Speaker 1: Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of
Speaker 1: the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto Cutter the same as the rich
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse the Clearinghouse of Hot takes,
Speaker 1: break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben
Speaker 1: Maller starts right now in the air everywhere in a
Speaker 1: very good Sunday Sunday Sunday. Another addition of The Fifth
Speaker 1: Hour with Ben Maller and Danny g Radio back at
Speaker 1: the podcast Salt Mine eight days a week. It's like
Speaker 1: an old Beatles song, eight days a week, because clearly
Speaker 1: five nights a week not enough. On the overnight show,
Speaker 1: and I get to hang out with my old pal
Speaker 1: Danny G here and yap happy yep, and answer questions.
Speaker 1: We're all about answering questions, Danny G. Right, we're all
Speaker 1: about that action. No juice, that's right, no juice or
Speaker 1: do we have some juice? I don't know, Please give
Speaker 1: me the question. They want the questions, Danny G. They
Speaker 1: want the email bag to be opened up, and so
Speaker 1: we'll we'll get into it right now. That's not waste
Speaker 1: any time. Here we go, Well, thanks to ohio Al
Speaker 1: who sent that one in a long ago and he
Speaker 1: knows it will get played every single week. It's gonna
Speaker 1: get a lot of airplay. It gotta thinking before we
Speaker 1: get into the mail bag. I know, I just played
Speaker 1: the open, so we're supposed to do questions. But on
Speaker 1: yesterday's pod, on on the fifth hour Saturday edition, you
Speaker 1: were telling the story about the awkward transition the kids
Speaker 1: at the at the school you're at, and it reminded
Speaker 1: me of the famous Casey case Of meltdown. We're Casey
Speaker 1: did the top forty count that at the Premier Networks,
Speaker 1: our building where we work out of, and I'm returning
Speaker 1: and Casey had to do he had to do a
Speaker 1: dying dog thing, right a dog and it was coming
Speaker 1: out of an upbeat song and get a meltdown. It
Speaker 1: was hilarious. His meltdown was because he's like, how the
Speaker 1: funk am I supposed to read the sad letter that
Speaker 1: upbeat record. I'm sick and tired. You know it's going
Speaker 1: We had to play that right here, I can play
Speaker 1: a little clip of Casey Cason on the podcast, right
Speaker 1: we can squeeze that in. Yes, this may seem to
Speaker 1: be a strange dedication request, but I'm quite sincere and
Speaker 1: it will need a lot if you play it. Recently,
Speaker 1: there was a death in our family. He was a
Speaker 1: little dog named Schnuggles, but he was most certainly a
Speaker 1: part of let's going to start again from coming out
Speaker 1: of the record. You see when you come out of
Speaker 1: those upsample numbers, manage impossible whim to make those transitions,
Speaker 1: and then you got to go into somebody dying. Okay.
Speaker 1: I wanted to concerted effort to come out of a
Speaker 1: record that isn't a Campro record. Every time I do
Speaker 1: a gift dedication, least time I want somebody use this range.
Speaker 1: Did not come out of a game record. That is
Speaker 1: uh that that's up Campro, and I gotta talk about
Speaker 1: a dying Casey Cason almost killed him, famous story. We've
Speaker 1: told it before. Well, I dodged him. But if I
Speaker 1: had not had cat like reflexes Danny, I would have
Speaker 1: no longer been doing the show, and I would have
Speaker 1: become the butt of many jokes for taking out the
Speaker 1: great Casey Cason, a beloved icon in broadcasting. But fortunately
Speaker 1: I avoided that and he lived a few more years
Speaker 1: after that, so it did not end up the way
Speaker 1: it could have ended up. It was a middle a
Speaker 1: day situation anyway, a R. Let's get it do here.
Speaker 1: You've got mail. First one on the mailbag comes from
Speaker 1: Pierre from Springfield. He says, Ben, with gas prices skyrocketing,
Speaker 1: are you more likely to ditch the mallamobile and broadcast
Speaker 1: from the north Woods permanently only traveling to places within
Speaker 1: walking distance or park the mallamobile and carpool to the
Speaker 1: FSR studios with Quaker Oates Fenley Uh, He says, well, Pierre,
Speaker 1: you obviously did not hear the podcast yesterday before you
Speaker 1: sent this, understand. But I will be going back part
Speaker 1: of the time, and I am debating maybe I can walk.
Speaker 1: How many hours would it take for me to walk
Speaker 1: from the north Woods to the Fox Sports Radio studios,
Speaker 1: which would have to walk over several hill ranges, ranges
Speaker 1: of mountains to get there. I think it's four hours
Speaker 1: after four days, so four days and four hours. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not trigonometry. So I could do one show a
Speaker 1: week and then that's all I would do. I just
Speaker 1: like walk back home and then walk back to the studio.
Speaker 1: That makes sense, right, wrong? Yeah, why not? Says second question.
Speaker 1: When in Chicago, did you have an authentic Polish sausage
Speaker 1: with extra relish? Uh? Well, Pierre, I did have the
Speaker 1: the traditional fair in in Chicago, but did not have
Speaker 1: the relish because I don't like see that was a
Speaker 1: leading question. Danny Pierre in Springfield has this weird obsession
Speaker 1: with pickles and obviously relish in the pickle family and
Speaker 1: all that. So yeah, that that was a leading question.
Speaker 1: Bye bye, Pierre. But are you a relish guy, Danny,
Speaker 1: I'm not a relish guy. I'm not a relish guy.
Speaker 1: I do like a couple of pickles on my turkey sandwich.
