Speaker 1: Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, I 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 Clearinghouse of hot
Speaker 1: takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with
Speaker 1: Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere and
Speaker 1: welcome into the podcast, O Joe for yet another thrilling,
Speaker 1: riveting Additionally, Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny g Radio.
Speaker 1: All these a lot of drama. See I had the
Speaker 1: wrong buttoner, But but anyway, here we are amazingly for
Speaker 1: another Saturday, Life of Mallard, Life of Day any g
Speaker 1: podcast A ton of stuff to get to. I hope
Speaker 1: you enjoyed the conversation with Serge from yesterday's podcast. I
Speaker 1: was so happy to track him down and he told
Speaker 1: some stories. I I had worked with Serge a little
Speaker 1: bit in the early days of Fox Sports Radio, but
Speaker 1: he was telling me things I had no idea about
Speaker 1: how he had gotten into the business and some of
Speaker 1: the things he had accomplished, and how down on his
Speaker 1: luck he was being homeless in Manhattan's Wild Stories that
Speaker 1: he told. So if you miss that, go back and
Speaker 1: check it out the Friday podcast. But Danny g we
Speaker 1: have to keep marching forward, right, That's how that works. Yes, Well,
Speaker 1: you know what was really cool about listening to that
Speaker 1: Serge interview yesterday. He came up randomly in conversation when
Speaker 1: we were doing the mail bag and we answered a
Speaker 1: question about going on a cruise and yes, yeah, we
Speaker 1: were like, we should get him on the podcast them
Speaker 1: bam bang. So that that's cool. I like it when
Speaker 1: things come up like that spontaneously. Yeah, I I I
Speaker 1: was wondering his name, as you said. We came up
Speaker 1: and he had told me stories about working on cruise
Speaker 1: ships and what that was like like living on a
Speaker 1: cruise ship traveling around the Atlantic Ocean, and it was
Speaker 1: very interesting to me at the time. I was like, Wow,
Speaker 1: I've never been on a cruise ship. I still have.
Speaker 1: The only ship I've ever really been on is the
Speaker 1: Queen Mary, which doesn't leave a long beach. And and
Speaker 1: so you're telling me what it was like and you know,
Speaker 1: living there and eating all the food, and the other
Speaker 1: celebrities that would come and go off the boat. So
Speaker 1: it was interesting and and I had no idea as
Speaker 1: as I said, some of the other stuff that he
Speaker 1: had done, but it was cool and hopefully we'll have
Speaker 1: him on again at some point. So on the big
Speaker 1: podcast today, the one you're listening to right now, which
Speaker 1: is the most important podcast because that's the one you're
Speaker 1: listening to, and so that means it's the most important
Speaker 1: because it's the one you've got right now. So we
Speaker 1: have your Chariot awaits empty bottle, horse meat, say Hello
Speaker 1: to my little Friend, and another riveting back scratcher, among
Speaker 1: other things. I don't know what else is gonna pop up,
Speaker 1: but we begin with this. So what a night it
Speaker 1: was on our Friday overnight show, the Ben Maller Show Friday,
Speaker 1: which is Thursday and the Friday. Some people consider it
Speaker 1: completely Friday. Other people say it's still Thursday night because
Speaker 1: you haven't been to bed yet. I think of it
Speaker 1: more as Thursday night. But nonetheless, it's the Friday shows
Speaker 1: the last year of the week. So if you were
Speaker 1: listening live and in stereo, you heard it all play
Speaker 1: out on the air, as helmet Man would say, the
Speaker 1: live air, as he used to say, And one of
Speaker 1: the more enjoyable shows. I'm gonna say right now, I'm
Speaker 1: going on the record, I'm not gonna pull any punches here.
Speaker 1: That was my favorite show of the year. It was awesome.
Speaker 1: What happened, I'm gonna tell you so, I if you're
Speaker 1: listening here, I hope you enjoyed the Shenanis And that
Speaker 1: was the two NBA Draft night. But that is not
Speaker 1: why this was a special night. As you know, Danny,
Speaker 1: I am luke warm when it comes to the NBA
Speaker 1: JF This used to be one of my favorite things,
Speaker 1: the NBA Draft, but I don't really get all that
Speaker 1: worked up for the NBA Draft anymore. Uh, it's way
Speaker 1: down on my list of things that are cool. So
Speaker 1: that's kind of lackluster, exactly exactly. And the Clippers had
Speaker 1: like a second round pick, a drafted some guy who's
Speaker 1: gonna be stashed in a G League team somewhere for
Speaker 1: five years, so who care? So Uh. The the show
Speaker 1: that we did, though, and you know, it's up to
Speaker 1: you something it was it was to me more enjoyable,
Speaker 1: but you've a listener after the side. We had more
Speaker 1: Razmatans on that show. We had more Razmatazz on our
Speaker 1: show than the NBA did our one. Danny featured a
Speaker 1: trip to the octagon, the verbal octagon, Justin and Cincinnati
Speaker 1: versus blind Scott from Boston, and it was like razor
Speaker 1: wire and highro technics and it's crazy. Maybe these guys
Speaker 1: have been listening for a long time so they kind
Speaker 1: of get the show and all that, and uh, it
Speaker 1: was cool. I Justin came out very methodical, meticulous, disciplined,
Speaker 1: and then blind Scott, because he's blind, Scott just came
Speaker 1: out loose, cannon, scatter, shot, helter skelter, and Scott's phone
Speaker 1: crap the bed. In round number one, it was all
Speaker 1: all messed up. He actually sent me an email he
Speaker 1: said he got a phone call about some Wall Street thing.
