Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ka Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes
a week was enough, I think again. He's the last
remnants of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness.
He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as
the rich pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House
of Hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth
(00:23):
Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere.
Welcome into a brand new edition Hot out of the Oven,
The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny g Radio.
Because clearly five nights a week on the Overnight not enough,
(00:47):
five day slash nights with Danny ge on with Covino
and Rich not enough. So a spinoff of the Overnight Show.
And we are excited to be back in the podcast,
do Joe Danny as it is the Saturday Podcast, which
is all about us, the show about nothing, the Saturday Podcast.
(01:08):
You're even a guest on the Coveno and Rich Show
this past week. Yeah, we will, we might. We might
or might not get into that at some point here.
We might or might not get into that at some point,
But I'm excited for it. You've got a lot of
stuff going on you might think, boy, you guys have
nothing going on. You just you're a bunch of gas bags.
There's nothing. No, no, no, no no, we're able to
grind out podcast, right, Danny. And the key to this,
(01:31):
and I've noticed this over the years doing radio. I mean,
you're you're a radio pro to, right. The key is
just kind of keeping track of stuff that happens. There's
always a lot of stuff that happens in your life,
but a lot of people don't keep track of it, right.
You don't really take notes on what's going on and
all that. And I've talked to a few comedians over
the years and they that's what comedy. A lot of
(01:52):
observational comedy is just remembering things that happened in your
day to day existence, a lot of mental notes, taking
some notes, some real notes, and also are kind of
day to day changes a little bit based on topics
and headlines. And that's different from a lot of other
people's jobs where they have a routine and it's the
(02:13):
same kind of work every day. Yeah, that is one
of the cool things about doing the daily radio show.
People say, well, do you can you talk about sports?
You've been doing that for twenty years, and well, every
day is different. And I'm talking about guys now. When
I you know, I started, I was talking about Vladimir Guerrero.
Now I'm talking about his kid, you know, with the
Blue Jays or that that kind of thing. So it's
it's like it, but it changes. You don't get bogged down.
(02:36):
You also have the seasons. We're in the we're in
the sweet spot right now of our schedule football season,
which is great. But then you have to you have
to figure out a way to put a professional show
on when there's not much going on, when it's June
and there's there's just not a lot ringing in the
ears and all that. Will you have been on the
radio long enough to cover Vladimir the third? Oh god,
(02:58):
no God. All right, So I've got jaw dropping, We've
got ask your parents, text landed, it's pizza time and
backscratcher and we'll get to all that. So I don't
want to bring this podcast down, Danny, but I wanted
to get this off my chest. It's been bothering me.
It really shook me up the last week here. I
(03:21):
did not talk about it on the radio show. I
thought this would be the better form to talk about it. So,
as you know, this weekend tonight, in fact, the big night,
it's the Halloween party. Oh uh, and I don't know
what your best spooky sound effect? Bad is your owl? Wait?
(03:47):
Wait wait wait wait wait, well you do not like
my scary, my scariness? How there you, Danny? Well let's
see what you got. Come on over there, see what
you got? All right? Well you got a deeper voice
in all right, Okay, this is that I don't have
the deep tipes like that. I can't do it a
story in post production. When you do your spooky sound,
(04:09):
I'll put in your owl sound effect. Okay, I'm a
mean owl. My name is Ben Mallor and I'm a
mean owl, not a mino so be. I'm a mean owl.
All right, So Saturday tonight the big Halloween party. Now
we will have in depth team coverage next weekend on
(04:31):
the Saturday podcast. Is that correct? And we will take notes.
We will take pictures. Well, who got the drunkest, who
is doing things they shouldn't do in the backyard. We'll
talk about all that. I become a thirteen year old
girl breaking news next week. Marcel will tweet it out exactly.
But I wanted to share this story with you because
I I want to see if this has ever happened
(04:52):
to you. It's it's happened to me before, but hasn't
happened a long time. And I was kind of scrambling.
I invited some people. I forgot who I invited. There
were a bunch of people that I didn't invite that
I wanted to invite, and so I f this up
the Halloween Park. Uh, and it's it's not as big
as the Christmas ugly sweater Hanukah party that we do
(05:15):
every year up until the last couple of years, but
it's still there's there's still gonna be a good amount
of people that are there, right, And so we have
not had one of these shin digs since December of
twenty nineteen because of the pandemic that we all lived
through thanks to COVID, all the parties were canceled for
(05:37):
two years. So I was going through my mental roller
decks right in my head. I was going through and
I was like, all right, I was trying to remember
who to invite. I decided to stop inviting people who
never show up, because what's the point. I mean, I've
known this for years, and certain people just I'm not
gonna name names here, but there's certain people that just
don't show up. There was I'll be there and they
never show U. But I get it. Maybe they lived
too far away, they got stuff going on, so they're
(05:59):
off the list. I I thinned the herd. I got
rid of them. And also people who you know, just
just kind of aren't into it and all that. Maybe
they went one time and that was it. So I
was like, okay, you know, I'm good. So I was
making a few last minute invites and I messaged someone
I've known for a long time named James. James Allen
(06:21):
is his name, and that he was a caller how
far back when I was doing the Ben and Dave
Show in the nineties. This this cat James was one
of my callers and he became a radio producer, he
got into the business. And so I sent him a text.
Now I said, hey, Chicago guy, that was what he
(06:41):
was known as. We know, I knew him as the
Chicago Guy when he was a caller, Big guy. You
loved Sammy so so we used to This is back
in the late nineties when Sosa McGuire had the big
home run race, and that was the talk of sports radio,
and he'd call up and he'd talked about the the
end of the Chicago Bulls run and and Sosa and
all that was the topic of the day in sports
rading and and so anyway, I texted him, I said, hey,
(07:07):
Chicago got and I got this response, who is this?
And so that seemed odd to me. So I wrote back,
I said, hey, it's it's it's been you know, and uh.
And then the number text back and said you have
the wrong numb So my first thought was, oh, man,
this must be kind of a gag, you know, maybe
he's busting my chops and so so then I I thought, well,
(07:27):
maybe he changed his number. And you know, it's been
a couple of years. We haven't had a party in
a couple of years. And so I I started doing
some due diligence here and I started snooping around and
I was absolutely stunned that my man, this is jaw dropping,
My man James had actually he passed away. Oh he's
(07:52):
a year younger than I am. And I don't know
how I didn't find this out. Um, I mean not
that it's not about me, it's about him. And I
feel terrible and all that, and I I would have
liked to have paid my respects, but there was I
found a go fund me and there were some vague details.
(08:14):
I guess he had a sudden illness. I don't think
it was COVID. I don't know what it was. Uh,
and he had passed away. It's just terribly as four daughters,
young daughters married. His wife actually came to the to
the last Halloween party we had, or the last Christmas party,
and so I just wanted to pay my respects to James.
