Speaker 1 (00:00):
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 sol fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
rich pill poppers.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
In the penthouse.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Wow to clearinghouse of hot takes, break free for something special.
The Fifth Hour with Ben Mahller starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Mahler and Danny g Radio a Happy Sunday to you.
Game seven in the NBA, the last game of the
conference finals, the final piece to the puzzle.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
The two best words in all of sports.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
They try not to f it up. Oklahoma City at
home against the Denver Nuggets. I just want a more
competitive game than we got back on Friday night when
the Knicks led by as many as forty one points
and absolutely vaporize the Celtics. So I just want a
game that's within within six points going to the fourth quarter.
I want a game with five minutes to go in
(01:12):
the game. That's anyone's game. That's what I want. And
let's see who does not ride the vomit comet who
rises to the occasion. That would be wonderful. That's what
I would like to see. Well I get that, probably
not well, we probably won't get it, but I'd like
I'd like that to happen. That would be very cool
for a game seven to come down to the very end.
(01:34):
It is National No Dirty Dishes Day today, so celebrate appropriately.
And a fun fact on that the beginning of porcelain
plates six hundred a d. Chinese porcelain plates. The Chinese
started making porcelain in six hundred a d. And it
(01:57):
wasn't until the seventeen hundreds. Seventeen oh eight the process
of making pottery was discovered by some dude in Germany
and that led to the creation of European pottery. So
they stole it from the Chinese and they then made
the European pottery and it wasn't for another one hundred
and fifty something years after that. The paper plate was
(02:21):
invented in eighteen sixty seven. So just think in the
Middle Ages they didn't have paper plates. And in the
Middle Ages, Nanny, they didn't know they were in the
Middle Ages. They just thought they were just living their life.
They didn't realize it was the Middle Ages. They had
no idea.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
You got to argue.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Two paper plates one of the best inventions ever, because
that's what can keep your stink dish free.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, I'm the dishwasher. I don't mind. I do complain
to my wife sometimes because I tell her when she's
cooking and we split the cooking. But when she's cooking,
she thinks she's a television chef. You know, on television, Danny,
they don't worry about dirty dishes because someone else does
the dishes. So they'll do seven to eight plates, you know,
(03:06):
silverware up the wazoo. They don't give a crap. They
don't give a crap. So the the top two dishes,
little little dirty dish trivia for you, Danny.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Top two dishes Americans eat to avoid doing dishes. One
of them is.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Obvious, Yeah, obviously pizza because you eat it with your hands.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Exactly pizza. What's number two, though, udeo hot dogs, no
French fries. French fries is not followed by chicken wings, tacos,
and hamburger. So those hot dog only got two percent
of the vote. I don't know why one we get
(03:48):
two percent of the vote. Egg roll got more of
the vote. Egg roll Burrito's on here. Burrito makes sense?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yeah, I think.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
I think hot dog and hamburger homemade dinners were more
of a thing back in the eighties and nineties when
we were kids. Nowadays, people aren't big on giving their
kids hot dogs unless you're at a ballgame. People who
are more into the what are the healthy, grilled, salthier items?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah, do you know what's in a hot dog? You
want to hear how they're made? Shut up, stop ruining everything.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I hate to tell you everything you eat is going
to kill you. So anyway, all right, we have the
mail bag, Danny, are you prepared for the mail bag?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Let's go.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
It's this bag, all right?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Thank you? Ohio.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
These are actual letters by actual listeners. If you'd like
to send a letter in for a future mail bag,
you can do that care of Real fifth Hour at
gmail dot com. That's all letters, no numbers, Real fifth
Hour at gmail dot com. That's Real fifth Hour at
gmail dot com. First one is from Steve in van mccouver.
(05:11):
It says, Hey, Ben and Danny, I'm excited for the
Mallar meet and greet. Do you have any idea how
many people are going to be there. No, I have
no I don't know if anyone's gonna show up. I
have no idea. As I always say Danny, with these
Mallard meet and greets, you go in hoping a lot
of people show up. You never know whether there's five people,
two people, three people, fifty people, one hundred people. Whoever
(05:34):
shows up will have a good time. We'll have fun.
That's coming up in Oh my god, what do we
eleven days away from the Malor meet and greet. It's
on Thursday, May twenty ninth at the court Side on Main.
We talked about this on the podcast. I did a
little video on the Instagram and the Facebook pages of
the show, so if you want to check that out
(05:55):
on the Graham which is Ben Malor on Fox and
Facebook Ben mal Show. So I have no idea how
many people are gonna be there. I know I'll be there,
Lorena Coop will be there. We're gonna have a great time.
We'll be there from seven to ten at the court
Side on Maine and Vancouver. And I want to thank
Nico again for putting that together. But I really don't
(06:17):
I have nobody. We don't have a list to any
there's no RSVP. People don't sign up to show up.
And even when people say they're gonna be there, like
I've had a bunch of email from people say oh, yeah,
I'm gonna be there, stuff happens. You got stuff going
on in your life. Sometimes you say you're gonna be somewhere,
you don't show up.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
So just make sure you tell Lorena to bring an
empty suitcase with her so she could bring all her
gifts back home.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Well I'm not getting she'll get everything. Yeah,
I got it. Without Lorena, we wouldn't get any mail
on Fox Sports Radio. Next up, Tony and the Bay Right.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Now, I made you a mug and pottery class.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Tony the Bay says, Hey, Ben and Danny those years
the Rams were in Saint Louis, were you ever a
Bears fan? And if not, why the fuck not? As
Tony the Bay and Danny G Radio, have you ever
disowned a team? Now, Tony's a big Chicago Bears fan, Tony,
I was not a Chicago Bears fan. Well, technically I
(07:12):
was not a Bears fan. There were points I was
a Bears fan because when the Rams left to go
to Saint Louis what I did. My move, I'd pivoted.
I said, Okay, I'm going to be a fan of
no team, but I'll be a fan of every team.
And what I mean by that is, I will just
base this off my money who I'm betting on and
for that particular game, that's who I'm pulling for. So
(07:34):
in a way, I was a Bears fan Tony, although
not someone with merch and all that stuff. Now, Danny,
you just experienced a few years ago the Raiders relocating.
But you went to a Raider game in Vegas last year,
So I'm going to assume the position that you've never
left a team behind, You've never disowned a team. Is
(07:55):
that accurate?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
That's accurate. Never.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
And the thing is, we knew Vegas was gonna be
like a West Coast hub for the Raiders because how
many Raider fans really lived in the city of Oakland.
A ton of Raider fans all throughout the West Coast.
That's why it was okay when the Raiders moved.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Okay, fair enough. I was on a flight from l
A to actually from the Burbank Airport to to Oakland
when the Raiders, when they left LA to go back
to Oakland. Yeah, I was on a Southwest flight and
it was nothing but Raider fans, including the guy the
(08:36):
at the time, he was like the most famous Raider fan,
the black dude that wore the shoulder pads with the spikes.
