WEBVTT - The Fifth Hour: Saving Gotham's Sunday 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:01.440 Cutbooms. 0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:05.360 If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes 0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:09.200 a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.480 of the old republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:15.480 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:19.600 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to Clearinghouse of 0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:23.480 hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour 0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:29.360 with Ben Maller starts right now. 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:33.600 In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:36.879 Mahler and Danny G Radio. We have made it to 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.559 the Is it the end of the week or the 0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:41.720 start of the week. I think Sunday technically is the 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:44.240 start of the new week. I believe, although for most 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:46.800 people Monday is the start of the new week. But 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:49.400 you got me Ben and Danny G joining us from 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:50.000 the mailbag. 0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:53.800 Hello Danny, Yeah, live from Circa one of your favorite 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:54.640 sports books. 0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:57.720 I love Circa. Yeah, I always I always try to 0:00:57.760 --> 0:00:59.720 go to Circa when I'm in Vegas. I don't always 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:04.240 make I prefer that part of Vegas than the Strip. 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:07.440 Although I told the story last was it last weekend 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.760 on the podcast? I was just in Vegas because it's 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:15.200 a suburb of Los Angeles, and I noticed when I 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:19.280 was in Old Vegas or Downtown Vegas, depending on how 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:24.240 you want to describe it, a lot more debauchery than 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:26.640 I recall. Like I've always been to debauchery. I just 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:30.920 felt a little it was a little dirtier, a little grimier. 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.840 It was more of a freak show. I felt like 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:37.679 I was at the Venice Boardwalk or Atlantic City Boardwalk, 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:39.640 you know that kind of thing last time I was there. 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:43.160 And I'm assuming it's the same Danny because it's only 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.440 been a couple of weeks, so I'm guessing the crowd 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:49.360 has not turned over that much in a couple of weeks. Yeah. 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:51.800 No, I saw the freak show that you mentioned, but 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:55.200 I've mostly stayed here inside the resort and I don't 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:58.120 fly back to Lax until a few. 0:01:57.960 --> 0:01:58.720 Hours from now. 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:02.280 Wondering if I should put a little wager down on 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.800 NBA Finals Game seven for this evening. 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:07.720 Well, I would bet on this going to eight games 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.680 because Scott Foster will be officiating the game today. He's 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:13.200 known as the extended Danny, so somehow they're going to 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:17.640 play like best of nine. I love the fact that 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:21.640 all these series are seven because the Giants I think 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.200 was the New York Giants owner. I talked about this 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.000 years ago on this podcast, but the guy that owned 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.240 the New York Giants in the early days of baseball, 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:33.160 they played some series that were best of nine. I 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:36.280 think there were some longer than that, and they settled 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.560 on best of seven. You could go best of nine, 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:41.359 you could do whatever. I mean, they just happened to 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:45.720 choose seven games as the magic number. But Scott Foster 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.960 is going to be there, and the unpredictable nature of 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.960 the NBA when you don't know who's not going to 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:56.560 show up meeting like the other night on Friday or 0:02:56.639 --> 0:03:00.720 Thursday night. Right, it was Thursday into Friday and Oklahoma 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.280 City was up by eight and then got outscored by 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.639 thirty nine points until early in the fourth court they 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:09.440 just stopped playing, Like, how does that happen in a 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:11.560 game you can win a championship? Wild? 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:15.080 Yeah, it's crazy, and it makes me think that they're 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.640 not going to lay down like dead dogs for a 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:18.760 second game in a row. 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.720 Well, no, their favor everyone says the better team. What 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:26.040 a choke job this would be for Oklahoma City. Holy crap, 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:29.720 if they don't live at home. In game seven and 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:33.800 Mala Burton's hopping on one leg. I mean, God, So 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.480 the pressure, if you go by the pressure, if you 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:38.880 believe in that. I don't believe in momentum, but I 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.160 do believe in pressure, and some guys respond to it, 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.280 some guys don't. And you got to be able to 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:47.440 read the room. You would say that the vast majority 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:51.040 of pressure is on Oklahoma City. It's like the way 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.880 I described Indiana. It's kind of like when you go 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:56.000 to the casino and you sign up for the player's 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:59.400 card and they give you fifty free spins or fifty 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:01.600 three plays or whatever, and so you're like, you know, 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.360 if I win money, that's great. But if I don't care, 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.240 if I don't do anything because it's free, it's so 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.480 they gave me, so I don't really give a crap. 