Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of
Speaker 1: the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of hot takes,
Speaker 1: break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben
Speaker 1: Maller starts right now in the air everywhere, the final
Speaker 1: edition of the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller in Danny
Speaker 1: g Radio. Here to close out this weekend of podcast.
Speaker 1: But I will be back on the radio a good
Speaker 1: chunk of this week, so I'm not taking my extended
Speaker 1: vacation as I normally do. More on that later. Yes,
Speaker 1: I know this podcast eight days a week. The radio
Speaker 1: show with the podcast four hours a night, clearly not
Speaker 1: enough on the overnight. Before we get into the mail bag, though,
Speaker 1: Danny G. I mentioned on the Saturday podcast that I
Speaker 1: watched an old Yankee game with the Red Sox and
Speaker 1: George Steinbrenner, the old owner of the Yankees, who has
Speaker 1: been dead for a long time, was interviewed and he
Speaker 1: was asked about all the controversy in the Bronx. This
Speaker 1: is a probably how old is this thirty five year old,
Speaker 1: thirty six year old interview? This goes way back right
Speaker 1: way Wait wait, wait back. So I was watching it
Speaker 1: and I just loved what he said because it really
Speaker 1: resonates to this day considering how much more money is
Speaker 1: involved now. So I wanted to play that and then
Speaker 1: we'll get into the mail bag. So this is again,
Speaker 1: this is on an NBC broadcast from nineteen eight six.
Speaker 1: So we're going in the hot tub time machine, and
Speaker 1: this is the old, grumpy owner of the Yankees, George Steinbrenner,
Speaker 1: and he's asked a question by Joe Garagiola and listened
Speaker 1: to Steinbrenner's response, what about the turmoil it always seems
Speaker 1: to surround the club? Well, you know turmoil. Well, no,
Speaker 1: turmoil is with every baseball team. They haven't the San Diego,
Speaker 1: they have it in the Middle West, they have it everywhere.
Speaker 1: That's part of the game. And you know, I have
Speaker 1: to laugh when guys say, well, it's a strain and
Speaker 1: it's turmoil to play baseball in the Yankees, or for
Speaker 1: four thousand dollar a year average salary, or for a
Speaker 1: million six like our top player makes, they can take
Speaker 1: a little turmoil. Let them go out and drive a
Speaker 1: cab in New York if they want some real turmoil.
Speaker 1: Imagine if an owner said that today, Danny. I mean,
Speaker 1: what a good point he makes to shut up and
Speaker 1: play and stop crying. Yeah. So when people and I
Speaker 1: have a similar outlook, I mean, people say I I
Speaker 1: bust a lot of balls and all that with athletes,
Speaker 1: but I do think, listen, these there are a lot
Speaker 1: more difficult jobs. I think working at a fast food
Speaker 1: restaurant at rush hour, at in and out. We talked
Speaker 1: about that, that is a much harder job to me
Speaker 1: than playing for the Lakers or the Clippers or whoever,
Speaker 1: whatever team you happen to like. Uh, and and there
Speaker 1: are there's so many other things. We had a listener
Speaker 1: on Facebook the other day who posted a list of
Speaker 1: his deliveries as he delivers packages for Amazon. It's insane,
Speaker 1: these guys going all over God's Green Earth to deliver packages.
Speaker 1: And it's like, that's a much more difficult job then
Speaker 1: it is playing in the NFL. And I have respect
Speaker 1: with the NFL players and the baseball players, the basketball
Speaker 1: players do, but let's let's have some perspective. There are
Speaker 1: other people that have much more difficult jobs that are
Speaker 1: getting paid peanuts for those jobs. I don't understand why
Speaker 1: nobody's watching the guy deliver packages at Amazon and all that.
Speaker 1: I get it, but still, yeah, I would never call
Speaker 1: their jobs easy. But how coming all other walks of
Speaker 1: life when you're well compensated, you're not allowed to complain
Speaker 1: because you're told, hey, shut up, you're well compensated. Yeah. No, absolutely,
Speaker 1: So that was the Steinbranner thing. That was great. Oh thay,
Speaker 1: I'm glad. I'm glad you enjoyed that. I went back
Speaker 1: and I dugged through us. I I gotta find the
Speaker 1: exact moment I wanted to remember exactly where it was.
Speaker 1: I was able to track down. Let's get to the
Speaker 1: mail back here we go. Yes, it is in the bag.
Speaker 1: Thanks to ohio Al for sending in that little ditty
Speaker 1: way back in the day. And we played every week
Speaker 1: to kick off the mail Bag. And this week's mailbag,
Speaker 1: Danny g. We start off with an email from Pierre
Speaker 1: in Springfield. I know this is very exciting. Here we
Speaker 1: have our first email from Pierre. He's a friend of
Speaker 1: Alf the Alien Opie. Yes we do. We have a
Speaker 1: lot of mail this week, and uh, here. It is
Speaker 1: so Pierre in Springfield, says Ben. Danny g uh Ben,
Speaker 1: it seems like everything you do everything possible to keep
Speaker 1: your loyal minions on the edge of our collective seats.
Speaker 1: He says, whether it is posting the YouTube broadcast time
Speaker 1: of Benny versus the penny five minutes in advance, or
Speaker 1: being vague about your sabbatical. He says that being said,
Speaker 1: some of us are only in He says the Benny business,
Speaker 1: UH is talking about when I guess when I'm on
Speaker 1: and don't listen when you're not on the live air.
Speaker 1: Can you just ask a Roberto or anyone at fs
Speaker 1: ARE with computer access to hit the record button and
Speaker 1: play all of the show's drops for about six episodes
Speaker 1: worth of the podcast content while you're enjoying you're well
Speaker 1: deserved time off asking for a friend. Uh, That would
Speaker 1: be great, but I'm pretty sure management would not sign
Speaker 1: off on that, Danny. I don't think that management would
Speaker 1: think that was such a great idea, and if we
Speaker 1: brought that up to management, management would come by shoot
Speaker 1: that down. So your show does have a lot of
Speaker 1: fun drops, half of which I personally reported in to
Speaker 1: the computer system that it is true. Many of the
Speaker 1: drops that we play today are all from that is
Speaker 1: not fake news news. I spent a lot of hours, Mr.
Speaker 1: Former President putting those in the next gen computer system,
Speaker 1: and I would like a show like that. If you
Speaker 1: recall when Roberto first took over for my old spot,
Speaker 1: I helped him do a weekly segment you voted on
Speaker 1: the best drop out of the three yes Yes, Battle
Speaker 1: of the Drop, and that's because there were so many
Speaker 1: good drops on your show. That is a good idea.
