Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House of
Speaker 1: hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
Speaker 1: with Ben Maller starts right now in the air every
Speaker 1: way it is the Fifth Hour with I, Ben Mallor
Speaker 1: and Danny G Radio. Because four hours a night are
Speaker 1: not enough, we do this eight days a week and
Speaker 1: a Friday podcast. Now. Normally on Friday we have someone
Speaker 1: in here and I shoot the crap with them and
Speaker 1: someone who either I know or I want to get
Speaker 1: to know a little bit better. But this week is different.
Speaker 1: This is not like the normal week. Well, now, that's right,
Speaker 1: because by popular demand, the listeners of the Fifth Hour
Speaker 1: podcasts have said, Mallard, nobody wants to hear these interviews
Speaker 1: every week. We need more Danny G Radio. Clamoring for
Speaker 1: more Danny G Radio after he gave that amazing story
Speaker 1: last week of the the head Tinderoni there jumps up
Speaker 1: onto the massage table, straddles my girl sits on my
Speaker 1: girl's rare end, is going to town on her and
Speaker 1: and was kept slapping her, even slapped her ass. What
Speaker 1: went wrong at the massage parlor? So, by popular demand,
Speaker 1: an entire weekend of Danny g with Me on the
Speaker 1: fifth hour. So Danny, give the people what they want. Danny,
Speaker 1: give them what they want here. I guess that's what
Speaker 1: happens when you tell NC seventeen rated stories. Yeah, here
Speaker 1: I am Danny. I'm thinking, boy, I I really nailed
Speaker 1: it on that podcast. You know, it was a great
Speaker 1: pod and no, it was, Oh my god, I love Dandy.
Speaker 1: That was the greatest story ever and on all that
Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, what about me? You know, what
Speaker 1: about me? And nothing really cares about you. All about
Speaker 1: Danny j It's all about that X rated. They loved,
Speaker 1: they loved that story. Danny was amazed. We're only here
Speaker 1: because of you. And now my tender rowning asked me
Speaker 1: if she should make another appointment so that we have
Speaker 1: more content. She used the word content too. It's good
Speaker 1: she's in the business now, she's bias Moses. She's learning
Speaker 1: about all of the craziness that happens in all the
Speaker 1: US nonsense. That surprised motherfucker is rather crazy. But anyway,
Speaker 1: on this edition of the Fifth Hour, we've got uh
Speaker 1: stories from the last few days and whatnot, more of that,
Speaker 1: whatever pops I got, I've got Indiana Jones, Weird Science
Speaker 1: will tell a tale about avocados. We've got song Time
Speaker 1: and Cutting Room Floriday. This is an amazing amount of content,
Speaker 1: absolutely free. Nobody had to pay a dollar for that.
Speaker 1: What you actually have to have a device to hear it,
Speaker 1: but you have that anyway, right, So you know what
Speaker 1: I want to talk about on this Friday morning, Davante Adams. Yeah, Ben,
Speaker 1: you've been preaching because of your rams about how draft
Speaker 1: picks don't matter, and I know it's not what we
Speaker 1: do on this podcast, so I'm sure you'll talk about
Speaker 1: it on Sunday night. But you did tweet about how
Speaker 1: Adams to the Raiders bumped March Madness from the front page.
Speaker 1: It was wonderful. Yeah, And you tweeted how Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: Brackett was broken. Um, but you forgot to tweet about
Speaker 1: how the Raiders are now one of the Super Bowl favorites.
Speaker 1: Calm down, Calm down that baby, all right, So we'll
Speaker 1: start with this. The other night, it was a normal
Speaker 1: night at Casa mallor the Mallard mansion. All all stories
Speaker 1: started out like there was just a normal night and
Speaker 1: then one thing, let do another and a normal night
Speaker 1: became abnormal. The abnormal was now normal. So let me
Speaker 1: explain what happened. So, um, you know, these are these
Speaker 1: are first world radio problems. So imagine if you I'm
Speaker 1: just normally preparing for the show like I I do.
Speaker 1: I have a routine, I have a cadence. I've been
Speaker 1: doing this for a long time. Not that I'm great
Speaker 1: at it, but I kind of have the same routine
Speaker 1: every day. Certain parts of the day, I do certain things,
Speaker 1: and I got everything down. I get any set. I
Speaker 1: changed my schedule a couple of years ago when we
Speaker 1: started doing the show from the home studio, and so
Speaker 1: I have that down now. I'm very comfortable. I I
Speaker 1: have my routine and so I'm doing my normal thing.
Speaker 1: You're like a well oiled machine exactly exactly. So I'm
Speaker 1: I'm ready to do my thing. And on the normal
Speaker 1: MIDWEKND and so I'm getting ready, I kind of map
Speaker 1: out the show in my head. I have an idea.
