Speaker 1 (00:01):
If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
of the Old Republic, a sol fastion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Wow to clearing House of hot takes, break free for
something special.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
The Fifth Hour with Ben Mallard starts right now.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
In the air.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Everywhere, The Fifth Hour with Me big Man and Danny
g Radio, A Happy Sunday to you, A glorious and
wonderful Sunday here, as we'll dive right in to the
mail bag on a day that is always always a
(00:55):
big day Sunday, because I go back.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
It's double header duty.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
We got the podcast here and then tonight back in
the radio dojo as we celebrate National Chocolate Chip Cookie Days.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
So it's a big, big holiday here.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
And the meet and greet was on Saturday and quite
quite the event there, Dan.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Yeah, you sent me some pictures and we'll break it
down blow for blow Friday, and I'm sure you'll have
me label it as the postgame Show. No, I've never
done that before.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
No, No, we never would never want to do that.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
We'd never save all the stories to try to get
you squeeze another podcast out of something that we did, right, Yeah,
I know Terry and England loves when we do this.
Terry thinks that we're conniving and all that, and he
sends nasty messages on X some of these guys.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
But you know, just chill out, Okay, take a chill pill.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Yeah, go eat, go eat some bangers and mashe along.
Let's stop being right, Terry. Yeah, don't be right, Terry.
Don't you don't have to be a schmuck and ruin
our fun. Okay, you don't have to do that. But
it is a mailbag kind of a day and we
have a lot, a lot to get a lot to
get to.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
So let's jump right in.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Surprised you're not leftover high right now? After smoking with
the listeners, Well, I am saying hi to you, Danny.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
There's a lot of a lot of weed consumption here
in the Nevada desert, that is for sure. It's all right,
(02:45):
thank you, ohio Al. These are actual letters from actual
listeners to the show. If you'd like to send a
letter in, you can do it care of Real Fifth
Hour at gmail dot com. It's real fifth hour at
gmail dot com, and let's get started with Mike in Fullerton.
He says, Hey, Ben, Benny, m and Danny G. Have
(03:08):
you guys ever heard of anything more impressive than doing
twenty hours of sports talk radio and only three days?
That's got to be a record, right who. It was
accomplished earlier this week by some guy on the blowtorch
A five seventy. Do either of you think you have
the stamina and intestinal fortitude needed to match or beat
(03:31):
that record?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yeah, Mike, there's no way.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Anyone could do twenty hours of sports radio in three days.
No one would want to hear someone do twenty hours
of sports radio in three days. There's no way, right, Danny,
come on, ridiculous, Not right at all.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
How many stories did you have to recycle? Probably not
many because I know you can blowviate.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I didn't really recycle, as I remember, maybe one because
of the trade deadline Jack Flaherty, But other than that,
I was pretty proud of myself because you know, Danny,
I have attention devas disorder. I'm jealous of guys like
Colin Cowherd that can do one hour radio and just
repeat it for the entire day.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I can't do it. I'm not wired that way. I
hate when.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
There's like a story that we have to talk about
every hour, because I love the editorial freedom that we
have to talk about something different every hour, and it
drives me nuts. And there's some guys that can do it,
and they're usually the highest paid people in radio, where
they just do one topic and they just repeat it,
and I just am not wired that way. I get
(04:43):
so freakin' bored doing that style of radio. So I
talked about different stuff, diff different angles and whatnot. Thank you,
Mike Jimmy from Renancho Kuckoonga.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Home of Next Friday. Yeah, great town name. It was
forever Embolden And there were some songs about Rancho Cuckamonga.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Man.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
It's nothing better on a gloomy day.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Ben and Danny appreciate the grind it is. Ben, I
was wondering what your schedule is like this week when
you were doing Rogan Rodney in addition to your overnight show,
did you have any.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Free time?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Well, we talked about this a little bit in a
previous episode of the podcast. I would like to point
out that it wasn't it wasn't too bad. Like I
do have high standards and all that. There was at
one point where I was tired of hearing myself talk.
