He's the last remnants 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.520 of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.520 treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:17.480 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:18.400 Wow. 0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:22.320 The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special. 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:30.640 The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now. 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:35.279 In the air eywhere thank you for finding and listening 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:40.080 and doing all that. The Fifth Hour, as a new 0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:42.680 weekend is upon us. And of course that means that 0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:47.040 Danny Gee's back. He's back. Well, you knew he was 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:50.320 already back, but he's back on the podcast after a 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:53.880 rare and appropriate weekend away where I got to hang 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:56.720 out with the vegan for a few days. But Danny 0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:58.840 back from why. I'm sure you have some amazing stories 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:02.880 to tell for the weekend about your travels to Hawaii. 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:06.200 We'll hear all about what happened and whatnot as we 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:10.119 go through the weekend. It is Friday. That's a big weekend, 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:13.640 big holiday weekend. If you enjoy Saint Patrick's Day which 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:18.840 is on Sunday, Today's the fifteenth day of March, which 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:22.520 I am told is everything you think is wrong day. 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.000 That that is one of the dopey holidays today everything 0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:29.039 you think is wrong, which is a good day to 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:32.040 remember that you are not that smart. 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.920 Prefer National Potato Chip Day, which was yesterday. 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:41.200 Yeah, that's not a bad day. But the problem with 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.039 potato chips is you cannot stop eating them. It is 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:48.760 impossible to stop eating them. And I can eat the 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:52.240 whole bag. Yeah, properly chip, I just eat the whole thing. 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.480 So now, what's say you ones with ridges or the 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:56.760 old school potato chip? 0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:59.880 Yeah, I like the ruffles with the ridges I enjoy. 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:03.800 But there's not really a bad potato chip. It's hard 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.440 to find. And now I even like the flavored chips. 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:09.240 I don't love the barbecue. You know what's really good 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:10.680 Those crunchy kettle chips. 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:12.760 Oh those are really good. 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:17.480 Those are amazing. And I'll even eat what's the one 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:21.239 with the dip flavor, the sour cream and onion. I'll 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:21.560 eat that. 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:26.000 Oh, okay, a chip form? Probably the cool ranch dorito 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:27.400 is one of your favorites too. 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:31.320 I'm going to ed that out of the podcast. Anyone 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.320 will hear that, But no, you know, a taco flavored 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.760 dorito solid. The ranch is the devil's blood is, you know, 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:41.239 But the taco flavor one not bad. That's kind of 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.959 an old school type taste. 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.480 As far as yeah, yesterday, I was thinking about the 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.520 classic tortilla chip too, when they come hot to your 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:51.960 table at a Mexican restaurant. 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.960 Oh yeah, no. And you know my rule, Danny, You've 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.160 known me a long time. My rule, I have a 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:03.000 steadfast rule. When I go to a Mexican restaurant, there 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.040 better be a basket of chips and sauce on the table. 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.120 When I go to an Italian restaurant, there better be 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:12.080 a basket of bread, and if not, they charge extra 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:12.400 for that. 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.280 I'll not go back. I'm going to start living by 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:20.640 your mantra. Because we had a bad experience at one 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:25.560 quote unquote Mexican restaurant. We only went to one in Honolulu, 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.760 and they charged for the chips, they charged for the 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.959 salsa even and right then and there we should have 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.600 walked out. The meal was horrible. I'll tell you about 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.280 it later on the weekend, Ben, But had we lived 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:40.200 by your words, we could have avoided disaster. 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.960 Yeah, you build in if you're in there, and we've 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:45.840 got listeners that are in the restaurant business, and I've 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:47.800 had some people that have been pen pals of mine 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:51.040 through the show that work in restaurants. And you build 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:55.040 in the cost and because like, there are people like 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:56.640 us that will eat a lot of chips, but there's 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:58.800 a lot of people do not, And so you just 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.080 gotta gott a fact to that. D But if you 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:04.560 don't have chips and sauce at a Mexican restaurant, you stink. 