Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, dred minutes
Speaker 1: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House of
Speaker 1: hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
Speaker 1: with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere
Speaker 1: as we are back at it on a Sunday Sunday
Speaker 1: edition of the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny
Speaker 1: G to provide you with all of your male bag needs. Danny,
Speaker 1: as we gave the Mallard travelogue on Saturday, and you
Speaker 1: told an amazing story about the beauty of children, the
Speaker 1: innocence of children, and how you don't mess with their
Speaker 1: string cheese. Yeah, and you told an amazing story about
Speaker 1: how you should not parlay UFC bets no, no round
Speaker 1: robin parlay. And I felt like such a schmack. I said,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? That's a plump pussy right there.
Speaker 1: But anyway you can hear that on the Saturday podcast.
Speaker 1: We got a lot of mail. We have limited time,
Speaker 1: Danny G. So I think We should get to that
Speaker 1: right now and answer the people's questions. These are all
Speaker 1: questions sent in by actual listeners of the show, real
Speaker 1: human beings, real human beings that have sent their messages in.
Speaker 1: But before we get the party started, we must have
Speaker 1: the proper open to the festivities, all right. Thank you
Speaker 1: to ohio Al for that little ditty. We appreciate that,
Speaker 1: and we thank you all for sending questions in. And
Speaker 1: the first one comes from Rick from San Ramon Own.
Speaker 1: He says, last week's podcast February was the most entertaining
Speaker 1: since Danny g came back. You guys had me laughing
Speaker 1: my butt off. Thank you Danny for digging up the
Speaker 1: hot Carrelson drop. Still funny as hell. Also, to add
Speaker 1: to your bleep conversation, I used to listen to Howard
Speaker 1: Stern every morning when he was on commercial radio back
Speaker 1: in the midnightties. Part of the reason I thought his
Speaker 1: show was so funny was the bleeping out of the
Speaker 1: curse words. Now that he's on satellite radio, it's not
Speaker 1: as funny anyway. Thanks for continuing to entertain. You make
Speaker 1: my Sunday night walks much more enjoyable, says Rick from
Speaker 1: San Ramons so thank you. And so we talked about
Speaker 1: cursing on the on the podcast and you know this,
Speaker 1: that and the other thing. And it took me a
Speaker 1: ship ton of time last week in posts production to
Speaker 1: get that many fucking bleeps into the podcast. Listen, you
Speaker 1: are such a motherfucker. You piece of ship is what
Speaker 1: you are, all right, motherfucker exactly. But we will keep
Speaker 1: it up. And I agree with Rick because I think
Speaker 1: we're probably around the same age. The the art of
Speaker 1: saying bad things without actually saying bad things is a skill,
Speaker 1: and there's something impressive about that. Blind Scott from the
Speaker 1: North end of Boston, right, so, and says, Hey, can
Speaker 1: you do me a favor on the mailbag? Uh, he says, please?
Speaker 1: Uh can you tell the story about Henry Hill and
Speaker 1: how he was trying to break into the radio station?
Speaker 1: He says, I used to listen to him on the
Speaker 1: Howard Stern Show back in the day, and Uh, the
Speaker 1: dude from Good Fellas. He says, I'm sure a lot
Speaker 1: of listeners would like to know the story. H Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can tell that story, blind Scott real quick. I
Speaker 1: can't give the full version. But years ago, Greg Bergman
Speaker 1: was my producer at Fox sports radio and I was
Speaker 1: doing the Ben Mallor show. This probably goes back oh Man,
Speaker 1: fourteen fifteen years something along those lines, a long time ago.
Speaker 1: And so in those days, I before the show, I
Speaker 1: was doing the overnight show, and I had to go
Speaker 1: out of the studio and I call into the local
Speaker 1: affiliate in l A A M. Five seventy the late
Speaker 1: great Joe McDonald was hosting a nighttime show, and so
Speaker 1: I would do cross talk with him, where I promote
Speaker 1: my show and talk to him about whatever is going on.
Speaker 1: So I would walk out of the radio station out
Speaker 1: on There's a side door and I would walk out
Speaker 1: and kind of walk down right on the corner of
Speaker 1: So Pauloda Inventura, and that's where I would just talking.
Speaker 1: It was nighttime, there's nobody around. But on this night
Speaker 1: it was during the summer, and I walked out before
Speaker 1: the show, and I walked by this guy that was
Speaker 1: kind of disheveled, looked a little a little out of sorts,
Speaker 1: and uh, he said, are you on the radio? And uh?
Speaker 1: And I said, as I remember, I said no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not on the ray. And I kept walking even
Speaker 1: though I was walking out of radio station. So I
Speaker 1: walked out of the radio station. I went and I
Speaker 1: did my my business. I walked back. The guy is
Speaker 1: still there. Now he's close to the door and he's uh.
