He's the last remnants 0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:12.400 of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:15.400 treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:19.439 rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearing house of 0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:23.360 hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:30.200 with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere. 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:33.440 You cannot avoid it. It is in your head, and 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:35.640 you have become a loyal minion.

No crowd noise? Did they know that? The crowd, 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:54.640 the cann crowd noise? Not ready to go? They're tired. 0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:57.520 I was called football this morning, so they took some 0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.800 plenty of time off after being a raully and rockets 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:04.160 this morning for me at six am. So that so 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:06.480 what happens man, when you're working hard on the weekends. 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:09.720 I wouldn't know about that. The we weekend Now I 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:12.760 used to work weekends. I actually liked working weekends. I 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:16.360 had fun. It's a it's a crazier crowd doing the 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:18.959 overnight show on the weekends, even though we have a 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:21.160 lot of drunks and drug addicts and all that listen 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:23.200 to the show during the week but on the weekends 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:26.320 it's like it's the non professional, like we I get 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:30.800 the professional, you know what I mean, Like the professional um, 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.160 I don't know how to describe. Um the people that 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.240 do this full time that just drink. But on the 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.320 weekends it's the weekend warriors, the weekend warrior, And so 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:42.480 that's always fun. And I have some great memories Otto 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.760 the drinking dog that used to call up and tremendous 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:48.480 people back in the day. It was just great. Wow, 0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:51.720 it's great. Uh so this now, this podcast, the mail 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.200 bag a lot of mail. You know.

It did 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:06.640 appear to help. But we get more email. Are excited 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:08.480 about that.

You know, It's it's always nice when you 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:21.079 get mail from a female listener of yours. It is 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:28.119 just amazing. I just love siphoning off all your female listeners. 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:30.040 All right, are you ready? Are you buckled up? Are 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:33.400 you ready for the mail bag?

This is email now. 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:43.480 If you want to be part of what we love. 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:45.600 This is one of our more popular podcast that we do. 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:49.480 People love to be part of it. It's great answering 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.480 your questions. It's a rip off of Ask Band from 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:53.960 the radio show, which I didn't get to do this 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.360 week because I was I was moving, and so this 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.240 is gonna make up for that. Maybe that's why we 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.400 had more questions. But it's a very simple. If you 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.040 want to send a question in via email, real fifth hour, 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:06.840 that's real F I F T H hour. If you 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:08.800 don't know how spell real, and you don't know how 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.760 spell hour, that I don't want you to send an email. 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:17.000 Hold on. That's that's dedicated towards Lee in Arizona. Right, 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.160 all right, what you just said it? So we haven't 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.520 even were like three minutes in, you've already ripped Lee. 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.080 I'm just I'm piggybacking off with you. Use a hard 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:30.600 working guys. He's got a beautiful daughter. They're working his 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:35.440 ass off anyway. All right, first email from I'm a Pilot. Oh, yes, 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.760 he's back, another one of your favorites. Yeah, he's back. 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:43.400 I'm a Pilot is back. Uh, he says, still here, 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:47.280 still listening. So refreshing to have David back. The past 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:52.800 couple of weeks was like listening to a Mozart concerto perfection. 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.040 Well that's a lie. So he's already started with a lie. 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:57.840 I'm a pilot. You started with a lie. That's a 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.480 bad job by you said he had to get kids 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:05.480 started in kindergarten. Oh that's great. I've been busy making 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:09.560 my girls do to a day tennis practices with without 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:13.160 water breaks, as that only weekends. The body and the 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:16.599 mind already working on the D one scholarship. Got kicked 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:20.960 out of the first PTO meeting. Yeah that's great, as 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.919 I demanded we keep score and only give the winner 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:27.800 a trophy. Everyone else gets a blank stare. Also, my 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:31.200 girls will answer any reporters questions, unlike that cry baby 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:36.320 loser Naomi osaka funk. I'm a good parent. Well, yeah, 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:38.679 don't let the Wolkesters know about that. I'm a pilot. 