Speaker 1: Kubbooms.
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 sore fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: It's a clearinghouse of hot takes. Break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in

Speaker 1: bogus holiday. Who's who celebrates their elected officials? Seriously?
Speaker 2: Two waiters came up to me to mister Trump, we
Speaker 2: love you.
Speaker 3: How about the news this past week where Trump said
Speaker 3: he'll take on Biden, He'll accept the challenge there for
Speaker 3: the debate, yeah, he said, And not only will he
Speaker 3: debate him, he called him crooked.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden wants the debate to happen at like noon
Speaker 1: because he goes to bed at three, so you have
Speaker 1: to bait in the middle of the day. There you go,
Speaker 1: what I'm bumped.
Speaker 3: Anyway, I thanks, you could do Eoe, you could do
Speaker 3: old jokes for both guys.
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, this is the greatness of American politics. Here.
Speaker 3: Are you looking more forward to this fight or the
Speaker 3: Tyson fight?
Speaker 1: Well? Yeah, I mean I think the debate will be
Speaker 1: more entertaining because Trump will just go you know, he
Speaker 1: did what did he care? He's beaking sued. He was
Speaker 1: trying to put him in jail, so he's just going
Speaker 1: to go for it. And the Tyson thing, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll talk about it. We'll talk about it.
Speaker 1: I'm sure. Danny a bunch.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he gave up weed and women during training, so
Speaker 3: for months he's gonna be without the two things he loves.
Speaker 1: Does he need money? I thought he made all his
Speaker 1: money and weed. He doesn't need money. He doesn't need money.
Speaker 1: He buts it around.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he says he's just doing this for the love
Speaker 3: of boxing.
Speaker 1: Love of boxing. Okay, well, well, what's his name?
Speaker 4: Don King?
Speaker 1: Show up? Probably not Don's really old but still alive,
Speaker 1: but really really old. All right, let's get to the
Speaker 1: mail bag. You're ready for the mail bag. Right to
Speaker 1: the mail bag we go, Let's get it.
Speaker 4: It's alright, mail bag time.
Speaker 1: Thank you to those of you that have took taking
Speaker 1: time out to send letters in and I'm very happy
Speaker 1: I've not had to post in weeks on Facebook begging
Speaker 1: for people to send questions. People have been wonderful. We've
Speaker 1: got some new names which I love to see along
Speaker 1: with the old names, so good job by you. First
Speaker 1: one is from JJ from Motown. He says, Hi Ben
Speaker 1: and Danny Ben. I wanted to know what was the
Speaker 1: top barbecue you had in Carolina, so I didn't eat
Speaker 1: too much barbeque. I ate three barbecue meals, three or
Speaker 1: four barbecue meals. The top barbecue I had was Lewis Barbecue,
Speaker 1: which is in the Charleston area. That was really good.
Speaker 1: Highly recommend Louis Barbecue. It was a wait. It's one
Speaker 1: of these places where they open up at like ten
Speaker 1: in the morning and they're only open till they sell
Speaker 1: all of the meat, which could be three o'clock. I
Speaker 1: mean there was a line around the building to get
Speaker 1: into this place. Louis Barbecue was great. And also, this
Speaker 1: is going to shock you, Danny. This is a hot
Speaker 1: take that's going to get a lot of downloads for
Speaker 1: this podcast on this Sunday. The other barbecue that I
Speaker 1: love BUCkies. BUCkies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I loved it. I'm not going to no, no.
Speaker 3: I could hear the joy in your voice on yesterday's show.
Speaker 1: The BUCkies brisket sandwich, the Texas style brisket sandwich was
Speaker 1: just great. And I had the brisket sandwich at the
Speaker 1: Lewis Barbecue and they had some really good side dishes
Speaker 1: and all that. Now I have said, if you follow
Speaker 1: the show. Years ago, I did a Mallard meet and
Speaker 1: greet in Kansas City to celebrate the Ben Mallor chicken
Speaker 1: fingers and it was wonderful. I had a great time.
