Speaker 1 (00:00):
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 in.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
The air everywhere. Welcome in to the podcast, Doe Joe,
We are hanging out on the weekend. Here the Fifth
Hour with Ben Maler and Danny G. Radio. Because four
hours a night on the overnight or not enough. You
hear the Ben Malor Show Monday through Friday Eastern Standard
(00:53):
time two am till six am, and then on the
West Coast it's eleven pm Sunday through Thursday till three
am on Friday. Thursday to Friday, the end of the weekend,
it's Saturday and Danny G's on with Covino and Rich
during the week on Fox Sports Radio and we unite
we form Voltron on the weekends and this is the
(01:15):
Saturday podcast Danny From Pillar to Post. It's all about
the life of Malor and the Life of Danny g
and we are off to the races. Yet again. It
does not get better than this. Danny on this podcast,
we have no credit. Don't close your eyes. Kicked out
of the Halo the phrase of the week, and pop
(01:38):
goes the culture which is likely way too much content,
which means we probably won't get to half of that,
but hopefully we will. Hopefully we will. It'll be mouth
watering good goodness.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
With not a lot of sports on the calendar. And
if you're watching our Dodgers and their bullpen and vomits
all over the mound and you get pissed and turn
it off, what have you been watching?
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Have you been watching some documentaries?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
So I have watched a few documentaries on the weekend,
but during the week I'm usually flipping around to random
baseball games and if the Dodgers, Dodgers played well this weekend, anah,
I'm actually more on that coming out in a minute.
But I'm trying to think, what did I I watched
the It's not a documentary. I watched the Smoking Hot
(02:25):
Cheetos movie. You know that?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah, yeah, I watched that with the WiFi last weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
And then I was very upset. After I watched it.
I thought it was pretty good. I watched it whatever,
and then like two days later, somebody sent me a story.
We had mentioned it on the show. It came up
in conversation on the show, and somebody sent me a
story that that entire premise for the movie was debunked.
It's bullshit. It didn't happen, like the way that.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
There was a big argument on Covino and Rich about this,
because there are two camps and they've been arguing and
arguing over this, and there are people like Eva Longoria
who swear this happened, and then there's other people saying
he's just an executive, that guy and his background story
was made up.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah, I don't know. I mean, it was a good
movie and all that. I do know that based on
my experience in the corporate world that if you create
something other people want to take credit for, you know't
what I'm saying, Danny, where like maybe that guy came
up with it, But then there's other people that said, no,
you didn't really do that. I know somebody else. You know,
It's like, I don't know, I don't know what happened,
but it was a nice movie for a couple hours.
(03:37):
I checked it out.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Fine, well, it's interesting. Joe Montana said it did not happen.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Well he said it, then there you go. That's that's
the end all be all. But not trying to think
any other documentaries. I watched a lot of like random
short documentaries on YouTube, but that that doesn't No, no, no,
there's this bald and bankrupt guy that I've been watching.
I used to watch him. I've been back watching that
(04:06):
and just random random nonsense. What about you, Danny, anything
pop up?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Let's see, I've been watching ninety dight Fiance and there's
a spin off of that show. It's matched me Abroad.
And there's this forty two year old guy on the Spectrum.
His name is Harold.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Oh yeah, you know what My wife track, she said,
you got to see this show. I said, what is that?
Because I have a buddy of mine that's kind of
on the spectrum and she said, you guys see this
guy should be on the dating show. And yeah, that's
all man. It is TV gold it is. It's so
amazing that I'm surprised it made it on television, Danny,
(04:47):
you know what I mean. I'm surprised there's not some
group out there saying, hey, wait a minute, you're messing
with these people. You're mocking these people. You can't put
that on television. It's it's done well. It makes them
look good and all that. It's very but are you
talking with which one? I only watched like half of
one episode, which one was Harold was Harold?
Speaker 4 (05:06):
No, Harold? He he went? Where did he go?
Speaker 3 (05:10):
He went to Serbia or somewhere like that looking for
a wife. And the first girl that the matchmaker hooked
him up with was like this tall blonde and her
face was a little beat up, but like this tall
blonde and she's like, that's what he's asking for.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
But on the second date, I'm gonna give him what
he deserves.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Oh shit. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
The way she said it was just like, you know,
like he's just this big time loser. So then the
second date he goes out with like a girl next
door type, kind of homely to be honest, but just
because she shows a little bit of interest in him,
he falls all google in love with her.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
He's great.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I saw the one. I saw the he went to
a renaissance thing in New York on the Spectrum Dating
show thing and they were like dressed up and then
the guy he got dumped by the girl I don't know.
And then there was a in that episode there was
a math guy that was I don't know it was
it was, it was wild and crazy.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
He was packing to go on this trip and he
made sure to bring his rock collection to show off
to his future wife.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Well, you know, every man, I don't care if you're
on the spectrum or not knows. You got to impress
the lady, you know. And what woman is not just blown.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Away by rocks?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Right? I mean? That is that is going to get
you right to the bedroom right there?
Speaker 4 (06:38):
That not a volcanic rock.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
That will get the juices flowing right, that that.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Git her as hot as lava.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yeah, exactly exactly. Uh So the no credit story will
start with that. I had some visitors at the Malor
mansion over the last week since we got together on
this podcast, and some of my older cousins made a
visit and I love them to death. My cousins from Phoenix,
(07:10):
Jerry and Lynn are their names. One of them is
eighty five years old, the others eighty and they get
out of Phoenix. They have a tradition in Phoenix. This
time of the year, it is as hot as the
face of the sun. So they since they're retired, they
just get out on the road. They pack up their
car and they just leave and they visit relatives and
(07:34):
travel around and see the country. And so they headed
from Arizona to southern California. They're actually driving all the
way to Alaska. Wow. And these are the kind of relatives.
I'm sure you have this too, Danny, where you see
these people and you flash back to when you were
like thirteen years old, you know what I mean. I
was around them at family events, the family reunions that
(07:57):
we had, weddings, bar mitzvahs when I was a kid.
And so I see them and I'm like, okay, I flashback.
