Speaker 1: Cut booms.
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 4: House first dog. The first ever White House dog was
Speaker 4: Laddie Boy. How about that, Oh, Laddie Boy. That was
Speaker 4: in nineteen twenty one.
Speaker 5: So I didn't know that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's one hundred plus years ago.
Speaker 4: But you'd think, why didn't George Washington or Lincoln or
Speaker 4: one of those cats have a dog?
Speaker 1: What's up with that?
Speaker 5: Also? I think back then they had to eat the dogs.
Speaker 1: Well, there's a joke there, but I'll let it go.
Speaker 4: And you remember the Movie's Last the lassie movies that
Speaker 4: came out from MGM in nineteen forty three, a big
Speaker 4: moment in cinema. Hollywood got its first look at Lassie
Speaker 4: and Lassie Come Home, and then Snoopy Snoopy came around
Speaker 4: in nineteen fifty and I think at Knott's very form
Speaker 4: of amusement park in La. Here in Orange County, do
Speaker 4: they still have Camp Snoopy?
Speaker 1: I think they do.
Speaker 5: Oh they do. It's so ghetto in there. Sorry to
Speaker 5: tell the truth.
Speaker 1: Well, that is unfortunate. That is unfortunate.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was graffiti inside Camp Snoopie.
Speaker 4: Oh that's I mean, come on, can't you can't you
Speaker 4: at least respect Camp Snoopy? Well it should we I
Speaker 4: it's like they spent how many millions of dollars? I
Speaker 4: drive by this bridge every day. It's not even a bridge,
Speaker 4: it's a it's a road. It looks like a bridge.
Speaker 4: It doesn't go over a body of water. I think
Speaker 4: bridges go over a body of water. But in La
Speaker 4: the is it the seventh Street bridge of the I
Speaker 4: think it's the seventh Street bridge. This bridge they restored it.
Speaker 4: They spent millions of dollars.
Speaker 5: And oh, yeah, I know the one you're talking about.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I drive by there every day when I'm coming
Speaker 4: back from going to work and going back through downtown
Speaker 4: LA and these savages just destroyed. They took all the
Speaker 4: copper wiring out of it, so you can't light it up.
Speaker 4: It's a beautiful they spent it was great.
Speaker 5: Come on, what are you doing? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I just f the whole thing up. It was like
Speaker 1: what you might?
Speaker 4: Come on now, before we get to the mail bag, go,
Speaker 4: I did want to begin with the special. I didn't
Speaker 4: do this on I don't think I did, right, I
Speaker 4: don't think I did. I don't even know. I know
Speaker 4: I didn't do it yesterday. But let's do it right now.
Speaker 4: The how about the phrase?
Speaker 1: The word? We'll do the word of the week, the word?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you did a phrase of the week on Friday.
Speaker 5: No word of the week.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why I need to do the word of
Speaker 4: the work. All right, here's the word of the week.
Speaker 4: And this was recommended by our friend Alf in Springfield, Massachusetts,
Speaker 4: adjacent home of the pro Bouncy Ball Hall of Fame
Speaker 4: where Muffett McGraw is enshrined. And the word of the
Speaker 4: week is pod casting pod casting. And the word is
Speaker 4: a portmanteau. I believe how you say p O R
Speaker 4: T M A n T e a U. And it
Speaker 4: is a word that is blending the sounds and meanings
Speaker 4: of two different words. It's a blend of the word
Speaker 4: iPod and the word broadcast. It's kind of obvious and
Speaker 4: the first person to use the word podcast or podcasting
Speaker 4: was twenty one years ago. A British journalist who was
Speaker 4: writing a story for the London newspaper The Guardian, and
Speaker 4: his name Ben Ben Hammersley wrote the word podcast. It
Speaker 4: was popularized by an app developer, and then it was
Speaker 4: added to the dictionary in twenty five, so it's been
Speaker 4: it's been twenty years this has been used in dictionaries,
Speaker 4: so that's I mean, it's not that long in the
Speaker 4: big picture. But back in twenty oh five it was
Speaker 4: reported that it was not a popular term. People criticized
Speaker 4: the term podcasting and they were upset because they thought, Wow,
Speaker 4: you're giving way too much credit to Apple because you
Speaker 4: just ripped off the iPad iPod.
Speaker 1: Which isn't even a thing anymore.
Speaker 4: But back then people were complaining about it and they
Speaker 4: said that instead of podcasting, they should call it blogcasting
Speaker 4: or audio blogging.
Speaker 1: That never picked up.
Speaker 5: Do you know right now, I ain't even really I
Speaker 5: bet a lot of people are thinking the same thing.