Speaker 1: Next when you're when you're blind, obviously you talks to
Speaker 1: you and so anyway, his phone cut out. So the
Speaker 1: first round was a disaster, and and then in in
Speaker 1: round number two, both of them Danny got dumped, both
Speaker 1: got dump which was a problem. Now we let it
Speaker 1: continue because Justin had a borderline dump. He made an
Speaker 1: abortion joke which very controversial and well, you'd have to
Speaker 1: talk to Cooper Loop and Roberto, who immediately hit the
Speaker 1: button and ejacked, ejacked, ejacked, So that happened. I yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I would have let it go because we're
Speaker 1: in the overnights. And but then part of me was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's a good call because the one thing we don't
Speaker 1: want on a Friday show is a call from the boss. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know how that good point. I guess when it's
Speaker 1: like on the borderline like that, it's better safe to
Speaker 1: be sorry it's on the periphery. Is somebody really gonna
Speaker 1: get that worked up at two three in the morning
Speaker 1: because of that? And get ah, yeah, I gotta I
Speaker 1: gotta get a pound of flesh now because somebody justin
Speaker 1: and Cincinnati made a joke. So then we went to
Speaker 1: Scott and blind. Scott then talked about um, actually he
Speaker 1: said sexual acts with a goat. Uh, that's what he
Speaker 1: did there, And so we had to dump that for
Speaker 1: obvious reasons, and uh dumped. Yeah, that's definitely that, that's
Speaker 1: a dump. That's definitely a dump. Uh. He was not
Speaker 1: talking about Tom Brady, by the way, he was talking
Speaker 1: about actual, actual goats. And so then we went to
Speaker 1: the final round. We thought, why not, it's a mad house,
Speaker 1: let's keep going. We went to the final round and
Speaker 1: blind Scott, this is where it really took next level.
Speaker 1: So on one, Scott's phone died. Round two, he made
Speaker 1: a comment a joke, we had a dump. Round three,
Speaker 1: blind Scott turns into a one man band, Like, just imagine,
Speaker 1: if you will, Danny, You're like Vegas, Fremont Street in Vegas,
Speaker 1: Venice Beach, the Atlantic City Boardwalk, South Beach in Miami,
Speaker 1: New Orleans. Yeah, what did I what did it sound like?
Speaker 1: I love you? Oh no, I don't do that. Don't
Speaker 1: You're gonna give me a PTSD. Benny and the weed Man,
Speaker 1: Benny and the weed Man. Uh So, anyway, so blind Scott,
Speaker 1: just imagine we're doing the final round. They're both on
Speaker 1: the air at the same time. It's a steelcage deathmatch,
Speaker 1: and he starts doing this one man band thing. He's
Speaker 1: like playing music like he's it sounds like he's got
Speaker 1: some instruments and he's like, simultaneously in my head, he's
Speaker 1: using his hands, his feet, his all of his limbs,
Speaker 1: and he's got all these contractions contraction, it's not contract contraptions,
Speaker 1: and and it was it was really I was like
Speaker 1: genuinely defying It was so stupid and it was funny
Speaker 1: and it was completely off the track. Even Eddie got
Speaker 1: dumped Facebook dot Com, slash podcast make that boy, Well,
Speaker 1: this was also a borderline dumb I want to get
Speaker 1: your pig? Did he say Fox Sports Radio? Yes? Yes,
Speaker 1: and he named all of our bosses went one by one. No, No,
Speaker 1: Eddie was dump because he used and I can't even
Speaker 1: say it because I'm told we'll get in trouble. He
Speaker 1: used a trademarked phrase from a very litigious boxing announcer,
Speaker 1: A ring announcer. Yeah, I got a cease and desist
Speaker 1: from that guy when I was broadcasting in Santa Barbara. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the guy's uh. I don't know how many lawyers he has,
Speaker 1: but they are non stop going with a you know,
Speaker 1: it's the actually we say the the rumble in the uh?
Speaker 1: Can we say it on the podcast? No, I don't
Speaker 1: think damn it. I don't like so how about we
Speaker 1: can rhyme it though? Well, yeah, that's actually what I said.
Speaker 1: Let's get ready to go in the jungle or something
Speaker 1: like that. What else rhymes with that? What do this?
Speaker 1: What get fetti to bumble? There you go? You can
Speaker 1: do that, bom done anyway, So Coop freaked out when
Speaker 1: I Eddie had said that, And then I'm looking at
Speaker 1: the red I have this button like a game show
Speaker 1: button in the studio and when something gets dumped, it
Speaker 1: lights up. So this thing lit up, and I was like,
Speaker 1: what did what got dumped? This Eddie got what do
Speaker 1: you say? I didn't realize it, and then like like
Speaker 1: ynt it? So now that's like instead of seven deadly words,
Speaker 1: it's it's add that phrase to the to the deadly word.
Speaker 1: It was all in fun. But that was just the appetizer.
Speaker 1: That was just the appetizer on the Friday show to
Speaker 1: the main event and in the third hour. So this happened,
Speaker 1: This octagon happened in the first stour in the third
Speaker 1: hour of the radio programs. There was Cooper opened up
Speaker 1: all the blinds so we could look out onto Ventura Boulevard.
Speaker 1: Paul Butter right there at the corner, and Danny I
Speaker 1: saw something that was the most beautiful thing I had
Speaker 1: seen in a long time as far as a non
Speaker 1: human being. Our chariot, how do arrive? That's right right,
Speaker 1: p one moving man. Matt made the pilgrimage all the
Speaker 1: way from Boston to the mecca of Fox Sports Radio,
Speaker 1: and there it was the rig from the gods. And
Speaker 1: now I had hung out with Matt. I've met Matt
Speaker 1: over the years a couple of times in the Commonwealth.
Speaker 1: We had Mallard meet and greets in Boston, and I
Speaker 1: even hung out with him Vic briefly at a truck
Speaker 1: stop in the Inland Empire, Ontario in so Cal, but
Speaker 1: never at the studio till this week. Um Maddie was here.
