Speaker 1: Kabbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to the Clearinghouse
Speaker 2: of hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth
Speaker 2: Hour with Ben Mahller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere, The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Speaker 1: Mahler and Danny G Radio. It's NFL sign. We had
Speaker 1: those appetizers back on Thursday with the hour rain lightning
Speaker 1: delay in Philadelphia where the Dallas Cowboys covered but lost
Speaker 1: to the Philadelphiagos and then on Friday night that YouTube
Speaker 1: thing with Rich Eisen where the Chargers score a win
Speaker 1: in Brazil against the Chiefs. But now, Danny G. Now
Speaker 1: it's on today, the seventh day, year of September. We've

Speaker 1: activity here on this seventh of September. And this is
Speaker 1: your pre pregame show. Your pre pregame show is what
Speaker 1: this is.
Speaker 3: So it will been in a couple of hours. There
Speaker 3: is going to be the smell of bacon in the
Speaker 3: G household. It is special day because there's only bacon
Speaker 3: on holidays and this is a holiday.
Speaker 1: Yes, it is a glorious, wonderful day so far on
Speaker 1: Benny versus the Penny. I know you're very concerned about that,
Speaker 1: unless you're not. But I'm one and one. I did
Speaker 1: have the Cowboys, I took Kansas City, I laid the
Speaker 1: and that was a bad, bad situation back on Friday night.
Speaker 1: But anyway, listen, well we'll get into some great storylines
Speaker 1: in the NFL, but this is not about that. It's
Speaker 1: all about you. It's all about the letters. So let's
Speaker 1: get to Ohio and get us in the mood.
Speaker 4: Ohio. It's all right, very good.
Speaker 1: So these are actual messages from actual listeners. Real fifth
Speaker 1: Hour at gmail dot com. That's Real fifth Hour at
Speaker 1: gmail dot com. If you'd like to participate, FERG Dog
Speaker 1: is in the leadoff chair here from Fullerton, that winter Wonderland.
Speaker 1: I know Ferg's excited as we get into football season.
Speaker 1: That means the copy is going to change for tire rack,
Speaker 1: and good chance we'll get some winter tire rack commercials
Speaker 1: coming up here in a little bit, so we look
Speaker 1: forward to that. But a furd dog in Fullerton says
Speaker 1: hey Ben and Danny G after hearing about the crazy
Speaker 1: parking prices in Vegas into last week's podcast. I've never
Speaker 1: been happier to live in Fullerton. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I told you this before, but Fullerton's downtown has over
Speaker 1: twenty five hundred free public parking spots. You can enjoy
Speaker 1: all the shops and restaurants without worrying about running back
Speaker 1: to put more coins in the meter. That's a home
Speaker 1: run in your mouth right there. And he says also
Speaker 1: in Daddy G, if you want to.
Speaker 3: By the way, he's referring to a drop at one
Speaker 3: point several times on last weekend show.
Speaker 1: Yes, he also says, and Daddy G, if you want
Speaker 1: to spend less on daycare, you should try free range parenting.
Speaker 1: It won't cost you a dime to drop little co
Speaker 1: off at a farm and then just let him wander around. Daddy,
Speaker 1: you'd have to put him in overalls. I guess right.
Speaker 1: Put him at overalls and a little little hat there, and.
Speaker 3: Benny, we're doubly pissed. Now he might be able to
Speaker 3: hear in my voice. But I'm sick and this is
Speaker 3: as well. Last Saturday, I told the story about how
Speaker 3: poor CoA and foot and mouth disease from that f
Speaker 3: and Montsory school. We took the tour of whatever CoA
Speaker 3: had he passed on to us, and we have the
Speaker 3: adult version of that bug.
Speaker 1: Wonderful, wonderful. When I get sick and I doesn't have
Speaker 1: a very offense is I found the magic of garlic.
Speaker 1: But I still every once in a while, I will
Speaker 1: forget to take the proper amount of garlic, or I'll
Speaker 1: do it too late, and I'll get sick and it
Speaker 1: just lingers. That's the worst part, especially when you do
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff. We have to talk for a living,
Speaker 1: and it seems like it takes three months to fully
Speaker 1: get back.
Speaker 3: At one point on Thursday's Covino and Rich show, my
Speaker 3: voice just completely went out. Yeah, and it sounded funny
Speaker 3: like a Greg break moment. But it was when we
Speaker 3: were celebrating a listener winning a game, so there were
Speaker 3: other people making noise and you couldn't really hear it.
