Speaker 1: Cut booms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in.
Speaker 1: The air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with me, Ben Maller
Speaker 1: and my guy Danny g Radio. Who's going to win
Speaker 1: a Marconi Award for editing because this podcast sucks without
Speaker 1: the editing, trust me. But Dan, here, we are Sunday
Speaker 1: National Cupcake Day to day, so celebrate the cupcake appropriately,
Speaker 1: big cupcake fan. The cupcake is the ratio of the
Speaker 1: frosting to the cupcake. But the original cupcakes did not
Speaker 1: have frosting, and we should think fun fact here, Winston
Speaker 1: Churchill in the nineteen fifties was the first person to
Speaker 1: suggest that cupcake should be frosted. So it's really what
Speaker 1: you think of Winston Churchill his contribution politically and with
Speaker 1: global relations and whatnot. But no, it's the frosting on
Speaker 1: top of the cupcake. Ru ruugh. Yeah, well you look
Speaker 1: it looked kind of like a bulldog a little bit.
Speaker 1: Winston Churchill at the cupcake without frosting. To me, that's
Speaker 1: a muffin. And we also should point out, since we're
Speaker 1: on a cupcake here, briefly, Hostess began in nineteen nineteen
Speaker 1: and they began selling cupcakes, but they weren't like they
Speaker 1: I don't think they were like they are now where
Speaker 1: they have the they have frosting on the Hostess cupcake.
Speaker 1: I remember going when I was a little kid. There
Speaker 1: was a place I grew up in Orange County. There
Speaker 1: was a place in Santa Ana that was like a
Speaker 1: Hostess like clearance store or whatever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the outlet.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and that was like the greatest because we
Speaker 1: went in there and as a fat kid, holy crap.
Speaker 3: Those Hostess bread stores were so good. And I remember
Speaker 3: to get us to shut up while my mom was
Speaker 3: shopping for dal old bread. She would get us one
Speaker 3: Hostess treat and it would be so hard to pick
Speaker 3: from all of their delicious options they had in there.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And since we're on that, somebody sent me a
Speaker 1: link and I don't have it right in front of me.
Speaker 1: Because I know that would be preparation. But somebody sent
Speaker 1: me the link from one of these Instagram videos they had.
Speaker 1: Hostess was on there, but they had all these different products,
Speaker 1: what the ingredients used to be and what the ingredients
Speaker 1: are now. And it's shocking when you see all of
Speaker 1: the different ingredients to make the same foods like Hostess
Speaker 1: cupcakes and other things by these major companies. It's like
Speaker 1: it used to just be like four or five ingredients,
Speaker 1: but now it's like eight thousand different things that are
Speaker 1: you don't even know how to pronounce them, and all
Speaker 1: that is the random, random weird thing.
Speaker 3: Really quick? Do you go with the dark frosting and
Speaker 3: the light colored cake or the dark cake and the
Speaker 3: light colored frosting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I usually like the light colored frosting. That's usually
Speaker 1: my go to. But I'm not picky. I'm not when
Speaker 1: it comes to that.
Speaker 3: What about you? I think I'm with you. Yeah, because
Speaker 3: the chocolate cake I think is the best in it.
Speaker 3: It has the right amount of frosting. It's the perfect combination.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's that ratio, and that's like anything with cooking,
Speaker 1: it's that you've got to be able to combine those
Speaker 1: was it fat salt sugar like the right mix. And
Speaker 1: then you read the it's the Nirvana point, I think
Speaker 1: they call it, and that's what they study and all that. Well,
Speaker 1: it is sunny. It's an NFL Sunday today and the
Speaker 1: National footballing But it's a weird NFL Sunday for us
Speaker 1: because I'm a Ram fan. They already won this week.
Speaker 1: They won back on the third the night ers. You're
Speaker 1: a Raider fan, they don't play well, someone say they
Speaker 1: don't play a meaningful game till next year. But they
Speaker 1: do play tomorrow, play the Monday night. There's two Monday
Speaker 1: night games again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well it is a meaningful game for draft position.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and speaking of the draft, the Raiders are as
Speaker 1: Tony Bruno used to say, the Raiders are on the clock.
