Speaker 1: Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of
Speaker 1: the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the Penthouse, the clearinghouse of hot takes
Speaker 1: break free for something special. The fifth hour with Ben
Speaker 1: Maller starts right now, in the air everywhere. Back at
Speaker 1: it again, Ben Mallard and Danny G radio a brand
Speaker 1: spanking new edition of the fifth hour, a podcast like
Speaker 1: no other podcast. It really is a magic act. Who
Speaker 1: Deny how we are able to pull this off every week? Danny,
Speaker 1: we had a great benny versus the penny audition on Friday,
Speaker 1: so hopefully you download that, and you better download it
Speaker 1: today because when the Games kick off on Sunday it
Speaker 1: suddenly becomes dated. So do your homework on the NFL
Speaker 1: with Benny Versus Penny. But I'm excited. We did not
Speaker 1: have a Saturday podcast last week, Danny, uh, not with us.
Speaker 1: We had George Nori on the podcast, so we did
Speaker 1: not get to update our lives. I know people need
Speaker 1: to know what's going on with our lives. Dan, it
Speaker 1: was weird. I felt like you and I were distant
Speaker 1: for a week. I know it really is like we're
Speaker 1: sitting around at a coffee shop. I don't drink coffee,
Speaker 1: but sitting around, just a couple of dudes talking about
Speaker 1: their lives. There I want a mature guy. You know,
Speaker 1: it's it's an amazing thing. Um. So on this edition
Speaker 1: of the Fifth Hour we've got craft services leader in
Speaker 1: the clubhouse and a pogo stick as well as backscratchers.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot to get to, but I wanted
Speaker 1: to begin this now. Danny, I don't know if you're
Speaker 1: you want to now oounce this here or I know
Speaker 1: you talked about it on social media, but there was
Speaker 1: a change made by the company this week and you
Speaker 1: were actually part of that and I believe it is
Speaker 1: good news. Danny. Is it not good news? I think
Speaker 1: this is good. It sounded like good news to me. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: out of the ashes. To think that a year ago
Speaker 1: I was almost on the beach, as we call it
Speaker 1: in radio, because obviously when Clay Travis left to take
Speaker 1: the limbos show, just kind of what's the word? Out
Speaker 1: of luck? Yeah, Poop, poop, creek without a paddle. Uh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people asked me about that, like,
Speaker 1: are you gonna move to Tennessee? Are you gonna move
Speaker 1: to Tennessee? And I would have had to uh, and
Speaker 1: obviously I chose to stay in southern California and that
Speaker 1: kind of left me without a spot. I held on
Speaker 1: with the company and was able to work out a
Speaker 1: part time thing with weekends and Phil and then obviously
Speaker 1: I got to join in the fifth hour here, which
Speaker 1: was awesome, and so I held on for deare life
Speaker 1: and been working my ass off between that in school,
Speaker 1: having seven day work weeks and crazy hours, and it's
Speaker 1: all come full circle and paid off. I always mentioned
Speaker 1: them at the end of our podcast on Sunday that
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go in for the fun Coveno and rich
Speaker 1: show at Covino and rich at spots center. What's up?
Speaker 1: Nobody here the show. Danny G Ralph Irvin on the news.
Speaker 1: Alex tysher hanging out with us right now. By the way,
Speaker 1: we have a spot has an issue with Alex's ring.
Speaker 1: Why are you saying? WE'RE gonna? We're gonna bring it up. However,
Speaker 1: it's like there's more beef in here than with Dana
Speaker 1: White and Jack Whatsoever. I didn't know Alex until he
Speaker 1: stepped in studio today. But before this, before the show,
Speaker 1: he was in the kitchen preparing what I could possibly
Speaker 1: be the biggest smoothe I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 1: He prepared spots like some dudes make it. I think
Speaker 1: he's making you like he cut and veggies, cut the
Speaker 1: entire fruit department of Ralph, like it's not just a
Speaker 1: regular size blender of single stars, it's a full size,
Speaker 1: like Ninja size, blender, fulled, filled with fruit and the
Speaker 1: most expensive meal I eat a day. And I think
Speaker 1: it's done. I think he finished it. It's like the
Speaker 1: biggest smooth I've ever seen in my life. Why they
Speaker 1: call him the Super Vegan. The way described it, though, Alex,
Speaker 1: it was like a smoothie for like a week's worth
Speaker 1: of SMOOTHIES, basically. But that's your dinner. Oh, it's my
Speaker 1: breakfast every day. Hold, hold that up, let me see it.
