1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 1: minutes a week was enough, think again. He's the last

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: remnants of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness.

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow. The Clearinghouse

6
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: of Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the a Everywhere.

8
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 1: The Fifth Hour with Ben Mallor and Danny G Radio

9
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: back at it in the podcast Dojo on a Sunday,

10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: and that means one thing and one thing only. It

11
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: is time to plump up Danny G. Because we are

12
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:54,959
Speaker 1: about to jump head first into a colossal Bafo sako

13
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: addition of the mailbag, and that means, ohio A, let's

14
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: at ome. It's all right, thank you for that, ohio.

15
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: All these are actual questions sent in by actual listeners.

16
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: I would like to put out we did not get

17
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 1: the backscratcher yesterday. We ran out of time. It's okay

18
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: because nobody scratched our back, Danny. Not a single person

19
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: scratched our back. Bad job by you. But there's another opportunity.

20
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: This week, And if you want to help us out,

21
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: the podcast page is available, the Apple podcast page, and

22
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: you can write a nice review. We got shut out

23
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: this week. We had a bunch last week. We had

24
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: like four or five last week. This week none. I

25
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't really call it a shutout. I would call it

26
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: you being a really bad teacher giving out too much homework. No,

27
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,480

Speaker 1: you through batch, your significant other to the twenty twenty

33
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: the awards given out, all the honors. What an amazing night,

34
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 1: the greatest night of overnight talk radio and sports that

35
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: we have. But so no backscratcher. But let's get to

36
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: the mailbag. We played Ohio, how so we must get

37
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: to the actual questions by actual listeners. Let's get to it.

38
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: The first one, it's from Fred in Spring, Texas. He says, hey, Ben,

39
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: and Danigee. He says, Ben, can you share some of

40
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: your experiences on New Zealand radio. Did you ever visit

41
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: New Zealand? Did you ever master knowledge of cricket or rugby?

42
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: Says Fred So. First of all, I've never been to

43
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: New Zealand. I would love to go to New Zealand.

44
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: I was a correspondent. I was the American correspondent on

45
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: the They had a bunch of international correspondents raio. It

46
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: was called Radio Sport in New Zealand, and I loved it.

47
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: It was great, it was wonderful and all that. Unfortunately,

48
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: when COVID came around, that's it. They did not make

49
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: it through COVID. They were casualty. The entire network went

50
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: out of business during COVID. The reason, the real reason

51
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: they went out of business is it cost a lot

52
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: of money and the company that owned Radio Sport no

53
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: longer wanted to spend the amount of money that it takes,

54
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: and so they pulled the plug. They said that's it.

55
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: You know, we're done, And so I lost the gig.

56
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: But I had become good friends with Darcy Waldergrave, who

57
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: was doing the afternoon show and now does but he does.

58
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: He did a morning show. Now he's on the news

59
00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: talk station. And the comparison on that would be like

60
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles you have KFI. In New York you

61
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: have WINS. I don't know if WINS is the right

62
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: example because WINS is just a hard news station. It's

63
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: more of a news talk But anyway, Darcy does a

64
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: show on the weekends which is the number one show

65
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: in New Zealand. It's a morning breakfast show. And I

66
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: still go on with him every once in a while,

67
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: but it's no longer a paying gig. I was getting

68
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: paid to appear on radio sport. I would love to

69
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: go to New Zealand. I have learned that my appearances

70
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: can be preempted by cricket. Cricket goes on forever and

71
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: ever and ever and ever. And I've learned some fun

72
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: facts about people in New Zealand that I didn't know about.

73
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: Like a lot of people go on vacation or as

74
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:55,119
Speaker 1: they call it, holiday to Indonesia. That's a popular spot

75
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: in a few other countries which are obviously not that

76
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: far away, and New Zealand's not close to anything. But

77
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: I did also learn that New Zealand and Australia are

78
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: not all that close. It's a it's a big flight

79
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: to go for it. Seems on the map, Danny, that

80
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: they're right next, but not quite. So it's no surprise

81
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: that they went out of business because here they were

82
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: paying big celebrities like you to come on as a guest. Hey,

83
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: let me tell you something, all right, we have we

84
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 1: have listeners to this day because of that. On the

85
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: overnight people listen. We're actually on in New Zealand as well,

86
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: which doesn't hurt Marcus in San Antonio writes, and he says, hello,

87
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: Uncle Ben and Daddy, Gee Daddy, and a happy daylight

88
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: savings time to both of you. Growing up as a

89
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: military brat, my childhood was mostly spent overseas in Europe.

