1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 1: minutes a week was enough, think again. He's the last

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: remnants of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness.

4
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow. It's a

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,040

Speaker 1: biggest events? Yeah, the Oscars on Sunday night. I can't well. No,

13
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: that isn't cuts a bad answer, That is a wrong answer. No.

Speaker 1: global exclusive, Danny. The content we are providing today, no

00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: one else has it. ESPN doesn't have it, CBS doesn't

18
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: have it, NBC nobody has it. We are the only podcast.

19
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan doesn't have it, Adam Carolla doesn't have it.

20
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: Nobody in the podcast game has the content we are

21
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: about to provide. We paid for the rights, Danny. We

22
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: own the naming rights. We are the show of record,

23

24
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: three Benny's celebrating marginal overnight talk radio in the sports format.

31
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: I look at that. What else is it in there?

32
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: A bottle of whiskey? Look at that stick. Yeah, there's

33
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: some chap stick in there. That's pretty good. There's a

34
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: hair replacement product. Uh, there's a boner pills that's in

35
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: there as well. So there's a bottle of urine in here. Well,

36
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: Doc Mike made sure he wanted everyone to be welcomed

37
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: with open arms. There's a mandolin from Dick and Dayton.

38
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: Look at that, a mandolin, Dixter. That's a that's crazy.

39
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: This is an amazing goodie bag. What a great goodie craft.

40
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: This is a big one. Oh what is that? What

41
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: is that? What do you guys? Is that? I think

42
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: that is a I believe that's one of blind Scots canes.

43
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: I think that's one of his jes right there? Why

44
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: is that in there? I thought it was for stickball,

45
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: h cow cowboy. And Winter's got some old newspapers he's donating,

46
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: so that's exciting. In the goodie bag and what's hollering

47
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: James is giving us some old pill bottles from as

48
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: many medications that he takes. I'm a doctor. So this

49
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: is the pregame for the main event. We've got proper palooza,

50
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: the nominees please, and then whatever else we have time for.

51
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll get the pop quiz maybe well, maybe we'll

52
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: get the scientific goal. Maybe we won't. But it just depends, right,

53
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: depends how much time we have. So we begin with

54
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: this though the fifth Hour with Ben Mallard and Danny

55
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: g Radio. We are all dressed in the night. Danny,

56
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: you've got your formal outfit on right there. You're looking

57
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: at a solid People can't see you because it's a podcast,

58
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: but trust us and we are just a couple of

59
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: days away from I got to repeat this the greatest

60
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: night in overnight sports talk radio, the twenty twenty three

61
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: Benny Awards, celebrating the contributions of men, women and children,

62
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: well mostly men from around the globe who have helped

63
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: cultivate content. And really these are people that are influences, Danny.

64
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: The people that are nominated are influencers. It has been called,

65
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: and rightfully so, the single pinnacle event, the seminal event

66
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: of the show. And we all come together, we pat

67
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: each other on the ass, and we say how great

68
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: we are and all that. It is a tradition unlike

69
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: any other. As Jim Nance might say, a toe tapping

70
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: good time. It's like a trip to the hooting nanny, Danny.

71
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: It's like a trip to the hooting nanny. And so

72
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: this is the pregame show. Consider this the red carpet galla,

73
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: all the glits, all the glamor. You never know what

74
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: Felexus is gonna wear, for example, or our friend Mark,

75
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: the full name guy in Medford, Oregon. You just don't know.

76
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: But we will be mixing, and we will be mingling.

77
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: I've never seen Coop in a suit before. I know

78
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: he's but look at that. He's got a b all

79
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: in his pocket. Though even though he's warning the suit,

80
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: he's still got the ball with him. I wish I

81
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: could pull off those suits. So that's good to see.

82
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: Roberto's wearing a chef's hat for cooking with Roberto, so

83
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 1: he's got that on. Eddie's looking at some old hockey magazine.

