Speaker 1: Kutbooms.
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 2: of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: The clearing House of hot takes break free for something special.
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1: In the air ywhere The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Speaker 1: Maller and my man Danny g Radio on this NFL Sunday.
Speaker 1: Still sometime to watch Benny Versus the Penny if you're
Speaker 1: one of our early bird listeners here on Sunday or otherwise,
Speaker 1: you can just watch the games and maybe watch the show,
Speaker 1: after which it'll be up on Peacock until you know
Speaker 1: next week. I guess I think they leave the this
Speaker 1: weekend show up, But anyway, either way, we are hanging
Speaker 1: out with you, getting ready to watch some football today.
Speaker 1: Although Danny, I know you're you're not at home, so
Speaker 1: I don't know how much football you're gonna be watching today.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Usually at these hotels we don't turn the TV
Speaker 3: on too much, but I'll still watch a lot of
Speaker 3: NFL on my phone today. There you go.
Speaker 1: Well, yesterday was national we were supposed to appreciate short women.
Speaker 1: Today is just national short persons. So it's a big
Speaker 1: weekend if you're short. Just hey shoddy, hey shoddy, vige wee. Again,
Speaker 1: it's mathematics day today, so let's ignore that the birth
Speaker 1: anniversary of India's famed mathematician. I'm not going to try
Speaker 1: to pronounce this dude's name, but India, God bless him.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he was amazing.
Speaker 3: What are the drops that I use on the regular
Speaker 3: on our show.
Speaker 1: I'm not a numbers guy, but that doesn't seem to
Speaker 1: add up that math ain't mathing like that. You know,
Speaker 1: Hey man, whenever I don't know the answer, I just
Speaker 1: say malord math because malor math is never wrong.
Speaker 3: Da. Yeah, Radio didn't get into this to do math.
Speaker 1: There's no math. Although when I was a kid, you're
Speaker 1: around my age, daty, Remember they said you're not going
Speaker 1: to have a calculator with you when you're out in
Speaker 1: the real world. All they're carrying calculators. They lied to us, Danny.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not everybody can afford those Cassio calculator watches.
Speaker 1: Everyone who has a smartphone has a calculator, so eighty
Speaker 1: percent of the world's got calculators on them at any time.
Speaker 1: So those teachers that wouldn't let us use calculators are
Speaker 1: full of shit.
Speaker 3: And when I think of the advanced math classes I
Speaker 3: took in high school, what a free waiste.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is shame. All right, let's get to it.
Speaker 1: This is the mail bag, and that means, ohio au,
Speaker 1: it's this bag. All right, thank you, thank you. These
Speaker 1: are actual letters by actual listeners. You guys have been
Speaker 1: great a week after week, year after year. Every once
Speaker 1: in a while, will see what if nobody sends a question,
Speaker 1: I'll be screwed. What are we gonna do? But I've
Speaker 1: never had to worry about that. So Real fifth Hour
Speaker 1: at Gmail, Well I have worried about it, but it's
Speaker 1: one of those things you worry about where you don't
Speaker 1: need to worry about. It's a waste of my time.
Speaker 1: Real fifth Hour at gmail dot com. Real fifth Hour
Speaker 1: at gmail dot com. If you want to send a question,
Speaker 1: and if you want to send some in I'm not
Speaker 1: sure we are going to do the pod next weekend,
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure exactly when or probably more of
Speaker 1: an evergreen. I'm not sure when we're going to do it,
Speaker 1: if you know what I mean. So if you want
Speaker 1: to get a question in, you can send it today.
Speaker 1: And because I'm not sure exactly when that pod will
Speaker 1: be done, so if you want, if we have enough
Speaker 1: evergreen questions, I will be more than happy to do
Speaker 1: a mail bag. Otherwise we'll do something else. So it's
Speaker 1: really up to you, guys, which means.
Speaker 3: All the questions have to be about trees.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, or your favorite kind of chemical spray in
Speaker 1: the bathroom. You can talk about that, would you like?
