He's the last remnants 0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:12.480 of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:15.480 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:17.439 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. 0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:18.360 Wow. 0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:22.280 The clearing House of Hot takes break free for something special. 0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:29.400 The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now. 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:34.320 In the air eyware. The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:38.440 Mahler and Danny g Radio A Happy Sunday to you. 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:43.600 It is the fifteenth day of February, right in the middle. Actually, 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:46.159 we're past the middle point, right, there's fewer days in 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:48.480 the month of February. Racist. 0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:52.519 How come Black History Month shortest month of the twelve. 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.040 Well, hey, and then it's always you wake up like 0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:58.840 March first, like, oh my god, how is it March already? 0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:01.480 You know, because people freak out about us. Anyway, we 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:03.760 have the mailbag before we get to the mailbak. Though, 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:08.720 what we did is a psyop experiment on the Saturday podcast. 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:09.119 Danny. 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:11.440 I don't know if people were aware of that, but 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.600 we did a mind hack and I learned this from 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:18.520 the Great rich Dys years ago, one of the legendary 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:22.440 DJs in American radio history, the Great rich Dys, who said, 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:25.280 every once in a while, you know, just kind of 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:29.000 throw a mistake in there and just see if people 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:32.199 are paying attention. Just see who's actually listening and who's 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:32.800 paying attention. 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:35.720 Yeah, so you're known for your mistakes here and there, 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:39.360 but you've never really had a twenty five minute mistake before. 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:43.440 Well, I thought, I thought, Danny, it's February, let's just 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:47.040 see if people are really engaged in the product. And 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:50.320 so I thought it would be fun to go into 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:54.600 the remote studio and kind of pull the do hickey 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:58.920 out of the box that connect a microphone. And then 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:00.640 I thought it would also be good I did andy 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.480 to sit down and spend half an hour of my 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:07.600 life apping and then record it and then send it 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:09.480 out to the masses. I thought all those things would 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.919 be good ideas, and it happened, and it really worked. 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:16.000 I thought, in terms of bag quality audio, that was 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:19.600 the greatest possible bag quality audio podcast we've ever done. 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:23.160 I am such a radio loser proud of that. 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.000 And you are the radio version of the quad God. 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:29.320 People are expecting gold and you gave them a fall 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:29.880 on the ice. 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.920 Oh not everyone wins the gold. Some people win the bronze, 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.280 and some people just finish fifth, you know, and that's it, 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:36.520 and that happens. 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.040 But you know what, though, Ben, you could hear all 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:42.000 your words, and the little audio note I put in 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:45.280 front of your Saturday pod was that you sounded like 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:47.680 a professor in front of a class. And I was 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.000 in the chair in the back. 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:52.760 Yes, so it's like you were eavesdropping in the conversation, 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.840 you know. And yes, sometimes that's better. Sometimes that's better 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.720 that way. We've decided, for some reason to get back 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:02.200 to the normal microphones on this mail bag podcast. And 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.360 we have a bunch of mail. I don't know if 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.960 it's because of the nonsense yesterday. We have a lot 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.520 of mail to get to Danny and I think, ohio 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:12.040 Al needs to get us in the mood. What do 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:12.400 you think? 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:24.880 I think Jim Gray's audience joined us. It's this mail bag. 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:33.040 All right, let's get to it. Here we go. These 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:35.960 are actual letters by actual listeners to the show. You 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:39.720 can email a future mail bag send it care of 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:44.000 Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. All letters, no numbers. 