Speaker 1: My chick is obsessed with pickles. She'll eat him out
Speaker 1: of the jar, which I think is kind of gross
Speaker 1: to just eat them by themselves. But I like him
Speaker 1: on a nice sandwich, though little taste. Yeah, I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not a pickle guy. In my relationship with pickles
Speaker 1: starter when I was a little kid, my anti pickle position. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't hate pickles. I like the smell of pickles,
Speaker 1: Like I used to go to Deli's a lot, like
Speaker 1: you know, Jewish deli when you're a kid growing up
Speaker 1: and you're the smell of the pickles. But there are
Speaker 1: different kinds of pickles. We've been in this. I've had
Speaker 1: this conversation with where we talked about this. I think
Speaker 1: with you, I talked about this different kinds of pickles
Speaker 1: there are, and uh, yeah, it's more of a texture
Speaker 1: thing for me. I don't like the texture of the pickles.
Speaker 1: So that's why I'm anti pickle, much to the demand
Speaker 1: dismay of Pierre, who sent famously a couple of years
Speaker 1: back a giant gift basket filled with all kinds of
Speaker 1: pickle propaganda. See, I agree with you on the texture thing.
Speaker 1: That's why they need to be cut up and thinly sliced.
Speaker 1: People that just bite into it like it's a huge carrot.
Speaker 1: It grosses me out because of the texture. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's disgusting. You should not do that. That's inappropriate. Bad
Speaker 1: job by whoever is doing come back, it's time from now.
Speaker 1: Call Mike from Fullerton, He says, does the weekday show
Speaker 1: podcast have a noticeable bump whenever someone is censored, Like
Speaker 1: when Roberto said black pepper, but he didn't say black pepper,
Speaker 1: he said a different word. Other than the second word.
Speaker 1: He got the black part right, but he didn't get
Speaker 1: the last part or when callers say fuck or ship.
Speaker 1: He says, I know you would and you wouldn't encourage
Speaker 1: callers to curse, but I was wondering if you laugh
Speaker 1: all the way to the bank when it does happen. Well,
Speaker 1: that's only been a few years where we've been allowed
Speaker 1: to leave that in the podcast. For a while, the
Speaker 1: company would not allow us to leave that stuff in
Speaker 1: the podcast. It's no, no, you gotta and everything out, edited,
Speaker 1: all the podcasts out. But fortunately they came to their
Speaker 1: senses and realized it's the Internet. Man, it's the old West.
Speaker 1: There's no FCC guide on the Internet. You can do
Speaker 1: whatever you want. You say ever, where do you want
Speaker 1: on the Internet. No, you're exactly right. I used to
Speaker 1: have to bleep out anything that was questionable on podcasts,
Speaker 1: and about two years ago, I would say, they started
Speaker 1: to let us just go for it with the podcasting.
Speaker 1: So really, I mean, I don't know how listeners would
Speaker 1: know that there unless you titled it the episode where
Speaker 1: Ben Mallar accidentally set an F word. No, I think
Speaker 1: I think I think Mike is like talking about the caller.
Speaker 1: Should we get you know, doing the overnight show, we
Speaker 1: get people, they are hammered. I mean, is he talking
Speaker 1: about downloads or yeah? I think he's talking about downloads,
Speaker 1: like we get a bump up. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: guess if the word of mouth or something like that,
Speaker 1: like oh man, I was listening to Mallard yesterday and
Speaker 1: this guy said this and that, then maybe there might
Speaker 1: be some extra downloads. That's an interesting question. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: have to look into the data or data take that
Speaker 1: for data? Whatever? Should we do that on this podcast?
Speaker 1: Should we? Should? We? I know what thing? Week? We
Speaker 1: had a tremendous weekend. Last week we've downloads, so thank
Speaker 1: you to everybody that downloaded our podcast. What did we
Speaker 1: do that was so magical? That was so special last week?
Speaker 1: Did we have extra fart sound effects? Is that what
Speaker 1: we had? Yeah? I actually used fart one and fart
Speaker 1: two mm four extra times. Really yeah? All right, well
Speaker 1: that is it's great, alright, wonderful news. We're eleven year
Speaker 1: old says that fart one sounds juicier? Is that right? Okay? Alright, no, she,
Speaker 1: honest to God said that because I showed her the
Speaker 1: two different fart effects and asked for her opinion on
Speaker 1: which one I should use last weekend well, and and
Speaker 1: when it comes to farting, there's no better than like
Speaker 1: an eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifth year right in that wheelhouse.
Speaker 1: It's like Nirvana for farts, is what it is. Some
Speaker 1: shows have deo consultants who get paid tons of money.
Speaker 1: We have an eleven year old who analyzes fart sound effects. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: good job by the eleven year what's it. What's your name?
Speaker 1: What's Cloe? Chloe? Good job, Chloe, outstanding job by you.
Speaker 1: You are unpaid, underappreciated, and you get a producing credit
Speaker 1: on the podcast, and Danny will make sure that you
Speaker 1: get an extra scoop of ice cream. I think, did
Speaker 1: she like ice cream? Uh? Frozen yogurt? Oh, yogurt. I'm
Speaker 1: a I'm a purist. I like the ice cream, but
Speaker 1: teach the wrong part which rhymes with fart. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: got you, I got you. Let's see, I got mail, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got mail. Yeah. So sweet Potato Bob rights in
Speaker 1: from Cincinnati, Ohio. And every time I see the name
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati, I think of a radio station that does
Speaker 1: not exist, that was based in Cincinnati, that everyone around
Speaker 1: my age and Danny G's age used to watch when
Speaker 1: we were kids and thought, someday we'll be on a
Speaker 1: radio station just like that station in Cincinnati w kay
Speaker 1: R P right, great station, a receptionist with big buzzoms yes.