Speaker 1: You know, isn't there evergreen spread anyway? Real fifth Hour
Speaker 1: no letters or no letters, no numbers, all letters, Real,
Speaker 1: spell it out, Real fifth Hour. If you don't know
Speaker 1: how to spell, that's probably a problem that you should
Speaker 1: deal with on your own. Real fifth Hour at gmail
Speaker 1: dot com and send your question in and we'll have
Speaker 1: we'll have some fun. So first one is from Alf
Speaker 1: from the Storage Unit says happy holidays, gentlemen. What's the
Speaker 1: coolest swag or perk that you have received from being
Speaker 1: in the radio business? Yeah, so I have, ALF. I
Speaker 1: used to do commercials. I'll go first, Danny, I have
Speaker 1: a Sleep Number bed, a very nice Sleep Number bed
Speaker 1: that was a gift from Sleep Number for me doing
Speaker 1: commercials back in the day. That's probably ten years ago,
Speaker 1: and I still have the bed. It works great. I
Speaker 1: love it. It's amazing and every night I go to bed
Speaker 1: on my Sleep Number bed and it's wonderful. You can
Speaker 1: adjust it depending on your back and whatnot. My wife
Speaker 1: loves it. She I think will ever have another bed.
Speaker 1: I mean, if we get another bed, we'll get another
Speaker 1: Sleep Numbers. I'm trying to say. It's very expensive though.
Speaker 1: Those things are not cheap, and I'd love for them.
Speaker 1: Danny to return as a sponsor, if you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Danny wink wink. No, No, that would be cool.
Speaker 1: Other than that, I mean, I mean a couple of
Speaker 1: trips here, I don't, I don't try. You know, Danny's fortunate.
Speaker 1: He gets to go a lot of trips. I very
Speaker 1: rarely get trips. I've I've had a lot of fun
Speaker 1: with the TV show. They send me to Boston every
Speaker 1: year to hang out and record stuff for the TV show,
Speaker 1: So that's really been the main main part. When I
Speaker 1: first got into radio, I got to go to the
Speaker 1: World Series on the you know, back in the nineties
Speaker 1: that was awesome and stuff. But the trips have been fun.
Speaker 1: But the bed's probably the one that I've used more
Speaker 1: than anything. What about you, Danny, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, the trips are cool for Covino and Rich, although
Speaker 3: I will say the two of them are the lucky
Speaker 3: ones on those trips because they just got to worry
Speaker 3: about cracking their microphones or their headsets and talking, whereas
Speaker 3: I'm still ring my laptop around producing and editing this
Speaker 3: fine podcast, plus doing the same for them and doing
Speaker 3: all the behind the scenes work for their broadcasting. So
Speaker 3: even though it's fun to travel, it's a shit ton
Speaker 3: of work for me. So when they go out and
Speaker 3: drink with the listeners afterwards, I go to my hotel
Speaker 3: room and collapse. But it's still nice to get to
Speaker 3: go visit other cities. Back when I was a kid
Speaker 3: in radio ben I got Lasik eye surgery and all
Speaker 3: I had to do was voice the commercials.
Speaker 1: Oh I remember that there was a pew time. Everyone
Speaker 1: in radio is doing those Lasik eye commerce My name
Speaker 1: is so and so, and I had Mike and see
Speaker 1: twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: Now, you know, it was awesome if I had to
Speaker 3: do an updated commercial for them. Now I could talk
Speaker 3: about how I'm one of the national broadcasters who's blind. No,
Speaker 3: my eyesight is still cool, although I do have some
Speaker 3: floaters from time to time, which worries me.
Speaker 1: Well, wasn't that just a sign of getting older? You know?
Speaker 1: I don't z.
Speaker 3: I hope not.
Speaker 1: He knows, I don't know what. Well, we'd have to
Speaker 1: do a deep dive on what causes the floaters. So
Speaker 1: that's a pretty cool thing that helped you your visions.
Speaker 3: Oh it did, Yeah, and did not have to worry
Speaker 3: about contacts or wearing glasses this whole time has been awesome.
Speaker 3: And then and then the last thing, Benny, right here
Speaker 3: where I'm at in San Diego and in some other
Speaker 3: cities where there are theme parks, now you can't get
Speaker 3: enough tickets for your whole party. But I've known the
Speaker 3: folks at SeaWorld, and I've known the folks at the
Speaker 3: Zoo since I programmed FM radio stations back in the day.
