0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:05.400
<v Speaker 2>If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.200
<v Speaker 2>a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.480
<v Speaker 2>of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.520
<v Speaker 2>treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 2>rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:18.400

<v Speaker 4>of The Fifth Hour with Ben Mahler and Danny g As.

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:45.520
<v Speaker 1>We are providing you with a marginal podcast. Well hopefully

0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 1>it's better than marginal, and you can binge on the podcast.

0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:52.120
<v Speaker 1>You can listen to all the podcasts. If you wait

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:54.440
<v Speaker 1>till the end of the weekend you can overindulge, or

0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>you can listen podcast by podcast and wait for it

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 1>to download. I do love the fact. I love and

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.040
<v Speaker 1>hate the fact, and Danny g is with me of

0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 1>course on the bikes. I love that that people plan

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 1>their schedule around the podcast to the point where if

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 1>it's not up at exactly the right time, I get

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 1>angry messages and people saying what's going on. I don't

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:23.760
<v Speaker 1>understand why is the podcast that not off like they

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:28.040
<v Speaker 1>think that there is some kind of war crime Danny.

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:33.679
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, well, tough cookies or how do you say it is?

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:38.399
<v Speaker 5>Tough turtles, tough what toenails?

0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Tough toenails, or tough toenails.

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:41.360
<v Speaker 5>That's a good one.

0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 1>But listen, we're glad that you love the podcast. We

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 1>try to get it up as early as possible, but

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 1>sometimes there's acts of God. Isn't that the get out

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:53.240
<v Speaker 1>of jail? If you're an insurance company, well, we don't

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.000
<v Speaker 1>have to pay the claim. It's an act of God.

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>So if the podcast doesn't get up at exactly the

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.160
<v Speaker 1>right time, it's an act of God. Right, And you

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.919
<v Speaker 1>can't unpeel an orange. You can try, but you can't

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 1>unpeel an orange. So sometimes things happen, and you.

0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 5>Know, well, you know, I just saw one comment on

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:14.959
<v Speaker 5>Facebook last weekend. But the thing is is, remember I'm

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 5>also working and doing other jobs on the weekend, like

0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:20.959
<v Speaker 5>I did last weekend, so I was doing double duty.

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 5>I was carrying my laptop around with me. While we

0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:27.440
<v Speaker 5>were in a studio with Mike Tyson. You could hear

0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:31.919
<v Speaker 5>Ben Mallers tones coming out of the computer speaker. This

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:35.640
<v Speaker 5>travels with me. Ben, This is like my baby. I

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:39.480
<v Speaker 5>have a son, Daddy. This is like my first kid though,

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.519
<v Speaker 5>because this travels with me no matter where I'm at.

0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Are you going to be naming your son radio or

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 1>pod Pod for podcast?

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 5>It would be a good middle name.

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:55.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, radio pod there you go. Well, well, radio would

0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 1>be a tough first name because your last name is radio,

0:02:58.000 --> 0:02:59.480
<v Speaker 1>so it it'd be radio ring.

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's not good.

0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 1>That would be an awkward name. The kid would be

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 1>picked on at school. Radio Radio'd a bit of a problem. Anyway,

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:09.680
<v Speaker 1>big event at the Malor Mansion. Now, if you follow

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.360
<v Speaker 1>this podcast, you know and this is just the life

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:16.160
<v Speaker 1>of me Ben, in the life of Danny g As.

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:19.320
<v Speaker 1>We kind of let you behind the microphone as we

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:24.239
<v Speaker 1>have big, exciting lives star radio people. I mean, we're

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>living the dream here, Danny. We're big time radio people.

0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 1>An amazing thing. It is not at all like the

0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Twilight Zone. It's not like you're traveling through another dimension,

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 1>a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mine. No, no, no,

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>it is a wondrous land. So a couple of years

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 1>ago when the COVID hit, I guess we're going back

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:49.760
<v Speaker 1>three years now, a few months before COVID happened, I

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>had made a very big and very big purchase that

0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 1>was a life changing proom. This is what a loser

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I am that I was so excited about getting this.

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 1>I got a gymnasium grade treadmill. They were on sale

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 1>and there was a gym that had closed. It's the

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 1>same treadmill that I use when I go to the

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>actual gym. I love this thing, right, I'm on there

0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 1>all the time. You know, It's my standard default workout.

0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:22.440
<v Speaker 1>That's my deal. So I bought this treadmill and I

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:24.320
<v Speaker 1>got the whole thing. We had to call an electrician

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 1>to get the things set up because it takes special

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:32.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of plug. And anyway, when COVID happened, to make

0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:36.919
<v Speaker 1>a long story a little bit longer, things did not

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.240
<v Speaker 1>go well. And at the end of twenty twenty into

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty one, my father had become sick and really

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:47.600
<v Speaker 1>suddenly passed away. And in the process we ended up

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:52.000
<v Speaker 1>moving while the pandemic was still going on. And the

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.599
<v Speaker 1>people that moved the treadmill, let's just say they didn't

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.880
<v Speaker 1>use kid gloves when they were taking the treadmill apart.

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.400
<v Speaker 1>It was not a Noble Art the art of moving there.

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.600
<v Speaker 1>It was a bit of a frightening experience. It was

0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:10.200
<v Speaker 1>really terrifying watching this thing being taken apart. So it

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:13.880
<v Speaker 1>stayed in storage for about a year. It came out

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:20.760
<v Speaker 1>as storage and it didn't work. So that was a problem. Shocker, yeah,

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 1>and covered in dust and all that. And so finally

0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 1>within the last week here my lovely wife has has

0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.919
<v Speaker 1>gifted this is this my birthday weekend here Danny and

0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:35.800
<v Speaker 1>so I said, she asked me what I wanted for

0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:37.640
<v Speaker 1>my birthday? What a loser? I said, this is what

0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I want. I want my I want to I want

0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:43.240
<v Speaker 1>a treadmill to be fixed. So we knew a guy

0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.680
<v Speaker 1>that kind of Now it's halfway fixed. It's not all

0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 1>the way fixed. You know how treadmills have elevation. That's

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.400
<v Speaker 1>not working. But the rest of it works, and I'm

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 1>fine with that for now. I'm fine with that for now.

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:59.600
<v Speaker 1>So I can studio exactly exactly. You know, it's not perfect.

0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Looks good, it definitely looks good. It looks like everything

0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:06.480
<v Speaker 1>should be working. It doesn't all work. It looks great.

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:11.640
<v Speaker 1>It's aesthetically pleasing and all that. So still needs a

0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:13.400
<v Speaker 1>little bit work, But it's been nice to have it back.

0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:14.839
<v Speaker 1>And I don't even use it every but I still

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 1>go to the gym because I have a gym membership

0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:20.240
<v Speaker 1>that I'm still paying for. But it's nice to have.

