Speaker 1: Kubbooms.
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 soul 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 clearing House of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air away the fifth Hour. You already do
Speaker 1: that with me, Ben Hu and Danny Danny g right
Speaker 1: there as we keep your company all week in long
Speaker 1: eight days a week, Double duty, double duty. Today this Sunday,
Speaker 1: the twenty fifth day of the month of February, which
Speaker 1: means that not only do you get this podcast, but
Speaker 1: then tonight, depending on where you are on the West Coast,
Speaker 1: Sunday night, I will begin the new week of programming
Speaker 1: at Fox Sports Radio at eleven o'clock. But for people
Speaker 1: on the East Coast, where most people live, that'll be
Speaker 1: two am early on Monday morning. Early on Monday morning,
Speaker 1: So well we are we're doing double duty today, but
Speaker 1: celebrating National Chocolate Covered Nut Day, which is always an
Speaker 1: important day, so I always I love chocolate covered almonds nuts.
Speaker 1: It's also quiet day. I guess we're not celebrating quiet Day,
Speaker 1: Danny today. We're not doing that, unfortunately.
Speaker 3: But here we are.
Speaker 1: We have much to get to.
Speaker 4: So six month old was just screaming in the background
Speaker 4: a minute ago. So he's definitely not partaking in that.
Speaker 1: Is he cursing? Is he called any more words since
Speaker 1: we last spoke, Danny, you know nothing?
Speaker 3: Just dad dat.
Speaker 1: You should write. You should write a children's book. Baby's
Speaker 1: first F word? You know? That would be That would
Speaker 1: be funny, that would be good.
Speaker 3: It'll be titled says.
Speaker 1: A little call was seven months old when he blurted
Speaker 1: out fuck and we all laughed and lived happily ever
Speaker 1: after and all that stuff. So before we get to
Speaker 1: the mailbag, do I did want to go to something
Speaker 1: we haven't done in a long time. We've had no
Speaker 1: reason to do it. Uh, And that would be the
Speaker 1: back scratcher. And so we go to the Apple podcast
Speaker 1: page where you can write a review for this podcast
Speaker 1: and help us out. Twizzle writes, in and enjoyed the
Speaker 1: podcast we did about the dogs going to the dogs.
Speaker 1: He says, this show going to the dogs, and that
Speaker 1: is a great thingerferf. The show about your new fur
Speaker 1: babies was spectacular. I love when you guys let us
Speaker 1: in and don't worry. They say short lives for bulldogs,
Speaker 1: but our first two English bulldogs both lived thirteen years.
Speaker 1: Well that's that's wonderful. I love the English bulldog. Now
Speaker 1: the wife thinks that we can't have them forever, because
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, we'll just have English bulldogs the rest
Speaker 1: of my life, because when we get old, like I'm
Speaker 1: I'm kind of getting old. I'm not old yet, but
Speaker 1: when I really get old and I can't really lift stuff.
Speaker 1: These things are so heavy, these bulldogs that we'll have
Speaker 1: to get like go back to a Belli sized dog,
Speaker 1: one of those lap dogs and just go with that.
Speaker 1: But I think I'll be all right for a while.
Speaker 1: I think I think I can pick Moxie up. I'm
Speaker 1: not that weak, not yet. You know, I got some
Speaker 1: time before I have to worry about that.
Speaker 4: Either that or you'll have to have hospice doggie care.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what was it we mentioned this? I think
Speaker 1: Ioa Sam told me that Jimmy Carter, President Jick Carter
Speaker 1: went into hospice and then went out of hospice, Like,
Speaker 1: how many times does that happen? Usually when you go
Speaker 1: into hospice, it's a one way street, right, you don't
Speaker 1: usually get out of there. That's it. It's lights out. Yeah, rely, Samley,
Speaker 1: take a deep breath. Stay.
Speaker 4: I didn't think anybody rebounded from that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a that was pretty crazy. I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: that's that's not so all right. Time now to open
Speaker 1: up the bill bag and you know what that means.
Speaker 1: It's bound all right jah. Thank you to ohiou our
Speaker 1: buddy who has been a part of this podcast for
Speaker 1: a while. He's the musical guy without compensation, without compensation. Uh.
Speaker 1: These are actual letters from actual listeners to the show.
Speaker 1: They have either posted these on social media platforms, sent
Speaker 1: them via direct message, or the most popular way that
Speaker 1: we get these messages is via the email Real fifth
Speaker 1: Hour at gmail dot com, but also the Facebook page.
Speaker 1: There's some people that post on Facebook. So the first
Speaker 1: email comes from Dan, who is in Miami. Dan says
Speaker 1: bandon Danny, I love the show, but I think you
Speaker 1: guys should change the name of it. It's called the
Speaker 1: fifth Hour podcast. But you have not done a podcast
Speaker 1: that has been an actual hour in many many months.
