Speaker 1: Ka boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes
Speaker 1: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House of
Speaker 1: Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
Speaker 1: with Ben Maller starts right now, what is in the bag?
Speaker 1: Well go man, the beginning of another edition of the
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny g Radio. That
Speaker 1: dogs licked that whole thing hanging out at the podcast
Speaker 1: do Joe as we yap your weekend away and Danny,
Speaker 1: we have survived the Friday podcast. We have made it
Speaker 1: through the Saturday podcast and now it is the main
Speaker 1: of a I'll give you a high five band, my hero.
Speaker 1: Are you ready for the mail bag? Let's go ding ding?
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna strike up the band. Here we go, Ohio, aw,
Speaker 1: set us up, man, set us up. It's all right,
Speaker 1: a great Ohio all a little lullaby from our man, Ohio.
Speaker 1: How so, let's get to it. These are actual questions
Speaker 1: by actual listeners. We love to interact with you it's
Speaker 1: my favorite podcast of the weekend. And people think I'm
Speaker 1: full of bullshit on that, but I'm not. I love
Speaker 1: the mail bag. You never know what you get. You
Speaker 1: tell me all the time that, asked Ben, is your
Speaker 1: favorite thing. No, no, no, we don't. I don't know
Speaker 1: what that is, asked and I don't even that's dead
Speaker 1: to me, asked Ben. It's all about the mailbag. It's
Speaker 1: all about the mail back, Danny. This is an original content.
Speaker 1: This has never been done before. No one else has
Speaker 1: the mail bag, nobody else. You know why, because on
Speaker 1: Sunday you get no mail, right, there's no mail on Sunday.
Speaker 1: The Postal service takes it off. But we get mail.
Speaker 1: We get mail. I'm not going to start graving Matt
Speaker 1: all right, here we go. First, one up on the mailbag.
Speaker 1: Marcus in San Antonio, the Alamo City where the Spurs
Speaker 1: used to win every year with David Robinson. Then Tim Duncan,
Speaker 1: who Now I couldn't name one player on the San
Speaker 1: Antonio Spurs anyway, uh, he says Benny Danigy. Over the years,
Speaker 1: you have had your regular callers, and some have lasted
Speaker 1: longer than others. Of course, these callers are part of
Speaker 1: the show and some I really enjoy the banter between
Speaker 1: you and the guys and the caller in the moment.
Speaker 1: My question, do you guys ever receive email from the
Speaker 1: listeners complaining about any one in particular? Asking because Andreas
Speaker 1: act of course talking about Virgo and service, and our
Speaker 1: friend Andrea uh says her act is has grown stale.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I cannot believe I'm the only one
Speaker 1: that thinks that I love the show. Podcast downloader Marcus
Speaker 1: in San Antonio, So thank you Marcus for that. So yeah,
Speaker 1: we've had people complain. There's some people that hate everyone
Speaker 1: that calls the show. Justin and Cincinnati can't stand anyone
Speaker 1: other than maybe Robbie, the Marina fan, I think, and
Speaker 1: possibly just Josh, but he had he hates everyone. Right now,
Speaker 1: if I were to tell you the guy that gets
Speaker 1: the most blowback among the callers, it is by far
Speaker 1: Marcel in Brooklyn with a wink and a nod just
Speaker 1: for scratch off all too good to be true. He
Speaker 1: he yeah, he gets he gets a lot of crap.
Speaker 1: So yeah, and I'm fine. I think these are these
Speaker 1: are these are guys that are fans of the show.
