He's the last remnants 3 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: of the old Republic a sole fashion of fairness. He 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:20,240 Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of hot takes, 6 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben 7 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: Maller starts right now in the air everywhere on a 8 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: championship Sunday in the National Football League. Think of this 9 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: as your pregame show without the x former NFL guys 10 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: and without the chuckles.

Is that the most 16 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: annoying thing when the announcers are like, yeah, it's a 17 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: right ankle injury. So let's go down to the sideline 18 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 1: with so and so and then go down. Yes, it's 19 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: a right ankle injury. He's in the tent. Yeah, we 20 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: know it's a right ankle injury. Don't go to the 21 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: sideline reporters, Ben, unless it's some ship we have not 22 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: heard yet. Now I love the sideline. I got a 23 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: buddy of mine that is a news, old newspaper guy 24 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: like journalists, like real journalism, back in the old days 25 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: before newspapers became you know, ghost ships, and he will 26 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: text me after the NFL game. Because almost every these 27 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: NFL games, almost every one of the first recorders, first 28 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: question from the reporters how does it feel? How does 29 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: it feel? That's like the number one questioned it. It 30 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: drives him, It drives him insane. What was going through 31 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: your mind on that final drive? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 32 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: yeah yeah. It's like, well, I was trying to score. 33 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: We were trying to score because we were down and 34 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: we had to score or else we were lost the game. 35 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: So I was trying to score. But it's like, you 36 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: don't have to go to some high falutin journalism school 37 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: if your first question is going to be how did 38 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: it feel? You know, you don't know, I could get 39 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: any schmow out of the crowd asked that question. And 40 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: the most fascinating thing is a lot of these sideline 41 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 1: reporters think that they're gonna win the Pulitzer Prize for 42 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: Journalism with this line of questioning. It's fascinating to me. 43 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 1: They've convinced themselves that their job is essential and these 44 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: questions are very important and we as football fans would 45 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: not be able to survive without them. And I'm like, wow, 46 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: whatever floats your boat. But I hate to hate to 47 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: be the bear of bad news. But spoiler alert, yeah, 48 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: we were the first fifth hour interview after the football 49 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: is on hiatus, Shannon Spake, that'll be you, Danny. I'll 50 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: be taking that weekend off. You'll have to handle that. No, no, no, 51 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: I know some of these people and they're fine, but 52 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 1: it's just you're not You're not moving mountains here, neither 53 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: or I'm gonna do a sports radio show in the 54 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: middle of the night. I'm not moving mountains. But at 55 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: least I don't. I don't pretend, Danny. I don't pretend 56 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: like I am moving mountains. I don't sit there and 57 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: think somehow that these are amazing questions. And a lot 58 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: of these sideline reporters they're like they're like hugging the 59 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: players and stuff. They're like, buddy, buddy, it's like the 60 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: it's like the the w w ET or something. It's crazy. 61 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: I'm friends with Shannon. I'd like to say she does 62 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: a fine job, but there's just sometimes where the reporting 63 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: is just brainless to me. Yeah, well the thing that 64 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: me and when I when I used to get up 65 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: early on Sunday with Looney and we did the Football 66 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: Show for years. It's like seven or eight years we 67 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: did that show. But with Looney we would watch the 68 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: pregame shows and they actually on Fox Sports Radio. They 69 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: carry the Fox Pregame Show. And the amount of laughter, 70 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: like and I don't mind a good belly laugh, but 71 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: on everything's funny, you don't have to laugh at everything. 72 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: And these guys would laugh at everything. It was like chuckles. 