Speaker 1: Ka boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes
Speaker 1: a week was enough, I think again. He's the last
Speaker 1: remnants of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness.
Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as
Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of
Speaker 1: hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
Speaker 1: with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere
Speaker 1: back in the podcast do Joe Holiday weekend or not?
Speaker 1: The show must go on. It is another addition of
Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny G Radio.
Speaker 1: Ready to dazzle you as we go into the mail Bag.
Speaker 1: Not a high maintenance podcast, Danny G. I always look
Speaker 1: forward to the mail Bag podcast because you never know.
Speaker 1: It's like a box of that you never know what
Speaker 1: you're gonna get. It's kind of like a Dodger relief picture.
Speaker 1: You never know what you're gonna get. Yeah, it's an
Speaker 1: extended version of Ask Ben, which was always one of
Speaker 1: my favorite features on your live show. Yeah. Now it
Speaker 1: sounds like ask Man, but this is not asked Bend Anny.
Speaker 1: This is no, no, no, this this is a totally
Speaker 1: different feature. Alright, totally different. People always confuse this with
Speaker 1: Aspen and I don't understand why this is. This is
Speaker 1: nothing like, nothing like ask Ben, unless it's a mirror image. No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no you, no one, No one would be so lazy
Speaker 1: is to copy a bit from the radio show and
Speaker 1: put it on the podcast. Who would do that? You'd
Speaker 1: be You'd be going bonkers if you did that. This
Speaker 1: isn't not the number one station anymore? Is it? Without
Speaker 1: further ado, let's strike up the band. Ohio al is
Speaker 1: here and into the mail bag we go. It's good job,
Speaker 1: Ohio all. And these are actual questions sent in by
Speaker 1: actual listeners like yourself. We have many repeat customers, which
Speaker 1: we love, but we also enjoy getting new people to
Speaker 1: send us questions. And you can do that a couple
Speaker 1: of different ways. If you've just stumbled on the podcast,

Speaker 1: you can do it tomorrow. You don't have to wait
Speaker 1: till Tuesday. Real fifth hour at gmail dot com. That
Speaker 1: is the address, put mail in the headline on that
Speaker 1: Real Fifth Hour at gmail dot com, and we may
Speaker 1: read your question on the show. Now, before we get
Speaker 1: into the official official mailbag, I did get a message
Speaker 1: from one of our our faithful listeners, which I was
Speaker 1: a little worried about. I don't worry about, and I
Speaker 1: didn't put this in the mailbag, so this is not
Speaker 1: really the official start of the mailbag, but it was
Speaker 1: a message. So I got an email from one of
Speaker 1: our fans in northern California, Robbie, who he had mentioned
Speaker 1: that I was complaining on the show about the only
Speaker 1: mail we get at the mother Ship is from Andy Ferman.
Speaker 1: I want a mature guy. I was trying to figure
Speaker 1: out how this is like a national network, five affiliates,
Speaker 1: satellite radio, international audience and the only male I ever
Speaker 1: see is from Andy Ferman, And I was like, what's
Speaker 1: up with that? So anyway, Robbie sent a message in
Speaker 1: and he attached some pictures here of the gift that
Speaker 1: he had sent back in. We talked about this. This
Speaker 1: thing got stuck in storage because I moved right after
Speaker 1: I got the gift and I didn't have a chance
Speaker 1: to open it, and so we talked about this on
Speaker 1: the podcast. So anyway, I was trying to find the
Speaker 1: date of the podcast, Danny. I could not find it.
Speaker 1: But Robbie sent me a message like, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: here's mayl. You didn't open this, So I was I
Speaker 1: was a little bummed up because I was like, well,
Speaker 1: we did open. I did a whole thing on the podcast.
Speaker 1: We talked about that, Remember, Danny, we did a whole
Speaker 1: thing podcast about Robbie and he sent a very nice letter,
Speaker 1: and we read the letter on the show and he
Speaker 1: talked about how special the wood was that was used.
Speaker 1: It was old wood that was used for the cutting
Speaker 1: board and the what's that thee Yeah, yeah, So I
Speaker 1: don't know which show it was. All these shows they
Speaker 1: they roll one after another and I don't We don't
Speaker 1: have a good log of them. I don't anyway, Maybe
Speaker 1: you do, Danny, but I don't have a good log.
Speaker 1: And so I went back and I tried to find
Speaker 1: I couldnot find the date on that. That was a
Speaker 1: fake start. That was a false flag start. Let's get
Speaker 1: into a Now the real mail bag begins and mail
Speaker 1: all right, Jason from Rocky Non Virginia Rights and says, hey, guys,
Speaker 1: I did a bit thinking about it, and maybe Danny
Speaker 1: G should be referred to. Oh, this is the nickname thing, Danny,
Speaker 1: Remember you wanted a nickname. Danny should be referred to
Speaker 1: as Doc, as in Doc Brown from Back to the
Speaker 1: Future for science experiments your thust. Do you do you
Speaker 1: want to be called Doc? Well? That is one of
Speaker 1: my favorite movies from the eighties. It's a solid film. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just Josh, he tweeted us. The Darwin of Dodgeball. That's
Speaker 1: the man who put the O G in scientology. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I like it. It's a little Tom cruise ish there.
Speaker 1: He says. Coming up with a new nickname is tough.
Speaker 1: Since you've gone Danny G. The science on me going
Speaker 1: with the scientifical turntable of elementary ins. Wow, that's a
Speaker 1: long one. That's a mouthful. Yeah, I'm didn't nickname. They
Speaker 1: gotta be short. The Darwin of dodge that's that is solid. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it combines the two things science and earlier in
Speaker 1: the school year beating all those kids in the head
Speaker 1: with the dodgeballs. That's true. Stop bad. And I gotta
Speaker 1: thank Terry really quick because he sent me some lesson plans.