Speaker 5: I did. I've never even gave it two seconds of
Speaker 5: a thought about why it was named that.
Speaker 1: Well, now you know the rest of the story.
Speaker 4: You can thank a writer for The Guardian who's a
Speaker 4: freelance writer now, Ben Hammersley, who just put together iPod
Speaker 4: and broadcast and ta da.
Speaker 1: I love the fact.
Speaker 4: Even back then though people were bitching, I don't you
Speaker 4: shouldn't call it a podcast, call it a blog.
Speaker 5: Back then if the iPad had been in place of
Speaker 5: the iPod, because we have the iPads now, not iPods, yeah,
Speaker 5: would it have been a podcast?
Speaker 1: But I'm bumped.
Speaker 4: Yeah, sure would have been a podcast. And know that
Speaker 4: I also would like to share with the class a story.
Speaker 4: One of my old program directors came up to me.
Speaker 4: This is in the late nineties, and he's like, we
Speaker 4: were on the Dodger station. We were doing a night show,
Speaker 4: so we got covered up a lot. Dodgers play on
Speaker 4: the West Coast at night most of the time, but
Speaker 4: probably eighty five percent of the time ninety percent of
Speaker 4: the time.
Speaker 1: So we were off quite a bit during the summer.
Speaker 4: And the guy's like, Hey, why don't you guys just
Speaker 4: do the show for the internet and we'll just record
Speaker 4: it and then we can do it. And at that time,
Speaker 4: I don't eve think we're going to record. I think
Speaker 4: we just do it live on the internet. And I
Speaker 4: remember having the conversation with the boss. We both were
Speaker 4: like if you lost your bloody mind, who know, because
Speaker 4: at that time, no one was listening to anything on
Speaker 4: computers and that kind of technology. It just hadn't taken
Speaker 4: off yet, and it really wasn't like listening to podcasts
Speaker 4: like this really took off until maybe ten fifteen years ago. Right,
Speaker 4: I feel like it's been it's been maybe ten fifteen years,
Speaker 4: but even now there's still.
Speaker 1: More people listening to rap regular radio podcasts. People don't.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean a lot of it is, yeah, a
Speaker 5: lot of it is not a convenience. You still get
Speaker 5: in your car and turn flip the radio on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's true.
Speaker 4: And people don't like to talk about that part because
Speaker 4: podcasting is seen is cool and we love doing the
Speaker 4: podcast and at some point that's probably all I'll be
Speaker 4: doing is the podcast at some point.
Speaker 1: But still the numbers, you know, and you say, well.
Speaker 4: The numbers aren't right, Well maybe that's maybe that's true,
Speaker 4: But the numbers are that we have are that more
Speaker 4: people listening to the to the radio.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what. One good thing about podcasts is
Speaker 5: when you have a couple of episodes to catch up on,
Speaker 5: it's like having a good TV show where the episodes
Speaker 5: are stacked up and you can't wait to go binge
Speaker 5: the TV show. Whenever I have two podcasts waiting for
Speaker 5: me to listen to on my commute, it's like, oh yeah,
Speaker 5: I got those podcasts. And so even though it's not
Speaker 5: as convenient it's just flipping the FM or AM station on,
Speaker 5: I like the fact that it's something you look forward to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's true.
Speaker 4: I have guys that are long haul movers, like moving
Speaker 4: man Matt in Boston will not listen to the show
Speaker 4: for like two weeks, and then he'll drive from Boston
Speaker 4: to Seattle and he'll listen the whole way, like the
Speaker 4: whole trip. He's got podcasts four hours a day, five
Speaker 4: days a week, and this podcast on the weekend, so
Speaker 4: he's got a lot of content.
Speaker 1: There's a good archive, good library.
Speaker 4: Material, so he'll just listen on his drive across across country,
Speaker 4: which you can't do. I remember, as we've talked about
Speaker 4: doing radio early on and if you didn't catch the show,
Speaker 4: you didn't hear the show. There was no going back
Speaker 4: and being like, oh, how would I go back and
Speaker 4: hear the show. No, you had to listen. It was
Speaker 4: appointment listening. And if you didn't listen, this is like TVO.
Speaker 4: Before TVO, there was no you know, unless you caught
Speaker 4: it on a rerun. You missed that TV show. Yeah,
Speaker 4: for sure, for sure.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 4: The mail bag, mail bag, mail bag, mail bag, mail bag,
Speaker 4: mail bag.
Speaker 5: It's B's mail bag. Someday someone's gonna listen back to
Speaker 5: this mail bag ten years from now. On a podcast.