Speaker 1: What gives well, Dan, that is I believe when's the
Speaker 1: last time we did an hour? Probably an interview or something, Right,
Speaker 1: it's been a while since we did an hour podcast.
Speaker 3: It's been a while.
Speaker 4: But originally you were only supposed to be doing one podcast.
Speaker 4: So the fact that we do three, technically it's well
Speaker 4: over an hour.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Danny, boy, you Schmuck'm sorry, I'll be played.
Speaker 1: Send an email. So here's the way it works, Dan,
Speaker 1: in the podcast game, we have the data follow the
Speaker 1: science is no, the analytics. We follow the analytics.
Speaker 3: I'm not a numbers guy, but that doesn't seem to
Speaker 3: add up.
Speaker 1: We follow the analytics, Danny. And it has been determined
Speaker 1: by those in the podcast game that the sweet spot
Speaker 1: for a podcast is around thirty minutes, that anything over
Speaker 1: thirty minutes is a waste of everyone's time. Now, what
Speaker 1: about Joe Rogan dance? Probably so Joe Rogan does five
Speaker 1: hour podcasts. Okay, I get it. He also, how much
Speaker 1: does Joe Rogan make from Spotify? Do you know how
Speaker 1: much he's making there over at Spotify?
Speaker 3: Danny? It's a five seventy eight million dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now, if we got five hundred and seventy eight million.
Speaker 1: I think Danny, you'd agree if we shared that money,
Speaker 1: we would do four hour podcast every other day, right,
Speaker 1: we do four our five.
Speaker 3: Hover of course.
Speaker 4: Yeah I made that number up, by the way, but
Speaker 4: it's something gross like that.
Speaker 1: So Dan, if you want to be the sugar Daddy,
Speaker 1: we will give you more pod. But the sweet spot
Speaker 1: for a podcast is about thirty minutes, because that's how
Speaker 1: long a lot of people listen to podcasts. When they
Speaker 1: go for a walk, they'll walk the dog so the
Speaker 1: dogs can shit, or they'll go to the gym and
Speaker 1: they'll be on the treadmill for thirty minutes, and that's
Speaker 1: when people consume podcasts.
Speaker 4: Or they'll commute for thirty minutes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Most people have a commute about thirty minutes,
Speaker 1: or maybe they'll listen to a couple of podcasts. But
Speaker 1: thirty minutes is the sweet spot. So that is why
Speaker 1: most of the podcasts are about thirty minutes. But it
Speaker 1: is if you listen to a terrestrial radio show with
Speaker 1: all the commercials and all that, yeah, you're getting, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe only a little more than thirty minutes of content,
Speaker 1: but in like forty two minutes of content or something
Speaker 1: like that. I think, yeah, something like that. Next up
Speaker 1: we stay in Florida, but we go up from Miami
Speaker 1: to Weis. We're big in Florida. Joe in Vero Beach Rights,
Speaker 1: says Ben and Danny says Ben. I enjoy the Overnight show.
Speaker 1: I miss Danny on the show. Would like to meet you. Ben.
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty four, Well, that's very nice of you,
Speaker 1: Joe that you want to meet me, he says, do
Speaker 1: you have a schedule of Malor meet and greets? Also
Speaker 1: Big Lou from the LBC had a similar question. He says,
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, will there be any meet and
Speaker 1: greets at sporting events? For example, you did the Malor
Speaker 1: meet and greet at the Inland Empire sixty six ers
Speaker 1: game back in the day where the first pitches happened. Yah,
Speaker 1: we've done a couple of those first pitch things. I
Speaker 1: haven't done those in years. Would love to do it.
Speaker 1: We'd love to do it, but there's nothing played right now.
Speaker 1: Big Lou and Joe, I'm pretty confident that we will
Speaker 1: do at least one Mallard meet and greet in southern California.
Speaker 1: Last year, I convinced my wife to go to Minnesota
Speaker 1: to meet the fans of the show, and it was
Speaker 1: a wonderful time thanks to spin Cycle Regina who set
Speaker 1: that up. Had a wonderful event at the Mermaid and
Speaker 1: other than the speeding ticket I got, but other than that,
Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed Minnesota.
Speaker 1: It was great, went all over the state, went up
Speaker 1: to the Louth, as you guys know, Big Lou because
Speaker 1: you're listening to this stuff. But there's nothing planned. I
Speaker 1: don't think I convince my wife. I can convince her
Speaker 1: two years in a row to just go on vacation
Speaker 1: to meet listeners of the show. I don't think that
Speaker 1: can happen two years in a row. But what may happen.
