WEBVTT - The Fifth Hour: "All-Time Great Pencil Necks" Mail Bag 0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:01.480 Kabooms. 0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:05.400 If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.160 a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.480 of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.520 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:17.480 rich pill poppers in the penthouse. 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:18.400 Wow. 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.320 The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special. 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:28.480 The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now. 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:35.640 In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler 0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:40.199 and Danny G Radio Happy Week eight. I know he 0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:44.080 actually started back on Thursday with the Buccaneers getting that 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:46.680 cover even though the Bills won the game. But Danny, 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:50.360 we got football action all day to day. My la 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:57.520 Rams taking on the Dallas Cowboys, and the schedule. It's 0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:03.400 a decent, decent card today. Your Raiders though not playing. 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:05.319 Of course, you could argue they haven't played all year, 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:08.720 but they're not. They're not playing. They play tomorrow day, 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:09.560 so you don't. 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:13.920 They played in Week one with some heart and attitude 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:18.279 and kind of unraveled from there. But hopefully that extra 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.560 day will give Jimmy G some time to fix his back. 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:26.640 Anytime for Josh McDaniels to fix how he coaches the team. 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:27.640 Is that possible. 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:32.080 No, He's never gonna fix how he coaches. The team 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:35.040 is going to have to win in spite of having 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:37.959 Josh McDaniels as their coach. Yeah. 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:41.240 So the three games that I am most interested in today, 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:42.920 and I know this is the kind of content that 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:47.000 people want, but the three games that everyone needs to 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.240 know I'm going to be locked in on. 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.680 This is my official pregame show, Ben, So do your best, 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:54.800 Jimmy the Greek. 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.720 All right, So the gambling stuff, by the way, the 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.600 TV show we go, oh in the Big Apple today. 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.200 This is our Sunday Big Apple slot. We have locked 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:08.679 down the coveted eleven thirty am New York City time 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:10.440 slot on SNY. So I just wanted to get that 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:13.400 out of the way early. And that's all football, all picks, 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:17.639 all the time, Benny versus the Penny. But I've got 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.560 three games that I'm dying to watch. Jacksonville and Pittsburgh. 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:22.919 I saw Pittsburgh. I was at the Steelers game last week. 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.200 Here they were in LA which was like an extra 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.080 home game for the Steelers against the Rams. So the 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:31.720 Steelers play Jacksonville. It's supposed to be a rainy day 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.840 in western Pennsylvania. I'm looking forward to watching that game 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:40.079 Bengals and forty nine Ers, although it would appear that 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:44.440 the quarterback situation is going to be in complete upheaval 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:48.880 with Sam Darnold, who sucks playing quarterback for the Niners, 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.720 but Beginner's lucking out against Joe Burrow. So that's the 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.000 second game that I'm jones in on. And the third 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:59.400 game that I am looking forward to watching today is 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:03.200 the Dolphin Patriot game because these teams played. Now, the 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.480 Patriots sucked their two and five, but they played the 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:10.560 Dolphins pretty tough back in Week two. They were only 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:15.440 down by a touchdown with about eight or nine minutes 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.000 to go in the game, so they were right there. 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:19.840 They were right there, and I want to see if 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.000 they can They won last week, so did they have 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:26.160 the hangover from that or and the Dolphins got clocked 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.720 by Philadelphia. They've got a bunch of injury problems, so 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.840 we'll see. We'll see what happens with that. And then 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:36.279 those are the three and then a little bit Cleveland 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:40.560 and Seattle. But I can't get too excited about Geno 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:44.440 Smith versus PJ. Walker. I can't get two worked up 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:45.640 about that. 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:49.160 So did we miss out? 