He's the last remnants 0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:12.440 of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:15.480 treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:19.600 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House of 0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:23.400 Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour 0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:32.240 with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere 0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:37.960 and welcome to a special Sunday edition, eight days a week, 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:41.400 The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny g Radio 0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:46.360 Ready to dazzle you. We started out doing this. I 0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:49.480 originally did the podcast like one day a week, yeah, 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:52.800 and then over time we've gone to the three day 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:55.440 a week format. We used to do like one and 0:00:55.480 --> 0:01:00.160 it was really long, and now it's three and they're 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:02.200 all kind of long. You're all kind of long. So 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:06.199 when are we gonna go to four? Wash your mouth 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:11.160 out with hope and water? How there you? Oh? My god? 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:15.720 Who the hell cans nobody wants for? Does anyone nobody 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:17.840 wants for? I should have said, when are we gonna 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:21.640 cut this down to two? Yeah? Yeah, Well I always 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:23.399 threatened to cut it down to two. We don't get 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:25.680 enough questions for the mailbag. Some weeks we get a ton. 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.520 Normally we get enough for the mail bag. And this 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.480 is actually one of the more popular things that we have, 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:35.000 and people seem to love the randomness of the questions. 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:37.800 It's like a box of chocolates. You never know what 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.559 you're gonna get. You never know what you're gonna get 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.560 in the mailbag. So, without further ado, let's strike up 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:47.600 the band Ohio all start the mailbag. Are you ready? 0:01:47.640 --> 0:02:03.880 Here we go, It's bag and right to it.

Ben Mallers 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:36.600 show first question comes from Kevin and Rockford. He says, 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.560 if all the producers were to get in into a 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:45.680 producer's battle royale, who would come out victorious. This is 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:49.480 from Kevin So, the Fox Sports Radio producers, the fs 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:58.240 ARE lineup, which includes yourself, Bob Gara, Frostburg, Frostburg, who 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:01.839 does Jason show, Cooper Loo. I wish I could pull 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:05.440 off those suits. Boy, I think you do pretty well there, 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.360 did he? Do you know? Rob g Or We call 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:12.920 him wrong button Bob for our listeners. He probably would 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:15.720 be a sneaky good fighter because he said this on 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:17.840 our show one time that he would kick you in 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:23.000 the kneecap. Yes, yeah, yeah, I would put him like 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:26.239 ahead of Frostberg and Coop. Those are nice guys. I 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:29.680 don't see them as fighters. Then there's Jason Stewart, who's 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:33.799 got Leaves producer. Yeah, I know Jay, still haven't seen 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.960 him in a while. He's kind of a mid sized guy. 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:41.760 Cowherd's got who's he got to Yeah, he's got two 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.720 and then Um Music. Yeah, he's got Ryan Music and 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:49.280 two e These are like he's got like seven producers actually, 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:53.200 so yeah, Howard would win because of he gang up on. 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:58.760 You still feel strongly that if Cowherd's producers came at me, 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:02.000 I could do the Kasmanian devil move, but I would 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.840 try to take all of them out. Yeah, and then 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.720 I we have lead a lap who produces Jonas the show, 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:11.280 and I could see Lee pulling out bloody knuckles or 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:13.360 something like that. I could see that and I was like, yes, 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:15.160 you got the hat on, and all of a sudden, 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:19.000 where'd that come from? And he's got bloody knuckles. But 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:21.159 I I'm not sucking up to you, Danny. I think 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:25.720 from a physicality standpoint, in a Battle Royale still cave deathmatch, 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.279 I would put my money on you. You'd be the favorite. 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:35.599 I'd have Bob Garrett too, lead a LAP three and 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.080 uh yeah, I think that that would be my top three. 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:43.760 The microphone throttler. Yeah, all right, Chris, and that would 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.560 be a cool charity event though. That would that would 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:50.839 be fun. It's time from now. I'll call all right, 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.320 Chris and Mary Coca the IOWA says, have you ever 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:57.520 secretly called into a radio show of someone you know 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:01.240 to see if they recognize you? P ask go Raiders. 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:08.680 Chris says, I. I did call in one time to 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.240 show Tom Looney was on, but I didn't stay on 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:16.400 hold long enough to get on the hear so no, 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:19.200 I guess technically I tried, but I didn't have the 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.560 patience to stand. I was gonna see if Looney would 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:26.359 recognize my voice. But other than that, I'm trying to 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.200 think off the top of my head. I don't recall. 