84
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: I don't know why he's doing that. He's in a

85
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: walking boot like Kevin Durant. Though it's a bad job

86
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: by him. Shame on him. How about shut up? So anyway, listen,

87
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: get to the point. Please. We like gambling on this show.

88
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: We knew Benny versus the Penny during football season, so

89
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: I thought, why not a proper palooza. Danny and the

90
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: Mallard sports Book is open for business. I have put

91
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: together with help from consultant's connoisseurs of offshore sports books,

92
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: we have put together some prop bets for the twenty

93
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: twenty three Bennies. Are you prepared? I did cast my

94
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: vote a couple of days ago. Oh really, would you

95
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: like to share who you voted for? No? No, no,

96
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: that's well, that was gonna be my next point. Okay,

97
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: I have more than one Gmail address. Oh my next

98
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: vote could be bought. I'm just saying. And you can

99
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: send money. You can venmo the money. Is that what

100
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: you'd like? You prefer Venmo yes? Yes? Or zell or cash,

101
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: just straight cash. There's no paper trail. Great cash, that's right.

102
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: So these are prop bets we've come up with for

103
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty three Bennis. Consider this your companion to

104
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: the Benny Awards. We have this prop bet will there

105
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: be a wardrobe malfunction at the Bennies? Will anyone have

106
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: a wardrobe malfunction? Yes? Is plus five thousand, so there's

107
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: a less than two percent chance. I think that's a

108
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: value play, Danny, because you know, we have we have

109
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: some people that are a little loose on the show

110
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: that that might win a Benny, right, and and so

111
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: be careful on that. And you know, we we could

112
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: put together like a Nickelodeon style obstacle cours. Somebody could

113
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: get covered in green slime and then they might take

114
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 1: their clothes off. So that's always a possibility. Does seeing

115
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: Flexus's toes count? Uh, it's fine because it's only seven toes.

116
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: It's like seven and a half toes, So that's perfect.

117
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: That that's you know, that's okay, missing two and a

118
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: half toes. Here's another profet. How likely is a pie

119
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: to be thrown into the face of a nominee yes

120
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: is plus two fifty. That's a seventy percent chance or

121
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: a thirty percent, But mainly because of furg Dog. Burg

122
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: Dog's a clown. I wouldn't put it past furg Dog

123
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: to throw a pie in his own face. That guy's

124
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: That guy's a knucklehead. Here's a here's another prope that's

125
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: pretty good. Which hard luck loser is most likely to

126
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: have a hissy fit? Brian bill Brian Billick, that's a

127
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: good one. Now, Marcel is a minus two eighty favorite,

128
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: ourselves a minus two any favorite. As you know, Danny,

129
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: you've been in this game for a long time. You

130
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: know how this works, and it's a very emotional event.

131
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: Motions run high. Yeah, people really put a lot into this.

132
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: It's a big deal. It's a big deal to win

133
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: a Benny. And if you get this close and you

134
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: don't win, man, is that a kick to the nuts? No.

135
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: And I saw a list of snubs on Bleacher Report yesterday.

136
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: I was mentioned in the article because I think this

137
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: is like doing taxes. Instead of thinking of the actual

138
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: year that these Benny Awards are four people, think of

139
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: what just happened right now prior to Covino and Rich

140
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: who was Coop's fill in guy, the microphone throttler. It

141
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: is a travesty, It is an injustice. It is one

142
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: of the great miscarriages of justice in the Western world.

143
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: Danny g that you were not included in that, and

144
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: you are correct, you are. I'm not gonna say that.

145
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: There are not a lot of notes that are taken

146
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: throughout the years, so people can go back and look

147
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: at some of the great moments. But it just seems

148
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 1: that if you've made more of an impact, it's a

149
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: little bit of a cheat code for next year's Manies.

150
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: If you've made an impact within the last like two

151
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: and a half months prior to the Bennies, yea a

152
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: competitive advantage. You have a leg up on everyone else.

