Kutbooms.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
The Fifth Hour with Ben Mallard starts right.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Now in the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me,
Big Ben and Danny g Radio. Happy Friday to you.
The day before a very big event in the mal
of Militia. We'll talk about that as we work our
(00:47):
way through the Fifth Hour, The Extra Crispy, Extra Spicy,
Not Original Recipe Podcast. You hear me every night during
the week on the overnight show. You here Danny with
Covido and Rich during the week can on the weekends
here for the Fifth Hour podcast. We thank you for listening.
I like the degree of difficult Danny. While I'm talking,
(01:08):
It's like being lou Garrick having my voice bounce back
into my head. The degree of difficulty is outstanding. I
like that the company knows I like a challenge. I
thank them for that.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Well, you know, Ben, this high tech equipment we use
to podcast every weekend cost one hundred and eighty seven
dollars and iHeart is still in debt because of these headsets.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yeah, I'm gonna go on Amazon and buy a vintage
nineteen eighty one mister microphone is what I'm going to
buy instead of the one thousand dollars microphone I'm talking
into right now. Not that I'm complaining, Not that I
am complaining. How can you complain? It's the second day
of August, it is National ice cream Sandwich day to day,
(01:50):
dully an ice cream sandwich. Now, I'm I'm a purist
with my ice cream sandwich. I don't know about you, Danny,
but when it comes to the ice cream sandwich, for me,
it's a big scoop, a couple scoops of vanilla ice
cream and two chocolate chip cookies, soft delicious chocolate chip
cookies slapped around that vanilla ice cream. Now, if you
(02:11):
want to go next level, I'm okay with little chocolate
chips around the vanilla. But amazing, absolutely amazing chef's kiss
to the ice cream sandwich. And there's endless possibilities. But
like I said, I'm a purist, and this time of
the year, it's perfect that it's on August second, because
it's summer and this is when you're supposed to have
(02:32):
a day to celebrate the ice cream sandwich.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
It's hot. Got to enjoy yourself a little bit. I
like the old school ice cream sandwich, the vanilla. But
they have like the chocolate. Yes, okay, yeah, those are
all right. No, those are better than all right.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Now, they're not better than our yeah they are, Okay. Listen,
there's a place here in la In it's west of
the four or five, so I don't go there very often.
There's a creamery that makes the greatest ice cream sandwich
in southern California, and the greatest I've had on the
West coast. Actually, they have some of them you can
get at like local grocery stores around here. But that's
(03:09):
my go to for the ice cream sandwich. We're hanging
out with all weekend long, and we'll be in Vegas.
I'll be in Vegas on Saturday. Yeah, speaking of cream,
we'll be hanging out having a great time. We'll talk
about why we're going to Vegas and what that's all about.
I did want to announce that this podcast different than
(03:30):
almost all other podcasts, probably wondering why is that.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Oh, because it's sponsored by Rapid Radio. That's what we're
broadcasting on right now. That's right, walkie talkies. We love
our rapid radios. I like that we're being teased. Every
time you walk into the building, there's a whole wall
of rapid radios. And do you know anything about that, Danny?
Speaker 3 (03:49):
I have you gotten to the bottom of the rapid
radios against the wall?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, when you walk in. What's the details on that one? Here, sir?
Yesterday on Thursday afternoon, right as our pre show meeting
was ending for Covino and Rich Scott, our boss got
on a conference call with us and gave us the
lowdown on those walkie talkies. He did, Yeah, they're they're
figuring out how to charge them and program them right now.
We're gonna be able to even take the suckers home.
(04:16):
But we got to record videos once a week with
them for the sponsor. Okay, ah, so they're for us
to have fun with, but also a marketing tool. But
are there cameras in them? They are cameras. No, We're
gonna have to film ourselves like on an ig video
or whatever social media platform, gotcha.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Okay, all right, I was wondering what they were doing there.
I knew you'd have the answer because you're there during
the day. I'm not there during the day. I don't
know what's going on. But the reason that this podcast
is different we have a studio audience.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
We're exciting both your dogs. That is correct. We have
in my podcast studio. Here we have Moxie.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
She is sleeping right now, laying on her side with
her tongue out, and we have behind Moxie, let me
check here we have Luigi, who looks bored to death.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
So side by side him, thousands of listeners right now.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Living the dream right now. If at any moment they
get riled up, they might start barking. If one my
takes is Missus the mark Danny, it might lead to
a to a bark.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
All right.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I'm just letting you know, you the listener, that if
you hear a bark, it's probably gonna be Moxie, not Luigi.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
But they are now.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
MAXI did wake up because I looked at Moxie, so
she woke up. Here my bulldog, my English bulldog, and
she's now staring at me, wondering why I'm looking at her.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
So we've we've got that. Last week I bought a
dog and I need them emotion.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Let's get get to the meat of the matter here, Danny.
Call this the pre and the post if you will.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah, we've never done anything like this before. Well, I've
never titled any of our podcasts pre show or postgame show.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Well, let's start with Viva Las Vegas, which is not
It's like the primer. You know how when you paint,
you're supposed to put primer on. Sure, some people don't
do it, but you're supposed to do it. So this
is make sure it has a lot of lead in it.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Well, if you're of our age, you grew up with that.
And look at us now, Danny, we're doing so well.
The malor Meet and greet Viva Las Vegas tomorrow. How
exciting is that we're gonna be in Vegas. In fact,
I'll be heading to Vegas later today. When we get
done with this podcast, I will be getting in the Malamobile.
(06:42):
I'll be cruising through Victorville Apple Valley. I will then
go on to Barstow, actually yourmo then Barstow work my
way through the California Desert, go through beautiful Baker, California,
home of the Mad Greek and the world's largest thermometer.
Then I will make my way to prim Nevada. I
will wave at Whiskey Pete's. I will also mourn the
(07:03):
loss of that mall right on the state line when
you cross California and the Nevada.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I used to love that mall.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
There was a great, big and tall store there that
I would go to get shirts that were like seventy
percent off the normal price, but that closed during COVID,
so I can't go there anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I'll wave at Buffalo.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Bills, and then I'll keep going and I'll go right
in past the Death Star where your Raiders play, and
I'll make my way into Lost Wages, Nevada, the greatness
of the Raiders, and we'll be hanging out. And then
on Saturday, Saturday, not sure who's going to be there.
