Speaker 1: Kabooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers.
Speaker 3: In the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: The clearing House of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the a Everywhere and a happy Sunday to you,
Speaker 1: football all day long, a great time of the year,
Speaker 1: Ben Mallard, Danny g And It's the twenty sixth day
Speaker 1: of November. A glorious Sunday, and the fifth ur podcast
Speaker 1: here Danny As we had football on Thursday, we had
Speaker 1: the Dolphin Jet game. On Friday, that Black Friday game,
Speaker 1: and then on Saturday we had college football and now
Speaker 1: today more NFL football. So we got a little football
Speaker 1: and they've got a game tomorrow, so there's a little
Speaker 1: football like every day.
Speaker 3: If Mark Davis had any brains, he'd be on the
Speaker 3: phone with the league office and try to take ownership
Speaker 3: of the Black Friday game. It should be the Silver
Speaker 3: and Black Friday.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a great idea.
Speaker 3: I like that. It's a good idea here. Every year
Speaker 3: he should do that hosting in Vegas. That would be
Speaker 3: a great Turkey after Turkey holiday.
Speaker 1: You're missing your calling, Dan. He should be on Madison
Speaker 1: Avenue working in marketing. You could do branding and marketing
Speaker 1: and that's that's great.
Speaker 3: And my favorite team, the Raiders. They won your bet
Speaker 3: for you last weekend.
Speaker 1: I did. I appreciate that very much. I think the
Speaker 1: Raiders who are playing their number one and I gave
Speaker 1: this stat on the TV show this weekend. The Raiders
Speaker 1: are the number one scoring defense in the NFL since
Speaker 1: Antonio Pierce took over. Of course, it does help that
Speaker 1: they played the Jets and the Giants in that stretch,
Speaker 1: but the Dolphins are legit and they kept the Dolphins
Speaker 1: from scoring too many points. The reason the Raires lost
Speaker 1: that game was not because of the fact that they
Speaker 1: were having problems defensively keeping the Dolphins from scoring, because
Speaker 1: they only scored twenty points or whatever it was in
Speaker 1: that game, well on very many points.
Speaker 3: So it was because they were too conservative there right
Speaker 3: before halftime, taking the field goal even though they had
Speaker 3: time to go into the end zone, and then at
Speaker 3: the end of the game. They had those scoring opportunities
Speaker 3: where they decided to not be conservative and go for
Speaker 3: it on fourth downs. Had they taken those field goals
Speaker 3: at the end of the game, they could have won
Speaker 3: on a field goal in that final drive.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately did not work out that way, but they did
Speaker 1: win the bet, which I'm happy about and so good
Speaker 1: for me. Let's see what happens this weekend and all
Speaker 1: that is Patrick Mahoney.
Speaker 3: I hear he's coming in angry because he's awful loss.
Speaker 1: Angry Mahomes, Angry Mahomes. We still got those crappy wide receivers.
Speaker 1: See what plays out this week. On this podcast, we
Speaker 1: have Pop Goes the Culture and the mail Bag. The
Speaker 1: mail Bag, We'll start with Pop Goes the Culture. Well,
Speaker 1: here's something that everyone needs in their lives. Danny coming
Speaker 1: in January to Seattle Sonic Symphony, a live Sonic the
Speaker 1: Hedgehog music show. I didn't know this was a thing.
Speaker 1: Is this a thing? I guess it is. I guess
Speaker 1: it has been a thing. It began its run back
Speaker 1: in September. I had not heard about this. Live shows
Speaker 1: in London. Also, Paris came through La Boston, Chicago, and
Speaker 1: it's heading towards Sonic the Hedgehog, heading towards Seattle. They
Speaker 1: have a show. This is how I learned about it.
Speaker 1: They're celebrating the thirtieth anniversary. Thirtieth anniversary, which actually was
Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty one, but since everything, I guess
Speaker 1: was shut down with the COVID stuff still, then here
Speaker 1: we are. They're having a big, big party, big fun.
Speaker 1: So that's sign me up for that. I think I'm
Speaker 1: good on that. Have you ever watched squid games? Any
Speaker 1: squid games? You into that at all? Yeah, lawyers are
Speaker 1: getting involved now in squid games, the squid Games, the Challenge.
Speaker 1: The players want compensation because they're getting injured and they
Speaker 1: would like to be paid. They would like to be paid,
Speaker 1: or their lawyers would like to be paid. It says
Speaker 1: contestants of Squid Games, the Netflix TV show that the
Speaker 1: Challenge are seeking compensation for injuries they allegedly suffered on
Speaker 1: the show. So they've lawyered up, and it's very hard
Speaker 1: to find an ambulance chasing lawyer and players competed in
Speaker 1: the the Oh.