Speaker 1: And then we realized we got into night radio and
Speaker 1: there is no one there other than occasionally the most
Speaker 1: important employee at a radio station, the one that cleans
Speaker 1: up occasionally shows up at the radio station because there's
Speaker 1: a bunch of animals that work at the radio station,
Speaker 1: so it's always nice when that person shows up to
Speaker 1: clean up a little more, or a security guard with
Speaker 1: trash bags filled with comic books. Now, one thing I
Speaker 1: am excited about Danny is the fact that since I
Speaker 1: occasionally will be going back to the hallowed hallways, the
Speaker 1: mothership of Fox Sports Radio, that means I can start
Speaker 1: playing some of the bits that I did in the past,
Speaker 1: Like every Sunday night I would come mean and the
Speaker 1: bit I didn't use every Sunday. I'm exaggerating, but I
Speaker 1: would go through the trash in the studio. What the
Speaker 1: hosts on the weekend at Fox Sports Radio we're eating.
Speaker 1: And so I haven't able to do that because I
Speaker 1: haven't been there, but now I can do it. Now
Speaker 1: I can do it. Entire segment about leftover food, And
Speaker 1: it always fascinates me because if you're eating a turkey
Speaker 1: sandwich and you eat seventy of the sandwich, why do
Speaker 1: you have to throw it away in the studio? Why
Speaker 1: not walk down the hall? Because what's gonna happen if
Speaker 1: you leave rotting food in there on a Saturday morning
Speaker 1: or a Saturday afternoon. By the time it gets picked
Speaker 1: up on Monday morning? What are you thinks happening to
Speaker 1: that food? That dogs licked that whole thing. They need
Speaker 1: their mother to follow them around and clean up. So
Speaker 1: sweet potato, Bob and sitsine. He says, I, I'm sorry, Bob,
Speaker 1: I got sided. Ben. If you got lured away from
Speaker 1: the podcast into the Monday night football play by play
Speaker 1: game Big Money uh and could pick your color man
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Troy Aikman, Danny g or Gascon
Speaker 1: and why all right? So I wouldn't take Peyton Manning
Speaker 1: because Peyton annoys me. Cut that me. I wouldn't take
Speaker 1: Tom Brady because I think he's gonna be terrible. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't take Aikman, because I think he's pretty played out
Speaker 1: at this point. I am a monkey fan. Gascon would
Speaker 1: annoy me, so I guess I'd go with you day
Speaker 1: by process of elimination, you, Danny g would be my
Speaker 1: wingman in the broadcast booth calling Monday night football. I
Speaker 1: won't be offended. You could say I'd be the color man.
Speaker 1: You know, I think how much fun that would be.
Speaker 1: What a great job Monday night football doing football if
Speaker 1: you if that's your only game. Not a lot of
Speaker 1: those guys have other things going on. They have to
Speaker 1: call those sports. But if your only job is to
Speaker 1: call twenty football games a year, give or take right,
Speaker 1: a couple of exhibition games, and well not even twenties,
Speaker 1: like seventeen regular season games, but it's it's built over
Speaker 1: eighteen weeks. So let's say, but twenty games and that's it,
Speaker 1: and the rest of the year. You got not to
Speaker 1: worry about how great a gig is that. That's how
Speaker 1: Michael's that's what he does now. Aw, Michael's right. I'd
Speaker 1: want to be like Booger on the sideline though for you.
Speaker 1: But a gmobile hooked up to a high pressured water
Speaker 1: hoose where I could where I could just knock back
Speaker 1: fans at each stadium. Yeah. No, that the the Danny Gmobile.
Speaker 1: You could be the I Candy like Booger was. You
Speaker 1: can be the I Candy and and that's great. Why
Speaker 1: not women? Yeah, now, sweet Potato Bob, since you brought
Speaker 1: that up, you have to make that happen. You have
Speaker 1: to make sure to make that happen. Glenn listener, Glenn
Speaker 1: from Chicago City. I was just in a few weeks back.
Speaker 1: He says, Hey, Ben, you mentioned on air that you
Speaker 1: had a run in with the Great One. When why
Speaker 1: and what happened? Yeah, this is the thing that Roberto
Speaker 1: hijacked and took out of context what I said and
Speaker 1: twisted around to make me sound like a dirty person.
Speaker 1: But I will tell the story. And so back in
Speaker 1: my younger days as a radio reporter for the mighty
Speaker 1: six nine in San Diego. But it was a border
Speaker 1: blaster station and it had the l A market covered.
Speaker 1: They were so powerful in l A. They had the
Speaker 1: l A King's radio contract. The games were on this
Speaker 1: station which was based in in Mexico, Baja Mexico. Who
Speaker 1: the studios were in San Diego. But anyway, so I
Speaker 1: was in l A. I was the reporter Wayne Gretzky
Speaker 1: number gets traded. The Kings weren't very good. He gets
Speaker 1: traded to the St. Louis Blue. I get a phone
Speaker 1: call from the sports director at the Mighty s. Hey,
Speaker 1: Gretzky's on his way to St. Louis, but he's stopping
Speaker 1: at a hotel near l a X and there's a
Speaker 1: news conference. He's gonna say goodbye to Los Angeles before
Speaker 1: he gets on a plane and joins the Blues wherever
Speaker 1: they are. And the guy's like, listen, here's what I
Speaker 1: want you to. I want you to go down there,
Speaker 1: and I want you to wait till the thing's over,
Speaker 1: and I want you to get Gretzky to call in
Speaker 1: to the show because it was showing. I said, sure,
Speaker 1: no problem, I'll go down there. What could possibly go wrong,
Speaker 1: I'll I'm working for the station, the Kings are on
Speaker 1: the station. I'll go down there. I'll get Wayne Gretzky.
Speaker 1: So I go down Gretzky has given his bull crap
Speaker 1: answers all the cliches. I loved l A. Sad to
Speaker 1: leave all that stuff, blank my blank and blank you.
