WEBVTT - The Fifth Hour: "Scooters & Scratches" Mail Bag 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:05.480 Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a 0:00:05.480 --> 0:00:09.240 week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of 0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.920 the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. 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. The Fifth Hour with Ben 0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:33.560 Maller starts right now in the air Everywhere a male 0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:37.080 bag addition to the Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:43.080 Danny G Radio, because five nights a week not enough, 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:47.800 four hours a night not enough. Bonus coverage eight days 0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:51.280 a week, and if my math is correct Annie, for me, 0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:54.680 this would be the eighth day of the week, Sunday, 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:59.440 but two shows on Friday. I think it's not trigonometry. 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:02.360 I think the math on that works out well. But anyway, 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:06.120 we've got the mailbag and I am raring to go. 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:09.200 Are you prepared to go into the mailbag? Danny G? 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:12.520 I am ready. And it's gonna be an extended Mallard 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:15.200 week for me because I'm gonna be in for coup 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:18.600 on Monday night and Tuesday night on your live show, 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:23.240 The Microphone Throttler. We're going old school, and I might 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:26.480 even make a rare and appropriate, mandated by the company 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.800 appearance in studio one of those nights, I will I 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:33.280 will likely stop by and we will hang out, and 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:37.160 that'll be wonderful, wonderful one full circle. I'll bring Bubbo 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:43.160 in with me, Bobo on the radio, my man, Bobbo. 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.800 I don't talk to Bobbo. Is he in on Sunday Nights? Idea? 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:49.840 He used to say hello to me, Miller. We should 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.880 get Bobbo on the Fifth Hour podcast. So we get 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:55.160 him on here for sure? Absolutely, all right, here we go, 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:58.120 strike up the band, let's start this thing off right 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:08.520 here we go. Do you ever get the feeling you're 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:12.440 living in groundhog Day that your life just repeats By 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:15.680 the time we get to the podcast, I've got tons 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:20.960 of mail, so I I panic. I prematurely think, oh crap, 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:22.800 no one's sending questions and we're not going to do 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.360 the mail bag. And then inevitably it always seems to 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.800 work out one way or another. Yeah, it's like a 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:29.920 lot of shots get thrown up in the third and 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:33.880 fourth quarter. Yeah, yeah, you fall behind early, like this 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:37.160 is just sucks. You know what's going on here? Nothing's 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:39.600 really working out for us, and then before you know it, 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.000 you're having a great time, so it works out. I 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:47.960 got mail, Yeah, I got mail, Yeah, yes you do. 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.840 First one comes from Pierre from Springfield, Mass And again 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:55.360 you can post your question on Tuesday on the Facebook 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:57.880 page Ben Mallow Show or Real Fifth Hour at gmail 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.600 dot com. Pierre from Springfield, Mass to choose at home 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:02.359 with the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame and also alf 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:05.959 the aen O. Piner says, with the popularity and success 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:10.120 of your newest game show, are there any other any 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:14.359 others bouncing around that melon of yours? Also, like you say, 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:18.200 football is the gas that fuels the show? Is anyone 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:21.720 efforting the next season of Benny Versus the Penny on 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:26.720 some type of live stream platform sans the elitist? So 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:30.960 we have nothing concrete on Benny Versus the Penny. We 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:36.520 have big dreams of monetizing Benny Versus the Penny, making 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:38.200 that a big deal. I think it's a great concept. 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.080 We've been doing it for a long time and there's 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:43.400 a there's a market for that. But somebody asked to bite, 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:45.960 and we've been in talks with a number of people, 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:48.440 and those kind of deals do get done now, Pierre. 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:52.080 Even though football season is not until September, this is 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.560 the time of the year where those kind of things 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:59.280 get negotiated. So what would Marcel say, keep your fingers crossed. 