Speaker 1: That is like the entire pitch, that whole thing, and
Speaker 1: it's finished ounces a day. Hang on to keep holding that.
Speaker 1: I'm going to tweet that out. Yeah, that is sort
Speaker 1: of ridiculous. You want to know what's inside of air.
Speaker 1: Would love to ground up it's it's a whole leader
Speaker 1: and a half of spring walk and then there's a
Speaker 1: Turmeran ginger root. Can I go to Goji Berries, Cocoa Nibs.
Speaker 1: We have a whole carton of strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, a
Speaker 1: whole thing of Cherries, mangoes. I have China seeds, hempseeds,
Speaker 1: flex seed, sesame seeds. I have the actual liquid of zinc, magnesium,
Speaker 1: vitamin D, vitamin C, hemp protein that's purely grained with
Speaker 1: nothing else in it, and a couple of other things.
Speaker 1: And he's had covid twice and he's miserable, right, and
Speaker 1: he's miserable and he cries at night, man, and he
Speaker 1: cries at night because he's starving and PAS bright orange. Well,
Speaker 1: that show that I've been producing the past year was
Speaker 1: promoted to two to four PM Monday through Friday. That's
Speaker 1: specific time, so five to seven on the east coast,
Speaker 1: so a two hour slot there on the weekdays. So
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a lot of fun. Yeah, congratulations, and
Speaker 1: those guys have created a lot of was I've met
Speaker 1: one of them. I think it was rich. I think
Speaker 1: I met rich I'm not sure, though. Did he look
Speaker 1: like an NFL punter? UH, yeah, I mean we was
Speaker 1: in passing, you know, we were like ships passing in
Speaker 1: the night. But good guys in the company loves them.
Speaker 1: They've they've done a great job on the weekends and
Speaker 1: I like the fact that they are seasoned radio guys.
Speaker 1: They they spent a lot of time behind microphones and
Speaker 1: so I always love when fellow radio people get a
Speaker 1: new exciting gigs and all that, and I'm happy for you, Danny,
Speaker 1: on that. So hopefully the show goes very well. It's
Speaker 1: a prime real estate there daytime radio. That's primetime real estate,
Speaker 1: and there are two types of radio. There's six am
Speaker 1: to six PM and then there's six am to six PM.
Speaker 1: Or did I say vice versa? It's it's six PM
Speaker 1: to six am and six am to six PM. That's
Speaker 1: the that's it right there. Is that East Turn Time
Speaker 1: or Pacific Times? I don't know. There's I'll pull out
Speaker 1: my ven diagram and we'll figure it out. Okay, if
Speaker 1: that's eastern time, then one hour is in that prime
Speaker 1: time window you're talking about and the other hour is
Speaker 1: actually a nighttime hour, which we both love. Nighttime radio.
Speaker 1: It's a crossover hybrid. It's a hybrid. Yeah, well, good
Speaker 1: luck on that, Danny. I'm sure that'll go well and
Speaker 1: the start of a new adventure. But at a show
Speaker 1: that you've been on and now just things get cranked up.
Speaker 1: When you do a weekday show, it's just a little
Speaker 1: more tension, shall we say. There's the stakes are are
Speaker 1: raised a little bit. But you know, anytime you're on
Speaker 1: the radio it's important. You gotta put a good show
Speaker 1: on because you never know who's listening, you never know
Speaker 1: who's tuning in. All right. So turning the page, I
Speaker 1: had a world win week. Uh. This the life of Mallard,
Speaker 1: life of Danny G podcast. A lot of plates spinning.
Speaker 1: So last we near the end of the week, I
Speaker 1: got a surprise in my inbox and I don't on
Speaker 1: the weekends. I don't normally look at the mail that much.
