Speaker 1: Kabooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to Clearinghouse of
Speaker 2: hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
Speaker 2: with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Speaker 1: Mahler and Danny g Radio in a very happy, happy,
Speaker 1: happy Sunday to you. It's on I Don't Get Gone
Speaker 1: in the NFL. We got early action from Madrid. Still
Speaker 1: time though, to watch Benny Versus the Penny on YouTube.
Speaker 1: That show iconic. I'd like to thank the United States
Speaker 1: government for promoting the penny tremendous job by trying to
Speaker 1: cancel the penny helping Benny Versus the Penny. You can
Speaker 1: also support Benny Versus the Penny right now by watching
Speaker 1: it on YouTube at Benny versus the Penny. Give us
Speaker 1: a subscribe that would help us out a lot, and
Speaker 1: just watch it every week, just putting it on even
Speaker 1: if you mute it. I don't care maybe you don't
Speaker 1: like the sound of my voice, just mute it. It works.
Speaker 1: But the game in Madrid, as we said on Benny
Speaker 1: Versus the Penny, the Commanders and the Dolphins providing you,
Speaker 1: providing you this matchup because we are you and Madrid Spain,
Speaker 1: because we as Americans are outsourcing some of our bad products.
Speaker 1: But that'll be the early game and then the big
Speaker 1: big games of the day. Today there are some doozies,
Speaker 1: some humdingers, these Seahawks and the Rams. I will not
Speaker 1: be at that game. I had a social event last night.
Speaker 1: I will be taking it easy today. Going on that later.
Speaker 1: The Seahawks and Rams, though both seven and two in
Speaker 1: La couple of NFC the super Powers teams contending for
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, though Seattle's a foe contenders. No Stradinis
Speaker 1: knows JJ and Rent and Crying Craig and all my
Speaker 1: guys in the Pacific Northwest. Uh blind Emmitt the Seahawk
Speaker 1: fan because of Sam Darnold. Yeah, not sure about that,
Speaker 1: but that's the biggest game. Even though Tom Brady is
Speaker 1: not going to be there for some reason, he's calling
Speaker 1: the Bears Vikings games. Somebody goofed that one up. You've
Speaker 1: also got Jamis Winston. Now, this is not a big
Speaker 1: game in terms of record. The Packers are underachieving. The
Speaker 1: Giants have always been bad. They're not underachieving, they're living
Speaker 1: up to expectations. But you've got Jamis Winston, Mike Kofka,
Speaker 1: the interim coach taking over there. So that'll be good.
Speaker 1: The Chiefs and the Broncos. That's a humdinger of a game.
Speaker 1: That's a humdinger game. Chiefs very important for them to
Speaker 1: get to six and four. They can close the gap
Speaker 1: on the Broncos to one game in the AFC West.
Speaker 1: Broncos come into that game at eight and two. You've
Speaker 1: got Homes versus bo Nicks, Lions and Eagles. That'll be
Speaker 1: the nightcap tonight, massive game, massive game, not not an
Speaker 1: a visional game. But Lions six and three, they can
Speaker 1: tie the Eagles. They'd have the tiebreaker in terms of
Speaker 1: head to head Lions and Eagles Tonight on and BC. Yeah. Today,
Speaker 1: by the way, is National fast Food Day. National fast
Speaker 1: Food Day today, so celebrate appropriately, go out get some
Speaker 1: fast food. Although it is interesting to note, as Vin
Speaker 1: Scully would say, despite it being National Fast Food Day,
Speaker 1: you cannot get Chick fil A because it's Sunday, they're
Speaker 1: not open today. The very first fast food goes back
Speaker 1: thirty two hundred BC. How about that there was a
Speaker 1: takeout window that made its debut. The Mesopotamian ruins featured
Speaker 1: a window. They had a fireplace, leftover food and a
Speaker 1: ton of bowls, and archaeologist easier for me to say,
Speaker 1: archaeologists suspect that these these were takeout restaurants. That way
Speaker 1: back in Mesopotamia they had takeout restaurants thirty two hundred BC.
Speaker 1: It wasn't until the fifteen hundreds that a missionary priest
Speaker 1: came up with Tomali's to go. Yes, as tech Street
Speaker 1: markets sold to Maali's with hot sauce. That was in
Speaker 1: the fifteen hundreds. And then you fast forward all the
Speaker 1: way up to nineteen twelve and you had New York's
Speaker 1: Automat restaurant popularized the phrase take out food. So that
Speaker 1: phrase goes back to nineteen twelve. Yes, that's an added
Speaker 1: phrase of the week phrase all the week, the phrase
Speaker 1: popularized by New York's Automat restaurant take out food. Then,
Speaker 1: in nineteen twenty one, what many consider the first modern
Speaker 1: fast food, White Castle the first modern fast food restaurant.
Speaker 1: Some say open its doors in nineteen twenty one, and
Speaker 1: then you go up to nineteen ninety four, and that
Speaker 1: is when McDonald stopped counting the number of burgers it
Speaker 1: sold at ninety nine billion. Used to have that sign
Speaker 1: where they said ninety nine billion burgers have been sold here,
Speaker 1: and they kept raising the number, and then they got
Speaker 1: so high, I want to say trillion and trillion, and
Speaker 1: as they just stopped, they just they just stopped. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's it, all right, Let's get to the mail bag.
Speaker 1: Oh hiowow can you get me in the mood? OHIOO?