I'm like, okay, this reminds me of when I was
a kid. So it's great to see him. I haven't
seen them in a long time. And they stopped by
to pay a visit. And of course the first thing
they did when they got out of the car and
into the house was busting Jerry bust my chops because
(08:18):
he's a big Phoenix Suns fan and he doesn't stay
up to listen to the show. But he watches the monologues,
the video clips on YouTube from the show, and so
he knows I've been busting the chops of the Suns,
and so he wanted to bust my balls for goofing
on his sons. He used to be a Sun season
ticket older when they had like thunder Dan Marley and
(08:40):
Charles Barkley and Kevin Johnson.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Did he bust your chop by telling you you deserve
to have Doc Rivers back.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
You're just being a jerk. Oh, he was like, tak
it easy on the Suns. You know you're jealous of
the Sons. I was implying all this different stuff because
he's heard me rip I ripped Devin Booker because Booker
has been the worst close out player in a playoffs
the last couple of years, losing by thirty points at
home back to back years. Anyway, and Duran I take
(09:10):
shots at Durant, and the Sons made a big trade
this week getting Bradley Beal. So there was that whole thing.
So he's give me a hard time, and he did
seem impressed though that. Mike Kyler Murray Mallard monologues ended
up in the Arizona Republic that seemed to be an
impressive thing. So he seemed to like that. So anyway,
we went out to a nice meal. It was on
(09:31):
a school night, Danny, so it was a school night.
You know, it's a work night. It's hard for me
to spend too much time. But they came over to
the house for a little bit, showed him around the
Mallard mansion. We went out to a nice dinner at
this great Mexican restaurant and they ended up buying. They
paid for the dinner, and this guy, my cousin Jerry,
he slipped We didn't even notice. He slipped his credit
(09:54):
card to to the waiter and he's like a ninja,
this guy, we didn't e know what he was doing.
And then by the check didn't even show up, he
had already paid for it.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
That's a veteran move.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah, that's an eighty five year old veteran of the
restaurant game.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Pretend like you're going to the bathroom and you really
go talk to the waiter or waitress and slip them
your credit card.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
It's a boss movement. It's a boss move. And so anyway,
after that, I think it was my other cousin, she
wanted some ice cream. It was Jerry. He wanted ice cream.
So anyway, we went to this ice cream shop, which
is across the way, right, So we walked across. There's
a bunch of stores and stuff. Walk across to the
ice cream shop, and I'm like, okay, I'm gonna treat.
I'm gonna pay for the ice cream.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
So I got an ice cream. He got an ice cream.
And I remember nobody else wanted ice cream, so I
thought everyone was getting ice cream. It turns out that
I got ice cream. The only reason I got ice
cream is because I thought everyone was getting ice cream.
So I order. My cousin ordered. I ordered. I was
waiting for everyone else to order. They didn't order. So whatever,
(10:59):
I paid for the ice ice cream. I get the
credit card out, I pay for the ice cream, and
we go. We have a great grand time. We go
back to the house. I'm going to work the next day.
I need to I need to get something from the store, right,
so I go to I go to the grocery store,
and i'd buy a few things. I was making some
(11:19):
some lemon cookies, so I did buy a few lemons
and smothering, and so I go to the store and
I've got all my groceries. I only bought a few things,
and I'm at to self checkout kiosk me and I
go to my wallet to pull my credit card out.
No credit and I'm like, well, what happened? Maybe I
(11:40):
left my credit card in my pants at that now.
Fortunately I had enough cash because it wasn't that much
and I always keep a little bit of cash with me,
so I was able to pay for it with cash,
which was odd. I don't remember the last time I
paid for anything with cash.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
You mentioned that on the podcast before that, that same
cash i'd betten wallet for years.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, yeah, it just stays there. But I paid. I
bought some lemons and some powdered sugar, and I forget
what else. I think I got some kind of beverage
that I had in there as well. But I bought
a few things, so I was, yeah, that's the first
time I've paid with cash in I'm not exaggerating, probably
(12:22):
several years, I would think. I don't I don't think
I'm wrong on that. I can't find my credit cards.
I go look through my old pants and looking around,
like maybe I left it in the car, maybe it
fell out in the car, and I've determined it's gone.
I we canceled the card. I think I left it
at the ice cream shop or I dropped it walking back.
(12:45):
It has not been found, and so it's a big
pain in the ass. I'm now waiting for my new
my new credit card, my new Baffosaco credit card. Unfortunately,
so that.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
There's any worse feeling, and losing your wallet or your
credit card or your ID, your driver's license, especially if
you know where you left it and you have to
run back to the scene of the crime, it is
the worst feeling.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Man.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
You're adrenaline, your heart is pumping, You're like, please be there.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Yeah. And I've been lucky this time my luck ran out.
But several times I have forgotten my wall and I
dropped it in the parking lot. One time I left
it at the checkout at the grocery store. And I
have been able to recover my wallet. One time I
fell out of the car and I drove into the
(13:38):
parking lot. It was still where it had fallen, which
is amazing that nobody picked it up and all that,
but holy macaroni, So no credit card there. I obviously
closed my eyes. I should not close my eyes. Man,
that was a mistake by me. Don't close your eyes, right,
that's the mistake right there.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Well, you remember last summer I was teaching summer schools.
I was teaching a science class. Fast forward to this
summer and I'm not teaching summer school but instead I'm
helping the district out with their summer camp program that
they have going on. So I'm getting up early in
the morning, going over helping them open the camp, working
(14:21):
for just a couple hours, maybe two and a half hours,
before I come home and do my computer work for
Covino and Rich, take a shower, and then drive into FSR.
And the great part of this camp is it's a
lot of sports outside, so it's nice to be outdoors living.
I'm throwing the football around with the kids. I'm playing handball.
(14:44):
But before they let the kids go outside at eight
thirty am, there's an hour of indoor games. And there
was a whole table of kids going into kindergarten. Really
fun age as you know, and they loved to play Uno.
Anything you tell them, if you say it in the
right way, they believe you.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Of course, you tell them that you won an Uno
World championship.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
It's smart, it's funny.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yeah, because as far as they know, I am the
undefeated UNO Champion card player of the world.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
The way I've been peacockying around.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
And you know, there's now three kids playing against me, four,
then five, and now another kid wants to join the game.
There's an entire table. I feel like I'm teaching these
kids all about Las Vegas.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Man.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
They're getting their gamble on with these Uno cards. Yeah,
got some money here. I wish I could have stole
all their lunch money from them. I'm whooping kid after kid,
game after game. After I win, I'm like and still undefeated.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
That part of it has been a lot of fun.
But unfortunately, the next at the camp, the camp director
came up to me and said, Hey, I hate to
interrupt your Uno brilliance here, but I need some help
cutting up some confetti for something that we got going
on later. And I'm like, okay, whatever. So she gives
(16:16):
me the directions. She gives me all the crap, different
colored paper and stuff, and I'm sitting there and I'm like, well,
I didn't sign up for this, but whatever, let me
let me help out whatever this lady needs. And you know,
she's like some big shot at the school district. So
I take my scissors and I'm cutting the squares and
she comes over to me and she's like, well, you
(16:38):
are a big kid, but here's some adult scissors for you.
