Did you get snacks? Yeah? 16 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: We do popcorn and a slushy? Now did you mix 17 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 1: any chocolate with the popcorn? No? But last weekend we 18 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 1: did get a little thing of red vines to go 19 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: with the popcorn. Okay, yeah, Because I gotta tell you 20 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: the chocolate the sugar and the salt.

That's a solid because she your mom 28 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: realized that that is the magic. I've said this many times. 29 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: Olive cooking is just combining fat, salt, sugar, all those things, 30 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: like the proper mix. It's all you're doing in the kitchen. 31 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: But it's it's awesome. Oh man, it's so great that 32 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: that bliss point. Everyone's trying to find that bliss point 33 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: in eating.

This is the mail bag 37 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: we spill the beans, Danny. This is a much different 38 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: segment of radio. This sounds nothing like ask Ben. People do. 39 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: There's no confusion. If this were to go to the 40 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: Supreme Court. They would say, these are two totally different entities. Good, 41 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: don't don't look at me like that. I don't need 42 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: you to look at me like that. Okay, I'm telling you. 43 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 1: I can't emphasize that enough.

And he says, Ben, 58 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: how awful would it be to find a tall enough 59 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: outfit for you. Well, and this guy Greg gets it. 60 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: He knows that we are big stars in the Fox 61 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: universe and that we would be perfect. Like I would 62 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: get on there and i would do the jitterbug Foo Drizzle. 63 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: I'd start out now, I would I would start out 64 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: doing the jitterbug, I'd move into the Charleston and then 65 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 1: maybe if we had enough time, the chat chat chop 66 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: that would be. That would be how I would do it, 67 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: and it would be you imagine the hosts of that 68 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: show when they did your unveiling. They always shoot for 69 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: the moon with their guesses, Bradley Cooper, and then they 70 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: would take your mask off and they'd be like, who 71 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 1: the fuck is this? How the fuck this guy gets? 72 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: Get Fox A Security, Get this idiot out of here. 73 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: Who put this guy in here?

I'm not 83 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: a great dancer unless nobody knows who I am. If 84 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: I had a mask on and I was out there 85 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: just kind of doing my thing, and I think I'd 86 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 1: be a really good dancer if I thought no one 87 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: would ever find out that it was me in the costume. 88 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: Like we have to be like nineteen twenty style, like 89 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: New Year's Z for you.

My triple chili cheeseburgers and fries and 102 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: watch all the crazy drug down people come down from 103 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: the sunset trip and eat their burgers and fries and 104 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: all that in chili. And he says, howdy, gentlemen, have 105 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: not written in ages. Still diligently listen to the radio 106 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: show and obediently download all the casts, enjoy them all. However, 107 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: and he says, I am this is a quote. I'm incensed. 108 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: How dare you Ben encourage Roberto to delete the go 109 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: King Eddie drop. It is the connective tissue fusing the 110 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: different eras of the show and makes me laugh out 111 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: loud every time, no matter where I am, Go King 112 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: Eddie Go. He says, I love the the Mallarin Danige lifehacks, 113 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: like the chicken sauce dip from Costco. Well, that was 114 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:51,119 Speaker 1: actually from Walmart. The chicken was from Costco. Yeah, rip 115 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: off Chick fil At sandwiches. Nobody emailed me to say 116 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: they tried that, so I guess nobody did. But the 117 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: sauce was from Walmart. The chicken sandwich was from Costco. 118 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: So he says, any other inflation busting your life enhancing pointers, 119 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: it might be a good fifth hour segment says, happy Spring. 120 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: That's Andy, our friend in the hood in Hollywood. Danny 121 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: got anything to save a couple of bucks. We usually 122 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: mention these things when they come up, right. Yeah, I 123 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: mean this is regional because I don't think Alpoyo Locos 124 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: all over the country. But you could probably do this 125 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: at a local chicken slash Mexican spot. Get there bean 126 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: and cheese burrito. There's the BRC burrito at Elpoyo Loco, 127 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: which is on the West Coast. And then I get 128 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: a chicken breast on the side, I peel the chicken, 129 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: put it in with their creamy cilantro sauce, and I 130 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: make my own chicken burrito and it is two dollars 131 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: cheaper than any chicken burrito on their menu. Oh that's 132 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: a pretty good move. I like that. I have. I've 133 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: heard some McDonald's hacks. I'll have to share. I'll have 134 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 1: to share some of the things I don't have on 135 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: top of my head. And yeah, I will definitely do 136 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: more of that, Andy, because we are tight wahs and 137 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: everyone's got to save a couple of bucks these days, 138 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 1: with the way the economy is and everything's so ridiculous. 