WEBVTT - The Fifth Hour: "Bread on the Table" Mail Bag 0:00:00.920 --> 0:00:05.560 Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, dred minutes 0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:08.760 a week was enough, I think again. He's the last 0:00:08.880 --> 0:00:12.440 remnants of the old republic. A sole fashion of fairness. 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.600 He treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:19.639 the rich pill poppers in the penthouse. To clearing house 0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:23.400 of hot takes, break free for something special. The fifth 0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:32.600 hour with Ben Maller starts right now. In the air everywhere, 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:37.559 eight days a week. There is no stopping the fifth 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:43.040 hour with Ben Maller and Danny G radio. Back at 0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:50.040 it again with the male bag. Never all right, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:56.040 you will not be hearing the sound of that. No, no, no, not, not, not, not, not, no. 0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:02.560 As we bring the heavy R tillery and before we 0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:06.360 get into the mail bag, Danny G Ohio, all strike 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:25.520 up the band. It's all right, very good, Danny. Any 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:28.320 opening foster? Should we just go right to the mail bag? 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:32.280 What do you say? Let's attack this head on. All right, 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:35.600 we are going to attack it one by one we go, 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:40.120 and that's right, Kevin in Kansas, right, since this ne're 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.880 Ben and Danny G, I like knowing how the sausage 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:48.880 is made. Could you give some insider information about how 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.840 to create your podcast or how you create your podcast, 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.919 either the main show or the fifth hour? I listened 0:01:54.960 --> 0:02:01.080 to them all. Thanks, gentlemen. That is from Kevin in Kansas. Well, Kevin, 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.400 there's a method to the madness. As Danny G has said, 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:07.840 you don't necessarily want to know how we make the sausage. Uh, 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:11.200 but there is a routine that we have. As far 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:14.519 as the podcast, it really depends on what part of 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:16.760 the year it is. Right now it's football season and 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:20.000 we're doing benny versus the penny on the podcast, and 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:24.640 so much of my downtime around the radio show I 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.280 spend I like to handicap the NFL Games. Like to 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:29.800 think I know what's going on in the NFL. So 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:33.120 I spent a lot of time following the radio show 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:39.440 be checking out stats and notes and information gambling numbers 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.640 on the NFL Games and then we will record that 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:47.600 at a certain point and then we've we've settled into 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.720 this routine to anywhere. Normally on Saturdays we talk about 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:54.960 things that are going on in our world, which is 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:58.840 good and bad. Uh, it's good because it's it's something cool. 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.040 But sometimes if there's nothing going on. You're like, wait 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:04.520 a minute, I didn't really do anything. And but fortunately 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.560 there's always something that seems to happen, because we only 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.239 really need one or two things, Danny. That happens during 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:15.760 the week and we do live exciting radio lives rock stars, 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:19.560 unless we're not. But Southern California provides a lot of content. 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:23.680 My tinderroni provides a lot of content, your wife provides 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:28.040 you with content and you have, uh, serious injuries from 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:32.399 time to time that come up like like you looked 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:36.760 like Patrick Ewing walking around the studio the other day. 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:40.119 I am sacrificing my body for the fifth hour podcast, 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:42.800 for the life of Mallard podcast. I have injured my knee, 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:47.200 my two I've burned my arm. I've still had listeners 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:51.640 asking me about the Marianera episode. Oh Man, I was 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.840 back at trader Joe's last weekend and I walked down 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:57.400 the aisle that has all the pasta sauce and I 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:02.640 gave the Marinera the evil eye. I stared down the Marianera, 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.440 but I did and I said screw you, Meranera. That's 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:08.600 what I said. I can give you one little piece 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:12.120 of behind the scenes for the podcast besides doing post 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:15.280 production with the drops and imaging pieces and stuff like that, 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:19.080 I also go through all of the wave files and 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:20.640 I wish I could show you. If it was TV, 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:22.960 I could show you what those look like, but just 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:25.960 google wave files. You'll see what they look like and 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:30.200 I find wherever your voice really peaks and I control 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:35.239 that with a filter. Talk now and then. That way 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.000 it doesn't blow people's air drums out when they're listening 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:41.840 to the podcast. It reminds me of the reverse. When 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.360 I was working in San Diego Lee Hamilton's hack saw 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:52.000 he had a pedal under the studio chair, and so 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:53.880 the way this would work is when he get into 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:59.120 a screaming match with the caller, he would then press 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:02.320 the pedal, and so therefore he would always be louder 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:08.400 than the person he was getting into the I've never 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:10.720 had that. I wish I could have that. That would 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:14.360 be a lot of fun. That would be bad news. 