Takes the kid scissors away from me. So I'm cutting
these squares, and the whole time I'm cutting these stupid
construction paper or confetti paper, whatever it's called, I'm kind
of starting to nod off a little bit because this
is not exciting, like beating little kids at Uno.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
And I feel my head, you.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Know, it's that feeling where you're driving falling asleep on
the road, and so my head is kind of like
and I'm still cutting the squares and the shapes. First
grader comes up to me and she says, are you
closing your eyes?
Speaker 4 (17:19):
And she says it loud enough for the other adults
to hear.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, I'm fine. I'm not
closing my eyes. And I told her, yeah, I'm just
being silly. I'm just playing with you. I said, if
my eyes were closed, could I cut all these squares?
And I show her the pile of squares and she's like, well,
it's really not that hard. And I said, well, you
go get the kid scissors back and you help, and
(17:45):
she's like that's boring, and yeah, no kidding, that's why
I'm falling asleep here. So I continue to cut the
stupid squares and shape.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
So in my head, this is the teaching equivalent of
being you know those old cartoons the punishment detail on
the military where you're like peeling potatoes. Yes, it is
like you're peeling potatoes, is what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeah, one hundred percent. I'm in the corner peeling potatoes.
And again she comes up to me and she says,
can we play Uno yet?
Speaker 4 (18:15):
And I guess my.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Eyes were closed again because then she makes an announcement
he can't play luno or cut squares because he's sleeping
over here.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Oh trouble maker.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I quickly opened my eyes and I look at where
the adults are sitting at their desk.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
In this room, and I'm like, no, no, no, no,
I'm good. I'm not sleeping. And yeah, so it's been
quite the summer camp so far. I probably got about
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Forty to fifty squares cut was the hardest half hour
I've had working in years, Ben, because man, let me
do some sports, let me do some radio, you know,
let me do a podcast. But sit me down and
have me peel potatoes and I'm useless.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
You fired. Yeah, that's that's no good. That's no boyo
is what that is? That's uh, there's.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
No way to treat an Nuno champion.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Exactly. You should get an Uno championship like metal or something.
You should have that, and then you're.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
I should come in with a wrestling belt, but just
a big Uno logo on it. Side note, none of
the kids have defeated me yet, so good.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
There you go. My game back in the day. Now,
did you play huno back in the day or is
this something? My game was go fish. I was a
master of go fish. I dominated go fish. That was
the game we played back back in the day. So
kicked out of the Halo the Dodgers. The Dodgers and
the Angels were playing. And since the Angels have unbanned
(19:49):
me from the Big A, I made a trip to
Anaheim Stadium or Angels Stadium of Anaheim, I think is
what it's called these days, Angels and Dodgers. This was
Tuesday Night.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
For the La Angels of critos.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yes, so Clayton Kershaw was pitching against I forget who
for the Angels. So I go out to the Old Ballpark,
the Venerable Old Ballpark there in Anaheim. I get there.
The I get there a few hours before the game.
The stadium was already packed. It was already plump with
people and oh my god, whatever, and so I I
(20:27):
just I get out there and I'm like, Okay, I'm
gonna watch the game, but I also need a place
to work. So Artie Marino got rid of the real
press box and instead he has an auxiliary press box,
which is down near the foul pole, the right field
foul pole at the Big As. You're literally right next
to the pearly gates. If you look to your right,
(20:49):
you can see the pearly gates. That's who you're sitting
right next to. There's it's even level with the pearly gates.
And so I go in there and every single seat
is accounted for, so I can't sit there. So then
I'm like, there's a pressed dining room. I'll go down there.
So I go down there. I see our old friend
(21:10):
Patrick O'Neill, part of the Fox Sports Radio alumni Association.
I give the piece to Patrick. He waves back. He's
having dinner with Bobby Valentine. Bobby funny to note he
did not have the nose and glasses on Danny. He
was dressed normal, so he didn't have that on. I
saw a couple of sports writer friends of mine and
(21:32):
they're eating whatever. So I'm looking around. There's some seats
in the back, and all of them were accounted for.
But I found a seat, all right, So I'm like, okay,
there's one seat I found. So I go over to
the seat and I'm like, okay, here we go. And
i put my computer on and I have to plug
it in to charge it, and there's no power, no power,
(21:57):
and then the WiFi is not working for some reason
on my computer, So now I have Wi Fi issues.
The computer is you know, I can't keep it charged.
So I left. I wasn't necessarily kicked out of the Halo,
but I made a tactical decision that I would not
(22:18):
be able to properly prepare for the show, so I
skid daddled out of there and headed back down to
the north Woods to the Malor Mansion and then and
then got ready for the show.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
There so you didn't even get to watch any of
the game.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
No. I saw some of the batting practice, and that
was it. And I didn't even bother to go on
the following night because that was sho hail tany night.
And I know I'm a veteran back in Nomo mania,
back in the day when Deo Nomo was a thing
with the Dodgers, and how the nights he pitched. It
was a very difficult ticket to get a seat, you know,
(22:56):
that game. So that was that was my night. Now,
the phrase of the week, the phrase of the week,
which is the idiom of the week.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
The phrase of the week.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
That's right, let the cat out of the bag. Have
you ever used the phrase let the cat out of
the bag? Danny G I.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Don't think I've ever said it, but I've heard it before.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Of course you've heard it. It's a cliche, it's been
used a long time. It's an idiom. And so the
obvious statement exactly, so, why would you why would a
cat ever be in a bag? Right, that's not right,
that's never been right. Why would you ever put a
cat in the back? Okay, fine, well, is it true
(23:42):
that the phrase let the cat out of the bag
goes to medieval times. That's right. That the markets, the
medieval markets, people would sell piglets and they tie the
piglets and in the bag, so that the piglets would
(24:03):
be tied in bags, and then the farmers would carry
the piglets home. So you go down to the medieval
market and you want to get a bag of piglets
and they're all tied up in the bag, put it
on your shoulder, there's no cars, and you're on your way. Well,
the theory is that at these medieval markets, humans being humans,
(24:25):
there's always these shady characters and some of the more
on the edge of morality types in medieval times. I'm
looking for the right word. I don't think I can
come over the right word. But some of the people
that were dubious, shall we say, they would insert in
(24:48):
the bag instead of four piglets, they'd put three piglets
and a less expensive animal like a cat. When the
farmer would get home, if they didn't look, they they'd say, okay,
we get piglets, and you know who let the cat
out of the bag, which is essentially a phrase to
(25:11):
expose a con man. So that was interesting. I like
that I don't know if that. I don't know if
that's bullshit or not, but it's to.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Say, I feel like the cat would cause a ruckus
being in a bag with piglets.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
You would assume so, wouldn't you.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yeah, I feel like there'd be some cat scratch fever
going on.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Hello.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Yeah. I don't have the answer to that. I'm just
this is what the people that follow language claim happened,
and that they think that's where the phrase let the
cat out of the bag camp It doesn't. I agree
with you, though. Cats are not going to sit there
with a bunch of pigs.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
No, if you try to put my cat in a bag.
