He treats 0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:15.800 crackheads in the ghetto Cutter the same as the rich 0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:20.200 pill poppers in the penthouse the Clearinghouse of Hot takes, 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:24.080 break free for something special.

It's like 0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:52.800 an old Beatles song, eight days a week, because clearly 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:55.680 five nights a week not enough. On the overnight show, 0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:57.520 and I get to hang out with my old pal 0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:01.360 Danny G here and yap happy yep, and answer questions. 0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:03.920 We're all about answering questions, Danny G.

I don't know, Please give 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.000 me the question. They want the questions, Danny G. They 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:18.240 want the email bag to be opened up, and so 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:20.680 we'll we'll get into it right now. That's not waste 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:32.520 any time. Here we go, Well, thanks to ohio Al 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.720 who sent that one in a long ago and he 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:38.679 knows it will get played every single week. It's gonna 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:42.080 get a lot of airplay. It gotta thinking before we 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:43.720 get into the mail bag. I know, I just played 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.319 the open, so we're supposed to do questions. But on 0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:49.680 yesterday's pod, on on the fifth hour Saturday edition, you 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:53.480 were telling the story about the awkward transition the kids 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:57.600 at the at the school you're at, and it reminded 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:03.360 me of the famous Casey case Of meltdown. We're Casey 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:06.200 did the top forty count that at the Premier Networks, 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:10.320 our building where we work out of, and I'm returning 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:15.000 and Casey had to do he had to do a 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:18.519 dying dog thing, right a dog and it was coming 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:22.359 out of an upbeat song and get a meltdown. It 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:26.320 was hilarious. His meltdown was because he's like, how the 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:29.440 funk am I supposed to read the sad letter that 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:33.840 upbeat record. I'm sick and tired. You know it's going 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:35.959 We had to play that right here, I can play 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.520 a little clip of Casey Cason on the podcast, right 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:42.040 we can squeeze that in. Yes, this may seem to 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:45.400 be a strange dedication request, but I'm quite sincere and 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:47.760 it will need a lot if you play it. Recently, 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.960 there was a death in our family. He was a 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.960 little dog named Schnuggles, but he was most certainly a 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.800 part of let's going to start again from coming out 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:57.600 of the record. You see when you come out of 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:01.280 those upsample numbers, manage impossible whim to make those transitions, 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.280 and then you got to go into somebody dying. Okay. 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:06.880 I wanted to concerted effort to come out of a 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.560 record that isn't a Campro record. Every time I do 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:15.760 a gift dedication, least time I want somebody use this range. 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.720 Did not come out of a game record. That is 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:20.840 uh that that's up Campro, and I gotta talk about 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:26.680 a dying Casey Cason almost killed him, famous story. We've 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:31.360 told it before. Well, I dodged him. But if I 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:35.280 had not had cat like reflexes Danny, I would have 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:38.640 no longer been doing the show, and I would have 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.640 become the butt of many jokes for taking out the 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:46.600 great Casey Cason, a beloved icon in broadcasting. But fortunately 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:48.360 I avoided that and he lived a few more years 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.119 after that, so it did not end up the way 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:54.160 it could have ended up. It was a middle a 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:56.080 day situation anyway, a R. Let's get it do here. 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:59.320 You've got mail. First one on the mailbag comes from 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:07.040 Pierre from Springfield. He says, Ben, with gas prices skyrocketing, 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:11.080 are you more likely to ditch the mallamobile and broadcast 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.840 from the north Woods permanently only traveling to places within 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:19.320 walking distance or park the mallamobile and carpool to the 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:26.159 FSR studios with Quaker Oates Fenley Uh, He says, well, Pierre, 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.919 you obviously did not hear the podcast yesterday before you 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.720 sent this, understand. But I will be going back part 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:36.880 of the time, and I am debating maybe I can walk. 