Speaker 1: Can you get me in the mood? It's in this
Speaker 1: mail bag? Ohio al. It is a solo edition of
Speaker 1: the Mailbag. No Danny g this weekend, but you got me?
Speaker 1: And first up on the mailbag Reggie. Reggie's back. He
Speaker 1: took some time off, but he's back. Reggie's in Detroit.
Speaker 1: He says, Hey, Ben and Danny, do you guys like
Speaker 1: your mutant meat medium? Well or well done? Very funny? Reggie.
Speaker 1: There was a story he sent me here and it
Speaker 1: says clone meat will soon enter the Canadian grocery stores
Speaker 1: without safety reviews or labeling. And then it says here
Speaker 1: that those of us that are in America have been
Speaker 1: eating it for years, for years, been eating mutant meat. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of people apparently surprised by this. It was
Speaker 1: revealed that similar products that are making a big deal
Speaker 1: about this in Canada have quietly been on the shelves
Speaker 1: for years. Holy supermarket, Steve Batman, what are you doing,
Speaker 1: supermarket Steve? You're selling people mutant meat. What's wrong with you?
Speaker 1: No labels? Nothing? Yeah. So I want all of my meat,
Speaker 1: whether it's traditional animal meat or whatever the lab grown
Speaker 1: meat is. I want it well done, loser, I want
Speaker 1: it well done. Next up, Kevin Cleveland writes in on
Speaker 1: the Mailbag. He says, so, hey, Ben and Danny, g
Speaker 1: I'm kind of an average looking guy, but I've got
Speaker 1: a good sense of humor. Do you think you think
Speaker 1: I got a shot on getting a hot woman? And
Speaker 1: then he sent the He sent a story that says
Speaker 1: women like to date funny men who are less attractive
Speaker 1: than them according to a new study. So then Kevin says,
Speaker 1: do you believe this report or not? Uh? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Well women, I don't obviously, I'm not a woman. I
Speaker 1: don't have the women parts, and hope I can speak
Speaker 1: from just observing life that a lot of women would
Speaker 1: love a funny man. They find men that have a
Speaker 1: lot of money to be very funny, even when they're not.
Speaker 1: They find men that might be very attractive or very
Speaker 1: gifted in certain areas to be very funny even if
Speaker 1: they're not. So. The term funny has a sliding scale, Right,
Speaker 1: you get a lot funnier, keV in Cleveland. You're a
Speaker 1: lot funnier when you've got a big bank account, big
Speaker 1: giant mansion, nice expensive cars. That really makes you funny,
Speaker 1: if you know what I'm saying, right, it doesn't really
Speaker 1: matter how attractive you are. And the part which I
Speaker 1: do agree, like women just want someone who's less attractive
Speaker 1: than them. They don't want a guy. That's so everyone's
Speaker 1: like looking at the guy, which rarely happens anyway, mostly
Speaker 1: stare at women. But nonetheless, you know, you know, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, all right, Thanks Kevin in Cleveland,
Speaker 1: a city that I have been to once in my life,
Speaker 1: and who knows if I'll ever come back. Maybe we'll
Speaker 1: do the Ohio Meet and greet in Cleveland. Well, I
Speaker 1: feel like we have more people in the Cincinnati area.
Speaker 1: Jay from the Bay rights in and says that according
Speaker 1: to a new survey, this is the golden ratio. According
Speaker 1: to the Golden Ratio, Jay from the Bay says, Emma
Speaker 1: Stone is the most beautiful woman in the world. According
Speaker 1: to this story that Jay sent me, Zendaya is a
Speaker 1: closed second. All right, so let's let's dive into this
Speaker 1: the Golden ratio. The hell is the the Golden ratio.
Speaker 1: According to a cosmetic and plastic surgery center in London,
Speaker 1: they say that Emma Stone the winner when all elements
Speaker 1: of the face were measured for physical perfection. They gave
Speaker 1: her a ninety four point seven percent score Golden ratio,
Speaker 1: which measures physical perfection. According to that, Zendea, Beyonce, Margot
Speaker 1: Robbie also did well. According to this, I don't think
Speaker 1: I've heard this. The Golden ratio is a mathematical equation.
Speaker 1: They say. It was devised by the Greeks in an
Speaker 1: attempt to measure beauty. It can be applied to almost anything,
Speaker 1: and was even used by Leo or Leo Nardo da
Speaker 1: Vinci for the perfect human male body in his famous
Speaker 1: work That the Statue the Man There the v man,
Speaker 1: whatever it's called. So the premise mind of the golden
Speaker 1: ratio is that the closer the ratios of the of
Speaker 1: a face or body are to the number five, the
Speaker 1: more beautiful they become. And I'm probably butchering this. I
Speaker 1: realize I'm probably butchering this, but that's that's what I'm reading.
Speaker 1: I'm just giving you the story from this guy, Jay
Speaker 1: who sent this. This is a story he sent me
Speaker 1: daily mail from the Daily Mail, the UK London Daily Mail.
Speaker 1: Then Jay said, do you even know who Emma Stone is?
Speaker 1: All right? So, Jay, A, I've heard the name Emma Stone.
