Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of
Speaker 1: the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
Speaker 1: crackheads in the Ghetto Cutter the same as the rich
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse the clearing House 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, back
Speaker 1: at it again on a Saturday, Saturday, Saturday in the
Speaker 1: Magic Podcast studio at a secret location somewhere in the
Speaker 1: north Woods. I know I can hold the applause. Please,
Speaker 1: We're back at it again here myself, Ben Mallar and
Speaker 1: Danny G Radio. Because four hours a night or noted
Speaker 1: off eight days a week kind of until the holidays,
Speaker 1: and then it will be no days a week. But
Speaker 1: that's that's still a few weeks away from that. But
Speaker 1: we're glad to be here, Danny G. Back at it
Speaker 1: on a Saturday, and this is a nonsensor. There will
Speaker 1: be none of that in the podcast. Nice. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: then let's have some Damn. All I could say is damn. See,
Speaker 1: I'm so trained Ben to knock curse on the radio.
Speaker 1: When I started cursing, Danny. I got people that were
Speaker 1: very upset that said that there was the there was
Speaker 1: a problem with the podcast that I was saying, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I was saying fuck and ship and uh
Speaker 1: asshole and things like that, and they got very upset
Speaker 1: with me. And so I try not to curse because
Speaker 1: it is a bad habit. And I'm sitting in the
Speaker 1: studio I work out of, and I have a mic
Speaker 1: in my hand, and as you know, Danny, when you
Speaker 1: have a mic in your hand, you have to be
Speaker 1: on guard at all times. Let's fudge this up for
Speaker 1: a Saturday. Yeah, exactly, exactly. So I'm still trying to
Speaker 1: recover from the Friday podcast with the dock You got
Speaker 1: the Dock Doc Mike Man. Yeah, yeah, he hijacked it.
Speaker 1: First of all, I couldn't the audio quality was kind
Speaker 1: of crappy the first five minutes, and then I told him,
Speaker 1: as I can't hear you, I think he was big
Speaker 1: timing me on speaker phone. Then I could hear him,
Speaker 1: but then I wish I couldn't hear him because he
Speaker 1: just kind of hijacked the beginning of it, talking about
Speaker 1: his nonsense. But then we got into the good stories.
Speaker 1: Then we got into when when he went to Leavenworth
Speaker 1: Prison to visit Michael Vick that didn't work out so well.
Speaker 1: The funniest part of that to me, Danny was the
Speaker 1: goat head that and he recapping one of the great
Speaker 1: moments in my time at Fox Sports Radio when Doc
Speaker 1: Mike called me up and announced that he wasn't dropping
Speaker 1: a goat head off at the Cubs offices. And then
Speaker 1: I woke up and it was national news, like the
Speaker 1: mayor of Chicago, Rama Manuel at the time, had come
Speaker 1: out and said, we're gonna find out whoever did this,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have Chicago police track this person down.
Speaker 1: This is not right. And I had a voicemail message
Speaker 1: from Doc Mike doing the play by play as he
Speaker 1: as he as he dropped the things things. Fair to say, Danny,
Speaker 1: I don't believe the Chicago police ever caught up the dog,
Speaker 1: at least not for that. It was a lot of
Speaker 1: crickets unfortunate. So that dude is crazy. Yeah, he's a
Speaker 1: lot there, you know a little bit. But on this edition,
Speaker 1: the Saturday issue, We've got Smokey the Bear Radio Parte,
Speaker 1: Jefferson's and Peek a Boo it's a lot of content,
Speaker 1: Danny gy. This is this is free audio content we're
Speaker 1: giving out here. This is unbelievable, amazing thing. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get right to it. So the Life of Mallard Danny,
Speaker 1: as you know, the Saturday podcast all about telling embarrassing tales,
Speaker 1: true tales from my life as I live the radio
Speaker 1: life and try to do a few things other than
Speaker 1: radio during the week. So, uh, last week and this
Speaker 1: is another kitchen related story. Then, so last weekend. I
Speaker 1: like to dabble in the kitchen on the weekends and
Speaker 1: try different things. I make the Mallard pizza every week.
Speaker 1: That's usually on Thursday, I make the Mallard pizza. But
Speaker 1: I've been trying to cook some other things. I usually
Speaker 1: do a lot of desserts, but that gets you fat,
Speaker 1: so I try not to do too much of that.
Speaker 1: Um and another random thing, I just I just decided
Speaker 1: all of a sudden that I need to make not
Speaker 1: I need to make burgers, but not just burgers, smash burgers.
Speaker 1: Now you know the difference, right, and the smash burger.
Speaker 1: It's a thinner burger. And uh, as notice thick does
Speaker 1: it have cheese built into it? No, that's a juicy lucy.
Speaker 1: That's it. That's my next michigas. This is just it's uh,
Speaker 1: you take a meat ball and you put it on
Speaker 1: like a grittle, and then you put something heavy on
Speaker 1: top of it and flattens it real thin, and and
Speaker 1: you put spices on it taste really good? Do you
Speaker 1: head but it? Yeah? Yeah, well you could head but it.