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.440 Oh, that's right before. That's why we mustered. Okay, so 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:56.120 we complained. We pointed out the podcast download numbers were 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:59.920 not great last week, that they went down. It's a problem, 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:03.160 it's a bit of an issue. So we went over 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.280 all that and let's see, did they go up. I'm 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:07.200 gonna say they went off. 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:11.960 They did go up. Instead of missing thirty percent of 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:17.120 our normal Sunday audience, we lost fifteen percent. 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:22.279 So we gain fifteen percent, but we lost from what 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:26.320 we had been doing fifteen percent. So that's not good. 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.480 That's not so maybe we'll stop the mailbag. 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:35.919 No, no, I don't know, you know, because for the 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:40.240 eighty five percenters, that's you listening right now. Yeah, you know, 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:45.360 we salute you. It's worth getting up early to entertain you. 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:50.599 And this is your official NFL Sunday pregame or postgame. 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.839 So we'll keep doing it, all right, Well, very kind 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.320 of you, Unlus, it's in our contract and we have to. 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.640 Do it unless we're contractually obligated to do the podcast. 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:03.080 But I read the fine print on the contract. It 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:05.440 doesn't say how long the podcast has to be. We 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.320 always do about a half an hour, because that's how 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:10.680 long people generally work out for if they're on the 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:12.680 treadmill or something like that, it's about a half an hour, 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.400 so we usually go with that. But this is our 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:31.840 Sunday podcast, so you know what that means, Danny. It's 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.719 first email comes from Dave listening in Boston. He says, 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:43.960 congratulations guys on the Sports Hub winning the Marconi Award, Bend. 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:47.680 Do you get a ring with that? Yes, I'm sure 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:49.080 they're gonna hook us up with a ring. Did you 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.440 see this, Danny? This week the sports Hub in Boston 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:55.560 was named the Marconi winning sports radio station, and the 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:59.920 overnight show all four hours are carried on the sport 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.200 It's up ninety eight point five in Boston. So as 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:06.440 Dave knows about this, but I pointed out on the 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:10.080 show that since all four hours are carried by the station, 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:15.000 that we actually get sixteen point six percent of the 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:19.080 Marconi Award because I'm covering sixteen point six percent of 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:23.239 the talk radio time that is available on that station. 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.480 So that'll be your portion of the trophy. 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:28.600 Anything. If they want to send me like a little 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:32.960 miniature trophy, I can put that on my shelf here 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:35.280 in the studio. I'd be cool with that. But to 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.800 answer the question, Dave, I'm pretty sure the management at 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.520 the Sports Hub in Boston have no idea who I am, 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:43.760 so we don't have to worry about that. Next up 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:48.080 is Mike listening to us in Minneapolis. This has been 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:51.960 and Danny g Which are your old school callers do 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:57.359 you think would still be popular today? That's kind of 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.719 a generic question, Mike. You Oh, it's got to be Genie, 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:05.080 Genie's timeless Genies. Yeah, Genie's like the Bambino. You know, 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:11.120 it's it's all time greatest caller on my Peach Cobbler list. 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.960 I miss her breaking news calls. She would call in 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.440 to tell us the big news that she was in 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:18.320 the liquor store. 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:23.320 You'd better give me that good stuff. Yeah, it was big. 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:26.440 And then she had like her neighbor who was her 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.040 drinking buddy, would come over and then every once in 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:30.920 a while she'd hand the phone to him. They'd be 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:36.280 drinking on the porch. Hello, Joe, Hi, I like the Saints. 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.560 And by the way, Mike, if you're ever in La 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:42.200 Genie and Medford, there is a park bench. Unless it's 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:44.880 been vandalized, it is La after all. But there's a 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:48.920 park bench at Swan Boat Swan Lake Boat Park, or 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:50.960 I think that's what's called. I don't know, right near 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:55.520 Dodger Stadium off the one oh one Freeway in Los Angeles, 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.960 and there is a plaque that is a memorial to 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.760 Genie and Medford. So anybody who can make it there, 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.040 it's kind of cool to check it out. And Jeannie 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:08.520 was a big part of the show for many, many years. 