Speaker 1: Cut booms.
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 soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: The clearing House of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 3: In the air.
Speaker 1: Everywhey The Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler and Danny g
Speaker 1: because four hours a night during the week is clearly
Speaker 1: not enough. In this podcast and audio content eight days
Speaker 1: a week at the radio show five and then the
Speaker 1: podcast three days as well. You hear Danny with Covino
Speaker 1: and Rich during the week. And we thank you for
Speaker 1: following the podcast and listening to the podcast as we
Speaker 1: have slid into a beautiful Sunday, the eighteenth day of
Speaker 1: February with the Daytona buggety bugging it, buggety bugging it,
Speaker 1: buggety buggety, buggety bugging and the NBA all stargat. What
Speaker 1: a weekend?
Speaker 3: What a day?
Speaker 1: Yeah, what a day? It is unbelievable.
Speaker 3: Can I tell you something? What's I missed football already.
Speaker 3: You're in Yeah, some people, some people say they need
Speaker 3: a breather. No, man, I didn't want the season to end.
Speaker 1: I'm okay though, because we have the silly season and
Speaker 1: now Carrie us until the NFL Draft.
Speaker 3: Like, I know, you talked a little bit of baseball
Speaker 3: last week. Covino and Rich talked to some baseball. I
Speaker 3: just wasn't ready for it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it's it's Baseball is not usually great on
Speaker 1: on the radio. No, no, so that's a bit of
Speaker 1: a problem. It does. It's not a sport that's radio
Speaker 1: friendly unless there's a big controversy, and they don't do controversy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, or like a really good call, like a good
Speaker 3: home run call, or like a grand a walk off
Speaker 3: grand slam.
Speaker 1: Yeah, something like that. Today, by the way, Danny, is
Speaker 1: thumb Appreciation Day. Happy thumb Appreciation Day. Do you appreciate
Speaker 1: your thumb?
Speaker 4: Thumb your nose at me?
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, look at you? Thumbs up. Thumbs up for.
Speaker 4: Sure, No where you can stick that thumb.
Speaker 1: It's National Drink Wine today. Are you a wine drinker?
Speaker 1: I you know what?
Speaker 3: I did partake in some wine when I lived on
Speaker 3: the Central Coast or as we called it, the South
Speaker 3: Central Coast because it was Laker country in Santa Maria,
Speaker 3: Orchid lom Poke, Pismo Beach, San Luis Obispo. Tons of
Speaker 3: Laker fans there. South Central Coast. They are wine country,
Speaker 3: They're Santa Barbara County. And so they would have the
Speaker 3: Santa Barbara County Fair and we'd have our big radio
Speaker 3: station pop up tent with our table, and listeners would
Speaker 3: come by and win prizes and all that. And when
Speaker 3: I would take my break from the DJ booth, there
Speaker 3: was a wine tent unlimited. You could taste all the
Speaker 3: different kinds of wines from the region. So we would
Speaker 3: get all buzzed and tipsy and then stumble back to
Speaker 3: our DJ tent.
Speaker 1: That was the move.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was good. It was so good.
Speaker 1: I wish I was a wine drinker, because I've been
Speaker 1: invited by people who love wine and I'm just not.
Speaker 1: I'm not a wine guy.
Speaker 3: You know, the white wine gives a lot of people headaches.
Speaker 3: The red wine gives a lot of people indigestion or
Speaker 3: acid reflux. Yeah, as me and my wife you have
Speaker 3: gotten older, we've noticed the red wine that we drank
Speaker 3: even three years ago kind of bothers our stomachs now,
Speaker 3: So I feel like it's a young man's game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I didn't like it when I was young.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, there's places all over California, this big
Speaker 1: wine country in San Diego, those places, and obviously where
Speaker 1: you're from, and then further north is legendary.
Speaker 4: Yeah, in northern California. You know what doesn't hurt your stomach?
Speaker 4: But I don't know. If I don't know.
