Speaker 1: Kubbooms.
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 fastion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter 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 eywhere the Fifth Hour with me, Ben
Speaker 1: Mahler and Danny g Radio. And welcome to December, the
Speaker 1: first day of the final month of the year, and
Speaker 1: we are back at it again, slaving away over the
Speaker 1: red hot microphone with the on air light above us
Speaker 1: on an NFL Sunday've already been four games played in
Speaker 1: the NFL. But this is your unofficial early early pregame
Speaker 1: show without Terry Bradshaw, without a lot of just canned
Speaker 1: laughter and all that and my rams play out or
Speaker 1: not a big game they play the Saints Raiders obviously
Speaker 1: played back on on Friday. The biggest game by far today,
Speaker 1: not even close, is the Eagles and Ravens game. Right
Speaker 1: there's nothing really even close to that on the card today.
Speaker 1: That's I know Sunday Night uses the biggest game forty
Speaker 1: nine ers in Bills, But the Eagles Ravens game, that's
Speaker 1: where it's at. That is the game day.
Speaker 3: The weather, the elements should be fun to watch for
Speaker 3: Sunday Night football because they're expecting sleet and snow and
Speaker 3: thirty mile per hour wins.
Speaker 1: Yes, snow globe game. It's supposed to be a snow
Speaker 1: glow in Buffalo, which is always kind of kind of cool.
Speaker 1: I guess Brock Purdy, if I read correctly, this week,
Speaker 1: he's gonna play who knows if he's gonna finish the game.
Speaker 1: So there's some debate about that, his health and all that,
Speaker 1: but there should be some snow there. And as far
Speaker 1: as the other try to look around here. There's a
Speaker 1: slight chance of snow for the Washington Tennessee game and
Speaker 1: the DMV it's gonna be maybe in the second half,
Speaker 1: some snow for that game today. Slight chance of snow
Speaker 1: in Baltimore for the Eagles and Ravens. But yeah, the
Speaker 1: big one if you want to see a snow game
Speaker 1: Buffalo and San Francisco, that's the big snow game today
Speaker 1: on the NFL car so we have the mail bag.
Speaker 1: But before we get to the mail bag, I teased
Speaker 1: this yesterday the word of the.
Speaker 3: Week, the word of the week, So.
Speaker 1: We're in the week, this weekend, this first day of
Speaker 1: December is gremlin. Kremlin. Now, you know in the movie
Speaker 1: Gremlin's Danny. We're around the same age, and that was
Speaker 1: a big movie in our youth, right, Gremlins, And of
Speaker 1: course that's.
Speaker 3: What I always think about when we're annihilating wings at
Speaker 3: Buffalo Wild Wings.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was. When I have to do the show
Speaker 1: from the home studio and things get attacked, I think
Speaker 1: of the Gremlins. So a gremlin, believe it or not,
Speaker 1: a mythical creature in the upper air who causes damage
Speaker 1: to airplanes. And the term not that old. The term
Speaker 1: it first appeared in the Royal Air Force. It's the
Speaker 1: UK Air Force. It was Royal Air Force slang during
Speaker 1: the interwar years of the nineteen twenties. Now there are
Speaker 1: claims that gremlin was in use during the First World War,
Speaker 1: and while the people that study the history of words
Speaker 1: say that's plausible, there is no evidence it, meaning it
Speaker 1: wasn't written down somewhere earlier. Now, the origin of the
Speaker 1: term is actually unknown, But what is known is that
Speaker 1: gremlin as first recorded, originally had a much different meaning.
Speaker 1: That is, a a low ranking commissioned or non commissioned
Speaker 1: Air Force officer. So you were called a gremlin if
Speaker 1: you were a low ranking you know, a person in
Speaker 1: the military, the Air Force in the UK, one who
Speaker 1: performed the routine duties that were beneath the dignity of
Speaker 1: the brass. So you were a low level hoi poloid
Speaker 1: type person. And they say it was first used in
Speaker 1: a poem. The first time I was written down. There
Speaker 1: was a poem that appeared in April of nineteen twenty
Speaker 1: nine in an issue of the journal Aeroplane, and that
Speaker 1: was the first use of the term gremlin. So originally
Speaker 1: gremlin meant some low level person in the Royal Air Force,
Speaker 1: and for us now it means a little creature, a
Speaker 1: little weird creature thing. So all right, let's get to
Speaker 1: the mail bag. What do you say you ready for
Speaker 1: the mailbag? Let's go, hio.
