Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of
Speaker 1: the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto Cutter the same as the rich
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House of Hot
Speaker 1: takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with
Speaker 1: Ben Maller starts right now, nine in the air everywhere
Speaker 1: back at it on a Sunday. Addition to the Fifth
Speaker 1: Hour with Ben Maller, you have found Us and Danny
Speaker 1: g Radio the Man, the Myth, the Legend. As we
Speaker 1: go deep into the mail bag on the podcast, and
Speaker 1: if you missed the Saturday podcast, not one, not too
Speaker 1: but three quality reviews. We read those at the end
Speaker 1: of the podcast. You gotta listen all the way through
Speaker 1: the podcast. So it was it was pretty be cool.
Speaker 1: And again, if you want to help us out, that's
Speaker 1: that would that would help a lot. And I'm excited
Speaker 1: about the mail bag. I I kind of went through
Speaker 1: some of the messages, some of the questions Danny, but
Speaker 1: I did that and I think I've forgotten most of them,
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be completely new to me. Nice and
Speaker 1: I don't go on Facebook very often because I don't
Speaker 1: want to see family and friends bitching about things. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I really don't know what any of these questions are,
Speaker 1: so we're not We're not waste any time. We'll get
Speaker 1: right into it. We wanna go as we usually run
Speaker 1: out of time. We have a limited amount a finite
Speaker 1: amount of time, as we all do in life. So
Speaker 1: let's get into it. Here we go. We have to
Speaker 1: start properly with our friend Ohio, w great Ohio. The
Speaker 1: lead into the mail bag and right to the questions
Speaker 1: we go, Yes, we do. First one comes from Kevin
Speaker 1: in Kansas. These are actual questions sent in by actual
Speaker 1: listeners to the Ben Mallory radio show and the Fifth
Speaker 1: Hour podcast, an exclusive fraternity here on the weekends. You
Speaker 1: can contact me several ways. You can send questions in
Speaker 1: real Fifth Hour at gmail dot com. If you want
Speaker 1: to send your question in privately, that's real F I
Speaker 1: F T h our at gmail dot com. And you
Speaker 1: can also go on our Facebook page, where a lot
Speaker 1: of people post. Some weeks more than others, depending on
Speaker 1: the week. This week is a little slow. We got
Speaker 1: more people on the email than we did on the
Speaker 1: Facebook page. But Ben Maller's show and on Tuesday normally
Speaker 1: in the morning, I will post a link and you
Speaker 1: can post right there. You're your question. So that Kevin
Speaker 1: and Kansas wrote in he says, dear Ben, I cut
Speaker 1: your gremlin glitch the other night. As a person who
Speaker 1: likes to know how the sausage is made, can you
Speaker 1: tell us what it's like at the main studio and
Speaker 1: your place when you start trying to fix things, especially
Speaker 1: with the pressure of millions of live listeners waiting. Thanks,
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, guys. That's Kevin. So yeah, Kevin, I'll
Speaker 1: get into that a little bit. So we did have
Speaker 1: a gremlin attack, the first time that's happened. I've been
Speaker 1: in this new studio for almost six months now and
Speaker 1: we've had really good quality audio. But every once in
Speaker 1: a while, just to remind you that you're not in
Speaker 1: Kansas anymore, Toto, that you you get the gremlins attack.
Speaker 1: So the other night I was doing the show and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden everything stopped. I hear side. So
Speaker 1: on my end, Kevin, what I hear is I normally
Speaker 1: hear some ambient kind of a buzz or something, or
Speaker 1: sound effects or music or something but in the background,
Speaker 1: depending on what's being played in the air. But I'm
Speaker 1: talking and like, you know, all of a sudden, like
Speaker 1: I hear nothing, I fell asleep. What I do is
Speaker 1: I immediately turned. I look at my equipment, make sure
Speaker 1: I didn't screw anything up. I'm like, is every button,
Speaker 1: every knob where it's supposed to be, did anything become
Speaker 1: plugged or any of that stuff? Uh? And then I,
Speaker 1: I uh, usually will text Coop or I'll call the
Speaker 1: the warm line. I'll call the warm line to talk
Speaker 1: to Roberto and it's an inside line and try to
Speaker 1: figure out what the plan is. But what happened this
Speaker 1: week was I knew right away the line went down
Speaker 1: the internet special broadcast thing that we used to do
Speaker 1: the show on, and it it was just down. So
Speaker 1: at that point, and I'll let Danny handle the engineering
Speaker 1: part of it, because you've been on that side of it,
Speaker 1: introducing the producing and all that, but I on on
Speaker 1: my end. I just make sure I didn't screw up,
Speaker 1: covering my ass. And then once I established that it
Speaker 1: was the connection, the broadcast line that gone down, I'm
Speaker 1: at the mercy of the broadcast line. I just have
Speaker 1: to make the most of it. So I'll usually call
Speaker 1: in and goof around with Eddie on the phone, and
Speaker 1: because that's all I can really do, I have no
Speaker 1: other way of communicating. So I know at the studio
Speaker 1: there's a a lot of running around, right Danny, and
Speaker 1: trying to figure out also what's going on where the
Speaker 1: issue is. First of all, please tell me Brian Finley
Speaker 1: was filling in for Eddie the other night when this happened.
