Speaker 1: Kabooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow, it's the clearinghouse
Speaker 2: of hot takes. Break free for something special. The Fifth
Speaker 2: Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me, Big
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny g Radio. A Happy Sunday, Sunday Sunday
Speaker 1: to you as we are back at it in the
Speaker 1: audio Dojo on this ninth day of the month of June,
Speaker 1: and welcome in to the mailbag. It is Donald Duck
Speaker 1: Day today, So happy Donald Duck Day. Always in important
Speaker 1: that was a big Donald Duck guy. As a kid,
Speaker 1: I liked when I remember going to Disneyland, and I
Speaker 1: liked the blue shirt that Donald wore in the blue hat.
Speaker 1: I think that's why I like Donald. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Also, do you remember going to Disneyland as a little kid,
Speaker 3: and they had that big room with all the different telephones,
Speaker 3: and each telephone was a different Disney character. I wasn't
Speaker 3: even in kindergarten yet. But I remember being on the
Speaker 3: Donald Duck phone and Donald Duck was on the other
Speaker 3: end of the line.
Speaker 1: Were you devastated when you found out that he wasn't
Speaker 1: actually on the other part of the line, where you're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is it. I just found that
Speaker 1: out right now, devastating. Dare you wait till you find
Speaker 1: out about Santa Claus. You'll really be devastated. Oh man,
Speaker 1: that'll blow you away. Mail alive. It is the mailbag,
Speaker 1: but I wanted to get before you kill the mailback.
Speaker 1: Let's do a little pop goes to the culture. You want
Speaker 1: to do a little pop goes the culture? Yes you do, Danny,
Speaker 1: you're shaking your head, Yes, you want to do a
Speaker 1: little pop goes to culture.
Speaker 4: I love when you speak for me, jun.
Speaker 1: John. Thank you very much, Ohio, I'll appreciate that. Very
Speaker 1: kind of you to send this in now. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure if this is a pop culture story or not,
Speaker 1: but I think it's appropriate. On this podcast, we have
Speaker 1: been following the inconvenience that Danny g has had involving
Speaker 1: a wildlife crossing that has interrupted the commutes from time
Speaker 1: to time. It's wow. They built an overpass just for animals.
Speaker 4: Yeah, two have been saved so far.
Speaker 1: At some point this overpass will become a homeless camp, right,
Speaker 1: it'll be an encampment for homeless people, But for now
Speaker 1: it's for animals and two animals of cross.
Speaker 3: There's an invisible wall in Woodland Hills, California. That's where
Speaker 3: the homelessness stops.
Speaker 1: Ah. Yeah, okay, the devil you're talking about. So they
Speaker 1: have these wildlife crossings and we understand that that is
Speaker 1: such a big hit, Danny, the one near you that
Speaker 1: now they are going to have more in southern Califoria.
Speaker 4: I knew you would love this story.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they're planning on building two other wildlife crossings
Speaker 1: that have been proposed for I fifteen north of San
Speaker 1: Diego County. Two more of these things, Danny two. Ben, congratulations,
Speaker 1: My god, we're gonna end up having more overpasses for
Speaker 1: animals than human beings. You know, Oh that's not true.
Speaker 1: You just hate animals. But no, I don't hate animals. Okay,
Speaker 1: I just think this is a little much. I think
Speaker 1: animals have been Okay, they can they can figure out
Speaker 1: a way.
Speaker 3: Ben save a Bobcat ride at Coyote.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's so for Gayzy. It's so Forgayzy.
Speaker 1: But it is continuing. You don't hear these type of
Speaker 1: stories very often in Alabama, South Carolina, Virginia. Am I wrong?
Speaker 1: Maybe you do? Maybe I just don't know.
Speaker 4: Why is Alabama on your mind?
Speaker 1: Did you see that?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 1: Wow? We very well will have to replace Lizzo on
Speaker 1: lame jokes of the week with the new Miss Alabama. Wowsers. Now, Danny,
Speaker 1: I like a woman that's got a little curvation to
Speaker 1: her appearance. Of course thickness, but yes, more cushion for
Speaker 1: the pushing. But I even I have limits, Danny, My god,
Speaker 1: what happened there in Alabama? Miss Alabama. She's a big star, Danny.
Speaker 1: Miss Alabama she is.
Speaker 4: She's huge in that state.
Speaker 1: Yes, she is a very very popular figure there, and
Speaker 1: she walks like a boss and you don't want to
Speaker 1: get in her way. Is she that photo? There's one
Speaker 1: photo from this that is next level. She's standing behind
Speaker 1: you know, she's standing next to the other women that
Speaker 1: did not beat her.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And the headline says, if you don't think Miss
Speaker 3: Alabama won this fair and square, you're a far right extremist.
