Speaker 1: Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, I think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the Ghetto Cutter the same as the
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House of
Speaker 1: Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour

Speaker 1: of ways you can reach out to us, and we
Speaker 1: do thank you for doing that. So where do we begin?
Speaker 1: We do have mail Kansas Rites and Kevin a loyal
Speaker 1: minion of the Fifth Hour podcast and it's many different
Speaker 1: variations over the over the years. Kevin says, Dear Ben
Speaker 1: and Danny G. When you were both in high school,
Speaker 1: do you wish you had all the technology students have
Speaker 1: today or are there throwback elements you wish we'd still
Speaker 1: use today? Signed Kevin there in Kansas. Well, not not
Speaker 1: to get romantic, but you know, I think I'm a
Speaker 1: product of how I grew up. I'm a product of
Speaker 1: having to cheat the old fashioned way and not having Wikipedia,
Speaker 1: having to go get cliff notes or find other nefarious
Speaker 1: means to find the answers to the test. And so yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know how the kids do it today. It's great,
Speaker 1: you're in you're in classrooms, Danny, You're you're around kids
Speaker 1: and whatnot. But no, I like that. I like the
Speaker 1: way I grew up, and you know, looking back, it's
Speaker 1: it's crazy. It's like the Stone Age, and you know,
Speaker 1: twenty years from now it will also today will be
Speaker 1: like the Stone Age. It's crazy how that works now,
Speaker 1: you're right. Pe Teachers even tell the kids today bring
Speaker 1: your chrome books and your headphones. Oh I know the
Speaker 1: chrome phone, kid. Yeah. The kids live and die by
Speaker 1: their chromebooks. Very interesting compared to what we were doing now.
Speaker 1: We had computer labs obviously, yes, yes, yes, remember it
Speaker 1: was like once a week or twice a week you
Speaker 1: got to go into the computer lab. It was like
Speaker 1: a big deal. And they had these archaic games. They
Speaker 1: they're educational games that they would allow you to play,
Speaker 1: and looking back, they were like the worst games imaginable.
Speaker 1: Video games were starting to get a little bit better
Speaker 1: when you and I were in high school. When we
Speaker 1: were little kids, Oh my god, I mean talk about
Speaker 1: stick figure graphics and basic computer programs. So high high
Speaker 1: school it was c D decks that came out in
Speaker 1: our radio station were nice. They had a nice mix
Speaker 1: board inside the high school radio station. So the equipment
Speaker 1: was improving, but the human interaction was very much analog.
Speaker 1: Instead of being on social media and getting requests and dedications,
Speaker 1: those things were handed to me on paper. You had
Speaker 1: to hand that personally to the DJ. Well, remember we
Speaker 1: used to do the facts of the day, you know,
Speaker 1: and that was like whoever would send faxes in? It
Speaker 1: was like that was a big deal. And yeah, a
Speaker 1: lot of the contesting on radio stations in the nineties
Speaker 1: was done through fax machines. Even in high school, we
Speaker 1: had did you have type? I learned to type on typewriter? No,
Speaker 1: I did not. I guess you're you're you're a little
Speaker 1: younger than me. But we had we had typewriter class
Speaker 1: to learn how to type. And they did have they
Speaker 1: had shop where you actually used saws. Do they still
Speaker 1: do that? That's a great question, because I did have
Speaker 1: wood shop, and I had R. O. P. Electronics and
Speaker 1: I had R. O P. Wood Shop my last year
Speaker 1: of high school, which was great. I mean, we used
Speaker 1: the lathe and we made baseball bats and stuff. And
Speaker 1: your teacher would show you like he cut off his
Speaker 1: pinky or something like that, and you know, you don't
Speaker 1: be careful, And I wonder, I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: think they do that anymore. I bet they don't. I
Speaker 1: bet they got rid of that because if I mean,
Speaker 1: we had all the famous kickback stories too, where you'd
Speaker 1: be using the table saw that when in crooked it
Speaker 1: would kick back. And yeah, I always warned you because
Speaker 1: that piece of wood would go right through your stomach. Now,
Speaker 1: just to answer Kevin further, I think I would be
Speaker 1: a much better student today because I was a I
Speaker 1: was a master at you know, having a little bit
Speaker 1: of an advantage from time to time. There's so many
Speaker 1: there's like ten thousand different ways to push the rules,
Speaker 1: push the boundaries, right gamesmanship with with the technology today
Speaker 1: and yeah, I mean cheese, But I'm I like the
Speaker 1: way I grew up the you know, that's that was
Speaker 1: what I knew at the time, and I can only
Speaker 1: imagine what the world is gonna be like years and
Speaker 1: years from now. Fred from Spring Texas Rights and he says,
Speaker 1: you always say that you are at the bottom of
Speaker 1: the totem pole at Fox, Ben because you do overnights.
Speaker 1: Is this really true? He says, your longevity at the
Speaker 1: network seems to make this claim suspect. What really is
Speaker 1: your status? Well, no, Fred, it's more of a a
Speaker 1: way that radio works. I am doing the overnight show.