Speaker 3: I just looked it up. I thought you were talking
Speaker 3: about the original movie that was really popular. I thought
Speaker 3: this is squid Games.
Speaker 1: The challenge, yeah, the Netflix thing? Yeah into that at
Speaker 1: all or nothing?
Speaker 3: Haven't seen the challenge?
Speaker 1: All right? Well I have not either. It's done very well.
Speaker 1: But now it's done so well that the lawyers are
Speaker 1: involved in like, hey, we would like we would like
Speaker 1: some money, and we would like to be paid. We
Speaker 1: would like a nice compensation because our persons, our people
Speaker 1: are getting hurt and there's a ton of money. The
Speaker 1: Netflix thing, like, you don't know for sure how many
Speaker 1: people are actually watching any of these streaming shows because
Speaker 1: there's no way to really track it. Like it's like television,
Speaker 1: like a show that I'm doing on cable, you can
Speaker 1: keep track how many people are watching stuff like that,
Speaker 1: But on on Netflix or Amazon Prime or those type
Speaker 1: of things that you don't really know how many people
Speaker 1: are watching it. But Netflix is worth a ton of money.
Speaker 1: So the lawyers are like, hey, we would like to
Speaker 1: get a piece of the action. So remember that show
Speaker 1: that Joe Rogan hosted. What was that show called Back
Speaker 1: in the Day on NBC where they did crazy challenges?
Speaker 3: Fear Factor?
Speaker 1: Yeah, fear Factor. They got sued too. I remember I
Speaker 1: remember hearing a lawsuits involving that So speaking of lawsuits,
Speaker 1: I mean they're there everywhere. We can just do a
Speaker 1: segment on lawsuits. The here's one. This is a passenger
Speaker 1: who's claiming that airlines offer imported dog food to customers.
Speaker 1: A guy traveling with China Eastern Airlines, and he showed
Speaker 1: a picture of the business class menu and the people
Speaker 1: were like blown away. This thing went viral this week,
Speaker 1: the guy on Facebook. It was a picture of the
Speaker 1: menu drawings attention. It drew attention to a disturbing occurrence.
Speaker 1: Several dishes were offered, including appetizers, soup, breads, and desserts.
Speaker 1: Among the array of dishes the dog food option. So
Speaker 1: they literally they didn't even like hide it. They're like, hey,
Speaker 1: we've got we've got doc now is it possible that
Speaker 1: they put that on there in case people were traveling
Speaker 1: with their dogs? But I'm looking at it here and
Speaker 1: it says smoked pepper, beef, vanilla shrimp, imported dog food.
Speaker 1: Like it literally said imported dog food on the menu.
Speaker 1: I mean, are people like into eating dog food? I know,
Speaker 1: I've heard urban legends that sometimes old people eat dog food.
Speaker 3: The other day there was leftover gravy, uh huh, and
Speaker 3: my wife. He slopped it on top of this to
Speaker 3: go container for our oldest and it looked like Alpo.
Speaker 1: That dogs licked that whole thing, and.
Speaker 3: I thought, but what an old reference Alpo?
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Now we got into a debate. We we
Speaker 1: talked about this on the podcast last week. There was
Speaker 1: this debate whether or not dry or wet dog food,
Speaker 1: like what is better for the dog, the dry or
Speaker 1: the wet. And now human food is better dry or wet?
Speaker 1: Is food better? Like you pour gravy all over something.
Speaker 1: Most of the food we eats pretty dry, right, I
Speaker 1: would think, like chips, there's not no moisture and chips, nuts, candy,
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And now there's the companies who sell the healthy
Speaker 3: dog food that goes in your refrigerator, the fresh food
Speaker 3: for dogs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm good on that. I'm all right on that. Well,
Speaker 1: here's another story. We get tons of these on the
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour podcast. Tourists left stranded in the Nevada desert
Speaker 1: because they followed the map the you know the map
Speaker 1: on your phone. It took them on a short cut
Speaker 1: and they ended up stranded in the middle of nowhere
Speaker 1: in Nevada.
Speaker 3: And sounds like when you were the pace car.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I did not even know those roads existed.
Speaker 1: I had no idea that those roads existed out there.