Speaker 3: So I'm friendly with the promotions directors at all of
Speaker 3: the parks. From time to time can get some preebies
Speaker 3: from the theme parks, which has been awesome.
Speaker 1: Oh that's cool. Yeah, I used to get free, you know,
Speaker 1: free stuff back in the day. I really my wife
Speaker 1: always gives me a hard time, so you really should
Speaker 1: try to get more first, I know, but I hate
Speaker 1: asking people for stuff, so I'm always like, that's always
Speaker 1: the hard part.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's a it's like a long drawn out
Speaker 3: process too, a lot of emails back and forth, a
Speaker 3: lot of printing things out two forms of ID and
Speaker 3: email a picture of this, and your credentials are needed
Speaker 3: for that. And so if you have the time and
Speaker 3: patience to do it, it's nice. But there are a lot
Speaker 3: of radio people and TV people that are just too
Speaker 3: lazy to deal with any of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, and like some I think as one
Speaker 1: of the guys I was talking to at the party said,
Speaker 1: they got they knew somebody at Disney. If you email
Speaker 1: somebody at Disney, if you work for our company, they'll
Speaker 1: let you, like once a year go to Disney for free.
Speaker 3: That's a huge It used to be the case, but
Speaker 3: Disney put the kebash on that.
Speaker 1: I was told it was back.
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, good to know, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: Who to hell the email.
Speaker 3: Right, Well, find that you're talking to the guy who
Speaker 3: sniffed out the Mike Tyson team and Donald Trump's cell phone.
Speaker 2: I said, you get the president of the vone, you
Speaker 2: deserve a raise.
Speaker 1: Well, Danny, if I will deputize you, if you can
Speaker 1: find the right person, let me know. My wife will
Speaker 1: be forever grateful. Will make you what any kind of
Speaker 1: cookie you want, although I know you're not eating cookies now.
Speaker 1: Barry from South Carolina, who might be moving for now
Speaker 1: South Carolina says Yo Yo Ma. Benny and Danny g
Speaker 1: Inquiring minds want to know, on average, how many questions
Speaker 1: do you guys get every week for the mailbag? A
Speaker 1: good question, anywhere from eight to I think one. You know,
Speaker 1: if something crazy happens like when Ady got let Go,
Speaker 1: we got a lot. I am a lot more than that.
Speaker 1: It's usually eight to fifteen or so a week. Sometimes
Speaker 1: we've gotten twenty five, which is a ton I think
Speaker 1: for a podcast whatever, But we usually only have time
Speaker 1: for anywhere on ten. Right, Yeah, you get to about
Speaker 1: ten a week. A lot of the months Berry I
Speaker 1: get I can't even use They're just how do I
Speaker 1: describe this? There's people that somehow managed to use email
Speaker 1: but don't know how to spell certain things, and they
Speaker 1: well they'll just send sporty questions in which we don't
Speaker 1: really use on this podcast. We try to avoid that.
Speaker 1: But usually anywhere from eight to fifteen to twenty and
Speaker 1: you know, some weeks if something when Adie got like,
Speaker 1: like I said, that was a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of f you Ben or your show blows or whatever.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like that kind of thing, which people,
Speaker 1: I think, believe that I was responsible for that, Danny,
Speaker 1: that I had some kind of power to do that,
Speaker 1: which was not true. I don't have any power, trust me,
Speaker 1: no power. I certainly would have done that anyway. So
Speaker 1: that's the answer. Barry. Next one Harry in Europe, writing
Speaker 1: in Okay. He says he's in Poland. He's just visiting. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to go to Poland
Speaker 1: right now, but I don't know why you're there anyway,
Speaker 1: he says, why would anyone buy this? He sent me
Speaker 1: a story he found on the Internet of a Michelin
Speaker 1: starred restaurant. According to the headline here in Washington, d
Speaker 1: C has unveiled luxury water menu. It features a ninety
Speaker 1: five dollars bottle of a melted Canadian iceberg.
Speaker 3: So they say that actually sounds good. I would drink
Speaker 3: more water.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know you're guessing here. This is like
Speaker 1: the ultimate bullshit. It's like those people that said, we
Speaker 1: remember we had the story a couple of weeks back
Speaker 1: about the people sending air from I forget somewhere in
Speaker 1: Italy or whatever. Yeah, I mean, it's like, it's just bullshit.
