Speaker 1: Kaboom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a
Speaker 1: week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of
Speaker 1: the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse, the Clearinghouse of hot takes,
Speaker 1: break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben
Speaker 1: Maller starts right now in the air everywhere a mail
Speaker 1: bag kind of a day on a Sunday, Sunday Sunday,
Speaker 1: another brand new edition of The Fifth Hour with Ben
Speaker 1: Maller and Danny g Ready to get her hands dirty,
Speaker 1: hands a little bit dirty. Yeah. When you posted this
Speaker 1: on Facebook asking for questions, one of the first comments was,
Speaker 1: it's that time of the week already. Guys are complaining
Speaker 1: because I put it up on Monday. Yeah, because I
Speaker 1: usually do it on Tuesday, and so somehow I had
Speaker 1: messed up the bio rhythms of Facebook, and guys were
Speaker 1: busting my balls. You know, how dare you? How dare you?
Speaker 1: Give me a heart? Sometimes I forget, sometimes I forget.
Speaker 1: But it's good. We have a good balance. Go right now.
Speaker 1: We got a few questions on Facebook, a lot of
Speaker 1: email questions, which is always exciting, so good job by you,
Speaker 1: thank you exactly so without further dude, Danny, and thanks
Speaker 1: to Ohio all since that in months ago, we played
Speaker 1: every week at about this time. And if you would
Speaker 1: like to contribute questions, you do not have to wait
Speaker 1: for me to post something on Facebook on Monday or
Speaker 1: Tuesday on the show Facebook page, Ben mallor show. You
Speaker 1: can contribute content anytime you want, real fifth Hour at
Speaker 1: gmail dot com. That's f I F T H if
Speaker 1: you don't know how to spell real and you don't
Speaker 1: know how to spell our real fifth Hour at gmail
Speaker 1: dot com. And right to the many many questions we go,
Speaker 1: and let's see who should we start with? Mail? Let's
Speaker 1: start with Mike from Fullerton. He says, Hey, Ben and
Speaker 1: Danny J. I'd like to hear your takes. Aren't an
Speaker 1: argument between my friends Petro's and Matt Matt money Smith
Speaker 1: And Mike says, when everyone has their trash cans in
Speaker 1: the street for pick up day and your dog poop
Speaker 1: swall on a walk, Mike asked, is it okay to
Speaker 1: throw a bag of your dog's poop in a stranger's
Speaker 1: trash can? If a garbage truck hasn't picked it up yet.
Speaker 1: That's the question. So I'll go first. I don't even
Speaker 1: know why this is a question. This is a no brainer.
Speaker 1: This is being to me a polite neighbor that so
Speaker 1: often we all see dogshit and nobody picks it up,
Speaker 1: and they just pretend like it didn't happen. And if
Speaker 1: you're gonna do that and be kind enough to a
Speaker 1: pick up the poopy, it was great to see pooh
Speaker 1: and then be put it in a trash can, mozelto
Speaker 1: good job by you. Well, why is this even a thing?
Speaker 1: Then explain to me why this is even an argument.
Speaker 1: There is no argument. Once you put the trash on
Speaker 1: the street, you're done with the trash. It's now you're
Speaker 1: just awaiting. It's like being on death row and you're
Speaker 1: you're you're, you're making the walk down to the electric
Speaker 1: chair when the trash is out on the street. That's
Speaker 1: the same set up. Yeah, this would only be an
Speaker 1: argument if you put the ship in a bag and
Speaker 1: left it on their doorstep for them to to and
Speaker 1: for them to deliver it to a trash can. But
Speaker 1: as long as it's sealed and tied off in a bag,
Speaker 1: you're you seeing it as a public trash can to
Speaker 1: serve the public for the better good of humanity. We
Speaker 1: all have neighbors like this is a guy that was
Speaker 1: kind of down the street for me, that's like this
Speaker 1: who is overly protective of their house, Like anybody kind
Speaker 1: of like walks on the on the grass. That guy
Speaker 1: that goes out there is like, what are you doing? Man?
Speaker 1: You got mean, what are you doing? So for that guy,
Speaker 1: this would be an invasion of privacy. But no, anybody's
Speaker 1: willing to pick up, doge it and put it away.
Speaker 1: That's a great thing, all right. Who is next? As
Speaker 1: we go further and further into the mail bag, it's
Speaker 1: Eric and Binghamton, New York. A fine town. I've actually
Speaker 1: driven through Binghamton years ago, he says, Ben, and Danny
Speaker 1: ge how are you doing? My name is Eric, He
Speaker 1: announces where he lives. Again. I have written into the
Speaker 1: show before, but it had been a while. Ben, I
Speaker 1: have been listening since the website days. Wow, that's a
Speaker 1: long time, the Ben mallary dot com days, back in
Speaker 1: the old days. Damn. This guy must be in his seventies.
