Speaker 1: Kutbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers.
Speaker 3: In the penthouse.
Speaker 2: Wow to clearinghouse of hot takes, break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Mahller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Speaker 1: Mahler and Danny g Radio a Happy Sunday to you.
Speaker 1: Game seven in the NBA, the last game of the
Speaker 1: conference finals, the final piece to the puzzle.
Speaker 3: The two best words in all of sports.
Speaker 1: They try not to f it up. Oklahoma City at
Speaker 1: home against the Denver Nuggets. I just want a more
Speaker 1: competitive game than we got back on Friday night when
Speaker 1: the Knicks led by as many as forty one points
Speaker 1: and absolutely vaporize the Celtics. So I just want a
Speaker 1: game that's within within six points going to the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: I want a game with five minutes to go in
Speaker 1: the game. That's anyone's game. That's what I want. And
Speaker 1: let's see who does not ride the vomit comet who
Speaker 1: rises to the occasion. That would be wonderful. That's what
Speaker 1: I would like to see. Well I get that, probably
Speaker 1: not well, we probably won't get it, but I'd like
Speaker 1: I'd like that to happen. That would be very cool
Speaker 1: for a game seven to come down to the very end.
Speaker 1: It is National No Dirty Dishes Day today, so celebrate appropriately.
Speaker 1: And a fun fact on that the beginning of porcelain
Speaker 1: plates six hundred a d. Chinese porcelain plates. The Chinese
Speaker 1: started making porcelain in six hundred a d. And it
Speaker 1: wasn't until the seventeen hundreds. Seventeen oh eight the process
Speaker 1: of making pottery was discovered by some dude in Germany
Speaker 1: and that led to the creation of European pottery. So
Speaker 1: they stole it from the Chinese and they then made
Speaker 1: the European pottery and it wasn't for another one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty something years after that. The paper plate was
Speaker 1: invented in eighteen sixty seven. So just think in the
Speaker 1: Middle Ages they didn't have paper plates. And in the
Speaker 1: Middle Ages, Nanny, they didn't know they were in the
Speaker 1: Middle Ages. They just thought they were just living their life.
Speaker 1: They didn't realize it was the Middle Ages. They had
Speaker 1: no idea.
Speaker 3: You got to argue.
Speaker 4: Two paper plates one of the best inventions ever, because
Speaker 4: that's what can keep your stink dish free.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm the dishwasher. I don't mind. I do complain
Speaker 1: to my wife sometimes because I tell her when she's
Speaker 1: cooking and we split the cooking. But when she's cooking,
Speaker 1: she thinks she's a television chef. You know, on television, Danny,
Speaker 1: they don't worry about dirty dishes because someone else does
Speaker 1: the dishes. So they'll do seven to eight plates, you know,
Speaker 1: silverware up the wazoo. They don't give a crap. They
Speaker 1: don't give a crap. So the the top two dishes,
Speaker 1: little little dirty dish trivia for you, Danny.
Speaker 3: Here we go.
Speaker 1: Top two dishes Americans eat to avoid doing dishes. One
Speaker 1: of them is.
Speaker 4: Obvious, Yeah, obviously pizza because you eat it with your hands.
Speaker 1: Exactly pizza. What's number two, though, udeo hot dogs, no
Speaker 1: French fries. French fries is not followed by chicken wings, tacos,
Speaker 1: and hamburger. So those hot dog only got two percent
Speaker 1: of the vote. I don't know why one we get
Speaker 1: two percent of the vote. Egg roll got more of
Speaker 1: the vote. Egg roll Burrito's on here. Burrito makes sense?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think.
Speaker 4: I think hot dog and hamburger homemade dinners were more
Speaker 4: of a thing back in the eighties and nineties when
Speaker 4: we were kids. Nowadays, people aren't big on giving their
Speaker 4: kids hot dogs unless you're at a ballgame. People who
Speaker 4: are more into the what are the healthy, grilled, salthier items?
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you know what's in a hot dog? You
Speaker 3: want to hear how they're made? Shut up, stop ruining everything.
Speaker 1: I hate to tell you everything you eat is going
Speaker 1: to kill you. So anyway, all right, we have the
Speaker 1: mail bag, Danny, are you prepared for the mail bag?
Speaker 3: Let's go.
Speaker 5: It's this bag, all right?
