Kabooms.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to the clearing
House of hot takes, break free for something special. The

Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.

In the air Everywhere The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Mallor and Danny g Radio. As we slide into the
Sunday portion of the Fifth Hour podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
As we are hanging out, we want to thank you guys.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
The downloads have been great supporting the show. Was a
wacky weekend last weekend, but we're back to the normal
Shenanigans this weekend. It was great to catch up with
the Godfather Eddie Garcia on the Friday pod and then
on Saturday our buddy Nico who made that Van coover
meet and Greek possible. So that was awesome to talk
to him. But now Danny old school deep into the
(01:05):
mail bag.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Yeah, you know, it was cool hearing Eddie too, because
last weekend some of the drops and famous clips of
the show that I put in our best of featured
Eddie and Me and you and Coop when we were
all together on the Overnight show, and I got some
listener feedback saying, man, that was great hearing the classic
crew together, and so that was perfect timing to have
(01:26):
Eddie on this weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
So it was great to talk to Eddie about the hockey,
which apparently no one's watching, but we talked about it anyway,
why not and what the hell?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
All right? So we have now.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
The big open Oh yeah, full letters, ohio al.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
And yeah, you know what, it's time for male mother.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
It's very nice.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
So thank you, ohio out Real fifth Hour at gmail
dot com.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
We've been very You guys have been good.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Not us.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
We haven't done anything different, but the.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Podcast has done well and so there's more people listening,
there's more people that write, and so it's pretty cool.
But you can if you want to join the fun
and send a question in Real Fifth Hour at gmail
dot com. All letters, not numbers, and the first one
up is from PAULG. From Thomasville, Georgia. He says a
long time Saint Petersburg, Florida. He says, all right, so
(02:35):
I guess he's been in Thomasville, Georgia and Saint Petersburg, Florida.
He says, I enjoy all the shows. I have a
suggestion for the Fifth Hour guest. All right, Danny, I'm
gonna give you three guesses. Who do you think Paul
g from Thomasville, Georgia and also Saint Petersburg, Florida, wants
to have us book for a future episode of the
(02:56):
Fifth Hour.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
All Right, I'm gonna say, Michael Jordan, Okay, solid be good,
get right, Billy Martin.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Billy Martin, if we can get him, that would be
amazing that we could bring him back to the other side.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Tommy Lasorda, Lasorda love Tommy.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
And the Big It's a whale when you're really chasing
this guest.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yeah, Kobe Bryant, Oh well, Kobe, let me tell you something.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
We could have a round table with Kobelsorta and Billy Martin.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Holy crap, you have.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Got to be Keddy me hosted by Michael Jordan because
he needs the reps for when he joins NBC.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah, that's right. And then like Larry King, because he's
dead too, so he can come in there.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
We can bring back Howard Cosell speaking of sport. Well, Paul,
I think this.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Is a reasonable request.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
I think I'm gonna have you book this, Danny, because
you know how to book these things. He says, Pope
Leo the fourteenth, he'd like to hear on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
So can you contact the Vatican?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Andy, you got President Trump to come on Fox Sports Radio,
Why can't you get the Pope? Tell will bring White
Sox fans.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Or whatever whatever. See if the Pope will call, the
Pontiff will come on the show.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
That would be the booking trifecta, Trump, the Pope, and
then who's left after that?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
You Jesus?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Yeah, well if you can get Jesus now, that would
definitely be the record.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
So yeah, this guy, I would definitely put that on
my LinkedIn.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
He promote that, he says. Pope Leo the fourteenth. Now,
he says, before you interview he guys all planned out, Danny.
Paul says, before you interview him, announce archangel and arch angel,
two of whom are Michael and Gabriel. I had a
Catholic grade grade school, in high school education.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
That's from pauls just keep up the good work.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Well, I have said, and I do not believe I'm
wrong on this, Danny, that there is roughly a ninety
percent chance that Pope Leo has heard Fox Sports Radio
and has heard the Ben Maller Show, because he was
at the World Series on the White Sox one and
O five and in those years, Fox Sports Radio was
(05:05):
on the score in Chicago at at night.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
We were on there late at night, and so it
is more.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Likely than not that in a big sports radio town
like Chicago, that's a town where it's part of the
culture of sport to listen to sports talk radio, that
Pope Leo, who was just you know, a normal dude
at that time, that he went to the White Sox game.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
They played the then they were just the Astros.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
They hadn't cheated at that point, the Astros White Sox
win the.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
World Series, and what do you do on sports talk
radio at night?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
And that's when Fox Sports Radio, the Ben Malor Show
was on, and you know, weekends.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Then I don't know if you should have just announced
that the Pope is a militia member, because William Shatner
just blocked them.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Shattner's not going to allow that He's like, Nope, nope, nope,
and Shatner, would I become an atheist?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I'm in command, I could order this.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Maybe he is anyway. I don't know anyway, So thank you.
Paul Barry from South Carolina, and Barry met him at
the Great Mallard Meet and greet we did in Charleston
a while back, and he sends a letter in on
the mail bag. He says, I'm in South Carolina for now,
houses up for sale, but the market blows.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I just need to get this soul than I am
out of here, he says, Yo, yo, mob Benny. Is
it just me?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Or have Donut Kelly's calls gotten much worse since she
moved to Iowa. She used to be a good caller. Yeah,
I enjoyed Donut Kelly on the show. The quality of
her work has gone down tremendously. And Danny, you know
this from being a radio seasoned veteran. When you do
(06:49):
call and talk radio and the people call up and say, hey,
what do you want to talk about?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
That's not normally how that goes.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I've had multiple people Donut Kelly's done that to me
a couple of times.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
There was a.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Guy from Colorado that started calling the show that did
that also this week, Barry, It's like, no, like.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
You call up.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
If you have something to say, you say it. Try
to use brevity, be quick, get to the point and
get out.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
And yeah, so yeah, I don't know what's going on
with Kelly, but she's she's found someone in her life,
which is great. That's one of the new power couples.
Shane in the Moines and Kelly into Moyne and they
met because of the show.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
But you're right, Barry, the calls have not been have
not been great. Well, I should do a.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Like a YouTube video series on how to be a
good sports talk radio caller or just what to avoid
to be a crappy.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Caller, especially if you don't have like add because Rich
Davis was playing hooky. He was at Dodgers Stadium to
watch his beloved Mets lose to our Dodgers. Normally he's
the gatekeeper. We take any call on Covino and Rich
and he's uhuh huh, speed it up, speed it up,
speed up. Or if any of us try to tell
even a short story, you could see this look in
(08:06):
his eyes. He wants you to tell no details, get
to the point and shut up so he can talk again.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, yeah, there's there's an etiquette.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
There's there's an etiquette to this. And then but as
you know, Danny, at night, the etiquette.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Usually goes out the window. It just it just it
just made it.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Alf from Deep in the Jungle rights in on the
mail bag. He says, whatever happened to quicksand? When I
was a kid, it seemed that every movie, TV show
or cartoon had some sort of quicksand scene, And nowadays
you don't see it at all. That's great, that's a
great take by Alf. It is true, Daniel, we're around
(08:46):
the same age. It's like every cartoon, movie, sitcom character
got stuck in quicksand, and how were they gonna get
out of it? Were they gonna die? And so at
some point they moved on that. What is replaced quicksand?
