He treats 0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:15.800 crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich 0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:20.200 pill poppers in the penthouse, the Clearinghouse of hot takes, 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:24.080 break free for something special.

Welcome in a brain 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:42.000 new addition to the Fifth Hour with Ben Mallard and 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:47.400 Danny G Radio, and we are here for you as 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:51.680 a public service, eight days a week, eight days a week, 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:58.200 we bring it.

Are you prepared? It's been a great 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.800 weekend so far. As a producer for FSR, we always 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.560 say this to the talent when we're going into the 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.559 last hour of a good show. We tell them, great 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:27.479 show so far, last hour, don't suck it up. Now 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:34.240 exactly exactly, you must finish the race. If you're leading 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:39.039 the New York Marathon at twenty mile mark, you have 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:42.120 not finished the race. You still have to finish the race. 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:46.800 You can't. You can't declare victory before the race is finished. 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:51.000 The eighth inning of a baseball game with the rival 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:54.720 and you're winning five to three, you can't choke it away. Yeah, 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:56.800 and you want to win. You want to finish this 0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:01.840 because then the crowd will go wild, everyone will be excited. 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:04.480 The proper way to start a mailbag, There's only one 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:06.560 way to start a mailbag, and that's our buddy, the 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:24.720 great Ohio Al. Strike up the band, it's bag. All right, 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:29.120 thank you, Al, And let's get to it here. I 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:34.840 got mail, Yeah, I got mail. Yeah, you're excited. So 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:39.000 we begin with a question from blind Emmett, the Seahawks 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:43.040 fan in Olympia, Washington. He's about to start college at 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:48.560 Washington State. Good luck, Emmett, dominate Washington State. You'll probably 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:50.680 have ladies all over you and get your attention and 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:54.720 all that. You'd be very popular. But don't forget about us, Emmett. 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.280 He says, this question is for Danny g because you 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:00.280 already answered it. If there was a spider are in 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:04.560 your car, like a big one, would you call your 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:08.840 wife for the other car. So I heard this story 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:12.200 from Coope off the air when he came in late 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.840 early Monday morning. So I'm guessing that he told the 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.200 story on the air, and you guys all teased him, 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:25.000 uh correct. Now, Coop showed up about fifteen twenty minutes late. 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.919 I forget. I didn't like write it down, but he 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:29.920 wasn't there when he was supposed to be there. And 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:32.880 he usually cuts it pretty close anyway. He goes at 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:34.800 the very last second, so he doesn't leave himself a 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:38.400 lot of room. But he showed up uh late, and 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.080 then explained that there was a spider he spotted in 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.720 his car. He got the E B G B S. 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.520 He's got a rack neophobia, and so he pulled over 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:50.480 in the parking lot and demanded his bride to be. 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.680 He's not married yet, but he's demand his wife to 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:58.680 be take her car and then switch cars. My chick 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.520 would lie and never let me hear the end of 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:06.200 it if I told her to come relieve me of 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.080 a spider? Are you kidding me? I have to go 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:13.560 help her with spiders. She screams when she sees one, 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.400 and I look at it, I'm like, babe, come on, 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:19.080 that's one of the big spiders that eats the bugs. 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:23.040 Spider's Benham never really scared me all that much, except 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:27.600 for the black widow. When I see a huge black widow, Okay, 0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:31.680 I get it. Average in your house, up in a corner. 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.599 Spider that is not gonna do anything to a human. 