90
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: Once we returned to the States, we landed in a

91
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: suburb just outside of Kansas City. This was in the

92
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: nineteen eighties and the Royals were at the top of

93
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: their game. They won the World Series in nineteen eighty five,

94
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: and it was a great season. Upon returning, or upon

95
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: entering rather, the sixth grade, Marcus writes, Upon entering the

96
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: sixth grade, one of my classmates was the son of

97
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: fledgling middle reliever, a guy named Dennis Leonard, and the

98
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: son was a bit on the arrogant side. To say

99
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: the least. His dad wasn't a major part of the Royals,

100
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: but when the Royals lost a game, everyone would give

101
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: him a hard time. Marcus says. My question for you

102
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: guys is have either of you or your family members

103
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: ever had to deal with taking crap from someone because

104
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: of something said on the radio or social media by

105
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: either of you? Marcus says, in today's climate of oversensitive

106
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: people and those who are seeking out any way to

107
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: be offended, I was curious of your experiences. Thanks again

108
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: for your time, and I will be voting for the Bennis,

109
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:02,119
Speaker 1: he says during his can'tnot wait to hear the winners.

110
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: That's from Marcus in San Antonio. So I don't want

111
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: to speak for you, Danny, but my experience is my

112
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: wife does not really listen that much, so she's kind

113
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: of out of a loop. And she doesn't really do

114
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: social media anymore. She stopped at because she heard of

115
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: some podcast not to do social media, so she stopped

116
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: doing social media. So she's really oblivious to what's going on.

117
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know if that's the right way

118
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: to phrase it, but she's she's not She didn't have

119
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: to worry about this stuff because she's not dealing with it.

120
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: What about you, Danny? Yeah, same, my dad facebooks. My

121
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: girl stays off of Twitter and stuff like that. She

122
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: loves Instagram reels. She likes seeing funny videos. That's pretty

123
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: much why she has Instagram on her phone, and I

124
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: can relate to that. That's the same reason I use

125
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: Instagram as far as like arguing with people are saying

126
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: something that gets the family and the weeds. No, my

127
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: older brother is on Twitter, but he's very much a

128
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: Magic Johnson tweeter. He'll tweet stuff like I wish I

129
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: could see this Lakers team all season, so there's nothing

130
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: controversial going on that's funny. Yeah, my dad used to

131
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: listen to everything, well, my mom listening to. My dad

132
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: would listen when I was convenient for him, which was

133
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: when I did the Boston stuff when I was on EI,

134
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: and he would listen, and sometimes every once in a

135
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: while somebody would track him down a listener, and my

136
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: dad didn't really know how to deal with that, like,

137
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: what are they talking about? I don't understand. I was like, hey,

138
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's a phenomenon, right, because if you first

139
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: start doing this, then everyone around you wants to tune in.

140
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: When you've been doing this for a long time, no

141
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: one arounds you really gives a shit. Yeah, no, they

142
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: don't give a crap, Like, yeah, he's he's been doing

143
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: that for twenty years. I'm yeah, yeah, good deal. Yeah.

144
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: When you start, it's everyone listens, They comment on your

145
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: your takes, what you're saying. Yeah, they got an opinion,

146
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: they want to they're proud of you. And then after

147
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: a while, so I got you know, it's like it's

148
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: just like driving a bus, you know, it's like we're

149
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: driving a bus around town. Next up on the mailback,

150
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 1: Mike from Fullerton Rights and says, I'm a big fan

151
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: of the Benny Awards, as big a fan as anyone,

152
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: But do you find it worrying how full of themselves

153
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: the winners become after winning Best Crew Filling last year?