First of all, anytime he's a really cool, calm dude.
He's totally chill. But if I put him in his
cat carrier, he knows he's going to the vet. So
anytime I mean thinks he's even going outside towards the car,
he freaks the f out.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
That's one.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
If he's in a tight space like a bag or
something like that, he would freak out. He would shred
that thing. So I feel like he'd shred some bacon
in that bag.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Is it possible that the pigs were dead pigs, yes,
but dead piglets though, Yeah, why would want somebody want
dead piglets?
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Yeah, that doesn't make sense. You want to grow those
things big and fat and chunky.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
You want big Heifer's is what you want. That's what
you want.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
That's a that's a drop.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
No drops from this podcast out dare you all right?
Speaker 4 (26:51):
And of the finest drops on this podcast.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
The little time left for pop goals? The culture? Are
you ready dandy for pop go the culture fired up?
Jun John? Okay, here we go. Thank you, Ohioal the
(27:19):
man who takes care of us. Well, we mentioned this
on the Overnight show. But the pop goes the culture
story out of Wimbledon. As Wimbledon has turned their commentary
away from human beings, they issued daily highlight clips from
the All England Tennis Club and it was revealed recently
(27:44):
that they are now turning to a I. The All
England Club announced the daily clips will now use AI commentary.
The new AI speaker has been trained to use the
unique language of tennis. It will also consider bald tracking
data and information about shots being used. And this is
(28:07):
the IBM Watson technology.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
Screw you AI, you can track these.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Balls exactly man well, at some point, I'm sure they'll
replace us, Danny, and they'll put AI on there. The
good thing is that.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
They could never replace live talent Ben.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Oh, sure they could ask any DJ. But here's the
thing too, Like the one saving grace is that human
beings generally part of the And maybe I'm delusional and
what do I know? But to me, part of the
fun of radio, in particular live radio is that you're
(28:49):
working and you're driving, and you're listening. You're peeking in
on a conversation. You're ease dropping in on a conversation,
say with a podcast. But you don't get that if
it's AI. The question is what you know? Would you realize?
Is AI going to be so good? You wouldn't even
know whether it's AI or not. Maybe I'm AI right now, Danny.
(29:10):
Maybe I'm not real Maybe this is all AI. And
I would never do a podcast on the weekend. Why
would I? You know, the weekend is my time. Why
would I do a podcast? This is just iHeartMedia coming
up with an AI program, an algorithm that sounds just
like the weekday show. How about that?
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Wow, my head is spinning? Do do do do? Do
do do?
Speaker 3 (29:34):
My head is spinning loser racist it it sounds like
CPU voices. It's lame, but I guess they're working on
getting the the timing of these voices down correct.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Yeah, it's like anything. It's like the video games. Remember
the video games we played when we were kids. Compared
to the video games now, it's it's a whole different ballgame.
It's a whole different world. Well, here's a story that
somewhat relates to what we talked about on the podcast yesterday.
I think it was yesterday. It was earlier. I think
it might have been earlier. This one, I don't even know.
It's all the same we were talking about. There's this podcast, right,
(30:12):
we're talking about the dating the spectrum on the spectrum
and all that.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Yeah, it was the start of this podcast.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
I don't even know anyway, So there's it kind of
goes with that theme. There is a company that has
tried to get into the niche dating market, and so
they've created all these niche dating sites aimed at people
with very specific fetishes, including and I'm not making this up.
(30:38):
Then these are actual dating websites. Now it starts some
of these are kind of obvious or or not obvious,
but you're like, Okay, that makes sense. There's a dating
website singles with food allergies. What if you're allergic to nuts,
you can find somebody else who's also allergic to nuts
and you can stay away from their nuts and all that.
(31:03):
So there's that. There is an ugly schmock dating site
for people that are not attractive. It's the number one
ugly dating community and they claim it. Their tagline is
it's for those who prefer genuine personality over outer appearance.
(31:23):
So this must be for people that just have low
self esteem and think they're ugly or they're just really ugly,
either one. So there's a website for that. Here's one
Danny a mullet dating website. Yeah yeah, it's a free
dating and chat for mullet lovers, relationship focused dating and
(31:44):
social networking. So if you have a passion for mullets,
there's a website for you. There's that. There is a
website dedicated to people that have a fetish for mustaches,
for mustache lovers.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
My mom was a huge Tom Selleck fan.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
This would have been right in her wheelhouse and date
my pet and with that one, what yeah, yeah, date,
Well it's not I don't think it's beastiality.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
But this was about gerbils.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Maybe not, but they say that. On this dating website
there's a vetting process and every pet owner on the
site they have a rule if you want to date me,
you have to date my.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Petff Oh man.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
These are the same chicks that say, it's my baby,
it's my kid, it's my everything. You get the out
of here.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Yeah, this is the this is the woo.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
Back to me when the vet bill is six thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Well, this is the woman back when I was dating
that has the list. She wants mister perfect, you know,
and she's not going to settle for anything else. But
she's got her cats. She's the crazy cat lady, you
know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
But in southern California, the crazy ones have the little doggies.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Oh yeah, the little lap dog type thing. I hear
you on that. But yeah, I got you date my pet.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
You ever crawled into a girl's bed and her little
dog growled at you?
Speaker 1 (33:19):
I have had dogs.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
Audible woman's bed.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah, back in the day. She doesn't like you. For
some reason, she never acts like this. I don't know why.
Maybe she's I don't know this clown dating website. Every
the taglines everybody loves a clown, Let a clown love you?
Speaker 4 (33:44):
My God? That's Waltz. Not everybody loves a cloud.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Oh, here's a rock and roll themed website. If you're
into heavy metal music, there's metal dating. There's a metal
dating website. So how about a lace keddy? Okay, I mean,
I going on. There's a bunch of these things. But
this company, are they making any money at that? I
(34:11):
don't know. I don't work for the company. I have
no idea. All right, we'll get out on that, Danny,
anything else you would like to promote it? Saturday, we're
hanging out here on the weekend. Wonderful June ye day.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Every Saturday Bend has been a garage project for me.
