Speaker 1: Kubbooms.
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 soul 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: Maller and Danny g Radio Happy Sundays. Sunday Sunday. It
Speaker 1: is the twentieth day of October. It is a football Sunday, Danny,
Speaker 1: a football palloza. Now I realize at this point the
Speaker 1: NFL season, Danny, not quite as enjoyable for you as
Speaker 1: it was a few weeks ago, nor for me. Okay,
Speaker 1: I feel like we're in the same boat and our
Speaker 1: worlds are colliding today, Danny, it's the Raiders in the Rams.
Speaker 1: It's the Fifth Hour Battle Royale in the Hood in Inglewood.
Speaker 1: Later this doing the Raiders, your Raiders and my La Rams,
Speaker 1: and that is a chance for the Raiders to get
Speaker 1: back to three and four. My rams are not very good.
Speaker 1: Right now, they can't stop anybody.
Speaker 3: I feel like the training staff are the most valuable
Speaker 3: asset that the Las Vegas Raiders have right now. They
Speaker 3: have so many damn injuries it's not funny. And then
Speaker 3: suddenly they start getting penalties all over the field. Last
Speaker 3: week their differential was at minus seven. It's like last
Speaker 3: in the league their turnover differential. So it's not been
Speaker 3: fun the past couple of weekends. But they will see
Speaker 3: what happens. Man, this is like a battle of draft position.
Speaker 3: So so disappointed.
Speaker 1: And you know Ad and O'Connell was not I mean
Speaker 1: I know no.
Speaker 3: You called it at best a lateral move and the
Speaker 3: old saying in the NFL, two quarterbacks equal no quarterback,
Speaker 3: and unfortunately that's how it's panned out. I blame all
Speaker 3: of this ben on the Atlanta Falcons because I really
Speaker 3: feel like Pennix Junior would have been throwing darts and
Speaker 3: bombs all over the field. It's unfortunate that I didn't
Speaker 3: get to watch him in silver and black this season.
Speaker 1: Well, now you got Tom Brady. That's gotta be tough,
Speaker 1: right Tom f and.
Speaker 3: Brady if he could bring some brains, kind of put
Speaker 3: his brains into Mark Davis's Bowl cut head. It's only good.
Speaker 1: The point of no return. There's two points in no
Speaker 1: return for the Raiders that Carolina loss. I still don't
Speaker 1: know how they did not show up. I knew they
Speaker 1: were going to have a tru I know it was
Speaker 1: gonna be tough. I didn't think they would cover the spread.
Speaker 1: I took Carolina on the TV show. But to lose
Speaker 1: the game and get their doors blown off Carolina, how
Speaker 1: does that happen? Thirty three to seven?
Speaker 3: I know that's unforgivable that they came out flat in
Speaker 3: that game, the home opener. There's only one silver lining
Speaker 3: that I've seen so far this season. DJ Glaze and
Speaker 3: Jackson Powers. Both dudes look like home runs. And that
Speaker 3: means to LESCo, like you did with the Chargers as
Speaker 3: far as selecting players, he's really really good. So I
Speaker 3: know you gave the Raiders a D grade on that
Speaker 3: Adams trade, but I feel more confident at least going
Speaker 3: into the next draft.
Speaker 1: I yeah, I don't. It's such a gema when you
Speaker 1: think you know what you're doing, it's such a crapshoot.
Speaker 1: And hey, I you know, as you know, I know
Speaker 1: some people over the Raiders. I hope they do well.
Speaker 1: I'm pulling for them. But there are three four games
Speaker 1: in a row. After the Ravens win. We talked about
Speaker 1: it like the next four or five games, all of
Speaker 1: them really winnable games. They have played four of them.
Speaker 1: They're one in three and they got blown out in
Speaker 1: three of the four games. Obviously they won the one
Speaker 1: against the Browns, but they got blown out by the Broncos,
Speaker 1: who look, I know you don't want to admit this,
Speaker 1: but they look like at least a wildcard team, a
Speaker 1: contender for a wildless but they have a really good defense.
Speaker 1: They have no quarterback, but they can run the ball.
Speaker 1: Special teams are all right, and they appear to have
Speaker 1: a decent defense in Denvers. So that's the formula to
Speaker 1: get to where you need to be to be in
Speaker 1: a wildcard position in the AFC.