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:20.200 Pedal to the medal. Next up is Blake in Arkansas. 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:24.680 He says Ben Why is it that an NFL team 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:28.200 jumps out to a ten point plus halftime lead? When 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:32.760 that happens, you can almost gearantee that the losing team 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:36.279 will make a comeback. College Ball seems to go the 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:40.880 opposite direction. The better team get stronger, they get faster, 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:44.719 they're better in the second half and they extend the lead. 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.799 I'm to the point that if I like the favorite, 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:52.159 I will just bet the first half. I'm not much 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.880 of a conspiracy guy, outside of politics, of course, but 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.960 something stinks. Any thoughts? Well, I haven't spent too much 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.280 time thinking about it, Blake, but it is a fair point. 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:07.120 It's why, in the gambling world I've always been under 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.560 the assumption, in what I was taught by older gamblers, 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:14.240 is in college you bet the favorite. In the NFL 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:18.320 you lean to the underdog if all things are equal, 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:22.400 and it does seem like even when they don't come 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.159 back and win, if a team jumps out to a 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:27.240 big start, the other team will get back in the game. 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.599 They might not win the game, but they'll typically get 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.880 back in the game. And in any given weekend maybe 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:36.880 there's one game that's just a rat kill and a blowout, 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:40.440 but other than that, at the most too in a 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:46.880 given weekend, every other game is within ten points or less, 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:51.520 and usually it's within seven points or less. So it's 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.040 one of those things. If you bet those monster teasers 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.000 where you get ten points, it's like, well, wait a 0:06:57.040 --> 0:07:00.480 minute here, how can you lose? But you just gotta 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:03.400 make sure you don't pick the one game that turns 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:06.760 out to be a debacle, because there's always that one game. 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:08.600 So you gotta avoid the one game, but other than 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:13.160 that you should be all right. Come back. It's side. 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:17.240 From now I'll call Pierre formally from Springfield now from 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:22.200 West Warren. He points out narrowcasting, Pierre says, to either 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:26.720 of you, gentlemen, pre record sporting events. Do you do? 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:30.840 You do that? Personally? I don't watch, ever, ever watch anything. 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:35.760 Pierre says that I already know the outcome of unless 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:39.480 you count a rebroadcast of a historical game or an 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:43.560 occasional replay of a throwback game, and our regional sports 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:47.600 network any progress, he says, on landing the Great Karen 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:51.800 Kay or. She's still bitter that you bend blew her 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:55.960 off at the birthday party she had back in the day. 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:58.960 It's Pierre Fan of earning the great opening. Yeah, I 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:02.000 screwed up. I for some reason Ernie's name popped into 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:04.360 my head, not alf the grade oplaner. I said Ernie, 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:08.000 it's a bad job by me. We we really haven't 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:11.280 reached out to Karen Lately, but we can make that 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:15.480 happen once things calm down with Benny versus the penny 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:18.720 and all that. Will definitely have Karen Kaon, maybe sooner, 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:21.720 who knows. And as far as the rebroadcast, I'll go 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.760 first on that, Danny H if I know the score, 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:28.120 I will not watch, but I do fall into rabbit holes. 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:29.960 I'll be on the treadmill back when I had a 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:33.600 working knee and I'll be watching like they'll they'll show 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:37.200 uh an NBC game of the week with Tony Kubeck, 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.800 or they'll show Monday night baseball game on one of 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.240 those old school baseball channels and as long as they 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:46.640 don't put the score of the game in the description 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.920 that I click on, I'm in. Like I'll turn on. 