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:47.400 Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com and put your 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:50.720 name and city if you want any kind of credit, 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.920 otherwise we'll just rip you and goof on you and 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:58.440 things like that. First up is Logan from Saint Paul, 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:00.480 Minnesota home. I have one of the great juice losey 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:02.880 places right across the street from the high school that 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:06.720 Paul Molitor, a Baseball Hall of Famer, and Joe Mauer 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:08.920 who shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame but is 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:13.160 attended high school. There's a really good juicy lucy place. Anyway, 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:15.800 Logan rites Sin says Ben and Danny g is this 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:19.800 the greatest salesperson in the world? And he sent me 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.280 a story. Did you see this, Danny? A six year 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:26.360 old girl from Pennsylvania. Do you see how many boxes 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:27.680 of Girl Scouts she's sold? 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.560 Yeah? I did see this on social media. 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.120 So this six year old girl set a record. She 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:39.280 sold it says here, over eighty five thousand boxes of cookies. 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:44.000 And she's aiming to get to one hundred thousand boxes 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:44.760 of cookies. 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:47.120 And so now that's a hustler. 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:51.120 So Logan asked about that. I would say, Logan, she's 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.560 not the greatest salesperson in the world. Her parents are 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:58.120 the greatest salespeople. And the only way that works, like 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.000 the math on that, right, the only way that works 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:01.400 is you got to have the parents. You gotta have 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:03.520 the grandparents, You got to have the cousins, the uncles, 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.839 Like that's a whole family thing. I don't think she's 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:11.000 sitting in front of the Kroger and selling eighty five 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:14.000 thousand box at eighty seven thousand boxes of cookies like 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:17.040 there's some real there's a racket going on there, there's 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:20.320 a wreck and I have some boxes my wife at work. 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.600 She picked up some boxes of Girl Scout cookies from 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.279 somebody at work. And I love how they say there's 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:28.320 no you cannot resell the boxes. They put it on 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:30.600 the box that only the little girls can resell. 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:31.520 It. 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.720 Isn't there like a black market for Girls Scout cookie 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:35.680 You could sell those things, right? I mean I don't 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:39.760 not to opposed to, but you could. So yeah. Look, 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.200 I don't know what to make of that other than 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:45.520 the fact that she's got a really loving family that 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:47.599 bought a lot. I mean, she just looks like a normal, 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:51.000 like little cute, chubby, six year old girl. I don't know, 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:51.720 It's like. 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:56.799 I just saw the headline, So I haven't read the story, 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.479 does it say ben? Is there a story to click on, 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.880 like where her dad or mom works, or how she 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:03.119 sold that many. 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:10.320 Her father stated that she's unstoppable. It's not come on. 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:14.200 They were hoping to see her prizes, including a trip 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:19.200 to Niagara Falls, and funded future projects with it. For 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:24.080 her troop, she initially aimed to sell the most boxes 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:28.840 among her group of eleven kindergarteners, and then she reached 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.120 five thousand boxes. She shifted her focus to breaking the 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.760 state record, then quickly pushed past ten thousand. Blah blah blah, 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:37.479 blah blah. The family has used Facebook and TikTok. 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:41.760 Okay, so she went viral in yeah, took off like wildfire. 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:46.839 Yes, posted by Atritional door to door sales that the 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:50.000 girl knocked on doors after school and on weekends when 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:53.240 weather permitted. She also called supporters handed out fly I've 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:54.479 come on to Benny. 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.760 This brings up a good topic. As a kid, did 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.840 you ever go door to door and sell anything? Uh? 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:05.400 Well, I did have to. My mom ran a like 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.480 a thing, a mailing service, so I put flyers on doors, 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:10.960 but I didn't really like knock on doors. I did 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.920 deliver the newspaper and I had to collect money, and 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:15.440 back in those days you had to go to the 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.320 house and get the money. But not a traditional door 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.240 to door salesperson. That wasn't doing that. Of the Mormons, 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:22.560 I didn't do any of that stuff. 