Speaker 1: I start out with a lot of possibilities, and then,
Speaker 1: as you know Danny from doing this a long time,
Speaker 1: you kind of whittle things down. It's like starting with
Speaker 1: a block of wood and you kind of wheel stuff
Speaker 1: away and you're like, all right, what do I want
Speaker 1: to make this to be? What make it your masterpiece?
Speaker 1: And so I'm doing that. I had a pretty good
Speaker 1: idea of what I wanted to go with, and I
Speaker 1: started jotting down some chicken scratch for the monologue notes
Speaker 1: for the monologues, and I I got to the point
Speaker 1: in the process, trust the process. As they say in Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: that weasel Sam Hankey, so the old GM there. So anyway,
Speaker 1: so I was like, all I'm good. And there's a
Speaker 1: term we use from time to time. It's called, you know,
Speaker 1: putting the baby to bed. And that's the point where
Speaker 1: you've done everything you can do for the show. You've
Speaker 1: got everything ready, you're prepared. Now you just have to
Speaker 1: wait for showtime and you he got some time. Possibly
Speaker 1: you'll kill it's your industry jargon, put the baby to bed.
Speaker 1: So I had finished my copious amounts of research, I
Speaker 1: had everything mapped out, I had a great battle plan,
Speaker 1: and the sun Zoo The Art of War, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna settle in and I like to, you know, before
Speaker 1: the show, I'd like to settle in, and I'm a loser.
Speaker 1: I watched some NBA games. I flip around, watch some
Speaker 1: NBA games whatever, whatever sports are on. It happened to
Speaker 1: me that night NBA was on there a couple of games,
Speaker 1: and so I'm watching and then boom, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's a five alarm fire bell sounding. What
Speaker 1: is this? What is this? Lights and sirens in our world?
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman had agreed to sign a contract with the
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Dodgers, which meant my mapping of the show
Speaker 1: well didn't go so well, so I had to had
Speaker 1: to add live Daddy had to do some improv. And
Speaker 1: it's one of the great quotes from Indiana Jones with
Speaker 1: my memorable movies when I was a kid. Remember that
Speaker 1: scene from Indiana Jones where Indiana somebody asked Indie, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, what are you gonna do next? And his
Speaker 1: reply was, I don't know, I'm making it up as
Speaker 1: we go along. And that was kind of, you know,
Speaker 1: just kind of free. So I'm not I was excited.
Speaker 1: I was happy, I'm a Dodger fan, You're a Dodger fan.
Speaker 1: So I was happy about all this, but still I
Speaker 1: was like, I was texting the guys. I was like,
Speaker 1: couldn't this happen? Like, you know, four o'clock in the afternoon,
Speaker 1: five o'clock, six o'clock, seven o'clock, didn't have to happen
Speaker 1: right before the show. And well, it did have to
Speaker 1: happen right before the show, and it did happen. And
Speaker 1: so this happens every once. I'm normally doing the overnight show.
Speaker 1: There's not much. Things usually shut down when the East
Speaker 1: Coach shut down. That's mostly when things shut down. So, now,
Speaker 1: did you get covered up for the first hour of
Speaker 1: your show by the flamethrower A M five seventy l
Speaker 1: A Sports? Did they bring Steve Saxon? I used to
Speaker 1: worry about that stuff, but I have not. I've not
Speaker 1: spent too much time. I just do my stay stay in,
Speaker 1: you're light and uh so I don't worry. Sometimes we've
Speaker 1: gotten covered up by Clipper postgame talk that's happened occasionally.
Speaker 1: That the NBA games seem to be ending sooner um,
Speaker 1: but yeah, we're guaranteed. Like during baseball season, on our
Speaker 1: flagship in l A and five seventy Dodger station. We
Speaker 1: are guaranteed there'll be one or two games in San
Speaker 1: Diego or San Francisco or Colorado, Arizona that will go
Speaker 1: until two in the morning. The entire show will be
Speaker 1: covered up by you know, raining, They'll be raining, not
Speaker 1: in Arizona, but in San Francisco, Colorado, or or l
Speaker 1: or San Diego. So that's guaranteed. Happened, But yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. It was. It was interesting, interesting night and
Speaker 1: hopefully Freddie Freeman works out. Well, it ain't my money,
Speaker 1: so good luck, and I think for the next couple
Speaker 1: of years it should be good. After that, you know,
Speaker 1: that's somebody else's problem right there. We don't need to
Speaker 1: worry about. Man. I wanted to go to the MLB
Speaker 1: All Star Game this year since it's here in l A.
