WEBVTT - The Fifth Hour: "Tape Your Mouth Shut" Mail Bag 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:04.960 Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred 0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:08.559 minutes a week was enough, think again. He's the last 0:00:08.680 --> 0:00:12.200 remnants of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. 0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:15.360 He treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as 0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:19.440 the rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow. The Clearinghouse 0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:23.160 of Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:32.120 Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the a Everywhere. 0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:35.840 The Fifth Hour with Ben Mallor and Danny G Radio 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:39.320 back at it in the podcast Dojo on a Sunday, 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:43.479 and that means one thing and one thing only. It 0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:47.839 is time to plump up Danny G. Because we are 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:54.959 about to jump head first into a colossal Bafo sako 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:59.800 addition of the mailbag, and that means, ohio A, let's 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:16.600 at ome. It's all right, thank you for that, ohio. 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:19.959 All these are actual questions sent in by actual listeners. 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:21.759 I would like to put out we did not get 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:25.839 the backscratcher yesterday. We ran out of time. It's okay 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:29.880 because nobody scratched our back, Danny. Not a single person 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:34.440 scratched our back. Bad job by you. But there's another opportunity. 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:36.720 This week, And if you want to help us out, 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:41.360 the podcast page is available, the Apple podcast page, and 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.440 you can write a nice review. We got shut out 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.080 this week. We had a bunch last week. We had 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.960 like four or five last week. This week none. I 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.680 wouldn't really call it a shutout. I would call it 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:55.760 you being a really bad teacher giving out too much homework. No, 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.480 people are busy voting right now for the biggest award 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.880 show this season, and that is tonight. And if you 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:07.640 missed the Friday podcast, go back. It is your partner, 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:11.760 it is your assistant, it is your comrade to walk 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:17.239 you through batch, your significant other to the twenty twenty 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.440 three Bennies which are going to kick off tonight, all 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:23.320 the awards given out, all the honors. What an amazing night, 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.679 the greatest night of overnight talk radio and sports that 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.720 we have. But so no backscratcher. But let's get to 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:32.320 the mailbag. We played Ohio, how so we must get 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:35.760 to the actual questions by actual listeners. Let's get to it. 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:40.240 The first one, it's from Fred in Spring, Texas. He says, hey, Ben, 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:43.200 and Danigee. He says, Ben, can you share some of 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:47.480 your experiences on New Zealand radio. Did you ever visit 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:52.760 New Zealand? Did you ever master knowledge of cricket or rugby? 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:57.359 Says Fred So. First of all, I've never been to 0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.440 New Zealand. I would love to go to New Zealand. 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:05.200 I was a correspondent. I was the American correspondent on 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:09.760 the They had a bunch of international correspondents raio. It 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:15.480 was called Radio Sport in New Zealand, and I loved it. 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:20.080 It was great, it was wonderful and all that. Unfortunately, 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:23.640 when COVID came around, that's it. They did not make 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.560 it through COVID. They were casualty. The entire network went 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:30.000 out of business during COVID. The reason, the real reason 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:31.560 they went out of business is it cost a lot 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:35.080 of money and the company that owned Radio Sport no 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:38.240 longer wanted to spend the amount of money that it takes, 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.320 and so they pulled the plug. They said that's it. 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.200 You know, we're done, And so I lost the gig. 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:48.440 But I had become good friends with Darcy Waldergrave, who 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:52.760 was doing the afternoon show and now does but he does. 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.360 He did a morning show. Now he's on the news 0:03:55.480 --> 0:04:01.200 talk station. And the comparison on that would be like 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.720 in Los Angeles you have KFI. In New York you 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.720 have WINS. I don't know if WINS is the right 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.360 example because WINS is just a hard news station. It's 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.720 more of a news talk But anyway, Darcy does a 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.520 show on the weekends which is the number one show 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:21.240 in New Zealand. It's a morning breakfast show. And I 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:23.120 still go on with him every once in a while, 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.719 but it's no longer a paying gig. I was getting 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.919 paid to appear on radio sport. I would love to 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:33.360 go to New Zealand. I have learned that my appearances 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:39.640 can be preempted by cricket. Cricket goes on forever and 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:43.320 ever and ever and ever. And I've learned some fun 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.920 facts about people in New Zealand that I didn't know about. 