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 sol fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to clearinghouse of
Speaker 2: hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
Speaker 2: with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Speaker 1: Maller and Danny G Radio a Glorious NFL Week fifteen.
Speaker 1: As we are recording this early in the morning on Sunday,
Speaker 1: the fourteenth day of December, and let the games begin,
Speaker 1: Danny G. We will see Philip Rivers play quarterback for
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts later today in Seattle at age forty four.
Speaker 1: And I said this week on the radio show, I
Speaker 1: want to get your take on this, Danny, because I said,
Speaker 1: all these people, ah, the Philip Rivers Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: is his induction is going to be delayed. He's not
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame quarterback, none of my book. He's
Speaker 1: not a Hall of Fame quarterback.
Speaker 3: He sure feels like a Derek Bartzite to.
Speaker 1: Me, exactly exactly. He's not a great He was a
Speaker 1: terrible big game quarterback, never an All Pro. He was
Speaker 1: a stat compiler. Listen, he hadn't made a ton of money,
Speaker 1: had a good career, But you don't put everybody in
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3: You don't.
Speaker 1: You don't have to put everyone in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4: In very clutch situations, he would throw the ball directly
Speaker 4: to the other team.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I that's what I'm saying. He just didn't
Speaker 1: play one big games, played a long time, never was
Speaker 1: a first or second team All Pro. Usually the baseline
Speaker 1: for a Hall of Fame career, you got to be
Speaker 1: an All Pro at least one time. You got to
Speaker 1: be an MVP if you're you know, in that conversation,
Speaker 1: he was always and I think I said this in
Speaker 1: the monologue we did this week or last week Rivers,
Speaker 1: like every year was the fourth or fifth rated quarterback
Speaker 1: in the end, there was always like Drew Brees, Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning or someone else would be in there. His
Speaker 1: entire run in the NFL. Anyway, So it's like he's
Speaker 1: not really sacrificing the Hall of Fame because he's he's
Speaker 1: not going to get it now. If something crazy happens
Speaker 1: and the Colts do some ridiculous thing, then that would
Speaker 1: actually enhance his Hall of Fame career if he actually
Speaker 1: won a bunch of playoff games and was the reason
Speaker 1: that they won. Don't hold your breath, don't. Yeah, And anyway, well,
Speaker 1: that's fine. I'll be watching that. Also the the ram
Speaker 1: that's a big game Rams and Lions today at Sofi
Speaker 1: or Sofa Stadium as Helmet Man likes to call it.
Speaker 1: So we'll check that out. And you're Raiders, Danny. What
Speaker 1: can be said about the Raiders. It hasn't already been
Speaker 1: said about the Raiders.
Speaker 4: You know, I don't don't think that any Pickett is
Speaker 4: anything for the Eagles to worry too much about. Although
Speaker 4: those two drives, even though they were at the end
Speaker 4: of the game, but I was there, Broncos were not
Speaker 4: trying to let him score. Those two drives from Kenny
Speaker 4: Pickett were better than Geno Smith's entire season. Helloy, Oh,
Speaker 4: it's true though, Like he escaped the pocket, he didn't
Speaker 4: go down and take stupid sacks.
Speaker 3: He threw the ball away.
Speaker 4: He looked like an NFL quarterback compared to your boy, Gino.
Speaker 1: My boy. Yes, me and Gino go way back.
Speaker 3: You guys have history.
Speaker 1: We do have a history together. Yeah yeah, Hey, hey,
Speaker 1: I saw the Eagles. I was at the Eagle Charger game,
Speaker 1: and they suck. Okay. The fact that the Chargers didn't
Speaker 1: blow the Eagles out had to go to overtime is
Speaker 1: one of the great mysteries of the Western world. Okay.
Speaker 1: The Eagles turned the ball over, Yeah, five times, and
Speaker 1: they twice. I saw it for the first time ever.
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts turned the ball over twice on the same
Speaker 1: play threw an intercept. Chargers still should have lost that game.
Speaker 4: I mean, I was surprised Hurt's got them that far
Speaker 4: down the field before his fifth turnover.
Speaker 1: Don't say anything bad about Justin Herbert. You're not allowed
Speaker 1: to criticize Justin Herbert. Do not criticize Justin Herbert.
Speaker 3: Do not do it.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, hey, ohio wow, can you get me
Speaker 1: in the mood for the mail bag? Ohioo please, it's.
Speaker 3: This bag.
Speaker 1: See, that's how we do it. That is how we
Speaker 1: get it done here on a on a Sunday. So
Speaker 1: let's these are actual questions by actually listening to Doff.
Speaker 1: You want to send a question in for a future
Speaker 1: edition of the mail Bag as the year winds down,
Speaker 1: Send it care of Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com.
Speaker 1: Jot that down Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. No,
Speaker 1: no numbers, all letters, Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com.
