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 3: small Mexican army at the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So it was when the An upset. People love
Speaker 1: upsets in war. In sports, people love upsets. They love
Speaker 1: David versus Go wins.

Speaker 1: They didn't. They didn't actually didn't actually do that. And
Speaker 1: it's great because the French military they have a wonderful
Speaker 1: reputation right the the act of a French soldier surrendering,
Speaker 1: it's just acquiescing however you want to say it. There
Speaker 1: so happy Sinco de Mile.
Speaker 3: Yeah. On Friday's Coveno and Rich Show, Me and Coveno
Speaker 3: Rich was away in New York, Covino and I we
Speaker 3: pulled a Petros and money and we were doing shots
Speaker 3: of tequila in the air.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's like Scott Farrell, man, Rack them up, Rack
Speaker 1: them Still the craziest podcast we've done. On the fifth hour.
Speaker 3: Oh, he was snorting cocaine with stacks of cash on
Speaker 3: a hotel bed while naked on the phone with you.
Speaker 3: That's the craziest interview I've ever booked in my whole career.
Speaker 3: And I booked in India in India's most famous tiger hunter.
Speaker 3: And the list goes on. But Farrell doing cocaine on
Speaker 3: a stack of money on a bed talking to Ben
Speaker 3: Mallard takes the cake.
Speaker 1: I'm still impressed that you were able to get a
Speaker 1: sitting president on the radio. That is an outstanding, absolutely outstanding.
Speaker 1: It's also naty.
Speaker 3: Are you more impressed that it was I got him?
Speaker 3: Or the beekeeper from Arizona the other day?
Speaker 1: Oh? The beekeepers that's cool too, that's cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was a he was a cool guy too.
Speaker 3: He seemed very down to earth and a nice guy,
Speaker 3: even though he's a d Bags fan.
Speaker 1: I didn't see that. I didn't hear the story. What
Speaker 1: was the story like?
Speaker 3: Did they?
Speaker 1: Was he at home when they call?
Speaker 3: So he was at his son's t ball game with
Speaker 3: his family, and the stadium folks there at Chase called him.
Speaker 3: They have his pet control pest control company on speed dial,
Speaker 3: and they're like, dude, we need you over here now.
Speaker 3: And so he sped over to the stadium and he
Speaker 3: had to use a scissor lift he wasn't familiar with
Speaker 3: to get up to the swarm of bees, and he was.
Speaker 3: He said, he was shaken up there. He was really
Speaker 3: nervous because of all the things that could go wrong.
Speaker 3: He was scared the bees were going to swarm out
Speaker 3: and sting people in the stands. So he comes down
Speaker 3: from the scissor lift, he gets a standing ovation and
Speaker 3: then the Diamondbacks asked him, would you throw out the
Speaker 3: ceremonial first pitch, And that's what he did, and he
Speaker 3: threw a decent pitch, better than some celebrities have thrown.
Speaker 3: And they called him the hero, the hero of the
Speaker 3: week in Major League baseball.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he hays own card baseball Yeah.
Speaker 3: Tops, Yeah, Tops called him on Wednesday morning and said, hey,
Speaker 3: we're gonna offer you your own baseball card. And he's like,
Speaker 3: let's do it. So that that was cool. And also
Speaker 3: he mentioned on the Covino and Rich Show that the
Speaker 3: Diamondbacks have reached back out to him and they're gonna
Speaker 3: roll out the red carpet, roll out the red carpet
Speaker 3: for his family and they get to like get the
Speaker 3: whole you know, royal treatment.
Speaker 1: Oh great. Yeah, Well, when you never know what opportunity
Speaker 1: is gonna knock, you better answer the door. You better
Speaker 1: answer the door. I'm sure his kid's not too upset
Speaker 1: that he had to leave the t ball game because
Speaker 1: now he'll get the VIP toward the Diamondback game. Help set.
Speaker 1: Were the Diamondbacks this week? It was like Dodgers Stadium
Speaker 1: in Arizona. Did you see that?
Speaker 3: Yeah? And it's funny because the whole story with the
Speaker 3: Knicks and the Sixers and the Sixers front office buying
Speaker 3: thousands of seats because they didn't want to be infiltrated
Speaker 3: by Knicks fans.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's wild. I mean, I I traveled briefly
Speaker 1: years ago with the Dodgers, but it was never like that,
Speaker 1: like there would be Dodger fans everywhere the team went.
