1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:01,480
Speaker 1: Kabooms.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 2: of the old republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow, the Clearinghouse of

7
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 2: Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour

8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: with Ben Maller starts right now.

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: In the a everywhere, even on New Year's Eve, as

10
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: we say bye bye to twenty twenty three. It is

11
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler and Danny g Radio.

12
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: Because five nights a week for me on the overnight,

13
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: five days a week for Danny with his buddy's Cavino

14
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: and Rich clearly not enough. So we unite together form

15
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: Voltron on the weekends. And this is our third pod

16
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: of the weekend. We had the podcast which was very

17
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: sporty back on Friday, very sporty podcast on Friday, Danny

18
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: a lot.

19
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of been our new thing, Like Fridays

20
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 3: is sports related, and the rest of the weekend we

21
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 3: play grab ass.

22
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, we just know o nuts. It is the end

23
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty three, and I don't know that I

24
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 1: need to do my normal rant that I do not make.

25
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: I do not make New Year's resolutions.

26
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 4: Neither do I. That stuff is so stupid.

27
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, I look at it like as Bill Belichick back

28
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: when he was a respected member of the coaching fraternity.

29
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: Belichick would say, like the halftime adjustment thing, and other

30
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 1: people have said Peyton Manning has said this as well.

31
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: I don't really I'm not very fond of Peyton Manning,

32
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: but the halftime adjustments is bullshoy. It's nonsense, right. It's

33
00:01:55,080 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: like you go to halftime, you take a whiz, maybe

34
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: you put a new jersey on, and you have some

35
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: orange slices, some gatorade, and you run back out in

36
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 1: the field. You're not making halftime adjustments. And as Belichick

37
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: likes to say, if you see a problem in the

38
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: middle of the first quarter, you fix the problem. You

39
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: don't wait till halftime, you know, So, all right, we're

40
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: gonna play the entire rest of the first quarter, the

41
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: entire second quarter, but then at halftime we're going to

42
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: make adjustments. It's one of those things that in sports

43
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: just gets repeated and people people just mindlessly repeat it,

44
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: like right.

45
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 3: Like stay away from the gym. How many weeks in

46
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 3: ben do most people last when they go there?

47
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: This week today's obviously New Year's Eve, so tomorrow the

48
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: gyms are closed, but starting January second, the gym will

49
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: be back, and then by February first, it'll be half empty.

50
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: It's just the way it goes. But it's it's a

51
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: halftime adjustment. It's one of those things Peyton Manning famously

52
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,119
Speaker 1: said a couple of years ago. It's just a myth.

53
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: It's an absolute myth. And I put it in that

54
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: same category as like momentum, right, I don't need to

55
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: get started on that ran again, there is no such

56
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: thing as momentum in sports. I do not believe in that.

57
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: But I don't need to go down that road. But anyway,

58
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: I just want to. I don't do the New Year's Eve.

59
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 4: It feels like it's for suckers.

60
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 3: And also, you know, not to rain on anybody's New

61
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 3: Year's parade, but going out on New Year's Eve is

62
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 3: kind of a sucker's bet also because you way overpay

63
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 3: for everything, and usually it's elbow to elbow with other people,

64
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: and it's hard to have a fun time like that

65
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 3: with spending so much money for you know, lots of

66
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 3: germs around you.

67
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: I read this week and it's on the internet, So

68
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: who knows if it's true or not that it is

69
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: the most expensive night to go out in America, that

70
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: people spend the most money all year on just as

71
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: a night out on New Year's Eve, Because as you said,

72
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: it's price gouging. It's like it's like getting a hotel

73
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: room after a hurricane or getting gasoline after a flood.

74
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 4: You know, it's like a fifteen dollars water bottle.

75
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. I saw somebody sent me a link

76
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: to some hotel in Miami where a guy ordered a

77
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: cup of coffee and a couple of waters, and it

78
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: was like sixty seven dollars. What the hell's in the water?

79
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 4: It was in the coffee, vodka in that water.

80
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, And we don't do the list thing, you know,

81
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: I don't know believe in the list. But as far as

82
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: Big Ben's Big Board, much different, much different, right, as

83
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: you know, right, we're not moving mountains here, we're not

84
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: shifting the balance of power. We're just doing a little podcast.