Speaker 1: We are on more affiliates than Colin Cowhard, who's the
Speaker 1: star of Fox sports radio, Dan Patrick. But we're on
Speaker 1: in the middle of the night, and so there are
Speaker 1: fewer people that listen to the radio in the middle
Speaker 1: of line. And the way that advertising was there's there's
Speaker 1: really two different radio stations. Fred. The way that it
Speaker 1: works six am to six pm. That is the most
Speaker 1: important part of a radio station. That is the part
Speaker 1: of the radio station where yeah, I mean it is
Speaker 1: you're you're making your money, and that's where the big
Speaker 1: advertisers are, you know. It's that kind of thing. And
Speaker 1: like day rates, that's like paying for a hotel on
Speaker 1: a Friday or a Saturday night exactly. And and then
Speaker 1: there's radio from six pm. Yeah, like a like a
Speaker 1: hotel on a Tuesday night. Yeah, it's uh, it's a hotel.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of vacancies, a lot of vacancies. And
Speaker 1: that's just the way that radio works now. I personally
Speaker 1: think radio I'm a little biased. I think radio is
Speaker 1: better at night than it is during the day. I
Speaker 1: think it's more Radio is a very personal communication. I
Speaker 1: think when you're listening at night, you buy yourself you're lonely.
Speaker 1: To me, that's a better experience than during the day.
Speaker 1: But I'm biased obviously because I've done mostly nights and overnights. Uh,
Speaker 1: And I think you can be more of a clown.
Speaker 1: You know, you can really just goof around more at
Speaker 1: night and the bosses aren't around, and you can kind
Speaker 1: of let your hair down a little bit. Um. But
Speaker 1: but the reason Fred I say that is is basically
Speaker 1: based on the advertising. And you know, like I said,
Speaker 1: six am to six pm is one radio station and
Speaker 1: six pm to six am. And part of the reason
Speaker 1: is we're on, uh, Danny, you know, the night shows,
Speaker 1: all of the night weekend programming is is cleared because
Speaker 1: a lot of local radio stations, unfortunately, and I wish
Speaker 1: this was not the case, even though I do syndicated radio.
Speaker 1: I wish there was more local radio. But a lot
Speaker 1: of radio stations to save money just you know, they
Speaker 1: turn it on Fox Sports Radio, so we benefit from that.
Speaker 1: But you know, it's given take. It's given take. So anyway,
Speaker 1: thanks for that, Fred in Spring Texas. Now, Ozzy Momentum says, hey,
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny g I have recently made the decision
Speaker 1: to shave my head. Us relates to what we talked
Speaker 1: about yesterday. Uh. He says, it has the genetic lottery
Speaker 1: has deemed inappropriate to do so, so as a fellow
Speaker 1: follically challenged individual, How dare you, Assy Momentum, He says,
Speaker 1: I was wondering if you can provide any tips or
Speaker 1: things I should know aside from where a hat all
Speaker 1: the time. Cheers Ozzy Momentum. Well, I have really nothing
Speaker 1: to add. I mean, maybe Danny, you know something you
Speaker 1: can add here. But you guys, I just talked about
Speaker 1: this yesterday as E went. I just last week my
Speaker 1: my bride convinced me to trim my hair down to
Speaker 1: a one, which is hardly anything. I'm like on my
Speaker 1: way to baldom. Uh. But but no, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, any other tips, Dandy, that you can give
Speaker 1: somebody you My my buddy from elementary school is bald.
Speaker 1: He he has to shave his head like every morning.
Speaker 1: Though it's like a hole. It's a hole to do
Speaker 1: because you once you shave your head fully, right, I
Speaker 1: think the rules are you don't wanna, you know, just
Speaker 1: have a little stubble because it doesn't look good, right, Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: it's a whole another thing to keep up. And let's
Speaker 1: be honest, some of us have beards because we hate
Speaker 1: all that crazy maintenance, although you still have to shave
Speaker 1: around the beard. But yeah, I mean. I have a
Speaker 1: friend from middle school who posted on Facebook recently because
Speaker 1: he shaved his head and there were some comments with
Speaker 1: people making jokes and laughing. His reply was, Michael Jordan's
Speaker 1: holding a trophy. I loved it. That's good. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: would do too, man, Michael Jordan's made it one of
Speaker 1: the best hairstyles. Yeah, yeah, I know what it is.
Speaker 1: It's tease their own. I mean I don't. I didn't
Speaker 1: have a problem with my hair, but you know, it's
Speaker 1: one of those things. It's like you get older and
Speaker 1: as Aussi Momentum said, the genetic lottery, you have no
Speaker 1: control over that, right, that's uh, that's your DNA, and
Speaker 1: what's your parents and your grandparents and everyone before you
Speaker 1: what they gave you and you're you're supposed to deal
Speaker 1: with the cards you're dealt, right, Play, play with the
Speaker 1: cards you're dealt. I think that's how that goes, all right?
Speaker 1: Who is next year? It's the mail bag. These are
Speaker 1: actual questions by actual listeners to the show. I got mail, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got mail, YEA very exciting Pierre from Springfield, mass
Speaker 1: Home of the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame where you
Speaker 1: can see Muffett McGraw and a bunch of other like
Speaker 1: Russian coaches and players you've never heard of. Anyway, Pierre
Speaker 1: says Ben, and Danny g I says Ben, which happens first?