Speaker 1: What are those tickets gonna look like? Now? Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I'm hoping to go to that and not in the media,
Speaker 1: but my man, Marlin's Man. A couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: Marlin's Man invited me to the All Star Game at
Speaker 1: Dodger Staffs sit right behind him at home plate. We
Speaker 1: had it all planned out and then that freaking COVID
Speaker 1: thing took place, and then that shut it down. So
Speaker 1: I'm hoping. I'm still texting Marlins man from time to time,
Speaker 1: so we're still a casual friends. He'll send me messages
Speaker 1: from random college basketball games he's hat or whatever, so
Speaker 1: I'm hoping we're good. I'm hoping, but I don't think
Speaker 1: he responded last time. When Derek Jeter left the Marlins,
Speaker 1: I sent him a text saying you're my pick to
Speaker 1: be the new new Marlins executive. He didn't respond. I
Speaker 1: think he might have been upset by that. So I hope.
Speaker 1: I hope we're still on good terms. But but I
Speaker 1: don't know, no idea what you're trying to keep that
Speaker 1: bottle of milk warm? Yeah, you know, I just check in,
Speaker 1: just see what's going on from time, But he'll he'll
Speaker 1: send me like random Martin's Man, I'll send me a
Speaker 1: random messages from time. No, it's just kind of cool,
Speaker 1: you know. It's it's nice that he's thinking about me.
Speaker 1: All right, So weird science. So we go to the
Speaker 1: bag of email. Early this week, Danny a little bag
Speaker 1: of email earlier than normal here, and this one came
Speaker 1: from Alex in the Netherlands. Alex in the Netherlands. He says, Ben,
Speaker 1: thanks for the shout out about a month back. He's
Speaker 1: been listening, Danny, to the nonsense that I have done
Speaker 1: and you have been part of for a long time,
Speaker 1: sixteen plus years. He's still listening. He and Alex has
Speaker 1: a very interesting story. I've talked about him a few
Speaker 1: times over the years. But he does high level in
Speaker 1: his own words, he does high level science research. It's
Speaker 1: not trigonometry. And he has lived all over Europe and
Speaker 1: all over the world and he does the scientific research.
Speaker 1: And he says he loves the crew and the collars.
Speaker 1: He said, now he I think he was in Germany
Speaker 1: before he now in the Netherlands. And he said some
Speaker 1: nice things to me that he said, grew up in
Speaker 1: southern California and Laguna Beach, so he's an O C
Speaker 1: guy like I am. And uh, he did offer. And
Speaker 1: this is interesting. The reason I brought this up, Danny,
Speaker 1: you know, weird science and all that. He says, let
Speaker 1: me know if you ever need a quantum physics expert,
Speaker 1: keep on entertainings. Alex in the Netherlands. And so it
Speaker 1: got me thinking, Danny, I mean I did respond to Alex.
Speaker 1: I did right back to him. I don't know if
Speaker 1: he's written back or not. Maybe I missed it, but
Speaker 1: he I said to him and said, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: I put you on, but you gotta be relatable to
Speaker 1: the you know, the meat head sports radioist. You gotta
Speaker 1: can you dumb it down enough? That's the key. If
Speaker 1: he could do it, I'd love to have him on.
Speaker 1: If he could explain. And I'm not that bright either,
Speaker 1: If you could explain to me and make me understand
Speaker 1: the kind of stuff that he's involved in, I think
Speaker 1: that would be pretty interesting. I'd like to learn more
Speaker 1: about that. But if he's gonna talk a bunch of
Speaker 1: science mumbo jumbo, I don't know if that's gonna be
Speaker 1: uh something we want to be part of. Right, he
Speaker 1: could help us get Kelly Lebron out of our home computer,
Speaker 1: then we'd be interested. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe he's
Speaker 1: dealing with like nuclear codes or something like that. I
Speaker 1: don't know what he's got going on. I have no idea,
Speaker 1: but he's he's got stuff going on there, and it's
Speaker 1: it's sounds interesting to me. That's a pretty impressive title.
Speaker 1: Quantum physics. My head spins just thinking about my eyeballs
Speaker 1: go to the back of my head thinking about quantum physics.
