Speaker 1: Kutbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to the Clearinghouse
Speaker 2: of hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth
Speaker 2: Hour with Ben Mahler starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere.
Speaker 3: The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben Mahler and Danny G
Speaker 3: Radio Happy NFL Sunday to you.
Speaker 1: It is week eight.
Speaker 3: It started with a dud and absolute dot of a
Speaker 3: game back on Thursday with the Vikings no show against
Speaker 3: the Charges. It continues all day today and Danny G.
Speaker 3: But we're still in the afterglow of the World Series
Speaker 3: last night as this the mailbag. We will get to
Speaker 3: the mailbag at some point. But Yoshinobu Yamamoto living up
Speaker 3: to his contract. You don't get credit down, you know.
Speaker 3: My theory on this is you don't get extra credit
Speaker 3: for doing what you're supposed to do when you're the
Speaker 3: highest paid pitcher in baseball. But it is refreshing that
Speaker 3: he went out there and pitched a four hitter the
Speaker 3: second consecutive complete game, first time that's happened in a decade,
Speaker 3: in the first complete game of the World Series in
Speaker 3: a decade, and the first time we've had this type
Speaker 3: of dominance since Kurt Schilling back twenty five or twenty
Speaker 3: four years ago, way back in the day with the diamondback.
Speaker 3: So great performance by him and the Dodgers get to win.
Speaker 3: I guess we'll frame it this way. What stands out
Speaker 3: from Game two of the World Series other than the
Speaker 3: obvious the Oceanobu Yamamoto who is dominating on the mound,
Speaker 3: and Will Smith, who had been kind of up and down,
Speaker 3: mostly down. Three RBIs at the home run gave him
Speaker 3: the lead, and the Dodgers are squared up coming back
Speaker 3: to Dodgers Stadium tomorrow for Game three of the World Series,
Speaker 3: which is pretty cool.
Speaker 4: First, can we address the trolls who came out in droves.
Speaker 3: If you want to talk about Justin and Cincinnati and
Speaker 3: some other schmucks like that, that's fine. They all go
Speaker 3: into hiding when the Dodgers went.
Speaker 1: Isn't it amazing?
Speaker 4: Four days ago there were all these phonies out there
Speaker 4: dancing on the Dodger's grave as if that was a
Speaker 4: Game seven victory. Obviously Snell didn't have it. The bullpen
Speaker 4: yacked all over the mound, which we kind of expected
Speaker 4: to happen if one of our good starters didn't have
Speaker 4: what it took to go far enough into the game.
Speaker 4: Were we super surprised by that? I wasn't. I mean
Speaker 4: I didn't think they would score eleven runs. But if
Speaker 4: you told me Snell was going to get into the
Speaker 4: jams he got into and throw as many pitches as
Speaker 4: he did, then I would have told you, yeah, he's
Speaker 4: going to lose that game. But then suddenly everything's quiet.
Speaker 4: Right last night, those same trolls were missing in action.
Speaker 3: Well, they had things to do, Danny. They cannot be
Speaker 3: bothered to go online because the life of patrol, you're
Speaker 3: a coward and you hide. You hide when the outcome
Speaker 3: you don't like is not there, so go pound send
Speaker 3: And this even the last the game last night.
Speaker 1: Gosman was pitching great. I mean he was pitching.
Speaker 3: He retired seventeen guys in a row at one point,
Speaker 3: but Yamamoto better with the twenty.
Speaker 1: But the final twenty batters of the game that he.
Speaker 4: Shows, Yeah, well, he got into trouble early in the
Speaker 4: game and threw what twenty five pitches first inning, but
Speaker 4: then he only threw eighty three pitches in the last
Speaker 4: eight innings.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I I've criticized John Smoltz for his obsession
Speaker 3: with momentum. But one thing we're on the same page
Speaker 3: with is John went on a rant late in the
Speaker 3: game about pitch counts and how everyone's obsessed with pitch
Speaker 3: counts in baseball and it's they're not all the same.
Speaker 3: And I thought it was nice. I agree with him
Speaker 3: on that. But Yamamoto, now, this guy in the playoffs.
Speaker 3: I know it's a sample size. He's only been with
Speaker 3: the Dodgers a couple of years. This postseason, he's got
Speaker 3: a one point six to oerer in the twenty twenty
Speaker 3: five postseason back to back complete games. As we mentioned there,
Speaker 3: that's chilling. That's Madison Bumgardner type performance this postseason and
Speaker 3: in October baseball, he's allowed seventeen hits in almost twenty
Speaker 3: nine innings so far, he's only walked four guys and
Speaker 3: everything's just absolutely beautiful. But again, this is the highest
Speaker 3: paid pitcher in baseball.
Speaker 1: You're supposed to pitch like that he is.
Speaker 3: Everyone knows the bullpen blows, and he was a one
Speaker 3: man band and it was great. It was It was
Speaker 3: wonderful to see the first guy with multiple complete games
Speaker 3: in the postseason since Mad Bum back in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 4: So that was the last time a Dodger's done it
Speaker 4: since Oral Hirsteizer.
Speaker 1: It's been it's been a minute.
Speaker 3: And so after Game one, the Dodgers definitely needed this
Speaker 3: the bullpen. I was texting Vass the Enemy of the
Speaker 3: Overnight Show there about this, and there's a pointing out now.
Speaker 3: If I was doing Dodger talk, I would just say
Speaker 3: the Dodgers had one bat inning. They give up nine
Speaker 3: runs in that one bat inning, but you know it happens.
Speaker 3: They wrote the vomit comet in that game. And then
Speaker 3: Yamamoto saving their bacon with you know what that was, Danny.