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.720 I don't recall doing that, but I have had people 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.520 like Punk me and call up that I knew that 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:36.920 he do the do a fake voice and all that. 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.520 What about you, Danny ever called up a radio show 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.240 just to see if somebody would recognize your voice? No, 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.239 I'm I mean, I think I would get caught right away. 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.440 I don't exactly have the kind of invisible voice where 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.400 I could get away with Crank calling people. They would 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.320 be like, I know it's you. I called your show 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.720 one time. It was my night off and you were 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:03.080 having a six line tribute to the great Rowdy Roddy Piper. Yes, 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:05.680 and I called in to be part of the sixth 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:08.920 line salute. I think that's it. As a grown adult, 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:12.040 I've only called the Ben Mallor show. Okay, I'm I'm 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:15.360 flattered by that. Yeah, and I remember saying a long 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:20.799 time producer, first time caller, I like it. I like it. 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:26.400 I got mail, Yeah, I got mail. YEA, all right, 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:29.240 Devin and Munsey says Ben, which would you rather have 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:32.839 David Gascott as your personal butler or the Dodgers lose 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:36.440 the World Series to the Yankees. Well, I don't want 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:38.520 the Dodgers to lose to the Yankees, but I would 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:40.800 not want Gascott either as a but I think you'd 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:42.359 be a terrible butler. He's got that West of the 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:45.120 four oh five attitude. So I don't think that would 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.720 that would work. That's like a Sophie's choice situation. So 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:50.600 what kind of question is that? How dare you? Man? 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.560 You get a clown horn? Is what you get? All right? 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:58.240 All right? Zack? And Seattle, says Ben. When you were 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:00.960 coming up in radio, what was your dream market to 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:06.400 work it, says says Zack. Well, I grew up in 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:08.200 southern California. Want to be on the radio in l A. 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.320 But I always wanted to be on in like Boston 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.120 and New York and the big cities. You want to 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:14.880 be on in the biggest cities you can be on, 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:20.280 and those are the biggest market Chicago. So you aspire 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.800 to be on the radio where the most people listen 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.960 to the radio, and those are the biggest, biggest cities. 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:28.840 So the cool thing, and I've told the story before, Zach. 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:31.440 But when I was coming up in radio, I started 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:34.760 in San Diego. In fact, you heard with Ralph Irvin, 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:36.880 who I worked with at the mighty six ninety back 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.800 in the day, and we were coming up together in radio, 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:43.560 and I sent out a bunch of cassette tapes because 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.920 it was so long ago, to these different radio stations 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:47.960 and I really wanted to get a job, and these 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:51.000 they had openings, and I'd send these tapes out and 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.400 I used to have I don't think I have it anymore, 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:57.720 but I had a box of rejection letters and and 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:00.760 these are many of the stations that over the years 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:04.960 my show has been picked up by. And it's pretty cool, 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.080 like to think back, like they wouldn't hire me, And 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.200 I don't understand why they didn't hire me. I wasn't 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.800 that good at that point. I didn't have any experience 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:17.000 or anything like that. But yeah, so, but the biggest Boston, 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:22.000 New York, Chicago, l A, the biggest Philadelphia is another 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:24.040 great the great sports time. Do you want to be 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.720 on where there's passion doing a sports radio? You want 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:32.520 to be on where it matters and those cities it matters. 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:34.440 What about you, Danny anywhere you wanted to be on 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.360 the radio, and you're starting out the business as a 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:39.640 little kid. I was doing hip hop radio, so I 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:45.199 wanted to be on San Francisco, LA, or New York airwaves. 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:48.320 Those were the three cities that you would shoot for. 