You know, the guy.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
You know, I'm talking about Violator.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
I don't remember his name, but yeah, his.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Name is Violator. He's still he's still. Uh he has
tickets from Vegas. Yeah, he's in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Well I was on a plane with him and to
There was a Raiders Seahawk game in Oakland at the
Colisseum there, and I remember that was like, that was
the guy. I remember remember other famous I guess famous
Raider fans, but that was the one that was on it,
so you've not just on it.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
There were such fun flights Bend because you could feel
the excitement on the plane. It was such a game
day feeling, even when you were high in the sky
and a lot of a lot of the passengers were
high from drinking before they even got on the plane.
But I remember not only the drinking and the party
atmosphere on the plane, but one guy walked on with
his one carry on item and it was a Weber
(09:30):
barbecue grill in its box.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
That's great.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
It was obviously planning on barbecuing in the you know,
the Colisseum's parking lot prior to the game, even though
he was flying up.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Yeah. My memory of that is not only the violator
guy and just nothing but raider fans, but even the
flight crew at Southwest. They would get on the PA
and they would in There was like rhythmic chanting on
the plane. Like the people, the flight attention.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Yes, they were into it.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
They were like, this is fun.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Yeah time.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I remember the flight attendant would get on the intercom
and lead the raids.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah, it was pretty cool. And I'm not a raider
fan or anything like that, but it was fun. It
was a great environment. And then the raiders will go
out and lose, but it was a fun environment. You know,
people were into it.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
How dare you actually? Ben?
Speaker 4 (10:17):
I got to see the Gruden years and the rich
Gannon years, so there was some winning, even though there
was a lot of losing leading up to that.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
All right. Next up, Mark from Venice rites in and says, hey,
Ben and Danny. President Trump took some shots of celebrities
this week, which one is more accurate? It says Mark
from Venice, I love the podcast yet, and then he says,
I guess Trump called Bruce Pringsteen a dried out prune
and Taylor Swift no longer hot. Uh. Yeah, that's political,
(10:48):
mom man, that's the third rail.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Mom man.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Let's see here now, Taylor Swift, Danny is not my
type of woman.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Per se.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I feel like she needs to eat more food.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Yeah, she's not voluptuous enough.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Exactly, so she's that. I don't think she was ever
really hot to me, you know, but that's a lot
of people think she's beautiful and wonderful and all that.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
So you don't like to floss your teeth with your women.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
No, I want to no. Uh.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
And I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I Bruce Springsteen. I like some of his old music,
but I don't I have not seen him in a
long time. I don't know he's old. How old is
Bruce Springsteen?
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Is he in his eighties?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
He's got to be in his eighties.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
He's one hundred and five.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, so he probably is a dried out prune, I
would think, right, because I don't know. I mean, you
get old, that's what happens. You know, if you're lucky
enough to get old, if you're blessed enough to get old,
your kind.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Of things just kind of So yeah, I know he's
on a summer tour, so he's still old enough. I mean,
he's still young enough, I should say, to do his thing.
But good, let's look that up Springsteen.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
What do you guess?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I think he's like eighty one.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
I'll go eighty one. Yeah, he's got it. He's got
to be getting up there, got oh seventy five?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Really? Oh man? All right, all right, take that back.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I guess because he's wrinkled up, he looks older.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Yeah. I love like guys like Mark and Venice, who
said these like, what do you expect me to say?
I don't know. I Trump's just trying to get in
the headlines because he knows as you're talking about this,
you're not talking about something else he's doing. So it's
it's the oldest trick in the book. Tie from l
Passo writes in and says, Ben, I know you had
an incident years ago with Justin Bieber. Do you feel
bad for the Beabes based on the story this week
(12:31):
about him almost going broke? No, I don't. I don't
give a listen the fact that Bieber's.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Suldn't that your boy though? Didn't you hang with him
at a Clippers game back in the day.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I was a Laker game and his hoodie touched my
arm justin Bieber's hoodie touched my arm. Was a Laker
Rockets game at Staples and a couple of his security
goons were leading him out to his front row seat
at Staples Center. It was his call back then and beebes.
He had a hoodie on, probably because he had just
come from a freak off with Diddy and he was
(13:06):
he was walking with his head down and the front
of the cootie hit my my. It was my left arm.
My Elwow.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Yeah, Well, clearly his downward spiral rubbed off on you.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
How dare you? I don't know what you're talking about.
You've seen my paycheck, so yeah, I don't. What do
you want to say?
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Ty? I mean?
Speaker 1 (13:27):
So he was almost broke. The story was he was
this week day, he was almost broke, and then he
sold his music catalog for two hundred million dollars. So
I guess he's not broke. I guess he'll be okay.
Jack from he says, Jack not in the box from
Baker's Field rights in. He says, Ben, I know you're
up on all the social media trends today, and I
(13:49):
know you're a big fan of mister Beast. Jack says,
from Bakersfield. Do you think mister Bee should have to
pay the people of Mexico for using the mayansight to
plug his candy?
Speaker 5 (14:03):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
So, Jack, I don't know much about this. I don't
do you know anything about this? Danny Soparently mister Beast
is an internet YouTube superstar, the rock star I guess.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
And oh yeah, he even has a popular TV show.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Now does he what channels it on?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
You have to look that up, but I know I've
seen it on one of the streaming services.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Okay, so this guy, Jack says, He says, mister Beast
has a candy and was using a Mayan site, and
now Mexico wants mister Beast to pay for using the
Mayan the Mayan set, I don't.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Know it's on Prime, so maybe it's not that popular.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Hello, it's not on Peacock like Penny versus the Penny.
Now that's no. I don't know much. I don't know
much about mister beast. I know he's got a lot
of money from what I've heard.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
So if he's got a ton of it and he
gives a ton of it away.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
More money, more problems. Is that what the song goes?
More money, more problem? So you have more money.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
He is the walking definition of you to spend money
to make money.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Okay, So what does Mexico want? I don't know what
they want. I don't really about it.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Jack, why you ask?
Speaker 4 (15:08):
And do you know that his net worth is five
hundred and fifty million dollars?
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Now?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
How how seriously? How good for him?
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
You want to trade you out?
Speaker 5 (15:22):
You knew?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
The Overnight show, Mike and Fullerton writes and says, hey, Bendon,
Danny g I've got a question. Inspired by the show's
newest breakout star, Royal Flush Charlie. Charlie and Dallas, of course,
is the guy that Mike is referencing. He's got Royal
Flush Charlie is the nickname also the Dallas Dumper from
his propensity to do the show. Call the show from
the bathroom, he says, how much time do you spend
(15:45):
on the John? Are you a get in, get out
kind of guy? Or do you take your time like Charlie.
Hopefully my question doesn't scare off any of the few
die hard female fans of the Fifth Hour. And that
is from Mike in Fullerton. Yeah, I'm getting get out guy.