Speaker 3: That was a Jerry Lee Lewis performance. Great balls of
Speaker 3: fire for Yamamoto. He was outstanding, and it was like
Speaker 3: a fast food combo mill. You gotta have it, one
Speaker 3: of those gotta have it situations. You know, the Dodgers
Speaker 3: could have still won the World Series if they'd lost
Speaker 3: the first two games in Toronto much easier now. You know,
Speaker 3: went two of three at Dodger Stadium and then you
Speaker 3: got to win one in Toronto to win the World Series.
Speaker 3: So you're in really good shape. And that's why you
Speaker 3: you have the money, the resources to pay the highest
Speaker 3: paid pitcher in baseball history. And you don't, you know,
Speaker 3: pay him for April and San Diego or May in
Speaker 3: San Francisco, or June in Colorado or August in Arizona.
Speaker 3: It's it's for octobers, for nights like this last night,
Speaker 3: and it's good.
Speaker 4: Hey, by the way, those cheating Asstros and their alumni. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I didn't want him to get hit in the head,
Speaker 4: but I loved how Springer got plunked in that game. Yeah, yes, well,
Speaker 4: and then he almost got hit in the nuts again
Speaker 4: the second time, Big Norminal, first in the arm and
Speaker 4: then almost in the nuts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a shame.
Speaker 3: You you really just hate to see that. You just
Speaker 3: hate to you know, because they're playing for a hunk
Speaker 3: of metal.
Speaker 1: They're playing for a hunk of.
Speaker 4: Cheater.
Speaker 3: Cheata, cheatah, cheetah, cheatah. We're gonna the Dodgers have announced
Speaker 3: on Monday, tomorrow's game they're gonna take all the trash
Speaker 3: cans out of Dodger Stadium. So I don't know what
Speaker 3: Springer is gonna be able to do with that, but
Speaker 3: I get yes, Yamamoto though, like we I'm so programmed
Speaker 3: for these guys to puke like Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 1: On big games. And remember David Price was another guy.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, that's why when you started by saying, hey,
Speaker 4: he gets paid the big dollars, this is hi. But
Speaker 4: obviously big money and contracts don't guarantee anything. We've seen
Speaker 4: so many of our favorite players fall on their face
Speaker 4: in moments where we wish they could have been mister Clutch.
Speaker 1: So I did the malord math on this.
Speaker 3: Danny Ya, I'm a moto in two World Series starts,
Speaker 3: once against the Yankees last year and now this game
Speaker 3: against Toronto has a one point one nine ERA in
Speaker 3: his World Series career.
Speaker 4: As a starter.
Speaker 1: That is that is Ruthian.
Speaker 3: It's not hyperbole, this is well, I guess ruth Of
Speaker 3: course he was a hitter by the time the Glory
Speaker 3: Days happened. But and again I want to go back
Speaker 3: to the pitch count. I thought, you know, Smoltz, I
Speaker 3: agree with him on that. I ripped Smoltz with the
Speaker 3: momentum stuff. I agree with the pitch count stuff. I
Speaker 3: don't care about you know, how many pitches the rest days,
Speaker 3: all that crap that, you know. If I'm the Dodge
Speaker 3: and I it's nice that they didn't fall back on
Speaker 3: the analytics. As I'm telling you, Danny, if that had
Speaker 3: been a regular season game in June or July, they
Speaker 3: would have taken him out. He would have been out
Speaker 3: of the game in the fifth inning or something like that.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know a bunch of cars yet.
Speaker 4: Before the postseason began, he didn't even get to finish
Speaker 4: that game where he had the no hitter going. Remember, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: you got. All he needed was that last out, and
Speaker 4: Dave Roberts didn't even give him that. You're one hundred,
Speaker 4: You're a thousand percent right about that. Throw the stupid
Speaker 4: analytics or most of them out the window. During the postseason.
Speaker 4: You gotta go with your gut and your eyeballs when
Speaker 4: it matters the most.
Speaker 1: You got to ride this guy like secretariat.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: My god, was that's just outstanding.
Speaker 4: Sounds like a machine. I felt like he could have
Speaker 4: thrown a couple more innings, which is crazy. That's Nolan
Speaker 4: Ryan like I was great.
Speaker 3: Listen, it was wonderful. Are you ready for some fun facts?
Speaker 3: Are you prepared for fun facts? Now, Danny about the
Speaker 3: World Series? Are you prepared for this? No fun fact?
Speaker 1: You're craping fun facts.
Speaker 3: This is the thirteenth consecutive World Series without a sweep.
Speaker 3: That is the longest streak in baseball history. Were guaranteed
Speaker 3: of at least five games in the World Series, so
Speaker 3: all three games obviously Monday and Tuesday were gonna happen,
Speaker 3: but Wednesday as well at Dodger Stadium, so all three
Speaker 3: will be played, so at least a five game World Series.
Speaker 3: This is only the second time this postseason the Blue
Speaker 3: Jays have been held the one run. They're averaging six
Speaker 3: point eight runs a game this postseason, so the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: That's how that's even more impressive. You can say how
Speaker 3: good the Blue Jays have been playing on offense. And
Speaker 3: you mentioned Yamamoto since oral Hrscheiser, here's another bonus fun fact.
Speaker 3: Any Yoshinobu Yamamoto, he retired the twenty consecutive to end
Speaker 3: the game. Twenty consecutive Toronto batters. That's the most consecutive
Speaker 3: batters retired by Dodger Pittra in a postseason game since
Speaker 3: Carl Erskine for the old Brooklyn Dodgers back in nineteen
Speaker 3: fifty two.
Speaker 1: Who been a minute?
Speaker 3: There you go, It's been been a while and baseball
Speaker 3: is getting killed for uh the in game For some reason.
