Speaker 1: Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of
Speaker 1: the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse, the Clearinghouse of hot takes,
Speaker 1: break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben
Speaker 1: Maller starts right now in the air, everywhere in the bag.
Speaker 1: That's what this is all about. Welcome in a brain
Speaker 1: new addition to the Fifth Hour with Ben Mallard and
Speaker 1: Danny G Radio, and we are here for you as
Speaker 1: a public service, eight days a week, eight days a week,
Speaker 1: we bring it. I know that's very impressive with Danny G.
Speaker 1: Good weekend so are with the great Brent Musburger on
Speaker 1: Friday and the tales of Mallard and Danny G on Saturday.
Speaker 1: And now we are ready to dive right in to
Speaker 1: the mail back. Are you prepared? It's been a great
Speaker 1: weekend so far. As a producer for FSR, we always
Speaker 1: say this to the talent when we're going into the
Speaker 1: last hour of a good show. We tell them, great
Speaker 1: show so far, last hour, don't suck it up. Now
Speaker 1: exactly exactly, you must finish the race. If you're leading
Speaker 1: the New York Marathon at twenty mile mark, you have
Speaker 1: not finished the race. You still have to finish the race.
Speaker 1: You can't. You can't declare victory before the race is finished.
Speaker 1: The eighth inning of a baseball game with the rival
Speaker 1: and you're winning five to three, you can't choke it away. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you want to win. You want to finish this
Speaker 1: because then the crowd will go wild, everyone will be excited.
Speaker 1: The proper way to start a mailbag, There's only one
Speaker 1: way to start a mailbag, and that's our buddy, the
Speaker 1: great Ohio Al. Strike up the band, it's bag. All right,
Speaker 1: thank you, Al, And let's get to it here. I
Speaker 1: got mail, Yeah, I got mail. Yeah, you're excited. So
Speaker 1: we begin with a question from blind Emmett, the Seahawks
Speaker 1: fan in Olympia, Washington. He's about to start college at
Speaker 1: Washington State. Good luck, Emmett, dominate Washington State. You'll probably
Speaker 1: have ladies all over you and get your attention and
Speaker 1: all that. You'd be very popular. But don't forget about us, Emmett.
Speaker 1: He says, this question is for Danny g because you
Speaker 1: already answered it. If there was a spider are in
Speaker 1: your car, like a big one, would you call your
Speaker 1: wife for the other car. So I heard this story
Speaker 1: from Coope off the air when he came in late
Speaker 1: early Monday morning. So I'm guessing that he told the
Speaker 1: story on the air, and you guys all teased him,
Speaker 1: uh correct. Now, Coop showed up about fifteen twenty minutes late.
Speaker 1: I forget. I didn't like write it down, but he
Speaker 1: wasn't there when he was supposed to be there. And
Speaker 1: he usually cuts it pretty close anyway. He goes at
Speaker 1: the very last second, so he doesn't leave himself a
Speaker 1: lot of room. But he showed up uh late, and
Speaker 1: then explained that there was a spider he spotted in
Speaker 1: his car. He got the E B G B S.
Speaker 1: He's got a rack neophobia, and so he pulled over
Speaker 1: in the parking lot and demanded his bride to be.
Speaker 1: He's not married yet, but he's demand his wife to
Speaker 1: be take her car and then switch cars. My chick
Speaker 1: would lie and never let me hear the end of
Speaker 1: it if I told her to come relieve me of
Speaker 1: a spider? Are you kidding me? I have to go
Speaker 1: help her with spiders. She screams when she sees one,
Speaker 1: and I look at it, I'm like, babe, come on,
Speaker 1: that's one of the big spiders that eats the bugs.
Speaker 1: Spider's Benham never really scared me all that much, except
Speaker 1: for the black widow. When I see a huge black widow, Okay,
Speaker 1: I get it. Average in your house, up in a corner.
Speaker 1: Spider that is not gonna do anything to a human.
Speaker 1: Uh No. And it's funny because my stepdad, he was
Speaker 1: a huge guy, former offensive lineman in high school. He
Speaker 1: was one of those guys where he loved to try
Speaker 1: to intimidate people with his size. But whenever he would
Speaker 1: see a spider, he would scream like an eight year
Speaker 1: old girl? What about a nine year old girl? It
Speaker 1: was awesome, but it was also very emasculating because I
Speaker 1: remember my mom giving him a lot of ship about that,
Speaker 1: and he was embarrassed by it. A spider wouldn't scare
Speaker 1: me like that. Maybe a snake. There was a snake
Speaker 1: coming through the vent in the car. Okay, then I
Speaker 1: would call somebody a spider. No. I would try to
Speaker 1: just beat the ship out of that thing until it
Speaker 1: was dead. And I gotta point out that the marketing
Speaker 1: campaign for the Black Widow is wonderful. Like I'm the
Speaker 1: same way with the Black Widow. But if you go
Speaker 1: on the internet and type in deadly spiders, the Black
Speaker 1: Widow is really low on the list. Actually, that brown recluse. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's like there's a bunch of spiders that are more
Speaker 1: trouble to human beings. Nobody mentions those names because when
Speaker 1: the legend becomes the fact, you go with the legend.
Speaker 1: It's the legend of Liberty Valance, and so the or
Speaker 1: the man who shot Liberty Valance, and so the legend
Speaker 1: is the Black Widow, and you forget all the other
Speaker 1: terrible spiders, and anybody brings those up, you're like, come,
Speaker 1: but no, those those other ones are worse in the
Speaker 1: black Wadow. It's kind of like dinosaurs. What if I
Speaker 1: asked you, Danny, what is the most famous dinosaur? That's right, exactly,
Speaker 1: t Rex. Because of marketing, people know t Rex, but
Speaker 1: there were a ton of other dinosaurs, but t Rex
Speaker 1: is the most famous dinosaur. Yeah. Why did we all
Speaker 1: have to drink milk at the dinner table? Yeah? Why
Speaker 1: is that? Danny? Exactly? And and breakfast cereal like the whole.
Speaker 1: In fact, the entire slogan one of the great marketing
Speaker 1: success stories is breakfast is the most important meal of
Speaker 1: the day. Bullshit. But they had to sell I think
Speaker 1: it was Kellogg's if I remember correctly, they had to
Speaker 1: sell breakfast cereal. And for many many years, people for breakfast.
Speaker 1: You know what they would eat, Danny, They would eat
Speaker 1: leftovers from the night before, if they had steak or whatever.
Speaker 1: But that slogan or whatever like pasta. But Dr John
Speaker 1: Harvey Kelly log the guy behind Kellogg's, It was his
Speaker 1: marketing slogan that breakfast is the most important meal of
Speaker 1: the day. And there are people to this day that
Speaker 1: are convinced that is the case, when it was just
Speaker 1: something that a guy who needed to sell sereal came
Speaker 1: up with. Anyway, getting carried away here next, you learn
Speaker 1: something new every week on this shows all Right, Chris
Speaker 1: and Marray Cocoa Iowa has a hodgepodge of questions. He says,
Speaker 1: don't you get aggravated when you are asked to donate
Speaker 1: money to charity outside a billion dollar corporation? Uh store?