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:38.400 Uh No. And it's funny because my stepdad, he was 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:42.240 a huge guy, former offensive lineman in high school. He 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.040 was one of those guys where he loved to try 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:47.440 to intimidate people with his size. But whenever he would 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.720 see a spider, he would scream like an eight year 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:55.800 old girl? What about a nine year old girl? It 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.080 was awesome, but it was also very emasculating because I 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.840 remember my mom giving him a lot of ship about that, 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:06.200 and he was embarrassed by it. A spider wouldn't scare 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:09.559 me like that. Maybe a snake. There was a snake 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:12.960 coming through the vent in the car. Okay, then I 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.840 would call somebody a spider. No. I would try to 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.240 just beat the ship out of that thing until it 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:22.200 was dead. And I gotta point out that the marketing 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:27.520 campaign for the Black Widow is wonderful. Like I'm the 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:29.360 same way with the Black Widow. But if you go 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.360 on the internet and type in deadly spiders, the Black 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:37.240 Widow is really low on the list. Actually, that brown recluse. Right, Yeah, 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.800 there's like there's a bunch of spiders that are more 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:43.520 trouble to human beings. Nobody mentions those names because when 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:45.800 the legend becomes the fact, you go with the legend. 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.320 It's the legend of Liberty Valance, and so the or 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.599 the man who shot Liberty Valance, and so the legend 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:53.839 is the Black Widow, and you forget all the other 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.960 terrible spiders, and anybody brings those up, you're like, come, 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:00.520 but no, those those other ones are worse in the 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.280 black Wadow. It's kind of like dinosaurs. What if I 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:07.840 asked you, Danny, what is the most famous dinosaur? That's right, exactly, 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:11.600 t Rex. Because of marketing, people know t Rex, but 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:13.839 there were a ton of other dinosaurs, but t Rex 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.760 is the most famous dinosaur. Yeah. Why did we all 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:19.600 have to drink milk at the dinner table? Yeah? Why 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:27.760 is that? Danny? Exactly? And and breakfast cereal like the whole. 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:31.480 In fact, the entire slogan one of the great marketing 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.440 success stories is breakfast is the most important meal of 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:38.560 the day. Bullshit. But they had to sell I think 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:41.600 it was Kellogg's if I remember correctly, they had to 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:47.159 sell breakfast cereal. And for many many years, people for breakfast. 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:49.560 You know what they would eat, Danny, They would eat 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:53.559 leftovers from the night before, if they had steak or whatever. 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:59.080 But that slogan or whatever like pasta. But Dr John 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:03.800 Harvey Kelly log the guy behind Kellogg's, It was his 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:07.000 marketing slogan that breakfast is the most important meal of 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:10.960 the day. And there are people to this day that 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.840 are convinced that is the case, when it was just 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:17.720 something that a guy who needed to sell sereal came 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:23.120 up with. Anyway, getting carried away here next, you learn 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:27.600 something new every week on this shows all Right, Chris 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:31.160 and Marray Cocoa Iowa has a hodgepodge of questions. He says, 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:35.360 don't you get aggravated when you are asked to donate 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:40.040 money to charity outside a billion dollar corporation? Uh store? 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.840 That one of the stories like about Walmart, I want 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:46.000 to ask them how much the owners and CEO gave first. 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.000 It annoys me to know and oh yeah, I'm right 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:51.240 there with you, Chris. You know my thoughts on charity, 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:53.840 and you know I I am. I'm not saying you 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:57.680 shouldn't be charitable, should be charitable, but uh, the when 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:00.440 the big companies are asking for donations, I get a 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:02.760 little uncomfortable. And the usually what they do is like, 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:04.880 would you like to donate a dollar to so and see? 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:10.080 Do you want to round up? Yeah? Like not with you, yeah, exactly. 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.440 My answer is always no. My answer is always know 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:15.240 and I like this, if I want to give that money, 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:18.760 I will make sure I give the money. And my 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.480 wife and I we do, uh donate somebody, but we 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.000 don't promote it. We don't announce that that kind of stuff. 