Is there something? Because you need the character to be
stuck in in something, right, there's got to be a predicament.
(09:10):
But the quick the quicksand thing. It's a great take
by Alf. Because you don't you don't see it. And
I remember reading some I remember reading some fun facts
about quicksand, because why not?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
And they pointed out that despite.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
All of those movies and all those TV shows, that
you can't actually drown in quicksand right that because you'll
only it'll because of the way the human body is.
I remember reading this. I forget exactly what it is
because I don't have it. You in front of me
and all that stuff, but you won't actually sink all
(09:44):
the way where only your hand like you know on
the TV show, like your eye up, your eyeballs and
all that stuff. It's that's not actually not true at
least what I read on the internet. Maybe when I
read on the internet was wrong, but I remember reading that.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
On the internet.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
And so, yeah, like the Scooby Doo Gang, somebody would
get stuck.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
In quicksand yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
The bad guy and then they pulled the mask off.
Oh it wasn't for you meddling kids, I would have
gotten away with it. Quang writes in from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam,
and he says this every week. I don't know if
he's actually in Vietnam, probably not, but he.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Likes to say that.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
He says Big Ben and Danny's Radio butterflying is a
way to prepare meat, fish or poultry by cooking or
cutting it almost in two, but leaving the two parts connected.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yes, I love my steak.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Butterfly cut me and Rob Parker team butterfly a couple of.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Butterfly butterflied and burned.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Well, that's the way to eat meat, properly wrong.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
You don't want to eat some kind of weird vermin
or not vermin, but like yeah, worms or whatever.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Yeah, you cook the worms out of yours for sure, that's.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Right now, Quang says. Spatchcalking. That's what he says.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Excoo is a specific method of butterflying poultry that involves
removing the backbone.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
So that's you ever heard of that? Never ohing on?
You know what? He's not making this up, It says.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Right here, there's a Martha Stewart on her website learn
how to make.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Spatch cock chicken.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
She's got Martha's got a step by step guide on
how dispatchcock.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
She definitely learned that dish while she was in prison.
She can do it with both hands anyway.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Anyway, he says, a big man, We know how much
you enjoyed the metal cock, but do you like spatch cocking?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
That's a quay, Oh thank you for that. I haven't
got to use the metal cock drop in a long time.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
I was attracted to the giant metal cock on behalf
of Dick and Dayton.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Quay says, well, remember years ago.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
The game cocks and the famous hat go cocks from
South Carolina, which I think I had a listener give
me the gocock's hat. I believe my wife has actually
stolen that hat. I don't know where it is right now,
but yeah, I dispatch cock. You see that at like
high end restaurants, Danny, the big time restaurants love dispatchcock.
(12:17):
They do because it's whether you take the full chicken
you chop it, and it's it's massive. I've seen that
at high end restaurant. I didn't know what that was,
but now I know all because of Quaang.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
So sure, if it's if you can, please don't ever
say that word again.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Well, I will not say I will not say spatch
cocking again. You want to say it, Danny said, say
it right now.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
You want to say it, say it all right?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Ryan writes in from Shrewsbury in the Commonwealth. He says, hey, boys, Ben,
two weeks ago you had an ask Ben's segment on
X but I don't think you ever saw my tweets,
so I'll ask it here since you might be headed
to Boston for the TV show hopefully. My bachelor party
for my wedd is August twenty ninth, which is a
(13:03):
Friday and part of a.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Saturday, the thirtieth.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
If you are in town for the show around, then
I would love to buy you a ticket to the
socks Pirates game at fin Way Pack for my bachelor party.
Ryan says, beers will be on me as well.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
How about that? That's pretty nice.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Also, Danny g I can listen to Cavino and Rich
from five to seven in Beautiful Shrewsbury, Mass show us
the Love Man, So he would like, we don't do
shout outs, but if you want to do a shout
out Danny Shrewsbury, Mass for Ryan c Shrewsbury. He says,
much love for the both of you.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Thank you. I do have a mild update.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
I did hear from the people at end bees See
as they continue to decide whether or not to bring
back season three of Benny Versus the Penny.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
I heard about this. They loved my Hoarder versus the
Quarter idea A.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Great idea we're trying to come up with, like what
what does the hoarder look like? You know, it looks
like Tom Looney anyway, So I'm waiting. There are some
meetings that are going to take place, so fingers crossed,
you know, whatever kind of good mojo you got, because
a number of you have said, boy, we want you
to come back to Boston.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
We want to do another meet and greet, and I
guess out in Wooster the wu Socks. That's one of
the events.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
The Leprechaun and I didn't get a chance to meet
alf the alien ol Pliner last year when we did
a very brief get together outside Boba's Bakery on the
North End.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
So because there was a lot of rain and whatnot.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
So again nothing, nothing's guaranteed. They haven't made any decisions.
There are some meetings at the network over the next
probably ten to fifteen days, and.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
We will know after that whether.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Or not they're going to bring back season number three
of the TV show. And we are optimistic, but we
are realistic because it's a lot of money and they
got to come up with the money.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
And so there you go.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Reggie from Detroit writes and he says, hey, Ben have
Coop and Lorena apologized for not inviting you to that
dinner in Vancouver. I'm still shocked that they did this.
You're the host of the show they work on. Me
and my wife both are upset that they disrespected you
that way. Well, thank you, Reggie. No, they have not,
(15:23):
which I'm also shocked by it. I was very rarely
my blown away by anything. I'm pretty mellow for the
most part. I'll snap, Reggie, you've listened to the show.
Every once in a while, I'll genuinely get upset about
something like this. Is one of those times. I really
could not.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Believe that it happened. I still can't believe it.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
But they you know, hey, listen, they did what they did,
and that's fine. And I was not raised that way.
So whatever it's. You know, I'll do the show. But
I think that that was a tough situation, Reggie.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Who the heck is justin Cooper.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Someone that doesn't invite you to a dinner on a
trip that he got going.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Yeah, I don'tant to get it anyway.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I'll just say that that is a fresh wound. And
I've been in radio thirty years. That's right near the top.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Of the biggest a hole moves I've ever seen in radio.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Frank and vanc met, Yeah without Ben, That's right exactly.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
I hear these stories like, you know, Danny and Covino
and Rich go on the road. You guys all bond,
you know, go to dinners on my show. Let's not
advice the host of the show man, I can't believe that.
