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 clearinghouse of
hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
(00:23):
with Ben Mahller starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
In the air everywhere The Fifth Hour with Me, Ben
Mahler and Danny g Radio. A Happy Friday to you.
It is bright and early as we are recording this
live on tape, Live on tape, this edition of The
Fifth Hour with Me Ben Mahler, and I want to
point out we did have some glitches on the overnight
(00:51):
show heading into this Friday morning the Gremlins attack. Bad
job by then, but we survived the Gremlin attack and
we have prosper in the podcast wing of the remote studio.
Danny will join us over the course of the weekend.
So the Gremlins knocked us out for about fifteen minutes,
(01:12):
which is not that bad. I thought it would be
worse than that. It was only about fifteen minutes, and
then we came back today, twenty fifth day of April.
It is National license Plate Day. Yeah, it's also Arbor Day.
And I mean there's a bunch of like the National
Arbor Day, it's a Hug a Plumber Day, National Telephone Day.
(01:33):
The one that caught my attention is National license Plate Day. Yeah,
it's a wonderful day. The first every here's a fun
fact for alf the ALIENA Pinter the first ever issued
license plate in the US nineteen o one. Prior to that,
there was no official marking on any vehicle. Of course,
(01:57):
there weren't a lot of cars out there. And with
the passage of a law, the New York New York
State became the first state to issue a license plate
on vehicles, and then it came all the way across
the country to the West Coast and all that. Today.
You know how many registered vehicles there are in the
(02:19):
United States? You want to take a guess, reveal answers
or reveal answers. There's more than two hundred and fifty
million registered vehicles in the United States. That seems about right.
That seems about right. You know, some people have more
than one and the whole thing at the time though
they say, we're moving to the timeline. It's nineteen oh one.
(02:41):
The governor of New York passed a law mandating that
vehicles have license plates. In nineteen oh two, there were
one thousand, five hundred and sixty six automobile owners registered
with the state the vehicles the first year that the
law pass so there was fifteen hundred and sixty six
(03:03):
vehicles the first year. And then Massachusetts became the first
state to distribute state issue license plates, so that was
nineteen oh three, and over the years has been just NonStop,
as you know. So there you go National License Plate
Day on this pod. Right now here we go. What
(03:25):
do we have today? We have the Malard mother Load,
the Moulson Muscle, the Blue Porcelain Palace, and the Word
of the Week. And we'll start out with this. So
if you have listened to the Overnight Show, I have
done several malar monologues about the big scandal involving Shannon
Sharp and the Only Fans Model, and early on we
(03:50):
did a malar monologue and indicated things were looking pretty
good for Shannon Sharp. We did a second malar monologue
things were not looking is good for Shannon Sharp, and
I believe that's it. I don't think we did a
third one because of the NFL Draft. I don't recall
it's early. I've been up for a while, so I
(04:11):
don't recall that I bring this up because randomly, I
was going through some email. I was cleaning out some
email on one of my accounts that I have, and
I look and there's this message that I have, and
I'm like, let me click on this. This doesn't look familiar.
I thought it was spam. It was from a marketing
(04:35):
PR company, and it turns out that I have ended
up on an email chain from Lanny J. Davis and
associates either his office or I'm not even sure if
this came from him or it's the PR people. I'm
(04:57):
not exactly sure who originally put me on the list.
I know that my email because of this podcast, because
of the Overnight show, it still gets a lot of traction.
And in the past I had the website and I
mentioned this on the radio show, and because of the website,
I've gotten a fair amount of people that still send
(05:18):
me stuff randomly, like hey, they try to pitch you
on a guest And I used to write back to
those things and then I kept getting blown off by
the biggest names, like they'll send you an either so
and so a former MVP of the NFL is available
to do the podcast, and so you're right back and
they're like, oh, yeah, well we'll do that. And then
what they do is they do the bait and switch
(05:39):
where they'll agree for the big name to go on
the pod, and then right when you're about to do
the pod, he couldn't make it, but we have, you know,
Joe Jabinski who would like to come on. Who's the writer.
I'm like, I don't really want to talk to him.
The only reason I was going to do this is
to talk to the name I get some hits and
so anyway, so the lawyer for Shannon Charp, I'm on
(06:00):
this email chain. Again, I don't know if this came
directly from them or their PR firm. So the email
is a in case you missed it, and it gives
details from this is a few days ago Shannon Sharp
and his attempt he claims he's being blackmailed and all
this and secretly recorded. So there's a link in this
email to the news conference that the attorney for Shannon
(06:24):
Sharp held, Like, okay, I don't really need to see that.
But then below it are a bunch of attachments of
all of the text messages between the Only Fans Booty
Model and Shannon Sharp, and I'm like, wait a minute here,
so I click it. I'm like, I have Shannon Sharp.
(06:45):
I'm sure they've changed their number by now, but Shannon
Sharp's number, the only Fans Booty Model phone number, by
the way, both in the three to one oer area code.
I just want to point that out, both in the
in La West LA area code. So everything's right there,
and I mean it does not leave anything to the imagination.
(07:08):
Some of it has gotten I mean, although it's available,
but not everything. I mean, the most benign stuff is
in here. There's a lot of messages like from the
Booty Model telling Shannon you better effing call me. Shannon.
This is unacceptable, completely unacceptable. I answer my calls and
all that stuff. I mean that it's a lot of that,
(07:32):
and then they get into the graphic the back and forth.
But there's even links to Shannon, like buying her stuff.
