Speaker 1: Kutbooms.
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 3: In the air everyway, The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Speaker 3: Mahler and Danny G Radio and a.
Speaker 1: Very happy Sunday to you.
Speaker 4: It is now how do we look at the fifth
Speaker 4: day of October and it's an NFL Sunday, which is
Speaker 4: great because my weekend's already screwed thanks to the Rams
Speaker 4: back on Thursday, a tremendous gag by the La Ram.
Speaker 4: Very impressive to lose a game twice against a ragtag
Speaker 4: team of flots of office. But Danny G's with me
Speaker 4: as Alway's on the mail bag. Yeah, your Raiders play today,
Speaker 4: so no, you'll get to see them against the Colts
Speaker 4: and see how that goes.
Speaker 5: And dude, which play call was worse? You make the call?
Speaker 5: The Raiders on that third and two when they needed
Speaker 5: to get into field goal range to ice that game
Speaker 5: against Chicago, or your Rams pathetically with that fourth down
Speaker 5: play call.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's I understand the psychology by the because of
Speaker 4: why McVeigh did it, Like I get why he did it,
Speaker 4: because he just assumed that they the forty nine ers,
Speaker 4: were not very good and the Rams could push the Niners,
Speaker 4: and he was trying to He's trying to give confidence
Speaker 4: to Kyrin Williams. It's but the fact that I'm more
Speaker 4: upset about his fumble in regulation with a little over
Speaker 4: a minute to go.
Speaker 1: When the Rams just win, your score a touchdown, you
Speaker 1: win the game. That's it. There's not gonna be enough
Speaker 1: time for the Niners to come back.
Speaker 5: And you're not a therapist, you're a head coach trying
Speaker 5: to give confidence. Bro.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I listen, I totally get it.
Speaker 4: I mean the Rams, they they made made mac Jones
Speaker 4: look like he was back in Tuscaloosa and playing Auburn
Speaker 4: the way he lit up in the first half.
Speaker 3: He didn't.
Speaker 4: Mac Jones did not play as well in the second half,
Speaker 4: but he was so good in the first half that
Speaker 4: that's really all the Niners needed. They were still able
Speaker 4: to win win that game. So anyway, listen to some
Speaker 4: good games today. We got everything on Benny Versus the Penny.
Speaker 4: If you have not watched Bennyvspenny, it's YouTube dot com
Speaker 4: slash at Bennyevspenny. All my handicapping, all the picks, everything that,
Speaker 4: as we say on the show, Danny, everything that should happen,
Speaker 4: not what's going to happen based on what should happen.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, there's these things called.
Speaker 4: Human beings that get involved and have to f everything up,
Speaker 4: like the Rams not really showing up.
Speaker 1: How do you handicap that the.
Speaker 4: Rams aren't going to show up for a game this
Speaker 4: week five of the NFL season. But I'm looking forward
Speaker 4: to seeing the Broncos and the Eagles today. I'll be
Speaker 4: at the Charger game. Chargers and the Washington Former Redskins.
Speaker 1: I'll be at that game today.
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to that, and then I'll be watching
Speaker 4: obviously everything else on my laptop, flipping around. Got the
Speaker 4: Sunday night game the Patriots and the Bills be checking
Speaker 4: that one out as well.
Speaker 1: So watch a little bit of this, a little bit
Speaker 1: of that.
Speaker 4: See what's going on today around the NFL. But we
Speaker 4: have and we also have baseball as well. It's not
Speaker 4: just it's not just the the football. There's a lot
Speaker 4: of one huh, gotta gotta juggle this, that and the
Speaker 4: other thing. But for now, Danny, we have mail mail
Speaker 4: mail mail.
Speaker 1: Are you ready? Is Ohio already?
Speaker 5: It's mail bag.
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 4: These are actual letters by actual listeners. If you'd like
Speaker 4: to send a letter in for a future mail bag,
Speaker 4: you can do that care of Reeal fifth hour at
Speaker 4: gmail dot com. That's real fifth hour at gmail dot com.
Speaker 4: Reeal fifth Hour at gmail dot com if you'd like
Speaker 4: to send a message in. And first up, we have
Speaker 4: Ferg Dog from that winter wonderland of Fullerton, he says,
Speaker 4: top of the morning, gentlemen, are you ready to throw
Speaker 4: out all of your Geno Smith merch yet? Danny g
Speaker 4: Ferg Dog says, If not, what are you waiting for?