Speaker 1: And the guy that is projected to be the number
Speaker 1: one overall pick, congratulations Travis Hunter. Yeah, yesterday Travis Hunter
Speaker 1: took home the Heisman Trophy, the highest honor in collegiate football,
Speaker 1: a gala ceremony, and yeah, that was cool.
Speaker 3: Is his dad little Wayne? Why was Little Wayne so emotional?
Speaker 1: A Little Wayne must have been a lot of money.
Speaker 1: I don't know. But Travis outter wins out he wins
Speaker 1: the Heisman. That running back from Boise State Ashlee.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he's a baller. This is a good draft class.
Speaker 3: I'm excited already for the draft. I know, now let's
Speaker 3: talk about we.
Speaker 1: Have playing time to talk about the jet But.
Speaker 3: Well, no, but I wanted to ask you, would you
Speaker 3: would you? And I know you have a buddy now
Speaker 3: who works in the Raiders front office. Would you consider
Speaker 3: Maybe I know a lot of this is up to
Speaker 3: Tom Brady, but would you consider signing Sam Donald and
Speaker 3: drafting Travis Hunter so that Donald would throw to the
Speaker 3: law firm of Hunter, Bowers and Myers.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, yeah, it is. It is tempting. I
Speaker 1: don't believe in Sam Donald, so you're I'm not the
Speaker 1: right person to answer that, But if you get somebody
Speaker 1: like Sam Donald, who's kind of a mid level guy,
Speaker 1: you know whatever. Yeah, the idea of having Hunter and
Speaker 1: Bowers as you're is, Yeah, it's a tough spot. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have that.
Speaker 3: That would be a scary good as far as weapons go,
Speaker 3: that would be a scary good offense.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But Shoulder Sanders, if he's as good as he's
Speaker 1: supposed to be, and I know there's some debate about
Speaker 1: the draft. I was looking at mock drafts after the
Speaker 1: Heisman ceremony, and it it appears that there's some combination.
Speaker 1: Like Travis hunter most drafts, it's reaction here, it's going
Speaker 1: to change eight times. It's always annoying. Mel Kiper God
Speaker 1: bless him. He comes out with his mock draft and
Speaker 1: then he is rising and falling. You know, they up
Speaker 1: and down eight million updates, so everyone's a slow day
Speaker 1: in March they update the NFL Draft and all that.
Speaker 1: But Travis Hunters projected as number one pick. Some of
Speaker 1: the mock dress is an Arizona wide receiver whom I'm
Speaker 1: not familiar with too much. I didn't watch Arizona play
Speaker 1: much this year. Totaria McMillan, who's projected as a top
Speaker 1: five pick, Abdual Carter of Penn State, I've seen him play.
Speaker 1: And then you've got Mason Graham, defensive lineman, tackle guy
Speaker 1: from Michigan projected as a top five pick. And then
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks with Shaar Sanders and cam Word cham Ward.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, so far all arrows are pointing to cam
Speaker 3: Ord maybe going to the New York Giants, Shood or
Speaker 3: Sanders has a history of training in the off season
Speaker 3: with Tom Brady, so that's why he's been linked to
Speaker 3: Vegas already and other things with Dion and ap And
Speaker 3: every time the Raiders have lost Sanders on social media,
Speaker 3: he does the prayer emoji han saying thank God.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that is and you know, listen, I hate
Speaker 1: when this stuff happens. I ripped Eli Manning when he
Speaker 1: pulled the fast one to want to play for the
Speaker 1: San Diego Chargers and all that. He turned out to
Speaker 1: be an average quarterback. Eli Manning, but I ripped the
Speaker 1: Manning family. But Dion Sanders has a similar level of
Speaker 1: power as Manning the Manning family, so the Sanders family,
Speaker 1: I oh yeah, because because of Archie knew where everything
Speaker 1: was in the NFL. Dion's the same way. And if
Speaker 1: I hope, I like Antonio Pierce. I know the Raiders
Speaker 1: suck and they're terrible and people. It's easy to rip
Speaker 1: on a tannel Appiers. I'd like to see him continue
Speaker 1: as a coach of the Raiders, and I think giving
Speaker 1: him a fair chance with a good quarter they didn't
Speaker 1: have anybody I like Gardner Minshew. It didn't work out
Speaker 1: and things went really said they were his hand. I
Speaker 1: think was kind of forced on him to hire the
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator he did from the Bears, who've alreadys been fired. Yeah, getsy, getsy.