Speaker 1: But I will say this, even the most loyal Ben
Speaker 1: mallor fan who doesn't like it when you're actually taking
Speaker 1: a vacation day, you know, give the programming a chance still,
Speaker 1: because that is a fill in hosts opportunity to shine.
Speaker 1: And I have produced many fill in hosts over the years,
Speaker 1: and there's actually some fun times during those shifts because
Speaker 1: those guys get a chance to be on the big
Speaker 1: network and have a shift. Yeah, and that's what I
Speaker 1: did when I was starting out. I was the filling
Speaker 1: guy and then got more opportunity on the weekend and
Speaker 1: then you know, it's still a filling guy for a while.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, you got to give people a chance.
Speaker 1: But you know, how people are, Danny. A lot of
Speaker 1: people creatures a habit, and you just get used to
Speaker 1: something and then you're used to that and you don't
Speaker 1: want to get used to something else. But I give
Speaker 1: it a try, give it a sample. You might as
Speaker 1: well listen. And I think I get credit for that.
Speaker 1: If you stop downloading the podcast, I think that hurts me.
Speaker 1: So keep downloading the podcasting. Yeah, Kevin in Kansas writes,
Speaker 1: and he says, dear Ben Danny, g uh. He says,
Speaker 1: but now that life in the north Woods is normalizing,
Speaker 1: do you have any marathon walks? Plan? Is your new
Speaker 1: neighborhood conductive to your long walks where maybe you can
Speaker 1: find laundry hampers and such. That's the famous story at
Speaker 1: the old place, I was walking and somebody had left
Speaker 1: a professional industry grade undry cart on the side of
Speaker 1: the road, and I walked by, and I walked for
Speaker 1: like another hour, and then I came home and I said,
Speaker 1: if that thing is still there, I'm getting it's just
Speaker 1: thrown on the side of the road, like in a
Speaker 1: pile of trash. So I went. I put the the Mallamobile,
Speaker 1: the SUV version of the Mountain Momobile, and I went
Speaker 1: down there and I picked that piece of trash up
Speaker 1: off the side of the road and I put it
Speaker 1: in my car and I cleaned it up, and right
Speaker 1: now is sitting Kevin in a storage shed. I do
Speaker 1: have a bunch of areas I can walk in the
Speaker 1: north Woods, but I haven't been able to do much
Speaker 1: of that because of the schedule and everything. And I'm
Speaker 1: really excited. I'm hoping by the time I go on
Speaker 1: my end of year sabbatica, when I come back, I
Speaker 1: will have access to my treadmill and that will be
Speaker 1: That will be the big thing, because I need I
Speaker 1: can go in after the show. It's a little awkward
Speaker 1: to walk around in the middle of the night. People
Speaker 1: think you're up to no good and I'd rather avoid
Speaker 1: having to deal with that. So and also with the
Speaker 1: low being thirty thirty nine degrees here in California, we
Speaker 1: curl up in the fetal position. Yes, when the temperature
Speaker 1: gets to the thirties. Yes, we are warm blooded and
Speaker 1: do not do well. We don't have thick blood and
Speaker 1: that is a problem. Right, who is next year come back?
Speaker 1: It's the little car that's right. R J in the
Speaker 1: sane Antnio rights, and he says, hey, guys, did you
Speaker 1: ever watch late night talk shows and which ones were
Speaker 1: your favorites? Yeah? I did, I loved I was a
Speaker 1: huge David Letterman fan when I was growing up, when
Speaker 1: he was on the late Late after the Tonight Show
Speaker 1: on NBC. But everyone and we're of the age day
Speaker 1: we were kids, that's what people watched was late night,
Speaker 1: like the late night talk shows that they got massive ratings,
Speaker 1: I mean unbelievably massive, huge amounts to people that used
Speaker 1: to watch those late night shows. And it's really segmented now,
Speaker 1: and they've really become more I feel like, more politicized
Speaker 1: definitely than they used to be. And so it's in
Speaker 1: terms of the audience now compared to what it used
Speaker 1: to be. It's yeah, like if I was a Letterman guy,
Speaker 1: my mom used to watch the Johnny Carson Show, so
Speaker 1: we watched that. I was just gonna say that my
Speaker 1: mom was a Carson fan. My aunt, her sister was
Speaker 1: a big Letterman fan. So when I would visit my cousin,
Speaker 1: they'd always have Letterman on. So I got to watch
Speaker 1: both shows depending on where I was, either in l
Speaker 1: A or the Bay Area. Both really great shows and
Speaker 1: of course, all of the beef that Letterman had with
Speaker 1: NBC would spill over onto the airwaves, and it was
Speaker 1: pretty fun to watch him slam his employer all the time. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you felt like you were watching something you weren't supposed
Speaker 1: to be watching. There was a special there's a uniqueness
Speaker 1: that nobody else was doing at that time that led
Speaker 1: Himan didn't. I used to love it because he dropped,
Speaker 1: like he'd go do a recorded segment where he'd go
Speaker 1: to a parking garage in New Jersey and dropped ten
Speaker 1: pounds a large just to see what it looked like
Speaker 1: when it hit the ground, and it was just hilarious.
Speaker 1: Or you drop a bowling ball or a couple of
Speaker 1: bowling balls off. So yeah, are you I have fond
Speaker 1: memories of that back in the day. Let's see who
Speaker 1: is next on the mail bag page down page, Yes
Speaker 1: we do. Jennifer in Richmond, Virginia, right. Since she says,
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny g Hello, Ben, you make me laugh
Speaker 1: with all the sound effects. Well, I'm glad somebody likes
Speaker 1: the sound effects. It's my opportunity to play goofy soundways. Uh,
Speaker 1: and she says, anyway, you played Ralphie from the Simpsons
Speaker 1: last week already forgot what he said, But do you
Speaker 1: also have him saying I sleep in a drawer? If not,
Speaker 1: is there any way you can get that. I looked
Speaker 1: for that, I did not find that. The only other
Speaker 1: Ralph drop I could find was this one. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I've got a good one. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's it, uh Ralph approved. But
Speaker 1: you and your drops man, we were just talking about that.
Speaker 1: How Roberto has those buttons in front of him nowadays,
Speaker 1: and before that, I had all those buttons in front
Speaker 1: of me on the podcast set up here. Used to
Speaker 1: see Ben with his buttons and you get a big
Speaker 1: smile on your face buttons pop up on the screen. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's so much fun. I love it. And I've got
Speaker 1: a lot, but they're all they're not in order, and
Speaker 1: I can't really on this thing that I'm using, I
Speaker 1: can't really put them in order like I have. This
Speaker 1: is my coop drop smoke. Yeah, but that's up at
Speaker 1: the top and I need that at the lower level.
