Speaker 1: Kabooms.
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 gutter the same as the
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to Clearinghouse of
Speaker 2: hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour

Speaker 1: Hour with Ben Mahler and Danny g Radio hanging out
Speaker 1: at the audio Doe Joe, as we have become yokozunas
Speaker 1: of the podcast game, which, as you know, Danny, I

Speaker 1: samurai world, the yokozuna. So very very exciting. And here
Speaker 1: we are, and it is Sunday. It's an NFL Sunday
Speaker 1: Week four. I have lost the last two weeks to
Speaker 1: a damn penny tremendously embarrassing to me, Danny. The immense
Speaker 1: pressure of television is destroying my reputation as a game.
Speaker 1: I had the greatest year I've ever had last year.
Speaker 1: I'm off to the worst start i've ever had. This
Speaker 1: year just a nightmare.
Speaker 3: It's easy to attribute that to me being the penny
Speaker 3: last season and now suddenly you are up against you
Speaker 3: know who.
Speaker 1: Am I on? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Looney Tunes? Yeah, he cursed you, he cursed you.
Speaker 1: Yes he did.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And by the way, the show's going to air a
Speaker 1: few more times this morning if you're listening very early
Speaker 1: in the morning before the NFL games kickoff at one
Speaker 1: o'clock Eastern. In fact, we have a slot. I think
Speaker 1: we're on again today. I'll have to check SNY in
Speaker 1: New York City. We have the eleven thirty am timeslot
Speaker 1: on s n Y. We've been on there the last
Speaker 1: three weeks. We've been on there eleven thirty on Sunday.
Speaker 1: And so if you're in New York and you have SNY,
Speaker 1: check that out. Danny, this is Sunday, and so you
Speaker 1: know what that means.
Speaker 3: Mail mother sucker, it's in this mail bag.
Speaker 1: Thank you, ohioal as you grace us with your brilliance
Speaker 1: yet again. So here in the mail bag. First up,
Speaker 1: we have Mike from Fullerton who writes and he says,
Speaker 1: top of the morning, till you've been And Danny g
Speaker 1: was last Friday's foot Fungus Mala monologue a one off
Speaker 1: or will toe Talk be a perma feature on the
Speaker 1: fifth Hour? Moving forward, It's funny because we did a
Speaker 1: newbie night this week on the Overnight show, Danny, and
Speaker 1: this guy called up from Maryland, this old guy, and
Speaker 1: he's like, you know, I really liked your show. You know,
Speaker 1: you're one of the great sportscasters. He compared me to
Speaker 1: Harry Carey and some other people. But there's always that butt,
Speaker 1: you know. Then he he said, you have this weird
Speaker 1: thing where you like talking about bodily functions and you
Speaker 1: bring up the toes, and you bring up the farting
Speaker 1: and all that stuff and the vomit comet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he's not wrong.
Speaker 1: He got upset with me. But Mike, I'm not anti toe.
Speaker 1: I have all my toes, and I have disgusting toes.
Speaker 1: I have the most disgusting toes in radio. So at
Speaker 1: any time, if Atonio falls off or toe turns black,
Speaker 1: I will share with you all the gunk underneath my toenail.
Speaker 1: I did not, at least I didn't send out a
Speaker 1: photo of what was underneath my toenail. I could have
Speaker 1: done that, which would give someone a reason to puke.
Speaker 1: But I didn't do that, Danny.
Speaker 3: I didn't do that. And this past Thursday night, you
Speaker 3: would have loved Bachelor and Paradise. One of the women
Speaker 3: who debuted on the new season on the beach there,
Speaker 3: asked the first guy that she made out with if
Speaker 3: he would suck her toes, and he examined them. He said, yeah,
Speaker 3: if you get that sand off of them. So she
Speaker 3: proceeded to go over to the ocean, get her feet
Speaker 3: in the water, and then come back. And she's like,
Speaker 3: all right, I'm ready now. Em I couldn't help but
Speaker 3: think of you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well again I am. I don't have a foot fetch.