Speaker 1: So I if Dion is friends with Antonio Pierce, there
Speaker 1: is a scenario, there's a dimension in the multiverse where
Speaker 1: the Raiders draft Shooder Sanders or Travis Hunter for that matter.
Speaker 1: How about how about the draft Shooder Sanders and then
Speaker 1: trade Would you trade next year's number one pick to
Speaker 1: get Travis Hunter? Hell yeah, I would, and then have
Speaker 1: both of them and then have Bowers, Hunter and Sanders
Speaker 1: on the same team.
Speaker 3: Oh man, think about it. You know, I know Mark
Speaker 3: Davis listens to this podcast. Mark listen. You're in the
Speaker 3: AFC West. You have to do something bold.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're in Vegas. You need stars. Otherwise it's
Speaker 1: always just going to be fans of the other team
Speaker 1: that fill up the stadium.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: It's just like you need, you need. I know there
Speaker 1: are a lot of Raider fans in Vegas, but you
Speaker 1: got to you gotta make the effort. So anyway, congratulations
Speaker 1: to the Heisman winner Travis Hunter. And there's debate who's
Speaker 1: going to go number one. We have plenty of time
Speaker 1: in the sports talk radio world to figure all of
Speaker 1: that out, but he did. He was styling. I liked
Speaker 1: that blue that he had on there, Sudar Sanders, that
Speaker 1: was yeah.
Speaker 3: I liked the show. I watched it with our two
Speaker 3: boys and they both seem surprised that Travis Hunter won,
Speaker 3: and I said, you guys not been paying attention. He
Speaker 3: also just won College Player of the Year. I don't
Speaker 3: think it was such a shocking thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was an overwhelming favorite. If you look at
Speaker 1: the gambling market, it would have been a massive upset,
Speaker 1: and a lot of the Heisman voting is a reactionary
Speaker 1: type situation anyway, that's usually how it works. And we
Speaker 1: also had the Army Navy game. We had an upset
Speaker 1: Navy yesterday beat Army, and I saw Trump was there
Speaker 1: with the vice president like they were the price president elect.
Speaker 1: They were all all schmoozing there in Landover Maryland. And
Speaker 1: that was not much of a game. I mean it
Speaker 1: was it was within at halftime, I was like fourteen
Speaker 1: seven a Navy was up by a touchdown, and but
Speaker 1: you know, Army, I don't know, didn't do money. Only
Speaker 1: thirteen points in the game.
Speaker 3: So yeah, one sided. It was cool watching them sing
Speaker 3: the songs in the corner of the stadium with everybody
Speaker 3: in the yeah and their uniforms, and the Navy players
Speaker 3: are so excited jumping up into the stands. God bless America.
Speaker 4: We have the mail bag. You under the mailbag Sunday morning.
Speaker 4: It's time to roll it's bag.
Speaker 1: All right? Oh hi oh owl the great ohio ow
Speaker 1: h with the music. Thank you, sir anonymous, right sin.
Speaker 1: He says when you microwave, when you're microwaving popcorn, how
Speaker 1: come on the back of the popcorn bag, it says,
Speaker 1: do not hit popcorn button. But every microwave has a
Speaker 1: popcorn button. This sounds like a Seinfeld bit, doesn't It
Speaker 1: doesn't That sound like a science I don't understand. It
Speaker 1: makes no sense. I mean, you have the microom, you
Speaker 1: can't hit the button. I don't get it. You know
Speaker 1: that whole thing. But I think you have the answered. Anybody.
Speaker 1: Is there a reason there's something technical with the way
Speaker 1: the microwave is designed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it says it's basically a timer that popcorn button.