Speaker 1: He was doing some business in San Diego and Orange
Speaker 1: County Camp Pendleton, some military families moving their stuff back
Speaker 1: to the Northeast, and he came by and for those
Speaker 1: that maybe missed the show and don't know, Matt has
Speaker 1: the only verified mobile billboard for a sports radio show
Speaker 1: in the world. I mean, right there on the side
Speaker 1: of his trailer, on the back of his rig is
Speaker 1: the name of our radio show, my show. It's it's
Speaker 1: all outstanding, Yeah, I mean, he spent a lot of
Speaker 1: money on that. That stuff is not cheap at all,
Speaker 1: and and he's he's going for it. And so it's
Speaker 1: the greatest guerrilla marketing you could possibly want, because it's
Speaker 1: not just like a billboard sits there and people see
Speaker 1: the billboard whatever they drive by. But this thing wowsers.
Speaker 1: It's all over the country, Dad is. He goes to
Speaker 1: all forty eight continental United's, you know, every state in
Speaker 1: the continental United States he visits, and it's it's really
Speaker 1: one of the coolest things that's ever happened by any
Speaker 1: fan of the show. Certainly it's better. I've been a
Speaker 1: radio twenty plus year, and I can't believe it's been
Speaker 1: that long. But by far, this is the coolest advertising
Speaker 1: and really the only advertising I've ever had. Uh. You know,
Speaker 1: all there's some shirts I I had made or listeners
Speaker 1: made for the show, but but you know, Maco is
Speaker 1: all over the place. He's a long haul mover and
Speaker 1: he's on the road. He told us three hundred days
Speaker 1: a year. And he said, business is really good right
Speaker 1: now for a guy like that, because there's that mass
Speaker 1: exodus Danny from California where people are leaving California still
Speaker 1: and heading back to the eastern part of the United States,
Speaker 1: and so, uh, it's really it's really good for him.
Speaker 1: And he's making bank and I'm a guy works his
Speaker 1: ass off working much and so it's really cool. We've
Speaker 1: all heard the stories about how much a U haul
Speaker 1: truck is from California to Arizona or Texas. They are
Speaker 1: jacking those prices up the past couple of years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's not It's not a pleasant situation on your
Speaker 1: pocketbook at all. And as an added bonus, but wait,
Speaker 1: there's more, dame. As an added bonus, moving man Matt
Speaker 1: brought his travel buddy Louis Louis. Hey, Louie Louis is
Speaker 1: an insanely cute French bulldog rff. Oh nice. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: it was great our canine friend. We brought him into
Speaker 1: the broadcast O Joe and it was going really well.
Speaker 1: Louis was well behaved. But there was one thing that
Speaker 1: went bad. Uh, you want to take a guess what happened?
Speaker 1: What Louis did? He whizzed on Coope's foot. Well, that
Speaker 1: that would have been That would have been great, That
Speaker 1: would have been wonderful, RADI. It did not do that, alright, Yes,
Speaker 1: number two here we yes, number two. Uh, he left
Speaker 1: a doggy land mine on the carpet. Doggy land mine
Speaker 1: on the carpet. Hey, fine, guess you would think that
Speaker 1: possible Louis might have done that. No, it turns out
Speaker 1: that Louis decided he wanted to leave some of Louis behind,
Speaker 1: but not number one or number two. What did Louis do?
Speaker 1: He was shedding. Yeah, so the floor of the studio. Like,
Speaker 1: I put Louis on my lap. The guy I love dogs,
Speaker 1: and Louis was a really cool, cool dog and I
Speaker 1: was pett and Louis the doggie and I my lap
Speaker 1: is covered in fur, you know that hair? And then
Speaker 1: we put Louie down and uh yeah, it was his
Speaker 1: hair in the air everywhere. And so and then we
Speaker 1: did the segment. We had mad in for a segment
Speaker 1: so we could chat with him. Why not at least
Speaker 1: like could do the guy put the name on on
Speaker 1: the bus of the program. And so did you post
Speaker 1: a picture of the truck? Yeah, yeah, yeah yesterday on Friday. Uh,
Speaker 1: if you if you go to the Instagram page or
Speaker 1: the Facebook pitch Ben Mather Show on Facebook and Ben
Speaker 1: Maller on Fox on Instagram, you can check out the
Speaker 1: photos of that. It's pretty it's pretty cool. So, uh,
Speaker 1: not only did Louie leave hair everywhere, uh, he attempted
Speaker 1: to either eat or lick the microphone, which as you know,
Speaker 1: as you know Danny from working a fox really would
Speaker 1: not be the first or last gas bag to take
Speaker 1: a bite out of a thousand plus dollar microphone. But
Speaker 1: it was a wonderful night and Matt had he didn't
Speaker 1: even stay at the end of the show. He had
Speaker 1: head out to a truck stop. He was dead tired,
Speaker 1: and a big tip of the camp I really I
Speaker 1: wanna thank Louis. I want to thank moving man Matt,
Speaker 1: and a big salut, a tip of the microphone to
Speaker 1: all the hard working truck drivers, eighteen wheelers, guys with
Speaker 1: those big rigs highways and byways all over America and beyond.
Speaker 1: And that is really the backbone. If you do an
Speaker 1: overnight radio show, who's listening, who's doing it live? A
Speaker 1: lot of people on the podcast have normal jobs, but
Speaker 1: the overnight it's a lot of truck drivers, security guards,
Speaker 1: factory workers, people working for ups. So the post office bartenders,
Speaker 1: short order cooks, dudes making donuts, the paper, more security
Speaker 1: guards and drivers. Yeah, like all of that. So police criminals,
Speaker 1: we got both sides, good and bad. Uh. Drug addicts, insomniacs,
Speaker 1: those are those are my people. And I had a
Speaker 1: fun time. That was a good night or radio that's
Speaker 1: a good night. That makes up for the nights you
Speaker 1: go in there and you're like, oh my god, what
Speaker 1: am I it doing here? Which doesn't happen very awful everyone.