Speaker 1: Oh he did nice he's also a teacher. Yeah sweet, yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you Terry from England. Yeah yeah, Terry has been
Speaker 1: listening for a long time. He's a ham radio guy
Speaker 1: like my dad used to be back in the day
Speaker 1: and all that. Yeah, Terry very opinionated, that guy, Terry,
Speaker 1: he does not, he does not. One of his emails
Speaker 1: had this whole thing on parachutes. And so last week
Speaker 1: a big part of my week was teaching the kids
Speaker 1: all about parachutes. And then we spent a couple of
Speaker 1: days making those cool toy parachutes. Oh that is neat.
Speaker 1: I like it, loved it. Terry got upset with me.
Speaker 1: He said, I did list radio, he yelled at me.
Speaker 1: But I did not do list radio. I did Big
Speaker 1: Ben's Big Board, and Big Ben's Big Board is not
Speaker 1: list radio, Dame. That's a little different. No, it's much different.
Speaker 1: It's totally the board, not a list no, exactly. And
Speaker 1: I tried to explain this to Terry, and Terry would
Speaker 1: not he would have none of it. And several of
Speaker 1: the listeners were upset, you just doing list radio now,
Speaker 1: I said, no, I've never done list radio. You've known
Speaker 1: me a long time, Danny, have I ever done list radio. No,
Speaker 1: you've done board radio. That's right. I have. I have
Speaker 1: had more people fall asleep listening to me than anyone else. Wow,
Speaker 1: oh my, oh my god, that has happened. So anyway,
Speaker 1: moving on, come back, it's sim call Mike from Fullerton
Speaker 1: and so Cal Stones throw away from the Big A says,
Speaker 1: I have a couple the project ideas for Danny G
Speaker 1: The Science MC. What do you think about that? Danny
Speaker 1: G The Science MC? Pretty cool? That's not bad, Mike says.
Speaker 1: One of my favorites was the egg drop. Have the
Speaker 1: kids build a container to prevent an egg from cracking
Speaker 1: after a long fall. Yeah, that's not bad. Have you
Speaker 1: done that one? I actually, um well, I haven't done
Speaker 1: that at this school, but at my last school we
Speaker 1: did do that, and I came in second place. I
Speaker 1: challenged the kids. I made one myself, and this little
Speaker 1: girl bend. She had this Lebron James look in her eyes,
Speaker 1: and she told me, as she used the third roll
Speaker 1: of tape, I am not gonna lose. I don't like losing. Good, damn,
Speaker 1: you're in second grade. Where'd you get that fire from?
Speaker 1: I like it to check whether or not her her
Speaker 1: egg broke Ben It took a good six seven minutes
Speaker 1: to untape and unwrap all the layers this girl had,
Speaker 1: and she won the prize. She came in first place.
Speaker 1: To what was her move? Like, how did she do it?
Speaker 1: She just food, Yeah, just layer after layer she did,
Speaker 1: like this whole kind of bubble tape system and then
Speaker 1: had paper plates on the outside and then rolls of tape,
Speaker 1: more rolls of tape. I mean it looked like this
Speaker 1: huge bowling ball made out of tape. I like her
Speaker 1: attitude to like if I was a scout, like looking
Speaker 1: for someone. I want people that have that at it,
Speaker 1: because they say, if you're passive, you can get buy
Speaker 1: in your talent for a while. But I need people
Speaker 1: that have that. I'm I'm not I'm not gonna lose,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm going Yeah, Like she told me, I
Speaker 1: do not lose. I do not like to lose. I
Speaker 1: Am not going to lose. And she's looking me straight
Speaker 1: in the eyes as she said those words, and I
Speaker 1: was like, damn, this little girl means business. Sure enough,
Speaker 1: she was the winner. There you go, all right, good
Speaker 1: job by her. Here we go. I got mail, yea,
Speaker 1: I got mail, yea. Fan Jimmy from big Orange Country rights,
Speaker 1: and he says, well, why are y'all bleep been out
Speaker 1: some cuss words on the podcast. Looks like Jimmy wants
Speaker 1: some bad words. Let it go because it feels like
Speaker 1: we're all hanging out in the backyard playing corn hole
Speaker 1: and drinking beer, is what he's saying. So he would
Speaker 1: like us to not bleep function all those words. He
Speaker 1: wants all those words on the podcast. Is are there
Speaker 1: a lot of bleeps on the podcast? Is this a fan? Well,
Speaker 1: not a ton, But when we say really bad words,
Speaker 1: you remember, we had quite a few listeners say they
Speaker 1: like because they felt like when we curse, it's a
Speaker 1: little unnatural because they don't hear us talk like that
Speaker 1: on the radio. So when we do it, yeah, they're
Speaker 1: like Ben Fields forced when he curses like that. If
Speaker 1: you don't know the facts, then you got right at
Speaker 1: the beginning of me working with you on this podcast,
Speaker 1: I bleeped out our curse words and it was a
Speaker 1: funny bit. It seems like you're listening to something you
Speaker 1: shouldn't be listening to. All right, So this asshole Jimmy
Speaker 1: Vols fan Jimmy, he's he wants to hear the curse words.
Speaker 1: So here's the guy. I'm just for Jimmy. I'll let
Speaker 1: a couple go. All right, you piece of shit all
Speaker 1: you are such an asshole, you mother? Yeah, alright, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, I'll keep it going on the mail bag.
Speaker 1: And who is next? Enie meany mighty mo? Pick a letter?
Speaker 1: I got a lot to choose from here. Let's say, hello,
Speaker 1: we have Helen and Stu oh Mallard Town, USA. Helen
Speaker 1: and stew checking in. Always a spicy hot couple when
Speaker 1: they send in questions here. That's right, Helen says, Boys,
Speaker 1: we are not back in Florida yet, crazy vacation recap
Speaker 1: and next week's maybe by full shizzle fo drizzle. Helen writes.
Speaker 1: She says, now on nan Tucket, we can tell you this.