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.880 And you don't charge nickel and diamond. You know, come on, 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:11.880 you overcharge for the food as it is. I understand 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:15.600 you have to make money, but it's ridiculous. So this 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:20.560 being Friday and the first podcast since the Greatest Night 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:24.279 in Overnight sports radio, we have a tradition on the 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:29.680 fifth hour, the first pod after the Benny Awards, what 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:34.479 we do is go in depth post game covers. Nobody 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.280 else has this. You know how much we spend for this, 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:40.240 Danny g the amount of revenue that iHeart spends to 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:44.680 have exclusive postgame rights to the Bennies. This is an 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:48.800 insane thing and it's ours. We have it. No one 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.280 else has it, Danny, It's on this podcast. We are 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:55.360 the mouthpiece to the post game of the Bennies. This 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.719 is an amazing thing. It's like doing the postgame show 0:04:57.760 --> 0:04:58.640 for the Super Bowl. 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:01.839 You're not kidding. Later this morning, I'm meeting up with 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.880 the guys to get on a Southwest flight to go 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:09.120 do a live broadcast. And we don't have travel expenses 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:12.560 for this little remote. They said, all of the travel 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:15.520 budget is used up to run the Bennies. 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:20.440 Yeah, it's just all the producers, the makeup people, the 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:24.680 wardrobe people. It's it's just a crazy, exciting. 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:26.120 One coops botox. 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.359 So let me if you missed the Bennies, it is 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:33.719 available the podcast, but I'll refresh your memory. And we're 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:35.400 not going to spend too much time on this, Danny, 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.680 but we we will. You know, it's a big deal. 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:40.400 It's a big fan night. I had people sending me 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.479 who won Benny's. I had a couple of people, I 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.320 had one, well one I didn't have. I had one 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:48.720 person send me an email saying how important it was 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.760 to them, and it was like really, really emotional. And 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:54.120 then of course I ranted on the air and said, oh, 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:56.359 it's just a stupid bit on a radio show. And 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.000 then I got an email bag. Well, you didn't have 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:04.719 to say that. You know, I can't win. I can't wind. 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:08.680 I can't win. But the categories, the nominees, and we'll 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:10.680 kind of go over this because we gave out who 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:16.560 won very controversial ending to the Benny Awards, very controversial, 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.680 the biggest award. But we'll start with the Rookie Caller 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.280 of the Year, and if you remember, that went to 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:28.839 Tony in the Bay. Tony has really mastered the art 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:33.200 of the witty sarcasm. I think I like about Tony's 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.320 calls is they don't usually didn't take that long, and 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:38.839 he normally says something right on the line. He's like 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.560 towing the line of what you can get away with 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:44.760 and what you can't get away with. And occasionally he 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.440 won't even tow the line. He'll just say a dirty 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.640 word and get dumped, you know, just like that. But 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:51.720 I enjoyed. I actually laugh at a lot of the 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.600 stuff Tony says on the ear. I find him very enjoyable. 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.560 So I was happy he won, but it was really 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:00.800 close for Rookie Caller of the Year. Always accused me, 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:02.400 and you'll have the same people call and you have 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.360 no new calls. Well, this category proves there is new talent. 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:08.360 There's always new talent out there that called the show, 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:10.360 that find the show, even with me not giving out 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:15.120 the number most nights, so Tony one but heavy metal 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:18.440 Kevin from Maine gave him a run for his money, 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:23.600 and my guy Eddie and Charlotte the thumbs up thumbs down. Dude. 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:26.080 I like his calls a lot. I wish he would 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.560 call more, but those those three were like neck and 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.960 neck and neck for Rookie Call of the Year. We 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.440 had the game show contests in the year, and that 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:40.400 was Uncle Moe as he took down Justin and Cincinnati. 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:43.840 I think he won by five percent of the vote, 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:45.840 which is a fair amount. We had thousands of votes 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:49.240 and whatnot on the different the different platforms, So that 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.600 went to Uncle Moe. Who's I learned this week. It's 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:56.760 kind of weird, Danny, Uncle Mo and Eddie are text 0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:01.000 buddies that they text each other. I thought was interesting, 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:04.880 kind of odd to me because my experience with listeners 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.640 having my number is they don't stop calling, like Doc 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.040 Mike has had my number for fifteen years or that's 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:11.960 probably longer than that now And. 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:15.080 Yeah, and he has the hotline number as well, so 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.440 it's a double not anymore though. 