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:27.080 Well, how about this. When I was at Paradise Valley 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:31.680 Elementary School, Silicon Valley, they had us going door to 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:33.400 door selling light bulbs. 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:34.880 Light bulbs? 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:39.000 What the light bulbs? And now my teacher she I 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.880 don't know if the school signed off on this, but 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:45.800 on weekends even she would take us to these neighborhoods 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:50.600 outside of San Jose, California in her car. Supposedly we 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:54.040 were fundraising. To this day, I wonder about that if 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:57.720 it was some shady business she had going on well 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:01.000 side hustle, Yeah, you know, I think about it because 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:03.200 we sold a lot of Think about it. You go 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:05.880 to people's homes and you're like, hey, don't you hate 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.560 it when you run out of light bulbs? And the 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:10.280 people at the door were kind of like, yeah, you 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.680 know what, Actually I could use some light bulbs. So 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:16.480 it was not a very hard sell. Brilliant look get 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.360 that trying to hustle and the next school year that 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:21.720 teacher was driving a Mercedes Benz. 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:25.920 Thanks to you. Oh oh yeah, yeah, she's you know, 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.680 and nowadays you can do that, but back then, now 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:32.040 there'd be people out protesting. Scott from Florida writes in 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:35.120 He says, hey't been and Danny, after five years of normalcy, 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.520 I'm going back to working the night shift. Can you 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.480 please give me a pep talk help me remember why 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:43.880 the night shift is better. I am not thrilled, but 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:46.199 I know you are a big night shift proponent. That's 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:50.439 Scott from Florida. Yeah, yes, got. There's many advantages to 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.719 the night shift. The fact that you don't have your 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:58.120 boss breathing down your neck, that would be big. It's 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:03.000 just a little calmer at night. I'm wired. You might 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:04.800 not be wired that way, hard wired that way, but 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:08.000 I just feel more creative at night than I do 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.439 during the day usually, so that's nice. 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:14.760 And no traffic driving to and from your job usually there's. 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:17.080 Not a lot of traffic. I also liked the fact 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:21.280 that when you work the night shift your days off, 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.240 you still stay up late at night and you just 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.600 kind of have the run of the place and you 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:31.200 have time during the day before work. You can go 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.480 out and do stuff and things are usually open and 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.839 all that. I I just enjoy. I think it's great 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.000 and I've done it in a long time. And if 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:40.800 they paid me enough money, I'd go to the day shift. 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.600 But other than that, I like doing the night thing. 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:45.840 I like this. You know what I missed about that 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.840 shift was running errands in the morning when other people 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.400 are in a hurry to get to work. You already 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.520 finished your shift, so I'd be walking around grocery stores 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.280 and it was just me and senior citizens in. 0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:59.440 There, senior sneaker crowd. 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:00.360 Yeah, yeah, for sure. 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:02.720 Welcome back to the night shifts. 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:02.920 Guy. 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:06.280 We'll be glad to do live radio at night for you. 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:13.000 We Bulldog, We Bulldog in Fullerton says, oh no, happy 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:17.520 post Super Bowl Sunday, Ben and Danny G a few points. First, 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:21.040 Demolition Man was the movie Danny G was talking about 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:24.960 with a taco bell scene in the future. Second, he 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:28.120 says Max Crosby playing his last game as a Raider, 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:32.120 but Derek Carr is coming back, so it's a wash. Third, 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:35.120 did you ever do you ever listen to Jerome and 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:39.000 Charleston's call to some political show A caller brought up 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.720 a while ago. It's the third rail, mom man, But 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:45.000 it's pretty hilarious. Happens around the twenty seven minute mark. 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.880 He sent me a link we Bulldog. I have not 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:49.840 had a chance to listen to it yet. He says, 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.640 would either of you get a call from the bosses 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:56.560 if you let a caller rant and rant about politics 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.360 for too long on your weekday? 