Speaker 1: Last week, one of you correctly guess the category for
Speaker 1: which Stu almost died, And remember I did, Yes, what
Speaker 1: was yours? I thought he almost fell off a cliff
Speaker 1: when they were hiking. You thought he ate something bad? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought he had a food reaction. That was one
Speaker 1: of them working I think working out. Did I go
Speaker 1: with the working out one or something? So? I think so? Anyway,
Speaker 1: Helen says, is it you've been the distant relative of
Speaker 1: Nostre damas or is it the experiment? Danny g Radio,
Speaker 1: she's calling you the experience. By the way, we included
Speaker 1: not one, but two category clues in this letter. Can
Speaker 1: you find them? Can you solve the student death puzzle?
Speaker 1: We he used to Please see you next week, Helen
Speaker 1: and Stu mallardtown us. All right, so let's see what
Speaker 1: the the clues are here? What do you think you're
Speaker 1: the experiment? Is that a clue? ChIL? What's that? Is
Speaker 1: this blues clues? Yeah? She said that. She said there
Speaker 1: were some clues in the letter. H Well, what are
Speaker 1: the clues? Yeah? I guess it's too early in the
Speaker 1: morning for me to to put this together. I gotta
Speaker 1: put the jigsaw puzzle together. Come on, Helen, this is
Speaker 1: a mailbag, not a quiz. How dare you? What is
Speaker 1: up with that? The safe travels you two kids and
Speaker 1: said there would be no thinking on this podcast. I
Speaker 1: know I turned my brain off here. What's wrong with you?
Speaker 1: I mean, come on? Jennifer in Richmond, Virginia. Right. Since
Speaker 1: it's Ben in Daniji, it was cool to see photos
Speaker 1: of Louis and his person human man Matt in studio
Speaker 1: with you, Jennifer says, when I make it out the
Speaker 1: out that way later this year, would I also be
Speaker 1: granted the privilege to sitting next to the great Ben Mallory. Wow,
Speaker 1: I'll bring food for everyone and some merch from Richmond's
Speaker 1: minor league baseball team, the Flying Squirrels featuring their mascot Nutsie.
Speaker 1: It's very kind. How could I pass that up? Jennifer?
Speaker 1: I love minor league baseball. I support minor league baseball.
Speaker 1: I also love minor league baseball hats, unique cats. That
Speaker 1: would be cool. The Flying Squirrels, So they have a
Speaker 1: squirrel on the hat, that would be different. I don't
Speaker 1: have a squirrel hat. At the old house, the old
Speaker 1: Mallard mansion we used to have. There was something moving
Speaker 1: around in the uh the attic, and we're pretty sure
Speaker 1: it was a squirrel or two. We think there were
Speaker 1: two squirrels in the attic. But I'll make a deal
Speaker 1: with the Jennifer. Let me know. You gotta give me
Speaker 1: some advanced notice here because my schedule every week is different.
Speaker 1: Some weeks I come in on Monday or sun Day.
Speaker 1: Some weeks that come in on Thursday or Friday. It
Speaker 1: just really depends on how I'm feeling that week. But
Speaker 1: if you let me know what when you're gonna be there,
Speaker 1: we'll work something out. And also, as you know, Danny G,
Speaker 1: when we have people and they're not allowed to stay,
Speaker 1: like you can't stay for the whole show, you don't
Speaker 1: stay for a little bit. I was just gonna mention
Speaker 1: that you don't open your work email often. There was
Speaker 1: actually an email from our boss, Scott Shapiro, and he
Speaker 1: said about you having a guest for a segment, which
Speaker 1: is okay, that it's one dollars from here on out
Speaker 1: and that goes to the Danny g Runch Foundation. Yes,
Speaker 1: the tickets, Well, that's a good idea, Danny. We could
Speaker 1: we could put a couple of rows of folding chairs
Speaker 1: in the studio and that'd be we could do all.
Speaker 1: How about some podcasts they go out and do a
Speaker 1: live podcast. We could like record the podcast somewhere. We
Speaker 1: do Golden tickets, O, can you do a thing like this?
Speaker 1: I was helping you bring that into the show back
Speaker 1: in the day. We could go from golden tickets to
Speaker 1: platinum seats. Oh yeah, platinum seats will be right next
Speaker 1: to you for a segment. When I used to work
Speaker 1: with Lee Hamilton's San Diego Hacksaw Hamilton's he did a
Speaker 1: summer book tour which was just a killer of time
Speaker 1: on the radio. But hacks I would do that, And
Speaker 1: how about a summer podcast tour. One weekend we're in Minnesota,
Speaker 1: we go to Cincinnati, We'll travel to you know whoever
Speaker 1: you I want about Houston, but we'll pick some random cities.
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. Uh well, we'll pick some
Speaker 1: random places and we'll go have a fine time. Sounds good.
Speaker 1: I'm sure my heart will pick up the tab for
Speaker 1: that immediately. Yes, yes, they're on it right now and
Speaker 1: absolutely whatever you need, whatever you need, they will be there.
Speaker 1: Calm down, all right, come back, it's sign from now.
Speaker 1: Call Evan in Kansas right soon, He says. Dear Ben,
Speaker 1: I've noticed you've become quite the chef with what with
Speaker 1: your grilling, baking, griddling. Recently I brought I bought an
Speaker 1: air fryer, Bannon Danigy. Do you have any experience with
Speaker 1: the air fryer. If so, what foods have you enjoyed? Yes, Kevin,
Speaker 1: the air fryer is a sneaky good kitchen and device
Speaker 1: it's wonderful. Now it's not as good as traditional fried food,
Speaker 1: but it's not bad. And I love finger foods. I
Speaker 1: got at Costco years ago. They had as a sampler
Speaker 1: these little mini hardshell tacos as an appetizer. Have you
Speaker 1: ever had those? You probably have? I have. And we
Speaker 1: also get those Costco taketo's. Oh yeah, taketos are great.