Speaker 1: This is for me. He says, you eat a pickle
Speaker 1: or you drink a cup of coffee? Yeah, so I
Speaker 1: I would say, that's a great question, Pierre. I would
Speaker 1: go out and claim. I mean, I think the claim
Speaker 1: would be the pickle would probably be more likely than
Speaker 1: a cup of coffee, because I think the car f
Speaker 1: thing is cooler to talk about. Like, nobody cares that
Speaker 1: I haven't eaten a pickle, Like I've smelled pickles, but
Speaker 1: like I could, I could, and I go eat a
Speaker 1: pstrawamy sandwich. They give you pickles, you know, you go
Speaker 1: to Canters in l A or Langer's Day, they give
Speaker 1: you a pickle. So I could eat a pickle. I
Speaker 1: could take a bite of a pickle. I don't like
Speaker 1: the texture that I don't like the way it feels,
Speaker 1: the sliminess of the thing that I don't like that.
Speaker 1: I would be more inclined to do that than have
Speaker 1: a cup of coffee. They says for Dan G he
Speaker 1: says important question from Pierre. He says, thumbs up or
Speaker 1: thumbs down on pickles. What is your pickle position, Danny G. See,
Speaker 1: I like pickles, but I don't like those sweet ones.
Speaker 1: And you don't really know what I'm talking about, Banner. No,
Speaker 1: And I do not know what you're talking about. No,
Speaker 1: I've no pickle knowledge. Yeah, they have these bread and
Speaker 1: butter pickles. There's the classic pickle. Um the pickle they
Speaker 1: served with lunch stand which is is good dope. And and
Speaker 1: and if it's a crunchy pickle and it snaps, that's
Speaker 1: a good pickle to have with lunch. Supposed to snap
Speaker 1: like a hot dog. You know, a good hot dog
Speaker 1: snaps a little bit. Well, I think in this case
Speaker 1: it would snap more like a carrot stick. Those pickles
Speaker 1: are delicious when they're thinly sliced and placed on a
Speaker 1: hamburger like a wendy'sburger, that's also delicious. So there's different
Speaker 1: layers to the pickle. Now. Pierre famously sent a massive
Speaker 1: box of pickle related products to Fox Sports Trader because
Speaker 1: because Eddie hates pickles and I'm anti pickle, he sent
Speaker 1: like pickle, potato chips, pickle beverage, like everything. Pierre is
Speaker 1: an amazing fan of the pickle. In fact, I think
Speaker 1: Pierre is behind He's trying to set me up to
Speaker 1: throw out the first pitch at a minor league game
Speaker 1: in Portland, Oregon, the Portland's Pickles UH minor league team.
Speaker 1: But and isn't that kind of an odd thing to
Speaker 1: be obsessed with? It kind of is and that classic
Speaker 1: I was thinking about. That's the dial and then the
Speaker 1: sweet pickles are those bread and butter. Don't get confused
Speaker 1: because sometimes in the store, in that aisle, you'll just
Speaker 1: grab some pickles for your lunch sandwiches, and then you
Speaker 1: put them in and or you taste one before you
Speaker 1: make your sandwich and it's sweet, and you're like, what
Speaker 1: the hell did I buy? And then you look and
Speaker 1: it says bread and butter on on it, and you're like,
Speaker 1: damn it. I wanted the dial totally foreign to me
Speaker 1: that I had no idea there were this many types
Speaker 1: of pickles. I had no concept of this. This is
Speaker 1: blowing me away. The only pickles I've really consistently seen
Speaker 1: are when I go to Deli's and I get a
Speaker 1: pastrami sandwich or a roast whatever it might be, porn beef,
Speaker 1: and they put they put the pickle out there, and
Speaker 1: I never eat them. I smell them occasionally, but I
Speaker 1: don't eat them. That's the only pickle I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: I've never seen a different pickle. Have you ever been
Speaker 1: to a county fair and you see a woe and
Speaker 1: holding one of those huge fried pickles. I have seen that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because everything's deep fried. And what kind is that pickle?
Speaker 1: That's the bad kind? I'm not sure what's under that breading.
Speaker 1: Because I would never eat a fried pickle. I would.
Speaker 1: I would eat a fried pickle because it's fried. Man,
Speaker 1: Come on, everything fried tastes good. There's it's Homer Simpson
Speaker 1: taught me that if it's fried, it's it's good. No, No,
Speaker 1: I don't know about a fried pickle. And there's also
Speaker 1: an old myth about women not supposed to be eating
Speaker 1: a lot of pickles. Have you ever heard that? Uh?
Speaker 1: Why maybe I have, but refresh my memory. Why should
Speaker 1: they not eat a lot of pickles? The supposedly, pickles
Speaker 1: do not mix well with a woman's chemical balance cycle,
Speaker 1: if you will something to that effect. And I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's true, but that's an old wives tale.
Speaker 1: I've never never if you see a woman eating tons
Speaker 1: of pickles, I remember hearing that story as a it
Speaker 1: and I'd be like, why is she eating so many pickles? Wow? Alright,
Speaker 1: who knew you? You live and learn? All right? Who's
Speaker 1: next year? Alright? Come back? It's sign the mail call. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're doing the mail call. This next one from Barry
Speaker 1: in Nashville. Now, Danny, you can't see this, but he
Speaker 1: has sent a box of pop tarts and they claim
Speaker 1: to be ranch dressing flavor. He says, Yo, yo, Ma,
Speaker 1: Benny and Danny, g. This is not a real product,
Speaker 1: but I know how much you love ranch dressing, so
Speaker 1: I had to send this to you. Looks yummy unless
Speaker 1: it doesn't. How many boxes should we sent? Do you
Speaker 1: want a ranch dressing pop tart? If you can actually
Speaker 1: find one? Would you? Would you eat that? Danny? Would
Speaker 1: you partake in the devil's blood in the pop tart format?