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.160 Like a lot of people go on vacation or as 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:55.119 they call it, holiday to Indonesia. That's a popular spot 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.160 in a few other countries which are obviously not that 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:00.520 far away, and New Zealand's not close to anything. But 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.800 I did also learn that New Zealand and Australia are 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.599 not all that close. It's a it's a big flight 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:08.599 to go for it. Seems on the map, Danny, that 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:13.480 they're right next, but not quite. So it's no surprise 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.800 that they went out of business because here they were 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:19.000 paying big celebrities like you to come on as a guest. Hey, 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:22.599 let me tell you something, all right, we have we 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.359 have listeners to this day because of that. On the 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:29.040 overnight people listen. We're actually on in New Zealand as well, 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:33.240 which doesn't hurt Marcus in San Antonio writes, and he says, hello, 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:38.039 Uncle Ben and Daddy, Gee Daddy, and a happy daylight 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:41.120 savings time to both of you. Growing up as a 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:45.160 military brat, my childhood was mostly spent overseas in Europe. 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.039 Once we returned to the States, we landed in a 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:51.760 suburb just outside of Kansas City. This was in the 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:55.279 nineteen eighties and the Royals were at the top of 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.479 their game. They won the World Series in nineteen eighty five, 0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:00.440 and it was a great season. Upon returning, or upon 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:04.240 entering rather, the sixth grade, Marcus writes, Upon entering the 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:08.240 sixth grade, one of my classmates was the son of 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:13.640 fledgling middle reliever, a guy named Dennis Leonard, and the 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:17.440 son was a bit on the arrogant side. To say 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:22.920 the least. His dad wasn't a major part of the Royals, 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:26.040 but when the Royals lost a game, everyone would give 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:30.520 him a hard time. Marcus says. My question for you 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.680 guys is have either of you or your family members 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.880 ever had to deal with taking crap from someone because 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:40.680 of something said on the radio or social media by 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:46.280 either of you? Marcus says, in today's climate of oversensitive 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.880 people and those who are seeking out any way to 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:53.320 be offended, I was curious of your experiences. Thanks again 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:57.360 for your time, and I will be voting for the Bennis, 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:02.119 he says during his can'tnot wait to hear the winners. 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:06.280 That's from Marcus in San Antonio. So I don't want 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.120 to speak for you, Danny, but my experience is my 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.600 wife does not really listen that much, so she's kind 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.280 of out of a loop. And she doesn't really do 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:16.120 social media anymore. She stopped at because she heard of 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.840 some podcast not to do social media, so she stopped 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:24.640 doing social media. So she's really oblivious to what's going on. 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:26.200 I guess I don't know if that's the right way 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:30.520 to phrase it, but she's she's not She didn't have 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.200 to worry about this stuff because she's not dealing with it. 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:38.960 What about you, Danny? Yeah, same, my dad facebooks. My 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.280 girl stays off of Twitter and stuff like that. She 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:47.960 loves Instagram reels. She likes seeing funny videos. That's pretty 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.920 much why she has Instagram on her phone, and I 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.280 can relate to that. That's the same reason I use 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:57.480 Instagram as far as like arguing with people are saying 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:00.520 something that gets the family and the weeds. No, my 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.640 older brother is on Twitter, but he's very much a 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:07.840 Magic Johnson tweeter. He'll tweet stuff like I wish I 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:13.120 could see this Lakers team all season, so there's nothing 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:18.880 controversial going on that's funny. Yeah, my dad used to 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.960 listen to everything, well, my mom listening to. My dad 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.080 would listen when I was convenient for him, which was 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.760 when I did the Boston stuff when I was on EI, 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:30.840 and he would listen, and sometimes every once in a 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.400 while somebody would track him down a listener, and my 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.320 dad didn't really know how to deal with that, like, 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.160 what are they talking about? I don't understand. I was like, hey, 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.720 you know, it's a phenomenon, right, because if you first 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:44.839 start doing this, then everyone around you wants to tune in. 