But it's not like I had.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
A till of the hun that was like looking down
on me.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
The benevolent dictatorship was forcing me to do this. They
asked me if I wanted to do it, and I
was like, yeah, I'll do it. You know, the rare
and appropriate fill in and all that stuff. It's like,
but I wasn't hanging out with the dungeon master. And
so what happen is I would wake up, I would
waddle down to the remote studio. I would talk to
(06:13):
the producer, Kevin Figures and Ronnie Foscio and those guys,
and then Jonas and I would do the show for
three hours. I would then take about an hour to
try to unwind, unplug, and then I'd get right back
into prep mode and get ready for the overnight show.
And then I'd do some prep for that and start
(06:34):
getting some notes together for monologues, and then head off
to the Sherman Oak Studios from the north Woods where
I reside and do it again. And then I'd come
home and I'd throw some notes together for the afternoon show,
and then I'd go to bed and then get up
and do it all over again. So that was pretty
much it. Not the most riveting life, not the.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Rock star life. I thought you were supposed to live
the rock star life, Danny.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
No.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I mean, I can't imagine doing that many hours with
so many different topics each day. I think like an
appropriate punishment if somebody like the Mob ever got a
hold of you for owing them money or something, if
you were like a Pete Rose type dude, they can
put you in a padded room and play back all
the hours of radio you did that day and force
(07:22):
you to hear it all.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Now, that would be about as bad as you'd want
to lose your hearing at that point. Next up on
the Mailbag, ohio Al writes in one of our key
participants and a finalist for the Benny Award, the Malapalooza
Award from the contest that we had. He says, Hey, Benny,
to answer the question raised by Eddie on the Overnight show, Yes,
(07:46):
I play my own guitar, sing and blow and suck
the harmonica too.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Maybe you can suck on it and that'll make it better.
I'm a one man band.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Ohio Al says the song I submitted was done live,
just recorded prior to the show for sound quality, singing
and playing into my cell phone live during the show
would sound like crap is By the way, I am
disappointed in Lorena's eight score, especially considering I sent her
(08:22):
the Hey there Lorena song, but ohio Al, putting a
positive spin on the situation, says that Inka Tera giving
him a thirteen score made up for it because he
knows music. Not a sore loser.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
Though.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Props to the three two one guy with the SpongeBob song,
although the background music did not come through on the
podcast for some reason. Great Mallard Paloza once.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Again keep up the fun.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Well, thank you, ohiol I loved the tune that you
sent in. It was great. You knocked it out of
the park. Good job by you. You're very talented man.
You know that big fans of your work here. We
play your stuff on this podcast all the time. And
you understand, Eddie is a curmudgeon, He's gruff, He's mister Gruff.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
So you got to take that into your evaluation.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
How about shut up.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
And Eddie thinks no one has a life, and everyone's
just going to stay up and perform live on the air, and.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
It's just not based in reality. I don't know what
was going on with Lorrain in that score. I thought
that was a ridiculously low score.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Bad job by her. But you were great, you were wonderful.
Thank you, And I don't know what else I can say.
I'm giving you your flowers right now. I don't like
doing things like this, but I'm giving you the flowers.
And You've got on this show because you're so talented.
(09:53):
You have the latitude, the freedom, the artistic freedom to
come up with all these different weird songs and everyone's great.
So Ronnie from Covina writes, and he says, that's in
southern California. If you're not familiar, he says, Elon Musk
agreed this week to fight the Venezuelan President. Ben, would
you box David Vassay for charity in a celebrity boxing match?
(10:20):
Do you understand in boxing and they have this thing
called the tail of the tape. I'm a heavyweight. Vessay
is like a lightweight. There's no way we can fight
each other.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Then some fighting words.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
There's no way Vessay would have no chance. Now he's
a little younger than me, but he's not that much
younger than me.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
But what about his agilities? What about his agility? Did
you see him going down that slide in Milwaukee?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Please, man, you know what I would do in the
middle of the fight before round five, if we made
it to round five, I'd pull out my Bernie Brewer bobblehead,
and all of.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
A sudden he'd say no moss and throwing the sponge.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
You'd break his other brittle arm.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Say I'm done. Ron.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
He doesn't want as the kids say that say, does
not want this smoke. He can't handle this smoke.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
He can't.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Barry from South Carolina previously in Nashville says Yo Yo, Ma,
Benny and Danny g we have another conspiracy, he says.