Speaker 1: Name in city, name and city, name and city if
Speaker 1: you want edit. If not, we'll just bust your balls.
Speaker 1: And who wants that? All right? First up is Reggie
Speaker 1: from Detroit, who sends an email. I says, hey, Ben
Speaker 1: and Danny. Ben, it's almost the worst time of the year,
Speaker 1: he says, for fans of sports radio, please let the
Speaker 1: malin Militia know your holiday schedule. Thanks Reggie, Well, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Let's put away. I know some of my
Speaker 1: holiday schedule. I will be working the entire week this week.
Speaker 1: I'll be on tonight and all week. I have been
Speaker 1: requested by the company to use some of my alloted time.
Speaker 1: As you know, I work pretty much every holiday during
Speaker 1: the year, and since I've been at the company for
Speaker 1: a long time, Danny, I've been grandfathered into these things
Speaker 1: called comp days. When you work a holiday, they give
Speaker 1: you like an extra day because they I think I
Speaker 1: think they do that because they know I almost never
Speaker 1: use them, so I am going to use some at
Speaker 1: the end of the year, try to reset the buttons
Speaker 1: a little bit. I think we'll still do the podcast
Speaker 1: because it's a podcast, can do whatever you want, and
Speaker 1: so I think we'll still do that, Reggie. But I
Speaker 1: will the full week this week, and I think we'll
Speaker 1: do a partial week the week after, and then that'll
Speaker 1: probably be it until we come back after twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: So that's my schedule, Dan, Are you taking any time
Speaker 1: off from at the end of the year.
Speaker 3: Here, not a lot.
Speaker 4: I'm going to mirror CNRS schedule Christmas Eve for the
Speaker 4: Dan Patrick Show, and then right after Christmas a couple
Speaker 4: of more days in for Dan Patrick. So whatever we
Speaker 4: have off from the afternoon show is because we're working
Speaker 4: on the morning shift.
Speaker 1: Gotcha, gotcha? All right? Well, i'll let you know next weekend, Reggie.
Speaker 1: I'll make sure because I know Alf has been busting
Speaker 1: my chops. A lot of these guys, Nanny, Alf and Fergdog.
Speaker 1: If I'm not working, they sleep, they don't stay up
Speaker 1: at nights, very odd. I appreciate their loyalty. They're fine men. Yeah,
Speaker 1: tastes like a touchdown in your mouth. I guess so
Speaker 1: Kevin in Kansas, right Sinces, dear men, and Danny. I
Speaker 1: have a betting question for you.
Speaker 3: Ben.
Speaker 1: If the line is at minus six and a half
Speaker 1: at the time, you do Benny versus the penny. But
Speaker 1: when I watched the line is now minus six, what
Speaker 1: strategy should I be using? Thanks for help. That's from
Speaker 1: Kevin in Kansas. It depends Kevin. Yeah, that's not a
Speaker 1: huge difference. The big difference is three, three and a
Speaker 1: half seven seven and a half. That's a big deal.
Speaker 1: Six and six and a half is not that big
Speaker 1: a deal. It really isn't in the big picture. The
Speaker 1: key numbers are three and seven, and if you don't
Speaker 1: want to if it's three and a half. The hardest
Speaker 1: line over the years has been three and a half.
Speaker 1: You think, who cares about a half point? But when
Speaker 1: it's three and a half, it's usually three, And at
Speaker 1: seven and a half, you know it's usually you know,
Speaker 1: seven seven and a half's a big one too.
Speaker 3: So what if Pete Carroll is coaching in the game.
Speaker 1: I love Pete. I saw Portnoy over there at barstool.
Speaker 1: Wanted Pete Carroll murdered or whatever. I was like, I
Speaker 1: wanted to get Peter Rays. I was like, I had
Speaker 1: the Raiders. That was great coaching by Pete Cavin Hug.
Speaker 3: You know what's underrated.
Speaker 4: I saw thousands of sad Broncos fans leave Allegiant Stadium.
Speaker 4: They actually won the game, but they lost their bets.
Speaker 4: They were all boothooing into the parking lot. It was great,
Speaker 4: that's awesome.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, the Broncos. There was tons of money. It's
Speaker 1: just like free money. The Raiders suck and the Broncos
Speaker 1: are good, and yeah, that's uh.
Speaker 3: I was I loved it. Broncos fans suck it.
Speaker 1: Well, that was Pete doing the old college thing. You know, Danny,
Speaker 1: you know this in college football, you really need to
Speaker 1: cover the spread because the alumni bet on that. And
Speaker 1: if you cover the spread, now you need to win obviously.
Speaker 1: But as we like to say on Benny Versus the Penny,
Speaker 1: which is still available on YouTube at Benny Vspenny, you
Speaker 1: can watch this week's episode on Benny Versus the Penny.