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:12.000 I would also say though that Jimmy Ray from Tampa Bay, 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.560 Jimmy Ray, Jimmy Ray was like the male version of 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:21.840 Genie and Medford and love Jimmy Ray, and he got sick. 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.840 He also he's dead too, uh, and then some like 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.040 the Boston Hitter. I think we've lost him recently. 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:29.640 And I missed the pencil neck guy. 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:34.480 Pencil neck Ray. Yeah, pencil necks. 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:38.080 Yeah. We used to have the bell and we would 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.719 keep track of how many times he said pencil neck 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:41.560 in one rant. 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:46.559 Yeah, yeah, damn, pencil neck was good. There's there's a 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.240 bunch of other ones. Spin Max used to call me 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:51.800 back in the old days. He was great from Ohio 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:57.240 and we had MotorCity Mike from Detroit Troy, the gaming 0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:59.960 man from Nashville was it was a lot of fun. 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.560 Lance the bus driver used to be a regular caller. 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.760 He was nuts and we had a good time with Lance. 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.640 And I'm sure there's others that I am. I am 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:13.400 forgetting bad job by me, but there were many. I 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.240 think these callers would I think that most of them 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:20.360 would cross over because they never talked about sports. It's 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:22.960 none of these people. They all they all talked about 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:28.680 random nonsense, random other stuff. So next up is Steve. 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:33.160 It's the mail back Steven Philly writes, and he says, 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:37.000 Ben and Danny g love the podcast. I started watching 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:42.199 Benny Versus the Penny, and that's how I found the podcast. 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:46.760 He says, you guys should come to Philadelphia do a show. Sure? 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:48.559 Why not, Dan, Why don't we just go to Philadelphia? 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:48.720 Right? 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:50.040 You want to go to Philly for a weekend, We'll 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.680 do the show from there. It doesn't cost any money 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:55.640 to go to Philadelphia. And I'm sure we have tons 0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:57.959 of listeners. I know we have Fats, I know from 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:00.160 the radio show Fats in Philly, although he didn't call 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:03.040 much anymore. And we've got a few other people that 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:08.160 interact with us. Anyway, Steve says, question is where you 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:09.840 guys have both been in radio a long time. Where 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.440 do you see the business going fifteen years from now 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:18.840 with podcasting crossing over? Well, podcasting has already crossed over, 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:22.320 but radio for now, I guess I'll go first date. 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:26.920 But radio for now has more people listening. So here's 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.320 the way I look at I mean, I can't believe 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.079 fifteen years from the holy crap, we're old now, Danny, wait, 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:37.000 fifteen years, my god. But to answer the question from Steve, 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.319 it's really a question of the delivery. I've always said that, 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.439 like the delivery vehicle, how you get it's audio content 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:47.800 human beings, like hearing other human beings talk. It's we 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.800 do we just we want to hear from stories. We 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:57.240 learn from stories. And so whether traditional radio as it 0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:00.560 is conceived right now, I think fifteen years it'll be here. 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:06.480 But whatever device, Like television, a lot of people watch 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.880 TV on the internet. They're not watching it on an 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.800 old tube TV. They don't even have those anymore. But 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.560 they're still television. It's just in a different form. So 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.960 radio I'll still call it radio. People in the business 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:21.400 don't like that term. It'll just be the delivery vehicle. 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:25.680 And the problem with podcasting is it's not live. Like 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.640 the great thing about radio, it's live, there's someone there. 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:33.360 You've got a shitty job and you're working and there's 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:35.559 no one around. You're working by yourself, and you hear 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:39.960 someone talking and you can like eavesdrop in into conversation. 