Speaker 3: If you're a hibachi guy, have you ever had hot soaki?
Speaker 1: I have not.
Speaker 3: You got to try that. They called us sake bomb.
Speaker 4: That's the way to go.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: They take a Japanese beer and you pour the hot
Speaker 3: sake or you drop the hot sake into it. That buzz.
Speaker 3: You're just laughing for no reason. You're laughing your ass off.
Speaker 3: It's such a good buzz.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: Why don't we start with Pop Goes to Culture? We
Speaker 1: didn't get to that on Saturday. So can we get tho.
Speaker 5: Pop Goes to Culture Chartjug.
Speaker 1: Jug These are some oddball stories that caught my attention,
Speaker 1: and we have a well, we'll start with this. Remember
Speaker 1: the guy in Vegas that climbed the spear before the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. That's right, Yeah, big story there. The man
Speaker 1: climbed all the way to the top of the spear.
Speaker 1: He now expects all the chargers to be dropped, despite
Speaker 1: the fact there was a bunch of damage that supposedly
Speaker 1: happened to that venue six figures, which I guess is
Speaker 1: a lot.
Speaker 3: But thats the ld like thousands, hundreds of thousands of
Speaker 3: the led squares.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they estimated aboute hundred thousand dollars in damage.
Speaker 1: And that guy, the pro life spider man who used
Speaker 1: his spidy like senses to climb all the way to
Speaker 1: the top of viral a viral moment there Wednesday, prior
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl. Of course, he was then arrested,
Speaker 1: but the expectation is those charges will be dropped. He's
Speaker 1: He was described in the arrest report as an in
Speaker 1: an engineer inside the spear was the first to notice
Speaker 1: this guy climbing the top to the top there, and
Speaker 1: then it went blow by blow on what happened. The
Speaker 1: guy's twenty four years old.
Speaker 4: I didn't realize it was a pro life thing.
Speaker 1: As a general rule, if you inconvenience people with your cause,
Speaker 1: people will hate your cause no matter what your cause is.
Speaker 1: Right in La here we have people that are protesting
Speaker 1: wars and they close freeways. Well immediately I'm then pro
Speaker 1: war and I'm not pro war. But if you inconvenience
Speaker 1: me in my daily life for your cause, I will
Speaker 1: then cheer for whatever you're cheering against to happen.
Speaker 3: Or if you're just pulling a stunt. Ben remember when
Speaker 3: that radio DJ had his haircut in the middle of
Speaker 3: the bridge there in San Francisco, that man cow guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and it caused a backup for hours. The
Speaker 3: city was furious.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: If you close something and cause problems for somebody because
Speaker 1: of your little cause, the people who are having their
Speaker 1: lives affected will then openly support the other side of
Speaker 1: your whatever you're for, they will then support the other side.
Speaker 1: So anyway that we'll see if that actually happens. That
Speaker 1: But the way the world now, I thought things were
Speaker 1: a little different in Nevada. But the damage done, any
Speaker 1: repairs to the spear will be done from inside the spear,
Speaker 1: they claim, not outside inside. For whatever that's worth, what
Speaker 1: else we have pop goes the culture people already returning
Speaker 1: the Apple Vision pro headsets. Have you seen these things?
Speaker 1: These Apple Vision pro headsets, which were all the rage
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, very expensive, right, I've not seen a lot of
Speaker 3: videos of people toying around with them online.
Speaker 1: Yeah, good time killer, good time killer.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And it's it's people who hate their lives and
Speaker 3: they want to live in like a virtual reality.
Speaker 1: I'm good. I feel like real life is virtual reality
Speaker 1: a lot of the time. That's just kind of the
Speaker 1: way the way it is. Let's see what else you have.
Speaker 1: The bubonic play. Here's good is the bubonic plague has
Speaker 1: returned to Oregon.
Speaker 3: I saw this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, bubonic play.
Speaker 4: That's great.
Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll come up with the vaccine for that.