You know, do what you gotta do and make sure
(16:08):
to flush flushy, flushy, very important. And then I do
like the toilet. We have a high end tushy toilets
Danny with the water, so that does make the toilet
experience a more enjoyable experience. But yeah, I don't spend it.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
That sounds cold. Do you have like a temperature gauge
on the water?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
It's room temperature water. It's fine, it's not I would
want that warm. No, no, you don't want it one
that would burn very important regions of the body. You
want it room temperature.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
You want a very European of you.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Listen some things they do right, relegation and water in
your took us that those two things they.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Do want a shower or a bath. It's for I
don't want water constantly spranging. I want anything, But.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
No, it's not constantly spraying.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Number one.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Number two. You can adjust it to how you want it.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
What do you mean it's not constantly sprang what is
it a trickle?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Well, no, no, no, I'm saying, when you do what
you have to do, you here.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Means then it's a blast, right I know that.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Oh no, no, okay, see going, but how long does it?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
How long does it blast you?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
As long as you want. There's a there's this thing.
You twist it and it turns the water on and
it sprays right, and you took us right the dirty
part and it cleans to the dirt, away the poopy.
Oh man, okaymi, And then you turn the water off
and then you you're supposed to make sure you do
a follow up. There's one wipe to follow up.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
You get to go. You don't have a toddler running
around your mansion obviously if you did.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
If you did, your bathroom would be your fortress, it
would be your solace. So when I go in there,
I bring my phone, make sure it's charged, and I
do a lot of show prep for the Covino and
Rich show.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yeah. See yeah, well if I if I had that situation,
I would likely do the same thing. But I hang
out with Moxy. You know. Week it's pretty much me
and the dog. The wife's at work and she works
at night, so's she leaves for work before I do,
So I'm just kind of hanging out and whatever. You
go in there, get done, move on moving the next thing.
But great question, my really deep that one thing on
(18:15):
a Sunday.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Ben, you've a ball. Back in the day it was
freak offs and now it's poop offs.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Well, listen, baby oil is a great probably Joe from Brooklyn. Hello,
Joe from Brooklyn rights and says Ben and Danny daddy
g He says, I heard Ben you talking about Moxie
on the show.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
The other day.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
What do you think about the story this week that
one in seven dog owners would dump their partner to
extend their dog's life by three years, says Joe. One
of seven people are with someone they should not be with.
Danny's that seems like that's what that means, right.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Yeah, that in the new phenomenon in the past decade
or so where people treat it well, probably twenty years now,
if not twenty five, were people call their pets their
babies and their children and they push them around in strollers.
Back in the day, when Paris Hilton treated their dogs
like that, people laughed. But now you see regular people
(19:15):
on the street treating their animals that way.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Yeah, it's a little much. Yeah, I love Moxie Joe,
and Moxie's my pal. And but Maxi's a dog. Maxie
licks its ass, you know. I mean, what do you
want me to do?
Speaker 4 (19:28):
I mean, Dan, I'm a donkey mom, or what did
the lady say? A lady called Kovino and Rich last
week and complained because Rich was going in on people
that are a little too close to their pets. And
she said, I am a cat mom and I don't
care if you don't like that term. And Rich was like, well,
that's fine, but they're not the same as children. She's
(19:51):
like to me, it is my child, And so he
got some blowback on that.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yeah, it is fun doing a national show and having
the random not in the demo listener call up and
start attacking you for something. One of my favorite memories
of that this goes back twenty years and there was
some political something in the Middle East that was going
(20:17):
on twenty years ago, and I remember what it was.
But this old woman from somewhere in the northeast, somewhere
in the New England States called up and was on
hold for a long time. Because she didn't have anything
to say, and she was not in the demo, and
she was on hold, and then she got on the
air and she's she's like ripping. She takes a shot
(20:40):
at Fox News right and hangs up, not realizing we're
not Fox News right. She's like all upset. It was
like it was the funniest thing. I still remember, We're
not even related. We work for iHeart Medias who we
worked for. That's the parent company that we have to
deal with on a regular.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
I heeart that it's nothing to do with Fox Corporation.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Not at all. No, no, no, all right, yeah, so
I thank you for the story, Joe. By the way,
Joe says, millennials are the ones that are most likely
to dump their their significant other for a dog. Alf
from the Mass Mutual Center rights and as I sat
through my son's college graduation ceremonial, the congratulations little baby,
(21:25):
Alf all grown up? How about you? Alf says As
I sat through my son's college graduation ceremony, I couldn't
help but think of the following question. Would you guys
take a do over and go back to college and
into the job market intoday's market, says Alf. Yeah, unless
(21:45):
I knew the knowledge I have now, and if I
could go back and do it all over again with
knowledge that I've gained through my life, that would be
kind of cool.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
I wouldn't want to redo that part of life. What
I would want to redo are a couple of those
program director jobs I had because much like you, I
don't play the game. I didn't play the game where
you should be buddies with your bosses and go drinking
with some of the people you work with. I was
so focused on the actual radio station that I didn't
(22:17):
hobnob enough.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
I think that's the word.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Yeah, And so if I could go back and just
have a little bit more fun and enjoy things and
maybe and not kissing ass necessarily. But like I didn't
even go to station events or like people's you know,
parties that they would throw and they would invite everybody
from work. I would never even attended things like that.
(22:40):
Anti social I think.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Yeah, yeah, I hear you, I hear you. There's some
some things that I in the multiverse. I like, what
would have happened. I interviewed with TMZ Sports in twenty
oh nine. I was about to be hired. They were
going to launch TMZ Sports. I was wondering what would
have happened if that had taken off they had hired me,
And then famously was also around that time, I somewhere
(23:08):
in that period, there was like two or three years there.
I went, I went to Bristol, Connecticut, met with the
ESPN executives there, and I was about to be hired there,
and then that didn't work out. So like there's a
couple of things that happened where I was like, I
don't know if that would have I don't think I
really fit ESPN per se would you look at things
like that? But I'm happy. I think we're pretty lucky.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Danny.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
We got in before the everyone's got a podcast era.
You know, you actually had to earn it to get
on the radio, and it meant something. It was meaningful.
You know, you can just anybody could get a podcast
and do that. You had to. You had to work
your way up, and that was kind of cool, you know.
I think I think that's a yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
And we were both with the network before it became
the number one sports network in the country.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Yeah, yeah, that's I have fond memories of being on
Fox Sports Radio in Binghamton, New York and Pitts in
a couple other cities, and we were like the fourth
sports network in the country, and now we're at the top.
Nick in Wisconsin rights in, thanks, alf, I hope your
son does well. I want know what your son majored in.
Nick in Wisconsin says Ben and Danny. We just had
(24:16):
our second tornado warning in the last few weeks as
I write this, which is rare in west central Wisconsin.
Nick says, do either of you believe that the government
has weather controlling technology and is using it to bend
the American people to its will? Let's go coast to
(24:37):
coast on this Sunday fun day. Yeah, So, I totally
believe that technology is out there, and if the technology
is out there, then the government has access to it.