139 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: I did hear a car hack, a rental car hack 140 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 1: that if you rent a car, you say you're renting 141 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: a car for a week, and they charge you, I 142 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: don't know, four hundred dollars for the week or something 143 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: like that, which is a probably a good deal these days. 144 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: Just the date. I've heard that sometimes what you can 145 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: do is you can adjust the date for a couple 146 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: of days extra that you don't even need the car. 147 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 1: It'll actually be cheaper. It'll be cheaper to rent the car. 148 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: And then what you do is when you're done with 149 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: the car, you turn the car in early and sometimes 150 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: I'll even give you a bigger discount. How crazy is that? 151 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: Like a reward almost? Yeah, Like you turned the car 152 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: in early and they're grateful and so they'll give you 153 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: a little extra money back. So that's that's kind of cool. 154 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: And I did get one of those travel cards where 155 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: you get points because we'll be doing a lot of 156 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: mini road trips and flights this year to different locations, 157 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: and so we've got one of those credit cards they 158 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: tell you to use I was reading up on it. 159 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: They tell you to use one credit card, have a 160 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: favorite airline, and only use that airline. That way, you 161 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: actually get some decent points. Otherwise not so much. Not 162 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: so much. Next up on the mailbag, Mike from Fullerton, 163 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: no relation to furg Dog says, last week, you guys 164 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: brought up Vinyl outselling CDs for the first time in 165 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: thirty five years. I thought that was pretty neat. So 166 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: I was wondering if either of you think VHS or 167 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: Beta Max will make a similar comeback against DVDs and 168 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: Blu rays. Ah. Did you hear what's going on with 169 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: Blockbuster Video? No, what happened perfect timing for Ferg. I 170 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: mean Mike's question here. Just a couple of days ago, 171 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: a story popped up about Blockbuster their website has come 172 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: back to life suddenly, and they put a message on 173 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: their website saying please be kind while we rewind. Oh, 174 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: there's lots of speculation out there. Does this mean they're 175 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: gonna start to open up more stores, because obviously they 176 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: went bankrupt just over a decade ago and there's only 177 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: one location left, which they did that documentary on in Bend, Oregon. 178 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: So either this is just a ploy and they're gonna 179 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 1: sell merchandise and stuff like that, or there's rumblings that 180 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,719 Speaker 1: the retro movement like with vinyl, could come back with 181 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: video stores. I don't buy it. I'll tell you why, 182 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 1: because the DVD is a better quality than the VHS tape. 183 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: So why like the argument, I don't think they would 184 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: do VHS tapes there. They would probably do Blu Ray 185 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: I'm guessing. But even that is most people are just 186 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: streaming these days, right, isn't that the that's what everyone's doing? True? 187 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: But I would argue this, what's the last electronic device 188 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: that most of us own where we did watch movies, 189 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: and that's Blu Ray. Like I have a Blu Ray 190 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 1: player still with my TV gear. I still can't get 191 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: over the story that Blockbuster Video had a chance to 192 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: eliminate Netflix and they didn't. They didn't take advantage of it. Oh, 193 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: I know, talk about kicking yourself in the ass. For 194 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: how many years now, every night those executives got to 195 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 1: go to bed knowing they made one of the worst 196 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: decisions ever. That was one of the coolest things though, 197 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: when you'd go to Blockbuster Video and you'd find that 198 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: new movie and there was one left and you'd grab it, 199 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: you'd snatch