He was a good man. Obviously, we weren't that close.
(08:35):
We talked once a year. That's one of these things
about the Christmas party that I was kind of catching
up with people that were important in my life at
some point that I don't see anymore because we don't
work together. And so it's it's really cool to invite
people that I kind of lose touch with that you
can still hang out with. And but I I really
liked hanging out with James. I hung out with him
a lot, actually, a Clipper games and Laker games. He
(08:55):
was always hustling and he had worked as your Lodge
as producer and for those who don't know. Roger Lodge
probably most famous for hosting Blind Date, but he ows
the local radio show in the l A market on
broadcast out of the stadium there, right, yeah, yeah, they
still have studios at the Big a Um, but the
(09:18):
Angels own a radio station and Roger Lodge does a show,
and my friend James was his producer. And I'm surprised
nobody like reached out. I don't know. Usually people love
to share bad news like this, like when somebody passes away.
It's a small fraternity radio. There's not that many of
us to do this nonsense. And so anyway, I just
(09:41):
I was really shooking up by it. I was like, man,
I could I stopped inviting people after that day. My
wife was giving me a hard time. I gotta keep
inviting people, I said, I'm afraid. I don't know who's dead.
I don't know who's alive, but I don't know. It
means like it was freaking me out. So I was
in this fog for a couple of days. But anyway,
it just that ever happened when you reached that somebody
(10:01):
hadn't talked to him while and then you get that
that's man, no, not personally. But I've noticed this before
on Facebook, because, as you know, a lot of families
keep their relatives pages up even after the person passes away,
and so you'll see on their birthday, you'll see messages
like happy Heavenly Birthday and things like that from family
(10:24):
members and friends, and they put memories on the page. Well,
I was on a Radio Buddies page last year on
his birthday, Rest in Peace, DJ Neons from up in
the Bay Area, and you know, I was just kind
of scrolling through his page and I was reading some
of the cool memories about him, and then I saw
(10:45):
one or two messages sprinkled in from knuckle heads who
had no idea he had passed away six years ago, saying, Hey, DJ,
can't wait to catch up with you. Man, we need
to go grab a bite. Oh yeah, that's terrible, man,
that's in the middle of memories. And so yeah, I've
(11:06):
seen that happen on Facebook where people just don't know, Um,
at least you didn't get on his Facebook page and
wish him a happy birthday and say, man, I can't
wait to see my next party. I was so it
was so bad, Like I have seen those messages on
Facebook and I get a lot of that. I'm almost
(11:27):
never on LinkedIn, Like I have a LinkedIn page, but
I'm never on there because I'm not really looking for
a job. I have enough work. Um you know usually
are on there were looking for work and all that.
So but I'm never on there. And I'll get messages
from people, Hey, happy work anniversary or something like that.
I'm like, what the you know, Like I don't even
know there's a work anniversaries, Like I guess I went
(11:49):
past twenty two years at Fox Sports Radio recently, so
they're like, happy you know anniversary, Like I don't even
I don't even know what you're talking about. But anyway,
So turning the page on that, I don't want to
be Debbie Downer and all that, but I just wanted
to pay my respects to James A. K the Chicago God,
and I wish I had a way to contact his wife.
(12:09):
I don't. I don't have any way. I don't have
her number or anything like that. But maybe somebody can
let her know who hears this and hopefully she can
reach out and uh and I can send my my
thoughts if she wants, and if not, it's all good.
Ask your parents on page two. Feel me. Yeah. So
I I've talked about it on this podcast already. How
(12:32):
I'm still working for the school district three mornings a
week to fit into the new Coveno and Rich schedule.
So I go into the school this past Tuesday morning,
and you know, it's a normal morning. The early kids
are showing up. I had about ten early arrivals in
my classroom, and this week then it was seventh and
(12:53):
eighth graders only because the sixth graders were all on
a field trip to Lake Arrowhead. Oh night, Yeah right,
So no pesky sixth graders, but the seventh and eighth graders.
I think they thought they were more mature now all
of a sudden, because there were no sixth graders around.
As I sit at my desk in my classroom, a
(13:15):
lot of the conversation you'll hear between the kids, it's
stuff they probably shouldn't be talking about. So from me,
what you'll hear a lot in the morning is, hey, guys,
change the subject, please, Uh can you talk about something different?
What kind of subjects are we talking about here? What
do we like? Like a lot of your mom jokes,
(13:37):
your mama jokes, Yeah, yeah, stuff just inappropriate stuff where
they're talking smack to each other and it'll start to
get heated, where one kid kind of starts out joking
about the other kids mom, and the other kid gets
offended and he digs in deeper, and so you just
headed off at the past. It's so it's so funny
because this reminds me of years ago in the nineties.
(14:00):
Terry Bradshaw hosted a radio show at at the place
I worked at, and Terry did not like talking about
anything other than football. But he was on during the
summer and it was baseball season, and so he had
an hour show. They called it Lunch with Terry, and
one day, this is one of those shows you never forget.
Terry for the entire hour had a a book of
(14:22):
your mama jokes, and hand to God, I'm not making
this up. Danny on Los Angeles Radio, the number one
radio market in the country, read your mama jokes and
laughed hysterically at all of them. It was unbelievable. We
(14:43):
were all like, I can't believe this is being broadcast.
It was. It was amazing. That's oh, it's okay, No,
I I love hearing about your mama jokes. Um, not
your mama rest in peace. Yeah exactly. But you know,
so a lot of a lot of the morning classroom
for me, it's just getting the kids to get along
(15:03):
with each other. Some kids are catching up on their homework.
Others are just goofing around the back of the classroom.
There's a we set up where the kids are playing
we Tennis or Super Mario Brothers, um, if they're done
with their homework. So that's kind of the vibe in
the morning. It's a nice little, safe, warm place for them.
(15:23):
So this is early morning. Kids are in there, they're
already talking smack to each other. Two kids were on
the Wii. They're playing Supernintendo. I'm sorry. They were playing
Super Mario Brothers, and they started talking smack to each
other because one kid couldn't keep up with the other.
There's like a force field on that game where you
can float and you've got to keep up with the
(15:45):
other player. If he goes too far up on the screen,
it can kill you if you're not keeping up with them.
So the kids getting mad because he's like, wait up
for me, you're going too fast. Wait up, you know
what the problem is, you're gay? Here we go. Yeah,
here we go. The other kids are laughing now because
that's something you know, that's definitely one of the things
(16:09):
they say to each other when they want to get
on each other's nerves. It's good to know kids have
not changed because that happened in my days. Well, so
it's good to know, even though with all the ways
of the world now they that's a neat fault position
for kids. That's wonderful to hear. And then the other
kid his comeback was, oh, yeah, well your mom has
(16:29):
gay sex. At this point, um, I'll call him to
hide the innocent and the guilty, I'll call him Sam.
