1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:01,480
Speaker 1: Kabooms.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 2: of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: Wow.

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.

10
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: In the a Everywhere and a Happy Football Sunday. It

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: is week eleven of the NFL. It actually started the

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: other day on Thursday with Joe Burrow's wrist getting all

13
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: clunky and all that with that Ravens and Bengals game.

14
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: But we had a full slate of football action. The

15
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny g were here

16
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: every single weekend. You hear me late at night recording

17
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: my podcast in the middle of the night, the Ben

18
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: Maler Show on radio, and then Danny G's on during

19
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: the day with Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio.

20
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: And we joined forces and we go together like mac

21
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: and cheese on the weekends and all that. And you

22
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: might be eating mac and cheese this week. Thanksgiving. Neal

23
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 1: who knows. But today on this Sunday podcast, you were correct, Danny.

24
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: I was so flustered by you bringing up animal thunderdome

25
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: possibly coming back that I failed the listener. I did

26
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: not get to the phrase of the week. I did

27
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: not get to the phrase of the week. Does a

28
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: bad job by me? Bad job by me? Danny G

29
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: I knew it.

30
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 3: I called it as sure as I was of that,

31
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: and CoA not being afraid of the water. He was

32
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 3: like a little fish yesterday afternoon, Ben.

33
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: A little fishy. That's good. So we have a phrase

34
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: of the week, scientifical. We're gonna get scientifical and mailbag

35
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 1: mailbag as well. So here we go, phrase of the week.

36
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: Are you ready for the phrase of the week?

37
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 4: Phrase of the week.

38
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: Here is the phrase, which is not to be confused.

39
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: Phrase of the week. Not to be confused with the

40
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: idiom of the week, which we did back on Friday.

41
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: But the phrase of the week. Hit the panic button. Now,

42
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: I use this phrase all the time, Danny. I use

43
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: this probably once every other day for an athlete choking yeah,

44
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: or for a team or a coach. Oh, they hit

45
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: the panic button.

46
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 3: I heard you use this when you were talking about

47
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 3: James Harden recently.

48
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I have. I used it with Harden. So

49
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: it's obviously reacting poorly to a situation. You hit the

50
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: panic button, being caught off guard, uh, doing something without

51
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: really thinking it through, making bad decisions in a situation

52
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: that's hit the panic button. I think most of us

53
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 1: know what that means. But the origin I was fascinated

54
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: by the origin of this word, so that's why, or

55
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: this phrase rather so, that's why it is the phrase

56
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: of Louis. So the origin of the of the phrase

57
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: hit the panic button goes back to World War Two,

58
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: so it's not that old a phrase. This ain't going

59
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: back to ancient times like we had the Idiom of

60
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: the Week that went back to ancient Greece. This only

61
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: goes back to World War Two, and it is a

62
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: reference to the B seventeen and the B twenty four bombers.

63
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: Now the B seventeen much more famous than the B

64
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: twenty four. Am I correct on that. I'm not a

65
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: military guy, but it seems like the B seventeen to

66
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: B twenty four you don't hear a lot about anyway. Yeah, yeah,

67
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm sure there's someone listening that's really

68
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: up on their military history. Par I could tell us

69
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: the way this phrase originated. It hit the panic Button.

70
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: World War two B seventeen B twenty four bombers, they

71
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: had bell systems, actual bells that would ring in the

72
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: cockpit in the event of a catastrophe about to happen, right,

73
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: meaning that there's damage or whatever. And we assigned they'd

74
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: ring bells to signal to the crew to jump ship.

75
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: So they would literally be like bells ringing. And you know,

76
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: people are, well, what does that have to do with

77
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: the actual panic button, because you know it's bells. It's

78
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: not that Well, if you go to nineteen fifty five,

79
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: after World War Two, nineteen fifty five, there was a

80
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: guy that came up with a glossary of air force

81
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: slang from pilots at Bergstrom Air Force Base in Austin, Texas.