it, and it's like, oh, that was the 200 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: coolest thing yet, or you would get one of the 201 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,559 Speaker 1: employees to look through the return been oh yeah, yeah, 202 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: yeah that too, Yeah, that was awesome, And I was like, oh, 203 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: and the candy packages right at the front when you 204 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: were checking out solid good memories Blockbuster videos, like what 205 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: are you doing this weekend? We're going to Blockbuster to 206 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: find something to watch Blockbuster and chill. Then you'd get 207 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: there and they'd have no good fucking movies, so you'd 208 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: end up watching some old movie. But you're like, yeah, 209 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 1: that's all you had, And there was that distinct smell 210 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: inside every Blockbuster. Mike also says, have either of you 211 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 1: ever been drunk or high on the air before? I 212 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: think you can tell the truth on the fifth hour 213 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: without getting in trouble. So I've only been drunk on 214 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: the air one time, and I've told the story randomly 215 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: in the past. I haven't told a long time. This 216 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: is back in the late nineties. I was doing a 217 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: nighttime show in LA It was a new sports station 218 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: and we got preempted for Olympic women's hockey, which was 219 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: like a trial sport. It wasn't even like a real thing. 220 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: But the boss is like, oh, we're going to carry 221 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: the network feed and we wanted to do the show. 222 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: We were like, we know, who the hell in LA 223 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: wants to hear a women's hockey game on the radio. 224 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: And we were like, we want to do the show. 225 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: And he's like, NA, no, no, he's we're gonna carry this. 226 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: But the feed the Olympics were overseas. I don't remember 227 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: what country they were in, you can look it up. 228 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: But the guys, the boss at the time, this guy 229 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: Bow is like, all right, listen. He said, just kind 230 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: of you gotta be the station. You guys can go 231 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: out and have a nice meal. I'm probably not gonna 232 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: need you, but just be in the area in case 233 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: we need need to fill some time after the Olympic 234 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: coverage gets done. So we were like all right. And 235 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: this was in Burbank. We went to Dults, which is 236 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: a legendary. It's not there. It's been gone for many 237 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: many years, probably been gone for twenty years. But this 238 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: place was amazing. It was sandwiched right near Warner Brothers 239 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: studios that was on one side. On the other side 240 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: he had all the radio stations, all the big radio 241 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: stations in LA had studios and so it was all 242 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: radio people, TV people. This was back in the nineties. 243 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: I used to hang out there all the time. It 244 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: was like our local, our local spot. That's where I 245 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: first met Pat O'Brien. Pob Wow. We had a giant. 246 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: He was doing that entertainment show and he had a giant. 247 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: And this location wasn't that far from your favorite karaoke spot, right, Oh, 248 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: it was right down the street from Dimple's. Yeah, right 249 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: down the street. So this was back when Drew Carey 250 00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: was big and sein fell like that area that era 251 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: of television, and a lot of the actors from those 252 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: shows and the people on the crew after they were 253 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: done taping, they would come hang out and have chicken fingers. Anyway, 254 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: long story short, So the boss is like, you just 255 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: hang out in the area. Well, the restaurant was in 256 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: the next building over these two skyscrapers. It was the 257 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: next building over. I say skyscrapers is Burbank, So they 258 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: were probably like fourteen stories whatever. But we went over 259 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: to the next building. We were eating and drinking and 260 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: and whatever, and then we were about to, you know, 261 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: go on our merry way and the boss called. It 262 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: wasn't even a text. This is back in the days. 263 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: We you call said, hey, I need you to get 264 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: back on. You gotta get back to the radio station. 265 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: I probably need you for about half an hour. Oh yeah. 266 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: So now we walked back across the street, you know, 267 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: and feeling feeling no pain. We get back across the street, 268 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: and I'll never forget the late Mark Smith, my engineer. 