No. 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:03.920 The single ratest night in overnight sports talk radio is 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:07.480 just a couple of days away. And this is a 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:12.400 global exclusive, Danny. The content we are providing today, no 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:16.800 one else has it. ESPN doesn't have it, CBS doesn't 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:21.080 have it, NBC nobody has it. We are the only podcast. 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:24.760 Joe Rogan doesn't have it, Adam Carolla doesn't have it. 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:29.600 Nobody in the podcast game has the content we are 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:33.520 about to provide. We paid for the rights, Danny. We 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:37.560 own the naming rights. We are the show of record, 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:43.880 the only pregame show that matters. For the twenty twenty 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:50.720 three Benny's celebrating marginal overnight talk radio in the sports format. 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:55.200 And I'm so excited. This is amazing, Danny. How lucky 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:57.560 are we to be here? I know, I even have 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:00.880 a sponsor card here in my email inby It's brought 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:05.680 to you by Rhodo Router. Dude, Now, do you have 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.000 your your gift bag of good east? Do you have 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.840 your gift bag of goodies? We've got diapers in the bag. 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:12.440 I look at that. What else is it in there? 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:16.400 A bottle of whiskey? Look at that stick. Yeah, there's 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:18.640 some chap stick in there. That's pretty good. There's a 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:22.880 hair replacement product. Uh, there's a boner pills that's in 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:26.320 there as well. So there's a bottle of urine in here. Well, 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.280 Doc Mike made sure he wanted everyone to be welcomed 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:32.520 with open arms. There's a mandolin from Dick and Dayton. 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:37.480 Look at that, a mandolin, Dixter. That's a that's crazy. 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.200 This is an amazing goodie bag. What a great goodie craft. 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:43.720 This is a big one. Oh what is that? What 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:46.240 is that? What do you guys? Is that? I think 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:50.000 that is a I believe that's one of blind Scots canes. 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.560 I think that's one of his jes right there? Why 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.200 is that in there? I thought it was for stickball, 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.800 h cow cowboy. And Winter's got some old newspapers he's donating, 0:02:59.880 --> 0:03:04.040 so that's exciting. In the goodie bag and what's hollering 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:08.200 James is giving us some old pill bottles from as 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:13.440 many medications that he takes. I'm a doctor. So this 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:18.240 is the pregame for the main event. We've got proper palooza, 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:22.960 the nominees please, and then whatever else we have time for. 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.000 Maybe we'll get the pop quiz maybe well, maybe we'll 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:29.840 get the scientific goal. Maybe we won't. But it just depends, right, 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:31.960 depends how much time we have. So we begin with 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:35.280 this though the fifth Hour with Ben Mallard and Danny 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.480 g Radio. We are all dressed in the night. Danny, 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:40.080 you've got your formal outfit on right there. You're looking 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.640 at a solid People can't see you because it's a podcast, 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:46.160 but trust us and we are just a couple of 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.440 days away from I got to repeat this the greatest 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:53.520 night in overnight sports talk radio, the twenty twenty three 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:58.040 Benny Awards, celebrating the contributions of men, women and children, 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:02.040 well mostly men from around the globe who have helped 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:07.480 cultivate content. And really these are people that are influences, Danny. 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:11.000 The people that are nominated are influencers. It has been called, 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:16.920 and rightfully so, the single pinnacle event, the seminal event 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:21.160 of the show. And we all come together, we pat 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.800 each other on the ass, and we say how great 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:26.880 we are and all that. It is a tradition unlike 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.160 any other. As Jim Nance might say, a toe tapping 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:33.159 good time. It's like a trip to the hooting nanny, Danny. 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:36.159 It's like a trip to the hooting nanny. And so 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:40.680 this is the pregame show. Consider this the red carpet galla, 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:44.280 all the glits, all the glamor. You never know what 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:48.839 Felexus is gonna wear, for example, or our friend Mark, 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.880 the full name guy in Medford, Oregon. You just don't know. 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.839 But we will be mixing, and we will be mingling. 