Speaker 1: And then we ever talked about the Minnesota vikings, and
Speaker 1: now you have more of an appreciation for the timing
Speaker 1: skill and technique it takes to place a proper drop. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: there's always felt like you don't You don't want to
Speaker 1: put the drop in at the wrong time because that
Speaker 1: becomes a big problem. You know, that's not you don't
Speaker 1: want that you needed at the right time. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: have to wait for a breath, and you know with
Speaker 1: you breaths don't come often. Dead air is the death
Speaker 1: of radio, you know, correct on that? Alright, Moving on, Jennifer,
Speaker 1: she did have a question. I think that was our
Speaker 1: only question about Rob. So I don't have the drop.
Speaker 1: Do you have any Ralphie drops over there? Danny old?
Speaker 1: Any from the Simpsons? I can find one and all
Speaker 1: inserted into the podcast here, she's touching my special area.
Speaker 1: I won't win in my mouth and then I ate it.
Speaker 1: Can I have a new one? Ralphie? All right? Chris
Speaker 1: in Marraccona, Iowa, says, Ben, does your wife or wives
Speaker 1: get upset with you watching so much sports in your
Speaker 1: free time? How often does it's my job work on them? Well, Danny,
Speaker 1: this is the same thing for you now that you
Speaker 1: are in a a long term relationship. So I try
Speaker 1: to be very polite, uh A. During the week. The
Speaker 1: way I get ready for the show is I usually
Speaker 1: have a game or two on at night kind of
Speaker 1: in the background. I'm watching it with half an eye,
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to get notes together for the monologue.
Speaker 1: So and then when the game. Usually the cool thing
Speaker 1: about a lot of these games, like in the n
Speaker 1: b A, I don't really have to pay attention to
Speaker 1: the end because most of these games are decided in
Speaker 1: the final three minutes of the game, so I can
Speaker 1: kind of look with half an I Football is much
Speaker 1: harder because I try to really pay attention to it,
Speaker 1: and that becomes more problematic on Thursday and Monday and
Speaker 1: Sunday night. Um, so those are the nights. But like
Speaker 1: on UH, the shows off for us on Friday night
Speaker 1: and Saturday, and I try to be really good about
Speaker 1: not not forcing it. I'm able to watch a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff on my phone, so I will sometimes will
Speaker 1: be out if we're out at the all or something
Speaker 1: like that, I'll pop on the phone I fing like
Speaker 1: WiFi or something like that, and I'll watch watch some
Speaker 1: college football or something like that. But I'm pretty pretty
Speaker 1: good about it. But during the week I have to
Speaker 1: do it for work, and She's pretty good, but she's
Speaker 1: working too, so snow, big deal. What about you, Dannie,
Speaker 1: Are you able to get away and watch the Raiders
Speaker 1: or whoever you want to watch on the weekend? Yeah,
Speaker 1: my chick fil a. She's really good about sports being
Speaker 1: on TV A because she knows how much I love sports.
Speaker 1: She also has a couple of boys who love sports
Speaker 1: and their Raider fans. Her family are Raider fans and
Speaker 1: big Dodger fans. Basketball is really the only thing that's
Speaker 1: been hard to watch with her because, like you just said,
Speaker 1: the biggest action happens at the end of the basketball games.
Speaker 1: So if I'm watching an NBA game in the first quarter,
Speaker 1: she thinks I'm wasting my time because she's like, why
Speaker 1: don't you just turn it on at the very end.
Speaker 1: She's not wrong, but she's not the only way you're
Speaker 1: not wasting your time is if there's a massive fight
Speaker 1: or an injury. Other than that, you're you're absolutely wasting
Speaker 1: your time. As far as NFL Sunday goes, I got
Speaker 1: the ticket before the season began, and she's a really
Speaker 1: good host, cooks up really good football food. I give
Speaker 1: her a lot of props for that, So no no issues.
Speaker 1: Where I'm at Bend. I could not get along with
Speaker 1: somebody who didn't let me watch sports. Yeah, my wife's
Speaker 1: not really into the but she's allows me to do
Speaker 1: she knows I have to do it, and and she
Speaker 1: likes to go to games. She loves to go to
Speaker 1: games that you never liked to watch the games on TV.
Speaker 1: She loves going to Dodger Stadium or whatever and seen
Speaker 1: a game. And I haven't really been able to do
Speaker 1: that much recently, but hopefully sooner than later we'll get
Speaker 1: back out going to games and you're busy in the
Speaker 1: press box. She's not allowed up there. Although I don't
Speaker 1: even go to I don't even I've really been doing
Speaker 1: that much. I've been to a few NFL games, and
Speaker 1: I got my routine everything set up. I've settled into
Speaker 1: my habit of where I do the show. I have
Speaker 1: my own studio set up up, the home studio, and
Speaker 1: so I'm kind of in here most of the time.
Speaker 1: And someday we'll have to retell the story about how
Speaker 1: much food used to steal out of the press box.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, let me tell you back in the day,
Speaker 1: that was Big Benny days. The reason they had to
Speaker 1: change the name of Staples Center is because I ate
Speaker 1: so much food back in the day, they needed more money.
Speaker 1: Real sad story, Danny. That was pretty what happened there anyway.
Speaker 1: Next up on the mail bag, that's right all right, uh,
Speaker 1: Valls fan Jimmy from Fayetteville, Tennessee. He writes in, Uh says,
Speaker 1: no question. Just want to thank you for making the
Speaker 1: third shift. He's the last eight years looking forward to
Speaker 1: have a safe holiday. You and Danny g so thank you.
Speaker 1: Valls Fan, Jimmy, thank you. And Jimmy is authentic Tennessee.
Speaker 1: He's not. He's called the show a few times. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: and I've I've talked with him on Twitter. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: got but calling the short you can tell he's not
Speaker 1: a faith he's not. He's not somebody that like moved
Speaker 1: to Tennessee when he was thirty. No, No, he's living
Speaker 1: the life. He's living the life there, absolutely all right.
