Kabooms. 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 sole fashion of fairness.
He treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as
the rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow. It's a
clearinghouse of hot takes. Break free for something special. The
(00:22):
Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the
air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny
g Radio eight days a week, four hours a night
on the overnight not and of course Danny hard at
work during the day most of the time on Fox
(00:44):
with Covino and Rich and we unite together on the
weekend to form Voltron here on the Fifth Hour. And
you can hear this where you found it on the
podcast format available on demand everywhere on the iHeartRadio app
wherever you get podcasts, including the Apple podcast page, which
(01:04):
is a big one for management types here in the company.
I wish I could pull off those suits we are
closing in. We will have an update on the number
of reviews. We need to get to four hundred before
we all die, so that would be the goal. On
this podcast, we've got party Hardy going to Hell in
(01:24):
a handbasket, backscratcher, and pop goes the culture. We'll get
right to it. So this is the Saturday podcast, The
Life of mallor Life of Danny g And so you
may be wondering what the hell's going on. Today's a
big day. I did not mention this in the Friday podcast,
but buckle up, buckaroo, because it is a big weekend.
(01:46):
You know what holiday is this weekend. I'm smiling with
my green teeth. Saint Patty's Day is a day to
have a party. So before I tell you what I've
got going about, my favorite memory of Saint Patrick's Day.
And I don't have a lot of Saint Patrick's Day memories,
(02:07):
but this goes way back in the hot tub time machine,
and it's one of those days I can still close
my eyes and visualize the room and the people in
the room. It's that vivid of memory. But it's the
nineteen nineties. I'm a young pup. I'm in viro Beach
at Dodger spring training. And this was in the days
(02:28):
when you didn't have seven thousand uniforms like they do
these days. In baseball. You wore your home whites in
your road grays, but you got a little frisky in
spring training. On Saint Patrick's Day, the Dodgers will wearing
green hats. And it was like, oh my god, the
Dodgers are wearing green what the you know, what the
hell is going on? So I happened to be in
(02:49):
a viro beach when this was going on, and so
they pulled out the green hats, which who cares whatever,
They did that every year. But then after the game
that night, they had a Saint Patrick's Day party in
the dodger Town restaurant bar that they had the commissary
and I got invited. So I was there. I was
at this party and it was the Saint Patrick's state
party at all the Irish food. But my memory, I
(03:11):
can still close my eyes and see this is Tommy Lasorda.
May he rest in peace. Let's just say Tommy might
have had a couple of pops. He might have been
enjoying it, and he was swimming in green beer. Tommy
was feeling no pain and he was wearing a leprechn
hat and he was It was so and so we
(03:33):
did our show. I was doing a local show in
La and so we were on really late on the
East coast, and so we got to go to the party.
And then after the party, one of the Dodger PR
people say, Hey, we're gonna get Lasorda on the show.
He's gonna come in. I was like, Oh, Tommy's gonna
come in at night to do this thing. And back
in those days, we didn't have access to record anything,
(03:54):
you know, it was not the setup was archaic. Today
you just recorded. But yeah, Tommy showed up late and
he was still wearing the Leprechaun hat. And in that
little small Dodgertown radio studio, which was really just a
broom closet, it was. It was priceless. And somewhere I
(04:14):
have a photo and I gotta find it. It's a
it's it's a polaroid. Not even if I don't know
as a polar it's it's a it's not a digital photo,
because that's how old. This is from a grow away camera.
Pretty much of Tommy. It was. It was so great,
and he was he was in rare form that night.
He knew how to put on a show, and he
(04:35):
was he was feeling no pain, and he was a jokester,
and he was going on and on it was. It
was really a fun memory that so that was my
big Saint Patrick's Day memory. Early on in our radio careers,
how cool were the Saint Patrick's Day radio station live
remotes and parties. I remember seeing the general manager slashed
(04:57):
the salespeople were drunk out of their mo I had
never seen a radio staff so drunk. And then fast
forward to a few years ago, me and my morning
show drank on Saint Patrick's Day. It was a great
show man. The listeners loved it. But I signed off
(05:18):
by saying, Happy Mother's Day. Make sure to call your mom.
And I'm not exaggerating. The very next work day, there
was a memo hanging up on the studio door saying
that alcohol was not allowed on the premises. That's great.
I remember the first guy. I don't know if I
(05:40):
should say his name, but we've had him on the podcast.
There was the first time I ever saw anybody drink
on the air, and I was like, WHOA, I didn't
know you could do that, you know, And I've only
been drunk on the air one time, and I don't
know that I'll tell the story right now, but as
somebody wants the story down the line, I'll tell the story.
But we had we had this guy in the podcast
(06:02):
and I would say, Dandy, one of the crazier people
that we've had on the podcast. And uh and he
was telling stories about being in a hotel room filled
with money and things like oh yeah yeah from the
super Bowl in Los Angeles. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. So
and I'll just say this and the listeners that know,
(06:24):
they'll know. But part of his on air stick was
he would pour glasses of alcohol or listeners who asked
for it. I'm a bit naive, Danny. I thought that
was just an act. I thought, oh, he's not really
new and maybe he didn't do it. Maybe it's just
this one night he happened. We were at a remote
at the National Sports Grill in Buena Park, which doesn't
(06:47):
exist these are, you know, years ago, and uh yeah,
we were all there. He was. He was going for it,
you know, and listeners were buying him drinks and he
was not rejecting any of them. He was, you know,
why not. But as far as Saint Patty's Day, fast
forwarding up from the olden days and it's party hardy time.
(07:09):
Benny the Baker has been activated as my wife. We
have some some in laws, my wife's family coming in
from Nashville actually, and some other places. And so we're
getting how much family do you guys have? I don't know.
I don't have my family. Well, my family's spread out.
A lot of them are dead. And then she's got
(07:30):
a lot of family, and they're like, they're mostly here,
but there's some in New Mexico, some in Nashville, her
side of the family. So my family's mostly in like
New York, some in Chicago. Phoenix, right, Phoenix is a
big mallor hub, Florida. They're spread out Denver. I got family.
(07:54):
It's all over the damn country anyway. So so this
party where she's throwing it, and I'm the Benny the Baker.
