If you thought four hours a day, twelve 0:00:04.559 --> 0:00:08.119 hundred minutes a week was enough, think again. He's the 0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:12.200 last remnants of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. 0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:15.360 He treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as 0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:19.400 the rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow. The Clearinghouse 0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:23.160 of Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:32.479 Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere, 0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:35.840 hanging out in the audio dojo. It's the Fifth Hour 0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:38.519 with Ben Maller and Danny Gee. And it is the 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:44.560 Sunday Bonus edition of The Fifth Hour, And that means 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:51.680 we get down and dirty. How about Ketty. The safety 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:55.600 net is off, Danny. We're gonna be bobbing and weaving 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:59.280 in the mailbox like Creed three. I saw that last 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:02.240 weekend at a theater. How was that? Did you have 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:05.319 popcorn when you went to the movies? Did you get snacks? Yeah? 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:09.000 We do popcorn and a slushy? Now did you mix 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:13.760 any chocolate with the popcorn? No? But last weekend we 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:16.320 did get a little thing of red vines to go 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:19.800 with the popcorn. Okay, yeah, Because I gotta tell you 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:24.319 the chocolate the sugar and the salt. You combine those together, 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:26.920 and it's chef's kiss, is what the Oh I know 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:29.959 my mom she used to make the popcorn at home 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.600 because she was a cheapo, and then she would take 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:37.199 ziplock bags and she'd put peanut Eminem's mixed with the popcorn, 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.520 seal it up, throw it at you and be like, here, 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.280 go to the movies. You fil the animal. That's a 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:45.960 good mom move. That's a solid because she your mom 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:50.080 realized that that is the magic. I've said this many times. 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:53.520 Olive cooking is just combining fat, salt, sugar, all those things, 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:57.120 like the proper mix. It's all you're doing in the kitchen. 0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:00.520 But it's it's awesome. Oh man, it's so great that 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.240 that bliss point. Everyone's trying to find that bliss point 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:08.600 in eating. And if you do that, you got me 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.600 excited for a Sunday morning breakfast. As soon as we 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:15.400 get done with ask Ben two point zero. No no, no, no, no, 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:18.000 This is not asked Ben. This is the mail bag 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.200 we spill the beans, Danny. This is a much different 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:28.400 segment of radio. This sounds nothing like ask Ben. People do. 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:31.600 There's no confusion. If this were to go to the 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:37.440 Supreme Court. They would say, these are two totally different entities. Good, 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:42.040 don't don't look at me like that. I don't need 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:44.720 you to look at me like that. Okay, I'm telling you. 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:50.519 I can't emphasize that enough. I'm experienced, Dear Danny, I've 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:54.560 done this a couple of times, and I'm a savvy 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:58.320 better and this is a much different segment. Let's bring 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:16.040 in Ohio l. All right, it's my man Ohio awl 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:23.120 yet again, dazzling as always, the sound on the countryside 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:28.120 of Ohio al in the background leading us in. So 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.840 wherever we go, whatever po dunk backwater place we go 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.839 in the mailbag. Now, first up on the mailbag, Big 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.440 Greg in Iowa writes in. He says, dear Ben and 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:44.440 Daddy Danny g Daddy, although I prefer name that too. 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:50.880 Ruined Fox has the masked singer going on Wednesday nights, 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:58.720 Big Greg points out, and he then says, if they 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:03.240 were to ask through your bosses, of course, or who 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:07.000 whomever they'd reach out to to get in contact with you, 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:12.240 would you do the mass singer show? And he says, Ben, 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:16.080 how awful would it be to find a tall enough 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:21.880 outfit for you. Well, and this guy Greg gets it. 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.200 He knows that we are big stars in the Fox 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:29.719 universe and that we would be perfect. Like I would 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:33.400 get on there and i would do the jitterbug Foo Drizzle. 