Speaker 1: Kabbooms.
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 fastion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Mallard starts right now in.
Speaker 1: The air Everyway Well come In the beginning of the
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler and Danny G Radio, it
Speaker 1: is Sunday, Lazy Day in the month of June, which
Speaker 1: many sports gas bags and blowhards complain is the worst
Speaker 1: month of the year. I believe that is an outdate
Speaker 1: to take Danny G because of the twenty four hour
Speaker 1: news cycle and because of the social media world feeding
Speaker 1: us content from players tweeting out ridiculous things. This week
Speaker 1: we had the gift of Zion Williamson doing his own
Speaker 1: Mary Povich, uh random onlyfan horn Stars and just just
Speaker 1: wonderful Daddy. Daddy. Does that count as a double double?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I know he likes double doubles.
Speaker 1: And my favorite part of that story Danny and I
Speaker 1: know you guys talked about on Covino Rich, but I
Speaker 1: laughed my ass off when the one I forget their names,
Speaker 1: but the one who ratted him out that said she
Speaker 1: might have a biscuit developing in the in the in
Speaker 1: the oven there in her oven. She said this is
Speaker 1: she said, I was helping you get back on the court,
Speaker 1: you know, like she was helping him with his I
Speaker 1: guess the way she phrased it though, like she made
Speaker 1: it seem like he told her, Hey, I really need
Speaker 1: this to get you know, back on the court, Like
Speaker 1: she was doing some kind of uh, you know, training
Speaker 1: for the New Orleans Pelicans to get this guy's fat
Speaker 1: ass back on the court by going totown. Just wonderful,
Speaker 1: just great.
Speaker 3: My favorite part was screenshots of screenshots, because she took
Speaker 3: an actual picture of the screen of her phone and
Speaker 3: it was cracked.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, it's just that was a one and
Speaker 1: that story is not going away. If she is pregnant
Speaker 1: like Zion, he doesn't have twins, but I mean, think
Speaker 1: about it, if they can live in the same city,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have two kids graduating first grade, second grade,
Speaker 1: third grade, birthdays or just a couple of days apart. Hey, dad,
Speaker 1: why why's my birthday this? You know, i''m five days
Speaker 1: after my sister. What happened there, Daddy? It's a different
Speaker 1: you know, that's a.
Speaker 4: Very very romantical.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that is romance. That is love. And it
Speaker 1: reminded me, and I mentioned this, I did a monologue
Speaker 1: about this, But it reminded me of that LeVar ball
Speaker 1: ran a couple of years ago when he was talking
Speaker 1: about was it LaMelo or LeVar or the other kid?
Speaker 1: What's his name? I forget the other kid, but his
Speaker 1: kids in the NBA, and he's like, You're never go
Speaker 1: He's like, you're never going to meet a good woman
Speaker 1: in that life. You know, all the women are you know, hoes.
Speaker 1: You know how much money you have, You're not gonna
Speaker 1: meet a good girl there. You know?
Speaker 4: Would you would you agree with that that the NBA
Speaker 4: is the number one sport for hose.
Speaker 1: You know, there are plenty of hoes around all the sports.
Speaker 1: I think they're just a little different, like there's in hockey.
Speaker 1: When I covered hockey, they were called puck bunnies that
Speaker 1: would follow hockey players around. And these women and this
Speaker 1: is in the days before social media. These ladies were
Speaker 1: so professional. They knew all the the the bars that
Speaker 1: the players hung out at, they knew the hotel obviously,
Speaker 1: and they would stock the players. Baseball players I think
Speaker 1: have it the greatest because they're in town for several days.
Speaker 1: But it's all I mean, it's yeah, like the each
Speaker 1: sports got there. I think football is probably the hardest
Speaker 1: for the groupies because they the road. You're not on
Speaker 1: the road that much. It's more secure at the team hotel.
Speaker 1: Guys still find a way to go out and screw around.
Speaker 1: But basketball is just like next level man.
Speaker 4: All access passes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's like this weird mix of like, you know,
Speaker 1: some of the ladies. I remember when I covered basketball
Speaker 1: and I was there, and I remember after the game
Speaker 1: they'd courton off at Staples Center, which it used to
Speaker 1: be called. They'd courting off a section behind the basket,
Speaker 1: and like the wags, the wives and girlfriends would hang out,
Speaker 1: friends and family would hang out wait for the players
Speaker 1: to come out. And these basketball players would have no shame.