I think that's the way I read it. I mean,
it's hard to keep track. There's photos of her. It's
it's pretty wild. Like it's crazy. It's thirty five pages
(07:53):
on one link of and each page has multiple thousands altogether,
there's thousands of text messages and it's a lot of
A nine stuff, and then there's like a lot of
graphics stuff. There's there's some that make it seem like
Shannon Sharp's got nothing to worry about, you know where
(08:15):
she says, you know, treat me like a blankety blank prostitute,
do whatever you want, Like that was in a text
it's on page two eighty six that was sent to
me from her phone. And then there's the rebuttal from him.
So who knows what's going to happen. I mean there's
even money, like he would buy her stuff. And she
(08:37):
says in one of the messages the only fans booty
model that she kept track. She said, you didn't give
me twenty five hundred two weeks ago. You gave me
like back in March, she gave me twenty five hundred
to three thousand. And I mean it's, you know, the
whole thing, it's all played out right there. I mean,
there's nothing, nothing missing at all. So this really was
(09:01):
the malor mother Load. And I haven't even gone through
all of it. I don't have enough time. I do
not have enough time to go through everything. So I
appreciate whoever added meat from the PR firm or from
the attorney's office there that sent me the emails that
have the text. But wow, wild quality reading. And I've
(09:24):
had multiple people already reach out to me because I
mentioned this on the radio show and they're like, Hey,
can you send me that link. I'd like to get
the copy of those text messages. I want to see
what you're dealing with over there. Now turning the page
on that a global exclusive. Now, I've mentioned multiple times
we were going to Canada next month. We're going to Canada.
(09:45):
Today's the twenty fifth, So so twenty fifth of April,
a little over a month from today, we're going to Canada,
and we are releasing details exclusive on the twenty twenty
five Canadian Malor Meet and greet before or we put
this on the socials. At some point I will put
out a little video and I will include information about
(10:08):
the Malor Meet and greet and a link and all
that stuff. But I'm not doing it yet. It's about
a month away, but I wanted to give you since
our loyal minion and you listen to this podcast on
a semi regular basis, We thank you for that. I'm
gonna give you the insight skin, I'm giving you the
stuff that we have not we have not talked about publicly.
(10:28):
So we are flying to Canada and all of us
on the show, Coop will be there, Lorena and myself.
We're flying into Vancouver on Thursday, May twenty ninth, So
a little over a month from now, Thursday May twenty ninth,
we're flying in. We have a Malor meet and greet
that will take place that night. Now it depends on
(10:51):
my travel. I'm flying in that afternoon, so it depends
how long it takes to get through the airport and
to get to the hotel and put my stuff down
and then get to the venue. But we are scheduled
to pop up at the court Side on Maine. Court
Side on Maine. That's twenty four to fifteen Main Street, Vancouver, BC,
Courtside on Maine. Dot com is the website if you
(11:14):
want to check out the venue six we're gonna be there.
My goal is to be there by about six thirty
or seven and we're just gonna hang out. We'll be
there for several hours, and it looks like a really
awesome place. They got a scoreboard in the middle here,
they've got it appears they've got like a bunch of
(11:34):
great sports memorabilia. I see some old Vancouver Grizzlies stuff,
which is pretty neat, and so we're excited about it.
I'm looking forward to being there. It looks like a
really fun place to hang out and we can watch
some ball games on TV. I'm sure there'll be some
NBA playoff games going on that night. And this is
(11:57):
a private event. I think we've got the I believe
we have the whole place, so I want to and
it's not private meeting for fan the show. You can come.
I want to thank Nico for making this happen. By
the way, Nico is a great supporter of the show.
He has been listening for a number of years now,
and he really wanted to make this happen. So it's happening.
(12:20):
So I want to thank him. And I did peruse
the menu, Nico, in case you're listening to this of
the court Side on Maine, and I did see roasted
garlic and palm fries. Roasted garlic and palm fries. I'm
in I'm in that's right there. It's on the appetizer
(12:40):
portion of the menu. That's a starter. They've got Crispy
chicken bites. Sounds good to me. This is kind of
like right. I can tell Nico knows my palette because
this is like right in my wheelhouse. Like the food
on this is like boom, right there. I'm in on
just about about all of it, just about all of it.
And then they have the main courses, and again it's
(13:05):
Malor approved food, Malor approved food. They've even got some
healthy things, but a lot of things that are not
so healthy, which I like. Got the slam burger. They
got the Crispy chicken, buffalo chicken sandwich thing that I'm
all about. So it's gonna be a a lot of fun.
The good menu looks like a great venue and we're
(13:26):
just gonna hang out. If you're in Vancouver or close enough,
obviously come down say hello if you're able to make it.
I've already gotten some emails from some of our friends
in the Pacific Northwest that are hoping to drive up
if people. I've heard from listeners in Idaho where else.
We obviously a lot of people in Washington because that's
(13:47):
just below British Columbia. There's a listener in Oregon, even Vegas,
and I think that's all. I'd have to go back
and check. But there were a fair amount of people
that reached out saying, hey, what are you going to
put the details of I'm planning to go. I can't
plan unless I know the dates and so anyway, May
(14:09):
twenty ninth is the big shin dig. It's a Thursday.
We will not be on the show, the radio show
that night because we'll be hanging out. We'll be hanging
out having a great time. So excited to go there
May twenty ninth, again courtside on Maine in Vancouver, BC.
We'll be having a great time. About seven o'clock, We'll say,
I'll try to get there before that. Try to get
(14:31):
there before that if you want to get there at
six and watch the games perfect and then we'll stay
for several hours and have a grand time. And then
there's another opportunity if you can't make the event on Thursday.
On Saturday, I will be popping my cherry at my
first ever professional soccer game. I've never been to a
professional soccer game, and the first game I will go
(14:54):
to is the Vancouver White Caps versus the Portland timm
They're called the timber Wolves or something. I don't know, Timbers. Anyway,
we'll be at that game and that is on that Saturday.