Speaker 1: That's about that's about right. You're quite of course, that's
Speaker 1: how anything goes. You questioned anything, Well, you're just you're
Speaker 1: so you're so far out there you're a conspiracy theorist
Speaker 1: or something like that. Oh my, you should tweet this
Speaker 1: out and then tag Clay Travis.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: I'm sure Clay's probably written seven stories on OutKick about
Speaker 1: this already. Right now as we speak talk his eyeballs
Speaker 1: are popping out of his head. By now. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was that was quite the story. See that's changed. That's
Speaker 1: another thing, Danny, that's changed in my lifetime because when
Speaker 1: I was a kid, as a child, and I know
Speaker 1: at the playground you would have girls that were were
Speaker 1: large who would get picked on. They would not be
Speaker 1: handed bouquets of flowers and win beauty contest. So that's
Speaker 1: changed in my lifetime, Danny.
Speaker 4: It is empowering.
Speaker 1: I can't wait till we see a six hundred pound
Speaker 1: guy winning the Bachelor. You know, Bachelor. Is it the
Speaker 1: Bachelor or the Bachelorette? Which one is it? The one
Speaker 1: with the dudes? I don't know, the Bachelor, Bachelor, yeah, Bachelor, yeah,
Speaker 1: get it.
Speaker 4: And by the way, I.
Speaker 3: Can't sit here and talk shit as I'm holding a
Speaker 3: diet coke because, as you alluded to the other day
Speaker 3: on the podcast, fat people drink type coke meds.
Speaker 1: As a proud fat man, even though I've lost a
Speaker 1: lot of weight, I'm still large and in charge, and
Speaker 1: I still support the fat the fat community. But me
Speaker 1: as a fat man, even I know fat people should
Speaker 1: not be winning beauty contest. I know that. I realize
Speaker 1: that I'm aware of that. Yeah, you got a mental problems, man,
Speaker 1: man alive? What else do we have on pop goes
Speaker 1: the culture? How about this one out of China. A
Speaker 1: hiker in China was hiking near the tallest waterfall in China.
Speaker 1: So how is that a pop goes the culture story?
Speaker 1: Let me explain. So this guy's wan uering around there
Speaker 1: and he comes across something that blew his mind away.
Speaker 1: It turns out that the largest waterfall that has this
Speaker 1: beautiful water cascading down in China. Well, the hiker posted
Speaker 1: a video online it's probably been killed by now that
Speaker 1: showed the flow of water was coming from a pipe
Speaker 1: that they had put a pipe in to feed It's
Speaker 1: a fake waterfall?
Speaker 4: Is the urinal at Madonna in.
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, that's right. The operators of this say the
Speaker 1: tourism portion of this part of China say that they
Speaker 1: made the quote small enhancement during the dry season so
Speaker 1: visitors would feel that their trip had been worthwhile, is
Speaker 1: what they're saying. Wow, nothing is as it appears, Danny,
Speaker 1: nothing is as it appears. So wonder what did happen
Speaker 1: to that person that exposed the fraud? How dare you?
Speaker 1: How dare you? Well? This is exciting, Dandy technology. Big
Speaker 1: tech continues to influence our lives. The CEO of Zoom
Speaker 1: Zoom Zoom Zoom. They claim that in the future, and
Speaker 1: not that far into the future, you will have AI
Speaker 1: deep fakes who will attend meetings in your place, so
Speaker 1: you won't even have to attend a Zoom meeting. You
Speaker 1: can just turn on AI and you're good. Just turn
Speaker 1: on the AI. You're good to go. Yes, perfect, And
Speaker 1: eventually our radio shows will be done by AI and
Speaker 1: I will I will be dead and for two hundred
Speaker 1: years my radio show will be on. There'll be an
Speaker 1: AI voice that will just keepdcasting.
Speaker 3: Danny, I've done this in my career already. Speaking of
Speaker 3: Clay Travis back in the day, for you know, travel
Speaker 3: reasons he'd have to pre record some of his segments
Speaker 3: and to react to some breaking news. I would piece
Speaker 3: his voice together from old shows. I'm sure that'll solve it.
Speaker 1: Whatever, whatever it takes, whatever it takes, that's the yah. Fine.
Speaker 1: I was the first AI creator in broadcasting history. You
Speaker 1: were ahead of your time. Virtual Clay, who's there. I
Speaker 1: did love Clay's take. I gave him a tip of
Speaker 1: the headphones this week when he talked about his take
Speaker 1: on Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh man, that boy, he got it. Boy, he
Speaker 4: got a lot of shit over there.
Speaker 1: The reason Caitlin Clark is getting attacked is because of sexuality.
Speaker 1: Because the WNBA is seventy percent lesbian. It's just it's
Speaker 1: just a while.
Speaker 4: Did you read the comments holy shit style.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's what.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's for.
Speaker 1: But I said Clay actually was being conservative. It's actually
Speaker 1: a big seventy five percent, So I think he went
Speaker 1: low on that, but it was just funny.
Speaker 3: I would say some of that is changing a little
Speaker 3: bit because like that Cameron Brink girl, who we've talked about,
Speaker 3: some of the girls now are more like ig models.
Speaker 3: You know, they're posing for pictures. They have cake face,
Speaker 3: and they seem like they're attracting men. That's different than
Speaker 3: it used to be for the WNBA.
Speaker 1: It is odd, though, that it took the people that
Speaker 1: run the WNBA thirty years to figure out what sells
Speaker 1: the number one product that people love to look at
Speaker 1: and to spend money on. They just figured that out, Danny, Yeah,
Speaker 1: attractive women. They just now figured that out.