Speaker 4: Do you hope the Raiders tank the season so they
Speaker 4: can draft the greatest quarterback prospect in one hundred years?
Speaker 1: Arch Manning says, Ferg Dog.
Speaker 5: But here's a stat for you. Raiders O line Week four. Obviously,
Speaker 5: the O line had some injuries and was pieced together,
Speaker 5: but they came together last week against Chicago. Zero sacks,
Speaker 5: no hits allowed on Geno Smith, no penalties on the line,
Speaker 5: only one hurry, one pressure, but Gino three interceptions.
Speaker 1: Who could have possibly seen this coming? Who could have possibly.
Speaker 4: Seen that Gino Smith, who has been a smoking mirrors quarterback,
Speaker 4: would play the way he's played this year?
Speaker 1: Hey, he's turn machine.
Speaker 5: But you saw who he can be in Week one.
Speaker 5: He can be an average or just above average quarterback.
Speaker 5: He has it in him. It's just sometimes he reverts
Speaker 5: back to his days with the good old Jets.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, Gino through four games is the twenty ninth ranked
Speaker 4: quarterback in the NFL. He's essentially got the same numbers
Speaker 4: as Russell Wilson, who was benched. He's slightly better than
Speaker 4: Bryce Young who's horrific. And Jake Browning and Cam Ward
Speaker 4: and Joe Flacco. Those are those are the neighbors that
Speaker 4: Gino Smith has at this point. But again, I do
Speaker 4: believe the Raiders, Like this is a game the Raiders
Speaker 4: can win. The Colts aren't that good. I saw the
Speaker 4: Colts in person last was it last week?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 5: Everything runs to get Yeah, we were both there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah you saw him.
Speaker 4: I mean they have their defense was toasted by the Rams.
Speaker 4: Their offense actually did pretty well. But I don't think
Speaker 4: the Colts are in an unbeatable team. And we did
Speaker 4: not connect, by the way, because you actually had a
Speaker 4: bougie see Danny like, I'm not allowed to go down
Speaker 4: in that area. I can't get, I could not get.
Speaker 4: I was in the press box, you were down near
Speaker 4: the field, and I guess we could have maybe met halfway,
Speaker 4: but I thought you were going to be a little
Speaker 4: higher up.
Speaker 5: I was sitting with the Nikua family.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you had great, great seats and you got to
Speaker 4: do some scouting on the cult. Did you let did
Speaker 4: you let Pete Carroll know what you saw? Did you
Speaker 4: you let him know what your any tendency?
Speaker 5: I think you know something about Pete Carroll. He doesn't
Speaker 5: listen to anybody.
Speaker 1: Piece in his own world.
Speaker 5: Damn it.
Speaker 1: We thank you for Dock.
Speaker 4: So I guess the answer to the question is you
Speaker 4: haven't purchased any Geno Smith merch so therefore you don't
Speaker 4: need to throw anything away.
Speaker 5: No, And the only thing I bought before the season
Speaker 5: began an Ashton genty T shirt. Okay, which Ashton genty
Speaker 5: is great? Even the Rams fans were going wild when
Speaker 5: they showed that sixty four yard touchdown on the big screen.
Speaker 5: Even the Rams fans were ooing and awing at that
Speaker 5: high stepping he did to get out of that Chicago grasp. Alright,
Speaker 5: he bore it up last week. Yeah good.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was off the little shaky start first couple
Speaker 4: of games, but he found his footing against the Bears.
Speaker 5: The Bears. Yeah, he's back to that Michael Myers stance
Speaker 5: where he's standing up.
Speaker 4: Yes, Reggie from Detroit, right, since says, hey, Ben and
Speaker 4: Danny g I'm ready to go third rail if you
Speaker 4: guys are, He says, I want to get your guys
Speaker 4: on Live Golf and how their finances are working.
Speaker 1: He sent me a story here.
Speaker 4: Danny says Live Golf International Operations lost four hundred and
Speaker 4: sixty one million dollars last year. According to financial filings.
Speaker 4: The United Kingdom based arm not the US. The United
Speaker 4: Kingdom generated just sixty four million dollars in revenue against
Speaker 4: five hundred and twenty six million dollars in expenses from
Speaker 4: its seven non US events. According to story Reggie sent
Speaker 4: he also wanted to get our thoughts on Dave Chappelle.