Speaker 1: The mini tacos are you know, they're hard to find,
Speaker 1: those little mini tacos. They have chicken and beef corn
Speaker 1: dogs from the corn dogs are oh yeah, Oh it's wonderful.
Speaker 1: And you just it's like that late rom pop peel guy.
Speaker 1: You set it and forget it. You put that stuff
Speaker 1: in the air fryer. It's good to go. It's easy
Speaker 1: to clean olive oil cooking spray and just coat the
Speaker 1: layer of the air fryer pan. Yeah to go to Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of the airfare Kevin, So I
Speaker 1: recommend my top three the the mini tacos, Keto's and
Speaker 1: the chicken finger so you can put chicken fingers in there.
Speaker 1: Those are pretty good. Two fries you can put it
Speaker 1: chicken wings in there. Yeah, fries, And we do the
Speaker 1: sweet potato fries in there. Okay, yeah, I mean it's
Speaker 1: it's really cool. It's good. And then you have something
Speaker 1: in the oven if you're cooking something in the oven,
Speaker 1: and then you can put the like the fries, the
Speaker 1: side dish in the air fryer. And that's the way
Speaker 1: to do it. Absolutely on that all right. Next up
Speaker 1: on the male bag a mail bag, mailbag, mailbag, I
Speaker 1: got mal yea, I got male Yea. Chris and Marri
Speaker 1: Coca to Iowa. Right, So, he says, have you listened
Speaker 1: to Heidi and Frank show out of Los Angeles or
Speaker 1: do you know them? They used to do a bit
Speaker 1: where they would send a playboy bunny to test the
Speaker 1: fidelity of husbands at the request of the wife and
Speaker 1: have them both on the air the following week. I'll
Speaker 1: hang up and listen, says Chris. He has God Raiders,
Speaker 1: So I know of Heidi and Frank. They've been on
Speaker 1: l A radio for a long time. They used to
Speaker 1: be Heidi Frank and was Frosty Heidi and Frank? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Frosty was in there. They whacked Frosty, huh. I guess
Speaker 1: they couldn't have he was he was a victim of
Speaker 1: COVID right when COVID was starting. Oh he didn't die,
Speaker 1: he just lost his you know, he was an early
Speaker 1: COVID cut. Yeah he didn't yeah cut, yeah, dollary cut. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know about that. Uh So, anyway, I know of them,
Speaker 1: I have not met them. I don't believe. I remember
Speaker 1: Frank had his house burned down in a fire. I
Speaker 1: heard about that in the one of the wildfires right
Speaker 1: around my area here. So I don't know. Do you
Speaker 1: know Heidi and Frank. I have met Frank. He's very cool,
Speaker 1: and he's got a cannabis line right now that's doing well.
Speaker 1: And they also have an alcohol beverage line that's doing well.
Speaker 1: They got that right now. They got into the too
Speaker 1: dream industries for radio people. Yeah, so then do they
Speaker 1: do commercials on their show? Have to buy commercials? I
Speaker 1: guess the radio station is cut in on the deal
Speaker 1: because they get to freely promote both things, so hallelujah.
Speaker 1: Or they take lesson salary and just make their money
Speaker 1: on them. Yeah. Correct, the weed and the booze and
Speaker 1: all that good stuff. All right, So there you go,
Speaker 1: Danny has met Frank. Next up on the mail Bag,
Speaker 1: Berry in Nashville, yo yo Ma, Barry. He says, Benny,
Speaker 1: I think that you have a huge following in Nashville,
Speaker 1: with many being ones and some just being active contributors.
Speaker 1: So the question is when are you coming to Nashville
Speaker 1: for a meet and greet. Barry says, you can visit
Speaker 1: the Johnny Cash Museum, see a full scale replica of Partheon.
Speaker 1: Is that how that said? Right? I think, uh, toward
Speaker 1: the Country Music Hall of Fame, and you can even
Speaker 1: visit the Honky Tonks on Broadway. But we uh, he says,
Speaker 1: but we will meet off Broadway, maybe at Losers bar
Speaker 1: On Division. We know you love Losers. Yes, So when
Speaker 1: is this going to happen? Barry says, well, I would
Speaker 1: like to get to Nashville. I know, Danny you've been there.
Speaker 1: But the the Grand Old Opry. I watched the documentary
Speaker 1: on PBS and I'd love to check that out. I know,
Speaker 1: I guess they got rid of the original Grand Old Opry, right,
Speaker 1: so it's a it's a new opery outside, but do
Speaker 1: they have the original building? But the theater is still there? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the one. The Ryman and when you go on
Speaker 1: the Rhyman tour, it is amazing the history of that
Speaker 1: building and they still put on shows there. Yeah, I'd
Speaker 1: like to see that. And Johnny Cash that's my all
Speaker 1: time great So I'd love to see the Johnny Cash Museum,
Speaker 1: I swear to God. Yeah, Clay Travis Country and all that,
Speaker 1: and why not. I that's a hip town. That's a
Speaker 1: hipster town. Nashville, Tennessee. Now that's a lot of people moving.
Speaker 1: And that that in Austin, Texas. Right, those are the
Speaker 1: two here. Shout out to my friend j C. He
Speaker 1: brought me to some wonderful food there when I was
Speaker 1: in Nashville. Man, Uh, the sides bend, like the green
Speaker 1: beans and biscuits and all the fixings, the collared greens
Speaker 1: and everything. Oh my god, that food was delicious, those
Speaker 1: southern southern portions, not those little teeny portions. I had
Speaker 1: it to go box for sure. You had little doggie
Speaker 1: bag going. You had that going for you. That's good, Okay.
Speaker 1: I'd love to get to Nashville. The problem is, I've
Speaker 1: determined the problem with all these things is money. It
Speaker 1: always comes back to money. Like, if I had money, travels,
Speaker 1: what gets you the travel? I gotta be like Lance
Speaker 1: the Buster or Lance the Bus driver flies all over
Speaker 1: the world. The guy from San Francisco because his wife
Speaker 1: works at one of the airlines, so he gets free travel,
Speaker 1: free air for it. The way to do it. Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: all right, I'll keep it going on. This is next.
