He's the last remnants 0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.560 of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:15.600 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:19.520 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow, it's a clearinghouse 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:23.280 of hot takes. Break free for something special. The Fifth 0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:33.240 Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere. 0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:37.840 We fix it up by Popular Man, the very popular 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:42.760 listener driven Sunday edition of The Fifth Hour. Happy tenth 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:46.479 day of December. It is week fourteen of the NFL. 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:50.159 We had that little appetizer, which wasn't much of an appetizer. 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:52.880 The game wasn't actually that bad, the Patriots and the Steelers. 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:55.440 But now we can all pipe down because we got 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:59.840 full action all day long today into the night. And 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:03.280 and I I Danny, unlike most, I mean going to 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:06.320 a lot of NFL games this year, you know, hanging out, media, 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:08.960 free loading and all that. But that poppycock ends today, 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.880 at least for now, as I am in recovery mode 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:15.240 and I'm right now riding a vapor trail. Danny, it's 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:18.160 not trying to make it through this edition of The 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:21.920 Fifth Hour with you and me, and we had. 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:24.680 To get for drinking all that Kirkland brand alcohol last 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:25.520 night at your party. 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:27.720 Do what you gotta do, Danny, Yeah, you gotta drown 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:30.720 the sorrows away. But here we are here, we are 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:33.240 back at it again with it. We got the mail bag. 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:36.560 And since we were supposed to get to this earlier 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:38.600 on the weekend and whatever, we don't get too early 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:40.920 in the weekend. We just jump right into it. So 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:43.320 I'm not gonna do small talk and dilly dally and 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:46.000 all that stuff. We're just getting right into it. And 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:49.680 that means pop goes the culture. We're gonna go a 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:51.360 few of these stories because there's some good ones. And 0:01:51.720 --> 0:02:09.760 our guy ohio Aal strike up the band Tojohnjohn, Well, 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:11.560 I've never been to Venice. You ever been to Venice, 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.880 like the real Venice, not Venice in La I've been 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.160 to that Venice. I'm talking like the real, authentic Venice 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:19.200 where they have those Gonda gondola boats, you know those things. 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:23.400 Yes, I've only been on a gondola in Las Vegas. 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:25.880 Yeah, I've not been on those in Vegas, but I 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.240 have seen those Invegas. So anyway, the real, the real 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:34.639 McCoy in Venice, one of them capsized filled with taurus. 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:37.040 Now why did it capsize? Danny want to take a guess. 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:40.359 A shark bit the bottom of the boat. 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.639 Completely reasonable, Completely reasonable. A lot of shark attacks in 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:49.600 Venice or or the out of towners refused to sit 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:54.200 down when instructed by the gondola captain and would not 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:59.160 stop taking selfies, and they reached a tipping point where 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:01.639 they fell into the Now I've heard the water. I've 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:03.480 never been there, but I've heard the water and I've 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.960 seen stories. The water is not the cleanest water. It's 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:10.280 pretty filthy. Flint Michigan comes to mind. You know, I'm 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:16.800 just not particularly particularly great there. And uh yeah. So 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.800 then the problem is if you're taking all the selfish 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:21.880 I assume if you fall into the water, you then 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.760 have to get a new phone, which is a thousand 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:26.320 bucks to get a new phone. By the time you 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.360 get through everything right and all the charges and all 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:33.080 that stuff. Okay, whatever whatever works for you. 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.080 Would you rather fall in that water or the Hudson? 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:41.240 Oh man, that's I'd have to read more about the 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.920 water and invests the water on the Hudson is disgusting. 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:48.560 It's just but not the ugliest water. The ugliest water 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:52.480 I've ever seen is in Lake Superior in northern Minnesota, 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.360 because that water is it's brown. 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:01.360 But that's just because of the dirt, right, well, it's. 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.480 Not the dirt is some other term for it. 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.280 I forget, but yeah, I remember you talking about this. 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:08.840 The sediment of the water. It's the way it's supposed 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.240 to be. It's like a coffee color, but it looks 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.560 like shit and it's like shitty water, like you know, 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:16.880 you had diarrhea, and the whole lake it's like the 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.640 biggest great lake and it looks like it's just diarrhea 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:26.200 water in the lake. Diarrhea exactly exactly. And somebody, can 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.800 you convince Eddie Garcia that Ben Bishop did have the 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.359 runs in that Stanley Cup final? He does not believe me. 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.560 Oh boy, he definitely had diarrhea exactly. 