So here's what I've been up to over the last
couple of days. I have made and this is sitting
in my refrigerator. I have I've activated Benny Baker, and
I'm taking care of all the sweets, so all the desserts,
(08:15):
and I have made a bunch of bakery style gooey
chocolate chip cookie dough, Mama's favorite oatmeal raisin cookie. I
think you had yeah, those are good. Those are really good.
And my newest crumble style cookies. So I've got three
different style of cookies. But it's gonna take forever to
(08:36):
bake these, so I gotta get them all done before
the party starts. I'm gonna have over like seventy cookies,
probably close to one hundred cookies, which means I'm gonna
have to bring the leftovers into work so Roberto and
Coop and the guys can can have somebody. Yeah. I
probably made like way too many, but the leftovers I
get to eat. I could eat as many as I want.
And you know, my wife gets to have another social
(08:58):
butterfly event and all that. And so that's the way
that is day. And so that's that's what I'll be
up to today that the parties actually today, And because
I gotta work Sundays a school day, I gotta work
Sunday night in the monday, and so I'll be watching
college basketball, baking watching on my phone. So I do it.
And that's the plan. So we got to turn this
(09:19):
into an official side hustle for you, because I'm not
kidding here. Those cookies are good enough to where you
could package those and have some kind of Mallard logo
and sell them. It's a great idea. I would love
to do it. I do enjoy baking, which I wish
my I didn't really get into this till my mom
had passed away. I wish he was kind of still around,
just like I said, hey, mom, look at me now,
(09:40):
you know. But she loved the bake crab. When I
was a kid, my mom was always it's probably it's
so fat because my mom was cooking like brownies and cookies,
and your mom could help you push it. We could
have called it Mallard's Mama and Mallar's mama. There you go,
There you go, daddy. So that was that. That's what
we're up to today, party hardy. Yeah we are not.
(10:03):
I don't think going to hell in a handbasket. I
don't think we are. I had to look that phrase up.
My grandma used to say that back in the day,
this country is going to hell in a handbasket. I
looked it up right now. In the nineteenth century, the
phrase was associated with the American gold rush of the
eighteen forties, where men were lowered by hand in baskets
(10:25):
down mining shafts to set explosives which could have deadly consequences.
Oh that's great. So it's a wherever you were going
down and you might meet your demise. You're going to
hell in a hand a handbasket. Awesome. I didn't know that.
I didn't know that either. That's right, that's pretty cool.
So I don't mean for this to be two weekends
(10:47):
in a row of dumping on a city in California.
But but Ben, we went to Santa Barbara just on
a day trip last Sunday, made reservations to go to
the little Zoo there. Yeah, as we're walking in, there
is a homeless guy, like a sleep right in front
(11:09):
of the turnstile. Wow, oh my, oh my gosh. I
mean we had to step over this homeless guy to
get to get into the zoo. And I told my girl,
I was like, wow, I mean way high on State
Street here, there was a little bit of homelessness going on.
(11:29):
But holy crap, I've never seen it like this in
this city. One kid that might turn out to be
homeless someday was outside of where the Lions were. He's
the he's in the minor league system to be homeless. Yes,
because the Lion and the lions on this beautiful sunny
sunday where the rain had taken a little break. They
(11:52):
were both laying out in front of everybody on the rocks,
and then the lion s jumps down and she's running
around in the yard. And this kid, I'm not kidding you,
third fourth grade probably yells to the rest of his family, Hey,
come over here, there's some sort of animal running around
in the yard here. Well, he's not wrong. It was
(12:14):
an animal, you know, it's a sort of animal. And
I'm I'm sort of animal. And my wife he was like,
this third fourth grader doesn't know what the fuck a
lion is. Isn't that one of the first animals you're talking? God? Yeah, like,
(12:36):
at least you know lion or tiger. At least you
should know. I mean, my god, that's that's so. Say
I've not been to the Santa Barbara Zoo. Is it
worth my time? I don't recall being at the Santa
Barbara Zoo. Yeah. I think it is because it's the
perfect zoo trip. You could be in and out of
that zoo in ninety minutes. Okay, So it's a quick, small,
(12:58):
little exactly, and they have this little train you can
take the little train around the zoo, which is kind
of cool. And there's not a lot of animals there,
but the animals they do have are cool. And they
have a new attraction, wallabies, and you can walk right
up to them. You can't touch them, but you literally
walk right up to them and look at them. So
(13:20):
it's a cool little zoo. We get out of there,
and now we go down to the beach, all right,
and the beach in Santa bar is beautiful, beautiful, a
little boardwalk down there where the restaurants and all. That's wonderful.
But as my grandma would say, it has gone to
hell in a handbasket. Oh really, because everywhere you walk,
(13:41):
everywhere you step, there are homeless people. Now, as you know,
this has become a huge problem in the state of California,
especially with a lot of the beach cities. There are
homeless people with homemade shelters, pushing not just push in carts.
There were several guys who passed us where they had
(14:03):
a train of carts connected to each other. They're recreating
the zoo train, is what they're doing. The only thing
missing were sled dogs. Okay, and we are just like wow,
like we were amazed at how many carts. We're now
on Lower State Street where it's the newer construction where
(14:25):
we ate at a place called Phinnies, which is a
nice bar slash restaurant. We're eating outside on the front porch,
and you know, we're laughing. We're eating our Phinnis is
known for like they're they're really good pretzel and the
different dips. Okay, we had the pretzel as the appetizer.
(14:45):
And then I see my girl with just a stunn
to look on her face, and I turned and looked
to my left. There's a homeless guy who has walked
up to the restaurant front porch. He's reaching over the
gate and the people who left the table next to us.
He is helping himself the lemonade on the table, drinking
(15:09):
the lemonade that was left on the table. I mean,
we've never seen anything like that. Yeah, this guy's just
like sampling what people left on their table. Do you
never used to see that in the city of Santa Barbara.
The hotel by the way, we wound up staying on
Sunday night, and you know from experience, those hotels are
(15:31):
hundreds and hundreds of dollars and now you're stepping over
homeless people to get into your room. Yeah, well that's
that's on the politicians and not and not making enough priority.
But you let a few, you know people, I know
people are down their luck and all that, but you gotta,
you know, for the people to pay taxes in the city.