85
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: But as far as the year, looking back at the

86
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: things that stood out, is there any any one thing,

87
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: Like the Rangers winning the World Series was pretty wonky

88
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: in baseball. The Dodgers meekly going out and just sucker.

89
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 4: But then they redeemed themselves getting Otani.

90
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: Oh, they did win the offseason championship, so the balance

91
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: of power. They continue to have the greatest roster in baseball,

92
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: and they are certainly traveling down the Dodgers the yellow

93
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: brick road.

94
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 3: For me, the highlight of twenty twenty three was the

95
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 3: firing of one Josh McDaniels.

96
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: I had a feeling, you're gonna say that, Yeah, I buy.

97
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 3: Josh hello twenty twenty four because Antonio Pierce imagined Ben

98
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 3: had he been hired or at least interim hired, three

99
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 3: games earlier, the Raiders wouldn't be trying to squeak into

100
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 3: the playoffs. I think AP would have had them already

101
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 3: squarely lined up for the wild card.

102
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's well, you know he's done well, but that's

103
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: also a miss. I want to be no gloomy gus here, Danny.

104
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: But they did also lose a three nothing game to

105
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: the Vikings.

106
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 3: Competitive game with both defenses. Both offenses sucked.

107
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: Compared to Josh McDaniels, he is a mastermind, Antonio.

108
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 4: Piers, Yes, you said it.

109
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 3: And how long was I going to have to sit

110
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 3: there on Sundays and look at the camera go on

111
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 3: Josh McDaniel's constipated looking face.

112
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 4: It was hard. It was hard sledding.

113
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 3: Raider fans wanted that guy gone a year before that,

114
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 3: and he had barely been there then, I mean didn't

115
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 3: want him hired in the first place.

116
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 4: So when that happened, man, it was like an early Christmas.

117
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 3: And then Antonio Pierce doing what he did and the

118
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 3: Raiders scoring sixty three points was another Christmas. And then

119
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 3: the final Christmas gift was trouncing the Chiefs, the defense

120
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 3: scoring two touchdowns in seven secs and watching Kelsey throw

121
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 3: his helmet, Patrick Mahomes crying to his O line on

122
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 3: the sideline. Then it was a beautiful thing because the

123
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 3: Chiefs have rubbed it in with their victories against the

124
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 3: Raiders often and so to see those merry go round

125
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 3: Chiefs lose to the Raiders on Christmas Day, that was

126
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 3: a beautiful twenty twenty three happening.

127
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: And Antonio Peers is in the Dan Campbell, I guess

128
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: I don't think quilt's the right word but because like

129
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,119
Speaker 1: when I remember Antonio Pierce took over and the Raiders,

130
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: remember they won the first game. I think they played

131
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: the Giants. If I remember the Jets in one of

132
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: the New York teams and they won, and they were

133
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: smoking cigars in the locker room.

134
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 4: That's right, Yeah, Max Crosby, Yeah yeah.

135
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 3: I had a team attendant go out and get cigars

136
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 3: and put one in each locker prior to the game

137
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 3: that confident that ap would lead them to a victory

138
00:07:58,560 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 3: over for the Giants.

139
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the kind of stuff. If it doesn't work out,

140
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, this guy's a clown. Dan Campbell, people

141
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: goofed on him because the kneecap thing with the Lions

142
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: one of the visions, So that's something, it's not nothing.

143
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: And the other things that stand out on Big Ben's

144
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: big board the downfall, the trap door opening up for

145
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: the Patriots as they have fallen in to an over

146
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: abundance of bad bacteria. They've played like smelly farts all year.

147
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: My Rams, who were supposed to be a total dumpster

148
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: fire with a roster filled with a couple of star players,

149
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: surrounded by flotsam and jetsam, a bunch of bits and

150
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: odd ends and handy downs and second hand players mostly useless.

151
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: And yet the Rams are for the moment. We'll see

152
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: what happens today. But the Rams at the moment we're talking,

153
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: they put the Giants today, so they should win that game.

154
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: But you'd think with Tommy Cutt it's benched for Tyrod Taylor.