Speaker 1: People think I'm like Rex Ryan over here.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 1: I am not a toe sucker. I just think it's
Speaker 1: funny how upset Eddie gets when I mentioned that he
Speaker 1: gets the heat and GBI's when I bring that up,
Speaker 1: and so I think it's got funny. Mike also says,
Speaker 1: did you did you hear some show called Covino and
Speaker 1: Mitch I had a big anniversary party this week that
Speaker 1: got me thinking, does the Ben Malor shows anniversary get celebrated?
Speaker 1: Says if Casino and Rich get to have a party
Speaker 1: in cake, then you deserve one two. Very funny. I
Speaker 1: see what you did there. No, I don't even know
Speaker 1: when the anniversary of the show isn't.
Speaker 3: I don't remember that job by your producers.
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about, Danny. I have
Speaker 1: no idea. You know, my producers would stay all night
Speaker 1: and and work overtime and go the extra mile to
Speaker 1: to produce imaging.
Speaker 3: Now are you telling me even if that entire night
Speaker 3: was unpaid, they would still do it.
Speaker 1: Of course, the dedication to the show, the commitment for
Speaker 1: excellence and audio. I think the last time we had
Speaker 1: new imaging you were working on the show. I think.
Speaker 1: Not that I'm complaining, mind you, I'm not complaining. I
Speaker 1: love the old imaging. I love it. It's so good
Speaker 1: we keep it. It's like an old car in Cuba.
Speaker 1: You know how they drive around those old cars from
Speaker 1: the nineteen sixties and fifties in Cuba. It's kind of like,
Speaker 1: should we just used the same you know, the same images,
Speaker 1: same opens, the whole thing.
Speaker 3: But you didn't even get the s on what is it?
Speaker 3: Lame joke?
Speaker 1: Yeah? No, we couldn't afford the s which we contacted
Speaker 1: Pat Sajack, And they said, no, you can't. You can't
Speaker 1: buy an as you can't do it.
Speaker 3: So I thought by now you'd at least have the
Speaker 3: s Yeah.
Speaker 1: Next up on the mailbag, Ja from the Motor City, Detroit.
Speaker 1: We don't get a lot of people from Detroit that
Speaker 1: send them send us messages, Jay says, Ben liked the show.
Speaker 1: Enjoy the podcast. Have you considered he oh, this is good, Danny,
Speaker 1: you'll get a kick out of this. Have you considered
Speaker 1: a Malord inspired restaurant like your colleague Colin Cowhard has.
Speaker 1: What would be on the menu? Yeah? Sure, well I'll
Speaker 1: just start a restaurant, Yes, yeah, yeah, what the.
Speaker 3: That would be great? Though? The menu could be filled
Speaker 3: with hot.
Speaker 1: Takee ah, there you go. No, I'll tell you listen,
Speaker 1: I could make them. If stuff I make, it would
Speaker 1: be a pretty good restaurant.
Speaker 3: And then lukewarm gambling picks.
Speaker 1: Hey, how dare you we could have the petty special?
Speaker 1: Right penny for your thoughts? You know that I would
Speaker 1: have here's my menu, Ja, And and didn't Coward partner
Speaker 1: with some big restaurant company? So yeah, if somebody wants
Speaker 1: to partner with me, the Malard the malard menu would
Speaker 1: have chicken fingers, pizza, cheese, steak and what else do
Speaker 1: I make? Famidas fried fried chicken sandwiches. Yeah, fry cookies, oatmeal,
Speaker 1: chocolate chip, sugar cookies with frosting, teraoki, chicken and rice.
Speaker 1: And that's it. Not a damn thing more than that.
Speaker 1: That's all I know how to make. Oh, pasta, I
Speaker 1: don't really do a lot of pasta. I don't do pasta, so.
