Kutbooms.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow, the Clearinghouse of
Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
(00:23):
with Ben Mahler starts.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Right now in the air eywhere the fifth Hour with me,
Ben Mahlor and Danny g Radio Happy NFL Sunday.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
This is your pre pre pre game show, right is
that we're calling us standing the pre pre pre pregame show.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
It's the pre game to the pre game.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yeah yeah, Like you get up early, listen to the
show or listen to it whenever you want, and then
watch football all day long. Now we will get to
the mailbag in a minute, which is the star of
the show. On our final fifth Hour for the month
(01:15):
of September. Here as this week we flip over to October.
This is the last NFL weekend in September, and I
should be God willing, I will be at the Chiefs
Charger game later today at SOFI stadium in La La Land,
(01:36):
and then I'll be watching all the other games on
my computer and my phone and all that fussing around
with that.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Is there any way possible that you can make both
teams lose?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Well, you would want to, that's a good question. You're
probably not going to catch the Chiefs at one and two.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
But the Chargers, Yeah, the Chargers are not exactly a
Jugger not. Yeah, they obviously they obviously have a better
coach now, but the talent level is just okay on
their team.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
And they have injuries are starting to pile up for
the Chargers. So yeah, you probably want You assume the
Chiefs are going to win the division, so you want
them to win, and then as long as the Raiders
take care of business against the Browns, then they'll get
back to five hundred. Boy, they blew such a chance
last week.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Danny, I know, I know.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
We called it though, and I was talking about how
they play down to the competition, and you mentioned, coming
off that really big win against the Ravens that they
might come out flat, and unfortunately they listen to the podcast.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
It was terrible and winnable game. Today they play the
Broncos in Denver, next week. But the Broncos are not invincible.
They're not particularly a good team with bo Nicks, I
don't think, although I like them today with the points
if you watch the TV show. But these are these
are golden opportunities, Like later on you got the two
(03:07):
games with the Chiefs. You're gonna have to play Tampa,
which is a fringe playoff team, to play the Falcons,
which is going to be a playoff contender, So you
gotta win these games.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
And yeah, I mean I knew how bad Max Crosby
was hurt when I watched him try to come off
the line.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
There was like no explosion.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
He was kind of standing around, maybe waiting for an
opening to get into the quarterback, which wasn't happening because
that O line suddenly woke up and the whole the
whole team actually behind Andy Dalton looked like a playoff
team all.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Of a sudden.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
So I was just like most Raider fans, like why
why did teams have to wake up against us?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
It happened so much in my lifetime.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Well, Carolina looked like a real It looked good.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
See those darts. This is going to be a long day.
And then Minshew came back with that fifty four yard
dime of his own and they score a touchdown even
at up seven to seven, and I was like, all right, well,
it'll be a dog fight. And the defense played down
to the level of the offense, which wasn't clicking after
that touchdown and no run game. The O line is
(04:20):
in tatters right now because of injuries, and they're trying
to work some rookies in and looks like that DJ
Glaze guy and the Powers Johnson dude are both really good,
but their rookies. The Raiders are going to have to
have a patched up O line try to get some
remnants of a run game going.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, they have no running game.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
No run game whatsoever.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
And that Luke Keetzi guy who sucked in Chicago as
an OC is now the OC of the Raiders. On
first and second down, he was just running the ball
up the middle for zero yards. It's just super frustrating.
You have those weapons on that offense and that's the
play calling.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, hello, it's not working. You might want to do
something else before I forget. I wanted to mention this yesterday.
A couple of things from yesterday. We'll get to the mailbag.
But last Sunday, I was at the Ram forty nine
er game at so Far.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Brought him some luck.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah, although I picked the forty nine ers on the
TV show, But yeah I didn't. I didn't think the
Rams had any chance. I was literally stunt. I was
there and I was like, it was forty yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
On the podcast you said you could probably leave at halftime.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, I thought again would be over. And the forty
nine ers came out. They scored early. They looked like
the same old forty nine ers marching down the field.
I think they had I think it was like fourteen
early points for the Niners, and I'm like, all right,
this is to be a blowout. And I still don't
quite understand how the Rams won that game without several
(05:51):
offensive linemen, their top two receivers, several defensive starters who
didn't play. That is a stunner of stunners based on
what should have happened and what actually happened. That's why
they play the games, Danny. I heard that somewhere along
the way, but on my way to the game, I
(06:11):
had parking in the red lot at so Far, so
it's general parking. Yeah, I followed the ways traffic. Yeah,
and you know, I'm just whatever it says. It said
red parking lot. So I followed. So I got there
very early to get there to watch the other games.
So it's it's you know, it's early in the morning,
(06:32):
several hours before the game. But there's already a few
cars there. So I get up to the gate, following
the directions, and the guy at the gates is, well,
you're in the wrong lane. I said, okay. He says,
so you're gonna have to make a U turn. You're
gonna have to go around all these cars and then
(06:53):
make a right and then go down several entrances and
then go in the other entrance. So say, okay, but
I if you move that orange cone, which is to
my right, I can go right there and then I'm
where I need to be. He said, yeah, but I'm
not allowed to do that. I said, but it's literally
(07:15):
right there. It'll take you one second. It's going to
cost me thirty minutes of my life and it'll take
you one second. And who's going to complain. We're just
not allowed to touch the cone, sir. We can't touch
the cones. Oh come on, well, I said, well, what
if I get out of the car. What if I
I'm the one doing it. I said, well, you're not
allowed to do that either. You have to stay in
your car. The cars around here, I said, well, there's
(07:35):
not many cars. It'll take one second. I promise, I'll
put the cone back. And now these guys were complete douchebags,
and so I had to get out of the parking lot.
You know, it's like they were following their superiors orders,
like the Nuremberg Defense or something like that. I just
so annoying. I say, God forbid you move, Like, what's
(08:00):
gonna happen, Danny? If they moved the cone? Is that
gonna everything's going to fall apart? A house of cards?