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:01.800 I think you would. I would think you would say 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.080 something like that. And as far as game show ideas, 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.000 I always have game show ideas. The problem is most 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.080 of them suck. We finally found one that's good. We've 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:13.680 been playing Danny the Mallard Militia Feud is our newest game, 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.360 and people seem to really like it. It's it's it's 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.760 a fun game. People enjoy it. It's not really a 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:23.040 sports game, but it's just about life and things that everyone. 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.320 We're all we all live a similar life one way 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:28.360 or another. So yeah, And as far as Benny Versus 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:32.000 the Penny, it's kind of like when NBA teams finally 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:36.080 put that logo on their jersey sponsored I cannot wait 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:42.200 for Benny Versus the Penny brought to you by co Tex. Yes. Yes, well, 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:45.159 if this is the checks big enough, as we learned 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.640 with Dustin Johnson this week going to play golf for 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.880 Saudi Arabia, that if the check's big enough, it'll happen. 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:54.080 All right, You've got mail Nick in Wisconsin rights and 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:57.640 he says, with recently being off the last month of work, 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:02.360 I've been podcasting the entire a show sometimes, Nick writes, 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.000 and he says, it overlaps with my family time. My 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:09.359 wife gets piste oh at me for listing. What do 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:13.000 you do unintentionally that pisces off your wife or in 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:18.440 Danny G's cases, Queen Tenderoni. Yeah, so for me it's easy. 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:22.400 I'm very stressed out all the time, thinking I'm forgetting 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.960 something and worried about making the show as good as 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:28.680 I can. So I often I'm not proud of it. 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:32.359 I'm a finger biter. I bite my nails and uh my, 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:35.839 my wife gets so untoid when I do that. She 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.200 can't stand it. And I do it. I don't even 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:41.680 realize I'm doing it half the time, but that really 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:46.280 bothers And and she has miss a phony, who so 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.919 that's a problem. Chewing food becomes a problem when you 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.880 have miss a phony. It's a mental illness. And so 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:54.960 those are the things that really annoy when I eat, 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:57.280 and which I think you have to do to live. 0:05:57.839 --> 0:05:59.560 And then when I bite my finger nails because I'm 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.360 stressed out because I'm trying to think of some other 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.920 monologue ideas and I don't have any. What about you, Danny? 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:09.359 What really annoys the good number one in arone in 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:13.640 your life? Absolutely nothing? Man, I'm perfect in her eyes? 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.480 Is that right? Really? You don't ever? You don't do 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.039 that at all. I don't do that in front of it. Um. 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:24.360 I will say, she's slightly O. C. D Ish, so 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:29.280 she likes things in their perfect places, and so if 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:33.240 you move something and you don't put it back right away, 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.919 it annoys her. There's times where I and I know this, 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:40.240 so I'm really good at putting things back, but there's 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:44.159 times where I won't put something back immediately, and when 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:47.920 I come back to do it, she's already done it. Okay, 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.159 So that that's about it. Though I don't think I 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.839 get on our nerves other than some of the O. 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.200 C d issues she's done. Are you still in the honeymoon? 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.200 Do you't even married yet? Are the state we've been 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:03.320 in the honeymoon? Stay all right? You live with somebody, 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.880 It's just natural. There's gonna be certain things that they 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.400 do that just kind of get under your skin. But 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.480 that's the key. To, you know, long healthy relationship you got. 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:15.040 Sometimes I slap her ass too hard and she's like, well, 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.480 it's a barbro. That's what we came here. So it's 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:22.640 gotta get your money's worth with that hotel. Come on, 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:28.240 all right, let's see Michael from SoCal Rights. He said 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:32.720 during the NFL off season, wire sportswriter is compelled to 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:36.920 do mock drafts and mock fifty three man rosters and 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:41.800 mock rookies and who may become standouts when all these 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:47.120 mocks are wrong of the time, I'd rather they post 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:52.200 cat photos. Mos are a complete waste of time. I'm 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:54.840 right there with you, Michael. You're preaching to choir. And 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:58.160 the reason they do that stuff is a they are 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:01.840 told to do that stuff by people who make decisions 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:05.960 in the editorial department and then be for some reason, 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.160 they get a lot of clicks. Otherwise they wouldn't do it, 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:15.120 So somebody must be loving that content. I always get 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.240 a kick out of the power rankings that come out 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:20.240 during the NFL season, and that's during the season. It's 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.880 just I think one dude's opinion on where the teams 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:26.080 are in the NFL, and people get so upset if 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.840 their team is not high enough in the power rankings. 