Speaker 1: They'd be like guys, you know, older guys in the
Speaker 1: that were married and their wives would be there with
Speaker 1: their kids, and then there'd be just a you know,
Speaker 1: a woman who might have just come as a street walker,
Speaker 1: who's is right right down, you know, a couple of
Speaker 1: seats over it, and it was It was good. It
Speaker 1: reminded me of my one of my favorite radio stories
Speaker 1: years ago. At the Premier Network's Christmas party at a
Speaker 1: gallop Beverly Hills Hotel. I told the story a few times.
Speaker 1: One of the guys that worked at the network, who
Speaker 1: no longer works at the network but is still a
Speaker 1: friend of mine, brought a stripper to the Christmas party
Speaker 1: and all, you know, everyone else is in. All the
Speaker 1: other women are like married or they're in long term relationships.
Speaker 1: And it would have been okay, Danny if my pals
Speaker 1: a stripper friend who he don't. I think he got
Speaker 1: this lady through college. He donated so much money to
Speaker 1: this woman. And so she shows up and she was
Speaker 1: in her full costume, her for you know, she wasn't naked,
Speaker 1: but she was close.
Speaker 4: Baby.
Speaker 1: Yeah. There were things popping out here and there, you know,
Speaker 1: and other women like they don't they don't appreciate that day.
Speaker 1: And then the men were really appreciative. The other women were.
Speaker 1: They were whispering you know this, you know, doing the
Speaker 1: whole thing quite there. That Zion story was was amazing, amazing, amazing,
Speaker 1: and that leads us into let's get the band Radio
Speaker 1: Ohio al Pop goes the culture John John, all Right,
Speaker 1: here we go. Let's get right to it. We'll do
Speaker 1: a few of these because we do have a pretty
Speaker 1: decent sized mail bag, and this one from outer space.
Speaker 1: I didn't talk about this much on the radio show.
Speaker 1: This should be the biggest, biggest story in the world,
Speaker 1: and it's not getting too much play. So there's a
Speaker 1: whistleblower who came in front of politicians this week and
Speaker 1: said that he believes that he has information classified information
Speaker 1: that the United States has recovered vehicles of non human origin,
Speaker 1: is the way that he described it. This guy is legit.
Speaker 1: He's been vetted. He's a former US intelligent agent, intelligency agent,
Speaker 1: or whatever you say. But he's the one that blew
Speaker 1: the lid on what he says is a recovery of
Speaker 1: an unidentified flying object. And this is a huge revelation.
Speaker 1: The guy's the guy's name is David Grush, I believe
Speaker 1: his name, and he's got all kinds of accolades if
Speaker 1: you're in that kind of thing. He's a decorated war veteran,
Speaker 1: and he's worked for these big government agencies with huge bureaucracies.
Speaker 1: He held top level clearance while while working for some
Speaker 1: military task force and all that, and this is the guy,
Speaker 1: this is the guy that said that they have vehicles,
Speaker 1: and analysis of the vehicles have indicated that they are
Speaker 1: of exotic non human intelligence and and just craziness. Shouldn't
Speaker 1: that be the biggest story in the world. I was like, Eh,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like the it's like the Kicker story
Speaker 1: at the end. You know, it's buried on a website somewhere.
Speaker 1: It's very odd to me. I don't know. Why is
Speaker 1: that not getting more attention. I don't get it.
Speaker 3: We talked about this last week, how more and more
Speaker 3: it's common to hear these stories and nobody even bats
Speaker 3: an eye.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's nuts. And now there's of course people
Speaker 1: coming out as you would expect where they're like, well
Speaker 1: wait a minute, we need we need information. And who
Speaker 1: are the people that are like, we can't release this.
Speaker 1: Is it because they've determined that society will fall apart?
Speaker 1: Is there a way, Danny, if we're close to this
Speaker 1: being announced, is there a way we can buy future
Speaker 1: stocks options on toilet paper and water and hand sanitizer
Speaker 1: and mass and all that.