Speaker 3: Al it's.
Speaker 1: Mail bag, all right. First one up is alf from
Speaker 1: the Great Beyond. These are actual letters. If you want
Speaker 1: to send a message in you can send it right now.
Speaker 1: Won't get on today's mail bag because this is a podcast,
Speaker 1: but you can send it in anyway and we might
Speaker 1: use it for next week. Make sure we put your
Speaker 1: name in there if you want credit, name and city
Speaker 1: so we can give you a little love. So the
Speaker 1: mail bag, these are questions sending Ben Mahlor show is
Speaker 1: the uh, well, that's the Facebook page. We don't really
Speaker 1: use Facebook for this anymore. It's real fifth hour at
Speaker 1: gmail dot com. That's all laters, no numbers. Real spell
Speaker 1: it out r E A L and then f I
Speaker 1: F T H h o U R at gmail dot com.
Speaker 1: Music provided as we said by ohio Al first one
Speaker 1: up Alf from the Great Beyond. He says, gentlemen, I'll
Speaker 1: try not to be Debbie Downer this week. But Masshole
Speaker 1: Mickey had asked me weeks ago whether or not I
Speaker 1: thought that you'd be doing a mail bag this week,
Speaker 1: and he told me he had a great question for you,
Speaker 1: which you teased last week when you read his question. Also, Ben,
Speaker 1: I thought you were the king of the tees. But
Speaker 1: masshole Mickey has outdone you, because now I have to
Speaker 1: wait until I passed through the pearly gates to ask
Speaker 1: him what his question was. Oh Man Yeah. So now
Speaker 1: for my mediocre question, do your wives really get into Christmas?
Speaker 1: I mean, like multiple trees and Christmas village pieces and
Speaker 1: decorations everywhere, like the ones that my wife puts all
Speaker 1: over the Alpha State. Before we get to that, I
Speaker 1: did want to address Masshole Mickey major depression. Obviously, we're very,
Speaker 1: very sad. We did the mail bag last week. I
Speaker 1: did not find out that Masshole Mickey had died until
Speaker 1: we found out. I found out on Sunday during I
Speaker 1: think it was Sunday during the day what I believe.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of the timeline. But at the
Speaker 1: time we did the mailbag, we did not know that
Speaker 1: he had had died. He died on his way to work.
Speaker 1: And my condolences to his family, obviously as his wife
Speaker 1: and his kids there and his friends many and I
Speaker 1: want to thank his friends. A lot of times Danny
Speaker 1: and people pass away we don't know, and his buddies
Speaker 1: who were also out delivering newspapers or whatever the stores.
Speaker 1: They all listened to the show. They're fans of the show,
Speaker 1: and they knew him from the show, and they listened
Speaker 1: to the show and they wanted me to know that
Speaker 1: he had passed away on his way to work and
Speaker 1: just terrible.
Speaker 3: Super sad. We you and I were texting about it
Speaker 3: to start the week, and not only was he a
Speaker 3: big part of this Fifth Hour podcast, but he signed
Speaker 3: up on Twitter just so he could communicate with us
Speaker 3: on Twitter.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I know he loved the show. And I met
Speaker 1: him when I was back in Boston. We were taking
Speaker 1: some stuff for the TV show and I said, like,
Speaker 1: last minute, I a couple hours noticed. I was like, Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be outside Bova's Bakery on the North End.
Speaker 1: Anybody wants to meet me, come down. I give nobody
Speaker 1: really heads up, and mass Ole Mickey's such a big
Speaker 1: fan that he drove. He lives out near Worcester, and
Speaker 1: he drove all the way in to see me and
Speaker 1: hang out for like, you know, twenty thirty minutes or
Speaker 1: whatever it was. And I talked to blind Scott a
Speaker 1: little bit this week, and blind Scott had gotten there
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier and was catching up with mass
Speaker 1: Ole Mickey, and blind Scott was really emotional about it too.
Speaker 1: We were talking about you know, he had told me
Speaker 1: how big a deal the show was for him and
Speaker 1: how he loved it and it was such a big
Speaker 1: part of his routine, mass O Mickey, and it was
Speaker 1: just just sat all the way around, especially and he
Speaker 1: almost died during the summer. He told me the story
Speaker 1: about he had had major medical problems. He had a
Speaker 1: big operation and a lot of health problems, and you know,
Speaker 1: he got over that and he went right back to
Speaker 1: work because he had to provide food, you know, money
Speaker 1: for the family and whatnot, and so he quickly went
Speaker 1: back to work. And yeah, I don't know what happened.
