WEBVTT - The Fifth Hour: "Necessary Pushback" Mail Bag 

0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Kabbooms.

0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:05.360
<v Speaker 2>If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:09.200
<v Speaker 2>a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.480
<v Speaker 2>of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He

0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:15.480
<v Speaker 2>treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:19.480
<v Speaker 2>rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow, it's the clearinghouse

0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:23.200
<v Speaker 2>of hot takes. Break free for something special. The Fifth

0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.

0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:34.160
<v Speaker 1>In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben

0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Maller and Danny g Radio in NFL Sunday. It's week

0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:42.640
<v Speaker 1>number four, the full week. We had that appetizer the

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>other night on Thursday. We actually was a good game,

0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:47.680
<v Speaker 1>well relatively speaking for teams. You don't really care about

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 1>the Seahawks and the Cardinals. But we're back at it today.

0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:52.519
<v Speaker 1>Danny Gee with us on the mail bag. He has

0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:58.440
<v Speaker 1>sashayed his way into the Fifth Hour podcast remote studio,

0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 1>fingam a jig. That that's what we do is from

0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:06.440
<v Speaker 1>early on a Sunday morning, Danny and we have NFL football.

0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Very shortly. There's a game in Ireland today that'll be

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 1>kicking off. Yeah, what is up with that? Vikings and Steelers?

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:17.679
<v Speaker 1>Do you see Aaron Rodgers complaining because the Steelers did

0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>not go to Ireland early in the week and he

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 1>didn't have any to go out.

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 3>Insert baby crying effects here.

0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:33.840
<v Speaker 4>He said, it looks like a pretty country from the pictures.

0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty sure that he can afford to go there

0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:40.039
<v Speaker 1>on his own time, but I guess he wanted a

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 1>work life balance situation. Is that where he wanted to

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.960
<v Speaker 1>go and enjoy the scenery and all that. And these

0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>guys are such coddle babies, these professional athletes. Did you

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 1>see they were complaining because the Steelers did not fly

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 1>first class to Ireland. The Vikings had a first class

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>plane and the Steelers didn't have a first class plane.

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 1>And it's, uh, I gotta tell you again, Danny, we're

0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>around the same age, Like this is one of those things, right,

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>It's like we were growing up. It's like you wore

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:14.280
<v Speaker 1>that as a badge of honor, that you did it

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.799
<v Speaker 1>the heart away. Right now it's you go on social

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.960
<v Speaker 1>media and complain because you didn't have a nice enough

0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:22.079
<v Speaker 1>plane to go to Ireland.

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 4>Suck it, Steelers, because the immaculate reception actually hit the turf.

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:30.399
<v Speaker 1>There you go, not that you're still bitter and broken about.

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 4>I wasn't around for it, but the video footage that

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 4>doesn't exist.

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 3>Yes, conspiracies, do do do do do do do do

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 3>do do do do do do.

0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.000
<v Speaker 1>What's gonna happen? Speaking of conspiracies, I saw this week

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:43.800
<v Speaker 1>that they're planning on going back to the.

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 3>Moon Artemis two.

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Is that a private thing or is that a NASA thing?

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:54.320
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a NASA thing this time. Okay, all right,

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 1>So there's people that believe this was fake when they

0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 1>went the first time. So are they going to say

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>this fake?

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:00.840
<v Speaker 3>Also?

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Is it what if it looks a lot different this

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 1>time because they have better cameras now than they did then, right?

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 4>People who say that the flag on the Moon wouldn't

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:13.079
<v Speaker 4>have waved like that.

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I heard that, And then I think there was

0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 1>an engineer that said the reason was it was like

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 1>that was because of the craft that landed on the

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.520
<v Speaker 1>on the Moon. I forget, I have to go back

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:34.200
<v Speaker 1>and check, but I heard an explanation why it was

0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.840
<v Speaker 1>like that. And then I've also those people that are

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 1>convinced it was filmed actually in southern California where we

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 1>are in the high desert, that they went out and

0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 1>filmed it in the high desert in that So whatever, Well,

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:52.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure we'll hear much more about that. When is

0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 1>that going to happen, like ten years from now or something.

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.200
<v Speaker 1>It always takes a long time for these things to happen.

0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:03.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, way before they jumped homeless people off from Palmdale.

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Well they have more if they want to dump more

0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 1>people off of Palmdale, there's plenty. Look at it, says

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty seven. That's not that far away. That's not

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 1>that far away, says a crew should be on the

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:19.599
<v Speaker 1>lunar surface of the Moon in twenty twenty seven, and

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 1>says the land is being developed by space X. It's

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:28.560
<v Speaker 1>not ready. It's not ready, and so okay, not worried

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 1>about that. We have NFL football today. And have you

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:35.640
<v Speaker 1>given up on your Raiders yet? Danny one and two

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:37.560
<v Speaker 1>are used to get looking forward to seeing them take

0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:39.680
<v Speaker 1>down the Bears today? Are you fired up for that?

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 4>The Chicago defense stinks against the run, and the Raiders

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 4>o line has been atrocious, as we mentioned last weekend

0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:50.479
<v Speaker 4>on the pod. Hopefully gent doesn't get hit behind the

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 4>line of scrimmage every time he touches the ball. Hopefully

0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:57.600
<v Speaker 4>Pete Carroll's son and dad stops being so damned stubborn

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 4>about how they pieced together that line.

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 1>That would be good. You have the highest paid offensive

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 1>coordinator in the NFL, Chip Kelly, you might want to

0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>improve the offense and even the numbers of the Raiders

0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:10.640
<v Speaker 1>who put up on offense. At that game in Washington

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.840
<v Speaker 1>that was there was some major garbage time stat stuffing.

0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:17.039
<v Speaker 1>Danny g As you you watched that game because Gino

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.640
<v Speaker 1>had a couple of touchdowns on the fourth quarter and

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of yards and he didn't really play all that. Well,

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll be at the Ram game today. Rams are playing

0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Danny Dimes in the Colts.

0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:30.520
<v Speaker 4>Who are you don't say I'm gonna be at the

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 4>Rams game later today too?

0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Is that right? Look at you? Unbelievable, amazing. Where are

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna be? Maybe we'll catch up? Who knows?

