He's the last 0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:12.360 remnants of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. 0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:15.440 He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as 0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:19.639 the rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of 0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:23.520 hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour 0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:32.640 with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere 0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:37.760 back in the podcast do Joe Holiday weekend or not? 0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:41.880 The show must go on. It is another addition of 0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:46.720 the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny G Radio. 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:51.360 Ready to dazzle you as we go into the mail Bag. 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:55.920 Not a high maintenance podcast, Danny G. I always look 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:59.000 forward to the mail Bag podcast because you never know. 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:01.080 It's like a box of that you never know what 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:03.280 you're gonna get. It's kind of like a Dodger relief picture. 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:05.959 You never know what you're gonna get. Yeah, it's an 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:09.120 extended version of Ask Ben, which was always one of 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:12.200 my favorite features on your live show. Yeah. Now it 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:15.680 sounds like ask Man, but this is not asked Bend Anny. 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:20.720 This is no, no, no, this this is a totally 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:26.640 different feature. Alright, totally different. People always confuse this with 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.440 Aspen and I don't understand why this is. This is 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:36.200 nothing like, nothing like ask Ben, unless it's a mirror image. No, no, no, no, no, 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.440 no you, no one, No one would be so lazy 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:40.320 is to copy a bit from the radio show and 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:43.440 put it on the podcast. Who would do that? You'd 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:46.200 be You'd be going bonkers if you did that. This 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.360 isn't not the number one station anymore? Is it? Without 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.800 further ado, let's strike up the band. Ohio al is 0:01:52.920 --> 0:02:12.280 here and into the mail bag we go.

Now, before we get 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:04.760 into the official official mailbag, I did get a message 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:08.679 from one of our our faithful listeners, which I was 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.239 a little worried about. I don't worry about, and I 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:13.440 didn't put this in the mailbag, so this is not 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:15.800 really the official start of the mailbag, but it was 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:19.800 a message. So I got an email from one of 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:26.040 our fans in northern California, Robbie, who he had mentioned 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.680 that I was complaining on the show about the only 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:32.600 mail we get at the mother Ship is from Andy Ferman. 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:36.240 I want a mature guy. I was trying to figure 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:40.280 out how this is like a national network, five affiliates, 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.920 satellite radio, international audience and the only male I ever 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:46.720 see is from Andy Ferman, And I was like, what's 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.640 up with that? So anyway, Robbie sent a message in 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.360 and he attached some pictures here of the gift that 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.960 he had sent back in. We talked about this. This 0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:00.520 thing got stuck in storage because I moved right after 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.160 I got the gift and I didn't have a chance 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:04.760 to open it, and so we talked about this on 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.240 the podcast. So anyway, I was trying to find the 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.920 date of the podcast, Danny. I could not find it. 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.800 But Robbie sent me a message like, hey, you know, 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.480 here's mayl. You didn't open this, So I was I 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:17.200 was a little bummed up because I was like, well, 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.040 we did open. I did a whole thing on the podcast. 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:20.960 We talked about that, Remember, Danny, we did a whole 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:24.239 thing podcast about Robbie and he sent a very nice letter, 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.640 and we read the letter on the show and he 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:30.960 talked about how special the wood was that was used. 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:33.960 It was old wood that was used for the cutting 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:39.960 board and the what's that thee Yeah, yeah, So I 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.960 don't know which show it was. All these shows they 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:46.159 they roll one after another and I don't We don't 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.720 have a good log of them. I don't anyway, Maybe 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:50.320 you do, Danny, but I don't have a good log. 