WEBVTT - The Fifth Hour: "Cancelled by Week 9" Mail Bag 0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:01.480 Kabooms. 0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:05.400 If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.160 a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.479 of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.520 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:17.480 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:18.360 Wow. 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.320 The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special. 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:28.480 The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now. 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:36.839 In the air everywhere, Well, come in to the fifth 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:42.760 Hour jump on the bandwagon, out of Control me Ben Mahler. 0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:46.559 Along with the great Danny g Radio. You hear us 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:48.880 during the week on Fox Sports Radio. I'm on late 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:50.880 night as you know, the Ben Mahler Show. This show 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:54.240 a spin off of that show. Danny is on during 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:57.160 the week in the afternoon with Coveno and Rich and 0:00:57.200 --> 0:01:02.000 we form Voltron here on the week kends. Every single 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:06.600 day there's audio content and today being Sunday, so we 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:10.240 do have on the agenda the mail Bag, but we're 0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:12.759 not going to start with the mail bag, Danny, because 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:15.120 there's some stuff we didn't get to yesterday that we 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:16.160 need to get to today. 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:20.600 Yeah, lots of interesting stories. We call it. Pop goes 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:21.200 the culture. 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.319 That's right, and we have a special musical open. It's 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.000 kind of a big deal. It really is, Ohio al. 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:35.040 John John. 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.800 All right, and this is important. This is our first 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:49.280 full NFL Sunday, which means a couple of things. It 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.600 means that we really need you to focus on us 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:55.440 before the games or after the games, probably not during 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:59.400 the game. And it also means that Benny versus the 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.600 Penny will stop airing once these games kick off. So 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.240 if you're listening early in the morning here on this Sunday, 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.440 there are supposed to be some viewings. I don't have 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.919 the complete schedule, but I was told by the people 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:15.440 in NBC that this thing will air right up until 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:18.240 about kickoff, because why would you put the show on. 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:22.360 It's dated, It's not an evergreen show once the games begin. 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.200 Although I did tell one of the people, Danny, that 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:28.320 it is probably more entertaining after the games have been 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:32.240 played and you can look at how wrong I was 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:36.280 or how ridiculous the penny was. But they don't agree 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.680 with that. Cooler heads prevailed, and so it will stop 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:44.360 airing at the end of well, I guess one o'clock 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:48.119 Eastern time, when the games kick off. So there is that. 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:51.160 But this is pop goes the culture, and these are 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:55.600 random pop culture stories and we give our brief thoughts 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:57.720 on them. That's the way this is supposed to work. 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:05.560 First one is from television's Jimmy Fallon, a scathing rebuke 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:12.440 of Jimmy Fallon in Rolling Stone, chronicling what it's like 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.880 to be an employee under Jimmy Fallon on the Tonight 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:21.359 Show and you know, claiming it's very toxic. It's this 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:25.160 is a I guess you would call it a hatchet job. 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:26.760 It's a hit piece. 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:28.760 Yeah, I mean that's the way it read to me. 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.360 Maybe not, maybe people read it differently, but it's like, hey, 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.120 Jimmy Fallon's a bad dude. I didn't have a good 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:37.840 experience with Jimmy Fallon, and we need to cancel Jimmy Fallon. 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:42.560 I have heard stories about this guy, and I probably 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.520 bought into some of them because I just don't think 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:49.680 he's that funny. He laughs at his own jokes constantly, 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.200 and he mumbles a lot. I can't make out half 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:54.440 the stuff he's mumbling. 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.520 A buddy of mine who works in the business sent 0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:00.720 me a text the other day, Danny, and he said, 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:04.800 how unimportant are late night TV hosts. They've all been 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.360 off the air for seven months or something like that. 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:11.640 Now has anyone missed them? Has missed Jimmy Kimmel or 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:13.560 Jimmy Fallon or any of these other guys. 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:15.280 What a great point. 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:19.560 Yeah, they don't matter. They used to matter. They were 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:21.920 like Johnny Carson and Jay. 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:26.080 Leno and Letterman. Letterman was off the air for that 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.560 many months, people would riot. 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:32.200 Yeah, there'd be upheople. Jimmy Fallon's off the air. Nobody 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:36.320 even notices. I wouldn't even thought about Jimmy Fallon if 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:40.719 it was not for this Rolling Stone story. But I'll summarize, Danny. 