Speaker 1: I don't recommend it kind of hot, so it might
Speaker 1: burn you a little bit. But if you're into that
Speaker 1: kind of thing, you know, so I'm on even catch
Speaker 1: you making the smash burgers. And so the greatest home
Speaker 1: made burger is the smash burger. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you're you're a cook or not, Danny, but if you
Speaker 1: do get into it's pretty easy to make. You know.
Speaker 1: I'm not that bright, I know how to make him. So,
Speaker 1: but I actually did some recon work because I didn't
Speaker 1: want to just make smash burgers. I wanted to make
Speaker 1: the greatest smash burger you could possibly make. So I
Speaker 1: fell down a rabbit hole on the YouTube, and I'm
Speaker 1: watching all of these things, you know, and trying to
Speaker 1: figure out exactly what's the proper, proper way to do it.
Speaker 1: So I I watched probably four or five videos and
Speaker 1: they're ten or fifteen minutes each, and um, I did
Speaker 1: give the pointers and all this stuff. So I go
Speaker 1: to the grocery store and I didn't drop the charaki sauce.
Speaker 1: Nothing bad happened to the grocery store. Everything was fine, uh,
Speaker 1: and I got all everything I needed to get the meat.
Speaker 1: I get the spices already, have the spices, uh, the cheese,
Speaker 1: all that stuff. So I was ready to go. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make these for the Mallard family. Everyone in the
Speaker 1: house is getting a smash burger. So I getting the
Speaker 1: kitchen there and it's it's really good news. It's it's
Speaker 1: the good, the bad, and the it is what it is,
Speaker 1: so the good the bad day. So the good news
Speaker 1: was the burgers came out chefs kiss. I mean it well,
Speaker 1: they were great as advertised restaurant grade. I mean, I
Speaker 1: am telling you. Everyone had a smile and it was
Speaker 1: it was wonderful, right yeah, I know, it's very very exciting. Uh.
Speaker 1: So that was the good news for a first journey
Speaker 1: making the smash burger delicious. Now for the bad news, Uh,
Speaker 1: the bad news is that everyone in the house came
Speaker 1: close to dying from smoke inhalation. Uh that was the
Speaker 1: bad news. It was so bad that even Smokey the
Speaker 1: Bear was coughing up along. That's how bad this was.
Speaker 1: Because the kitchen is not fully done. We have the
Speaker 1: stove top, but if you know that, I maybel kind
Speaker 1: of knows above the stove there's a fan the vent
Speaker 1: that's not in no ventom So that smoke from the
Speaker 1: smash burger went in the air everywhere. I mean, it
Speaker 1: was insane. Fortunately, we we don't have the smoke detectives
Speaker 1: up yet, so they didn't go off. We don't have sprinklers,
Speaker 1: so that didn't happen. So that's the good news. And
Speaker 1: um so that that was the bad And now the
Speaker 1: ugly wait for the young. This is the real kicker
Speaker 1: in the story, Danny. So you think that would be
Speaker 1: the worst part. I almost killed everyone in the house
Speaker 1: with smoke making burgers. That would be embarrassing. And uh no,
Speaker 1: the ugly. In my haste to make the perfect smash burger,
Speaker 1: the mother or smashed burger, I somehow managed and I'm
Speaker 1: really not sure how I did this, Danny, But in
Speaker 1: my haste to make the perfect smash burger, I somehow
Speaker 1: damaged the brand new kitchen appliance. Yeah yeah, that uh,
Speaker 1: that did not go over well, Danny. I burned, there's
Speaker 1: burn marks. I was like against smoky the bear burning
Speaker 1: stuff up, but I the brand new oven there, which my, my,
Speaker 1: this is our like prize possession. She this is the
Speaker 1: thing that she wanted, and I in the span of
Speaker 1: one hour cooking burgers that ended right there. Now, the
Speaker 1: good news is it's not for her. She spent hours
Speaker 1: cleaning the stovetop and some of it came off, some
Speaker 1: of the burn marks came off. And I even chipped in,
Speaker 1: and I because I felt terrible because I was like,
Speaker 1: I mean, the things I've done yet and I already
Speaker 1: ruined it. What a loser? Am I? You know? It's embarrassed. Um,
Speaker 1: So I said I I were together, and we've we've
Speaker 1: really done it. I'd say nine point eight percent of
Speaker 1: this has been cleaned up. So it's you really don't know.
Speaker 1: Unless I pointed out where the blemishes, you probably wouldn't know.
Speaker 1: So well, they say everything is better when it's Warren.
Speaker 1: Tell that to my wife, and she does not to
Speaker 1: believe that. She she was talking about having a funeral
Speaker 1: for the stove because I had killed it. Uh, and
Speaker 1: yet another clown clown situation there in the in the kitchen.