Is that what's going to happen?
Speaker 5 (08:07):
They're like some bouncers that we've fed to deal with
when we were younger.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Just stop it.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
I'm sure you wanted to take that guy's rapid radio
and shove it up his ass.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah, it was really annoying. Eventually I got where I
needed to go, but it did take about half an
hour of my time, and it literally would have been
less than a minute, maybe thirty seconds, and the guy
could have moved the cone. I would have gone through,
I would have been where I needed to go, and
that put me in a bad mood. Then after the
(08:39):
Ram game, I was like, well, I lost the bet,
but I was happy the Rams won because at least
they have a chance a decent season this year. Beating
the forty nine ers is a big win for them.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Please tell me you found that guy and ran over
his cone.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Well, I wanted to, but I'm leaving Sofi Stadium and
it's in the hood in Inglewood. So rategy always is
to avoid where the traffic is. So I go into
the heart of Englewood. I don't even know where I'm going.
I just go away from the traffic when I leave
Sofi State. Yeah, I'm like, I'll figure out. I'll just
(09:13):
turn on the traffic app. I'll go as far as
I can go, and then I'll.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Turn on the app and it'll take you some magical
alternative route alternate route exactly.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
So I'm doing that and I'm cruising down. I don't
even know where I am. I'm on French Shaw Boulevard
in LA and on my way driving through, I saw
a couple of things that can only see on Cretenshaw
frendshow Boulevard. The first was a black gentleman who was
(09:46):
dressed as a clown. He was panhandling. While juggling in
between green lights, he would run out hand to God, like,
what was that old Fox show with the Wayan.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Brothers, Uh, you know, oh yeah in living color?
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah. He was like, it wasn't one of the Wayan brothers,
like a clown on the show. If I remember, Maybe
I'm making that up. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
No, no, you're right.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah, it was like it was like a crappy clown costume.
The guy probably found a goodwill and he's standing there
with you know, he had the red nose on the
funny shoes and he's jruggling, and then he times it
perfectly when the signals about to change, and then he
(10:35):
takes a bow and takes his clown hat off and
asks for money.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
It was nice man. At least he's working for tips.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
No, no, I'm not ripping the guy.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
I just yeah, no, I know, I'm saying in general,
though we see panhandlers and they're not doing anything to
entertain us.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
It was I wish I had recorded it with my phone.
So then I keep going down Crenshaw, I get the
intersection of Crenshaw and Adams and about a block before that.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Oh boy, that's a great area.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Oh yeah, wonderful part of LA. So there's a homeless
encampment to my right. I'm driving down Crenshaw right right
near Adams, and hand to God, Danny, I'm not making
this up. I thought this is I mean, this is
next level. So there's a couple of tents. It's like
a small commune of homeless people. And there was a
(11:31):
ten foot regulation basketball hoop that was in the middle
of this homeless encampment that was on the side of
Crenshaw Boulevard. And there was an older dude who was
playing hoops and were shooting like he was Steph Curry.
He had pants on, his shirt off. And I have
(11:55):
so many questions about this, like where did they find it,
how did they get it there? How is that allowed?
I mean, don't people have to, you know, drive in
that part of the street. It's just it was wild.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
If you wanted to pull over and play a pickup game,
was that possible?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yeah, I could I play a game of pag or
horse or something like that. What you've been down for that,
you know?
Speaker 6 (12:16):
It was.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
It was wild. It really was next level. But eventually
I made it. Actually, you went back to the studio
and got ready for the show at the mother Ship.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
So I was there, Boy, I was there all day.
Did it turn out being a faster way out of Inglewood?
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Well, I'll never know. In my head, it was faster. Yeah,
that's really all that matters, you know, that's all that matters.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
It definitely was a more entertaining drive.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Oh yeah, I was for entertainment value. I think I'll
be doing that every time I go to Sofi Stadium.
It is much more entertaining than just going to the
four or five freeway.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
And this time, though, you'll have your gym bag ready
with your basketball.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
My basketball shoes. Just get one on one. All right,
Let's get to the mail bag. The mail bag.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
It's the bag, this mail bag, all.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Right, thank you, ohio al. These are actual questions by
actual fans of the show that have sent me an
email and Danny an email. Real fifth Hour at gmail
dot com. All letters, no numbers. It's real fifth Hour
at gmail dot com. My first one is jak jk
is from somewhere in South Carolina. He says, ben I
(13:45):
heard we heard a new voice on your show. This week,
Eddie was away, Martin Weiss was on the show. How
was it breaking in another new update anchor? All Right,
first of all, he's not new, right, he's just new
on our show. How long has Martin been at Fox Sports.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Rad He's been Yeah, probably three years.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Has it been three years?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (14:07):
I think so because he was doing a weekend show
back when I was producing some weekend shows.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
That was three years ago.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Oh okay, I didn't realize.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Yeah, yeah, he's a co He was a part time
he still is a part time co host on the weekends.
He has a Saturday show with VJ.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Husky who Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah, So he was in there. And to answer your question, JKA,
it's fine. Unlike a lot of the guys that step
in that chair and they think it's open mic night
at chuckles a comedy call. Martin was professional job. He
didn't try to take over the show. And so, yeah,
(14:48):
I have no no complaints. He seemed like he was
actually happy.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
To be there.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Yeah, No, he's a he's yeah, he's a nice dude.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Some of the people that fill in Danny, oh my god,
I'm gonna work over Oh boy, it's so bad. They complained,
and he was. He seemed happy.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
You know, he's any hustles.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
He started doing some updates so that he can make
some extra money and be on the network a little
bit more. Yeah, dudes like that, they're going to be
happy to have the work, all.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Right, Mike in h He did not say parts unknown.
He says, Hey, Ben and Danny, I heard a caller
on your show, Ben this week who say that you
who said you've gone soft on Brian Finley because you
went to his wedding. Danny, do you agree with that?
