Speaker 1: on Friday mornings. We do it. But you never know.
Speaker 1: And before we get to the actual mail bag, I
Speaker 1: did want to mention the last quarter. I guess they
Speaker 1: grade this by quarters, right, Danny? The podcast Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, correct, Yeah, radio is in four quarters.
Speaker 1: So we had the highest podcast numbers we've had in
Speaker 1: a year or two or something like that.
Speaker 3: And let's see, our boss said since twenty twenty one.
Speaker 3: And the only reason he said since twenty one is
Speaker 3: he couldn't go back further than that with the data
Speaker 3: that he had, so he said, at least the highest
Speaker 3: numbers in three years.
Speaker 1: Take that for data. All right, that's awesome. Thank you.
Speaker 1: You know, it's because you, Danny. You're getting people to
Speaker 1: get other people listen, and then they're actually listening, and
Speaker 1: we're doubling our audience, which is amazing. So God bless
Speaker 1: you and thank you. Otherwise we'd stopped doing this podcast, right,
Speaker 1: Danny Iven it's our weekends, man, what are we doing here?
Speaker 3: So I listened to a couple of other podcasts and
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna name drop because I'm about to shit
Speaker 3: talk a little bit. Godly man, Who the hell is
Speaker 3: producing some of these podcasts? One guy sounded like he
Speaker 3: was in a tin can, and then the guests they
Speaker 3: brought on you could barely hear him the volume was
Speaker 3: so low. They don't mix minus, they don't do anything
Speaker 3: in post reduction. They think they can just leave it
Speaker 3: completely raw.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I'm right there with you. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: one of the things about it's like the Old West
Speaker 1: with podcasts, right, and people just throw anything out there,
Speaker 1: and we're we're radio snobs, though, Danny, we actually believe
Speaker 1: in professionalism and trying to make it sound as good
Speaker 1: as possible.
Speaker 3: And what a waste of time if people don't really
Speaker 3: care about what I do. It both production, but I'm
Speaker 3: telling you, at least one of the two that I
Speaker 3: listened to was from a major broadcasting group who me
Speaker 3: hit the record button and then ship it out after
Speaker 3: they're done. I don't know. It was pretty amazing to me.
Speaker 3: But hey, I'm happy that so many people are enjoying
Speaker 3: this podcast because you and I both put a lot
Speaker 3: of hustle.
Speaker 1: Take a weekend off, you don't need to do the podcast.
Speaker 1: Come on, you can go out, you don't have to
Speaker 1: bother doing the podcast, and then we end up futzing
Speaker 1: around doing the podcast, which is you know, normally, normally
Speaker 1: how it goes. First email again Real Fifth Hour at
Speaker 1: gmail dot com on a Saturday. But thank you for listening.
Speaker 1: You guys have been great and God bless you. Louis
Speaker 1: from Delaware Rights and he says, Ben and Danny, I
Speaker 1: have to ask you a question.
Speaker 3: Ben.
Speaker 1: I listened to your overnight show most of the week,
Speaker 1: and every time I've heard your show I hear alf
Speaker 1: ferg Dog and Masshole Mickey. I think he is mentioned
Speaker 1: on your show.
Speaker 3: Never heard of him?
Speaker 1: Uh? He says, are these people real? Are they made
Speaker 1: up characters in your head? Are they your imaginary friends?
Speaker 1: I've gotta know? And then he Louie's like, how do
Speaker 1: these guys have that time to listen and write in
Speaker 1: or whatever? Uh? Well, Louis, I have not met Alf.
Speaker 1: I have not met Ferg Dog, so maybe they are
Speaker 1: imaginary characters in my head. I almost met Alf the
Speaker 1: alien ol Pliner, but there was a big storm and
Speaker 1: it was night and I didn't get to meet him.
Speaker 1: But I did meet Masshole Mickey, so I can't confirm
Speaker 1: he is a real, living, breathing human being. I have
Speaker 1: not at fer Dog. As far as I know, Ferg
Speaker 1: Dog is roommates with Brian Finley, unless he just imagined that.
Speaker 1: I believe he's real. I am honored that these guys
Speaker 1: are able to listen to everything I do, Louis, I
Speaker 1: don't know how they're able to do it. I know
Speaker 1: Alf has kids, I know he's married. I know he's
Speaker 1: got a family. He's got a I think a day job.
Speaker 1: I have no idea how he's able to pull that off.
