Speaker 1: Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of
Speaker 1: the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse. The Clearinghouse of Hot takes

Speaker 1: So on this the Saturday edition of the Fifth Hour
Speaker 1: with Ben Mallard and Danny g we are gonna have
Speaker 1: I can't even say who this is. This is such
Speaker 1: a big name. Danny, Oh my god, I'm gonna make
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make you wait for this name. It is
Speaker 1: like it is going to break the podcast. It's my
Speaker 1: favorite line all week long from Radio row here. Oh boy,
Speaker 1: and the big names walking around You'll never you never
Speaker 1: know who's gonna stop. You have big names plan for you.
Speaker 1: Uh uh. Some some observations. But we're better liars than you,
Speaker 1: by the way. Oh yeah, I'm a terrible liar and
Speaker 1: I I was actually texting a couple of guys that
Speaker 1: do radio shows back East, and we were like, man,
Speaker 1: like so many of these guys who are like total
Speaker 1: hard old guys, like they are really about it, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, I can't be that guy, Like I love
Speaker 1: kind of like mocking all of this. But I was
Speaker 1: walking around after I did the Overnight show and and
Speaker 1: these guys are like breaking down the XS and those,
Speaker 1: you know, They're like really into it, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: what are you doing though we're talking about football? Who
Speaker 1: wants to hear that? You know, come on speaking. I'm
Speaker 1: attached to the two Perfect shows because earlier in the
Speaker 1: week there was this junket upstairs here at the convention Center.
Speaker 1: It was all the Fox TV personalities and announcers that
Speaker 1: we're gonna be doing the Super Bowl. So you had
Speaker 1: everybody from Grant to Charles Woodson to that was the
Speaker 1: one Terry dropped, dropped the dirt on Sean Payne. He
Speaker 1: spilled the beans. So so we're trying to get in
Speaker 1: there with the Covino enriched microphone ben and all these uh,
Speaker 1: you know, TV stations from around the country. We're asking
Speaker 1: these stupid, hard old football questions. What do you think
Speaker 1: about Patrick mahomes health? What percentage would you put them at?
Speaker 1: And and and Covino Ritz were trying to ask a
Speaker 1: Casey barbecue or or a Philly cheese, and we were
Speaker 1: looked at us if we were aliens, and like, you
Speaker 1: guys can get out of And the thing that's amazing,
Speaker 1: Like and I noticed when I was doing the website.
Speaker 1: I haven't on the website in a long time. The
Speaker 1: things that people actually want to hear about are about
Speaker 1: barbecue and cheese. They could nobody wants to hear about
Speaker 1: breaking down the four three defense or the three four defense.
Speaker 1: Who the hell wants to do that? Maybe if you're
Speaker 1: a high school football coach, But if you're just a fan,
Speaker 1: you wanna you wanna make these people human beings. You know,
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. Um. Anyway, so before we we bring in
Speaker 1: big name this again, download record, download record here someone
Speaker 1: related to the Super Bowl, Massive name right around the corner.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping it's it's it's story time. It's story time
Speaker 1: on the fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny g
Speaker 1: And who doesn't enjoy a good travel log A Mallard travelog,
Speaker 1: And we have a doozy. So this kind of happened
Speaker 1: at the last minute coming to the Super Bowl. I'm
Speaker 1: very happy to be here. It's been great, it's been fun.
Speaker 1: I hope to do this again next year Danny in
Speaker 1: Vegas in sin City, hopefully that will we'll take place.
Speaker 1: And so to kind of set the scene here that
Speaker 1: the travel arrangements were not made far in advance. I
Speaker 1: did not realize up until shortly before I came here
Speaker 1: to Arizona that I would be coming. I heard rumors
Speaker 1: that it might happen, but you don't know what you
Speaker 1: don't know, and you don't know it's gonna happen until
Speaker 1: it happened. And so I didn't say anything on the
Speaker 1: radio show, and I didn't tweet anything out. And the
Speaker 1: reason I didn't is because I was worried it might
Speaker 1: not happen. I didn't want the Mallard jinks to be
Speaker 1: in effect. I was trying to avoid the Mallard jinks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so there is that. But well, Bennett turns out that
Speaker 1: you didn't lie about Yeah, we're gonna interrupt you right now.