Speaker 3: You would need one pasta dish. That way you could
Speaker 3: stay in business because you could charge twenty two dollars
Speaker 3: for your pasta plate and it costs you like twenty
Speaker 3: two cents.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the Yeah, I'd like the feticini alfredo and
Speaker 1: uh yeah, that'll cost you thirty six dollars. Okay, So
Speaker 1: that is a few noodles and some sauce, some white sauce,
Speaker 1: and that's okay. Yeah, Jay, I liked it. You think
Speaker 1: I'm bigger than I am. God bless you. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think we'll have any worry about a mal
Speaker 1: or theme restaurant. But if somebody would like to start
Speaker 1: a restaurant, Danny, you want to partner with me on
Speaker 1: the restaurant, we could do a theme restaurant together. I
Speaker 1: think you'd be in on that.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, No, I don't think the restaurant business is
Speaker 3: something you want to go into.
Speaker 1: Well, not if it's not my If it's not my money,
Speaker 1: I'd be okay if somebody wants.
Speaker 3: To, you know, put oh you would just make money
Speaker 3: off your name. Yeah, but then what if the whole
Speaker 3: thing goes down the shitter your name is on it.
Speaker 1: Well, I'd have to have my lawyer look over there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he'll Billy Mike. Right, So from din Witty Virginia. About that,
Speaker 1: he says, Ben and Danny g a shout out to
Speaker 1: John from Pendleton, South Carolina, because that's my hometown. Pendleton
Speaker 1: was a great little place to grow up. He says,
Speaker 1: he can spit from there and hit Clemson, so it's
Speaker 1: a great place to be during football season. Two. Just
Speaker 1: cool hearing from someone in my old snopping grounds. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he'll Billy Mike. You know who the heck knows who's listening.
Speaker 1: People listening all over the place anyway, he says, sometimes
Speaker 1: your interactions with certain callers will have me rolling. One
Speaker 1: of my favorites back in the day was Radio Rich
Speaker 1: because of you cutting his stories off in the middle
Speaker 1: right after asking him something. I knew it was coming,
Speaker 1: and it would still kill me. I really missed those calls.
Speaker 1: What got you started with? Cutting him off all the
Speaker 1: time and knowing that he was never ever going to
Speaker 1: be able to finish a story? Why do you think
Speaker 1: he kept calling back? Has me laughing just thinking about it,
Speaker 1: Billy Mike. Yeah, those are some great stories with Radio Rich.
Speaker 1: I actually missed Radio Rich from Wheeling, West Virginia.
Speaker 3: I do too.
Speaker 1: He was quite the character. And so a couple thoughts
Speaker 1: on that hill, Billy Mike. First of all, we started
Speaker 1: doing that because Rich would just thrown on and on
Speaker 1: and on and on, and most of the stories were
Speaker 1: filled with non sequiturs. They just didn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: And so it's like, what are we doing here? If
Speaker 1: you're gonna tell a story, you gotta have a beginning,
Speaker 1: of middle, and end. You gotta you know, the typical
Speaker 1: story writing. When you tell the story, it's the same
Speaker 1: way you gotta tell the story. You got to build
Speaker 1: build up tensions, and he did none of that.
Speaker 3: And I remember potting him down slowly on the control board.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, times, Yeah, it was it was very interesting.
Speaker 1: With him, and the reason he kept doing it is
Speaker 1: because he loved calling the show. He's addicted the calling radio.
Speaker 1: That was his thing, he had done his entire life.
Speaker 1: He's like a cowboy John Brad kind of guy. They
Speaker 1: love Dick and Dayton. They love the radio and they've
Speaker 1: always called since they were kids, and that's their thing
Speaker 1: and that's what they do. And so the one story though,
Speaker 1: the funniest thing, and the one time we did let
Speaker 1: him talk, I think you were with me. He told
Speaker 1: the story about a hooker. Yeah, yeah, that was wild man.