Speaker 1: But they were traveling back to Vegas through Olt from
Speaker 1: LA to Vegas, and they took a short cut and
Speaker 1: they ended up stuck on a dirt road. Apparently just
Speaker 1: one car. There were a bunch of people that were
Speaker 1: led by Google Maps out to the middle of nowhere
Speaker 1: and because there was I guess a delay on I fifteen,
Speaker 1: which no, they never have those delays on I fifteen
Speaker 1: between La and Vegas. And there you go a desert
Speaker 1: road that doesn't even look like a road. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna photo to any it looks just like a it's
Speaker 1: just like dirt.
Speaker 3: It's just dirt and.
Speaker 1: All because there are actually paved roads out in the desert,
Speaker 1: out in the middle of nowhere. And so these people
Speaker 1: had to call nine to one one because they were
Speaker 1: in the middle of nowhere. We're stuck on a dirt road.
Speaker 1: But at some point doesn't common sense kick in. We're like,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna follow a map like the map's taking
Speaker 1: as a place we shouldn't go. Maybe we ought to
Speaker 1: go back to the highway and go back the way
Speaker 1: we came. Do they ever do that? I don't. It
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like.
Speaker 3: It, no, because I mean I've been using the ways
Speaker 3: app as long as you have. Yeah, and to a
Speaker 3: lot of people, especially youngsters who maybe only been driving
Speaker 3: for a few years, that's the bible. I mean, whatever
Speaker 3: it says, you do that. So, I mean we've heard
Speaker 3: those funny stories about people driving into bodies of water
Speaker 3: because they're GPS told them to.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, those happened.
Speaker 3: I now we.
Speaker 1: Should make people go down to Triple A and get maps.
Speaker 3: Is what we should do.
Speaker 2: Danny.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a Thomas Guide.
Speaker 1: Old school, right, Remember the Thomas Guide we had to
Speaker 1: figure out we go on a family road trip and
Speaker 1: the family had to get all the maps out to go,
Speaker 1: figure out where to go and have what roads to
Speaker 1: take and all that. You didn't worry about the traffic.
Speaker 1: Never worried about the traffic on that.
Speaker 3: Back in the day, when we were in school, we
Speaker 3: actually had to have a class about how to read maps.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there's an art to it. Now you don't
Speaker 1: have to worry about it just tells you exactly where
Speaker 1: to go, and it might get you stranded in the
Speaker 1: middle of nowhere on some dusty Winnemucca Road out in
Speaker 1: the middle of Nevada. Which Winnemucca Road is in Nevada. Oh,
Speaker 1: here's a fun story. Super pigs are threatened invade the
Speaker 1: northern states of the US. Here Canada super pigs. Do
Speaker 1: you see this? An exploding population of hard to eradicate
Speaker 1: superpigs in Canada is threatening to spill south of the border.
Speaker 1: Do they not respect our sovereign nation. Northern states such
Speaker 1: as our friends in Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana are
Speaker 1: trying to stop the invasion of these super pigs in Canada.
Speaker 1: The wild pigs roaming Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba who hoose
Speaker 1: a new threat. They are often crossbred and they combined
Speaker 1: the survival skills of the wild bore with the size
Speaker 1: and high fertility of domestic swine to create the super pig,
Speaker 1: and they have spread out of control. There's a report
Speaker 1: from the University of Saskatchewan that says one of Canada
Speaker 1: this is apparently authority on super pigs calls the feral
Speaker 1: swane the most invasive animal on the planet and an
Speaker 1: ecological train wreck. Watch out for the I wonder if
Speaker 1: they taste good. You think people that eat pig and
Speaker 1: stuff like super pigs because they taste they taste me.
Speaker 1: And these are rather large, these super pigs I bought.
Speaker 1: I looked at some photos. These are some big things.
Speaker 1: They're not quite the size of a cow, but they're
Speaker 1: not the size of your normal backyard pick. These things
Speaker 1: are pretty big.
Speaker 3: That's some thick bacon.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of bacon. That is a lot of bacon.
Speaker 1: So something else to worry about. I'd rather have those
Speaker 1: than remember the killer bees that were here and I
Speaker 1: guess are still here a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, have you ever had candied bacon? I have not.
Speaker 3: I bet you those super pigs when you make bacon
Speaker 3: out of them, they just automatically taste like candied bacon.
Speaker 1: Just put sugar all over them and you're good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like brown sugar. Well, anything with brown sugar is
Speaker 1: pretty good. You can't go wrong with brown sugar, you
Speaker 1: really can't. What is next on pop goes the culture? Well,
Speaker 1: Barbie has introduced the new toy. This is very exciting.
Speaker 1: We're big Barbie guys, Danny. We grew up with Barbie,
Speaker 1: unless we didn't, but I thought this was interesting.