I absolutely believe that. And we know that the technology
is out there because in the Middle East they have
been fussing around with us. Didn't they have big floods
(24:57):
because they messed it up? Was it last year or
two years ago? Remember they had the big floods of
places that they don't really get a lot of rain.
They were they were messing around seating clouds and coming
up with with rain and they got it wrong, and
there were there were like flash flood warnings in a
place that doesn't get much rain at all, and the
(25:19):
theory is that's because they were humanly manipulating the weather.
So I absolutely believe it's out there. And if it's
out there, the government's got their fingers in it.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
So I buy that. What about you, Danny, let me
ask you this. If you did, yeah, I know this
is on your bucket list. If you did get to
fill in for George Nori for a week Premiere Networks,
what do you think you would spend most of the
airtime talking about.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
I'd love to have a chance to fill in on
Coast to Coast. I would do remote viewing because I've
heard a lot about that recently, so I do remote
viewing UFOs.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
I could do like some Bigfoot stuff UFO and the
alien stuff has been in the news, and your theory
about there being a world underneath the ocean and the
sea and under mountains. Possibly we should get Nori back
on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
It's a great idea. We should track down Georgia and
I'm going to I'm going to be in Vancouver coming
up here in eleven days, so we're going to have
to do some some we call him Evergreen Ponds Danny
that will stand the test of time. So we'll have
to do an interview weekend of chit Chat while I'm
in Vancouver. So love to get George on and talk
(26:36):
about some of those amazing Coast to Coast topics which
are so good and really great on the podcast, because
you can listen to the overnight show Live Danny, and
then you can go back and hear the Coast to
Coast Podcast with our buddy, the great George Norri who's
been doing that for what thirty close to thirty years now.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Coast time now, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Been a long run for sure. Kwang from Vietnam says
Ben and Daddy G Radio instead of see you later, Alligator,
I think I found a new book for Daddy G
Radio to read, the baby CoA see you later, excavator.
Have you heard of that book? Danny?
Speaker 3 (27:19):
You know what's funny about that.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
There's a song that's been staying in me and my
better half brains and it's from Blippy.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Are you aware of who Blippy is?
Speaker 1 (27:29):
I am not aware of the magical ability of Blippy.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
No Blippy is this goofy dude there's actually two of
them that sort of look alike, and they pretend like
it's only one guy, so they take turns doing the show.
But Blippy wears a dumb hat and dumb glasses and
suspenders and a bow tie and pants that look a
little too tight, and he runs around like museums and
(27:53):
kids parks and playgrounds and things around the country that
would interest kids. He talks in a weird kind of
pee wee herman voice. It's somewhat educational, but kids have
gravitated towards this Blippy guy. He has a song that's
called the Excavator Song. He shows an excavator and the
(28:13):
song goes, I'm an excavator. And whenever CoA is dancing
around the living room listening to the Excavator song, Brendon
and I look at each other and we're like, we're
gonna be singing this stupid song to ourselves for the
next week.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yeah, that's that's a tough one. This book, though, it's
a real book. He sent me a quang sent me
a screenshot. See you later, excavator.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
I'm gonna look that up.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
You might have to get that for a little baby
cold for sure. Time for one or two more here
on the mail bag. Oh gotta get my guy Reggie
and Reggie from Detroit. This dude emails us every week
pretty much. He says, Ben, the show Around the Horn,
its final week is this week on ESPN, the last
episode coming up. He says, were you ever a fan
(29:02):
of the show? And did you ever appear on that
show or something like that show? Says our our guy
Reggie from Detroit. No, Reggie, I was never on Around
the Horn. I have seen the show. I stopped watching
it probably twenty years ago, maybe longer. The late great T. J. Simers,
(29:25):
who I got to know a lot. He was on
it when it started and it went away, it went away.
I just not it's not for me. I don't know who.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Your credits include a couple of appearances on America's Most
Wanted definitely and before that of course, and beat W
and BC.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
That's right, that's right now. I was on a show
that Max Kellerman hosted on Fox that no one remembers
called IMAX. I was a guest on I Max with Michael.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
I do that does sound familiar?
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Actually, yeah, I did a guest spot. It was funny
because I was on there the episode I was on.
Jason Whitlock was on, he was a guest on that,
but it was Max Kellerman hosted it with this guy
named Michael Holly, who is a Boston sports media personality.
So I was on that, But no, I was never
on Around the Horn. I haven't watched it in years,
(30:26):
And I did see the story on Your Your Boy
Clay's website that they said the ESPN canceled even though
Around the Horn got good ratings, they canceled it because
they couldn't get the people to focus on sports without
making like whack of doodle comments about politics and ideology
(30:47):
and things like that. So I thought that was kind.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Of amusing that you lose, yeah, because if you were
the winner, you had screen time and you could talk
about whatever you wanted, right.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Yeah, And they go on rants and that you talk
about easy money. And I don't know how much they're
making now, but from what I heard from the late
great TJ. Seimers, they would pay those people on that show,
like I think it was seven seven hundred and fifty
dollars a day minimum for a thirty minute show, an
ensemble cast, and you're only on there for you know,
(31:19):
maybe ten minutes at the most or something like that
where you're actually happing.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Got some easy money right there.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
And that was money. You know, it's probably gone up,
I would imagine it.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Sure, it's double that at least.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
All right. I think that's enough, Danny. We got stuff
to do. I'll be back tonight.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
With the you've been You sounded like you bummed yourself
out thinking of other people's money there.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Oh yeah, no, no, it's fine. Good for them. I'm happy,
you know. Anyway, Don't think about the money, Dandy. Don't
touch the money. It's not your money, daddy.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
No man.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Hey, every week going into the radio shows, I pretend
like I have a callin Cowherd contract, because if you
go about your business that way, someday you will have
that contract.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Well, we have the same platform he has. He just
has a lot more money. Good for him. But yes,
And the great thing about it is for people that
love Danny g and people that like what we know
I do, were more important than Coward. For people that
like us.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
Thank you to everybody for downloading, and then do us
one favor. Just send the podcast to one family member
or one friend before the weekend is over.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah, help us out, get those numbers up and keep growing.
The family will grow to the family. I'll be back
tonight on the radio after well, the game sevens earlier,
but I'll be on after away after Game seven between
the Nuggets and the Thunder today, and then we'll have
the Conference finals all set and I'll be on at
two am Monday morning in the East, eleven pm tonight
(32:57):
Sunday night in the West. A full week of new
shows talking sporty stuff and whatever else pops up and Danny,
what's your schedule this week? Normal or somewhat normal?