73 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: Its wild, It's like can studio laughter. It was insane. Anyway, 74 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: we've got mail enough of that. Now that we've bashed 75 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: the NFL television, I think we can move on. Yes, yes, yes, yes, indeed, 76 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: we'll change it up a little bit. We'll get right 77 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: to the mail bag. These are actual listener questions from 78 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: actual listeners like yourself, and we love when we get 79 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: questions from people that aren't regulars. We like, we enjoy 80 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: our regulars, but it's always nice to hear some new 81 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: names pop up on our radar or some people that 82 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: only email occasionally from time to time. Life keeps you 83 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: busy and you can't send questions in all the time. 84 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: So the way you can contact us very simple. It's 85 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: Ben Mallard Show at Gmail. I don't know that's not 86 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: It's Ben mallow Show on Facebook. I was screwed it 87 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: up so easy. I screwed it up. It's Ben Mallard 88 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: Show on the Facebook page and then real fifth we're 89 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: at gmail dot com. I wanted to mention we didn't 90 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: get to this. We ran out of time yesterday on 91 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: the Saturday podcast. But we did actually get a great 92 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: review from on Backscratcher. We got one review on the 93 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: Apple podcast page, which is what we're really gunning for 94 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: and a couple of weeks would be great, and this 95 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: one said it gave us five stars, a must listen 96 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: on the weekends. It says the Ben Mallard Podcast. Though 97 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: we misspelled my name, but that's auto correctly when you 98 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: when you put my name in it auto corrects the 99 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: Ben Mallett. I don't know why, but the they my name. 100 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: According to the algorithm is mallet anyway, so he says. 101 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: Ben Mallett podcast is a great podcast listen to. Danny 102 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: G is the perfect co host with great relatable stories 103 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: as well as old school radio DJ stories. I really 104 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: enjoy the stories about when Ben started as a radio 105 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: stringer and his eventual rise. I like what he says 106 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: in quotes rise to now hosting a nationally syndicated overnight 107 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: radio show. Danny G brings his own sauce with awesome 108 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: stories about his daily life, his other career, and awesome 109 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: stories about the beginnings as a radio DJ. Love the 110 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: mail bag and the new pop goes the culture segment. 111 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: Highly recommend this podcast. Dominican Mike, our guy, Dominican Mike. 112 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: That's one of the nicest reviews we've gotten. It's very kind. 113 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: Dominican Mike is one of the great characters, and I'm 114 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: bummed out he has a day job. But I love 115 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: that guy, and I love when he was in our 116 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: rotation of callers because he lived in Arizona part of 117 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: the time, lived in Tampa, Florida. I think he's in 118 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: Florida now full time, but he's working the dreaded day 119 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: shift and we had a great time. I remember when 120 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: Dominican Mike tried to take the oath, but he was 121 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: either tired or in debriated, or maybe a little bit 122 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: of both, and he really struggled. He was bouncing off 123 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: the walls there. Did not go well, but it made 124 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: for hilarious audio that we still play to this day. 125 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: And it's been several years and we still play that 126 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: audio from Dominican Mike. It's tremendous. When some listeners asked 127 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: the question what happened to this regular or that regular. 128 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: A lot of the times, day jobs get in the way, 129 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: but the beauty of podcasting is they're still listening, just 130 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: at a different time. Yeah, it is really cool because 131 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: very rarely will someone listen to like Cowherd and be 132 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,119 Speaker 1: loyal to him and then go to the overnight shift. 133 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: Normally that doesn't happen. It's it's usually the other way. 134 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: People work overnight for a little bit, then they'll go 135 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: to the day shift, and so it's it's cool. We've 136 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,239 Speaker 1: got a lot I got people have emailed me Danny 137 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: that listen ten twelve years ago, I guess longer now. 138 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: Years keep adding up, and but they're still that they've 139 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: worked during the day. They got normally, got married and 140 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: had kids. Used to they were in their twenties working overnight, 141 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: trying to make money at the grocery store. And then 142 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: now they're they're all grown up and they got there 143 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: their families, but they still listen. That's kind of cool. 144 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: I liked it. I love that. So alright, what do 145 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: we have in the mail bag?

