He's the last remnants 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:14.200 of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He 0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:17.239 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:19.200 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. 0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:20.160 Wow. 0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:24.040 The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special. 0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:32.360 The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now. 0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:36.599 In the air everywhere and a happy Sunday. It's our 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:43.159 football Sunday, National football and baseball playoff action continuing today 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:46.640 The Fifth Hour with me Ben Maller and Danny g 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:51.000 Radio as we're here for you every day. We both 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.080 have regular radio games during the week and then we 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:57.240 come in here on the weekend and just keep talking 0:00:57.760 --> 0:00:59.920 and talking and talking. 0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:02.640 This is the pre game to the pre game. 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:06.800 Well, actually this is a companion today because I'm looking 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:07.639 here the Jets. 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.200 Well you're right, there's a game on right now, the 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:15.280 Jets and the Vikings. Uh London, Oh what am I doing? 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:17.120 I'm going to sign off right now. I'm gonna go 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:17.880 watch football. 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:22.080 Why why are we been here? The great thing about 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:25.840 watching these games in London is you see it's like 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:29.039 a fan fest. There's people that show up, but it's not. 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:33.200 There are Jets fans and Viking fans, but it appears 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:35.959 there's a lot of people that are just wearing random 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:39.240 jerseys from like the Jaguars or who you know, the 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:42.679 teams that have been there in the past that aren't like, 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:46.000 it's just weird. It's a weird vibe there. It's not 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:48.920 your normal obviously it's not. It's in London, but just 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:52.559 the crowd yet and it's I know in the past. 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:54.720 I don't know if it's still the case. They really 0:01:54.760 --> 0:02:00.280 marketed these London games to the ex pats that live abroad, right, 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.280 a lot of military ex military that are living in 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.160 Europe and they're trying to get them to come to 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:10.200 the games. But yeah, so that's that's Sam Darnold Revenge game. 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:14.440 Yeah, we know somebody in attendance right now, is that right? 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:14.720 We do? 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:15.200 Yeah? 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:17.519 Our boss Scott is a huge Vikings fan. 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:18.920 Oh. 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:22.640 He told me and Covino and Rich that he made 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:26.280 a really good strategic plan a few months back. Him 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:30.320 and somebody's got tickets for this game in advance. And 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:34.040 he said, even though everybody was you know, predicting the 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.200 Vikings were going to have a really tough season and 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.320 that they were rebuilding, he decided to go ahead and 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:44.880 schedule the trip. Now, how excited is he with the 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:46.520 early success of the Vikings. 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.880 Yeah, one of two undefeated him. So you're saying I 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:51.959 should maybe text him right now and say, hey, Scott, 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:53.480 I got something really important. You got to call me 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:54.160 back right now. 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:59.440 Yes, make sure make sure that you both email and 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:01.120 text asap. 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:02.360 Work emergency. 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:06.160 Yeah, very important. So we're obviously not gonna watch much 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:08.480 of that game because of you. We'll go do whatever. 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:12.480 But this is the pre game to all the other games. 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:16.200 Yeah, and I handicapped all these games with the TV 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:19.200 show that the games that I circled, not that I'm 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:20.600 not going to try to watch a little bit of 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:23.520 every game, but the ones in the early window, this 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:28.399 one PM window that I that have my interest are Ravens, Bengals, 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:34.720 Bill's Texans, Commander's Browns. Also, those are like the three 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:38.120 that I really want to focus in on see if 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.440 Jad and Daniels can do it again against they dinged 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:43.640 up Browns defense, who you just saw last week all 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:47.320 their injuries, and the Bills. This is an early point 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:51.440 of demarcation game. They got absolutely roasted by the Ravens, 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:55.600 and they didn't really beat anybody good, even though they 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:57.080 were three and ozero to begin the year. You know, 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:58.800 like the Dolphin. They beat the Dolphins, that was their 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:02.480 big win. But the Dolphins they didn't have you two 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:03.120 got hurt. 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.720 Yeah, so saying that was kind of a food Gaysey 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:07.520 three and zero. 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:09.640 Yeah, And they played the Cardinals, who are not a 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:11.839 playoff team. They play Jacksonville is not a playoff team, 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:13.840 so this is more of a test. But the Texans 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:16.320 haven't been all that impressive. They're also three in one, 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:20.600 but they've not had the wow factor. So there's that. 