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:57.960 I've never seen Coop in a suit before. I know 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:00.120 he's but look at that. He's got a b all 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.000 in his pocket. Though even though he's warning the suit, 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.039 he's still got the ball with him. I wish I 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.080 could pull off those suits. So that's good to see. 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.120 Roberto's wearing a chef's hat for cooking with Roberto, so 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:14.359 he's got that on. Eddie's looking at some old hockey magazine. 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.760 I don't know why he's doing that. He's in a 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.480 walking boot like Kevin Durant. Though it's a bad job 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:25.040 by him. Shame on him. How about shut up? So anyway, listen, 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:28.520 get to the point. Please. We like gambling on this show. 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.840 We knew Benny versus the Penny during football season, so 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:36.800 I thought, why not a proper palooza. Danny and the 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:40.160 Mallard sports Book is open for business. I have put 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:45.480 together with help from consultant's connoisseurs of offshore sports books, 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:49.280 we have put together some prop bets for the twenty 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.719 twenty three Bennies. Are you prepared? I did cast my 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.800 vote a couple of days ago. Oh really, would you 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.279 like to share who you voted for? No? No, no, 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.320 that's well, that was gonna be my next point. Okay, 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:06.279 I have more than one Gmail address. Oh my next 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:09.800 vote could be bought. I'm just saying. And you can 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.039 send money. You can venmo the money. Is that what 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:16.440 you'd like? You prefer Venmo yes? Yes? Or zell or cash, 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:20.920 just straight cash. There's no paper trail. Great cash, that's right. 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:23.640 So these are prop bets we've come up with for 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:27.919 the twenty twenty three Bennis. Consider this your companion to 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:32.000 the Benny Awards. We have this prop bet will there 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:35.760 be a wardrobe malfunction at the Bennies? Will anyone have 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:39.719 a wardrobe malfunction? Yes? Is plus five thousand, so there's 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.080 a less than two percent chance. I think that's a 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:47.000 value play, Danny, because you know, we have we have 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:50.039 some people that are a little loose on the show 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:55.160 that that might win a Benny, right, and and so 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.039 be careful on that. And you know, we we could 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.920 put together like a Nickelodeon style obstacle cours. Somebody could 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.520 get covered in green slime and then they might take 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:07.919 their clothes off. So that's always a possibility. Does seeing 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:13.640 Flexus's toes count? Uh, it's fine because it's only seven toes. 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.040 It's like seven and a half toes, So that's perfect. 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.880 That that's you know, that's okay, missing two and a 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:22.080 half toes. Here's another profet. How likely is a pie 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:25.400 to be thrown into the face of a nominee yes 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:29.960 is plus two fifty. That's a seventy percent chance or 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:34.760 a thirty percent, But mainly because of furg Dog. Burg 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.960 Dog's a clown. I wouldn't put it past furg Dog 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:42.040 to throw a pie in his own face. That guy's 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:45.480 That guy's a knucklehead. Here's a here's another prope that's 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.960 pretty good. Which hard luck loser is most likely to 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:53.640 have a hissy fit? Brian bill Brian Billick, that's a 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:57.440 good one. Now, Marcel is a minus two eighty favorite, 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:00.960 ourselves a minus two any favorite. As you know, Danny, 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.520 you've been in this game for a long time. You 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:07.480 know how this works, and it's a very emotional event. 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:13.080 Motions run high. Yeah, people really put a lot into this. 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.000 It's a big deal. It's a big deal to win 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:18.240 a Benny. And if you get this close and you 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:20.720 don't win, man, is that a kick to the nuts? No. 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:24.800 And I saw a list of snubs on Bleacher Report yesterday. 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:28.400 I was mentioned in the article because I think this 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:32.200 is like doing taxes. Instead of thinking of the actual 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:36.400 year that these Benny Awards are four people, think of 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:40.360 what just happened right now prior to Covino and Rich 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:45.040 who was Coop's fill in guy, the microphone throttler. It 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:48.480 is a travesty, It is an injustice. It is one 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:52.280 of the great miscarriages of justice in the Western world. 