Speaker 1: But we pointed out, it's like, hey, good teams win,
Speaker 1: great teams cover the spread. So the Raiders last week
Speaker 1: were a great team. They didn't win. But they were
Speaker 1: a great team because they covered the spread and people
Speaker 1: losing their minds at Pete Carroll. Dave in Jersey writes
Speaker 1: in and says, hey, Ben and Danny, g did you
Speaker 1: see what happened to Taylor Swift? This fits right in, Ben,
Speaker 1: with what you had talked about in a previous fifth Hour.
Speaker 1: I actually didn't see this, dev I guess Danny, he
Speaker 1: sent me a story here says Taylor Swift branded a
Speaker 1: Nazi in a coordinated online attack. Okay, says pop star
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift facing an organized attempt to brand her a Nazi,
Speaker 1: she launched her latest album. But the experts tracking the
Speaker 1: attack to accounts it was a targeted campaign. So Dave,
Speaker 1: I did not see this story. I am not surprised
Speaker 1: by this. I have often pointed out that the greatest hustle,
Speaker 1: as I like to call it, is the online world
Speaker 1: and things. This I mean, it is truly the matrix
Speaker 1: Danny that you can It can make it appear like
Speaker 1: there's thousands of people that think Taylor Swift is a Nazi,
Speaker 1: when it's really just a group in Maldova that have
Speaker 1: a bunch of bots that just attack and it's it's
Speaker 1: rather scary. The power of that. And you know it's
Speaker 1: the Remember when I was in school and I was
Speaker 1: reading actually I was reading a book about infomercials and
Speaker 1: they were talking about and it's really for anything but
Speaker 1: sales in general, and the perception people have when it's
Speaker 1: that group mob mentality, when they think everyone's going one direction.
Speaker 1: Some people join into that that wouldn't normally join into
Speaker 1: that because they're like, everyone's do it. Do it. It's
Speaker 1: kind of like if you open a restaurant, Danny and
Speaker 1: and you want to get people kind of buzzed up.
Speaker 1: You have people there looking like they're eating right, maybe
Speaker 1: they're friends and family, but other people will then show up, Oh,
Speaker 1: this place is popular. Or the greatest example of that,
Speaker 1: we talked about that on the fifth out or the
Speaker 1: shopping cart in I think it was Oklahoma City. When
Speaker 1: they debuted shopping carts or buggies or whatever they're called.
Speaker 1: People then want to use them because it was very masculine.
Speaker 1: It was masculine for the men and the women didn't
Speaker 1: want to use them either, And so what they did
Speaker 1: is they hired really hot women and really hot men
Speaker 1: to walk seriously, to walk around the store with the
Speaker 1: cart and they oh.
Speaker 4: Extra, so I buy, yeah extras. Remember it's the old
Speaker 4: joke about the Bass Lake fishing derby. There would be
Speaker 4: that same boat that would keep passing bias and the
Speaker 4: two guys were holding up the supposed fish that they
Speaker 4: caught in the lake.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, I remember that. Yeah. Yeah. You just
Speaker 1: still do that every year, right, you and the family.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's a bunch of bullshit. They did not
Speaker 4: pull those fish out of that lake.
Speaker 1: That's great, Thank you, Dave. Next up is Scott from Florida.
Speaker 1: He says, hey, Ben and Danny. As a champion for
Speaker 1: radio and also a champion of radio, is there anything
Speaker 1: that is broadcast over the radio that makes you instantly
Speaker 1: reach to change the channel or turn it off. That
Speaker 1: is from Scott in Florida. So Scott, I, as I
Speaker 1: pointed out, I try to do my own thing. I
Speaker 1: love radio, I love all broadcasting. It's been my entire
Speaker 1: adult life. I hope to do it the rest of
Speaker 1: my time here, and I have a great time with it.
Speaker 1: But I try not to listen to a lot of
Speaker 1: really any sports. I mean, occasionally all listen to something.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say never, okay, But I really don't. I
Speaker 1: want to do my own thing. And I know even
Speaker 1: if I I'm listening and I'd be like, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna live. I'm not gonna take any from everybody, but
Speaker 1: just by osmosis, you know what I mean, Danny. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you hear something and then it just kind of comes
Speaker 1: out of you. So if I don't listen to it,
Speaker 1: it's hard for me to copy something that someone else
Speaker 1: is doing if I'm not hearing it. But just in general, Scott,
Speaker 1: if I'll hear occasionally like on Local I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: name anybody because I know some of these people, but
Speaker 1: Local LA Radio. When I know a team deserves to
Speaker 1: be just fricking destroyed and they're just kissing their ass,
Speaker 1: that drives me nuts. I can't handle that. I mean,
Speaker 1: I just yeah, because I know they're on the take,
Speaker 1: meaning they you know, they're connected to some I just
Speaker 1: that stuff drives me nuts because that's not how I
Speaker 1: do it, and I'm annoyed by that. But other than that,
Speaker 1: I you know, it's fine. Everyone's got their own act.