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.959 When you've been doing this for a long time, no 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.480 one arounds you really gives a shit. Yeah, no, they 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.480 don't give a crap, Like, yeah, he's he's been doing 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:56.800 that for twenty years. I'm yeah, yeah, good deal. Yeah. 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.960 When you start, it's everyone listens, They comment on your 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.040 your takes, what you're saying. Yeah, they got an opinion, 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:05.040 they want to they're proud of you. And then after 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.040 a while, so I got you know, it's like it's 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.480 just like driving a bus, you know, it's like we're 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:12.600 driving a bus around town. Next up on the mailback, 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.959 Mike from Fullerton Rights and says, I'm a big fan 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.680 of the Benny Awards, as big a fan as anyone, 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.920 But do you find it worrying how full of themselves 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:26.800 the winners become after winning Best Crew Filling last year? 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.760 Danny g has never been the same? Oh me? Is 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:31.400 that true to any Have you not been the same 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:35.240 since you won Best Crew Filling? Well, clearly it catapulted 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:38.240 me to the Cavino and Rich Show, and so I 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:41.360 do a victory lap every single afternoon on the network. 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:43.560 Well that was what put it over the top. Don 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.200 Martin was just trying to decide what should I do here? What? 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:50.160 Wait a minute, crew filling of the year, look me in, coach, 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:54.760 I'm ready to play. My man, you just turned into 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:57.640 a radio legend. My man, oh man, I'm gonna make 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:02.080 you famous moment. He also said, Mike, congrats on me, 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.160 Ben finally becoming an Instagram model. I knew it was 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.920 only a matter of time before you were discovered. Well, 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:11.200 thank you, thank you, Mike, and I believe he's referencing 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:15.040 to last week's podcast when I finally was sent an 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:21.559 offer to be an influencer for really ugly women's sunglasses. 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:24.600 Those orange frames look good on you right now though, 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.800 thank you. I took a dozen. I figured they were offering, 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.719 so why not. You can't turn down an offer like that. 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:36.679 Next up from Kay Ringing in okac He says, hey, guys, 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.880 how's it going? Right to the question on the mail bag? 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:43.840 What are some of your biggest bets that you won? 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.520 What are the biggest bets that you have also lost? 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:49.800 Says I know, Ben Gambles, what about you, daddy? Gee 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.760 ha ha ha. I know people get worked up over 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:57.960 betting good or bad. I bet it would be awesome content, 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:03.000 especially when and gets mad it's hilarious. It's not Radio 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:07.160 Gold Kyrie. Somebody wants to hear me angry. They want 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.120 to hear me happy. They want to hear me flexing 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:12.080 and doing a victory laub. So I will not even 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:15.360 share the wins because the wins. Any real gambler who 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:20.800 shares wins is full of shit. The gambler remembers the losses, 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:24.760 not the wins. And I've had some all time losses. 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:29.400 I lost my ass on the Music City Miracle, which 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.439 you probably might not remember if you're of a certain age, 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.480 if you're young. But this was the Tennessee Titans wild 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:40.040 card weekend against the Buffalo Bills. Doug Flutie, Brad Johnson, 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:43.720 Wade Phillips, that era of the Buffalo Bills against the 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:48.880 Tennessee Titans, and Buffalo was in position to pull the 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:53.040 upset on the what turned out to me the fateful 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:56.960 final play. It was called the Music City Miracle. It 0:11:57.040 --> 0:12:00.480 was an illegal forward pass from Franky. I checked to 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.320 Kevin Dyson. I still I could still close my eyes 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:05.400 Danny and see the play was a total bullshit call. 