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:38.760 How many hours would it take for me to walk 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:42.080 from the north Woods to the Fox Sports Radio studios, 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:45.760 which would have to walk over several hill ranges, ranges 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.840 of mountains to get there. I think it's four hours 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.600 after four days, so four days and four hours. Yeah, 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:56.000 it's not trigonometry. So I could do one show a 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.479 week and then that's all I would do. I just 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.040 like walk back home and then walk back to the studio. 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:06.560 That makes sense, right, wrong? Yeah, why not? Says second question. 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:11.520 When in Chicago, did you have an authentic Polish sausage 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:17.240 with extra relish? Uh? Well, Pierre, I did have the 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:21.960 the traditional fair in in Chicago, but did not have 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.599 the relish because I don't like see that was a 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:29.279 leading question. Danny Pierre in Springfield has this weird obsession 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:35.680 with pickles and obviously relish in the pickle family and 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:39.040 all that. So yeah, that that was a leading question. 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.720 Bye bye, Pierre. But are you a relish guy, Danny, 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:44.880 I'm not a relish guy. I'm not a relish guy. 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.600 I do like a couple of pickles on my turkey sandwich. 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.920 My chick is obsessed with pickles. She'll eat him out 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.520 of the jar, which I think is kind of gross 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.200 to just eat them by themselves. But I like him 0:05:57.200 --> 0:06:01.280 on a nice sandwich, though little taste. Yeah, I'm not 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:03.760 I'm not a pickle guy. In my relationship with pickles 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.520 starter when I was a little kid, my anti pickle position. Now, 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.960 I don't hate pickles. I like the smell of pickles, 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:10.880 Like I used to go to Deli's a lot, like 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.320 you know, Jewish deli when you're a kid growing up 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:15.800 and you're the smell of the pickles. But there are 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.120 different kinds of pickles. We've been in this. I've had 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:19.800 this conversation with where we talked about this. I think 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.080 with you, I talked about this different kinds of pickles 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.720 there are, and uh, yeah, it's more of a texture 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.679 thing for me. I don't like the texture of the pickles. 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.599 So that's why I'm anti pickle, much to the demand 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.960 dismay of Pierre, who sent famously a couple of years 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:38.800 back a giant gift basket filled with all kinds of 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:42.120 pickle propaganda. See, I agree with you on the texture thing. 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:45.440 That's why they need to be cut up and thinly sliced. 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:49.320 People that just bite into it like it's a huge carrot. 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:53.080 It grosses me out because of the texture. Yeah, it's 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:57.880 it's disgusting. You should not do that. That's inappropriate. Bad 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:03.720 job by whoever is doing come back, it's time from now. 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.919 Call Mike from Fullerton, He says, does the weekday show 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:13.320 podcast have a noticeable bump whenever someone is censored, Like 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:18.200 when Roberto said black pepper, but he didn't say black pepper, 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:20.760 he said a different word. Other than the second word. 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:22.560 He got the black part right, but he didn't get 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:27.160 the last part or when callers say fuck or ship. 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.480 He says, I know you would and you wouldn't encourage 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:34.280 callers to curse, but I was wondering if you laugh 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:39.440 all the way to the bank when it does happen. Well, 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:41.679 that's only been a few years where we've been allowed 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.440 to leave that in the podcast. For a while, the 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:47.040 company would not allow us to leave that stuff in 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.440 the podcast. It's no, no, you gotta and everything out, edited, 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.440 all the podcasts out. But fortunately they came to their 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:55.880 senses and realized it's the Internet. Man, it's the old West. 0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:58.920 There's no FCC guide on the Internet. You can do 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:00.880 whatever you want. You say ever, where do you want 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:03.560 on the Internet. No, you're exactly right. I used to 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:08.239 have to bleep out anything that was questionable on podcasts, 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:11.440 and about two years ago, I would say, they started 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:14.600 to let us just go for it with the podcasting. 