I still it just blows me. Anyway, Frank in Vancouver,
who I did meet Frank, very nice man. He says, Hey, Ben,
thanks for coming to Van City and thanks to Nico.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
There you go. He was on yesterday. Frank, you did
not know that when you sent this letter, and he.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Says, he says, Frank says, great meeting you and the
crew all super friendly folks. Puts a new perspective when
listening to the show. It personalizes the listening experience. Sounds weird,
but I think you get the drift. Yes, email continues
from Frank on the mail bag. He says, and I
hope you found the poutine experience satisfactory.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
At a minimum. I did. I loved it.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Every place I went was great, no complaints at all.
Everything was first class, even the Costco thing. As I
talked to Eddie about I'm still amazed that right across
the street, Danny, from the Canucks Arena and the stadium
where the CFL team plays, they have a Costco food.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Court and Nico.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
I mentioned this with Nico yesterday, but the guys would
go there and load up for tailgating with cheap Costco food.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
It's amazing. That is awesome.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
It is really just awesome. Anyway, says I forgot to mention.
We got some places that serve great baba ganooche in
the city. Well, next time I'm in Vancouver, I'll have
to go for the egg plant baba ganoush.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
He says. Keep up the great entertainment, and you and
Danny and I will relay. I relayed.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Frank says, I related to my wife not to be
hard on you for being the last voice I hear
every night, as opposed to hers. I drift into unconsciousness
every night. Thank you that is from Frank. Well, thanks
Frank for following up. Was very kind of you to
do that. Nice to meet you. Glad we got to
hang out and now we're friends, Frank, because if you're
(18:25):
at the Mala meet and greet, we bonded. There was
tons of food. Nico put out all my favorite foods
out there, the chicken sandwiches, the poutine and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
It was awesome. So we're pals and I'd love to
go back to Vancouver.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
It was beautiful, just a majestic city, great skyline, great parks.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
It was really cool.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
And he basically said, you're like a melowtonin Gummy you
put people to sleep.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Well there's that, and also Danny, I've heard this a
lot from like, sometimes dudes will drag their wives, you know,
and some of the women are pretty cool and they
kind of get the show. A lot of them do
not get the show, and they're like, you know, I
don't understand why it's late at night and my husband
has to listen, and then all of a sudden you'll
(19:08):
start screaming about Lebron James.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Well, you know, guilty as charge.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
What do you want to It's a talk show, and
sometimes things.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
I think they think at that time, at those hours,
you should be doing like quiet storm radio.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Yeah, it's just not I'm not wired.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
I like the juicy flavorful uh. Sports takes is what
I what I enjoy. I did also hear from several
fans of the show, several fans of the show who
were like, you know, I started listening to you and
I loved sports, but now I don't like sports as much,
(19:54):
but I still listen.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
You know what I mean, Danny, It's like they don't
really care about my sports takes.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Should I be offended by that or should I be
flattered by that?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
I think you should be flattered because that just means
you're doing great talk radio or you know, not just
sports talk.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
It's just yeah, it's just background.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Conspiracy Carl writes in and we haven't heard from him.
I think he goes back to the gascon era of
the Fifth Hour. Pody, it's been a minute, because curiousy Carl.
He always loves when we have the vegan on because
the vegans all about that action boss. Anyway, Conspiracy Carl,
who lives in Palm Springs, he says, I'm back.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
No, he must have finished watching the TMC YouTube show
about the Fifth Plane.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Yeah, he says he wanted to get our reaction to
the declassified CIA files that claim a government program found
alien life on the dark side of the Moon. Conspiracy
Carl says this happened more than twenty five years ago,
and that there's supposedly a secret complex of towers and
(21:00):
buildings on the Moon's surface where the aliens worked, and
he brought this up because we had mentioned this in
a previous episode. This goes back several weeks the remote
viewing that we talked about on this show, and conspiracy
Carl says, it's all it's all related, it's all right there,
(21:21):
and that these psychic spies found it, and it goes
back to like the nineties, and yeah, I'm all for it. Listen,
you know, Carl, Conspiracy Carl. I believe that there are
other species that live at the bottom of the ocean,
the bottom of the sea. Not mermaids or merman uh,
but actual different species that we don't even know about.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Well some of us know about it, So I buy it.
Anything's possible.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Yeah, I believe the kid, that kid in Vegas that
saw the nine ten foot aliens with big eyes.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Big guys that're looking at us. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Well, when I go to Vegas, Danny, and you too,
if you try, I know, you fly, I guess. But
when I drive, I stop in Baker at alien beef Jerky,
and I see them right there. They have their own
little hotel which is disguised as a hotel, but it's
actually a space shit.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
It's not a space ship, but it's a station. First station.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
You wouldn't say the space shit in that area because
isn't there also a hotel right there that's boarded up?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Well, no, there was, but they built behind alien beef Jerky.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Oh okay, all right, so they bulldozed that condemned old
hotel that used to be there.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Then, Yeah, well I don't know if they did or not.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Bun Boy still there? Is that what it's called pun Boy?
Remember thes that closed years ago? I think that was
called bunboyn't.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Yeah, I'm not sure, but it's like, it looks very
like fifties and nineteen sixties where it must have been
booming right there, and then it got old and then
they never updated it and then it just got condemned.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
And if you're not in California and you have no
idea what we're talking about, it's one of the stops
on the way to Vegas.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Between LA and Vegas, you go through.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Ville, Apple Valley, Barstow, Baker prim and then finally you
get into Nevada, and yeah, Prims, Nevada, and then you
get to Vegas, which is about an hour outside of
the state line.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
And all these little towns on the.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Way to Vegas, and what about they have a date
I've never had a date shake. Have you ever had
a date shake? Never, there's a date shake place on
the way to Vegas.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
I've never doesn't sound no, it does not sound good.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
It sounds like you'd need another stop a half hour
later for the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah, the truck stops must do very well out there.
Mary Anne writes in from Murphysboro, Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
She says, hey, band and Danny g I enjoy your
podcast as well as your nightly show.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Ben.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Although I am fairly certain you don't follow college softball,
I think these young women deserve a shoutout.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
You often talk.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
About the major league players, their need for time off
between games, complaints about travel, and the diva like behavior.
Pussy Willows. I love that, Mary Anne put he She
wrote here, Pussy Willows.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Remember one that was a Clay Travis That was Yes,
that was most definitely a Clay travisism he used, He
used pussy Willow and Dick Cheney.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah, Well, wasn't the the pussy Willow. Thing is I
remember what.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
You're crying, you pussy Willow.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Well, didn't he originally just say pussy?