Speaker 1: I know I have to go to North Carolina. There's
Speaker 1: a my Actually I'm going to South Carolin. I'm going
Speaker 1: to South and North Carolina because my niece I'm getting boy,
Speaker 1: I'm getting old, she's graduating from college. I'll be in Charleston,
Speaker 1: South Carolina. And then my wife's one of her relatives
Speaker 1: lives in North Carolina. So since we're gonna be in
Speaker 1: the South anyway, we're gonna drive from from South Carolina
Speaker 1: Charleston up to some town I don't even know which
Speaker 1: in North Carolina. So there's a chance I may be
Speaker 1: able to do a flash mob malor meet and if
Speaker 1: anyone knows somebody like in either Charleston or somewhere I
Speaker 1: don't even know the town, I'll have to look up
Speaker 1: the town. I'll have to say it in a future
Speaker 1: episode where I kind of the general area I will be.
Speaker 1: But if somebody has like a bar, a restaurant, or
Speaker 1: has a friend that does have something that we can
Speaker 1: meet at, that's always the hardest part is to find
Speaker 1: out where to meet. I did a mallord flash mob
Speaker 1: Mala meat and greet in Appleton, Wisconsin. I was visiting
Speaker 1: my brother and we didn't have a restaurant, but my
Speaker 1: brother had a friend that owned a Mexican restaurant in Appleton, Wisconsin,
Speaker 1: like a Mexican fusion restaurant, and so I said, Hey,
Speaker 1: We're doing a flash mob Malla meat greet this restaurant
Speaker 1: in Appleton. And then people were like, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: Why are you eating Mexican food in Appleton, Wisconsin? What's
Speaker 1: wrong with you? Busted my balls. There's nothing planned. We
Speaker 1: will do at least one in southern California. I think
Speaker 1: that's pretty safe to say. I think we have a
Speaker 1: venue that is interested in hosting us. Gordon Rightszza Parla. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's go a bunch of lunch, Gordon writes, and he says, Ben,
Speaker 1: I love you your show, You're supporting cast Danny everybody,
Speaker 1: but you ruin my sleep? What the F? I think
Speaker 1: we have a funny bone In commed he says, I'm retired.
Speaker 1: I moved to Florida. Moved from Florida, rather from Florida
Speaker 1: to Pickens, South Carolina. Oh maybe I'll meet Gordon when
Speaker 1: I go to South Carolina. I don't where's Pickens, South Carolina?
Speaker 1: Never heard of that? He says. My wife also retired
Speaker 1: from a family therapy practice. I taught in university and
Speaker 1: have been in business. But funny stuff is my heart.
Speaker 1: And he talks about his casting arounds creative outlet. He
Speaker 1: started a Facebook group called the Parking Club dedicated to
Speaker 1: parking as close as your destination or store as close
Speaker 1: to your destination of store as you possibly are able to,
Speaker 1: and he says points are self awarded. He says, I
Speaker 1: love that kind of stuff. Well, that's that's very funny.
Speaker 3: Gordon.
Speaker 1: I love it. I could win a lot of points
Speaker 1: on that. The closest I've ever parked at a store
Speaker 1: was in Kawai where your your your Spawn there has
Speaker 1: a named after we were There was a big storm
Speaker 1: that passed through like a flash storm. We were in
Speaker 1: a kmart in Kawai and this massive store of storm
Speaker 1: came through and the lights actually went out. The power
Speaker 1: went out in the kmar and so I, oh, crap,
Speaker 1: we got to get out of here. You know, I
Speaker 1: can send a kmar. I think that place closed. We're
Speaker 1: going out of business anyway. So the wife was there,
Speaker 1: so I was like, all right, and I'll do the
Speaker 1: adult thing. So I went out in the storm and
Speaker 1: it slowed down a little bit, and I pulled the
Speaker 1: car up and drove on the sidewalk right to the
Speaker 1: front of the door of the kmart so the wife
Speaker 1: could get in there in the rainstorm. I was technically
Speaker 1: parked right in front of the door of a kmart.
Speaker 1: What about you, Danny any close parking.
Speaker 4: It's a little bit of a remix though, because it's
Speaker 4: somebody parking very close to me. It was their destination.
Speaker 4: Though out kicked the coverage. I had my car parked
Speaker 4: on a level by itself where nobody usually parked at
Speaker 4: that time in the morning. Veto our production guy came in.
Speaker 4: He showed me a picture on his phone and he's like,
Speaker 4: look at what some asshole did to your car. No, boy,
Speaker 4: one hundred spots wide opened. Somebody parked so close to
Speaker 4: my car there was no way they opened their door
Speaker 4: and could get out, so I guess they got out
Speaker 4: through their passenger side, which freaked me out. I'm like,
Speaker 4: why did somebody do that? I still I have a
Speaker 4: picture of it. I still have never figured out who
Speaker 4: did that or why?