Speaker 1: Next up, Tammy in Montana rights in. She says, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: Danny has a sexy voice too. She says, yeah, we
Speaker 1: talked last week, but gascon and she says, of all
Speaker 1: the people that could have replaced David, Danny Gee is
Speaker 1: the one that will do a great job keeping up
Speaker 1: the friendly banter. Tammy says, keep working hard on the
Speaker 1: podcast content and keeping you in line, just as David
Speaker 1: did not. David did not keep me in line. That's
Speaker 1: bull crap. How dare you? And she says, have you
Speaker 1: heard of Helen has choked on her arrogance? Yet? She says, well,
Speaker 1: this is continuing here the I know. Calm down, She says,
Speaker 1: have you heard of Helen has choked down her arrogance? Yet?
Speaker 1: Let Helen know that the cockroaches and rats that live
Speaker 1: in her house do not count as knowing people. Well,
Speaker 1: this is vicious. That's a Tammy and Montana the back
Speaker 1: and forth, and right from that we have Helen and
Speaker 1: Stu from palmetto Bay. They wrote back. They have their
Speaker 1: reply in the Octagon on the fifth hour, and this
Speaker 1: one says to Mallard Claus, North Pole, California, a last
Speaker 1: minute present request. Turns out that all Tammy and Montana
Speaker 1: wants for Christmas are her two front false teeth. The
Speaker 1: great news is that after watching the latest Benny versus
Speaker 1: the Petty video, Stu and I noticed that her boyfriend
Speaker 1: David Gascon has plenty of uh moose sized and bright
Speaker 1: Hollywood cap teeth to spare. Wow, I don't think those
Speaker 1: are those fake. I don't think those are fake. I
Speaker 1: don't know, and they maybe they maybe even years then then,
Speaker 1: but they really don't like they said at last count,
Speaker 1: Gascon has three extra sets of incisors, canines, and Moehler's
Speaker 1: of course no wisdom teeth. If he did, he'd still
Speaker 1: be on the fifth hour. Wow. Shots fired. Well, they
Speaker 1: were demanding the departure of David. Uh. The message continues
Speaker 1: from Helen and Stu. The angry Well, I don't think
Speaker 1: they're angry, just having fun. Uh, couple, they're they're very,
Speaker 1: very divisive here, the Mallew Militia. You are under attack here,
Speaker 1: Helen and Stu, It says Benny in all seriousness during
Speaker 1: these ongoing challenging social times. Happy mench holiday to you, Aaron,
Speaker 1: now Danny Chocolate. That's right. We learned on the original
Speaker 1: episode that you were on. You are part of the
Speaker 1: Great Gara Deli Chocolate family. Uh, says the entire Ben
Speaker 1: Mallory Show crew and the Mallard Militia, including Yes, Tammy
Speaker 1: and Montana. For another outstanding year of not so serious
Speaker 1: sports talk entertainment like Mallard claws on a fire truck.
Speaker 1: Our support for you will remain in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1: That's from Helen and still all people very nicely. A
Speaker 1: nice way to end the Tupac Biggie beef there or
Speaker 1: the beef. The beef is still going, but it was
Speaker 1: just a holiday truth for a moment. Yeah, that the
Speaker 1: beef was not ended, Danny. It's it will continue for
Speaker 1: for a long time, but they'll pick it up after
Speaker 1: the new year. Uh. Let's see John in Dallas right
Speaker 1: since his last week, I adopted a rescue dog and
Speaker 1: unlike all the other dogs and cats that I have had,
Speaker 1: this one is a female. And then John and Dallas says,
Speaker 1: can you and Danny g give me some fatherly advice
Speaker 1: on what it is like to live with a bit? Okay, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: your Bella is a female dog, so I do have
Speaker 1: she is that that is the technical term. We're not
Speaker 1: being offensive at all. A female dog is a bitch.
Speaker 1: And I moved in with a bit recently. You have
Speaker 1: a female at Daisy, little Daisy the dog. She fits
Speaker 1: in the palm of your hands. Man. She's a small dog,
Speaker 1: but she also thinks that she is a guard dog.
Speaker 1: So she's one of those where in her mind she's
Speaker 1: protecting the entire house, but in actuality, your big toe
Speaker 1: could move her away. Yeah. And and Bella's got a
Speaker 1: it must be the little Napoleon complex in the dog community.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the dogs uses the Napoleon complex,
Speaker 1: but yeah, Bella is like the Bella. She's a boss
Speaker 1: dog and she's she's the boss bitch. And uh, if
Speaker 1: I don't give her a treat, she'll like pot me.
Speaker 1: If I don't scratch her back before I go to bed,
Speaker 1: she gets very upset and starts out, and then she'll
Speaker 1: wake me up sometimes in the middle of the night.
Speaker 1: And I didn't have I never had a male dog
Speaker 1: do this like and I'm actually happy about it. When
Speaker 1: she's got to go to the bathroom, she'll like stand
Speaker 1: on my head and forced me to wake up to
Speaker 1: take her out to go to the bathroom. So that's
Speaker 1: not a bad thing. Yeah, And I mean for advice
Speaker 1: getting a rescue, obviously, you just want to make them
Speaker 1: feel as loved as possible because it's something that has
Speaker 1: been inconsistent in their lives up to this point. Uh,
Speaker 1: take them on lots of walks and get them lots
Speaker 1: of toys and treats. Get a toy box, fill it
Speaker 1: with tons of toys. Usually they'll only use one toy,
Speaker 1: even though they have twelve toys in the box. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's always the You think you found the perfect toy.
Speaker 1: You you know your dog very much, and this is
Speaker 1: the toy the dog will love, and then you pull
Speaker 1: the wrapping off it. You excitedly give the dog the toy,
Speaker 1: and the dog wants to run and play with the old,
Speaker 1: disgusting toy. And what's nothing to do with the new
Speaker 1: toy exactly. Daisy has a toy called Piggy, and Piggy
Speaker 1: is really the only toy Daisy is interested. And even
Speaker 1: though she has a toy box that has more toys
Speaker 1: in it that I had when I was a kid. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And the other thing, too, is then you'll inevitably try
Speaker 1: to find an exact replica of the Piggy toy. And
Speaker 1: that becomes a pain in the ass because these dog toys,
Speaker 1: I have noticed a high turnover and dog toys where
Speaker 1: and if I made dog toys too, every year I
Speaker 1: would come out with new toys because you don't want
Speaker 1: what's what's the point of doing the same thing, so
Speaker 1: I have noticed that, but good luck, good luck, good
Speaker 1: luck with your rescue. Yeah, I am a fan of
Speaker 1: the bitches. Absolutely. Barry in Music City says Yo Yo Mo,
Speaker 1: Benny and Danny G. I love the Mallard Christmas songs.