Speaker 1: I'm amazed that so many of these guys are willing
Speaker 1: to be dedicated. You really have to be dedicated. You
Speaker 1: stay on hold a long time, you don't get a
Speaker 1: lot of air time, like you really have to be
Speaker 1: motivated to make this a part of your life. You've
Speaker 1: got to be in a bit of a different league
Speaker 1: to be a call or a regular caller, because it's
Speaker 1: it's it's not the greatest set up, I admit it,
Speaker 1: but you can be radio show famous, which is kind
Speaker 1: of cool. So well, it depends where you're at in
Speaker 1: the payroll structure for your budget that is correct at
Speaker 1: the top. I mean, that's a month to be a
Speaker 1: phone actor on your show. So I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: we talk a lot of behind the scenes here on
Speaker 1: the podcast. A lot of people don't know you can
Speaker 1: earn up to twelve a month to be a regular
Speaker 1: caller on the Ben Mallard Show. You're not supposed to
Speaker 1: say the quiet part out loud, Denny. You're supposed to
Speaker 1: say that bad job. And and some people have pointed
Speaker 1: out that some of the characters that I use on
Speaker 1: my payroll have also I guess Covino and Rich have
Speaker 1: been using some of those same characters uh, just one
Speaker 1: Mark in because I answered the phones there, Mark in Medford,
Speaker 1: Mark the full name guy. Yeah, he's the only one
Speaker 1: that I know of that there's been that drunk guy
Speaker 1: to a couple of times, which one, uh just not
Speaker 1: limit the possibility day Paul Paul Paul, Oh Paul from
Speaker 1: Rhode Island, right plastered Paul Blastard Paul. He doesn't go
Speaker 1: by that, And of course Mark just uses Mark. So yeah,
Speaker 1: those are the two that I know of. You haven't
Speaker 1: gotten Marcel in Brooklyn. No, you know what, if you want,
Speaker 1: I can say, hey, Marcel, I don't don't we don't.
Speaker 1: I can help him out. We thought we were friends.
Speaker 1: We could get Andre from the Commonwealth to call you Andre. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he'll break it down with you. Good. No, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I I know people. Andrew and Fremont
Speaker 1: would be a nice flashback though. Andrew, he still calls
Speaker 1: the Overnight Show. Still he knows every baseball player imaginable.
Speaker 1: Outside of baseball, he's a little bit on basketball. He's
Speaker 1: like a trivia guy that Andrew right next up on
Speaker 1: the mailbag Craigster in Seattle Rights and he says, hey,
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny, g you guys are doing a great job.
Speaker 1: Please put together some sports cliches you've heard this week
Speaker 1: in the NFL. So he's looking for sports cliches, Danny here,
Speaker 1: any that you you had, These are like the whole
Speaker 1: cliche thing. It's pretty much the same whether it's the
Speaker 1: regular season or the playoffs. Playoffs, it gets intensified a
Speaker 1: little bit in the playoffs because you hear a lot
Speaker 1: of they're gonna have to play the best game of
Speaker 1: their season to to the next round. Yeah, well, there's
Speaker 1: there's there's certain things that coaches say that like the
Speaker 1: you know, I love they just made more plays than
Speaker 1: we did, you know, or like Staley when he said
Speaker 1: I only was out coached for a half. Yeah. The
Speaker 1: fun thing about the playoffs is you can't say we'll
Speaker 1: correct it or you know, we'll we'll fix it next week.
Speaker 1: You can't say that, so we had a really good
Speaker 1: week of practice, Ben, Yeah, And it's hard to say
Speaker 1: adversity makes you stronger when you've just lost. At least,
Speaker 1: we won't hear from Dave Roberts in the playoffs saying
Speaker 1: I really liked him in that spot, right, So we
Speaker 1: won't we won't get that. Uh, but like the halftime
Speaker 1: interview thing is hilarious to me because almost never does
Speaker 1: anything come out of that that makes you any better
Speaker 1: as a fan. It's like, it's either we need to
Speaker 1: play more consistently if we want to win this game,
Speaker 1: you know, or we have to get more stops on defense,
Speaker 1: or we just gotta score more points, you know, something
Speaker 1: like that. I could do the halftime interview. I watched
Speaker 1: so many these shitty halftime interviews. Let me tell the offensively,
Speaker 1: we just we just need more explosive place, you know,
Speaker 1: we gotta be more efficient with the ball. It's like, okay,
Speaker 1: how do you feel about those two turnovers? Get your
Speaker 1: fucking microphone out of my face. Forget about that. We
Speaker 1: just need to stop the run, we need a better
Speaker 1: job pressuring the quarterback, and we'll be okay. Right and
Speaker 1: then and then when you lose, it's like, well, I'm
Speaker 1: really proud of how these guys battle, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: really proud of how they battle. Our guys gave it
Speaker 1: everything they had, you know, and it's just it's great,
Speaker 1: that's a really good team over there, and that that
Speaker 1: team is a good team, that's a quality opponent. Right,
Speaker 1: we just didn't get the job done today. We didn't
Speaker 1: execute today. It's like, come on, is that enough cliches
Speaker 1: can be? Can we move? Have satisfied the quota for
Speaker 1: Craigster in Seattle? You know why Michael Parsons is one
Speaker 1: of my favorite defenders that he runs sideline to sideline.