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.440 You had a whole segment on Bad Bunny. That's the 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:04.480 third rail, my man. 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:10.520 No, I think people tune in not to hear about politics. 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.439 Sometimes you can't help it, though, because things become political, 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:18.440 like Bad Bunny had become political and all that. But uh, yeah, 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:21.280 you know, it's got to know if you sell cheeseburgers, 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:24.800 like you look at in and out Burger, they sell hamburgers. 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.920 They don't sell chicken, they don't sell fish, they sell hamburgers. 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:29.840 They see all they have. That's people tune in for that. 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.000 They want the they want the cheeseburgers. 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:35.920 So yeah, you know what's interesting is the evolution of 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:39.080 our format. Though you and I had to deal with 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:43.240 stick the sports guy for a long time. Yeah, why 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:46.400 don't you guys just stick to sports? Now there's actually 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:49.199 listeners who ask us, why didn't you guys talk about 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.480 that or talk about this? You guys should you know, 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.280 you should give us your opinion on everything. 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:57.360 Yeah. The other thing I've learned is that from going 0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:59.800 out and doing the Mallard meet and greets that we've 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:03.439 done over the years, like most people a aren't that political, 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:07.719 and so that people think everyone's like worked up into 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.600 a ladder because they get fooled by the matrix and 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:14.319 that whatever that is where everyone freaks out over everything. 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.720 But in my experience actually meeting boots on the ground, 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:20.440 most people just trying to get through the life. They 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:23.280 know they're not that worked up politically. They might roll 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:26.400 their eyes at stuff that somebody does that they don't 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:28.960 agree with politically, but they're not like worked up into 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:32.760 a ladder and all that. And also the stuff you 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.360 see online compared to the real world in terms of 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:38.400 where people are politically just in general, even when they're 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:42.680 really worked up politically, is not what you're led to believe. 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:46.040 So yeah, I think there's a lot of listeners who 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:49.040 are just like us, where their focus is on sports 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:53.000 maybe entertainment, But you're right, politics, I don't listen to 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:55.960 political radio or any of that stuff. I honestly I 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:57.080 don't like that format. 0:12:57.880 --> 0:12:59.800 Yeah, I pay attention to it, but I'm not a 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.560 cess with it. Like I don't run my life around 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:05.360 politics and things like that. I'm just like I'm trying 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:08.679 to get through do my thing. That's it. But yeah, 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:12.800 there are limits. We couldn't help during the Well, it's 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:16.160 been really, it's been ten years, right, Remember in twenty 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:17.800 sixteen that presidential race. 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.400 Good I was there on the air with you and 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:24.240 we played we broke into live programming and we put 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:27.800 the CNN feed on the air, remember, and we played 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:31.160 Donald Trump's acceptance speech on your show. 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:36.480 To a tag o volliyah. Yeah, my god, that's been 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:40.319 ten years, right. And then I think it was twenty 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:42.680 sixteen he took over, and then or was the election 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:46.200 in twenty sixteen, I don't remember, it was around that time. 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:50.160 And then obviously four years and then, god, man, seems 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:53.240 like a couple of days ago, or at least a 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:56.680 couple of months ago. Wild let's see out. 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:57.480 Also of the retirement. 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:01.000 My man, man, it's flying bob oh, you got us 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:04.840 got slow down the rocket ship on my head alf 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:08.040 from the mailroom. What's in the box. Well, listen, alf, 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:10.520 I'm glad you brought this up, and I apologize for 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:13.880 not bringing this up sooner. So I did a heartfelt 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:18.960 eulogy to the character known as Roscoe the Parrot and 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:23.240 his keeper David from winter Park, Florida, who we are 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:28.640 ninety eight percent sure passed away. No official announcement came down. 