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:19.600 Because we changed the hotline right, we moved to the 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:22.000 new studio, so he does not have the new hotline number, 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:25.760 which drives him nuts and he why can't I get 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:30.840 the number? What's over that? We had the lame joke 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.120 contributor to the year. We have so many great joke right, 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:37.480 I had lame jokes just earlier today in the overnight 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:41.640 and that went that was that was a route or 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:47.160 route as surfer Todd the comedian. He got over forty 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:50.840 percent of the popular vote, so good job by him. 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:54.240 Chip and Maine though, did he did very well. Chip 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.080 and Maine finished in second, and he was in second 0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:59.360 by a wide margin. So those are the top two 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.440 in that category. You're listening to our exclusive coverage of 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:07.200 the Benny's postgame. It is made possible by Danny ges 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.480 depleted bank account from his trip to Hawaii. We have 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:16.320 asked Ben category the top asked Ben questions. This was 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:21.800 very close. This was very close between It went to 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:27.120 ferg Dog Fergie one. He edged out the late night 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:29.880 drug tester and Alf the Alien opiner, who are neck 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:34.040 and neck right behind him. So he won, and then 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.600 I love my favorite part of this category is Rory, 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.120 who on X he used his full name, this guy Rory, 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:43.360 and he's like he realized that that didn't really work 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:45.600 for branding purposes. You've got to have more of a 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:49.680 memorable name, and so for branding purposes, he's screw that 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:53.199 and he's now going by King Rory or Rory the 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:57.120 King or something like that. So ferg Dog was very 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.840 happy with his win, as he should be. Best crew filling, 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.360 very big category. Used to be in this category, Danny, 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:05.360 but not anymore because you have you're on a different show. 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:10.640 We had Brian no Moncey Balanos Finley and Mark Ramsey 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:14.400 and Mark fils In pretty much worked more than I 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:15.480 was Sam the last year. 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.720 Dude, he's got such a huge personality. I don't see 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:19.559 how he could lose. 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:25.640 Yeah, he's just bubbling up. I know this. You know 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.160 certain things that have been true in the Mallard militia 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:32.520 over the years, and if there is a a woman 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:37.880 on the show, generally they win every contest. Have you 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:38.520 you know what I'm saying? 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.720 And are you saying that you have a bunch of 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:43.800 thirsty dudes listening. 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:46.640 I'm just saying, there's been a pattern. I've been doing 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:50.400 this for a long time and the entire time these 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.880 these these horn dogs, they hear a female voice and 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:57.480 they vote. Vote. Mat Manzi won by She got almost 0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:00.120 forty five percent of the vote. 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:01.840 That doesn't surprise me. 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.640 Yeah, I was forty five percent. Everyone was voting for 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.160 the Drop of the Year. Now, this was a very 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:13.439 competitive category on the Bennies, and we could have done 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:17.960 many more than the final that we're getting. We had four. 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.520 If you're fill in board operators don't even know what 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.160 drops to play the past few months. 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:27.480 Yeah, it's we have really gone downhill. Like I was, Sam, 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:29.440 I love saying, but he didn't, you know, he kind 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:31.520 of stopped putting stuff in and he didn't play him. 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:35.679 And you were really good at the drops, and Roberto 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:38.400 was really good at the drops. We need to, you know, 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:40.000 get back to that. I'd like to get back there, 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:44.320 but uh we The final four were Marcel and Brooklyn. 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:48.680 I'm a Crackhead, which is was by far my favorite, 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.200 Jet who fled I'm on the Ben Mallor radio show 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:57.439 dumb Ass. Then we had Dad Gummett burping on the 0:11:57.679 --> 0:11:59.200 on the show of the drop. 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.520 Wow, low standards there. 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.280 Marcel singing wheels on the bus go round and round, 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:07.960 wheels on the bus go around around, and this went 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.560 to Jed, who fled. I did not approve of that. 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.000 I did not think that was the drop of the year. 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:16.760 I think that was bad job by the constituents. I 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:18.440 don't think they did a good job on that. Danny 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:19.800 I would have gone with I'm a crackhead. 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:21.080 Yeah. 