You can't be doing that. That's no way to do it. Now.
(15:53):
The other way to get rid of the homeless people
is go to Wisconsin where it's cold and there's no
there's very few homeless people there because they're not out
and about because the weather's not not conducive to that.
But man, I've been on State Street a bunch in
Santa Barbara and I've always seen a few homeless people,
but not from what you describe, not that many people
(16:13):
more now more plan this place Phinnies, is that what
you call never I'm looking at the menu here, Oh,
you would love Phinnis really good food. My kind of place.
They got prime ribbed cheese, steak, capastrami rubin. I mean,
these are things I would be into. But you said
the pretzels are the way to go there. The appetizer
that we always get is the pretzel, their tacos, their
(16:35):
fish tacos are really good. Even you know when a
place is good when even their salads are delicious. Yeah,
I mean, I'm looking it all looks like my kind
of stuff. I'll have to remember because Santa Barbara's kind
of hitting miss. The problem with Santa Barbara for me
is it's not open late. I'm you know, a lot
of stuff closes early. It's I feel like they're in Hawaii.
Everything closes early there. They just opened up a Finney's
(16:57):
location in Burbank, in Burbon, Burbank. I'm old enough to
remember when we're going to move studios to Burbank. Man,
I feel bad for the people that are down on
their luck and are you know, setting up spots to
sleep and all that, and not to lower our overall rating.
But how does California fix that? Because now it went
(17:21):
from something you'd see a little bit too, something that's
taken over entire cities. Yeah. Well, the economy sucks for
a lot of people, so that's part of the problem.
But the people make bad decisions and they have bad
luck or a combination of both things. But I know
the way not to fix it is to hand them money.
I know that's not the way to fix it. That's people. Oh,
(17:43):
you're supposed to just give out money, but then that
just creates more more of an issue. Yeah. This guy,
by the way, after he tasted the lemonade, he set
it back down and he walked away, and my girl
told me she and I didn't I hadn't thought of it.
She said, I think he was checking it to see
if it was alcohol. It's probably bummed out. He's like, yeah,
(18:04):
he took one drink, set it down, and then left.
And I was like, well, he must have been thirsty,
and she's like, no, I think he was checking to
see if it was a mixed drink. And when he
tasted it and there was no alcohol, he's like, oh
fuck this place. And he moved on. And she's like,
that's why I would rather give somebody like that food
(18:26):
rather than money, because he would just go get alcohol. Yeah. Yeah,
the last call for alcohol. Man. This this kind of
reminds me about It's not the same, but remember that
story in La that one of the homeless compounds in
skid Row. I don't even know it was in skid Row.
I think it was under one of the freeways and this.
(18:47):
This guy had like the penthouse of homeless setups. He
had a hot tub. Do you remember this? I do
remember that the guy had a freaking hot tub and
in his tent thing. And it was like he was
like the king of the skid row, like the boss,
because he went all out, man alive, All right, backscratcher,
Let's move on, backscratcher, And let's see here. Did we
(19:11):
get any reviews this week? Danny? Last week we were
shut out? Oh yeah, then there's got to be at
least five this week? Or who who? But it's a
good one. Senior Suave rights and he says five stars.
You guys are all over the place with your non
(19:33):
sports topics, but the Dandy g Show featuring Penn Maller
definitely rates five stars. The microphone throttler as long as
the insufferable gas can isn't there to ruin the chemistry. Wow,
shots fired from the senior Suave. Who are we supposed
to do a herd O sports podcast, Danny? Are we
(19:54):
making a mistake not doing a herd O sports podcat?
That would be boring? I think we talk the perfect
amount of sports on this podcast. None, No, very little,
very little? Uh, so what is next here? By the way,
that that is, we are fourteen reviews away now from
the magic four hundred. We love round numbers, so we
(20:15):
need fourteen more reviews and then we are bank Bank,
Chicken and trim. We've got pop goes the culture and
that means our man ohio, awoo, Okay, we'll do a
(20:40):
few of these. We don't have tons of time, but
this one I thought would resonate with you, Danny. I'm
not sure if you saw this or not. It involves
something that has not happened in thirty five years. It
involves music, and I was I did a double take
on this, but then it made sense when you take
(21:01):
a couple of steps back. Vinyl records, Oh yeah, beat
Out CDs have outsold scenes for the first time in
thirty five years because of all the retro the retro
players that are people aren't really buying. Who's buying CDs?
These does all those still cars that have CD players.
But I did see this and I paid attention to
(21:24):
it for the exact reason you just mentioned. Vintage vinyl
is super popular right now. In fact, our middle child
I bought him bluetooth turntable and for one of the holidays.
Last year I got him a record, a rap record,
vinyl for a current artist he likes. You should have
(21:45):
saw him holding this piece of vinyl, like wow, and
kids they're amazed by vinyl records, which is very cool.
Now you mentioned CDs. Some cars still have CD players,
but the newer car, like the one I just got
ripped off for, doesn't even have a CD player. Yeah,
(22:06):
some of the new cars they've changed. Some of them
don't even AM radio. They've gotten rid of the AM
band and there's stupid. Yeah, there's a pushback that Tesla's
some of the electric cars don't have the AM band anymore.
But there are there are people in the governments like,
you gotta have AM band in this case of an emergency,
you need to have it, And so they're trying to
make sure that that they're gonna put some kind of
(22:28):
tape in their emergencies. And AM sports talk radio, it's
very important. The AM sports talk radio is the most
important thing on the radio. So as far as the
vinyl though, this is my parents had a record player
when I was a kid, and they had a bunch
of vinyl records, and occasionally me and my brothers would
(22:49):
use them as frisbees and throw them, throw them around
the house, not realizing that some of those things were
worth a decent amount of money, churning the page on
pop goes the culture about this one, a tech tycoon
has been called out on social media. He was flying.