Speaker 4 (24:26):
And then yeah he did, he got he got uh,
he got it speaking to on that and then also
he said dick and uh I told him, Clay, you
can't just say dick like that. So he's like, oh,
fun I'll say Dick Cheney then and that's how that start.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Yeah, I remember the memo got sent out, like you
can't say pussy, but for some reason the flower pussy Willow,
you're allowed say.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I'm sure that'll solve it.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Anyway, Marianne writes contigures right, and she says these softball
players are just the opposite of those overpaid diva players.
They are enthusiastic, love playing the game, all while attending college.
The pitchers are incredible, often throwing over one hundred pitches
and pitch again the very next day, just like the
big leaguers.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Right.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Anyway, their season is over now, but felt these young
women deserve a shout out and for you to put
them on the radar. Well, Marianne, as you know, we
don't do shout outs. You'd have to contact cameo. On
the cameo, I might do a shout out anyway, she says,
I'm eighty three years old. I'm a mother, grandmother, and
great grandmother. God bless you. Who is a fan of
(25:37):
sports all together? At that point, you've checked like every
box right when your mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and then
after that's great great grandmother.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Like that's the next one down the line.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
She says, I was never very athletic, hence I am
a fan of your show and your rants.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Is that a shot shot to me?
Speaker 4 (25:59):
That feels like he has seen the footage of your
first pitch you threw out in Bakersfield.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Marianne, that is a backhanded shot. How dare you?
Speaker 3 (26:08):
It's one thing when I'm taking shots from mister nice
guy or some of these other jabbronis that call the show?
But Mary, sweet little grandma from Murphysboro, Tennessee.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Nobody throws a lollipop like mister Maller. He could be
the third Necro brother, remember that, Jeez.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Racist, I used to like your show, and then I
can't believe you would say that on the air. Oh
my god, I'm so offended, you said Crow on the air.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Oh my God, that was Eden Spokane.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
I think that got me to say that that schmuck. Anyway,
that line what a famous line by Marianne. She says,
I was never very athletic, hence I'm a fan of
your show.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
All right, what's next?
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Stevens oh Cayl writes in says, hey, Ben and Danny
enjoyed the pod quick yay or Nate?
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Question?
Speaker 3 (27:07):
And then Steve says A restaurant and Florida sued a
diner recently who left abusive and disrespectful reviews on yelp.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yay or nay?
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
I don't know much about it. I don't if you
saw this, Danny. I'm just reading the headline here. I
don't know much about it. If there's more to it,
but based on just the headline, I'm gonna go, Nay,
what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (27:32):
You know?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
You know you're bringing more attention to it unless there's
more to the story than I know, which is probably
absolutely the case, like you're bringing more oxygen?
Speaker 1 (27:43):
What exactly happened? All right?
Speaker 3 (27:45):
So Dateline Florida or Tampa, Florida restaurant sues diner who
left a negative review on Yelp. They apparently didn't like
it when she called their meat quality subpar and air
ribs dry.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Really the restaurant, I don't think the name of it.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
They specialize in innovative, inspired, seasonal new Asian food. They
follow a lawsuit against the woman after she left a
one star review following her visit.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
This goes back to December of.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Twenty twenty three, and the woman went in there with
some friends. They had tiger shrimp, lamb chops, spare ribs, eggplant,
and mushroom chocolate cake during the visit.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
And this is like the one star reviews you and
Gascon used to get when you had politicians on the show.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Except pretty much every week, it says, who is a blogger?
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I guess this woman? Okay, so now, so this woman
is like a food blogger. Oh okay, now it makes sense.
He's got a little she's got a following. She's got a.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Following on Yelp and Google and trip Advisor and all
that stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
She wrote a seven hundred and ninety five word review.
She's got a little too much free. I'm on her hands.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Oh my god, seven hundred and ninety five words for
a for a Asian restaurant. In Tampa, a New Asian innovative.
Oh my god, all right, now, I kind of now
that I've read the details, Danny, I.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Support the restaurant. See the details matter. Uh see, there
you go. All right, thank you, Steve. I appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Unless they wronged her in some way or stole some
money from her or something like that. Come on, chick,
get a life.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Yeah that's a little much, you know, couple lines.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
No one's reading all that anyway, right, who's reading a
seven hundred and ninety five.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Word I mean, you would hope not. I remember my
cousin up in the Bay Area. He dated a girl
and she would write these really really long reviews no
matter where they ate at.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
And I told him, I'm like, how can you live
with her?
Speaker 4 (29:50):
I'm pretty sure she writes you a weekly review on
how you've treated her.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah, that's imagine her diary with that. Lord, Oh my god,
what a nightmare. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
Well, he's like, you're right, I got a one star
last week.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
It's like that that meme and I'm not reading all that,
you know, sorry it happened, or yeah, like try.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
To get to even if you're gonna be a reviewer
or a wanna be food reviewer, all right, but tell
us in two paragraphs, how about that?
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Yeah, it's food was good, you should eat this, or
food was bad?
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Yeah, pros and cons. That's it.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
One paragraph for pros, one paragraph for cons.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Yeah, and and just a couple of lines and then
that's accepted and we're good and we move on. And
that's how that works, all right. A couple more quick ones.
Kevin in Boston or the Boston area, He says, Since
I saw the video this week from southern California, I
thought of YouTube, gents, and he's talking about that mountain
(30:53):
lion video from I think that's near Santa Barbara.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Have you seen that, Danny the viral? Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Yeah, yeah, he says, have you guys ever run into
a mountain lion? No, I would probably be eaten. That
mountain lion was pern like you know what, dude, That
mountain lion was ready to enjoy a nice meal.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
Where we live in the hills on the border of
La and Ventura County, we saw a baby mountain lion
on our trail back behind where we live, and I
told Brenda, you better start walking fast because there's a
mama somewhere near this baby.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Yeah, you're not gonna be able to outrun a mountain lion.
