WEBVTT - "Tank Through a Pause" Mail Bag 0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:05.480 Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a 0:00:05.480 --> 0:00:09.280 week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of 0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.920 the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats 0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:15.800 crackheads in the ghetto Cutter the same as the rich 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:19.880 pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House of hot 0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:23.599 takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:32.040 Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere. It 0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:36.280 is a Sunday, fun day and you have decided to 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:38.320 spend some time with us, and we do appreciate it. 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:43.520 On a championship Sunday in the NFL. Depending on when 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:47.960 you download this podcast, things have already been decided. Maybe 0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.960 they haven't been decided. Who knows if you're listening earlier 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:54.360 the day. But we are back at it again here 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:58.480 Ben Maller and Danny g on the fifth Hour, and 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:00.800 we thank you for downloading the park Us. I did see, 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:02.960 by the way, Danny, this is a mailback podcast. But 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:07.120 we were begging people to go to the Apple podcast 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:10.520 page and to give us a review, and we got 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:14.440 one person, one person to give us the review. So 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:18.560 I didn't want to thank the craigster w who gave 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:23.119 us a five star review, Danny five star review, which 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:27.320 is tremendously kind, and we we do appreciate that. So 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:31.240 thank you for all of that begging and we got 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.560 one guy. We didn't beg too much. It was like 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:38.440 a ten second portion of the podcast last weekend. But 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.520 I will say this, maybe we should start thinking about 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.720 pulling a Clay Travis. He used to give away out 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:49.040 kick merchandise to those people that would give five star reviews. 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:52.559 That's a good idea. That's a good idea. Bribe the people. 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.480 How you gotta do it with podcasting reminds me and 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.720 I was doing the college radio thing. We had to 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:02.680 tell of phones to try to raise money to keep 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:06.680 the station going. And you know, we may it seem 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:08.840 like the phones were ringing. The phones weren't always ringing. 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.679 Sometimes the phones were dead, and you're like, oh no, 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:14.720 there's a lot of people calling. You gotta make it 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.799 seem like there's a lot of people calling sometimes the man, 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:22.600 that's right, it's all radio audio magic, all audio magic. 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:28.600 We got Burrow and my Homes and then your boy Stafford. Yeah, 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:33.240 and Jimmy g that is the matchup and let's go. 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:39.160 This is the last day until September, they'll be meaningful, 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:43.040 multiple meaningful football. Nobody really cares about the exhibition season, 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:47.000 so um until September when the season kicks off again 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:51.520 in So wait, what about the Pro Bowl at Allegiance Stadium? 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:53.000 Are you going to the Pro Bowl? Danny? Are you're 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:56.440 in Vegas? Are you gonna stick around? You just here 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:59.679 for that baseball tournament, A little bit of food and 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.080 little bit of sports gambling, and then boom back to 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.240 southern California and you gotta high tail it out of there, right, 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:08.040 got you? All right? Well, we have to have the 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:09.800 official open of the mill back. You know how we 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.120 do things, and we don't do it properly, then we 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:22.600 have problems. So here we go. We big thanks to 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.800 our buddy Ohio al who knows and what a genius 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.520 Ohio Alice. He knew we'd play that song every week 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.399 on the show, and we have on the fifth hour. 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.960 It's amazing how that works. We love it it. It's 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:39.119 the proper way to begin the festivities here. So let's 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:42.680 see what do we have. Yes, we do, Sweet Potato 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:47.400 Bob in Cincinnati, right city, says Big Ben and Danny. 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.240 G If you scored a big time interview with a 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:55.640 dictator in another country who might possibly kill you at 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:59.720 the end allah the movie the interview? Who would you take? 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:05.800 Is a loyal sidekick, David Gascon or Danny g? Also, 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:10.520 would your theme song be Firework by Katie Perry? That's 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:14.920 from Sweet Potato Bob. Let's see here what I take? 