Speaker 1: Thank you? Ohio.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: These are actual letters by actual listeners. If you'd like
Speaker 1: to send a letter in for a future mail bag,
Speaker 1: you can do that care of Real fifth Hour at
Speaker 1: gmail dot com. That's all letters, no numbers, Real fifth
Speaker 1: Hour at gmail dot com. That's Real fifth Hour at
Speaker 1: gmail dot com. First one is from Steve in van mccouver.
Speaker 1: It says, Hey, Ben and Danny, I'm excited for the
Speaker 1: Mallar meet and greet. Do you have any idea how
Speaker 1: many people are going to be there. No, I have
Speaker 1: no I don't know if anyone's gonna show up. I
Speaker 1: have no idea. As I always say Danny, with these
Speaker 1: Mallard meet and greets, you go in hoping a lot
Speaker 1: of people show up. You never know whether there's five people,
Speaker 1: two people, three people, fifty people, one hundred people. Whoever
Speaker 1: shows up will have a good time. We'll have fun.
Speaker 1: That's coming up in Oh my god, what do we
Speaker 1: eleven days away from the Malor meet and greet. It's
Speaker 1: on Thursday, May twenty ninth at the court Side on Main.
Speaker 1: We talked about this on the podcast. I did a
Speaker 1: little video on the Instagram and the Facebook pages of
Speaker 1: the show, so if you want to check that out
Speaker 1: on the Graham which is Ben Malor on Fox and
Speaker 1: Facebook Ben mal Show. So I have no idea how
Speaker 1: many people are gonna be there. I know I'll be there,
Speaker 1: Lorena Coop will be there. We're gonna have a great time.
Speaker 1: We'll be there from seven to ten at the court
Speaker 1: Side on Maine and Vancouver. And I want to thank
Speaker 1: Nico again for putting that together. But I really don't
Speaker 1: I have nobody. We don't have a list to any
Speaker 1: there's no RSVP. People don't sign up to show up.
Speaker 1: And even when people say they're gonna be there, like
Speaker 1: I've had a bunch of email from people say oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be there, stuff happens. You got stuff going
Speaker 1: on in your life. Sometimes you say you're gonna be somewhere,
Speaker 1: you don't show up.
Speaker 4: So just make sure you tell Lorena to bring an
Speaker 4: empty suitcase with her so she could bring all her
Speaker 4: gifts back home.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Well I'm not getting she'll get everything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got it. Without Lorena, we wouldn't get any mail
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. Next up, Tony and the Bay Right.
Speaker 3: Now, I made you a mug and pottery class.
Speaker 1: Tony the Bay says, Hey, Ben and Danny those years
Speaker 1: the Rams were in Saint Louis, were you ever a
Speaker 1: Bears fan? And if not, why the fuck not? As
Speaker 1: Tony the Bay and Danny G Radio, have you ever
Speaker 1: disowned a team? Now, Tony's a big Chicago Bears fan, Tony,
Speaker 1: I was not a Chicago Bears fan. Well, technically I
Speaker 1: was not a Bears fan. There were points I was
Speaker 1: a Bears fan because when the Rams left to go
Speaker 1: to Saint Louis what I did. My move, I'd pivoted.
Speaker 1: I said, Okay, I'm going to be a fan of
Speaker 1: no team, but I'll be a fan of every team.
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is, I will just
Speaker 1: base this off my money who I'm betting on and
Speaker 1: for that particular game, that's who I'm pulling for. So
Speaker 1: in a way, I was a Bears fan Tony, although
Speaker 1: not someone with merch and all that stuff. Now, Danny,
Speaker 1: you just experienced a few years ago the Raiders relocating.
Speaker 1: But you went to a Raider game in Vegas last year,
Speaker 1: So I'm going to assume the position that you've never
Speaker 1: left a team behind, You've never disowned a team. Is
Speaker 1: that accurate?
Speaker 3: That's accurate. Never.
Speaker 4: And the thing is, we knew Vegas was gonna be
Speaker 4: like a West Coast hub for the Raiders because how
Speaker 4: many Raider fans really lived in the city of Oakland.
Speaker 4: A ton of Raider fans all throughout the West Coast.
Speaker 4: That's why it was okay when the Raiders moved.
Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough. I was on a flight from l
Speaker 1: A to actually from the Burbank Airport to to Oakland
Speaker 1: when the Raiders, when they left LA to go back
Speaker 1: to Oakland. Yeah, I was on a Southwest flight and
Speaker 1: it was nothing but Raider fans, including the guy the
Speaker 1: at the time, he was like the most famous Raider fan,
Speaker 1: the black dude that wore the shoulder pads with the spikes.
