Speaker 1 (00:01):
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 soul fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
In the a.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Everywhere, The Fifth Hour with Ben Maler and Danny G
Radio because four hours a night are not enough on
the Overnight show. And of course Danny's got his own
battles every day with.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Covino and Rich.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
But you hear me on the Ben Mallor Show and
Danny G Radio hanging out. I do want to thank
Tom Looney who was on am I on yesterday a
big Friday podcast, as we welcomed in a new chapter
in my career. But did Danny what you been up to? Man?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
How's the baby doing well? First of all, that was
some fun post production because I inserted like three or
four of the famous Tom Looney name drops.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Got Tom Looney he demanded that or else he said
he wouldn't do the podcast. He said, you know, we
need I need my marketing, and you of course coming
through to help out the Looney brand.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah, I know. He was a smiling air to air
as he listened back to that several times. Because he
loves himself. I like latinos too. Tom loves himself some Tom,
just like Ricky Henderson.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yes, Yes, the biggest fan of Tom Looney is Tom Looney.
The second biggest fan of Tom Looney is Tom Looney.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Correct. I'm glad that his coin days from back in
the day have finally paid off to give him some
more FaceTime on TV.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Yes, it's just what he needs. And it's funny. We
were talking the other night on the radio show when
I made the announcement on the Friday show, I was
talking about how we were discussing wardrobe and there's a
certain thing they want you to wear and whatnot, so
we're going over all that, and of course I was like, well,
let me wear as many clothes as I possibly can.
(02:21):
And Tom's the complete opposite. You know, he wants to
show off everything and I want to show off nothing.
That's what I want.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
The complete He's got a gun show and you have
a ticket to an Amish Paradise.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yes, Amish Burka whatever, moo, moo, I don't know whatever
you want there. Anyway, We've got Hurting Hot Takes to
blowout darkness, retreat and back scratch it also get out
of the car, a never before told story that we
will discuss, and the word of the week, and may
(02:56):
even have pop culture. We have a lot to get to,
but the start we'll begin with this. Both myself and
Danny g have entered rarefied air in the sports radio game,
and oh what a game it is. As we both
were called in out of the bullpen. I got to
(03:16):
call on.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Monday. I believe it was Monday.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
It all runs together, but I gotta call on Mondays, Hey,
what do you think about stepping into the big chair?
And I said, I don't know, I don't know. I said, okay,
but yeah, Colin Cowherd was away on vacation and so
a bunch of us got to fill in, and I
(03:41):
did the show on Wednesday, Hurting Hot Takes with the
great Rab Parker warning, hot takes could send you to
the burn unit. The hot that takes for that hot,
that hot, and you might burn your tongue.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
That takes for that hot.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Anyways, it's a lot of fun. The Cowherd Show. I
don't know if it's the biggest sports radio show today.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I'm not sure about all that.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
But it's pretty big, and I know there's always been
more people listening on the radio than watching on the TV.
With that show, there's a huge reach and all that.
So it was fun to be on there with Rob.
We had a good time. We didn't do any guests
and walking around one of the other floors at the
Premiere Networks building, which I had not been on Danny
(04:29):
that floor in probably a year and a half at least,
if not longer than that. I'm trying to think the
last time I was on the floor where the Cowherd
studio just radio only was and I noticed, I don't
know if you noticed that, Danny, I had a weird
twilight zone like Malmate where I walked around normally. I
(04:51):
had the whole map in my head on that floor
and I turned the corner and there was a wall
there that should not have been there. Yeah, they just
put a wall up right in the middle where there
was a hallway. They just this is no longer a hallway.
It is now a wall and not just a temporary wall. No, no, no,
(05:12):
this was a wall with dry wall and just look
like that was part of the building. Pretty crazy, huh.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I think Rush Limbaugh's remains are in the side of
the building that they boarded up.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Yeah, there's there's one of those one of those things
where you put them in the ground for like twenty
years or one hundred years, one hundred years and then
you to them.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, well no, not to do.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
But it's a what's the thing you know they put
like artifacts in a box and then you open it up.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
One hundred years old time capsule.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Yeah, time caps There's a Premier Network's time capsule in there,
and there's like old headphones from Casey Kasem. There's some
kind of bag that doctor Laura left when she left
the building. And Matt Drudge I think has an old
laptop in there. Like some of the legends of the
(06:02):
Premiere Networks. Rick dz likely left an old piece of
his equipment, the radio equipment that he used to use,
that old school nineteen seventies style radio equipment. So it's
all on that time capsule in the wall. But that
was a lot of fun, Danny. I had a good
time I'm sure you had a good time. At the
(06:23):
end of the week they're doing that, and it was
a lot different for me though, because of my schedule,
and when I met with the Coward people and they're like, well,
you know, here's what Colin does and here's you know this,
and I said, well, I have nothing against Colin, but
I have not heard the show.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I'm sleeping. I am.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Never I've not heard the Colin Cowhard show. I can't.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I can't.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
I'm sure I probably have heard it at some point
because I've had to be awake at that hour, but
normally I'm sleeping, and so Colin's like doing the overnight
show for me on my schedule, So being up and
taking part in that it was it was different. And
then I had to come back and do the overnight show.