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.559 I think Jed would have finished in second place there 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.120 if we didn't have a Russian judge. 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:29.520 Yeah, it's not right. And the separation, I mean it 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:33.320 was close. There was about seventeen I think seventeen votes 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:36.600 separated Jed who won, and Marcel. But that was one 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:38.560 of the funny saying Marcel, I know he's got some 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:41.280 issues and what he loves calling the show and the 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:45.520 night he said he was a Seattle ambassador and we're like, 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:49.040 are you a fan of the Cracket And he's like yeah, yeah, 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:51.680 like he said yes or something. So I was like, oh, yeah, 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:56.040 you know what their fans are called, the crackheads. And 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:58.000 he's like, yes, I'm a crackhead. 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.880 It was a really quick bend before you move on 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.440 to the next category. While we're on Drops, You'll be 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:10.840 happy to hear that I spent not one, but two 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:14.600 hours with Lorena this past week getting her the right 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:18.160 songs to play on Friday to continue that tradition, and 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:21.520 a list of the best Ben Mallard drops, classic and 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:24.040 new to play when she takes over. 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.680 Well, that's good and bad, but I would also I 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:29.440 thank you for that. I would like to point out 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.280 that I have had freedom the last couple months because 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.040 I was say I'm just stop putting stuff in. So 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:39.040 I will say I have just said ridiculous stuff that 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.240 would have I know, would have come back to haunt 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:45.839 me if DROPS. So I had the freedom, the editorial 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:49.800 freedom Danny to just say the most ridiculous things because 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:51.960 I knew they would not come back too. 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.719 Well, she doesn't have a happy trigger finger, so I 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:58.199 don't think she's going to over inundate you with DROPS, 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:01.520 which is good. I told her less is more quality 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:05.160 over quantity. I think she gets it. So yeah, it'll 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:08.960 be a nice little comeback and pushback on you hogging 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:10.320 the whole network to yourself. 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.640 Well I am, I'm excited. I think she'll be really 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:15.800 good for the show. Sure, we'll talk more about her 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:18.040 as we go for it, maybe we'll get her on 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:23.360 the podcast and all that. But yeah, the properly time 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:26.840 drop is much more effective. It's kind of like it's 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:31.760 like the profanity on satellite radio. If you it's rare 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:36.800 and appropriate, it has more of a lethal nature to it. 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:38.400 And the same thing with drops. If you plably drops 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:41.400 every five seconds, it's like, all right, you know, can't well. 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:45.880 And there are some that are tradition and like our 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:48.840 thing and almost like a bit you know where, like 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:51.200 when I just said a Russian judge right after that 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:55.280 on the podcast, you hear racist, and the listeners love that. 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.360 They laughed their ass off, And I did that on 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:01.960 your live show, and you know, it's been a tradition now, 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:05.440 so that's things like that have to continue for the 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:08.000 rest of the time you are on FSR. 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.320 And Iowa Sam did not use the racist job, so 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:15.680 I think the inappropriate playing what's things that aren't racist? 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:18.360 When you played is hilarious, Like yeah, it's just the 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:21.680 perfect thing, and everyone laughs at that. I don't know 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.120 anyone that doesn't think that's funny. And if you don't 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:26.400 think that's funny, you probably got to stick up your wazoos. 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:31.040 So hey, all right, the female caller of the Year, 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:34.480 and we had Tammy and Montana on this one, Andrea 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:39.800 the astrology Lady, spin Cycle, Regina who hosted the Malor 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.480 Meet and Greet at the Mermaid in Minnesota last year, 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:46.280 Pam and Seattle who won the Malard Palooza talent show. 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:51.760 And this was this was a route or root as Andrea. 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:56.200 Very controversial. Andrea, she got a ton of votes. She 0:15:56.440 --> 0:16:01.200 won by a pretty wide margin. Here wow over Tammy 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:06.840 and Montana who finished I don't know, she finished in 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.000 second place. I'm sorry spin Cycle re Gina finished in 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.720 second place. I thought it was Tammy, but it was Regina's. 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:15.160 Should have been Tammy. I was gonna say about Andrea. 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:17.440 I don't know if she does fifteen minute hits on 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:19.800 your live show, but whenever I'm listening to your show, 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:21.680 it feels like fifteen minutes. 