Speaker 1: Kubbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to the Clearinghouse
Speaker 2: of hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth
Speaker 2: Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 3: In the air everywhere, The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Speaker 3: Maler and Danny g Radio and a very happy Sunday
Speaker 3: to you.
Speaker 1: The NFL Weekend continues.
Speaker 3: We had games back on Thursday and Friday, and now
Speaker 3: here we are again with mostly a full card. A
Speaker 3: lot of the glamour teams have already played. There's only
Speaker 3: a couple of games that you really circle and said, boy,
Speaker 3: I want to watch that game today. I will be
Speaker 3: at a game. I'll beat the Raider Chargers game, which
Speaker 3: I don't necessarily want to be at, but I will.
Speaker 3: I will well, I'll be there for media purposes. I
Speaker 3: will be there Chargers and Raiders. I'll hopefully see Eddie
Speaker 3: if he's at that game. The Bills Steelers game, though,
Speaker 3: that's a big one, the Bills Steelers game.
Speaker 1: That's a big one.
Speaker 3: And then the other game that it's kind of got
Speaker 3: my interest that is somewhat acceptable, would be the Texans
Speaker 3: and the Colts. To see what happens in that game.
Speaker 3: Is the Texans have that great defense, the Colts starting
Speaker 3: to show signs of falling apart. So those are the
Speaker 3: two games that really stand out. And then Monday Night tomorrow,
Speaker 3: Giants and Patriots. You've got the Giants, who are terrible,
Speaker 3: but Jackson Dart supposed to.
Speaker 1: Play in that game. And the Patriots, we're not completely
Speaker 1: in on them. They've got ten.
Speaker 3: Wins and that's great. Let's see what they do against
Speaker 3: a bad Giants team.
Speaker 1: But enough of that.
Speaker 3: On this podcast today the fifth hour, you have me
Speaker 3: Ben Danny g Away this weekend for the holiday, but
Speaker 3: you have the menu of Doom and also the mail
Speaker 3: bag will start though with this. So sometimes you see
Speaker 3: it coming. Sometimes you see it coming and you walk
Speaker 3: through the door and that.
Speaker 1: Feeling hits you instantly. You shouldn't be here.
Speaker 3: You've ever been in a place where you're like, I
Speaker 3: really don't belong here.
Speaker 1: Why am I here?
Speaker 3: It's just something's off. Everyone else in the building is
Speaker 3: fluent in a language you never learned. They know the customs,
Speaker 3: they know which fork to use. Me Na, NA, I
Speaker 3: know how to make a pastrami sandwich at home. If
Speaker 3: you want me to make gringo tacos, I can do that.
Speaker 3: I can make the mouther arl Pete's I can do
Speaker 3: that as well. So this past weekend, my wife said, Hey,
Speaker 3: we're going going out to a dinner. This was not
Speaker 3: a suggestion, this was a decree, and through marriage, I
Speaker 3: was contractually obligated to attend this dinner. It was a
Speaker 3: birthday celebration for someone that she works with, a co worker,
Speaker 3: a bright, caring, lovely woman who is a social worker
Speaker 3: and drug counselor who's helped hundreds find sobriety. And she's
Speaker 3: done more good in the world than I've done, taking
Speaker 3: seventeen thousand calls from hollering James Marcel in Brooklyn and
Speaker 3: Blair in Maine.
Speaker 1: So just just has.
Speaker 3: And when it was her time to celebrate, we were
Speaker 3: celebrating her. She got to choose her restaurant, and she
Speaker 3: chose her favorite restaurant. And this restaurant a think of
Speaker 3: it like a white tablecloth seafood sanctuary with all kinds
Speaker 3: of snotty, elitist rules, rituals, the dress code that might
Speaker 3: as well have been written by the Queen of England
Speaker 3: might as well have been written by the Queen of England.
Speaker 3: So the kind of place that you don't normally find me.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 3: I'm not that kind of guy. I'd rather hang out
Speaker 3: at a truck stop. This is the kind of place
Speaker 3: where they give you a look, not a menu, and
Speaker 3: the look says, sir, you better behave yourself. It's like
Speaker 3: they stand there and make sure you put your napgun
Speaker 3: on your lap, like they know you're a neanderthal. You
Speaker 3: have to sit up with the proper posture. Your back's
Speaker 3: got to be straight, no jokes, no jokes until dessert.