Speaker 1: We have j Bone from Portland, Maine. J He says,
Speaker 1: ben question for you, but it has a strong Danny
Speaker 1: G tie. When Danny G left, at first it sucked.
Speaker 1: Roberto stepped in. When Roberto said he would go with
Speaker 1: the porn star, I knew we were in good hands.
Speaker 1: When did you know? Not easy to fill Danny G's
Speaker 1: shoes Almost impossible. I love all you guys and the
Speaker 1: work you do. That's from J Bone. Will thank you
Speaker 1: Jay Bone. Yeah, it was. When Danny left the show,
Speaker 1: it was not easy. Danny. As you know, you're a
Speaker 1: big part of the show and you were a big
Speaker 1: part of what we did every day, and so when
Speaker 1: you left, it was not not simple to just pick
Speaker 1: up right right there. But and these things just kind
Speaker 1: of happen. I don't believe in chemistry per se in
Speaker 1: sports and all that, but it takes a little time.
Speaker 1: There's a feeling out process, you gotta know, and when
Speaker 1: you work with new people and eventually the pieces fit together.
Speaker 1: So it takes a little bit of time. And Roberto
Speaker 1: has been a good sport and he plays along with
Speaker 1: the nonsense that we do, and so it's it's good.
Speaker 1: And you did a great job, Danny when you left,
Speaker 1: helping him out, showing him the way to how we do. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, not that Roberto owes me anything,
Speaker 1: but there were three different people in a rotate. He
Speaker 1: probably sometimes wishes I didn't train him so well and
Speaker 1: he didn't get the job, But there were three guys
Speaker 1: that were like in the rotation. And I remember the bosses,
Speaker 1: the two bosses that we have coming to me both
Speaker 1: asking who do you think out of the three could
Speaker 1: hack it with Ben every night. Roberto's personality and the
Speaker 1: way he was willing to kind of keep our traditions
Speaker 1: going that sold me on the fact that he would
Speaker 1: do a great job. Yeah, I know, it's it's uh,
Speaker 1: it's it's worked out well. And it's been been a
Speaker 1: while now and so everyone's kind of locked in roll
Speaker 1: with a bunch of When I started the show, I
Speaker 1: had Jake was my board up Stay Awake with Jake
Speaker 1: and Bob Garrot was my producer I had. He had,
Speaker 1: He's been there all the way through. Yeah, this this
Speaker 1: incarnation of the show. Yeah, And Bobo trained me on
Speaker 1: the equipment when I started with you Bobo on the radio,
Speaker 1: which I mean, there wasn't much training needed. It was
Speaker 1: the same equipment I had just come from at NBC.
Speaker 1: But as far as the ins and outs of your show,
Speaker 1: Bobo was the one who sat with me and kind
Speaker 1: of explained your show tuning as far as the things
Speaker 1: I needed to do and drops and all that, and
Speaker 1: then I took it and ran from there to this day.
Speaker 1: Whenever being Boba are talking, He's like, so, Julie, equipment here,
Speaker 1: I'm the O g I'm a veteran, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, Bobo, you the O g uh Man. All right,
Speaker 1: let's keep it going on the mail bag and who
Speaker 1: is next? Any meany Miney mo Amish writes it says,
Speaker 1: have you have either of you been to the Tilted
Speaker 1: Kilt in Orange, California and your Anaheim Stadium, Angel Stadium whatever? Says,
Speaker 1: I plan on intending an Angel game in mid August,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to know if that's a good pregame spot.
Speaker 1: Have you first off them? Angels. That's sorry. They're not
Speaker 1: friendly with us. They did not like us. They are
Speaker 1: very rude. They had to lose all those games. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're they're so great with media relations unless they're not. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Uh So I have not been. I know that Tilted Kilt.
Speaker 1: There's a few locations like in like Vegas, right, there's
Speaker 1: a it's a it's all. They're all all over the country.
Speaker 1: I think, I don't. I don't believe I've been to
Speaker 1: the one in in Orders. There's some some good place
Speaker 1: back in the older. I have not been to Anaheim
Speaker 1: very regularly in a long time. Back in my day,
Speaker 1: I spent many a night. There was a place called
Speaker 1: the National Sports Grill, which no longer is in business.
Speaker 1: And then the catch, which I think is that still
Speaker 1: around the catch I'm not sure. I know that. I
Speaker 1: went to a Tilted Kilt in Santa Clarita when it
Speaker 1: opened there. And if you're not familiar, it's like Hooters,
Speaker 1: but better food. Okay, Yeah, Tilted Kilt has women that
Speaker 1: are dressed kind of uh eyes to please the eyes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like to enhance the food and drink. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I can't help you on that, Amish but I
Speaker 1: I do. It looks like it's still open to catch.
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's permanently close. I take that back. But
Speaker 1: there you go. COVID. Yeah, COVID. Everybody knows you catch
Speaker 1: the of COVID at the catch. Uh yeah, I went
Speaker 1: on their website. Uh yeah, they're they're They're done. That's it.
Speaker 1: That's too bad. But there there's I from what I understand,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of restaurants around there now that weren't
Speaker 1: there when I used to cover the Angels. I was
Speaker 1: there all the time, and there wasn't a lot going
Speaker 1: on in in Anah, And there was a pancake place.
Speaker 1: A lot of the guys would go through, twenty four
Speaker 1: hour place that had really huge pancakes that was not
Speaker 1: far away from Anaheim Stadium. Next up, Pandemic Ben change
Speaker 1: your name from catch to the Cure. That's a good
Speaker 1: point from marketing standpoint. It's sign from that. I'll call
Speaker 1: all right. Next up, Pierre in Springfield. Pierre and Springfield
Speaker 1: rights in. He says, with this being a holiday weekend
Speaker 1: and Sunday into Monday show being the actual holiday, do
Speaker 1: you have access to the schedule in advance or do
Speaker 1: you find out just before the show. I'm guessing that
Speaker 1: corporate coupe and every holiday off, Eddie will not be in.