Speaker 1: Oh is that right? Yeah, He's all over that field.
Speaker 1: You know what I like about him is he he
Speaker 1: focuses on the fundamentals. That's what I like. You know,
Speaker 1: It's all about the the fundamentals. Man, It's just really
Speaker 1: just that's what it's all about. This is a special group,
Speaker 1: by the way, Danny, this team is a special group.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna miss coaching this team. You know, this
Speaker 1: is a good team. The future is bright. Things are
Speaker 1: looking up all right. Moving on Mike from Fullerton rights in.
Speaker 1: He says, Hey, Ben and Danny g after saying you
Speaker 1: almost got killed driving to work in the rain, have
Speaker 1: the people over tire iraq dot com called to hook
Speaker 1: you up with new high performance wet tires. It'd be
Speaker 1: a really bad look for the tire iraq dot com
Speaker 1: studios if one of the employees can't drive in the
Speaker 1: rain due to crummy tires. How and and he says,
Speaker 1: how many scary moments have either of you had in
Speaker 1: a plane, train, or automobile? And we talked about this
Speaker 1: one time. Yeah, yeah, we've gotten into that. Thanks for
Speaker 1: listening to I appreciate that. And I'm still waiting. I'm
Speaker 1: sure tire rack will get to me at some point here, Danny,
Speaker 1: and they'll hook me up with the tires. Right, that
Speaker 1: will happen. I'll let you know what the discount code
Speaker 1: is because I'm actually gonna find out from sales if
Speaker 1: as employees we get a discount because Spot Coveno and
Speaker 1: myself for my wife's car, we all need new tires.
Speaker 1: So we just had a huddle about this a couple
Speaker 1: of days ago, and for some reason I got nominated
Speaker 1: to find out what the discount code is. You're the
Speaker 1: guinea pig. Yeah, they're like, you go ask. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: to let you know, Danny, but well, let me know.
Speaker 1: That'd be great because I absolutely listen. I tire rack
Speaker 1: dot Com is a great product, and it would be
Speaker 1: even better for those of us that work here and
Speaker 1: do all these commercials if they like give us a
Speaker 1: little well we'll discount would be nice. But they're already
Speaker 1: they're already very cheap as it is, I mean not cheap.
Speaker 1: The quality is not cheap, the prices are are outstanding.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm curious about that. But as far as
Speaker 1: ry moments, and we've talked about that a lot, most
Speaker 1: of mine involved automobiles. I only had one really crazy
Speaker 1: thing on a plane where we hit turbulence and my
Speaker 1: stomach was like in my in my brain, and it
Speaker 1: was it was wild, not a lot. I don't ride
Speaker 1: a lot of trains, so I really haven't had many
Speaker 1: problems with that. I've had a few trains breakdown and
Speaker 1: we've had to wait to get somebody to come let
Speaker 1: us off the train. That happened a few times when
Speaker 1: I did public transportation. But that's that's about it. So
Speaker 1: any any added stories you want to share? Should we
Speaker 1: move on, Danny, what do you think? I'll just recap
Speaker 1: mine really quick. I had told a story before about
Speaker 1: flying over the city of New Orleans and there was
Speaker 1: a thunderstorm right over the airport. So the pilot pilots
Speaker 1: just kept circling and circling and waiting. We were going
Speaker 1: to run out of fuel. They were making this announcement.
Speaker 1: Everybody's freaking out, So we had to land somewhere else,
Speaker 1: get fueled up, go back to New Orleans, and then
Speaker 1: circle the storm again. Ben. We were supposed to be
Speaker 1: there at like I think it was like a ten
Speaker 1: pm landing and we didn't get to the airport till
Speaker 1: three in the morning. That is crazy. What airport did
Speaker 1: you land at? Where your baton rouge or where do
Speaker 1: where did you land it? I don't remember the exact airport.
Speaker 1: I've only been to that city a couple of times.
Speaker 1: Was it our newest Fox Sports radio affiliate in Lafayette, Louisiana.
Speaker 1: The Goat? The Goat? How great and how great a
Speaker 1: name for radio? I know, that's awesome. Good job by
Speaker 1: their marketing people. The Goat. That's solid. That's in my
Speaker 1: top five, right up there with w NFL and Green Bay,
Speaker 1: which is another Billiant idea for a sports radio station.