Those things are you talk about being ripped stacked? Holy crap, man,
it's crazy to think about all the stuff that's in
the hills around where we live, all the critters and.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
Yeah, and now with that wildlife crossing where I live,
there's going to be at least three more.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Well, the good news is you don't have to worry
about being damaged by the animals because they'll just cross
the street right then, they'll just or the bridge there
over the freeway, and so they won't bother human beings
because they totally know that's for them.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
The bridge is for them.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
And it'd be nice they have the little lake on there,
don't they have, like the lake and all that on top.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Of the bridge.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Oh, there's a porta potty for them. Party out standing,
all right, we'll get out on that.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I will be back tonight in the Magic Radio box, yapping.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Away about the NBA Finals and the Stanley Cup Finals
and our favorite June stories about Aaron Rodgers and all
the other nonsense, and then Danny and normal week for you, Yes,

Speaker 2 (00:02):
If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes
a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse. Wow to the clearing
House of hot takes, break free for something special. The

As we are hanging out, we want to thank you guys.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
The downloads have been great supporting the show. Was a
wacky weekend last weekend, but we're back to the normal
Shenanigans this weekend. It was great to catch up with
the Godfather Eddie Garcia on the Friday pod and then
on Saturday our buddy Nico who made that Van coover
meet and Greek possible. So that was awesome to talk
to him. But now Danny old school deep into the
(01:05):
mail bag.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Yeah, you know, it was cool hearing Eddie too, because
last weekend some of the drops and famous clips of
the show that I put in our best of featured
Eddie and Me and you and Coop when we were
all together on the Overnight show, and I got some
listener feedback saying, man, that was great hearing the classic
crew together, and so that was perfect timing to have
(01:26):
Eddie on this weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
So it was great to talk to Eddie about the hockey,
which apparently no one's watching, but we talked about it anyway,
why not and what the hell?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
All right? So we have now.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
The big open Oh yeah, full letters, ohio al.
Speaker 4 (01:41):

Speaker 3 (02:01):
So thank you, ohio out Real fifth Hour at gmail
dot com.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
We've been very You guys have been good.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Not us.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
We haven't done anything different, but the.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Podcast has done well and so there's more people listening,
there's more people that write, and so it's pretty cool.
But you can if you want to join the fun
and send a question in Real Fifth Hour at gmail
dot com. All letters, not numbers, and the first one
up is from PAULG. From Thomasville, Georgia. He says a
long time Saint Petersburg, Florida. He says, all right, so
(02:35):
I guess he's been in Thomasville, Georgia and Saint Petersburg, Florida.
He says, I enjoy all the shows. I have a
suggestion for the Fifth Hour guest. All right, Danny, I'm
gonna give you three guesses. Who do you think Paul
g from Thomasville, Georgia and also Saint Petersburg, Florida, wants
to have us book for a future episode of the
(02:56):
Fifth Hour.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
All Right, I'm gonna say, Michael Jordan, Okay, solid be good,
get right, Billy Martin.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Billy Martin, if we can get him, that would be
amazing that we could bring him back to the other side.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Tommy Lasorda, Lasorda love Tommy.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
And the Big It's a whale when you're really chasing
this guest.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yeah, Kobe Bryant, Oh well, Kobe, let me tell you something.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
We could have a round table with Kobelsorta and Billy Martin.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Holy crap, you have.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Got to be Keddy me hosted by Michael Jordan because
he needs the reps for when he joins NBC.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah, that's right. And then like Larry King, because he's
dead too, so he can come in there.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
We can bring back Howard Cosell speaking of sport. Well, Paul,
I think this.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Is a reasonable request.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
I think I'm gonna have you book this, Danny, because
you know how to book these things. He says, Pope
Leo the fourteenth, he'd like to hear on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
So can you contact the Vatican?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Andy, you got President Trump to come on Fox Sports Radio,
Why can't you get the Pope? Tell will bring White
Sox fans.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Or whatever whatever. See if the Pope will call, the
Pontiff will come on the show.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
That would be the booking trifecta, Trump, the Pope, and
then who's left after that?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
You Jesus?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Yeah, well if you can get Jesus now, that would
definitely be the record.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
So yeah, this guy, I would definitely put that on
my LinkedIn.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
He promote that, he says. Pope Leo the fourteenth. Now,
he says, before you interview he guys all planned out, Danny.
Paul says, before you interview him, announce archangel and arch angel,
two of whom are Michael and Gabriel. I had a
Catholic grade grade school, in high school education.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
That's from pauls just keep up the good work.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Well, I have said, and I do not believe I'm
wrong on this, Danny, that there is roughly a ninety
percent chance that Pope Leo has heard Fox Sports Radio
and has heard the Ben Maller Show, because he was
at the World Series on the White Sox one and
O five and in those years, Fox Sports Radio was
(05:05):
on the score in Chicago at at night.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
We were on there late at night, and so it
is more.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Likely than not that in a big sports radio town
like Chicago, that's a town where it's part of the
culture of sport to listen to sports talk radio, that
Pope Leo, who was just you know, a normal dude
at that time, that he went to the White Sox game.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
They played the then they were just the Astros.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
They hadn't cheated at that point, the Astros White Sox
win the.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
World Series, and what do you do on sports talk
radio at night?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
And that's when Fox Sports Radio, the Ben Malor Show
was on, and you know, weekends.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Then I don't know if you should have just announced
that the Pope is a militia member, because William Shatner
just blocked them.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Shattner's not going to allow that He's like, Nope, nope, nope,
and Shatner, would I become an atheist?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I'm in command, I could order this.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Maybe he is anyway. I don't know anyway, So thank you.
Paul Barry from South Carolina, and Barry met him at
the Great Mallard Meet and greet we did in Charleston
a while back, and he sends a letter in on
the mail bag. He says, I'm in South Carolina for now,
houses up for sale, but the market blows.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I just need to get this soul than I am
out of here, he says, Yo, yo, mob Benny. Is
it just me?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Or have Donut Kelly's calls gotten much worse since she
moved to Iowa. She used to be a good caller. Yeah,
I enjoyed Donut Kelly on the show. The quality of
her work has gone down tremendously. And Danny, you know
this from being a radio seasoned veteran. When you do
(06:49):
call and talk radio and the people call up and say, hey,
what do you want to talk about?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
That's not normally how that goes.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I've had multiple people Donut Kelly's done that to me
a couple of times.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
There was a.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Guy from Colorado that started calling the show that did
that also this week, Barry, It's like, no, like.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
You call up.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
If you have something to say, you say it. Try
to use brevity, be quick, get to the point and
get out.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
And yeah, so yeah, I don't know what's going on
with Kelly, but she's she's found someone in her life,
which is great. That's one of the new power couples.
Shane in the Moines and Kelly into Moyne and they
met because of the show.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
But you're right, Barry, the calls have not been have
not been great. Well, I should do a.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Like a YouTube video series on how to be a
good sports talk radio caller or just what to avoid
to be a crappy.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Caller, especially if you don't have like add because Rich
Davis was playing hooky. He was at Dodgers Stadium to
watch his beloved Mets lose to our Dodgers. Normally he's
the gatekeeper. We take any call on Covino and Rich
and he's uhuh huh, speed it up, speed it up,
speed up. Or if any of us try to tell
even a short story, you could see this look in
(08:06):
his eyes. He wants you to tell no details, get
to the point and shut up so he can talk again.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, yeah, there's there's an etiquette.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
There's there's an etiquette to this. And then but as
you know, Danny, at night, the etiquette.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Usually goes out the window. It just it just it
just made it.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Alf from Deep in the Jungle rights in on the
mail bag. He says, whatever happened to quicksand? When I
was a kid, it seemed that every movie, TV show
or cartoon had some sort of quicksand scene, And nowadays
you don't see it at all. That's great, that's a
great take by Alf. It is true, Daniel, we're around
(08:46):
the same age. It's like every cartoon, movie, sitcom character
got stuck in quicksand, and how were they gonna get
out of it? Were they gonna die? And so at
some point they moved on that. What is replaced quicksand?