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:42.160 They'll track you down, they they they. Naomi Osaka is 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.240 a hero to the week. She has a hero to 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:47.480 the week. They love her, They love her. Oh my god, 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:51.760 she's so important. She's so important because she can't answer 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:55.880 some mean questions. Oh god, no, so I'm a pot 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.320 brought it up. What do you think the equivalent as 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:02.760 in tennis or the Oklahoma drill? Since his daughters are 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.960 doing two days, Like you need to have an Oklahoma drill, right, 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.400 Like you're gonna go heads up? What do you do? Yeah, 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:13.039 I am not. My knowledge of tennis is limited to 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:17.640 watching the major stuff. I don't know much about tennis, 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.720 Like I don't like the inner workings of like what 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:25.000 it takes to play professional tennis and all that. I 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.320 know the terms and I know the terminology from watching 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:30.360 Wimbledon or you know, the French Open or something like that. 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.760 I know all that. But yeah, by the way, can 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:35.680 you hear guest on there's a lot of heavy construction 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.800 going on. I hear it. Yeah it is, I said 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.440 in a previous podcast there is construction going on, and 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.520 now it is bleeding through the podcast studio for the 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:47.560 first time. It sounds like there's a saw. Like there's 0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:50.040 some sawing going on. Now, that's what it sounds like 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.680 to me. Well, this is perfect because we've actually probably 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.320 gone like I don't know, six months to a year 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.920 without a complaint on the audio level. Well, I think 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:03.360 it's all right. I think it's just background. Is it? 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:06.320 Is it really loud? It's it's like we had Bella, 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.880 remember Bella a couple of weeks ago, Bella when I 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.599 was telling the story about the dog, and now in 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.200 the background we have the sound of the good news 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:17.680 is I don't think they can have the saw going 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.359 that long, otherwise they'll chop the whole house down, which 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:22.640 I don't think would be there. See it stopped there, 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.680 you go, Yeah, I'm sure it'll it'll be back. But 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.159 as far as I'm a pilot, I can't help you 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:31.160 with the tennis stuff. I mean I could throw out 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.080 some some bull crap and all that, but uh, the 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:36.600 kindergarten thing, let me tell you. And I told this 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.520 Jake Warner's daughter, his youngest daughter, came over to the 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:43.720 at the halfway house, and I told us she's just 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.880 she was just starting kindergarten, and I said, let me 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:52.239 tell you something. Everything you're gonna need in life kindergarten everything, uh, 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:54.680 you know, everything else is gravy after that. And I 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.440 believe that they teach your math. They teach you know, 0:06:57.520 --> 0:06:59.400 basic math a little bit, right, They teach you the 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:00.880 you know, the alp a bet and all that. You 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:03.920 learn how to read a little bit. Kindergarten is the 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.240 most important. Everything else, you know, they add onto it. 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.600 But kindergarten, that's the way to go. Anyway. Ah, The 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.200 message continues from I'm a pilot, just been flying to 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:16.760 Tel Aviv and Tokyo. Have Germany coming up, Munich specifically 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:21.680 october Fest has been canceled there this year and no 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:26.520 ELF team in Munich, So I guess I'll be watching Netflix. 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:31.120 Speaking of have you binged on the F one Formula 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:35.960 one documentary? It's really good, similar to Hard Knocks but 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:39.440 for driving. I have not. Yeah, I have been down 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.280 on Netflix. Like my wife loves Netflix. I've been more 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:45.920 into YouTube, like I've found, which annoys my wife because 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:47.840 we don't pay for YouTube. It just to have whatever 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:52.480 we find. And I found some really good like cooking guys, pizza. 