Speaker 1: How to deal with Tom Brady to do the liners? Yeah, Brady,
Speaker 1: mother suckers, this is the Goat. Yeah I should have. Hey,
Speaker 1: this is Wayne Gretzky and you're listening to the Goat
Speaker 1: and this is yeah. Just have all goats do your
Speaker 1: liners or the other thing you can do is get
Speaker 1: a real goat and have the real sound effect, and
Speaker 1: and that would be another way to go as well.
Speaker 1: All right, next up Kevin in Kansas, right since says
Speaker 1: dear Ben and Danny, g I have an inside baseball,
Speaker 1: he says, in quotes inside baseball question about the show
Speaker 1: when you play the caller games involving the crew, how
Speaker 1: is the crew so good at giving clues? Do you
Speaker 1: create the game boards ahead of time so the crew
Speaker 1: is prepared or are you all well versed the so
Speaker 1: well verse that you know all these former athletes? He says,
Speaker 1: however you do it, I'm just impressed with all of
Speaker 1: your wisdom. Well done. So this has been a point
Speaker 1: of contention, Danny, you worked on the show for a
Speaker 1: long time. UM, trust me. We don't get the game
Speaker 1: boards in advance. Usually it's only a couple of minutes.
Speaker 1: If that lead time, I wish we got them earlier.
Speaker 1: I would I would feel much more comfortable. But normally
Speaker 1: what happens is Coop puts them together at the very
Speaker 1: last minute, literally the last minute, and sometimes as I
Speaker 1: am introducing the callers, I will be handed the game board,
Speaker 1: which I don't I don't like that too much, Danny,
Speaker 1: because I like to let kind of know and study
Speaker 1: the names. I've been able to pull it off, but
Speaker 1: I think I would do a lot better if I
Speaker 1: had a little more time. But we don't get a
Speaker 1: lot of time. One thing I really miss about working
Speaker 1: on your show is when I would be running your equipment.
Speaker 1: Coop would be sitting behind me with five minutes before
Speaker 1: the game, and he'd say, how about this for sixty?
Speaker 1: How about this or eighty? Men, I would miss a
Speaker 1: cue from you because I'd be listening to him run
Speaker 1: the board past me. I think it does work out
Speaker 1: better that nobody has the sheet in front of them
Speaker 1: until right before the game starts. Well that's one way
Speaker 1: to look at it, But I I would I wouldn't
Speaker 1: mind kind of perusing the list here and yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean maybe a couple of minutes with or. But you
Speaker 1: don't want somebody going online and writing down information next
Speaker 1: to each word what Eddie does in that little booth. Uh.
Speaker 1: We we cannot control another cheating scandal this week. If
Speaker 1: you missed it, Black Steve the second from North Carolina,
Speaker 1: Hey man, you might not notice, but I'm black said
Speaker 1: the S word and the F word. Now, what is
Speaker 1: the rule? Ben Danny, You've been with me a long
Speaker 1: time on the game shows. We came up with a
Speaker 1: rule you could only say one of those words, not
Speaker 1: two of them. Yeah, and if you if you you
Speaker 1: get one warning and if you say if you do
Speaker 1: it again, that's it, you lose the game. And Eddie
Speaker 1: is taking credit for a victory that his guy had
Speaker 1: such a potty mouth. Now Black Steve the Second said, Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm you know I was. I was high and that's
Speaker 1: why I did. But listen, those are the rules. And
Speaker 1: Eddie trying to break the rules. Bat up by him?
Speaker 1: How about shut up? Bat job by him? All right?
Speaker 1: Next up Chris in Maricocota, Iowa. Right, so he says,
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny g I am visiting my wife's family
Speaker 1: in San Francisco at the end of January, and the
Speaker 1: need that must eat locations in the Bay besides the
Speaker 1: usual in and out and Del Taco. Wow, I didn't
Speaker 1: realize Del Taco is on the list, Danny from Iowa.
Speaker 1: If you come out to l A or San Francisco
Speaker 1: yet del Taco, he says, any advice on the area
Speaker 1: or areas to avoid, Yeah, so downtown, you know, I listen,
Speaker 1: I haven't spent too much time in San Francisco last
Speaker 1: time I was there, though, Downtown San Francisco City proper.
Speaker 1: You don't want to spend much time down there. That's
Speaker 1: that's that's not good. But yet Golden Gate Park beautiful.