Speaker 3: Even if boat Nicks looks like an average rookie. I
Speaker 3: praised their defense on fsr's airwaves. Their defense looks legit.
Speaker 1: Are we doing sporty talk? Is that what we're doing?
Speaker 3: We started I think we started yesterday's podcast the same way.
Speaker 3: But don't worry because the rest of the twenty five
Speaker 3: minutes is grab ass.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we're just gonna gonna fuck them on the pretendo.
Speaker 1: So to prove that point. To prove that point, we
Speaker 1: have the mail bag where I promise we'll get to it.
Speaker 1: We had. I have the idiom of the week, Idiom
Speaker 1: of the week, the Friday Pot. You were not with
Speaker 1: me on the Friday Pot. The Friday Pot we did.
Speaker 1: This is so funny. This guy Scott, not blind Scott,
Speaker 1: this other guy from New York, I think he's in
Speaker 1: New York. He sent me a message. He says, hey,
Speaker 1: can you look up the origins of blowing smoke up
Speaker 1: your ass? So that was wild, Danny. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you heard the Friday Pot, but they that was
Speaker 1: actually a medical procedure. They treated people by blowing smoke
Speaker 1: up their ass when they thought they were drowning or whatever,
Speaker 1: or they were trying to get them to come back
Speaker 1: from death. So today is tongue in cheek, Tongue in cheek,
Speaker 1: and this is the obvious. You know, hey, that was
Speaker 1: said tongue in cheek. You know you're poking the bulge
Speaker 1: in your cheek and all that.
Speaker 3: This that's also what a girl did to me in
Speaker 3: the seventh grade.
Speaker 1: Hey, oh yeah, always remember the first time you get
Speaker 1: that French kiss, So in the seventeen hundreds. In the
Speaker 1: seventeen hundreds, this goes all the way back. You know,
Speaker 1: people may may have poked their cheek with their tongues
Speaker 1: to indicate skepticism. They're not sure the modern meeting though,
Speaker 1: they are sure about this eighteen forty two. The phrase
Speaker 1: at that point they go back by recorded written history.
Speaker 1: It indicates that someone or something you know tends to
Speaker 1: be humorously ironic, so that goes back to eighteen forty two.
Speaker 1: It was first used in documentation by Sir Walter Scott,
Speaker 1: and he's a novelist. Sir Walter Scott used the phrase
Speaker 1: in The Fair Maid of Perth Never Heard of It
Speaker 1: eighteen twenty eight, so that goes back before eighteen forty two.
Speaker 1: The earliest known use of the phrase tongue in cheek
Speaker 1: as an adverb was in eighteen fifty six, and it's
Speaker 1: been used off and on. Obviously, no not all the time,
Speaker 1: but since the mid eighteen hundreds, and the earliest evidence
Speaker 1: of the phrase in another location nineteen thirty three. The
Speaker 1: Times literary supplement that must be really good reading, unless
Speaker 1: it's not really good reading unless it is not. But
Speaker 1: that is the idiom of the week. Tongue in cheek,
Speaker 1: your idiom of the week. Should we get to the
Speaker 1: mailbag right now?
Speaker 3: Let's do it.
Speaker 1: Here we go, it's this mailbag. Thank you, ohioal. I
Speaker 1: haven't heard from Ohio in a while. I hope he's
Speaker 1: doing all right and still listening and hearing his work
Speaker 1: on this podcast. So in the mailbag, these are actual
Speaker 1: questions by actual listeners. We will ripple through these questions.
Speaker 1: These are actual messages. You can submit them via our
Speaker 1: email Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. I haven't
Speaker 1: used the Facebook page for this in a while. I
Speaker 1: just pour myself out to get you to watch Benny
Speaker 1: Versus the Penny on Instagram and Facebook. So I can
Speaker 1: go back to requesting questions on that. But we've done
Speaker 1: really well. Fortunately the podcast is doing well enough. We
Speaker 1: have a large enough spectrum. See what I did their
Speaker 1: tongue in cheek of listeners, Danny that we have enough
Speaker 1: people with the question. So the first one in is
Speaker 1: from Alf from the Chief CEC says is Ben, will
Speaker 1: you be making the sojourn to the new taj Mahal
Speaker 1: the Insuit Dome to watch your team, the Clippers, and
Speaker 1: visit with Stay awake with Jake Warner and Chuck the Condor,
Speaker 1: Great Question Alf, the Mecca of basketball, the Holy Land
Speaker 1: of the NBA, the Palace in the hood in Inglewood.