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.039 Giscon or Danny G. I mean, I don't know. Danny. 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:20.120 You're like, yeah, you're like a tough guy, right. Guesscon 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.239 is like a fake tough guy. I don't know the Giscon. 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.880 He comes across as a tough guy, but I don't know. 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:27.800 If you got into a fight, I don't know. I 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.760 think I could trust you more in a fight against 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.440 the dictator, so i'd take you. But if I just 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:37.400 sacrifice someone, I'd go with Giscon. You know, if Gascon was, 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.800 I don't know, say in China with you, would he 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.359 stand in front of you if somebody shot a bullet 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:48.000 towards you? Oh god no, no, he would point. He'd say, 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.760 the bull's eyes over there right there on the fat 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:54.480 guy Mallard, make sure you hit the fact. I Guesscon 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:57.520 when we were doing the podcast together, hand the god here, 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:00.360 so he got he was trying to get a better, 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.360 like a TV job, and he got offered a job 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:03.760 in like West Virginia. I told him to go to 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.360 Western I said, go to West Virginia, you know, and 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.039 it's just a d go there for a few months, 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.120 a year or whatever. You'll get a better job. After that, 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:13.520 he got offered a job for a company that was 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:17.279 like based in China, to do American news in China. 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:20.520 And I should go to China. Think how cheap everything is. 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:25.720 He didn't listen. He never listens. Never listen to help 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.960 him out. He never lists. How dare him name on him? 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:32.880 But anyway, that's a good question from sweet Potato. Bob 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.599 Glenn in Chicago writes, and he says, hey, Ben and Danny, 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:39.880 g what's the deal with Dan Patrick and his van 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.480 that is a Mercedes? Does he plan on living in 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.600 one when he retires or is he shipping his dad 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:50.120 ads on a never ending road trip. That's a great question. 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:53.960 That's that commercial from the Dan Patrick Show has gotten 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:57.600 more play. It is pretty funny, Like Dan is a 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:00.640 big TV star. He makes an s low the money's 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:05.400 very wealthy, very successful, and he's promoting a sleeper van. 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.000 It's very odd to me. I agree, I agree to. 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:11.640 It's that you don't expect Dan Patrick, the TV star 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:14.920 of your childhood on ESPN, and you know he's got 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:17.600 a simulcast on radio and TV doing that that show 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:21.120 They Deals. You don't expect him to be pitching an RV, 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.159 you know, a form of an RV. But good for 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:29.400 him in your long successful radio career. Have you done 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:34.919 live remotes from a car lot any? Yes, yes, I've done. 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:38.359 I did remote from a Jiffy lube. I did remote 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:42.400 from a car dealership. Um A lows a lot of 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:47.080 sports bars, a lot of restaurants. The craziest probably was 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.559 the Jiffy Loube. Why we did one from a donut shop, 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:54.039 a Winchell's donut Shop, which big chain out west here, 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:59.039 and they claimed it was the largest donut shop west 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:03.919 of the Mississippi. And we we got locked out of 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:05.760 the place. They weren't open when we got there, so 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:10.320 we drove around the radio station. Had they had made 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.880 this van and maybe it looked like a like an ambulance. 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:17.480 They called it the Emergency Sports Ambulance and they had 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:19.800 lights on it and the whole thing was so cheesy, 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:23.600 but we we drove around the promotional van. You weren't 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:25.720 allowed to actually turn the lights on because it's not 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.920 an official emergency vehicle. But you guys are like the 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:31.920 sports Busters. We may or may not have turned the 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.160 lights on just for us and giggles to see what happened. 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:36.120 I'm not saying we did. I'm not saying we didn't. 