Speaker 1: There's the Sour Dough Bread place not far from that park. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that you gotta eat the sour dough Bread. The only
Speaker 1: restaurant I will say for me because of what I
Speaker 1: liked thet you gotta that. And I think this is
Speaker 1: the last location. I think the one in l A closed,
Speaker 1: The Stinking Rose. Have you ever been to the Stinking
Speaker 1: Role Yeah, Oh yeah, it's a it's a garlic. Everything's
Speaker 1: got extra garlic in it and any kind of garlic
Speaker 1: you could possibly want at the Stinking Rows. It's it's
Speaker 1: it's a little pricey, depending on how much you like
Speaker 1: to spend it. Restaurants. They used to have one in
Speaker 1: l A, but it closed because of COVID, and I
Speaker 1: don't think they don't think they reopened. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: know if they did not. As far as I know,
Speaker 1: they did not, But may I hope they come back
Speaker 1: because I used to go there. That's actually where I
Speaker 1: went when I got engaged Danny. That's where I took
Speaker 1: my my now wife. We went to the the Stinking
Speaker 1: Rose shocker. Yeah, yeah, that's uh, but it makes sense
Speaker 1: though everybody knows you get COVID from garlic. Oh, of course,
Speaker 1: there's no doubt. All right, what is next year on
Speaker 1: the mail bag? So sour dough bread end, the stinking
Speaker 1: ros those are the two. You get. The bread bull,
Speaker 1: the sour dough bread bull with the clam chowder in it.
Speaker 1: That's the move there, that's the move. Yeah, all right, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the website here and it says permanently closed,
Speaker 1: so I don't think there they'll be opening up the
Speaker 1: l a location. All right. Uh, waltz in the Valley
Speaker 1: of the Sun rights and he says, what happened to
Speaker 1: the frozen Tomahawks steak that Mr West of the four
Speaker 1: oh five gave you? That's question one. Well, we talked
Speaker 1: about that in a previous podcast. At the Christmas party,
Speaker 1: he demanded that we cooked the steak and he grabbed
Speaker 1: the steak out of the freezer and ended up cooking
Speaker 1: it at the party. Total dick move, but he did it.
Speaker 1: So the steak has been eaten. The steak is gone.
Speaker 1: He also says, well, when will these social justice warriors
Speaker 1: call for remain renaming the classic tomahawks steak? He says,
Speaker 1: what do you and Danny G think would be a
Speaker 1: good new name about the snowflake blood geer uh, he says, yeah,
Speaker 1: that has not been on the cancel list. The Tomahawks
Speaker 1: steak has not gotten to that. That list is that
Speaker 1: I know they got really Eskimo the Eskimo pie is
Speaker 1: gone and all those other things, but not the Tomahawks day.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he kind of named it there
Speaker 1: because it rhymes the snowflake steak. There you go, perfect, Well,
Speaker 1: you've answered your own question. Although it is interesting to note,
Speaker 1: Danny that in Atlanta the braves still have the tomahawks
Speaker 1: chopped right that the Yeah, so do the chiefs that arrowhead.
Speaker 1: Is it possible that the term tomahawk is going to
Speaker 1: be allowed still, that they haven't canceled, or it's just
Speaker 1: they haven't gotten to it yet. All right, Next up,
Speaker 1: I ring in. Okay, see on the mail bag, he says,

Speaker 1: I considered kind of a massage right for your you know,
Speaker 1: for my feet. I've gotten the the manny part of it,
Speaker 1: but the the full massage I've never gotten. Now, you
Speaker 1: told the famous story Danny about your now your now bride,
Speaker 1: Yeah and massages, which is an all time great story. Yeah.
Speaker 1: She got roughed up by by an Asian gal who
Speaker 1: I guess was attracted to her. She straddled her, took
Speaker 1: her clothes off of her, smacked her ass, uh, put
Speaker 1: her cupped her boobs with her hands, put hot stones
Speaker 1: in her butt. Crack t M. I an all time
Speaker 1: great massage. Um, And I've never got to go to
Speaker 1: a CD place like that. I'm married now, but when
Speaker 1: I was single, the closest I ever came to it
Speaker 1: ben As. I was dating this girl who was going
Speaker 1: to school to be a masseuse, and she even had
Speaker 1: that table, that special table. Yeah, she would bring the
Speaker 1: table over sometimes and she'd be like, I bet you're
Speaker 1: not gonna mind. I want to practice on you. And
Speaker 1: I was like, you can practice all you want. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my my wife actually has one of those those massage tables.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I never ended up. And I went to
Speaker 1: strip clubs and places like that back in the day.