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:52.800 I turned on a random like it was a Chicago 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:57.400 White Sox match up with the Oakland athletics from like 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:00.960 the early eighties, and I didn't know who won the 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:04.760 game and I didn't really remember. You know, maybe I 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:08.439 watched it, maybe I didn't, but I was in because 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:11.160 I didn't know the outcome. I didn't remember the outcome. 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:14.440 What about you did. Even when the dvr became a thing, 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:19.000 I didn't use it to record sports because that's appointment viewing. 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.920 If I didn't see it live, then I would watch highlights, 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:26.000 but to watch an old game back. No, the only 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:28.520 time I think I watched old game back is if 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:31.559 my team destroyed another or had a really good showing 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.680 and then there was a replay like on the NFL network. 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.440 I would watch some of it again, but I don't 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:40.840 think I've actually taped a game as it was going 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:43.920 since way back when I was a kid and we 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:49.200 had VCRs and we would record classic Lakers Games, Raider 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:52.360 Games at the l a coliseum and stuff like that, 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.560 because at the time my mom would make us go 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.320 to church or something like that and we would have 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:00.760 to tape it. That way we could come home and 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:04.320 see what happened and there wasn't social media ruining the 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:08.600 score for us. Yeah, exactly. It's very difficult, if you're 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:12.240 plugged in, to not find out the score, even by accident. 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.160 You might not be trying to get the score, but 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:19.200 you'll see it somewhere, whether it's on your phone or 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.800 you'll be driving and it'll pop up somewhere and it 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:26.240 does ruin the experience and I will not watch a 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:29.040 sporting event if I know who already won. What's the point? 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:35.640 I'm right there with you on that. I got mail, yeah, 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:42.080 I got mail. Yea, Carlos from Bang Bang Houston says hey, Ben, 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.200 I was wondering if I can get a birthday shout out. 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.960 It's on the the twenty seconds, so it was earlier 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:52.040 this week. I know you don't do birthday shoutouts on 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:56.319 the radio, but it's a podcast. What are the rules, Danny? 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:58.720 Do we are we allowed to do birthday shoutouts on 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:01.920 the podcast? I thought I was more of a a 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:06.120 one on one thing where you know, you know radio part. 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:10.240 This is broadcasting still, right, podcast. I think they need 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:14.000 to pay you for one of those. Uh, be a cameo. 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.440 You can do a cameo for you if you want 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:21.320 and uh, but anyway, Carlos said, yeah, you've lived a 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:27.720 tough life. Your heroes, the s strows, ruining all of 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:31.280 Houston Sports, tarnished because of the cheating scandal. But you 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.480 seem like a good guy and you're a fan of 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:35.880 the show and I wish I could give your birthday 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.920 shout out, but I can he also says, what's the 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.079 most memorable and worst birthdays you guys have ever had? 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.040 Keep up the great work. What we've talked about this 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.199 in the past and I don't know, do we want 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:48.960 to go back down that road. Danny, do you wanna? 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:51.720 You want to share memories? But I will say really 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:55.040 quick on my twenty one birthday, instead of it being 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:58.800 some amazing blowout, I went and there was this girl 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.160 I was dating at the time time and she was 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:04.440 dead tired because of her work schedule. Her roommate could 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:06.880 not wake her up. She was dead to the world. 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:09.720 So I sat in the living room. A couple of 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:13.480 the roommates gave me a bear to pop open and 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.079 I sat there on the couch watching a TV show. 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:22.040 What a wonderful memory, great twenty first birthday, but you 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.439 were you weren't totally alone. There were other people there. 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:26.720 There were other people and she felt bad when she 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:28.920 woke up. So she's like, Oh, I'm gonna make it 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:31.360 up to you tomorrow. I'm so sorry about my schedule, 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:35.679 but my actual twenty first birthday sucked because of her. Wow, 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:40.240 all right. Next up, as we continue further and further 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:41.360 than the mid back now if you want to be 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.319 part of the mailback. Some weeks we get a ton 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:45.640 of mails, some weeks we don't get that many. It's 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:47.440 really a hit and miss.