Speaker 1: I'm like Hey, I'm I'm not working, I don't need
Speaker 1: to check the email. And so I opened up the
Speaker 1: email on like Friday night and I had received this
Speaker 1: message from a, uh, someone I know who's a director
Speaker 1: in Hollywood and they reached out and this gentleman who
Speaker 1: I had worked on a project with before he's like Hey, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, we're we've got a team, we're working on this,
Speaker 1: this documentary, and we wanted you to be a part
Speaker 1: of it, and they asked if I was interested. So,
Speaker 1: after really a solid five seconds of contemplating whether or
Speaker 1: not I wanted to do this, I said Absolute Hell yes,
Speaker 1: signed me up, but I didn't really realize the scheduling
Speaker 1: part of it. I just said yes without actually grasping
Speaker 1: what would be required to make that work and that
Speaker 1: I would have to fight like a devil to to
Speaker 1: make it all work. So it created a logistical nightmare. Now,
Speaker 1: normally I don't go out on a school night. We've
Speaker 1: talked about this before, Danny, that I'm pretty robotic with
Speaker 1: my preparation for the show and I start at the
Speaker 1: same time every day. I'm a busy little beaver and
Speaker 1: I do my work and I put the show to bed,
Speaker 1: usually about an hour before the show, and then I
Speaker 1: do the show and then I unwind after. But I
Speaker 1: have the same routine just like anyone at their job.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you listening have your routine if you're a
Speaker 1: teacher or a truck driver, so I'm I'm no different.
Speaker 1: There would have to be a lot of free costco
Speaker 1: samples for you to leave the House on a weeknight. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just don't. I don't. I don't get out much.
Speaker 1: I'm an introvert anyway. So I have that excuse like hey,
Speaker 1: I gotta work, I can't go on. So this was
Speaker 1: a logistical nightmare because it happened to be the only
Speaker 1: days that we could record. This was on a on
Speaker 1: a show day, on a work day. So I bunker down,
Speaker 1: I jotted down, scribbled down, sometimes some notes. Uh, and
Speaker 1: this this place. You understand, I had to sign an
Speaker 1: n DA, so I'm really not allowed to say what
Speaker 1: exactly it is. Uh Yeah, let me, let me. Let
Speaker 1: me just point out that when, when I was told
Speaker 1: WHO's project this was, I was in my head. I'm like,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, are you sure you want me to
Speaker 1: be a part of this? Hold on a second, he
Speaker 1: wait a second. You could say it right now. I'll
Speaker 1: bleep it and we'll see if we can hear anything
Speaker 1: behind the BLEEP. Now, will you pay the charges should
Speaker 1: I get sued? Danny, will you cover the legal costs
Speaker 1: of me getting sued for violating my N D A? Yes,
Speaker 1: I will use the last of my clay, travis money. Yeah, talk,
Speaker 1: all right. So the I'll say it right now. It
Speaker 1: is did you bleep that, Danny? Did you? Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: there you go, but you know, but I do know
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. I have no, no recollection of that.
Speaker 1: So I signed this N Da. So I show up.
Speaker 1: It's at this it's in downtown L A, in the
Speaker 1: middle of rush hour. So I gotta get up early,
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta fight gridlocked traffic. One of the
Speaker 1: great things about my time slot overnight is I don't
Speaker 1: have to worry about traffic. I live in this horrific place,
Speaker 1: one of the worst cities in the in the world
Speaker 1: for traffic, and I don't usually have to worry about
Speaker 1: it because I worked late night. So I get up early,
Speaker 1: you know, clean up, take a shower, put my church
Speaker 1: clothes on, my temple clothes on, whatever you call it,
Speaker 1: and I go to of this hipster restaurant where they're
Speaker 1: doing the shoot in l a. They had a full crew,
Speaker 1: they had producers, directors, sound lighting, multiple cameras. Uh, it
Speaker 1: was a full production, including craft services, and they kept
Speaker 1: offering me food. Hey, you want some drink, you want
Speaker 1: some food, you know and I'm like no, uh, and
Speaker 1: I did not. I did not Danny violate my fugazy
Speaker 1: diet of intermitting fasting, even though it would have been
Speaker 1: both rare and appropriate to attack the table that had
Speaker 1: food on it and nobody would have said anything inappropriate.
Speaker 1: And I had to explain to multiple people. I said, listen,
Speaker 1: it's very kind of you to offer me the food
Speaker 1: and UH, back in the old days I would eat
Speaker 1: the food, but I'm I'm a loser, Um middle aged
Speaker 1: man and I have this ridiculous diet and I can't
Speaker 1: eat the food. What was the spread? And they had,
Speaker 1: like they usual, chips, had some candy, there appeared to
Speaker 1: be some sandwiches, there a lot of drinks. I mean
Speaker 1: it wasn't the greatest spread I've ever been a part of,
Speaker 1: but it certainly was free, and if it's free, it's
Speaker 1: for me and but I pass it up. So I
Speaker 1: didn't do that. But so that show is not supposed
Speaker 1: to come out until early and I, as I said,
Speaker 1: I cannot talk about it other than that I did
Speaker 1: it and I was asked about a variety of things.