Speaker 1: Oh God, no, no, it was Eddie. It was Eddie.
Speaker 1: And I think about the great thing about Eddie Danny
Speaker 1: is I used to when I when I first got
Speaker 1: a radio, we had technically issues doing I did a
Speaker 1: lot of remotes and I got read the Riot Act
Speaker 1: by one of my program directors. If there's a mistake,
Speaker 1: you don't mention it on the air, I used to
Speaker 1: yell at and God love Eddie, Eddie. Uh the line
Speaker 1: goes down for the next two days. Eddie's bringing up
Speaker 1: the fact that we had technical difficulties just in case,
Speaker 1: just in case. The other list of hundreds of thousands
Speaker 1: of people that didn't hear about it know about it,
Speaker 1: which I always get a kick out of it. But
Speaker 1: so it was so walk me through this, Danny. You're
Speaker 1: you're in the mother ship. You're in the main headquarters
Speaker 1: there where all the bells and whistles are, and what happened. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll hear the same thing, kind of like a digital
Speaker 1: skip sound, and then you usually the host just cuts
Speaker 1: off drops gone, it's gone, connection, gone, dead air. Roberto
Speaker 1: gets big eyes, turns and looks at me. I turn
Speaker 1: and look at Eddie, and we're like scrambling. At this point,
Speaker 1: I'm actually on the live air. We have a delay system,
Speaker 1: so we could hit the dump button to get rid
Speaker 1: of the few seconds of dead air that just happened.
Speaker 1: But now it's my call in the producer's seat. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say, Okay, let's turn on Eddie's mike. Eddie, you
Speaker 1: gotta cover while we get Ben reconnected. Not a fun
Speaker 1: situation to be in, whatsoever, because you don't know is
Speaker 1: it the Internet? Is it yours? Is it ours? To
Speaker 1: the boxes that we use to connect to each other
Speaker 1: need to be reset. Um. And now besides needing to
Speaker 1: figure out that part of it, you also need to
Speaker 1: entertain the list ners that are already there. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: so that really is the balancing act. And back before
Speaker 1: we used what's called a comrex connection. We had I
Speaker 1: SDN connections which were more of a dial up situation. Well,
Speaker 1: it got to be a regular thing where we just
Speaker 1: joked about it, kind of like in your old studio,
Speaker 1: where it would happen not every week, but happened enough
Speaker 1: to where the listeners were in on it and new, Okay,
Speaker 1: he's having studio problems. Here comes the fireworks, and and
Speaker 1: we just kind of laughed, and you know, we're lighthearted
Speaker 1: about it. But I'm with you, dude. I was taught
Speaker 1: by a really strict program director. If there's a mistake
Speaker 1: on the air, you do not draw attention to send mistake.
Speaker 1: We were like Trill Sergeant's back when we were kids.
Speaker 1: In radio, you do not tell the listeners that there's
Speaker 1: a problem. You just keep pushing forward. So in our
Speaker 1: minds we're thinking that because that's how we were trained
Speaker 1: to kids. But radio nowadays, because so many people have
Speaker 1: recording studios in their garage, in their bedrooms, even now,
Speaker 1: when there's technical issues, it's handled in more of a
Speaker 1: lighthearted manner nowadays. Yeah, it is true, but I do
Speaker 1: have PTSD from that programmer. When I hear Eddie going
Speaker 1: on and on about oh Mallard dropped again, you know,
Speaker 1: and well yeah, and then there's a whole another thing
Speaker 1: where we have to explain what happened to our head
Speaker 1: engineer at the network. And Carriss is a nice guy,
Speaker 1: but he's not the most easy going guy radio engineer.
Speaker 1: He's got a lot to deal with. I would have
Speaker 1: to wake him up and tell him what was going on,
Speaker 1: because if he wasn't in the loop, I would get
Speaker 1: more in trouble due to that than anything else that
Speaker 1: went on on either side of these connections and these
Speaker 1: satellite link ups or internet connections. There were times where
Speaker 1: I would fix the problem. We kept it very entertaining
Speaker 1: on the air, and we're giving each other high fives
Speaker 1: in the studio and I leave and I go home,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, man, what a marathon that shift was.
Speaker 1: But it all worked out in the end. And then
Speaker 1: I would get an email, Danny, why did you not
Speaker 1: let me know what happened? You should have looped me
Speaker 1: in on this, And I'm gonna write you up. I
Speaker 1: got written up Ben working on your show more than
Speaker 1: I've ever gotten written up on job in my life.