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 1>And sometimes on the weekends or if I have an

0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.280
<v Speaker 1>extra fifteen minutes, I want to just jump on here

0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:27.480
<v Speaker 1>and there sporadically. So it's kind a cool thing to have.

0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:30.599
<v Speaker 1>And it's a one of those perks in life that

0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.279
<v Speaker 1>are neat to have, and so it's it's nice. You know.

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 1>It's also nice dad shoes. Hell right, not those?

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 5>No, they're not nice.

0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:40.679
<v Speaker 1>Oh they're not nice.

0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 5>No, Well you buy? Do you buy yours? At Costco?

0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:47.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't. My feet are two wide. I can't buy.

0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 5>Otherwise you would, though, right of course I would.

0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Yes, absolutely.

0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.159
<v Speaker 5>There's somebody else And I mentioned his name a few

0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:59.720
<v Speaker 5>minutes ago. Might surprise you that he rocks dad shoes

0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 5>in Vegas broadcasting live last weekend for that big fight, which,

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:06.800
<v Speaker 5>by the way, did the Russian bot help you watch it?

0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I was able to see it. Did you go to

0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:10.720
<v Speaker 1>the fire? Were you able to get in?

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 3>Or no?

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 1>You No? You did not? Ah?

0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.239
<v Speaker 5>No, I know. It's like when we covered the super Bowl.

0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:19.680
<v Speaker 1>I know, I don't know. It's like everyone goes to

0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:21.680
<v Speaker 1>the super Bowl and hardly anyone ever actually goes to

0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:22.080
<v Speaker 1>the game.

0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.720
<v Speaker 5>It's like, yeah, but it was still a great weekend,

0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 5>good food. It was fun hanging out with Covino and

0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:29.640
<v Speaker 5>Rich and spot.

0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Now did you make before you tell the story you

0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:34.480
<v Speaker 1>take it to I did recommend a burger place? Were

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:35.080
<v Speaker 1>able to make it?

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:38.840
<v Speaker 5>Or no? No? Because we had food credits but only

0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:40.480
<v Speaker 5>inside Win and Encore.

0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh so you had free food? Huh.

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.200
<v Speaker 5>We we did have some free food, but we had

0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:50.000
<v Speaker 5>to stay but where we were at although funny story

0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.440
<v Speaker 5>about that. We go into one of the restaurants in

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:57.480
<v Speaker 5>the wind and Rich says, all right, I'm gonna put

0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:00.320
<v Speaker 5>this meal on my room for the credit that I

0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:03.600
<v Speaker 5>have for a meal. So you know, we're eating, We're

0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.559
<v Speaker 5>ordering what we want off the menu. He even ordered

0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:09.360
<v Speaker 5>two desserts ben not one, but two for the table.

0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:14.760
<v Speaker 5>And then when he told the waitress at the very end, yeah,

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 5>my room number is this, she said, we're privately owned. No, yeah,

0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:28.120
<v Speaker 5>poor Rich. So he had to just put it on

0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:29.200
<v Speaker 5>his own credit card.

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.680
<v Speaker 1>And that's a body blow.

0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:34.840
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, just to be a dick, I said, so, do

0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 5>you think you would have got a second dessert?

0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:39.079
<v Speaker 1>No, what you should have done is that he said,

0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.320
<v Speaker 1>can I get a doggy bag? I'd like some of

0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 1>that orange chicken to go? Can I get some?

0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:49.880
<v Speaker 5>It was a good time. It was a lot of fun,

0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:53.120
<v Speaker 5>but it was hard work too, because we're lugging around

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 5>all this broadcasting gear. What three four hours of broadcasting,

0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:02.440
<v Speaker 5>But there was a law of prep before. There was

0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.480
<v Speaker 5>a lot of post production after. Of course, not for

0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.840
<v Speaker 5>rich He got to run and he plays digital Roulette

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.760
<v Speaker 5>really yeah, a video game. It's like Roulette, but a

0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:13.480
<v Speaker 5>video game.

0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:18.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, with real money. I've done that. I love Roulette really,

0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:22.319
<v Speaker 1>that's my favorite game to play in Vegas. The problem

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I got burned on one of those Roulette things because

0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:28.920
<v Speaker 1>I have a certain system with Roulette, like it's it's

0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.559
<v Speaker 1>you play the odds, right, it's either black, red or green,

0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:33.439
<v Speaker 1>and you need to pick red or black fifty to

0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 1>fifty chance or even fifty. Well it's not quite fifty

0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:39.600
<v Speaker 1>to fifty. But I was playing one of those Roulette

0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:43.160
<v Speaker 1>machines and I was betting red. And the way it

0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.960
<v Speaker 1>works is you when you know, I'll give the system

0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 1>out right. I don't do it really much anymore. But

0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:52.440
<v Speaker 1>you bet red, you lose, you double your bet, you

0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:54.640
<v Speaker 1>lose again, you double your bet. Now you got to

0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:56.880
<v Speaker 1>have a big enough payroll, big enough bank roll. But

0:09:56.960 --> 0:10:00.120
<v Speaker 1>eventually it's going to come back to red in less. Yes,

0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 1>it's a rig game, and you're playing a roulette game,

0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:09.360
<v Speaker 1>a video game version, and it hits green or black.

0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:12.959
<v Speaker 1>I think it was nine or ten times in a row,

0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:14.240
<v Speaker 1>and I went, I lost everything.

0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 5>Oh brutal. There. At one point he was up seven

0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:20.200
<v Speaker 5>hundred and twenty dollars.

0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh see, what you got to do is when you

0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:24.560
<v Speaker 1>got to go back to your original amount and save

0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 1>the rest is as profits is which you got.

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 5>So I told him the same thing and he was like,

0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.080
<v Speaker 5>I know, I know, but he kept he's a Niners fan.

0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:37.440
<v Speaker 5>He kept doing Red sixteen, Red sixteen for Joe Montana,

0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:41.840
<v Speaker 5>Red sixteen, so he's he's you know, he at least

0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 5>got to go have a little bit of fun doing that.

0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:47.160
<v Speaker 5>While I was doing post production in the Blue Wires

0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:51.760
<v Speaker 5>studios there at the wind so beautiful setup looked spectacular

0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:55.000
<v Speaker 5>on the cameras but also functioned at one hundred percent

0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:59.320
<v Speaker 5>nice studios there is you're walking away from the pool

0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.680
<v Speaker 5>in the Spa to some of the fancy restaurants, you

0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:05.680
<v Speaker 5>walk past this studio, so it's like being in a

0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:10.520
<v Speaker 5>fish bowl. All the wind clientele and visitors are looking

0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.720
<v Speaker 5>into the studio and they can hear the broadcast. So

0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:18.600
<v Speaker 5>it's a pretty cool setup. So we do Friday show live. Saturday,

0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:22.400
<v Speaker 5>we come back to do a special podcast version of

0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:25.840
<v Speaker 5>the show as a fight preview. But we get a

0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.680
<v Speaker 5>call saying, hey, we know you guys are all set

0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.240
<v Speaker 5>to go at two pm. We're gonna have to push

0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.040
<v Speaker 5>you back a little bit because Mike Tyson is in

0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:37.560
<v Speaker 5>there right now doing his podcast. He and his crew

0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:41.520
<v Speaker 5>mentioned that he's been on your show quite a few times,

0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:45.120
<v Speaker 5>and they apologize for pushing you guys back, but he

0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:48.040
<v Speaker 5>said he'll do a few minutes with you and take

0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 5>some video promo stuff with you before you jump on

0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.280
<v Speaker 5>the air. So we're like, okay, that's cool. So we

0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:57.520
<v Speaker 5>hang around. We're waiting, We're waiting. We get in there.