Speaker 3: It has a lower power level and doesn't usually cook
Speaker 3: it properly. I did research on this prior to the show,
Speaker 3: so somebody owes me five dollars.
Speaker 1: It says.
Speaker 3: The reason why most popcorn buttons are not recommended on
Speaker 3: microwaves is because the button needs to provide the proper amount.
Speaker 1: Of time you can light me on fire.
Speaker 3: Could be overcooked or undercooked.
Speaker 1: I did not know that. I did not. And one
Speaker 1: of the tricks that we've done is my dad used
Speaker 1: to do this in order of my dad will just
Speaker 1: get a bag, or we'll do it on the stove
Speaker 1: and we'll just put some kernels in there, a little
Speaker 1: avocado oil or something like that, little salt, boom, done.
Speaker 1: And then you point out I've talked about this in
Speaker 1: the past that when I started at the Premiere Networks
Speaker 1: back in the day, Premiere Radio Networks they were called,
Speaker 1: and then now it's the Premier Networks. And this was
Speaker 1: like a huge deal. Right at that time. The big
Speaker 1: stars of radio. They had Art Bell was there doing
Speaker 1: the overnights. They had Jim Rome syndicated show. Doctor Laura
Speaker 1: was a big star. Matt Drudge did a show on
Speaker 1: the weekends. These are Rush Limbaugh, These are big time people.
Speaker 1: There was only one rule when it came to the food.
Speaker 1: The one rule was you're not allowed to make popcorn
Speaker 1: at work. That was it because Craig Kitchen one of
Speaker 1: the great bosses, one of the great radio people who's
Speaker 1: now a big time agent, but he ran Premiere Networks
Speaker 1: and that was his rule. He did not like the
Speaker 1: smell of burned popcorn and out of bunds caution. He
Speaker 1: would not allow Danny anyone to make popcorn because he
Speaker 1: didn't want people to burn it because that is well,
Speaker 1: oh yeah.
Speaker 3: That hangs in the air for like two hours.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's wild. It's like skunk. You know, skunk sticks
Speaker 1: around also, But popcorn.
Speaker 3: Hey, I don't mind skunk.
Speaker 1: Hey exactly, but I'm bumpusty. Well the burn popcorn thing.
Speaker 1: But I remember the jiffy pop we would when I
Speaker 1: was a kid. I remember that absolutely on movie nights.
Speaker 1: But that you know, movie nights that was like VHS
Speaker 1: tapes we'd put into, you know, we'd go to the Blockbuster.
Speaker 3: Video or whatever. And what's that? I know?
Speaker 1: Anyway, Thank you anonymous. What is next to your carl
Speaker 1: and Maryland says, guys on we saw a McDonald's is
Speaker 1: selling squid game happy meals in Australia or either of
Speaker 1: you guys squid game people. Yeah, it is odd. The
Speaker 1: McDonald's thing. I don't know, like, is it big in Australia.
Speaker 1: It's a Korean show. I never I never really got
Speaker 1: into the squid games I saw. I saw one one time.
Speaker 1: I turned it on on Netflix. But it was very popular. Right,
Speaker 1: there's all kinds of other other spin off squid games.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they did a spin off. I guess it has
Speaker 3: a couple of seasons now or it's like a real
Speaker 3: game show. Nobody dies, unfortunately, it's like food coloring blasts
Speaker 3: in the person's chest and then they're dead. But and
Speaker 3: I told, I told my wife would have been better.
Speaker 3: I think if they used like a pellet gun to
Speaker 3: hit the person that was out or something something that
Speaker 3: invoked real pain. The actual TV show back when it
Speaker 3: was out, we loved it. But the contestants and this
Speaker 3: fake game show version of it not your thing.
Speaker 1: You're not going to be traveling to Australia to get
Speaker 1: a squid game happy meal.
Speaker 3: That's not nah. Now, I'd rather stand in line for
Speaker 3: a cabbage patch doll.
Speaker 1: Sure, that's the adult thing to do. Kevin in Nebraska Rights.
Speaker 1: This is in honor of animal Thundernome, which is when's
Speaker 1: that happening? Your kid's gonna CoA is going to do that,
Speaker 1: right you are sitting co up.