Speaker 1: So the way these documentaries work, the logistics on that,
Speaker 1: is that they have this whole set up. They have
Speaker 1: a nice background. This happened to be a big bar
Speaker 1: at this restaurant in l a very, very nice old
Speaker 1: school bar set up. And so they sit you in
Speaker 1: a chair and they just rapid fire. They come at
Speaker 1: you all directions and they asked you about this, that
Speaker 1: and the other thing, and then you have to have
Speaker 1: an answer and you have to be quick and you
Speaker 1: have to be, uh, you know, somewhat entertaining. And and
Speaker 1: then ultimately it's up to the people who edit this
Speaker 1: together whether or not any of what I said gets used,
Speaker 1: and so I will not know. I know I did
Speaker 1: it and I know what I said, but I have
Speaker 1: no idea. And there were some really big names that
Speaker 1: were part of this thing that I also cannot say,
Speaker 1: including one of them, one of the people in this thing.
Speaker 1: I grew up watching this guy on TV and so
Speaker 1: it's pretty exciting that that I'm I'm part of this project,
Speaker 1: although I certainly do not belong alright, so moving on,
Speaker 1: we got the leader in the clubhouse, the leader in
Speaker 1: the clubhouse. What is this all about? Danny G I'M
Speaker 1: gonna have to figure out my school schedule now, with
Speaker 1: the news about Coveno and rich. I don't know exactly
Speaker 1: what is going to work out with the school as
Speaker 1: far as maybe still helping them out in the more
Speaker 1: ing part of my duties right now, as I help
Speaker 1: with their club that they have there before and after school.
Speaker 1: So possibly I could still help before school. I haven't
Speaker 1: had my own classroom since the summer, so there's good
Speaker 1: news in that because it's not like I'm gonna bail
Speaker 1: out on my own classroom. But you remember a few
Speaker 1: weeks ago we talked about the yellow slips, the detention
Speaker 1: forms that the dean gave us, especially gave to me
Speaker 1: because he had me in that line for nutrition time
Speaker 1: where the kids were cutting and getting out of hand,
Speaker 1: and he wanted me to use those. He wanted everybody
Speaker 1: on the campus with authority to start turning in those slips,
Speaker 1: which means the kids would have to pick up trash
Speaker 1: at lunchtime. You know, he called that meeting which I mentioned,
Speaker 1: because nobody was filling out any of these forms. Everybody
Speaker 1: was just giving verbal warnings to the to the students. Well,
Speaker 1: Ben I have some breaking news here. Breaking News, breaking news.
Speaker 1: A couple of day days ago, I wrote my seventh yes,
Speaker 1: my seventh yellow slip. Now, at first it was weird
Speaker 1: writing a couple of detention slips, but I've only been
Speaker 1: giving them to kids who are blatantly breaking rules. For instance,
Speaker 1: there was a kid with a big red backpack on.
Speaker 1: He Cut. He went underneath the belt attached to the stanchions.
Speaker 1: Not only did he obviously cut, he pulled an entire
Speaker 1: section of the stanchions down with his big red backpack. Okay,
Speaker 1: caught red handed. It gets better, though. Tell Him, Hey,
Speaker 1: take your school I d out, I'm gonna need it.
Speaker 1: As he's pretending like he's looking for his I D
Speaker 1: I turn around and I'm talking to somebody else. Turned
Speaker 1: back around to check on him. I see the back
Speaker 1: of him. He's running away. He tried to run away.
Speaker 1: Didn't run away, he fled the scene. What now? Is
Speaker 1: there like a chase? Are you chasing after him like
Speaker 1: Yahn him? What happened? Don't work harder, work smarter. Alright,
Speaker 1: so what I did is I've seen this kid before,
Speaker 1: so I went to the PE coaches and I described
Speaker 1: them and they looked up on their computer and they
Speaker 1: found the kid I was talking about. Then I take
Speaker 1: his name to the main office and I asked the
Speaker 1: office manager, Hey, can you please enter this kid into
Speaker 1: your system and see what class he's in right now?
Speaker 1: So she gives me the info. I walked to his
Speaker 1: class and you should have saw the look on his face. Busted.