Speaker 1: I don't you know, I might people hate me. I
Speaker 1: don't really get whatever. Each each to their own and
Speaker 1: that would that would really be the only thing that
Speaker 1: kind of gets under my my skin when you're clearly sugarcoating,
Speaker 1: and a lot of that's just like postgame stuff on
Speaker 1: postgame shows where they're you know, they're not necessarily employed
Speaker 1: by the team, but they have to cover.
Speaker 3: For the team mandated content.
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly. Next up, boy, this person did not send
Speaker 1: their name, will call them douchebag. I no, I don't
Speaker 1: just even put his name, just put his email. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to give that out. It's an AOL account,
Speaker 1: so it's probably an old person. I'm kidding. No, I'm not.
Speaker 1: Ben Benny and Daddy g Hey, Ben, do you think
Speaker 1: President Trump needs to take a class from Tom Looney
Speaker 1: on how to handle the penny? Then he sent me
Speaker 1: a clip here from the Army Navy game as President
Speaker 1: Trump stunning. The headline on this is stunning inability to
Speaker 1: flip a coin worst in history. And there's even there's
Speaker 1: a link. Your boy, Klay Travis Trump did the impossible.
Speaker 1: He flipped the coin without it flipping.
Speaker 3: The penny was made in China, China.
Speaker 1: You know I didn't see this. Whoever, I don't know
Speaker 1: your name. You didn't sign your name, but I did
Speaker 1: watch the second half of the Army Navy game on sibbios.
Speaker 1: I did not the coin flip. My friend, the Great
Speaker 1: Sports with Coleman Baltimore Media Mogul was there and he
Speaker 1: got their way before the President to try to avoid
Speaker 1: the security. He was sending me photos from the Army
Speaker 1: Navy game. I did not see the coin toss in
Speaker 1: real time. That is that is great. I don't know
Speaker 1: what do you want to say? It's I think flipping
Speaker 1: a coin would not be that difficult, But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, just got a lot going on. The president. Man,
Speaker 1: come on, he's seventy nine.
Speaker 3: What do you want?
Speaker 1: What do you want him to do? But yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know what else I can add to that. It
Speaker 1: was pretty I saw the clip. It was not the
Speaker 1: greatest coin flip I've ever seen.
Speaker 3: It.
Speaker 1: Not great. So anyway, that's your buddy.
Speaker 3: It was a historic coin flip, very very very memorable.
Speaker 1: Exactly, Steve writes in from Parts Unknown. Another one didn't
Speaker 1: sign their city. Steve says, hey, Ben and Danny, you guys,
Speaker 1: you guys anywhere near this? And then he's sent me
Speaker 1: a link to Death Valley National Park big headline here
Speaker 1: Steve found this story. This says an ancient lake that
Speaker 1: disappeared from a California National park more than one hundred
Speaker 1: thousand years ago has dramatically returned because of record breaking rainfall.
Speaker 1: A massive ice lake roughly one hundred miles long six
Speaker 1: hundred feet deep, dried up between one hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: eight thousand and one hundred and eighty six thousand years ago.
Speaker 1: That says, here's the climate warmed, and it's in the
Speaker 1: present day national or Death Valley National Park, and.
Speaker 4: It's the exact opposite of what's going on with the
Speaker 4: Colorado River. I just saw an article yesterday where a
Speaker 4: guy walked across the Colorado River because it's so shallow
Speaker 4: right now in parts of it.
Speaker 1: That's not ideal. That's not ideal. The National Park Service
Speaker 1: revealing the area had its wettest fall season on record
Speaker 1: and the rare return of the body of water. So
Speaker 1: I did not see this, Steve. I have driven through
Speaker 1: Death Valley many times on my way to Lost Wadges, Nevada.
Speaker 1: I have not stopped in Death Valley. But this is
Speaker 1: always the argument, right, Danny. The argument is people get
Speaker 1: all freaked out that one of the great hustles of
Speaker 1: our time is the climate change hustle, because we only
Speaker 1: have a very limited amount of data on weather as
Speaker 1: far as we can trace it as humans, you know,
Speaker 1: keeping trager stuff. So the planet's obviously been around for
Speaker 1: a lot longer than us, and so who knows the
Speaker 1: cycles of the planet and all that stuff. So there
Speaker 1: have been books written about how what a great scam
Speaker 1: that a lot of that stuff is. So, but thank
Speaker 1: you Steve for that that story Andy from this is
Speaker 1: the mail bag here. By the way, Andy from South
Speaker 1: Carolina rights and I wonder if I met Andy at
Speaker 1: the mal Or meet and greet we did there in Charleston.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: He doesn't say, and I don't remember. I don't remember him. Anyway,
Speaker 1: it says I've been and Dani, uh you guys okay
Speaker 1: with this? And then he sent me, uh, send me
Speaker 1: a story here, Danny of cats now taking ozempik, a
Speaker 1: solution to terminal feline illnesses. They're giving now cats ozempa.