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.080 And then at the Bengal raven game, as I said 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:25.080 on the TV show, which you can still watch if 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:28.560 you're listening early here on Sunday, Benny versus depending on Peacock, 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.080 as we talked about on the TV show, like this 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.680 is a chance for the Bengals to scratch and claw 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:38.520 and get back up into the race because they would 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:42.320 have the same record as the Ravens. I already eliminated 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.920 the Bengals, but if they can win this game get 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:46.880 to two and three, the Ravens will be two and three, 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.360 and you got a little bit alike. The Steelers lost 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.760 last week, and the Steelers they played a night in 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.560 the Sunday night came with the Cowboys, which will be 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:00.680 the most watched game and all that. But so those 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.440 are the games early that I'm looking forward to. I 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.159 will not be the Ram game today. I will just 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:08.760 be watching. I will be watching the Rams defense is 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:10.839 so bad. I think the Packers are already up fourteen 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:16.640 to nothing. It starts hours later from now. So there 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:19.080 is that. But the mail bag. Let's start with the 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.720 mail bag, and that means Ohio. 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:22.799 Al it's. 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:38.600 This mail bag, thank you very much, Ohio. These are 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:43.440 actual letters by actual consumers of the podcast who have 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:48.039 taken time out of their lives to correspond with us, 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.520 and they send their messages into a special email address 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.760 that we have just for this podcast that we only 0:05:55.800 --> 0:06:03.280 look at or podcast related content, and it is the email. 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:05.320 I just Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Real 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:09.960 fifth hourgmail dot com. Carl from New Mexico. Okay, I 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:12.160 guess he's representing the entire state, right, Sady says, Ben 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:16.159 and Danny enjoy the pod. How come some guys get 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:22.040 upset when Ben, you're doing the love segment with Lareda 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:26.200 on the show. Are people really upset or are they 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:30.840 just pretending? Carl? I don't know. All I know is 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:34.560 there's a lot of faux outrage on social media. And 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:37.160 I will normally say I don't know if I said 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.919 it this week, but if you listen, Carl, and you 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.960 listening who's not named Carl, I will normally say, if 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.200 you like this bit, we do it every week at 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.440 this time. If you don't like it, it's only one 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:52.200 segment of the show once a week. You can't put 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:56.640 up with one segment of the show once a week, 0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.600 like what is wrong with you? But I do get 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:03.760 a kicked Danny out of the the sporty mob I 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:07.400 call them, you know, that category of listener, and that's like, well, 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.600 you should not be talking about anything. Although the meet 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:14.480 and the titles sports. What's wrong with you? Shame on? 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:15.840 You said? 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.760 I feel like that crowd has shrunk a little bit 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.680 since we've been doing sports talk radio. 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:24.680 I would like to think that's the case, but I 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:28.280 still hear from them every now and again. So I 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:29.840 don't know what to tell you on that one, Carl, 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.800 But thank you for listening to the podcast, appreciate that 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:39.320 William writes in from parts unknown, and he says, hey, 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.920 Ben and Danny, as a person who has been homeless 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:48.720 and has been on I think he meant crystal meth here, 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.720 although he said something else. Maybe that's some drug I've 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.440 never heard of. In and out of jail, never prison. 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:57.320 I've lived through a lot and faced a lot of 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:00.680 consequences for my actions through life. Have a job on 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:02.920 my own place. Not good for you, William, good job. 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.400 You were a big part of this journey, at least 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:10.400 since Genie in Medford was alive, because that's when I 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:15.080 found you. I'm a doctor. See Genie was a doctor, William. 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:20.440 I have a satin nightgown on. Yeah, and she had 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:24.160 her satin nightgown on. So thank you, he says, for 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:28.320 showing up and showing out day in and day out. 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:33.040 First off, get to the question, please, yes exactly, William, 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:39.200 you dow listen. You know you know my shtick, he says. Okay, 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.560 how do you know where the line is between helping, 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:48.720 enabling or getting out of the situation? Yeah, well, I 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:53.720 don't know, William. Every situation is unique. I mean, I've 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:57.240 tried to help friends of mine that have have issues. 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:02.520 But normally, what I've experienced is if you force too much, Danny, 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:05.680 they push back and it's not going to work. It's 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:09.280 like there's that sweet spot where you can maybe get 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:11.720 them at the right time when they're a little sober 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:16.320 and they're willing to listen. But it's and it's difficult. 