Speaker 1: Cutbooms.
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 sol fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Speaker 1: Maller and Danny G. Radio. It is Sunday, and it's
Speaker 1: an NFL Sunday. We got two more games today, including
Speaker 1: a possible snow game. But before we get into this,
Speaker 1: Ohio al get me in the mood. It's all right,
Speaker 1: and we welcome in the Great Danny G Radio. Here
Speaker 1: for the mailback. Hello, Danny G. You have been missed,
Speaker 1: my man.
Speaker 3: You have Oh, hey, man, I would like you to
Speaker 3: know going into Sunday here, I am two and oh
Speaker 3: with my picks.
Speaker 1: You are you two and O? Are you sure? But
Speaker 1: you want to you want to give out your No.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to believe, but we are here
Speaker 1: hanging out plausibly early on a Sunday with the Patriots
Speaker 1: and Detection. Still time to watch Benny Versus the Penny
Speaker 1: on YouTube Benny Vspenny.
Speaker 3: I clicked on it last week, by the way, and
Speaker 3: I like how it's evolved. You and Looney look a
Speaker 3: little smoother on those YouTube cameras.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, well, you know, we we've embraced it. We're
Speaker 1: more like mister Beast now or what's that I show
Speaker 1: speed or I speed something or I don't know.
Speaker 3: A very very broke mister Beast.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, so he says he's he's broke.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Do you believe that?
Speaker 3: You believe I would say, and you guys are the
Speaker 3: broke version of him.
Speaker 1: Oh no, Mister Beest claims that he had no actual money,
Speaker 1: that all of his money is tied up in I
Speaker 1: forget what he said, but he claimed he doesn't have
Speaker 1: any actual.
Speaker 3: Fund Yeah, dude, I forgot about that story. But that's
Speaker 3: bs right.
Speaker 1: It's you'd think. I don't know. I am a big
Speaker 1: believer of the matrix theory that social media a lot
Speaker 1: of it's just bullshit, So I I don't I mean,
Speaker 1: it seems like he's very popular. I I went to
Speaker 1: the store the other day. I think I talked about
Speaker 1: it in a previous episode, but I saw, like I
Speaker 1: think it was mister beasts jerky, and I thought, well, boy,
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of people are buying that. They
Speaker 1: want that mister Beef's beef jerky or whatever mister Beast
Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't know, he's absolutely hornswoggled
Speaker 1: some people to get on board. So I assume that
Speaker 1: that's he's getting paid for that, right I would?
Speaker 3: I would think, yes, imagine having your own jerky, Like
Speaker 3: if you could have something right at the counter at
Speaker 3: seven eleven's, what would it be for product?
Speaker 1: Oh see, that's a good, good question. Mallard product, Mallard branding.
Speaker 1: How about like a Mallard peanut butter cup? You know,
Speaker 1: we could take down the Reese's peanut butter cup. We
Speaker 1: could take them down, and I think that would be solid.
Speaker 1: You want something right at the checkout stand people grab
Speaker 1: real quick. That would be that wouldn't be that?
Speaker 3: What would the about an energy drink? Mallard do Maward?
Speaker 1: What would Danny's product be? What would your Danny g
Speaker 1: product be?
Speaker 3: I'd go kind of in the beef jerky lane, but
Speaker 3: the slim gym.
Speaker 1: Oh slim Jim slim jim.
Speaker 3: Okay, oh dude, those slim gym those are a lifesaver.
Speaker 3: Like if you're on a road trip and there's you know,
Speaker 3: nowhere to stop. If you have a slim gym in
Speaker 3: the car, your money.
Speaker 1: Well, I could do mallar like a Mallard trail mix,
Speaker 1: but not healthy because I hate, you know, my anti
Speaker 1: raisin position racist. I have a very strong anti position,
Speaker 1: anti raisin position much I did. I'm part of the
Speaker 1: anti raisin caucus actually with anti ranch dressing the whole thing.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that was a political term the caucus, you know. Uh,
Speaker 1: and yeah, I'm against that. I was attracted to the
Speaker 1: giant metal cock. How dare you?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 1: I would support trail mix with like extra chocolate and
Speaker 1: now you get the peanuts in there, you mix some
Speaker 1: other nuts in there, but you have a lot a
Speaker 1: lot of unhealthy stuff. Make it, make it delicious. So
Speaker 1: we have actual mail from actual listeners on the Wonderful
Speaker 1: mail Bag. The first one up is Kwang our buddy
Speaker 1: in He claims Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, and he says
Speaker 1: Grande Ben and Daddy G Radio Duncan Donuts has posted
Speaker 1: the following due to a nationwide penny shortage. We kindly
Speaker 1: asked the guest pay with exact change when possible. If not,
Speaker 1: your change will be rounded up to the nearest nickel
Speaker 1: or dime in your favor. And he says, do you
Speaker 1: think that this will be a trend in other businesses
Speaker 1: as well? I have not seen this? Have you seen this? Nanny?