Speaker 1: That one of the stories like about Walmart, I want
Speaker 1: to ask them how much the owners and CEO gave first.
Speaker 1: It annoys me to know and oh yeah, I'm right
Speaker 1: there with you, Chris. You know my thoughts on charity,
Speaker 1: and you know I I am. I'm not saying you
Speaker 1: shouldn't be charitable, should be charitable, but uh, the when
Speaker 1: the big companies are asking for donations, I get a
Speaker 1: little uncomfortable. And the usually what they do is like,
Speaker 1: would you like to donate a dollar to so and see?
Speaker 1: Do you want to round up? Yeah? Like not with you, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: My answer is always no. My answer is always know
Speaker 1: and I like this, if I want to give that money,
Speaker 1: I will make sure I give the money. And my
Speaker 1: wife and I we do, uh donate somebody, but we
Speaker 1: don't promote it. We don't announce that that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: Rather take that cents from rounding up and send it
Speaker 1: directly to St. Jude's Hospital exactly. And you really have
Speaker 1: to do your homework. I have been fortunate over the
Speaker 1: years we had submitted profits that used to be one
Speaker 1: of the sports books. They would take a profit, they'd
Speaker 1: have a contest and then they donate thousands of dollars
Speaker 1: to charity in the name whatever it was. I forget
Speaker 1: how much, but it was a good amount of money
Speaker 1: in the name of our show. And so what I
Speaker 1: would do is I would always I would spend a
Speaker 1: lot of time trying to find out which charities actually which.
Speaker 1: My big thing is cancer. I lost my mom to
Speaker 1: breast cancer, so I I always would go to the
Speaker 1: cancer charity. But a lot of them use weasel terms. Uh,
Speaker 1: they use awareness. I don't give a shit about awareness.
Speaker 1: I think people know about cancer. So what I want
Speaker 1: is the money that goes to charity that that goes
Speaker 1: to research. Rapp research exactly. That's gonna help future generations
Speaker 1: where we're long dead and gone. And so, uh, there's
Speaker 1: a place in New York that does cancer a research.
Speaker 1: I forget the name off the top of my head,
Speaker 1: but they they're really good for example. But but yeah,
Speaker 1: to answer your question, Chris, that annoys me. Uh, Danny,
Speaker 1: you agree with me on that, right, we're both all.
Speaker 1: He also says, best ride you went on at an
Speaker 1: amusement park as a kid or an adult? I don't
Speaker 1: know the best the one I love and I still
Speaker 1: even as an adults. Kind of embarrassing to say Pirates
Speaker 1: of the Caribbean, Like I go to Disney and I
Speaker 1: don't go there very often. But I flashed back to,
Speaker 1: like when I was a little fat kid and I
Speaker 1: get on Pirates of the ca of Me and and
Speaker 1: I loved it. It was cool. It was always I
Speaker 1: go to disney Land, be really hot, and it was
Speaker 1: always really cold, and there was you know, not the water,
Speaker 1: and it was just just neat. But it was a
Speaker 1: lot different back then Pirates of the Caribbean because there
Speaker 1: were guys chasing women and it was not politically correct.
Speaker 1: The Wolkesters hadn't gotten to to Disney at that point,
Speaker 1: and so they did things a little differently. What about you, Danny,
Speaker 1: I love the Pirates of the Caribbean because of that smell.
Speaker 1: It's that water, right, It's the smell of that sitting water. Yes.
Speaker 1: It's crazy how certain smells can trigger childhood memories, and
Speaker 1: for me, that's one of them because as a little kid,
Speaker 1: I was only maybe three years old the first time
Speaker 1: my mom brought me into Disneyland, but I remember because
Speaker 1: of that smells so distinctive to this day, when I
Speaker 1: walk into that ride, all of a sudden, I flashed
Speaker 1: back to the first time my mom brought me into
Speaker 1: that park. And it's also one of those things, as
Speaker 1: I remember back where you thought through the eyes of
Speaker 1: a child. First of all, you thought you were going
Speaker 1: to a different world. I did. I was like, well,
Speaker 1: we're going under water, We're going down. You have to
Speaker 1: go down a couple of dropsy and so, oh my god.
Speaker 1: And as a kid, I was like, these look like
Speaker 1: real people. When you get to the lagoon too, after
Speaker 1: the drop, Yeah, and the fake bombs are going off
Speaker 1: in the water. Yes, as a kid, that was real.
Speaker 1: All of that that was happening was real. You're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm in a war zone and I
Speaker 1: want to boat. And they did a great job the
Speaker 1: way they had the ceiling looked like the sky. All
Speaker 1: of that. As a kid, it fooled you. You're right.
Speaker 1: And remember the fat guy that would be sitting on
Speaker 1: the bridge drinking the bottle of whatever, you know, look
Speaker 1: at that. Oh my god, there's a big fat guy
Speaker 1: up there. And I was like, oh man, but that
Speaker 1: it's life for me. It's great. Uh. Chris and America.
Speaker 1: The last question says, is it okay to use the
Speaker 1: handicap stall when the rest of the bathroom is empty,
Speaker 1: It has so much more room. Yeah, Jesus. Yes, if
Speaker 1: it's empty, it's there for somebody who's handy, handicapped. People
Speaker 1: will say, hey, don't be a douchebag, don't use it.
Speaker 1: But I gotta tell you, Danny, I use it. I
Speaker 1: use the handicap stall. I do sometimes too, Ben if
Speaker 1: the other stalls are too small, it's too claustrophobic. Can't relax.
Speaker 1: No poop comes out. If you can't relax, you gotta
Speaker 1: relax your your spincter. Uh. He says goal Raiders. Chris,
Speaker 1: he's a fe like them already. And as you heard
Speaker 1: in the interview, I hope you heard it, Chris and
Speaker 1: Danny you heard this. Uh. Brent says he's still got
Speaker 1: he's got Raider season tickets. Yeah, you go to all
Speaker 1: the Raider games and all that. And he's got the
Speaker 1: VIC and stuff that he does in Vegas. But he's
Speaker 1: he's still a Raider fan, he said. Not doing the
Speaker 1: play by play anymore. Corey from Minnesota writes, and he says,
Speaker 1: have you ever taken psychedelics? He wants to know Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers spawned this question. Yes, No, I have never taken
Speaker 1: the mushrooms or any of that. Uh, Danny have you
Speaker 1: ever dabbled in that world? Have you were gone down
Speaker 1: that road? Not purposely? Uh. The The only thing I
Speaker 1: could think of is I was at a recording studio
Speaker 1: in my twenties and they were all smoking there. That's
Speaker 1: a normal thing at a recording studio. Let's just call
Speaker 1: it coop because our listeners will know what that is.