Speaker 1: And it was just it was just telling a story
Speaker 1: about I was in the middle of a story and
Speaker 1: what happened. We're gonna get back to your story in
Speaker 1: just a moment. Here, you see, we're gonna We're gonna
Speaker 1: get miked up here. Let me see we got two
Speaker 1: mikes there you go. All right. See you thought I
Speaker 1: was I was false advertising. You thought I was full
Speaker 1: of crap. I was not. I was not. This is
Speaker 1: very important podcast. Well we can turn your mind on here.

Speaker 1: cold chicken cold? The legend it's like Smith, the all
Speaker 1: time leading Russia's son, nice enough to join us. Welcome,
Speaker 1: Thank you guys, thank you. Yea a fun week so far,
Speaker 1: of course, I mean, I'm with my wingmen right, any
Speaker 1: better than that? How many how many of these? How
Speaker 1: many of these have you done, by the way at
Speaker 1: this point through the week and all that, I mean,
Speaker 1: I only did it today. Um, but yeah, maybe around
Speaker 1: like what, Yeah, we've been to a couple of so
Speaker 1: as your as your old man like schooled you on
Speaker 1: the process. He back in the day, he did all
Speaker 1: these things forever, so as he taught you like ten
Speaker 1: years ago, it's kind of hard to school him on
Speaker 1: the process. He's just join the moment now, he's now
Speaker 1: he's seeing how all of it comes together when you
Speaker 1: when you're in college and so forth, and now you're
Speaker 1: around the big game itself officially. Now it's it's becoming
Speaker 1: more real. Yeah, I mean I've done my due diligence,
Speaker 1: and i mean he's a great mentor. So I've always
Speaker 1: watched him since I was the kids. So now what
Speaker 1: was it like, because like I've heard stories from like
Speaker 1: your dad was like a big time deal, Like did
Speaker 1: you like love your dad or did you're like like
Speaker 1: did you like other guys because your dad was like
Speaker 1: you know you all you knew it was your dad, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, he was my he was my pop.
Speaker 1: So like I've never really saw him as you know,
Speaker 1: the m smith that you guys see. Yeah, so I've
Speaker 1: always had other people that I've always looked at or
Speaker 1: even him telling me who to look at, um. And
Speaker 1: so with that, I mean, yeah, he's just my pops,
Speaker 1: you know, I hear you. That's great. Well, well, it's
Speaker 1: great to have you guys on and and and but
Speaker 1: I want to ask you now, these athletes today, it's
Speaker 1: it's not so much you need well that this generation though,
Speaker 1: that's like load management and all that. You know that's
Speaker 1: going on and all that, Like, uh, when you you
Speaker 1: were playing and one of the reasons you have the
Speaker 1: rushing record, you know you played, you kept playing, you
Speaker 1: were banged up, you keep going on. What do you
Speaker 1: think about this new generation the guys that and it's
Speaker 1: not so much in football, but it's coming to football
Speaker 1: that are kind of cutting to me. I think it's exactly, um,
Speaker 1: what the the game. It's somewhat requiring because of a
Speaker 1: lot of the concussion protocol issues that's been been talked about,
Speaker 1: and where the probably the a lot of the the
Speaker 1: hits are coming from. And so I think it's also
Speaker 1: part of the marketing scheme also to devalue certain positions
Speaker 1: for whatever reason. Um, And I think most of those
Speaker 1: reasons are are related to high scoring games. What's not fun,
Speaker 1: it's not fun to see the clock, tik tik tik tik,
Speaker 1: take away through the run game. But it's fun to
Speaker 1: see the ball in the air, catching the balls and
Speaker 1: guys performing in the end zone. That's great, but uh,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it has taken away the essence of
Speaker 1: what the game, how the game was actually made, and
Speaker 1: how the game was meant to be played. In the beginning,
Speaker 1: I'm okay with the forward pass, but at the expense
Speaker 1: of the game itself, I'm not. Uh. That's why I mean,
Speaker 1: dbs don't have a chance right now. Uh, and big
Speaker 1: hitters don't have a chance right now. I saw um
Speaker 1: a Twitter feed this morning. I believe Ryan Clark knocked
Speaker 1: a living breath out of West Walker this morning on
Speaker 1: something the way we use to play football that doesn't exist.
Speaker 1: That hit right now will get you kicked out of
Speaker 1: the world. So so it's different what young running backs
Speaker 1: in the league right now? Do you kind of admire?