Speaker 4: Ripping free speech in America while doing comedy in Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 5: I went a side note to that live golf story. Okay,
Speaker 5: I'm reading here that they still owe Kawhi Leonard twenty
Speaker 5: two million dollars.
Speaker 1: Well, I hope Kawhi gets his money. I hope he
Speaker 1: gets all of that.
Speaker 5: Could be another one all tied together.
Speaker 4: That podcast guy that no, I don't forget his name,
Speaker 4: that guy could do another podcast and all that. But
Speaker 4: and then Reggie says, when is that Saudi oil money
Speaker 4: going to reach Overnight radio. I'm pretty sure, Reggie, they're
Speaker 4: they're not interested in me. But yeah, they got a
Speaker 4: lot of money to burn.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 1: They have that.
Speaker 4: We've told the story about the Mexican drug lords. They
Speaker 4: had so much money they didn't know what to do
Speaker 4: with it because they couldn't put it in the bank.
Speaker 1: So the legend, I don't know.
Speaker 4: If this is true or not, the legend is they
Speaker 4: some of these guys had so much money in the
Speaker 4: Mexican drug cartels they would just bury it in the backyard.
Speaker 1: They didn't know what to do with it.
Speaker 4: They just like dug holes and buried the money and
Speaker 4: and just kept it.
Speaker 5: That's like when Tony Soprano used to put all his
Speaker 5: cash stacks of cash with his bird feed in the
Speaker 5: garbage cans out by his pool, it ran out of space.
Speaker 4: It's insane. So yeah, there were stories about them. I
Speaker 4: guess sports washing. You know, they've got this Saudi fun
Speaker 4: that's got all the oil money in it. And I
Speaker 4: don't know how all that works. I've just read some
Speaker 4: stuff online. But as I understand it, that's nothing like
Speaker 4: they had, Like that's they're not even worried about that.
Speaker 4: Can you imagine losing four hundred and sixty one million
Speaker 4: dollars and you don't even bat an eye like that's why.
Speaker 4: And I'd love to know how much Chappelle got for
Speaker 4: doing And he wasn't alone. There were a bunch of
Speaker 4: famous comedians that took the money. Kevin Hard I think
Speaker 4: was part of that also. And do you think they
Speaker 4: paid extra to like put all extra top like ripping
Speaker 4: the us on there that Chappelle got a little.
Speaker 5: Bony for that, or like the sheets paid them extra
Speaker 5: if they would rub their feet after their performance.
Speaker 1: I mean, geez, I mean a little much.
Speaker 4: You know, it's a little a little tough, but you know,
Speaker 4: as I learned the book The Magic Christian. You know,
Speaker 4: everyone's got their price, right, Everyone's got their price, And
Speaker 4: people say, I'm not going to do this. I believe
Speaker 4: in this. Well, how much money is there? Okay, I
Speaker 4: can change my position. BLA all right, Uh, listener D,
Speaker 4: I'm not sure what that's for. I'm sure it's not named.
Speaker 4: But listener D writes in from Georgia, Georgia. He says, Hey,
Speaker 4: Ben and Danny, I wondered if this story would make
Speaker 4: Animal Thunderdome enjoy the podcast. D listen as often as
Speaker 4: I can.
Speaker 1: Thank you, D. He just I like it. He's got
Speaker 1: He just said Georgia.
Speaker 4: I'm assuming Atlanta because I think when I think of Georgia,
Speaker 4: I just think of Atlanta. But he sent this story
Speaker 4: to any I'm assuming you guys probably saw this a
Speaker 4: It's a story that an alligator was spotted outside a
Speaker 4: McDonald's in I believe Macon, Georgia here and the video
Speaker 4: has gone viral. It was a twelve foot gator was
Speaker 4: found outside of McDonald's on Rocky Creek Road in Macon,
Speaker 4: Georgia this past weekend, and apparently what had happened here
Speaker 4: is the reason it went viral is because a crowd
Speaker 4: of people worked together to wrangle the gator. They decided
Speaker 4: they took the animal world and do you imagine deciding,
Speaker 4: you know what we need to do, We need to
Speaker 4: wrangle the gator and with the video went on like
Speaker 4: Facebook live and pretty wild. They worked together to help
Speaker 4: wrangle the gator. And because yeah, what did they put
Speaker 4: over his head?
Speaker 5: A T shirt?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it looks like I'm looking at the thing. It
Speaker 4: looks like a black is that the key a black shirt?
Speaker 4: Or somebody just covered the eyes of the gate.