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.080 I assume you guys talked about this on Covino and 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:45.680 Rich or whatever this week, but I didn't talk about 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:47.680 my show. And so they just talked about him being 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.839 a phony, like you know, he's the goodie two shoes 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:56.480 guy on television and it's a total sham and all that, 0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:03.159 and he's they claimed he was erratic, intimidating, rude, they said. 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.559 And they said, there you know, they're good and bad days. 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:11.960 Good Jimmy days, Bad Jimmy days. And according to two 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:16.359 current and fourteen former employees, the hosts of the show. 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:21.880 There had a toxic workplace for years outside the boundaries, 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:24.360 and you know, I talked about it radic behavior, as 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:28.800 I said, I said, it was just a huge, huge 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.520 issue there and probably. 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:33.000 Got to take some of it with a grain of 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:36.000 salt because I used to work on your live radio show. 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.240 There were there were good Ben Mallard days. There were 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:39.760 bad Ben Mallard days. 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.800 Isn't that everyone? I thought, that's how human beings operate, like, 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.960 is that not how they operate? Other people that never 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:48.719 have bad days, never have good days? 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.960 They Yeah, but you can microphones at people like fifty cent. 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:59.360 Oh they deserved it, you know, they deserve And so 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:04.040 the Stone story says that employees would make jokes about 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:09.440 killing themselves, oh God forbid. They'd refer to the guest 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:14.800 dressing rooms as crying rooms, as that's where they would 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:16.440 go to deal with their emotions. 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.719 Last week, I bought a dog and I named an emotion. 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:26.400 Is it possible, Jimmy Kimmel or Jimmy Jimmy Fallon. I 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:28.200 got my Jimmy's mixed up. You see what Jimmy, You've 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:31.880 seen them all, But Jimmy Fallon is it possible he's 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.719 the a hole or the people that work on his 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:40.440 show are so soft and so mentally weak that they 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:44.359 can't handle. You know, they can't handle. But you know 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.400 who's the bad guys? Is it the people that are grumbling? 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:51.760 Or is Jimmy Fallon? Although I remember, is it Ellen DeGeneres. 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.479 He sounds like the male Ellen degenerous. People used to 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:55.680 google on Ellen. 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.880 Her staff had the same exact complaints. 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:05.240 Yeah. Stephen King, Stephen King, legendary writer Stephen King. It 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:10.160 was revealed that his favorite song when he writes, he 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:13.880 plays one song. He said he had to stop recently 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:15.680 because his wife got upset. But this is also from 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:17.400 Rolling Stone. I guess all our news today is from 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.920 Rolling Stone. This is the horror writer. You know. We 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:23.680 want a thriller, you want to sci fi? That's your guy. 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:27.680 He revealed that back in the day, he used to 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:31.680 listen to one song and one song only on repeat 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:35.520 when he was writing, and the only reason he stopped 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:39.080 is because his wife was so pissed off she threatened 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:42.040 to divorce him because he kept listening that song. Let's 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:46.440 see if you remember Danny, Let's go back nineteen nineties 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:51.400 mambo number five. Remember that song? 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:54.920 Yeah, of course, but why would he have that on repeat? 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:57.800 It makes no sense, I know, I don't know, but 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:01.560 that's that. He said, I had to dance mix, and 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:03.800 I played that thing until my wife said, yeah, one 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.520 more time, I'm going to f and leave. So he 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:11.640 liked the dance mix, and who knew that just resonated 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.040 with him. He's a big fan a little bit of 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:17.120 Erica exactly. 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.560 I would call myself after hearing that four times in 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:21.040 a row. 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:25.440 Well, here's a story that some people are saying is 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:29.640 a bombshell report. I don't think this is a bombshell report. 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:31.840 I need to let my wife know about this. So 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:36.800 there's a report that claims a Hollywood PR firm has 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:45.599 purchased high scores on Rotten Tomatoes. Yeah. Yeah, and the 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:51.040 story indicated this is an industry wide problem. Hello. So 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.800 this is what I've always said. My wife runs to 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:58.320 the reviews for restaurants and movies and entertainment. She is 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:02.040 a huge fan of these views, and I've always said 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:07.160 they're bullshit, that it's people manipulating it, it's the matrix. 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.839 You don't know what's real what's not real. And then 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:12.199 she'll be like well, the restaurants, they're not going to 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.240 spend they don't have the budget to buy reviews. I'm like, yeah, 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:19.240 well maybe maybe not. But a report from something called 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:29.240 Vulture says that a PR firm obscure often self published 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:35.760 critics who were part of a pool that they conspired together, 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:39.480 this network for Rotten Tomatoes. They paid them each fifty 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:43.240 dollars or more for a review of the film, a 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:48.480 positive review of the film. So and they got enough 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:52.199 people that they were able to manipulate Rotten Tomatoes. 