Speaker 3: It's culinary church fashion. Well, food is the fashion. It's
Speaker 3: not fashion, it's food, and it forks with more attitude
Speaker 3: than your high school principle. And this is where the
Speaker 3: trouble begins. There are two kinds of people in this world,
Speaker 3: those that eat the fish and those who don't eat
Speaker 3: the fish. And I am firmly stationed in the second camp.
Speaker 3: I'm dug in. I got my helmet on, my trench mentality.
Speaker 3: I'm in the trenches. I do not eat fish, sam
Speaker 3: I am.
Speaker 1: I do not.
Speaker 3: I do not negotiate with fish. I do not bend
Speaker 3: the knee to the fish kingdom. I don't get with
Speaker 3: big fishy. I only despise two things about seafood.
Speaker 1: I've told people this for years.
Speaker 3: There's only two things I don't like about seafood, the
Speaker 3: smell and the texture. Other than that, I'm fine, I'm
Speaker 3: a fan other than that. And yet there I was
Speaker 3: a fish atheist in a seafood cathedral, the Tabernacle of Fish.
Speaker 3: Here I was, And then like.
Speaker 1: Que the Evil Star Wars music, the menu of doom.
Speaker 3: Now you go stand when I go to a restaurant
Speaker 3: that I don't normally go to.
Speaker 1: I'm a planner. I'm a person like many many of us.
Speaker 3: Maybe you're like me. I like to have things kind
Speaker 3: of mapped out a little bit. I certainly want to
Speaker 3: go to restaurants. I like to script out my meal,
Speaker 3: think about what I'm gonna eat, kind of get a
Speaker 3: little excited about.
Speaker 1: That, think about I only eat once a day.
Speaker 3: So I'm like, okay, I want to plan I want
Speaker 3: to plan this out, so I script my meals. It's
Speaker 3: like a military operation and all of that. Right, I
Speaker 3: need a road map. It's a game plan, a culinary
Speaker 3: game plan. Now, unfortunately the men you read like a
Speaker 3: hostage note written by Poseidon himself. I stopped counting any
Speaker 3: There about one hundred and seventy nine seafood dishes, lobster, razuto,
Speaker 3: pan seared halibit, Chilean sea bass, something called on the
Speaker 3: side caviare foam. I don't know what that is. It
Speaker 3: sounds expensive. Crab legs, now, this was the big thing.
Speaker 3: Crab legs, bigger than some national landmarks.
Speaker 1: That's what they're known for. And these people withou deep
Speaker 1: fry a wall.
Speaker 3: If given permission, they would literally take a walrus and
Speaker 3: just deep fright and people would eat it. They'd serve
Speaker 3: jellyfish on brioche buns and call it summer inspired coastal fusion.
Speaker 3: You just want to puke in my mouth. Now, there
Speaker 3: were a few steaks. If it's a high end seafood place,
Speaker 3: but they had a few steaks. Think of these like
Speaker 3: the lifeboats on the Titanic seafood vessel.
Speaker 1: I didn't want steak though.
Speaker 3: I didn't want and the reason I didn't want it
Speaker 3: you know, I'm being totally honest here. It would have
Speaker 3: been the wrong move because if you walk into a
Speaker 3: high end restaurant, this case of seafood place, but they
Speaker 3: also have expensive steaks, and you go in there and
Speaker 3: ask them for a steak, say, I'm gonna have the
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have the steak and the mashed potato.
Speaker 1: Okay, how would you like that? Cook? Well, I would
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 3: I would like that like the color of the tires
Speaker 3: on your car when I get it, and I can, I.
Speaker 1: Have you please burn the steak. That is a felony.
Speaker 3: That is a culinary felony, class a felony, maximum sentence felony.
Speaker 3: Gordon Ramsey would personally drop through the ceiling like a
Speaker 3: British swat agent and arrest you with a garnish of
Speaker 3: Parsley if you go into that place and say I
Speaker 3: want a steak and I want it all done now. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: I'm staring at the kiddy menu at this point. I
Speaker 3: don't like seafood, but I'm like, I gotta save myself here.