Speaker 1: Well good I hope you enjoyed the podcast. If you
Speaker 1: guys have not heard the podcast on Friday, we played
Speaker 1: as all the holiday songs that were submitted before Friday
Speaker 1: and it made the air. We played one song that
Speaker 1: hasn't made the air yet and so check that out
Speaker 1: on Friday. It's perfect for Christmas parties. You really want
Speaker 1: to annoy your loved ones on Christmas play that would
Speaker 1: be like, what the what the bleep and he bleep
Speaker 1: is going on here? What happened? We're? We're are our
Speaker 1: favorite Christmas songs? What happened here? Shocked the fuck? That's
Speaker 1: probably what they'll tell you there. But anyway, uh Yo Yoma,
Speaker 1: he says Barry, he says, uh, I'll have to check
Speaker 1: out the Friday podcast again, Yes you will. And Benny,
Speaker 1: what were your expectations when you put out the bat
Speaker 1: signal for the maliss to come up with the Mallar
Speaker 1: themed Christmas songs. Well, sure, Barry. At first, I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: so maybe we'll get a couple of songs. I thought
Speaker 1: if we got three songs, I'd be happy. Serious, I
Speaker 1: didn't think we'd get more than maybe five at the most.
Speaker 1: I said, if the show is doing really well, we'll
Speaker 1: get five. And we ended up getting almost twenty five
Speaker 1: songs with with the songs that have been submitted, and
Speaker 1: these are people that wrote lyrics, they obviously changed the
Speaker 1: lyrics around and spend time. Some of these guys Mr
Speaker 1: PC went into a recording studio. I mean, these are
Speaker 1: not like boring boring, They're not I mean, they're good songs.
Speaker 1: And so I was blown away by it. And it's
Speaker 1: one of those things Danny too. When they kept coming in,
Speaker 1: I was like, wait, we got another one. I'd wake
Speaker 1: I'd wake up, and it's like there'd be one or
Speaker 1: two songs like pretty much every day. And Coop was
Speaker 1: getting some of the songs. I wasn't even seeing them
Speaker 1: and then he would play them on the show and
Speaker 1: I was like, whoa, that's I mean, that's crazy. So yeah,
Speaker 1: the creativity that went into a lot of the songs
Speaker 1: was just tremendous. Yeah, it was. It was a good job,
Speaker 1: and I don't know that we can recreate that like
Speaker 1: next year. That just kind of happened. Plus, we have
Speaker 1: all the songs. As long as no one leaves the show,
Speaker 1: we can still play the songs. Now, if somebody leaves
Speaker 1: the show, then we're gonna have to have the lyrics
Speaker 1: re written and all that stuff, and then that becomes problematic. Well,
Speaker 1: you're in one of the you were in a couple
Speaker 1: of songs. It's the old songs that listeners submitted. You
Speaker 1: were in several of them back in the day, So
Speaker 1: that was pretty cool. You alright, your show opens too.
Speaker 1: And then when I wasn't on the show anymore, they
Speaker 1: cut my voice out. Yeah, it's like Russia, you know,
Speaker 1: Joseph Stalin just make you vanish. They make Lenin or
Speaker 1: whoever back in the day, just in the uber driver
Speaker 1: listening in New Jersey or just Jersey as they call. Uh.
Speaker 1: Since does everyone on Fox Sports Radio really hate Brian
Speaker 1: Findley and particularly do you really hate having him on
Speaker 1: the show or is it all in good fun? No,
Speaker 1: I hate and Brian Finley some of the earth. Uh No,
Speaker 1: I mean he annoys me. But clearly if we if
Speaker 1: we really had a nasty relationship, he would not be
Speaker 1: on the show. And but but he does get under
Speaker 1: my skill because usually what happens. And I love Brian,
Speaker 1: but he does occasionally try to do open mic night
Speaker 1: at Chuckles Comedy Club and it doesn't always go well.
Speaker 1: It does not always go well. So yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: ton of pun And he is the Rolph speaking of Ralphie.
Speaker 1: He is the Ralphie of fs are Yeah, speaking of
Speaker 1: our Ralph Ralph Irvin. Oh yeah, another another one. I
Speaker 1: talked to Ralph the other night. He was filling in
Speaker 1: on the Jason Smith Show with Harmon and I told him,
Speaker 1: I said, I still get emails from when Ralph was
Speaker 1: so upset Ralph the Rhino wreck at Ralph he ran
Speaker 1: into the other studio to hang up on Justin in Cincinnati. There. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was insane, and that's that's been he said. It's
Speaker 1: been three years since that. I guess so. And you know,
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons I like Ralph. I think
Speaker 1: was just that experience. To have the balls to run
Speaker 1: into the control room and hang up on a caller,
Speaker 1: you gotta respect that well. And then a guy that
Speaker 1: has worked in radio and had no idea at that moment.
Speaker 1: He was so flustered. He was so flummixed and like
Speaker 1: what am I don't know what to do? He had
Speaker 1: a brain fart. He didn't know what button to press.
Speaker 1: He starts hanging up on everybody. I had a full
Speaker 1: bank of calls on hold. He starts hanging about all
Speaker 1: of them. It's another reason I love Justin and Cincinnati
Speaker 1: so much, to the fact that he could get a
Speaker 1: reaction out of somebody that would make him run into
Speaker 1: a control room and hang up on everybody. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was hilarious. I still have the image of Ralph rumbling
Speaker 1: turning the corner to get into the control room and
Speaker 1: the look on his face and how everyone got out
Speaker 1: of his way. You know, it was all those deals,
Speaker 1: all right, Ralph's this is not fake and all the
Speaker 1: phones are ringing. But Ralph, Ralph is gonna do is? Uh? Uh?
Speaker 1: Yeah it was Ralph. You gotta say, Ralph, the phone
Speaker 1: is ringing anyway? Uh. Next up Carlos in Houston, Texas.
Speaker 1: He says, the Mallard Militia are absolutely clutch with the
Speaker 1: Christmas music. I know this will be the last podcast
Speaker 1: for a while, so I had a couple of questions.
Speaker 1: Should Major League Baseball sell Rawlings Back after that story
Speaker 1: came out about them using two different types of baseballs?