Speaker 1: I have one.
Speaker 3: But what do you think about the conspiracy theory that
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four is just twenty twenty on repeat. First
Speaker 3: you have the Chiefs beating the Niners, and now the
Speaker 3: bubonic plague is about to strike just like COVID did
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty right after the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: No less.
Speaker 1: Well, this actually kind of relates to that because there
Speaker 1: was a study done recently that tried to explain why
Speaker 1: Americans have stopped hanging out with other Americans. And they
Speaker 1: did some research from twenty three to twenty twenty two
Speaker 1: American men reduced the average hours of face to face
Speaker 1: socializing by roughly thirty percent. For unmarried Americans, it was
Speaker 1: even bigger, more than thirty five percent. For teenagers, it
Speaker 1: was almost fifty percent, more than forty five percent. Boys
Speaker 1: and girls ages fifteen to nineteen reduced their weekly social
Speaker 1: hangout time by more than three hours a week. And
Speaker 1: there is no statistical record of any other period and
Speaker 1: recorded US history when people have spent more time on
Speaker 1: their own than now. So and you know why that is, Danny,
Speaker 1: It's because of because of phones, social Media's like, people
Speaker 1: are not hanging out with other people. We're from the
Speaker 1: Stone Age, so we would hang out with the neighborhood kids,
Speaker 1: or you'd hang out with your brothers and whatever to
Speaker 1: kill time. We were just get into trouble because that's
Speaker 1: what we had to do. But we didn't have any
Speaker 1: other options.
Speaker 3: But by the way, the other thing that's repeating, twenty twenty,
Speaker 3: we had the Trump Biden stuff take over. Same thing's
Speaker 3: gonna happen again this year, That's true, Yeah, except this
Speaker 3: year it's going to be Trump versus Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1: Yes, the Swifties for the White House. That's sort I
Speaker 1: thought that story was interesting. They said that people it's
Speaker 1: alone but not lonely.
Speaker 3: That it just means that this generation, like that VR
Speaker 3: headset or Apple's version of it, there's ways that this
Speaker 3: generation can spend time and feel okay about it without
Speaker 3: feeling lonely like maybe our parents or grandparents used to feel.
Speaker 1: They said, people are like they're alone, but they're not
Speaker 1: lonely because they're texting.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: We have electronic games. Yeah, you have electronic company all
Speaker 3: the time.
Speaker 1: That's pretty it's pretty crazy. But this is in the
Speaker 1: recorded history of humanity, since they killed track of this stuff,
Speaker 1: it has never gone this direction as rapidly and plummeted
Speaker 1: to the levels it's gone down this year so or
Speaker 1: not this year, but this last last generation or so.
Speaker 1: So that was that was kind of interesting. This is
Speaker 1: actually a story from a few days ago, but I
Speaker 1: don't think we talked about it last week because we
Speaker 1: were doing the show from Vegas that the Chernobyl disaster
Speaker 1: they have they're trying to figure out exactly how this happened.
Speaker 1: But the wolves that were exposed to chernobyl have mutated
Speaker 1: and are now resistant to cancer. That you know, think
Speaker 1: about that that there is a way they don't have
Speaker 1: to figure out how exactly does this mean you'd have
Speaker 1: to like walk into a nuclear reactor.
Speaker 4: To be cancer free? Or could you be like Homer
Speaker 4: Simpson and just work out one you just.
Speaker 1: Just eat donuts and sit there. But the wolves exposed
Speaker 1: to chernobyl have mutated and they are cancer resilient and
Speaker 1: resistant as well, and they claim the science community, of course, says, well,
Speaker 1: this is what we're going to figure out how they're
Speaker 1: doing it, and then we can help bring that to humans.
Speaker 4: Good luck.
Speaker 1: That's one of those I believe it when it actually happens,
Speaker 1: because I've seen stories like this over the years, and
Speaker 1: usually it's a bunch of bullshit and it's not actually
Speaker 1: not actually true at all. All right, let's get to
Speaker 1: the mail bag. That means ohio ow, good old ohiow.