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:38.839 That's what I'm saying. How about shut up? We have 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:42.000 other oddities in pop Goo's the culture. Well here's here's 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:45.040 a story. It warms your heart so a woman. I 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:46.880 don't know if this came up on Covino and Rich 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:48.560 this week, maybe it did, maybe he didn't. So this 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:54.960 woman assaulted a fast food worker at Chipotlet, right she 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:58.200 she kind of roughed up this employee and so she 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:01.920 got her sentence. And this happened in Ohio. You want 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:05.960 to take a guess what the punishment was for the 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:10.839 person that roughed up the employee at the Chipotle. 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:15.280 The judge made her chop up chicken at Chipotle for 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:16.360 twelve months. 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:22.200 Well, you're actually not far off. The woman who could 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:26.920 not keep her hands to herself and assaulted the Chipotle 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:31.680 worker has been sentenced. Her time is to work a 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:36.520 fast food job for two months. What I mean, that's 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:40.560 too much. He's thirty nine, thirty nine years old. 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:42.960 Does she get to choose the fast food place? 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:48.200 That's a good question. I'm reading the story here and 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:54.119 in Parma, Ohio, which I'm probably mispronouncing. But at first 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.200 she was going to go. She had to pay a 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.360 fine and serve one hundred and eighty days in jail 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.760 with ninety days suspend. But then the judge had another idea. 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:04.279 He said, you didn't get your burrito bowl the way 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.360 you like it, and this is how you respond. The 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:12.960 judge said, this is not real housewives of Parma. This 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:18.320 behavior is not acceptable, and so the judge said, he said, listen, 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.640 you can cut off sixty days in jail if you 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.760 agree to work at least twenty hours per week at 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:28.360 a fast food restaurant for two months. The woman accepted, 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.240 Oh took, She took. 0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:33.279 But if I was a judge, I'd be like, but 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:35.440 it has to be at the hot dog on a 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:40.200 stick inside our mall. Yeah, she yi put on that uniform. 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:45.880 Man. She told The Washington Post that she was stepping 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:49.360 in to protect a seventeen year old employee who was 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:54.320 getting yelled at by this woman. This Emily Russell told 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:59.360 the court she was traumatized. The food was hot and 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:05.880 burned her face. She said, go fund me campaign in 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:10.320 your face. I have a couple of questions, Danny, does 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.760 this woman get paid while she's working or is this 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:16.880 unpaid employment? And would you eat at a fast food 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:20.440 restaurant this woman was making your food at because I 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:23.640 would think that she might not. She knows it's only 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:24.760 a two month job. 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:28.440 On a court order. Though maybe she's being careful on. 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:30.400 Her best behavior. I'd have a camera on her at 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:32.560 all times, though, because she might slip something else in 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:36.080 there she might slip a Mickey in in your tostata 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.200 and you don't need that. What else do we have 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:42.040 on Popco's The Culture Let's see here all Nick Cannon? 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.680 This kind of relates to this past week going to 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.280 Disney on a random night. Nick Cannon took a bunch 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:52.120 of shit online this week. He revealed he has so 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:57.480 many kids that in order to go to Disney with 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:02.000 his twelve kids, it cost him two hundred thousand dollars 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.840 a year just to take the kids to Disney. 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:08.880 Oh sah, dad goals. 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:12.880 Two hundred thousand. Doesn't he get a deal because he's 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.560 a celebrity. I thought Disney looks the other way for celebrities. 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:17.360 I thought they'd give you the VIP treatment. 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:20.520 Yeh, Disney doesn't do a lot of the VIP stuff. 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:23.440 They don't do the media stuff anymore either. They used 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.600 to let media members like us go into the park 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:29.640 once or twice a year with our families. They stopped 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:32.800 doing that like a decade ago. Yeah. 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:36.280 Well, and when Disney started, like Walt Disney, wasn't the 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:40.000 whole idea affordable family fund? Wasn't that the whole concept 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:40.600 of Disney? 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:42.199 That was his mantra. 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.880 Yeah, yeah, and what happens, you know, it's like any 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.800 I remember in school, I had a professor, not that 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:51.640 I paid very much attention in school, but he was 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:57.240 explaining to me how like things start out perfect and 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:03.120 then over time it slowly gets worse and worse and worse. 