Speaker 3: Their latest tearing their heads off.
Speaker 1: The latest barbie is Wilma Mankiller. They have introduced a
Speaker 1: Wilma Mankiller doll, honoring Cherokee nations first female principal chief.
Speaker 3: So there you go.
Speaker 1: Mankiller sounds sounds wonderful, available just in time for Christmas.
Speaker 1: Sounds like a great idea. The late man Killer, a
Speaker 1: social activist, led the Cherokee Nation in what is now
Speaker 1: present day Oklahoma for ten years and I guess not
Speaker 1: that long ago, from nineteen eighty five to nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 3: What a name.
Speaker 1: I'm looking for, a Wilma Mankiller.
Speaker 4: I got it all over me.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the mailbag. What do you
Speaker 1: say you want to get? Oh, we want to get
Speaker 1: the mail bag. We'll go to the mail That means
Speaker 1: we got to bring in our guy. Ohiol.
Speaker 4: It's all right, thank you, Ohiol.
Speaker 1: These are actual letters by actual listeners to the podcast.
Speaker 1: You can email anytime you want. Real fifth Hour at
Speaker 1: gmail dot com, no numbers, all letters Real fifth Hour
Speaker 1: at gmail dot com. And we also post during the
Speaker 1: week on the Facebook page and you can check that
Speaker 1: out during the week. But post you can email whenever
Speaker 1: you want just email whenever you want, all right, So
Speaker 1: the first one is from Alf from Nascar. He says, Guys,
Speaker 1: what's your position on traffic circles aka roundabouts? Where I
Speaker 1: come from? Rotaries? They seem to be popping up here
Speaker 1: like rabbits in the spring, says says Alf. So I
Speaker 1: do not like traffic circles. They are a pain of
Speaker 1: the behind. We don't have too many of them here
Speaker 1: in southern California, but when I have traveled around the country,
Speaker 1: I have had my run ins with traffic circles. The
Speaker 1: worst place I ever went for traffic circles, and I
Speaker 1: think this is the capital of traffic circles or roundabouts
Speaker 1: or rotaries, as you say, Alf, would be in Indianapolis,
Speaker 1: because I was there a long time ago. But when
Speaker 1: I was driving around Indianapolis there were like so many
Speaker 1: of these traffic circles, it was such a pain of
Speaker 1: the behind. Danny, do you have a strong hot take
Speaker 1: on traffic circles.
Speaker 3: I was working for a radio station on the Central Coast,
Speaker 3: or the South Central Coast as I called it, because
Speaker 3: of all the Laker fans there in Pismo Beach in
Speaker 3: Santa Maria, California, yeah, and there's lots of traffic circles
Speaker 3: in the city of Santa Maria. I'm not sure why
Speaker 3: you know Santa Maria. Well, I do for the Costco.
Speaker 3: It's right in the room and I'm driving up to.
Speaker 1: The beaches. Further up. We stopped by the Costco to
Speaker 1: get gas.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. So, as I was doing morning drive on
Speaker 3: the hip hop R and B station, I made a
Speaker 3: declaration on the air that if the Lakers did not
Speaker 3: snap their losing streak that they had back then, that
Speaker 3: I was going to drive the radio station van in
Speaker 3: a circle thirty times. In one of those roundabouts. I
Speaker 3: lost the bet. I had to do it. And as
Speaker 3: I'm live on my cell phone on the morning show
Speaker 3: driving the van in the thirty circles, Santa Maria, PD
Speaker 3: showed up and pulled me over.
Speaker 1: They pulled you over? Is that not allowed? Are you?
Speaker 1: Were you violating me?
Speaker 3: I feel like a listener called it in or somebody
Speaker 3: for the PD was listening, because it felt like they
Speaker 3: were looking for me, if you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, maybe they were listening or something and they yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: did they give you a ticket or did they tell
Speaker 1: you to knock it off.
Speaker 3: He just told me to knock it off.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Well, Indianapolis is known as the circle city,
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's for the traffic circles. But
Speaker 1: they do have a ton of They do have a
Speaker 1: ton of traffic circles there, and not not a fact
Speaker 1: because there's always like some people that don't know how
Speaker 1: to handle the traffic circle. They they're too skittish, they
Speaker 1: don't go into it fast enough. And then there's other
Speaker 1: people that are too fast. Like there's a it's like
Speaker 1: threading a needle. There's an art to it, and some
Speaker 1: people just are tairible at it.
Speaker 3: But I well, most people don't know who has the
Speaker 3: right of way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they're not familiar. They passed the driving test,
Speaker 1: but then they forgot everything they learned in the driving test.