Speaker 4: There are people that listen to this guy Tony in
Speaker 4: the Bay Area who go listen to podcast from twenty seventeen.
Speaker 4: I think that's the furthest back. They go, like the
Speaker 4: Overnight Show and he'll call up and ask random questions
Speaker 4: about what happened in twenty seventeen. I'm like, dude, that's
Speaker 4: eight years ago. I'm just trying to get through the day.
Speaker 5: I'm just trying to get Oh that's what I'm doing,
Speaker 5: Tinderoni tips Man, all right.
Speaker 4: Well, another one of those amazing stories. This comes from
Speaker 4: Bill in the Great State of Ohio. He does not
Speaker 4: say where, So I'm assume I don't know Cincinnati. It's
Speaker 4: either Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, or Dayton, probably one of those.
Speaker 4: Like very rarely does anyone email us from elsewhere, he writes,
Speaker 4: He says, gentleman, another story, he thought you'd appreciate. A
Speaker 4: woman here bought a painting at a thrift shop and
Speaker 4: was able to sell it for almost one thousand times.
Speaker 1: What she paid for it.
Speaker 4: And yeah, this woman, cording to the story, this is
Speaker 4: in Dayton, Ohio. So I should let Dick and Dayton
Speaker 4: know about this, because Dick does do some thrift shopping.
Speaker 1: He does. A woman bought a.
Speaker 4: Painting for thy Yeah, for sure, and then he loves
Speaker 4: send pictures those Dick pics.
Speaker 5: All right, so low budget Dick.
Speaker 4: Hello, all right, So this woman, she bought a painting
Speaker 4: for two dollars and ninety nine cents at a thrift
Speaker 4: shop just for the frame. The painting ended up being
Speaker 4: auctioned off for two eight hundred and seventy five dollars,
Speaker 4: and uh so, yeah it was she thought it was
Speaker 4: an awful painting and didn't think it was all that
Speaker 4: good and all that. But it turns out it was
Speaker 4: from a couple of famous American Impressionist painters. The person
Speaker 4: passed away one of the people in the painting. Well,
Speaker 4: I say, I guess it was one person, wasn't two,
Speaker 4: But he's got like four names, so I thought it
Speaker 4: was two people. Because we see four names, I think
Speaker 4: two people, you don't think one person. And I'd never
Speaker 4: heard of this person.
Speaker 1: But they died at age eighty eight, nineteen seventy two, and.
Speaker 4: His works of art are in collections all over the
Speaker 4: United States, including Indiana State University, Any State Museum in Indianapolis,
Speaker 4: Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Wake Forest University in Winston Salem,
Speaker 4: Winston Salem, North Carolina.
Speaker 5: And yeah, well it must have been ugly if she
Speaker 5: wanted to frame. Yeah, like it was. I wonder, I
Speaker 5: wonder what this thing looks like. Do you see a
Speaker 5: picture of it?
Speaker 4: Uh, yeah, there's a it's a nice it looks like a.
Speaker 1: Haunted mansion picture.
Speaker 4: Okay, hold on, let me send you you listen to
Speaker 4: our live coverage. By the way, it's the fifth hour podcast.
Speaker 4: As we attempt to send a photo homeseek, I got that.
Speaker 1: I think if I if I I think this.
Speaker 5: Would like to alert all the affiliates down the line
Speaker 5: that Ben is trying to work his iPhone.
Speaker 4: Yes, I am fuxing around with my phone right now.
Speaker 4: I did quick send.
Speaker 5: You can Yeah, you're right. Yeah, I'm looking at it
Speaker 5: right now. Well you can. Yeah, it's kind of creepy.
Speaker 5: I could see why she just wanted to frame.
Speaker 1: But the frame's creepy though, right, the paintings, yeah whatever,
Speaker 1: but it's.
Speaker 5: All creepy, I guess. Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like and she paid again, let me go
Speaker 4: back here. She paid at a couple of bucks for that.
Speaker 5: I've always wondered about dumpster divers who go around to
Speaker 5: these yard sales just they're hoarders. Most of the people
Speaker 5: are hoarders. I know, some of the people legitimately need
Speaker 5: clothes and maybe toys to their kids or whatever, ever,
Speaker 5: because they're a little down on their luck. I get that.
Speaker 5: But there's also people like Rerenda's aunt who's just a
Speaker 5: hoarder and she goes to all she lives in Anaheim.
Speaker 5: She goes to all these yard sales every weekend and
Speaker 5: takes other people's crap from their garage and puts it
Speaker 5: in her garage.