Speaker 1: There'd be a few. I was telling the story about
Speaker 1: in New York when there'd be these old dudes, these
Speaker 1: really old frail men that were Brooklyn Dodger fans when
Speaker 1: they were kids, and they had their Brooklyn Dodger stuff
Speaker 1: and they'd stand outside the hotel. And I always thought
Speaker 1: that was cool. But there'd be some, But it's nothing
Speaker 1: like it is these days. It's like there's a whole
Speaker 1: I forget the name of that group. There's a fan
Speaker 1: group that's like a super fan group and they travel around.
Speaker 1: They have plan trips on Dodger road, trips to overtake stadiums,
Speaker 1: and yeah, it was. It was Nutso in Arizona we
Speaker 1: have the mail bag. I want to do a little
Speaker 1: pop goes the culture before we get to the mailback
Speaker 1: is that, okay, can we do a little pop goest?
Speaker 3: Do it? Pop? Pop? Pop?
Speaker 1: Pop pop pop pop?
Speaker 3: John John.
Speaker 1: All right, very good, and Ohio ill coming through yet again,
Speaker 1: and here we go. Let's here trust the science. Remember
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, Dan, it was trust the science. Well,
Speaker 1: scientists have not discovered why a cold beer tastes so good.
Speaker 3: Oh tell me more.
Speaker 1: This is the content that we need, clearly, according to
Speaker 1: new scientists, team of researchers at the Chinese Academy of
Speaker 1: Sciences decided to do a deep dive and they looked
Speaker 1: into this. They decided to take a closer look at
Speaker 1: the chemistry of beer.
Speaker 3: That's where I want my tax paying dollars ago.
Speaker 1: It's not all bad there in China. We get cheap
Speaker 1: stuff and they study beer. The results of their experiment
Speaker 1: were recently published in Matter and revolve around the ethanol
Speaker 1: water molecular clusters. These scientists were able to observe with
Speaker 1: the help of the nuclear magnetic resonance imaging. It's a lot.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of big words.
Speaker 3: No idea, what you just said.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Essentially they looked into it and they.
Speaker 3: Said, feel like you just asked me about the Chiefs draft.
Speaker 1: Yeah, something like that. That everything changed the temperature at
Speaker 1: approximately forty one degrees fahrenheit. They arranged a pyramid shape
Speaker 1: structure that gave the beverage a more stimulating taste, like
Speaker 1: more stimulating talk radio. By the time it increased to
Speaker 1: seventy seven fahrenheit. They form longer chains that allow the
Speaker 1: ethanol to take center stage and produce a relatively unpleasant
Speaker 1: and a boozier flavor. So there's a sweet spot for
Speaker 1: the beer at the forty one degrees fahrenheit. And it's
Speaker 1: all about the science. It's all about the science there.
Speaker 1: So thank you to our friends in China. The more
Speaker 1: you know, the more you know. So that's how we uperate.
Speaker 1: What else do we have on pop goes the culture? Well,
Speaker 1: this is something that will affect all of us that
Speaker 1: fly Southwest Airlines. There was a story this week that
Speaker 1: Southwest Airlines it's considering getting rid of the most unique
Speaker 1: thing about Southwest Airlines.
Speaker 3: Oh I saw this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the open seating. They're they're saying they need to
Speaker 1: make more money and so they have to have a
Speaker 1: first class, a business class and all that and.
Speaker 3: Such a bs and supposedly the two free bags, the
Speaker 3: two free checked bags might be going away.
Speaker 1: Oh really man, Yeah, the.
Speaker 3: President of their company didn't say anything about it, but
Speaker 3: just because he left it out, the article said that
Speaker 3: that's reason enough to worry about that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you start playing around with that, and you know,
Speaker 1: good luck.
Speaker 3: You'll have to way more money. Do not mess with
Speaker 3: what makes you special. Yeah.
Speaker 1: McDonald's adds new items, but they don't get rid of
Speaker 1: They don't mess with the Big Mac.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, that sauce, the Big Max sauce will always
Speaker 3: be there. Exhibit A. I don't mess with what's winning
Speaker 3: the soup.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well, d that's with the one that brought you,
Speaker 1: isn't that.
Speaker 3: We're just going through cliche And if you don't know
Speaker 3: the soup that's what replaced Ben Mallor for how many days?
Speaker 1: Well, I was six months and twenty six days, not
Speaker 1: that I counted. I did not count it, just six
Speaker 1: months and twenty six days. Well, inflation is out of control.