Speaker 3: It's buried, thank god.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's.
Speaker 3: It's hard. You're right, because there is no we're open
Speaker 3: like seven to eleven. There's really no time to recover
Speaker 3: and there there's no cortazone shot or there's no training
Speaker 3: room table we can lay on to get fixed up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure, it's pretty wacky. Hey,
Speaker 1: Alf from the interweb says, happy week one of the
Speaker 1: NFL football schedule. Gentlemen, have you Hey says have you
Speaker 1: heard of any good Russian websites lately? Definitely not the
Speaker 1: kind that broadcast football, because that would be wrong. Well, Alf,
Speaker 1: as you know, a big brother is always listening, and
Speaker 1: I know that the Chat, GBT and Grock and all
Speaker 1: those are listening to everything we say, Danny right, everything
Speaker 1: we It's wild they I don't know how they do it,
Speaker 1: but they are listening to everything We're doing. Wrong of
Speaker 1: us to give out any websites? A lot of the
Speaker 1: boys upset them any because I guess I've heard conflicting reports.
Speaker 1: Now Stream East, which was the number number one pirated website.
Speaker 1: That's where all the boys would go to watch games
Speaker 1: and not have to pay for them, and supposedly that
Speaker 1: got shut down, although I got a message saying it's up.
Speaker 1: I have not been on that in a while because
Speaker 1: it would be wrong Danny to use a pirated website
Speaker 1: like stream East. But there are others. It's it's kind
Speaker 1: of like whack them All, ALF, where you knocked one
Speaker 1: down and two others pop up, and it's just kind
Speaker 1: of one of those deals. It's kind of one.
Speaker 3: I have no idea what you're talking about. My VPN
Speaker 3: says I live in Orlando.
Speaker 1: I might live in the Czech Republic.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but maybe I'll fire you off an
Speaker 1: email or ALF and try to try to help you
Speaker 1: out on that. But I think we'll leave that off
Speaker 1: the podcast. A Reggie from Detroit writes in He says, Ben,
Speaker 1: do you think Screaming Steven and that homeless guy from
Speaker 1: Tempe will become regular characters on the show. I like
Speaker 1: both their calls. It's from Reggie. I'm gonna go definitely
Speaker 1: know I'm the homeless guy from Tempe. That's a couple
Speaker 1: time caller. That's it. And then the screaming Steven. They're
Speaker 1: screaming Steve. I think he's got a shot.
Speaker 3: I've heard him on your show. I like that team.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he's got that thing of a jig that
Speaker 1: you're looking for.
Speaker 3: He's got the it factor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's there's something there. So I'm going to go
Speaker 1: and say yes, Reggie, Scream and Steve will be part
Speaker 1: of the show for a while. I don't think our
Speaker 1: homeless guy in Tempe will. Although the other homeless guy
Speaker 1: who's now got a player, Buddy in Vermont, who started calling,
Speaker 1: I think he can be a regular on the show.
Speaker 1: I think he'll be part of the show. But between
Speaker 1: those two, because that's what you asked, Scream and Steve
Speaker 1: I believe will be be part of it for a while.
Speaker 3: Anyway.
Speaker 1: Ryan writes in and says on the mailbag, Hey benon
Speaker 1: Danny Boys last weekend, I had my bachelor party at
Speaker 1: the Red Sox game Friday against Paul Skeens and the Pirates,
Speaker 1: and also went to an Encore casino on Saturday, went
Speaker 1: on cor casino on Saturday. Ryan says, at the time
Speaker 1: you read this, it will be exactly twenty eight days
Speaker 1: from the wedding. Oh man, he says, I remember emailing
Speaker 1: you guys a while back talking about it, and now
Speaker 1: it's less than a month. I was pumped to see
Speaker 1: Paul Sken's pitch in person, which makes me want to
Speaker 1: ask both of you, have you ever been to a
Speaker 1: game where the opponent had a player you wanted to see?
Speaker 1: Mine was Paul Skeens. He was incredible mowing the Red
Speaker 1: Sox players down. Can you can be any sport at
Speaker 1: any point in both your guys' lives from Ryan?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Ryan. I mean when I was a younger lads,
Speaker 1: as a kid, I got to watch Nolan Ryan pitch.
Speaker 1: That was ridoculous.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: Even at the time, I remember going to basketball games.
