Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House of
Speaker 1: Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour

Speaker 1: but let's do it. Yeah. I'm completely convinced that by
Speaker 1: the time we're done, this podcast is gonna sound like this.
Speaker 1: That's what this podcast is gonna sound like and we're
Speaker 1: gonna be wishing somebody would call up and say, but anyway,
Speaker 1: all right, listen, enough of that, let's get right to it.
Speaker 1: You know, I love the Sunday podcast, the mail back podcast.
Speaker 1: So here we go back, thanks to our guy ohio
Speaker 1: Al for that, and right to the mail bag we go.
Speaker 1: These are actual questions by actual listeners like yourself that
Speaker 1: have sent the youth. That's right, we have mail. We
Speaker 1: have lots and lots and lots of that. We get
Speaker 1: so many some weeks more than others, Danny some weeks
Speaker 1: more than us. But the mailbag this week we start
Speaker 1: out with Pierre from Springfield. He says been more of
Speaker 1: an observation and less of a question. Danny G brought
Speaker 1: the heat and not rocks last Saturday. Is he jettison
Speaker 1: to the number one, number greatest sidekick in the history
Speaker 1: of the Fifth Hour podcast? Pierre says he fits right
Speaker 1: in and has unquestionably erased the sour aftertast that the
Speaker 1: listeners had from the previous trust. He said, could keep
Speaker 1: up the great work. So Pierre in Springfield a big
Speaker 1: fan of Danny G. And Danny I got so many
Speaker 1: people I've told you all weekend here, but so many
Speaker 1: people sent me messages they could not get enough of
Speaker 1: the story the way you told the story of your
Speaker 1: queen Tinderoni there and it was just wonderful. Congratulations, Danny,
Speaker 1: J wear What could I wear? You want? A lifetimes
Speaker 1: apply of nothing and an imaginary rays? Congratulations? Damn it?
Speaker 1: Did I at least get a Westinghouse flat screen TV? Yes? Yes,
Speaker 1: the round Trip to nowhere? Can you upgrade it to
Speaker 1: a usea on it? Yeah? Yeah, Well, you know, your
Speaker 1: wishes may become reality if you wish upon a star, Danny,
Speaker 1: if you wish upon a star, very kind of Pierre.
Speaker 1: They're in Springfield, mass Uh. Next up is Radioactive Ryan.
Speaker 1: There's a rule. If I don't hit one of these
Speaker 1: dumb soundbites, people get up said, what did you do that?
Speaker 1: I didn't go to sun bite? Alright, come back, it's
Speaker 1: sign from now call that is right, and so radio Active,
Speaker 1: Ryan says, Hey, Benn and Danny, I love the podcast.
Speaker 1: You guys are a dynamic duel reminiscent of Shack and Kobe.
Speaker 1: Anybody on the Clippers is a half of what Kobe
Speaker 1: Bryant is. Sorry, Ben, I'd say you were like Kauai Leonard,
Speaker 1: or she says Kawanie Leonard and Paul George. But then
Speaker 1: you'd be injured or sick all the time. Ben, you
Speaker 1: mentioned you had a story about causing a car accident
Speaker 1: at a radio remote broadcast. Hopefully it's similar to the
Speaker 1: one that Halle Berry caused when she wore a dress
Speaker 1: and the wind blew it up overhead and she was
Speaker 1: going Washington Commando. It's five star shout out from Radioactive Ryan.
Speaker 1: So I know you're taking a shot at uh Kauai
Speaker 1: and Paul George, but I mean I could take a
Speaker 1: similar shot at the Shack Kobe reference. There's something going
Speaker 1: on there that we could bring up. But I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna do that. I'm gonna be classy. Um. As far
Speaker 1: as the story involving the radio remote, I will give
Speaker 1: you a brief version of the story. So this is
Speaker 1: actually kind of amusing. I've told it a little bit.
Speaker 1: I think from time to time it comes up. So
Speaker 1: this is how I understand the story at this time.
Speaker 1: How I remember the story. So years and years ago,
Speaker 1: I was doing local radio in l A. And I
Speaker 1: did a lot of remotes for several years. I went
Speaker 1: to every dive bar UH. Saturday morning. We had a
Speaker 1: contract with Jiffy Lube, so we'd go to different Jiffy
Speaker 1: Lubes around southern California at the crack of dawn because
Speaker 1: they figured guys would go out and get their car
Speaker 1: service to Jiffy Lube on Saturday, so we had to
Speaker 1: do commercials for them, so we did commercials for them.
Speaker 1: We did it to tire stores. We went to tire stores,
Speaker 1: went to UH like lows and home depot places like that.
Speaker 1: It was insane, Like every weekend we do. We did Friday,
Speaker 1: we had Monday, Friday and Saturday remotes. Three remotes a week.
Speaker 1: Monday night football we did a remote at a restaurant.
Speaker 1: Friday we did a remote at a restaurant, and then
Speaker 1: Saturday morning we did a show from like a tire
Speaker 1: store something that. But but anyway, we had a deal
Speaker 1: with a day spa in the San Fernando Valley, not
Speaker 1: far away from where the Fox Sports radio studios are
Speaker 1: right now. And the place had a name. It's out
Speaker 1: of business now, so I guess we can we can
Speaker 1: say it. It had a name that would become toxic
Speaker 1: in American culture for many, many years the name of
Speaker 1: the day spall was called Isis Me? Oh yeah, now
Speaker 1: mind you. This was before isis became a thing, but
Speaker 1: it was called Iis Me and it was a day spot.
Speaker 1: And I went out there and I was doing some
Speaker 1: some stickila trying to get people to come down. So
Speaker 1: we had set up a broadcast table kind of in
Speaker 1: the back near the parking lot, and we were doing
Speaker 1: some broadcasting stuff and nobody showed up, right and nobody
Speaker 1: showed up. So I was really uncomfortable because you know,
Speaker 1: I was like that they paid a lot of money
Speaker 1: for me to be there. And so what we did
Speaker 1: is me and the sales guy. Uh. We we went
Speaker 1: out to the front of the establishment on Ventura Boulevard,
Speaker 1: legendary Ventura Boulevard on the corner of vent Her I
Speaker 1: forget what the cross street was, but we it was
Speaker 1: a big, you know, intersection, and so we set up
Speaker 1: the table with the megaphone on on the side. And
Speaker 1: so then I started doing like improv. I started doing like,
Speaker 1: you know, stand up comedy. As the cars were going by,
Speaker 1: I was doing stick talking to the people in the
Speaker 1: cars when they stopped the red lights, and I was
Speaker 1: getting some laughs and people were kind of into it,
Speaker 1: you know, and a few people started to kind of
Speaker 1: come over and see what we're all about. They were staring.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like, as you know, when you do
Speaker 1: a remote Danny, It's like you're at the zoo and
Speaker 1: you're in the cage and everyone's looking at you, and
Speaker 1: some people are picking their nose. A lot of people
Speaker 1: are not in those days looking at their phone as much,
Speaker 1: but they, you know, because the phone technology was different. Anyway,
Speaker 1: some people come up and have a conversation with you
Speaker 1: while you're alive on the air, talking yes, yes, that's all.