Speaker 1: I've heard the name Emma Stone. B I think I've
Speaker 1: even seen one of her movies. Wasn't she in some
Speaker 1: Spider Man movies like a long time ago. I believe
Speaker 1: I saw Emma's Stone in some Spider Man movies. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go yes on that, Jay. If she was
Speaker 1: in a lineup of Hollywood starlets, like a police lineup,
Speaker 1: I would not be able to pick her out. I
Speaker 1: would not. But I've heard the name, and I think
Speaker 1: I saw her in some Spider Man movies. And I
Speaker 1: could be completely wrong, And I promise if I am wrong,
Speaker 1: some of you knuckleheads are going to email me. You
Speaker 1: know you're wrong. Okay, thank you. Let's see who's next.
Speaker 1: We have the Big O from Florida. I didn't know
Speaker 1: the Big O' lived in Florida. He says, Hey, Ben
Speaker 1: and Danny, I love the podcast doing the honeyde List
Speaker 1: on the weekend, and he says, I wanted to get
Speaker 1: your take. I know you've complained Ben about air travel. Also,
Speaker 1: Danny flies a lot with the radio stuff. What do
Speaker 1: you guys think about United Airlines arguing that window seats
Speaker 1: do not mean you're sitting with a window. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: like this story, Big O from Florida. So this to
Speaker 1: give me the thumbnail recap on this if you didn't
Speaker 1: see it. So there's some passengers that say they paid
Speaker 1: a premium. They selected their seats anywhere from thirty to
Speaker 1: over one hundred dollars on a flight expecting a view.
Speaker 1: They thought they were paying extra for a window and
Speaker 1: a genuine window seat, and they claimed they got the
Speaker 1: old bait and switch that they claimed that they just
Speaker 1: happened to be sitting there and there was no window.
Speaker 1: There was just the fuselage of the airplane. And they're saying, hey,
Speaker 1: we would not have booked or paid extra for the
Speaker 1: seat that lacked the window. The lawsuit alleges that this
Speaker 1: constitutes deceptive or unfair trade practices and in some instances,
Speaker 1: a breach of contract. So in order to get out
Speaker 1: of a lawsuit, they're saying, hey, listen, you know we're
Speaker 1: not really we are not really providing you an actual window,
Speaker 1: and this is proof that you will do anything, anything
Speaker 1: at all, to avoid having to pay out a settlement.
Speaker 1: I remember the cable news channels got sued up the wazoo,
Speaker 1: and this was always their go to defense that even
Speaker 1: though it says news in the name of the channel,
Speaker 1: the big news channels. I will not name them here,
Speaker 1: I think you can figure out which. They've all been
Speaker 1: sued a ton. Every once in a while they lose,
Speaker 1: but almost always they claim that they're on air talent,
Speaker 1: are not not newspeople, they're not reporters, that they're entertainers.
Speaker 1: It's like an entertainment show. It's kind of like the
Speaker 1: NFL is allowed technically to fixed games. It can be
Speaker 1: like professional wrestling. They claim that that argument in a
Speaker 1: court case, you can just AI it or google it
Speaker 1: and find out the details. So it's not unusual. I
Speaker 1: would love to be in court a fly in the
Speaker 1: courtroom when the lawyer for the United Airlines says, okay,
Speaker 1: this is not you did not buy a window seat.
Speaker 1: But mister lawyer, it says on the website that it
Speaker 1: shows a little graphic and then you're near the outside
Speaker 1: of the plane, near the window, which would indicate that's
Speaker 1: a window seat. Well, yeah, it says on the graphic,
Speaker 1: but window seat does not mean with a window. It
Speaker 1: does not mean but but no, it says it shows
Speaker 1: it right here on the website. What doesn't matter what
Speaker 1: you don't believe you're lying. Eyes, don't believe you're lying.
Speaker 1: Eyes all right. Next up, Ryan on the mailback. Thank
Speaker 1: you by the way, big oh, Ryan from Shrewsbury, Mass
Speaker 1: is back, he says he Bannon Danny. It's been a
Speaker 1: while since I last emailed into the pod. I am
Speaker 1: finally back from getting married and going on the honeymoon. Mazeltov, congratulations, Ryan,
Speaker 1: ho'pe be had a wonderful time. I like your advice.
Speaker 1: Selective hearing question this week is since it's getting colder
Speaker 1: outside around the country, is soup a year round meal?
Speaker 1: Since you answered my taco question, regarding softer Heartshell, I
Speaker 1: want to know your thoughts on this. I believe and
Speaker 1: so does the wife, that it could be a year
Speaker 1: round meal. Yeah, so, Ryan, I'm hit and miss, and
Speaker 1: your bride I'm hitting miss. When it comes to soup,
Speaker 1: there's only a few that I go to. As I've
Speaker 1: gotten older, my palate for soup has improved. When I
Speaker 1: was younger, I used to only eat matza ball slash
Speaker 1: chicken soup. That was it. It was a holiday thing
Speaker 1: for Thanksgiving, for Hanukkah, for other Jewish holidays. We would
Speaker 1: sell the house. When I was growing up, we would
Speaker 1: have mantzibal soup was part of the deal. I just
Speaker 1: expected mantzi ball soup and if my mom didn't make it,
Speaker 1: I would get upset. And then I discovered French onion soup,
Speaker 1: and I said, oh my god, I love French onion soup.
Speaker 1: So I went with that, And then as an adult,
Speaker 1: I had Italian wedding singer soup. I believe it's called
Speaker 1: love that or alphabet soup, where I love that. I
Speaker 1: thought that was great. I even occasionally, don't tell anybody,
Speaker 1: I'll go for a tomato bisk soup. Very rare but
Speaker 1: I'll go for that, so I have expanded my palate.