Speaker 1: You see some of yourself and them maybe uh, not many,
Speaker 1: because I mean, when I see myself, I'm looking at
Speaker 1: a style, uh not necessarily performance wise, how you look
Speaker 1: in the uniform, how he moves in uniform, and mark
Speaker 1: ingram to me has come become the closest to me. Um,
Speaker 1: I can't really see too many other guys in that light. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what was the Lebron James this week? Broke the story? Right?
Speaker 1: Do you have the rushing record? Do you think that
Speaker 1: you think about unbreakable records? The way the games played
Speaker 1: these days, do you ever think about somebody breaking your
Speaker 1: mark for rushing yards? I don't think about it, But
Speaker 1: do you think it will happen? I believe if a
Speaker 1: human data before another human can do it again. I
Speaker 1: mean this, this is very cyclical right now. That might
Speaker 1: be that might be a technology that develops that nobody
Speaker 1: can get a concussion and you might be able to
Speaker 1: protect bodies a lot better now, and then gods can
Speaker 1: just go for it. And if that happens, you never
Speaker 1: know what might happen. And so I'm a firm believer
Speaker 1: that if a man did it before a man can
Speaker 1: do it again, will I be around to see it?
Speaker 1: I don't know, But until then I'm gonna stay where
Speaker 1: I'm at on top of the very top. Was speaking
Speaker 1: of basketball? Is your family have a favorite basketball team?
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't really watch basketball. That was ever
Speaker 1: bolting growing up? Was it only football? And what other
Speaker 1: stuff we're growing up? What's the what's a growing up
Speaker 1: with that? In that house? Was it all sports or
Speaker 1: were you guys were like, I mean, we could do
Speaker 1: whatever we wanted say. I mean he was really open
Speaker 1: minded about that. I mean I I played, I played basketball,
Speaker 1: I mean I would played golf, played tennis, played soccer, track.
Speaker 1: I mean I did everything, and I mean it swim
Speaker 1: better than me. The worst punishment you ever got a
Speaker 1: little boat when here and there had to yeah, exactly, Uh,
Speaker 1: and you guys are here because uh, I see you
Speaker 1: said not do not eat the chicken wings. But it's
Speaker 1: not about the chicken wings? What is it about. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna just saying this as we in pro approached this weekend.
Speaker 1: This is a weekend of festivities for a lot of people.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be family members coming over, other folks, house,
Speaker 1: friends coming over, people house. Super Bowl party is gonna
Speaker 1: be a galore, and every Super Bowl part is always
Speaker 1: gonna be a mess, some type of mess. Somebody's gonna
Speaker 1: have to clean up something, and everybody's gonna have their
Speaker 1: pick of food. Wings is gonna be part of it,
Speaker 1: Ribs can be part of it, Sauces can be part
Speaker 1: of all kinds of things. And wherever there are wings
Speaker 1: and sauces is always going to be a mess. And
Speaker 1: for us, you cannot play. You cannot have wings without football.
Speaker 1: You cannot have football with out wings, and cannot have
Speaker 1: wings without bounty. And so bounty is there to help
Speaker 1: you clean things up. I mean, who not who's not
Speaker 1: trying to eat good and have a good time, but
Speaker 1: yet who don't want to clean up? I don't want
Speaker 1: to clean up after all that cooking, But if I'm
Speaker 1: gonna clean up with something, I want to clean up
Speaker 1: with something that's gonna help me get it out the
Speaker 1: way fairly quickly and not have things stick to my
Speaker 1: hands and enjoy the moment as we're enjoying the game
Speaker 1: and watching Rihanna do things. I didn't know what you
Speaker 1: guys we're gonna be talking about, but we have bounty.
Speaker 1: So I want you to know my house, we have bounties.
Speaker 1: You try some of that other stuff that just you wrapping,
Speaker 1: steal sticking on the things, and every bounty just cleans
Speaker 1: it off. You do not need that. Listen, guys, I
Speaker 1: know you gotta go, you gotta go do some more
Speaker 1: of this, But thank you for stopping by. Thank you, guys,
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Appreciate it, and thank you, and I want
Speaker 1: your dad's watch. By the way, hanging out with us,
Speaker 1: you're as back, but you weren't lying. That was a
Speaker 1: big name, No, the all time leading rusher in the
Speaker 1: NFL who just like, I'm I'm in mid stance, I'm
Speaker 1: about to tell a story about me staying at a
Speaker 1: crappy hotel. And I turned around and there's the all
Speaker 1: time leading rusher in NFL history who's sitting down, like
Speaker 1: what the hell? And and of course his son was
Speaker 1: carrying a thing of wings. Yeah, And because you had
Speaker 1: mentioned you were hungry and you were trying to get
Speaker 1: some food, so I thought, well, look somebody must have
Speaker 1: brought wings for Danny g And I was like, well,
Speaker 1: maybe I'll have a wing. I'll break my fast for
Speaker 1: with a wing. And I'm like, well, no, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna I'm not gonna break my fast with a wing.