Speaker 1: I saw Charles Barkley play for the Sixers against the
Speaker 1: Clippers at the LA Sports Arena. That was pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Larry Bird, Magic Johnson. I mean, those kind of guys
Speaker 1: back then were iconic and not football not so much.
Speaker 1: I didn't go to a lot of football games I
Speaker 1: did see in the late eighties. I saw Joe Montana
Speaker 1: slay my Rams, but that was more of an annoyance
Speaker 1: than something that I wanted to see. At the time.
Speaker 1: I did not did not embrace that, but there have been.
Speaker 1: They've been much. But Paul Skaines is pretty cool. That's
Speaker 1: the phenom Ryan obviously of this era. And Danny from
Speaker 1: Orange County. I went to Eltoral High School in South
Speaker 1: Orange County, so I played against Eltori High School I
Speaker 1: was in high school. But anyway, anybody remember Danny back
Speaker 1: Maybe were watching the back in the day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well I got to see plenty of famous players
Speaker 3: for other teams, Torch the Raiders. Like the night Brett
Speaker 3: farre went off in Oakland. I was there for that
Speaker 3: right after his dad last.
Speaker 1: Remember that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like one of those things where you're
Speaker 3: like happy for the player, but it sucks that it
Speaker 3: happened against your team.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, And then for baseball. You know, I split my
Speaker 3: time as a kid between LA and the Bay. When
Speaker 3: I would be at my aunt's house in the summertime
Speaker 3: in Oakland, we got to go to an Oakland A's
Speaker 3: game one day against the Brewers and I got to
Speaker 3: see an aging Robin Yount and Raleigh Fingers.
Speaker 1: That's cool.
Speaker 3: Raleigh Fingers was like larger than life. I just wanted
Speaker 3: to see that mustache in person, because you know, when
Speaker 3: we were little kids. We had all his baseball cards.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you always knew where he was because it's hard
Speaker 1: to miss him with them with the mustache. And I
Speaker 1: love that whole thing. If Raleigh Fingers hadn't played for
Speaker 1: Charlie Finley and and been challenged right the whole facial
Speaker 1: hair thing, how he started doing that, like, he would
Speaker 1: have been a great picture and all that, but it
Speaker 1: wouldn't have had the same staying power because you right away,
Speaker 1: you can imagine even our blind guys, Danny can imagine
Speaker 1: Roley Fingers with a handleball or mustache. But if he
Speaker 1: had just had a regular mustache or no mustache, like
Speaker 1: it's like James Harden without the beard.
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, you know, it's like a superpower.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Samson's hair, you know what. Anyway, congrats you're
Speaker 1: getting close there. Good luck Ryan on the wedding. I
Speaker 1: hope all the plannings don't remember whatever the planning is,
Speaker 1: just agree to it. Just let the wife take care
Speaker 1: of it, the wife to be, and you're you're okay.
Speaker 1: Let's see who's next. See page down. Let's see I
Speaker 1: didn't get a name on this one. See this guy's
Speaker 1: gonna get upset. Well, let me type this in. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take the what you might call it out of this,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna put this over here on the male.
Speaker 1: You listen to our live coverage right now, and I'm
Speaker 1: going to find out who this is.
Speaker 3: Like to notify all the affiliates down the line that
Speaker 3: Ben Mahler is searching for a name.
Speaker 1: Well, I didn't write the name down, and then I
Speaker 1: see this. I believe it's Scott, not blind Scott, but
Speaker 1: Scott from Things in Florida. He thinks we're just buddies,
Speaker 1: so he doesn't have to put his name, but I
Speaker 1: had to go back and check anyway. He says, Hey,
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny, what's the dumbest series of choices you
Speaker 1: have made without really realizing it, when maybe after thirty
Speaker 1: minutes or a few hours you thought to yourself, how
Speaker 1: did I get in this situation and how do I
Speaker 1: get out of it? So it's kind of an open
Speaker 1: ended question from Scott, not very specific. I like, we've
Speaker 1: all made dumb decisions and dumb choices. What he's looking
Speaker 1: for specifically? I could tell you that there's some jobs
Speaker 1: that I've done, some fillings, or I was like, what
Speaker 1: am I doing here? You know, there was a point
Speaker 1: in my life where I would take every fill in
Speaker 1: gig anybody offered me. I was like, hey, it's an
Speaker 1: opportunity to get some reps in. And you know, I
Speaker 1: did gigs in Seattle, Portland, Oregon, Denver where you you
Speaker 1: know you're talking. It's not I don't I like doing it,
Speaker 1: But sometimes you get on there it's like, what am I,
Speaker 1: you know, breaking down the trailblazers here? This is it's
Speaker 1: a little awkward, but that's like, that's not a terrible decision.