154
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,760

157
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: me to the Cavino and Rich Show, and so I

158
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: do a victory lap every single afternoon on the network.

159
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: Well that was what put it over the top. Don

160
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: Martin was just trying to decide what should I do here? What?

161
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, crew filling of the year, look me in, coach,

00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: a radio legend. My man, oh man, I'm gonna make

Speaker 1: Ben finally becoming an Instagram model. I knew it was

166
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: only a matter of time before you were discovered. Well,

167
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, Mike, and I believe he's referencing

168
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: to last week's podcast when I finally was sent an

169
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: offer to be an influencer for really ugly women's sunglasses.

170
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: Those orange frames look good on you right now though,

171
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: thank you. I took a dozen. I figured they were offering,

172
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 1: so why not. You can't turn down an offer like that.

173
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: Next up from Kay Ringing in okac He says, hey, guys,

174
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: how's it going? Right to the question on the mail bag?

175
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: What are some of your biggest bets that you won?

176
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: What are the biggest bets that you have also lost?

177
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: Says I know, Ben Gambles, what about you, daddy? Gee

178
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: ha ha ha. I know people get worked up over

179
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: betting good or bad. I bet it would be awesome content,

180
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: especially when and gets mad it's hilarious. It's not Radio

181
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: Gold Kyrie. Somebody wants to hear me angry. They want

182
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: to hear me happy. They want to hear me flexing

183
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: and doing a victory laub. So I will not even

184
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: share the wins because the wins. Any real gambler who

185
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: shares wins is full of shit. The gambler remembers the losses,

186
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: not the wins. And I've had some all time losses.

187
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: I lost my ass on the Music City Miracle, which

188
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 1: you probably might not remember if you're of a certain age,

189
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: if you're young. But this was the Tennessee Titans wild

190
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: card weekend against the Buffalo Bills. Doug Flutie, Brad Johnson,

191
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: Wade Phillips, that era of the Buffalo Bills against the

192
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, and Buffalo was in position to pull the

193
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: upset on the what turned out to me the fateful

194
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: final play. It was called the Music City Miracle. It

195
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: was an illegal forward pass from Franky. I checked to

196
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: Kevin Dyson. I still I could still close my eyes

197
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: Danny and see the play was a total bullshit call.

198
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: The ball went forward. That's an illegal forward pass because

199
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: they had already lateraled the officials didn't have the balls

200
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: to call it, and next thing you know, Tennessee went

201
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: on that play, they scored, They scored the touchdown. I

202
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: lose my bet. Freaking nightmare. I'm still pissed about it

203
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: all these years later. And then the other one, the

204
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: other one I remember really bad. I was convinced the

205
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves were going to beat the Saint Louis Cardinals

206
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: in a playoff series. And this is when the Braves

207
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: had Maddox, Clavin and Smoltz, three bona fide Hall of Fames.

208
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: The Cardinals didn't have much at all, and they had

209
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: traded for a guy from I think he had been

210
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: on the Giants, but he might have been on somebody

211
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: after the Giants, Will Clark, Will the thrill Clark. Oh god,

212
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: he had that ugly batting stance. Yeah, and this Jabroni

213
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: who had seemingly been washed up, so he might have

214
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: come from like the Texas Rangers or the Orioles or

215
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: something like that. But this guy Will Clark had a

216
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: couple of big hits, as I remember, and the Cardinals,

217
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: all these punch and judy hitters were getting hits standard

218
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 1: Cardinal baseball, killing me and I lost that bet, and

219
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: I still in retrospect, I still can't believe that a

220
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: team with Maddox, Glavin and Smoltz, bunch of Hall of

221
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: Fame position players also and they lost to a second

222
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: rate Cardinal team blows me away. I bet on the series.

223
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: It wasn't one game. I bet on the entire series.

224
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: So you're not much of a gambler, right, You save

225
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: your money, Daddy G. I'm a sports purist. I love sports.