Sam pauses the video game, looks at me at my
desk and says, Mr g That's not even possible, is it.
How do you have gay sex? Now? All ten, he's
(16:57):
got to learn the birds and the birth, I think,
as you're gonna have to learn there. There were ten
to twelve students in there at this point. Every single
kid turned to me and looked at me at my
desk and waited to see what my answer was gonna
be about gay sex. Now, Ben, they don't they don't
go through this in training. Uh, you know, they have
(17:21):
lots of meetings before the school year starts. Lots of
EO E stuff like we take for my heart, lots
of training obviously, lots of sensitivity training and and things
with kids as they mature, but nothing to help you
deal with a question like that. All right, So you
know the kid wasn't kidding. So at this point you
(17:44):
got a thread a needle like you can because you
don't want to say the wrong thing. And then if
you say the wrong thing and they tell their parents,
they're gonna come after you. Right, what do you do? Yeah?
One percent? So I looked right at Sam and I said, Sam,
I'm sorry, that's something I can't explain to you. You're
(18:06):
gonna have to ask your parents. And Ben, with great
comedic timing, he looked back at me and he said,
are you calling my parents gay? That's pretty good. Yeah,
that kids got a little moxy more than one comedian
(18:28):
in that classroom. So I shut it down by telling
them the old faithful guys, please change the topic. Yeah,
let's talk about something else. That's great, nothing like you're
doing elementary school and the kids are talking gay sex.
That's uh, welcome to the ways of the world. That
(18:48):
elementary school bare bones bare bones, all right, and he
could only wonder if Sam asked his parents when he
got home. I'm gonna go probably No, I'm gonna go. No,
you never you never know, all right. So the text
landed A couple of text landed they are rare and
appropriate guest spot this week. Now, as you know, Danny,
I do not normally do these things. My appearance fee
(19:10):
is very expensive. I usually pop on with Bob Fesco
in the morning Kansas City. But I gotta I gotta
text from you. And he said, Hey, some guy named
Danny g contacted me and said, Yo, are you busy
at this time tomorrow? So I was worried when you
said that, Danny. I was worried something bad it was
going on and I needed a meeting or something like that,
(19:33):
or something about the podcast and maybe some kind of
code of conduct violation and uh, and I was worried
about that. And but but no, you invited me on
the Caveno and Rich Show as part of Mike Tyson Trivia.
You know what it's time for right now. Mike Tyson
(19:56):

third round be the seventh round or see ten round, Rich, Rich,
I feel like it was the seventh round for some reason,
because I know we couldn't go long. But I knew
(23:37):
it wasn't the third round. Just didn't have the fighting guts,
which I just didn't have the stomach for that one.
Did nothing lead from life to talk about it, but
good Aunty rich and Ben Buyer spot. You guys can
guess with no repercussion, so don't be shocked. Yeah, number

near Fiji, or see a rare Richard Millie Richard mill watch,
Ben Ben Ben, I'm gonna go gold bathtub. We have
(24:23):
a we have a real battle going. I think when
I fought Utro Douglas, there might be there might be
a big upset tonight. What should number four? I was
gonna buy that Richard mill watch. Though, in in and
interview in which I would extraordinary and astounding, I explained
(24:47):
that the tribal tattoo on my face was not my
first choice. It was actually a a tiger snarling, be
a butterfly or see hearts O. What with my rich
rich I'm gonna say, based on his love of tigers
and animals, and I'm gonna say the tigers snarlet Hey,
(25:12):
I don't like tigers, but I love Tethel Fielder. I
just want to say I always I always love chat Lamon,
I always love Tethel Fields some of my favorites. But

it's so stupid. So I'll go hearts. Yes we have
Oh my god, what do I do? I win money?

What do I win a car? That just that means

It's more of a punishment. They will leave you out
leftover food on Friday for Friday night. Just looking to friends.
(25:53):
We'll put God bless you. Yes, that's what I need.
You like talking about? Yeah? Wow, congratulations. Yeah. The answer

I congratulations to Ben Mallory, Thank you, Benn Man, thanks
for being on the show. Man, Well, thank you guys,
(26:14):
continued domination. Jim, you too, my friend Ben Maller who
has such a great show. Check out the podcast The
Fifth Hour with Danny G. Danny, I know you're passionate
about it, So I hope he brings them maybe next time.
O man and I love some of that. But thanks Mike, bye, guys. Yeah,
(26:35):
we're not leaving him food on Friday until he leaves us.
You know what I feel like? Maybe you're on the holidays.
Do we do like a what do they call it
when everyone brings something like potluck? Ben? Now it brings
a big thing of babaganosh whoa. And people are accusing
me of cheating. I won the bit, Danny Did you
give me the answers? Danny G. It's funny that you
(26:57):
asked me this because when I got home that evening,
my tender RONI was talking about how she was laughing
during that segment, and she said, did you set him
up with the answers? Did you help him win? And
I was like, I'm offended. I'm offended for Ben now,
I know how it feels for you, Ben, exactly the injustice,
(27:17):
the travesty of justice, Danny G. That people think I
can't win a game show on the radio without being
fed the answer that is soul crushing. Normally, you use
a computer in front of you and you google the answers.
That was that is not. That is a lie. That
is a lie. That was not the case this time.
(27:39):
I paid the answers to only one person, John Ramos,
who was helping run the sound effects during the game
radio legend John Roboslo legend John Ramos Ramos was the
only one who had the answers besides me. So, no,
you did not cheat, and you actually rallied and you
got uh too correct, which made you the champion of
(28:01):
the game. That's right, Winner, winner, winner, chicken dinner. Put
that your pipe and smoking and no cheating at all.
I remember the gold bathtub because I'm old, and I
remember talking about that on the rating. There was like
in the back of my head, the other ones, the
other one I got right. I was just kind of guessing.
But it worked out. It worked out. So yeah. Now
(28:22):
the question is, are you gonna take your belt and
retire or you're gonna come back to defend your title. Well,
you know, I'm a very busy man, as you know, Danny. Yeah, see,
I might. I might have to make a return. I
might have to come back. What's what's going on with
my very busy schedule, you know, being a very influential
(28:43):
host of a show at two in the morning. You know,
when most people are sleeping, is very, very difficult. But
but that was fun being on being on there, and
those guys are good guys, and uh, it's a fun bit.
So I had a good time with it. Uh it's
pizza time. So Life of Mallard, Life of Danny. I've
gotten emails, Hey, I really like you updating me on
(29:03):
what's going on in your life. And then so it's
not too much this weekend or this past weekend, but
I did cook up a Cordom blue masterpiece. The grid
old God was back at work. A Life of Mallard
update here, and you can give me a new nickname,
Dan if you want the Big rag Ou because I
cooked up pizza chicken for the first time ever you
(29:25):
ever had pizza chicken. No, it's not a pizza with chicken.