Speaker 1: And I will repeat my previous take that the z
Speaker 1: Man sandwich that I had in Kansas City at what
Speaker 1: at the time was Oklahoma Joe's. Now it's Kansas City, Jose.
Speaker 1: It's the greatest sandwich I've ever had. The z Man sandwich. However, Okay,
Speaker 1: my eyes have been open. I've evolved my position on
Speaker 1: Carolina barbecue. I'd a was taken an anti Carolina barbecue position,
Speaker 1: but I'd like to retract that previous take. That's a
Speaker 1: bad take, because Carolina barbecue is wonderful. Okay, it is great,
Speaker 1: and so everything I had heard about Carolina barbecue not
Speaker 1: being as good as Kansas City barbecue or Texas barbecue
Speaker 1: bull crap. Okay, bull crap. Chef's kiss, chef's kiss. It's
Speaker 1: kind of hard to screw up barbecue, isn't it, though,
Speaker 1: Right when you think about it, if you're a barbecue restaurant,
Speaker 1: it would seem like if you're known for that, it's
Speaker 1: hard to really f that up.
Speaker 4: So thank you JJ.
Speaker 1: Mike in Free Parking Fullerton writes and says, I've been
Speaker 1: and Danny, I'm sorry I missed the Malor meet and greed.
Speaker 1: I googled my mother's sideburns for hours, but I could
Speaker 1: not find it, Mike says. He then points out, do
Speaker 1: you like the taste of water? It may sound like
Speaker 1: a stupid question, but it's not, Mike says. From that
Speaker 1: bastion of free parking, he says I have a friend
Speaker 1: who hates water, so he mostly drinks doctor pepper, which
Speaker 1: is probably why he's had a bunch of kidney stones.
Speaker 1: Per I like water, even if it's tapwater, says Mike.
Speaker 3: Yeah, tap water is no bueno. Where are you at
Speaker 3: on water, Danny?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 3: You know I have a smart water in front of
Speaker 3: me right now, and it's their alkaline version nine point
Speaker 3: five plus p h.
Speaker 1: Take that.
Speaker 3: I came from the hood and now I have exclusive
Speaker 3: bottled water in front of me.
Speaker 1: Put down your pipe and smoke it. Yeah, put down
Speaker 1: your pipe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, to my dangerous minds teachers who told me I
Speaker 3: would never amount to nothing?
Speaker 1: Are you like Tom Brady who drinks Remember back in
Speaker 1: the day, the story was he drinks twenty five glasses
Speaker 1: of water per day with added electrolytes.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm not a fan of drinking a ton
Speaker 3: of water because I don't like it. I don't like
Speaker 3: the feeling of its slushing around inside your stomach.
Speaker 1: Well, my problem is I keep going to the bathroom.
Speaker 1: I drink a lot of water, and then I have
Speaker 1: to go to the bathroom with them. But true, true, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's the other. But you do feel healthier when
Speaker 1: you're drinking the right amount of water, because obviously it
Speaker 1: flushes the toxins out of your system. I'm a big
Speaker 1: cold water guy. I drink a ton of water, cold
Speaker 1: water because I heard, actually we talked about this in
Speaker 1: a podcast months years ago, probably that drinking cold water
Speaker 1: actually burns calories. It does.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it wakes up your system.
Speaker 1: But here's the problem. It does burn calories, but you'd
Speaker 1: have to drink so you'd have to drink like five
Speaker 1: gallons of water to get any real results.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, Jonas Knox told me that he drinks
Speaker 3: like gallons of water every morning, not two.
Speaker 1: Not three, not four. Yeah, that's just while he's on
Speaker 1: the air that's hanging out with LeVar.
Speaker 3: Are imagine that having to down all those gallons of
Speaker 3: water while you look at LaVar Arrington's talons up on
Speaker 3: the counter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well there you go, bare.
Speaker 3: Feet up on the board.
Speaker 1: My my favorite water story is a reporter from Germany
Speaker 1: when I was the NBA. Really cool guy, great dude.
Speaker 4: We got along very well.