The game starts at six point thirty, So if you're
able to make that, we'll try to set up some
(15:14):
point during the game where we can meet everyone, because
I think we'll be hanging out in a special area
at the stadium. I'm not sure I know, but I'm
not allowed to say where we'll be hanging out. It's
kind of a boogie place we'll be hanging out. But
I do want to meet you. If you're not able
to make the meet and greet and you're able to
go to that, send me an email Ben Malorshow at
gmail dot com. We'll try to set something up and
(15:35):
let us know and we'll have a grand, grand, grand time.
So those are the two dates. Friday, we're just cruising around,
so you might see me on Friday. We're going to
check out the city and go around and see everything
and all the sites in Vancouver. I'm really excited about that.
There's some beautiful parks there and just amazing. Some of
(15:56):
the photos I looked at I cheated. I looked online.
Look awesome and a lot of poutine. And I mentioned
this on the radio show. I didn't pay it off.
Bad job by me on my to do list. Not
only is it to eat all the great poutine around Vancouver,
I've got to get the Costco. And the reason I've
got to get to Costco is you and Vancouver do
(16:19):
things just a little bit better. I've looked in the
Vancouver Costco chicken fingers poutine, chicken fingers poutine, that is
advantage Canada. What do we have to Does it take
an Act of Congress to demand that Costco give the
American people what they have in Canada with the poutine
(16:42):
and with the chicken strips. Come on, bad job by you. Anyway,
I'm excited to see that, so looking forward to it again.
If you've been listening in Vancouver, and I know a
lot of you do to the podcast and the live
radio show, come on down, say hello. Thursday May twenty ninth,
Saturday May thirty first at the soccer game. But we
beat the court side on Maine and I'll send all
(17:03):
this stuff out on social media in the next couple
of days. So we flipped the page on that, and
we will bring our Mulson muscle. By the way, that's
the whole thing. That's a Canadian joke. But the Blue
Porcelain Palace, this was a story that we would have
gotten to, we should have gotten to, but we didn't
(17:23):
get to. From the Overnight show, we are attacked by
the Gremlins last Night dateline. Blue Heaven on Earth, Blue
Heaven on Earth, wild story. Now it's a baseball story.
So it's like, well, you know, is it really that Well,
So the Dodgers got the big whale, the big whale
(17:44):
of the offseason, Roki Sazaki. Everyone wanted it, the Yankees,
the Giants, the Rangers, and the Phillies. A bunch of
teams wanted this guy, right, Dodgers got him. He's the
new prodigy from Japan, and he got paid. He got paid.
He was only able to sign with funds from the
(18:06):
International Bonus Pool, and so a lot of teams wanted him.
The Dodgers ended up winning the sweepstakes. And now we
are hearing, as Paul Harvey would say, the rest of
the story. That's right, the rest of the story. So
it turns out that the Dodgers think one of the
(18:29):
selling points was not just having other great Japanese players,
it was that the Dodgers bended over to accommodate a
very specific request that Sazaki had very unique request in
order to play for the Dodgers. While they were on
(18:52):
the prowl, while the Dodgers were doing the mating dance
to try to get Roki Sazaki to sign on the
Dodge a docu sign, they were making renovations to the
to the clubhouse because you know, God forbid the players
have to have to go in an old, stuffy clubhouse.
So Dodgers are making renovations to the locker room and
(19:17):
the president, longtime sports executive, stand cast and was chatting
to Suzaki. He's like, oh yeah, we're gonna have all
the amenities, you know. He's pumping his chest out, walking
around like a rooster. Oh yeah, we got everything. We
got everything you could want. The Dodgers suit said, and
(19:39):
we're going to have this, We're going to have that.
And Sazaki had one request. He said, are you the
Los Angeles Dodgers going to have Japanese style toilets? And
of course they weren't. They were not going to have it.
Rather odd, very specific request, and turns out it was
(20:04):
not not a joke. Now, Sozaki said, it sounded like
a joke, but he said he was very serious. He
said it was very important to him. It was pretty
important to him to have the Japanese style toys. So,
continuing the story here, so the Dodger executive asked if
it would play a role in his decision, and he
(20:25):
ended up taking the idea to another big shot at
the Dodgers who was in the planning and development of
the renovation, and that person said, well, what are we
supposed to do? The renovations are already underway. Everything got
to prove, you know, you do some renovations. You got
to go through all the red tape with the politicians
(20:47):
and the city planners and all that. So the other
weasel there executive stand casted, said, what's kind of important.
It's kind of important. So then there's a number, and
I want to share the number with you because the
number seems outrageous to me and I'm trying to get
how they get that number. So they said that the
(21:07):
decision to approve the Japanese Lou, if you will, the
Japanese Lou, the throne added added one hundred million dollars
to the clubhouse renovations. How on God's green Earth is
(21:30):
that number possible? Seriously, that seems ridiculous. There's no way
it can't be one hundred million dollars. I've tried to
do the map. Now. I am a fan of the
Japanese toilet. I like the badet. My name is Ben Mahler,
and I like the badat I do. I was embarrassed.
My wife got the the bidet for the toilets, and
(21:54):
it was very odd at first. It's like, well, this
is emasculating. But once you godet, you don't go back.