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.720 I'd start out now, I would I would start out 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.880 doing the jitterbug, I'd move into the Charleston and then 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.720 maybe if we had enough time, the chat chat chop 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.520 that would be. That would be how I would do it, 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.920 and it would be you imagine the hosts of that 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:53.520 show when they did your unveiling. They always shoot for 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:57.520 the moon with their guesses, Bradley Cooper, and then they 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.800 would take your mask off and they'd be like, who 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:02.919 the fuck is this? How the fuck this guy gets? 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.120 Get Fox A Security, Get this idiot out of here. 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:09.040 Who put this guy in here? Shame on you? And 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:11.920 but no, I'm the guy that did the dipsy, do 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:16.240 the docy, do the whole thing. Come on. That show 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:21.400 is for C list celebrities, not D list celebrities. Well 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.200 you you're very kind to say you're a D list. 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.880 I'm more of a z Z list generation. I was 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.760 calling you a D list. No, No, I'm below d 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:32.360 I'm I'm the Z. I'm the Z guy. I'm right 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.680 there at the very bottom. But thank you, Greg, I 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:36.240 would I would have a lot of fun. I'm not 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:40.279 a great dancer unless nobody knows who I am. If 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:43.160 I had a mask on and I was out there 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.200 just kind of doing my thing, and I think I'd 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:52.160 be a really good dancer if I thought no one 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.960 would ever find out that it was me in the costume. 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:58.000 Like we have to be like nineteen twenty style, like 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.880 New Year's Z for you. Well, I could do the 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:03.960 humpy you know, I could do the humpy dance. You know, 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:11.760 come on, pimping, got your tims off. Yeah, that was 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:15.200 modern when we were ten years old. About the name, 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.479 I could do the whip name, I can't do it. 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:26.920 That's you could do. What about the salsa? You want 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.240 to see me salsa dance? I could no? Thank you 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:35.720 all passed the samba? No anyway. Next up is Andy 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:42.400 from Hollywood in the Hood, in HollyHood, slap me around 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.720 a little bit. No, this is my guy and he 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:46.680 lives right near that Tommy's off the one on one. 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:50.000 I used to sit there and eat my right, that's right. 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:54.200 What's up Andy? My triple chili cheeseburgers and fries and 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:57.600 watch all the crazy drug down people come down from 0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.920 the sunset trip and eat their burgers and fries and 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:04.120 all that in chili. And he says, howdy, gentlemen, have 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:07.279 not written in ages. Still diligently listen to the radio 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:13.120 show and obediently download all the casts, enjoy them all. However, 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.600 and he says, I am this is a quote. I'm incensed. 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:23.120 How dare you Ben encourage Roberto to delete the go 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:28.440 King Eddie drop. It is the connective tissue fusing the 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.760 different eras of the show and makes me laugh out 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:35.800 loud every time, no matter where I am, Go King 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:42.920 Eddie Go. He says, I love the the Mallarin Danige lifehacks, 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.880 like the chicken sauce dip from Costco. Well, that was 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:51.119 actually from Walmart. The chicken was from Costco. Yeah, rip 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:55.480 off Chick fil At sandwiches. Nobody emailed me to say 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.120 they tried that, so I guess nobody did. But the 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:02.160 sauce was from Walmart. The chicken sandwich was from Costco. 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:06.920 So he says, any other inflation busting your life enhancing pointers, 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:11.920 it might be a good fifth hour segment says, happy Spring. 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:17.200 That's Andy, our friend in the hood in Hollywood. Danny 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:19.760 got anything to save a couple of bucks. We usually 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.760 mention these things when they come up, right. Yeah, I 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.840 mean this is regional because I don't think Alpoyo Locos 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.680 all over the country. But you could probably do this 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:33.600 at a local chicken slash Mexican spot. Get there bean 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:38.360 and cheese burrito. There's the BRC burrito at Elpoyo Loco, 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:41.720 which is on the West Coast. And then I get 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:45.120 a chicken breast on the side, I peel the chicken, 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:48.800 put it in with their creamy cilantro sauce, and I 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:52.480 make my own chicken burrito and it is two dollars 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:57.600 cheaper than any chicken burrito on their menu. Oh that's 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:01.560 a pretty good move. I like that. I have. I've 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:05.480 heard some McDonald's hacks. I'll have to share. I'll have 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:08.079 to share some of the things I don't have on 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:12.320 top of my head. And yeah, I will definitely do 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.080 more of that, Andy, because we are tight wahs and 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:17.640 everyone's got to save a couple of bucks these days, 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:21.079 with the way the economy is and everything's so ridiculous. 