Speaker 3: That's good yeap CoA and Klay, Travis's youngest boy, they
Speaker 3: are going to team up to do that show in
Speaker 3: twenty forty.
Speaker 1: Can't wait. Can't Wait says Monarch butterflies may soon be
Speaker 1: protected by the Endangered Species Act, and then wanted to
Speaker 1: know what we thought about the protection of the monarch butterfly.
Speaker 1: It's always been a big issue. You imagine going to
Speaker 1: jail though, for taking down the monarch butterfly. That would
Speaker 1: be an odd way. What are you in for? Well,
Speaker 1: you know, I saw a butterfly and on one thing
Speaker 1: led to another, and then as well, you.
Speaker 3: Know what could protect these things? Man? If they build
Speaker 3: some freeway overpasses, that will protect wildlife like a butterfly
Speaker 3: at this one, not the one in my neck of
Speaker 3: the woods here. That's for mountain lions and bobcats. For
Speaker 3: a butterfly, they could build one straight into the sky
Speaker 3: like a skyscraper and then straight down like a ramp.
Speaker 1: Well, there you go, there you go. That's all that's
Speaker 1: all you need. Steven Rhode Island sent this. When he
Speaker 1: says Ben and Danny, oh no, he wants me to
Speaker 1: ask you this. See how many of the top ten
Speaker 1: Danny can get? These are in honor of Christmas. Now,
Speaker 1: this is not a list for Terry and England. This
Speaker 1: is a big board. It's a survey done. These states
Speaker 1: with the most and least Christmas spirit have been ranked
Speaker 1: and it has all the states. Now, if you're interested, Danny,
Speaker 1: how many of the top ten can you guess? And
Speaker 1: we won't spend more. I'm gonna send a timer on this.
Speaker 1: We're gonna set three. We'll give us three minutes. What
Speaker 1: do you think three minutes is enough time?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Probably?
Speaker 3: More?
Speaker 1: Even need three minutes here? All right, let's see at
Speaker 1: these have the timer. It's a year worth of Google
Speaker 1: search data popular festive keywords, including things like Christmas carols,
Speaker 1: holiday recipes, Christmas lights, displays, et cetera, et cetera. Okay,
Speaker 1: so that's they set off Google analytics. All right, clear,
Speaker 1: you're on your way. You got to him as many
Speaker 1: as the top ten as you can get, and we're
Speaker 1: on the way and go all right, here we go.
Speaker 1: We're playing the game with Danny. G right, now go ahead.
Speaker 3: We see a shit ton of lights in our neighborhoods
Speaker 3: every year. So I'm gonna say California.
Speaker 1: That is in the top ten. California was number nine.
Speaker 1: All right, good, you're doing good. You got California number nine.
Speaker 1: Very good?
Speaker 3: All right? And now I'm going to think of like
Speaker 3: some states that are cold where people bundle up. Maybe
Speaker 3: they're snowed in. Uh, let's go to the drone state
Speaker 3: of New Jersey.
Speaker 1: New Jersey. All right, now, New Jersey is in the
Speaker 1: top ten.
Speaker 3: New Jersey.
Speaker 1: Ow, good job, you're two for two. Jersey is number ten,
Speaker 1: number ten.
Speaker 3: I'm thinking Ravens. I'm thinking Lamar Jackson in front of
Speaker 3: an open fire with his yulelogue. Maryland.
Speaker 1: All right, yes, that is correct. You that is number seven?
Speaker 3: Are you cold? I'm thinking NFL teams? Now, okay, no,
Speaker 3: wait to do it. Let's see okay, Russell Wilson. You
Speaker 3: can see him with his hands in his pocket thing
Speaker 3: that he wears around his waist. I'm gonna say, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: All right, you are four for four. You cheat. I
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on.
Speaker 3: I am not cheating.
Speaker 1: Hold of say so you've gotten ten nine eight, and seven.
Speaker 1: You're you're almost.
Speaker 3: See if I was cheating, I would have started in
Speaker 3: the top five.