Speaker 4: Just shifting crap around from it's like yeah, and there's
Speaker 4: there's shows dedicated this. Remember the what channels, that History Channel.
Speaker 4: Those guys that go around, they were in Iowa. I
Speaker 4: think they're in Tennessee now. One of them not on
Speaker 4: the show is like one.
Speaker 5: Oh American Pickers.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, ye back roads and find random stuff. And
Speaker 4: then there's the the people that buy the storage shed
Speaker 4: storage wars. I think that's still in the air, and
Speaker 4: they'll go around and buy stuff. But you figure there's
Speaker 4: so many people living and people get older and then
Speaker 4: you know they they you don't take anything with you
Speaker 4: right when you check out. You talked about George Foreman
Speaker 4: yesterday and his death over the weekend.
Speaker 1: I mean, George made a lot of money. He's probably
Speaker 1: a lot of crazy stuff.
Speaker 4: People go through his stuff, but you know, people who
Speaker 4: aren't famous, maybe they had one or two things that
Speaker 4: were worth a lot of money, and when they die,
Speaker 4: stuff kind of gets you don't want to go through it,
Speaker 4: you don't have time to go through it, and then.
Speaker 1: It ends up. It ends up at a Salvation Army
Speaker 1: or a good will or something.
Speaker 4: And there's so there's opportunities there, but it's a it's
Speaker 4: a needle in a haystack situation.
Speaker 5: By the way, that that picker who passed away, that
Speaker 5: was Frank Okay, yeah, he died towards the end of
Speaker 5: last year. Oh was it? Okay.
Speaker 4: The next one is from a guy named Ben and
Speaker 4: also in Ohio. We are dominating the Buckeye State, and
Speaker 4: Ben says he wanted to get our thoughts on the
Speaker 4: story that door Dash will now allow its customers to
Speaker 4: buy now pay later for fast food. You can buy
Speaker 4: I guess you can buy your big mac and fries
Speaker 4: here and then you can pay in installments.
Speaker 1: Really, I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 1: First of all, I don't get the whole door Dash thing.
Speaker 4: I know a lot of you boys and girls delivered
Speaker 4: door Dash or Uber Eats or whatever, and.
Speaker 1: God bless you. But my take is, if I'm that.
Speaker 4: Lazy that I don't even want to get out of
Speaker 4: the house to get the food, I don't need the food,
Speaker 4: that's just that's just me.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 4: I have relatives, some of my in laws, and one
Speaker 4: in particular, all she does is order Uber.
Speaker 1: Eats and door Dash. It's non stop.
Speaker 4: In fact, we'll go over to visit with these in
Speaker 4: laws and they'll be like, hey, what do you want
Speaker 4: for dinner?
Speaker 1: I'm like, I will name something.
Speaker 4: Well, I'll just order it on you know whatever app
Speaker 4: and the end up paying so much extra for the food.
Speaker 1: But that's a bad shap.
Speaker 5: Those fees, all those fees and taxes are what kills
Speaker 5: it because I actually, I don't know want to tip
Speaker 5: my driver a good tip, so I want that money
Speaker 5: to go to him. I don't need a twelve dollars
Speaker 5: delivery fee that doesn't even go to.
Speaker 4: The no, for sure, but just the idea that you
Speaker 4: need to pay off a fast food dinner like that is.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's lazy. A lot of it is lazy people.
Speaker 5: But like you said, we have a lot of delivery
Speaker 5: drivers listening. I respect it. I respect your hustle a lot.
Speaker 5: It's it's not easy work.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 4: Well it's the beauty of like valet parking, same concept, Right,
Speaker 4: You're too lazy to go park and walk, so you're
Speaker 4: gonna do the valet parking and that's that's that. Joey
Speaker 4: writes in from New York. He says he's in Long Island,
Speaker 4: but he does not know e dog or Joe dog. Good,
Speaker 4: stay away from the dog. That guy annoyed me. The
Speaker 4: other night, this guy E Dog started to call a
Speaker 4: show again. With Joe Dogs working during the day, but
Speaker 4: Dog starts calling show again.
Speaker 5: I've been seeing people complain on Twitter about e Dog.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so he's like, he's like non secuitar guy, Like
Speaker 4: we're having two totally different conversations. I'm talking about one thing,
Speaker 4: he's talking about the other thing.
Speaker 1: It's just terrible. Anyway.
Speaker 4: I guess this is from Long Island because Joey says
Speaker 4: he lives there. The founder of pirates Booty. You ever
Speaker 4: had pirate's booty?
Speaker 5: Ever had his favorite snacks?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Everyone loves eating that pirate's booty. That sounds dirty, but
Speaker 4: it's it's just better for you.