Speaker 1: He's you're you were just here, you lied to me
Speaker 1: or something like that. You're on the radio, and uh
Speaker 1: and then and my uh no, and I'm not on
Speaker 1: the on the radio. And he says, I'm Henry fucking Hill,
Speaker 1: and I want to get on the radio. I have
Speaker 1: a story to tell and I want to get on
Speaker 1: the radio. He's cursing every other word, you know, funk,
Speaker 1: this ship, that, all this stuff. So I'm looking at
Speaker 1: this guy. I'm like, man, oh man, this guy's nuts.
Speaker 1: He thinks he's Henry Hill, the guy from Goodfellas. So
Speaker 1: I was able to get past the door. Now the
Speaker 1: guy gets piste because he saw me get in the studio.
Speaker 1: I used my card key to get in. Now he
Speaker 1: sees me in. So now I closed the door quickly
Speaker 1: and he starts banging with both fists on the door.
Speaker 1: He's hammering the door, and I told Bergman, my lightweight
Speaker 1: producer at the time, Burgie, I said, take care of this,
Speaker 1: you know, take care of this, to make sure he
Speaker 1: doesn't get in here, and I walked away right into
Speaker 1: the other studio and we were talking about a show
Speaker 1: and my favorite movie of all time as Good Fellows.
Speaker 1: I love the I love the movie. It's my my
Speaker 1: favorite mob movie. We talked to one of the guys
Speaker 1: that you should you should check the go on Google
Speaker 1: see if it's it's maybe it's actually him. And I
Speaker 1: went on Google images. It was Henry Hill, a man
Speaker 1: that had killed people, got a murder, gotta go in
Speaker 1: the mob, Henry Hill, and I walked right by him
Speaker 1: like it was so crazy, Danny. I guess he had
Speaker 1: been in the witness Protection program but they had gotten him.
Speaker 1: He was living in Sherman Oaks, which is where Fox
Speaker 1: Sports radio studios are located, moving to Burbank, but it's
Speaker 1: still to this day that is probably the craziest thing
Speaker 1: that's ever happened to me in that building. It's wild.
Speaker 1: He pissed him off. You're lucky he didn't whack you. Well,
Speaker 1: he was so hammered. I don't think he I don't
Speaker 1: think he knew what which way was up and down
Speaker 1: at that point. But still, you see somebody, I'm Henry Hill.
Speaker 1: You Oh yeah, sure you are. And I'm Santa Clause,
Speaker 1: you know. But yeah, anyway, Jared from Parts Unknown rights
Speaker 1: and he says, given your love of words, origins and
Speaker 1: all not mentioned, not to mention your vocabulary being larger
Speaker 1: than all the other radios. Boy, that's nice sucking up
Speaker 1: from you, Jared, thank you. What are your favorite words, Danny?
Speaker 1: Do you have any as well? He says, endeavor, cool sounding,
Speaker 1: easy to use, Sue sayer, plucky are his favorites. That's
Speaker 1: from Jared. Yeah, so I have a sliding skaggle. First,
Speaker 1: I have a sliding scale. I like the word hornswoggle.
Speaker 1: That's a fun word. I like words that are fun
Speaker 1: to say that kind of make a smile. Your brownie
Speaker 1: is a good word, Mama, Luke gobbled the geok uh.
Speaker 1: Those are all words that are pretty good. And I
Speaker 1: like learning new new phrases. And I've often said that
Speaker 1: all we have is word right Danny word spoken word radio.
Speaker 1: So it's we're pretty much saying the same thing. I
Speaker 1: give the same rant all the time. But the only
Speaker 1: thing that can make us stand out a little bit
Speaker 1: is to change the words. I mean, we're we're talking
Speaker 1: about Aaron Rodgers five days a week. There's only so many.
Speaker 1: You gotta change it up, you know, you gotta mix
Speaker 1: in a little a little spice. What are some words
Speaker 1: that you love, Danny. The first ones that come to
Speaker 1: mind bamboozled, it's a good one. How about effervescent, effervescents
Speaker 1: a big word. Yeah, these are probably the only big
Speaker 1: words I know. Um. I mean, I like when you
Speaker 1: put a couple of same letters together, like in the nineties.
Speaker 1: You know, we were kids of the nineties and we
Speaker 1: would always say funky fresh, sure some good back to backwards,
Speaker 1: funky fresh for the nineties. Well, you're talking about a literation.