Speaker 3: I was just going to say, have fun driving to
Speaker 3: Inglewood for that, Ben.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I've decided that it's a game time decision.
Speaker 1: I've reached out to some of the Clipper people to
Speaker 1: let them know, hey, I'm interested.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did. Clipper Darryl reply to you.
Speaker 1: You don't have to be jealous because he's a friend.
Speaker 1: You don't need to be jealous. There's no need for jealousy.
Speaker 1: It's okay. I've had him on this podcast before. Maybe
Speaker 1: I'll get him on again. I don't like to burn bridges. No, no,
Speaker 1: So I thought Opening Night's gonna be just over the top.
Speaker 1: And I wasn't the first game ever played at Staple
Speaker 1: Center back when I was called Staple Center, and that
Speaker 1: was kind of cool to say I was there. Anybody
Speaker 1: on the Clippers is half of what Kobe Bryant is,
Speaker 1: part of me wants to be at the first spot here.
Speaker 1: And then it's also depressing that this will be the
Speaker 1: fourth arena the Clippers have played in since I started
Speaker 1: in the media, and that really is like, wow, I'm
Speaker 1: becoming old, Like that is insane. The first the arena
Speaker 1: of the La Sports Arena no longer exists. They blew
Speaker 1: that thing up for a soccer stadium. Staples Center has
Speaker 1: had a different name and all kinds of craziness that's
Speaker 1: gone on down there. And now they played at the
Speaker 1: Pond in Anaheim for it was like eight to ten
Speaker 1: games something like that. They had a package of games
Speaker 1: in Anaheim for years back in the early two thousands.
Speaker 1: So this will be the fourth arena. And yeah, so
Speaker 1: I'll be out there at some point out whether I'm
Speaker 1: there opening night, which is Wednesday. I think I probably
Speaker 1: will go Wednesday because I was worried about the Baseball
Speaker 1: playoff schedule and all that, but it looks like there's
Speaker 1: no games on Wednesday, so I think I'm good in
Speaker 1: that department ed jar guy stay Away with Jake is
Speaker 1: the engineer for the Clipper radio network, so he's out
Speaker 1: there all the time. What is still wrong with the Clippers?
Speaker 3: I feel like we need an updated Clipper drop for
Speaker 3: our show. What is still wrong with Your Clippers? Arena.
Speaker 1: There's nothing. You're just upset because when you have to
Speaker 1: take a piss, you have to you have to wait
Speaker 1: in line, and Clipper you can urinate all you want.
Speaker 1: And there's p in the air everywhere. And by the way.
Speaker 3: Oh I saw this, I saw this. You're going to
Speaker 3: talk about the free burger.
Speaker 1: No, I don't need to bring that up. You can
Speaker 1: bring that up if you want. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: bring that up.
Speaker 3: But Bomber. Bomber is doing promotions where they have like
Speaker 3: audio meters on each seat and if you're the loudest
Speaker 3: person throughout the entire game, he's going to give you
Speaker 3: a free hamburger.
Speaker 1: Why is that bad? Who doesn't like a free hamburger?
Speaker 3: Man? No, gay, I want something more than a free hamburger.
Speaker 3: If I'm going to scream for you for two hours.
Speaker 1: What do you want to share of Microsoft stock from bombs? Yeah?
Speaker 1: All right, listen, you're jealous that the Clipper fans.
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, I mean it's wonderful that you have
Speaker 3: a new arena. Just how about if I was talking
Speaker 3: to Bomber, though, I'd be like a burger. How about
Speaker 3: you concentrate on winning? How about that?
Speaker 1: Well, Kawhi Leonard is in mid season form? Is he
Speaker 1: is right where he is? Actually's in playoff form, Kawhi Leonard,
Speaker 1: He's ready to go. He's right where he usually is
Speaker 1: when it comes playoff time, getting hemorrhoids on the bench.
Speaker 3: So that is that is good.