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:18.480 So really, I mean, I don't know how listeners would 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:22.560 know that there unless you titled it the episode where 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:26.560 Ben Mallar accidentally set an F word. No, I think 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.040 I think I think Mike is like talking about the caller. 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.120 Should we get you know, doing the overnight show, we 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:34.000 get people, they are hammered. I mean, is he talking 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:37.319 about downloads or yeah? I think he's talking about downloads, 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.040 like we get a bump up. I don't know. I 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.440 guess if the word of mouth or something like that, 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.120 like oh man, I was listening to Mallard yesterday and 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:48.400 this guy said this and that, then maybe there might 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:51.880 be some extra downloads. That's an interesting question. Yeah, I 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.840 have to look into the data or data take that 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:58.440 for data? Whatever? Should we do that on this podcast? 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.760 Should we? Should? We? I know what thing? Week? We 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:05.560 had a tremendous weekend. Last week we've downloads, so thank 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:10.520 you to everybody that downloaded our podcast. What did we 0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:13.839 do that was so magical? That was so special last week? 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.720 Did we have extra fart sound effects? Is that what 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:20.760 we had? Yeah? I actually used fart one and fart 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:28.080 two mm four extra times. Really yeah? All right, well 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:32.839 that is it's great, alright, wonderful news. We're eleven year 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:39.040 old says that fart one sounds juicier? Is that right? Okay? Alright, no, she, 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.800 honest to God said that because I showed her the 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.800 two different fart effects and asked for her opinion on 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.480 which one I should use last weekend well, and and 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:49.840 when it comes to farting, there's no better than like 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:54.319 an eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifth year right in that wheelhouse. 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:59.079 It's like Nirvana for farts, is what it is. Some 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:02.680 shows have deo consultants who get paid tons of money. 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:06.680 We have an eleven year old who analyzes fart sound effects. Yeah, well, 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.240 good job by the eleven year what's it. What's your name? 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:15.200 What's Cloe? Chloe? Good job, Chloe, outstanding job by you. 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.960 You are unpaid, underappreciated, and you get a producing credit 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:21.880 on the podcast, and Danny will make sure that you 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.480 get an extra scoop of ice cream. I think, did 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:29.520 she like ice cream? Uh? Frozen yogurt? Oh, yogurt. I'm 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:31.600 a I'm a purist. I like the ice cream, but 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:36.160 teach the wrong part which rhymes with fart. Yeah, I 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:40.000 got you, I got you. Let's see, I got mail, Yeah, 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:46.880 I got mail. Yeah. So sweet Potato Bob rights in 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:52.760 from Cincinnati, Ohio. And every time I see the name 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:56.480 of Cincinnati, I think of a radio station that does 0:10:56.559 --> 0:11:00.960 not exist, that was based in Cincinnati, that everyone around 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.360 my age and Danny G's age used to watch when 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.719 we were kids and thought, someday we'll be on a 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:10.920 radio station just like that station in Cincinnati w kay 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:18.000 R P right, great station, a receptionist with big buzzoms yes. 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:22.480 And then we realized we got into night radio and 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:25.800 there is no one there other than occasionally the most 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.240 important employee at a radio station, the one that cleans 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:32.040 up occasionally shows up at the radio station because there's 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.400 a bunch of animals that work at the radio station, 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:36.600 so it's always nice when that person shows up to 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.719 clean up a little more, or a security guard with 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:43.040 trash bags filled with comic books. Now, one thing I 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.920 am excited about Danny is the fact that since I 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:50.720 occasionally will be going back to the hallowed hallways, the 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:54.640 mothership of Fox Sports Radio, that means I can start 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:56.800 playing some of the bits that I did in the past, 0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:01.960 Like every Sunday night I would come mean and the 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:05.400 bit I didn't use every Sunday. I'm exaggerating, but I 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:10.040 would go through the trash in the studio. What the 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.520 hosts on the weekend at Fox Sports Radio we're eating. 