Speaker 3: The Jonas Knox brothers performance there during the during the
Speaker 3: World Series was not People were like, what are you doing?
Speaker 4: Wait, I got a tweet for you about that. That's
Speaker 4: a love though.
Speaker 3: All right, Jonas Knox's brothers performing in the middle of
Speaker 3: the world said, what are you doing? Who signed off
Speaker 3: on that? That's a good idea. Let's press pause the game.
Speaker 3: We got the Jonas brothers here, boys, We'll get back
Speaker 3: to the World Series for the Jonas brothers.
Speaker 4: This dude tweeted though during the game, after after Muncie
Speaker 4: and Will Smith hit their dingers, he tweeted, I think
Speaker 4: what sparked the Dodgers was that Jonas brothers performance because
Speaker 4: the pasty Dodgers like Will Smith and Max Munsey.
Speaker 3: Got hyped racist, Yeah, hype.
Speaker 4: They hit him right in the heart, hit some home runs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: I did not see my guy Marlin's man behind home play.
Speaker 3: But did you see who was sitting behind home play
Speaker 3: a bigger star than marlins man.
Speaker 4: Well that guy with the bet sign.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, not that guy.
Speaker 3: Off to the right there a man who's the one
Speaker 3: of the great restauranteurs of our time was sitting right there.
Speaker 1: Colonel Sanders. There was a guy did you see, Colonels?
Speaker 3: Yes, the guy, well he's dead, the real Colonel Sanders.
Speaker 3: But here's the thing. There's an internet conspiracy theory. There
Speaker 3: was a guy doing cosplay as Colonel Sanders sitting right
Speaker 3: behind home play at the Wororad series last night.
Speaker 4: And do you think he was just trying out his
Speaker 4: Halloween costume.
Speaker 3: No, no, it's it's deeper. It's from the shadow realm.
Speaker 4: Danny.
Speaker 3: This is wild.
Speaker 1: So I fell down this rabbit hole. I was like, like,
Speaker 1: what is that?
Speaker 4: Is this for?
Speaker 3: Like promoting Canadian KFC or something. Well, the theory is
Speaker 3: it's actually they were trying to curse Yamamoto that there's
Speaker 3: said to be a Japanese curse, and that's why they
Speaker 3: dressed the guy's Colonel San behind home plate. And and
Speaker 3: I didn't know anything about this, And now what I'm
Speaker 3: about to say, Danny might be completely bull crap, but
Speaker 3: I read it online, so I'm going to repeat it
Speaker 3: as the gospel.
Speaker 1: But suppose there's a curse of the Colonel.
Speaker 3: There's a belief in Japanese because Japanese baseball the ghost
Speaker 3: of Colonel Sanders's cursed cursed the Knepon Baseball League's hashin
Speaker 3: Tigers for throwing an in store statue of him in
Speaker 3: a river. So there's a curse from Japanese baseball. I
Speaker 3: don't know much more than that, but the team struggled
Speaker 3: for several years aparently after they threw the statue. I
Speaker 3: don't know how how did you end up throwing a
Speaker 3: Colonel Sanders statue into a river?
Speaker 4: That you have to be a big time Popeye fan
Speaker 4: to do that.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm more of a Canes guy. But anyway, well,
Speaker 3: there it is. That's all I got on the World Series.
Speaker 3: So cool the Dodgers with the three big Japanese although
Speaker 3: none of them played for the Hashin Tigers.
Speaker 4: So I like the fact that it's one to one
Speaker 4: Monday at our network tomorrow. We're gonna hear everybody from
Speaker 4: Dan Patrick down to Rob Parker, who, by the way,
Speaker 4: faulted the Dodgers because they heard their performance against the Brewers.
Speaker 3: The Brewers stink.
Speaker 4: When I saw raw, I was like, wrong. The Brewers
Speaker 4: literally were the best team all year. Yeah, but they
Speaker 4: stunk when it mattered the most.
Speaker 3: Ah, yeah, I didn't see last night. Who did Rob say?
Speaker 3: It was so quiet in Toronto you could hear us so?
Speaker 4: And so he doesn't do that until the series is over.
Speaker 3: I thought he did that after Game one, though, I
Speaker 3: swear I saw him post something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he might have, just because he hates La so much.
Speaker 4: He hates LA teams and so he's been reaching really
Speaker 4: badly on the whole Dodgers thing.
Speaker 1: Oh, he likes the weather and he definitely enjoys Joe's
Speaker 1: the f Yeah.
Speaker 4: Oh, he loves the women in the weather, but doesn't
Speaker 4: like any of our teams out here, I understand.
Speaker 3: All right, Let's get to the mailbag and our guy Ohio.
Speaker 3: How about that tribute yesterday, A great homage to Ohio.
Speaker 4: That was such a good cover of people are Strange.
Speaker 3: That was great, man Ohio al very talented, and I
Speaker 3: sent that in. I'm so glad we got to feature
Speaker 3: that on the fifth hour Saturday edition. But let's get
Speaker 3: into it in Ohio. I'll get me in the mood.
Speaker 4: It's bag.
Speaker 1: All right, very good.
Speaker 3: And the first one up is from Scott, representing the
Speaker 3: entire state of Florida. Says, Hey, bandon, Danny g what
Speaker 3: would the mal Or mailbox look like for the real
Speaker 3: fifth hour? We know Ohio. Al says, it's in the bag,
Speaker 3: so it's probably not one of those plastic boxes the
Speaker 3: US Postal Service gives to celebrity radio hosts like yourself
Speaker 3: who have an overflow of fan Man, if you had
Speaker 3: a real fifth hour mailbox, what would it be? A
Speaker 3: burlap bag, a traditional box the kids in the fifties
Speaker 3: hit with baseball bats, decorated every few months for the
Speaker 3: US holidays. Or is it just a slot in the
Speaker 3: Malor mansion front doors? Scott from Florida. Well, my mother,
Speaker 3: may she rest in peace. She ran a mailing business
Speaker 3: like mail junk mail, and we used to spend a
Speaker 3: lot of time I was a kid. We I helped
Speaker 3: my mom out trying to make a couple extra bucks.