Speaker 1: Well you did get Pennsylvania out of order. But you've
Speaker 1: got ten and seven. So there are what are their
Speaker 1: six left?
Speaker 3: Here?
Speaker 1: These are again if you're just tuning into their live
Speaker 1: covers on the Fifth Hour podcast live on tape. Top
Speaker 1: ten states for Christmas related searches. So the greatest Christmas Spirit?
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm thinking the mcallisters home alone. That's Chicago, Illinois.
Speaker 3: I think Christmas. I do think Chicago because of that
Speaker 3: classic film.
Speaker 1: All right, that is number four. So yeah, look at that.
Speaker 1: Well you're now four? What are you five for five?
Speaker 1: You bastard? How dare you.
Speaker 3: Shoot? All right? I'm thinking of more NFL teams.
Speaker 1: Never happened.
Speaker 3: This is no we get some scratch some scratcher tickets.
Speaker 3: All right, okay, here we go.
Speaker 1: How about Florida, Florida the Sunshine State and Florida.
Speaker 3: No, damn it, my first miss, Your first.
Speaker 1: Miss Florida is not in the top ten. Florida. They
Speaker 1: see page down.
Speaker 3: They don't have holiday spirit there.
Speaker 1: Those old people just want to hang on, chill.
Speaker 3: Out, I figured, you know, because they get to visit
Speaker 3: their grandkids and all that that is true.
Speaker 1: Out of time, I know you're yourself twenty seconds.
Speaker 3: One seconds. Okay, I'm thinking a big state. How about Texas?
Speaker 1: Texas is number six? All right, hell yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1: Good job, all right Texas.
Speaker 3: Shoot, I don't even know if I know any more
Speaker 3: of the.
Speaker 1: Fifties state second nine seconds, nine seconds, four three two
Speaker 1: Washington State, Washington state, that is in there. That is
Speaker 1: number number five. Unbelievable you time Washington number five. So
Speaker 1: you got in three minutes one two, three, four, five, six,
Speaker 1: seven seventy of the top ten. Good job by you.
Speaker 3: Up at you, Danny.
Speaker 1: Florida, by by the way, number twenty one. Florida was
Speaker 1: number twenty one. Ones that you did not get the
Speaker 1: top three, number three Virginia. Virginia was number three, number two. Massachusetts,
Speaker 1: the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is number number two, which is
Speaker 1: odd to me because some of the states around there,
Speaker 1: like Vermont is number forty three, main is number forty four,
Speaker 1: not very high up on the list. Some states right
Speaker 1: around round that big one and then number one, number
Speaker 1: one number that would be the state where the Mormons
Speaker 1: live are friends. The Mormon state of Utah. Utah is
Speaker 1: number one. Jay dot in Utah and all his homeboys there,
Speaker 1: So that is at.
Speaker 3: The very crazy. I didn't even think about Utah.
Speaker 1: Yep, Utah is at the very top. And so there
Speaker 1: you go, New York. If you're wonning number three teens
Speaker 1: some other states, we do ball in the people that
Speaker 1: download the podcast. Well, actually the last month, Louisiana of
Speaker 1: All Things was a top five podcast downloading. Louisiana number
Speaker 1: thirty six in terms of that, and we're good Minnesota.
Speaker 1: Want you to find Minnesota here because we got a
Speaker 1: lot of listeners in Minnesota, number thirty. Minnesota was number thirty.
Speaker 3: By the way, Holler and James called into the Covino
Speaker 3: and Rich Show last night.
Speaker 1: Oh way, really you got it? He did James out
Speaker 1: of that go.
Speaker 3: They only talked to him for like twenty thirty seconds.
Speaker 3: That pretty funny because before they took the call, I
Speaker 3: told them I'm like, just so you know, this is
Speaker 3: a Mallard militia legend you're about to speak to Oh wow, okay,
Speaker 3: And of course he talked to Sam Darnold in the Vikings.
Speaker 1: Wow, I'm gonna I'm gonna yell at him when he
Speaker 1: calls me tonight. You know, James, you cheating on me? Man?
Speaker 1: What the what the hell is you know me like that?