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:56.880 Yeah, that's why. Just go see it yourself. If you 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:00.840 really want to see it, watch the trailer, watch multiple 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:04.480 trailers of movies, and just decide for yourself. 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:09.199 So fifty bucks, that's actually not that much fifty bucks 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.080 for I don't know how many people they had to 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:14.160 get to write a review, but probably a lot. But 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:17.520 still that's not for a big Hollywood PR company. That 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.360 doesn't seem like it's that that big a deal. What 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:24.600 is next done? Pop goes the culture? Well, I'm sure 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.320 the people in the music business love this story. An 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:32.240 AI song has been submitted for a Grammy Award. How 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:32.800 great is that? 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:34.720 Boo? 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:39.480 That's just what we need. The box taking over ghostwriters. 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:43.839 Heart on My Sleeve, the AI generated song mimicking Drake 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:50.440 and the Weekend has been submitted for a Grammy barbiton. Yeah, 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:54.280 I'm good on that. I don't know. I'm fine. Let's 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:57.280 see what is next year. Well, here's a story. I've 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.520 heard this in the past and it has happen again. 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:04.440 There's a guy named Herb Alpert spent his entire life 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:10.720 in the music business and eighty years in the music business. 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:15.520 And this guy talked about you know what it's like. 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:18.400 He was the co founder of A and M Records, 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:22.960 so he's a big time guy. And he got into 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.000 some detail about you know what it's like to be 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:27.240 in the music business and all that and the money. 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:33.040 Quote in this is the follow He talked about Mozart 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:34.800 and he named a bunch of other artists. He said, 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:39.760 all of us have only the same twelve notes. That's 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:44.480 it all. All the music is just combining together the 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:49.160 perfect mix of ingredients. But you're using the same the 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:52.480 same twelve notes. Yeah, it's kind of cool. 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:57.000 Yeah, they country music even less. They say three chords 0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:59.000 and a good story. 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:02.360 A good that story, right, you're supposed to do that. 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.160 Now nowadays They have all different kinds of stories in 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.520 that music, and they even have some hip hop beats 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:08.120 in country. 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:11.000 Now. Yeah, it makes those together. But the key is 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:13.480 like moving. You have to move this stuff around. It's 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:17.760 kind it. Yeah, yeah, absolutely so. So this wise always 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:21.000 blows me away when these these big lawsuits happen and 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:25.480 people get sued for stealing intellectual property, and it's like 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:30.800 you only have like twelve notes and how not that 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.080 people don't steal. I realize people steal. 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:35.040 I get it well. I think a lot of it too, 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:36.680 is subconsciously done. 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:37.840 You know. 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.960 That's why you and I we have the same routine 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.800 when you go into the studios. I bet you're not 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:48.079 listening to sports talk radio. I don't do it either, 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:50.480 because when we get there, we want to kind of 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:53.160 be a clean slate. If you have voices in your 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:56.720 head of takes that you just heard, some of that 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:58.640 may come out of your mouth, even if you didn't 0:12:58.679 --> 0:12:59.720 mean for it to happen. 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:04.400 Yeah, you end up parroting what you hear. That's absolutely yeah. 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:07.880 I do not listen to sports radio. And there's people 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:09.480 I love that I work with, but I don't. I 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:11.400 try not to listen because I don't want to, you know, 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:13.199 just be the same, do the same thing they're doing. 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:16.439 I gotta do my own thing otherwise, Yeah, what's the point. 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:20.520 And if you're just gonna copy other people, that's new. Good. 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:22.760 Let's get to the mail bag. Why don't we do that? 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:23.840 What do you say, mail bag? 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.319 Yes, yeah, this isn't a copy of something on your 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:27.240 live show. 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.520 Not at all. This is original content. These are actual 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:41.160 letters from actual listener to the show. It's this bag. 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:49.600 We're gonna go rapid fire so we can get as 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.160 many of these emails on the air. We got a 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.640 big mail bag. I don't know if you know this, Danny. 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:55.880 I'm kind of a big deals Tom Lady would say 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:59.960 on television. So no, my ass feels so good right 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:00.400 right now? 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:06.199 Oh that means that you can pay me and your 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.320 staff double what you're paying at. 