Speaker 1: Now this goes from Misdemeanor to felony. Oh yeah, boy,
Speaker 1: that that little yellow slip didn't have enough room to
Speaker 1: write all his infractions down on. So that was one
Speaker 1: of him. Another one. All I heard, and I mean
Speaker 1: I was half a mile away on campus and I
Speaker 1: heard this, and I'm sure dogs and cats also heard
Speaker 1: this down the street, two boys screaming, shrieking at the
Speaker 1: top of their lungs. It's sounding like girls. Not to
Speaker 1: be sexist, that's sexist. Sexist. Well, as I remember, girls
Speaker 1: and boys do sound different, but maybe maybe I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: That's that's true. I don't want our show to be canceled.
Speaker 1: An old take is that? Is that in trouble? That
Speaker 1: I believe there are differences between little girls and little boys. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right. They did sound like little girls, though. So
Speaker 1: I walked up to him and I asked them, why
Speaker 1: are you screaming like girls? What about a nine year
Speaker 1: old girl scared looks on their faces and they pointed
Speaker 1: to some other kid and they're like he said he
Speaker 1: would give a quarter to whoever could scream the loudest
Speaker 1: like a girl. How how old are these kids? Eighteen, eight,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Their middle schools. So
Speaker 1: what are we looking at? You like a twelve year
Speaker 1: old and thirteen year old. Right, all right, so just
Speaker 1: about before the weird, the really weird stuff kicks in there.
Speaker 1: So so I told them. I said, well, you guys
Speaker 1: can scream together as you walk around at lunchtime and
Speaker 1: pick up trash. And how do they take that news, Danny?
Speaker 1: How did they did they try to say, Hey, come on,
Speaker 1: you're the cool guy, Danny. Come on, give us a
Speaker 1: break here. You know I I told him, I said, look,
Speaker 1: you know, I've been really cool with you. I've only
Speaker 1: given you verbal warnings, but the Dean has demanded that
Speaker 1: we start writing some of these infractions up. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: that you two gotta fall on the sword, but that's
Speaker 1: the way it is. And so a little later I
Speaker 1: saw both of them in the office and here's the
Speaker 1: best one. You'RE gonna love this one, Ben for some
Speaker 1: reason I feel like this is something you might have
Speaker 1: done in middle school. Uh, there's that whole challenge. I
Speaker 1: think it started on Tiktok and it was the world's
Speaker 1: hottest chip. Have you heard about yeah, yeah, yeah, I have.
Speaker 1: I've heard about that thing. So they sell these stupid
Speaker 1: chips in these little triangle packages. They sell them at
Speaker 1: the mall for twenty dollars a chip. What a scam that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what a scam. There's this big crowd around one student.
Speaker 1: I go over to see what the Commotion Is. All
Speaker 1: the kids are crowded around him because he's opening up
Speaker 1: one of those triangles, just like like a Carolina reaper
Speaker 1: type thing. Yeah, yeah, the world's hottest chip, but it's
Speaker 1: like hobb and narrow times a hundred could kill you
Speaker 1: if you eat this. Dragons breast, dragons breast. He had
Speaker 1: two of them and he told me he was bragging
Speaker 1: about it. He said, I got these at the mall
Speaker 1: last weekend for twenty dollars each. So a really good
Speaker 1: investment there. He spent forty on two chips. Yeah, kids
Speaker 1: going places. Yeah, whoever scammed these kids out of their money, uh,
Speaker 1: congret relations to you. So now there's this huge crowd
Speaker 1: around him, because these kids obviously want to watch him die.
Speaker 1: They want to watch his mouth start blistering and that
Speaker 1: sweat going down his forehead from that scalding hot dragon
Speaker 1: breath pepper chip. Yeah, so I had to make an
Speaker 1: executive decision. I'm like, okay, I don't exactly want to
Speaker 1: be the bad guy. I'm not gonna take a twenty
Speaker 1: chip away from him, but I also don't want him
Speaker 1: breaking it up into pieces and sharing it with other students,
Speaker 1: because there were a couple other students with their hands
Speaker 1: up like I want a piece of it, I want
Speaker 1: a piece of it. Yeah, so they all wanted to die. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I'd tell him. I said, look, I'll make a
Speaker 1: deal with you. If you sit down at your table
Speaker 1: over there and you have some milk next to you
Speaker 1: and you want to do it, it's yours. That's fine.