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:56.360 There's documentaries on there I've watched, not that you asked 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:59.640 I'm a pilot, but I it's on YouTube. The the 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:04.840 Australian News channel did a documentary on Luke Longley because 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:08.400 he was not included in the Last Dance and it 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:12.200 was really good and well done, well produced, just about 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:14.480 Luke Longley and being part of the Bulls teams and 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.400 all that. Michael Jordan was interviewed, Phil Jackson was interviewed 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:20.640 and it was great. So that's that's some of the 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:23.720 stuff I've been watching. He says, you were talking travel 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:27.440 last week. Might want to check passport expiration would be 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.200 a great time to renew. Boys. Israel and more specifically 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.400 Tel Aviv is awesome. The beaches are great and let's 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:37.400 just say the views are astastic alrightbout that I need 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.600 I need to go with My passport has expired, so 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:45.400 I do need to update my passport. He also says, 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.760 keep it up, boys, and remember what that great philosopher 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.760 for a time J. J. Watts said, success isn't owned, 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:56.240 it's least and rent is due every day. Now go 0:08:56.440 --> 0:09:00.000 run suicide until you puke. There you go, I'm a pilot. 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:02.520 You one of your favorites. We love I'm a Pilot. 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:06.360 I'm happy that he's a contributor on your show because 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.800 everything else is just drek. No, it's not. There's so 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.559 many talented people, some many wonderful people that right in 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:14.880 He's the lighthouse and this abyss that we call the 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.760 Mallary Militia. Well, you have some of your fan girls 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:20.400 and fan boys reach out. I know, considered effort. I'm 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:23.160 sure there were text messages exchange and emails exchange. It 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:28.040 that reminds me. Email that reminds me. I tried his 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:31.320 whiskey the other day and it was really good. Finally 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:33.240 that I got around to it, I did. I did 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:35.680 the hat that I'm a Pilot set, one of my 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:38.720 favorite hats. It's an m hat with a gray back. 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:41.240 That's a good one. It's a solid it's a solid 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.480 looking hat. It's a solid looking at Uh. Next email 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:47.800 from Tammy in Montana. There we go belly to belly. 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:52.839 She says, uh, thank the Gods with David back, the 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:56.920 fifth hour is amazing again according to Tammy, Well, okay, 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.440 I'm gonna I'm gonna let McBain know that you don't 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:04.880 like McBain Tammy a nomination for the People's Choice Podcast Award. 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.439 That's incorrect. We have not been nominated for any award. 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:11.160 Sounds like Helen and Stu like to brag about themselves. 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:15.680 Nothing impressive there. Maybe Stu needs to get his erectile 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.800 dysfunction taken care of so Helen doesn't have time to 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:22.280 stalk David online. Wow, shots fired by Tammy and Montana. 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.720 What a pathetic life they have to waste all that 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:31.120 time investigating, criticizing David and his family. I feel sorry 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:35.240 for their grandson Bentley. Apparently they would rather spend time 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:42.800 bragging and stalking someone than being Bentley's grandparents. Tammy in Montana, Tammy, 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:45.199 it's a little harsh. People have a lot of free time, 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.360 and when you're tired, I assume you have a lot 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:50.559 of free time, and you can you have a passion 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:52.960 for a podcast, you can do a little keyboard research 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.840 and do some investigating and find a few things. Now, 0:10:56.920 --> 0:11:00.000 I think she hit the mark all right. Next email, 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:04.120 uh says high been grocery shopping and I guess we 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:08.040 should tell you this is from Helen and Stuart. Coincidence 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.239 grocery shopping and heard over the store speaker, a commercial 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:14.400 for a moving company that reminded stew and I that 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.320 you relocated to the remodeled Mallard mansion two point oh 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:22.000 this week, mozelto it was the perfect Malla maneuver. Time 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:26.360 to throw out that over hyped, old, tough and now 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:30.079 freezer burned Tomahawk steak that Gascon gave you. Don't feed 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:35.960 the wolves too late. Screw that, Howell and uh, there 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:41.400 you go.

Bore us 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:05.240 about that. Bennett's all about you, the good, humble, hard working, entertaining, 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:08.640 good mensh you. Well, thank you, Helen.