Speaker 1: I was written up three times management while I was
Speaker 1: producing your program. I apologize there. I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: responsible for that, and all three times it was because
Speaker 1: I didn't inform for people. But in my mind, that's
Speaker 1: ratting us out, like I'm not the kind of person
Speaker 1: to broadcast it. So as long as we fixed the issue,
Speaker 1: I didn't want to broadcast it to anybody. No, I
Speaker 1: hear you. But you know, one of the things and
Speaker 1: the curses and working for the machine is there are
Speaker 1: people monitoring everything that goes out over the air. We
Speaker 1: have what's it called the Master Control where they're monitoring
Speaker 1: everything up yeah, the brain upstairs, the brain like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's not just a Fox Sports radio but all the
Speaker 1: premier networks programming. There's a bunch of guys in there
Speaker 1: that are keeping you know, on women too, and the
Speaker 1: dudes and women, just keeping track of everything and making
Speaker 1: sure that all the affiliates are taken care of and
Speaker 1: all see the knock the knock, knock it off. It
Speaker 1: looks like an air traffic control center. There's all these
Speaker 1: grids of the world and it shows where all the
Speaker 1: affiliates are and it's very interesting to look at because
Speaker 1: they're like in a fish bowl. And if we go
Speaker 1: off the air, they get notified, then an email goes
Speaker 1: out to all of the executives and all the bosses. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and everyone's like, wait a minute. Here was Well, that
Speaker 1: was a very detailed answer. I hope you appreciated that, Kevin.
Speaker 1: We spent about ten minutes roughly answering that which is
Speaker 1: good people love the behind the curtain stuff. All right,
Speaker 1: well we'll keep it going here. All right, come back,
Speaker 1: it's sign from now call all right, Helen and Stu
Speaker 1: from Palmetto Bay, Florida. Very calm, nice loving people now
Speaker 1: that you are here, Danny says, Ben and Danny gee,

Speaker 1: different reasons. Who is the biggest Oh, here we go,

Speaker 1: And who is the biggest fame whore on the Ben
Speaker 1: Mallor show, Tammy in Montana? Who will U? Well? Hook

Speaker 1: from the Mother Peace School of Healing Arts much love,
Speaker 1: Helen and still I was just saying, how nice they
Speaker 1: were being, Danny and how how could you do me
Speaker 1: like that? Helen? How dare you? And still Man, those
Speaker 1: are fighting words that I cleaned that up a little bit.
Speaker 1: I cleaned that up a little bit. Danny g I mean, man,
Speaker 1: oh man, oh man. Uh no, all listen, people are
Speaker 1: part of the show. You know how this works, Helen
Speaker 1: and stud You guys don't call into the show. But
Speaker 1: uh Tammy is a big part of the show. She
Speaker 1: helps out a lot of people who beer drinking Brian.
Speaker 1: She's done a great job kind of communicating as a liaison,
Speaker 1: even though she's not officially part of the show. She's
Speaker 1: communicated with beer dring and Bryant's family and all that.
Speaker 1: And uh Andrew is a fine woman. She means very well.
Speaker 1: She loves what she does, and it's you know, attention.
Speaker 1: Occasionally I'm intrigued by it. So, man, Helen, you know
Speaker 1: you're coming out there this this Helen's coming out like
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson back in the eighties, you know, fight everybody.
Speaker 1: Come on, we're all a bunch of clowns here. What
Speaker 1: are we doing here? It's there, It's a radio show.
Speaker 1: It's so so simple, all right, all right. Next up,
Speaker 1: Pierre from Springfield, Mass says, Ben, tails of your frugality
Speaker 1: are well known. I know that you're hesitant to break
Speaker 1: off multiple C notes on a pricey outdoor pizza of it.
Speaker 1: My question to you both would be, do you guys
Speaker 1: have air fryers? If so, I've found TikTok to be
Speaker 1: a haven of fast food air friar hacks in general
Speaker 1: overall cooking time servers. So I'm not on TikTok, but
Speaker 1: i do have an air fryer. I do love the
Speaker 1: air frier. The air fryer is great, wonderful. I don't
Speaker 1: know who invented it, but great job by whoever came
Speaker 1: up with that. And but I'm not really a TikTok guy.
Speaker 1: I'm not. Are you on TikTok, Danny? Are you You're not? No,
Speaker 1: not a TikToker. And my Tinderoni also has an air fryer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he uses it on Sundays for football, which I love.
Speaker 1: Sometimes during the week to make things a little healthier.
Speaker 1: She'll use that. Some great dishes come out of that machine.