226
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: I do not like losing my hard earned money on

227
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: said sports. You don't lose your win We're winners. I

228
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: want winners. Yeah, I've seen you at four in the

229
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: morning at the twenty four hour Diner in Vegas with

230
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: your last eight dollars. Hey, but those those eggs over

231
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: easy are not beat the Pancakes and not be Kevin

232
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: and Kansas rights in on the mail bag, he says,

233
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: Dear Ben and Danny G. Radio. When I was growing up,

234
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: I watched the weekly baseball game on in BC and

235
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: the Cubs and Braves on Cable. I learned to do

236
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: a lot of quick math in my mind by calculating

237
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: batting averages after each at bat or figuring out ball

238
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: and strike ratios. I transferred those skills to other sports

239
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: as well. Did you guys do similar mental math when

240
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: you were watching sports or were you just watching the game?

241
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: Does that make me weird? From Kevin? Kevin and Kansas.

242
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: So I learned geography from baseball. I learned where the

243
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: states were that had teams. I learned the minor leagues.

244
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: I knew everyone's Triple A team and what's state they

245
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: were in, and that was a lot of smaller places.

246
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: That's how you knew Ottawa was the capital of Canada. Yeah,

247
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: I knew all of Like the geography, I memorized so

248
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: much nonsense back in the day. But I recall that,

249
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: and I don't know if I should admit it. I

250
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: have talked about this in the past, but I at

251
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: the gym when I'm on my treadmill doing my workout.

252
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: Every once in a while, I'll flip on YouTube. There's

253
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: a couple of the channels that put the NBC Game

254
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: of the Week on. This past week, I was watching

255
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty five Dodgers Astros from the Astrodome Intro Guerrero. Yeah, yeah, dominating,

256
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: and it was Bob Costas and I think it was

257
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: Jim Cott. But they were calling the game and it

258
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: was the full broadcast, and they were talking about the

259
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: state of the teams at the time. The trade deadline

260
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: was coming up. There was the Dodgers needed a third baseman,

261
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: and so it was just I love like stupid stuff

262
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: like that. But Bob Costas was like those rumors the

263
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: sports writers are saying, the Dodgers are gonna get Buddy

264
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: Bell from the Rangers, and Tommy Lasorda went and visited

265
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: his buddy Bobby Valentine and Arlington before the Dodgers got

266
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: to Houston, and they ended up Do you remember who

267
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: they ended up trading for that year, Danny at the

268
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: trade deadline nineteen eighty five. Third baseman guy was prolific

269
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: in the eighties, had some off the field problem. Bill Madlock,

270
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, mad Dog big guy right, Uh yeah, pudgy,

271
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: but yeah it was a Kirby Pucket looking dude, right,

272
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: not quite to that level, but yeah, he was yet

273
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: well Kirby Pucket when he was in shape. How about that.

274
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. Though, I started covering the

275
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: Dodgers in nineteen early nineties, I'll date myself, but it

276
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: was not that long after. Bill Mallock and Madlock hadn't

277
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: played for the Dodgers for very long, but the people

278
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: he left such a mark on the Dodger people. They

279
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: freaking loved Bill Madlock. The guys would talk about Madlock

280
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: and how great he was. The two guys I recall,

281
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: and there's all ths, but the two off of my time,

282
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,719
Speaker 1: I uh that were briefly Dodgers that were beloved in

283
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: the locker room and around the people that worked for

284
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: the team. Back when the O'Malley family on the Dodgers,

285
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: it was Bill Madlock. And you remember a guy named

286
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: Juan Samuel, Yeah, Wan Samuel. Juan Samuel was beloved by

287
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: the people around the Dodgers. I don't know what he did,

288
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: but they loved the guy. And he was bounced around

289
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: and played for a bunch of a bunch of different teams.

290
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: But as far as the Math, I got carried away

291
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 1: to any bad job by mad Dog Madlock. Yeah, there

292
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: you go. But you want to answer Kevin's question, the

293
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: math and he learned because we didn't have graphics on

294
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: the screen like they do now. These kids today and

295
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 1: they're graphics. It was only occasionally when they go to

296
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: commercial or come back to commercial they'd put the score up.