Speaker 1: I supposedly, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Anyway, the founder of pirates Booty had started a mutiny
Speaker 4: on Long Island. He declared himself as the mayor of
Speaker 4: this town on Long Island and attempted to fire the
Speaker 4: staff of the village. So that's pretty ballsy, right, But
Speaker 4: that's the pirate attitude, Isn't that the pirate attitude?
Speaker 3: Dan?
Speaker 1: If you're a pirate, that's what pirates do. They don't
Speaker 1: have to follow the law. They're freaking pirates.
Speaker 5: This puffed corn and rice snack food says it was
Speaker 5: developed in nineteen eighty seven by Robert Erlich.
Speaker 4: That's who it is, Robert. It was fun O birding
Speaker 4: his authority as mayor, demanding access to office space, declaring
Speaker 4: that the entire village staff was fired in Seacliff, New York.
Speaker 1: On on Long Island. Yeah, he was going around there
Speaker 1: doing his thing. How about that?
Speaker 4: About twenty six miles northeast of midtown Manhattan, so about
Speaker 4: half an hour, half an hour helicopter ride, actually a
Speaker 4: helicopter I probably about ten minutes car twenty six miles
Speaker 4: from midtown Manhattan. It'll take you about three hours to
Speaker 4: get there. Better off taking the train. So yeah, this
Speaker 4: guy trying to take over local government. There must be
Speaker 4: more to that story, right, There's got to be. How
Speaker 4: much you think that guy made from pirates bodoties everywhere
Speaker 4: aged entered pirate's booty, puffed rice and corn.
Speaker 1: It's all natural, Danny, It's all natural, it is.
Speaker 5: How that white cheddar is tasty, not bad.
Speaker 1: You can get that at Costco. You can get that
Speaker 1: at Target Walmart where you do your shopping there. So
Speaker 1: I don't know what you want going to say, Joey,
Speaker 1: I saw, I mean, I saw the story.
Speaker 4: It's very bizarre. I don't know what the guy had.
Speaker 4: I don't know what much more than what you just
Speaker 4: sent me. So it's interesting. Every time I see Pirate's
Speaker 4: booty in the store, I'll think of the mutiny on
Speaker 4: Long Island?
Speaker 5: You know, really quick? Did you know booty meant treasure?
Speaker 4: Well, what it can mean treasure to you, it means
Speaker 4: something else to me. That's fine, means some different to me.
Speaker 4: Alf from the year in nineteen twenty six says when
Speaker 4: Wheaties released the first ever radio jingle. So, gentlemen, as
Speaker 4: fans of radio jingles, can you explain to me? Alf
Speaker 4: says why the cougars are no longer coming? But cars
Speaker 4: for Kids have been bludgeoning our ear holes for over
Speaker 4: thirty years now. Yeah, cars for kids. According to Alf,
Speaker 4: he said that that started in nineteen ninety four. I
Speaker 4: love the radio jingle I Love Love Love. We've we've
Speaker 4: talked about this before.
Speaker 1: It is so good. Yeah, And.
Speaker 4: There was a point when I first got into radio
Speaker 4: there were still stations that played jingles.
Speaker 1: I guess I'm old.
Speaker 4: And at some point they thought, well, that's too old.
Speaker 4: You sound too old as a station. Like the programming
Speaker 4: people said, you gotta you gotta be hipper and cooler,
Speaker 4: and it sounds sounds like your grandpa's radio station. So
Speaker 4: they had to get rid of all the jingles and
Speaker 4: all that. But they were They were great everyone, and
Speaker 4: you jingles are They work? They are effective, They work people.
Speaker 5: Remember, Yeah, even in the late nineties been I remember
Speaker 5: it got pulled because people complained, of course they did.
Speaker 5: But corn Nuts had a radio ad campaign that was
Speaker 5: busted nut. Busted nut. It's so much fun when you masticate,
Speaker 5: well it masticates fancy word for chewing. But people were so,
Speaker 5: oh my god, they're singing bust a nut. Yeah, no, no,
Speaker 5: it was awesome. I actually got a copy of that
Speaker 5: CD and I brought it to other radio stations wherever
Speaker 5: my career went, and in the middle of regular commercial breaks,
Speaker 5: I would play that commercial even though it wasn't scheduled.
Speaker 1: That's great, that's funny.
Speaker 4: I recall the advertisers of my youth because of jingles
Speaker 4: like pop pop phizz fizz. Oh, what a relief it is, right,
Speaker 4: I mean the jingle that's yeah.
