1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:01,480
Speaker 1: Kabooms.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 2: of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: Wow.

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.

10
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler

11
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: and Danny G Radio Happy Week eight. I know he

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: actually started back on Thursday with the Buccaneers getting that

13
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: cover even though the Bills won the game. But Danny,

14
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: we got football action all day to day. My la

15
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: Rams taking on the Dallas Cowboys, and the schedule. It's

16
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: a decent, decent card today. Your Raiders though not playing.

17
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: Of course, you could argue they haven't played all year,

18
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: but they're not. They're not playing. They play tomorrow day,

19
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: so you don't.

20
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 3: They played in Week one with some heart and attitude

21
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,279
Speaker 3: and kind of unraveled from there. But hopefully that extra

22
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 3: day will give Jimmy G some time to fix his back.

23
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: Anytime for Josh McDaniels to fix how he coaches the team.

24
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: Is that possible.

25
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 3: No, He's never gonna fix how he coaches. The team

26
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 3: is going to have to win in spite of having

27
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 3: Josh McDaniels as their coach. Yeah.

28
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: So the three games that I am most interested in today,

29
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: and I know this is the kind of content that

30
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: people want, but the three games that everyone needs to

31
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: know I'm going to be locked in on.

32
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 3: This is my official pregame show, Ben, So do your best,

33
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 3: Jimmy the Greek.

34
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: All right, So the gambling stuff, by the way, the

35
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: TV show we go, oh in the Big Apple today.

36
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: This is our Sunday Big Apple slot. We have locked

37
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 1: down the coveted eleven thirty am New York City time

38
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: slot on SNY. So I just wanted to get that

39
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: out of the way early. And that's all football, all picks,

40
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: all the time, Benny versus the Penny. But I've got

41
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: three games that I'm dying to watch. Jacksonville and Pittsburgh.

42
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: I saw Pittsburgh. I was at the Steelers game last week.

43
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: Here they were in LA which was like an extra

44
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: home game for the Steelers against the Rams. So the

45
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: Steelers play Jacksonville. It's supposed to be a rainy day

46
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: in western Pennsylvania. I'm looking forward to watching that game

47
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: Bengals and forty nine Ers, although it would appear that

48
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: the quarterback situation is going to be in complete upheaval

49
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: with Sam Darnold, who sucks playing quarterback for the Niners,

50
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: but Beginner's lucking out against Joe Burrow. So that's the

51
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: second game that I'm jones in on. And the third

52
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: game that I am looking forward to watching today is

53
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: the Dolphin Patriot game because these teams played. Now, the

54
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: Patriots sucked their two and five, but they played the

55
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: Dolphins pretty tough back in Week two. They were only

56
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: down by a touchdown with about eight or nine minutes

57
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: to go in the game, so they were right there.

58
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: They were right there, and I want to see if

59
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: they can They won last week, so did they have

60
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: the hangover from that or and the Dolphins got clocked

61
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: by Philadelphia. They've got a bunch of injury problems, so

62
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: we'll see. We'll see what happens with that. And then

63
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,279
Speaker 1: those are the three and then a little bit Cleveland

64
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: and Seattle. But I can't get too excited about Geno

65
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: Smith versus PJ. Walker. I can't get two worked up

66
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: about that.

67
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 3: So did we miss out?

68
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: Oh, that's right before. That's why we mustered. Okay, so

69
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: we complained. We pointed out the podcast download numbers were

70
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: not great last week, that they went down. It's a problem,

71
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: it's a bit of an issue. So we went over

72
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: all that and let's see, did they go up. I'm

73
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: gonna say they went off.

74
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 3: They did go up. Instead of missing thirty percent of

75
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 3: our normal Sunday audience, we lost fifteen percent.

76
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: So we gain fifteen percent, but we lost from what

77
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: we had been doing fifteen percent. So that's not good.

78
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: That's not so maybe we'll stop the mailbag.

79
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 3: No, no, I don't know, you know, because for the

80
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 3: eighty five percenters, that's you listening right now. Yeah, you know,

81
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 3: we salute you. It's worth getting up early to entertain you.