Speaker 3: So we went to the post office a lot, and
Speaker 3: we had a lot of bulk mail bags, called them
Speaker 3: bulk mail, and so we always had those those are
Speaker 3: like thick government issued bags for mail. I believe Scott
Speaker 3: the malord mail bag would be that the fifth hour
Speaker 3: mail bag, which ohiowile, So you know.
Speaker 4: Those white US postal mail crates. Yes, of course we
Speaker 4: used to jack those and put our Vinyl records in there.
Speaker 4: Not bad man.
Speaker 3: We had a house full of bulk mail bags, those
Speaker 3: trays because my mom and she did a lot of us.
Speaker 3: She was hustling and we had a mom and pop
Speaker 3: family business and we ran a lot of junk mail.
Speaker 3: Those flyers you get from realtors and open house this
Speaker 3: that there used to be a lot back in the
Speaker 3: day before the Internet. It was insane, as you know Danny,
Speaker 3: with everything from coupons to you name it that was
Speaker 3: sent out as junk mail to people for dog In
Speaker 3: Spookerten writes in he says, hello Bloody Ben and Danny Gool.
Speaker 1: Happy Halloween guys. Well halloweens this week.
Speaker 3: It's not you have to wait oh this Like I said, well,
Speaker 3: we have a show Friday, which will be Halloween, and
Speaker 3: then we have yeah, okay, he says, Happy Halloween guys.
Speaker 3: This won't be a problem for me since I'll be
Speaker 3: out trick or treating. But do you have any tips
Speaker 3: for people who don't want kids walking up to their
Speaker 3: door begging for candy. Is just turning out the lights
Speaker 3: good enough or do you have to do more to
Speaker 3: scare them away? Also, is your favorite part of the
Speaker 3: oath hearing people screw it up? I saw Mike and
Speaker 3: Tucson struggling with it coming. Yeah, Mike, Mike called us up,
Speaker 3: Danny this week. His wife was in the hospital and Mike,
Speaker 3: I guess they had a I didn't know this.
Speaker 1: They have this at the hospital. They had like an
Speaker 1: open bar apparently the hospital their booze was flowing, and
Speaker 1: Mike called up.
Speaker 3: He took the oath from his wife's hospital bed, which
Speaker 3: was the first time we've ever done that, and it
Speaker 3: was a little tough to repeat some of the words.
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's the highlight.
Speaker 4: The highlight is what hospital is that? I've been to
Speaker 4: some hospitals before, never any of that fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess they might have a speakeasy there at
Speaker 3: the hospital in Tucson where Mike's hanging out and his
Speaker 3: poor wife, you know, she had a kid, I guess
Speaker 3: by C section and she had some issues some complications
Speaker 3: from that. So she's in the hospital, Mike's listening to
Speaker 3: the show, probably forcing her to listen to the show,
Speaker 3: and then he wants to take the oath he puts
Speaker 3: her on the air.
Speaker 1: There was a whole bunch of stuff. It was weird.
Speaker 3: Anytime there's a cosmic, there's like a new moon, there's
Speaker 3: weird stuff that happens. As for the Halloween thing, I'm
Speaker 3: reminded every Halloween about my dad would never leave his
Speaker 3: house on Halloween as he got older.
Speaker 1: Yeah, those kids out there, I don't want to drop
Speaker 1: m going, God, I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was our house house arrest, my dad house
Speaker 3: arrest on Halloween.
Speaker 4: Every year.
Speaker 3: He would not leave the house, afraid he was gonna
Speaker 3: run into one of the kids with his car.
Speaker 4: So he just stayed at.
Speaker 1: Home on Halloween.
Speaker 3: And I've noticed, and this is just in my small
Speaker 3: little bubble that I live in in the north Woods,
Speaker 3: but the number of trick or cheaters has gone so
Speaker 3: far down as I remember from like like ten years ago,
Speaker 3: fifteen years ago, it just feels like there's not as many.
Speaker 3: Maybe that's just my area, but I just don't see
Speaker 3: very many. We would buy these giant bags of candy
Speaker 3: for Halloween, and we'd end.
Speaker 1: Up from Costco.
Speaker 3: It was just like ten pounds of candy we'd give out,
Speaker 3: maybe less less than a pound, and then we'd all
Speaker 3: get fat eating all the candy that we got for
Speaker 3: the kids.
Speaker 4: Let me ask you about those bags of candy this
Speaker 4: year though. Brenda and I were inside Target a week
Speaker 4: ago and we were in the row looking at the
Speaker 4: Halloween candy. The big bag of candy twenty five ninety
Speaker 4: nine is a rip off, yah, And she she said,
Speaker 4: I used to get the big bag of candy here
Speaker 4: at Target for fifteen ninety nine. What's going on?
Speaker 3: Well, you gotta pay those tariffs, my man, you gotta
Speaker 3: put it.
Speaker 4: I don't know how's going on.
Speaker 3: I mean, they can't. They raised look at fast food
Speaker 3: of everything is insane.
Speaker 1: It's absolutely insane.
Speaker 4: Andy.
Speaker 3: They'll there's always the case with they'll keep raising the prices,
Speaker 3: as we've talked about Danny, until there's there is a
Speaker 3: breaking point. But they're gonna they're gonna toe the line
Speaker 3: and they're gonna go high as they can, and then
Speaker 3: then they'll roll it back a little bit and then
Speaker 3: they'll push it back up.