Speaker 1: There's a viral story. I don't know if this came
Speaker 1: up on Covino and Rich. I didn't talk about it
Speaker 1: on my show. Went viral. At a grocery store here
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, they were selling an eight pack of
Speaker 1: ice spears for thirty two dollars. An eight pack of
Speaker 1: ice spears.
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 1: Yeah, isn't that that wonderful? This pricey market. I've never
Speaker 1: even heard of it.
Speaker 3: E R E W H O N.
Speaker 1: What is that? Have you been there? I'm Beverly don't know,
Speaker 1: Beverly Boulevard, I've never heard of. Apparently it's a rich people,
Speaker 1: rich person's place, and so somebody was in there and
Speaker 1: they looked at the price. They're like, whoa, this is crazy.
Speaker 1: Now you can get a twenty dollars for a gallon
Speaker 1: of raw milk, twenty six dollars on a bottle of
Speaker 1: hyperoxygenated water, which we used to call water back in
Speaker 1: the day. But somebody on the internet, on the TikTok,
Speaker 1: they ended up putting some of these items on there,
Speaker 1: and the one that got the most attention was the
Speaker 1: ice the ice spheres, which is thirty Again, this is
Speaker 1: crazy to me, thirty two dollars for an eight pack.
Speaker 1: It's like a round ice balls.
Speaker 3: Pretty pretty good, don't man. Don't make me start about
Speaker 3: how I filled my gas tank a few days back
Speaker 3: at the quote unquote cheap gas station that I know
Speaker 3: of in the LA area ninety eight dollars. And my
Speaker 3: tank in my car is just the average sized gas
Speaker 3: tank ninety eight dollars.
Speaker 1: Was it a Costco or was it somewhere?
Speaker 3: No, it was just like one of you know how
Speaker 3: there's always that one gas station that's like a generic
Speaker 3: color and it's like speedy gas or whatever. It's the
Speaker 3: it's the one in your neighborhood everyone lines up at
Speaker 3: because it's like twenty cents cheaper than all the name brands.
Speaker 1: Yeah sure, no, no, I guess, but even.
Speaker 3: That one, even that one ninety eight dollars at the
Speaker 3: cheap gas station at Costco.
Speaker 1: I think I filled up the other day and it
Speaker 1: was like seventy five bucks. So I'm doing better than you,
Speaker 1: I guess from the gas. Yeah, the gas department, KFC.
Speaker 1: Big news here, but they've launched a barbecue scented perfume. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: it's sold out immediately, so imagine how many guys are
Speaker 1: going to be so turned on. They're gonta get all
Speaker 1: horny because their women have barbecue SCENTIFICI.
Speaker 3: They know what you're giving me in the staff for Christmas.
Speaker 1: I hope you enjoy that. Knock yourself out, have a
Speaker 1: fine time. This sounds like somebody that might have listened
Speaker 1: to our show at some point. A Yellow Own tourist
Speaker 1: has been arrested after being injured by a bison that
Speaker 1: he originally kicked.
Speaker 3: The guy was drunk. He kicked a bison sounds like
Speaker 3: a weed man hippie move. How many?
Speaker 1: How many things of boze do you have to have
Speaker 1: where you think that's a good idea?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Airbnb revealed a uphouse where you can stay suspended in
Speaker 1: the sky from a huge crane. Revealed that this week,
Speaker 1: and there's a bunch of other movie inspired homes that
Speaker 1: you can get on Airbnb.
Speaker 3: So if you want to, oh cool, I want to
Speaker 3: go into the Friday the Thirteenth House.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you might not have to pay for it because
Speaker 1: you'll be dead. What else do we have here? You
Speaker 1: see page down. Some of these are on the fringes
Speaker 1: David Busters. This got a lot of attention this week.
Speaker 1: I don't think it came up on our show. David
Speaker 1: Busters will now let you wager on arcade.
Speaker 3: Games at ball say what now?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, they've decided that you need to gamble. They've
Speaker 1: got two hundred and twenty locations, more than two hundred
Speaker 1: twenty locations in the United States. This is like the
Speaker 1: adult version of Chuck E Cheese if you will. But
Speaker 1: big story this week, David Busters trying to embrace social wagering.
Speaker 1: There's a new feature on its app that will allow
Speaker 1: players to place bets concerning the outcome of various arcade
Speaker 1: games that pit customer versus customer. The new features a
Speaker 1: partnership with some company that they claim is a real
Speaker 1: money it's real money contest of challenges, but it's just
Speaker 1: gambling head to head wagering option. It's going to be
Speaker 1: rolling out on the next couple of months at Dave
Speaker 1: and Busters so on, like ski ball, pop a shot
Speaker 1: where you compete against someone.