Speaker 1: And when I first went to New York, they had
Speaker 1: all the peep shows and all that crap. But I
Speaker 1: never went to the massage where record companies would take us.
Speaker 1: When there would be like showcases and um junkets, they
Speaker 1: would always be like an event or a showcase of
Speaker 1: an artist at a strip club. There was never anything
Speaker 1: to do with massage parlors. So we never got the
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson treatment. It was always the uh, the Adam
Speaker 1: pac Man Jones treatment. Yeah, all right, I'll keep going
Speaker 1: to get a few more in here. Pierre not from Springfield,
Speaker 1: home of the Nay Smith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: where Muffett mcgraws and shrined. Then last week you spoke
Speaker 1: of your misfortune in the studio with the light as
Speaker 1: well as the microphone. As a long time p one,
Speaker 1: believe you know that your plight was obviously caused by
Speaker 1: mercury and retrograde. Ye, he says Pierre. My question to
Speaker 1: you and Daddy G is what other items have you
Speaker 1: broken in the studio over the years. So he now
Speaker 1: wants us to the statue of limitations has run out
Speaker 1: on this, so we can we can do it. So
Speaker 1: over the years, let's see, I've broken a lot of headphones.
Speaker 1: I've had some chairs where I've leaned back and they've snapped.
Speaker 1: That's not good. I at the at the Fox lot,
Speaker 1: we used to have studios. We used a lot over there.
Speaker 1: This was it doesn't really kind of something broken broken,
Speaker 1: but it was ruined. I sat in the chair and
Speaker 1: there was a little screw in the chair and it
Speaker 1: I kind of slid off the chair and it ripped
Speaker 1: my pants up and down the leg. And I then
Speaker 1: had to walk out of the Fox lot with all
Speaker 1: these big TV and executives and all this and my
Speaker 1: pants were ripped, and I tried to walk out of
Speaker 1: an emergency like staircase, but you could walk down the
Speaker 1: emergency staircase, but you still had to walk through the
Speaker 1: main entrance and exit. And it was like I was
Speaker 1: trying to walk with my butt against the wall because
Speaker 1: I didn't want any to see that. You'd see my otherwhere,
Speaker 1: and it was that was pretty bad. What about you, Danny? Uh?
Speaker 1: You know, I've never turned the network off like wrong button, Bob.
Speaker 1: That's the greatest. Oh, that's an awesome story. We'll tell
Speaker 1: on another episode. You know, the mic has come off
Speaker 1: in my hand a couple of times, but that wasn't
Speaker 1: me that that's happened several times in our older studio.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I've never like broke something egregiously
Speaker 1: where it was like, oh my god, this broke and
Speaker 1: I'm the reason for it. I haven't had my in
Speaker 1: the sun like you did a couple weekends ago. I
Speaker 1: was the incredible Hulk. I was he man. I had
Speaker 1: out of this world strength. I've had the mic fall
Speaker 1: off multiple times. I mean, you took out a light
Speaker 1: and you took out you wound up taking out not
Speaker 1: just the mic stand but you actually messed up the
Speaker 1: compression on the microphone. Yeah, that's the trifecta right there, Danny,
Speaker 1: I had the trifected, not the daily double. I had
Speaker 1: the trifector, man. Yeah, you should have did parlays after that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a three team parlay. Take it to the hissy.
Speaker 1: That is a win win win is what that is?
Speaker 1: What is that? All right? Let's see what else do
Speaker 1: we have? James from Altuna, Iowa writes, and he says,
Speaker 1: why are we still hearing the promo for the weekend
Speaker 1: podcast the Fifth Hour? Still says the Fifth Hour with
Speaker 1: Ben Maller and David Gascon, who he says, I know
Speaker 1: sometimes it takes a while, but it's been quite a while.
Speaker 1: What's up with that? Let's show Danny ge some respects.