Speaker 1: Am I sitting here in July eating soup? No, I'm not.
Speaker 1: And the problem with soup is it's great, but it's
Speaker 1: not a meal. You got to eat it with a meal.
Speaker 1: It's more of a snack if you eat it by
Speaker 1: itself and you're not really feeling it. Now, there are
Speaker 1: some thicker soups. I don't need that. My mom would
Speaker 1: make lentil soup, which is like a Russian dish. When
Speaker 1: I was growing up, I did not enjoy that. I
Speaker 1: would pick out the pieces of meat that were in
Speaker 1: the around the lentils, defeating the purpose of the lentil soup.
Speaker 1: And that would be my move. And just for Terry
Speaker 1: and England if he's listening, this is not a list,
Speaker 1: but my big board, I would have Monza ball soup
Speaker 1: at number one on the big board, French onion number two.
Speaker 1: I'd have your traditional standard chicken soup number three. That
Speaker 1: would be number three, and then number four would be
Speaker 1: the aforementioned tomato bisk and then also the Italian soup
Speaker 1: would be in there at number five. So that would
Speaker 1: be it. Not a list, not a list, a big
Speaker 1: board Kevin in Kansas rites into the mail bag. He says, Hey,
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny g my nephew works security for a
Speaker 1: major sports retail store in Dallas. Recently, they caught teens
Speaker 1: opening packs of baseball cards. The kids didn't like what
Speaker 1: they got and they threw them away without paying. They
Speaker 1: were caught and prosecuted as much as they could be.
Speaker 1: Not that you ever would, but what would it take
Speaker 1: for you to get that desperate and take the risk
Speaker 1: with baseball cards? Yeah? So, Kevin, first of all, it's
Speaker 1: not really if they're kids, it's not so much of
Speaker 1: a risk. They were trying to get some amazing card.
Speaker 1: For me. Obviously Danny's not here today, but for me,
Speaker 1: I would go if there's like a Wemby rookie card,
Speaker 1: which you know is going to be worth three hundred
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. This guy's a mutant. I was watching the
Speaker 1: Spurs game on Friday. I had it on the background.
Speaker 1: I had a buddy of mine over who were watching
Speaker 1: the Spurs and the Golden State Wars because it was
Speaker 1: the only thing on our guy, mister Harlan was calling
Speaker 1: the game for Amazon with Brent Barry. So I was
Speaker 1: watching that and I'm checking on, like Wemby is the
Speaker 1: tall version of Kyler Murray, you know when you're watching
Speaker 1: the Cardinals and alligator arms Murray and it's like, well,
Speaker 1: I think my TV broke. That guy doesn't look like
Speaker 1: he belongs to him? Is like a glitch. What's up
Speaker 1: with the thing of a jig but what you might
Speaker 1: call it? And I'm watching the Spurs game and all
Speaker 1: these guys are really tall, the tall people play basketball,
Speaker 1: and Wemby looks like he does not belong It's like,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, who puts Sasquatch on the court? Sasquatch
Speaker 1: shouldn't be out there? What's up with that? So it's
Speaker 1: pretty wacky, pretty wacky about Kevin. Thank you. I'll glad
Speaker 1: you are a regular emailer to The Fifth Hour mail Bag.
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean like if you would like to email
Speaker 1: the podcast for a future edition of the mail Bag.
Speaker 1: First of all, follow the podcast, subscribe to the podcast.
Speaker 1: That helps us out a lot the Fifth Hour podcast
Speaker 1: as the audio content does not end even here on
Speaker 1: NFL Sundays like today. Yeah, so next up, says Jose.
Speaker 1: He says, hello, Lord Ben and mister g nor Cal.
Speaker 1: Jose now in Massachusetts. He says, what do you think
Speaker 1: of Tom Brady killing the Raiders back in the snowball
Speaker 1: game and then now killing them again by all the
Speaker 1: dumb hirings he did, But this time they deserve it
Speaker 1: for leaving Oakland. And I think all the NorCal people
Speaker 1: love you because of your hate of the Dodgers and Lakers.
Speaker 1: Makes it fun for us. And what happened to your
Speaker 1: little brother, David Finley? I think you mean Brian Finley.
Speaker 1: He says, that's from Jose. Well, I don't hate the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: I did the Dodger radio postgame show for a little
Speaker 1: bit back in the day. I just I don't like
Speaker 1: the hubris of the Dodgers. They're not reinventing the wheel.
Speaker 1: They're spending more money than anyone else, which I'm fine with.
Speaker 1: They're winning. You should win when you spend a lot
Speaker 1: of money. I want to work for a boss that
Speaker 1: spends a lot of money. It's one of those things,
Speaker 1: Jose that I find ridonculous among sports fans. They're like
Speaker 1: ripping and mocking the teams that spend a lot of money.
Speaker 1: I know, as an employee, I would like to work
Speaker 1: for a company that values their employers their employees rather
Speaker 1: and is going to spend a lot of money. Why
Speaker 1: would I want to work for a nickel and dime operation.
Speaker 1: I would much rather If I was a baseball player,
Speaker 1: I'd want to play for the Dodgers as opposed to
Speaker 1: the Brewers or the Rays or the A's or one
Speaker 1: of those type teams. But that being said, that being said,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here behind these microphones and
Speaker 1: listen to the bull crap propaganda that's out there. It's
Speaker 1: just for today. I mean, these fanboys just made me
Speaker 1: want a puke in my mouth. As far as Brian
Speaker 1: Finley Daddy, which I believe you're relating to, I think
Speaker 1: he's doing some tennis play by player. I don't know.