Speaker 1: So I love Brian Wheeler, who used to be the
Speaker 1: voice of the Trailwazers and to be amazing, astonishing, you know, astounding,
Speaker 1: you know that kind of difficult, demanding, daunting, boom shaka
Speaker 1: la ka laka. Right. They are taxed, tormented, and tortured,
Speaker 1: you know. So, yeah, those are all fun things. And
Speaker 1: I try to change it up. I do. There's a
Speaker 1: few words that I kind of get caught on that
Speaker 1: I just keep repeating because they're in my lexicon, and
Speaker 1: and I go with it. So, but there's there's a
Speaker 1: lot of different words out there that we have endless
Speaker 1: amounts of words. So thank you for that, Jared Mike
Speaker 1: from Fullerton writes in on the mail bag, he says, uh, oh,
Speaker 1: I didn't play the that's a bad job by me.
Speaker 1: Hold on, excuse me. Mike from Fullerton says, hey, Ben
Speaker 1: after hitting it out of the park as a guest
Speaker 1: host on daytime Radio, what TV show pastor present would
Speaker 1: you like to be a guest host on? Danny? G
Speaker 1: you two? So any of these Steve Harvey properties feed
Speaker 1: would be a lot of fun. I knew you were
Speaker 1: going to say Family Few. Yeah, my, I think Family
Speaker 1: It's a great show. I love that show. That would
Speaker 1: be really good. I think I could have some fun
Speaker 1: with that. I used to watch when I was a kid.
Speaker 1: A ditch school. Prices Right, that's still on. I'll have
Speaker 1: a different host, so Prices Right would be good. Any
Speaker 1: of those game shows I think would be cool to do.
Speaker 1: What about you, Danny, what's if you could fill in
Speaker 1: on a TV show pastor present? According to Mike, which
Speaker 1: one would you pick? Well? In honor of Timderni tips,
Speaker 1: I'd have to say I would love to fill in
Speaker 1: for Chuck Woolery. Oh yeah, love connecting back and be
Speaker 1: back in two and two, Yes, love can or you
Speaker 1: could be on what's a radio show? But love Line? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the love Line when you were younger? And who was
Speaker 1: your favorite? Now? Doctor Drew was on love Line for forever.
Speaker 1: Drew was good. Adam Corolla on that show? He was,
Speaker 1: but they had Striker was the co host the poor Man,
Speaker 1: who's uh, we should get him on the podcast? Is
Speaker 1: he still around? The poor Man? I'm not sure. He'd
Speaker 1: have to be really old, but maybe we can track
Speaker 1: him down. Poor Man's in l a radio guy like
Speaker 1: the rock and roll version of Vic the Brick. Who's
Speaker 1: the sports you know, the sports guy? And and he
Speaker 1: was the original host of Love Line. He sued and
Speaker 1: there was a bunch of stuff that got on. But
Speaker 1: that would be that too. And then one last one,
Speaker 1: I would say in It's a day when Vana White
Speaker 1: was super hot because that show? How many years has
Speaker 1: Wheel of Fortune been on? Now? Pat Sajax still looks
Speaker 1: exactly the same food. When we were little kids, though,
Speaker 1: people wanted to bang Vanah White really bad. And you
Speaker 1: imagine being the host of that show. Oh sure, And
Speaker 1: then but she also had the Price is right. They
Speaker 1: had those showcase showdown girls or whatever they were on
Speaker 1: there that was also popular, and I think there were
Speaker 1: some scandals with that. Oh yeah, Bob Barker was famous
Speaker 1: for hooking up with those prices right girls. In fact,
Speaker 1: he got sued and that was a big deal when
Speaker 1: we were kids. He was always in the news for
Speaker 1: being sued for sexual arresting. Well, the women were impressed
Speaker 1: by that little penciled dick microphone that he had. That
Speaker 1: was pretty impressive. But he did all the booking and
Speaker 1: I bet he did. Yeah, Jennifer and Richmond Virginia right,
Speaker 1: since says, hey, Ben and Danny g online passwords are
Speaker 1: a pain and I keep mind pretty similar to each other. Uh,
Speaker 1: and I take I make notes of them. But do
Speaker 1: you take the time to come up with unique, clever
Speaker 1: passwords for everything? Uh? No, Jennifer, absolutely not. I did
Speaker 1: not come up with unique passwords. I hate the work email,
Speaker 1: which I don't really check, and I have to reset
Speaker 1: it every six months, and you can't use the same
Speaker 1: password you've used in the past, and and so I'll
Speaker 1: have to write that down. I usually forget it and
Speaker 1: I have to call one of the bosses and say, hey,
Speaker 1: I got locked out of the email again because like
Speaker 1: three or four times a year, maybe not that many times.