269 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: May he rest in peace. Mark. Mark was this interesting 270 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 1: character who, Yeah, he came from maybe the wrong part 271 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: of town, but for him, it was the great part 272 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: of town. And if we screwed something up, Mark was 273 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: the kind of engineer that would come in and he 274 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 1: had these massive fists. He was from Englewood, and he 275 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 1: would punch. He would literally punch us if we screwed up. 276 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: And it was the The Ben and Dave Show with 277 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: this guy Dave Smith. And I don't even remember what 278 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,360 Speaker 1: was going on. All I know is that Mark kept 279 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: coming in and punching me in the arm and the 280 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: side of the head. I just kept finishing sentences with 281 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: curse words. Oh yeah, like I just I didn't realize 282 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: I was so I was so inebriated. I didn't know 283 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 1: what's going on. So that's the only time that happened. 284 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: What about you, Danny? Any stories going back I told 285 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: the story last week about being drunk on Saint Patty's 286 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: Day on the air, where I said Happy Mother's Day. 287 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: At the end, I've only been high on the air 288 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: one time on an FM station. Our general manager used 289 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: to tell all of us in staff meetings, He's like, look, 290 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: I'm not naive. I know you guys all smoke weed. 291 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: You do hip hop for a living. I get it, 292 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: But do not smoke right before you go on the microphone. 293 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: Smoke away from work, at the club, whatever, outside the club, 294 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: don't smoke outside the studio. Do not be high on 295 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 1: the air. You're not going to get good results. Smoke weed. 296 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: I didn't smoke a lot back then, but yeah, maybe 297 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: a couple of times a week. And I smoked at 298 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: one time because I was in pain a bad back 299 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: or something at the time, all right, from lifting all 300 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 1: those hoes at the club, and I smoked and went 301 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: on the air. I was having like blank spots where 302 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: I couldn't put together my next sentence. And remember bringing 303 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: the traffic girl in and she said, are you okay, 304 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: went into the restroom, splashed some cold water on my face. 305 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: Don't don't shit where you eat, right, And the same 306 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 1: thing obviously working with school and with kids, and we 307 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: would get tested. And so at that point I'm like, well, 308 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: I'm not going to smoke at all anymore because obviously, 309 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: you know, if you're gonna be tested and or you're 310 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: gonna be around kids, that's not a place to smoke either. 311 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,880 Speaker 1: So basically, jobs took all the fun out of smoking 312 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: back in the day. Having a grow up, it's yeah boo, 313 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: Pierre writes in on the mail bag Pierre from the 314 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 1: Short Attention Span Theater. He says, guys, how devastated will 315 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: you be when they banned TikTok in the United States? So, Pierre, 316 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: on a scale of one to ten, I on devastation 317 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: the Mallard scale of devastation for TikTok possibly being banned, 318 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 1: I am at a solid minus one. I don't use TikTok. 319 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: It has no impact. I mean, I'm not on there. 320 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: The only time I see TikTok videos are when Pierre 321 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: sends them to me or some other listeners. Seriously, I'm 322 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: not I'm not in that world. Are you on TikTok? Danny? 323 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: You're not on there? No, But I do get links 324 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 1: from TikTok sent to me by Coveno all the time 325 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: from Covino and Rich. So once in a while there'll 326 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: be some sort of sports video or TMZ type video 327 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: and they're like, hey, we need the audio from this. 328 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: That is the only time I use TikTok. Yeah, I'm not. 329 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: I'm not in that world of TikTok. But I know 330 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: Pierre Man. He's on there. He's going for it. He's 331 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: on there all the time. He loves the TikTok and 332 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 1: everything that they have to offer. He's doing the hokey 333 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: pokey and the whole thing. Next up Fred from Spring 334 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: Texas Everyboddy Fred Wrights and he says, Hi, there, you 335 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: said last week that you had the rights to Benny 336 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: versus the penny. Do you have the rights for in 337 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: the air everywhere? Fred? No, No, I do not. I 338 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: like the phrase. I've used it a lot. I don't 339 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: think I owned the rights to that. I don't know 340 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: that you can't own the rights of that. So the 341 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: answer is a big n oh. Hey, say, just keep 342 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: up the good work. Barry from Nashville Rights and says, 343 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: yo yo mo Benny. He says, you have been doing 344 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: the sports overnight for a long time. Would you ever 345 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: consider jumping from sports to a non sport old program. 