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:24.640 I did hear a car hack, a rental car hack 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:29.959 that if you rent a car, you say you're renting 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:33.960 a car for a week, and they charge you, I 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.720 don't know, four hundred dollars for the week or something 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:39.040 like that, which is a probably a good deal these days. 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:43.840 Just the date. I've heard that sometimes what you can 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.280 do is you can adjust the date for a couple 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:48.160 of days extra that you don't even need the car. 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:52.679 It'll actually be cheaper. It'll be cheaper to rent the car. 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:54.800 And then what you do is when you're done with 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.480 the car, you turn the car in early and sometimes 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.880 I'll even give you a bigger discount. How crazy is that? 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:04.120 Like a reward almost? Yeah, Like you turned the car 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:06.520 in early and they're grateful and so they'll give you 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:10.800 a little extra money back. So that's that's kind of cool. 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:14.200 And I did get one of those travel cards where 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:17.040 you get points because we'll be doing a lot of 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:22.240 mini road trips and flights this year to different locations, 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:25.280 and so we've got one of those credit cards they 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:27.200 tell you to use I was reading up on it. 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:29.960 They tell you to use one credit card, have a 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:33.760 favorite airline, and only use that airline. That way, you 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:39.000 actually get some decent points. Otherwise not so much. Not 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:44.000 so much. Next up on the mailbag, Mike from Fullerton, 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:50.280 no relation to furg Dog says, last week, you guys 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:53.520 brought up Vinyl outselling CDs for the first time in 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:57.920 thirty five years. I thought that was pretty neat. So 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.360 I was wondering if either of you think VHS or 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:06.600 Beta Max will make a similar comeback against DVDs and 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:11.080 Blu rays. Ah. Did you hear what's going on with 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:16.480 Blockbuster Video? No, what happened perfect timing for Ferg. I 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:21.040 mean Mike's question here. Just a couple of days ago, 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:27.160 a story popped up about Blockbuster their website has come 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:31.760 back to life suddenly, and they put a message on 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:37.720 their website saying please be kind while we rewind. Oh, 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:43.280 there's lots of speculation out there. Does this mean they're 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:47.360 gonna start to open up more stores, because obviously they 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:51.080 went bankrupt just over a decade ago and there's only 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:56.400 one location left, which they did that documentary on in Bend, Oregon. 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.760 So either this is just a ploy and they're gonna 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:04.319 sell merchandise and stuff like that, or there's rumblings that 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:08.719 the retro movement like with vinyl, could come back with 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.960 video stores. I don't buy it. I'll tell you why, 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:15.959 because the DVD is a better quality than the VHS tape. 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:19.000 So why like the argument, I don't think they would 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.840 do VHS tapes there. They would probably do Blu Ray 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:25.000 I'm guessing. But even that is most people are just 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:28.840 streaming these days, right, isn't that the that's what everyone's doing? True? 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:32.840 But I would argue this, what's the last electronic device 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:36.920 that most of us own where we did watch movies, 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:39.920 and that's Blu Ray. Like I have a Blu Ray 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:44.559 player still with my TV gear. I still can't get 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:46.760 over the story that Blockbuster Video had a chance to 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:52.040 eliminate Netflix and they didn't. They didn't take advantage of it. Oh, 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:56.160 I know, talk about kicking yourself in the ass. For 0:12:56.400 --> 0:13:00.280 how many years now, every night those executives got to 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:02.960 go to bed knowing they made one of the worst 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:06.120 decisions ever. That was one of the coolest things though, 