Speaker 1: He was a fan of the show, and we used
Speaker 1: to have dinner quite a bit at these games, at
Speaker 1: the Clipper and Laker games. That would be at and
Speaker 1: he would never drink water. And his position was that's
Speaker 1: where fish fuck. And he didn't want to eat, you know,
Speaker 1: he didn't want to have that in his body. Oh
Speaker 1: my goodness. That was But and I tried to point
Speaker 1: out to him, I said, there's water in everything, like
Speaker 1: there's water in soda beer. You can't what are you doing?
Speaker 1: But no, he would not drink just water.
Speaker 3: Do you think if you cut this guy open, orange
Speaker 3: soda would seep out of him?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Pretty much right, And it's kig. What are you
Speaker 1: doing next? Up on the mailbag, Alf from the Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio parking garage. He says, Ben and Danny, Hello,
Speaker 1: have you ever been Ben? Have you ever been so
Speaker 1: pissed at Eddie that you thought of inviting Lenny Dykstra
Speaker 1: in studio without telling him? Also, do you regret not
Speaker 1: putting Henry Hill on the radio? Already know the answer
Speaker 1: to that one. Well, yeah, yeah, Henry Hill, he's dead.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I could have told us you regretted it immediately.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I did not think it was actually Henry Hill.
Speaker 1: I thought it was just some drunk hobo that was
Speaker 1: pretending to be Henry Hill. But it was actually Henry Hill.
Speaker 1: And I'm still that story still blows me away that
Speaker 1: if you don't know the story. Henry Hill, the famous
Speaker 1: mob guy. They made a movie about him. He turned
Speaker 1: FBI and form it but he was living in the
Speaker 1: Witness Protection program. But he was living in Sherman Oaks
Speaker 1: in LA, where our studio is. And I went out
Speaker 1: of the studio one night before the show to do
Speaker 1: a cross talk with a great Joe McDonald, Big Joe,
Speaker 1: big nasty. And as I was walking out of this
Speaker 1: homeless guy like, Hey, are you on the radio, And
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I'm not. I'm Henry Effan Hill, and
Speaker 1: I want to be on the radio. You know, I
Speaker 1: got a story to tell and whatever. And so I
Speaker 1: went and I did a Google image search and sure
Speaker 1: enough that was Henry Hill. And that was I went
Speaker 1: outside to try to find him and he was gone
Speaker 1: and never saw him again.
Speaker 4: That was it.
Speaker 1: And as far as Lenny Dykstra, yeah, I'd love to
Speaker 1: have Lenny on the show and upset Eddie. That would
Speaker 1: that would be fun. But I haven't heard from Lenny
Speaker 1: in a while. He would send me messages randomly. I
Speaker 1: haven't heard from Lenny in a while. I guess he's
Speaker 1: upset with me. I don't know what are you gonna do?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? He's busy skiing.
Speaker 3: A bunch of hookers and cocaine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will, I think this summer though, we'll get
Speaker 1: back with do some some interview podcasts. We haven't done
Speaker 1: a lot of those. It's just been us schmoozing and
Speaker 1: all that. But I'll do a few of those. There's
Speaker 1: some people that are relatively big names or whatnot that
Speaker 1: I haven't talked to in.
Speaker 3: A while, like Roberto the bus driver.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Roberto will get Roberto on, We'll pot with him.
Speaker 1: We'll have Lorraina on, We'll get some of my play
Speaker 1: by play friend people around.
Speaker 4: All that.
Speaker 3: Iowa Sam to regale in the two weeks he worked
Speaker 3: for you.
Speaker 1: It was a great run though. It was the greatest
Speaker 1: two weeks it was. It was wonderful.
Speaker 3: He was on furlough.
Speaker 1: Wild Man of Morgantown, West Virginia, rights and fun fact.