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:44.560
<v Speaker 4>Our boss did a raffle back on Friday and Iowa

0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:46.560
<v Speaker 4>Sam won a pair of the tickets and I want

0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 4>a pair of the tickets.

0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Look at that? Unbelievable. Yeah.

0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:59.400
<v Speaker 3>So when you're doing your whole media schmooze fest.

0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, if you want, I can bring you a little

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 1>gift packet if you want, are you going with your wife?

0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Who you're going with?

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:07.160
<v Speaker 4>I got a few hours here to figure that out.

0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 4>I have a couple of people fighting over the second

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:10.760
<v Speaker 4>ticket I have.

0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.360
<v Speaker 1>I got you, I got you, all right, Well, that's cool.

0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:16.200
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know they had a raffle. I wasn't invited

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 1>to the raffle. I had no idea. Well, you don't

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 1>ever check your work emails. That's true, that is correct.

0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I do not check the work email at all. But

0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.840
<v Speaker 1>I will beat the game today, so I'm looking forward

0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.600
<v Speaker 1>to to seeing if the Rams can bounce back after

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.040
<v Speaker 1>they coughed up a fur a ball against the Eagles.

0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.359
<v Speaker 1>What a terrible loss that was. And I'll be watching

0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:36.240
<v Speaker 1>on my laptop. While I'm watching the Ram game, I'll

0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:39.480
<v Speaker 1>be watching the Ravens and the Chiefs, which is the

0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:43.920
<v Speaker 1>big game in the late television window today, and then

0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:48.600
<v Speaker 1>tonight I will watch the Packers and the Dallas Cowboys.

0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 1>So this should be a good day. And so last

0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.279
<v Speaker 1>day of the baseball season, last day of the regular

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:56.840
<v Speaker 1>season in baseball. So there's still still some stuff, not much,

0:06:56.880 --> 0:07:00.880
<v Speaker 1>but still some stuff to be sorted out. Yay, all right,

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.200
<v Speaker 1>let's get to the well, we'll catch up to the ramby.

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's get to the mail bag. It's time for the

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 1>mail bag. Here we go.

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 3>It's this mail bag.

0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 1>All right, very exciting. Thank you, ohio al. These are

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.840
<v Speaker 1>actual letters by actual listeners. And if you'd like to

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 1>send a letter into the mail bag, you can do that.

0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Cara Real fifth hour at gmail dot com. That's Real

0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.560
<v Speaker 1>fifth hour at gmail dot com. First up on the

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:42.559
<v Speaker 1>mail bag is Alf from Podcasts Gone By Alf Write

0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Sin says, first and foremost, why are AirPods so hard

0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:49.480
<v Speaker 1>to hang on to? I agree, I once dropped, Alf

0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.920
<v Speaker 1>says my AirPods at work under a paper cutter. And

0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:56.000
<v Speaker 1>by papercutter, I don't mean the kind you had in

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.160
<v Speaker 1>grammar school. I mean the kind that weighs thousands of

0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:04.000
<v Speaker 1>pounds and has a forty five inch blade that weighs

0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:08.880
<v Speaker 1>fifty pounds? Does out you think Alf works at it's

0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 1>like the office. He works at a paper mill. You

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 1>think he works at a paper company. I don't know anyway.

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 3>That's what it sounds like.

0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it does, it says I like you. Ben was

0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:24.240
<v Speaker 1>on my hands and knees fishing around for a loan earbud,

0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:28.560
<v Speaker 1>only to move some machinery and find the missing earbud

0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:32.720
<v Speaker 1>broken due to my movements of set machinery, he says,

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 1>hashtag fun fact. Amazon sells individual buds that pair fine

0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:39.640
<v Speaker 1>with working earbuds. I did not know that.

0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:40.720
<v Speaker 3>Did you know that?

0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:42.920
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know that. So if you lose if you

0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 1>lose an AirPod, you can get If you lose one,

0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:48.880
<v Speaker 1>you can get another one. That's pretty cool. Thank you.

0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:49.199
<v Speaker 3>Off.

0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:51.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna have to remember that because I inevitably I'm

0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:55.320
<v Speaker 1>a klutz. I will absolutely lose them at some point.

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.719
<v Speaker 1>I know it's going to happen. Although this week I

0:08:57.800 --> 0:08:59.320
<v Speaker 1>am proud of myself, Dany. I went to the gym

0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:03.720
<v Speaker 1>a couple time, and I made sure to not open

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:07.880
<v Speaker 1>the air pods until I got into the gym, and

0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.439
<v Speaker 1>then when I got to the car after the gym,

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.320
<v Speaker 1>I didn't take them out of my ears until the

0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:17.480
<v Speaker 1>door of the car was closed. Therefore they could not

0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:21.320
<v Speaker 1>fall out of the car and on to the turf

0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:24.840
<v Speaker 1>or the not the turf, the asphalt there and be lost.

0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.160
<v Speaker 3>So good job by you, thank you.

0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate that, and Alf says, secondly, going back to

0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Friday's pod, a little known fun fact about yours truly

0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:40.360
<v Speaker 1>is that my grandfather on my mother's side was a

0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:45.760
<v Speaker 1>lumberjack in ken Yet yesterday was lumberjack lumberjack Day, he says.

0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:49.400
<v Speaker 1>A unfund fact is that he met his untimely demise

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:53.200
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen fifty two, when my mother was only sixteen

0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 1>years old, due to a tree that he was cutting

0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:03.280
<v Speaker 1>falling the wrong way. Hashtag be downer. Wow, he says,

0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:05.240
<v Speaker 1>I thought these podcasts were supposed to be fun. At

0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.640
<v Speaker 1>least the audio quality is top not signed your favorite

0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:14.360
<v Speaker 1>audio snob. Yeah, no, Alf, you have high standards and

0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:17.640
<v Speaker 1>that's good. God forbid. Someone listening to a radio show

0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.760
<v Speaker 1>wants to actually hear the show. What's wrong with You?

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Reggie from Detroit writes, and he says, hey guys, hey Ben,

0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.240
<v Speaker 1>what's going on with producer lead A Lap I listened

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.520
<v Speaker 1>to your show and the Joners Show after yours. He's

0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:33.839
<v Speaker 1>been away for a while. Nobody's said anything from Reggie.