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:08.280 when you'd go to Blockbuster Video and you'd find that 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.720 new movie and there was one left and you'd grab it, 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:13.160 you'd snatch it, and it's like, oh, that was the 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:15.080 coolest thing yet, or you would get one of the 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:18.559 employees to look through the return been oh yeah, yeah, 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.040 yeah that too, Yeah, that was awesome, And I was like, oh, 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:24.360 and the candy packages right at the front when you 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:29.120 were checking out solid good memories Blockbuster videos, like what 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:31.200 are you doing this weekend? We're going to Blockbuster to 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:35.360 find something to watch Blockbuster and chill. Then you'd get 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.840 there and they'd have no good fucking movies, so you'd 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:41.040 end up watching some old movie. But you're like, yeah, 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:44.199 that's all you had, And there was that distinct smell 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:49.800 inside every Blockbuster. Mike also says, have either of you 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.560 ever been drunk or high on the air before? I 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.400 think you can tell the truth on the fifth hour 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:58.040 without getting in trouble. So I've only been drunk on 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:02.000 the air one time, and I've told the story randomly 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.400 in the past. I haven't told a long time. This 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:09.080 is back in the late nineties. I was doing a 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:13.400 nighttime show in LA It was a new sports station 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:20.480 and we got preempted for Olympic women's hockey, which was 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:23.320 like a trial sport. It wasn't even like a real thing. 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:25.600 But the boss is like, oh, we're going to carry 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:28.480 the network feed and we wanted to do the show. 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:30.080 We were like, we know, who the hell in LA 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:32.520 wants to hear a women's hockey game on the radio. 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:34.680 And we were like, we want to do the show. 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:37.360 And he's like, NA, no, no, he's we're gonna carry this. 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:42.400 But the feed the Olympics were overseas. I don't remember 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.840 what country they were in, you can look it up. 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:47.720 But the guys, the boss at the time, this guy 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:50.960 Bow is like, all right, listen. He said, just kind 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.000 of you gotta be the station. You guys can go 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.920 out and have a nice meal. I'm probably not gonna 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.880 need you, but just be in the area in case 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:03.880 we need need to fill some time after the Olympic 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:07.440 coverage gets done. So we were like all right. And 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:11.280 this was in Burbank. We went to Dults, which is 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.640 a legendary. It's not there. It's been gone for many 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.160 many years, probably been gone for twenty years. But this 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:22.400 place was amazing. It was sandwiched right near Warner Brothers 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:25.560 studios that was on one side. On the other side 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:27.840 he had all the radio stations, all the big radio 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:32.000 stations in LA had studios and so it was all 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:34.920 radio people, TV people. This was back in the nineties. 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:36.120 I used to hang out there all the time. It 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:38.800 was like our local, our local spot. That's where I 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:42.760 first met Pat O'Brien. Pob Wow. We had a giant. 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:45.760 He was doing that entertainment show and he had a giant. 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:51.120 And this location wasn't that far from your favorite karaoke spot, right, Oh, 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:53.080 it was right down the street from Dimple's. Yeah, right 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:56.120 down the street. So this was back when Drew Carey 0:15:56.280 --> 0:16:00.520 was big and sein fell like that area that era 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.000 of television, and a lot of the actors from those 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:06.320 shows and the people on the crew after they were 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:10.960 done taping, they would come hang out and have chicken fingers. Anyway, 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:13.680 long story short, So the boss is like, you just 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:17.080 hang out in the area. Well, the restaurant was in 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:21.000 the next building over these two skyscrapers. It was the 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:25.080 next building over. I say skyscrapers is Burbank, So they 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:28.200 were probably like fourteen stories whatever. But we went over 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:31.080 to the next building. We were eating and drinking and 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.480 and whatever, and then we were about to, you know, 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:38.280 go on our merry way and the boss called. It 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.040 wasn't even a text. This is back in the days. 