Speaker 1: Wait really quick, how many hours or days did she
Speaker 1: remind you of your flare up there in the kitchen? Well,
Speaker 1: she reminded me every day until we finally got most
Speaker 1: of it cleaned up, and then she's let it go
Speaker 1: a little bit. But I know, Danny, that has been weaponized.
Speaker 1: Next time I screw something up, it'll pop up. Whack
Speaker 1: a mole, be ready, smoke boy. Yeah, the one skill.
Speaker 1: And I think I I will stereotype because I believe
Speaker 1: it's true that that women, I would say more than dudes,
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I don't deal with a lot
Speaker 1: of dudes. As far as this stuff. Women are able
Speaker 1: to put a roll index uh in a relationship of
Speaker 1: every time the man has left up and at any moment.
Speaker 1: I don't even know how they keep this in the
Speaker 1: back of their head. They were able to go to
Speaker 1: said rollo decks with a laundry list of crimes and
Speaker 1: missed high crimes and misdemeanors that their their partner has done.
Speaker 1: It's an amazing skill. When do they learn that, Danny,
Speaker 1: wh anythink like a little girl as they learned that,
Speaker 1: or do you think that just comes in the DNA
Speaker 1: when you're one? You just get that when you're born.
Speaker 1: It's d N A. In fact, if you asked my
Speaker 1: Queen tinder Roni about a spilled smoothie, she could probably
Speaker 1: tell you the date that had happened because it involved
Speaker 1: a carpet and the smoothie was a red color because
Speaker 1: it had strawberries in it. I have still not heard
Speaker 1: the end of it. One spill in a year of
Speaker 1: knowing this person, Ben, And now whenever she hands me
Speaker 1: a drink, she's like, be careful where you set it down.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna live with this now for the rest of
Speaker 1: our lives. That is, uh, what did you say? Hey,
Speaker 1: you know, what are you doing over there? What's wrong
Speaker 1: with you? It's just it's one thing there. So now
Speaker 1: when you end up having the big day there, you
Speaker 1: should have that on the menu with the at the
Speaker 1: wedding as a nice way to remind everyone of the
Speaker 1: great moment there. So as far as the Jefferson's, uh,
Speaker 1: this is actually this you're involved in this too, Danny,
Speaker 1: And this is you're involved in this as well. Some
Speaker 1: very interesting news from the I Heart Media building. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to process this because this is I
Speaker 1: don't really I don't go in as often as I
Speaker 1: used to, hope that hardly at all these days. But
Speaker 1: the Premier Networks, home of many of your favorite syndicated
Speaker 1: radio shows under the umbrella of Fox Sports Radio and
Speaker 1: I Heart Media, big announced, but the entire operation is
Speaker 1: packing up the station wagon, renting a U haul trailer
Speaker 1: and leaving the only home that I've known for the
Speaker 1: Premier Networks since two thousand. Crazy, over twenty years of
Speaker 1: going to the same building at the corner of Ventura
Speaker 1: and so Pulvit. If you're familiar with southern californ and
Speaker 1: it's a that's prime real estate, Danny in the San
Speaker 1: Fernando Valley right there. There's a big mall across the street,
Speaker 1: and a lot of rich people live up in those
Speaker 1: hills and a lot of poor people live on the
Speaker 1: streets around there. But that's that's the neighborhood that's been
Speaker 1: the radio oasis. I've pretty much grown up as an
Speaker 1: adult there. That's wild to think that I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: be going to that building anymore. Uh As I said,
Speaker 1: I kind of grew up there as a radio dufis.
Speaker 1: So are they gonna move us producers into the parking garage? Yes? Yes.
Speaker 1: The good news is no, not the parking garage, the
Speaker 1: on ramp to the the four oh five or the
Speaker 1: one oh one over there you can. I think it's
Speaker 1: the one on one. Yeah, there's a nice place for
Speaker 1: a tent. The control board will be in front of
Speaker 1: the LPO Loco. Yeah. Yeah. Will the control board make
Speaker 1: it until until the move that's because they're not replacing it,
Speaker 1: but that has been the tabernacle of gas baggery. Moving
Speaker 1: to Burbank, Burt Bank Man, Yeah, a little further for you, right,
Speaker 1: a little further for you, Yeah, a little further. And
Speaker 1: and it stinks because I lived there for what thirteen years,
Speaker 1: and now that I don't live there anymore, of course
Speaker 1: we will be in the bank. Yeah. Well that's Murphy's law,
Speaker 1: is what that. I used to work in Burbank. I
Speaker 1: have great memories. I love that area right and in
Speaker 1: southern Californias, right near to Luca Lake right there, beautiful
Speaker 1: part of southern California. It's a really cool plus. I
Speaker 1: worked there in the nineties. When I got moved to
Speaker 1: l a radio. Uh And we worked right across from
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers. And it was awesome right there at a
Speaker 1: wonderful wonderful memories. And but FSR is like the Jeffersons
Speaker 1: man we are. It's like an old school sitcom. Man.