Speaker 1: But I'll be again. I'll be out there. Thank you
Speaker 1: for asking. And I am a little concerned about the
Speaker 1: parking situation, so I have to make sure everything's I
Speaker 1: don't pay for parking, as you know, so as long
Speaker 1: as they have parking, I will attend. I am such
Speaker 1: a radio loser Kevin in Kansas right since, says dear
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny G I have listened to every hour
Speaker 1: of every show since April of twenty twenty, God bless you,
Speaker 1: including the real fifth hour. I consider myself reasonably smart. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're a teacher for a long time. But I cannot,
Speaker 1: for the life of me figure out the joke behind
Speaker 1: that pops up periodically the Royals are having their problems
Speaker 1: on the road. I try and try to figure it
Speaker 1: out what is going on with that drug? But I
Speaker 1: admit defeat. Could you please enlighten me so I can
Speaker 1: be in on the joke from now on. Sure, So Danny,
Speaker 1: why don't we play it here and then we can
Speaker 1: do a frame by frame breakdown? Would that work for you?
Speaker 1: We play it right now?
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I haven't got to use this drop in
Speaker 3: in a while, so it's nice to refresh it.
Speaker 4: Royals having their problems on the road. I'm Ben Mala,
Speaker 4: Kansas City, fighting for the American Lake Central with the
Speaker 4: White Sox. They're in Texas on this Labor Day and
Speaker 4: the Rangers bombing away looks so refreshing.
Speaker 2: I've decided to put on my twin trunks and dive
Speaker 2: right in.
Speaker 3: How is it? If you would see me now, you
Speaker 3: would know.
Speaker 1: Clearly not the highlight that I don't know what that was.
Speaker 4: Mark Deciero two home runs and the Rangers on top
Speaker 4: six to two.
Speaker 1: Okay, so that makes playing Kevin why, that's that's funny?
Speaker 3: I first let me laugh.
Speaker 1: You know, there's no need. This is twenty years old, okay.
Speaker 1: Mark to Cher is not playing anymore. He's not walking
Speaker 1: through that door. So it was a holiday. I was
Speaker 1: doing updates and they they had gotten rid of one
Speaker 1: of Tony Bruno's producers on his show, and the guy
Speaker 1: on his way out sabotaged a bunch of sound bites.
Speaker 1: So I'm in the main studio. Art, the great Art Martinez.
Speaker 1: You know Danny. He's a celebrity at the Mallard parties.
Speaker 1: So Art was my engineer, one of the great engineers
Speaker 1: in race. I love Art, amazing man, radio man, military man,
Speaker 1: semperfy so Art what he had done. I'm doing the update.
Speaker 1: I tossed the art to hit the sound very simple,
Speaker 1: it's Radio one oh one. So I do the intro.
Speaker 1: I tossed the art for the highlight of the home run,
Speaker 1: and I said, the Royals are having their problems on
Speaker 1: the road. And we go to the sound bite and
Speaker 1: the person that had been let go sabotage the SoundBite
Speaker 1: and they recorded this weird sounding I don't even know
Speaker 1: what that is, like a commercial, I guess, I don't
Speaker 1: even know what the f that is. So anyway, al
Speaker 1: alf alf was the lost so Kevin so Art not
Speaker 1: alf Art hits the button, but then Art stands up
Speaker 1: because that was the only SoundBite I was playing during
Speaker 1: the update. He stands up, he's not listening. He turns
Speaker 1: his back and walks towards the back of the room
Speaker 1: he's in and I have no way of stopping it.
Speaker 1: I've never heard this before. It's not the SoundBite I
Speaker 1: asked for. And I'm waiting for an F bomb or
Speaker 1: you know, some kind of profanity in the middle of it,
Speaker 1: and and I was waving my arms, but it didn't
Speaker 1: know good. It was futile because Artie wasn't looking. So
Speaker 1: then I started getting pissed off, and I started bank
Speaker 1: you can hear in the SoundBite and play it again.
Speaker 1: But I kept banging my hand on the table because
Speaker 1: I was getting pissed off because I didn't know what
Speaker 1: to do. I was like, what am I supposed to do?
Speaker 3: And so that's why the drop evolved though, because when
Speaker 3: I started playing it on a regular basis on your
Speaker 3: Overnight show, the crew got a kick out of how
Speaker 3: high pitched your voice was.