Speaker 1: That's how they're gonna do it.
Speaker 4: So she said in that aisle, she was standing there
Speaker 4: and I quote, holy shit, is this Disneyland candy? That's great.
Speaker 1: No, I agree with your wife. I'm right there with her.
Speaker 3: It's it's insane and going out to youat know, I
Speaker 3: spent most of the week in Vegas, and you know,
Speaker 3: it was just I mean, I'll rant about that probably
Speaker 3: when we get around to the podcast later on next
Speaker 3: week or something like that, but it was.
Speaker 1: It was ridiculous, and I love it.
Speaker 3: I have a love hate relationship with Vegas because I
Speaker 3: love going there and I'd like the energy and the
Speaker 3: vibe and all that.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people still go there. The tourism
Speaker 1: is down, but.
Speaker 3: It's just so it's again something that, Yeah, when you
Speaker 3: see something one way in life and then as you
Speaker 3: get older it changes. You'd like it the way it
Speaker 3: was because it was better the way it was, and uh,
Speaker 3: because it was cheaper and it was more effective, efficient
Speaker 3: all that stuff. Anyway, all right, moving on from that,
Speaker 3: by the way, what is I have a question, this
Speaker 3: is not a listener question. Had the plans for your
Speaker 3: your charming lad there, your son Danny any Halloween costume
Speaker 3: and you can dress him up.
Speaker 1: Does he want to? Does he understand Halloween? Does he
Speaker 1: want to get dressed up?
Speaker 4: Yeah? So he understands it. And they're reading books to
Speaker 4: him at the preschool about Halloween, and he says in
Speaker 4: his little voice, he says, spooky. That's great. And he
Speaker 4: loves pumpkins. They have two big pumpkins in the classroom.
Speaker 4: When they first get into the classroom, they're supposed to
Speaker 4: tap the pumpkins and then sit in their circle for
Speaker 4: story time. So he wants pumpkins. He got to go
Speaker 4: to Spirit Halloween a couple of weekends ago, and we
Speaker 4: got him a Lightning McQueen outfit. Oh sweet, all right, Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's so into cars right now.
Speaker 1: Oh Stanny?
Speaker 3: All right. Next one up is from our friend Kwang
Speaker 3: from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam.
Speaker 1: It says he's been regular.
Speaker 4: He emails us.
Speaker 3: Pretty much every week. Haven't heard from Reggie. Hopefully Reggie's
Speaker 3: all right. He's had an email this week. I don't
Speaker 3: think he's emailing.
Speaker 1: The couple anyway.
Speaker 3: That's not about Kwang does not care about Reggie and
Speaker 3: Detroit Big Ben, Danny G, Daddy G Radio What kind
Speaker 3: of drunk are you? And then he lists the four
Speaker 3: types of drunks which I love. The Ernest Hemingway drunk,
Speaker 3: named after the famous author, famous author known for holding
Speaker 3: his liquor. The Hemingway type experience this minimal personality change
Speaker 3: when intoxicated. The Mary Poppins drunk, named after the aforementioned
Speaker 3: fictional character Mary Poppins, becomes more.
Speaker 1: Agreeable, more cheerful when they've had a few.
Speaker 3: The nutty professor, and that is the type that represents
Speaker 3: the classic introvert who transforms into a social butterfly after drinking.
Speaker 3: And then you've got the mister hyde. And that is
Speaker 3: the negative change where you become you get those beer muscles,
Speaker 3: and you.
Speaker 1: Become more angrier, kind of.
Speaker 4: Like liquid courage.
Speaker 3: Yeah, erratic behavior, more aggressive. I'm definitely a bit more
Speaker 3: of the nutty professor. I think I'm I'm an introvert,
Speaker 3: so I have a couple of pops, I'll become more
Speaker 3: more social. I don't think I changed that much. Other
Speaker 3: people would have to determine that. What kind of drunk
Speaker 3: are you, Danny, Are you the Ernest Hemingway, the Mary Poppins,
Speaker 3: the nutty Professor, or the mister Hyde.
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm a mix of getting calm and laughing and
Speaker 4: being easy going. I'll keep to myself, so I'm not
Speaker 4: out there doing dances on tables or anything like that.
Speaker 4: But wine tasting with my better half. The very first
Speaker 4: time we did that, it was so fun because once
Speaker 4: we got a couple of pops, we were just dying,
Speaker 4: laughing over And it was during COVID, so there was
Speaker 4: a lot of things to be amused by. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: so I think it may. But when I drink too much, Ben,
Speaker 4: it makes me tired. So people who get like all
Speaker 4: crazy and all that, I'm I admire them almost because
Speaker 4: I'm like, how do they not want to go to
Speaker 4: bed like I'm you know what I mean? I would
Speaker 4: rather smoke because then you just get some munchies. When
Speaker 4: you drink too much, you feel like, oh man, let
Speaker 4: me get back to my house in my bed. I
Speaker 4: need to go to bed right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, I hear you on that. I'm not angry.
Speaker 3: I think I'm the nutty professor and not Mary Poppins.
Speaker 3: I'm definitely not Mary Poppins. I thank you quang either way.
Speaker 4: At the meat and greets, do you drink a little
Speaker 4: bit fire or at the beginning of the event, Yeah.
Speaker 1: The thing is it's weird about the meat gresse.
Speaker 3: I usually don't eat at them because I feel bad
Speaker 3: because people spent their time, so I don't do a
Speaker 3: lot eating.
Speaker 1: I will I'll have drinks. People usually buy me drinks.