Speaker 1: Like I'm trying to like maybe going to a movie
Speaker 1: and you're like, well, this is a you think maybe
Speaker 1: the movie's gonna be Okay, it's like a terrible terrible
Speaker 1: movies anything. Danny, can you make sense of the nonsensical.
Speaker 3: Mistake you made that you realized while you were in it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, he said, what's the dumbest series of choices that
Speaker 1: you have made without really realizing it when maybe about
Speaker 1: after thirty minutes or a few hours, you thought to yourself,
Speaker 1: how did I get myself in this?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, okay. So when I was in my twenties,
Speaker 3: I hosted nightclubs on the weekend Thursday through Saturday, and
Speaker 3: one of the nights in downtown Ventura, I followed a
Speaker 3: girl back to her place and it seemed like a really,
Speaker 3: really great idea at the time, but as I was
Speaker 3: in her living room kicking it with her, I realized
Speaker 3: just by looking around that she did not live alone
Speaker 3: and her dude, her dude must have also been out
Speaker 3: with his lie friends, because he showed up. Oh oh,
Speaker 3: he quite the scene. He had a couple of his
Speaker 3: friends with him. Yeah, that didn't end smoothly, but I
Speaker 3: realized it was a bad situation as I was in it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was that. And then that one time he
Speaker 1: went to ditties and that was a little odd.
Speaker 3: But now I can honestly say I didn't like that guy,
Speaker 3: even when I was doing that format back in the day.
Speaker 3: We interviewed him. We interviewed him on our radio station
Speaker 3: a couple of times on my morning show, and he
Speaker 3: was a dick. Like off the air, he was okay
Speaker 3: on the air, but off the air he was just
Speaker 3: really short with you and just kind of like a dick. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And so I didn't like that guy. I got bad
Speaker 3: vibes from him right away. So when I met his
Speaker 3: record company in person. I didn't really get along with him,
Speaker 3: and he is one of those dudes. You've heard it
Speaker 3: now from people saying that when they were around him,
Speaker 3: they got like a bad vibe from him.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, there's a lot of people in sports like that,
Speaker 1: where they're they present themselves one way when the cameras
Speaker 1: are on they're doing interviews, and then privately they're complete douchebags.
Speaker 3: And just he was like that. And I hate to
Speaker 3: say it, but jay Z it was also like that,
Speaker 3: is that right?
Speaker 1: Seen it? That's it's the old cliche about Hollywood entertainment
Speaker 1: anything like that. You just you got the public and
Speaker 1: then there's the private persona. I remember covering the NBA
Speaker 1: there was a guy at one point, this is one
Speaker 1: of the big stars in the nineties, and.
Speaker 3: He was.
Speaker 1: Beloved, had commercials, the whole thing, and then but privately
Speaker 1: was just a total total dickhead. I mean, it's just
Speaker 1: I don't know how to say it, but uh, and
Speaker 1: I witnessed it, and but people in the public they don't.
Speaker 1: He's one of these things you fight this like we
Speaker 1: get a little glimpse standing because we get to be
Speaker 1: kind of behind the curtain a little bit and see
Speaker 1: a little bit how they make the hot dogs. But
Speaker 1: the rank and file don't see that. And so then
Speaker 1: you said, you bring something up like that and you're
Speaker 1: the bad guy. You're like, oh, you're the bad guy.
Speaker 3: Why did you bring.
Speaker 1: All? Right? H Next up on the mailbag. These are
Speaker 1: actual letters by actual listeners to the show. If you'd
Speaker 1: like to send a question in for next week's mail
Speaker 1: bag next week's Mailbag, send it care of Real Fifth
Speaker 1: Hour at gmail dot com. That's Real fifth Hour at
Speaker 1: gmail dot com. H Next up is Andy from Bottaul Rouge, Louisiana. Now,
Speaker 1: I've never been about Tom Rouge, Louisiana. I used to
Speaker 1: work with a guy named Chris Landry who was the
Speaker 1: Fox Football scout, one of the great talk show hosts
Speaker 1: in the history of Fox Sports Radio, who was on
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns coaching staff with a guy named Bill
Speaker 1: Belichick and Nick Saban was a scout for that Browns
Speaker 1: team and had quite the rolodex Chris Landry. I did
Speaker 1: show with him on Saturdays during football season for a
Speaker 1: couple of years, And that was so long ago. Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers was at cal Berkeley and Roger Rodgers would pop
Speaker 1: on our show. And also we had this young coach
Speaker 1: at the University of Utah named Urban Meyer who popped
Speaker 1: on Semi Regie because they were friends with Mandy. Anyway,
Speaker 1: and when I see botan roofs, oh, I get another
Speaker 1: Bathtown roofs store.