Speaker 1: He says, that's number one, and what will happen if
Speaker 1: Carlo's career signs with the Dodgers, And he also says,
Speaker 1: fuck that couple in Florida. I want the couple in
Speaker 1: Kentucky back. Well, I missed the couple in Kentucky. I
Speaker 1: know what happened to him, hope though, Okay. They sent
Speaker 1: me a Western Kentucky Hilltoppers hat and sent Danny some alcohol,
Speaker 1: and they were big fans of the podcast and we
Speaker 1: still love getting updates on them. And then they just
Speaker 1: randomly stopped, you know, emailing in, so I don't know
Speaker 1: what happened. Hopefully they're okay. But as far as the
Speaker 1: first question, no, Major League Baseball should absolutely not sell
Speaker 1: Rawlings Back because even when Rawlings was an independent company,
Speaker 1: they were still overseeing the baseballs anyway, so it doesn't
Speaker 1: really matter, you know, they own it. And then I
Speaker 1: want no part of Carlos Correa. There's the Dodgers are
Speaker 1: not going to sign that guy. No, they don't need him.
Speaker 1: They have trade Turner to play shortstop. Don't. If they
Speaker 1: were going to spend that kind of money, they should
Speaker 1: have just kept Corey Seeger, thank you. Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think that. And the rawlings baseball thing, they're
Speaker 1: gonna they make a big deal about it, And the
Speaker 1: problem is not the baseball, even if the baseball flies
Speaker 1: a little further. The problem is everyone is just swinging
Speaker 1: from their heels trying to hit home rusts. No one's
Speaker 1: trying to just get base hits. That's the issue because
Speaker 1: they don't pay for base hits. They don't pay you
Speaker 1: to bat three fifty with a bunch of singles in baseball.
Speaker 1: In professional baseball, they pay you to hit forty home
Speaker 1: runs and back to eighteen with a hundred walks and
Speaker 1: two hundred fifty strikeouts. That's what they pay you for.
Speaker 1: And as a Dodgers fan, I could never get comfortable
Speaker 1: seeing that cheating bachch Correa stepping up to the plate
Speaker 1: wearing a Dodger uniform. And I think the Dodgers front
Speaker 1: office knows that band that the fans would just not
Speaker 1: get behind it at all. Yeah, I would be very
Speaker 1: surprised if he ends up with the Dodgers or the Yankees.
Speaker 1: I could see him going somewhere like Toronto. They've already
Speaker 1: got a cheating astro on then old cheating astro where
Speaker 1: the Tigers or somewhere along those lines, although I think
Speaker 1: the chroits less likely now. But talking baseball, thanks Charlos Man,
Speaker 1: Come on here we go. I can't wait for baseball
Speaker 1: season to start. Well, you're gonna have to wait. There's
Speaker 1: gonna be a work stopper. There's a work stoppice right now.
Speaker 1: Did you see that story that they're they're not even
Speaker 1: gonna really meet about the finances until January. January is
Speaker 1: not that far away. But shouldn't you take advantage of
Speaker 1: the time right now? Why waste the time? Now? Get
Speaker 1: those all the No one accepts the first offers anyway.
Speaker 1: So go in and you're you're gonna have to stay
Speaker 1: in a room and just don't leave the room until
Speaker 1: you see white smoke like the Vatican. And you've named
Speaker 1: the Pope, You've named the new deal in baseball. Why
Speaker 1: is this so hard? Datty, I don't understand. I don't
Speaker 1: get money is the root of all evil? Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd like to have a lot of it, but you'd
Speaker 1: like to You're like I'd like to be more evil. Yeah, evil, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it depends on evil. Like like Urban Meyer got fired
Speaker 1: the other night, right for the show, and depending on
Speaker 1: what happens, and there's lawyers involved. He's got in the
Speaker 1: ballpark of fifty million dollars left on his country. So
Speaker 1: Urban is public any number one. People love to just
Speaker 1: trash him, and I maybe he's a horrible Maybe he's
Speaker 1: the devil incarnate. I don't know, you know, he's a
Speaker 1: spawn of Satan. But he's fifty million dollars. People are
Speaker 1: trashing him online right and left. And there was this
Speaker 1: sound that came out of Jackson when Urban was like
Speaker 1: oh and it's like yeah, okay, So Urban lasted less
Speaker 1: than a year, gets fifty million, assuming he gets that money,
Speaker 1: and now it goes back to television, so he's he
Speaker 1: won the lottery. I said, amazing. I mean she and
Speaker 1: when that girl grinded on him at the bar, what
Speaker 1: was he supposed to do? Well, he might not have
Speaker 1: needed to put the hands where he put the hand
Speaker 1: he used to make sure she didn't she didn't have
Speaker 1: any kind of uh you know, she was well. He
Speaker 1: was checking for cancer. I think Chris in America coulda
Speaker 1: I think he sent another one in, Uh, let's see,
Speaker 1: or maybe I put that on. Yeah, I think I
Speaker 1: already did that one. Uh down, down, No, No, this
Speaker 1: is a new one. This is different. I think he
Speaker 1: said he posted one on Facebook and sent this one in. Oh,
Speaker 1: here it is, he says. Last season, the big Penny
Speaker 1: I sent you for Betty versus the penny was prominently
Speaker 1: featured despite gascon I haven't noticed it yet this season.
Speaker 1: Question is did it survive your recent move? Is it
Speaker 1: buried somewhere? Will it be found a hundred years from
Speaker 1: now at the bottom of some dusty box? Please Ben,
Speaker 1: give it one more chance to see the sun. Well, Chris,
Speaker 1: that's a great point, and it is in a storage facility.
Speaker 1: I have no idea where in the storage facility is.
Speaker 1: So I don't think it'll be a hundred years, because
Speaker 1: I won't live a hundred years, but it'll be a
Speaker 1: while before that season. A lot I'm opening. We can
Speaker 1: maybe over these holidays I'll be able to find it. Uh,
Speaker 1: he says. Also ps Danny g rocks. Uh. He says, However,
Speaker 1: sometimes I missed cursing at the heel guest gunt. You
Speaker 1: even curse it? Danny if you want, Danny, you don't
Speaker 1: mind that. I'm used to taking abuse from people on
Speaker 1: the other side of the microphones trapnel. You're used to
Speaker 1: take a trap ya Trey writes in from Parts of Known.
Speaker 1: He says, since Danny g has returned, can tinder on
Speaker 1: e Tips return sponsored by sleep Number? Perhaps well reference
Speaker 1: to back in the day whenever advertising. I still have
Speaker 1: a sleep Number bed. I still sleep on it. Well,
Speaker 1: it's great bed. You know they're pricey, but you got
Speaker 1: a good product and it's it's wonder once you go.
Speaker 1: Once you go down that rabbit hole, though, you don't
Speaker 1: go back. So I don't think I'll ever have a
Speaker 1: different bed, but you never know what advertisers who comes
Speaker 1: along might change my tune on that. Uh Tinderroni tips.