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:07.560 It's kind of like America started. Now. I love America, 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.559 very patriotic, wrap myself in the flag. But America started 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.720 with because there were too many laws and too much 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:20.880 tax in Europe. Right, that's basically the origin story of 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:24.120 how America started. So they just came and they said, well, 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:26.720 let's just take you know, Native Americans land, and they 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:32.840 did and they formed Formed America. So that started where 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.600 they didn't want a lot of taxation, they didn't want 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:37.960 a lot of rules and regulations. So fast forward a 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.560 couple hundred years. How are things looking now, Danny? How 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:41.800 are how are things. 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.640 Those same forefathers they'd be looking for a new piece 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:50.319 of land right now, it's. 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:53.480 Just it's outseading and it's just people. You know, slowly, 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.280 it's the boiling frog. You don't even notice. You start 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:59.120 adding more and more stuff and before you know it, 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:00.960 like you know, Disney it's like, well, we'll raise the 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:05.000 prices a little bit. Then some of the original Disney 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:07.240 people went away, and then so then they went they 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.280 hired new people, and the new people want to make 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:11.560 their you know, they want to make the stock market happy, 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:13.800 so they have to raise prices, and they have to 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:17.319 you know, cut the cost of paying the employees. And 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:19.160 it's just a shit show. 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.720 Just recently, you and I did that inflation calculator. Remember, 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:25.120 oh yes, right, yeah, that's a fun bit. Yeah. The 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:29.080 cost walking into Disneyland should be eleven dollars and fifty 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:30.280 cents per person. 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:33.839 Yeah, and it's one hundred and fifty to two hundred 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:34.720 dollars or something like that. 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:38.800 Oh, two hundred and twenty five dollars to fifty on 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.880 certain days, it's ridiculous. 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:44.440 Two fifty to wait in line for an hour. 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:48.280 Yeah. Now, it depends on if you have one day 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:51.600 or the park copper two days. All that plays into it. 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.720 But the bottom line is you are paying hundreds and 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:58.520 hundreds of dollars when it should be ten dollars. 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:04.040 Yeah, yeah, exactly. But what are you complained? 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.720 I mean, yeah, you're gonna pay it because if you 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:08.800 want to experience the park, then you got to part 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:10.040 ways with that money. 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:14.400 Yeah, for sure, for sure, New Jersey Police. The only 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:16.520 reason I'm bringing this up is because the name of 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:22.000 the pig they chased down, a pig named Albert Einswine 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:28.080 is the name of the pig that was rather random. 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.920 Are you familiar with the actor named Emily Hirsh Are 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:36.000 you familiar with that person? And you know, yeah, she 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:40.160 made some big, big productions there in Hollywood. She claims 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.800 this is actually kind of funny. She claims that Quentin 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:50.040 Tarantino offered offered him. I say, bad job by me. 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:54.000 He was in that movie where he wandered around the country. Yeah, 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:55.000 see that one. 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:59.440 I did not, but he So Quentin Tarantino offered this 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:05.480 guy a Hollywood role on Facebook. The guy hersh thought 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:07.520 he was being catfished. He thought it was a prank, 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:15.000 so he didn't didn't respond. So let's get to the mailbag. 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:16.920 What do you say, Dan, is it time for the mailbag? 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:18.760 Yes, it's. 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:35.200 This mail bag. Thank you, ohio al. These are actual 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:38.560 letters sent in by actual listeners to the show. The 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:42.520 first one says, uh, hey Ben and Danny G or 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:46.000 Daddy G. This is Vahid. I believe I'm not saying 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.680 that right. He's a cab driver. He's sent messages before 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:50.040 now in a while, though he's been away for a 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:53.920 long time. A cab driver from New Orleans, he says, 0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:59.920 longtime listener, legend, since the legend was alive. Genie and Medford, 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:04.080 he says, and he then misspelled Genie's name, But I 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:07.720 knew what you meant. You spelled Medford, right, So that's important, 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.720 he says. I am still an active listener. But that 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:13.280 must be interesting to drive a cab around New Orleans 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:15.760 with all the drunks that are there, and the famous 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:19.320 people that come through New Orleans, the mixing of the 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:21.720 rich and the poor, the you know, it's just it's 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.439 gotta be wild. This guy must have some amazing stories 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.680 being a cab driver in New Orleans and also having 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.600 to compete with the uber and all that. Right, that 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:35.079 that world changed a ton a ton anyway, says question 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:39.360 for you, my friend's favorite comedian, and he's got toss 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:43.360 up question from hid the cab driver, he says, Jeff 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:50.640 Dunham or Gabrielle Iglesias, that fluffy guy. Yeah, so this 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:54.320 is this is kind of tall. I'm not I'm not 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:57.480 a huge Dunham fan. He's okay. I kind of I'm 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.840 leaning towards the fat guy. Is that a bad take 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:04.480 or the proper comedic tape? Yeah, he's pretty he's pretty good. 