(07:41):
We had a couple of people call up the other
night that were flying in. We have at least the
two people flying in from the Bay Area, which is
very exciting, and it's on like Donkey Kong. The likely
final mallar meet and greet of twenty twenty four, with
football season getting underway, we had the Hall of Fame
game on Thursday last night here the Bears in the Texas.
(08:05):
I would imagine that we're not going to have any
more of these during football season. So this is it Beva,
Las Vegas. It's tomorrow, which is you should know. It's
August third, today's August second. It's at the Stakeout Bar
and Grill. That's the Maryland Parkway location forty eight hundred
south of Maryland Parkway. It's right near the UNLV campus.
When I was a kid growing up, to me, the
(08:28):
sexiest basketball program in college basketball. I love college basketball
because that was when it was in the golden era
was UNLV Tark the Shark. I was so impressed the
Thomas and Max Center there on the campus of UNLV.
It looked like an NBA arena, and they had all
these future NBA players on that team. And I grew
up in Orange County, I didn't grow up far from
(08:49):
the campus of UC Irvine. The Anteaters, and so that
was always the biggest game of the year, and they
sell out that game and I got to go to
it a few times and it was like oh man,
this is crazy, like a big rock band showed up.
So now you want to be no good at basketball
anymore or football. But they have a really good program
if you want to work in hotels, they got a
(09:12):
really good program there. Uh and aywow, well it's right
here to you and to be king.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
It wasn't Tart the coach who was famous for biting
and chewing on a towel.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Yes, yes, Jerry Tarkanian would do that. He also coached
the Spurs. He got an NBA job for like a month.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
And yeah, and then he went to Fresno.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Right, Yeah, he was at Fresno. There was some guys
with samurai swords that were on his team.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
That was a mess. And I actually interviewed Jerry.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Tarkiani on the radio, which was one of the more
disappointing moments in my career because I had looked up
to him my entire life and Jerry was totally distracted.
He agreed to do the interview, but he was driving.
He wasn't driving. Somebody was driving him around and he
was like playing games with his grandkids, which is great
and wonderful, but.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
We uh, patty cake, patty Cake, all right, what's your
next question. Yeah, it was one of those deals. Danny.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I was like, oh man, what are we doing here?
This is not this is not good, not good at all.
We'll be in Vegas, not just me. Normally these meet
and greets are just me. But Eddie's flying in. I
don't know why he doesn't just drive, but he's flying
in for the day.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
First class, little taste, and then flying out that night.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
We've got Coop is driving, Loraina driving with Coop.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Coop is probably flying high well even though he's on
the ground.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Yeah, but they'll they'll be together and we'll be we'll
be hanging out. So far, we've gotten RSVPs from Rob
in Vegas. Avery in Vegas is gonna be there. So
there's a couple of big names. We know that KGB
is flying in from the Bay Area or Nesto.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
We've we've met.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
He was at the Minnesota Malor Meet and greet, he
was at the Seattle Meet and greet, and so he's
been to several of these things over the years and
he will be at this one as well. So it's
excited to see those guys again. And there's a bunch
of people's super Bowarke at Steve's driving in from LA.
We know that, and a bunch of other people of RSVPED,
one of our big fans in Minnesota is supposed to
(11:12):
fly in. So I don't know who's actually gonna be there, Danny.
I've talked about this over the years, that a lot
of people say they're going to be there and then
life gets in the way, right, something comes up and
they don't make it. So we'll show up now. Schedule
from three o'clock till five o'clock in Vegas. I set
it for two hours. In case it sucks, I'll get
out of there. But if it's if it's good, you know,
(11:33):
i'll stay longer than I'm not gonna stay for two hours,
but that's the bare minimum.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yeah, I feel like you're going to be there for
three hours. At least three or four hours. I'll be
there most likely, and you wonly eat, even though you'll
be craving chicken fingers the entire time.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Well, I have been doing some extreme fasting recently, but
I will I will, I will not likely eat your
right because normally I feel guilty though, you know, Danny,
because I want to say hello to everybody.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I feel like exactly yeah, I know. Yeah, You've talked
about this before when we had our Southern California Meet
and greet. What it is is, you are busy talking
with everybody, so you feel like it would be rude
if you're eating a chicken finger that has ranch on
it right in front of a listener. Well, that would
never happen.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
There's no ranch all out. If I see anyone eating ranch,
I'm kicking them out. Okay, I am kicking them out.
I want to thank Slug. Also, Slug is the host
of this. He did all the leg work. He's our
boots on the ground. Yeah, so I want to thank Slug.
Thank you Slug.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Oh yeah, but have some extra ranch on the table
for Benny when he arrives. No ranch, no ranch will
be harmed at all.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
I believe that ranch matters, and I don't want to
I don't want to take ranch away and kill ranch.
But the thing about this, and this has always been
my theory, the time right, the most valuable commodity that
we all have is time. And as I've gotten older
and I've been to way too many funerals over the years,
in the last like ten years of my life here,
(13:00):
so you can't buy more of it. And we know
all don't those story. Once it's gone, that's it. You
can't replenish it. You don't know how much you have.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
And you know you don't want to waste it and
all that.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
So if you're willing to give your time up to
hang out with us, you don't want to watch me
eat a chicken.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Finger or something like that. Disgusting.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
He wants to watch me eat I'm disgusting when I'm naughty,
you certainly don't.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Want to watch. So this is like we took our
our daughter who's about to enter eighth grade. We took
the kids to In and Out a few nights back,
and she had the what do they call the dressing
the Yeah, is like an orange kind of yellow. Yeah,
I'm glad you described it, because she had it dripping
(13:41):
down her fingers and her wrist. Get a napkin, you
filthy animal? Yeah, And can you imagine? And we've been
teasing her because she's starting to get to the age
where she wants to have her first boyfriend. And I said, well,
you better not let this guy ever take you to
In and Out because they'll break up with you on
the spot. And what did she say to that. She
just laughed. Oh yeah, no, we won't fight back on that. Yeah,
(14:09):
you're right though, it is gross when some people eat,
like right in front of your face. Yeah, if they're
a if they're a you know, a messy eater, especially now.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
I would argue the most famous incident that happened in
the meet and greet is when Wayne from Southee I
did it for Mala, a famous drop seven years for Mala.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Also does it count as a meet and greet? When
we did the pitch the Baker's Field get together, that
was a meet and greet. Of course we had a
famous Air Force listener who Air Force Andrew took his
shirt off out after he got kicked out by security.