Speaker 1: I told him you don't want an ambulance showing up
Speaker 1: and you don't want it to be on your hand
Speaker 1: for some other student, and he understood what I was saying.
Speaker 1: So now fast forward twenty minutes. I walk into the
Speaker 1: main office. There are three kids right when you walk
Speaker 1: in to sitting in chairs waiting for the nurses office.
Speaker 1: Both kids in those chairs have swollen eyes, both rubbing
Speaker 1: their eyes. It looks like somebody socked them in the face. Uh.
Speaker 1: And there's another kid in the nurse's office rubbing his
Speaker 1: stomach and moaning. So this kid not only shared the
Speaker 1: stupid chip, but two of the other kids got some
Speaker 1: of the dust off of the chip and then touched
Speaker 1: their eyeballs. Oh No, like a triogy that that's a
Speaker 1: man quickly. Huh, Dean told me. Do you know anything
Speaker 1: about this? Oh No, and then you're the you let
Speaker 1: the chip. Yeah, you're getting fingered now, Gig the GIG,
Speaker 1: because I'm like, man, I'm gonna get written up with
Speaker 1: a yellow slip. I had to track this kid down,
Speaker 1: pull him in told him, man, I'm disappointed. I gave
Speaker 1: you a warning. I wanted you to be able to
Speaker 1: eat your own damn chip. Look what happened. What did
Speaker 1: the kids say? He said, well, it's not my fault.
Speaker 1: I walked away from the table to go get some
Speaker 1: water and the kids took a piece of it and
Speaker 1: rubbed it with their fingers on their own. Come on, man,
Speaker 1: after I talked to you, how are you? How are
Speaker 1: you gonna leave the chip unattended. I had to write
Speaker 1: him up with a yellow slip, and he's just one
Speaker 1: of the seven Ben there's only one other person on
Speaker 1: the campus that I know of that has written one
Speaker 1: of those slips right now. So it's seven to one.
Speaker 1: I'm the leader in the clubhouse. All right, you're the
Speaker 1: bad guy, but you gotta be the bad guy and
Speaker 1: these kids need disciplined Danny. All right, these are not
Speaker 1: straight a students. They stumble from time today you've got
Speaker 1: to keep them in life. Help. She's catching my special area. Alright,
Speaker 1: moving on, I've got the pogo stick real quick. So again,
Speaker 1: life of Mallard, life of D energy and we're an
Speaker 1: open book and all that. So last week we talked
Speaker 1: to her, I guess it was two weeks ago now.
Speaker 1: We talked about the Marianera madness. I was doing some, uh,
Speaker 1: some heavy cleaning for a recent party and I got
Speaker 1: down on my hands and knees, and this is a yeah,
Speaker 1: I know. So I trying to scrub. My wife loves these,
Speaker 1: these ridiculous parties, so I'm always cleaning and so I'm
Speaker 1: getting my hands dirty scrubb a dub dub. It was
Speaker 1: a team effort. Lots of sweat equity to clean up
Speaker 1: the dust, the dirt, the grime. This stuff adds up
Speaker 1: so quickly. So the week prior I was still recovering
Speaker 1: from getting cut open from the MERIAN era. My right
Speaker 1: foot and my left leg, if you forgot, were sliced
Speaker 1: open by glass from a garlic Marianara sauce that came
Speaker 1: tumbling down. So we now have more tails from the
Speaker 1: naked city. My life, ever since my last birthday in April,
Speaker 1: has turned into a VA villian comedy. I had a
Speaker 1: tooth of an affected tooth. I could have died. I've
Speaker 1: I've had this Marianera thing that took place and my
Speaker 1: latest Klutz move here is we'll call it Bernie the
Speaker 1: pogo stick. So I have been hopping around on one knee,
Speaker 1: oh my Akingde my right knee. Now, when I was
Speaker 1: scrubbing the floor, I aggravated this old knee injury. I
Speaker 1: actually got hurt not playing high school football. I didn't
Speaker 1: get hurt playing basketball. I got hurt at dodger stadium
Speaker 1: playing in a media baseball game years ago. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: so this is way back, like when Fox owned the team.
Speaker 1: Was a long time ago and several owners ago. So
Speaker 1: I got hurt in this media baseball game and I
Speaker 1: ended up in the trainers room at dodger stadium. My
Speaker 1: right knee was totally fucked up. My right hand was
Speaker 1: getting a workout, dare you, and I was limping around
Speaker 1: for a while and then it's one of those things
Speaker 1: where you probably should get some procedure done and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm a young guy, I'm not gonna worry about it. Well,
Speaker 1: now I'm middle aged guy and stuff starts popping up.