82
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: And this is for the academic journal American Speech. It

83
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: is still in print to this day under the headline

84
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: hit the Panic Button this book, the guy wrote, there

85
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: is a switch called the panic button in the cockpit

86
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: of a jet craft which Jennison's objects, including extra fuel tanks,

87
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: in order to lighten the plane conditions under which this

88
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: switch is used, are usually quite desperate and continuing to read,

89
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: it says, in case of power failure, for example, when

90
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: all the prescribed remedial processes failed, the pilot might, in desperation,

91
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: push everything that's out and pull everything that's in in

92
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: the hopes that he might actually do something help. Thus

93
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: the phrase panic button was born. So since that was

94
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: published in nineteen fifty five, that has been a phrase

95
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: that we use. And by the way, from what we're told,

96
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: it has now been standard. That's standard. There's actually a

97
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: panic button in military aircraft, the United States military aircraft.

98
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: I've never been in, well, I should say never. I

99
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: was a kid, I used to go to the open

100
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: house of the marine base and go through all the

101
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: planes and all that in the helicopters, but as far

102
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: as I know, you know, as an adult, I've not

103
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: been in military aircraft. So they do have a standard

104
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: piece of equipment that is known as the panic button.

105
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 4: So yess, very cool.

106
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: That is pretty neat. It doesn't go back so nobody

107
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: before that, but maybe they said panic button, but it

108
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: didn't didn't really resonate. So phrase the week again, panic

109
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: button hit the panic butt O. Yes, yeah, well there

110
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: you go hit the panic button. Next up, we have

111
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: moving on as we flip the script here and we

112
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: will get scientifical. We're gonna get cy and typical. Why

113
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: why not? What the heck?

114
00:06:55,080 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 5: And we'll get to that's right, come on, ohiol.

115
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 6: Science, All right, thank you.

116
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna help you out, dandy. Do you have

117
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: an iPhone? You have an iPhone? Right?

118
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 4: Of course I'm not some Android sucker.

119
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so there's a hack that some dope came up

120
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: with on TikTok. This guy claims unlimited cell phone battery life,

121
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: which is, you know, that's a lie, but you can

122
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: improve your cell phone battery life. And I actually did this,

123
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: and I gotta tell you, pretty pretty simple. I'm not

124
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: that right when it comes to technology and all that

125
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: pretty simple, and I believe it worked, although I haven't

126
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: had it on long enough to know for sure if

127
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: it works. But the way this works is you selectively

128
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: dim your screen. But you don't do it the regular way.

129
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: You have to go to the iPhone set. You then

130
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: go to iPhone settings, you click on accessibility. You then

131
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: go to the display and tech size and you switch

132
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: on the reduced white point option. So that's the see

133
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: there's a little switch.

134
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 4: It says reduced transparency.

135
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: No, it's it says reduce white point. Let me let

136
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: me go do it right now, show you because I

137
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: did this earlier. So you click.

138
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 4: Oh, I see it, reduce white point to the bottom.

139
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you click on that and then you can

140
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: adjust it. If you want better battery life, you would

141
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: make it dinner now. The only problem is if you

142
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: go outside or something like that and you're in the sunlight,

143
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: it might become a problem. But if you reduce it

144
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: a little bit, it'll it'll.

145
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 4: Help out, got it. Oh that's cool?

146
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, So I did that the other day right there,

147
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: and there's a little hack. We'll see how good it goes.

148
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: So if you're concerned about battery life, and there's that

149
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 1: little slider Danny, you see you there, you can go

150
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: all the way down and see how dim you want

151
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: your phone to be, and it would reduce the whites

152
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: on your screen. And so far, so good, so cool.

153
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: First story from let's get scientifical. Uh here, let me

154
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: ask you this, how much how much weight do you

155
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: believe the average American is going to gain over the

156
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: next month with Thanksgiving Christmas?

157
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 4: I would guess eight pounds.

158
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: Did you see this story, Danny, it's oh it's exactly

159
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: eight pounds.

160
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 4: Wow, No, I swear I did not see this.

161
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, are you still going to stick to your diet?

162
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: What's your what's your plan here? I am yeah. Yeah.

163
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 3: In fact, people have left suits already on the counter

164
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 3: at FSR and I did not partake.