Speaker 5: How about all the gum, all the bubble gum ones
Speaker 5: like Big Red.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Big Red was how about the hot Dog?
Speaker 1: I wish I would.
Speaker 5: It's going a movie.
Speaker 1: Hey. When we were kids, Danny, we wanted to get
Speaker 1: a toy. I don't want to grow up. I want
Speaker 1: to be a toys r us kid.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I don't want to grow up. I'm a
Speaker 5: toys r us kid.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: That's all basic jingle stuff, right, that's and they got.
Speaker 1: Away for it.
Speaker 4: If you you can become a is it a warm
Speaker 4: worm hole? Is that what you call when you get
Speaker 4: stuck in the ear?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, earworm?
Speaker 1: I guess I say. I think earworm is probably the
Speaker 1: better term. Earworm. And people just.
Speaker 4: Repeat that over and I love the bit. And there's
Speaker 4: still some radio stations to do this. It's one of
Speaker 4: the great gimmicks. How many times can you say the
Speaker 4: station name in like thirty seconds or twenty seconds?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 4: And I think last one in La K Earth did
Speaker 4: this for a few years back, where you had to
Speaker 4: scream you know the name of the station over and
Speaker 4: over and over and whoever you got like one hundred
Speaker 4: bucks for every time you said.
Speaker 1: It's a breaking it's a solid gimmick. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: and there's a.
Speaker 5: Great speaking of jingles. Earth one oh one, Oh.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, k Earth one on one. How about the
Speaker 4: Ben Maler Show.
Speaker 1: How about shut Up?
Speaker 4: You know no wf an and New York famous all
Speaker 4: sports station for years.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they still do.
Speaker 4: I haven't been a listener to WFN in a while,
Speaker 4: but they used to have the jingle, the jingle.
Speaker 5: We got to get a fifth hour podcast jingle made.
Speaker 4: Yes, I would love that. There's the big jingle shop
Speaker 4: in Dallas that does most of the the gingles. We
Speaker 4: can have one made by anybody. I mean, it'd be awesome.
Speaker 4: We'd play the crap out of that pretty much every week,
Speaker 4: be NonStop.
Speaker 1: All right, what is next?
Speaker 4: It is the mail bag here on this college basketball
Speaker 4: Sunday here in late March, Mike in Fullerton writes, and
Speaker 4: he says, hello, March Madness, Mallor and diaper Dandy Danny
Speaker 4: g Ben. I know you think people talking about their
Speaker 4: fantasy football team is terrible radio. That's true, But what
Speaker 4: about March Madness bracket talk. By the time you read this,
Speaker 4: my bracket might be totally busted. But as of my writing,
Speaker 4: I picked fifteen of sixteen games correctly in the beginning
Speaker 4: of the tournament.
Speaker 1: It pretty impressive. Huh. Anyway, Mike says, my.
Speaker 5: Question, no, you know who went sixteen? And oh is
Speaker 5: that your boy Steve Hartman?
Speaker 1: Is that right?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 4: My question is our FSR employees eligible to win the
Speaker 4: twenty five hundred dollars Tractor Supply gift card, because he
Speaker 4: pointed out Steve Hartman is at the very top there.
Speaker 1: I want, he says, I want the gift card.
Speaker 4: And I'm pretty sure we can't win it, although I
Speaker 4: did click on the thing when I signed up Danny
Speaker 4: that said I have to give my information out if
Speaker 4: I win, because you know, to use your your image
Speaker 4: and likeness or whatever you win the gift car.
Speaker 5: Man, if you won that gift card, you could finally
Speaker 5: feed livestock to your alligator pond.
Speaker 1: I would love to do that.
Speaker 5: It would be Uh.
Speaker 1: I can actually buy some like bear traps, you know,
Speaker 1: not that I need them. I can buy that.
Speaker 4: And you have you been to a tractors spl They're
Speaker 4: actually pretty cool.
Speaker 5: I've never been. But if I was driving past one,
Speaker 5: I would bark and go inside. For sure.
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 4: We were driving up the closest one, I believe to
Speaker 4: downtown LA. We were driving up past Santa Barbara. We
Speaker 4: were near solving in the next the next town, what
Speaker 4: is the name of the next town, Bueleton, Buleton. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: there's a pretty sure there's a tractor supply in Bueleton.
Speaker 4: That's the one we went to, and it was it
Speaker 4: was pretty neat. It was a nice store. They had
Speaker 4: a little bit of everything. And you need a wheelbarrow,
Speaker 4: they'll get your wheelbarrow. They got that. You know, you
Speaker 4: need a bag of burrow baggage, you you got whatever
Speaker 4: you need. Need overalls, they gets you some overalls. They
Speaker 4: got a little bit of everything there attractor supply. So
Speaker 4: I don't think you need to worry Mike about Hartman.