Speaker 1: Now you are engaged, Danny. You've announced that the big
Speaker 1: announcement here. We did meet on one of the dating sites.
Speaker 1: Anything online dating related. I can help you. Yeah, if
Speaker 1: we get maybe we can do it on the Saturday podcast.
Speaker 1: We can get relationship questions for the Saturday podcast if
Speaker 1: anybody has I'll put that up only dating relationship questions
Speaker 1: and we can bring back Tenderoni tips. We could do
Speaker 1: that from time to time if you'd like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll do it. Well, maybe once a month or maybe
Speaker 1: once every other month. Let's see who is next. Colie
Speaker 1: in Round Rock, Texas listens to the fifth Hour podcast
Speaker 1: he Write City says, the other day, I was watching
Speaker 1: a fantasy football show on TV and I couldn't get
Speaker 1: the closed caption turned off. Every time they would say
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, the closed caption showed Calamari, what is the
Speaker 1: funniest closed captioning that you have seen? Why? I usually
Speaker 1: don't pay attention to the closed captioning. My wife loves
Speaker 1: closed captioning. She watches a lot of foreign movies, which
Speaker 1: I hate, and she loves the close captioning. But with me,
Speaker 1: I don't really have a closed captioning story Coldie, but
Speaker 1: I do have my name. When I speak it into
Speaker 1: my phone, I'll do voice to text, and it's almost
Speaker 1: always Mallet, Ben Mallett. It always comes up. Never Mallard,
Speaker 1: it's always Mallet. Screw you, Bill Miller, And that's a
Speaker 1: pain in the ass that always gets me. Any any
Speaker 1: of those type of things with you, Danny, anything pop
Speaker 1: up there, you know. I've learned as far as subtitles, go.
Speaker 1: I've learned a lot of my Spanish from watch in
Speaker 1: the Narco series on Netflix. Thank you Netflix. Well that's great.
Speaker 1: That's like the story of people coming to America learning
Speaker 1: English from the Three Stooges or really TV shows, and
Speaker 1: that that's how they learned. It's been great because my
Speaker 1: neighbors speaks Spanish, so I've been, you know, going back
Speaker 1: and forth when I see him in the morning and
Speaker 1: he just wonders why I'm always talking about drugs. That's great.
Speaker 1: I have not checked that show out, but thank you Coley.
Speaker 1: You've gotta watch Narco span I'm the only show I
Speaker 1: really watched, like Curb your Enthusiasm these days. That's about it.
Speaker 1: Come on, brought in your horizons. I know Craig in
Speaker 1: the Camel City formerly of St. Louis, writes in he says,
Speaker 1: I have a question for you, but not for the
Speaker 1: fifth hour. Too late, Craig, Too late, Craig, it's on
Speaker 1: the fifth hour. I won't read the whole thing, he says.
Speaker 1: The last podcast, the fifth hour I listened to, you
Speaker 1: mentioned that you're coming to North Carolina. Of course, Craig
Speaker 1: lives in North Carolina, says, I know you mentioned that
Speaker 1: it is for a wedding, but is it possible to
Speaker 1: try to do a Mallard meet and Greek. Well, it
Speaker 1: is absolutely possible, Craig. I have to get the green
Speaker 1: light from the Ball and Chain on that. And I'm
Speaker 1: not really sure how long I'm gonna be in North Carolina.
Speaker 1: I figured that's a long way to go from California,
Speaker 1: so I should probably maximize my time on the East Coast.
Speaker 1: I might go up and see my brother who lives
Speaker 1: in New York, for example, but I'd like to I
Speaker 1: would like to do a Mallard meet and greet. And
Speaker 1: so we're way off on that this is gonna happen.
Speaker 1: I think the weddings in your March or April. So
Speaker 1: I will keep you posted, Craig. I'm sure I'll give
Speaker 1: updates on the podcast, but I would need to know.
Speaker 1: I don't know any locations in North Carolina to have
Speaker 1: a Mallard meetread so if you know anybody, Craig, start
Speaker 1: looking around at like a sports bar, a restaurant somewhere
Speaker 1: that might want to host the event. That would help
Speaker 1: us out a lot. And also, uh, just thinking down
Speaker 1: the line, Danny, I need to get to Minnesota. Mine.
Speaker 1: One of my goals is to do a meet in greet, Minnesota.
Speaker 1: In all things being equal, so we need a good location,
Speaker 1: my guys in Minnesota, if you can find a good
Speaker 1: location in the Twin Cities that would be open to
Speaker 1: having an event. And I always say, I don't know
Speaker 1: how many people are gonna show up to these things, Danny.
Speaker 1: Sometimes there's like five people, sometimes there's twenty people, sometimes
Speaker 1: there thirty people. Uh, you never know who's gonna show.
Speaker 1: A lot of people make plans to show up, you know,
Speaker 1: like when you were doing DJ stuff and you'd go
Speaker 1: to vote and people it's, oh yeah, I go there,
Speaker 1: and sometimes it would be awesome and be huge, and
Speaker 1: other times there'll be nobody there and it's really sporadic.
Speaker 1: You don't really know. You always tell you Ben when
Speaker 1: you're coming up. You have fun whether there's five people
Speaker 1: or five thousand people. You enjoy your night. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: the cool thing is often when there's less people, it's
Speaker 1: I get more one on one time with people because
Speaker 1: I always feel like a beat. I feel like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, it's ninety six point seven percent men the audience,
Speaker 1: but we have a few women and few women have
Speaker 1: risen the prominence that are fans of the show. Uh.
Speaker 1: I know on this podcast, Jennifer and Richmond's rising up
Speaker 1: the level of a podcast contributor, Tammy and Montana for
Speaker 1: the show as well. And I love the women's sports
Speaker 1: fans and the women who rock fs are constantly. But
Speaker 1: like you said, Ben, it's funny because you know, if
Speaker 1: you're like a DJ for a hip hop station or
Speaker 1: a rock station, you got all the girls calling the
Speaker 1: phone and listening. But it's not the same with sports
Speaker 1: talk radio because it's mainly guys that listen to sports talk.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. When I was at Kiss AM, which
Speaker 1: was Extra Sports eleven fifty, right down the hall was
Speaker 1: a legendary l a radio station, Kiss FM. What oh
Speaker 1: two point seven Kiss FM, And at that time it
Speaker 1: was Rick D's in the morning. But I was friends
Speaker 1: with the nighttime guys, oh boy, and we would because
Speaker 1: I did the night show, we'd hang out with the
Speaker 1: night guys. And I remember the difference just by walking
Speaker 1: down the hall. It was all dudes on one side,
Speaker 1: and then it was all like teenage girls, teeny boppers
Speaker 1: that would call in to Kiss FM. And this is
Speaker 1: so long ago, I'm dating myself here. There was a
Speaker 1: band called Hanson. Remember the band, Yeah, unfortunately I do
Speaker 1: remember that. Yeah, that was terrible. But this is back
Speaker 1: in the nineties and they Hansen came in to Kiss
Speaker 1: FM at night and there were teenage girls wrapped around
Speaker 1: the building. I don't even know how. I guess they
Speaker 1: just listened to the radio. But that was before the way,
Speaker 1: before social media, and they came down to the radio stations.