Speaker 3: Okay, I was going to say, who are you wagering against?
Speaker 1: Hair hockey? All right, So do you don't need an
Speaker 1: app for that? Couldn't you just do that on your own?
Speaker 3: You don't really need well, like, for instance, my chick
Speaker 3: always tells me when we walk into that. We've only
Speaker 3: gone a few times, but the last time we walked
Speaker 3: in there, for example, she said, I'm gonna kick your
Speaker 3: ass in air hockey, and I'm like, yeah, right, And
Speaker 3: sure enough, she'll even score on herself by knocking the
Speaker 3: puck into her own goal. So potentially we could walk
Speaker 3: in and wager on who's gonna win the game?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you on their app. They say they're going to
Speaker 1: have that in the next couple moments. I mean, you
Speaker 1: can do it anyway. You don't need the app, but
Speaker 1: they want you to use the app.
Speaker 3: Took her virginity, Now I'm gonna take her money.
Speaker 1: Hey, well, the last bastion of non wokeness is now
Speaker 1: going woke the video game world. Nintendo, there's a game.
Speaker 1: This is the Japanese video game Mega Company There. They're
Speaker 1: going to release a remake of a very popular twenty
Speaker 1: Ozho four game, Paper Mario. But they're going to change
Speaker 1: some of the verbiage in Paper Mario. They are removing
Speaker 1: cat calling and fat shaming from the game. Apparently the game.
Speaker 3: I didn't know any of that was in the game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty years ago was too sexist and fat phobic,
Speaker 1: and so Nintendo's like, we can't do to say.
Speaker 3: A break if none of us even remember that being
Speaker 3: in the game, how was it offensive?
Speaker 1: Well, they're changing a few small politically correct changes throughout
Speaker 1: the game The Villain.
Speaker 3: They're also going to go back and change old movies.
Speaker 1: Too, Yeah, they they Well, I can't make any movies
Speaker 1: the way they used to make.
Speaker 3: Why I stopped there. Let's re record all the old
Speaker 3: classic songs while we're at it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh you hear some of the old lyrics.
Speaker 3: It's like, whoa, whoa, she want to do the wow.
Speaker 3: I remember peing in my mom when there was a
Speaker 3: little kid with that song game on the radio. I
Speaker 3: was so embarrassed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, here's an example. Bowser teases one of the
Speaker 1: Cooper underwings about being overweight. So that's fat shaming. They
Speaker 1: have to, Bowser said in the game. In that case,
Speaker 1: I order you to do some sit ups, Tubby. They've
Speaker 1: taken taken that out of the game.
Speaker 3: I don't remember that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty four games.
Speaker 3: We were so less offended back in the.
Speaker 1: Day, yeah, he says. And then there was another line
Speaker 1: in that case, I order you to do some sit
Speaker 1: ups and don't stop until even your hammer has abs
Speaker 1: it says. So there's a bunch of other stuff that
Speaker 1: they tweaked in the game.
Speaker 3: But there you go.
Speaker 1: They're changing video games. Let's get to the mail bag
Speaker 1: portion of the pod, the mail bag portional. Are you
Speaker 1: ready for the mail bag? Let's go mail bag.
Speaker 3: It's this.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, ohio Al, our buddy, ohio Al.
Speaker 1: These are actual questions from actual listeners to the show.
Speaker 1: Alf from the costco gas station rights in he says,
Speaker 1: after a minute's long cost benefit analysis and some quick
Speaker 1: back of the Napkin Malard math that I learned from
Speaker 1: the Overnight Radio. I have determined that my alien opiner
Speaker 1: budget does not afford interstate travel to the lavish Malar
Speaker 1: meet and greet locations. I've deducted that it would take
Speaker 1: two full tanks of gas in the alphamobile twenty four
Speaker 1: gallons per tank times three dollars and twenty seven cents
Speaker 1: current price at Costco. That's one hundred and fifty seven
Speaker 1: dollars and thirty nine cents plus tolls, food, and lost
Speaker 1: wages for two days. Some may think that is o piners.
Speaker 1: The o Pinos are rolling in the dough with the
Speaker 1: large contributor checks from Fox Sports Radio. But I assure
Speaker 1: you Alf writes this is not the case. So it
Speaker 1: is with a head heart that I must regretfully decline
Speaker 1: your request for my presence at the aforementioned Mallor meet
Speaker 1: and greet. Jesus, how long is this question that's still going?