346 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: For instance, if the hosting of the Coast to Coast 347 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: program became available, would you do that. I would love 348 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: to sit in on Coast to Coast one night. I 349 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 1: think that would be a lot of fun if they 350 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: ever needed someone to pinch it on Coast to Coast, 351 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: like on the weekends or something like that. If I know, 352 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: George does it during the week and then they've got 353 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: George Knapp and some other cats that fill it on 354 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: the weekends. But I would I think that would be 355 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 1: a lot of fun. What did you make of that 356 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,439 Speaker 1: story last week where people report did those comment looking 357 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: things that were trailing each other in the sky? Yeah? 358 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: I think if I was on Coast to Coast I 359 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: could have done four hours on that. I could have like, 360 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: I totally could have knocked that out of the park. 361 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: But yeah, it wouldn't be fun to sit there with 362 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: some I feel like I do that anyway. I talk 363 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: to people that believe in a lot of that stuff, 364 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 1: and they just happened to be sports fans, you know 365 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 1: what I mean. Yeah, I was gonna say you could 366 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: have half of your regular callers still call in. Yeah, 367 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be shocked at half our regular callers when 368 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: they get done calling our show, they call the coast 369 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: to coast. When they get done, they move over there. Yeah, 370 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: wouldn't shock me at all if that was what was 371 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: going on. Next up, Thank you Barry, though my man 372 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: Barry in the Music City. Ozzy was from Western Australia, 373 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: right since, says dear Ben big Ben and Daddy G. 374 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,959 Speaker 1: I stuffed up and I think, well, he says, stuffed up, 375 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: And in the United States we say screwed up. In 376 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 1: Australia he says stuffed up. I says, I stuffed up, 377 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: And I didn't actually send my question last week. Bad 378 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: job by me. I did not hit the send button. 379 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: But here we go. You have started daylight savings time 380 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: over there, while good for me, I get one extra 381 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: hour of the Mallar Show and now only one of 382 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:25,400 Speaker 1: Colvino and Richest Show due to work hours. So here 383 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: we go. Besides farmer not liking it, he says, or 384 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: so I think he means my farmers not liking it, 385 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 1: What is the funniest excuse for not having it? For example, 386 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: he says. Over here in Australia, Ozzia says I heard 387 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: with the extra hour of sunlight, my curtains will fade 388 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: or I will lose an hour of my life. Yeah, 389 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: so I don't know what you've heard, Danny. I've heard 390 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 1: that everyone's pretty much in agreement there is no need 391 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: for daylight savings time. We should just pick a time 392 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: and just go with it. But the reason they haven't 393 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 1: changed it is because a lot of the technology is 394 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: not designed for just one time, so it would be 395 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: a lot of work to fix the infrastructure, and it 396 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: would take several years to get her done. Allegedly, So 397 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,919 Speaker 1: are you saying this is like the two K Millennium 398 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: two thousand was about to roll around, everybody freaked out. 399 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: The computers around the world are gonna crash. Yep, yep, yep. 400 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: Don't be in an elevator, don't be anywhere near anything computerizer, 401 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: You're gonna die. And then it happened, and nothing happened. 402 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: The late great Art Bell, the greatest overnight host of 403 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: all time, Art Bell on his Coast to Coast show. 404 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: In the lead up he did three years hand to God, 405 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 1: three years of show about how the world was going 406 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: to end, and it was all it was. We're all 407 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 1: doomed and it was because of that, and then it happened, 408 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 1: nothing bad happened, and then he just he just continued 409 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 1: to hunt it. He had, he had the show to do, 410 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: and that was that. So there you go, just pretend 411 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: like it never happened exactly, Kyrie and okase Wrights and 412 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: he says, how is it going, gentlemen? I love the Bennies. 