Speaker 1: It's one of those things. My theory has always been,
Speaker 1: it's like those we do foody fun on Friday usually,
Speaker 1: and those gimmick items they can overcharge for, right, And
Speaker 1: you know, I mean like the nick Ribs sauce, the
Speaker 1: gallon of McRib sauce, which probably cost McDonald's about two dollars.
Speaker 3: Dude, Maybe we could get the youth of America to
Speaker 3: start sniffing smog. They like to vape you and I been.
Speaker 3: We could bottle smog from Sherman Oaks, California and sell it.
Speaker 1: If you're down. I'm not kidding. If we had a
Speaker 1: cool logo made on little bottles. Yeah, and just as
Speaker 1: a gimmick, and we charge like fifteen bucks or twenty
Speaker 1: bucks a bottle of La smoggy air.
Speaker 3: Word of mouth. Can you imagine like a kid seeing
Speaker 3: another kid? What is that is that some sort of vape. Nah, man,
Speaker 3: this is a smogger.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is La Small, not just any smog.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh dude, that would be big. And then we
Speaker 3: could do different logos for the different city smog.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we'd have like like you know, East La Small.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and bro, after school, we're going to hit the Chicago.
Speaker 1: Oh, big time, big time. That's a great idea, It's all.
Speaker 1: But I answer your question, Harry, it's all like it's
Speaker 1: a scam because they scam's the right word. But water's water, right,
Speaker 1: it's all. I mean, what are you doing?
Speaker 3: Please?
Speaker 1: And you know ninety five dollars dude?
Speaker 3: Can you imagine the Lax smager. Oh that'd be a
Speaker 3: top starer anybody. If you ever fly into our neck
Speaker 3: of the woods and you fly into Lax, just take
Speaker 3: a glimpse.
Speaker 1: He blew me off at a hotel near Lax.
Speaker 3: The dirty sky around you, right around the airport there.
Speaker 3: It's so filthy, it's pretty bad.
Speaker 1: Next one's from Reggie from Detroit, who has been a
Speaker 1: semi regular email over these. I'm hurt from Reggie in
Speaker 1: a while anyway. He says, Hey, Ben and Danny, defend
Speaker 1: your city and then he sent me a link here
Speaker 1: to the LA Foody event they had celebrating the top
Speaker 1: restaurants in Los Angeles where dozens of people were sickened
Speaker 1: from eating food. I guess they ate raw oysters at
Speaker 1: this top restaurant event and had to go get medical
Speaker 1: help and stuff. So Reggie wants us to defend that. Well,
Speaker 1: anyone's eating the raw oysters. In my opinion is it's
Speaker 1: like essentially playing Russian Roulette with your stomach, asking for
Speaker 1: something really bad to happen. You're asking for bad results there.
Speaker 1: I did see this actually the other day. I thought
Speaker 1: it was like a nineteen eighties comedy Danny, doesn't that
Speaker 1: seem like? Or a Saturday Night Live skip back when
Speaker 1: Saturday Night was good where they have the top restaurants
Speaker 1: and all these foodies are there and they end up
Speaker 1: getting sick from the food at the top rest I
Speaker 1: mean it sounds like a comedy move.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, outside of the event were a whole
Speaker 3: bunch of street vendors with the bacon dogs and nobody
Speaker 3: got sick from those. Surprisingly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the funny. The amount of bacon dog salespeople
Speaker 1: in LA and they don't follow the safety code. No,
Speaker 1: I consume those and enjoy them.
Speaker 3: And the only way to eat oysters is baked. If
Speaker 3: you're gonna have them, the baked oysters are goodw oysters
Speaker 3: your nuts if you eat those.
Speaker 1: Not into the seafood thing unless I eat seafood once
Speaker 1: a year. Beer battered fish sticks. That's it. Tastes like chicken.
Speaker 1: Nelson from the Bay Area Rights and he says, hey,
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny, this is probably a minister golf for you, Ben,
Speaker 1: But how is this possible? And he sent the story
Speaker 1: this week from the forty nine ers quarterback Brock Purty,
Speaker 1: who gave his offensive linemen ten brand new toyotas that
Speaker 1: cost nine hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: Well, well he didn't pay all of that. He got
Speaker 3: a huge discount.