Speaker 1: That does not sound tasty to me. I love ranch
Speaker 1: on a good salad. I love dipping pizza and ranch.
Speaker 1: I love ranch for chicken nuggets. Boo oh, man, nugget ranch.
Speaker 1: There's nothing like it, Ben is blasphemy. You go barbecue
Speaker 1: ranch honey mustard, barbecue ranch honey mustard, and you rotate
Speaker 1: with those dips. You stay away or else. That's it.
Speaker 1: You're really testing the boundaries. You're wearing a Lakers shirt
Speaker 1: and you got I mean, then you love the ranch dressing.
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, man, what are you doing over here?
Speaker 1: You know? I mean, come on, don't be that guy.
Speaker 1: You're not that guy. You're not that guy. Trust me,
Speaker 1: you're not that guy. Man. Hashtag winning? Yeah, okay, how's
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook working? Actually are your Clippers doing? They're far
Speaker 1: about the same record as the Lakers have. Anybody, Oh,
Speaker 1: that's a great accomplishment. Yeah, I supposedly. I mean, I
Speaker 1: love I love your boy. Brian Finley. By the way,
Speaker 1: when I was working Network last weekend, Brian was like,
Speaker 1: as a Clippers fan, I love seeing the Lakers strong going,
Speaker 1: and he was going on this whole diet tribe about
Speaker 1: how bad the Lakers were. Yeah. I turned my microphone
Speaker 1: on and I'm like, hey, Brian, uh, look at the
Speaker 1: west right now. And he looked for a second. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: same record, buddy, Well but that's more embarrassing for the
Speaker 1: Lakers than is the Clippers. Kai hasn't played a game.
Speaker 1: You guys are superior according to you, though, well they
Speaker 1: do own l A. The Clippers run l A clearly
Speaker 1: and literally. All you Laker historians are upset about the Clippers.
Speaker 1: I heard the Lakers were so old that they would
Speaker 1: be lucky to have ten wins right now. So they're
Speaker 1: doing okay, just keep having Wrestle Westbrook shoot. I think
Speaker 1: you need more of him shooting from the outside, especially
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter of a close game. Anyway, what's
Speaker 1: still wrong with your all? Right? What's that? What is
Speaker 1: still wrong with the Clippers? Nothing? That's we don't even
Speaker 1: play that. We don't play that anymore. We moved Roberto
Speaker 1: better play those drops still, David in Boston and uh,
Speaker 1: he didn't call the show anymore. Terry in England, right so,
Speaker 1: and he says, Benn and Damny g I hear some
Speaker 1: of the shows regular drops and catchphrases let's get into it,
Speaker 1: for example, being used by some podcast posts. He says,
Speaker 1: it's clearly obvious that they listen to you. They use
Speaker 1: the same emphasis and annunciation. He says, as a pronunciation, Uh,
Speaker 1: do you hear others using them. That's from Terry in England,
Speaker 1: and Terry, I don't. I try not to consume too
Speaker 1: much other stuff because I want to do my own thing.
Speaker 1: And I know when I listen to other people sometimes
Speaker 1: all end up kind of cherry picking things, and I
Speaker 1: I want to make this as unique as it can be.
Speaker 1: And so when I when I listened to more other
Speaker 1: you know, other shows and whatnot, I end up uh
Speaker 1: either intentionally, it's not really intentionally, it's like unintentionally, you know,
Speaker 1: here's something so, well, maybe that'll work, And then I
Speaker 1: try not to do that. But I have been told
Speaker 1: by by listeners Terry, that there are a number of
Speaker 1: people that do this that apparently like the show. I
Speaker 1: I do know from friends of mine that I've made
Speaker 1: that we were pretty popular with a lot of East
Speaker 1: Coast morning shows. That a lot of the morning guys
Speaker 1: who are getting ready prepping for their show will listen
Speaker 1: to our show, and I am I've heard that. A
Speaker 1: few hours later you'll hear something that we did repackaged.
Speaker 1: But you know, hey, that's fine. You know it's isn't
Speaker 1: that the highest form of flattery, Danny, the highest it's
Speaker 1: supposed to be. I would say the highest form of
Speaker 1: flatteries when you get paid a commission because you think
Speaker 1: your idea. Yeah, that that part, I don't like that part.
Speaker 1: I do not like that. They make a lot more
Speaker 1: money doing a morning drive show than I do doing
Speaker 1: an overnight show and they're doing the material that we
Speaker 1: we did. That that bothers me a little bit. I
Speaker 1: want to spend you know what I want to when
Speaker 1: I hear that, I want to sing the Spider Pig songs.
Speaker 1: What I want to do. Pek does whatever spider Peek
Speaker 1: does any thing from a web. We can't. He's a pig. Look,
Speaker 1: he is. Any reason to play that, Danny, I love it.