Speaker 1: So we all have those days, no matter what your
Speaker 1: job is, we all have those days. Right, You're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, that's a nice bonus for when you're
Speaker 1: there in person. What what do you referring? What are
Speaker 1: you referring? Well, I came in because of Matt h
Speaker 1: and also being mandated by manager. So turning the page
Speaker 1: on that, we have a Maller health update, a Mallard
Speaker 1: health update. So last week we talked about some of
Speaker 1: my dental issues Danny and my wife informed me. She
Speaker 1: said she licks some stuff up on the internet that
Speaker 1: if I had not gotten my messed up tooth, my
Speaker 1: wisdom tooth taken care of that, it could have been
Speaker 1: lights out. The infection was all over my face. It
Speaker 1: was kind of spreading around my jaw. You could go
Speaker 1: to your brain. I don't know, that's what she said.
Speaker 1: She said she read some stuff on the internet and
Speaker 1: people have died with this, So what is that even?
Speaker 1: How's that passib But anyway, so it's something that has
Speaker 1: actually k ode people. Lights out. That's it. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: so I did have the dental surgery, and I've been
Speaker 1: on all kinds of meds. Here only took I'm happy
Speaker 1: to report I only took pain meds for two and
Speaker 1: a half days after the operation. So I was worried
Speaker 1: I was gonna get addicted, and so I decided to
Speaker 1: I decided to use some decorum, some discretion and determination
Speaker 1: and Grin and Barrett, just say no to the pills.
Speaker 1: You're gonna stick to the weed, smoke weed. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't need the pills. And so I was asked by
Speaker 1: a listener on the mail I'll get to it. And
Speaker 1: I forget who I should have put in the mail bag.
Speaker 1: But it was like, was this worse than the gall bladder? No? No,
Speaker 1: the gall bladder was I think that was was Mike
Speaker 1: and something. But the gall bladder is worse, much worse.
Speaker 1: The worst pain I've ever had in my life is
Speaker 1: a gall blood. I thought I was going to visit
Speaker 1: the Pearly Gates that night. That day, my uh, the
Speaker 1: system stopped working there. That was That was it. But
Speaker 1: is it true that the pill bottle is empty? Yes,
Speaker 1: it is, damn not the painkillers, As I said, my
Speaker 1: antibiotics have run their course. I was on ten days
Speaker 1: every eight hours. I had to take these pills and
Speaker 1: uh knocking all the gunk and the mold and the
Speaker 1: slime and all that crap from the infection out of
Speaker 1: my jaw and all that. So I am happy to reporter.
Speaker 1: I'm not on any prescribed medications for any of the
Speaker 1: illness or anything like that. One thing that I do
Speaker 1: not want to have ever is on my plate horse meat.
Speaker 1: That is not something I want. Danny is horse me chicken,
Speaker 1: a burger, yes, but I don't want to have like
Speaker 1: Secretariat on my plate. If you know what You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Well, I'm gonna get caught up on Twitter,
Speaker 1: hopefully a TV show that I've been watching that I
Speaker 1: haven't seen in a few weeks today on Saturday, after
Speaker 1: I get done at the network, because all week long
Speaker 1: it was a super busy week. It was my first
Speaker 1: week teaching science for your people, Ben, you you could
Speaker 1: appreciate this. It is a private Jewish school that I'm at. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you're a good mention. There's a mix of all
Speaker 1: kids there, but obviously some of the regular students from
Speaker 1: that school are there. Before you get carried. I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you, Dannyl on the East Coast, like my my
Speaker 1: brothers in Manhattan, like all the Jewish kids on the
Speaker 1: East Coast go to summer camp, like that's the thing.
Speaker 1: But I don't think that's really a deal. Out here
Speaker 1: in California, right on the West coast, it's like a
Speaker 1: Northeastern It's actually an art slash science camp. And I
Speaker 1: am teaching science four classes in one day. So they
Speaker 1: break it up and they have them out there doing
Speaker 1: talent show stuff and throwing water balloons that's a classic.
Speaker 1: They're dancing, they're singing. It's a pretty cool setup. But
Speaker 1: for me, it's just been NonStop because they expect a
Speaker 1: science project every day of the week and I have
Speaker 1: sixty total kids. How many weeks is this? Is it
Speaker 1: just this week or is it every you know? How
Speaker 1: how long is the class after this week? Five more
Speaker 1: weeks of this? Five more weeks where I am gonna
Speaker 1: be dead? Wait? Wait? And you have every day you
Speaker 1: have to come up with something new? Is every yep?
Speaker 1: Every day a new lesson? Yeah? So what I did, though, well,
Speaker 1: I got strategic and I stretched out a couple of
Speaker 1: projects and I gave them two days for one of them,
Speaker 1: three days for the other. So instead of doing one
Speaker 1: new one every day, I was like, I told the
Speaker 1: director of the program, I said, I didn't have enough
Speaker 1: class time, so I had to stretch it into the
Speaker 1: next day. And she's like, okay, that's fine. So they're
Speaker 1: not sweating me, thank god. So next week, Ben, I
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna do two days of finger painting, three
Speaker 1: days of cutting out shapes. I have to find some
Speaker 1: easier projects because I did these really cool cell phone speakers,
Speaker 1: like a do it yourself project, and then I did
Speaker 1: spaghetti bridges, a really cool engineering project. Dead tired because
Speaker 1: I brought all the work home with me. But the
Speaker 1: very first day, my first class comes in at nine am.
Speaker 1: There's twenty kids in the first class and they're all
Speaker 1: staring at me at the front of the classroom. So
Speaker 1: I told him, all right, we'll go around the classroom.