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:12.160 Oh sure, yeah, yeah wrong, Yeah, I've used all of 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.120 Looney's old Looney would say, oh, we do the radio 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.800 shays oh yo. We'd interview the Fox TV people, and 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:19.840 Looney'd be like, well, you know TV people, they're better 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:24.440 people because they're on television anyway. First one is from 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:27.840 Alf from the State Fair, says Ben. It's that time 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:30.080 of the year, at least here in New England county 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:34.120 fair time. Do you guys ever hit county or state farris? 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:38.360 And if so, what's your favorite food at these events? 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.640 That's question number one, so we'll get that one. Yeah. 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.720 I love I love going. I love the idea of 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:48.800 the county Fair. I'm a big fan. My wife hates them, 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:53.360 she says, I hate them. That's it's too hot, there's 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:56.960 too many people there, you know, you know, everything's expensive 0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:00.000 now and all of those things, all of those points 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:03.000 standing my wife has said, are absolutely true. Yet I 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:06.760 still romanticize going to the fair when I was a 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:11.600 kid and the excitement of seeing new stuff and new 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:15.280 foods and getting a corn dog the size of your 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:19.800 forearm and a pretzel the size of your head, deep 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:23.160 fried twinkies and all that. I love the idea of 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:27.760 all that, but yeah, the cost is insane, it's dirty, 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:32.280 that stuff's a pain in the ass. But overall, in 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.520 my head, I love the county Fair. I love the 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:36.760 County Fair. What about you did? 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:41.040 Yeah, and working for radio stations my whole life, there 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:44.880 would be some pretty good acts performing on the main stage, 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:48.000 first come, first served seating as long as you bought 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:51.160 a ticket that evening to get into the county Fair. 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:55.920 I'll never forget the great Eddy Money performing at the 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:59.280 California Strawberry Festival. It's kind of like a county fair, 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:03.400 but it's all strawberry stuff and he's on the main stage. 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:06.720 And Beny wanted to show off that he was a local, right, 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:11.480 So he said, everybody out there supporting me tonight, you're 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:16.400 not fans, you're friends. In fact, I live in the area. 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:20.520 He lived in Westlake Village, but he said, you're all 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:22.800 friends of mine here in Camarillo. 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:28.240 Oh no, well, ladies and gentlemen. 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:32.280 The name of the city was Camillo. So we had 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:35.920 a great laugh about that. Lots of good live performances 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.360 over the years that I got to see. As far 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:41.240 as the food, you said it, man, the corn dog 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:42.720 has to be on top of the list. 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:50.040 Yeah, big, big fan. So I saw a billboard for 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:55.520 Ed Sheeran performing at Yah Bah Bah. Is that the casino? 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:57.280 That is the casino? 0:16:57.400 --> 0:17:00.600 Yeah? But isn't he's still in the prime of his 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:02.720 career or is he washed up now? I always thought 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:04.359 to be Maybe I'm wrong in this, but I always 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:08.040 thought the people performing at casinos you know, have already 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:09.680 had their time and they're just trying to make a 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:11.800 little more money. And just you know, it's an easy 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:14.639 racket to go to the different casinos. 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:18.800 Tribes that have billions of dollars. That's why they're able 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:22.679 to get superstar performers to play their music at some 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.560 of the casinos because they are filthy rich. 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:29.680 Okay, all right, then I stand corrected. I was wrong. 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:31.480 I just assumed it because it used to be all 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:34.480 like washed up celebrities that would be in the casinos 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:37.960 around La, the tribal casinos around La. It would be 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:41.240 all those those steps. Question number two from Alfie says, 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.919 does Danny even listen to all these dopey questions or 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:48.480 does he tune out like the Bennettes. Yeah, yeah, the 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:52.320 Bennettes do not. They do not. The paying attention part 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:54.359 of that is often a problem for the Bennettes. But no, 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:55.479 you seem to pay attention. 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:59.040 You seem to pay Yeah, I'm engaged half the time. 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:05.280 Yeah, Big Lou, he's on number two from the LBC. 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:07.720 I want to get that as a drop Danny from 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:12.840 that commercial. I love that anyway, Big Lou says on 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:16.160 the TV show with looney, Will the Penny be tested 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:20.720 for COVID nineteen and will social distancing be implemented in 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:24.919 any hashtag in an abundance of caution? Yeah, well, the 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:28.359 Penny has refused to get the vaccine and refuse to 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:32.680 do any of those countermeasures, So I'm not sure what's 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.159 going to happen, Big Lou. Yeah, that would be a 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:37.560 nightmare if they bring back the mask mandate, Danny, I 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:38.080 don't want. 