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.680 And so in the late nineties that's still a kid 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:56.000 and be on l A radio. It was pretty amazing. Yeah, 0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.559 it was. It was cool. I I started when I 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.640 was young, and it was very fortunate the station I 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:05.800 worked at in San Diego. The company bought an l 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.320 A station and wanted to flip it to sports, and 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:10.480 so that worked out very well because they didn't have 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:15.800 any employees and they hired me, and they probably regretted it, 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.360 but it worked out. So I was I was lucky 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:21.400 on that one. You've got mail, the Russian kid writes, 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:23.840 and he says, as the mail back continues, if you 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:27.440 could choose one movie actor to be the president of 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:32.280 the United States, who would it be. So I'll go 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:35.000 with someone who I think has a legitimate opportunity of 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.680 being a Donald Trump like president, meaning has a chance 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:42.280 to win. The Rock I mean, Dwayne Johnson. I could 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:46.599 see The Rock being a president in my lifetime. Then congratulations. 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:51.079 Now just for comedic reason, I don't agree with this politics, 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:56.080 but Larry David would be funny as a president. How 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:59.840 about didn't Disney canceled Tim Allen put him in there? 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:02.360 They got rid of him, rid his buzz light Year, 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:05.679 they canceled him being a prequel. I don't think he 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:09.040 thought his voice was necessary all right, because I had 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:12.000 read a headline that Disney dumped him because of his 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:15.199 politics and all that stuff. That that's why they they 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.319 got rid of. Right. Even Tom Hanks was like, what 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:19.920 did they get rid of? What's up with that? Anyway? 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:22.800 Who would you pick? Danny? Any actor that you would pick? 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:25.760 Movie star, the Russian kid, the Russian kids dying to know, 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:30.440 do not do not get it wrong. Gary Busey would 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:35.880 be great. Uh. The Western White House would be a 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:40.320 rehab clinic in Malibu. I would feel comfortable if Morgan 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:44.080 Freeman was our real life president. He's got though, isn't 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.160 he God? You can't have? Was God? He was also 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.960 president in a movie though, okay, and I liked his leadership. 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:53.079 I felt like comfortable with him at the helm, so 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:56.559 he could he could take on that challenge. Yeah, will 0:10:56.600 --> 0:11:01.120 there ever be a president in our life time that 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:06.959 is universally loved. No, right, No, I don't think so, 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:10.320 although I did talk to somebody about this as I 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:11.959 was talking to a buddy of mine last week, and 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:17.880 we were like, after remember after nine eleven, like people 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:22.720 really rallied around the country and and President Bush was 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:26.000 the president. But it only lasted for like a couple 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:29.040 of months and then everyone was back at their each other. 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.120 That was a great scene when he was on the bullhorn, remember, 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.720 and yeah, it will all hear us, And yeah, you're right, 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:40.360 everybody was rallying around that moment. That probably will be 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.760 the last time in my life that people forget the 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:47.560 political bowl, you know. And just and he threw a 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:53.080 perfect pitch remember pitch out at Yankee Stadium, right yeah, yeah, 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:57.600 bullet proof vest On and and he's still threw a strike. Yeah, 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:00.719 good job by him, old Texas Ray Users owner back 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:04.199 in the day. All right, let's see here, I got mail, Yeah, 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:09.120 I got mail, Yeah, Mike from Fullerton, right city the 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:11.640 mail bag, He says, have you ever considered turning the 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:16.439 Fifth Hour into a true crime podcast? I hear those 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:20.240 are big right now, there's gotta be a murder out there. 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:25.800 That you guys want to want to see solved. He's 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.880 not wrong, though, Mike's not wrong, right. These these podcasts, 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:32.280 these crime podcasts, are very popular these days. They just 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:36.199 are capitalizing off of all of our girlfriends and wives 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:40.680 who like to watch this crap on TV I D 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:44.319 Channel or the true crime shows and all that stuff. 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:48.920 I mean, they have complete networks dedicated to this programming. 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.400 And then these women go to sleep scared out of 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:56.040 their minds and having bad dreams. Well, don't watch that 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.480 crap at night right before you go to bed. Yeah, 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:03.080 But it's one of those things with human nature I 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:06.480 talk about like I don't do list radio, as you know, Danny, 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:08.600 because I don't believe in it. But I do do 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:12.160 Big Bend's Big Board, which is not list radio wrong. 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.240 But human beings are what when people hear a list 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.959 they kind of they react to it, but also people 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:21.559 are it's just a flaw in human nature. They gravitate 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.959 towards a mystery like who done it? Right? Who done it? 