He took his shirt off and tried to get sneak
(14:52):
back in. His disguise was that he didn't have a
shirt on. Yeah I was.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
I was a bull. Strategy hard to believe. The security
guard figured him out. My favorite part of the Baker's
Field meet and greet and was hosted by Rod the
Ambassador of bakers Field.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, nice steak dinner which was great.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
We had a great dinner which was which was wonderful.
Remember I had an issue with the tip.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yeah, I wasn't. You thought you were sliding the waiter
a one hundred dollars bill and it was accidentally a
ten dollar bill. Yeah, like I didn't.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
I tried to be smooth, and I totally screwed it up.
I totally effed up. So it was a problem there.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
So you're like a Hollywood star sitting there like a
big hog at the table with a pipe, and you
give this guy the secret handshake. He gets back to
the kitchen and he has a ten dollars bill. Yeah. Oops,
I had to go back and give him some more money.
But yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
The thing that's also about that I remember is it
was oppressively hot, as it often is in the summer
in Bakersfield, and that we closed the minor league team down,
but at seven o'clock it was still like around one
hundred degrees.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah. In their their VIP section was literally just those
plastic pipes yeah that you can, you know, stick together
for ladder ball and with holes drilled in it. And
the water was dripping down the one above your head
in the VIP section was dripping right on your head,
big puddles.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Well, not only that it dripped some of it got
in my in my crotch, so it looked like I
had urinated my pants.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
You killed it like hanging out.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
With listeners and if they didn't know what happened, they're like, oh, boy, Meller,
he had to pee his pants like it's a diaper,
you know.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
I was like, no, no.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
I had nothing happened there. It was just the thing
dripped from the cool zone or whatever they were calling
it at the time.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
So bad off.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
But Wayne, Wayne in South he's tried to get me hammered.
At the one in Boston. We actually me and Blind
Scott and a couple of other fellas, the couple from Maine.
We took off and the guy from one of the
guys from Toronto came down and we just started walking
around Boston. Then we ended up walking to see Vinnie.
Another list who was working that night worked at the
(17:01):
Marriott Hotel where a lot of the visiting teams would stay.
So we went down and saw our guy Vinnie, and
it was fun.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
It was a good night.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
So we'll see what happened. Seattle was awesome. Had a
great time in Seattle. We had that one with JJ
and Rant and Robbie the Mariner fan, some big names
were at that event. Nostradinas among the Northwestern contingent that
made an appearance at the mal of Meat greet there.
So it's always always cool to do these things. So
we look forward to tomorrow. I hope you can be
(17:31):
there and we'll obviously have a lot of people in
Vegas that are fans of the show, so we'll see
what happens.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I did want to mention briefly the.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Recap on the Malor Palooza twenty twenty four, as it
is a final it is in the books, and congratulations
to everyone that participated in that.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Some big name acts.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
We didn't have as many music acts as we've had
in the past, so some of the fellas from the
past we're not in. Our buddy from Richmond did not
submit a song this year. We lost our guy from
from Flint, Michigan. He didn't send a song in obviously,
our buddy in the Ukraine busy helping out the Ukrainian
(18:14):
military and Jayscoop, so he wasn't part of it.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
But we had our.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Favorite judge back, Inka Terror from New York as always
wonderful classically trained musician.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Look him up. He's known as Inca Warrior. You're gonna
look him up. I'm not making that up.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
That's he's performed all over the world and he's a
fan of the show. And he was with us as
a judge. And we had some terrible comedy we had.
We had Leprechaun sucked. I mean, there were some bad acts,
but I mean people were trying. And the top four,
the final four, if you will, we had Pam and
(18:50):
Seattle who won last year, a classically trained musician who
may or may not be friends with InKo Terror Christy
in Kansas, who I like a She did like a
Yankee doodle Dandy last year. This year she did an
original song about watermelon, which I thought was great. I
really like her her ability, and I hope she can
(19:12):
be in this every year. I think she should win
one of these years. I think she's great. And then
Ohioal who is amazing and just wonderful and just knocked
it out of.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
The park, but he didn't win. The winner.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Coming out of left field, Rob in the three two
one from the Sunshine State Wow and Rob did a
song in a SpongeBob voice. It was a SpongeBob song
about our show, and he won the Popular vote in
the studio. He won the vote of the people. So
(19:48):
congratulations to Rob in the three two one, you are
the winner of the Mallet paloozat twenty twenty four and
you deserved it. And we only had a couple people, Danny,
that didn't show up. Normally there's a bunch of people
that don't show up. We only had a couple, so
overall it was a success and I love it. I
love hearing entertainment and people are so talented and sometimes
people just don't get a chance in life to show
(20:09):
what the ability they have, and so this is a stage.
Get your adrenaline going there and perform, and.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
So thank you. I do appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Pretty pretty, pretty cool. Ernie Banks would be proud. As
I always say, Danny, it's a beautiful day for a
radio show. Let's do two today and so Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday. It's exactly what I did as I was invited.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Oh yeah, yeah, I saw this on social media.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
I was invited to sit in on the Rogan and
Rodney show and Rogan was not there. Fred the Dean
of LA Sports was gone on vacation.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Instead of two pros and a cup of Joe it
was no pros and two hose pretty much pretty much. Yeah,
that's good name. I like that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
So Rodney Pete, former Lions quarterback and played at SC
he was gone. We think he was on Magic Johnson's
boat in the south of France, but we don't know.
But I said it with Jonas three days. I did
Monday and Tuesday seven hours of live radio, and then
on Wednesday we did six hours of live radio. Was
(21:24):
not in Siberia. Actually didn't think it was all that difficult.
And I feel like I was prepared for this, Danny,
because back in twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen, I was
at the Salt Mine in the sweatshop. I want to
thank my friends over at WEI in Boston because in
(21:46):
twenty seventeen to twenty eighteen, pretty much for two solid years,
I did two or three nights a week at Wei.