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:28.280 Rather take that cents from rounding up and send it 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:32.199 directly to St. Jude's Hospital exactly. And you really have 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:35.319 to do your homework. I have been fortunate over the 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.560 years we had submitted profits that used to be one 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:41.200 of the sports books. They would take a profit, they'd 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:44.080 have a contest and then they donate thousands of dollars 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:47.400 to charity in the name whatever it was. I forget 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:48.720 how much, but it was a good amount of money 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.800 in the name of our show. And so what I 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.400 would do is I would always I would spend a 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:59.480 lot of time trying to find out which charities actually which. 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.400 My big thing is cancer. I lost my mom to 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.400 breast cancer, so I I always would go to the 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:10.040 cancer charity. But a lot of them use weasel terms. Uh, 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:13.480 they use awareness. I don't give a shit about awareness. 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.960 I think people know about cancer. So what I want 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.800 is the money that goes to charity that that goes 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:23.960 to research. Rapp research exactly. That's gonna help future generations 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.400 where we're long dead and gone. And so, uh, there's 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:30.040 a place in New York that does cancer a research. 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:31.520 I forget the name off the top of my head, 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.560 but they they're really good for example. But but yeah, 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.120 to answer your question, Chris, that annoys me. Uh, Danny, 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:37.959 you agree with me on that, right, we're both all. 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.760 He also says, best ride you went on at an 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:46.440 amusement park as a kid or an adult? I don't 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:48.560 know the best the one I love and I still 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:51.240 even as an adults. Kind of embarrassing to say Pirates 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.040 of the Caribbean, Like I go to Disney and I 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.160 don't go there very often. But I flashed back to, 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.800 like when I was a little fat kid and I 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:00.400 get on Pirates of the ca of Me and and 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:02.319 I loved it. It was cool. It was always I 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:05.199 go to disney Land, be really hot, and it was 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.520 always really cold, and there was you know, not the water, 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.520 and it was just just neat. But it was a 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:12.679 lot different back then Pirates of the Caribbean because there 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:17.160 were guys chasing women and it was not politically correct. 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:20.400 The Wolkesters hadn't gotten to to Disney at that point, 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.840 and so they did things a little differently. What about you, Danny, 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:27.080 I love the Pirates of the Caribbean because of that smell. 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:32.040 It's that water, right, It's the smell of that sitting water. Yes. 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:37.839 It's crazy how certain smells can trigger childhood memories, and 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:41.320 for me, that's one of them because as a little kid, 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.720 I was only maybe three years old the first time 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:48.760 my mom brought me into Disneyland, but I remember because 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:52.640 of that smells so distinctive to this day, when I 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.840 walk into that ride, all of a sudden, I flashed 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.000 back to the first time my mom brought me into 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:02.040 that park. And it's also one of those things, as 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:06.360 I remember back where you thought through the eyes of 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:08.160 a child. First of all, you thought you were going 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:10.320 to a different world. I did. I was like, well, 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.040 we're going under water, We're going down. You have to 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:17.400 go down a couple of dropsy and so, oh my god. 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.480 And as a kid, I was like, these look like 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:25.840 real people. When you get to the lagoon too, after 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:29.240 the drop, Yeah, and the fake bombs are going off 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:32.040 in the water. Yes, as a kid, that was real. 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.920 All of that that was happening was real. You're like, 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:36.839 oh my god, I'm in a war zone and I 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:40.360 want to boat. And they did a great job the 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:44.000 way they had the ceiling looked like the sky. All 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.719 of that. As a kid, it fooled you. You're right. 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.800 And remember the fat guy that would be sitting on 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.880 the bridge drinking the bottle of whatever, you know, look 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:54.959 at that. Oh my god, there's a big fat guy 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:56.800 up there. And I was like, oh man, but that 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:02.319 it's life for me. It's great. Uh. Chris and America. 