Speaker 1: Trying to bust your balls, That's what it felt like.
Speaker 1: That has happened a few times where I've come out
Speaker 1: to my car and somebody parked so close I couldn't
Speaker 1: get in my car. Are that is the worst.
Speaker 4: They were blocking their own driver's side by being so
Speaker 4: close to my passenger side.
Speaker 1: Got you, got you? Got you?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Very strange.
Speaker 4: That is bizarre, Like did this person crawl out the
Speaker 4: back of their vehicle?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: What is that about? Jim writes in from Parts Unknown?
Speaker 1: He says, hey, guys, enjoyed the podcast? How much? He says,
Speaker 1: how much of your show? Is scripted, and how much
Speaker 1: time do you spend writing it. Who sits on the
Speaker 1: writing sessions. Well, Jim, as you know, I'm the talent.
Speaker 1: So Cooper Loup actually writes the entire show. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: the head writer on the show. And then Eddie is
Speaker 1: part of that, and iowa Sam and then I rolled
Speaker 1: in about a minute before the show. Sometimes I'll even
Speaker 1: come in after the show starts and I'll sit down
Speaker 1: and I'll just they hand me the copy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we do.
Speaker 1: Remember when you worked on the show, Danny, we did
Speaker 1: the table read during the day. That was always exciting.
Speaker 4: That was fun and I really like you got to
Speaker 4: mention who still works for our group there downstairs.
Speaker 3: He is the teleprompter man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, even though you don't.
Speaker 4: Use teleprompter for television the way Looney does you use
Speaker 4: a teleprompter for your live radio show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so everything is you know, I don't know how
Speaker 1: much time they spend it on They probably spend about
Speaker 1: eight nine hours a day writing the scripts for the
Speaker 1: monologues in fact checking, you know, we're rapping and all that.
Speaker 1: And it's really good too. I just roll in there
Speaker 1: and then whatever they write, I just read it. I'm
Speaker 1: like a train seal. I just bounce the ball on
Speaker 1: my head and I read the copy. It's a It's
Speaker 1: a great way to work, you know. And I really
Speaker 1: want to thank Coop and those guys for writing the
Speaker 1: show because it means a lot. It does, and it
Speaker 1: makes my life easy. Danny, I get all the glory.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: People say, oh, man, you write these big monologues. You
Speaker 1: start like at five o'clock in the afternoon getting ready
Speaker 1: for the show. That's amazing, right, That's nuts. I mean,
Speaker 1: but no, I don't. I don't. I'm sitting on my ass.
Speaker 1: I'm watching YouTube videos.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm doing. I'm not. Come on, you think
Speaker 1: I'm the talent. You think I would spend time writing
Speaker 1: scripts for a radio.
Speaker 3: It's radio.
Speaker 4: Even though a lot of people don't know this about you,
Speaker 4: But even though it's twenty twenty four, you're still capturing
Speaker 4: Pokemon on your phone.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I love Pokemon. I'm playing Mario Brothers. I'm
Speaker 1: old school man. I'm going to the art I'm going
Speaker 1: to the Arcade. I got the Orange Julius. I'm playing
Speaker 1: Tron all the old video games. Great time. Yeah, thank you, Jim.
Speaker 3: You're going into Hollywood video.
Speaker 1: Steve in Chicago. It's Chicago adjacent, Steve says. He says,
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny. I know this is not a political podcast,
Speaker 1: but oh, here we go.
Speaker 3: Danny.
Speaker 1: Now, when the word butt is said, you know what
Speaker 1: means what that means? Right, when the word butt is there,
Speaker 1: that means that whatever you just said is live and
Speaker 1: you don't believe whatever you just say.
Speaker 4: About to be a big ass, that's the.
Speaker 1: Butt, yeah, he says. But Steve says, we need the
Speaker 1: malor wisdom. How do we get younger people to run
Speaker 1: and become president of the United States? Yeah, well, I
Speaker 1: guess you got to offer more money. I guess I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 4: Well, this is interesting because Alex Tyshirt, Rob Gara, Wrong Button, Bob,
Speaker 4: and myself. Just a couple of weeks ago, somebody in
Speaker 4: the studio brought that up that we haven't had young
Speaker 4: leadership in our country for a long time. We got
Speaker 4: all these dudes that are the age of our grandparents.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's you know, Trump is seventy. I guess he
Speaker 1: turns seventy eight this summer. Biden turned eighty one last November.