Speaker 1: And so I'm waiting there off to the side and
Speaker 1: Gretzky gets done. He's walking out and I'm like hey,
Speaker 1: and he's surrounded by pr handlers, And as I remember
Speaker 1: the story, I'm like, hey, Mr Gretzky, it's Ben. I
Speaker 1: worked for the you know, the Mighty six nine in
Speaker 1: San Diego. We'd like to get John for a couple
Speaker 1: of minutes. And he looks at me, and he looks down,
Speaker 1: and then he looks back at me, and he keeps
Speaker 1: walking and just completely as I said on the air,
Speaker 1: he uh, well, I'm not gonna say what I said
Speaker 1: on here because I don't get hijacked again. He declined
Speaker 1: my invitation. I might have used a different term that
Speaker 1: involves blowing, but he declined my invitation to come on
Speaker 1: the radio station. So that was my interaction. So you're
Speaker 1: saying the great Wayne Gretzky blew you off. Well, I
Speaker 1: think I did say exactly that. Actually I think I
Speaker 1: said exactly that on the air, and that got twisted around,
Speaker 1: especially in a parking lot near l a X. All
Speaker 1: too good to be true. Yeah, that's that's what happened
Speaker 1: with with Wayne Gretzky. I didn't interview him a number
Speaker 1: of times. He's very nice, very kind man. And I
Speaker 1: believe still lives in Thousand Oaks in that area in
Speaker 1: southern California. Believe that's his home base, although he's now
Speaker 1: a broadcaster for Turner. Right, he's working for turn I
Speaker 1: think he's working for turn Yeah. I saw him a
Speaker 1: couple of months ago at lamp Post Pizza here. Really
Speaker 1: he had a big bowl of rants right in the
Speaker 1: middle of the table. Boom. He's one of your people.
Speaker 1: Wayne Gretzky's eating lamp Post pizzas that actor, right, the
Speaker 1: man of people, Wayne Gretzky, greatest of all time. Glenn
Speaker 1: also says I heard that spin cycle Regina is available.
Speaker 1: Can you please have her? Give me a hall. He
Speaker 1: then gave his number here, I have Glenn in Chicago's number.
Speaker 1: I do not believe we should give that out on
Speaker 1: the podcast, So I will not give that out on
Speaker 1: the podcast where the white women at It's a six
Speaker 1: three oh number, and he says, it's your it's your
Speaker 1: version of match dot com dot com. Well, I set
Speaker 1: up Regina and Doc Mike and they had a falling out.
Speaker 1: Regina said she called up. She says she's available, and
Speaker 1: so Glenn in Chicago that's not that far. You can
Speaker 1: drive over to Minnesota to hang out with Regina. She
Speaker 1: can visit Chicago for a weekend. Wrong, let's move on.
Speaker 1: It is the mail bag. The mail bag that's right.
Speaker 1: Next up is Barry in the Music City of Nashville,
Speaker 1: listening to the podcast. He says, Yo yo mob, Benny,
Speaker 1: what is the backstory of how Andrea these sports sorceress
Speaker 1: ever got to be such a fixture on your show? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I'll give you the story, Barry. Why not you
Speaker 1: want to the story? Andreas started calling the show a
Speaker 1: number of years ago, and the reason she has become
Speaker 1: the person she is on the show is perseverance. That's it.
Speaker 1: She's just kept calling and and she's been part of
Speaker 1: the show, and she's had a lot to say and whatnot,
Speaker 1: and she's just continually putting in the effort and she's
Speaker 1: willing to stay on hold for a while. She's very persistent,
Speaker 1: and and that is why she keeps on trucking, and
Speaker 1: so she's become a part of the showing. She's very polarizing, noime.
Speaker 1: I've noticed there's some people that really enjoy what she does,
Speaker 1: and there's other people that get very upset and send
Speaker 1: me nasty messages. Why are you putting her on, which
Speaker 1: I believe is a good thing, Danny. You don't want
Speaker 1: you want everyone to love you, and you don't want
Speaker 1: everyone to hate you. You You want to be somewhere in
Speaker 1: the middle. Yeah. I feel like she's somewhere in the middle.
Speaker 1: She's the Derek Carr of your callers. Yeah, the middle
Speaker 1: of the bell curve. Right in the middle of the
Speaker 1: bell curve, for sure, for sure, polarizing. All right, next
Speaker 1: up here, let me see now this. I did not
Speaker 1: get a name. I did not shut down a name
Speaker 1: on this. Some of these people are on Facebook, Danny.
Speaker 1: No matter how many times you say, put your name there,
Speaker 1: put your name there, they don't do it. So now
Speaker 1: I gotta go back and I gotta click this button,
Speaker 1: and then I got to click another button. But this
Speaker 1: thing's not loading, and I'm gonna get the name, but
Speaker 1: I'll read the the question first. Actually, here, it has
Speaker 1: just come up. As I am speaking with multitasking you
Speaker 1: listen to our live coverage of the fifth Hour podcast.
Speaker 1: We are add Living. We are now add Living on
Speaker 1: the podcast is where I sup? All right? This is
Speaker 1: from Brianna. Brianna writes in as she says from the
Speaker 1: Greatest Venue of Golf, Tulsa, Oklahoma, And she says, what
Speaker 1: is your favorite off strip casino in Vegas? Have you
Speaker 1: been to an aviator's game? Do you enjoy bowling and
Speaker 1: arcades aside from gambling in Vegas? I? As far as
Speaker 1: off the strip, I mean, I've I've stayed at a
Speaker 1: few places off the strip. I don't none of them
Speaker 1: particularly stand out, although I do love Fremont Street, which
Speaker 1: is off the strip. To me, that's the more authentic
Speaker 1: Vegas and that doesn't necessarily involve gambling. But every time
Speaker 1: I go to Vegas, I try to make it a
Speaker 1: priority of mine to get to the Fremont Street experience,
Speaker 1: especially around midnight or one in the morning when the
Speaker 1: freaks come out and it's just it's Venice Beach. I
Speaker 1: was starting to a buddy of mine of radio about this.
Speaker 1: We were talking about how there are so many of
Speaker 1: these type of venues like Fremont Street, Venice Beach. New
Speaker 1: Orleans has their own version of that, Miami South Beach.
