He's the last remnants 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.480 of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:15.480 treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:19.600 rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

The Fifth Hour 0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:30.640 with Ben Maller starts right now. 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:35.120 In the air everyway, The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:39.919 Mahler and Danny G Radio and a. 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:41.800 Very happy Sunday to you. 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:43.560 It is now how do we look at the fifth 0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:47.120 day of October and it's an NFL Sunday, which is 0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:50.320 great because my weekend's already screwed thanks to the Rams 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:53.239 back on Thursday, a tremendous gag by the La Ram. 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:57.360 Very impressive to lose a game twice against a ragtag 0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:59.680 team of flots of office. But Danny G's with me 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:03.000 as Alway's on the mail bag. Yeah, your Raiders play today, 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.119 so no, you'll get to see them against the Colts 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:06.160 and see how that goes. 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:10.280 And dude, which play call was worse? You make the call? 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.240 The Raiders on that third and two when they needed 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:15.679 to get into field goal range to ice that game 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:20.160 against Chicago, or your Rams pathetically with that fourth down 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:20.800 play call. 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:25.240 Yeah, it's I understand the psychology by the because of 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:28.520 why McVeigh did it, Like I get why he did it, 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:30.960 because he just assumed that they the forty nine ers, 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:33.679 were not very good and the Rams could push the Niners, 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.679 and he was trying to He's trying to give confidence 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:40.480 to Kyrin Williams. It's but the fact that I'm more 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:43.640 upset about his fumble in regulation with a little over 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:44.200 a minute to go. 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:46.520 When the Rams just win, your score a touchdown, you 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:48.240 win the game. That's it. There's not gonna be enough 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:49.559 time for the Niners to come back. 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.960 And you're not a therapist, you're a head coach trying 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:54.800 to give confidence. Bro. 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.840 Yeah, no, I listen, I totally get it. 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.840 I mean the Rams, they they made made mac Jones 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:04.640 look like he was back in Tuscaloosa and playing Auburn 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.240 the way he lit up in the first half. 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:07.520 He didn't. 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:09.320 Mac Jones did not play as well in the second half, 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.760 but he was so good in the first half that 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:14.120 that's really all the Niners needed. They were still able 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.200 to win win that game. So anyway, listen to some 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.560 good games today. We got everything on Benny Versus the Penny. 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:22.679 If you have not watched Bennyvspenny, it's YouTube dot com 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:27.520 slash at Bennyevspenny. All my handicapping, all the picks, everything that, 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.720 as we say on the show, Danny, everything that should happen, 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.560 not what's going to happen based on what should happen. 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:35.560 Unfortunately, there's these things called. 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:39.960 Human beings that get involved and have to f everything up, 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:42.200 like the Rams not really showing up. 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:43.400 How do you handicap that the. 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:45.440 Rams aren't going to show up for a game this 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.760 week five of the NFL season. But I'm looking forward 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:50.720 to seeing the Broncos and the Eagles today. I'll be 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:56.400 at the Charger game. Chargers and the Washington Former Redskins. 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:57.720 I'll be at that game today. 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.280 I'm looking forward to that, and then I'll be watching 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:03.079 obviously everything else on my laptop, flipping around. Got the 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.440 Sunday night game the Patriots and the Bills be checking 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:07.359 that one out as well. 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.880 So watch a little bit of this, a little bit 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:10.120 of that. 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.440 See what's going on today around the NFL. But we 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.760 have and we also have baseball as well. It's not 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.680 just it's not just the the football. There's a lot 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:22.120 of one huh, gotta gotta juggle this, that and the 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.760 other thing. But for now, Danny, we have mail mail 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:26.640 mail mail. 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:28.720 Are you ready? Is Ohio already? 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:37.320 It's mail bag. 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:43.560 All right? 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:46.280 These are actual letters by actual listeners. If you'd like 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.280 to send a letter in for a future mail bag, 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.520 you can do that care of Reeal fifth hour at 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:56.760 gmail dot com. That's real fifth hour at gmail dot com. 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:58.760 Reeal fifth Hour at gmail dot com if you'd like 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:04.080 to send a message in. And first up, we have 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:08.400 Ferg Dog from that winter wonderland of Fullerton, he says, 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:12.240 top of the morning, gentlemen, are you ready to throw 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:14.800 out all of your Geno Smith merch yet? Danny g 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:18.720 Ferg Dog says, If not, what are you waiting for? 