Speaker 5: It looks like someone just took their T shirt off
Speaker 5: put it over the alley gator's head.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm looking at the news story
Speaker 4: here says the bib County Sheriff's office said it was
Speaker 4: called about four to ford in the afternoon. Responded they
Speaker 4: were authorities were assisted by a gator trapper who was
Speaker 4: able to remove the animal from the area. The community
Speaker 4: came together. It was outside like an hour and a half.
Speaker 4: But then they complained. They said, well, we discouraged such actions.
Speaker 4: The residents should not be doing this putting themselves at risk.
Speaker 4: Of course they say that for liability, Yeah, they have
Speaker 4: to say that I was a jacket.
Speaker 5: This guy says, I threw my jacket over its head.
Speaker 4: What would it take for you, Danny, to wrestle twelve
Speaker 4: foot alligator?
Speaker 5: What would that take? No, I don't know. I would
Speaker 5: do it for free, just to prove how manly I am.
Speaker 4: That's right, balls. The size of candalopes absolutely all right.
Speaker 4: Dave from Florida rights in another guy with just representing
Speaker 4: the state.
Speaker 1: A big state, lots of cities. But who knows?
Speaker 5: All right? You do you?
Speaker 4: Dave says, Hey, guys, do you believe the story going
Speaker 4: around about Burger King. I am one of the few
Speaker 4: people that still eat at Burger King, and I don't
Speaker 4: believe it, says Dave. So the story here, Danny g
Speaker 4: is that Burger King executives at a recent franchise convention,
Speaker 4: they were talking about the marketing of Burger King and
Speaker 4: the mascot, the Creepy King mascot was brought up.
Speaker 1: That had been a staple of Burger King for a.
Speaker 4: Long time, the marketing, and it stopped about ten years ago,
Speaker 4: maybe longer than that. It was retired. It's made a
Speaker 4: few appearances, but not very many. So anyway, Dave points
Speaker 4: out that the story is the reason Burger King got
Speaker 4: rid of the Creepy King mascot is because their market researched.
Speaker 1: Hermaned that kids were.
Speaker 4: So freaked out by the creepy Burger King mascot that
Speaker 4: they didn't want to eat at Burger King. Instead would
Speaker 4: go to McDonald's because they didn't they felt scared of
Speaker 4: the mask. That's according to that's according to what Burger
Speaker 4: King told their franchise people.
Speaker 5: So that is a creepy mascot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it looks like what's the guy's name?
Speaker 4: Is a famous Philadelphia sports talk shows, So I.
Speaker 1: Think it's not.
Speaker 4: I think he got whacked. What's the guy's name? I
Speaker 4: forget Howard Eskin. I don't know if you don't even
Speaker 4: know who that is. But Howard Eskin was like a
Speaker 4: legendary Philadelphia sports talk radio host. He was like the
Speaker 4: Mike Francessa of Philadelphia. Or in LA we had had
Speaker 4: Joe McDonald who was the legend or San Diego Hacksaw
Speaker 4: and just read on red the whole thing, and yeah,
Speaker 4: burg Scott Man was.
Speaker 1: It was so scary.
Speaker 4: Remember in those years, Nanny, around twenty nine twenty ten,
Speaker 4: people were dressing up for Halloween as the creepy King
Speaker 4: like they were.
Speaker 5: I was just gonna say, you know who could pull
Speaker 5: that off as a Halloween costume? Who's that? The Niners
Speaker 5: backup quarterback Mac Jones. Did you see him after the game?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, that was in the two face batman suit.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's a little much.
Speaker 5: Hollywould need, is the King's head?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: All right, Barry from South Carolina right said, and he says, yo, yo, ma, Benny,
Speaker 4: I think we need some clarification on Van the one
Speaker 4: legged Bama Man. I am saying the gator did not
Speaker 4: take his leg off and eat it, but he got
Speaker 4: bit by the gator. And the gator has so much
Speaker 4: bacteria in their mouth that the leg got amputated.
Speaker 1: Can we get the four to one one on this
Speaker 1: from Van?
Speaker 4: The next time he calls Barry, that is actually accurate
Speaker 4: the story you're telling you.
Speaker 1: And he has told that story.
Speaker 4: And and so Van did have his leg bitten by
Speaker 4: the gator, and a good chunk of the gator took
Speaker 4: a big chunk of the leg and the ligaments, but
Speaker 4: technically the leg, the limb.