And I post 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:11.040 on usually Tuesdays, sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon, 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:14.880 requesting questions. So there's a couple of different ways you 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:17.360 can do it. You can post it online or email 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:19.920 it privately and we may use your question on the air. 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:23.199 You've got mail Chris and Marracca to Iowa. He sent 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:26.120 an email and he says Ben, I'm putting at Ben 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:29.720 in Dannergy. I'm putting a resonant lot up for sale 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:34.000 after my wife and I decided we don't want to 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:37.960 build on the land anymore. And Uh, and Chris says 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:41.520 I have I have it listed in facebook marketplace right now. 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:45.240 Did you use a realtor when you sold the Mallard Mansion, 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:48.760 and do you have any other advice for me trying 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:54.320 to sell it myself? To have some some sweet dough? Uh. 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:59.040 He also says ps go raiders. That cardinal game hurt bad. So, Chris, 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:03.200 first of all, we use a realtor. You can do 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:07.439 it without a realtor, although I don't know much about 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:11.800 facebook marketplace and I'm not sure what the real estate 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:17.520 market is in that platform. And so my advice, if 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:21.120 you really want to go cheap and you really wanna 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:26.280 you want to go by the by the cheapest route possible. 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:31.240 What I would do, since apparently there's no property, it's 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:35.120 just land, but there's still a lot of legal bullshit 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:39.600 you gotta fill out. So my advice would be too 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:44.800 pay a small amount by the hour to a realtor 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:48.600 rather than giving them a commission, a flat commission on land. 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.040 You could probably find somebody that would do it for 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:54.080 a nominal amount of money where they have to do 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:56.000 the paperwork. Had A buddy of mine I worked with 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:59.600 in Radio, he actually became a realtor and he's one 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:02.920 of the most successful realtors in the San Fernando Valley 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:06.320 here in L A and it always blew me away 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.080 because I was like, you guys, it's a radio guy 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:09.880 and he doesn't really know a lot about the numbers 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:12.680 and all that. And he told me he hired uh, 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:16.080 this assistant, this woman who's really good with the numbers, 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:17.920 and he hired this guy that helps him out with 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:21.640 the paperwork, and so he doesn't do any of the bullcrap. 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:24.880 He just has to worry about making the deal, and 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.000 so there are ways you can do that. I would 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.920 advise that Chris any tips Danny G on real estate 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:34.400 dealings for Chris and Marraccata Iowa who wants to save 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:38.200 a couple of shekels. Be careful, watch out for squatters. 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.880 My mom and Stepdad had a piece of property in 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:45.480 Montana for years. It had nothing built on it. When 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:48.240 they finally went to check out the land, you know, 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:50.520 it was a while they hadn't been there. There was 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.720 somebody squatting and living on the land and it turned 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.120 up to be a nightmare to get the squatter off 0:15:56.160 --> 0:16:00.240 the property. Yeah, we've heard that it's it's it's certain states. 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:02.080 I don't know what it's. Obviously Montana you're talking about. 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:06.600 I don't California. It's it's like the squatter has more 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:10.320 rights than the people that actually own the property. It's 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:12.840 really messed up how they do that, but good luck 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:15.360 to you, Chris. I would attempt to get on the 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:19.120 real estate websites. That's uh, that's the way to go 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:21.600 on and make sure you forward us that address. I'm 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:24.440 gonna bring my tent over there for vacation. Yeah, Danny 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:27.080 G'S gonna have his hunting moon right there in Iowa 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:32.520 and Marracca, Iowa. Come back. It's time from now. I'll 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:36.600 call Mike from fullerton rights and he says, following up 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:41.040 on an answer from last week, you are right not 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:44.040 to read the really offensive land jokes on the fifth hour. 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:49.360 The Guy who was chosen to host jeopardy after Alex 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:53.440 Trebek passed away was quickly fired, Mike points out, after 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:57.200 people dug up old comments he made on a podcast. 