It's pizza chicken. I gotta tell you it was pretty good.
I was skeptical when my wife's said, just say, hey,
why don't you make some pizza chicken? I said, what
what are you talking about? How Well, it's very simple.
So you get a like a chicken breast, couple of
chicken breasts. You're flattened with a hammer. It's like cooking
with Roberto, but it's cooking with Benny. So you're flatten
(29:46):
the chicken. You take a couple of pieces of you
you cut them up into yummy bite sized pieces. You
toss them into a zip lock bag. You chop up
an onion or I used a mandolin, and you can
get some other vegetables like bell pepper, if you're into
that all kind of thing. I threw some garlic in there,
because of course, why not Italian seasoning, some other spices.
(30:11):
And then I poured about half a jar of Maranera sauce,
and I sealed the zip lock bag and I let
everything fuse together for like a day, right, at least
a few hours. You can do it for a few hours.
And and then I went out to the griddle. I
poured the bag of chicken and Marianara sauce and all
(30:32):
this garlic and onion, pour it on the griddle. And
it made a tremendous mess, and it was a total
pin in the ask to clean. But I then topped it.
Once the chicken was all cooked, I then topped it
with a little fresh mozzarella, and oh my god, it
was MAGNIFICENTO Or whatever was about to say, magnificent, It
(30:53):
was wonderful. I little sighed potatoes, and I get that.
It's pretty good, Danny. I might have to be Yeah,
it sounds really good. While you're describing it. First thing
that came to mind, Who the hell wants to clean
that mess? Oh? Yeah, I'm the one that had to
clean it. But it sounds like the results were worth it. Yeah, No,
it was good. You know. It's it's one of these
(31:15):
things we try to eat a lot of, like somewhat healthy,
you know, because I eat a lot of bad stuff too.
I don't eat that much. So we're trying to get
a lot of chicken and rice, chicken and potatoes, things
like that, which is it's low on the healthy scale,
but for us it's high on the healthy scale. Now,
at your Halloween party tonight, are you gonna be Benny Grittle?
(31:35):
You know, I've said about that. We're not sure how
many people are gonna be there, so it could be
a few, it could be a lot. So I think
it's probably better if I do not go on the griddle.
But at the Ugly Sweater party, I may have to
be the griddle guy. I may have to be the
griddle guy for that. All right, let's get out. We
have Backscratcher. We're gonna get out of here on backstratcher
and this is where we ask people to review the podcast.
(31:58):
Give us five ours on the Apple podcast page. And Danny,
as you point out, every week, it's very simple to do.
Takes a couple of minutes of your time, which is
a pain in the ask, but it helps us out
a lot. It's free, it doesn't cost you anything. But
yet our bosses who micromanage everything, wink wink, not not
keep track of this stuff. And you know, we're way
(32:20):
behind a lot of shows, but we're catching up slowly.
By Shirley, it's the Tortoise and the Hair, Danny, it's
the Tortoise and the Hair. Yeah. Go into the Apple
podcast very description of this show and you'll see the
link to click on to rate, subscribe, review. Click on
that page down you'll see the big overall score and
right underneath that it says write a review. Click on that,
(32:43):
make a user name, and they'll let you type in
a five star review for the show. Hopefully you give
it five stars. Yeah. The goal is to at least
get one every week. How many reviews do you think
we got this week? Did any think we got one
to three or none? Let's see last week we got
a couple. I'm gonna say we got one this week.
That is wrong, Danny. We got three three reviews this week?
(33:04):
How about that? Yeah, I'm happy to be wrong. Craig
stir w wrights and he says he puts Seinfeld in
the headline, says, your show reminds me of Seinfeld. It's
not about anything specific, just daily life. But you guys
make it interesting and sometimes humors only sometimes humorous. Danny.
I hope you keep it going first. I'll take that. Man.
(33:25):
If we're batting Hall of famers, that is correct, That
is correct. You've got three thirty year of Hall of
Famer at this point. A huge ass cookie rights in,
not small ass cookie. You're not medium sized cookie, huge
ass cookie, says I sing on the cake. I listened
to all four hours of the Ben Mallor Show in
podcast form daily because of my rotating worst schedule, and
(33:49):
this tops it off. Listening to Ben and Danny g
talk candidly is a perfect addition to the already killer show.
He says, Ben, you're truly a man, a man of
the people don't change the thing. That's Marco in Wisconsins though,
thank you Marco, better known by your friends as the
huge ass Cookie. And who doesn't like a huge ass cookie?
(34:10):
So thank you for that. That guy seven writes in
and he gives us five stars. He says, I love it.
I have been listening to Ben on and off for
more than ten years now. Wow, I'm glad I was
able to find the show in the podcast for him.
I love the behind the scenes radio stories, so we
have to tell some more inside radio stories, Danny to
(34:30):
pacify that guy, not that guy that seven. We gotta
make him happy. Nice. Well, I got a quick little
inside radio Scoops taking another day off or maybe multiple days,
and so I get to fill in for him on
your show Sunday night into Monday. Hey, are you serious
(34:50):
he's taking a right I'm off? Oh my god? Yeah. Well,
our boss, Howard Stern, now at the time off he's getting,
he gets more time off than I get. That's unbelievable.
Our boss hit me up and he was like, hey,
Coop is off if you want Sunday night into Monday,
because I know Sundays your day off, So can you
handle that? In Covino and Rich and I was like, yes,
sign me up, Well it would be great. I usually
(35:12):
come in on Sunday, so I'll see it in Living
in Living Color, side by side united again Danny like
the old days, just like the old days there. So
anyway we'll get out on that any remote other than that,
it's the inside radio any other. Yeah, Well, today is
gonna be the pregame to your Halloween party. I'm gonna
go in with Jonas Knox from eleven to one specific time.
(35:37):
That's a lot of fun on his Saturday show, and
then Steve Hartman and I from salam after that, and
my girl's gonna pick me up from our parking garage
and then we are going to head to the north Woods.
That's right, all right, Well, thank you very much everyone
for listening. Thank you. I appreciate it. Tell a friend
about the podcast five Stars, five Stars and we will
(36:01):
talk to you on the mail bag on so Osta pasta,
Gotta murder, Gotta go
Ka Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes
a week was enough, I think again. He's the last
remnants of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness.
He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as
the rich pill poppers in the penthouse. The clearing House
of Hot takes, break free for something special. The Fifth
(00:23):
Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere.
Welcome into a brand new edition Hot out of the Oven,
The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny g Radio.
Because clearly five nights a week on the Overnight not enough,
(00:47):
five day slash nights with Danny ge on with Covino
and Rich not enough. So a spinoff of the Overnight Show.
And we are excited to be back in the podcast,
do Joe Danny as it is the Saturday Podcast, which
is all about us, the show about nothing, the Saturday Podcast.