0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:00.680
<v Speaker 5>There's obviously a shit ton of people outside the window

0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:04.040
<v Speaker 5>watching and listening, trying to get a picture of Mike Tyson.

0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:07.359
<v Speaker 1>I feel this is a little self and grand diving.

0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:12.120
<v Speaker 5>Inside the Green room. Is this guy who's kind of

0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:16.320
<v Speaker 5>cheering on the interview uh, And a couple of times

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 5>he kept saying, my dad this, and yeah, my dad, Well,

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.439
<v Speaker 5>when's my dad gonna be done? And I didn't know

0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.520
<v Speaker 5>if he was talking about the guy who was interviewing

0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:28.319
<v Speaker 5>Mike Tyson. The R and B singer Neo was also

0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:30.240
<v Speaker 5>in there, and I'm like, well, this kid's a little

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:33.240
<v Speaker 5>too old to be Neo's son, but I wasn't sure.

0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:37.000
<v Speaker 5>So finally I asked him. I said, who's your dad, Mike.

0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:41.440
<v Speaker 5>Mike's my dad, so's Tyson's son, which was cool, So

0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:45.520
<v Speaker 5>we started chatting with him, and then Tyson comes out

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.240
<v Speaker 5>and he's got this look on his face. Ben it

0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:51.240
<v Speaker 5>looked like he was about to go ten. He wanted

0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 5>to punch somebody in the grill.

0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:54.240
<v Speaker 1>I love me.

0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:58.480
<v Speaker 5>It turns out he wanted to get the f out

0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 5>of there because they wouldn't let him smoke inside the studio.

0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I was gonna ask you, because he's a big

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.120
<v Speaker 1>weed guy. Did he smell like weed? Was he smelling

0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:08.040
<v Speaker 1>like the weed there?

0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:12.520
<v Speaker 5>His weed company manager was there in the building. They

0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:16.160
<v Speaker 5>were pushing that brand, and they were also pushing Mike's

0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:21.640
<v Speaker 5>Pro brand, which is his boxing gloves and boxing gear. Well,

0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:24.560
<v Speaker 5>he had some of those edible ears that he sells

0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:28.560
<v Speaker 5>in honor of Evander Holyfield, so he had the gummies

0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:31.120
<v Speaker 5>they were handing out. They gave us a cool bag

0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:35.720
<v Speaker 5>of some Tyson boxing gloves. And even though Tyson was

0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:39.360
<v Speaker 5>super I don't want to say grouchy, but he had

0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:43.440
<v Speaker 5>been in there broadcasting for four hours, which you know

0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:47.080
<v Speaker 5>what that's like, But for him, four hours without a

0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:50.319
<v Speaker 5>weed break might as well have been a year because

0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 5>he wanted to get the f out of there and

0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:53.640
<v Speaker 5>smoke smoke.

0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:59.280
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm surprised in being in Vegas where it is

0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:03.400
<v Speaker 1>nothing but cigarette and weed smoke. Like they won't they

0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:06.560
<v Speaker 1>won't allow Mike Tyson to smoke in the studio, like

0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:10.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't get it. Did they anyone explain why?

0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:11.360
<v Speaker 1>That is?

0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.960
<v Speaker 5>The guy that runs the place told us that the

0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:18.440
<v Speaker 5>Win went all out with these facilities. They spent over

0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 5>a million dollars on this TV slash radio setup. It's

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:27.840
<v Speaker 5>brand shiny, spanking new, kind of like our new setup

0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:31.240
<v Speaker 5>in Sherman Oaks, California. And so it would be like

0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.920
<v Speaker 5>coop lighting up inside the new digs. We have just

0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.680
<v Speaker 5>not gonna see that. So even though he was Mike,

0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.000
<v Speaker 5>they told him, all right, we're gonna wrap it up.

0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:43.320
<v Speaker 5>You did your four hours. I guess they filmed two

0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:47.320
<v Speaker 5>of their two hour podcasts back to back. But for Mike,

0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.160
<v Speaker 5>he already had a long day because it's a fight weekend.

0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.040
<v Speaker 5>Everybody's trying to get a piece of him. Everybody was

0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 5>trying to interview him to get his prediction on the

0:14:55.920 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 5>big Garcia fight and Tank Davis. Mike was a already tired,

0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:03.520
<v Speaker 5>you know, from being picked at, but then he had

0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:06.680
<v Speaker 5>to do his own show, his own hot boxing podcast.

0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:09.200
<v Speaker 5>But it was funny to watch him walk out of

0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:12.120
<v Speaker 5>the main studio. I wasn't the only one. Cavino looked

0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:16.080
<v Speaker 5>down too. Mike has this blinged out shirt on. It's

0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:19.520
<v Speaker 5>like some shiny thread. It looked like he must have

0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:22.920
<v Speaker 5>dropped one thousand dollars on his shirt, but then on

0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:28.240
<v Speaker 5>his feet some new balanced dad shoes. Oh my gosh.

0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, look the baddest man on the planet, iron like ty.

0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:34.080
<v Speaker 1>That's kid dynamite.

0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:38.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. Man, the one thousand dollars shirt, but the dad shoes.

0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:41.960
<v Speaker 5>He came out and he gave both Covino and Rich

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:45.400
<v Speaker 5>a hug. Obviously, he's a big part of our Tuesdays

0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:49.040
<v Speaker 5>at the Network with Tyson Tuesdays and Iron Mike Trivia.

0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:52.720
<v Speaker 5>So him and his camp gave us giveaways to give

0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:56.240
<v Speaker 5>out his prizes on Tuesday, and he only posed for

0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:59.080
<v Speaker 5>one picture before he got out of there to smoke,

0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:01.520
<v Speaker 5>and that was with you know and Rich, which was

0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:05.400
<v Speaker 5>really nice. But as he walked away, Cavina looked at

0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:07.960
<v Speaker 5>me and he was like, did you see his dad shoes?

0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:14.080
<v Speaker 1>That's your that's your future, Danny g your future. He's

0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:17.080
<v Speaker 1>only he's not actually that much older than us. I think.

0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:19.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how old is Tyson. I don't even know.

