He's the last remnants 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.480 of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.520 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:17.480 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:18.400 Wow. 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.320 The clearing House of Hot takes break free for something special. 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:28.480 The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now. 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:38.960 In the air every way a glorious football Sunday.

Whatever you want, we do 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:50.080 in the morning, but you can listen whatever you want. 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:52.320 But it is the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:54.640 Danny g. We thank you for following the podcast and 0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:59.760 actually listening to the podcast, which is the most important part, 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:03.760 and we want you to listen every single second. But 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:09.080 all we really need is what we need approximately two 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:12.759 minutes of your time. Five minutes, all right, five goes 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:17.120 five good minutes, and that's all we need. We're good, 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:17.760 We're golden. 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:21.520 I've listened back to these podcasts, been in like twelve 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:25.560 fifteen minute increments. It's not hard to listen to your 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:29.000 content for fifteen minutes. It's like your live radio show. 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:32.680 I'll tune in for fifteen twenty minutes. You get on 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:35.640 my nerves about something Clippers related and I turn it off. 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:40.800 I understand why you would be jealous of the Clipper talk. 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.840 It's the hottest team in the NBA, the people's team. 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:47.240 They've got James Harden. Now they're just on an absolute 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:49.000 as the kids say, they're on a burner. 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:53.880 What tell me you're not distracted by that ugly ass beard. 0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:58.040 Though, Uh No, I'm fine. I'm distracted by the fact 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:01.320 that I'm concerned he's going to puke all over himself 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:03.200 in the playoffs like he's done for every other team 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:06.000 he's played for. But the good news is the Clippers 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:09.639 have enough guys where even if he has a crapper 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:13.840 like we talked about yesterday, they should still be able 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:18.080 to weather the storm. If you will. 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:22.600 So, you think if they did forensics on his beard 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:26.079 they would find food crumbs from ten years to goo. 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:28.440 Yeah, he can't get rid of the beard. Though he 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.440 looks very odd without the beard. He looks very odd 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:33.280 without the beard. We've seen photos of when he's at 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:34.000 Arizona State. 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:35.919 Yeah, he looked alien like. 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:39.440 Looks like a nerd. And with the beard, he looks 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:43.280 like a tough guy. He's got that intimidating swagger as 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:47.680 a tough guy. Wrong. Absolutely, all right, let's get to 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.120 the Let's just get to the mailbag. Why waste time? 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.200 People sent letters in They want us to talk about 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:56.000 that what they said they wrote? So let's here we go, ohioal. 0:02:55.960 --> 0:03:11.960 It's let's get into it. 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:17.520 First. One is from Dan in Cannes City. It says, 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:19.760 guys like the podcast looking forward to the Chiefs game 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:23.280 this weekend. He sent this the other day. He says, 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:28.480 I just saw a story it's somewhat recent, of Patrick 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:32.680 Mahomes and he was asked a question what his favorite 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:37.200 burger was between in and out five guys and What 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:41.200 a Burger? And Mahomes said that the top burger was 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:44.440 at What a Burger? What do you guys think about 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:48.480 about Mahomes' favorite favorite burger? From Dan? 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:53.400 What a guy? That's because he spent a lot of 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:54.520 time in Texas. Right. 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.880 Well, not only that, Danny, I believe he owns a 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.560 bunch of water burgers. I think he brought some locations 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:05.680 to Kansas City, so methinks the witness is biased, right, 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:10.640 I compromised. I think he's compromised. I've been to Whataburger. 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.560 They have some in Arizona, and I like. 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:14.000 What a Burger. 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:15.800 I've told the story, my what a Burger story because 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:19.640 of the Sun's Phoenix Suns games, and they used to 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.760 I'd listen late at night to Suns games on the 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.480 radio on transistor radio because I'm a nerd. Got in 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:29.080 a radio and the announcer, Al McCoy, when the Sons 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:32.280 would hit a three point shot, he'd say, what a shot? 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.039 What a burger? And I want to eat there? And 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:37.120 I have family in Phoenix, so I'd go. We'd go, 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:38.440 and I'd ask my mom to eat it. 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:39.479 What a burger? 