Speaker 1: You know that old deal. A lot of teachers do
Speaker 1: that on the first day. Yeah, I'm like, I need
Speaker 1: to know your names, tell me your favorite animal and
Speaker 1: your favorite food. So now they're excited. They want to
Speaker 1: tell us, they want to share this the class. So
Speaker 1: of course there's a bunch of high maintenance kids, and
Speaker 1: they're saying their favorite food is sushi. How all these
Speaker 1: kids second to fifth grade, that's third and fourth grade
Speaker 1: are eating sushi. A lot of kids in California. Man,
Speaker 1: I've never had I've never had sushi, you know, Man,
Speaker 1: I've never had sushi. I've never had coffee, I swear
Speaker 1: to guy. Probably half the class said sushi. One kid though,
Speaker 1: beating burgers and chicken fingers just like I'm eating. I'm
Speaker 1: still eating that as a middle aged I mean. There
Speaker 1: was some classics thrown in there. There was a couple
Speaker 1: of pizzas, there was some pasta. Tacos. Tacos are gray.
Speaker 1: Who doesn't love taco I think two kids said tacos.
Speaker 1: Did anyone did any say get filter fish? Because if
Speaker 1: they kicked them out of class immediately they say get
Speaker 1: filth fan. So I get to Amber. She's in the
Speaker 1: last row and she says, Hi, my name is her,
Speaker 1: and my favorite thing to eat it's a horse. What
Speaker 1: And she stopped, kind of realized what she said, and
Speaker 1: the class just burst into laughter. She went in the
Speaker 1: wrong runner. She meant to say her favorite animal. Uh,
Speaker 1: she got carried away there. Yeah, what is she in
Speaker 1: the goolag. If you'd like to eat horse meat, we
Speaker 1: can send you to Russia and the Little China or
Speaker 1: something like that where they eat horse. It is not
Speaker 1: the horse thing, because I know I've talked about in
Speaker 1: the past. I don't know if it's here somewhere else,
Speaker 1: but like who it's always fascinated to me, like early
Speaker 1: on when they decided to eat animals, like who made
Speaker 1: the choice of the cow? And I did read somewhere
Speaker 1: that the reason they didn't eat horses was not because
Speaker 1: horses you couldn't eat horses, but it was because the
Speaker 1: horse was so useful, because you needed the horse to
Speaker 1: you know, move stuff around and to take you place,
Speaker 1: as it was an automo beu. It was the old thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: otherwise people would just regularly beating horse, but it was
Speaker 1: such a useful animal. They didn't do it the cows
Speaker 1: like sits around and farts all the time. So that's
Speaker 1: very cute to that girl though, That's hilarious. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was really funny. For the rest of the week, two
Speaker 1: kids were reminding her of it there, like did you
Speaker 1: have horse last night for dinner? Great? As you give
Speaker 1: me pick it reminds me of that great Dennis Larry
Speaker 1: stand up to where he talked about why do we
Speaker 1: protect some animals but other ones we eat them? You know? Um,
Speaker 1: Like he said, we throw out nets trying to catch
Speaker 1: fish because we love to eat fish. Like we don't
Speaker 1: give a shit about the fish or the tuna. But
Speaker 1: if we accidentally catch a dolphin, everybody freaks out. It
Speaker 1: is amazing. Like I've I've am and you ever swam
Speaker 1: in like a school of fish, like I've done that
Speaker 1: a few times, like sardines, surrounded by these little small
Speaker 1: fish and it's one of the coolest things. I've done
Speaker 1: it a few times, and it's amazing to me because
Speaker 1: the fish have that sonar where even though you're surrounded
Speaker 1: by a thousands of fish, you put your arm out,
Speaker 1: you never actually hit one. Yeah, it's wild to me.
Speaker 1: But yet they get caught all the time, don't they
Speaker 1: get caught? I mean it's fascinating to me because because
Speaker 1: of that. And then the other thing which is really
Speaker 1: cool is in Catalina Island. You ever go to Catalina
Speaker 1: off the coast, I don't know we brought this up
Speaker 1: or not. Oh yeah, you gotta go, and there's a
Speaker 1: there's a little trick you can do where you take
Speaker 1: like ice. You know, you go to the frozen section
Speaker 1: of the grocery store and you have like peas and stuff, Yeah,
Speaker 1: frozen peas, and you take those and you you feed
Speaker 1: the fish and they'll jump the there's so many fish
Speaker 1: they will jump out of the water and like bite
Speaker 1: your hand to get the frozen piece. Oh, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: It is wild. It's like being in a reality a
Speaker 1: fishing show or something like that where the fish attack
Speaker 1: and it's like that. The missing I think is the
Speaker 1: parts of the Mississippi River in Illinois. I believe it
Speaker 1: is where they have the flying carp and all that.
Speaker 1: That's uh, that's pretty cool. You just gave me a
Speaker 1: great idea for a lesson plan. Get frozen peas. I'll
Speaker 1: bring the kids out and we'll throw peas and I'll
Speaker 1: tell them we're looking for fish. There. You go, no, no, well, there,
Speaker 1: there's a ton of fish. I don't know us in
Speaker 1: Fernando Valley or wherever you're at teaching, I don't know
Speaker 1: about that. Are there any fish any an? They're like,
Speaker 1: that's a muddy puddle. I don't think there's any fish
Speaker 1: behind the school. Wait, that's not a puddle. That's that's
Speaker 1: urine from the homeless people right there. And I can't
Speaker 1: believe that. It's unbelievable. Dare you alright? So pressing on
Speaker 1: here the the last hill that I have anyway? Is
Speaker 1: this being again a Saturday Pod Life of Danny g
Speaker 1: Life of Mallard? So I have a surprising update there.
Speaker 1: A couple of days ago, I started doing something that
Speaker 1: I had stopped doing because of COVID. I had not
Speaker 1: done this at this location in over two years. What
Speaker 1: do you think it is? And it's a Mallard riddle?