So the way that would work, obviously, I was in
Boston and I was doing it remotely.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I loved your hockey takes back then.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Let me tell you it was so funny. I had
to do this thing called Red Sox Review, which is
the Red Sox postgame talk show like Dodger Talk out here.
So they said, hey, it's part of the night programming.
When the Red Sox game ends, you got to get
on there and talk about the Sox game.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
So it's fine.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
I watched the game on the satellite and then I'd
talk about the game, but i'd have people, you know,
let's go to John Leaving Finway talking about it was hilarious.
It was wild, wild and crazy. But I did that
two or three nights a week. So that was three
hours of local radio in Boston and then the four
hours on the overnight. And so I did that, like
(22:39):
I said, two or three nights a week. But in
those days, I couldn't do the Fox Show from the
remote studio, so I had to drive in. So I
would do the EI Show. I would then have one
hour to get from my.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Place.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I was living in Glendora at the time, so I
had one hour to get from there to Sherman Oaks,
and if there was any kind of an accident or anything,
I was completely porked.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
That was it.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
So but I was able to put it off. And
so I'm I'm like, this is much much better now,
but I want the record to show that I did
still go in for the overnight show, and there was
enough time between shows where I had a chance to
kind of decompress for an hour and then crank the
engine up again and get back on the horse with Jonas.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Did you guys just rip on every LA team except
the Clippers? Yeah? We I ripped the Dodgers. I mean Jonas.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Jonas is an assassin, yeah, for the teams.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
And he's like you he if people are swimming this direction,
he goes in the opposite direction.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Well, I love the Dodgers, but I also hate bullshit. So, like,
the trade deadline was.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Going on, and uh, that.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Swarmy Vassa who you know, he's the Dodger insider travels
with the team.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Oh I saw him on MLB Network the other day.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Yeah, so he comes on there it's like an hour,
half an hour to go before the deadline, and he's like.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yeah, I think the Dodgers they got what they needed.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
You know, they got Tommy Edmond and they got Kopek
from the from the White Sox.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I think they're good, you know, company man. And I'm like, no,
this is the freaking Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
This isn't the nineteen eighties or nineties Dodgers. This is
the modern Dodgers. This is not acceptable. This is embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I know.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
I mean, come on, go ahead, get me a starting pitcher,
get Jack Flaherty. And then it was so cool because
literally three minutes until we were passing the baton over
to Petrol some money, we had Victor brick on for
a haikup and.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
No, God, that's award winning radio. I love Vic.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
But oh god, I get the flash, he said, Yoko
Zuna of Radio. I get the flash. Dodgers have traded
for Jack Flaherty.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yeah, Tiger, you put that out into the universe. I
was like, yeah, there we go, there we go.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Now I give the do I originally gave the Dodgers
an A minus and then I lowered it to a
B plus because Jack Filert will get hurt.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
But I don't care. I like that they got him.
He's a so cow guy.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
I felt like a dinosaur, and you probably did too
if you saw the photo that Jack Flherty's mom.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Sent out him.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
As a toddler wearing a Dodger like onesie in nineteen
ninety seven, when I was working on the Dodger flagshift
station doing Dodger pregame programming.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
In nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Holy crap, where's the time gone? But anyway, I was
happy about that, so it was fun a couple of days.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
The phrase of.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
The the phrase of the week. Now this is by request.
The request came in from wild Man of Morgan, West Virginia.
He says, it's the time of the year. Me, being
a guy that works outdoors, I get soaked with sweat everywhere.
I know what swamp ass is. But how did it
(26:07):
come to be? And how can a guy prevent or
counter against it? All right, so he wants us to
look into swamp ass. All right, Now, this is an
interesting request a wild man. And I imagine the humidity.
I've not been to West Virginia, but I've been to Pittsburgh,
which is close to West Virginia, and I know how
(26:29):
bad the weather can be there, so it's got to
be even worse in West Virginia. So the term swamp
ass is not all that old. It only goes back
to the nineties, which I guess is a generation ago.
Mid nineties, and it is said to have begun when
an anonymous person on something called usenet called someone's mother
(26:51):
swamp ass. They were in an argument about hockey, so
likely some Canadian lads. The term first popped up in
the Urban Dictionary in twenty oh two. It really took
off about fifteen years ago when an actor named Nathan
(27:13):
Fillin made a PSA about the dangers of developing swamp
ass while gaming. And for those that don't know, it's
obvious if you get in summertime, excessive moisture gets real
moist in your ass crack, sweaty genitals and toukis and
all that. Normally you have that sweat dripping down your
(27:36):
butt crack, you have, your underwear gets wet, possibly some
schafing that goes on itching and the worst part for
many is the smell from swamp ass. And as far
as what you can do, there's a bunch of products
that you can get. There's powders that you can put
on the swamp ass, and I don't know if any
(27:59):
of them work. I have not used any of them,
but there are all kinds of like anti monkey butt
powder you can get.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
There's gold bond that type of stuff. So there you go.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Any of those things knock yourself out. We don't really
have to worry about that. Danny and Radio, we don't
get it. Swamp ass sitting at.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
A radio studio. That was your ass crack tip of
the day.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
There you go for all your ass needs. Turn to
the fifth hour. We're here to help you out. That's
a drop.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Yeah, let me add that to the metalcock. H Well,
what the heck? Why not?
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Well we'll get out on that, Danny. It is Friday,
the second day of August.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Anything you want to promote here, I'm gonna have a
fun Friday afternoon show today with Covino and Rich doing
the game, not Chipotle Worker or WNBA player because the
Olympics are going on. I've been doing chip Worker or Olympian.
So you'll find out if we have a winner, a
contestant on the line, who wins one of our water
(29:07):
bottles or not. That's five to seven pm on the
East side, and that's two to four pm in beautiful Chico, California,
where it's one hundred and seventy degrees right now. Yeah,
and they have a big fire up there.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Oh yeah, that's fire season now it's back. Didn't have
a bad fire season last year or so. Oh, Southern
California kind of was fortunate this summer so far.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Yeah, and we'll see what happens. I have a wonderful,
wonderful rest of your day to day here on this Friday.
Don't forget.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Yeah, Saturday in Vegas we and lost wages in the
botto tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
A bunch of hookers and cocaine. Stay tuned. Asta pasta,
got a murder. I gotta go.