Speaker 4 (33:09):
Somewhat normal Monday through Thursday, it'll be the usual afternoon
drive time for Cavino and Rivitch. But on Friday we
will be in again for the great Dan Patrick outstanding.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
So enjoy that Cavino and Rich with Danny and you
got me on the overnight show, and we thank you
guys for listening here and love and enjoy the Game seven. Yeah,
looking forward to that. Hopefully we got some good stuff
to talk about from that game and then the Conference
Finals this week and upward and onward. We'll talk to
you next time later, skater, what's that, Dan? I didn't
(33:41):
hear you.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
What Danny later, excavator, 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 sol fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
rich pill poppers.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
In the penthouse.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Wow to clearinghouse of hot takes, break free for something special.
The Fifth Hour with Ben Mahller starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
In the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Mahler and Danny g Radio a Happy Sunday to you.
Game seven in the NBA, the last game of the
conference finals, the final piece to the puzzle.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
The two best words in all of sports.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
They try not to f it up. Oklahoma City at
home against the Denver Nuggets. I just want a more
competitive game than we got back on Friday night when
the Knicks led by as many as forty one points
and absolutely vaporize the Celtics. So I just want a
game that's within within six points going to the fourth quarter.
I want a game with five minutes to go in
(01:12):
the game. That's anyone's game. That's what I want. And
let's see who does not ride the vomit comet who
rises to the occasion. That would be wonderful. That's what
I would like to see. Well I get that, probably
not well, we probably won't get it, but I'd like
I'd like that to happen. That would be very cool
for a game seven to come down to the very end.
(01:34):
It is National No Dirty Dishes Day today, so celebrate appropriately.
And a fun fact on that the beginning of porcelain
plates six hundred a d. Chinese porcelain plates. The Chinese
started making porcelain in six hundred a d. And it
(01:57):
wasn't until the seventeen hundreds. Seventeen oh eight the process
of making pottery was discovered by some dude in Germany
and that led to the creation of European pottery. So
they stole it from the Chinese and they then made
the European pottery and it wasn't for another one hundred
and fifty something years after that. The paper plate was
(02:21):
invented in eighteen sixty seven. So just think in the
Middle Ages they didn't have paper plates. And in the
Middle Ages, Nanny, they didn't know they were in the
Middle Ages. They just thought they were just living their life.
They didn't realize it was the Middle Ages. They had
no idea.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
You got to argue.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Two paper plates one of the best inventions ever, because
that's what can keep your stink dish free.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, I'm the dishwasher. I don't mind. I do complain
to my wife sometimes because I tell her when she's
cooking and we split the cooking. But when she's cooking,
she thinks she's a television chef. You know, on television, Danny,
they don't worry about dirty dishes because someone else does
the dishes. So they'll do seven to eight plates, you know,
(03:06):
silverware up the wazoo. They don't give a crap. They
don't give a crap. So the the top two dishes,
little little dirty dish trivia for you, Danny.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Top two dishes Americans eat to avoid doing dishes. One
of them is.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Obvious, Yeah, obviously pizza because you eat it with your hands.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Exactly pizza. What's number two, though, udeo hot dogs, no
French fries. French fries is not followed by chicken wings, tacos,
and hamburger. So those hot dog only got two percent
of the vote. I don't know why one we get
(03:48):
two percent of the vote. Egg roll got more of
the vote. Egg roll Burrito's on here. Burrito makes sense?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yeah, I think.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
I think hot dog and hamburger homemade dinners were more
of a thing back in the eighties and nineties when
we were kids. Nowadays, people aren't big on giving their
kids hot dogs unless you're at a ballgame. People who
are more into the what are the healthy, grilled, salthier items?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah, do you know what's in a hot dog? You
want to hear how they're made? Shut up, stop ruining everything.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I hate to tell you everything you eat is going
to kill you. So anyway, all right, we have the
mail bag, Danny, are you prepared for the mail bag?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Let's go.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
It's this bag, all right?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Thank you? Ohio.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
These are actual letters by actual listeners. If you'd like
to send a letter in for a future mail bag,
you can do that care of Real fifth Hour at
gmail dot com. That's all letters, no numbers, Real fifth
Hour at gmail dot com. That's Real fifth Hour at
gmail dot com. First one is from Steve in van mccouver.
(05:11):
It says, Hey, Ben and Danny, I'm excited for the
Mallar meet and greet. Do you have any idea how
many people are going to be there. No, I have
no I don't know if anyone's gonna show up. I
have no idea. As I always say Danny, with these
Mallard meet and greets, you go in hoping a lot
of people show up. You never know whether there's five people,
two people, three people, fifty people, one hundred people. Whoever
(05:34):
shows up will have a good time. We'll have fun.
That's coming up in Oh my god, what do we
eleven days away from the Malor meet and greet. It's
on Thursday, May twenty ninth at the court Side on Main.
We talked about this on the podcast. I did a
little video on the Instagram and the Facebook pages of
the show, so if you want to check that out
(05:55):
on the Graham which is Ben Malor on Fox and
Facebook Ben mal Show. So I have no idea how
many people are gonna be there. I know I'll be there,
Lorena Coop will be there. We're gonna have a great time.
We'll be there from seven to ten at the court
Side on Maine and Vancouver. And I want to thank
Nico again for putting that together. But I really don't
(06:17):
I have nobody. We don't have a list to any
there's no RSVP. People don't sign up to show up.
And even when people say they're gonna be there, like
I've had a bunch of email from people say oh, yeah,
I'm gonna be there, stuff happens. You got stuff going
on in your life. Sometimes you say you're gonna be somewhere,
you don't show up.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
So just make sure you tell Lorena to bring an
empty suitcase with her so she could bring all her
gifts back home.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Well I'm not getting she'll get everything. Yeah,
I got it. Without Lorena, we wouldn't get any mail
on Fox Sports Radio. Next up, Tony and the Bay Right.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Now, I made you a mug and pottery class.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Tony the Bay says, Hey, Ben and Danny those years
the Rams were in Saint Louis, were you ever a
Bears fan? And if not, why the fuck not? As
Tony the Bay and Danny G Radio, have you ever
disowned a team? Now, Tony's a big Chicago Bears fan, Tony,
I was not a Chicago Bears fan. Well, technically I
(07:12):
was not a Bears fan. There were points I was
a Bears fan because when the Rams left to go
to Saint Louis what I did. My move, I'd pivoted.
I said, Okay, I'm going to be a fan of
no team, but I'll be a fan of every team.
And what I mean by that is, I will just
base this off my money who I'm betting on and
for that particular game, that's who I'm pulling for. So
(07:34):
in a way, I was a Bears fan Tony, although
not someone with merch and all that stuff. Now, Danny,
you just experienced a few years ago the Raiders relocating.
But you went to a Raider game in Vegas last year,
So I'm going to assume the position that you've never
left a team behind, You've never disowned a team. Is
(07:55):
that accurate?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
That's accurate. Never.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
And the thing is, we knew Vegas was gonna be
like a West Coast hub for the Raiders because how
many Raider fans really lived in the city of Oakland.
A ton of Raider fans all throughout the West Coast.