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:20.160 I've had friends that have lost relationships with friends or 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:24.600 relatives because of substance abuse and trying to get them sober, 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:28.600 trying to do an intervention and it doesn't work out. So, yeah, 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:31.360 I think you're handing money to somebody, and that's always 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:35.240 to me, that's something you help them out. But once 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:37.680 you start handing money to them and then if they're 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.199 not showing progress, like what are you doing, you're enabling 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:41.120 them At that point. 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.400 That was my mom's thing because we had a couple 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:46.120 of family members going through it when I was a kid, 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.960 and I remember her saying, I will help with shelter, 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.040 I will help with food, but I will not give 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:52.640 them cash. 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:59.040 Yeah, because not cash will disappear, disappear. But William, congratulations 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:02.000 on turning your life around. That's awesome, and of course, 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:03.640 as they say, William, but If you don't turn your 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:05.280 life around, you don't have a life. That's it, right, 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:07.200 I mean you're in that game with all those drugs 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:10.960 and stuff, and there's really only one path otherwise it's 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.880 game over. Rich in New Jersey rights in. I don't 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:19.560 know if that's northern or southern New Jersey. He says, Ben. 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:24.439 Did you feel the smile in Marcel's body when you 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.520 called him the voice of Brooklyn or was that just me? 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:32.480 I don't know that I felt it, but it did 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:34.360 seem like Marcel was very happy. 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:35.360 Yeah. 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:39.240 I randomly just tossed out voice of Brooklyn and Marcel beamed. 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:42.840 You just lit up. You tell he was very happy 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:43.480 with that. 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:47.719 And yeah, that's now on his dating profile. Yeah, he's 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.400 picking up the ladies with that. I'm sure there is 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:55.040 Marcel the Voice of Brooklyn. Yes, yes, Voice of Brooklyn. 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.920 I'll always remember the first call from Marcel when he 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:02.400 wanted to talk about this Seattle Seahawks and Russell Wilson, 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:04.760 and I said, why you're in Brooklyn, why do you 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.800 want to talk about this? I am a Seahawks ambassador. 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:15.080 Okay that I appreciate that. Have another Ken writes in 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:19.079 all did not say his location.

He says, 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:25.160 I think we need more of the voice of Brooklyn. 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:28.800 Are here we going in where he creeds old news 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.240 events or just more of him? 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:31.840 Please? 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:37.959 No? Yeah, well we don't. We don't ban When Marcel calls, 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.360 he gets on the air. He usually calls the last hour, 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:47.160 typically Monday, Wednesday, sometimes on Friday, and that's that. So 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:50.080 we put him on. Yeah. And the funniest thing we've 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:52.560 talked about that before is the funny thing Marcel did 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:55.480 was when he broke the Titanic story on the air 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:59.760 that the Titanic had hit an Iceberg and nobody else radio. 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:02.559 That was great. I was there for that. 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:07.760 You were using Morse code. Yeah, And even then Marcel 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.640 he delivered it with such gusto. But part of him 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:12.679 was like, this might not be true, but he still 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:14.240 delivered it with a lot of gusto. 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:16.560 You know, when he did that, I was actually on 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.760 my drive in to do the Clay Travis Show, and 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.360 I heard that live on the air during my drive 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:26.280 on the freeway and was laughing so hard behind the wheel. 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:31.360 It was outstanding, outstanding, felt like me and I could 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.720 have had like a news station on or some No. 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.720 I just keep Fox Sports Radio on while I drive 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:40.200 and I even get breaking world news stories. 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:46.679 Yeah yeah, next one on the mail bag. These are 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:52.640 actual letters by actual listeners. Pink writes in says, guy, guys, 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.880 I know you like Costco. Have you tried the new 0:12:56.000 --> 0:13:02.200 meatball marinera at Costco? So this is apparently one of 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:05.040 those ready to make you know how you can buy 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:06.880 like the chicken, the rotisserie chicken. 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:08.439 Oh okay, yeah. 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.800 Yeah, it's in that that I have not so they. 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:15.600 Just give you a bag of pre made meatballs and sauce. 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:21.400 No, he said, he said, it appears it's got the bread. 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:24.480 There's cheese wrapped around the meatballs that are pre made 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:26.720 with little cheese on top of that. So I guess 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:27.920 you put this thing in the oven. 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:29.840 Oh okay, got it. 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:36.120 Bake. It's at his store. It's five nine beef and 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:45.240 pork meatball. It's got ground pork, ground beef marinera, parmesan cheese. 