Speaker 1: There's a couple of times a year we have to
Speaker 1: do training online training, so I have to use my
Speaker 1: work email. But other than that, I never look at
Speaker 1: it because it's you know, that's the first thing they
Speaker 1: get rid of. I learned when they did get rid
Speaker 1: of me in oh nine, that's the first thing they
Speaker 1: get rid of is your email. So I don't even
Speaker 1: bother with it. Uh. And the other thing about that
Speaker 1: I know from some people in the cyber world, well,
Speaker 1: it seems great to have a really hard password. A
Speaker 1: lot of times people who steal passwords will just get
Speaker 1: access to the full database, so it doesn't even matter,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You could have the hardest
Speaker 1: password the world. But if if the people that you
Speaker 1: know hacking to the website get all the passwords, what
Speaker 1: are you gonna do and have your password? So anyway,
Speaker 1: vols fan Jimmy from Fayttville, Tennessee, Sis for both of
Speaker 1: you guys. With gasoline prices soaring so high, have you
Speaker 1: considered buying an electric car? Yeah? I actually had a
Speaker 1: gas electric hybrid that was you could go like, you know,
Speaker 1: eighty miles on the on the electric or something like that.
Speaker 1: I had to get rid of that car was a lemon.
Speaker 1: So we had to return that car. The Mallard mobile
Speaker 1: was a Lemon. I remember that. Now you would be
Speaker 1: paying more attention to this if you were driving to
Speaker 1: the studio every day like back in the day. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: my wife drives a lot to work. She's got along,
Speaker 1: so you guys still have to budget a lot of gas. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: she's you know, it's it's a it's a marathon. It's
Speaker 1: a lot of time in traffic. And well, speaking of gas,
Speaker 1: when I was in Vegas, you want to talk about
Speaker 1: price gauge. So I went to the Costco in Vegas
Speaker 1: as always, that's why I go. I'm a Costco, love Costco.
Speaker 1: So gas was really cheap at Costco in Vegas. It
Speaker 1: was like three dollars and fifty nine cents or something
Speaker 1: like that. Kirkland brand gas. Birkland brand gas the best
Speaker 1: kind of gas. So it is it is the don't
Speaker 1: play the buzzer, it's not wrong. Okay, it's a really
Speaker 1: good brand of gas. Anyway, So I got the gas
Speaker 1: and uh, and then I'm driving out and then we
Speaker 1: get to prim where I went into the ghost town,
Speaker 1: told the story about the ghost town. So I get
Speaker 1: the prim Now this is in Nevada, so it's the
Speaker 1: same tax, it's the same everything as the Costco in
Speaker 1: in Vegas, and it's all the trucks to take the
Speaker 1: gasoline to Vegas from l A have to go down
Speaker 1: that highway, so it's not like it's out of the way.
Speaker 1: They were charging five dollars in like sixty nine cents
Speaker 1: for the same gas. Uh, this was not obviously Costco.
Speaker 1: This was a name brand price gouging gas station, but
Speaker 1: over two dollars more a gallon. And they were totally
Speaker 1: taking advantage of the whole Russia invading the Ukraine thing,
Speaker 1: that old deal. And yeah, it's another form of COVID blaming.
Speaker 1: You could just blame any increase on COVID or now
Speaker 1: the war. And also so yeah, supply chain issues because
Speaker 1: of COVID and all all of that. I got mail.
Speaker 1: I got mail. Yeah, because of trucking. It's because of ships.
Speaker 1: Screw you pay me, Yeah, this that or the other thing.
Speaker 1: Did you see burger King? I think I read online
Speaker 1: Burger King. They're not going to lower the price of
Speaker 1: the chicken nuggets, but instead of giving you ten, they're
Speaker 1: gonna give you eight. I don't want to eat any
Speaker 1: of those. Well, I hear you, but I'm just saying like,
Speaker 1: it's do they realize that that is inflation? You're paying
Speaker 1: the same and getting less that that they're making it
Speaker 1: seem like, well, we're not going to raise our prices. Well,
Speaker 1: but but you're giving people less for the same amount,
Speaker 1: so they're paying more for less. Burger King, I have
Speaker 1: an idea for you make your shitty fries taste better.
Speaker 1: My my, my, one of my grandfather loved, loved uh.
Speaker 1: He loved going and enjoying Burger King. And I was
Speaker 1: never a big Burger King fan. Burger King was good
Speaker 1: when we were kids. My mom would hold that out
Speaker 1: when we would go to church on Sunday. That was
Speaker 1: her bride. Do you guys are good and you make
Speaker 1: it through the song and you make it through prayer
Speaker 1: without laughing and causing a scene. I will take you
Speaker 1: to get a hamburger at Burger King. The ingredients were quality.
Speaker 1: I know that they went through an ownership change and
Speaker 1: their ingredients have went down the toilet. Do they still
Speaker 1: have the long I haven't eaten Burger King in a
Speaker 1: long time, but they still have the long chicken sandwich.