She says, 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:17.640 your name is on the Fox Sports Marquee and Costco 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:22.880 executive membership card for a reason. You're that good. You're 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:26.360 that good. Uh, A suggestion and a question. Like millions 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:29.439 of your loyal listeners, we love Big Ben's lame jokes 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:33.720 of the week. Damn it. It's plural frustrating though when 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.400 you and Coope seem to have some great jokes that 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:38.880 you can read over the you can't read over the 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.760 terrestrial airways, which is true. Stu and I have the solution. 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:45.320 On either Saturday or Sunday's Fifth Hour podcast launch a 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:49.120 new segment called Lame Jokes on Centered, a safe harbor 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.360 where you can tell those raw, funny and socially woke 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:57.160 jokes from the week before or from your vast email folder. 0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:00.120 But wait, there's more. See she did that because that's 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:02.840 a great line from informercials. Uh, tease us, please us. 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:07.719 Seems like you can tease the X rated jokes on 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:10.280 the Irregular Show and drive shrafting to the Fifth Hour. 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:14.640 Please us by telling those well crafted but inappropriate jokes. 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:20.880 We love your welcome. There you go, and uh, of 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:24.720 course there's another question. Did you throw the tomahawks steak 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:26.920 to the wolves or did you give it to Bella 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:31.880 as a housewarming gift? And Helen and Stu you'll be 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.280 happy to know. And I think I screwed this up 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.360 because I was supposed to read that at the beginning. Anyway, 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:41.240 Helen and Stu I I have the Tomahawks steak has 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:45.640 now been in it's in its third different freezer. It's 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.400 in its third different freezer. Uh, and it is still 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:52.840 doing well. It is still there. It hasn't got frost 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:56.760 on it. And when the time is right, we will 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:59.920 we will cook that up. We will cook the Tomahawks steak. 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.560 You should give it to the coyotes. That bit Bella. Yeah, 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:07.120 well I saw the coyote. Yes, we were driving back. 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.559 I was driving back late and there's a little at 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:12.800 the halfway house. There was like a little kind of 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:16.959 hill behind the house that the place of the townhouse. 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.320 I was limited, and we were driving back and the 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:23.280 coyote was sitting on top of the hill. We think 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:24.600 that's you know, I don't know, it might be a 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:26.360 different coyote, but I would think that would be the 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:28.520 same one because there's a good eating there. And then 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:32.400 kind of was like, hey, that's dinner time, So all right, 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.120 Queen rocks. And right, since it's Ben and David, David 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:38.760 mentioned something about the upcoming football season and hopefully Benny 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:42.440 versus the Penny will be returning. Question Mark, as I 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:44.920 always listen to your picks and really have to take 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:48.960 into consideration your curse. Also tell the Silver Sneaker club 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:53.080 couple in Florida stop being stockers. It's very odd sign 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:56.040 Queen rox Well, we have nothing to announced about Beny 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:58.800 versus the Penny Football season begins in less than a month, 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:04.160 the NFL season begins, and we are efforting. Is that 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:07.040 we're supposed to efforting? Yeah? We hope to have on 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:10.440 the runway, how about that? Yeah, But keep in mind 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:15.720 that being in talks with people having conversations does not 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:19.120 correlate often to a deal. It's like dating these days. 