Kutbooms.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
of the Old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
The Fifth Hour with Ben Mallard starts right.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Now in the air everywhere. The Fifth Hour with Me,
Big Ben and Danny g Radio. Happy Friday to you.
The day before a very big event in the mal
of Militia. We'll talk about that as we work our
(00:47):
way through the Fifth Hour, The Extra Crispy, Extra Spicy,
Not Original Recipe Podcast. You hear me every night during
the week on the overnight show. You here Danny with
Covido and Rich during the week can on the weekends
here for the Fifth Hour podcast. We thank you for listening.
I like the degree of difficult Danny. While I'm talking,
(01:08):
It's like being lou Garrick having my voice bounce back
into my head. The degree of difficulty is outstanding. I
like that the company knows I like a challenge. I
thank them for that.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Well, you know, Ben, this high tech equipment we use
to podcast every weekend cost one hundred and eighty seven
dollars and iHeart is still in debt because of these headsets.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yeah, I'm gonna go on Amazon and buy a vintage
nineteen eighty one mister microphone is what I'm going to
buy instead of the one thousand dollars microphone I'm talking
into right now. Not that I'm complaining, Not that I
am complaining. How can you complain? It's the second day
of August, it is National ice cream Sandwich day to day,
(01:50):
dully an ice cream sandwich. Now, I'm I'm a purist
with my ice cream sandwich. I don't know about you, Danny,
but when it comes to the ice cream sandwich, for me,
it's a big scoop, a couple scoops of vanilla ice
cream and two chocolate chip cookies, soft delicious chocolate chip
cookies slapped around that vanilla ice cream. Now, if you
(02:11):
want to go next level, I'm okay with little chocolate
chips around the vanilla. But amazing, absolutely amazing chef's kiss
to the ice cream sandwich. And there's endless possibilities. But
like I said, I'm a purist, and this time of
the year, it's perfect that it's on August second, because
it's summer and this is when you're supposed to have
(02:32):
a day to celebrate the ice cream sandwich.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
It's hot. Got to enjoy yourself a little bit. I
like the old school ice cream sandwich, the vanilla. But
they have like the chocolate. Yes, okay, yeah, those are
all right. No, those are better than all right.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Now, they're not better than our yeah they are, Okay. Listen,
there's a place here in la In it's west of
the four or five, so I don't go there very often.
There's a creamery that makes the greatest ice cream sandwich
in southern California, and the greatest I've had on the
West coast. Actually, they have some of them you can
get at like local grocery stores around here. But that's
(03:09):
my go to for the ice cream sandwich. We're hanging
out with all weekend long, and we'll be in Vegas.
I'll be in Vegas on Saturday. Yeah, speaking of cream,
we'll be hanging out having a great time. We'll talk
about why we're going to Vegas and what that's all about.
I did want to announce that this podcast different than
(03:30):
almost all other podcasts, probably wondering why is that.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Oh, because it's sponsored by Rapid Radio. That's what we're
broadcasting on right now. That's right, walkie talkies. We love
our rapid radios. I like that we're being teased. Every
time you walk into the building, there's a whole wall
of rapid radios. And do you know anything about that, Danny?
Speaker 3 (03:49):
I have you gotten to the bottom of the rapid
radios against the wall?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, when you walk in. What's the details on that one? Here, sir?
Yesterday on Thursday afternoon, right as our pre show meeting
was ending for Covino and Rich Scott, our boss got
on a conference call with us and gave us the
lowdown on those walkie talkies. He did, Yeah, they're they're
figuring out how to charge them and program them right now.
We're gonna be able to even take the suckers home.
(04:16):
But we got to record videos once a week with
them for the sponsor. Okay, ah, so they're for us
to have fun with, but also a marketing tool. But
are there cameras in them? They are cameras. No, We're
gonna have to film ourselves like on an ig video
or whatever social media platform, gotcha.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Okay, all right, I was wondering what they were doing there.
I knew you'd have the answer because you're there during
the day. I'm not there during the day. I don't
know what's going on. But the reason that this podcast
is different we have a studio audience.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
We're exciting both your dogs. That is correct. We have
in my podcast studio. Here we have Moxie.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
She is sleeping right now, laying on her side with
her tongue out, and we have behind Moxie, let me
check here we have Luigi, who looks bored to death.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
So side by side him, thousands of listeners right now.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Living the dream right now. If at any moment they
get riled up, they might start barking. If one my
takes is Missus the mark Danny, it might lead to
a to a bark.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
All right.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I'm just letting you know, you the listener, that if
you hear a bark, it's probably gonna be Moxie, not Luigi.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
But they are now.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
MAXI did wake up because I looked at Moxie, so
she woke up. Here my bulldog, my English bulldog, and
she's now staring at me, wondering why I'm looking at her.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
So we've we've got that. Last week I bought a
dog and I need them emotion.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Let's get get to the meat of the matter here, Danny.
Call this the pre and the post if you will.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah, we've never done anything like this before. Well, I've
never titled any of our podcasts pre show or postgame show.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Well, let's start with Viva Las Vegas, which is not
It's like the primer. You know how when you paint,
you're supposed to put primer on. Sure, some people don't
do it, but you're supposed to do it. So this
is make sure it has a lot of lead in it.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Well, if you're of our age, you grew up with that.
And look at us now, Danny, we're doing so well.
The malor Meet and greet Viva Las Vegas tomorrow. How
exciting is that we're gonna be in Vegas. In fact,
I'll be heading to Vegas later today. When we get
done with this podcast, I will be getting in the Malamobile.
(06:42):
I'll be cruising through Victorville Apple Valley. I will then
go on to Barstow, actually yourmo then Barstow work my
way through the California Desert, go through beautiful Baker, California,
home of the Mad Greek and the world's largest thermometer.
Then I will make my way to prim Nevada. I
will wave at Whiskey Pete's. I will also mourn the
(07:03):
loss of that mall right on the state line when
you cross California and the Nevada.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I used to love that mall.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
There was a great, big and tall store there that
I would go to get shirts that were like seventy
percent off the normal price, but that closed during COVID,
so I can't go there anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I'll wave at Buffalo.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Bills, and then I'll keep going and I'll go right
in past the Death Star where your Raiders play, and
I'll make my way into Lost Wages, Nevada, the greatness
of the Raiders, and we'll be hanging out. And then
on Saturday, Saturday, not sure who's going to be there.