Speaker 1: We were like all the every other story stinks. Now
Speaker 1: he's telling stories about, you know, prostitutes and going to
Speaker 1: Poundtown with prostetism, Like, oh my god. Anyway, So thank
Speaker 1: you hill Billy, Mike, Kevin and Kansas right saying he
Speaker 1: is next on the mail bag, says dear Ben and
Speaker 1: Danny G. I once drove with a driver's license that
Speaker 1: was nearly a year outdated. Now I look at the
Speaker 1: date nearly every month just to be sure I never
Speaker 1: do that again. Have either of you ever driven with
Speaker 1: an expired license or tags, or maybe tried to use
Speaker 1: an expired credit card? Is it old a or just
Speaker 1: a forgetful brain, so I trying to remember I have
Speaker 1: not the license tag thing has happened, but that's more
Speaker 1: just out of laziness, where I've actually had the new
Speaker 1: tags and just left them on the counter or in
Speaker 1: the kitchen and forgotten to put them. I've forgotten to
Speaker 1: put them on the car. And then you're like, wait
Speaker 1: a minute, it's July and I need to put these
Speaker 1: on the car, and I, you know, I haven't done it.
Speaker 1: And so then you're worried about getting pulled over. The
Speaker 1: driver's license thing that usually I'm on the email thing.
Speaker 1: So they they really love their money, Danny. They love
Speaker 1: that registration money for the driver's license, so they make
Speaker 1: sure to they make sure to send you messages so
Speaker 1: you get your driver's license. What about you, Any of
Speaker 1: those things happened to you?
Speaker 3: No, And you and I we have to take flights
Speaker 3: from time to time for work, so our driver's licenses
Speaker 3: can't be expired or we'd be screwed. Food. As far
Speaker 3: as the car thing, yeah, I remember I had an
Speaker 3: Audie back in the day, and for whatever reason, I
Speaker 3: think it was because of how pricey it was, I
Speaker 3: had to wait to get the stickers to pay for them.
Speaker 3: The day that I finally paid for them, Ben, I
Speaker 3: took a screenshot of the you know, my computer screen
Speaker 3: showing that I paid for it. Yeah, And thank god
Speaker 3: I did that, because that same day I got pulled
Speaker 3: over and I whipped my phone out and showed them
Speaker 3: the picture of my computer screen showing that I paid
Speaker 3: for it that day. And he said, whoo, you were
Speaker 3: cutting it close and I said, yep, and you're not
Speaker 3: giving me a ticket, mother sucker.
Speaker 1: I you know now that this kind of kind of
Speaker 1: messed with my head. I remember I was driving in Hollywood.
Speaker 3: What's this?
Speaker 1: What's the movie TV studio right near where Katla is
Speaker 1: off of I think off of Sunset.
Speaker 3: Oh is that the WB I forget?
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe I was driving on one of the side
Speaker 1: streets where the audience would hang out to go into
Speaker 1: those cheesy daytime court TV shows that they film over there,
Speaker 1: and I got I got pulled over and it was
Speaker 1: a fixed ticket, but it involved I think I think
Speaker 1: that might have I might have actually did get dinged
Speaker 1: for the license plate thing. I got a a citation
Speaker 1: that I didn't have the right sticker on the on
Speaker 1: the car, and I think I think that was. Boy,
Speaker 1: that must have been back in the nineties.
Speaker 3: You ever parked your car at an airport and when
Speaker 3: you got back, you you go to your car and
Speaker 3: there's a ticket on your window. That happened to me.
Speaker 3: It's happened to some friends too, because they actually go
Speaker 3: around and look at every inspect every car to try
Speaker 3: to get some more money. And the ticket was for
Speaker 3: not having a front license plate. Oh you know you
Speaker 3: know what, mother.
Speaker 1: Oh, I think that's actually what the ticket was for.
Speaker 1: I did not have a license plate, and I think that.
Speaker 3: Oh, they love to give that ticket in California.
Speaker 1: I don't even know where that went the front license
Speaker 1: plate at the time. Yeah, that must have been it.