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:04.920 The last question says, is it okay to use the 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.680 handicap stall when the rest of the bathroom is empty, 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:13.400 It has so much more room. Yeah, Jesus. Yes, if 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:17.240 it's empty, it's there for somebody who's handy, handicapped. People 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:19.280 will say, hey, don't be a douchebag, don't use it. 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:22.920 But I gotta tell you, Danny, I use it. I 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:26.880 use the handicap stall. I do sometimes too, Ben if 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:32.400 the other stalls are too small, it's too claustrophobic. Can't relax. 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.880 No poop comes out. If you can't relax, you gotta 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:41.600 relax your your spincter. Uh. He says goal Raiders. Chris, 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:45.719 he's a fe like them already. And as you heard 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:47.439 in the interview, I hope you heard it, Chris and 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:50.319 Danny you heard this. Uh. Brent says he's still got 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.920 he's got Raider season tickets. Yeah, you go to all 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:55.679 the Raider games and all that. And he's got the 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:57.679 VIC and stuff that he does in Vegas. But he's 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:00.920 he's still a Raider fan, he said. Not doing the 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:05.680 play by play anymore. Corey from Minnesota writes, and he says, 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:10.840 have you ever taken psychedelics? He wants to know Aaron 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:16.920 Rodgers spawned this question. Yes, No, I have never taken 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:22.439 the mushrooms or any of that. Uh, Danny have you 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:24.800 ever dabbled in that world? Have you were gone down 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:29.199 that road? Not purposely? Uh. The The only thing I 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.680 could think of is I was at a recording studio 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:36.839 in my twenties and they were all smoking there. That's 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:40.079 a normal thing at a recording studio. Let's just call 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:43.160 it coop because our listeners will know what that is. 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:47.400 So in the recording studio, we're outside and they're smoking coupe, 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:51.640 and I felt really odd, though I was like, well, 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:56.200 this is not the normal feeling. In about a half 0:13:56.280 --> 0:14:00.280 hour later, my world was spinning. The only I think 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.559 I could compare it to is when you get really drunk, 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.839 you're holding on for dear life because your world is 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:10.920 just rotating. And so I don't know if they sprinkled, 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:15.440 has She's or something on top of that. But from 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:17.520 that point on, Ben whenever I would go to a 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:20.000 recording studio like that because I worked in the hip 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:24.040 hop world, when somebody offered a piece pipe, I was like, no, no, no, 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:27.800 that's all right. I'm good. Do you see any goblins 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:30.960 like hobgoblins and you try to hide under a table 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:34.280 and no, no, nothing like that. But I just remember 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.600 I was outside of the studio, and my whole world 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:42.000 was rotating. So that's the only thing I mean, I 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:44.720 have never I would not do mushrooms. I've never done 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:49.680 any hard drugs, never cocaine. I'm on drugs right now. Man. 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:52.720 You know, we grew up in the len Bias era 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.400 where we were just scared to death, like we thought, 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:57.880 oh my god, I could have an allergic reaction to 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:01.320 drugs and die. Yeah, and I had to double whammy. 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:05.040 I had a Jewish mother and I also len Bias 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:06.920 and those guys and it wasn't just lenn By. There 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.640 were other people, famous people who weren't maybe in sports 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:12.240 we dropped dead because they did the wrong thing. But 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.720 that stuff still goes on today with the fentanyl and 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.760 and and it's terrible. These kids had a buddy of 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:21.480 mine in radio whose son, uh died because somebody put 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:24.720 some fentan al on something he wasn't you know, whatever 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:26.680 weed or whatever it was, and so he ended up 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:30.280 overdosing and passing away. It's it sucks, man. You can't 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:34.560 trust people you don't know, Yeah, for sure. Next up 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:40.320 on the mail bag, see your Aenie Mini miney Mo. 