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:44.080 Or if you go through a breakup and you're alone 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:48.120 and you know you know family, you can cuddle up 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:50.480 with the radio. But it's actually a live person there 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:55.480 that's talking while you're listening. So I think that there 0:11:55.559 --> 0:12:01.160 always will be that. What that delivery vehicle. I don't 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.000 I'm not smart enough for that. What about you, Dany 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.720 What do you think fifteen years from now that would 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.839 be twenty thirty eight? 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:14.560 Wow, that's crazy. I mean, we're still going to have 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:18.120 really good content. I think everything will hold steady as 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:22.880 far as the hosts go. As far as the production teams, 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:29.040 that's another question, because we're losing producers and board operators 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:32.400 by the dozens every year. I wish there was a 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:35.720 union ben for the production side of radio. 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:37.800 And now there is Danny and New York because I've 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:39.960 worked out of fan and New York and the iHeart 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:43.160 Building in Manhattan, and that is a union shop, so 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:44.680 they pay good money there. 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:47.840 Nice and see that's got to spread to some other 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:52.160 major markets in major cities. Now. Granted, there are some 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:56.520 lazy shits that got into radio somehow and don't deserve 0:12:56.559 --> 0:13:00.120 pay raiss, But for the passionate people in radio to 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.800 bust their asses every day to put out a really, 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:06.920 really good product, they deserve to be paid better. So yeah, 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.240 I hope that that changes with radio in the next 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:11.080 fifteen years. 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:13.679 Well, it's gonna have to change, and the people that 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:16.360 run the radio business are gonna have to realize this. 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:20.720 You're competing. You should never be in a position where 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:24.600 you're losing people to People should want to leave their 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:26.199 jobs to come to your job, not you know what 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.199 I mean, not the other way around. So you gotta 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.040 take care of your people. I mean, that's just the 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:36.920 basic thing, right I would think, thank you Steve, George 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.440 and Uvaldi Texas rites. And he says, since you are 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:42.400 using the three studios, Yeah, I posted a thing on 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.680 Facebook with the three stooges on the Ben Maler Show 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:48.559 Facebook page to try to lure people into post questions. 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:52.240 George says, who do you like better the Stooges, the 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:57.360 Marx Brothers or Abbott and Costello. So I'm a Stooges guy. 0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:00.320 When I was a kid, they would TV sew but 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:02.040 one of the shows that got a lot of airplay, 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:06.559 especially on holidays, they would do three Stooges marathons. And 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:12.600 I liked the Stooges. They were able to take pancake 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:17.120 batter and make amazing things with the pancake batter, right, 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:21.600 it was just nuts. My dad was more of a 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:24.120 it was more of a like a Marx Brothers Abbot Costello. 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:26.880 It is cool though, as we pointed out on this podcast. 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.600 At Universal Studios, the parking garage I park at to 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:35.440 do the TV show is the Abbot and Costello parking garage. 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:40.080 And at the very bottom floor at Universal, I got 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:44.920 out and there's a there's a tribute. There's a sign 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:47.760 right inside the little court area courtyard area when you 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.840 walk out from the elevator, and it is a great 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:55.280 tribute to Abbot and Costello. It's pretty cool. That's pretty neat. 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.320 So like the history of them as a comedy duo 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:00.960 and where they had been and all this stuff, and 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:03.640 so that was kind of cool. What about you, Danny, 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:08.600 of those three, only those three where you at? 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:13.240 I have really good memories of my grandfather, Bill, who 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.360 was a World War two vet, came home with some 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:19.920 issues after the war, stayed locked in his garage with 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:23.320 bottles of whiskey, and what would be on his little 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:28.000 colored TV. It was either Baseball or the Three Stooges. 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:32.480 Nothing else. His programming on his little TV in his garage. 