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.080 Do you hope the Raiders tank the season so they 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.919 can draft the greatest quarterback prospect in one hundred years? 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:25.920 Arch Manning says, Ferg Dog. 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:30.600 But here's a stat for you. Raiders O line Week four. Obviously, 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.040 the O line had some injuries and was pieced together, 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:37.679 but they came together last week against Chicago. Zero sacks, 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:42.080 no hits allowed on Geno Smith, no penalties on the line, 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:47.080 only one hurry, one pressure, but Gino three interceptions. 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:51.600 Who could have possibly seen this coming? Who could have possibly. 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:55.640 Seen that Gino Smith, who has been a smoking mirrors quarterback, 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.800 would play the way he's played this year? 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:00.480 Hey, he's turn machine. 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:02.720 But you saw who he can be in Week one. 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:06.440 He can be an average or just above average quarterback. 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.839 He has it in him. It's just sometimes he reverts 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:11.880 back to his days with the good old Jets. 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:12.400 Yeah. 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:16.120 Well, Gino through four games is the twenty ninth ranked 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:20.080 quarterback in the NFL. He's essentially got the same numbers 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:24.520 as Russell Wilson, who was benched. He's slightly better than 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:29.000 Bryce Young who's horrific. And Jake Browning and Cam Ward 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:32.760 and Joe Flacco. Those are those are the neighbors that 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:36.680 Gino Smith has at this point. But again, I do 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:39.240 believe the Raiders, Like this is a game the Raiders 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.240 can win. The Colts aren't that good. I saw the 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:44.880 Colts in person last was it last week? 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:45.240 I don't know. 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:47.320 Everything runs to get Yeah, we were both there. 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:48.320 Yeah, yeah you saw him. 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:51.800 I mean they have their defense was toasted by the Rams. 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.760 Their offense actually did pretty well. But I don't think 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.800 the Colts are in an unbeatable team. And we did 0:05:57.839 --> 0:05:59.560 not connect, by the way, because you actually had a 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.960 bougie see Danny like, I'm not allowed to go down 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.640 in that area. I can't get, I could not get. 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:07.560 I was in the press box, you were down near 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:11.680 the field, and I guess we could have maybe met halfway, 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:13.360 but I thought you were going to be a little 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:13.920 higher up. 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:16.760 I was sitting with the Nikua family. 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:21.200 Yeah, you had great, great seats and you got to 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.200 do some scouting on the cult. Did you let did 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.680 you let Pete Carroll know what you saw? Did you 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.479 you let him know what your any tendency? 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:30.800 I think you know something about Pete Carroll. He doesn't 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:32.080 listen to anybody. 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:33.480 Piece in his own world. 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:34.240 Damn it. 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:37.520 We thank you for Dock. 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:39.599 So I guess the answer to the question is you 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:43.240 haven't purchased any Geno Smith merch so therefore you don't 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:44.440 need to throw anything away. 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.080 No, And the only thing I bought before the season 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:53.520 began an Ashton genty T shirt. Okay, which Ashton genty 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.599 is great? Even the Rams fans were going wild when 0:06:56.600 --> 0:07:01.279 they showed that sixty four yard touchdown on the big screen. 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.080 Even the Rams fans were ooing and awing at that 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:08.479 high stepping he did to get out of that Chicago grasp. Alright, 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:10.760 he bore it up last week. Yeah good. 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:13.640 Yeah, he was off the little shaky start first couple 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:16.600 of games, but he found his footing against the Bears. 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:20.000 The Bears. Yeah, he's back to that Michael Myers stance 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:21.080 where he's standing up. 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:24.760 Yes, Reggie from Detroit, right, since says, hey, Ben and 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:28.520 Danny g I'm ready to go third rail if you 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:31.240 guys are, He says, I want to get your guys 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:35.080 on Live Golf and how their finances are working. 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:36.280 He sent me a story here. 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:41.920 Danny says Live Golf International Operations lost four hundred and 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:47.560 sixty one million dollars last year. According to financial filings. 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.679 The United Kingdom based arm not the US. The United 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:56.200 Kingdom generated just sixty four million dollars in revenue against 0:07:56.720 --> 0:08:00.720 five hundred and twenty six million dollars in expenses from 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.960 its seven non US events. According to story Reggie sent 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:07.960 he also wanted to get our thoughts on Dave Chappelle. 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:12.640 Ripping free speech in America while doing comedy in Saudi Arabia. 