Speaker 1: That guy is always my favorite. They don't realize that anyway.
Speaker 1: So I'm doing my stick and you know, people are
Speaker 1: starting to respond to it, and we had a we
Speaker 1: had a decent turnout. And then I kept doing it
Speaker 1: and this guy I've already stopped at a red light
Speaker 1: and he was looking at me. It turned his head
Speaker 1: to me, and I was doing some you know, like
Speaker 1: crappy stand up. I'm not even a comedian. I was
Speaker 1: in some stand and the guy was so distracted by
Speaker 1: what I was saying. He leaned into the intersection. He
Speaker 1: got it on. He got it on an accident oh yeah,
Speaker 1: right in front of the place, some being uh and
Speaker 1: Bob Scott, the sales guy. We immediately we pulled up
Speaker 1: the card table, we took the megaphone away, and we
Speaker 1: got the funk out of there. We took off, man.
Speaker 1: We dattled out of that place. Man. But that was
Speaker 1: my that was my tale from the massage parlor back
Speaker 1: in the day. So now the the guy hopefully didn't
Speaker 1: know who you were, right, because he could have told
Speaker 1: the police, like, got a murder? How distracted me? Oh
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I was How am I responsible? Though
Speaker 1: I don't know. They never contacted me. So I think
Speaker 1: the statue of limitations on that run. So I think
Speaker 1: we're good now. I don't think I have to where
Speaker 1: I can come out of hiding. Now I can. I
Speaker 1: can go out and about and all that stuff. I
Speaker 1: got mail, yea, I got mail, yea. All right. Next
Speaker 1: message comes from Neil Is, a listener in Jasper, Indiana.

Speaker 1: on Who knew that our friend Neo would inspire hot
Speaker 1: talk about Jasper Indiana. Thanks to you, I don't want
Speaker 1: to go to Indiana anymore. Neil says, what are your
Speaker 1: five favorite fast food burgers at this moment? So I
Speaker 1: don't eat too much fast food. I don't need a
Speaker 1: lot anyway. I'll go first, Danny, but I've got in
Speaker 1: and out. Although the burger could be bigger, delicious, burger,
Speaker 1: but could be bigger. Five guys. I like five guys,
Speaker 1: enjoy five guys. I need them to bring the peanuts back.
Speaker 1: I'm not some kind of nut liquor here. Last time
Speaker 1: I with the five guys didn't have the peanuts. I
Speaker 1: didn't like that, the free complimentary peanuts. Uh. And then
Speaker 1: the other ones I would put on that list, like
Speaker 1: Tommy's triple double chili cheese burger I used to get
Speaker 1: back and I think it was a triple I love
Speaker 1: that with the chili fries on the side. That's a
Speaker 1: that's a cheese chili cheese burger place in l A.
Speaker 1: Have you ever been a steak in Shake? They used
Speaker 1: to be one in Burbank. I don't think it's open anymore.
Speaker 1: That somebody told me it close, I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's true or that they have a really good day.
Speaker 1: This is the garlic double steak burger thing. That's really good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was really good. Yeah. I don't think they're around,
Speaker 1: uh in that location anymore. But I've only got four
Speaker 1: I don't have and I could throw Carl's Jr. In
Speaker 1: there or something like that. But what are your five?
Speaker 1: Danny go to fast food burgers anything from Arby's on there.
Speaker 1: Uh no, no, I'll go in reverse order. Number five, alright,
Speaker 1: Number five, number five, Jack in the box. In the box,
Speaker 1: they have a buttery melt burger. They infuse butter into
Speaker 1: the burger. Wow, it's a little messy, but it is wonderful.
Speaker 1: How do they infuse butter into the burger? But they
Speaker 1: just put a slab of butter on top of the
Speaker 1: burger weather cooking. They cut a hole into the burger
Speaker 1: and then fill it with melted butter. Sounds good. Butter
Speaker 1: and meat together. Signed me up for that. Super healthy
Speaker 1: Number four. Number four Another very healthy selection from Carl's Jr.
Speaker 1: The famous Western bacon. Yes, the Western bacon cheeseburger, a
Speaker 1: staple of Carl's Junior slash Hearties. Depending on where you're
Speaker 1: at right, some of you haven't either. Number three, number
Speaker 1: three a double double at in and out. Yeah, double
Speaker 1: double in and out, in and out. That's what a
Speaker 1: hamburger is all about. And if you try to avoid hamburgers,
Speaker 1: like my tender rowning, you could get a lettuce rap
Speaker 1: version of the double double. She doesn't like the bread
Speaker 1: and tried to stay away from the bread. You can
Speaker 1: go up to the four by four. I think they
Speaker 1: won't go any higher than that anymore. Used to be
Speaker 1: able to get like an eight by eight, but I
Speaker 1: think they cut it off at four by four. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and get the fries animal style. That's a veteran in
Speaker 1: and out move. Veteran move number two, number ber two.
Speaker 1: Definitely five guys. So the softness of the bread, the
Speaker 1: juiciness of the burger, the pickles, the combination of all
Speaker 1: that together. It is like you are at one of
Speaker 1: the best barbecue weekends of your life and your friends
Speaker 1: just grilled up a masterpiece. Yeah, I agree with you.
Speaker 1: And I wanted to hate five guys because it's the
Speaker 1: East Coast in and out, and I wanted to hate it.
Speaker 1: And then I said I can't hate it. I had it,
Speaker 1: and I like this is good. I mean, I'm sold.
Speaker 1: I like it. Screw COVID. They gotta bring the peanuts back.