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:28.360 Well, it balances out Jed who fled because Jed he 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:33.800 does about seventeen minutes in ninety seconds. And so by 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.360 the way, Andrew will get about, you know, about four 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:39.480 minutes of content, but it'll seem like it'll seem like 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:43.800 a good twenty minutes. The beer Drinking Brian Worst Call 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:45.720 of the Year. I said on the air, very controversial 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:49.200 take that this is the most competitive category on the 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:52.720 Bennys and the Beer Drinking Brian Worst Call of the Year. 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:57.200 And this was overwhelming, the highest percentage of the vote 0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:05.000 for any winner, and it was ridiculous. This guy got 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:09.000 fifty five percent over fifty five point two percent of 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:13.200 the popular vote. Poppy in San Diego is so far 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:18.840 ahead of all the other bad callers it is ridonculous. Now, 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:22.320 I would like to congratulate Dad Gummett, who finished in 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:26.840 second by a wide margin. So he versed keg Drinking 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:29.600 Steve was in there, and then Andrew the blind guy 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.800 from Bakersfield was far back. Now, somebody sent me an 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:35.800 email and said, then the winner of the Worst Caller 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:37.240 of the Year should be the person that gets the 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:41.040 fewest votes, and that not the one that gets the most. 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:45.639 I don't think that's kind of Poppy, who won the 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:50.600 award while being suspended for about half the year. Danny, 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:53.720 we suspended him for about half the year and he 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:56.760 still won the Beer Drinking Brian Memorial Worst Caller of 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:58.520 the Year award. So that's very impressive work. 0:17:58.960 --> 0:17:59.720 It's appropriate. 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:05.200 Yeah, the last category, the most controversial category, and there's 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:07.679 no way to sugarcoat this. We had controversy. We had 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:10.760 absolute controversy. This has never happened. We've done the Benny 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:15.480 Awards for a long time, goes way back, way back, 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:17.600 and this is the first time this has ever happened. 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:21.080 So the Genie and Medford Caller of the Year, greatest 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:25.720 honor in overnight talk radio. We had a tie. We 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:27.040 had a tie. 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:29.840 What there's no ties in the Bennies. 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:32.320 Oh, there are tie. We had the same number of 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:37.600 votes exactly for Jed who fled, and Marcella and Brooklyn 0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:41.080 they both got twenty three point nine percent of the 0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:42.680 popular vote. 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:44.800 You should shootout with real ammunition. 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:50.199 Marcell would would point the gun up in the air probably, 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:55.639 but died. I mean and Laron Maine. What we didn't 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:57.360 talk about, and this is what you only get here 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:00.720 on the fifth hour Benny's postgame show, is that Blair 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:04.520 in Maine we almost had a three way tie. Like 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.680 Blair in Maine was only a few votes away from 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:10.920 having a three way tie, which we would have had 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:12.880 to do something. If we can't have a three way tie, 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:14.800 you shouldn't have it. I shouldn't have a tie either. 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:19.200 And we talked to the Blue Ribbon Panel Danny next 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:23.000 year and we are considering a rules change so this 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:25.040 will never happen again, that this will be the only 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:27.840 time that Benny's have a tie for the Caller of 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:30.879 the Year, that in future Benny Awards we will have 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:36.040 a runoff vote to decide. Okay, So, but we didn't 0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:39.480 have any rules in place. We had what we had 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:42.679 and so congratulations to everyone that was nominated. Andrea the 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:46.000 astrology Lady was in there, Andre from the Commonwealth and 0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:49.440 Emmett the Blind Seahawk fan, he was in there as well, 0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:56.159 the Big Three, Jed who fled, and Marcel who tied, 0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:59.359 and then also Whoopee Pie Blair who finished just a 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:03.520 little bit behind. And we're talking about having some new categories. 0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:06.440 I had a couple of people send me email Danny 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:09.719 and say, hey, what about a fifth hour contributor category? 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:11.000 How about that? 0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:13.439 That's a great Abut that's a really good idea. 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:16.960 This is this is like an extra arm from the 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:19.280 podcast or from the radio show. Right, this is just 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:21.960 the The whole theory is that you've listen to the 0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:23.000 radio show during the week. 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:25.639 Yeah, maybe it should be like a fifth Hour mail 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:26.359 Bag award. 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:29.159 Yeah, yeah, the mail that's a great idea. So we 0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:33.480 will toss that into the Bennies for next year.