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:15.360 And so I haven't able to do that because I 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:16.959 haven't been there, but now I can do it. Now 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:20.680 I can do it. Entire segment about leftover food, And 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:24.520 it always fascinates me because if you're eating a turkey 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:28.880 sandwich and you eat seventy of the sandwich, why do 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.000 you have to throw it away in the studio? Why 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.880 not walk down the hall? Because what's gonna happen if 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:37.360 you leave rotting food in there on a Saturday morning 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.320 or a Saturday afternoon. By the time it gets picked 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:42.360 up on Monday morning? What are you thinks happening to 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:47.079 that food? That dogs licked that whole thing. They need 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.560 their mother to follow them around and clean up. So 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:52.200 sweet potato, Bob and sitsine. He says, I, I'm sorry, Bob, 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:56.719 I got sided. Ben. If you got lured away from 0:12:56.760 --> 0:13:00.880 the podcast into the Monday night football play by play 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:04.840 game Big Money uh and could pick your color man 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:12.480 Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Troy Aikman, Danny g or Gascon 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.560 and why all right? So I wouldn't take Peyton Manning 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:19.439 because Peyton annoys me. Cut that me. I wouldn't take 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:23.319 Tom Brady because I think he's gonna be terrible. I 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:26.360 wouldn't take Aikman, because I think he's pretty played out 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:30.680 at this point. I am a monkey fan. Gascon would 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:32.360 annoy me, so I guess I'd go with you day 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.959 by process of elimination, you, Danny g would be my 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:43.560 wingman in the broadcast booth calling Monday night football. I 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:45.960 won't be offended. You could say I'd be the color man. 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.040 You know, I think how much fun that would be. 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:52.800 What a great job Monday night football doing football if 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:54.480 you if that's your only game. Not a lot of 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.319 those guys have other things going on. They have to 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:58.839 call those sports. But if your only job is to 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:02.080 call twenty football games a year, give or take right, 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:05.160 a couple of exhibition games, and well not even twenties, 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:08.120 like seventeen regular season games, but it's it's built over 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:12.640 eighteen weeks. So let's say, but twenty games and that's it, 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:14.559 and the rest of the year. You got not to 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:16.400 worry about how great a gig is that. That's how 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.280 Michael's that's what he does now. Aw, Michael's right. I'd 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:22.240 want to be like Booger on the sideline though for you. 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:26.240 But a gmobile hooked up to a high pressured water 0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:29.800 hoose where I could where I could just knock back 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:35.080 fans at each stadium. Yeah. No, that the the Danny Gmobile. 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.240 You could be the I Candy like Booger was. You 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:40.280 can be the I Candy and and that's great. Why 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:45.000 not women? Yeah, now, sweet Potato Bob, since you brought 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:46.320 that up, you have to make that happen. You have 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:50.200 to make sure to make that happen. Glenn listener, Glenn 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:53.000 from Chicago City. I was just in a few weeks back. 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:56.120 He says, Hey, Ben, you mentioned on air that you 0:14:56.160 --> 0:15:00.000 had a run in with the Great One. When why 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:03.120 and what happened? Yeah, this is the thing that Roberto 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:08.320 hijacked and took out of context what I said and 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:11.280 twisted around to make me sound like a dirty person. 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:13.760 But I will tell the story. And so back in 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:16.840 my younger days as a radio reporter for the mighty 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:20.520 six nine in San Diego. But it was a border 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:25.600 blaster station and it had the l A market covered. 