And on top of that, Danny a terrible sleeper. So
(07:07):
I was planning. I was like, in my head, I'm
gonna go home, I'm gonna lay down, I'll get four
hours of sleep, I'll be good to go for the
overnight show. And I laid down and my mind kept
going and going and going and going, and I was
thinking about what I had to do next, and I
was thinking about the TV stuff and what was going
(07:28):
on with that, and I.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Needed to do something.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
And anyway, by the time it all got done, I
think I maybe got about thirty minutes of shut eye maybe,
and I just got back up.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I am the definition of a loser. Damn you. You're
right when you said rarefied air. There were three shows
I listened to as a fan of sports talk back
in the day when I was just a little g
and that was the original Dan Patrick Show on ESPN Radio,
(08:01):
and then Colin Cowherd his original show on ESPN Radio
when he was broadcasting out of the East Coast. And
then The Blitz. This is the Blitz with Ben Maller
and Tom Looney. Yeah, you know, I've now been on
two of those three shows now, wow. Yeah, the only
(08:24):
one missing is the Blitz.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Well, and if you go on the Blitz, now, that
would be impressive. That would be impressive if you were
you were on the Blitz. But it's funny because I've
been working with Looney again. Obviously, we had him on
the podcast yesterday and we kind of, you know, kind
of after a couple of demos shows that we did,
we kind of got a little bit of the magic
(08:47):
back Danny that we used to have when we did
the Blitz back in the day, and people like that,
look at that.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Maybe our boss will think about some future Blitz action
on the network.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Oh no, the Blitz has been off the air for
a long time.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
It's bendy, it's trendy to bring the classics back.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
What's old is new again, right, exactly like the records.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
The one thing I wanted to comment on about the
Herd though, as amazing of an experience that was to
work on his show, we didn't get to go to
the TV lot, and as Covino said on the air,
he thought he was going to get to be on
TV and have hair and makeup done and like a
catered setup when he arrived. Instead, it was bad office
(09:33):
coffee and a broom closet that they use a couple
times a year for radio only. And let's just say,
some things in that little studio are scotch taped together
because they don't use it often enough to upkeep that
little studio.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Yes, and that studio. Here's a fun fact the history
of the Premiere Networks. That was the jungle that used
to be the Uncle. Oh back in the day, that
is where Jim Rome did his radio show back in
his heyday, when Rome was the king of sports radio.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
My paws. That was that little cubby hole.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
That was where Rome hit out and did did his
show and been nomenal. He's moved on, he's been at
CBS for a while doing his thing in other places,
and so that studio had had remained, and so that's
what became of that. So that's that's the old Jim
(10:36):
Rome studio.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Who knows crazy, no wonder. When I walked in there,
I had this it was, I don't know, it was
like a mystique. It was I had this feeling of
I wanted to go to a hotel gym and do
cardio for two hours.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
When I went in there, I wanted to grab a
vine is what I wanted to do, and just like Tarzan,
just go around and play some hard rock from back
in the day, some classic hard rock anyway, lock them yeah, rackab,
a huge call of the day, the smack off, all
the classic radio bits from million years ago. And I
(11:16):
actually did the last Jim Rome show for the Premiere Networks,
What are You Doing. Jim had agreed to a deal
to leave the company, but they still had to carry
the show for a certain number of days, and so
me and the former Raider Lincoln Kennedy, we did a
show together in that studio. We had like the Jim
(11:37):
Rome Show and that even though Jim it's long gone,
long gone, go away, you're a pig.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
It was cool.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
It's fun doing the Coward Show. And I agree with
Covido and Rich it would have been better if there
had been craft services and yeah, right, lights and we
had a camera on us though. Man, we had Elijah
are one of our Internet guys. He had two cameras
set up, one on Rob, one on me, and recording
(12:08):
stuff for the Internet.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Oh. We were squished in there like sardines, just like
you guys were. So by the end of the show, man,
I felt like Patrick Ewing. I was drinking what.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Yeah, we were worried someone was gonna get pregnant.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
It was that close.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
You know, you don't know, but I think the genetics
would not have allowed that to happen.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
But he's getting pregnant this morning.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Yeah. Yeah, So I had a darkness retreat. If you
had another luncheon with the this time, I popped randomly up.
I try to find reasons to go to Tito's Tacos
Dandy because I love spending seven dollars on a taco.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I think that's the I don't think it's quite seven dollars,
but it's close. So that's my favorite taco place.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I've been going there.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
I've talked about them a lot. They should buy a spot.
It's so good you'll get two. But I so I
met my buddy Lee over there. We had a little
luncheon and then I went to the Dodger game. But
I consider it like a Darkness retreat because Lee is
the original prince of Darkness and radio. And so it
was a lot of a lot of the same old
(13:15):
stories and all that. Now as far as one other point,
and this, this is actually pretty funny.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
You'll get a kick out of this, Danny.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
So I had to pick up my past. Now that
I'm going to be doing the TV show every week,
I needed a pass. Now we're gonna do the TV
show out of the famous Universal Studios. Oh cool in
l A and so right off Lancasham there.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
But just who's designing your set? Bill?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
No, I don't, I don't mean you'll see you'll see
you'll be. It's the magic of TV. It looks better
than it is. But much like La, everything looks you know,
on the outside, its beautifully Get closer, you know, you
want to get too close.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
It's like some of the women. You're like, that's some
work done. You know.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
It's like a monet. Better from a distance rather than
up close.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Right, we call that a block or more. She looks
really hot from a block or more away. I like that.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I've not heard that one before. I always go money
because people think I know art. If I say that's
a monee, you just don't want to get too close.
And I know nothing about art. I just heard that
phrase and I just repeated, and that's just that's the
end of it. So I had to go pick up
my pass at Universal and to say there's a bit
of security over there. Then that would be an understatement? Man,
(14:36):
would that be an understatement? And you know it's unfortunate
because the writer's strike is going on. Where do you think, Danny,
the people are picketing for the writer's strike?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
What do you think? Right where? You needed to check in?
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Ding ding ding ding ding? Yeah, like and right there,
and the looks I was getting as I tried to
turn into the gate there at Universal. Yeah, oh my god,
I'm listening. I'm not This is a no, you know,
this is not part of the strike. I support you guys.
But I got I got bills to pay myself here. Yeah, yeah,
I know, right, So and I had to I had
(15:10):
to go get this pass.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I had to go to the security office and that
whole thing well the modern day, Vince Evans, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
So anyway, long story longer. My wife she wanted to go,
and she thought, well, we can take the car pool lane.