Speaker 1: I have, and I go to there's a lot of
Speaker 1: stores I have not seen, as most people pay with
Speaker 1: credit cards.
Speaker 3: I've seen one sign like this and it was inside
Speaker 3: the gas station right off my exit here at the
Speaker 3: one on one Freeway.
Speaker 1: Oh you have seen it, Okay, I've not. I go
Speaker 1: to a Costco, Walmart, the grocery store, a bunch of
Speaker 1: other random places, and I have not. I've not seen it. Well,
Speaker 1: that works out in your favor. Though, it works out
Speaker 1: in your favors, so you'd be you wouldn't be against it, right.
Speaker 3: That helps out the hobos. I think they had that
Speaker 3: sign up because you got some panhandlers out there by
Speaker 3: the freeway and they probably buy a lot of the
Speaker 3: candy bars with change.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, if I had, like even if it was
Speaker 1: like let's say the candy bar was a dollar eleven,
Speaker 1: I would even if I had a penny, I'd be like, okay,
Speaker 1: I get an extra four cents. I would like the
Speaker 1: extra four cents. I'm good.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: That's how cheap I am. Alf Wrights and now Alf
Speaker 1: is our weather guy. He reports there will be some
Speaker 1: snow flurries today for the Patriots game. Wow, he gave
Speaker 1: me the Wulf. Is it the ALF Doppler two thousand?
Speaker 1: I think it is. He sent that in so. He
Speaker 1: also says, greetings and salutations, gentlemen. Shortly after the Malor
Speaker 1: meet and greet in Minnesota, I received a special delivery
Speaker 1: from the Land of ten Thousand Lakes. This delivery came
Speaker 1: in an envelope with a return address of the Great
Speaker 1: mensch Eke in Roseville, Minnesota, and was none other, he says,
Speaker 1: none other than the Mallar bumper sticker produced by Femi.
Speaker 1: I believe, I'm greg Yeah, f that's Femi made a
Speaker 1: bunch of those bumper stickers in Minnesota's great said bumper sticker.
Speaker 1: Grace has grace the back window of the ALF mobile
Speaker 1: ever since. Unfortunately, the car wash has recently claimed said
Speaker 1: bumper sticker. And I need an emergency Mallard monologue on
Speaker 1: the update status of the Mallor merch. What say you,
Speaker 1: I may need to reach out to the Mallard branding specialist,
Speaker 1: the great Broussard Knee Moving Company if things don't materialize suit.
Speaker 1: So al that has gone on, As we say in
Speaker 1: the business the back burner, we need to circle back.
Speaker 1: The plan was, and this is Danny, you appreciate this.
Speaker 1: I thought, boy, I'll get loaded, I'll get rich. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have all this merch out for Christmas and Hanukah
Speaker 1: and people are gonna buy Malord merch and give it
Speaker 1: to their kids and their grandkids and all this shit.
Speaker 1: And never the deal fell apart. So I have not
Speaker 1: circled back, as they say in politics, to that, I
Speaker 1: do need to do that. There's a lot of layers
Speaker 1: to that. The merch game.
Speaker 3: At least you never tease people with it by taking
Speaker 3: orders because check this out really quick. So all football
Speaker 3: season for Covino and Rich, we've been giving away IOUs
Speaker 3: for turbo nerve footballs. Okay, and we've done NERF football
Speaker 3: giveaways before, but we thought I will spruce it up
Speaker 3: and do the turbo balls this time. I'm waiting weeks
Speaker 3: and weeks and weeks. This order is not arriving. I'm
Speaker 3: getting hit up email after email from the winners, like
Speaker 3: where is my where's my prize? At? Did you forget
Speaker 3: about me? The order finally arrives Ciris, who you know
Speaker 3: well at our building.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: He walks into the studio and he's like, Jenny, there's
Speaker 3: three big boxes upstairs for you. You need to go retrieve them.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, yes, the footballs are here. I get
Speaker 3: up there, Ben, I open up the first box. They
Speaker 3: sent many footballs, mini size.
Speaker 1: Oh no, you fired.
Speaker 3: It's turbo and the logos are right on it. But
Speaker 3: it's a tenth of the size of the football we're
Speaker 3: supposed to be giving away to the listeners.
Speaker 1: Oh no, what did you do?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I had to start all over. The good
Speaker 3: news is I get to keep those. Oh. The bad
Speaker 3: news is the winners had to wait another month.
Speaker 1: Gotcha? Yeah. I was thinking we would do that kind
Speaker 1: of setup though, where you have to because the problem
Speaker 1: I've done with merch in the past is you got
Speaker 1: to store it and before if you buy it, and
Speaker 1: then people pay for it when they want or buy
Speaker 1: it when they want, you know, if I have pre order.