Speaker 3: Welcome to the year eighteen fifty one.
Speaker 1: I have noticed that the WNBA is spending more resources
Speaker 1: on feeding content to social media, which is not a
Speaker 1: bad move. It's not a bad move. Little Birdie tells
Speaker 1: me that they have a marketing strategy which includes really brilliantly.
Speaker 1: I was talking to a radio friend of mine this
Speaker 1: week about this. It's none of these idiots on radio
Speaker 1: me included or talking about WNBA games, because who cares
Speaker 1: about the games. It's the behind the scenes story, the drama,
Speaker 1: O rama. That's the stuff that people are interested in.
Speaker 1: It's not so much the outcome, because who the hell's
Speaker 1: watching these games? Maybe Caplin Clark girl fights. It's catfights,
Speaker 1: is what it is, and people love that they I
Speaker 1: said this on my show the other day, and I
Speaker 1: believe it because I was at the dispersal draft. When
Speaker 1: they started the WNBA, I was, as I said, I
Speaker 1: was not there by choice. I was assigned by the
Speaker 1: mighty sixth ninety to be there the station I worked
Speaker 1: for in San Diego. They said, we want you to
Speaker 1: cover this. Get some audio. So it was at the
Speaker 1: Forum in the place Jerry Buss used to bring his
Speaker 1: girlfriends in the Forum club say what? And they had
Speaker 1: a news conference and the person I forget who it
Speaker 1: was when the sparks got up there and said, we
Speaker 1: just want you to cover us like the men. Just
Speaker 1: give us a chance, just cover us like you cover
Speaker 1: the NBA, and we'll do the rest. And it took
Speaker 1: thirty years and now they're getting covered like the men,
Speaker 1: and they hate it. All their complaining it's not fair,
Speaker 1: you know it. It's sexist, and you know ism this
Speaker 1: and ism that, and it's just hilarious.
Speaker 3: Well we need them to start objectifying men and taking cocaine.
Speaker 1: Then, well, according to Clay, some of them do, but anyway,
Speaker 1: or maybe not many of them, I guess.
Speaker 3: Really quick, Can I tell you ninth grade, there was
Speaker 3: a girl fight that was epic on our high school campus,
Speaker 3: right by the lunch benches. Two girls holding each other's
Speaker 3: hair lying on the concrete. One of them, she tore
Speaker 3: her shirt a little bit and a breast this was
Speaker 3: sticking out like a boob popped out clevenger.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was one of the you know I had
Speaker 3: at that time, ninth grade. I hadn't seen a lot
Speaker 3: of breasts in my life yet, so.
Speaker 1: This was a very memorable experience.
Speaker 3: Oh not just for me. The school talked about this
Speaker 3: for two three weeks. It was the best fight of
Speaker 3: the year. This is exactly what people like about the
Speaker 3: w NBA. More girl fights.
Speaker 1: And the thing too about women fighting is they go
Speaker 1: much harder, much faster than guys. Right, they'll go immediately
Speaker 1: to hair pulling and biting, where guys. My experience with
Speaker 1: guys is they want to keep them machismo. So it's
Speaker 1: a lot of fists. It's not you don't want to bite,
Speaker 1: that's below you, you know, and you don't want to.
Speaker 1: Most guys don't have long enough hair to pull anyway.
Speaker 3: We don't want to see any torn clothes on men.
Speaker 3: But when the girls tear each other's clothes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't want to. You don't want to interfere,
Speaker 1: you know, let the ladies be ladies and do what
Speaker 1: they want to do. Let's get to the mail bag.
Speaker 1: It's all right, thank you very much, ohio al. These
Speaker 1: are actual letters sent in by actual listeners. You can
Speaker 1: fill up the mailbag Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com,
Speaker 1: Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com if you'd like
Speaker 1: to be part of the festivities. Mike writes in in
Speaker 1: Titan Nation, Fullerton. He says, Hi, Ben and Danny, g
Speaker 1: I'm starting to get impatient with these fat cat NBC
Speaker 1: executive I hope to hear they renewed Benny Versus the
Speaker 1: Penny for another season at double the pay soon. Doesn't
Speaker 1: it make sense for the show to keep going until
Speaker 1: the Penny beats you and Danny? If they wanted you
Speaker 1: for next season, not as Tom Looney's replacement, but as
Speaker 1: the voice of the cartoon penny, would you sign up
Speaker 1: for that? Sign Mike in Fullerton.
Speaker 4: Does the Penny have a voice? Well?
Speaker 1: We could add that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, because I've heard Looney say he's the voice
Speaker 3: of the Penny.
Speaker 1: So then he says a lot of things.
Speaker 4: He says a lot, wears a lot of things too.
Speaker 1: Does a lot of My favorite moment from the show,
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say my favorite. One of my top five
Speaker 1: moments was when we showed up to record the show
Speaker 1: at Universal Studios and we go through, you know, get
Speaker 1: the makeup on, which we had to do ourselves, get
Speaker 1: the makeup on. We sit in the chair and I
Speaker 1: look over to my left where Looney's sitting, and he's
Speaker 1: wearing a green shirt. And if you don't know what
Speaker 1: happens in television, you know this thing we.