Speaker 1: But that's the world he's in. That's his world, and
Speaker 1: and it's outstanding. I love that that guys like that
Speaker 1: listen and I get emails some people like this every
Speaker 1: once in a while that are that are fans, and
Speaker 1: then you know, you you juxtapose that with the people
Speaker 1: that call the show, and it's fascinating dichotomy between you know,
Speaker 1: the certain people that there are are the casual listeners,
Speaker 1: but they don't they don't contribute content usually, and then
Speaker 1: the people that call all the time. So it's kind
Speaker 1: of like when we will watch something where you don't
Speaker 1: have to have your brain on whatsoever, like a bad
Speaker 1: reality show or sixty Day marriage or something like that,
Speaker 1: it makes you feel normal and better about yourself because
Speaker 1: you're watching all these losers on that TV show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure, for sure. Now I did get another email
Speaker 1: that I don't know if I want to get into
Speaker 1: this now, maybe we'll stay here for later. But this
Speaker 1: guy's like he thinks that there was this guy that
Speaker 1: used to email the show when Gascon was on the podcast,
Speaker 1: and he named I'm a pilot, and he would tell
Speaker 1: these stories about he flew to like China during COVID
Speaker 1: early on, and he had he got put in quarantine
Speaker 1: on a Chinese hotel and he got taken by people
Speaker 1: in space suits and amazing stories. And so there's there's
Speaker 1: a guy that's been emailing me saying that guy's a fake,
Speaker 1: that was gascon pretending to be I'm a Pilot, and
Speaker 1: I was a I don't believe it was because I
Speaker 1: the guy had emailed me. He hadn't emailed in a
Speaker 1: long time. I unless, I mean, guess maybe he's diabolical
Speaker 1: and had a different email coup. But I'm sure I
Speaker 1: know information about I'm a Pilot. I will try to
Speaker 1: get ahold of him, just to see what's going on
Speaker 1: with him, because he's not emailed the show. But I
Speaker 1: do not believe that is a As much as I'd
Speaker 1: love to believe that that that's guests gone pretending to
Speaker 1: be I'm a Pilot, I do not believe that to
Speaker 1: be true. Guess guys west of the four or five
Speaker 1: and all that loves to brag about that stuff, very
Speaker 1: pompous and all that, but even that's a bridge too far.
Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna start a fake email account
Speaker 1: and pretend to be, you know, a pilot and send
Speaker 1: photos and it seems a lot. That's a lot of
Speaker 1: extra work that you don't need to do. So anyway,
Speaker 1: So the avocados, the price of avocados, The price of
Speaker 1: everything's gone up, including avocados. We have a tale of avocados.
Speaker 1: What is this all about, day, Well, it might surprise
Speaker 1: you how I get to the avocados. It's more about
Speaker 1: the drop that we use on the show Racist. Oh cool,
Speaker 1: of course you're very popular. Oh yeah, you hear the
Speaker 1: drop right there? Out of context racist drops. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: like the white cheeto puffs. Yes, yes, exactly. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that drop will come into play on our show from
Speaker 1: time to time. So you know, this past week, starting Monday,
Speaker 1: was the first day in California that masks were optional
Speaker 1: at all of our schools. Thank god. Oh yeah, we
Speaker 1: talked about this a little bit last weekend. I go
Speaker 1: to the kindergarteners at lunchtime and I'm thinking of myself, Man, today,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun because these kids have no filters.
Speaker 1: They don't know what I look like. This is like
Speaker 1: an episode of the Twilight Zone where everyone's like wearing masks.
Speaker 1: Remember that episode? Maybe not. I'm a I'm a nerd.
Speaker 1: I used to watch The Twilight Zone as a kid.
Speaker 1: But they had an episode where like everyone was a
Speaker 1: merry mask and then they, if I remember it correctly
Speaker 1: as I remember, they pulled the mask off and then
Speaker 1: they had like weird faces, were looking faces, and they
Speaker 1: didn't look normal. It was a while well yeah, and
Speaker 1: it was super strange because I swear to god, there
Speaker 1: were co workers I had never seen their faces before. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I'm looking at certain people and I'm like, that's
Speaker 1: what he looks like, that's what she looks like. It
Speaker 1: was just so odd. I get out to the campus.
Speaker 1: I had my bit already prepared in my mind. I said, Okay,
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do with these little kindergarteners is when
Speaker 1: they start talking to me, I'm gonna play it off
Speaker 1: like I don't recognize them until I cover up with
Speaker 1: my hand their mouth in their lower nose area, so
Speaker 1: you know, oh, now, okay, oh that's good. That's a smart.
Speaker 1: That's a smart And then all of a sudden, you
Speaker 1: like Rick Flair yea. So they were loving that bit.
Speaker 1: They're laughing there talking to me, and I'm like, who
Speaker 1: are you. I've never met you before. Oh wait a second,
Speaker 1: And then I'd stick my hand in front of their
Speaker 1: mouth and I'm like, oh, it's you, okay, um let
Speaker 1: her laugh and they get a kick out of that.