I got a long drive, so it'll be great.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
And I said, sure, no problem.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
So you can just stay in the car and I'll
go in and I'll get the pass and then we'll
drive back. And so we get to the gate at
Universal and the security guard was very nice and she said,
all right, where's your driver's license. I said, all right,
here it is, and so they had to copy it
and du little chest and they said, okay, you're on
the list. You can go pick up a past and
uh and is your is your wife on the list?
I said, well no, no, she's just going to stay
(15:52):
in the car. And he said, well, if she doesn't
have a pass. She cannot come on the lot physically
come on the lot, and so she had to get
out of the car and stand on the corner. I
walk down the street while I went to get the pass,
and on my way out, I.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Could pick her up. But she could not.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
She had to be on the sidewalk. She could not
come on Universal property.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
They at least have an extra sign for her to
hold so she could join the picket. I know she could.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
She could have walked around and got a little workout
in with a sign, you know, support your writers and
screw the studio and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
So we out right, So I had to kick.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
My wife out of the car. So get out of
the car. I gotta get this pass. Yeah, that was
that was interesting. Now backscratcher, Danny. We have gone the
entire month of August. This is now September. But we
want the entire month of August without getting any reviews.
This week, Danny, and we begged, we pleaded, we complained.
(16:56):
Did it work? Did our efforts work?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Danny? This week? Yes, I'm gonna say yeah that we
got at least one review. Well, Danny, you'll be happy
to know you're right. We got one that's good. That's
all one a week. Oh it takes. Yeah, that's all
we need is one a week and we'll get over
fifty a year. That would be great.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
So this week, and it actually did technically come in
Danny before the end of August, so therefore we did
not get shut out in the month of August. Now
we're getting shut out in the month of September. So
now we need help on backscratcher here in the month
of September.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
So if you're new to the podcast, this is where
we're like, lance Lynn, let's all of a sudden open
the floodgates.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah, that's a spicy meatball there. You go right down
there and throw a beach ball up there. See how
far they can hit it.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
So we technically don't care about the Apple podcast page.
If it was just us, we wouldn't give a crap.
But the people that we work for, Danny have different
opinions of that Apple podcast page.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Right, Apple doesn't pay us a damn penny. No, we
don't care.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Yeah, but it turns out people in management that have
corner offices, they look at the downloads, but they also
look at the reviews, and they want to see those
continuing to go up. Otherwise they get a little concerned, like,
your show's growing stale, and we don't want that. We
nobody wants stale. Nobody eats stale bread. So what are
(18:36):
we doing? Because it gets all moldy. So this week
we did get one.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
And the name on this I don't see a name here.
It says it was.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Hospitality was the name that was used at the top.
That's not I don't think the person was named hospitality.
The review five stars.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
That's the handle they made for themselves.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Though, hospitality with two s's. The message reads, I've lived
my whole life with the mindset that I never give
a perfect review on anything. Nothing, nothing is perfect. I've
taught my wife of ten years. Hey, I've been married
ten years too, how about that? Anyway, says I've taught
my wife of ten years.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
This and our two amazing daughters.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
All that being said, big Ben Maler and Danny g
have made me question everything I've ever known in life.
I can't give this incredible, entertaining and informative podcast anything
less than five stars. It would be crimple, would be criminal,
he says. Post continues. As I type this, my wife
(19:41):
is packing her things and taking the kids since they
don't know who I even am anymore. Oh, I'll tell
you who I am. I'm a simple man that likes
a great podcast. When you have who needs a wonderful family,
When you have a five star podcast the fifth hour,
this show is worth the child support and the alimony payments.
(20:04):
Five stars. Well, that's a very nice review, Danny. This
guy's willing to give up his family, his daughters and
his wife for the podcast, and that's something that we're
both not willing to do.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Would that be accurate, Danny? Well, he has something in
common with me. There's been weekends where I was supposed
to not be working, but instead I was doing post
production on this very podcast and my wife he said,
no matter how hard you work on that, you can't
make it perfect. Wrong. Oh yeah, we'll look at that.
(20:36):
Reve I'm going to have her read that review because
I disagree just like he does.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
See, I'm the same way, Dan. Wouldn't our lives be easier?
We both know people that work in this business that
are not perfections, that just do their thing and it's
good enough. And my life would be so much easier
if I didn't have the mindset I had.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
And I was more like that. Ah, whatever happens.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
You screw up a segment, you know, you mess that
up and a quarter hour goes out the window.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
You just washed it away. Especially with audio, it surprises
me how many damn podcasts sound distorted and just slap together,
and commercials interrupt in the middle of words and sentences.
It's just like people don't give a shit, and I
question their professionalism. If you are gonna put some audio
(21:32):
out there for the world to hear, you better put
some damn spirit into it.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Yeah, I'm there, I'm there, and yeah, I've pointed this
out many times. The most valuable thing we have as
human beings, the most valuable thing It ain't money, you know,
some would say your health, But for me, it's time
because we don't know how much we have and we
don't know when it's gonna all end here, and there's
(21:58):
a finite amount of time. If someone's willing to give
up some of their time and listen to some bull
crap that you're putting out, you might as well make
it really good, right otherwise, like what are we doing here?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
You know?
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Come on, this is a this is a big thing.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
One of my very first program directors told us in
a staff meeting, you all better come to work every
day as if you're already making Howard Stern money. You know,
we're still chasing that money. But we put in the
Howard Stern effort.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Old Howard, Yeah, when he was good, really, man was
he He was great. When his fastball was buzzing. He
had that back door slider, he at the curve ball,
the knuckleball, he had everything. But it really is Danny
that that John Wooden, that famous John Wooden quote, make
every day your masterpiece, right, the famous line from Wooden,
(22:50):
the old UCLA coach, the Wizard of Westwood, who we
learned on this podcast from T. J. Seimer's John Wooden
hated being called the Wizard of way A Westwood could
not standard, which I thought is hilarious because that was
what everyone said when they enters John wood the Wizard
of west Wood when he was coaching at UCLA, and
after that, obviously he left. Let's get to the word
(23:12):
of the week, Danny.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
The word of the week. The word of the week.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
The word of the week is something that many of
us have from time to time. I've had that worried
about the TV show and how that's going to do,
and launching a new project, which is not really a
new project because I've done Benny versus Depending with you.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I did it with guests, Scott and all.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
These people over the years, but this is on TV,
so it's a little different. And so I've had the
word is nightmare. I've had nightmares about what could possibly
go wrong, and so I'm trying to avoid.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
All those things. But the word nightmare goes back to
the thirteen hundreds. Think about that.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
That word has been around for a really long time.