Speaker 3: It's ever if this ever goes down again, COVID style
Speaker 3: will be finally be old enough to go in for
Speaker 3: those special senior hours.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we can go early. That'd be great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we can go in there early and solid shot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: nothing to worry about, all right, What else do we
Speaker 1: have on Popco's The Culture, Well, here's here's a fun
Speaker 1: story about a trail came. You know those cameras that
Speaker 1: people put up to see animals in their own domain,
Speaker 1: you know, their own habitat wandering around. So there's a
Speaker 1: story out this week and it comes out of Canada,
Speaker 1: and this one's a doozy. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: guys talked about this or not on Coveno Enrich, but
Speaker 1: they show security footage. It's from one of these cameras
Speaker 1: out in the woods in Canada, and it is insane.
Speaker 1: So when it happened, there's this woman who loves nature.
Speaker 1: She's like a nurse in Canada, and there had been
Speaker 1: a deer that died on her property, like a deer
Speaker 1: carcass there, and so this woman she's in British Columbia,
Speaker 1: and so she set up a camera. She figured there'd
Speaker 1: be some animal that would come along and eat it,
Speaker 1: and she kind of wanted to get the tape of it.
Speaker 1: She wanted to see how they would be vultures and
Speaker 1: eat the rotting carcass of the deer which was in
Speaker 1: her garden on her property. So she set the camera
Speaker 1: up to see what animals might you know, take a bite,
Speaker 1: have a nice, nice dinner from the dead deer. And
Speaker 1: she's she flips on the video and she captured footage
Speaker 1: of a couple of she called them witches, a couple
Speaker 1: of women. Oh yeah, were scantily clad and they decided
Speaker 1: they needed to have a nice bite of the raw
Speaker 1: dead deer meat.
Speaker 4: And I saw these pictures on Yahoo News.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like so she's like she was watching
Speaker 1: with her. Grandpa said. I came the next day and
Speaker 1: Grandpa said he's got naked people on the camera and
Speaker 1: I said, no, you didn't, bullshit, And so he showed
Speaker 1: the uh the granddaughter and uh yeah, they're full of
Speaker 1: as they say, disheveled people. They look like they're wearing wigs.
Speaker 1: Like how do you end up in that spot? Like
Speaker 1: what what do you what do you do? And that's
Speaker 1: how do you end up going down that road?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Where did those witches come from?
Speaker 1: And where did they go? Where did they go?
Speaker 4: That is that is wild?
Speaker 1: And they got to live somewhere in Vancouver, somewhere in
Speaker 1: British Columbia, right, and somewhere around there. It's nuts, man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you never know. Everything's on camera these days. Everything is
Speaker 1: on camera. Every single thing is on camera, including the
Speaker 1: woman who decided she wanted to put some some eye
Speaker 1: drops in her eyes. You see this one. This, This
Speaker 1: must happen a lot though. So this random woman, she,
Speaker 1: you know, she wanted to take care of her eyes.
Speaker 1: She wanted to put some eye drops in her eyes,
Speaker 1: and she ended up glass. She grabbed the glue bottle
Speaker 1: and she glued her eyeshut mistake nail glue for eye drops.
Speaker 4: Oh how we know this, Danny.
Speaker 1: We know this because, of course she posted the video
Speaker 1: on TikTok and it's been seen millions of times as
Speaker 1: the woman inadvertently squeezing glue into her left eye.
Speaker 4: Did Beyonce send this one money too to help her out?
Speaker 1: The man directly right there, right there in the eye,
Speaker 1: How do they get that out of the eye. Like,
Speaker 1: what's the move there to get that out of the eye.
Speaker 1: You go to the emergency room. She said she felt
Speaker 1: burning bad, burning felt hot. She shut her eye. Of
Speaker 1: course that was a mistake.
Speaker 3: I remember my mom getting an urgent phone call. My
Speaker 3: aunt and uncle were in the emergency room because two
Speaker 3: of my little cousins were playing with super glue and
Speaker 3: they both put it in their eyes like drops.
Speaker 4: This's a good question because I told my mom at
Speaker 4: the time, I'm like, how can they fix that? Their
Speaker 4: eyes are going to be stuck together forever.