As you can see behind me, there's a new backdrop,
which is just a blank wall right now. But I
have most of this side of the garage now put together,

Speaker 4 (36:03):
Austa pasta population
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 in.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
The air everywhere. Welcome in to the podcast, Doe Joe,
We are hanging out on the weekend. Here the Fifth
Hour with Ben Maler and Danny G. Radio. Because four
hours a night on the overnight or not enough. You
hear the Ben Malor Show Monday through Friday Eastern Standard
(00:53):
time two am till six am, and then on the
West Coast it's eleven pm Sunday through Thursday till three
am on Friday. Thursday to Friday, the end of the weekend,
it's Saturday and Danny G's on with Covino and Rich
during the week on Fox Sports Radio and we unite
we form Voltron on the weekends and this is the
(01:15):
Saturday podcast Danny From Pillar to Post. It's all about
the life of Malor and the Life of Danny g
and we are off to the races. Yet again. It
does not get better than this. Danny on this podcast,
we have no credit. Don't close your eyes. Kicked out
of the Halo the phrase of the week, and pop
(01:38):
goes the culture which is likely way too much content,
which means we probably won't get to half of that,
but hopefully we will. Hopefully we will. It'll be mouth
watering good goodness.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
With not a lot of sports on the calendar. And
if you're watching our Dodgers and their bullpen and vomits
all over the mound and you get pissed and turn
it off, what have you been watching?
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Have you been watching some documentaries?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
So I have watched a few documentaries on the weekend,
but during the week I'm usually flipping around to random
baseball games and if the Dodgers, Dodgers played well this weekend, anah,
I'm actually more on that coming out in a minute.
But I'm trying to think, what did I I watched
the It's not a documentary. I watched the Smoking Hot
(02:25):
Cheetos movie. You know that?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah, yeah, I watched that with the WiFi last weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
And then I was very upset. After I watched it.
I thought it was pretty good. I watched it whatever,
and then like two days later, somebody sent me a story.
We had mentioned it on the show. It came up
in conversation on the show, and somebody sent me a
story that that entire premise for the movie was debunked.
It's bullshit. It didn't happen, like the way that.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
There was a big argument on Covino and Rich about this,
because there are two camps and they've been arguing and
arguing over this, and there are people like Eva Longoria
who swear this happened, and then there's other people saying
he's just an executive, that guy and his background story
was made up.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah, I don't know. I mean, it was a good
movie and all that. I do know that based on
my experience in the corporate world that if you create
something other people want to take credit for, you know't
what I'm saying, Danny, where like maybe that guy came
up with it, But then there's other people that said, no,
you didn't really do that. I know somebody else. You know,
It's like, I don't know, I don't know what happened,
but it was a nice movie for a couple hours.
(03:37):
I checked it out.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Fine, well, it's interesting. Joe Montana said it did not happen.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Well he said it, then there you go. That's that's
the end all be all. But not trying to think
any other documentaries. I watched a lot of like random
short documentaries on YouTube, but that that doesn't No, no, no,
there's this bald and bankrupt guy that I've been watching.
I used to watch him. I've been back watching that
(04:06):
and just random random nonsense. What about you, Danny, anything
pop up?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Let's see, I've been watching ninety dight Fiance and there's
a spin off of that show. It's matched me Abroad.
And there's this forty two year old guy on the Spectrum.
His name is Harold.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Oh yeah, you know what My wife track, she said,
you got to see this show. I said, what is that?
Because I have a buddy of mine that's kind of
on the spectrum and she said, you guys see this
guy should be on the dating show. And yeah, that's
all man. It is TV gold it is. It's so
amazing that I'm surprised it made it on television, Danny,
(04:47):
you know what I mean. I'm surprised there's not some
group out there saying, hey, wait a minute, you're messing
with these people. You're mocking these people. You can't put
that on television. It's it's done well. It makes them
look good and all that. It's very but are you
talking with which one? I only watched like half of
one episode, which one was Harold was Harold?
Speaker 4 (05:06):
No, Harold? He he went? Where did he go?
Speaker 3 (05:10):
He went to Serbia or somewhere like that looking for
a wife. And the first girl that the matchmaker hooked
him up with was like this tall blonde and her
face was a little beat up, but like this tall
blonde and she's like, that's what he's asking for.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
But on the second date, I'm gonna give him what
he deserves.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Oh shit. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
The way she said it was just like, you know,
like he's just this big time loser. So then the
second date he goes out with like a girl next
door type, kind of homely to be honest, but just
because she shows a little bit of interest in him,
he falls all google in love with her.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
He's great.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I saw the one. I saw the he went to
a renaissance thing in New York on the Spectrum Dating
show thing and they were like dressed up and then
the guy he got dumped by the girl I don't know.
And then there was a in that episode there was
a math guy that was I don't know it was
it was, it was wild and crazy.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
He was packing to go on this trip and he
made sure to bring his rock collection to show off
to his future wife.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Well, you know, every man, I don't care if you're
on the spectrum or not knows. You got to impress
the lady, you know. And what woman is not just blown.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Away by rocks?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Right? I mean? That is that is going to get
you right to the bedroom right there?
Speaker 4 (06:38):
That not a volcanic rock.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
That will get the juices flowing right, that that.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Git her as hot as lava.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yeah, exactly exactly. Uh So the no credit story will
start with that. I had some visitors at the Malor
mansion over the last week since we got together on
this podcast, and some of my older cousins made a
visit and I love them to death. My cousins from Phoenix,
(07:10):
Jerry and Lynn are their names. One of them is
eighty five years old, the others eighty and they get
out of Phoenix. They have a tradition in Phoenix. This
time of the year, it is as hot as the
face of the sun. So they since they're retired, they
just get out on the road. They pack up their
car and they just leave and they visit relatives and
(07:34):
travel around and see the country. And so they headed
from Arizona to southern California. They're actually driving all the
way to Alaska. Wow. And these are the kind of relatives.
I'm sure you have this too, Danny, where you see
these people and you flash back to when you were
like thirteen years old, you know what I mean. I
was around them at family events, the family reunions that
(07:57):
we had, weddings, bar mitzvahs when I was a kid.
And so I see them and I'm like, okay, I flashback.