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:13.600 I had to hear about Rich winning six hundred dollars 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:18.039 on digital roulette and Big Mike who played a ten 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.359 dollars slot machine and he won five hundred dollars. Me, 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.920 I'm out all this money on seven dollars sodas and 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:28.640 eighteen dollars grilled cheese sandwiches. So I would love to 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:29.840 join the winner circle. 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:32.600 Yeah. Well, The key is, though, if you're going to gamble, 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:37.200 make sure you don't win any more than twelve hundred dollars, right, 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.719 because I think it's like twelve is it twelve fifty 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:41.400 or something like that. Then you got to they hand 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.440 you a piece of paper and you have to fill 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.360 it out in your taxes. So you always want to 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:48.440 make sure whatever your bet is, your win is just 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:52.360 below that sweet spot. And we're hoping that the President 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:56.560 Trump administration will raise that because that number has not 0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:00.400 been raised since like the seventies on e within inflation 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.080 and all that. You still that's the number. 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.240 So you make a thousand dollars or anything over that, 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.800 and Uncle Sam's like, come on, give me mine now. 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.640 That should be like three thousand dollars. It should be 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:12.560 like minimal. 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.039 I agree. And we should also be able to say 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:16.120 shit on the radio. 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:19.960 Yeah, and what's wrong with the word fuck? Oh my gosh, 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:22.280 you know people say that all the time, right, I mean, 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:25.800 come on, anyway, Well, we have the mail bag, and 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.880 let's jump right into it. Our friend Ohioau will serenade 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:41.080 us and lead us in to the mail bag. It's 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:50.200 this bag, all right, thank you, OHIOO. These are actual 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:53.280 questions by actual listeners. If you'd like to send a 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:57.320 correspondence into a future edition of the Fifth Hour podcast 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:00.960 mail bag, you can do that care k of Real 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:04.360 fifth Hour at gmail dot com. That's Real fifth Hour 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:09.760 at gmail dot com. And we do appreciate you putting 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:13.239 your name and city first. Some of you knuckleheads choose 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:16.440 not to do that, so you're from parts unknown. Some 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:20.159 of you somehow have burner email accounts and don't even 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.719 put your name in it or the city. Those we 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:26.640 normally don't use unless they're really good questions. So the 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:30.320 first one up is from our friend Barry in South Carolina, 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:34.120 although he's desperately trying to leave South Carolina. And Barry, 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:38.040 I met him, a longtime supporter of the show and 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.440 a guy that is, he was in Nashville, he went 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.320 to South Carolina. He was at the Mallard meet and 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:47.080 greet in Charleston. We did a while back, Barry says, 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.880 Yo Yo Ma, Benny and Danny g. So when you 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:53.760 are gone from the Overnight show, Barry writes, I am 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.799 sure that you get tons of email asking you where 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.200 you are, when are you going to be back? 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:00.640 For you? 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.919 Is this annoying or does it make you realize the 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:07.360 malad militia miss missus you that's from Barry. So I'm 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.440 gonna go with door number three here, Barry, I'm gonna 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:14.960 go with door number three. So it is annoying, is 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:20.800 it is upsetting, and it is also flattering at the 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:24.920 same time, I've become used to it and also get 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:28.200 a lot of complaints. Whoever sits in for me must 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:30.080 be the worst person in the world because you all 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:31.760 tell me how much the show is not as good 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:35.800 or whatever, which I guess is a compliment. But and 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:39.360 then you're like critiquing things that need to be happening 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.600 when I'm not there. And I promise you I love 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:44.920 doing the show. I wanted. My dream was to be 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.960 in radio. I've been able to live my dream in 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:51.160 my life here. I'm very fortunate at doing that. I 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:54.520 probably should have chosen something more than radio, but I 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:58.960 chose radio, and I'm very happy that I love doing radio. However, 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:01.640 when I'm not doing the radio show, I'm not listening 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:03.760 to the show. So your critiques, I mean, I I 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:07.120 appreciate it, but I'm out doing stuff and I take 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:09.360 the rare and appropriate time off and we are at 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.720 that point in June, July, and August where I will 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:16.080 take pretty much all the time off because once September 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:19.440 comes around, that's it. I'm locked in for football season. 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:22.679 So I've got wait a second, if you're gone, who's 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:24.920 gonna cover the WNBA action? 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.760 I know, right, the oly crap. I have gotten some letters, 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:32.520 Danny from people. Are you not talking about the WNBA 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.640 everyone else is. I'm like, okay, listen, First of all, 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:36.240 I don't care. 