Speaker 1: Well, I've solved the answer, Danny, it says, if I'm
Speaker 1: reading this correctly, the doctors in this case, they were
Speaker 1: able to get the eyes open, but the recovery process
Speaker 1: took a good amount of time. We're talking days of
Speaker 1: They had numbing drops for the eyes. He had to
Speaker 1: numb the eye. The woman had blurry vision and her
Speaker 1: eye was very itchy. It was discomfort and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: So there you go, and the mix up her She
Speaker 1: said she gave her daughter a manicure and she forgot
Speaker 1: that the glue bottle was there. So she says, but
Speaker 1: I love that her first move was not to call
Speaker 1: someone to take her to the hospital. It was to
Speaker 1: turn on the phone and make sure you get a
Speaker 1: TikTok for.
Speaker 4: The out of it.
Speaker 1: Like, that's your your eye is you have one eye.
Speaker 1: You're the one eyed one eyed bandit. You know you're
Speaker 1: you're a pirate with an eye patch. And that's the move.
Speaker 4: Have big eyes.
Speaker 1: That's that is wonderful. What else we have on pop
Speaker 1: goes to culture, Well, here's one from San Francisco and
Speaker 1: a shopkeeper there, an immigrant store owner, says that the
Speaker 1: city of San Francisco is now worse than Afghanistan. He
Speaker 1: said that after he lost one hundred thousand dollars to
Speaker 1: burglars at his his store. So he determined that is
Speaker 1: the case. And it is open season now. If you
Speaker 1: want anything, just go get it. You don't need to
Speaker 1: pay for it, and you're good on that. I'll do
Speaker 1: a couple more on Popco's the culture, because we do
Speaker 1: have the mail bag. I want to get to that,
Speaker 1: not shortchange the people that wrote in this one from
Speaker 1: the world of science and people are upset with Apple
Speaker 1: iPhone users, very concerned why there's a new name drop feature.
Speaker 1: If you saw the Tech News this week, but there's
Speaker 1: a new name drop feature that shares your contact details
Speaker 1: with somebody else, another iPhone user when your smartphones are together.
Speaker 1: So they it uses bluetooth. Right, So people are freaking
Speaker 1: out because you know how a lot of like women,
Speaker 1: they'll meet some dude at the bar and the guy
Speaker 1: will like buy them drinks and they'll give them a
Speaker 1: fake number. Yeah, so they're like, well, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: I can't give a fake number because now you know,
Speaker 1: any weird dude can get my number. How am I
Speaker 1: supposed to give them a fake number? Because it's right there.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, you have access to this.
Speaker 4: So so you don't have to grant access.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, they say the way, and I'm not totally sure.
Speaker 1: It says the iPhone users. We're complaining because you can't
Speaker 1: do the fake you know, the fake number thing. But
Speaker 1: the people at Apple have tried to downplay the concern.
Speaker 1: But this is like a nationwide software up. I'm not
Speaker 1: updated my phone, so I've not seen how this goes.
Speaker 1: But they released this animation. It shows how the name
Speaker 1: drop feature works between the two iPhone users, which it's
Speaker 1: kind of like swapping business cards. Once the two devices
Speaker 1: are together and the Bluetooth connection is established, each phone
Speaker 1: brings up their contact poster. How exciting is that?
Speaker 4: Keep your bluetooth in the off position.
Speaker 1: Yes, that would be a good way to do a
Speaker 1: good way to do it. That would be a solid
Speaker 1: way to go about that. And Chinese. There's anything else
Speaker 1: here that stands out. I mean, there's some other decent
Speaker 1: stories in pop ghost to the culture. But I believe
Speaker 1: we must press on. We must press on because we
Speaker 1: have another Ohio alvignette. You know what that means, Danny
Speaker 1: g It's mail bag. That's right, the mail bag. The
Speaker 1: mail bag. These are actual letters by actual listeners. Let's
Speaker 1: do a rapid fire mail bag, Danny, what do you say,
Speaker 1: rapid fire mail bag.
Speaker 4: Let's go. Let's do it all right.
Speaker 1: Alf from back in the day, he says, when Fridays
Speaker 1: were for interviews, how dare you? We did have an
Speaker 1: interview on y Ed Roberto. That was a hard guest
Speaker 1: to get. It's hard to get a bus driver on.