Speaker 1: And I've used it a few times. This is my
Speaker 1: first time using an air fryer. Take some of that
Speaker 1: grease away. I like it. I like it. Yeah. One
Speaker 1: one dish I really like using it for are the
Speaker 1: Takedo's ben from Costco. Oh. Yeah, absolutely, that's a go to.
Speaker 1: Oh it's great and they but any of that's like
Speaker 1: frozen food that you could get at Costco or wal
Speaker 1: Mart or wherever. It is just just wonderful that they
Speaker 1: have those restaurant quality chicken strips you can get a
Speaker 1: Costco and you put those in there and you don't
Speaker 1: have to go pay twenty five bucks for a meal
Speaker 1: at a restaurant. You can get it for still expensive,
Speaker 1: but it's a lot cheaper than I've been eating at
Speaker 1: the restaurant. Pierre, send me some of those hacks, buddy,
Speaker 1: I know you you know how to get ahold of me,
Speaker 1: And send me some of those hacks. All I'll play
Speaker 1: around with that. Why not? All right? Next up, he'll Billy,
Speaker 1: Mike writes in and he'll Billy works at the UPS
Speaker 1: Hub in Virginia. And he says, Hey, Ben, like most,
Speaker 1: I despise tanking in the NFL and wanted to know
Speaker 1: what you thought about this fix. So this is a
Speaker 1: sporting question, he says. You take the bottom five teams
Speaker 1: and flip the rewards to give the fifth team from
Speaker 1: the bottom the best pick, the fourth the worst pick. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, the fourth the worst next, and so on.
Speaker 1: So the worst team does not get the number one
Speaker 1: pick anymore, and even the pond scum of the NFL
Speaker 1: have to try and win some games. Of course, tweak
Speaker 1: it if need be, he says, but teams would have
Speaker 1: more incentive to win. What do you think that's from
Speaker 1: hill Billy Mike. It's not the worst idea, but I
Speaker 1: think they should just I'd get rid of the entire draft.
Speaker 1: I hate the draft. I'm down on the draft. I'm
Speaker 1: glad the Rams don't have any draft picks. Uh. The
Speaker 1: the way that they do it, they'll never do it here.
Speaker 1: We talked about this all the time is relegation. They
Speaker 1: do that in Europe and they're never gonna do that here.
Speaker 1: But that's the way to solve the problem that have
Speaker 1: legitimate punishment if your team blows for a few years
Speaker 1: in a row and just do something about it. And
Speaker 1: another thing that I pointed this out on the radio
Speaker 1: show Danny. One of the things I like a lot
Speaker 1: about the Clippers this year. They don't have a good
Speaker 1: team because Kawhi Leonard and Paul George aren't playing. Just
Speaker 1: as a reference for hill Billy Mike, but since they
Speaker 1: don't have a first round pick and they really don't
Speaker 1: have any picks till, they're not trying to lose games.
Speaker 1: They're actually trying to win games. Wish at someone who's
Speaker 1: a fan, that's what I want, That's all I ask.
Speaker 1: I don't care about your freaking draft pick. I want
Speaker 1: you to put an honest effort there and try to
Speaker 1: win as many games as you can. And because I
Speaker 1: want winners, all right, that's what I want. I want
Speaker 1: to celebrate winning. Do you understand not losing winning. I
Speaker 1: saw someone recently online propose that we take the two
Speaker 1: worst NFL teams and have them face off against each
Speaker 1: other annually, replacing the Pro Bowl. So it'll be the
Speaker 1: battle of the worst two teams for the number one
Speaker 1: draft pick. So the goal would be to win that game. Ok,
Speaker 1: to actually try to win that game, all right? Take
Speaker 1: the two worst wherever the Pro Bowls being held or
Speaker 1: in this case would be called the toilet Bowl, and
Speaker 1: you would get you would win the number one draft pick.
Speaker 1: All right, hey, and you Winnesota as well. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I gotta sell you should do something. There's so many,
Speaker 1: so many teams. It is a huge issue. So many
Speaker 1: teams just not trying to to put a good product
Speaker 1: on the field and try to win. They think they
Speaker 1: have the cheap code to getting these draft picks, which
Speaker 1: is fools go most of the time. I got mail, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got mail. Yeah, all right. A friend, Hajji from Roanoke, Virginia,
Speaker 1: rights and he says a quick question. It sounds like
Speaker 1: there are several Friday jokes you can't read on the radio.
Speaker 1: Could you read them on the Fifth Hour podcast instead?
Speaker 1: Maybe in a special jokes only episode so sensitive people
Speaker 1: could skip it. Just a thought, keep up the great work,
Speaker 1: Bed and Danny. That's from Hajji in Roanoke. So the
Speaker 1: way I'll answer that, I have tossed this around in
Speaker 1: my head. We get some very offensive jokes. We and
Speaker 1: they're very hilarious. Oh my god, are they funny. They're
Speaker 1: the funniest jokes we get we don't read on the air.