Speaker 1: I love you the Jersey Boardwalk to some degree, It's
Speaker 1: like this is the things sprinkled, all of them sprinkled
Speaker 1: all over the country that have that. You have these
Speaker 1: little spots, And for me, I love Fremont Street off
Speaker 1: any off the strip hotel other than Fremont Street, Danny
Speaker 1: that you figure. I say that the Orleans a few times.
Speaker 1: That's not on the strip, I mean, not a hotel.
Speaker 1: But I would say I have fond memories at that
Speaker 1: outlet that's almost out of business. Oh yeah, that's gone.
Speaker 1: Don't go there. It's so depressing. Oh my god. No,
Speaker 1: how far out of Vegas is that? Give it take
Speaker 1: like an hour maybe a little less than an hour
Speaker 1: out of Vegas right on. It's called in Prim Prim, Nevada,
Speaker 1: right on the border, last down in Nevada. I would
Speaker 1: go DJ at some clubs in Vegas and MC and
Speaker 1: we would make a lot of money. But then we
Speaker 1: would choose a bad time to drive back with the
Speaker 1: DJ crew. The bumper to bumper traffic was so bad
Speaker 1: that we would all just pull off and go to
Speaker 1: the outlet there and eat and walk around the shops
Speaker 1: and kill time. But uh, COVID hit those outlets hard.
Speaker 1: Oh it's unreal. It was so depressing. I was like
Speaker 1: I felt like I was in a movie and It's
Speaker 1: a place that I had spent a lot of time because,
Speaker 1: like you going to Vegas a lot and commuting via
Speaker 1: car from l A. I always stopped and there was
Speaker 1: a store that was in there that I got a
Speaker 1: lot of my shirts from. Like they had really cheap,
Speaker 1: nice shirts, like dress shirts and stuff, so I would
Speaker 1: shop there. And they had tall size. On a tall guy,
Speaker 1: it's hard to get shirts that fit right. Why long?
Speaker 1: And I love that place in in Prim and I
Speaker 1: will probably never go there again unless I'm told it's
Speaker 1: opened up and it's back in business. And you think
Speaker 1: that somebody would want to buy that on the cheap.
Speaker 1: I saw that it was sold at auction for pennies
Speaker 1: on the dollar and it just dried up because the
Speaker 1: pandemic people weren't driving to Vegas. But now they're driving
Speaker 1: to Vegas. Yeah, so let's bring it back, baby. We
Speaker 1: could buy it on our salaries. Danny could live in Prim. Yeah,
Speaker 1: mount make it Mallerland. Well, that's a great idea for
Speaker 1: the name. I could do the Overnight Show from Nevada
Speaker 1: like Art Bell from Peromp, I'll do it from Prim,
Speaker 1: from the Kingdom of Prim. I love that Art Bell,
Speaker 1: the Kingdom of Nai because he lived in Ni County, Nevada.
Speaker 1: I love that. That's so funny. I've never been to
Speaker 1: an Aviators game. I have not the Triple A team
Speaker 1: there in Vegas. I remember when they were called the
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Stars back in the day. That team is
Speaker 1: not long for the world. Vegas is gonna get an
Speaker 1: NBA team and a baseball team within the next five, five,
Speaker 1: ten years. I would from what I've heard, Matt writes
Speaker 1: in az the mail bag rules, You've got mail Matt
Speaker 1: from Dallas Fort Worth says you've suffered a few losses,
Speaker 1: and he says, and then mallar militia this past year. Wait,
Speaker 1: maybe we Uh, what are your plans to reverse the trend?
Speaker 1: Says Man. So is Matt blaming us for the listeners
Speaker 1: that have met there their end at the pearly gates?
Speaker 1: Are we responsible for that? I mean we just do
Speaker 1: a goofy, you know, radio shop. Sounds like your monologues
Speaker 1: drive people to drink. Yeah, yeah, I'm a good companion.
Speaker 1: I've been told over the years, it's go to liquor store,
Speaker 1: buy some whiskey, come back and listen to Mallard. Hello Joe, Hi,
Speaker 1: I like to Saint. That's that's how that goes. Ben
Speaker 1: Mallard the best drug paraphernalia on the radio, smoke weed. Well,
Speaker 1: we did have that guy in the Bay Area that
Speaker 1: was going to name a strand of weed after each
Speaker 1: of us on the show. But I don't happen with
Speaker 1: that guy. Yeah, man, it's it's a it's part of
Speaker 1: the overnight radio experience. I don't know how else to
Speaker 1: say it. What are you smoking? I got some Benny Blizzard. Yeah,
Speaker 1: stop a cigarette and night landed in my hoodie and
Speaker 1: I can't it's my beautiful white fuzzy hoodie. Terry and
Speaker 1: England rights in is the mail bag? I got mail? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got mad. Terry says it must be time for
Speaker 1: an England meet and greet. Surely been well, Terry. I
Speaker 1: will make a promise you. At some point my wife
Speaker 1: will drag my ass to your neck of the woods
Speaker 1: in England. And so when that happens, I'm guessing that
Speaker 1: will probably hit the big cities, the big tourist areas
Speaker 1: where Americans visit your country. And so when that happens
Speaker 1: to you're gonna have to meet me something. We'll make
Speaker 1: that happen we'll hang out. And Terry is a man
Speaker 1: of mystery. We don't know what Terry looks like. He
Speaker 1: has his avatar is like a generic forty Niner guy,
Speaker 1: so we don't really know. It'll be a great mystery.
Speaker 1: But I would like to meet you and who exactly.
Speaker 1: But the other problem too is, as we pointed out
Speaker 1: with the Appleton, Wisconsin meet and greet, these meet and greets,
Speaker 1: unless it's geographically desirable and right in your back yard,
Speaker 1: people don't like to go out of the way. And
Speaker 1: I understand that. I understand people don't like to do that.