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.880 I mean it looks good. I guess it just depends 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:50.760 how you cook it, right, like any of those things, 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.640 It's like you might come out pretty. It looks pretty 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:59.079 big too. Anyway, I'm not said, but if you have it, 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:01.280 let me know, let us no send us an email, 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.640 let us know. I assume you had it, but you 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:05.839 didn't say you had it in this email. I guess 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:07.319 you just wanted to have us say your name on 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:10.280 the ear bury in South Carolina rights in and says yo, Yo, Ma, 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:17.839 Benny and Danny. What natural disaster hurricane, tsunami, earthquake, tornado, wildfire, flash, flood, 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:22.480 ETCA scares you the most? So I'll go first. I've 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:26.920 lived through earthquakes, I've lived through wildfires. I gotta go tsunami. 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.160 Watching that video from the Big tsunami, I think it 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:34.800 was in Japan a couple of years back, many years now. 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:36.920 That is just you're done. 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:41.080 I would have to agree with you because I lived 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:46.800 twelve miles away from Malibu, Malibu small mountain range and 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:51.280 the mountains aren't even that tall, and that's what's separating 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:54.040 where I live, next to the one on one Freeway 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:58.720 and Malibu. If there was a tsunami, there'd be nowhere 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:00.280 for me to go. I would just have have to 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:04.560 hold my nose and put my scuba fens on. 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:06.720 Yes, it's done. 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:11.480 You see the veracity of the tsunami and everything is 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:17.760 just done. It's just wild. I've not been in a hurricane, 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:21.880 so but at least you can prepare for that, so 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.880 you know tornadoes. I've not been in North flash flood. 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.800 But soon out of that, Barry, it was very nice. 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:32.480 I met Barry at the Charleston meet and read he 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:34.920 remember used to be in Nashville back in the day. 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:40.480 But yeah, I'd go tsunami. Next up is Mike from 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:44.800 the Tranquilt Lounge in Fullerton. He says, hey, Ben and 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:48.240 Danny G. I was going to reapologize to Danny G 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:52.000 after his raiders took down the creepy quarterback led Browns, 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:55.160 but then DeVante Adams demanded a trade out of there. 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.400 I think your guy, Antonio Pearce is screwed for sure. 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:02.560 Now what's your guys go to drink when you need 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:09.120 a caffeine fix? Tea, coffee, energy drinks, or soda pop? 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:14.280 So I don't drink coffee. I don't really drink tea 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.120 unless I have a voice issue. I don't really do 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:20.680 energy drinks, So I take you a caffeine supplement is 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:24.280 what I do. Sometimes my wife on the weekend, she'll 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:27.480 go to Starbucks and spend you know, eight dollars for 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:29.360 a drink that she costs about a dollar fifty or 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.480 two dollars, And then I'll get dragged into that. We'll 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:35.400 all like, She'll buy me like one of those powered 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:37.800 tea things. I don't even know what they are, but 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:43.200 the a gavi something something, lemonade something, and I don't 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:45.720 even know what. It tastes good because then put a 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:48.280 lot of sugar in it, and they put caffeine in it. 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.720 But Danny, what do you go to on that? 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:51.360 You know? 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:54.760 I usually go into the restroom and I power slap myself. 0:16:56.680 --> 0:17:01.120 That's good. Yeah, I recommend that doctors recommended have started 0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:02.480 on the right side. Which side is it? 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:06.560 Yeah, you gotta do. You got to do both sides 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:11.040 to really wake up. You know, I'm not I'm not 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:14.919 a regular coffee drinker, so coffee still works. And what 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:17.440 I mean is the crackheads you see in line every 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:21.760 day at Starbucks, they are crackheads and the coffee just 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:24.080 doesn't have the same effect on their body, so they 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:27.080 need more and more of it. I take days off 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:29.600 with coffee. So with that, when I actually drink it, 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.600 It'll wake my butt up. So like that trip to 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:36.600 Vegas last weekend, I definitely was drinking coffee along the 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:40.440 route so that i'd be alert at the wheel. So, yeah, 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:42.240 coffee would be my go to. But I do the 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:44.080 sugar free coffee. 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:47.240 Just black coffee. That's it. This is just the no I'd. 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:50.320 Do, like a sugar free vanilla latte. Gotcha? 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:54.040 Thank you, Mike, the member of the Chamber of Commerce 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:57.040 of Fullerton alf from the Blue tent rites In says Ben. 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.199 Since you're not one to wear shoes off, and this 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:02.919 question is probably better suited for Danny g have you 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:07.919 ever gotten a sliver, slash, splinter in your shoe or 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:11.440 your sock? As someone who stands all day at work 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:16.320 and is constantly moving wooden palletts, It's something that happened 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:19.440 to me more than a handful of times. Does it 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:23.040 happened to you, Danny? I've gotten splinters too, But is it? 