Speaker 1: Number one. Number one. Get a small child size even
Speaker 1: frosty chocolate. Dip your French fries in it. Great appetizer
Speaker 1: leading up to a Wendy's bacon eater. Wow, Wendy's Who
Speaker 1: saw that that isn't a huge upset? Danny nobody had
Speaker 1: Wendy's at number one. Oh yes, nobody. The box you're
Speaker 1: painting outside the lines. I'm gonna say this my very
Speaker 1: first part time job in radio, I got my very
Speaker 1: first paycheck. I went to Wendy's like a baller, little
Speaker 1: taste catch Wendy's on the right day, at the right time,
Speaker 1: and they cooked the bacon eader up to a hot perfection.
Speaker 1: I will go Dave single on a day where I
Speaker 1: want that lettuce in there for some freshness and the
Speaker 1: bacon eader when I'm craving some applewood. Now that they
Speaker 1: still have the square patties, is do they have the
Speaker 1: square patties? That's that's their trademark, with their trademark, Yeah,
Speaker 1: two square patties in there, crispy bacon, that amazing melted cheese.
Speaker 1: Catch up Mayo, And I'm also gonna make this number one.
Speaker 1: I think that's a good choice because it's available to
Speaker 1: everybody who could pretty much here this podcast. I gotta
Speaker 1: say I've had it good and bad there at Wendy's.
Speaker 1: There's been Wendy's where I go and it's like a
Speaker 1: little underwhelming, and then times where I had it and
Speaker 1: I was like oh you know said there's an angel
Speaker 1: above your head while you're eating it. The greatest Windy's
Speaker 1: meal I ever had. I was driving the spring training
Speaker 1: in Arizona and I stopped right across the California border.
Speaker 1: I forget what town it is in Arizona, but startial
Speaker 1: with a W. I remember started with a W. This
Speaker 1: big truck stop, massive truck stop. But there was a
Speaker 1: Windy's there, and I love wind Oh man, it was
Speaker 1: I was just the right combination of being hungry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they cooked it perfectly. See that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: That's my only complaint about Wendy's. Is there a little
Speaker 1: hit and miss? Yeah? No, I agree. Now not making
Speaker 1: the list, that's a very interesting list there that we
Speaker 1: do list radio or podcasting. But no, White Castle did
Speaker 1: not make the No White cast. Yeah, White Castle and
Speaker 1: I've eaten there, you know, late night, having a good
Speaker 1: time whatever. But that stuff to taste of that you
Speaker 1: when you go to the bathroom a couple of days later,
Speaker 1: it smells like White Castle's very powerful. It's very powerful.
Speaker 1: I feel like White Castle is hangover food. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's like college Tommy's is the same thing.
Speaker 1: We would go there after the club and it was yeah,
Speaker 1: it was the food to try to soak up the alcohol. Well,
Speaker 1: I would go there just to get fat. I would
Speaker 1: go there after the show at three in the morning
Speaker 1: on a Saturday, you know, Friday and Saturday, and I'd
Speaker 1: sit in the parking lot. I go through the drive through.
Speaker 1: I'd order like a triple chili cheeseburger, the big fries.
Speaker 1: I'd get a big drink, and then I'd sit in
Speaker 1: the parking lot and eat and watch all the people
Speaker 1: coming from the Hollywood clubs, stumbling down from the sunsets trip,
Speaker 1: stumbling and bumbling, and I said, boy, those people they
Speaker 1: have a life. I'm just coming back from the radio station.
Speaker 1: I got nothing going on. It was a great show though.
Speaker 1: People watching it was amazing. And fortunately my mom was
Speaker 1: always worried I was gonna get shot. I didn't a
Speaker 1: shot sitting in the parking lot at the Hollywood Tommy,
Speaker 1: so I survived. Everything was fun. I saw some really
Speaker 1: um see, uh, I don't know what has the way for.
Speaker 1: I saw stuff that probably was illegal that took place
Speaker 1: in the parking lots there, but it didn't involve me.
Speaker 1: There's that alright, let's keep it going. It is the
Speaker 1: mail bag male male male male. Mayle's right, Colma, alright.
Speaker 1: Next one is from Jennifer, our friend, Jennifer, the Lovely
Speaker 1: Jennifer and Richmond, Virginia, and she says, Hi, Mighty Ben
Speaker 1: and cheese stick, drumstick Danny g. She says, I believe
Speaker 1: we're all about the same name. So did either of
Speaker 1: you go to your twentieth high school reunion? She says
Speaker 1: I did not. Jennifer says, but traveling from Richmond, Virginia
Speaker 1: to Chattanooga, Tennessee wasn't the reason. I love the fact, Jennifer,
Speaker 1: you're from Chattanooga, the Chattanooga choo Choo choo choo. Anyway,
Speaker 1: she says, high school was simply not a fond era
Speaker 1: for me. I sure didn't want to voluntarily walk back
Speaker 1: in there. Even though I'm not the shy girl I
Speaker 1: once was. I occasionally have nightmares from those school days.
Speaker 1: I'm right there with you, Jennifer. I I've had people
Speaker 1: reach out. It's a weird thing because I'm not famous
Speaker 1: by any means, but there's some people, you know how
Speaker 1: this goes to any when they find out you're work
Speaker 1: in radio. People that are from your past, we'll come
Speaker 1: back into your life and sent your messages. And I've
Speaker 1: kind of been a douche to some of these people
Speaker 1: because I said, listen, I don't I hated high school.
Speaker 1: I could not stand high school. I couldn't wait to
Speaker 1: get out of I I changed. I went to a
Speaker 1: couple of different high schools, and part of it was
Speaker 1: because I hated high school. People were as souls to me,
Speaker 1: and uh, and so I it was just it was
Speaker 1: a nightmare. And now looking back, there's some people that
Speaker 1: are very good friends. I have a couple buddies, my
Speaker 1: gambling bunny Hunter I went to Vegas with. We were
Speaker 1: high school football teammates. And there's a couple of people
Speaker 1: I went to high school with president, but the vast
Speaker 1: majority I want nothing to do with. And uh, I
Speaker 1: don't know how their lives turned out. I assume some
Speaker 1: of them were successful, some of them happy, some of
Speaker 1: them aren't. I mean, that's just how life is. But
Speaker 1: but yeah, I don't know, Like, what's what would the
Speaker 1: point of that be to go back to like do
Speaker 1: a flex and say look at me now. I don't
Speaker 1: need to do that. Who cares? It doesn't matter where
Speaker 1: nobody's right you know here, I don't know you, Danny,
Speaker 1: did you go? I missed my ten in recent years,
Speaker 1: I did make my twenty. But I actually I was
Speaker 1: behind the turntables. I played the music for the night. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: you were probably more popular than you know. I. I
Speaker 1: was not popular. I was not I was the fat guy.