153
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: Like there's people that did great stuff, wonderful stuff on

154
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:30,359
Speaker 1: the show back in May of last year, June April,

155
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: and it gets lost in the haze the battlefield, the

156
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: fog not of war, Danny, because we're not doing war,

157
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: but it's the fog of radio of sports talk radio, right,

158
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: and people become prisoners of the moment, right, That's what

159
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: always happens here, prisoners of the moment, and so that

160
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: is also that's also part of So just back to

161
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,239
Speaker 1: that away. As we continue are in debt, team coverage

162
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: and more recency bias on this. These are actual prop

163
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: bets from the Mallow Sports Book. As we try not

164
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: to jump the gun on this, we have I think

165
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: one or two more. We have who is most likely

166
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: to go woke at the acceptance speech for the winning

167
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: the award? Now, this is always a tough one because

168
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: we have a lot of hardcore, buttoned up guys. I

169
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: would say that Justin and Cincinnati and Jed who fled

170
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: obviously they are the long shots. But if Justin gets

171
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: all liquored up or smokes too many joints, I could

172
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: see that Jed who fled he's one injection away from

173
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 1: going full woke. But I gotta put Plastered Paul from

174
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: Rhode Island as the favorite if he were to win. Benny,

175
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: because we've already he's like Archie Bunker, which is an

176
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: outdated reference Danny, but let's just say he's aging, he's

177
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: an old fogy and he has no there's no mute button,

178
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: there's no filter. He's unfiltered. He's raw with his commentary.

179
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: I also feel like though Justin and Cincinnati, he is

180
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: an undercover w NBA fan. I know this about Justin.

181
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: He loves the w NBA. Doesn't talk about it a lot,

182
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: but he's a huge fan. So if and when he's

183
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: on the stage accepting his award, he might say that

184
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: the w NBA players deserve equal pay. Yeah. Well, the

185
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: other thing about Justin and I don't know, he's probably

186
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 1: not gonna like that. I'm giving this out into the

187
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: cosmos here on the podcast. But for years, our man

188
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: Justin and Cincinnati has been a huge Meghan Rapino fan

189
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: who women's soccer. He actually told me when he was

190
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: a kid he loved women's soccer and his entire life.

191
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: He's just continued that he really likes the rainbow haircuts.

192
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: He thinks that that really just pushed it over the top.

193
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: So as we understand it, he's a huge fan of

194
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: women's soccer. So that's a that's a great take in

195
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: women's basketball too. And people think of Justin as being

196
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: like a neanderthal and a caveman and all that stuff.

197
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 1: But no, no, he's a nuanced man that Justin and Cincinnati.

198
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: Very complex. Yeah, exactly, He's like a Rubric's cube. It's

199
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: not easy to solve. Not easy to solve. So last

200
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: prop bet, what will happen if Brian Finley does not win? Now?

201
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: Favorite is and he's up for filling of the Year Daddy,

202
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: and the I'm looking at the odds here from the

203
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: Offshore book, what will happen if Brian Finley doesn't win?

204
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: A crowbar attack is plus one fifty, So that's a

205
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: forty percent chance that there'll be a crowbar attack dropping

206
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: a piano on my head. That is a minus one

207
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: seventy five favorite, So that is a sixty three percent chance,

208
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: sixty three. So those are some of the odds on

209
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: on the Benny some of the props. Now, how about

210
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: the nominees. We should go point by point through the

211
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: nominees one more time so you can hear all of

212
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: the nominees if you have not voted yet, and I'm

213
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: tweeting out this podcast, and I will make sure below

214
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: the podcast link on my Twitter page and also the

215
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: Facebook page, I'll make sure to include a link so

216
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: you have another opportunity if you haven't voted yet, and

217
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 1: if you've already voted, as Danny pointed out, just get

218
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: another Gmail account. Boom, you can vote again. Now, is

219
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: there a way to write in somebody on the ballot? Oh? God, no, no,

220
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: come on the dopey, stupid Chiefs ball Award show. It's

221
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: wrong with you, Danny? How dare you? There is prestige,

222
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: There is absolutely prestige. There's a bit of a clout

223
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: that comes with this. You get a street credit in

224
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: the malle Militia, which is exciting and all that stuff.