Speaker 1: So in the recording studio, we're outside and they're smoking coupe,
Speaker 1: and I felt really odd, though I was like, well,
Speaker 1: this is not the normal feeling. In about a half
Speaker 1: hour later, my world was spinning. The only I think
Speaker 1: I could compare it to is when you get really drunk,
Speaker 1: you're holding on for dear life because your world is
Speaker 1: just rotating. And so I don't know if they sprinkled,
Speaker 1: has She's or something on top of that. But from
Speaker 1: that point on, Ben whenever I would go to a
Speaker 1: recording studio like that because I worked in the hip
Speaker 1: hop world, when somebody offered a piece pipe, I was like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: that's all right. I'm good. Do you see any goblins
Speaker 1: like hobgoblins and you try to hide under a table
Speaker 1: and no, no, nothing like that. But I just remember
Speaker 1: I was outside of the studio, and my whole world
Speaker 1: was rotating. So that's the only thing I mean, I
Speaker 1: have never I would not do mushrooms. I've never done
Speaker 1: any hard drugs, never cocaine. I'm on drugs right now. Man.
Speaker 1: You know, we grew up in the len Bias era
Speaker 1: where we were just scared to death, like we thought,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I could have an allergic reaction to
Speaker 1: drugs and die. Yeah, and I had to double whammy.
Speaker 1: I had a Jewish mother and I also len Bias
Speaker 1: and those guys and it wasn't just lenn By. There
Speaker 1: were other people, famous people who weren't maybe in sports
Speaker 1: we dropped dead because they did the wrong thing. But
Speaker 1: that stuff still goes on today with the fentanyl and
Speaker 1: and and it's terrible. These kids had a buddy of
Speaker 1: mine in radio whose son, uh died because somebody put
Speaker 1: some fentan al on something he wasn't you know, whatever
Speaker 1: weed or whatever it was, and so he ended up
Speaker 1: overdosing and passing away. It's it sucks, man. You can't
Speaker 1: trust people you don't know, Yeah, for sure. Next up
Speaker 1: on the mail bag, see your Aenie Mini miney Mo.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Neil from the real Miami, he says,
Speaker 1: deer dynamic, dynamic dual. I have been dabbling in YouTube
Speaker 1: documentaries and I saw one on Adam West nineteen sixty
Speaker 1: six Batman, and he says, you two have a lot
Speaker 1: in common. He was a radi you guy, big fan
Speaker 1: of Hawaii where he was recruited out of Hollywood because
Speaker 1: of his slick, seductive voice, where he worked with William
Speaker 1: Shatner who got him a huge boost like you, and
Speaker 1: he got a huge Warner Brothers contract like you. He yeah, right,
Speaker 1: But anyways, I am a huge fan of the show.
Speaker 1: This show the real Neil or Neil from the real
Speaker 1: Miami says rather uh, he says, a big fan of
Speaker 1: the show. And I have a sentimental value as this
Speaker 1: was the one and only show I got that was
Speaker 1: exposed to as a in a refugee camp when my
Speaker 1: family and I escaped from Ukraine, the former Soviet Union.
Speaker 1: But pity party apart, here's the question, Well, wow, I
Speaker 1: know you've told that you've given us details Neil about
Speaker 1: your life experience, but I am fascinated by that You've
Speaker 1: lived that life and you've done something that not not
Speaker 1: many have been able to accomplish and you're living a
Speaker 1: great life in Miami. You're a baller in South Florida.
Speaker 1: He says, what childhood show do you? And uh, I know,
Speaker 1: my Danny g still keeping your heart and why mm hmm. Okay.
Speaker 1: So another sentimental question, Danny that we can answer here.
Speaker 1: And it's Sunday or Saturday, excuse me, Saturday Morning cartoons.
Speaker 1: Game changer now in terms of sports, this weekend baseball,
Speaker 1: oh nice, this week Oh god, I and oh I
Speaker 1: could not wait for the for this and that in
Speaker 1: l a well, you know, it's growing up. It led
Speaker 1: into the Game of the Week on NBC, the game
Speaker 1: of look the Toronto Blue Jays and the Detroit Tigers
Speaker 1: or matched up whatever it might be, and I loved
Speaker 1: and but that was at a time we didn't get
Speaker 1: exposed to the other teams and the other sports in
Speaker 1: the sports world. And so those are a couple from me.
Speaker 1: Any of the any of the Saturday Morning cartoons, Fat Albert,
Speaker 1: g I, Joe, you go down the list. But even
Speaker 1: like the Jetsons and the flint Stones, which were not
Speaker 1: on Saturday Morning, What what about you, Dean The Saturday
Speaker 1: before Saturday Morning cartoons, My older brother and I would
Speaker 1: wake up early then, and they would show reruns of
Speaker 1: different Strokes before cartoons started, all right, and that, For
Speaker 1: whatever reason, we loved watching the reruns of different Strokes.
Speaker 1: What's up, willis what you're talking about? Willis the line.
Speaker 1: It's been so long. I knew the Willis part. The
Speaker 1: rest of it I did not get right. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you'll remember this or not. I believe it
Speaker 1: was on Channel two in southern California on Sunday mornings.
Speaker 1: There was a guy rowing a fake robot into a studio.
Speaker 1: He was an artist, and he drew pictures of Popeye
Speaker 1: and he hosted Popeye cartoons. I don't remember that. Kids
Speaker 1: would send in mantle to him. They called it like squiggles,
Speaker 1: and they would do little shapes and stuff, and then
Speaker 1: he would draw a Popeye scene out of the kids
Speaker 1: art that they would send into him. It was like
Speaker 1: a Captain Kangaroo type of kind of Yeah. So this
Speaker 1: guy hosted those Sunday cartoons, which included George George George
Speaker 1: of the Jungle uh and and speed Racer. We didn't
Speaker 1: have a lot of channels back then, No, we we didn't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it sucks when you ditched school and you had
Speaker 1: to watch TV because he couldn't go to school, and
Speaker 1: you'd watched like Bob Bob Ross, you know, painting or
Speaker 1: something like that. But I thought when you were describing
Speaker 1: the show originally, I thought you were gonna say The
Speaker 1: poor Man. Remember the poor had a TV show that
Speaker 1: came a little later for us. He was a radio
Speaker 1: guy at k Rock in l A for years and
Speaker 1: created love Line and I think he sued everybody over that.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he ever won those lawsuits. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure how that played out. And the other show,
Speaker 1: which I don't know if you'd remember this, and maybe
Speaker 1: you don't even know who I'm talking about, there was
Speaker 1: a Wally. They guy named Wally George that hosted a show.