Speaker 3: There's certain cars that don't even have the screws in
Speaker 3: the front.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The funniest have you seen this? Like where we
Speaker 1: do the show from there's like these super uber rich
Speaker 1: people in bel Air and whatnot. They drive down the
Speaker 1: hill and they've got these exotic European cars, you know
Speaker 1: that European license plate which is like long elongated and thin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they have to put the It looks horrible because
Speaker 1: they've got like a four hundred thousand, five hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars car and they have this beautiful European plate and
Speaker 1: then they have to slap over at the California plate
Speaker 1: on top of it. It looks so bad, right, it's
Speaker 1: so man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like putting an ugly bumper sticker on a Ferrari.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, exactly. All right, Well, thank you for that, Kevin,
Speaker 1: and I hope your retirement is going well from from
Speaker 1: teaching and you're enjoying your free time. Iowa, this one's
Speaker 1: from Big Lou, he says, i Big Lou, he's on
Speaker 1: number two, he says, Iowa, Sam is gun shy on
Speaker 1: playing the racist drop. Can you please play it once
Speaker 1: or five times in a row? Right now? That is
Speaker 1: from Big Lou, he says, a request from the multiple
Speaker 1: time Fat sALS benefactor. And Big Lou has actually gone
Speaker 1: and watched Eddie Garcia play hockey. Yeah he has. He
Speaker 1: has done that, all right.
Speaker 3: And he stood out because it was a black guy
Speaker 3: in a hockey game out there.
Speaker 1: You racist out there?
Speaker 3: You well, he said, Fat sALS, that's racist.
Speaker 1: Racist. Well, Big Lou stands out because he is a
Speaker 1: very tall human being.
Speaker 3: Big Lou, why you have to point out that he's
Speaker 3: really tall racist.
Speaker 1: I know, I know everything, everything outrageous and racist.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm doing. I'm trying to get up
Speaker 3: to five of the drops for him here.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know, all right, Well, Big
Speaker 1: lou we love you. And last time I saw Big
Speaker 1: Louis came by the studio when we had Jay Scoop
Speaker 1: from He was he was visiting us before he went
Speaker 1: to the Ukraine. And he's there, right. He actually got
Speaker 1: injured in the in the Ukraine. I I don't know
Speaker 1: if I don't think I told that story this week,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if I think he doesn't mind
Speaker 1: he sent sent it to me. I don't think he
Speaker 1: told me not to tell the story. But Jay Scoop
Speaker 1: is in the Ukraine helping out the military effort there.
Speaker 1: He's giving he's working kind of as a medic. Even
Speaker 1: I don't he's not doing medicine. He's like he's helping
Speaker 1: out the medics on the front line. Can you imagine
Speaker 1: some of the stuff that he's seen, you know, with
Speaker 1: Russia in the Ukraine and all that. But he did
Speaker 1: send me a message. I'll there was a couple of
Speaker 1: videos here he was explaining he was injured. He sent
Speaker 1: he's gonna be okay. But he shared a couple of
Speaker 1: a couple of videos from the Ukraine. But anyway, you
Speaker 1: probably know that Big Lou because you were you were
Speaker 1: corresponding with him like I'm occasionally corresponding with our fine
Speaker 1: talented Jayscoop. And he says, oh, he sent some food
Speaker 1: porn from the Ukraine. And he also says, let's see
Speaker 1: here a floor beneath him, collapsed guy holding a safety line.
Speaker 1: Another guy higher up refused to let go of the rope.
Speaker 1: The worst was whacking my wrist on a cinder block
Speaker 1: at the end of the fall. Luckily, X rays were negative,
Speaker 1: and apparently he's getting some good massages, says x rays
Speaker 1: in the Ukraine and the doctor visit combined US dollars
Speaker 1: fifty seven dollars US dollars. He said, for all that.
Speaker 3: Whoa, I'm going over there for my facelift.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he sent me the food. I gotta tell you,
Speaker 1: though the food doesn't look good to me. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna I'm not gonna lie a Greek salad, not a
Speaker 1: fan racist. The potatoes I would eat, you know, chicken
Speaker 1: keba okay, I could eat the kebab in the onion. Okay,
Speaker 1: so it's in retrospect, Daddy. On hindsight, it's not too
Speaker 1: bad initial photo of the see I'm looking at the
Speaker 1: Greek salad here. That doesn't look good to me.