Speaker 1: But this thing it healed and it really didn't bother
Speaker 1: me for years. And so, you know, this thing acted
Speaker 1: up and I was hopping around, but it it got better,
Speaker 1: like last Friday. So I was able to cook, uh,
Speaker 1: this massive dinner of Fajitas and I was back as
Speaker 1: the griddle God. So I'm slaving away over the hot
Speaker 1: griddle and in my rush to get the food cooked
Speaker 1: and properly, I end up burning my right arm with
Speaker 1: with this gnarly mark. I'm gonna show you, Danny. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you can. It'll show up on the
Speaker 1: on the camera. I don't know if you can see.
Speaker 1: Oh Yeah, man, yeah, I'm showing. I'm showing bill. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's actually it's actually bigger than that. It goes
Speaker 1: from it's like it's like that big. I have a
Speaker 1: Stattin night John On. Anyway, it's it's pretty big and
Speaker 1: it's nasty and it's it's like a mix between a tattoo.
Speaker 1: I think it's more like how in Texas they brand cattle,
Speaker 1: you know. So I guess I'm a cow and I'm
Speaker 1: not being branded on a farm somewhere in Texas. So,
Speaker 1: but it gets even a branding. Yeah, yeah, exactly. But
Speaker 1: it gets even better, Danny. So remember. So my knee
Speaker 1: was messed up. It heals. I then Cook. I now
Speaker 1: have this bright red burn mark on my right wrist
Speaker 1: that hasn't gone away. So then that night, you know,
Speaker 1: we're sitting around and, uh, laying on the couch watching
Speaker 1: TV or whatever. My wife very kindly says, you know what,
Speaker 1: let me give you a little leg massage, and so
Speaker 1: she starts rubbing my knees and whatever she did made
Speaker 1: the knee that it healed ten times worse. I don't
Speaker 1: know what it was like pouring salt on the wound.
Speaker 1: And and so you you saw me, Danny earlier, think
Speaker 1: I was a wreck. I could not put any weight
Speaker 1: on my right leg. It was all swollen. Now part
Speaker 1: of it, I am told, is I'm a glutton for
Speaker 1: punishment because I did not take you're supposed to take
Speaker 1: ibuprofen to get the swelling to go down and I
Speaker 1: try to avoid that stuff. So for two and a
Speaker 1: half days I was a pogo stick, like Bernie the
Speaker 1: pogo stick. I had a burn mark on my arm.
Speaker 1: I had all this going on and it was just
Speaker 1: just a hot mess. But fortunately, as of today it's start.
Speaker 1: I don't want to jinx it, so I'll knock on
Speaker 1: wood here, but it's it is getting a little bit better,
Speaker 1: so hopefully we'll be able to avoid having to have
Speaker 1: a knee operation. I do not want my knee operated
Speaker 1: on if I can avoid it. I'd rather have occasional
Speaker 1: pain because I've had people I've known in my life
Speaker 1: that have had knee operations and usually it's never one.
Speaker 1: You have to go back and the other thing is Danny,
Speaker 1: I will guarantee you. I told I told some friends this.
Speaker 1: I said, if I go to the doctor, I know
Speaker 1: exactly what the doctor's gonna say. The doctors to say,
Speaker 1: Ben you're a FATASS. Lose some weight. That's what the
Speaker 1: doctor's gonna say, and I'll be like, well, doctor, I've
Speaker 1: lost a lot of weight. I've lost two hundred pounds,
Speaker 1: I gained a hundred back, I lost another hundred pounds.
Speaker 1: I don't know what more I can do. He said,
Speaker 1: I don't care, you're too fat. That's what that's what
Speaker 1: the doctor's gonna say. So why do I need? Why
Speaker 1: do I need to pay money to to to my
Speaker 1: insurance company to go to the doctors so the doctor
Speaker 1: can tell me I'm a large ass? Already know that. Okay. Well,
Speaker 1: hopefully this will be a Justin Herbert type situation where
Speaker 1: you will be seen later today skipping around the Mallard Mansion. Yes,
Speaker 1: I go skip any skip, skip real quick. We've got
Speaker 1: the backscratcher. We didn't do it last week and we