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:36.440 Three Stooges or Baseball. You know. I would sit in 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:38.640 the garage with him for a little bit and he'd 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.240 be laughing at the Three Stooges. Then he'd take another 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:45.640 swig of his whiskey. That was his jam. So later 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:47.840 in life I would watch Three Stooges and think of 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:49.600 that guy. Nice. 0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:53.120 So it helps them out, give him something, smile at 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:57.520 it going well, and you see somebody doing the ipoke. 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:02.240 Ina got something right, We got something. 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:06.480 Nothing like having to move a baby grand piano. You 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:09.800 know that's a job for the Three Stooges. Yeah, it's perfect. 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:13.520 The hilarious slapstick antics. And those guys didn't make like 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:14.240 big money. 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:16.600 Larry Mow and Curl Man. 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.680 I read recently that for their pictures they were signed 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.400 up for eight a year and they had to split 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.240 sixty thousand dollars three ways. 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:28.000 Wow, that's crazy. 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.400 For each picture. That's nothing. 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:34.720 They were a vaudvillian comedy show right before they got 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:38.240 picked up by Hollywood and early early days of Hollywood. 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:42.480 But think how we talk about football players and all 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:48.200 these all these people complaining about the violence in football, 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:50.600 and how banged up these people's bodies. Are the Three 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:54.320 Stooges though they those they were not doing like stunt 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.240 double stuff. I don't think they were actually like slapping 0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:59.560 and smacking and bonking each other on the head. 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:03.680 And oh yeah they had injuries from their from their 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:04.800 shows and their movies. 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:09.040 Yeh, for hardly any money. And even now they've been 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:13.880 dead for how many years, but we still see their image. 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:19.400 It's crazy anyway. Mike in Spookerton writes in he says, 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:23.360 trick or treat Ben and Danny g I think I 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:27.400 know two possible reasons why the Sunday Mailbag downloads were 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:32.040 lowered two weeks ago. Somehow that episode was uploaded out 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:36.480 of order. According to Mike, if you check the podcast page, 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:41.600 it comes before that week's Saturday episode when it should 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:44.280 come after. I don't want to accuse either of you 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:46.800 of making a mistake, Mike says, so I'll just assume 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:48.200 that this was Coop's fault. 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:52.760 Clearly, yes, But what it was is I uploaded it 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:57.440 so early that it showed us Saturday. But the Saturday 0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:01.800 show obviously was posted does of hours prior to that 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:05.720 Sunday show. You know what that teaches me? Don't pumps 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:07.679 to show at two thirty in the morning on the 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:08.359 West coast. 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:11.360 Who goofed? I've got to know, Well. 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:14.320 That's a good goof though. Everybody wants things now, now 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:18.520 give it to me now, Amazon, Amazon, Now. Well, you 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:21.679 know I let that bother me too much sometimes to 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:24.600 where my wife gets pissed at me because instead of breakfast, 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:28.639 I'm editing a podcast. So I guess I got to 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:31.640 learn how to have some balance in my life now. 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:35.400 Mike also says the other possible reason is you guys 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:38.240 make fun of Brian Finley too much. It might be 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:42.080 chasing all the diehard fans away. I'll give you a 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:45.320 chance to win them back right now, though, who do 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.000 either of you have anything nice to say about the 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:52.520 commentary of the old miss versus Mississippi State Women's volleyball 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:58.800 game last Sunday. Remember to watch it, right, Yeah, that's 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:02.280 the ticket. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. There's one thing I 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:09.200 never miss. It's Old Miss Mississippi State women's volleyball. That 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:15.760 is must see TV. Absolutely, uh no, don't they usually 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:20.080 play in football Old Miss and Mississippi State. It's the 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:24.920 Egg Bowl? Is that what it's called? Yes, I remember 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:28.320 watching it on Halloween. There was some controversy a few 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:29.040 years back. 