Speaker 1: You know, the guy.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm talking about Violator.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't remember his name, but yeah, his.
Speaker 4: Name is Violator. He's still he's still. Uh he has
Speaker 4: tickets from Vegas. Yeah, he's in Vegas.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: Well I was on a plane with him and to
Speaker 1: There was a Raiders Seahawk game in Oakland at the
Speaker 1: Colisseum there, and I remember that was like, that was
Speaker 1: the guy. I remember remember other famous I guess famous
Speaker 1: Raider fans, but that was the one that was on it,
Speaker 1: so you've not just on it.
Speaker 4: There were such fun flights Bend because you could feel
Speaker 4: the excitement on the plane. It was such a game
Speaker 4: day feeling, even when you were high in the sky
Speaker 4: and a lot of a lot of the passengers were
Speaker 4: high from drinking before they even got on the plane.
Speaker 4: But I remember not only the drinking and the party
Speaker 4: atmosphere on the plane, but one guy walked on with
Speaker 4: his one carry on item and it was a Weber
Speaker 4: barbecue grill in its box.
Speaker 1: That's great.
Speaker 4: It was obviously planning on barbecuing in the you know,
Speaker 4: the Colisseum's parking lot prior to the game, even though
Speaker 4: he was flying up.
Speaker 1: Yeah. My memory of that is not only the violator
Speaker 1: guy and just nothing but raider fans, but even the
Speaker 1: flight crew at Southwest. They would get on the PA
Speaker 1: and they would in There was like rhythmic chanting on
Speaker 1: the plane. Like the people, the flight attention.
Speaker 5: Yes, they were into it.
Speaker 1: They were like, this is fun.
Speaker 5: Yeah time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 4: I remember the flight attendant would get on the intercom
Speaker 4: and lead the raids.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was pretty cool. And I'm not a raider
Speaker 1: fan or anything like that, but it was fun. It
Speaker 1: was a great environment. And then the raiders will go
Speaker 1: out and lose, but it was a fun environment. You know,
Speaker 1: people were into it.
Speaker 3: How dare you actually? Ben?
Speaker 4: I got to see the Gruden years and the rich
Speaker 4: Gannon years, so there was some winning, even though there
Speaker 4: was a lot of losing leading up to that.
Speaker 1: All right. Next up, Mark from Venice rites in and says, hey,
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny. President Trump took some shots of celebrities
Speaker 1: this week, which one is more accurate? It says Mark
Speaker 1: from Venice, I love the podcast yet, and then he says,
Speaker 1: I guess Trump called Bruce Pringsteen a dried out prune
Speaker 1: and Taylor Swift no longer hot. Uh. Yeah, that's political,
Speaker 1: mom man, that's the third rail.
Speaker 5: Mom man.
Speaker 1: Let's see here now, Taylor Swift, Danny is not my
Speaker 1: type of woman.
Speaker 5: Per se.
Speaker 1: I feel like she needs to eat more food.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's not voluptuous enough.
Speaker 1: Exactly, so she's that. I don't think she was ever
Speaker 1: really hot to me, you know, but that's a lot
Speaker 1: of people think she's beautiful and wonderful and all that.
Speaker 3: So you don't like to floss your teeth with your women.
Speaker 1: No, I want to no. Uh.
Speaker 5: And I don't know.
Speaker 1: I Bruce Springsteen. I like some of his old music,
Speaker 1: but I don't I have not seen him in a
Speaker 1: long time. I don't know he's old. How old is
Speaker 1: Bruce Springsteen?
Speaker 5: Is he in his eighties?
Speaker 1: He's got to be in his eighties.
Speaker 3: He's one hundred and five.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he probably is a dried out prune, I
Speaker 1: would think, right, because I don't know. I mean, you
Speaker 1: get old, that's what happens. You know, if you're lucky
Speaker 1: enough to get old, if you're blessed enough to get old,
Speaker 1: your kind.
Speaker 4: Of things just kind of So yeah, I know he's
Speaker 4: on a summer tour, so he's still old enough. I mean,
Speaker 4: he's still young enough, I should say, to do his thing.
Speaker 4: But good, let's look that up Springsteen.
Speaker 3: What do you guess?
Speaker 1: I think he's like eighty one.