And if you've heard the show and Ben, have you
(15:38):
lost your edge?
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Well?
Speaker 5 (15:41):
Is it true that you don't torture friendly as much
on the air. That's something I'm not aware of.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Well, I what I noticed is when he's there, he
makes it all about him. So if I spend my
time back, that's what he wants because it's all about him.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Got you. So it's more avoidance than it is you
being soft.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, it's an editorial decision. I'm like, well, I really
I don't want to spend all of the show just
doing this, and so I limit it. But I don't
think I've lost my edge. It's not going to I
went to his wedding, and it's not that at all.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
It's just no, because even in that story you were
talking some smack about him.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
So yeah, yeah, exactly. So I'm surprised I ended up
getting an invite to the event. I am so. Jack
and Main writes and he says, Hey, Bendon, Danny, how
many of these do you have lying around your homes?
He says, Americans talking about hose Well, if you want.
(16:48):
He says, Americans are holding on He sent me a
news story here. Jack says, Americans are holding on to
twenty seven billion dollars of wasted money in gift cards.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
What.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah, what ends up happening with me is we'll use
the gift card and then there'll be a little money
left on it, and then we'll forget about it.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
And that's what that industry is hoping.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, yeah, and it happens all the time. Well, there's
a barbecue restaurant that get gift cards at Costco, and
we'll go there, we'll use the gift card and they'll
be like maybe five or ten bucks left on it,
and we'll forget about it and never never use that.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
I'm pretty good, I'm pretty good about using the gift
card all the way through.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
But it takes a while.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Like the second time I need to use the gift
card for the balance, they'll be like a year in
between the first time I used it. I had a
Red Robin gift card. It was over a year for
me to use the rest of the balance. But man,
that sandwich hit when I finally used it.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
May main that's good. Yeah, yeah, I don't forget about it.
I have a we have like a ziplock bag filled
with gift cards, like but oh you know.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
We have a zip block bag that's filled with taco
bell sauce.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Well but see, uh uh. For years, over the holidays,
people say, oh, here's a gift card Starbucks or some
barbecue place or whatever. And so we'll just throw him
in the bag. What's in the bag, and we you know,
every once in a while we'll go in there and
start pulling stuff out. It's like, all right, spin the wheel.
It's like roulette, where we're gonna eat today? What's in
the bag? You know that kind of thing. Yeah, all right,
(18:37):
Reggie and Detroit writes, and he says, our guys is
a couple of radio professionals. I wanted to know your opinion,
I don't know for professionals, Reggie says, I want to
know your opinion on the Alex Jones story. Uh. Yeah,
so there's a story. I don't know if you saw Danny.
I don't. I don't think this has been confirmed yet,
but supposedly, Uh, he's going to be forced to dismayntle
(19:01):
his his info Wars because of the one billion dollar
debt that he has. I don't know, Regy, I don't
know much about the story. Oh, the liquidating, Yeah, I
thought he had tried to move everything to somebody else's name,
so he didn't technically own that. I don't know if
(19:22):
the judge is or the court figured that out. They
probably did. It's kind of obvious. So yeah, I don't don't.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I'm not sure how the laws are and all that stuff.
I would think he's going to work somewhere, whether it's
his place Info Wars, if that goes out of business,
he'll still do something right. I would think he's in
the meeting.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
I'm seeing here that a US bankruptcy judge in Houston
this past Tuesday said that he will approve the auctions
that start in November.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Oh, really sitting an auction off all the stuff.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
And yeah, that's what this article saying.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Wow, all right, Yeah, I don't know much much about it.
I think they're still around for now though, right, they're
still operating.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Yeah, maybe maybe he could find a way to circumvent
this from happening.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
We will find out.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
I don't know. Fred the Scientist writes in from New Mexican,
New Mexico. He says, good morning, Ben and Danny saw
this story. I want to know your perspective on it.
And he then points out that apparently the surface of Mars,
part of it, appears to be covered in what they
(20:40):
think is rocket fuel.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
I thought you were going to say chocolate. That would
be awesome, I know, especially for my family, the garat Delli's.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Oh, that'd be awesome.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
I would have went up there and started mining the planet.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
So Fred the Scientist, Yeah, I don't. I'm I'm not
a scientist. This is the first I've heard of it.
But I would imagine everything that's here on Earth is
probably on all the other planets, right, because we're made
up of space dust, and we're made up a crap
that supposedly blew up. And if you believe what I
(21:20):
read when I was a kid, and everything kind of
threw together and there was the Big Bang or some
kind of massive event, and that's how we ended up
where we are. And who knows, maybe we're all living
in a simulation. I don't know, but yeah, I also Fred,
I did read a story and for you Danny as well,
(21:42):
that they said that all of the the things we use,
you know, they do a lot of slave labor to
make our cell phones and our computers and all that
the materials in there. They have to go to certain
parts and dig deep into the earth to get those things.
That a lot of that stuff they can get on Mars,
(22:04):
and they think, you know, it might be available there
and so they wouldn't have to take apart this plan.
But the problem is getting there and then getting this
stuff back safely is a problem. So anyway, Dan in
Albuquerque on the mailbag says, Hey, Ben and Danny, I
want to know how many how many hours a day
(22:26):
do you gentlemen spend getting ready for your respective shows.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Well, okay, I don't think. I don't think that process
ever stops. That's one thing people don't realize about radio
is we are searching through the Internet and different websites
and checking our phones pretty much NonStop.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Yeah, we're always futzing around trying to find something that
would be good talk radio, right, Danny, it's all about
good talk radio.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
And yeah, yeah, we don't want to you don't want
to miss anything because things will date themselves very quickly
most of the time.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yeah, a lot of what we do has a very
short shelf life. Unfortunately it's not long form timeless like
uh PI a podcast where Joe Rogan interviews an author.