Speaker 1: So this is a great mystery, Danny, is the I
Speaker 1: Heart Podcast networks so big that we don't much like
Speaker 1: that high school we talked about yesterday in Massachusetts where
Speaker 1: they can't turn the lights off, that we as a
Speaker 1: were a huge company, that nobody at the company can
Speaker 1: figure out how to switch out the podcast promo? Is
Speaker 1: it possible? I don't know where he's hearing that, because
Speaker 1: it's not from Fox Sports Radio. That's got to be
Speaker 1: something that was given to I Heeart a long time
Speaker 1: ago and they still play it. Uh, And that's got
Speaker 1: nothing to do with us, unfortunately. I don't know who
Speaker 1: needs to talk to them to get that fixed. But
Speaker 1: on our side, his name was cut out and it's
Speaker 1: just saying Ben mallor so I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: know the answer to that. And frankly, you and I
Speaker 1: don't have time to screw around with stuff like that,
Speaker 1: which we did. Yeah, but if you would like to
Speaker 1: give us more specific information, James, then we're not going
Speaker 1: to go in a goose chase. But if you give
Speaker 1: us more information then we can kind of cut down
Speaker 1: and see where things are next up. Terry from England says, hey,
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny g with regards to that's the third rail,
Speaker 1: mah my and the third rail, how and why does
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom maintain his power? What are people think? Well?
Speaker 1: That is the third rail, Terry, I can't explain it.
Speaker 1: I was convinced that the people of California would find
Speaker 1: a way to vote him out. The guy fucking lied
Speaker 1: to everybody during COVID and went out and had a
Speaker 1: nice meal at the French laundry. And the people are
Speaker 1: so stupid they voted him again. That is a that
Speaker 1: is a fire able offense. I don't even care if
Speaker 1: you vote another Democrat in, but not that fucking guy.
Speaker 1: And they put him in. And not only they put
Speaker 1: him in terry. You know, there's some of these political
Speaker 1: places are like that guy could be the next president
Speaker 1: of the United States. Gavin News God help us all
Speaker 1: if that's the case. My goodness, man, But yeah, that's
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what happened. You want
Speaker 1: to take that one, Danny, You want to hit that
Speaker 1: one out of the park that we're running out of
Speaker 1: time here? Oh my god. All right, you know what
Speaker 1: happens if we talk politics then we lose an overall
Speaker 1: point in the podcast rating. Yeah, we don't want that now.
Speaker 1: We don't want to be down to a four point six.
Speaker 1: This doesn't have the number one station anymore, is it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Jeff from Chandler writes in the Chandler As only says,
Speaker 1: why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?
Speaker 1: I love your work? Real question. We don't know Danny
Speaker 1: G's last name as a clue. He wants to know
Speaker 1: what is your ethnic background. Well, you've already said your
Speaker 1: name on the year, you've said your last name any times?
Speaker 1: Is that correct? And yeah, Well one side of my
Speaker 1: family is the Graudios. The other side is the gara Delis.
Speaker 1: The Groudios don't have much money. The garat Delis obviously
Speaker 1: have an empire. So I'm right in the middle, Ben,
Speaker 1: because I've explained before that my grandfather told me he
Speaker 1: just wanted us kids to be happy no matter what
Speaker 1: we did. It didn't have to be the family business.
Speaker 1: So I chose radio. It's kind of like garat Deliti money,
Speaker 1: but it's more fun. Yeah, exactly. Uh, Pat from Orlando,
Speaker 1: right scenes. Just do any of y'all have any interest
Speaker 1: other than sports? Well? Yeah, we we talked about these

Speaker 1: Cliff and Nashville says Ben, have you heard at any
Speaker 1: rumblings about Nashville and a major League Baseball team, Yes, Cliff,
Speaker 1: I know. A couple of years ago Dave don Browski,
Speaker 1: before he went to the Phillies, was working with a
Speaker 1: group in Nashville. And from what I've heard is once
Speaker 1: once Vegas gets a team, that the next city up
Speaker 1: in the pipeline to force other local cities to give
Speaker 1: taxpayer money is Nashville. That they're gonna take care of Vegas.
Speaker 1: And then the rumors are the Oakland Athletics are gonna
Speaker 1: move to Vegas and be the Vegas Athletics. And then
Speaker 1: if Baseball, if they don't get a stadium for Tampa Bay,
Speaker 1: that that team is in the queue to possibly go
Speaker 1: to Nashville. So keep an eye on that. So would
Speaker 1: the Moniker be the l v As? Oh that that's
Speaker 1: actually that's not bad. Yeah, they gotta keep the athletic nickname,
Speaker 1: don't they. And they've been around, They've been Kansas City, Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: You would think so. But that logo of the elephant
Speaker 1: take the bat out of its trunk and put one
Speaker 1: of those tall drinks that you get on the strip.