Speaker 3: I don't want to order the steak because I can't
Speaker 3: get it well done. All these food dishes look terrible.
Speaker 3: So then I'm like, okay, let me look at kiddy menu,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, they gotta have chicken fingers. Everyone's got
Speaker 3: chicken fingers on the kiddy menu. So I'm looking. I
Speaker 3: don't see I don't see chicken fingers. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 3: I know I don't like seafood. I'm willing to take
Speaker 3: one for the team, just so I don't get weird looks.
Speaker 3: I'll take these kids beer battered fish sticks. I'll get
Speaker 3: two orders crinkle cut fries, a gallon of tartar sauce.
Speaker 3: I'll pour a two gallons of vinegar. I'll make it
Speaker 3: rain vinegar from the heavens, and I won't even be
Speaker 3: able to taste the fish. So okay, like divine intervention. Unfortunately,
Speaker 3: no Bueno or in this case, no kiddy menu at all,
Speaker 3: no dice. They didn't have a kiddy menu. This is
Speaker 3: not for kids. This is a high end steak place.
Speaker 3: No Lifeline, nothing. So I finally landed on Terioki chicken,
Speaker 3: which I consider the witness protection program of entrees. The
Speaker 3: chef sent out half a chicken, breast coated and Tarioki syrup,
Speaker 3: sitting next to a thimble of rice. I feel like
Speaker 3: they counted each piece of rice and one lonely pineapple
Speaker 3: chunk that looked ashamed to be there, and that meal,
Speaker 3: that meal, half a chicken breast coated in syrup, a
Speaker 3: thimble symbol of thimble of rice rather and one lonely
Speaker 3: pineapple chunk that was forty bucks. Forty American dollars for
Speaker 3: a meal that I know I could make better blindfolded
Speaker 3: on a humid Tuesday with one spatula and one arm
Speaker 3: tied behind my back and a broken stove. And I
Speaker 3: could have made it better, but I didn't do it.
Speaker 1: And I did it.
Speaker 3: I showed up, I paid the bill, and everyone's plates
Speaker 3: looked like art. Okay, everyone's got these vibrant, colorful, obviously
Speaker 3: expensive plates of food, and the food I got looked
Speaker 3: like room service, but it was like it was room
Speaker 3: service at Guantanamo Bay.
Speaker 1: Forty dollars for half a chicken breast.
Speaker 3: Again, I mean, just I can go through the whole
Speaker 3: thing if you want, but I'm like, my god, it's
Speaker 3: absolutely crazy. And this wasn't even the worst part. The
Speaker 3: worst part. The worst part was watching everyone else at
Speaker 3: the table and they love their food.
Speaker 1: They're oh, this is like the greatest thing ever. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, this is better than sex. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I would disagree.
Speaker 3: There were people smiling and nodding like the full body reactions.
Speaker 3: There were a few people who closed their eyes. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: I'm gnawing on just disappointment, poultry disappointment. And I knew
Speaker 3: then I had lost the night. I had lost the night.
Speaker 3: And we live just miles from the mighty Pacific Ocean,
Speaker 3: the giant provider of seafood for the world. There are
Speaker 3: estimates that claim there are roughly three and a half
Speaker 3: trillion fish in the waters of the ocean trillion, three
Speaker 3: and a half trillion. The ocean is basically a swimming
Speaker 3: costco and over seventy percent of the world's fish catch
Speaker 3: come from the Pacific.
Speaker 1: Tens of thousands.
Speaker 3: Of species exist, with new ones being discovered all the time.
Speaker 3: And I want none of them on my plate. Not one, Sam,
Speaker 3: I am not one. Not because I hate fish, not
Speaker 3: because I'm trying to make a stand or be a troublemaker.
Speaker 1: I just can't.
Speaker 3: Again, I can't take the smell or the texture. Other
Speaker 3: than that, I'm okay, I'm okay with it. So when
Speaker 3: the night was over, we said our goodbyes from.
Speaker 4: This bougie bougie fish place, and everyone thanked the people
Speaker 4: at the restaurant there thinking the thanking the chef like.