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:40.239 Plus Danny the statue of limitations, as has long passed 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:44.440 on that FM radio station work comes with a lot 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:48.920 of Saturdays or Sundays at or holidays at a car 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:55.080 dealership doing alive remote And for most DJs, you moan 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:57.800 and grown when you see that coming up on the calendar, 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:02.360 because it's hard to draw listeners to the car dealership 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:04.760 because they know as soon as they walk onto the 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:09.120 lot they're gonna get pounced on by salespeople. Sure. I 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:13.880 remember one summer in Ventura, California, I decided, okay, you 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.160 know what, so that I could get some listeners here 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.800 the way I'll give my concert tickets away today. I 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.440 set up a marker and like a starting line where 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:26.160 the listeners stood at. I had the salespeople take turns 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:29.440 standing at the marker. I filled up a big thing 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:32.880 of water balloons, and I had the listeners tried to 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:39.560 hit the sales guys. Yeah, if we were able to 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:44.079 hit a salesperson, you got concert tickets. So that kind 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:47.679 of became our long running bit there in Southern California. 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:51.400 That part of Southern California was to abuse the sales 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:55.840 people on the lot. That's great, A like it. Yeah, 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:59.120 that was about the only way listeners would show up. Yeah, 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:01.400 I do remember that. I was like, because you know, 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.160 the sales department would always promise a ton of listeners, 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:07.840 we're gonna show up. The reality is that's bullshit. Uh, 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:11.360 you know, usually depending on the time it is and 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:12.920 all that. I have a great So I don't have 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.560 time to tell it now. Somebody wants to email at 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:19.120 a future show about how I caused an automobile accident 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:22.319 at a remote I was doing years ago. Well, I 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:24.480 don't get into that right now. Who else do we 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.920 have on the email? Let's see here, page Dan, page, Dan, 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:31.560 can't I can't see that. Let's see what do we 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:36.360 have here? Alright? Come back, it's time we're doing that. 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:40.240 Pierre and Springfield mass and he is the man the 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:42.360 mythel legend Alfie and you know Pineary. He says, just 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:44.800 for the record, I will wear it is a badge 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.800 of honor that I was called a jackass on over 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:51.880 four hundred affiliates for stoking the mailbag fire of the 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:55.480 Mallard Militia. He also says, for the record, the previous 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.560 week you asked for new blood, which may have scared 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:02.040 off some of the regulars. That's probably true. Finally, my 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:06.080 question for both of you is would be this, what 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.080 is on the menu in your respective homes for the 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:13.720 championship games a k. The Final four? As Ben would say, Well, Danny, 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:18.280 you're in Vegas, so that's off the table. And uh, 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:20.680 you know, I might be at the game today. We'll see. 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:24.120 You'll see how that goes here, depending on traffic and 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:28.120 logistics and all that. And if that's the case, Uh, Pierre, 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:31.400 I will I will make sure to pause my fast 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:37.840 to partake in a bunch of free free media food. 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:42.120 And the Rams I have noticed better food than the Chargers. 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.040 They both are in the same stadium. It is the 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:49.600 same company that does the concessions, but the Rams take 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:53.560 care of their people better than the Charges. Whatever. That's 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.760 so I've gone to so far. They are in need 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:59.840 of some good food trucks out in front of the stadium. 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:03.880 Lacking a little bit there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.599 sure it'll get better as the years go on, hopefully. 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:10.040 And then Ben, one question for you. I after the 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:13.240 baseball tournament, I'm gonna have time to see the Rams 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:17.439 game in Vegas. So should I do the sports book thing? 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:20.640 Like we talked about on yesterday's podcast. Is there you know, 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.880 like good food adjacent to a good sports book. Yeah? 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:27.319 I used to love the Aria sports Book. Uh, but 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:28.840 I haven't been to Vegas in a couple of years, 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.560 so I already had a great sports book. Caesar's did, 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:34.280 but I think they cut their's back. Caesar's Palace, I 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:36.800 don't think it's a big as it used to be. 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:39.360 But I was a big fan of the r They 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.800 had big, cushy seats and it was it was really cool. 