M Well, that probably will have a pretty long shelf
life if they're just talking about a book. But a
(23:28):
radio show, we're talking about whatever's going on that day, right,
Play the hits, mom, Man, play the hits. It's all
about what's going on right now.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
And if, for instance, Justin Jefferson comes out with a
quote about a defensive back that was talking shit and
he says he's just going to do his thing and
dance the gritty all over this guy, you know, we
need to talk about that right as pretty much as
it's happening, because he's talking about his matchup that's happening today.
We couldn't get on the air Monday and say, oh,
(24:00):
see that story last Thursday. Dang, nobody wants to hear
old shit.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah, yeah, no, it's true. You only have about twenty
four hours, maybe not even that long, depending on what
the story is, and it's just it's over.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Yeah, once in a while, it doesn't matter if we
do it on the CNR show Monday or we do
it on Friday, because it's a story where it could
be on whatever day you want it to be on.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah. Those are wonderful, but they're usually softer stories, like
kicker stories type things, right, Danny, they're not meating potato
stuff you got to get to right away, or we
say meating potatoes like breaking down a quote from Justin
Jefferson is meeting potatoes. But in our world, it is
in our little world, our little bubble that we live in,
(24:50):
it is absolutely meat and potatoes. It is Mo from
Ohio Rights and he says, hey, Ben, is there anything
new on the next malth of Meet and Read you
have been teasing on your podcast? Well, Moe, and I
know JT the wingman, who I assume, I don't assume anything,
(25:12):
but he's been to the last three, so he might
show up to that one now, there is something in
the works. Nothing to announce, mo, but I hope to
have something I can announce in the next maybe as
soon as the next couple of weeks. So i'll let
you know. I'll let you know as soon as I
know for sure, I'll let you know. Alf from an
(25:35):
undisclosed location, says Ben and Danny, is there an investigative
wing over at the Peacock. I only ask because I
have a friend who spent an entire weekend clicking on
last week's episode of Benny Versus the Penny, and I
feel like he's about to be one of beyond one
of those catchup predator shows again asking for a friend. Well,
(26:02):
God bless you, Alf and your friend wink wink. But yeah,
as far as I know, you're.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Good, why don't you take a seat. I made someies
blank my blank and blank you.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Thank you, and so many of you have sent me messages,
and I smile at all of our friends. Sarah from Minnesota,
she but she's got a beautiful, beautiful photo she took
of her home there lake view photo at her cabin
in northern Minnesota. How lucky are you, Sarah? I have
that beautiful cabin in God's Country there in northern Minnesota,
(26:43):
and she had the TV show right there with that
beautiful mosaic in the background, just just absolutely awesome. So
that was that was really cool. What else do we
have here? Let's do We'll do a couple more Mike
from Los Angeles of Anaheim slash Fullerton, Hi, Ben and Raider.
(27:06):
G says, I'm sorry to do this, Danny G, but
I'd like to take back my apology from last week
after the Raiders got steamrolled by the Red Rifle Andy Dalton.
I'm back and wanting. Antonio appears to be the coach
for a long long time.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
He waivers on this weekly Yeah, he.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Says, I don't know about the Benny Hill theme. By
the way, for the show, I understand you had to
replace the puff Daddy song because he owned over the
legal limit of baby oil or something, but there has
to be a better song to replace the Benny Hill song.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Ah, you had to take out the Benjamin song.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Yeah, yeah, it says, Wow, that.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Was a staple, he says.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
If you ask nicely, Dan G could come up with
something great. Yeah, so we took that off the show.
The funniest thing about that and you'll completely understand this.
So we talked about on the show. We're like, all right, well,
we can't do this anymore.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
People were complaining, the really complaining. Oh my goodness, come on.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
I didn't care, but people were complaining. So I said, Eddie.
Eddie's like, what happened to the song? And I said,
we had to get rid of the song? And he
had no idea, Eddie World, Eddie Land.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
So you can have told like a baby oil joke
and it would have completely went over his head and
no idea.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
It's wild. He had no idea that we had to
get rid of the song because it was a diddy
so and then eventually we did. We were going back
and forth and eventually he put two and two together
and he's like, ah, I just keep playing it. I
wouldn't keep playing it, but they know whatever. I don't care.
You know how I feel about the music, Danny. I
love music, But when it comes to talk radio, what
(28:49):
is my position on music, Danny?
Speaker 4 (28:51):
People don't tune in for the music exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
That's my thing wrong again, right to find I went
through all of the Ben songs.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
And so this is going to be your standard music
as you get set. Yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
I was like, well, we'll find a song with Ben
in it, and then the only other song with Ben
in it that's good is Benny and the Jets. But
that's about a chick.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Oh. I thought you were going to say, Michael Jackson, Ben.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
No, that's a man.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
You want to talk about soft.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Isn't that about a rat or something like that?
Speaker 4 (29:32):
It's about a squirrel.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I don't know. There's there's nothing. Yeah, yes, there's nothing,
nothing good.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
I think I think you're just going to have to
find something that sounds cool and fits your vibe versus
something with your name in it.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Yeah, all right, Well if you find anything. See there
was one guys said, any chance that you were in
the running to replace Broussard on the Rob Parker Odd Couple.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Not really.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
I mean I had talked to Rob a few times,
but I like what I'm doing and I have my own,
my own gig and all that. But I love Rob
and I would you know, I'd do absolutely work with Rob,
but they'd have to pay me a lot of money.
And Danny, you think that's in my man? You think
that's in the cards, my man? Probably not right, Yeah,
probably not, man, I don't need to hear about that,
(30:24):
my man. All right, Danny, it's Sunday, anything. You'll be
back tomorrow with the.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Yeah first today hopefully the greatness of the Raiders and
not the letdown of the Raiders. And tomorrow afternoon be
back on with Covino and Rich from two to four
pm on the West Side, and that is five to
seven pm.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
And beautiful Albany, New York.

