Speaker 1: Kabooms.
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 sol fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in.
Speaker 1: The air everywhere, in the eye of the storm, a
Speaker 1: thirst for knowledge. It is the Fifth Hour with Ben
Speaker 1: Mahler and Danny g Radio as we patch together and
Speaker 1: exciting Sunday podcast. And you know what this is now,
Speaker 1: this is not just Sunday. It's not just the last
Speaker 1: podcast that we're gonna do in the month of April. No, no, no, Danny,
Speaker 1: it is in the bag. Are you ready to go
Speaker 1: on the bag?
Speaker 3: The mail bag? Mother sucker.
Speaker 4: That means oh, hi, oh, it's in the bag.
Speaker 1: Right to the mail bag we go as many. We
Speaker 1: have tons of emails. I think we've gotten more email
Speaker 1: this week than we have in months. Danny the mail
Speaker 1: bag blowing up. People love the mail bag, which is
Speaker 1: a lot different than Aspen. This is not Aspen and people, No, no,
Speaker 1: it's not. People confuse it. It's not and it's it's
Speaker 1: really upsetting that people think this is Ask Ben, because
Speaker 1: it's bull.
Speaker 3: It's bull crap ask two point zero.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, that's
Speaker 1: not true at all. All right, So right, Mike from
Speaker 1: Fullerton writes in he says, hello, hello, Hello, No, that's
Speaker 1: a good we didn't do that this weekend. Damn. All right, Hello,
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny g Now that Fox Sports Radio change studios,
Speaker 1: do you have any idea what's going to happen to
Speaker 1: the old one? Do you think it'll be turned into
Speaker 1: a podcast studio, a hobo encampment, or maybe they'll just
Speaker 1: burn it down. What do you think? Oh, it's a
Speaker 1: great question. Right now, there's nothing in there. It's just
Speaker 1: the same. They haven't done anything to it. At least
Speaker 1: what I saw the other day, it's the same. I
Speaker 1: think what they should do is make it a Denny's again,
Speaker 1: because it was originally a Denny's.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I ill d you need a switch it up
Speaker 3: and making an ie hop this time either.
Speaker 1: Way, but your egg's over Miami. You need some pancakes.
Speaker 1: You go into the old studio boom.
Speaker 3: We could be the first ever sports radio network to
Speaker 3: serve up hotcakes and hot cakes.
Speaker 1: Oh there you go. That sounds like a slogan on
Speaker 1: a billboard. Sign me up for that, right, Yeah. I
Speaker 1: don't know what are they gonna do? Is he just
Speaker 1: gonna lay dormant? I don't know what they're going to
Speaker 1: do because a lot of those shows are moving across
Speaker 1: the burbank, a lot of the supposedly, I don't know
Speaker 1: that'll happen.
Speaker 3: I don't know our vending machines over there though. So
Speaker 3: when I walked past it last Friday, there were a
Speaker 3: couple of sleeping bags in the main studio.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was the one request that Eddie Garcia had.
Speaker 1: Eddie was complaining because his studio door the update studio
Speaker 1: is right near the front of the building and you'd
Speaker 1: have to walk all the way to the back. So
Speaker 1: Eddie wanted the vending machine move. That was on his list.
Speaker 3: I like that, good job, Eddie.
Speaker 1: My lips have been on it. What are the chances
Speaker 1: that that happens?
Speaker 3: What are the chances zero percent of that?
Speaker 1: I don't think. I tell you what, I don't think
Speaker 1: it's that out of bounds. I'll tell you why. If
Speaker 1: you own the vending machine, wouldn't you want the vending
Speaker 1: machine pushed to the front. Now, the company might not
Speaker 1: want it in the front of the building because it
Speaker 1: kind of looks bad.
Speaker 3: That's why I think there's zero percent chance, because this
Speaker 3: is going to be sightline when the executives walk in
Speaker 3: through the front doors.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because where the vending machine is now, Mike, it's
Speaker 1: so far in the back. No executives make it that
Speaker 1: far in the back. It's near the old Nicky six studio,
Speaker 1: and that used to be there. Used to be a
Speaker 1: country show that came out of there from nat and
Speaker 1: moved to Nashville. So I'm not sure what they're gonna
Speaker 1: do with the podcast studio to answer that question, or
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do with the old studio. Are they
Speaker 1: going to repurpose it? I don't know. I have no idea.
Speaker 1: Depends how much money it costs, right, Isn't that usually
Speaker 1: the determining factor on all these things usually?
Speaker 3: You know, though, if they start pulling down those signs,
Speaker 3: we got to get in on that.