Speaker 1: Calm down, I just love both of the shows. Can
Speaker 1: you please, Can you guys please tell me more about
Speaker 1: the knock room where all the stuff is monitored. I
Speaker 1: have this picture in my head and I must know more. Also,
Speaker 1: why the beef between Tammy, Helen and Stu. If we
Speaker 1: are going to hear them go back and forth constantly,
Speaker 1: it would be good to know. Why. Keep up the
Speaker 1: great work. That's from Eric again in Binghamton, New York.
Speaker 1: So Eric, the question about the knock, how would you
Speaker 1: describe it? I would describe it like if you see
Speaker 1: a replay room, like the NFL replay room or the
Speaker 1: NBA replay room. There's a lot of TVs and a
Speaker 1: lot of buttons in that room. Would that be accurate?
Speaker 1: Danny the knock? Yeah, I am googling right now. Denzel
Speaker 1: Washington in submarine movie Crimson Tide. Remember that movie? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I do recall that movie. Oh man, if you haven't
Speaker 1: seen Crimson Tide, put that on your list a classic.
Speaker 1: There's that one control room that everyone originates out of,
Speaker 1: and there's lots of those big clear boards that have
Speaker 1: the uh what is that called? In military terms? Planning
Speaker 1: many years in the Marines, so I have the answer,
Speaker 1: unless I don't. I don't have any idea, But that's
Speaker 1: what the Knock room looks like. It's got a map
Speaker 1: of the world on one of those big glass boards
Speaker 1: like that, and they literally are tracking every affiliate around
Speaker 1: the world. Wow. Yeah, it is fascinating in mind boggling
Speaker 1: when you think about all of the content that those
Speaker 1: guys in the Knock are are overseeing. Because all of
Speaker 1: the Premier network shows, which you know back in the day,
Speaker 1: Rush Limba now, Clay Travis, your your old Pial there
Speaker 1: and show, and George Nori and so many of the
Speaker 1: other hosts that we don't even talk about that that
Speaker 1: two shows for a premiere and their shows are Synica,
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey, another one, Ryan Seacrest. His top was a
Speaker 1: Top forty show that he got Elvis Duran. Elvis Suran's
Speaker 1: a big star in radio. So there's a bunch of
Speaker 1: these guys and they all have people in charge twenty
Speaker 1: four hours a day, and if anything goes wrong, the
Speaker 1: Knock has gotta fix it. They gotta get right on
Speaker 1: it right away, right or else programming will be all
Speaker 1: messed up and people will lose their jobs. You're very upset.
Speaker 1: And as far as Tammy, Helen and Stu if I
Speaker 1: remember correctly, this started with Helen and Stu attacking Gagon,
Speaker 1: who used to beend the podcast, and then Tammy came
Speaker 1: to defend Gagon, and then that led to Helen and
Speaker 1: Stu then turning their missile or missiles at Tammy, and
Speaker 1: then Tammy responded, and it's just been going back and forth,
Speaker 1: although we haven't gotten any email from Helen and Stewart
Speaker 1: Tamil the last couple of weeks. So have things calmed
Speaker 1: down now? Danny and and Eric and Bingaton's dying to know.
Speaker 1: But it's not an every week thing. It just pops
Speaker 1: up like once a month or so. Another submarine reference
Speaker 1: the sonar sometimes the sub blaze low trying to be invisible,
Speaker 1: but then they pop out and start shooting their missiles again. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna heat up. It's it's it's that time
Speaker 1: of the year, right, and the next couple of months
Speaker 1: can get pretty nasty and hot, and at that point,
Speaker 1: all bets are off, right, all bets are off. It's
Speaker 1: gonna gonna happen and everyone will be screaming at the podcast.
Speaker 1: Shut the funk up, Okay, shut the funk up. Give
Speaker 1: me the codes, man, I need the codes right now,
Speaker 1: exactly all right, let's see Pierre and Springfield, says Ben
Speaker 1: and Danny g well, this is an important question. What
Speaker 1: he's about this? He says, have you have either of
Speaker 1: you ever farted extremely loud in a situation where you
Speaker 1: forgot your surroundings, possibly the first time in front of
Speaker 1: a lady friend or her parents, maybe in front of
Speaker 1: a superior at work. He says, that's from Pierre in Springfield. So, uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's happened. It's a natural part of of being I'll
Speaker 1: go first year, Danny, Uh, the story. I think I
Speaker 1: told this on the podcast, but years ago, married a
Speaker 1: decent amount of time now, but I'm the guy at
Speaker 1: the hotel in Vegas. I'll go down to the lobby
Speaker 1: to go to the bathroom. That's I'm that guy. So
Speaker 1: I I try to hold the tuting to as little
Speaker 1: as possible around other people. Most people do that. It's polite,
Speaker 1: good decorum. Yeah, So what I'll do is I'll i'll go,
Speaker 1: I'll excuse myself and I'll go outside. So one time
Speaker 1: was at the old house and I was walking and saying,
Speaker 1: I was getting something out of the car. I'm moving
Speaker 1: something around outside and I was completely convinced that there
Speaker 1: was no one within hearing distance around, right, And I
Speaker 1: had eaten some spicy food, uh earlier that day or
Speaker 1: the night on the night before, whatever it might have been.