It's the toilet with the water spray for you for
your bottom side there, your posterior and if you're a lady,
your little feminine parts there, and it's great, it's great,
it's wonderful. In Japan, I guess they have heated seats,
(22:17):
they have deodorizers and things like that, and I don't
have that. I just have the basic. They've got a
drying function or the warm dry and you don't need
toilet paper and all that. They've got a massage thing,
the pulsating water feature. So I was like, oh, how
much does this cost the basic Like I think the
(22:37):
company's tushy. I think that's the name of it. But
the basic model is anywhere from like two hundred to
five hundred dollars. Okay, the Dodgers aren't going to do
a basic model, So I say, well, I looked it up.
I was like, I fell down this rabbit hole. I
was like, well, how much let's dose some matthew. How
much would a high end Japanese toilet with the bidet cost?
(23:03):
So like, well, high end is anywhere from one thousand
dollars to a little bit over ten thousand dollars. I said,
my god, that's a lot of money. So at ten
thousand dollars, how many how many do you think they need?
The Dodgers have a lot of but they don't have
to have every toilet be a Japanese toilet. They can
have a wing of Japanese toilets. So at ten thousand,
(23:26):
let's say they put I don't know, we'll put what's
the number, how about like eighteen, We'll put a random number,
eighteen of these toilets put them in there. Well, you
do the math, and that's one hundred and eighty thousand dollars.
That's one hundred and eighty thousand dollars. That's a lot
of money. If you're getting ten thousand dollars toilets at
(23:47):
eighteen of them, that's a fair amount, but it's not
one hundred million dollars. Like, I don't know how you
get one hundred million dollars. I don't know. That just
seems like the most poppy cock answer possible, Like even
the high end models are they've got remote controls, you
can connect your phone to them, your iPhone, all that,
(24:08):
and they've got all the functions. But still at ten
thousand dollars or even a little more than that, you're
not getting to one hundred million. And this request? Does
this not sound the roy Key Sazaki request for the
the blue Porcelain Palace? Does it not seem like those
Rock and Roll backstage rider requests where Madonna wanted a
(24:33):
brand new toilet set at every venue. The most famous
one is Van Halen, who demanded a bowl of m
and m's with the brown ones picked out right, No
brown emin ms. Get rid of the brown m and ms,
even though through I mean there's a bunch of those things.
You know, certain people Christina Aguilera back in that they
needed a police escort. David Hasselhoff demanded a life size
(24:57):
cutout of himself and just you know, on and on
and on and on and on. All right, number that time.
Now for the word of the week. That's right, the
word of the week, and we're going to go deep
in our lexicon in honor of the big announcement, the
details on the Great Malard Meet and Greet, the first
(25:21):
one of twenty twenty five, the first one ever outside
the United States in Canada, Ohada. And while we are
trying to get our Mulson muscle, I thought I would
honor our friends in Canada with a word that has
been mocked on American television for some time, and it's
(25:42):
the most Canadian word many Americans can think of. The
word of the week is hoser. That's right, your hoser.
So a hoser is a Canadian slang term. I think
you probably knew that, and it's a very funny term.
And in modern times, the times were in today as
(26:04):
I understand now you're in Canada, and I could be
completely full of doodo. This is my research. This is
my research, and this is what I came up with.
So the term hosers Canadian slang term, and in current
times it means in somebody's little, clumsy, goofy, uncoordinated, unsophisticated, borish, bedraggled,
(26:29):
all of those things. And it's typically a Canadian dude
who enjoys three things, beer, hockey and relaxing. Beer hockey
and relaxing. And it became pretty popular in the nineteen
eighties because of Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas on The
(26:55):
Great White North, which was a segment on SCTV. Can
also be interpreted as an insult. If you want to
take it as an insult, you're you're a loser, you know,
how dare you? But from what I understand, like what
I've seen, is like it's a term of endearment. It's like, ah,
you're such a holser. It's kind of a fun thing
(27:16):
and everyone smiles and all that stuff. Now, the part
of this which I thought was the most interesting, and
this is the part I did not know, I was
unaware of, And it's one of those things the rest
of the story. So the origins of the term hoser
relate to the days long ago. This is I'm so
(27:39):
far back. There was no zamboni, And we're going back
to the Depression when times were tough, the era of
the Depression, and the farmer, the down of the luck.
Farmer would siphon gas with a hose. Literally, they were
hosers there. They needed the gas, they siphoned it with
(28:02):
their mouth through the hose, and thus became the term hoser.
How many people do you think had to do that
before they came up with the term hoser. I think
of the number of people that had to be doing that.
And the other origin, which is not this is like
a more modern thing, but it still predates the zamboni.
(28:26):
The losing team who lost the hockey match had to
hose down the rink. They were hosers. They were the losers.
They had the hose down the rink. So those are
the two most common origins of the word hoser. So
there it is. We'll put the baby to bed. We'll
(28:48):
be watching random NBA playoff games tonight, and we'll have
a new podcast obviously tomorrow, and I will be checking
out the NFL Draft. Am I going to watch the
NFL Draft. I'm going to be flipper. I'm gonna flip
over to the draft. The Rams haven't made a bloody
pick yet, which kind of annoys me. I do like
the rams, and there's some players I'm curious about where
(29:12):
they're going to get drafted and all that, and so
we will take a look at that and the yap
about the various players that are picked and Shoulder Sanders
where he's going to get drafted today as an example.
So all of that will break it down on the
pod tomorrow. Some of that on the pod tomorrow. We
don't do too much sports. But anyway, have a wonderful
(29:36):
rest of your Friday. Thank you for listening to the podcast.
Thank you for listening all week to the radio show.
Hopefully you can meet us in Canada. If not, we'll
have some other mallor meet and greets around North America
around the United States later this particular year. But have
a great day. We'll catch you next time later. Skater
(29:57):
Austa pasta yah. I think I'm done, Danny. That's it.
I got nothing else. I got nothing else. I'm done done.