I'm like, okay, this reminds me of when I was
a kid. So it's great to see him. I haven't
seen them in a long time. And they stopped by
to pay a visit. And of course the first thing
they did when they got out of the car and
into the house was busting Jerry bust my chops because
(08:18):
he's a big Phoenix Suns fan and he doesn't stay
up to listen to the show. But he watches the monologues,
the video clips on YouTube from the show, and so
he knows I've been busting the chops of the Suns,
and so he wanted to bust my balls for goofing
on his sons. He used to be a Sun season
ticket older when they had like thunder Dan Marley and
(08:40):
Charles Barkley and Kevin Johnson.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Did he bust your chop by telling you you deserve
to have Doc Rivers back.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
You're just being a jerk. Oh, he was like, tak
it easy on the Suns. You know you're jealous of
the Sons. I was implying all this different stuff because
he's heard me rip I ripped Devin Booker because Booker
has been the worst close out player in a playoffs
the last couple of years, losing by thirty points at
home back to back years. Anyway, and Duran I take
(09:10):
shots at Durant, and the Sons made a big trade
this week getting Bradley Beal. So there was that whole thing.
So he's give me a hard time, and he did
seem impressed though that. Mike Kyler Murray Mallard monologues ended
up in the Arizona Republic that seemed to be an
impressive thing. So he seemed to like that. So anyway,
we went out to a nice meal. It was on
(09:31):
a school night, Danny, so it was a school night.
You know, it's a work night. It's hard for me
to spend too much time. But they came over to
the house for a little bit, showed him around the
Mallard mansion. We went out to a nice dinner at
this great Mexican restaurant and they ended up buying. They
paid for the dinner, and this guy, my cousin Jerry,
he slipped We didn't even notice. He slipped his credit
(09:54):
card to to the waiter and he's like a ninja,
this guy, we didn't e know what he was doing.
And then by the check didn't even show up, he
had already paid for it.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
That's a veteran move.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah, that's an eighty five year old veteran of the
restaurant game.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Pretend like you're going to the bathroom and you really
go talk to the waiter or waitress and slip them
your credit card.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
It's a boss movement. It's a boss move. And so anyway,
after that, I think it was my other cousin, she
wanted some ice cream. It was Jerry. He wanted ice cream.
So anyway, we went to this ice cream shop, which
is across the way, right, So we walked across. There's
a bunch of stores and stuff. Walk across to the
ice cream shop, and I'm like, okay, I'm gonna treat.
I'm gonna pay for the ice cream.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
So I got an ice cream. He got an ice cream.
And I remember nobody else wanted ice cream, so I
thought everyone was getting ice cream. It turns out that
I got ice cream. The only reason I got ice
cream is because I thought everyone was getting ice cream.
So I order. My cousin ordered. I ordered. I was
waiting for everyone else to order. They didn't order. So whatever,
(10:59):
I paid for the ice ice cream. I get the
credit card out, I pay for the ice cream, and
we go. We have a great grand time. We go
back to the house. I'm going to work the next day.
I need to I need to get something from the store, right,
so I go to I go to the grocery store,
and i'd buy a few things. I was making some
(11:19):
some lemon cookies, so I did buy a few lemons
and smothering, and so I go to the store and
I've got all my groceries. I only bought a few things,
and I'm at to self checkout kiosk me and I
go to my wallet to pull my credit card out.
No credit and I'm like, well, what happened? Maybe I
(11:40):
left my credit card in my pants at that now.
Fortunately I had enough cash because it wasn't that much
and I always keep a little bit of cash with me,
so I was able to pay for it with cash,
which was odd. I don't remember the last time I
paid for anything with cash.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
You mentioned that on the podcast before that, that same
cash i'd betten wallet for years.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, yeah, it just stays there. But I paid. I
bought some lemons and some powdered sugar, and I forget
what else. I think I got some kind of beverage
that I had in there as well. But I bought
a few things, so I was, yeah, that's the first
time I've paid with cash in I'm not exaggerating, probably
(12:22):
several years, I would think. I don't I don't think
I'm wrong on that. I can't find my credit cards.
I go look through my old pants and looking around,
like maybe I left it in the car, maybe it
fell out in the car, and I've determined it's gone.
I we canceled the card. I think I left it
at the ice cream shop or I dropped it walking back.
(12:45):
It has not been found, and so it's a big
pain in the ass. I'm now waiting for my new
my new credit card, my new Baffosaco credit card. Unfortunately,
so that.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
There's any worse feeling, and losing your wallet or your
credit card or your ID, your driver's license, especially if
you know where you left it and you have to
run back to the scene of the crime, it is
the worst feeling.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Man.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
You're adrenaline, your heart is pumping, You're like, please be there.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Yeah. And I've been lucky this time my luck ran out.
But several times I have forgotten my wall and I
dropped it in the parking lot. One time I left
it at the checkout at the grocery store. And I
have been able to recover my wallet. One time I
fell out of the car and I drove into the
(13:38):
parking lot. It was still where it had fallen, which
is amazing that nobody picked it up and all that,
but holy macaroni, So no credit card there. I obviously
closed my eyes. I should not close my eyes. Man,
that was a mistake by me. Don't close your eyes, right,
that's the mistake right there.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Well, you remember last summer I was teaching summer schools.
I was teaching a science class. Fast forward to this
summer and I'm not teaching summer school but instead I'm
helping the district out with their summer camp program that
they have going on. So I'm getting up early in
the morning, going over helping them open the camp, working
(14:21):
for just a couple hours, maybe two and a half hours,
before I come home and do my computer work for
Covino and Rich, take a shower, and then drive into FSR.
And the great part of this camp is it's a
lot of sports outside, so it's nice to be outdoors living.
I'm throwing the football around with the kids. I'm playing handball.
(14:44):
But before they let the kids go outside at eight
thirty am, there's an hour of indoor games. And there
was a whole table of kids going into kindergarten. Really
fun age as you know, and they loved to play Uno.
Anything you tell them, if you say it in the
right way, they believe you.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Of course, you tell them that you won an Uno
World championship.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
It's smart, it's funny.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yeah, because as far as they know, I am the
undefeated UNO Champion card player of the world.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
The way I've been peacockying around.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
And you know, there's now three kids playing against me, four,
then five, and now another kid wants to join the game.
There's an entire table. I feel like I'm teaching these
kids all about Las Vegas.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Man.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
They're getting their gamble on with these Uno cards. Yeah,
got some money here. I wish I could have stole
all their lunch money from them. I'm whooping kid after kid,
game after game. After I win, I'm like and still undefeated.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
That part of it has been a lot of fun.
But unfortunately, the next at the camp, the camp director
came up to me and said, Hey, I hate to
interrupt your Uno brilliance here, but I need some help
cutting up some confetti for something that we got going
on later. And I'm like, okay, whatever. So she gives
(16:16):
me the directions. She gives me all the crap, different
colored paper and stuff, and I'm sitting there and I'm like, well,
I didn't sign up for this, but whatever, let me
let me help out whatever this lady needs. And you know,
she's like some big shot at the school district. So
I take my scissors and I'm cutting the squares and
she comes over to me and she's like, well, you
(16:38):
are a big kid, but here's some adult scissors for you.