Speaker 1: I forget when I'd eating it, but I eating some
Speaker 1: spice of food. So I'm I'm reaching down to get
Speaker 1: something near the car and and uh yeah, and then
Speaker 1: I hear this laugh, and uh, it's my my wife.
Speaker 1: It's she. She'd walked outside. I didn't even hear her,
Speaker 1: like a stealth bomber, and she heard the whole thing.
Speaker 1: She thought it was very amusing. She thought it was
Speaker 1: very very funny. And it was just so loud, Danny.
Speaker 1: It was piercing sound, dude, dude, but it was very loud,
Speaker 1: and it was yeah, yeah, exactly. What What about you, Danny?
Speaker 1: Any flatulence issues that you can recall? This is a
Speaker 1: good question. I haven't thought about this since it happened
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. I was at a local grocery
Speaker 1: store here, and you know, I don't get gas often,
Speaker 1: thank god, but I'm not sure why that morning, I
Speaker 1: had just some air trapped in inside. And when I
Speaker 1: got outside of the grocery store, you know, it's the morning.
Speaker 1: There weren't a lot of shoppers. There definitely weren't a
Speaker 1: lot of cars in the parking lot. The gas came out,
Speaker 1: you know, I had just put my card away. I'm
Speaker 1: opening my car door, and I look up as I'm
Speaker 1: getting into my car, and there's an older gentleman who
Speaker 1: had been approaching the cart rack from the other side.
Speaker 1: I didn't see him, and he just had this crazy
Speaker 1: look on his face because he was there to bear
Speaker 1: witness to what had just exploded in the parking lot. Uh.
Speaker 1: It's embarrassing because when you think you're alone and then
Speaker 1: you wind up not being alone. You just wanna you know,
Speaker 1: what's the old commercial, You wanna get away Southwest Carolina?
Speaker 1: Southwest Yeah, get away? Yeah, thank you, Chicago awkward moments.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah. Well then sometimes you have a competitive advantage though,
Speaker 1: if you're in an elevator and there's a lot of
Speaker 1: people in there and there's kind of some noise in
Speaker 1: the elevator and if you let one rip, then nobody
Speaker 1: knows who did it, so you can It does cut
Speaker 1: both ways, for sure. I got mail, Yeah, I got mail. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Cut yeah. Kevin in Kansas, alright, Son, he says dear
Speaker 1: been in. Danny g is a high school teacher. I know,
Speaker 1: my profession likes to think we're getting students prepared for
Speaker 1: real life. On a Mallard scale of one to ten,
Speaker 1: how prepared were you for real life after you graduated?
Speaker 1: Where should we be focused these days? So it's been
Speaker 1: a few years, Kevin since I got out of high school.
Speaker 1: But on the Malar scale, it prepared for real life,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I would say I was like a
Speaker 1: solid seven. I would say, uh. And I started working.
Speaker 1: I went to school for a radio. I started working
Speaker 1: in radio as nineteen. So I got out of high
Speaker 1: school at eighteen and I was going to school and
Speaker 1: working in radio. Uh. So I had a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff going on. But but to me, high school you
Speaker 1: gotta learn all the basics. I think they need to
Speaker 1: spend more time, Danny on just the adult bullshit that
Speaker 1: you have to do that you don't really realize as much.
Speaker 1: I didn't as much stuff as you have to do.
Speaker 1: And I'm I'm lucky I have. I'm married. My wife
Speaker 1: takes care a lot of the bullshit for me. But
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of little things you have
Speaker 1: to take care of that's uh that I don't know
Speaker 1: that they necessarily go over all that stuff. I would
Speaker 1: focus on the taxes, the kitchen stuff, cleaning, like just
Speaker 1: the basically a lot of people. I feel like they
Speaker 1: everyone should know that. But I think you need more,
Speaker 1: a little more push in that direction. What about you, David? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And I actually you know moonlight in the education field,
Speaker 1: and I would say that I would push for instead
Speaker 1: of math class in high school, a credit score class
Speaker 1: that would be way more helpful because I remember struggling
Speaker 1: to get through algebra two and I didn't need algebra
Speaker 1: two to live my life, my adult life. What I needed, though,
Speaker 1: was some help understanding how to get a good credit
Speaker 1: score and then maintain it. I mean, we've heard this
Speaker 1: for years that it would be better to have some
Speaker 1: real life type classes in schools, and some schools have this.