Speaker 1: It was like a political show. It was the funniest
Speaker 1: thing because he did a He did a show on
Speaker 1: the weekends where you have guests on. It was like
Speaker 1: a late night talk show, kind of a Morton Downey
Speaker 1: Junior type. That's an outdated reference, but it was a
Speaker 1: confrontational political type show. But during the week he would
Speaker 1: do I think it was a half hour show in
Speaker 1: the afternoon, and it was the perfect time Danny, where
Speaker 1: all of us middle school school kids would get out
Speaker 1: of school and many of us would run home because
Speaker 1: he took phone calls, and we would do phony phone calls.
Speaker 1: We would prank call Wally George. And the reason we
Speaker 1: would do it not not to say we wouldn't do that,
Speaker 1: but we would goof on him and he'd gets so upset, nanny,
Speaker 1: and he'd hang he'd hang up and start lecturing the
Speaker 1: person that would call in, and so that would just
Speaker 1: inspire hundreds of other kids to call in and bust
Speaker 1: his chops and it was hilarious. We would laugh our assid.
Speaker 1: We talked about that at school the next thing. It's like, dude,
Speaker 1: you the one that called, And I'm sure we weren't
Speaker 1: the only school that was doing that. And a bunch
Speaker 1: of junior high school kids just harassing Wally George this play. Yeah,
Speaker 1: years ago, I remember that as well, So that is awesome.
Speaker 1: And running home from school, that reminds me. My older
Speaker 1: brother and I used to run home from the bus
Speaker 1: stop because we didn't want to miss the afternoon sports center.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, yeah, that's right, that was Musty TV. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wanted to see the highlights. We wanted to see
Speaker 1: what was going on. And I remember the day Al
Speaker 1: Davis drafted Bo Jackson and it was a story on
Speaker 1: Sports Center and we looked at each other and we're like,
Speaker 1: do you think you would play football? We were so excited,
Speaker 1: and of course the rest is history. But yeah, man,
Speaker 1: that was like our portal into the sports world. Was
Speaker 1: that afternoon edition of Sports Center? Yeah, and it was
Speaker 1: evening on the East Coast, but for us it was
Speaker 1: was it four o'clock with four pm? Yeah? Four pm?
Speaker 1: I remember that. And I always love the trade rumors
Speaker 1: and Peter Gammons, you know, given the inside information on that,
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, I'm connected now, Gammons is giving me
Speaker 1: the scoop. I got the inside skinny now because Game
Speaker 1: has told me what's going on. The funny thing about
Speaker 1: that is, as an adult, Gammon's ripped me on Twitter,
Speaker 1: which is you're talking about going full circle Danny as
Speaker 1: I when when show Hey Otani started at the beginning
Speaker 1: of his career with the Angels, the first couple of
Speaker 1: months did not go so well for show Hey, and
Speaker 1: I pointed that out, and Gammons was, I rate is
Speaker 1: far ras that I because something I had said kind
Speaker 1: of went viral and Gamon saw it and and he
Speaker 1: actually we we follow each other. It was a long
Speaker 1: story anyway. That's like a badge of honor. That would
Speaker 1: be like if Todd Bridges ripped me on Twitter exactly
Speaker 1: different strokes, exactly. Uh. And Neo wraps up the email says, ps, scumbag.
Speaker 1: Justin and Cincinnati should only be allowed back on your
Speaker 1: live show when Deshaun Watson is back on the field.
Speaker 1: Terrible flop job on his part, the China James style. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: Justin embarrassed himself and he has to pay the price.
Speaker 1: I gave him the opportunity, Neil, you know this, and
Speaker 1: the fans of the show that are listening you might
Speaker 1: know this as well. I gave Justin the opportunity for
Speaker 1: an appeal. We would do it in the court of
Speaker 1: Mallard on air, and he could appeal his punishment. He
Speaker 1: chose not to do that. He's willing to accept his
Speaker 1: six month ban from Games. I don't know. You know,
Speaker 1: he's always been the kind of guy band who owns things.
Speaker 1: Even when he's goofing around, he'll own it. So if
Speaker 1: he didn't own it, I don't know if there's anything
Speaker 1: there it No, no, he owned it. He did it.
Speaker 1: He he was the Manchurian candidate. He followed the Eddie
Speaker 1: gave the sign and Justin followed along. And it was horrible,
Speaker 1: like Trump's house being rated. That's that's actually the sound
Speaker 1: of Eddie when he went through the plan. What would
Speaker 1: I just put when he just played there? All right,
Speaker 1: let's see al right. Next up is Carlos and Houston.
Speaker 1: He says, Ben, what's the origin story of the game
Speaker 1: magazine drop? It's one of my favorite drops on the show.
Speaker 1: You pay me five thousand dollars, I'll endorse a game magazine.
Speaker 1: You were way ahead of your time. Yes, I was.
Speaker 1: I was woke before woke with woke. It's a great point, Carlos,
Speaker 1: So I to be honest, I don't remember the context.
Speaker 1: It was years ago. Was Jake Moarner was my engineer,
Speaker 1: and I was ranting about something on the weekends, and
Speaker 1: I if I remember correctly, and I probably don't remember correctly,
Speaker 1: but it was like I said, you know, I would
Speaker 1: do this before something else I didn't, you know, for
Speaker 1: you pay me whatever, and I endorse a game magazine.
Speaker 1: And of course, now who wouldn't endorse a game magazine?
Speaker 1: But but, but thank you Carlos. I'm glad you enjoy
Speaker 1: that and some of the other edited drops that were thrown. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he says, what the what the f happened to sports Center?
Speaker 1: Or speaking of Sports Center, Danny, when and why did
Speaker 1: it get so crappy? Let's go to our sports sports
Speaker 1: Center expert Danny G Radio for more developing story. Danny,
Speaker 1: your thoughts on why Sports Center is like a hot turd? Well,
Speaker 1: there used to be this amazing chemistry between the two
Speaker 1: of Sports Center. Of course, the most famous, right, Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick and his sidekick Keith Oberman back in the day,
Speaker 1: who's now part of the I Heart Family. Right, I
Speaker 1: heard that promo running. There were a couple other teams
Speaker 1: like that where the two guys had that synergy and
Speaker 1: that magic on air, and we couldn't wait to tune
Speaker 1: in and see those two guys. And all they did,
Speaker 1: Ben was have fun and report the sports stories. That's
Speaker 1: all they did. Somewhere along the lines, Sports Center started
Speaker 1: to kind of go woke with a lot of their stories.
Speaker 1: They felt like they needed to be the change that
Speaker 1: they think America needed. Some viewers are going to change
Speaker 1: their viewing habits, that's just the bottom line. And I
Speaker 1: think that that started to happen with ESPN as a whole,
Speaker 1: and that also affected Sports Center, as you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's a great lesson and we've we've seen it
Speaker 1: in all sports. And I they won't say it on
Speaker 1: the record, they'll never admit it on the record, but
Speaker 1: I've talked to people in the NBA in particular, and
Speaker 1: I love the NBA and I love talking about the NBA,
Speaker 1: but I get more crapp Danny when I talk about
Speaker 1: the NBA. You shouldn't do that, you know, all these
Speaker 1: idiots with the China thing and all that. But the
Speaker 1: NBA absolutely shot themselves in the foot with in with
Speaker 1: the slogans on the court and the uniform and all that.
