1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich

5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of hot takes,

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben

7
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: Maller starts right now in the air everywhere, the final

8
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: edition of the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller in Danny

9
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: g Radio. Here to close out this weekend of podcast.

10
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: But I will be back on the radio a good

11
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: chunk of this week, so I'm not taking my extended

12
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: vacation as I normally do. More on that later. Yes,

13
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: I know this podcast eight days a week. The radio

14
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: show with the podcast four hours a night, clearly not

15
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: enough on the overnight. Before we get into the mail bag, though,

16
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: Danny G. I mentioned on the Saturday podcast that I

17
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: watched an old Yankee game with the Red Sox and

18
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: George Steinbrenner, the old owner of the Yankees, who has

19
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: been dead for a long time, was interviewed and he

20
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: was asked about all the controversy in the Bronx. This

21
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: is a probably how old is this thirty five year old,

22
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: thirty six year old interview? This goes way back right

23
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: way Wait wait, wait back. So I was watching it

24
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: and I just loved what he said because it really

25
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: resonates to this day considering how much more money is

26
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: involved now. So I wanted to play that and then

27
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: we'll get into the mail bag. So this is again,

28
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: this is on an NBC broadcast from nineteen eight six.

29
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: So we're going in the hot tub time machine, and

30
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: this is the old, grumpy owner of the Yankees, George Steinbrenner,

31
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: and he's asked a question by Joe Garagiola and listened

32
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: to Steinbrenner's response, what about the turmoil it always seems

33
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: to surround the club? Well, you know turmoil. Well, no,

34
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: turmoil is with every baseball team. They haven't the San Diego,

35
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: they have it in the Middle West, they have it everywhere.

36
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: That's part of the game. And you know, I have

37
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: to laugh when guys say, well, it's a strain and

38
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: it's turmoil to play baseball in the Yankees, or for

39
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: four thousand dollar a year average salary, or for a

40
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: million six like our top player makes, they can take

41
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: a little turmoil. Let them go out and drive a

42
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: cab in New York if they want some real turmoil.

43
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: Imagine if an owner said that today, Danny. I mean,

44
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: what a good point he makes to shut up and

45
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: play and stop crying. Yeah. So when people and I

46
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: have a similar outlook, I mean, people say I I

47
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: bust a lot of balls and all that with athletes,

48
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: but I do think, listen, these there are a lot

49
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: more difficult jobs. I think working at a fast food

50
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: restaurant at rush hour, at in and out. We talked

51
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: about that, that is a much harder job to me

52
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: than playing for the Lakers or the Clippers or whoever,

53
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: whatever team you happen to like. Uh, and and there

54
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: are there's so many other things. We had a listener

55
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: on Facebook the other day who posted a list of

56
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: his deliveries as he delivers packages for Amazon. It's insane,

57
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: these guys going all over God's Green Earth to deliver packages.

58
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: And it's like, that's a much more difficult job then

59
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: it is playing in the NFL. And I have respect

60
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: with the NFL players and the baseball players, the basketball

61
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: players do, but let's let's have some perspective. There are

62
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: other people that have much more difficult jobs that are

63
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: getting paid peanuts for those jobs. I don't understand why

64
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: nobody's watching the guy deliver packages at Amazon and all that.

65
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: I get it, but still, yeah, I would never call

66
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: their jobs easy. But how coming all other walks of

67
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: life when you're well compensated, you're not allowed to complain

68
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: because you're told, hey, shut up, you're well compensated. Yeah. No, absolutely,

69
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: So that was the Steinbranner thing. That was great. Oh thay,

70
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: I'm glad. I'm glad you enjoyed that. I went back

71
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: and I dugged through us. I I gotta find the

72
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: exact moment I wanted to remember exactly where it was.

73
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: I was able to track down. Let's get to the

74
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: mail back here we go. Yes, it is in the bag.

75
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 1: Thanks to ohio Al for sending in that little ditty

76
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: way back in the day. And we played every week

77
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: to kick off the mail Bag. And this week's mailbag,

78
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: Danny g. We start off with an email from Pierre

79
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: in Springfield. I know this is very exciting. Here we

80
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: have our first email from Pierre. He's a friend of

81
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: Alf the Alien Opie. Yes we do. We have a

82
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: lot of mail this week, and uh, here. It is

83
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: so Pierre in Springfield, says Ben. Danny g uh Ben,

84
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: it seems like everything you do everything possible to keep

85
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: your loyal minions on the edge of our collective seats.

86
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: He says, whether it is posting the YouTube broadcast time

87
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: of Benny versus the penny five minutes in advance, or

88
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: being vague about your sabbatical. He says that being said,

89
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: some of us are only in He says the Benny business,

90
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: UH is talking about when I guess when I'm on

91
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: and don't listen when you're not on the live air.

92
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: Can you just ask a Roberto or anyone at fs

93
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: ARE with computer access to hit the record button and

94
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: play all of the show's drops for about six episodes

95
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: worth of the podcast content while you're enjoying you're well

96
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: deserved time off asking for a friend. Uh, That would

97
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: be great, but I'm pretty sure management would not sign

98
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: off on that, Danny. I don't think that management would

99
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: think that was such a great idea, and if we

100
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,119
Speaker 1: brought that up to management, management would come by shoot

101
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: that down. So your show does have a lot of

102
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 1: fun drops, half of which I personally reported in to

103
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: the computer system that it is true. Many of the

104
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: drops that we play today are all from that is

105
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: not fake news news. I spent a lot of hours, Mr.