Speaker 1: It's probably fifty fifty on whether or not Roberto shows up.
Speaker 1: Can you give us the game day starters so we
Speaker 1: know how much to drink just in case Ned Flanders
Speaker 1: shows up? Well? Shots fired, Pierre. The way this works,
Speaker 1: not to get too inside radio, but they do send
Speaker 1: out a schedule. I don't often check it, so sometimes
Speaker 1: I won't check it. But Thursday is normally a schedule day.
Speaker 1: Is that when that goes out? Thursday? Yeah? Do you
Speaker 1: want me to look up the schedule really quick? I
Speaker 1: don't know. I might be depressed. Eddie told me he's
Speaker 1: going to be in Sunday in the Monday. They gave
Speaker 1: him the option, and so he's taking Monday into Tuesday off.
Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm leaving goodbye. So he's gonna work
Speaker 1: on the fourth and then take July. If because the
Speaker 1: way we do this, doing the overnight show, you end
Speaker 1: up having if you if you take a holiday, if
Speaker 1: you still ended having to work on the holiday, cun
Speaker 1: because we cross over the the Rubicon in the overnight,
Speaker 1: so we start on the West coast. The show starts
Speaker 1: at eleven pm and goes to three am. And so
Speaker 1: let's say I took July four off, I would be
Speaker 1: off on Sunday in the Monday, but then I'd have
Speaker 1: to still work on the fourth of July that night.
Speaker 1: So what's I always like, what's the point of that? Now?
Speaker 1: I am going to have to take a Sunday off
Speaker 1: at some point because I have some relatives coming in
Speaker 1: from back East and I I haven't seen these people
Speaker 1: in years, like some of that I haven't seen a kid.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take My cousins are having like a
Speaker 1: big family thing, so I'm gonna take some time off,
Speaker 1: like one day to hang out with them, which I
Speaker 1: think is okay. So I don't know whether I'll use
Speaker 1: my comp day from June tenth or July four, but
Speaker 1: one of those will be used one of those movies.
Speaker 1: So yeah, the schedule, we we have access to it,
Speaker 1: but I usually don't work. I usually don't look and
Speaker 1: I like to be surprised. July four is one of
Speaker 1: my favorite holidays. I love the smell of the suntan
Speaker 1: lotion and the fireworks exploding and the fact that you
Speaker 1: could see multiple fireworks shows going at the same time
Speaker 1: based on where you're at on the coast in California.
Speaker 1: I've always liked it since I was a little kid.
Speaker 1: I thought it was the coolest holiday. Yeah, I'm a
Speaker 1: fan of the Fourth of July too, And I remember
Speaker 1: when I was a fund memories of my mom taking
Speaker 1: us because I grew up in Orange County, and she
Speaker 1: take us to Disneyland, but we wouldn't actually go to
Speaker 1: disney and we park outside Disneyland. We're just see the
Speaker 1: free fireworks show. And she knew. My mom knew, and
Speaker 1: this is the days before maps or before GPS and
Speaker 1: all that stuff, so she had to like scout it
Speaker 1: out and she knew exactly where to go. Parked the car,
Speaker 1: we have the perfect view of the fireworks and that's
Speaker 1: how we would roll. And even to this day at Disneyland,
Speaker 1: when you drive, if you drive up and down the
Speaker 1: Interstate five around nine thirty, there's a fireworks show every
Speaker 1: night at Disneyland, and they shoot the fireworks off in
Speaker 1: the back part of Disneyland, which is right up against
Speaker 1: the highway, So if you're driving at that time, you
Speaker 1: get a pyrotechnic show right right next to the highways.
Speaker 1: Why traffic slows down? Everyone's hitting their lights when you
Speaker 1: when you do. I've driven by there a few times.
Speaker 1: It's pretty wild. Love it. Yeah, it was the one
Speaker 1: time a year my mom let us climb up and
Speaker 1: sit on the roof. So that's another good memory. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you would make I remember she'd make popcorn and we
Speaker 1: would literally take bowls of popcorn up to the roof
Speaker 1: and a local college shot off fireworks and we'd watch
Speaker 1: those while we eat the popcorn. That's awesome, That's that's cool,
Speaker 1: fun fun memories. I also my my dad was terrible
Speaker 1: at barbecuing. My mom was the cook, so we'd always
Speaker 1: like burgers and hot dogs and all that and usually
Speaker 1: was just my mom making them. My dad had no
Speaker 1: clue how to handle any of that stuff, but that
Speaker 1: that was how we my dad. If you leave him
Speaker 1: on the barbecue everything, I like burned food, but I
Speaker 1: don't like stuff that burn, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Like he would go over the over the edge because
Speaker 1: he just he'd said he'd leave it there and just
Speaker 1: walk away or not pay attention and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: He made hockey punks pretty much pretty much. He he
Speaker 1: did Anyway, moving on, Pierre, thank you for that. Next
Speaker 1: up we say hello too. Let's see here Randy and Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: P A writes in why do you allow your staff
Speaker 1: to hey on Pete and Pittsburgh. Oh yeah, Pete called
Speaker 1: up this week, Danny, I heard, Yeah, Pete called up.
Speaker 1: Randy says, let the audience decide what a good call is,
Speaker 1: and then he takes a shot at the staff. He says,
Speaker 1: California liberals are not the judge of entertainment. Trust me,
Speaker 1: you think I actually thought it was funny man. The
Speaker 1: banter between you and Pete. I got a kick out of.