Speaker 1: It's all right, So the mailbak. These are actual letters
Speaker 1: by actual listeners. We thank you for sending them in.
Speaker 1: And the mail bag has been great, a lot of
Speaker 1: new people each week. We're getting some new people here,
Speaker 1: which is really neat. Not that we don't love the
Speaker 1: old people. We love all people that are fans of
Speaker 1: the podcast and send questions in but it's nice to
Speaker 1: see some new names and some people that haven't been
Speaker 1: part of it in the past that had something they
Speaker 1: wanted to say. Uh for example, Carl in Philadelphia. By
Speaker 1: the way, the email address is Ben Malor Show on
Speaker 1: Facebook or Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Real
Speaker 1: fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Carl and Philly Wrights.
Speaker 1: He says, Hey, Ben and Danny. Ben, I had a
Speaker 1: question for you. Why did Mason the Millennial get upset
Speaker 1: with you for not talking more about the shooting at
Speaker 1: the Chiefs parade? He says. I listened to you guys
Speaker 1: for lighthearted, sarcastic banter, not hard news stories. I can
Speaker 1: find that elsewhere.
Speaker 4: Thank you. That's carl sarcasm but.
Speaker 1: Never Yeah, so, Carl, I thank you for the email.
Speaker 1: I thank you for listening. Carl, and you'd have to
Speaker 1: address Mason the Millennial. I had mixed reviews on that.
Speaker 1: I made an editorial decision for better or worse, and
Speaker 1: maybe that was the wrong decision, but I felt that
Speaker 1: was something that happened after the parade. It was not
Speaker 1: a sports story, and I chose to focus in on
Speaker 1: sporting type stuff, and I made an editorial decision that
Speaker 1: people tune in to the show to hear that kind
Speaker 1: of content and not the other kind of content. And
Speaker 1: not that I didn't think it was terrible. And I
Speaker 1: have friends in Kansas City. I have people that I
Speaker 1: know who work in radio who their families were at
Speaker 1: the parade. They had to one of my good radio friends.
Speaker 1: His family had to shelter in place because of they
Speaker 1: were so close. They saw people running through the lobby
Speaker 1: of hotel with guns after the police were chasing one
Speaker 1: of the people that were shooting one of the lunatics
Speaker 1: at the parade. So I totally get all that, But
Speaker 1: Carl I made that decision. Mason was upset, and there
Speaker 1: were other people too. There were other people that wanted
Speaker 1: me just to ride that that story and if it bleeds,
Speaker 1: it leads, and I'm not sure what I could have
Speaker 1: added to it. I gave my opinion on it, and
Speaker 1: we moved on and we talked about some other stuff.
Speaker 1: But thank you, Carl Mason. If you're listening and you
Speaker 1: want to send an email to me, I'll pass it
Speaker 1: on a car. I'll pass it on a car. Mike
Speaker 1: in Fullerton writes in he says, Hi, guys, Happy Chinese
Speaker 1: New Year. Ben and Danny g He says, I'm a
Speaker 1: week late, but better late than never. How important is
Speaker 1: your Chinese zodiac animal to you? I was born in
Speaker 1: the Year of the aux and I've always taken a
Speaker 1: lot of pride and that did either of you also
Speaker 1: rent a scooter last week at Radio Row in Vegas?
Speaker 1: Or did you learn from your lesson last year in Arizona?
Speaker 1: Any scooters? I didn't see any scooters around the Mandalay Bay.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: I actually saw one clown who was scootering through the
Speaker 3: Mandalay Bay Casino on scooters inside the casino.
Speaker 1: Seems like a good idea unless it's not. No, I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't see any. But that's a big that's a
Speaker 1: big casino. As far as the sign that I am
Speaker 1: the Rabbit, I'm not proud of that. I'm a little
Speaker 1: embarrassed by that. Mike the Rabbit, I'm not happy. I
Speaker 1: wish I was like the snake or something like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're not like mine.