Speaker 1: I think, so the oldest chicken sandwich out there. As
Speaker 1: far as a fast food restaurant, Burger King has got
Speaker 1: to be up there. Yeah, and that's been trumped by
Speaker 1: I mean, everyone's got a fast food sandwich, right, it's
Speaker 1: just bait taste like anyway, all right. I don't know
Speaker 1: if we answered Jimmy's question though, I I I would
Speaker 1: be open to get an electric car, especially now I'm
Speaker 1: not driving as much. But I'm really concerned about the
Speaker 1: mileage because they don't get a lot of miles. So
Speaker 1: I go out, like go on road trips, and I
Speaker 1: think it would be a pain in the ask to
Speaker 1: have to stop for an hour to charge the car
Speaker 1: every two miles or something like that. Yeah, and I'm
Speaker 1: an old school guy. I've always liked fast cars, and
Speaker 1: I've been driving a stick shift the past four years.
Speaker 1: So give me some open road and some gasoline. Baby
Speaker 1: burn baby burns. Pierre and Springfield Masses uses some of
Speaker 1: the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame where you can see
Speaker 1: Muffett McGraw and try and he says, Ben, what was
Speaker 1: your total windfall from the Vegas Sports book last weekend,
Speaker 1: and he says number two. Since you won't answer number one,
Speaker 1: Pierre knows me. Yeah, for financial reasons. I never reveal
Speaker 1: how much I win or lose for that matter. But
Speaker 1: if you, of course, if you win too much, I think,
Speaker 1: what is it? Twenty five hundred is that the number?
Speaker 1: If you get over one wind, they hand you a
Speaker 1: paper for taxes. I know with DraftKings, if you win
Speaker 1: over six hundred dollars, you have to claim it. Always
Speaker 1: it over six draft kings. I didn't realize that, but
Speaker 1: I know in Vegas at the casinos, if you if
Speaker 1: you went over a certain amount, I think it's maybe
Speaker 1: it's lower now, so you go to win about a
Speaker 1: thousand each time and go back to your room and
Speaker 1: then come back and win another thousand, because then you
Speaker 1: can avoid having you know, not not that you should
Speaker 1: avoid paying taxes, Danny, I'm not saying that at all,
Speaker 1: but if you chose to try to avoid paying the taxes, yeah,
Speaker 1: you could conceivably do that, right, Yeah, I mean there's
Speaker 1: ways around that. So uh, and just tell the government
Speaker 1: that you really needed all of that money because of
Speaker 1: the war. Anyways, just says, do you do you see
Speaker 1: yourself pulling a Musburger and moving to Vegas to do
Speaker 1: a gambling show and living out your days as a
Speaker 1: whale at the casino. Yeah. Well, I know it's not
Speaker 1: my call. I'm in a partnership, I'm in a marriage,
Speaker 1: so it's not totally my call. But I could. I
Speaker 1: could live in Vegas. I think I would. I do
Speaker 1: pretty well there. He just called you a whale. I
Speaker 1: resembled that comment. So yes, I resembled that comment absolutely.
Speaker 1: All right. Let's see who is next year? Any meany
Speaker 1: mighty mode? Gary a big shot in the doughnut business rights.
Speaker 1: He says, I listen on I Heart Radio and can't
Speaker 1: seem to find where to review this program. I have
Speaker 1: been listening for a couple of years now, and I says,
Speaker 1: the monologues are spot on, your syndicated or cynic I
Speaker 1: think you mean cynical. Cynical mind is one of a kind.
Speaker 1: I listen every night, or listen to download shows until
Speaker 1: you are alive. Keep it up. The fifth Hour has
Speaker 1: been better with Danny g. The staff is awesome, the
Speaker 1: militia is something else. Thanks for keeping me tired all day.
Speaker 1: That is Gary. I don't know if he wants me to.
Speaker 1: I don't know that I need to sit where he works,
Speaker 1: but he's at a very famous donut chain. He's in management, Danny,
Speaker 1: and they're very famous in Boston. And they might love
Speaker 1: Tim Duncan. They might be fans of Tim Duncan, the
Speaker 1: basket ball player got you know, yeah, and I might
Speaker 1: drink their coffee sometimes. I hear you, I hear you. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I went into one of those places and I asked
Speaker 1: for a cinnamon roll and they looked at me like
Speaker 1: I was insane. They said, what is that. I guess
Speaker 1: in certain parts of the country they call that a
Speaker 1: coffee roll. I think the lady looked at me crazy
Speaker 1: because she's like, don't we don't have donut hose? And
Speaker 1: I'm like, donut hose, no hose, what's wrong with you?