Speaker 1: I know, I don't know all the details. I just
Speaker 1: know he was in an accident eno if he had
Speaker 1: a heart attack or there was the weather was bad,
Speaker 1: which I heard the weather was bad as he was
Speaker 1: driving work. I don't know about all that, but just
Speaker 1: just a sad deal. I mean, he was around our age, Danny,
Speaker 1: a little bit younger than us. And then that's it.
Speaker 1: Lights out. But rest in peace, mass While Mickey will
Speaker 1: We'll miss you, and a lot of people were touched.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's I heard from a lot of folks.
Speaker 1: It's one of those things. They'd heard his name a
Speaker 1: lot because he used a lot of it on Twitter.
Speaker 1: He only called in a few times, but a lot
Speaker 1: of email questions for this podcast, and also he would
Speaker 1: send us messages on Twitter all the time.
Speaker 3: So but he really was a nice dude, and he
Speaker 3: had a great sense of humor obviously, good taste and radio. Yes,
Speaker 3: and I'm going to name the podcast today in tribute
Speaker 3: to him, Masshole, Mickey mailbag no good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he was. He was great man. I
Speaker 1: loved hearing about his life. And he had worked as
Speaker 1: a chef, he had some health problems, you know that's
Speaker 1: obviously couldn't do that anymore, and spent a little time
Speaker 1: in California, had in San Diego, and it was good
Speaker 1: to get to know him a little bit. And I'm
Speaker 1: really happy I got to meet him. I obviously did
Speaker 1: not think that would be the you know, the end
Speaker 1: of it. I thought I'd see him every year, going back.
Speaker 1: Hopefully the TV show gets picked up and we go
Speaker 1: back and hang out and catch up, you know, a
Speaker 1: year after year and all that. But you never know.
Speaker 1: That's the craziness of life, right, You don't know when
Speaker 1: that's it. And this is the second time that's happened
Speaker 1: where I met a listener at an event and within
Speaker 1: a couple months they died. There was a guy Rick
Speaker 1: in Boston. This goes back probably fifteen sixteen years. I
Speaker 1: was with Mikey Adams. We were bar hopping around Boston.
Speaker 1: Mikey Adams is a big nighttime guy wi and he
Speaker 1: knew that guy was like the mayor of Boston, knew
Speaker 1: every bartender complete you know, he loved drinking. So we
Speaker 1: would bounce from bar to bar around Boston. And Rick,
Speaker 1: this guy, one of our callers, showed up and it
Speaker 1: was really cool. And again, you know, died in a
Speaker 1: car accident and I remember Rick, and that kind of
Speaker 1: triggered that memory of Rick from Masshole.
Speaker 3: Mickey.
Speaker 1: As far as the question, alf, I yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: my wife is obsessed with Christmas. I'm Jewish, so I
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not. We celebrate the spirit of Christmas
Speaker 1: at the house, but not the not really religious stuff.
Speaker 1: But I mean, yeah, there's lights, there's the tree, and
Speaker 1: this already yesterday, Danny. On Saturday, we went out and
Speaker 1: got the tree. Uh, and my wife's like, she's reading
Speaker 1: these stories online. She's like, well, you know, you don't
Speaker 1: want to get it too soon because you know you'll
Speaker 1: dry out and it's a fire hazard. And then like
Speaker 1: two days later, let's go get the tree, you know,
Speaker 1: so it's like, well, no, that's proba too soon. But yeah,
Speaker 1: there's lights everywhere, all kinds of decorations. It's pretty pretty crazy.
Speaker 1: What about you, Danny, your wife all over the Christmas.
Speaker 3: For me, my mom didn't like the origins of Christmas
Speaker 3: and thought it had pagan roots and didn't want to
Speaker 3: follow the crowd to be like a sheep. Okay, she
Speaker 3: didn't do Christmas. She didn't say anything bad about it
Speaker 3: to anybody, but she just didn't celebrate, which was fine.