106
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: Former President putting those in the next gen computer system,

107
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: and I would like a show like that. If you

108
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: recall when Roberto first took over for my old spot,

109
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: I helped him do a weekly segment you voted on

110
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: the best drop out of the three yes Yes, Battle

111
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: of the Drop, and that's because there were so many

112
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: good drops on your show. That is a good idea.

113
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: But I will say this, even the most loyal Ben

114
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: mallor fan who doesn't like it when you're actually taking

115
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: a vacation day, you know, give the programming a chance still,

116
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: because that is a fill in hosts opportunity to shine.

117
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: And I have produced many fill in hosts over the years,

118
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: and there's actually some fun times during those shifts because

119
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: those guys get a chance to be on the big

120
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: network and have a shift. Yeah, and that's what I

121
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: did when I was starting out. I was the filling

122
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: guy and then got more opportunity on the weekend and

123
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: then you know, it's still a filling guy for a while.

124
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, you got to give people a chance.

125
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: But you know, how people are, Danny. A lot of

126
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: people creatures a habit, and you just get used to

127
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: something and then you're used to that and you don't

128
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: want to get used to something else. But I give

129
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: it a try, give it a sample. You might as

130
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: well listen. And I think I get credit for that.

131
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: If you stop downloading the podcast, I think that hurts me.

132
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: So keep downloading the podcasting. Yeah, Kevin in Kansas writes,

133
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: and he says, dear Ben Danny, g uh. He says,

134
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: but now that life in the north Woods is normalizing,

135
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: do you have any marathon walks? Plan? Is your new

136
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: neighborhood conductive to your long walks where maybe you can

137
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: find laundry hampers and such. That's the famous story at

138
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: the old place, I was walking and somebody had left

139
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: a professional industry grade undry cart on the side of

140
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: the road, and I walked by, and I walked for

141
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: like another hour, and then I came home and I said,

142
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: if that thing is still there, I'm getting it's just

143
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: thrown on the side of the road, like in a

144
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: pile of trash. So I went. I put the the Mallamobile,

145
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: the SUV version of the Mountain Momobile, and I went

146
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: down there and I picked that piece of trash up

147
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: off the side of the road and I put it

148
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: in my car and I cleaned it up, and right

149
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: now is sitting Kevin in a storage shed. I do

150
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: have a bunch of areas I can walk in the

151
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: north Woods, but I haven't been able to do much

152
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: of that because of the schedule and everything. And I'm

153
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: really excited. I'm hoping by the time I go on

154
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: my end of year sabbatica, when I come back, I

155
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 1: will have access to my treadmill and that will be

156
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: That will be the big thing, because I need I

157
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: can go in after the show. It's a little awkward

158
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: to walk around in the middle of the night. People

159
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: think you're up to no good and I'd rather avoid

160
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: having to deal with that. So and also with the

161
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: low being thirty thirty nine degrees here in California, we

162
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: curl up in the fetal position. Yes, when the temperature

163
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: gets to the thirties. Yes, we are warm blooded and

164
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: do not do well. We don't have thick blood and

165
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: that is a problem. Right, who is next year come back?

166
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,599
Speaker 1: It's the little car that's right. R J in the

167
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: sane Antnio rights, and he says, hey, guys, did you

168
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: ever watch late night talk shows and which ones were

169
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: your favorites? Yeah? I did, I loved I was a

170
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: huge David Letterman fan when I was growing up, when

171
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: he was on the late Late after the Tonight Show

172
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: on NBC. But everyone and we're of the age day

173
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: we were kids, that's what people watched was late night,

174
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: like the late night talk shows that they got massive ratings,

175
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: I mean unbelievably massive, huge amounts to people that used

176
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: to watch those late night shows. And it's really segmented now,

177
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: and they've really become more I feel like, more politicized

178
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: definitely than they used to be. And so it's in

179
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: terms of the audience now compared to what it used

180
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: to be. It's yeah, like if I was a Letterman guy,

181
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: my mom used to watch the Johnny Carson Show, so

182
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: we watched that. I was just gonna say that my

183
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: mom was a Carson fan. My aunt, her sister was

184
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: a big Letterman fan. So when I would visit my cousin,

185
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: they'd always have Letterman on. So I got to watch

186
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: both shows depending on where I was, either in l

187
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: A or the Bay Area. Both really great shows and

188
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: of course, all of the beef that Letterman had with

189
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: NBC would spill over onto the airwaves, and it was

190
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: pretty fun to watch him slam his employer all the time. Yeah. Yeah,

191
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: you felt like you were watching something you weren't supposed

192
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: to be watching. There was a special there's a uniqueness

193
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: that nobody else was doing at that time that led

194
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: Himan didn't. I used to love it because he dropped,

195
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: like he'd go do a recorded segment where he'd go

196
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: to a parking garage in New Jersey and dropped ten

197
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: pounds a large just to see what it looked like

198
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: when it hit the ground, and it was just hilarious.

199
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: Or you drop a bowling ball or a couple of

200
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: bowling balls off. So yeah, are you I have fond

201
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: memories of that back in the day. Let's see who

202
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: is next on the mail bag page down page, Yes

203
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: we do. Jennifer in Richmond, Virginia, right. Since she says,

204
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny g Hello, Ben, you make me laugh

205
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: with all the sound effects. Well, I'm glad somebody likes

206
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: the sound effects. It's my opportunity to play goofy soundways. Uh,

207
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: and she says, anyway, you played Ralphie from the Simpsons

208
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 1: last week already forgot what he said, But do you

209
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: also have him saying I sleep in a drawer? If not,

210
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: is there any way you can get that. I looked

211
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: for that, I did not find that. The only other

212
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: Ralph drop I could find was this one. Yeah, I

213
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 1: don't know. I've got a good one. I don't know.