413 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: He says, that we did the Bennies, says a couple 414 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 1: of Bennies shows. He says. It points out that you 415 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: guys care about your audience and it's a very unique 416 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: feature to give back to the fans and says, say thanks. 417 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 1: Kyrie says the mother Militia. I really appreciate it. Another 418 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: reason among countless others why you are the goat in 419 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 1: my eyes. Well, very kind, Kyrie. Anyway, would there be 420 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: ever be a fifth Hour Award show? Just wondering because 421 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 1: I cannot contribute to the main radio show like others can. 422 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: The dreaded day shift worker, he says, well, anyway, keep 423 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 1: up the great work as always much loved Kyrie. So yeah, 424 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: I don't think we're gonna do a Benny's version because 425 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: I don't like to steal material. Danny, as you know 426 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 1: from other other shows and other of course in the business. 427 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: So we won't do that. But I could add a 428 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: benny for the top fifth Hour contributor. Oh, that would 429 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: be cool. Actually, Yeah, like the person that contributed the 430 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 1: most content to the show, add a category for them, 431 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: and I think that would be That would be pretty neat. 432 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: Nick in Wisconsin, Right, since says Ben and Danny, g 433 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: you cannot use one of these for the rest of 434 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: your life. Would you rather not use toothpaste or not 435 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: use the odorant? He says, have a great Sunday. So 436 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: from Nick, I don't like that choice, or either of 437 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: those choices, because we've all been around that one person 438 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: who's allergic to deodorant for some reason, and that is 439 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: not a good space to be in. But then again, 440 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, Ben, but if I don't 441 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: taste toothpaste in my mouth, I can't even sleep comfortably. Yeah, 442 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: I think your breath will not be right. And that's well, 443 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: we're both married, Danny. I don't know that we need 444 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: the odor I think the toothpaste is probably more more important. 445 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: How about this, Keep the deodorant and then just use 446 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: baking soda. Oh, yeah, you could do that. Yeah, yeah, 447 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: you could just use baking soda on your toothbrush. Sure, 448 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: for sure. Jennifer in Richmond, Virginia, right she and she says, hello, 449 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 1: Ben and Danny. Gee, I think the Safari Kingdom segment 450 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: is a great addition. Maybe you can even include stories 451 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: of animal rescue groups. And she said, she sent me 452 00:27:55,760 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: a link here. I will consider it, Jennifer. As you know, Danny, 453 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: we are in the content business, so anywhere we can 454 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: get content for it. You know, we can even have 455 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: Clay Travis as a guest. Well, I have Clay's willing 456 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 1: to do it. Drum um, drum. Now. I gotta tell you, Danny, 457 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: back back in the day, I used to listen. I 458 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:17,959 Speaker 1: was a little boy and I used to I used 459 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 1: to listen to this show called The Animal Thunderdome and 460 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:22,880 Speaker 1: it was a great show and I loved it a lot. 461 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: And you know, so they had a lot of weird 462 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: animal stories. Anyway, Jennifer says, My question for you guys, 463 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 1: when you have a light bulbs start flickering in a 464 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: room and you know it doesn't have much longer to live, 465 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: do you change it right away or leave it until 466 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,959 Speaker 1: the bulbs in the other in the other rooms flicker 467 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: and then change them all at once. Yeah. So, Jennifer, 468 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: here's the way I'll ask that. First of all, it 469 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: is annoying. We all have had that happen when the 470 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: light starts flickering. So my move is to look under 471 00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: the kitchen sink where the light bulbs are stored, or 472 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: in the garage and see if we have lightbulbs. If 473 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: we have a light bulb, I will then immediately change 474 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: the light bulb. If we don't have any light bulb, 475 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: I'm not going down to lows or home depot. I 476 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: will wait for all the lights to go out before 477 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: I will then buy light bulbs. So that's my move. 478 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: What about you, Danny, I will one up you there 479 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: with what's more annoying, Jennifer, how about when the smoke 480 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: alarm needs new batteries. Oh I hate that, don't you 481 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: hate that stupid chirping sound it makes, And a lot 482 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: of times it is in a spot that is hard 483 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: to reach, like you need a ladder, and so people 484 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: will leave that sound there for a long time. It 485 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: drove me up a wall in my Burbank townhouse that 486 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: I had back in the day Finally it got to 487 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: the point where I went to poem Depot, bought a ladder, 488 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: went up, changed it, and then the next day I 489 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: went and returned the ladder because I need a ladder. 