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:35.080 There was a there was a posting in Florida in 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:39.440 the town where he lived, with details. Someone by his 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.400 name David from winter Park, Florida, who had a I 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.920 didn't know his exact birth date but had a similar birthdate, 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:47.720 passed away and we had not heard from David in 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:49.800 a while. So I did a tribute to David and 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:53.040 Roscoe the Parrot. This is the guy that drove from 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:56.360 winter Park, Florida all the way up to Boston for 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:58.800 a one and a half hour maler meet and greet 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:01.520 we did at the cask in Flat, and he had 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.920 his character. He called the show Roscoe the Parrot, and 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:07.520 it was it was crazy because I said, Hey, where's 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.000 Roscoe the Parrot? When he showed up to the thing 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:10.640 in Boston, he said, oh, you want to meet Roscoe. 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:12.640 I said, yeah, I want to meet Roscoe. So David 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:15.120 walked out and then I thought he was going to 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:18.320 get the parrot. And then like thirty minutes later, so 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.880 he walked back in and I got Roscoe the parrot. 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:23.560 I said, I don't see I don't see a parrot. 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:26.720 You're making that up. And he said it's behind my back. 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.560 I said, oh really, and then he pulled a stuffed 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:33.760 animal parrot and my guy Danny Alf, I'll post some 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:39.000 photos on it today and Facebook. So Alf sent me 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:42.920 in the mail like a brother of Roscoe the parrots. 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:45.960 So I have now in my possession.

I've done NASCAR mogs. I used to 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:33.119 do one a year. I do four golf monologues a 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:36.600 year for the majors. I'm down to really one golf 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:40.560 monologue a year that's at the Masters in April. That's 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:44.200 usually the old we do now on golf because it's 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:47.000 so boring to talk about. 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.240 And normally on your show, we would do it with 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:52.200 the pickham We would we would pick the NASCAR drinkers. 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:54.760 Yeah yeah, the Daytona pick them. Yeah yeah, that's right. 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:58.000 Got rid of the pick them. Lorraine is not really 0:18:58.080 --> 0:18:59.760 up on the sports stuff, so it's hard. 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:01.680 To be I didn't know you didn't do pick him anymore? 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:04.600 Yeah, we you know, we just couldn't do it. She's 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:07.040 she's not a sports fan, so it's hard just me 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:09.080 and Coop. It's kind of Eddie's got off the show, 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:13.160 so how about shut up? Really kind of an impossible 0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:15.400 bit to do the way the show's at right now, 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:17.520 what else do we have to see? A next one? 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:20.280 Kwang from Ho Chi Minh Vietnam rights and he says 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:25.080 Big Ben and Danny g radio happy belated National Soup Day. 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:29.600 He says, I was I guess yesterday was the show 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:32.359 soup Day? Earlier this month is my nod goes to 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:37.040 chicken noodle soup. Chicken noodle soup's fun. I like chicken 0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:39.480 noodle soup, which is like mock. You put matza ball 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:42.040 soup in there. He can do the French onion. 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:42.120 And all that. 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:46.520 And then he says, the definition of hullaballoo is as follows, 0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:52.080 a loud, continued noise or mixture of noises, or a 0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:55.720 state of commotion, excitement and violent disturbance and uproar. Yeah, 0:19:56.080 --> 0:20:01.880 I use hullabaloo as a state of commotion. Pandemonium would 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:03.480 be another word you can use, but I do like 0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:06.080 the word hullabaloo. He says, the next time you're in 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:10.480 North Carolina, will you be visiting Hullabaloo of Flat Rock 0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:14.560 for breakfast, lunch and more. And then he sent me 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:20.800 the menu there from the Hullaballoo restaurant, which is a 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:26.200 good name. They've got their traditional buttermilk pancakes. You can 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:30.920 get hash bowl vegan hash that want that roasted carrots 0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:32.760 and yogurt. That sounds disgusting. 0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:39.160 Now, what are the other words that are really fun 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:41.240 to say? I like bamboozled. 0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:46.280 Bamboozle's great. I love bamboozoled. Schmndrick is a good word. 0:20:46.480 --> 0:20:48.920 I use that a fair amount, a lot of the 0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:51.560 older words. 0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:54.840 The old yeah yeah, and some of the slang that 0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:58.280 you grew up with. Like I was impressed because last 0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:00.680 Friday CNR kept using word schlub. 0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:05.720