214
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's it, uh Ralph approved. But

215
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: you and your drops man, we were just talking about that.

216
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: How Roberto has those buttons in front of him nowadays,

217
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: and before that, I had all those buttons in front

218
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: of me on the podcast set up here. Used to

219
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: see Ben with his buttons and you get a big

220
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 1: smile on your face buttons pop up on the screen. Oh,

221
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: it's so much fun. I love it. And I've got

222
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: a lot, but they're all they're not in order, and

223
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: I can't really on this thing that I'm using, I

224
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: can't really put them in order like I have. This

225
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: is my coop drop smoke. Yeah, but that's up at

226
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: the top and I need that at the lower level.

227
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: And then we ever talked about the Minnesota vikings, and

228
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: now you have more of an appreciation for the timing

229
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: skill and technique it takes to place a proper drop. Yeah, No,

230
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: there's always felt like you don't You don't want to

231
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: put the drop in at the wrong time because that

232
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: becomes a big problem. You know, that's not you don't

233
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: want that you needed at the right time. Yeah, you

234
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: have to wait for a breath, and you know with

235
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: you breaths don't come often. Dead air is the death

236
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: of radio, you know, correct on that? Alright, Moving on, Jennifer,

237
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: she did have a question. I think that was our

238
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: only question about Rob. So I don't have the drop.

239
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: Do you have any Ralphie drops over there? Danny old?

240
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: Any from the Simpsons? I can find one and all

241
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: inserted into the podcast here, she's touching my special area.

242
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: I won't win in my mouth and then I ate it.

243
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: Can I have a new one? Ralphie? All right? Chris

244
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: in Marraccona, Iowa, says, Ben, does your wife or wives

245
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: get upset with you watching so much sports in your

246
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: free time? How often does it's my job work on them? Well, Danny,

247
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: this is the same thing for you now that you

248
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: are in a a long term relationship. So I try

249
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: to be very polite, uh A. During the week. The

250
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: way I get ready for the show is I usually

251
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: have a game or two on at night kind of

252
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: in the background. I'm watching it with half an eye,

253
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to get notes together for the monologue.

254
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: So and then when the game. Usually the cool thing

255
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: about a lot of these games, like in the n

256
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: b A, I don't really have to pay attention to

257
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: the end because most of these games are decided in

258
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: the final three minutes of the game, so I can

259
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: kind of look with half an I Football is much

260
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: harder because I try to really pay attention to it,

261
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: and that becomes more problematic on Thursday and Monday and

262
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: Sunday night. Um, so those are the nights. But like

263
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: on UH, the shows off for us on Friday night

264
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: and Saturday, and I try to be really good about

265
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: not not forcing it. I'm able to watch a lot

266
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: of stuff on my phone, so I will sometimes will

267
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: be out if we're out at the all or something

268
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: like that, I'll pop on the phone I fing like

269
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: WiFi or something like that, and I'll watch watch some

270
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: college football or something like that. But I'm pretty pretty

271
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: good about it. But during the week I have to

272
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: do it for work, and She's pretty good, but she's

273
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: working too, so snow, big deal. What about you, Dannie,

274
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: Are you able to get away and watch the Raiders

275
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: or whoever you want to watch on the weekend? Yeah,

276
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: my chick fil a. She's really good about sports being

277
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: on TV A because she knows how much I love sports.

278
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: She also has a couple of boys who love sports

279
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: and their Raider fans. Her family are Raider fans and

280
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: big Dodger fans. Basketball is really the only thing that's

281
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: been hard to watch with her because, like you just said,

282
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: the biggest action happens at the end of the basketball games.

283
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: So if I'm watching an NBA game in the first quarter,

284
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: she thinks I'm wasting my time because she's like, why

285
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: don't you just turn it on at the very end.

286
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: She's not wrong, but she's not the only way you're

287
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: not wasting your time is if there's a massive fight

288
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: or an injury. Other than that, you're you're absolutely wasting

289
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: your time. As far as NFL Sunday goes, I got

290
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: the ticket before the season began, and she's a really

291
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: good host, cooks up really good football food. I give

292
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: her a lot of props for that, So no no issues.

293
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: Where I'm at Bend. I could not get along with

294
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: somebody who didn't let me watch sports. Yeah, my wife's

295
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: not really into the but she's allows me to do

296
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: she knows I have to do it, and and she

297
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: likes to go to games. She loves to go to

298
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: games that you never liked to watch the games on TV.

299
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: She loves going to Dodger Stadium or whatever and seen

300
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: a game. And I haven't really been able to do

301
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: that much recently, but hopefully sooner than later we'll get

302
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: back out going to games and you're busy in the

303
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: press box. She's not allowed up there. Although I don't

304
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: even go to I don't even I've really been doing

305
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: that much. I've been to a few NFL games, and

306
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: I got my routine everything set up. I've settled into

307
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: my habit of where I do the show. I have

308
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: my own studio set up up, the home studio, and

309
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: so I'm kind of in here most of the time.

310
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: And someday we'll have to retell the story about how

311
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: much food used to steal out of the press box.

312
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: Oh my god, let me tell you back in the day,

313
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: that was Big Benny days. The reason they had to

314
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: change the name of Staples Center is because I ate

315
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: so much food back in the day, they needed more money.

316
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: Real sad story, Danny. That was pretty what happened there anyway.

317
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: Next up on the mail bag, that's right all right, uh,

318
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 1: Valls fan Jimmy from Fayetteville, Tennessee. He writes in, Uh says,

323
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,360

324
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: and I've I've talked with him on Twitter. Yeah, he's

325
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: got but calling the short you can tell he's not

326
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: a faith he's not. He's not somebody that like moved

327
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: to Tennessee when he was thirty. No, No, he's living

328
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: the life. He's living the life there, absolutely all right.