So Andre is so proud of his dog. He has
got this Belgian whatever police dog. But he said that
his dog doesn't bark. That's all police dogs do. Barry says,
(11:34):
they go crazy and bark like wild that's part of
their makeupf Earth. He says, Hey, Ben, I am of
the opinion that Andre from the Commonwealth does not have
a dog.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
What about you? Well, it's up in the air. The
jury is still out on this.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
The other night he did have what sounded like a
dog breathing, but I'm not sure. It is very odd
to me the dog does not bark. Considering every dog
I've ever owned, if you want the dog to bark,
there are ways you can get said dog to bark.
(12:16):
There are things you can do to get the dog
to bark.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
And he's He says, no, the dog doesn't bark. I
don't believe.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
I don't believe that.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
So there's something. There's something going on there. I'm not
sure what, but I'm skeptical. I'm skeptical.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Kevin from the Bay rights in on the mailbag. He says, guys,
we haven't gotten a full baby g update.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
In a while.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
On the podcast, how is Danny Sunday? We've talked about
a little bit this weekend. Your son, Yeah, just yesterday.
Speaker 7 (12:45):
Story is right.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Yeah, we mentioned him yesterday because of the birthday party
that's gonna happen later today.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I have any other new developments you want to share
with the class about baby CoA.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
He can swing a bat already. He has two whiffle
ball bats, the big Bam bam bats and it's kind
of funny because you call him Bam bam. That's what
he looks like when he's swinging these things. And he
has quite the arm too. So we have two Dodger
like soft squishy balls in his playpen, and he'll throw
these things from one room to another, and then he
(13:21):
swings those bats over his head as soon as he's
walking around. I'm gonna get him into a batting stance.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Oh, that should be his nickname. Have you given him
a nickname yet, baby?
Speaker 7 (13:30):
Call him?
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Have not? But his middle name is Bryant for Kobe,
so he could be Bam bam Bryant.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Oh dude, that's a great name.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
If you're an athlete, can't wait stepping into the ring,
Bam bam, Bryan like, or if he's a baseball player,
Bam bam.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Let's go, come.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
On, make it happen, me it happened. Next up is
from Dennis. He did not say where he is listening from.
He says, Hey, Ben and Danny, I enjoyed contributing to
lame jokes. Who came up with the idea for that bit?
And when did it start? He says, I have some
questions about your sports radio competitors.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Of the past.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
What happened to Pharrell on the Bench and David Stein
Winter Winter Chicken Dinner. So Dennis, first of all, I
started doing Lame Jokes of the Week. I don't know
ten years ago or something like that. We were trying
to fill out content on the Overnight show. And it's
like I like jokes and guys like dad jokes. I
(14:36):
remember when we started Lame Jokes of the Week, we
only had a couple people that were sending jokes in
so it was not a.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Lot of jokes.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
And then at some point we matured we were able
to take the cake out of the oven and it
fully baked and all that, and now we have way
too many jokes most weeks, I don't even get all
of them on the air.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
So at some point it took off.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
And as far as Pharrell on the Bench and David Signed,
Farrell lives in the New York area.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
We've had him on this podcast.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
He's a friend of mine, part of the Fox Sports
Radio Alumni Association. I don't believe he's doing radio anymore.
Last I talked to Pharrell, he was doing some television
and that's it. Like Parrel on the Bench is like
a TV show now, so you can still find him.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Not hard to track.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
I know he was doing some work for that gambling network.
I'm not sure if he's doing that anymore. He had
some health worries, but I think he fully recovered, which
is good news. I talked to him on Facebook just
a couple of days ago because it was his birthday.
I'll have to check in with him to see if
there's any link to anything, and we'll get him on
the podcast again.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, we definitely bring him back. Pharrell's an icon, a legend.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Maybe he could do Heroin live on the air this time,
just to mix it up variety.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
You know, we've checked the coke box. We'll move on
to something else, all right now. David Stein part of
the Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association winter Winter Chicken Dinner.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
David moved to the South.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I think he's in Atlanta, but he was in South
Carolina and was the pre and postgame host for the
Clemson Tigers radio network. That's a pretty cool job in
college football, back when Clemson was winning national champions I
don't believe he does that anymore. He's a radio guy still.