Is there something? Because you need the character to be
stuck in in something, right, there's got to be a predicament.
(09:10):
But the quick the quicksand thing. It's a great take
by Alf. Because you don't you don't see it. And
I remember reading some I remember reading some fun facts
about quicksand, because why not?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
And they pointed out that despite.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
All of those movies and all those TV shows, that
you can't actually drown in quicksand right that because you'll
only it'll because of the way the human body is.
I remember reading this. I forget exactly what it is
because I don't have it. You in front of me
and all that stuff, but you won't actually sink all
(09:44):
the way where only your hand like you know on
the TV show, like your eye up, your eyeballs and
all that stuff. It's that's not actually not true at
least what I read on the internet. Maybe when I
read on the internet was wrong, but I remember reading that.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
On the internet.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
And so, yeah, like the Scooby Doo Gang, somebody would
get stuck.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
In quicksand yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
The bad guy and then they pulled the mask off.
Oh it wasn't for you meddling kids, I would have
gotten away with it. Quang writes in from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam,
and he says this every week. I don't know if
he's actually in Vietnam, probably not, but he.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Likes to say that.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
He says Big Ben and Danny's Radio butterflying is a
way to prepare meat, fish or poultry by cooking or
cutting it almost in two, but leaving the two parts connected.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yes, I love my steak.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Butterfly cut me and Rob Parker team butterfly a couple of.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Butterfly butterflied and burned.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Well, that's the way to eat meat, properly wrong.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
You don't want to eat some kind of weird vermin
or not vermin, but like yeah, worms or whatever.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Yeah, you cook the worms out of yours for sure, that's.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Right now, Quang says. Spatchcalking. That's what he says.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Excoo is a specific method of butterflying poultry that involves
removing the backbone.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
So that's you ever heard of that? Never ohing on?
You know what? He's not making this up, It says.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Right here, there's a Martha Stewart on her website learn
how to make.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Spatch cock chicken.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
She's got Martha's got a step by step guide on
how dispatchcock.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
She definitely learned that dish while she was in prison.
She can do it with both hands anyway.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Anyway, he says, a big man, We know how much
you enjoyed the metal cock, but do you like spatch cocking?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
That's a quay, Oh thank you for that. I haven't
got to use the metal cock drop in a long time.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
I was attracted to the giant metal cock on behalf
of Dick and Dayton.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Quay says, well, remember years ago.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
The game cocks and the famous hat go cocks from
South Carolina, which I think I had a listener give
me the gocock's hat. I believe my wife has actually
stolen that hat. I don't know where it is right now,
but yeah, I dispatch cock. You see that at like
high end restaurants, Danny, the big time restaurants love dispatchcock.
(12:17):
They do because it's whether you take the full chicken
you chop it, and it's it's massive. I've seen that
at high end restaurant. I didn't know what that was,
but now I know all because of Quaang.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
So sure, if it's if you can, please don't ever
say that word again.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Well, I will not say I will not say spatch
cocking again. You want to say it, Danny said, say
it right now.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
You want to say it, say it all right?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Ryan writes in from Shrewsbury in the Commonwealth. He says, hey, boys, Ben,
two weeks ago you had an ask Ben's segment on
X but I don't think you ever saw my tweets,
so I'll ask it here since you might be headed
to Boston for the TV show hopefully. My bachelor party
for my wedd is August twenty ninth, which is a
(13:03):
Friday and part of a.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Saturday, the thirtieth.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
If you are in town for the show around, then
I would love to buy you a ticket to the
socks Pirates game at fin Way Pack for my bachelor party.
Ryan says, beers will be on me as well.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
How about that? That's pretty nice.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Also, Danny g I can listen to Cavino and Rich
from five to seven in Beautiful Shrewsbury, Mass show us
the Love Man, So he would like, we don't do
shout outs, but if you want to do a shout
out Danny Shrewsbury, Mass for Ryan c Shrewsbury. He says,
much love for the both of you.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Thank you. I do have a mild update.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
I did hear from the people at end bees See
as they continue to decide whether or not to bring
back season three of Benny Versus the Penny.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
I heard about this. They loved my Hoarder versus the
Quarter idea A.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Great idea we're trying to come up with, like what
what does the hoarder look like? You know, it looks
like Tom Looney anyway, So I'm waiting. There are some
meetings that are going to take place, so fingers crossed,
you know, whatever kind of good mojo you got, because
a number of you have said, boy, we want you
to come back to Boston.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
We want to do another meet and greet, and I
guess out in Wooster the wu Socks. That's one of
the events.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
The Leprechaun and I didn't get a chance to meet
alf the alien ol Pliner last year when we did
a very brief get together outside Boba's Bakery on the
North End.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
So because there was a lot of rain and whatnot.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
So again nothing, nothing's guaranteed. They haven't made any decisions.
There are some meetings at the network over the next
probably ten to fifteen days, and.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
We will know after that whether.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Or not they're going to bring back season number three
of the TV show. And we are optimistic, but we
are realistic because it's a lot of money and they
got to come up with the money.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
And so there you go.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Reggie from Detroit writes and he says, hey, Ben have
Coop and Lorena apologized for not inviting you to that
dinner in Vancouver. I'm still shocked that they did this.
You're the host of the show they work on. Me
and my wife both are upset that they disrespected you
that way. Well, thank you, Reggie. No, they have not,
(15:23):
which I'm also shocked by it. I was very rarely
my blown away by anything. I'm pretty mellow for the
most part. I'll snap, Reggie, you've listened to the show.
Every once in a while, I'll genuinely get upset about
something like this. Is one of those times. I really
could not.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Believe that it happened. I still can't believe it.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
But they you know, hey, listen, they did what they did,
and that's fine. And I was not raised that way.
So whatever it's. You know, I'll do the show. But
I think that that was a tough situation, Reggie.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Who the heck is justin Cooper.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Someone that doesn't invite you to a dinner on a
trip that he got going.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Yeah, I don'tant to get it anyway.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I'll just say that that is a fresh wound. And
I've been in radio thirty years. That's right near the top.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Of the biggest a hole moves I've ever seen in radio.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Frank and vanc met, Yeah without Ben, That's right exactly.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
I hear these stories like, you know, Danny and Covino
and Rich go on the road. You guys all bond,
you know, go to dinners on my show. Let's not
advice the host of the show man, I can't believe that.