Speaker 4: Wow, I might want to look into this because our cat,
Speaker 4: we have a cat and a dog, my cat Mac.
Speaker 3: He has a heart murmur. Oh got, he's got a
Speaker 3: little bit of heart disease. Going on.
Speaker 4: So when he sleeps, you should hear her. It sounds
Speaker 4: like he has sleep apnea.
Speaker 1: Sounds like hollering James, Yes.
Speaker 4: Pretty much. So he needs to lose weight. I might
Speaker 4: want to look into this, all.
Speaker 1: Right, I'll send you. I'll send you the story here.
Speaker 1: I wonder, can you imagine how much that costs?
Speaker 3: Oh boy, yeah, that was gonna say, will my insurance
Speaker 3: cover it?
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, sure, Well just you get there for me.
Speaker 3: I swear it's for me.
Speaker 1: You get the ozempic and then just try to figure
Speaker 1: out just don't give the you know, the too much
Speaker 1: that says a med's company and then named it. This
Speaker 1: pharmaceutic company announced that first clinical child, dubbed me ow
Speaker 1: one for Feline blah blah blah, was a success. So
Speaker 1: there you go, send out a press release. I sent
Speaker 1: you the story there, so who knows. Now, I got Moxie.
Speaker 1: Moxie's a big fat English bulldog and uh yeah, we
Speaker 1: don't want to give epic. Moxi's okay, just sleeps twenty
Speaker 1: hours a day, so I don't think Moxie moves around
Speaker 1: enough to get into that. But thank you Andy. If
Speaker 1: people have the money, I'm sure it's not cheap. Knock
Speaker 1: yourself out.
Speaker 3: My vet told me that she could recommend a heart specialist.
Speaker 1: Oh goody, I.
Speaker 3: Said, yeah, let me get right on top of that. Wow.
Speaker 1: Uh, let's see you. Tony from the Bay Area says, hey, Danny,
Speaker 1: are you ready to move the family borough? And then
Speaker 1: he sent a story here a town in it Italy.
Speaker 1: Danny is offering thirty thousand dollars to move Italian town
Speaker 1: with wine cheese. They've got a bunch of vacant villas
Speaker 1: and they offer people that move into the there thirty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars to move in this town in Italy. So
Speaker 1: you could take co and the wife and live in
Speaker 1: a villa in Italy. They'll give you thousand dollars. Of course,
Speaker 1: I'm sure the taxes will each year. You know what
Speaker 1: where is this? Let's see here Tuscany. How about that?
Speaker 1: The Hills of Tuscany, small medieval town and the Hills
Speaker 1: of Tuscany giving out financial incentives. I'm not even going
Speaker 1: to try to pronounce this. I don't speak the native
Speaker 1: tongue there, and I will butcher it. Village offering twenty
Speaker 1: three four hundred dollars to anyone who's willing to buy
Speaker 1: and live in one of their vacant houses, plus an
Speaker 1: extra seven thousand dollars towards expenses like heating and transportation.
Speaker 1: It's look at about an hour south of Florence, and
Speaker 1: they've expanded this and the plan. The plan is to
Speaker 1: help cover half of the first two years of rent
Speaker 1: for new renters who move in by early twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1: There you go town Nice found, once home to three
Speaker 1: thousand residents, today's population less than a thousand. Wow. They
Speaker 1: say they have about one hundred to four hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty homes that are are vacant.
Speaker 3: So I would do it. Man.
Speaker 4: After radio, I would definitely go to the homeland my
Speaker 4: dad's side of the family. They're from Altavilla Milisea in Sicily.
Speaker 4: In fact, I have cousins that own a wine bar
Speaker 4: there and my uncle and his wife moved there for
Speaker 4: retirement a year ago.
Speaker 1: That's cool.
Speaker 3: They like it, they love it. Yeah, they'd want to
Speaker 3: come back.
Speaker 1: Nice. There you go, says Prices starting at about fifty
Speaker 1: thousand euros sixty thousand dollars for small units, up to
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventeen for larger homes one hundred and
Speaker 1: seventeen thousand. It seems like it's cheaper than here.
Speaker 4: I think we would feel stuck without NFL, Like it's
Speaker 4: just too much soccer as far as the sports landscape goes.
Speaker 1: You'd have to get a black box or something like that,
Speaker 1: you know, magic box to.