Speaker 1: The problem with that, I've tossed it back and forth.
Speaker 1: But the issue here is that doing the podcast, it's
Speaker 1: kind of like what happened to Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan
Speaker 1: back in the day had told a bunch of jokes
Speaker 1: and he had said the N word. But at the
Speaker 1: time that was allowed in comedy. At some point that
Speaker 1: was no longer allowed, and so that got weaponized years
Speaker 1: later against Joe Rogan. People tried to cancel Rogan, who's
Speaker 1: the king of the podcast and all that, and so
Speaker 1: I'm like, I could read those jokes on the podcast,
Speaker 1: but that will be out there forever and then eventually
Speaker 1: that could come back and bite me in the ask Danny.
Speaker 1: So that's my concern for Hajji. We're doing that. Not
Speaker 1: that I don't think it would be the great podcast.
Speaker 1: It would probably be the most popular podcast that we do,
Speaker 1: because it's comedy, it's good jokes. People like to laugh,
Speaker 1: and you know, guys like to have a good time.
Speaker 1: And you know, the women that listen to the show,
Speaker 1: they get it, they get the humor, so they love it.
Speaker 1: But you know, again, the problem is is wires are
Speaker 1: flying all over this place. The problem is that stuff.
Speaker 1: You know, all it takes is the the Wokesters to
Speaker 1: get ahold of that and then uh, you know it's
Speaker 1: canceled Miller time and all that. So we're living in
Speaker 1: a non Negros world. I don't know what you're talking
Speaker 1: about talking about Ben's famous Negros drop last weekend on
Speaker 1: the podcast Phil and Joe. They're brothers. They're dead and
Speaker 1: well one of them, and I think both of them
Speaker 1: are actually now I don't know. Alright, Uh, let's see
Speaker 1: who do we have next? Any meany mighty mo. Get
Speaker 1: a lot of questions coming in here on the mail bag.
Speaker 1: Email bag very popular. That's right, Yes we do have
Speaker 1: mail al right. Next up is David in a Houston.
Speaker 1: He says, Hey, Ben and Danny, g I'm getting married
Speaker 1: in March. What was the most memorable part of your wedding?
Speaker 1: I guess this is for me because you haven't had
Speaker 1: your your wedding yet. Uh. So I got married in
Speaker 1: Hawaii and uh, I just remember being excited and nervous.
Speaker 1: We I loped. So it's just me and my wife
Speaker 1: at that time, my future wife, and I just want
Speaker 1: to make sure everything was good and because even though
Speaker 1: we got married without family. We had a camera person
Speaker 1: was there to take a photographer, and we had the
Speaker 1: person that did the ceremony and all that. We had
Speaker 1: to pick the spot in Hawaii. We had to find
Speaker 1: the right place in Kauaie to get married, what part
Speaker 1: of the beach you wanted, the whole thing. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of that stuff. We had to go down to
Speaker 1: the the court, not the court room, the city office
Speaker 1: or where we fell out, the wedding papers, the marriage
Speaker 1: license and all that. So just like dealing with all
Speaker 1: that stuff. But I remember having a great time and uh,
Speaker 1: wonderful time. You know, you don't remember the days. That's
Speaker 1: what they say about life. You don't remember actually days.
Speaker 1: You remember moments. And that's a moment obviously. Remember I
Speaker 1: don't know what kind of wedding you're gonna have, David,
Speaker 1: if it's a small wedding, a big wedding, just soak
Speaker 1: it all in. Uh, you know, it's simple stuff, right,
Speaker 1: He's it's amazing how fast it goes. And you know,
Speaker 1: just I remember at my wedding how many people were
Speaker 1: alive in my family that are no longer alive. And
Speaker 1: I didn't get married that long ago, and Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: these are people I loved and real close family, and
Speaker 1: I don't I can't call him, I can't text them,
Speaker 1: I can't email him, and so you just enjoy that stuff. So, uh,
Speaker 1: you know that that would be it said, Yeah, was
Speaker 1: your family okay with not being there at the actual
Speaker 1: physical wedding. Yeah, you know it's funny because my mom,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure my mom mays she rested peace. She
Speaker 1: never thought I was actually gonna get married because I
Speaker 1: was just like a radio guy. You know. She was shocked.
Speaker 1: I think that I found a lovely woman to spend
Speaker 1: my life with. So there was that. Um, but my
Speaker 1: mom was also sick, she was dying, and I we
Speaker 1: kind of That's one of the reasons I actually called
Speaker 1: truth be told. I hurried up and got married because
Speaker 1: I wanted her to know before she she checked out
Speaker 1: that I did get married. I wasn't a total loser.
Speaker 1: Uh So we kind of sped things up in that process.