Skis gotta murder, I gotta go
Cut booms.
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 clearinghouse of
hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth Hour

Speaker 1 (00:28):

Mahler and Danny g Radio. A Happy Friday to you.
It is bright and early as we are recording this
live on tape, Live on tape, this edition of The
Fifth Hour with Me Ben Mahler, and I want to
point out we did have some glitches on the overnight
(00:51):
show heading into this Friday morning the Gremlins attack. Bad
job by then, but we survived the Gremlin attack and
we have prosper in the podcast wing of the remote studio.
Danny will join us over the course of the weekend.
So the Gremlins knocked us out for about fifteen minutes,
(01:12):
which is not that bad. I thought it would be
worse than that. It was only about fifteen minutes, and
then we came back today, twenty fifth day of April.
It is National license Plate Day. Yeah, it's also Arbor Day.
And I mean there's a bunch of like the National
Arbor Day, it's a Hug a Plumber Day, National Telephone Day.
(01:33):
The one that caught my attention is National license Plate Day. Yeah,
it's a wonderful day. The first every here's a fun
fact for alf the ALIENA Pinter the first ever issued
license plate in the US nineteen o one. Prior to that,
there was no official marking on any vehicle. Of course,
(01:57):
there weren't a lot of cars out there. And with
the passage of a law, the New York New York
State became the first state to issue a license plate
on vehicles, and then it came all the way across
the country to the West Coast and all that. Today.
You know how many registered vehicles there are in the
(02:19):
United States? You want to take a guess, reveal answers
or reveal answers. There's more than two hundred and fifty
million registered vehicles in the United States. That seems about right.
That seems about right. You know, some people have more
than one and the whole thing at the time though
they say, we're moving to the timeline. It's nineteen oh one.
(02:41):
The governor of New York passed a law mandating that
vehicles have license plates. In nineteen oh two, there were
one thousand, five hundred and sixty six automobile owners registered
with the state the vehicles the first year that the
law pass so there was fifteen hundred and sixty six
(03:03):
vehicles the first year. And then Massachusetts became the first
state to distribute state issue license plates, so that was
nineteen oh three, and over the years has been just NonStop,
as you know. So there you go National License Plate
Day on this pod. Right now here we go. What
(03:25):
do we have today? We have the Malard mother Load,
the Moulson Muscle, the Blue Porcelain Palace, and the Word
of the Week. And we'll start out with this. So
if you have listened to the Overnight Show, I have
done several malar monologues about the big scandal involving Shannon
Sharp and the Only Fans Model, and early on we
(03:50):
did a malar monologue and indicated things were looking pretty
good for Shannon Sharp. We did a second malar monologue
things were not looking is good for Shannon Sharp, and
I believe that's it. I don't think we did a
third one because of the NFL Draft. I don't recall
it's early. I've been up for a while, so I
(04:11):
don't recall that I bring this up because randomly, I
was going through some email. I was cleaning out some
email on one of my accounts that I have, and
I look and there's this message that I have, and
I'm like, let me click on this. This doesn't look familiar.
I thought it was spam. It was from a marketing
(04:35):
PR company, and it turns out that I have ended
up on an email chain from Lanny J. Davis and
associates either his office or I'm not even sure if
this came from him or it's the PR people. I'm
(04:57):
not exactly sure who originally put me on the list.
I know that my email because of this podcast, because
of the Overnight show, it still gets a lot of traction.
And in the past I had the website and I
mentioned this on the radio show, and because of the website,
I've gotten a fair amount of people that still send
(05:18):
me stuff randomly, like hey, they try to pitch you
on a guest And I used to write back to
those things and then I kept getting blown off by
the biggest names, like they'll send you an either so
and so a former MVP of the NFL is available
to do the podcast, and so you're right back and
they're like, oh, yeah, well we'll do that. And then
what they do is they do the bait and switch
(05:39):
where they'll agree for the big name to go on
the pod, and then right when you're about to do
the pod, he couldn't make it, but we have, you know,
Joe Jabinski who would like to come on. Who's the writer.
I'm like, I don't really want to talk to him.
The only reason I was going to do this is
to talk to the name I get some hits and
so anyway, so the lawyer for Shannon Charp, I'm on
(06:00):
this email chain. Again, I don't know if this came
directly from them or their PR firm. So the email
is a in case you missed it, and it gives
details from this is a few days ago Shannon Sharp
and his attempt he claims he's being blackmailed and all
this and secretly recorded. So there's a link in this
email to the news conference that the attorney for Shannon
(06:24):
Sharp held, Like, okay, I don't really need to see that.
But then below it are a bunch of attachments of
all of the text messages between the Only Fans Booty
Model and Shannon Sharp, and I'm like, wait a minute here,
so I click it. I'm like, I have Shannon Sharp.
(06:45):
I'm sure they've changed their number by now, but Shannon
Sharp's number, the only Fans Booty Model phone number, by
the way, both in the three to one oer area code.
I just want to point that out, both in the
in La West LA area code. So everything's right there,
and I mean it does not leave anything to the imagination.
(07:08):
Some of it has gotten I mean, although it's available,
but not everything. I mean, the most benign stuff is
in here. There's a lot of messages like from the
Booty Model telling Shannon you better effing call me. Shannon.
This is unacceptable, completely unacceptable. I answer my calls and
all that stuff. I mean that it's a lot of that,
(07:32):
and then they get into the graphic the back and forth.
But there's even links to Shannon, like buying her stuff.