Speaker 1: I can't get enough of It makes everything better. You
Speaker 1: can't help but not smile when you hear Homer Simpson
Speaker 1: doing the Spider Pig speaking of Mallard catchphrases and drops
Speaker 1: something you can't hear ben because it's done during my
Speaker 1: post production. Yeah, here and there. I've been able to
Speaker 1: sprinkle in some classic Mallard drops, like old school, like
Speaker 1: all right, that's good. I think that's turned on. I
Speaker 1: like it, all right, Who's next? This is actual male
Speaker 1: from actual listeners mail Dave listener. Dave writes and he says, hey,
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny, g do you ever notice the NFL cheerleaders?
Speaker 1: If you do, is there a favorite group of NFL cheerleaders?
Speaker 1: Do you think cheerleaders will go away with the me
Speaker 1: too movement? Or will something else kill the practice? Seems
Speaker 1: really weird to me when they become visible on the
Speaker 1: TV broadcast, which is so rare now. That is from
Speaker 1: Dave in parts unknown. So as far as the whole
Speaker 1: me too movement, I think what they've done, rather than
Speaker 1: get rid of cheerleaders is they've just added dudes. That
Speaker 1: number of teams have added men. There are male cheers
Speaker 1: the Rams, several other teams. There's other teams, beams. Yes,
Speaker 1: there are other teams that have male cheerleaders. The Rams
Speaker 1: are not the only one, which is uh yeah, NBA
Speaker 1: teams I was watching, not watching the Lakers and the
Speaker 1: Sacramento Kings, and the Sacramento gave like male male cheerleaders
Speaker 1: and some Kings out there. God, I gotta I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you, man, I don't know, Dann. When I was
Speaker 1: at so Far for the Raider Rams preseason game, U,
Speaker 1: Mike Daroni and I we had the great I texted
Speaker 1: you a picture of it. We had the greatest time
Speaker 1: watching the ram dancers, just ram it because the couple
Speaker 1: of guys just looked out of place and some of
Speaker 1: the stuff they were doing was just embarrassing. I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't get it. Uh. I tuned
Speaker 1: away from it, and then she was pointing it out
Speaker 1: more and more so for her it was entertaining, but
Speaker 1: like not in a good way. It was entertaining to
Speaker 1: her because she thought it was embarrassing for them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've not well actually been to ram names. I guess
Speaker 1: I just was eating free food at that time. I
Speaker 1: didn't really it sounds about right. Yeah, that's probably what
Speaker 1: I was up to. But I don't know a favorite
Speaker 1: group of NFL cheerause I haven't really done a scouting report.
Speaker 1: The cheer that I know. The Cowboys are the most famous.
Speaker 1: The Raider Rats are pretty famous all but there's a
Speaker 1: number two. They don't even have them in the NFL
Speaker 1: right now. Everyone has cheerleaders. So and I will say this,
Speaker 1: you know, And and hey, the beauty is skin deep.
Speaker 1: It matters more on the inside than it does on
Speaker 1: the outside. Blah blah, blah, but you have to put
Speaker 1: that qualified. I really do um with all due respect.
Speaker 1: A lot of the dancers, and I say dancers because
Speaker 1: they have to pass the dance phase of the tryouts,
Speaker 1: and so you do not get the hottest women because
Speaker 1: some of them have dancers bodies or they're just straight dancers,
Speaker 1: so they're not really beauty queens. A lot of them
Speaker 1: are dancers. Yeah, that's true. In fact, that's one of
Speaker 1: the flaws with the Laker girls is they're more concerned
Speaker 1: about the dancing and the clippers. I usually had hotter
Speaker 1: cheerleaders than the Lakers. They can't dance, but they're better looking.
Speaker 1: Uh you know, they don't dance as well, but they're
Speaker 1: they're you know, easier on the eyes for what most
Speaker 1: people would say. But the Lakers, it's a whole Yeah.
Speaker 1: They have like you know, make up your mind you
Speaker 1: want to be a womanizer or do you want a
Speaker 1: great dance number? Yeah, it's very confusing. It's like there,
Speaker 1: but they have like Broadway level dancers, you know that
Speaker 1: they come out here and they make no money. Those
Speaker 1: cheerleaders they make total ship money. Pay them some more money, please,
Speaker 1: And I think that has started a little bit after
Speaker 1: what happened with the Redskins and some of the other
Speaker 1: NFL cheerleading squads where the you know, all those stories
Speaker 1: came out about how underpaid and womanized some of them
Speaker 1: had been. They deserve to get paid properly. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: they need the front office to say yes right there
Speaker 1: to my money right there. But I think cheerleaders will
Speaker 1: survived because they've added men. As I said, but I
Speaker 1: would you know the way it was going, Danny, with
Speaker 1: everything going crazy and all the local rate and all that.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be shocked if you know that that one,
Speaker 1: that one away. Then there's another list that came out
Speaker 1: of words that we shouldn't say, like grandfather. You're not
Speaker 1: supposed to say grandfather name. It's so stupid. Um, just
Speaker 1: leave it alone, all right? Next up here, who do
Speaker 1: we have here? We have actual mail from actual listeners
Speaker 1: to the show. I got mail, yea, I got mail yea.