He was doing like religious sports talk. I don't know
(16:34):
how that went. I never heard it, and he very
religious man David Stein, so I don't know what he's
doing these days.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
He's actually pretty was pretty good friends with Davi. Nine's
sure what he's saying.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Malard's connection in Vegas dropped, So that means I'm in
charge right now? Oh shit? What should I do here?
Speaker 7 (17:03):
All right?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Well?
Speaker 4 (17:05):
I have a lot of Mallard content in my laptop.
So while I try to get Ben reconnected, why didn't
I play something from the archives here that will put
a smile on your face?
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (17:19):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Might? Not?
Speaker 6 (17:20):
Love it?

All right.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Former Texas quarterback won a national championship. Played with the
Tennessee Titans. Now he's out of the NFL. He went bankrupt.
Loves the cheesecake factory. Former Texas quarterback, all right, that
was we were looking for.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Vince Young. He loves the cheesecake. Yeah, he went bankrupt
eating at the chief case.
Speaker 8 (23:15):
You would take like hundreds of people.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
It was very generous, nice guys.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Yeah, all right, you guys got one hundred and sixty
points the right.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
That's not not that okay, Ryan, are you ready?
Speaker 9 (23:28):
That's a tough competition. I'm going to do the best
they can.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Your category you chose is changing of the leaves. It's
famous athletes who change teams after playing at least ten
years for their original team. All right, Eddie you ready?
Speaker 8 (23:42):
I am ready?
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Forty five seconds on the clot go all right.

Arguably the greatest basketball player of all time started with
the Bulls, ended with the Wizards.
Speaker 9 (23:51):
Michael Jordan's all right.
Speaker 8 (23:52):
Hall of Fame wide receivers started with the forty nine Ers,
ended up there, right, Hall of Fame running back started
with the Cowboys and his creer all right. Current Angel
Slugger was a star with the Cardinals. Former NBA center
starred with the Knicks, played at Georgetown. I think he
ended his career with maybe Houston. Human highlight film start
with the Hawks. I think he finished his career with
(24:13):
the Clippers.
Speaker 9 (24:14):
Maybe yes.
Speaker 8 (24:16):
And finally, former NFL defensive back he was a star
with the Eagles and finished his career with the Broncos.
Can we accept just the last dame?
Speaker 4 (24:27):
No, I don't think we can need the whole name,
the whole name.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Because he got one of those.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
He gave the last name also, so I don't know
how we handle this year, right, He didn't give Patrick.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Pretty sure he knew we'll give him that one, but
he needed Dawkins first names Yeah, after the buzzer though, Well,
either way, you away.
Speaker 8 (24:57):
Good job. Ryan were in the league two forty That
was a good job. Let's start.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
You had an easier category than me, though, here we
go me. No, I'm just pointing out that was an
easier category.
Speaker 8 (25:07):
Then blame Andrew for picking a harder Cady.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Andrew, I blame you.
Speaker 7 (25:09):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Okay, Ryan, you're in luck because the way this game works,
you get to choose first. Since you're in the lead,
you have Fall Classic or Trick or Treat. I'm going
to go Fall Classic, Fall Classic, Okay, and Andrew. That's
going to leave you with trick or Treat. Okay, Ryan,
you're back to back. Here you go first Fall Classic.

Carson Palmer.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
People said, up, big bo, Big Ben has a newly
minted Raiders fan. You should agree with that because he
left our team to go to the Cardinals and he
won their first game. Screw you, Carson Palmer.
Speaker 8 (28:37):
I mean that was so I thought you were going
to win that when you needed that hundred though, Ben.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Right, that hundred would have given you guys to win.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
But instead it was Robert Or we were looking for

it's Danny G signing off. Austa pasta, got a murder.
Speaker 6 (34:56):
I gotta go.
If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
of the Old Republic, a sol fastion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Wow to clearing House of hot takes, break free for
something special.