Speaker 1: I think we'll do a pre order thing where you
Speaker 1: have to if you want something, you have to pre order,
Speaker 1: and we'll put limits on it. That way, it's limited edition,
Speaker 1: and it's also we just have a cutoff point. Otherwise
Speaker 1: you just keep stuff.
Speaker 3: That's one positive of having a mansion. There at the
Speaker 3: Mallard Mansion, you have twelve extra bedrooms. Is you use
Speaker 3: one of those extra guest rooms as your storage?
Speaker 1: Great idea, Ferg Doog rights in and force is this
Speaker 1: happy mint condition year, Ben and Danny G. It's way
Speaker 1: too late to say news, so I won't be doing
Speaker 1: that anymore. Okay, I see what you did there for
Speaker 1: dog Got How are you able to send these emails?
Speaker 1: I can't believe you have internet connection. It's so cold.
Speaker 1: I can't believe you're able to pull that off, He says.
Speaker 1: I know you hate bumper music, Ben, bumper music talk,
Speaker 1: but I'm surprised it goes all the way back nine
Speaker 1: years ago some caller wanted to compliment Danny G's bumps
Speaker 1: and you were not having it. I think the only
Speaker 1: thing that annoys you more than listeners caring about music
Speaker 1: on a sports radio show is shoddy editing from the interns,
Speaker 1: he says that, yeah, I had I had to melt down.
Speaker 1: I talked about a podcast this weekend. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: set up a whole monologue for a SoundBite, Danny, and
Speaker 1: then the hook on the sound bite was the pause.
Speaker 1: That was the hook, that was the story, the GM
Speaker 1: pause for the vikings, and the editor decided to take
Speaker 1: out the pause, which is.
Speaker 3: Which which normally that would be a good thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I was, Oh my god, I was like
Speaker 1: I was, I was really enhancing it. I was gonna
Speaker 1: build it up, you know, pause the hood. Anyway, anyways, yes,
Speaker 1: uh oh, I was just gonna say about the bumper music.
Speaker 1: I loved playing it on your show because not only
Speaker 1: did I get to play a great variety of genres
Speaker 1: of music for for the Mallard Militia, but that's when
Speaker 1: you were taking laps around the entire building. Yes, I
Speaker 1: used to do. Now what I do is I walk
Speaker 1: up and down that back hallway, which I know we're
Speaker 1: leaving that studio eventually and going somewhere else, which is
Speaker 1: gonna suck. But uh yeah, the uh, the the you
Speaker 1: know the hallway that goes back to Kiras's office. You
Speaker 1: know talking about the old Yeah. Yeah, So I walked
Speaker 1: back in a loop. I walked through the which is
Speaker 1: I guess the Cowherd La studio, and then I walk
Speaker 1: in a loop de loop. But I'm able to hear
Speaker 1: when I need to come back. Although I did get
Speaker 1: harmonized this week. Mike Harmon, the Great Mike Harmon was
Speaker 1: he was there recording his podcast and I saw him
Speaker 1: as I was taking the top of the hour. I
Speaker 1: think it was the top of the art. I don't know,
Speaker 1: one of the timeouts, and so I'm doing a walkie
Speaker 1: talkie with Harmon. Right, We're doing the walkie talkie and
Speaker 1: he kept going and and I was like, like two
Speaker 1: minutes late. I was a little late, but I blame
Speaker 1: I blame the gremlins. I blame the gremlins.
Speaker 3: Well, you didn't have it timed out back in the
Speaker 3: day when you took those big laps around the building.
Speaker 3: So I could play like Boston more than a feeling.
Speaker 3: And I got to play the intro, the first verse
Speaker 3: of the song, and then the hook would come in
Speaker 3: and then you came running through the door, and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I got to play a minute of that song.
Speaker 1: Well, not only that, but I occasionally, when I was
Speaker 1: walking around the building in beautiful Sherman Oaks, I would
Speaker 1: have great conversations with some of the vagrants in the neighborhood,
Speaker 1: which dragged me aside. It was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: I had such great fun anyway. He says, also from
Speaker 1: nine years ago, apparently you got into trouble once for
Speaker 1: telling some kind of offensive Jewish joke racist. Have you
Speaker 1: been worn since then for saying anything offensive? And if
Speaker 1: you can remember what was the joke? Oh, yeah, it
Speaker 1: wasn't a joke. It was well, it was kind of
Speaker 1: a joke. We had a sponsor that was a bacon company.
Speaker 1: I will not say the name. It was bad, I
Speaker 1: remember this, Yeah, And the hook was blank Bacon's. You know.