165
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: That's good, that's good discipline. You gotta have it. You

166
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: gotta have it. You know. It takes like thirty sixty

167
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: I think it's sixty days, and then once that's a

168
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: new habit. Once you do like sixty days, you're good

169
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: to go after that. But three quarters of Americans are

170
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: planning to enjoy a festivus of epic proportions. According to

171
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: a new survey, seventy two percent of Americans want to

172
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: make the most of the end of twenty twenty three,

173
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: and most people the diet. Screw the diet. They're writing

174
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 1: off the end of the year, and they do estimate

175
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: in the holiday season, you're gonna get eight pounds. Expect

176
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: to get eight pounds every now, you Danny, because you're

177
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: on your diet, but eight pounds heavier. In twenty twenty two,

178
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: it was five and a half pounds, So we're getting it.

179
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: We're getting even deeper into the food here in twenty

180
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: twenty three. But I'm gonna I'm gonna stick to my

181
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: fasting and all that. I'm not you know, if you're

182
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: wondering what I'm doing. I mean, I'll eat decently. We

183
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: don't make turkey on Thanksgiving, so at least I don't

184
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: think we're making turkey. And I gotta do the TV

185
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: show and all that anyway, So I got a busy week,

186
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: so I'll figure out. I mean, I'll eat it. I'm

187
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: gonna eat well, but probably not go crazy. What else

188
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: do we have here? Oh? Very thankful people in the

189
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: United States? The average American? How many times a year,

190
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: Danny is the average American say thank you? According to

191
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: a new scientifical study in it, per year, how many

192
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: times do you say thank you? Wow, go your groucery,

193
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: somebody leaves the door open for you?

194
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh man, I would I would guess a couple

195
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 3: thousand times in a year.

196
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: You're almost exactly right again, two two hundred times per

197
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: year on average.

198
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 4: Damn, I'm hot, right now, take me to Vegas instead

199
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 4: of Palm Springs.

200
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: Iron Man, you want to keep going here, you want

201
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: to keep going. I don't know if I have any

202
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: more questions like this, but yeah, they estimate the study

203
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: said two two hundred times a year. Now, there are

204
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: some people that are less, there are some people that

205
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: are more. There's some people that say thank you for everything.

206
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: There's other people say thank you for nothing. So it

207
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: obviously depends. Well, here's good news, Danny. Life expectancy is dropping.

208
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: American men dying six years earlier than women. So we're

209
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: gonna drop dead sooner than our wives, Dandy. That's exciting.

210
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 4: This is not good news.

211
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: Oh not good Hey, speaking of that, did you guys

212
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: on Kovino and Rich did you talk about the Dana

213
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: White story this week. That's a wild story where he

214
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: lost a bunch. He went on a fast, like a

215
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: water fast. Did you see that?

216
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, he got all ripped up.

217
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: He went on an eighty something hour fast because he

218
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: went to some doctor that said he was going to

219
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: die in ten years. So that jump started his mission,

220
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: his mission for health. That was that was pretty wild.

221
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 3: I'm right there, man. I gotta make Coha's high school graduation.

222
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: You gotta go well on, you gotta beat the wedding.

223
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: The whole thing and all that, and you don't have

224
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: to pay for it. Is that custom still in effect

225
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: with the bride's family has to pay for the wedding.

226
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: Is that how that works? I don't know.

227
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 4: That doesn't sound very twenty twenty three of you.

228
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I thought that was the way

229
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: it was. Well, just have him get have him a

230
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: lope when he gets older, and then you're saving the money.

231
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, that sounds like a good plan.

232
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 1: Yeah. What else do we have here? See, you're doing science.

233
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 4: I think a scholarship too, that would be good.

234
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 1: Yeah. Are you thinking more football? Maybe raiders? You're thinking

235
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna be a big guy like offensive line.

236
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 3: Are we thinking he's going to be a big I'm

237
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 3: thinking tight end or linebacker.

238
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: That'd be good. How about a pass rushing defensive end.

239
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, that'll work.

240
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 3: He's gonna be like the next Robert Spulane, babe.