Speaker 1: But they're staring at me. They're like, you you have
Speaker 1: a beard. You. I thought you were older. I thought
Speaker 1: you were younger. I thought this. I thought that it
Speaker 1: was just so funny to hear all of them and
Speaker 1: all of their commentary based on the fact that they
Speaker 1: could finally see our ugly faces. So there's one girl
Speaker 1: and I've mentioned her on the show before because Aria
Speaker 1: has no filter. She looks at me and she says,
Speaker 1: I didn't know you were Spanish. And there's a girl
Speaker 1: named Phoebe sitting right next to her, and she looks
Speaker 1: at me with straight face and she says, does that
Speaker 1: mean you like avocados? Racist? I have no filter, no
Speaker 1: filter filter, And the only thing I could think of,
Speaker 1: there's that TV commercial about avocados from Mexico. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: avocados from Mexico. Yes, yes, that's the only thing I
Speaker 1: could think that she was connecting the dots with because
Speaker 1: why else would she ask if I liked avocados, that's wonderful.
Speaker 1: The kids say that that Cosby show. We can't say
Speaker 1: that because Cosby has been canceled, but rightfully so. But
Speaker 1: the the kids say that darned is things you're living
Speaker 1: that life didn't. There's a little boy who was at
Speaker 1: the same table named Evan, and he caught onto the
Speaker 1: avocado thing. So all week long he followed me around
Speaker 1: asking me about avocados. Avocado Did you just start making
Speaker 1: stuff up like wild stories about how old are these kids?
Speaker 1: Like roughly, what do we what do we look at?
Speaker 1: How what age are there? Seventeen? Yeah, hold on, surprise, surprise,
Speaker 1: Yeah they're five years old. Okay, yeah, yeah, So that's
Speaker 1: great and they'll they'll reset, right, I mean usually kids
Speaker 1: they have that childhood amnesia. What like, what's your earliest memory.
Speaker 1: We've talked about this from time to time, but my
Speaker 1: earliest memory maybe he's around five, but I like vague
Speaker 1: memories of that. I I know they have said, I've
Speaker 1: had studies on this where they say, well, kids actually
Speaker 1: remember everything that just kind of filed in the back
Speaker 1: of their their brain and stuff, and it's still kind
Speaker 1: of there, but you don't. It's not in the front
Speaker 1: of your memory like the front of my memory probably
Speaker 1: you know, eight or nine. I remember I have really
Speaker 1: good memories of everything from that point on in my life.
Speaker 1: I would say, what about you. Yeah, I have a
Speaker 1: memory of being at Disneyland. And when I told my
Speaker 1: mom about it, she was like, you were like maybe
Speaker 1: two and a half. How do you remember that? Um?
Speaker 1: But it was because they put me up in that
Speaker 1: Dumbo ride and she was holding me. My little head
Speaker 1: sticking out of that Dumbo ride. And I remember at
Speaker 1: day clearly. Back then at Disneyland, they had a room
Speaker 1: that you would go into and there was a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of different telephones, different characters, Disney characters pictures next
Speaker 1: to each phone, and you picked up that phone and
Speaker 1: the character was talking to you on the phone. I
Speaker 1: thought that ship was real. I'm on the phone. I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: Mickey Mouse is on this phone. I was all in man,
Speaker 1: I thought that was real for sure. Um, that's my
Speaker 1: earliest memory. That's great. I love I My first memory
Speaker 1: that I I you know, recall with clarity. I was
Speaker 1: on the school bus coming home and they had the
Speaker 1: radio on on the school bus and the driver was
Speaker 1: really kind of freaked out. And it was the day
Speaker 1: that Ronald Reagan had been shot. And I remember like
Speaker 1: running in to tell my mom, like, hey, the president
Speaker 1: was shot like that, and I didn't really know what
Speaker 1: that meant, but I just knew that the bus driver
Speaker 1: was freaking out and there was like emergency programming on
Speaker 1: the radio. And I still have very clear like memories
Speaker 1: of getting on the school bus hearing on the way
Speaker 1: home the you know, the radio reports and all that
Speaker 1: the guy in the radio and the you know, the
Speaker 1: people on their yapping about that, and then the bus driver,
Speaker 1: you know, turning up the sound to here here with
Speaker 1: the guy in the radio is saying about that, which
Speaker 1: maybe in some weird way to help me lead lead
Speaker 1: to my career. But I do remember that, I do
Speaker 1: recall that you were breaking news even back then. Yes, yes, Penny,
Speaker 1: the news breaker and unless I wasn't, but those days,
Speaker 1: you really that's way you got the news was from
Speaker 1: the radio. Like there was no internet like ye to
Speaker 1: wait for the newspaper the next day, or you would
Speaker 1: get it on radio or television. That was it old media.
Speaker 1: But yeah, word of mouth or as Ludicrous would say,
Speaker 1: word of mouth. We had the AP wire when we
Speaker 1: were kids in radio. Yes, yes, I love it. But
Speaker 1: that was like the coolest thing when I started in
Speaker 1: San Diego at the Extra Sports was the the high
Speaker 1: speed sports wires Hackstock called it, and they had had
Speaker 1: the sports ticker on one side in the newsroom and
Speaker 1: the AP news wire, and they wasted so much paper
Speaker 1: because they'd print, you know, the sports sticker would print
Speaker 1: everything up and it was a nightmare. It would NonStop,
Speaker 1: just keep printing and printing and printing and printing and printing.