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:18.160 I went a side note to that live golf story. Okay, 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:22.480 I'm reading here that they still owe Kawhi Leonard twenty 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:23.880 two million dollars. 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:29.440 Well, I hope Kawhi gets his money. I hope he 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:31.680 gets all of that. 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:33.319 Could be another one all tied together. 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.120 That podcast guy that no, I don't forget his name, 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.400 that guy could do another podcast and all that. But 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:41.439 and then Reggie says, when is that Saudi oil money 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:45.360 going to reach Overnight radio. I'm pretty sure, Reggie, they're 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:47.920 they're not interested in me. But yeah, they got a 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:48.760 lot of money to burn. 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:49.000 Man. 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:50.000 They have that. 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.440 We've told the story about the Mexican drug lords. They 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:53.960 had so much money they didn't know what to do 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:55.440 with it because they couldn't put it in the bank. 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:57.200 So the legend, I don't know. 0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:00.000 If this is true or not, the legend is they 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:01.160 some of these guys had so much money in the 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:04.400 Mexican drug cartels they would just bury it in the backyard. 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:05.280 They didn't know what to do with it. 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:08.160 They just like dug holes and buried the money and 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:10.280 and just kept it. 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:13.240 That's like when Tony Soprano used to put all his 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.520 cash stacks of cash with his bird feed in the 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:20.079 garbage cans out by his pool, it ran out of space. 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:25.800 It's insane. So yeah, there were stories about them. I 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:29.080 guess sports washing. You know, they've got this Saudi fun 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:31.600 that's got all the oil money in it. And I 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:33.400 don't know how all that works. I've just read some 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:37.240 stuff online. But as I understand it, that's nothing like 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:39.520 they had, Like that's they're not even worried about that. 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.240 Can you imagine losing four hundred and sixty one million 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:45.079 dollars and you don't even bat an eye like that's why. 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:48.080 And I'd love to know how much Chappelle got for 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:49.960 doing And he wasn't alone. There were a bunch of 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:52.360 famous comedians that took the money. Kevin Hard I think 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:54.840 was part of that also. And do you think they 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:58.880 paid extra to like put all extra top like ripping 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:01.240 the us on there that Chappelle got a little. 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:04.319 Bony for that, or like the sheets paid them extra 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:06.840 if they would rub their feet after their performance. 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:09.800 I mean, geez, I mean a little much. 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:11.800 You know, it's a little a little tough, but you know, 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:16.840 as I learned the book The Magic Christian. You know, 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.360 everyone's got their price, right, Everyone's got their price, And 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:21.240 people say, I'm not going to do this. I believe 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.440 in this. Well, how much money is there? Okay, I 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:28.520 can change my position. BLA all right, Uh, listener D, 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:31.840 I'm not sure what that's for. I'm sure it's not named. 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:37.200 But listener D writes in from Georgia, Georgia. He says, Hey, 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:39.960 Ben and Danny, I wondered if this story would make 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:44.800 Animal Thunderdome enjoy the podcast. D listen as often as 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:45.120 I can. 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.199 Thank you, D. He just I like it. He's got 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:49.120 He just said Georgia. 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:52.240 I'm assuming Atlanta because I think when I think of Georgia, 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:54.200 I just think of Atlanta. But he sent this story 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:57.360 to any I'm assuming you guys probably saw this a 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.679 It's a story that an alligator was spotted outside a 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:06.319 McDonald's in I believe Macon, Georgia here and the video 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:09.640 has gone viral. It was a twelve foot gator was 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:13.079 found outside of McDonald's on Rocky Creek Road in Macon, 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:18.679 Georgia this past weekend, and apparently what had happened here 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:23.000 is the reason it went viral is because a crowd 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:29.640 of people worked together to wrangle the gator. They decided 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:34.040 they took the animal world and do you imagine deciding, 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.080 you know what we need to do, We need to 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:40.360 wrangle the gator and with the video went on like 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:44.200 Facebook live and pretty wild. They worked together to help 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:47.720 wrangle the gator. And because yeah, what did they put 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:48.440 over his head? 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:49.320 A T shirt? 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:51.880 Yeah, it looks like I'm looking at the thing. It 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.880 looks like a black is that the key a black shirt? 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:56.360 Or somebody just covered the eyes of the gate. 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:58.600 It looks like someone just took their T shirt off 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:00.720 put it over the alley gator's head. 