241
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: All right, what do we have here? How about this

242
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: years ago corner research scientists are saying that the days

243
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 1: were back in the early days of eurse history, at

244
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: one point, the days were nineteen hours long. That's it,

245
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: nineteen hours instead of the twenty four so instead of

246
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: the yeah, nineteen. You think, does that mean the days

247
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: will keep getting like someday twenty six hours in a

248
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: day or twenty seven hours in a day? Or is

249
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: it how my entire life has been twenty four? Right,

250
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: we've all been twenty five. But how does that work?

251
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I don't know.

252
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 4: You should be trying to shorten the workday, not make

253
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 4: it longer.

254
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is that is true. Afternoon crash. Average person

255
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: hits the wall at blank time. You want to test

256
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: your luck again? What time?

257
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 3: Yeah? Most people hit the wall at three pm.

258
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: Oh, you are so close again day to thirty six.

259
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 4: Oh wow, you're off.

260
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: By twenty four minutes. That's pretty good. Now. I do

261
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: not hit the wall at two thirty six because I'm sleeping.

262
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: Usually I'm just getting up around two thirty six in

263
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: the afternue, so I usually don't. I don't really worry

264
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: about that. I don't have to I have to worry

265
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: about that. Well, here's another one of these science stories

266
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: where I roll my eyes at it and I'm like, ah,

267
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: this is probably nonsense. But noisy water oceans will be

268
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: five times louder by the year twenty one hundred five

269
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: times louder according to it.

270
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 4: Oh, I love hearing the sound of the ocean.

271
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: Does that mean we won't have to go on YouTube

272
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: to watch those videos of the waves? We'll just hear

273
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,359
Speaker 1: them naturally? El natural?

274
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have Lebron's calm app in my phone.

275
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: Oh is that right? Oh? Me nice? Yeah? All right,

276
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: all right, we got the mail bag.

277
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 5: Now.

278
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: I know we did this other stuff, but the mailbag

279
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: is the star of the show. That's the main event.

280
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: The mail bag. People love the mailbag and they also

281
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: love the jingle. So let's get to the jingle. It's

282
00:15:51,600 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: this bag, thank you very much. First one on the mailbag.

283
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: These are actual letters by actual listeners. You do not

284
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: have to wait. You do not have to wait for

285
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: me to put a message out on social media. You

286
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: can just send these in anytime you want. Ben Maler

287
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: show on Facebook, but Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com.

288
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Just make sure

289
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: that you have the Fifth Hour and the headlines and

290
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: we may read your question on the air. First one

291
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: from Mike in Fullerton's is Happy Thanksgiving, Ben and Danny G.

292
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: Have you guys been watching the best show on TV,

293
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: The Golden Bachelor. The finale is right around the corner,

294
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: and I'd like to hear who you guys think Jerry

295
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: should give the final rose to, and then he names

296
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: Leslie and Teresa. I guess I have not not seen

297
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: a second of the Golden Match. I've heard people talk

298
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: about it, but I got a lot of plates I'm spinning,

299
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: So that's not one of the plates I've been spinning.

300
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: Have you gotten into that.

301
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 3: I'll give you the cheat code out of two of them.

302
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 3: Leslie is probably better looking, a little younger, slightly younger.

303
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 3: And the other gal that made the other girl who

304
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 3: made the final two. It was funny the other night

305
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 3: during the second to last episode, my wife, he said

306
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 3: she is boring.

307
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: Leslie's for the wind.

308
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, he mentioned the other girl's name. What's her name, Teresa?

309
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 3: I believe, Yeah, she's like, she's so boring.

310
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 4: And she told me.

311
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 3: You notice they don't do two hour episodes of The

312
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 3: Golden Bachelor because it would be so boring.

313
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's funny. They should do just a half hour

314
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: like Benny Versus Band half hour TV show. If I

315
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: could get a daily half hour TV show, that'd be

316
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: the easiest job in the world.

317
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 3: You're not wrong, because the problem with the Golden Bachelor

318
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 3: is he's too nice, He's there's not a ton of drama.

319
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 3: You know, obviously you got more mature people on this show.