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:40.879 Let's really go back to the COVID days. What if 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:42.120 the Penny starts kneeling? 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:46.960 Oh yeah, that would be Yeah, that would be a nightmare. 0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:49.159 Holy crap, Front page news. 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:54.200 You imagine on the TV show? You know? Oh God, Holrizing, Holarizing, 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:58.399 wild Man of Morgan Town back again. I guess he 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:00.199 liked the last time he sent an email. He's is 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:02.960 with college football getting going the NFL here as well, 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:06.320 very excited. But I'd like to ask you guys, do 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:11.560 you follow high school football? I follow it more closely 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:14.680 than college in the NFL. Also, I was wondering, did 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:18.080 you guys follow your high school teams when you were 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:21.159 in high school? And what was your school mascot? So 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:25.120 his mascot was the Indians Ooh, that's taboo, but maybe 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:28.640 not in Morgantown. So that's from wild Man Fantas show. 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:30.960 So yeah, I played football in high school, so I 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:34.480 clearly followed the high school team. When I was playing. 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:36.879 I went to a couple of high schools because I 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:39.600 had some issues, but I went to one that was 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:44.360 the Vakeros and then another one that was the Trojans, 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:48.920 So that was my high school mascot. Fun, I don't 0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:50.879 really follow high school football, to be honest with you. 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:53.359 I could lie and say I do, but I don't. 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:55.600 I mean, maybe occasionally end up in a high school 0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:59.080 football game, but that's not really my jam. And I 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:01.200 know in some parts of the country though, it's massive, 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:04.360 like it's a bigfor deal, Like you see these stadiums 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:08.840 in Texas and you're like, man, that's not a million dollar, 0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:11.840 multimillion dollars stadiums for a high school football teams. Isn't 0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:15.320 crazy to me? But that's my response. What about you, Danny. 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:18.920 The continuation school that I went to, I think our 0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:25.280 mascot was the Spliff smoke weed every day. Prior to that, 0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:28.120 before the high school I was kicked out of, Bulldog 0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:31.920 was our mascot. And the bulldog was on a leash. 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:35.439 Certain cheerleaders would walk him to the middle of the field, 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:38.119 and one of the games he started biting on the 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:44.399 ankles of one of the cheerleadersferf. 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:43.560 That seems like a reasonable thing. 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:46.240 Yeah, he was gnawing on her little skinny leg. 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:51.879 Yeah that's great. Well. Yeah, my continuation school did not 0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:56.080 actually have a mascot, so they said, you're such losers. 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:58.639 You don't even get a mask at You're such a waste. 0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:00.000 Nothing for you. 0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:03.800 By the way, across the street from me here there's 0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:06.840 a high school field. Go there sometimes to watch the 0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:10.640 kids play, and Agora High is where our middle kid 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:15.119 played football in the field last season and was great 0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:19.080 on special teams and defense. He laid some players out. 0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:22.480 He was like a missile. He would lift himself off 0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:26.520 the ground and rocket himself into the offensive player with 0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:27.120 the football. 0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:33.359 Steve Atwater the Broncos or Chuck Cecil of the Tennessee Oilers, 0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:38.040 Ronnie Lot like that kind of guy. Smash smash mouth. 0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:40.600 Was it was it his senior year last year or 0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:41.440 is he back? 0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:45.560 It was, yeah, it was it was his one year. 0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:49.520 He's a baseball player, but the football coaches convinced him 0:21:49.560 --> 0:21:51.920 to play his senior year for football. 0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:53.080 Oh cool. 0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:56.280 Yeah, so he had a great, great experience, and that 0:21:56.400 --> 0:21:59.720 was really my first experience going to every single high 0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:03.440 school football game, you know, as an adult, because unless 0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:05.480 you got some skin in the game, why would you 0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:07.000 be going over there unless you're a creep. 0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:11.520 Yeah. There's some people though, like you have to support, 0:22:11.600 --> 0:22:14.520 you know, the neighborhood and all that and the community. 0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:16.880 In other parts of the country, I guess where there's 0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:20.439 psycho about high school football, It's not exactly like that 0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:21.639 in California though. 0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:24.400 Now. The only time you get that vibe is if 0:22:24.480 --> 0:22:29.240 like Lebron's kids are playing basketball, or there's some former 0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:33.240 NFL players kid that happens to be playing high school. Yeah, 0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:35.120 then all of a sudden, there's a bunch of people 0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:37.239 that want to show up because it's a celebrity and 0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:42.920 the kid of a celebrity. Next up, well from let's 0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:47.919 go Marcus from Bruceville in Eddie, Texas. I'm not sure 0:22:49.359 --> 0:22:52.200 what the two of you guys think about each other, 0:22:52.480 --> 0:22:55.360 but he says, when you and Rob Parker Ben got 0:22:55.400 --> 0:22:57.960 together for an episode, we get to get it for 0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:01.359 an episode of anything.