Speaker 1: As far as my question here we go? Do you
Speaker 1: think that there is a more appropriate location in Springfield
Speaker 1: for the twenty thirty nine Malor Meet and Greet than
Speaker 1: the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame? I would think that
Speaker 1: with all the free publicity that you've given them over
Speaker 1: the years, they'd roll out the red carpet for the
Speaker 1: Malard militia. And before you chastise me for pulling a Blair,
Speaker 1: I am not asking you to hold the event on
Speaker 1: my street in Waterville, Maine. I am actually thirty minutes
Speaker 1: outside of Springfield, he says. Fun fact, he says, see
Speaker 1: below here your first international mallor meat location in three countries.
Speaker 1: And yeah, this is this is actually pretty cool. So
Speaker 1: there's a I didn't know about. This is a place
Speaker 1: in right here. It's where three countries in Europe try points, Slovakia, Austria,
Speaker 1: and Hungary. They set up a table and you can
Speaker 1: eat lunch together without crossing the border. So you can
Speaker 1: have on one side of the table Slovakia. There's a
Speaker 1: bench you can sit there, there's a table. The other
Speaker 1: side of the table. It's a triangle. So the other
Speaker 1: one of the other sides there's Austria and then the
Speaker 1: other side is Hungary. That's cool, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 3: Get that.
Speaker 1: That's a fun fact. That's an alf fun fact.
Speaker 3: I just learned a whole bunch about Austria by watching
Speaker 3: that Arnold Schwarzenegger documentary on Netflix.
Speaker 1: I watched some of that. I didn't finish it. It
Speaker 1: was pretty good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like it. I think I have one more episode.
Speaker 1: Left an interesting life, Arnold schwartzene your Quinn writes in
Speaker 1: on the mail bag. He says, I'm here checking in
Speaker 1: and I have a funny story. I was from the
Speaker 1: show back on April twenty second, so we're going back.
Speaker 3: A little bit.
Speaker 1: I hope you enjoyed. Oh he sent me a very
Speaker 1: nice marine hat, and I thank you. I thank you
Speaker 1: for that, Quinn. He's say, this story is crazy.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: So I have been battling the flu with other respiratory
Speaker 1: illnesses for almost two weeks. Quinn says, I am finally
Speaker 1: coming out of it. I listened to the podcast, but lately,
Speaker 1: as I have had a hard time sleeping, I've been
Speaker 1: listening to the live show. And he says the other night,
Speaker 1: I fell asleep listening and I was having a dream
Speaker 1: and within the dream, the Ben Maller Show was on
Speaker 1: and your trivia game, Quinn says. When this guy's dream day.
Speaker 1: He says, I was listening to the callers pick teams
Speaker 1: and then the game started as a big NFL fan.
Speaker 1: One of the trivias were defensive players, and I was
Speaker 1: rattling off the names in the dream from the trivia
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, Michael Strahan, Ronnie Lott, Kevin Green, Jack Youngblood,
Speaker 1: Dwight Freeney, DeMarcus Ware. I realized when I woke up
Speaker 1: that I got more answers right unconsciously in my dream
Speaker 1: than you're awake caller, Well Quinn. Great thing about now,
Speaker 1: maybe not that deep, but it was maybe that was
Speaker 1: Mallard's amount of money, but I'll have to go back
Speaker 1: and look. Yeah, it was probably my malus amount of
Speaker 1: money that we had hollering James on, not mallards amount
Speaker 1: of money, but it was too much or not enough.
Speaker 1: Who won wall snoring? It's the single greatest game show
Speaker 1: maman in the history of the show. He won based
Speaker 1: on his snores and that was just an amazing, amazing.
Speaker 3: Bit of There's been some pretty amazing snoring moments on
Speaker 3: the Ben Mallor Show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we lead talk rating snoring. Nobody else has that.
Speaker 3: There's like five to six different snoring clips in my archives.
Speaker 1: We had back to back to back snores which.
Speaker 3: We have a snoring competition one night. Yeah, that off.
Speaker 1: We went back and forth. It was it was a cowboy,
Speaker 1: and there was a guy in San Diego, the voice,
Speaker 1: big voice guy. Forget his name. Barry writes, and he says,
Speaker 1: Yo Yo, Ma, Benny and Danny g I understand that
Speaker 1: you are on your way to South Carolina. I may

Speaker 1: and Green, that is incorrect. It's a bad job by you.