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:00.440 And as much as I like the fifth hour, if 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:05.560 you ever read a joke that personally offended me, I 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:10.040 still wouldn't think twice before starting an online petition to 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:16.680 shut your podcast down, Mike. Mike says. Now to my question. 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:22.040 How many people have each of you gotten canceled? If none. 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:25.840 Who would you like to cancel in the future? So 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:29.560 I'll go first. I have not really gotten anyone canceled, 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:33.720 although I did get an NBA player find a game 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:38.320 check of over sixty thousand dollars because of my website, 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:41.640 Ben Mallard Dot Com. Years ago. I've told the story 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:43.680 a few times on the PODCAST, on the radio show. 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:47.359 There was a basketball player named Matrell Sprewell. Pretty good player, 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:51.159 very angry player. He's most known for choking his coach 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:53.280 when he played for the Golden State Warriors, but he 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.600 was on the Minnesota Timberwolves. They were playing the clippers. 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:59.960 It was on a Saturday night and the fans were 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.679 heckling latrell spree. Well, there was one woman that was 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:06.600 heckling latreill and La Trail decided to scream out when 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:10.120 the crowd was quiet and explain what the woman could 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:16.320 do to Latrell. It involved kneepads and a tongue bath 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:20.520 and needless to say, uh, that that did not go 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.640 over well. It got picked up on the live television 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:28.200 broadcast and, uh, let's just say, somebody I know, who 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:30.200 may or may not have been working on the broadcast, 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.200 let me know about it. I wrote a story about 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:37.320 it on my website and uh, the N B A 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:41.399 was there were fans of my website. They read about 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:46.119 it on my website and ended up finding it. They 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:49.119 originally suspended him for a game. Latrell spree well and 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:51.840 they ended up taking the suspension away, but they find 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:55.120 him a game check because of that and it would 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:58.560 not have happened. It would not have happened without that story. 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:01.080 The other part of that which was great, I had 0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:04.040 a buddy of mine who was an NBA executive for 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:08.679 for a team and I explained the situation and he 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:12.399 told me, because this happened on a Saturday, he said, Ben, 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:18.120 nothing's gonna Happen on Sunday. Nothing ever happens in the NBA, 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:21.560 the NFL or Major League baseball on Saturday or Sunday. 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:24.600 All the executives go out to Long Island, they go 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:28.080 out to the Hampton's, they go upstate, they go downstate, 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:33.919 but they're not at the office. And he's right. Nothing 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:37.120 happens on the weekends. All these decisions are Monday through Friday. 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:40.080 The League offices shut down in the NBA on it 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:44.280 was a Monday evening. They announced the punishment for Spreedwell, Danny, 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:46.480 have you gotten anyone canceled or would you like to 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:50.560 get someone canceled? I have never gotten anybody canceled. Not 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:55.639 your style. I can write a kid yellow detention for him, 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:58.720 but even that was hard. Yeah, alright, so, yeah, you 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:02.440 punished the kids. Yeah, kids have to explain to their parents. Well, 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:05.680 you Gott what did you do? Shame on you. I'm 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:08.440 smiling and having fun there at the school way more 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:17.760 than I'm writing tickets. I got mail, yea, I got mail. Yea.

He is a beauty, 0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:03.600 George says. Well, I'm a fan of Sean the Hood 0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:06.159 Guy as well. I'm bummed out we didn't get to 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:08.160 meet him at that Mallard meet and reet, but hopefully 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:10.600 next year when we do another one in L A, 0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:12.480 in the L A area, we'll be able to meet 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:16.960 Sean the Hood Guy, says. This past Sunday into Monday, 0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:22.919 the First Hour Baltimore Crows. Maybe that's why they didn't 0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:26.280 cut the check. Beautiful, he says. I love it when 0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:32.159 you bust looney's, Arnie's and Jonas balls. Signed George, go 0:21:32.400 --> 0:21:36.920 hard on a guy in Van coouver.