Speaker 1: What do you think it is? And you listening can
Speaker 1: play along as well. I haven't done Oh uh? You
Speaker 1: fed the ducks? I wish I did. Here in the
Speaker 1: north Woods, they don't allow you to fish to feed
Speaker 1: the duck. Today, I think I'm gonna be a lawbreaker
Speaker 1: and do it anyway. I think I might do that,
Speaker 1: but but no, not feeling the uh it is. Say
Speaker 1: hello to my little friend, a gentleman named Jim. I
Speaker 1: returned to the gym, now my home gym. I have
Speaker 1: been working at at home for a good amount of time,
Speaker 1: but with all of the clutter, and even though I've
Speaker 1: been in a new location for almost a year now.
Speaker 1: It's still not completely done, and the home gym set
Speaker 1: up I had hadn't been ready. I've been trying to
Speaker 1: walk as much as I can around the streets and
Speaker 1: the you know, the highways and all that around here
Speaker 1: in the north Woods. So, uh, my wife, she's tired
Speaker 1: of me complaining. I've been belly aching, bitching about the
Speaker 1: lack of working out at a on a treadmill, which
Speaker 1: I had, And so she decided randomly despoiled me and
Speaker 1: get me a gym membership out of the blue, something
Speaker 1: I would never do because my position, Danny was always
Speaker 1: I don't need a gym membership. I have a I
Speaker 1: have a tread anyway, So the gym's I didn't even
Speaker 1: realize as they recently opened up in California again here
Speaker 1: in l a or in the north Woods twenty four hours.
Speaker 1: So I have returned to a place I never thought
Speaker 1: I would go again. And I I had spent some
Speaker 1: as I said, I spent a good amount of money
Speaker 1: on this treadmill things. An industrial strength treadmill is gonna last,
Speaker 1: supposedly for a long long time. And nope, bueno because
Speaker 1: of the clutter. So I have returned to my nocturnal
Speaker 1: workout regiment at a new gym. This is roughly the
Speaker 1: fift gym that I have visited on a semi regular basis,
Speaker 1: and the lesson I have learned the takeaway from this
Speaker 1: Danny is that the same crowd is in every gym
Speaker 1: I've gone to at the time I work out. It
Speaker 1: doesn't matter where it is, that's the crowd. It's a
Speaker 1: mix of the Jim Bros, the guys that were tank
Speaker 1: tops that look at the mirror and flex and are
Speaker 1: in love with themselves. There's a little bit of Jim Candy,
Speaker 1: but not much. These are the women that go to
Speaker 1: the gym all dulled up with the makeup and the
Speaker 1: whole thing. I don't know. I think they're trying to
Speaker 1: get the attention of everybody. Uh. There's the old guys
Speaker 1: that can't sleep and just get there at the crack
Speaker 1: of a dawn before the roosters, and they walk around
Speaker 1: the locker room with their saggy balls dragging on the floor,
Speaker 1: saggy balls and Harry everywhere like in hair is everything.
Speaker 1: Unlike Louis the dog who's shedding, they don't shed it's
Speaker 1: it's all there that's gross, old, wrinkled ball. And then
Speaker 1: you've got like the few guys that you think are
Speaker 1: are on some some kind of narcotics that have been
Speaker 1: up all night. Then you've got the creepsters. Then you've
Speaker 1: got the business people. They're starting to get there early
Speaker 1: because they have a long drive and they're trying to
Speaker 1: get there. So it's like the same people at every
Speaker 1: every gym that I have paid a visit to. And
Speaker 1: at first I was not excited about this, but it
Speaker 1: did feel good. My legs are all messed up now
Speaker 1: because I not really worked out that hard for a while.
Speaker 1: So my wife was like, hey, why don't you go slow?
Speaker 1: I didn't go slice. I went right back to where
Speaker 1: I left off, not realizing that that's not a good idea.
Speaker 1: Yeah really really, Yeah, you're supposed to ease yourself back
Speaker 1: into it. Yeah, well, I wanted to go back to
Speaker 1: your science thing here. So you're we gotta come up
Speaker 1: with a nickname. Now you're not Bill Ny the science guy,
Speaker 1: You're Danny G. We gotta come up with a nickname
Speaker 1: for that. Let me send me a good nickname for
Speaker 1: Danny G that we can We can call you, you know,
Speaker 1: instead of doing the experiments that maybe take ten minutes,
Speaker 1: like the elephant toothpaste. You could see that on YouTube.
Speaker 1: I've been trying to do engineering stuff with audio waves,
Speaker 1: which is why I did the speakers. Kind of been
Speaker 1: going that angle with it. But yeah, I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: to get creative here for the next five weeks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's so many YouTubers that like the King of Random
Speaker 1: stuff that's on YouTube. I think it's still on there.
Speaker 1: Like that kind of stuff is awesome. I ordered all
Speaker 1: these plastic tweezers off of Amazon, and I have a
Speaker 1: bunch of dirty coins and then I have like six
Speaker 1: different solutions in uh small Dixie cups for all the kids.
Speaker 1: They're gonna guess which thing they dip it in will
Speaker 1: clean the coin the best. Oh that's good. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: kind of cool. Uh are you gonna are you gonna
Speaker 1: get like the big like half dollar dollar coin, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's cool. And now, when we were shopping for materials,
Speaker 1: the tinderoni grab some fabuloso that cleaning solution. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that's supposed to be really good. Yeah, but I told her,
Speaker 1: I said, I don't think the parents would appreciate their
Speaker 1: kids sucking in the fumes cleaner. Yeah yeah, probably not
Speaker 1: a not a great idea. Probably. Yeah. I had to
Speaker 1: go with the vinegar. I think it's vinegar and salt,
Speaker 1: catch up some sort of acidy orange juice or juice.
Speaker 1: One thing they say that clean's coins is really good
Speaker 1: taco bell sauce. Oh is that right? Yeah, So you
Speaker 1: take some Cobell sauce. It will shine a coin up
Speaker 1: right away. You should do some stuff with vinegar, because
Speaker 1: the uses of vinegars fascinated to me. You can clean
Speaker 1: stuff with it, you can you can kill weeds with it. Uh.