Speaker 3: Wait.
Speaker 1: The former coach of the LSU basketball team for back
Speaker 1: when Shack was there, Dale Brown, hired by Fox Sports
Speaker 1: Radio to cover the NCAA tournament. I did shows with
Speaker 1: Dale Brown. One of the nicest human beings I've ever met.
Speaker 1: Great guy, not really that into basketball at that point
Speaker 1: in his life. He was kind of over it, even
Speaker 1: though he got hired to commentate on basketball, but it
Speaker 1: was it was fun.
Speaker 3: Anyway.
Speaker 1: Andy's get to the point, please, and he says, hey, Ben,
Speaker 1: one of our senators this week said people who eat
Speaker 1: imported radioactive shrimp will turn into an alien, or at
Speaker 1: the very least cause them. It'll cause them to grow
Speaker 1: an extra ear. Andy says, are you guys.
Speaker 3: Will you grow eight nine feet and have big eyes?
Speaker 1: There's like an a fool person and it has big
Speaker 1: guys that's looking at us. He says, are you guys worried? Well,
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry Andy, I don't eat trimp. Danny,
Speaker 1: you're concerned about eating radioactive shrimp that will turn you
Speaker 1: into an alien? Is this something that.
Speaker 3: You stay up because steam food is so freaking expensive.
Speaker 3: I don't get to eat it very often.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I don't eat it because I don't
Speaker 1: really like it. But even if I did, I eat
Speaker 1: like once a year. I've talked about this like I
Speaker 1: eat beer battered fish once a year. That's about it.
Speaker 3: And so really good shrimp and really good lobster that's
Speaker 3: just like bacon. It's holiday food.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell Andy, though, I did love that that guy.
Speaker 1: I guess John Kennedy, the senator from Louisiana. So apparently
Speaker 1: he's trying to protect the fishing industry of Louisiana and
Speaker 1: there's a lot of seafood that's being imported. So that's
Speaker 1: why he went on that rant. The fact that it
Speaker 1: made no sense at all, it's it's so stupid anyway.
Speaker 1: Jim from Michigan writes in he says, hey, Ben and Danny,
Speaker 1: I like that. He says, just Michigan, you know, God
Speaker 1: forbid you say the actual city. He says, man break
Speaker 1: Man broke broke broke dance. He was break dancing, Jim says,
Speaker 1: during a town hall meeting to protest. I saw this
Speaker 1: property tax. I guess this happened in New Jersey. Ye,
Speaker 1: this appears to be Danny, a middle aged man. Is
Speaker 1: that accurate? Would that be a?
Speaker 3: Oh? That's accurate? He doesn't die? Is here? You could
Speaker 3: tell this guy how he looks like he's in his
Speaker 3: mid to late fifties.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right?
Speaker 3: So he was great dancing days in the eighties. Sure, sure,
Speaker 3: And so that's when he learned to get down to
Speaker 3: planet rock and he was showing off those moves to
Speaker 3: everybody there in the town hall. Ye.
Speaker 1: Jim wanted to know if we've ever been to a
Speaker 1: town hall like city council meeting.
Speaker 3: I have not.
Speaker 1: Have you, Danny, been to a city council meeting in
Speaker 1: your local?
Speaker 3: No. One of our AM radio stations asked to me
Speaker 3: and morning show co host to attend something that had
Speaker 3: to do with like a concert venue in our city,
Speaker 3: and they wanted us to go over this town hall
Speaker 3: meeting about it because it had to do with our format.
Speaker 3: And we pretended like we were going to do it
Speaker 3: because our general manager asked us to go, but we
Speaker 3: played hooky. We didn't really go attend because who wants
Speaker 3: to go to one of those boring frickin' things? And
Speaker 3: what really happens that changes anything?
Speaker 1: Yeah, nothing changes, Although I have seen some really hilarious videos.