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:51.640 And so I went back and I tried to find 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:56.600 I couldnot find the date on that. That was a 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.640 fake start. That was a false flag start. Let's get 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:04.960 into a Now the real mail bag begins and mail 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.800 all right, Jason from Rocky Non Virginia Rights and says, hey, guys, 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:11.240 I did a bit thinking about it, and maybe Danny 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.920 G should be referred to. Oh, this is the nickname thing, Danny, 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.360 Remember you wanted a nickname. Danny should be referred to 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.479 as Doc, as in Doc Brown from Back to the 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:24.480 Future for science experiments your thust. Do you do you 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.880 want to be called Doc? Well? That is one of 0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:31.120 my favorite movies from the eighties. It's a solid film. Yeah, 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:37.279 just Josh, he tweeted us. The Darwin of Dodgeball. That's 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:41.840 the man who put the O G in scientology. Yeah. 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.320 I like it. It's a little Tom cruise ish there. 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.200 He says. Coming up with a new nickname is tough. 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:50.839 Since you've gone Danny G. The science on me going 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:57.760 with the scientifical turntable of elementary ins. Wow, that's a 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:04.000 long one. That's a mouthful. Yeah, I'm didn't nickname. They 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:09.640 gotta be short. The Darwin of dodge that's that is solid. Yeah, 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:12.960 because it combines the two things science and earlier in 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.640 the school year beating all those kids in the head 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:21.479 with the dodgeballs. That's true. Stop bad. And I gotta 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:25.400 thank Terry really quick because he sent me some lesson plans. 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:30.480 Oh he did nice he's also a teacher. Yeah sweet, yeah, 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:34.120 thank you Terry from England. Yeah yeah, Terry has been 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:37.000 listening for a long time. He's a ham radio guy 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.200 like my dad used to be back in the day 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.120 and all that. Yeah, Terry very opinionated, that guy, Terry, 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:46.479 he does not, he does not. One of his emails 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:50.080 had this whole thing on parachutes. And so last week 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:52.680 a big part of my week was teaching the kids 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.359 all about parachutes. And then we spent a couple of 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:59.320 days making those cool toy parachutes. Oh that is neat. 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:02.880 I like it, loved it. Terry got upset with me. 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.200 He said, I did list radio, he yelled at me. 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:07.279 But I did not do list radio. I did Big 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.960 Ben's Big Board, and Big Ben's Big Board is not 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:13.120 list radio, Dame. That's a little different. No, it's much different. 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:18.560 It's totally the board, not a list no, exactly. And 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.400 I tried to explain this to Terry, and Terry would 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.000 not he would have none of it. And several of 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:26.040 the listeners were upset, you just doing list radio now, 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:28.720 I said, no, I've never done list radio. You've known 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:30.960 me a long time, Danny, have I ever done list radio. No, 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:35.440 you've done board radio. That's right. I have. I have 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:40.400 had more people fall asleep listening to me than anyone else. Wow, 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:48.800 oh my, oh my god, that has happened. So anyway, 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:55.440 moving on, come back, it's sim call Mike from Fullerton 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:58.920 and so Cal Stones throw away from the Big A says, 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.840 I have a couple the project ideas for Danny G 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.840 The Science MC. What do you think about that? Danny 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:09.679 G The Science MC? Pretty cool? That's not bad, Mike says. 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.840 One of my favorites was the egg drop. Have the 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.760 kids build a container to prevent an egg from cracking 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:18.880 after a long fall. Yeah, that's not bad. Have you 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.160 done that one? I actually, um well, I haven't done 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.680 that at this school, but at my last school we 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:26.560 did do that, and I came in second place. I 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:30.160 challenged the kids. I made one myself, and this little 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.280 girl bend. She had this Lebron James look in her eyes, 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.280 and she told me, as she used the third roll 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:44.000 of tape, I am not gonna lose. I don't like losing. Good, damn, 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.800 you're in second grade. Where'd you get that fire from? 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:49.760 I like it to check whether or not her her 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:53.200 egg broke Ben It took a good six seven minutes 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:57.120 to untape and unwrap all the layers this girl had, 0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:59.760 and she won the prize. She came in first place. 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:01.720 To what was her move? Like, how did she do it? 