Speaker 1: Royal's having their problems on the road. I'm Ben Mallik. Well,
Speaker 1: I started, it was child labor. I started it was
Speaker 1: running like a Nike sweatshop, and that's when I started.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so there's a great story behind how that drop
Speaker 3: came about. But I think overall, the quality, the tone,
Speaker 3: the pitch of your voice is what put it into
Speaker 3: the Marconi Hall of fame, and that's why it still
Speaker 3: lives in infamy.
Speaker 1: I've been at Fox Sports Radio for what is it
Speaker 1: twenty three or twenty four years now, but I'm only
Speaker 1: twenty seven, so you can do the math on that.
Speaker 1: I started as a toddler, and I think things, you know,
Speaker 1: all things considered, you know, normally. So that's it given.
Speaker 1: I hope that answers.
Speaker 3: Your yeah, your question. So basically, Ben will be in
Speaker 3: a motorized scooter doing live FSR goes in a matter
Speaker 3: of months.
Speaker 1: I'll be breaking down the great grandchildren of the people
Speaker 1: I first started talking about when I started at Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. I think that might be happening next week.
Speaker 1: The way things are going.
Speaker 3: Hot Sports takes from newspaper clippings.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly. The highest speed sports wire.
Speaker 1: Mike in the great City of Fullerton rights and he says, Hi,
Speaker 1: Bend and Danny G. Given the current state of our
Speaker 1: writers and a possible incoming fire sale, I'd like to
Speaker 1: apologize to Danny G out of pity. I'm sorry. There's
Speaker 1: always next year, at least, he says. And then also
Speaker 1: he says, as great as Fullerton is, Mike, who may
Speaker 1: or may not be related to fer Dog. It is
Speaker 1: unfortunately a situation that they still have ants. He says,
Speaker 1: So how do you guys deal with ant problems and
Speaker 1: the Malor Mansion, at the Malor Mansion of the Ghiri
Speaker 1: Delli Garden. Have you tried traps or poisonous baits or
Speaker 1: do you just stick with cans of raid? That is
Speaker 1: from Mike in Fullerton. You want to check on.
Speaker 3: The that raid? No, I mean we talked about football
Speaker 3: to start the podcast. Yeah, but that's you'll probably agree
Speaker 3: with me on this. The smell of raid is horrible.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was on team Team Raid until I realized,
Speaker 1: A it doesn't really work and there's other things that
Speaker 1: are much better. And I actually would like to thank
Speaker 1: the audience and I'm going to give out a little
Speaker 1: life hack. All right, this is Benny d do it yourself,
Speaker 1: Benny with the wide powerful microphone, the each of Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. I don't know if you were with me
Speaker 1: or not. It might have been before you were around.
Speaker 1: I had a massive ant infestation at the Malor Mansion,
Speaker 1: the previous Malor mansion, and it was bad and I
Speaker 1: got rid of them and they came right back, and
Speaker 1: I didn't know what to do. And so I had
Speaker 1: a moment of weakness on the on the radio show,
Speaker 1: and I was like, listen, does anyone know what I
Speaker 1: can do? I use these raid things, I use all
Speaker 1: this crap. Nothing works. And these guys they recommended a
Speaker 1: product that I have used ever since then, and anytime
Speaker 1: I see ants, I put this down and within a
Speaker 1: couple of days, it's all gone, all the ants are gone.
Speaker 1: You know what product I'm talking about, Danny Canoe cologne. No,
Speaker 1: it's the it's Tarot liquid ant killer bait. And you
Speaker 1: get it at home depot lows or any.
Speaker 3: Ye remember you bringing this up before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So these things it's really simple, chills all common
Speaker 1: household ants. It's filled. All you do is you snap
Speaker 1: off the little tab, You pour a little bit out
Speaker 1: of it, a little bit of the liquid out of it,
Speaker 1: and it attracts the ants. And they put like six
Speaker 1: six or so of these little things in there, and
Speaker 1: the ants eat all the goo and then they're so excited.
Speaker 1: It's a feeding frenzy. And those little buggers they go
Speaker 1: back to the queen ant and they give the food
Speaker 1: to the queen ant. And then she.
Speaker 3: Died and then so the assassinator.
Speaker 1: They all die. Yeah, it's awesome. It is so. It
Speaker 1: is such a great product. I have tried a bunch
Speaker 1: of different things. They don't they're not a sponsor. They
Speaker 1: should be.