Speaker 1: We will be at a wonderful English pub in South

Speaker 1: email too. If you're planning on attending, I'd like to
Speaker 1: kind of have a rough idea of how many people
Speaker 1: are going to go. I've gotten a few emails from
Speaker 1: people that say they're planning on a tending. But if
Speaker 1: you think you're gonna make it, you're pretty sure you're
Speaker 1: gonna make it. Just send me an email Ben Malor
Speaker 1: Show at gmail dot com, say hey, I'm thinking I'm
Speaker 1: coming out there. So and so would love to love
Speaker 1: to see you and Michan. This is different. I've never
Speaker 1: done this in the South. I don't know if anyone's
Speaker 1: going to show up. I have no idea. I don't
Speaker 1: know how many people we have listened there. I know
Speaker 1: we had a lot of calls and emails, but who
Speaker 1: knows if they're actually going to show up. So my
Speaker 1: father's mustache, Charleston, South Carolina, James Island location, come out,
Speaker 1: Hopefully I will meet.
Speaker 3: Yeah. My cousin moved to that area like fifteen years ago.
Speaker 3: He loves it. He loves it. Built a big he
Speaker 3: built a well, he bought a house, a fixer upper,
Speaker 3: and he spent the past decade fixing it up.
Speaker 1: That's great. Yeah, my niece really likes it a lot.
Speaker 1: She grew up as a little girl in New York
Speaker 1: and she loves Charleston. She's so excited to show Uncle Benny.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, And he says the people are super nice
Speaker 3: and his job's going good there. Man, it seems like
Speaker 3: a really cool part of the country. I would love
Speaker 3: to go visit that part of the country. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 3: looking forward to it.
Speaker 1: I'll be there most of this week and kind of
Speaker 1: enjoy enjoy the sites and sounds, do a little sight seeing,
Speaker 1: go to the beach a little bit. There's a few museums.
Speaker 1: I love American history. There's some Civil War museums there.
Speaker 1: I think the first battle of the Civil War, Fort Sumter,
Speaker 1: was in South Carolina.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So the only thing I wouldn't like is if
Speaker 3: you had a home on the beach there, the way
Speaker 3: it could get swooped up in a storm.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: They have some gnarly, gnarly storms that come in there
Speaker 1: that knock the whole town out and flood everything. It's
Speaker 1: part of the deal. We get the earthquakes. We had
Speaker 1: one the other day and they got that blind. Scott says,
Speaker 1: are you going to give five hundred dollars to your
Speaker 1: knees for graduating college. You got to give like a thousand.
Speaker 1: I think, wow, thank you blind Scott. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I haven't thought about it. We'll cut a check, we'll
Speaker 1: center some money, the world will zeller some money or whatever,
Speaker 1: or cash app some money, I don't know, whatever. You
Speaker 1: know what better money?
Speaker 3: You know? You should google when you have some extra time.
Speaker 3: There's an episode of King of Queen and they find
Speaker 3: a check that was given to them by a family
Speaker 3: member that they didn't know about. It was hidden inside
Speaker 3: like some stupid crock pot or something, and it was
Speaker 3: a check for like five thousand dollars as a wedding gift,
Speaker 3: but the check was old. They're like, is this check
Speaker 3: even gonna cash? And so they they it's it's a
Speaker 3: really funny episode. But that's what makes me think of
Speaker 3: that is a big gift you might get for like
Speaker 3: a wedding gift or a college graduation. You hope for
Speaker 3: some big checks to be written.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd like to get one of those oversized checks.
Speaker 3: But I'm not like like like happy Gilmore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just give him a big, big giant.
Speaker 3: Remember he put all those in the trunk of his car,
Speaker 3: the big oversized checks.
Speaker 1: Why not you know what the hell next one? Dear
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny G. This is Kyrie and ok see,
Speaker 1: says Danny G. The Lakers suck bums, he says. Anyway,
Speaker 1: the show love and respect.
Speaker 3: Hey, they were in every game. They didn't get blown
Speaker 3: out by thirty in any of those games.
Speaker 1: Come done, they won one game, he says, I love
Speaker 1: and respect like Strip Club John and Cleveland said on
Speaker 1: the radio about his calves and my thunder small markets
Speaker 1: need love to Big Ben. Anyway, y'all guys are awesome.
Speaker 1: Has always much love from Kyrie in OK.