Speaker 1: We got him on from La soon to be bus
Speaker 1: driver from La Unified School District. And we will have
Speaker 1: more guests on. It's just very hard. I don't have
Speaker 1: time to book anybody, and Danny's busy with Covino and
Speaker 1: rich and stuff, so it becomes a bit of a
Speaker 1: scheduling kerfluffle. The time I could book interviews, I'm sleeping,
Speaker 1: so that makes it very difficult to contact the people
Speaker 1: I would need to contact. Aaus I'm still be anyway, Al.
Speaker 4: Says, unless as Brian Billick, we don't really care exactly anyway.
Speaker 1: Al says, as a fan of the Third Shift with
Speaker 1: Ben Mahler and Danny G I have been lobbying a
Speaker 1: lobbying for you to have a KK Karen k to
Speaker 1: reminisce about the glory days. You recently said that you
Speaker 1: reached out to her and she has declined.
Speaker 4: What is the deal?
Speaker 1: Spill the t Benjamin from ALF Yeah, so decline is
Speaker 1: a harsh word. I would not say that she declined.
Speaker 1: It was just not scheduling desirable would be the way
Speaker 1: I would say it. There's only a couple of windows
Speaker 1: I can record the podcast in because I have to
Speaker 1: get ready for the show and I sleep during the day,
Speaker 1: and so it's not convenient for everybody I have determined.
Speaker 1: Just on a side note, it is much easier when
Speaker 1: we get people who are living on the Eastern seaboard
Speaker 1: because I can, I can do the podcast right right
Speaker 1: after if I can do those interviews sometimes after the
Speaker 1: show if I have to, and it's it's it's always better.
Speaker 1: But anyway, Karen Case lives on the West Coast. She
Speaker 1: does not live in in California anymore. She she she
Speaker 1: did leave California and so that's a that's also an issue.
Speaker 1: But uh, she she would do it, She said she
Speaker 1: would do it, but we haven't been able to schedule it.
Speaker 1: And I haven't really checked in work with her since
Speaker 1: she left the area. So we'll we'll get her on
Speaker 1: at some point. Maybe I'll reach out to to KK
Speaker 1: today or tomorrow on Monday, and we'll see if we
Speaker 1: can get her in. But yeah, and we were also
Speaker 1: talking about doing a series of behind the scenes with
Speaker 1: some of the guys that called into the show, kind
Speaker 1: of find out what makes them tick. I don't know
Speaker 1: if anyone wants to hear that we did that during
Speaker 1: COVID when before you were on the on the podcast, Danny,
Speaker 1: We we put like Doc Mike on, I think we have.
Speaker 1: We had a few line I think Blind Scott was
Speaker 1: on for one. We did a few of those type
Speaker 1: of things Kevin and Kansas right sound of the mailbag,
Speaker 1: he says. Dear Ben and Danny g He says, Hey, Ben,
Speaker 1: on your Minnesota trip, I wonder if you were able
Speaker 1: to make it to Bemagee. I believe it is how
Speaker 1: it's pronounced. I have no idea. I've never seen that
Speaker 1: word before, he says. To see the statue of Paul Bunyan.
Speaker 1: Seeing the photos from the Malor meet and greet reminds
Speaker 1: me of tourists making or taking their pictures next to
Speaker 1: Paul Bunyan. Everyone looks so small next to the feature celebrity. Well,
Speaker 1: oh oh, here you're talking about my stature. Thank you
Speaker 1: for that, Kevin, very kind, he says.
Speaker 4: Ben.
Speaker 1: When he says, Ben, what were some reactions by your
Speaker 1: guests when they met you and posed for pictures with you?
Speaker 1: Did any of them mention Paul Bunyan, he says, as
Speaker 1: always you and Danny g Rock the weekend. So I'm
Speaker 1: in a very nice group of people in Minnesota or
Speaker 1: from now He from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, we had people
Speaker 1: from Ohio, Illinois I believe was represented as well. I
Speaker 1: mean all over that part of the country. And yeah,
Speaker 1: there were a few people that were kind of like
Speaker 1: giving me a look, like, what's going on with this guy?
Speaker 1: This guy's a big guy. But nobody said anything. I think, well,
Speaker 1: that's what I think. There were like a couple of
Speaker 1: people said, man, you're really tall. Nobody nobody mentioned Paul
Speaker 1: Bunyan's name, So I did not I did not get that.