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:45.440 Let's go to Neil from the real Miami, he says, 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:49.359 deer dynamic, dynamic dual. I have been dabbling in YouTube 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:54.280 documentaries and I saw one on Adam West nineteen sixty 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:57.960 six Batman, and he says, you two have a lot 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:01.040 in common. He was a radi you guy, big fan 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:05.800 of Hawaii where he was recruited out of Hollywood because 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:10.400 of his slick, seductive voice, where he worked with William 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:14.200 Shatner who got him a huge boost like you, and 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:18.520 he got a huge Warner Brothers contract like you. He yeah, right, 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:22.680 But anyways, I am a huge fan of the show. 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:26.760 This show the real Neil or Neil from the real 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:30.240 Miami says rather uh, he says, a big fan of 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:33.640 the show. And I have a sentimental value as this 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:37.400 was the one and only show I got that was 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:41.240 exposed to as a in a refugee camp when my 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:46.040 family and I escaped from Ukraine, the former Soviet Union. 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:50.480 But pity party apart, here's the question, Well, wow, I 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:53.600 know you've told that you've given us details Neil about 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:58.480 your life experience, but I am fascinated by that You've 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:01.440 lived that life and you've done something that not not 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:03.680 many have been able to accomplish and you're living a 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:07.679 great life in Miami. You're a baller in South Florida. 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:12.800 He says, what childhood show do you? And uh, I know, 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:18.720 my Danny g still keeping your heart and why mm hmm. Okay. 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:23.200 So another sentimental question, Danny that we can answer here. 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:29.879 And it's Sunday or Saturday, excuse me, Saturday Morning cartoons. 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:34.920 Game changer now in terms of sports, this weekend baseball, 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:46.040 oh nice, this week Oh god, I and oh I 0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:49.320 could not wait for the for this and that in 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:52.040 l a well, you know, it's growing up. It led 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:54.920 into the Game of the Week on NBC, the game 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:58.159 of look the Toronto Blue Jays and the Detroit Tigers 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:00.520 or matched up whatever it might be, and I loved 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:03.160 and but that was at a time we didn't get 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:06.440 exposed to the other teams and the other sports in 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:09.240 the sports world. And so those are a couple from me. 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:13.480 Any of the any of the Saturday Morning cartoons, Fat Albert, 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:17.240 g I, Joe, you go down the list. But even 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:19.600 like the Jetsons and the flint Stones, which were not 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:22.679 on Saturday Morning, What what about you, Dean The Saturday 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:26.640 before Saturday Morning cartoons, My older brother and I would 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:30.080 wake up early then, and they would show reruns of 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:35.680 different Strokes before cartoons started, all right, and that, For 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:40.600 whatever reason, we loved watching the reruns of different Strokes. 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:46.320 What's up, willis what you're talking about? Willis the line. 0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:48.440 It's been so long. I knew the Willis part. The 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:50.720 rest of it I did not get right. I don't 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:53.520 know if you'll remember this or not. I believe it 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:57.440 was on Channel two in southern California on Sunday mornings. 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:02.480 There was a guy rowing a fake robot into a studio. 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:06.840 He was an artist, and he drew pictures of Popeye 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:11.800 and he hosted Popeye cartoons. I don't remember that. Kids 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:16.160 would send in mantle to him. They called it like squiggles, 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:18.679 and they would do little shapes and stuff, and then 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:21.560 he would draw a Popeye scene out of the kids 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:24.080 art that they would send into him. It was like 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:27.720 a Captain Kangaroo type of kind of Yeah. So this 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:33.439 guy hosted those Sunday cartoons, which included George George George 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:38.680 of the Jungle uh and and speed Racer. We didn't 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:42.680 have a lot of channels back then, No, we we didn't. Yeah, 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:45.000 and it sucks when you ditched school and you had 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:46.760 to watch TV because he couldn't go to school, and 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:50.800 you'd watched like Bob Bob Ross, you know, painting or 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:52.960 something like that. But I thought when you were describing 0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:54.440 the show originally, I thought you were gonna say The 0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:58.720 poor Man. Remember the poor had a TV show that 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:01.680 came a little later for us. He was a radio 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:03.800 guy at k Rock in l A for years and 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:07.200 created love Line and I think he sued everybody