Speaker 3: This person intured disease. And I walked out, knowing I
Speaker 3: played the wrong position. The entire evening, I was the
Speaker 3: guy trying to run the triple option offense at a
Speaker 3: seafood banquet. The out of place one was me, the
Speaker 3: land mammal in a room full of ocean devotees. Uh
Speaker 3: and listen, that was okay, because what I learned is simple.
Speaker 3: If the pride of your meal is a punt chunk,
Speaker 3: you did not eat dinner, you survived it.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: If that's the highlight, a little chunk of pineapple that
Speaker 3: was better than the chicken and the rice, you just
Speaker 3: happen to survive. And next time I will I will
Speaker 3: have to do the same thing because I was a guest.
Speaker 3: But if I picked the spot, there will at least
Speaker 3: be ketchup. There'll be chicken fingers on the kiddy menu,
Speaker 3: They'll be fries, they'll be all of that. There will not,
Speaker 3: under any circumstances if I'm picking, be crab legs, not
Speaker 3: gonna happen not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 3: Now, of that, let's get to Ohio Al. Can you
Speaker 3: get me in the mood for the mail bag? The
Speaker 3: great Ohio aw, It's bag all right, very good. These
Speaker 3: are actual questions by actual listeners. If you would like
Speaker 3: to send a question in care of Real fifth Hour
Speaker 3: at gmail dot com. That's all letters, no numbers, Real
Speaker 3: fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Put jokes in the headlines.
Speaker 3: Now sign your name and city if you want credit
Speaker 3: after every joke. Some of you don't do that, so
Speaker 3: all you have to do is submit the joke and
Speaker 3: then under each joke put your name in city. Otherwise
Speaker 3: you likely won't get much credit for writing said jokes.
Speaker 3: First up on the mail bag, thanks again to Ohio Al.
Speaker 3: And again it's Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com.
Speaker 3: Jokes in the headline. Reggie from Detroit says Ben and
Speaker 3: Danny G. Ben, you had a fill in boardop. You
Speaker 3: had a couple of different producers this week, and your
Speaker 3: radio show sounded as good as always. You've become like
Speaker 3: McDonald's Big Mac Ben consistently good. How are you able
Speaker 3: to put it off with all these filling people? That's
Speaker 3: from Reggie in Detroit, well, first of all, thank you,
Speaker 3: Reggie for comparing the radio show to a Big Mac.
Speaker 1: Does that mean we've got a lot of bread like
Speaker 1: the Big Mac?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: You get the bread piece in the middle, is at it? Yeah? Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe not.
Speaker 3: So to get to the point, Richie, yeah, I do.
Speaker 3: I do take pride that the show is about the same.
Speaker 3: It really is a blessing.
Speaker 1: And a curse though in many ways. And yeah, I've
Speaker 1: talked to this.
Speaker 3: I do about ninety eight percent of the work for
Speaker 3: the show ninety eight percent, and so it really is
Speaker 3: something that takes up my entire day and night.
Speaker 1: And it's it's.
Speaker 3: My baby, right I put when you put the baby
Speaker 3: to bed at night, get the show ready.
Speaker 1: But I do all that. I am the monologues. I
Speaker 1: get no help on that.
Speaker 3: You know, anything that is done on the show is
Speaker 3: you know, something that I've I've put together. So you know,
Speaker 3: it's a blessing that I have that kind of editorial control.
Speaker 3: It's also a curse because it would be a lot
Speaker 3: easier on me if I had some people that would
Speaker 3: help do some of that stuff. But it's just the
Speaker 3: way it is, you know what. I It is really odd, Reggie,
Speaker 3: because I fill in. I did stuff at Wei and Boston.
Speaker 3: A couple of years back. I filled in LA Radio,
Speaker 3: and it's much different When I fill in. There's a
Speaker 3: lot of like people that do that stuff. But when
Speaker 3: I'm on my own at nine on the Ben Malor Show,
Speaker 3: I just I.
Speaker 1: Just do everything.