Speaker 1: Looney would do the read and we would go back
Speaker 1: and forth and then and I said, blank Bacon's so
Speaker 1: good even the Jews like it, you know, which is
Speaker 1: of course a yeah. I felt like I was allowed
Speaker 1: to do that being a Jewish. I'm not a hardcore
Speaker 1: Jewish guy. I'm you know, casual whatever, And uh yeah,
Speaker 1: one one or two people got very upset and said
Speaker 1: that was offensive and the whole thing. So I got
Speaker 1: in some trouble. Oh with that, nobody's used the hard
Speaker 1: w nobody exactly. Nobody can take a joke. I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, can't we all to me some of the
Speaker 1: greatest comedies people you know, just goofing on that kind
Speaker 1: of you know, racial stuff or religious I think it's funny.
Speaker 1: I guess back when I was growing up there we
Speaker 1: had comedians that did that kind of stuff, and.
Speaker 3: It was in as long as they were eoe and
Speaker 3: everybody was fair game, it was great.
Speaker 1: Exactly exactly, so I didn't think that was a big deal.
Speaker 1: But whatever Scott from Florida Wrights and it says Ben
Speaker 1: and Danny, my two year old can't have any normal
Speaker 1: foods in his lunch because of all the people's allergies
Speaker 1: at preschool. Apparently there's one teacher who is deafly allergic
Speaker 1: to cinnamon, like it's in the air, she will have
Speaker 1: a near death experience. There's no way, right, Like, if
Speaker 1: that were the case, the lady would never step forward
Speaker 1: in a restaurant or a supermarket. Can I get a
Speaker 1: minute long mallor investigation analysis into the situation?
Speaker 3: Or a bakery bin or imagine her going inside a
Speaker 3: donut shop?
Speaker 1: Well, how about this, Danny. How about you fly into
Speaker 1: like Denver or Salt Lake and there's a cinabun. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Oh my God, to die, I'm
Speaker 1: about a cinnabut. So I did look it up here
Speaker 1: in my notes. It's estimated that well under one percent
Speaker 1: of the population is considered allergic to cinnamon. And they
Speaker 1: say that the sensitivity intolerance intolerance is much more common,
Speaker 1: or sensitivity rather affects a few percent more than that.
Speaker 1: But it's usually sensitive skin oral allergy syndrome, and true
Speaker 1: cinemonalogy is extremely rare, Like I said, less one percent
Speaker 1: and usually it's just skin or mouth related. Severe reactions
Speaker 1: are extremely uncommon. So I it's possible that you happen
Speaker 1: to find it teacher for your kid that is in
Speaker 1: the less than one percent. But I'm gonna go that.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's total bull pucky, but it's close
Speaker 1: to bullpucky. How about that, Danny, I don't know. That's
Speaker 1: a lot is conceivable. How lucky are you, though, Scott
Speaker 1: that you found the one teacher in America.
Speaker 3: That is alertic tokinnemy.
Speaker 1: That's great. I love I love cinnamon.
Speaker 3: Dan, I do too, man. I can't imagine that if
Speaker 3: I couldn't have that.
Speaker 1: Cinnamon is so good. Marcus in San Antonio writes it, says,
Speaker 1: Dear big Man and Danny G. In previous messages to
Speaker 1: the mail bag, I have mentioned growing up listening to
Speaker 1: a lot of sports talk and a lot of AM
Speaker 1: talk radio. God bless you, Marcus, with podcasts making your
Speaker 1: favorite broadcast or more available. I appreciate how much easier
Speaker 1: it is to find content that I prefer. With that
Speaker 1: being said, there are only so many episodes of the
Speaker 1: Ben Maler Show and the Weekend Podcast available, Marcus says,
Speaker 1: before I get stuck trying to find something else to
Speaker 1: entertain me, which I have found becomes more difficult on
Speaker 1: the weekends. And now the hook, Danny, We're about to
Speaker 1: get the hook, he says. Now the hook, he says.
Speaker 1: My question is if you were taking a multi hour
Speaker 1: trip in the Maladmobile, your cell phone was dead and
Speaker 1: you only had two sports talk shows to listen to
Speaker 1: on the weekend, would you prefer a a show hosted
Speaker 1: by three former NFL players or be a sports show
Speaker 1: hosted by two female radio personalities. Any guidance so suggest
Speaker 1: this is like a Sophie's choice here, any guidance or
Speaker 1: suggestions would be available. I usually tend to go with
Speaker 1: option C, which is a listen to music. He says,
Speaker 1: as always, thank you for the greatest show, but it
Speaker 1: loves Danny g Hi.
Speaker 3: Could I please steal this? I told you about that
Speaker 3: game I came up with for CNR called Brainwave. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I want to use this next Friday, and I'll ask
Speaker 3: the question, would you rather be stuck in a car
Speaker 3: listening to two female sports talk hosts? What was the
Speaker 3: other one?
Speaker 1: Or three professional for former athlete players?
Speaker 3: Well, that's great, and then I'll need a third one
Speaker 3: because I give three choices.