Speaker 1: Well, not only the You gotta understand that people are
Speaker 1: so dumb. This is the season of quarterbacks giving gifts
Speaker 1: to their offensive linemen. It is also the season of
Speaker 1: those gifts. It's called product placement. I believe, not in
Speaker 1: every case, not in every case, but a lot of them.
Speaker 1: Our product placement. Okay, that's that's what this is. Where
Speaker 1: Brock Party, from what I understand, he has a deal
Speaker 1: with Toyota. They does commercials. His salary this year for
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers is nine hundred and thirty four
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. So are you that naive? Are people that
Speaker 1: global Danny like? Oh? I can't but that he spent
Speaker 1: his entire salary to get offensive line.
Speaker 3: I saw that. And then the starting five O linemen
Speaker 3: make almost thirty eight million combined. Should they be buying
Speaker 3: him some souped up vehicle? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So no, it's like they put the little cartoon red
Speaker 1: you know, those giant oversized bows and crap. They put
Speaker 1: that on the Yeah, this was a commercial for Toyota.
Speaker 1: Good for Toyota. Right, we're promoting them too. It's free,
Speaker 1: not free, they're paying for it. But if you think
Speaker 1: that Brock Party went out and spent nine hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars on cars, you're just a dope. I don't know
Speaker 1: what to tell you, all right, And just like you know,
Speaker 1: do you think was the story? What's the quarterback of
Speaker 1: the Bengals? There? Burrow? He gave his offensive lineman katana sorts.
Speaker 1: He probably got to deal with them. And these guys
Speaker 1: are neghosting their agents Negotia. Hey, we're gonna give this out.
Speaker 1: It's going to be picked up by ESPN and Fox
Speaker 1: and they're all gonna write stories about an online and
Speaker 1: everyone tries to live through these quarterbacks. So you get
Speaker 1: this amount of advertising, what can you do for us? Uh?
Speaker 1: Not again, not every case, but a fair amount of
Speaker 1: those are product placement. And I remember we worked with
Speaker 1: an old offensive lineman back and then he told us
Speaker 1: that and we've talked about so his quarterback one one year.
Speaker 1: This goes way back to like the early two thousands
Speaker 1: in the oats gave some gifts out and the offensive
Speaker 1: lineman found out that he had he had a side
Speaker 1: deal with There were like suits, he had a side
Speaker 1: deal with this haberdashery and they were the offensive line
Speaker 1: where we're not rappy about that. Dude, you didn't pay
Speaker 1: for this, Mike writes in from the Capital of the North,
Speaker 1: Paul Fullerton. He says, Happy Honakh and Merry Christmas to you,
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny g With Honkah beginning on the same
Speaker 1: day as Christmas this year, do you still think Santa
Speaker 1: Claus and Hanakah Harry will be able to deliver presents
Speaker 1: to all the good boys and girls around the world.
Speaker 1: My nephew's worried they'll crash into each other mid air.
Speaker 1: Can you please convince him everything will be okay, thank you.
Speaker 3: By the way, Covino and Rich on Friday's Afternoon Show,
Speaker 3: they were saying that the ultimate plug for you would
Speaker 3: be to get into Adam Sandler's next version of the
Speaker 3: Hanukkah song.
Speaker 1: Oh, that would be wonderful. Yeah.
Speaker 3: They they were petitioning Adam Sandler to name drop you
Speaker 3: in the next version of his classic.
Speaker 1: That would be that would that would be a dream
Speaker 1: come true because those things get played, as you know, Danny, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: one month or one month. Yeah, so I think it'll
Speaker 1: be okay. Imagine the bar when they get done for
Speaker 1: the night. Now, the problem is, Honakah Harry's got to
Speaker 1: work for eight nights. Santa Claus only has one night.
Speaker 1: So Santa Claus and Honaka har imagine the I'm going
Speaker 1: out to like a dive bar after they get done
Speaker 1: for the night. And then but Hanakah Harry, you know,
Speaker 1: he can't drink too much. He's because he's got to
Speaker 1: come back to work for seven more nights after that,
Speaker 1: where Santa just goes back to the North Pole and
Speaker 1: chills out until next next Christmas. But yeah, they should
Speaker 1: be fine, they should be all right.