Takes the kid scissors away from me. So I'm cutting
these squares, and the whole time I'm cutting these stupid
construction paper or confetti paper, whatever it's called, I'm kind
of starting to nod off a little bit because this
is not exciting, like beating little kids at Uno.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
And I feel my head, you.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Know, it's that feeling where you're driving falling asleep on
the road, and so my head is kind of like
and I'm still cutting the squares and the shapes. First
grader comes up to me and she says, are you
closing your eyes?
Speaker 4 (17:19):
And she says it loud enough for the other adults
to hear.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, I'm fine. I'm not
closing my eyes. And I told her, yeah, I'm just
being silly. I'm just playing with you. I said, if
my eyes were closed, could I cut all these squares?
And I show her the pile of squares and she's like, well,
it's really not that hard. And I said, well, you
go get the kid scissors back and you help, and
(17:45):
she's like that's boring, and yeah, no kidding, that's why
I'm falling asleep here. So I continue to cut the
stupid squares and shape.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
So in my head, this is the teaching equivalent of
being you know those old cartoons the punishment detail on
the military where you're like peeling potatoes. Yes, it is
like you're peeling potatoes, is what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeah, one hundred percent. I'm in the corner peeling potatoes.
And again she comes up to me and she says,
can we play Uno yet?
Speaker 4 (18:15):
And I guess my.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Eyes were closed again because then she makes an announcement
he can't play luno or cut squares because he's sleeping
over here.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Oh trouble maker.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I quickly opened my eyes and I look at where
the adults are sitting at their desk.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
In this room, and I'm like, no, no, no, no,
I'm good. I'm not sleeping. And yeah, so it's been
quite the summer camp so far. I probably got about
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Forty to fifty squares cut was the hardest half hour
I've had working in years, Ben, because man, let me
do some sports, let me do some radio, you know,
let me do a podcast. But sit me down and
have me peel potatoes and I'm useless.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
You fired. Yeah, that's that's no good. That's no boyo
is what that is? That's uh, there's.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
No way to treat an Nuno champion.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Exactly. You should get an Uno championship like metal or something.
You should have that, and then you're.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
I should come in with a wrestling belt, but just
a big Uno logo on it. Side note, none of
the kids have defeated me yet, so good.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
There you go. My game back in the day. Now,
did you play huno back in the day or is
this something? My game was go fish. I was a
master of go fish. I dominated go fish. That was
the game we played back back in the day. So
kicked out of the Halo the Dodgers. The Dodgers and
the Angels were playing. And since the Angels have unbanned
(19:49):
me from the Big A, I made a trip to
Anaheim Stadium or Angels Stadium of Anaheim, I think is
what it's called these days, Angels and Dodgers. This was
Tuesday Night.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
For the La Angels of critos.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yes, so Clayton Kershaw was pitching against I forget who
for the Angels. So I go out to the Old Ballpark,
the Venerable Old Ballpark there in Anaheim. I get there.
The I get there a few hours before the game.
The stadium was already packed. It was already plump with
people and oh my god, whatever, and so I I
(20:27):
just I get out there and I'm like, Okay, I'm
gonna watch the game, but I also need a place
to work. So Artie Marino got rid of the real
press box and instead he has an auxiliary press box,
which is down near the foul pole, the right field
foul pole at the Big As. You're literally right next
to the pearly gates. If you look to your right,
(20:49):
you can see the pearly gates. That's who you're sitting
right next to. There's it's even level with the pearly gates.
And so I go in there and every single seat
is accounted for, so I can't sit there. So then
I'm like, there's a pressed dining room. I'll go down there.
So I go down there. I see our old friend
(21:10):
Patrick O'Neill, part of the Fox Sports Radio alumni Association.
I give the piece to Patrick. He waves back. He's
having dinner with Bobby Valentine. Bobby funny to note he
did not have the nose and glasses on Danny. He
was dressed normal, so he didn't have that on. I
saw a couple of sports writer friends of mine and
(21:32):
they're eating whatever. So I'm looking around. There's some seats
in the back, and all of them were accounted for.
But I found a seat, all right, So I'm like, okay,
there's one seat I found. So I go over to
the seat and I'm like, okay, here we go. And
i put my computer on and I have to plug
it in to charge it, and there's no power, no power,
(21:57):
and then the WiFi is not working for some reason
on my computer, So now I have Wi Fi issues.
The computer is you know, I can't keep it charged.
So I left. I wasn't necessarily kicked out of the Halo,
but I made a tactical decision that I would not
(22:18):
be able to properly prepare for the show, so I
skid daddled out of there and headed back down to
the north Woods to the Malor Mansion and then and
then got ready for the show.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
There so you didn't even get to watch any of
the game.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
No. I saw some of the batting practice, and that
was it. And I didn't even bother to go on
the following night because that was sho hail tany night.
And I know I'm a veteran back in Nomo mania,
back in the day when Deo Nomo was a thing
with the Dodgers, and how the nights he pitched. It
was a very difficult ticket to get a seat, you know,
(22:56):
that game. So that was that was my night. Now,
the phrase of the week, the phrase of the week,
which is the idiom of the week.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
The phrase of the week.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
That's right, let the cat out of the bag. Have
you ever used the phrase let the cat out of
the bag? Danny G I.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Don't think I've ever said it, but I've heard it before.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Of course you've heard it. It's a cliche, it's been
used a long time. It's an idiom. And so the
obvious statement exactly, so, why would you why would a
cat ever be in a bag? Right, that's not right,
that's never been right. Why would you ever put a
cat in the back? Okay, fine, well, is it true
(23:42):
that the phrase let the cat out of the bag
goes to medieval times. That's right. That the markets, the
medieval markets, people would sell piglets and they tie the
piglets and in the bag, so that the piglets would
(24:03):
be tied in bags, and then the farmers would carry
the piglets home. So you go down to the medieval
market and you want to get a bag of piglets
and they're all tied up in the bag, put it
on your shoulder, there's no cars, and you're on your way. Well,
the theory is that at these medieval markets, humans being humans,
(24:25):
there's always these shady characters and some of the more
on the edge of morality types in medieval times. I'm
looking for the right word. I don't think I can
come over the right word. But some of the people
that were dubious, shall we say, they would insert in
(24:48):
the bag instead of four piglets, they'd put three piglets
and a less expensive animal like a cat. When the
farmer would get home, if they didn't look, they they'd say, okay,
we get piglets, and you know who let the cat
out of the bag, which is essentially a phrase to
(25:11):
expose a con man. So that was interesting. I like
that I don't know if that. I don't know if
that's bullshit or not, but it's to.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Say, I feel like the cat would cause a ruckus
being in a bag with piglets.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
You would assume so, wouldn't you.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yeah, I feel like there'd be some cat scratch fever
going on.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Hello.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Yeah. I don't have the answer to that. I'm just
this is what the people that follow language claim happened,
and that they think that's where the phrase let the
cat out of the bag camp It doesn't. I agree
with you, though. Cats are not going to sit there
with a bunch of pigs.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
No, if you try to put my cat in a bag.