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:06.440 She just food, Yeah, just layer after layer she did, 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.760 like this whole kind of bubble tape system and then 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:13.679 had paper plates on the outside and then rolls of tape, 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:16.920 more rolls of tape. I mean it looked like this 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:20.280 huge bowling ball made out of tape. I like her 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:23.920 attitude to like if I was a scout, like looking 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.360 for someone. I want people that have that at it, 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:30.880 because they say, if you're passive, you can get buy 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:33.040 in your talent for a while. But I need people 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:35.160 that have that. I'm I'm not I'm not gonna lose, 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.360 you know, I'm going Yeah, Like she told me, I 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:39.920 do not lose. I do not like to lose. I 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:43.000 Am not going to lose. And she's looking me straight 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:44.760 in the eyes as she said those words, and I 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:48.120 was like, damn, this little girl means business. Sure enough, 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.320 she was the winner. There you go, all right, good 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:53.439 job by her. Here we go. I got mail, yea, 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:58.000 I got mail, yea. Fan Jimmy from big Orange Country rights, 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.400 and he says, well, why are y'all bleep been out 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.080 some cuss words on the podcast. Looks like Jimmy wants 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:06.720 some bad words. Let it go because it feels like 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:10.080 we're all hanging out in the backyard playing corn hole 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:15.080 and drinking beer, is what he's saying. So he would 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:19.120 like us to not bleep function all those words. He 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:22.240 wants all those words on the podcast. Is are there 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:25.280 a lot of bleeps on the podcast? Is this a fan? Well, 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:28.280 not a ton, But when we say really bad words, 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.360 you remember, we had quite a few listeners say they 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:35.920 like because they felt like when we curse, it's a 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:39.240 little unnatural because they don't hear us talk like that 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:42.280 on the radio. So when we do it, yeah, they're 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:46.000 like Ben Fields forced when he curses like that. If 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:50.120 you don't know the facts, then you got right at 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.319 the beginning of me working with you on this podcast, 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.000 I bleeped out our curse words and it was a 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:58.760 funny bit. It seems like you're listening to something you 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:03.439 shouldn't be listening to. All right, So this asshole Jimmy 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:08.439 Vols fan Jimmy, he's he wants to hear the curse words. 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:11.440 So here's the guy. I'm just for Jimmy. I'll let 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:15.400 a couple go. All right, you piece of shit all 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:22.240 you are such an asshole, you mother? Yeah, alright, okay, 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.520 all right, I'll keep it going on the mail bag. 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:30.600 And who is next? Enie meany mighty mo? Pick a letter? 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.559 I got a lot to choose from here. Let's say, hello, 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:37.800 we have Helen and Stu oh Mallard Town, USA. Helen 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:43.760 and stew checking in. Always a spicy hot couple when 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:48.560 they send in questions here. That's right, Helen says, Boys, 0:11:48.679 --> 0:11:52.520 we are not back in Florida yet, crazy vacation recap 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:58.760 and next week's maybe by full shizzle fo drizzle. Helen writes. 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:04.400 She says, now on nan Tucket, we can tell you this. 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:09.640 Last week, one of you correctly guess the category for 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:16.200 which Stu almost died, And remember I did, Yes, what 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.600 was yours? I thought he almost fell off a cliff 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:24.800 when they were hiking. You thought he ate something bad? Yeah, 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:26.880 I thought he had a food reaction. That was one 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:30.240 of them working I think working out. Did I go 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:33.800 with the working out one or something? So? I think so? Anyway, 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.839 Helen says, is it you've been the distant relative of 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:41.960 Nostre damas or is it the experiment? Danny g Radio, 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:46.920 she's calling you the experience. By the way, we included 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:53.360 not one, but two category clues in this letter. Can 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:58.760 you find them? Can you solve the student death puzzle? 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:02.959 We he used to Please see you next week, Helen 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:06.520 and Stu mallardtown us. All right, so let's see what 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:10.480 the the clues are here? What do you think you're 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:16.000 the experiment? Is that a clue? ChIL? What's that?