(01:08):
You're even a guest on the Coveno and Rich Show
this past week. Yeah, we will, we might. We might
or might not get into that at some point here.
We might or might not get into that at some point,
But I'm excited for it. You've got a lot of
stuff going on you might think, boy, you guys have
nothing going on. You just you're a bunch of gas bags.
There's nothing. No, no, no, no no, we're able to
grind out podcast, right, Danny. And the key to this,
(01:31):
and I've noticed this over the years doing radio. I mean,
you're you're a radio pro to, right. The key is
just kind of keeping track of stuff that happens. There's
always a lot of stuff that happens in your life,
but a lot of people don't keep track of it, right.
You don't really take notes on what's going on and
all that. And I've talked to a few comedians over
the years and they that's what comedy. A lot of
(01:52):
observational comedy is just remembering things that happened in your
day to day existence, a lot of mental notes, taking
some notes, some real notes, and also are kind of
day to day changes a little bit based on topics
and headlines. And that's different from a lot of other
people's jobs where they have a routine and it's the
(02:13):
same kind of work every day. Yeah, that is one
of the cool things about doing the daily radio show.
People say, well, do you can you talk about sports?
You've been doing that for twenty years, and well, every
day is different. And I'm talking about guys now. When
I you know, I started, I was talking about Vladimir Guerrero.
Now I'm talking about his kid, you know, with the
Blue Jays or that that kind of thing. So it's
it's like it, but it changes. You don't get bogged down.
(02:36):
You also have the seasons. We're in the we're in
the sweet spot right now of our schedule football season,
which is great. But then you have to you have
to figure out a way to put a professional show
on when there's not much going on, when it's June
and there's there's just not a lot ringing in the
ears and all that. Will you have been on the
radio long enough to cover Vladimir the third? Oh god,
(02:58):
no God. All right, So I've got jaw dropping, We've
got ask your parents, text landed, it's pizza time and
backscratcher and we'll get to all that. So I don't
want to bring this podcast down, Danny, but I wanted
to get this off my chest. It's been bothering me.
It really shook me up the last week here. I
(03:21):
did not talk about it on the radio show. I
thought this would be the better form to talk about it. So,
as you know, this weekend tonight, in fact, the big night,
it's the Halloween party. Oh uh, and I don't know
what your best spooky sound effect? Bad is your owl? Wait?
(03:47):
Wait wait wait wait wait, well you do not like
my scary, my scariness? How there you, Danny? Well let's
see what you got. Come on over there, see what
you got? All right? Well you got a deeper voice
in all right, Okay, this is that I don't have
the deep tipes like that. I can't do it a
story in post production. When you do your spooky sound,
(04:09):
I'll put in your owl sound effect. Okay, I'm a
mean owl. My name is Ben Mallor and I'm a
mean owl, not a mino so be. I'm a mean owl.
All right, So Saturday tonight the big Halloween party. Now
we will have in depth team coverage next weekend on
(04:31):
the Saturday podcast. Is that correct? And we will take notes.
We will take pictures. Well, who got the drunkest, who
is doing things they shouldn't do in the backyard. We'll
talk about all that. I become a thirteen year old
girl breaking news next week. Marcel will tweet it out exactly.
But I wanted to share this story with you because
I I want to see if this has ever happened
(04:52):
to you. It's it's happened to me before, but hasn't
happened a long time. And I was kind of scrambling.
I invited some people. I forgot who I invited. There
were a bunch of people that I didn't invite that
I wanted to invite, and so I f this up
the Halloween Park. Uh, and it's it's not as big
as the Christmas ugly sweater Hanukah party that we do
(05:15):
every year up until the last couple of years, but
it's still there's there's still gonna be a good amount
of people that are there, right, And so we have
not had one of these shin digs since December of
twenty nineteen because of the pandemic that we all lived
through thanks to COVID, all the parties were canceled for
(05:37):
two years. So I was going through my mental roller
decks right in my head. I was going through and
I was like, all right, I was trying to remember
who to invite. I decided to stop inviting people who
never show up, because what's the point. I mean, I've
known this for years, and certain people just I'm not
gonna name names here, but there's certain people that just
don't show up. There was I'll be there and they
never show U. But I get it. Maybe they lived
too far away, they got stuff going on, so they're
(05:59):
off the list. I I thinned the herd. I got
rid of them. And also people who you know, just
just kind of aren't into it and all that. Maybe
they went one time and that was it. So I
was like, okay, you know, I'm good. So I was
making a few last minute invites and I messaged someone
I've known for a long time named James. James Allen
(06:21):
is his name, and that he was a caller how
far back when I was doing the Ben and Dave
Show in the nineties. This this cat James was one
of my callers and he became a radio producer, he
got into the business. And so I sent him a text.
Now I said, hey, Chicago guy, that was what he
(06:41):
was known as. We know, I knew him as the
Chicago Guy when he was a caller, Big guy. You
loved Sammy so so we used to This is back
in the late nineties when Sosa McGuire had the big
home run race, and that was the talk of sports radio,
and he'd call up and he'd talked about the the
end of the Chicago Bulls run and and Sosa and
all that was the topic of the day in sports
rading and and so anyway, I texted him, I said, hey,
(07:07):
Chicago got and I got this response, who is this?
And so that seemed odd to me. So I wrote back,
I said, hey, it's it's it's been you know, and uh.
And then the number text back and said you have
the wrong numb So my first thought was, oh, man,
this must be kind of a gag, you know, maybe
he's busting my chops and so so then I I thought, well,
(07:27):
maybe he changed his number. And you know, it's been
a couple of years. We haven't had a party in
a couple of years. And so I I started doing
some due diligence here and I started snooping around and
I was absolutely stunned that my man, this is jaw dropping,
My man James had actually he passed away. Oh he's
(07:52):
a year younger than I am. And I don't know
how I didn't find this out. Um, I mean not
that it's not about me, it's about him. And I
feel terrible and all that, and I I would have
liked to have paid my respects, but there was I
found a go fund me and there were some vague details.
(08:14):
I guess he had a sudden illness. I don't think
it was COVID. I don't know what it was. Uh,
and he had passed away. It's just terribly as four daughters,
young daughters married. His wife actually came to the to
the last Halloween party we had, or the last Christmas party,
and so I just wanted to pay my respects to James.
He was a good man. Obviously, we weren't that close.
(08:35):
We talked once a year. That's one of these things
about the Christmas party that I was kind of catching
up with people that were important in my life at
some point that I don't see anymore because we don't
work together. And so it's it's really cool to invite
people that I kind of lose touch with that you
can still hang out with. And but I I really
liked hanging out with James. I hung out with him
a lot, actually, a Clipper games and Laker games. He
(08:55):
was always hustling and he had worked as your Lodge
as producer and for those who don't know. Roger Lodge
probably most famous for hosting Blind Date, but he ows
the local radio show in the l A market on
broadcast out of the stadium there, right, yeah, yeah, they
still have studios at the Big a Um, but the
(09:18):
Angels own a radio station and Roger Lodge does a show,
and my friend James was his producer. And I'm surprised
nobody like reached out. I don't know. Usually people love
to share bad news like this, like when somebody passes away.