Next up, Barry in Nashville rights 257 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: and he says, yo yo mo, Benny, you talk a 258 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: lot about in a minute fasting. Have you hit your 259 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: weight goal or are you still trying to lose more weight? Yeah, 260 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: so I don't really wit myself. I I know when 261 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: my clothes get a little tight that I've gained too 262 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: much weight. Um. Pretty happy with where I am right now. 263 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: I probably like to lose a little more weight, and 264 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: doctors will tell you to lose weight. But I did 265 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: have a bunch of blood tests done about a year 266 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: and a half ago, and surprisingly I was doing pretty 267 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: well for my age and all that. Um, so it's 268 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: it's more about my michigasp berry where I'm afraid if 269 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: I eat three meals in a day that I'm gonna 270 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: gain all the weight back in like two days, you know, 271 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: and all that. So it's really more about my neurosis 272 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: than anything else. And on the weekends, I'll eat a 273 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: couple of meals, but during the week I'm pretty religious. 274 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: Like at the time we're doing this podcast, I have 275 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: not eaten in over forty hours, so you know, what 276 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: the hell? Next up, Fred from Spring Texas Rights, and 277 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: he says, hey, there, guys, how has the rise of 278 00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: advertising revenue through sports gambling businesses affected the radio business? 279 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: Has it changed the way you cover sports? So that's 280 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: a that's a pretty good question from our guy, Fred. 281 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: It's been wonderful for for what we do, it's been great. 282 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: It's influx of cash and these gambling companies like we're 283 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: associated on on our show with DraftKings and they're a 284 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: big sponsor and they spend a lot of a lot 285 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: of advertising dollars on Fox Sports Radio. We're very grateful 286 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: that for that. And yeah, I heard Coop do a 287 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: live read for them on your show. Well, Koop knows 288 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: how to make the advertiser very happy. As you know, Danny, 289 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: I wish I could pull off those suits. Uh but 290 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: but no, And in all in all seriousness, it's been wonderful. 291 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: It's I'm trying to think, what's the comparison, and we've 292 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: both been in the business a long time, Danny, is 293 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: there's something else that can match what we've got right 294 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: now because it's just this big influx of cash. Yeah, 295 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: I guess some money here. I would think maybe when 296 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 1: the dot com things started and people were advertising, was 297 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: it pets dot com and some of those early websites 298 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: where they were trying to get people to go to 299 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: them and they'd buy radio spots. The other one, Ben, 300 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,479 Speaker 1: and you can attest to this because I'm sure you 301 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: did your share of live remotes at cell phone stores. Yes, yes, 302 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: oh my god. Yeah, when the smartphone face came around. Yes, 303 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: all these little cell phone stores were battling with each other, 304 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 1: all had their run times on radio stations. I remember 305 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 1: there would be certain saturdays where we would be at 306 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: two different cell phone stores broadcasting live. Yeah. I totally 307 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: forgot about you. That's a great call by you. Yeah, 308 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: I remember we were. We used to go when I 309 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: was doing local radio because it was the nineties when 310 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 1: these things kind of came on the scene, and we 311 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: we were like a T and T store in Santa 312 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 1: Monica on his Saturday morning. But then we do a 313 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 1: remote from uh what was the other I'm trying to 314 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: I'm having a blank on the other phone. But it 315 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 1: was another one of the big phone companies, and we would, 316 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: uh yeah, just show up, get people to come down 317 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: and buy a phone. And it was brilliant because once 318 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,360 Speaker 1: you get locked in with a type of phone. It's 319 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: very difficult to cross old like on the smartphone thing. 320 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: If you're an iPhone person, you're an iPhone person, and 321 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: if you're an Android person, they're an Android person. And 322 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: those were back in the days when people had blackberries, 323 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: remember the black thing. That was big for business people. 324 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: And there were still mon pop shops at the time 325 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 1: who carried all the different kinds of phones. Obviously they 326 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: just had agreements and licensing with all the different carriers. 327 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: So we had big stores, little ones, mob pop, corporate. 328 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: It didn't matter. They were all trying to sling these phones. 329 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: So I remember hot dogs, three hot dogs for an 330 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: hour with with the DJ table out right in front 331 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: of the cell phone store, and of course they were 332 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: giving away a free phone by the end of the 333 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: broadcast and big sale that day on on service and 334 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 1: you know you can trade your phone in or whatever. 335 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: Do we spend hours and hours at those dumb stores, 336 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: Yeah I did. I totally forgot about that, But that 337 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: was a huge thing for radio, and the phone thing 338 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: came around, and um, you know, the sports radio business model. 339 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: As far as covering sports, I've always been into gambling, 340 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: but there is a fine line it's really like threatened 341 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: a needle, because if you do too much gambling, it's 342 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: a nightmare. Nobody wants to listen to it, so you 343 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: really have to. And people tune in for the sports 344 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: that that you know Dud's been on games I get 345 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: I do we do this podcast. We have Benny Versus 346 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 1: the Penny. But the way I've always approached it, even 347 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: on Benny Versus the Penny, it's more about the matchup 348 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: and the you know, the mental part of it. When 349 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 1: you some of these gambling shows and I have friends 350 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: of mine to do these things, Danny, it's like you 351 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: do a hard oh sports gambling show.