This guy's like a gazillionaire. He was flying on a plane,
(23:11):
I think it was a Delta flight, and somebody on
the flight had a mask on. So this guy decided
he was going to play out the Magic Christian, that
famous story that I've talked about in that book. And
he offered this woman who was wearing her mask. He said, listen,
(23:31):
if you take the mask off it was a delta flight,
for the full flight, I'll give you a hundred thousand
dollars one hundred thousand dollars of cash money. Wow. And
you know what the woman did. She turned down the money. Yeah,
(23:52):
she turned down one hundred thousand dollars. This guy, his
name is Steve Kurse. She can look him up. He
is a Silicon Valley veteran. He is credited with one
of the first versions of the optical mouse back in
nineteen eighty. Wow. Yeah. His net worth over two hundred
(24:15):
million dollars, and he later he co founded a tech company.
I got this whole bio on this on this cat.
He co founded a tech company which was bought by
Adobe in nineteen ninety five, and then created a search
(24:36):
engine which was sold to Disney in nineteen ninety nine.
So this guy's had like three major things in tech
where he's cashed in. But that's the story of the
Magic Christian. It's a family. It made some movies. It's terrible,
but that everyone's got their price. And it was like
this rich guy who just wanted to see, you know,
he had ridiculous money. And he's like, all right, let's
(24:59):
see what we can do with this money. Right, Let's see,
you know, I can get people to do things they
would never do with the money. And that woman, I
don't know who this woman is, but she turned out
one hundred thousand. But at some point there would have
been a price point she would have agreed to. The
guy said, here's what he wrote on social media, said,
I'm on board a Delta flight right now. The person
(25:21):
sitting next to me in first class just refused one
hundred thousand dollars to remove her mask for the entire flight.
He said, no joke. This was after I explained they
don't work, and then and then he said, she works
for a pharma company, So that did she think Stars
was on board? I know, I know it's just nuts, man,
(25:44):
but people are people have been. Maybe she thought he
was kidding or something like that. Maybe that was it.
People that are there hard up for the mask. So
they have convinced they bought into the initial dogma and
not the reality that the mask doesn't work like they
think it works, and they're hell bent. They're gonna die
on that tree, right, They're gonna die on that not
(26:06):
the hill, the tree. Uh. Speaking of that related topic,
Dana White, your guy, Dana White, Danny, you see what
he's up to. He's making a documentary. But it's a
documentary about all the criticism wokesters in the media gave
the UFC during the pandemic. So this is this is
(26:26):
Dana White as an FU pushing back against all the media. Guys.
It's not safe enough. You can't have any sports, you
can't leave your house, all that ship we had to
put up with for two years. I thought you were
going to say it was about his power slap league. No,
he said, though he's gonna still go forward that because
(26:48):
TBS canceled the show. Do you see that? No, Yeah,
TBS didn't. They say they're not picking the show up
for a second season. Some people think that's because Dana White,
you know, he got in that the mess to squabble
with his with his wife in Mexico and that's where
they power slapped each other. Yeah, exactly. But yeah, TVs
(27:08):
the network declined to pick up the show for a
second season. And but as far as this documentary, Dana
did a couple of interviews recently said, it's just like
when we went through COVID, you know, and I had
to listen to all the bullshit as we went through COVID,
he said, And I came out with a little documentary,
(27:29):
he said, And it's all about the mean He's gonna
name names, faces, publications, what they said, the whole deal,
and he's very excited about it. He's gonna name name
the names. And there were some legendary figures in media
that were wanted everything shut down forever, complete assholes. And
(27:53):
it's been proven since the beginning here that a lot
of the things they were saying were nonsense, complete and
total nonsense. But I thought that was that was interesting.
Do you see this blob heading towards Florida. Blob twice
(28:13):
the width of the United States, that is heading towards
the coast of Florida. It is a seaweed, a giant
thing as seaweed is heading up towards the state of Florida.
It's five thousand miles wide. What the hell? Yeah? What
(28:33):
do you do with that? Dry it out and sell
it to kids as a snack? Does that? Yeah? That
that must come from the very deep parts of the
bottom of the ocean, right, I would think. Yeah, By
the way, that's not a snack we had as kids.
Have you ever seen kids eating that dried seaweed? Crap? No, No,
(28:54):
I don't want any of that. I'm sure it's got
great benefits right from the ocean. It could possibly go wrong.
Let's see here, what else do we have. Well, you
know that that artist Banksy, right, is that he say
banks Yeah, he leaves art and then people try to
capture it and sell the art that he leaves mysteriously, Yeah,
(29:16):
and they sell it for like a lot of money,
and it ends sometimes it ends up in art museums.
It's like, yeah, people will even cut it out of concrete. Yeah.
So he left a piece of art in a barren
farmhouse in the United Kingdom and that has now been destroyed.
(29:36):
The building was demolished this week and it turns out
that the contractors were unaware that banks He had had
been in the building and the mural dub Morning is
Broken appeared on the side of the building and it
(29:57):
depicted a young boy opening metal curtains alongside a cat.
But the piece did not live long because the building,
which was dilapidated there. It was on a like the
seaside in the town of Kent, and uh yeah he uh.
The people came in there and they knocked the thing down.
(30:21):
And the thing about it, Danny, is that you look
at the photo, it's pretty obvious if you paid any attention.
The contractor said that he had no idea it was
a Banksy when they began on Tuesday, and he says
he felt sick and all that stuff. The farm reportedly
dates back to the to the fifteen hundreds, and it's
(30:42):
right on the side. It's right on the side of
the like the building. You gotta like, really now, maybe
you don't think it's a legitimate painting or whatever. But
I'm gonna show you the picture here. Let me click
on this. This isn't you have to be super oblivious. No,
it's when you see the photo here. Check this out.
(31:02):
It's literally the upper part of the building is the
entire painting is the upper part of the building. Oh yeah, right,
come on, I mean you'd have to be as oblivious
as Dick and Dayton. How dare you? How dare you?
That building looks like it's from the fifteen hunt. That's
(31:25):
needless to say. That's why it's no longer. No, I mean,
at the very least, you would check with somebody before
you bulldozed it. You think possibly maybe, But these guys
did not. They just oh man, there's I'm looking at
the photo of the building they took out. They nailed.