It's a small fraternity radio. There's not that many of
us to do this nonsense. And so anyway, I just
(09:41):
I was really shooking up by it. I was like, man,
I could I stopped inviting people after that day. My
wife was giving me a hard time. I gotta keep
inviting people, I said, I'm afraid. I don't know who's dead.
I don't know who's alive, but I don't know. It
means like it was freaking me out. So I was
in this fog for a couple of days. But anyway,
it just that ever happened when you reached that somebody
(10:01):
hadn't talked to him while and then you get that
that's man, no, not personally. But I've noticed this before
on Facebook, because, as you know, a lot of families
keep their relatives pages up even after the person passes away,
and so you'll see on their birthday, you'll see messages
like happy Heavenly Birthday and things like that from family
(10:24):
members and friends, and they put memories on the page. Well,
I was on a Radio Buddies page last year on
his birthday, Rest in Peace, DJ Neons from up in
the Bay Area, and you know, I was just kind
of scrolling through his page and I was reading some
of the cool memories about him, and then I saw
(10:45):
one or two messages sprinkled in from knuckle heads who
had no idea he had passed away six years ago, saying, Hey, DJ,
can't wait to catch up with you. Man, we need
to go grab a bite. Oh yeah, that's terrible, man,
that's in the middle of memories. And so yeah, I've
(11:06):
seen that happen on Facebook where people just don't know, Um,
at least you didn't get on his Facebook page and
wish him a happy birthday and say, man, I can't
wait to see my next party. I was so it
was so bad, Like I have seen those messages on
Facebook and I get a lot of that. I'm almost
(11:27):
never on LinkedIn, Like I have a LinkedIn page, but
I'm never on there because I'm not really looking for
a job. I have enough work. Um you know usually
are on there were looking for work and all that.
So but I'm never on there. And I'll get messages
from people, Hey, happy work anniversary or something like that.
I'm like, what the you know, Like I don't even
know there's a work anniversaries, Like I guess I went
(11:49):
past twenty two years at Fox Sports Radio recently, so
they're like, happy you know anniversary, Like I don't even
I don't even know what you're talking about. But anyway,
So turning the page on that, I don't want to
be Debbie Downer and all that, but I just wanted
to pay my respects to James A. K the Chicago God,
and I wish I had a way to contact his wife.
(12:09):
I don't. I don't have any way. I don't have
her number or anything like that. But maybe somebody can
let her know who hears this and hopefully she can
reach out and uh and I can send my my
thoughts if she wants, and if not, it's all good.
Ask your parents on page two. Feel me. Yeah. So
I I've talked about it on this podcast already. How
(12:32):
I'm still working for the school district three mornings a
week to fit into the new Coveno and Rich schedule.
So I go into the school this past Tuesday morning,
and you know, it's a normal morning. The early kids
are showing up. I had about ten early arrivals in
my classroom, and this week then it was seventh and
(12:53):
eighth graders only because the sixth graders were all on
a field trip to Lake Arrowhead. Oh night, Yeah right,
So no pesky sixth graders, but the seventh and eighth graders.
I think they thought they were more mature now all
of a sudden, because there were no sixth graders around.
As I sit at my desk in my classroom, a
(13:15):
lot of the conversation you'll hear between the kids, it's
stuff they probably shouldn't be talking about. So from me,
what you'll hear a lot in the morning is, hey, guys,
change the subject, please, Uh can you talk about something different?
What kind of subjects are we talking about here? What
do we like? Like a lot of your mom jokes,
(13:37):
your mama jokes, Yeah, yeah, stuff just inappropriate stuff where
they're talking smack to each other and it'll start to
get heated, where one kid kind of starts out joking
about the other kids mom, and the other kid gets
offended and he digs in deeper, and so you just
headed off at the past. It's so it's so funny
because this reminds me of years ago in the nineties.
(14:00):
Terry Bradshaw hosted a radio show at at the place
I worked at, and Terry did not like talking about
anything other than football. But he was on during the
summer and it was baseball season, and so he had
an hour show. They called it Lunch with Terry, and
one day, this is one of those shows you never forget.
Terry for the entire hour had a a book of
(14:22):
your mama jokes, and hand to God, I'm not making
this up. Danny on Los Angeles Radio, the number one
radio market in the country, read your mama jokes and
laughed hysterically at all of them. It was unbelievable. We
(14:43):
were all like, I can't believe this is being broadcast.
It was. It was amazing. That's oh, it's okay, No,
I I love hearing about your mama jokes. Um, not
your mama rest in peace. Yeah exactly. But you know,
so a lot of a lot of the morning classroom
for me, it's just getting the kids to get along
(15:03):
with each other. Some kids are catching up on their homework.
Others are just goofing around the back of the classroom.
There's a we set up where the kids are playing
we Tennis or Super Mario Brothers, um, if they're done
with their homework. So that's kind of the vibe in
the morning. It's a nice little, safe, warm place for them.
(15:23):
So this is early morning. Kids are in there, they're
already talking smack to each other. Two kids were on
the Wii. They're playing Supernintendo. I'm sorry. They were playing
Super Mario Brothers, and they started talking smack to each
other because one kid couldn't keep up with the other.
There's like a force field on that game where you
can float and you've got to keep up with the
(15:45):
other player. If he goes too far up on the screen,
it can kill you if you're not keeping up with them.
So the kids getting mad because he's like, wait up
for me, you're going too fast. Wait up, you know
what the problem is, you're gay? Here we go. Yeah,
here we go. The other kids are laughing now because
that's something you know, that's definitely one of the things
(16:09):
they say to each other when they want to get
on each other's nerves. It's good to know kids have
not changed because that happened in my days. Well, so
it's good to know, even though with all the ways
of the world now they that's a neat fault position
for kids. That's wonderful to hear. And then the other
kid his comeback was, oh, yeah, well your mom has
(16:29):
gay sex. At this point, um, I'll call him to
hide the innocent and the guilty, I'll call him Sam.
Sam pauses the video game, looks at me at my
desk and says, Mr g That's not even possible, is it.
How do you have gay sex? Now? All ten, he's
(16:57):
got to learn the birds and the birth, I think,
as you're gonna have to learn there. There were ten
to twelve students in there at this point. Every single
kid turned to me and looked at me at my
desk and waited to see what my answer was gonna
be about gay sex. Now, Ben, they don't they don't
go through this in training. Uh, you know, they have
(17:21):
lots of meetings before the school year starts. Lots of
EO E stuff like we take for my heart, lots
of training obviously, lots of sensitivity training and and things
with kids as they mature, but nothing to help you
deal with a question like that. All right, So you
know the kid wasn't kidding. So at this point you
(17:44):
got a thread a needle like you can because you
don't want to say the wrong thing. And then if
you say the wrong thing and they tell their parents,
they're gonna come after you. Right, what do you do? Yeah?