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:23.560 I have been close to so many amazing jobs in 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.600 broadcasting where I have been deep in the weeds and 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:31.120 negotiations and nothing has ended up happening. So I am 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:33.640 I'm not even gonna go into details on on where 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:35.800 we are talking, who we are talking to, but we've 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:39.000 had a few meetings over the last couple of months 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:42.000 with some very powerful people that deal with lots of 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:46.520 money and lots of uh, lots of what's the word, 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:48.400 I'm a venture capital? I don't know, I don't want 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:50.680 a word. They have a lot of expendable money to 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:55.120 throw out and we're hoping to find something that you 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:58.200 get the email I sent you from Ohio All. Did 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:00.400 you get that? Oh my gosh it it I need 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:02.880 to I need to cue that up. That reminds yeah, yeah, 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.440 get that ready to go because this is ohio Al's email, 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:07.840 and we should have played this at the beginning. But 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:09.360 we can put this in the system and then we 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:13.440 can play this going forward, hopefully if we have the 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:17.280 logistical ability to do that. But this is from Ohio 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:20.200 how very talented musician. You heard him, one of the stars, 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:23.160 one of the rock stars literally in the Talent show. 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:26.240 It's blew it away. We love Ohio a very talented guy. 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.280 So happy that he's a fan and a consumer of 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:32.600 our audio content. Anyway, ohio Al says, I hope your 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:35.800 move into the permanent Mallard mansion is going well. He says, 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.200 I would have paid for movers to do the heavy lifting. 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:41.080 But I'm older and lazier than you. I guess well, 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:42.960 it's listen. I don't know how old you are, Al, 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.160 and you're probably a little older than I am. I 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:49.640 don't know that you're lazier than I am, but you're 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:53.160 probably not as frugal as I am. And I think 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:56.920 the financial component of this is a big gut of it. 0:16:57.240 --> 0:16:59.760 And uh that's I hear. I heard the music that 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:02.560 this to this next part of the email. Ohio Al says, 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:05.360 I I heard you, guys mention on the Fifth Hour 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:08.040 podcast last week that you would consider having some kind 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:11.560 of opening jingle for your mail bag segments. So I 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:14.399 whipped up this little ditty for you. I hope you 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.959 like good luck. I hate moving, Ohio All, and so 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:21.840 do we have that ready to go? Here? All right, 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:25.760 this is from Ohio All. And you ask your request 0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:28.080 and it will arrive. Build it and you know they 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:30.440 will they will come or he will come. Uh. Here 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:33.640 is Ohio All at his version of a mail bag 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:54.680 jingle opening e God, the question things God, the son's 0:17:54.800 --> 0:18:04.800 mail bag. Yeah, I get short. It wasn't long. We 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:06.600 don't need it long. We want to quick, you know, 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:09.080 move on. The show keeps moving, train keeps moving down 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:12.960 the tracks. We don't look back. Thank you, Ohio And 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:15.800 as far as I'm concerned, that's gonna become a regular 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:18.480 assuming you can work that out logistically. Guess that's good. 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:20.639 At the beginning of the mail bag that will be 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:22.440 like the you know, we start out the mail bag. 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:25.359 I'm bullshitting and then we go into the mail bag, 0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:27.320 and then the point we go into the mailbag, hit 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:29.919 it and then it's Ohio Awa, it's perfect and and 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:31.960 it'll be perfect and we'll play it every week. And 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:35.200 you know who's who doesn't like that? That's that's perfect. 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:39.400 It's it's wonderful. That will become a um, a continuous 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:42.119 part of the show for as long as I I 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:45.040 can imagine, you know, constant. The mailbag is not going anywhere. 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:48.960 So thank you very good. Uh and I hopefully I 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:52.080 didn't take it that long. But it's great to listen 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:54.880 in on your work, to eaves drop in on Ohio 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:57.399 All's work. All right? Next up? Next up, Ben, huge 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:00.479 fan from Boston. My name is Mike and I've been 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:05.240 listening to you since Mazeltope. Thank you. That's sixteen years. Wow. 