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:30.920 Like I've always kind of goofed on you know, Danny 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:34.120 have goofed on list radio, but the list, And I 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:35.719 had had a friend tell me years ago, said, the 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:40.160 list is amazing. People human nature get upset by a 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.800 list of arbitrary list of things. If it's not in 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:47.199 the right order. They oh, my god, craziness, Dan, especially 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.480 if they feel like something has been left off of 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:53.520 the list. How could you overlook that? Oh? Yeah, well 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:55.280 that's the secret, right if you if you need the 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:58.880 answer to something, give the wrong answer and then people 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:02.120 will give you the right. That's the old internet legend. 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:06.240 And yeah, and I will push back slightly on the 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:10.240 mock draft lists. And the reason why is because my 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:13.400 favorite NFL team would be so high up in the 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.200 draft most seasons that it was all I had to 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:20.199 look forward to. Really, I would click and be like, 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:22.400 who are we going to draft to bring us back 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.839 to greatness? And now the Raiders are following in your 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:32.400 rams foot steps. F them picks. F them picks. Absolute. 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.360 See when you f them picks, you get the daily double. 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:39.360 That's the sound for the day. You get the daily double. 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:43.160 On that and the thing about the draft too, is 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.560 the only thing I really value is the scouting reports. 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:50.320 But I even laugh at that. They do strength and weaknesses, 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.440 and I get sent a lot of these things links 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:56.319 to different websites that are supposedly they want me to 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.640 promote their website and all that, and some of that's 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.920 good information. And I do this bit every year where 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.920 I go back five years and I look at an 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:09.000 old NFL draft three or five years and mock all 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:12.360 the wrong predictions, which inevitably it's shooting fish in a 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:15.840 barrel is what that is. Let's see what is next toime. 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:21.000 I got mail? Yeah, I got mail. Yeah, skipped a 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:24.800 zip the old Roastmaster General known as Skippy in Ohio, 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:27.920 It says been I ever received several invites from the 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.040 proud parents of a graduating high school senior to their 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:35.640 child's graduation party. The most recent was a massive group text. 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:38.560 The problem is I don't know the parents, I don't 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:42.199 know the child, and it would appear I don't even 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:45.880 know anyone else in the group text. If it were you, 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:49.920 what would you do, he says, A ignore the invites, 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:53.400 be respond to the group text with I don't know 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.640 who you are but congratulations see send a card with 0:10:56.720 --> 0:11:00.680 an inspirational quote or d send a car everybody long, 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:05.680 obnoxious but heartfelt Valeve Korean speech type letter thing, he says, 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:10.679 quoting Walt Disney Tesla Ronald Reagan telling the child, we 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:14.320 are all so proud of them, and it has been 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.160 such a joy to watch them grow up, etcetera, etcetera, 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:21.320 and let them figure it out on their own later. Well, 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:25.319 that's a very detailed response, skipped the zip. So I'm 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:27.920 an a guy. I love I love d The d 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:31.040 answer was great, But I'm an a guy. That sounds 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.520 like some spam to me. Well that sounds like that's 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:37.559 a that's a fishing expedition to me. But what about you, Danny? 