225
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: But it's not like you win this and you all

226
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: of a sudden you're gonna become a captain of industry

227
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: or an aristocrat or anything like that. But there is

228
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: no write in ballot. What kind of radio show are

229
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: you guys doing? So the nominees. Here we go. Let's

230
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: get to the point. It is the nominees and why

231
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: they matter. Okay, why they matter? The nominees for the

232
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three Bennies celebrating marginal overnight sports talk radio

233
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: in the year twenty twenty two. These are the ones

234
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: that stood out and just to be nominated, My god,

235
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: what an honor? What in honor. So few people in

236
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: the world ever get nominated for the Bennies. And you

237
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: think about all of the people that lived, all of

238
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: the people that have been part of society and humanity,

239
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: and never were they nominated for a Benny. It's just

240
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: absolutely studying when you think about all the big name

241
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: Babe Ruth never got nominated for a Benny. Lebron James

242
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: has not been nominated for a Benny. Tom Brady never

243
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: nominated for a Benny. It's craziness. Yeah, Abraham Lincoln never nominated,

244
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: George Washington never nominated for a Benny. Vladimir Putin not

245
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: nominated for a Benny. I can go on, Ben, congratulations

246
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: the nominees please for Rookie Caller of the Year. The

247
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: nominees are Andre in Massachusetts aka the Commonwealth, fer Dog

248
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: in southern California, Poppy in San Diego, Alameter Lou from

249
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: the Bay Area, and Andy the comic book guy in Pasadena.

250
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: So I did notice on this category, Danny handicapping the category.

251
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: It is very heavy towards California. Yeah, only one of

252
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: the candidates on one of the nominees is not from

253
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: the Golden State. Andrea and the Commonwealth is on an

254
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: island by himself, and he's a polarizing caller too, Danny

255
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: g because there's a lot of the guys who tweet

256
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: the show are upset with Andre. They don't like him,

257
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: they think he's a thief in the night. I don't

258
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: know why. It just rubs people the wrong way, I guess.

259
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: But you've got furg Dog. I would put furg Dog

260
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: as a favorite just because he's so active. I gotta

261
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: think Poppy in San Diego. Also because he's called a lot,

262
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: he's been part of the show. So I think those

263
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: also for worst caller of the year. Yes, yes, that's

264
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: the beauty of the show. You can be not only

265
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: the rookie of the year, but also the worst caller

266
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: on the show. You can wait. Awards says a lot

267
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: about your show. How dare you winner? Covino and Rich

268
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: doing their awards show? Is that next week? That? All right?

269
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: Best game show contestant, that's the Dan Patrick show that

270
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: steals your content. I've heard that, but I had no comment.

271
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:05,479
Speaker 1: Best game show contestant, You've got Matt in Phoenix. Now,

272
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: this guy's a phoenion, this guy's a prodigy. This mad

273
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: in Phoenix. I learned this week on the show, Danny

274
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 1: that Matt, who's twenty five years old, he's been listening

275
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: to the show since he was thirteen years old, so

276
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: he's been pretty much grown up with you when you

277
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: were part of the show and with me, and now

278
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: he's fifty seven years old. Now, oh no, no, I've

279
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: only been doing radio for like five years, but he's

280
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: been he's been listening before I was even on Fox

281
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 1: Sports Radio and amazing run Mad in Phoenix. He was

282
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: from Illinois. He lives in Phoenix now going to school.

283
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: And this guy is up for Best Game Show Contestant.