Speaker 1: Come on like I'm not for sale? Yeah? Uh, let's
Speaker 1: see who is next year? Come back it's side from now.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Gary, that was a very nice review. I'll
Speaker 1: send you a link. Maybe I already have sent you
Speaker 1: a link, and you can write your own review. Nick
Speaker 1: in Wis I think you just did though. Just copy
Speaker 1: and paste that Nick and Wisconsin says Benn and Danny.
Speaker 1: If it were old school w WF slash w W
Speaker 1: who told you, We told you you want to take
Speaker 1: your tag team partner? Says that you got to pick
Speaker 1: a tag team partner, Danny between st Tammy and Montana
Speaker 1: and judgmental Helen. So these are the two feuding women.
Speaker 1: Who do you want to go first? Danny? Who would
Speaker 1: you pick? I don't know Helen enough to know if
Speaker 1: she would be a good partner in the ring. I
Speaker 1: obviously I am more familiar with Tammy because she was
Speaker 1: on the show back when I was part of your
Speaker 1: live radio show. Helen, I only know from the podcast.
Speaker 1: But boy, based on their back and forth, it sounds
Speaker 1: like Tammy might gouge some eyes out. Yeah. Well, Tammy
Speaker 1: is the the sweet woman who's got like an unbelievable rage,
Speaker 1: like a mama bear. Yeah, like a mom exactly, like
Speaker 1: a mama bear. Ask any park ranger, what is the
Speaker 1: most dangerous situation to be in? Getting near a baby?
Speaker 1: Come and you're dead meat? So I would say Dammy
Speaker 1: for that reason. Yeah, all right, So you take Tammy
Speaker 1: and I'll take Helen because Helen, you know, she's from
Speaker 1: New York, so she's got a little great to her
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, probably always kind of going around
Speaker 1: a little cynical and all that stuff. And uh, and
Speaker 1: she doesn't even pretend to be nice. She's just that's
Speaker 1: all she. I mean, just attack, attack, attack, attack. So
Speaker 1: we gotta set that up, a steel cage deathmatch. Let's
Speaker 1: get it on, get along, bring it on, bring it
Speaker 1: on in one quarter? All right. See, Helen doesn't call
Speaker 1: the radio show. If she called the radio show, I
Speaker 1: could make that happen on the live radio show. I
Speaker 1: guess it's possible we could do it on the podcast,
Speaker 1: although I'm not sure how the logistics of all that
Speaker 1: would work. I think I would have to buy some
Speaker 1: more equipment to do maybe another phone. You only take
Speaker 1: one call at a time where I am right now? Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, Uh let's see we have have Carlos in Houston.
Speaker 1: He says, little word of advice for everyone who is listening,
Speaker 1: don't listen to last week's podcast. We're working out so hilarious.
Speaker 1: I just want to know how do I get on
Speaker 1: the Mallard payroll. I know Chris and Houston moved on
Speaker 1: to the day shift, and you need a Houston caller. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we had that guy that called for a while from
Speaker 1: the factory who was just really bored and then I
Speaker 1: ripped him and then he got upset and became feisty
Speaker 1: and he stopped calling. So, yeah, I think we're deficient
Speaker 1: in Houston College. We've always had a couple of callers
Speaker 1: from Houston, but right now we're a little short there.
Speaker 1: It's weird because you always speak so highly of their
Speaker 1: professional teams. Well, I am very kind, as you know, Danny.
Speaker 1: I speak the truth and many people can't handle the truth,
Speaker 1: and so I have to explain these things. And uh,
Speaker 1: that's right, absolutely correct on that anyway, he says. Uh.
Speaker 1: With Hugh Chris moving on to the day shift, he says,
Speaker 1: you need a Houston caller also, Danny, we need that
Speaker 1: drop that says that is a complete load of crap,
Speaker 1: and maybe you'll also be able to find it. He says,
Speaker 1: So a drop request for you, a complete load of crap.
Speaker 1: Carlos also said I just want to say, fuck Rob Manford.
Speaker 1: I missed baseball because it was the only thing to
Speaker 1: look forward to since the Rockets and Texans suck ass.
Speaker 1: Uh so so says Carlos, Well, okay, thank you for that, Carlos.
Speaker 1: I second that, man, and I know you got to
Speaker 1: talk to John Morossi on Friday. It's funny because a
Speaker 1: few days ago, my Queen Sinderoni asked me, so does
Speaker 1: this mean baseball is not going to start on time?
Speaker 1: And I said, that's exactly what it means. And she said,
Speaker 1: fuck those guys. She's that's her favorite sports. She wants
Speaker 1: Dodgers back, she wants baseball back. And I think she
Speaker 1: spoke for the whole country when she said, funk all
Speaker 1: those guys. Yeah, no, I agree with the Queen Tinderoni.