Speaker 3: Now we have a stupid elf on the shelf thing
Speaker 3: that parents do for Christmas. Yeah, is there anything Jewish
Speaker 3: people do like that?
Speaker 1: Yeah? There there, there is actually a Jewish version of
Speaker 1: the Elf on the shelf. Because marketing people realize, you
Speaker 1: know what we're gonna do. We're gonna find a way
Speaker 1: to get the Jews to spend some money on this,
Speaker 1: And so it was what's the name of it's Mensch
Speaker 1: on the bench is what it is?
Speaker 3: Actually, Oh okay, I've heard of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Mench on a bench is the Jewish counterpart.
Speaker 1: And when when Christmas happens? Actually this is kind of crazy.
Speaker 1: So Mensch on the Bench and the Elf they also
Speaker 1: get together and they have a brunch. They have a
Speaker 1: nice and the mench on the bench brings some bagels.
Speaker 3: Do you think parents are overdoing things when they set
Speaker 3: up these scenes every night when the kids are asleep?
Speaker 1: I yeah, I mean it's I think it's competitive for
Speaker 1: a lot of parents, right, and some of it is
Speaker 1: for the gram right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, for sure.
Speaker 1: Some of the stuff is absolutely Hey look at look
Speaker 1: at what a great parent. I am, you know, look
Speaker 1: at what I'm doing that whole thing, And but it's
Speaker 1: kind of fun to mess with your kids, I guess,
Speaker 1: and have some fun with it.
Speaker 3: Why not? What the heck? Yeah, if you get to
Speaker 3: write on their face and pretend like the elf did it.
Speaker 1: Exactly, Riley writes in from somewhere in New Jersey, says, hey,
Speaker 1: bend and Danny Joe, the pod UFO expert this week
Speaker 1: said he believes the recent drone stings here in Jersey
Speaker 1: are going to be a precursor to an alien invasion
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. Are you prepared, Riley says, Yes,
Speaker 1: here's my plan, Danny. What I'm gonna do is, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go to Costco over the next couple of weeks
Speaker 1: and buy all the toilet paper, the water, bottle water,
Speaker 1: and all the cleaning products, disinfectant, whatnot and masks, just
Speaker 1: so I'm prepared. And then will I will price gouge
Speaker 1: people when the aliens arrive, because they'll all be we
Speaker 1: know what happened. We learned in twenty twenty right that
Speaker 1: you just run out whatever happens, buy a lot of
Speaker 1: toilet paper, water, bottled water, masks, cleaning products and what
Speaker 1: else would you need of an alien invasion happened.
Speaker 3: There's like an apol person beside it, and another one's inside,
Speaker 3: and it has big guys.

Speaker 1: we have them over in we have them over where
Speaker 1: the area fifty one in near Vegas, outside Vegas we.
Speaker 3: Have Yeah, and then you and I instead of the smagger,
Speaker 3: we could market Q sunglasses.

Speaker 1: up with a business model, and I think it's a
Speaker 1: great I'm sure somebody's done it, right, We have to.
Speaker 1: Somebody's had to have done that.

Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's it's fine, what it's like, is a
Speaker 1: hot dog a sandwich? Is it? If the hot dogs
Speaker 1: a sandwich, is a taco a sandwich. It's the same concept.
Speaker 3: When we think of a Christmas movie, it's a movie
Speaker 3: that we always watch every single year around Christmas time.
Speaker 3: So look, Gremlins happens at Christmas time? Is that a
Speaker 3: Christmas movie?
Speaker 1: No, it's not exactly. By the way I mentioned yesterday
Speaker 1: on the pot I was at the same set they
Speaker 1: used for Back to the Future. Is what they used
Speaker 1: in the opening scene of Gremlins?
Speaker 3: Oh okay, cool?
Speaker 1: A little town square thing they have their universal.
Speaker 3: Just watch that the other night Man when you see
Speaker 3: the effects. If they were able to reboot that or
Speaker 3: remake that, it would look way cooler than it did
Speaker 3: back in the eighties. Yeah, what was the one? I
Speaker 3: looks like a little toy the magwa It looks like
Speaker 3: a little like a stuffed animal in the movie? Was
Speaker 3: it the.