284
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: Also the man that was part of a cheating scandal,

285
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: Justin in Cincinnati. And I gotta tell you, Danny, if

286
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: Justin ends up winning, that would be very deflating because

287
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: he was part of such a despicable thing on this

288
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: show with Eddie Garcia on the Overnight show, to the

289
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: idea that he would be rewarded, it would be the

290
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: equivalent of the cheating as assholes getting credited with winning

291
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: the World Series. But again, it's what have you done

292
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: for me lately with these awards? This is not really

293
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: the beginning of twenty twenty two that your listeners are

294
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: thinking about right now. Yeah, no, is that is accurate,

295
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: But that was six months. The suspension was six months.

296
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: It carried most of the year. We have Uncle Mo.

297
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: Uncle Mo is the sparky Anderson of the Overnight Show.

298
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: He sounds like he's in his sixties or seventies, but

299
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 1: he's only in his I believe twenties, and he's like

300
00:18:55,240 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: a trivia savant guy. It's insane the amount of random,

301
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: meaningless sports tribua that Uncle Mo has in that brain

302
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 1: of his. It really is. He's one of the nammies.

303
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: Who else do we have? We have Mitchell in Ohio

304
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: as a gag and Mason the Millennial, So those are

305
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: the other two that are there. Mitchell is one of

306
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 1: the funniest people that play these games, but doesn't even

307
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: realize that he's funny. Danny, you know what I mean,

308
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: Like he says stuff where he's not trying to be funny,

309
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: but everyone in the room cracks up and has a

310
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: belly laugh at the expense of our friend Mitchell in Ohio.

311
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: Those are the best kind of comedians. Yeah, it's it's

312
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: a windfall. When he's on the air, it's an absolute windfall.

313
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: And he doesn't even realize it. The next category, and

314
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 1: in that category I do have Justin and Uncle mos

315
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: Co favorites, but I'm pulling from Uncle Mo. I do

316
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: not have a say in this, but I am from

317
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: Uncle Mo. Best Instant AdviceLine Caller is the next category.

318
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: And people have said the instant Advice line is like

319
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: an audition. It's like a tryout for the main main show,

320
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: a dummy run, if you will, which is perfect any

321
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 1: because our show has a lot of dummies, right, we

322
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: have a lot of dummies on the on the radio show.

323
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: So the nominees for Best Instant Advice Line Caller, we

324
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 1: have Whoopee Pie Blair's impersonator where he says it's too

325
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: much masturbation the problem here. That's a good one. That's

326
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: a solid one. We have. I know it's you, Roberto guy,

327
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: yeah with his creepy serial killer voice, Fudgie Como from

328
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: Boston who does the funny fudgie voice, Sean the Hood

329
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: guy who's been very prolific at the Instant AdviceLine, and

330
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: Angry Bill speaking of dummies, Well, he's just a nut

331
00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: from Nutley, New Jersey. What about a nine year old girl? Yeah, yeah,

332
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 1: that's the guy. And in this category this is too

333
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: tough to call. I I would give an edge to

334
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: the Whoopie Pie impersonator, But Fudgie this is his this

335
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: is his wheelhouse here, Fudgie, this is his special special thing.

336
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: So I would say Whoopie Pie impersonator or Fudgie. And

337
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: I haven't seen the number, so I don't know who's

338
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: who's leading, and I don't I purposely did not look

339
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: at the numbers because I want to go into this

340
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: and to give my opinion as we go through this.

341
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: Oh I did at thirty Now I'm just kidding, all right.

342
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: Next up another very competitive category, Best Lame Joke Writer,

343
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 1: Best Lame Joke Writer. Ooh, this is competitive. Yeah, this

344
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: is a tough category. This is another difficult category because

345
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: there's so many people that are just wonderful at sending

346
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: jokes and they've improved the show. They've made the show

347
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: more enjoyable, they've upgraded the content. So I do think

348
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: everyone that sends jokes in, even the people that aren't

349
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: funny who send the jokes in. But the nominees for

350
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,479
Speaker 1: Best Lame Joke Rider of the Year, we have Gordon

351
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: in Tacoma, Gordon's been with the show a long time

352
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: as a joke rider. Usually sends two jokes a week