297
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: Didn't even know what the damn score was. Take that

298
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: for data. Yeah, put that in your pipe. You're right.

299
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: We did keep the score Classic Lakers Boston Celtics matchup.

300
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: My older brother and I would keep the score and

301
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: we would keep saying the score out loud, and then

302
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: they would finally flash the score and we would see

303
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: if we were right. Try. Yeah, trying to try to

304
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: guess with the score. That's good. I like it. I

305
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: like it. Yeah, So definitely, Kevin, You're not weird. I

306
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: do recommend Kevin, though, and I don't want you to

318

Speaker 1: thousand dollars, four thousand, nine hundred ninety nine dollars right

324
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: now for a piece of ship that was worth three

00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. Yeah, exactly. Next up on the mailbag, Barry

326

Speaker 1: you do the one ship challenge? So I'm good on

329
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: that I've not done it. Yeah, somebody offered me some money.

330
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: I would consider that. Sounds like something Caveno and Rich

331
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: and you Danny have either done or will do. Something

332
00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: about needing to breathe correctly is big, especially like I'm

333
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: a boxer, so I've had two broken noses as a kid.

334
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: Cartilage in my nose. One of my nostrils is like

335
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: sixty percent closed. I need to breathe out of the

336
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: one good nostril. Can you imagine eating one of those

337
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: chips and you're choking, you can't breathe. That's a scary thought.

338
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: I don't need that in my life. Yeah, I'm good

339
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: on that, So you wouldn't want to use that, Joe

340
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: missoula thing? Right? Did you see the Celtic coach who's

341
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: he tapes his mouth shut? Did you see that at night? Oh?

342
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: Hell no? Oh yeah, he tapes his mouth shut. So

343
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: he says he gets better sleep because it forces you

344
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: to breathe through your That's one thing is that, man,

345
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: I can't sleep breathing through my mouth, So if people

346
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: ever call us a mouth breather, that's incorrect. I sleep

347
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: through my nose no matter what. So that's why I

348
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: freak out if my good nostril gets stuffed up. I

349
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: didn't even know this was a thing until I read

350
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: about it this week. Though. Did you realize that there

351
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: are people that buy tape to a special sleep tape

352
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: to tape your mouth shut? What are you a hostage?

353
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: I would want no part of that, Nicholas. But thank

354
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: you Berry. Good question. Nicholas from Parts Unknown rights in

355
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: on Facebook. He says, why do you keep yelling? Number one? Well,

356
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: the reason I do that, Nicholas, is to just annoy you.

357
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: I was trying to figure out how I could annoy you,

358
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: and I determined after a minute long investigation that you, Nicholas,

359
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: hearing me yell number one would really bother you. But

360
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: that is is a tribute, Danny. You know what I'm doing,

361
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 1: a tribute to two old HR radio stations. No, you

362
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: know the soccer play by play, you know the soccer

363
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: when there's a goal. Instead, I thought you meant the

364
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: number one in general, because that number one jingle we

365
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 1: got it from Big brother Jake back in the day.

366
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well we had the number one jingle. I

367
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: love jingles. I'm all about the jingles. Jingles are great.

368
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: We should have some jingles. I'm sure the company will

369
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: buy jingles for us. Ben Maller and Danny g jingles

370
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: the weakest but also the most awesome jingles in Bakersfield radio.

371
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: As I was driving up the five Freeway last weekend,

372
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: everything was a fucking jingle on their radio stations. That's

373
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: great nineteen eighties style. Yeah, easy, top of the hour news.

374
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: They even sang to introduce their news. I love it.

375
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,199
Speaker 1: I'm all about that. And jingles the way to go.

376
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: That's old school radio right there. The jingle and there's

377
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: a place in Dallas. We talked about this. There's that

378
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: guy that place in Dallas and Clayton Kershaw's father was

379
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: at Jingle. He worked at that place. He made the

380
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,959
Speaker 1: jingles and all that. Next up is ni in Wisconsin.