155
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 1: But either way, the Rams have found a couple of

156
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 1: ball plays. And so I expected this to be a

157
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: miserable team that was just going to suck, and they

158
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: don't suck like they're not. You know, they played pretty

159
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: well the last couple of months. Last month and a half,

160
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: they played very well.

161
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 4: So you can ram it into the New Year all night.

162
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: You can ram it all night, and many people apparently will.

163
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: I'm told here on New Year's Eve you can ram

164
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: it all k me and ram it all night. But

165
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: that's a different topic of conversation. We have the mail bag.

166
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: You want to get into that right now? Are you

167
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: ready for the mail bag?

168
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's go. Last one of the year.

169
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: It's bag. I said, we will not do another mail

170
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 1: bag on this show all year till next week and

171
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: then we'll do a new week. But anyway, here yeah,

172
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: first one off, Freigster writes in from Parts Unknown, didn't

173
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: not say where he's from. He says, Ben and Danny,

174
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: how long does how low? How low? How low does

175
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: the temperature have to go in Socow for you to

176
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: put on a sweater or a coat? He says, thank

177
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: you for doing the show here over the holidays. It

178
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: is much appreciated. Well, thank you, Craigster. So we have

179
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: this thin California blood Danny, right, is that what we

180
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: have here because we're used to the not it's not

181
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: like Miami weather, but it's you know, usually it's around

182
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: seventy five degrees give or take. It's hotter in the summer,

183
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: closer to ninety five degrees most days, but mostly it's

184
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: in the seventies.

185
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 3: I was only really put on big jackets when it's

186
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 3: raining a lot. When it's cold and raining, that's when

187
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 3: we'll take out a real jacket because I don't know

188
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 3: about you, but really I have like wind breakers and

189
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 3: really thin jackets.

190
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

191
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: I have a couple of winter coats because of my

192
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: travels and over the years where I've had to go

193
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: to the East Coast in the winter, but that I

194
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: don't they're like in the back of a closet. You know,

195
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: it's like they're buried, like I'd have to search for

196
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: them to find them.

197
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 4: It's that kind of And it's what it gets to

198
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 4: be around what forty.

199
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say in anything under forty five. And

200
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: it does actually get down into the thirties occasionally at night,

201
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: depending on the January February, it'll get get pretty cold.

202
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: So it was very foggy this week in the middle

203
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: of the night. Most people probably didn't notice it because

204
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: they were sleeping, but I was driving and.

205
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 3: It was Oh I drove in that to the Dan

206
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 3: Patrick show. There there was a little bit of pea

207
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 3: soup fog going on.

208
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not the greatest to drive it. That's a

209
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: little tough. That's a little or thank you craigster Mike

210
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: in North Hollerton, right, since that has a happy Kwanza,

211
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: Ben and Dan and g and the guys. I hope

212
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: Santa paid you both a visit back on Christmas, because

213
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: the Big Guy sure came through for me this year.

214
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: Well I'm g I'm glad the Big Guy too. Curious

215
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: Is there any point is there?

216
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 4: He gave me a baby?

217
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: Yeah? Hello, Hello? Is there any point in going, well,

218
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: he didn't have the baby, but my wife I would

219
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: hope not. Is there any point that in going all

220
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: out on presents for a baby's first Christmas? Or should

221
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: you wait until they're a little older? Can a zero

222
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: equal even appreciate presence?

223
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 3: I like this, Ben, because there are experts who point

224
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 3: out that baby's mind start collecting happy or sad memories immediately.

225
00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 3: So this whole myth of oh, you should wait until

226
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 3: till the kid is old enough to remember this before

227
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 3: you do this, that or the other, that's a bunch

228
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 3: of bullshit. You're supposed to put a baby, an infant,

229
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 3: or a toddler in really good, happy situations and travels

230
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 3: as soon as you can. You know, you hear that

231
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 3: a lot like I'm not going to do this or

232
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 3: that until the kid is old enough to remember.

233
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: So I have read a little bit about this, and

234
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: as I understand it, I think you're referencing what many

235
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: of us have referenced, the Sigmund Freud term childhood amnesia. Yeah, like,

236
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: and I don't remember things before I think my first

237
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: memory was I was around five or six. I don't

238
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: really remember anything before that. But it's one of those

239
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 1: weird things where it's like your brain resets. For some

240
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: people it might be at three years old. For some

241
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: people it might be like me five or six, or

242
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: maybe it's even later than that. But all that crap

243
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: gets filed away, even it's in your subconscience. Yes, yeah, yeah,

244
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: so you're the.