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:43.600 We you call said, hey, I need you to get 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:46.200 back on. You gotta get back to the radio station. 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:50.680 I probably need you for about half an hour. Oh yeah. 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:54.680 So now we walked back across the street, you know, 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:58.560 and feeling feeling no pain. We get back across the street, 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:03.320 and I'll never forget the late Mark Smith, my engineer. 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:08.560 May he rest in peace. Mark. Mark was this interesting 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:12.880 character who, Yeah, he came from maybe the wrong part 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:14.680 of town, but for him, it was the great part 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:17.080 of town. And if we screwed something up, Mark was 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:19.240 the kind of engineer that would come in and he 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:22.639 had these massive fists. He was from Englewood, and he 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:26.199 would punch. He would literally punch us if we screwed up. 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:30.320 And it was the The Ben and Dave Show with 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:35.000 this guy Dave Smith. And I don't even remember what 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:37.360 was going on. All I know is that Mark kept 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:39.480 coming in and punching me in the arm and the 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:44.600 side of the head. I just kept finishing sentences with 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:48.879 curse words. Oh yeah, like I just I didn't realize 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:50.720 I was so I was so inebriated. I didn't know 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:53.160 what's going on. So that's the only time that happened. 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:56.840 What about you, Danny? Any stories going back I told 0:17:56.920 --> 0:18:00.720 the story last week about being drunk on Saint Patty's 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:03.480 Day on the air, where I said Happy Mother's Day. 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:06.520 At the end, I've only been high on the air 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:10.800 one time on an FM station. Our general manager used 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:13.600 to tell all of us in staff meetings, He's like, look, 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:17.320 I'm not naive. I know you guys all smoke weed. 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:19.600 You do hip hop for a living. I get it, 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:22.800 But do not smoke right before you go on the microphone. 0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:27.520 Smoke away from work, at the club, whatever, outside the club, 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:31.080 don't smoke outside the studio. Do not be high on 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:34.400 the air. You're not going to get good results. Smoke weed. 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:39.000 I didn't smoke a lot back then, but yeah, maybe 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:41.560 a couple of times a week. And I smoked at 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:44.840 one time because I was in pain a bad back 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:47.679 or something at the time, all right, from lifting all 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:52.440 those hoes at the club, and I smoked and went 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:56.800 on the air. I was having like blank spots where 0:18:56.840 --> 0:19:00.560 I couldn't put together my next sentence. And remember bringing 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:03.879 the traffic girl in and she said, are you okay, 0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:08.600 went into the restroom, splashed some cold water on my face. 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:13.600 Don't don't shit where you eat, right, And the same 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:16.879 thing obviously working with school and with kids, and we 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:19.920 would get tested. And so at that point I'm like, well, 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:23.080 I'm not going to smoke at all anymore because obviously, 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:25.640 you know, if you're gonna be tested and or you're 0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:28.720 gonna be around kids, that's not a place to smoke either. 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:31.880 So basically, jobs took all the fun out of smoking 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:35.560 back in the day. Having a grow up, it's yeah boo, 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:39.080 Pierre writes in on the mail bag Pierre from the 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:43.120 Short Attention Span Theater. He says, guys, how devastated will 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:47.359 you be when they banned TikTok in the United States? So, Pierre, 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:51.840 on a scale of one to ten, I on devastation 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:55.840 the Mallard scale of devastation for TikTok possibly being banned, 0:19:56.400 --> 0:20:01.920 I am at a solid minus one. I don't use TikTok. 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:04.119 It has no impact. I mean, I'm not on there. 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:07.159 The only time I see TikTok videos are when Pierre 0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:10.200 sends them to me or some other listeners. Seriously, I'm 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:12.560 not I'm not in that world. Are you on TikTok? Danny? 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:16.000 You're not on there? No, But I do get links 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:20.400 from TikTok sent to me by Coveno all the time 0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:24.200 from Covino and Rich. So once in a while there'll 0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:28.480 be some sort of sports video or TMZ type video 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:31.080 and they're like, hey, we need the audio from this. 