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:29.080 They were so powerful in l A. They had the 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:32.520 l A King's radio contract. The games were on this 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:37.360 station which was based in in Mexico, Baja Mexico. Who 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.560 the studios were in San Diego. But anyway, so I 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:45.800 was in l A. I was the reporter Wayne Gretzky 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:49.360 number gets traded. The Kings weren't very good. He gets 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:52.080 traded to the St. Louis Blue. I get a phone 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:56.280 call from the sports director at the Mighty s. Hey, 0:15:56.600 --> 0:16:00.120 Gretzky's on his way to St. Louis, but he's stopping 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:03.720 at a hotel near l a X and there's a 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:07.000 news conference. He's gonna say goodbye to Los Angeles before 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:09.720 he gets on a plane and joins the Blues wherever 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.800 they are. And the guy's like, listen, here's what I 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:14.720 want you to. I want you to go down there, 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:16.800 and I want you to wait till the thing's over, 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.280 and I want you to get Gretzky to call in 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:22.320 to the show because it was showing. I said, sure, 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.600 no problem, I'll go down there. What could possibly go wrong, 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.440 I'll I'm working for the station, the Kings are on 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:30.520 the station. I'll go down there. I'll get Wayne Gretzky. 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:33.440 So I go down Gretzky has given his bull crap 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:36.160 answers all the cliches. I loved l A. Sad to 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:39.040 leave all that stuff, blank my blank and blank you. 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.280 And so I'm waiting there off to the side and 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:46.040 Gretzky gets done. He's walking out and I'm like hey, 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:49.200 and he's surrounded by pr handlers, And as I remember 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:51.720 the story, I'm like, hey, Mr Gretzky, it's Ben. I 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:53.280 worked for the you know, the Mighty six nine in 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:54.840 San Diego. We'd like to get John for a couple 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:58.800 of minutes. And he looks at me, and he looks down, 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:02.040 and then he looks back at me, and he keeps 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:05.840 walking and just completely as I said on the air, 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:07.600 he uh, well, I'm not gonna say what I said 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:10.440 on here because I don't get hijacked again. He declined 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:14.040 my invitation. I might have used a different term that 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:22.000 involves blowing, but he declined my invitation to come on 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:25.920 the radio station. So that was my interaction. So you're 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:29.440 saying the great Wayne Gretzky blew you off. Well, I 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:31.840 think I did say exactly that. Actually I think I 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:35.879 said exactly that on the air, and that got twisted around, 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:40.840 especially in a parking lot near l a X. All 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:45.399 too good to be true. Yeah, that's that's what happened 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:47.600 with with Wayne Gretzky. I didn't interview him a number 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:50.240 of times. He's very nice, very kind man. And I 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:54.359 believe still lives in Thousand Oaks in that area in 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:57.320 southern California. Believe that's his home base, although he's now 0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:01.920 a broadcaster for Turner. Right, he's working for turn I 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:04.560 think he's working for turn Yeah. I saw him a 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:07.960 couple of months ago at lamp Post Pizza here. Really 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:10.000 he had a big bowl of rants right in the 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:14.439 middle of the table. Boom. He's one of your people. 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:19.639 Wayne Gretzky's eating lamp Post pizzas that actor, right, the 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:24.199 man of people, Wayne Gretzky, greatest of all time. Glenn 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:27.000 also says I heard that spin cycle Regina is available. 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.600 Can you please have her? Give me a hall. He 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:34.920 then gave his number here, I have Glenn in Chicago's number. 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:36.520 I do not believe we should give that out on 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:38.000 the podcast, So I will not give that out on 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:42.080 the podcast where the white women at It's a six 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:45.840 three oh number, and he says, it's your it's your 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:49.920 version of match dot com dot com. Well, I set 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:53.160 up Regina and Doc Mike and they had a falling out. 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:56.359 Regina said she called up. She says she's available, and 0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:59.800 so Glenn in Chicago that's not that far. You can 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:03.399 drive over to Minnesota to hang out with Regina. She 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:09.720 can visit Chicago for a weekend. Wrong, let's move on. 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:15.280 It is the mail bag. The mail bag that's right. 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:19.760 Next up is Barry in the Music City of Nashville, 0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:22.679 listening to the podcast. He says, Yo yo mob, Benny, 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:26.920 what is the backstory of how Andrea these sports sorceress 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:32.200 ever got to be such a fixture on your show? Yeah, 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:33.760 so I'll give you the story, Barry. Why not you 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:36.440 want to the story? Andreas started calling the show a 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:38.639 number of years ago, and the reason she has become 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:45.439 the person she is on the show is perseverance. That's it. 