245
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 3: Earliest file folder in your brain, even though you can't

246
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 3: go back and necessarily access it when you want to.

247
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 3: For me, it's crazy because I have memories of things

248
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 3: that happened when I was like two, two and a

249
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 3: half years old, and my mom is like, how in

250
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 3: the world do you remember that? And I tell my

251
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 3: older brother things were like, I'm like, you don't remember this.

252
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 3: You don't remember that. He's like, how the hell do

253
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 3: you remember that? He's like you his first memories are

254
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 3: from like preschool and kindergarten.

255
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I don't remember anything before that. I've

256
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: seen photos, so I kind of like I could.

257
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 4: Throw I was there.

258
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I obviously was there, but I don't really remember.

259
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: So so those infant ears.

260
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 3: Well, also, when I was two, my mom stabbed my dad,

261
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 3: so it was hard to forget traumatic incidents like that.

262
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: It's quite the Thanksgiving dinner. Mike also says, Ben, I

263
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: hear Brian Only's choice for best man has been narrowed

264
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: down to you and me. Good luck and may the

265
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: best man get chosen. Well, I think it's going to

266
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: be you, Fergy. Somebody sent me a message that I

267
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: thought that was an April fool's.

268
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 3: Joke that not Fergie, did you mean Corgy. I'm sure

269
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 3: the Corgi is going to be the best man.

270
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what a wedding that will be. What

271
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: a wedding that is.

272

00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,600

Speaker 1: know that he played all of the fifties, though I

316
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:30,600

Speaker 3: one to my better half in there was. I gave

347
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 3: her a gift that made her cry. That's when you

348
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 3: know you're doing good. There's this jewelry company. You upload

349

Speaker 3: a digital photo and they cut it out with sterling silver.

350
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 3: Looks just like the picture. So I sent in a

351
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 3: picture of baby CoA and the jewelry came back to me.

352
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 3: It's dependent on a necklace in it's Coa's face.

353
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,960

356
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: We appreciate that. Alf from the Witness Protection Program right

357
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: since says Ben, do you have a good relationship with

358
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: these suits over there at NBC and are they very litigious?

359
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,719
Speaker 1: The reason I ask is that my wife just got

360
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: me the greatest gift ever, second only to the birthday

361
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: cameo that my daughter got me from a radio gas

362
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: bag a couple of years ago.

363
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 4: Howard stern On cameo, I dare you.

364
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,479
Speaker 1: I'm afraid that someone in the knoll over there at

365
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: NBC may have my address now because of said gift

366
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: and might want to put the kebash on the whole

367
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: ALF the Alien Opiner bit due to legal reasons. If

368
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: you don't hear from me again, you'll know why. Peace

369
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: and love possibly the Alien Opiner formerly known as ALF.

370
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: It's funny you bring that up out because I have

371
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: been wandering the hallways of the NBC studios there the

372
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: place we do Betty versus the Penny from there, the

373
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 1: West Coast Hub, and I've yet to find an ALF poster.

374
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: I was trying to find one because I thought I'll

375
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: take a picture for at He Loves Out, and I've

376
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: not found. What I found there's like a Cheers poster.

377
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: All these old NBA NBC shows from back in the

378
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: day is Howard Stern on cameo. God, No, there's no

379
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: way he doesn't. He barely shows up to his satellite show.

380
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 4: Why would he do?

381
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: No chance?

382
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, how much would he charge for a cameo if

383
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 4: he was on there?

384
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 2: You know who?

385
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: I bet you who's on there is like the whack

386
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: pack guys from the Stern Show are on there.

387
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 4: They're the ones that like, yeah, the rest of the crew, yeah.

388
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: And the old guys like I bet Stuttering John's on

389
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: there probably. I bet you can get a stuttering John.

390
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good call. Yeah.

391
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: Or I bet you even Baba Booie's not on there,

392
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: Gary Dellabody, he's made a ton of money.

393
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 4: I bet you he's It was a good deal. I

394
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 4: saw you on there. Yours is reasonably priced, and I

395
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 4: know you put your all your effort into it.