Speaker 1: We were work friends, and when you're work friends, that's it.
Speaker 1: It's all over, you know, He'll usually what happens with
Speaker 1: work friends, I'll explain. So, I think we all have
Speaker 1: work friends. But with work friends, you're friendly with them
Speaker 1: because you have to be. You work with them, and
Speaker 1: you only see them at work. You don't socialize, and
Speaker 1: so then when so and so is over, the relationship
Speaker 1: is over. You move on. That's it. Each go your
Speaker 1: separate ways. And normally, what I've experienced is that people
Speaker 1: I used to work with who were work friends, when
Speaker 1: they lose their job, they will reach out to me, Hey,
Speaker 1: do you know anyone the hiring or do you know
Speaker 1: so and so at that radio station over there in Omaha,
Speaker 1: something along those lines. Also, Jose says, my daughter Marlene
Speaker 1: says hello, Hello, Marlene. She says hello again. She is
Speaker 1: nine and loves your show, listens to everything on the
Speaker 1: radio show, on the podcast, and wants to know when
Speaker 1: the Malard merch is coming out. Well, Jose, were we've
Speaker 1: had a setback. I feel back because every time I
Speaker 1: talk about this stuff, I think we're close to something.
Speaker 1: Something inevitbly happened. It's Maler's law, not Murphy's law. It's
Speaker 1: Maler's law. So I thought there were two things I've
Speaker 1: talked about a lot on this podcast, the Ohio meet
Speaker 1: and greet, which we thought we had nailed down. Somebody
Speaker 1: bailed out last minute, and I just said, I screw it,
Speaker 1: We'll just wait until next year. We'll just wait until
Speaker 1: next year. No one has reached out to step up
Speaker 1: for the Ohio Malor Meet and greet. We did have
Speaker 1: somebody lined up that was going to kind of be
Speaker 1: boots on the ground and had said they had a
Speaker 1: venue and all this stuff, and unfortunately they turned out
Speaker 1: to be a flake, which is it happens and that's
Speaker 1: just life. They said, some stuff happened. They couldn't do
Speaker 1: it anymore, which is disappointing, and we'll figure it out
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six. The other thing is the malor merch.
Speaker 1: I had some stuff lined up. There were some logos
Speaker 1: that I had been sent some different products that the
Speaker 1: person I won't say their name here because this still
Speaker 1: could work out. A person who's a fan of show
Speaker 1: had sent some stuff over said what do you think
Speaker 1: of this? What do you think of that? You know
Speaker 1: we can sell this, we can sell that, blah blah blah,
Speaker 1: T shirt ideas, all this stuff, and now I'm all ears.
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, you know it sounds good. Let's you
Speaker 1: know that's what's going to take to start this. Let's
Speaker 1: get this thing started. Oh, you need a website. Okay,
Speaker 1: we'll get a website. Fine, all right, we've got to
Speaker 1: price it out. Okay, we'll price it out. Do you
Speaker 1: want to have stuff available all the time? Do you
Speaker 1: want a limited edition? I said, well, let's let's do
Speaker 1: limited edition. Do you want to have pre order? I said, sure,
Speaker 1: why not, we'll save some money. Well, and we'll make it.
Speaker 1: We'll make this stuff more valuable. So I was going
Speaker 1: through all this stuff, Jose, I was like, okay, so
Speaker 1: we'll have a limited run, one shirt every couple of months,
Speaker 1: and then first come, first serve. When they're sold out,
Speaker 1: they're sold out, limited edition, and that's that. And and
Speaker 1: so that thing is on hold not now. That is
Speaker 1: unlike the Ohio thing, which the guy said I can't
Speaker 1: do it, and I haven't heard from him since. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: that was gonna be in the Cincinnati area. Had a
Speaker 1: said he had a venue picked out, a place there
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. I don't know what Cincinnati pizza is like.
Speaker 1: I hope it's better than the chili, which Justin says
Speaker 1: is disgusting. U. So we'll keep you posted, Jose and
Speaker 1: your cute little daughter there, mar Lee, and so we'll
Speaker 1: see what happens next up. Scott from Florida writes in, says, Hey, Ben,
Speaker 1: so it sounds like the malarmobile has massive mileage. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that is correct. That would be accurate if you were
Speaker 1: to replace it. In a dream world, would the new
Speaker 1: Malarmobile be a Malar Mitsubishi, a Malarmiata or a Malar
Speaker 1: Mazarati or a Malar Mercedes, Or would you just trade
Speaker 1: it back to the Maybach dealership where you originally bought
Speaker 1: it for a newer model. Maybe go a different direction
Speaker 1: like a Malard motorcycle or a Malar moped. I see
Speaker 1: what you did there, Scott. Very very funny, very funny.
Speaker 1: The most comfortable car that I have ever driven in
Speaker 1: I've told this story in the past. If you've heard
Speaker 1: it before, just fast. The most comfortable car I've ever
Speaker 1: driven was in Cleveland. We were at the World Series
Speaker 1: years ago and we rented the only car that was available.