82
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 3: And this is your official NFL Sunday pregame or postgame.

83
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 3: So we'll keep doing it, all right, Well, very kind

84
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 3: of you, Unlus, it's in our contract and we have to.

85
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: Do it unless we're contractually obligated to do the podcast.

86
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: But I read the fine print on the contract. It

87
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: doesn't say how long the podcast has to be. We

88
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: always do about a half an hour, because that's how

89
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: long people generally work out for if they're on the

90
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: treadmill or something like that, it's about a half an hour,

91
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: so we usually go with that. But this is our

92
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: Sunday podcast, so you know what that means, Danny. It's

93
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: first email comes from Dave listening in Boston. He says,

94
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: congratulations guys on the Sports Hub winning the Marconi Award, Bend.

95
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: Do you get a ring with that? Yes, I'm sure

96
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna hook us up with a ring. Did you

97
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: see this, Danny? This week the sports Hub in Boston

98
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: was named the Marconi winning sports radio station, and the

99
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: overnight show all four hours are carried on the sport

100
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: It's up ninety eight point five in Boston. So as

101
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: Dave knows about this, but I pointed out on the

102
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: show that since all four hours are carried by the station,

103
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: that we actually get sixteen point six percent of the

104
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: Marconi Award because I'm covering sixteen point six percent of

105
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,239
Speaker 1: the talk radio time that is available on that station.

106
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 3: So that'll be your portion of the trophy.

107
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: Anything. If they want to send me like a little

108
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: miniature trophy, I can put that on my shelf here

109
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: in the studio. I'd be cool with that. But to

110
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: answer the question, Dave, I'm pretty sure the management at

111
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: the Sports Hub in Boston have no idea who I am,

112
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: so we don't have to worry about that. Next up

113
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: is Mike listening to us in Minneapolis. This has been

Speaker 1: and Danny g Which are your old school callers do

115
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 1: you think would still be popular today? That's kind of

116
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: a generic question, Mike. You Oh, it's got to be Genie,

117

Speaker 1: Genie's timeless Genies. Yeah, Genie's like the Bambino. You know,

119
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 3: I miss her breaking news calls. She would call in

120
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 3: to tell us the big news that she was in

121
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: the liquor store.

122
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: You'd better give me that good stuff. Yeah, it was big.

123
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: And then she had like her neighbor who was her

124
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: drinking buddy, would come over and then every once in

125
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: a while she'd hand the phone to him. They'd be

126
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: drinking on the porch. Hello, Joe, Hi, I like the Saints.

127
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,560

129
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: been vandalized, it is La after all. But there's a

130
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: park bench at Swan Boat Swan Lake Boat Park, or

131
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,960

136
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: was a big part of the show for many, many years.

137
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: I would also say though that Jimmy Ray from Tampa Bay,

138
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: Jimmy Ray, Jimmy Ray was like the male version of

139
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: Genie and Medford and love Jimmy Ray, and he got sick.

140
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: He also he's dead too, uh, and then some like

141
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: the Boston Hitter. I think we've lost him recently.

142
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 3: And I missed the pencil neck guy.

143
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: Pencil neck Ray. Yeah, pencil necks.

144
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. We used to have the bell and we would

145
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,719
Speaker 3: keep track of how many times he said pencil neck

146
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 3: in one rant.

147
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, damn, pencil neck was good. There's there's a

148
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: bunch of other ones. Spin Max used to call me

149
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: back in the old days. He was great from Ohio

150
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: and we had MotorCity Mike from Detroit Troy, the gaming

151
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: man from Nashville was it was a lot of fun.

152
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: Lance the bus driver used to be a regular caller.

153
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: He was nuts and we had a good time with Lance.

154
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: And I'm sure there's others that I am. I am

155
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: forgetting bad job by me, but there were many. I

156
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: think these callers would I think that most of them

157
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: would cross over because they never talked about sports. It's

158
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: none of these people. They all they all talked about

159
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: random nonsense, random other stuff. So next up is Steve.