Speaker 3: Watch this, sir, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Andrew from Seattle writes in it says, hey, guys, porn
Speaker 1: Hub announced this week that more women than ever are
Speaker 1: watching porn, and then he sent me the story here
Speaker 1: he wanted to get our thoughts on it. It's blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: Let me kind of scan through this. Twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: the fairer sex Danny made up thirty eight percent of
Speaker 1: all visitors to.
Speaker 4: The Yeah, I read an article on this and a
Speaker 4: bunch of the freaky dec women are looking up threesomes?
Speaker 1: Is that right? How about that?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a fourteen percent surge since twenty fifteen.
Speaker 3: According to the story.
Speaker 1: So how about that? The women there coming around to
Speaker 1: the porno unbelievable And that means that must mean there's
Speaker 1: less dudes watching the porn, right if the am I
Speaker 1: wrong on reading it that way? If there's more.
Speaker 4: Women or there's a lot of weieni dudes that aren't
Speaker 4: handling their females properly.
Speaker 1: Hello, Yeah, says they've noticed.
Speaker 3: A bunch of wenuses.
Speaker 1: Here's a quote from the company is that over the
Speaker 1: last decade, our statisticians have been tracking the proportion of
Speaker 1: female visitors to Pornhub. They have noticed an upward trend
Speaker 1: over the years, putting into question the dated umbrella statement
Speaker 1: it's only men who watch porn there you go, Well,
Speaker 1: because I worked at pornhub, I'd say the same thing, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, you want to get the audience to how
Speaker 1: do they know by the way, you don't click. Hey,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've been on a why but you
Speaker 1: don't click? Like I'm a man or a woman?
Speaker 3: Do you?
Speaker 1: I don't know. How do they know who's on there?
Speaker 3: How can you? Hell? Yeah, no, I think it.
Speaker 4: I think it might ask you your your sexual reference
Speaker 4: as far as you know, well, yeah exactly, like yeah,
Speaker 4: what team you you hit for? But other than that,
Speaker 4: I I don't know either how it can tell if
Speaker 4: you're a man or a woman.
Speaker 1: Skeptical of that, I don't know about that.
Speaker 3: Blue.
Speaker 4: Let's see what else do we have here? Not a
Speaker 4: site I'm on either, though, so we could be wrong.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have other.
Speaker 3: Sites that we we use.
Speaker 4: Let's see all right, Yeah, Fox Sports Radio dot Com.
Speaker 4: That's what I'm on every day, all day long.
Speaker 1: My favorite porn say absolutely yes, Mike Bike rides in
Speaker 1: from Parts Unknown.
Speaker 4: Hang on, Ben, I I'm entering on it for for
Speaker 4: this is for research purposes onlytional purposes, of course.
Speaker 3: It says I am eighteen or older? Okay, enter?
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, nothing on their side about if you're a
Speaker 4: man or a woman or anything to enter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So how the heck do
Speaker 1: they know?
Speaker 3: I mean, that's a good question.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: This could all just be made up.
Speaker 1: Mike writes, and he says, the I know the college
Speaker 1: football season's whining down? Got well, yeah, not whining Now
Speaker 1: we had?
Speaker 3: Was it?
Speaker 1: The LA Bowl was playing on Saturday?
Speaker 3: The LA Bowl? My god.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Boise State and Washington Boys got their ass kicked right,
Speaker 4: and there was a dozen dozens of people at Sofi State,
Speaker 4: friends of friends and family.
Speaker 1: But it's it's for TV. Mike wanted to get our
Speaker 1: thoughts on the Big twelve, partnering with a couple of
Speaker 1: like Wall Street people, Right, investment people, five hundred million
Speaker 1: dollars in funding available to members of the Big twelve.
Speaker 1: The deal is, I guess not quite done yet. I
Speaker 1: know this. The Big ten was talking about doing this.
Speaker 1: I think this is a terrible idea, Nanny these conferences,
Speaker 1: because you're sacrificing future revenue for short, short term cash.
Speaker 1: As I understand it, I'm certainly not mister financial. I
Speaker 1: do an overnight talk show, so I don't really know
Speaker 1: that much about money. Otherwise they do a daytime talk show.
Speaker 1: But it just seems like it's a bad idea. It
Speaker 1: reminds me of the City of Chicago took some front
Speaker 1: money to give where some country in the Middle East
Speaker 1: controls the parking meters in Chicago the revenue for like
Speaker 1: one hundred years, one hundred years or something like that,
Speaker 1: but they took money up front. And I think it's
Speaker 1: a similar thing where you're trading long term financial stability
Speaker 1: for immediate money. It's like a it's a payday loan essentially,
Speaker 1: That's what I understand, and so short term it's kind
Speaker 1: of like the Dodgers. The Dodgers are paying all these
Speaker 1: guys for twenty years after they're done playing, which is
Speaker 1: great now of Eventually though, they're gonna have to pay
Speaker 1: them and Otani and all these guys, and then they're
Speaker 1: also going to have to pay a team on the field,
Speaker 1: so it becomes a long term liability, short term gain. Again,
Speaker 1: that's what the way I see it, Mike, I I'd
Speaker 1: have to read more into it. That's just my knee
Speaker 1: jerk reaction. And uh, you know, there's there's also some
Speaker 1: political stuff involved in this. The uh, once you have
Speaker 1: Congress years about this, they're going to start kind of
Speaker 1: poking around. That becomes a problem. Then you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to pay off Congressman, which is part of the deal.