0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:35.960
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea, right, that's not my show. I

0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:38.560
<v Speaker 1>like Lee. I don't know what's going on with that,

0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.040
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully he'll be back.

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.200
<v Speaker 3>But I was he just on vacation?

0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Maybe No, I don't think he was on vacation.

0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:46.040
<v Speaker 3>I don't.

0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:50.319
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea. Oh, so hopefully he'll be back again.

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.400
<v Speaker 3>That's that's not right now and wake him up.

0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, probably not not a good idea. Next up, we

0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:01.600
<v Speaker 1>have what is this? Jose rights and it says mister

0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 1>has a high band and mister g Jose here originally

0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:09.920
<v Speaker 1>from NorCal, now living somewhere in Massachusetts. As a kid

0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:14.000
<v Speaker 1>growing up, I was the biggest San Francisco Giants fan.

0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.680
<v Speaker 1>I never missed the game, even listening to games on

0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:21.880
<v Speaker 1>the radio when they were not on TV. Analytics and

0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.680
<v Speaker 1>the DH in the National League and interleague play ruined

0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:29.720
<v Speaker 1>baseball for me. The pitchers are soft as baby poop.

0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh lola. Now, I can't stand baseball. Jose says it

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:40.839
<v Speaker 1>is boring. He says, like soccer. Do you think you'll

0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:44.360
<v Speaker 1>ever give up on the Dodgers. I know that's hard

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:46.920
<v Speaker 1>for you because of your job, but the Dodgers suck

0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:52.560
<v Speaker 1>and are too soft. My daughter Marlene says, hi, she's

0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:56.640
<v Speaker 1>nine and nine says here she's beieve It says she's

0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:58.200
<v Speaker 1>nine and loves the podcast.

0:11:58.440 --> 0:11:58.880
<v Speaker 3>There you go.

0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, hello to Marlene, thank you for listening. And Jose,

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.440
<v Speaker 1>will I ever give up the Dodgers, though the Dodgers

0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:07.960
<v Speaker 1>have kind of given up me though since they got Otani.

0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:11.280
<v Speaker 1>It's not the same. So let's just say I don't

0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.120
<v Speaker 1>have as much love for the Dodgers as I did

0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:16.319
<v Speaker 1>a few years ago. When they do you dirty, yeah,

0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:18.559
<v Speaker 1>you kind of move away from where you had been.

0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:21.200
<v Speaker 1>But that, you know, everyone's got decisions to make in life,

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:23.200
<v Speaker 1>and what they make, you know, is in a decision

0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.280
<v Speaker 1>that the Dodger PR staff made their decision. And let's

0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:28.480
<v Speaker 1>just say, I'm not as engaged as I had been

0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:29.120
<v Speaker 1>in the past.

0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:32.680
<v Speaker 3>You missed that Angels type treatment that you was good.

0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:38.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, right, No, It's just it's been eye opening the

0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:40.760
<v Speaker 1>last couple of years. That's all I'll say. That's all

0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:44.360
<v Speaker 1>I'll say on that one. He also says, why don't

0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:47.719
<v Speaker 1>you put the meat and greet events on YouTube? We

0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.880
<v Speaker 1>love to see more of you guys. That is from

0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:57.720
<v Speaker 1>jose and his daughter Marlene. So sure. The only issue

0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:02.600
<v Speaker 1>with that is someone would have to record those things

0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:05.760
<v Speaker 1>for YouTube. The YouTube channel is run by Fox Sports

0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:10.400
<v Speaker 1>Radio and the IT department at Fox Sports Radio, and

0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:14.440
<v Speaker 1>the company has chosen to not invest in the meet

0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:15.960
<v Speaker 1>and greet. So these are things that we do on

0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.680
<v Speaker 1>our own. They don't give us any kind of a

0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:21.960
<v Speaker 1>budget because it's just our own event, so they'd have

0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.320
<v Speaker 1>to send somebody out there that would cost them money.

0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:28.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm guessing that will not happen, Jose, but I would

0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:30.880
<v Speaker 1>love for it. I've I've pitched for years that they

0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.960
<v Speaker 1>spend a little money, get some advertisers, Let's do a

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:35.800
<v Speaker 1>bunch of meet and Greece. Let's do one every other

0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:39.280
<v Speaker 1>month and just go around and promote them in the

0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:41.960
<v Speaker 1>whole thing. But they've chosen to go a different direction

0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.240
<v Speaker 1>on that, so I don't think that's going to happen.

0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Ferg Dog in Fullerton, writes and says evening, gentlemen, Evening.

0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:53.040
<v Speaker 3>Says Fergie Ferg. Yeah, it's not the evening for us

0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:53.520
<v Speaker 3>right now.

0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Good news, guys, I finally completed my Disney autograph book. Well,

0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:01.760
<v Speaker 1>congratulations for a dog. I've got every single mask got

0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.080
<v Speaker 1>in there. I had to put up with a lot

0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:07.000
<v Speaker 1>of crying kids to get them, especially a few weeks ago,

0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:11.440
<v Speaker 1>but I got them. He said, well, what do you

0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:14.199
<v Speaker 1>think the hardest one to get out of the Disney characters?

0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:15.719
<v Speaker 3>Wehl airly Goofy.

0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:18.520
<v Speaker 4>That's what he's referring to if you're hear a podcast

0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:20.240
<v Speaker 4>or I think three weekends again.

0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.480
<v Speaker 1>To celebrate the occasion, I'd like to ask what your

0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:30.520
<v Speaker 1>favorite Disney movie was growing up. Take as much time

0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.720
<v Speaker 1>as you need to think it over. I've got all day,

0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:38.520
<v Speaker 1>it says the Engaging fur Dog. When it comes to

0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:43.280
<v Speaker 1>that favorite Disney movie, I all some all of them. Uh,

0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:45.960
<v Speaker 1>you know the one I liked that's underrated, it's in

0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:49.000
<v Speaker 1>my head right now is the cartoon version of Robin Hood.

0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I like that a lot. I thought that was pretty cool.

0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.280
<v Speaker 1>That was a Disney movie, right, the cartoon one. Remember

0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:55.440
<v Speaker 1>the original Robin Hood?