Speaker 1: And they assumed arrogantly that people maybe they'll stop watching
Speaker 1: for a little bit and but they'll come back, you know.
Speaker 1: But they haven't come back. And and so the NBA
Speaker 1: was sermonizing and evangelizing and shouting it from the pulpit,
Speaker 1: telling people that they're bad people, they need to do
Speaker 1: this that, and basically admonishing the consumer. And a number
Speaker 1: of people said f you and haven't come back. But
Speaker 1: as far as Sports Center in ESPN. I think the
Speaker 1: same concept as you said applies there that at least
Speaker 1: have Jamal Hill. That's where they got off the tracks. Now, Ben,
Speaker 1: they've reeled it in because ESPN's latest president saw what
Speaker 1: we're talking about and he was like, all right, Remember
Speaker 1: they put out that famous memo to all their employees saying,
Speaker 1: let's try to get back to sports, and so they
Speaker 1: learned from that, but they took a hit from it
Speaker 1: as well. So there's just viewers that I don't think
Speaker 1: we'll ever go back to it. Yeah, no, it's true.
Speaker 1: And then the people that they lost, many of them
Speaker 1: were the diehard Sports center loyalists. Where does sports and
Speaker 1: religion and state and all that mixed together. I have
Speaker 1: a huge pass by Q. Lebron can say whatever he
Speaker 1: wants after a game. I don't have to follow him
Speaker 1: on social media. I don't have to agree with his
Speaker 1: social opinions. But I am a fan of watching him
Speaker 1: play basketball. And so that's where I feel like with sports,
Speaker 1: it's an escape from the rest of the world. And
Speaker 1: so if I am a Lebron fan on the court,
Speaker 1: at least I just want to watch him play basketball. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's the thing that they finally realized. And it's
Speaker 1: very long, you know, very long winded. If I'm the
Speaker 1: athlete and I have the means, I have the money
Speaker 1: and the celebrity, what I would try to do just
Speaker 1: my humble opinion, but I would try to go into
Speaker 1: the community and meet with leaders, use my money and
Speaker 1: fame if I needed to to bring sides together. Um,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to do it right in the middle
Speaker 1: of the game or what people are tuning into to
Speaker 1: be entertained. I would do it on my own time
Speaker 1: in the community. Yeah. And no thy customer, right, no,
Speaker 1: thy customer, And that's important why I'm moving him. Uh.
Speaker 1: Next up is ozzywas uh Southern Cross Western Australia right soon,
Speaker 1: he says, Benn and Danny Gy, As you both have
Speaker 1: said with the Mallarmobile and the Danny G Rocket, I
Speaker 1: too recently had an altercation with my WA's mobile as
Speaker 1: a kangaroo decided to jump into the side of it
Speaker 1: and do a bit of damage. Maybe this should be
Speaker 1: for Danny G's Animal podcast. Well, yeah, we gotta get
Speaker 1: that going, Danny Animal Thunderdome podcast. He says. My question is, though,
Speaker 1: do you guys have an encounter with a wild animal
Speaker 1: while driving. Have you had that encounter or is there
Speaker 1: anything in your neck of the woods that could do
Speaker 1: some damage? I do believe I tagged you on Twitter
Speaker 1: when it happened, as I was listening to your show
Speaker 1: when the Kangaroo did its business and I love the podcast. Well,
Speaker 1: Ozzy was listen, I I hope you heard. You probably
Speaker 1: didn't because you were like blown away by the kangaroo.
Speaker 1: But we actually talked about that on the live air,
Speaker 1: as Helmetman would say, and that was amazing. That was
Speaker 1: the amount of damage Danny, that this kangaroo did to
Speaker 1: pour Ozzy Wise, they're from Western Australia, what a what
Speaker 1: a debuggle? There's really I'm trying to think like where
Speaker 1: we live, there's bears and things like that, and we
Speaker 1: don't have crocodiles here. We don't have to worry about gators,
Speaker 1: so there's none of that. My runnings with animals, I've
Speaker 1: i've I had a rabbit I killed because it jumped
Speaker 1: in front of the car. And our main issue, I
Speaker 1: would say, Danny, driving the highways and byways of California
Speaker 1: is projectiles that people drop off their cars that caused damage.
Speaker 1: But have you had any run ins or anything, Danny
Speaker 1: that pop into your head. There, No, you're right. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you're in a lane on a freeway in southern California
Speaker 1: and those rocks will come shooting up at your windshield
Speaker 1: from those trucks carrying the gravel. Uh. That's as hairy
Speaker 1: as it gets where we live, because we don't have,
Speaker 1: you know, deer running in front of us where we're at. Um.
Speaker 1: I guess the only thing I could think of off
Speaker 1: the top of my head is that when I lived
Speaker 1: in Santa Maria, California, I was running a Pismo Beach
Speaker 1: radio station on the coast and I was backing out
Speaker 1: of my driveway one day. I get out of the
Speaker 1: car and looked, I ran over a snake. I was yeah,
Speaker 1: because I was in an area where the condos were.
Speaker 1: Where I lived, there were a lot of fields and
Speaker 1: some rolling green grass and some dry grass. Um, so
Speaker 1: there were some snakes back there on the hiking trail
Speaker 1: and I ran over one of them. Ben that that
Speaker 1: was like for me a smile because I don't like snakes.
Speaker 1: So I was like, take that sucker. Did you grab
Speaker 1: the dead snake and hold it up as a trophy?
Speaker 1: And I did. I twirled it around over my head. Okay, Caroline,
Speaker 1: I raised it up for South Katalaka. That's the only
Speaker 1: animal that I've ever ran over. Okay. I do recall
Speaker 1: I was in Pennsylvania with my younger brother. We were
Speaker 1: driving through that. We drove all the way from Philly
Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh, but we stopped off in what was the
Speaker 1: It was an old Civil War town, Gettysburg, famous Gettysburg address,
Speaker 1: and so there were tons of deer like I remember
Speaker 1: deer running in front of the car, like, well, this
Speaker 1: is something I don't get. I don't get in California.
Speaker 1: Actually was just not totally true because going to to uh,
Speaker 1: what's the National Park I like to go to with
Speaker 1: the the big trees there COI yeah, there are dear
Speaker 1: that rome when you're coming down the hill from Sequoia.
Speaker 1: So everyone saw, but not not in the hustle and
Speaker 1: bustle of the city. All right, thank you, Azzy was
Speaker 1: and thank you for listening. I appreciate that international guy.