Thirteen hundred, an evil early thirteen hundreds, and it means
an evil female spirit afflicting men or horses in their
sleep with a feeling of suffocation. It's a compound word
(24:18):
from night obviously, and mayor mayor is the term for
an evil female spirit affecting men or horses, a goblin
that causes nightmares. The meaning shifted in the mid sixteen
hundreds from the suffolk to the suffocating sensation. It causes
(24:40):
a sense of any bad dream recorded by the eighteen hundred,
so the word has changed a little bit the way
it's been perceived. And in eighteen thirty one, right around
eighteen thirty one. It became very distressing experience, became an nightmare.
(25:01):
So the word of the week going all the way back.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Here we are in the year twenty twenty three, and
you can go all the way back to thirteen hundred,
and that is the beginning the origins of nightmare.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
You want to do pop culture. Pop goes to the culture.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Now, you want to.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Save that for the Sunday podcast. Dandy, you're the big
muckety muck producer guy, the microphone throttler.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Let's flip a coin. The penny seems to be the
hot commodity these days, that's what I hear. Let me see,
I'll get a penny out digging around in the desk.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
There we go, let's get the penn. This is big,
this is massive. Here big jail.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Now, heads, we should do it, tails, we should save it.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Yeah, yeah, let's do it. Let's do it that way. Yuh,
here we go. Tails. Oh that means we should save
it right before. Okay, bag on Sunday. All right, so
we'll get some other stories too, because there's other stuff
that's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
So we'll happen. There's one quick thing too. I wanted
to share with you about baby G.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Oh yeah, what's that? I asked you, what's going on
with baby G? You know, I give me I need
a baby story.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
What do we got? Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna send
it to you in a text right now. Now. You
don't have a coffee or a croissant or anything like
that going on this morning.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Right, No, No, I would definitely not have coffee.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Now.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
A croissant, a good flaky croissant.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
That's right. You've never drank coffee, but I know you've
eaten croissants. Yeah. Oh I've eaten boxes of croissants. Oh
my god. So yeah, this will make you put your
croissant away. So I'm gonna text it to you right now.
Ryant Graudio had his very first blowout.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Oh yeah, oh boy.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
It was a proud moment. I was working, I was
inside the studios and my phone is buzzing, and I'm thinking, well,
this has got to be an emergency, because you know
it's it's my chick at home. Yeah, and I look
and it's a text showing as onesie just decimated.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Yeah, you send me the phone. This is a nice
looking onesie with the draft, and then the draft has
turned a brownish color.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
It looks like the giraffe had diarrhea.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Yeah, there's like a you know what it looks like.
It looks like the draft is walking through a really
smoggy part of law.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Now, all parents are going to laugh at this because
they've all had it happen multiple times when their baby
was a newborn. How in the world does the ship
go up the sides of the ones down the leg mustache? Fine,
and it's disgusting. And I hope that we don't have
a second blowout.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Well, you're in the sweet spot for the blowout, Danny,
from what I understand, So.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
You're you're going to be in blowout.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Territory for a good amount of time.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
What be prepared.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
You're just getting started with the blowout situation there. I
liked that you took the photo Baby's first.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Blowout here it is with the framer. That is good, baby.
Ge you got anything going on?
Speaker 3 (28:35):
It's Saturday, Danny, you got another podcast tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
We've got that going on.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Anything else going on you want to share with the class.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
I've been working on the patio at our place. Yeah,
cleaned it off and ordered an outdoor rug and like
a rocking chair for the chick so she can have
a little sun times some vitamin D with the little one.
The only bad part is I have to put the
rocking chair together. Yeah, that's tough. Yeah, I got my
(29:05):
toolbox ready to go. I don't know if that's good
or bad. But the toolbox is sitting there on the
patio nice. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Well, anytime I have to build something, it's like, oh crap.
You know, it's I don't.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Have that gene.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
I don't have that skill, and so I can do it,
but I don't know how good it's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Yeah. I don't have the patience for the paper instructions.
I always wind up just looking at how somebody else
did it on YouTube. Yeah. Well that's usually how the
wife operates.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
She's like, Okay, here's what I'm gonna do, you know,
just and she's like, I'll just do it. She didn't
even pay attention off she she will We've built stuff
over the years and she won't even open the instructions.
And I'm the other way. I'm like, well, you know,
I kind of want to follow you. I wanted to
work right. It's easy, you know, we're adults. We can
figure that out. Not that big a deal. I'm not
(29:55):
a numbers guy, but that doesn't seem to add up.
Great rest of your Saturday. Good luck with the rocking chair, Danny.
That's great too, because not only will it work for
the baby, but when you get really old and the
baby's all grown up, you can be the one in
the rocking chair and.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
The you know, you know what I'm saying, So it's perfect.
It's got two cushions, and it's an outdoor rocking chair,
kind of like what you'd see by a pool, so
it's not like an old person's rocking chair at least.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Oh okay, you got that, and you know.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
It's perfect weather or not.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
So it's only gonn be one hundred and seventy next
week burning, so you're you're good to go on that
wonderful You have a great Saturday. We will be back
with not only the mail bag but also Pop Goes
the Culture.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
That'll be on Sunday. We will catch you then later.