First of all, anytime he's a really cool, calm dude.
He's totally chill. But if I put him in his
cat carrier, he knows he's going to the vet. So
anytime I mean thinks he's even going outside towards the car,
he freaks the f out.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
That's one.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
If he's in a tight space like a bag or
something like that, he would freak out. He would shred
that thing. So I feel like he'd shred some bacon
in that bag.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Is it possible that the pigs were dead pigs, yes,
but dead piglets though, Yeah, why would want somebody want
dead piglets?
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Yeah, that doesn't make sense. You want to grow those
things big and fat and chunky.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
You want big Heifer's is what you want. That's what
you want.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
That's a that's a drop.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
No drops from this podcast out dare you all right?
Speaker 4 (26:51):
And of the finest drops on this podcast.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
The little time left for pop goals? The culture? Are
you ready dandy for pop go the culture fired up?
Jun John? Okay, here we go. Thank you, Ohioal the
(27:19):
man who takes care of us. Well, we mentioned this
on the Overnight show. But the pop goes the culture
story out of Wimbledon. As Wimbledon has turned their commentary
away from human beings, they issued daily highlight clips from
the All England Tennis Club and it was revealed recently
(27:44):
that they are now turning to a I. The All
England Club announced the daily clips will now use AI commentary.
The new AI speaker has been trained to use the
unique language of tennis. It will also consider bald tracking
data and information about shots being used. And this is
(28:07):
the IBM Watson technology.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
Screw you AI, you can track these.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Balls exactly man well, at some point, I'm sure they'll
replace us, Danny, and they'll put AI on there. The
good thing is that.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
They could never replace live talent Ben.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Oh, sure they could ask any DJ. But here's the
thing too, Like the one saving grace is that human
beings generally part of the And maybe I'm delusional and
what do I know? But to me, part of the
fun of radio, in particular live radio is that you're
(28:49):
working and you're driving, and you're listening. You're peeking in
on a conversation. You're ease dropping in on a conversation,
say with a podcast. But you don't get that if
it's AI. The question is what you know? Would you realize?
Is AI going to be so good? You wouldn't even
know whether it's AI or not. Maybe I'm AI right now, Danny.
(29:10):
Maybe I'm not real Maybe this is all AI. And
I would never do a podcast on the weekend. Why
would I? You know, the weekend is my time. Why
would I do a podcast? This is just iHeartMedia coming
up with an AI program, an algorithm that sounds just
like the weekday show. How about that?
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Wow, my head is spinning? Do do do do? Do
do do?
Speaker 3 (29:34):
My head is spinning loser racist it it sounds like
CPU voices. It's lame, but I guess they're working on
getting the the timing of these voices down correct.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Yeah, it's like anything. It's like the video games. Remember
the video games we played when we were kids. Compared
to the video games now, it's it's a whole different ballgame.
It's a whole different world. Well, here's a story that
somewhat relates to what we talked about on the podcast yesterday.
I think it was yesterday. It was earlier. I think
it might have been earlier. This one, I don't even know.
It's all the same we were talking about. There's this podcast, right,
(30:12):
we're talking about the dating the spectrum on the spectrum
and all that.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Yeah, it was the start of this podcast.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
I don't even know anyway, So there's it kind of
goes with that theme. There is a company that has
tried to get into the niche dating market, and so
they've created all these niche dating sites aimed at people
with very specific fetishes, including and I'm not making this up.
(30:38):
Then these are actual dating websites. Now it starts some
of these are kind of obvious or or not obvious,
but you're like, Okay, that makes sense. There's a dating
website singles with food allergies. What if you're allergic to nuts,
you can find somebody else who's also allergic to nuts
and you can stay away from their nuts and all that.
(31:03):
So there's that. There is an ugly schmock dating site
for people that are not attractive. It's the number one
ugly dating community and they claim it. Their tagline is
it's for those who prefer genuine personality over outer appearance.
(31:23):
So this must be for people that just have low
self esteem and think they're ugly or they're just really ugly,
either one. So there's a website for that. Here's one
Danny a mullet dating website. Yeah yeah, it's a free
dating and chat for mullet lovers, relationship focused dating and
(31:44):
social networking. So if you have a passion for mullets,
there's a website for you. There's that. There is a
website dedicated to people that have a fetish for mustaches,
for mustache lovers.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
My mom was a huge Tom Selleck fan.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
This would have been right in her wheelhouse and date
my pet and with that one, what yeah, yeah, date,
Well it's not I don't think it's beastiality.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
But this was about gerbils.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Maybe not, but they say that. On this dating website
there's a vetting process and every pet owner on the
site they have a rule if you want to date me,
you have to date my.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Petff Oh man.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
These are the same chicks that say, it's my baby,
it's my kid, it's my everything. You get the out
of here.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Yeah, this is the this is the woo.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
Back to me when the vet bill is six thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Well, this is the woman back when I was dating
that has the list. She wants mister perfect, you know,
and she's not going to settle for anything else. But
she's got her cats. She's the crazy cat lady, you
know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
But in southern California, the crazy ones have the little doggies.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Oh yeah, the little lap dog type thing. I hear
you on that. But yeah, I got you date my pet.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
You ever crawled into a girl's bed and her little
dog growled at you?
Speaker 1 (33:19):
I have had dogs.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
Audible woman's bed.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah, back in the day. She doesn't like you. For
some reason, she never acts like this. I don't know why.
Maybe she's I don't know this clown dating website. Every
the taglines everybody loves a clown, Let a clown love you?
Speaker 4 (33:44):
My God? That's Waltz. Not everybody loves a cloud.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Oh, here's a rock and roll themed website. If you're
into heavy metal music, there's metal dating. There's a metal
dating website. So how about a lace keddy? Okay, I mean,
I going on. There's a bunch of these things. But
this company, are they making any money at that? I
(34:11):
don't know. I don't work for the company. I have
no idea. All right, we'll get out on that, Danny,
anything else you would like to promote it? Saturday, we're
hanging out here on the weekend. Wonderful June ye day.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