(07:41):
We had a couple of people call up the other
night that were flying in. We have at least the
two people flying in from the Bay Area, which is
very exciting, and it's on like Donkey Kong. The likely
final mallar meet and greet of twenty twenty four, with
football season getting underway, we had the Hall of Fame
game on Thursday last night here the Bears in the Texas.
(08:05):
I would imagine that we're not going to have any
more of these during football season. So this is it Beva,
Las Vegas. It's tomorrow, which is you should know. It's
August third, today's August second. It's at the Stakeout Bar
and Grill. That's the Maryland Parkway location forty eight hundred
south of Maryland Parkway. It's right near the UNLV campus.
When I was a kid growing up, to me, the
(08:28):
sexiest basketball program in college basketball. I love college basketball
because that was when it was in the golden era
was UNLV Tark the Shark. I was so impressed the
Thomas and Max Center there on the campus of UNLV.
It looked like an NBA arena, and they had all
these future NBA players on that team. And I grew
up in Orange County, I didn't grow up far from
(08:49):
the campus of UC Irvine. The Anteaters, and so that
was always the biggest game of the year, and they
sell out that game and I got to go to
it a few times and it was like oh man,
this is crazy, like a big rock band showed up.
So now you want to be no good at basketball
anymore or football. But they have a really good program
if you want to work in hotels, they got a
(09:12):
really good program there. Uh and aywow, well it's right
here to you and to be king.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
It wasn't Tart the coach who was famous for biting
and chewing on a towel.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Yes, yes, Jerry Tarkanian would do that. He also coached
the Spurs. He got an NBA job for like a month.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
And yeah, and then he went to Fresno.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Right, Yeah, he was at Fresno. There was some guys
with samurai swords that were on his team.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
That was a mess. And I actually interviewed Jerry.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Tarkiani on the radio, which was one of the more
disappointing moments in my career because I had looked up
to him my entire life and Jerry was totally distracted.
He agreed to do the interview, but he was driving.
He wasn't driving. Somebody was driving him around and he
was like playing games with his grandkids, which is great
and wonderful, but.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
We uh, patty cake, patty Cake, all right, what's your
next question. Yeah, it was one of those deals. Danny.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I was like, oh man, what are we doing here?
This is not this is not good, not good at all.
We'll be in Vegas, not just me. Normally these meet
and greets are just me. But Eddie's flying in. I
don't know why he doesn't just drive, but he's flying
in for the day.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
First class, little taste, and then flying out that night.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
We've got Coop is driving, Loraina driving with Coop.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Coop is probably flying high well even though he's on
the ground.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Yeah, but they'll they'll be together and we'll be we'll
be hanging out. So far, we've gotten RSVPs from Rob
in Vegas. Avery in Vegas is gonna be there. So
there's a couple of big names. We know that KGB
is flying in from the Bay Area or Nesto.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
We've we've met.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
He was at the Minnesota Malor Meet and greet, he
was at the Seattle Meet and greet, and so he's
been to several of these things over the years and
he will be at this one as well. So it's
excited to see those guys again. And there's a bunch
of people's super Bowarke at Steve's driving in from LA.
We know that, and a bunch of other people of RSVPED,
one of our big fans in Minnesota is supposed to
(11:12):
fly in. So I don't know who's actually gonna be there, Danny.
I've talked about this over the years, that a lot
of people say they're going to be there and then
life gets in the way, right, something comes up and
they don't make it. So we'll show up now. Schedule
from three o'clock till five o'clock in Vegas. I set
it for two hours. In case it sucks, I'll get
out of there. But if it's if it's good, you know,
(11:33):
i'll stay longer than I'm not gonna stay for two hours,
but that's the bare minimum.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yeah, I feel like you're going to be there for
three hours. At least three or four hours. I'll be
there most likely, and you wonly eat, even though you'll
be craving chicken fingers the entire time.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Well, I have been doing some extreme fasting recently, but
I will I will, I will not likely eat your
right because normally I feel guilty though, you know, Danny,
because I want to say hello to everybody.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I feel like exactly yeah, I know. Yeah, You've talked
about this before when we had our Southern California Meet
and greet. What it is is, you are busy talking
with everybody, so you feel like it would be rude
if you're eating a chicken finger that has ranch on
it right in front of a listener. Well, that would
never happen.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
There's no ranch all out. If I see anyone eating ranch,
I'm kicking them out. Okay, I am kicking them out.
I want to thank Slug. Also, Slug is the host
of this. He did all the leg work. He's our
boots on the ground. Yeah, so I want to thank Slug.
Thank you Slug.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Oh yeah, but have some extra ranch on the table
for Benny when he arrives. No ranch, no ranch will
be harmed at all.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
I believe that ranch matters, and I don't want to
I don't want to take ranch away and kill ranch.
But the thing about this, and this has always been
my theory, the time right, the most valuable commodity that
we all have is time. And as I've gotten older
and I've been to way too many funerals over the years,
in the last like ten years of my life here,
(13:00):
so you can't buy more of it. And we know
all don't those story. Once it's gone, that's it. You
can't replenish it. You don't know how much you have.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
And you know you don't want to waste it and
all that.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
So if you're willing to give your time up to
hang out with us, you don't want to watch me
eat a chicken.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Finger or something like that. Disgusting.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
He wants to watch me eat I'm disgusting when I'm naughty,
you certainly don't.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Want to watch. So this is like we took our
our daughter who's about to enter eighth grade. We took
the kids to In and Out a few nights back,
and she had the what do they call the dressing
the Yeah, is like an orange kind of yellow. Yeah,
I'm glad you described it, because she had it dripping
(13:41):
down her fingers and her wrist. Get a napkin, you
filthy animal? Yeah, And can you imagine? And we've been
teasing her because she's starting to get to the age
where she wants to have her first boyfriend. And I said, well,
you better not let this guy ever take you to
In and Out because they'll break up with you on
the spot. And what did she say to that. She
just laughed. Oh yeah, no, we won't fight back on that. Yeah,
(14:09):
you're right though, it is gross when some people eat,
like right in front of your face. Yeah, if they're
a if they're a you know, a messy eater, especially now.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
I would argue the most famous incident that happened in
the meet and greet is when Wayne from Southee I
did it for Mala, a famous drop seven years for Mala.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Also does it count as a meet and greet? When
we did the pitch the Baker's Field get together, that
was a meet and greet. Of course we had a
famous Air Force listener who Air Force Andrew took his
shirt off out after he got kicked out by security.