Speaker 3: So growing up I wasn't accustomed to it. As an adult,
Speaker 3: it's been like whatever because I don't have any tradition
Speaker 3: with it. But my Wifey loves it because she has
Speaker 3: great memories of doing it with her kids and traditions
Speaker 3: and so Black Friday, as I was preparing to watch
Speaker 3: The Raiders, she was preparing the Christmas tree and decorations.
Speaker 3: She took everything out of the balcony closet with very
Speaker 3: serious OCD put everything in the exact same spot it
Speaker 3: was last Christmas, with some improvements from Amazon. So yeah,
Speaker 3: she's really really into it. And she's one of those
Speaker 3: ladies where she wants to take pictures where the whole
Speaker 3: family has matching pajamas.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, those are the things when your kids are old.
Speaker 1: They're like, holy fuck.
Speaker 3: I'm always going to be one of those kids. Because
Speaker 3: she took a picture like that last year and I
Speaker 3: was the only one not in the matching pajamas.
Speaker 1: You're like, I'm a Raider fan. I cannot do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not even for family.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear you, all right. Next up Jose from
Speaker 1: Van Eyes Beautiful Van Eyes, right, sin He says, Yeah, guys,
Speaker 1: bet I like the videos you post on Instagram about
Speaker 1: the TV show. I gotta know, though, Have you and
Speaker 1: Tom gotten stopped by security while you wander around Universal Studios? No,
Speaker 1: not really, there was one. It was one time. Tom's
Speaker 1: still embarrassed we did that. There was a security guard
Speaker 1: that they're always driving by these little golf carts Universal Students.
Speaker 1: Now we have actual passes. Like it's very weird, Hojse
Speaker 1: we're there. We feel like interlopers, like we don't really
Speaker 1: belong there. We feel like we should be on one
Speaker 1: of the trams that goes by every thirty minutes. But
Speaker 1: we're allowed. I mean, we have a pass, we got
Speaker 1: cleared by security. We are working, we do the TV
Speaker 1: show from there, So it's very bizarre. It does feel
Speaker 1: like you don't belong there. And we keep going further
Speaker 1: and further back in Universal Studios, and the tram goes by,
Speaker 1: and this is again this week. We were filming the
Speaker 1: video and the tram went by and.
Speaker 3: We yeah, I saw that, And because you were panning
Speaker 3: your camera around a little bit, I recognized exactly where
Speaker 3: you guys were standing from the tram tour when they
Speaker 3: take you by and they show you different buildings that
Speaker 3: writers work in across from the studio.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, So we were walking that's like
Speaker 1: the main street on the back lot. You walk down
Speaker 1: that street and there's like a little dining kitchen area,
Speaker 1: there's a writer's room, there's studios all across there.
Speaker 3: That's gotta feel cool.
Speaker 1: Oh, it feels awesome. It feels just amazing. It's it's all.
Speaker 1: It's so great to do it. But yeah, one time
Speaker 1: we got stopped again, I don't want to say stop
Speaker 1: by security, but a guy came by and asked us
Speaker 1: if we needed to direct. He thought we were lost
Speaker 1: or something like that. You know, he didn't know who
Speaker 1: we were, and you.
Speaker 3: Know, Louis that's got to be because of the dumb
Speaker 3: look on Looney's face.
Speaker 1: Looney, of course was hurt by that because Looney wants
Speaker 1: everyone to know who Looney is. I of course want
Speaker 1: no one to know who I am. But we're complete
Speaker 1: opposites in that in that regard. But it's been been
Speaker 1: great fun and I appreciate it. It does remind me of
Speaker 1: the early days of Fox Sports Radio. I have so
Speaker 1: many great memories. When Fox Sports Radio launched, we had
Speaker 1: studios at the Fox Lot in West La on Pico
Speaker 1: and this is amazing. We would go out, and I've
Speaker 1: told stories before, my buddy and we would run around
Speaker 1: the Fox Lot. I'd just go there sometimes and hang
Speaker 1: out and then they didn't care. It was very laid back.
Speaker 1: There was hardly any security. Just go through the guard
Speaker 1: gate going there and we would f around on the
Speaker 1: New York set, the backdrop of New York. And then
Speaker 1: nine to eleven happened and that was it. You know,
Speaker 1: they I couldn't get anyone in after nine to eleven,
Speaker 1: But before that it was cool. But this is a
Speaker 1: lot of fun. So but yeah, security is not. They
Speaker 1: really don't bother us. They just one time and Loony's
Speaker 1: got all offended by that. Reggie from Detroit wright say,
Speaker 1: He says, Ben and Danny, I know you guys don't
Speaker 1: do sporty on the podcast. I know your thoughts. Ben,
Speaker 1: I heard your monologue. How does Danny feel about Blake
Speaker 1: Snell going to his Dodgers?