329
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: Next up, Tammy in Montana rights in. She says, yes, yes,

330
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: Danny has a sexy voice too. She says, yeah, we

331
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: talked last week, but gascon and she says, of all

332
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: the people that could have replaced David, Danny Gee is

333
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: the one that will do a great job keeping up

334
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: the friendly banter. Tammy says, keep working hard on the

335
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: podcast content and keeping you in line, just as David

336
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: did not. David did not keep me in line. That's

337
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: bull crap. How dare you? And she says, have you

338
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: heard of Helen has choked on her arrogance? Yet? She says, well,

339
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: this is continuing here the I know. Calm down, She says,

340
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 1: have you heard of Helen has choked down her arrogance? Yet?

341
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: Let Helen know that the cockroaches and rats that live

342
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: in her house do not count as knowing people. Well,

343
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: this is vicious. That's a Tammy and Montana the back

344
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: and forth, and right from that we have Helen and

345
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: Stu from palmetto Bay. They wrote back. They have their

346
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: reply in the Octagon on the fifth hour, and this

347
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: one says to Mallard Claus, North Pole, California, a last

348
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 1: minute present request. Turns out that all Tammy and Montana

349
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: wants for Christmas are her two front false teeth. The

350
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: great news is that after watching the latest Benny versus

351
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: the Petty video, Stu and I noticed that her boyfriend

352
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: David Gascon has plenty of uh moose sized and bright

353
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 1: Hollywood cap teeth to spare. Wow, I don't think those

354
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: are those fake. I don't think those are fake. I

355
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: don't know, and they maybe they maybe even years then then,

356
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: but they really don't like they said at last count,

357
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: Gascon has three extra sets of incisors, canines, and Moehler's

358
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: of course no wisdom teeth. If he did, he'd still

359
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: be on the fifth hour. Wow. Shots fired. Well, they

360
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: were demanding the departure of David. Uh. The message continues

361
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:25,479
Speaker 1: from Helen and Stu. The angry Well, I don't think

362
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: they're angry, just having fun. Uh, couple, they're they're very,

363
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: very divisive here, the Mallew Militia. You are under attack here,

364
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: Helen and Stu, It says Benny in all seriousness during

365
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: these ongoing challenging social times. Happy mench holiday to you, Aaron,

366
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: now Danny Chocolate. That's right. We learned on the original

367
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: episode that you were on. You are part of the

368
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: Great Gara Deli Chocolate family. Uh, says the entire Ben

369
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: Mallory Show crew and the Mallard Militia, including Yes, Tammy

370
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: and Montana. For another outstanding year of not so serious

371
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: sports talk entertainment like Mallard claws on a fire truck.

372
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: Our support for you will remain in the air everywhere.

373
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 1: That's from Helen and still all people very nicely. A

374
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: nice way to end the Tupac Biggie beef there or

375
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: the beef. The beef is still going, but it was

376
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: just a holiday truth for a moment. Yeah, that the

377
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: beef was not ended, Danny. It's it will continue for

378
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: for a long time, but they'll pick it up after

379
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: the new year. Uh. Let's see John in Dallas right

380
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: since his last week, I adopted a rescue dog and

381
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: unlike all the other dogs and cats that I have had,

382
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: this one is a female. And then John and Dallas says,

383
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 1: can you and Danny g give me some fatherly advice

384
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: on what it is like to live with a bit? Okay, well, yeah,

385
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: your Bella is a female dog, so I do have

386
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 1: she is that that is the technical term. We're not

387
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: being offensive at all. A female dog is a bitch.

388
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: And I moved in with a bit recently. You have

389
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: a female at Daisy, little Daisy the dog. She fits

390
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: in the palm of your hands. Man. She's a small dog,

391
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: but she also thinks that she is a guard dog.

392
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: So she's one of those where in her mind she's

393
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 1: protecting the entire house, but in actuality, your big toe

394
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: could move her away. Yeah. And and Bella's got a

395
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: it must be the little Napoleon complex in the dog community.

396
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what the dogs uses the Napoleon complex,

397
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: but yeah, Bella is like the Bella. She's a boss

398
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: dog and she's she's the boss bitch. And uh, if

399
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: I don't give her a treat, she'll like pot me.

400
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 1: If I don't scratch her back before I go to bed,

401
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: she gets very upset and starts out, and then she'll

402
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: wake me up sometimes in the middle of the night.

403
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: And I didn't have I never had a male dog

404
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: do this like and I'm actually happy about it. When

405
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: she's got to go to the bathroom, she'll like stand

406
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: on my head and forced me to wake up to

407
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: take her out to go to the bathroom. So that's

408
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: not a bad thing. Yeah, And I mean for advice

409
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: getting a rescue, obviously, you just want to make them

410
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: feel as loved as possible because it's something that has

411
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: been inconsistent in their lives up to this point. Uh,

412
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: take them on lots of walks and get them lots

413
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: of toys and treats. Get a toy box, fill it

414
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 1: with tons of toys. Usually they'll only use one toy,

415
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: even though they have twelve toys in the box. Yeah,

416
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 1: and that's always the You think you found the perfect toy.

417
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: You you know your dog very much, and this is

418
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: the toy the dog will love, and then you pull

419
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: the wrapping off it. You excitedly give the dog the toy,

420
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: and the dog wants to run and play with the old,

421
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 1: disgusting toy. And what's nothing to do with the new

422
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: toy exactly. Daisy has a toy called Piggy, and Piggy

423
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: is really the only toy Daisy is interested. And even

424
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: though she has a toy box that has more toys

425
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: in it that I had when I was a kid. Yeah.