Speaker 1 (00:21):

We got the podcast here and then tonight back in

And the meet and greet was on Saturday and quite
quite the event there, Dan.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Yeah, you sent me some pictures and we'll break it
down blow for blow Friday, and I'm sure you'll have
me label it as the postgame Show. No, I've never
done that before.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
No, No, we never would never want to do that.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
We'd never save all the stories to try to get
you squeeze another podcast out of something that we did, right, Yeah,
I know Terry and England loves when we do this.
Terry thinks that we're conniving and all that, and he
sends nasty messages on X some of these guys.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
But you know, just chill out, Okay, take a chill pill.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Yeah, go eat, go eat some bangers and mashe along.
Let's stop being right, Terry. Yeah, don't be right, Terry.
Don't you don't have to be a schmuck and ruin
our fun. Okay, you don't have to do that. But
it is a mailbag kind of a day and we
have a lot, a lot to get a lot to
get to.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
So let's jump right in.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Surprised you're not leftover high right now? After smoking with
the listeners, Well, I am saying hi to you, Danny.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
There's a lot of a lot of weed consumption here
in the Nevada desert, that is for sure. It's all right,
(02:45):
thank you, ohio Al. These are actual letters from actual
listeners to the show. If you'd like to send a
letter in, you can do it care of Real Fifth
Hour at gmail dot com. It's real fifth hour at
gmail dot com, and let's get started with Mike in Fullerton.
He says, Hey, Ben, Benny, m and Danny G. Have
(03:08):
you guys ever heard of anything more impressive than doing
twenty hours of sports talk radio and only three days?
That's got to be a record, right who. It was
accomplished earlier this week by some guy on the blowtorch
A five seventy. Do either of you think you have
the stamina and intestinal fortitude needed to match or beat
(03:31):
that record?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yeah, Mike, there's no way.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Anyone could do twenty hours of sports radio in three days.
No one would want to hear someone do twenty hours
of sports radio in three days. There's no way, right, Danny,
come on, ridiculous, Not right at all.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
How many stories did you have to recycle? Probably not
many because I know you can blowviate.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I didn't really recycle, as I remember, maybe one because
of the trade deadline Jack Flaherty, But other than that,
I was pretty proud of myself because you know, Danny,
I have attention devas disorder. I'm jealous of guys like
Colin Cowherd that can do one hour radio and just
repeat it for the entire day.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I can't do it. I'm not wired that way. I
hate when.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
There's like a story that we have to talk about
every hour, because I love the editorial freedom that we
have to talk about something different every hour, and it
drives me nuts. And there's some guys that can do it,
and they're usually the highest paid people in radio, where
they just do one topic and they just repeat it,
and I just am not wired that way. I get
(04:43):
so freakin' bored doing that style of radio. So I
talked about different stuff, diff different angles and whatnot. Thank you,
Mike Jimmy from Renancho Kuckoonga.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Home of Next Friday. Yeah, great town name. It was
forever Embolden And there were some songs about Rancho Cuckamonga.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Man.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
It's nothing better on a gloomy day.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Ben and Danny appreciate the grind it is. Ben, I
was wondering what your schedule is like this week when
you were doing Rogan Rodney in addition to your overnight show,
did you have any.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Free time?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Well, we talked about this a little bit in a
previous episode of the podcast. I would like to point
out that it wasn't it wasn't too bad. Like I
do have high standards and all that. There was at
one point where I was tired of hearing myself talk.
But it's not like I had.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
A till of the hun that was like looking down
on me.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
The benevolent dictatorship was forcing me to do this. They
asked me if I wanted to do it, and I
was like, yeah, I'll do it. You know, the rare
and appropriate fill in and all that stuff. It's like,
but I wasn't hanging out with the dungeon master. And
so what happen is I would wake up, I would
waddle down to the remote studio. I would talk to
(06:13):
the producer, Kevin Figures and Ronnie Foscio and those guys,
and then Jonas and I would do the show for
three hours. I would then take about an hour to
try to unwind, unplug, and then I'd get right back
into prep mode and get ready for the overnight show.