Speaker 4: Even if he wins, he's he's not going to get
Speaker 4: it done. Helps That would Hartman be if he went
Speaker 4: perfect bracket and didn't get the million dollars and.
Speaker 5: Didn't get the million.
Speaker 4: I know Kevin in Kansas, right since, says dear ben Ge,
Speaker 4: I found your overnight show during March of twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Oh, here we go, Danny. We talked about that.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, yeah, I found your overnight show during March
Speaker 4: of twenty twenty, the spring break from which no schools returned.
Speaker 4: I did some malar math and discovered that in five
Speaker 4: full years of listening to every hour of every show,
Speaker 4: including the weekend show, that is thirteen hundred regular shows
Speaker 4: plus four hours each at four hours each, rather one
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty six Fifth Hour shows at one hour each.
Speaker 4: That means two thousand and eighty shows five thousand, nine
Speaker 4: hundred and eighty hours. That's impressive, I says, thanks for
Speaker 4: filling our lives with great sports talk. So here's a
Speaker 4: fun fact for Kevin in Kansas. So if my math
Speaker 4: is correct, I did use malar math here. I used malamth.
Speaker 4: So by my account, Kevin and Antis has spent in
Speaker 4: the last five years, he has spent two hundred and
Speaker 4: forty nine days of his life consuming audio content produced
Speaker 4: by either the Ben Malers Show or the Fifth Hour podcast.
Speaker 4: Because five nine hundred and eighty hours divided by twenty
Speaker 4: four twenty four hours a day, and that works out
Speaker 4: to two hundred and forty nine point one days listening
Speaker 4: to this this audio content.
Speaker 1: I'm not a numbers guy, but that doesn't seem to
Speaker 1: add up. But people sleep for about eight hours a day, right,
Speaker 1: So hold on a second, I mean normally, yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't sleep.
Speaker 4: So divided by let's do sixteen because say the guy
Speaker 4: Kevin sleeps eight hours or he's going to the bathroom,
Speaker 4: taking shower or whatever, brushing his teeth, so that means
Speaker 4: he's actually.
Speaker 5: Sure he's got a speaker. He's probably got a Bluetooth
Speaker 5: speaker in there with your voice on it, point purrepoint.
Speaker 4: But based on sixteen hours a day, he's listened for
Speaker 4: every waking minute for three hundred and seventy three days.
Speaker 5: So holy holy shit.
Speaker 4: All right, thank you, Kevin. Another COVID sports radio consumer, Danny,
Speaker 4: because of the pandemic. Yes, all right, next up, ish
Speaker 4: boy didn't write this guy's name? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah
Speaker 4: yeah yeah. Hold on a second, I mean click over here,
Speaker 4: and I gotta futch around. You have got to be
Speaker 4: kidding me, all right, I'll get to the name of
Speaker 4: a minute. Any of the callers from him. I think
Speaker 4: he's in the wild I think this is the wild man,
Speaker 4: he says. Guys recently got one of my wisdom teeth removed.
Speaker 4: I chose not to go under, but let them numb
Speaker 4: me up a little bit. I started out all right,
Speaker 4: but when it came to the final pull to get
Speaker 4: it out, I yelped like a baby. It was not
Speaker 4: the first time getting wisdom teeth removed. When I was
Speaker 4: young in the Navy, I got my bottom wisdom out.
Speaker 4: I remember seeing smoke and smelling it too. Have you
Speaker 4: guys had any painful dental work? And he says, if
Speaker 4: you can give me a date for the Columbus, Ohio
Speaker 4: meet and greet, I will try to try to make
Speaker 4: it out. Yeah, this is the I believe. This is
Speaker 4: the wild man from from West Virginia.
Speaker 1: Believe.
Speaker 4: So a couple of years ago, Danny, remember I had
Speaker 4: the emergency medical I had emergency medical dental surgery a
Speaker 4: couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: But I was old.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and if you didn't have the connection, remember, if
Speaker 5: you didn't have the connection of that dentist, you would
Speaker 5: have been screwed.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I I had waited too long.
Speaker 4: I needed by the time they tracked me down, I
Speaker 4: had to have emergency dental surgery because my whole mouth
Speaker 4: was like swelling and disgusting and there was like puss
Speaker 4: and goo and it was a mess. So that was
Speaker 4: pretty bad. And then I had I had braces when
Speaker 4: I was younger, and I yeah, my mouth is a
Speaker 4: is a mess. I've had some some night mirror procedures,
Speaker 4: wild man.