Speaker 1: We did not plan on renting this. When we got
Speaker 1: to the airport, they said, we have one car left,
Speaker 1: take it or that's it. It was a full size
Speaker 1: Lincoln Continental and is the most enjoyable rental car I've
Speaker 1: ever had. And that seat and that Lincoln Continental was
Speaker 1: like sitting on your sofa. We were driving around northern
Speaker 1: Ohio and we stayed so far we were covering the
Speaker 1: World Series. We stayed right near the Pennsylvania line. There
Speaker 1: was this out in the Boondocks we drove by. I
Speaker 1: don't even know if it's still there. It was like
Speaker 1: a SeaWorld Ohio thing that was this how long ago?
Speaker 1: This was that was really comfortable, really really comfortable. I
Speaker 1: will never buy another new car. I don't make daytime
Speaker 1: radio money. Don't make daytime radio money, so by a
Speaker 1: pre owned, certified pre owned is the way to go.
Speaker 1: Even that's expense, even that's expensive. Next up on the mailbag,
Speaker 1: Art from Nevada writes in and says, hey, Ben, I
Speaker 1: saw that your buddy Lebron recently revealed that golf is
Speaker 1: his hobby, saying that he's addicted to the sport. Are
Speaker 1: you a golf guy? No, I had golf clubs. I
Speaker 1: would golf once a year. Art and Golf's one of
Speaker 1: those things where you have to have a lot of
Speaker 1: free time and you gotta have a little bit of
Speaker 1: money in order for it to work. I don't have
Speaker 1: a lot of free time. I have a daily talk show,
Speaker 1: I have a podcast. I work seven days a week,
Speaker 1: so that's a problem. I don't have a lot of money.
Speaker 1: I do. Okay, I'm not poor whatever, I just am not.
Speaker 1: People come up to me and they think that I'm
Speaker 1: making Coward money and I'm not even making as much
Speaker 1: as Cowhard's boardop. Okay, so that is not happening. Okay,
Speaker 1: that is not happening. But I got rid of my
Speaker 1: golf clubs, and I was trying to get some. In fact,
Speaker 1: if anyone like Who's a Fantas Podcast, if you're a
Speaker 1: fan listening to this, obviously you're still listening to the mailbag,
Speaker 1: if you know where I can get relatively inexpensive golf
Speaker 1: clubs for someone who's of a tall size, because I
Speaker 1: can't use regular golf clubs. I want to get a
Speaker 1: new set of golf clubs. One thing I would really enjoy.
Speaker 1: I don't know that I want to play golf, like
Speaker 1: a full round of golf anytime soon. I don't have
Speaker 1: the time for it. What I do have the time
Speaker 1: for is when I have a really frustrating situation where
Speaker 1: I get upset at somebody maybe I work with, or
Speaker 1: I get upset with the way things are going, or
Speaker 1: I did a bad show, I think it would be
Speaker 1: so cool to take my golf clubs, my tall sized
Speaker 1: golf clubs, my driver and go down to there's a
Speaker 1: couple of golf courses here in the north Woods and
Speaker 1: go to one of the golf courses and just go
Speaker 1: to the driving room and just whack, just absolutely whack
Speaker 1: some golf balls. Just go for it.
Speaker 2: Love.
Speaker 1: I love that. It'd be great. So I've been able
Speaker 1: to find them. If you know, like a little cheat
Speaker 1: code on how to find reasonably priced I'm willing to
Speaker 1: spend a little bit, but not insane. I went to
Speaker 1: a PGA Tour golf store, which was an amazing store.
Speaker 1: They had everything. My god, it was awesome until I
Speaker 1: looked at the price tags and then I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: bye bye bye bye. Next up JT the Wingman on
Speaker 1: the mail bag, he says, Dear Ben and Danny g
Speaker 1: With the holiday season taking full swing, what one thing
Speaker 1: about all the hustle and bustle of family get together
Speaker 1: as work parties, gift giving, holiday feast, new tireraq dot com,
Speaker 1: live reads and holiday music endlessly playing on music radio
Speaker 1: and retail stores? Do you like the most and the least?
Speaker 1: That is from JT. The wing Man. So what I
Speaker 1: do not like is the scams of Black Friday, which
Speaker 1: is coming up not that far away. The scams where
Speaker 1: a lot of these websites right now are raising raising
Speaker 1: the price of everything on their websites. So then in
Speaker 1: ten days or whenever Black Friday is, it's not gonna
Speaker 1: be here. Well what Thanksgivings a week from Thursday? So
Speaker 1: you do the math anyway when they say, hey, we've
Speaker 1: taken forty percent off the price, and then you realize, well,
Speaker 1: you just raised the price by forty percent ten days ago.
Speaker 1: You didn't lower the price. You're just backed to the
Speaker 1: normal price. So the term up to in the artificial
Speaker 1: rigging of the prices. As far as what I like,
Speaker 1: I love the Malar themed holiday music. Hopefully our friend
Speaker 1: Lorena will play that. I'm going to encourage her to
Speaker 1: play those Mallar theme songs the holiday music at least
Speaker 1: one one an hour. I think that would be great.
Speaker 1: Pretty much net neutral. On the parties, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of parties. We've got two We've got a friends party,
Speaker 1: and then we've got a family party that we hosted
Speaker 1: the Malor mansion. So it's give me a lot, a
Speaker 1: lot of baking. I'll be Benny the baker making all
Speaker 1: kinds of delicious stuff for the parties. So I'm okay
Speaker 1: on that. What about you, JT. You should have told me. JT.