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:40.720 And it was good, But it's not as good as 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:44.279 in and out. It's certainly not as good as five guys. 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:47.040 Those are better burger location. That's a bad job by 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:49.560 my homes. Yeah, but he is from Texas. 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.480 So I've never tasted that before. 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:53.920 Yeah, it's better than a lot of the fast food 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:57.120 play certainly better than what Travis Kelcey likes. His favorite 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:00.240 burger is Burger King. He says, that's the top fast 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.280 food bro who has Burger King? 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:03.880 Not nineteen eighty five. 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.400 I let it go, Okay, let it go. Like I'm 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.600 glad Burger King's still around, but they got to reinvent 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:14.159 themselves over there at the King. The King has fallen. 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.479 You mentioned five guys. I sure wish that joint was 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:22.599 more affordable. Yeah, it's really ricey. I ordered just for 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:26.440 myself because my chick wasn't in the mood for a hamburger. 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.200 She opted for what was next door, which was like 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:32.520 a Mediterranean grill. So I was like, okay, will you 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.920 go into the grill? I gave her my debit card 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:36.799 and I'm like, I have a little bit of cash 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:40.520 on me, I'll go in to five guys. That little 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.200 bit of cash in my pocket was nowhere near enough, 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.159 and all I got was a small fry and like 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:51.000 one of their small cheeseburgers. Holy shit, it's expensive. 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.960 Yeah, it's it's ridiculous. Did they have the peanuts of 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.320 those back? I know they got rid of those during. 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.600 They were in there. Yeah, because I filled my bag up. 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:03.440 That's the only upside to spending that much money. You 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:06.520 get free peanuts. But how much do peanuts really cost? 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.760 A bag of peanuts is gonna cost you six bucks? 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.440 Maybe a big bag, guess. I guess at Dodger Stadium. 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.080 A Dodger Stadium will cost you six hundred dollars because 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:18.880 they got otani but at the store. But maybe more 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.359 than that. The prices have gone so much. It's that 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:24.000 putin price hike, Danny, that's it. 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:26.200 I don't know you're right, because I bought a bag 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:30.600 of pistachios last week fifteen dollars for a small bag. 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.960 They really get you on the Macadamian nuts. Those because 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.599 they're exotic from Hawaii and they stick it to you. 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:38.520 And I love Macadamian nuts, but I don't get them 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:40.800 very often because they're A they're not very good for you, 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:44.200 and B they taste great, and see they gouge you. 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:49.760 I've been making this brittle and I tried Macadamian ut 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:51.840 bro which came out alright. The peanut brittle I think 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:53.400 is better than the Macadamiant brittle. 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:54.800 But I'll be the judge of that. 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:59.320 Oh yeah, okay, you're getting me a mug. I'll definitely 0:06:59.880 --> 0:07:02.760 just some brittle. A Lion's van Larry writes and says 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.000 in He's in the Mutton state. He says, Ben and 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:09.840 Danny Joy the pod while I'm cleaning up the house here, Ben, 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.560 I heard you upset over something that happened at the 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:16.000 start of the show the other night. You said you 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.200 didn't say what it was. Can you let us fifth 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:24.600 Hour stands know what happened? I don't know. What do 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:26.960 you think, Dan, should I tell the tell the story? 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:31.120 I don't know, tell the two minute version of it? Okay? 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:35.400 So yeah, so the way this works, I'm very happy 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:39.960 that the show has a lot of commercials. The more 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.440 commercials the better, right, because we're in We're not doing 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:44.880 commercial free We're not doing commercial free radio. We're doing 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.960 like commercial radio. And it tells you that the show's 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.000 doing well. The more commercials you have, to me, it 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.960 tells you the show is doing pretty well. That there 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:54.920 have been times I've been at Fox Sports Radio for 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:56.640 over twenty years, there have been times we had no 0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:00.400 commercials that ain't good. So I'd rather have too many 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.720 then not enough. But I do a lot of live reads. 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.560 I haven't recently this the last year, I've started doing 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:08.680 more live reads, which is fine. I don't care. I 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.960 like doing live reides. I put my own touch on them. 