Speaker 1: I was the radio station kid. So I was the
Speaker 1: one that gave all their dedications and shoutouts and requests
Speaker 1: to We did afternoon radio their k b d G
Speaker 1: ninety point nine FM that went on to work at
Speaker 1: the big FM radio station there in the area. And
Speaker 1: so they're like, can you play the music for the reunion?
Speaker 1: Problem was they scheduled it during the sun during a
Speaker 1: heat wave. Ben, my hard drive melted. Yeah, I remember
Speaker 1: you said that your equipment got all destroyed, all destroyed.
Speaker 1: I had one of my control records on my turntable warped.
Speaker 1: I mean, I had the hardest time DJ and that
Speaker 1: gig because half my equipment got screwed up from the
Speaker 1: one and thirteen degree heat. YEA, not a good memory.
Speaker 1: I made it work. I had music playing the whole night.
Speaker 1: But it's not It's not one of those gigs I
Speaker 1: looked back fondly on because of all the hurdles I
Speaker 1: had to overcome, did they at least treat you well?
Speaker 1: Did you get around of applause and a good job DJ?
Speaker 1: The fun part of the night they did some giveaways.
Speaker 1: They had trivia from the high school, and I hosted
Speaker 1: it on the microphone and got some laughs and stuff,
Speaker 1: So that part of the night was fun. The rest
Speaker 1: of the time trying to find music that wasn't on
Speaker 1: my hard drive and that I could play from on
Speaker 1: the nineties is that was difficult because I was down
Speaker 1: to some CDs that I had burned as a backup.
Speaker 1: Thank god I had made those. Yeah, I my my
Speaker 1: twentieth high school anniversity, which is actually it's it's coming
Speaker 1: up here. But my my thing is like everyone kind
Speaker 1: of as I remember it, people were very rude to me,
Speaker 1: that kind of goofed on me. You know, I was
Speaker 1: the fat guy and that's what people are, assholes in
Speaker 1: high school. The women wouldn't get near me, uh you know,
Speaker 1: so I'm like, what a you know, what am I
Speaker 1: doing there? And as I was a dog in those
Speaker 1: days and so anyway, uh Nettle, did they know you
Speaker 1: would turn out to be a Don Juan women. Yeah exactly.
Speaker 1: But it's it's funny because I I was so quiet,
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm an introvert by nature that I
Speaker 1: run into people like what like, what are you doing
Speaker 1: in radio? You never talked? You know that kind of
Speaker 1: that kind of so that that that deal? All right?
Speaker 1: What is next year? Let's see Tammy and my Tanna
Speaker 1: Wright Sin says, Ben, when you dress up as Santa
Speaker 1: Claus and Danny Gee, when you work as a teacher,
Speaker 1: that generation will have humor, respect, and good work ethic
Speaker 1: and great sports intellect instilled in them. Well, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you, Timmy, She says, thank god, hideous Helen doesn't
Speaker 1: influence young shoulder. Now here we go, Here we go,
Speaker 1: Here we go. The battle royale continues. Tammy says, thank god,
Speaker 1: hideous Helen does not influence young children. It would be
Speaker 1: a generation of jealous, pathetic, braggadocious, unimportant stalkers. Please remind Karen,
Speaker 1: I mean Helen to drink her prune juice. Maybe if
Speaker 1: she isn't constipated, stew might get a little wow, although
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Stu is the name of her dildough.
Speaker 1: Wow Wow wow uh there isn't any isn't enough medication
Speaker 1: for a man to take to live with that, She says, Tammy,
Speaker 1: my question, if the Raiders and Rams were to cease
Speaker 1: to exist, who would you pick for your NFL team?
Speaker 1: That is from Tammy. I feel like you just threw
Speaker 1: that into the end, Tammy, that you didn't really want
Speaker 1: that you just wanted to rap Helen. I think that
Speaker 1: was your mission on this. I don't think you really
Speaker 1: had some feeling behind that question. So as as I've
Speaker 1: done in the past, I would just rotate teams every year.
Speaker 1: I did that for years on the radio. So I'd
Speaker 1: go back to that RAM. When the Rams left l A,
Speaker 1: I no longer was a Ram family. They were St. Louis,
Speaker 1: and so I just picked a different team. I had
Speaker 1: listeners vote every year. That would be anything but Danny,
Speaker 1: you have the Raiders on your but you're a Raider
Speaker 1: till the day you die, Danny, And so what would
Speaker 1: you do? You have a Raider sword tattooed on the
Speaker 1: back of my arm, but the handle of the sword
Speaker 1: is the Dodger logo, the D So it's a nod
Speaker 1: to the Dodgers and the Raiders. Um, you know, I
Speaker 1: guess because of Randall Cunningham, I would go Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so I think Ranald Cutting in Philadelphia goas,
Speaker 1: but you go Minnesota Vikings. Yeah. I got something about
Speaker 1: the unis and the time he spent there, the wide
Speaker 1: receivers they had. I guess I would lean that way.
Speaker 1: Just being a fan of football as a little kid,
Speaker 1: I I think like I used to love the pat
Speaker 1: Patriot logo, and as a kid, I always thought that
Speaker 1: was like I was squatting on the football. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was thought I was like awesome. And and then
Speaker 1: I was going through my old stuff and my parents
Speaker 1: passed away, and I saw they kept the jacket and
Speaker 1: I ought to take a picture of it, because that's
Speaker 1: the reason I love that logo. I wore that when
Speaker 1: I was a little kid. My parents weren't They weren't really.
Speaker 1: My mom was a sportsman, my dad was not a
Speaker 1: huge sports fan. But I think they just bought that
Speaker 1: because it was cheap. But I loved it. I was like,
Speaker 1: that's the coolest logo. And even now I I when
Speaker 1: I see the Patriots every once in a while to
Speaker 1: wear that old uniform, I'm like, oh, that's awesome. They're
Speaker 1: gonna bring those old helmets back in a couple of years,
Speaker 1: so that's pretty cool. All right. Next up we have here,
Speaker 1: oh Helen and speak of the devil and the devil
Speaker 1: shall up here? All right? I like these two. They're
Speaker 1: they're they're out Helen and stew from Palmetto Bay, Florida.
Speaker 1: Email says Ben and Danny G. Ben and Danny G.
Speaker 1: All right, what time stop? All right? Benn and Danny
Speaker 1: gis so glad you boys are reunited again. It feels
Speaker 1: and sounds so good. Shout out Peaches and Earth. Uh.