That's why it was okay when the Raiders moved.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Okay, fair enough. I was on a flight from l
A to actually from the Burbank Airport to to Oakland
when the Raiders, when they left LA to go back
to Oakland. Yeah, I was on a Southwest flight and
it was nothing but Raider fans, including the guy the
(08:36):
at the time, he was like the most famous Raider fan,
the black dude that wore the shoulder pads with the spikes.
You know, the guy.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
You know, I'm talking about Violator.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
I don't remember his name, but yeah, his.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Name is Violator. He's still he's still. Uh he has
tickets from Vegas. Yeah, he's in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Well I was on a plane with him and to
There was a Raiders Seahawk game in Oakland at the
Colisseum there, and I remember that was like, that was
the guy. I remember remember other famous I guess famous
Raider fans, but that was the one that was on it,
so you've not just on it.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
There were such fun flights Bend because you could feel
the excitement on the plane. It was such a game
day feeling, even when you were high in the sky
and a lot of a lot of the passengers were
high from drinking before they even got on the plane.
But I remember not only the drinking and the party
atmosphere on the plane, but one guy walked on with
his one carry on item and it was a Weber
(09:30):
barbecue grill in its box.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
That's great.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
It was obviously planning on barbecuing in the you know,
the Colisseum's parking lot prior to the game, even though
he was flying up.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Yeah. My memory of that is not only the violator
guy and just nothing but raider fans, but even the
flight crew at Southwest. They would get on the PA
and they would in There was like rhythmic chanting on
the plane. Like the people, the flight attention.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Yes, they were into it.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
They were like, this is fun.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Yeah time.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I remember the flight attendant would get on the intercom
and lead the raids.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah, it was pretty cool. And I'm not a raider
fan or anything like that, but it was fun. It
was a great environment. And then the raiders will go
out and lose, but it was a fun environment. You know,
people were into it.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
How dare you actually? Ben?
Speaker 4 (10:17):
I got to see the Gruden years and the rich
Gannon years, so there was some winning, even though there
was a lot of losing leading up to that.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
All right. Next up, Mark from Venice rites in and says, hey,
Ben and Danny. President Trump took some shots of celebrities
this week, which one is more accurate? It says Mark
from Venice, I love the podcast yet, and then he says,
I guess Trump called Bruce Pringsteen a dried out prune
and Taylor Swift no longer hot. Uh. Yeah, that's political,
(10:48):
mom man, that's the third rail.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Mom man.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Let's see here now, Taylor Swift, Danny is not my
type of woman.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Per se.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I feel like she needs to eat more food.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Yeah, she's not voluptuous enough.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Exactly, so she's that. I don't think she was ever
really hot to me, you know, but that's a lot
of people think she's beautiful and wonderful and all that.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
So you don't like to floss your teeth with your women.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
No, I want to no. Uh.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
And I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I Bruce Springsteen. I like some of his old music,
but I don't I have not seen him in a
long time. I don't know he's old. How old is
Bruce Springsteen?
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Is he in his eighties?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
He's got to be in his eighties.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
He's one hundred and five.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, so he probably is a dried out prune, I
would think, right, because I don't know. I mean, you
get old, that's what happens. You know, if you're lucky
enough to get old, if you're blessed enough to get old,
your kind.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Of things just kind of So yeah, I know he's
on a summer tour, so he's still old enough. I mean,
he's still young enough, I should say, to do his thing.
But good, let's look that up Springsteen.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
What do you guess?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I think he's like eighty one.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
I'll go eighty one. Yeah, he's got it. He's got
to be getting up there, got oh seventy five?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Really? Oh man? All right, all right, take that back.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I guess because he's wrinkled up, he looks older.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Yeah. I love like guys like Mark and Venice, who
said these like, what do you expect me to say?
I don't know. I Trump's just trying to get in
the headlines because he knows as you're talking about this,
you're not talking about something else he's doing. So it's
it's the oldest trick in the book. Tie from l
Passo writes in and says, Ben, I know you had
an incident years ago with Justin Bieber. Do you feel
bad for the Beabes based on the story this week
(12:31):
about him almost going broke? No, I don't. I don't
give a listen the fact that Bieber's.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Suldn't that your boy though? Didn't you hang with him
at a Clippers game back in the day.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I was a Laker game and his hoodie touched my
arm justin Bieber's hoodie touched my arm. Was a Laker
Rockets game at Staples and a couple of his security
goons were leading him out to his front row seat
at Staples Center. It was his call back then and beebes.
He had a hoodie on, probably because he had just
come from a freak off with Diddy and he was
(13:06):
he was walking with his head down and the front
of the cootie hit my my. It was my left arm.
My Elwow.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Yeah, Well, clearly his downward spiral rubbed off on you.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
How dare you? I don't know what you're talking about.
You've seen my paycheck, so yeah, I don't. What do
you want to say?
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Ty? I mean?
Speaker 1 (13:27):
So he was almost broke. The story was he was
this week day, he was almost broke, and then he
sold his music catalog for two hundred million dollars. So
I guess he's not broke. I guess he'll be okay.
Jack from he says, Jack not in the box from
Baker's Field rights in. He says, Ben, I know you're
up on all the social media trends today, and I
(13:49):
know you're a big fan of mister Beast. Jack says,
from Bakersfield. Do you think mister Bee should have to
pay the people of Mexico for using the mayansight to
plug his candy?
Speaker 5 (14:03):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
So, Jack, I don't know much about this. I don't
do you know anything about this? Danny Soparently mister Beast
is an internet YouTube superstar, the rock star I guess.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
And oh yeah, he even has a popular TV show.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Now does he what channels it on?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
You have to look that up, but I know I've
seen it on one of the streaming services.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Okay, so this guy, Jack says, He says, mister Beast
has a candy and was using a Mayan site, and
now Mexico wants mister Beast to pay for using the
Mayan the Mayan set, I don't.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Know it's on Prime, so maybe it's not that popular.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Hello, it's not on Peacock like Penny versus the Penny.
Now that's no. I don't know much. I don't know
much about mister beast. I know he's got a lot
of money from what I've heard.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
So if he's got a ton of it and he
gives a ton of it away.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
More money, more problems. Is that what the song goes?
More money, more problem? So you have more money.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
He is the walking definition of you to spend money
to make money.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Okay, So what does Mexico want? I don't know what
they want. I don't really about it.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Jack, why you ask?
Speaker 4 (15:08):
And do you know that his net worth is five
hundred and fifty million dollars?
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Now?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
How how seriously? How good for him?
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
You want to trade you out?
Speaker 5 (15:22):
You knew?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
The Overnight show, Mike and Fullerton writes and says, hey, Bendon,
Danny g I've got a question. Inspired by the show's
newest breakout star, Royal Flush Charlie. Charlie and Dallas, of course,
is the guy that Mike is referencing. He's got Royal
Flush Charlie is the nickname also the Dallas Dumper from
his propensity to do the show. Call the show from
the bathroom, he says, how much time do you spend
(15:45):
on the John? Are you a get in, get out
kind of guy? Or do you take your time like Charlie.