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:44.040 But there's a lot of really cool sports books depending 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:47.280 on what part of the trip you go to and 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:50.280 and all that. So now, would you like to borrow 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:52.839 a couple of thousand dollars from me? And I can 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:55.839 put that on Matt Stafford for you right now? Well, 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:57.160 you know, I don't want to. I don't want to 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:01.240 jinx anyone. As you know, Danny, it's not my style 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:07.120 to be that guy. I would do. The sports fan 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:11.480 insurance is what I would do, where you know, you 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:14.880 bet the other way, you bet on the Niners and 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.199 you hope you'll lose, and it's only you know who cares. 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:19.559 You lose a few bucks, but you're happy because your 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:23.120 team won, and then it covers you. If your team loses, 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:25.560 then you win a little bit of money, so you're like, Okay, 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:26.960 at least I want to be a little bit of money. 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.439 So it's not all it's not all bad. Sports fan 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:31.280 insurance is the way to go. Yeah, that's not a 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:38.880 bad idea. Alright, moving on, here we go. Yes, let's 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:42.840 go to Ozzy Momentum. The legendary Ozzi Momentum says Hi, 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.520 Ben and Danny. So I am very lucky to have 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.360 a lovely wife and young daughter. Who knew that Ozzy 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:51.840 Momentum had a wife and a young daughter. You learned 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.240 something new every day, he says. The only thing with 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:58.040 this is that my wife likes very nice and expensive things. 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.439 It seems like my daughter has picked up this trade. Well, 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.719 of course I learned it's in the d N a uh, 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.840 he says for me. Ozzy Mominham says, it's to the 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:11.200 point of, you know, the point of spending the money 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:13.880 more than having the supply of money. That's the issue. 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:16.000 So I guess he's got the money, but he's just 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:19.080 like spending the money. What creative ways, if any, have 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:22.200 you come up with to curb the spending traits of 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:27.079 the significant women in your lives without enacting World War three? 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:32.440 I need help though. The spending habits of my girls 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.640 have helped me to justify the huge costs to call 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:39.040 your show from Australia, he says, Yeah, it's not free 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:43.640 to call international, which I guess is somewhat of a consolation. Well, Ozzy, momentum, 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:48.360 God speed to you. Uh. The My advice on this 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.480 is probably the worst advice you'll ever get, is to 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:54.280 just just block it out, just put blinders up, living 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:57.040 a vacuum, and just try not to think about it. 0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:01.000 Um and and the good thing is good or bad. 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:05.200 At some point, we're all gonna visit the pearly gates, right, 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.840 that's it, lights and then all our financial issues go away, right, 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:12.800 we hit the reset. But so everything's temporary, right, everything 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:14.360 as long as you have food on your plate and 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.040 a roof over your head, you let them. Let them 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.920 enjoy life, because it'll be gone before you know. That's 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:24.520 my advice. What about you to a certain point, we 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.640 work hard so that we could, you know, live life 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.640 and enjoy it. On the other hand, if you're trying 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:32.400 to save a little bit of money, and we talked 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.800 about this back in the day on Tenderoni Tips a 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:39.040 couple of different times, I would say, put a goal 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:43.800 out there, whether it's a cruise flight to the Bahamas 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:48.280 or Hawaii, disney World or something like that. If you say, 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:52.080 all right, in six months, we're gonna go here to 0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:55.640 this destination and you have something to focus in on, 0:14:56.160 --> 0:15:00.160 then that's when a family doesn't mind tightening their belt. Okay, 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.400 we don't need a lot of the extras. We can 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:05.880 get by on the basics and still enjoy life and 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:08.800 save money at the same time. Just try to have 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.520 some goals out there with you and your family so 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.240 that you can save some money here and there. Yeah, 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:17.440 that's that's a good idea for sure, for sure, and 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:21.480 try to encourage all right, you're gonna spend money, but 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:23.680 let's try to save a little extra every month, like 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:25.720 put it away and and you know, do this, but 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:27.320 just the same thing pretty much, you said, but just 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:32.440 have have a little bit of an emergency fund, a 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:34.880 rainy day fund, if you will, that kind of thing. 