Yeah? I guess it's too early in the 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:30.680 morning for me to to put this together. I gotta 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.560 put the jigsaw puzzle together. Come on, Helen, this is 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:36.520 a mailbag, not a quiz. How dare you? What is 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.520 up with that? The safe travels you two kids and 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:43.240 said there would be no thinking on this podcast. I 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:47.760 know I turned my brain off here. What's wrong with you? 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:54.480 I mean, come on? Jennifer in Richmond, Virginia. Right. Since 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:57.000 it's Ben in Daniji, it was cool to see photos 0:13:57.000 --> 0:14:01.520 of Louis and his person human man Matt in studio 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:05.200 with you, Jennifer says, when I make it out the 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.000 out that way later this year, would I also be 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:11.720 granted the privilege to sitting next to the great Ben Mallory. Wow, 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:15.360 I'll bring food for everyone and some merch from Richmond's 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:21.240 minor league baseball team, the Flying Squirrels featuring their mascot Nutsie. 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:24.600 It's very kind. How could I pass that up? Jennifer? 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.960 I love minor league baseball. I support minor league baseball. 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:32.720 I also love minor league baseball hats, unique cats. That 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:35.440 would be cool. The Flying Squirrels, So they have a 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:37.440 squirrel on the hat, that would be different. I don't 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:40.720 have a squirrel hat. At the old house, the old 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:43.280 Mallard mansion we used to have. There was something moving 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:46.440 around in the uh the attic, and we're pretty sure 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:48.640 it was a squirrel or two. We think there were 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.680 two squirrels in the attic. But I'll make a deal 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:53.440 with the Jennifer. Let me know. You gotta give me 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:56.520 some advanced notice here because my schedule every week is different. 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:00.200 Some weeks I come in on Monday or sun Day. 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:02.720 Some weeks that come in on Thursday or Friday. It 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:06.080 just really depends on how I'm feeling that week. But 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.080 if you let me know what when you're gonna be there, 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.760 we'll work something out. And also, as you know, Danny G, 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:13.520 when we have people and they're not allowed to stay, 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:15.080 like you can't stay for the whole show, you don't 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:18.160 stay for a little bit. I was just gonna mention 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:21.480 that you don't open your work email often. There was 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:25.360 actually an email from our boss, Scott Shapiro, and he 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:28.120 said about you having a guest for a segment, which 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:31.680 is okay, that it's one dollars from here on out 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:36.440 and that goes to the Danny g Runch Foundation. Yes, 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:38.840 the tickets, Well, that's a good idea, Danny. We could 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:43.000 we could put a couple of rows of folding chairs 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:46.560 in the studio and that'd be we could do all. 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:48.440 How about some podcasts they go out and do a 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:52.160 live podcast. We could like record the podcast somewhere. We 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:55.480 do Golden tickets, O, can you do a thing like this? 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:58.400 I was helping you bring that into the show back 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:01.160 in the day. We could go from golden tickets to 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:05.240 platinum seats. Oh yeah, platinum seats will be right next 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:07.280 to you for a segment. When I used to work 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:10.760 with Lee Hamilton's San Diego Hacksaw Hamilton's he did a 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:13.640 summer book tour which was just a killer of time 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:16.560 on the radio. But hacks I would do that, And 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:22.360 how about a summer podcast tour. One weekend we're in Minnesota, 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:27.840 we go to Cincinnati, We'll travel to you know whoever 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:31.280 you I want about Houston, but we'll pick some random cities. 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:35.240 I don't know about that. Uh well, we'll pick some 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:38.200 random places and we'll go have a fine time. Sounds good. 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:40.440 I'm sure my heart will pick up the tab for 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:44.600 that immediately. Yes, yes, they're on it right now and 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:49.760 absolutely whatever you need, whatever you need, they will be there. 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:58.840 Calm down, all right, come back, it's sign from now. 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:02.840 Call Evan in Kansas right soon, He says. Dear Ben, 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:06.760 I've noticed you've become quite the chef with what with 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:12.080 your grilling, baking, griddling. Recently I brought I bought an 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:15.919 air fryer, Bannon Danigy. Do you have any experience with 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:20.840 the air fryer. If so, what foods have you enjoyed? Yes, Kevin, 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:24.360 the air fryer is a sneaky good kitchen and device 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:28.280 it's wonderful. Now it's not as good as traditional fried food, 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:32.240 but it's not bad. And I love finger foods. I 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:35.600 got at Costco years ago. They had as a sampler 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:41.240 these little mini hardshell tacos as an appetizer. Have you 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.800 ever had those? You probably have? I have. And we 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:47.680 also get those Costco taketo's. Oh yeah, taketos are great. 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:50.200 The mini tacos are you know, they're hard to find, 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:53.520 those little mini tacos. They have chicken and beef corn 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:58.119 dogs from the corn dogs are oh yeah, Oh it's wonderful. 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:01.040 And you just it's like that late rom pop peel guy. 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:02.840 You set it and forget it. You put that stuff 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:05.200 in the air fryer. It's good to go. It's easy 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:09.520 to clean olive oil cooking spray and just coat the 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:14.720 layer of the air fryer pan. Yeah to go to Yeah. No, 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:16.480 I'm a big fan of the airfare Kevin, So I 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:22.520 recommend my top three the the mini tacos, Keto's and 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:26.360 the chicken finger so you can put chicken fingers in there. 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:28.639 Those are pretty good. Two fries you can put it 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:32.600 chicken wings in there. Yeah, fries, And we do the 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:35.359 sweet potato fries in there. Okay, yeah, I mean it's 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:38.160 it's really cool. It's good. And then you have something 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:40.520 in the oven if you're cooking something in the oven, 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:42.119 and then you can put the like the fries, the 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:45.360 side dish in the air fryer. And that's the way 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:48.040 to do it. Absolutely on that all right. Next up 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:52.720 on the male bag a mail bag, mailbag, mailbag, I 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:57.680 got mal yea, I got male Yea. Chris and Marri 0:18:57.760 --> 0:18:59.800 Coca to Iowa.