Speaker 1: I know Masshole Mickey's working all the time, and he's
Speaker 1: hustling around and he's got kids and a wife and
Speaker 1: all that. And I don't know what the hell's Ferg
Speaker 1: Dog's up to, but I am very lucky these guys listen.
Speaker 1: They're like the core p ones of the show. Them
Speaker 1: and a couple other guys who are fans of the show.
Speaker 1: So it is odd that Danny, I mean, these guys
Speaker 1: are able to always figure out what we got going
Speaker 1: on and what I got going on, and it's they
Speaker 1: listen to this podcast. They usually write questions in on
Speaker 1: the mailbag, so it's it's cool, it's flattering. I'm honored
Speaker 1: that they like the crap that we put out so much.
Speaker 1: They listen all the time. It's awesome, So I thank them.
Speaker 1: But I don't know to answer your question, Louis, I
Speaker 1: don't know if Alice reel or for Dog. I do
Speaker 1: know Masshole Mickey's reel because I met him. So that's that.
Speaker 1: Ryan writes and Ryan Sea writes and says, hello, gentlemen.
Speaker 1: Last time I emailed into the show, I just proposed
Speaker 1: to my girlfriend and now we are less than a
Speaker 1: year until we get married. How about that? I look
Speaker 1: at that osotop October tenth, twenty twenty five. Our honeymoon
Speaker 1: starts in Disney World in Orlando for four days. Then
Speaker 1: we go to Disney on a Disney cruise for a week.
Speaker 1: We visit Saint Thomas and some other place I don't
Speaker 1: even know how to pronounce in the Caribbean. Disney. Oh,
Speaker 1: Disney's private island in the Bahamas.
Speaker 3: Oh, I've heard about that place.
Speaker 1: Since you both are married men, I'm interested to see
Speaker 1: where you you dudes went for your honeymoon. That's from right.
Speaker 1: I think we went to the same place I got
Speaker 1: married Ryan in Kawaii, in Hawaii, and the way we
Speaker 1: set it up because I am an introvert and I
Speaker 1: don't like people, we just got we kind of looked.
Speaker 1: We went on the beach, a deserted beach in Kawaii,
Speaker 1: just beautiful, the most beautiful beach we could possibly imagine,
Speaker 1: completely deserted, no one within a mile either direction, and
Speaker 1: it was us and the person who was officiating the wedding,
Speaker 1: and a camera person to document the wedding, and that
Speaker 1: was it. And then we signed some papers at a
Speaker 1: office in Hawaii, some legal papers, and then we just
Speaker 1: immediately started our honeymoon. So we were right there in
Speaker 1: Kawaii and went to the Nepali coast and had an
Speaker 1: amazing time and it was it was really cool. And
Speaker 1: I think, Danny, you had something similar to that, Am
Speaker 1: I am? I correct? Am I imagining that in my head?
Speaker 1: I feel like we talked about that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, you're right, except we were in Maui. We
Speaker 3: got married on a beach that was right near the
Speaker 3: Four Seasons there was it was supposed to rain. They
Speaker 3: tried to convince us to change our wedding to the
Speaker 3: morning before the day it was scheduled, and we said no,
Speaker 3: and we wound up making a good call. Perfect weather
Speaker 3: and that we had family there, family and some friends.
Speaker 3: And right after the wedding we did the road to Hanna,
Speaker 3: which was fun. We did the Black Sand Beach there,
Speaker 3: really cool experience. And then I think I told the
Speaker 3: story about my brother in law and how he ruined
Speaker 3: the wedding. Not ruined, but he was the entertainment for
Speaker 3: the wedding dinner. You drink just a little.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the family, right, Welcome to the family.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 3: And by the way, this probably won't shock you, but
Speaker 3: he was handing out shots to people on the beach
Speaker 3: right after we got married.
Speaker 1: Random strangers, just random randoms. Yeah, all right, well, good
Speaker 1: luck Ryan, congratulations and you're gonna have a great time.
Speaker 1: And I've never been to the Bahamas. I've I've heard
Speaker 1: amazing things about it, and I think you're just gonna
Speaker 1: have memories and all that. So enjoy the hell out
Speaker 1: of it, you and your your ride to be. Doug
Speaker 1: writes in from Pennsylvania. He says, Swing state, Here we go, Danny.