381
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: He says, Ben and Danny, if you were offered one

382
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: million dollars but you could only eat ballpark hot dogs

383
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: for lunch and dinner, breakfast is still okay? Would you

384
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: take the money? Of course now because you just eat

385
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: whatever you want for breakfast. You don't have to eat

386
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: breakfast food. You could eat barbecue, you could eat pizza

387
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: for breakfast whatever. No I mean on this diet he's

388
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: talking about. I'm already a winner because he just described

389
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: mainly what we ate as kids growing up. Would even

390
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: cut up hot dogs when she was rich, she would

391
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: cut hot dogs up and mix those hot dogs into

392
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: the macaronian cheese. That's when you knew you were bawling. Yeah,

393
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 1: ballpark hot dogs are hit and miss I do not.

394
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: I have an unpopular opinion. I do not enjoy the

395
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: dodge dog. I do not enjoy the dodge dog. I

396
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: do not think it's great. But I love of Finnway Franks,

397
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: the Monster Dog. And there's a listener, Phil in Massachusetts

398
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: who used to send me every year. You might remember this.

399
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: Then he'd sent a big box of Finway Franks, which

400
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: they sell in the local grocery stores in Boston. Delicious.

401
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: I grilled some up when I was living in Burbank.

402
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: They were so good. Yeah, those are good. I really

403
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: think Phil. I haven't heard from Phil in a while.

404
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 1: I hope he's all right, But yeah, those were great, man.

405
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: I love those monster dogs and the Finway Francs. That's

406
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: how you make a hot dog. Cleveland had good hot

407
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: dogs too, So if I could only eat, to answer

408
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: your question, Nick, only eat ballpark hot dogs, I get

409
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: to pick the ballparks. So I picked the Finnway Frank.

410
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: I picked the dog in Cleveland, no dodge of dogs.

411
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: I have not been to a Mets or Yankees game

412
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: in a while, so I don't know what the hot

413
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: dog situation there is, but I'm sure there's others that

414
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: I would like as well. And plus remember that hot

415
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: dog in Arizona, and they think they have one in

416
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: Texas which is like it's like five feet long, and

417
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: they put fries on it, and they put all the

418
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,479
Speaker 1: other stuff on top of it, Like that counts as

419
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: a hot dog, right, Nick? I could eat that and

420
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: then I got the fries. I got everything else on top.

421
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: But I'm technically honoring the one million dollar wager and

422
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 1: the one million dollar wager that has to be after taxes, Danny,

423
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: that cannot be before taxes. That has to be after taxes.

424
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: Do we agree on that? That's something you see on

425
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: the Food Challenges, Right, you have twenty minutes to eat

426
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: that whole giant dog with the fries and the chili

427
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: and all the other concoctions they mixed together. And that

428
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: guy looked like he was gonna freaking die at the

429
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 1: end of it. Yeah. You guy to quit the show

430
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 1: because of health problems. Allegedly he moved on did other things.

431
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: Yeah he's thin now. Mark writes in from Parts and on.

432
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: He says a question for you guys, have you ever

433
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: been late to your radio shows? Yes, I've done a

434
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: lot of radio. It's happened twice twice. I've been late once.

435
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: I overslept and that was my boss's fault. I'm blaming

436
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: him because I had a Friday night show and then

437
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: he had us coming back. We got off the air

438
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 1: at midnight and we had to be on the air

439
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: at seven in the morning. We're doing at seven to

440
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: ten on Saturday morning because the boss figured out he

441
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: could sell remotes every Saturday at home depots and lows

442
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: and hardware stores and tire stores. So the only reason

443
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: we did the Saturday show was because they sold remotes.

444
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: But the problem was we'd get off at midnight on Friday,

445
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: and then we would want to go and kind of

446
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: wind down, and by the time you get to sleep,

447
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: it's like three in the morning and you got to

448
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: be up at six, and so that didn't work out.