Speaker 3: I do like that player on his team that has
Speaker 3: three names. Oh, the former Clipper. You're a fan of
Speaker 3: a former Clipper. Yeah, I actually I told you because
Speaker 3: you were so nice to the Lakers in one of
Speaker 3: your monologues a couple of weeks back, I've been sharing
Speaker 3: on your Clippers. Little did I know your team was
Speaker 3: going to vomit all over themselves.
Speaker 1: What is still wrong with the Clippers?
Speaker 3: You called them gutless? That's the word to use, gutless?
Speaker 1: Well, here's the pros now.
Speaker 3: I know what it's like to suffer as a Clippers fan.
Speaker 3: Thanks Ben, Well, that was that was called tough love.
Speaker 1: It's emasculating, it's an alarming lack of detail on your performance,
Speaker 1: and you just don't seem to really care. You're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll get them next time. And you know, the lack
Speaker 1: of perseverance, the fire in the belly. That's so many
Speaker 1: And listen, there's guys in the Lakers that have this.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys in the Clippers that have
Speaker 1: these lethargic tendencies. It just drives me, not now you're
Speaker 1: not going to make every shot, but to not play hard.
Speaker 1: And I've seen that.
Speaker 3: I'm with you on the lazy passes, not getting back
Speaker 3: on defense, walking up and down the court.
Speaker 1: So don't got me started on that. But anyway, let's
Speaker 1: say thank you Kyrie. Nick and Wisconsin says, Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: what is the worst injury that you have had and
Speaker 1: how did it happen? I would say the most painful
Speaker 1: injury I had was my gallbladder, and that was eating
Speaker 1: a lot of fried foods for about forty years of
Speaker 1: my life and then my gallbladder decided to check out,
Speaker 1: and that hurt a lot. I've broken some fingers and
Speaker 1: things like that, but other than that, that's the worst.
Speaker 3: What about you, Danny, huh injury. I haven't broken any bones.
Speaker 1: Ben, Okay, you just jinks yourself.
Speaker 3: Hang on a second, hang on.
Speaker 1: Knocking there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, No, I didn't break anything. But I guess
Speaker 3: this is self inflicted. When I was producing one of
Speaker 3: the producers on your show and some night's the only producer,
Speaker 3: I was not drinking any water because during the commercials,
Speaker 3: as you know, the tech producer stays in his seat
Speaker 3: or he's supposed to to make sure that the commercials
Speaker 3: and everything are running smoothly, and you have to count
Speaker 3: them and make sure that promos play the right way
Speaker 3: and all this stuff behind the scenes. Right, So everyone's like, well,
Speaker 3: you could go to the bathroom during commercials. No, you can't,
Speaker 3: not in that job. So I purposely didn't drink water.
Speaker 3: I'm like, well that's the way to go here. I
Speaker 3: won't drink water, and then, you know, simple math, I
Speaker 3: won't have to go to the bathroom. What did I do?
Speaker 3: I wound up giving myself a huge kidney issue. You remember,
Speaker 3: it's how I ended my tenure with your show. I
Speaker 3: was in the hospital. Oh yeah, I do. Yeah, that
Speaker 3: sucked big time. I had to have a laser surgery.
Speaker 3: This thing went on for months. Yeah, that was really bad.
Speaker 3: Not an injury, but the worst surgery I ever had
Speaker 3: to have.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that sucks. Thank you for that, Nick, Kevin and
Speaker 1: Kansas is Ben and Danny Ge. Now that you're settled
Speaker 1: in your newest mansion, could you give an update on
Speaker 1: the found laundry cart? Yeah, Kevin, we don't really use
Speaker 1: the laundry cart. So if you want it, if you'll
Speaker 1: pay for the shipping, we can send.
Speaker 3: It to you.
Speaker 1: It's sitting in the garage and it's collecting dust because
Speaker 1: we have a upstairs downstairs set up, and the laundry
Speaker 1: cart not really designed to go upstairs because it's got
Speaker 1: the wheels and stuff like that, so we don't.
Speaker 3: Really use it.
Speaker 1: Danny G. Have you had any great fines like Maler's
Speaker 1: laundry cart? Kevin asked, have you found anything? Have you
Speaker 1: done dumpster diving Danny to find anything on the side
Speaker 1: of the road like I did.
Speaker 3: No. I am guilty of saving an item that was
Speaker 3: put out in front of our place to go to
Speaker 3: the garbage. It was. Have you seen those plastic drawers
Speaker 3: that they're stacked on top of each other.