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:16.200 I put my own bullshit in them. Yeah, Ben Maler here, 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.400 I know I always. I learned that from a guy 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:23.440 early in my career, a seasoned radio guy back in 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.920 the heyday of radio, and he told me, he said, listen, 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.880 if they're going to force you to do these commercials, 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:33.520 what is the most important thing for you? It's your brand. 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.920 So every time the commercials play, if they play your 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:42.920 name or you say your name, then that maybe somebody 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:44.800 hears you and likes how you read the commercial and 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.320 they want to hear your show. And I've always done that. 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.480 Every time I have to do a commercial, I always 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:50.520 try to put my name in there. 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:53.079 When I was producing your live show, I would email 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:56.480 your spots off to sales, and sales would say, oh, 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:58.640 he added his name. Thank you. 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.120 Listen. That's the way it goes. You want me to 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:06.800 do it, you want pay me a little extra, I 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:08.640 won't do it, But they don't. They never every time 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.199 I say, hey, pay a little extra, I'll take the 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:14.199 name out. They never want that. They never say that's 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.720 a good idea. So I'll give you the brief story. 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:20.439 Larry thank you for listening. Good luck to your lions today. 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:24.040 At least cover the spread. That would help me out. Yeah. 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:27.120 So the other night I get again. We do a 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:31.280 lot of commercials and I have a big stack of 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.920 copy digital copy, mind you, but there's a lot of 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:39.360 different commercials, and I am given the name of the 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.760 commercial that I have to read at the end. We 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:43.679 usually do a live read at the end of the monologue, 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.240 and then we do a couple during the hour, like 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:49.559 brief small reads, one at the bottom, sometimes when the 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:56.000 last segment. So this other night, I'm beginning the show, 0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:01.480 the open to the show is on. I've got to 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:05.000 present the monologue for the hour at the top of 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.800 the hour, first hour of the show. And as the 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:11.559 open is playing, as I'm turning my mic on, a 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:14.679 voice in my head says, all right, here's the commercial 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.120 you need to read. Here's the name of it, you know, 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:19.640 on like, I don't have how am I going to 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:23.200 get I have to do the monologue? And then I 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:26.880 had to Yeah, it just the timing was a little 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.480 log that. That's the thing, you know, Danny. The timing 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:33.240 is important. You want to have time to have the 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:37.360 copy and be prepared and all that stuff, and so 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:41.760 it was a little a little upsetting, but I calm down. 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.079 I calm down, and I did find the copy. 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:51.559 Was it Coop talking in your air or Iowa Sam. 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:53.480 Well, I will not I will not reveal who did that, 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.680 but they are big fans of a woman's basketball player 0:10:56.720 --> 0:11:00.120 from Iowa. So I don't remember the person's name. 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.960 There was. Can I tell you. I'll make this a 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:09.560 thirty second story. But I was producing the great Steve 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:11.920 Hartman on the weekend a couple of years ago. 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:13.960 Homer Hartman come on and. 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:17.040 By the way, on his show, I begged the Raiders 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:23.280 to use their draft capital to go up and get C. J. Stroud. No, no, 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:25.920 I would have been a genius general manager, though ben 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:30.079 I wouldn't have been fired like Ziggler. But anyhow, Iowa 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:34.080 Sam was running the board on those weekend shifts. Steve Hartman, 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:39.160 who's a well tested veteran, does not like voices in 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:42.640 his head as he's doing his show. So Iowa Sam 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:46.120 asked me, hey, did did Hartman do that fifteen second 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:49.480 live read? I was answering his phones. I'm not sure, 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.200 but let's wait wait for him to finish the break. 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:54.839 If he didn't do it. We'll make it good. We'll 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:58.400 make it good. On the other side, I got into 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:02.080 Steve Hartman's airpiece and said, blah blah bla blah blah 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:06.240 live read Steve Hartman stops dead in his tracks on 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:14.800 the air and said, what we have breaking news. Let's 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:18.360 just say. Steve Hartman came in during the commercial break, 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:23.040 furious inside. You don't never talk in my earpiece again 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:24.520 unless it's breaking news. 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:31.320 Yeah, listen, I I'm not that extreme. I'm not this 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:35.080 just the time could not have been worse. I'm just 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:37.240 trying to do the monologue as good as I can. 