Speaker 1: Some schools are evolving towards that it would be nice
Speaker 1: to see it as a country free though, where we
Speaker 1: start looking at education in junior high, middle school, high
Speaker 1: school and thinking, Okay, what's really gonna help our kids
Speaker 1: dominate when they get out of school. Luckily for me, Ben,
Speaker 1: I was in commercial radio part time when I was sixteen,
Speaker 1: years old, So I was already in the ship. I
Speaker 1: was around grown adults smoking packs of cigarettes, banging groupies,
Speaker 1: doing lines of cocaine next to the printer at the
Speaker 1: radio station. So I saw a lot of crap at
Speaker 1: an early age. I was ready for it when I
Speaker 1: got out of high school. But the term helicopter parents
Speaker 1: who because of how the world is nowadays, they really
Speaker 1: just coddle their kids, and some of those kids have
Speaker 1: problems once they get to grade. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: I mean I think that's the thing, Like, you want
Speaker 1: to teach kids in high school, how do you bounce?
Speaker 1: How do you save money even if you don't have
Speaker 1: a lot of mean, even if it's only a couple
Speaker 1: of bucks a month, and over time, that'll add up.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, I have an emergency fund, squirrel
Speaker 1: something away just in case, as you talked about Danny,
Speaker 1: the vacation fund that you have with your TENDERNI like
Speaker 1: little things like that. Again, a lot of people say, well,
Speaker 1: that's just common sense. People should know that, But you're
Speaker 1: in high school. You don't really have common sense, do you? Usually?
Speaker 1: Very rarely do you have common There should also be
Speaker 1: etiquette classes. Yeah, you can't do that though, Danny in
Speaker 1: in this climate, no, how dare you tell someone how
Speaker 1: to act? What's wrong with you? Get all upset? Elementary
Speaker 1: schools should definitely have etiquette classes because half of what
Speaker 1: we do is teach kids social skills when they're in
Speaker 1: kindergarten through fifth grade. So if there was more etiquette
Speaker 1: training during those prime years, that would help all of
Speaker 1: us in this world. Trust me. Yeah, alright, good question
Speaker 1: from Kevin in Kansas. Thank you, sir. You've got me.
Speaker 1: Fred in Spring Texas, freds are regular emailer, and I
Speaker 1: thank you for that, Fred our man Fred. He says, Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: what foreign languages did you study in high school or college?
Speaker 1: And how did you do on reaching a high level
Speaker 1: of proficiency? So? Not very well? I speak Spanguish, I
Speaker 1: wish I knew Spanish, well I don't. I know a
Speaker 1: few words and whatnot, and I've I've learned in my
Speaker 1: radio days, not really in high school or even college.
Speaker 1: I learned a few words in different languages, so I
Speaker 1: know a little bit of this and a little bit
Speaker 1: of that, but nothing, nothing passable. And when I was
Speaker 1: a kid night a bar mitzvah, so I learned Hebrew.
Speaker 1: Don't ask me about that now because I I know
Speaker 1: a few Like I know a few words of that
Speaker 1: I remember I've retained, but not much. What about you,
Speaker 1: dany Oh love one year because my high school did
Speaker 1: require one year of a foreign language, and my mom
Speaker 1: she convinced me to go with French because that is
Speaker 1: what she did in high school. She actually was good
Speaker 1: at it. Though I passed. I gotta I think I
Speaker 1: gotta be in that class, so it was all right,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't something where I got out of the
Speaker 1: year of that class and was like, oh man, I
Speaker 1: want to continue how to learn this language, especially when
Speaker 1: I found out how most French people hate Americans guts.
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't think I'm gonna be spending
Speaker 1: that much time in that country. Yeah. Well, my buddy,
Speaker 1: as he asked me for advice, so I actually doesn't
Speaker 1: ask me advice, but like, uhna gonna take French and
Speaker 1: I'm like, no Spanish. Then that's the especially where we
Speaker 1: are doing the show from in southern California, it's as
Speaker 1: much the native tongue as English these days. So if
Speaker 1: you have you have it to me, I have an advantage,
Speaker 1: or at least a level playing field. You don't you
Speaker 1: know what the adults thoughts on that were when we
Speaker 1: were kids, though I had heard this couple times. Oh
Speaker 1: you'll learn that language at work. Oh is that right? Oh?
Speaker 1: What am I gonna be a landscaper? Oh? Shots fired
Speaker 1: out there. Producer's note. Landscapers are amazing people. Shouts out
Speaker 1: to Steve Snow and Bob Jordan's who gave me summer work.
Speaker 1: All right, what is next year? Any meny miny moll,
Speaker 1: come back. It's side from now. Call Alan and akran Ohio,
Speaker 1: the birthplace of Steph Curry and Lebron James says. At
Speaker 1: the new FSR studios, will you be able to see
Speaker 1: the crew when you are in the studio? Will everyone
Speaker 1: still be in separate rooms? Well, that is a great question. Alan.