Speaker 3: And so therefore, you know, people can go out and
Speaker 3: go comedy clubs and movies and do whatever they're doing
Speaker 3: during the day and they don't have to worry about
Speaker 3: the show. I'm the one worried about the show, so
Speaker 3: you know. But in terms of as you said, I'd
Speaker 3: like the Big Max. So it's it's kind of cool.
Speaker 1: In that regard that I don't really worry.
Speaker 3: You know, some people say, oh my god, you're what
Speaker 3: are you gonna do if this this person's off for
Speaker 3: that Parson.
Speaker 1: Like, I don't care.
Speaker 3: It doesn't really affect the quality of the product, and
Speaker 3: that's the most important thing is the quality of the product.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Reggie. I appreciate that. Steve from Ohio Rights
Speaker 3: in Steve's got to complaint. He does not say what
Speaker 3: part of Ohio.
Speaker 1: I'll just assume he's in Dayton.
Speaker 3: He says, Ben, why didn't you bash producer Bree on
Speaker 3: Friday's show doing a Thanksgiving side dish list on your show.
Speaker 1: That's Steve.
Speaker 3: So Steve, First of all, I am a big fan
Speaker 3: of Brie. She's got some work ethic to her. She
Speaker 3: works hard, she really does a good job, and so
Speaker 3: that was the first thing I dodn't want to crush her. Secondly,
Speaker 3: it's a tell that she doesn't listen. She used to listen,
Speaker 3: but she's busy. She got lot of stuff going on,
Speaker 3: so she's not a consumer. Otherwise she would have never
Speaker 3: brought that up.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: Anybody that has listened to me ranted all over the
Speaker 3: years about my disdain for lazy talk radio knows that
Speaker 3: that just drives me nuts. So yeah, Steve, if I
Speaker 3: could have just bashed her and just ripped her apart,
Speaker 3: I chose to take a higher plane on that one,
Speaker 3: and I did not. I was gonna do my whole
Speaker 3: rant about the holidays. I did not do that, and
Speaker 3: I didn't do it because alf can plane is all.
Speaker 1: You're gonna I know you're gonna do the rats about
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving radio, and I do what I hear, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: whatever I want to do it.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: Next up, Kwang from Ho Chi Minh Vietnam, says Benny
Speaker 3: the dishwasher. He says, what happened to Nuby Knight? What
Speaker 3: the heck happened to Nuby Knight? Well, Ben, let me
Speaker 3: tell you. Let me tell you, Benny, nothing happened to
Speaker 3: Newby Knight. We just haven't done it.
Speaker 1: We were supposed to do it. We forget other things
Speaker 1: pop up.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: And then also what happens.
Speaker 3: When we do Newby Knight? The regular callers don't know
Speaker 3: what to do. They're besides themselves. They start freaking out.
Speaker 1: They're like, oh my god, I don't know how to
Speaker 1: handle this. It's a big nightmare. Now.
Speaker 3: He also says Quang. Since Coop doesn't seem to have
Speaker 3: any more offensive lame jokes, why not incorporate Lorena.
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I'm willing to incorporate anyone that wants to
Speaker 3: be part of it, but you have to show some
Speaker 3: initiative and they if they want to be part of it.
Speaker 3: If Leno wants to be a part of it, I'm
Speaker 3: more than happy to include these people in it.
Speaker 1: But I'm not going to force you to do it.
Speaker 1: And you have to.
Speaker 3: Kind of want to be into it. And if you're
Speaker 3: not into it. It just doesn't It doesn't work. And
Speaker 3: he also says, could you interview your wife on the
Speaker 3: fifth hour? I think your listeners would love to hear
Speaker 3: how y'all met et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Well,
Speaker 3: we don't really do interviews right now, quayg. If we
Speaker 3: get back to that at some point. The holidays are
Speaker 3: upon us. We said Thanksgiving this past week, and Christmas
Speaker 3: is coming up here at the end of the month,
Speaker 3: obviously the end of the year, and so we'll start
Speaker 3: doing some of those guest type podcasts. I think as
Speaker 3: we get closer to the end of the year. They're
Speaker 3: evergreen podcast. Next up, Barry from South Carolina says Yo
Speaker 3: Yo Ma Benny and Danny g.