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:39.400 And I was gonna say, how are you in a 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:43.240 group chat with people you don't know? Now? Is Skip 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:46.400 a teacher? Is it possible that he's followed in your footsteps? Danny? 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.240 And he's doing education, so maybe that's why he's taking 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:52.440 this a little more seriously than somebody like me who's 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:54.320 not a teacher. And somebody sent me a text like that, 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:59.280 I'm like, if you I'm not responding, go away. We 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:03.440 need skipped a zip. We need more context or skippy, 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:09.000 you've got mail Orlando in Hampton Roads, Virginia. I was 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:13.079 just in Hampton Roads, Virginia, a beautiful part of the country. 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:16.160 That was it was cool, says I have a couple. 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:20.120 Hopefully it hasn't been asked already. When you look back 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.679 at the time you and your wife dated, was there 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:26.520 any pickup lines or anything you did to impress her 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:33.160 that you you'd like to have back? He says. Also, 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:37.160 have you and the guys considered password or mountain of 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.520 money when you and Eddie are the contestants, maybe have 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.760 blind Scott to mar seller, somebody be your partner. I 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.880 love the show that's from Orlando. He says. He's been 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.319 listening since the Tim Tebow Radio roast when the great 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:52.840 bits we've ever done hilarious? The Tim Tebow Radio Roast 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.280 Man was that fun and that was actually skipped a 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:58.040 zip was part of that, the roastmaster General some of 0:12:58.040 --> 0:12:59.559 those shows back in the day. But Orlando, and to 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:02.640 answer for this question, I was terrible. I still am 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:07.079 terrible with relationship dating. You know women, obviously somehow you 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:08.960 can miss my wife to marry me. But I had 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:12.720 no pickup couch and I never told anyone I really 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:14.839 worked in radio, because then they think I had more 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:16.880 money than I did, and then didn't think I'm more 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:18.640 famous than I am, and so I always kind of 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:24.719 avoided that. So I didn't really have any any good 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:26.880 pickup ones. I wish I did. I wish I had 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:28.800 some corny ones I could share with you. I don't. 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:32.880 And the idea of password and Mallard's mount of money 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:37.040 being played with blind Scott and Marcel feedings clues is 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:42.800 the fuel of nightmares. Uh. And we've had Marcel and 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:47.280 our friend from Maine, Blair whoopee pie Blair play and 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:51.000 it's been interesting. But if they're the ones giving the clues, 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:55.000 oh my god. Been one of the great show game 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:58.320 show moments. And I included this in the best of 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:04.840 was when Flexus was on password and you're like, oh, 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:12.400 Flexus is never gonna get this, throw me a good one. 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:23.280 Then yeah, so this is perfect number number nine that 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:32.080 proves its prouves you jackass. Okay, this proves and all 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:37.880 of this is just Tom is just alright, relax, I'm 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:44.600 trying to I'm trying to if I get it, alright, alright, 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:49.000 all right, here we go I'll go, he's not gonna 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.560 get what I wanna the angle i'd like to go. 0:14:52.160 --> 0:15:01.800 I will go. I'll just throw this up fruit banana. 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:25.800 You got it right? Oh, stop laughing, alright, banana. And 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:30.040 indeed it was banana the show. I mean there was 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:34.240 five minutes of laughter that ensued. It was great. And 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:39.480 to hear Flexus like truly laughing to where Flexus couldn't 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.240 get the words out, it was like, but I got 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:46.480 it right, But that was right, A little classic moment, man, 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.560 it was I I do remember that night. We've had 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:53.760 some zany stuff on those those game shows. All right, 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:55.160 who is next? We'll keep it going. A lot of 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.280 mail this week, which is good. We like that, all right. 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:01.800 Next up is Fred from Spring, Texas. Fred is a 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:05.560 regular in the mail bag. He says, hey, guys, when 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:08.320 you have people over to visit, do you just talk 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:14.200 or do you play games or charades? It's an interesting question. 