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:23.680 Yeah? 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:25.919 Is that the old Muhammad Ali quote? But I'll let 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:27.160 you let you yap. 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:29.920 You ever had a metallic sliver, like a little piece 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:33.359 of metal that sucks? I've had that before when I 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:36.720 was a kid during a summer break. I worked part 0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:40.480 time at an auto parts warehouse. So I worked part 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:43.440 time for a radio station, and then I worked part 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:46.520 time for the auto parts warehouse. And let me tell you, 0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:48.760 when I was at the auto parts warehouse, I'd be 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:52.720 daydreaming about my radio station job the whole time because 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:55.680 that was some heavy lifting man. And yeah, there would 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.600 be days where I would get you something in my 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:02.040 foot like that, and it was not fun. It's weird too, 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:05.240 because something so small, it's kind of like a paper cut. 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:09.359 How can something so small cause so much pain? 0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:12.440 Yeah, totally. And here I found the quote. This is 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:15.399 one of the great Muhammad Ali quotes from his time. 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:18.840 He said, it isn't the mountains ahead to climb that 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:23.360 wear you out, it's the pebble in your shoe. And sure, 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:24.960 if you don't have a pebble in your shoe and 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:27.080 you're climbing the mountain and you're training for a fight, 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:30.560 you're okay, right, You're probably fine. But if you have 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:36.640 a little crappy pebble too, and then that will cause 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:42.480 all kinds of agony. It's like the line of these 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:46.320 little things are grain of mustard seed is capable of 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:50.280 developing into a very tall thing. Of mustard. But from 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:53.359 the pain standpoint, the little, just a little thing gets stuck. 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:55.520 And that's one of the reasons I don't like to 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:57.520 wear shoes out because I don't have to worry about 0:19:57.520 --> 0:20:00.600 that as much. With my sandals, I don't to worry about. 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:01.800 I'm in good shape. 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:04.480 On that Ben and his Bram's crocs. 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:09.040 How dare you Let's see who's next Cincinnati Tommy Wright 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:11.800 Sam on the mail bag. He says, Hey, Benny and Danny, 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:13.520 g greetings from Pete Rose. 0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:13.760 Way. 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:19.280 Yea Pete checking out this week our ip big radio guy, 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:24.040 Pete Rose worked with the late Joe McDonald and also 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:26.679 our guy JT. The Brick. They did the Pete Rose 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:31.920 Radio Show, and I've talked about the fact this week 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:35.240 we did memorial to Pete and right across the street 0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:39.240 when Fox Sports Radio started, there was an Italian restaurant 0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:42.720 that was pretty famous in the valley and that was 0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:45.440 Pete's favorite Italian restaurant. That's he lived in la and 0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:47.800 Pete would be there four or five days a week, 0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:51.040 right across the street every day, same time, having lunch, 0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:55.200 hanging out with a bunch of old baseball players, usually 0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:56.880 old Dodgers, that also lived. 0:20:56.680 --> 0:21:00.320 In a and and mister T who had spot over there. 0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:05.680 Yeah, I saw Mark Patrick, our old morning guy, MPOs, 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:07.879 Mark Track, Mount Mark Patrick on sports You're in the 0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:11.000 Big Chair. I saw Mark post he's retired now. He 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:14.280 posted on social media a photo that he took with 0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:18.480 Pete Rose at that Italian restaurant, and Ron Say was 0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:22.240 there with Pete. They were chowing down. And Pete moved 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:27.920 to Vegas probably two years after Fox Sports Radio started 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:31.040 just to sign autographs all the time at like I 0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:35.400 don't know Caesar's Palace or whatever and so. But yeah, 0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:39.320 I mean Pete was quite the quite the character I heard. 0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:42.280 Al Michaels told the story this week. The reason Pete 0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:47.080 kept lying about the gambling is he when he first 0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:51.720 got in some trouble, he I guess he had talked 0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:56.600 to the top lawyer in Cincinnati, and the guy said, 0:21:56.600 --> 0:22:01.480 whatever you do, Pete, never ever admit that you did this. 0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:04.680 Even though you did, never admit it. And Pete, because 0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:06.520 he paid a lot of money for that legal advice, 0:22:06.560 --> 0:22:09.680 he just kept Now you kep going with that. Although 0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:11.479 there was a guy that called up this week that 0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:14.199 used to live in Cincinnati and he worked at a 0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:17.560 Bob Evans and the guy calls up the knight. Pete 0:22:17.640 --> 0:22:21.679 Rose dies and says, uh, yeah you. Pete came in 0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:23.639 a couple of times he wouldn't pay for the food. 0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:26.880 He said, Hey, I don't pay for food on Pete Rose. 0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:28.520 I don't pay for food here in Cincinnati. 0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:34.960 Man, I'm gonna I'm going to go to my hometown 0:22:35.000 --> 0:22:37.320 of rialto California and give that a try. 0:22:37.600 --> 0:22:39.560 Yeah, I just say, don't. I don't pay dude. 0:22:39.800 --> 0:22:41.919