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:38.600 First of all, they're not talking about the actual games. 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:42.120 No, it's Caitlin Clark, it's you know, it's the story. 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:45.880 It's the soap opera. But just again, very like to 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:48.480 answer your question, I am flattered that people miss me. 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:53.280 That means that the show matters to you. I don't 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:55.360 need to give you my schedule. You're not my mom, 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:56.800 so I don't need to tell you when I'm going 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:58.959 to be back. I did let people know. That was 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.800 one of the cool things about these There were people 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:03.600 that were shocked that I wasn't there, But I said 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:06.920 on this podcast before I took a couple of days off, 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:08.880 I said, listen, I'm not going to be here. There's 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:10.679 something going on. You found out if you listened to 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:12.640 the Friday podcast where I was. I was in San 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:17.319 Diego at the marine graduation, the boot camp graduation thing 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.240 that I was at, and so that's why I was 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:21.680 away for a couple of days. And then but you knew, 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:23.960 and they were people sending me messages that obviously they 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:25.600 say they're huge fans of the show, but they don't 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:28.840 listen to this podcast, so otherwise they would have known 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.040 that I was going to be there. So anyway, with listen, 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.880 that's I'm sure I'll get many more complaints buried because 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:37.280 there's some other days that I will be taking that 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:40.800 are scheduled for other things. And so that's just the 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:43.840 way it is. Alf from the stock Room Rights and 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.720 he says, I hope you gentlemen are doing well and 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:51.080 I've recovered from the peaceful protest. Yes, let me preface 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:55.080 my question with the story Alf says. He says, when 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:58.040 I was a teenager, I worked in a small neighborhood 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:01.600 grocery store. Now, one day I was bringing up items 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:04.600 from the basement to stock on the shelves, and an 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:08.920 older female cashier offered to help because they were slow 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:12.240 up front. When we got to the basement, she said 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:14.760 to me, I'll carry the light beer because it's not 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:18.520 as heavy. Now, Alf said, even as a teenager, I 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:22.040 recognized a good joke, but knowing this woman, she was 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:27.480 not kidding. Now to the point, Alf says, ferg Dog 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:32.439 once mentioned that if someone speeds up the podcast when listening, 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:37.880 it's cheating. What say you? Also, if I listened to 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.920 two time speed on the podcast and he listens at 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:45.640 one time the speed, does it mean that he's half 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:50.840 as fast? Thirdly, if I listen at two times based 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:54.040 on the cashier's logic, do you get twice? The credit 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:56.319 that's from Alf. 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:59.320 Makes me laugh right now because a few days ago, 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.800 our fourteen year old she showed us a video she took. 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.079 She was proud of it when she took the video, 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.840 she was embarrassed by it. After we all watched it 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:11.040 and she realized what she had done. Her mom left 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:13.839 her cell phone in the living room and went to 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:17.280 run an errand I think to target. My stepdaughter took 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:22.680 her iPad and recorded herself showing that mom's phone is 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:25.880 right here. She's like, look, my mom left her cell phone. 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:30.439 I better call to tell her that her cell phone. 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:31.000 Is left behind. 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.319 Yeah, And then you could hear her mom's cell phone 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.440 ring in the video, she had such a blonde moment. 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:44.440 That's great, that's yea funny. She obviously needs a college 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:48.040 fund a little bit. Well, she's not getting a scholarship. 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:50.520 She's learning the ways of the world. But I like 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.439 the thing about that, Danny is like, I don't know 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:57.160 about you. Like I think for most of us, anywhere 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.240 you go, if you don't have your phone, you feel 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:01.600 like you're missing your right arm, you know what I mean. 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.319 Like it's like, oh, yeah. 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:05.080 You got to have it. Like I get in the car, 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:07.959 I listen. I actually, you know, I'll promote it. I 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:11.120 use the iHeart app or I use some music apps 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:14.079 that I use and when I'm driving, and they're all 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:16.280 connected on the bluetooth to my car. So if I 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:18.520 don't have my phone, I can't listen to anything. Really. 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:20.200 I mean, I do have the old school radio, but 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.840 I usually do it with it. It's cleaner on the 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.160 stream so I'll do it on one of the streaming 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:27.960 services and all that. Usually iHeart and so, but if 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.520 I don't have it, I'm like, oh my god, which 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.280 is crazy because we're both of the age, like we 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:36.120 our entire child that we didn't have phones. We were fine, right, 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:38.800 and I mean pretty much even as a young adult, 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.959 I didn't really have I had the original cell phones 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:45.040 were these big bulky things and we didn't really have 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:46.960 use them anywhere the way we use it. 