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:35.080 That is the only time I use TikTok. Yeah, I'm not. 0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:37.680 I'm not in that world of TikTok. But I know 0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:40.240 Pierre Man. He's on there. He's going for it. He's 0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:43.000 on there all the time. He loves the TikTok and 0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:47.879 everything that they have to offer. He's doing the hokey 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:51.440 pokey and the whole thing. Next up Fred from Spring 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:53.520 Texas Everyboddy Fred Wrights and he says, Hi, there, you 0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:56.760 said last week that you had the rights to Benny 0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:00.119 versus the penny. Do you have the rights for in 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:06.480 the air everywhere? Fred? No, No, I do not. I 0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:08.440 like the phrase. I've used it a lot. I don't 0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:09.920 think I owned the rights to that. I don't know 0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:12.280 that you can't own the rights of that. So the 0:21:12.400 --> 0:21:15.840 answer is a big n oh. Hey, say, just keep 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:18.040 up the good work. Barry from Nashville Rights and says, 0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:21.320 yo yo mo Benny. He says, you have been doing 0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:24.240 the sports overnight for a long time. Would you ever 0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:28.480 consider jumping from sports to a non sport old program. 0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:33.480 For instance, if the hosting of the Coast to Coast 0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:37.240 program became available, would you do that. I would love 0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:39.960 to sit in on Coast to Coast one night. I 0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:42.439 think that would be a lot of fun if they 0:21:42.520 --> 0:21:45.399 ever needed someone to pinch it on Coast to Coast, 0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:47.560 like on the weekends or something like that. If I know, 0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:49.600 George does it during the week and then they've got 0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:53.480 George Knapp and some other cats that fill it on 0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:54.960 the weekends. But I would I think that would be 0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:57.359 a lot of fun. What did you make of that 0:21:57.600 --> 0:22:01.439 story last week where people report did those comment looking 0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:05.480 things that were trailing each other in the sky? Yeah? 0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:07.879 I think if I was on Coast to Coast I 0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:10.359 could have done four hours on that. I could have like, 0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:13.040 I totally could have knocked that out of the park. 0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:15.560 But yeah, it wouldn't be fun to sit there with 0:22:15.680 --> 0:22:17.520 some I feel like I do that anyway. I talk 0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:19.760 to people that believe in a lot of that stuff, 0:22:20.359 --> 0:22:23.240 and they just happened to be sports fans, you know 0:22:23.280 --> 0:22:25.880 what I mean. Yeah, I was gonna say you could 0:22:25.960 --> 0:22:29.800 have half of your regular callers still call in. Yeah, 0:22:30.200 --> 0:22:32.359 I wouldn't be shocked at half our regular callers when 0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:34.840 they get done calling our show, they call the coast 0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:37.680 to coast. When they get done, they move over there. Yeah, 0:22:38.640 --> 0:22:41.280 wouldn't shock me at all if that was what was 0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:44.520 going on. Next up, Thank you Barry, though my man 0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:48.000 Barry in the Music City. Ozzy was from Western Australia, 0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:51.119 right since, says dear Ben big Ben and Daddy G. 0:22:51.440 --> 0:22:55.959 I stuffed up and I think, well, he says, stuffed up, 0:22:56.119 --> 0:22:57.840 And in the United States we say screwed up. In 0:22:57.840 --> 0:23:00.199 Australia he says stuffed up. I says, I stuffed up, 0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:03.080 And I didn't actually send my question last week. Bad 0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:06.399 job by me. I did not hit the send button. 0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:10.480 But here we go. You have started daylight savings time 0:23:11.000 --> 0:23:15.399 over there, while good for me, I get one extra 0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:20.800 hour of the Mallar Show and now only one of 0:23:21.080 --> 0:23:25.400 Colvino and Richest Show due to work hours. So here 0:23:25.480 --> 0:23:30.960 we go. Besides farmer not liking it, he says, or 0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:33.480 so I think he means my farmers not liking it, 0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:39.120 What is the funniest excuse for not having it? For example, 0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:44.280 he says. Over here in Australia, Ozzia says I heard 0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:48.359 with the extra hour of sunlight, my curtains will fade 0:23:48.560 --> 0:23:54.200 or I will lose an hour of my life. Yeah, 0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:57.600 so I don't know what you've heard, Danny. I've heard 0:23:57.800 --> 0:24:01.920 that everyone's pretty much in agreement there is no need 0:24:02.680 --> 0:24:06.320 for daylight savings time. We should just pick a time 0:24:06.680 --> 0:24:09.840 and just go with it. But the reason they haven't 0:24:09.920 --> 0:24:14.159 changed it is because a lot of the technology is 0:24:14.240 --> 0:24:16.760 not designed for just one time, so it would be 0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:19.840 a lot of work to fix the infrastructure, and it 0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:25.240 would take several years to get her done. Allegedly, So 0:24:25.359 --> 0:24:27.919 are you saying this is like the two K Millennium 0:24:28.640 --> 0:24:32.520 two thousand was about to roll around, everybody freaked out. 0:24:32.760 --> 0:24:36.320 The computers around the world are gonna crash. Yep, yep, yep. 0:24:36.720 --> 0:24:41.000 Don't be in an elevator, don't be anywhere near anything computerizer, 0:24:41.040 --> 0:24:46.359