They used to do a bit 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:09.080 where they would send a playboy bunny to test the 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:14.040 fidelity of husbands at the request of the wife and 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:17.520 have them both on the air the following week.

They've been on 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:26.159 l A radio for a long time. They used to 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:29.760 be Heidi Frank and was Frosty Heidi and Frank? Yeah, yeah, 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:32.520 Frosty was in there. They whacked Frosty, huh. I guess 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:34.639 they couldn't have he was he was a victim of 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:38.280 COVID right when COVID was starting. Oh he didn't die, 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:40.560 he just lost his you know, he was an early 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:45.680 COVID cut. Yeah he didn't yeah cut, yeah, dollary cut. Yeah, 0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:48.960 I know about that. Uh So, anyway, I know of them, 0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:51.159 I have not met them. I don't believe. I remember 0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:53.399 Frank had his house burned down in a fire. I 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:58.080 heard about that in the one of the wildfires right 0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:00.480 around my area here. So I don't know. Do you 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:04.320 know Heidi and Frank. I have met Frank. He's very cool, 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:07.439 and he's got a cannabis line right now that's doing well. 0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:12.080 And they also have an alcohol beverage line that's doing well. 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:17.040 They got that right now. They got into the too 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:22.120 dream industries for radio people. Yeah, so then do they 0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:24.879 do commercials on their show? Have to buy commercials? I 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:27.720 guess the radio station is cut in on the deal 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:34.080 because they get to freely promote both things, so hallelujah. 0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:36.760 Or they take lesson salary and just make their money 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:39.679 on them. Yeah. Correct, the weed and the booze and 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:42.840 all that good stuff. All right, So there you go, 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:46.760 Danny has met Frank.

He says, Benny, 0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:57.560 I think that you have a huge following in Nashville, 0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:03.320 with many being ones and some just being active contributors. 0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:07.000 So the question is when are you coming to Nashville 0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:10.119 for a meet and greet. Barry says, you can visit 0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:16.199 the Johnny Cash Museum, see a full scale replica of Partheon. 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:19.440 Is that how that said? Right? I think, uh, toward 0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:21.560 the Country Music Hall of Fame, and you can even 0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:27.480 visit the Honky Tonks on Broadway. But we uh, he says, 0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:30.600 but we will meet off Broadway, maybe at Losers bar 0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:37.240 On Division. We know you love Losers. Yes, So when 0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:39.400 is this going to happen? Barry says, well, I would 0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:41.600 like to get to Nashville. I know, Danny you've been there. 0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:46.080 But the the Grand Old Opry. I watched the documentary 0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:49.199 on PBS and I'd love to check that out. I know, 0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:51.480 I guess they got rid of the original Grand Old Opry, right, 0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:54.320 so it's a it's a new opery outside, but do 0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:58.440 they have the original building? But the theater is still there? Yeah, 0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:01.000 that's the one. The Ryman and when you go on 0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:04.040 the Rhyman tour, it is amazing the history of that 0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:07.720 building and they still put on shows there. Yeah, I'd 0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:09.800 like to see that.

He 0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:32.080 brought me to some wonderful food there when I was 0:22:32.160 --> 0:22:36.439 in Nashville.

The problem is, I've 0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:01.040 determined the problem with all these things is money. It 0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:04.520 always comes back to money. Like, if I had money, travels, 0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:07.760 what gets you the travel? I gotta be like Lance 0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:10.000 the Buster or Lance the Bus driver flies all over 0:23:10.040 --> 0:23:13.080 the world.

As you know, you're a 0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:00.640 big part of the show and you were a big 0:24:00.680 --> 0:24:02.240 part of what we did every day, and so when 0:24:02.240 --> 0:24:05.880 you left, it was not not simple to just pick 0:24:06.000 --> 0:24:08.879