Would you cast who you cast 531 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: to play you? Um? I don't know. I mean, jeez, 532 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: that's I don't know that I love radio, Dan, I 533 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: don't know. I'm gonna watch that movie though, I don't know. Man, 534 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: do you think that's worth a watch? It's free? He 535 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: had kind of a Larry King vibe to him there 536 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 1: when he was trying to be on the air. Um, 537 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 1: you know, I think I think John c Riley would 538 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 1: do a good job playing you. Uh, screw you? All right? 539 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 1: Who would play you? Daniel? Who Who would playing Tone Loco? 540 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: What do we? What do we done? Look?

You kid? And 544 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 1: I listen, I know that we're on a podcast now, 545 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 1: But you can't have that kind of drama on a 546 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 1: podcast because a podcast is typically recorded and all that. 547 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: But like that's I mean, there are people to this 548 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,479 Speaker 1: day and and and a radio is an it's an 549 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: interesting media. And people listen online a lot, not so 550 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,400 Speaker 1: much on traditional radio. But we still get people that 551 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: scan the dial that call up at three in the 552 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 1: morning that are like, hey, you want to talk and 553 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: I you know, it's it's like it's really wild. Um, 554 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: but thank you for that. Chris from Parts Unknown rights 555 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 1: in he says, guys, have you ever been selected for 556 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: the Nielsen's I was this fall and made twenty five 557 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 1: dollars off of them. As far as they know, I 558 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: only consume the Ben Maller Show content, so technically it 559 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: does pay to listen to the show. Well, thank you, Chris. 560 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 1: I don't know that you're allowed to say that, but 561 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: I guess it's after the fact. Yeah, I mean afterwards, 562 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: if a listener says something about it, we can't do 563 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 1: anything about that. If a listener says something to us 564 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 1: while they have what's called a diary, then we're supposed 565 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 1: to immediately put our fingers into our ears or AirPod 566 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 1: tips and say la la la la la la la. 567 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 1: I can hear you la la la la.

You you have 570 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 1: anything to do with ratings and radio, you're not allowed 571 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: to talk to radio people about it. Yeah, that's not 572 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: that's not something that's supposed to happen there for sure. Uh, 573 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 1: let's see what else we have. We can't be selected 574 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 1: to answer his question. Yes, yes, no, we work for 575 00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 1: a radio station. You can't do the ratings. Yeah, out 576 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: your wish. You would write Ben Mallard, Ben Mallard, Ben Maller, 577 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:11,399 Speaker 1: you would write Danny G, Danny G, Danny G. And uh, 578 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 1: I remember back in the nineties, there was a guy 579 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: that got caught like his family got a ratings diary 580 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: and they filled it out and he got a lot 581 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 1: of a lot of trouble, a lot of hiri in. Okay, 582 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 1: see write since this dear Ben and Danny G. I 583 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 1: write this with a heavy heart due to the fact 584 00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: that I'm a Dallas Cowboy fan. So how do you 585 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: guys remain fans of the Clippers and Raiders? He says 586 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: with utter disappointment, looming around the corner. Remember I'm a 587 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: Cowboy fan, he says. I'm thirty two years old. I 588 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: was born in so I witnessed their greatness, but have 589 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 1: no memory as I was like five years old. I 590 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 1: respect real die hard fans, same as Danny g I 591 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,280 Speaker 1: have my team's tattooed on me for life, just asking 592 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:08,720 Speaker 1: as a real heartbroken fan. That's from Kyrie and okay, 593 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 1: see well, Kyrie, I feel your pain. Although as the Cowboys, 594 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 1: it's a little different, Like the Clippers are never supposed 595 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: to win, what is still wrong with the Clippers? The 596 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: Cowboys are always supposed to win, So it's a different 597 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 1: situation between those two teams. But you have to go 598 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 1: through as a fan. You have to go through the 599 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 1: stages of of grief, right, denial, anger, depression, bargaining, all 600 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 1: that stuff, and then you finally accept it and then 601 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: you forget about it for a while, and then the 602 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: next season comes around you're like, well, this is gonna 603 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,879 Speaker 1: be our year, al right, is gonna be our