0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:57.800
<v Speaker 3>Oh, the old school Robb the og.

0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I always liked that one. I thought that was

0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:01.200
<v Speaker 1>a cool.

0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:01.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:04.240
<v Speaker 4>My grandmother took us to the drive in to see

0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:06.160
<v Speaker 4>that when I was a little kid. Oh man, that's

0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:06.760
<v Speaker 4>old school.

0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, on multiple layers? Is that old school?

0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:12.840
<v Speaker 3>She got us some Pioneered Chicken before we went to

0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 3>the theater.

0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:16.600
<v Speaker 1>The Pioneer's a couple left, only a couple of Pioneered

0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Chicken left. A classic location two locations in southern California.

0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:25.760
<v Speaker 1>I believe there's two locations in southern California. Yeah, I

0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.280
<v Speaker 1>mean I saw all the Disney movies my parents. My

0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.000
<v Speaker 1>mom loved Disney stuff. She had the whole Disney collection

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:36.920
<v Speaker 1>growing up, so we watched everything, everything, everything. You have

<v Speaker 4>a few nights back, and CoA has been collecting all

0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:03.960
<v Speaker 4>the different characters from Cars.

0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:07.120
<v Speaker 1>No, that's cool, cos still way too small to go

0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:08.760
<v Speaker 1>on the actual Cars ride though.

0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.560
<v Speaker 3>Right, you can't too small for that? Yeah, too small

0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:12.080
<v Speaker 3>for that. Yeah.

0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:15.720
<v Speaker 4>We took him in cars Land inside California Adventure and

<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah.

0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:20.000
<v Speaker 1>As a kid man, that must be like just your

0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:23.400
<v Speaker 1>eyes popping out of your head, like this is unbelievable,

0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.520
<v Speaker 1>this is crazy. Scott from Florida writes in on the

0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Mailbag the Fifth Hour podcast. If you'd like to send

0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:31.280
<v Speaker 1>a message in for some reason, if you didn't listen

0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:34.720
<v Speaker 1>at the beginning you fast forwarded through the mailbag, send

0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.040
<v Speaker 1>us a question. It won't be used today, but it'll

0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:39.320
<v Speaker 1>be used next week on the mailbag Real fifth Hour

0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:42.760
<v Speaker 1>at gmail dot com, Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com.

0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Scott says, hey, Ben and Danny, Ben, you joked about

0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:50.400
<v Speaker 1>somebody drinking an Arnold Palmer by the pool the other

0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:54.440
<v Speaker 1>day and your Marconi deserving Mallard monologues. If someone were

0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:59.600
<v Speaker 1>to create a Ben Maler and or a Danny g

0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:05.040
<v Speaker 1>what would the drink entail? A Scott from Florida would

0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.840
<v Speaker 1>have some orange juice, of course, maybe a drop of

0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:12.240
<v Speaker 1>salt water to ensure the crazy in Florida is represented,

0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:16.879
<v Speaker 1>and a squeeze of waffle House syrup for a sweetener

0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:21.440
<v Speaker 1>as an ode to the waffle House hurricane index. Finally,

0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Florida being a vacation destination. I think it's got to

0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:29.040
<v Speaker 1>be rum for the alcohol. What are your thoughts? That's

0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:33.119
<v Speaker 1>Scott from Florida. So I'd love to have a drink.

0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:35.919
<v Speaker 1>We've got the food dishes in Kansas City and in Denver,

0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:38.639
<v Speaker 1>and I'd love to have the drink. That would be wonderful.

0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Still want the malard pizza? Would like that malard pizza

0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:45.200
<v Speaker 1>would be good. Mallard cheeseburger double cheeseburger would be solid

0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.760
<v Speaker 1>as well. I don't know what jee I mean. I'm

0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:50.120
<v Speaker 1>not a huge drinker. I'm guessing it would be a

0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:53.760
<v Speaker 1>It would be a fruit based drink, like a cranberry,

0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:58.359
<v Speaker 1>maybe some orange mixed together, and you know, I'm open.

0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:00.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm open to it. We could get creative of that

0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:02.760
<v Speaker 1>would be a good idea. Danny go into a bar.

0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.640
<v Speaker 1>We got a lot of bartenders that listen to the show.

0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Got a guy into Moine for example, going there and

0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:11.320
<v Speaker 1>just like futs around with different combinations and see what

0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:12.960
<v Speaker 1>you like and then boom at your drink.

0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:14.560
<v Speaker 3>Why not?

0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:18.280
<v Speaker 1>What about you?

0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:21.840
<v Speaker 3>You know? I would go prune juice and rum. I'd

0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:27.320
<v Speaker 3>call it the prum prune juice.

0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:31.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, because you could get faded and clean out your

0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:32.680
<v Speaker 4>system all at the same time.

0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:37.560
<v Speaker 1>The two for one special, the daily double Danny's there,

0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:42.440
<v Speaker 1>you go, even health nuts mixed with the party people

0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:44.639
<v Speaker 1>and they'd be pushing up to the bar saying, you know,

0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:45.680
<v Speaker 1>I want the Danny jeep.

0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:46.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, all right, So you're going away from the original

0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:52.479
<v Speaker 1>Danny g which was was that the Roofies was at

0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:53.280
<v Speaker 1>the original No, I'm.

0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:57.760
<v Speaker 4>Kidding, I'm from the Garadelli family, not the Pudding Pop family.

0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Hello, Eric is thank you by the way, Scott from Florida,

0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:06.240
<v Speaker 1>you signed your name. Good job by you. Eric in

0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Chula Vista, Eric from Just Sunday, I go away, beautiful

0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Cheula Vista. Do I get Cardiff by the Sea? Can

0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:17.680
<v Speaker 1>I get a Cardiff by the Sea? Get a East County,

0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:21.440
<v Speaker 1>North County? Come on anyway? Eric and Cheula Vista rights

0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:23.600
<v Speaker 1>and says, hey, Ben and Danny g I have been

0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:28.120
<v Speaker 1>a secret non caller p one for years. Good job

0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:31.119
<v Speaker 1>by you, Eric, He says. When the podcast first launched,

0:19:31.160 --> 0:19:34.280
<v Speaker 1>you and Gagon begged us to help goose the numbers

0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:38.360
<v Speaker 1>by downloading it on every device and site, grandparents' phones,

0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:43.040
<v Speaker 1>smart toasters, you name it. That's right, and Eric says,

0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:46.680
<v Speaker 1>So when I visited my mom, I sneakily subscribed her

0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:51.560
<v Speaker 1>to your podcast. Fast forward five years. She calls me

0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:55.480
<v Speaker 1>in a panic, saying her phone is super low on space.