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:47.400 Do you know? 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.800 Whenever she gets punished and her mom takes her phone 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:53.920 away quote unquote for the weekend, that never happens because 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:57.319 she bugs her mom so much that she finally gives 0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.640 in and just gives it back to her, because, like 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:03.040 what you said, people feel naked without their cell phone. 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:05.760 Every thirty minutes, she would check in with her mom, 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:06.600 how about now? 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:08.720 Can I have it back? Can I have it back now? 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.200 And she grinds her so much that she finally just 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:13.680 gives her her stupid phone back. 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:17.240 The war of attrition kids, No, remember when we were kids? 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:19.839 Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we well? 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.000 We're on a road trip. Are we there? Why? Why 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:23.960 are we there yet? How much longer are we gonna 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:24.360 be there? 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:24.840 No? 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:27.800 Thank you, alf and we do appreciate it. One of 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:29.800 my favorite bits. We don't really do this much anymore, 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:33.480 but on the Overnight Show, we would get guys to 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:37.920 get their like grandparents and like older relatives who just 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:40.600 got smartphones and didn't know how to use them like 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:45.240 automatic to subscribe and download the podcast, because we're like, 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:46.000 there you go. 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:48.760 I mean, I count I loved it when you and 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:53.160 I took unsuspecting callers and tape them for the following 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:53.839 day's show. 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:55.959 Yeah. Oh yeah, well we did that for a lot. 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:58.600 So if it was Wednesday, I would tell them, all right, 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.320 this is gonna be for Thursday show. Make sure you 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.199 come in hot with a lot of energy and say 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:08.480 happy Thursday. Oh yeah, yeah dad, Sure enough. The caller 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:11.280 would be like, this is so and so happy Thursday. 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:13.280 Oh yeah, I don't do that. 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:15.120 I'd be like, now, remember, we'd stop him. That's not 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:16.480 good enough. Take two. 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:18.880 I need to bring that bit back. I haven't done 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.560 that as much here recently, but that's a classic. That's 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:24.720 an old school radio bit that's honored to me. That's 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:28.480 honoring the legends of radio when you do the Mike 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:32.640 from Fergnag Mike aka Fergdog in Fortune Rights and says, hey, 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:37.920 boss and Chief, how pumped are you guys? That the 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:42.480 greatest eater of all time, Joey Chestnut is making his 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:47.240 return to the Nathan's hot dog eating contest. Also is 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:52.120 the w NBA a sport or a spin off of 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:56.040 the Real Housewives. It's hard to tell. Actually, this is 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:59.080 just what we were talking about listening live to the 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:03.680 podcast here. What are you doing, you schmuck? Yeah, all 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.000 the w NBA stories like the one the other day 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.440 was there was one of the I don't know the 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:10.440 names of the players other than Caitlin Clark, but one 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:12.920 of the women was complaining because there were people outside 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:16.240 the hotel that wanted autographs and she was complaining. She 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.560 thought that was weird that someone would be waiting outside 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:19.960 the hotel. 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.480 There's the blonde girl with the long legs. Have you 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:24.960 seen her, the one that stood up for Caitlin Clark 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:25.640 during the. 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:29.720 Oh yes, yes, yeah, they sold out a jersey or 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:33.720 something like that, right, a little merch and the autograph 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:36.360 thing that hit close to home. Dany I related to 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:37.920 that because when I was in high school, I made 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:41.320 some extra money and I was hired to get autographs 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:44.880 that people sold, So I would follow baseball players around 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:47.320 to the hotel and to restaurants and stuff, and that 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:50.520 was my little side hustle to make some bucks, which 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:52.360 pretty much just went to buy tickets to go to 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:54.000 the game and all that until we figured out how 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.520 to sneak into the game. But it's so funny to 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:59.440 me all of these stories about the w NBA players 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:03.120 complaining and for twenty years they complain because we just 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.040 want to be like the other sports. We just want 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:06.960 to be covered. We want to be like the NBA. 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:08.840 We want to be like these other sports. We're women, 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.840 you know, hear us roar. And now they're getting a 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:13.840 little taste of it, not because they're any good, but 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:16.680 Caitlin Clark is popular, so they're getting a taste of 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:20.560 in the WNBA. And what do they do, nothing but bitching, 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:25.640 nothing but complaining. Like newsflash, if you're somewhat popular, there 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.240 are going to be people outside your hotel. They're going 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:31.440 to be people following you around to restaurants to get autographs. 