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:08.440 The ball went forward. That's an illegal forward pass because 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:11.200 they had already lateraled the officials didn't have the balls 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:14.840 to call it, and next thing you know, Tennessee went 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.800 on that play, they scored, They scored the touchdown. I 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:21.240 lose my bet. Freaking nightmare. I'm still pissed about it 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.200 all these years later. And then the other one, the 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:27.280 other one I remember really bad. I was convinced the 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:29.920 Atlanta Braves were going to beat the Saint Louis Cardinals 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:33.640 in a playoff series. And this is when the Braves 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:38.320 had Maddox, Clavin and Smoltz, three bona fide Hall of Fames. 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:43.120 The Cardinals didn't have much at all, and they had 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.480 traded for a guy from I think he had been 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:47.360 on the Giants, but he might have been on somebody 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:52.280 after the Giants, Will Clark, Will the thrill Clark. Oh god, 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:56.439 he had that ugly batting stance. Yeah, and this Jabroni 0:12:57.679 --> 0:12:59.960 who had seemingly been washed up, so he might have 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.360 come from like the Texas Rangers or the Orioles or 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.560 something like that. But this guy Will Clark had a 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.520 couple of big hits, as I remember, and the Cardinals, 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:12.120 all these punch and judy hitters were getting hits standard 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:17.079 Cardinal baseball, killing me and I lost that bet, and 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:23.080 I still in retrospect, I still can't believe that a 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:27.560 team with Maddox, Glavin and Smoltz, bunch of Hall of 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:32.120 Fame position players also and they lost to a second 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:35.520 rate Cardinal team blows me away. I bet on the series. 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:37.600 It wasn't one game. I bet on the entire series. 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.880 So you're not much of a gambler, right, You save 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:45.600 your money, Daddy G. I'm a sports purist. I love sports. 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:49.040 I do not like losing my hard earned money on 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:53.600 said sports. You don't lose your win We're winners. I 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:57.600 want winners. Yeah, I've seen you at four in the 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.480 morning at the twenty four hour Diner in Vegas with 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:04.800 your last eight dollars. Hey, but those those eggs over 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:09.040 easy are not beat the Pancakes and not be Kevin 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.000 and Kansas rights in on the mail bag, he says, 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.880 Dear Ben and Danny G. Radio. When I was growing up, 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:19.120 I watched the weekly baseball game on in BC and 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:22.160 the Cubs and Braves on Cable. I learned to do 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:25.480 a lot of quick math in my mind by calculating 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:29.880 batting averages after each at bat or figuring out ball 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:33.600 and strike ratios. I transferred those skills to other sports 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:37.560 as well. Did you guys do similar mental math when 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:40.560 you were watching sports or were you just watching the game? 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:46.280 Does that make me weird? From Kevin? Kevin and Kansas. 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:51.920 So I learned geography from baseball. I learned where the 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:56.560 states were that had teams. I learned the minor leagues. 0:14:57.120 --> 0:15:00.520 I knew everyone's Triple A team and what's state they 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:02.560 were in, and that was a lot of smaller places. 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:07.640 That's how you knew Ottawa was the capital of Canada. Yeah, 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:14.280 I knew all of Like the geography, I memorized so 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:18.240 much nonsense back in the day. But I recall that, 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:20.880 and I don't know if I should admit it. I 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:22.680 have talked about this in the past, but I at 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:25.080 the gym when I'm on my treadmill doing my workout. 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.520 Every once in a while, I'll flip on YouTube. There's 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.120 a couple of the channels that put the NBC Game 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:34.640 of the Week on. This past week, I was watching 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:44.880 nineteen eighty five Dodgers Astros from the Astrodome Intro Guerrero. Yeah, yeah, dominating, 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:50.280 and it was Bob Costas and I think it was 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.680 Jim Cott. But they were calling the game and it 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.840 was the full broadcast, and they were talking about the 0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:59.680 state of the teams at the time. The trade deadline 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:03.560 was coming up. There was the Dodgers needed a third baseman, 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:07.240 and so it was just I love like stupid stuff 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.400 like that. But Bob Costas was like those rumors the 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:12.800 sports writers are saying, the Dodgers are gonna get Buddy 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:16.240 Bell from the Rangers, and Tommy Lasorda went and visited 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:19.280 his buddy Bobby Valentine and Arlington before the Dodgers got 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:22.280 to Houston, and they ended up Do you remember who 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.120 they ended up trading for that year, Danny at the 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:27.720 trade deadline nineteen eighty five. Third baseman guy was prolific 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:31.320 in the eighties, had some off the field problem. Bill Madlock, 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:39.680 Oh that's right, mad Dog big guy right, Uh yeah, pudgy, 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:42.600 but yeah it was a Kirby Pucket looking dude, right, 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:45.640 not quite to that level, but yeah, he was yet 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:48.960 well Kirby Pucket when he was in shape. How about that. 