Speaker 1: Was still hanging on to Van, the one leged Bama Man.
Speaker 4: But by the time they got to the hospital and
Speaker 4: everything they did have to they had to cut off
Speaker 4: the leg.
Speaker 1: They could not reattach the leg.
Speaker 4: And so, yeah, we are we embellishing the story a
Speaker 4: little bit to make it a better story.
Speaker 1: Are we sugarcoating it?
Speaker 4: Yeah, a little bit, a little bit, Berry, But the
Speaker 4: leg was cut off because of the gator.
Speaker 1: It just was cut off at a hospital.
Speaker 4: And it's it's fair to say that that gator did
Speaker 4: get some of the DNA, some of the skins, some
Speaker 4: of the ligaments in its belly, that it.
Speaker 1: Wasn't a you know, he didn't rip the whole leg
Speaker 1: off and all that.
Speaker 4: And you know the way it goes, Berry, it's a
Speaker 4: fish story, right, it's a shaggy dog story.
Speaker 1: And so you add on to a little bit, you
Speaker 1: add on to the story. And so yeah, that's.
Speaker 4: Van the one legged Bama Man, which is still a
Speaker 4: wild So it's one of the great stories. And I
Speaker 4: don't think it's exaggeration to say that you have your
Speaker 4: leg bitten so bad they have to amputate it because
Speaker 4: the gator took ligaments and all that off in the bacteria.
Speaker 1: And then you kill the gator and then eat the.
Speaker 4: Gator like that's that's a doozy, Like that's a hum
Speaker 4: dinger of a story. So yeah, that's that's the deal.
Speaker 4: Next up is your friend Scott from Florida, says Ben,
Speaker 4: and Danny g I was reading in the Athletic today
Speaker 4: that Aj Preler likes ketchup on his steak. Now, Danny,
Speaker 4: this question is for you, because Ben cannot answer it
Speaker 4: from a neutral vantage point. What is the bigger culinary sin, Danny,
Speaker 4: ketchup on a steak or butterflying a steak and cooking
Speaker 4: it well done? The ketchup is the ketchup isn't as bad, right,
Speaker 4: because you can always scrape it off, But a well
Speaker 4: done butterfly steak is just unforgivable, right, says Scott.
Speaker 5: Well, I almost think you would pitch the chef off
Speaker 5: more if you put ketchup on his creation. Because even
Speaker 5: my better half gets upset when she makes a masterful
Speaker 5: plate of eggs in avocado toast, and she'll put it
Speaker 5: on the table and she's very proud of the breakfast.
Speaker 5: And then what do I take out of the refrigerator
Speaker 5: bottle of ketchup and put it on the eggs and
Speaker 5: she looks at me sideways. She gets so pissed when
Speaker 5: I put ketchup on her eggs.
Speaker 1: Leave me alone? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I would argue for Scott that the way
Speaker 4: he phrased that Danny was, in legal terms, leading the witness. Right,
Speaker 4: you're not allowed to lead the witness like the way
Speaker 4: he and you didn't answer the way he wanted you
Speaker 4: to answer. But when he said, but a well done
Speaker 4: butterfly sneak is just unforgivable, right.
Speaker 5: That is, yeah, least saying you could scrape ketchup off
Speaker 5: a steak. But why would you do that if you
Speaker 5: want to ketch up on the steak?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: And can we just say, I mean, it's not going
Speaker 5: to come automatically with ketchup on it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's just say right now that Can we all
Speaker 4: agree that the chef, the cliche of the chef that
Speaker 4: gets offended by the way the customer wants the food cooked,
Speaker 4: can go to hell?
Speaker 1: Can we all agree on that?
Speaker 5: I mean, what do you well, you don't completely get
Speaker 5: off the hook here, ben, because that kind of meat
Speaker 5: was not meant to be black, all right, It's supposed
Speaker 5: to be just the perfect amount of tender inside. When
Speaker 5: you cut it in half. I don't like to see red.
Speaker 5: I don't want to see any blood. But I don't
Speaker 5: want it burned either. Just a nice little char on
Speaker 5: it and no pink left and it's perfect. Well you you.
Speaker 1: Do you, and I'll do me.
Speaker 4: And cooking, as the Great Anthony Bourdain said, as a craft,
Speaker 4: a good cook, as a craftsman, not an artist.
Speaker 5: And a craft also burn your toast.
Speaker 1: I don't eat toast.
Speaker 5: I don't.