Speaker 1: We don't have an answer because number one, we haven't
Speaker 1: seen the design for the new studio. Number two we
Speaker 1: I think everything got delayed. Danny said, I don't know
Speaker 1: that we will know for a while. We were supposed
Speaker 1: to move to the new studios in a couple of months,
Speaker 1: but that's not happen. So I don't know more than that.
Speaker 1: Do you know any more than that? I don't think
Speaker 1: we're allowed to share. That's insider information, cannot share with
Speaker 1: the class, right, Yeah, they're not divulging a lot of
Speaker 1: information about the big move and probably because they know
Speaker 1: will blab about it on podcasts like this, so keeping
Speaker 1: us somewhat in the dark. So that's fine because I
Speaker 1: don't necessarily want to move right now. Well, it's a
Speaker 1: longer drive for you. Take your time. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: know that it's a longer drive for me. I think
Speaker 1: it's probably about the same. I just have to go
Speaker 1: a different way, different route for you. It probably shaves
Speaker 1: off like ten or twelve minutes for you. Yeah maybe. Yeah,
Speaker 1: is further up the one on one freeway? Yeah, that true,
Speaker 1: it's I I'd have to go right instead of left.
Speaker 1: Basically when it curves around near the you take it
Speaker 1: past the Hollywood Bowl there and then you get to
Speaker 1: the split and then you have to go Yeah, not
Speaker 1: a huge difference for you, but I'll save you just
Speaker 1: a little bit of time. Yeah, all right. Kevin from
Speaker 1: rockf Illinoiss, have you guys ever been a victim of
Speaker 1: a robbery. I was robbed this past weekend at a
Speaker 1: gas station. It was very stressful and I was an
Speaker 1: absolute panic, Kevin says, I will probably have PTSD from
Speaker 1: it the rest of my life. I called the police
Speaker 1: and they asked me if I knew who did it.
Speaker 1: I said, I absolutely do know who did it. And
Speaker 1: Kevin says he informed the police it was pump six
Speaker 1: at the mobile gas station that that roughed. Okay, now,
Speaker 1: Kevin doesn't mean that's a That is a cheesy joke. Kevin. Uh,
Speaker 1: these gas prices suck. I don't know how you guys
Speaker 1: are making it out there and California. I've just decided
Speaker 1: to eat only once every other day, and I the
Speaker 1: money I would spend on food I am now spending
Speaker 1: on gas, so I'm losing weight. So really, what I'm
Speaker 1: doing is I'm saving calories and just spending it on gas.
Speaker 1: And I'm hoping to pay Phil Mickelson's salary and all
Speaker 1: those other guys that took the Saudi Oil one. So
Speaker 1: I'm helping them out, taking care of him little bit.
Speaker 1: Why not? Yeah, Uh, anyway, we're having the same issues
Speaker 1: righting price of gases insane to them. You know, you
Speaker 1: go into a casino and you know you're gonna lose
Speaker 1: money and you're not gonna come out ahead on that,
Speaker 1: but maybe you'll have a good time. The gas station
Speaker 1: is the same thing, because you go in there, you
Speaker 1: know you're you're getting bent over the table, and uh,
Speaker 1: it's gonna cost you a fortune, but at least you
Speaker 1: need the gas. So maybe you'll drive somewhere and have
Speaker 1: a good time. Same concept, right, Danny. I think it's
Speaker 1: the same concept. I'm going. I'm going with that in
Speaker 1: my head. It's the same concept that beat down and
Speaker 1: then I gave you last night. Yeah, I got mail, yea,
Speaker 1: I got mail, yea. Back in the mail, back we go.
Speaker 1: John in Colorado and northern Colorado, not southern, not eastern,
Speaker 1: not western, northern Colorado. He says, have you ever spilled
Speaker 1: a beverage on the studio mixing board? I will not tell.
Speaker 1: John says, well, I have a brief story now I
Speaker 1: have not done it. But there was a famous story
Speaker 1: in Fox Sports radio history. And I don't know if
Speaker 1: you were part of this, Danny, if you were at
Speaker 1: the company or not, but somebody did spill something that
Speaker 1: got into the equipment and it was a big mess.
Speaker 1: Like it costs a lot of money to repair, and
Speaker 1: they it was a pain in the asked for the
Speaker 1: engineering department. So what management did is they went to
Speaker 1: Walmart and they bought everyone a sippy cup and they
Speaker 1: passed out. Everyone got their own sippy cup at at
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. That was the solution to the problem.