Speaker 4: I'll go eighty one. Yeah, he's got it. He's got
Speaker 4: to be getting up there, got oh seventy five?
Speaker 1: Really? Oh man? All right, all right, take that back.
Speaker 3: I guess because he's wrinkled up, he looks older.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I love like guys like Mark and Venice, who
Speaker 1: said these like, what do you expect me to say?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I Trump's just trying to get in
Speaker 1: the headlines because he knows as you're talking about this,
Speaker 1: you're not talking about something else he's doing. So it's
Speaker 1: it's the oldest trick in the book. Tie from l
Speaker 1: Passo writes in and says, Ben, I know you had
Speaker 1: an incident years ago with Justin Bieber. Do you feel
Speaker 1: bad for the Beabes based on the story this week
Speaker 1: about him almost going broke? No, I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: give a listen the fact that Bieber's.
Speaker 4: Suldn't that your boy though? Didn't you hang with him
Speaker 4: at a Clippers game back in the day.
Speaker 1: I was a Laker game and his hoodie touched my
Speaker 1: arm justin Bieber's hoodie touched my arm. Was a Laker
Speaker 1: Rockets game at Staples and a couple of his security
Speaker 1: goons were leading him out to his front row seat
Speaker 1: at Staples Center. It was his call back then and beebes.
Speaker 1: He had a hoodie on, probably because he had just
Speaker 1: come from a freak off with Diddy and he was
Speaker 1: he was walking with his head down and the front
Speaker 1: of the cootie hit my my. It was my left arm.
Speaker 1: My Elwow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, clearly his downward spiral rubbed off on you.
Speaker 1: How dare you? I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: You've seen my paycheck, so yeah, I don't. What do
Speaker 1: you want to say?
Speaker 5: Ty? I mean?
Speaker 1: So he was almost broke. The story was he was
Speaker 1: this week day, he was almost broke, and then he
Speaker 1: sold his music catalog for two hundred million dollars. So
Speaker 1: I guess he's not broke. I guess he'll be okay.
Speaker 1: Jack from he says, Jack not in the box from
Speaker 1: Baker's Field rights in. He says, Ben, I know you're
Speaker 1: up on all the social media trends today, and I
Speaker 1: know you're a big fan of mister Beast. Jack says,
Speaker 1: from Bakersfield. Do you think mister Bee should have to
Speaker 1: pay the people of Mexico for using the mayansight to
Speaker 1: plug his candy?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 1: So, Jack, I don't know much about this. I don't
Speaker 1: do you know anything about this? Danny Soparently mister Beast

Speaker 3: And oh yeah, he even has a popular TV show.
Speaker 1: Now does he what channels it on?
Speaker 3: You have to look that up, but I know I've
Speaker 3: seen it on one of the streaming services.
Speaker 1: Okay, so this guy, Jack says, He says, mister Beast
Speaker 1: has a candy and was using a Mayan site, and
Speaker 1: now Mexico wants mister Beast to pay for using the
Speaker 1: Mayan the Mayan set, I don't.

Speaker 1: Hello, it's not on Peacock like Penny versus the Penny.
Speaker 1: Now that's no. I don't know much. I don't know
Speaker 1: much about mister beast. I know he's got a lot
Speaker 1: of money from what I've heard.
Speaker 3: So if he's got a ton of it and he
Speaker 3: gives a ton of it away.
Speaker 1: More money, more problems. Is that what the song goes?
Speaker 1: More money, more problem? So you have more money.
Speaker 4: He is the walking definition of you to spend money
Speaker 4: to make money.
Speaker 1: Okay, So what does Mexico want? I don't know what
Speaker 1: they want. I don't really about it.
Speaker 3: Jack, why you ask?
Speaker 4: And do you know that his net worth is five
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty million dollars?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 1: How how seriously? How good for him?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 1: You want to trade you out?
Speaker 5: You knew?
Speaker 1: The Overnight show, Mike and Fullerton writes and says, hey, Bendon,
Speaker 1: Danny g I've got a question. Inspired by the show's
Speaker 1: newest breakout star, Royal Flush Charlie. Charlie and Dallas, of course,
Speaker 1: is the guy that Mike is referencing. He's got Royal
Speaker 1: Flush Charlie is the nickname also the Dallas Dumper from
Speaker 1: his propensity to do the show. Call the show from
Speaker 1: the bathroom, he says, how much time do you spend
Speaker 1: on the John? Are you a get in, get out
Speaker 1: kind of guy? Or do you take your time like Charlie.