Speaker 1: There and these players and the owners are quiet, quiet
Speaker 1: and trying to get everyone in else. They all are
Speaker 1: using the fan as a as a prop, as a
Speaker 1: pond in this, and their fans caught in the crossfire.
Speaker 1: The players don't give a shit about the fans. The
Speaker 1: owners don't give a shit about the fans. That's the reality.
Speaker 1: If they did, they'd all take less money and lower
Speaker 1: the price of tickets, and lower the price of cable
Speaker 1: television how much they get from television. They lower the
Speaker 1: price of beer, hot dogs, and all that. If they
Speaker 1: ultimately really cared about the fan, the stuff would not
Speaker 1: be as expensive it is as it is. To go
Speaker 1: to a game. So when they say we when they
Speaker 1: say we care about the fans, all fake news. It
Speaker 1: didn't happen. Damn right, Well, I mean that did happen.
Speaker 1: They did say it. But yeah, Ben, last season, we
Speaker 1: had to fly to Colorado to see our Dodgers in
Speaker 1: order to get reasonable ticket prices. Nachos that were eight dollars.
Speaker 1: Eight dollars. You know what eight dollars gets you at
Speaker 1: Dodgers Stadium. Yeah, you get some catchup packets is what
Speaker 1: you get. If you're lucky, you get a side of
Speaker 1: ranch for eight dollars at Dodger Stadium. Oh yeah, that's
Speaker 1: another thing that's changed in our life. When I was
Speaker 1: a kid, the Dodges, owned by the O'Malley family used
Speaker 1: to brag they were the greatest deal in town. And
Speaker 1: they were. They didn't have a lot of options, didn't
Speaker 1: have a lot of options at the concession stand, but
Speaker 1: everything was cheap. And I remember when when I started
Speaker 1: going out there a lot in the media O'Malley still
Speaker 1: on the team. There were no advertising side like that
Speaker 1: thing was pure. And now it is like a bathroom
Speaker 1: stall in Jersey with all the writing on it and
Speaker 1: all that stuff. It's uh pretty I mean, I get it.
Speaker 1: I would probably do the same thing if I owned
Speaker 1: the Dodges, but it's just changed so much in my
Speaker 1: lifetime it's pretty wild. Let's see who is next year.
Speaker 1: Ozzy Momentum says two questions. Danny, you seem like a masculine,
Speaker 1: do it yourself type of guy. Ben you less, so
Speaker 1: what's you how dare you? What's your go to power
Speaker 1: tool at home if you have any. I do have
Speaker 1: two toolboxes, but but no power tools to speak of.
Speaker 1: I've always had to borrow. I don't need them that
Speaker 1: often to invest into having my own. The last couple
Speaker 1: of things I put together furniture wise, where they called
Speaker 1: for a power drill, I just did it by hand
Speaker 1: with the screwdriver. See that's how masculine you are. It
Speaker 1: wasn't easy and it took way longer than it should have. Alright,
Speaker 1: that's how That's how he rolls. I actually have a
Speaker 1: few things I've picked up over the years. I wish
Speaker 1: I had a chainsaw, though, that to me, that's the
Speaker 1: most masculine. Hey, Psycho, no no, no, I would love
Speaker 1: because you know expensive it is to have a tree removed.
Speaker 1: It's like a thousand dollars. And I'm like, I can
Speaker 1: go to home depot or lows and rent a chainsaw
Speaker 1: for a day. And I I'm not that I'm Jack
Speaker 1: the Ripper anything like up, but I can cut down
Speaker 1: a tree with a chainsaw, or at least most of
Speaker 1: the tree. I think I'd be fine at that. So
Speaker 1: that's that's quite the racket, Danny, Quite the racket. Man,
Speaker 1: oh man, all right, let's see here. What don't we
Speaker 1: have time for a few more? Caleb from Neadville rights in,
Speaker 1: let's see here. I got mail, yea, I got mail, yea.
Speaker 1: Not that exciting camp down, he says, big Bend. The
Speaker 1: interview with Scott Farrell last weekend was has only been
Speaker 1: bested by your interview with Lenny Dikest. Well, we could
Speaker 1: get you know, we should get Dike Straw on again.
Speaker 1: He'll come on. He's a friend of the podcast. Eddie's
Speaker 1: afraid of Dikestra. He's afraid of Lenny Dikester. It's true.