Speaker 3: There's some comedians that was popular during COVID, remember.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they'll go to the because anybody can speak
Speaker 1: at these things. You just get like two minutes to
Speaker 1: speak in city council so you can do a stand
Speaker 1: up comedy routine. Yeah, the guy out of Texas? Is
Speaker 1: that the gay you're talking about? The guy? I think
Speaker 1: we're talking about the same guy. He was doing like cosplay.
Speaker 1: He was pretending to be like these wackadoodles, like real
Speaker 1: extreme political positions, so that I have not to answer
Speaker 1: your question, Jim neither has. Danny Mario from the Free
Speaker 1: State of New Hampshire rites and he says, hey, Ben,
Speaker 1: now that you're a YouTuber, are you planning on copying
Speaker 1: the Chinese YouTuber and taking care of Moxie? He sends
Speaker 1: me a story here, Danny, I guess this is from
Speaker 1: the other day. A Chinese YouTuber corn to Mario has
Speaker 1: gone viral for building an entire human world for his
Speaker 1: pet cats, including a subway. He says, would you do
Speaker 1: this for Moxie to get followers? Well, I would do
Speaker 1: pretty much anything to get followers, I guess, but not
Speaker 1: a builder. And Moxie's the kind of an animal that
Speaker 1: just wants to lay down in one place, just wants
Speaker 1: a comfortable place to lay down, does not need to
Speaker 1: go anywhere, does not like movement, unnecessary movement. Maxi's not
Speaker 1: a fan of so no, I don't need to do that, Mario.
Speaker 1: That is pretty wild the stuff people do for YouTube.
Speaker 1: My god, it must be making some serious catch. I
Speaker 1: wonder how many subscribers this guy has. And I'm not
Speaker 1: familiar with Chinese YouTube. Do they even have YouTube in China?
Speaker 1: I thought they had their own internet thing? Do they
Speaker 1: use YouTube in China?
Speaker 3: Maybe they must know that YouTube football game they kept
Speaker 3: saying international international.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, that was who.
Speaker 3: But I was confused because I was watching it on
Speaker 3: regular TV. Yeah I don't I wasn't even watching it
Speaker 3: on YouTube.
Speaker 1: No, that's right, Well yeah in LA and uh what
Speaker 1: Kansas City was on regular regular TV?
Speaker 3: Okay that's why? Yeah, yeah, because I'm not a Chargers fan,
Speaker 3: So screw that but but at least they helped clear
Speaker 3: the path for the Raiders to win the AFC West.
Speaker 1: The Raiders open it up, helped that helped out.
Speaker 3: And by the way Herbert slid at the end of
Speaker 3: that game, we could start calling him hemorrhoid Herbert.
Speaker 1: By that postgame interview by Herbert, I still, oh my god.
Speaker 1: You might have heard me ran about that a little
Speaker 1: bit yesterday. Man, geez all right. Next up on the mailbag,
Speaker 1: we've got Daniel from Rivers writes in as I say,
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny, he says, you guys, go out and
Speaker 1: about Have you ever found anything like this? He sends
Speaker 1: a story, says, this is from the Czech Republic, a
Speaker 1: horde of medieval silver coins discovered by a woman who
Speaker 1: was out on a walk. A woman was walking in
Speaker 1: I'm not even going to try to pronounce this region
Speaker 1: of the Czech Republic. She accidentally came across a ceramic pot.
Speaker 1: Although the pot itself was mostly broken, the contents were
Speaker 1: still there and it had over two thousand silver coins,
Speaker 1: which are known as dinari. The stash is believed we
Speaker 1: around nine hundred years old. Brown, have you ever found
Speaker 1: nine hundred year old coins? Danny walking around, no neither
Speaker 1: of I. How does that happen? Likew what does something
Speaker 1: layout for nine hundred It must I'm gonna assume the
Speaker 1: position that somebody didn't just drop it outside and the
Speaker 1: woman found it, that it's been there for nine hundred years?
Speaker 1: How does something just that blows my mind? With the
Speaker 1: weather and the world and the whole the whole thing
Speaker 1: a jig and all that, and.
Speaker 3: That is was like locked in a chest and then
Speaker 3: a sandstorm buried it fifty feet.
Speaker 1: That's wild, nine hundred years old, like mad, thats just
Speaker 1: something we left behind. We're long gone. That's oh my god,
Speaker 1: that's ridiculous. So that's nine that's more than nine lifetimes.