0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:21.760
<v Speaker 1>He's got to be got to me in his fifties.

0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:26.440
<v Speaker 5>But yeah, he's not bigger than us. I could take him.

0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:30.240
<v Speaker 1>You think I'd like to see that. He's not very tall.

0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Does his kid look like him? Does his son?

0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:34.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah? His son did look like him.

0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, got a bunch of kids, U he does, Mike.

0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:44.840
<v Speaker 5>So really nice kid, very well spoken, and yeah he

0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:46.600
<v Speaker 5>helps his dad at the ranch.

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:52.160
<v Speaker 1>The weed ranch, Tyson must have. I bet you he's

0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:54.720
<v Speaker 1>made more money from weed than he had boxing.

0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:58.960
<v Speaker 5>They're not wrong. His manager told us that Tyson's weed

0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:03.400
<v Speaker 5>company right now sells the most weed in America?

0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Is that right?

0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:05.639
<v Speaker 5>Wow?

0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:09.359
<v Speaker 1>How about that? Think about that heavyweight champion of the world,

0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:13.159
<v Speaker 1>all those big fights with Lennox Lewis and all the

0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:16.240
<v Speaker 1>different fights over the years. But he was part of

0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 1>one of the great one of the great failed radio promotions.

0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:22.040
<v Speaker 1>We were in the late nineties, I think it was

0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:27.399
<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety seven, and we'd rent out the radio station,

0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:30.080
<v Speaker 1>would rent out venues in Hollywood and they'd have listener

0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.919
<v Speaker 1>parties for the big pay per view fights, and it

0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:37.840
<v Speaker 1>was the Whiskey of Go Go, I think it was

0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:39.480
<v Speaker 1>the It was either the Whiskey of Go Go or

0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:41.480
<v Speaker 1>the Viper Room, which I don't think is around anymore.

0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:44.399
<v Speaker 1>But they rented out one of these places in Hollywood

0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:48.719
<v Speaker 1>for the Tyson fight with the Vander Holyfield, which ended

0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:54.639
<v Speaker 1>with Tyson getting the munchies fighting off the ear of

0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:59.119
<v Speaker 1>holy Field. And the people that were there at the

0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:01.800
<v Speaker 1>party were so upset they wanted like refunds and stuff

0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:03.920
<v Speaker 1>because the way the fight is. I'm like, no, I

0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:06.440
<v Speaker 1>don't think we're gonna get a no refunds, No, no,

0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:10.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you know. The program director was freaking out.

0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:13.320
<v Speaker 1>It was like a big, a big shit show, is

0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:19.800
<v Speaker 1>what it was. I'm a man, I'm forty and I

0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:22.560
<v Speaker 1>know we played this not that long ago. But today

0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:26.280
<v Speaker 1>is the day. Today is a big day. It's April

0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:27.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty ninth.

0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:30.119
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, your birthday, your birthday.

0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:32.199
<v Speaker 1>It's a big day for me. But it's also a

0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:38.119
<v Speaker 1>big day because this is the fortieth anniversary. I believe

0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:42.359
<v Speaker 1>it's the fortieth anniversary of the greatest rant of all time,

0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:47.119
<v Speaker 1>the Lee Ilia rant, which is my favorite. I'm so

0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:49.119
<v Speaker 1>happy that I was born on this day. So this

0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:54.760
<v Speaker 1>happened in nineteen eighty three, April twenty ninth, nineteen eighty three,

0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:57.840
<v Speaker 1>so I believe I'm right. You go eighty three to

0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:00.840
<v Speaker 1>ninety three to two thousand and three, twan thirteen, twenty

0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:04.439
<v Speaker 1>twenty three. So this fortieth anniversary of Lee Ilia, the

0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Cub manager. After a Cub Dodger game early in the season,

0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Cubs got off to a bad start. It was not

0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:15.159
<v Speaker 1>a good situation and normally I would not play this again, Danny,

0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:18.359
<v Speaker 1>but we're gonna play it right here, and this is

0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:21.520
<v Speaker 1>the day to do it. It is the single greatest

0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:25.920
<v Speaker 1>rant in the history of coaches rants, the gold standard

0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:30.560
<v Speaker 1>the great lee Ilia. Let's go to the audio tape.

0:19:31.160 --> 0:19:33.840
<v Speaker 3>I'll tell you one fucking thing. I hope we get

0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:36.880
<v Speaker 3>fucking hotter and shit, just to stuff it up them

0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:39.720
<v Speaker 3>three thousand fucking people that show up every fucking day,

0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:45.200
<v Speaker 3>because if they're the real Chicago fucking fans, they can

0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:50.680
<v Speaker 3>kiss my fucking hands right downtown and print it. They're

0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:54.680
<v Speaker 3>really really behind you around here, my fucking hands.

0:19:56.359 --> 0:19:57.760
<v Speaker 5>The fuck am I supposed to do?

0:19:57.880 --> 0:19:59.919
<v Speaker 3>Go out there and let my fucking players get destroy

0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:02.840
<v Speaker 3>every day and be quiet about it for the fucking

0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:06.320
<v Speaker 3>nickel Dine people to show up. The motherfuckers don't even work.

0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 3>That's why they're out at the fucking game. They only

0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:11.560
<v Speaker 3>go out and get a fucking job and find out

0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:13.520
<v Speaker 3>what it's like to go out there in a fucking living.

0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:17.320
<v Speaker 3>Eighty five percent of the fucking world work it. The

0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:21.920
<v Speaker 3>other fifteen come out here the fucking playground for the cocksuckers.

0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:27.800
<v Speaker 3>Rip them, motherfuckers, rip them tuck the cocksuckers. What the

0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:32.840
<v Speaker 3>fucking players, god guys fusing their fucking ass and them

0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:37.120
<v Speaker 3>fucking people do. And that's the cut, my fucking ant.

0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:41.960
<v Speaker 3>They talk about the great fucking support that the players

0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:44.920
<v Speaker 3>get around here. I haven't seen it this fucking there.

0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:47.280
<v Speaker 3>The name of the game is hit the ball, catch

0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:51.520
<v Speaker 3>the ball, and get the fucking job done. Right now,

0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:55.719
<v Speaker 3>we have more losses than we have wins. The fucking

0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:58.840
<v Speaker 3>changes that have happened in the Cup organization are multifolds.

0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:05.520
<v Speaker 3>They don't show because we're five and fourteen, and unfortunately

0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:10.199
<v Speaker 3>that's the criteria of them. Some fifteen motherfucking percent that

0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:13.040
<v Speaker 3>come out to day baseball. The other eighty five percent

0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:17.280
<v Speaker 3>are earning a living. It'll take more than a five

0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:20.800
<v Speaker 3>and thirteen or five and fourteen to destroy the makeup

0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:25.159
<v Speaker 3>of this club. I guarantee you that there's some fucking

0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:27.000
<v Speaker 3>pros out there that want to fucking.