Speaker 1: Wild Man my brother, on his way back to Wisconsin,
Speaker 1: just kind of lollygagged around. He drove through West Virginia,
Speaker 1: said it was beautiful. The scenery in West Virginia is
Speaker 1: just absolutely beautiful. Anyway, wild Man says, Hi Man and
Speaker 1: Danny G. I used to compare myself with Tom Brady
Speaker 1: when talking to peeps at a bar. We are both
Speaker 1: the same age. Also, people call us the goat. Him
Speaker 1: because he's the greatest of all time. Me because I'll
Speaker 1: eat anything, wild Man says. He says any spicy food.
Speaker 1: He loves curry the hottest of the hot hot wings.
Speaker 1: Every once in a while, he says, it'll knock me
Speaker 1: down a notch. One time it hit me and I
Speaker 1: had to find a toilet to release the beast. It
Speaker 1: wasn't pleasant question for you, gentlemen. What is the spiciest
Speaker 1: food you have ever had? And how was the experience?
Speaker 1: So Danny, you big spicy guy, he liked the spicy, spicy, spicy.
Speaker 3: I do like spice and small doses. I couldn't eat
Speaker 3: a whole meal of major spice. But when I was
Speaker 3: doing one of my first morning shows, we did a
Speaker 3: hobb and narrow, a hot hobbin narow contest between the crew,
Speaker 3: and we actually took bites out of the hottest peppers
Speaker 3: on Earth, and we had to have like lots of
Speaker 3: glasses of milk on st or as you call it.
Speaker 3: Milk on standby because we were Oh my goodness, I
Speaker 3: remember going home Ben. And let's just say the exit
Speaker 3: velocity of those peppers was nothing nice.
Speaker 2: There's a bottom I rate to bring the gas.
Speaker 1: You feel it coming in? You feel it? Yeah? Oh yeah?
Speaker 1: Now is the hobb and narow? What is it? The
Speaker 1: red Savina hobbanarow? Is that the hottest?
Speaker 4: I know?
Speaker 1: There was the Carolina Reaper, that's right, which is very hot.
Speaker 3: We had all the different colors of the peppers and
Speaker 3: all of them, you know, cut open with the seed showing,
Speaker 3: and we each had to take a nice, big juicy
Speaker 3: bite of seeds. In all almost died that day.
Speaker 1: Wow. I like to think I'm someone that likes hot food,
Speaker 1: but I don't really. I mean, I'll eat the hot salsa,
Speaker 1: but that's not like dragon's breath pepper salsa. You know,
Speaker 1: it's not that. It's as my friend Alex, who passed
Speaker 1: away years ago, used to say, it's grango salsa. You know,
Speaker 1: it gives you the illusion that it's a it's actually yeah, spicy,
Speaker 1: but it's not like you'll get in Mexico.
Speaker 3: Now, how about this for wild Man Coop legendarily has
Speaker 3: eaten petroleum jelly. Yeah, he's eaten like twenty eight hour
Speaker 3: old hot dog from Burger King on.
Speaker 1: The air thanks to the Jay Moore leaving that. That's right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the promo item in our blue Kitchen and I
Speaker 3: have raiders Welcome back to Oakland Wheaties box from nineteen
Speaker 3: ninety six. Are you thinking about Well, I'm thinking wild
Speaker 3: Man Coop guys like that. That's a great food challenge
Speaker 3: right there. If I poured you a bowl of nineteen
Speaker 3: ninety five slash ninety six wheaties? How much money would
Speaker 3: you want to win or need to win to take
Speaker 3: a couple of big bites out of those wheaties?
Speaker 4: Oh? I bet you.
Speaker 1: There's so many chemicals in there that it probably still
Speaker 1: looks exactly the same.
Speaker 3: But I doubt it tastes the same though, well probably not.
Speaker 1: You're right about you know the look. It's like McDonald's
Speaker 1: leaving around, or the cheeseburger that doesn't doesn't degrade. If
Speaker 1: you gave me, I don't know, like five hundred bucks,
Speaker 1: I'd do it. Why not? Can I have chocolate milk?
Speaker 1: Or do I have to have no regular milk?
Speaker 3: And you have to finish a whole bowl a whole bowl. Yeah, well,
Speaker 3: kind of a kid, and then you'll have to go
Speaker 3: run to the bull.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: I think I'm probably good on that. We also got
Speaker 1: an email from Zach. I did want to thank Zach.