Speaker 1: We this is an international show Nanny in Australia all
Speaker 1: over the world. Mike from Fulton writes in he says,
Speaker 1: I'm still somewhat of a recent addition to the Mallard militia,
Speaker 1: and last week you brought up that some long time
Speaker 1: fans of the show are bitter about the airtime I've
Speaker 1: been getting. With that in Mark, I thought i'd just
Speaker 1: tell you which of your celebrity fans have been welcoming
Speaker 1: and which ones haven't. Just because I was the new guy,
Speaker 1: Mike says. He points out that Chaine in Des Moines,
Speaker 1: the late night drug tester, and Justin and Cincinnati have
Speaker 1: been great, while Mr Nice Guy Justin Cooper and Alfie
Speaker 1: alien O Pineer have been nothing but rude to me.
Speaker 1: Mike says, Mike, is do you ever worry about your
Speaker 1: more rabid fans like alf bullying away new contributors. Well,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say alf per se, but Mike, as you know,
Speaker 1: and I want to know your story. Maybe next week, Mike,
Speaker 1: you can tell me your story. You have become a
Speaker 1: rabid fan of our show, like all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: You have become a die hard supporter the last couple
Speaker 1: of months. But you're you're you've been around a Why
Speaker 1: why all of a sudden? I always wonder how guys
Speaker 1: fall into the show, like Mike from Fullerton, But we
Speaker 1: have had cases where listeners have been chased away because
Speaker 1: there's a lot of competition for attention. And the greatest
Speaker 1: example that was Ernie the Great Old Pineer who got attacked.
Speaker 1: In fact, Alf was part of that onslaught Ernie the
Speaker 1: Great Old Pinter was the He was had Ernie as
Speaker 1: his avatar from Burton Ernie, and he got a lot
Speaker 1: of attention on the show. He was in the spotlight
Speaker 1: and some of the other customers, the other groupies of
Speaker 1: the show were very upset. They wanted brevity when it
Speaker 1: comes to Ernie the graad o Piner, and they attacked
Speaker 1: him and he actually quit the show. So it does happen.
Speaker 1: It does does happen, and we we want to can
Speaker 1: we all get along? Right? Can we all get along?
Speaker 1: It's like the damn rally courts in high school. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's there's a lot of drama. It doesn't need
Speaker 1: to be a lot of drama, but there's a lot
Speaker 1: of draw I got mail, yea, I got mail, yea.
Speaker 1: Speak of the devil and he shall appear. Pierre from
Speaker 1: the Commonwealth Rights and he says, this is more of
Speaker 1: an apology than a question. I'd like to apologize to
Speaker 1: the great Danny G from my question about self serve
Speaker 1: vending machines a couple of weeks ago. I feel partially
Speaker 1: responsible for his Pinkberry screw job, but not to the
Speaker 1: point of restitution. While I do feel bad, Pear says,
Speaker 1: I do feel bad that Danny G got taken to
Speaker 1: the cleaners. I cannot reimburse him because as of yet,
Speaker 1: I have not been able to cash a single one
Speaker 1: of these fs are Twitter contributor checks, very funny, like
Speaker 1: ten dollars lighter in the pocket from that Pinkberry machine.
Speaker 1: He says. My question did Danny G, if not already
Speaker 1: answered back on Saturday, is did all of the cards
Speaker 1: that him and his TINDERNI put in the machine get charged?
Speaker 1: I know he mentioned four cards total and a five
Speaker 1: dollar bill, so the total heist would have been twenty
Speaker 1: five dollars if my Mallard math is correct. That signed
Speaker 1: Pierre from the Commonwealth. So Danny give us the inside
Speaker 1: skinny spilled the beans. No, So three of the four
Speaker 1: cards that we put into the machine, they just said
Speaker 1: um canceled, transaction canceled with an X. Only one time
Speaker 1: did it say processing, and that was my Dodger debit card,
Speaker 1: and that did charge five dollars, and then the five
Speaker 1: dollar bill obviously got snaked, so out ten dollars. The
Speaker 1: other cards were not charged, so stand down. Yeah, everything's okay, Pierre,
Speaker 1: it's well, not okay. You're out ten bucks. But yeah,
Speaker 1: but dude, I'm shook because that's like a quart of
Speaker 1: gas I gonna bought. Yes, yeah, it's like, oh, gas
Speaker 1: prices are down, No, they're they're so expensive. There's still
Speaker 1: much more than we were at a year ago or
Speaker 1: two years ago. This is how shitty everything has been
Speaker 1: with inflation and the cost of living. When my Tinderoni says,
Speaker 1: oh my god, look at that gas station, it's only
Speaker 1: five forty nine. No, that's not a good deal. No,
Speaker 1: you woant have crapped your pants a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: If gas got up to five exactly, that gas should
Speaker 1: be three dollars of gallons with that guy should be
Speaker 1: even like when you eat somewhere really really expensive and
Speaker 1: then the next day you go to a normal place
Speaker 1: and you think that those prices are so low. It's
Speaker 1: a mind trick. Yeah, perspective. Yeah, yeah, alright. Next up
Speaker 1: is Tammy in Montana. She says, hey, men of the
Speaker 1: fifth hour. I want to give recognition to the people
Speaker 1: sending an emails for the mail bag. They are always great, Well,
Speaker 1: don't say always him anyway, Valls fan, Jimmy and I
Speaker 1: love the cuss words, so let them out. So Tammy
Speaker 1: would like to see us use a lot of profanity
Speaker 1: on the podcast about we've decided to cut back on that.
Speaker 1: We we did dabble in bad words, but we made
Speaker 1: a editorial decision Danny that it's probably in our best
Speaker 1: interest to not go down that road. And and it's
Speaker 1: an homage to guess who who used to who used
Speaker 1: to bleep the words kind of bleep the word, but
Speaker 1: you could still hear the word. Oh, Jim, Jim Healy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a tribute to heally, Jim Healey, a
Speaker 1: great radio broad cast from before most people were alive.
Speaker 1: And I was a little kid when he got off
Speaker 1: the radio. But Jim when he went off the radio,
Speaker 1: but Jim would he would play bad words. But he
Speaker 1: put the beep in there, so you thought maybe it
Speaker 1: was beat. But he put it in after the word,
Speaker 1: kind of a liddle of the word. And Ben explained
Speaker 1: that on a podcast almost a year ago, and ever
Speaker 1: since I've been doing it that way. Uh and Tammy
Speaker 1: says he wrote an all caps so this is important, Danny.
Speaker 1: Tammy says, I require the nickname roll Call. So without
Speaker 1: further a dude day is and what a woman wants.
Speaker 1: A woman gets most. I just got done giving her
Speaker 1: props on last weekend's podcast, and now she's gonna do this, Danny.