0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:27.400
<v Speaker 1>Play this game.

0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:32.879
<v Speaker 3>But you're sucking a fucking sigma, the fucking Dodgers and

0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:35.640
<v Speaker 3>the Phillies and the Cardinals and all that sheep shit.

0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:42.960
<v Speaker 3>All these mother fucking editorials about say and fucking the

0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:48.720
<v Speaker 3>philliitis and all that shit that's they're sickening. It's unbelievable,

0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:51.879
<v Speaker 3>it really is. It's a disheartening fucking situation we're in

0:21:51.960 --> 0:21:55.080
<v Speaker 3>right now, five and fourteen. Doesn't the gate all that

0:21:55.240 --> 0:22:01.720
<v Speaker 3>work one hundred and forty three fucking games left. What

0:22:01.840 --> 0:22:04.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm trying to say is, don't rip them fucking guys

0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:04.600
<v Speaker 3>out there.

0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:05.399
<v Speaker 5>Rip me.

0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:08.640
<v Speaker 3>Do you want to rip somebody? Rip my fucking hand,

0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:12.280
<v Speaker 3>But don't rip them fucking guys because they're given everything

0:22:12.359 --> 0:22:15.359
<v Speaker 3>they can give. But once we hit that fucking groove,

0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:20.639
<v Speaker 3>it'll flow, and it will flow. The talent's there. I

0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:23.879
<v Speaker 3>don't know how to make it any Clearancey, I'm frustrated.

0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:27.600
<v Speaker 3>I'll guarantee I'm frustrated. It'd be different if I walked

0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:29.360
<v Speaker 3>in this room every day at eight thirty, I saw

0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:32.400
<v Speaker 3>a bunch of guys. They didn't give a shit. They

0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:34.359
<v Speaker 3>give a shit, and it's a tough National League.

0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Eese, oh man, of all the days. Day on my birthday,

0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:42.000
<v Speaker 1>that's what a great gift. I was a little kid.

0:22:42.359 --> 0:22:45.600
<v Speaker 5>Well, I'm saying you can, uh, you can ask for

0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:48.439
<v Speaker 5>whatever audio you would like today, but that one was

0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:50.280
<v Speaker 5>so nice we had to do it twice.

0:22:50.960 --> 0:22:52.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And some have said, why why would you do

0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:55.679
<v Speaker 1>the podcast? It's your birthday, you should take the podcast up,

0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:59.280
<v Speaker 1>And I say, no, dandy, no, this is this is

0:22:59.320 --> 0:23:03.000
<v Speaker 1>not the work. You know, It's pales in comparison to

0:23:03.040 --> 0:23:05.119
<v Speaker 1>what other people do, have real jobs and where they

0:23:05.119 --> 0:23:08.040
<v Speaker 1>have to pave roads and do construction and things like

0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:11.080
<v Speaker 1>that and physical I mean, we're mentally drained at the

0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:14.200
<v Speaker 1>end of the week. But you know, at the same time,

0:23:14.240 --> 0:23:16.400
<v Speaker 1>it's fun. We like doing it. And plus you got

0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:18.400
<v Speaker 1>to keep doing it until they pull the microphone away

0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:20.000
<v Speaker 1>from you. Isn't that the way that works, right? I

0:23:20.000 --> 0:23:21.000
<v Speaker 1>think that's the way that works.

0:23:21.119 --> 0:23:21.960
<v Speaker 5>Oh outswinging.

0:23:22.400 --> 0:23:24.479
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you got to keep doing it because eventually they

0:23:24.480 --> 0:23:28.359
<v Speaker 1>won't give you the opportunity. Got to keep going. Malar Merch.

0:23:28.800 --> 0:23:34.439
<v Speaker 1>Malard Merch a tremendous success. It's nobody can buy the

0:23:34.440 --> 0:23:37.359
<v Speaker 1>shirts anymore. But we had the Minnesota Malard meat and

0:23:37.359 --> 0:23:42.600
<v Speaker 1>green shirt which was available limited time. We talked about

0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:46.800
<v Speaker 1>it last week on the podcast. We had overwhelming support

0:23:46.960 --> 0:23:49.960
<v Speaker 1>from the Mallard Militia, which is great. It's a limited

0:23:50.119 --> 0:23:53.399
<v Speaker 1>edition shirt, it's purple, it's got the the Ben Mahler

0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:57.119
<v Speaker 1>Show name on it, the silhouette of the state of

0:23:57.160 --> 0:24:01.119
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota and all of that. And so those will be

0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:05.520
<v Speaker 1>sent out. You should be getting them before the meet

0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:07.320
<v Speaker 1>and greet, and I'm happy to report a lot of

0:24:07.320 --> 0:24:10.399
<v Speaker 1>people that appeers order those who are not going to

0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:14.720
<v Speaker 1>actually attend the event and one woman in particular I

0:24:14.760 --> 0:24:17.360
<v Speaker 1>would like to thank, and I don't think she wants

0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:19.120
<v Speaker 1>me to say her name, at least not her real name.

0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:22.439
<v Speaker 1>But she's a super fan of the show in Minnesota, Danny,

0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:27.080
<v Speaker 1>and she decided to help support the Malard Merch movement.

0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:31.000
<v Speaker 1>I guess she wants more malor merch. She bought I

0:24:31.040 --> 0:24:38.120
<v Speaker 1>think one fan bought twenty five shirts, right, yeah, twenty

0:24:38.119 --> 0:24:40.359
<v Speaker 1>five or twenty six shirts. She said she's going to

0:24:40.400 --> 0:24:43.200
<v Speaker 1>give them out to her friends. She said she wishes

0:24:43.240 --> 0:24:45.639
<v Speaker 1>they all listen, but she said some of them do

0:24:45.760 --> 0:24:48.159
<v Speaker 1>and all whatnot. I guess maybe they'll start listening and

0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:49.919
<v Speaker 1>all that. But it was really great.

0:24:50.320 --> 0:24:53.040
<v Speaker 5>Here's an idea for her, ben she can do a

0:24:53.119 --> 0:24:56.199
<v Speaker 5>hit at the meet and greet. She could do Mallard

0:24:56.280 --> 0:24:59.960
<v Speaker 5>or Militia trivia and she's like her own street team.

0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:01.800
<v Speaker 5>She has prizes. Yeah.

0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:04.840
<v Speaker 1>See, that's a great idea because people have been emailing me, Danny,

0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:07.159
<v Speaker 1>and they're saying, well, what kind of events are we have?

0:25:07.359 --> 0:25:08.919
<v Speaker 1>What are we having at the meet and greet? And

0:25:09.000 --> 0:25:10.600
<v Speaker 1>my response is always, well, it's just kind of me

0:25:10.640 --> 0:25:12.600
<v Speaker 1>hanging out, you know, me talking to saying hello, and

0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:17.120
<v Speaker 1>you can meet other listeners but a Mather Show theme trivia,

0:25:17.480 --> 0:25:20.280
<v Speaker 1>which would either be one of the greatest things of

0:25:20.320 --> 0:25:25.040
<v Speaker 1>all time or a disaster where no one gets it right.