Speaker 1: Jennifer in Richmond, Virginia. Our friend Jennifer's is hi, Ben
Speaker 1: and Danny. Question for you both in the kitchen, have
Speaker 1: you ever struggled with a box of plastic wrap or
Speaker 1: foil as you're trying to tear off a piece, and
Speaker 1: it's it's just not unrolling the way it should, and
Speaker 1: everything gets all caught up and the whole thing becomes
Speaker 1: a frustrated, cussworthy jumble. Jennifer says, Uh, this happens to
Speaker 1: me a lot. Guys. You may already be smart on this,
Speaker 1: but I just found out that there's a thing for that.
Speaker 1: The box has built tabs to simply press in on
Speaker 1: both sides of the role, and waila, it holds the
Speaker 1: damn thing in place. Amazing. Yeah, I've had a lot
Speaker 1: of issues with aluminum foil and the plastic wrap over
Speaker 1: the years, and I don't feel like a grown now.
Speaker 1: I feel like a child when I'm using that, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't. I feel like I'm it's just a little off.
Speaker 1: Everything's a little wonky, you know what I'm saying. I
Speaker 1: gotta look for that. I'm gonna look for that Jennifer
Speaker 1: picture here, So next time I use the alum foil
Speaker 1: or the plastic wrap, I'm gonna look for those little tabs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and shouts out to my girl for solving the aluminum
Speaker 1: foil problem, because in her drawer where she has that stuff,
Speaker 1: there is foil that they sell now that come in
Speaker 1: individual squares. Yeah, so go that route for the foil. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that plastic wrap. That's a good tip because I hate
Speaker 1: using that crap for that reason. It's very frustrating. My
Speaker 1: answer to that is just stay out of the kitchen,
Speaker 1: just avoid it altogether. Jennifer has a second question. She said,
Speaker 1: this is for me, Ben, you would be an excellent
Speaker 1: character on Curb. Why. Thank you? Of course, Curb your enthusiasm.
Speaker 1: Your brother in law needs to get you on set. Yeah,
Speaker 1: look it up. Yeah, she says, if a spot was
Speaker 1: offered to you by Larry David himself, would you do it?
Speaker 1: Of course? Are you kidding me? I love that show.
Speaker 1: I think that's going to be happening any time soon.
Speaker 1: But I would love to be an extra, be in
Speaker 1: the background, you know what. I'd also like Dan, I've
Speaker 1: said this for years. I would love thee know, the
Speaker 1: scenes and movies where they have like the clock radio
Speaker 1: to kind of set the time and the date and
Speaker 1: all that. I would love for my voice the show
Speaker 1: to be on there, you know, the twenty seven minutes
Speaker 1: past the hour. It's the you know, it's the what
Speaker 1: is it the sixteenth day, seventeenth day of January or
Speaker 1: whatever and do that whole thing. Um, when I was
Speaker 1: in Boston, when I was doing for Free I their
Speaker 1: morning show which is no longer on there, Dennis and Callahan,
Speaker 1: they got to do that in a couple of movies
Speaker 1: at least one. How cool is that would be awesome? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's really cool. I mean that's a good point too,
Speaker 1: because when we were kids, we would grow up seeing
Speaker 1: l A fixtures on our TV screens like news guys, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: sports guys to our sports anchors would be on movies
Speaker 1: and we'd be like, hey, that's our sports guy. Remember
Speaker 1: there was an anchor Jerry Dumpy. Yes, he was on
Speaker 1: a bunch of movies. And he actually is the model
Speaker 1: for Kent Brockman, the news guy on The Simpsons. They
Speaker 1: modeled that, the writers and the Simpsons model that after
Speaker 1: an old l A sports caster. Remember his cash phrase
Speaker 1: was from the desert of the sea to all of
Speaker 1: southern California. That's right, Yeah, that was his his famous
Speaker 1: line back in the day. Let's see who is next year?
Speaker 1: Come back judging it's signed from now on? Call all right.
Speaker 1: Valls fan Jimmy from Fayetteville, Tennessee says, for both you guys,
Speaker 1: Ben and Danny g did you buy your first car
Speaker 1: or was it given to you by your parents? And
Speaker 1: what kind was it? Ben, I'm glad you're okay. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you. We get asked this question a lot. So
Speaker 1: my first car was a handy down. It was my
Speaker 1: grandfather's car. So when he unfortunately checked out and that
Speaker 1: was it lights out. I got the car. It was
Speaker 1: a Valari, a brown Valari, and it had really comfortable seats,
Speaker 1: and it had the smell of my grandfather. And so
Speaker 1: I kind of, like, you know, I was a fan
Speaker 1: of the grandfather, and so you know how cars kind
Speaker 1: of pick up the smell after time, and and so
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it wasn't. It wasn't. It was like
Speaker 1: his His cologne that he wore smelled like I don't
Speaker 1: mean it's body odor. It smelled like his cologne. And
Speaker 1: I bet you if I drove a Valari, now I
Speaker 1: think what a piece of ship, you know, what an
Speaker 1: absolute clunker. But that first car, it doesn't to me.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what you get. It's it's it's great,
Speaker 1: you know, because it's freedom. Right. I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's like that today with kids, but back in the
Speaker 1: old days. Man, that that feeling of driving my first
Speaker 1: car to one of my first radio stations to do
Speaker 1: a weekend shift and I didn't even have my driver's
Speaker 1: license yet. Yeah, getting yourself from point A to point B.