Speaker 1: And they were like emmitting his son were like you
Speaker 1: probably probably shouldn't do that, but that was that was
Speaker 1: kind of cool. That was good to have mmin on.
Speaker 1: So now you don't have to wait and see when
Speaker 1: I say something. When I say, we're gonna have a
Speaker 1: big name. Boom. It happened just like that. And now
Speaker 1: I'm gonna because now the next interview they give us,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be somebody. I don't know what you're talking about,
Speaker 1: but but I do have I actually do have the
Speaker 1: the paper towels that he was pitching, so I happen
Speaker 1: to have that at my house. Be sure to catch
Speaker 1: live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two
Speaker 1: a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio
Speaker 1: and the I Heart Radio app. So travel Stories. Everyone
Speaker 1: loves a good travel story, So I'll pick up where
Speaker 1: we left off before we were interrupted by the all
Speaker 1: time leaning rusher in the NFL, the great Emmitt Smith
Speaker 1: in his son. So traveling here, I didn't know until
Speaker 1: kind of before, right before we were coming, I was
Speaker 1: I was gonna be here. So the travel was booked
Speaker 1: at the last minute, and I flew an airline where
Speaker 1: you don't get a reserve seat. Um, it's an airline
Speaker 1: that had some major problems back in December. The weather,
Speaker 1: it did not go so well for them. Their stock
Speaker 1: wanting to toilet. But Tim, fine, I don't, I don't
Speaker 1: I've flown that airline before. I have no problem with it. Um.
Speaker 1: But we got there and we were in group C,
Speaker 1: and I was the next last person getting on the plane,
Speaker 1: which guaranteed I had to do the awkward excuse me,
Speaker 1: I need that middle seat, which was the next to
Speaker 1: last seat that was available. So I had to sit
Speaker 1: on the middle seat, which but unfortunately it's a very
Speaker 1: short flight from from l A to Phoenix, so it
Speaker 1: didn't take that long. But then the next layer, Danny,
Speaker 1: we get into the Valley of the Sun and we
Speaker 1: take the uber to the hotel. Now again this was
Speaker 1: all last minute. There's a massive golf tournament going on
Speaker 1: this weekend, the waste management whatever it's called, which I'm
Speaker 1: not really familiar with. I kind of goofed on it.
Speaker 1: But like if you're a hard old golf fan, this
Speaker 1: is like awesome. It's like a big party scene. And
Speaker 1: they estimate the uber driver said, there's like two hundred
Speaker 1: thousand people that are coming into this area for that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: bringing one billion dollars Phoenix. And it's like one of
Speaker 1: those things too, because you you go into Arizona and
Speaker 1: like a lot of these people, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. You're not going to the super Bowl
Speaker 1: because you can't afford it? Are you? Are you from?
Speaker 1: I think my man Don Martin back there, he's got
Speaker 1: a stack of tickets. Tickets, man, but they're clients and
Speaker 1: exactly no. So but like the waste management thing, you
Speaker 1: can get in for a few owner bucks or whatever,
Speaker 1: so you can go hang out. And I guess the
Speaker 1: way they were explaining, they're all drinking. So anyway, a
Speaker 1: point of this, all the good hotels were booked. So
Speaker 1: I was on the phone with our boss and we
Speaker 1: were trying to make travel arrangements. And originally I was
Speaker 1: just gonna come by myself. Uh and uh. He had
Speaker 1: a couple of options for hotels, and so I picked.
Speaker 1: I don't know these hotels, so I picked one of
Speaker 1: the hotels, and my wife decides, well, she wanted to
Speaker 1: come with me because I we have some family here.
Speaker 1: Her brother actually is visiting the Phoenix area just but
Speaker 1: he's not a football fan. He just happened to be here.