Speaker 1: Hopefully my question doesn't scare off any of the few
Speaker 1: die hard female fans of the Fifth Hour. And that
Speaker 1: is from Mike in Fullerton. Yeah, I'm getting get out guy.
Speaker 1: You know, do what you gotta do and make sure
Speaker 1: to flush flushy, flushy, very important. And then I do
Speaker 1: like the toilet. We have a high end tushy toilets
Speaker 1: Danny with the water, so that does make the toilet
Speaker 1: experience a more enjoyable experience. But yeah, I don't spend it.
Speaker 3: That sounds cold. Do you have like a temperature gauge
Speaker 3: on the water?
Speaker 1: It's room temperature water. It's fine, it's not I would
Speaker 1: want that warm. No, no, you don't want it one
Speaker 1: that would burn very important regions of the body. You
Speaker 1: want it room temperature.
Speaker 3: You want a very European of you.
Speaker 1: Listen some things they do right, relegation and water in
Speaker 1: your took us that those two things they.
Speaker 4: Do want a shower or a bath. It's for I
Speaker 4: don't want water constantly spranging. I want anything, But.
Speaker 1: No, it's not constantly spraying.
Speaker 3: Number one.
Speaker 1: Number two. You can adjust it to how you want it.
Speaker 3: What do you mean it's not constantly sprang what is
Speaker 3: it a trickle?
Speaker 1: Well, no, no, no, I'm saying, when you do what
Speaker 1: you have to do, you here.
Speaker 3: Means then it's a blast, right I know that.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, okay, see going, but how long does it?
Speaker 3: How long does it blast you?
Speaker 1: As long as you want. There's a there's this thing.
Speaker 1: You twist it and it turns the water on and
Speaker 1: it sprays right, and you took us right the dirty
Speaker 1: part and it cleans to the dirt, away the poopy.
Speaker 1: Oh man, okaymi, And then you turn the water off
Speaker 1: and then you you're supposed to make sure you do
Speaker 1: a follow up. There's one wipe to follow up.
Speaker 3: You get to go. You don't have a toddler running
Speaker 3: around your mansion obviously if you did.
Speaker 4: If you did, your bathroom would be your fortress, it
Speaker 4: would be your solace. So when I go in there,
Speaker 4: I bring my phone, make sure it's charged, and I
Speaker 4: do a lot of show prep for the Covino and
Speaker 4: Rich show.
Speaker 1: Yeah. See yeah, well if I if I had that situation,
Speaker 1: I would likely do the same thing. But I hang
Speaker 1: out with Moxy. You know. Week it's pretty much me
Speaker 1: and the dog. The wife's at work and she works
Speaker 1: at night, so's she leaves for work before I do,
Speaker 1: So I'm just kind of hanging out and whatever. You
Speaker 1: go in there, get done, move on moving the next thing.
Speaker 1: But great question, my really deep that one thing on
Speaker 1: a Sunday.
Speaker 4: Ben, you've a ball. Back in the day it was
Speaker 4: freak offs and now it's poop offs.
Speaker 1: Well, listen, baby oil is a great probably Joe from Brooklyn. Hello,
Speaker 1: Joe from Brooklyn rights and says Ben and Danny daddy
Speaker 1: g He says, I heard Ben you talking about Moxie
Speaker 1: on the show.
Speaker 5: The other day.
Speaker 1: What do you think about the story this week that
Speaker 1: one in seven dog owners would dump their partner to
Speaker 1: extend their dog's life by three years, says Joe. One
Speaker 1: of seven people are with someone they should not be with.
Speaker 1: Danny's that seems like that's what that means, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that in the new phenomenon in the past decade
Speaker 4: or so where people treat it well, probably twenty years now,
Speaker 4: if not twenty five, were people call their pets their
Speaker 4: babies and their children and they push them around in strollers.
Speaker 4: Back in the day, when Paris Hilton treated their dogs
Speaker 4: like that, people laughed. But now you see regular people
Speaker 4: on the street treating their animals that way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a little much. Yeah, I love Moxie Joe,
Speaker 1: and Moxie's my pal. And but Maxi's a dog. Maxie
Speaker 1: licks its ass, you know. I mean, what do you
Speaker 1: want me to do?