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:27.079 And they want to get to the bottom of it. 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:31.520 Remember that show Forensic Files that that was like the 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:34.760 pot that was on TV, but it was that thing 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:36.839 and they had the guy I forget the name of 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:38.680 the guy, the name of the voiceover guy that was 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:42.200 on there, and he had very dramatic delivery, you know, 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:46.840 and she went for a dog and she never returned. 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:52.560 Our parents used to watch this on remember Oh sure, yeah, 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:56.600 used to have that kind of programming before they were 0:13:56.679 --> 0:14:01.560 complete networks dedicated to that. Thank god. My tendernie doesn't 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:05.600 like those kind of shows because I have known girls 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:09.040 that that's all they watch at night, like every night, 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.160 they'll watch those kind of shows. And I feel like 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:14.880 I'm in safe hands or safer hands because a lot 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:17.000 of the programming on those shows they like are the 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:21.400 ones where the women are killing the men. I feel 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:25.480 like they're just trying to get some ideas how to 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:29.000 you know, get away with certain things and vice versa 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.800 if it's a guy killing a woman. But it's just 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.800 odd to me that you would be that invested in 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:39.440 finding out how people kill each other. Yeah, for sure. 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:45.840 What's the The old saying about a woman's weapon is uh, 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:49.600 what is it I'm telling poison? Oh no, no, it 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:54.560 was something like that, though, Yeah, I don't I'll see 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:56.120 if I can, it'll come to me. But there was 0:14:56.120 --> 0:15:00.160 a phrase about uh, yeah, like something about women men 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:03.240 and how you know their their weapon of choices like 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:08.920 arsenic or something like this is something like that anyway, Um, 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.600 well the great idea, Mike, Either that or we can 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.880 get Martha Stewart to you know, do the podcast with us, 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:18.360 right she's isn't she doing something? Without I heart? I 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:22.320 just found it. Poison is a woman's weapon. Yes, that's it. 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:29.400 That's it. A woman's weapon. Well that's comforting. Yeah, you 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:32.280 know you see that stuff. When women kill men, it's 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:36.640 usually they make him brownies and they put bleaching there 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:41.200 or something there are you know, whatever it might, whatever 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:48.120 it might do the trick. Kevin in Kansas writes in mail. 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:50.920 He says, dear Ben and Danny g what's the status 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:53.760 of the laundry card? He's asked me the status of 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:57.400 the laundry cart you found on one of your walks 0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:00.240 a couple of years ago. I'm not sure why I 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.480 continue to think about it. I think it's the uniqueness 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:04.880 of the story that sticks with me. Thanks for the 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:07.920 up Well, yes, Kevin, for those that are new to 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:13.160 the podcast. In my old place in the San Gabriel 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:18.080 Valley where I was living, I would walk around the neighborhood, 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:20.760 especially during COVID, this really came up. I used to 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:23.000 go to the gym and then COVID started and the 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:26.040 gym's was closed, and so I'd walk around it was 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.200 like a hundred and ten degrees and then walk around. 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:31.320 And one day I was wandering around the neighborhood and 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:34.760 there was this abandoned laundry cart, like a professional laundry 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.120 cart that you would get at a laundry matt, that 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:38.800 somebody had just left on the side of the road. 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:41.360 And I was like, well, that's a really good looking 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:43.920 laundry card. That would be great, and it was in 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.720 good condition. I'm like, well, who dumped this? And it 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:48.920 was like with other trash, and it was trash around it, 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:50.840 but it was in good shape. So I walked by it, 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:53.440 and in the back of my head, I said, all right, 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:55.800 I'm gonna go on my walk. I'm not gonna think 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:57.880 about it. But then when I get home, if it's 0:16:57.880 --> 0:16:59.680 I'm gonna get in my car and it's still there, 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:05.280 I'm gonna go get it because I want that. So 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:08.199 I did my walk, I got I got back and 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:10.520 then sure enough the thing was still there. So I 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:14.159 went out and it barely fit in the mallarmobile. I 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.480 put in the back, took it home and then use it. 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:20.240 But it update you, Kevin. The laundry cart was in 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:27.040 storage for oh Man over a year and we just 0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:29.399 had it. We didn't need it, and now we have it. 