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:08.080 I've seen some of his stuff. Most of the comedians 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.199 I like are kind of like dead at this point, 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:13.439 but there's some some good guys still around. But of 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:18.920 those two, I would go with Fluffy and what about you, Danny. 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:21.600 I would go with Steven Wright. 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:26.640 I would go with Ed Well, George Carlin. 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:33.080 Richard spill Burr, Dave Chappelle. 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:35.840 Sure, who's the who's that other guy? Of the comedian 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:39.600 he got canceled though he was an actor, very funny, 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.960 stand up comedian, did a lot of TV shows. Remember 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:52.200 he was he was massaging the sausage of all the 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.520 clues where you got that boom right or white right 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:58.520 there mentioned sausage. You're good to go. My right hand 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:02.760 was getting a workout. That's outstanding. That made me smile. 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:07.560 That's great, all right, Craigster writes in Distress. Seattle fan 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:10.560 Seahawks Fanny says, Ben, I've been listening to you since 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:13.720 that time you filled into filled in for JT. The 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.480 Brick when he was doing the Overnight Show. I suffered 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:20.640 from CRS can't remember shit syndrome, so I don't remember 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:24.600 when that was. Please enlighten me. That could have been 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:27.200 at any point. JT worked at the network for a lot. 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:30.240 She I was filling in for people. Before JT did 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:33.240 the Overnight show, we had who do we have? Originally 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:35.280 we had a couple of different overnight hosts. We had 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:39.760 Silio Dan Silio who was an overnight host at one point, 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.120 and there was a guy that went on. He was 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:47.440 a former forty nine er player, Ryan Tim Ryan, I 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:49.760 think did the Overnight show briefly or a night show. 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:51.960 And then. 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:56.480 What's the guy he's he's like an ESPN sideline reporter. 0:15:56.600 --> 0:16:00.560 Now I forget his name. It's trying to think, but 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:02.320 he did the Overnight that. There's a bunch of people. 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:07.280 But it's a long time, probably been well since this 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:10.320 iteration of the Overnight Show. I'm hitting. I think I'm 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:12.720 in my tenth or eleventh year now, so it was 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:18.640 before that probably I don't know, maybe fifteen years ago, 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:19.440 probably longer. 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:23.800 Praikster, So yeah, I was going to say probably about 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:27.640 twenty years ago. I remember my older brother. He was 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:34.000 doing graveyard in northern California for Jelly Belly, and not 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:37.440 only would he get to bring home awesome samples and 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:40.960 stuff that the company would give him, but he would 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.680 always tell me what JT the Brick was talking about, 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:47.200 because as he drove in to his graveyard shift, he 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.920 would listen to JT. And then at the factory where 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:54.080 they made these jelly bellies, they would have JT on 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:55.200 on the speakers. 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:59.480 How about home off, Yeah, yeah, for sure, Jem he's 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:02.640 still doing. He does the local stuff in Vegas. He's 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:06.560 got the overnight, the overnight stuff and h or not overnight. 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.320 He does like serious x M. He's got some of 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:10.320 that stuff going on. 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:12.920 At the beginning of the Raiders season, I saw him 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:15.600 on a panel kissing McDaniels. 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:18.720 Oh I heard about. Somebody sent me an email that. 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.800 Even right up until the day McDaniels was fired, JT 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:25.600 was advocating for Josh McDaniels, but just to I mean, 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:27.360 he works for the team, so it's you know, it's 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:29.080 this is one of the problems, right, I mean, you 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:31.439 work for the team, it becomes a problem. You become 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:34.600 a shill for the team. It's it's an issue. That's 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:36.480 one of the problem. When I people this is really funny. 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:38.359 But when I did Dodger Talk, and this is a 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.480 long time ago before social media. I mean, it's a 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:44.439 long time and people think of me as Dodger honk, 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:47.280 that I'm just a Dodger. I've got my knee pads 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:49.280 with the Dodger logo on it. But when I did 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:51.719 Dodger Talk and the team didn't play well, and in 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:54.320 that time when I did it, this is an era. 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:57.040 They had all these high priced players. Kevin Brown was 0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:00.520 on that team, Gary Sheffield. They had all they spent 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:03.560 a lot of money, and the team's team was like middling. 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:07.199 They were middling team. They were underachieving. And I was 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:09.879 not the most compassionate person because. 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:13.679 Dodgers fans faxed in their complaints to the radio station 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:14.840 pretty much. 