Speaker 1: She wrote in all caps. Okay, all caps, So I
Speaker 1: am known as Baron, the Baron of Balderdash, Big gall Bladder,

Speaker 1: can attest to that. Benny Brightside, Manity of Insanity, Mark
Speaker 1: Cony Mallard, wrong money line. Mallard's one of those birds
Speaker 1: going emissary of embellishment, Weeknight wind Bag, Wizard of Wacky,
Speaker 1: Slayer of Naysayers. Remember that one Danny Slayer of Naysayers
Speaker 1: that deserves an extra drop I like the extended winner,
Speaker 1: Grand Goober of gas Have, the Oligarch of Dark Tower
Speaker 1: of babel On, Honest Adoni's Nocturnal Colonel, the Underdog of Monologue,
Speaker 1: and the Holy Pope of the Slippery Slope. Yeah, quality
Speaker 1: content right there. I have other nicknames if you want,
Speaker 1: Danny have and say. She says she wants the the
Speaker 1: entire nicknames. I think Tammy did enough damage. All right,
Speaker 1: Sunday and mail back, Tammy says, was one of the best.
Speaker 1: I love the memory lane from you two and hearing
Speaker 1: the old drops question if you had no choice but
Speaker 1: to move in with an X, would you or would
Speaker 1: you sleep in a bus shelter? That's interesting, And she says, Ben,
Speaker 1: if your wife was naked and covered in ranch dressing
Speaker 1: and wanted you to off, would you Could you do that? No?
Speaker 1: I could not do that. I come on, I haven't
Speaker 1: take a shower, bath or something like that. Do not
Speaker 1: want the devil's blood, Danny? What about we get some
Speaker 1: carrot sticks and celery and you would start dipping that off? No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: not having I would if it was like she was
Speaker 1: covered in a a big thing of cool ranch to ritos,
Speaker 1: I might go there because that's just ranch flavoring. It's
Speaker 1: not actually ranch dressing. So I might go it's cool ranch.
Speaker 1: If she's covered in cool ranch de ritos, then I
Speaker 1: might go that direction. Now, Danny X or bus shelter?
Speaker 1: Which one would you pick on that? Yikes? Well, my
Speaker 1: tender only listens to this podcast. So I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: a bus shelter. Okay, that's a good choice by you.
Speaker 1: Always a good option there. And uh, I think I
Speaker 1: wouldn't go bust shelter. I think I'd pick a underpass
Speaker 1: on the four oh five freeway. I think that's where
Speaker 1: I would. I would hunker down, and Tammy says, always
Speaker 1: remember I love you and we'll defend you will. Thank you, Tammy,
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Balls Fan Jimmy rights in from big
Speaker 1: Orange Country. We gotta pick up the pace here. Time
Speaker 1: is getting past this, uh, he says, balls fan Jimmy's
Speaker 1: for both of you. Would you rather take responsibility for
Speaker 1: losing the championship or have a teammate take credit for
Speaker 1: the win when you deserved it? You'd rather be winning? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd rather win. And the people that no, no, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you see the owner of the team, So who cares
Speaker 1: if you got the credit or not. You don't know
Speaker 1: what you don't know, and you know what you know,
Speaker 1: and that only a right. Blake in Arkansas rights and
Speaker 1: thank you. Jimmy Blake in Arkansas says I have jumped
Speaker 1: up and down since day one that Deshaun Watson won't
Speaker 1: play this year. If ever, to your credit, Blake and
Speaker 1: Arkansas says, you are the only host that I have
Speaker 1: heard say you didn't think he would play in twenty
Speaker 1: two either pre NFL appeal. I was and am still shocked.
Speaker 1: He wrote in all caps, Blake did that the Brown
Speaker 1: signed him. In the real world, people have been canceled
Speaker 1: for a ship ton less. He's a bum. I am
Speaker 1: as anti cancel culture as you are. But if there
Speaker 1: ever was a damn good reason to cancel, well it's him.
Speaker 1: Does that make me a Karen? Okay? Uh? Well, Daniel
Speaker 1: have to be judging you on your Karen ability. And
Speaker 1: of course we need to change the name because Eddie's
Speaker 1: wife is named Karen, So I don't know. That's a
Speaker 1: little uncomfortable when we use the word Karen. But it's
Speaker 1: not canceling, it's putting on time out, which is okay.
Speaker 1: I got put on time out when I was a kid.
Speaker 1: You do something wrong to go to the principal's office,
Speaker 1: you go to the detention and all that, and so
Speaker 1: it's okay and you are correct, though you're talking about
Speaker 1: people get and canceled some of the some of the
Speaker 1: bull crap that has happened here. Remember the guy that
Speaker 1: did the King's grant napier. Yeah, and he said all
Speaker 1: lives matter. He got canceled for that. Uh. In fairness
Speaker 1: though a lot of people said he was a major
Speaker 1: dick squad for years leading up to that. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: that was a takedown by DeMarcus Cousins, and I was, yeah,
Speaker 1: they were, they wanted to get rid of him, but
Speaker 1: he had that jap for like thirty years in Sacramento. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that was just like getting a cranky old
Speaker 1: teacher out of their position. Yeah. Well, I I think
Speaker 1: it was ridiculous. And then there was several others that
Speaker 1: have lost the gigs because of uh, just mere words,
Speaker 1: not action that they got less. But is this guy
Speaker 1: Karen is Blake of Karen Danny No, Uh, you know
Speaker 1: the time I meant to Shawn Watson, he was super relaxed.
Speaker 1: Now it makes sense must must have had a nice massage,
Speaker 1: you know what. Bubbo had a great thought on this
Speaker 1: a couple of weekends ago when the two hosts that
Speaker 1: we were producing, we're going back and forth about the
Speaker 1: whole Deshaun Watson suspension. Bubb said, everybody keeps talking about this,
Speaker 1: but nobody's telling the truth. Deshaun Watson just dirty girls
Speaker 1: from Instagram. And those girls all saw they could get
Speaker 1: a pay day, and so they all have the same story.
Speaker 1: Now all he did was groupies from Instagram. Piece. We
Speaker 1: were we were talking at work the other day and
Speaker 1: we were trying to figure out the origin, like assuming
Speaker 1: the Watson did have this massage fetish, like this KICKI massage?
Speaker 1: Things like did it start at Clemson? Did it start
Speaker 1: in high school? Like? And and one of the guys
Speaker 1: that I don't know if they want me to give
Speaker 1: them credit, but one of the one of the people
Speaker 1: at work said, they think what happened was that Watson
Speaker 1: He's first ever massage ended with a little rub and
Speaker 1: a little uh tongue bath, and because of that, that
Speaker 1: was his thing. And so now he expects that wherever
Speaker 1: he gets a massage, and so when it doesn't happen.
Speaker 1: He's tremendously disappointed because he associates a massage with that
Speaker 1: nice fun stuff for him, you know, all right? Next
Speaker 1: up is Brianna. She says, I've been a loyal listener
Speaker 1: to the Big Ben Show for fifteen years, double lane crossing.