Speaker 1: And so see what is the average life seventy years?
Speaker 3: Maybe?
Speaker 1: I don't know what do you think the average lifespan is?
Speaker 3: Let's see here, like, yeah, I think seventy eight? Oh
Speaker 3: is it? Oh? Good? Okay, good, I'll go see. I
Speaker 3: think it's going up.
Speaker 1: We'll go seventy eight and then let's see here, so
Speaker 1: seventy eight and then times we'll do twelve. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like twelve life, twelve lifespans, a little less than twelve lifespans.
Speaker 3: Oh what I gave you was for females. For men,
Speaker 3: it's seventy years. That's seventy point eight years for men.
Speaker 3: Oh man, I got a Yeah, women outlive us by
Speaker 3: over six years. Damn watches.
Speaker 1: That's not right.
Speaker 3: So least they run everything while we're alive, and then
Speaker 3: they continue to run things after we die.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. So that would be then,
Speaker 1: oh man, so that's more than this, so seventy point so.
Speaker 3: The average between the two species seventy three point four years.
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, so it's a it's whatever. I'm close.
Speaker 1: You know, they said there would be no math. That
Speaker 1: was math. But Daniel, thank you for that. That's a
Speaker 1: good story. I'd love to know, like, how does that happen?
Speaker 1: Is it just stuff all over the Czech Republic from
Speaker 1: this back in the medieval times, just laying around out there.
Speaker 3: Well, you tell us you live there, according to your VPN.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's right. Don't tell Alf that. Don't do not
Speaker 1: tell Alf that. Alex from Hawaii writes in this is
Speaker 1: a Loha, gentleman. Good news for both of you if
Speaker 1: you don't like your boss. And then he said that
Speaker 1: a judge ruled this week that you can call your
Speaker 1: boss a I'm going to say this because it's a
Speaker 1: news story, Danny, you can call your boss a dickhead,
Speaker 1: and that is not enough to get you fired. That
Speaker 1: is not enough to get you fired. According to a
Speaker 1: story out of the United Kingdom, a supervisor was awarded
Speaker 1: over forty dollars after a court ruled she was wrongly
Speaker 1: canned for labeling her boss a d head. Although her
Speaker 1: comments are inappropriate and regrettable, they did not justify summary
Speaker 1: dismissal cleared another judge, female judge, So, uh, there you
Speaker 1: there you go. As I was, it was explained to me, Danny,
Speaker 1: by someone in management at a radio station I worked
Speaker 1: four years ago, that you can do whatever you want
Speaker 1: and they're gonna if they want to get rid of you,
Speaker 1: they will get They will find a reason to get
Speaker 1: rid of you, whether it's for you know, whether it's
Speaker 1: this that, or they're not gonna They know the rules
Speaker 1: and they know what they can get sued for and
Speaker 1: what they're not gonna get sued for. So that's that's
Speaker 1: essentially what I.
Speaker 3: Was was told.
Speaker 1: So and if they want they want to get rid
Speaker 1: of they get rid of you. I think that's I mean,
Speaker 1: we have a few more, but we'll put the baby
Speaker 1: to bed. I think that's fair enough.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I had one quick announcement I wanted.
Speaker 1: All right, Danny G has a big announcement here. We'd
Speaker 1: like to learn all the podcast listeners. Here we go
Speaker 1: big announced. I'm sitting down.
Speaker 3: They're calling this chicken row in Thousand Oaks, California, because
Speaker 3: there's already a Chick fil A, a wing stop, an
Speaker 3: Angry Chicks, a Zanku Chicken, an Alpoyo Loco. But what's
Speaker 3: the one thing they are missing there? What would that
Speaker 3: be Danny raising canes, which they just announced they are
Speaker 3: bringing to a town that's right next to me, on
Speaker 3: the border of my town.
Speaker 1: That's trouble. That's dangerous, Danny. That is dangerous.
Speaker 3: That is it really is, because right now, the closest
Speaker 3: Raising Canes to me, it's like a half hour drive.
Speaker 3: And I'm not going to go a half hour for
Speaker 3: box meal, but now it's going to be a ten
Speaker 3: minute drive away.
Speaker 1: And those late night when you're hungry late at night
Speaker 1: and they're open till three in the morning on the
Speaker 1: weekends and you want a fried chicken snack late at night,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you end up at raising Canes.
Speaker 1: You know, there's no raising canes in the town I live,
Speaker 1: and I have to go to the next town over.