Speaker 1: That did not happen. Next one cal from Grand Junction, Colorado.
Speaker 1: He says, guys, how much do your wives spend on
Speaker 1: their hair? He says, will they ever? Will they even
Speaker 1: tell you? Do you even ask? Yeah? So here's as
Speaker 1: my watch starts talking to me about Paul Bunyon because
Speaker 1: I mentioned Paul Bunyon, all of a sudden, I got
Speaker 1: to turn that off. I don't know how to that
Speaker 1: off anyway. Get to the point, pez I'll go first,
Speaker 1: my wife just had her hair done this week. And
Speaker 1: the way it works at the Malor Mansion, Danny, much
Speaker 1: like the military, we have a don't ask, don't tell
Speaker 1: policy comes to extravagant expenses because I lose my marbles, right.
Speaker 1: I become a potato head when I find out how
Speaker 1: much is being spent on certain things that you could
Speaker 1: say are in the frivolous category. So I don't want
Speaker 1: to know. All I know is that when my wife
Speaker 1: goes to the salon, it is an all day thing.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like Gilligan's Island when you go on
Speaker 1: a three hour tour. That's an outdated reference. But you
Speaker 1: go on a three hour tour and you're gone as
Speaker 1: long as the TV show lasts and that's it, and
Speaker 1: that's all.
Speaker 3: And you can update it Ben by saying it's like
Speaker 3: the finale of a Bachelor season on TV.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's like it's like the Bachelor. The final episode
Speaker 1: of the Bachelor.
Speaker 4: Yep, goes on and on and on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So what about you, Danny, You're enjoying this experience
Speaker 1: as well now as a married man get away for me,
Speaker 1: your child coming on the way here soon and all that.
Speaker 1: So is it the same with you? Or do you
Speaker 1: know how much is being spent at the salon?
Speaker 3: You know, I usually know how much is being spent
Speaker 3: because my wife, he will tell me. She'll vent in
Speaker 3: a text about either A how well she did and
Speaker 3: she saved some money or B how pissed she is
Speaker 3: because she spent X amount of money and didn't get
Speaker 3: the results that she wanted. But the past few months, god,
Speaker 3: almost eight months, it hasn't been an issue because when
Speaker 3: you're pregnant, you can't use all those chemicals in your hair.
Speaker 3: It's not been an issue. Of course, that's going to
Speaker 3: change after Paul Bunyan arrives.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she'll be free from her last ten months or whatever.
Speaker 1: I'm not a numbers guy, but that doesn't seem to
Speaker 1: add up anyway.
Speaker 3: It's usually nine months, but you know, if the kid
Speaker 3: comes early, then you're looking at eight and a half months.
Speaker 1: Okay. Nick in Wisconsin rights in very nice, Nick who
Speaker 1: was part of that scam, some of the members of
Speaker 1: the Mallard militia, those opportunists to what the malor meet
Speaker 1: and greet who made me look bad by recording my
Speaker 1: warm up?
Speaker 4: Axe throws, Oh the warm up.
Speaker 1: Bad job by them. Nick in Wisconsin says, been and
Speaker 1: Danny g straight to the point. Please, would you rather
Speaker 1: have a permanent unibrow or no eyebrows at all? Now?
Speaker 1: This is this is a good question, and he's really
Speaker 1: good at coming up with these questions. So I I
Speaker 1: believe I think the answer to this, Danny, is the unibrow.
Speaker 1: Because I've known a few people that have. It's like
Speaker 1: the disease that Charlie Villanueva, that basketball player had with
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Bucks, remember a few years back.
Speaker 4: Yeah, where he couldn't grow hair.
Speaker 1: Anywhere on his body, Like there was no hair anywhere.
Speaker 1: And it it just I think having a unit like
Speaker 1: being like Anthony Davis is probably a little bit better
Speaker 1: or Ernie from Burton Ernie then the other way. So
Speaker 1: I would go with a unibrow. And sometimes people say
Speaker 1: I have a unibrow, I don't take care of my
Speaker 1: grooming and I'm all disheveled. Yeah, and what about you?
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you don't have anything there, then you look
Speaker 3: part alien.
Speaker 4: You look like Sam Cassel.