Speaker 1: I mean, so there are already on borrowed time, right,
Speaker 1: the average American male lifespans I think seventy five. I
Speaker 1: think so they're already in bonus time. They're in overtime
Speaker 1: right now. Good for them. Although Trump seems to be
Speaker 1: doing better than Biden. But I who's I guess they
Speaker 1: I'm mumbling here. But Obama didn't. They thought when Obama
Speaker 1: won he was considered the young hip guy. But how
Speaker 1: old was he when he became president.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's a good question. Let's see.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me see. I'm pulling that up right now.
Speaker 3: Let's go go godget go, Internet go.
Speaker 1: I think I have it. I have it. I have it, Danny,
Speaker 1: I win the race.
Speaker 3: My internet gave me a big middle.
Speaker 1: Forty seven years and one hundred and sixty nine days
Speaker 1: at the time of inauguration. See the youngest president. People
Speaker 1: think it's John F. Kennedy, But the youngest president was
Speaker 1: Theodore Roosevelt when at the time of inauguration he was
Speaker 1: forty two years, three hundred, three hundred and twenty two days. Yes,
Speaker 1: he was a little younger than John F. Kenny Bill Clinton.
Speaker 1: Way back in the nineties, he was actually the third youngest.
Speaker 1: So we did have in our lifetimes. A a real
Speaker 1: young I guess, but no one. What's the minimum age
Speaker 1: to be president? Is it forty? Is that the minimum
Speaker 1: age to be president?
Speaker 3: Thirty five?
Speaker 1: I think you're not gonna get anyone younger than that,
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't. It's an interesting question, Steven, if
Speaker 1: we had the answer. But you got to go to
Speaker 1: politics when you're in your twenties, and you gotta but
Speaker 1: you gotta have that. Rathmetask the other problem. Let's be
Speaker 1: honest here, most of the people that are into politics
Speaker 1: are older, right, for some reason. Before you check it out,
Speaker 1: you suddenly become very concerned about politics. And it's like
Speaker 1: the new sports. It's when you're younger, you pull for
Speaker 1: the for the Dodger of the Reds. I mean, you
Speaker 1: get older, it's team blue or team red. It's the
Speaker 1: that's what it's about.
Speaker 3: That's weird.
Speaker 4: I still can't listen to political talk radio. It's just
Speaker 4: so boring to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could, I could make it to make it
Speaker 1: somewhat better.
Speaker 3: You could make him through ten minutes.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm backuld if I did it, I could make it. Interestingly,
Speaker 1: the average presidents are sworn in at age fifty.
Speaker 4: Five. I know Reagan was almost seventy four, right, because
Speaker 4: he was the oldest prior to Biden.
Speaker 1: Well, no, actually Trump Trump Trump Reagan and then Biden
Speaker 1: Trump Trump.
Speaker 3: Okay, got it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Reagan was the oldest. He was sixty nine, almost
Speaker 1: seventy years old, sixty nine years three.
Speaker 4: Hundred and then seventy three when he was reelected, yeah.
Speaker 1: The second time. But uh, Trump seventy years old when
Speaker 1: he was elected the forty fifth president, and then Biden
Speaker 1: seventy eight. Man a lot.
Speaker 4: Well, we just had President's Day a week or so ago,
Speaker 4: some fun presidential facts.
Speaker 1: Thanks to you, Steve and your little butt that you
Speaker 1: tossed in there. Tim and Iowa or Tim Wrightson not
Speaker 1: in Iowa? Say, is that Iowa Sam moving on to
Speaker 1: the dreaded first shift and where? Uh? Yeah, this has
Speaker 1: been going on for several months, but Iowa sim Is
Speaker 1: is leaving the overnight and I think are we allowed
Speaker 1: to say where we'll be hanging out? Danny, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Uh, I have no idea.
Speaker 4: We've all had our fingers up our butts on this
Speaker 4: one because we were waiting for somebody to be trained
Speaker 4: on some of the weekend shows that way Lorena could
Speaker 4: move and join your show. And Iowa Sam, I believe
Speaker 4: he is going to be now in charge of mopping
Speaker 4: the fifth floor of our building day.
Speaker 1: But only the fifth floor, not the fourth or the sixth,
Speaker 1: only the.
Speaker 3: Fifth floor, just the fifth floor.
Speaker 1: He just has to do it Monday through Friday because
Speaker 1: nothing gets dirty on the weekend.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he said he wanted better hours, so they
Speaker 4: said nine am to three pm, you're sweeping the fifth floor.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's a promotion.
Speaker 4: They're actually paying them five dollars more per hour than
Speaker 4: for what he did on your show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was. He's debating that or becoming a bus driver.
Speaker 1: You know what is funny is the like you know,
Speaker 1: on radio, things change, roles change, and we're all like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what we can say and what we
Speaker 1: can't say. Right away, when we found out that Iowa
Speaker 1: Sam was going to leave the show, Eddie on Eddie
Speaker 1: would be like and in his retirement tour is you know,
Speaker 1: it's goodbye tour or whatever, Like he's the departing Eddie
Speaker 1: didn't waste any time. He's like, oh yeah, Iowa Sam's leaving.