One percent? So I looked right at Sam and I said, Sam,
I'm sorry, that's something I can't explain to you. You're
(18:06):
gonna have to ask your parents. And Ben, with great
comedic timing, he looked back at me and he said,
are you calling my parents gay? That's pretty good. Yeah,
that kids got a little moxy more than one comedian
(18:28):
in that classroom. So I shut it down by telling
them the old faithful guys, please change the topic. Yeah,
let's talk about something else. That's great, nothing like you're
doing elementary school and the kids are talking gay sex.
That's uh, welcome to the ways of the world. That
(18:48):
elementary school bare bones bare bones, all right, and he
could only wonder if Sam asked his parents when he
got home. I'm gonna go probably No, I'm gonna go. No,
you never you never know, all right. So the text
landed A couple of text landed they are rare and
appropriate guest spot this week. Now, as you know, Danny,
I do not normally do these things. My appearance fee
(19:10):
is very expensive. I usually pop on with Bob Fesco
in the morning Kansas City. But I gotta I gotta
text from you. And he said, Hey, some guy named
Danny g contacted me and said, Yo, are you busy
at this time tomorrow? So I was worried when you
said that, Danny. I was worried something bad it was
going on and I needed a meeting or something like that,
(19:33):
or something about the podcast and maybe some kind of
code of conduct violation and uh, and I was worried
about that. And but but no, you invited me on
the Caveno and Rich Show as part of Mike Tyson Trivia.
You know what it's time for right now. Mike Tyson
(19:56):
was a maniac. I want your heart, I want to
eat the children. But year to this. If you're a
boxing brainy Tired Mike Trivia. Al right, week number two

ones in a row, then we'll skip to the next question.
Alody rules. Ready, let's go Dan, question number one. Alright,
I once famously said inexplicably that sometimes I a put
(22:10):
on a ski mask and think about going to the
corner store to steal quarters. Be put on a ski
mask and old clothes and go to the street to
beg for quarters. Or see put on a ski mask
and dream about getting revenge on my enemies, spot spot,
I'm gonna go with a go to the corner store.
(22:33):
I never said that, never said that, Rich. You like
Michael Spink, I think he the third one. I feel
like he getting revenge on his enemies. Long I once
famously said inexplicably that sometimes I put on a ski
mask and old clothes and go to the streets to
(22:55):
beg for quarters. Okay, okay, no more unique guy, Mike.
Nobody wins. Nobody wins, not even you, Ben. I don't
even tried, Mike. I didn't even try. We go here,
we go alright? Question number two. On June eleventh, five,
I can agorically stunned the boxing world by quitting against
(23:17):
journeyman Kevin McBride at the start of blank A. The
third round be the seventh round or see ten round, Rich, Rich,
I feel like it was the seventh round for some reason,
because I know we couldn't go long. But I knew
(23:37):
it wasn't the third round. Just didn't have the fighting guts,
which I just didn't have the stomach for that one.
Did nothing lead from life to talk about it, but
good Aunty rich and Ben Buyer spot. You guys can
guess with no repercussion, so don't be shocked. Yeah, number
three I was extravagant and I ludicr ludicrously rud. He
(24:00):
spent two million dollars to buy one of my wive's
h a solid go go bathtub, be a small island
near Fiji, or see a rare Richard Millie Richard mill watch,
Ben Ben Ben, I'm gonna go gold bathtub. We have
(24:23):
a we have a real battle going. I think when
I fought Utro Douglas, there might be there might be
a big upset tonight. What should number four? I was
gonna buy that Richard mill watch. Though, in in and
interview in which I would extraordinary and astounding, I explained
(24:47):
that the tribal tattoo on my face was not my
first choice. It was actually a a tiger snarling, be
a butterfly or see hearts O. What with my rich
rich I'm gonna say, based on his love of tigers
and animals, and I'm gonna say the tigers snarlet Hey,
(25:12):
I don't like tigers, but I love Tethel Fielder. I
just want to say I always I always love chat Lamon,
I always love Tethel Fields some of my favorites. But
you would be wrong. Any other guest is h bet
it's so stupid. So I'll go hearts. Yes we have
Oh my god, what do I do? I win money?
(25:33):
What do I win a car? That just that means
you have to be back next week to defend your title.
Now now you can't leave Ben. It looks like you're
gonna be every week on the Cavino met Show. Changing.
It's more of a punishment. They will leave you out
leftover food on Friday for Friday night. Just looking to friends.
(25:53):
We'll put God bless you. Yes, that's what I need.
You like talking about? Yeah? Wow, congratulations. Yeah. The answer
was hearts. I want to get too. Hearts went on
each cheek my faith. I was gonna get butterfly. So
I congratulations to Ben Mallory, Thank you, Benn Man, thanks
for being on the show. Man, Well, thank you guys,
(26:14):
continued domination. Jim, you too, my friend Ben Maller who
has such a great show. Check out the podcast The
Fifth Hour with Danny G. Danny, I know you're passionate
about it, So I hope he brings them maybe next time.
O man and I love some of that. But thanks Mike, bye, guys. Yeah,
(26:35):
we're not leaving him food on Friday until he leaves us.
You know what I feel like? Maybe you're on the holidays.
Do we do like a what do they call it
when everyone brings something like potluck? Ben? Now it brings
a big thing of babaganosh whoa. And people are accusing
me of cheating. I won the bit, Danny Did you
give me the answers? Danny G. It's funny that you
(26:57):
asked me this because when I got home that evening,
my tender RONI was talking about how she was laughing
during that segment, and she said, did you set him
up with the answers? Did you help him win? And
I was like, I'm offended. I'm offended for Ben now,
I know how it feels for you, Ben, exactly the injustice,
(27:17):
the travesty of justice, Danny G. That people think I
can't win a game show on the radio without being
fed the answer that is soul crushing. Normally, you use
a computer in front of you and you google the answers.
That was that is not. That is a lie. That
is a lie. That was not the case this time.
(27:39):
I paid the answers to only one person, John Ramos,
who was helping run the sound effects during the game
radio legend John Roboslo legend John Ramos Ramos was the
only one who had the answers besides me. So, no,
you did not cheat, and you actually rallied and you
got uh too correct, which made you the champion of
(28:01):
the game. That's right, Winner, winner, winner, chicken dinner. Put
that your pipe and smoking and no cheating at all.
I remember the gold bathtub because I'm old, and I
remember talking about that on the rating. There was like
in the back of my head, the other ones, the
other one I got right. I was just kind of guessing.