I still it just blows me. Anyway, Frank in Vancouver,
who I did meet Frank, very nice man. He says, Hey, Ben,
thanks for coming to Van City and thanks to Nico.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
There you go. He was on yesterday. Frank, you did
not know that when you sent this letter, and he.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Says, he says, Frank says, great meeting you and the
crew all super friendly folks. Puts a new perspective when
listening to the show. It personalizes the listening experience. Sounds weird,
but I think you get the drift. Yes, email continues
from Frank on the mail bag. He says, and I
hope you found the poutine experience satisfactory.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
At a minimum. I did. I loved it.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Every place I went was great, no complaints at all.
Everything was first class, even the Costco thing. As I
talked to Eddie about I'm still amazed that right across
the street, Danny, from the Canucks Arena and the stadium
where the CFL team plays, they have a Costco food.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Court and Nico.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
I mentioned this with Nico yesterday, but the guys would
go there and load up for tailgating with cheap Costco food.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
It's amazing. That is awesome.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
It is really just awesome. Anyway, says I forgot to mention.
We got some places that serve great baba ganooche in
the city. Well, next time I'm in Vancouver, I'll have
to go for the egg plant baba ganoush.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
He says. Keep up the great entertainment, and you and
Danny and I will relay. I relayed.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Frank says, I related to my wife not to be
hard on you for being the last voice I hear
every night, as opposed to hers. I drift into unconsciousness
every night. Thank you that is from Frank. Well, thanks
Frank for following up. Was very kind of you to
do that. Nice to meet you. Glad we got to
hang out and now we're friends, Frank, because if you're
(18:25):
at the Mala meet and greet, we bonded. There was
tons of food. Nico put out all my favorite foods
out there, the chicken sandwiches, the poutine and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
It was awesome. So we're pals and I'd love to
go back to Vancouver.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
It was beautiful, just a majestic city, great skyline, great parks.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
It was really cool.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
And he basically said, you're like a melowtonin Gummy you
put people to sleep.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Well there's that, and also Danny, I've heard this a
lot from like, sometimes dudes will drag their wives, you know,
and some of the women are pretty cool and they
kind of get the show. A lot of them do
not get the show, and they're like, you know, I
don't understand why it's late at night and my husband
has to listen, and then all of a sudden you'll
(19:08):
start screaming about Lebron James.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Well, you know, guilty as charge.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
What do you want to It's a talk show, and
sometimes things.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
I think they think at that time, at those hours,
you should be doing like quiet storm radio.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Yeah, it's just not I'm not wired.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
I like the juicy flavorful uh. Sports takes is what
I what I enjoy. I did also hear from several
fans of the show, several fans of the show who
were like, you know, I started listening to you and
I loved sports, but now I don't like sports as much,
(19:54):
but I still listen.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
You know what I mean, Danny, It's like they don't
really care about my sports takes.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Should I be offended by that or should I be
flattered by that?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
I think you should be flattered because that just means
you're doing great talk radio or you know, not just
sports talk.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
It's just yeah, it's just background.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Conspiracy Carl writes in and we haven't heard from him.
I think he goes back to the gascon era of
the Fifth Hour. Pody, it's been a minute, because curiousy Carl.
He always loves when we have the vegan on because
the vegans all about that action boss. Anyway, Conspiracy Carl,
who lives in Palm Springs, he says, I'm back.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
No, he must have finished watching the TMC YouTube show
about the Fifth Plane.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Yeah, he says he wanted to get our reaction to
the declassified CIA files that claim a government program found
alien life on the dark side of the Moon. Conspiracy
Carl says this happened more than twenty five years ago,
and that there's supposedly a secret complex of towers and
(21:00):
buildings on the Moon's surface where the aliens worked, and
he brought this up because we had mentioned this in
a previous episode. This goes back several weeks the remote
viewing that we talked about on this show, and conspiracy
Carl says, it's all it's all related, it's all right there,
(21:21):
and that these psychic spies found it, and it goes
back to like the nineties, and yeah, I'm all for it. Listen,
you know, Carl, Conspiracy Carl. I believe that there are
other species that live at the bottom of the ocean,
the bottom of the sea. Not mermaids or merman uh,
but actual different species that we don't even know about.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Well some of us know about it, So I buy it.
Anything's possible.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Yeah, I believe the kid, that kid in Vegas that
saw the nine ten foot aliens with big eyes.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Big guys that're looking at us. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Well, when I go to Vegas, Danny, and you too,
if you try, I know, you fly, I guess. But
when I drive, I stop in Baker at alien beef Jerky,
and I see them right there. They have their own
little hotel which is disguised as a hotel, but it's
actually a space shit.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
It's not a space ship, but it's a station. First station.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
You wouldn't say the space shit in that area because
isn't there also a hotel right there that's boarded up?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Well, no, there was, but they built behind alien beef Jerky.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Oh okay, all right, so they bulldozed that condemned old
hotel that used to be there.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Then, Yeah, well I don't know if they did or not.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Bun Boy still there? Is that what it's called pun Boy?
Remember thes that closed years ago? I think that was
called bunboyn't.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Yeah, I'm not sure, but it's like, it looks very
like fifties and nineteen sixties where it must have been
booming right there, and then it got old and then
they never updated it and then it just got condemned.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
And if you're not in California and you have no
idea what we're talking about, it's one of the stops
on the way to Vegas.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Between LA and Vegas, you go through.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Ville, Apple Valley, Barstow, Baker prim and then finally you
get into Nevada, and yeah, Prims, Nevada, and then you
get to Vegas, which is about an hour outside of
the state line.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
And all these little towns on the.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Way to Vegas, and what about they have a date
I've never had a date shake. Have you ever had
a date shake? Never, there's a date shake place on
the way to Vegas.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
I've never doesn't sound no, it does not sound good.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
It sounds like you'd need another stop a half hour
later for the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah, the truck stops must do very well out there.
Mary Anne writes in from Murphysboro, Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
She says, hey, band and Danny g I enjoy your
podcast as well as your nightly show.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Ben.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Although I am fairly certain you don't follow college softball,
I think these young women deserve a shoutout.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
You often talk.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
About the major league players, their need for time off
between games, complaints about travel, and the diva like behavior.
Pussy Willows. I love that, Mary Anne put he She
wrote here, Pussy Willows.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Remember one that was a Clay Travis That was Yes,
that was most definitely a Clay travisism he used, He
used pussy Willow and Dick Cheney.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah, Well, wasn't the the pussy Willow. Thing is I
remember what.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
You're crying, you pussy Willow.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Well, didn't he originally just say pussy?