Speaker 1: Damn right. I'm I definitely want one of those signs.
Speaker 1: Orlando from Hampton Roads Virginia. Right, Sandy says, is there
Speaker 1: anything you or Danny g wish you could add to.
Speaker 3: The new studio?
Speaker 1: Oh, you got a half hour, we'd like to sauce
Speaker 1: it up a little bit. Yeah. I mean there's a
Speaker 1: lot of little things that if you were designed your
Speaker 1: own studio, you would you would keep those things in
Speaker 1: mind and you would want them. And that's not designed
Speaker 1: for us. It's designed for somebody else. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's brand spanking new kind of It's as we said,
Speaker 1: is a lot of big names have been in there
Speaker 1: over the years.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I mean I guess they did the best
Speaker 3: with the space that was available to them, because it
Speaker 3: wasn't like they just completely started from scratch. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I will tell you the one thing that I love,
Speaker 1: probably more than anything about the studio is the ability
Speaker 1: to make it like an ice box. And I'm not
Speaker 1: sure how this is going to go because the old
Speaker 1: studio we used to have air conditioning, and then somebody
Speaker 1: knocked some a hole, knocked the air conditioning thing off
Speaker 1: the wall. So when they put it back in, they
Speaker 1: put a generic one which you couldn't change the temperature
Speaker 1: in the room. And I like to be an eskimo,
Speaker 1: is that offensive? I like to I don't know. I
Speaker 1: love it cold. So I went in the other It's
Speaker 1: a true story, hand to gud. So I go in
Speaker 1: there the other night, my opening Salam in the new studio.
Speaker 1: You've got the cameras. All the lights are on because
Speaker 1: we're doing like an Internet TV thing, you know, the
Speaker 1: Internet guys are doing their thing. Jason and Harmon are
Speaker 1: getting off the air. I go in there and I
Speaker 1: just sit down and I start talking and I'm sweating. Date,
Speaker 1: I have like flop sweat. It was like eighty degrees
Speaker 1: in there, and then I realized, wait a minute, I
Speaker 1: can turn the temperature down. So I turned it down
Speaker 1: about fifty two degrees and I loved it. Was great.
Speaker 1: It was the most comfortable I have been doing a
Speaker 1: radio show at Fox in years, probably ten years. I'm
Speaker 1: not exaggerating. It was so cold. It was great, wonderful.
Speaker 3: Dang, I need my own room. I don't like sharing.
Speaker 3: I don't like the board operator telling me it's too cold.
Speaker 3: It's too cold, see turn more lights on. I don't
Speaker 3: like those stupid French fry lamps above us, the track lighting.
Speaker 3: I don't like that. I don't like how hot it
Speaker 3: is in the studio, and most of the guys, for
Speaker 3: whatever reason, most of the tech producers like the studio
Speaker 3: to be warm.
Speaker 1: A bunch of weirdos already warm. You have so much equipment,
Speaker 1: electronic equipment that it's much warmer in that room. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and what are these people? Zombies? What was wrong with
Speaker 1: these people?
Speaker 3: You know? I give Roberto a lot of props for
Speaker 3: the fact that he likes the same temperature I do.
Speaker 1: The great mass of ratis there? You go? All right,
Speaker 1: let's see here al from blah blah blah rights and
Speaker 1: he says, there is is there a pool at FSR
Speaker 1: on who will be the first on air personality to
Speaker 1: either spill or break something in the shiny new studio.
Speaker 1: I'm guessing by the time that you read this, it
Speaker 1: already happened. And know, the phones not working does not count.
Speaker 1: According to alf now Burying nash Feel had a similar question.
Speaker 1: He says, yoyo, Ma, Benny, how long do you give
Speaker 1: it before the heathens at FSR totally trash the new studio?
Speaker 1: So I believe by the time I get back tonight, oh, because.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be the weekend slobs.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, they actually hire Neanderthals to work on the weekends.
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't know this, but they're like
Speaker 1: cavemen that come in there and they're Steve Hartman undomesticated animals.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, And these people can't go more than a
Speaker 1: segment without eating. And they're like there's whole chickens. There's
Speaker 1: like the carcass of a chicken in the trash can,
Speaker 1: and then there's like they like a lot of smelly
Speaker 1: foods fish, like a half eaten salmon, and then there's
Speaker 1: some other you know, I have weird fish over there,
Speaker 1: and it's it's a big freaking nightmare. So yeah, and
Speaker 1: they don't pick up the trash on the weekends. So
Speaker 1: even though there have been multiple memos, internal memos at
Speaker 1: the company saying do not eat in the studios, treat
Speaker 1: this like a new car. Yeah, guarantee you somebody say, well,
Speaker 1: when I buy a new car, I go to Taco
Speaker 1: Bell and I get seventeen burritos and five tacos and
Speaker 1: I eat them in the car and I put nacho
Speaker 1: cheese on everything.