426
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: And the other thing, too, is then you'll inevitably try

427
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: to find an exact replica of the Piggy toy. And

428
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: that becomes a pain in the ass because these dog toys,

429
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: I have noticed a high turnover and dog toys where

430
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: and if I made dog toys too, every year I

431
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: would come out with new toys because you don't want

432
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: what's what's the point of doing the same thing, so

433
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: I have noticed that, but good luck, good luck, good

434
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: luck with your rescue. Yeah, I am a fan of

435
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: the bitches. Absolutely. Barry in Music City says Yo Yo Mo,

436
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: Benny and Danny G. I love the Mallard Christmas songs.

437
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: Well good I hope you enjoyed the podcast. If you

438
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 1: guys have not heard the podcast on Friday, we played

439
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: as all the holiday songs that were submitted before Friday

440
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: and it made the air. We played one song that

441
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,959
Speaker 1: hasn't made the air yet and so check that out

442
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: on Friday. It's perfect for Christmas parties. You really want

443
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 1: to annoy your loved ones on Christmas play that would

444
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: be like, what the what the bleep and he bleep

445
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: is going on here? What happened? We're? We're are our

446
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: favorite Christmas songs? What happened here? Shocked the fuck? That's

447
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: probably what they'll tell you there. But anyway, uh Yo Yoma,

448
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: he says Barry, he says, uh, I'll have to check

449
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: out the Friday podcast again, Yes you will. And Benny,

450
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: what were your expectations when you put out the bat

451
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 1: signal for the maliss to come up with the Mallar

452
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: themed Christmas songs. Well, sure, Barry. At first, I was like, okay,

453
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: so maybe we'll get a couple of songs. I thought

454
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: if we got three songs, I'd be happy. Serious, I

455
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: didn't think we'd get more than maybe five at the most.

456
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: I said, if the show is doing really well, we'll

457
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: get five. And we ended up getting almost twenty five

458
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,719
Speaker 1: songs with with the songs that have been submitted, and

459
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: these are people that wrote lyrics, they obviously changed the

460
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 1: lyrics around and spend time. Some of these guys Mr

461
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: PC went into a recording studio. I mean, these are

462
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: not like boring boring, They're not I mean, they're good songs.

463
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: And so I was blown away by it. And it's

464
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: one of those things Danny too. When they kept coming in,

465
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: I was like, wait, we got another one. I'd wake

466
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: I'd wake up, and it's like there'd be one or

467
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: two songs like pretty much every day. And Coop was

468
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: getting some of the songs. I wasn't even seeing them

469
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 1: and then he would play them on the show and

470
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: I was like, whoa, that's I mean, that's crazy. So yeah,

471
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: the creativity that went into a lot of the songs

472
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: was just tremendous. Yeah, it was. It was a good job,

473
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: and I don't know that we can recreate that like

474
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: next year. That just kind of happened. Plus, we have

475
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 1: all the songs. As long as no one leaves the show,

476
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: we can still play the songs. Now, if somebody leaves

477
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: the show, then we're gonna have to have the lyrics

478
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: re written and all that stuff, and then that becomes problematic. Well,

479
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: you're in one of the you were in a couple

480
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: of songs. It's the old songs that listeners submitted. You

481
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: were in several of them back in the day, So

482
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: that was pretty cool. You alright, your show opens too.

483
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 1: And then when I wasn't on the show anymore, they

484
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: cut my voice out. Yeah, it's like Russia, you know,

485
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 1: Joseph Stalin just make you vanish. They make Lenin or

486
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: whoever back in the day, just in the uber driver

487
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 1: listening in New Jersey or just Jersey as they call. Uh.

488
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,479
Speaker 1: Since does everyone on Fox Sports Radio really hate Brian

489
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: Findley and particularly do you really hate having him on

490
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: the show or is it all in good fun? No,

491
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 1: I hate and Brian Finley some of the earth. Uh No,

492
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: I mean he annoys me. But clearly if we if

493
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: we really had a nasty relationship, he would not be

494
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: on the show. And but but he does get under

495
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: my skill because usually what happens. And I love Brian,

496
00:27:54,720 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: but he does occasionally try to do open mic night

497
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: at Chuckles Comedy Club and it doesn't always go well.

498
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: It does not always go well. So yeah, it's a

499
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: ton of pun And he is the Rolph speaking of Ralphie.

500
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: He is the Ralphie of fs are Yeah, speaking of

501
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: our Ralph Ralph Irvin. Oh yeah, another another one. I

502
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: talked to Ralph the other night. He was filling in

503
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: on the Jason Smith Show with Harmon and I told him,

504
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: I said, I still get emails from when Ralph was

505
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: so upset Ralph the Rhino wreck at Ralph he ran

506
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: into the other studio to hang up on Justin in Cincinnati. There. Yeah,

507
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: it was insane, and that's that's been he said. It's

508
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: been three years since that. I guess so. And you know,

509
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons I like Ralph. I think

510
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: was just that experience. To have the balls to run

511
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: into the control room and hang up on a caller,

512
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: you gotta respect that well. And then a guy that

513
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: has worked in radio and had no idea at that moment.

514
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,959
Speaker 1: He was so flustered. He was so flummixed and like

515
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: what am I don't know what to do? He had

516
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: a brain fart. He didn't know what button to press.