Speaker 1: But I learned that lesson in Appleton, Wisconsin. And we
Speaker 1: had a bunch of, you know, good turnout from people
Speaker 1: from Green Bay and Appleton and whatnot, but we had
Speaker 1: people that said from Minnesota, they're gonna drive over. Not
Speaker 1: a single one. Not that I'm bitter, Danny, and I
Speaker 1: bring that up every single time I bring up the
Speaker 1: Appleton meet and greed. I just wanted, I just wanted to,
Speaker 1: you know, pass that on. Patricia in Vegas says, when
Speaker 1: you do the third degree says, she says, do you
Speaker 1: have the questions in amaze? It seems like your answers
Speaker 1: are ready, it's not. If not, then you are quick
Speaker 1: on your feet with the answers. Well, this would fall
Speaker 1: into the category, Patricia, we're never supposed to let people
Speaker 1: know how we make the hot dogs. Ef earf right, Danny,
Speaker 1: there's a bit of mystery that is around the radio show,
Speaker 1: the moving parts of the radio show. Who does what?
Speaker 1: Who's responsible for what? Dumber for having listened to it? Hi,
Speaker 1: I Q. Then some of the mystery has taken out, Yeah,
Speaker 1: some of that. But I have a general idea. How
Speaker 1: about that? A general idea of what what my might
Speaker 1: be out there? Does that answer your question? Patricia in
Speaker 1: ves she used to listen in the Northeast, and then
Speaker 1: she moved out to Vegas, living her greatest life. All right,
Speaker 1: come back at it's time from that, I'll call all right.
Speaker 1: Next up, Cliff from Nashville rights and he says, man,
Speaker 1: it was announced this week that Raising Canes is coming
Speaker 1: to Tennessee. But it's in Cooksville. What the f is
Speaker 1: it worth? An hour and a half dry? Now? Cliff
Speaker 1: points out that he has bow Jangles a half a
Speaker 1: beer drive from the house. So the way I will
Speaker 1: answer this, Cliff is Raising Caynes is a wonderful chicken
Speaker 1: finger place. To me, it's the top chicken figure restaurant.
Speaker 1: I might go there one time, but then you're gonna
Speaker 1: fall in love with it, and then you're gonna want
Speaker 1: to go more, and then that becomes a problem. I
Speaker 1: would wait because I've looked at the Raising Canes website.
Speaker 1: They are expanding all over the place. So if they're
Speaker 1: an hour and a half away, I would bet within
Speaker 1: a couple of years they'll be right in your neighborhood.
Speaker 1: They'll have a Raising Canes in in Nashville. You're saying,
Speaker 1: don't even try it yet because it'll be like a
Speaker 1: greasy mistress. Yeah, and then you're gonna be okay. Ever,
Speaker 1: you Saturday, I gotta make an hour and a half dry,
Speaker 1: which is three hours round trip. I think of it mantrip.
Speaker 1: Where are you going, honey, I'm going to the library. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm going to the chicken finger library. Yes, I am
Speaker 1: going to send I'm gonna run some errands. Yes, some
Speaker 1: three hours of my life I will spend to buy
Speaker 1: chicken fingers with the cane sauce. That's that's gonna be
Speaker 1: my move there, Bane Wowser's uh yeah, but bojenos, A
Speaker 1: good bonenko is a solid there's more on the menu.
Speaker 1: I will tell you that all you get at Raising
Speaker 1: Canes is the chicken finger. Even their sandwiches just chicken
Speaker 1: fingers side by side. That's all it is. It's not
Speaker 1: a chicken breast, not a chicken patty at all. It's
Speaker 1: just the same old deal. So that's that is that alright.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna change gears here. And I mentioned on
Speaker 1: the radio show Danny, we do not we did not
Speaker 1: talk about the tragedy that took place in you all
Speaker 1: the Texas this week, the shooting at the school. And
Speaker 1: I got an email from a guy that you probably
Speaker 1: know the person's name about this, and I was debating
Speaker 1: whether or not to read it, I said, or not
Speaker 1: to do it on the radio show. I thought I
Speaker 1: would save it for for the hardcore p ones that
Speaker 1: are part of the podcast Danny, because it's just I
Speaker 1: feel like it's a it's a better form here to
Speaker 1: do that than do it on the radio show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And we did talk about it a little bit on
Speaker 1: Saturday's podcast. Yeah. So I saw this name and if
Speaker 1: you listen to the lame joke segment that we do
Speaker 1: every Friday. This has been one of our more consistent joke. Right,
Speaker 1: it's pretty funny. Guy. I always like this guy because
Speaker 1: he always sends Laker jokes, A lot of Laker jokes.
Speaker 1: Anybody on the Clippers is a half of what Kobe
Speaker 1: Bryant is. I think he does that because he knows
Speaker 1: that I'll read them, and he likes that. And he's
Speaker 1: also is a San Antonio so I guess he's a experson.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read the email, he says, an open letter.
Speaker 1: He headlined this an open message to the Mallard militia.
Speaker 1: So that's the headline on this open message to the
Speaker 1: Malam militia. So I'm gonna read it, and I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna add anything. I'll just read it verbatim here and
Speaker 1: then we'll react to it in a bit. Says greetings.
Speaker 1: Usually when I email this account, it is to send
Speaker 1: a lame joke, some of which are read, some are skipped.
Speaker 1: I used to handle George from San Antonio because I
Speaker 1: lived there for fifteen years before moving to you'vald to
Speaker 1: become a teacher. And he sent this the day after
Speaker 1: the He says, before yesterday, who had ever heard of you?