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:50.960 Let me tell you something. Though, I started covering the 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:55.320 Dodgers in nineteen early nineties, I'll date myself, but it 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.200 was not that long after. Bill Mallock and Madlock hadn't 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:00.800 played for the Dodgers for very long, but the people 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:03.480 he left such a mark on the Dodger people. They 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:07.320 freaking loved Bill Madlock. The guys would talk about Madlock 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:10.119 and how great he was. The two guys I recall, 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:11.840 and there's all ths, but the two off of my time, 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:15.719 I uh that were briefly Dodgers that were beloved in 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:18.080 the locker room and around the people that worked for 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.480 the team. Back when the O'Malley family on the Dodgers, 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:23.440 it was Bill Madlock. And you remember a guy named 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:31.560 Juan Samuel, Yeah, Wan Samuel. Juan Samuel was beloved by 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:34.520 the people around the Dodgers. I don't know what he did, 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:37.639 but they loved the guy. And he was bounced around 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:39.960 and played for a bunch of a bunch of different teams. 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:41.400 But as far as the Math, I got carried away 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:44.880 to any bad job by mad Dog Madlock. Yeah, there 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:48.080 you go. But you want to answer Kevin's question, the 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:51.639 math and he learned because we didn't have graphics on 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:53.600 the screen like they do now. These kids today and 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:56.679 they're graphics. It was only occasionally when they go to 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.040 commercial or come back to commercial they'd put the score up. 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:01.679 Didn't even know what the damn score was. Take that 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:05.280 for data. Yeah, put that in your pipe. You're right. 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:10.560 We did keep the score Classic Lakers Boston Celtics matchup. 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:13.000 My older brother and I would keep the score and 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:16.520 we would keep saying the score out loud, and then 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:19.560 they would finally flash the score and we would see 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:22.680 if we were right. Try. Yeah, trying to try to 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:25.760 guess with the score. That's good. I like it. I 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:28.960 like it. Yeah, So definitely, Kevin, You're not weird. I 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:30.840 do recommend Kevin, though, and I don't want you to 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:33.119 stop listening to the podcast. But in addition, as a 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:37.080 companion for you, if you go on YouTube, you can 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:41.679 find links to old baseball games, just random like type 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:46.840 in certain like Monday Night Baseball or NBC Game of 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:49.520 the Week, and these things will pop up. And some 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:52.120 of them even have the commercials. So if you want 0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:55.480 to go full nostalgia and you can go back and 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:57.800 watch some of those old commercials. The car commercials just 0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:02.159 kill me. Yeah, please the sea Cow well that, but 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:05.640 they the national commercials. Most of the cars don't even 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:08.000 exist anymore, and you look at them and they're total 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:10.760 pieces of shit compared to the cars today, right, you know, 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.240 Like I mean, this was a brand new car that 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:16.399 was it's all excited to have, and you're like, man, 0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:20.120 that that's a total Jalopy. What was a sticker price? 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:22.520 Six thousand dollars? Oh? Yeah, total, it was like five 0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:25.480 thousand dollars, four thousand, nine hundred ninety nine dollars right 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:28.520 now for a piece of ship that was worth three 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:33.040 hundred dollars. Yeah, exactly. Next up on the mailbag, Barry 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:36.919 in Nashville, says Yo Yo Yo yo yo mob Benny 0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:40.840 and Danny Gee, have either of you done or would 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:46.199 you do the one ship challenge? So I'm good on 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:49.280 that I've not done it. Yeah, somebody offered me some money. 