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:48.600 She's just kept calling and and she's been part of 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:51.640 the show, and she's had a lot to say and whatnot, 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:56.200 and she's just continually putting in the effort and she's 0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:58.840 willing to stay on hold for a while. She's very persistent, 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:03.320 and and that is why she keeps on trucking, and 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:07.359 so she's become a part of the showing. She's very polarizing, noime. 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:10.560 I've noticed there's some people that really enjoy what she does, 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:14.120 and there's other people that get very upset and send 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:17.600 me nasty messages. Why are you putting her on, which 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:20.240 I believe is a good thing, Danny. You don't want 0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:22.520 you want everyone to love you, and you don't want 0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:24.119 everyone to hate you. You You want to be somewhere in 0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:26.879 the middle. Yeah. I feel like she's somewhere in the middle. 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:30.800 She's the Derek Carr of your callers. Yeah, the middle 0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:32.800 of the bell curve. Right in the middle of the 0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:38.680 bell curve, for sure, for sure, polarizing. All right, next 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:41.240 up here, let me see now this. I did not 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:43.280 get a name. I did not shut down a name 0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:46.040 on this. Some of these people are on Facebook, Danny. 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:48.280 No matter how many times you say, put your name there, 0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:50.719 put your name there, they don't do it. So now 0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:53.800 I gotta go back and I gotta click this button, 0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:56.479 and then I got to click another button. But this 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:58.000 thing's not loading, and I'm gonna get the name, but 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:02.320 I'll read the the question first. Actually, here, it has 0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:05.159 just come up. As I am speaking with multitasking you 0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:07.640 listen to our live coverage of the fifth Hour podcast. 0:21:07.640 --> 0:21:12.000 We are add Living. We are now add Living on 0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:19.919 the podcast is where I sup? All right? This is 0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:24.080 from Brianna. Brianna writes in as she says from the 0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:29.080 Greatest Venue of Golf, Tulsa, Oklahoma, And she says, what 0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:32.800 is your favorite off strip casino in Vegas? Have you 0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:36.359 been to an aviator's game? Do you enjoy bowling and 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:41.159 arcades aside from gambling in Vegas? I? As far as 0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:43.679 off the strip, I mean, I've I've stayed at a 0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:45.720 few places off the strip. I don't none of them 0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:49.200 particularly stand out, although I do love Fremont Street, which 0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:51.920 is off the strip. To me, that's the more authentic 0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:56.640 Vegas and that doesn't necessarily involve gambling. But every time 0:21:56.640 --> 0:21:58.800 I go to Vegas, I try to make it a 0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:02.840 priority of mine to get to the Fremont Street experience, 0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:06.080 especially around midnight or one in the morning when the 0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:09.439 freaks come out and it's just it's Venice Beach. I 0:22:09.480 --> 0:22:11.119 was starting to a buddy of mine of radio about this. 0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:13.080 We were talking about how there are so many of 0:22:13.119 --> 0:22:17.680 these type of venues like Fremont Street, Venice Beach. New 0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:21.760 Orleans has their own version of that, Miami South Beach. 0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:29.160 I love you the Jersey Boardwalk to some degree, It's 0:22:29.160 --> 0:22:31.840 like this is the things sprinkled, all of them sprinkled 0:22:31.880 --> 0:22:33.520 all over the country that have that. You have these 0:22:33.560 --> 0:22:37.440 little spots, And for me, I love Fremont Street off 0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:41.679 any off the strip hotel other than Fremont Street, Danny 0:22:41.760 --> 0:22:44.600 that you figure. I say that the Orleans a few times. 0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:46.960 That's not on the strip, I mean, not a hotel. 0:22:47.160 --> 0:22:50.159 But I would say I have fond memories at that 0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:53.840 outlet that's almost out of business. Oh yeah, that's gone. 0:22:53.840 --> 0:22:57.280 Don't go there. It's so depressing. Oh my god. No, 0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:01.840 how far out of Vegas is that? Give it take 0:23:01.920 --> 0:23:04.440 like an hour maybe a little less than an hour 0:23:04.480 --> 0:23:07.159 out of Vegas right on. It's called in Prim Prim, Nevada, 0:23:07.240 --> 0:23:09.840 right on the border, last down in Nevada. I would 0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:14.000 go DJ at some clubs in Vegas and MC and 0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:15.919 we would make a lot of money. But then we 0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:18.960 would choose a bad time to drive back with the 0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:22.800 DJ crew. The bumper to bumper traffic was so bad 0:23:23.160 --> 0:23:25.040 that we would all just pull off and go to 0:23:25.080 --> 0:23:27.479 the outlet there and eat and walk around the shops 0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:31.920