Speaker 3: Your initial response sounded kind of racist.
Speaker 1: Racist anyway, Thank you, Big Lou. You're on number two.
Speaker 1: Fred from Spring Texas. Right sin He says, what did
Speaker 1: you say here? He says, have either of you received
Speaker 1: a piece of advice or guidance from a parent, relative,
Speaker 1: or friend or co worker that you have found especially
Speaker 1: helpful in life? It says, thanks for the great show.
Speaker 1: It's one of the highlights of my weekend. Well, thank you, Fred,
Speaker 1: and you have been a loyal email content contribute. You
Speaker 1: can tell your friends Fred, you are a content creator
Speaker 1: because you're helping fill the content machine here on the
Speaker 1: mail Bag podcast. So great advice I've gotten, well the
Speaker 1: obvious basic stuff. Treat people how you would like to
Speaker 1: be treated. Right, That's the big one that you learn
Speaker 1: when you're younger from I think most parents teach you
Speaker 1: that I got some great wisdom from my mom and
Speaker 1: dad and little things. I mean that aren't we a
Speaker 1: product of how we were raised?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: Or your uncles and aunts, grandparents, whoever, whoever raised you.
Speaker 1: You learn a lot of that stuff. I feel like
Speaker 1: you learned by osmosis, not necessarily a come to Jesus
Speaker 1: conversation where they teach everything. You just kind of learned
Speaker 1: by a small statements and things that you pick up
Speaker 1: along the way. And you kind of end up end
Speaker 1: up turning into your parents most of the time, don't you.
Speaker 1: Danny's That usually how it goes, even though you're I'm
Speaker 1: never going to be like my parents, and you kind
Speaker 1: of end up turning into them.
Speaker 3: So sometimes hopefully the more positive things that were going
Speaker 3: on with your parents, because you don't want to copy
Speaker 3: any of their negative traits.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'll, I got better versions, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go, better version of your parents hopefully.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think back to the vice president of KCAQ
Speaker 3: and I was in my early twenties, and he told
Speaker 3: me do not get any of the radio groupies pregnant,
Speaker 3: and that was good advice. See he was kind of kidding,
Speaker 3: but it also made me like think, oh crap, Like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I can't have kids right now, and so I'm happy
Speaker 3: I waited until my forties to have a kid. When
Speaker 3: it comes to career stuff, the great LeVar Arrington told
Speaker 3: me after it didn't work out in Morning Drive for
Speaker 3: me with Jonas and and Brady Quinn. I was on
Speaker 3: the outside looking in for a moment, and I thought
Speaker 3: I wasn't gonna work at the network any longer. And
Speaker 3: I told our bosses the word no, which they don't
Speaker 3: hear very often now. When they told me, hey, this
Speaker 3: is going to be your new schedule. You're gonna be
Speaker 3: the floating producer and you're gonna like work six days
Speaker 3: on and one day off and this, it was like
Speaker 3: this weird schedule. I didn't want to do it. And
Speaker 3: I was just coming off of out kick the coverage
Speaker 3: with Clay Travis. Not that I thought I was a badass,
Speaker 3: but I didn't think I should be relegated to the trenches.
Speaker 3: So I said, look, I don't know what you might
Speaker 3: have for me down the road, but I don't want
Speaker 3: to go backwards. Oh no, no, no, you wouldn't be
Speaker 3: going backwards, but you do have to do three or
Speaker 3: four editing shifts. I was like, that is going backwards.