Speaker 1: But that was the news. Yeah, it was the interns
Speaker 1: job to keep putting new boxes of paper there and
Speaker 1: connecting it to the printer. Then us like I was
Speaker 1: a rookie, so it was my opportunity to kind of
Speaker 1: be a producer. I would rip the pages apart and
Speaker 1: then with a highlighter, I would highlight anything that was
Speaker 1: good for our format, and then you had to bring
Speaker 1: that into the on air personalities. Yeah. So my job
Speaker 1: at six ninety when I was working for Haxall when
Speaker 1: I first started there, he this is this is pathet.
Speaker 1: It was like the Ghoul Report. And I remember because
Speaker 1: there'd be race car drivers open wheel race car drivers
Speaker 1: from Europe. There was a guy forgetting the name, but
Speaker 1: I remember the story. He had gotten into a terrible
Speaker 1: accident and it looked like he was going to die,
Speaker 1: and so hacks All he made me monitor this on
Speaker 1: the on the wire because he wanted me to run
Speaker 1: in with the bulletin if he had he had died,
Speaker 1: because he wanted to break the story on the show
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So I remember getting you know,
Speaker 1: you know, a P bulletin one, a P bulletin update
Speaker 1: to you know, that kind of stuff they would send
Speaker 1: out back back in the day. But yeah, that was
Speaker 1: the Internet. I was like, that was the beginning stages
Speaker 1: for our purposes. But it's kind a little better since then,
Speaker 1: just a little bit. We evolved into the NFL book them, Yeah,
Speaker 1: which we have not done. We still need to do
Speaker 1: that on the Overnight show. It will do it. Uh
Speaker 1: this this coming. I'm a two time champion, back to back. Well,
Speaker 1: I I won my share. I've won my share of
Speaker 1: the NFL Book. I had twenty fifteen Steen title holder.
Speaker 1: There you go, congratulations, congratulations. Uh So I wanted to

Speaker 1: buddy Ohio Owl. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'll
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time on that. I like it.
Speaker 1: A drop, a p loser there. That was highlighting many
Speaker 1: of the drops, many of the favorite drops on the show.
Speaker 1: So we have a little time left. Pivot away from
Speaker 1: Ohio Owl's song. And we mentioned the cutting room floor,
Speaker 1: So I thought, since normally on Friday we bring somebody
Speaker 1: in here and ask a bunch of questions and shoot
Speaker 1: the crap and all that stuff. But the cutting room
Speaker 1: floor so stuff we planned to get to during the
Speaker 1: radio show. However, we ran out of time, and so
Speaker 1: think of this as a trip to the refrigerator for
Speaker 1: leftover spaghetti or something like that. And so just a
Speaker 1: few stories that we would have brought up Danny on
Speaker 1: the overnight show, but because of timing reasons, we didn't
Speaker 1: get to. Uh, And we'll start with this the expensive
Speaker 1: cardboard story. Did you see Nan that Drake spent over
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand dollars on basketball cards trying to pull
Speaker 1: a very rare card out. I did see this. Yeah, Now,
Speaker 1: I know Drake's got a lot of money. But these
Speaker 1: these boxes, this NBA Panini, uh, these these I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not into the cards right now. I've gotten out
Speaker 1: of the business. I mean, I still have a bunch
Speaker 1: I gotta go through. But the the NBA Panini flawless
Speaker 1: sports cards. Each box sells for like fifteen thousand dollars, jeez,
Speaker 1: and contains ten cards. Ten cards. The math on that
Speaker 1: is not it could be great. Um So anyway, he
Speaker 1: spent over two hundred thousand dollars and for unopened NBA cards,
Speaker 1: and he was going through them and trying to find
Speaker 1: trying to find gold. The problem I had with this, Dan,
Speaker 1: is you already have gold. You're Drake, You're rich. Isn't
Speaker 1: this something that somebody who's kind of looking to win
Speaker 1: the lottery would do? You know what I mean? This
Speaker 1: is just a rich person who's bored. Right, you start
Speaker 1: lighting bills on fire, you like baseball, basketball and football
Speaker 1: cards on fire. I remember when my older brother would
Speaker 1: get like a San Francisco Giants player and a pack
Speaker 1: of baseball cards. He would light it on fire. I'm
Speaker 1: not kidding you, Piro, and my mom caught him doing
Speaker 1: it one time, and she's like, I swear to God,
Speaker 1: if you burn the neighborhood down because you don't like
Speaker 1: the San Francisco Giants, you are gonna grounded for a week.