Speaker 1: So that was part of that. Russell and Kansas writes
Speaker 1: in uh says, first off, it's good to be back. Uh.
Speaker 1: He says, since you replaced Mr Egotistical West of the
Speaker 1: four or five another fan, I really missed the podcast. Thanks,
Speaker 1: Uh then I got I got several of the same
Speaker 1: questions Danny. I got Russell in Kansas, Carlos in Houston,
Speaker 1: and we'll get to his as well. But they were
Speaker 1: all asking why haven't you re recorded the commercial for
Speaker 1: the podcast to include the great Danny g Radio, he says.
Speaker 1: Carlos and Houston had a similar question. Says, I'm truly
Speaker 1: bummed out about beer drinking. Brian passed away. He was
Speaker 1: such a peaceful guy despite him drinking a lot. I'm
Speaker 1: also relieved that Helmet Man is alive. He says. I
Speaker 1: listen to your show podcast every day. In the Fifth
Speaker 1: Hour promos, here we go Danny pop up and it
Speaker 1: keeps saying your sidekick David Gascon. When will that be
Speaker 1: changed to Danny Gee? And Rick from San Ramon also
Speaker 1: wrote in and he said again, why does your promo
Speaker 1: for the fifth Hour podcast still identify Gascon as your partner?
Speaker 1: He says that so a lot of those questions, Danny,
Speaker 1: but people very concerned. They want you to get the
Speaker 1: proper love and how do we have to change that?
Speaker 1: What kind of bureaucracy do we have to go through,
Speaker 1: Danny to change that? I don't know, to be honest
Speaker 1: with you, where does that play on the Heart app? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so I'm sure it's not just our podcast or
Speaker 1: what happened to give you a little inside radio how
Speaker 1: we make the hot dogs. So we did a promo
Speaker 1: when I was with gascon A for the I Heart
Speaker 1: podcast network, and I Heart has a gazillion a flotilla
Speaker 1: of podcast yes, an insane amount of podcast We're just
Speaker 1: a pimple on an elephant's ass when it comes to
Speaker 1: these podcasts. And so they asked us to do a promo,
Speaker 1: and it was cross promotion, like you'll hear a promo
Speaker 1: for the fifth hour on Gottlieb or Rob Parker podcast
Speaker 1: and even non Fox Sports radio podcast. They'll pop up
Speaker 1: on different different podcasts and then in addition on this podcast,
Speaker 1: you're you're gonna hear other people. I was unaware on
Speaker 1: the radio show podcast that that was still playing, but
Speaker 1: I'm sure we could email the powers that be and
Speaker 1: just let them know, hey, why don't we record a
Speaker 1: new promo. I think it was like thirty seconds, maybe longer,
Speaker 1: but you know, we can we can probably take care
Speaker 1: of that. So I'm it must have just popped up
Speaker 1: this week because I didn't get any emails up until
Speaker 1: this week, So some kind of weird algorithm or something
Speaker 1: fired off the promo that we did a long time ago.
Speaker 1: That's an old promo. By the way, we'll get right
Speaker 1: on top of that. I'm sure it will be updated
Speaker 1: by possibly depending how quickly we will not getting it
Speaker 1: will not be having any sooner. As fast as we
Speaker 1: can do it, we'll have a new promop. Rick also says,
Speaker 1: since Danny G. This is Rick from San Ramon. He says,
Speaker 1: since Danny G Is back with you on the weekend,
Speaker 1: whatever happened to the you gotta be kidding me? Drop?
Speaker 1: That is my all time favorite, and Danny or Roberto
Speaker 1: would play it while you announced all of your nicknames.
Speaker 1: I said, I'll take your answer off the air. Rick, Well,
Speaker 1: hard trying of you to take the answer off the air.
Speaker 1: Classic radio cliche. So did we lose that drop? Danny?
Speaker 1: You have gotta be kidding me. Do we still have that?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna search for that now that he mentions it.
Speaker 1: That was one of my favorite times working the board
Speaker 1: is whenever you would go into your spiel about all
Speaker 1: your stupid nicknames. I had clown music that I loved
Speaker 1: to play behind you, and I also had lots of
Speaker 1: funny drops like that one he mentioned when you did
Speaker 1: your nicknames. I was busy mocking all those nicknames. I'll
Speaker 1: take a look in the system for that drop he's
Speaker 1: referring to. Well, that is an act of disrespect, That
Speaker 1: is an act of war. Make a nickname about it. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: well maybe I will. You think that's all right? You're wrong,
Speaker 1: You are wrong. Okay, Oh my god, who the hell cash? Yes,
Speaker 1: all right, wasted ten minutes of our life anytime you
Speaker 1: ran down that long list. The highest ratings we ever
Speaker 1: got doing that, the highest ratings ever unless it wasn't.