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm glad this is a question this week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, I don't know if you have the same beef.
Speaker 1: I I don't like Blake Snell. I don't. I was
Speaker 1: very clear about that. He's a good ballplayer, but I
Speaker 1: don't like him. I don't think you have his much
Speaker 1: hatred as I have for But where are you at
Speaker 1: on that? Dan?
Speaker 3: No, he doesn't bother me specifically, But what bothers me
Speaker 3: and I still have a bad taste in my mouth
Speaker 3: is the uh. It was Thanksgiving Day, actually Thanksgiving morning.
Speaker 3: Covino and Rich were filling in for Dan Patrick, and
Speaker 3: one of their big topics that morning was the Dodgers
Speaker 3: are the new evil Empire. I had a Yankees fan
Speaker 3: and a Mets fan ganging up on me saying it
Speaker 3: wasn't fair what the Dodgers are doing with contracts.
Speaker 1: Oh stop so stupid.
Speaker 3: You know, normally I get along really really well with
Speaker 3: Coveno and Rich. They're good friends now, but I wanted
Speaker 3: to punch both of them in the throat that morning
Speaker 3: because I felt like that argument from them was beneath them,
Speaker 3: especially being ironically a die hard Yankees fan and Mets fan,
Speaker 3: because all baseball teams for money and try for the
Speaker 3: big whale free agents, and the bottom line is these
Speaker 3: players want to be Dodgers and chose the Dodgers, and
Speaker 3: all the fans that are hating on the Dodgers right now,
Speaker 3: to me, it just screams jealousy.
Speaker 1: The other thing is, you understand, like people are debating
Speaker 1: are they gonna get rid of deferred money. They're never
Speaker 1: gonna get rid of deferred money, because what's gonna happen, Danny,
Speaker 1: and I was talking to somebody who works in baseball,
Speaker 1: and they all kind of thought the same thing, Like
Speaker 1: the Dodgers for the next ten or twelve years are
Speaker 1: gonna be set, but after that they're screwed, like with
Speaker 1: all this deferred money with the Otani contract, so they better.
Speaker 1: I mean, we're gonna be old, Danny. But by the
Speaker 1: time we're old, they're gonna blow. I mean, they're gonna
Speaker 1: have so much deferred money, it's highly unlikely. I think
Speaker 1: the team will probably be sold by then, and then
Speaker 1: whoever buys it is going to inherit all this debt
Speaker 1: that they're gonna have to pay out but not it's gonna.
Speaker 3: Be like a huge radio company.
Speaker 1: You ain't kid, oh man, what are you doing moment?
Speaker 3: But Benny, what's funny is though, when the Dodgers fell
Speaker 3: on their faces two postseasons in a row, we didn't
Speaker 3: hear any of this.
Speaker 1: Oh no, it was the Dodgers of failures.
Speaker 3: All these same people had all these jokes about the choker,
Speaker 3: the choking Dodgers. So come on, man, So you're switching
Speaker 3: from that to now this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Will Smith the Catcher is a homegrown play
Speaker 1: that's oh.
Speaker 3: I I brought him up more than once, and they
Speaker 3: were making fun of me because I set his name
Speaker 3: more than one time. They're like, you keep going back
Speaker 3: to Will Smith, and I'm like, cause he's one of
Speaker 3: our core players.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it just bugs me because I didn't think
Speaker 3: they would go down that road. They're usually above the
Speaker 3: petty sports cry baby stuff.
Speaker 1: Well, you mark my words. When Juan Soto signs with
Speaker 1: either the Yankees or the Mets. It'll be a lot
Speaker 1: deferred money. I be shocked if it's not. And then
Speaker 1: you can say, well, what about what about soda? What
Speaker 1: about one soda you got? You know you signed soda
Speaker 1: a deferred.