160
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: It's the mail back Steven Philly writes, and he says,

161
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny g love the podcast. I started watching

162
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 1: Benny Versus the Penny, and that's how I found the podcast.

163
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: He says, you guys should come to Philadelphia do a show. Sure?

164
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: Why not, Dan, Why don't we just go to Philadelphia?

165
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 3: Right?

166
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: You want to go to Philly for a weekend, We'll

167
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: do the show from there. It doesn't cost any money

168
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: to go to Philadelphia. And I'm sure we have tons

169
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: of listeners. I know we have Fats, I know from

170
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: the radio show Fats in Philly, although he didn't call

171
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: much anymore. And we've got a few other people that

172
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: interact with us. Anyway, Steve says, question is where you

173
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: guys have both been in radio a long time. Where

174
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: do you see the business going fifteen years from now

175
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: with podcasting crossing over? Well, podcasting has already crossed over,

176
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: but radio for now, I guess I'll go first date.

177
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: But radio for now has more people listening. So here's

178
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: the way I look at I mean, I can't believe

179
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 1: fifteen years from the holy crap, we're old now, Danny, wait,

180
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: fifteen years, my god. But to answer the question from Steve,

181
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: it's really a question of the delivery. I've always said that,

182
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: like the delivery vehicle, how you get it's audio content

183
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: human beings, like hearing other human beings talk. It's we

184
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: do we just we want to hear from stories. We

185
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: learn from stories. And so whether traditional radio as it

186
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: is conceived right now, I think fifteen years it'll be here.

187
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: But whatever device, Like television, a lot of people watch

188
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: TV on the internet. They're not watching it on an

189
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: old tube TV. They don't even have those anymore. But

190
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: they're still television. It's just in a different form. So

191
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: radio I'll still call it radio. People in the business

192
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: don't like that term. It'll just be the delivery vehicle.

193
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: And the problem with podcasting is it's not live. Like

194
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: the great thing about radio, it's live, there's someone there.

195
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: You've got a shitty job and you're working and there's

196
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: no one around. You're working by yourself, and you hear

197
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: someone talking and you can like eavesdrop in into conversation.

198
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: Or if you go through a breakup and you're alone

199
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: and you know you know family, you can cuddle up

200
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: with the radio. But it's actually a live person there

201
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: that's talking while you're listening. So I think that there

202
00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: always will be that. What that delivery vehicle. I don't

203
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm not smart enough for that. What about you, Dany

204
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: What do you think fifteen years from now that would

205
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 1: be twenty thirty eight?

206
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 3: Wow, that's crazy. I mean, we're still going to have

207
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 3: really good content. I think everything will hold steady as

208
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 3: far as the hosts go. As far as the production teams,

209
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 3: that's another question, because we're losing producers and board operators

210
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 3: by the dozens every year. I wish there was a

211
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 3: union ben for the production side of radio.

212
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: And now there is Danny and New York because I've

213
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: worked out of fan and New York and the iHeart

214
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: Building in Manhattan, and that is a union shop, so

215
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: they pay good money there.

216
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 3: Nice and see that's got to spread to some other

217
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 3: major markets in major cities. Now. Granted, there are some

218
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 3: lazy shits that got into radio somehow and don't deserve

219
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 3: pay raiss, But for the passionate people in radio to

220
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 3: bust their asses every day to put out a really,

221
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 3: really good product, they deserve to be paid better. So yeah,

222
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 3: I hope that that changes with radio in the next

223
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 3: fifteen years.

224
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: Well, it's gonna have to change, and the people that

225
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: run the radio business are gonna have to realize this.

226
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: You're competing. You should never be in a position where

227
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: you're losing people to People should want to leave their

228
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 1: jobs to come to your job, not you know what

229
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 1: I mean, not the other way around. So you gotta

230
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: take care of your people. I mean, that's just the

231
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: basic thing, right I would think, thank you Steve, George

232
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: and Uvaldi Texas rites. And he says, since you are

233
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: using the three studios, Yeah, I posted a thing on

234
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: Facebook with the three stooges on the Ben Maler Show

235
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: Facebook page to try to lure people into post questions.