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:37.960 But that is a tough one. Next one is from 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:43.160 Marty in Ashland, Oregon. He writes, and he says, Hey, Ben, 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:47.320 this Angry Bill guy is quite the character who dubbed 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:51.200 him that moniker? Was it you or someone else? Curious 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:54.440 minds would like to know. That's from Marty, Well, Marty 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:57.880 in beautiful Ashland, Oregon. The answer to the Angry Bill 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:02.600 conundrum was Bill started calling me many years ago, and 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:06.240 it was around the time the way he got the nickname. 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:10.160 As I remember it, there was this great debate about 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:15.040 putting nets up at baseball stadiums because for a hundred 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:17.560 years they were able to play baseball without nets, and 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:20.600 people would get hit and it wasn't that big a deal, 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:22.400 but people were getting hit and they were going to 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:24.920 the hospital. Some people died as a result of this, 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:28.960 and so they decided baseball out of an abundance they 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:30.920 say of caution, but really out of an abundance of 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:35.720 lawyers giving them advice saying what are you doing in 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.800 my slab? Yeah? What are you doing there? And so 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:42.800 they decided to put netting up, and I was anti netting. 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:44.880 I'm still anti nitting and still bothers me when I 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.200 go to a ballpark and I I see the netting 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:50.280 up and it just annoys me. But Bill called up 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:55.640 from Jacksonville before he was angry Bill Marty and started 0:16:55.720 --> 0:17:01.160 screaming at me, what about a nine year old? And 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:04.600 that was that was his claim to fame and he did, 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:08.640 he were and he was complete lunatic, right, a complete lunatic. 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:11.160 I was there for that, and I put that famous 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:14.600 drop into the system. What about a nine year old girl? 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:17.679 That is one of the better drops over the years. 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:20.480 And a lot of it is because of the question 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.439 you just read. People don't know and what context it 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:27.440 was said or why that came about. But you're right, 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:31.480 like adults sometimes have their phones stuck to their face 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:35.119 out of game and they could get hit by a baseball. 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.520 We don't really care about that because they deserve it. 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:41.320 But when it's a kid getting hit by a ball, well, 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:43.600 the reason they put the netting up, though, is really 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:47.800 because of the the lawsuit thing. They were the Dodgers there 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:49.760 was an older woman they got hit and I think 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:53.600 she passed away at a die after it became a big, 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:57.040 a big to do Terry in England rights in one 0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:59.560 of our international listeners also he says, what is the 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:03.600 story with Eddie's nicknames? Why did you suddenly stop using them? 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:06.560 Was it a management decision that's from Terry names. No, 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:09.920 there's no management decision. I think management even listens to 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:12.480 the show. If they listen to the show, Terry, I 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:14.919 would have been off the air within five years if 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:18.000 they actually listened to the show. But part of the 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:20.280 issue here, and as you know, Danny, because you produced 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:23.760 the show this week, because the show is popular and 0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:27.359 we're doing better and we were, it's it's really the 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:31.119 problem is the success of the show. Before I didn't 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:34.800 do fifty live reads during the show. Now every two minutes, 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.199 I've got a commercial I've got to read. And as 0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:40.160 much as we love that and we do, it does 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:44.080 eat into the time. And so we decided, other than 0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:47.280 just wasting all of our time reading Eddie's nicknames and 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:50.600 my nicknames, we cut back on that to where it's 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:53.440 rare and appropriate. We don't do it all the time, 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:56.680 but that's you know. That's because we actually have advertisers, 0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:59.000 and we know for a while we didn't, but we do, 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:02.520 and so we like Ben. I think management listens a 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:05.399 lot more than you're aware of, because when they called 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:08.040 me last week to fill in for Coup, they told me, 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:10.479 all right, have a fun show with Ben and Bobo 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:16.080 and Eddie and Karen Kay probably he kk uh yeah, 0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:19.120 back in the back in the old days. Oh my god. Man. 