0:25:25.119 --> 0:25:29.200
<v Speaker 1>And I'm sitting there like, oh my god, what Jimminy cricket?

0:25:29.280 --> 0:25:32.879
<v Speaker 1>What happened? So it could go one of two ways.

0:25:33.359 --> 0:25:36.760
<v Speaker 1>But it's already gonna be a circus under the big Top,

0:25:36.880 --> 0:25:39.960
<v Speaker 1>like I'm gonna be the ringleader. We've got Spence, Cycer,

0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:44.679
<v Speaker 1>Regina who's helping put this together, Doc Mike. There's a

0:25:44.720 --> 0:25:47.960
<v Speaker 1>couple of listeners in Florida that are considering flying in.

0:25:48.320 --> 0:25:51.600
<v Speaker 1>We have one from northern California, one of our buddies,

0:25:51.600 --> 0:25:53.520
<v Speaker 1>a big forty nine er fans gonna be flying in.

0:25:53.960 --> 0:25:57.359
<v Speaker 1>I've had people email me from Canada, obviously a lot

0:25:57.359 --> 0:25:59.920
<v Speaker 1>of people Wisconsin who are going to drive over, which

0:25:59.920 --> 0:26:03.359
<v Speaker 1>is not that far. And so I'm excited. I'm really excited.

0:26:03.359 --> 0:26:05.280
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be a lot of fun, and it sounds

0:26:05.280 --> 0:26:06.800
<v Speaker 1>like we're gonna get a pretty good turnout. But I

0:26:06.800 --> 0:26:08.399
<v Speaker 1>have no idea who's gonna show up. But as far

0:26:08.440 --> 0:26:11.399
<v Speaker 1>as the Mallard merch, I did want to thank the

0:26:11.600 --> 0:26:13.840
<v Speaker 1>people that purchased the shirts, and I did see some

0:26:14.000 --> 0:26:15.720
<v Speaker 1>familiar names. I don't know if they want me to

0:26:15.720 --> 0:26:18.600
<v Speaker 1>say their names or not, but thank you. I know

0:26:18.640 --> 0:26:21.160
<v Speaker 1>there was one of our big fans and okay see

0:26:21.280 --> 0:26:24.560
<v Speaker 1>for example. And so this was a test run. And

0:26:24.640 --> 0:26:27.199
<v Speaker 1>if you guys want you know those of you that

0:26:27.240 --> 0:26:29.840
<v Speaker 1>bought the shirt and those of you that didn't buy

0:26:29.840 --> 0:26:31.480
<v Speaker 1>the shirt but thought maybe you should have bought the

0:26:31.520 --> 0:26:35.280
<v Speaker 1>shirt and you missed out on it. My idea is

0:26:35.920 --> 0:26:38.640
<v Speaker 1>later on, maybe in the summer or the end of summer,

0:26:39.720 --> 0:26:42.560
<v Speaker 1>we'll try to do something again, maybe a more generic

0:26:42.640 --> 0:26:46.280
<v Speaker 1>shirt that like a Mallard militia theme thing. So we'll

0:26:46.280 --> 0:26:49.119
<v Speaker 1>see what happens with that. But I'm happy to report

0:26:49.160 --> 0:26:51.879
<v Speaker 1>that one very well. We have the backscratcher segment, Danny,

0:26:51.920 --> 0:26:55.960
<v Speaker 1>the backscratcher segment. As you scratch our back, we will

0:26:55.960 --> 0:27:00.560
<v Speaker 1>scratch your back. And how many reviews did we get

0:27:00.560 --> 0:27:04.560
<v Speaker 1>this week to chase the four hundred? Did we get zero,

0:27:05.680 --> 0:27:08.760
<v Speaker 1>one or three reviews this week?

0:27:08.840 --> 0:27:12.440
<v Speaker 5>Danny G. I think the listeners were just as busy

0:27:12.560 --> 0:27:14.920
<v Speaker 5>as we were with the brand new studios.

0:27:15.480 --> 0:27:21.679
<v Speaker 1>Zero surprise, surprise, surprise, Danny. We got one fun review.

0:27:21.760 --> 0:27:26.040
<v Speaker 1>One review and here it is. It says five stars,

0:27:27.160 --> 0:27:30.280
<v Speaker 1>five stars. This is the Apple podcast page, which for

0:27:30.320 --> 0:27:37.960
<v Speaker 1>some reason the management look at and they like, I

0:27:38.000 --> 0:27:40.199
<v Speaker 1>don't understand why. It makes no sense to me, but

0:27:40.240 --> 0:27:43.200
<v Speaker 1>they do. These are people that live different lives than us.

0:27:43.640 --> 0:27:46.840
<v Speaker 1>So this one says, if you enjoy fun facts, this

0:27:46.920 --> 0:27:50.360
<v Speaker 1>is the podcast for you. Out the Alien O piner Oh,

0:27:50.400 --> 0:27:54.520
<v Speaker 1>this is a rare and appropriate update to My Golden Ticket,

0:27:54.640 --> 0:27:58.680
<v Speaker 1>awarded previous review of the Fifth Hour podcast with Ben

0:27:58.720 --> 0:28:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Mallor and Daddy Radio who.

0:28:01.800 --> 0:28:03.760
<v Speaker 5>Gave him a golden ticket, Well, he.

0:28:03.800 --> 0:28:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Deserved a golden ticket. The man got a golden ticket,

0:28:06.760 --> 0:28:10.000
<v Speaker 1>he says. If you never listen to this podcast, it's

0:28:10.040 --> 0:28:12.840
<v Speaker 1>a spin off of the Ben Maler show, The Overnight

0:28:12.880 --> 0:28:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Juggernaut on Fox Sports Radio weeknights two am to six am.

0:28:16.560 --> 0:28:20.359
<v Speaker 1>This sounds like something I wrote. The podcast is constantly

0:28:20.400 --> 0:28:24.280
<v Speaker 1>evolving and only getting better. Tune in eight days a

0:28:24.280 --> 0:28:27.439
<v Speaker 1>week to catch up on old episodes and listen to

0:28:27.480 --> 0:28:31.080
<v Speaker 1>new content every Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

0:28:31.560 --> 0:28:34.000
<v Speaker 5>He said, sounds like commercial copy I write.

0:28:34.080 --> 0:28:36.320
<v Speaker 1>This is a professional copy. I did not write this.

0:28:36.560 --> 0:28:38.880
<v Speaker 1>You can someday tell your friends that you were a

0:28:38.960 --> 0:28:42.360
<v Speaker 1>listener to Ben Maller before he was awarded the Marconi

0:28:42.720 --> 0:28:46.720
<v Speaker 1>for excellence and radio broadcasting. That is, if he is

0:28:46.840 --> 0:28:50.360
<v Speaker 1>nominated for the aforementioned award by the people that care

0:28:50.520 --> 0:28:51.800
<v Speaker 1>about this review.