Speaker 1: Christmas Story where the kids stuck his is remember his
Speaker 1: tongue on the Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. Watch that elf?
Speaker 3: I don't know, oh the claymation the Rudolph to watch and.
Speaker 1: Then National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Chevy Chase Classic. And now Elf has joined
Speaker 3: the list of classics.
Speaker 1: Bad Sansus twenty years old.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's a crazy yeah. And some
Speaker 3: people argue whether or not Home Alone two is actually
Speaker 3: better than Home Alone.
Speaker 1: And I remember on Christmas on I think it was
Speaker 1: Channel two, Channel two in La Nanny, they had a
Speaker 1: Charlie Brown Christmas you remember that, yep.
Speaker 3: Every and now there's some TV channels where all they
Speaker 3: do is play Christmas Story on a loop. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: which was just pretty cool.
Speaker 1: My wife loves these cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies.
Speaker 3: Which I've seen them on in the living room here too.
Speaker 1: I want to poke my eyes out till I bleed.
Speaker 3: But there's even a Kansas City Chiefs one this year.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I actually know some people that were in that
Speaker 1: when they filmed it in Kansas City. When I was
Speaker 1: in Kansas City, I met some people that were like
Speaker 1: extras in the movie. So about that? Are they fame?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe they're famous. You're in a movie.
Speaker 3: Ever been in a movie?
Speaker 1: I don't think, As far as I know, I've not
Speaker 1: been in a movie. That'd be kind of cool. All right,
Speaker 1: time for a couple more. We got to get out
Speaker 1: of here. Things to do, places to go, whatnot see
Speaker 1: here from Cincinnati Tommy, he writes, Sin says, Hey, Benny
Speaker 1: the Brazen and Danny G. Money, I heard you briefly
Speaker 1: speak this week of a new bit under consideration involving
Speaker 1: Lorraine Up.
Speaker 3: He said.
Speaker 1: The streets are talking. I hope it's my suggestion set
Speaker 1: last weekend. If so, I appreciate it, and please credit
Speaker 1: the idea to Cincinnati Tommy, not Cindy Tommy. I fat
Speaker 1: fingered my name.
Speaker 3: Love.
Speaker 1: Happy holidays, gentlemen. That explained that, Yeah, we are planning
Speaker 1: on doing that. We were going to do it last week.
Speaker 1: I want to I want to plan it out better.
Speaker 1: And plus it's the holidays, and the next couple of
Speaker 1: weeks you're going to be kind of messed up schedule wise,
Speaker 1: so I think we'll wait until until we get back
Speaker 1: into the swing of things on the regular schedule in
Speaker 1: early January. So the next ten days or so going
Speaker 1: to be kind of crazy. But yeah, we are planning
Speaker 1: on doing that. We want to figure out which day
Speaker 1: of the week to do it. And it was a
Speaker 1: great idea, and I talked to Loraina about it, Tommy,
Speaker 1: and she's cool with it, so we'll make it happen.
Speaker 1: Are you Smarter than the FSR Tech Queen? We'll be
Speaker 1: popping up And my dream board would be to have
Speaker 1: we're trying to figure out how many people we want
Speaker 1: to play nanny? Is it just Loraina versus a caller?
Speaker 1: Should we have Loraina versus two callers? Like we're trying
Speaker 1: to figure out the logistics on it. Okay, dream would
Speaker 1: be to have Loraina versus Blair in Maine? And what
Speaker 1: a time? Now?
Speaker 3: Is it going to be multiple choice?
Speaker 1: Yeah? See that's the other thing. Do you do? Multiple choice?
Speaker 1: And I watched some of Are You Smarter than the
Speaker 1: Fifth Grader? But they had like first, second, third, fourth
Speaker 1: grade questions working.
Speaker 3: Up working up the board?
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, that's hard to imagine anyone would get the
Speaker 1: first grade questions wrong, but you never know. Anyway, we'll
Speaker 1: figure that out. But that great idea, Tommy, and so
Speaker 1: thank you. That will be coming to the show at
Speaker 1: some point. Here, Ryan from Shrewsbury, mass Right since says,