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.520 We did bring it back to the the new Mallard 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:35.320 mansion in the north Woods. The problem is it's not 0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:42.680 really effective because it's a two story home here, and 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:46.119 the laundry cart's got wheels. It doesn't go. It's downstairs. 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:50.800 The closes are upstairs, so I might have to say goodbye. 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:52.919 If you want a laundry cart, Daity, I have a 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:56.359 really good laundry card if you want, If any listener wants, 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:57.960 if you pay for shipping, I can give it to 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.760 you and you can have my old laundry cart, which 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:04.320 is a great cart, works very well, but really not 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:07.639 useful where I live now, I'm the same as you 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:11.000 dealing with stairs. What we need are those old school 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:14.760 laundry shoots. Oh that's true, that's a good. Yeah, the 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:18.359 laundry shoot. Yeah, trash shoots are good too. I love 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:23.000 the trash shoot. Wonderful thing. It's like magic. You walk out. 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:25.320 I used to have an apartment. I lived in Park 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:28.600 LaBrea in in l A. That massive if you're familiar 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:33.040 with the geography, they're massive complex. It's one of the 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:38.560 biggest conglomerates of apartments in the entire country. Uh. And 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:40.920 I lived there for a while. They these old buildings 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:43.000 and they had trash shoots and was wonderful. Trash starts 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:47.160 smelling boom, go out the hall and steps, throw it away. 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:49.920 It's gone from Wow, you brought back some memories. I've 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:51.919 only lived in a building one time that had a 0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:55.120 trash shoot, and you're right, man, it was like magic. 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:58.800 Just walk out your door, pull the shoot down, throw 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:01.840 your trash in there. You were done. Oh yeah, it 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:06.560 was It was good. I got mail, Yeah, I got mail. Yea, 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:12.960 all right, Gary, and Victoria writes in uh, he says, 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:17.399 Joey Chestnut looked ready for something crazy happening at that 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:21.560 eating contest. Gary says, do you guys think he got 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:25.760 wind of the curse of the Bambino from a producer? 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:30.280 Or did you warn him? Gary? Gary says, no, I 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:36.280 did not warn the great Joey Chestnut. And Joey's always prepared. 0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:39.840 He's always on his toes. The man is a professional, 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:43.320 all right, And I'm not gonna sit here and pander 0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:45.600 to Joey Chestnut say there's a curse and all that. 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:48.000 But we were just we're bonding and all that. And 0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:51.720 I love the fact that he's in full defense motor 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:56.159 at all times on his tiptoes and that's that was great, 0:19:56.560 --> 0:19:59.000 So good job by him. Yeah, I'll be prepared. It 0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:01.720 might be land minds are You never know. Occasionally in 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:04.680 life it's an acrobatic high wire act and you gotta 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:07.960 occasionally thread a needle. In all. As much as he 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:11.240 talked about loving New York and there's only one place 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:13.520 like it in the world, your head needs to be 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:16.959 on a swivel because that is the super Bowl of 0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:21.080 all hot dog eating. With the Super Bowl comes crazy, 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:26.120 big crowds. Yeah, at least nobody glued themselves to Joey 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:29.200 Or remember that woman in Minnesota at the Timberwolves game. 0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:33.200 She's put some superglue and clue herself to the court, 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:35.560 like yeah, and then there was another one who chained 0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:40.520 herself to the the basket. Yeah. It's pretty hard to 0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:43.679 protest if you have a job, isn't it, right? I 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:46.520 mean sorry, because you gotta know your job. It's difficult. 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:49.800 A more effective protest would have been have somebody dress 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:53.160 up as a giant hot dog and then chain yourself 0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:57.960 to the dog. That's good point. They did have a 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:02.600 Nathan's hot Dog mascot walking U. There was that, um 0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:06.160 but but thank you for that. Gary In Victoria Patrick 0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:11.920 writes and he says, who's your favorite Canadian pro sports athlete? 0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:18.080 Is this all time or currently playing? He didn't say, Well, 0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:20.239 all time, it's got to be number ninety nine, right, 0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:23.720 the great Wayne Gretz, the greatest of all time at 0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:28.439 what he did in hockey.

Oh that guy, Bay That Stairs ruined my 0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:35.639 one one of my nights that against just I still, 0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:38.879 I still, I can still see have I closed my eyes, 0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:42.080 I can see that ball flying into the pavilion at 0:22:42.119 --> 0:22:44.960 Dodger Stadium.

Well, 0:24:00.600 --> 0:24:03.240 of course I do, Dale, because Kyrie will not be 0:24:03.320 --> 0:24:06.000 playing even if they trade for him. Kyrie will be 0:24:06.040 --> 0:24:11.200 off on some mission I'm doing whatever he's going down 0:24:11.480 --> 0:24:14.320