Speaker 1: It's weird. It's like you're not gonna be in the
Speaker 1: same room with Lenny anyway. Thinks Lenny is so diseased
Speaker 1: he might get the cooties or something. Anyway, Uh, The
Speaker 1: interview with Scott Farrell last week was only be bested
Speaker 1: by the interview with Lenny Dikester. I was glue to
Speaker 1: my radio with both of those guys. Please tell me,
Speaker 1: do you have any more guests lined up that have
Speaker 1: just as outlandish as low as get Well, well, Danny,
Speaker 1: you're you're the you're the book. I work with you
Speaker 1: on that, and we're trying to get if you want
Speaker 1: to recommend someone along those lines, and he can get
Speaker 1: some of these guys who are just a holes and
Speaker 1: won't come on the podcast, but others are big fans
Speaker 1: of the show or whatever, we are willing to do it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, anybody's reasonable, we'd love to get on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I think one thing I found out recently. We
Speaker 1: talked about this on last weekend's podcast when we went
Speaker 1: over the Curse Words podcast is becoming one of those words.
Speaker 1: So recently I've been leaving that p word out of
Speaker 1: my emails and text messages. So it's it's gonna be interesting.
Speaker 1: You know. It's not easy to book guests, especially when
Speaker 1: it's uh, you know, a thirty minute hit, because these
Speaker 1: guys will go on some shows for ten minutes and
Speaker 1: that's all they want to give you. It's not easy
Speaker 1: to get somebody for a half hour. Yeah, and so
Speaker 1: as some of the guys we've had on have just
Speaker 1: after a few minutes just decided they don't want to
Speaker 1: do it anymore. In the middle, they abruptly stopped the interview,
Speaker 1: and you're like, whoa wait a minute here, what the
Speaker 1: hell just happened? And then your you scrambled Travis and
Speaker 1: Roseberg also said, was your most recent Vegas trip a
Speaker 1: reaction to interviewing Scott Farrell? Pure pressure? It can be
Speaker 1: a bit Uh well, no, I wasn't laying on my
Speaker 1: bed in Vegas, uh, pouring money on top of my head.
Speaker 1: And and that trip had already been played before we
Speaker 1: had a chance to have Scott Farrell on. So was
Speaker 1: it like four play for you? Though? Uh, it didn't hurt.
Speaker 1: It kind of fired me up. I'm not gonna lie
Speaker 1: it fired me up. I was like, Wow, this is
Speaker 1: gonna be fun. Uh, let's see branded from houses on
Speaker 1: on your Monday show. You have the incident of ice
Speaker 1: line And I'm just curious why the last caller is
Speaker 1: always called number five? He says, So that's actually you're
Speaker 1: mixing up the bits Brandon, you're mixing up the bits.
Speaker 1: That's not the incident of ice line is where people
Speaker 1: just call up and scream ridiculous things. Uh, you're talking
Speaker 1: about the game we play the next night, which is
Speaker 1: where we play a sound bite site the bite it's
Speaker 1: called you have to figure out who the person the
Speaker 1: reason we did the fifth callers because that's the second clue,
Speaker 1: and it always seemed to be Justin and Cincinnati, so
Speaker 1: and I would always give you a mathematical reason why
Speaker 1: I was going with caller five. Yes. Yeah, Roberto came
Speaker 1: on the show and he didn't know the show. The
Speaker 1: first night he said, Lebron James. So that's the inside joke.
Speaker 1: You will still hear Lebron James sometimes as Roberto's answer,
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. Terry from England says, have you ever had
Speaker 1: a monologue star or a star's agent come after you
Speaker 1: at work where the boss had to have your back?
Speaker 1: Says Terry in England, Yes, yes, Terry doesn't happen very often,
Speaker 1: but I have been confronted via when I went on
Speaker 1: the website, I got a lot of trouble with the website.
Speaker 1: I got a cease and assist letters and all that
Speaker 1: it was a big paint and it took us on
Speaker 1: the radio show. I have been in trouble with the
Speaker 1: the commissioner's office at one of the major sports leagues
Speaker 1: for something that I said. That was awkward, getting in
Speaker 1: trouble with the commissioner's office. And I've I've had people
Speaker 1: coaches that have complained and things like that. So it
Speaker 1: doesn't happen that often, but it has happened, and it's
Speaker 1: it's always really a badge of honor, Danny, if somebody
Speaker 1: gets that upset by an opinion that they feel the
Speaker 1: need to contact your boss and complain and rant and rave,
Speaker 1: I mean, what are we doing? So but that has happened,
Speaker 1: and uh, I think that's all we have time for.
Speaker 1: So Sarah in Minnesota, who's actually in Florida, she had
Speaker 1: a great point about MLB, you know, sports teams in general,
Speaker 1: the value of sports teams. Uh, and she I think
Speaker 1: she says, she became a snowbird. She's with her friends,
Speaker 1: but she listens. When the friends go to go away,
Speaker 1: she'll listen to the podcast. So thank you for back