Speaker 3: I'm like, no, I'm I'm sorry, respectfully, I'm going to
Speaker 3: decline your offer. Oh my gosh, good three four weeks
Speaker 3: where I was just sitting there thought I wasn't going
Speaker 3: to work at the network anymore. And during that time,
Speaker 3: which was really hard, LeVar reached out to me and
Speaker 3: he texted me and he said, hey, dude, I really
Speaker 3: appreciate all the hard work you did on the morning
Speaker 3: show for me. He's like, make sure you come back,
Speaker 3: but when you come back, come back even stronger. I
Speaker 3: was down and I was feeling depressed. When I read that,
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, you know what, I'm going to
Speaker 3: just focus on what I can do to get back
Speaker 3: even better. And one of the things that helped me
Speaker 3: do that is I came on the podcast with you,
Speaker 3: and I started doing weekend shows and worked my way
Speaker 3: back in on Sundays with Covino and Rich and then
Speaker 3: that show blew up Poom goes to Dynamite. Exactly what
Speaker 3: LeVar told me to do is what I did, and
Speaker 3: so I always look back at that advice from him
Speaker 3: and I'm really grateful for that.
Speaker 1: Well, that's great. I not heard that before. And also,
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I mean, we kind of have
Speaker 1: this in common. Although I actually was laid off, I
Speaker 1: was whacked by the company. You were not, but I
Speaker 1: got let go in O nine. I had been at
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio for nine years and January twentieth, vote nine,
Speaker 1: I got the walking papers in a mass execution of employees.
Speaker 1: And I was out of work for six months in
Speaker 1: twenty six days, and I was filling in at WI
Speaker 1: and I got an audition at the Angel station in
Speaker 1: Anaheim at am a thirty, and I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm going to ever find regular work again.
Speaker 1: And I've actually had more success in this part of
Speaker 1: my career than I did before that, so it does
Speaker 1: occasionally work out. We got time for one more. Let's
Speaker 1: go to Neil from the real Greenville in the Carolinas
Speaker 1: is a home of minor league South Atlantic League champions.
Speaker 1: Hopefully you got the big head hats I sent you
Speaker 1: two weeks ago. You know we have not gotten those hats.
Speaker 1: Have you gotten the hat stand? I have not gotten
Speaker 1: that hats.
Speaker 3: No, but I did see a couple of boxes in
Speaker 3: that mail area by the white table and oh, okay, sure, yeah,
Speaker 3: where Ty Shirt keeps all of his all of his
Speaker 3: shake stuff.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll have to check.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: We had we used the Pony Express for the mail,
Speaker 1: and they went out of business about one hundred years ago,
Speaker 1: so it's a little tough. But anyway, says the word
Speaker 1: of the week is an awesome segment, short and sweet.
Speaker 1: I dig it, by the way, curious to hear about
Speaker 1: the underwater house Looney got you to buy. Have you
Speaker 1: sold it and recovered in the crazy inflationary period? He says,
Speaker 1: And now for the real question. And now that both
Speaker 1: of you got activities that keep you beyond busy, what
Speaker 1: is the mal or michigas you two miss that you
Speaker 1: wish you had more time for. And check out this place.
Speaker 1: I came across there during my travel, so that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: There's a photo here. Well, I own I still happen
Speaker 1: to own the Mallord the original Malar monologue, which is underwater.
Speaker 1: It is not as far underwater as it is. I
Speaker 1: have not sold it. I am breaking even on it now,
Speaker 1: which is good I have. We're a landlord. The Malord
Speaker 1: family is a landlord. We have some people staying there
Speaker 1: in the hood in Lincoln Heights, beautiful neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: Just picturesque, no crime at all. O Graffeiti, just one
Speaker 1: to get smack. Yeah, exactly. The avenue gangs over there.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so we still own it, haven't gotten rid
Speaker 1: of it yet, kind of keeping it around at some point,
Speaker 1: you know that you can, if you can kind of
Speaker 1: tread water long enough, then all of a sudden, the
Speaker 1: tables turn. Obviously, it's just basic real estate. As far
Speaker 1: as what I miss, you know, I don't know that
Speaker 1: I miss anything. I just don't have as much downtime,
Speaker 1: which is probably not good health wise. My wife says,
Speaker 1: I need. I'm terrible at not doing anything. I always
Speaker 1: have to work or do something. But you know, a
Speaker 1: lot of people just love time off. I don't have
Speaker 1: a lot of that. But I don't think I'm really
Speaker 1: missing anything. I cook on the weekends, we go to
Speaker 1: the beach a lot, we see family on the weekend,
Speaker 1: so we're always up to something. But what about you,
Speaker 1: What about you, Danny? Anything you're missing because you've got
Speaker 1: crazy hours? Like me?