490 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: I have a wonderful story that just popped in my head, 491 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: and I think Jennifer will appreciate this happened. I was 492 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: doing a bonus show for w EI in Boston, so 493 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: you'll appreciate this, dandy. So I'm at the old Mallard Mansion, 494 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: which you were at a few times. I'm doing the 495 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: show and the goddamn smoke detector starts going off while 496 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: I'm on the air. In the background, you hear the 497 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: noise while I'm doing the show. So I then go 498 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: over to the smoke detector and I like try to 499 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: take the battery out. I can't get the thing off 500 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: the wall. So there's only a few minutes of commercials, 501 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: so I got to go back on the air and 502 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: again the background it was from your hot sports takes. Yeah, 503 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: I was burning up the thing. So the next commercial 504 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: break that we had, I went back and I turned 505 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: into the incredible Hulk and just ripped the thing off 506 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: the ceiling. We just ripped it down, and because it 507 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: was one of these smoke detectors that it had like 508 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 1: a battery that was inside, but it would not he 509 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: would not. You couldn't take it out. Once the thing died. 510 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: You just had to replace the whole thing, the whole unit. 511 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: So that some of them get stuck to walls because 512 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: of paint, and other ones, like you said, have the 513 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,719 Speaker 1: internal battery and they're impossible to turn off. A lot 514 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: of people finally take wire cutters and just cut them 515 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: out of the wall. Oh yeah, that's terrible. What a 516 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: pain in the ass, What an absolute pain in the ass. 517 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: Amish J wrote and he says originally from Cincinnati but 518 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 1: currently reside in c Bus. What are your thoughts on 519 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: twin Peaks? He says, it's similar to Hooters and Tilted 520 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: Kilt and your favorite were walking favorite walking hiking trails 521 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 1: in the Greater metro parks of Phoenix. He says, I 522 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: just did a hike in the South Mountains recently and 523 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: attended two spring training games along with some NHL action 524 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: in Anaheim and Vegas. To see my sorry ass blue jackets, 525 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: he says, So yeah, I've not done any hiking in Phoenix. 526 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: I know in Tucson, not Tucson Tempe. There's some pretty 527 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: cool trails right around the Angels. I used to go 528 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: to Angels spring training. There was some cool cool things 529 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: there that I recall. But other than that, no, I 530 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: haven't done a lot of hiking in because I usually 531 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: go to Arizona other than this year. I usually went 532 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 1: in the summer and it's one hundred and twenty degrees. 533 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: You're not hiking in one hundred and twenty degrees. That's 534 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 1: not happening. So forget about that. Any comment on Twin 535 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: Peaks there you want chime in on that. Well, when 536 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: he said Twin Peaks, I thought about the Grand Tetons, 537 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: I did too, That's what I thought. He was. Wyoming 538 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: not only a beautiful mountain range, probably one of the 539 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: the most beautiful mountain ranges in all of the world, 540 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: but there is a great hiking trail at the base 541 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: of the Grand Tetons. It's Jenny Lake. So if you 542 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 1: ever get to go to Wyoming, if you ever get 543 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 1: to go through there to visit Yellowstone, make sure you 544 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: add that to your bucket list, and that Jenny Lake. 545 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: For a couple of hours, you walk around the base 546 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 1: of that lake, and it is just amazing because the 547 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: lake is beautiful. Then when you look up, you're looking 548 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: at the Grand Tetons. There you go. We had a guide. 