Speaker 4: I mean, Dan, I'm a donkey mom, or what did
Speaker 4: the lady say? A lady called Kovino and Rich last
Speaker 4: week and complained because Rich was going in on people
Speaker 4: that are a little too close to their pets. And
Speaker 4: she said, I am a cat mom and I don't
Speaker 4: care if you don't like that term. And Rich was like, well,
Speaker 4: that's fine, but they're not the same as children. She's
Speaker 4: like to me, it is my child, And so he
Speaker 4: got some blowback on that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is fun doing a national show and having
Speaker 1: the random not in the demo listener call up and
Speaker 1: start attacking you for something. One of my favorite memories
Speaker 1: of that this goes back twenty years and there was
Speaker 1: some political something in the Middle East that was going
Speaker 1: on twenty years ago, and I remember what it was.
Speaker 1: But this old woman from somewhere in the northeast, somewhere
Speaker 1: in the New England States called up and was on
Speaker 1: hold for a long time. Because she didn't have anything
Speaker 1: to say, and she was not in the demo, and
Speaker 1: she was on hold, and then she got on the
Speaker 1: air and she's she's like ripping. She takes a shot
Speaker 1: at Fox News right and hangs up, not realizing we're
Speaker 1: not Fox News right. She's like all upset. It was
Speaker 1: like it was the funniest thing. I still remember, We're
Speaker 1: not even related. We work for iHeart Medias who we
Speaker 1: worked for. That's the parent company that we have to
Speaker 1: deal with on a regular.
Speaker 3: I heeart that it's nothing to do with Fox Corporation.
Speaker 1: Not at all. No, no, no, all right, yeah, so
Speaker 1: I thank you for the story, Joe. By the way,
Speaker 1: Joe says, millennials are the ones that are most likely
Speaker 1: to dump their their significant other for a dog. Alf
Speaker 1: from the Mass Mutual Center rights and as I sat
Speaker 1: through my son's college graduation ceremonial, the congratulations little baby,
Speaker 1: Alf all grown up? How about you? Alf says As
Speaker 1: I sat through my son's college graduation ceremony, I couldn't
Speaker 1: help but think of the following question. Would you guys
Speaker 1: take a do over and go back to college and
Speaker 1: into the job market intoday's market, says Alf. Yeah, unless
Speaker 1: I knew the knowledge I have now, and if I
Speaker 1: could go back and do it all over again with
Speaker 1: knowledge that I've gained through my life, that would be
Speaker 1: kind of cool.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't want to redo that part of life. What
Speaker 4: I would want to redo are a couple of those
Speaker 4: program director jobs I had because much like you, I
Speaker 4: don't play the game. I didn't play the game where
Speaker 4: you should be buddies with your bosses and go drinking
Speaker 4: with some of the people you work with. I was
Speaker 4: so focused on the actual radio station that I didn't
Speaker 4: hobnob enough.
Speaker 3: I think that's the word.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And so if I could go back and just
Speaker 4: have a little bit more fun and enjoy things and
Speaker 4: maybe and not kissing ass necessarily. But like I didn't
Speaker 4: even go to station events or like people's you know,
Speaker 4: parties that they would throw and they would invite everybody
Speaker 4: from work. I would never even attended things like that.
Speaker 4: Anti social I think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I hear you, I hear you. There's some
Speaker 1: some things that I in the multiverse. I like, what
Speaker 1: would have happened. I interviewed with TMZ Sports in twenty
Speaker 1: oh nine. I was about to be hired. They were
Speaker 1: going to launch TMZ Sports. I was wondering what would
Speaker 1: have happened if that had taken off they had hired me,
Speaker 1: And then famously was also around that time, I somewhere
Speaker 1: in that period, there was like two or three years there.
Speaker 1: I went, I went to Bristol, Connecticut, met with the
Speaker 1: ESPN executives there, and I was about to be hired there,
Speaker 1: and then that didn't work out. So like there's a
Speaker 1: couple of things that happened where I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't know if that would have I don't think I
Speaker 1: really fit ESPN per se would you look at things
Speaker 1: like that? But I'm happy. I think we're pretty lucky.
Speaker 3: Danny.
Speaker 1: We got in before the everyone's got a podcast era.
Speaker 1: You know, you actually had to earn it to get
Speaker 1: on the radio, and it meant something. It was meaningful.
Speaker 1: You know, you can just anybody could get a podcast
Speaker 1: and do that. You had to. You had to work
Speaker 1: your way up, and that was kind of cool, you know.
Speaker 1: I think I think that's a yeah.