Speaker 1: Yeah it's not not particularly good, not particularly good at all.
Speaker 1: But what's yours? I'm the year of snuffle up againsts
Speaker 1: stuff ah, I love snuffle up. Yeah, yeah, I would
Speaker 1: have liked to have be an oscar, the grouse that
Speaker 1: would have been.
Speaker 3: I wanted to be count because I thought I was
Speaker 3: a badass because I could count to twenty even when
Speaker 3: I was a tiny little kid.
Speaker 4: Twenty.
Speaker 1: How many animals do they rotate on the Chinese calendar?
Speaker 1: Do they have?
Speaker 4: It's a good question.
Speaker 1: Let's see here, I have it here. It's they've got rat, ox, tiger, rabbit.
Speaker 4: Let's see what else?
Speaker 1: A dragon that would have been a good one dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey.
Speaker 4: Rooster, dog, and pig.
Speaker 3: That's my dad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so twelve they rotate twelve. They go year by
Speaker 1: year and whatnot. So I'm the rabbit and it goes
Speaker 1: on a twelve year rotation. So every twelve years you
Speaker 1: go back around one more time. So the dragon would
Speaker 1: be cool, or the snake. I missed the dragon by
Speaker 1: one year. If I'd only been born a year later,
Speaker 1: I would have been the dragon. Two years later I
Speaker 1: would have been the snake, the goat. You could have
Speaker 1: fun with the goat some of these other ones, saying, eh,
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess rabbit's better than rat. You don't
Speaker 1: want to be a rat that would be very good
Speaker 1: or a pig, a pig. That's kind of lame, but
Speaker 1: thank you, Mike. Appreciate that. Alf the quality control apartment
Speaker 1: checking in our friend, Alf, He says, will you be
Speaker 1: gathering your alumni team of former board ops to help
Speaker 1: you get your new boardop up to speed on operations
Speaker 1: and familiar with all of our favorite drops. You could
Speaker 1: call your team the super Benz.
Speaker 4: It's a great idea, Alf.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this is a concern many of the super
Speaker 1: fans of the show, and you are very worried Sam's quitting.
Speaker 1: He's leaving our show. Can't handle the overnights.
Speaker 3: Sam really know all the drops, though he does never
Speaker 3: did look at it. I'm gonna ease Alf's mind right
Speaker 3: now because the very first thing that I told Loreno,
Speaker 3: who has been filling in a lot on the Covino
Speaker 3: and Rich Show ever since John Ramos left, I told
Speaker 3: her I'm gonna take you into the production studio. I
Speaker 3: am gonna help you build multiple digital walls, and I'm
Speaker 3: gonna put every old school drop that I use on
Speaker 3: the fifth hour on your page and teach you when
Speaker 3: and how to use those drops. And I told her
Speaker 3: how much the mal Or Militia will embrace her if
Speaker 3: she embraces those true drops of the show.
Speaker 1: See there you go, Alf, Danny's gonna be like the Godfather.
Speaker 1: He's gonna he's gonna be the teacher.
Speaker 4: Yep, he'll he'll be Yoda.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then and Ben, I got your I found your
Speaker 3: address because I'm gonna send you the invoice.
Speaker 1: Yeah to Don Martin. He'll take care of my man.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you about my hand. We're one happy
Speaker 1: family here.
Speaker 2: My man.
Speaker 3: If everybody went above and beyond like you, my man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a concerned People have been been kind
Speaker 1: of upset by that because every time we change board ops.
Speaker 3: Which is oh no, she's an eager beaver, all right,
Speaker 3: and she wants to play the right drops. So we're
Speaker 3: dealing with somebody that actually wants to listen and learn.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's half about it. You just want to
Speaker 1: be good. You just want to be good.