236
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: George says, who do you like better the Stooges, the

237
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: Marx Brothers or Abbott and Costello. So I'm a Stooges guy.

238
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, they would TV sew but

239
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: one of the shows that got a lot of airplay,

240
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 1: especially on holidays, they would do three Stooges marathons. And

241
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: I liked the Stooges. They were able to take pancake

242
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: batter and make amazing things with the pancake batter, right,

243
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: it was just nuts. My dad was more of a

244
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: it was more of a like a Marx Brothers Abbot Costello.

245
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: It is cool though, as we pointed out on this podcast.

246
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: At Universal Studios, the parking garage I park at to

247
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: do the TV show is the Abbot and Costello parking garage.

248
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: And at the very bottom floor at Universal, I got

249
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: out and there's a there's a tribute. There's a sign

250
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: right inside the little court area courtyard area when you

251
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: walk out from the elevator, and it is a great

252
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: tribute to Abbot and Costello. It's pretty cool. That's pretty neat.

253
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: So like the history of them as a comedy duo

254
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: and where they had been and all this stuff, and

255
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: so that was kind of cool. What about you, Danny,

256
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: of those three, only those three where you at?

257
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 3: I have really good memories of my grandfather, Bill, who

258
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 3: was a World War two vet, came home with some

259
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 3: issues after the war, stayed locked in his garage with

260
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 3: bottles of whiskey, and what would be on his little

261
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 3: colored TV. It was either Baseball or the Three Stooges.

262
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 3: Nothing else. His programming on his little TV in his garage.

263
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 3: Three Stooges or Baseball. You know. I would sit in

264
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 3: the garage with him for a little bit and he'd

265
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 3: be laughing at the Three Stooges. Then he'd take another

266
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 3: swig of his whiskey. That was his jam. So later

267
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 3: in life I would watch Three Stooges and think of

268
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 3: that guy. Nice.

269
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: So it helps them out, give him something, smile at

270
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: it going well, and you see somebody doing the ipoke.

271
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: Ina got something right, We got something.

272
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 3: Nothing like having to move a baby grand piano. You

273
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 3: know that's a job for the Three Stooges. Yeah, it's perfect.

274
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 3: The hilarious slapstick antics. And those guys didn't make like

275
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 3: big money.

276
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: Larry Mow and Curl Man.

277
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 3: I read recently that for their pictures they were signed

278
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 3: up for eight a year and they had to split

279
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 3: sixty thousand dollars three ways.

280
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: Wow, that's crazy.

281
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 3: For each picture. That's nothing.

282
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: They were a vaudvillian comedy show right before they got

283
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: picked up by Hollywood and early early days of Hollywood.

284
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: But think how we talk about football players and all

285
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: these all these people complaining about the violence in football,

286
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: and how banged up these people's bodies. Are the Three

287
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: Stooges though they those they were not doing like stunt

288
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: double stuff. I don't think they were actually like slapping

289
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: and smacking and bonking each other on the head.

290
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 3: And oh yeah they had injuries from their from their

291
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 3: shows and their movies.

292
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: Yeh, for hardly any money. And even now they've been

293
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: dead for how many years, but we still see their image.

294
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: It's crazy anyway. Mike in Spookerton writes in he says,

295
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 1: trick or treat Ben and Danny g I think I

296
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: know two possible reasons why the Sunday Mailbag downloads were

297
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: lowered two weeks ago. Somehow that episode was uploaded out

298
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: of order. According to Mike, if you check the podcast page,

299
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: it comes before that week's Saturday episode when it should

300
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: come after. I don't want to accuse either of you

301
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: of making a mistake, Mike says, so I'll just assume

302
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: that this was Coop's fault.

303
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 3: Clearly, yes, But what it was is I uploaded it

304
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 3: so early that it showed us Saturday. But the Saturday

305
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 3: show obviously was posted does of hours prior to that

306
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 3: Sunday show. You know what that teaches me? Don't pumps

307
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 3: to show at two thirty in the morning on the

308
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 3: West coast.

309
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 1: Who goofed? I've got to know, Well.