Speaker 1: What would the other option be?
Speaker 3: What would the other horrible one be? Like an eighty
Speaker 3: year old sports talk guy who used to be a
Speaker 3: legend thirty years ago, and he reads.
Speaker 1: Stats like Mike francessa radio, Well those are New York guy,
Speaker 1: one of them. They're both fro New York. So you
Speaker 1: wouldn't do that. You'd have to pick somebody from like
Speaker 1: Mike North. Are our buddy Mike North in Chicago? Oh,
Speaker 1: there's no question, but I love mine?
Speaker 3: Yeah? And North and Northey was great when he had
Speaker 3: a partner with him and producers. Remember I got to
Speaker 3: produce him after your show for a little while. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but on the days where Andy Furman couldn't make the
Speaker 3: show and Mike was by himself, oh my lord, and
Speaker 3: literally opened up the Chicago Tribune and read baseball box scores.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you some of it. I know we
Speaker 1: can talk about this on the potas So. When stephen A.
Speaker 1: Smith started as a talk showst is, some of his
Speaker 1: first shows were at Fox Sports Radio, and I've told
Speaker 1: the story before. He did a show with John Ireland
Speaker 1: as he was learning radio. Steven A right, radio is
Speaker 1: much harder than television. At that time, stephen A was
Speaker 1: just kind of starting his TV career at ESPN, but
Speaker 1: he was doing a radio show for US. He was
Speaker 1: still a columnist in Philadelphia, so he did a show
Speaker 1: with John Ireland on a I think it was Saturday morning.
Speaker 1: I believe it was Saturday morning. Anyway, I was doing updates.
Speaker 1: I was doing the overnight showing that I did updates after.
Speaker 1: So steven A he did the show from Philadelphia, was
Speaker 1: living in Philadelphia at the time, but every once in
Speaker 1: a while he would be in LA and I'd run
Speaker 1: into him.
Speaker 3: Whatever.
Speaker 1: So one time the Lakers were playing on Friday. I
Speaker 1: think they were like Salt Lake or Denver somewhere. Anyway,
Speaker 1: the flight got delayed so John couldn't make He didn't
Speaker 1: couldn't do the show. Oh no, yeah, So Stephen Stephen
Speaker 1: A was by himself and I heard a man literally
Speaker 1: drown on the radio. People don't realize the skill set.
Speaker 1: And I know we're not like fixing any ben.
Speaker 3: I think this is because guys like him and Northeast,
Speaker 3: they're really good at reacting to what other people set up.
Speaker 3: But when it's up to you to set it up
Speaker 3: and react, it does not work out well for guys
Speaker 3: that can't do both things.
Speaker 1: It is a difficult skill set, it is. And it's
Speaker 1: also when you work with someone too. It's also if
Speaker 1: you if you aren't on the same wavelength. That also
Speaker 1: is uh. You know, you a two man show. If
Speaker 1: you have somebody that's carrying their weight, that's great. But
Speaker 1: I've done shows with people sometimes who let's just say Danny,
Speaker 1: they they're not fully invested, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: and it becomes different, that becomes a problem. So both
Speaker 1: people there's a it's like poetry in motion or audio, whatever.
Speaker 1: When you're when you're working together with somebody and they're
Speaker 1: really into it and you're going back and forth, it magical.
Speaker 1: You don't need anything else. But if you're working with
Speaker 1: someone and they're not into it, holy can I mean, Mike,
Speaker 1: it is, it is here, it really is. And would
Speaker 1: answer the question, Marcus, I I guess I would pick
Speaker 1: I guess I would pick the the athletes. It depends.
Speaker 1: I mean, there are some athletes that are okay. A
Speaker 1: lot of them though, don't know the formatics, and I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, i'd go option CE too. I'd probably just
Speaker 1: turn on some.
Speaker 3: Music, to be honest, turn on some and sometimes I
Speaker 3: just want to hear the athletes opinion on what's going
Speaker 3: on right now. I don't need to hear about what
Speaker 3: you saw in a game fifteen years ago when you
Speaker 3: were on the field. Yeah that's cool, that's cool once
Speaker 3: in a while. But I think some of the former
Speaker 3: athletes get too caught up in all that.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. Yeah, they want to tell old war stories,
Speaker 1: which is fine, but yeah, it's like, you know, I
Speaker 1: want to.
Speaker 3: That would be like you coming on your Overnight show saying,
Speaker 3: you know, this reminds me of an overnight show I
Speaker 3: did back in two thousand and five.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, people like who gives a shit on percundred percent?
Speaker 1: Keep it going on the mail bag here, Let's see
Speaker 1: what else we have. JT the Wingman from just outside Knoxville, Tennessee.
Speaker 1: He said he's from Wisconsin, though he says, as these
Speaker 1: seas and ended so terribly for my packers last week.