Speaker 1: Like he's sitting on the air, I'm like, what are
Speaker 1: you doing. You're not supposed to say that.
Speaker 3: Come on, I love how Eddie has zero filter. It's awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And by the way, this might be even more
Speaker 4: entertaining than Iowa Sam talk.
Speaker 3: The first left handed president ever jams Garfield.
Speaker 1: Oh that's wonderful.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is one twentieth president of the Did you
Speaker 4: know Andrew Jackson was the first of seven presidents born
Speaker 4: in a log cabin.
Speaker 1: I did not know who was the first president that
Speaker 1: was a college graduate because there there wasn't a lot
Speaker 1: of the early presidents didn't go to college because there
Speaker 1: was no college to go to. So they couldn't go
Speaker 1: to college because there was no college. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Sean Adams is that right, graduated with a Bachelor of
Speaker 4: Arts and he was a waiter right after that.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 1: Grover Cleveland the only president in history to hold the
Speaker 1: job of a hangman. That Wow, he was a hangman.
Speaker 1: He was once that game. He was once the sheriff
Speaker 1: of Erie County, New York, and twice had to spring
Speaker 1: the trap at a hanging so he killed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he did that on chalkboards at school the way
Speaker 4: we did. He actually had young people.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, did you know that the the S and
Speaker 1: Harry S. Truman does not stand for anything. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: therefore there is no period after his middle initial. It's
Speaker 1: just his parents gave him an S as his middle name.
Speaker 1: Middle letter man. All Right, I love presidential random fun
Speaker 1: facts about anything. What the hell masshole? Mickey writes in
Speaker 1: on the Pot, He says, from the Commonwealth, what is
Speaker 1: your number on a concert that you've attended? And that
Speaker 1: what made it number one on your big board? Mine
Speaker 1: is a tie between a perfect circle and four and
Speaker 1: Roger Walter or Waters twenty ten, roughly a week after
Speaker 1: my mom. My mom passed away. That's pretty cool. I
Speaker 1: have not been to many content. I can count on
Speaker 1: one hand how many concerts I've been to the coolest
Speaker 1: experience I ever had was when I did security for
Speaker 1: Kiss FM in La of the radio station and they
Speaker 1: had the what was it, Wango Tango I think is
Speaker 1: what it was called. They still I don't know if
Speaker 1: they still do that. There was a Wango Tango concert
Speaker 1: and they were so cheap, which is great radio story.
Speaker 1: They just had people volunteer to work different jobs at
Speaker 1: Wango Tango, and I was a big guy, so they
Speaker 1: had me kind of do security and I got to
Speaker 1: hang out and escort. They also had professional security, but
Speaker 1: I was like, in addition, Hoody and the Blowfish were
Speaker 1: the big the big act that I was around in
Speaker 1: those days. But so that was like a big fond memory.
Speaker 1: But Danny, you've been to I'm sure a bunch of concerts,
Speaker 1: many more than I over the years.
Speaker 4: At the hip hop pop up, you probably saw some
Speaker 4: Biggie memorabilia.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, there was a bunch of Biggi stuff there
Speaker 1: for sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the legendary notorious Big. I saw him perform at
Speaker 4: km EL Summer Jam in Mountain View, California when I
Speaker 4: was a kid. It was such a memorable performance because
Speaker 4: it was a super a festival show, summer Jam it
Speaker 4: used to be. It was super hot that day at
Speaker 4: Shoreline Amphitheater, so hot that Biggie's DJ was having trouble
Speaker 4: with his vinyl records as he was trying to play
Speaker 4: the instrumentals for Biggie to wrap over, and the songs
Speaker 4: kept skipping and going off beat, and Biggie got so
Speaker 4: pissed he threw a water bottle at his DJ. At
Speaker 4: the time, obviously Biggie didn't know why is He must
Speaker 4: have thought his DJ had drank too much or something.
Speaker 3: It turns out it was so hot his DJ's records warped.
Speaker 3: Is that they were.
Speaker 1: From the heat of the sun.
Speaker 3: They were wharping.
Speaker 4: And when that happens to a vinyl record, look it
Speaker 4: up on the internet. And of course he couldn't stay
Speaker 4: on beat. So the poor DJ was doing his and
Speaker 4: Biggie just went off on his microphone and people were
Speaker 4: scratching their heads wondering what the hell was going on.
Speaker 4: But still before that happened, it was amazing to hear
Speaker 4: him rap live. And by the way, that was my
Speaker 4: very first concert as a kid.