Speaker 1: And uh so yeah.
Speaker 3: For CoA.
Speaker 4: CoA, when he gets to be an adult, he's going
Speaker 4: to be like, man, this this baseball team I was
Speaker 4: born into.
Speaker 3: They stink. What was my dad thinking?
Speaker 1: I mean, well, when you were very little, they won
Speaker 1: the World Series every year.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Otani won seven m vps. But now they're cupboards beer.
Speaker 1: I know, you know a Tani too. It was gonna
Speaker 1: be like, you know, they'll suck after he's done, and
Speaker 1: they'll be like, you know, much like the Dodgers from
Speaker 1: like eighty nine until twenty ten, it was on. Here's
Speaker 1: Kirk Gibson, Here's orl Herscha Fernando. They bring all these
Speaker 1: old guys back because they didn't have anybody that was
Speaker 1: any good at that time. They really want to celebrate.
Speaker 1: What else do you? Josh from Phoenix rites in. He says, guys,
Speaker 1: I live here in Phoenix and in Chandler, Arizona, a
Speaker 1: suburb of Phoenix, the city celebrating the Hollys. Here they
Speaker 1: have a giant Christmas tree made out of tumbleweeds, and
Speaker 1: he wants to know a thumbs up or thumbs down,
Speaker 1: as you would ask Ben, guys, what do you think
Speaker 1: of this?
Speaker 3: So? I know Chandler, that's the home of Cody Bellinger.
Speaker 1: There you go Aunt Spring Training, home of the Milwaukee Brewers.
Speaker 1: I think I think the Brewers there. So they say
Speaker 1: here they have city workers chase anywhere between fifteen in
Speaker 1: two thousand tumbleweeds, and then they spent four weeks fitting
Speaker 1: the tumbleweeds around a chicken wire mold. They then have
Speaker 1: to coat the tree with paint. They have to also
Speaker 1: fire retardant. They put glitter around it. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's different. It's different.
Speaker 4: Josh I love that there's a lot of work to
Speaker 4: go through for some damn tumbleweeds.
Speaker 1: I do like the fact that it's an evasive species
Speaker 1: from Russia that came over on a shipment to like
Speaker 1: Iowa or something, or South Dakota. We talked about that
Speaker 1: on the Fifth Hour a while back, and America did
Speaker 1: not have tumbleweed until a shipment from Russia. And it
Speaker 1: started one shipment and now it's everywhere. It's freaking nuts.
Speaker 1: Al from the Suggestion Boxes Holiday Greetings, gentlemen, following up
Speaker 1: on my Evergreen Drop podcast suggestion how an updated Evergreen
Speaker 1: Malar Holiday Song Podcast. These tunes are often a bit
Speaker 1: longer than you can play on the radio. That's from Alf.
Speaker 1: It's a good idea we could do like a weekend
Speaker 1: where we do the Drop podcast and uh song podcast.
Speaker 3: Danny, if you're yeah, maybe alf would like to put
Speaker 3: all that together.
Speaker 1: Alf you're good with that. Alf Al says she's nodding
Speaker 1: and said yes, ALF would absolutely do it. Ryan from Shrewsbury,
Speaker 1: mass Right since says hey Ben and Danny g Ben
Speaker 1: I have been noticing on the overnight that the callers
Speaker 1: are making their campaigns for Caller of the year already,
Speaker 1: I was wondering would you ever make a new category
Speaker 1: for Emailer of the Year. Would you combine both the
Speaker 1: Overnight show and the pod together or would you rather
Speaker 1: just keep the two things separate? Apologies if there already
Speaker 1: is an Emailer of the Year award. Also, does Loraina
Speaker 1: actually hate Mike the Leprechaun or is it all for show?
Speaker 1: I thought it was funny love hate storyline, but the
Speaker 1: more I listen, I'm thinking she really does not like him.
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? Much Love, Ryan from Shrewsbury.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I have no idea.
Speaker 1: I met Mike. I like Michael leprekun is a nice guy.
Speaker 1: We like busting his balls. I like busting his balls
Speaker 1: because he seems to be able to take it pretty well.