Speaker 3: In my garage, I try to put that little podcast
Speaker 3: studio together, and it's really hard because it's still half completed.
Speaker 3: There's a little project I was doing with my car
Speaker 3: that's half done. I still have intinted the windows. I
Speaker 3: have a list of things I want to get done
Speaker 3: that stuff. I have to push off because obviously your
Speaker 3: job and your family comes first, for.
Speaker 1: Sure, for sure. Neil also says, I forgot to mention.
Speaker 1: Down in the Super South part of Miami, we cook
Speaker 1: gator and pig hole. Oh my god. He sends a
Speaker 1: photo here. He says the gator tastes very, very chewy
Speaker 1: and not good. He says, like you were eating something
Speaker 1: that you are not supposed to eat. Stop trying, he says. Kangaroo,
Speaker 1: on the other hand, he says, in the outback of Australia,
Speaker 1: on the barbie, as they say, taste great, like the
Speaker 1: best lamp you've ever had. I think he met lamb,
Speaker 1: but he put lamp. Maybe he met lamp, I don't know.
Speaker 1: And Ozzie was in Western Australia. Actually, it's funny. He
Speaker 1: sent a photo of a kangaroo. He says. Kangaroos are
Speaker 1: just deer that went to prison and pretty funny. All right,
Speaker 1: we'll get out on that. You got things to do, Danny,
Speaker 1: I got things to do. It's NFL Sunday, Remember Benny
Speaker 1: versus the Penny Here. Check your local TV listings early
Speaker 1: in the day. It stops airing after one pm Eastern
Speaker 1: when the NFL game starts. I know there's an early
Speaker 1: game today in London and all that, but I think
Speaker 1: the wait till after the early game. Anything you want
Speaker 1: to promote here, Danny.
Speaker 3: Let's see be back with Coveno and Rich tomorrow afternoon
Speaker 3: from two to four on the West Coast and five
Speaker 3: to seven pm in New York City. And I just
Speaker 3: want to say, go Raiders, please get your shit together.
Speaker 3: I don't want to hear any more. Ben Mallard Davante
Speaker 3: Adams monologues.
Speaker 1: Oh, Davante. I did a monologue on Benny versus the
Speaker 1: Penny this week. Guy said Davante Adams wants to be traded,
Speaker 1: And no he doesn't.
Speaker 3: He he's gonna stay there. He's got the money, he's
Speaker 3: got the cachet, he's got a nice city. They just
Speaker 3: got a gel and come together. They actually have some
Speaker 3: decent players, and they have some shit players too mixed
Speaker 3: in to their roster. But it'll shake out.
Speaker 1: And they're in La today. By the way, they're an ingle.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll be the real home opener for the Raiders
Speaker 3: because that's going to be mostly silver and black inside.
Speaker 1: So far, how crazy it is going to be Danny
Speaker 1: for the Raider players. They play at home, it's not
Speaker 1: a home game. There's more fans of the other team, right,
Speaker 1: it's like LA. But yeah, just play in LA. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be like it should be in Vegas because there's
Speaker 1: so many more Raider fans here in LA. It's wild.
Speaker 3: It is crazy when you think about it like that,
Speaker 3: and it just goes to show you the Raiders brand new,
Speaker 3: state of the art stadium should have been in LA.
Speaker 3: But that's a whole nother episode of the podcast.
Speaker 1: And I'll be on the radio tonight breaking down all
Speaker 1: the NFL games and hopefully not losing my ass to
Speaker 1: the penny again. Be safe, live long, and prosper and
Speaker 1: we'll catch you next time.
Speaker 3: Thank you later, skater Hi.
Speaker 1: I like the Saints, gotta murder.
Speaker 3: I gotta go