Speaker 1: He is a show legend, and of course he was
Speaker 1: a mini legend on the Stern Show before your show. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I I it was wonderful. I like when Pete checks
Speaker 1: and he checks in every year or six months piece,
Speaker 1: one of the great callers and talk radio. I'm a
Speaker 1: fan of what Pete does. Pete only calls us up
Speaker 1: though these days when he's completely slashed, when he's been
Speaker 1: out drinking at the bar, and he's up because he's
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's got going on in his
Speaker 1: life these days, but it ain't our show. And he
Speaker 1: doesn't call radio shows. I think he's also become very
Speaker 1: political as he's gotten older. Now Pete was calling the
Speaker 1: show in his early twenties and now Pezze in his forties.
Speaker 1: So you know, you know, we're all in a different
Speaker 1: place when our twenties to our thirties, to our forties
Speaker 1: to our fifties, and he was in a different spot
Speaker 1: in But Jonas, actually the great Jonas Knox I was.
Speaker 1: I saw him on my way out the other day
Speaker 1: and he sent me a link some Stern fans had
Speaker 1: put on on YouTube and it was a classic Stern
Speaker 1: call from back in the day. Pittsburgh Pete. That's what
Speaker 1: he's known on on Stern Show. That's what he was
Speaker 1: knowing on Pittsburgh. Not Pete on our show. It's Pete
Speaker 1: and Pittsburgh on the Stern Show was Pittsburgh Pete. And
Speaker 1: he and already Lane got into it. He was busting
Speaker 1: already Langs balls and Already just exploded at Pittsburgh Pete.
Speaker 1: It's on YouTube. It was hilarious, and Already just said
Speaker 1: all these amazing offensive things about uh, the Puerto Rican
Speaker 1: parade and what should happen to Pete and Pittsburgh and
Speaker 1: it was unbelievab It was hilarious, so funny. See, you
Speaker 1: have to appreciate when you hear a legend's voice on
Speaker 1: the radio. I didn't really care about him repeating himself
Speaker 1: or whatever the complaints might be. Just to hear his
Speaker 1: voice was kind of cool. I thought, yeah, And I
Speaker 1: do get this a lot. And Randy, you're not alone
Speaker 1: like the guys my taste and caller and what the
Speaker 1: the guys like Roberto and Coop get very upset at
Speaker 1: certain people the call. Sure, those guys the callus, I
Speaker 1: think are hilarious and they're like, oh, this guy is terrible.
Speaker 1: I don't like this guy. You know, let's get rid
Speaker 1: of it. I mean, no, no, no, no, that's a
Speaker 1: good call I enjoy it. What are you doing to me?
Speaker 1: And then hey, there's a caller for everybody. Uh. In fact,
Speaker 1: when I was getting ahold of your boy, Chestnut, his
Speaker 1: PR department said, I know, Mallory, that's the guy with
Speaker 1: all those crazy callers. That's right. See, we're known for
Speaker 1: the crazy caller. That's how that works. That's how he
Speaker 1: described you. He's like, I've listened to that show plenty
Speaker 1: of times exactly. That's what I'm saying, that's the that's
Speaker 1: the secret sauce dandy, right, that's the key, and there's
Speaker 1: a crazy caller for every different taste. Yeah, you can't
Speaker 1: chase the way these guys, Like, these guys were busting
Speaker 1: that the trash guy, the one eyed trash guy from
Speaker 1: Hawaii who's supposed to do a daredevil stunt on the show,
Speaker 1: and he hadn't called. Uh, you know, I had heard
Speaker 1: her from him as we're doing this podcast. I haven't
Speaker 1: heard from a while, so and like these guys are
Speaker 1: trying to chase him away and I'm like, no, no,
Speaker 1: no, no no, Roberto. He did not like that guy. Joe
Speaker 1: and Rhode Island. I thought Joe was hilarious. Joe and
Speaker 1: the guy that went on and just uh would would
Speaker 1: scream at me Joe and run the traditional New England
Speaker 1: sports radio caller. The guy's a bumb that guy. We're
Speaker 1: trying to chase him a way, and I did chase
Speaker 1: him way. He changed jobs. But anyway, all right, Time
Speaker 1: for a couple more Rachel, she says, is moving Man
Speaker 1: Matt single. So she she liked hearing Moving Man Matt
Speaker 1: in studio, but unfortunately Rachel Moving Man Matt is not single,
Speaker 1: and it's amazing that Matt has been able to keep
Speaker 1: that marriage going. Danny, he's on the road like three
Speaker 1: hundred days a year. He's never home. Yeah, he's always working,
Speaker 1: so he you know, he's a long haul East coast,
Speaker 1: west coast, south northwest. He goes everywhere. He's like a musician,
Speaker 1: traveling concert to concert. He and Louis. Sorry, Richard, but
Speaker 1: if you would like to date a member of the
Speaker 1: Mallem militia, Rachel, we can play the dating game on
Speaker 1: the show. We can have no, no no, no, Rachel. Listen.
Speaker 1: We have some very attractive bachelors on the show. Would
Speaker 1: you like to get your hands on Flexus? That's a
Speaker 1: that's a catch. Also, who else do we have? We
Speaker 1: have a blind Scott another catch? Flexus has an amazing personality.
Speaker 1: That is true. We have Hallereen, James Holler and James
Speaker 1: would be a big fan Holler and James would follow
Speaker 1: you around Rachel like a puppy dog. Okay, he doesn't
Speaker 1: snore at all. You want to have a party Jed
Speaker 1: who fled? Big party with Jed? A bunch of hookers
Speaker 1: and cocaine. Interesting cat there you can go down on
Speaker 1: the list. There's so many to choose from here. But
Speaker 1: let me know, Rachel, if you want, if you're an
Speaker 1: eligible bachelorette, we can play the dating game. I used
Speaker 1: to do that every Valentine's Day. We would do some
Speaker 1: kind of bit with that, but we haven't haven't done
Speaker 1: that in a while. That's how Man Hippy met his
Speaker 1: wife I Love You on on the on the show,
Speaker 1: on the show, Yeah there you go. Fred from Spring
Speaker 1: Texas writes in we'll do this, We'll get out on
Speaker 1: this one. He says, do either of you have lucky numbers?