And then I'd do some prep for that and start
(06:34):
getting some notes together for monologues, and then head off
to the Sherman Oak Studios from the north Woods where
I reside and do it again. And then I'd come
home and I'd throw some notes together for the afternoon show,
and then I'd go to bed and then get up
and do it all over again. So that was pretty
much it. Not the most riveting life, not the.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Rock star life. I thought you were supposed to live
the rock star life, Danny.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
No.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I mean, I can't imagine doing that many hours with
so many different topics each day. I think like an
appropriate punishment if somebody like the Mob ever got a
hold of you for owing them money or something, if
you were like a Pete Rose type dude, they can
put you in a padded room and play back all
the hours of radio you did that day and force
(07:22):
you to hear it all.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Now, that would be about as bad as you'd want
to lose your hearing at that point. Next up on
the Mailbag, ohio Al writes in one of our key
participants and a finalist for the Benny Award, the Malapalooza
Award from the contest that we had. He says, Hey, Benny,
to answer the question raised by Eddie on the Overnight show, Yes,
(07:46):
I play my own guitar, sing and blow and suck
the harmonica too.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Maybe you can suck on it and that'll make it better.
I'm a one man band.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Ohio Al says the song I submitted was done live,
just recorded prior to the show for sound quality, singing
and playing into my cell phone live during the show
would sound like crap is By the way, I am
disappointed in Lorena's eight score, especially considering I sent her
(08:22):
the Hey there Lorena song, but ohio Al, putting a
positive spin on the situation, says that Inka Tera giving
him a thirteen score made up for it because he
knows music. Not a sore loser.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
Though.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Props to the three two one guy with the SpongeBob song,
although the background music did not come through on the
podcast for some reason. Great Mallard Paloza once.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Again keep up the fun.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Well, thank you, ohiol I loved the tune that you
sent in. It was great. You knocked it out of
the park. Good job by you. You're very talented man.
You know that big fans of your work here. We
play your stuff on this podcast all the time. And
you understand, Eddie is a curmudgeon, He's gruff, He's mister Gruff.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
So you got to take that into your evaluation.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
How about shut up.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
And Eddie thinks no one has a life, and everyone's
just going to stay up and perform live on the air, and.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
It's just not based in reality. I don't know what
was going on with Lorrain in that score. I thought
that was a ridiculously low score.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Bad job by her. But you were great, you were wonderful.
Thank you, And I don't know what else I can say.
I'm giving you your flowers right now. I don't like
doing things like this, but I'm giving you the flowers.
And You've got on this show because you're so talented.
(09:53):
You have the latitude, the freedom, the artistic freedom to
come up with all these different weird songs and everyone's great.
So Ronnie from Covina writes, and he says, that's in
southern California. If you're not familiar, he says, Elon Musk
agreed this week to fight the Venezuelan President. Ben, would
you box David Vassay for charity in a celebrity boxing match?
(10:20):
Do you understand in boxing and they have this thing
called the tail of the tape. I'm a heavyweight. Vessay
is like a lightweight. There's no way we can fight
each other.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Then some fighting words.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
There's no way Vessay would have no chance. Now he's
a little younger than me, but he's not that much
younger than me.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
But what about his agilities? What about his agility? Did
you see him going down that slide in Milwaukee?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Please, man, you know what I would do in the
middle of the fight before round five, if we made
it to round five, I'd pull out my Bernie Brewer bobblehead,
and all of.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
A sudden he'd say no moss and throwing the sponge.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
You'd break his other brittle arm.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Say I'm done. Ron.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
He doesn't want as the kids say that say, does
not want this smoke. He can't handle this smoke.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
He can't.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Barry from South Carolina previously in Nashville says Yo Yo, Ma,
Benny and Danny g we have another conspiracy, he says.
So Andre is so proud of his dog. He has
got this Belgian whatever police dog. But he said that
his dog doesn't bark. That's all police dogs do. Barry says,
(11:34):
they go crazy and bark like wild that's part of
their makeupf Earth. He says, Hey, Ben, I am of
the opinion that Andre from the Commonwealth does not have
a dog.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
What about you? Well, it's up in the air. The
jury is still out on this.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
The other night he did have what sounded like a
dog breathing, but I'm not sure. It is very odd
to me the dog does not bark. Considering every dog
I've ever owned, if you want the dog to bark,
there are ways you can get said dog to bark.