They must have used that as a bull's eye. That
(31:47):
that particular, that thing, because that's the part they destroyed
first in the Yeah, that in the roof. Yeah, you're right, yeah,
so I've kind of exploded. All right, we'll get out
on that and anything you want to promote. Here, it's Saturday,
(32:07):
we're all watching the tournament. How's your bracket doing? You

this podcast, we've got party Hardy going to Hell in
(01:24):
a handbasket, backscratcher, and pop goes the culture. We'll get
right to it. So this is the Saturday podcast, The
Life of mallor Life of Danny g And so you
may be wondering what the hell's going on. Today's a
big day. I did not mention this in the Friday podcast,
but buckle up, buckaroo, because it is a big weekend.
(01:46):
You know what holiday is this weekend. I'm smiling with
my green teeth. Saint Patty's Day is a day to
have a party. So before I tell you what I've
got going about, my favorite memory of Saint Patrick's Day.
And I don't have a lot of Saint Patrick's Day memories,
(02:07):
but this goes way back in the hot tub time machine,
and it's one of those days I can still close
my eyes and visualize the room and the people in
the room. It's that vivid of memory. But it's the
nineteen nineties. I'm a young pup. I'm in viro Beach
at Dodger spring training. And this was in the days
(02:28):
when you didn't have seven thousand uniforms like they do
these days. In baseball. You wore your home whites in
your road grays, but you got a little frisky in
spring training. On Saint Patrick's Day, the Dodgers will wearing
green hats. And it was like, oh my god, the
Dodgers are wearing green what the you know, what the
hell is going on? So I happened to be in
(02:49):
a viro beach when this was going on, and so
they pulled out the green hats, which who cares whatever,
They did that every year. But then after the game
that night, they had a Saint Patrick's Day party in
the dodger Town restaurant bar that they had the commissary
and I got invited. So I was there. I was
at this party and it was the Saint Patrick's state
party at all the Irish food. But my memory, I
(03:11):
can still close my eyes and see this is Tommy Lasorda.
May he rest in peace. Let's just say Tommy might
have had a couple of pops. He might have been
enjoying it, and he was swimming in green beer. Tommy
was feeling no pain and he was wearing a leprechn
hat and he was It was so and so we
(03:33):
did our show. I was doing a local show in
La and so we were on really late on the
East coast, and so we got to go to the party.
And then after the party, one of the Dodger PR
people say, Hey, we're gonna get Lasorda on the show.
He's gonna come in. I was like, Oh, Tommy's gonna
come in at night to do this thing. And back
in those days, we didn't have access to record anything,
(03:54):
you know, it was not the setup was archaic. Today
you just recorded. But yeah, Tommy showed up late and
he was still wearing the Leprechaun hat. And in that
little small Dodgertown radio studio, which was really just a
broom closet, it was. It was priceless. And somewhere I
(04:14):
have a photo and I gotta find it. It's a
it's it's a polaroid. Not even if I don't know
as a polar it's it's a it's not a digital photo,
because that's how old. This is from a grow away camera.
Pretty much of Tommy. It was. It was so great,
and he was he was in rare form that night.
He knew how to put on a show, and he
(04:35):
was he was feeling no pain, and he was a jokester,
and he was going on and on it was. It
was really a fun memory that so that was my
big Saint Patrick's Day memory. Early on in our radio careers,
how cool were the Saint Patrick's Day radio station live
remotes and parties. I remember seeing the general manager slashed
(04:57):
the salespeople were drunk out of their mo I had
never seen a radio staff so drunk. And then fast
forward to a few years ago, me and my morning
show drank on Saint Patrick's Day. It was a great
show man. The listeners loved it. But I signed off
(05:18):
by saying, Happy Mother's Day. Make sure to call your mom.
And I'm not exaggerating. The very next work day, there
was a memo hanging up on the studio door saying
that alcohol was not allowed on the premises. That's great.
I remember the first guy. I don't know if I
(05:40):
should say his name, but we've had him on the podcast.
There was the first time I ever saw anybody drink
on the air, and I was like, WHOA, I didn't
know you could do that, you know, And I've only
been drunk on the air one time, and I don't
know that I'll tell the story right now, but as
somebody wants the story down the line, I'll tell the story.
But we had we had this guy in the podcast
(06:02):
and I would say, Dandy, one of the crazier people
that we've had on the podcast. And uh and he
was telling stories about being in a hotel room filled
with money and things like oh yeah yeah from the
super Bowl in Los Angeles. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. So
and I'll just say this and the listeners that know,
(06:24):
they'll know. But part of his on air stick was
he would pour glasses of alcohol or listeners who asked
for it. I'm a bit naive, Danny. I thought that
was just an act. I thought, oh, he's not really
new and maybe he didn't do it. Maybe it's just
this one night he happened. We were at a remote
at the National Sports Grill in Buena Park, which doesn't
(06:47):
exist these are, you know, years ago, and uh yeah,
we were all there. He was. He was going for it,
you know, and listeners were buying him drinks and he
was not rejecting any of them. He was, you know,
why not. But as far as Saint Patty's Day, fast
forwarding up from the olden days and it's party hardy time.
(07:09):
Benny the Baker has been activated as my wife. We
have some some in laws, my wife's family coming in
from Nashville actually, and some other places. And so we're
getting how much family do you guys have? I don't know.
I don't have my family. Well, my family's spread out.
A lot of them are dead. And then she's got
(07:30):
a lot of family, and they're like, they're mostly here,
but there's some in New Mexico, some in Nashville, her
side of the family. So my family's mostly in like
New York, some in Chicago. Phoenix, right, Phoenix is a
big mallor hub, Florida. They're spread out Denver. I got family.
(07:54):
It's all over the damn country anyway. So so this
party where she's throwing it, and I'm the Benny the Baker.
So here's what I've been up to over the last
couple of days. I have made and this is sitting
in my refrigerator. I have I've activated Benny Baker, and
I'm taking care of all the sweets, so all the desserts,
(08:15):
and I have made a bunch of bakery style gooey
chocolate chip cookie dough, Mama's favorite oatmeal raisin cookie. I
think you had yeah, those are good. Those are really good.
And my newest crumble style cookies. So I've got three
different style of cookies. But it's gonna take forever to
(08:36):
bake these, so I gotta get them all done before
the party starts. I'm gonna have over like seventy cookies,
probably close to one hundred cookies, which means I'm gonna
have to bring the leftovers into work so Roberto and
Coop and the guys can can have somebody. Yeah. I
probably made like way too many, but the leftovers I
get to eat. I could eat as many as I want.