Speaker 1: He says, how long did you date.
Speaker 3: Your woman before you knew you were going to propose
Speaker 3: to her? You know right away that there's there's there's
Speaker 3: some interest there. You know right away that this has
Speaker 3: got a shot at being something more than just a
Speaker 3: run of the mill situation.
Speaker 1: But normally it's not your call. You know.
Speaker 3: I'd been on dates with people in the past, Barry,
Speaker 3: where I thought, well, that's that could be something, but
Speaker 3: they didn't agree, right, So it takes two two to tango,
Speaker 3: as they say, and you also have to you have
Speaker 3: to make sure the jigsaw puzzle pieces fit together and
Speaker 3: all that.
Speaker 1: So you know how long, I don't know exact time.
Speaker 1: It wasn't very long.
Speaker 3: I mean it was probably a couple months in and
Speaker 3: then then it was like, okay, then you're trying to
Speaker 3: get confirmation.
Speaker 1: You know how it is. You know, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm talking.
Speaker 3: About, Barry, You feel me on that. When are you
Speaker 3: leaving South Carolina? I thought you were leaving South Carolina.
Speaker 3: You're waiting for the housing market to go back up,
Speaker 3: the interest rates to go down more, Is that right?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay.
Speaker 3: Next up on the mailbag, Alf from the Good Old
Speaker 3: Write Sin. He says, it's that time of the year
Speaker 3: when we reflect on and give thanks. As each year
Speaker 3: turns and we get another year older, I find myself
Speaker 3: getting jaded and more impatient with people and the state
Speaker 3: of the world. Alf says, Now, as you read this,
Speaker 3: I'm guessing you've already produced your annual.
Speaker 1: Lazy radio podcast.
Speaker 3: As you've been baited all week by the listeners.
Speaker 1: I have not done that. I have not done that. Alf.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll do it during Christmas, he is.
Speaker 3: My question is to you, Ben, do you ever scream
Speaker 3: for a drop in your head during the show? As
Speaker 3: people come and go from the show, I find myself
Speaker 3: figuratively reaching for the drop button more and more as
Speaker 3: many classics have been lost in the FSR black hole.
Speaker 3: During the holiday season, I'm guessing there may be an
Speaker 3: Evergreen podcast or two. So I would love for Danny's
Speaker 3: Radio to unload his chamber of drops for another classic
Speaker 3: episode like he's done in the past. Well, that's a
Speaker 3: great idea, alf and we will talk.
Speaker 1: To Danny and we'll see if we can do that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the whole drop thing.
Speaker 3: I've gotten to the point in life where I used
Speaker 3: to get very upset when the people I worked with
Speaker 3: on the show, whoever.
Speaker 1: They may be. You know, I'm not going to name anybody, but.
Speaker 3: The people I work with when they're lazy and they
Speaker 3: don't do their job, it used to drive me nuts.
Speaker 1: I would get so upset, I say.
Speaker 3: Cause I'm just not wired that way. I just my
Speaker 3: goal is always to be perfect. I'm not perfect, no
Speaker 3: one's perfect. But as long as you I was taught,
Speaker 3: as long as you put the effort in and you mean, well,
Speaker 3: you're in good shape. I've worked with so many people
Speaker 3: over the years that are so lazy it is very frustrating.
Speaker 3: But I got to the point, as I've gotten older
Speaker 3: in life where I said, listen, I can't control that.
Speaker 3: I love what I do and I like to put
Speaker 3: the work into it, and I don't hire the people
Speaker 3: I work with. If people at the company don't value
Speaker 3: that and they hire people that are lazy and they
Speaker 3: that's on them.
Speaker 1: I can't control that.
Speaker 3: And the drop thing is just a product of I've
Speaker 3: encouraged people to play drops. They don't listen to me.
Speaker 3: I've encouraged people to put songs into the system so
Speaker 3: we can play it when they're not there. They don't
Speaker 3: listen to me, And it's just guy the boy wise,
Speaker 3: I don't even listen if they're that incompetent.
Speaker 1: I don't even bother. I just control what I can control.
Speaker 3: And it's funny you bring this up out because we
Speaker 3: read an email from Reggie in Detroit and Reggie.