(12:16):
There are things you can do to get the dog
to bark.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
And he's He says, no, the dog doesn't bark. I
don't believe.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
I don't believe that.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
So there's something. There's something going on there. I'm not
sure what, but I'm skeptical. I'm skeptical.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Kevin from the Bay rights in on the mailbag. He says, guys,
we haven't gotten a full baby g update.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
In a while.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
On the podcast, how is Danny Sunday? We've talked about
a little bit this weekend. Your son, Yeah, just yesterday.
Speaker 7 (12:45):
Story is right.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Yeah, we mentioned him yesterday because of the birthday party
that's gonna happen later today.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I have any other new developments you want to share
with the class about baby CoA.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
He can swing a bat already. He has two whiffle
ball bats, the big Bam bam bats and it's kind
of funny because you call him Bam bam. That's what
he looks like when he's swinging these things. And he
has quite the arm too. So we have two Dodger
like soft squishy balls in his playpen, and he'll throw
these things from one room to another, and then he
(13:21):
swings those bats over his head as soon as he's
walking around. I'm gonna get him into a batting stance.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Oh, that should be his nickname. Have you given him
a nickname yet, baby?
Speaker 7 (13:30):
Call him?
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Have not? But his middle name is Bryant for Kobe,
so he could be Bam bam Bryant.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Oh dude, that's a great name.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
If you're an athlete, can't wait stepping into the ring,
Bam bam, Bryan like, or if he's a baseball player,
Bam bam.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Let's go, come.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
On, make it happen, me it happened. Next up is
from Dennis. He did not say where he is listening from.
He says, Hey, Ben and Danny, I enjoyed contributing to
lame jokes. Who came up with the idea for that bit?
And when did it start? He says, I have some
questions about your sports radio competitors.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Of the past.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
What happened to Pharrell on the Bench and David Stein
Winter Winter Chicken Dinner. So Dennis, first of all, I
started doing Lame Jokes of the Week. I don't know
ten years ago or something like that. We were trying
to fill out content on the Overnight show. And it's
like I like jokes and guys like dad jokes. I
(14:36):
remember when we started Lame Jokes of the Week, we
only had a couple people that were sending jokes in
so it was not a.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Lot of jokes.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
And then at some point we matured we were able
to take the cake out of the oven and it
fully baked and all that, and now we have way
too many jokes most weeks, I don't even get all
of them on the air.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
So at some point it took off.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
And as far as Pharrell on the Bench and David Signed,
Farrell lives in the New York area.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
We've had him on this podcast.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
He's a friend of mine, part of the Fox Sports
Radio Alumni Association. I don't believe he's doing radio anymore.
Last I talked to Pharrell, he was doing some television
and that's it. Like Parrel on the Bench is like
a TV show now, so you can still find him.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Not hard to track.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
I know he was doing some work for that gambling network.
I'm not sure if he's doing that anymore. He had
some health worries, but I think he fully recovered, which
is good news. I talked to him on Facebook just
a couple of days ago because it was his birthday.
I'll have to check in with him to see if
there's any link to anything, and we'll get him on
the podcast again.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, we definitely bring him back. Pharrell's an icon, a legend.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Maybe he could do Heroin live on the air this time,
just to mix it up variety.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
You know, we've checked the coke box. We'll move on
to something else, all right now. David Stein part of
the Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association winter Winter Chicken Dinner.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
David moved to the South.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I think he's in Atlanta, but he was in South
Carolina and was the pre and postgame host for the
Clemson Tigers radio network. That's a pretty cool job in
college football, back when Clemson was winning national champions I
don't believe he does that anymore. He's a radio guy still.
He was doing like religious sports talk. I don't know
(16:34):
how that went. I never heard it, and he very
religious man David Stein, so I don't know what he's
doing these days.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
He's actually pretty was pretty good friends with Davi. Nine's
sure what he's saying.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Malard's connection in Vegas dropped, So that means I'm in
charge right now? Oh shit? What should I do here?
Speaker 7 (17:03):
All right?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Well?
Speaker 4 (17:05):
I have a lot of Mallard content in my laptop.
So while I try to get Ben reconnected, why didn't
I play something from the archives here that will put
a smile on your face?
Speaker 3 (17:18):