Speaker 1: We are moving on up to the east side to
Speaker 1: a d luxe de luxe apartment in the sky, all
Speaker 1: brand new and used equipment. Yeah, we're finally getting a
Speaker 1: piece of the pie. Well we're not. We're gonna be
Speaker 1: all refurbished care Well, they claim it's gonna be all
Speaker 1: new equipment. Now. My theory on that is the reason
Speaker 1: the company is doing that is because you can no
Speaker 1: longer find replacement parts for the equipment that we have.
Speaker 1: It's it's been dated out. So maybe I'm making that up.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I I am looking forward to
Speaker 1: it changes it's good and bad. I'm gonna miss the building,
Speaker 1: even though the building is falling apart. I'm gonna miss
Speaker 1: the building that we're in right now, and I'm looking forward.
Speaker 1: I will actually go in and christen the studio. I've
Speaker 1: actually worked out of there a few times. I don't
Speaker 1: know where the Fox Sports Radio studio is gonna be
Speaker 1: because that's where the local l a cluster for I
Speaker 1: heart is with stations like a M five seventy, the
Speaker 1: Dodger station kf I, one of the top news stations
Speaker 1: news talk stations in the country. And they're there, and
Speaker 1: big music stations are there as well. And do you
Speaker 1: know where the big nationally syndicated air personalities are gonna
Speaker 1: move to? Like our friend from the UFO show, Oh,
Speaker 1: Coast to Coast. Yeah, well they'll he'll be working out
Speaker 1: of that building. Wow. So everyone's just everyone. They're shutting
Speaker 1: down the place we're at, the whole play, the whole operation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be by I think August of next year,
Speaker 1: which is gonna be here before you know it, the
Speaker 1: way time flies and you're gonna wake up one morning
Speaker 1: be like, what the heck is going on in here?
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, I mean I spent so many nights
Speaker 1: adults in Burbank. It's no longer around. It's been gone
Speaker 1: for years, but that was my jam, that was my
Speaker 1: spot and Dimples that big Boy Bob's still Bob's Boys
Speaker 1: still there, still there? Does Jay Leno still go there
Speaker 1: every weekend drives his old classic cars around there in
Speaker 1: the airport area. Yeah, yeah, because that's right. He has
Speaker 1: a hang Yeah, he has a hanger at Leno parks
Speaker 1: all his cars and he's got he didn't he save
Speaker 1: all this Tonight show money? Isn't that the story on
Speaker 1: Leno that he never used the Tonight show money and
Speaker 1: he just used the money from corporate gigs to pay
Speaker 1: his bills all those years. I guess so, yeah, I
Speaker 1: heard that. Like you, he's a miser with money and right,
Speaker 1: and the only thing he's ever really spent his money
Speaker 1: on his classic cars. That's it. That's it. He loves
Speaker 1: the classic cars, the hangar and the cars. That's his thing.
Speaker 1: And hookers. Does he still do the kind? Does he
Speaker 1: still do the comedy on the weekends? Is he still
Speaker 1: doing that? I've seen Yeah, I've seen his name up.
Speaker 1: Um at the boy What is that comedy store that
Speaker 1: the one left there? Um? It's funny you bring that
Speaker 1: up because I'm on their emails flap flappers, Yeah, not clappers,
Speaker 1: flappers flappers. So I'm on their email list because I
Speaker 1: went to see a show their years ago and they
Speaker 1: just never took me off the email because they keep
Speaker 1: thinking I'm gonna come back, and I never checked their emails.
Speaker 1: So I go on check check the email, and usually
Speaker 1: the comedians I've never heard him. I I don't know
Speaker 1: many comedians these days. I know the old comedians, but
Speaker 1: they're all dead now. And it says Kevin Hart is
Speaker 1: performing at Flappers in Burbank. I'm like, you gotta be
Speaker 1: kidding me. You remember Ben I went and saw him there. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: So so anyway, so I saw this. Oh, man, I better.
Speaker 1: I was gonna surprise my my wife, she loves comedies.
Speaker 1: You want to get out of the house and go.
Speaker 1: So I went and by the time I got the email,
Speaker 1: completely sold out, every show complete. This was pre COVID,
Speaker 1: and I got lucky because it's sold out so fast,
Speaker 1: Like what you're talking about that they added a second show.
Speaker 1: And I got a pair of tickets for the second show.
Speaker 1: Oh that's awesome. Yeah. They looked like they had already
Speaker 1: done multiple shows each day and it was all booked
Speaker 1: up and all that, which it's a bummer, but you know,
Speaker 1: it's good for everyone that got tickets. And I guess
Speaker 1: I gotta pay closer attention there. Yeah, if anybody knows
Speaker 1: by the anybody listeners podcast. We have very powerful people, Danny,
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm sure you'd like to go to
Speaker 1: write with your lovely, lovely woman there, and I would
Speaker 1: like to take my woman. So if anybody knows anybody
Speaker 1: over there, you know, contact us and maybe we can
Speaker 1: they could become a new sponsor. Yeah. By the way,
Speaker 1: I will pay for the tickets. I'm not asking for
Speaker 1: it now. If you want to give me free tickets,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say no to that, But if you want
Speaker 1: me to pay, I will. Yeah, unless they're a new sponsor,
Speaker 1: then they'll owe you tickets. That's true. That is true now.