Speaker 1: So my wife's like, well, I want to come and
Speaker 1: hang out and whatever. So I was like, well that's great.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna be there working most of the time,
Speaker 1: but you know, and I didn't even realize we could
Speaker 1: kind of let her in a little bit to see
Speaker 1: how we do things. Uh, Jonas, Actually I learned from
Speaker 1: Jonas the other day that that was an option. I
Speaker 1: didn't know that was an option. So so anyway, we
Speaker 1: get in the uber. We go to a hotel and
Speaker 1: you know, my wife a little bit. She dresses much
Speaker 1: better than me. She wears nice clothes, dresses, jackets, jewelry.
Speaker 1: So we get out of the uber and we walk
Speaker 1: into the hotel and as we are walking in, it's
Speaker 1: like the zombie apocalypse. I don't know what kind of
Speaker 1: drugs these people are on at this hotel, but that
Speaker 1: was the first sign. Boy, this is probably not good.
Speaker 1: But maybe he's leaving. Maybe the guy's leaving and he's
Speaker 1: not staying there. So we thought, maybe that's that, Uh
Speaker 1: a bad part of town. I don't know what a
Speaker 1: bad but I've been here a lot over the years,
Speaker 1: but it didn't look like the greatest part of town.
Speaker 1: But I've been in worse places. So anyway, and I
Speaker 1: walk in, there's a guy walking out. He looks like
Speaker 1: he's been doing math or whatever. He's been up for
Speaker 1: like a week, and so I'm like, oh, this is
Speaker 1: not good. So I'm like, we go into the front
Speaker 1: of the desk where you gotta get the key and
Speaker 1: check in. There's bulletproof glass of the person. Always that's
Speaker 1: always a good sign. And for me, Ben, that takes
Speaker 1: me back to home, that makes me feel at home. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Then I'm like, well that's not a good sign. So
Speaker 1: now we've got two strikes. Um, then we got the key.
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, maybe it's you know, maybe this rooms
Speaker 1: are nice. You know, it's nice. You know, it's like
Speaker 1: it's tell me they did not have the nineteen seventies
Speaker 1: style comforter on that ugly golden kind of color. So
Speaker 1: then we keep going. We now have to get in
Speaker 1: the elevator to go up to the floor we're staying at.
Speaker 1: As we're getting into the elevator, uh, and I feel bad,
Speaker 1: but a family with groceries was coming in. They were living,
Speaker 1: they were living at the hotel. So it now it's
Speaker 1: like a homeless shelter with people doing drugs and bulletproof glass,
Speaker 1: and and it's like, oh, boy, did your wife make
Speaker 1: you leave and find another hotel? Well it gets better,
Speaker 1: So we didn't. I'm like I'm trying. I'm Benny bright Side,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to be optimistic, like, oh, it's gonna be okay,
Speaker 1: don't worry. Okay, we can make sandwich with that family. Now, remember,
Speaker 1: my wife's all dressed up, you know, and I'm dressed
Speaker 1: like a radio slob, and she's all dressed up, and
Speaker 1: so I fitted I could have stayed there. So we
Speaker 1: get to the room. The room looked like it hadn't
Speaker 1: been cleaned since the eighties, right, So there's dust, there's
Speaker 1: the doors. Had you know that black electrical Yeah, oh
Speaker 1: it was terrible. No, it didn't really smell like there
Speaker 1: was like cracks in the floor in the bathroom. It
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. And so my wife starts freaking out. She's like, well,
Speaker 1: what you're going to do the over night show? I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be here by myself. You didn't look at the
Speaker 1: Yelp or the ratings or anything on this place before
Speaker 1: you ordered into national hotel chain? It is it doesn't
Speaker 1: I would assume that if it's a national chain that
Speaker 1: they would have some you know, like if you're always
Speaker 1: should go to Yelp to get the real photos whatever.
Speaker 1: I was getting ready for the show, so I find
Speaker 1: I gave it. I mean I felt like I was
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan or something like that. I mean it was
Speaker 1: like a demilitarized zone at this point. And uh and
Speaker 1: I just I was like, you know, what reminded me
Speaker 1: of like an old school comedy, Like that's the scene
Speaker 1: from an old comedy. I was living a movie. Like
Speaker 1: I walk in my wife all dolled up, dressed up,
Speaker 1: we walk into like I feel like I was in
Speaker 1: the Tenderloin district in San Francisco, you know, one of
Speaker 1: those places. And uh, so we did end up and
Speaker 1: the guy at the hotel this out. This how crappy
Speaker 1: a hotel this is? And I'm not gonna rip the
Speaker 1: hotel because the guy couldn't have been great. My wife
Speaker 1: calls up, she has me call up actually, and we
Speaker 1: had just gotten where. We were in the room for
Speaker 1: maybe fifteen minutes, and she says, well, I'm you know,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm giving the guy the story, the sob
Speaker 1: story about how we can't stay here and all this stuff,
Speaker 1: and the guys the guy's like, Okay, what roomor in
Speaker 1: and he's like uh and my my wife she jumps in.