Speaker 3: Mondy I at this point, I am praying the Dodgers
Speaker 3: get Sodo, because now I want them to fucking sign everybody.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no days off? All right, Mike and
Speaker 1: Fullerton writes, and he says, Hi, Ben and g I'm
Speaker 1: not exaggerating a bit when I say Friday's Talk with
Speaker 1: Brian Finley his hands down the greatest fifth Hour episode
Speaker 1: of all time. Did you know you were recording podcast
Speaker 1: in the moment or did it hit you afterwards? And
Speaker 1: when you say getting Finley on the show is your
Speaker 1: biggest get since Brian Billick, that's from I put your
Speaker 1: pants back on, Mike, put your pants back up? Bet
Speaker 1: you that by you come on, daddy, Daddy. I told
Speaker 1: numb nuts, I said, listen, I felt bad the company
Speaker 1: laid them off, and so I said, well, I'll throw
Speaker 1: your bone. And plus I think it was Mike and
Speaker 1: Fullerton that ferg dog that paid twenty thousand dollars for
Speaker 1: that appearance, So that was a paid appearance. Nick and
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Right. Since its Ben and Danny. I've missed contributing
Speaker 1: the last couple of months, always listening, but just purchased
Speaker 1: my first house. Congratulations, dig Mazle. Getting to the question
Speaker 1: with Thanksgiving just a couple of days removed? What is
Speaker 1: the worst small talk that happens at your Thanksgiving family
Speaker 1: get togethers? My very leftist grandparents loved talking politics. Oh,
Speaker 1: can't stand it? Later, skater got a murder, gotta go?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Were they comparing their best Trump dance.
Speaker 1: It's a tough one. You want to want to sit
Speaker 1: this one out if you're a leftist this year. But
Speaker 1: as far as me, I think we have similar things. Danny.
Speaker 1: It's the people that aren't sporty, people that try to
Speaker 1: talk sports that's always awkward.
Speaker 3: Yeah, who's so? Who's going to in the super Bowl?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Because Ben, you're in sports radio. You're in sports talk radio,
Speaker 3: so am I. So we have the answers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have all the answers. And a lot of
Speaker 1: my relatives aren't sports people. They don't have the sports gene.
Speaker 1: They don't really understand And I get it. You know,
Speaker 1: and I'm I genuinely don't like small talk as it is,
Speaker 1: and I know it's awkward. You're supposed to do it
Speaker 1: at the holidays, and just it's very uncomfortable.
Speaker 3: How about this. Uh, some of my family members were
Speaker 3: talking about AI recently because Kim Kardashian posed with that
Speaker 3: Tesla robot. Okay, did you see the pictures of her?
Speaker 3: I did.
Speaker 1: People were wondering if it was paid for, right, if
Speaker 1: it was.
Speaker 3: Like yeah, well yeah, and she was like some of
Speaker 3: the pictures, she was sitting on the robot's lap.
Speaker 1: I got turned on and it scared me.
Speaker 3: She was holding its hand. She obviously did this because
Speaker 3: she wanted a lot of attention.
Speaker 2: Wait.
Speaker 1: Wait, you think of Kardashian would want to take wrong
Speaker 1: with you, daddy? Come on, that's outrageous. They don't want
Speaker 1: any attention.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean she wanted she wanted the kind
Speaker 3: of attention like, oh, is Kim going to be the
Speaker 3: first person to have babies with a robot?
Speaker 1: You know, if there was a way, the Kardashians would
Speaker 1: be in on it, right yeah. Oh.
Speaker 3: The first comment underneath our pictures, Ben said, finally you
Speaker 3: have a babysitter for Kanye's kids. Oh, because she's She
Speaker 3: was in the news recently bitching about how she's taking
Speaker 3: care of the kids all by herself. Anyhow, I mean,
Speaker 3: imagine what people think about AI. Like older people, they
Speaker 3: think it's the strangest shit because it's straight out of
Speaker 3: the I Robot movie. Yeah.
Speaker 1: When I think AI, I think allan ivers and I
Speaker 1: think Sixers. I think of the Lakers, six Ers, NBA
Speaker 1: Finals and the tylu Remember when AI at the Game one?
Speaker 1: The Sixers got all the attention. They lost that series,
Speaker 1: but that was the only game they won.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 1: Yes. I mean, you know, we grew up with the
Speaker 1: Jets ins.
Speaker 3: We all thought we were gonna have Rosie the robot
Speaker 3: in our kitchen. Yeah, in a decade from now, will
Speaker 3: there be a Tesla robot in everybody's kitchen? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Who knows. I saw somebody did an interview as wee.