Speaker 1: Oh that's pretty cool. Didn't you tell a story about
Speaker 1: that happening to you with the heat in the car?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had the same problem.
Speaker 4: I drove up to northern California to do a Reunion
Speaker 4: gig and it was so hot outside. It was an
Speaker 4: outdoor event. It was so hot that my control, my
Speaker 4: Serrato control records warped from the sun and the heat.
Speaker 3: Really hard day to DJ.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the middle part of California is ridiculously hot. It is.
Speaker 1: That's why they grow all the vegetables and all that
Speaker 1: stuff there. It's just insane. Audigen's But thank you masshole Mickey.
Speaker 1: And you said your mom passed away around twenty ten.
Speaker 1: My mom passed in twenty thirteen, so not that far
Speaker 1: after that. A Xavier writes, since its Ben, is this
Speaker 1: the year I can get my hopes up for your
Speaker 1: Clippers to represent the West and the finals. Well, it
Speaker 1: is Hip the Clip, Savior, it is Hip the Clip
Speaker 1: And things are looking good right now as long as
Speaker 1: we make some kind of deal with the devil. If
Speaker 1: the Clippers do win, I know it's gonna happen. Say, well,
Speaker 1: it's a conspiracy because Balmer built that arena and they
Speaker 1: wanted Balmer to have a trophy and all that when
Speaker 1: they move into the Intuit Dome next year. But yeah,
Speaker 1: things are looking pretty good. That there are if you
Speaker 1: were if you were to look at a big board,
Speaker 1: there are roughly five teams that you would say championship,
Speaker 1: legitimate shot at championship, and the Clippers are one of
Speaker 1: those five teams.
Speaker 3: What is still wrong with the Clippers?
Speaker 1: So they're right there in the conversation to win an
Speaker 1: NBA championship. But the problem is these guys all get
Speaker 1: hurt and they've been mostly healthy, which is shocking. But
Speaker 1: I'm always waiting for the other to shoot to drop.
Speaker 1: I'm always waiting for the other shoot to.
Speaker 4: Drop or and you guys need somebody to never for
Speaker 4: Harden when he vomits all over his sneakers.
Speaker 1: No, it's okay because we have four guys. Anybody on
Speaker 1: the Clippers is half of what Kobe Bryant is. That
Speaker 1: was That was clearly edited. I never never said, is
Speaker 1: what you're playing here wrong? One time I sat down
Speaker 1: and watched an episode of Like on the Spectrum, which
Speaker 1: was a Netflix dating show for people with autism. Does
Speaker 1: that sound right?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I saw that. That was pretty crazy. Well, what's the
Speaker 1: craziest stuff you watched there, Danny?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 4: I love trash TV. Love Is Blind season six. Have
Speaker 4: you heard everybody buzzing about that?
Speaker 1: I have her a little talk. I've not seen any
Speaker 1: of that.
Speaker 4: There's a girl on there who told the guy they
Speaker 4: have a wall between them because they're in a pod. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you're not supposed to see what the other person looks like,
Speaker 4: and you're not supposed to describe yourself. But the guy
Speaker 4: asked her, does anybody tell you you look like any
Speaker 4: certain celebrity?
Speaker 3: And she made the mistake of telling him Megan Fox,
Speaker 3: she looks more like Megan trainer.
Speaker 1: Hoo goofed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and she.
Speaker 4: Has been roasted on social media the past week or so.
Speaker 1: It's funny, Mike and Fullerton, we do a couple more Mike,
Speaker 1: and Fullerton writes in says, I've been and Danny, I've
Speaker 1: got a sporty question for you guys this week. Would
Speaker 1: you rather be able to slam, dunk or make a
Speaker 1: three pointer from anywhere on the court? That's his question.
Speaker 1: He says. Also, when your milk is starting to spoil,
Speaker 1: do you immediately pour it all out or do you
Speaker 1: give it one more go? I give it one more go,
Speaker 1: maybe even two yo, says Mike in fulletsin. So as
Speaker 1: you know Mike from being a fan of the show.
Speaker 1: Back in the day when I played ball, I was
Speaker 1: known as Moneyball Maller and you know mister net in
Speaker 1: the bottom of the net and all that, and shot the.
Speaker 4: Circus shot, Yeah, the high arching shot sponsored by Kangaroo.
Speaker 3: Shoes, a rain maker. They called the game was dunker u.
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, I watched there was a
Speaker 1: guy named Purvish Short who played in the NBA long
Speaker 1: ago and you know, he was old. When I was a.
Speaker 3: Kid, never heard of him.
Speaker 1: I watched him shoot before. I went to a Clipper game.
Speaker 1: Before the Clipper game, and he shot the highest arcing shot.