353
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: in and they're both pretty good. Normally they both make

354
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: the air. Ozzy Momentum, who is a sporadic joke rider,

355
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: but when he jokes very funny. Surfer Todd, the comedian

356
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 1: he's been in studio. We love Surfer Todd and he's

357
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: a volume joke guy. He normally sends four or five

358
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: jokes a week to the show. Anthony and Anaheim, who

359
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: is sporadic. He's one of the nominees. Gary from Youngstown,

360
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: Ohio another prolific joke rider. Gary's sent a lot of

361
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: jokes over the last year, although not recently. He got

362
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 1: upset with me at the end of last year when

363
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: I missed some joke days and so he stopped sending

364
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: jokes in for now, but I'm sure he'll be back.

365
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: Georgie and Rochester, Minnesota. George normally sends just one joke

366
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: a week in and it typically does get on the air.

367
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: Kurt from Earth is another volume joke sender, very funny guy. Normally,

368
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: a lot of his stuff doesn't make the air because

369
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: it's offensive and it goes right to Cooper Loop and

370
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: then he ignores it. Justin in DC, Justin and Washington,

371
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: d C. I, for my money, dollar for dollar is

372
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: by far and away the very top of the line

373
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: when you whittle these things down, He's at the very

374
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 1: top of a prototypical joke rider. He is the quintessential

375
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: joke rider at this point. This guy Danny, he will

376
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: send in and I'm not exaggerating here, fifteen to twenty

377
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: jokes a week, fifteen to twenty jokes a week, and

378
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: they're all great. He loves the show. He listens every

379
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: night to the show and the podcast, and so he

380
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: writes jokes about people that call. He's he facilitates comedy.

381
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: Gold is what he does. Then we've got Mason and

382
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: Huntington Beach, another very funny man, and Chip in Maine.

383
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: Chip in Maine as well. Also Chip usually sends one

384
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: or two jokes in, just like Mason in Huntington Beach.

385
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: But those guys are very amusing, very funny, So we

386
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 1: thank all of them for sending jokes. This category, I'm

387
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: gonna give a lean towards Surfer Todd the comedian because

388
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: he's well known in this world, well known in this

389
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: world and to me, Justin and DC is neck and

390
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: neck with Surfer Todd and Gordon and Tacoma and Kurt

391
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 1: from Earth. It's a it's really a bottleneck in this division.

392
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 1: So there is that. And Danny, you have still been

393
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: part of the jokes. People do still jokes about you

394
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: from this podcast. You'll be happy to know. Nice. Yeah,

395
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: I hope they're racist jokes racist. Those are the ones

396
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 1: that don't get on the air anymore, but they are.

397
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: They're very offensive jokes. Roberto. It's funny bring up that

398
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: because Roberto asked for racist jokes, you wanted to read

399
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: them on the air, and we got a bunch of them,

400
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: but they were so racist we couldn't read them on

401
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: the air. Oh, those necros looking, I don't know what

402
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: you're talking about that. I have no idea. Next category

00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: is the best Mallaris song, Best Mallor song. We have

410

Speaker 1: on name brand values. You know, a lot of winning election,

411

Speaker 1: you have to have a high Q score. So I

Speaker 1: want to go just Josh and Jay Scoop as the

414

00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: is pretty lopsided, Danny, because we got a lot of

456
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: a lot of guys on the on the audience that

457
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: vote for these things that might be thinking with some

458
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: other things. Uh, I knew you were a Finley fanatic. Well,

459
00:28:54,400 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: Brian is a sex symbol. I think he's got this

460
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: in the bag. I would be shocked. This would be

461
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: one of the great upsets of all time. This would

462
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: be Team USA beating If that's a good that's a

463
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: good point because there are so many thirsty Mallord militia members. Yeah,

464
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: if you hear any female's voice all over me, they

465
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: stand to attention immediately, as if they've never heard of

466
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: female talk before in their entire life. Oh yeah, and

467
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: a female that knows sports, Oh my god, that's daily

468
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: double Danny. Well, she kind of knows sports well, she's learning,

00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: I personally happened to me, but it's my favorite. He

488

Speaker 1: I love the Taliban is also on there, which is

490
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: again out of context. I was doing a news story

491
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: and I'm coming out of the closet from hollering James.