He took his shirt off and tried to get sneak
(14:52):
back in. His disguise was that he didn't have a
shirt on. Yeah I was.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
I was a bull. Strategy hard to believe. The security
guard figured him out. My favorite part of the Baker's
Field meet and greet and was hosted by Rod the
Ambassador of bakers Field.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, nice steak dinner which was great.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
We had a great dinner which was which was wonderful.
Remember I had an issue with the tip.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yeah, I wasn't. You thought you were sliding the waiter
a one hundred dollars bill and it was accidentally a
ten dollar bill. Yeah, like I didn't.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
I tried to be smooth, and I totally screwed it up.
I totally effed up. So it was a problem there.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
So you're like a Hollywood star sitting there like a
big hog at the table with a pipe, and you
give this guy the secret handshake. He gets back to
the kitchen and he has a ten dollars bill. Yeah. Oops,
I had to go back and give him some more money.
But yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
The thing that's also about that I remember is it
was oppressively hot, as it often is in the summer
in Bakersfield, and that we closed the minor league team down,
but at seven o'clock it was still like around one
hundred degrees.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Yeah. In their their VIP section was literally just those
plastic pipes yeah that you can, you know, stick together
for ladder ball and with holes drilled in it. And
the water was dripping down the one above your head
in the VIP section was dripping right on your head,
big puddles.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Well, not only that it dripped some of it got
in my in my crotch, so it looked like I
had urinated my pants.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
You killed it like hanging out.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
With listeners and if they didn't know what happened, they're like, oh, boy, Meller,
he had to pee his pants like it's a diaper,
you know.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
I was like, no, no.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
I had nothing happened there. It was just the thing
dripped from the cool zone or whatever they were calling
it at the time.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
So bad off.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
But Wayne, Wayne in South he's tried to get me hammered.
At the one in Boston. We actually me and Blind
Scott and a couple of other fellas, the couple from Maine.
We took off and the guy from one of the
guys from Toronto came down and we just started walking
around Boston. Then we ended up walking to see Vinnie.
Another list who was working that night worked at the
(17:01):
Marriott Hotel where a lot of the visiting teams would stay.
So we went down and saw our guy Vinnie, and
it was fun.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
It was a good night.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
So we'll see what happened. Seattle was awesome. Had a
great time in Seattle. We had that one with JJ
and Rant and Robbie the Mariner fan, some big names
were at that event. Nostradinas among the Northwestern contingent that
made an appearance at the mal of Meat greet there.
So it's always always cool to do these things. So
we look forward to tomorrow. I hope you can be
(17:31):
there and we'll obviously have a lot of people in
Vegas that are fans of the show, so we'll see
what happens.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I did want to mention briefly the.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Recap on the Malor Palooza twenty twenty four, as it
is a final it is in the books, and congratulations
to everyone that participated in that.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Some big name acts.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
We didn't have as many music acts as we've had
in the past, so some of the fellas from the
past we're not in. Our buddy from Richmond did not
submit a song this year. We lost our guy from
from Flint, Michigan. He didn't send a song in obviously,
our buddy in the Ukraine busy helping out the Ukrainian
(18:14):
military and Jayscoop, so he wasn't part of it.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
But we had our.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Favorite judge back, Inka Terror from New York as always
wonderful classically trained musician.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Look him up. He's known as Inca Warrior. You're gonna
look him up. I'm not making that up.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
That's he's performed all over the world and he's a
fan of the show. And he was with us as
a judge. And we had some terrible comedy we had.
We had Leprechaun sucked. I mean, there were some bad acts,
but I mean people were trying. And the top four,
the final four, if you will, we had Pam and
(18:50):
Seattle who won last year, a classically trained musician who
may or may not be friends with InKo Terror Christy
in Kansas, who I like a She did like a
Yankee doodle Dandy last year. This year she did an
original song about watermelon, which I thought was great. I
really like her her ability, and I hope she can
(19:12):
be in this every year. I think she should win
one of these years. I think she's great. And then
Ohioal who is amazing and just wonderful and just knocked
it out of.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
The park, but he didn't win. The winner.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Coming out of left field, Rob in the three two
one from the Sunshine State Wow and Rob did a
song in a SpongeBob voice. It was a SpongeBob song
about our show, and he won the Popular vote in
the studio. He won the vote of the people. So
(19:48):
congratulations to Rob in the three two one, you are
the winner of the Mallet paloozat twenty twenty four and
you deserved it. And we only had a couple people, Danny,
that didn't show up. Normally there's a bunch of people
that don't show up. We only had a couple, so
overall it was a success and I love it. I
love hearing entertainment and people are so talented and sometimes
people just don't get a chance in life to show
(20:09):
what the ability they have, and so this is a stage.
Get your adrenaline going there and perform, and.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
So thank you. I do appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Pretty pretty, pretty cool. Ernie Banks would be proud. As
I always say, Danny, it's a beautiful day for a
radio show. Let's do two today and so Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday. It's exactly what I did as I was invited.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Oh yeah, yeah, I saw this on social media.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
I was invited to sit in on the Rogan and
Rodney show and Rogan was not there. Fred the Dean
of LA Sports was gone on vacation.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Instead of two pros and a cup of Joe it
was no pros and two hose pretty much pretty much. Yeah,
that's good name. I like that. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
So Rodney Pete, former Lions quarterback and played at SC
he was gone. We think he was on Magic Johnson's
boat in the south of France, but we don't know.
But I said it with Jonas three days. I did
Monday and Tuesday seven hours of live radio, and then
on Wednesday we did six hours of live radio. Was
(21:24):
not in Siberia. Actually didn't think it was all that difficult.
And I feel like I was prepared for this, Danny,
because back in twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen, I was
at the Salt Mine in the sweatshop. I want to
thank my friends over at WEI in Boston because in
(21:46):
twenty seventeen to twenty eighteen, pretty much for two solid years,
I did two or three nights a week at Wei.