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:54.240 Danny g that you were not included in that, and 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:57.640 you are correct, you are. I'm not gonna say that. 0:08:57.720 --> 0:08:59.560 There are not a lot of notes that are taken 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:01.560 throughout the years, so people can go back and look 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.760 at some of the great moments. But it just seems 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.839 that if you've made more of an impact, it's a 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:09.800 little bit of a cheat code for next year's Manies. 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:12.960 If you've made an impact within the last like two 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.840 and a half months prior to the Bennies, yea a 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:21.000 competitive advantage. You have a leg up on everyone else. 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:25.000 Like there's people that did great stuff, wonderful stuff on 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:30.359 the show back in May of last year, June April, 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:35.600 and it gets lost in the haze the battlefield, the 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:39.679 fog not of war, Danny, because we're not doing war, 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:44.440 but it's the fog of radio of sports talk radio, right, 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:49.439 and people become prisoners of the moment, right, That's what 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.160 always happens here, prisoners of the moment, and so that 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:56.520 is also that's also part of So just back to 0:09:56.679 --> 0:10:01.239 that away. As we continue are in debt, team coverage 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:05.000 and more recency bias on this. These are actual prop 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.960 bets from the Mallow Sports Book. As we try not 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:11.160 to jump the gun on this, we have I think 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:14.080 one or two more. We have who is most likely 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:18.040 to go woke at the acceptance speech for the winning 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.040 the award? Now, this is always a tough one because 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:24.000 we have a lot of hardcore, buttoned up guys. I 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:28.000 would say that Justin and Cincinnati and Jed who fled 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.440 obviously they are the long shots. But if Justin gets 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.840 all liquored up or smokes too many joints, I could 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:39.160 see that Jed who fled he's one injection away from 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:42.439 going full woke. But I gotta put Plastered Paul from 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:46.920 Rhode Island as the favorite if he were to win. Benny, 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:50.520 because we've already he's like Archie Bunker, which is an 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:56.240 outdated reference Danny, but let's just say he's aging, he's 0:10:56.320 --> 0:11:00.400 an old fogy and he has no there's no mute button, 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:05.280 there's no filter. He's unfiltered. He's raw with his commentary. 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:10.280 I also feel like though Justin and Cincinnati, he is 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:14.320 an undercover w NBA fan. I know this about Justin. 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:17.120 He loves the w NBA. Doesn't talk about it a lot, 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:19.960 but he's a huge fan. So if and when he's 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:24.160 on the stage accepting his award, he might say that 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:30.320 the w NBA players deserve equal pay. Yeah. Well, the 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.959 other thing about Justin and I don't know, he's probably 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:36.839 not gonna like that. I'm giving this out into the 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:42.160 cosmos here on the podcast. But for years, our man 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:45.560 Justin and Cincinnati has been a huge Meghan Rapino fan 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:50.040 who women's soccer. He actually told me when he was 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:54.640 a kid he loved women's soccer and his entire life. 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:57.840 He's just continued that he really likes the rainbow haircuts. 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:01.040 He thinks that that really just pushed it over the top. 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.960 So as we understand it, he's a huge fan of 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.520 women's soccer. So that's a that's a great take in 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:09.840 women's basketball too. And people think of Justin as being 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:13.360 like a neanderthal and a caveman and all that stuff. 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:18.439 But no, no, he's a nuanced man that Justin and Cincinnati. 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:22.760 Very complex. Yeah, exactly, He's like a Rubric's cube. It's 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.520 not easy to solve. Not easy to solve. So last 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:32.080 prop bet, what will happen if Brian Finley does not win? Now? 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:37.360 Favorite is and he's up for filling of the Year Daddy, 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:41.320 and the I'm looking at the odds here from the 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:44.360 Offshore book, what will happen if Brian Finley doesn't win? 