Speaker 1: I don't have it in front of me, but Zach
Speaker 1: runs a bar. He's a big cheese there in column Ohio,
Speaker 1: and he heard about the Malor Meet and greet and
Speaker 1: he said, Hey, I'm a fan. I like the show.
Speaker 1: I'd love to have yet my establishment. So the good news, Danny,
Speaker 1: is that we have a bar, which and I look
Speaker 1: this place up. It looks really cool in Columbus, Ohio,
Speaker 1: which is kind of central because we have the Cleveland
Speaker 1: we are like Ohio al and the guys that live
Speaker 1: in the Cleveland area. We've got Justin and Cincinnati and
Speaker 1: just Josh that are down in Cincinnati and some others,
Speaker 1: and then we have Dick and Dayton.
Speaker 3: So we do very.
Speaker 1: Well in Ohio. That's the good news that we have
Speaker 1: a location for the Mala Mea greet. The bad news
Speaker 1: is how the f do I get to Ohio, Danny.
Speaker 1: I'm not planning any vacation to Ohio. I don't have
Speaker 1: any family that is living there right now. So if
Speaker 1: we can figure that out, Zach and I want to
Speaker 1: get there because I do want to do a Mala
Speaker 1: meet and greet in Ohio. I have no business reason
Speaker 1: to go there at this point, meaning the radio show
Speaker 1: is not gonna send me, so I don't know how
Speaker 1: we're gonna get there. If you can come up with
Speaker 1: a way to get there, I will absolutely. I'd love
Speaker 1: to do a Mala meat greet your your barz act
Speaker 1: looks amazing, it looks great. I would like to there
Speaker 1: at some point soon. Playing Charge Automobiles. Our man Dick
Speaker 1: and Dayton's not getting any younger, so I got to
Speaker 1: meet him. You know, I got to meet our friend
Speaker 1: the Dick.
Speaker 3: Do you think the first topic Dick and Dayton would
Speaker 3: talk to you about Ben?
Speaker 1: I was talking. I was talking to my friend Bill.
Speaker 1: Uh he's on on Cleveland Browns. Yeah I does Browns
Speaker 1: and yeah you put me on a show, and yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: God bless him Ohio. Speaking of Ohio, Ohio, Al writes it, he'says, hello,
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny g I just watched the Phil Hendry
Speaker 1: documentary you recommended a while back.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 1: I had no idea who he was. How about Ohio?
Speaker 1: Not having any Phil Henry knowledge, he says that dude
Speaker 1: is so effing hilarious. I watched it twice and was
Speaker 1: laughing my ass off both times. Any chance that you
Speaker 1: can get him on the Fifth Hour pod for an interview? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think we could get Phil Henry on. I believe
Speaker 1: we're social media friends. I could send him a message
Speaker 1: and get him on at some point during the summer
Speaker 1: when I'm planning on doing some of those things.
Speaker 3: So I'd rather have Farrell on again. Pharrell on a
Speaker 3: pile of snow, part.
Speaker 1: On a bender in Atlantic City at a hotel somewhere,
Speaker 1: surrounded naked by money and.
Speaker 3: Ben, I'm gonna be honest with you, piles of cash
Speaker 3: and cocaine on this hotel bed next to me right now.
Speaker 3: He was not kidding either.
Speaker 1: And it sounded like he was sampling the product. But
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe not. It just sounded like that.
Speaker 1: That was That was while the Barry. Oh I just
Speaker 1: mentioned Barry earlier this weekend. He showed up to the
Speaker 1: Barry from Nashville. Now in South Carolina, says Yo Yo, Ma, Benny,
Speaker 1: great hanging out meeting you at the Charleston event last week.
Speaker 1: He says, I must say I was worried it would
Speaker 1: be a bit awkward being in with a bunch of strangers,
Speaker 1: but everyone was very welcoming. I got to meet some
Speaker 1: very nice folks and had some funny conversations. Was a
Speaker 1: great time.