Skater gotta murder. I gotta go
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 soul fashion of fairness. He
treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
rich pill poppers in the penthouse.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.
The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
In the a.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Everywhere, The Fifth Hour with Ben Maler and Danny G
Radio because four hours a night are not enough on
the Overnight show. And of course Danny's got his own
battles every day with.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Covino and Rich.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
But you hear me on the Ben Mallor Show and
Danny G Radio hanging out. I do want to thank
Tom Looney who was on am I on yesterday a
big Friday podcast, as we welcomed in a new chapter
in my career. But did Danny what you been up to? Man?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
How's the baby doing well? First of all, that was
some fun post production because I inserted like three or
four of the famous Tom Looney name drops.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Got Tom Looney he demanded that or else he said
he wouldn't do the podcast. He said, you know, we
need I need my marketing, and you of course coming
through to help out the Looney brand.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah, I know. He was a smiling air to air
as he listened back to that several times. Because he
loves himself. I like latinos too. Tom loves himself some Tom,
just like Ricky Henderson.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yes, Yes, the biggest fan of Tom Looney is Tom Looney.
The second biggest fan of Tom Looney is Tom Looney.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Correct. I'm glad that his coin days from back in
the day have finally paid off to give him some
more FaceTime on TV.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Yes, it's just what he needs. And it's funny. We
were talking the other night on the radio show when
I made the announcement on the Friday show, I was
talking about how we were discussing wardrobe and there's a
certain thing they want you to wear and whatnot, so
we're going over all that, and of course I was like, well,
let me wear as many clothes as I possibly can.
(02:21):
And Tom's the complete opposite. You know, he wants to
show off everything and I want to show off nothing.
That's what I want.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
The complete He's got a gun show and you have
a ticket to an Amish Paradise.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yes, Amish Burka whatever, moo, moo, I don't know whatever
you want there. Anyway, We've got Hurting Hot Takes to
blowout darkness, retreat and back scratch it also get out
of the car, a never before told story that we
will discuss, and the word of the week, and may
(02:56):
even have pop culture. We have a lot to get to,
but the start we'll begin with this. Both myself and
Danny g have entered rarefied air in the sports radio game,
and oh what a game it is. As we both
were called in out of the bullpen. I got to
(03:16):
call on.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Monday. I believe it was Monday.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
It all runs together, but I gotta call on Mondays, Hey,
what do you think about stepping into the big chair?
And I said, I don't know, I don't know. I said, okay,
but yeah, Colin Cowherd was away on vacation and so
a bunch of us got to fill in, and I
(03:41):
did the show on Wednesday, Hurting Hot Takes with the
great Rab Parker warning, hot takes could send you to
the burn unit. The hot that takes for that hot,
that hot, and you might burn your tongue.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
That takes for that hot.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Anyways, it's a lot of fun. The Cowherd Show. I
don't know if it's the biggest sports radio show today.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I'm not sure about all that.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
But it's pretty big, and I know there's always been
more people listening on the radio than watching on the TV.
With that show, there's a huge reach and all that.
So it was fun to be on there with Rob.
We had a good time. We didn't do any guests
and walking around one of the other floors at the
Premiere Networks building, which I had not been on Danny
(04:29):
that floor in probably a year and a half at least,
if not longer than that. I'm trying to think the
last time I was on the floor where the Cowherd
studio just radio only was and I noticed, I don't
know if you noticed that, Danny, I had a weird
twilight zone like Malmate where I walked around normally. I
(04:51):
had the whole map in my head on that floor
and I turned the corner and there was a wall
there that should not have been there. Yeah, they just
put a wall up right in the middle where there
was a hallway. They just this is no longer a hallway.
It is now a wall and not just a temporary wall. No, no, no,
(05:12):
this was a wall with dry wall and just look
like that was part of the building. Pretty crazy, huh.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I think Rush Limbaugh's remains are in the side of
the building that they boarded up.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Yeah, there's there's one of those one of those things
where you put them in the ground for like twenty
years or one hundred years, one hundred years and then
you to them.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, well no, not to do.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
But it's a what's the thing you know they put
like artifacts in a box and then you open it up.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
One hundred years old time capsule.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Yeah, time caps There's a Premier Network's time capsule in there,
and there's like old headphones from Casey Kasem. There's some
kind of bag that doctor Laura left when she left
the building. And Matt Drudge I think has an old
laptop in there. Like some of the legends of the
(06:02):
Premiere Networks. Rick dz likely left an old piece of
his equipment, the radio equipment that he used to use,
that old school nineteen seventies style radio equipment. So it's
all on that time capsule in the wall. But that
was a lot of fun, Danny. I had a good
time I'm sure you had a good time. At the
(06:23):
end of the week they're doing that, and it was
a lot different for me though, because of my schedule,
and when I met with the Coward people and they're like, well,
you know, here's what Colin does and here's you know this,
and I said, well, I have nothing against Colin, but
I have not heard the show.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I'm sleeping. I am.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Never I've not heard the Colin Cowhard show. I can't.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I can't.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
I'm sure I probably have heard it at some point
because I've had to be awake at that hour, but
normally I'm sleeping, and so Colin's like doing the overnight
show for me on my schedule, So being up and
taking part in that it was it was different. And
then I had to come back and do the overnight show.