Speaker 3: Feels like something that doctor Evil invented.
Speaker 1: It's awesome. I don't know how they came up up
Speaker 1: with that. I don't even know what that liquid is.
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I don't really care, but man,
Speaker 1: it works. It is the way to go. But there
Speaker 1: is a caution. I think it is bad. It's going
Speaker 1: to keep out of reach of children. I don't know
Speaker 1: what's actually in there, but it's definitely not like RAID.
Speaker 1: Like RAID, you feel like there's poison in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1: With Raid. This it's just like some water with some
Speaker 1: other crap in there and all. And they also have
Speaker 1: an outdoor version that does not work as well, at
Speaker 1: least it didn't work well for me. The indoor one, though,
Speaker 1: is next level.
Speaker 3: This is way your answer is way better than mine.
Speaker 3: My solution was to take missus Garadelli's aquainet, get a
Speaker 3: lighter and create my own blowtorch and get the ant
Speaker 3: trail like that. But you might start a fire.
Speaker 1: Well, that would be the much more enjoyable way to go.
Speaker 1: That would be the more enjoyable way to go. What
Speaker 1: I'm doing is is more practical, but yours would be
Speaker 1: more entertaining, and you'd get a lot of hits on
Speaker 1: the YouTube and all that stuff. So good luck by
Speaker 1: you can light me on fire with no hose. Next
Speaker 1: up is Kwang from Vietnam. Listening to the Fifth Hour podcast.
Speaker 1: He says in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, this actually
Speaker 1: came up on the show. Believe it or not. I
Speaker 1: had a conversation with the wife. She was watching randomly
Speaker 1: The Wizard of Oz, this whole classic move. So I
Speaker 1: of course pointed out that if they made the Wizard
Speaker 1: of Oz the same way they made it then today
Speaker 1: it would have been panned. People would have said it's dopey,
Speaker 1: it's hokey, it sucks. But all of those early Hollywood movies,
Speaker 1: the boom times of Hollywood where they had double showings
Speaker 1: and all that, that period of time, everything is celebrated.
Speaker 1: It's the Goldilock zone for movie making. I watched The
Speaker 1: Creature from the Black Lion with my wife many many
Speaker 1: months ago. Terrible movie. Yet there are references to the
Speaker 1: Creature from the black lagoon all over the place. So
Speaker 1: this was my theory, and this guy called up and
Speaker 1: was we were debating it whatever. So Kwang in Vietnam
Speaker 1: says in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the yellow brick
Speaker 1: road is a symbol of the gold standard. He says,
Speaker 1: the city of Oz is an abbreviation for ounces, a
Speaker 1: unit of measurement for gold and silver. The book is
Speaker 1: considered an allegory of the late nineteenth century debate over
Speaker 1: monetary policy, and the characters and events in the story
Speaker 1: represent various political figures and issues. He says, Dorothy represents
Speaker 1: America and her honest values. Silver's shoes represent the populace
Speaker 1: call to back the dollar with silver. Scarecrow represents the
Speaker 1: American farmer. The tin Men represents the American worker. The
Speaker 1: Cowardly Lion represents William Jennings Bryan. The Wicked Witch of
Speaker 1: the West represented William McKinley, a Republican presidential nominee in
Speaker 1: eighteen ninety six. The Emerald City represented Washington, DC, where
Speaker 1: green is the color of money, and the Great Wizard
Speaker 1: of Oz represents Grover Cleveland, the Democratic President. Says the
Speaker 1: gold standard was the dominant monetary system in the early
Speaker 1: twentieth century, but it was eventually abandoned in favor of
Speaker 1: the US dollar. How much of this do you think
Speaker 1: is true, Danny? And how much of this do you
Speaker 1: think is bullshit?
Speaker 3: This sounds either completely true or completely full of shit,
Speaker 3: like there's no middle.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I bet you it's probably all true, because that's
Speaker 1: a lot to make up. And that sounds like and
Speaker 1: I don't know Kwang he's a fan of the show.
Speaker 1: It sounds like he knew that he had that in
Speaker 1: his back pocket. That's what it sounds like to me.