over that. 0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:09.040 I don't know if he ever won those lawsuits. I'm 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:10.880 not sure how that played out. And the other show, 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:13.440 which I don't know if you'd remember this, and maybe 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:14.960 you don't even know who I'm talking about, there was 0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:19.520 a Wally. They guy named Wally George that hosted a show. 0:20:19.680 --> 0:20:23.240 It was like a political show. It was the funniest 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:26.240 thing because he did a He did a show on 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:27.879 the weekends where you have guests on. It was like 0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:30.800 a late night talk show, kind of a Morton Downey 0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:33.280 Junior type. That's an outdated reference, but it was a 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:38.960 confrontational political type show. But during the week he would 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:41.560 do I think it was a half hour show in 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:46.280 the afternoon, and it was the perfect time Danny, where 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:49.040 all of us middle school school kids would get out 0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:52.520 of school and many of us would run home because 0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:58.119 he took phone calls, and we would do phony phone calls. 0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:02.000 We would prank call Wally George. And the reason we 0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:05.920 would do it not not to say we wouldn't do that, 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:09.399 but we would goof on him and he'd gets so upset, nanny, 0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:14.040 and he'd hang he'd hang up and start lecturing the 0:21:14.160 --> 0:21:15.760 person that would call in, and so that would just 0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:19.639 inspire hundreds of other kids to call in and bust 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:22.840 his chops and it was hilarious. We would laugh our assid. 0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:25.359 We talked about that at school the next thing. It's like, dude, 0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:27.639 you the one that called, And I'm sure we weren't 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:29.520 the only school that was doing that. And a bunch 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:35.120 of junior high school kids just harassing Wally George this play. Yeah, 0:21:35.200 --> 0:21:37.960 years ago, I remember that as well, So that is awesome. 0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:41.240 And running home from school, that reminds me. My older 0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:43.920 brother and I used to run home from the bus 0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:46.840 stop because we didn't want to miss the afternoon sports center. 0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:52.760 Oh yes, yeah, that's right, that was Musty TV. Yeah, 0:21:52.760 --> 0:21:55.440 I wanted to see the highlights. We wanted to see 0:21:55.520 --> 0:21:57.880 what was going on. And I remember the day Al 0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:01.560 Davis drafted Bo Jackson and it was a story on 0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:03.960 Sports Center and we looked at each other and we're like, 0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:07.240 do you think you would play football? We were so excited, 0:22:07.359 --> 0:22:09.800 and of course the rest is history. But yeah, man, 0:22:09.880 --> 0:22:13.760 that was like our portal into the sports world. Was 0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:17.720 that afternoon edition of Sports Center? Yeah, and it was 0:22:17.920 --> 0:22:19.920 evening on the East Coast, but for us it was 0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:24.119 was it four o'clock with four pm? Yeah? Four pm? 0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:28.200 I remember that. And I always love the trade rumors 0:22:28.240 --> 0:22:32.080 and Peter Gammons, you know, given the inside information on that, 0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:34.480 You're like, oh, I'm connected now, Gammons is giving me 0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:37.640 the scoop. I got the inside skinny now because Game 0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:39.920 has told me what's going on. The funny thing about 0:22:39.960 --> 0:22:42.439 that is, as an adult, Gammon's ripped me on Twitter, 0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:46.200 which is you're talking about going full circle Danny as 0:22:46.320 --> 0:22:49.600 I when when show Hey Otani started at the beginning 0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:52.480 of his career with the Angels, the first couple of 0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:55.440 months did not go so well for show Hey, and 0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:59.399 I pointed that out, and Gammons was, I rate is 0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:03.480 far ras that I because something I had said kind 0:23:03.520 --> 0:23:06.840 of went viral and Gamon saw it and and he 0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:09.640 actually we we follow each other. It was a long 0:23:09.760 --> 0:23:13.000 story anyway. That's like a badge of honor. That would 0:23:13.000 --> 0:23:16.280 be like if Todd Bridges ripped me on Twitter exactly 0:23:16.880 --> 0:23:23.399 different strokes, exactly. Uh. And Neo wraps up the email says, ps, scumbag. 0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:26.600 Justin and Cincinnati should only be allowed back on your 0:23:26.680 --> 0:23:29.480 live show when Deshaun Watson is back on the field. 0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:36.040 Terrible flop job on his part, the China James style. Well, yeah, 0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:39.880 Justin embarrassed himself and he has to pay the price. 0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:42.520 I gave him the opportunity, Neil, you know this, and 0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:44.320 the fans of the show that are listening you might 0:23:44.359 --> 0:23:48.000 know this as well. I gave Justin the opportunity for 0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:50.639 an appeal. We would do it in the court of 0:23:50.760 --> 0:23:54.560 Mallard on air, and he could appeal his punishment. He 0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:57.000