So the way that would work, obviously, I was in
Boston and I was doing it remotely.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I loved your hockey takes back then.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Let me tell you it was so funny. I had
to do this thing called Red Sox Review, which is
the Red Sox postgame talk show like Dodger Talk out here.
So they said, hey, it's part of the night programming.
When the Red Sox game ends, you got to get
on there and talk about the Sox game.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
So it's fine.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
I watched the game on the satellite and then I'd
talk about the game, but i'd have people, you know,
let's go to John Leaving Finway talking about it was hilarious.
It was wild, wild and crazy. But I did that
two or three nights a week. So that was three
hours of local radio in Boston and then the four
hours on the overnight. And so I did that, like
(22:39):
I said, two or three nights a week. But in
those days, I couldn't do the Fox Show from the
remote studio, so I had to drive in. So I
would do the EI Show. I would then have one
hour to get from my.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Place.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I was living in Glendora at the time, so I
had one hour to get from there to Sherman Oaks,
and if there was any kind of an accident or anything,
I was completely porked.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
That was it.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
So but I was able to put it off. And
so I'm I'm like, this is much much better now,
but I want the record to show that I did
still go in for the overnight show, and there was
enough time between shows where I had a chance to
kind of decompress for an hour and then crank the
engine up again and get back on the horse with Jonas.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Did you guys just rip on every LA team except
the Clippers? Yeah? We I ripped the Dodgers. I mean Jonas.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Jonas is an assassin, yeah, for the teams.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
And he's like you he if people are swimming this direction,
he goes in the opposite direction.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Well, I love the Dodgers, but I also hate bullshit. So, like,
the trade deadline was.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Going on, and uh, that.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Swarmy Vassa who you know, he's the Dodger insider travels
with the team.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Oh I saw him on MLB Network the other day.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Yeah, so he comes on there it's like an hour,
half an hour to go before the deadline, and he's like.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yeah, I think the Dodgers they got what they needed.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
You know, they got Tommy Edmond and they got Kopek
from the from the White Sox.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I think they're good, you know, company man. And I'm like, no,
this is the freaking Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
This isn't the nineteen eighties or nineties Dodgers. This is
the modern Dodgers. This is not acceptable. This is embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I know.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
I mean, come on, go ahead, get me a starting pitcher,
get Jack Flaherty. And then it was so cool because
literally three minutes until we were passing the baton over
to Petrol some money, we had Victor brick on for
a haikup and.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
No, God, that's award winning radio. I love Vic.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
But oh god, I get the flash, he said, Yoko
Zuna of Radio. I get the flash. Dodgers have traded
for Jack Flaherty.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yeah, Tiger, you put that out into the universe. I
was like, yeah, there we go, there we go.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Now I give the do I originally gave the Dodgers
an A minus and then I lowered it to a
B plus because Jack Filert will get hurt.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
But I don't care. I like that they got him.
He's a so cow guy.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
I felt like a dinosaur, and you probably did too
if you saw the photo that Jack Flherty's mom.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Sent out him.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
As a toddler wearing a Dodger like onesie in nineteen
ninety seven, when I was working on the Dodger flagshift
station doing Dodger pregame programming.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
In nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Holy crap, where's the time gone? But anyway, I was
happy about that, so it was fun a couple of days.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
The phrase of.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
The the phrase of the week. Now this is by request.
The request came in from wild Man of Morgan, West Virginia.
He says, it's the time of the year. Me, being
a guy that works outdoors, I get soaked with sweat everywhere.
I know what swamp ass is. But how did it
(26:07):
come to be? And how can a guy prevent or
counter against it? All right, so he wants us to
look into swamp ass. All right, Now, this is an
interesting request a wild man. And I imagine the humidity.
I've not been to West Virginia, but I've been to Pittsburgh,
which is close to West Virginia, and I know how
(26:29):
bad the weather can be there, so it's got to
be even worse in West Virginia. So the term swamp
ass is not all that old. It only goes back
to the nineties, which I guess is a generation ago.
Mid nineties, and it is said to have begun when
an anonymous person on something called usenet called someone's mother
(26:51):
swamp ass. They were in an argument about hockey, so
likely some Canadian lads. The term first popped up in
the Urban Dictionary in twenty oh two. It really took
off about fifteen years ago when an actor named Nathan
(27:13):
Fillin made a PSA about the dangers of developing swamp
ass while gaming. And for those that don't know, it's
obvious if you get in summertime, excessive moisture gets real
moist in your ass crack, sweaty genitals and toukis and
all that. Normally you have that sweat dripping down your
(27:36):
butt crack, you have, your underwear gets wet, possibly some
schafing that goes on itching and the worst part for
many is the smell from swamp ass. And as far
as what you can do, there's a bunch of products
that you can get. There's powders that you can put
on the swamp ass, and I don't know if any
(27:59):
of them work. I have not used any of them,
but there are all kinds of like anti monkey butt
powder you can get.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
There's gold bond that type of stuff. So there you go.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Any of those things knock yourself out. We don't really
have to worry about that. Danny and Radio, we don't
get it. Swamp ass sitting at.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
A radio studio. That was your ass crack tip of
the day.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
There you go for all your ass needs. Turn to
the fifth hour. We're here to help you out. That's
a drop.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Yeah, let me add that to the metalcock. H Well,
what the heck? Why not?
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Well we'll get out on that, Danny. It is Friday,
the second day of August.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Anything you want to promote here, I'm gonna have a
fun Friday afternoon show today with Covino and Rich doing
the game, not Chipotle Worker or WNBA player because the
Olympics are going on. I've been doing chip Worker or Olympian.
So you'll find out if we have a winner, a
contestant on the line, who wins one of our water
(29:07):
bottles or not. That's five to seven pm on the
East side, and that's two to four pm in beautiful Chico, California,
where it's one hundred and seventy degrees right now. Yeah,
and they have a big fire up there.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Oh yeah, that's fire season now it's back. Didn't have
a bad fire season last year or so. Oh, Southern
California kind of was fortunate this summer so far.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Yeah, and we'll see what happens. I have a wonderful,
wonderful rest of your day to day here on this Friday.
Don't forget.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Yeah, Saturday in Vegas we and lost wages in the
botto tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
A bunch of hookers and cocaine. Stay tuned. Asta pasta,
got a murder. I gotta go.