Speaker 1: They were large sippy cups, but they were sippy cups
Speaker 1: that would not supposedly would not spill. And so that
Speaker 1: I remember that. And I don't know that they ever
Speaker 1: caught the person that did it. I think they know
Speaker 1: who did it, but they were like, we weren't really
Speaker 1: sure because nobody, nobody said it. They just tried to
Speaker 1: contupt the thing. And then it was kind of like
Speaker 1: the drugs in the bathroom. Well, yes we know who
Speaker 1: did it, but we're not saying yes. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: tell everyone at the company here, you should not be
Speaker 1: doing drugs in the bathroom. No drugs in the bathroom,
Speaker 1: even though we know none of you can afford the
Speaker 1: drugs at all. Anyway, Uh yeah, we all looked around.
Speaker 1: We're like, who's rich enough to do drugs around here? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we will not name the guilty, but yes, there was
Speaker 1: somebody that was shall we say it was a long
Speaker 1: time ago. Yeah, it was a long time going. This
Speaker 1: person was Yeah, I guess would be the term there right,
Speaker 1: that we were doing there. I don't know. The email
Speaker 1: didn't go into detail. Oh, I don't know either. I'm
Speaker 1: just specting. I'm just I'm facilitating the conversation, is what
Speaker 1: I'm doing. Facilitating the conversation. Did you have any spills
Speaker 1: to any back in the day running the award before
Speaker 1: you became a big time producer. No, you know. I
Speaker 1: did spill a soda. I dropped a I knocked a
Speaker 1: soda onto the floor one time. Uh, And I quickly
Speaker 1: was able to get it up, so not that much
Speaker 1: came out of the can. What did come out of
Speaker 1: the can, though, I was like, oh my god, there's
Speaker 1: gonna be a memo about this if I don't clean
Speaker 1: it up. So I went back and forth to the
Speaker 1: bathroom probably eight, nine, ten times, with wet paper towels,
Speaker 1: dry paper towels, stepping on it with my foot, cleaning
Speaker 1: it up, putting the fan towards it to make it dry,
Speaker 1: and by the end of my if, thank god, you
Speaker 1: couldn't tell that there had been an Exxon oil spill.
Speaker 1: That's funny. I did years ago at Dodger Stadium in
Speaker 1: the press dining room there. This is so long ago,
Speaker 1: there was a team called the Montreal Expos that were playing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: some must have been a minor league team, and it
Speaker 1: was I still remember it because I used to maybe
Speaker 1: fat days a long time ago, and I loved orange soda,
Speaker 1: and they had orange soda at the time in the
Speaker 1: press box. I would drink a lot of orange soda.
Speaker 1: And somehow, you know, I was not the most agile
Speaker 1: at that time, and somehow I had and walked through
Speaker 1: the dining room and I had stumbled on my feet
Speaker 1: and I spilled the orange soda and part of it
Speaker 1: got on the side of the computer of a reporter
Speaker 1: from Quebec, the French part of Quebec. The reason I
Speaker 1: know it was a reporter from the French part of Quebec,
Speaker 1: you asked, The reason I know is because this person
Speaker 1: started screaming profanity, blank my blank and blank you in French,
Speaker 1: very upset, and uh. I still I still remember the
Speaker 1: the sheer look of disgust and and anger, and uh
Speaker 1: it was I do do recall that back in the Yeah,
Speaker 1: think of grape juice. My mom would serve it sometimes
Speaker 1: at the dinner table. But then She would scream and
Speaker 1: go bananas whenever any of us would spill a little
Speaker 1: bit of the grape juice on any of our clothes.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because it's hard. It's hard, right, I can't
Speaker 1: get that out of your clothes. I used to think
Speaker 1: to myself, why are you giving us this? Then? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like my mom would say, don't don't get the
Speaker 1: soap in your eyes you go blind. Well, why are
Speaker 1: you allowing me to you? Is the soap that could
Speaker 1: make me blind? I don't. Let's make a lot of
Speaker 1: sense my move. I don't understand anyway, You've got mail.
Speaker 1: This one's from Neil from the Real Miami's has been
Speaker 1: in Danny g Big Week on Massage monologue about the
Speaker 1: adult in the room, happy baby quarterback to Shaun Watson
Speaker 1: Cleveland clowns for sure. Wow. Anyway, it got me thinking
Speaker 1: how Danny G got his queen the special massage, putting
Speaker 1: her in a surprising situation. Turning it around, have you
Speaker 1: been or Danny G been putting in an awkward what
Speaker 1: the f? Situation? By your queens? Says? If not any
Speaker 1: awkward elevator stories at the Fox Sports Radio studios, you
Speaker 1: have to go back to now for no good reason,
Speaker 1: he says, so, uh, massage situations, right, any awkward situations.
Speaker 1: I'm checked. No, not not too bad. My my wife
Speaker 1: knows all my quirkiness and things that I approve of
Speaker 1: and what I think is ridiculous and all that at
Speaker 1: this point, so nothing really comes to mind. You know,
Speaker 1: I wish I had a great can I can I
Speaker 1: tell my story about being in an elevator with Rodney
Speaker 1: Dangerfield again, I could tell that he's a great story.