Speaker 4: So thank you.
Speaker 1: That's from Barry. Well, thank you Berry. I appreciate I
Speaker 1: appreciate that.
Speaker 3: I love the meet and greets or FSR, even the
Speaker 3: unofficial ones.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're a lot of fun. And there's also talk
Speaker 1: of a meet and greet in Vegas at some of
Speaker 1: the boys that listened in Vegas. Let go, we can
Speaker 1: make it done. Dun Donna, dun Don, you might have
Speaker 1: to show up to that one. Dan, Oh, I'll be
Speaker 1: at that one for sure. We'll do it on a
Speaker 1: Friday or Saturday, probably Saturday. Mike from Nashville whites in.
Speaker 1: He says, Hey, Ben and Danny enjoy your pot each weekend.
Speaker 1: Thanks for doing it. And Ben, what was the favorite
Speaker 1: Southern dish that you had last week on your road trip. Well, Mike,
Speaker 1: I had a lot of really good food. I love
Speaker 1: Southern food. It's very bad for you, very fattening and delicious.
Speaker 1: The I mentioned this, I think just a few seconds ago.
Speaker 1: The brisket sandwich from Lewis Barbecue was great. Bucky's Barbecue
Speaker 1: brisket was amazing. I also had biscuits and gravy.
Speaker 3: Zachsby's was your favorite, though.
Speaker 1: But biscuits and gravy very good. That was actually our
Speaker 1: last meal in Charleston before we had to get to
Speaker 1: the airport and go back to Myrtle Beach and return
Speaker 1: the round car and all that, so that that was
Speaker 1: really a brisket sandwich or the biscuits and gravy, and
Speaker 1: there were some other stuff that was was outstanding. But
Speaker 1: I didn't really have a bad meal. The one thing
Speaker 1: that did piss me off is I did go for
Speaker 1: a second meal at bo Jangles one time, and this
Speaker 1: lazy fat ass who was working to drive through at
Speaker 1: bo Jangles, he failed to put my fries in with
Speaker 1: my meal, and I didn't check till I got back
Speaker 1: to eat it, and it was too late and I
Speaker 1: couldn't go back. How do you leave fries out of
Speaker 1: a chicken meal. It's a bad job by that loser.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he saved you five good pounds.
Speaker 1: Well, that is true. You'd be happy if they leave
Speaker 1: fries out. Kevin and Kansas rites in. He says, dear
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny g BUCkies will be opening soon in
Speaker 1: good Year Arizona. And I looked this up Danny, and
Speaker 1: no lies from Kevin, he says. Now, when you drive
Speaker 1: to Phoenix, you have a destination stop. That is true.
Speaker 1: And I have many relatives, a lot of them getting older.
Speaker 1: We're all getting older in the greater Phoenix area, so
Speaker 1: I will have to head over. That's an excuse to
Speaker 1: go to Phoenix because not only do they have they're
Speaker 1: gonna have BUCkies. It's gonna open in twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: but also Culver's, so I get Culver's and BUCkies in Arizona.
Speaker 1: I don't have to go to Wisconsin or Texas or
Speaker 1: South Carolina.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: We have one more baseball stop next weekend in Tempe.
Speaker 1: Oh, beautiful Tempee. Are you gonna go to Culver's when
Speaker 1: you're in I'm gonna try. Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's for the Pac twelve Baseball Championship games, which is
Speaker 3: why the Graduate Hotels is having us out there. And
Speaker 3: this is like a slow death of the PAC twelve.
Speaker 1: Right, We're gonna have Washington State and Oregon State play
Speaker 1: each other back back to back and belly to belly
Speaker 1: and that's it the yeah anyway, as Kevin says, thanks
Speaker 1: for doing that.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna look that. I've always wanted to try culvers,
Speaker 3: so it's really good.
Speaker 1: I like it.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I've never got to try it. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: look that up next weekend.