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:08.360 Any chance you could fill me in on the latest 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:13.360 update about half point and Brian, thanks for many Uh. Well, 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:15.400 it's really a whole lot of nothing. There's a whole 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:17.399 lot of nothing so half Point, as you know, I 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:21.119 assume you know, she was very active caller to the show, 0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:24.040 and the last call that she made was in the 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:27.080 middle of the night in the burbs out in Missouri 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:32.120 and she was playing the drums. She was getting ready 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:33.800 for the talent show. She's gonna do a duet with 0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:37.200 beer drinking Bryan. And then she got a few hours later, 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:40.960 she got picked up on a parole violation and she 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:44.400 has been This is back in July and she has 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:48.520 been in jail for over a month. She's had a 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:53.080 couple of court dates. It has been pushed back, uh, 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:56.879 and she will be in jail for I think another month. 0:19:56.960 --> 0:20:00.600 The next court date is in September. Oh, I believe 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:03.240 it's after right around the start of the football season 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:06.520 in the NFL regular season. So yeah, she's she's in 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:09.520 jail and she's waiting word of whether or not they 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:13.560 will send her to a rehab facility or they will 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:16.399 send her to jail for five years. Now. We're hoping 0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:19.200 that they sent her to a rehab because she's already 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:20.760 been in jail for a couple of months. And say, well, 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:22.200 you went back to jail for a couple of months, 0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:26.520 now you're you're sober. Now go to rehab. And not 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:29.440 that I think it's gonna work, But to me, half 0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:32.240 point is not a threat to society. But I don't 0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:33.920 know half pint. Maybe she is. I don't know. She 0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:38.240 seems pretty harmless. Not to herself. She's harm She's harmful 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:41.440 to herself, but I don't know that she's harming other people. 0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:45.440 That's what I'm trying to say. That's the last. Jennifer 0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:49.840 from Richmond, Virginia rights in Our Friend Jennifer. She says, Higen, 0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:53.439 if you could travel back in time only once too, 0:20:53.480 --> 0:20:57.480 before you were thirty, what's one or two things you 0:20:57.480 --> 0:21:00.000 would tell yourself about your own life, either good or 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:04.399 were bad, to look forward to, to prepare for. And 0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:07.000 do you think you would believe yourself? Well, first of all, 0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:09.120 I don't think I would believe myself. I'm very cynical, 0:21:09.560 --> 0:21:11.480 so I don't think I would believe myself. I think, well, 0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:13.240 this is bullshit, this is just some kind of dream, 0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:15.800 this is not real. But the main thing, I was 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:19.119 very paranoid when I first got into radio that it 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:22.240 wasn't gonna work, that it wouldn't I wouldn't get to 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:24.600 the point I'm at now, and I really wanted to 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:27.680 get there. And I I spent a lot of time 0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:29.760 doing weekends. I spent a lot of time as a reporter. 0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:33.760 I started out as a board op. I worked all 0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:37.040 kinds of jobs at the radio station, and it seemed 0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:42.359 like a It was like climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to think 0:21:42.520 --> 0:21:45.520 about getting to the top. Not that I'm at the top, 0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:47.280 I'm not. I'm an overnight guy, but to get even 0:21:47.280 --> 0:21:50.760 where I am. Um, I just thought I might not 0:21:50.800 --> 0:21:52.920 could make it. I didn't really have a backup plan 0:21:53.000 --> 0:21:55.280 other than like working at Costco, and not that that's 0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:58.160 a bad job, but I didn't. I just fully invested myself. 0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:00.240 So just just say it's gonna be okay, it'll work out, 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:02.160 You'll be fine. Why don't you ever tell me this 0:22:03.040 --> 0:22:09.120 because it won't be fine for you know? Um? Yeah. 0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:12.359 And also, and I've told you this to enjoy the journey, 0:22:12.359 --> 0:22:14.080 you know, it's it's about the stories you pick up 0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:16.320 along the way and embrace more of that. And I've 0:22:16.320 --> 0:22:19.320 tried to do that as I've gotten older. And also 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:22.080 the obvious thing. You know, when you're young, you don't 0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:24.919 think anyone's gonna die, and you think everyone will live forever. 0:22:25.200 --> 0:22:26.760 And then you know, I've been to a lot of 0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:29.240 funerals as i've aged, and I lost both my parents 0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:31.800 and all that, and it's you know, it's just to 0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:34.399