And on top of that, Danny a terrible sleeper. So
(07:07):
I was planning. I was like, in my head, I'm
gonna go home, I'm gonna lay down, I'll get four
hours of sleep, I'll be good to go for the
overnight show. And I laid down and my mind kept
going and going and going and going, and I was
thinking about what I had to do next, and I
was thinking about the TV stuff and what was going
(07:28):
on with that, and I.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Needed to do something.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
And anyway, by the time it all got done, I
think I maybe got about thirty minutes of shut eye maybe,
and I just got back up.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I am the definition of a loser. Damn you. You're
right when you said rarefied air. There were three shows
I listened to as a fan of sports talk back
in the day when I was just a little g
and that was the original Dan Patrick Show on ESPN Radio,
(08:01):
and then Colin Cowherd his original show on ESPN Radio
when he was broadcasting out of the East Coast. And
then The Blitz. This is the Blitz with Ben Maller
and Tom Looney. Yeah, you know, I've now been on
two of those three shows now, wow. Yeah, the only
(08:24):
one missing is the Blitz.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Well, and if you go on the Blitz, now, that
would be impressive. That would be impressive if you were
you were on the Blitz. But it's funny because I've
been working with Looney again. Obviously, we had him on
the podcast yesterday and we kind of, you know, kind
of after a couple of demos shows that we did,
we kind of got a little bit of the magic
(08:47):
back Danny that we used to have when we did
the Blitz back in the day, and people like that,
look at that.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Maybe our boss will think about some future Blitz action
on the network.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Oh no, the Blitz has been off the air for
a long time.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
It's bendy, it's trendy to bring the classics back.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
What's old is new again, right, exactly like the records.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
The one thing I wanted to comment on about the
Herd though, as amazing of an experience that was to
work on his show, we didn't get to go to
the TV lot, and as Covino said on the air,
he thought he was going to get to be on
TV and have hair and makeup done and like a
catered setup when he arrived. Instead, it was bad office
(09:33):
coffee and a broom closet that they use a couple
times a year for radio only. And let's just say,
some things in that little studio are scotch taped together
because they don't use it often enough to upkeep that
little studio.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Yes, and that studio. Here's a fun fact the history
of the Premiere Networks. That was the jungle that used
to be the Uncle. Oh back in the day, that
is where Jim Rome did his radio show back in
his heyday, when Rome was the king of sports radio.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
My paws. That was that little cubby hole.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
That was where Rome hit out and did did his
show and been nomenal. He's moved on, he's been at
CBS for a while doing his thing in other places,
and so that studio had had remained, and so that's
what became of that. So that's that's the old Jim
(10:36):
Rome studio.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Who knows crazy, no wonder. When I walked in there,
I had this it was, I don't know, it was
like a mystique. It was I had this feeling of
I wanted to go to a hotel gym and do
cardio for two hours.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
When I went in there, I wanted to grab a
vine is what I wanted to do, and just like Tarzan,
just go around and play some hard rock from back
in the day, some classic hard rock anyway, lock them yeah, rackab,
a huge call of the day, the smack off, all
the classic radio bits from million years ago. And I
(11:16):
actually did the last Jim Rome show for the Premiere Networks,
What are You Doing. Jim had agreed to a deal
to leave the company, but they still had to carry
the show for a certain number of days, and so
me and the former Raider Lincoln Kennedy, we did a
show together in that studio. We had like the Jim
(11:37):
Rome Show and that even though Jim it's long gone,
long gone, go away, you're a pig.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
It was cool.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
It's fun doing the Coward Show. And I agree with
Covido and Rich it would have been better if there
had been craft services and yeah, right, lights and we
had a camera on us though. Man, we had Elijah
are one of our Internet guys. He had two cameras
set up, one on Rob, one on me, and recording
(12:08):
stuff for the Internet.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Oh. We were squished in there like sardines, just like
you guys were. So by the end of the show, man,
I felt like Patrick Ewing. I was drinking what.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Yeah, we were worried someone was gonna get pregnant.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
It was that close.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
You know, you don't know, but I think the genetics
would not have allowed that to happen.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
But he's getting pregnant this morning.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Yeah. Yeah, So I had a darkness retreat. If you
had another luncheon with the this time, I popped randomly up.
I try to find reasons to go to Tito's Tacos
Dandy because I love spending seven dollars on a taco.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I think that's the I don't think it's quite seven dollars,
but it's close. So that's my favorite taco place.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I've been going there.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
I've talked about them a lot. They should buy a spot.
It's so good you'll get two. But I so I
met my buddy Lee over there. We had a little
luncheon and then I went to the Dodger game. But
I consider it like a Darkness retreat because Lee is
the original prince of Darkness and radio. And so it
was a lot of a lot of the same old
(13:15):
stories and all that. Now as far as one other point,
and this, this is actually pretty funny.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
You'll get a kick out of this, Danny.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
So I had to pick up my past. Now that
I'm going to be doing the TV show every week,
I needed a pass. Now we're gonna do the TV
show out of the famous Universal Studios. Oh cool in
l A and so right off Lancasham there.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
But just who's designing your set? Bill?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
No, I don't, I don't mean you'll see you'll see
you'll be. It's the magic of TV. It looks better
than it is. But much like La, everything looks you know,
on the outside, its beautifully Get closer, you know, you
want to get too close.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
It's like some of the women. You're like, that's some
work done. You know.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
It's like a monet. Better from a distance rather than
up close.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Right, we call that a block or more. She looks
really hot from a block or more away. I like that.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I've not heard that one before. I always go money
because people think I know art. If I say that's
a monee, you just don't want to get too close.
And I know nothing about art. I just heard that
phrase and I just repeated, and that's just that's the
end of it. So I had to go pick up
my pass at Universal and to say there's a bit
of security over there. Then that would be an understatement? Man,
(14:36):
would that be an understatement? And you know it's unfortunate
because the writer's strike is going on. Where do you think, Danny,
the people are picketing for the writer's strike?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
What do you think? Right where? You needed to check in?
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Ding ding ding ding ding? Yeah, like and right there,
and the looks I was getting as I tried to
turn into the gate there at Universal. Yeah, oh my god,
I'm listening. I'm not This is a no, you know,
this is not part of the strike. I support you guys.
But I got I got bills to pay myself here. Yeah, yeah,
I know, right, So and I had to I had
(15:10):
to go get this pass.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I had to go to the security office and that
whole thing well the modern day, Vince Evans, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
So anyway, long story longer. My wife she wanted to go,
and she thought, well, we can take the car pool lane.