310
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 3: That's a good goof though. Everybody wants things now, now

311
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 3: give it to me now, Amazon, Amazon, Now. Well, you

312
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 3: know I let that bother me too much sometimes to

313
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 3: where my wife gets pissed at me because instead of breakfast,

314
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 3: I'm editing a podcast. So I guess I got to

315
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 3: learn how to have some balance in my life now.

316
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: Mike also says the other possible reason is you guys

317
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: make fun of Brian Finley too much. It might be

318
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: chasing all the diehard fans away. I'll give you a

319
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: chance to win them back right now, though, who do

320
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: either of you have anything nice to say about the

321
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: commentary of the old miss versus Mississippi State Women's volleyball

322
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: game last Sunday. Remember to watch it, right, Yeah, that's

323
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: the ticket. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. There's one thing I

324
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: never miss. It's Old Miss Mississippi State women's volleyball. That

325
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: is must see TV. Absolutely, uh no, don't they usually

326
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: play in football Old Miss and Mississippi State. It's the

327
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: Egg Bowl? Is that what it's called? Yes, I remember

328
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: watching it on Halloween. There was some controversy a few

329
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: years back.

330
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 3: Yep, Mississippi State and Ole Miss football.

331
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: Rivalry battle for the Golden Egg the Egg Bowl.

332
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 3: And and by the way, I have one nice thing

333
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 3: to add about Brian's.

334
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: One nice thing. That's good.

335
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, he reminds me of my grandmother. He was there

336
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 3: filling in for a shift after Monsei the other day,

337
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 3: and he had one of those personalized cups on the

338
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 3: counter and it was of his Corgie, his dog Wow.

339
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 3: And my grandmother used to do stuff like that before

340
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 3: she passed on. She had personalized cups and mugs with

341
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 3: pictures of her dog.

342
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: Wow. Does he realize that he's not a seventy year

343
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: old grandmother. Not that there's anything wrong with a seventy

344
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: year old grandmother. Grandmothers are great, but like he's a dude.

345
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: He's like he's younger than us.

346
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 3: And yes, he looked like he just rolled out of bed. Wow.

347
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: He always looks. He doesn't look like that on TV,

348
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: but he you see him and it's like wow, Like

349
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: this guy's a couple steps away from being at the shelter.

350
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: You know, it's pretty wild. What is next year? Hillbilly

351
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: Mike from Din Witty Virginia, Right sin, He says on

352
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: the mail bag, what is one thing y'all miss that

353
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 1: has been discontinued and you'd like back, whether it's a product,

354
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: a restaurant menu item, or maybe an event. I'll name

355
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: a place when I was younger, my younger days in radio,

356
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: when I first got a gig in La worked in

357
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 1: Burbank Burbank as some people say, and there was this

358
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: place called Dults. I've talked about on the podcast before,

359
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: but it was like my cheers. It was amazing. I

360
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: did a night show and I'd go in there for

361
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: happy hour and hang out.

362
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 3: And they had.

363
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: The greatest chicken fingers of any restaurant I'd ever been to.

364
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: And you get a basket of chicken fingers and fries,

365
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: you get a nice drink. They had TVs to watch

366
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: the games, and it was an amazing place in nineteen

367
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: nineties entertainment and in those days, the popular shows. The

368
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: Drew Carey Show was popular, Seinfeld was popular, and there

369
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: were a couple other shows that would come into Dults

370
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: after they taped their show to have The food was

371
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: that good. It was a restaurant bar and you'd see

372
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: like random and I'm not really into that world, the

373
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: celebrity thing, but they would all come in. It was

374
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: everyone loved it and then randomly and they always had

375
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: people in there. It's not like nobody went there. They

376
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: always people in there. And then that's where I first

377
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 1: met Pat O'Brien. That was back when Pat was still

378
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: drinking the star of Access Hollywood and all those entertainment shows.