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:04.640 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm looking at the news story 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:07.720 here says the bib County Sheriff's office said it was 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:11.520 called about four to ford in the afternoon. Responded they 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:15.480 were authorities were assisted by a gator trapper who was 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:17.800 able to remove the animal from the area. The community 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:21.199 came together. It was outside like an hour and a half. 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:28.000 But then they complained. They said, well, we discouraged such actions. 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.480 The residents should not be doing this putting themselves at risk. 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:35.600 Of course they say that for liability, Yeah, they have 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:37.560 to say that I was a jacket. 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:39.920 This guy says, I threw my jacket over its head. 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.880 What would it take for you, Danny, to wrestle twelve 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:45.920 foot alligator? 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:49.880 What would that take? No, I don't know. I would 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:52.319 do it for free, just to prove how manly I am. 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:56.960 That's right, balls. The size of candalopes absolutely all right. 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:02.000 Dave from Florida rights in another guy with just representing 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:02.400 the state. 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:04.640 A big state, lots of cities. But who knows? 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:06.080 All right? You do you? 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:10.480 Dave says, Hey, guys, do you believe the story going 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:14.080 around about Burger King. I am one of the few 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:16.160 people that still eat at Burger King, and I don't 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:19.800 believe it, says Dave. So the story here, Danny g 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:27.440 is that Burger King executives at a recent franchise convention, 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:31.679 they were talking about the marketing of Burger King and 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:37.160 the mascot, the Creepy King mascot was brought up. 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.360 That had been a staple of Burger King for a. 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:44.200 Long time, the marketing, and it stopped about ten years ago, 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.200 maybe longer than that. It was retired. It's made a 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:51.960 few appearances, but not very many. So anyway, Dave points 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:55.400 out that the story is the reason Burger King got 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:59.760 rid of the Creepy King mascot is because their market researched. 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.800 Hermaned that kids were. 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:06.760 So freaked out by the creepy Burger King mascot that 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:09.320 they didn't want to eat at Burger King. Instead would 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:12.840 go to McDonald's because they didn't they felt scared of 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:16.839 the mask. That's according to that's according to what Burger 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:19.800 King told their franchise people. 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.600 So that is a creepy mascot. 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:26.360 Yeah, you know, it looks like what's the guy's name? 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:29.560 Is a famous Philadelphia sports talk shows, So I. 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:29.920 Think it's not. 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.800 I think he got whacked. What's the guy's name? I 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:34.520 forget Howard Eskin. I don't know if you don't even 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:35.880 know who that is. But Howard Eskin was like a 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:39.120 legendary Philadelphia sports talk radio host. He was like the 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:42.360 Mike Francessa of Philadelphia. Or in LA we had had 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:45.160 Joe McDonald who was the legend or San Diego Hacksaw 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:49.080 and just read on red the whole thing, and yeah, 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:50.840 burg Scott Man was. 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:52.320 It was so scary. 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:55.520 Remember in those years, Nanny, around twenty nine twenty ten, 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:59.000 people were dressing up for Halloween as the creepy King 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:00.000 like they were. 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:01.600 I was just gonna say, you know who could pull 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:04.880 that off as a Halloween costume? Who's that? The Niners 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.760 backup quarterback Mac Jones. Did you see him after the game? 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:12.000 Oh yeah, yeah, that was in the two face batman suit. 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.160 Yeah. Yeah, that's a little much. 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:17.880 Hollywould need, is the King's head? 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:19.320 Yeah? 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:19.600 Yeah? 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:19.880 Yeah. 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:23.480 All right, Barry from South Carolina right said, and he says, yo, yo, ma, Benny, 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.800 I think we need some clarification on Van the one 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:29.960 legged Bama Man. I am saying the gator did not 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:33.240 take his leg off and eat it, but he got 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.080 bit by the gator. And the gator has so much 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:40.040 bacteria in their mouth that the leg got amputated. 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:41.800 Can we get the four to one one on this 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:42.560 from Van? 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:46.760 The next time he calls Barry, that is actually accurate 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:47.880 the story you're telling you. 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:49.080 And he has told that story. 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:54.080 And and so Van did have his leg bitten by 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:58.800 the gator, and a good chunk of the gator took 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:01.120 a big chunk of the leg and the ligaments, but 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:03.920 technically the leg, the limb. 