Speaker 1: That all changed this week when a deranged lunatic committed
Speaker 1: a horrific act. I am writing to ask for the thoughts, prayers,
Speaker 1: and support of the Mallard Militia as we start the
Speaker 1: recovery process. We are a small, tightly knit familiar what's
Speaker 1: the word here, uh, familiar is that the world I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: community that has devastated had been devastated obviously by by
Speaker 1: the shooting at rob Elementary. My students lost brothers, sisters, cousins,
Speaker 1: friends and neighbors. This will be a long process, but
Speaker 1: I am heartened by the fact that I have this
Speaker 1: show to bolster my spirits when I will have to
Speaker 1: find a way to be as strong as my students
Speaker 1: when they need me need me to be says. That's
Speaker 1: from George from Uvaldi, and he is a math teacher
Speaker 1: at a school just down the street from the elementary school,
Speaker 1: and as he said in the email that you know,
Speaker 1: it's a small, smaller town and his his students had
Speaker 1: younger brothers, sisters, cousins, friends of their neighbors in the
Speaker 1: neighborhood that went to that elementary school. And so that's
Speaker 1: that's George from Uvaldi who sent in and George obviously
Speaker 1: have the the full support of me and Danny g
Speaker 1: I'm sure and all of us. And even though we
Speaker 1: didn't get into it on the show for reasons we
Speaker 1: talked about on Saturday, trust me, like everyone else, I've
Speaker 1: been following the story and been pretty pretty depressed. It's
Speaker 1: been it's been one of those deals where you know,
Speaker 1: we try to put on a happy face, right, Danny,
Speaker 1: like the show must go on that kind of anyway,
Speaker 1: You're kind of like, this is I'm breaking down some
Speaker 1: NFL story and it's really just really necessary. But but
Speaker 1: to hang in there, George, No, it made it hard
Speaker 1: to work for everybody on Tuesday. Just make the sick
Speaker 1: to your stomach, and how do you focus on some
Speaker 1: other things that aren't important as human life and you
Speaker 1: know you've got to keep moving on. It's it's tough though,
Speaker 1: especially for those connected to it, and like I said
Speaker 1: on Saturday's podcast, for anybody that works with students, works
Speaker 1: in a school or on a campus. Uh, there's questions
Speaker 1: that need to be answered. Asshole got onto the campus,
Speaker 1: you know, I know a lot of campuses have an
Speaker 1: actual police officer now posted inside a lot of locked
Speaker 1: doors that you have to get through. Yeah, and it's
Speaker 1: it's a fine line because you don't want to make
Speaker 1: a school of police state. You want kids to be kids.
Speaker 1: You don't want them to go in and have to
Speaker 1: go through some barbed wires. And I agree with you,
Speaker 1: it shouldn't be like walking into a prison. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, in this world we live in nowadays,
Speaker 1: I mean, it kind of does have to be a
Speaker 1: little bit fort box on the outside of each school.
Speaker 1: I would think, yeah, at least to tour crazy people
Speaker 1: from even thinking about doing something to kids. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's one of these things, and everyone's got
Speaker 1: a different opinion on how to solve it. Nobody has
Speaker 1: the answer. But in my experience, a lot of people
Speaker 1: are trying to politician. You gotta write laws for this,
Speaker 1: But I've always thought that the people that do this
Speaker 1: bad stuff don't follow the law. So what's you know,
Speaker 1: not that you shouldn't have laws, but the people that
Speaker 1: commit these acts, they're not following the law. So does
Speaker 1: that make people feel better that you put more laws
Speaker 1: in there? You know, I think you gotta you gotta
Speaker 1: try to figure it out. And I go back to
Speaker 1: the mental health and the the institutions they used to have.
Speaker 1: They and I think it was Ronald Reagan, who I
Speaker 1: like as a president, but in his administration they got
Speaker 1: rid of if I if I'm not mistaken, they got
Speaker 1: rid of the mental hospitals. Are cut back that a lot,
Speaker 1: and you know, here we are years later, and I
Speaker 1: think that's part of the a big part of the
Speaker 1: issue here. So yeah, no, I think a lot of
Speaker 1: people would agree with you. All Right, Well, good luck, George.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, man, and our thoughts are with you. Talk
Speaker 1: about a small world. I've heard his jokes on your show.
Speaker 1: I would have never thought that he was a math
Speaker 1: teacher in that town. Yeah. When I got that email,
Speaker 1: because I was putting the jokes together and I got
Speaker 1: as I wait a minute, I clicked on because I
Speaker 1: saw George's name, like, well, George must have sent some jokes,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, no, this is not this is
Speaker 1: this is a serious thing. So anyway, it's just terrible
Speaker 1: and I appreciate that email absolutely. All right, we'll get
Speaker 1: back to the regular shenanigans here. Yes, Fred from Spring
Speaker 1: Texas says, have either of you watched a cricket match?
Speaker 1: Did you understand the game. Well, you'll be happy to know.
Speaker 1: Not only have I watched the cricket match, I've been preempted.
Speaker 1: I used to have a weekly radio bit in New
Speaker 1: Zealand on their sports network, which went out of business
Speaker 1: when the pandemic started. But I would go on there
Speaker 1: every week and occasionally I would be told, hey, you
Speaker 1: can't come on today because there's a cricket match and
Speaker 1: we don't know when it's gonna said, well, come on,
Speaker 1: what's gonna three hours? Four hours? No, it might be
Speaker 1: three days, it might be seven days. Yeah, so I
Speaker 1: have I have witnessed the sport of cricket. What about you,
Speaker 1: Danny G? Have you ever watched the cricket match late
Speaker 1: at night or on the internet somewhere. I've seen it
Speaker 1: on TV late at night. I don't understand it. So
Speaker 1: I only watched for a couple of minutes. Definitely something
Speaker 1: that we did not grow up with at all. And
Speaker 1: so yeah, it would be interesting to maybe take like
Speaker 1: a half hour class a good instructor, an entertaining instructor
Speaker 1: explaining the game. I'd be down for that. And I
Speaker 1: like more than than cricket is Ozzy rules football tonight, Mike.