And you know, my wife gets to have another social
(08:58):
butterfly event and all that. And so that's the way
that is day. And so that's that's what I'll be
up to today that the parties actually today, And because
I gotta work Sundays a school day, I gotta work
Sunday night in the monday, and so I'll be watching
college basketball, baking watching on my phone. So I do it.
And that's the plan. So we got to turn this
(09:19):
into an official side hustle for you, because I'm not
kidding here. Those cookies are good enough to where you
could package those and have some kind of Mallard logo
and sell them. It's a great idea. I would love
to do it. I do enjoy baking, which I wish
my I didn't really get into this till my mom
had passed away. I wish he was kind of still around,
just like I said, hey, mom, look at me now,
(09:40):
you know. But she loved the bake crab. When I
was a kid, my mom was always it's probably it's
so fat because my mom was cooking like brownies and cookies,
and your mom could help you push it. We could
have called it Mallard's Mama and Mallar's mama. There you go,
There you go, daddy. So that was that. That's what
we're up to today, party hardy. Yeah we are not.
(10:03):
I don't think going to hell in a handbasket. I
don't think we are. I had to look that phrase up.
My grandma used to say that back in the day,
this country is going to hell in a handbasket. I
looked it up right now. In the nineteenth century, the
phrase was associated with the American gold rush of the
eighteen forties, where men were lowered by hand in baskets
(10:25):
down mining shafts to set explosives which could have deadly consequences.
Oh that's great. So it's a wherever you were going
down and you might meet your demise. You're going to
hell in a hand a handbasket. Awesome. I didn't know that.
I didn't know that either. That's right, that's pretty cool.
So I don't mean for this to be two weekends
(10:47):
in a row of dumping on a city in California.
But but Ben, we went to Santa Barbara just on
a day trip last Sunday, made reservations to go to
the little Zoo there. Yeah, as we're walking in, there
is a homeless guy, like a sleep right in front
(11:09):
of the turnstile. Wow, oh my, oh my gosh. I
mean we had to step over this homeless guy to
get to get into the zoo. And I told my girl,
I was like, wow, I mean way high on State
Street here, there was a little bit of homelessness going on.
(11:29):
But holy crap, I've never seen it like this in
this city. One kid that might turn out to be
homeless someday was outside of where the Lions were. He's
the he's in the minor league system to be homeless. Yes,
because the Lion and the lions on this beautiful sunny
sunday where the rain had taken a little break. They
(11:52):
were both laying out in front of everybody on the rocks,
and then the lion s jumps down and she's running
around in the yard. And this kid, I'm not kidding you,
third fourth grade probably yells to the rest of his family, Hey,
come over here, there's some sort of animal running around
in the yard here. Well, he's not wrong. It was
(12:14):
an animal, you know, it's a sort of animal. And
I'm I'm sort of animal. And my wife he was like,
this third fourth grader doesn't know what the fuck a
lion is. Isn't that one of the first animals you're talking? God? Yeah, like,
(12:36):
at least you know lion or tiger. At least you
should know. I mean, my god, that's that's so. Say
I've not been to the Santa Barbara Zoo. Is it
worth my time? I don't recall being at the Santa
Barbara Zoo. Yeah. I think it is because it's the
perfect zoo trip. You could be in and out of
that zoo in ninety minutes. Okay, So it's a quick, small,
(12:58):
little exactly, and they have this little train you can
take the little train around the zoo, which is kind
of cool. And there's not a lot of animals there,
but the animals they do have are cool. And they
have a new attraction, wallabies, and you can walk right
up to them. You can't touch them, but you literally
walk right up to them and look at them. So
(13:20):
it's a cool little zoo. We get out of there,
and now we go down to the beach, all right,
and the beach in Santa bar is beautiful, beautiful, a
little boardwalk down there where the restaurants and all. That's wonderful.
But as my grandma would say, it has gone to
hell in a handbasket. Oh really, because everywhere you walk,
(13:41):
everywhere you step, there are homeless people. Now, as you know,
this has become a huge problem in the state of California,
especially with a lot of the beach cities. There are
homeless people with homemade shelters, pushing not just push in carts.
There were several guys who passed us where they had
(14:03):
a train of carts connected to each other. They're recreating
the zoo train, is what they're doing. The only thing
missing were sled dogs. Okay, and we are just like wow,
like we were amazed at how many carts. We're now
on Lower State Street where it's the newer construction where
(14:25):
we ate at a place called Phinnies, which is a
nice bar slash restaurant. We're eating outside on the front porch,
and you know, we're laughing. We're eating our Phinnis is
known for like they're they're really good pretzel and the
different dips. Okay, we had the pretzel as the appetizer.
(14:45):
And then I see my girl with just a stunn
to look on her face, and I turned and looked
to my left. There's a homeless guy who has walked
up to the restaurant front porch. He's reaching over the
gate and the people who left the table next to us.
He is helping himself the lemonade on the table, drinking
(15:09):
the lemonade that was left on the table. I mean,
we've never seen anything like that. Yeah, this guy's just
like sampling what people left on their table. Do you
never used to see that in the city of Santa Barbara.
The hotel by the way, we wound up staying on
Sunday night, and you know from experience, those hotels are
(15:31):
hundreds and hundreds of dollars and now you're stepping over
homeless people to get into your room. Yeah, well that's
that's on the politicians and not and not making enough priority.
But you let a few, you know people, I know
people are down their luck and all that, but you gotta,
you know, for the people to pay taxes in the city.
You can't be doing that. That's no way to do it. Now.
(15:53):
The other way to get rid of the homeless people
is go to Wisconsin where it's cold and there's no
there's very few homeless people there because they're not out
and about because the weather's not not conducive to that.
But man, I've been on State Street a bunch in
Santa Barbara and I've always seen a few homeless people,
but not from what you describe, not that many people
(16:13):
more now more plan this place Phinnies, is that what
you call never I'm looking at the menu here, Oh,
you would love Phinnis really good food. My kind of place.