Speaker 1: He says, Ben and Danny. I know this is not
Speaker 1: a political podcast. You know what that means, Danny. Is
Speaker 1: the elections a couple of days away. I want to
Speaker 1: know who you're voting for. Do you think it's going
Speaker 1: to be close? And will we have more rioting Doug?
Speaker 1: I think you know, if you listen to this podcast,
Speaker 1: you probably know who I'm voting for. So I don't
Speaker 1: know that we need to go into that right now.
Speaker 1: Do I think it's going to be close? Yes? I
Speaker 1: do think it'll be close, because why not everything seemed
Speaker 1: how many elections have been close? The last three elections
Speaker 1: have been really close? Right? Am I right on that?
Speaker 1: I think? I mean, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 3: No, you're not wrong, So why would this be any different?
Speaker 1: Right, If it's the country's split down party lines, I
Speaker 1: would think it's going to be close. And as I say,
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I don't I don't really care who
Speaker 1: you vote for. I can disagree and think you're an
Speaker 1: idiot for voting for who you vote for, and you
Speaker 1: can think I'm an idiot, but it doesn't really matter
Speaker 1: because we're not actually the ones that are making the
Speaker 1: decisions here. As far as the writing and all that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't anticipate. I do not anticipate that
Speaker 1: it'll be a peaceful situation. But yeah, hopefully, hopefully it'll
Speaker 1: be fine. I mean, if Dodgers winning a championship Danny
Speaker 1: led to people burning down a bus, the stakes are
Speaker 1: a little higher in a presidential election. And the other
Speaker 1: thing too, Nanny is and you know this listening, Doug.
Speaker 1: I mean, there are people that don't even give a
Speaker 1: rats ass about politics, who just are looking for an
Speaker 1: opportunity to cause trouble, right, and so opportunists.
Speaker 3: The same thing goes for teams winning championships. You're telling
Speaker 3: me all those people out there burning things are fans
Speaker 3: of baseball. Give me a break.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, exactly, So good luck. Hopefully it's everyone safe
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a wild ride for a couple
Speaker 1: of days, right, just an absolute wild ride, and so
Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see how it turns out. Kevin in Phoenix, Right,
Speaker 1: since has ben, Since this is the p one podcast,
Speaker 1: as you guys like to call it, what is the
Speaker 1: inside story on why Loraina was late to the show?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I don't. I don't know. I mean
Speaker 1: she said, I guess she overslept and that I guess
Speaker 1: that was the I don't know. She she was a
Speaker 1: little late one night this week. We were worried, though, Kevin,
Speaker 1: I mean seriously, we didn't talk about it on the air,
Speaker 1: but Lorraina is every once in a while doing the
Speaker 1: late show, people take naps and they show up late
Speaker 1: and a couple of minutes late, or maybe at the
Speaker 1: most half an hour. But she was like really late,
Speaker 1: and we were we were mildly concerned. We were, and
Speaker 1: fortunately she was fine and she she had fallen asleep
Speaker 1: and all that. But yeah, I don't, I don't know
Speaker 1: exactly what happened. I just know she's fine. That's all
Speaker 1: I really care. About And that's funny. I told her Danny,
Speaker 1: I said, you know, we were very worried about you.
Speaker 1: We thought you might, you know, be in a ditch somewhere.
Speaker 1: But now that you're okay, now we're going to rip
Speaker 1: on you. And now now you're okay, so we're gonna
Speaker 1: goof on you. And that's usually the rule, you know.
Speaker 3: She she goes to Disneyland a lot and she fell
Speaker 3: asleep on the matterhorn.
Speaker 1: Did she really?
Speaker 3: Yeah? They left her in the Bob Sled and she
Speaker 3: went on the ride sixty four times in a row.
Speaker 1: Say, hey, around and around and around and around.
Speaker 3: Her back is blown out right now from the Bob Sled.
Speaker 1: Makes a lot of sense. Mike, in Seattle, you were
Speaker 1: just in Seattle.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just got back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ben, I love your show. Listen to the podcast
Speaker 1: as well. Obviously, I don't believe you have let Real
Speaker 1: Talk back on the show. He disrespected you and your family.
Speaker 1: He deserved a lifetime band. Why did you let him back? Uh? Well, Mike,
Speaker 1: we touched on this a little bit yesterday. I ban
Speaker 1: I banned Real Talk for I think it was six
Speaker 1: months or a year, if I remember correctly. I think
Speaker 1: it was like six months a year, and that was it.