Speaker 1: JT says, it means that I have a little more
Speaker 1: free time in my life to contemplate other things. I
Speaker 1: have concluded that I feel like I'm missing out in
Speaker 1: a labeled society. Everyone has a label, or disability or
Speaker 1: a condition. I am choosing to become OCD. My first dilemma,
Speaker 1: JT says, is when I put on shoes and socks,
Speaker 1: must it be the right foot sock, then left, then
Speaker 1: left shoe followed by right shoe. I am so perplexed.
Speaker 1: So I'm seeking the advice and counsel of my favorite
Speaker 1: sports radio podcasters. Thanks for your helping this critical first
Speaker 1: world matter, your friend JT the Waingmen. Well, great question, So, Danny,
Speaker 1: any advice on how JT can be a proper OCD guy?
Speaker 3: Anything there? Now? I would say Ben I would lean
Speaker 3: on you for this because I feel like you're more
Speaker 3: OCD than I am.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm OCD is the right word. I am mechanical
Speaker 1: I am Is it more routine for you than creature
Speaker 1: of habit? Creature of habit? Okay, but when I put
Speaker 1: my shoes on, I don't. I probably do put them
Speaker 1: on the same way every time, but I don't notice it.
Speaker 1: It's not like I have to put the right shoe
Speaker 1: on or the left shoe first. It's not That's not
Speaker 1: something that I really worry about.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like the only thing where I'm a
Speaker 3: little OCD is the way I prepare for each day
Speaker 3: with like my backpacks and things I need for work.
Speaker 3: I'll set my things out in the same place. I
Speaker 3: make sure everything's in the same spot in my backpack,
Speaker 3: because you hate that feeling where something is not in
Speaker 3: the spot where it's supposed to be.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I'm OCD with my again, creature of habit,
Speaker 1: with my work, Like when I start getting ready for
Speaker 1: the show, like what I'm looking for, Like how the
Speaker 1: places I look for stuff to talk about that I
Speaker 1: think are interesting.
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, your template always is the same, it's the
Speaker 3: information and that changes exactly.
Speaker 1: The information is different every day, and which is good
Speaker 1: because I imagine what a nightmare like we've I've done local,
Speaker 1: you've done local radio. You're talking about the same thing, like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, it's so great.
Speaker 3: Oh that's it's the ad for a little while. I
Speaker 3: got to work for LA Sports, so did you, And
Speaker 3: even just concentrating on the LA teams was hard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it says. Some days there's not much going on,
Speaker 1: you know, there's not there's not too much happening, and
Speaker 1: so you're like, what are we, Like, what are we doing?
Speaker 1: Hank He says, he's on the Oregon Trail, He's in
Speaker 1: He's he's outside Portland. He says, hey, hey guys, you
Speaker 1: can now pay one million dollars to reserve a hotel stay.
Speaker 3: On the moon.
Speaker 1: He then sent a story here a tech startup is
Speaker 1: taking applications and fees up to one million dollars for
Speaker 1: those interested in being the first two vacation on the Danny.
Speaker 1: Does this not sound like one of the great scams
Speaker 1: of our time? Right? You're telling me within the next
Speaker 1: in your life, there's gonna be a hotel on the moon.
Speaker 1: This is bs right, There's no way like, what is anyone?
Speaker 3: Ben? My question is is it going to be a timeshare?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Exactly right. Yeah, that's that's insane. No, I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess the rich people are dumb, but come on, uh,
Speaker 1: Scott writes in from parts unknown, Scott, you got to
Speaker 1: put your name, dude. It's not that hard, okay.
Speaker 3: Ah my one eight hundred number now and I could
Speaker 3: get you out of any time share.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, even on the moon.
Speaker 3: Remember the name?
Speaker 1: Is this still around? Where you could name a star?
Speaker 1: That was another great you know?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah that's still around, is it really? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Maybe I named a star after you.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's wild. You know. How about this, Danny,
Speaker 1: I got a great idea. Here's a good hustle. All right,
Speaker 1: no one's listening, right, how about we do name a
Speaker 1: grain of sand. We're gonna name some sand in Maui
Speaker 1: after you right now. We'll get at your own little
Speaker 1: grain of sand right there.
Speaker 3: I have an idea. Let's start charging people for shout outs. Wait,
Speaker 3: wait a second, Oh how dare you?
Speaker 1: Scott?
Speaker 3: Scott cameo, how are you doing?
Speaker 1: I'm on there if you want, I'm on there. But
Speaker 1: I have a raised lition.
Speaker 3: You need to charge more. Ben charge more money quality
Speaker 3: over quantity.
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I should raise my price. In fact,
Speaker 1: I'll make a deal right now if you this is
Speaker 1: the last week today, Today is Sunday. So if you
Speaker 1: want a cameo at the same price it's at right now,
Speaker 1: you got to do it by Wednesday. Otherwise the price.