Speaker 3: So anyway, you can see what their bedroom looks like
Speaker 3: at their house.
Speaker 1: Oh, oh, their bathroom for that oh nasty. Patricia living
Speaker 1: in Vegas right, since she's from the Great Northeast. She says, hello,
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny, Gee, what is up with your microphone?
Speaker 3: Ben?
Speaker 1: Everyone is loud enough on your show, but your microphone
Speaker 1: hasn't been loud in a long time except when you're yelling.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I thought the mic was fine. I thought my mic
Speaker 1: was fine. I prefer just a preference. I like the
Speaker 1: other microphone I know I use, actually the studio we
Speaker 1: use for the podcast. This mic is the same one
Speaker 1: we have, yea, but I like the other. I like
Speaker 1: the other microphone. I prefer that one better that we
Speaker 1: used to use.
Speaker 3: The other one was silver mic. You're on a black mic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, once you go black, you know, it's a
Speaker 1: big thing. It's a big microphone thing. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: So I can't answer that, Patricia. I thought it sounded okay.
Speaker 1: It was odd. I was hearing some weird noise in
Speaker 1: the background. I don't sure what that was. I thought
Speaker 1: it sounded like a TV show or something, which seemed
Speaker 1: like a problem. But that's on the list, and they'll
Speaker 1: suck it up and they'll fix it and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: Fred from Spring, Texas writes and he says, Hi, guys,
Speaker 1: great show. It makes my wig and think about that.
Speaker 1: We make Fred in Spring Texas this weekend. Danny just
Speaker 1: by providing the podcast. That's enough. Yes, he's a simple man.
Speaker 1: He's a simple man. He says, what are your some
Speaker 1: of your favorite He says, TV. But we've answered this
Speaker 1: more but radio shows from present and past. So we're
Speaker 1: connoisseurs of radio. I've often mentioned some of the big
Speaker 1: influence of mine when I was coming up in radio
Speaker 1: from the past, the Jim Healy Show. If you want
Speaker 1: to know what that sounds like on YouTube, type in
Speaker 1: Jim Healey Radio Show. There's some old clips on YouTube.
Speaker 1: You can hear some of the nonsense that inspired me
Speaker 1: to get into radio. And I loved Art Bell. Coast
Speaker 1: to Coast was a big thing my mom and I
Speaker 1: remember driving in the car with my mom and it
Speaker 1: would be the Paul Harvey Good Day and it would
Speaker 1: be you know, the news and in a minute you're
Speaker 1: about to hear the rest of the story. So that
Speaker 1: was always a big thing to hear him. And then
Speaker 1: early Howard Stern before he went woke and all that.
Speaker 1: I loved the old Stern show. That was a big
Speaker 1: influence on me too. So those are a few of
Speaker 1: the shows that stand out any old radio or current radio. Well,
Speaker 1: obviously you like Covino and Rich, but anything else that
Speaker 1: stands out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when I was a little kid, I remember my
Speaker 3: mom driving us around in the car and these two
Speaker 3: guys used to come on the air, Dave and Ben
Speaker 3: and No No No, And my mom was like, oh,
Speaker 3: these guys are good. They're on David. Guys, it's Dave
Speaker 3: and Ben. And we'd all gather around the car radio speakers.
Speaker 1: Noses growing Pinocchio, you know, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: One of the shows when I was a kid, I
Speaker 1: used to call and anybody who's an old timer in
Speaker 1: Vegas will know this name. There's a guy named Lee
Speaker 1: Pete and on Sunday night. This is how long ago
Speaker 1: this was a little kid. I'd scan the dial. I
Speaker 1: got a station. I was living in southern California. I
Speaker 1: got in Orange County. I got a station out of Vegas.
Speaker 1: It was Kaydon. It was the Stardust Line Sunday night
Speaker 1: from ten o'clock till midnight, and they had the lines.
Speaker 1: They gave them the lines, and this is before the internet,
Speaker 1: so they would announce the lines on this they called
Speaker 1: the Stardust line for like the following football games the
Speaker 1: following week.
Speaker 3: And it was like, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: It's so archaic to think about now because everything's immediately
Speaker 1: updated and it's just the way of the world now.
Speaker 1: But back then, it was like it was a big deal.