Speaker 1: They didn't know where Hanson was going to come out
Speaker 1: of the building, but they were. They were wrapping around
Speaker 1: the buildings so they could get photo op with Hanson.
Speaker 1: But anyway, I used to hang out with those guys
Speaker 1: and it was crazy. And there are two of the
Speaker 1: two of the guys I was buddies with are still
Speaker 1: in l A radio. Valentine who does a morning show
Speaker 1: in law C in the l A market on one
Speaker 1: of three Valentine in the morning, and I'd hang out
Speaker 1: with him all the time. And then Jojo on the
Speaker 1: raid EO, who is still I think I think he's
Speaker 1: still at Kiss FM. I have to double check, but
Speaker 1: I last I heard he was still at Kiss FM
Speaker 1: doing like afternoon Drive or something like that. So so
Speaker 1: you saw what it was like to be an FM DJ.
Speaker 1: I lived through them. I lived through their lives and
Speaker 1: I did get to go in there. But it was
Speaker 1: pretty cool, Like sometimes we would play Madden. I'd get
Speaker 1: done with the overnight show at approximately one in the morning,
Speaker 1: and I'm a single guy. No woman will get near me,
Speaker 1: so living the radio life, living the apartment in Hollywood
Speaker 1: by myself. So I just hang out with the guys
Speaker 1: that Kiss FM and we'd play Madden. We played Madden
Speaker 1: in the studio, all the music played, and I had
Speaker 1: had very fun memories of that, and then we had
Speaker 1: to get out of there before Rick D showed up.
Speaker 1: But these usually taped the first hour of the show,
Speaker 1: so we had extra time. Dan. Yeah, he mastered it
Speaker 1: these the night you hear me. Ricky's nicest guy I've
Speaker 1: ever met. I have nothing bad to say about Rick D's.
Speaker 1: He could not have been nicer. He was at the
Speaker 1: very top of radio when I met him, and I
Speaker 1: was at the very bottom of radio, and he was
Speaker 1: as nice as he could be. It's like that old saying,
Speaker 1: it'll be nice to the people on the way up,
Speaker 1: because the same people you're gonna see on the way down.
Speaker 1: And that was Rick D's man he was. And then
Speaker 1: I remember I saw d S after his career. He
Speaker 1: had a TV show, a network TV show at one point,
Speaker 1: like Late Night with Rick Ds. What was that song
Speaker 1: that he did? Duck Duck some Ducks songs Duck just
Speaker 1: go Duck, Yes, Disco Duck, that's it. Yeah, legend man.
Speaker 1: And of course remember Jay Thomas, Oh j Thomas another
Speaker 1: another school DJ radio legend. Yes, l a legends, that's right.
Speaker 1: And but D's when I ran into the last time
Speaker 1: I ran into Rick's, he introduced himself and I says, I, Hi,
Speaker 1: I am, I'm trying to pay I'll pare a phrase
Speaker 1: he said, Hi, I'm Rick. I used to be Rick Dy's.
Speaker 1: I used to be famous. That was like that was
Speaker 1: and uh it was. It was very cool. So I'm
Speaker 1: happy to hear stories like that about guys like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he always spoiled everyone. The only quirk I remember
Speaker 1: about d S is that he loved the nineteen seventies
Speaker 1: equipment because that's when he became prominent in radio. So
Speaker 1: Kiss FM had all the newest equipment, but in the
Speaker 1: Rick D's studio, they had this old nineteen seventies board
Speaker 1: with the twisty knobs, and that's that's what D's learned
Speaker 1: how to do, and he didn't want to switch over,
Speaker 1: and so they kept having to fix that up and all.
Speaker 1: And so I've heard those stories. While the world was digital,
Speaker 1: he wanted analog. He was the analog man in the
Speaker 1: digital world, right, He's the guy using the typewriter instead
Speaker 1: of the computer. And that anyway, we gotta get out
Speaker 1: of here. Just a programming note for me. I will
Speaker 1: be on ray d Oh tonight and I'll be on
Speaker 1: most of the week. I will not be on Thursday
Speaker 1: into Friday, so I'll be off that night leading into
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve, and then i'll be off until the New
Speaker 1: Year after that. But I'm not doing a few extra shows.
Speaker 1: And but you'll you'll be in a lot, Danny, as
Speaker 1: you told us, you're you're into yeah, and I'm sure
Speaker 1: you'll be in a lot over the next couple of weeks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: inside the Fox Sports Radio studio from five to eleven
Speaker 1: PM on Sunday and throughout the holiday here and there.
Speaker 1: I'll be filling specific right that specific time, yes, and
Speaker 1: throughout the holiday I'll be filling in on the network.
Speaker 1: So you'll hear me pop up on the microphone from
Speaker 1: time to time. All right, and before I forget, I will,
Speaker 1: I do want to thank the Arizona Republic every time
Speaker 1: I mentioned Kyler Murray. Danny g Hey column is written
Speaker 1: in the local newspaper, the Paper Record in Phoenix. There
Speaker 1: they're not happy with me because I ripped Kyler after
Speaker 1: the game against the Rams the other night. I guess
Speaker 1: it's a delayed reaction. And but anyway, have a great holiday.
Speaker 1: If you don't listen to the radio show this week,
Speaker 1: if you're part of the show, and mallem militia and
Speaker 1: all that, we thank you. Be safe, drive all that stuff,
Speaker 1: you know, be nice to people. Try to find somebody

Speaker 1: and spend time with them. And if you don't have
Speaker 1: any of any loved ones or anything, you know, just
Speaker 1: you gotta find something to hang out with another creature,
Speaker 1: whether it's a human being or a pet, that you
Speaker 1: can hang out with over the holidays. We will, we'll
Speaker 1: be back and thank you to any good job. Take