Speaker 3: Is going up. How about that I turn it here first.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, Scott, he says he Ben and
Speaker 1: Danny scientists are rethinking bamboo. They claim a powerful new
Speaker 1: super food. They say, bamboo shoots may. That's a weasel word, Scott,
Speaker 1: maybe far more than crunchy dish. A comprehensive review found
Speaker 1: they can help control blood sugar, support heart and gut health,
Speaker 1: and reduce inflammation. You know, Scott, you know what this means,
Speaker 1: Danny g This means we are going to get at
Speaker 1: fast food restaurants bamboo smoothies. We're gonna get those right,
Speaker 1: come on now, in the next couple of years. Because
Speaker 1: I'm convinced, and these conferences that these these quick service
Speaker 1: restaurants go to, they all it's all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: like chickens everywhere, right, chicken nuggets, chicken nuggies or whatever.
Speaker 1: Like certain foods. It's it's universal. They go to the
Speaker 1: same conferences, they get get pitched on these certain things.
Speaker 3: Right, Ben, let me give you my elevator pitch. All right,
Speaker 3: pasta a dry noodle in bags, make the noodles look
Speaker 3: like bamboo shoots, and then mix some of the bamboo
Speaker 3: in getting the health benefits, and we'll call it bamboozle noodle.
Speaker 1: I like it.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 1: Let's do it. How about Benny's babe. I'll put my
Speaker 1: name out.
Speaker 3: I think I just got kicked out of the elevator.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna remember this, Danny. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna file this one away, and I'm gonna see in
Speaker 1: the next couple of years do we get bamboo as
Speaker 1: a super food. And I'm gonna remember this email from Scott.
Speaker 1: Next up, I will do a couple more. The honorary
Speaker 1: mayor of Santa Fe, New Mexico, he does not say
Speaker 1: his name, says Ben and Danny, g did you see
Speaker 1: that Amazon is opening up a store to take down Walmart?
Speaker 1: A new big box Amazon stores opening up outside of Chicago,
Speaker 1: And he said, Orland Park. I think it's Oberland Park.
Speaker 1: I don't think Orland Park. I don't know. I've never
Speaker 1: heard oil over anyway. This is the honorable mayor, He says,
Speaker 1: who who you betting on? Between Amazon and Walmart? That's
Speaker 1: from the honorable mayor. I don't know. I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: the lean to Walmart. And here's why. That's all they have, right,
Speaker 1: Amazon does a little bit of everything. This is all
Speaker 1: Walmart has. This is it. They're the big box people.
Speaker 1: I know they have the online stuff, but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go Walmart. And it doesn't matter. Like Danny, if they
Speaker 1: opened up an Amazon big box store down the street,
Speaker 1: you'd go there. If it was cheaper than Walmart. Whoever's cheaper,
Speaker 1: you're gonna go to. Right, whatever better has better deals,
Speaker 1: you're going to go to. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And if they had better lighting, that would attract me too.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't care about.
Speaker 3: My wife said, everybody looks like a pale zombie inside Walmart.
Speaker 3: That lighting is so awkward.
Speaker 1: This is justin They are pale zombies. The people that
Speaker 1: shop at Walmart are pale zombies. With It's a proven fact.
Speaker 1: Whatever last one from this jackass didn't sign his name either.
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny. According to scientists. Apparently the microplastic stuff
Speaker 1: is bull he says the S word. I guess I
Speaker 1: can say it's podcast bullshit. He says, our bodies may
Speaker 1: not be riddled with microplastics. After all, scientists now say
Speaker 1: research is not biologically plausible and a joke. All right,
Speaker 1: So this this is what science does, Danny. There's a
Speaker 1: story that comes out that says coffee's gonna even be
Speaker 1: good for you. You don't drink a lot of coffee,
Speaker 1: and then there's a story to kill you. So who
Speaker 1: do you believe? Who do you believe? Danny? What are
Speaker 1: you gonna do? Who are gonna believe? Who knows? So
Speaker 1: I don't know what do you do with this? I'd
Speaker 1: like to think that my body's not filled with microplastics.
Speaker 1: I'd like to think that everything kind of gets out there.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't there be a way to check that with the
Speaker 1: people that have unfortunately met their demise and are gone
Speaker 1: and the bodies, you know, do you go back to
Speaker 1: the earth, as we like to say, and wouldn't there
Speaker 1: still be plastic in there? Because there's microplastics. You'll be
Speaker 1: able to find microplastics, right, I would think, I don't
Speaker 1: go I mean dark.
Speaker 3: Throughout our lives, we hear stories like this, they have
Speaker 3: found this inside this And does it really ever change anything?