Speaker 1: And I would I would call it as a kid
Speaker 1: to a gambling show on a Sunday night, and occasionally
Speaker 1: they would it would put me on, and so I
Speaker 1: do I do have fun memories of that, and and uh,
Speaker 1: and then there's some other shows. I told the story before.
Speaker 1: There was one other show out of Vegas I called
Speaker 1: into and I was terrible as a caller, and they
Speaker 1: kept putting me on, and I like, I don't understand,
Speaker 1: Like why did they keep putting me on?
Speaker 3: And then.
Speaker 1: Finally one of the hosts kind of pointed out to
Speaker 1: me that they had no other callers, that I was
Speaker 1: the only call.
Speaker 3: You know, one honorable mention. He's been on our podcast,
Speaker 3: the first guy I remember being syndicated southern California all
Speaker 3: the way up to northern California.
Speaker 1: Scottie Farrell, Oh Farrell on the bench.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do you remember being a little kid listening
Speaker 3: to him popping open alcoholic beverages that the listeners would
Speaker 3: ask him to pour for them. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I listened to Scott too, and I became friends with
Speaker 1: him over the years working in the business. And I
Speaker 1: remember the first time I ever saw Scott do his
Speaker 1: show live. We were at the National Sports Grill in
Speaker 1: Waynea Park, which no longer exists near Not's Berry Farm,
Speaker 1: and Scott was doing the show. He had the microphone
Speaker 1: in one hand and a beer in the other, and
Speaker 1: he was drinking. I thought he was I thought it
Speaker 1: was an act. I thought, Oh, he's not really drinking,
Speaker 1: he's just saying that.
Speaker 3: No, he was drinking, and he graduated to some other
Speaker 3: party favors.
Speaker 1: Yes, and maybe even when he was on this podcast
Speaker 1: he might have been partaking. I don't know. I have
Speaker 1: no idea. Next up is Hillbilly Mike. He says, Hey, Ben,
Speaker 1: recently I sent you a link and a photo of
Speaker 1: a Malard Militia's shirt, only to find out, you know,
Speaker 1: it was not yours. To inform me the shirt had
Speaker 1: Mallard Militia, Ben Maller show in the air everywhere on
Speaker 1: all that stuff, I said, these guys might as well
Speaker 1: be eating out of your refrigerator when you're not at home.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming you have copy You have not copyrighted any
Speaker 1: of your phrases or name or anything like that, but
Speaker 1: if you had, would you go after them? And does
Speaker 1: it burn your biscuits that someone is making money off
Speaker 1: of what you've built because it burns mine? There you go,
Speaker 1: I think you should kick them in the nuts. Hillbilly Mike.
Speaker 1: So I did see the shirt. It is not anything
Speaker 1: that I signed off on. It's not even really a
Speaker 1: good looking shirt, so I think it's old. There have
Speaker 1: been a few things we've done over the years, but
Speaker 1: I don't think they sold any of those things, to
Speaker 1: be honest.
Speaker 2: With I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe they did. I have no idea, But like I said,
Speaker 1: Hillbilly Mike, we are planning on since the Minnesota shirt
Speaker 1: went well, if you didn't hear that on the one
Speaker 1: of the previous podcasts, we're planning on rolling out other stuff.
Speaker 1: But it's the way this T shirt stuff works the
Speaker 1: people were talking to. It's kinda because you can't just
Speaker 1: leave it open because if costs, you've got to have
Speaker 1: a certain end date. You got to order by a
Speaker 1: certain date or else The cost gets out of hand.
Speaker 1: So that's kind of it's going to be pre order.
Speaker 1: If we do anything else, and if people want it,
Speaker 1: they can order it, we'll put a cutoff date on
Speaker 1: that and that'll be that'll be all. Also, people were like,
Speaker 1: what about a Danny G shirt, Danny any T shirts,
Speaker 1: Danny G Radio merchandise, Danny any of that available?
Speaker 3: No, you got to do that, man, Yeah, that would
Speaker 3: be cool. Maybe after my son is born, I'll take
Speaker 3: a picture of him like Biggie did when he was
Speaker 3: a little baby. I'll turn my son into the next
Speaker 3: star wrapper put him on his shirt.
Speaker 1: Boom, there you go, and Last Name Radio it'll.
Speaker 3: Be a bigger Yeah, Bigie radio.
Speaker 1: I love Biggie Biggie Radio for sure. Mixed up. Let's
Speaker 1: see here. We've got Dave and Rosco the Parrot from
Speaker 1: winter Park, Florida says, go raise Ben, what's your favorite beer?