year? 604 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: And then that's how you do it when you haven't 605 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: made the playoffs in a long time, or you went 606 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: like the Raiders did and they were one and done. 607 00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: Against the Bengals. You're you're happy that your team's moving 608 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 1: in the right direction. And unless you work for the team, 609 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,400 Speaker 1: unless you're a part owner of the team, you can't 610 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,919 Speaker 1: let it run your life. You can't let it ruin 611 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 1: your life. So as passionate as we are about sports 612 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 1: and our favorite teams, I think there's a certain maturity 613 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,840 Speaker 1: and thick skin. Ben. Part of it is working for 614 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,799 Speaker 1: a sports radio network. I could have never did this 615 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 1: in my early twenties. In my early twenties, if the 616 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:33,799 Speaker 1: Raiders lost on Sunday, I mourned for three days. I 617 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,280 Speaker 1: want to talk about it for three days. Now. I've 618 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 1: learned in the past ten years how to talk about 619 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,799 Speaker 1: the losing while the losing is happening, because I've been 620 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 1: in there on a Sunday while they're puking on TV 621 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 1: and I'm part of the crew that's on the air. 622 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,239 Speaker 1: So you quickly have to learn how to deal with 623 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,439 Speaker 1: it and and learn to laugh about it. And it's 624 00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 1: just part of life. Yeah, Like you know, as you said, 625 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 1: you don't work for the team, and you know you 626 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 1: you learn, like the Dodgers won the World Series, the 627 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:07,799 Speaker 1: Rams have won the Super Bowl, like you know, as 628 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 1: great as that is and as happy as you are, like, 629 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 1: it doesn't necessarily change your life. You still have the 630 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 1: same things you had. You just you know, you're a 631 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 1: little happier because your team won. But it's not like 632 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: you don't get a ring. You don't get the bonus 633 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: when they didn't. It actually cost you money because you 634 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 1: gotta go by this the Super Bowl champion had or 635 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 1: the World Series championship or whatever. It's a good problem 636 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 1: to have. But that's funny you say that, because what 637 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,760 Speaker 1: would be awesome? What if it was like this with sports? 638 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,400 Speaker 1: If we're die hard fans and we signed up, filled 639 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,240 Speaker 1: out some sort of application and we've had a proven 640 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: track record. When our team won the Super Bowl, not 641 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 1: only did we go to the parade, but we got 642 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 1: a year paid for our job and we just got 643 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,759 Speaker 1: a year off to celebrate. Oh yeah, now that would 644 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 1: be that would be outstanding. You have that. That would 645 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 1: crank things up a couple of notch is there.

Uh. Yeah, 654 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 1: I used to eat a lot when I did in 655 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,680 Speaker 1: the evening show at Baja Fresh. I think that's a 656 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,839 Speaker 1: national chain. Isn't a Fresh national chain? I think so? 657 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 1: You seet a lot of the taco back in the day. 658 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:50,320 Speaker 1: I don't know what are your go to Mexican chain 659 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 1: fast food type places.

I will go get a bean and 662 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 1: cheese burrito with no onions, one crunchy taco boom. It's 663 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,800 Speaker 1: a small snack and a good one, and it's roughly 664 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,920 Speaker 1: four dollars in seventy cents. And how much was it 665 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 1: when you first started buying it? Uh? Dollar twenty nine 666 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 1: for the burrito and probably a dollar for the taco.

Yeah, wonderful. 668 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,320 Speaker 1: Uh No, Chipotle for you, you know, not not a big 669 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:35,719 Speaker 1: Chippotle person. I like it while I'm eating it, but 670 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 1: I've always felt kind of weird after eating their food, 671 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 1: like it sits in my stomach like a rock. When 672 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,799 Speaker 1: I did the Night Show back in my big eating days, 673 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,319 Speaker 1: we used to eat Baja Fresh at night. We'd have 674 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:48,839 Speaker 1: the intern go out and get it. And those days 675 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,799 Speaker 1: you didn't have food delivery, so the intern had to 676 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 1: give the intern the order. They go to the Baja Fresh, 677 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 1: they'd order the food and all that, and this this 678 00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 1: one intern would always funk up my order. It was 679 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,360 Speaker 1: so annoying. Man. It was I like, no vegetables and 680 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,160 Speaker 1: they put extra vegetables.