Speaker 1: She's like, well, it's not it's not the room. It's
Speaker 1: just you know, it's she's she's. The guy was like, total,
Speaker 1: apparently this happens all the time, and uh and so
Speaker 1: he gave us a full refund and we were out
Speaker 1: the door and we went to another hotel and odd, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was pretty it was pretty Nutso, man, on a
Speaker 1: scale of one to tend, how much better was the
Speaker 1: next hotel? Well, we're gonna talk about that because there's
Speaker 1: a funny story about it. We're gonna save that for
Speaker 1: the next podcast. There is a funny tale about that
Speaker 1: next hotel. The Tales of Travel. You've had a pretty
Speaker 1: good week, right, Dady, as far as the travel stuff,
Speaker 1: you've you've been here since. But Sunday, you guys got

Speaker 1: flight over. We me, Covino and Rich you guys all
Speaker 1: flew togainst Spot Yeah, and and j Stu from the
Speaker 1: Gottleip Show. We all flew out of Burbank together last
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon. So we board the flight. I won't say
Speaker 1: the name of the airlines, but we are you know,
Speaker 1: we're in our chairs, we're we're cool. But as soon
Speaker 1: as we get up in the sky. The flight attendant
Speaker 1: comes on and says, there is probably gonna be some
Speaker 1: turbulence and then use the word severe, severe turbulence in fact,
Speaker 1: so keep seat belts on. And because of those turbulence,
Speaker 1: no drink service, no snacks. I'm surprised to even have
Speaker 1: that on such a short flight. Well, you know, on
Speaker 1: a flight to Vegas out of l A, you'll you'll
Speaker 1: get a little bag of you know, trail mix or
Speaker 1: checks mix or whatever, and then they'll just give you
Speaker 1: like a cup of soda with ice. They won't give
Speaker 1: you the whole can maybe, but they'll pour you a
Speaker 1: cup of something. So we kind of expected that, and
Speaker 1: we were all hungry because we were in between meal times,
Speaker 1: so we're like that snacking a cup of soda is
Speaker 1: gonna be great. Well that was out the window because
Speaker 1: now we're all scared for our lives because they're using
Speaker 1: the words severe. So Cavino's turning pale because I don't
Speaker 1: think he's a good flyer, and at least from what
Speaker 1: I could see on this flight, and he's like, did
Speaker 1: you hear what he said? And he's like shifting in
Speaker 1: his his seat, and you know, the guy loved to
Speaker 1: hear himself talk. I think because he came on ten
Speaker 1: minutes later and said it again, and so now I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: oh my god, we're in for the worst turbulence of
Speaker 1: our lives. Here was it, Ben. There was not one
Speaker 1: bump in the sky on this It was smooth sailing,
Speaker 1: no issues, no problems. I swear to god. I think
Speaker 1: they did this just so they didn't have to serve
Speaker 1: us a drink or snack. But maybe they ran out
Speaker 1: of something, Like they ran out of drinks. They're like,
Speaker 1: I know what, They'll just say, there's turbulence and that's
Speaker 1: how that we won't give out the drinks and all
Speaker 1: that stuff. Yeah. I think here's my theory on pilots.
Speaker 1: I think at the beginning of every flight, they should say,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be the worst flight of your life.
Speaker 1: We're lucky if we land, and then you'll feel great,
Speaker 1: you'll feel wonderful. You'll be like, this is this is
Speaker 1: absolutely outstanding. When I get on the plane, I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's out of my hands. If anything happens, you know,
Speaker 1: that's it. You know, what are you gonna do? You know,
Speaker 1: if that's the worst thing that happened on a flight
Speaker 1: then you know it. You can't complain, you know. But
Speaker 1: he didn't to use the words severe. It's a bad words.
Speaker 1: You're good with words. You're a wordsmith. Occasionally, yes, occasionally.