Speaker 1: Maybe Hank in Tokyo, one of these other guys or
Speaker 1: our guy in the Auto Bond can can let us
Speaker 1: know one of the international guys about the Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 1: But thank you Kwag for your downloads. We dominate downloads
Speaker 1: in Vietnam, Danny. This show is I mean, my God,
Speaker 1: the fifth hour podcast, the number one podcast by an
Speaker 1: overnight radio guy. And of course Danny from Covino and
Speaker 1: Rich that does a separate podcast. We're number one in
Speaker 1: that demographic in Vietnam.
Speaker 3: So you're welcome.
Speaker 1: Dodger ral rights in I don't know who that is.
Speaker 1: He's in Covina, apparently in the San Gabriel Valley of
Speaker 1: so Kelly says, Hey, Ben, do you think that that
Speaker 1: guy you were talking about last week, DJ Spin from
Speaker 1: San Diego has recovered from having a tantrum when you
Speaker 1: trash the Padres. I'm sure he's all right. I like Patrick.
Speaker 1: Patrick's a great supporter of the show DJ Spin. I
Speaker 1: think is what he wants to be known as.
Speaker 3: Whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, was all He seems genuinely upset. But I am fascinating,
Speaker 1: Danny the number of people that love the show when
Speaker 1: I'm ripping someone else's team. But when I'm ripping there,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I am the devil incarnate. I
Speaker 1: just like it's the same I'm not changing anything. I'm
Speaker 1: just the same person. I'm just doing the same material.
Speaker 1: It just happens to be. It happens to be about
Speaker 1: a team you like, and then you know, we whittle
Speaker 1: it down. It doesn't last that long.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think Spin he was slightly annoyed that
Speaker 3: you were ripping the Padres. He was all the way
Speaker 3: annoyed that you called the city of San Diego bush league,
Speaker 3: And I think that's what he was really upset about
Speaker 3: the attack. The attack on his city, Ben because San
Speaker 3: Diego is beautiful for the most part.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and I.
Speaker 3: Except for the Padres fans there.
Speaker 1: And I admitted to him, I said, listen, okay, this
Speaker 1: is improv I'm letting it rip. It's open mic night
Speaker 1: every hour when I'm starting these rents. I mean, I
Speaker 1: have I have some bullet points down, but once I
Speaker 1: get started, once the engine gets going, Danny, yeah, you
Speaker 1: let it rip. You let her rip, and I let
Speaker 1: it rip. And uh, I think I said San Diego
Speaker 1: is a minor league town. Did I say that? I think, yeah.
Speaker 1: I thought it was a good line. He did not
Speaker 1: appreciate it. And uh, you know, how can I really
Speaker 1: hate San Diego. I got my starting radio in San Diego.
Speaker 1: When I was a kid. Growing up, we used to
Speaker 1: go to San Diego. It seemed like every other month
Speaker 1: during the summer to go to the Museum's Baubulla Park,
Speaker 1: the San Diego Zoo, the Wild Animal Park. I mean,
Speaker 1: we're always in San Diego. H So, but the Padres
Speaker 1: did annoy me, and they deserve what they got. The
Speaker 1: Padres deserve what they got.
Speaker 3: Yep. My fondest memory of San Diego, like whenever I
Speaker 3: think San Diego, I think of the smell of giraft poop.
Speaker 1: The draft poop, well that's say.
Speaker 3: One full yeah, because my mom would bring us to
Speaker 3: the San Diego Zoo at least once a year and
Speaker 3: always stand there for way too long looking at the giraffes.
Speaker 1: That's that was your favorite animal growing up. The draft
Speaker 1: that was what you like.
Speaker 3: It was her favorite animal. I wanted to go to
Speaker 3: the lion.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I look at how far.
Speaker 3: The poop falls. Well, yeah, the draft is tall.
Speaker 1: I remember as a kid going into the aquariums in
Speaker 1: the you know, there's like the fish thing where they
Speaker 1: and I never saw anything. I was like, what's this
Speaker 1: the stupidest, you know thing. They're all I don't know
Speaker 1: where they are. They're not here, you know, going to
Speaker 1: that they'd have everyone wanted to have, like a polar
Speaker 1: bear or something like that. And you go in there
Speaker 1: and like it was sleeping in the back, you know,
Speaker 1: and you're like I want to see it, like what
Speaker 1: is going on? You know? And then there's other times
Speaker 1: you'll you'll go to the zoo and you know, the
Speaker 1: two animals will be fing for the kids.