Speaker 1: I don't and I don't lifetime bands or whatever. I mean,
Speaker 1: he said something he shouldn't have said, and he upset
Speaker 1: me and people were upset, and so that was that.
Speaker 1: But you know, it was six months or yeah, I
Speaker 1: forget what it was, Mike. It was a long time ago,
Speaker 1: and part of me actually was happy he called in.
Speaker 1: I was like, this is kind of cool, you know.
Speaker 1: I don't you know, if you want to you think
Speaker 1: you should be banned, that's fine, that's your prerogative. I
Speaker 1: host the show and I let him back. So I
Speaker 1: don't you know.
Speaker 3: When we when we talked about this on Saturdays Pod,
Speaker 3: I inserted the little clip of him and Eddie singing
Speaker 3: that classic song together.
Speaker 1: Go to Hell, Eddie, back up, back up, up, check up.
Speaker 3: Some of the moments where I remember you laughing uncontrollably
Speaker 3: came from Real Talk calls.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I mean we had great moments on the show.
Speaker 1: I remember the Golden Ticket when that started. You cooked
Speaker 1: that up, Danny. The Golden Ticket. You remember Real Talk
Speaker 1: got a golden ticket. I think we gave him like
Speaker 1: the first golden ticket.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we did. He helped me kind of draft the
Speaker 3: whole idea.
Speaker 1: So remember he hung up and then called back a
Speaker 1: minute later to use the golden ticket. Yeah, it was hilarious.
Speaker 3: I was like, And whenever he would do bets with
Speaker 3: the crew, it was always, well, you're gonna have to
Speaker 3: sing a duet with me if you lose. Yeah, And
Speaker 3: and of course Eddie was victim to that.
Speaker 1: It was we had a lot of fun moments with
Speaker 1: real talk back back in the day. And and and
Speaker 1: I always love he would do like three things and
Speaker 1: then the third one was always something that would get dumped.
Speaker 1: Remember he would do like three things. Two were benign
Speaker 1: and then the third one was next level. JJ from
Speaker 1: Ohio rights into the mid I says, guys. After the
Speaker 1: Calves won the title here I live near Cleveland. I
Speaker 1: purchased a brand new wardrobe of championship merchandise to celebrate
Speaker 1: the Calves winning. Will you and Danny be doing the
Speaker 1: same for the Dodgers with their World Series? Were you
Speaker 1: gonna buy a bunch of clothes? I don't know, abo.
Speaker 1: I might buy a shirt or a hat, but I
Speaker 1: don't think I'm gonna go crazy. Are you Danny?
Speaker 3: You gonna no, no, because you don't want to look
Speaker 3: like you just started rooting for the team. You don't
Speaker 3: want to look like an advertisement for one series. But
Speaker 3: those hats are sweet. I took a picture of Dave
Speaker 3: Roberts wearing one of the hats thread the gold thread
Speaker 3: that says twenty twenty four, really big on the front
Speaker 3: of it, so nice, and I sent it to my
Speaker 3: better half immediately, and I was like, I want this.
Speaker 1: Hat, so that'll be in your collection my stocking. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my favorite JJ is Contraman we talked about. I had
Speaker 1: the twenty seventeen World Series hat World Series Champion hat
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers, which obviously they never made it because
Speaker 1: the Astros cheated. The assholes cheated. But that's my favorite.
Speaker 1: Probably i'll get something, I'm sure. I'm not. I don't anticipating,
Speaker 1: you know what. I used to love those old school
Speaker 1: I think they still make them, those cartoon character drawings
Speaker 1: of the players on the shirt. They do it more
Speaker 1: for basketball.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, I remember when that was really popular.
Speaker 1: It's back in the like the nineties or whatever, eighties, nineties.
Speaker 1: But are those are pretty neat? Those are pretty neat?
Speaker 1: Reggie from Detroit says, hey, Ben and Danny and Jeorde
Speaker 1: watching the World Series. Congrats your Dodgers. Where does Freddie
Speaker 1: Freeman's performance rank in your lifetime for postseason dominance? He says,
Speaker 1: how do you rank these? In my life? I still
Speaker 1: think to this day that as good as Freddie was,
Speaker 1: and he tied the record for RBIs in a World
Speaker 1: Series and all that, if you go back to the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one NLCS, because I was at all those games,
Speaker 1: the Braves and the Dodgers, Eddie Rosario, I still don't
Speaker 1: believe what I watched with Eddie Rosario. And yet Freddie