I got a long drive, so it'll be great.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
And I said, sure, no problem.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
So you can just stay in the car and I'll
go in and I'll get the pass and then we'll
drive back. And so we get to the gate at
Universal and the security guard was very nice and she said,
all right, where's your driver's license. I said, all right,
here it is, and so they had to copy it
and du little chest and they said, okay, you're on
the list. You can go pick up a past and
uh and is your is your wife on the list?
I said, well no, no, she's just going to stay
(15:52):
in the car. And he said, well, if she doesn't
have a pass. She cannot come on the lot physically
come on the lot, and so she had to get
out of the car and stand on the corner. I
walk down the street while I went to get the pass,
and on my way out, I.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Could pick her up. But she could not.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
She had to be on the sidewalk. She could not
come on Universal property.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
They at least have an extra sign for her to
hold so she could join the picket. I know she could.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
She could have walked around and got a little workout
in with a sign, you know, support your writers and
screw the studio and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
So we out right, So I had to kick.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
My wife out of the car. So get out of
the car. I gotta get this pass. Yeah, that was
that was interesting. Now backscratcher, Danny. We have gone the
entire month of August. This is now September. But we
want the entire month of August without getting any reviews.
This week, Danny, and we begged, we pleaded, we complained.
(16:56):
Did it work? Did our efforts work?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Danny? This week? Yes, I'm gonna say yeah that we
got at least one review. Well, Danny, you'll be happy
to know you're right. We got one that's good. That's
all one a week. Oh it takes. Yeah, that's all
we need is one a week and we'll get over
fifty a year. That would be great.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
So this week, and it actually did technically come in
Danny before the end of August, so therefore we did
not get shut out in the month of August. Now
we're getting shut out in the month of September. So
now we need help on backscratcher here in the month
of September.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
So if you're new to the podcast, this is where
we're like, lance Lynn, let's all of a sudden open
the floodgates.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah, that's a spicy meatball there. You go right down
there and throw a beach ball up there. See how
far they can hit it.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
So we technically don't care about the Apple podcast page.
If it was just us, we wouldn't give a crap.
But the people that we work for, Danny have different
opinions of that Apple podcast page.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Right, Apple doesn't pay us a damn penny. No, we
don't care.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Yeah, but it turns out people in management that have
corner offices, they look at the downloads, but they also
look at the reviews, and they want to see those
continuing to go up. Otherwise they get a little concerned, like,
your show's growing stale, and we don't want that. We
nobody wants stale. Nobody eats stale bread. So what are
(18:36):
we doing? Because it gets all moldy. So this week
we did get one.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
And the name on this I don't see a name here.
It says it was.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Hospitality was the name that was used at the top.
That's not I don't think the person was named hospitality.
The review five stars.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
That's the handle they made for themselves.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Though, hospitality with two s's. The message reads, I've lived
my whole life with the mindset that I never give
a perfect review on anything. Nothing, nothing is perfect. I've
taught my wife of ten years. Hey, I've been married
ten years too, how about that? Anyway, says I've taught
my wife of ten years.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
This and our two amazing daughters.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
All that being said, big Ben Maler and Danny g
have made me question everything I've ever known in life.
I can't give this incredible, entertaining and informative podcast anything
less than five stars. It would be crimple, would be criminal,
he says. Post continues. As I type this, my wife
(19:41):
is packing her things and taking the kids since they
don't know who I even am anymore. Oh, I'll tell
you who I am. I'm a simple man that likes
a great podcast. When you have who needs a wonderful family,
When you have a five star podcast the fifth hour,
this show is worth the child support and the alimony payments.
(20:04):
Five stars. Well, that's a very nice review, Danny. This
guy's willing to give up his family, his daughters and
his wife for the podcast, and that's something that we're
both not willing to do.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Would that be accurate, Danny? Well, he has something in
common with me. There's been weekends where I was supposed
to not be working, but instead I was doing post
production on this very podcast and my wife he said,
no matter how hard you work on that, you can't
make it perfect. Wrong. Oh yeah, we'll look at that.
(20:36):
Reve I'm going to have her read that review because
I disagree just like he does.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
See, I'm the same way, Dan. Wouldn't our lives be easier?
We both know people that work in this business that
are not perfections, that just do their thing and it's
good enough. And my life would be so much easier
if I didn't have the mindset I had.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
And I was more like that. Ah, whatever happens.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
You screw up a segment, you know, you mess that
up and a quarter hour goes out the window.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
You just washed it away. Especially with audio, it surprises
me how many damn podcasts sound distorted and just slap together,
and commercials interrupt in the middle of words and sentences.
It's just like people don't give a shit, and I
question their professionalism. If you are gonna put some audio
(21:32):
out there for the world to hear, you better put
some damn spirit into it.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Yeah, I'm there, I'm there, and yeah, I've pointed this
out many times. The most valuable thing we have as
human beings, the most valuable thing It ain't money, you know,
some would say your health, But for me, it's time
because we don't know how much we have and we
don't know when it's gonna all end here, and there's
(21:58):
a finite amount of time. If someone's willing to give
up some of their time and listen to some bull
crap that you're putting out, you might as well make
it really good, right otherwise, like what are we doing here?
Speaker 1 (22:10):
You know?
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Come on, this is a this is a big thing.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
One of my very first program directors told us in
a staff meeting, you all better come to work every
day as if you're already making Howard Stern money. You know,
we're still chasing that money. But we put in the
Howard Stern effort.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Old Howard, Yeah, when he was good, really, man was
he He was great. When his fastball was buzzing. He
had that back door slider, he at the curve ball,
the knuckleball, he had everything. But it really is Danny
that that John Wooden, that famous John Wooden quote, make
every day your masterpiece, right, the famous line from Wooden,
(22:50):
the old UCLA coach, the Wizard of Westwood, who we
learned on this podcast from T. J. Seimer's John Wooden
hated being called the Wizard of way A Westwood could
not standard, which I thought is hilarious because that was
what everyone said when they enters John wood the Wizard
of west Wood when he was coaching at UCLA, and
after that, obviously he left. Let's get to the word
(23:12):
of the week, Danny.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
The word of the week. The word of the week.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
The word of the week is something that many of
us have from time to time. I've had that worried
about the TV show and how that's going to do,
and launching a new project, which is not really a
new project because I've done Benny versus Depending with you.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I did it with guests, Scott and all.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
These people over the years, but this is on TV,
so it's a little different. And so I've had the
word is nightmare. I've had nightmares about what could possibly
go wrong, and so I'm trying to avoid.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
All those things. But the word nightmare goes back to
the thirteen hundreds. Think about that.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
That word has been around for a really long time.