Speaker 5: What about you, Danny G I've had my wisdom teeth
Speaker 5: pulled out, but no emergency dental surgeries or anything like that.
Speaker 4: Knock on wood, Well you have that to look forward to,
Speaker 4: Danny as you get older.
Speaker 5: All right, last one, don't you dare jinx me.
Speaker 1: If you're lucky enough, Right, if you're lucky, you'll have it.
Speaker 4: Ryan from Shrewsbury, mass rites In says, hello boys. A
Speaker 4: couple of weeks ago, I sent in that I discovered
Speaker 4: the next town over for me has a raising canes. Now,
Speaker 4: since you have Benny's big board, I have Ryan's reviews.
Speaker 4: Ryan says, I got the three piece combo texas toast
Speaker 4: and some French fries with a soda. Now, you guys
Speaker 4: were right. It was hands down one of the great
Speaker 4: chicken meals. He's his best, but best means as goes
Speaker 4: all the rest. I'm sure Ryan meant great chicken meals
Speaker 4: I've ever had. I will have to put this at
Speaker 4: number one, no question this week. Just letting you guys
Speaker 4: know about random raising Canes visit. It was a phenomenal,
Speaker 4: says Ryan. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Ryan, They're not
Speaker 4: a spot nice. I enjoy Raising Canes, and.
Speaker 5: Now I really feel like we're doing God's work.
Speaker 4: We're spreading the gospel. First time I read Raising Keynes
Speaker 4: was in Vegas, I said. I remember telling my wife.
Speaker 4: I said, listen, when I was a younger, guy said, someday,
Speaker 4: I'm going to beat McDonald's. I'm going to beat all
Speaker 4: the other burger king all the restaurants because I'm going
Speaker 4: to start a fast food restaurant with only chicken fingers.
Speaker 4: I never did it, but I was right that model,
Speaker 4: that plan would have worked because Raising Kines is very
Speaker 4: successful and they stole the business model that I had
Speaker 4: as a child.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll get out on that, Danny. I will
Speaker 1: be back tonight.
Speaker 4: I also want to let you guys know, since your
Speaker 4: p ones on the podcast, I will yet again be
Speaker 4: filling in on the Rogan and Rodney Show on Monday afternoons.
Speaker 1: So tomorrow give me ahead of it right now.
Speaker 5: Yang, how many days off to those guys?
Speaker 1: Way too many? And here's the fun thing though.
Speaker 4: Now on Monday, I'm doing a two hour show with
Speaker 4: Fred's not back from Japan, Fred Rogan. So I'm gonna
Speaker 4: be working with the man that stole the foul ball
Speaker 4: from Max Munsey, Rodney Pete, and that'll be his first
Speaker 4: show back since he became a viral star in Tokyo
Speaker 4: when he snatched.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's the new bart man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the new Bartman.
Speaker 4: And I did not know this until I did the
Speaker 4: show the other day with Jonas that the reason he
Speaker 4: had a glove was they don't have the proper netting
Speaker 4: in Tokyo, so they actually hand the fans gloves.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and his kid works in the Dodgers clubhouse.
Speaker 1: Yeah, his kid is like a clubby for the team.
Speaker 4: But they supposedly they just hand fans gloves in that
Speaker 4: stadium so they don't get killed from foul balls.
Speaker 5: We played a SoundBite of him on Covino and Rich
Speaker 5: and he was saying he was protecting his wife, but
Speaker 5: she's like a row behind him.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean I think that was just muscle memory. I
Speaker 4: think he just saw the ball. Seaball catch ball, Seaball
Speaker 4: catch ball.
Speaker 5: Can't wait to hear you ask him about it.
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm gonna pepper him I'm gonna completely pepper him
Speaker 4: and just not on him. Oh no, No, I don't
Speaker 4: believe that he was protecting his wife. I think he
Speaker 4: just wanted the ball. I want to know what happened
Speaker 4: to the ball. Did he keep the ball? Did he
Speaker 4: bring the ball back? He's tight with all those Dodger people.
Speaker 4: Are the Dodgers really upset with him? Does he have
Speaker 4: to have a meeting? Yeah, the whole thing I want
Speaker 4: to know. Anyway, have a great day. I'll be back tonight.
Speaker 4: We'll talk about the college basketball and then we've got
Speaker 4: the football signings. Will it be any today that we
Speaker 4: need to yap about? Tonight we'll talk about all of that,
Speaker 4: and Danny, you'll be back.

Speaker 5: is five to seven pm on the East Coast and