I think that's the way I read it. I mean,
it's hard to keep track. There's photos of her. It's
it's pretty wild. Like it's crazy. It's thirty five pages
(07:53):
on one link of and each page has multiple thousands altogether,
there's thousands of text messages and it's a lot of
A nine stuff, and then there's like a lot of
graphics stuff. There's there's some that make it seem like
Shannon Sharp's got nothing to worry about, you know where
(08:15):
she says, you know, treat me like a blankety blank prostitute,
do whatever you want, Like that was in a text
it's on page two eighty six that was sent to
me from her phone. And then there's the rebuttal from him.
So who knows what's going to happen. I mean there's
even money, like he would buy her stuff. And she
(08:37):
says in one of the messages the only fans booty
model that she kept track. She said, you didn't give
me twenty five hundred two weeks ago. You gave me
like back in March, she gave me twenty five hundred
to three thousand. And I mean it's, you know, the
whole thing, it's all played out right there. I mean,
there's nothing, nothing missing at all. So this really was
(09:01):
the malor mother Load. And I haven't even gone through
all of it. I don't have enough time. I do
not have enough time to go through everything. So I
appreciate whoever added meat from the PR firm or from
the attorney's office there that sent me the emails that
have the text. But wow, wild quality reading. And I've
(09:24):
had multiple people already reach out to me because I
mentioned this on the radio show and they're like, Hey,
can you send me that link. I'd like to get
the copy of those text messages. I want to see
what you're dealing with over there. Now turning the page
on that a global exclusive. Now, I've mentioned multiple times
we were going to Canada next month. We're going to Canada.
(09:45):
Today's the twenty fifth, So so twenty fifth of April,
a little over a month from today, we're going to Canada,
and we are releasing details exclusive on the twenty twenty
five Canadian Malor Meet and greet before or we put
this on the socials. At some point I will put
out a little video and I will include information about
(10:08):
the Malor Meet and greet and a link and all
that stuff. But I'm not doing it yet. It's about
a month away, but I wanted to give you since
our loyal minion and you listen to this podcast on
a semi regular basis, We thank you for that. I'm
gonna give you the insight skin, I'm giving you the
stuff that we have not we have not talked about publicly.
(10:28):
So we are flying to Canada and all of us
on the show, Coop will be there, Lorena and myself.
We're flying into Vancouver on Thursday, May twenty ninth, So
a little over a month from now, Thursday May twenty ninth,
we're flying in. We have a Malor meet and greet
that will take place that night. Now it depends on
(10:51):
my travel. I'm flying in that afternoon, so it depends
how long it takes to get through the airport and
to get to the hotel and put my stuff down
and then get to the venue. But we are scheduled
to pop up at the court Side on Maine. Court
Side on Maine. That's twenty four to fifteen Main Street, Vancouver, BC,
Courtside on Maine. Dot com is the website if you
(11:14):
want to check out the venue six we're gonna be there.
My goal is to be there by about six thirty
or seven and we're just gonna hang out. We'll be
there for several hours, and it looks like a really
awesome place. They got a scoreboard in the middle here,
they've got it appears they've got like a bunch of
(11:34):
great sports memorabilia. I see some old Vancouver Grizzlies stuff,
which is pretty neat, and so we're excited about it.
I'm looking forward to being there. It looks like a
really fun place to hang out and we can watch
some ball games on TV. I'm sure there'll be some
NBA playoff games going on that night. And this is
(11:57):
a private event. I think we've got the I believe
we have the whole place, so I want to and
it's not private meeting for fan the show. You can come.
I want to thank Nico for making this happen. By
the way, Nico is a great supporter of the show.
He has been listening for a number of years now,
and he really wanted to make this happen. So it's happening.
(12:20):
So I want to thank him. And I did peruse
the menu, Nico, in case you're listening to this of
the court Side on Maine, and I did see roasted
garlic and palm fries. Roasted garlic and palm fries. I'm
in I'm in that's right there. It's on the appetizer
(12:40):
portion of the menu. That's a starter. They've got Crispy
chicken bites. Sounds good to me. This is kind of
like right. I can tell Nico knows my palette because
this is like right in my wheelhouse. Like the food
on this is like boom, right there. I'm in on
just about about all of it, just about all of it.
And then they have the main courses, and again it's
(13:05):
Malor approved food, Malor approved food. They've even got some
healthy things, but a lot of things that are not
so healthy, which I like. Got the slam burger. They
got the Crispy chicken, buffalo chicken sandwich thing that I'm
all about. So it's gonna be a a lot of fun.
The good menu looks like a great venue and we're
(13:26):
just gonna hang out. If you're in Vancouver or close enough,
obviously come down say hello if you're able to make it.
I've already gotten some emails from some of our friends
in the Pacific Northwest that are hoping to drive up
if people. I've heard from listeners in Idaho where else.
We obviously a lot of people in Washington because that's
(13:47):
just below British Columbia. There's a listener in Oregon, even Vegas,
and I think that's all. I'd have to go back
and check. But there were a fair amount of people
that reached out saying, hey, what are you going to
put the details of I'm planning to go. I can't
plan unless I know the dates and so anyway, May
(14:09):
twenty ninth is the big shin dig. It's a Thursday.
We will not be on the show, the radio show
that night because we'll be hanging out. We'll be hanging
out having a great time. So excited to go there
May twenty ninth, again courtside on Maine in Vancouver, BC.
We'll be having a great time. About seven o'clock, We'll say,
I'll try to get there before that. Try to get
(14:31):
there before that if you want to get there at
six and watch the games perfect and then we'll stay
for several hours and have a grand time. And then
there's another opportunity if you can't make the event on Thursday.
On Saturday, I will be popping my cherry at my
first ever professional soccer game. I've never been to a
professional soccer game, and the first game I will go
(14:54):
to is the Vancouver White Caps versus the Portland timm
They're called the timber Wolves or something. I don't know, Timbers. Anyway,
we'll be at that game and that is on that Saturday.