Speaker 1: The wingman from just outside Knoxville, Tennessee, Ferg Dog writes
Speaker 1: in from South Fullerton, the meanest part of town. He says, Hey,
Speaker 1: happy Cranberry sauce, Ben and Danny g you made a
Speaker 1: big mistake last week. Ben, you were talking about fixing
Speaker 1: up the old malardmobile and you mentioned not replacing the tires.
Speaker 1: Winter is coming. You should buy a set of Yokohama
Speaker 1: snow tires from tire rack dot com. I did best
Speaker 1: purchase I've ever made. Well, very kind and that's a
Speaker 1: ringing endorsement from Ferg Dog. Anyway, he says, does the
Speaker 1: rule of not talking not taking time off during football
Speaker 1: season only apply to the host, because it seems like
Speaker 1: certain people have taken a lot of time off lately,
Speaker 1: says Ferg Dog. Yeah, Hey, I used to get really
Speaker 1: worked up for Dog. At some point just threw my
Speaker 1: arms in the air and said, I much like football coaches,
Speaker 1: you can only control the controllables. I have a tremendous
Speaker 1: passion for what I do. I realize that not a
Speaker 1: lot of people do for whatever reason. I'm a type
Speaker 1: a personality when it comes to the radio show. It
Speaker 1: is my entire life, and unfortunately, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: people that in general are in radio and they're floaters.
Speaker 1: They're lazy, They're like DMV employees. They show up at
Speaker 1: the last minute, they don't do any work. When you
Speaker 1: ask them to do work, they complain. So I just
Speaker 1: I do everything and that's it, and I don't whether
Speaker 1: they're there or not. One of the great things I've
Speaker 1: learned over the years. When you do everything and the
Speaker 1: people that are supposed to prop you up do nothing
Speaker 1: and they don't show up, it doesn't matter. The show's
Speaker 1: the same because they don't add anything that important to
Speaker 1: the show. So it is actually one of the cool
Speaker 1: things about this is that I'm very confident whoever I
Speaker 1: end up, whatever, I've worked with a bunch of people
Speaker 1: naming any names here, But when someone I've worked with
Speaker 1: hasn't been there at any point, I'm like, at one
Speaker 1: point I was like, oh man, I really need this person,
Speaker 1: and then I was let down so many times by
Speaker 1: people I work with that I just realized, no, I'm
Speaker 1: never going to depend on anyone because they don't do it.
Speaker 1: So I control the controllables and I just worry about
Speaker 1: what I can do to make the show great. And
Speaker 1: that's it. Barry from South Carolina, right say, says Yo Yo, Ma,
Speaker 1: Benny and Danny g Now Barry's the guy that helped
Speaker 1: put together the great Charleston Mallar meet and greet that
Speaker 1: we did. He says, So you can buy a Bob
Speaker 1: Ross painting? Are you gonna buy one? And then he
Speaker 1: points out that there were three Bob Ross paintings that
Speaker 1: hit the auction block and fans can drop fifty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars and own a happy little original. Well, that's a
Speaker 1: great question, Barry. I was a huge Bob Ross fan.
Speaker 1: I did not realize at the time I was a
Speaker 1: Bob Ross fan. I used to skip out on school
Speaker 1: because I hated going to school, and I would sit
Speaker 1: home and we didn't have the internet, so I was
Speaker 1: a prisoner of television, and I would watch The Prices
Speaker 1: right in the morning, and there were some other game
Speaker 1: shows that were on, and then about midday they rolled
Speaker 1: out the soap operas. Well, I don't care about soapropers.
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's not my jam. I didn't like
Speaker 1: the drama at the time, so then I would flip
Speaker 1: over to and inevitably at some point Bob Ross would
Speaker 1: be on there with his happy little mistakes and all that,
Speaker 1: and I just have that. And it was always fascinating
Speaker 1: to me, even as a kid. Bob Ross could take
Speaker 1: this little piece of canvas, this blank canvas, and paint
Speaker 1: the forest and the mountains and all that. I thought,
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. Unfortunately, Barry, I do not have fifty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. That would be a hell of a gift.
Speaker 1: That would be a hell of a gift if someone
Speaker 1: wants to send that in feel free. What else do
Speaker 1: we have? Let's see here page down Kwang from Ho
Speaker 1: Chi Minh, Vietnam Rights. He says, Ben, it sounds like
Speaker 1: Jed who fled had one of the two types of
Speaker 1: myo cardial infractions art attacks, it says. St STEMI occurs
Speaker 1: when a coronary artery is completely blocked, causing significant damage
Speaker 1: to the heart muscle, and then category number two occurs
Speaker 1: when the coronary artery is partially blocked, causing less severe damage.
Speaker 1: So mal or militia, let's get into it and get
Speaker 1: a regular checkup, please and thank you, he says. Ps.
Speaker 1: I do miss that. Martina navert Tolova drop from Quay
Speaker 1: Well you know, Danny g you'll probably put that in
Speaker 1: right here. Danny, you want to, Danny, can you can
Speaker 1: you put that Martina Navert Toloba drop in? Yeah, we'll see,
Speaker 1: We'll see if you can do it. Yeah, find it now, okay,
Speaker 1: Alf writes in from the fast lane. He says, greetings, gentlemen,
Speaker 1: have you ever had a vanity license plate or specialty plate?