Hopefully my question doesn't scare off any of the few
die hard female fans of the Fifth Hour. And that
is from Mike in Fullerton. Yeah, I'm getting get out guy.
You know, do what you gotta do and make sure
(16:08):
to flush flushy, flushy, very important. And then I do
like the toilet. We have a high end tushy toilets
Danny with the water, so that does make the toilet
experience a more enjoyable experience. But yeah, I don't spend it.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
That sounds cold. Do you have like a temperature gauge
on the water?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
It's room temperature water. It's fine, it's not I would
want that warm. No, no, you don't want it one
that would burn very important regions of the body. You
want it room temperature.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
You want a very European of you.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Listen some things they do right, relegation and water in
your took us that those two things they.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Do want a shower or a bath. It's for I
don't want water constantly spranging. I want anything, But.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
No, it's not constantly spraying.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Number one.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Number two. You can adjust it to how you want it.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
What do you mean it's not constantly sprang what is
it a trickle?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Well, no, no, no, I'm saying, when you do what
you have to do, you here.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Means then it's a blast, right I know that.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Oh no, no, okay, see going, but how long does it?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
How long does it blast you?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
As long as you want. There's a there's this thing.
You twist it and it turns the water on and
it sprays right, and you took us right the dirty
part and it cleans to the dirt, away the poopy.
Oh man, okaymi, And then you turn the water off
and then you you're supposed to make sure you do
a follow up. There's one wipe to follow up.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
You get to go. You don't have a toddler running
around your mansion obviously if you did.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
If you did, your bathroom would be your fortress, it
would be your solace. So when I go in there,
I bring my phone, make sure it's charged, and I
do a lot of show prep for the Covino and
Rich show.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yeah. See yeah, well if I if I had that situation,
I would likely do the same thing. But I hang
out with Moxy. You know. Week it's pretty much me
and the dog. The wife's at work and she works
at night, so's she leaves for work before I do,
So I'm just kind of hanging out and whatever. You
go in there, get done, move on moving the next thing.
But great question, my really deep that one thing on
(18:15):
a Sunday.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Ben, you've a ball. Back in the day it was
freak offs and now it's poop offs.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Well, listen, baby oil is a great probably Joe from Brooklyn. Hello,
Joe from Brooklyn rights and says Ben and Danny daddy
g He says, I heard Ben you talking about Moxie
on the show.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
The other day.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
What do you think about the story this week that
one in seven dog owners would dump their partner to
extend their dog's life by three years, says Joe. One
of seven people are with someone they should not be with.
Danny's that seems like that's what that means, right.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
Yeah, that in the new phenomenon in the past decade
or so where people treat it well, probably twenty years now,
if not twenty five, were people call their pets their
babies and their children and they push them around in strollers.
Back in the day, when Paris Hilton treated their dogs
like that, people laughed. But now you see regular people
(19:15):
on the street treating their animals that way.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Yeah, it's a little much. Yeah, I love Moxie Joe,
and Moxie's my pal. And but Maxi's a dog. Maxie
licks its ass, you know. I mean, what do you
want me to do?
Speaker 4 (19:28):
I mean, Dan, I'm a donkey mom, or what did
the lady say? A lady called Kovino and Rich last
week and complained because Rich was going in on people
that are a little too close to their pets. And
she said, I am a cat mom and I don't
care if you don't like that term. And Rich was like, well,
that's fine, but they're not the same as children. She's
(19:51):
like to me, it is my child, And so he
got some blowback on that.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yeah, it is fun doing a national show and having
the random not in the demo listener call up and
start attacking you for something. One of my favorite memories
of that this goes back twenty years and there was
some political something in the Middle East that was going
(20:17):
on twenty years ago, and I remember what it was.
But this old woman from somewhere in the northeast, somewhere
in the New England States called up and was on
hold for a long time. Because she didn't have anything
to say, and she was not in the demo, and
she was on hold, and then she got on the
air and she's she's like ripping. She takes a shot
(20:40):
at Fox News right and hangs up, not realizing we're
not Fox News right. She's like all upset. It was
like it was the funniest thing. I still remember, We're
not even related. We work for iHeart Medias who we
worked for. That's the parent company that we have to
deal with on a regular.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
I heeart that it's nothing to do with Fox Corporation.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Not at all. No, no, no, all right, yeah, so
I thank you for the story, Joe. By the way,
Joe says, millennials are the ones that are most likely
to dump their their significant other for a dog. Alf
from the Mass Mutual Center rights and as I sat
through my son's college graduation ceremonial, the congratulations little baby,
(21:25):
Alf all grown up? How about you? Alf says As
I sat through my son's college graduation ceremony, I couldn't
help but think of the following question. Would you guys
take a do over and go back to college and
into the job market intoday's market, says Alf. Yeah, unless
(21:45):
I knew the knowledge I have now, and if I
could go back and do it all over again with
knowledge that I've gained through my life, that would be
kind of cool.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
I wouldn't want to redo that part of life. What
I would want to redo are a couple of those
program director jobs I had because much like you, I
don't play the game. I didn't play the game where
you should be buddies with your bosses and go drinking
with some of the people you work with. I was
so focused on the actual radio station that I didn't
(22:17):
hobnob enough.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
I think that's the word.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Yeah, And so if I could go back and just
have a little bit more fun and enjoy things and
maybe and not kissing ass necessarily. But like I didn't
even go to station events or like people's you know,
parties that they would throw and they would invite everybody
from work. I would never even attended things like that.
(22:40):
Anti social I think.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Yeah, yeah, I hear you, I hear you. There's some
some things that I in the multiverse. I like, what
would have happened. I interviewed with TMZ Sports in twenty
oh nine. I was about to be hired. They were
going to launch TMZ Sports. I was wondering what would
have happened if that had taken off they had hired me,
And then famously was also around that time, I somewhere
(23:08):
in that period, there was like two or three years there.
I went, I went to Bristol, Connecticut, met with the
ESPN executives there, and I was about to be hired there,
and then that didn't work out. So like there's a
couple of things that happened where I was like, I
don't know if that would have I don't think I
really fit ESPN per se would you look at things
like that? But I'm happy. I think we're pretty lucky.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Danny.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
We got in before the everyone's got a podcast era.
You know, you actually had to earn it to get
on the radio, and it meant something. It was meaningful.
You know, you can just anybody could get a podcast
and do that. You had to. You had to work
your way up, and that was kind of cool, you know.
I think I think that's a yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
And we were both with the network before it became
the number one sports network in the country.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Yeah, yeah, that's I have fond memories of being on
Fox Sports Radio in Binghamton, New York and Pitts in
a couple other cities, and we were like the fourth
sports network in the country, and now we're at the top.
Nick in Wisconsin rights in, thanks, alf, I hope your
son does well. I want know what your son majored in.
Nick in Wisconsin says Ben and Danny. We just had
(24:16):
our second tornado warning in the last few weeks as
I write this, which is rare in west central Wisconsin.