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.560 All right, but thank thank you for that. Terry listener 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:28.400 Steve from North Augusta, South Carolina. Right, so he says, hey, Ben, 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:31.960 I heard you and Danny g discussing my proposal last 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:36.920 Sunday about the Master's Golf tournament and tickets. He says, 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:41.000 I will have two Master Golf badges. They are four 0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:46.080 day passes, so the whole, the whole, kitten gabboodle for 0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:49.200 the tournament this year, which is April seven, eighth, ninth, 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:52.240 and ten. You can go to any of those days. 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:57.000 He says. Uh. The invitation stands. If you win a 0:19:57.160 --> 0:20:01.040 regular from your show, Coop, Eddie, Roberto, Danny and your 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:03.760 wife would like to come to this year's tournament, you 0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:07.480 are very welcome, and he's giving us a place to stay. 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:11.080 Danny says, we have two upstairs bedrooms that are empty. 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:14.800 Each bedroom has its own bathroom, and he says he 0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:18.720 just wants to make sure everyone is us vaccinating. He says, 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:22.200 but you are invited, so uh. He does point out 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:24.520 that I have a trip plan to the Outer Banks, 0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:27.600 which I think is actually in May. He says, March here. 0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:29.920 I think it's in May. It's either May or March. 0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:34.280 I don't know. Uh So any you a master's guy, 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:37.280 you're I mean that's I follow the majors. That's about it. 0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:40.360 With golf. I don't really pay attention to the trash 0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:42.800 can open or whatever it is. I pay attention to 0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:45.560 the big tournaments, and there's four big tournaments here and 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:48.280 the Masters. I've watched the Masters since I was a 0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:52.960 little boy. I've never been why that would be fun 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:56.440 to go? But I don't know. That's a tough. Since 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:59.439 I'm taking time off in May to go to the wedding, 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:00.879 I don't think I can get away with it in 0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:04.199 April two. What about you, Danny? Any can consideration on that? 0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:07.320 I think it would be dope because it's a bucket 0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:10.840 list item. Yeah it is. I've been to one PGA 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:14.920 tournament before, and it was in San Diego. John rom 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:18.239 was the winner. I can only imagine the atmosphere out 0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:21.760 of masters. Yeah, you can get the food. They haven't 0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:24.440 raised the prices on the fun I'm worried about the food. 0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:27.120 They will raised the prices, right, I'm like a cheese 0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:30.560 sandwich and some other random things that they've served forever 0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:33.359 and ever and ever. Well, Steve, I will run it 0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:39.200 by the Fellas coop, Eddie and Roberto, and I'll tell 0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:41.320 you what Eddie. I don't know if Eddie's a golf guy, 0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:42.879 but Eddie is the kind of I mean Eddie I 0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:45.960 think would be the most likely to do it. Yeah, well, 0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:47.720 thank you, Steve. I'll be in touch. And he this 0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:50.560 he does say in in the city he's in there, 0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:53.480 North Augusta, South Carolina, that a lot of the big 0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:57.000 time golfers will rent out houses in that part when 0:21:57.000 --> 0:21:59.000 they when they're planning in the tournament, they'll stay in 0:21:59.119 --> 0:22:04.000 his neighborhood. So oh yeah, Airbnb gets super popular anywhere 0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:06.200 there's a tournament. You know, I do need to get 0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:08.560 to South Carolina though, my you know, I gotta be 0:22:08.560 --> 0:22:11.000 a good uncle. I don't know my niece probably doesn't 0:22:11.040 --> 0:22:14.320 want me to visit her. She's in college over in Charleston. 0:22:14.720 --> 0:22:17.960 She probably doesn't want Uncle Benny to come stopping by. 0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:22.120 But I haven't seen her in a while. That'd be cool. Hang, 0:22:22.359 --> 0:22:26.000 Apparently she loves Charleston. She thinks it's the greatest place 0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:29.119 in the world. But all time eighties movie Uncle Buck, 0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:32.560 Oh the Great Uncle Yeah, Benny pulling up in the 0:22:32.600 --> 0:22:38.720 car that backfires, John candy Man, all right, Cubby fan Mike, write, 0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:40.960 since this for both of you, what are two things 0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:44.520 you hate about living in California? You can leave any 0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:46.359 if you leave anywhere else where, would it be? I 0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:50.639 hate the price of gas. I hate the taxes. I 0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:54.000 hate the a lot of the politics I don't agree 0:22:54.000 --> 0:22:58.360 with in California. Uh, the It just there's there's more 0:22:58.359 --> 0:23:01.320