Speaker 1: They were talking about like in twelve years, like people
Speaker 1: aren't gonna have to work and everything, no job wasn't
Speaker 1: it seems seems crazy. I guess we'll be here, hopefully,
Speaker 1: if we're lucky enough, we'll be here in twelve years
Speaker 1: and we'll.
Speaker 3: See what happened in Flying Deloreans.
Speaker 1: Y'all all set, But thank you Nick. Congratulations in your
Speaker 1: house man, that's an awesome thing. And hope you love it.
Speaker 3: And careful who you get as your handyman.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't have a guy paint without towels down in
Speaker 1: the kitchen before a big party. David in Ottawa. That's
Speaker 1: in Canada, Danny, David rise and he says hey, he
Speaker 1: says Ben and Danny, is this fair foul? A Montreal
Speaker 1: mall has been criticized. They're using the Baby Shark song
Speaker 1: to deter homeless people to have them leave the mall,
Speaker 1: so they keep playing the Baby Shark songs like this
Speaker 1: has happened a lot. I don't think this is the
Speaker 1: only time, David, this has happened. But I think that's
Speaker 1: fair game. They're trying to their business people, they're trying
Speaker 1: to get people to shop at the ball and I
Speaker 1: understand it's not the greatest thing in the world, but
Speaker 1: it's not. If the homeless people are there and they
Speaker 1: don't like the song, they'll leave. If they like the
Speaker 1: song and then they can stay. But I don't have
Speaker 1: a problem with it. Do you have a problem with it?
Speaker 2: Danny?
Speaker 3: I think that's fair no, and I heard that it
Speaker 3: was a close competition between that song and the original
Speaker 3: Ben Mallard songs. How dare you?
Speaker 1: I just realized now that a lot of songs that
Speaker 1: you and him, Roberto Eddie, all the songs are now outdated.
Speaker 1: There's no I mean they there's no songs that are
Speaker 1: They're all to me, they're classics, but they.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, the militia they're busy mailing Lorena gifts instead
Speaker 3: of mailing in Now.
Speaker 1: I know we don't get anything. It's all about Lorena.
Speaker 1: It's amazing, Danny. You put a nice sounding female on
Speaker 1: the radio and all of a sudden.
Speaker 3: To any sounding female.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know she sounds cute and
Speaker 1: she is cute.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean, let's be on this. Jeanie from
Speaker 3: Medford had stalkers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's wild man. You guys are horn dogs. Steve
Speaker 1: in Seattle writes in and says, I saw the story
Speaker 1: this week. I thought of the podcast. Scientists believe we
Speaker 1: will be able to go backwards in time within five years,
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny, would you be down to go backwards
Speaker 1: in time?
Speaker 3: Wow, we were just talking about the future. This is
Speaker 3: back to the future.
Speaker 1: Back a I think it's bullshit. I don't believe we'll
Speaker 1: be able to go backwards in time in five years
Speaker 1: because if you go backwards in time, right, isn't this
Speaker 1: the back to the future thing? You'll mess things up
Speaker 1: and you'll screw everything up and then there will be
Speaker 1: no future as you know it and all that.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, you could erase yourself from the picture.
Speaker 1: Now everyone would have the same plan, right, We'd find
Speaker 1: out who won the Super Bowl, go bet on the Chiefs,
Speaker 1: and then we'd all be rich and be great. But
Speaker 1: I don't I don't buy that. Although I do believe
Speaker 1: in the multiverse. I do believe there's different dimensions and
Speaker 1: every decision changes the future in one way or another.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like that movie Sliding Doors.
Speaker 1: There you go. I didn't see that movie, but I'll
Speaker 1: take your word for it. Take a bad job by you,
Speaker 1: Carl in New Hampshire. Right, since says Japan has launched
Speaker 1: a drinkable mayonnaise, are you and Danny down with? I
Speaker 1: don't mind mayonnaise, but I don't want to drink mayonnaise. Danny,
Speaker 1: you a big mayo guy.
Speaker 3: It's taken me years to be okay with the idea
Speaker 3: of drinking yogurt mayonnaise.
Speaker 1: No, thank you the yogurt guy. Kyrie and Okase I
Speaker 1: checked in. He gave him a little shout out the
Speaker 1: other day. He meant a lot. Thank you Kyrie for
Speaker 1: checking and he always listens to our podcast religiously. He's
Speaker 1: a big fan. I think Doc Mike was going through Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, you got to go see Kyrie man.