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:33.440 I don't care if you're a win or not. It's 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:37.400 a money making opportunity. And it's like also some of 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:42.040 these people say, hey, I don't sign for adults. In fact, 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:45.240 we had Helmet man On He ran into Aaron Judge 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:47.600 in West Hollywood when the Yankees were in LA to 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.440 play the Dodgers, and Aaron Judge said, I don't sign 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:52.560 for adults. I only signed for kids. Right, but what 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.640 ends up happening and these people are so stupid, the players, 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:58.920 the athletes. Well then the autograph hounds will just pay 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:01.760 kids to go get their autograph. So it's like, you 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:03.840 know you're not gonna you're not gonna win that battle. 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.520 Yeah, it turns into child labor. 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:10.359 Exactly, So you're encouraging child labor. Aaron Judge like, what 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:13.119 are you doing, dude? You know, just sign it. It's like, 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.800 and what's the big deal, dude, You're you're richer than rich. 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:18.639 Like you can make the argument the w NBA players 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:22.520 aren't that rich. You're in Judges likes, just sign the 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:26.560 autograph and Joey Chestnut listen. We're happy for Joey. We've 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:28.560 had him on this because of you, Danny. We've had 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:29.920 him on a few times. I don't know if he's 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:32.719 gonna be on this. I guess we'd have to get 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:35.600 him for next week because the following week is the 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:38.080 fourth of July. Right, if my math is correct, I think. 0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:39.960 Yeah, I could hit him up and see if he 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:41.359 has some time for the fifth hour. 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.080 Remember last year, last year we tried to We got 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:48.160 him on, but it was very awkward. Yes, I called 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:51.320 him hung up on me? I called him again, Why 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:53.639 do you keep calling me? It was like he was 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:54.399 very upset. 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:55.000 Yeah. 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:57.439 Last year, the only time he wanted anything to do 0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:59.320 with me is when we were filling in on the 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:00.520 Dan Patrick Show. 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:03.600 Well, okay, I'll go for the the big time slot there. 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:07.200 So yeah, he did come on Covino and Rich the 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:10.320 day he made the announcement. So I feel like I'm 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:13.000 making progress with him because that wasn't the Dan Patrick 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:15.960 time slot one year removed. I feel like I'm making 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:17.679 a little bit of progress with Joey. 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:18.760 It's cool. 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:22.160 Nathan's is not the same without him. And by the way, 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:24.600 just to back up for a moment, that blonde with 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:28.119 the long legs we were talking about Sophie Cunningham in 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:29.400 case you want to look her up. 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:32.480 Okay, And the woman that got upset, she was a 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.399 little taken aback by the autograph. Was that Kelsey Plumb? 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:36.880 Is that her name? Am I getting that right? 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:39.720 That's right? That's Darren Waller's ex wife. 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:43.960 Okay. All the guy played for the Raiders, yeah. 0:18:44.680 --> 0:18:48.320 Yeah, and retired on the Giants because they wanted him 0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:50.159 to play full back a couple of plays. 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:53.399 Yeah, not only retired from the Giants, he paid seven 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.200 hundred thousand dollars or something to retire from the Giants. 0:18:56.800 --> 0:19:00.840 That's a good financial move. That is a solid financial move. 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:06.720 Let's see who's next. Quang in ho Chie Men, Vietnam. 0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:09.760 So he claims Big Man and Daddy g Radio, I 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:12.359 cannot stand your overnight show. I never listened to it. 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:16.119 Would neither shout it out as it's not a Morning 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:20.960 Zoo show, nor download it elsewhere or everywhere I get 0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:23.640 my streaming services, and definitely do not have it as 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:27.320 a preset. However, is there any way that I can 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:31.080 convince you to cease and desist referring to New York 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:34.960 City as Gotham. I am in the camp that fictional 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:42.160 city Gotham draws its inspiration from Chicago. Well, Quang, first 0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:45.960 of all, thank you for, as you say here, not 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:49.640 standing for the Overnight show. You never listen, would neither 0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:52.760 shout it out or listen to it, download it and 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:55.720 all that stuff. I'm sure that is not That is 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:58.119 the way it is, and that's not a lie at all. No, 0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:03.119 the nickname, if you look at the nickname of New York. 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:08.200 Gotham is one of the like the Big Apple. There's 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:11.040 a few different terms that you can use, and so, 0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:15.600 as you know, I like to mix my lexicon up. 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.320 And that's you know, that's what we did. The Empire 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:23.159 state of my city that never sleeps. But it is 0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:29.520