Speaker 4: And we were both with the network before it became
Speaker 4: the number one sports network in the country.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's I have fond memories of being on
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio in Binghamton, New York and Pitts in
Speaker 1: a couple other cities, and we were like the fourth
Speaker 1: sports network in the country, and now we're at the top.
Speaker 1: Nick in Wisconsin rights in, thanks, alf, I hope your
Speaker 1: son does well. I want know what your son majored in.
Speaker 1: Nick in Wisconsin says Ben and Danny. We just had
Speaker 1: our second tornado warning in the last few weeks as
Speaker 1: I write this, which is rare in west central Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: Nick says, do either of you believe that the government
Speaker 1: has weather controlling technology and is using it to bend
Speaker 1: the American people to its will? Let's go coast to
Speaker 1: coast on this Sunday fun day. Yeah, So, I totally
Speaker 1: believe that technology is out there, and if the technology
Speaker 1: is out there, then the government has access to it.
Speaker 1: I absolutely believe that. And we know that the technology
Speaker 1: is out there because in the Middle East they have
Speaker 1: been fussing around with us. Didn't they have big floods
Speaker 1: because they messed it up? Was it last year or
Speaker 1: two years ago? Remember they had the big floods of
Speaker 1: places that they don't really get a lot of rain.
Speaker 1: They were they were messing around seating clouds and coming
Speaker 1: up with with rain and they got it wrong, and
Speaker 1: there were there were like flash flood warnings in a
Speaker 1: place that doesn't get much rain at all, and the
Speaker 1: theory is that's because they were humanly manipulating the weather.
Speaker 1: So I absolutely believe it's out there. And if it's
Speaker 1: out there, the government's got their fingers in it.
Speaker 4: So I buy that. What about you, Danny, let me
Speaker 4: ask you this. If you did, yeah, I know this
Speaker 4: is on your bucket list. If you did get to
Speaker 4: fill in for George Nori for a week Premiere Networks,
Speaker 4: what do you think you would spend most of the
Speaker 4: airtime talking about.
Speaker 1: I'd love to have a chance to fill in on
Speaker 1: Coast to Coast. I would do remote viewing because I've
Speaker 1: heard a lot about that recently, so I do remote
Speaker 1: viewing UFOs.
Speaker 4: I could do like some Bigfoot stuff UFO and the
Speaker 4: alien stuff has been in the news, and your theory
Speaker 4: about there being a world underneath the ocean and the
Speaker 4: sea and under mountains. Possibly we should get Nori back
Speaker 4: on the podcast.
Speaker 1: It's a great idea. We should track down Georgia and
Speaker 1: I'm going to I'm going to be in Vancouver coming
Speaker 1: up here in eleven days, so we're going to have
Speaker 1: to do some some we call him Evergreen Ponds Danny
Speaker 1: that will stand the test of time. So we'll have
Speaker 1: to do an interview weekend of chit Chat while I'm
Speaker 1: in Vancouver. So love to get George on and talk
Speaker 1: about some of those amazing Coast to Coast topics which
Speaker 1: are so good and really great on the podcast, because
Speaker 1: you can listen to the overnight show Live Danny, and
Speaker 1: then you can go back and hear the Coast to
Speaker 1: Coast Podcast with our buddy, the great George Norri who's
Speaker 1: been doing that for what thirty close to thirty years now.
Speaker 3: Coast time now, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Been a long run for sure. Kwang from Vietnam says
Speaker 1: Ben and Daddy G Radio instead of see you later, Alligator,
Speaker 1: I think I found a new book for Daddy G
Speaker 1: Radio to read, the baby CoA see you later, excavator.
Speaker 1: Have you heard of that book? Danny?
Speaker 3: You know what's funny about that.
Speaker 4: There's a song that's been staying in me and my
Speaker 4: better half brains and it's from Blippy.
Speaker 3: Are you aware of who Blippy is?
Speaker 1: I am not aware of the magical ability of Blippy.
Speaker 4: No Blippy is this goofy dude there's actually two of
Speaker 4: them that sort of look alike, and they pretend like
Speaker 4: it's only one guy, so they take turns doing the show.