Speaker 1: I got mail, yea, I got mail, yea. Barry and
Speaker 1: Nashville says yo yo, mop Benny. Now that the Rams
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl, did you celebrate by finally having
Speaker 1: that Tomahawks steak and m night or is it still
Speaker 1: in your freezer maybe waiting for the Clippers to win
Speaker 1: the championship. What is still wrong with the Clippers? Well, Barry,
Speaker 1: the Tomahawks steak is taking a life of its own.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like the fact I don't drink coffee,
Speaker 1: so now I need to leave that steak in the
Speaker 1: freezer just a little bit longer. I don't think it's
Speaker 1: matured quite enough yet. At some point I'll pull it out.
Speaker 1: Alan and Akron writes and got time for a couple more.
Speaker 1: Alan and Akron writes and says, when will they another one?
Speaker 1: Here's another one day? When will they new pro will
Speaker 1: be cut on? I heart man, it's really upset a
Speaker 1: lot of people. Danny Alan, we were on it, he said,
Speaker 1: by we'll we'll have it done, either that or by
Speaker 1: the time the Vikings win the Super Bowl. I don't
Speaker 1: know whichever comes first there. And I almost feel like
Speaker 1: I should just go in ninja style and right after
Speaker 1: Gascon has mentioned on it, insert a record scratch and
Speaker 1: then just say Nope, it's me Danny g and then
Speaker 1: let the rest of the promo play and then scream
Speaker 1: just like that, or do the old Howard Stern thing
Speaker 1: just like that? I Uh, James in Greensboro in North
Speaker 1: Carolina rights and he says, what are these songs used for?
Speaker 1: Ask Ben and cite the bite. I have no idea.
Speaker 1: I am not musically gifted, do you know, off the
Speaker 1: top of your head, Danny, the only intro I'm thinking
Speaker 1: of is um the word fleetwood mac is used. Tell
Speaker 1: me lies. I cannot think of what's used on asked.
Speaker 1: All right, well that'll give James a reason to listen
Speaker 1: to a future podcast. Yeah. Hey, I'll give you the
Speaker 1: answer on next weekend's mail bag. I'm gonna make a
Speaker 1: note right now, same bat time, same bat station. Right,
Speaker 1: that's how you say it, right, same bad time, same
Speaker 1: bad stays wrong. Last one from Nick in Wisconsin. Now
Speaker 1: he's referring to a video we talked about on the
Speaker 1: show here the other day. Have you seen that viral
Speaker 1: video out of Mexico, Viva Mexico of the birds for
Speaker 1: the Birds? Have you seen that yet? Okay, so I'll
Speaker 1: try to describe it to you. Maybe I can send
Speaker 1: you a copy of it. Hold on a secure and
Speaker 1: we have the technology. Let me let me go over
Speaker 1: here and go down, page down, page down. Uh So,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna send you the video and I want you
Speaker 1: to watch it. So it's a very odd moments from
Speaker 1: a security camera. Look at this amazing technology. It is fascinating,
Speaker 1: isn't it. Look at that it's like we're right next
Speaker 1: to each other. All right, So I sent you the link.
Speaker 1: It's a video. You gotta click on it, and it's
Speaker 1: just security video of this house in Mexico. And then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it looks like a black cloud
Speaker 1: of rain comes down. Who yeah in that wild that's birds.
Speaker 1: That's a flock of birds that came crashing down. And
Speaker 1: so we were trying to figure out what happened. There's
Speaker 1: a couple of different theories on it. One of the
Speaker 1: theories is they flew through a cloud of poison. Another
Speaker 1: theory is they hit a like a line electric line.
Speaker 1: Another theory, which I think most people are going with,
Speaker 1: is that there was a predator bird that scared them.
Speaker 1: So the lead bird, you know how there's like the
Speaker 1: lead bird that leads them, and the lead bird somehow
Speaker 1: was trying to get away from the predator bird and
Speaker 1: bam right down down you go. Turn out the lots
Speaker 1: the parties over. Yeah that one. Sorry, you get nothing. Incidentally,
Speaker 1: this is exactly what the video footage looks like outside
Speaker 1: of that bathroom you blew up in Echo Park. That
Speaker 1: is very so, that is correct. That is the same,
Speaker 1: the same situation. But Nikki and Wisconsin, I just show
Speaker 1: you the video, naysays after the video of the birds
Speaker 1: in Mexico that rained down. Would you rather be the
Speaker 1: lead bird or one of the followers, he says, And
Speaker 1: do you think the lead bird hit the ground first?
Speaker 1: That video was wild, they have The video is wild.
Speaker 1: So you'd obviously rather be one of the followers than
Speaker 1: the lead bird because the lead bird probably definitely died.