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Sure, Yeah, some people use them to file desk crap
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. Some people use them in their
Speaker 3: closet for socks and underwear. Well, our middle kid, he
Speaker 3: cleaned his room. You know what that meant? Ben He
Speaker 3: had a girl coming over. That's the only time he
Speaker 3: cleans his room. And while he was cleaning, he, I guess,
Speaker 3: took that out of his closet and just dumped it
Speaker 3: in front to go to the dumpster. I looked at it.
Speaker 3: The first thing I thought was, like a technician, I
Speaker 3: could put microphone cables in that. I could put cords, yeah,
Speaker 3: charge cables and cords in there. And so I have
Speaker 3: it in the garage right now. And I looked at
Speaker 3: it a couple of days later and I'm like, what
Speaker 3: the hell am I doing salvaging garbage.
Speaker 1: Well, that's one way to look at it. But when
Speaker 1: we when we are going around my wife you and askers,
Speaker 1: she'll tell you, like if it's trash day. And I
Speaker 1: see like a like a lazy boy chair, I said,
Speaker 1: oh man, we should we should get that. I can
Speaker 1: sell that offer up, get like fifty bucks for that.
Speaker 3: You know, I can refurbished that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And look at that sofa. I could put
Speaker 1: that in my studio and I could like sleep on it.
Speaker 3: And I blame our parents for this because they were
Speaker 3: pack rats. Yeah, and our grandparents especially, Oh my god,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna save everything I spent a penny on.
Speaker 1: But as you get older, you collect more stuff as
Speaker 1: you go through life. So even the people that have
Speaker 1: like eight items, by the time they get older, they'll
Speaker 1: have fifteen items. Sixteen items A couple of quick ones.
Speaker 1: Ozzie Waz from Western Australia says, Hey, Ben and Danny G.
Speaker 1: I sent out a tweet to you last week. You
Speaker 1: read it out about not doing shout outs for my
Speaker 1: birthday and the daughters. The next day, I replayed it
Speaker 1: from the podcast from my daughter and the look on
Speaker 1: her face was priceless, especially when I told her that
Speaker 1: it was being broadcast on five hundred plus radio stations
Speaker 1: across the US. She had a smile.
Speaker 3: Ear to ear, Hey, that's six hundred.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're up to six hundred now as he was
Speaker 1: bad job by you, but yeah, well, thank you. I'm
Speaker 1: happy to make your daughter's death. That makes me happy,
Speaker 1: you know, and tell her again we will not do
Speaker 1: another shout out for your daughter. I don't care how
Speaker 1: cute she is and how sweet she is. We will
Speaker 1: not do a shout out for your daughter. A mic
Speaker 1: is overrun by trees and Fullerton. He says, Hey, Benon Danny,
Speaker 1: I like you guys. I'd like you guys to sell.
Speaker 1: In an argument I overheard in the baseball play where
Speaker 1: a runner is stranded between two bases, do you call
Speaker 1: it a pickle or a rundown? World series p orl
Speaker 1: Herscheiser likes pickle, but equally accomplished. Tim Cats was pretty
Speaker 1: adamant that adults should say rundown. Whose side are are
Speaker 1: you on on this controversial issue? That's from Mike and Fullerton.
Speaker 1: So I've heard both. When I was a kid, I
Speaker 1: heard pickle, but I've heard run down a lot. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with the bulldog Oi horshaze pickle.
Speaker 3: I feel like one is the glass half full and
Speaker 3: one is glass half empty. Rundown sounds like you're going
Speaker 3: to be out automatically. Pickle sounds like, yeah, this is
Speaker 3: a pickle. It could go either way.
Speaker 1: Plus I have to pick pickle. Alf the alien opiner
Speaker 1: will be offended if I don't pick the pickle.
Speaker 3: Now, pick pickles are kind of just gross I mean
Speaker 3: for a guy and a hamburger. Great, And I'm not
Speaker 3: being sexist her or anything, but there's an old wives
Speaker 3: tale about not letting your wifey or girlfriend eat too
Speaker 3: many pickles. I won't get into details.
Speaker 1: Well what happened Dan if they too many?
Speaker 3: H How could I say this kindly?
Speaker 1: What are you gonna say? How will you phrase it?
Speaker 3: Ah? Shoot, be politically corked this that the pickle, the
Speaker 3: pickles aura might come out of her, the pickles aura
Speaker 3: might come out of her body in some way.
Speaker 1: Oh is that right?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, okay, that's one way to a little that's
Speaker 1: like a dirty dash of pickle. Uh. Anyway, we'll get