Speaker 1: Uh So, now you're gonna have to burn the Jack
Speaker 1: Peterson card. I saw Jock sign with the Giants this week.
Speaker 1: Douchebag Pearl wearing burnt orange. He's an enemy combatant and
Speaker 1: he's got the Jack Pearson's got the reputation of being
Speaker 1: a good playoff player. He was a bunch of homers
Speaker 1: with the Dodgers. He was terrible for the Braves in
Speaker 1: the World Series about this past year. They won, but
Speaker 1: as I remember, he was lousy in the place. He's
Speaker 1: from northern California, though he's a North count guy, so
Speaker 1: he's going back home. But good luck to Drake with
Speaker 1: those basketball cards. I guess last year Zion Williamson. One
Speaker 1: of those cards sold for two hundred thirty three thousand
Speaker 1: dollars last The card business, though I have complained about
Speaker 1: this in the past, it's such a racket that the
Speaker 1: company you would like to work for are the grading people.
Speaker 1: They're the ones that make all the money. Guaranteed to
Speaker 1: make their money. The people that grade the cards. He's
Speaker 1: a waiting line for those guys. Yeah, that's one of
Speaker 1: the problems. I got a whole bunch of cards that
Speaker 1: I would some of them might need to get graded
Speaker 1: to sell. I'm like, I don't even want to. You
Speaker 1: gotta spend money to do it. It's big pain in
Speaker 1: the ass, big pain in It took us all right,
Speaker 1: We've got limited time here, limited time. You want dumb money?
Speaker 1: Lots of camels? Which one picked your poison? Your dad? Oh,
Speaker 1: we have a famous drop we used to play on
Speaker 1: the live show of you saying I want a camel.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. And uh, this is a great
Speaker 1: camel story. It comes from Tracy McGrady better known as
Speaker 1: t MAC back in the day, and he he recently
Speaker 1: shared a story that I had not heard, but maybe
Speaker 1: you've heard of it, but I had not heard of it.
Speaker 1: And so he said years ago, back in his salad days, uh,
Speaker 1: that he went to cut her on a trip the
Speaker 1: NBA had sent to him and Carmelo, Anthony Clay Thompson
Speaker 1: and Luke Walton. So they took a trip over there
Speaker 1: to promote the World Cup and so they were all
Speaker 1: there and while they were in Cutter, McGrady says he
Speaker 1: was asked whether they wanted to do some camel racing.
Speaker 1: M hm. And so here's Tracy McGrady at the time,
Speaker 1: big NBA you know, legend, Mellow, Clay Thompson, Luke Walton,
Speaker 1: all these guys and yeah, exactly. And so McGrady told
Speaker 1: the stories. He says, hey, we'll go see the camel race,
Speaker 1: and and they were They asked the NBA guys, do
Speaker 1: you want to participate? Team Mack told the stories, what
Speaker 1: do you mean by that? So anyway, they go down
Speaker 1: to the track, as t Mac tells the story, and
Speaker 1: they are on the runway and the camels are over
Speaker 1: on the side, and then all these NBA guys are
Speaker 1: given remote controls by one of the people from the track.
Speaker 1: They're in Cutter, and they're like hey, uh, and the
Speaker 1: guys are like, what are these remotes? And so apparently
Speaker 1: what they do in that part of the world they
Speaker 1: have he said, a little They got a little man
Speaker 1: on the camel, according to Team Mac, with a whip,
Speaker 1: and so they they hand a remote control to these
Speaker 1: dudes and then based on how you use the remote
Speaker 1: control you the little dude on the camel, which I
Speaker 1: assume as robotic, right, I would think right, and I yeah.
Speaker 1: And then based on how many times you hit the remote,
Speaker 1: the camel gets whipped and that's how they race the
Speaker 1: the camel. Well, he got whipped a lot in his career.
Speaker 1: He did at the end. Yeah, that's fore he probably
Speaker 1: knew how to use that. I was in an elevator
Speaker 1: with Team Mac he was playing for the Rockets. I'll
Speaker 1: never forget it. It was, you know, he didn't he
Speaker 1: had been a big star with their Lando and he
Speaker 1: went to the Rocket. He just still well known because
Speaker 1: a little penny things and all that. But in the
Speaker 1: elevator at then Staples Center, he was complaining because he
Speaker 1: had to meet like some do some sponsorship thing and
Speaker 1: he was I don't want to do he was complaining.
Speaker 1: It was so funny and uh, like you probably I'm
Speaker 1: staying in my head, I'm thinking, you're probably gonna get
Speaker 1: paid more in for this like ten fifteen minutes sponsor
Speaker 1: thing you gotta do. Then I want to be making
Speaker 1: for like two years. But he really was having a
Speaker 1: bad day. He did not want to do the sponsor gig.