320
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 3: You don't have the twenty two year old, you know,

321
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 3: cat fighting with the twenty one year old. And also

322
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 3: the dates are boring. They're not skydiving, they're not doing

323
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 3: all these crazy dates. Instead, they're going wine tasting, and

324
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 3: so my chick was like, this is so boring, and

325
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 3: that's been the sentiment of a lot of people. I

326
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 3: guess they still have enough ratings to where they're going

327
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 3: to do it again because they've been running commercials saying

328
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 3: if you want to be the next Golden Bachelor or

329
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 3: a contestant, to turn your stuff in, and they give

330
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 3: the website, so they're going to do it again.

331
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: How old do you have to be to be the

332
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 1: Golden Batch?

333
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 3: Sixty five and up something like that. Okay, he's seventy two.

334
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 3: I want to say, Jerry, Jerry is his name is

335
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 3: seventy two?

336
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: Jerry? Sure? Yeah. Mike also says how important do you

337
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 1: think it is for cranberry sauce to be served with

338
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving dinner? Yeah? Well, I'm not eating a traditional Thanksgiving

339
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: I do love cranberry you know what. I like the

340
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: Trader Joe's has that cranberry orange thing like this. Yeah, yes,

341
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: that's really good. I could just eat that. I'd be happy.

342
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: That's really good. Shane and Seattle whites and says Ben

343
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 1: and Danny gene love the podcast. Is this Poppy band legit?

344
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: Is it a bit on the show? Yeah? So Danny,

345
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 1: this guy Poppy had called for a while from San

346
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: Diego and we gave him a bit on the show.

347
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: He likes to handicap. He's terrible at picking games, so

348
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 1: we gave him a bit on the show, and it

349
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: was picking with the chicken and farmer in Michigan loaned

350
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: us Abigail with chicken, and then the bit was Poppy

351
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: pix a game and then Abigail picks a game and

352
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: who can pick more winters? So we did it on

353
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: the air.

354
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:04,959
Speaker 4: Instead of a penny, it's a chicken.

355
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like the spin off, you know, because I

356
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: can't do it any versus the penn anymore because it's

357
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: the TV shows, I can't really do it on the radio.

358
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: So so anyway, so Poppy's like, okay, we got we'll

359
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: do it, and so we did it, and it was

360
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 1: fine whatever. It was cool seeing Abigail with chicken. And

361
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: then we find out by my Mallard militia foot soldiers,

362
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: my boot's on the ground, that Poppy's ripping the bit off,

363
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: doing it on his own social media, making a mockery

364
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: of the radio show. So I was like, all right,

365
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: well we're done with We're done with this, and then

366
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: you go do your own thing. I don't need this.

367
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: But I still allowed him to call in, and then

368
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: he kept spinning at the show. He was like, he

369
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: was disrespecting the show. If Poppy was a good caller,

370
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: I'd be like, okay, he's a good caller, we'll let

371
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: him crap on the show. But he's a terrible caller,

372
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: and he was crapping on the show. So I was like,

373
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: I don't really need that. They don't pay me to

374
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: deal with idiots like this, so we banned him. Now

375
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: is the permanent I don't know right now. As of today,

376
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: he's not allowed back on the show. If somehow he

377
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: reaches out and Jenya flex and admits that he has

378
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: been a terrible caller and will change his ways, I

379
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: would be open to at some point after a certain

380
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: sentence of punishment allow him to come back if he

381
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: is going into the octagon and battles it out with

382
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: some people. So Shane, to answer your question, it is real.

383
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: I don't hate Poppy. I met him. He was a

384
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: nice gentleman when I met him. It's not personal. But

385
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: I just don't have time for people to call the show.

386
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: And you know, this is my life's work. I don't

387
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: have time for people to ship on the show. It's

388
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: what I do. So that's it, you know.

389
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 3: Oh, I better scrap the YouTube show plans that I

390
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 3: had for Danny versus the Nanny.

391
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 4: I think that's got me picking a game.

392
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 3: In our hot young nanny for cod picking a game,

393
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 3: wear hardly any clothes.

394
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: See I When I heard Danny versus the Nanny, I

395
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: thought that was like out in Chatsworth. You would be

396
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: filming that out there. I thought it was a show

397
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: or a refined audience. I thought, but uh, thank you, Mike,

398
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: and Rochester writes and he says, Ben and Danny g

399
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: I wanted to get your guy. Oh this is a

400
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: sporty question. Is this is a sporty question? He says, Uh, Ben,

401
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: I heard your your monologue about Josh Allen. You called

402
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: him a coach killer, and I saw that a number. Yeah,

403
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: because of Ken Dorsey. That's what happened. He played so

404
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: bad he got the coach killed. Ken Dorsey is off

405
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: in the corner.