Speaker 5 (31:05):
Make sure to take a short cut home away from
Sofi today.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I got to drive down Crunshaw every day, man, I
want to see this. That's where the action is, man,
That's where where the people watching is next to them. Anyway,
have a great day. We'll talk to you next time.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Austa pasta gotta murder. I gotta go
Kutbooms.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow, the Clearinghouse of
Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
(00:23):
with Ben Mahler starts.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Right now in the air eywhere the fifth Hour with me,
Ben Mahlor and Danny g Radio Happy NFL Sunday.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
This is your pre pre pre game show, right is
that we're calling us standing the pre pre pre pregame show.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
It's the pre game to the pre game.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yeah yeah, Like you get up early, listen to the
show or listen to it whenever you want, and then
watch football all day long. Now we will get to
the mailbag in a minute, which is the star of
the show. On our final fifth Hour for the month
(01:15):
of September. Here as this week we flip over to October.
This is the last NFL weekend in September, and I
should be God willing, I will be at the Chiefs
Charger game later today at SOFI stadium in La La Land,
(01:36):
and then I'll be watching all the other games on
my computer and my phone and all that fussing around
with that.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Is there any way possible that you can make both
teams lose?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Well, you would want to, that's a good question. You're
probably not going to catch the Chiefs at one and two.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
But the Chargers, Yeah, the Chargers are not exactly a
Jugger not. Yeah, they obviously they obviously have a better
coach now, but the talent level is just okay on
their team.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
And they have injuries are starting to pile up for
the Chargers. So yeah, you probably want You assume the
Chiefs are going to win the division, so you want
them to win, and then as long as the Raiders
take care of business against the Browns, then they'll get
back to five hundred. Boy, they blew such a chance
last week.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Danny, I know, I know.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
We called it though, and I was talking about how
they play down to the competition, and you mentioned, coming
off that really big win against the Ravens that they
might come out flat, and unfortunately they listen to the podcast.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
It was terrible and winnable game. Today they play the
Broncos in Denver, next week. But the Broncos are not invincible.
They're not particularly a good team with bo Nicks, I
don't think, although I like them today with the points
if you watch the TV show. But these are these
are golden opportunities, Like later on you got the two
(03:07):
games with the Chiefs. You're gonna have to play Tampa,
which is a fringe playoff team, to play the Falcons,
which is going to be a playoff contender, So you
gotta win these games.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
And yeah, I mean I knew how bad Max Crosby
was hurt when I watched him try to come off
the line.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
There was like no explosion.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
He was kind of standing around, maybe waiting for an
opening to get into the quarterback, which wasn't happening because
that O line suddenly woke up and the whole the
whole team actually behind Andy Dalton looked like a playoff
team all.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Of a sudden.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
So I was just like most Raider fans, like why
why did teams have to wake up against us?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
It happened so much in my lifetime.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Well, Carolina looked like a real It looked good.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
See those darts. This is going to be a long day.
And then Minshew came back with that fifty four yard
dime of his own and they score a touchdown even
at up seven to seven, and I was like, all right, well,
it'll be a dog fight. And the defense played down
to the level of the offense, which wasn't clicking after
that touchdown and no run game. The O line is
(04:20):
in tatters right now because of injuries, and they're trying
to work some rookies in and looks like that DJ
Glaze guy and the Powers Johnson dude are both really good,
but their rookies. The Raiders are going to have to
have a patched up O line try to get some
remnants of a run game going.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, they have no running game.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
No run game whatsoever.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
And that Luke Keetzi guy who sucked in Chicago as
an OC is now the OC of the Raiders. On
first and second down, he was just running the ball
up the middle for zero yards. It's just super frustrating.
You have those weapons on that offense and that's the
play calling.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, hello, it's not working. You might want to do
something else before I forget. I wanted to mention this yesterday.
A couple of things from yesterday. We'll get to the mailbag.
But last Sunday, I was at the Ram forty nine
er game at so Far.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Brought him some luck.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Yeah, although I picked the forty nine ers on the
TV show, But yeah I didn't. I didn't think the
Rams had any chance. I was literally stunt. I was
there and I was like, it was forty yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
On the podcast you said you could probably leave at halftime.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, I thought again would be over. And the forty
nine ers came out. They scored early. They looked like
the same old forty nine ers marching down the field.
I think they had I think it was like fourteen
early points for the Niners, and I'm like, all right,
this is to be a blowout. And I still don't
quite understand how the Rams won that game without several
(05:51):
offensive linemen, their top two receivers, several defensive starters who
didn't play. That is a stunner of stunners based on
what should have happened and what actually happened. That's why
they play the games, Danny. I heard that somewhere along
the way, but on my way to the game, I
(06:11):
had parking in the red lot at so Far, so
it's general parking. Yeah, I followed the ways traffic. Yeah,
and you know, I'm just whatever it says. It said
red parking lot. So I followed. So I got there
very early to get there to watch the other games.
So it's it's you know, it's early in the morning,
(06:32):
several hours before the game. But there's already a few
cars there. So I get up to the gate, following
the directions, and the guy at the gates is, well,
you're in the wrong lane. I said, okay. He says,
so you're gonna have to make a U turn. You're
gonna have to go around all these cars and then
(06:53):
make a right and then go down several entrances and
then go in the other entrance. So say, okay, but
I if you move that orange cone, which is to
my right, I can go right there and then I'm
where I need to be. He said, yeah, but I'm
not allowed to do that. I said, but it's literally
(07:15):
right there. It'll take you one second. It's going to
cost me thirty minutes of my life and it'll take
you one second. And who's going to complain. We're just
not allowed to touch the cone, sir. We can't touch
the cones. Oh come on, well, I said, well, what
if I get out of the car. What if I
I'm the one doing it. I said, well, you're not
allowed to do that either. You have to stay in
your car. The cars around here, I said, well, there's
(07:35):
not many cars. It'll take one second. I promise, I'll
put the cone back. And now these guys were complete douchebags,
and so I had to get out of the parking lot.