Speaker 4: Call it floating heads.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we sit behind a green screen. They put graphics
Speaker 1: behind us, and Looney decided to wear a shirt that
Speaker 1: was mostly green for a TV show with a green screen.
Speaker 1: The guys, our producer, Vinnie and Boston. The guys are like,
Speaker 1: uh yeah, Tom, I don't know it's gonna work. I
Speaker 1: don't think we can.
Speaker 3: Dude, I would love to voice over the penny. I'd
Speaker 3: be like, fuck you, Ben, you mf for you piece.
Speaker 3: Let's turn the penny into the real star.
Speaker 1: All right, No word yet. I have had some meetings
Speaker 1: with the NBC people. I've had some conversations and things
Speaker 1: are positive. But that was also prior to them spending
Speaker 1: a couple billion on the NBA, so they might have
Speaker 1: spent all their money on the NBA and have no
Speaker 1: money left over for Benny versus the penny. Hopefully that
Speaker 1: is not the case. Alf from Coop's Recycle Bin right
Speaker 1: said from Coop's Recycle Bin, he says, are cupcakes just
Speaker 1: glorified muffins? Were the better publicist? And are they donuts?
Speaker 1: Says Alf the Alien Opiner.
Speaker 4: He's really on this donut thing lately now.
Speaker 1: Like a cupcake is an appetizer of a cake, to
Speaker 1: see how that works. Like the cinnamon roll is a cousin,
Speaker 1: first cousin of the donut, but it's in the donut family.
Speaker 4: Still incest.
Speaker 1: Well, you can call it what you want. It's delicious,
Speaker 1: it's wonderful. And I was supposed to make cinnamon rolls
Speaker 1: last weekend and I got lazy and I didn't do it.
Speaker 1: I made I made some sugar cookies instead, but gonna
Speaker 1: I was gonna make a nice set of cinnamon rolls,
Speaker 1: and I just I didn't have time. And this weekend
Speaker 1: I didn't do it either, because I'm a bad person
Speaker 1: and all that. But cupcakes, big cupcake guy, the key
Speaker 1: to the cupcake frosting, the key to a cupcake frosting.
Speaker 3: That's really the only good part the top of the
Speaker 3: cupcake and the frosting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what if we made cupcakes that were very small
Speaker 1: but had a large top for the frosting. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like little mushroom cupcakes, like a Seinfeld episode.
Speaker 1: My idea, You want a muffin or not? Peach, make
Speaker 1: a fortune, make an app killing Right next up on
Speaker 1: the mail bag, Scott writes in third Rail about my
Speaker 1: third rail, All right now, he sent me this email
Speaker 1: to the regular email address. I told him we would
Speaker 1: address this on the podcast, and this goes to a
Speaker 1: very deep dark place, Danny, But I want to address it.
Speaker 1: I want to address it. We're not going to run
Speaker 1: away from it, Scott writes, and he says, I have
Speaker 1: been listening to your show since Danny g was still
Speaker 1: part of the weeknight show. I know I'm not the
Speaker 1: longest listener, but I was loyal, he says, was loyal Danny.
Speaker 1: Now I have seen the trend take hold of the
Speaker 1: show as it is done throughout sports and the world.
Speaker 1: Scott says. The show's producer is now a woman sexist
Speaker 1: who knows absolutely nothing about sports. He says, refuses to
Speaker 1: learn about the show or be a part of it.
Speaker 4: Wait, there's a second, I'm out of here.
Speaker 1: He says. There's no more drops, no more malor music,
Speaker 1: no keeping the memories alive. Scott says the callers are atrocious. Well,
Speaker 1: they've actually always been atrocious and are given way too
Speaker 1: much airtime. They've also always been given way too much.
Speaker 4: Of Some of the callers were great when I was.
Speaker 1: There, to the point of not doing the game shows.
Speaker 1: He's upset by that. I don't know, but I'm guessing
Speaker 1: people would rather hear Malard's Mountain of Money or Sports
Speaker 1: Jeopardy over what Marcel had for dinner. Yes, after finding
Speaker 1: a way through all that, you broke the camel's back
Speaker 1: with a w NBA monologue. Scott says, wasn't bad enough that, Eddie,
Speaker 1: And then he says, no, very little about hockey, was
Speaker 1: giving WNBA scores over legit sporting events scores. But now
Speaker 1: you have fallen into the wokness. Scott says, I know
Speaker 1: my opinion matters little and this will be brushed aside,
Speaker 1: but I I wanted to let you know that as
Speaker 1: a member not officially sworn in of the Malad Militia,
Speaker 1: I am hurting and I'm guessing I'm not the only one.
Speaker 1: Please stop forcing the woke down our throat. Spend Thank
Speaker 1: you for your time that has signed Scott. There's a
Speaker 1: lot here. There's a lot to unpack on this one.
Speaker 1: Danny first, he nailed it. Let's just say that you
Speaker 1: got the essence of the show. It is true. I
Speaker 1: love Lorena. She's a wonderful addition to the show. I
Speaker 1: disagree with your points. She doesn't know anything about sports.