Speaker 1: Next up is Mike in Turkey Eaton, He says, Ben
Speaker 1: and Danny g what do you guys think about Darryl
Speaker 1: Hall obtaining a restraining order against John Oates? Are you
Speaker 1: as devastated as I am? Or do you not care?
Speaker 1: In the aftermath? Will you be joining team Hall or
Speaker 1: team Oates? Mike says, And also, what was the standout
Speaker 1: winner in your Thanksgiving spread this year, I have to
Speaker 1: give the nod to turkey. Well that's a hot take, Mike.
Speaker 1: Definitely not turkey at the Malor Mansion. I would give
Speaker 1: the nod to the brisket with the mashed potatoes and
Speaker 1: the mac and cheese on the side. Now, what was
Speaker 1: your That's a good question for you, though, Danny, because
Speaker 1: you had the ritzy Lucille's Barbecue home turkey where you
Speaker 1: brought it home and you had to you heat it
Speaker 1: up right, You had to put it back in the oven,
Speaker 1: heat it up a little bit. Is that correct?
Speaker 3: Yeah? It was pre sliced, okay, but the turkey was smoked,
Speaker 3: which we didn't like.
Speaker 1: You didn't like it really, Okay, I.
Speaker 3: Don't like smoke turkey.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: It had a weird aftertaste. But you know what was
Speaker 3: really good? We did half turkey, half am. The honey
Speaker 3: baked haam that Lucille's served was a plus. So for us,
Speaker 3: the ham was the standout.
Speaker 1: What about the did you get the biscuits? Did there
Speaker 1: what side dishes?
Speaker 3: Let's see mac and cheese stuffing. Oh, they have like
Speaker 3: a corn cake.
Speaker 1: Okay, that sounds good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the corn cake was a favorite of the family.
Speaker 1: And again, if you missed the Saturday podcast, you said
Speaker 1: there were people lined up in a parking lot. There
Speaker 1: was no lu seal sign. But these are like high
Speaker 1: end vehicles.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there were vehicles of all kinds in
Speaker 3: the line. But I at first thought it was the
Speaker 3: line was for needy people. But then I noticed some
Speaker 3: of the cars in line were fancy cars, and I
Speaker 3: was like, Oh, those people aren't here for free turkeys. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you never know, you never know. True.
Speaker 3: Yeah, wealthy, stay wealthy.
Speaker 1: Let's see here. Next up is from Dave in Florida.
Speaker 1: He does not say where in Florida. Says Ben and Danny,
Speaker 1: g If you guys could live here in Florida for free,
Speaker 1: which part of the state would you choose? From Miami, Tampa,
Speaker 1: Orlando or a small town? How about the Redneck Riviera?
Speaker 1: You guys can live with Ed who fled. I think
Speaker 1: we're good. I think we're good with that, right. We
Speaker 1: don't need to live with Jed who fled? I think
Speaker 1: he doesn't. Does he even live in a house. He's
Speaker 1: always wandering around in the middle of the night, which
Speaker 1: is troublesome. Calling the show from from that redneck riverer. No,
Speaker 1: I've not been to Tampa. I've been to Miami, I've
Speaker 1: been to Orlando. I haven't spent too much time in
Speaker 1: Florida over the years. Miami was fine. It's just reminded
Speaker 1: me of La just a flat La. Orlando seemed like
Speaker 1: Orange County to me to relate to. There is actually
Speaker 1: Orange County in Orlando. I guess if you're gonna live
Speaker 1: in Florida, you gotta live on the beach, right, Why
Speaker 1: would you live in Orlando?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Right, I was just gonna say Destin would be
Speaker 3: the destination. And Clay Travis is building a huge mansion
Speaker 3: there right now, so we should go crash his mansion
Speaker 3: once it's built.
Speaker 1: Now, is he leaving Tennessee to move to Florida or
Speaker 1: he's just gonna that's gonna be his vacation home.
Speaker 3: That's his vacation He already has a vacation home there,
Speaker 3: but it's so he's in the middle of building a
Speaker 3: multi million dollar mansion there in Destin on the beach.
Speaker 1: Well, since you're gonna host the Animal Thunderdome with Clay
Speaker 1: then and I do this podcast with you, then I
Speaker 1: think we should be able to rent it out, not
Speaker 1: rent it out, but like on a weekend he's not there.
Speaker 1: I think we should be able to use it.