Speaker 1: How did you get them? And how do you use
Speaker 1: I don't like lucky lucky. I when I played football,
Speaker 1: I was number seventy nine, So I was like, I
Speaker 1: guess a lucky number. It's a fat guy number. Yeah,
Speaker 1: good fat lineman number. Good, fat lineman. I have any
Speaker 1: There's certain numbers I gravitate too, but I don't know
Speaker 1: that they're my lucky numbers. So I would I would,
Speaker 1: So I would say, no, Fred, what what about you did?
Speaker 1: I do? I have to? And they are both football related.
Speaker 1: The Great number thirty two you know Marcus Allen, Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Great number thirty four that Bo Jackson. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: everything as a kid was thirty two, thirty four, thirty four,
Speaker 1: the greatest running back combo to ever assemble in the backfield. Well,
Speaker 1: the greatest video game character of all time. My opinion,
Speaker 1: forget Michael Vick, I'm I'm old school, I go Bo Jackson. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Too bad. That Marcus Allen banged one of Al Davis's chicks.
Speaker 1: Allegedly that the alleged beef between Al Davis and Marcus
Speaker 1: Allen was that Al Davis asked Marcus nicely to stay
Speaker 1: away from his mistress, okay because he was married. Al was,
Speaker 1: and Marcus smiled and said, yeah, right out, and he
Speaker 1: banged her. And where do white women at? And al
Speaker 1: Davis was like, I asked this guy to do one
Speaker 1: thing and he couldn't even keep his snake in its cage.
Speaker 1: The lore, the legend is that that's what caused the
Speaker 1: beef between those two guys. Marcus Allen just had to
Speaker 1: bang every white chicken saw well, And for those who
Speaker 1: don't know the store if you're too young, like Marcus
Speaker 1: Allen was a great player for the Raiders and was
Speaker 1: in purgatory with the race like they pretty much benched
Speaker 1: him they downsized his role in the team. He wasn't hurt. No. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he sat on the bench a lot in favor of
Speaker 1: Bo Jackson was the team, but every time Marcus came
Speaker 1: in he tore it up. And prior to that little beef,
Speaker 1: he had been one of the best running backs on
Speaker 1: the field in the entire league. And he would do
Speaker 1: that amazing move over the top where anytime the team
Speaker 1: got down near the goal line, they would give him
Speaker 1: the ball and he would fly in there like Superman
Speaker 1: into the end zone. He was amazing as a tiny
Speaker 1: little kid watching that. I was in kindergarten with a
Speaker 1: l a Raiders jersey and we would watch Marcus Allen
Speaker 1: go over the top and that started my love for football.
Speaker 1: And the rest of your life is women. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: there is a phrase there that Marcus Allen probably should
Speaker 1: have followed me. It's something like you don't where you
Speaker 1: eat or something like that. Right. Uh, don't sleep with
Speaker 1: the boss's mistress. Uh. If the team's owner asked you
Speaker 1: for one favor, you might want to oblige. Has there
Speaker 1: ever been an NFL owner that doesn't have a mistress?
Speaker 1: Does that exist? Is that? I don't think so? Probably not.
Speaker 1: Probably not so in these days though, in the age
Speaker 1: of Twitter. If that's if that is true, what happened
Speaker 1: with the Raiders if that was today? Oh can you
Speaker 1: imagine what a scandal t MC dot com baby, the
Speaker 1: stories on the woman would the mistress would sue to
Speaker 1: be a lawsuit against Al Davis, the Marcus Allen and
Speaker 1: all this. Oh my god. Anyway, all right, we'll get
Speaker 1: out of here. Enjoy the fourth of July. I will
Speaker 1: be in. We will have live shows tonight and the
Speaker 1: entire week, and I got nothing else going on, so
Speaker 1: I'll be in hanging out doing radio and love for
Speaker 1: you to call in if you haven't called in you
Speaker 1: want to talk on the show, or you want to
Speaker 1: just listen and send us goofy things on Twitter and
Speaker 1: all that. But we will have live original shows all
Speaker 1: week long. And I know, Danny, you're busting it as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll be there this afternoon and evening for the Covino
Speaker 1: and Rich show, and then Chris Plank and Arnie Spaniard
Speaker 1: right before your first show of the week. Out standing.
Speaker 1: All right, let'sen have a great rest of your day today.
Speaker 1: And if you missed any of these podcasts over the weekend.
Speaker 1: I cannot thank Joey Chestnut enough for coming on. It
Speaker 1: was awesome to talk to Joey. One of the highlights
Speaker 1: of this podcast, and thanks to Danny for getting him
Speaker 1: on there. So if you missed that, this is a
Speaker 1: great time to listen today or tomorrow morning, because tomorrow
Speaker 1: is today. On Monday is the Nathan's Annual Hot Dog
Speaker 1: Eating Contest. It is the day where Joey Chestnut is
Speaker 1: the most famous athlete in American sport. His day to
Speaker 1: dominate the headlines. He will be on Sports Center, He'll
Speaker 1: be on all the shows. Everyone will be talking about
Speaker 1: Joey Chestnut, good, bad or ugly because he is the
Speaker 1: straw that stirs the drink in Major league eating. So
Speaker 1: we look forward to seeing and and you know, is
Speaker 1: this gonna be the end? Is this the last one?
Speaker 1: Joey Chestnut is thirty nine years old, so is he
Speaker 1: gonna keep going into his forties? How long can the
Speaker 1: body hold up? We'll find out. And Ben, it didn't
Speaker 1: surprise me too that the people at Nathan's were big
Speaker 1: Ben Mallor fans. One of your most famous drops over
Speaker 1: the years, I like the extended winner. Well that was
Speaker 1: said in a joking manner, out of context, by the way,
Speaker 1: that is the way it is played. But anyway, all right,
Speaker 1: enough of that, have a great day. We'll catch you
Speaker 1: next time. Happy fourth of July. Yes, happy birthday America.
Speaker 1: God best America. Later, skater gotta murder, Gotta go.