0:19:56.640 --> 0:20:00.040
<v Speaker 1>Story continues. Eric says, funny thing is since she he

0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:03.040
<v Speaker 1>only knows how to make an answer calls and only

0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:06.760
<v Speaker 1>knows how to read and not send text messages. I

0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:10.480
<v Speaker 1>checked the storage and discovered her phone had become the

0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:15.639
<v Speaker 1>Library of Congress for the fifth hour podcast. Every single episode,

0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:19.399
<v Speaker 1>every single episode was still there. It turns out I

0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:22.800
<v Speaker 1>never said it to auto delete, so she was basically

0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:27.360
<v Speaker 1>carrying around the Smithsonian of your podcast. That's awesome.

0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:28.919
<v Speaker 3>That is hilarious.

0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:33.439
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, thank you for that. Eric, that's great. So

0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:37.040
<v Speaker 1>it takes about according to this, it takes about five

0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:42.080
<v Speaker 1>years to save up every podcast and then eventually you

0:20:42.200 --> 0:20:45.840
<v Speaker 1>have to delete the podcast because you have no more

0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:49.040
<v Speaker 1>space on your phone yet. And we still support that. Eric,

0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:50.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you brought that up because we haven't brought

0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:54.200
<v Speaker 1>this issue to the podcast in a while. But when

0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I did do it with Gagon, who retired to Florida

0:20:56.840 --> 0:20:58.840
<v Speaker 1>years ago, and I've had a great time with Danny

0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:01.440
<v Speaker 1>g But when we we used to beg people, Danny,

0:21:01.440 --> 0:21:04.840
<v Speaker 1>because we figured out that a lot of a lot

0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:07.720
<v Speaker 1>of people have older parents and grandparents or whatever and

0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:12.160
<v Speaker 1>obviously older and they have their phones and they can

0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:16.919
<v Speaker 1>download the podcast, they can subscribe, so we can, as

0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Eric said, here goose the numbers a little bit by

0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:24.880
<v Speaker 1>having kids subscribe their parents to the podcast, and it does.

0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:27.760
<v Speaker 3>Work pretty surest law, Wow.

0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:29.960
<v Speaker 1>It's a law. It's podcasting. There are no laws, right,

0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:33.120
<v Speaker 1>it's all it's the wild Wild West man, it's podcasting.

0:21:34.000 --> 0:21:34.359
<v Speaker 3>Thank you.

0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:40.320
<v Speaker 1>I do appreciate your support, Eric, and you are in

0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:44.720
<v Speaker 1>the silent majority, because trust me, if we only went

0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:48.280
<v Speaker 1>by the people that participate in these radio shows and podcasts,

0:21:48.280 --> 0:21:51.400
<v Speaker 1>we would not have very many people who are participating

0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:53.159
<v Speaker 1>or who are listening. But we have many, many more

0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:57.000
<v Speaker 1>people who are just silently listening and ease dropping in

0:21:57.000 --> 0:22:00.399
<v Speaker 1>into whatever we're talking about. So thank you, Eric, andologize

0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:04.240
<v Speaker 1>to you mom. I hope she's okay, And just delete

0:22:04.280 --> 0:22:06.399
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of them and then don't delete the follow.

0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Do not delete the follow. Lucky Tony writes in from

0:22:09.640 --> 0:22:12.000
<v Speaker 1>the Bay Area. He says, Hey, Ben and Danny g.

0:22:12.200 --> 0:22:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I have been listening to the twenty seventeen podcast Here

0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:19.879
<v Speaker 1>we Go Again, twenty seventeen podcast and Waiting Live show.

0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:22.959
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe how many people go back and hear

0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:24.520
<v Speaker 1>those old Why would you go back and hear an

0:22:24.560 --> 0:22:26.000
<v Speaker 1>old podcast? I don't get it.

0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:28.680
<v Speaker 4>The reason why, Ben, that's when you had your best

0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:30.480
<v Speaker 4>roster on your overnight show.

0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh there you go, there you go, the old days,

0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:36.199
<v Speaker 1>the salad days. It has changed a lot over the year, anyway,

0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:38.720
<v Speaker 1>says Waiting for the live show to be downloaded to

0:22:38.760 --> 0:22:43.719
<v Speaker 1>listen to have y' all played Terry's song? Did I

0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:44.200
<v Speaker 1>miss it?

0:22:44.320 --> 0:22:44.879
<v Speaker 3>Or will it be?

0:22:44.960 --> 0:22:50.240
<v Speaker 1>On the podcast? He says, Raiders twenty three, Bears thirteen,

0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:55.679
<v Speaker 1>Lock it in your thoughts Bears. So he's lucky to

0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:58.040
<v Speaker 1>he's a Bears fan, but he's picking the Raiders to

0:22:58.040 --> 0:22:58.920
<v Speaker 1>beat the Bears today.

0:22:59.400 --> 0:23:02.320
<v Speaker 4>About that, you know, a Chicago fan called me on

0:23:02.359 --> 0:23:05.320
<v Speaker 4>the studio lines a few days back and told me,

0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:08.600
<v Speaker 4>here's what's up with my team. We look good one week,

0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:11.359
<v Speaker 4>and we look like crap the next week. So you

0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:13.240
<v Speaker 4>get us on a week where we're going to lose,

0:23:13.440 --> 0:23:14.600
<v Speaker 4>and I hope he's right.

0:23:14.640 --> 0:23:15.399
<v Speaker 3>He knows his team.