406
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 5: Uh.

407
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: Anyway, Mike says, Uh, I saw some Bills fans upset

408
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: with you. They sent some nasty things on on Twitter.

409
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: It's X by the way, Mike, it's not Twitter's X.

410
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 2: Uh.

411
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: He says, you get offended. Uh when these guys say

412
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: they're going to stop listening to the show. So I

413
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: didn't see particularly those comments, Mike. I don't go on

414
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: X during the day I get ready for the show.

415
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: I'm not on there because it's better for my health

416
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 1: to not be on there. I'm on there during the show,

417
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: So I didn't see particularly what you said. I did

418
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 1: get some email from Bill's fans that were upset. But

419
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: the thing I love and I'm sure you appreciate this.

420
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: To Danny the listener, who is I liked you until

421
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: you said something I didn't like about someone. I like

422
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: you know that guy?

423
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so very high school sounding.

424
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: I get a lot of that guy. It's like, I

425
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: respected your show and I listened to your show, but

426
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: you said something about an athlete that I worship, and

427
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: and you know I can't. I just can't, you know.

428
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: And then, of course, with me being on overnight, say, well,

429
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: that's why you're on at three in the morning. You know,

430
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,959
Speaker 1: that's why you're on so late. No one's listening at

431
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: that hour of course, right after the person has been

432
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: listening for like ten years, you know, and they're the

433
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: idiots listening. But no, I don't care. I mean this

434
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: part of the part of the gig. People are gonna

435
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: you know, they're going to attack you if you say

436
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: something they don't like. That's why a lot of people

437
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: don't say anything mildly controversial or have any opinions because

438
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: they don't want anyone to get upset. But it kind

439
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: of isn't that kind of the job, Danny, that we're

440
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: supposed to have strong opinions, And that's kind of the.

441
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 3: If you don't get a reaction out of anybody, are

442
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 3: you really doing a sports radio show. I mean, you're

443
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 3: gonna ruffle some feathers on either side of your topic.

444
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 3: So just go with what your gut says, in what

445
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 3: your brain says, your own opinion is and if people

446
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 3: don't like it. Oh, well, we're not supposed to agree

447
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 3: on everything.

448
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 6: God.

449
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 1: Exactly. And again, listen. People will say stuff on social media.

450
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: There's a lot of smartphone tough guys. But my experience

451
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: over the years is that the vast majority of people

452
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: say I used to like you, but I'm never listening again.

453
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: The vast majority of those people end up listening again,

454
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: so they'll come back. Maybe they'll go away for a

455
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: little bit, but they'll come back. I'm sure that'll solve it.

456
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 1: Next up, Tommy, the Bengal Reds fan in Maryland, he writes,

457
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: since says good day, Ben, Benny Brightside and Danny g

00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: the Department of Defense. Oh that's cool. My question this

466
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 1: week is have either of you dated a friend of

467
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: an ex girlfriend and if so what was the dramatic

468
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: level there. I'll hang up and take my answer off

469
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 1: the air. Thanks for rocking the Mike gentleman. Wow, that's impressive.

470
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: Twenty two years in the US Army and now now

471
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: he's hanging out working as a contract Now, if you're

472
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: in if you're in the military for twenty years, do

473
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: you just automatically get a job as a contractor? Is

474
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: that kind of how that works? I don't know, but

475
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: it seems like a lot of those guys that are

476
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: in the military for a long time, they just kind

477
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: of slide into a really good contractor gig at the

478
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: Department Offense, or they're working for like Halliburton, you know,

479
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: those those deals. So I have not I have not

480
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 1: dated any x's, did not date a lot, and certainly

481
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: anyone I knew they weren't interested in me. So no,

482
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: but I have a feeling Danny probably has a good

483
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 1: story or something about this, right, And I think you've

484
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: you've gone to the dark side, I think Danny from

485
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: time to time, Yeah, yeah, I did.