They got prime ribbed cheese, steak, capastrami rubin. I mean,
these are things I would be into. But you said
the pretzels are the way to go there. The appetizer
that we always get is the pretzel, their tacos, their
(16:35):
fish tacos are really good. Even you know when a
place is good when even their salads are delicious. Yeah,
I mean, I'm looking it all looks like my kind
of stuff. I'll have to remember because Santa Barbara's kind
of hitting miss. The problem with Santa Barbara for me
is it's not open late. I'm you know, a lot
of stuff closes early. It's I feel like they're in Hawaii.
Everything closes early there. They just opened up a Finney's
(16:57):
location in Burbank, in Burbon, Burbank. I'm old enough to
remember when we're going to move studios to Burbank. Man,
I feel bad for the people that are down on
their luck and are you know, setting up spots to
sleep and all that, and not to lower our overall rating.
But how does California fix that? Because now it went
(17:21):
from something you'd see a little bit too, something that's
taken over entire cities. Yeah. Well, the economy sucks for
a lot of people, so that's part of the problem.
But the people make bad decisions and they have bad
luck or a combination of both things. But I know
the way not to fix it is to hand them money.
I know that's not the way to fix it. That's people. Oh,
(17:43):
you're supposed to just give out money, but then that
just creates more more of an issue. Yeah. This guy,
by the way, after he tasted the lemonade, he set
it back down and he walked away, and my girl
told me she and I didn't I hadn't thought of it.
She said, I think he was checking it to see
if it was alcohol. It's probably bummed out. He's like, yeah,
(18:04):
he took one drink, set it down, and then left.
And I was like, well, he must have been thirsty,
and she's like, no, I think he was checking to
see if it was a mixed drink. And when he
tasted it and there was no alcohol, he's like, oh
fuck this place. And he moved on. And she's like,
that's why I would rather give somebody like that food
(18:26):
rather than money, because he would just go get alcohol. Yeah. Yeah,
the last call for alcohol. Man. This this kind of
reminds me about It's not the same, but remember that
story in La that one of the homeless compounds in
skid Row. I don't even know it was in skid Row.
I think it was under one of the freeways and this.
(18:47):
This guy had like the penthouse of homeless setups. He
had a hot tub. Do you remember this? I do
remember that the guy had a freaking hot tub and
in his tent thing. And it was like he was
like the king of the skid row, like the boss,
because he went all out, man alive, All right, backscratcher,
Let's move on, backscratcher, And let's see here. Did we
(19:11):
get any reviews this week? Danny? Last week we were
shut out? Oh yeah, then there's got to be at
least five this week? Or who who? But it's a
good one. Senior Suave rights and he says five stars.
You guys are all over the place with your non
(19:33):
sports topics, but the Dandy g Show featuring Penn Maller
definitely rates five stars. The microphone throttler as long as
the insufferable gas can isn't there to ruin the chemistry. Wow,
shots fired from the senior Suave. Who are we supposed
to do a herd O sports podcast, Danny? Are we
(19:54):
making a mistake not doing a herd O sports podcat?
That would be boring? I think we talk the perfect
amount of sports on this podcast. None, No, very little,
very little? Uh, so what is next here? By the way,
that that is, we are fourteen reviews away now from
the magic four hundred. We love round numbers, so we
(20:15):
need fourteen more reviews and then we are bank Bank,
Chicken and trim. We've got pop goes the culture and
that means our man ohio, awoo, Okay, we'll do a
(20:40):
few of these. We don't have tons of time, but
this one I thought would resonate with you, Danny. I'm
not sure if you saw this or not. It involves
something that has not happened in thirty five years. It
involves music, and I was I did a double take
on this, but then it made sense when you take
(21:01):
a couple of steps back. Vinyl records, Oh yeah, beat
Out CDs have outsold scenes for the first time in
thirty five years because of all the retro the retro
players that are people aren't really buying. Who's buying CDs?
These does all those still cars that have CD players.
But I did see this and I paid attention to
(21:24):
it for the exact reason you just mentioned. Vintage vinyl
is super popular right now. In fact, our middle child
I bought him bluetooth turntable and for one of the holidays.
Last year I got him a record, a rap record,
vinyl for a current artist he likes. You should have
(21:45):
saw him holding this piece of vinyl, like wow, and
kids they're amazed by vinyl records, which is very cool.
Now you mentioned CDs. Some cars still have CD players,
but the newer car, like the one I just got
ripped off for, doesn't even have a CD player. Yeah,
(22:06):
some of the new cars they've changed. Some of them
don't even AM radio. They've gotten rid of the AM
band and there's stupid. Yeah, there's a pushback that Tesla's
some of the electric cars don't have the AM band anymore.
But there are there are people in the governments like,
you gotta have AM band in this case of an emergency,
you need to have it, And so they're trying to
make sure that that they're gonna put some kind of
(22:28):
tape in their emergencies. And AM sports talk radio, it's
very important. The AM sports talk radio is the most
important thing on the radio. So as far as the
vinyl though, this is my parents had a record player
when I was a kid, and they had a bunch
of vinyl records, and occasionally me and my brothers would
(22:49):
use them as frisbees and throw them, throw them around
the house, not realizing that some of those things were
worth a decent amount of money, churning the page on
pop goes the culture about this one, a tech tycoon
has been called out on social media. He was flying.
This guy's like a gazillionaire. He was flying on a plane,
(23:11):
I think it was a Delta flight, and somebody on
the flight had a mask on. So this guy decided
he was going to play out the Magic Christian, that
famous story that I've talked about in that book. And
he offered this woman who was wearing her mask. He said, listen,
(23:31):
if you take the mask off it was a delta flight,
for the full flight, I'll give you a hundred thousand
dollars one hundred thousand dollars of cash money. Wow. And
you know what the woman did. She turned down the money. Yeah,
(23:52):
she turned down one hundred thousand dollars. This guy, his
name is Steve Kurse. She can look him up. He
is a Silicon Valley veteran. He is credited with one
of the first versions of the optical mouse back in
nineteen eighty. Wow. Yeah. His net worth over two hundred
(24:15):
million dollars, and he later he co founded a tech company.
I got this whole bio on this on this cat.
He co founded a tech company which was bought by
Adobe in nineteen ninety five, and then created a search
(24:36):
engine which was sold to Disney in nineteen ninety nine.