Speaker 1: And I also saw because my wife, you know, she
Speaker 1: loves flowers and stuff, and she likes to pick flowers
Speaker 1: and put them around the house or whatever. But I
Speaker 1: always hate that because they die right away. But there's
Speaker 1: a mix, you want to do this, It would be
Speaker 1: a good bit. I don't know if the kids be
Speaker 1: that interesting because it's flowers. But you get flowers and
Speaker 1: you try different things to keep the flowers alive. Because
Speaker 1: supposely there's a mix of vinegar, sugar, Yeah, yeah, like
Speaker 1: and one other thing and you mix it. I like that.
Speaker 1: I remember that. I remember science class as a kid,
Speaker 1: where we put different types of water mixtures into different
Speaker 1: plants to see which plant would grow the fastest. I
Speaker 1: do remember that, and you can like leave that around
Speaker 1: the room and say you mark down what each one
Speaker 1: is and see which one dies the quickest and which
Speaker 1: one lives the long. No, that's a great I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do that. That's a great, great suggestion. And if any
Speaker 1: of our podcast listeners have any good science projects or experiments,
Speaker 1: send them to me at Danny G Radio. Now I'm
Speaker 1: working with about forty five minutes per class, and that's
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Twitter. Have the same kids for the whole week,
Speaker 1: and then the next week they rotate different kids in Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, I got you. So you could could conceivably
Speaker 1: repeat some stuff, but you should do do the sandwich.
Speaker 1: Do the science version of the compliments. Saw you know
Speaker 1: what that is. You know, like we all know the
Speaker 1: compliments sandwich. When you go into a meeting with your
Speaker 1: boss and they start out with the negative, they started
Speaker 1: with a positive negative positive. Yeah, they sneak the sneak
Speaker 1: the negative in the middle. Yeah, but the whole reason
Speaker 1: for the meeting is the negative. Yeah, for sure, that's
Speaker 1: the reason for me. But they always start out with it. Really,
Speaker 1: you're doing a great job. We love you. And the
Speaker 1: bread that's top piece of the bread. You're a complete
Speaker 1: asshole and schmuck everyone here bologny, that's the blowney in
Speaker 1: the middle. And then keep up the great work. We really,
Speaker 1: we really appreciate your hard work. That's the bottom place.
Speaker 1: So the science compliment would be sandwich you. You start
Speaker 1: out with a great project, which you already did. Yeah,
Speaker 1: then you do a bunch of shitty ones, and then
Speaker 1: before the kids are done, boom another good one. Right,
Speaker 1: Like I like your strategy. Yeah. So it's also just
Speaker 1: human nature even when you're you know, we're all wired
Speaker 1: the same way. You remember the last thing, right, so
Speaker 1: they'll remember the really cool thing at the end. They'll
Speaker 1: they'll block out the stuff that wasn't Now. I gotta
Speaker 1: I gotta admit something to you, Ben, And I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna say the name of the school, so it's not
Speaker 1: gonna reflect poorly on them. And who knows if these
Speaker 1: are regular students of that school. So there's probably ten
Speaker 1: kids that are just can I say that? I don't
Speaker 1: think you could say that word about a little slow
Speaker 1: about are about meal? About that there is about ten
Speaker 1: kids out of the sixty. Don't know how they made
Speaker 1: it to the fourth grade. I did a graph when
Speaker 1: we were doing the bridge building, and so you know,
Speaker 1: you you measure out, you make the design for the
Speaker 1: two sides of your bridge, and then you measure out
Speaker 1: the dry pasta and you break the pieces and and
Speaker 1: then you know, you put them all in piles, and
Speaker 1: you got two sides to the bridge. Well, at the
Speaker 1: bottom you do a graph. So I drew that up
Speaker 1: on the board and I showed the kids, and I
Speaker 1: was speaking very slow and clearly. Look it. It's just squares.
Speaker 1: It's just lines down, lines across, really simple, and I
Speaker 1: should you not probably ten to fifteen kids. First of all,
Speaker 1: they looked like circles, and the ship was tiny. There's
Speaker 1: no way you could put dry pasta on. I saved
Speaker 1: it and I showed it to my ten to RONI.
Speaker 1: She was dying laughing because it looks like something a
Speaker 1: preschooler drew. And this is coming from kids that are
Speaker 1: going into the fourth grade. So remember not all of
Speaker 1: the kids are with it, so you've got to keep
Speaker 1: that in mind. So my joke to the tender Roni
Speaker 1: was that next week, I'm gonna spend two days having
Speaker 1: them cut out shapes, go back to kindergarten. We're gonna
Speaker 1: go out, I said, we're gonna cut out different planets.
Speaker 1: That will take two days. Well, it's it's good and
Speaker 1: they will continue that likely those kids for the rest
Speaker 1: of their lives and be sloppy. And that's it all right.
Speaker 1: We we have a little time left. Andy. Let's get
Speaker 1: to the backscratcher. And this is where we beg for
Speaker 1: people to like this podcast on the podcast page on Apple.
Speaker 1: That helps us out a lot. We gotta get those
Speaker 1: numbers up, keep those numbers coming. It does help us out.
Speaker 1: Tell a friend, Tell a friend, tell a friend. And
Speaker 1: this is where you scratch our back. We scratch your back.
Speaker 1: And so this week, how many how many reviews Danny
Speaker 1: did we get on the Apple podcast page? The answer
Speaker 1: is two. That's right, we got you got it right.
Speaker 1: So here the two reviews. We thank you, Blind Jake.
Speaker 1: Blind Jake in Minnesota, he wrote in says five stars
Speaker 1: the best companion podcast. Blind Jake writes have listened through
Speaker 1: three Guide Dog lies. Wow, that's cool. I really enjoyed
Speaker 1: the fifth hour from the beginning. But Danny g has
Speaker 1: brought it up to a much higher standard. He says,
Speaker 1: Gagan was present and posted the shows. But it is
Speaker 1: extremely obvious Danny G cares. You see you care, Danny.