The game starts at six point thirty, So if you're
able to make that, we'll try to set up some
(15:14):
point during the game where we can meet everyone, because
I think we'll be hanging out in a special area
at the stadium. I'm not sure I know, but I'm
not allowed to say where we'll be hanging out. It's
kind of a boogie place we'll be hanging out. But
I do want to meet you. If you're not able
to make the meet and greet and you're able to
go to that, send me an email Ben Malorshow at
gmail dot com. We'll try to set something up and
(15:35):
let us know and we'll have a grand, grand, grand time.
So those are the two dates. Friday, we're just cruising around,
so you might see me on Friday. We're going to
check out the city and go around and see everything
and all the sites in Vancouver. I'm really excited about that.
There's some beautiful parks there and just amazing. Some of
(15:56):
the photos I looked at I cheated. I looked online.
Look awesome and a lot of poutine. And I mentioned
this on the radio show. I didn't pay it off.
Bad job by me on my to do list. Not
only is it to eat all the great poutine around Vancouver,
I've got to get the Costco. And the reason I've
got to get to Costco is you and Vancouver do
(16:19):
things just a little bit better. I've looked in the
Vancouver Costco chicken fingers poutine, chicken fingers poutine, that is
advantage Canada. What do we have to Does it take
an Act of Congress to demand that Costco give the
American people what they have in Canada with the poutine
(16:42):
and with the chicken strips. Come on, bad job by you. Anyway,
I'm excited to see that, so looking forward to it again.
If you've been listening in Vancouver, and I know a
lot of you do to the podcast and the live
radio show, come on down, say hello. Thursday May twenty ninth,
Saturday May thirty first at the soccer game. But we
beat the court side on Maine and I'll send all
(17:03):
this stuff out on social media in the next couple
of days. So we flipped the page on that, and
we will bring our Mulson muscle. By the way, that's
the whole thing. That's a Canadian joke. But the Blue
Porcelain Palace, this was a story that we would have
gotten to, we should have gotten to, but we didn't
(17:23):
get to. From the Overnight show, we are attacked by
the Gremlins last Night dateline. Blue Heaven on Earth, Blue
Heaven on Earth, wild story. Now it's a baseball story.
So it's like, well, you know, is it really that Well,
So the Dodgers got the big whale, the big whale
(17:44):
of the offseason, Roki Sazaki. Everyone wanted it, the Yankees,
the Giants, the Rangers, and the Phillies. A bunch of
teams wanted this guy, right, Dodgers got him. He's the
new prodigy from Japan, and he got paid. He got paid.
He was only able to sign with funds from the
(18:06):
International Bonus Pool, and so a lot of teams wanted him.
The Dodgers ended up winning the sweepstakes. And now we
are hearing, as Paul Harvey would say, the rest of
the story. That's right, the rest of the story. So
it turns out that the Dodgers think one of the
(18:29):
selling points was not just having other great Japanese players,
it was that the Dodgers bended over to accommodate a
very specific request that Sazaki had very unique request in
order to play for the Dodgers. While they were on
(18:52):
the prowl, while the Dodgers were doing the mating dance
to try to get Roki Sazaki to sign on the
Dodge a docu sign, they were making renovations to the
to the clubhouse because you know, God forbid the players
have to have to go in an old, stuffy clubhouse.
So Dodgers are making renovations to the locker room and
(19:17):
the president, longtime sports executive, stand cast and was chatting
to Suzaki. He's like, oh yeah, we're gonna have all
the amenities, you know. He's pumping his chest out, walking
around like a rooster. Oh yeah, we got everything. We
got everything you could want. The Dodgers suit said, and
(19:39):
we're going to have this, We're going to have that.
And Sazaki had one request. He said, are you the
Los Angeles Dodgers going to have Japanese style toilets? And
of course they weren't. They were not going to have it.
Rather odd, very specific request, and turns out it was
(20:04):
not not a joke. Now, Sozaki said, it sounded like
a joke, but he said he was very serious. He
said it was very important to him. It was pretty
important to him to have the Japanese style toys. So,
continuing the story here, so the Dodger executive asked if
it would play a role in his decision, and he
(20:25):
ended up taking the idea to another big shot at
the Dodgers who was in the planning and development of
the renovation, and that person said, well, what are we
supposed to do? The renovations are already underway. Everything got
to prove, you know, you do some renovations. You got
to go through all the red tape with the politicians
(20:47):
and the city planners and all that. So the other
weasel there executive stand casted, said, what's kind of important.
It's kind of important. So then there's a number, and
I want to share the number with you because the
number seems outrageous to me and I'm trying to get
how they get that number. So they said that the
(21:07):
decision to approve the Japanese Lou, if you will, the
Japanese Lou, the throne added added one hundred million dollars
to the clubhouse renovations. How on God's green Earth is
(21:30):
that number possible? Seriously, that seems ridiculous. There's no way
it can't be one hundred million dollars. I've tried to
do the map. Now. I am a fan of the
Japanese toilet. I like the badet. My name is Ben Mahler,
and I like the badat I do. I was embarrassed.
My wife got the the bidet for the toilets, and
(21:54):
it was very odd at first. It's like, well, this
is emasculating. But once you godet, you don't go back.
It's the toilet with the water spray for you for
your bottom side there, your posterior and if you're a lady,
your little feminine parts there, and it's great, it's great,
it's wonderful. In Japan, I guess they have heated seats,
(22:17):
they have deodorizers and things like that, and I don't
have that. I just have the basic. They've got a
drying function or the warm dry and you don't need
toilet paper and all that. They've got a massage thing,
the pulsating water feature. So I was like, oh, how
much does this cost the basic Like I think the
(22:37):
company's tushy. I think that's the name of it. But
the basic model is anywhere from like two hundred to
five hundred dollars. Okay, the Dodgers aren't going to do
a basic model, So I say, well, I looked it up.