Speaker 1: Was the show sounds the same.
Speaker 3: I was explaining why the show sounds the same whether
Speaker 3: you know people are gone or not. But yeah, Danny,
Speaker 3: as far as the point, Alf will let Danny know
Speaker 3: we want at least one podcast over Christmas or New
Speaker 3: Year's which is just great drops, and I think that's
Speaker 3: the way to go. Next up, Scott from Florida writes
Speaker 3: in he says, Ben and Danny, there have been a
Speaker 3: ton of there's been a ton.
Speaker 1: Of dishwasher talk the past few weeks. By the way,
Speaker 1: that term sounds like.
Speaker 3: Something a church youth group leader or your father would
Speaker 3: use as a euphanism for something naughty back in the
Speaker 3: nineteen nineties. Scott says, this past weekend, my wife was
Speaker 3: cleaning something in the sink and asked me, when was
Speaker 3: the last time you cleaned this? You clean it every
Speaker 3: few months, right, And I just looked at her and said,
Speaker 3: what is that?
Speaker 1: She informed me.
Speaker 3: Scott says it was the dishwasher filter that sits in
Speaker 3: the middle of the electric dishwasher. Yeah, all the time,
Speaker 3: I answered to Shirley, nodding my head. So, Scott says,
Speaker 3: Ben and Danny, I had no clue that dishwashers had
Speaker 3: a filter in the dead center in the I mean,
Speaker 3: it makes sense, but it never crossed my mind. Certainly
Speaker 3: I have never bent over pulled out the dish rack,
Speaker 3: reached back and down.
Speaker 1: And pulled out the filter.
Speaker 3: In my forty six years on this round Earth, did
Speaker 3: either of you realize this existed? And do you clean
Speaker 3: it out every few months? That's from Scott, So Scott,
Speaker 3: I do know of the filter. I've told the story before.
Speaker 3: The reason I am the dishwasher at the house is
Speaker 3: years ago, my son and the wife would do the dishes,
Speaker 3: and the dishes I'd look at the bottom of the
Speaker 3: dishwasher and it would be covered with like spaghetti macaroni.
Speaker 3: There'd be little pieces of I don't even know what,
Speaker 3: some vegetable or something like that at the very bottom,
Speaker 3: and it was like, WHOA, what is that? And so
Speaker 3: they would just put the dishes and covered in food.
Speaker 3: Assuming the dishwasher it would just take care of itself.
Speaker 3: And of course it caused a lot of problems. And
Speaker 3: that's why I'm the dishwasher. So I do know there's
Speaker 3: a filter there. I gotta tell you though, I have
Speaker 3: not changed the filter.
Speaker 1: Since that incident. Since that incident with the dishwasher, and
Speaker 1: we're in pretty good shape.
Speaker 3: And here's why I do the dishes ninety nine percent
Speaker 3: of the time and I clean every dish by hand.
Speaker 3: I hand wash every dish. The dishwasher is just the
Speaker 3: final stage. The dishwasher is just the closing part of
Speaker 3: the deal. You do most of it by hand, and
Speaker 3: then you kill all the germs, for sure, all the bacteria.
Speaker 1: You kill it with the dishwater. That's how I do it.
Speaker 3: Thank you Scott for that pretty good email there from
Speaker 3: Scott in Florida. Ryan from Shrewsbury, mass Writes, and he says,
Speaker 3: since you will be reading this after Thanksgiving, I hope
Speaker 3: you both had a good Thanksgiving. Ryan says, question this
Speaker 3: week is about the good old Malar Mobile. Says, one
Speaker 3: of my hobbies is cars and motorcycles. I was curious,
Speaker 3: as a car guy, what kind of car is the Malormobile?
Speaker 3: Sorry if you answered this before, but I'm curious as
Speaker 3: to what car it is. Also, what are your guys
Speaker 3: dream dream car? I think I might go with a
Speaker 3: sixty seven Chevelle. Thanks always, boys. Sorry Danny about your raiders.
Speaker 3: There you go making Shuldar look like Tom Brady. Well
Speaker 3: let's hold off on that. Ryan should didn't play that well.