Speaker 1: I like my eggs well done. I like my food
Speaker 1: well done. I like it cooked.
Speaker 4: I like to know that everything's dead and not coming
Speaker 4: to you know, coming back to life, and my stomach
Speaker 4: and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: And I I if it's.
Speaker 5: The only thing wrought you eat a seaweed?
Speaker 1: Yeah right, exactly, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: Ryan seawrights in and he says, well today's Oh yes,
Speaker 4: is Ryan from the great state of Massachusetts.
Speaker 1: He says, today is today. Boys. By the time you're
Speaker 1: reading this.
Speaker 4: I am getting married two pm Eastern, as I will
Speaker 4: hear this episode for a couple of days. Is there
Speaker 4: anything in the works for you to come to Worcester?
Speaker 4: Since I've been listening to The Overnight since twenty twenty,
Speaker 4: listening to the podcast since twenty twenty as well. I
Speaker 4: would love to meet you and the crew someday. Any
Speaker 4: news on that front about coming to Worcester. Thanks again, boys,
Speaker 4: talk soon.
Speaker 1: Well, Ryan.
Speaker 4: Now, we were talking to our friend the Leprechaun and
Speaker 4: our buddy in New Hampshire and we were like talking
Speaker 4: about some dates in October or did not work out.
Speaker 4: We're obviously in October now, so the plan and I
Speaker 4: don't know if this is still okay with Mike the
Speaker 4: Leprechaun and our buddy in New Hampshire, but the plan
Speaker 4: would be to go next summer, the summer of.
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4: And one of the reasons is this is kind of
Speaker 4: a tribute to Masshole Mickey who passed away, who I
Speaker 4: had a chance to meet, Who's Who's from Wooster and
Speaker 4: Masshole Mickey had been like, hey, we want you to
Speaker 4: come throw out the first pitch at a WU Sox game,
Speaker 4: and so some other listeners have offered that. So I
Speaker 4: think we'll try to make that happen sometime in the summer.
Speaker 4: But you know, I have not heard from the Leprechaun
Speaker 4: and whatnot, so we'll see if they're still interested. Maybe
Speaker 4: they won't be interested, but as of now, that is
Speaker 4: the plan. Unfortunately did not work out for some things
Speaker 4: I'm not allowed to talk about on a microphone. There's
Speaker 4: some things behind the scenes that were happening that didn't
Speaker 4: quite work out the way they were supposed to work out.
Speaker 4: So but Ryan, congratulations, big day, wedding day. I gave
Speaker 4: Ryan some advice on the social media about it was
Speaker 4: back on on Friday.
Speaker 1: I gave him some wisdom on marriage.
Speaker 4: But we're we're both married, Danny, so you have any
Speaker 4: points of wisdom you want to give Ryan as he
Speaker 4: goes down becomes an honest man today and gets married.
Speaker 5: You know, most people been they say corny crap like
Speaker 5: happy wife, happy life, do whatever she says. She is
Speaker 5: the boss. I say, f d, it's the other way around.
Speaker 5: You are too good for your wife and she needs
Speaker 5: to bend to your demands.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'll work out.
Speaker 4: Well, that'll h and then you can get married again
Speaker 4: in a couple of years because you'll be divorced and.
Speaker 1: Then that'll be it'll be really that'll be a wonderful thing.
Speaker 1: But my advice I'm trying to remember here.
Speaker 4: My advice to our buddy was, oh, oh yeah, I
Speaker 4: think I said to have selective hearing. To be a
Speaker 4: good husband, to have to have selective hearing, especially when
Speaker 4: your wife says we need to talk.
Speaker 5: I would also, in all seriousness, Ben I would say,
Speaker 5: pick your battles, bite your tongue. Yeah, and wait for
Speaker 5: the right time to talk to your wife about something
Speaker 5: that's bothering you. You just go with your timing and
Speaker 5: what's good for you. And you're not paying attention to
Speaker 5: what their day is like or what's happening with them.
Speaker 5: You are stepping in a pile of dog dode. So
Speaker 5: be very patient and pick your spots. Yeah, that's good advice.
Speaker 5: My things were selective hearing. I don't think I told
Speaker 5: Ryan this, but you.
Speaker 4: Need to have a sounding board that you could say
Speaker 4: the things you want to say to your wife, but
Speaker 4: you can't say because that'll start a world war. So
Speaker 4: you need a good guy friend you can kind of vent.