Nick says, do either of you believe that the government
has weather controlling technology and is using it to bend
the American people to its will? Let's go coast to
(24:37):
coast on this Sunday fun day. Yeah, So, I totally
believe that technology is out there, and if the technology
is out there, then the government has access to it.
I absolutely believe that. And we know that the technology
is out there because in the Middle East they have
been fussing around with us. Didn't they have big floods
(24:57):
because they messed it up? Was it last year or
two years ago? Remember they had the big floods of
places that they don't really get a lot of rain.
They were they were messing around seating clouds and coming
up with with rain and they got it wrong, and
there were there were like flash flood warnings in a
place that doesn't get much rain at all, and the
(25:19):
theory is that's because they were humanly manipulating the weather.
So I absolutely believe it's out there. And if it's
out there, the government's got their fingers in it.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
So I buy that. What about you, Danny, let me
ask you this. If you did, yeah, I know this
is on your bucket list. If you did get to
fill in for George Nori for a week Premiere Networks,
what do you think you would spend most of the
airtime talking about.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
I'd love to have a chance to fill in on
Coast to Coast. I would do remote viewing because I've
heard a lot about that recently, so I do remote
viewing UFOs.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
I could do like some Bigfoot stuff UFO and the
alien stuff has been in the news, and your theory
about there being a world underneath the ocean and the
sea and under mountains. Possibly we should get Nori back
on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
It's a great idea. We should track down Georgia and
I'm going to I'm going to be in Vancouver coming
up here in eleven days, so we're going to have
to do some some we call him Evergreen Ponds Danny
that will stand the test of time. So we'll have
to do an interview weekend of chit Chat while I'm
in Vancouver. So love to get George on and talk
(26:36):
about some of those amazing Coast to Coast topics which
are so good and really great on the podcast, because
you can listen to the overnight show Live Danny, and
then you can go back and hear the Coast to
Coast Podcast with our buddy, the great George Norri who's
been doing that for what thirty close to thirty years now.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Coast time now, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Been a long run for sure. Kwang from Vietnam says
Ben and Daddy G Radio instead of see you later, Alligator,
I think I found a new book for Daddy G
Radio to read, the baby CoA see you later, excavator.
Have you heard of that book? Danny?
Speaker 3 (27:19):
You know what's funny about that.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
There's a song that's been staying in me and my
better half brains and it's from Blippy.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Are you aware of who Blippy is?
Speaker 1 (27:29):
I am not aware of the magical ability of Blippy.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
No Blippy is this goofy dude there's actually two of
them that sort of look alike, and they pretend like
it's only one guy, so they take turns doing the show.
But Blippy wears a dumb hat and dumb glasses and
suspenders and a bow tie and pants that look a
little too tight, and he runs around like museums and
(27:53):
kids parks and playgrounds and things around the country that
would interest kids. He talks in a weird kind of
pee wee herman voice. It's somewhat educational, but kids have
gravitated towards this Blippy guy. He has a song that's
called the Excavator Song. He shows an excavator and the
(28:13):
song goes, I'm an excavator. And whenever CoA is dancing
around the living room listening to the Excavator song, Brendon
and I look at each other and we're like, we're
gonna be singing this stupid song to ourselves for the
next week.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yeah, that's that's a tough one. This book, though, it's
a real book. He sent me a quang sent me
a screenshot. See you later, excavator.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
I'm gonna look that up.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
You might have to get that for a little baby
cold for sure. Time for one or two more here
on the mail bag. Oh gotta get my guy Reggie
and Reggie from Detroit. This dude emails us every week
pretty much. He says, Ben, the show Around the Horn,
its final week is this week on ESPN, the last
episode coming up. He says, were you ever a fan
(29:02):
of the show? And did you ever appear on that
show or something like that show? Says our our guy
Reggie from Detroit. No, Reggie, I was never on Around
the Horn. I have seen the show. I stopped watching
it probably twenty years ago, maybe longer. The late great T. J. Simers,
(29:25):
who I got to know a lot. He was on
it when it started and it went away, it went away.
I just not it's not for me. I don't know who.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Your credits include a couple of appearances on America's Most
Wanted definitely and before that of course, and beat W
and BC.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
That's right, that's right now. I was on a show
that Max Kellerman hosted on Fox that no one remembers
called IMAX. I was a guest on I Max with Michael.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
I do that does sound familiar?
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Actually, yeah, I did a guest spot. It was funny
because I was on there the episode I was on.
Jason Whitlock was on, he was a guest on that,
but it was Max Kellerman hosted it with this guy
named Michael Holly, who is a Boston sports media personality.
So I was on that, But no, I was never
on Around the Horn. I haven't watched it in years,
(30:26):
And I did see the story on Your Your Boy
Clay's website that they said the ESPN canceled even though
Around the Horn got good ratings, they canceled it because
they couldn't get the people to focus on sports without
making like whack of doodle comments about politics and ideology
(30:47):
and things like that. So I thought that was kind.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Of amusing that you lose, yeah, because if you were
the winner, you had screen time and you could talk
about whatever you wanted, right.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Yeah, And they go on rants and that you talk
about easy money. And I don't know how much they're
making now, but from what I heard from the late
great TJ. Seimers, they would pay those people on that show,
like I think it was seven seven hundred and fifty
dollars a day minimum for a thirty minute show, an
ensemble cast, and you're only on there for you know,
(31:19):
maybe ten minutes at the most or something like that
where you're actually happing.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Got some easy money right there.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
And that was money. You know, it's probably gone up,
I would imagine it.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Sure, it's double that at least.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
All right. I think that's enough, Danny. We got stuff
to do. I'll be back tonight.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
With the you've been You sounded like you bummed yourself
out thinking of other people's money there.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Oh yeah, no, no, it's fine. Good for them. I'm happy,
you know. Anyway, Don't think about the money, Dandy. Don't
touch the money. It's not your money, daddy.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
No man.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Hey, every week going into the radio shows, I pretend
like I have a callin Cowherd contract, because if you
go about your business that way, someday you will have
that contract.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Well, we have the same platform he has. He just
has a lot more money. Good for him. But yes,
And the great thing about it is for people that
love Danny g and people that like what we know
I do, were more important than Coward. For people that
like us.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
Thank you to everybody for downloading, and then do us
one favor. Just send the podcast to one family member
or one friend before the weekend is over.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah, help us out, get those numbers up and keep growing.
The family will grow to the family. I'll be back
tonight on the radio after well, the game sevens earlier,
but I'll be on after away after Game seven between
the Nuggets and the Thunder today, and then we'll have
the Conference finals all set and I'll be on at
two am Monday morning in the East, eleven pm tonight
(32:57):
Sunday night in the West. A full week of new
shows talking sporty stuff and whatever else pops up and Danny,

Speaker 4 (33:09):

drive time for Cavino and Rivitch. But on Friday we
will be in again for the great Dan Patrick outstanding.
Speaker 1 (33:20):

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