Speaker 1: And he's a great character on the show, and people
Speaker 1: either love him or hate him, and he does love
Speaker 1: the show. He actually listens and takes notes, and I'm
Speaker 1: honored that he's that into the show. We like kind
Speaker 1: of busting his chops, I do. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: really talked to Lorna about it, so I couldn't answer
Speaker 1: that she does seem to not like him, though I
Speaker 1: would agree, so neither her or Coop were there the
Speaker 1: night that Mike showed up twelve hours early to work
Speaker 1: to try to meet me, So I don't know what
Speaker 1: that's about. Ferg Dog and Fullerton writes in he says, hey,
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny G. First, I have to say how
Speaker 1: much I like Ohio Wow's new holiday song, especially since
Speaker 1: it mentions me. But it's not accurate to set the
Speaker 1: record straight. Only ever licked Ben's toes once, not twice.
Speaker 1: He says, I'm also a big fan of Rick and
Speaker 1: Maryland song minus the terrible, terrible editing. Whoever put that
Speaker 1: in the system needs to be fired asap morning time. Uh,
Speaker 1: And he says, Danny G. Do you know what it
Speaker 1: means to work blue? He said, sadly, not a single
Speaker 1: one of the Benetts did. He said, besides the old
Speaker 1: all time greats, are there any current comedians you guys
Speaker 1: like that are known for working blue?
Speaker 4: You don't know either, Oh my god, I'm the only
Speaker 4: working blue. No, I've heard this before. Yeah, this is uh,
Speaker 4: this is stand up comedy, right, Well, yeah, it's like
Speaker 4: off color.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, it's uh. It goes back to I guess
Speaker 1: in the South they're using profane uh, you know, on
Speaker 1: the edge.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like we're ski right, Yeah, yeah, but I think it.
Speaker 1: Has some of the Blue Laws to I kind of
Speaker 1: a feeling that that that also is involved. There was
Speaker 1: a man, I'm trying to think I remember the name
Speaker 1: of it. There was a famous comedian that kept getting arrested.
Speaker 1: Lenny Bruce kept getting arrested, and I guess it was
Speaker 1: somebody before him, but the term I remember hearing it
Speaker 1: about Lenny Bruce. He kept working blue and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: But according to the Internet, there was a comedian named
Speaker 1: Max Miller who coined the phrase after his stage act
Speaker 1: was involved in telling jokes from either a white book
Speaker 1: or a blue book. And there was that and then
Speaker 1: apparently some other theories on how it came out.
Speaker 4: That's interesting because I've heard it before. I didn't have
Speaker 4: any idea where it came from or why people would
Speaker 4: say that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had heard a different version than that, So
Speaker 1: who knows what the real version is.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: But as far as comedians go, yeah, I do go
Speaker 1: out to the improv occasionally. I guess the guy that
Speaker 1: I think is pretty good, God, he does a good
Speaker 1: Trump impersonation. Is it Shane Gillis. Is that the guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's real funny.
Speaker 1: And there's another one. I got to give this guy.
Speaker 1: I gotta give this guy love here. Hold let me
Speaker 1: let me find him here because he's a mallard. He's
Speaker 1: a mallard of militia guy, and you know any mallard
Speaker 1: of militia guys we got to support in comedy. Because
Speaker 1: this guy's a big time comedian and he's on He's
Speaker 1: been on the Joe Rogan podcast. Sam Triplei is his name.
Speaker 3: Have you heard?
Speaker 1: Sam Tripley is a stand up comedy guy.
Speaker 3: Actually I do know that name.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a big sports radio listener. He's a big
Speaker 1: sports radio guy who listens to the show overnight, leaving
Speaker 1: comedy gigs and stuff like that. He's got a big
Speaker 1: podcast himself, So we should get him on here. At
Speaker 1: some point I should reach out to him and see
Speaker 1: if we'll come on. But yeah, Sam Tripley is very funny,
Speaker 1: and he's also.
Speaker 4: Shane Gillis has been in our living room for saying,
Speaker 4: as Andrew Schultz, there's quite a few good stand up
Speaker 4: comedians right now. There's no like Dave Chappelle at the moment,
Speaker 4: but there's a lot of like B level guys that
Speaker 4: are really good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I've enjoyed I got a hook up at
Speaker 1: the Hollywood Improv. One of my wife's friends works there
Speaker 1: and very kind to us. And let's us come out
Speaker 1: for a reasonable amount of money, and yeah, there'd be
Speaker 1: some really good comedy. I don't I'm very bad with
Speaker 1: names though, I'm bad with names. Pontoon Pops right, since says, hey,
Speaker 1: big news to the Worcester mass listeners preparing for the
Speaker 1: arrival of raising canes, have a good holiday season. Well,

Speaker 1: other sounds like hisses, growls, purrs, chirps, and distinct yowls
Speaker 1: and catterwalls.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I heard about the chirping part of this because CoA
Speaker 4: has been endlessly watching on YouTube these videos about the
Speaker 4: animal Kingdom. And this is a fact that was on
Speaker 4: just a couple of days ago down in the g