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:20.320 So usually it's around food. I've noticed the same way 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:22.360 when I grew up. Usually it's like, let's have a meal, 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.040 or let's have dessert, or let's have snacks or something 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:27.840 like that. It's very rarely just come over and not 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:31.720 eat anything. I don't remember the last time we've had 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:36.040 company over that didn't involve food. So it's always food, 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:42.360 no charades. I like the idea of playing games, but 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:44.880 that doesn't happen very often. What about you did my 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:50.800 TINDERNI puts together a really nice charcovery board. Oh the cheeseboard, right, 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:57.440 cheese and meats. We have the meats. Where are the meats? 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:03.720 Some good hummus, some salami, some cheeses, things like that, 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:07.000 And that gets the party started before you start hitting 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:12.480 the alcohol. So that's like the pregame show. That's the 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:16.040 warm up act. I got you all right, Well, thank 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:19.919 you for that. Comes out on stage and start stancing. Absolutely, 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:23.280 you've got mail Chris and Marracca to Iowa, says, I 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:26.960 understand radio stations make money by selling ads, but I'd 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:29.720 like to know how much does it cost to place 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:33.840 an ad? I know prime time costs more, but what 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:35.879 kind of range are we talking about here? A hundred 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:38.959 dollars a minute? And don't give me that that's not 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:42.520 my job. Line. Surely you've talked to an ad guy. 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:46.560 Your name is Ben not surely? Yes? Yes, so so 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.159 I will answer this now. I do not actually know 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:51.879 how much. I know a ballpark figure of how much 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:55.160 the commercials go for. But I had some people over 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:57.440 the years that have contacted me from mom and pop 0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:00.760 businesses trying to get advertising on this pod guest or 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:04.520 the radio show, and I said, sure, why not. And 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:08.360 then when they saw and they found out how much 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:10.720 it cost, it was sticker shock. I couldn't afford us 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:13.600 out of the budget we're talking. I think the minimum 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:17.960 buying is six figures. That's a lot of doll It's 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:21.720 a lot of Yeah, it's up there. There are smaller 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:26.480 packages than that. Because I dealt with this recently, um 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:29.240 I I was kind of like to go between for 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:33.760 a company and our ad department. Um. But yeah, they 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:38.000 tailor a package for you, and it is pricey because 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:41.280 it's national, so you're not just heard in one city, 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:45.840 You're heard all over the world, and thus the price tag. Yeah, 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:48.320 and there's different as you said, there's different, Grady, you 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:52.920 do live live reads costs more. Sometimes you have to 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:55.760 pay a talent fee. Apparently not for me, but sometimes 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:58.199 you have to do that kind of stuff. And and 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:02.240 so there's really depends what you want. But it's trust me, Chris, 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:07.200 I I wish it was affordable for everybody to buy advertising, 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:10.760 but you know, we are a national outfit. And it's 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:13.240 like I was watching that documentary about the TV station 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:16.480 in Perempt, Nevada, and it's like a cable channel and 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:19.560 the guy started selling spots. It was on HBO documentary 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:22.080 type thing. They were selling spots for like five dollars 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:26.120 a spot just to get advertisers in. And it was like, man, 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:28.640 that's wild, and it is like a couple of years ago. 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:32.280 It's like a couple of years ago. Anyway, what if 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:34.479 we did that weed man hippie would have a series 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:39.399 of commercials, God don't don't remind me please? And he says, 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:46.720 ps go raiders who from Chris It's time? From that 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:49.720 call all right treas rights And he says, if you 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:52.600 had to lose one or the other, would you lose 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:57.240 one hand or one fot you get a call or 0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:02.280 a peg leg through a place. It's actually an interesting question. 