Speaker 3: I mean, what the heck?
Speaker 1: Man, what's going on with that?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: Let's see what else do we have here? Mike writes
Speaker 1: in from Frozer, He says, dear band and Danny g
Speaker 1: congrats on landing the huge squatty potty sponsorship. Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: very excited about that, really the perfect sponsorship. The only
Speaker 1: thing I'm upset about with squatty potties. I should be
Speaker 1: the one doing the live reads. I should be the
Speaker 1: one doing the live reads, he says, Mike. It's my
Speaker 1: new favorite Fox Sports radio advertiser. I'm a little worried
Speaker 1: all the potty talk will give people the urge to
Speaker 1: use the bathroom, though, Have either of you ever had
Speaker 1: to hold it in for an entire segment, or even worse,
Speaker 1: you abandon your post on the live air to use
Speaker 1: the powder room? Shall we say? He also says, also,
Speaker 1: after the tremendous success of the Simpsons NFL game, that's
Speaker 1: a lie. It was terrible. Is there any cartoon you'd
Speaker 1: like to get an NFL partnership with? He said, I'd
Speaker 1: love for Sailor Moon to get one. As far as
Speaker 1: the cartoon thing, I would say Family Guy would be
Speaker 1: perfect to have that crew just goof on the NFL.
Speaker 1: But the NFL pretty sensitive. I don't know that they
Speaker 1: would go for that, so that would be a problem.
Speaker 1: But Family Guy would be perfect. As far as the
Speaker 1: other question, I have never had that happen. I've been
Speaker 1: able to time it. I don't eat during the show.
Speaker 1: I used to eat during the show, but I don't
Speaker 1: eat during the show. I don't really do anything other
Speaker 1: than drink water so I can hold my bladder to
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom for the breaks. There is a
Speaker 1: famous LA radio story. A afternoon host in LA when
Speaker 1: I was a young lad famously had to go whatever
Speaker 1: he had eaten that day, and he missed about forty
Speaker 1: minutes of his show shitting in the bathroom down the hall.
Speaker 1: And it was such an epic shit the FM station
Speaker 1: down the hall the legend of the and I was
Speaker 1: not there that day, but the legend. This was in
Speaker 1: a big office tower on the eighth floor, and you
Speaker 1: can't open the windows, you know, his office tower, and
Speaker 1: so they brought fans in to try to redirect the smell.
Speaker 1: From the bathroom. It was that horrendously. I don't know
Speaker 1: what the guy ate or anything like that, but that's
Speaker 1: one of the famous stories in the history of LA radio.
Speaker 3: Geeze Man did a chicken, a whole chicken die side
Speaker 3: of the guy.
Speaker 1: I don't know Man, I was there, but yeah, they
Speaker 1: put rules in place on like where you could do that.
Speaker 1: You had to go to the far bathroom if you
Speaker 1: really had to go, and it was like a hole
Speaker 1: a hole to do. Man back. And the great thing
Speaker 1: about we can't do this at Fox, but on local
Speaker 1: radio you just fill in extra commercials, You just put
Speaker 1: extra spots in, you know, but you can't do it
Speaker 1: for forty one minutes. You can only do it for
Speaker 1: so long, and then eventually you got to somebody's got
Speaker 1: to get on the microphone.
Speaker 3: And yeah, yeah, you have like forty two and a
Speaker 3: half minutes of talk time on our network. So that
Speaker 3: would have killed an entire hour on your show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would have done the whole hour, and then
Speaker 1: that's that you had any issue. I know, in music radio,
Speaker 1: you just put well, I was a jazz DJ when
Speaker 1: I started, and there was a Branford Marsalis tune smooth
Speaker 1: jazz and it was like eighteen minutes, and that was
Speaker 1: always the bathroom song. If you had to go, you
Speaker 1: hit that.
Speaker 3: Boom and yeah yeah. On hip hop radio you would
Speaker 3: play sugar Hill Gang.
Speaker 1: How long is that?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: I think six and a half minutes.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good.
Speaker 3: That's pretty good for rock. For rock radio back in
Speaker 3: the day when we were kids, you played Guns n' Roses,
Speaker 3: November Rain, November Rain. Okay, yeah, that's like ten minutes.