379
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: And he had a wine glass that was the size

380
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: of like a bowl of soup, like not the serving bowl,

381
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: the actual pot of soup was his wine glass that

382
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: Pat had, as I remember. But I love that place,

383
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: so I could bring that place back. Or I used

384
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: to hang out in Pasadena sometimes there's a place called

385
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: Moose mcgilly Cuddies. That was a very cool bar that

386
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: also closed.

387
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 3: So either one of those.

388
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: What about you dan anything you want to bring back

389
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: product restaurant.

390
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we talked about headphones last weekend. I WoT

391
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 3: my sony V six hundred's resurrected so that I don't

392
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 3: have to chase them down in a back alley on Craigslist.

393
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 3: And then food wise, back in the workout days, when

394
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 3: I was running ninety five point seven the beat, I

395
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 3: had a trainer. He ran the gym. He was like

396
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 3: part owner. They bought advertising on the radio, and part

397
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 3: of that was they wanted me to talk about their

398
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,959
Speaker 3: gym in the morning on my morning show. I was

399
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 3: forced to be trained by this meathead. But I was

400
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 3: in the best shape of my life.

401
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: Good shit.

402
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 3: You know where he sent me every day to get food?

403
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 3: Where is that McDonald's. Okay, but you're thinking a big mac? No, no,

404
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 3: no no. They used to have salads at McDonald's, and

405
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 3: the salads actually were really good. There was a grilled

406
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 3: chicken salad that had like the shredded the thin carrots

407
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 3: and the ranch. He would allow me one dressing and

408
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 3: sometimes I would just get the chicken breast, put a

409
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 3: little bit of sweet and sour on that, and that

410
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 3: was my meal. And so I lived at this McDonald's

411
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 3: down the street from my place by the water there,

412
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 3: because that's the only thing my trainer would let me eat.

413
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 3: And it was awesome. And then guess what what McDonald said,

414
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 3: You and your salads, anybody that wants to eat healthy,

415
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 3: you're no friend of mine. Don't even bother coming to

416
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 3: our place anymore because McDonald's discontinued all of their salads.

417
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and made more money than you can possibly imagine

418
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: doing that.

419
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 3: You want chicken, mother sucker, You're gonna eat some fried

420
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 3: chicken and die.

421
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I love the story that we had on

422
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: one of the food segments on this podcast, where we

423
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: learned the reason McDonald's does not serve onion rings is

424
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: not that they couldn't have mc onions, but they don't.

425
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: They make so much money from the fries they don't

426
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: want to take away. They don't want to do anything

427
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: to the golden goose, so the golden arches, they don't

428
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: want to water it down.

429
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. That would be like you doing three podcasts a week.

430
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I would point exactly. Yeah, and a TV

431
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 1: show and five radio shows, but not that uncomplaining. It's

432
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: first world props. But I will say this with McDonald's.

433
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: And I think I mentioned this on the TV show

434
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: this week, Like when I go to Starbucks because my

435
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: wife likes coffee, I don't drink. I drink like those

436
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: fruity drinks at Starbucks because I gotta get something. But

437
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: we go to Starbucks or we go to McDonald's, I

438
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: don't care where I've been all across the country. I've

439
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: been traveling from the northeast to the midwest, to the

440
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: west coast to the northwest, southwest, southeast, all over the country.

441
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: And you know, when you go to a Starbucks or McDonald's,

442
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: the consistency of the product. The NFL officiating, by the way,

443
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: it's Sunday, you never know. You never know what you're

444
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: gonna get. It's like it was like made in some

445
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: sweatshop in China, and one game the officiating will be fine,

446
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: you won't even know they're there. The next game, all

447
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: hell's gonna break loose, and the thing, my jig's not

448
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: gonna work right, it's gonna go bonkers. And then Kurfluey

449
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:58,719
Speaker 1: and it's just crazy Fred from Spring Texas right sin

450
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: he says hello again, guys. Danny g are drops added

00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 3: Well, you know we're not really supposed to pull the

454
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 3: curtain back and let you know how the hot dog

455
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 3: is made. Ben reacts to a lot of the drops,

456
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 3: and yeah, if you're wondering how that radio magic happens,

457
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 3: just keep wondering.

458
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: My right hand was getting a workout. Now, don't play that, Danny.