Speaker 1: But I am willing to a reasonable amount, Danny. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna get crazy here, but a reasonable amount I would.
Speaker 1: I would very much like to go see Kevin Hart, so,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a fan of his. I didn't realize
Speaker 1: he was back, and I have them been to a
Speaker 1: comedy club and forever. I'm actually we we've had some comedians.
Speaker 1: We should get some comedians, and we should get Jay more.
Speaker 1: We used to work with Jay on at some point
Speaker 1: here and and schmooze with with j. The thing about
Speaker 1: comedians is they're really busy and a lot of them
Speaker 1: have addictions. Yes, it's hard to work around their busy schedule.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of stress to produce. And if you
Speaker 1: don't produce, you don't have comedy. And you better be funny.
Speaker 1: And if you're not funny, then you're done. And you're
Speaker 1: traveling a lot, and uh yeah, it's a bad combination
Speaker 1: of things, right, not not good. A lot of vices,
Speaker 1: a lot of vices. So now we mentioned we're moving
Speaker 1: to a new radio building and you actually have a
Speaker 1: you were at a big radio event, radio parte this
Speaker 1: past week. Right, you gotta film me in on that. Here,
Speaker 1: give me the inside skinny on this day. Yeah, so,
Speaker 1: my Heart occasionally will send us emails, and this is
Speaker 1: where you ben gotta check your company emails. Sometimes never
Speaker 1: check the company email. Then yeah you don't. We've covered that,
Speaker 1: and this is one of the areas where you probably
Speaker 1: should be on high alert and look out because we'll
Speaker 1: occasionally get like an Alicia Keys email which came into
Speaker 1: our inbox last week saying grow of Alicia Keys tickets available.
Speaker 1: Click on this link to good your name into the
Speaker 1: employee drawing whatever I Heart is up to in southern California,
Speaker 1: they will get some tickets and then they'll distribute them
Speaker 1: among the workers at Premier Networks where we so Coast
Speaker 1: FM Coast one oh three point five FM in l
Speaker 1: A every year except last year because of COVID. For
Speaker 1: a long time has done a Christmas Night inside California
Speaker 1: Adventure Park and at eight pm they kick the general
Speaker 1: public out of there and it is a private party
Speaker 1: for just I Heart and Coast Walls. Yeah. Last Wednesday
Speaker 1: I got to go take my tender roni and it
Speaker 1: was pretty cool. Um you know. Yeah, the weather was
Speaker 1: still nice because the rainstorm hadn't come in yet or
Speaker 1: the sprinkle storm whatever you wanna call it, and uh,
Speaker 1: the spit storm a little bit, but not that it
Speaker 1: all over me. We ran a on the park and
Speaker 1: it was really packed until eight pm. At eight pm.
Speaker 1: I don't know how they do it, Ben, but they
Speaker 1: got all the general public out of there. In fact,
Speaker 1: we were sitting down at one of the little food
Speaker 1: spots there and one of their Disney spies came up
Speaker 1: to us and was like, let me see those wristbands. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he was doing that to every table and every
Speaker 1: person he saw you had. My girl was like, well,
Speaker 1: what if we didn't have wristbands on. Was he gonna
Speaker 1: escort us out? Yeah? And I'm like, guy, I think so.
Speaker 1: I think so. They take Goofy and Donald Duck would
Speaker 1: actually kick your ass. They beat you up in the back.
Speaker 1: It's like the old mob in Vegas. If you if
Speaker 1: you want money, they take you back door and kick
Speaker 1: your ass. And that's great. That's the version of casino
Speaker 1: m ellen k don't play around Ben And in fact,
Speaker 1: they do a DJ parade where they have floats with
Speaker 1: the Disney characters and all of the coast DJs wave.
Speaker 1: They do that Princess wave. Okay, the hand goes back
Speaker 1: and forth. The only thing about theme parks I love.
Speaker 1: I love a good theme park. But I wanted to
Speaker 1: ask you because I had a Vietnam flashback when I
Speaker 1: was inside California Adventure Park because I got to go
Speaker 1: to a radio day that they had inside Magic Mountain.
Speaker 1: This was years ago. I'm on this Batman the ride
Speaker 1: and if you don't know anything about that ride, it
Speaker 1: locks you in from the top, but your feet are free,
Speaker 1: your legs are dangling, and your balls. Everything, the money maker,
Speaker 1: the whole thing, the tally whacker, the twig and berries,
Speaker 1: everything's out there is now. The problem is when this
Speaker 1: ride finished, it stopped short of the you know where
Speaker 1: it parks. Did you hear that noise? Did you hear that?