Speaker 1: To earn some money for that. To pay that car off,
Speaker 1: I bought a used Mitsubishi Eclipse. That was your first car.
Speaker 1: First car. The car wasn't much to look at, but
Speaker 1: I put a really nice sound system inside of it.
Speaker 1: I was bumping Doctor Dre on my way into work
Speaker 1: and that it got to the point where the sound
Speaker 1: system was worth more than the car. Good memories with
Speaker 1: that Mitsubishi. You know, I bought my first My first
Speaker 1: car was my grandfather's car. But I the infomercial. I
Speaker 1: always love infomercials, and they had this infomercial for this
Speaker 1: wax that you could put on your car and light
Speaker 1: it on fire and the car wouldn't be damaged. And
Speaker 1: I was so taken aback, but I thought this was
Speaker 1: the most amazing me. I bought the product off the infomercial.
Speaker 1: I think, you know it's like, but wait, there's more.
Speaker 1: They give you like a shammy, and they give you
Speaker 1: like an extra bottle of the crap and know that
Speaker 1: I bought it and I put it on the car
Speaker 1: and I thought it was so cool, you know, and
Speaker 1: I was maybe I'll light it on fire and I
Speaker 1: quite figure out how to do that, and h but
Speaker 1: I do do remember that, but I think that's the
Speaker 1: last thing I bought from an infomercial. I do love
Speaker 1: going to like Walmart or Target. You know, they have
Speaker 1: the as scene on TV section and I always my wife,
Speaker 1: I will go shopping and she she always loses me
Speaker 1: at that section because I'm always fascinated because I've read
Speaker 1: books about infomercials over the years, and it's just the
Speaker 1: stuff they choose to make, and you know, some of
Speaker 1: those these are really good products that actually can't help
Speaker 1: you out, but it's it's just crazy, like the mass
Speaker 1: marketing and what gets you know, why they select certain
Speaker 1: products and what they don't select. And when I worked
Speaker 1: at Westwood One back in the day, one of our
Speaker 1: on air hosts he was on TV doing an infomercial
Speaker 1: for some cheesy exercise equipment. It was kind of an
Speaker 1: embarrassing looking product, and so co workers would give him
Speaker 1: a hard time and make fun of them. He came
Speaker 1: in one week with his check and it was a
Speaker 1: check for twelve thousand, five hundred dollars and he was
Speaker 1: showing it to all of the people that were making
Speaker 1: fun of him. Yeah, They're like, okay, you win, you win.
Speaker 1: And he was getting checks like that often. Well, some
Speaker 1: of those old infomercials that they've done documentaries about the
Speaker 1: the guy on the boat, the the Asian guy on
Speaker 1: the boat with all the beautiful women in bikinis. You know,
Speaker 1: and you can live this life too, and you know
Speaker 1: it's just total bullshit, but it's it's hilarious. Cliff from Nashville,
Speaker 1: Tennessee rites and he says, Ben and Danny gy have
Speaker 1: either of you tried Nashville hot Chicken? I have not.
Speaker 1: I I like spicy, but my limit on the scale
Speaker 1: of spicy, from like one to ten is depending on
Speaker 1: how spicy it is, like a four. But that's that's
Speaker 1: about the limit. What about you, Danny? I like mild
Speaker 1: because I love the taste of things that are really spicy,
Speaker 1: but I hate I hate the after effects. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: well your your eyes start watering up and the four
Speaker 1: alarm fire in the bathroom. Yeah, when it comes out
Speaker 1: the the other song and then the other side there
Speaker 1: whoa what happened. Not a fan of that part of it.
Speaker 1: But I did have chicken while I was in Nashville
Speaker 1: visiting a couple of years ago. It was really good.
Speaker 1: Um and my friend j C. Brought me to a
Speaker 1: local spot to eat in Nashville. The corn bread besides
Speaker 1: the collared greens, delicious food there. Yeah, I think I
Speaker 1: would like the food in Nashville. I've not been to Nashville.
Speaker 1: I would like the food there. Did you see Arbies?
Speaker 1: You know these chicken the chicken Wars are still going on,
Speaker 1: so I guess Arbies this week they debuted a new
Speaker 1: chicken standwich. They claim it's so hot dandy that they
Speaker 1: give you a free milkshake to wash it downward. That's
Speaker 1: their marketing gimmick. They give you a free free milkshake.
Speaker 1: I love. I have made for the last couple of
Speaker 1: years a rip off recipe at home of the Popeye's
Speaker 1: chicken sandwich. It's great, tastes amazing, It's not actually that
Speaker 1: hard to make, and you'd be amazed how little chicken
Speaker 1: is actually in a chicken sandwich. Like I I will
Speaker 1: get like you know, you go to the grocery store
Speaker 1: and get like chicken strips I get, I get chicken strips,
Speaker 1: and I take a hammer and I pound the chicken
Speaker 1: down to make it flat. And one chicken strip, which
Speaker 1: is nothing, can be an entire chicken sandwich because you
Speaker 1: put all the breading on it and all that, and
Speaker 1: it fattens it up. And so these the the markup
Speaker 1: on the chicken sandwich. Considering how little chickens actually in
Speaker 1: the sandwich. They're making a killing on those things. No
Speaker 1: wonder we're having chicken wars. Have you or anyone we
Speaker 1: know ever eaten at a real Arby's. Oh, I know
Speaker 1: I'm beat an Arby's. You have, okay, because I don't
Speaker 1: think I've eaten out an Arby's in thirty years. I
Speaker 1: haven't eaten Warfront iring money in there. I used to
Speaker 1: live in Hollywood and there was like an original Arby's.