517
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: He starts hanging up on everybody. I had a full

518
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,239
Speaker 1: bank of calls on hold. He starts hanging about all

519
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: of them. It's another reason I love Justin and Cincinnati

520
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: so much, to the fact that he could get a

521
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: reaction out of somebody that would make him run into

522
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: a control room and hang up on everybody. Yeah, that

523
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: was hilarious. I still have the image of Ralph rumbling

524
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: turning the corner to get into the control room and

525
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: the look on his face and how everyone got out

526
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: of his way. You know, it was all those deals,

527
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: all right, Ralph's this is not fake and all the

528
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: phones are ringing. But Ralph, Ralph is gonna do is? Uh? Uh?

529
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: Yeah it was Ralph. You gotta say, Ralph, the phone

530
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: is ringing anyway? Uh. Next up Carlos in Houston, Texas.

531
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: He says, the Mallard Militia are absolutely clutch with the

532
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: Christmas music. I know this will be the last podcast

533
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: for a while, so I had a couple of questions.

534
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: Should Major League Baseball sell Rawlings Back after that story

535
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: came out about them using two different types of baseballs?

536
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: He says, that's number one, and what will happen if

537
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: Carlo's career signs with the Dodgers, And he also says,

538
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: fuck that couple in Florida. I want the couple in

539
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: Kentucky back. Well, I missed the couple in Kentucky. I

540
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: know what happened to him, hope though, Okay. They sent

541
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: me a Western Kentucky Hilltoppers hat and sent Danny some alcohol,

542
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: and they were big fans of the podcast and we

543
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: still love getting updates on them. And then they just

544
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: randomly stopped, you know, emailing in, so I don't know

545
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: what happened. Hopefully they're okay. But as far as the

546
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: first question, no, Major League Baseball should absolutely not sell

547
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: Rawlings Back because even when Rawlings was an independent company,

548
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: they were still overseeing the baseballs anyway, so it doesn't

549
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: really matter, you know, they own it. And then I

550
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,959
Speaker 1: want no part of Carlos Correa. There's the Dodgers are

551
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: not going to sign that guy. No, they don't need him.

552
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: They have trade Turner to play shortstop. Don't. If they

553
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: were going to spend that kind of money, they should

554
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: have just kept Corey Seeger, thank you. Yeah, I don't.

555
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: I don't think that. And the rawlings baseball thing, they're

556
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: gonna they make a big deal about it, And the

557
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: problem is not the baseball, even if the baseball flies

558
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: a little further. The problem is everyone is just swinging

559
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: from their heels trying to hit home rusts. No one's

560
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: trying to just get base hits. That's the issue because

561
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: they don't pay for base hits. They don't pay you

562
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: to bat three fifty with a bunch of singles in baseball.

563
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: In professional baseball, they pay you to hit forty home

564
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: runs and back to eighteen with a hundred walks and

565
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: two hundred fifty strikeouts. That's what they pay you for.

566
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: And as a Dodgers fan, I could never get comfortable

567
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: seeing that cheating bachch Correa stepping up to the plate

568
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: wearing a Dodger uniform. And I think the Dodgers front

569
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: office knows that band that the fans would just not

570
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: get behind it at all. Yeah, I would be very

571
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: surprised if he ends up with the Dodgers or the Yankees.

572
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: I could see him going somewhere like Toronto. They've already

573
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: got a cheating astro on then old cheating astro where

574
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,959
Speaker 1: the Tigers or somewhere along those lines, although I think

575
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: the chroits less likely now. But talking baseball, thanks Charlos Man,

576
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: Come on here we go. I can't wait for baseball

577
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: season to start. Well, you're gonna have to wait. There's

578
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: gonna be a work stopper. There's a work stoppice right now.

Speaker 1: the time right now? Why waste the time? Now? Get

00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: So go in and you're you're gonna have to stay

585
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: in a room and just don't leave the room until

586
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: you see white smoke like the Vatican. And you've named

587
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: the Pope, You've named the new deal in baseball. Why

588
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: is this so hard? Datty, I don't understand. I don't

589
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: get money is the root of all evil? Well, yeah,

590
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: I'd like to have a lot of it, but you'd

591
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: like to You're like I'd like to be more evil. Yeah, evil, Yeah,

592
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: it depends on evil. Like like Urban Meyer got fired

593
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: the other night, right for the show, and depending on

594
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,239
Speaker 1: what happens, and there's lawyers involved. He's got in the

595
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: ballpark of fifty million dollars left on his country. So

596
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: Urban is public any number one. People love to just

597
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: trash him, and I maybe he's a horrible Maybe he's

598
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: the devil incarnate. I don't know, you know, he's a

599
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: spawn of Satan. But he's fifty million dollars. People are

600
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: trashing him online right and left. And there was this

601
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: sound that came out of Jackson when Urban was like

602
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: oh and it's like yeah, okay, So Urban lasted less

603
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: than a year, gets fifty million, assuming he gets that money,

604
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 1: and now it goes back to television, so he's he

605
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: won the lottery. I said, amazing. I mean she and

606
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: when that girl grinded on him at the bar, what

607
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: was he supposed to do? Well, he might not have

608
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:21,959
Speaker 1: needed to put the hands where he put the hand

609
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: he used to make sure she didn't she didn't have

610
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: any kind of uh you know, she was well. He

Speaker 1: was checking for cancer. I think Chris in America coulda

612
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: I think he sent another one in, Uh, let's see,

613
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: or maybe I put that on. Yeah, I think I

Speaker 1: already did that one. Uh down, down, No, No, this

615
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: is a new one. This is different. I think he

616
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: said he posted one on Facebook and sent this one in. Oh,

617
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 1: here it is, he says. Last season, the big Penny

618
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: I sent you for Betty versus the penny was prominently

619
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: featured despite gascon I haven't noticed it yet this season.