492

Speaker 1: So that is a nominee. I got a great chance

493
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: to win. If I do not win, I will be annoyed. Yeah,

494
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: you have the Taliban on your side, you should win this. No,

495
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: I got a fifty percent chance. There are the only

496
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: other nominees other than me are Marcel Coop and hollering James.

497
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: And I'm coming out of the closet one from hollering

498
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: James is hilarious. It's absolutely hilarious, all right. Next up,

499
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: Female Caller of the Year. The nominees are Andrea, the

500
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: astrologer known as Virgo and Service or some people call

501
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: her the witch Lady. We love her spin cycle, Regina

502
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: Tammy in Montana and Rachel in Montabello. Are those are

503
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: the nominees for Female call of the Year and all. Yes,

504
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: you know I'm a I'm a woman, hear me raw? Right,

505
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: So this is tough because Tammy is beloved in the

506
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: Matta militia, but she doesn't call as much. She hasn't

507
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: really been calling that much. Spin Pycho Regina also loved,

508
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,959
Speaker 1: but she doesn't call that much anymore. Nito's Rachel I

509
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: would say Andrew has got an edge because she's put

510
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: the work in. She's she's made the call, she stayed

511
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: on hold, she's she's done what has to be done

512
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: to get on the air. But again, it's not about

513
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: the past three months, it's about the prior year. So

514
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: we're any of them more active back then? Well, Spinsycho

515
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: Regina was pretty active at the beginning of twenty twenty two,

516
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: so she was there and we had the great bit

517
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: where Doc Mike and her gig. I don't want to

518
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: say they hooked up, but right, yeah, they got together

519
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: a little bit. I don't know what happened. They don't

520
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: kiss and tell. That was some good radio. It sounded

521
00:32:55,920 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: like Regina was scared for her life. But anyway, the

522
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two beer Drinking Brian worst caller of the year,

523
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: the worst call year. It has been said Danny that

524
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: this is the most competitive category that we have and

525
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: all of these people super villains in the Mallard Militia.

526
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: You could have put about one hundred contestants in this category.

527
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: A lot of Dick Dastardly's in here right, a lot

528
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: of a lot of that, a lot of blockheads. We

529
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: love you, you're our blockheads, the Cobra commanders of the

530
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: Mallar Militia, the bad guys. We've got Poppy in San Diego,

533
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: and Marcel in Brooklyn. What I have no idea which

534
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: direction this is going to go. A lot of people

535
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: rip Andre, so I would say he's getting a lot

536
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: of hate. Marcel gets a lot of hate also, So

537
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: do those guys end up winning or is it a

538
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: poppy win? Like why this could go any direction? Thin

539
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: line between love and hate with Marcel. Yeah, there's some

540
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: really funny things that Marcel says, and then there's things

541
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: we chastise him about and it's like hell fire and

542
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: damnation from him. Yeah, so you are, you're right on

Speaker 1: once you left the show, Danny, a lot of those

547
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: Genie drops kind of went away because Roberto was not

548
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 1: around for when Gennie was in her heyday. So he

549
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,960

Speaker 1: fortune of being around on the show when Genie would

553
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: call up, Genie is an all time goat. There is

554
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: no way you can besmirch her name. One of my

555
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: favorite stories in radio the fact that she got arrested

556
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: for calling nine one one. She was just she was

557
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: just a lonely woman by herself. She wanted someone to

558
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,399
Speaker 1: talk to, and so she called the radio station, called

559
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: the police station, rather got arrested, and the police felt

560
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: pity on her, and they said, why don't you just

561
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: find you listen to the radio, call a radio show.

562
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,719