So this guy's had like three major things in tech
where he's cashed in. But that's the story of the
Magic Christian. It's a family. It made some movies. It's terrible,
but that everyone's got their price. And it was like
this rich guy who just wanted to see, you know,
he had ridiculous money. And he's like, all right, let's
(24:59):
see what we can do with this money. Right, Let's see,
you know, I can get people to do things they
would never do with the money. And that woman, I
don't know who this woman is, but she turned out
one hundred thousand. But at some point there would have
been a price point she would have agreed to. The
guy said, here's what he wrote on social media, said,
I'm on board a Delta flight right now. The person
(25:21):
sitting next to me in first class just refused one
hundred thousand dollars to remove her mask for the entire flight.
He said, no joke. This was after I explained they
don't work, and then and then he said, she works
for a pharma company, So that did she think Stars
was on board? I know, I know it's just nuts, man,
(25:44):
but people are people have been. Maybe she thought he
was kidding or something like that. Maybe that was it.
People that are there hard up for the mask. So
they have convinced they bought into the initial dogma and
not the reality that the mask doesn't work like they
think it works, and they're hell bent. They're gonna die
on that tree, right, They're gonna die on that not
(26:06):
the hill, the tree. Uh. Speaking of that related topic,
Dana White, your guy, Dana White, Danny, you see what
he's up to. He's making a documentary. But it's a
documentary about all the criticism wokesters in the media gave
the UFC during the pandemic. So this is this is
(26:26):
Dana White as an FU pushing back against all the media. Guys.
It's not safe enough. You can't have any sports, you
can't leave your house, all that ship we had to
put up with for two years. I thought you were
going to say it was about his power slap league. No,
he said, though he's gonna still go forward that because
(26:48):
TBS canceled the show. Do you see that? No, Yeah,
TBS didn't. They say they're not picking the show up
for a second season. Some people think that's because Dana White,
you know, he got in that the mess to squabble
with his with his wife in Mexico and that's where
they power slapped each other. Yeah, exactly. But yeah, TVs
(27:08):
the network declined to pick up the show for a
second season. And but as far as this documentary, Dana
did a couple of interviews recently said, it's just like
when we went through COVID, you know, and I had
to listen to all the bullshit as we went through COVID,
he said, And I came out with a little documentary,
(27:29):
he said, And it's all about the mean He's gonna
name names, faces, publications, what they said, the whole deal,
and he's very excited about it. He's gonna name name
the names. And there were some legendary figures in media
that were wanted everything shut down forever, complete assholes. And
(27:53):
it's been proven since the beginning here that a lot
of the things they were saying were nonsense, complete and
total nonsense. But I thought that was that was interesting.
Do you see this blob heading towards Florida. Blob twice
(28:13):
the width of the United States, that is heading towards
the coast of Florida. It is a seaweed, a giant
thing as seaweed is heading up towards the state of Florida.
It's five thousand miles wide. What the hell? Yeah? What
(28:33):
do you do with that? Dry it out and sell
it to kids as a snack? Does that? Yeah? That
that must come from the very deep parts of the
bottom of the ocean, right, I would think. Yeah, By
the way, that's not a snack we had as kids.
Have you ever seen kids eating that dried seaweed? Crap? No, No,
(28:54):
I don't want any of that. I'm sure it's got
great benefits right from the ocean. It could possibly go wrong.
Let's see here, what else do we have. Well, you
know that that artist Banksy, right, is that he say
banks Yeah, he leaves art and then people try to
capture it and sell the art that he leaves mysteriously, Yeah,
(29:16):
and they sell it for like a lot of money,
and it ends sometimes it ends up in art museums.
It's like, yeah, people will even cut it out of concrete. Yeah.
So he left a piece of art in a barren
farmhouse in the United Kingdom and that has now been destroyed.
(29:36):
The building was demolished this week and it turns out
that the contractors were unaware that banks He had had
been in the building and the mural dub Morning is
Broken appeared on the side of the building and it
(29:57):
depicted a young boy opening metal curtains alongside a cat.
But the piece did not live long because the building,
which was dilapidated there. It was on a like the
seaside in the town of Kent, and uh yeah he uh.
The people came in there and they knocked the thing down.
(30:21):
And the thing about it, Danny, is that you look
at the photo, it's pretty obvious if you paid any attention.
The contractor said that he had no idea it was
a Banksy when they began on Tuesday, and he says
he felt sick and all that stuff. The farm reportedly
dates back to the to the fifteen hundreds, and it's
(30:42):
right on the side. It's right on the side of
the like the building. You gotta like, really now, maybe
you don't think it's a legitimate painting or whatever. But
I'm gonna show you the picture here. Let me click
on this. This isn't you have to be super oblivious. No,
it's when you see the photo here. Check this out.
(31:02):
It's literally the upper part of the building is the
entire painting is the upper part of the building. Oh yeah, right,
come on, I mean you'd have to be as oblivious
as Dick and Dayton. How dare you? How dare you?
That building looks like it's from the fifteen hunt. That's
(31:25):
needless to say. That's why it's no longer. No, I mean,
at the very least, you would check with somebody before
you bulldozed it. You think possibly maybe, But these guys
did not. They just oh man, there's I'm looking at
the photo of the building they took out. They nailed.
They must have used that as a bull's eye. That
(31:47):
that particular, that thing, because that's the part they destroyed
first in the Yeah, that in the roof. Yeah, you're right, yeah,
so I've kind of exploded. All right, we'll get out
on that and anything you want to promote. Here, it's Saturday,
(32:07):
we're all watching the tournament. How's your bracket doing? You
want to talk brackets. Listen. I am a college basketball expert, Danny.
You can check out my bracket on Fox Sports Radio
dot com. I filled out a bracket and I'm gonna
be again baking all day today and then later on
I'll be watching college basketball. A little party going on,
(32:29):
So that's what I'm up to today. We'll be dude.
I'm almost done cleaning the garage, and then I'm gonna
actually put a desk and a podcast area together. Is
that right? Yeah? Get Away from Me podcast set up.
That's good. There you go nice. All right, Well, I
have a great rest of your day today. We'll catch
(32:49):