Speaker 4: But Blippy wears a dumb hat and dumb glasses and
Speaker 4: suspenders and a bow tie and pants that look a
Speaker 4: little too tight, and he runs around like museums and
Speaker 4: kids parks and playgrounds and things around the country that
Speaker 4: would interest kids. He talks in a weird kind of
Speaker 4: pee wee herman voice. It's somewhat educational, but kids have
Speaker 4: gravitated towards this Blippy guy. He has a song that's
Speaker 4: called the Excavator Song. He shows an excavator and the
Speaker 4: song goes, I'm an excavator. And whenever CoA is dancing
Speaker 4: around the living room listening to the Excavator song, Brendon
Speaker 4: and I look at each other and we're like, we're
Speaker 4: gonna be singing this stupid song to ourselves for the
Speaker 4: next week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's a tough one. This book, though, it's
Speaker 1: a real book. He sent me a quang sent me
Speaker 1: a screenshot. See you later, excavator.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna look that up.
Speaker 1: You might have to get that for a little baby
Speaker 1: cold for sure. Time for one or two more here
Speaker 1: on the mail bag. Oh gotta get my guy Reggie
Speaker 1: and Reggie from Detroit. This dude emails us every week
Speaker 1: pretty much. He says, Ben, the show Around the Horn,
Speaker 1: its final week is this week on ESPN, the last
Speaker 1: episode coming up. He says, were you ever a fan
Speaker 1: of the show? And did you ever appear on that
Speaker 1: show or something like that show? Says our our guy
Speaker 1: Reggie from Detroit. No, Reggie, I was never on Around
Speaker 1: the Horn. I have seen the show. I stopped watching
Speaker 1: it probably twenty years ago, maybe longer. The late great T. J. Simers,
Speaker 1: who I got to know a lot. He was on
Speaker 1: it when it started and it went away, it went away.
Speaker 1: I just not it's not for me. I don't know who.
Speaker 4: Your credits include a couple of appearances on America's Most
Speaker 4: Wanted definitely and before that of course, and beat W
Speaker 4: and BC.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right now. I was on a show
Speaker 1: that Max Kellerman hosted on Fox that no one remembers
Speaker 1: called IMAX. I was a guest on I Max with Michael.
Speaker 3: I do that does sound familiar?
Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, I did a guest spot. It was funny
Speaker 1: because I was on there the episode I was on.
Speaker 1: Jason Whitlock was on, he was a guest on that,
Speaker 1: but it was Max Kellerman hosted it with this guy
Speaker 1: named Michael Holly, who is a Boston sports media personality.
Speaker 1: So I was on that, But no, I was never
Speaker 1: on Around the Horn. I haven't watched it in years,
Speaker 1: And I did see the story on Your Your Boy
Speaker 1: Clay's website that they said the ESPN canceled even though
Speaker 1: Around the Horn got good ratings, they canceled it because
Speaker 1: they couldn't get the people to focus on sports without
Speaker 1: making like whack of doodle comments about politics and ideology
Speaker 1: and things like that. So I thought that was kind.
Speaker 4: Of amusing that you lose, yeah, because if you were
Speaker 4: the winner, you had screen time and you could talk
Speaker 4: about whatever you wanted, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And they go on rants and that you talk
Speaker 1: about easy money. And I don't know how much they're
Speaker 1: making now, but from what I heard from the late
Speaker 1: great TJ. Seimers, they would pay those people on that show,
Speaker 1: like I think it was seven seven hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: dollars a day minimum for a thirty minute show, an
Speaker 1: ensemble cast, and you're only on there for you know,
Speaker 1: maybe ten minutes at the most or something like that
Speaker 1: where you're actually happing.
Speaker 3: Got some easy money right there.
Speaker 1: And that was money. You know, it's probably gone up,
Speaker 1: I would imagine it.
Speaker 3: Sure, it's double that at least.
Speaker 1: All right. I think that's enough, Danny. We got stuff
Speaker 1: to do. I'll be back tonight.
Speaker 4: With the you've been You sounded like you bummed yourself
Speaker 4: out thinking of other people's money there.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, no, it's fine. Good for them. I'm happy,
Speaker 1: you know. Anyway, Don't think about the money, Dandy. Don't
Speaker 1: touch the money. It's not your money, daddy.
Speaker 5: No man.
Speaker 4: Hey, every week going into the radio shows, I pretend
Speaker 4: like I have a callin Cowherd contract, because if you
Speaker 4: go about your business that way, someday you will have
Speaker 4: that contract.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, we have the same platform he has. He just
Speaker 1: has a lot more money. Good for him. But yes,
Speaker 1: And the great thing about it is for people that
Speaker 1: love Danny g and people that like what we know

Speaker 1: like us.