0:28:53.200 --> 0:28:56.160
<v Speaker 5>Ben's beIN Big. Ben Maller is an American sports radio

0:28:56.160 --> 0:29:01.960
<v Speaker 5>host weekday radio show up Fox Sports Radio three Pacific Time.

0:29:04.040 --> 0:29:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, al thank you very much. Alf. Actually this is funny.

0:29:06.720 --> 0:29:09.880
<v Speaker 1>So Alv tried to nominate me for a Marconi Award,

0:29:10.280 --> 0:29:13.640
<v Speaker 1>but then realize the only way you can be nominated

0:29:13.680 --> 0:29:16.840
<v Speaker 1>is if your employer nominates you. And I hate to

0:29:16.920 --> 0:29:21.400
<v Speaker 1>inform Alf that there are about seven thousand people that

0:29:21.520 --> 0:29:24.080
<v Speaker 1>this company will promote for a Marconi Award before me,

0:29:24.960 --> 0:29:27.840
<v Speaker 1>and probably as it should be. So my advice to

0:29:27.840 --> 0:29:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Alvin if you want to help, There's all kinds of awards, right,

0:29:31.200 --> 0:29:33.880
<v Speaker 1>There's all kinds of awards out there, so just find someone.

0:29:34.040 --> 0:29:37.000
<v Speaker 1>There's like pot, there's podcasting awards. There's all kinds of

0:29:37.040 --> 0:29:40.400
<v Speaker 1>other awards, so you know, hey, why not if you're

0:29:40.400 --> 0:29:41.920
<v Speaker 1>into that kind of thing. I don't even know some

0:29:42.040 --> 0:29:42.640
<v Speaker 1>of these awards.

0:29:43.080 --> 0:29:44.520
<v Speaker 5>Hey, I have a fun fact for you.

0:29:44.960 --> 0:29:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Fun fact. We have a fun fact.

0:29:47.200 --> 0:29:50.760
<v Speaker 5>Oh hi, o, wow, please make a little production piece

0:29:50.840 --> 0:29:54.680
<v Speaker 5>for this, like something about fun facts are so fun.

0:29:55.280 --> 0:29:58.240
<v Speaker 5>Fun fact and then we'll come on with a fun fact.

0:29:58.880 --> 0:30:02.360
<v Speaker 5>Alf will love this. The day that we opened the

0:30:02.560 --> 0:30:07.040
<v Speaker 5>brand new Fox Sports Radio studios, whose birthday was it?

0:30:08.280 --> 0:30:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Whose birthday was it?

0:30:10.640 --> 0:30:13.560
<v Speaker 5>Birthday was a long time ago, but it was his birthday.

0:30:15.320 --> 0:30:17.680
<v Speaker 5>I do not know Marconi?

0:30:18.360 --> 0:30:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Is that right?

0:30:19.520 --> 0:30:22.800
<v Speaker 5>Was Marconi's birthday the day we opened up the brand

0:30:22.840 --> 0:30:23.640
<v Speaker 5>new studios.

0:30:24.000 --> 0:30:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Is that why they chose that day?

0:30:25.560 --> 0:30:28.200
<v Speaker 5>Is that the no I talked to Scott Shapiro. He

0:30:28.280 --> 0:30:33.280
<v Speaker 5>had no idea, but he said, now that you told

0:30:33.320 --> 0:30:35.280
<v Speaker 5>me that, I'm gonna lie and tell people that.

0:30:36.000 --> 0:30:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Of course it's the way. Yeah, who knew? Amazing?

0:30:39.920 --> 0:30:43.440
<v Speaker 5>So the Marconi Studios, sorry, that's what we should call them.

0:30:43.800 --> 0:30:45.280
<v Speaker 5>They are the Marconi studios.

0:30:45.440 --> 0:30:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the Marconi uh Premiere or whatever you know. Put

0:30:50.280 --> 0:30:52.240
<v Speaker 1>some spots or tire round.

0:30:52.240 --> 0:30:54.440
<v Speaker 5>Oh and we got to put Uncle Frank in there too.

0:30:54.760 --> 0:30:56.880
<v Speaker 1>That's right, the great And then that was the talk

0:30:57.000 --> 0:31:01.040
<v Speaker 1>and the Great Frank Pollock, the big cod p May

0:31:01.120 --> 0:31:03.760
<v Speaker 1>he rest in peace. The Great Frank Pollack are old engineering.

0:31:04.320 --> 0:31:06.720
<v Speaker 1>They're supposed to do something for him and all that.

0:31:07.040 --> 0:31:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Uh so we have, but we can either do a

0:31:10.240 --> 0:31:15.479
<v Speaker 1>little get scientifical or pop culture. Pop goes the culture

0:31:15.480 --> 0:31:17.480
<v Speaker 1>which one you want to a couple of stories? Just

0:31:17.520 --> 0:31:18.080
<v Speaker 1>a couple of stories.

0:31:18.120 --> 0:31:20.840
<v Speaker 5>What do you think that you Let's steal a couple

0:31:20.880 --> 0:31:21.880
<v Speaker 5>of scientificals.

0:31:22.160 --> 0:31:27.200
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's get scientifical. A tribute to the old

0:31:27.320 --> 0:31:30.040
<v Speaker 1>pen and Teller show Bullshit, where we give you science

0:31:30.080 --> 0:31:32.680
<v Speaker 1>stories and then we try to figure out whether we

0:31:32.800 --> 0:31:36.120
<v Speaker 1>believe it or not, or whether or not it is bullshit.

0:31:37.320 --> 0:31:42.080
<v Speaker 1>So here's a a fun story from the science community.

0:31:42.160 --> 0:31:50.000
<v Speaker 1>A new study has linked French fries to depression. Yeah,

0:31:50.200 --> 0:31:51.560
<v Speaker 1>are you a French fry guy? Dan?

0:31:51.600 --> 0:31:52.080
<v Speaker 5>I like French?

0:31:52.160 --> 0:31:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Who doesn't like French fries? I don't know anybody that

0:31:53.920 --> 0:31:54.520
<v Speaker 1>doesn't like friends.

0:31:54.600 --> 0:31:57.080
<v Speaker 5>I like them, but I skipped them all the time.

0:31:57.480 --> 0:32:01.280
<v Speaker 5>If there's a combo where fries arecluded, I get something else.

0:32:01.720 --> 0:32:04.160
<v Speaker 5>Why Because I feel like a fat whale if I

0:32:04.240 --> 0:32:05.440
<v Speaker 5>eat a whole bunch of fries.