You know, it's like they were following their superiors orders,
like the Nuremberg Defense or something like that. I just
so annoying. I say, God forbid you move, Like, what's
(08:00):
gonna happen, Danny? If they moved the cone? Is that
gonna everything's going to fall apart? A house of cards?
Is that what's going to happen?
Speaker 5 (08:07):
They're like some bouncers that we've fed to deal with
when we were younger.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Just stop it.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
I'm sure you wanted to take that guy's rapid radio
and shove it up his ass.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah, it was really annoying. Eventually I got where I
needed to go, but it did take about half an
hour of my time, and it literally would have been
less than a minute, maybe thirty seconds, and the guy
could have moved the cone. I would have gone through,
I would have been where I needed to go, and
that put me in a bad mood. Then after the
(08:39):
Ram game, I was like, well, I lost the bet,
but I was happy the Rams won because at least
they have a chance a decent season this year. Beating
the forty nine ers is a big win for them.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Please tell me you found that guy and ran over
his cone.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Well, I wanted to, but I'm leaving Sofi Stadium and
it's in the hood in Inglewood. So rategy always is
to avoid where the traffic is. So I go into
the heart of Englewood. I don't even know where I'm going.
I just go away from the traffic when I leave
Sofi State. Yeah, I'm like, I'll figure out. I'll just
(09:13):
turn on the traffic app. I'll go as far as
I can go, and then I'll.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Turn on the app and it'll take you some magical
alternative route alternate route exactly.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
So I'm doing that and I'm cruising down. I don't
even know where I am. I'm on French Shaw Boulevard
in LA and on my way driving through, I saw
a couple of things that can only see on Cretenshaw
frendshow Boulevard. The first was a black gentleman who was
(09:46):
dressed as a clown. He was panhandling. While juggling in
between green lights, he would run out hand to God, like,
what was that old Fox show with the Wayan.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Brothers, Uh, you know, oh yeah in living color?
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah. He was like, it wasn't one of the Wayan brothers,
like a clown on the show. If I remember, Maybe
I'm making that up. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
No, no, you're right.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah, it was like it was like a crappy clown costume.
The guy probably found a goodwill and he's standing there
with you know, he had the red nose on the
funny shoes and he's jruggling, and then he times it
perfectly when the signals about to change, and then he
(10:35):
takes a bow and takes his clown hat off and
asks for money.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
It was nice man. At least he's working for tips.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
No, no, I'm not ripping the guy.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
I just yeah, no, I know, I'm saying in general,
though we see panhandlers and they're not doing anything to
entertain us.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
It was I wish I had recorded it with my phone.
So then I keep going down Crenshaw, I get the
intersection of Crenshaw and Adams and about a block before that.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Oh boy, that's a great area.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Oh yeah, wonderful part of LA. So there's a homeless
encampment to my right. I'm driving down Crenshaw right right
near Adams, and hand to God, Danny, I'm not making
this up. I thought this is I mean, this is
next level. So there's a couple of tents. It's like
a small commune of homeless people. And there was a
(11:31):
ten foot regulation basketball hoop that was in the middle
of this homeless encampment that was on the side of
Crenshaw Boulevard. And there was an older dude who was
playing hoops and were shooting like he was Steph Curry.
He had pants on, his shirt off. And I have
(11:55):
so many questions about this, like where did they find it,
how did they get it there? How is that allowed?
I mean, don't people have to, you know, drive in
that part of the street. It's just it was wild.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
If you wanted to pull over and play a pickup game,
was that possible?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yeah, I could I play a game of pag or
horse or something like that. What you've been down for that,
you know?
Speaker 6 (12:16):
It was.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
It was wild. It really was next level. But eventually
I made it. Actually, you went back to the studio
and got ready for the show at the mother Ship.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
So I was there, Boy, I was there all day.
Did it turn out being a faster way out of Inglewood?
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Well, I'll never know. In my head, it was faster. Yeah,
that's really all that matters, you know, that's all that matters.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
It definitely was a more entertaining drive.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Oh yeah, I was for entertainment value. I think I'll
be doing that every time I go to Sofi Stadium.
It is much more entertaining than just going to the
four or five freeway.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
And this time, though, you'll have your gym bag ready
with your basketball.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
My basketball shoes. Just get one on one. All right,
Let's get to the mail bag. The mail bag.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
It's the bag, this mail bag, all.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Right, thank you, ohio al. These are actual questions by
actual fans of the show that have sent me an
email and Danny an email. Real fifth Hour at gmail
dot com. All letters, no numbers. It's real fifth Hour
at gmail dot com. My first one is jak jk
is from somewhere in South Carolina. He says, ben I
(13:45):
heard we heard a new voice on your show. This week,
Eddie was away, Martin Weiss was on the show. How
was it breaking in another new update anchor? All Right,
first of all, he's not new, right, he's just new
on our show. How long has Martin been at Fox Sports.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Rad He's been Yeah, probably three years.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Has it been three years?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (14:07):
I think so because he was doing a weekend show
back when I was producing some weekend shows.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
That was three years ago.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Oh okay, I didn't realize.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Yeah, yeah, he's a co He was a part time
he still is a part time co host on the weekends.
He has a Saturday show with VJ.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Husky who Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah, So he was in there. And to answer your question, JKA,
it's fine. Unlike a lot of the guys that step
in that chair and they think it's open mic night
at chuckles a comedy call. Martin was professional job. He
didn't try to take over the show. And so, yeah,
(14:48):
I have no no complaints. He seemed like he was
actually happy.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
To be there.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Yeah, No, he's a he's yeah, he's a nice dude.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Some of the people that fill in Danny, oh my god,
I'm gonna work over Oh boy, it's so bad. They complained,
and he was. He seemed happy.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
You know, he's any hustles.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
He started doing some updates so that he can make
some extra money and be on the network a little
bit more. Yeah, dudes like that, they're going to be
happy to have the work, all.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Right, Mike in h He did not say parts unknown.