Speaker 3: That's all your Yeah, because let's be honest, most of
Speaker 3: the board operators are a bunch of well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it easily distracted is the way I would describe it.
Speaker 1: Alf also says food eat not so fun. He says,
Speaker 1: I tried going for supper to raising canes after work,
Speaker 1: and I went to the next day to Novelle, I
Speaker 1: was not going to wait in that line. He sent
Speaker 1: a photo here of the line. They opened a raising
Speaker 1: canes right near ALF there in Springfield, mass and two
Speaker 1: car wide lane wrapped around the building at three point
Speaker 1: thirty in the afternoon for raising canes. And I don't
Speaker 1: blame you, alf. I love raising canes and I would
Speaker 1: not wait online for that.
Speaker 4: I remember during.
Speaker 1: COVID when every restaurant was shut down, but the drive
Speaker 1: throughs were open, and the line for canes was insane,
Speaker 1: and I tried to wait. I waited for a little bit,
Speaker 1: but then I gave up after about half an hour.
Speaker 4: I just can't wait online like that. I can't.
Speaker 1: And it's cool though that raising canes is getting a
Speaker 1: little bit of that in and out burger vibe where
Speaker 1: people are lined up to eat it. But I'm not
Speaker 1: a line waiter. I don't like waiting online. I don't
Speaker 1: like it at all. Erin in Kansas City rights in
Speaker 1: to the Fifth Hour podcast. Here he says, guys, when
Speaker 1: you guys go out to eat, booth or table with
Speaker 1: your table. So I'll go first on this now. Originally,
Speaker 1: when I was big fat guy, I always did the
Speaker 1: table because I didn't fit in the booth. But now
Speaker 1: that I've lost some weight and I fit in the booth,
Speaker 1: I prefer the booth. So I'm team booth, not team table. Yeah, Danny,
Speaker 1: what's your take? This is a very important question.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll got to be team table now because we
Speaker 3: have a stroller. It was a six month old in there,
Speaker 3: and he's not exactly big enough to sit in a
Speaker 3: high chair. I'm probably coming another month or so, so
Speaker 3: the room that we're in has to have some you
Speaker 3: know space next to a table where we could wheel
Speaker 3: that thing in and not you know, make anybody trip
Speaker 3: and fall into the restaurant.
Speaker 1: Yeah, or maybe you can get one of those billboard
Speaker 1: lawyers all over LA.
Speaker 3: Or speaking of lawyers, Ben, we need one. We were
Speaker 3: at Finney's in Westlake Village, California. We had a baby
Speaker 3: boy out of the stroller and we were holding him,
Speaker 3: and the waitress walk by and spilled pizza grease on
Speaker 3: the baby's head and outfit as she was walking past
Speaker 3: our table.
Speaker 1: What really? Yeah? Really? Now?
Speaker 3: Thank god the pizza grease wasn't hot, because she cleared
Speaker 3: the dishes off of a table and she tipped her
Speaker 3: tray old pizza grease that had been sitting ran all
Speaker 3: over the baby's head, shoulder onto his nice outfit. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and she came back with a couple of wet paper towels.
Speaker 1: That was your solution?
Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you. How about a free dessert and a
Speaker 4: free meal the next time we come.
Speaker 1: It's not good waitressing. That I was a waitress, but
Speaker 1: that does not seem like an effective People make mistakes.
Speaker 1: But that's that's a bit much. Let's see Fred in Spring,
Speaker 1: Texas right since says, hey guys, hey Ben, why isn't
Speaker 1: Benny versus the penny posted on the NBC Sports app,
Speaker 1: I hope the new dogs are working out. Dogs have
Speaker 1: been great TV shows over for this year, and that's
Speaker 1: that's NBC's issue. We was originally supposed to be on
Speaker 1: Peacock and then at the eleventh hour something happened and
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what happened, and it
Speaker 1: did end up on Peacock, but I have talked to
Speaker 1: the people NBC. Hopefully the show will be back next year.