Speaker 3: What happy you guys want to buy me a beer
Speaker 3: or whatever, which is cool, that's awesome you want to
Speaker 3: be And sometimes I'll turn it down, but I usually
Speaker 3: I'll accept a couple of them and then kind of
Speaker 3: get that going a little bit. Kevin and Kansas has
Speaker 3: Big Ben and Danny g the other day and by
Speaker 3: the way, Danny, before I I would do a complete recap.
Speaker 3: I was on the morning show on Kfan. They invited
Speaker 3: me Friday morning to go on their their morning show,
Speaker 3: which is insane. We were at a bar at New York,
Speaker 3: New York. It was packed at four in the morning.
Speaker 4: I saw your post on social media about this.
Speaker 3: It was I've never seen anything like it. And all
Speaker 3: these people flew in from Minnesota to Vegas. It wasn't
Speaker 3: in Minnesota, it was in Vegas. So I went over
Speaker 3: there thinking and I'll get into it on the on
Speaker 3: the Friday Pop Pro recap my trip to Vegas.
Speaker 1: But I thought there would be like maybe two people there. Oh,
Speaker 1: this will be a piece of cake.
Speaker 4: Just don't know. It was a party train and we
Speaker 4: already know. What do we know about Vegas and especially
Speaker 4: Allegiant Stadium. Oh my god, that's the weekend to go
Speaker 4: travel to Vegas and see your team play there.
Speaker 3: Well, that's the thing about it was they were the
Speaker 3: Vikings were in La and a lot of these people drove.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, a lot of these people went to
Speaker 3: the game. The Vikings didn't show up against the Rams
Speaker 3: on Thursday night. They then know, they left Sofi Stateium
Speaker 3: at nine o'clock, drove all night or not all night,
Speaker 3: but you know.
Speaker 1: It takes four or five hours to get to Vegas.
Speaker 3: And then they went and did watch the radio show
Speaker 3: from It started at three am. I got there at
Speaker 3: four and went all the way till we got done.
Speaker 3: I was on till I left at seven the show ended.
Speaker 4: So that's one of the reasons we love radio so much.
Speaker 4: The dedicated listeners. Yeah, it's so cool. Yeah, that station
Speaker 4: is next level. They love that station.
Speaker 3: In Minnesota more than they love the Vikings. I'm telling
Speaker 3: you it's wild. Anyway, Kevin and Kansas says dear Ben
Speaker 3: and Danny G. The other day, I was driving through Englewood, Texas,
Speaker 3: just as you were mentioning in the hood in Inglewood
Speaker 3: and up to no good? Does your area look anything
Speaker 3: like this? And you sent me a photo here of
Speaker 3: southwest Kansas. How many people in LA would like to
Speaker 3: attend a game here? Well, I would definitely feel safer
Speaker 3: in e N G L e Wood, Kansas leaving than
Speaker 3: I would at so far.
Speaker 1: Actually, no, SOFI is not that bad.
Speaker 3: You just gotta keep your windows up, don't make eye
Speaker 3: contact with anyone. You're in good shape. You're fine, nothing
Speaker 3: to worry about. People leave you alone. As long as
Speaker 3: you don't make eye contact, you're fine. But it looks
Speaker 3: like a nice big time. I see the water tower there, Kevin,
Speaker 3: very impressive water tower.
Speaker 1: Good job by you.
Speaker 3: Al from Memory Lane says, greetings, gentlemen, do you ever
Speaker 3: feel like we're being punked or living in the matrix?
Speaker 3: As a follow up to my former neighbors hosting a
Speaker 3: cat parade, we moved to the next parade, a corgy parade.
Speaker 3: Can an alien o Pliner catch a break now that
Speaker 3: the cat people have flaunted their pussies? Of course, he
Speaker 3: meant pussy Willow in my former hometown. It appears that
Speaker 3: the Findley Fanatic East Coast chapter has dropped.
Speaker 1: Anchor in my old neighborhood.
Speaker 3: Yeah, those Corgy people, Danny Man, I mean Brian Brian
Speaker 3: Fenley are colleague back in the day at Fox. That
Speaker 3: guy Holy can only man that that Corgy That was
Speaker 3: manh Yeah, that was next level.
Speaker 4: There's some peanut butter licking going on there.
Speaker 3: Hello, hello Daddy Barry in South Carolina. Right, since says
Speaker 3: yo Yo, Ma Benny and my man Danny g. This
Speaker 3: is a not a sport of question. It's not a
Speaker 3: sport of question. Rather, it is an entertainment conspiracy theory
Speaker 3: tied to the NFL that I would like to get
Speaker 3: your thoughts on.
Speaker 1: Here it goes.
Speaker 3: We know the NFL would like to have Taylor Swift
Speaker 3: perform at the halftime Super Bowl show, but have had
Speaker 3: no success and offered this year's halftime show to Bad
Speaker 3: Bunny so they can get Taylor Swift for this year.
Speaker 3: But they he says, I can't get Taylor Swift for
Speaker 3: this year, but they can get her on TV often
Speaker 3: during this year's Super Bowl if or if fiance is
Speaker 3: having happened to be playing in the game, Barry says,
Speaker 3: because she will be there and they can cut to
Speaker 3: her often. So the NFL has an interest in having
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift at the game, and the way to do
Speaker 3: that is to make sure that the Chiefs get to
Speaker 3: the super Bowl. And I think the invisible hand of
Speaker 3: the NFL, through the referees are doing, are going to
Speaker 3: rather going to do all they can to make sure
Speaker 3: that Kansas City wins and gets to the super Bowl.
Speaker 1: I mean, no penalties in the game against the Lions.
Speaker 3: Come on, what are your thoughts on my conspiracy theory, Danny,
Speaker 3: I'll I feel like this is a batting practice fastball
Speaker 3: for a Raider fan, So go ahead, Danny, take it.