He says, Hey, Ben and Danny, I heard a caller
on your show, Ben this week who say that you
who said you've gone soft on Brian Finley because you
went to his wedding. Danny, do you agree with that?
And if you've heard the show and Ben, have you
(15:38):
lost your edge?
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Well?
Speaker 5 (15:41):
Is it true that you don't torture friendly as much
on the air. That's something I'm not aware of.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Well, I what I noticed is when he's there, he
makes it all about him. So if I spend my
time back, that's what he wants because it's all about him.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Got you. So it's more avoidance than it is you
being soft.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, it's an editorial decision. I'm like, well, I really
I don't want to spend all of the show just
doing this, and so I limit it. But I don't
think I've lost my edge. It's not going to I
went to his wedding, and it's not that at all.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
It's just no, because even in that story you were
talking some smack about him.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
So yeah, yeah, exactly. So I'm surprised I ended up
getting an invite to the event. I am so. Jack
and Main writes and he says, Hey, Bendon, Danny, how
many of these do you have lying around your homes?
He says, Americans talking about hose Well, if you want.
(16:48):
He says, Americans are holding on He sent me a
news story here. Jack says, Americans are holding on to
twenty seven billion dollars of wasted money in gift cards.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
What.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah, what ends up happening with me is we'll use
the gift card and then there'll be a little money
left on it, and then we'll forget about it.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
And that's what that industry is hoping.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, yeah, and it happens all the time. Well, there's
a barbecue restaurant that get gift cards at Costco, and
we'll go there, we'll use the gift card and they'll
be like maybe five or ten bucks left on it,
and we'll forget about it and never never use that.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
I'm pretty good, I'm pretty good about using the gift
card all the way through.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
But it takes a while.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Like the second time I need to use the gift
card for the balance, they'll be like a year in
between the first time I used it. I had a
Red Robin gift card. It was over a year for
me to use the rest of the balance. But man,
that sandwich hit when I finally used it.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
May main that's good. Yeah, yeah, I don't forget about it.
I have a we have like a ziplock bag filled
with gift cards, like but oh you know.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
We have a zip block bag that's filled with taco
bell sauce.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Well but see, uh uh. For years, over the holidays,
people say, oh, here's a gift card Starbucks or some
barbecue place or whatever. And so we'll just throw him
in the bag. What's in the bag, and we you know,
every once in a while we'll go in there and
start pulling stuff out. It's like, all right, spin the wheel.
It's like roulette, where we're gonna eat today? What's in
the bag? You know that kind of thing. Yeah, all right,
(18:37):
Reggie and Detroit writes, and he says, our guys is
a couple of radio professionals. I wanted to know your opinion,
I don't know for professionals, Reggie says, I want to
know your opinion on the Alex Jones story. Uh. Yeah,
so there's a story. I don't know if you saw Danny.
I don't. I don't think this has been confirmed yet,
but supposedly, Uh, he's going to be forced to dismayntle
(19:01):
his his info Wars because of the one billion dollar
debt that he has. I don't know, Regy, I don't
know much about the story. Oh, the liquidating, Yeah, I
thought he had tried to move everything to somebody else's name,
so he didn't technically own that. I don't know if
(19:22):
the judge is or the court figured that out. They
probably did. It's kind of obvious. So yeah, I don't don't.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I'm not sure how the laws are and all that stuff.
I would think he's going to work somewhere, whether it's
his place Info Wars, if that goes out of business,
he'll still do something right. I would think he's in
the meeting.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
I'm seeing here that a US bankruptcy judge in Houston
this past Tuesday said that he will approve the auctions
that start in November.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Oh, really sitting an auction off all the stuff.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
And yeah, that's what this article saying.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Wow, all right, Yeah, I don't know much much about it.
I think they're still around for now though, right, they're
still operating.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Yeah, maybe maybe he could find a way to circumvent
this from happening.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
We will find out.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
I don't know. Fred the Scientist writes in from New Mexican,
New Mexico. He says, good morning, Ben and Danny saw
this story. I want to know your perspective on it.
And he then points out that apparently the surface of Mars,
part of it, appears to be covered in what they
(20:40):
think is rocket fuel.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
I thought you were going to say chocolate. That would
be awesome, I know, especially for my family, the garat Delli's.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Oh, that'd be awesome.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
I would have went up there and started mining the planet.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
So Fred the Scientist, Yeah, I don't. I'm I'm not
a scientist. This is the first I've heard of it.
But I would imagine everything that's here on Earth is
probably on all the other planets, right, because we're made
up of space dust, and we're made up a crap
that supposedly blew up. And if you believe what I
(21:20):
read when I was a kid, and everything kind of
threw together and there was the Big Bang or some
kind of massive event, and that's how we ended up
where we are. And who knows, maybe we're all living
in a simulation. I don't know, but yeah, I also Fred,
I did read a story and for you Danny as well,
(21:42):
that they said that all of the the things we use,
you know, they do a lot of slave labor to
make our cell phones and our computers and all that
the materials in there. They have to go to certain
parts and dig deep into the earth to get those things.
That a lot of that stuff they can get on Mars,
(22:04):
and they think, you know, it might be available there
and so they wouldn't have to take apart this plan.
But the problem is getting there and then getting this
stuff back safely is a problem. So anyway, Dan in
Albuquerque on the mailbag says, Hey, Ben and Danny, I
want to know how many how many hours a day
(22:26):
do you gentlemen spend getting ready for your respective shows.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Well, okay, I don't think. I don't think that process
ever stops. That's one thing people don't realize about radio
is we are searching through the Internet and different websites
and checking our phones pretty much NonStop.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Yeah, we're always futzing around trying to find something that
would be good talk radio, right, Danny, it's all about
good talk radio.
Speaker 5 (22:57):
And yeah, yeah, we don't want to you don't want
to miss anything because things will date themselves very quickly
most of the time.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Yeah, a lot of what we do has a very
short shelf life. Unfortunately it's not long form timeless like
uh PI a podcast where Joe Rogan interviews an author.