Speaker 1: She's open about that, and I'm fine with that. Her
Speaker 1: job is not to know about sports. Her job is
Speaker 1: to make sure we don't lose the license. Her job
Speaker 1: is to hit the buttons and all that.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: She just started here, and I would like to think
Speaker 1: that she'll put the effort in. She doesn't really know
Speaker 1: the history of the show. She never listened to the show.
Speaker 1: She's had no idea what we do here because she's
Speaker 1: not a sports fan or whatever, and so she's learning
Speaker 1: as she goes here.
Speaker 4: So do you listen to Fox Sports Radio? Nope, I've
Speaker 4: never heard it. You're hired on staff immediately.
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen. That's not my decision, but whatever.
Speaker 3: And you know, I've been open and honest about her
Speaker 3: from the start. I told the mallor militia. She's open
Speaker 3: to learn and that right there, Ben, that's priceless, right
Speaker 3: because most people come in here with their head filled
Speaker 3: with thoughts of that they're the shit and they don't
Speaker 3: need any training.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Like there's this weird situation with their drops.
Speaker 1: I've had many engineers on the show and other places
Speaker 1: I've worked, and some have been great. Some have played
Speaker 1: way too many drops. Others have played not enough. Oh,
Speaker 1: if Roberto hit that ding one more time, I was
Speaker 1: going to ding him in the head.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've had people email me that stopped listening because Roberto
Speaker 1: kept hitting the bell. They got upset about that. Now
Speaker 1: people are upset they don't hear the bell. You can't win,
Speaker 1: all right, you can't win more cow bell. Yeah. Like
Speaker 1: I would like to think that Lorena would kind of
Speaker 1: get that. We like certain drops that I love mixing
Speaker 1: in caller drops and making that a part of the show,
Speaker 1: and just little things, not too much, not too much,
Speaker 1: but you know, just show me you're paying attention. You know.
Speaker 1: I feel like sometimes if you don't do that, you're
Speaker 1: just watching TV in the other room, and you got
Speaker 1: me the sound down on me, and you've got the
Speaker 1: TV on and that's it, which has happened. By the way,
Speaker 1: I've had board ops that were running my board watching television,
Speaker 1: not paying attention to the show, and I know that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, to not here just just absolutely wonderful.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I would like to think she'll play some more
Speaker 1: of the stuff. I've encouraged her to play more Malord songs.
Speaker 1: She has not decided to do that yet. Unfortunately. Uh,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe it's just me. I've I've encouraged Eddie not
Speaker 1: to give two week old hockey scores. He still does,
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I mean, maybe I just have
Speaker 1: to change my approach everyone.
Speaker 3: I'm so start asking him to not give w NBA
Speaker 3: scores cause I have. Yeah, we because we made that
Speaker 3: point earlier on this podcast. Who gives a shit about this?
Speaker 3: We want to hear about the drama.
Speaker 1: He claimed he was told by management that he has to.
Speaker 4: Give the score that's blowney.
Speaker 1: He claimed that that is a mandate from above.
Speaker 3: I'm sure that they would like Caitlin Clark news and
Speaker 3: Angel Reese news and stuff like that, but the scores.
Speaker 1: Really, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Fox doesn't have the contract with the WNBA exactly, I.
Speaker 1: Don't get it, but yet Eddie, he does it all
Speaker 1: the time, and he doesn't give out the thing that
Speaker 1: drives people nuts, and I get it. He won't give
Speaker 1: out all the baseball scores, but he'll give out every WNBA.
Speaker 1: Sho Oh, did you follow up on your homework for
Speaker 1: the Royal? I did, yes, And he's starting to give
Speaker 1: the Royal score. Thank god, he is starting to give
Speaker 1: the Royal score.
Speaker 4: He is all right.
Speaker 1: Next, Thank you, Scott. I'm sorry that I've upset you,
Speaker 1: but I promise you that that one WNBA monologue that
Speaker 1: I did, which wasn't even a full monologue, was not
Speaker 1: because I've gone woke. I just was mocking the WNBA,
Speaker 1: and I think I'm allowed to do that. And Scott,
Speaker 1: this is heartfelt. Give Ben another two weeks. It could
Speaker 1: only get worse. Yeah, yeah, wait till I do a
Speaker 1: deep dive on volleyball. I'll be doing a volleyball monologue
Speaker 1: coming up in a little bit. Next up is Kwang
Speaker 1: in Vietnam. He says, I love hearing about your excursions
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny and Ben, I liked hearing about your
Speaker 1: trips to Minnesota and South Carolina, et cetera, especially getting
Speaker 1: recognized at the rental car dealership. I believe I heard
Speaker 1: you say you're currently in a rental now as well. Yes,
Speaker 1: got into a wreck, as we talked about on the
Speaker 1: Saturday podcast, and so I'm driving a rental right now
Speaker 1: with South Dakota plates. And Quainn says it got me
Speaker 1: to thinking, did you know that the arrow next to
Speaker 1: the gas plump icon on the dashboard in case which
Speaker 1: side the gas tank is located?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Did you?
Speaker 1: I have some people still don't know about it.
Speaker 4: A bunch of losers.