Speaker 1: Go ahead.
Speaker 4: Do you think normally I would not buy into this
Speaker 4: sort of thing because I'm not the sort of fan
Speaker 4: it's like, Oh, it's the referees fault. No, it's your
Speaker 4: team's fault because they stink. And yes, as much as
Speaker 4: the Raiders stink this season. Watching the first quarter of
Speaker 4: that Raider Chiefs game, Ben I was scratching my head
Speaker 4: during a lot of that first quarter because every time
Speaker 4: the Raiders had a gain on offense, it got called back,
Speaker 4: and even the announcers that was a phantom call right
Speaker 4: there because they called a holding to bring like a
Speaker 4: twelve yard run back. They couldn't find the hold. And
Speaker 4: there's something to this. I'm not the type to say
Speaker 4: this is going to get them all the way to
Speaker 4: the super Bowl, but very lopsided.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm amazed that you can have officials not make
Speaker 3: a call. If I was a refee, these guys make
Speaker 3: We had the number twelve grand per game or something
Speaker 3: like that. These officials, if you're getting paid that money,
Speaker 3: don't you have to make some calls Because they're paying
Speaker 3: for you to fly to the game, to stay at
Speaker 3: a hotel.
Speaker 1: They're paying you twelve.
Speaker 4: Grand, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: It's like, we're this weird thing where you have to
Speaker 3: make some penalty calls.
Speaker 1: You could have every game.
Speaker 3: I would be a lot more enjoyable if you just
Speaker 3: left the referees's background noise and they didn't meddle with
Speaker 3: the game and let's just have him played.
Speaker 4: Oh no, I agree. If there's something egregious that affects
Speaker 4: the play, all it every time. But if it's something
Speaker 4: way far away from the ball and it's something very minor,
Speaker 4: and it's something that's not affecting the game. Day off
Speaker 4: your damn whistle.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you on that.
Speaker 3: He also says, my man Barry who put together helped
Speaker 3: us put together the Great Malard Meet and Greet in Charleston,
Speaker 3: South Carolina. He says, I am still here. I took
Speaker 3: my house off the market, he says, in September, waiting
Speaker 3: for the housing market to get better, meaning next few months,
Speaker 3: he thinks, lower interest rates, etc. And we'll relist in January.
Speaker 1: Hopefully there you go. All right, good luck to you
Speaker 1: on that. Let's hope those interest rates come down.
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, Lucky Tony Wrights and says, on the twenty
Speaker 3: seventeen pod, I says, hey, bandon Dany G. On the
Speaker 3: twenty seventeen pod, you mentioned Lemming and on Thursday show
Speaker 3: you said Lemmings walking off a cliff. I'm guessing that's Yiddish,
Speaker 3: he says, what's the definition, what's the spelling? Well, you
Speaker 3: could not be further from the truth there, Lucky Tony,
Speaker 3: he says. Bears, he says, and mister G, do you
Speaker 3: have words for from your.
Speaker 1: Youth that you still use?
Speaker 3: Ravens twenty seven Bears nineteen. That's lucky Tony, he says, Bears.
Speaker 3: So it's not Yiddish. I'll answer my part first, and
Speaker 3: then you can answer the phrases you have from your youth.
Speaker 3: The myth of lemmings is a phrase. It actually started
Speaker 3: from the Disney film White Wilderness. Insert racist drop right
Speaker 3: here in nineteen fifty eight Disney film White Wilderness, and
Speaker 3: this became part of the lexicon after that film. It
Speaker 3: had it was staged lemmings, which is an animal migrations,
Speaker 3: and the film depicted lemmings falling off cliffs into the sea,
Speaker 3: one after another.
Speaker 1: And so the phrase.
Speaker 3: Lemmings and you know, one Acalan lockstep and all that
Speaker 3: stuff walking off a cliff is from that Dizzy movie.
Speaker 3: And it was the belief that they committed mass suicide
Speaker 3: because they were just one after another, right to their demise.
Speaker 3: It turns out those scientists have determined that's bullshit. Lemmings
Speaker 3: do not actually commit mass suicide. Rather, they migrate in
Speaker 3: large numbers during population booms, which can lead to occasional
Speaker 3: mistakes because you know, there are lemmings and anyway, it's
Speaker 3: a myth from a Disney movie, and that's how that went,
Speaker 3: what about phrases from your youth, Danny, phrases from your youth?
Speaker 4: I don't know about phrases. How about slang?
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll take slag like you know the.
Speaker 4: Parts of California I'm from. If I was in agreement
Speaker 4: with you, like you said we're going to record Sunday
Speaker 4: morning at five am, I'd say I bet, and kids
Speaker 4: say bet again. That's slang that's come back, a lot
Speaker 4: of hip hop type slang, but no phrases.
Speaker 3: No, all right, thank you, ton. I love Lucky Tone,
Speaker 3: one of my favorite callers on the show. He's short,
Speaker 3: he gets right to the point. I wish he wouldn't
Speaker 3: curse as much, but he's very entertaining as a college
Speaker 3: Steve from Long Island rights in. He says, Joe Dog
Speaker 3: and e Dogg need to go to the dog pound.
Speaker 1: I'll let those get well.
Speaker 3: One of those guys doesn't call anymore, and then Steve says,
Speaker 3: did you see the story bandon Danny G?
Speaker 1: I think this sums up the modern dating scene.
Speaker 3: He says, there's a study out said nearly one third
Speaker 3: of gen Z's singles are going on dates just for
Speaker 3: free food. Of course, that would be the women who
Speaker 3: are going on dates. A one third going on dates
Speaker 3: for free food. A Girl's got to eat the headline
Speaker 3: on this story. I don't think this is new, Danny.