486
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 3: This was like the early two thousands, and the whole

487
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 3: time we hung out, she said, I just can't keep

488
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 3: thinking about your ex and I'm friends with her, so

489
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,719
Speaker 3: kind of made it exciting the first few times we

490
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 3: hung out. Yeah, but then it got to the point

491
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 3: where every time she kept saying that it got more

492
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 3: and more annoying, and so I stopped hanging out with her.

493
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 3: But boy, there was some thunder and lightning and.

494
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 4: Fireworks at the beginning of hanging out with her.

495
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: So when you were at the beginning, when you started

496
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: to you know, enjoy your company, did you see the

497
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: the other you know, friend of your ex? Did you

498
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: did you see or you know, your her ex or whatever?

499
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 3: Do you from from time to time? She was like

500
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 3: off again, on again, Okay, yeah.

501
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: Wow, all right, there you go. Thank you Tommy. Let's

502
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: see here page now. Alf Our buddy alf from the

503
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: line at Dairy Queen on the mail bag, alf writes,

504
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: and he says, Coop didn't choose my question for ask Ben.

505
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: I'll ask you a totally different question, not at all

506
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: similar to the one I asked him. What's up with

507
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: the hand soap in public restrooms? It smells awful and

508
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: linger lingers on your hands. While attempting to double down

509
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: down double cheeseburgers and pound blizzards and other fast food

510
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: delicacies from Mark. It was so loyal. This guy outf unbelievable.

511
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: It's amazing. So I do generally hate public restroom soap.

512
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,479
Speaker 1: There is pretty good soap at Fox Sports Radio. That

513
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: white soap racist, I think's pretty good. I like, that's

514
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: a solid it's a thick soap. It's not it's not.

515
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 7: A I'm just describing for you to because there are

516
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 7: it's near the blue sink, you know, or not the

517
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 7: blue sink, but the blue kitchen sink.

518
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about. They usually have pretty

519
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: good soap there. But I yeah, the soap in the bathroom.

520
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: That's a great call out. That sounds like an episode

521
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Like I just do an episode

522
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: how bad the soap is, and then Larry David would

523
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: try to get good soap and try to find good

524
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: soap for the bathroom, and that would be like his

525
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: life's mission to just you go to different soap companies

526
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: and then he'll start his own soap company.

527
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 4: For sure. He already fixed the toilet issue.

528
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, good to go on that. So thank you,

529
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: Alf and I enjoy your double double cheeseburgers and blizzards.

530
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: Enjoy that. Yeah. Berry Berry from South Carolina via Nashville

531
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: says Yo Yo, Ma, Benny and Danny G. What percentage

532
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: you have a Jed who fled call? Do you actually comprehend?

533
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: I love his calls, but I can't listen fast enough

534
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: to understand more than ten percent of his content. I

535
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: even rewind and listen a second and third time, I'm

536
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: still getting about ten percent. Yeah, one hundred percent. Barry

537
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: and I got headphones on and I'm locked in, right,

538
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: I'm in gay, I'm like, this is my thing. I

539
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: got to be locked in, and it's tough. And some days,

540
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: you know, when he's really drugged out, it's even worse

541
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: because he's going faster and faster and fast. There's some

542
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: nights he's maybe he doesn't have enough money to buy

543
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: the drugs, so it's not quite as bad. But I

544
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: think he only calls up when he is using pharmaceuticals,

545
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,479
Speaker 1: because there are some nights he does not call up.

546
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: So my assumption is there are nights he doesn't even

547
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: do it every night, and he's just out wandering around

548
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: the sticks in Florida in the what they used to

549
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: call I think they still do the Redneck Riviera there

550
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: traveling around in Uh, like, where's he at?

551
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 2: Not?

552
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: Where is he? I'm trying to I'm having a mental block,

553
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: but it's it's in the area just below Alabama and

554
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: then there's a little stretch of Florida and all that. So, yeah,

555
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: it's tough. And I'll ask Coop sometimes Berry or or

556
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: Eddie or somebody like what did he say? Like I didn't.