Speaker 3: I agree with you.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that'll solve it. Man, all right, Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta live on the beach somewhere, Gary in Pittsburgh, right, Since,
Speaker 1: says Ben and Danny G. The follow up to the
Speaker 1: last Iowa Minute was, as they say Radio Gold, My
Speaker 1: question is for Danny G, did he ever have an
Speaker 1: Iowa Sam up to the elbow situation? After that revelation
Speaker 1: from Iowa Sam, shouldn't the segment now be called the
Speaker 1: Iowan d D edit or DDY it. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I'm probably reading that wrong anyway, Gary says, who knows
Speaker 1: what else that freak has done in the nation's heartland.
Speaker 1: Keep up the great work. And if you forgot Iowa
Speaker 1: Sam told the story that he was at someone else's house.
Speaker 1: He went to do a number two and he clogged
Speaker 1: the toilet. So he didn't see a plunger, so he
Speaker 1: just used his hand to unclog the toilet. Oh oh natural,
Speaker 1: oh natural. He just grabbed it and pulled the made
Speaker 1: sure it was unclogged. And so he wants to know,
Speaker 1: have you ever had that happen. Gary wants to know
Speaker 1: if you've ever been at someone else's house and had
Speaker 1: that situation.
Speaker 3: Kell No, no, Yeah.
Speaker 1: And the reason, I don't know if you're like me, Danny,
Speaker 1: but I I do not poop at other people's homes.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say that, and I avoid that at
Speaker 3: all costs. They would have to be a real emergency
Speaker 3: to feel comfortable doing that at somebody's house. And then
Speaker 3: I would make sure that the bathroom smelled the right
Speaker 3: way before I left the restroom.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like the home field advantage when I'm going
Speaker 1: number two. I do not like the foreign establishment. Now.
Speaker 1: I have told the story the famous podcast where I
Speaker 1: had my gallbladder taken out and it was fasting. I
Speaker 1: was on a walk and I had to go in
Speaker 1: a public restroom. It was great to see pooh, And yeah,
Speaker 1: well I made a big mess because I misfired. I
Speaker 1: didn't want to. You know, I don't need to get
Speaker 1: into the story now, but yeah, I do not. I
Speaker 1: don't even poop at families homes like I have the
Speaker 1: in laws, forget friends. It's just I have a strong,
Speaker 1: strong take on that. Jay Scoop writes in from the Ukraine.
Speaker 1: Listening to the podcast, he says, Hey, fellow miss fellas,
Speaker 1: miss y'all thought about you when I came upon this
Speaker 1: word that I had never seen before until reading an article.
Speaker 1: The word is bulwark pronunciation definition says he sent some
Speaker 1: screenshots here. He says in relation to Ukraine trying to
Speaker 1: defend energy plants from the intimate onslaught of Russian missiles
Speaker 1: this winter. There's an article here and it said Ukraine
Speaker 1: has also built bulwarks around facilities to shield them from
Speaker 1: direct hits or debrize from missiles and drones. And he
Speaker 1: sends a little scoop here, So I did this is interesting.
Speaker 1: So I had not heard of the word of bulwark
Speaker 1: either until you sent this, j scoop. And I guess
Speaker 1: you could consider this a bonus word of the day.
Speaker 1: But it goes back to the early fifteen hundreds. It
Speaker 1: is a fortification outside a city wall or gate, a
Speaker 1: rampant barricade. It's from Middle Dutch or Middle German. And
Speaker 1: then there's another it's from the fifteenth century. There's a
Speaker 1: couple of different origin stories on that. But anyway, so
Speaker 1: there's a bulwork in jayscoop. I'll hope you know. Well,
Speaker 1: if you're not familiar with Jason Jays, Scoop has been
Speaker 1: a great contributor to the show. He's been a great
Speaker 1: supporter of the show. And he is living abroad. He
Speaker 1: is helping the military in the Ukraine. He's an ex
Speaker 1: military guys. His family roots are from the Ukraine, served
Speaker 1: in the military here and so he is out doing
Speaker 1: his thing, working his magic. John in Northern Colorado writes,
Speaker 1: and he says inside radio, question for you, fellas, how
Speaker 1: many headphones have been stolen over the years. Many headphones
Speaker 1: have been stolen over the years. I don't recall headphones.
Speaker 1: Oh not headphones. But what is always missing? The jack?
Speaker 3: Yes, in the studios are always scrambling for the headphone jacks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So what happens is in the radio station, because
Speaker 1: everything's got to be a little different. Pain in the ass.
Speaker 1: So you buy headphones, they have usually a small, small
Speaker 1: headphone jack. But to use them in a radio station,
Speaker 1: you have to have an adapter because you need the
Speaker 1: bigger I don't know what the name of it is.