0:23:16.160 --> 0:23:18.080
<v Speaker 1>There's been a lot of chatter about the Bears have

0:23:18.119 --> 0:23:21.720
<v Speaker 1>figured everything out because they beat up the Cowboys last week,

0:23:21.800 --> 0:23:26.919
<v Speaker 1>and normally the team that is getting a lot of

0:23:27.000 --> 0:23:30.359
<v Speaker 1>media shine does not live up to that shine the

0:23:30.480 --> 0:23:34.360
<v Speaker 1>following game. So we'll see what happens. Kevin and Kansas

0:23:34.359 --> 0:23:37.240
<v Speaker 1>writes in on the mail bag. He says, Dear Ben

0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:39.760
<v Speaker 1>and Danny g my sister in law sent some pictures

0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:43.800
<v Speaker 1>of the progress of the BUCkies going up in Goodyear, Arizona.

0:23:44.680 --> 0:23:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Hell yeah, it looks like it will be June as

0:23:48.480 --> 0:23:49.280
<v Speaker 1>the new opening did.

0:23:49.320 --> 0:23:49.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh wow.

0:23:50.840 --> 0:23:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Originally, Danny, this was supposed to be done by Christmas

0:23:54.000 --> 0:23:57.199
<v Speaker 1>of this year, and now here we are. This is

0:23:57.240 --> 0:24:03.400
<v Speaker 1>the last weekend in September and the last Sunday in September,

0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:07.080
<v Speaker 1>and so they've already pushed that back, according to Kevin,

0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:10.920
<v Speaker 1>until June of twenty twenty six. Ben, would you consider

0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:16.040
<v Speaker 1>doing your show live from BUCkies in Arizona? And Danny

0:24:16.040 --> 0:24:19.320
<v Speaker 1>G would you consider providing DJ services for the grand opening?

0:24:21.560 --> 0:24:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Let me see here, is that a paying gig. I'm

0:24:24.040 --> 0:24:26.159
<v Speaker 1>gonna go. I'm gonna speak for Danny G. I'm gonna go.

0:24:26.240 --> 0:24:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Hell yeah, Danny, you would be willing to do that?

0:24:28.480 --> 0:24:31.119
<v Speaker 4>Hell yeah yeah if they gave me some big BUCkies money.

0:24:31.240 --> 0:24:35.080
<v Speaker 4>But usually those kind of gigs the assistant manager under

0:24:35.080 --> 0:24:37.320
<v Speaker 4>the manager says, I got a buddy that'll do the

0:24:37.320 --> 0:24:38.840
<v Speaker 4>gig for one hundred bucks.

0:24:39.359 --> 0:24:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, and that would absolutely. Kevin love to do

0:24:42.920 --> 0:24:47.000
<v Speaker 1>the show from BUCkies. They would have to write a

0:24:47.080 --> 0:24:50.840
<v Speaker 1>check though, to the company. They don't just send me

0:24:50.880 --> 0:24:53.600
<v Speaker 1>out to those things unless they're getting some cash and

0:24:53.640 --> 0:24:56.159
<v Speaker 1>all that. It would be fun. I do plan on

0:24:56.240 --> 0:24:59.399
<v Speaker 1>going there. I guess you'd have to go in June though.

0:24:59.440 --> 0:25:02.280
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to go to Arizona in July, right,

0:25:02.320 --> 0:25:05.360
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to go to Arizona July or August.

0:25:05.480 --> 0:25:06.160
<v Speaker 3>Even in June.

0:25:06.160 --> 0:25:10.720
<v Speaker 4>It's pretty Toasta pretty been there in July it felt

0:25:10.720 --> 0:25:11.400
<v Speaker 4>like a furnace.

0:25:11.720 --> 0:25:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's brutal, brute taddled for sure. What are you

0:25:15.280 --> 0:25:18.560
<v Speaker 1>wearing for the Ram game today, Danny? You're a Raider fan.

0:25:18.640 --> 0:25:20.280
<v Speaker 1>You don't care about the colts of the Rams.

0:25:20.800 --> 0:25:22.440
<v Speaker 3>Like what I'm gonna wear Dodger gear?

0:25:22.880 --> 0:25:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right? A last one, last one on the

0:25:26.280 --> 0:25:32.320
<v Speaker 1>mailbag from Ben H. Ben H writes in says, Hello, Ben,

0:25:32.359 --> 0:25:35.600
<v Speaker 1>I have never seen a person hate a player on

0:25:35.640 --> 0:25:39.560
<v Speaker 1>his own team like you despise Clayton Kershaw. His playoff

0:25:39.600 --> 0:25:44.439
<v Speaker 1>struggles are way overblown. You, of all people, should remember

0:25:44.480 --> 0:25:47.719
<v Speaker 1>the horrid Dodgers offense of the early to made twenty tens.

0:25:47.760 --> 0:25:50.800
<v Speaker 1>These terrible offensive performances greatly.

0:25:50.480 --> 0:25:53.679
<v Speaker 4>Effencd Ben, take that, Ben, take it.

0:25:53.760 --> 0:25:57.359
<v Speaker 1>Take it greatly affected his win loss record, which is

0:25:57.400 --> 0:26:01.040
<v Speaker 1>thirteen and thirteen, not under five hundred. Taically said, no

0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:03.679
<v Speaker 1>bad job by you, Ben. What I said is in

0:26:03.800 --> 0:26:07.400
<v Speaker 1>games started by Clayton Kershaw, the Dodgers have a losing record,

0:26:07.680 --> 0:26:10.080
<v Speaker 1>and that's the games he got a no decision in.

0:26:10.200 --> 0:26:14.760
<v Speaker 1>It's the complete body of his work, playoff games started

0:26:14.800 --> 0:26:17.640
<v Speaker 1>by Clayton Kershaw. If you go to his playoff game log,

0:26:18.080 --> 0:26:20.679
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers have a losing record when he started in

0:26:20.680 --> 0:26:24.520
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs, they lost more times than they won, says

0:26:24.560 --> 0:26:27.879
<v Speaker 1>the other great pitchers of his generation, Schuerzer and Verlander

0:26:27.920 --> 0:26:30.919
<v Speaker 1>both have postseason in the areas over three. I like

0:26:30.960 --> 0:26:35.720
<v Speaker 1>how Ben conveniently leaves off Madison Bumgardner, yet you never

0:26:35.840 --> 0:26:39.120
<v Speaker 1>bring them up as playoff chokers. Even the great Pedro

0:26:39.240 --> 0:26:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Martinez has a postseason in the ara of three point

0:26:41.880 --> 0:26:44.840
<v Speaker 1>four to six. Hardly clutch, as you called him in

0:26:44.880 --> 0:26:49.119
<v Speaker 1>your tie rade against Kershaw. If Dave Roberts pulled Kershaw

0:26:49.720 --> 0:26:52.920
<v Speaker 1>when any other manager would have, instead of leaving him

0:26:52.920 --> 0:26:55.600
<v Speaker 1>in to die, his EI would have been very good

0:26:55.680 --> 0:26:59.440
<v Speaker 1>in the postseason. Since twenty fifteen, he has had two

0:26:59.520 --> 0:27:03.640
<v Speaker 1>years worthy of criticism, twenty nineteen and twenty thirteen. One game.