Speaker 1: Speaking of shout outs, a shout out to Naomi Osaka.
Speaker 1: Stop crying, you emotionally weak bitch. Uh. It writes you're
Speaker 1: twenty four years old, you made over twenty million dollars
Speaker 1: in tournament money and have a net worth of forty
Speaker 1: five million. Tape two fuzzy yellow tennis balls together, adapted
Speaker 1: to your support animal and grow a pair, sister if
Speaker 1: just for Women's History month. Wow, Helen bringing the flamethrower
Speaker 1: yet again. Ben, speaking of balls, nice nut talk this week.
Speaker 1: Question for you and Danny, have you ever been hit
Speaker 1: in the balls so hard it left you in the
Speaker 1: fetal position or worse gory details are encourage. Absolutely, this
Speaker 1: has happened to every every man. There is no man
Speaker 1: that escapes this. At some point, I recall in baseball
Speaker 1: there were a couple of instances where I slid and
Speaker 1: uh it kind of I hit the sweet spot and uh,
Speaker 1: I was feeling it couldn't get up. I had to
Speaker 1: lay down for a while. I did get hit in
Speaker 1: the that region with with the playing catch the football,
Speaker 1: and also it's I would I would compare it. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to think what's the problem. The analogy would be like,
Speaker 1: you know when you eat ice cream too fast and
Speaker 1: you think your your brains you're dying because your brain
Speaker 1: you have brain freeze. Yeah, this is nuts freeze. You
Speaker 1: think you're never going to be staying able to stand
Speaker 1: up straight again. You're always going to be the fetal position.
Speaker 1: You're never your nuts are never gonna feel right again.
Speaker 1: That's what that's like to me. But but Danny, when
Speaker 1: did it happened. I'm sure it happened multiple times. Probably
Speaker 1: did anything stand out there? Yeah, to come to mind quickly.
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, I guess I was a
Speaker 1: teenager because my little sister was the kid shouts out Ariel.
Speaker 1: She did a karate kick, she did a cobra kai
Speaker 1: on my balls, but left me just, you know, screaming
Speaker 1: for air. And I thought that I was never gonna
Speaker 1: grow up to have children. And then as an adult
Speaker 1: in the early two thousands, I got in a it
Speaker 1: wasn't a bar, it was a club, but I got
Speaker 1: in a fight outside the club defending a girl's honor
Speaker 1: and it was multiple guys and there were fists flying everywhere.
Speaker 1: One of those fists hit me in the nights. Oh no,
Speaker 1: oh man, dad to to grin and bear itt bear yah,
Speaker 1: to grin and bear something like that during a fight.
Speaker 1: It's one of the hardest things. You see boxers where
Speaker 1: they get hit like that during a match, right, and
Speaker 1: they need time out. But if you're on a street brawl,
Speaker 1: you don't get time out. No, that was bad. I
Speaker 1: stood in a shower from a good half hour after
Speaker 1: that fight, and the rest of my body was fine.
Speaker 1: I had some bumps and bruises, but the balls was
Speaker 1: where I you know, And you recommend, like if you
Speaker 1: get access to a bathtub or a spa or something
Speaker 1: like that, to go soak everything and the water helps
Speaker 1: everything feel better. But man, man, when you get hit
Speaker 1: that hard, I mean that bad feeling, Dad, that you
Speaker 1: can People can die from being hit in the nuts. Yeah.
Speaker 1: A week later, a week later, I still couldn't sit
Speaker 1: down the right way. Thank god that fist didn't hit
Speaker 1: me in the face. I didn't have any injuries to
Speaker 1: my face. I probably would have preferred that though over
Speaker 1: the notes. Yeah for sure. All right, let's keep it
Speaker 1: going here. It is the always probable. I got mail, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got mail. Yeah, back Mike from Fullarton Rights and
Speaker 1: he says, hey, great car talk last week. My dream
Speaker 1: car is a Lamborghini Diablo, which is definitely more similar
Speaker 1: to Dannygi's Ferrari than Ben who went with the grandparents
Speaker 1: motor home. That's bull crap bike. That's a freaking lie,
Speaker 1: you dope. Listen. Let me explained right now. I picked
Speaker 1: the Lincoln town Car because when I was I was
Speaker 1: on a road trip for work and they rented us
Speaker 1: a Lincoln town Car and it was the most comfortable
Speaker 1: seat I had ever said. It was a luxury automobile.
Speaker 1: I had not been in a luxury automobile at that point,
Speaker 1: and it drove great, and I I fond memories of
Speaker 1: the idea that I could drive and sit on sofa
Speaker 1: while I was driving. That's that's attractive to me. I
Speaker 1: believe I could become a professional driver. Not with the
Speaker 1: price of gas right now thanks to uh maybe our
Speaker 1: president or whatnot, but uh, I mean just I'm just
Speaker 1: pointing out that I think I could handle that. Man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I could. Could you imagine filling up an
Speaker 1: RV with gasoline right now? Oh? God, no, I feel bad.
Speaker 1: I feel so bad for the truck drivers and listen
Speaker 1: to the show, and some of them are independent trucker
Speaker 1: Joe told us the story about how much he spends
Speaker 1: every week because if you're an independent driver, you you
Speaker 1: gotta pay for your own gas. God bless vers. And
Speaker 1: the thing that really funning gets me going on this, okay,
Speaker 1: and and and makes me want to punch somebody is
Speaker 1: the fact that the price of oil going down does
Speaker 1: not have a direct correlation to the price of gas.
Speaker 1: But if the price of oil goes up a half
Speaker 1: a cent, they immediately raised the prices at every gas station.
Speaker 1: It's almost like they're fighting with us. It's almost like
Speaker 1: they're fighting with our mind, is what they're doing. And
Speaker 1: I have a conspiracy theory. You want to go full
Speaker 1: of Luminati here on the gas. My conspiracy theory is
Speaker 1: that this is a get back because they lost a
Speaker 1: lot of money, the oil companies in when people weren't driving,
Speaker 1: when the shutdown for for so many months took place,
Speaker 1: and they had they had too much gas. They had
Speaker 1: excess gas they because they weren't using it. So now
Speaker 1: they're using Vladimir Putin and the Ukraine as a fall guy,
Speaker 1: as a scapegoat to price gouge the men, women and
Speaker 1: children around the world. But I live in America's yeah us,
Speaker 1: I'm buying that conspiracy. I don't like it, man, Obviously,
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody likes it. I wouldn't mind it
Speaker 1: as much if it was fair. It's not. It's dirty,
Speaker 1: that is what it is. Because I get it. If
Speaker 1: you're gonna raise the barrel, the price per barrel of oil,
Speaker 1: then you raise the price of gas. But by that
Speaker 1: same token, if you lower the price per barrel of
Speaker 1: crude oil, you then have to lower the price of
Speaker 1: the gas. And they said, well, that's the price we
Speaker 1: paid for the gas, which is bullcrap. Because I know
Speaker 1: there's some some stations I love Costco. For example, Costco
Speaker 1: gas and they they go through so much gas. They
Speaker 1: don't have a big, you know, pool of gat there.