Speaker 1: I know there's a holiday there's like a Thanksgiving song
Speaker 1: about a diner. I forget the name of it, but
Speaker 1: it's really long. It's like fifteen minutes or something like that.
Speaker 1: It only gets played at the Holliday and Gotta Davida No,
Speaker 1: I don't remember. Anyway, Thank you Mike and Frozerton. And
Speaker 1: you're getting a lot of love on the tire rack commercials.
Speaker 1: As you know, al from the TikTok right since says
Speaker 1: greetings gentlemen, Ben, have you done dog training with Moxie
Speaker 1: and Luigi? Also? Have there been any internal discussions within

Speaker 1: We might have to find Luigi somewhere else to stay. Unfortunately, Moxie, though,
Speaker 1: is great. Moxie's wonderful. We tried to train Luigi, and
Speaker 1: Luigi is very stubborn and does not believe in following
Speaker 1: the training. But as far as Karen kay, I did
Speaker 1: reach out to KK as you know alf when I
Speaker 1: got Moxie, she was very excited. Unfortunately, she lives in
Speaker 1: another state. She's not in California anymore, and I text
Speaker 1: her every once in a while see how she's doing,

Speaker 1: When you guys record this podcast, what's the scene like,
Speaker 1: are you boys in the same room, can you see
Speaker 1: each other? Or are you guys at your houses? As
Speaker 1: someone with zero background or radio or anything like that,
Speaker 1: can you please describe the pod atmosphere. So, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: in my studio, my remote studio, Ryan, that's what we
Speaker 1: call it, the mal a remote studio. And on my left,
Speaker 1: I have let me look here, let me check this out.
Speaker 1: I have a very expensive microphone. I have a com
Speaker 1: Rex unit that connects to Fox Sports Radio. I have
Speaker 1: a voice processor. I have a mixer, some expensive headphones,
Speaker 1: power supply, backup, power supply. And then on my left
Speaker 1: I have another set of headphones, another expensive microphone. I
Speaker 1: have a mixer. I have a bunch of cables and
Speaker 1: that's my podcast side that I use. And then Danny,
Speaker 1: you're in your own studio right You're you might want
Speaker 1: to put some clothes on there. Danny's kind of embarrassing
Speaker 1: what you're wearing.
Speaker 3: You can't see me, but I can see in front
Speaker 3: of me. I have a big bump box bumpity bum
Speaker 3: music in the garage until the neighbors bang on the walls.
Speaker 3: And above that is an LA Dodgers twenty twenty championship
Speaker 3: clock solid and on that same shelf a Lakers twenty
Speaker 3: twenty championship wine bottle that I got from Lebron's collection.
Speaker 3: And he's got so much wine he doesn't miss it.

Speaker 1: What's the best Christmas honic a gift you ever received? Ben,
Speaker 1: you were asking about Malor show merch ideas. Other than
Speaker 1: a non specific T shirt for the show, I think
Speaker 1: beer koozies would be perfect, especially given that a larger
Speaker 1: portion of the audience is doing what they're doing while
Speaker 1: listening during the night. I would definitely buy a few. Also,
Speaker 1: been how shocked or taken aback? Where you when Lorena
Speaker 1: accidentally said the city of the Malor mansion? While any
Speaker 1: of us who have lived who listened for a while
Speaker 1: and lived in Soca already had a good idea, I
Speaker 1: would have paid to see your face when she said that. Thanks,
Speaker 1: there you go, Scott in Northern Kentucky. Yeah, Lorena just
Speaker 1: blurted it out.
Speaker 3: Geez, did you give your Social Security number? Two?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've tried to explain to Lorraina. I said, listen,
Speaker 1: I've had some issues with some crazy folks that like
Speaker 1: the show and liked me a little too much, So
Speaker 1: we try to avoid that, but fortunately Scott, I just
Speaker 1: moved after that, so I no longer live there. As
Speaker 1: a result of Loraina giving out the city I live in,
Speaker 1: I have now relocated days.