557
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: I have noticed. Here's the problem. Jed talked so fast

558
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: that a couple of days ago he put a bad

559
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: word in the middle and he almost got it on

560
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: the air because it slid in so fast that we

561
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: were like, what did he say? It was like right

562
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: in the middle of all these like this word salad,

563
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: like this big word salad. It's crazy they had alive. Uh,

564
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: David in Uh hold Yeah, he says that Danny g

565
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: have you ever listened to his calls? Uh? I don't know.

566
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of Jed? Yeah?

567
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,719
Speaker 3: And I worked on your show when he first started calling.

568
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 3: I don't know if this is a reflection on my

569
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 3: sobriety or not, but I understand every word he says.

570
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: That's a lie. Pinocchio, You're like, you're like that Fox

571
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: Sideline reporter was that a great story? Oh the reactions, Oh,

572
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: the the over the top Shakespearean reactions too.

573
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 4: On sideline reporters. Get rid of them. They're good for nothing.

574
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 3: They repeat back what the two announcers have already said

575
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 3: most of the time.

576
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: Oh, one hundred percent. And it's the reaction. Though, I

577
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: did a whole rant this week, Carrissa Thompson. If you

578
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: didn't see it, CHRISA Thompson's like, oh yeah, sometimes the

579
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: coaches wouldn't come out and talk to me, so I

580
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: just made up a quote, and you'd think they'd be

581
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: like some war tribunal. The reactions of this, like Lisa

582
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: Salters shocked, disappointed, disgusted. She said, they were all these

583
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: other sideline reports. It was like like a cat fight,

584
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: but it was like twelve cats against one cat, and

585
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: they were all pouncing on poor poor you know, the

586
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: poor fox girl. Carissa Thompson, and I defended Christa Thompson.

587
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: I think the whole thing's ridiculous because I'm with you Danny,

588
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: like I I'm there. I don't need the sideline reporter.

589
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,719
Speaker 1: I've done the job. I'm I don't think that these

590
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: people are particularly bad at it, but it's it's unnecessary.

591
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever gotten any great insight where

592
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my god, thank god, she's down

593
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 3: there on the sideline. Nowadays, we get more info from

594
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 3: people with egle eyes on Twitter.

595
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah. And the only thing that happens when

596
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: when we get viral stuff, it's because somebody's hammered, like

597
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: Joe Namath, I want to kiss you, right, which I

598
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: had nothing to do with the sideline reporter other than

599
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: she was attractive and Joe Namath was horny and he

600
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: was drinking and other than that. And then you'll have

601
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: a player or coach who's so frustrated they'll start screaming

602
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: and shouting. But again that's not because of the journalistic

603
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: ability of any of these people who are the sideline reporters.

604
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: Because I have a buddy of mine that is an

605
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: old newspaper man, used to work as an editor at

606
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: some really big newspapers, and he's a friend of the

607
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: show in front of me. I've known him for many years,

608
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: and he will watch these NBA games, in these NFL games,

609
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: and it'll say, I'll here's what they're gonna say after

610
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: the game, how did it feel? That's like the number one.

611
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: How you're not a journalist if you're asking the same

612
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: question to everyone you interview. And then you had Molly McGrath,

613
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: who I guess is a sideline reporter. I think for

614
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: I think she's man. I don't know, but she she

615
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 1: went over the top. She said, this is not normal

616
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: or ethical. Coaches and players trust us with sensitive information?

617
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: Yeah right, Hell is sensitive information in a freaking football game?

618
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:27,439
Speaker 1: What are we doing? Ben?

619
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 3: I just want to know what was going through your

620
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 3: mind on the last answer during the mailbag.

621
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: Oh, my goodness, sensitive information? What because you know who

622
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: the backup quarterback is and when you know what play

623
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: they're going to run in the third quarter?

624
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,720
Speaker 4: Take me through that last play. What were you feeling?

625
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: Oh it's so stupid, it's so dumb. Uh, but thank you.

626
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: I got carried away on a tangent.

627
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 3: Let's see where you should just have spotters and staffers

628
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 3: on the field. Throw the headset on the start of

629
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 3: the game. Play by play color analyst Guy asked the questions.

630
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm right there, and most most people I know

631
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,920