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:48.880 A crowbar attack is plus one fifty, So that's a 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:52.880 forty percent chance that there'll be a crowbar attack dropping 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:57.800 a piano on my head. That is a minus one 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:02.680 seventy five favorite, So that is a sixty three percent chance, 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.920 sixty three. So those are some of the odds on 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:12.040 on the Benny some of the props. Now, how about 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:14.440 the nominees. We should go point by point through the 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:17.679 nominees one more time so you can hear all of 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:21.880 the nominees if you have not voted yet, and I'm 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:25.160 tweeting out this podcast, and I will make sure below 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:27.920 the podcast link on my Twitter page and also the 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.679 Facebook page, I'll make sure to include a link so 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:33.000 you have another opportunity if you haven't voted yet, and 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:36.439 if you've already voted, as Danny pointed out, just get 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.880 another Gmail account. Boom, you can vote again. Now, is 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:45.040 there a way to write in somebody on the ballot? Oh? God, no, no, 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:49.520 come on the dopey, stupid Chiefs ball Award show. It's 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:53.280 wrong with you, Danny? How dare you? There is prestige, 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:55.360 There is absolutely prestige. There's a bit of a clout 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.280 that comes with this. You get a street credit in 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:59.480 the malle Militia, which is exciting and all that stuff. 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:01.240 But it's not like you win this and you all 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:03.440 of a sudden you're gonna become a captain of industry 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.240 or an aristocrat or anything like that. But there is 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.040 no write in ballot. What kind of radio show are 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:12.199 you guys doing? So the nominees. Here we go. Let's 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:15.400 get to the point. It is the nominees and why 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.760 they matter. Okay, why they matter? The nominees for the 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:23.840 twenty twenty three Bennies celebrating marginal overnight sports talk radio 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:27.760 in the year twenty twenty two. These are the ones 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:31.720 that stood out and just to be nominated, My god, 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:35.880 what an honor? What in honor. So few people in 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:40.360 the world ever get nominated for the Bennies. And you 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:43.560 think about all of the people that lived, all of 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:46.400 the people that have been part of society and humanity, 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:51.800 and never were they nominated for a Benny. It's just 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:54.240 absolutely studying when you think about all the big name 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:57.680 Babe Ruth never got nominated for a Benny. Lebron James 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:00.800 has not been nominated for a Benny. Tom Brady never 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:06.640 nominated for a Benny. It's craziness. Yeah, Abraham Lincoln never nominated, 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:11.200 George Washington never nominated for a Benny. Vladimir Putin not 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:15.960 nominated for a Benny. I can go on, Ben, congratulations 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:21.640 the nominees please for Rookie Caller of the Year. The 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:28.880 nominees are Andre in Massachusetts aka the Commonwealth, fer Dog 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:35.400 in southern California, Poppy in San Diego, Alameter Lou from 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:41.360 the Bay Area, and Andy the comic book guy in Pasadena. 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:47.360 So I did notice on this category, Danny handicapping the category. 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:52.800 It is very heavy towards California. Yeah, only one of 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:56.040 the candidates on one of the nominees is not from 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.480 the Golden State. Andrea and the Commonwealth is on an 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:03.520 island by himself, and he's a polarizing caller too, Danny 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:07.040 g because there's a lot of the guys who tweet 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:10.640 the show are upset with Andre. They don't like him, 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:13.600 they think he's a thief in the night. I don't 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:16.360 know why. It just rubs people the wrong way, I guess. 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.760 But you've got furg Dog. I would put furg Dog 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:25.600 as a favorite just because he's so active. I gotta 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:30.280 think Poppy in San Diego. Also because he's called a lot, 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:31.800 he's been part of the show. So I think those 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:37.080 also for worst caller of the year. Yes, yes, that's 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:39.000 the beauty of the show. You can be not only 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.160 the rookie of the year, but also the worst caller 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:45.120 on the show. You can wait. Awards says a lot 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:49.400 about your show. How dare you winner? Covino and Rich 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:52.040 doing their awards show? Is that next week? That? All right? 