Thirteen hundred, an evil early thirteen hundreds, and it means
an evil female spirit afflicting men or horses in their
sleep with a feeling of suffocation. It's a compound word
(24:18):
from night obviously, and mayor mayor is the term for
an evil female spirit affecting men or horses, a goblin
that causes nightmares. The meaning shifted in the mid sixteen
hundreds from the suffolk to the suffocating sensation. It causes
(24:40):
a sense of any bad dream recorded by the eighteen hundred,
so the word has changed a little bit the way
it's been perceived. And in eighteen thirty one, right around
eighteen thirty one. It became very distressing experience, became an nightmare.
(25:01):
So the word of the week going all the way back.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Here we are in the year twenty twenty three, and
you can go all the way back to thirteen hundred,
and that is the beginning the origins of nightmare.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
You want to do pop culture. Pop goes to the culture.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Now, you want to.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Save that for the Sunday podcast. Dandy, you're the big
muckety muck producer guy, the microphone throttler.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Let's flip a coin. The penny seems to be the
hot commodity these days, that's what I hear. Let me see,
I'll get a penny out digging around in the desk.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
There we go, let's get the penn. This is big,
this is massive. Here big jail.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Now, heads, we should do it, tails, we should save it.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Yeah, yeah, let's do it. Let's do it that way. Yuh,
here we go. Tails. Oh that means we should save
it right before. Okay, bag on Sunday. All right, so
we'll get some other stories too, because there's other stuff
that's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
So we'll happen. There's one quick thing too. I wanted
to share with you about baby G.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Oh yeah, what's that? I asked you, what's going on
with baby G? You know, I give me I need
a baby story.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
What do we got? Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna send
it to you in a text right now. Now. You
don't have a coffee or a croissant or anything like
that going on this morning.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Right, No, No, I would definitely not have coffee.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Now.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
A croissant, a good flaky croissant.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
That's right. You've never drank coffee, but I know you've
eaten croissants. Yeah. Oh I've eaten boxes of croissants. Oh
my god. So yeah, this will make you put your
croissant away. So I'm gonna text it to you right now.
Ryant Graudio had his very first blowout.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Oh yeah, oh boy.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
It was a proud moment. I was working, I was
inside the studios and my phone is buzzing, and I'm thinking, well,
this has got to be an emergency, because you know
it's it's my chick at home. Yeah, and I look
and it's a text showing as onesie just decimated.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Yeah, you send me the phone. This is a nice
looking onesie with the draft, and then the draft has
turned a brownish color.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
It looks like the giraffe had diarrhea.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Yeah, there's like a you know what it looks like.
It looks like the draft is walking through a really
smoggy part of law.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Now, all parents are going to laugh at this because
they've all had it happen multiple times when their baby
was a newborn. How in the world does the ship
go up the sides of the ones down the leg mustache? Fine,
and it's disgusting. And I hope that we don't have
a second blowout.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Well, you're in the sweet spot for the blowout, Danny,
from what I understand, So.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
You're you're going to be in blowout.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Territory for a good amount of time.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
What be prepared.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
You're just getting started with the blowout situation there. I
liked that you took the photo Baby's first.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Blowout here it is with the framer. That is good, baby.
Ge you got anything going on?
Speaker 3 (28:35):
It's Saturday, Danny, you got another podcast tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
We've got that going on.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Anything else going on you want to share with the class.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
I've been working on the patio at our place. Yeah,
cleaned it off and ordered an outdoor rug and like
a rocking chair for the chick so she can have
a little sun times some vitamin D with the little one.
The only bad part is I have to put the
rocking chair together. Yeah, that's tough. Yeah, I got my
(29:05):
toolbox ready to go. I don't know if that's good
or bad. But the toolbox is sitting there on the
patio nice. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Well, anytime I have to build something, it's like, oh crap.
You know, it's I don't.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Have that gene.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
I don't have that skill, and so I can do it,
but I don't know how good it's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Yeah. I don't have the patience for the paper instructions.
I always wind up just looking at how somebody else
did it on YouTube. Yeah. Well that's usually how the
wife operates.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
She's like, Okay, here's what I'm gonna do, you know,
just and she's like, I'll just do it. She didn't
even pay attention off she she will We've built stuff
over the years and she won't even open the instructions.
And I'm the other way. I'm like, well, you know,
I kind of want to follow you. I wanted to
work right. It's easy, you know, we're adults. We can
figure that out. Not that big a deal. I'm not
(29:55):
a numbers guy, but that doesn't seem to add up.
Great rest of your Saturday. Good luck with the rocking chair, Danny.
That's great too, because not only will it work for
the baby, but when you get really old and the
baby's all grown up, you can be the one in
the rocking chair and.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
The you know, you know what I'm saying, So it's perfect.
It's got two cushions, and it's an outdoor rocking chair,
kind of like what you'd see by a pool, so
it's not like an old person's rocking chair at least.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Oh okay, you got that, and you know.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
It's perfect weather or not.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
So it's only gonn be one hundred and seventy next
week burning, so you're you're good to go on that
wonderful You have a great Saturday. We will be back
with not only the mail bag but also Pop Goes
the Culture.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
That'll be on Sunday. We will catch you then later.