Speaker 1: We got Kyrie and Okac, Marcus and san Antonio rights in.
Speaker 1: He says, Hey, Ben, instead of waiting for Roberto or
Speaker 1: Danny g to leave or get let go, can we
Speaker 1: possibly have them on that episode at some point? How
Speaker 1: about Danny on every week? Marcus? He says, I get
Speaker 1: enough of Lorena on the show, so we're good there.
Speaker 3: Oh what does he mean on your live show?
Speaker 1: I don't I'm not sure what. I'm confused by this
Speaker 1: because he said he says, got me thinking about some
Speaker 1: of my favorite interviews on the Real Fifth Hour the
Speaker 1: last couple of years. And he then made this request
Speaker 1: and he mentioned you but you're on the podcast every week? Yeah, true,
Speaker 1: every week you are part of the podcast.
Speaker 3: You're all Before I joined you on the podcast, I
Speaker 3: was a guest on the podcast.
Speaker 1: That is true, you were you did pop up on
Speaker 1: the podcast.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I haven't so I haven't been a guest
Speaker 3: since then. That was like three and a half years ago.
Speaker 1: Has it been there long? I can't believe how far
Speaker 1: I mean fastest all Wow. Yeah, Marcus, you didn't really
Speaker 1: recommend anyone, I mean other than Roberto and Nanny who
Speaker 1: are here. We had Eddie on. I just had Numbnuts
Speaker 1: Brian Finley on. If you want to recommend someone by
Speaker 1: name in radio or someone I've worked with part of
Speaker 1: the Fox Alumni Association, I'd be happy to put them on.
Speaker 1: But I'm a little confused anyway. Marcus loves the show,
Speaker 1: so thank you for that.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Marcus. And I want the Whale. He's hard
Speaker 3: to get. We've only had him on one time.
Speaker 1: Brian Billick, I'm not available, so you leave the message. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Billick back the great Brian Billick. Brian Billick, Brian Billick.
Speaker 1: We can only hope now. Last one is a pontoon
Speaker 1: Pops from Worcester, Mass. I didn't want to mention this night,
Speaker 1: this is some of this is not for consumption on
Speaker 1: the air, but he sent me a message Danny after
Speaker 1: the passing of mass Whole Mickey and I talked about
Speaker 1: this on this podcast. Masshole Mickey was planning a event.
Speaker 1: He was going to put a Mallard meet and greet
Speaker 1: together in his area in Wooster.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's right. I remember you mentioning that.
Speaker 1: And he was gonna have me like throw out the
Speaker 1: first pitch at a Woo Socks game and it was
Speaker 1: gonna be all. I was really excited about it. And
Speaker 1: obviously he passed away, and so Pontoon Pops checked in.
Speaker 1: He lives in Worcester, and he he said that he
Speaker 1: would like to know and I guess I'm adding this,
Speaker 1: but honor mass whole Mickey. If I do end up
Speaker 1: going back, we do the TV show for season three,
Speaker 1: have have an event at a wo Socks game. So
Speaker 1: he says he he knows who to contact and he
Speaker 1: knows some people back there he can make the do
Speaker 1: the legwork. So hopefully in honor we'll do it in
Speaker 1: honor Pontoon Pops, in honor of mass Whole Mickey, and
Speaker 1: we'll have to make sure we say his name and
Speaker 1: all I give him some love. But I I'm all that,
Speaker 1: I'm down with it, man, I'm there. I love. I
Speaker 1: have not been able to throw out the first pitch
Speaker 1: in a while. It's been years, so I'm even I'm
Speaker 1: a better picture now, Danny, I am better now.
Speaker 3: I'm sure you are.
Speaker 1: I've got gyle.
Speaker 3: You age with grace like the Necro Brothers. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: we got that nice bench for Genie in La. I
Speaker 3: feel like it would be awesome for mass whole Mickey
Speaker 3: to get some sort of little black at that baseball stadium.
Speaker 1: That'd be great. Yeah. I don't know if they have
Speaker 1: a thing like that, but we should do something to
Speaker 1: honor Masshole Mickey. That would be a great tribute to
Speaker 1: him and something his kids and family can check out
Speaker 1: down the line. All right, have a wonderful rest your Sonday,