Speaker 1: Little hack. If you get into a car, a rental car,
Speaker 1: get that little er arrow there, little arrow that tells
Speaker 1: you which way you need to go. Of course, there's
Speaker 1: most gas stations like Costco, it doesn't really matter when
Speaker 1: you pull up to a pump because the cord will
Speaker 1: go around the car. The gas pump will reach wherever
Speaker 1: we are, so it doesn't matter. But in some stations
Speaker 1: they don't have that, so you better off.
Speaker 4: I'll say that I never knew what that aerro meant.
Speaker 4: What do you think it means?
Speaker 1: The car leans more to the right or the left.
Speaker 1: It's on the right wing of the left poing of
Speaker 1: the political spectrum. Ozzi Waz writes in from That's and
Speaker 1: Harsh Western Australia, It says big Man and Danny g
Speaker 1: a little fun fact to start. Australia has the world's
Speaker 1: longest golf course, and he says, mentions, he mentions it
Speaker 1: measures thirteen hundred and fifty kilometers. He says, I've done
Speaker 1: the male math. That's eight hundred and forty five miles
Speaker 1: long across two states from Western Australia to South Australia.
Speaker 1: And yes, it's only eighteen holes. That can't be right.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred and forty five miles long.
Speaker 3: There's no way those numbers were given by the same
Speaker 3: executives that did the breadsticks for olive garden.
Speaker 1: I says, two states from Western Australia to South Australia.
Speaker 1: My question is how old were you when you got
Speaker 1: blind drunk for the first time. Well, I actually I
Speaker 1: got drunk in my early twenties for the first time.
Speaker 1: The trunkist I've ever gotten was while doing radio. Actually,
Speaker 1: we got preempted. I've told this story over the years
Speaker 1: a few times, but we got preempted for women's hockey
Speaker 1: at the Olympics in like ninety eight or something. Like that.
Speaker 4: So you're woke way back then.
Speaker 1: Well, we were. So it was like a trial sport
Speaker 1: at the Olympics or something, as I remember it might
Speaker 1: not I think it was ninety eight, but it was
Speaker 1: somewhere in the nineties. They were trying out women's hockey,
Speaker 1: and my boss at the radio station decided to carry
Speaker 1: the network feed.
Speaker 4: Oh smart, great, great on the radio.
Speaker 1: Women's hockey really on the pulse of what the listener
Speaker 1: to radio wants to hear in Los Angeles. So he said, listen,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure when the games get in. I'm almost
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent sure you won't be on the air,
Speaker 1: but I just need you to stay in the area
Speaker 1: just in case. So me and the guys I was
Speaker 1: doing the show with, we all went across the street
Speaker 1: to adults and got hammered.
Speaker 3: That place was famous and he should have used the
Speaker 3: word stay in the area, sober.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he didn't say that. So we went across and
Speaker 1: just got hammered. And I'm not a big drinker. I
Speaker 1: wasn't in I'm not now, and we just went for it.
Speaker 1: We were like, god, man, we're doing a night show
Speaker 1: in LA. We're getting pre empted by women's hockey. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is this is a new luw Right. We're contemplating everything,
Speaker 1: like we got to find new careers and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: After drinking for several hours, we get a text or
Speaker 1: actually no, it was a call. We don't in those days,
Speaker 1: we don't have text message. He was a call we
Speaker 1: need you guys to come back. We think you're gonna
Speaker 1: be on the air for like twenty minutes.
Speaker 4: Twenty minutes, your beeper went off, so.
Speaker 1: We staggered across the street, use the dump button quite
Speaker 1: a bit. But that was the drunkestuf'f in. But I
Speaker 1: asked in my early twenties, what about you, Danny? Same
Speaker 1: for me early twenties. It was at a radio station
Speaker 1: club night, and normally I didn't drink at those things
Speaker 1: because I was busy m seeing and helping to run
Speaker 1: the door. The whole operation was my responsibility kept a
Speaker 1: clear head because money was involved. But as you know,
Speaker 1: account executives and the biz we call them aes aes,
Speaker 1: and some sponsors get greedy. Sometimes the Saturday night was
Speaker 1: going so well, they said, hey, let's add a Sunday
Speaker 1: night club night. And I'm thinking it's gonna go out
Speaker 1: on a Sunday night, R and B night like a
Speaker 1: chill Sunday night. You know you can't argue with them.
Speaker 1: They book you to come out. I'm thinking in my mind,
Speaker 1: no one's going to be there.
Speaker 4: Get there.
Speaker 3: It was like me and ten hardcore listeners. Yeah, crickets
Speaker 3: on the microphone. I said, well, let's sit around the
Speaker 3: bar and drink and have a good time. Boy did
Speaker 3: we drink and have a good time. And here's the
Speaker 3: worst part. I drove the station vehicle back to the
Speaker 3: radio station. Oh yeah, I should not have done that.
Speaker 3: That was a mistake I think about sometimes. Thank god.
Speaker 3: The radio station was just down the street from this bar.
Speaker 3: I get to the radio station and I vomit all
Speaker 3: up in the staff bathroom.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, my insides are on from it. But
Speaker 1: you made it to the toilet. You didn't bar fall over?