Speaker 1: Most people don't even know who he is these days, right,
Speaker 1: And that's how fleeting fame is exactly no respect, no respect.
Speaker 1: And this guy was the big stars. It has been
Speaker 1: gone for a few years. It's like that's it. People
Speaker 1: move on. Whatever is next. Then just google them kids.
Speaker 1: He had some great movies. To just google it. Just google.
Speaker 1: It's what you gotta do. We'll keep it going on
Speaker 1: the mail band, come back, pay attention. It's time for
Speaker 1: mail call only time for a few more Adrian in
Speaker 1: the Mile High City rights in, He says, Ben and
Speaker 1: Danny g you had me laughing my ass off in
Speaker 1: the water meter reading vehicle this morning. Well that's good.
Speaker 1: Cleaning up the words and the Deshaun Watson story, the
Speaker 1: Boa Constrictor and Tartar Sauce. We're clever cover ups. Thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you for that. But the Sean had I give
Speaker 1: de Sean credit. Now I like goofing on him. But
Speaker 1: this story has caused me to be very creative with language, Danny,
Speaker 1: to come up with new ways to describe male genitalia
Speaker 1: and also what might come out of male genitalia when
Speaker 1: making Whoopee. So I've I've been able to create and
Speaker 1: I have fun with it. And now you know, I
Speaker 1: used Anna Konda a lot. We used the sausage raise
Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, you know what. I had to get
Speaker 1: a creative to Ben because after you did that, and
Speaker 1: you did a great job dancing around the words and
Speaker 1: everything that you had to clean up. But then and
Speaker 1: I got to the description part of typing what you
Speaker 1: did each hour for the podcast, I had to figure
Speaker 1: out how to put it into words. I said that
Speaker 1: you were talking about a fileto fish topping. Oh, well,
Speaker 1: that's that is a good one too, the fileto fish topping,
Speaker 1: car sauce and mayonnaise. You can go with the mayonnaise
Speaker 1: there the whip cream on, just a little whip cream
Speaker 1: on top. Uh you can go with that as well. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's pretty pretty funny and uh, because we went through
Speaker 1: I think over the last year, this has been going
Speaker 1: on for over a year. We've gone through the the
Speaker 1: brought the Italian Sausage, the Polish Sauceage hot Dog, and
Speaker 1: the Theresa which is all part of the Sausage Race
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee, all part of the Sausage family. I like
Speaker 1: the extended winner. Yes, Adrian's email continues. He says, also
Speaker 1: FSR management gets to wear the shame bell and the
Speaker 1: dunce cap. In my book, they also get the entire
Speaker 1: blame pie. We could be getting higher quality, more thought
Speaker 1: out Mallard monologues instead my guy moneyball out waste precious
Speaker 1: show prep time, making me long drive from the north
Speaker 1: Woods all the way to the Mothership. Did they give
Speaker 1: a reason why they wanted you back in studio, Ben,
Speaker 1: It seems like the show was going just fine the
Speaker 1: way it was, it says a shame on on management. Well, No,
Speaker 1: management was very nice to me and I have nothing
Speaker 1: against the management. They as often happen as in these situations, Danny,
Speaker 1: they told me it was somebody else's somebody else's decision.
Speaker 1: It was not their decision. Somebody else made the decision,
Speaker 1: and it was a corporate I don't know what happened,
Speaker 1: but it's all right. I think it was a wellness
Speaker 1: check on Frostburg, who's a producer. The producer I hadn't
Speaker 1: seen in like three years. I don't know what you're
Speaker 1: talking about. My man. Moving on, Adrian and the mile
Speaker 1: I the City also says, my family and I were
Speaker 1: at Chili's for dinner recently, and I was surprised to
Speaker 1: see they have robot hosts there now. When we entered,
Speaker 1: the human host told us to follow the robot host
Speaker 1: to our table. How about that, he said? He sent
Speaker 1: a photo here and I'm old so I remember the
Speaker 1: Jetsons and it kind of has Jetsons like vibe. It's
Speaker 1: like Rosie from the Jetsons is now serving you cheeseburgers
Speaker 1: at Chili's. Wow. Remember that story I told on the
Speaker 1: podcast about that restaurant in Long Beach that had no servers? Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: it was some of these robots. Yeah, you guys had
Speaker 1: to go to the bar to eat right from right,
Speaker 1: Adrian says. Lastly, we are getting ready to set sail
Speaker 1: on a family cruise at the beginning of July. It's
Speaker 1: a long time, Yeah, family cruise. Uh, probably not leaving
Speaker 1: from Colorado, I'm imagine. Uh it has It's been a
Speaker 1: long time since my wife and I have been on
Speaker 1: a cruise and haven't been on onceince we had kids.
Speaker 1: Any advice, have either of you been on a cruise? Uh?