0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:07.600 And as much as I love movement and walking, I 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:10.359 would think it would be a bigger pain in the 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:15.600 ass without the hand. But we we have a mutual 0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:17.919 friend that used to work at Fox Sports Radio, the 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:22.920 one Arm bandit and uh and from Syracuse who had 0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:27.160 He's his entire life, he has not had the hand. 0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:30.240 He was born without it, and he's now an extra 0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:33.160 in Hollywood. I saw he left. I did not realize 0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:36.359 he had left the company. Actually emailed him. His name 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:39.119 is Nick. I emailed him and said, what's going on 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:42.919 in your Hollywood? And yeah, he he left to do acting, 0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:45.880 which I don't know how good that's going. That's that's 0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:49.359 for him to tell and all that stuff. But I 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:51.560 guess he did think it might have been more lucrative 0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:55.840 than he turned out to turn out to be. He 0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:59.760 recently Freeze framed a show that he was in the 0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:05.359 back ground of. Yeah, catch me up the mark. Well, 0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:09.280 you can get extra work, but the problem is it 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:13.840 a doesn't pay a lot and and be it takes 0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:17.199 a long time to do, like one scene. It's a 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:20.479 it's a lot of hours that you're spending sitting around 0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:23.160 doing nothing. That's the one thing a lot of people 0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:28.480 don't realize about that sort of work. Downtime. The downtime 0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:32.200 kills most people's vibe. They are like, I had no 0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:35.480 idea I was gonna sit on this set hungry and 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:40.040 thirsty for ten hours. Oh for sure, for sure, But 0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:42.680 to answer your question, tres A, I like this question 0:21:42.760 --> 0:21:49.000 is a unique question. I would pick if I had 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:51.200 to lose one I could choose. I would lose a foot. 0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:54.960 I would have a peg leg like a pirate, and 0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:58.920 I'd get Yeah. And I just did a two dollar 0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:01.280 drum roll for you. I couldn't do that with one hand. 0:22:01.920 --> 0:22:05.280 My right hand was getting a workout. See that's right. 0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:08.200 What would you so you would you would choose the hands, 0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:10.320 right you, You'd pick the hands and then lose the foot. 0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:13.320 Is that what you would do? I would lose one foot, yeah, 0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:16.920 because then you'd have a reason to have motorized scooters 0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:19.919 at the theme parks it's right, yeah. And at the 0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:23.600 handicap parking right, yeah, handy in at the school campus, 0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:32.560 they'd give me a golf cart. Be great. Yeah. There 0:22:32.560 --> 0:22:35.680 are some positives and not all negative. It's not all negative. 0:22:35.680 --> 0:22:40.440 There are some positive. I got mail, Yeah, I got mail, yeah, 0:22:41.240 --> 0:22:45.359 email from Jim and Jim's wife about Jim's wife saying 0:22:45.400 --> 0:22:48.120 Jim and Jim's wife says, Ben and Daniji, So thank 0:22:48.160 --> 0:22:52.120 you so thanks for helping me have a little fun 0:22:52.240 --> 0:22:57.000 at my husband Jim's expense. Jim's wife writes he has 0:22:57.040 --> 0:23:00.679 a problem with the term final four? Has anyone if 0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:04.200 I don't wanted to talk about the clips in the NBA, Well, 0:23:04.200 --> 0:23:07.040 I want Jim and Jim's wife to know that my man, 0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:11.480 Eddie Garcia this week in hockey referenced the final four. 0:23:11.560 --> 0:23:13.880 So it's not just me, it's Eddie, and Eddie likes 0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:15.600 to goog fund me, and so what do you say 0:23:15.600 --> 0:23:18.280 to the final four? He did the same thing. How 0:23:18.359 --> 0:23:23.240 about shut up? Email? Continues says He and I, meaning 0:23:23.240 --> 0:23:27.439 the wife, listen to every Fox Sports Radio and fifth 0:23:27.440 --> 0:23:31.439 hour podcast of your God, love you, thank you, thank you, 0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:33.719 thank you, thank you. He's a huge fan of yours, 0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:37.560 Danny and all the Mallard militia. But he's not computer 0:23:37.640 --> 0:23:41.840 savvy and not even email. His life must be so 0:23:41.920 --> 0:23:44.600 much easier, right, Jim, You don't have to deal with 0:23:44.640 --> 0:23:48.840 the bull bull crap. I almost said way less stressed. God, 0:23:49.760 --> 0:23:52.840 I wonder if I'd never plugged into America Online and 0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:55.120 Netscape Navigator back in the day, how my life would 0:23:55.160 --> 0:23:59.480 have changed. But here I am anyway, it says. She 0:23:59.560 --> 0:24:03.119 says he her husband used to call the local sports 0:24:03.200 --> 0:24:06.920 radio show while taking a bubble bath in the evening 0:24:06.960 --> 0:24:12.760 after work, so they called him bubble boy. That could 0:24:12.760 --> 0:24:16.679 be taking for her bad. Uh. If if he can 0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:18.920 ever wake up early enough to become a regular caller 0:24:18.960 --> 0:24:22.800 to the show, would you give him a nickname? Yes, yes, 0:24:23.320 --> 0:24:26.040 I will. I love giving out nicknames. I believe overnight 0:24:26.119 --> 0:24:29.000 radio we need as many nicknames as we can possibly 0:24:29.040 --> 0:24:31.520 give out. The last nickname we gave out was to 0:24:31.640 --> 0:24:36.040 Paul from Rhode Island, Plastered Paul, who earned that nickname 0:24:36.920 --> 0:24:40.399 and Jim says he'd be honored Living in Kansas. He's 0:24:40.440 --> 0:24:43.040 a Case State fan and still calls Bill Snyder the 0:24:43.040 --> 0:24:48.159 Pope man that Manhattan, Kansas. Yeah, he can be like 0:24:48.280 --> 0:24:53.240 warm Take Jim in a warm bath. Uh. He was 0:24:53.280 --> 0:24:57.000 wondering the email rights Jim. This is from Jim's wife. 0:24:57.080 --> 0:25:01.600 Jim was wondering if you could did George Brett whenever 0:25:01.640 --> 0:25:05.600