Speaker 1: Because that's a bad sign when you're on a roller coaster,
Speaker 1: and it's what I What I heard were fellow media
Speaker 1: members saying, what the funk is going on right now?
Speaker 1: Because Ben, that thing has you in tight you know,
Speaker 1: it clamps onto yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. It
Speaker 1: feels like a giant is pinching your chest. Wrong. That's
Speaker 1: that's terrible. This Ben was the closest brush with death
Speaker 1: in my early twenties. Thank god I wasn't the age
Speaker 1: I am now, because I would have had a heart
Speaker 1: attack if that happened right now. We were probably a
Speaker 1: hundred yards away from where we were supposed to be.
Speaker 1: The ride breaks down with all of us on it,
Speaker 1: and there's no end in sight. You don't know how
Speaker 1: long you're gonna just be sitting there. For sure, we
Speaker 1: were hanging for twenty minutes. In those twenty minutes, I
Speaker 1: did every trick. You know, they tell you the same thing,
Speaker 1: like when you're in the dentist chair and or you're
Speaker 1: having a bad run at the doctor where you're supposed
Speaker 1: to think about a tropical island. Uh, control your breathing
Speaker 1: and think of one of the best memories of your
Speaker 1: life for a vacation that you loved or something like that.
Speaker 1: Holy crap, band, I was channeling the Hawaiian Islands. I
Speaker 1: was trying to control my breathing because I mean, it
Speaker 1: would be really easy to pass out in a situation
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, yeah, that's horrible. That happens everymore, I remember,
Speaker 1: not very fun. Didn't that happen when people are liket
Speaker 1: up in the air and they were stuck there and
Speaker 1: they It's happened at Yeah, it's happened at a lot
Speaker 1: of the amusement pods, unfortunately, because you know, hey, it's mechanical,
Speaker 1: so sometimes it breaks down, and if you are one
Speaker 1: of the schmucks stuck in the ride when it breaks down,
Speaker 1: a lot of people can't handle being stuck for a
Speaker 1: long period of time like that. Yeah, that's terrible. I
Speaker 1: was gonna ask you if that ever happened to you,
Speaker 1: but I would imagine that you have a hard time
Speaker 1: fitting on most of the roller coasters. That is a
Speaker 1: low blow. How dare it didn't happen? It has happened,
Speaker 1: but occasionally I know I don't fit on Space Mountain anymore.
Speaker 1: Either the legs are too long or I'm too wide
Speaker 1: on a lot of the rides. So like Splash Mountain,
Speaker 1: I got no problem with the Disneyland, but nobody, nobody
Speaker 1: I'm with, every wants to go on it because you
Speaker 1: get soaking wet, so they I don't want to any
Speaker 1: part of that, you know, And I'm every time I
Speaker 1: look at Splash Mountain, I'm like, yeah, that's excited. Let's
Speaker 1: do that and it's fun. And nobody wants to do
Speaker 1: it because they're like, no, we're gonna get either night
Speaker 1: time and then when we get cold or it's during
Speaker 1: the day. But they don't want to do it because
Speaker 1: there's a long line. There's always something. It's always something.
Speaker 1: So well shouts out to my Heart and Coast for
Speaker 1: a great event. And uh, I did get to take
Speaker 1: the Tenderni on her favorite ride, which is Guardians of
Speaker 1: the Galaxy. The only thing better than going to Disneyland
Speaker 1: is going to Disneyland and not having to buy the tickets.
Speaker 1: That's the only only thing better than than Disneyland. So
Speaker 1: I also I have peek a boo, which just happened
Speaker 1: not that long ago before we were recording the podcast.
Speaker 1: So I I get done with the radio show and
Speaker 1: I rain I check my email for something else, and
Speaker 1: I stumble across this email and somebody that I knew
Speaker 1: that I've done some work with wanted me to follow
Speaker 1: them on LinkedIn. I never go on linked I have
Speaker 1: a LinkedIn pitch. I very rarely go on. But I
Speaker 1: was like, it was like, it takes two seconds. This
Speaker 1: guy wants me to follow them or whatever. I'm l
Speaker 1: I'm fine, Uh you know, I don't. I don't check again.
Speaker 1: Usually when you have a job, you don't check. If
Speaker 1: you need a job, you go on there. Your your networking,
Speaker 1: trying to get people to whatever help you out. So
Speaker 1: uh so I go on there and I click on,
Speaker 1: and then all these messages that I hadn't checked popped
Speaker 1: up like boom boom boom, like a ton of them.
Speaker 1: Much to my surprise, I get a message. One of
Speaker 1: the messages is from a publicist. I've never heard of
Speaker 1: this person. I don't know how this person found me.