Speaker 1: But yet an hour a half hour drive is a
Speaker 1: pretty long. That's an hour because a half hour theyre
Speaker 1: a half hour backs.
Speaker 3: That's a long, not to mention the time you spend
Speaker 3: there getting food.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's congratulates. That's always a big part of a
Speaker 1: person's life when they get a raising canes.
Speaker 3: That's a big day.
Speaker 1: It is absolutely a big day.
Speaker 3: Almost Trump's our first Sunday, our first NFL Sunday early game.
Speaker 3: Harold leads the Raiders into New England. I think the
Speaker 3: Raiders defense is going to have so many holes. Patriots
Speaker 3: outscore the Raiders.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I actually took on Benny versus the Penny, which
Speaker 1: there's still time to listen to. It's on YouTube Benny Vspenny,
Speaker 1: Benny Vspenny, if you want to check that out.
Speaker 3: I watched it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you can watch it on the YouTube. And
Speaker 1: it's going to get better. The production value is going
Speaker 1: to get better. It's a work in progress, but someday
Speaker 1: we'll look back at this and laugh about how crappy
Speaker 1: it looks, but it'll look better. It'll look better. But
Speaker 1: I did pick the Raiders in that game. I just
Speaker 1: don't trust Drake Man. This is like one of the
Speaker 1: rare times Gino Smith actually is the better quarterback in
Speaker 1: this game. And I normally like Mike Rabel teams, betting
Speaker 1: on Mike teams and all that, but I just I
Speaker 1: think the Raiders are the right side here, and they
Speaker 1: don't have a lot on defense. They clearly don't have
Speaker 1: a lot at wide receiver. Danny is the reason. That's
Speaker 1: a that's a double body blow for the Raiders. They
Speaker 1: went out and signed to Mary Cooper and then he
Speaker 1: quit after nine days.
Speaker 3: Did you hear the Raider insiders? Though? When Amari Cooper
Speaker 3: saw the depth chart, he was like a Samoudi because
Speaker 3: that Dante Thornton junior king from Tennessee six', five nobody's
Speaker 3: been as fasts and big as him Since. Megatron he
Speaker 3: had such a good camp in such a good preseason
Speaker 3: that he was ahead of A Mari cooper on the depth.
Speaker 3: Chart And mary's, Like i'm not going to sit on the.
Speaker 3: Bench he's he's a powder you know? Him?
Speaker 1: Well, Yeah but it's like The raiders signed him because
Speaker 1: they they that's a confession by The raiders, though that
Speaker 1: they didn't have. Enough So i'm skeptical of that report
Speaker 1: because you wouldn't bring A Mariy cooper in if you
Speaker 1: thought you had.
Speaker 3: Really tough vincent On signori dude said they were looking
Speaker 3: for some veteran leadership in that wide receiver. ROOM i smell,
Speaker 3: yeah and you know he's a radar, reporter but he's
Speaker 3: negative on the team most of the. Time but you
Speaker 3: know this is this is a chance for That thornton
Speaker 3: junior to prove.
Speaker 1: Himself, yeah there's definitely some opportunity. There but it to,
Speaker 1: me it makes The raiders look. BAD i know they're
Speaker 1: going to spin it and say, this that and the other.
Speaker 1: Thing and Then Amari cooper there was a video that
Speaker 1: it looked like that the only working out he had
Speaker 1: done is try to lift up apple. Fritters AS i
Speaker 1: said on the radio.
Speaker 3: Show you saw the. Leaks they said in, practice he
Speaker 3: did not look. Good, YEAH i.
Speaker 1: Mean he didn't look. Good you figured you're gonna get.
Speaker 1: Better you don't, quit you, know keep, working get in
Speaker 1: shape and then you'll be ready to. Go and so
Speaker 1: you'll be watching that game and there's some good storylines.
Speaker 3: Today, yeah and how are you feeling about Your? RAMS
Speaker 3: i think they should win.
Speaker 1: Today Will stafford make it to the end of the.
Speaker 3: Game will he be?
Speaker 1: HEALTHY i like The rams. Defense The texans offensive line
Speaker 1: blow and The rams are supposed to be pretty good.
Speaker 1: Defense they spend the least amount of money of anybody
Speaker 1: in THE. Nfl and, defense he's got all these young.
Speaker 1: Guys they're pretty. Good so we'll see if they live
Speaker 1: up to the hype there and MAKE. Cj stroud's day