Speaker 1: That's from agent says, let's go abs, bring back the
Speaker 1: cup to Denver. So I have not been on a cruise.
Speaker 1: I have been told by people that I would not
Speaker 1: be a good cruise ship person because I'm pretty tall
Speaker 1: and the rooms are designed for little people. Are not
Speaker 1: little people, but regular sized people. My my grandmother in
Speaker 1: law was a big fan of the cruises, and the
Speaker 1: grandfather not so much. Luigi, so they used to go
Speaker 1: all the time. My wife says she thinks it's a
Speaker 1: good idea, but she thinks, I guess you got my size.
Speaker 1: Your problem. I'd have to get a higher, more expensive room,
Speaker 1: which I you know, and plus it's probably something you
Speaker 1: do when you get a little older. I think I
Speaker 1: don't know my old enough. Maybe I am old enough.
Speaker 1: What about you, Danny? Ever been on a cruise? I
Speaker 1: have not. My tinder RONI has. She's been on several,
Speaker 1: including a Disney World one. It sounds very gluttonous the
Speaker 1: way she explains it to me. They feed you around
Speaker 1: the clock, which, yeah, it sounds okay, but it also
Speaker 1: sounds like you're coming off the boat about fifteen pounds heavier. Uh.
Speaker 1: I don't need that in my life right now. I
Speaker 1: would try it, but I'm the only phobia I have
Speaker 1: is claustrophobia, and so yeah, I would need a balcony room.
Speaker 1: I would need a bigger sized room. There was no way.
Speaker 1: And when I remember when some of the boats were
Speaker 1: locked down during the beginning of COVID, Yeah, I would
Speaker 1: have climbed the wall man there. I don't know how
Speaker 1: those people got locked in their chambers for for weeks
Speaker 1: and weeks and weeks. I would have went crazy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because they didn't know what to do. Because people in
Speaker 1: the COVID on the cruise ships supposedly a ton and
Speaker 1: they didn't know how to handle it, and they kept Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's still on Netflix, but there
Speaker 1: was a documentary about that ship that was stuck at
Speaker 1: the beginning of COVID, and it just watching that gave
Speaker 1: me the Willie's Uh, there's yeah. So that's the only
Speaker 1: thing in the back of my mind, and I'm like
Speaker 1: thinking about that part of it. All the other stuff
Speaker 1: seems fun, but that part of it I just can't
Speaker 1: get past. Yeah, the all inclusive accommodations seem wonderful. But
Speaker 1: if I was younger and I was just going for
Speaker 1: it and I just kept eating everything, which I did grazing, boy,
Speaker 1: that would have been great. Yea. At this point, I don't.
Speaker 1: I fast a lot, so I don't know. I feel
Speaker 1: guilty when I eat a ton of stuff. So I mean,
Speaker 1: there's other things to do. They have comedy shows, magic shows,
Speaker 1: water slides, big pools and games and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: So food is not the only thing, but it is
Speaker 1: a big part of it. Well, there was a guy
Speaker 1: in the early days of Fox Sports Radio named Sarge.
Speaker 1: He was a comedian. They called him Serge and he
Speaker 1: still is a comedian by the way, and he at
Speaker 1: the time he had performed on cruise ships like that
Speaker 1: was I I remember him telling stories about that. He
Speaker 1: actually did a show with Jason Smith in the early
Speaker 1: days a Fox Sports Radio very ice Man started and
Speaker 1: and he was telling stories about his life on the
Speaker 1: cruise ships and what that was like. And I just
Speaker 1: looked him up his website as I am Serge dot com.
Speaker 1: We can book him, we can book him. Maybe maybe
Speaker 1: we're on the podcast. Who knows. Yeah, you have some
Speaker 1: good stories. Yeah, alright, last one, we'll get out here.
Speaker 1: On a sporting question, Blind Scott says, why doesn't Larry
Speaker 1: Bird coming in any Celtic games? What do you think?
Speaker 1: That's actually a great question. I was watching some of
Speaker 1: the Celtic games and and I saw Bill Walton and
Speaker 1: Paul Pierce and I'm sick of Paul Pears standing up
Speaker 1: waving his towel around. Stop it. Paul Pierce is so
Speaker 1: happy he does not work for ESPN anymore. It is
Speaker 1: so so excited, like he just does. He don't care.
Speaker 1: He's like hanging out with strippers, porn stars, bunch of
Speaker 1: hookers and endorsing gambling companies. He doesn't give a crap.
Speaker 1: He's just going for it, right, He loving it. If
Speaker 1: you're cheering on the team, then that's cool. But I
Speaker 1: think it was Game three where it was it was
Speaker 1: almost like he thought the crowd was cheering for him. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was like, you didn't just hit that three pointer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: come that a little bit. Anyway, we gotta get out here,
Speaker 1: any of promote Danny anything at all. Anything got going