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. I watched that actually got into that
Speaker 1: a little bit because of some of the fans we
Speaker 1: have in Australia that sent me some propaganda on this
Speaker 1: podcast about Ozzy rules football, and I thought it was
Speaker 1: pretty pretty neat watching some of the games and the
Speaker 1: different weird rules they have and how crazy everyone is.
Speaker 1: Come back, It's sign from Cale. Do a couple more.
Speaker 1: Bobby from Dallas says favorite breakfast spot in Vegas. Well,
Speaker 1: this one's easy for me, and I think you'll probably
Speaker 1: agree with me Danny on this, but maybe not my
Speaker 1: go to. And I'm not a big breakfast guy. I
Speaker 1: my wife loves breakfast, so she'll drag me to breakfast.
Speaker 1: I'm more of a lunch dinner guy. But when I
Speaker 1: eat breakfast in Vegas, Hash House and Go Go, that's
Speaker 1: the spot for me. Is the spot. There's several locations
Speaker 1: in Vegas and they give you pancakes, and I don't
Speaker 1: want I don't want to embellish how big the pancakes are,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna keep this conservative. They're the size of
Speaker 1: the moon. Gratty bait taste like bo The pancakes are
Speaker 1: the size of the moon, and they stack them up
Speaker 1: and everything is jumbo jumbo sized that hash house and
Speaker 1: go go, so make sure that you are very hungry.
Speaker 1: You're a hungry hungry hippo when you go there. Any
Speaker 1: other breakfast spots stand out there in Vegas, Danny, I
Speaker 1: do have one for you, the Black Bear Diner. Okay,
Speaker 1: you've seen those in lots of different cities. I don't
Speaker 1: know if they have them on the East Coast. I'll
Speaker 1: have to look into that, but there is one near
Speaker 1: the new Allegiance Stadium, and Pete Rose goes there every
Speaker 1: week like clockwork. He goes to the Black Bear Diner
Speaker 1: near Allegiance Stadium. Lots of Raider fans have run into
Speaker 1: him and taking pictures with him. So if you want
Speaker 1: a good meal and you get to meet old Pete,
Speaker 1: who we've been efforting to get on this podcast, yes,
Speaker 1: that's the spot to go right there. So we should
Speaker 1: just bring a recorder and go to the diner and
Speaker 1: we can then have Pete man Foe drizzle our last
Speaker 1: one from Paul in Great Falls, Montana. He says, hey
Speaker 1: is a sporting question. Does the Pack twelve have a
Speaker 1: puncher's chance of making the college football play? I say yes,
Speaker 1: I say yes. There's a new sheriff in town, Lincoln
Speaker 1: Riley at USC. And if he's as good as advertised,
Speaker 1: now I have my doubts because it's not like he
Speaker 1: built Oklahoma into what Oklahoma was. He inherited a wonderful
Speaker 1: program from Bob Stoops and kept the ship sailing. But
Speaker 1: all my friends that are USC boosters and the people
Speaker 1: that I know around USC are so excited about Lincoln Riley.
Speaker 1: They're like, oh my god, I think we were talking
Speaker 1: about I might have to go back to the USC
Speaker 1: games because they'll be cool again at the Coliseum there
Speaker 1: with Lincoln Ridy. But that's the one. Other than that,
Speaker 1: Oregon will have a good team again. They'll be in
Speaker 1: the mix. The problem is, yeah, the Pack twelve. There's
Speaker 1: so many mediocre teams in the Pack twelve that I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna it's gonna hurt the big picture. Maybe
Speaker 1: you run the table. If USC runs the table or
Speaker 1: Oregon runs the table or loses only one game and
Speaker 1: has an amazing, amazing season, and I say they will
Speaker 1: get in, I'm going, Yes, I'm being Benny Brightside on
Speaker 1: this one. That's what I am. Then I'm Benny bright
Speaker 1: said in this one so as the kids say, l
Speaker 1: f G the best players that NI L money can
Speaker 1: buy baby, Yes, get the businesses, all the big boosters.
Speaker 1: Right those checks, those oversized checks, and make sure they
Speaker 1: don't bounce, and you'll be good to go. All we
Speaker 1: gotta get out of here, Danny. Anything to promote now,
Speaker 1: I'm on Cameo. If you want a Cameo message, you
Speaker 1: can do that. And I will be returning to the
Speaker 1: Fox Sports radio studios this week a few days, a
Speaker 1: few days every week I will be in the studio
Speaker 1: and it could change every week. Some days will be
Speaker 1: one day, another next week the next, so who knows.
Speaker 1: And it is also around this podcast, which is done
Speaker 1: from the north Woods. Have you decided if you're gonna
Speaker 1: come in studio tonight when I'm there, I have not
Speaker 1: decided as a game time decision. That is a game
Speaker 1: time decision. But I'm sure I will run into you, Danny.
Speaker 1: I will be in there on the Sunday night in
Speaker 1: the Monday morning at some point. But again I saw
Speaker 1: I'll be starting that on Cameo as well. Cameo is
Speaker 1: a website. You want a video message, a birthday bar
Speaker 1: Mitzvah's weddings, funerals, you name it, Heltho. I've not really
Speaker 1: done any funerals in order. I really want to. But
Speaker 1: I am on there for this personalized Ben Mallard video.
Speaker 1: I'm married, my wife, lets to dress up? She all right?
Speaker 1: Talking right to you and a loved one. Yes, I
Speaker 1: will do a eulogy for you if you want. All right, anyway,
Speaker 1: what do you have, Danny drummote? What's going on in
Speaker 1: your world? You're in the radio station all day? Yeah,

Speaker 1: faster than when Arnie got into the hot tub, You're
Speaker 1: gonna have to retell that hot tub story sometimes. I'll
Speaker 1: have to do that sometimes. But my man, Arnie, hang on,
Speaker 1: I'm making a note of that. When and Arnie hot