Speaker 1: And Emmett in Olympia, Washington says, what is your guys
Speaker 1: go to drink besides water?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: So I'm not a big beer drinker. Dave and Roscoe
Speaker 1: the Parrot, I do like that root beer beer, which
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't like, but that's got high
Speaker 1: alcohol content and it tastes like root beer and you don't.
Speaker 1: It doesn't taste like alcohol and it's wonderful. So I
Speaker 1: love that. And then Emmett, who's not old enough to
Speaker 1: drink yet, I don't believe, he says, what do you
Speaker 1: drink other than water? So my guilty pleasure is I
Speaker 1: like lemonade. I don't drink soda, but I'll have some
Speaker 1: lemonade from time to time. Or cranberry juice I got
Speaker 1: mixed together banana, Oh not banana, pineapple juice and cranberry juice. Well,
Speaker 1: no kind of soft cocktail type thing. What about you, Danny.
Speaker 3: Man, I drink nothing but regular coke. No, I'm kidding.
Speaker 3: And this is my last chair on the podcast because
Speaker 3: I'll be dead. Besides water, let's see, you know, I
Speaker 3: drink vitamin water, the zero zero vitamin water, Triple X,
Speaker 3: the purple one. That's good. Also, we have those packets
Speaker 3: of sugar free flavors that you mix and I guess
Speaker 3: they got some vitamins that them too, you mix into water.
Speaker 1: Crystal light are those electrolytes? Because Tom Brady was a
Speaker 1: big olayeah that was remember hit that was his michigasp yes,
Speaker 1: he said he would drink I think it was like
Speaker 1: eighty No, it's twenty five glasses of water. You have
Speaker 1: to add electrolytes.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, speaking of that, I guess the zero gatorade
Speaker 3: that's a regular at the house. And as far as alcohol,
Speaker 3: I would go dark beer then Japanese beer like sapporo.
Speaker 3: That's really good because you can add the hot sake
Speaker 3: to it make a soake bomb.
Speaker 1: Nice air force, Andrew writes, And he says, man, who
Speaker 1: is the member of the Malin militia that got thrown
Speaker 1: out at the Malor event in Bakersfield. Come on, you're
Speaker 1: just Andrew better than that. You're just surfing searching for
Speaker 1: a compliment, is what you're doing. Bad job by you.
Speaker 1: Shame on you. What's wrong with you? It's embarrassing.
Speaker 3: Be better. Remember how he changed his clothes in the
Speaker 3: parking lot to throw off.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, that was so funny. He had a Yankee
Speaker 1: like a Derek Jeter pinstripe yankee shirt and hat and
Speaker 1: he got kicked out in like the second inning of
Speaker 1: the game. And he gets kicked out and then we
Speaker 1: hear this commotion and security is like freaking out because
Speaker 1: he got back in. I say security. It's like one
Speaker 1: guy who was eating a donut was the security at
Speaker 1: this place.
Speaker 3: He got back in because he took the jersey off.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, and he turned the hat inside out or something.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they'll never get They'll never catch me. Are
Speaker 1: you kidding me? They will never ever find this out.
Speaker 1: Next up on the mailbag, Jay Rod from Canzah City says, Hey,
Speaker 1: Big Ben and Danny, I wonder if Jay Rods had
Speaker 1: the Ben Mallard chicken fingers at the Landing in Liberty, Missouri,
Speaker 1: which is not far away from the Chief Stadium in
Speaker 1: the Royal Stadium. I'm not sure if he's had that
Speaker 1: or not.
Speaker 3: Not sure has he ever been food poisoned.
Speaker 1: That is not helpful. That is a bad job by you, Danny,
Speaker 1: And I want you to know my friend Bob Fesco,
Speaker 1: who hosts the morning show on six ten Sports, is
Speaker 1: one of my radio buddies. I go on the show
Speaker 1: every week. He had they're a sponsor of that local
Speaker 1: show in Kansas City, and he went out. They had
Speaker 1: a bunch of the guys from the station. They went
Speaker 1: to the landing and he was sending me food porn
Speaker 1: pictures of the Ben Mallard. Chicken fingers are amazing, and
Speaker 1: they're not really chicken fingers, see that's false advertised. Look
Speaker 1: like they're the size of like a bus. They're like
Speaker 1: each chicken figures the size of a Greyhound.
Speaker 3: Bus, like a huge chicken tender.
Speaker 1: No, this is this is a man. I'm gonna try
Speaker 1: to find a photo here. Hold, let me see you
Speaker 1: find it.
Speaker 3: Did did he say it was like juicy and I
Speaker 3: just don't like them when they fry him too much?
Speaker 1: No, no, this is this is great, this is perfect. Here.
Speaker 1: Let me send you the photo. This is the the
Speaker 1: ben hold On sick here.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah those are chicken tenders.