Speaker 1: No, No, it does not. Although I am fascinated and
Speaker 1: I'd love to go, we should about how about this
Speaker 1: for a hustle, Danny. You know that thing out in
Speaker 1: the Pacific with the plastics circling around out there in
Speaker 1: the Pacific, the great whatever, I forget what's called. I
Speaker 1: know the name, but I'm having a mental block where
Speaker 1: it's like a vortex of plastic out in the Pacific
Speaker 1: that's just circling around and stuff.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: How about we take boat tours out there. We can
Speaker 1: take people out and say you can see the Great
Speaker 1: Plastic reef or whatever it's called.
Speaker 3: Talk about the garbage barge.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, yeah, I forget it has a name.
Speaker 3: The name of that?
Speaker 1: I am having a mental block. Guy, all right, Dan's
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna do the Is it ai or we
Speaker 1: have we moved on from Google? Are you now aieing
Speaker 1: it is that?
Speaker 3: I am? Yeah, I'm gon use Alexa go old school?
Speaker 1: All right, let me see it.
Speaker 3: Can I what is the name of the thing out
Speaker 3: in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with plastic floating
Speaker 3: on top of it. Yeah, great Pacific garbage patch. There
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the great Pacific garbage patch. Can take people out
Speaker 1: to visit that and take this crazy how many microplastics
Speaker 1: are on that thing? Yeah, that's why there's aren't there
Speaker 1: critters and creatures in the ocean living on that.
Speaker 3: That's nasty. That's where you know what ben for anybody
Speaker 3: who hurts a kid, they should put them out there
Speaker 3: on that patch and make them rot out there. Okay,
Speaker 3: your time should be served out on the patch.
Speaker 1: Right in the middle of the Pacific circling around. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you murder someone, you go to the patch.
Speaker 1: You're done. That's it. It'd be like back in the
Speaker 1: day they sent people to Australia. Do you think they
Speaker 1: the people of Europe realized that Australia is beautiful when
Speaker 1: they sent them there, or they thought there was so
Speaker 1: many like weird animals they would die, they would be
Speaker 1: killed by the weird animals in Australia.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm pretty sure they thought they would be eaten
Speaker 3: by rock.
Speaker 1: Yeah, surprise. All right, we'll get out on that. Danny.
Speaker 1: Enjoy the football today. It's good to have you back
Speaker 1: for Man, and we will see what happens today.
Speaker 3: You think you're Rams? Are you nervous about the Rams
Speaker 3: game at all into that weather.
Speaker 1: No, they're the better team. The better team should win.
Speaker 1: They should win the game. There's the choke factor by
Speaker 1: Stafford is pretty high. But I still believe the Rams
Speaker 1: will end up winning the game. It'll be ugly. I
Speaker 1: took the Bears plus the points. I think it'll be
Speaker 1: a field goal game. I don't trust Caleb Williams either.
Speaker 1: People must not have watched the first three quarters of
Speaker 1: that game last week Danny against the Packers, he didn't
Speaker 1: look very good at all, and then in the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter he went banana.
Speaker 3: So we'll see what They're very much a fourth quarter team,
Speaker 3: the same way you know the Bills were hoping they
Speaker 3: were a fourth quarter team.
Speaker 1: So who are you? Who are you today? Dany? Who
Speaker 1: do you a? You got the early game Houston and
Speaker 1: New England. I'm taking on Benny versus the Penny. I
Speaker 1: took the Texans.
Speaker 3: Who you got? Everybody's really high on the Texans defense.
Speaker 3: That's for good reason. But the one category they're lat
Speaker 3: their defense is dead last in stopping quarterbacks from running
Speaker 3: the ball. So if Drake may can pull the ball
Speaker 3: down when nothing's there and use his legs. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: think the Patriots eat this victory out.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm taking the I'm taking the Texans and then
Speaker 1: the Lake game, I'm taking the I'm taking the Bears
Speaker 1: plus the points Rams to win, Bears to Bears to
Speaker 1: cover the spread.
Speaker 3: What about you, Dandy, I took the Bears to cover.
Speaker 1: All right, have a great day, thank you. Will be
Speaker 1: back new podcast next week obviously, and of course we
Speaker 1: will have the radio show tonight.
Speaker 3: Dany'll be on tomorrow. Yes, Danny'll be on with the
Speaker 3: yea sure. We're going to do our usual schedule Monday
Speaker 3: through Friday. Stu Gotts is going to be right before
Speaker 3: us on Monday, by.
Speaker 1: The way, there you go. Good luck to him.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And it's two to four on the West Side,
Speaker 3: and that means in beautiful Chicago, Illinois, five to seven pm.
Speaker 1: There you go, enjoy.
Speaker 3: We're hopefully Ben's rams do not disappear into the winter. Eat.
Speaker 1: Oh no, they'll be fine. They'll be They got Sean McVay,
Speaker 1: Come on, who got a murder?
Speaker 3: I gotta go