Speaker 1: Here in the Commonwealth, we have all kinds of specialty
Speaker 1: plates that benefit causes like the Jimmy Fund, sports specific
Speaker 1: plates like six time champion Pats and Basketball Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame and a newly res released Doctor Seuss plate to
Speaker 1: name a few. That's pretty cool. Well, I've never had
Speaker 1: specialty plates. When I first started driving, my mom is like,
Speaker 1: you got to get a specialty plate because she had
Speaker 1: a specialty plate which had the name of the business,
Speaker 1: the family business that she had started on the car
Speaker 1: to promote the business. So she got me clip Fan.
Speaker 1: I had the license plate clip Fan custom plate in
Speaker 1: Socaw that was that was my license plate. And you know,
Speaker 1: for a few years when I was in like high
Speaker 1: school and the clippers were terrible, and I always get
Speaker 1: these looks like I was driving people like what are
Speaker 1: you doing with that? I was like, well, my mom
Speaker 1: thought it would be a good idea, you know if
Speaker 1: they did it, and yeah, that was that was it.
Speaker 1: But those are really cool. I don't do we have
Speaker 1: those in California. I would if I lived in the
Speaker 1: common with I'd get the Doctor Seuss. I'd go for
Speaker 1: the Doctor Seuss. Frank from Vancouver rights in and he says, hey, Ben,
Speaker 1: your monologue on the Packers par particularly Micah Parsons after
Speaker 1: the embarrassing loss, was a bit off base, Frank, and
Speaker 1: Vancouver says, first off, to give you your props. The
Speaker 1: Packer offense at Jordan Love have been poopoo, coca and poopoo.
Speaker 1: I don't know why. It may be that he's not
Speaker 1: that good. Lafleur may be a bonehead. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe Love just isn't good and we Packer fans would
Speaker 1: be asking to win the lottery one more time at quarterback,
Speaker 1: which would be insane. Of course I wish, but insane. Anyways,
Speaker 1: says where you were way off base is your criticism
Speaker 1: of Michael Parts. He may not have had any sacks,
Speaker 1: not a lot of pressures had none, but the other
Speaker 1: guys did. He made them look good unselfishly, he says.
Speaker 1: It says analogize that to your show, you make Lorena
Speaker 1: and or Coop the Loop look good or vice versa. Well,
Speaker 1: I would love to have you, Frank as my boss.
Speaker 1: I would love to In fact, I'm gonna take credit
Speaker 1: for Dan Patrick and Colin Cowhart going in the Radio
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, and I'm gonna say that I made
Speaker 1: them look good unselfishly. As a talk show host, everyone
Speaker 1: knows the most important part. If you were to look
Speaker 1: at the pyramid of radio, the overnight show is the
Speaker 1: most important thing. And so because we have a strong
Speaker 1: overnight show, that helped Dan Patrick, and it helped Calherd
Speaker 1: get into the Hall of Fame. And so really, I
Speaker 1: made those guys look good. I'm using the Frank in
Speaker 1: Vancouver logic on this. Frank says, is a die hard
Speaker 1: packer apologist. I gotta say, this is the first time
Speaker 1: in years that we didn't need to go score forty
Speaker 1: points in order to win a game. This defense, other
Speaker 1: than one stinker which everyone has had, is great to
Speaker 1: the point we only need fourteen points to win the issue,
Speaker 1: of course, is that we can't somehow get to fourteen
Speaker 1: points anymore. Nevermind forty, go pack, go Frank in Vancouver. Well, Frank,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, thank you for listening. And I
Speaker 1: love that you were so taken aback by my take
Speaker 1: on Micah Parsons that you got all upset. Yeah. I've
Speaker 1: gotten a lot of angry emails this week about monologues,
Speaker 1: which tells me that I'm doing something right. That apparently
Speaker 1: they tell me to have a strong opinion about things.
Speaker 1: That's kind of the job. It goes with the job.
Speaker 1: And when you have strong opinions, guys like Frank and
Speaker 1: Vancouver get upset. I've had several people who are Yankee
Speaker 1: fans very upset with me. You are so wrong about
Speaker 1: cal Rawley. I can't believe it. Oh my god. And
Speaker 1: it's always like I used to like your show and
Speaker 1: I can't listen anymore. And I'm like, Okay, that's fine,
Speaker 1: you don't have to listen. I mean, I do get
Speaker 1: paid whether you listen or not. I mean, it's nice
Speaker 1: if you listen. It's more fun to have more people listening.
Speaker 1: But if you're that hurt by an opinion, then just
Speaker 1: listen to the Yankee postgame show, listen to Yankee Talk.
Speaker 1: It's like I told those people with KERSHAWF you're upset
Speaker 1: with my opinion of kershaw'll just listen to guys like
Speaker 1: David Vasse, the mouthpiece for the Dodgers, Wow. And you
Speaker 1: know he's got his knee pads on and he'll give
Speaker 1: you everything you need on that every pot positive Dodger
Speaker 1: propaganda piece he'll give you. I'm not that guy. I'm
Speaker 1: critical and that creates problems. I will get out on that.
Speaker 1: I got football to watch, I got things to do.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thank you for listening all weekend.
Speaker 1: You just had me a solo version on the Fifth
Speaker 1: Hour podcast. Be well, enjoy the football. I'll be back
Speaker 1: tonight on the radio all night long. No days off,
Speaker 1: no days off this week, So we'll do that and
Speaker 1: we'll catch you on the flip side tonight later. Skater,
Speaker 1: go away, gotta murder. I gotta go