Speaker 1: I guess they were searching through LinkedIn and my name
Speaker 1: came up, and this guy sends me a note Danny
Speaker 1: and he's got his elevator pitch right. And now I
Speaker 1: get these from time to time. I don't usually pay
Speaker 1: any attention to him because most of them are people
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk to, So of the time
Speaker 1: I just ignore these. But for some reason, this one
Speaker 1: caught my attention. It was a Peeka Boo moment. So
Speaker 1: I read this and this random guys like, hey, you
Speaker 1: know I represent so and so blah blah blah blah
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. I
Speaker 1: wanted to see if you had any interest in Alan Iverson, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, like talking to Iverson or whatever. So like crap,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's the answer. That's an NBA, big
Speaker 1: time NBA guy back in the day. Why not for
Speaker 1: a podcast to sure seventies sixers legend and all that.
Speaker 1: So practice not a game. We talked about practice that
Speaker 1: and he's just like Jay Leno, he saved all his
Speaker 1: money unless he didn't. Uh yeah. So so Iverson was like,
Speaker 1: all right, yeah, so of course I see this. My
Speaker 1: I I get bug eyed. I'm like, oh boy, this
Speaker 1: is big. You know, it's a big deal. So I
Speaker 1: immediately right back said yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes yes. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: spoiler alert spoiler alert, turns out Danny that that email
Speaker 1: a message on LinkedIn, was sent a month ago. I
Speaker 1: hate that. Yeah, so I I wrote back. I said, listen,
Speaker 1: I missed this bad job by me. He was also
Speaker 1: Irison was promoting some n f T non fungible token. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you're dead to them now because you didn't reply
Speaker 1: right away. Well, I'm also I've also taken cheap shots
Speaker 1: at non fungible tokens. But I will I will swallow
Speaker 1: my pride if Iverson pops up on the podcast, So
Speaker 1: I wrote back, And you know, I'll see what if
Speaker 1: they get back to me or not. I don't expect
Speaker 1: to get Alan Iverson on the podcast. But yeah, So
Speaker 1: my new strategy. I get a lot of these emails, hey,
Speaker 1: will you promote so and so? And my response is, yeah,
Speaker 1: I do this. If so and so will come on,
Speaker 1: I would be very happy to promote. I will wore
Speaker 1: myself out for your product to get podcast numbers. And
Speaker 1: so that's my that's my new thing. And so we'll
Speaker 1: see and usually I get well, we'll see if so
Speaker 1: and so is doing interviews. That's normally how that goes.
Speaker 1: That's normally how that goes. So there is that. We
Speaker 1: do have a little time. I want to do a
Speaker 1: couple of let's get scientifical. This is Danny. We we
Speaker 1: used to do this on the podcast back in the day.
Speaker 1: And I will look at a study and we will
Speaker 1: determine in honor of one of my favorite TV shows,
Speaker 1: Penn and Teller's Bullshit on Showtime years ago, we will
Speaker 1: I will give the basic tenants of the study, and
Speaker 1: we will decide whether we think that's that's a good
Speaker 1: idea or bullshit. Uh, we agree with that or not.
Speaker 1: There's a headline here that golf is more effective therapy
Speaker 1: for people with Parkinson's disease. Then tai Chi that golf
Speaker 1: is the way to go. They claim, and do we
Speaker 1: think this, there's something too this or this is bullshit?
Speaker 1: I don't know a lot you think bullshit? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: played golf and I would think that would be very
Speaker 1: frustrating for someone with Parkinson's. But they claimed golf is
Speaker 1: popular for most It's the most popular sport for people
Speaker 1: over the age of fifty five, which is because when
Speaker 1: you retire, the cliche is you go golf, right, that's yeah.
Speaker 1: I think this study was led by a doctor who
Speaker 1: has Parkinson's who is on a golf course right now,
Speaker 1: and it lives on a golf course. So the study said,
Speaker 1: we decided to compare golf to tai chi in our
Speaker 1: study because tai chi is the gold standard for balance
Speaker 1: and preventing falls and people with parkins Parkinsons. And they
Speaker 1: discovered that people who practiced their golf swing at a
Speaker 1: driving range, we're quicker and more mobile. At the end
Speaker 1: of the study, interesting says eight six of golfers said
Speaker 1: they were more likely to continue with the activity compared
Speaker 1: to thirty of people that practice tai chi. So this
Speaker 1: comes out of Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Uh So,
Speaker 1: according to what I've got here in front of me,
Speaker 1: there you go. I'm a little skeptical of that one.
Speaker 1: But it ain't it ain't mine, it ain't my my study.
Speaker 1: Uh here's one related to these face masks that so
Speaker 1: many people are still wearing these days. And you go
Speaker 1: out and it says face mask not only uncomfortable for
Speaker 1: many people, but also some also argue they interfere with
Speaker 1: our ability to communicate. Well, us, I think that's fair.