Speaker 4: No, thank god, I made it to the toilet.
Speaker 1: Turn the car off. I think you're good on that.
Speaker 1: The Statute of limitations as well, Thank you, Ozzie Wiz.
Speaker 1: I love that. What a character. Yeah, bloody rue. I
Speaker 1: learned that this week. Danny bloody roo, which is their
Speaker 1: way of calling someone stupid bloody roo, kangaroo bloody rudy,
Speaker 1: buddy Rue.
Speaker 3: I gonna say sometimes as a kid, you need to
Speaker 3: make a mistake like that to learn, oh shit, I
Speaker 3: should never get behind a wheel like that. I'm never
Speaker 3: gonna do it again. And that's the only time in
Speaker 3: my life that I dan and drove.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm the opposite where like I don't. I've
Speaker 1: never done it because I have this voice in my
Speaker 1: head of my mother Benjamin like, I have one drink.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I was like five hundred pounds almost at
Speaker 1: one point I would have a drink. I think, okay,
Speaker 1: that's one drink. I'm gonna be drunk. I can't drive.
Speaker 1: I gotta wait three hours. And I'm like, well, and
Speaker 1: then I looked on the internet and he said, well, no,
Speaker 1: at that weight, I could have had like fifteen drinks
Speaker 1: and I probably would have been fine. You know. It's
Speaker 1: like one of those one of those deals. Next up
Speaker 1: on the mail bag. But before we move on, Ozzie
Speaker 1: w Wash any of our listeners. We have a bunch
Speaker 1: of people in Australia that listen to the radio show
Speaker 1: because it's actually not on at night there because it's
Speaker 1: the time difference, and also this podcast so if you
Speaker 1: want to send me some other slang phoe drizzle. What
Speaker 1: I really need is Australian slang that is American radio

Speaker 1: So I need ways to say the F word, the
Speaker 1: S word. If you have Australian versions of that, like

Speaker 1: bloody roo I love it, So let us know. Email
Speaker 1: me Real Fifth hourgmail dot com. Superfan Angelina writes in
Speaker 1: she also sent us the word that we used or
Speaker 1: the phrase that we used yesterday. She says, I've been
Speaker 1: and Danny, it's been a while since I have written.
Speaker 1: Always always listening, enjoying the podcast and the daily show.
Speaker 1: She wanted to let us know big news here that
Speaker 1: there's a brand new tractor supply store that just recently opened.
Speaker 1: And this is how big a fan of this show
Speaker 1: Angelina is. She said she went there on a recon
Speaker 1: in western Wisconsin, kind of near the Minnesota border there,
Speaker 1: and she says she's boots on the ground reporting back.
Speaker 1: Angelina that she did not see any cocks in front
Speaker 1: of the store, so there are no at detractor supply
Speaker 1: store in beautiful western Wisconsin.
Speaker 4: You love metal cocks.
Speaker 1: I was attracted to the giant metal cock. Well, that
Speaker 1: was I was impressed by the size. I was impressed
Speaker 1: by I'm not gonna lie, Danny, that was a big cock.
Speaker 1: I was impressed. That's a drop. Well, good news is
Speaker 1: we talked earlier. Our friend Lorena drops anymore.
Speaker 4: She does.
Speaker 3: In fact, I have about three hundred drops out of context, and.
Speaker 1: I was impressed by the size. But I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: lie Danny. That was a big cock. I want to
Speaker 1: go back to that guy what's his name, Scott, who
Speaker 1: now hates everything about the show and thinks I've gone woke.
Speaker 1: There is some freedom, There is a bit of freedom,
Speaker 1: and knowing that Lorena does not put drops in that
Speaker 1: I can pretty much see anything I want. Right now,
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk be It will not be saved
Speaker 1: because you you Jack asked Danny and uh and Jake
Speaker 1: before you and Roberto anything I said anything out of context,
Speaker 1: you assholes, because we context because we all knew what
Speaker 1: you did in Lax parking lots. He blew me off
Speaker 1: at a hotel near l a X. Your Dix and Dayton,
Speaker 1: that's what you are? You said your dicks? Anyway? Who
Speaker 1: else do I have? Have? Fred in Florida writes, and
Speaker 1: he says, Ben and Danny, I heard your story from
Speaker 1: the Intersection take Over this past week. Oh the one
Speaker 1: we did last week about the Intersection street takeover very dramatic.
Speaker 1: Which one of you would be better? I think? Didn't
Speaker 1: we have that question last week?
Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Remember we agreed that neither of us would do it
Speaker 3: around people. But I did do donuts in an empty
Speaker 3: parking lot.
Speaker 1: All I have a stack of emails. I guess I
Speaker 1: put that one back in the stack. Bat job by Meed.
Speaker 1: Who else do we let's see page do? JJ and
Speaker 1: Toledo right? Since, Hey guys, Ben, why did you get
Speaker 1: so upset this week at Eddie for giving hockey scores
Speaker 1: during Puck the World? I enjoy his segment. Thanks, thanks
Speaker 1: for the show well, JJ in Toledo. The reason I
Speaker 1: got upset is because what we do is broadcasting, not
Speaker 1: narrow casting, as we like to say, Danny. And the
Speaker 1: one advantage we have in live terrestrial radio is talking
Speaker 1: about what's going on right now and what's about to happen.