Speaker 1: They had the old the big Arby's sign back in
Speaker 1: my big eating days when I was single, and I
Speaker 1: just went for it, you know, it didn't fast, just
Speaker 1: take whatever, and I'd eat like three meals a day
Speaker 1: and they were giant meals. Uh. And there was I
Speaker 1: think it's on. Did you go to town on those
Speaker 1: roast beef and it's just not actually I don't know
Speaker 1: what kind of meat it is, but but the big
Speaker 1: Montana and they had a big Montana which like pund
Speaker 1: of that Arby's meat, and they had curly fries. I
Speaker 1: get the curly fries, but Armies would change their fries.
Speaker 1: But I used to eat there. I was in my
Speaker 1: rotation and it was just down the street from Tommy's
Speaker 1: in Hollywood, so I knew we're all. When I lived
Speaker 1: in Hollywood, I knew where all the fast food places were,
Speaker 1: and uh, yeah, I used to go to the Army's
Speaker 1: and that whole street is a lot different. But I
Speaker 1: think the arms is still there. I haven't. I haven't
Speaker 1: been down I think it's pretty sure it's Hollywood Boulevard,
Speaker 1: but I've not been down there a while. But they
Speaker 1: the property values have gone through the roof now. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take that as a podcast challenge. I know
Speaker 1: there's one in Thousand Oaks, I think on the boulevard there.
Speaker 1: I'm not have to try that because I have not
Speaker 1: eaten there in so many decades. I'm curious what it's
Speaker 1: like inside one of those places. Yeah, well, yeah, take photos.
Speaker 1: I don't even know where I live now in the
Speaker 1: north Woods. I don't even know where an Arby's is
Speaker 1: around here. I think they're all they're all gone. Next
Speaker 1: one from Mark, the Next Sea, last right, we've got
Speaker 1: to play. You know, there's a certain cadence to this,
Speaker 1: and we don't do what we're supposed to do. Well,
Speaker 1: that's a problem. Uh let's see, that's right. This is
Speaker 1: from Mark and Jacksonville, Florida. Says Hey, Ben, Danny G.
Speaker 1: I saw this and naturally, in honor of Doc Mike,
Speaker 1: I had to share this with you. Yes, several listeners
Speaker 1: Danny have sent me this story. It's a drink up.
Speaker 1: Anti vaxers, self proclaimed head of vaccine police says, you're
Speaker 1: in therapy well cure covid. So this has been going
Speaker 1: around and anyway, another story being sent into us saying
Speaker 1: a lady drink some sperm concoction to keep herself COVID safe. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's called pornography. I think is with that
Speaker 1: usually they call that anyway, Uh, he says, love the
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour podcast. Great move with Danny G on board
Speaker 1: as your regular guy, your sidekick there. You guys are
Speaker 1: great and I also regularly listen to the show just
Speaker 1: about every day via the podcast. I have done so
Speaker 1: for the last couple of years, especially since we no
Speaker 1: longer get Fox Sports Radio over the year in Jacksonville
Speaker 1: anymore since January. Well, don't worry, Mark, we know the
Speaker 1: way syndicated radio works. We come and we go and
Speaker 1: we come back, and so I'm sure we'll be back
Speaker 1: on in in Jacksonville. And plus we're on satellite radio
Speaker 1: there and on the I heart stream and all that.
Speaker 1: But he says, thank God for the podcast, and my
Speaker 1: days would really be empty without them. I mean it,
Speaker 1: so thank you Danny, Eddie, Roberto Coope and the Mallard Militia.
Speaker 1: He says, thank you very much. Well, thank you, Mark,
Speaker 1: appreciate you keep downloading the podcast, all right, last one, Lee,
Speaker 1: and this for you Danny Lee And Phoenix says he's
Speaker 1: the big cardinal apologist. What is the real meaning of life? Danny?
Speaker 1: He wants a podcast to answer the real meaning of life? Wow,
Speaker 1: the real meaning of life? Be authentic, give back, make
Speaker 1: God proud, and don't be a turn don't be an asshole.
Speaker 1: I think that's really little. Just be nice to people.
Speaker 1: If everyone's nice to everyone else, and I think most
Speaker 1: people are nice, you know, whether you know, forget take
Speaker 1: the politics out of it. If you know, people get
Speaker 1: so worked up with politics. Yeah, and it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: you strip that away. People are people and you can
Speaker 1: get along and just don't be rude. Yeah, don't be rude.
Speaker 1: Just leave a positive mark on this planet. You gotta
Speaker 1: think about what people would say truthfully at your funeral
Speaker 1: for a eulogy. No, not the fake stuff where they're
Speaker 1: sugarcoating how much of an asshole you really were, but
Speaker 1: like some honest opinions about you. Yeah, now that's it.

Speaker 1: they brought it down to the very last play of
Speaker 1: that game. But yeah, good luck to your rams, and
Speaker 1: I hope the mail Dancers have a top notch performance. Yeah,