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:40.000 I got this stuff, fugazy camera on me because they 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:43.040 want the Internet videos, which is fine whatever, that's their thing. 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:46.439 I give them the videos. But I can't. I can't 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:49.080 be like scrambling around and all that stuff. So I 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.400 just all I need is like two or three minutes. 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:52.960 Is that too much to ask? Dan? Like two or 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:55.080 three minutes, and then I have time to find it 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:55.880 and then I can get Oh. 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.360 And you know what, Sam, He's got really good intentions, 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:02.439 and he had good intentions trying to help Steve make 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:05.480 sure he did that read. But it's just you gotta 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:09.120 know the host. You got to know their tendencies and 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:10.880 what they like and what they don't like. 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:15.280 You can slide that in later in the show. And yeah, 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:19.520 no harm, no foul, Everything's good, Mike, and Fullerton writes, 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:21.840 and he says, happy New Car Smell Day? Is it 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.280 New car Smell Day today? That's what he says. It's 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:25.400 a national Oh. 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:27.360 I love that smell. By the way, that should be 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.400 a it is. Oh, it should be a cologne. It 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.320 is wonderful. It's one of the great smells. It's one 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:34.800 of the reasons to buy a new car. 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:35.480 Is just for the smell. 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:36.960 Yeah, it's amazing. 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:40.560 It's National Kazoo Day. It's Lego Day. It was a 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:43.960 huge lego guy back in the back in the day. 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:47.559 I think, is he making that up? I don't know. 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:51.640 There's a million Holidays today, a weird bugezia. He's probably 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:55.439 making that up. Bad job by him anyway. Mike says, Uh, 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:59.800 what's your opinion guys on people making a heart with 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:03.040 their hands. I think it's just about the stupidest, lamest 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.480 thing a person could do. Travis Kelsey doing it and 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:10.080 a touchdown celebration was the last straw for me, all right, Mike, Yeah, 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:11.160 wasn't that sarcastic? 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:11.360 Though? 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.640 Didn't Kelsey say that was kind of mocking the Bills 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:15.040 fans that were busting his balls? 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:19.480 Supposedly. I'm not sure if that's true or not. Maybe 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.160 he was embarrassed after the fact and it was like, Oh, 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.360 let me pretend like I was poking at the Bills. 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:28.000 Yeah, Like what did Kelsey got all upset with the 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.600 Bills fans? Like what did he expect? Like he's he's 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.880 the playing for the other team, Like you got that? 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.880 And with all the other stuff Kelsey's done to kind 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:42.120 of enter the political conversation with the deal, the vaccine thing, 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.200 and then the bud light like what did he think? 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:47.960 And Buffalo it has been very very good to Taylor Swift. 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:51.480 That area more than sells out, They sell out the 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:56.040 parking lot when she performs there. So to me, I 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:59.400 saw that heart flash towards the box. I think he 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:01.640 was trying to proposed to her. That's what I think. 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:06.000 Just go with it, Just just go with it. 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:09.160 He is like, oh, the cute heart to my girl. 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:12.000 And then people are like you pussy and he's like, no, 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.720 no Ah, I met that was for the Bills fans 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.720 that were all up on her. Yeah, no, no, we 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:20.320 know what you were doing, dude. All right. 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:23.400 Next up on the mailback Steve in La where we 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:27.880 do this podcast from, and Steve says, Ben and Danny 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:32.960 enjoy the podcast. Ben, you're a pretty cynical guy. I 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.840 like your late night show. I think it's great. By 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:40.600 the way, are compliments really genuine? I see what you 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:44.800 did there, Steve. So here's my position on compliments. I 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:47.080 want to see if you agree with me on this name. So, 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:52.800 I believe that twenty percent of compliments are legit and 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:56.760 eighty percent are bullshit? Do you think I'm right with that? 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.120 Like a lot of people compliment stuff just to be 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.880 not the polite, but they don't really believe it. I 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:05.200 think about twenty percent a two hundred batting average is legit. 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:11.960 Yeah, I would say forty are legit? Forty sixty I 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:13.080 would say, so pop. 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:13.360 You know. 