Speaker 1: Get at all. So they do you think camel racing
Speaker 1: will be there? For I know they've gotten rid of
Speaker 1: dog racing in most of America, but that in the
Speaker 1: Middle East, camel racing. I'm sure there's dog racing a
Speaker 1: lot of places around around the world. I know we
Speaker 1: used to have found very humane. No, no, but the
Speaker 1: rest of the world is not woke or any of
Speaker 1: that stuff. There they don't care about that. Uh well,
Speaker 1: I say the rest of the the the non western world,
Speaker 1: they're more into there, you know, having a good time
Speaker 1: and all. Did he say how much he used the remote?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, he said, he he went, you know,
Speaker 1: he's a fool. He said he kept hitting the remote,
Speaker 1: tearing the camel's ass up. But he did say a
Speaker 1: team back that he won the race. So his camel
Speaker 1: won the race. But then, of course I probably had
Speaker 1: to be put down or something like that. Anyway, all right,
Speaker 1: that's it on that note. What a way to end
Speaker 1: what you know, there's one other thing. I did want
Speaker 1: to bring one other thing up, which never goes well
Speaker 1: for me. I didn't want your last sentence to be
Speaker 1: tear that camel's out. I remember the camel cake. That
Speaker 1: was awesome. That camel that was It was awesome from
Speaker 1: the cake benefactor years and years ago. But Buck Ball,
Speaker 1: I love this quote, Buck show Walter, manager of the Mets.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to this. We didn't get to it
Speaker 1: on the show. So Buck show Walter was asked by
Speaker 1: one of the Met Beat writers, are you gonna put
Speaker 1: up those motivational quotes, encouragement posts and all that stuff
Speaker 1: in the you know, in the in the the Mets clubhouse.
Speaker 1: Now were you at Fox Sports Radio and the Andrew
Speaker 1: Ashwood or at Danny were you there when he was around?
Speaker 1: Just after word? Okay, just after so Andrew was our boss.
Speaker 1: He was a big believer, great man, big burly man.
Speaker 1: Andrew Ashwood loved him, very nice man. Radio pro d
Speaker 1: J went into management. You always loved the management guys
Speaker 1: that used to be on the air because they get you.
Speaker 1: They understand that. I heard he actually gave raises. Yes,
Speaker 1: I didn't get one, but other people did. They got
Speaker 1: big extensions. And Andrew had been very sick and he
Speaker 1: was very generous. He kind of knew the end was
Speaker 1: near and on his way out he took care of
Speaker 1: some people. Give him a big, big raises and it
Speaker 1: was wonderful. What a wonderful gesture by by Andrew Ashwood.
Speaker 1: But so Andrew, he used to put up quotes from
Speaker 1: Lombardi and all these different people. He loved the Packers,
Speaker 1: so he put a lot of quotes of Lombardi up
Speaker 1: around Fox Sports Radio. And so that was his thing.
Speaker 1: And I I thought of him because of Buck show
Speaker 1: author who said he does not like the random famous
Speaker 1: quotes of encouragement posted around. You know, encourage are the
Speaker 1: employees and all that, And I gotta kick out of
Speaker 1: it because it was such a perfect quote for New York.
Speaker 1: Buck show All to the new manager of the Mets says,
Speaker 1: if it was up to him, he would have only
Speaker 1: one sign in the Mets locker room and it would
Speaker 1: have two words on it. What do you think that
Speaker 1: sign would say, Danny? What do you think, oh man
Speaker 1: for the Mets, for the Mets, the New York Metropolitans
Speaker 1: don't suck. Well, Actually that is that's a reference to
Speaker 1: Joe matt Remember Joe Madden. Oh No, we shock again.
Speaker 1: He put that up in the in the Cubs clubhouse
Speaker 1: back in the day, right, Buck Showalter said he would
Speaker 1: put up in the clubhouse there he said he would
Speaker 1: put up a sign that said play better. Joe Maddens
Speaker 1: was trying not to suck. That was the why not
Speaker 1: just like which is a version of my favorite quote
Speaker 1: of all time, John Tortorello, the hockey coach, after the
Speaker 1: Rangers lost the game and somebody asked and why why
Speaker 1: did you lose the game or something like that, and
Speaker 1: he said, we sucked at a time you cannot suck.
Speaker 1: That is the perfect quote, and he's like, Tortorella was awesome.
Speaker 1: We sucked from head to toe. It was so good,
Speaker 1: so wonderful, so so great. Anyway, all right, have a
Speaker 1: wonderful rest of your Friday. That's right, Friday. We got
Speaker 1: a whole weekend to come of podcast Magic on Saturday.