Speaker 1: And I love Eddie, and I've worked with Eddie for
Speaker 1: many years, but I do not believe and you cannot
Speaker 1: convince me that it is in the best interest of
Speaker 1: the show to give hockey scores that are ten days old.
Speaker 1: It's just not it's not in the age of the Internet.
Speaker 1: Maybe back when I started in radio, when the Internet
Speaker 1: wasn't really big a big thing and it was just
Speaker 1: kind of in.
Speaker 3: The wait, why would you even do that Back in
Speaker 3: the day though, before this real time stuff we're used
Speaker 3: to now, I didn't want to hear ten day old scores.
Speaker 1: No, I agree, So I did get a little too
Speaker 1: upset at Eddie, and then Eddie said, well, I was
Speaker 1: setting the scene, like we really don't need to do
Speaker 1: that to set the scene. But it's just a disagreement,
Speaker 1: an editorial disagreement. My belief is that you talk about
Speaker 1: what's coming up and what's happening in the moment, but
Speaker 1: you don't talk about stuff that's old because people turn
Speaker 1: the dial, they turn on another channel on iHeart the
Speaker 1: iHeart app or they turned the old radio dial, or
Speaker 1: they stopped listening, or they fast forward the podcast. So
Speaker 1: that's just my take. Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe I'm wrong
Speaker 1: on that. I always try to stay in the moment
Speaker 1: that the things we talk about are relevant to that
Speaker 1: news cycle, or there are things that are still at
Speaker 1: the very tip of the tongue and like old score.
Speaker 1: So yeah again, but thank you JJ for your concern.
Speaker 1: I think Eddie's okay. Every time I tell Eddie anything,
Speaker 1: he thinks I'm just being sarcastic anyway, so it doesn't
Speaker 1: really matter. I can say anything there, just being sarcastic. Yea.
Speaker 3: By the way, it's only a few days old, but
Speaker 3: the Celtics beat the Mavericks in Game one of the
Speaker 3: NBA Finals. Just wanted to report that. Are you sure
Speaker 3: about that, Danny?
Speaker 1: Are you positive?
Speaker 3: Positive? I just want to report that for everybody. And
Speaker 3: Game two is later today five pm on the West Coast.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because they needed all that time off. You know,
Speaker 1: God forbid you play. I have one one day off
Speaker 1: and then play. Can't I can't do that anyway, Nick
Speaker 1: and Reggie and all you other guys. Reggie had a
Speaker 1: question about Rob Parker's station. What do you want us
Speaker 1: to stay Rob? I'm happy for Rob.
Speaker 3: Oh Ben, there's an open slot for you at that
Speaker 3: all black radio station. They're doing a feature called white
Speaker 3: Boy Wednesday, and I feel like you'd be the greatest,
Speaker 3: greatest guest for that. Also, for our Jewish friends, there
Speaker 3: is a Jewfro Friday.
Speaker 1: Is that right?
Speaker 4: Yeah, so white Boy Wednesday and Juwfro Friday.
Speaker 1: I thought it was Hebrew Tuesday. I didn't know it.
Speaker 1: I had no idea about that. Mexican Monday. Do they
Speaker 1: have that?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: Oh, I love the Mexican people. We kid because we care,
Speaker 1: of course, But thank you, Reggie, and Rob said.
Speaker 3: When I asked Rob about white Boy Wednesdays. By the way,
Speaker 3: he said, there's like a hundred all white boy radio stations.
Speaker 1: Racist. Uh oh yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I have a wonderful rest of Sunday. I'll be
Speaker 1: back tonight talk more about the NBA Finals. I would
Speaker 1: assume eleven pm in the West.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Game two.
Speaker 1: You think the MAVs are going to come back tonight? Well,
Speaker 1: game two is the pivot point, right. Game two is
Speaker 1: the pivot point because if you don't win game two,
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you have to win game three.
Speaker 1: So yeah, this is a big spot. The game will
Speaker 1: be close. How about that much closer than what we
Speaker 1: saw where Dallas came out or just came out not
Speaker 1: flat in the first like three minutes, but then once
Speaker 1: the Celtics went full brottle that.
Speaker 3: They gave up in the second quarter. They did come
Speaker 3: back in the third quarter. I think they were down
Speaker 3: by what eight before Boston continued to stomp on them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was really the end of the first quarter
Speaker 1: in the game on back on Friday night. Anyway, have
Speaker 1: a wonderful, wonderful rest of your Sunday. Thank you. Remember
Speaker 1: send us questions for next week's mail bag. We're here
Speaker 1: every weekend. We've got the radio show. I've got the
Speaker 1: overnight show. During the week, Danny's got you covered. You're
Speaker 1: with Colvino and Rich all week. Is that correct?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Monday, we'll have a good afternoon show from two
Speaker 3: to four pm on the West Side and that's five
Speaker 3: to seven pm. And beautiful Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA.
Speaker 1: All right, having a great day. We'll talk to you