Speaker 1: Yeah those that's a full, big piece of chicken. You
Speaker 1: see the honey mustard sauce there in the photo. And
Speaker 1: the fries. Look at they give you a lot of fries.
Speaker 3: Yeah, those fries look well done.
Speaker 1: The fries, the fries look good. You can see the
Speaker 1: pepper on the chicken. So I I guess I'm on
Speaker 1: a fast right now, Danny, So I'm kind of hungry.
Speaker 1: I'm like, i'd like to have some of those right now.
Speaker 1: If I could teleport beat me up, jay Rod to
Speaker 1: your hometown there in Kansas City. He says, Oh, here's
Speaker 1: here's this perfect Dan. He says, I do door dash
Speaker 1: and uber eats while I'm out. I like to take
Speaker 1: pictures of cool stuff I see around the city. I
Speaker 1: got a new pre a few preview pics of the
Speaker 1: draft set up. So this is from the other day
Speaker 1: and the hotel across the street. Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: It's a nice little hobby. Jay Rod may I recommend, though,
Speaker 1: try to get yourself in a many some of the photos,
Speaker 1: you know, because you take photos of stuff. It's okay,
Speaker 1: but you want you you want you want to be
Speaker 1: part of the photo. Don't you want to be part
Speaker 1: of the photo a little bit some of them.
Speaker 3: No, I don't like ruining my pictures, dare you. No,
Speaker 3: I'm saying I don't want to be in my own
Speaker 3: photo because look, I look at my photo and I'm like, God,
Speaker 3: I look tired, geez, I look bloated, damn it, I
Speaker 3: need a tan. I mean, unless you get the right angle,
Speaker 3: you know, the girl angle, get the right angle overhand,
Speaker 3: and it's okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but here's the way I look at it. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like, what's that famous quote. I'm trying trying to
Speaker 1: remember the quote, but it was. It was something like,
Speaker 1: today is the oldest you've ever been, but the youngest
Speaker 1: you'll ever be again. Right, So it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: we're all getting older and we're not getting any younger
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So yeah, take a photo, you're like,
Speaker 1: cause I promise you ten years from now you'll be like, boy,
Speaker 1: I look pretty good compared to what I look like now. Right.
Speaker 3: It's kind of like saying, it's not gonna get any
Speaker 3: better than this, schmuck, take a picture of yourself.
Speaker 1: It's gonna get much worse. It's gonna be Dante's Inferno,
Speaker 1: so you might as well take a picture. But anyway,
Speaker 1: I did enjoy your photos, Jay Rodd. It's cool. I
Speaker 1: see the big hollaballoo there and all of the the
Speaker 1: stanchions and the stage and all that this they've got
Speaker 1: set up there. They had set up for the the
Speaker 1: draft and so but again, put yourself in there to
Speaker 1: bring back memories and all that.
Speaker 3: If you'd like to take the best picture of your
Speaker 3: entire life, have Eddie Garcia take some photos.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that is uh obtuose Eddie. We call him.
Speaker 3: Just completely oblivious to how people look in photos.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, isn't that just a common courtesy of society,
Speaker 1: Danny that if you're gonna take someone's photo, you give
Speaker 1: them final edit on whether or not you post the
Speaker 1: photo of them before you jump into the fray of
Speaker 1: social media.
Speaker 3: I don't care, I'm leaving goodbye. You put their best
Speaker 3: foot forward for them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, otherwise you are a maggot if you do that right,
Speaker 1: you can't. I mean, I don't want to be too
Speaker 1: dramatic here, but.
Speaker 3: He one time took a picture of you where your
Speaker 3: entire head was glowing.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, now I realize I have a hair issue,
Speaker 1: but it's fine. But there are some angles, as Danny
Speaker 1: has pointed out, where it doesn't look quite as bad,
Speaker 1: it doesn't look as terrible, and an adult in the
Speaker 1: room would say, well, maybe I should retake that photo.
Speaker 1: Eddie just takes a look at it, and he just,
Speaker 1: without even thinking, publishes it to the Internet and it's
Speaker 1: there forever. You never take it down. Ever.
Speaker 3: That should be one of your nicknames. Malard's cranium.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got a big head, I do. Pete the
Speaker 1: Machinist writes in on the mail Bag. He says, when
Speaker 1: you go out. Guys, when you go out with your wives,
Speaker 1: do you pick the restaurant? Does she pick it? Do
Speaker 1: you both do the nothing sounds good maneuver, he says. Also,
Speaker 1: when you set up a meeting, are you typically early
Speaker 1: to the agreed time or are you arriving right at
Speaker 1: the last minute or late? Okay, so these are some
Speaker 1: good questions. This is from Pete the Machinist, a Beaver believer. Okay,
Speaker 1: go beevs. So to answer the first part, we eat
Speaker 1: out usually once a week, unless we're on a road trip.