Speaker 1: It was the most beautiful shot. When it went in,
Speaker 1: it barely touched the net. It was awesome.
Speaker 4: You know what Crawford used to shoot the ball like that,
Speaker 4: Jamal Crawford. Yeah, Jamal Crawford. He shot rainbow threes and
Speaker 4: I loved even though I know I wanted the Lakers
Speaker 4: to sign him. Yeah, you're right. There were rumors that
Speaker 4: he was going to sign with the Lakers. It never
Speaker 4: it never happened, and he kind of quietly went off
Speaker 4: into the sunset at the end of his career. But boy, man,
Speaker 4: I used to love watching him shoot the ball because
Speaker 4: it's how you win at a like a theme park.
Speaker 4: Yesterday we talked about Universal Studios. Whenever they have that
Speaker 4: three point shot to win a stuffed animal, you have
Speaker 4: to hiarch the ball like that because they have the
Speaker 4: rims smaller than normal, so the ball has to drop
Speaker 4: straight down through it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, for sure, for sure. Jamal Crawford was
Speaker 1: a good player for a number of years. Great guy
Speaker 1: off the bench for the Lob City Flippers back in
Speaker 1: the day. Who else do we have? Keavin Kevin in Kansas,
Speaker 1: says Ben and Danyge. Since retiring last spring, I've done
Speaker 1: a lot of subbing, which tuts me around coughing, hacking,
Speaker 1: and sneezing students of all ages. Currently, I am sucking
Speaker 1: on some garlic ear like candy. Well, good for you, Kevin,
Speaker 1: That's what I do. I did remember to remove all
Speaker 1: that paper like skin this time. Well that is important.
Speaker 1: Besides that, what are your guys go to remedies at
Speaker 1: this time of the year? Thanks so well. Garlic is mine.
Speaker 1: I've talked about that a lot of the years I've
Speaker 1: been stayed relatively healthy. I made it through the entire
Speaker 1: football season without getting sick and was able to do
Speaker 1: the TV show without illness all year, which was pretty cool.
Speaker 1: The other thing, which I have added, because my mother
Speaker 1: in law is a nurse and it has been a
Speaker 1: nurse for many, many years, there's this supplement pack. It's
Speaker 1: called Emergency I believe it's what it's called, YEP, and
Speaker 1: so I will use that. She recommended it, and since
Speaker 1: she's a nurse, I figure she probably knows what she's
Speaker 1: talking about. And so when you start feeling sick, I
Speaker 1: do the garlic and then I supplement that with It's
Speaker 1: a little powder mix and you can get it at
Speaker 1: Costco or any.
Speaker 4: Of the big Costco is the best place to get
Speaker 4: it because you get a big pack for an affordable price.
Speaker 1: It's like tangerine flavor. They have different flavors and just
Speaker 1: mix it with water and take it like a shot.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: A teacher invented that airborne years ago, and after airborne
Speaker 4: emergency merged onto the scene, and that's been a really
Speaker 4: popular thing. Right before you get on an airplane and
Speaker 4: when you're traveling, because obviously you're breathing all the same
Speaker 4: air as all the other passengers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so those are those are a couple of things.
Speaker 1: Any other remedies from the old country.
Speaker 4: Danny got to take a lot of zinc and just
Speaker 4: a ton of fluid's a ton of water. Yeah, you
Speaker 4: really got to drink a shit ton of waters, zinc
Speaker 4: and emergency.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, Kevin. By the way, you're retired, but
Speaker 1: you're still teaching, so you're kind of not I mean,
Speaker 1: I know you do it when you want subbing, but
Speaker 1: you're still still out there. You're still in the battlefield,
Speaker 1: Ian writes, says, my question is can you please stop
Speaker 1: yelling number one? It kills my ear drums. Other than that,
Speaker 1: the show is great, well, Ian, it's kind of what
Speaker 1: we do on the show. I did. I want to
Speaker 1: mention Jonathan from Delaware, formerly from Philly, Barry from South Carolina,
Speaker 1: and my guy Mason the Millennial. All those guys, and
Speaker 1: there were several others that had got right down the names.
Speaker 1: They sent very nice messages. They were saddened about Rachel
Speaker 1: from Montabello's passing, so thank you, thank you for that. Also,
Speaker 1: I saw Mason. He was upset with the toolbag Carol.
Speaker 1: He said, and I don't have time to read that, Mason,
Speaker 1: but I thank you for your message. We learned this
Speaker 1: week that Mason the Millennial, the nicest comas mellowist guy
Speaker 1: that just like smokes weed all the time's kind of cool.
Speaker 1: Mellow guy actually went to jail for dealing drugs. That
Speaker 1: was kind of wild. That was a wild fun fact
Speaker 1: that we learned this week.
Speaker 3: Smoke weed every day.