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:09.440 Was still hanging on to Van, the one leged Bama Man. 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:11.560 But by the time they got to the hospital and 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:14.680 everything they did have to they had to cut off 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:15.040 the leg. 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:18.120 They could not reattach the leg. 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:23.920 And so, yeah, we are we embellishing the story a 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:25.520 little bit to make it a better story. 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:27.320 Are we sugarcoating it? 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.000 Yeah, a little bit, a little bit, Berry, But the 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:32.320 leg was cut off because of the gator. 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:34.760 It just was cut off at a hospital. 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:39.040 And it's it's fair to say that that gator did 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:44.400 get some of the DNA, some of the skins, some 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:47.560 of the ligaments in its belly, that it. 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:49.200 Wasn't a you know, he didn't rip the whole leg 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:50.080 off and all that. 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:52.720 And you know the way it goes, Berry, it's a 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.200 fish story, right, it's a shaggy dog story. 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:58.280 And so you add on to a little bit, you 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:01.920 add on to the story. And so yeah, that's. 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:05.080 Van the one legged Bama Man, which is still a 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.240 wild So it's one of the great stories. And I 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:09.399 don't think it's exaggeration to say that you have your 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:12.480 leg bitten so bad they have to amputate it because 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.760 the gator took ligaments and all that off in the bacteria. 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:18.000 And then you kill the gator and then eat the. 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:21.159 Gator like that's that's a doozy, Like that's a hum 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:26.280 dinger of a story. So yeah, that's that's the deal. 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:30.480 Next up is your friend Scott from Florida, says Ben, 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:33.639 and Danny g I was reading in the Athletic today 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:37.919 that Aj Preler likes ketchup on his steak. Now, Danny, 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:40.600 this question is for you, because Ben cannot answer it 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:44.600 from a neutral vantage point. What is the bigger culinary sin, Danny, 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:48.560 ketchup on a steak or butterflying a steak and cooking 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:52.760 it well done? The ketchup is the ketchup isn't as bad, right, 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:55.639 because you can always scrape it off, But a well 0:17:55.680 --> 0:18:01.080 done butterfly steak is just unforgivable, right, says Scott. 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:04.040 Well, I almost think you would pitch the chef off 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:07.840 more if you put ketchup on his creation. Because even 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:12.119 my better half gets upset when she makes a masterful 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:17.119 plate of eggs in avocado toast, and she'll put it 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:19.679 on the table and she's very proud of the breakfast. 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:22.200 And then what do I take out of the refrigerator 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:25.320 bottle of ketchup and put it on the eggs and 0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:27.880 she looks at me sideways. She gets so pissed when 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:29.720 I put ketchup on her eggs. 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:32.240 Leave me alone? Yeah? 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:36.640 Yeah, And I would argue for Scott that the way 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:41.880 he phrased that Danny was, in legal terms, leading the witness. Right, 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:43.880 you're not allowed to lead the witness like the way 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:46.200 he and you didn't answer the way he wanted you 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:48.880 to answer. But when he said, but a well done 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.840 butterfly sneak is just unforgivable, right. 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:55.640 That is, yeah, least saying you could scrape ketchup off 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:57.680 a steak. But why would you do that if you 0:18:57.720 --> 0:18:59.119 want to ketch up on the steak? 0:18:59.600 --> 0:18:59.800 Yeah? 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:02.359 And can we just say, I mean, it's not going 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:04.280 to come automatically with ketchup on it. 0:19:04.960 --> 0:19:09.640 Yeah, let's just say right now that Can we all 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:14.679 agree that the chef, the cliche of the chef that 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:19.480 gets offended by the way the customer wants the food cooked, 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:20.440 can go to hell? 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:22.040 Can we all agree on that? 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:24.440 I mean, what do you well, you don't completely get 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:27.359 off the hook here, ben, because that kind of meat 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:31.120 was not meant to be black, all right, It's supposed 0:19:31.160 --> 0:19:35.800 to be just the perfect amount of tender inside. When 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:38.280 you cut it in half. I don't like to see red. 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:40.600 I don't want to see any blood. But I don't 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:43.520 want it burned either. Just a nice little char on 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:48.600 it and no pink left and it's perfect. Well you you. 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:50.000 Do you, and I'll do me. 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:53.880 And cooking, as the Great Anthony Bourdain said, as a craft, 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:57.480 a good cook, as a craftsman, not an artist. 0:19:57.480 --> 0:19:59.240 And a craft also burn your toast. 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:00.919 I don't eat toast. 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:02.280 I don't. 0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:04.320 I like my eggs well done. I like my food 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:05.359 well done. I like it cooked. 0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:08.160