Speaker 1: I got to get those curds. And there are several
Speaker 1: locations in the Greater Phoenix area, several locations. Big Lou
Speaker 1: writes in Big Lou, He's on number two, Good old
Speaker 1: Big Lou. He says, every time you report in your travels,
Speaker 1: you bring up issues that can be handled easily. Big
Speaker 1: Lou says, I'm going to enlighten you. We don't do
Speaker 1: list radio, but this is Big Lou Traveling Tips, Volume.
Speaker 3: One, Big Louse, Big Board, my man, Big Lous.
Speaker 1: Then we gotta get Lou back in see it. But
Speaker 1: Big Lou's scolding me. He says, stop driving to Vegas
Speaker 1: and fly there. If booked enough time in advance, the
Speaker 1: flight will cost about the same as the gas you
Speaker 1: will spend getting there. Very true, and he recommends the
Speaker 1: Long Beach Airport from LA forty minute flight and then
Speaker 1: you just lose your money.
Speaker 3: Lou don't tell anybody about LBC's airport.
Speaker 1: He says, rent a car at the airport if you
Speaker 1: if you must, Well, Lou, I've got I've got a problem.
Speaker 1: It's called a wife and she wants to bring a
Speaker 1: bunch of clothes and stuff. And my buddy flew to
Speaker 1: Vegas on is it Spirit Airlines?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, don't do Spirit. See stick with Southwest
Speaker 3: out of LBC. And here's what you can do. They
Speaker 3: still it might go away in a year, but they
Speaker 3: still give you two free checked bags, so you could
Speaker 3: get all your wife's stuff on the plane for free.
Speaker 1: All right, I get that. But and the planning part's
Speaker 1: also an issue because we usually don't plan the Vegas trips.
Speaker 1: It just kind of happens organically, or like, hey, let's
Speaker 1: go to Vegas. All right, we'll get in the car
Speaker 1: and drive to Vegas and we'll like, you know, it's
Speaker 1: eight o'clock.
Speaker 3: Yeah, some of it's impromptu. The timing, yeah, whereas yeah,
Speaker 3: you're you're held to having to be at the airport
Speaker 3: at a certain time if you book that.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: Lou also says, get global entry so you don't have
Speaker 1: to spend two to three hours at the airport five
Speaker 1: to ten minutes through TSA. Well, TSA wasn't really a
Speaker 1: big problem. Also, I recommend if you have to go
Speaker 1: through TSA, go through Myrtle Beach. TSA could not be better.
Speaker 1: Myrtle beachts very small airport, no line, boom, wonderful. How
Speaker 1: much does global entry cost? What is that?
Speaker 4: How much is that?
Speaker 1: Danny? Do you know?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: You know, I know, most major credit cards. If you
Speaker 3: get it, they'll reimburse you for pre check, the pre
Speaker 3: check thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Lou also says when traveling via plane, you are allowed
Speaker 1: to take food on the plane, no liquids. Before you
Speaker 1: get to the airport, bring your own cuisine in the
Speaker 1: carry on bag. He says, yeah, we could do that.
Speaker 1: We could do that, but my wife loves eating at airports.
Speaker 1: I don't know why. He says. Also, typically this I
Speaker 1: thought this was the most This next one is the
Speaker 1: most important one, Lou said. He says, typically at the airport,
Speaker 1: rental car companies locate plate cars or local plate cars
Speaker 1: rather are sold early or midday to get you get
Speaker 1: there early to midday to get local plates. He says,
Speaker 1: you're better off taking a red eye flight landing early
Speaker 1: in the morning, and that way you can get a
Speaker 1: plate that is close to your where you're at, like
Speaker 1: the state you're in. This is a do.
Speaker 3: Too much work just for a license plate.
Speaker 4: That is a lot.
Speaker 1: And I didn't not get a speeding ticket.
Speaker 4: I did not.
Speaker 1: I only saw a couple of cops out there in
Speaker 1: the boondocks of the Carolinas. Only only a couple, So
Speaker 1: that's good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you weren't drinking and driving, you were only
Speaker 3: eating and driving. There was a lot of food consumption.