396
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: I got in trouble. I got in trouble with Cameo

397
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 1: because I was doing like mini monologues. I was doing

398
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: like five or six seven minute monologues, and the people

399
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: of Cameo sent me a message like, what the what

400
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: the fuck are you doing? These are supposed to be

401
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: one minute video messages. We don't have the bandwidth for

402
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: you to do ten.

403
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 4: Minutes for one lap dances and.

404
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: I was like, I felt guilty because like people were paying,

405
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm like, I feel bad these people paying.

406
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: I want to get when their money's worth. And then yeah,

407
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: I am such a radio loser. Barry from South Carolina

408
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: rights in. He says, yo yo Ma, Benny and Danny

409
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: G can you tell me the origins? He says, how

410
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: you guys came up with the term golden ticket for

411
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: a prize on your games where you've you've you've asked

412
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: the pigage? Because I believe there was a guy and

413
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: I don't remember his name. I think he works with

414
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: Colvino and rich Now and does a weekend podcast. It's

415
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: pretty popular that may or may not have been the

416
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: one that originated that, but I forget, you know, my

417
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: memory is not that good at this point, Danny.

418
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 3: So the way it came about was one night off

419
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 3: the air, I was talking to Real Talk and he

420
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 3: told me, you know what would be cool? He said, uh,

421
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 3: if there was like a way to get to the

422
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 3: front of the line because I'm sick of being on hold.

423
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 3: And I thought about it, and I'm like, man, that's

424
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 3: a good idea, maybe we can do like an incentive

425
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 3: program to get to the front of the line. And

426
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 3: I thought about, you know, Willie Wanka and the Golden Ticket,

427
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 3: and I was like, that is the ticket.

428
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

429
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 3: I remember typing it out, a one page explanation of

430
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 3: how it would work, and I remember giving it to

431
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 3: you and Coop, and Coop was kind of like, yeah, whatever,

432
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 3: and you thought it was a good idea. And I

433
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 3: found that little jingle from the movie and the rest

434
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 3: is history.

435
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: No, I've never go yeah, well most things I give

436
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: coopies like whatever, you know, but that's just you know,

437
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: just how he's why. So it's yeah, so Barry Danny

438
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 1: g is the one that came up with the Golden Ticket,

439
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: which we still use today. This next one did they

440
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: did not sign their name. I did not sign their name.

441
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: So from unknown lists automous, yes, anonymous, right, since it

442
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: is Ben and Danny G. I would I have been slacking?

443
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: Oh this, I think there's our buddy from Wisconsin. I

444
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: think Nick and Wisconscious. I have been slacking the last

445
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: few months. So I think twenty twenty four I will

446
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: be I will have to do better. So I have

447
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: a would you rather would you rather have your tooth

448
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: accidentally knocked out or you your fingernail accidentally ripped off.

449
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 4: Oh, well, you've had a toenail ripped off.

450
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: I have had multiple toenails ripped off. I have had

451
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 1: a tooth randomly disappear. I gotta tell you, as bad

452
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: as it as bad as it feels to lose a

453
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: fingernail or a toenail, I would rather have that than

454
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: the teeth.

455
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, because anybody who's had toothaches or emergencies with their

456
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 3: teeth knows that pain because it.

457
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,199
Speaker 4: Is part of your nervous system.

458
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: Oh, it's terrible. I had emergency medical I had emergency

459
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: medical surgery.

460
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 4: Was it this year?

461
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: I guess was last year? And yeah, I remember it

462
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: was a nightmare. And I've lost toenails and it hurts

463
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: like an m effort. But they will go back, and

464
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: there's stuff you can put on it so it doesn't.

465
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 4: Hurt that much like a lizard's tail.

466
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, the tooth thing, I'm told they don't grow back.

467
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,439

Speaker 1: Yeah, that photo is almost one hundred years olds from

499
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: the nineteen early nineteen thirties. I read somewhere that it

500
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: was for like a marketing campaign or something like that,

501
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: that that's they were posing. Yeah, yeah, I did know that.

502
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 4: I thought it was catching them randomly while they were

503
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 4: on their lunch break.

504
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,760

00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,199
Speaker 1: it was not. They didn't just go.

506
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,000