M Well, that probably will have a pretty long shelf
life if they're just talking about a book. But a
(23:28):
radio show, we're talking about whatever's going on that day, right,
Play the hits, mom, Man, play the hits. It's all
about what's going on right now.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
And if, for instance, Justin Jefferson comes out with a
quote about a defensive back that was talking shit and
he says he's just going to do his thing and
dance the gritty all over this guy, you know, we
need to talk about that right as pretty much as
it's happening, because he's talking about his matchup that's happening today.
We couldn't get on the air Monday and say, oh,
(24:00):
see that story last Thursday. Dang, nobody wants to hear
old shit.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yeah, yeah, no, it's true. You only have about twenty
four hours, maybe not even that long, depending on what
the story is, and it's just it's over.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Yeah, once in a while, it doesn't matter if we
do it on the CNR show Monday or we do
it on Friday, because it's a story where it could
be on whatever day you want it to be on.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah. Those are wonderful, but they're usually softer stories, like
kicker stories type things, right, Danny, they're not meating potato
stuff you got to get to right away, or we
say meating potatoes like breaking down a quote from Justin
Jefferson is meeting potatoes. But in our world, it is
in our little world, our little bubble that we live in,
(24:50):
it is absolutely meat and potatoes. It is Mo from
Ohio Rights and he says, hey, Ben, is there anything
new on the next malth of Meet and Read you
have been teasing on your podcast? Well, Moe, and I
know JT the wingman, who I assume, I don't assume anything,
(25:12):
but he's been to the last three, so he might
show up to that one now, there is something in
the works. Nothing to announce, mo, but I hope to
have something I can announce in the next maybe as
soon as the next couple of weeks. So i'll let
you know. I'll let you know as soon as I
know for sure, I'll let you know. Alf from an
(25:35):
undisclosed location, says Ben and Danny, is there an investigative
wing over at the Peacock. I only ask because I
have a friend who spent an entire weekend clicking on
last week's episode of Benny Versus the Penny, and I
feel like he's about to be one of beyond one
of those catchup predator shows again asking for a friend. Well,
(26:02):
God bless you, Alf and your friend wink wink. But yeah,
as far as I know, you're.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Good, why don't you take a seat. I made someies
blank my blank and blank you.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Thank you, and so many of you have sent me messages,
and I smile at all of our friends. Sarah from Minnesota,
she but she's got a beautiful, beautiful photo she took
of her home there lake view photo at her cabin
in northern Minnesota. How lucky are you, Sarah? I have
that beautiful cabin in God's Country there in northern Minnesota,
(26:43):
and she had the TV show right there with that
beautiful mosaic in the background, just just absolutely awesome. So
that was that was really cool. What else do we
have here? Let's do We'll do a couple more Mike
from Los Angeles of Anaheim slash Fullerton, Hi, Ben and Raider.
(27:06):
G says, I'm sorry to do this, Danny G, but
I'd like to take back my apology from last week
after the Raiders got steamrolled by the Red Rifle Andy Dalton.
I'm back and wanting. Antonio appears to be the coach
for a long long time.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
He waivers on this weekly Yeah, he.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Says, I don't know about the Benny Hill theme. By
the way, for the show, I understand you had to
replace the puff Daddy song because he owned over the
legal limit of baby oil or something, but there has
to be a better song to replace the Benny Hill song.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Ah, you had to take out the Benjamin song.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Yeah, yeah, it says, Wow, that.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Was a staple, he says.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
If you ask nicely, Dan G could come up with
something great. Yeah, so we took that off the show.
The funniest thing about that and you'll completely understand this.
So we talked about on the show. We're like, all right, well,
we can't do this anymore.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
People were complaining, the really complaining. Oh my goodness, come on.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
I didn't care, but people were complaining. So I said, Eddie.
Eddie's like, what happened to the song? And I said,
we had to get rid of the song? And he
had no idea, Eddie World, Eddie Land.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
So you can have told like a baby oil joke
and it would have completely went over his head and
no idea.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
It's wild. He had no idea that we had to
get rid of the song because it was a diddy
so and then eventually we did. We were going back
and forth and eventually he put two and two together
and he's like, ah, I just keep playing it. I
wouldn't keep playing it, but they know whatever. I don't care.
You know how I feel about the music, Danny. I
love music, But when it comes to talk radio, what
(28:49):
is my position on music, Danny?
Speaker 4 (28:51):
People don't tune in for the music exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
That's my thing wrong again, right to find I went
through all of the Ben songs.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
And so this is going to be your standard music
as you get set. Yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
I was like, well, we'll find a song with Ben
in it, and then the only other song with Ben
in it that's good is Benny and the Jets. But
that's about a chick.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Oh. I thought you were going to say, Michael Jackson, Ben.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
No, that's a man.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
You want to talk about soft.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Isn't that about a rat or something like that?
Speaker 4 (29:32):
It's about a squirrel.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I don't know. There's there's nothing. Yeah, yes, there's nothing,
nothing good.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
I think I think you're just going to have to
find something that sounds cool and fits your vibe versus
something with your name in it.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Yeah, all right, Well if you find anything. See there
was one guys said, any chance that you were in
the running to replace Broussard on the Rob Parker Odd Couple.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Not really.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
I mean I had talked to Rob a few times,
but I like what I'm doing and I have my own,
my own gig and all that. But I love Rob
and I would you know, I'd do absolutely work with Rob,
but they'd have to pay me a lot of money.
And Danny, you think that's in my man? You think
that's in the cards, my man? Probably not right, Yeah,
probably not, man, I don't need to hear about that,
(30:24):
my man. All right, Danny, it's Sunday, anything. You'll be
back tomorrow with the.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Yeah first today hopefully the greatness of the Raiders and
not the letdown of the Raiders. And tomorrow afternoon be

Sofi today.