Speaker 1: There's a shot some of the birds survived. They didn't
Speaker 1: all die like there were some birds that stood up
Speaker 1: and we're we're okay there. So every once a while,
Speaker 1: these things have probably been happening forever, but we now
Speaker 1: there's hammers everywhere. We kidded around. We said, one of
Speaker 1: the benefits of the police state as we see things
Speaker 1: like this that we would never see, like ever. Have
Speaker 1: you seen that video clip of the guy that fell
Speaker 1: walking on the sidewalk? I think it was somewhere in Japan,
Speaker 1: uh and and the guys walking and you know how
Speaker 1: in the city they have those doors that open up
Speaker 1: to the liver products for the for the restaurants or whatever.
Speaker 1: So this guy comes walking down, he falls through the hole.
Speaker 1: You think he's dead. He just he hit a box
Speaker 1: and he was fine. It was wild. That video was
Speaker 1: making the rounds this week by the way, somebody underneath
Speaker 1: the videos trying to explain that February tenth, around this time,
Speaker 1: the Earth had a magnetic event due to solar winds.
Speaker 1: Magnetic is how these birds fly in these large groups
Speaker 1: that threw off their compass. Happened all over on February tenth. Really,
Speaker 1: people underneath, some people are agreeing with them. So I'm
Speaker 1: not sure everything we read on the internet is correct, obviously,
Speaker 1: but well that makes sense. Yeah, I just think it
Speaker 1: was drawn. They could have just been magnetically drawn down
Speaker 1: to the concrete. Well if it it messes up the
Speaker 1: way they who knows how they fly, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, they've studied it and all that. They haven't
Speaker 1: been able to master it. But yeah, that's pretty crazy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: actually we got we're up against these were like scientists.
Speaker 1: We just explained a geo magnetic solar storm. Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: not just sports guys, now, we're not sport Oh guys,
Speaker 1: Dandy were multi to mention, you've got the music background
Speaker 1: I've got to get, you know, the gas baggery nonsense,
Speaker 1: all that mixed together the way to go. Yeah. Um,
Speaker 1: but else today I saw some other stories that we
Speaker 1: don't have time to get to but the I saw
Speaker 1: a story of China claims they invented skiing ten thousand
Speaker 1: years ago. Do you think skiing has been around for
Speaker 1: ten thousand years? Absolutely not. Yeah, I find that one
Speaker 1: hard to believe. And that undersea remember that undersea volcano
Speaker 1: and Tonga, Yeah, they said, Now they claim the scientists
Speaker 1: underwater volcano eruption it triggered nearly five ninety thousand lightning strikes.
Speaker 1: They claim because of that as again everything's connected, you know,
Speaker 1: the birds and the bees and all that stuff. And
Speaker 1: then they also said the volcano eruption itself was the
Speaker 1: force of more than five hundred hirosium a nuclear bomb.
Speaker 1: That's pretty crazy to wild stories. And I have seen
Speaker 1: some of the conspiracy theories on that, but yeah, I
Speaker 1: didn't have really studied that much. Anyway, I any to
Speaker 1: my moote here, Danny g anything at all here? What
Speaker 1: do you want to promote? Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, cameo,
Speaker 1: any of that stuff. I would just like to request
Speaker 1: that we get three more of those wonderful reviews because
Speaker 1: Ben is still trying to pay off his parking super
Speaker 1: Bowl event that we went to, so now it might
Speaker 1: only count towards pennies or even just a dollar bend
Speaker 1: towards your earnings on the podcast. But that would put
Speaker 1: a dollar back in your pocket and take care of
Speaker 1: some of that fifties sixty dollars we spent on parking
Speaker 1: for Radio Row. Well. It wasn't all wasted money, though, Danny,
Speaker 1: because if you could be a fly in the room.
Speaker 1: When I contacted management and say I'd like to expense this,
Speaker 1: and they just I thought that was the funniest, the
Speaker 1: funniest thing out there. They thought that was just just great.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna add half pint and Genie's laugh back to
Speaker 1: back right here, back to back and belly to belly.
Speaker 1: Uh listen, I have a great rest of your Sunday.
Speaker 1: I will be back tonight in the Magic Radio Box.
Speaker 1: It is a weird schedule though this week, and I'm
Speaker 1: warning you guys on the podcast, it's not your normal schedule.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be away. I have to go to a
Speaker 1: wake this week, so because it's early in the morning,
Speaker 1: I've never been to one of these things, but one
Speaker 1: of my wife's relatives passed away, and so I have
Speaker 1: to go. It's early in the morning, so I have
Speaker 1: to miss really two shows because it's like an all
Speaker 1: day thing, these things. So but I'll be doing a
Speaker 1: bonus show. I will actually be filling in on on

Speaker 1: a rare and appropriate chance to fill in for Dan.
Speaker 1: So it's a weird schedule to see, but I will
Speaker 1: be on tonight, And so I know you'll be freaking out.
Speaker 1: You normally do when I'm not not you, Danny, but