Speaker 1: At me and the wife. We like cooking. My wife
Speaker 1: does some of the cooking. I do some of the cooking,
Speaker 1: so we don't mind doing that. We feel like we
Speaker 1: can save money and we get stuff that we like,
Speaker 1: and so that's kind of what we do. But the
Speaker 1: one time we eat out my wife, we have we've
Speaker 1: we've been with each other long enough, we have certain
Speaker 1: restaurants that are kind of our go to our go
Speaker 1: to restaurants, if you will, and so we normally kind
Speaker 1: of go to those our comfort zone, and every once
Speaker 1: in a while we'll mix in a new restaurant, but
Speaker 1: very rarely, Danny, will it be added to the list.
Speaker 1: It's very rare that we try a new place and
Speaker 1: it's an added to rotation.
Speaker 3: Hardly ever makes the final cut.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have a five restaurant rotation. We have our
Speaker 1: favorite Italian plays, our favorite sandwich shop, our favorite deli,
Speaker 1: favorite Mexican restaurant, we have our favorite Mediterranean restaurant, and
Speaker 1: we have our favorite burger. Six we have a burger place.
Speaker 1: So it's like six places that we go to and
Speaker 1: that's about it. I think my wife would agree. We
Speaker 1: have like a six restaurant rotation and then every once
Speaker 1: in a while will change it up and try something new,
Speaker 1: and then we usually hate it. As far as the
Speaker 1: meaning thing, I am on time out. I try to
Speaker 1: get there on time, try to.
Speaker 3: Get there, Okay, Andy Reid.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm it's like Lombardy right, it's like that
Speaker 1: old quote about Lombardio or who is the Tom Coughlin, Right,
Speaker 1: it's you talk about habits and then trying to do
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But like remember if you're if you're
Speaker 1: not there five minutes early, you're late. Remember that. Like
Speaker 1: I was together five minutes early. I think of Lombardi
Speaker 1: was like fifteen minutes early. That was like Lombardi time
Speaker 1: when he coached the packers.
Speaker 3: The that's ridiculous. Then just make make your call time
Speaker 3: for the meeting fifteen minutes sooner.
Speaker 1: Then, now that's it's funny you bring that up on
Speaker 1: a zoom meeting. I get there at the very last minute.
Speaker 1: But it's an in person meeting, then I try to
Speaker 1: get there early. And depends how important the meeting. It
Speaker 1: depends if it's like a job.
Speaker 3: Or Yeah, they always say for the interview, be there
Speaker 3: fifteen minutes before it. If your boss calls you to
Speaker 3: his office, be there ten minutes prior to the meeting time.
Speaker 1: And if it's the DMV, show up ten minutes late
Speaker 1: because you'll be waiting anyway, you'll be stuck in mud.
Speaker 1: So it's like yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: If it's the dentist or a doctor's office, flip them
Speaker 3: the bird. They try to reschedule you if you're late.
Speaker 3: But then again it's okay if they make you wait
Speaker 3: for a half hour.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you have an appointment, which fascinates me. You
Speaker 1: have an appointment, well you'll have to wait. The doctor's busy.
Speaker 1: Right now, how about we pump the brakes on that
Speaker 1: I've got an appointment my time is the most valuable
Speaker 1: thing that I have. Ow dare you? A guy named
Speaker 1: Amish writes in from the six one four he says,
Speaker 1: what are the top three European countries that your wife
Speaker 1: wants to visit?
Speaker 3: Ben?
Speaker 1: Have you or Danny g ever been to Europe? And
Speaker 1: if not, what's the What are the three countries that
Speaker 1: is are on your bucket list? I was fortunate enough
Speaker 1: to travel to Europe as an undergrad present from my mom.
Speaker 1: How cool is that? Back in seven? Good job about
Speaker 1: your mom after graduating from the University of Cincinnati. So
Speaker 1: this guy's like bragging. These are like humble brags here
Speaker 1: from this guy Amish Danny, He's like, I graduated from
Speaker 1: the University of Cincinnati. My mom's a better mom than
Speaker 1: your mom. She hooked me up with the true But anyways,
Speaker 1: says his three favorite countries areas of Europe that he
Speaker 1: enjoyed London, England, France, and then he said Paris, and
Speaker 1: then he named a couple of other countries that I
Speaker 1: will not even try to pronounce because I will I
Speaker 1: will butcher them. So have you done Europe? I don't
Speaker 1: think you have. You have not been there?