449
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: The other time, I got a flat tire on the

450
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: way to work and that deep sixed me. So I

451
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: was a little late, and that was at Fox Sports

452
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: Radio that one. What about you, Danny, I think that

453
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: I am like you. I can count on one hand

454
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: how many times because we're psycho about getting there on time,

455
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: and we'll set five alarms on our phone. You're not

456
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: allowed to be late to radio. Radio goes twenty four

457
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: hours a day and nobody waits for your show to start. Yeah,

458
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,760

471
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 1: It's kind of an generic question, Neil. You can do

Speaker 1: better than that, Neil. We love you. You can't close

Speaker 1: the deal, Neil. It just depends on the day, depends

474
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: on the day, the moment that you want to go

475
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: back in time. I've had some wonderful shows, individual shows.

476
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: I've often talked about. The night the Malice at the

477
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: Palace happened. I was on the air for five hours

478
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: after that. That was unbelievably fun. Sports radio met a

479
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: lot of cool people, that stand out people I never

480
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 1: thought I would you know, would would know that became

481
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: somewhat friendly with me. So legends people I looked up

482
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: to when I was a kid, So that was always cool.

483
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: But I don't know if you can whittle it down

484
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: to one one moment. Is there one moment for you, Danny?

485
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: Is it doing this podcast? Is that it? I mean,

486
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: obviously this is way up there. But as a kid,

487
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: I got to interview Digital Underground, a little known rapper

488
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: was part of their group, Tupac Shakur. Oh wow. And

489
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: so Tupac hopped on the phone and I got to

490
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: talk to him on the air for a few minutes,

491
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: which I wish I had the cassette tape of that.

492
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: Fast forward to when I was an adult in my

493
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: early twenties, I interviewed Jay Z and he told a

494
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: great story about Biggie Smalls. It all kind of came

495
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: full circle because now I'm really on an FM station

496
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: interviewing a big rapper. And then fast forward to doing

497
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: sports talk radio and it was a very very very

498
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: big deal. Congratulations to have on the President of the

499
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: United States. Yeah I remember, Oh yeah, that was Big

500
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: the Trumpster on the air, not once, but twice. We

501
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: love Big Ben, Big Ben's a friend of mine. Yeah, yeah,

502
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: I always heard those stories when we were when I

503
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: was growing up and I am being in politics a

504
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: little bit and be like, you know, the President would

505
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:01,959
Speaker 1: call whoever the Red Sox congratulate them or they didn't win.

506
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: When I was a kid that the Yankees and the

507
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: President would call up and as a standby, the President

508
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: of the United States is going to come on the phone, right,

509
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: And the President Trump didn't do that, he just did

510
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: it as well. If he didn't, he didn't have a

511
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: bunch of people call him up, right. That was the

512
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: balled on his own cell phone. And you would have

513
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: thought Brian know was on the phone talking to me

514
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: because he was. He was speaking to me as if

515
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: he knew me. And he said, well, I listened to

516
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: you guys every morning, and and it's like, I don't

517
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: know if he was just bullshitting, but that's what he

518
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: told me. So after that, I had a new appreciation

519
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: for jeez, people do listen to this crap. That is

520
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: outstanding A ten out of ten for President Trump there

521
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: calling up and he was a big radio guy. That

522
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: was a big part of his life. He does President Trump,

523
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: but loved radio. He was a regular on stern Show

524
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: before or Stern went Allwaukee and went off the deep

525
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: end and became everything he hated and all that. I mean,

526
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: he was a big part of that, that show and

585
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: think there are gonna be any huge upsets? You don't

586
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: know what the elector's gonna do. The worst caller could

587
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: go any direction, Rookie of the Year, any direction. These

588
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: are wide open categories. I don't know if that counts

589
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 1: as an upset, but if you missed the Friday podcast,

590
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: go back and download that. We went methodically, surgically through

591
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:55,959
Speaker 1: every single category, point by point information no one else

592
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: has about the bunnies. I never got to give Mike

593
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: Epton speech for my twenty twenty one Benny would be

594
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: okay if I call in and give my speech one

595
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: year late. I think you should do it on the

596
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: fifth hour. Whenever that show the fifth hours, and I

597
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: think you should do it on the fifth hour. That

598
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: would be the way to go. I hate that show.

599
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: That's a great show, so you should try listening to