I was like, I fell down this rabbit hole. I
was like, well, how much let's dose some matthew. How
much would a high end Japanese toilet with the bidet cost?
(23:03):
So like, well, high end is anywhere from one thousand
dollars to a little bit over ten thousand dollars. I said,
my god, that's a lot of money. So at ten
thousand dollars, how many how many do you think they need?
The Dodgers have a lot of but they don't have
to have every toilet be a Japanese toilet. They can
have a wing of Japanese toilets. So at ten thousand,
(23:26):
let's say they put I don't know, we'll put what's
the number, how about like eighteen, We'll put a random number,
eighteen of these toilets put them in there. Well, you
do the math, and that's one hundred and eighty thousand dollars.
That's one hundred and eighty thousand dollars. That's a lot
of money. If you're getting ten thousand dollars toilets at
(23:47):
eighteen of them, that's a fair amount, but it's not
one hundred million dollars. Like, I don't know how you
get one hundred million dollars. I don't know. That just
seems like the most poppy cock answer possible, Like even
the high end models are they've got remote controls, you
can connect your phone to them, your iPhone, all that,
(24:08):
and they've got all the functions. But still at ten
thousand dollars or even a little more than that, you're
not getting to one hundred million. And this request? Does
this not sound the roy Key Sazaki request for the
the blue Porcelain Palace? Does it not seem like those
Rock and Roll backstage rider requests where Madonna wanted a
(24:33):
brand new toilet set at every venue. The most famous
one is Van Halen, who demanded a bowl of m
and m's with the brown ones picked out right, No
brown emin ms. Get rid of the brown m and ms,
even though through I mean there's a bunch of those things.
You know, certain people Christina Aguilera back in that they
needed a police escort. David Hasselhoff demanded a life size
(24:57):
cutout of himself and just you know, on and on
and on and on and on. All right, number that time.
Now for the word of the week. That's right, the
word of the week, and we're going to go deep
in our lexicon in honor of the big announcement, the
details on the Great Malard Meet and Greet, the first
(25:21):
one of twenty twenty five, the first one ever outside
the United States in Canada, Ohada. And while we are
trying to get our Mulson muscle, I thought I would
honor our friends in Canada with a word that has
been mocked on American television for some time, and it's
(25:42):
the most Canadian word many Americans can think of. The
word of the week is hoser. That's right, your hoser.
So a hoser is a Canadian slang term. I think
you probably knew that, and it's a very funny term.
And in modern times, the times were in today as
(26:04):
I understand now you're in Canada, and I could be
completely full of doodo. This is my research. This is
my research, and this is what I came up with.
So the term hosers Canadian slang term, and in current
times it means in somebody's little, clumsy, goofy, uncoordinated, unsophisticated, borish, bedraggled,
(26:29):
all of those things. And it's typically a Canadian dude
who enjoys three things, beer, hockey and relaxing. Beer hockey
and relaxing. And it became pretty popular in the nineteen
eighties because of Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas on The
(26:55):
Great White North, which was a segment on SCTV. Can
also be interpreted as an insult. If you want to
take it as an insult, you're you're a loser, you know,
how dare you? But from what I understand, like what
I've seen, is like it's a term of endearment. It's like, ah,
you're such a holser. It's kind of a fun thing
(27:16):
and everyone smiles and all that stuff. Now, the part
of this which I thought was the most interesting, and
this is the part I did not know, I was
unaware of, And it's one of those things the rest
of the story. So the origins of the term hoser
relate to the days long ago. This is I'm so
(27:39):
far back. There was no zamboni, And we're going back
to the Depression when times were tough, the era of
the Depression, and the farmer, the down of the luck.
Farmer would siphon gas with a hose. Literally, they were
hosers there. They needed the gas, they siphoned it with
(28:02):
their mouth through the hose, and thus became the term hoser.
How many people do you think had to do that
before they came up with the term hoser. I think
of the number of people that had to be doing that.
And the other origin, which is not this is like
a more modern thing, but it still predates the zamboni.
(28:26):
The losing team who lost the hockey match had to
hose down the rink. They were hosers. They were the losers.
They had the hose down the rink. So those are
the two most common origins of the word hoser. So
there it is. We'll put the baby to bed. We'll
(28:48):
be watching random NBA playoff games tonight, and we'll have
a new podcast obviously tomorrow, and I will be checking
out the NFL Draft. Am I going to watch the
NFL Draft. I'm going to be flipper. I'm gonna flip
over to the draft. The Rams haven't made a bloody
pick yet, which kind of annoys me. I do like
the rams, and there's some players I'm curious about where
(29:12):
they're going to get drafted and all that, and so
we will take a look at that and the yap
about the various players that are picked and Shoulder Sanders
where he's going to get drafted today as an example.
So all of that will break it down on the
pod tomorrow. Some of that on the pod tomorrow. We
don't do too much sports. But anyway, have a wonderful
(29:36):
rest of your Friday. Thank you for listening to the podcast.
Thank you for listening all week to the radio show.
Hopefully you can meet us in Canada. If not, we'll
have some other mallor meet and greets around North America
around the United States later this particular year. But have
a great day. We'll catch you next time later. Skater
(29:57):
Austa pasta yah. I think I'm done, Danny. That's it.
I got nothing else. I got nothing else. I'm done done.
Skis gotta murder, I gotta go