Speaker 1: A lot of people communicate you see the signs of
Speaker 1: your mouth and your nose and your I think that's
Speaker 1: a fair point. Uh. And an international team says they
Speaker 1: wait that that when witnesses wear face masks, it makes
Speaker 1: it easier for people watching the testimony to pick out
Speaker 1: the lies and their statements because as they can tell
Speaker 1: in the eyes. Uh. It says a professor from the
Speaker 1: University of Portsmith. This comes out of New York and
Speaker 1: they say that during the pandemic here they've it's been
Speaker 1: impacting juries lie detecting skills. That these changes people include
Speaker 1: wearing face masks blah blah blah blah blah. And it
Speaker 1: said despite conventional wisdom, it says here would would lead
Speaker 1: many to think face masks block out the facial expressions
Speaker 1: that giveaway lies. This study claims that's the exact opposite,
Speaker 1: that it's not that that way that you know, in
Speaker 1: some ways is actually easier. Jurors are able to clearly
Speaker 1: hear the defendant and their speech is not muffled by
Speaker 1: the mask. There is no reason for concern. They says,
Speaker 1: I guess they fake closer attention when yeah, I buy that,
Speaker 1: because we pay attention now two people's facial expressions even
Speaker 1: though there's a mask, because we have to. You know,
Speaker 1: before we kind of took it for granted that we
Speaker 1: didn't have any obstruction there. How often did you really
Speaker 1: pay attention to somebody's facial expressions? I don't. I Still
Speaker 1: I go to the store and everyone's wearing a mask.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm going a Twilight Zone episode. Still,
Speaker 1: I look around and why is everyone doing this? But
Speaker 1: the one dumb thing is how we smile at each
Speaker 1: other with a mask on. Oh no, that's the one
Speaker 1: good thing. I don't have to smile. I don't even
Speaker 1: have to pretend like I like the other people like,
Speaker 1: or not smile at all. And there's and you don't
Speaker 1: know whether I'm smiling or not because I'm wearing a mask.
Speaker 1: The creepiest thing are those clear masks. At the school district.
Speaker 1: There's a lady who wears a clear mask and it
Speaker 1: it makes objects appear larger than they really are. So
Speaker 1: she's got these big teeth underneath clear mask. It's creepy.
Speaker 1: It's like a freak show. Yeah, I'm like, I would
Speaker 1: rather you wear the black medical mask. Please last signed science,
Speaker 1: Let's get scientifical story here. Fountain of Youth pill big
Speaker 1: headline here shows the ability to dramatically increase longevity in mice.
Speaker 1: As exciting as we get to think we could take
Speaker 1: a pill. The anti aging treatments researchers say a pill
Speaker 1: have come up with the fight aging and improve longevity
Speaker 1: could be on the horizon. Scientists found the treatment dramatically
Speaker 1: extended the lifespan of mice. And this comes out of Shanghai, China,
Speaker 1: and they said that injecting elderly rodents with a grape
Speaker 1: seed extract increase the remaining time by more than six
Speaker 1: It also boosted overall lifespan by nine That is the
Speaker 1: equivalent they claim in human beings of living an extra
Speaker 1: decade for ten years. I'm liking this one, man. I
Speaker 1: think this is real. And it's not just because I
Speaker 1: would love to be podcasting when I'm a hundred and
Speaker 1: five years old. Who knows what podcasts will be like then.
Speaker 1: But you could just be on your mic and be like,
Speaker 1: I'm a hundred and five bitches. Yeah. Once Facebook gets done,
Speaker 1: what are they coming up with their They're changing it.
Speaker 1: It's not longer going to be Facebook. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: some weird dimensional thing. I forget the name of it.
Speaker 1: But at that particular point, we won't even have to
Speaker 1: go anywhere. Just in our sleep, we don't have to
Speaker 1: wake up, and then all of a sudden we can
Speaker 1: start start doing the podcast right now. Yeah, I'm doing
Speaker 1: the podcast. That's what I'm doing. So anyway, we will
Speaker 1: get out of here. Danny, good job today. Anything to
Speaker 1: promote anything you want, any gigs coming up, any comedy gigs,
Speaker 1: anything at all, and no, no, nothing like that. But
Speaker 1: you know, um that last story you were talking about,
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that I will add that grape
Speaker 1: seed extract into my m drive MILKSHAKEE yes, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: very important, very important. Support the sponsors, you know, Ben,
Speaker 1: I've been listening back to the podcast to make sure
Speaker 1: everything smooth with all of the platforming and everything we
Speaker 1: do with the podcast. When you hear the sponsors that
Speaker 1: are supporting Ben Mallard, support them back, that's right. You know,
Speaker 1: you scratch my back. I scratched your back up. Let's
Speaker 1: get it free content and we want more advertisers, and
Speaker 1: then everything everyone's happy and everyone celebrates and have a
Speaker 1: wonderful thing, and then I could even afford a ten
Speaker 1: dollar locker at Disneyland. Well, don't get carried away here,
Speaker 1: don't don't get carried away out there. Anyway, have a
Speaker 1: great rest of your Saturday. We'll be back back back,