620
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: Question is did it survive your recent move? Is it

621
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: buried somewhere? Will it be found a hundred years from

622
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 1: now at the bottom of some dusty box? Please Ben,

623
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: give it one more chance to see the sun. Well, Chris,

624
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: that's a great point, and it is in a storage facility.

625
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: I have no idea where in the storage facility is.

626
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: So I don't think it'll be a hundred years, because

627
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: I won't live a hundred years, but it'll be a

628
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,319

656
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: in Round Rock, Texas listens to the fifth Hour podcast

657
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: he Write City says, the other day, I was watching

658
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 1: a fantasy football show on TV and I couldn't get

659
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: the closed caption turned off. Every time they would say

660
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, the closed caption showed Calamari, what is the

661
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: funniest closed captioning that you have seen? Why? I usually

662
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: don't pay attention to the closed captioning. My wife loves

663
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,399
Speaker 1: closed captioning. She watches a lot of foreign movies, which

664
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: I hate, and she loves the close captioning. But with me,

665
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: I don't really have a closed captioning story Coldie, but

666
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: I do have my name. When I speak it into

667
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: my phone, I'll do voice to text, and it's almost

668
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 1: always Mallet, Ben Mallett. It always comes up. Never Mallard,

669
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: it's always Mallet. Screw you, Bill Miller, And that's a

670
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: pain in the ass that always gets me. Any any

671
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: of those type of things with you, Danny, anything pop

672
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: up there, you know. I've learned as far as subtitles, go.

673
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,040
Speaker 1: I've learned a lot of my Spanish from watch in

674
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: the Narco series on Netflix. Thank you Netflix. Well that's great.

675
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 1: That's like the story of people coming to America learning

676
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: English from the Three Stooges or really TV shows, and

677
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: that that's how they learned. It's been great because my

678
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,439
Speaker 1: neighbors speaks Spanish, so I've been, you know, going back

679
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: and forth when I see him in the morning and

680
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: he just wonders why I'm always talking about drugs. That's great.

681
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,760
Speaker 1: I have not checked that show out, but thank you Coley.

682
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: You've gotta watch Narco span I'm the only show I

683
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,439
Speaker 1: really watched, like Curb your Enthusiasm these days. That's about it.

684
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: Come on, brought in your horizons. I know Craig in

685
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 1: the Camel City formerly of St. Louis, writes in he says,

686
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: I have a question for you, but not for the

687
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: fifth hour. Too late, Craig, Too late, Craig, it's on

688
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 1: the fifth hour. I won't read the whole thing, he says.

689
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: The last podcast, the fifth hour I listened to, you

690
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: mentioned that you're coming to North Carolina. Of course, Craig

691
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: lives in North Carolina, says, I know you mentioned that

692
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: it is for a wedding, but is it possible to

693
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 1: try to do a Mallard meet and Greek. Well, it

694
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: is absolutely possible, Craig. I have to get the green

695
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: light from the Ball and Chain on that. And I'm

696
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: not really sure how long I'm gonna be in North Carolina.

697
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: I figured that's a long way to go from California,

698
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 1: so I should probably maximize my time on the East Coast.

699
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: I might go up and see my brother who lives

700
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: in New York, for example, but I'd like to I

701
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 1: would like to do a Mallard meet and greet. And

702
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 1: so we're way off on that this is gonna happen.

703
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: I think the weddings in your March or April. So

704
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: I will keep you posted, Craig. I'm sure I'll give

705
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: updates on the podcast, but I would need to know.

706
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: I don't know any locations in North Carolina to have

707
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: a Mallard meetread so if you know anybody, Craig, start

708
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 1: looking around at like a sports bar, a restaurant somewhere

709
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: that might want to host the event. That would help

710
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: us out a lot. And also, uh, just thinking down

711
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: the line, Danny, I need to get to Minnesota. Mine.

712
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: One of my goals is to do a meet in greet, Minnesota.

713
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 1: In all things being equal, so we need a good location,

714
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: my guys in Minnesota, if you can find a good

715
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: location in the Twin Cities that would be open to

716
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: having an event. And I always say, I don't know

717
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:24,879
Speaker 1: how many people are gonna show up to these things, Danny.

718
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes there's like five people, sometimes there's twenty people, sometimes

719
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: there thirty people. Uh, you never know who's gonna show.

720
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: A lot of people make plans to show up, you know,

721
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 1: like when you were doing DJ stuff and you'd go

722
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 1: to vote and people it's, oh yeah, I go there,

723
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: and sometimes it would be awesome and be huge, and

724
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 1: other times there'll be nobody there and it's really sporadic.

725
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: You don't really know. You always tell you Ben when

726
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:48,720
Speaker 1: you're coming up. You have fun whether there's five people

727
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 1: or five thousand people. You enjoy your night. Yeah. And

728
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: the cool thing is often when there's less people, it's

729
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: I get more one on one time with people because

730
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: I always feel like a beat. I feel like, well,

731
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's ninety six point seven percent men the audience,

732
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: but we have a few women and few women have

733
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: risen the prominence that are fans of the show. Uh.

734
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: I know on this podcast, Jennifer and Richmond's rising up

735
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: the level of a podcast contributor, Tammy and Montana for

736
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: the show as well. And I love the women's sports

737
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: fans and the women who rock fs are constantly. But

738
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 1: like you said, Ben, it's funny because you know, if

739
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: you're like a DJ for a hip hop station or

740
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: a rock station, you got all the girls calling the

741
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: phone and listening. But it's not the same with sports

742
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 1: talk radio because it's mainly guys that listen to sports talk.