Speaker 3: You might know the name of it, Danny, but.
Speaker 1: It's a larger thing you got to put on the
Speaker 1: headphones to make them work, and there's hardly.
Speaker 3: Any of those.
Speaker 1: Those are the things I always go. But my problem
Speaker 1: with the headphones. A couple of years ago in the
Speaker 1: old studio, there was a glitch on the left side
Speaker 1: in the studio where I would have my headphones on,
Speaker 1: and then like every once in a while, the thing
Speaker 1: would overmodulate, like the audio would all of a sudden
Speaker 1: bump up too loud and blow out my headphones. And
Speaker 1: these are one hundred dollars one hundred and fifty dollars headphones.
Speaker 1: And I went to the company, I'm like, what the hell,
Speaker 1: this is a glitch in your equipment, and you should
Speaker 1: buy me new headphones. You know what the company did, Danny,
Speaker 1: When I told them that, they laughed at me. They said, No,
Speaker 1: that's not our problem, that's your problem. How's it my problem?
Speaker 1: I gotta wear the headphones at work.
Speaker 3: Headphone adapter is the term adapter, just adapter. It goes
Speaker 3: to the three point five, which is the size that
Speaker 3: we need. You're right, Ben, it's weird like you would
Speaker 3: think that with all this high tech equipment they could
Speaker 3: make studios take both.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's too much to ask for, Yeah, say, of course, Now,
Speaker 1: these most headphones these days are just wireless headphones.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't use those in the on air studio.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah you can't, you cannot.
Speaker 3: You have to. Yeah, we have to go old school
Speaker 3: and use wired headphones.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Fred from Spring Texas. Right, So he says, hello,
Speaker 1: hello fellas, I hope you had a fine Thanksgiving. Can
Speaker 1: you explain what is the difference between Ask Ben and
Speaker 1: the mail Bag? Well, yeah, list is, Fred. I shouldn't
Speaker 1: have to explain this, Fred, And it's kind of obvious.
Speaker 1: This is a totally foreign segment compared to Ask Ben.
Speaker 1: The mail bag is so unique, it's so original that
Speaker 1: we really withdraw from all other bits that we do
Speaker 1: with the mail bag. It's so popular, people love it.
Speaker 1: We talk in circles here on the mail Bag. It's
Speaker 1: soone Ask Ben. You know, it's helter skelter. It's on
Speaker 1: the radio. It's so old school on the radio.
Speaker 3: And also, you botched that clock on the live show.
Speaker 3: So Ask Ben is rushed in two minutes. No, no,
Speaker 3: at twenty five minutes.
Speaker 1: This is a solid Well, all podcasts are supposed to
Speaker 1: be about thirty minutes, no longer than thirty minutes, because
Speaker 1: people only listen for thirty minutes. We've been through this before.
Speaker 1: But that's the thing about podcasting. Like Joe Rogan, somebody
Speaker 1: emailed me. I said this on the radio show this week, Danny.
Speaker 1: Somebody emailed me. I did not include this in the
Speaker 1: mail bag. So this is not from Fred in Spring, Texas,
Speaker 1: but somebody emailed me. And he's like, well, what is
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan? He's the king of podcasting. His podcasts are
Speaker 1: like four hours. I'm like, okay, fine, but that doesn't
Speaker 1: mean people are listening to all four hours of the podcast. Now,
Speaker 1: maybe if you have somebody on that's amazing as a
Speaker 1: guest or something like that, they might listen to the
Speaker 1: whole thing. But the reality is that most people listen
Speaker 1: at the gym for about half an hour. They work
Speaker 1: out for about half an hour, go for a walk
Speaker 1: for half an hour, go on the treadmill, whatever, and
Speaker 1: that's it.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And to be fair, he's not on a network,
Speaker 3: he's not on a national network daily that's all his content,
Speaker 3: so he needs his podcast to be long. This is
Speaker 3: complimentary to your live show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is bonus coverage, Marcus writes, And we'll get
Speaker 1: out on this. Marcus from Bruceville, Eddie in Texas, right, So,
Speaker 1: and he says, I know, you guys try not to
Speaker 1: talk about sports much on this podcast. Yeah, we pretty
Speaker 1: much avoided sports. But what is your favorite sports moment?
Speaker 1: Mine would be ease. As I'm a Texas Tech fan,
Speaker 1: we would have to be the Michael Crabtree last second
Speaker 1: touchdown versus number one Texas I do remember that that was.