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:51.840 I would consider that. Sounds like something Caveno and Rich 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:55.840 and you Danny have either done or will do. Something 0:19:55.880 --> 0:20:01.920 about needing to breathe correctly is big, especially like I'm 0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:05.520 a boxer, so I've had two broken noses as a kid. 0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:09.320 Cartilage in my nose. One of my nostrils is like 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:12.600 sixty percent closed. I need to breathe out of the 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:15.960 one good nostril. Can you imagine eating one of those 0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:20.480 chips and you're choking, you can't breathe. That's a scary thought. 0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:23.800 I don't need that in my life. Yeah, I'm good 0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:25.920 on that, So you wouldn't want to use that, Joe 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:28.480 missoula thing? Right? Did you see the Celtic coach who's 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:31.520 he tapes his mouth shut? Did you see that at night? Oh? 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:35.080 Hell no? Oh yeah, he tapes his mouth shut. So 0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:37.639 he says he gets better sleep because it forces you 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:40.800 to breathe through your That's one thing is that, man, 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:44.240 I can't sleep breathing through my mouth, So if people 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:49.919 ever call us a mouth breather, that's incorrect. I sleep 0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:52.760 through my nose no matter what. So that's why I 0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:56.879 freak out if my good nostril gets stuffed up. I 0:20:56.920 --> 0:20:58.760 didn't even know this was a thing until I read 0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:00.600 about it this week. Though. Did you realize that there 0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:03.680 are people that buy tape to a special sleep tape 0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:08.280 to tape your mouth shut? What are you a hostage? 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:13.000 I would want no part of that, Nicholas. But thank 0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:16.720 you Berry. Good question. Nicholas from Parts Unknown rights in 0:21:16.800 --> 0:21:25.960 on Facebook. He says, why do you keep yelling? Number one? Well, 0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:29.520 the reason I do that, Nicholas, is to just annoy you. 0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:33.000 I was trying to figure out how I could annoy you, 0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:40.200 and I determined after a minute long investigation that you, Nicholas, 0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:44.840 hearing me yell number one would really bother you. But 0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:46.880 that is is a tribute, Danny. You know what I'm doing, 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:52.679 a tribute to two old HR radio stations. No, you 0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:54.720 know the soccer play by play, you know the soccer 0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:58.159 when there's a goal. Instead, I thought you meant the 0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:02.000 number one in general, because that number one jingle we 0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:04.120 got it from Big brother Jake back in the day. 0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:06.880 Oh yeah, well we had the number one jingle. I 0:22:06.960 --> 0:22:10.960 love jingles. I'm all about the jingles. Jingles are great. 0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:13.320 We should have some jingles. I'm sure the company will 0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:17.359 buy jingles for us. Ben Maller and Danny g jingles 0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:22.520 the weakest but also the most awesome jingles in Bakersfield radio. 0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:25.800 As I was driving up the five Freeway last weekend, 0:22:26.640 --> 0:22:29.840 everything was a fucking jingle on their radio stations. That's 0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:36.720 great nineteen eighties style. Yeah, easy, top of the hour news. 0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:40.240 They even sang to introduce their news. I love it. 0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:43.199 I'm all about that. And jingles the way to go. 0:22:43.320 --> 0:22:47.000 That's old school radio right there. The jingle and there's 0:22:47.080 --> 0:22:49.119 a place in Dallas. We talked about this. There's that 0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:53.919 guy that place in Dallas and Clayton Kershaw's father was 0:22:53.960 --> 0:22:57.200 at Jingle. He worked at that place. He made the 0:22:57.280 --> 0:23:00.959 jingles and all that. Next up is ni in Wisconsin. 0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:04.359 He says, Ben and Danny, if you were offered one 0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:09.760 million dollars but you could only eat ballpark hot dogs 0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:14.359 for lunch and dinner, breakfast is still okay? Would you 0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:20.520 take the money? Of course now because you just eat 0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:22.320 whatever you want for breakfast. You don't have to eat 0:23:22.320 --> 0:23:25.120 breakfast food. You could eat barbecue, you could eat pizza 0:23:25.160 --> 0:23:29.840 for breakfast whatever. No I mean on this diet he's 0:23:29.880 --> 0:23:33.800 talking about. I'm already a winner because he just described 0:23:34.359 --> 0:23:38.480 mainly what we ate as kids growing up. Would even 0:23:38.600 --> 0:23:41.960 cut up hot dogs when she was rich, she would 0:23:41.960 --> 0:23:45.200 cut hot dogs up and mix those hot dogs into 0:23:45.240 --> 0:23:51.159 the macaronian cheese. That's when you knew you were bawling. Yeah, 0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:54.159 ballpark hot dogs are hit and miss I do not. 0:23:54.400 --> 0:23:57.000 I have an unpopular opinion. I do not enjoy the 0:23:57.080 --> 0:24:00.159 dodge dog. I do not enjoy the dodge dog. I 0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:04.120 do not think it's great. But I love of Finnway Franks, 0:24:04.160 --> 0:24:09.440 the Monster Dog. And there's a listener, Phil in Massachusetts 0:24:09.480 --> 0:24:13.760 who used to send me every year. You might remember this. 0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:16.800 Then he'd sent a big box of Finway Franks, which 0:24:16.840 --> 0:24:21.280 they sell in the local grocery stores in Boston. Delicious. 0:24:21.320 --> 0:24:24.000