Speaker 3: I know when I was dating, I'm pretty sure that
Speaker 3: maybe half the women I dated didn't really give a
Speaker 3: crap about me, but did want a nice meal. So
Speaker 3: I don't think this is new. I think this is
Speaker 3: just something that's always kind of in there. You know,
Speaker 3: it's one of the advantages you have as a woman.
Speaker 3: You know, you're most likely I assume it's still going
Speaker 3: on today.
Speaker 1: The chivalry.
Speaker 3: You guys feel like they have to buy the food
Speaker 3: for the woman and all that.
Speaker 4: So and the opposite is almost worse though. Let me
Speaker 4: tell you a quick little story. When I was out
Speaker 4: there on the Tinderoni circuit, Okay, I took a date
Speaker 4: to Wood Ranch. As you know, they're oh they're barbecue sauce,
Speaker 4: especially their ribs, and there the bread. They have these
Speaker 4: rolls that are amazing. So she orders. I think she
Speaker 4: got like a chicken rib combo, yum me. She was
Speaker 4: barely touching. She was into our conversation. She was into me,
Speaker 4: but to the point where she just wanted to gab
Speaker 4: and talk and blab. She wasn't eating at least, you know,
Speaker 4: pack that up. Let's take that home. That's going to
Speaker 4: be a great reheated meal tomorrow. Sure. When the waiter
Speaker 4: came over and said, do you want a box for that,
Speaker 4: she said no, I'm good. Oh it's terrible as he
Speaker 4: took and I you know, and what's the move. No,
Speaker 4: I'll pack that up for me. I'll take that. Now,
Speaker 4: looking back, I should have said that.
Speaker 1: I would have done that.
Speaker 3: I'd be you know, on second, but I think my
Speaker 3: dog would like that or something like.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: But it caught it caught me off guard though, and
Speaker 4: by the time I wanted to say something, he was
Speaker 4: already off with her plate. Yeah, well I couldn't. I
Speaker 4: just couldn't get past it.
Speaker 2: Ben.
Speaker 4: It ruined the rest of the night for me. I
Speaker 4: couldn't get over it.
Speaker 1: That is a tough one.
Speaker 4: Well, I'd rather have a woman that was eating the food.
Speaker 1: Oh, I agree.
Speaker 4: I had.
Speaker 3: There were two types of win when I was dating
Speaker 3: that we dealt with. We had the one that would
Speaker 3: I felt like it was just using me for a
Speaker 3: free meal and had no interest in me at all.
Speaker 3: The other was the I called the bait and switch woman,
Speaker 3: the woman that when you're the.
Speaker 1: First couple of dates, she eats like a bird. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Danny.
Speaker 4: And then after a.
Speaker 3: Couple of dates, all of a sudden she's like, all right,
Speaker 3: I'm going for it now.
Speaker 1: So she gives you that. It's the fake opening that
Speaker 1: all I mean, just be who you are. You don't
Speaker 1: need a fake open.
Speaker 4: Yeah. You know, by the way, that tender date that
Speaker 4: was the second date where because the first date was
Speaker 4: just a drink. I wish I made the second date
Speaker 4: a drink again, out of place, because that's the go
Speaker 4: to move. Do a drink and if that goes well,
Speaker 4: then you can progress to dinner. Don't ever start with
Speaker 4: a dinner first. Don't ever do that.
Speaker 3: See look at that Tinderoni tips from Danny g We're
Speaker 3: returning Tinderoni tips. I'll do a couple more and get
Speaker 3: out of here. I got football to watch today. Stew
Speaker 3: from Duluth rights in. He says, Hey, Ben, loved hearing
Speaker 3: you on the Power Trip Morning show on Friday with
Speaker 3: the guys. Any chance you return here to Minnesota for
Speaker 3: a Mallard.
Speaker 4: Meet and greet.
Speaker 3: I would love to come back to Minnesota. Stew I
Speaker 3: was telling the guys how much I loved Lake Minnetonka
Speaker 3: and my trip to Minnesota when I was there a
Speaker 3: couple years ago, and they were pointing out that that
Speaker 3: was during the summer. To get the full Minnesota experience,
Speaker 3: I have to go in the winter, which I'm not
Speaker 3: sure I'm ready for. But I would love to come
Speaker 3: back ste and see your fine state again. So if
Speaker 3: anybody wants to put that together, that was thrown kind
Speaker 3: of together a lot through Regina, spin Cycle Regina and whatnot,
Speaker 3: but I would love to come back.
Speaker 1: And hang out.
Speaker 3: It was great, and I was amazed how many people
Speaker 3: were at that meet and greet that were fans of
Speaker 3: the Overnight show. They get up early, a lot of
Speaker 3: people working in factories in Minnesota whatever making pepsi. There
Speaker 3: were the guys that make pepsi in the bottling plant
Speaker 3: there that say they listened all night. So it was
Speaker 3: it was really cool Stu to be there. I had
Speaker 3: a great experience. It was good for my ego, which
Speaker 3: is great. I don't know if I need that from
Speaker 3: my ego. Kevin in Seattle Wright since says, hey band
Speaker 3: and Danny g how many of your callers are affected
Speaker 3: by this. Ben, an Ohio lawmaker, has proposed a ban
Speaker 3: on marrying AI systems. Okay, do we really need a.
Speaker 4: Ban on that? I don't.

Speaker 3: traditional cooking methods trying to get customers back.
Speaker 1: Tim wants to know will this work.

Speaker 1: That's a lot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's some expensive food to step in.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's that's well. As Clay likes to say, you
Speaker 1: go woke, you go broke.