Speaker 1: That was quite the quite the finish. You guys being
Speaker 1: from California, can we get some Texas Tech red radar love? Hey,
Speaker 1: Texas Tech has had they had my favorite college football
Speaker 1: coach of all time. May he rest in peace, Mike Leach.
Speaker 1: I love, I loved Mike Leach. He was at Texas Tech.
Speaker 1: When I first fell in love with Mike Leach. He
Speaker 1: was at Texas Tech, act she was at Oklahoma, but
Speaker 1: he became the head coach at Texas Tech. So I loved,
Speaker 1: loved Mike Leach.
Speaker 3: Podcast for two hours. Ben. He was a regular on
Speaker 3: out kick the Coverage. He could talk for days.
Speaker 1: Oh about random things too, and he's you could ask
Speaker 1: him one question and he'd just answer his own question
Speaker 1: and asked. He'd ask his own question and answer his
Speaker 1: own follow up questions. Fascinating fascinating. But as far as
Speaker 1: great sports moments, my my greatest moment will probably shock.
Speaker 1: I'll give you one right now. Those other moments, but
Speaker 1: the greatest moment that I ever was at uh. There
Speaker 1: have been a few World Series I've been to, but
Speaker 1: the one I remember the most and the fondest was
Speaker 1: a Cleveland Indians Miami Marlins World Series, not involving the
Speaker 1: Dodgers at all. I was a young guy. I was
Speaker 1: assigned to cover the World Series. We were in Miami.
Speaker 1: It was Game seven, Game seven of the World Series.
Speaker 1: It went to extra innings and it looked like the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Indians were gonna win and end this long drought
Speaker 1: of championships, and the Marlins tied the game up. They
Speaker 1: went to extra innings and then Edgar Rental Rea hit
Speaker 1: a base hit to center field that scored Craig Council,
Speaker 1: as I remember. Maybe I'm completely wrong on this, but
Speaker 1: it scored Craig Council, who was a pinch runner, and
Speaker 1: that won the World Series of the Marlins. And it
Speaker 1: was a total madhouse in Miami, which is amazing considering
Speaker 1: people in Florida to give a rats ass about the Marlins.
Speaker 1: But that's One of the cool things that I attended
Speaker 1: that I was at was Game seven of the World Series.
Speaker 1: I been some NBA finals over the years, and that
Speaker 1: was all cool as well. What about you, Danny G.
Speaker 3: Two great sports moments from my favorite team comes to mind.
Speaker 3: One I listened to Bill King make the call on
Speaker 3: the radio because we were little kids playing with a
Speaker 3: football out in the yard as we listened to the
Speaker 3: Super Bowl. Marcus Allen reversed fields and ran up the
Speaker 3: middle seventy four yard touchdown. He looked like a gazelle
Speaker 3: on the play. Check babe. It's probably the football play
Speaker 3: that made me fall in love with the sport. And
Speaker 3: then the other one Bo Jackson on Monday Night Football. Yes,
Speaker 3: he runs down the sideline and he runs into the tunnel.
Speaker 1: That was pretty cool. That was that was awesome. I
Speaker 1: do remember that because the legend of Bosworth. They were
Speaker 1: hyping that game up as Bosworth versus Ball. That was
Speaker 1: the storyline. Yeah, Bosworth was a total stud at Oklahoma
Speaker 1: and a total debacle as he got to the NFL.
Speaker 1: It's like it was just an average NFL player.
Speaker 3: Jackson ran him over at the goal line and pulled
Speaker 3: him into the end zone. It was awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, we'll get out on that, Danny. Anything
Speaker 1: you want to promote here, anything When it's Sunday, I
Speaker 1: gotta go back tonight. I'll be on radio tonight doing
Speaker 1: the recap of all the NFL. I actually will be
Speaker 1: at the Charger game Tonighty're playing the Ravens, so I
Speaker 1: will be hanging out watching that game.
Speaker 3: You mentioned at the start of the podcast that the
Speaker 3: Raiders defense is looking good. They need Aidan O'Connell, the
Speaker 3: rookie quarterback, to get some points up on the board
Speaker 3: to have any chance against the Chiefs. So looking forward
Speaker 3: to watching that. And then yeah, you're on tonight, and
Speaker 3: Covino and Rich back on the air tomorrow afternoon on
Speaker 3: the network two to four pm on the West coast,
Speaker 3: and that's five to seven pm in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: And also Charleston, South Carolina as well. All Right, I
Speaker 1: have a wonderful so I thank you for listening to
Speaker 1: the podcast. Hope you had a great holiday, and we'll
Speaker 1: talk to you next time later.
Speaker 3: Skater gotta murder. I gotta go