0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:09.639
<v Speaker 1>Do better Ben from Ben age? Listen, there's nothing to debate.

0:27:11.119 --> 0:27:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I do like the Dodgers. I do not do hero worship.

0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:19.600
<v Speaker 1>I just don't. It was the most ridiculous thing the

0:27:19.640 --> 0:27:20.439
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers did.

0:27:20.720 --> 0:27:23.600
<v Speaker 4>I was embarrassed you did in your thirties, though, Remember

0:27:23.600 --> 0:27:26.120
<v Speaker 4>when you got that Judeo Nomo tattoo on your left

0:27:26.160 --> 0:27:27.000
<v Speaker 4>ask cheek.

0:27:26.880 --> 0:27:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Trying not to talk about that, Danny, Please, all right,

0:27:29.200 --> 0:27:32.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to get that removed. Nobody sees my ass,

0:27:32.600 --> 0:27:35.480
<v Speaker 1>but no, but seriously, like listen, I felt sad for

0:27:35.520 --> 0:27:38.320
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers. Embarrassing what the Dodgers did when they dug

0:27:38.400 --> 0:27:41.040
<v Speaker 1>up the rubber at Dodgers Stadium. It was so pathetic.

0:27:41.840 --> 0:27:45.080
<v Speaker 1>So so just you tell me to do better, I say,

0:27:45.119 --> 0:27:48.920
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers need to do better. He's a freaking he's cleaners,

0:27:48.960 --> 0:27:51.800
<v Speaker 1>a great regular season player, Hall of Fame, regular season pitcher,

0:27:52.200 --> 0:27:54.879
<v Speaker 1>and the reason the Dodgers do not have two or

0:27:54.880 --> 0:27:58.080
<v Speaker 1>three more World Series championships because of his competence. And

0:27:58.119 --> 0:28:00.560
<v Speaker 1>you can spin it any way you want, and you know,

0:28:00.640 --> 0:28:05.560
<v Speaker 1>knock yourself out. Clayton Kershaw did not elevate his performance

0:28:05.600 --> 0:28:08.800
<v Speaker 1>in the playoffs. He didn't remember this was it seven

0:28:08.960 --> 0:28:12.800
<v Speaker 1>nothing Cardinals. Dodgers had a seven nothing lead against the Cardinals.

0:28:12.880 --> 0:28:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Remember that that playoff game the Phillies in the early

0:28:20.080 --> 0:28:21.120
<v Speaker 1>or late as.

0:28:21.280 --> 0:28:23.679
<v Speaker 4>Man the number one thing I don't like about this

0:28:23.760 --> 0:28:27.879
<v Speaker 4>topic or conversation is I buried those bat memories. I

0:28:27.920 --> 0:28:30.480
<v Speaker 4>don't want them coming to the front of them.

0:28:30.720 --> 0:28:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I understand, but it's just I just it's fair.

0:28:33.680 --> 0:28:35.600
<v Speaker 3>Didn't happen. It didn't happen. It didn't happen.

0:28:36.480 --> 0:28:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, I was at a lot of those games back

0:28:38.360 --> 0:28:40.640
<v Speaker 1>in those days, and I witnessed. I saw it, and

0:28:40.720 --> 0:28:43.160
<v Speaker 1>I was the one sing, next time is gonna be okay,

0:28:43.240 --> 0:28:45.479
<v Speaker 1>Kershaw is going to be fine next time? And then

0:28:45.520 --> 0:28:47.720
<v Speaker 1>he'd be out there and he'd be in the cockpit

0:28:47.840 --> 0:28:49.640
<v Speaker 1>in the vomit comment, and I mean, like, what is

0:28:49.680 --> 0:28:51.560
<v Speaker 1>he doing? He sucks again? I was like, come on,

0:28:51.800 --> 0:28:53.280
<v Speaker 1>it's it was always.

0:28:52.960 --> 0:28:55.240
<v Speaker 4>An ex But he would have, let's be honest, he

0:28:55.280 --> 0:28:58.440
<v Speaker 4>would have got that one against the Strows if they

0:28:58.480 --> 0:29:02.280
<v Speaker 4>weren't cheating. And he did finally shake it off the

0:29:02.360 --> 0:29:05.280
<v Speaker 4>last two World series that we got. So, I mean,

0:29:05.280 --> 0:29:07.920
<v Speaker 4>you can say that it's not enough redemption, but at

0:29:08.000 --> 0:29:09.640
<v Speaker 4>least he's had some redemption.

0:29:10.640 --> 0:29:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Not enough to have a state funeral. Okay, much God

0:29:15.760 --> 0:29:19.240
<v Speaker 1>so stupid? Oh he crap? I mean, did they have

0:29:19.320 --> 0:29:22.120
<v Speaker 1>any shame over there? It is so over the top

0:29:22.160 --> 0:29:26.520
<v Speaker 1>at Dodger stadium. It's embarrassing. Okay, he's a human being. Stop,

0:29:26.680 --> 0:29:29.240
<v Speaker 1>he's not a god. He's not a Demi god. It's

0:29:29.280 --> 0:29:35.360
<v Speaker 1>like so stupid, it's so dumb. I said five years

0:29:35.360 --> 0:29:37.800
<v Speaker 1>ago he should have retired, And finally he's gonna retire

0:29:37.840 --> 0:29:40.240
<v Speaker 1>and the Dodgers will be fine. They're not gonna miss

0:29:40.240 --> 0:29:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Clayton Kershaw because he's that's it. It's time for him

0:29:43.920 --> 0:29:45.960
<v Speaker 1>to go do something else. And he'll still be out

0:29:45.960 --> 0:29:48.200
<v Speaker 1>at all the games anyway. They're gonna they're gonna give

0:29:48.240 --> 0:29:50.760
<v Speaker 1>him the Kofax package where they pay him a couple

0:29:50.880 --> 0:29:52.880
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand dollars a year to come out and take

0:29:52.920 --> 0:29:56.000
<v Speaker 1>photos and kiss babies and shake hands and all that stuff.