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:32.480 Yep, Mississippi State and Ole Miss football. 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:37.080 Rivalry battle for the Golden Egg the Egg Bowl. 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:39.920 And and by the way, I have one nice thing 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:42.240 to add about Brian's. 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:43.560 One nice thing. That's good. 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:48.880 Yeah, he reminds me of my grandmother. He was there 0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:51.960 filling in for a shift after Monsei the other day, 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:57.679 and he had one of those personalized cups on the 0:19:57.720 --> 0:20:01.720 counter and it was of his Corgie, his dog Wow. 0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:04.600 And my grandmother used to do stuff like that before 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:09.679 she passed on. She had personalized cups and mugs with 0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:10.800 pictures of her dog. 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:17.280 Wow. Does he realize that he's not a seventy year 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:19.200 old grandmother. Not that there's anything wrong with a seventy 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:22.160 year old grandmother. Grandmothers are great, but like he's a dude. 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:23.520 He's like he's younger than us. 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:28.040 And yes, he looked like he just rolled out of bed. Wow. 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:30.840 He always looks. He doesn't look like that on TV, 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:33.879 but he you see him and it's like wow, Like 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:36.240 this guy's a couple steps away from being at the shelter. 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:40.879 You know, it's pretty wild. What is next year? Hillbilly 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:45.240 Mike from Din Witty Virginia, Right sin, He says on 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:47.560 the mail bag, what is one thing y'all miss that 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:51.679 has been discontinued and you'd like back, whether it's a product, 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:56.720 a restaurant menu item, or maybe an event. I'll name 0:20:56.760 --> 0:20:59.720 a place when I was younger, my younger days in radio, 0:21:00.200 --> 0:21:02.280 when I first got a gig in La worked in 0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:07.159 Burbank Burbank as some people say, and there was this 0:21:07.240 --> 0:21:09.840 place called Dults. I've talked about on the podcast before, 0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:12.399 but it was like my cheers. It was amazing. I 0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:14.840 did a night show and I'd go in there for 0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:17.080 happy hour and hang out. 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:18.040 And they had. 0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:20.720 The greatest chicken fingers of any restaurant I'd ever been to. 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:23.760 And you get a basket of chicken fingers and fries, 0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:25.680 you get a nice drink. They had TVs to watch 0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:30.480 the games, and it was an amazing place in nineteen 0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:36.520 nineties entertainment and in those days, the popular shows. The 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:40.720 Drew Carey Show was popular, Seinfeld was popular, and there 0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:43.800 were a couple other shows that would come into Dults 0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:46.639 after they taped their show to have The food was 0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:48.960 that good. It was a restaurant bar and you'd see 0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:51.760 like random and I'm not really into that world, the 0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:54.040 celebrity thing, but they would all come in. It was 0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:57.800 everyone loved it and then randomly and they always had 0:21:57.800 --> 0:21:59.639 people in there. It's not like nobody went there. They 0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:02.280 always people in there. And then that's where I first 0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:05.120 met Pat O'Brien. That was back when Pat was still 0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:09.240 drinking the star of Access Hollywood and all those entertainment shows. 0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:13.840 And he had a wine glass that was the size 0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:17.920 of like a bowl of soup, like not the serving bowl, 0:22:17.960 --> 0:22:21.200 the actual pot of soup was his wine glass that 0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:24.520 Pat had, as I remember. But I love that place, 0:22:24.560 --> 0:22:27.760 so I could bring that place back. Or I used 0:22:27.800 --> 0:22:29.760 to hang out in Pasadena sometimes there's a place called 0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:34.200 Moose mcgilly Cuddies. That was a very cool bar that 0:22:34.400 --> 0:22:35.240 also closed. 0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:36.639 So either one of those. 0:22:36.520 --> 0:22:38.040 What about you dan anything you want to bring back 0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:39.320 product restaurant. 0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:44.560 Yeah, yeah, we talked about headphones last weekend. I WoT 0:22:44.680 --> 0:22:48.400 my sony V six hundred's resurrected so that I don't 0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:51.480 have to chase them down in a back alley on Craigslist. 0:22:52.200 --> 0:22:55.840 And then food wise, back in the workout days, when 0:22:55.880 --> 0:22:58.600 I was running ninety five point seven the beat, I 0:22:58.640 --> 0:23:02.879 had a trainer. He ran the gym. He was like 0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:07.160 part owner. They bought advertising on the radio, and part 0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:09.880 of that was they wanted me to talk about their 0:23:09.960 --> 0:23:12.959 gym in the morning on my morning show. I was 0:23:13.000 --> 0:23:16.560 forced to be trained by this meathead. But I was 0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:17.960 in the best shape of my life. 0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:19.960