Speaker 1: And if it is back, whether it's on Peacock or
Speaker 1: some streaming service, we need to make sure people have
Speaker 1: more access to it at least I will. I will
Speaker 1: stress that, and then they will laugh at me and
Speaker 1: goof on me, and that'll that'll.
Speaker 2: Be that.
Speaker 1: Scott from the nine to one seven right since says
Speaker 1: before the this is a sporty question. He says, before
Speaker 1: the Cubs were swept in the seven playoffs, lou Panella
Speaker 1: pulled Game one starter Carlos Sembrano because he was bringing
Speaker 1: back a pitcher on three days rest. On Sunday, says, guys,
Speaker 1: I'm curious in your expert unchallenged opinion, do you think
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers will get the third possession in
Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty eight before Carlos Sambrano is fully rested
Speaker 1: to pitch Game four against the seven Diamondbacks. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: do get it. I know where you're going, Scott, tongue
Speaker 1: in cheek, I get it. And this stuff happens all
Speaker 1: the time in sports, all the time. My personal favorite
Speaker 1: recently was when the Dodgers last year, Remember the last
Speaker 1: two months of the season, they started Clayton Kershaw every
Speaker 1: Saturday because they knew the first playoff game that he
Speaker 1: would pitch in was Game one would be on a Saturday.
Speaker 1: The didn't know who they were gonna play, but they
Speaker 1: knew it was on a Saturday. So every Saturday for
Speaker 1: the last two months of the season, so Kershaw he
Speaker 1: pitched one game a week on Saturday to get him
Speaker 1: ready for the playoffs, and so he'd be good to go.
Speaker 1: And you know, just muscle memory, Saturday, you go to
Speaker 1: the mound, you pitch, everything's good. And so they gave
Speaker 1: him the ball and he went out. He took the
Speaker 1: mound and he gave up like six runs in a
Speaker 1: third of an inning. The game was over by the
Speaker 1: time they had to fly over before the game. The
Speaker 1: game was over, and it's like, like, what do you do?
Speaker 1: And then they saved They were they were saving him. Also,
Speaker 1: I remember when Max Schurzer. Max Schurezer was a dodge.
Speaker 1: Remember he couldn't pitch Game six of the NLCS that
Speaker 1: would have forced the Game seven. Said he couldn't make it.
Speaker 3: Man, Yeah, I honestly would rather hear you talk about
Speaker 3: pop tarts than baseball right now.

Speaker 1: Miami Rights In says Ben and Danny. I enjoy I
Speaker 1: enjoyed your super Bowl weekend shows. Was it awkward Ben
Speaker 1: talking to Adrian Peterson considering you have bashed him over
Speaker 1: the years on the radio and and angry Bill called
Speaker 1: up and wanted to injure him on your show?
Speaker 5: What about a nine year old girl?
Speaker 1: Well, I'm pretty confident Adrian had no idea who I was,
Speaker 1: and he did not no no, because I had mentioned
Speaker 1: I interviewed him when he was in college, and he
Speaker 1: didn't seem to give a rat.
Speaker 4: He had a blank stare on his face when you say.
Speaker 1: You looked like, who the hell are you? I have
Speaker 1: no idea who you are? But but yeah, I know
Speaker 1: this listen, that's part of the job. And I was
Speaker 1: not exactly thrilled when I saw the name on the list,
Speaker 1: but I but Adrian was nice and he was you know,
Speaker 1: it was it was a good conversation. So, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't do with that. Should I have?
Speaker 1: Should I have attacked him, Danny? Would that have been better?
Speaker 1: I probably would have made some better headlines.
Speaker 4: I guess.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 3: I mean, at one point in the interview, you said
Speaker 3: that I busted your chops over your birthday party you
Speaker 3: had with the camel, and then right there I inserted
Speaker 3: our famous show drop where you say I want a camel.