459
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 3: What was your famous one on the live show that

460
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 3: is clearly edited?

461
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's obviously. Listen, it's obvious. I have noticed this.

462
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: We've gone through the different board ops over the years.

463
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: Many of the classics ops like you were very good

464
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: about keeping some of the classic drops, but some of

465
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: the like Iowa, Sam's kind of let a lout of

466
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: those guys those die, which I'm fine with, you know,

467
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that.

468
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 3: I'm not okay with that.

469
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there's only been one drop that got canceled

470
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: in the history of the show.

471
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, your brother.

472
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: Yeah that's the only one.

473
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, your necro brothers.

474
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: I had so many people.

475
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 3: Those were pictures.

476
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 1: By the way, in twenty twenty, in the middle of

477
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 1: the world falling apart right Global pandemic Race Wars, it

478
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,239
Speaker 1: was unbelievable twenty twenty. What was going on there in

479
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 1: all of that? It was a drop of me talking

480
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: about some knuckleball pictures that I had. We had to

481
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: stop playing it because every time we played it inemically,

482
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: I would get we would get phone calls, I would

483
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 1: get emails. I used to like your show, but I

484
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 1: can't believe you would use that kind of language. I

485
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: didn't realize you were a racist.

486
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 3: But yeah, that and how you blew somebody off at

487
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 3: an Lax Airport parking lot.

488
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: He blew me off at a hotel near Lax. I

489
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: don't know what you're talking about. That was I was

490
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: clearly edited. I never never said what is what you're

491
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: playing here? I never said that. I did not at all.

492
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 3: Do I have your permission to play the negro drop

493
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 3: right here?

494
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: Well, how about if you bleep it? Maybe you could

495
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: put a bleep in there and add a little.

496
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 3: Lame No, I've used it before on this podcast, but

497
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 3: I've gone in and I said, quick producer's note, that's

498
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 3: necros as in the pictures in baseball. I did a disclaimer.

499
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: But all those negroes look the same. Yeah, see, I

500
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: call them Joe and Phil. Now I don't call them

501
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: by their people, saying hello, you know Joe and Phil.

502
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: Next up on the mailbag. Barry in South Carolina writes

503
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: in and he says, Yo yo Ma, Benny, formerly in Nashville.

504
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: How long would the Iowa minute last if Jed, who fled,

505
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: were to read Iowa Sam's script. I'm putting the over

506
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: under it about ninety seconds. Yeah, that's about right, Barry. Yeah,

507
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: Jed packs ten minutes of content into a ninety second

508
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: phone call, depending on what pharmaceuticals he's partaking in that day.

509
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: Joan Richmond writes in Oh, Danny, he's upset interesting reaction

510
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: to the song parody. Thanks for playing my Mallard monologue

511
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: song on the Friday podcast. I was perplexed by Danny

512
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: G's reaction to the song and his existence that it

513
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: not be played in its entirety. Danny, if you would

514
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: let me know what the concern was, I can make

515
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: sure to address it going forward. Makes no sense to

516
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: come up with these parodies if they can't be played,

517
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: he says. Also, I didn't realize this, he said, I

518
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: only sent that to the real Fifth Hour podcast. He

519
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: said he had sent it to the other email address

520
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: a couple months ago, but did not get a response.

521
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: I apologize, Joe, it's.

522
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 3: Just time constraints. In fact, I'll play a piece of

523
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 3: it right here at the world trade is best at

524
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 3: both play. I just signed the multi billion dollar contract.

525
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 3: Now went too great to have to play every game,

526
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 3: so I plenty every third game or so.

527
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 2: Now the fans are mad at me, but that's not

528
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 2: the worst of it.

529
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 3: The owner to rupt my brand new contract. I asked

530
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 3: him why.

531
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: He said, you'll see. All right, there you go, Joe,

532
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: he says. Anyway, Joe says he's a big fan of yours,

533
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: Danny and mine, and not just for the entertainment value.

534
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: But he does like us, he says, on a personal level.