Speaker 1: Bob was the best assistant, and Danny G has phenomenal
Speaker 1: chemistry and talent for the radio. Wiry Ben the fifth
Speaker 1: hour has become must listen. Well, God bless you, Brianna.
Speaker 1: Here's my question. What's your favorite winery in Santa Ynez?
Speaker 1: And if you don't have a favorite, what's your top
Speaker 1: two or three choices. I've been a member of Sunstone
Speaker 1: and enjoy their wines. What region do you prefer the most? Temecula,
Speaker 1: Santa Ynez or Passo Paso roblest I, Well, I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not a wine drinker, so I'm not the guy
Speaker 1: to asked, but Danny G is the expert. I have
Speaker 1: spent of those three to Meculous near Sandy. I've spent
Speaker 1: a lot of time and it probably Impasso Robless more
Speaker 1: than any on the way up through central California. Have
Speaker 1: any advice here for our friend Brianna Danny, when you're
Speaker 1: driving through wine country, you know what, whatever catches your
Speaker 1: eye like. That's why they all try to have the
Speaker 1: best curb appeal, because there's so many to choose from.
Speaker 1: So we usually will go by, look at that one,
Speaker 1: look at how amazing that one looks, and honestly, we'll
Speaker 1: just stop at one that we didn't even read a
Speaker 1: review on just because of the way it looks. And
Speaker 1: then you go in and just do the wine tasting,
Speaker 1: get your buzz on, and then you know, go to
Speaker 1: the next one. A lot of it is just curb appeal, honestly, Well,
Speaker 1: you want to enjoy the journey. You don't want to
Speaker 1: have a desk. Let's see what it pops up along
Speaker 1: the way. I will do some quick ones here, Danny
Speaker 1: will get out on a few quick ones. Barry in
Speaker 1: Nashville says, yo yo, mob Benny. The Lions are the
Speaker 1: feature team on Hard Knocks this year. What a joke? Well,
Speaker 1: the Lions are joke. Will you be watching this season
Speaker 1: of Hard Knocks might be the only way people watch
Speaker 1: the Lions this year. No, that's not true, Barry. Everyone
Speaker 1: watches the Lions one day year Thanksgiving. One day here
Speaker 1: we all watched the Lions and and that's our our charity.
Speaker 1: I will watch Hard Knocks, but I don't watch it
Speaker 1: the night the show airs because I've got my other
Speaker 1: things to do. I usually watch it on demand on
Speaker 1: the weekends. I'm a week behind Hard Knocks. Did you
Speaker 1: see that passionate speech from that Lions player? I did,
Speaker 1: I saw I I did see that bouncing around. So
Speaker 1: this isn't not who we are. We don't have a
Speaker 1: losing record like that. It was Jamal Williams that gave
Speaker 1: that speech. I think there's a chance that he knew
Speaker 1: that he was on camera and that might be Hard Knocks.
Speaker 1: You think maybe a little bit, all right? Travis and
Speaker 1: Roseberg Oregon says he's vacationing in the Bay Area this week.
Speaker 1: Picked up a little Gara Deli chocolate along the way.
Speaker 1: How much of that goes to your pocket? Nig Okay
Speaker 1: good Tony in Seattle, says Benjamin and Danny g What
Speaker 1: is your all time most embarrassing moment. I don't know
Speaker 1: that we have time to get into that now. I've
Speaker 1: had many embarrassing moments, most of them involved the radio,
Speaker 1: although one I was at the Fox lot. I've told
Speaker 1: the store before and I sat on a chair. There
Speaker 1: was a screw that was sitting up on the side
Speaker 1: of the chair. I ripped my pants and I had
Speaker 1: to walk out of the Fox studios with all these
Speaker 1: big TV people, and I had to walk kind of
Speaker 1: out of I walked down a fire escape. I walked
Speaker 1: with my butt to the wall because my pants were
Speaker 1: ripped and you could see my underwear. It was very embarrassed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Nick and Wisconsin, says Ben and Danny g Would you
Speaker 1: rather lose your sense of taste or lose your sense
Speaker 1: of touch? I didn't lose my sense of taste and
Speaker 1: smell when I had COVID last year. And my wife
Speaker 1: gets upset because I wasn't that upset by it. She
Speaker 1: was very emotional. Oh my god, my life is. It's like,
Speaker 1: this is great. I can eat vegetables now I can't
Speaker 1: taste Bella's. Bella's got terrible breast. She's an old dog.
Speaker 1: I can I can get right in her face. It
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. I like, this is really not that bad.
Speaker 1: But I was happy when those things came back. But
Speaker 1: I didn't really mind it that much. But if it
Speaker 1: was forever, that's a tough one. Uh. And the last
Speaker 1: one Jason and Rocky Man. Virginia says, yes, guys, I
Speaker 1: am fascinated by your pending move to Burt Bank or
Speaker 1: Burt Bank that will happen in the next few years.
Speaker 1: So ask your bosses if they need any extra wires.
Speaker 1: I've got a ship ton laying around that I can
Speaker 1: ship to you. Anyways, keep killing it on the past podcast.
Speaker 1: So that's Jason and everyone else. I'm sorry if we
Speaker 1: didn't get to you great questions this week. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: was a really good meal. Ba. I think it's because
Speaker 1: I put I posted on Monday, so I think what
Speaker 1: I'll do now is I'll post on day. Oh boy,
Speaker 1: come back. No, the listeners all unleashed a beast. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: all right, Danny, we gotta get out of here. You've
Speaker 1: got places and go. I got things to do. I'll
Speaker 1: be back tonight. I know. It was away a couple
Speaker 1: of days because my brother was in town, so I
Speaker 1: had to take a couple of nights off. You know,
Speaker 1: family from New York, my my nieces. They're all pretty
Speaker 1: much grown up now, they're almost grown up, so I
Speaker 1: had to see them before they run off and live
Speaker 1: their own lives. I'll never see them again. Uh and
Speaker 1: but I'll be back tonight behind the magic microphones at Fox.
Speaker 1: And what do you have going on, Danny, Yeah, right
Speaker 1: before your first show of the week, I'll be in
Speaker 1: there having fun with Covino and Rich and then Ernie
Speaker 1: Spaniards in there with Chris Point before you get on
Speaker 1: the mic. Outstanding listen, have a great day. Thank you
Speaker 1: for supporting the podcast. Give us those reviews. Tell a
Speaker 1: friend we need. We have no budget, we have no
Speaker 1: marketing campaign, there's no billboards, there's hardly any promos running
Speaker 1: for this thing. So it really is word of mouth advertising,
Speaker 1: and it means a hell of a lot. You tell people,
Speaker 1: and you know, even if it's just one person and
Speaker 1: they they listen, that helps us out a lot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: as Ludicrous would say, word of mouth. Yeah. All right,
Speaker 1: have a great day. We'll talk to you next time.
Speaker 1: Asta pasta, I gotta murder, Gotta go.