743
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. When I was at Kiss AM, which

744
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: was Extra Sports eleven fifty, right down the hall was

745
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: a legendary l a radio station, Kiss FM. What oh

746
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: two point seven Kiss FM, And at that time it

747
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: was Rick D's in the morning. But I was friends

748
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: with the nighttime guys, oh boy, and we would because

749
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: I did the night show, we'd hang out with the

750
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 1: night guys. And I remember the difference just by walking

751
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: down the hall. It was all dudes on one side,

752
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: and then it was all like teenage girls, teeny boppers

753
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: that would call in to Kiss FM. And this is

754
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 1: so long ago, I'm dating myself here. There was a

755
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 1: band called Hanson. Remember the band, Yeah, unfortunately I do

756
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: remember that. Yeah, that was terrible. But this is back

757
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: in the nineties and they Hansen came in to Kiss

758
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: FM at night and there were teenage girls wrapped around

759
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: the building. I don't even know how. I guess they

760
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: just listened to the radio. But that was before the way,

761
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: before social media, and they came down to the radio stations.

762
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 1: They didn't know where Hanson was going to come out

763
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: of the building, but they were. They were wrapping around

764
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: the buildings so they could get photo op with Hanson.

765
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:43,760
Speaker 1: But anyway, I used to hang out with those guys

766
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: and it was crazy. And there are two of the

767
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: two of the guys I was buddies with are still

768
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:51,720
Speaker 1: in l A radio. Valentine who does a morning show

769
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: in law C in the l A market on one

770
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: of three Valentine in the morning, and I'd hang out

771
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: with him all the time. And then Jojo on the

772
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: raid EO, who is still I think I think he's

773
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 1: still at Kiss FM. I have to double check, but

774
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: I last I heard he was still at Kiss FM

775
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: doing like afternoon Drive or something like that. So so

776
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,800
Speaker 1: you saw what it was like to be an FM DJ.

777
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: I lived through them. I lived through their lives and

778
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: I did get to go in there. But it was

779
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: pretty cool, Like sometimes we would play Madden. I'd get

780
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: done with the overnight show at approximately one in the morning,

781
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: and I'm a single guy. No woman will get near me,

782
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: so living the radio life, living the apartment in Hollywood

783
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 1: by myself. So I just hang out with the guys

784
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:43,240
Speaker 1: that Kiss FM and we'd play Madden. We played Madden

785
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: in the studio, all the music played, and I had

786
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: had very fun memories of that, and then we had

787
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: to get out of there before Rick D showed up.

788
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 1: But these usually taped the first hour of the show,

789
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: so we had extra time. Dan. Yeah, he mastered it

790
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: these the night you hear me. Ricky's nicest guy I've

791
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 1: ever met. I have nothing bad to say about Rick D's.

792
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 1: He could not have been nicer. He was at the

793
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: very top of radio when I met him, and I

794
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: was at the very bottom of radio, and he was

795
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: as nice as he could be. It's like that old saying,

796
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: it'll be nice to the people on the way up,

797
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: because the same people you're gonna see on the way down.

798
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 1: And that was Rick D's man he was. And then

799
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 1: I remember I saw d S after his career. He

800
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 1: had a TV show, a network TV show at one point,

801
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,280
Speaker 1: like Late Night with Rick Ds. What was that song

802
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: that he did? Duck Duck some Ducks songs Duck just

803
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: go Duck, Yes, Disco Duck, that's it. Yeah, legend man.

804
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: And of course remember Jay Thomas, Oh j Thomas another

805
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 1: another school DJ radio legend. Yes, l a legends, that's right.

806
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: And but D's when I ran into the last time

807
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 1: I ran into Rick's, he introduced himself and I says, I, Hi,

808
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: I am, I'm trying to pay I'll pare a phrase

809
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 1: he said, Hi, I'm Rick. I used to be Rick Dy's.

810
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: I used to be famous. That was like that was

811
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: and uh it was. It was very cool. So I'm

812
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: happy to hear stories like that about guys like that. Yeah,

813
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: and he always spoiled everyone. The only quirk I remember

814
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 1: about d S is that he loved the nineteen seventies

815
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: equipment because that's when he became prominent in radio. So

816
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: Kiss FM had all the newest equipment, but in the

817
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 1: Rick D's studio, they had this old nineteen seventies board

818
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 1: with the twisty knobs, and that's that's what D's learned

819
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,359
Speaker 1: how to do, and he didn't want to switch over,

820
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,720
Speaker 1: and so they kept having to fix that up and all.

821
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: And so I've heard those stories. While the world was digital,

822
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: he wanted analog. He was the analog man in the

823
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: digital world, right, He's the guy using the typewriter instead

824
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: of the computer. And that anyway, we gotta get out

825
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,439
Speaker 1: of here. Just a programming note for me. I will

826
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: be on ray d Oh tonight and I'll be on

827
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,320
Speaker 1: most of the week. I will not be on Thursday

828
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 1: into Friday, so I'll be off that night leading into

829
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve, and then i'll be off until the New

830
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: Year after that. But I'm not doing a few extra shows.

00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: you'll be in a lot over the next couple of weeks. Yeah,

834
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:27,960

837
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: throughout the holiday I'll be filling in on the network.

838
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,879
Speaker 1: So you'll hear me pop up on the microphone from

839
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: time to time. All right, and before I forget, I will,

840
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,439
Speaker 1: I do want to thank the Arizona Republic every time

841
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:49,800
Speaker 1: I mentioned Kyler Murray. Danny g Hey column is written

842
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:53,479
Speaker 1: in the local newspaper, the Paper Record in Phoenix. There

843
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: they're not happy with me because I ripped Kyler after

844
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,879
Speaker 1: the game against the Rams the other night. I guess

845
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 1: it's a delayed reaction. And but anyway, have a great holiday.