Speaker 1: In fact, I did a sixty four hour fast when
Speaker 1: I got back to Cali, Like I overdid it. I
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta take a couple of days here. So
Speaker 1: I almost went full three full days and just said
Speaker 1: xnay on the food. Ay. Maddie from Milwaukee sent us
Speaker 1: a kind of a sporty question, or.
Speaker 3: We could give little mini answers to it.
Speaker 1: What is it? Yeah, he says, Hey, Ben, Danny, do
Speaker 1: you guys believe that Caitlin Clark is good enough to
Speaker 1: make the the w NBA relevant.
Speaker 3: Well, we kind of talked about this the other day
Speaker 3: when we're talking about Rob Parker's bad take.
Speaker 1: Rob Parker, I need a cole shower the great Rob Parker.
Speaker 3: Look, it might take a while, but then the thinking
Speaker 3: is are people going to come along with her for
Speaker 3: the ride in the middle. It's similar to Wemby. Were
Speaker 3: people really tuning into the Spurs? Halfway through the NBA
Speaker 3: season the Spurs stunk, So if she's on a bad
Speaker 3: fever team, people are going to lose interest.
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example of why this is not
Speaker 1: gonna work. I don't believe it worked. The people that
Speaker 1: are watching Caitlin Clark, and they were like two million
Speaker 1: people that average her debut. The other the beginning of
Speaker 1: the week, her debut averaged two point one million people.
Speaker 1: Right there was a doubleheader though, on that fledgling cable
Speaker 1: channel out of Bristol, Connecticut. So the first game average
Speaker 1: two point one million, the second game averaged less than
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand viewers. And at any moment there's about
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand people watching ESPN. They're all over the list, bars, restaurants, airports,
Speaker 1: all that. So by my malor math, if my math
Speaker 1: is correct, that seventy seven percent of the people that
Speaker 1: watch the WNBA are there to watch Caitlin Clark. So
Speaker 1: they have a base audience of twenty three percent. That's it.
Speaker 1: So I don't I don't think that's going to go
Speaker 1: very well sexist, but what do we know? All Right,
Speaker 1: I think we'll get out on that, Danny Sunday Sunday Sunday.
Speaker 1: I'll be back in the radio dojo tonight tonight and
Speaker 1: we'll recap all the NBA shenanigans and all that from
Speaker 1: today and the horse race yesterday, if I so, I'm inclined,
Speaker 1: and whatever else happened over the weekend. We'll get to
Speaker 1: all of it on the Sunday in the Monday podcast.
Speaker 1: That's eleven o'clock in the West and then two am
Speaker 1: in the east. Well, four hours of original content all
Speaker 1: night long.
Speaker 3: Gotta say, really quick though, Ben about the WNBA. Have
Speaker 3: you seen the big tall drink of water playing for
Speaker 3: the sparks? Now that Cameron brink I was.
Speaker 1: Sent some photos of her looking like a runway model?
Speaker 1: Is that the one is that I don't know her name,
Speaker 1: that's the one she's getting.
Speaker 3: She's getting a lot of attention in southern California right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I have heard people complaining about the fact that
Speaker 1: the WNBA, which would always just be honest and he
Speaker 1: had always appealed to less effeminate women, right, I mean.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know there's pictures now of a few of
Speaker 3: the girls like doing sexy poses.
Speaker 1: That has to be intentional, right, Somebody at the NBA
Speaker 1: is like, we're losing so much money on this. Nobody
Speaker 1: wants to watch this crap. What is the number one
Speaker 1: item that people love? What is the the thing, going
Speaker 1: back to the early days of humanity that has always
Speaker 1: been able to sell Danny, sex sells, That's right, exactly,
Speaker 1: ding ding ding ding ding sex sells sex and barbecue food.
Speaker 4: Wow, damn right on that.
Speaker 1: All right, have a wonderful rest of your weekend here
Speaker 1: whatever that means depending when you listen to this on Sunday,
Speaker 1: And I'll be back tonight and all week long. No
Speaker 1: days off this week, no days off, So have a
Speaker 1: great day later, skater, gotta murder.
Speaker 3: I gotta go