Speaker 1: They have seven eight trucks a day to go to
Speaker 1: my local Costco filling it up and stuff. So anyway, Uh,
Speaker 1: Mike also is a question, have you ever seen the
Speaker 1: movie Liar Liar? Uh? He says, did you like it?
Speaker 1: I did see it. I saw it in theaters. I
Speaker 1: remember liking it. I've not seen it since then. I
Speaker 1: have not seen the movie Liar Liars since I was
Speaker 1: much younger. Baseball stuff. Yeah, but I remember joining the
Speaker 1: movie What About You, Danny? Did you did you see?
Speaker 1: Obviously did. But we also saw it in the theater
Speaker 1: because at the time Mr Carey was one of the
Speaker 1: biggest comedian actors of our generation. Wasn't that the number
Speaker 1: one movie when it came out? I think it was.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong, I think you're right about that, And
Speaker 1: pretty much he had that long stretch where anything he
Speaker 1: touched turned to gold. So when he had a big
Speaker 1: movie come out like that, we all went to the
Speaker 1: theater to see it, and I've seen reruns of it
Speaker 1: on TV. Coop could thank me for some of those
Speaker 1: residual checks to Ching Chi Ching Chi ching already one
Speaker 1: cents at a time for Coop. Yeah right right in
Speaker 1: the bank, right there, my producer, justin Cooper. A piece
Speaker 1: of food that was laying around for twelve hours. We
Speaker 1: think it might have been nibbled on by a rat.
Speaker 1: Pay the man, Pay the man. Well, hey, if you
Speaker 1: got thirty something sense every time a movie, are you
Speaker 1: take that right? Because that's gonna air for forever and
Speaker 1: ever and ever. We should get residuals off our podcasts
Speaker 1: in our live radio shows after network. I completely agree.
Speaker 1: If we got half a cent for every day, all
Speaker 1: I want is half a cent, I'll split it with you.
Speaker 1: Half a cent, half a sent Oh yeah, wonderful. That
Speaker 1: would be Fred in Spring Texas. Right sinceas Hi, what
Speaker 1: do you think of Daylight Savings? Any strong feelings pro work?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I saw this story this week. I don't
Speaker 1: think we brought it up on the Raider Shop, but
Speaker 1: I love this right yeah, I think it was the Senate.
Speaker 1: It's gotta it's gotta get one more vote. And then,
Speaker 1: as I understand it, we're still gonna have to change
Speaker 1: time in November. But next year, once we change time,
Speaker 1: go back to daylight savings time in in March. That'll
Speaker 1: be it. That'll be that'll be the only time. March
Speaker 1: fifte breaking news. Senate passes a bill to make daylight
Speaker 1: savings time permanent, meaning America will never have to change
Speaker 1: its clock again if it passes the House. All right,
Speaker 1: So this is something we can very polarizing, Danny, as
Speaker 1: you know, politically everyone is fighting with everyone. Uh political bullshit,
Speaker 1: it is. But this is something we can all come together,
Speaker 1: bipartisan support, bipartisan support. This is one issue every man
Speaker 1: win a child, Team Blue, team read can say that's
Speaker 1: the way to do it. Congratulations. Yeah, that is it
Speaker 1: right there, make that happen. And it's one of those
Speaker 1: things I wish my old man was around because I
Speaker 1: used to get in conversations about this kind of thing
Speaker 1: every year. My dad would bitch about the time change
Speaker 1: and how you hated it and the whole thing. And
Speaker 1: I always said, Uh, it's someday that it's someday it's
Speaker 1: gonna it's gonna change. And yeah, I feel like we're
Speaker 1: very close to that. It's it's so the fact that
Speaker 1: they originally supposed he did it for the farmers and
Speaker 1: the farming community is like, no, we don't need it,
Speaker 1: we don't need the time changed to accommodate the farming industry.
Speaker 1: We're good. And yet they still kept it every single year.
Speaker 1: It was a hot button topic for Clay Travis. He
Speaker 1: would rant and rant for a good week after it
Speaker 1: happened or before it happened, and he said he would
Speaker 1: run to be the next president on a two platform deal,
Speaker 1: that that would get changed where it never changed again,
Speaker 1: and that the day after the super Bowl was a
Speaker 1: national holiday. Talk. Yeah, well that's a good that And
Speaker 1: I would would Tom Arnold be as vice president probably
Speaker 1: not after this would probably not would not be his
Speaker 1: vice Yeah, probably not. Uh yeah, I Will Caine would
Speaker 1: be as vices That's right, Wilkaine would be his his
Speaker 1: running mate there along. So I am pro great question, Fred.
Speaker 1: I love the idea of just not having to worry
Speaker 1: about It's an archaic thing. They said they gotta wait
Speaker 1: a year because so many things that are automatic in
Speaker 1: the I think it was the airline industry. I think
Speaker 1: that is what I read, that they have to wait
Speaker 1: for all that to change so they don't they don't
Speaker 1: have planes falling out of this guy and all that
Speaker 1: all right, what is next year? It's the mail Bag,
Speaker 1: the Extended Dance remix. The mail Bag, Anthony writes and
Speaker 1: says online books such as DraftKings, Fan Duel, etcetera barring
Speaker 1: advantage players for minimal winning streaks profits. Uh. The CEO
Speaker 1: says they don't want those players. They just want people
Speaker 1: betting for fun. Got to have an opinion on that.
Speaker 1: Let us hear it, Ben Anthony, I didn't see that.
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised by it. Uh. It's the same concept
Speaker 1: that the casino has. It's a dirty secret in the
Speaker 1: gambling world. If you're actually good at gambling, they don't
Speaker 1: want your gambling. Uh. And there's a there's a guy,
Speaker 1: what's the guy's named Billy Walker, Walter or something like that.
Speaker 1: What's the guys you got went to jail for a
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, the guy was friends with Phil Mickelson.
