since nineteen eleven.
Speaker 3: Crazy, Now, what if the winning driver was lactose intolerant, Well,
Speaker 3: that would.
Speaker 1: Make it even more interesting, Danny, What did I mean?
Speaker 1: That would make it even more more exciting?
Speaker 3: Everybody?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Now, has anyone done chocolate milk? Or is it
Speaker 1: just the regular milk? Is anyone going? And it's not
Speaker 1: butter milk anymore? It's actual milk, right for a long time,
Speaker 1: but originally it was buttermilk.
Speaker 3: Now you're onto something. Chocolate milk is delicious.
Speaker 1: Ah, yeah, how about strawberry milk? You can do strawberry too.
Speaker 3: Strawberry chocolate's better.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, we'll get out on that. Have a
Speaker 1: wonderful the rest of your Sunday again. I'll be in
Speaker 1: tonight and all week as per the Fox Sports Radio schedule,
Speaker 1: and Danie'll be in as well, so we'll be here
Speaker 1: for the holiday. Have a wonderful time whatever you're doing
Speaker 1: the rest of the day and barbecue, have a good
Speaker 1: time whatever it is, and we'll talk to you. I'll
Speaker 1: be on tonight eleven o'clock in the west, two am
Speaker 1: in the east. Will be yapping away with you.
Speaker 3: Happy barbecue. And later skater gotta murder, I gotta go