0:29:56.040 --> 0:29:58.680
<v Speaker 1>So he's not going anywhere. That's it, though, Thank you, Ben.

0:29:58.800 --> 0:30:01.720
<v Speaker 1>He doesna say he loves the show, and I appreciate

0:30:01.800 --> 0:30:05.000
<v Speaker 1>you listening. Ben. And I've gotten some email Danny from

0:30:05.040 --> 0:30:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Dodger fish and they start, I used to like your show,

0:30:09.400 --> 0:30:13.760
<v Speaker 1>but you know it's because of the Kershaw thing. They're

0:30:13.760 --> 0:30:15.200
<v Speaker 1>so they're so bitter.

0:30:15.880 --> 0:30:18.480
<v Speaker 4>In my response, I saw it in the comments. You

0:30:18.600 --> 0:30:21.000
<v Speaker 4>had more than one person quit on you.

0:30:21.640 --> 0:30:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, and again, as we like to say, Danny,

0:30:26.400 --> 0:30:29.680
<v Speaker 1>First of all, if you're going to stop listening to

0:30:29.720 --> 0:30:34.000
<v Speaker 1>a show because you didn't like a take the person had,

0:30:34.520 --> 0:30:36.680
<v Speaker 1>then you're not really a fan of the show. You're

0:30:36.720 --> 0:30:39.920
<v Speaker 1>a fake fan, okay, because I ideal in a lot

0:30:39.920 --> 0:30:42.240
<v Speaker 1>of takes, IM in the industrial concrete.

0:30:42.280 --> 0:30:43.960
<v Speaker 3>Now you're pissing off the other half of our list.

0:30:44.040 --> 0:30:47.280
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm just a real fan. Does not quit something

0:30:47.280 --> 0:30:49.440
<v Speaker 1>because of one take that you don't agree with, that's

0:30:49.440 --> 0:30:53.800
<v Speaker 1>a fake fan. And secondly, the Ben Mahler Show is

0:30:53.960 --> 0:30:55.880
<v Speaker 1>a radio show. It is not an airport. You do

0:30:55.960 --> 0:30:58.040
<v Speaker 1>not have to announce your departure. You don't have to

0:30:58.040 --> 0:31:01.360
<v Speaker 1>say that the doors are closed. If you don't want

0:31:01.360 --> 0:31:02.240
<v Speaker 1>to listen, do not like.

0:31:02.480 --> 0:31:02.920
<v Speaker 3>It's fine.

0:31:03.080 --> 0:31:05.520
<v Speaker 1>There are other things you can listen to, bad audio

0:31:05.600 --> 0:31:07.920
<v Speaker 1>somewhere else or whatever. You don't have to listen. But

0:31:08.400 --> 0:31:10.760
<v Speaker 1>it's like if I, as I point, I go to

0:31:10.800 --> 0:31:14.600
<v Speaker 1>a restaurant and I don't like, I like I used

0:31:14.600 --> 0:31:17.400
<v Speaker 1>to go to Canner's Deli in La I used to eat.

0:31:17.640 --> 0:31:20.240
<v Speaker 1>I used to live right off near Fairfax there and

0:31:20.360 --> 0:31:23.120
<v Speaker 1>used to go there quite a bit, and I haven't

0:31:23.120 --> 0:31:25.320
<v Speaker 1>been there in years. I didn't I didn't call Canners

0:31:25.400 --> 0:31:27.240
<v Speaker 1>up and say I'm not going there anymore. I just

0:31:27.280 --> 0:31:28.720
<v Speaker 1>stop going. That's that's it.

0:31:29.200 --> 0:31:31.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well there's this thing called Yelp, and there's some

0:31:31.640 --> 0:31:34.000
<v Speaker 4>a holes on there that do do what you're describing.

0:31:34.560 --> 0:31:37.560
<v Speaker 4>Let's let's just hope this podcast and your Overnight show,

0:31:37.960 --> 0:31:40.400
<v Speaker 4>for the most part, are like a really good restaurant

0:31:40.440 --> 0:31:42.040
<v Speaker 4>where we keep the client.

0:31:42.120 --> 0:31:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Tell yeah, yeah, we want to keep everyone everyone around.

0:31:46.720 --> 0:31:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Am I not entitled to have a grudge against Clayton Kershe?

0:31:50.360 --> 0:31:51.640
<v Speaker 1>I think I am entitled.

0:31:51.400 --> 0:31:53.240
<v Speaker 4>To have a great Oh that's fine. I think the

0:31:53.280 --> 0:31:55.240
<v Speaker 4>one thing I would like on your Overnight show, and

0:31:55.280 --> 0:31:57.440
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if it happened. I know Eddie's not

0:31:57.480 --> 0:32:00.840
<v Speaker 4>there anymore. I know Coop maybe isn't as involved that

0:32:00.960 --> 0:32:04.000
<v Speaker 4>much on the microphone, but in Lorena doesn't know sports

0:32:04.040 --> 0:32:05.840
<v Speaker 4>all that much. Oh, this list keeps going.

0:32:07.440 --> 0:32:08.680
<v Speaker 1>You want to keep going.

0:32:08.960 --> 0:32:11.360
<v Speaker 4>It's going to be somebody there to keep you in line,

0:32:11.520 --> 0:32:14.400
<v Speaker 4>to give you some pushback. You know, if I was

0:32:14.440 --> 0:32:16.880
<v Speaker 4>still on your Overnight show, I would have been pushing

0:32:16.960 --> 0:32:18.800
<v Speaker 4>back and we would have argued a little bit.

0:32:19.080 --> 0:32:22.200
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing to push back on. I've reached.

0:32:22.520 --> 0:32:24.200
<v Speaker 3>There's so much to push back on.

0:32:25.680 --> 0:32:29.200