Speaker 3: If you have Anthony Davis going on, you can you know,
Speaker 3: you can market it. You can pretend like you're doing
Speaker 3: it on purpose.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I found I stumbled on this famous unibrows. George W. Bush,
Speaker 1: Nicholas Cage is on there. A bunch of other actors
Speaker 1: I've never heard of. I've heard of this guy, George Harrison.
Speaker 1: He was kind of a big deal back in the day.
Speaker 1: Who else do we have here?
Speaker 4: Uh?

Speaker 1: on Known. He says, do you have any input on
Speaker 1: who takes Roberto's place? He says, I want Juan Valdez
Speaker 1: or the Frito Bandito. He says, I want those amazing
Speaker 1: recipes all that. Tony says, can we still have Cooking
Speaker 1: with Roberto? That would be tough, although it would be
Speaker 1: funny if we whoever gets that job, if we just
Speaker 1: called their segment cooking with Roberto, that would be funny.
Speaker 4: Funny. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Looking yet to answer the question, I have not been
Speaker 1: asked by management. Normally, the protocol the company, they will
Speaker 1: reach out to me and Jonas because it's our shows
Speaker 1: that are affected, and they will normally ask us if
Speaker 1: we have a preference. Sometimes they do not pay any
Speaker 1: attention to us and ignore us completely. So I have
Speaker 1: no idea which way this is going to go. I
Speaker 1: do hope they will reach out. I do have some.
Speaker 3: Wait wait, so you're telling me you're actually like Lebron,
Speaker 3: You're really the general manager.
Speaker 1: Oh me, well no, no, no, no, no, no, they'll last my opinion.
Speaker 1: I didn't say they would take my opinion because normally
Speaker 1: the people that I like, they don't like so for
Speaker 1: whatever reason. So I don't. I do not know who's
Speaker 1: going to replace Roberto. I have no idea how long
Speaker 1: the process or process is going to take. I have
Speaker 1: a feeling, based on finances and having to pay overtime
Speaker 1: that likely will not take that long. That they will
Speaker 1: expedite the process to put somebody in there. And that's that.

Speaker 1: large and in charge. But the first sniff of ranch dressing,
Speaker 1: the rotting, disgusting ranch dressing, the devil's blood, the first
Speaker 1: sniff of that, or the first sniff or the first
Speaker 1: taste if I had to taste the devil's blood, that
Speaker 1: that would send me into some kind of shock and

Speaker 1: keep up the good work. Do you have any favorite
Speaker 1: memories from proms or dances in high school? So we've
Speaker 1: gotten this question a few times. I think we've answered
Speaker 1: the question a few times, but I have on my
Speaker 1: answer a blank space on my answer. The reason I
Speaker 1: have a blank space is because I never attended to
Speaker 1: prom at all. I think I went to one dance,
Speaker 1: Buy Mistake, Buy Mistake with some friends of mine, and
Speaker 1: that was it. But certainly not with any woman, or
Speaker 1: at that time it would have been a girl. But
Speaker 1: never never attended any of those things. But Danny, you did.
Speaker 1: You've told some stories about those things in the past.
Speaker 4: Just one dance, Ben, Because my mom was really scared
Speaker 4: that I was going to get a girl pregnant. I
Speaker 4: swear to God if you get a girl pregnant, so
Speaker 4: she thought a dance equals a pregnancy. Man. The only
Speaker 4: dance I got to go to was Sober Grad Night.
Speaker 3: There was no funny business going on until the chaperones
Speaker 3: at the dance, hours into the all night event, fell
Speaker 3: asleep in their chairs. You can see them knocking out
Speaker 3: one by one with their heads kind of to the side. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and when the DJ played Sir mix a lot babies
Speaker 3: got back. I found the nicest booty on the nicest
Speaker 3: seniors and rotated from.
Speaker 4: Booty to booty.
Speaker 1: Nice. That's the move.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was when I learned how to be a
Speaker 4: dog catcher.
Speaker 1: I got all the game right. I think we'll get
Speaker 1: out on that. I mean, there's some other stuff we
Speaker 1: could yap about.
Speaker 4: But we've dog catch a dog catcha We've.
Speaker 1: Got places to go, people to see, things to not do.
Speaker 1: I have a show, there's a show coming up tonight,