Speaker 1: It's not a great not a great choice. Have you
Speaker 1: have you been on a flight with really terrible we have? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we've talked about right, And I had drinks and snacks
Speaker 1: on that flight. By the way, did you were people
Speaker 1: throwing up? I didn't see it. I didn't see any bars.
Speaker 1: You didn't see not remember the story. We didn't serve
Speaker 1: a full meal. It's not like back in the day
Speaker 1: where they'd give everybody a TV dinner. Remember we talked
Speaker 1: about that, that story that there was those kids, I
Speaker 1: think it was. It was it in Vegas or somewhere.
Speaker 1: They got food poison and they were all throwing up
Speaker 1: outside the elementary school. And it's just like it's like
Speaker 1: a scene out of a horror horror movie or the Bible,
Speaker 1: Sodom and Gomorrahs, Like, what is going on here? Brutal? Brutal, brutal.
Speaker 1: But we will continue this in a future. The Sunday
Speaker 1: edition of the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny
Speaker 1: g Now are you gonna read any questions? Is there
Speaker 1: gonna be any You know, I did not post because
Speaker 1: I figured we'd have a guest, the great EMMITTT. Smith.
Speaker 1: I didn't think we have em Att Smith on. I
Speaker 1: know we're gonna have another big name, hopefully on the
Speaker 1: Sunday Podcast, which we no, no, no, no, antell it's
Speaker 1: gonna be massive, which we're we're looking forward to. But
Speaker 1: we will. I will have the conclusion because there's more
Speaker 1: hotel shenanigans that are taking place, and we do have
Speaker 1: some loyal minions who do not wait for me to post,
Speaker 1: send questions in for the mail bag, and so we
Speaker 1: did have a few people who wrote questions in. So
Speaker 1: we'll have some a very small hybrid version of the
Speaker 1: Sunday mail Bag on the fifth hour with Ben Maller
Speaker 1: and Danny g and anything to promote here, Anything you
Speaker 1: would like to promote, Danny, anything you wanna be selling.
Speaker 1: Do you have any paper, towels, toilet paper, bottle of
Speaker 1: water you would like to promote here? No, but to
Speaker 1: be a company man. It is Saturday right now as
Speaker 1: you listen to this podcast, and what better way to
Speaker 1: prepare for the Super Bowl than to have Fox Sports
Speaker 1: Radio on NonStop, in your car, your phone, headphones, wherever
Speaker 1: you're going. And I gotta tell that, for years I
Speaker 1: did the Super Bowl show with Looney Remember shocked. Every
Speaker 1: year we say, no one's listening, everyone's watching the super
Speaker 1: Bowl and there are so many people out who are
Speaker 1: making food runs or people the living food. We would
Speaker 1: give out the phone and we have full phone lines.
Speaker 1: We had we were cleared everywhere because just about everywhere
Speaker 1: I can't get past. I keep looking at the again.
Speaker 1: I'm in a trance state looking at that cube spinning
Speaker 1: around here. This is the perfect weekend. That's like in
Speaker 1: Brazil they have the Jesus statue atop the mountain. It's
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. It is is amazing. This is the perfect
Speaker 1: weekend to use that I heart app and just type
Speaker 1: in FS are for Fox Sports Radio and take the
Speaker 1: live shows with you. Shouts out to everybody who are
Speaker 1: busting their butts, not only tearing down the stage and
Speaker 1: everything back in Phoenix getting ready for Sunday, but also
Speaker 1: back in Sherman Oaks, California, running the show from behind
Speaker 1: the scenes and on the main microphones. Yes, and I
Speaker 1: do listen. I feel the agony. Not everyone gets to
Speaker 1: go to these things, so it does you know, it sucks.
Speaker 1: I wish everyone could go, and I didn't get to
Speaker 1: go for a long time, so it's cool. The last
Speaker 1: couple of years have been awesome, and hopefully next year
Speaker 1: in Vegas also crazy and wild and all that. So
Speaker 1: I have a great rest of your day. Remember we'll
Speaker 1: have a hybrid mail bag on Sunday. And I don't
Speaker 1: think we can trap the or we we can trump
Speaker 1: the all time leading rusher in the NFL, but you

Speaker 1: might have the Andy Reid look alike. I would like
Speaker 1: to talk to that guy. I gotta get a photo
Speaker 1: of that guy, and he's still here. I'm gonna track
Speaker 1: that guy down anyway. I have a great rest of