Speaker 3: There was like a bubble screen that went seventy yards.
Speaker 3: Because the raiders don't know how to tackle. He didn't
Speaker 3: play particularly well, and that's the Raiders are so bad, Ryan,
Speaker 3: that the Browns won. Anyway, as far as the car,
Speaker 3: the car I drive into work is a Ford Edge
Speaker 3: with a lot of miles on it, a lot of
Speaker 3: miles on it, and I've had that for years. Does
Speaker 3: not get great gas mileage. I drive a long way
Speaker 3: from the north Woods. But that's the car that I
Speaker 3: drive mostly, the car that I would love. I just
Speaker 3: love comfortable cars. I've told the story before, Ryan, that
Speaker 3: the most comfortable car.
Speaker 1: That I've ever been in.
Speaker 3: We were covering the World Series in Cleveland years ago
Speaker 3: and they had a Lincoln Continental and I sat down.
Speaker 3: It was the rental. It was the only rental they
Speaker 3: had left. So we got this rental car and it
Speaker 3: was like sitting on a sofa. I was driving around
Speaker 3: Cleveland and it was like I was sitting on a
Speaker 3: sofa and it was like the most comfortable seat. And
Speaker 3: I was like this, you know, sitting in traffic wouldn't
Speaker 3: be that bad in this thing. That'd be pretty good.
Speaker 3: Be great, man, all right? Noah rights in. Noah in
Speaker 3: Austin says happy Sunday. Ben and Danny Ope, things are
Speaker 3: well in your world. I have a question, he said,
Speaker 3: one for Danny, but Danny's not here, so we'll just
Speaker 3: do the one for.
Speaker 1: Me from Noah.
Speaker 3: He says, Ben, since your bowel movements have been brought
Speaker 3: up more than once on this podcast, what is a
Speaker 3: meal that you absolutely love but know for a fact
Speaker 3: it will give you a little toilet trouble later on?
Speaker 1: It's from Noah in Beautiful Austin, Texas.
Speaker 3: Well, Noah, it is not really the food I've noticed
Speaker 3: over the years. It's the fasting. I lost my gallbladder
Speaker 3: years ago. I had my gallbladder chopped out of me.
Speaker 3: It malfunctioned, and so I've determined since I fast, I
Speaker 3: do inter minute fasting. If I go two days fasting
Speaker 3: and then eat a heavy meal like a pastrami sandwich.
Speaker 1: Or a double cheeseburger or something like.
Speaker 3: That, if that happens, I got problems, all right, I
Speaker 3: got major problems. I really only have about thirty minutes
Speaker 3: after the time I finish eating before it's.
Speaker 1: Bombs away, whether I'm ready for it or not.
Speaker 3: So it's not so much what I eat as if
Speaker 3: I'm fasting a lot, it causes me more problems.
Speaker 1: It causes me more problems. It does. That's just the
Speaker 1: way it is. Let's see what else do we have
Speaker 1: page down here.
Speaker 3: There's some people with questions about Black Friday that took
Speaker 3: place over the weekend. There's a magician in Missouri. This
Speaker 3: guy Craig says, a magician in Missouri had an idea
Speaker 3: to implant a computer chip into his hand and then
Speaker 3: do some fun magic tricks with it. Unfortunately, Pierce, he
Speaker 3: forgot the password and the chip has been lost. He
Speaker 3: lost the password to the chip embedded inside his body.
Speaker 3: So that does not seem like a a great magic trick.
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to lose that. All right, we'll get
Speaker 1: out on that.
Speaker 3: I'll be back on the radio tonight and all the
Speaker 3: way through, all the way through the week, no days off.
Speaker 3: And remember though, Benny versus the Pennies available right now
Speaker 3: on YouTube Benny Vspenny. We got off to the four
Speaker 3: and oh start this week. We won all the games
Speaker 3: on Thanksgiving, and then if you won those and rolled
Speaker 3: your money over into Friday, we told you to take
Speaker 3: the Chicago Bears and they won as well. So we're
Speaker 3: off to a really good start this weekend, which means
Speaker 3: either this is gonna be one of the big dominating
Speaker 3: weekends or an absolute fricking disaster.