0:32:06.960 --> 0:32:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, I like to feel like a whale because I

0:32:08.640 --> 0:32:10.240
<v Speaker 1>only eat once a day. So I'm like, what ever,

0:32:10.320 --> 0:32:13.240
<v Speaker 1>might as well enjoy yourself. But according to a study

0:32:13.400 --> 0:32:19.040
<v Speaker 1>from the Environmental Sciences that was published in the journal PNAS,

0:32:19.120 --> 0:32:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what that is. It's all word slid

0:32:22.080 --> 0:32:26.480
<v Speaker 1>to me. They found that frequent fried food consumption, especially

0:32:26.600 --> 0:32:31.600
<v Speaker 1>fried potatoes aka French front is strongly associated with twelve

0:32:31.880 --> 0:32:36.920
<v Speaker 1>percent to seven percent higher risk of anxiety and depression.

0:32:38.560 --> 0:32:43.480
<v Speaker 1>So the new research suggesting that French fries are linked

0:32:44.280 --> 0:32:50.440
<v Speaker 1>to depression, I'm going bullshit on this. I'm going I'm

0:32:50.480 --> 0:32:54.160
<v Speaker 1>going bullshit on this. So that that's my hot take

0:32:54.240 --> 0:32:55.760
<v Speaker 1>on that. I don't buy it because.

0:32:55.520 --> 0:32:57.320
<v Speaker 5>People are scientists on the radio.

0:32:57.960 --> 0:33:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean there's people that are health health nuts

0:33:01.120 --> 0:33:04.479
<v Speaker 1>that don't eat French fies, that are depressed and all that. Well,

0:33:04.520 --> 0:33:09.400
<v Speaker 1>here's another fun study from the scientifical world. Men like

0:33:09.640 --> 0:33:15.400
<v Speaker 1>meat because it makes them feel manly. Ah, the men

0:33:15.560 --> 0:33:19.000
<v Speaker 1>enjoy me? How about that? For a study study, participants

0:33:19.040 --> 0:33:24.239
<v Speaker 1>were surveyed on their perceived masculinity or femininity. They were

0:33:24.280 --> 0:33:28.160
<v Speaker 1>also asked about their views on meat consumption and veganism.

0:33:28.800 --> 0:33:32.520
<v Speaker 1>And those who can form most the gender roles see

0:33:32.640 --> 0:33:37.040
<v Speaker 1>eating meat as natural. There you go, and so they

0:33:37.360 --> 0:33:43.520
<v Speaker 1>put that together and they we're all Neanderthals if you

0:33:43.600 --> 0:33:46.680
<v Speaker 1>go far enough back. That's the research from a university

0:33:46.800 --> 0:33:56.080
<v Speaker 1>in Australia. They surveyed five and forty four men and women. Nah,

0:33:56.200 --> 0:33:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't know if I believe that one

0:33:59.520 --> 0:34:03.680
<v Speaker 1>eat zero for two on that. Oh, here's a one

0:34:03.720 --> 0:34:07.120
<v Speaker 1>from the space world. Are aliens trying to contact the

0:34:07.240 --> 0:34:14.440
<v Speaker 1>mother Earth? Astronomers have detected twenty five new fast radio

0:34:14.719 --> 0:34:16.920
<v Speaker 1>bursts from outer space.

0:34:17.840 --> 0:34:19.480
<v Speaker 5>Do do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do

0:34:19.600 --> 0:34:23.640
<v Speaker 5>Do Do Do Do do doo. Yeah, they're coming. Yeah.

0:34:23.680 --> 0:34:26.360
<v Speaker 1>There's also another story in one of the science journals

0:34:26.440 --> 0:34:30.680
<v Speaker 1>that says the scientists say alien contact with Earth could

0:34:30.800 --> 0:34:34.000
<v Speaker 1>come as soon as the year twenty twenty nine. How

0:34:34.080 --> 0:34:35.960
<v Speaker 1>the what do they picked us out of? It took

0:34:36.040 --> 0:34:39.680
<v Speaker 1>us twenty twenty nine? Here's a hot take, Danny, We've

0:34:39.719 --> 0:34:41.520
<v Speaker 1>already had contact with the aliens.

0:34:41.640 --> 0:34:42.400
<v Speaker 2>You know how I know that.

0:34:42.760 --> 0:34:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I have an iPhone. That's how I know that that's

0:34:45.040 --> 0:34:50.239
<v Speaker 1>alien technology. Put that in your pipe and smoky. What

0:34:50.400 --> 0:34:52.800
<v Speaker 1>else do we have here? Let's see me money, mo

0:34:55.120 --> 0:35:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I think that's that's about That's about an I don't

0:35:00.600 --> 0:35:02.839
<v Speaker 1>have too much time here, and so, out of an

0:35:02.880 --> 0:35:05.520
<v Speaker 1>abundance of caution.

0:35:05.840 --> 0:35:07.759
<v Speaker 5>This portion of coast to coast was brought to you

0:35:07.880 --> 0:35:08.640
<v Speaker 5>by hem Relief.

0:35:11.480 --> 0:35:15.160

<v Speaker 5>some good luck on the lake today is the Derby.

<v Speaker 5>This is once a year where my dad rents that

0:35:31.719 --> 0:35:34.040
<v Speaker 5>boat and we go out there and we try to

0:35:34.120 --> 0:35:36.040
<v Speaker 5>catch the ten thousand dollars fish.

0:35:37.239 --> 0:35:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's right, I remember this story. Yeah, all right, well,

0:35:39.560 --> 0:35:42.200
<v Speaker 1>good luck man. I hope my birthday is memorable and

0:35:42.239 --> 0:35:45.239
<v Speaker 1>you get the ten grand. Now, after taxes, that's about

0:35:45.280 --> 0:35:47.400
<v Speaker 1>one thousand dollars and you can divvy that up with.

0:35:47.480 --> 0:35:50.680
<v Speaker 5>Everybody, right, so yeah in California.

0:35:50.520 --> 0:35:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, exactly. In fact, they might actually charge you if

0:35:53.000 --> 0:35:54.960
<v Speaker 1>you win, they might actually charge you an extra five

0:35:55.040 --> 0:35:58.000
<v Speaker 1>thousand in taxes. But as far as what I'm doing,

0:35:58.040 --> 0:35:59.320
<v Speaker 1>it's just a regular birthday.

0:35:59.360 --> 0:36:00.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, what are you doing for your b day?

0:36:01.000 --> 0:36:03.759

<v Speaker 1>because I gotta work tomorrow night. I gotta do the

0:36:12.840 --> 0:36:15.879
<v Speaker 1>podcast tomorrow. So we got that going on. But thanks

<v Speaker 1>to everyone for the birthday messages. I appreciate that. And

0:36:19.600 --> 0:36:21.720
<v Speaker 1>some people say, what should we get you for your birthdays?

0:36:21.760 --> 0:36:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't need it. But if you want to send something,

0:36:25.040 --> 0:36:26.879
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't I wouldn't reject it, right, Danny.

0:36:27.520 --> 0:36:29.080