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:20.000 Oh hell, Bill Miller, and so I took some flak 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:23.040 because I was like, well, it seems underachieving and they're 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:24.119 not playing well. 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:26.879 And then I remember hearing you being a dick on 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:30.679 AM five seventy. Yeah, after certain games were over, I 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:31.560 thought it was funny. 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:34.879 Yeah, they the Dodger people did not find the humor 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:37.200 in it. For some reason. I don't know why. Maybe 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:39.879 they lost their funny bone. Oh as George Sadana is 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:41.520 who I how don't I can forget Sadanna? 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:45.600 Oh okay, yeah shoo. I believe he's on one of 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:47.800 the other stations in southern California. 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:49.879 Now, I don't know, are there any other stations in 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:50.880 southern California. 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.520 I yeah, he's a couple, but they're not as listened 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:57.000 to as AM five seventy the blowtorch. 0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:59.520 Right, the mighty AM five seventy. What is next year? 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:01.920 On the mailbag? We have Mike in Fullerton. He says, 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:05.399 happy Honikah, Ben and Dangey, Well, thank you, I appreciate that. 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:08.760 When is this? We started Honkkah on Thursday, so we 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:13.120 went through Friday, Saturday. Today, today is the fourth night 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:15.320 of the Festival. 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:19.480 Of Lights, the fourth night of Honic. Time to hear 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:23.160 the clip of Smokey Robinson saying what's chanooka? 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:34.080 Yes? Happy? That was outstanding? Yes, that was that was 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:40.120 a ten ten out of ten U Ben, Yeah, anyway, 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:42.720 Mike says, I didn't really get an answer last time. 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:45.000 Is Benny versus the penny going to the standard of 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:49.240 the playoffs or is it a regular season only show. Well, 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:52.280 you'll be happy to know, Mike that NBC has picked 0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:56.440 up Benny Versus the Penny all the way through the 0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:59.119 Super Bowl, all the way through the Super Bowl. I 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:02.480 think there's one all off week, which is obvious because 0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:04.200 there's a there's a bo there's a week where there's 0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:06.160 no football, so we're obviously not doing a show that week. 0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:09.280 You're not going to pick the flag football game? 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:13.680 Yeah, yeah, we're the the Pro Bowl games were don't 0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:16.240 avoid that. But but other than that, we will have 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:20.680 Wildcard Benny Versus the Penny, Divisional Round Benny Versus the Penny, Championship, 0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:24.520 Sunday Benny Versus the Penny, and then Super Bowl edition. 0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:27.720 Any versus super Bowl where you will you wear a 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:29.480 bow tie for the Super Bowl Edition? 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:32.280 Well, as you know I have. It's like like the military. 0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:35.560 When you do a TV show, a syndicated TV show 0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:38.879 on regional sports cable television, you have to have a uniform. 0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:41.080 You have to have it. So I have my my 0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:44.680 wardrobe picked out by the people over at NBC and 0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:46.600 I've won the same thing every week, so there will 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:48.639 be no bow tie. But if I do win, I 0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:50.199 would like to wear a crown. I would like to 0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:55.280 wear a crown on the on the final episode. He says, Also, 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:56.960 do you have any nuggets you can share about this 0:20:57.000 --> 0:20:59.680 week's episode? Well, that's on the Friday show, Mike, that's 0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:02.679 on the show. You can hear that. I get a 0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:07.159 couple of good lines on the show. And if I 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:12.000 haven't watched yet, still on today, few viewings on Sunday 0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:14.520 the Big Ones in New York in Manhattan on s 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:18.800 n Y the Mets Channel, but a good time. I 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:21.800 don't I don't think I've slipped a ferdog mentioned in there. 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:23.280 Maybe I'll have to get that in there one of 0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:27.440 these weeks. I know Marcel and Brooklyn's demanding a a. 0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:30.520 Reference because he's good. These guys need to get in line. 0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:31.840 I'm still waiting for mine. 0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:34.760 I know, I know, I gotta I gotta work you 0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:37.840 into the mix as well. But the Raiders Vikings game 0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:39.960 was not a featured game this weekend of the show. 0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:43.600 It was not we need the Raiders to be featured 0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:48.679 to really slide Danny g in to the show. Anyways, 0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:51.359 says I wanted to know who the guy was who 0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:55.080 spent a whole podcast just advertising the show. I doubt 0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:57.280 you've heard of him. His name is Bill Miller. A 0:21:57.320 --> 0:22:00.520 real piece of work. Bill, Yeah, Bill Miller, terrible person, 0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:04.600 horrible host, god awful Alf from the ideas Department. Now, 0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:08.920 Alf has been providing me with tips on cookie making 0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:11.160 because Alf's cool. He's a young, hip guy and he's 0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:14.199 on TikTok and so he's been helped me out. And 0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:16.199 I actually tried a couple of these hacks when I 0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:19.720 made my new cookie creation this weekend. We'll have more 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:21.720 on that next week.