Speaker 1: Michelson ratting him out. He went to jail. But he
Speaker 1: is the had to be the most successful sports gambler.
Speaker 1: But he's actually banned from the casinos. He's not allowed
Speaker 1: to bet. So what this cat has to do is
Speaker 1: he has to hire people and get them to put
Speaker 1: the bets in for him. As runner. Yes, Billy Walters,
Speaker 1: the interesting guy. Can we get him on the podcast.
Speaker 1: I'd love to get him on the podcast at some point.
Speaker 1: That would be fun to get him on. But I
Speaker 1: read a book about this, and it was fascinating me
Speaker 1: that that they said, yeah, you know, the sports books,
Speaker 1: if you start winning, they'll cut down the max you
Speaker 1: can bet because they're not in the business of losing. Man,
Speaker 1: the sports book loves the guy that comes in there
Speaker 1: wearing a Tom Brady jersey and uh and just puts
Speaker 1: down five grand on the Buccaneers because he's a Tom
Speaker 1: Brady fan. And that's what you do when you're Tom
Speaker 1: Brady fan, and you just do it and you're happy
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. But if you come in there
Speaker 1: and you actually have knowledge and you actually win, then
Speaker 1: it becomes problematic. Then they're like, well, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: you smart alec here, what's going on? And and so
Speaker 1: that's I'm not surprised, but I'm I'm not, I don't know, disappointed,
Speaker 1: not I don't think that's the emotion. But if you
Speaker 1: look at it, they want the dumb money. Uh, they're
Speaker 1: in the in a money making position, and the way
Speaker 1: gambling works, you can't actually win money betting on sports,
Speaker 1: but you have to be disciplined, you have to have
Speaker 1: money management. It also helps if you have inside information.
Speaker 1: For example, the story this week I mentioned on the
Speaker 1: radio show. It's a great story about the books in Vegas.
Speaker 1: Red Flag went up. A couple of people walked in
Speaker 1: playing the speculation game, walked into the casinos, made massive
Speaker 1: bets on Tampa Bay to win the Super Bowl. Two
Speaker 1: days later, Tom Brady announces he's coming back, and now
Speaker 1: they're calling for an investigation. Some Martha Stewart's, yeah, some
Speaker 1: insider trading. Actually like like, it makes sense. The timing
Speaker 1: on it makes sense that Brady likely knew long before
Speaker 1: the announcement that he was coming back, and he let
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers know, so they didn't make a deal for
Speaker 1: a different quarterback, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. And and so somebody
Speaker 1: walked in there who had intel, we assume, right, and
Speaker 1: somebody that that knew has a sharp which the sports
Speaker 1: books hate the term sharp, and so made some made
Speaker 1: some bets. And now they're concerned because there's liability if
Speaker 1: Tampa wins the Super Bowl, and they want the square gamble.
Speaker 1: That's the gambler they want scared the square gambler that
Speaker 1: doesn't really know a lot and just bets on a
Speaker 1: motion and all that stuff. And has there been any
Speaker 1: update about that ball that as you know, I've not
Speaker 1: heard anything on that. I did hear the invoice didn't
Speaker 1: come out till Monday, and so Sunday it's where Saturday
Speaker 1: the auction ended, the guy won the football. Sunday Brady
Speaker 1: retires Monday. Uh pay the man good luck on that?
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, alright? What is next year? There a few more?
Speaker 1: And what do we have? These are actual questions by
Speaker 1: actual listeners who have sent questions. If you want to
Speaker 1: send a question into a future edition of the Mailbag,
Speaker 1: every Tuesday in the morning, I post on the show
Speaker 1: Facebook page Ben Maller show a link you know, change
Speaker 1: your life in amazing ways, unless it doesn't. But you
Speaker 1: can go in there and post the question right there,
Speaker 1: or you can privately email a question Real fifth Hour
Speaker 1: at gmail dot com, Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com,
Speaker 1: and I will possibly use your question on on a
Speaker 1: future edition. John in McKinney, Texas, Right, got mail, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got mail. Yeah, baseball is back. Do you like
Speaker 1: the movies being made? Pre spring or the moves being
Speaker 1: made pre spring training. Do you have a favorite to
Speaker 1: win winn't a surprise for the playoffs. That's a hard
Speaker 1: old baseball question, John. Obviously, I like the Dodgers getting
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman. I love all the transactions. It's been a
Speaker 1: lot of fun for those of us that do talk
Speaker 1: radio at night. It's been wonderful. Every day. It's been really,
Speaker 1: I would say the greatest two weeks, back to back,
Speaker 1: belly to belly that we've had in a long time
Speaker 1: in sports radio, with all the rampant speculation, and it's
Speaker 1: just been a chef's kiss is what it's been. It's
Speaker 1: been magnificent, magnificent. So but the team in the American League,
Speaker 1: I'm looking over those Toronto blue Jays and that's a
Speaker 1: pretty good baseball team in Toronto. Yeah, and I'm looking
Speaker 1: at like a Dodger blue Jay type thing. The Mets.
Speaker 1: The Mets are the only team in the nationally I
Speaker 1: look at them like, oh, holy crap, the Mets. But
Speaker 1: I have a feeling by the end of the year,
Speaker 1: Jacob de Brahm and Max Shure's it will be in
Speaker 1: the infirmary, So it'll be a much different look by
Speaker 1: then as well. Clayton Kershall, he'll be hurt by the
Speaker 1: end of the year. But wait a second. In the
Speaker 1: American League, you're not taking the Oakland Days. That's a
Speaker 1: fine team in the Oakland Athletics. I think they can
Speaker 1: win the Pacific Coast League. But I'm pumped there. You
Speaker 1: all right, let's see here? Who else do we have?
Speaker 1: Keep going here? Come back? It's from now Jeff from
Speaker 1: Parts Unknown right since says, will you ever see dick
Speaker 1: In Dayton play live? I would love to see the
Speaker 1: dick start perform live with the Strummers and the Kettering
Speaker 1: Banjo Society. I don't know. Um, We'll have to see
Speaker 1: what the future holds. I've I've been saying once this
Speaker 1: COVID stuff is completely gone, which I feel like it
Speaker 1: is for the most part, I want to get back
Speaker 1: to doing Mallard meet and greets. And at the very
Speaker 1: top of my list, I have Minnesota and Cincinnati, and
Speaker 1: if I come to Incinnati for a weekend, I gotta
Speaker 1: find a way either to get Dick In Daton to
Speaker 1: come down and see me, or I gotta go see him.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna try to make that happen in the
Speaker 1: next couple of years. I already have a trip. Unfortunately
Speaker 1: this year planned it's gonna eat a lot of my
Speaker 1: time off. I usually save it all for the end
Speaker 1: of the year. But I can do like a long weekend.