Five years, where does the time go? 0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:44.480 Goes by pretty quick and I still attack Looney, even 0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:47.160 though he does not work for the company anymore. And 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:51.200 I am still fascinated the fact that Arnie, Arnie Spanier, 0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:54.320 a veteran talk to your host, is afraid of the 0:21:54.359 --> 0:21:59.040 Mallard militia. That fascinates me about Arnie. Uh and Jonas, 0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:03.400 now a big morning host. Love, love goofing on Jonas 0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:05.880 and it's good to see him now that I'm back 0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:08.359 in studio. Half the time I see Jonas half the 0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:13.040 week and I see him and Lavar Arrington and those guys, 0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:15.600 and so it's nice to see them as we are 0:22:15.640 --> 0:22:19.360 ships passing in the middle of the night literally. Why 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:21.919 don't we do one more and uh, I know you 0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:24.400 have places going, things to do, Danny G. is that accurate? 0:22:24.400 --> 0:22:27.240 Is that correct? Would that be fair? Yeah, it's another 0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:30.600 day at the studios today. Alright. So last one, nick 0:22:30.760 --> 0:22:34.280 in Wisconsin. Right, so he says Benn and Danny G. 0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:39.240 So let's play start, bench cut food edition. I actually 0:22:39.280 --> 0:22:42.480 like this. I say this as my closer, because this 0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:46.560 is a version of F Mary kill, the food version, 0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:49.640 and this is a good, good deal by Nick. Good 0:22:49.720 --> 0:22:52.359 job by you, nick. I give you a gold star 0:22:52.720 --> 0:22:55.520 next to your name. Thumbs up. So Nick in wisconsins 0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:59.920 is Benn and Dang. Let's play start, bench cut food edition. China, 0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:04.600 these Mexican and Italian food. You make the call. What 0:23:04.640 --> 0:23:08.680 do you do? All right, start means you get that 0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:13.040 food whenever, bench means you get it only sometimes, and 0:23:13.080 --> 0:23:20.200 cut means you can never consume the food again. Holy Cannoli. Alright, 0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:24.040 so this is very difficult. These are tremendous food groups, 0:23:24.080 --> 0:23:28.520 cultural food groups, Chinese food, Mexican food and Italian food. 0:23:29.440 --> 0:23:33.960 But I have decided in this game of start bench 0:23:34.119 --> 0:23:40.960 and cut my starter, Viva Mexico. I'm going with the 0:23:41.040 --> 0:23:45.200 Mexican food. That is my starter. I love Mexican food. 0:23:45.240 --> 0:23:47.680 A very lucky to live in California, which is really 0:23:47.720 --> 0:23:50.760 just like northern Mexico, uh, and they have a tremendous 0:23:50.800 --> 0:23:55.399 Mexican food here. So somebody talented cooks and chefs and whatnot, 0:23:55.560 --> 0:23:59.159 and restaurants and just wonderful. So I go and this 0:23:59.560 --> 0:24:03.160 you can eat tacos one day, burritos the next. There's 0:24:03.200 --> 0:24:06.320 so many different options with the Mexican food, Spicy and 0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:09.399 get mild. So I'm going to Mexican food now the 0:24:09.480 --> 0:24:12.840 number two. See that this is where it gets really hard, 0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:18.840 because you can never eat one of these foods again, Damn. 0:24:21.200 --> 0:24:23.320 But I'm gonna put it. I'M gonna put Italian as 0:24:23.400 --> 0:24:26.359 my as my bench, and Italian is gonna be my 0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:31.920 my bench, and that means I'm gonna say bye bye 0:24:31.920 --> 0:24:35.040 to Chinese food. And I love the Chinese food, but 0:24:35.160 --> 0:24:37.720 I gotta say goodbye to it. And the reason I'm 0:24:37.720 --> 0:24:40.199 gonna say goodbye to it, Danny, is because when I 0:24:40.200 --> 0:24:43.639 eat Chinese food, it often does not fill me up, 0:24:44.160 --> 0:24:47.080