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:16.960 By the way, last Wednesday was National Give a Compliment Day? 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:19.240 Oh? Is that is that right? 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:19.760 Yeah? 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:20.320 It's nice. 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:23.680 I'll give you one, but it's not Wednesday anymore. 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:27.760 That's right, it's thank you. Yeah. I think only twenty percent. 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:32.200 But and this depends there's a lot of variables, Steve, 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.360 and you listening. I hope you're listening, Steve. But there's 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:40.440 a lot of variables because you not only have like location, 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:42.880 there's a lot of people at work who are who 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.080 say nice things to try they think they're going to 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:50.320 get promoted to certain people. Right, there's that I think, 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:52.840 I think, you know, twenty I'm going I'm sticking with 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:54.840 twenty percent. I think twenty percent of legit. And then 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:56.880 there's because there's a lot of bullshit artists that are 0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:59.440 out there. So I think those those people, you got 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:02.400 a factor that in where they're not sincere at all. 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:06.159 They're using the compliment, they're weaponizing the compliments, all right. 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:09.600 Next up, ask Alf writes in Alf, the alien o 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:13.040 Pinery says, what are the odds that Eddie would listen 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:17.159 to the uncensored tweet segment of the Fifth Hour podcast 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:20.920 that he suggested? Yeah, if you missed this, Danny, Eddie. 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:24.200 I'll often not be able to read things on the 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:26.960 radio as I can't read that on the air whatever 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:32.199 because they're fowl, perverse, x rated, whatever, So I'll just 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:34.639 skip over them as I'm going through social media with it, 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:37.840 and we get a lot of jokes, the funniest jokes 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:41.240 we get we can't read on the air because they're 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.960 not radio friendly. So Eddie is like, well, just do 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:47.119 it on your podcast. Just read the really foul jokes 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:51.919 and do the X rated content and all that. I 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:57.520 go for little taste and anyway, Alf says the answer 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:00.480 of how the odds that Eddie was listen to the 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:06.840 uncensored tweet segment zero percent? Alf says, who is he kidding? 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:08.000 He says, he barely listen. 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:11.560 Wait, wait, wait, Alf, You're forgetting something. Though. All we 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:14.679 would have to do is talk about Eddie's wife and 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:18.119 the Chargers on the podcast. Eddie would tune into that one. 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:21.080 So in the middle of that would be like, oh, 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:24.520 by the way, Eddie's wife and the Chargers, did you 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:27.440 see what she tweeted about the new head coach blah 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:30.520 blah blah. And if you told Eddie about that, then 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:33.399 Eddie would tell you, oh, happy wife, happy life, and 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:34.200 he would tune in. 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:39.000 Yeah, your set up right? How about shut up? Wait 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:42.360 all these Charger fans, Danny, I know, wow, man, they 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:43.480 are on cloud nine. 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:47.359 They are to This fixes everything, man, This takes the 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:49.160 curse off of the Chargers. 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:51.320 Hey, it is a good hire, I'll give him that. 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:53.679 But I think Antonio Peers is a good hire with 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:55.679 the Raiders. I think he'll do a good job with 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.400 the Raiders. It's like it's going to be very interesting 0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:01.840 now in the AFC West to go to Sporto. But 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:04.840 you got Sean Payton, who many boot liquors in the 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:08.639 media think is amazing with the Broncos. You got the 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:11.280 Raiders with Antonio Pierce, so I think she knew pretty well. 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:14.120 You got Harball, Jim Harball with the Chargers, and then 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:16.440 at the very top as Andy Reid, assuming he doesn't 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:20.359 retire either later today or after the Super Bowl if 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:24.600 the Chiefs win today, and that's a really loaded division. 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:30.040 Yeah, you're not kidding. We went from Red Hackett, McDaniels 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:36.440 and Staley to read Sean Payton, Antonio Pierce, and Jim Harbaugh. 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:37.680 It's an upgrade. 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:39.879 It's an upgrade, just a little bit of it. 0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:43.400 Chargers no longer having their yoga coach doing the downward dog. 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:46.320 They don't have him as the coach anymore. Staley, Oh 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:49.240 my god, what a disaster. All right, next up on 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:53.080 the mailbag, Thank you, alf But I'm sending me recipes too. 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:57.399 He sent me recipes for blue blueberry cookie and a 0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:01.640 canoley cookie.