535
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 3: That's right, kind, that's nice. We like you just as much,

536
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 3: if not more, and especially for putting the time and

537
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 3: effort into something like that. And I asked that he

538
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 3: do the Foodie Fund open, so he's up for it.

539
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 3: That's twenty seconds where we can play your music every weekend.

540
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 3: So send that to us. If you can think of

541
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 3: something for Foodie Fund.

542
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and make it like hooray for food He fun,

543
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: food he fun, you know, something like I.

544
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 3: Don't tell him how to do his craft.

545
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, he says, he appreciates Danny g for

546
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: your commitment to the youth, Ben for your long standing

547
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: care and concern for all of the there you go

548
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: from the pill poppers and the penthouse to the crackheads

549
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: in the ghetto gutter. That's right. That was That was

550
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: our slogan on the on the show and the open

551
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: and all.

552
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 3: That every show. Yeah.

553
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: Marcus from Bruceville, Eddie, Texas rights in. He says. If

554
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: the two of you never worked in radio, I says,

555
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: I know you guys have had this question quite a bit,

556
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: but I mean a different trade job, and you had

557
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: to pick from electrician, plumber, hvac, et cetera. What profession

558
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: would you guys see yourself working in. And then he says,

559
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: I am in the hvacfield, So choose carefully, he says,

560
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: And I'm going to need a shout out for your

561
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: Texas listeners. My family owns an HVAC company in Central Texas.

562
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: Spread the word, my man, he says. Climate control, heating,

563
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: cooling and refrigeration, Well, you have to pay for commercial markets,

564
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: so I cannot promote climate goal heating, cooling and refrigeration

565
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: then I can't say it, Danny so I because if

566
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: I say climate control, heating, cooling, and refrigeration in Central Texas,

567
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: then that becomes problematic because you have to pay a

568
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: ridiculous amount of money to be an advertiser on this podcast.

569
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 3: Thank you for staying true to the business and not

570
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 3: saying it.

571
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: I would know. I'm ethically inclined, and I do go

572
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: to training every year. That's it. Craigster writes, since has

573
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny g I heard you talking about the maladmobile.

574
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 3: Wait wait, you didn't answer the question which trade would

575
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 3: you do? Uh?

576
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: Well, it didn't matter. I would be bad at any

577
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: of them. All I would be doing is going and

578
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: looking at YouTube videos.

579
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 3: Ben, you'd be good holding a snake in a toilet.

580
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: I have done that. I've done that. I have done

581
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: the snake in the sink. I come in. My DNA

582
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: is plumbing DNA because my grandfather was a plumber. He

583
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: owned a bunch of plumbing trucks and was a very

584
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: successful plumber and tradesman and made a good amount of money.

585
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 3: Nice. Yeah, in that same grandpa I referenced earlier on

586
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 3: the podcast, who was drinking whiskey and watching The Three Stooges.

587
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 3: He was a woodsmith. He was a badass with his tools.

588
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 3: So I would do something in the wood trade, like

589
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 3: maybe make cabinets or something like that.

590
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, that would be cool. I did do

591
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: woodworking in high school, but I was a little skittish

592
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: because my mom kept telling me I was going to

593
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: cut my fingers off. I saw, so you're coming home

594
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: with one last finger. You know it's okay? All right?

595
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: Are going to kill you? Yeah? Exactly. But anyway, this guy,

596
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: Craigster says, I heard you talking about the Malamobile, but

597
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: you did not disclose what kind of card is. So

598
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: after a minute long investigation I've heard that before, I've

599
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: determined it is either A I think he's he meant Bentley, Bugatti,

600
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: ben Taigi.

601
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 3: What is it?

602
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: B E N T A Y G A. I don't

603
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: know that it's got a play on my name and

604
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: a Chevy or a Chevy Malibu or something in between. Yeah,

605
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: it's closer to a Chevy Malibu than some kind of Bentley.

606
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: So thank you, Craigster. I think we'll get Michael in Minnesota,

607
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: Jonathan in Parts Unknown. They had questions about the assholes

608
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: being all dated and all. But we're good on that.

609
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 1: We're okay on that, Danny. I will be back on