Speaker 1: It's like one day, right that that would work day.
Speaker 1: I can take a a Thursday into a Friday off,
Speaker 1: fly on a Thursday, do something on a Friday, come
Speaker 1: back on a Saturday. I could do something like that, right,
Speaker 1: that would work. Now did he officially retire? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: he retired at the end of last year. So it's
Speaker 1: got affected your show as there's been too much Dick
Speaker 1: on your live show or not enough. Well we're getting
Speaker 1: dick blocked as we're doing a cock block. But but
Speaker 1: you know, no, Dick, you didn't call as much because
Speaker 1: it was part of his routine when he get up
Speaker 1: to go to work at Low's. We he would start
Speaker 1: his day by calling our show. But now that he
Speaker 1: doesn't have to go to work, he's not there as
Speaker 1: he still checks in every so off, he still checks in.
Speaker 1: You're very special. Yeah, we tell him that and then
Speaker 1: he still calls, and so that's good. I have an
Speaker 1: old caller question for you, all right, who is the
Speaker 1: old p one who used to call from his truck
Speaker 1: in Arizona because he didn't want to wake his He
Speaker 1: got in trouble. Oh yeah, Cliff the weather Man, the
Speaker 1: weather Man. Yes, yes, what happened to Cliff? Cliff? I
Speaker 1: think he had some some health problems and he just
Speaker 1: couldn't couldn't listen live. Every once in a while send
Speaker 1: me an email. But it was the greatest thing. Cliff
Speaker 1: so wanted to be part of the show. I love
Speaker 1: Cliff the weather Man. I hope he's still around. And
Speaker 1: Cliff and he wanted to be but the calls were
Speaker 1: kind of you know, they were like C or D
Speaker 1: level call. So what we did is we made him
Speaker 1: the weather man and he would be Cliff the weather
Speaker 1: And this was a big deal. Like Cliff studied the
Speaker 1: weather and he'd be out. He lived in Arizona. He
Speaker 1: still does, I think, but if he's still around. But
Speaker 1: he lived in Flagstaff, which is the northern part of Arizona.
Speaker 1: Not the people think of Arizona. They think of Phoenix
Speaker 1: and the heart of the desert. But in Flagstaff, you know,
Speaker 1: it's the mountains, it gets cold, it's not it's not
Speaker 1: like you think of Phoenix, and so he'd studied the
Speaker 1: forecast and he'd call up from his truck. Sometimes you'd
Speaker 1: be on hold for a long time and they'd be
Speaker 1: like where wolves walking around and critters and creatures and
Speaker 1: all that, and yeah, it was. That was a long
Speaker 1: time ago. A good caller he turned into a good
Speaker 1: call It was a bit on the show, it was.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of fun some dedicated listeners. Yeah, for sure,
Speaker 1: for sure. And uh, let's see your page then, John
Speaker 1: in Northern Colorado, he says, have you ever been a
Speaker 1: guest in someone else's house and had to sheepestly tell
Speaker 1: them you plugged up the toilet? Now, John, that's a
Speaker 1: great question. It's never happened. I'll tell you why I
Speaker 1: do not shop in other people's houses. I am an
Speaker 1: anti shooter. In other people's house, I don't do it.
Speaker 1: I don't do it because I'm worried about them running
Speaker 1: and not having the proper toilet paper. I'm worried about,
Speaker 1: as you reference, John, stuffing up the toilet. So I
Speaker 1: want no part of that. So I will hold my bowels, Okay,
Speaker 1: I will. I will hold onto that bow until I
Speaker 1: go to a public restroom or my own restroom. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, Danny, I do not want to be that guy.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be in there. And I'm doing this,
Speaker 1: and this is going on, starting an engine on it
Speaker 1: on a car. You're doing it all wrong. All you
Speaker 1: have to do is multiple flushes, and that doesn't always
Speaker 1: work during the during the movement. Let me tell you something,
Speaker 1: I haven't traumatized. When I was a kid, my parents,
Speaker 1: my mom and dad were out doing something. So I'm
Speaker 1: home alone with my brother, my younger brother. Oh oh no,
Speaker 1: and I'm in the in the upstairs bathroom and I
Speaker 1: I dropped the deuce, all right, big old deuce, big
Speaker 1: Benny deuce. And I flushed that toilet and it's it
Speaker 1: was clocked, but I didn't have the plunge. So I
Speaker 1: did what you advised, Andy. I flushed it again, and
Speaker 1: I flushed it again, and it was like the fourth,
Speaker 1: third or fourth flush. The water comes over, the toilet
Speaker 1: comes out of the toilet, and now it's starting to run.
Speaker 1: Flush it while it's going on, not after you did
Speaker 1: the damage, like you know, halftime. You should have took
Speaker 1: a halftime. What what I did, I was in a
Speaker 1: boxing posture and I said, I want to flush in
Speaker 1: the water. I figured the pressure of the water will
Speaker 1: push the pool down, and it didn't happen. So I
Speaker 1: ended up running out of my house as a child
Speaker 1: to my neighbor's house in a panic because the entire
Speaker 1: fire bathroom floor was covered in ship water, and I
Speaker 1: was like, we gotta turn the water off to the house.
Speaker 1: And my my neighbor, my neighbor, Sharon, as she rest
Speaker 1: in peace, she died a few years ago. She's very nice.
Speaker 1: She came over and she caught me down, and she
Speaker 1: figured out a way to stop the toilet from running.
Speaker 1: But to this day, I am still traumatized by a
Speaker 1: clogged toilet. So I certainly do not go to other
Speaker 1: people's houses and clogged the toilet does not happen. So anyway,
Speaker 1: all right, that is it. Well you will put the
Speaker 1: baby to bed. Thank you all for your question. I think, uh,
Speaker 1: I don't know that. We got to Ozzy Momentum. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: wanted weed Man to come back to the show. He
Speaker 1: wants me to reach out to weed weed Man to
Speaker 1: get him, but that's not gonna happen. Weed Man's moved on.
Speaker 1: We've moved on, he says. Weed Man's lame jokes with
Speaker 1: the funniest of all time. You can reach out to
Speaker 1: him if you want Ozzy momentum. He'll probably Here's the
Speaker 1: way this goes, because I had listeners over the years