Speaker 3: Oh no, I have not. I know that my wife
Speaker 3: he has talked about the fact that she wants to
Speaker 3: visit Greece. That would be cool. My mom studied French
Speaker 3: literature in school at one point spoke French fluently because
Speaker 3: of her. I would like to go to France and
Speaker 3: then Italy. Man that's where my grandparents came over here
Speaker 3: to Ellis Island from more specifically sicily the island beneath
Speaker 3: the boot.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: To answer the question, amised. My wife has been to Europe.
Speaker 1: She was like a teenager when she went, and I
Speaker 1: have not, and so I definitely want to start out.
Speaker 1: One of my friends just went to Europe not that
Speaker 1: long ago, and he said, it's not that expensive. You
Speaker 1: fly into London. The flights in the US to London
Speaker 1: are not that bad, so you make London the hub.
Speaker 1: So you got to start in London. He's explaining me
Speaker 1: the whole thing, give me the whole run day. So
Speaker 1: you fly to London, that's your base, and then from
Speaker 1: London you can get to any of those other countries
Speaker 1: pretty easily, and then you can get back to London
Speaker 1: because it's a hub. So that's you save money that way.
Speaker 1: So I definitely want to get to London, probably Paris,
Speaker 1: although it's not that high on my list. And then
Speaker 1: Italy because I was friendly with my wife's grandfather, Luigi,
Speaker 1: and he's from a town out in the boondocks in Italy,
Speaker 1: so I kind of like to see where he grew
Speaker 1: up because I you know, he was a good guy,
Speaker 1: good dude. He passed away a couple of years ago. Kapeche,
Speaker 1: he used to say all the time, So I'd like
Speaker 1: to see that. That would be kind of cool. And
Speaker 1: then not in not in Europe, but over which is
Speaker 1: kind of in the Middle East. There it is in
Speaker 1: the Middle East. I'd like to to get to Israel.
Speaker 1: I actually have a cousin that owns a restaurant. I
Speaker 1: think he still owns the restaurant there and some other
Speaker 1: you know, you know how you have family and places,
Speaker 1: but they're not You're not really close with him. It's
Speaker 1: that kind of thing like I have. But if I
Speaker 1: call him up, they'd be like, who the fuck is
Speaker 1: this guy? What does this guy want?
Speaker 3: I have cousins who own a wine bar in Sicily,
Speaker 3: and my uncle flew there last year, paid for a
Speaker 3: translator to come with him, and he spent a week
Speaker 3: in and out of the wine bar.
Speaker 1: Nice, it's cool, that's cool.
Speaker 3: We should all or move And.
Speaker 1: You might want to go right when the kid. I
Speaker 1: can't go right when the kid pops out.
Speaker 3: Got to wait six months for him to be able
Speaker 3: to travel.
Speaker 1: Really okay, but you've got that window where it's free,
Speaker 1: so you could conceive it. I would think it would
Speaker 1: be a pain in the ass, but you'd be saving
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars in airfare, Danny g So if you
Speaker 1: were to do that, that would be the time to
Speaker 1: do that. Otherwise you'll get.
Speaker 3: On your mom's lap. Shut up.
Speaker 1: Either that or you get grandma to watch you. Have
Speaker 1: you decided the names for the grandparents? That's always a
Speaker 1: big thing, have you?
Speaker 3: Oh no, not yet?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to have meetings. Who's gonna get to choose?
Speaker 1: Like is it one's grandma and then what's the other?
Speaker 1: What's the Italian word for grandma?
Speaker 3: People do nanny?
Speaker 1: Nanni? Isn't? Yeah? Okay, nanny? Yeah, there's like a few
Speaker 1: different ones, And isn't the rule? Like you have to
Speaker 1: everyone's got to have their own. So the kid associates
Speaker 1: them with that name, like one's bubby, one's grandma.
Speaker 3: Nana, oh me, yeah.
Speaker 1: These are things you need to work out. Then this
Speaker 1: is the are very important here, okay, because there's accountability
Speaker 1: because when the kid pops out, everyone's gonna want to
Speaker 1: spend time with the kid. And they're even though the
Speaker 1: kid will not remember anything from the first couple of years.
Speaker 1: You know, are the tide? All right, that's enough of
Speaker 1: the man. We gotta get out of here. We got
Speaker 1: things to do. It is Sunday back on the radio tonight.
Speaker 1: I will be there the Ben Malor Show, brand new
Speaker 1: week of programming. Looking forward to that. We'll take a