But it worked out. It worked out. So yeah. Now
(28:22):
the question is, are you gonna take your belt and
retire or you're gonna come back to defend your title. Well,
you know, I'm a very busy man, as you know, Danny. Yeah, see,
I might. I might have to make a return. I
might have to come back. What's what's going on with
my very busy schedule, you know, being a very influential
(28:43):
host of a show at two in the morning. You know,
when most people are sleeping, is very, very difficult. But
but that was fun being on being on there, and
those guys are good guys, and uh, it's a fun bit.
So I had a good time with it. Uh it's
pizza time. So Life of Mallard, Life of Danny. I've
gotten emails, Hey, I really like you updating me on
(29:03):
what's going on in your life. And then so it's
not too much this weekend or this past weekend, but
I did cook up a Cordom blue masterpiece. The grid
old God was back at work. A Life of Mallard
update here, and you can give me a new nickname,
Dan if you want the Big rag Ou because I
cooked up pizza chicken for the first time ever you
(29:25):
ever had pizza chicken. No, it's not a pizza with chicken.
It's pizza chicken. I gotta tell you it was pretty good.
I was skeptical when my wife's said, just say, hey,
why don't you make some pizza chicken? I said, what
what are you talking about? How Well, it's very simple.
So you get a like a chicken breast, couple of
chicken breasts. You're flattened with a hammer. It's like cooking
with Roberto, but it's cooking with Benny. So you're flatten
(29:46):
the chicken. You take a couple of pieces of you
you cut them up into yummy bite sized pieces. You
toss them into a zip lock bag. You chop up
an onion or I used a mandolin, and you can
get some other vegetables like bell pepper, if you're into
that all kind of thing. I threw some garlic in there,
because of course, why not Italian seasoning, some other spices.
(30:11):
And then I poured about half a jar of Maranera sauce,
and I sealed the zip lock bag and I let
everything fuse together for like a day, right, at least
a few hours. You can do it for a few hours.
And and then I went out to the griddle. I
poured the bag of chicken and Marianara sauce and all
(30:32):
this garlic and onion, pour it on the griddle. And
it made a tremendous mess, and it was a total
pin in the ask to clean. But I then topped it.
Once the chicken was all cooked, I then topped it
with a little fresh mozzarella, and oh my god, it
was MAGNIFICENTO Or whatever was about to say, magnificent, It
(30:53):
was wonderful. I little sighed potatoes, and I get that.
It's pretty good, Danny. I might have to be Yeah,
it sounds really good. While you're describing it. First thing
that came to mind, Who the hell wants to clean
that mess? Oh? Yeah, I'm the one that had to
clean it. But it sounds like the results were worth it. Yeah, No,
it was good. You know. It's it's one of these
(31:15):
things we try to eat a lot of, like somewhat healthy,
you know, because I eat a lot of bad stuff too.
I don't eat that much. So we're trying to get
a lot of chicken and rice, chicken and potatoes, things
like that, which is it's low on the healthy scale,
but for us it's high on the healthy scale. Now,
at your Halloween party tonight, are you gonna be Benny Grittle?
(31:35):
You know, I've said about that. We're not sure how
many people are gonna be there, so it could be
a few, it could be a lot. So I think
it's probably better if I do not go on the griddle.
But at the Ugly Sweater party, I may have to
be the griddle guy. I may have to be the
griddle guy for that. All right, let's get out. We
have Backscratcher. We're gonna get out of here on backstratcher
and this is where we ask people to review the podcast.
(31:58):
Give us five ours on the Apple podcast page. And Danny,
as you point out, every week, it's very simple to do.
Takes a couple of minutes of your time, which is
a pain in the ask, but it helps us out
a lot. It's free, it doesn't cost you anything. But
yet our bosses who micromanage everything, wink wink, not not
keep track of this stuff. And you know, we're way
(32:20):
behind a lot of shows, but we're catching up slowly.
By Shirley, it's the Tortoise and the Hair, Danny, it's
the Tortoise and the Hair. Yeah. Go into the Apple
podcast very description of this show and you'll see the
link to click on to rate, subscribe, review. Click on
that page down you'll see the big overall score and
right underneath that it says write a review. Click on that,
(32:43):
make a user name, and they'll let you type in
a five star review for the show. Hopefully you give
it five stars. Yeah. The goal is to at least
get one every week. How many reviews do you think
we got this week? Did any think we got one
to three or none? Let's see last week we got
a couple. I'm gonna say we got one this week.
That is wrong, Danny. We got three three reviews this week?
(33:04):
How about that? Yeah, I'm happy to be wrong. Craig
stir w wrights and he says he puts Seinfeld in
the headline, says, your show reminds me of Seinfeld. It's
not about anything specific, just daily life. But you guys
make it interesting and sometimes humors only sometimes humorous. Danny.
I hope you keep it going first. I'll take that. Man.
(33:25):
If we're batting Hall of famers, that is correct, That
is correct. You've got three thirty year of Hall of
Famer at this point. A huge ass cookie rights in,
not small ass cookie. You're not medium sized cookie, huge
ass cookie, says I sing on the cake. I listened
to all four hours of the Ben Mallor Show in
podcast form daily because of my rotating worst schedule, and
(33:49):
this tops it off. Listening to Ben and Danny g
talk candidly is a perfect addition to the already killer show.
He says, Ben, you're truly a man, a man of
the people don't change the thing. That's Marco in Wisconsins though,
thank you Marco, better known by your friends as the
huge ass Cookie. And who doesn't like a huge ass cookie?
(34:10):
So thank you for that. That guy seven writes in
and he gives us five stars. He says, I love it.
I have been listening to Ben on and off for
more than ten years now. Wow, I'm glad I was
able to find the show in the podcast for him.
I love the behind the scenes radio stories, so we
have to tell some more inside radio stories, Danny to
(34:30):
pacify that guy, not that guy that seven. We gotta
make him happy. Nice. Well, I got a quick little
inside radio Scoops taking another day off or maybe multiple days,
and so I get to fill in for him on
your show Sunday night into Monday. Hey, are you serious
(34:50):
he's taking a right I'm off? Oh my god? Yeah. Well,
our boss, Howard Stern, now at the time off he's getting,
he gets more time off than I get. That's unbelievable.
Our boss hit me up and he was like, hey,
Coop is off if you want Sunday night into Monday,
because I know Sundays your day off, So can you
handle that? In Covino and Rich and I was like, yes,
sign me up, Well it would be great. I usually
(35:12):
come in on Sunday, so I'll see it in Living
in Living Color, side by side united again Danny like
the old days, just like the old days there. So
anyway we'll get out on that any remote other than that,
it's the inside radio any other. Yeah, Well, today is
gonna be the pregame to your Halloween party. I'm gonna
go in with Jonas Knox from eleven to one specific time.