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:56.520 Best game show contestant, that's the Dan Patrick show that 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:59.920 steals your content. I've heard that, but I had no comment. 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:05.479 Best game show contestant, You've got Matt in Phoenix. Now, 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:08.680 this guy's a phoenion, this guy's a prodigy. This mad 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:12.000 in Phoenix. I learned this week on the show, Danny 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:15.920 that Matt, who's twenty five years old, he's been listening 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:20.480 to the show since he was thirteen years old, so 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:23.639 he's been pretty much grown up with you when you 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.400 were part of the show and with me, and now 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:29.920 he's fifty seven years old. Now, oh no, no, I've 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.000 only been doing radio for like five years, but he's 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:34.040 been he's been listening before I was even on Fox 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:38.399 Sports Radio and amazing run Mad in Phoenix. He was 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:41.000 from Illinois. He lives in Phoenix now going to school. 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:44.240 And this guy is up for Best Game Show Contestant. 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:48.280 Also the man that was part of a cheating scandal, 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:54.040 Justin in Cincinnati. And I gotta tell you, Danny, if 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:59.160 Justin ends up winning, that would be very deflating because 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:04.960 he was part of such a despicable thing on this 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:09.280 show with Eddie Garcia on the Overnight show, to the 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:13.119 idea that he would be rewarded, it would be the 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:18.680 equivalent of the cheating as assholes getting credited with winning 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:22.480 the World Series. But again, it's what have you done 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:25.600 for me lately with these awards? This is not really 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:28.720 the beginning of twenty twenty two that your listeners are 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:33.160 thinking about right now. Yeah, no, is that is accurate, 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:36.240 But that was six months. The suspension was six months. 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:39.879 It carried most of the year. We have Uncle Mo. 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:45.600 Uncle Mo is the sparky Anderson of the Overnight Show. 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:50.840 He sounds like he's in his sixties or seventies, but 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:55.199 he's only in his I believe twenties, and he's like 0:18:55.240 --> 0:19:01.680 a trivia savant guy. It's insane the amount of random, 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:06.080 meaningless sports tribua that Uncle Mo has in that brain 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:09.360 of his. It really is. He's one of the nammies. 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:11.760 Who else do we have? We have Mitchell in Ohio 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:15.359 as a gag and Mason the Millennial, So those are 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:19.280 the other two that are there. Mitchell is one of 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:23.880 the funniest people that play these games, but doesn't even 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:26.800 realize that he's funny. Danny, you know what I mean, 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:31.720 Like he says stuff where he's not trying to be funny, 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:35.520 but everyone in the room cracks up and has a 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:40.840 belly laugh at the expense of our friend Mitchell in Ohio. 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:44.160 Those are the best kind of comedians. Yeah, it's it's 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:47.240 a windfall. When he's on the air, it's an absolute windfall. 0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:50.359 And he doesn't even realize it. The next category, and 0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:53.880 in that category I do have Justin and Uncle mos 0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:58.240 Co favorites, but I'm pulling from Uncle Mo. I do 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:00.280 not have a say in this, but I am from 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:05.280 Uncle Mo. Best Instant AdviceLine Caller is the next category. 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:08.879 And people have said the instant Advice line is like 0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:12.960 an audition. It's like a tryout for the main main show, 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.280 a dummy run, if you will, which is perfect any 0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:17.439 because our show has a lot of dummies, right, we 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:19.160 have a lot of dummies on the on the radio show. 