549 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 1: Do you remember Steve Stillwell you were you were around 550 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: when he was at Fox Sports Radio. I don't know. Yeah, 551 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: still A left Fox Sports Radio to take a radio 552 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: job in Shyenne, Wyoming. Oh, beautiful area. Yeah, he went 553 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: there and still Well I love the guy. Yeah, just 554 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: a typical radio dude. He went there, and then once 555 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,480 Speaker 1: he realized how much money the job paid, he didn't 556 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 1: stay very long. He quickly got out of there, and 557 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 1: they had him doing like five different radio stations for 558 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: That's the thing is that you want to talk about 559 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 1: mob pop operations that Montana, Well, you would be the 560 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: program director, the general manager, the morning Am drive guy, 561 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: you do afternoon drive, and then you do play by 562 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: play for high school sports and get paid less than 563 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: somebody working at Burger King. Yeah, the glamorous life of radio. 564 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: We had two more quick ones. Joe writes, and he says, 565 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:44,879 Speaker 1: you have encouraged us to download your podcast. Is there 566 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 1: a difference in whether we download a podcast versus just 567 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: streaming it on demand? That's a good question. I don't 568 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 1: think there's a is there a difference on that If 569 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast, it'll download to your device 570 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 1: no matter matter what, even if you takes you a 571 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 1: while to get to it. Yeah. Obviously, if you're just 572 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 1: streaming on demand, then that's whatever you have time to 573 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,720 Speaker 1: listen to in real time. So yeah, it's probably better 574 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,800 Speaker 1: to subscribe that way. The whole library is they're waiting 575 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:22,919 Speaker 1: for you. Yeah, and it listening live on the iHeart app, 576 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: for example. That's a wonderful thing because there are how 577 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 1: many thousands of iHeart radio stations and music stations on 578 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:34,760 Speaker 1: that app. It's insane. It's biggest media, biggest audio company 579 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 1: out there. But Fox Sports Radio is always in the 580 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 1: top five. I say always. It's been that way for years. 581 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 1: That Fox Sports Radio is one of the five most 582 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 1: listened to audio streams on the iHeart app, which is yeah, 583 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 1: well it is incredible. A Big Lou writes in from 584 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: the LBC at last one. He says, well, Big Lou, 585 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 1: my man, Big Lue.

But A Fat sALS contributor to the show, yeah, 588 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: hockey guy. He's actually watched Eddie play hockey. He says, well, 589 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:13,319 Speaker 1: you ever interview any mallor Militia members on the podcast? 590 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 1: Or must we wait until another pandemic? Well, big lou, 591 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 1: We're not that far away from another pandemic, trust me. No, No, 592 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,919 Speaker 1: I've talked to you, Danny. We've thought about maybe having 593 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 1: a theme like a month where we pick some celebrities 594 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 1: in the mallor Militia and have them on and learn 595 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 1: what makes them tick and all that. I had Cowboy 596 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,840 Speaker 1: on this podcast, I've had over there during the pandemic. 597 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 1: We put Doc Mike on. We can full of lists 598 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,359 Speaker 1: and maybe you could put some Benny winners on. Yeah, 599 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 1: we could do that, But how do you whittle it down? 600 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 1: That's always the problem. There's so many people we have 601 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 1: to choose from, Like, how do you whittle it down? 602 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,399 Speaker 1: And are they gonna be good? You know? I could 603 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 1: do an interview with Dick and Dayton. Yeah, but what 604 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 1: if that is right now you don't have a prize 605 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,920 Speaker 1: for the Bennis. What if that is a prize for 606 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,839 Speaker 1: winning a Benny. You win a Benny and you get 607 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: an invite to be on the Fifth Hour podcast. That's great. 608 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,239 Speaker 1: You know, that's a wonderful idea. That's a carrot on 609 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,279 Speaker 1: the stick. I like that. I'm gonna have to I 610 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: would not steal that, Danny, because as you know, I 611 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 1: do not steal ideas. That's perfect because then the competition 612 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,360 Speaker 1: will get even more heated, because I want an hour 613 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,719 Speaker 1: to myself being interviewed by the great Ben Mallard. Oh 614 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 1: that would be that is yeah, they would love that. 615 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 1: The guys that I get emails all the time, I 616 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:41,800 Speaker 1: want to be on the fifth hour, this, that and 617 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,800 Speaker 1: the other thing.