Speaker 4 (24:26):
And then yeah he did, he got he got uh,
he got it speaking to on that and then also
he said dick and uh I told him, Clay, you
can't just say dick like that. So he's like, oh,
fun I'll say Dick Cheney then and that's how that start.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Yeah, I remember the memo got sent out, like you
can't say pussy, but for some reason the flower pussy Willow,
you're allowed say.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I'm sure that'll solve it.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Anyway, Marianne writes contigures right, and she says these softball
players are just the opposite of those overpaid diva players.
They are enthusiastic, love playing the game, all while attending college.
The pitchers are incredible, often throwing over one hundred pitches
and pitch again the very next day, just like the
big leaguers.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Right.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Anyway, their season is over now, but felt these young
women deserve a shout out and for you to put
them on the radar. Well, Marianne, as you know, we
don't do shout outs. You'd have to contact cameo. On
the cameo, I might do a shout out anyway, she says,
I'm eighty three years old. I'm a mother, grandmother, and
great grandmother. God bless you. Who is a fan of
(25:37):
sports all together? At that point, you've checked like every
box right when your mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and then
after that's great great grandmother.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Like that's the next one down the line.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
She says, I was never very athletic, hence I am
a fan of your show and your rants.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Is that a shot shot to me?
Speaker 4 (25:59):
That feels like he has seen the footage of your
first pitch you threw out in Bakersfield.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Marianne, that is a backhanded shot. How dare you?
Speaker 3 (26:08):
It's one thing when I'm taking shots from mister nice
guy or some of these other jabbronis that call the show?
But Mary, sweet little grandma from Murphysboro, Tennessee.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Nobody throws a lollipop like mister Maller. He could be
the third Necro brother, remember that, Jeez.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Racist, I used to like your show, and then I
can't believe you would say that on the air. Oh
my god, I'm so offended, you said Crow on the air.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Oh my God, that was Eden Spokane.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
I think that got me to say that that schmuck. Anyway,
that line what a famous line by Marianne. She says,
I was never very athletic, hence I'm a fan of
your show.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
All right, what's next?
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Stevens oh Cayl writes in says, hey, Ben and Danny
enjoyed the pod quick yay or Nate?
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Question?
Speaker 3 (27:07):
And then Steve says A restaurant and Florida sued a
diner recently who left abusive and disrespectful reviews on yelp.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yay or nay?
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
I don't know much about it. I don't if you
saw this, Danny. I'm just reading the headline here. I
don't know much about it. If there's more to it,
but based on just the headline, I'm gonna go, Nay,
what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (27:32):
You know?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
You know you're bringing more attention to it unless there's
more to the story than I know, which is probably
absolutely the case, like you're bringing more oxygen?
Speaker 1 (27:43):
What exactly happened? All right?
Speaker 3 (27:45):
So Dateline Florida or Tampa, Florida restaurant sues diner who
left a negative review on Yelp. They apparently didn't like
it when she called their meat quality subpar and air
ribs dry.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Really the restaurant, I don't think the name of it.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
They specialize in innovative, inspired, seasonal new Asian food. They
follow a lawsuit against the woman after she left a
one star review following her visit.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
This goes back to December of.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Twenty twenty three, and the woman went in there with
some friends. They had tiger shrimp, lamb chops, spare ribs, eggplant,
and mushroom chocolate cake during the visit.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
And this is like the one star reviews you and
Gascon used to get when you had politicians on the show.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Except pretty much every week, it says, who is a blogger?
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I guess this woman? Okay, so now, so this woman
is like a food blogger. Oh okay, now it makes sense.
He's got a little she's got a following. She's got a.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Following on Yelp and Google and trip Advisor and all
that stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
She wrote a seven hundred and ninety five word review.
She's got a little too much free. I'm on her hands.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Oh my god, seven hundred and ninety five words for
a for a Asian restaurant. In Tampa, a New Asian innovative.
Oh my god, all right, now, I kind of now
that I've read the details, Danny, I.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Support the restaurant. See the details matter. Uh see, there
you go. All right, thank you, Steve. I appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Unless they wronged her in some way or stole some
money from her or something like that. Come on, chick,
get a life.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Yeah that's a little much, you know, couple lines.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
No one's reading all that anyway, right, who's reading a
seven hundred and ninety five.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Word I mean, you would hope not. I remember my
cousin up in the Bay Area. He dated a girl
and she would write these really really long reviews no
matter where they ate at.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
And I told him, I'm like, how can you live
with her?
Speaker 4 (29:50):
I'm pretty sure she writes you a weekly review on
how you've treated her.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah, that's imagine her diary with that. Lord, Oh my god,
what a nightmare. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
Well, he's like, you're right, I got a one star
last week.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
It's like that that meme and I'm not reading all that,
you know, sorry it happened, or yeah, like try.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
To get to even if you're gonna be a reviewer
or a wanna be food reviewer, all right, but tell
us in two paragraphs, how about that?
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Yeah, it's food was good, you should eat this, or
food was bad?
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Yeah, pros and cons. That's it.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
One paragraph for pros, one paragraph for cons.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Yeah, and and just a couple of lines and then
that's accepted and we're good and we move on. And
that's how that works, all right. A couple more quick ones.
Kevin in Boston or the Boston area, He says, Since
I saw the video this week from southern California, I
thought of YouTube, gents, and he's talking about that mountain
(30:53):
lion video from I think that's near Santa Barbara.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Have you seen that, Danny the viral? Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Yeah, yeah, he says, have you guys ever run into
a mountain lion? No, I would probably be eaten. That
mountain lion was pern like you know what, dude, That
mountain lion was ready to enjoy a nice meal.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
Where we live in the hills on the border of
La and Ventura County, we saw a baby mountain lion
on our trail back behind where we live, and I
told Brenda, you better start walking fast because there's a
mama somewhere near this baby.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Yeah, you're not gonna be able to outrun a mountain lion.
Those things are you talk about being ripped stacked? Holy crap, man,
it's crazy to think about all the stuff that's in
the hills around where we live, all the critters and.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
Yeah, and now with that wildlife crossing where I live,
there's going to be at least three more.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Well, the good news is you don't have to worry
about being damaged by the animals because they'll just cross
the street right then, they'll just or the bridge there
over the freeway, and so they won't bother human beings
because they totally know that's for them.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
The bridge is for them.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
And it'd be nice they have the little lake on there,
don't they have, like the lake and all that on top.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Of the bridge.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Oh, there's a porta potty for them. Party out standing,
all right, we'll get out on that.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I will be back tonight in the Magic Radio box, yapping.