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:24.040 So the nominees for Best Instant Advice Line Caller, we 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:28.640 have Whoopee Pie Blair's impersonator where he says it's too 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:32.720 much masturbation the problem here. That's a good one. That's 0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:36.120 a solid one. We have. I know it's you, Roberto guy, 0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:42.119 yeah with his creepy serial killer voice, Fudgie Como from 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:46.920 Boston who does the funny fudgie voice, Sean the Hood 0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:51.000 guy who's been very prolific at the Instant AdviceLine, and 0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:55.760 Angry Bill speaking of dummies, Well, he's just a nut 0:20:55.760 --> 0:21:00.640 from Nutley, New Jersey. What about a nine year old girl? Yeah, yeah, 0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:04.360 that's the guy. And in this category this is too 0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:08.440 tough to call. I I would give an edge to 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:13.440 the Whoopie Pie impersonator, But Fudgie this is his this 0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:17.200 is his wheelhouse here, Fudgie, this is his special special thing. 0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:20.320 So I would say Whoopie Pie impersonator or Fudgie. And 0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:22.440 I haven't seen the number, so I don't know who's 0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:25.840 who's leading, and I don't I purposely did not look 0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:27.280 at the numbers because I want to go into this 0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:30.920 and to give my opinion as we go through this. 0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:35.760 Oh I did at thirty Now I'm just kidding, all right. 0:21:36.280 --> 0:21:42.159 Next up another very competitive category, Best Lame Joke Writer, 0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:47.360 Best Lame Joke Writer. Ooh, this is competitive. Yeah, this 0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:50.840 is a tough category. This is another difficult category because 0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:56.040 there's so many people that are just wonderful at sending 0:21:56.119 --> 0:21:59.000 jokes and they've improved the show. They've made the show 0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:03.520 more enjoyable, they've upgraded the content. So I do think 0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:06.440 everyone that sends jokes in, even the people that aren't 0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:10.840 funny who send the jokes in. But the nominees for 0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:13.479 Best Lame Joke Rider of the Year, we have Gordon 0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:16.960 in Tacoma, Gordon's been with the show a long time 0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:19.280 as a joke rider. Usually sends two jokes a week 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:22.320 in and they're both pretty good. Normally they both make 0:22:22.359 --> 0:22:26.960 the air. Ozzy Momentum, who is a sporadic joke rider, 0:22:27.080 --> 0:22:30.240 but when he jokes very funny. Surfer Todd, the comedian 0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:35.120 he's been in studio. We love Surfer Todd and he's 0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:38.040 a volume joke guy. He normally sends four or five 0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:42.040 jokes a week to the show. Anthony and Anaheim, who 0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:46.119 is sporadic. He's one of the nominees. Gary from Youngstown, 0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:50.800 Ohio another prolific joke rider. Gary's sent a lot of 0:22:50.880 --> 0:22:53.200 jokes over the last year, although not recently. He got 0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:54.880 upset with me at the end of last year when 0:22:54.880 --> 0:22:58.000 I missed some joke days and so he stopped sending 0:22:58.119 --> 0:23:00.480 jokes in for now, but I'm sure he'll be back. 0:23:00.960 --> 0:23:05.440 Georgie and Rochester, Minnesota. George normally sends just one joke 0:23:05.480 --> 0:23:08.960 a week in and it typically does get on the air. 0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:16.639 Kurt from Earth is another volume joke sender, very funny guy. Normally, 0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:18.680 a lot of his stuff doesn't make the air because 0:23:18.680 --> 0:23:21.440 it's offensive and it goes right to Cooper Loop and 0:23:21.480 --> 0:23:26.000 then he ignores it. Justin in DC, Justin and Washington, 0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:30.920 d C. I, for my money, dollar for dollar is 0:23:31.080 --> 0:23:36.320 by far and away the very top of the line 0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:38.680 when you whittle these things down, He's at the very 0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:42.880 top of a prototypical joke rider. He is the quintessential 0:23:43.320 --> 0:23:47.320 joke rider at this point. This guy Danny, he will 0:23:47.359 --> 0:23:51.600 send in and I'm not exaggerating here, fifteen to twenty 0:23:51.680 --> 0:23:55.919 jokes a week, fifteen to twenty jokes a week, and 0:23:55.920 --> 0:23:59.760 they're all great. He loves the show. He listens every 0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:04.119 night to the show and the podcast, and so he 0:24:04.160 --> 0:24:08.520 writes jokes about people that call. He's he facilitates comedy. 0:24:08.560 --> 0:24:11.639 Gold is what he does. Then we've got Mason and 0:24:11.760 --> 0:24:16.960 Huntington Beach, another very funny man, and Chip in Maine. 0:24:17.320 --> 0:24:21.320 Chip in Maine as well. Also Chip usually sends one 0:24:21.400 --> 0:24:24.160 or two jokes in, just like Mason in Huntington Beach. 0:24:24.760 --> 0:24:28.879 But those guys are very amusing, very funny, So we 0:24:28.960 --> 0:24:34.199 thank all of them for sending jokes. This category, I'm 0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:38.600 gonna give a lean towards Surfer Todd the comedian because 0:24:38.600 --> 0:24:42.080 he's well known in this world, well known in this 0:24:42.119 --> 0:24:44.600 world and to me, Justin and DC is neck and 0:24:44.720 --> 0:24:49.080 neck with Surfer Todd and Gordon and Tacoma and Kurt 0:24:49.160 --> 0:24:53.880 from Earth. It's a it's really a bottleneck in this division. 0:24:54.200 --> 0:24:58.439 So there is that. And Danny, you have still been 0:24:58.480 --> 0:25:00.760 part of the jokes. People do still jokes about you 0:25:00.840 --> 0:25:04.040 from this podcast. You'll be happy to know. Nice. Yeah, 0:25:04.400 --> 0:25:08.960 I hope they're racist jokes racist. Those are the ones 0:25:08.960 --> 0:25:10.919 that don't get on the air anymore, but they are. 0:25:10.960 --> 0:25:14.520 They're very offensive jokes. Roberto. It's funny bring up that 0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:18.280 because Roberto asked for racist jokes, you wanted to read 0:25:18.280 --> 0:25:21.920 them on the air, and we got a bunch of them, 0:25:21.960 --> 0:25:24.320 but they were so racist we couldn't read them on 0:25:24.359 --> 0:25:29.080