Speaker 3: Oh that's yeah, yeah, yeah, And the title of that
Speaker 3: podcast was Adrian Peterson's Camel, I Want a Camel, So
Speaker 3: I alluded to it. You know, It's just I'm sure, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm sure. I mean, that's not the the right time
Speaker 3: or place to get into it with somebody that.
Speaker 1: You know, probably not, probably not the way before you
Speaker 1: plug your sponsor.
Speaker 4: Let me take a couple of cheap shots at you.
Speaker 1: Don't beat me like you beat your kids. I don't
Speaker 1: think that would have know anyway.
Speaker 3: Remember when you asked for his plug sheet, like, who's
Speaker 3: he gonna? Who's he plugging? I told you a new
Speaker 3: a new state of the art belt, a new switch. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that beats the ship out of kids and then erases
Speaker 3: all fingerprints instantly off of the belt.
Speaker 1: Well, if I remember correctly, that Drop and Adrian Peterson
Speaker 1: on a camel led to us getting a camel cake.
Speaker 3: Yes, you remember the camel. I still have pictures of that.
Speaker 3: We had some wild, wild cakes for Yeah, I want
Speaker 3: a camel That Drop is so famous that a cake
Speaker 3: was made after it. Yeah, and trust me that will
Speaker 3: be on Loray his digital wall.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah that was fun. And then the weird thing
Speaker 1: about this era with Sam is like there's a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff that I can say whatever I want now
Speaker 1: because he doesn't like put drops in really, so I
Speaker 1: can say whatever I want and nothing's actually saved right now.
Speaker 4: So I don't like that.
Speaker 3: Because you are one of the hosts here where pushback
Speaker 3: really makes the show work. You need somebody to push back.
Speaker 3: If you just have your way on the air.
Speaker 4: That's not fun.
Speaker 1: No, it's a lot of fun. It's my own way.
Speaker 1: Man God, is that he blew me off at a
Speaker 1: hotel near lax Oh so fun?
Speaker 3: Somebody needs to work out the right hand by playing
Speaker 3: a lot of drops.
Speaker 1: Non, my right hand was getting a workout. Fun fun, fun, fun,
Speaker 1: fun fun fun fun. I was more concerned about him
Speaker 1: giving me a double fish fun my last one. Manny
Speaker 1: from Phoenix writes in says they've been Danny been a
Speaker 1: p one for fourteen years.
Speaker 4: Been and Danny, you have to be ten years too long?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, there says you've been now bent to the
Speaker 1: last three Super Bowls. I'm impressed. I've been a fan
Speaker 1: of years since the day is that they would not
Speaker 1: allow you to leave the building. Will you be in
Speaker 1: New Orleans for Super Bowl fifty nine? No chance, Manny.
Speaker 1: I think it would take three or four days to
Speaker 1: drive from LA to New Orleans. So unless the company
Speaker 1: decides to send me there, I ain't going to New Orleans.
Speaker 1: That ain't happening, So I don't think you have to
Speaker 1: worry about that. I've never been to New Orleans. Actually
Speaker 1: I actually would like to go, and I think next
Speaker 1: week or not next week next year for the super Bowl?
Speaker 1: Isn't it the week? Did they time it out where
Speaker 1: it's the week of Fat Tuesday and all that? Is
Speaker 1: it the same week or is it after the super Bowl?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I don't think it's the same week.
Speaker 1: Oh it's not the same week.
Speaker 4: Goko. That would be too much debauchery.
Speaker 1: That would be too much for one town to handle. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I will not be enormous. But I think the year
Speaker 1: after that it's back in the West all time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, maybe if you talk to the
Speaker 3: two bosses now a year in advance, you can get
Speaker 3: your plane ticket and everything taken care of.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good idea. I get back and bring
Speaker 1: it up. Say, you know, in New Orleans, I know
Speaker 1: some really good Kchun restaurants. I used to work with paddle'brien.
Speaker 1: There's a Paddlebrian's down. Is that place still there, paddle Brian?