Speaker 1: This is a passion for you. Man. I I spend
Speaker 1: more time producing this podcast than I do making lesson plans.
Speaker 1: God love you. And yeah, he says, here, blind Jake,
Speaker 1: the blind listeners get it. See the blind Listener is
Speaker 1: a better consumer talk Hawk radio program. This is everything
Speaker 1: for them. They pay attention to the fine details. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he says, you're blind Jake and his three guide
Speaker 1: dogs that he's been through that you can tell. Danny
Speaker 1: G spends considerable time editing and producing a high quality program.
Speaker 1: Keep it going. And he says, Ben, you need to
Speaker 1: visit Minnesota. Now. If I visit Minnesota, blind Jake, you
Speaker 1: gotta show up, man, you gotta find a way to
Speaker 1: get there. I'd love to meet you. I was right
Speaker 1: next to Minnesota and Wisconsin. I know it's a long
Speaker 1: drive from Minneapolis St. Paul, where most of most of
Speaker 1: our guys live in the metropolitan area there. But I
Speaker 1: was blown away because I had so many people from
Speaker 1: Minnesota say, Oh, if you come close, I'm gonna be there,
Speaker 1: and then I did not realize the depths of the
Speaker 1: hatred between Minnesota and Wisconsin, where crossing over state lines
Speaker 1: is like there's a point of demarcation, nanny where I
Speaker 1: think if you're in minute Anesota and you go to Wisconsin,
Speaker 1: you get kicked out of Minnesota or something like that.
Speaker 1: But but anyway, blind Jake, I would love to meet
Speaker 1: you and come to Minnesota, and I have talked next
Speaker 1: time I visit my brother, I don't know, maybe it's
Speaker 1: a year or two years from now, I'll go back
Speaker 1: to Wisconsin. Instead of flying in Chicago and driving, I'll
Speaker 1: do the longer trip. I'll go in to Minnesota and
Speaker 1: make the make the drive. At least that's my plan
Speaker 1: at this point. He says, you have a huge following.
Speaker 1: You need to get an authentic, juicy lucy. Yes I do.
Speaker 1: He says they are over a dozen raising knes and
Speaker 1: so somebody call uh. He says, you can go around,
Speaker 1: round out your round out your menu. He says, uh,
Speaker 1: I think it's a word missing. But yeah, listen, I
Speaker 1: love raising kings. When I travel, I like to eat
Speaker 1: the local food. I can eat raising cans here and
Speaker 1: I love raising Kings it's great meal, but I enjoy
Speaker 1: I want to eat juicy loose. I go to Minnesota,
Speaker 1: I gotta eat the locals up, but not some of
Speaker 1: that weird fish you guys in Minnesota. I don't want
Speaker 1: to do that. I'm good on that. There's some weird
Speaker 1: old traditions in Minnesota'm like, I don't need that. But
Speaker 1: juicy Lucy, that's a good bir got the cheese in
Speaker 1: the middle not kosher though. All right, Uh, this is
Speaker 1: Robert twelve, writes in Danny last one on the Backscratcher
Speaker 1: says fifth our great podcast, Big Ben Radio legend. Wow.
Speaker 1: Well that this is Robin Biggs Marconi deserving good job
Speaker 1: by you, Rob, huge upgrade, he says, adding Danny g
Speaker 1: keep the great episodes Rolling Boys as Robin vague. All right, well,
Speaker 1: thank you, Rob, Rob's a brigadier general. Thank you for
Speaker 1: those Yeah, thank you for those reviews. And you know,
Speaker 1: blind Jake, He's right, Ben, it is a good companion
Speaker 1: podcast because I actually go back and listen to the
Speaker 1: finished production to make sure everything is running smooth with
Speaker 1: ad placements and just everything overall. And I'll be checking
Speaker 1: things out from my drive where I'm at to the
Speaker 1: studios in Sherman Oaks. And seriously, when I'm double checking
Speaker 1: our podcast, the drive goes like that. But what I
Speaker 1: don't have a podcast on, it seems like I'm in
Speaker 1: traffic forever. So one crazy phenomenon with podcasts, I think,
Speaker 1: is that they get you through traffic so much better
Speaker 1: than other forms of entertainment. Yeah, I agree, And I'm
Speaker 1: a big treadmill guy. That's my thing, you know. I'm
Speaker 1: a Mr Benny the treadmill And I agree. When you're
Speaker 1: on a treadmill, you're listening to something and you really
Speaker 1: locked into it. It's it does help pass the time.
Speaker 1: It's just like boom, You're done. That's it. You're get
Speaker 1: in this trance like state. So anyway, we gotta get
Speaker 1: out of here. Anything to promote Danny. I know you're
Speaker 1: busy at the Mothership today, as you said, you get
Speaker 1: the science class and all that. I gotta catch up
Speaker 1: on some sleep, but I'll do it when I die.
Speaker 1: Because there's short a couple of people at the network,
Speaker 1: so they have me on from four pm to midnight.
Speaker 1: That's terrible. Yeah, four pm to midnight today, It's gonna
Speaker 1: be a long shift. But I got my drugs and
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go, so pretty much the entire Saturday
Speaker 1: programming lineup in the evening on the West Coast. It's
Speaker 1: going to be a marathon. Wow. Alright, good luck with
Speaker 1: that hydrate, drink a lot of water, pace yourself and
Speaker 1: if you have a chance, you can maybe take some
Speaker 1: of Louise's hair that's in the studio. And I'm about
Speaker 1: bring a roller you gotta get out of You have
Speaker 1: a great rest of your day. We get the mail
Speaker 1: bag on Sunday and we'll talk to you then. Yeah,
Speaker 1: see you tomorrow. Affliction
